With the exception of some delay in the delivery of steel everything has gone ahead Without a 'hitch since the construction of the bridge commenced last fall, and it will be -completed in good time, before the High Water cdri interfere. Two of the three main spans are already In position. Riveting on the one leading from the north, shore will be completed today, when the false work which has supported It up to the -present will be removed and used in the erection of tho third main span, that connecting with the south shore. The contractors hope to have this span In position by ithe coming Saturday night, and judging by their record for expedition this will easily be accomplished. Hy the same time it Is expected the riveting on the centre span will be finished, bo that this work can then be commenced upon the last span and another week should see It through. In addition to the three main spans, v/hlch are of truss design, there are two shout Bpans to be placed In connection with the approach to the bridge from the south side. These, however, can be placed no matter what the condition of thr water may be. At present the contractors are exerting all their energies on the three main, spans so that -these may be completed before any material rise in the -water takes placo. An example of the' expeditious manner in which the work has been carried on is, afforded by the fact that a car of material for the centre main span arrived on the ground on Wednesday last and hy Friday evening the whole span was in position. Bridge Is Handsome Structure. With the three main spans in position ahd riveted in two weeks' time there is, In the minds of the contractors, no doubt of their ability to have all other work in connection with their contract completed °y May 1 and the bridge ready for traffic on that date. Sbme road work will he necessary to connect the, existing roads with the bridge on both tho north and south sides, but the amount In each case is comparatively small and should not take long once men are put to work on It. From tho two main spans already in position it can be seen that the whole bridge when complete will be an extremely handsome structure and * otio thnt should serve Its purpose for many long years to come. One feature of the brldgo which may be of some' interest ls Its height above the water. Ithas boon so built that oven should the water again rise as high as in 1894, the record year, the bridge ■would not be in any way affected; It ls intended as a permanent structure ond toward making It such every possible precaution lias been taken. li Provincial Product, Costing In the neighhorho<] ot $100,- 000, the bridge/which will be finished well within contract time, is almost entirely a product of British Columbia, Cement manufactured, at Princeton, Steel fabricated' at. Vancouver, paint made at Victoria and lumber grown In this province are the materials used, remarked .1. P. Hodgson of the contracting flrm.on his arrival at the Hume last night on returning from a visit to Vancouver. Of'the total cost about $35,000 has heen expended on labor. While the cylinders were being lowered between 80 and 90 men were employed. The number at present on the job la.between 60 and 70, said Mr,, Hodgson.

METZ, Germany, March 22.—Lieut, von Lavellette Saint George, of tho 98th German infantry, was today sentenced to 30 months' imprisonment In a fortress on a chargo of kHling Lieut, Haage, his comrade, in a duel on Feb. 28. He was alEo dismissed from the army. The court found that the prisoner by his conduct had provoked the duel and had gravely wronged tho honor of Lieut. Haage. The severe setjtence Imposed on Lieut, von Lavullette Saint George Is the first really severe blow delivered against dueling among army officers. Tho court, by its judgment, has virtually given notice that officers who wrong the family honor of fellow officers are not to be treated as gentlemen, and the fact that they vanquish their opponents will not rehabilitate their own honor. . The sentence is In lino with the remarks made in the Imperial] parliament on March 13 by L'Iout.-Gcn. Erich von Faikenhaync, minister of war, who admitted that dueling was an offence under the laws bbth of .God nnd man, and was an evidence of physical rather than of moral courage. If the precedent established today Is followed, courts.of honor hereafter in cases similar to thp present one, will forbid duelling on the ground that the offender Is not fit to meet an honorable officer ln tbe field.' f CLEAN UP NEEDED AT CITY HALL •Many New Candidates for Montreal Civic Elections—Twelve Aldermen and Three Controllers Retiring. (Bv Daily News Lenapd Wire) MONTREAL; March 22.—Tho old- time politicians In Montreal are all guessing at what will be the result of the civic elections on April 6. Probably never before have so many representatives dropped out or so many would-.be representatives try to get in at the same time. Disgust at the low level of municipal politics Is said to be the main -excuse for the droppers out and the abolition of the property qualification the chief reason for the abundance of office seekers. These conditions and the stigma of the Burns-Beck relatrons of the supposed widespread graft make the outcome doubtful. Two Issues, one touching the water situation, the other being an extensive probe into civic deals, have also ■helped create in the public mind a strong desire for a cleanup at the city hall. For the mayoralty, G. W. Stephens, former chairman of the harbor board, late started in the field, will have a hard fight to beat Aid. Mcpeth, who in spite ot the 130 malversations named in the Judge Cannon graft report, has a big French following and is being backed by Sir Rodolphe Forget, M.P. Three controllers—C. H. Godfrey, Dr. Chappelle and J. N. Dupuis—arc dropping out. The citizens' lassocia- tlon, besides endorsing Major Stephens for mayor, favors the re-election of Controller Joseph Ainey, with candidates Duncan McDwrfald, A. V. Roy and Aid Timai'd. There are at least four aspirants for controllers. Twelve or so of the present aldermen ai*e retiring, and it looks as if between 30 and 40 candidates will compete for 30 seats. The thirty-first, filled hy Aid. L. A. Lapointe, leader of the council, is the only one likely to be filled by acclamation. CLERGYMAN LEADS -SUFFRAGETTE ARMY Unable to Obtain Admission to Westminster Abbey—Open Air Service Is Seld. (Bv Dally News Leased Wire) LONDON, March 22.—Sylvia Pankhurst, carried on a stretcher and surrounded bf 1,000 members of her east end People's army, attempted to attend this evening's services in Westminster nhbey. She was unable to gain admission, however, as every seat In th.e edifice had been taken in view of the fact that she had announced her Intention last Sunday to be present tonight. The militant suffragette and her followers, however, held an open air meeting in the court In the rear of the abbey. The vanguard of the east end contingent was led'by a Church of England clergyman, rector of a church in the Treadwell district. Clothed in full vestments, he opened the street meeting with prayer and after the singing of "Onward, Christian Soldiers" by the members of the "army," preached a short sermon. Miss Pankhurst then delivered an address, in which she exhorted her followers to make England a real Christian country, so that Westminster abbey would become a place for the poor as well as for the rich. After the meeting she was removed from the scene ih an ambulance, attended by a nurse. Rev. Mr. Willis had almost perfect control over the "army" during the open air meeting. The demonstration was remarkable for the small number of police present. Only occasionally were the speakers cheered, and calls for "social evolution."

(By Daily News Leased Wire.* OTTAWA, -March 22.—The state department -has .issued public notice through the Canada Gazette arid through despatches to various provincial governments, that marriages between women of British nationality, professing the Christian religion, and Moslems, Hindus and others belonging to countries where polygamy or concubinage is legal, should not be allowed, unlesB these women are first warned that such marriages may be repudiated by the husbands if they roturn to the country of their birth. The influx of Hindus in British Columbia, with the exclusion of their womankind, is the basis for this action. -' A circular states that while the register of marriages has no power, according to British law, to prevent such marriages, care, should be taken to make the position clear to every woman contemplating such union. It is pointed out that while the marriage would be valid as long as the husband rcntiilned in Canada, it would not necessarily he void if he returned to India, the Hindu may, if he desires, take other wives In addition to the first, without consulting his Christian wife in any way. The forms observed at a marriage under English law are not necessarily recognized by Mohammedan law as giving any legal effect or validity to the marriage relationship nnd afford no protection to the wile in a country where Mohammedan lav.' is observed. Where a marriage relationship Is constituted which the Mohammedan law will recognize, a Mohammedan husband may divorce his wife at will without any legal formality beyond that of repudiating her.

NOT FRIGHTENED BY LIBEL SUIT Montreal City Clerk Says Trap Has Caught People Who. Made Graft Disclosures. (By Dally News Leased Wire.) MONTREAL, March 22.—A suit has been entered In the superior court at ■the Instance of Jules Cropeau, second assistant city clerk of Montreal, who claims $25,000 for libel against L.

It will hold them tight. Look out for next week; you are going to see some fun." "I am completely satisfied with this turn of events, and am only too Will- in*; to go before a court of laW with the evidence which I possess," said Kdward Beck tonight. "Orepe&u's talk and that of some of the aldermen reminds nie forcibly of the way Mousseau and others spoke when we first mado our charges regarding graft at Quebec. Such talk will not, however, deter me from continuing to impart to the public information the public has a right to have. "When we were before the committee of inquiry at Quebec, information we had gathered was cut out on one technicality or another. If I am per- ranted, to make known all I know concerning conditions at Quebec and the city hall l think I can safely say that the public will be put into possession of some interesting information." 'Mr. Beck added that lie had not yet been served with the writ, which Is ha\d to have been issued against himself, D. Lonio McGibbon and L. J. Tarte, on behalf of .lules Crepeau, the accused civic official. POKER GAME ENDS IN SHOOTING Told Wife He Was Going for Bath- Played Hoker for Twenty- Seven Hours. (By Dully News Leased Wire.)

