CLASSIFIED ADS I CENT A WORD _J V VOL. 9 NELSON. B. C. MONDAY MORNING. MARCH 27. 1911 NO. 291 TF, AWFUL FIRE TRAP Hundred and Fifty Victims in Twenty Minutes RAIN OF HUMAN FLESH AND BLOOD Worst Catastrophe Since Slo- cum Disaster—Frantic Leap to Death NEW YORK, March 26.—One hundred and forty-eight persons, nine-tenths of them girls from the East Side, were crushed to death on the pavements, smothered in smoKe and shriveled to a crisp In a factory fire yesterday afternoon In the worst disaster New York has known since the steamship General Slocum was burned to the water's edge off North Brothers island In 1904. One hundred and forty-one bodies had been recovered from the ruins at midnight and seven of the 40 injured had died In hospitals. This, it Is believed, completes the list of dead, moBt of whom are unidentified. Grief-crazed relatives Jiesieged the morgue as the bodies were laid out. Nearly all, if not all of the victims were employed by the Triangle Waist company on the eighth, ninth nnd tenth floors of a 1,0-story building at 23 Washington place, on the western fringe of the downtown wholesale clothing district. The partners of the firm, Isaac Harris and Max Blanck, escaped .unscathed from the office on the tenth floor, carrying with them over,an adjoining roof Blanck's two young daughters and a governess. There was no outside escape on the building. Origin Unknown. How the fire started will perhaps never ho known. A corner on the eighth floor was its point of origin and the three upper floors were only Bweiit. On the ninth floor 50 bodies were found, fi3 or more persons crushed to death hy jumping and more than 30 clogged the elevator shaft. The loss to property will not exceed $100,000. Rain of Flesh and Blood. Pedestrians going home through Washington place to Washington square at 10 minutes to 5 were scattered by the whizz of something rushing through the air before them. There was a liur* rlble slop on the pavement and a body flattened on the walk. People on the opposite side of the street shaded their eyes against the setting sun and saw the windows of the three upper floors of the building black With girls crowding to the sills. There were no firo escapes. "Don't jump," yelled the crowd, hut the girls had no alternative. The pressure of the maddened hundreds behind them and the urging of their own fears were too strong. They began to fall to the sidewalk in a terrible rain of flesh and blood. Pour alarms were rung within 15 minutes. Before the engines could respond, hefore the nets could be stretched or the ladders raised, five girls had fallen from the eighth and ninth" floors so neavily that they broke through the glass and Iron roofs of the suboellara and crashed through the very streets into the vaults below. In an hour the fire was out. In half an hour it had done its worst; probably the death list ■was full In 20 minutes. The building stands on a corner with -exposure on two sides, but the only fire escape was in the interior, opening on » light and air shaft. In all there were seven exits, tho single fire escape, two freight elevators at the rear, two passenger elevators in front and two stairways. All of them proved almost useless, and practically all who escaped ellmbed to the roof and scrambled thence to the roof of the building occupied by the American Book company adjoining, or fled in the first rush for safety before the crush and the smoke grew too thick. Building Only Smudged. The building Btands with shell Intact aud barely scarred, rather only smudged, the partitions of the architectural tiling of the floor are sound and lt Is Impossible for one who did not see It to imagine how the flames In so short a space could have wrought euch havoc. Died in Their Chairs. Seven hundred hands, hundreds of them women, were employed by the shirt waist company. They sat ln rows at their machines, the tables before them piled with flimsy cloth, the floor -covered with lint nnd the air full of flying Inflammable dust. The first rush of flames was almost an explosion. Operators died In their chairs, their lungs seared by Inhaling flames. Others were crowded into the elevator shafts after the cars had made their last trip. Others were pushed off in the Inadequate interior fire escape. In such a horrible stream did the bodies overflow from tho windows that the fire nets stretched by the firemen were soon gorged beyond capacity. Twelvo bodies weighed one net to the burst ing point, but the bodies kept on tumbling to the pavement through nets that could uo longer support them. Curtain of Flame. When the first breath of flame curled over the edge of a pile of shirting on the eighth floor, five minutes before quitting time, hundreds were in line before the cashier's window. In the office buildings across Washington place scores of men detained beyond office hours worked at their desks. One of them saw a girl rush to a window and throw up the sash. Behind her danced a seething curtain of yellow flame. She climbed to the sill, stood In black outline against the light, hesitating, then with a last touch of futile thrift slipped her chatelaine bag over her wrist and jumped. Her body went whirling downward through the woven wire glass of a canopy to the flagging below. Her sIb- ters who followed shot through the air like rockets. It was 85 feet from the eighth floor to the ground, 115 feet from the cornice of the roof, and the upward rush of the draught and the crackle of the flames drowned their cries. Six girls fought their way to a window on the ninth floor over the bodies of fallen fellow workers and crawled out In single file to an eight-Inch atone ledge, running the length of the building. More than a hundred feet above the sidewalk they crept along their perilous pathway to a swinging electric feed wire spanning Washington place. <Net Smashed. The leaders paused for their companions to catch up at the end of the ledge and the six grabbed the wire simultaneously. It snapped like rotten whip cord and they crashed to death. A 13- year-old girl hung for three minutes by her finger tips to tho sill of a tenth floor window. A tongue of flame licked her fingers and she dropped Into a life net held by firemen. Two women fell into the net at almost the same moment. The strands parted and the two women were added to the deatli list. A girl threw her pocketbook, then her hat, then her furs from a tenth floor 'window. A moment later her body came whirling after them to death. At a ninth floor window a man nnd a woman appeared. The man embraced the woman and kissed her, then he hurled her to the street and then Jumped. Both were killed. Shapeless Mass. Five girls smashed a pane of glass, dropped to the street nnd were crushed Into a shapeless mass. A girl of the eighth floor leaped for a fireman's ladder which reached only to the sixth floor. She missed, struck the edge of a life net and was picked up with her back broken. From one window a girl about 13 years of age, a woman, a man and two women with their arms about one another threw themselves to the ground in rapid succession. The little girl was whirled to the hospital In an automobile. She screamed as the driver and a policeman lifted her into the hallway. A surgeon came out, gave one look nt her face and touched her wrist. "She is dead," he said. One girl jumped into a horse blanket held by firemen and policemen. The blanket ripped like cheese cloth and her body was mangled beyond recognition. Another dropped into a tarpaulin held by three men; her weight tore It. from their grasp and she struck the street, breaking almost every bone in her body. Almost at the same time a man somersaulted down upon the shoulder of a policeman holding the tarpaulin. He glanced, struck the sidewalk and was picked up dead. Gruesome Freight. Joseph Zllo and Joseph Cassar were In charge of the two passenser elevators on the Washington place side of the building, where the main entrance opened. At the first alarm of fire, they claim, they began to make trips to the danger zone as fast as they could operate their cars. Two freight elevators on the Green street side were operated by Frank Formenck and Michael Sciacia, and they, too, took a hand in the life saving, The two passenger elevators are said to have made at least 20 trips and the two freight elevators half as many. The machinery of the freight elevators broke down under the rapid work and tbey were rendered useless. After one or two trips by the elevators the press against the doors of the shaft became so great that they were opened with difficulty when the cars, each having a capacity of 15 persons, arrived at the ninth floor. Zllo struggled to close the door of the Bhaft when his car had been Jammed full, but after he had started the car it was torn open and a number of women leaped into the shaft after the descending car, falling on the roof of the car even after lt had reached the ground floor. Those who had landed alive had been crushed to death against the walls. With this gruesome freight, Zllo continued to run bis car. The shaft was practically clogged with the dead and the smoke and flames were roaring In the shaft. Police Charge Spectators. The call for ambulances was followed by successive appeals for police until 500 patrolmen arrived to cope with a crowd numbering tens of thousands, a mixture of the morbidly curious nnd of crazed relatives and friends of the victims, A hundred mounted policemen had to charge tho crowd repeatedly to keep It back. Led by Fire Chief Groker, a squad of firemen stormed the stairway and gained access to the building at 7 o'clock. Two searchlights from buildings opposite lighted the way of the fire fighters as they ascended to the top floors. Fifty roasted bodies were found on the ninth floor. They lay In every possible position, somo bo ( Continued on Pag-e Four.)

