CLASSIFIED ADS I CENT A WORD VOL.9 IIS STORK OF Manager of Bellevue Mine Gives Evidence HEROIC EFFORTS , TO SAVE MINERS Dragged Dead Men from the Workings-Twelve Hours of Courageous Effort BELLEVUE, via Hillcrest, Alta., Jan. 6—James Cardell was again upon the witness stand this morning and. was examined at length by Mr. Woods, who took him over the ground gone over with Hr. Campbell yesterday. Cardell again explained the finding of the gas in No. 60 chute near the top and close to the roof of the mine. Mr. Woods wanted to know why he had not endeavored" to go further and try to find the extent of the territory covered by the gas, and why he had not tried to get Into the chute lower down. The witness thought that it was the wisest plan to get out of the place as soon as the gas showed such a -cap on the flame in his lamp. His evidence remained practically the same as he gave It before and he was finally let go and Bovl his companion on the trip of Inspection was sworn. He was Instructed by James Anderson to go with Cardell through the old workings on Dec. 7. He did so and his report he gave to Anderson the next day. His recital of how they proceeded through these workings tallied almost exactly with what Cardell told before. They had gone over the rock falls and were able to Bee into No. 60 chute near the fourth crosBOUt where Cardell's lamp Bhowed plainly the presence ot 'gas. The cap indicated considerable gas and they returned to the gangway. After that they went as far as No. 75 chute and found gas near the roof In No. 73. There waB not bo much of a cap here, indicating a less percentage of gas. Some misunderstanding occurred here over the terms Ufled. Mr. Woods was not clear as to how there could be much gas'In a place where the lamp held almost) against the root showed only slight Indications ot Its presence The witness explained that while tbe lamp was held close to the roof, that the pitch of the mine was considerable and the distance to the face might be considerable and the face would be considerably higher than the roof, where the lamp showed the presence of gas and they thought it best to return to a lower level. Bovl said that the air circulation Beomed to be very good throughout that part of the old workings through which they had gone excepting when they neared the upper parts where the gas began to show. Seven Yean In Mine, The witness said that at No. 60 where the gas was first found, the roof must have been from eight to 12 feet above them, while at No. 73 it was quite near. He had worked in the Bellevue mlnea about seven years. He frequently felt gas but not in large quantities and had never reported it to the management He had worked in the Can- more and Taber mines and had seen blow outi at Canmore and Taber but never at Bellevue. His Idea was that gas existed all along between chute 60 and 72 but not having examined except at these two places he could not swear to it and it might be possible that such was not the case. In Mr. Oardell's examination he stated to the Jury that a hole tapping the mine at the top or highest place would release the gas, but in answer to Mr. Woods, he said that this would not do so if the tapping was not at the highest point. He alio said that be could not tell the percentage of gas by the flame of his lamp. These two witnesses took up the morning session and the coroner adjourned the sitting to 1:30. Afternoon Session. Thomas Haines and William Thompson ot Coleman who helped to bring out the bodies ot the three men who were found In chute No. 62, upon whose bcffiies the matches, pipe and tobacco were found, were examined but nothing - new developed. A. P. Purcell, of Blairmore was called but not being In a good condition to give evidence was excused until Monday. Purcell helped to wash the three men spoken of above. John L. Bvergall, was the last witness of the day and told how the last body that of John Dosky waa brought out ot the same chute from whence the three with the matches were found on Monday. Manager's 8tory. The event of the day was the story ot John Powell, manager of the Bellevue mine from Dec. 1 to the time of the explosion or the 0th. He heard of trouble at the mine while at his residence, the house ot the manager, and waa at the mine mouth In a very few minutes, a little a* <». o'clock. He saw Fraser and told b. <fy go - to the fan house and keep it gi *S\ 'king no orders from any one except ' . °\l. Leaving the lamp man at the ^q. -nee he went directly Into the m. \, John Anderson and Frank Lewis wet.c with him. They met three men coming out but did not stop. - They heard men talking in vicinity of No. 45 chute and got them out. Behind the cars near No. 55 they found three more men and found another who was bleeding but left him and kept going on in as there was no after-damp and he thought others further in would be needing help more than these. He found the first indications of gas near No. 61 rock tunnel. When he got as far as No. 76 or No. 77 the afterdamp was' very thick hut by stooping very low and holding his lamp down he could still get along. About this time he found a dead man but they pulled him and another man back to where the air was better near No. 75. Another man was found by his snoring and making a dash they got the man out and Lewie and others got him to safety. A little further along the afterdamp became worse and his lamp went out and he bad to retreat One man died while he was trying to revive him by artificial respiration. Closed Chute. He ordered No. 45 air chute closed and remained at the front until the men he had sent out returned with brattice, and he then began by dividing his men into squads of four, to erect temporary stoppings thus carrying the atr with them as they advanced.