King's Appeal Rejected The Associated Press was shown tonight a letter which the provisional authorities have received from an officer at the Curragh, stating that more than 100 officers had resigned, Including all the cavalry officers. Gen. Sir Arthur Paget, commanding '-he troops in Ireland, had them brought before him and told them, according to the letter, that ho had "an express order and request from the King himself to ask every officer to go us ordered, that they might never bo called upon to fight, and 'that if thoy refused to go thero might be a mutiny in the army, which would mean a revolution In England, and In six months there would be no king and no army," Despite this appeal, all tho officers refus ed to reconsider their resignation.

When he declined tho offer, the war office Informed him that .the refusal meant the severance of his connection with the army. Ho persisted, and thc authorities offered thc post to another officer, said to be Gen. Friend, now commanding at Belfast, who accepted. Mutiny Report Denied A denial was issued today of the reported mutiny of tho Dorsetshire regiment. Frequent reports have been current of late of the strong sympathy of the Dorsetshire men with the Uls- tcrltes, owing to their extended stay in garrison here. The same partisanship has been ascribed to the Norfolks, causing the authorities keen anxiety. Tho officers of theso regiments were asked today if they would remain loyal to the King, and it is understood that they agreed to stand fast, aii- though the men are much discontented at their continued confinement in barracks, and tho cancellation of all sporting events. In addition, they have expressed resentment at thc organized attacks upon the army by the Nationalists, whoso causo they might havo to defend. Taking Ranges Thero lias been no diminuation in tho activity of the Ulster army. Today the officers of the so-called headquarters staff on duty at Craigavon, now the centre of the Ulster movement, were busy taking the ranges of the various hills and other strategic points of Belfast Lough, which the estate overlooks. They used a range- finder of the latest pattern. Uniforms for Volunteers The drab-colored field uniforms of the special service corps of 4,000 men, which has been especially organized, chiefly of old soldiers and sharpshooters, will be distributed tomorrow.

Soldiers Go to Church Ulster awaits with curiosity the next movement of the war office and other authorities, perilling which the situation remains unchanged. Absolute order prevails in the city. Eighty special service "minute men" on duty at Craigavon, marched to the Presbyterian church at Belmont early this morning, taking their hospital corps and ambulance men, even the surgeons, but leaving SO men behind to guard tho rifles and patrol the estate, while tho others prayed in tlie pews behind Sir Edward Carson and other leaders. Sir Edward said tonight, that he had received some letters of sympathy and encouragement from tho United States. Replying to tho statement that the troops' movements wore purely precautionary in character and in consequence of tho discovery of an Ulster plot to raid tho\iUitary depots, be siuld: "There never was the least Intention to take any provocative or aggressive action, nor will any be taken, although I cannot say what might happen had the government been foolish enough to bo tho aggressors themselves." No Disturbance. (By Daily News Leased Wire) LONDON, March 22.—The dreaded Sunday passed without the slightest disturbance of order in Belfast or tn Ulster. The crisis is fully Indicated, however, by the fnct that the King canceled his intended week-end visit to the Earl and Countess of Derby at Liverpool, The King has thrown his influence earnestly on the side of conciliation and seems to have made a personal appeal to the officers who had decided to resign rather than face the posal- bUUy of being called upon to fight in tJIster, and It may be taken for granted^ that the King is equally exerting hie influence with his ministers in thA same conciliatory direction. Proofs are not wanting of the desire on both sides that everything possible should be done to avoid any chance of conflict. The Nationalists have abandoned their proposed parade nt-I^ndondeiry and,-Sir Edward Car son, the Ulster Unionist leader, cbn- tinues to voice his -desire to do his utmost to avoid provocative acts. Premier Confers With King. The government announces that all intended moves of troops have been completed, but this may be a decision necessitated by threatened resignations of officers. Apparently no ftfP ther actual resignations have been offered. Numerous questions on this ana cognate matters are to bo aBked in parliament tomorrow and should bring forth reliable Information on what at present is a somewhat obscure subject, owing to the heat of party feeling. As the result of the meeting of party leaders Andrew Bonar Law will move the adjournment of the house with a view to securing a discussion bf the whole matter. The prime minister conferred for an hour with the King today and tlie utmoBt activity prevails In all government quarters. Among the political leaders tonight, however ,the situation is considered more favorable. The King and Queen canceled their proposed visits to the races on Thursday and to the Grand National race on Friday. Fund for Officers. (Western Associated Press Special Cable) LONDON, March 23.—Sir Marcus Samuel telegraphs to the Times from Biarritz, offering $50,000 to start a fnud for tho relief of tho resigned officers, .providing the Unionists immediately announce their intention to restore their commissions on their advent to power. While the Nows, (Liberal) still sneeringly discounts the Ulster movement, the Unionist journals compete in publishing sensation upon sensation. They assert that the war office will, be deluged with the resignations of officers today until unless the cavalry of- ftcers at the Curragh arc Immediately reinstated. Lord Charles' Promise. Lord Charles Beresford writes to thc press practically urging officers of both the navy and army lo resign, Lord Charles promising that the future Unionist ijyvernment will accord* reinstatement to them all. The Liberal, journals welcome the defections of the officers ahd suggest their replacement in the ranks, believing the Curragh affair offers an opportunity for a thorough democratizing of the officering of the army. The London Daily Mail says that eight destroyers left Netley on Saturday morning under sealed orders but returned this morning, the orders having been canceled because the officers believed the movement would be provocative, Military Caste. Tlio Chronicle (Liberal) commeutlng upon tiie resignations of army officers, says: "For the first time in modern history a military cabal seeks to dictate to the government what bills ft should or should not carry. The government must not flinch. We a,re confronted with a desperate rally of the reactionaries to defeat the democratic cause, for tlija move of a few aristocratic officers is the last desperate throw. "Liberalism cannot brook the dictation of a military caste." Defence, Not Defiance (By Daily News Leased Wire,)' AfUIAGI-I, Ireland, March 22.—Seven hundred Ulster volunteers attended a church parade at the cathedral bere this afternoon. The Union Jack flow from the tower. Boforo pronouncing the Benediction, the lord primate of Ireland exhorted the volunteers to bear themselves quietly and not by word or deed provoke or annoy thoso who differed from them, oven though these men wished to throw Ireland back Into 'the Slough of Despond. Their motto should be "defence," not "defiance." They should bear themselves in quietness and render unwavering obedience and sacrifice of time and strength, even lifo itself, if need be, to justify their existence ih this "solemn crisis of the nation." Salutes Returned Tho military service in the parish church today for thc regulars stationed here was also attended by 300 Ulster volunteers. At the close of the service, all joined heartily in singing the National Anthem. Afterward tho volunteers were drawn up outside the church and saluted the regulars, who returned flio sailuto as they marched to barracks. King Changes Plans^.

