Martin Burrell, minister of agriculture tonight gave out to the press the first official statement of the result of the census taking which is now practically complete. The figures show a population of 7,081,869 for Canada, as compared with 5,371,319 In 1901, an increase of 1,710,554. It was estimated that the population of Canada would be about 8,000,000 so that the figures will cause not a little disappointment to the people of the Dominion. As compared with the Increase of population in the 1891-1901 decade the figures are satisfactory. In the ten years preceding 1901 Canada's population Increased by only 538,076. As compared with this betterment the increase of 1,710,554 in the past ten years is large but it Is not nearly so satisfactory as was expected. British Columbia Doubled Of the provinces Alberta showed the largest ratio of increase having jumped in population from 37,022 to 372,919 in the decade. Saskatchewan comes second with an increase during the ten years of from 91,279 to 453,508. The province of Quebec shows an increase in population of 351,799 while Ontario has increased by 336,955. British Columbia Increased by 184,109 and Mont- toba by 149,480.. The provinces down by the sea have all fallen away in population. Nova Scotia shows a decline of 2,273, New Brunswick of 20,- 795 and Prince Edward Island of 10,- 537. Vancouver Hundred Thousand Montreal shows the largest Increase In population of any city in the Dominion and continues to maintain its position aB the most metropolitan centre. The total population of the city Is 460,- 197, as against 267,730 ten years ago, an increase of 198,407. Including West- mount, Mnlsonnouve and Verdon, Mon- , treal has a population of 510,811 or a comfortable margin over the hnlf million mark. Toronto is In second place growing from 208,048 to 370,240, an Increase of 168,200. Vancouver jumped from 27,010 to 100,333 and Winnipeg from 42,34/) to 135,430. The population of Halifax is 48,032, an increase of 5,249 in the decade. Twelve Members for B, C. The unit of representation, which is arrived at by dividing the population of Quebec Into 65 parts, the representation of Quebec being definitely fixed by the British North America act, is 30,780. On this basis the representation of British Columbia In the house of commons will increase from seven to twelve members; Alberta from seven to twelve; Saskatchewan from 10 to 15; Manitoba from 10 to 15. On the other hand the representation of Ontario will decrease from 86 to 82; New Brunswick from 13 to 11; Nova Scotia from 18 to 16 and Prince Edward Island from four to three. ■The next parliament willl contain 232 members, an lncrense of 11 as compared with the present house. That the census is not complete Is shown by tho following letter which was today addressed by A. Blue, chief census commissioner, to Hon. Martin Burrell, minister of agriculture: "Replying to ■ your enquiry of this date, I bog to say that the censtiB of Canada recently takon shows a population of about 7,100,000 which will be slightly Increased when the full returns have been received. Four elec- (oral districts have not yet made complete returns, viz., Cumberland, in Nova Scotia, Regina nnd Battletord in Saskatchewan, and Yale-Cariboo In British Columbia, which are estimated to give a population of 70,000. The population of the cities and towns reported t0 you may be changed slightly on revision, but I think it may be accepted as correct. We have tested it by two independent compilations."

VANCOUVER, Oct. 17.—While attempting to evade arrest on a charge of theft, a man named C. II. Webb was shot and Instantly killed in a lane back of 134 Hastings street, east, shortly before midnight, by Detective A. M. Campbell, of the local force. Detective Campbell, who has heen searching for the alleged thief for some days, finally located Webb last night in a billiard parlor. When In the open AVebb broke away from Camnhell and ran down the lane. Twice Campbell drew his revolver and fired at tbe ground, hoping that Webb would stop at the shot. Webb, however, paid no attention, ;but Increased his speed. At last Campbell, seeing that his man was making goon liis escape, fired a third shot, aiming this time at Weeb's knees. Under the excitement of the moment, the shot went high, and throwing up his arms the escaping prisoner sank to the ground. Campbell ran up at once to discover in a hurried examination that the shot bad struck Webb on the left side, close to the region of the heart, and that the wound was likely to prove fatal. He immediately sent for a doctor, but the nfisdllrected bullet had done its work too well and Webb expired within a few minutes. Later in the day detectives entered Wehh's room tn a rooming bouse on Pender street west, nnd from what was found there is seems that Campbell's suspicions of the man had substantial foundations. In the room were found five coats which were stolon last Sunday night from the vestibule of Christ church while the service wns in progress. Other articles were also found in the room, hut they have not been identified and ft. is not known whether they were stolen or not.