Neilson, the well- known Fruitvaie rancher, who was in Nelson on Saturday with the demonstration special. > "At the end of the present season 800 acres of land will be under cultivation ln thp nine-mile stretch of valley comprising the settlements of Fruitvaie, Columbia Gardens and Waneta.' In this stretch of territory 10,000 fruit trees have been ordered for planting this spring." Mr. Neilson Is a director of the South Kootenay Farmers' institute, which was organized last year and which includes ln its membership nearly every fruit grower in the district named. Mr. and Mrs. Neilson left with the demonstration train yesterday morning. The site selected for the new enterprise is peculiarly well situated as It is right on the railway track and the building of a spur will not he necessary. The machinery for the new factory will be purchased shortly, Mr. McDonald having arranged to make a trip to the east within the next few days. Everything will be in readiness, Mr. McDonald expects, for the opening of the small fruit season- In June.

LOOKING FOR MINING INVESTMENT British Mining Engineer and Capitalist on a Visit to Coast—Looking Over Field (Snecial to The Daily News.) VANCOUVER, B. C, March ifl).-John Crankshaw, mining engineer from London, Ettg., who Is also a financier, has arrived In the city from Mexico, where he controls large gold and silver-lead interests.

SERMON EXPOUNDS THE HOLY PLACES Rev, Mr, King of Cranbrook Preaches to Large Congregation in Baptist Church—Nation Building. From the text, "The place whereon thou standest is holy ground," Rev. C. W. King of Cranbrook preached a striking sermon from the Baptist pulpit yesterday morning to a large congregation. The preacher applied the words spoken by the Lord to Moses standing in awe before the burning bush, to various situations in life, commencing with the parallel of humankind recognizing as sacred certain earthly fanes, such as tbe tombs of heroes, battlefields where great causes had been decided, and other spots or objects linked with history iu such a way as to command Uie reverence of both individuals and nations. One of these holy places was at the birth of a nation, when It behooved all to pause, and, in reverence, most searchfngly canvass the tendencies and the requirements, in the light of build ing wisely for the ruture. The person, also, stood on holy ground who had influence with a child at its formative period, or with a young person at the threshold of life. From the mother stone, worth hut little In its un wrought state, might be cut a priceless jewel. A child contained a future man or woman of infinite possibilities. The giving of right tendencies to the heart of a child was a work that in worth outweighed nearly all else. A third holy place indicated by the preacher was the shrine of the Bible. The church's power lay ln that citadel, he said, and if the enemy got within the wails and controlled the munitions of war the kingdom might as well surrender at once. Mr. King addressed the Sunday school in the afternoon, on the occasion of the quarterly review, and also conducted the service in the evening, which was on a missionary topic. Mr. King leaves for Cranbrook this morning. S00KE MISSIONARY AMONG THE LOST Steamer Founders off Coast of Vancou ver Island—Thirteen Drowned— Some Passengers Landed VANCOUVER, B.

The Gait mines are lifting about 1100 tons dally and have 5000 tons on hand. Most of the output next week will be saved as outside orders have not been heavy. The Royal Collieries and Dla mond mines have been shipping their entire output and have none in reserve Local demands can be supplied by tbe Ashcroft and Upton mines which are not In the association but. the output is not large enough to supply any outside points. The C.P.R. has not enough coal in stock here, the dump having all been used during the snow blockade. Steam outfits will be hit hard as the output will not he sufficient to supply them. [Local dealers keep none in slock, delivering direct from the mines to the consumer. Companies Affected CALGARY, Alta., March 20—The fo' lowing is the list of companies affected by the strike: Crow's Nest Pass Coa Co., Coal Creek and Michel; Hosmer Mines, Ltd., Hosmer; Corbin Coal Co.