LONDON, Marcli 22.—An official issued tonight a statement which says that all the proposed movements of troops In Ulster have now been carried out. "These movements," hc says, "were of a purely precautionary kind, with the object of giving adequate protection to the depots of arms, ammunition and stores, and other government property against possible risks. There has not. been, and is not now any intention t0 move troops into Ulster, except for these and like purposes." Conference With King. The conference between Kin*--* George Premier Asqulth an'd the other ministers with reference to the Ulster situation, continued ail day. Right Hon. Winston Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, twice visited the prime minister during the morning, and Right Hon. Augustine Birrell, chief secretary for Ireland, likewise conferred with Mr. Asqulth. Col. Seely, secretary of-state for war, hud a long audience witli the King, while Premier Asqulth and Field Marshal Sir John French, chief of staff, later in the day spent an hour at Buckingham palace, after the prime minister had been vis-* ited by the Archbishop of Canterbury, head of the English church. Situation Easier. In a general way the situation t>>- day seemed somewhat easier, the public being Jncllned to await with salience the" expected statement i'i the house of commons tomorrow regarding the movement of troops in Ulster and the resignations of officers. Naval Officers Also. Lord Charles Beresford, a strong advocate of the Ulster cause, 'n a letter to the press, says: "I know for a fact that many nava.1 officers. Including those of high rank and some of the best men we possess, will resign their commissions if ordered tu take part in the coercion of Ulster, or even if the army alone is utilized for that purpose." Lord Charles says the argument that the officers who refuse to coerce VlSter, might refuse toj quell riots does not hold good. Speaking at a national demonstration at Glasgow today. Joseph Devlin, M. P. for Belfast, said that the Irish party had never asked for an army in Ulster. If the government felt it its duty to see to It that law and order were preserved in the face of threat*-" the responsibility was with the government. Excitement in Belfast, (Ily Daily News Leased Wire) BELFAST, Ireland, March 22.—Details of the disagreement among the troops at Curragh, which were published fully in the evening papers here yesterday, created demonstrations of excitement. Belfast is wearing an absolutely normal aspect, save the Saturday shopping crowds were increased. Council of War, A council of war was held yesterday afternoon ut Craigavon, between Sir Edward Carson and Ulster Unlonitjt leader, Sir George 'Richardson, commander-in-chief of the Ulster troops, and forty others, comprising the regimental commanders of the forces, at which mobilization details were perfected. The headquarters at Craigavon are maintaining constant communication with two mobilization centres by Mobile de-snatches, Both Will Fail. Sir Edward Carson' made a statement to the Associated Press after tbe conference, regarding tlie military situation. He said: "The government is endeavoring to cow Ulster bv Intimidation, and provocation, but both will fail." Special Constables Sworn, A despatch from Dublin announces the swearing in of special agents for Ulster, This and the removal of de ta>chments of special constables from Dublin to Belfast are regarded here as an attempt to incite riots, as it is understood no constables would accept such a mission unless Nationalists. All troops in Belfast were confined t0 barracks today, causing great discontent among the men. Thirty-five hundred volunteers, comprising six balalllons of the -North Belfast regiment, spent Kootenay and Boundary the afternoon In drilling and maneuvering* on the estate of Lord Shaftesbury, which is called Belfast castle. The Marquis of Londonderry said this evening that he thought the wholesale resignations of the officers was the first instance of the kind in the British army since the crisis preceding the war of the American colonies. Railway Notified. (By Daily News Leased Wire) LONDON, March 22. — The Northwestern railway received notice from the war department today to have equipment to move troops up to 10,000 on short notice. Hope for Settlement. (Western Associated Press Special Cable) LONDON. Maxell 22.—Experienced and moderate observers are hesitating to dissect the Ulster situation. Like the less partisan newspapers, they an- pear convinced that a settlement is bound to come. Sunday was a day of marked uctH*- ity in official circles. The ex-premier and Gen. Sir John French, the chief of the Imperial general staff, had a simultaneous audience with the King and subsequently Col. Seely, secretury of war, had an audience with his majesty, later calling Lord Roberts into consultation. The King, who wus engaged to stay wltb the Earl of Derby, at Knowsley hall, near Liverpool, all this week, announces a curtailment of lib visit in order that he "may be In elos. communication with the ministers a the present tme." Their majesties will return to London on Thursda-, morning, thus miss ing the opportunity of seeing the race fur the Granj National. Those \ understand the great attachment the Kin-,' t0 horse-rae in**- consHcr this of great significance. The King's action, coupled with the remarkable activity of the ministers and the.war office, suggests that behind the scenes events '!n Ulster are regarded as belli** more grave than a perusal of newspaper despatches would indicate. Belfast and Londonderry reported all quiet over thc week-end. In both cities, tlie troops and the UlBter volunteers fraternized in the churches. exchanging complimentary salutes and Jointly singing the national anthem. There was much activity all day at tlie war office, Indicating the anxiety felt in high quarters over the situation as it regards the army. Reinstatement for Officers. Interest centers in the attitude of regimental officers which Is still shruuded In mystery. In this connection, T. J. Garvin, the leader of the journalistic opponents of home rule, has a. surprising article in the observer, in which he urges the officers of the army to resign, and promises them reinstatement with n0 loss ot seniority when the Unionists return to power. Lord Galloway writes to the Observer, suggesting the subscription of a national fund for the officers who resign us lhe result of their refus il to "do the government's dirty work." Tn.* articles and the letters have caused a great sensation, Warrants Not Issued., The Observer repeats the report that the government has warrants prepared for the arrest of 200 of the Ulster leaders at an opportune moment, but this is again denied by the authorities. The Irish, political and religious leaders, continue to counsel peace and their representations are having marked effect on the Nationalist sections of Ireland, where the popular self-control is most marked. It Is believed tha1 Andrew Bonar Law, the Unionist leud- er, will move the adjournment of the house of commons toduy, in order to discuss the situation generally, and especially thfi resignations of the army officers and the movement of '.rcops in Ireland. If this be done, a bi'.tei debate against the people of Ulster ii apparent. The troops are declared to be merely occupying strategl-- pr'sl; tlons and safeguarding the rl'-jhts ol civilians. The parliamentary slluatlon is not likely to change prior to the appearance bf the home rule bill in the house of lords, utiles* ther'e should b' some serious disaster in Ulster. It Is believed that if the lords will give the bill its second reading, the government will be ready to make further cances- sions, consenting to a general el vtion after the passage of the Irish bill, f-nd that fcr the disestablishment uf the Welsli church, but ;it Is doubted !f the house of lords will accept such proposals. Army Organization Crippled. (By Dally News Leased Wire) LONDON, March 22.—The government's military precautions to preserve order In Ulster have precipitated a crisis without parallel in the history of the British army.

'(By Dally New.-! t-eased Wire.) NEW YORK, March' 22.—Showing a startling reversal of form over last time, whent. the. two teams met a week ago, tiie- Wanderers of Montt-eal defeated the QUebfec team in the professional hockey series at the St'Nlch- 'olaB rirtk last night. The score on the previous occasion was 18 to li in favor of the Quebec boys, but when the Wanderers did not have the goaltender that stood in the cage tonight. , In the first of the final matches for the purse which was offered by the managers of the rink, the Wanderers borrowed Lehmann from the Vailcou- ters and his work made all the difference in the world; When the'final whistle was blown the score' was nine to four in favor of the team from Montreal, which was even a bigger ratio of difference than that displayed in their last contest/where these odd3 were reversed. Although Quebec was outscored by a margin of five goals, they still have a chance to get in on the long end of the purse, for another game will be plnye^ and the team having the greatest aggregate for the two nights gets the biggest share of the money. The officials, who were also from the Dominion, would not stand for the display of temper which was shown toward the end of the game,, antl they sent man after man off the Ice. The most serious of these threatened to he a free-for-all fight. Prodgers, who is a rather husky chap, hnd been checking his lighter rival a hit more freely than he should haye, and when Cleghorn saw an opening hp spilled the big Quebec man in scientific fashion, Prodgers was up in an instant and went at his rival with his fists. Immediately there was a gran-j melee up in the corner of the rink, but it was all settled when the officials ruled the two of them, off tho ice foi* the rest of the same. Quebec started the game as if they were going to make a repetition of the match of a week ago, Before five minutes had been played Miey scored ihree goals to the Wanderers' one. Tom Smith did all the shooting for the Quebecs. The Wanderers, however, began to find themselves and before the half was over the score stood four to three In favor of the Montreal meij, After this there was nothing much to the match but the Wanderers. In the second perjod they added three goals to their total, while the best tlie Quebecs could do was- to get one. In the last period the men seemed to tire and the tallying was not so fast.