It Is understood that the government has no intention of ndopting the Rpoils system, but that if changes aro made it will bo among those who have been particularly pnrtlsnn In elections. The only people affected so far In tho service at Ottawa are certain private secretaries, who retain their clerkships but lose 1600 of allowance." PLEA TO GUILTY Thomas Farrington Convicted on Lesser Count • KOREANS REVOLT. • o NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—A • special cable from St. Peters- • burg says that news received • from Mukden says a rebellion • has broken out in Korea, and • several thousand natives have • risen and declared war on tho • Japanese. HOFFMAN IS ALSO CONVICTED Sentence Is Suspended Threatening Letter Case in N, R. Walkius, directly court opened pleaded guilty to sending threatening letters to A. Posey of Coal Creek before any evidence was taken, and was released on his own recognizances of $1,000 to appear for sentence when called upon; John Hoffman was found guilty ol having stolen property in his possession at New Michel, and Thomas Farrington of 9-Mile point was found guilty of having an offensive weapon In his possession for purposes dangerous to tho peace at yesterday's sessions of the assizes. Sentence upon Hoffman and Farrington was deferred until this morning. Fred C .Moffatt represented tho crown. The sudden ending of the Watkins case caused a sensation in court, it having been expected that the trial would last the greater part of the day and it being known that the defence which was conducted by A. M. Johnson would make a vigorous light against the admission as evidence of some letters alleged to have been written by Watkins and against the competency of the prisoner's wife as a witness for the crown. Identifies Stolen Goods The indictment against Hoffman contained two counts. He was charged with stealing four furs from George H. Marlett of Hosmer and also with being in possession of these stolen articles. Mr. Marlett said that the four furs produced had been stolen from his store on Sept. 17. A few days later he went to New Michel and' saw the furs at a hotel at that place. H. E, Anderton recognized the prisoner as a man he saw In the Great Northern hotel at New Michel. Wlt- nes nt that time held the position of provincial constable and later arrested prisoner on a vagrancy charge In consequence of information from a woman. It was while Hoffman was being held on this charge that the furs were found. Prisoner Gave Him Furs Herbert McDonald, bartender at the hotel, said that about'8:30 on the morning of Sept. 18 the prisoner left in his care a parcel. When it wo opened later the four furs were dii covered. The parcel was handed over to the police. Nellie Uahpma and Ulla vvneeier said that Hoffman had tried to sell them five furs on Sept, 18. Hotrman lakes atand Going into the witness stand Hoffman said that an unknown man had given him a watch which he had tried to peddle. This same man had said something about furs. He declared that he had never given the bartender any parcel. He might have mentioned fur to the women. Hoffman was not represented and Mr. Moffatt for the crown did not address the jury. In his charge to the jury his lordship said that this was clearly enough n case where the goods had been proved to have been stolen and if the jury decided that they were shortly afterwards in the possession of the accused 'hey were justified in expecting the prisoner to give a reasonable account is to how he obtained iheni. If they .'bought he had not given a satismc- ory account they would be quite justified In finding him guilty of theft. The jury brought a verdict against the prisoner on the second count, that of having stolen goods in his possession at the same time knowing them to be stolen. The jury In this case was as follows: .T. M. Ludwlg, Lome Stewart, Alex. Cheyne, G. G. McLaren. G. W. Hale, L. H. Poole. William Batchelor, W. H. Houston, Alfred Bunker, L. K. Larson, John Cooper and Thomas Brown foreman. Dispute Over Hroperty Line In the Farrington cuse the first witness called by the crown was C. W. Husk who described the location of a fence and Its variation from the true line between the two ranches of Farrington and Bourke at H-MIle point. Roland W. Bourke snid that on April 25 Farrington pulled up a stake which had been placed on Farrlngtons' land by a surveyor (o murk the true line. Witness had then told prisoner that if ho would leave the stake in Its position he would permit the fence to remain where It was; it was a few feet on witness' land. The stake wns pulled up again. A short time later witness went to Farrlngtons' house but found that he was out. He talked to Mrs. Farring ton for about 30 minutes and tried to persuade her to make her husband leave the surveyor's posts alone. On Farrlngton's return he ordered witness out of the house and then followed him with a shot gun. There was some trouble a few days later regarding the dynamiting of some stumps on witness' land. Later Farrington was kicked off witness' land by some clearing contractors, at his, witness' Instructions. Story of Shooting Ou May 10 Mr. Bourke with George Kerr replaced one of the pickets which had heen taken out. Farrington came out of his house with a shotgun and fired at witness, than walking towards him, reloading the gun. The prisoner, said Mr. Bourke, stood on guard apparently ready to fire again. The distance would be about 50 or 75 feet. George Kerr was in Manila, Phillipine islands, Farrington had told Kerr after the shooting that he would shoot at anyone who came over the fence. R. K. Scarlett, C.P.R. ticket agent, said that be sold Mr. Kerr a ticket to .Manila on Aug. 4. J. D. Wightman, provincial constable said that he got the gun about a week ago from Farrington. He hnd asked tiie prisoner for the gun with which he had shot at Bourke. Heard Shots Strike W. H. Bullock-Webster, stipendiary magistrate, who presided at the preliminary hearing, identified tiie deposition produced as being a copy of the evidence given by Mr, Kerr in the police; court. The depositions were' read.! Kerr stated that the muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at himself and Bourke when Farrington fired. The shots struck a little to the right and j a little above where they were stand-] ing. After they had gone over the fence io Bourke's laud Mrs. Farrington came along with an axe and threatened to lay out. Bourke. Mr. Farris did not call any witnesses for Ihe defence. Addressing the jury Mr. Moffatt said that It was proved beyond any question that Farrington had shot, at the two men. The two striking facts were that; the pmoner had deliberately gone; back and obtained a gun and that he j had aftei wai ds m'nde the statement regarding shooting anyone who wenl i on to his ranch. For tbe defence Mr. Farrls contend-1 ed that there was no evidence to show j that Farrington had shot at Bourke. He might have been shooting al a gopher or anything else. The fact that the two men had stood and waited for Farrington to reach them showed he contended, that they were not afraid that he; wished to shoot, them. , Charges Jury His lordship commended counsel for the crown and for the defense for not \ having dragged the case on to any great length. The issue, he told the jury, was between society nnd the prisoner and not between Bourke and Far- j rlngton. On their own heads and on j the heads of those among whom they lived would fall the burden of a wrong; verdict. "If a wrong verdict is given j It is right here in your own country that tbe chickens will come home to roost," he declared. The jury bad nothing to do with the merits of the (lis-, pute. It was absolutely wrong for peo-: pie to take the law In a dispute of this kind into their own hands. A man! was presumed to know the conse-1 quences of his own acts nnd the ordinary presuration was thnt if a man shot at anyone he Intended the shot to take effect. Tiie jury found Farrington guilty on | the lesser count of carrying a dangerous weapon,. The following formed the jury: G. S. Rees, William Baker, G. G. McLaren. C. A, Larson, Frank Brown. George Horstead, H, E. Douglas, fore-; man, L. H. Poole, Alex. Cheyne, T. A. Lawson, G. W. Steele, and D. O.! Thomas.