MAYOR REPLIES TO ENGINEER'S LETTER Wilt Make Statement Regarding Power Plant at Public Meeting on Wednesday Evening. To the Editor of The Dally News. Sir,—I propose to make a statement, regarding the charges contained in Mr. C. B. Smithy letter of yesterday at the public meeting in the opera house on Wednesday next. In the meantime I beg to refer you to The Dally News of March 29, 1909, In which appears your report of the previous night's council meeting, explaining fully the letting of the contract for No. 2 unit to the Allis- Chalmers-Bullock Co. and practically answering the main charges contained in Mr. Smith's letter. HAROLD SELOUS, Mayor. Nelson, January 6, 1911. The Extract, The following Is an extract from The Daily News of March 29, 1909: That the courts of civic business like true love, never run smooth, is a theory that received added proof at the city council meeting last evening, when the report of the fire, water and light committee on the letting of the contract for the second unit to the Allls-Chalmers company, and a letter from C. B. Smith, consulting engineer to the city, together with a verbal report of the mayor on an interview with Mr. Smith were laid before' the council. Mr. Smith's letter speaks for Itself and it is understood that his caustic comment on the value of civic day labor Is largely due to annoyance that his estimate of the total cost of the power plant was hot accepted by the council and that it was expected to square with the estimate submitted by him last year. As a result, however, of an interview between Mr. Smith on the one band, and the mayor, with Alderman Hale and City Electrician Brown on the other, the former has contracted his estimate to $78,000, within $3000 of bis written and $13,000 of bis verbal estimate last year. He has further agreed to a reduction by percentage in his fees which will amount to about $750 on the whole job. The report of the fire, water and light committee on the second unit was then read as follows: Gentlemen—Your committee appointed to arrange the details of the letting of the contract for the generator and turbine beg to report as follows: THE EXPENDITUr.^ TO DATE.

W. generator and turbine were Turbine $17,100.00 Generator 14,895.00 And your committee had to consider the following facts: 1. That the letting of the contract to three different firms would probably cause confusion and friction. 2. That the Swedish turbine is provided with steel runners instead of bronze as called for in our specifications and making a difference of $2000. . That the Westinghouse generator, whilst being $150 cheaper than the Allis-Chalmers-Bullock, weighs only E>6,- 000 lbs. against 80,000 lbs. for the Allis- Chalmers-Bullock machine. Under the circumstances and considering the advantages of having the same type of machine already installed such as the Interchangeable of many of the parts and tbe satisfaction giv^n by the original machine, your committee has decided to pay the slightly higher price for the A. C. B, machine and have therefore awarded the contract for the supply of one 1000 K. W. generator and one 1900 h. p. turbine, Installed and complete in the power house to the Allis-ChalmerB-Bullock company for the sum of $31,995, and that an agreement covering the supply (Continued on Page Four.)

VANCOUVER, B. U., Jan. (i—The management of the B. C. Telephone company has announced the details of a broad scheme of extension at various points In the province. The new work will consist of the erection of four new exchange buildings at central points in the province at a total cost of $25,000. Ten Thousand Block Here. Nelson is to have a $10,000 building on Stanley street, opposite the present office, and the other buildings are to be located at Kamloops, Albernl and Duncans. W. H. Jones Owner. The above dispatch is confirmation of a deal which has been In progress for some weeks. The property referred to belonged to W. H. Jones and Is located immediately south of the Hudson Bay company's block at the corner of Baker and Stanley streets. A rooming house, "the old Red House" built in 1892 at present adjoins the lot which has a 30-foot frontage. It was formerly owned by Mayor Selous who sold It some years ago to William Waldle and C. W. Busk who transferred the property to Mr. Jones. The price paid by the B. C, Telephone company may be said to mark an upward movement In real estate values for property off the main street of the city, being $100 per front foot or $3000 for the lot. Tiie deal was pat through by McQuarrie & Robertson who opened negotiations with George H. Halse, secretary of the company, while that official was In the city previous to the holidays. Much Activity in Ranch Land. The feature of the past week's local realty market was the sale of a number of Bmall blocks of fruit lands to settlers In the Columbia river and Slocan valley districts which indicates that the coming season will see an unusually large Influx of newcomers to the fertile lands of the Kootenay. The first week in the new year ls usually considered by real estate men to be too near the holidays for much business in land to be carried on. At the present time, however, fruit lands In all parts of the district are being so eagerly snapped up by ranchers from the prairies, the United States and the old country, that the holiday season seems to have made little or no difference to tbe number of deals put through. There were also several important transfers of city property. The transactions reported were: The B. C. Agencies—Five acres of land at Castlegar to John Folden, a ten and a five-acre tract at the Bame place to William Stanton; forty acres in the Slocan valley from John Smith to W. •Mackay and 2000 acres of Arrow lakes fruit lands to eastern capitalists. The same firm in conjunction with the Western Canada Investment company reported the sale of J. A. Smith's residence on Observatory street to Raphael Marlane. Hugh W. Robertson for McQuarrie & Robertson reported the transfer of P. O. Poulton's residence on Hoover street to W. R. Haldane. E. B.