We Will just cut out the pre liminurlcs and get right to our stib ject, "Gardening,'' When 1 say "gardening," however, I do not mean just spading up a fow feet of ground and throwing in some seeds, whieh may or may not grow; by gurdening I mean making the very best use of what ground you huvc and planning It so that lhe garden is a harmonious whole, a beautiful setting for the jewel that is a homo. Nuture Ih such a bountiful giver that to those Who love her she bestows gifts that Will transform the ugliest shack into thing of beauty and make of tiie most unsightly buck yard a restful, lovely .ipot to churm the eyes of ovt-ry puss er-by. I often think how interesting It would be to muke a whole garden from the material to lie found in the wild. This British Columbia of ours is so rich in natural beauty'of shrub and flower that with a little loving -perseverance one could have a beautiful garden, und not plnnt anything but what is native to the country. \i Were planning a new garden I believe I should be tempted to experiment along these lines and see what sort of a garden 1 could evolve. Just now, however, we miist try to consider what sort of gardens the most of you are planning, and as those will likely .be confined to one or two city lots, we will glance ut the possibilities of the two types of city lots that nre most common in Nelson. I mean tho level graded lot ahd the rocky, uneven one, with possibly a few trees left standing. To me, personally, the hitter appeals much niore strongly and I should not drCam of having such a lot cleared nf stone iind graded. In the first phlce the cost of labor would be almost prohibitive, iind to my mind llie nnturaMstlc styld of g.irdonhvg suggested by the contodr of the ground is much more beautiful than any formal effect could be. A3 a matter of fact, tills is just where so iriuny |)et'|*le make u riitstnkfe, in striving after a sort of conventional idea of a garden instead of trying lo muke their gardens individual, expressing not only the natural features of the site, but also giving scope to their own personality. Like a house, which always expresses somewhat of tin* personality of its mistress, so a garden should be a sort of key to the character of Its creator. If people only made their gardens according to this scheme, what an interesting study they would afford! Aside from any fanciful ideu, however, it 'Is easy to see how much moi-e interesting the gardens in a city like Nelson would be if each owner made a plan for Himself and carried it out without any preconceived Idea as to the conventional thing in gardens. And yet that ls not just what I am trying to say, the idea I wish l» convey Is that in u mountain town the nature of the ground varies so much that It is foolish to try to nil have level green lawns ni*d that sort of thing, and that a much better plan is to study tlio site und plan your garden to Conform to it. rather than eltdnge the whole character of your lot to conform to a preconceived idea of what n. gardes should be. In Victoria, out Oak bay direction, there are some of the most beautiful gardens I ever saw, and everyone goes Its own sweet way, taking advantage of every rock and unevenness in the ground to add to Itself a new beauty. In Seattle also the finest places have rough stone walls around the terraces in which are growo all sorts of rock plants, the whole effect being far lov- licr than grass, and much easier to keep tidy. As an illustration of the success of adapting your garden to fit ihe site, I cannot forbear to draw your attention to a little garden that ls a shining example. I refer to Mr. Shackle- ton's garden on Front street, just wliere thc cars pass each other. I use the cars pretty often and huvc had time to study the situation while waiting at the switch. I think the lot was excavated for a ceiiarand then used ds a dumping ground for waste from tho marble works. Could anyone Imagine f more impossible combination, and yet out of those very materials has been evolved one of the prettiest and most artistic gardens In town, particularly the year before last, When the color scheme was altnoat entirely eon- fined to yellows; yellow punsics, marigolds and nasturtiums being used In masses, the white marble forming a fine contrast. Of course the planting of such a place could bo so arranged by using rock plants, bulbs und perennials tiiat ft would be in bloom from frost to frost—the Ideal which every gardener should strive to attain—but tho effect ut the height of blossom In the summer I speak of could hardly be beaten. I mention this place particularly becauso I regard it as the greatest triumph over adverse conditions 1 havo ever seen and surely if a beautiful garden can grow out of a cellar excavation and pieces of waste marble no one need despulr. Just think of the amount of labor, nnd^the commonpleee effect that would have resulted from an effort to make a conventional sort of garden in that placo, and take a hint from it when pi, nning your own garden. If your lot In rocky and wild use the rocks for lay called dry walls, I.e., out mortar against sloping bunks. Plant creeping things hardy Aiyssum or Go Summer, Creeping and tho. hundreds of rock plants which are especially suited to this mountain ous district. Then, in larger spaces among shrubs anfl vines and hardy pblhts, grouping them as nou a natural way, wtilcl achieve by taking not ing of native trees such a. garden ono sh* the difficult flower.-?, self aa much as possible to native shrubs and Vines, pe Leopard's Bane: Columbines aijd such us if they might grow wild; annuals rcinlly the Cali- masses of one such as poppies, esp fornia poppy, phlox I'olor, nasturtiums (iingle), petunias and all sorts of alp! bulbs," such us snow ng up what are ■.tones laid with- low terraces or these with such Arabls, Aubretla, d Dust, Snow in hlox, Saponaria little pockets or four rocks plant ■ly as possible in you can easlly ce of the group- und shrubs. ( In ubl not try after lU't cohfltr 'onniuls such s*les. Foxgloves, things as look The "little drops, solllaa, glory of thc snow, arid crocu.-. are all .suitable, while Poet'ji narcissus and many other af thc similar daffodils do fine for naluralixing i 1* groups where- over room can be foui d for them. On a graded city let the Ideal is to secure as much of ar effect of space as possible with a mi ximum of bloom for at least seven mojiths in the year. On a 25-foot lot—the usual width of a city lot—there is riot much chance fOr originality, but by using a little judgment one can have a tiny bit bf lawn, good shrubbery! and hardy borders. The average person cuts his lot ijqu-m* In two by running a straight path through the centre from thc street mistake, u much P your walk just far . narrow ardy plants be- your boundary a- clipped bodge, to lhe door. This is a betler plan being to right over to one side, enough away to perriit of border of i-hrubs and £ween tlie path and line, il do not advise but would never go ti the expense of putting up feni.'t between lots. though a bit of chicken wire stretched en low posts might 'b'( a good precaution to take against stray dogs and chickens. Better thai either clipped hedge or fence is a phntlng of different sized shrubs, fillci In with hardy flowers, such a.s clonus of Foxgloves, Larkspurs, Hollyhocks, Hardy Oypso- phlias, or any one of a dozen similar things. Along the eige of tho path .can be grown a variety of creeping things, such as we mentioned In connection wltb the rock ■ lot. By a little management you can have a slightly curved p; th, -but do not strain after this, but if the locution of your doorway will allow of a curve In the pathway it will bj; more In keeping with* the sort of! garden we are planning. Try to lunte a little wider space at the corner Where your gateway is than along the boundary of thc path elsewhere, and this will not only give you a curved outline but also allow of a good sized grouping of different-sized shrubs ardund a tall growing tree planted in tlie corner. Near tho liouse it might 'lie possible to have another tree, but on a small lot one cannot afford too many trees and should confine oneself, to tall growing and small shrubs. On the side of the lot awuy from the path we will have our main hardy bordur, using shrubs again In lieu of a fe the edge of our border line but in uneven out buy and there a little | sort of a border adds the apparent size of besides allowing of a niuch more Interesting grouping of shrubs as these can be planted right out iji the projecting parts of tho border, at course shrubs of lower habit boingi used for this. When you have your iorders planned, ii trip to the woods will furnish you with enough beautiful shrubs and trees to plant quite* a lar Splren, Shwadbush, and Oregon Grape all enough for any garden, and much moro suitable than foreign hardy things. If you desire privacy, this border can be across the front of y< will find yourself able 3hrub3 and flowers *■ least enough to make a tiful. A bed formed near t ie houso by thc Juncture of the path front door with one le; chen sometimes make place for a small rose! bed, and on a small place It is better to grow tea roses, as these can be planted as ctosi as 18 inches.

MONDAY, MARCH 23 A CONDITION THAT SHOULD BE INSISTED ON, An excellent suggestion haa been made in connection with the application of the Canadian Northern railway to the Dominion government for additional assistance to enable it to complete the lines which It has at present under construction. It is that, if any aid Is given ih the Bhape of a bond guarantee or otherwise, the Canadian Northern should -agree to muke a traffic arrangement with the Intercolonial railway, Canada's state-owned road, tor. the handling of through traffic instead of building a line of its own to the maritime provinces or of making a deal of the kind with one of the other roads. At present the Intercolonial is heavily handlcappe-i owing to the fact that it has no connection with the west. It is also necessary to the success of the Canadian Northern that it should have connection with the ports of the maritime provinces. Another line from Quebec, the present terminus of the Canadian Northern, would not open any additional territory nor serve -any public interest. The Canadian Pacific, the Grand Trunk Pacific and the Intercolonial can easily han die all the through business and also all that Is likely to offer In this section of tbe country. In fact, why the late Dominion gov ernment built a line for the Grand Trunk Pacific from Quebec to Moncton, N. B., duplicating, if not actually paralleling, the Intercolonial is almost beyond comprehension. It Is a case where the interests of the govern raent-owned line and of Canada as a whole were sacrificed to party exigency. The government of the day needed the votes of the people of th** marltime provinces to carry the Grant1 Trunk Pacific deal through and sv some sixty millions of public mone*. in cold, hard cash were sacrificed. A working arrangement could have- b3en made between the Intercolonial and the Grand Trunk Pacific at that time and the public needs abundantly served. This was not done, however, and now an opportunity has arisen by taking advantage of which the interests of the Intercolonial can be served through making a traffic arrangement with a railway having connections PAPE'S DIAPEPSIN ENDS INDIGESTION with the entire west, and at the same time any further duplication of lines through unproductive territory prevented. If the government finds it necessary to grant any further aid to the Canadian Northern lt should make It a condition that a hard and fast traffic arrangement such as suggested should first be entered Into. The government holds tbe key to the situation at the present time. It Is to he hoped it will use It, THE TAGHUM BRIDGE. The progress which has been made on the Taghum bridge and the prospect of its early opening for traffic should be a cause for satisfaction to the people of Nelson and of the district of Nelson. This bridge when completed will give Nelson connection by road with the outside world and will enable settlers from the Kootenay and Slocan valleys to drive Into Nelson with their produce or for their pleasure. With the opening of this bridge tt will he possible to go by automobile from Nelson to Trail, Rossland, Spokane and the Boundary and all points having connections with these, and similarly people from these places will be able to come to NelBon by automobile. This should mean the opening of a new era for Nelson and the district. ThiB Is the first step toward the opening of a series of roads which will connect all parts of Kootenay and the Boundary, furnishing a means of communication that will prove of Inestimable benefit In the development of a tourist traffic through this section of British Columbia. •> WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING ?> *Q&S$$<hQ&§$QW&QQMlftQ Gathering of the Girls.