Anstle Makes Statement at Calgary Regarding Rumored Combination—What Was Done. W. A. Anstle, secretary of tbe Mountain Lumber Manufacturers' association, in a statement made at Calgary denies that a centralization of the selling departments of the coast and mountain mills has heen decided upon, or that any exploitation of the consumer is projected. He says, after commenting upon \\o. 'published reports of the meeting last week. "It is absolutely ridiculous to say thai there is contemplates, or that any central form of control is practicable or possible, which would permit of the undue exchange of prices for lumber and explication of the consumers. I maintain, and am prepared to prove, if necessary, that there is more competition in the sale of lumber and also that It is generally nold by the manufactures on the narrowest margin of profit of any natural produce marketed in this country. "Now with regard to the report that a centralization of the entire selling departments of all the coasl and mountain mills had been decided on, I must emphatically deny that any such aciion was either contemplated or taken. The facts are that a number of the mountain mills, whose geo- graphical location and the nature of whose product would permit of their jointly marketing their lumber to better advantage through one organization than individually are considering the advisability of amalgamating for '■ this purpose. TI113 matter has not] been definitely settled as yet, but In | view- of the economy which could be secured, I am In hopes that it may he successfully consummated before the first of the year. ' The production of the mills affected does not represent 20 per cent of the source of supply of lumber for the prairie provinces, and in no sense could such a course be termed a comhina'.Ion in restrain of trade. "I think some reference was made to the number of traveling salesmen whose services would be dispensed villi, the report staling that 200 would be eliminated. If this plan should he adopted the selling force would not be reduced by more than 25. "With regard to American competition, It is quite true that the British Columbia manufacturers are concerned and justly so. For the past, two years the lumber manufacturers of the western states, whose home market has heen In a most deplorable condition, have heen dimming their surplus product, principally the lower grades, which are unprotected, In the Canadian prairie provinces. The United States ls closed to Canadian manufacturers by a protective tariff on all grades of lumber, and it is unfair that we should be at the mercy of their dumping tactics without having the right to retaliate.

METHODIST FICTIONISTS MAKE HEROES BEADLES OR CURATES Dr. Workman on Methodist Literature at Toronto Conference—Should be Exponent of Scripture TORONTO, Oct. 17.—The Ecunemi- cal conference yesterday afternoon discussed the Important topic of "Methodist Literature." Rev. H. B. Workman sent a paper which was read in his absence. Dr. Workman is one of the finest scholars in England. His topic was "the future of Methodist literature," He urged the need of producing a better class of books for boys. Methodism did not figure in novels, he said. Even when Methodists wrote novels, they made their heroes curates or beadles. If novels were nil distroyed Methodism would, thereby, lose very little sympathy. He pleaded for greater elasticity in publishing literature. Rev. George Elliott D, L>., of Michigan, said that the press needed to catch again Hie prophetic note and should be an exponent of the scripture. Rev. Thomas Griffith, of England, said lie had been almost a fanatical advocate of spreading Methodist literature widely. The publishing house was an absolute necessity. He deprecated t.ie indiTference of ministers to the sale of religious literature. Every circuit should have'a literature committee. One pastor said the questionable bonks of wild west stories Found In public libraries, did a great deal of harm. Tbe editor,of the Christaln Quarterly paid a tribute to the reporters as always being anxious to get good copy and trive it wide prominence. I A Treat! So Sweet!

When the grand jury yesterday morning presented recommendations for the construction of a new provincial jail, for a government-built hospital and for a bridge across the Kootenay river near Nelson, Mr. Justice Clement urged the jurors not to let their work end with the mere presentment of the suggestions. They should devote their own best efforts, and enlist the efforts of their friends and of "The great fourth estate" in furthering the Improvements mentioned. The presentment was signed by A. S. Horswill, foreman, and was as follows: "We wish lo congratulate your lordship on the absence of crime in this district, particularly at this session. "In the exercise of our duty we have visited the provincial jail and find the plnce In a thoroughly clean and sanitary condition. This reflects credit on the officials in charge. We find there have been over 80 confined therein nt one time. We would strongly recommend that tbe government replace the present wooden structure with a modern fireproof building at the earliest opportunity afforded, the jail to be at some place where 40 or 50 acres of bind could surround the said building. The produce from the land would make the Institution nearly self sustaining, it would provide at the same time healthy work for the large number of inmates. "The people of Nelson have and arc responding generously towards the support of the general hospital. This institution we find absolutely inadequate for the proper care of the ever Increasing patients taken there for treatment "We would urge upon the government to erect and equip a building fit to accommodate the suffering of this huge district. "Whereas the government has In its wisdom built roads from Balfour aud other points to connect with the city of Nelson; wo would urge upon the government the great and urgent necessity of a bridge at some point near Xelson for the benefit of the city and convenience of the settlers on the north side of the lake. These people cannot come lo Nelson at times for necessary provisions or for inedHcal aid on account of thin ice in winter." WORK ON N. T. R.