INQUEST HELD ON LONDON OUTLAWS One Died From Bullet But the Other Was Suffocated—Police Needed for Crowds. . LONDON, Jan. 6—The inquest into the death of the two outlaws who were killed while resisting the police in their home on Tuesday, began today. The testimony showed that the soldiers were summoned by the commissioner of police because the anarchists' revolvers were superior to the weapons of the police, and that less than 50 police participated In the fight, the remainder being required to deal with the crowds. The examination of the surgeon who performed the autopsy developed that one of the men was shot by the police or Boldlers, while the other probably died from suffocation. One of the bodies showed a bullet hole through the skull, the bullet having entered back of the right ear. The surgeon thought that the victim died before the flames reached him. Appearances indicated to the physician that the second anarchist was suffocated. The enquiry was adjourned until Monday.

The new year is starting off very favorably for the Pacific Highway project as within the next 10 days, three important meetings are to he held in behalf of this project The first will be one in Portland, which will be attended by representatives from every county through whioh the road will pass, and the only matters to be taken up wilt be those tn connection with this international highway.

T, Ronald's highway bill, which provides for the construction of the Pacific highway through the state of Washington. The following week a monster good roads convention will be held at Olympia, which will be attended by representatives from all parts of the northwest, Including British Columbia. The Olympia convention is held primarily to show the legislators of the state of Washington that the people want the Pacific highway through the Evergreen state, and are willing to be taxed for its construction. So far there his been absolutely no disposition on any one's part to oppose this measure, and unless the unexpected happens, It will be passed by both houses.

They gave me mustard plasters and other remedies that did no good. Plasters took no effect on me—except to blister me and make raw sores on the place applied to. I took many advertised remedies without benefit, hut, fortunately, about two years ago, I got " Fruit-a-tives'.', and they cured me. Since then I take them occasionally and keep free from pain. I am satisfied "Fruit-a-tives" cured me of Rheumatism, and they will cure anyone who takes them as directed. I can conscientiously recommend them to any Rheumatic sufferer, and hope they will try them. Mr. J. S. Munroeof Monckland Station is where I purchase them, and he recommends them, also.

Mr. McDonald is quite right in saying "Fruit-u-tiveV U a pan icea for Rheumatism. It is more—it is the greatest cure for Rheumatism in the world.