The average pay per day is near $". The 1G mines when running full capacity can produce about 12,000 tons a day. Union In Fighting Form The coal operators remained over for another conference on Saturday and have all gone home. In discussing tho situation Clem Stubhs, vice-president of the union and A. .L Carter, secretary, expressed themselves as positive that the strike will come and that the union is in better shape to fight to a conclusion than it ever was before. Local dealers do not fear a shortage of domestic coal after the strike Is called hut are certain that steam coal will he very scarce. The mine operators will not guarantee the delivery of steam coal after April 1. They will not. guarantee delivery at all at the present scale of prices. Tn the Crow's Nest Pass and southern Alberta a few mines might continue to run. The Corbin mines though belonging to the association, have an agreement with the miners that will not expire until May 8 next. This mine has a capacity of 1000 tons a day although recently it has heen getting out only about 100 tons a dny. The McGllllvray Creek mine wns Independent of the operators association and produces about 300 tons a day. They have nol. as yet signed up any agreement with the miners. The Taber mines producing about 000 tons daily have made no agreement with the men. This mine is also independent. There are well organized unions at both points WILL ENFORCE DRASTIC CLOSURE O'Connor's Weekly Comment From London—Radicals Censure Premier Asquith (By T. P. O'Connor.) LONDON, March 20—The tide of the Anglo-American entente Is flowing on steadily and uninterruptedly, but not In such a fierce current. A certain pause ls suggested by some cautious observers, especially-Sir Edward Grey. This ls doubtless inspired by the idea that it ls wise to await a corresponding response from Amerlcn to the wild welcome of the Idea hy the English public opinion but the feeling undoubtedly still Is strong and unanimous and no voice dares to raise Itself against it. Home affalrB are still In the lull caused by the Interposition of voting appropriations. This pause is acceptable, for some of the rumors circulated this week are that the Tories will throw out their speculations of a possible compromise and Instead engage In weaving a new scheme for meeting the attack on the house of lords by projects of self reform. New Scheme of Reform Lord .Selbourne, lately governor general of the Transvaal, started his Btump- ing campaign with a flourish of trumpets and in three speeches in different parts of the country he brought forward a brand new scheme of reform. The Tory journals announced ostentiously this new scheme of reform and prophesied that it would knock the bottom out of the Liberal program and the Veto bill, but the opposite results followed and the new scheme is found to be merely the same old tinkering plan already proposed. Lord Rosebery and Lord Lansdowne like the new scheme as it retains carefully the hereditary principle and secures the domination In the new second chamber of the Tory majority. The scheme, therefore already has been laughed out of court and tbe situation remains the same only more solid, that is to say, the conviction of the Liberals Is deepened that self reform by the lords Is quite as hopeless now as before the last election. This leads to a greater and even fiercer determination to push on the Veto bill without delay and without a compromise. Two or three half hearted Liberals are reported to have approached the Labor leaders with a scheme of compromise, but all Bitch offers are dismissed with contempt and anger. Indeed so strong is the feeling of the Radicals that the battle must go to the hitter end that they held a meeting to condemn Premier Asquith because he seemed to yield more time to the obstructive Tory tactics than was safe.. Drastic Closure Another rumor, started by lhe Tories, with the view of suggesting that Mr. Asqulth was weakening and that a compromise still was possible was that parliament would separate for a full month at coronation time. At once the Tory newspapers announced that this long vacation was given for an opportunity for conference and new proposals of compromise. Mr. Asqulth replied strenuously denying that any such idea caused the long vacation. He then reduced the Eastern vacation down to four days and gave notice that next Monday in order to meet the obstinate Tories' filibustering intended to delay the Veto hill, he would propose the most drastic form of closure. Doubtless the Tories next Monday when the closure Is proposed, will raise a big howl and perhaps they will force an all night silting but the Liberal blood now is thoroughly up and Mr. Asquith's resolution will be carried at any cost. Thus tbe way is cleared for Ihe bill and on Monday April I!, we shall be once more In the full fury of the veto fight. Ministers III The only weakness of tho ministry at the present moment is the numbers of its members on the sick list. This necessitates another shuffling of the ministerial cards. Secretary Haldane's removal to the house of peers was the first step in this reconstruction but others are expected. Mr. Lloyd George still is absent, the malady in his throat proving obstinate and the bad weather of the last Tew days bringing back the old symptoms, but all of the reports that he was struck down by a malignant disease are false. His absence weakens the ministry, especially as (lie debates of the last two weeks have been mainly on his budget, and the ministry plows its way along with the subordinates and when the obslruction become too palpable the closure is immediately applied. Situation in Ireland The situation in Ireland is quite satisfactory. The annual subscription for the parliamentary party has Just started .with a big boom, largely helped by gigantic gatherings In every English and Scotch towns during tbe St. Patrick's day celebrations. One indirect but prompt effect of the campaign for an Anglo-American entente is that England's relations with Germany have entered Into a new aud very friendly stage and even the difficult Bagdad railway question, which threatened their good relations, for years, approaches an amicable settlement. A wave of peaceful feeling is passing over Europe and men see visions already of international and universal peace, all of which helps the cause of home rule as the necessary and first point of departure In relieving England from danger. Big Crowd Greets Farming Experts Here UNITED STATES LOOKS NORTHWARD Professor Thatcher Discusses Food Production Problem in States CHANGE IN COAST SCHEDULE LIKELY Captain Gore Expects Arrow Lakes to Be Open for Navigation by Saturday Next. That the Arrow lakes will in all probability be open for navigation by Saturday next was the statement made by Captain J. C. Gore, superintendent of the lake and river service of the C. P. R., last night. In this event the coast train will resume its regular schedule, both leaving and arriving hore during the evening, At present coast passengers are being convoyed to the main line at Revelstoke via the Slocan lake and Nakusp route. Altnough the wnter has not. risen very much in the Arrow lakes, Captain Gore stated that the Ico was going away rapidly and that he thought the boats would be able to get through about the first of next month Fully 800 people, of which a large per*- centage were ladies, welcomed the Great Northern railway-Washington State college demonstration train which concluded its tour through Washington and southern Britisli Columbia here on Saturday afternoon. On board the train, which consisted of six cars of horticultural, agricultural, domestic science and live stock exhibits were a number of state college exxperts, several Great Northern officials, W. E, Scott, deputy minister of agriculture who met the train at the boundary line and performed the official ceremony of welcome lo British Columbia, and M. S. Middleton assistant provincial horticulturist for the district. Welcomed by Citizens At tiie local depot the (rain was met by Mayor Selous, F. A. Starkey, president of tbe associated boards of trade, J. L. Buchan, president of the Nelson hoard of trade and a large number of other prominent citizens. From one of the cars the mayor explained to the large crowd of ranchers, business men and ladies the object of the demonstration train. He thought that the enterprise of the railway company and the college and their courtesy in crossing tbe line into British Columbia would result in local ranchers and others obtaining much useful information on the various subjects covered by the train and the lecturers on board. Mr. Scott spoke of lhe good work carried on by tbe college and said that the domestic science car was one of tho most valuable features of the train. 11a thought that anything that could ba done towards improving ihe life of the rancher of British Columbia and of showing him how lie could obtain tho maximum production from the fertile lands of the province was worthy of tbe most substantial support. R. C. Ashby, superintendent of Farmers' institutes for the state college, paid a tribute to the government of British Columbia for their efforts in the interests of agriculture and spoke of its cordial invitation to the college experts to visit the province. United States Looks to North R. W. Thatcher, director of the college, emphasized the value of experimental farms and said that it was a favorable sign of the times that men in all walks of life were beginning to take an interest in tbe production of food. With regard to the relative positions of Canada and the United States In the matter of food production Mr. Thatcher said tbat he thought it would not bo very long hefore the United States would have to call on Canada for supplies. Stailstics showed, he said, that if the food requirements increased in the states at its present rate in three years time the demand would be greater than tbe supply In his own country. "Perhaps that's why we want reciprocity," be remarked. There was need for intelligent con- servatlon of the soil, continued the speaker, even in this most favored district. Farmers should most carefully husband, maintain and restore the native vegetable fertility of the soil. At the conclusion of the introductory speeches tbe public was invited to inspect the cars where demonstrations were given In pruning, spraying and other subjects of interest, to horticulturists in one car. In another were exhibited sanitary dairy utensils and blue prints of the most desirable forms of dairy sheds. To Light Farm Houses Electrically One of tbe most interesting exhibits was a farmers electric light generating outfit, which cost $126 for the engine and $100 for the dynamo. In the poultry car were shown the most desirable styles of Incubators, brooding boxes, laying houses nnd chicken houses. A most Interesting lecture was on fruit pest and on the use of the hydrometer for testing tbe strength of the lime* and sulphur solution commonly used for destroying scale and other diseases. The lecture on domestic science by Dean Elton Fulmcr, slate chemist and Miss Mackay and Mrs. Fggc drew a largo crowd of ladies, the majority of whom wero members of the Nelson and District. Women's institute. Other lectures were delivered by H. L. Blanchard on poultry raising, hy A. B. Nystrom on dairying and by Prof. Fulmer on purefoods. Cijt Bailp J.eu»&.

C. **«? A. S. Goodeve, fu\, on Reciprocity Agreement Notable Speech in the House of Commons, Ottawa-Canada at the Parting of the Ways-Not for the First Time-Avowed Purposes of the United States—A Remarkable Letter from Cecil Rhodes to Sir John .Macdonald Following are portions of the notable 1 Hous aro different—different because speech on tho reciprocity asreemetU | the repeal of the treaty^removedevery made by A. S. tloodeve, M.P., In house of commons, Ottawa, on March 13. Other portions of the same speech dealt with the agreement in connection with the fruit, industry of the Kootenay and the lead and zinc ore mines. These latter portions of the speech will he reproduced in tomorrow's Issue, lack of space making it Impossible to present them today. Mr. Goodeve said: in 1891 the Liberal-Conservative party made Its last appeal for reciprocity, und in 1897-8 the Liberal party, through the right hon. leader of the government (Sir Wilfrid Laurier), aa clearly demonstrated by tbe hon. member from North Toronto, declared that they, too, were done with it. Allow me to again refer to his words. In 1898 he said: "Canada loday is not in favor of reciprocity. There was a time-when Canadians, beginning wltli myself, would have given many things to obtain tbe American market, but thank heaven those days aro past, aud over." Ten years afterward, at tho imperial conference in London, be made this statement: '"I here was a lime wlien wo were wanting reciprocity with the United States, but our efforts were put aside and negatived. We have said good-bye to that trade, and we now put all our hopes on tbe British trade." And, later, In 1909, in the house of commons, the right lion, gentleman said: "Canada has opened her doors to Ureal Britain in the hope that she would ultimately receive similar preferential tretament from the mother country." ! am bound, therefore, to agree wltli those, wbo take the position that the people of Canada as a Whole hud declared against reciprocity, and that there has been no mandate from them since to reopen the question^ Then, what, was It that brought about this ; sudden change of policy"? It is true prop on which we had formerly leaned and the true temper of our Anglo- Saxon spirit was roused to action. I think no country in the. world affords a belter illustration of public spirit than Canada when the United States in 1886 flung our poverty in our faces and told us our only choice was starvation or annexation." That was the attitude of the United States at that time. But while we were developing these scattered provinces and endeavoring lo bind them together by tills road, let me ask the leader of the government: Was it the Yankee dollar or waB It the English shilling was it the Muriroe doctrine or was it the Union Jack that was protecting our trade while we were taking their surplus agricultural products of this country across tbo water? That is the question for the house to consider at this time. Mr. Cbnirmnn, there was another time when Canada came to tbe parting of the ways, and with your permission I would go back and review one or two other instances in order that you may better understand tbe attitude of the two parties. In 1870 when the question of taking British Columbia into the confederation arose in order lhat we might have this oulport on the Pacific which some men today are endeavoring to force into a closer relationship with the nation of the south, the same men then said that the cost of securing the trade of British Columbia for Canada would be too great, that lhe province was not worth it.