Prices declined sharply in the morning for no better reason than what ".-a:; construed as indications that the department of justice was about to make a further move against large -orp-jra ions, but In the afternoon the market recovered. Stocks wore sold at the opening on (he report that the federal authorities were soon to take action against the United States Steel corporation, ns well because of tbe attitude of the government officials toward (he American Tobacco plan of re-organization. There was no basis for the report that dissolution was to be filed at once against the steel corporation, hut Belling of the steel stock exerted a de- nresslng effect on the whole industrial list. Denial of the steel story helped the recovery, which set in before noon. Union Pacific made a gain early of nearly a point. Bonds were lower in tiie forenoon, but turned upward sharply when the tone of the stock market improved. Total sales par value $2,- 850,000. United States bonds unchanged on call. ROSEBERY DOES NOT ENDORSE CARNEGIE LIBRARY PLATITUDES GLASGOW, Oct. 17.—Lord Rosehery opened the new Mitchell library here today. The library cost $500,000 and will accommodate 400,000 volumes. In his address Lord Rosehery said tho subject of libraries had been exhausted by the 2,200 platitudes, spoken at the 1,200 libraries opened- by Andrew Carnegie. His lordship said he was not disposed to consider to give libraries an unqualified benefaction. An enormous .collection like that of the Welsh hall library had a stupfylng and paralyzing effect rather than an encouraging effect. Lord Roaebery said It was futile to provide librarys until there was a proper descrlmtnatlon In the selection of the works. NAVAL DESIGNER HERE. WINNIPEG, Man., Oct. 17.—Sir William H.

My legs and lower part of my body were fearfully swollen, and the pain was awful. My people thought sometimes I was dead, as I would faint from the agony. Five different doctors attended me, and all said it was kidney trouble and gave me no hope of getting well. A kind neighbor told me to try " Fruit-a-tives'' and mentioned the case of Mrs. Fenwick, who was cured by them. I took "Fruit-a-tives"—and in a short time, I began to feci better, the swelling went down, the pain was easier, ana then "Fruit-a-tives" entirely cured me.

The White Elephants achieved this feat on their rivals' own grounds, rolling the great Mathewson, who had puzzled them into the loss of one world's series, and also had started bravely in an utternpt to make history repeat itself. Three times In 1905 and once In this year Philadelphia had fallen victim to Mathew- son's wizardry. Today the team broke through his guard and fell upon him so heavily in the latter part of the tense struggle that the great uoxman and his motes were swept off their feet. Backed up by the splendid work of Jack Coombs, the Kennebunk "Iron Man," who pitched one of the greatest games of his career, and held New York runless from the third Inning almost to the game's end, the American leaguers pounded their way to victory. They tied the score when Baker, their brilliant third baseman, who won yesterday's game with a homerun, picked oivt 'ond ofl 'Mathewson/s .benders and drove it Into the fur reaches of the right field stand for a homerun in the ninth. They won out In the eleventh on three safe hits, helped out by the New Yorlc- ers' errors. New York did not give up without a struggle, and a hard one. A double followed by an error gave them a run in the last half of the eleventh, but there wee two out when the run came over, and It VJ* Philadelphia's game, when a moment later the only occupant of the buses was one on an attempted steal to seen d Nc t'lime played here within memory has piovkiid sc much excitement. There again wore nesrly 10,000 persons on hand. The National commission gave out the °r_ ficial attendance figures at 87;216 and Inning after Inning the throng wns brought to its feet by sensational fielding plays. Enthusiast outbursts* seemert almoin evenly divided. When New York forged ahead in the third tho echoes were awakened by n big uproar. But when Baker in the ninth prevented what, until then, h»d looked like a sure defeat for his ... _n, by his homer, the din was deafening. The uproar was renewed when the Phiht.MpMuns took their winning lend In tiie eleventh. Now York fans stood loyally hy their team up to the last, however, and never gave up hope until Lapp's throw to Collins got Becker for the last out. Jack Coombs, hero of last year's world's series, earned further laurels by nllowlng the New Yorkers only three hits. Two of these came In tho third pinning, resulting in a- run* aiijfi then Coombs whs unsolvablc until tiie eleventh, when Herzog* fent a rattling double to the left field fence. In seven Innings the home tonni went out in order. Coombs struck out seven men, Snodgrass fanning twice. Herzog, Devore, Doyle, Meyers and Mathewson once. New York— A.B. R. H. P.O. A. E.