C, Jan. 6—At the Chinese inquiry today, Yip On, former interpreter of the customs department, was faced with a letter addressed to hlra from the Hong Kong firm referring to Chinese immigrants as provincial goods, and stating that Hlng Sam's, Yip On's school name, warning cablegram had been received too late to stop one shipment of immigrants who had been supplied with passports. Yip On promptly repudiated all connection with the letter, and his counsel, S. S. Taylor, entered the discussion. He said the whole series of letters and cablegrams formed part of a plot to deprive his client of his post as interpreter. During tbe remainder of his testimony, Yip On gave as unsatisfactory an impression as on former days, either forgetting, or giving doubtful answers on salient points. He was finally allowed to leave the stand subject to recall. Mr. Justice Murphy said if It was shown Yip On or any other witness was not telling the whole truth, he would promptly commit him for prosecution. This afternoon David Lew, who acted as interpreter during the period of Special Agent Foster's investigation, was on tiie stand. He said about a year ago T. R. E. Mclnnes, an Ottawa barrister, whom he supposed was acting for the department of the Interior, asked for information concerning the administration of tiie custom department here, and he had Informed him. Last August he wrote Chief Controller O'Hara saying, "Mr. 'Mclnnes has already informed you of the graft In this business." Lew said he had no definite proof for his statement, having the word only of Mclnnes with regard to the graft.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION PUBLIC MEETING SPORTING NEWS NELSON JUNIORS JOIN "Y" CLUB Local Hockey Aggregation Hitches up With Local Institution—Should Have Strong Team At a meeting held In the Y.M.C.A. last night the Nelson Junior hockey club decided to affiliate for the present season -with the Y.M.C.A. hockey club. The reason given (or this decision is that "the support of the public in answer to an appeal made by the boys for funds to supply the team with the necessary adjuncts to the game, although very generous, was Insufficient to justify them in proceeding with their original plans of reorganizing a club of their awn. The boys are most enthusiastic about the game and have some classy young players among them and many others who with practice will develop the excellent promise they have shown during the past year or two. In conjunction with the Y.M.C.A. aggregation they should do great things. b They are now busily working in an attempt to get together as strong a bunch of players as possible for an organisation meeting of the allied teams which will be held at the Y.M.C.A, within a few days. 8P0RTING 8POTLIQHTS The Idea of amalgamating the Nelson juniors and the Y.M.€.A. hockey enthusiasts In one club wearing "Y" colors is one that will 'be generally commended. The two teams combined should be able to put a fast seven of young hockey men On the l°o. Castlegar is certainly going ahead at some pace. The latest development at this flourishing little settlement is the establishment of a ladies' gymnasium class by .Mesdames Lawrle and Farmer. It's an Idea that might be adopted to advantage In Nelson. With the splendid Y.M.C.A. gymnasium and swimming tank there Is plenty of opportunity for the stronger sex to (practice physical culture but 'the fair sex have as yet no Institution in the city at which they can enjoy the benefits to be derived from gymnastic exercises.

So I have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, In a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for It. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men and I am convinced It Ib the surest- acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together. I think I owe It to my fellow men to send them a copy in confidence so that any man anywhere who Is weak and discouraged with repeated failures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is the quickest-anting restorative, upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCHING remedy ever devised, and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drr>- me a line like this: Dr. A. E. Robinson, 4659 Luck Building, Detroit, Mich, and I will send you a copy of this splendid reclnie In a plain ordinary envelope free of charge.

When Billy Alien stacks up against Abe Attell on the 23rd of January, at Syracuse, N. Y., he will not knock the champion out, as all of us hope he might do. But he has one great chance of outboxfng the Hebrew and winning a name for himself that will make him famous the country over. Attell has been up against boys to whom he had to concede 20 pounds or more, lads with the wallop of a middleweight, yet he has always outboxed them and thereby gained the decision. The men Attell most fears are the clever boys, and that is one reason he has held the Ottawa boy off for a year. It takes a scientific pug to beat a scientific pug. Billy ls sure to be primed up to his very best, and with youth, stamina, good condition to pit against experience and a desire to travel in high life, Ottawa's best and cleanest little athlete may do what many believe is impossible—beat the champion to It.

Buckingham, president of the British Columbia Dairymen's association, that while British Columbia contains land equal for dairying purposes to that of any part of the world, the province imports annually ten million dollars worth of dairy products, is a striking illustration of the bright future that lies before one of British Columbia's infant industries. With soil and climate admirably adapted for dairying and with an almost insatiable home market It can only he a matter of time before the dairying and allied Industries become one of the most important Interests of the Pacific province. U is not only In British Columbia that the demand for dairy produce is vast and increasing. The neighboring provinces of tbe (prairies offer a convenient, profitable and extensive field for the marketing of dairy products. It was only the other day that Mr. William Whyte, vice-president of the Canadian Pacific railway, drew attention to the fact that over the Hues of his company alone more than twelve million eggs were Imported from the east into Manitoba, and that for the use of the C.P.R. dining cars chickens were being brought from Chicago and cream from other points In the United States. British Columbia is a -province of exceptionally diversified opportunities, it is not upon mining, lumbering, fruit growing or manufacturing that its prosperity will alone depend. Dairying and its kindred pursuits are destined to play a very substantial part in Us progress and development. dltion. Lord Grey's Journey to Hudson's Bay drew world wide attention to the territory traversed and to Its many possibilities.