Heard Storm Rising. The trained ear of the right hi leader of the government was first to hear the storm-waves rising on the Atlantic, a storm which the first minister feared would, with ever-increasing strength and vigor, sweep across ^.his country from Halifax to Vancouver, until it broke upon tho Pacific, sweeping from power the men who failed to hear its voice. Something must le done and done quickly. A hurry call was issued. The minister of finance (Mr. Fielding) and the minister of customs (.Mr. Paterson) were ordered lo pack their grips and hurry off to Washington ami bring back something that would distract, the attention of the people. But, Mr. Speaker, this is a serious question and I would like to deal with it for a few moments from a broad national standpoint. In doing so, 1 would take my text from Ihe words spoken President Taft in delivering his mes* sake: '"They (Canada) are coming to the parting of the ways." This is not tho first time that we have come to tbe parting of the ways In the long fight for consideration in 1810 to 18(17, when the hest men of both parlies laid parly affiliations aside and fought for what tbey believed to be fu the best Interests of national life. There were a few men then, as now, who opposed confederation. Some who would have preferred annexation, commercial union, call it what you will, but tbe broader minds triumphed, and confederation lie* came an established fact ln 1807. During the latter part of the treaty of 1854 to 1800, from a succession of unusual causes, among them the Crimean war and the War of Secession, accompanied as tbey were by the stoppage and devastation of agricultural Industry in the United States, gave on unusual demand and high prices for the products of this country, but with the settlement of these disturbing causes, and the renewal of her Industries there arose in the United States a demand for its abrogation. Did they consider panada for a moment in the matter? No, tbe treated was abrogated. It was largely because of the abrogation of that treaty that the Imperial loan act was passed, whereby the British people advanced £3,000,000 to complete th© building of the Intercolonial road. But after the building of that road, we find the trade of western Canada und the western states flowed not to the maritime provinces but to the ports of the United States. I would like to quote from Sir George Robs to show the position of affairs at that time and also how he regarded this matter. Here Is what h© said before the Canadian club in the city of Toronto: "In 1866, when the old treaty was repealed, we were poor in banking cap* Iltal, in skilled labor, in agriculture und in manufactures. A treaty then would — have afforded some relief—today condi- oni plelcd Hu "I Suffered Intense Pains in My Left Side."

MILES MEDICAL CO., Toronto, Can. der which British Columbia agreed to enter into the confederation was tht building of a transcontinental railway It was absolutely essential, if she v;m to trade with the real of Canada, thu that undertaking shou! Spirit of Statesmanship. When ihe hon. tbo minister i f i (Mr. Templeman) was speaking other day, almost his first words weie that he remembered the lime when (hero was no trade east or west wltli Uie province of British Columbia, but when all the trade—"all the irade," and he repeated It—was north and south, and he seemed to be proud ol it. Well, sir, there were men In those days as there are men today, who were turning away from the promised laud, and looking back to the flesh pots cf Egypt, men who preferred to trade with north and south rather than east and west. There were men ia those days, on that side of the house, who said Uie task was tpo great for the people of Canada to undertake. They said: "Kven though we succeed in this vast, undertaking the results will not be worth the while. Tbey said British Columbia ' was nothing but a sea of mountains, But Sir we are glad to say Hint the same spirit of Auglo-Saxonlsm, the same spirit of British statesmanship that animated the Llberal-Coh* serv.i't.ive parly of thai day when tbey gathered together to bring about confederation, that same spirit animates the Liberal-Conservative party today. Now tiie time came tbat one of those crises tbat come to all nations, came to Canada, as it has come to every nation in Uie world, when there was a world-wide depression in trade, when we found our farmers working tin* profitably early and late, when we found these scattered villages along the frontier of this enormous territory for 4,DbO miles, when we found many of our mechanics without work. Then the same men who were trying to build up Canada stepped into the breach and they said: If we are to become successful in building up a nation we must round out the country, we must build up our Industries nnd our factories; and so they fought the great fight we are fighting today, and they adopted the principle of a national policy. How did tbey do It? By one or two men ia n dogmatic way bringing down a resolution and asking this house to support it, without consulting the people at all? No, but they formulated a national policy, which was discussed freely and frankly in the house; it was discussed on every platform in Canada, it was discussed in every newspaper in Cun- ada, and finally they issued a manifesto to the people of Canada, relying on their sound sense of good judgment, and the result waa that they were returned to power on the great question of a national policy. Sir, that day there came a change into the affairs of this great dominion of ours. The small and scattered villages lying along our shores grew from villages Into towns, nnd from towns into cities. Everywhere we say the smoke and steam of industry end heard the sound of the hammer. We gradually evolved a home market 'for our people, and those farmers who heretofore had heen complaining, and justly so, of lack of a market commenced to sell their home products to the artisans, laborers and mechanics In these growing towns. The result Is that gradually up confidence la the power ot the people of Canada. They felt that this, was tbe policy for them, that no longer would they look to the nation of the* south, and they were able, aa their fathers had been hefore them, as tho great pioneers and colonizers of the world, to build up their own national life and so they continued along that line, National Standpoint. I am glad to learn that at the pros* ent hour, when we have arrived at [another crisis in our history, there are still great Canadians, men In all walks ol" life, who arc prepared io look on this question from a broad national standpoint, men who are prepared to absolve themselves from their party allegiance to further what, they believe to be tho welfare of our country. I have said (bat I would deal with this question from the point of view of the statement made by the president- of ibe United States, aud in order that we may understand what President Taft meant by that statement I shall read it, with its context, and I shall also read the oyln- Vj IT HEliE SHICE WO- a\ v_m ^velour Monef, * Commence How! .