METHODISTS PASS RESOLUTION AGAINST NE TEMERE TORONTO, Oct. 17— The following resolution on the Ne Temere decree was passed by the conference "This congress at Toronto, representing the interests of world-wide Methodism enters its emphatic protest against the "Ne Temere" decree, Issued by the church of Rome. While holding that fullest religious liberty should be according to men of all creeds, the conference repudiates the idea that any church decree should have the power to over-ride the law, and especially on such a subject as that of marriage, on which the welfare of any community depends. The conference Is further of the opinion that the promulgation of the Ne Temere decree is an outrage upon the elementary rights of citizenship, and therefore calls upon the members of the various Methodist churches represented in this ecumenical conference :o take every step to prevent the proclamation and acceptance of this decree in the countries from whence they came. The conference Is strongly of the opinion that the marriage ceremony performed by any person properly authorized to do so hy the state, should be valid, irrespective of the religious affinities of the parties concerned." This was passed by an unanimous standing vote. Tho first Monday of February, 15)12, Is the day on which it is recommended that the Ecumenical message he read in Methodist pulpits nil over the world. The conference also made a pronouncement upon the subject of dlvprce3, deprecating and condemning easy and unjustifiable ways of breaking tho marriage bonds, COMPANY BUYS LINE OF ONE STEAMER ONLY VANCOUVER, B.

You have the proof direct from the C.P.R. officially. A Pointer for You. This is not a prediction, but a bald statement of facts. None of the C. P.R. officials have borght any property north of the location for the shops. There's a Reason, and the fact that the men who should know have bought south and southeast of the shops location where our lots are situated is the strongest kind of backing possible for our advice to you.. Another Point Worth Remembering. If you have ever been in any city where large shops o. big manufacturing plants are located, you will find that after the first excitement has died down the property adjoining the big industries has always depreciated in value, principally on account of the smoke and dirt from the plants. It is the property that lies within a reasonable distance from the industries that in the end commands the big prices and the staple prices, and we predict that C. N. R. Division Lots Will in the near future command the big prices, as this will in our opinion be, and not far hence, The Heart of a Great Industrial City THIS IS THE DISTRICT WHERE BIG CAR SHOPS WILL BE BUILT. mi ■ ■ ■■■■■■- ■■■■•.

Cut it out, paste it in your hat if you like, but Remember There Are Just 50 Lots to Be Sold at These Prices and owing to the rapid advance in values, our price goes up this week. Do you fully realize the tremendous increase in values the big manufacturing plants, car shops and new railroads now coming into S. E. Calgary will mean to our lots?

Published at Nelson Every Morning Except Sunday, by The News Publishing Company, Limited W. G. FOSTER, Editor and Manager. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18 CENSUS IS DISAPPOINTING The preliminary census returns published in today's issue of The Daily News will prove a keen disappointment throughout Canada. People bad come to expect a population of eight millions or close thereto, but the returns show only slightly over seven millions. Belated returns will increase this figure but the result will still fall far short of expectations. It may be that people have been over sanguine but the result also serves to lend weight to the many complaints of carelessness In making the count which have come to hand from all parts of the Dominion. The people of Nelson have double cause for disappointment. They will share th© feeling of the people of Canada as a whole over the general result and in addition find that, according to the returns, their city not only has not made any gain In population but has suffered a loss in numbers of close upon SOO people. There can be only one of two explanations of this. Jflither the returns of ten years ago , were shamefully padded or the work this time was done in a grossly care- loss and inefficient maimer. Xo one who knows anything of Xelson now and ten years ago would attempt to gainsay the fact that there are more Baltimore, lid., Nov. U, 190:1.

Ward St. Nelson, B.C. Phone 68 people living here at the present time than there were then. This Is patent to all. There are more houses and places of residence now than there were then and all are occupied, there are more men employed in the various fines of industry and trade in the city with the single exception of Bmeltlng, but what has been lost there has much more than been gained in other lines. The growth in the school population is another, and a convincing proof of a greater population in Nelson now than ten years ago. The average attendance at the schools has doubled In the decade. It is impossible to see how this can be unless there are more families in Nelson lo send children to school. Of course, it should be remembered that the figures given out are supposed to include only the people actually within the city limits and does not take into account people living in different suburbs and working in and doing business in Nelson. The population of these suburbs which have made great progress within the past ten years, when added to that of Nelson proper will make a very creditable showing. But even with this fact in mind The Daily News believes, and it thinks most people will agree with it in the matter, that the comparison between this year's census figures and that of ten years ago is grossly unfair to the city and its progress in that time. In view of - the circumstances it might not be out of place to suggest that tho publicity board, the board of trade and the city council take up the matter of checking up tiie city's population to see whether or not some serious omissions have not occurred in the compilation of the figures for this city. crease of any province in the Dominion. The showing of Nova Scotia and consermently of the Maritime provinces will also be improved when the full returns are to hand. In point of proportion of increase Alberta now holdB the lead with a gain of 417 per cent over ten years ago, followed by Saskatchewan with 396 per cent. Final figures may change this order. British Columbia is third in the proportion of increase, with 103 per cent which will be increased. Manitoba comes fourth with 78 per cent. The proportion of the other provinces in order is: Quebec 21 per cent; Ontario, 15 per cent; New Brunswick, 6 per cent; Nova Scotia % per cent. Prince Edward Island shows a decline of 9 per cent. One thing made abundantly clear by these figures is the wonderful advancement of weBtern Canada in the past ten years. But even this progress Is only the ^forerunner of greater things to come. Western Canada, and Canada as a whole, should make even greater progress in the next ten years than she has in the past, This Date in History. David Greenshaw Barrow, chancellor ol the University of Georgia, was horn in Oglethorpe county, Georgia, on this dale in 1852, and received liis education at the university of Georgia. In 1S78, four years after his graduation, he was appointed an Instructor in the departments of mathematics and civil engineering in the university, and the following year he became professor of civil engineering. In 1S92 he was appointed professor of mathematics and served in that capacity until his election as chancellor in 19011. The administration of Chancellor Barrow has been one of splendid success for the university. The attendance has increased 5tl per cent ami under liis direction tiie college of agriculture and tiie summer school of the university have been developel to a high vorslty have been developed to a high \ ELOQUENT OF COUNTRY'S PRO GRESS While the census figures are not as large as people expected they would be, and as many think they should be, at the same time they furnish a striking evidence of the wonderful progress which Canada has made in ihe past ten years. The increase In population since 1901 amounts to almost exactly thirty per cent. Of the total increase of 1,710,554, it is interesting to note, that the four western provinces, British Columbia, A lberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba jointly contributed 1,046,- 017, while Ontario's jncrease was 336,- 955 and Quebec stands with 351,779 additional to her credit. The Maritime provinces are ibe only portion of the Dominion which do not appear to be keeping pace with the rest in Canada's forward march. The total increase for the three, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, is only 13,431, of which Nova Scotia contributed 2,273, and New Brunswick 20,895, while there is a decrease of 9,537 Bhown by Prince Edward Island. Of the four western provinces Saskatchewan heads the list with an increase of 362,229, while Alberta conies next with 299,897, followed hy .Manitoba with 199,480 gain. British Columbia is not far behind with 184,111 lo her credit. It is only fair to Bay that the figures of British Columbia are not complete and the same applies to Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia. These belated returns may place British Columbia ahead of Manitoba in point of increase. Even without the additional figures which nre to come Saskatchewan holds the honor of showing the largest In- SIMPLE LIFE FOR DRUNKARDS "I Suffered Intense Pains in My Left Side."