While the war office refuses to say how many have resigned, popular belief, based on reports from the different regiments, is that the number of withdrawals has crippled the whole military organization in Ireland -ind prevented carrying out of the orders for moving several large uodle-j of troops. The Marquis of Londonderry, one of the Ulster leaders, said tonight that nothing of the sort had occurred in the British army since the ilay-i of the American revolution. Should Be Court-Martiafed. Public curiosity Is at fever h°atover the question of how the government Is to deal with hte resignations. The Liberal sentiment is that the secedliw officers should be court-martial* d. Many Conservatives argue that the situation amounts to civil war and that the officers should have liberty to choose which faction they should ally themselves with. King as Peace Maker, The entrance of King George en the Bcene as peacemaker was the dramatic event of the day. He had a long conference with the prime minister, Mr. Asqulth; the secretary of state for war- Col, Seeley, and several high officers, and afterward summoned Field Marshal Lord Roberts, who has been much criticized by the Liberals for utterances which they construed as encouraging the officers to refuse to obey orders. Army Council in Session. From the palace, the veteran field marshal drove directly to the war office, where lie had a long conference with the secretary for war. The army council held a long sitting at the war office. Brigade Without Officers. In the meantime the movement of the troops continued in Ireland. The centre of interest shifted to the Curragh, 2r> miles from Dublin, where the third cavalry brigade, under Gen. Gough, and the fourteenth infantry brigade, under Col. Rolt, are stationed. Gen. Sir .^ftiiur., Paget, commanding, tlie forces".in"'Ireland, spent the day In camp. He had a conference with 50 officers of the Curragh, Dublin, Kildare and Newbridge garrisons, it wns said that orders had arrived for the despatch of the third brigade to Ulster, but that these could not be carried Into execution because practically all the officers had resigned. Orders for the despatch of the sixteenth also falle-] of execution by tea- sen of the same wholesale retirements of officers. Aristocracy With Ulster. According to some ieports the m-11-* tary men refused information, but a Dublin des-patch says that the resignations from the Curragh forces numbered 40. Other advices place the number at 100, The government is embarrassed by the disaffection, wnich even extends to the officers who remain on duty. The great majority oi the aristocratic class sympathize with the covenanters. Troops Throw Down Arms. Among the rumors printed) and denied today were reports that the AW' ernment had issued an ultimatum to officers, giving them 12 hours to decide whether to obey orders, and thai two companies of the Dorsetshire vo-M- ment in Belfast had thrown down their armB. Officers to Be Arrested. A Dublin message to a London press association says that the officers who refused to obey orders will be arre.-i'ed and that many of those who have undertaken to go to Ulster have done so on condition that they are not to carry arms against Unionists.

Parade Abandoned. The Nationalists, acting on John Redmond's advice, have abandoned their parade in Londonderry, which would have been almost certain to result in fighting with the Orangemen. Troops Moved to Prevent Raids. (By Dally News Leased Wire.) LONDON, March 23.—Premier Asqulth has authorized the Times to make the following statement in his behalf, in order to correct misapprehensions in the public mind as to the government's actions and Intentions: "First," he said, "the movement of troops in Ireland was of a purely precautionary character, as it is obvious that the policy of disposing small bodies of troops in Ulster would be perfectly useless from a strategic viewpoint. The intention was simply the protection of the arms and ammunition depots from a possible raid. As for the so-called naval movements they Blmply* consisted in the use of two small cruisers to convey a detach- ment of troops to Carrlckfergus without marching them through Belfast. No further movement of troops is contemplated. No Warrants Issued, "Second, the rumor that warrants had been Issued for the arrest of tho Ulster leaders never had the slightest foundation. Doubtless Sir Edward Carson and Mb supporters honestly believe the rumor, but the government has ne"er taken and does not contem plate any such step. "Third, there seems to be a widespread impresBion abroad that the gov- ernment contemplates instituting a general inquisition Into the intentions of officers in the event of their being asked to take up arms against Ulster. No such action is intended, if only for the reason that the employment of troops against Ulster is a contingency which the government hopes may never arise," The Times adds that the prime minister declined to make a. statement about the Curragh resignations and Gen. Sir Arthur Paget has heen consulted. "But," says the Times, "it is understood that the minister's view is that there had been quite an honest misunderstanding concerning the nature of the duties the officers have been asked to perform, and the intention is to reinstate them and attribute the whole business to a. blunder." The Daily Express learns that Baron Loch has tendered his resignation ns lord-in-waiting .to the King. Lord Loch holds thc rank of major in the Grenadier guards. Compact With Nationalists. The ExpresB professes to give the terms of alleged compact form of the eeneral election of 1010 between the Liberal party and the Nationalists. This compact was in writing and 'n eturn for the Natlonilst siinnort In carrying Chancellor Lloyd George's budget and all the Liberal measures Premier Asqulth agreed to force home rule on the nation in spite of all opposition. It was further agreed that if Ulster showed fight the government would eventually extend the privilege of exclusion from the hill for a limited nerlod, hut beyond that it was stipulated In the company, it would not budtie nn Inch. The Express also understands that Col. Sir Philip Chetwode. commanding the London mounted brigade, has been appointed successor to Gen. Gouehey, in command of the forces at Curraah, and. started for tbat point last night. Resignation of Officers t"Rv Tlatlv Newp Lenspct WirtO LONDON, March 22.—What appears to be a reliable account of the defection of the officers at Curragh comes in a Dublin despatch. On Friday morning the officers received notification from the war office that, unless they were "prepared for active service in' Ulftter'iihder ccrfafii contingencies they should hand in ihcir papers in 12 hours. As a result of this notification, 70 out of Tli officers, including Lord Holmpatrick, resigned. Gen. Sir Arthur Paget then communicated with the war office and subsequently had a conference with the Curragh officers. Gen. Paget told them the war office was willing to accept thc resignations of Gen. Gough, of the 3rd cavalry, and the senior officer of his staff, Major Kenraley, but that individuals were personally responsible for their refusal to serve, which meant that they might bo court martini-*-]. Gen. Gough and Major Kenrsley declined .to accept the offer of support und declared they would stand or fall with their brother officers. Will Do Police Duty Gen. Paget gave assurances that thc movement of troops was intended merely for the protection of government property and on this assurance the officers agreed to do police duty, but resolutely refused to undertake hostilities against the Ulster loyalists. This decision was forwarded in a spe- <clal message to London, and Gen. Gough and the colonels of the other regiments were, summoned to the war office. There are additional .provisional resignations from other regiments. Army Regulation The regulations governing .the officers' position Is ns follows: "An offluer shall not be permitted to retire voluntarily unless It is deemed expedient by the army council." Another General Resigns Gen. Sough's brother hns also resigned his commission .In the army. He is Gen. J. E. Gough, chief of staff in the Aldershot command. Gen. Gough nnd his brother officers, Including Col. Hogg, from the Curragh, arrived here today and visited tlie war office. Col. Hogg subsequently took lunch with Winston Churchill, who, when he was in the army, served in Col. Hogg's regiment, LONDON, March 23.—The Dally Chronicle, the government organ, savs It learns that Premier Aseiulth will make another important statement within two weeks on the Irish question, in which he will offer an early general election, probably in July, providing that the L'lsterites will co-operate in passing the Welsh disestablishment and plural bills at this sitting. VANCOUVER TO SEND FIVE HUNDRED MEN ALPHONSE BERTILLON M. Alphonse Bertlllon, the Inventor of the celebrated criminal Identiflcu,- tion method named after him, who died recently ln Pants at the age of fi0, also devoted attention to the study of Handwriting, and was one of the handwriting experts in the Dreyfus trial. Mr. Bertlllon has been in a. grave State of anaemia for some time, nnd on three occasions within the last three months his brother. Dr. George Bertlllon has endeavored to gave his life by transferring his own -blood into his brother's veins. M. Alfonsp Bertlllon was bom In Paris in 1353, and lie was only 27 years of U£<; when he invented the measurement system for Identifying criminals, which, until it was superseded by the even more effective finger-print system -because part of thp education of every experienced detective in Europe. Some years ago M. BarWllon was the principal VajiKness in an extradition case at Bow street, London. It concern- e\i' a murder in France, and it Is significant that the French criminologist produced as evidence of the identity of the men who were charged with the crlmo an enlarged photograph of two finger marks found on a. bottle in the murdered woman's room. At the time he was interviewed by a -representative of a London newspaper, who .suggested tho finger prints had rather superseded .anthropometry, M. Bertlllon, however, could not agree to that, and «aiJ .that though the prisoner was first suspected by tlie finger prints, the police record of his measurements taken when he was formerly in eus- UOy established his Identity beyond :i doubt. In 190-4 Mr. Bertlllon succeeded In getting a new method of descriptive portrait officially adopted by the Paris police. It was merely n developmenl of .until ro pome try, with the basis that the appearance of any Individual may be expressed in term;- so clear, precise, and unequivocal that Identically the same Imo-ge is evoked in the mini of everybody who hears or rear's thf description. Courses of lessons in th It' .art of identification were given to the detectives, who were taught to recognize a person who was "wanted" by features which were Incapable of disguise.

One peculiar thing about this ls that this shape Ib often retained lor hour? at a time, while the various Individuals forming the ball move swiftly backward and forward through the mass. Another is that the ball can move as a ball, for example, going swiftly down the road in some horse's wake. The question is why do the gnats desire to fly in and out of this ball continually? What fun do they see In it or what pleasure do they derive from it? They seldom touch a neighbor gnat. The most probable theory Is that which assumes that the universal pro- blem of sex has something to do with it. The individual gnat may be lookin- for its mate and it is. certain that in a few minutes he or she gets a glimpse of many Individuals of the opposite sex. Now suppose that the affinity is sensed-— may it not he probable that, In going so fast, she Is lost sight of, and that the ardent wooer returns again and again looking for her—and every now and then glimpsing her, but never attaining his desire save for some fortuitous circumstance?