In consequence of which values have risen gradually from $1500 to $2000 per acre and it is considered good buying at these advanced prices hy shrewd and experienced dealers in acreage. The south*Suore of lake Burnaby is undoubtedly destined to be one of tbe choice residential spots of Greater Vancouver, where values will steadily Improve. Vegetation is rank and the fortunate Ideal home seeker who secures his settlement beside the peaceful waters of this beautiful lake will be envied in the future. Already in anticipation of the early opening of tin new electric line many new homes are being added and more contemplate building as soon as the line is in operation, which is only a matter of a tew days now. When it is remembered that this district is but 20 minutes from the centre of the city via the new route, with Its many superior advantages over other districts of a similar distance, some idea as to the future of this district may be gained. Many new roads, sidewalks and other municipal improvements aro ulso under way which when completed will put late Burnaby south ln the first ranks of Creator Vancouver's rapidly developing suburbs. nMMRnn For three years we have steadily advised all our clients to invest between Burnahy lake and New Westminster. We stated repeatedly that values were too low compared with South Vancouver, North Vancouver and other districts. Values have steadily advanced with the growth of New Westminster, but during the last three months everything In the locality has almost doubled in value. This Is no boom by real estate agents, hut is caused by tho immense amount of development taking place everywhere. The greatest factor is the rew B. C Electric line from Vancouver to Chilliwack via Burnaby lake. This line will be opened in a few days and will he the scenic nlr line between the cities. No grades, fast palatial cars, and the rush to secure homesites on beautiful lake Burnahy and Deer lake between the cities Is bound to send prices skyward. We are just putting on a new addition of 300 lots adjoining New Westminster city limits. The new carline runs through lt. There will be a station on the property. Every lot commands a view ot the carllnes, railways, manufacturing district, the Fraser and Port Mann just across the river. It is in all respects a splendid investment, bound to increase very rapidly ln value. Get particulars. The Wright Investment Co. NELSON, B. C. -J -Jl :_!LTO. ■tr?r™-iiu*mw_*_memmmwMtiimmiM!*i A, S. GOODEVE, M.P,, ON RECiPROCITYJGREEMENT (Continued from Pago Two.) but steadily tbey removed the mortgages from their farms and there grew ions of other men who are iu a position to speak on this subject. President Taft said: - "lhe Identity of Interests of -two peoples, linked together by race, language, political institutions and geographical proximity offers the foundation. The dominion has greatly prospered; it has an active, aggressive and Intelligent people. They are coming to the parting of the ways. They must soon decide whether they are to regard themselves as Isolated permanently from our markets by a perpetual wall or whether we aro to be commercial friends." . , In connection with those words of tbe president in his message, let me read the opinions of others who are in a position to interpret the meaning of these words and the meaning of this reciprocity pact with the United States. Mr. McCall, chairman of the ways and means committee of the house of representatives, said: "The benefits to us would be enormous, If we could sweep away all tariffs between the two countries. It would have the effect on our trade of another Louisiana purchase." Again in the closing paragrph of his report: "The bill takeB a long step toward •establishing for this continent and North America of unrestricted trade and commerce." Senator Sherman made use of these ■words: "Now, Mr. President, taking a broader view of the question, I Bubmlt if the time has not come when the people of the United States and Canada should take a broader view of their relations to eaeh other than has heretofore seemed practicable. "Since the conquest of Canada by Great Britain In 1763, she has been a continuous warning that we can not he at peaoe wtth each other except hy political as well as commercial union. Canada should have followed the fortunes of the colonies In the American revolution. The way to union with Canada Is not by hostile legislation, not by acts of retaliation, but by friendly overtures. This union Is one of the events that must Inevitably come In the future. The true policy of this government, then, le to tender freedom in trade and intercourse, and to make this tender In such a friendly way that It shall be an overture to the people of Canada to become a part of this nation." Lord Milner said: "Nothing ono says can make things any better. It is idle to shut our eyes to the fact that the proposed treaty, like that already concluded with France, must tend to diminish British preference, and is,, to 'that extent, detrimental to the policy of closer union." In the "Congressional Record," one of tbe senators from Wisconsin is reported to have said: "There ls not a citizen in the United States who would raise his voice against the admission of Canada to the Union, thus bringing about almost the Identical conditions to be achieved by this treaty." Under the Stars and Stripes. Can anytlilng be more emphatic could anything be stronger as to this man's Idea of the meaning of the treaty? I have quoted the remarks of a western senator, and I now take the following extract from the speech of Mr. Young of New York, an eastern senator: "Fifty yearB hence the population of the United States will probably be ^00,01)0,000 and the American pcoplo will cross the border in steadily increasing numbers, so that the population ef tho dominion is likely to bo made up largely of Americans, possibly a majority, aud who can tell what may come through the friendly relationship with the mother country oE both the United States and Canada? It seems as though In the course of time—it may be 60 years, it may he 100 years, but ultimately—that the American continent will be one people, living under one flag, and by their influence, bring about amity throughout the world which is the desire of all thinking, God-fearing men." The Leader of the Democrats. There Is another opinion as to what this reciprocity treaty will load to. I will now quote a man, wbo, uinler the pecuiinr constitution of the United States, occupies an almost similar position to that of the premier of Canada. I refer to ihe speaker of the new house of representa'lves, .Mr. Champ Clarke. It is true that Mr. Clarke has been cited before, but we can not impress on the minds of the people of Canada tno often what be says was intended by this reciprocity pact. Mr. Clarke spoke, not In a joking way, I assure you, but as a shrewd, capable legislator, a man who occupies the highest position in the American congress: "I look forward to the time when the American flag will fly over every square foot of British North America up to the north pole. The people of Canada are of our blood and our language. If the treaty of 1854 never had been abrogated, our countries would he much further advanced than now toward this end." Want to Take Canada In. In that particular I agree with Mr. Champ Clarke, and you will remember that I have already said that in my opinion the abolition of t..at treaty was a blessing in disguise and has done much toward the upbuilding of the great country we have today. Mr. Martin or South Dakota interrupted and said: "Will the gentleman favor the abrogation of our tariff law entirely so far as Canada Ib concerned, and make free trde on nil products?" Mr. Clarke—"By taking Canada in to become a part of the United States-- yes." Then Mr. Norris of Nebraska asked: "As I understand it, the gentleman favors the bill for at least one reason, that it will have a tendency In the end to bring Canada into the Union?" Mr. Clarke replied: "Yes, I have no doubt about that.", Cecil Rhodes to MacDonald. Now mark, the statement is here made that he favored the bill for one reason, and what Is the one all-compelling reason that Influences this man, who occupies such a high position In the United States, viz., to bring Canada into the American Union? His one alt- prevailing reason ls that it will have a tendency to, in the end, bring Cauada into the American Union. Now, Mr. Chairman, if that should be the result of this treaty, and honestly and sincerely I feel that is its tendency, then I would like to ask every Canadian throughout the dominion if they are in favor of such a thing? In that connection I would like to cite a statement which has not yet been published, and which should have the greatest possible weight with this government, with the Finance minister, and with the minister of customs. It is the statement of a man who was a Liberal and a free trader, a man who did more than any one man In the great British Empire for the.building up of that empire, a man who almost unaided and alone has brought an entire dominion under the Union Jack. I referto the late Cecil J. Rhodes of South Africa. The words of Mr. Rhodes are almost prophetic.

The annual banquet of the travellers ls looked forward to by many as one at the pleasantost functions of the year. When I read them a few months ago 1 never expected they would apply as they do on the present occasion; I never looked forward io ihe time, and I hoped I never should see it, when these words would have lhe bearing on our country's position that this pact gives to them. On the 8th of May, 1801; Mr. Rhodes wrote a letter to Sir John A. MacDonald, and in it he said: "Dear Sir—I wish to write and congratulate you on winning the elections in Canada. I read your manifesto, and I could understand the issue. If I might express a wish, it would he that we could meet before stern fate claims us. I might, write pages, but I feel I know you and your politics as if we had been friends lor years." Phophetic Words The whole thing lies In the question and note this: Can we invent some tie with our mother country that will prevent separation? It must be a practical one, for future generations will not he born in England. The curse is that English politicians cannot see the future. They think they will always be the manufacturing mart of the world, but do not understand what protection coupled with reciprocal relations means. I have taken the liberty of writing to you and if you honor me with an answer, I will write again. C. J. RHODES It is a marvellous thing and lt appealed to me as a young Canadian. Fancy those prophetic words and think of a man who haB done so much for the empire. He asks: Can we invent some tie with our mother country that will prevent separation; it must be a practical one. Mr. Chairman, I fear, an I say it in all sincerity that we have reached that point tonight that was certainly the position when tbe war was brought on In 1891. This letter was written in the fiscal year of 1891 and those were the words of that statesman. He made these remarks after discussing the whole question, he feared it might mean the breaking up of the empire and he said: It would be an awful thing to be a party to the breaking up of the empire. Canada's Present Position I appeal to you and to every member of the house having the interest of Canada at heart, looking back to her history for the laBt ISO years, realizing the difficulties we have come through, tbat we should be careful before casting our vote on a question of this nature. Who of us haB not stood on an ocean shore? We have watched the waves as they come and go, coming in nearer, nearer, and again receding and lt has 'been difficult for us to say at times whether the water was rising or receding. Thus it was been with the history of Canada. There have been times In the history of Canada when the tide of trade, the tide of commerce and the tide of prosperity has risen and come near, and again there have been times of trade depression when the tide seemed to recede, and finally, like the waves of the ocean have come In those mighty waves of prosperity until we, of all nations of the world have heen prosperous. Our banks, our saving hanks, our trade, our commerce, our workmen, our artisans, everybody has been successful and prosperous and just when this tide of prosperity is nt its very height, like a bolt from the blue, without mandate, without consultation with the people, without consideration of the requirements of this country of ours, without asking or seeking that they might bo guided In this great undertaking, in the reversal of this policy, they have case this bolt upsetting, endangering and interfering.