New York Inebriety Board Believes in Sympathetic Kindness—Father Vaughn Shocks Suffragettes. NEW YORK, Oct. IG,—According lo statistics gathered hy the National Highways Protective society 43 persons were killed and U34 seriously injured by accidents due to "vehicular' traffic" in the streets of New York city during the month of September. Twenty of those killed were children under IG years of ape. Eleven persons were killed by automobiles, 14 by trolley cars and the rest by vehicles. Automobiles injured 107, trolloys G7, and wagons GO. The city of New York has an official body known by the name of Inebriety hoard, appointed under a law passed by the legislature in 1910, to deal with the subject of inebriety in this city. When the hoard was first appointed n great deal of fun was made over its peculiar name and over the duties which U was supposed to have. The members of tho board, all worthy gentlemen, who take themselves as members of that board seriously, have held many meetings and have discussed the problem of inebriety with profound learning and philanthropic enthusiasm but on embarasslng hick of practical knowledge based upon experience. In keeping with the modern tendency to treat r!1 individuals with abnormal cravings, be it liquor, other people's property or something else, with sympatic kindness, the Inebriety hoard has come to tho conclusion that habitual drunkards could he cured and reclaimed if they were placed in pleasant surroundings and exposed to the sedative effects: of farm life. Police Commissioner Rhinelander Waldo is so much interested In the work and the plans of the hoard thai he has offered to donate to the Inebriety board a fine farm of 80 acres near Flushing. L. I., upon which the board may establish an experimental colony of drunkardB. Father Vaughn, the famous Jesuit priest, for many years connected with religous and social reform movements In England arrived here the other day from England, to study social conditions in this country, it so hapnened that quite a number of enthusiastic women's suffrage advocates crossed the the ocean on the same steamer on which Father Vaughn sailed Tor New York. To keep in practice during the voyage the suffragisls arranged a meeting en board ship, and Father Vaughn was requested to occupy the platform. lie listened to a number of rabid suffrage speeches and finally the ladies urged him also to deliver an address. The feelings of the suffragistB may be easier imagined than described when Father Vaughn told them In so many words that his Idea of the Ideal woman was not one who marched to the polls, but one who took care of the home and reared her children properly. After that Father Vaughn was not persona grata with the,suffragists.

Queer Stories Come From Paris— Ladies See Long Dead Woman In Trianon Garden. The French are a brilliant, gifted and Imaginative race, and this may or may not account for the fact that many have received with something like a shock the news from Versailles that the gentle ghost of Marie Antoinette again walks the Trianon and in the Forest of Versailles, This is a different from any other ghost story in the world by reapon of the romantic personality of the ghost, the delicious world-famed spot it haunts, and the character and number of those who have seen the phenomena —kings, statesmen, foreign tourists, gardeners, children and millionaires, Parisian hurgeois and tough Paris apaches. The manifestation of the ghost is held to persage some great national change or disaster—the more memorable past visitations being just before the fall of the, great Napolean in 1815. with tiie irrevocable ruin of the third Napolean. The omen is now given a mysterious association with probable war with Germany. All the phenomena surrounding the manifestation are unique. All Versailles knows what happens when the queen walks the park around the Trianon itself fn some way assuming a ghostly appearance. The historic pleasure ground molts hack and seems lo assume 'he guise it wore In the years preceding 1703, when the queen went to the guillotine. Old inhabitants of Versailles town stroll in the shade—and suddenly discover plain everyday life to have vanished* while they wander in a dreamy world that frightens while it charms them. In 1869 Frenchmen laughed at these notents. Those who listened and believed, went io war with Prussia discouraged In advance. Today Paris is stirred by tiie mystery of the Trianon chiefly because two English ladies wrote down minutely what they saw and printed it. Communicated to Theodore de Wyzewa by Andrew Lang, who knows the ladies, a hundred dream-like details are, for the first time, proved to conform to the Trianon of Oct. 5, 178il all the more marvellous becnuse unexpected and unsolicited in two un- specialized English ladies.