Attacks on Husband Preyed on Mind— Ex-Minister and Prosecutor Tell Conflicting Tales. (By Daily Newa Leased Wire.) PARIS, March 22.—Mme. Caillaux, in her preliminary examination before M. Bouchard this afternoon, recounted the motives which induced, her to kill Gaston Calmette,. editor of the Figaro. She was taken from St. Lazare prison to the palace of Justice In a cab, guarded by detectives. The .prisoner wos attired In a handsome black gown and an astrakan mantle, and carried the sarnie muff in which she concealed the revolver on the day of the shooting. Once during her reoital she gave way to emotion, at other times she appeared calm and fearless, Mme. Caillaux gave briefly the history of her married life. She said: "I always took great interest in the pub- lie life of -my husband, sharing the pleasures and the cares of politics." Tho prisoner's recital was suspend ed temporarily when sho burst into a fit of sobbing. On resuming her testimony, sho said: "For two years an abominable campaign was directed against my husband, who was attacked on every occasion, notably on the charge that ho had secretly ceded a portion of the French Congo to Germany and In connection with the Agadlr incident in Morocco. I was deeply grieved by these calumnies, which became particularly venomous at the tlmo of tho formation of the Doumer- gue cabinet. The feeling of hostility I noticed especially at receptions. My Indignation was aroused because I had implicit faith in my husband's probity." Mme. Calllaux declared that since her girlhood she had been a reader of the Figaro. When It joined the enemies of M. Calllaux in the campaign against htm, her indignation was Intense. "On Friday, March 13," sho said, "tho Figaro published a fragment of a letter signed 'Thy Joe.' That letter, I know, was in the possession of a woman, as well as two other private letters written to me by M. Caillaux beforo our marriage. I sought counsel for the purpose of having the publication of theso letters legally prevented, ■but in vain. All .these things preyed on my mind and I determined to put a stop to the calumnies," The magistrate decided not to pursue the Inquiry further.. The investigation will be taken up again next week. On leaving the -magistrate's room, Mme. Caillaux was escorted by two detectives to her automobile and taken to jail. The magistrate once asked Mme. Caillaux on what she based her opinion that the person who sent the letter to the Figaro signed 'Thy Joe,' a letter which was not addressed to her and did not concern her, had other letters that M. Caillaux wrote to her before her marriage. "Seeing the letter signed 'Thy Joe' In the possession of M. Calmette, I Inferred that he had two others," replied tho witness. "Today I am too tired to collect my thoughts. At the next hearing I shall show by witnesses that I do not charge lightly that the holder of the published letter was In possession of other personal letters." A smaill crowd of curious persons gathered around the palace of justice, but there was no demonstration. At the enquiry by the chamber of deputies into the Rochette matter, M. Monls and the public prosecutor, M. Fabre, were called to confront each other. They told conflicting stories of the postponement of the trial of Rochette on charges of extensive swindling. M. Fabre Insisted that he had received an order from M. Monls for tho postponement, which the ex-premier flatly denied. There were several minor demonstrations today in Paris, Versailles and Marseilles.