MAYOR REPLIES TO ENGINEER'S LETTER (Continued from page one. and installation of the machine has been entered into between the respective parties. This is, of course, only a portion of the machinery to be ordered, but it is that portion, which takes the longest time to make, and must he the first to be Installed, and time Is now of the greatest importance. Regarding the balance your committee recommends awaiting the arrival of Mr. Smith, GEO. W. HALE, Chairman. The letter from Cecil B. Smith was read as follows: Dear Sir—Having examined your works today and having discussed vari ous features, financial and technical, with his worship, Mayor Selous, and Messrs. Hale, Brown and yourself, u y comments and recommendations are as follows: 1. Temporarily at least, dispense with the following: (a)—Exciter unit turbine drain, estimated cost ? 3,575.00 (b)—Exciter unit governor, cost .... 500.00 (c)—Additional transformers In sub- station, cost 8,000.00 (d)-Additlonal lightning arrestora 2o0.00 (e)-One gate rigging UW-OO (fj—Mechanical intake and unit .... 300.00 LORD GREY'S PROPOSED TOUR It appears that obstacles have arisen which may prevent the trip which Lord Grey had planned to take to the mouth of the Mackenzie river and thence by way of Bearing straits to Vancouver. As an unwritten law forbids a governor general to return In a private capacity to the scene of his official labors, It Is to be hoped that the hindrances to Lord Grey's 'proposed journey may he removed in time to permit him to make the expedition on which he appears to have set his heart .before his term of office expires. Lord Grey has identified himself with tho spirit and aspirations of Canadians as few occupants of Rideau Hall have succeeded in doing, and it is no exaggeration to say that he has won In a J12.720.00 2.

It should he pointed out however, that the superintendent's aouse is not an Hem properly chargeable, and that the substation expenditure was not Included In the original estimate. If these two items are deducted the balance Is $78,275. It Is fairly evident, however, that several thousand dollars has been wasted on power plant construction, '.here being no evidence of $11,175 having been valuated by work done or materials on hand. This result can be expected, however, from high priced ami usually Inefficient corporation '.lay labor. The council having seen fit to place the contract for unit No. 2 with the Allis-Qhalmers-Bullock Co., we will use our best endeavors to have a satisfactory factory output and at least within contract time.

FAST HOCKEY ON THAWING SHEET Nelson Seniors Had Good Work Out Game Last Night—Some Promising Recruits The Nelson senior hockey team and a number of recruits from 'the intermediates and the juniors held their first serious practice game of the season at the rink last night. The Ice was somewhat on the mushy side but the game was a comparatively fast one and gave the players an opportunity of extending themselves and trying their wind after the long interval of Inactivity, as far as hockey ls concerned, since the end of last season. For the first 30 minutes there were ahout 20 players on the ice and a general work out was indulged in. Interesting Game The second 30 minutes was given up to a game .between a senior team and a ptckup.team consisting largely of recruits who were, however, aided by one or two of the older players. The score was 7-1 la favor of the seniors. Promising New Recruits On the senior forward line were Harry Bishop in centre, Archie Bishop, who made his first appearance with a hockey stick this winter, as rover and Steel and Balmer as right and left wings. Lined up against them the opposition had Nancarrow, a new recruit who displayed most promising form In the centre, R. Bell as rover, Johnnie Ferguson, right wing and Waldo Ferguson, left wing. Both the Fergusons are recruits from the juniors and made a ■most satisfactory showing. ThoM Defending The bulwarks of the seniors were manned by Boyce, a junior. In goal, Perrier at point, and Lester Patrick at cover, while the junior team had Eddie Bishop In goal, Joe Thompson, ■ the grand old war horse, at point and J. Bell holding down cover, Among those out for the practice before the game were Scotity McDonnell, the two Grant boys and Jack Miller. The next practice will be held on Monday if the ice will permit.

Lester Patrick, manager of the rink, announced last night that arrangements had been definitely concluded whereby the band would play on-Tuesday and Friday evenings from now until tiie end of the season whenever weather per mils skating.