' A romance has been revealed by the death of Mr. George Edward Dering of Locksleys, Herts, England, that would be considered grossly overdrawn had it appeared In the form of a novel. Dering was a man of wealth, intellect and that he had been married, but bis will revealed the existence of a daughter, now a woman with a family of her own, who had not seen her father since childhood, The Fatal Marriage. Mr. Dering was born In 1831, and inherited the very fine Locksleys estate of some 1,200 acres from his mother, the daughter of an Irish baronet. He also inherited two other estates, that of Dunmore, In Galway, from his uncle, Sir George Shee, the politician and ■ambassador, and the third, (he old Bar- ham court and estate, from bis father's brother. We are not provided with any particulars of Mr. Derlng's earlier Inherited social position, who lived lu seclusion and filth for some 40 years. Not until after, his death was it known career, but are left ta assume that until he was 40 or so he was much like nny other well-to-do English gentleman. He contracted a secret marriage,-however, and apparently it was this unhappy venture that mnde of him the recluse and eccentric ho was for half a long lifetime. / A Clever Inventor. His only child, a daughter, was sent away, ami saw her rather no more. An allowance sufficient for her maintenance nnd education was paid through bis lawyers. Kor some time Mr. Dering occupied his mind with scientific and mechanical experiments, and it is said that, had he chosen, he could huve made a large fortune out of his inventions, The chair to held the j rail for railway sleepers was an invention of his, and it brought him in a great sum iu royalties. An Important contrivance connected with the electric light was also invented by Mr. Dering, but wns neglected, since he had no further ambition lo make money. On his Hertfordshire estate lie set up a large foundry for making experiments with steel, and for a long time kept some 40 men steadily employed. His Father's Wardrobe. It was at this period of his career that he gave an order to a bookseller for every book in any1 language on the subject of electricity. In response to this order mnny boxes of books were sent to him. Today they remain In the cases as they arrived. They were never opened, nor were they sent back or destroyed. So, too, with the foundry, which has slowly rusted ond crumbled to decay in the past 30 years—Mr. Dering would not have It dismantled, nor would he allow the accumulating debris to be cleared away. Just one thing about the house was carefully preserved, and that was the wardrobe of i Mr. Derlng's father, which was treasured as though it were of priceless value. His own clothes were those of a tramp. The Hermit Connoisseur. For many years Mr. Dering lived in seclusion at Brighton. On one occasion the barking of a neighbor's dog annoyed him, and he got rid of it. He bought the neighbor's house and kept it vacant. Then the corporation band acquired the habit of playing close to the house, and Mr. Dering was driven out of Brighton. He returned to Locks- leys, which he had previously viBited only on Christmas eve for many years, and there he passed the laBt few years of his life In absolute solitude. He spend many thousands of pounds on a new high road to divert traffic from his house. He occupied only one room, and there he lived in almost Indescribable filth and squalor, while the fine home and beautiful grounds were permitted to fall into neglect. Ivy almost covers the hall, and weeds are about the only thing that grow on whnt was once a show place of the county. Inside the house famous pictures and objects ihat would delight connoisseurs, which he had inherited or collected In earlier years, were left hanging or 'standing as on the day they first entered the place; and It Is said that they Include some treasures that had been supposed to have disappeared forever. A Friend of Blondin's. Among them Is the earliest known specimen of andiron, which was dug up on the estate. These things appear to have been less valued in late years hy their owner than his collection of ropes, etc., connected with Blondin's performances. The equilibrist was one of his few friends, and Mr. Dering might also have become a famous tightrope walker had he bo desired, since he was very expert. The real Becret of tho man's eccentric career has not been revoaled. Otherwise, here, in the Bpace of a column, is all the raw material for such a romance aB would bring an author fame and fortune.

Belcher, wbo put up his usual consistently good game, passed successfully to Treaby-Heale, who made the only score of the half. ln the second period the Y. M. C. A., although with the wind ut their backs, did not press the Kootenay boys aa hard as might have been expected, though the play never let up for a moment. The score was tied hy Seaman, who got over the tine as a result of a nice dribble by Hopkins, For the Kootenians Belcher, Clyne and Appleyard played a steady game and the rest of tiie team backed them up manfully.

FOSTER Manager MONDAY, MARCH 27 COULD IT OCCUR IN NELS0N7 Today's dispatches tell of scenes of horror in New York .where scores of people' were trapped in a fire swept building without adequate means of exit. In Nelson is there due provision for the exit of people present in those places where the public are from time to time invited to he present for one purpose or another? Is it true of everyone of these that in event of fire breaking out and swiftly spreading all who were present could speedily and safely get away? Are there sufficient exits and fire escapes? Is due precaution taken against the possibility of the occurrence of disastrous fire? Are no possible causes of euch fire allowed to exist underneath or in dangerouB proximity to any such place of public assembly? To take an instance: If the galleries and main floor of the opera house were filled with an audience and if a conflagration broke out, would everyone ln the galleries and ln the other portions of the building find ample means for Immediate exit? Is it reasonably certain that they would be able to escape,—oris lt not? Are there sufficient exits, or are there not? If ample and sure provision ts made for the safety of the public, there is good reason for congratulation. If there Is not, what public authority is neglecting Its plain duty?

St. lsadore, Que., 12 May, '98. who had died a horrible death, who would be guilty? A BILLION BUSHELS OF CANADIAN WHEAT On the prairies nowadays, they are talking of a billion bushels ot wheat in 1920. And they give calculations to back up their predictions. To produce a billion bushels would require 500,000 farmers, having an average of 100 acres each under crop and an average yield of 20 bushels per acre. In a good year the average yield might easily run a good deal higher than 20 ■bushels per acre; and at present the ordinary prairie farmer who has been a few years on his land has more than 100 acres under crop. Whether there will be 500,000 fanners on the prairie by 1920, and, if there are, whether they will' put an average of 100 acres each into wheat, is another question. If the wheat output of the prairie continues to double and redouble at its present rate, tbe supply may outrun the demand and the price may fall. This may tend to a change of crop or to a lessening of immigration. At present immigration Is coming In at the rate of about 400,000 per annum. This includes women and young children; it also includes large numberB of male adults without families. At a low estimate, out of every 400,000 people who come to the prairie, 50,000 are adult farmers who will take up land of their own and cultivate It. At this rate nine yearB immigration would bring in 450,000 such farmers to add to the number already there. The total would thus be more than the 500,000 required to produce a thousand million bushels of .wheat in 1920,—nlne years hence. ' Whatever the precise amount of wheat in 1920 may be, one thing Is sure. The soil to produce a billion bushels of wheat is there and hefore many years the men to cultivate the soil will be there, too. If they do not produce a billion buBhels of wheat it will not be because they cannot. British opponents of tariff reform who question whether Canada and Australia can grow enough wheat to supply the British market, and who as evidence quote the statistics of five years ago, are rather in need of elementary instruction. According to Whittaker's Almanac for 1910, the total imports of wheat into Great Britain for 1908, the latest year given, was less than 185,- 000,000 bushels,—less than one-fifth of one billion bushels. Canada can produce more than 185,000,000 bushels of "wheat to export within five years, and probably sooner. Of course the consumption of wheat Is growing, ln Canada, in Great Britain and elsewhere, for the wheat consuming population is increasing. It is just a question, however, whether the production of wheat may not temporarily become bo great in proportion to the demand as to again lower prices. In that case the prairie farmer may turn to other forms of agriculture to a certain extent, WAIST FACTORY AWF1XRRE TRAP (Continued trom page one. charred that recognition was impossible; a half dozen were nude with the , flesh hanging in shredB to the hones, women with their hair burned away with here and there limbs being entirely burned off and the charred stumps visible were lifted tenderly from the debris, wrapped in oilcloth and lowered by pulleys to the Btreet. Across the street there rested on the sidewalk a hundred coffins, in which were placed the bodies. As fast as this was done, the coffins were carried away in any kind of a vehicle that could be pressed into service to the morgue at Bellevue hospital and to the charitieB pier morgue, operated for the first time since the Slocum disaster. Gallant Rescues. On the tenth floor of the building adjoining the burning structure Is the law department of New York university. Here 20 odd students were listening to a lecture by Frank H. Stommer, former aherirf of Essex county, New Jersey. He saw the smoke and saw the girls trapped on the roof. He led bis class to the roof of the university quarters, where they found two ladders. The boys seized these, bore them down two flights to the roof of an intervening building, swarmed out of the windows and raised them to the roof of the burning building. Forty girls were brought down to safety. Hyraan Mescher, a cutter, slid down the elevator cable 10 stories and was found alive at the bottom, standing in water up to his arm pits. His hands were lacerated and bis forehead was cut, but otherwise he was unhurt. Jimmy Lehan, a traffic squad policeman, dashed up eight lllghts of stairs, when the fire was at Its height, braced his shoulders against |a barred door and hurst it in. He found a score of girls crazed with fright. He ordered them down the smoke-filled stairway, but they balked. He used his club nnd drove them down to safety, not one of their number perishing.