DENIS & LAWRENCE ' . 609 Ward St. Member for Kootenay Guest of Canadian Club of Peterborough- Old Home Town j PETERBOROUGH, March 22.—On March 5 R, F. Green, member , for kootenay, was the guest of the Canadian Club of Peterborough, his former home town, and delivered an interesting address on British Columbia before one of the best attended gatherings in the history of the club. At the close of the address a vote of thanks was enthusiastically carried, Mr, Green said: I was more than delighted when I received an invitation to address your club, for the reason that Peterboro is the place of my nativity. I wus born within a stone's throw of where we are now assembled, more years ago than I care to think of; you will read Ily 'understand, therefore, how much pleasure it gives me to have the opportunity of addressing a Peterboro audience, in which I recognize many old friends of my boyhood days. I propose today to tell you a few things about British Columbia, the province of my adoption, that prov ince which beyond question will be th© fanner province of the Dominion, It is hard for a person who knows British Columbia to curb his enthusiasm when anything in connection with that province Is .brought Into question. We have heard our province called a sea of mountains by an eminent stateman of the past, and truly it Is a sea of mountains, but we are proud of thc description. It is just one. You cannot live in the mountains of British Columbia, and see them towering Into the skies ahove you and think small things. They inspire big thoughts. Living surrounded by them from day to day, you get Into the habit of thinking big things, and you want to do big things, When you see them covered from the foothills to the summit with trees; when you know that their valleys -will com- paro with any valleys no matter where situated; when you know that their streams when, hurnessed will supply power to carry on all the industries that may present themselves; when you look at the wealth of the mineral concealed in them, you will readily see why we are proud of that title given us by the late Hon, Edward Blake, namely, "A Sea of Mountains." British Columbia has nn area of 356,000 squore miles, or nhout 228,000,- 000 acres, so that you can see thai this is a small empire in Itself. Of this acreage perhaps I would not be exaggerating when I say that 12,000,- 000 or 15,000,000 of them were arable, though these 12,000,000 or 15,000,000 acres are in somewhat widely separated valleys. In, 1871 when this province entered confederation We had some 30,274 neo- ple within our borders, only 10,000 of whom were white. Today we have an estimated population of 625,000 people. From 1871 until 1881 the increase was very small, in fact until sifter the advent of the Canadian Pacific Railway company in 1885, the province beln^ so isolated, there was very little opportunity for expansion, so far as population and *busineBs was concerned. In 1891 we had Increased our popula- tion to 178,657, while the census of 191*1 (and I may say vary badly taken) gave us a population 01392,480., Since that time we havo <bee'n g°lng ahead by leaps and bounds, owing to the fact that we now have one transcontinental railway and two more are being built across our province, and in my opinion, British Columbia is just commencing to attract the attention from the general public and the investor, that she is entitled to receive. Growth of Revenue. The revenue of o"r province in 1893 amounted to less than $2,000,000, while In 1913 we reached the grand total of $10,500,000, this sum being larger than Is collected by any province in the Dominion. Our expenditures have risen from $3,500,000 to nearly $18,000,- 000. We have quite a large mileage of roads to supply our needs, and owing to difficulties by reason of our physical configuration, these 20,000 miles will cost ut least $50,000,000, so that we will need all the revenue that we can collect to develop our province. Natural Resources We are proud of our province for another reason, that is, because the natural resources found within our borders are possibly as great, and if not greater, than any other province in the Dominion. By our forestry commission it is estimated that we hnve one hundred million acres of forest land, sixty five million of which are calculated to lie capable of producing merchantable timber, p These sixty-five million acres are estimated to contain three hundred billion feet, board measure. This comprises at least one-half of the standing timber in the Dominion of Canada. Our tlm her Is all, or nearly all, conifer, or soft wood- Wo have a little of the hard woods, such as soft maple, iblrch, etc., but these are not ih merchantable quantities, and some of them being possibly 50 or 60 feet in circumference, and some of our fir are 300 feet high, but the ordinary merchantable timber of our woods will average from three to five feet fn diameter. The cut or product of our timber in- dustty has increased rapidly. In 10 years ft has Increased from 350,000,- 000 to 1,260,000,000 feet, and I. am glad to say that the revenue collected from this particular industry i3 very large Indeed, being something over $■1,000,000 per annum, and this year It is estimated that the revenue from timber will reach the sum of $3,000,000 at least. Timber Policy. The people of the province, through the government, have been wise in their day and generation, and instead of disposing of these timber areas outright to the lumber man or speculator, have inaugurated a system, under which timber can be acquired only by license. Each license is for an area of B40 acres or a square mile, and the annual rental thereon costs on an average of about $125. In addition to this the government collects a royalty of 50 cents per thousand on all the timber cut thereon. These licenses only permit of the cutting and carrying away of the timber, ibut do not glvo any title to the land, which reverts to the crown when the timber is removed. In addition to this the government have provided for reforestation and with such a magnificent stand of tim'her, you will readily see that It would be Impossible to denude our hills, as we have sufficient standing timber to last until the effect* of the reforeBtratlon will provide more in the growth of new timber. I may say In 1003, when I took over tho forestry department, as minister of land? and works for British folumbla, 1 found that there were several methods in vogue under which, and by which, timber could bo acquired, but us soon „„ I had an opportunity, I changed the law, and provided that the only way timber could be acquired) was un- der the present license system and I believe that this Is undoubted y the right'system, and one that Is fair and equitable, both to the lumberman and the province, i see that the general conditions under the Timber act, Is being enlarged'this year, t0 make the partnership already existing between the government and the lumbermen more definite and the royalty that would ibe charged under the new regulations will depend upon the prices at which the lumber is sold, so that It will (be a division of profits, as it were. Magnificent Fisheries. Perhaps the next in importance of our natural resources is our fisheries. Here again we lead the Dominion, in fact, our production last year was greater than that of the three maritime provinces put together and I can tell you that so far as this Industry is concerned, it is practically In Its infancy. It is quite true that the salmon industry has been exploited by us for a long time past, In fact, In 1903 the total production from our fisheries which was principally salmon at that time, was $5,000,000 and In 1013, the salmon production reached the sum of $9,540,000, while our total production was $15,000,000, thus increasing threefold In a period of ten years. Our halibut is another of the great food fishes that we are beginning to catch and supply the markets of the world We not only very largely sunnly the markets of Canada with halibut, but We are shipping It today to the cities of the United States, Great Britain, and Germany, and last year this particular portion of our fishing industry netted us $2,500,000. In addition to this we have vast quantities of herring, cod fish, smelt, floun'il-ers and Oolachan, all of which are classed as first class food fish, The last named the Oolachan, - ■ is also called the "Candle Fish," owing to the fact that In the early days It was nrlzed by the Indians and early settlers because of the nmount of oil thnt It contained, in fact when dried It could be lighted an*di burned like a candle. Our fishing Industry ls capable of great expansion nnd I may say that our people are fully alive to the situation, and are hulldlng cold storage plants on our coast so that they can take care of the fish caught until they are in a position to market them to advantage. And may I say that we have In the midst of our sea of mountains, the greatest spawning {--rounds in the world, Professor Prince's estimate being 30,000 acres, and as for oUr fishing hanks and feeding grounds, they are Inexlmustible. Mining Sound. No doubt, you would tike to hear something of the mining industry, as carried on in1 the province of British Columbia. Perhaps some of you haw bfli for-tunplte, or unfortunnte, aS the case mav be, In the days that are gone by, anil invested some money in the mines of British Columbia, and let me tell you that I. believe If you have Invested your money in any honest mine in British Columbia, that 11 lis nerfectly safe and will bring you good interest on the money which yo.: have invested, but nn the other hand if you were unfortunate enough nol to have invested it In an honest mining venture, but have purchased some of these beautifully engrossed mining shares, which were peddled about Canada some years ago, you can wisely conclude that vour money is losl We have been unfortunate In the past in having an unscrupulous lot of promoters who have by means of flowery prospechiseS,' ver,- handsomely engraved mining certificates, mined the nubile rather than the ores of our province and in doing so have Riven mining in British Columbia a very bad name, but let me suy to you frankly, that I do not believe there i? any mining propertv within oiir nrov- Ince that hiis ever been reported upon by a reputable mining man of experience, as having a rfasonalil" chance of maklnj*- a mine upon d'-vel- onment that has not turned into n dividend payer, and that has not, if carefully managed, come up tn I'-jrlti- mate expectations. Do vou know that as fur back as 1903, British Cnlumblo produced In thai voar, $17,500,000 from her mines, and thnt 10 years Inter in 1913, she produced $32,600,000, and inis year will probably nroduce fron* $35,000,000 to $40,000,000. The tola' product to dntf> from the ciincs of British Columbia is something ovpr *4fi.000,000. The .total iroid product to the end of the year 1912 wns S143.noo,- 000. That of coal $132,871,155. Thai or .«llver $33,803,940. That of lend J29.- r.?9,953, nnd that of copper $73,725.- 562, and today we have a vcrllnhle tonsure house In tlm mlneft nf British Columbia, an,i I will venture to sav thnt with careful investment In mi-" mires, under proper conditions, anil with competent management, thpv will return greater profits than ran be obtained from anv other legitimate enterprise thn.t I know of. Agricultural Possibilities. Then we come to agriculture, something that you people of the province of Ontario .know a great deal about. In 1903 we produced only $6,750,000 worth of agricultural products, while in 1913 we produced' something over $22,000,000 worth. At the same time 1 am sorry to say that durhiK- the year 1910 we Imported over $29,000,000 worth of these products, and today are importing large quantities. Agriculture with us is simply in its infancy, owing to the fact that our lands which are all heavily timbered have been very hard to clear, in fact, It costs from (50 to $500 per acre to clear land In our province, according to the situation of the lund, anj the nmount of timber which it contained in its virgin state, but once it :is cleared, it Is very hard to find anything to equal it in the way of production. Most of our arable land is particularly adapted to fruit raising, all the smaller fruits growing in great abundance, and being eas*ily cultivated, and taken care of. The apples of our province are second to none. This might look like a strong statement to people in this part of the world, where they pride themselves on the quality and qunntlty of their apples, but you will believe me when I advance as proof, of this statement that at the exhibition held in Great Britain nnd I-Ynnce, within the past ten years, British Columbia has at each and every exhibition, carried off the gold medal. The urea under cultivation suitable for fruit rulslng, ls increasing very rap- Idly, and when our growers become educnted in handling, boxing and marketing their fruits, it will certainly be a highly profitable Industry, to those engaged In it. Our government ha? also been wise In connection with fruit industry inasmuch as at its inception they begun to pav it deserving attention, They appointed Inspectors, whose duties It was to examine the orchurds, and they sent out instructors whose duties it was to ndvise the growers regarding tbo best methods to be followed In the planting, pruning and care of their trees. They established a vigorous campaign againBt the natural pests of tho fruit orchards, and thoy established a bureau for New American Lady and Madame Lyra Corsets The new Corsets this season are more flexible and therefore more comfortable than ever. They fit snugly, but extend only from 1% to 4 inches above the waist line. The skirts, on the contrary, are long, reaching in many cases as far as the knees. In these Corsets the manufacturers have succeeded in introducing exceptional quality—even in the lower priced corsets—and we are, therefore able to give better values than ever. PRICES FROM $1.75 to $10.00 The New Nemo Corsets For Stout Figures Tiie manufacturers of Nemo Corsets are always on tho look-out for something that will give better lines to tho figure, as well as greater comfort than ever. The new models show many Improvements, and it will be well worth your while to see them today. They range ln price from $2.50 to $6.50 MEAGHER & CO. The Store for Style The Store for Quality the purpose of demonstrating to the growers, the best methods of fighting .these pests. They w;ent further than that, and they said to tlie fruit growers. We will examine your or- chardb as often as is necessary. if we find that you are not taking care of your orchard us you should, and if you are allowing these fruit nests to get the upper hand of you, we will tell you what ft do; we will come back later on and if we find that you have not itaken the necessary foteps, we shall order you to do so forthwith, and if you still neglect to do so, we shall cut your tree-* down and burn them so that you will not lie a menace to your neighbor. In this way we hnve the clean orchards, in which we grow clean fruit, and we propose to curry on this kind of supervision, and we hope by so doing, that the time will never come when the orchards of our country will be the lint beds of fruit pests, as they have i-cconie in some other countries. The Coast Ami now a word as to our sea, coast, and the advantages we get by having a coast line of some 15,000 miles, with breeding and spawning grounds for the untold millions of fish that live in our waters, and with magnificent harbors for the ships that we expect to have carrying tlie world's trade. We have the advantage of being closer to the Orient than any othor portion of onr dominion. When vou think of the 400,000,000 Or 500,000,000 people living In those oriental countries, who will of necessity desire to tradc with us, and who will want the products or our land; when you realize that they hnve many things that we of the Pacific coast will want, you will readllv see the possibilities that art. within natural advantages we look for a vast our grasp. Upon the completion of the Panama canal, in addition lo our trade with European countries, with 1-Iastern Canada, with the United States, Mexico, South America through our ports. As an evidence of what this means; within the last two or three months, that great ship-building firm, tlie Yarrows, with the parent es- tabllphment in Great Britain, which has built a very large number of sea going vessels, something 0\-er 1300 of largo tonnage, and which hn.s built a great many destroyers, not only for the government r>f Great Britain, but for other European nations, have purchased a sit*", and have estaMlshed a branch of their works at Estjuimalt. within three or four miles of the cltv of Victoria, and when men as compt*t- ent ns they arc, have invested their money upon our coast in an industrial concern of this kind, you can take It for granted that they think that, the opportunities for shipbuilding are especially bright on the Pacific coast, I am sure you will be surprised, when I tell you we have more ocean tonnage plying In and out of Vancouver, than piles in and out, of Montreal. Scenery and Climate. 1 would he glad to talk to you about our province for hours, and I cannot even think of closing without saying something in connection with our scenory and climate. In my opening remarks, I mentioned, in passing, those glorious mountulns, nnd the effect they hnve upon tlie minds of the people in general who live among Litem. You could travel the world over and spend a'good deal of time and money in viewing tlie mountains of Switzerland and other foreign countries will come to the province of British Columbia for the sole and only purpose of looking at our scenery, as it is easily comparuble with the tinost in the world. As to the climate, We can give you any kind of climate that you prefer, fn fact, we can give you a climate in some parts of the province, more rigorous than that which you have to put up with here, but to enjoy a climate of that kind In British Columbia, you must go up into the mountains of the north and climb until you havo reache-jj an elevation of froth 3500 *- 5000 feet. In some of the valleys of the interior we have a climate that is mor0 or less like the climate of Ontario, In so far as having a certain amount of snow and cold weather, but when you come to the lower reaches and t0 the coast, we have a climate that cannot be surpassed on the North Americun continent. Victoria, and the lower end of Vancouver Island are called the Los Angeles of Canada, but to my mind, taking h the day in and the day out, the year round, the climate of the lower end of Vancouver Islund is moro genial, more Invigorating, and more evenly tempered than that of Los Angeles. It ls true that in certain months of the year we have moro or less rain, but if you will take the trouble to compare our climate with Southern California, you will find that there are some months In the year when Southern California haS Its drawbacks too. We on the coast, are never troubled with any great degree of frost in the winter, or any great degree of heat in the summer. Bo that when you are sweltering on somo of the hot nights in the coming summer, and are unable to sleep comfortably, you can think of us fortunate people of the Pacific coast, where no matter how hot i( Is during the day, its soon as tlic sun Koes down, It grows cool and you can sleep comfortably, with a fair amount of covering, throughout the warmest part of the summer. At this particular time I would venture to say that were you to drop down into any of the coast cities of our province, you would find the grass growing green, spring flowers in bloom, and everybody hhrd at work, fixing tht'lr gardens'for the coming summer. I can only say in conclusion how much pleasure it gives me to visit my old home town of Peterboro, to tell you in my own feeble way of a few of the beauties, a few of the pleasures antl a few of the advantages of living In British Columbia, the home of my adbptlon, ENO Try a Now.