Box 192 —a cart which actually did si a ml there during the whole reign of Louis XVI. and passed vaguely for having diverted the pastoral soul of the unfortunate monarch." Rut many an old Versailles family has its history of happenings today as extraordinary as those of the Misses .Morrison and Damont on that August afternoon, who'll, ignorant, of Frencn history and their surroundings they sought tiie lilt'e. Trianon by way of a plan in their guide book. Passing :i large pond, they turned to the right, perceived an edific which they supposed to lie the ("rand Trianon, and continued. From this moment their adventures began. "Chatting of things and friends at home we followed the path, hut the presence of certain obstructions yn the edge of the path forced us to turn to the right," says Miss Morrison. "Two men stood in tiie middle of three diverging paths, and we asked them our way. They seemed to be imposing tunc- tionaries, wearing long grey-green mantles, with little tricorner hats. In reply they told us to go straight ahead. We continued rapidly, chatting again but from that instant an extraordinary depression came over mo "It became painful when we arrived at a path at right angles. Before us was wood In which rose a light, round garden kiosk, and near It a man in a long mantel and broad brlmed hat was seated, but I should add that already everything around us had taken in my eyes a singular appearance. "Tiie trees around ihe kiosk, in particular, seemed to be without relief or life. There was no effect of light and shade, not a breath of air in tlie leaves. and they looked flat, like a wood embroidered in tapestry. The color of the seated man was dark and his expression repugnant. I was glad to hear a rapid step behind us, but when T turned there was nobody. "At this moment another man seemed to come out of a stone wail at the junction of the roads. Tie was evidently a gentleman. A dark mantel covered him like a shawl thrown over one shoulder, and lie cried: "Ladies, ladies you must not go that way,' agitating his arms and saying things we could not understand. I distinguished only the word 'house.' Looking back from the direction he indicated, we saw that he had disappeared, "in silence we passed over a little rustic bridge across a tiny ravine quite near us the waters of a little cascade fell on a green lawn where fern grew among stones. Beyond, we followed n narrow prairie bordered by rows of trees, which prevented us seeing the 'house* until we were close; and beside ft, in the grass, a lady was seated reading. "She lifted her head to look at us. Her face was no longer young, and though not unpleaslng did not attract me. She wore a large white hat on a head of thick blonde hair, puffed around the forehead. Her light summer gown was covered over the shoulders by a curious fischu. I supposed her to be a foreign tourist; but the singularity of her dress nstonished me, though I had for a long time been under the impression of living as in n dream." The two English ladles finally got to the Little Trianon, where they visited In company with a lower middle-class Parisian wedding party. Afterward they went back in nn open cab to the Hotel Reservoirs and returned to Paris and England. Others including the daughter or an American millionaire, claim to nave seen those strange sights, particularly emphnsing the apparition of a trnmp lady, which would appear and disappear, but who seemed so real that the children would go u to her. During the last hours of Marie Antoinette on earth she looked more like Eagle Block Meagher & Co.

JJeto*, WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 18 OCTOBER 7, 1909 The citizens of Nelson decided by an overwhelming majority in favor of Nelson Street Railway Bylaw No. 204. They wanted street cars operating in the city of Nelson. Today It would be regarded as nothing''short of a calamity if the street cars stopped running. What would it mean to you; to the property owner on the outskirts of the city, a decrease in value of 25 to 50 per cent, less rental revenue; to the inside property owner a decrease of 25 per cent; to the business man stagnation; to the.citizens who are proud of our city and cars, the mortification of having to acknowledge that the people of our city were not progressive enough or hao not faith in our city to do their share of financing the Nelson street railway which will do more to develop and advertise the city of Nelson as a progressive city than any other form of advertising you could possibly do. CITIZENS OF NELSON It Is up to you. We have installed the system and have demonstrated that cars can be operated successfully in Nelson.. The patronage shows the people want street cars. Every dollar received has been spent for equipment and construction.. Your cars are equal to any on the continent. The track is in excellent shape. Cars are running strictly to schedule, operated at the least possible cost; you are well satisfied with the service and want it to continue. THEN IT IS UP TO YOU We must have more equipment. We need a rotary snow sweeper to keep the tracks open In the winter season. By settling the balance due on the motor generator we can reduce our operating costs $174 per month. Don't procrastinate. Decide today how much It Is worth to you to have street cars running in Nelson. Absolutely Certain. Building Now Calgary and Chestermere Street Railway Will Be Completed to and Through Highgate by July 1st, 1912. This Road Runs Through Highgate. (Calgary Herald, Oct. 10, 1911) CONDUCTORS ON INTER-URBAN CARS Legislative Committee Will Make Recommendations as to Chestermere Line RUNNING RIGHTS NOT TO BE GIVEN Passengers to Pay Nickel for City Part of the Trip The general manager and several of the directors of the Chestermere Lake Suburban railway company conferred with the city legislative committee at the city hall yesterday afternoon, respecting the suggestion of the company that they be given running rights in the city limits.. It is. the intention of the company to run 10 cars in May, June, July, August and September of each year till the traffic demands more. The company estimated that It would earn $150 a day within the city limits, all of which amount would go to the city if it were given running rights within the city. F. F. Ryan, solicitor and J. A. McCollough, general manager of the company, addressed the committee. A line connecting with the company's line from Chestermere lake to the eastern boundary of the city will have to be built from the loop on 17th avenue east. The distance is about three-quarters of a mile and the Chester- mere company agrees to bear the expense. The committee will recommend to the council that an agreement be entered into with the Chester- mere company which will give the company the right to connect with the Calgary cars or else will give the city the right to place conductors on the Chestermere cars from the point at which the Chestermere line will enter the city on 17th avenue east, to the junction with the city street nil- way loop. Under no consideration will the Chestermere company or any other company be allowed running rights within the city limits. A new fare will be demanded from the passengers when they enter the city and they will be charged a fare by the city also, for passengers from the city to the boundary. These fares will go to the city treasury without the Chestermere company getting any benefit from them. Mr. McCollough on behalf of the company expressed his con- .sent to the legislative committee's decision. Remember, $25 Remember $25 starts you, the balance in monthly payments of $10.