Freece, who represents the Interdenominational Council of Women In America, and who ls here for the purpose of combatting the work of Mormon missionaries In England, saw Wlnslon Churchill recently. The latter assurer] Freece that he was seriously considering the question of proselyting by Mormons, and that he would take nelion against it if ho could do so under the existing laws. Freece, It is learned, has enlisted the active cooperation or the archbishop of Canterbury and the bishop of London. In an interview, Freece said thai there were nt Ihe present time 322 Mormon elders In Great Britain who were engaged in persuading women to go to Utah. He added that politics piny a large part in the propaganda. He assorts that women are told thnt they will have votos after they have been five years in Utah. be put on with a brush and then wiped off with clean cloths until the article Is dry and glistens.

A tablcspoonful of salt and ii tablesnaonful of vinegar to two quarts of water is the right proportion. When pres.sin.^ seams on heavy material put tho Iron downheavllj, hold it there a moment, then lift it up ami put it down a little further along. This does not put the seam uut of shajie as running it along does. Stains can he removed from marble with following mixture: A gill of soapsuds I. half a gin of turpentine and as much fuller's earth as will make d paste. Hub on the stains and leave for a few days. A suggestion In whipping cream is to whip it in the uppai- part of a double boiler, with fine Ice or cold water placed in tho lower part. An added advantage of this arrangement Is that the boiler is deeper than a howl, and there Is less spattering. To test butter take a clean piece or white paper, smear a little of the butter on it, roll the paper up and set on fire. It the butter be pure the smell will be rather pleasant, hut If il is made Up whollv or In part of animal fat it will smell like tallow. When the milk supply Is limited Tor any cause, save the water in which the rice is boiled. When Ibis Is allowed to stand until lt is jellied It makes an economical substitute for milk and can be used In all the cream soups, and needs not the thickening wltli butler and flour that milk must have. Before preparing vegetable or fruit that stain the fingers a very good plan Is to previously rub the thumb ami forefinger with a little grease, which will prevent the stains that are so unsightly and difficult to remove. To Insure a good light, lamp wicks must he changed often, ns they soon become clogged and do not permit the freo passage of the oil, Soaking wicks tn vinegar 24 hours before placing them In tiie lamp Insures a clear flame. A bandy adjunct to the medicine chest Is the small silver teaspoon which has a clevely designed handle tn the form of a corkscrew; this makes It quite possible to open a tight fitting" cork when In a hurry without difficulty. "Red" meats are less liable to contamination than fish or chicken. The latter should not be eaten If there Is the least suspicion of odor about them. Beef slightly tainted, though disagreeable, will not produce ptomaine poisoning. A loaf of bread will keep fresh much longer If plnced In a covered stone crock. Wrap In a large cloth to exclude air and keep the crock in a cool place. It Is nicer than a tin vessel and much better than keeping the bread In a refrigerator. Never put bluing In cotton underwear, as it turns It yellow. Soak first in clear, cold water, then rub with soap, roll tightly and let the garment soak for half an hour, rub lightly on board, rinse and hang firmly so the garment sags less in drying. Now that bamboo furniture Is used so universally n suggestion about cleaning it may not go unnoticed. This should be done with soap and warm water, to which salt has been added.

WILL NOT SUBMIT BILL TO VATICAN MADRID, March 26—Premier Cana lejus haa announced In the chamber ol deputies lhat the government's religious associations bill would be introduced In the ohamber within (lie month. The premier declared that he had said previously that the bill would not be Introduced until tho negotiations with the Vatican regarding the application of lhe bill had reached n certain stage. But, he added, the, Vatican in Us last note had refused to resume the negotiations unless the associations bill itself was submitted to the Vatican for examination and formed the subject of an entente between the two parlies. The Spanish government, Cannlejas said, would not consent to make tbe exercise of the national sovereignly dependent on the result of pourparlers within the holy see, and it had replied to the Vatican's note in a manner effectually disposing of the Vatican's pretensions. In concluding his speech, Premier Cannlejas said emphatically: "Whatever the state of the negotiations. I shall Introduce the bill before the month has elapsed." To prevent spotting the clothes, put some bluing out on a piece of white cloth, Katlicr up the corners and tie together. Dip this bag In water and squeeze It until the water Is blue enough.

NELSON'S VISITORS ARE BANQUETTED International Function Saturday Night —City Feasts Demonstration Train Officlala—Mayor in Chair Nelson well maintained Its reputation for right royal hospitality on Saturday night when tbe representatives of the Washington state college and the Great Northern railway, who came to the city on the farming demonstration train, were entertained at an informal banquet and smoking concert at the Strathcona hotel organized during the afternoon by Fred A. Starkey, president of the Associated Boards of Trade of Eastern British Columbia and J. L. Buchan, president of the local board of trade, assisted by a number of other promi nent citizens. Mayor Selous was in the chair and to his right sat Fred A. Starkey, W. E. Scott of Victoria, deputy minister of agriculture, M. S. Middleton, assistant horticulturist for the Nelson district and E. A. Crease white to his left were R. W. Thatcher, director of the Washington state college and J. L. Buchan, president of the board of trade. A novel feature of the function was the presence of a number of ladies, Pullman, Spokane and Nelson all being represented by the fair sex. During the evening excellent music was rendered by the orchestra, and Messrs. Craufurd, Treby-Heale, Godwin, Lupton and Walker gave vocal selections which resulted in great applause and many encores. The light repast put up by the hotel was excellent. Deputy Minister Speaks The mayor proposed the first toast which was to the King and the President of the United States. It was drunk to the singing of "God Save the King" and "America," tbe two national anthems. The chairman then called upon W. E. Scott who proposed the toast of "Our Sister Institute on the Other Side." He described the Farmers' institute and Women's institute movement as two of the most important from nn agricultural and horticultural point of view in the northwest. "What we want," said the speaker, "is a stronger spirit of co-operation. In this way we can learn much from our cousins on the southern side of the boundary line. In Wenatchee and other points ln the northwestern stntes, for instance, the fruitgrowers have perfect co-operative organizations. With better co-operation we could do much in British Columbia that we now find impossible. Tn British Columbia we enn grow better fruit or we believe we can than can he raised to the south, but we must have co-operation. A good start in this direction has already been made In Kootenay and the Okanagan districts but. I appeal to all members of the Farmers' institutes to pull together with the object of co-operation in view." Value of Theory Mr. Scott continued that the department was securing first class lecturers for the season's institute work. The Women's institutes were also doing very good work and he said that the provincial government had shown its interest in the welfare of tiie horticultural development of the province and Ihe Improvement of the conditions of the life of Ihe rancher by paying a groat deal of attention and voting considerable sums of money for the department of agriculture. His chief. Dr. H. E. Young, was himself a practical farmer and certainly hud tbe interests of the Industry at heart. Domestic Science Valuable It. C. Ashley, superintendent of Farmers' institute for the Washington state college replied to the toast. He spoke of ihn bounty of the mountains of British Columbia nnd said that the work of his department, was very similar to that outlined by Mr. Scott. In the United States It was known as the "Country Life" movement and its tendency wns to ameliorate life on farms and tn rural communities. Unfortunately in the state of Washington the government did not afford Hie movement, the same cordial pecuniary sun- port as did tho legislature of British Columbia but be hoped Tor greater financial support in the future. With regard to the Women's institute work lie said that the present demonstration train trip wns the first occasion upon which a domestic science car had been taken on a similar tour. Miss Gertrude Mackay, domestic science demonstrator, also replied to the toast, extending her thanks and stating that In coming to British Columbia she was only visiting her native land. W. B. Farris proposed the toast of the Washington state college and spoke of the value to he derived by farmers from such practical demonstrations as that carried ont by the college and the railway company. He coupled with tho toast the names of Prof. Thatcher, Prof. Morris and Prof. Foster. Prof. Thatcher spoke of tbe growth of the Washington state college and said that on Tuesday next It would attain ita majority. Its fundamental purpose had been to give instruction in agriculture nnd the machlnlcal arts but Its scope had become much broadened. Prof, Morris spoke of the department work of the college and of the problems which bad to be solved In agricul ture in the northwest owing to the fact that the soil was seldom alike in two different places. He emphasized the value of the farmer doing a little theoretical study. W. D. Foster, superintendent of the state college fartn, also replied to the toast, Hopes for Better Treatment J, L. Buchan proposed the toast of the Great Northern railway company. At times, he Bald, the people had many hard things to say of that corporation but he thought that the railway had 2Ai redeemed Itself to a large extent by bringing the demonstration train here. The act went towards covering up itB former sins and he hoped that it was full of good portent for the future. W. A. Ross of Seattle assistant general passenger agent for the railway said that though the demonstration train cost some money the company found tbat such enterprises were a good Investment. F. C. Morgan, superintendent of the Marcus division, and John Maher of Spokane, travelling freight agent, also spoke briefly. Mr. Morgan moved a vote of thanks to the city for the royal manner in which, the Great Northern railway and the college had been entertained. The mayor replied. F. A. Starkey In a short speech regretted that a-larger number of ranchers were not present which he said was largely owing to the boat schedule. Before the close of the function hands were joined and the banqueters, ladles included, sang "Auld Lang Syne." FINANCE MINISTER GUARDED BY POLICE Report That He Was Held up and Searched for Papers Regarding Reciprocity OTTAWA, March 26.—Considerable ex cltement has been caused In tbe capital by the following paragraph whldi appeared In the Ottawa evening Free Press: "A startling rumor wan going around the lobbies of the house of commons laut night to the effect that one night not long ago Hon. Hr. Fielding was held up by a man on Metcalf street, and his pockets gone through, with the object ot discovering certain; papers relating to tbe reciprocity legislation." The report could not he confirmed, but It received a certain amount of corroboration ln the fact that once again there sat In the public gallery, as there has sat for the last five days, plain clothes men of the Dominion police, whose duty lt has been, 'and Is, to see that Mr. Fielding gets home In safety. It may be only a coincidence, but the fact remains tbat the finance minister has his protective guard every night when he leaves the hall for his bouse on Cooper street. Mr. Fielding Is still in Montreal, but members of his family and officials of the finance department say tbe report is not true. It Is stated, however, that Mr. Fielding has received several threatening letters from parties who lost money In the Farmers' bank, and that he Is being guarded by secret service men In plain clothes. MONTREAL CARETAKER IS KILLED BY EXPLOSION MONTREAL, March 26—Edward Alton, caretaker of the Coburg apartments 123 Stanley street, was killed tonight by the explosion of one of the heating furnaces, while the basement and the apartments on the first floor of tho building were wrecked. Alton's skull was badly fractured and he lived only a few minutes after having been removed to the Western hospital. The furnace and connecting pipes were blown to pieces. Alton was the only person In the furnace room at the time, \uien the smoke and steam had cleared away tbe caretaker was found lying on the concrete floor with blood flowing from a deep gash In his skull. He was unconscious. Dr. C. E. Ross, who resided in the building, was the first to reach the furnace room after the explosion and saw at a glance that the victim was fatally injured. An ambulance was called from the Western hospital and the injured man removed there, but he died within a few minutes after entering the emergency ward. Alton came hore from England nine years ago after having served through tbe South African war with the Scots Greys. He was 45 years of age, wns married and leaves a widow and two children, the younger one only a week old. Mlnard's Liniment Relieves Neuralgia.