(Western Associated Press Special Cable.) LONDON, march 22.—The stock- markets on Saturday ivere firmer, but dealings were narrow. Tbe oversold professionals repurchased before the settlement, but the reserve of the public continues. The anxiety as to the possible developments In Ulster Is unmitigated, though the Economist points out that the steadiness of Ulster municipal and railway stocks Indicates tbe unreality of tbe fears of civil war. On the other hand tbe average broker interprets this steadiness as proof of the conviction of tlie Ulsterman and his friends that he will win in the end. It Is said tiiat 80 per cent of the Tasmanian loan for $750,000 is unsubscribed, although the official result will not be known until Monday. Meanwhile the scrip Is mioted at 1-4 discount. The Canadian scrip Is at 318 premium. Market authorities do not pretend to forecast financial prospects pending the clearance of the Ulster situation. Dull preparations which recently commenced in several departments to discount the expected money ease in April have been suspended. But underlying conditions are good and it would not take much to start things humming if the Ullster difficulty were Jot out of the way. Hankers think that thc significance of the week's decline in Brazilian exchange has been exaggerated on the stock markets, stating that, default is quite improbable owing to the existence of a substantial gold reserve and the readiness oi the financiers allied wltb Brazil to extend assistance. Canadian Pacific railway was stronger on New York an«- Berlin buying, and closed at 213 7-8. Grand Trunk was firm, hut trading was light. Hudson's Bay was heavy and closed at 9 3-8. Mexican bonds and rails advanced on a revival of rumors that the United States intends to recognize Huerta. British South African Chartered company shares were supported, owing to a majority of the elections in Rhodesia favoring the maintenance of tlie company's charter. B. c. Copper Caledonia ..

How C. Olsen, a Spokane contractor, dreamed of tbe location of a mlno near Nelson, later staked the claim, carried out development work and will on April 1 continue operations in order to bring the workings to tlie stage in which, in his dream, he discovered a vein of wondrous wealth is told by Mayor .Tolm J. Malone of Nelson, who recently inspected for Mr. Olsen the Dream mine near Hall siding. Years ago, the story runs, Mr, OI sen, before be had visited this section one night dreamed that he was operating a mine developed by a shaft, He saw the surrounding scenery iu such detail that it was stamped on his memory and toward the end of tl: dream he began to shovel out ore rich in gold. A year or so after the dream he came to the Nelson district to Inspect some timber limits and was surprised to recognize a spot on Hall creek as that which had opehe<j before him in his dream. The timber, the creek, the contour of the mountains, the size and condition of the trees ami all other conditions, he told Mayor Malone, coincided exactly with what he had seen In his sleep. He looked around an,i located the spot on which in ills dream, h0 had seen the shaft at tiie bottom of which he had dug out the rich ore and around It he located what Is now known as the dream claim. Placing men to work he sunk a shaft about 00 feet. In his dream he looked down tho shaft nn<i was just aboul able to see a candle glimmer on a shovel and it is estimated that the depth at which he would be able to see such a light would be about too feet, and he has now decided to sink the tunnel further, in the belief that he will surely open up the vein. "The property is a prospect, but 1 never laugh at any ideas of a man who Is mining, no matter how strange they may appear. "Gold, you know, is where you find It," said Mayor Malone. , EYES THAT FOLLOW YOU. Havo you ever wondered why tin- eyes. In portraits painted in oils'follow "you? There is somethin™ uncanny about it. Years ago-superstitious people were afraid to go into a picture gallery where portraits of ancestor] were to be found. Now wo know that the thine: is an optical Illusion. Obviously, tills relation does not vary at all with the position assumed by the observer. The latter may Stand for over* on either side of the olotUrt an(, yet, from this point of view, there Is as much "white" on one side of each eye .as on the other and; tbe pupil still lp in the middle. Such being thc esse the nu luted Image continues to look directly at him. In. a palatial mansion of a well known multi-millionaire, there Is ( double staircase, the tw0 flights join- ing at a landing above; On the wall is a huge painting of a flock of .sheep coming downhill. The picture Is n fumous work of art and cost many thousands ot* dollar but the peculiarity about it that chiefly interests most people who see It is that, no matter which of the two flights (which are 50 feet apart) one ascends, the sheep seem to lie running directly towards the observer. Here again, the optical principle Involved Is exactly the same as that which makes tlio ey.es in the portrait appear ns If ithoy followed von.

(By Dally News Leased Wire.) PEKING, March 21'.—Outrages by brigands in central China arc assuming alarming proportions. Several bands associated with the noted outlaw, White Wolf, are ravaging various sections of the country, ruthlessly murdering and robbing the people and burning their property. The latest report is the massacres of several persons in a market town in Hupeh province. Seven-tenths of tiie town was burned, and the population ruined financially* On the occasion of the re- cent sacking of King Tze Kiang, province of Hunan, the robbers met with no resistance from the troops. Tbe troops were commanded by a general, formerly a brigand chief, who was given his army appointment during the recent revolution. The measures of the government to deal witli thc situation were totally inadequate, and there Is every prospect of the development of the brigandage to dimensions beyond control. A revolutionary element is still strong throughout the country. Arrests and executions are frequent. The entiro northern army will shortly be employed iu the suppression of thc brigandage. KEEPING POSTED "Di COUGH TWO YEARS OLD Yields to Vinol. Read Why. Strong, vigorous men and women hardly ever catch cold; it's only when tbe system Is run down and vitality low that colds and coughs get a foothold. Now Isn't It t'eusonulite that the right way to cure a cougli is to buiM up your run down condition again? Mrs. D. A. McGee, of Waycross, Ga., says: "I had a. chronic cold aud cough which kept me awake nights for two years and I felt tired all the time. Vlnol cured my cough und 1 feel stronger In every way." The reason Vinol is so efficacious In such eases is 'because it contain? in a delicious concentrated form all the medlivual curative elements of cold liver oil, with tonic blood building iron added. Chronic coughs and colds yield to Vinol because i\ buil/ik- up lhe weakened, run-down system, You can get your money back any lime if Vinol does not do :ill we say. Wm.

"There is now invested in Y. M. C. A. property in the Dominion of Canada over seven and a half millions o.' dollars and the prospects and outlajk for the association throughout the Domln. ion were never better," said C. W*. Bishop, of Toronto, national general Secretary of the Y. M. C, A. in Canada. Who was u week-end visitor to Ihe city. "The past five or six years of association activity In Canada has been known as the building era and during thnt time a building wave has swept right over the Dominion and now 'association buiKiings have been constructed in nearly all th-. leading centers of population. Thc progress of the institution i!n this time has been really marvellous," he said. The past year has not been very productive of new buildings, according tb Mr. Bishop, but after the rush of ho past five years, a quiet spell ts needed in order that the administrative heads uf tlie association maj' formul-' ate, and map out work and a good, sound policy which WlJI assure continued progress and will bring the results whicli were originally contemplated in the organization of such a world wX'Ij and stupendous Institution. In this respect tho past year has been particularly successful, according lo Mr, Bishop, and a great dfeal OfJJrc- greBs has been made with thc Intensive development of the association's -work. As a,n evidence of the fact that the V. M. C. A. is a success iu this district, Mr.. Bishop staled that: Rossland had filed an application with the authorities for il budding, a step he attributed, undoubtedly, tu the success of .'!\e locul institution. The RosBliind association will probably be along tbe linos of an industrial association, stut- ;d Mr, Bi.shop, but this matter has nol yet been definitely -decided and will rest with the western field secretary, H. Bullantyne, of Calgary, However, Mr. B'ishop felt pretty certain that Rossland would be able to boast of an Institution in the near future, i While in the city, Mr. Bisnop, who !s on one of his periodical trips to the associations of the west, conferred witb tlie directors of tlie local institution and with its officers, and yesterday afternoon he addressed a public meeting in the building on "The Work Of tlie Association," In touching on the value of the work of the aesocUiition in his address yesterday, Mr. Bishop referred l0 the Inestimable value of the association to nil young men, particularly to the younger boys. It was an institution where the. youlhB of the land would learn lhe value of eorop era tion ii.hd their educations would be greatly enhanced by the spirit of personal contact. The value of the physical department of the association was also touched upon .and he urged the co-operation of tiie parents with lhe officers of the Institution toward assisting In the athletic development of the children. Athletics were part of the life of every boy, lie stated, and the V. M. C\ A. made an excellent centre for the.youthful athletes. Mr. Bishop also spoke of tho wide Scope at the Institution., The Y, M. C. A., ho said, was established In nearly overy country and every clime on the globe and yearly rapid extensions were being made along all lines of activity. Mr. Bishop left on thc coast train lust night for Revelstoke en route for Uio coast where he wilt visit the Institutions of the eoast cities.