WHEAT HITS YEAR'S HIGH MARK AT CHICAGO CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Wheat today closed at the highest price readied so far on this year's crop. The development of a. milling call for soft winter grades proved mure than an offset for all bearish news. ■The latest figures were '.i'^'/io lo Tat: high' er than last night. The decided improve' mem in the tone of the wheat market did not appear until after the session had come nearly to an end. On the bulge a considerable amount of good investment buying was done, but the majority of purchasers were uneasy shorts who covered on a large scale open trades in the December option. Heavy resting orders to sell at the advance toiled to stop the flurry, and there was some talk that the December future was 'congested if not practically at the mercy of the bull leaders. Earlier in the day depression had heen the rule, because of favorable weather in all directions und owing to a, big Increase in the world's available supply. Nevertheless the weakness altogether dlsap' peared afterwards and the close was un- mlstakably strong. LONDON MARKET WEAK LONDON, Oct. 17.—Money was in good supply and discount rates were steady today. The stock market failed to maintain yesterday's strength. Realizing, owing to the lack of improvement in the Turko-Itallan situation and profit taking, caused a general set-back from consols to kafflrs. Chinese bonds were exceptions to the weakness and they closed higher. American securities opened (|uiet and steady. A fractional advance followed, but eased off under realizing, before noon.

The play given last night was "The Blue Mouse," full of amusing Incidents and with just enough pint to be decidedly interesting. As nt the first performance, the play la^t night ran satisfactorily throughout and tbe Interest of the audience was well maintained from start to finish. Miss Prlngle Is undoubtedly a clever anil finished actress and she was gowned mosl artistically and becomingly in the various scenes of tiie play last night.

The success of Lillian Nordica, greatest of -American singers, is a tribute to the amMt'L.n and struggles of two wompn—the s'tnjer and her mother. The youngest of six daughters of Edwin Norton, Lillian was horn in Farm- i-vgiiin. Maine, in a family where music w.is the atmosphere of the home. Her father was a violinist and her mother a singer with an unusually sweet, rljeh voice. Mrs. N' rton's ambitions chafed a1, the linu I Miens of village life; she wanted liondc-r opportunities for the development of i ti children, so when Lillian was i; the family made Its gladsome ex ulna "I'.'in Maine to Boston, the .Mecca of her dreams. The Future r'Nnu donna early revealed tbe promise of her wonderful voice, and the mother U the transplanted family laid aside mut!e.v from her boarding house for the muslenl Instruction of her daughter. From ii to 15 Lillian studied at the Boston conservatory with Professor John O'Neill, who condensed the five years' course into three. When her Interest flagged In the slightest she was stimulated to now energy by her mother, who learned her daughter's parts in order to teach her, worked untiringly and saved loyally for the new goal of instruction. Lillian wns growing in power and courage. She was making $1,000 a year' as a church singer, hut singing In church did not satisfy her high ideals. She audaciously besieged Tletiens In her dressing room and by her beauty, her grace and her persistence, forced the great singer to listen to her rendering of Leonora's aria lu "II Travatore." Tletjens was charmeii, nobly captivated and became he'' friend, She advised her to so to New York to study with Maretzek. The devoted mother was equal to this new emergency and she met tbe occasion with her customary high finance; saved, borrowed and otherwise secured enough mony for a two years' stay In the metropolis, where she watched tenderly over her beloved daughter. On completing the two years, when funds were ebbing and hopes flowing, Patrick Oil more heard the singer and engaged her for 100 concerts in Europe. Then came her debut at tho Trocadero in Paris, followed by a term at Milan, where San Giovanni, the groat teacher and nn enthusiastic admirer of the singer, re- chrlstened her "Gigllo Nordica," tiie Lily of the North. At Breaola, where her success was ovewlielming, her mother fainted through joy at hearing unending plaudits of the enthusiastic audience. HENRY SADLER DEAO.