Cables came lower and even staunch bulls felt that many items in the situation favor lower prices and local May sold down to ; 01%c from the close of 92c yesterday. Trade was moderate, with a fair demand for cash ] wheat from exporters and eastern points for the opening of navigation. , There Is un undercurrent of feeling that I the situation is getting too bearish and that the amount of oversold wheat in the, pit makes it a dangerous proposition to ■ to follow the shorts much further until tho winter wheat crop is assured and seed- : lng Is completed over the spring wheat belt. Oats acted dull early, later closing unchanged. Barley values closed unchanged. Flax dropped in the States and here from 5c to 8c. Minneapolis market opened practically unchanged. The situation ls sharply two- sided. On one side we have the poor flour trade and large stocks of wheat and opposite we have the great need of rain In the principal grain raising sections. Rains promised yesterday did not materialize, but the weather bureau still holds out hope. The weather Is the chief factor now. The man who can guess the weather needs no help guessing the market.

Deceased, .,uvtnh- just finished supper, was in the act of preparing fuse and and eaps for stumping purposes. He evidently liuil taken his pipe for his evening smoke, ami taking the box of detonating caps in ills left hand, while with his right hand picking out of its contents a cap to he attached to the fuse, a spark must have fallen from Ills pipe into tiie contents of the box, causing an explosion of terrific force, completely blowing off Ids left hand, shattering his right, bruising bis head Into a shocking condition, und driving many ot Uie caps through Ids clothing and Into his left side. Death must have been instantaneous as no trace ot life was found after the accident occurred, lt Is thought that some of the caps penetrated his heart.

ATTORNEY GENERAL TO CHAMPION EDMONTON'S CAUSE EDMONTON, Alta., March 26—The attorney general's department has decided to take up the case of Edmonton in the appeal before the supreme court of Canada from the order of the railway commission, given last fall, that reductions be made in the rate of through freight to Edmonton and Regina from the east. The claim of Edmonton nnd Regina was that in rates for hauling freight from the east the railways discriminated against Edmonton and Roglnn in favor of Winnipeg, This the railways admitted, but claimed that the discrimination lu favor of Win nipeg was duo to nn agreement with the Manitoba government dating many years back and that the rates to Edmonton were by themselves perfectly just and fair. However, the railway commission ordered a reduction, from which the railways nsked leave to appeal. The relief has just been granted. In view of the fact that the costs ot appeal will be very heavy and lhat many other towns in Alberta are us interested as Edmonton, lhe Edmonton board of trade has asked the attorney general of Alberta to take up the Edmonton ease. This he has consented to do. We Will Buy 1000 Rambler $ .37 1 S. A.

He says the eyes of all England are on Canada and inquiries concerning prospects in British Columbia met him on every hand during his stay there, as well as on the continent. One of the principal features of immigration from Great Britain this year is that tt is founded on the success of immigrants coming over several years ago whose success has shown the advantages of the step. Mr. Marpole thinks Immigration Superintendent Scott's estimate of 500,000 immigrants this year is not a bit overdrawn, Mr. Marpole will return to Montreal in a few weeks to take up with the management of the [railway the questions in connection with the .extension to Shaughnessy Heights, the residential suburb of Vancouver, which the company is promoting and the season's work on the E. & N. railway across Vancouver isinnd.

Sir Charles claimed that tiie question should be taken up outside political lines. The country should consider the subject not as a mere trade isBue but as to whether it was for the hest Interests of permanent British consolidation on the North American continent. When measured up to this standard he believed negotiations now being considered fell far short of the mark.

GERMANY TO ENTER COAL OIL BUSINESS May Establish an Imperial Department for the Sale of Petroleum BERLIN, March 26—The relchstag continued the debate on the motion submitted yeBterday asking the Imperial chancellor to institute enquiries as to the extent to which the alleged Standard Oil monopoly prevented German middlemen from sharing the profits on oil, and at the same time to consider the feasibility of the establishment of an imperial department for the Bale of petroleum. Herr StreBseman, who introduced the motion, said that it was calculated that by going Into the oil trade as a competitor of the Standard Oil Co. the German government would earn* an income of $7,500,000 a year without raising the price to the consumer. He also declared that every rise of one pfenning (about one-fourth of a cent) In the price of oil meant an Increase In the burden of tbe German people of $2,500,000 a year, all of which, he charged, went to Mr. Rockefeller and his associates. Count Kantlz, the leader of the opposition, addressed the house today on the motion. He accepted lt on behalf of his party. He declared that the German requirements of petroleum could be obtained from Gallclan, Roumanla and Russian sources. He doubted, however; the advisability of discftsslng openly any proposal which was aimed at breaking the monopoly of the Standard Oil company. ■ • BAKER STREET 1NVEST- NENTS 25 feet with frame building bringing in good revenue.