C.-With Liverpool cables unresponsive to yesterday's advance on a morning market, and with light receipts, the markets opened unchanged to %o lower for Minneapolis July, with Liverpool olosing at %d higher, the hears appeared to take courage, but were unable to force the market down much, and upon covering of shorts toward the close this was easily regained, and a substantial advance made. The public continue to take an Interest In tbe market, but tiie majority of the buying appears to be done by large commission firms, and from general observation it looks aw If tbe runks of tbe bulls were continuing to swell. Reports of winter killing In Kansas and Oklahoma are coming to the aid of tiie nulls, which, combined with small receipts, will no doubt have a slight effect. News from Minneapolis was rather slim on account of the lire Which put some of tbe lines out of business. Demand fur cash wheat was fair, and particularly No, i Northern, but receipts were light, and only one house reported live or f\x loads of NOB. i and fi having been worked for export. Tiie advance at tbe close on the local market was frjrc to %c for May. and lc for July, while in Chicago May was the only month to show considerable strength, advancing 1ft to l%c, and July ftc, while December declined ftc. Minneapolis was decidedly the weaker of the three, closing with an advance of only %0 fur both May and July.

Copper $6.75 McQuarrie & Robertson Brokers 419 Ward St. Nelson, B.C. was sluggish. Activity in Canadian Pacific and allied issues at advancing prices was conspicuous, but transactions in those stocks failed to stimulate any demand elsewhere. Sentiment among the traders was rather mixed, but committments for the long account clearly out-balanced those of tbe decline just now. There has been moderate accumulation of stocks by investors, and a continuance in demand for bonds. Tiie London market was somewhat depressed, because of rising discounts, and further gold exports, $600,000 being withdrawn today for shipment to some undisclosed point on tbe continent Such strength as American securities displayed In Lon- day was largely due to support from this centre. Sales of stocks here for British account were under a,000, chiefly United States Steel. Yesterday's adverse showing of tiie Bank of England, according to opinion here, is likely to defer any reduction in Its discount indefinitely. The closing of two banking Institutions at remote points, Fairbanks. Alaska, and Tampa. Florida, was not accepted as symptomatic of existing banking conditions, which, according to all official and all other accounts, are In the way of steady improvement. Announcement that the Harrlman system had closed an order for 109 locomotives at a cost of approximately $4,000,000, that the Pennsylvania railway has Invited bids for 10,000 freight cars, was regarded as the possible precursor of a general buying movement by the larger transportation companies, and exercised some effect on the equipment status. The most prominent feature of the bond market was the strength of American tobacco issues. Total sales, par value, $4,028,000. METAL MARKETS.

Rising discount rates and continued gold exports had a rather depressing effect on the stock market, and caused realizing and lower prices In most sections. Canadian Pacific, Mexican Ralls, and Diamond shares were the only firm Issues. American securities opened about unchanged, and during the forenoon advanced on fair buying. Light Wall street support maintained the gains In Ibe late trading, and the market olosed steady. Remember Prince Rupert Sale Do you want another chance?

C, Jan. 6—The first carload of machinery for Crowston & Sons' sawmill arrived today, this to be followed by several more in a short time. Mr. Crowston has secured t large amount of land adjoining hii Home ranch, and for a time employed a number of men logging, etc., but the present soft weather has stopped all bush work, Edgewood Lumber company's mill is now in full swing and in addition to nearly 100 men employed around the mill, a large number of men under the foremanship of Marvin McDanlels are getting logs out from off the bench land behind Robson. The tug Yale Ib also running between this mill and Deer Park, handling logs and helps to keep the mill busy. A ladies' gymnasium class has been started by Mesdames Lawrie and Farmer.

Durrant, Church of England denomination, has been appointed to look after the spiritual welfare of those members of that church between Taghum and Castlegar. Mr. Durrant held his first service in this place of worship on Sunday last and was greeted by a fairly large congregation, considering the Inclement weather. It is Mr. Durrani's intention to try and hold a regular Sunday service here, also a Sunday school service for the young folks.

On account of the very mild weather, Santa Claus did not reach Castlegar until Monday last, but better late than never. He certainly made up for his failure to arrive on time and was fairly loaded down with presents for both young and old. At 5.30 o'clock a splendid tea was served to the youngsters by iMesdames Lawrie, Farmer and King, which tha children thoroughly enjoyed. After the tea was over, a telegram was received saying Santa Claus would arrive about 7 o'clock and he was right on time and said he enjoyed his reception from the children. He distributed bis presents, and then had each child recite or sing some little piece, and a dialogue was performed, in which all the pupils took part and performed very creditably. Great credit is due their teacher for the pains she must have taken, to have made such a success of the latter. At tho close of the entertainment a vote of thanks was passed, thanking the ladies for their kindness, also Master P. S. Farmer who looked after the decorations, etc. The Castlegar hotel, under the management of W.
