His flashing right to the body and left cross to the head were too wickedly fast for Hilt to outguess, and he took lots of punishment. HIU took the fourth aftqr a flurry of straight exchanges to the head. Hilt landed a hard wallop to the body on'a left swing to the Jaw that almost) dropped the Spokane boy. In the fifth Cottrell battered Hilt with body blows, and at Infighting and was using all his skill, forcing the fight and deftly hooking his weight onto the local boy to carry. In thia round Cottrell was once warped for using the rabbit punch. Hilt'. Hilt had the sixth by a wide margin. He showed a flash of the brilliant form with which he hud formerly delighted the fans. He swapped hard rights and lefts at range and got In some damage Ing blows in the clinches. Through this round he forced the fight and had his supporters on tiptoe looking for an early finish. Hilt again had the edge ln the seventh, which he opened with two smashing blows to te body and followed up with straight exchanges to the head and neck. He clipped Cottrell a wallop on tho jaw and momentarily slowed him up. Cottrell bored In, forcing Hilt to the ropes, and followed him through In a mixup to the floOr. Cottrell Poroee When they resumed In the eighth, Cottrell again forced Hilt to covering against the' ropes several times, but eould never get over a really hard sock. Hilt, stepping out of it, went into another flurry of exchanges and crashed Cottrell a stinger on the neck. This round was a draw. The ninth, Hilt opened with a hard drive to the heart. Both boys clinched frequently, Cottrell getting In most of .he damaging work and getting a slight edge in this round. Ttnui Za CotteeU'a The tenty was all Coitrell's.

Judith came slowly out of Garner Field's studio. lt seemed to her that she moved in & dream, a dream from which she could not wake. She shifted the heavy, untidy bundle of sketches restlessly in her arm. Her -cheeks burned yet at the things that Garner Fields had said about them! Bwiftly, with trembling fingers she had rushed them back Into the protecting paper. Swiftly, shaking with humiliation, she had hurried from his studio. And now had come numbness, despair. What had he said about them? Words etched in acid came up before her. 'To be quite frank with you, Miss . Betts, they are worse than ordinary.

He had felt for Honey the stinging pity of a craftsman for a bungling amateur. His words might very well have'said. "A good housekeeper made into a rotten painter!"

How wai she ever going to be able to tell Honey? All the happiness, the lightness had gone out of her. Her feet were no longer winged- Nor her heart- There was a heaviness to her heart that was like a stone. How was she ever going to tell Honey? She hrought up words and discarded them. Phrase after phrase ran through her mind, but they all were harsh, unbearable. She remembered the small wistfulness of Honey's face in the darkened hall and her cry, "I couldn't hear it if he didn't like them!" And now she must bear just that! It was cruel! Cruel! She would say. "Honey, he thinks they are lovely, but he doesn't feel yqu are quite ready for aji exhibition yet." But that would only mean putting off the evil day. And it was quite conceivable that Honey might go to see him herself, to question him. And she must never bear what he had to say! She might say, "He didn't seem to care for the*m, Honey! They weren't his-style of thing!" But Honey was not dull. She would grasp something back of that. How was she to tell her? She put up her hand and covered her smarting eyea. She got off the bus a block below the apartment. She couldn't explain to herself why she did it. She only knew that she must have a few moments to collect herself before she had to face Honey's questioning, j pleading eyesl Then her mind, following the track lot its childhood training, thought of ' some form of material comfort to 1 soften the blow.

Steam laundry servlco alao enables quicker service to bo given .than otln-i- methods.

Larnon who ha« been so successful m the management of the Nelson headquarters of the company. The concern has heen In business In Nelson for 26 years and has had a continual record of success. The Turninq Point in Fred Dichley's Career TCE secret of Fred Bickley's success has been an unswerving confidence ia himself that has helped him matter difficult jobs and shoulder big responsibilities. He has outstripped ■cores of chaps who had equal opportunities. Yet at the outset Fred Bickley lacked the very quality which had so much to do with hia later success. Married, totally dependent on a small •alary, his greatest handicap Was a lack of Initiative. He feared that if he were outspoken in his convictions he might imperil his slow but sure advancement. His added family responsibilities gave Urn ■ haunting fear of poverty in old •ge. Fred Bickley, in plain words, was "afraid of his job." Then one day, in the course of events, ho decided to insure. He selected a North American Life Endowment at 65 Policy. This marked the taming point in his career. His own financial future secure, and his family protected, he experienced a new sense of independence. Before long he developed an assured personality and a keen initiative that quickly lifted him "from the ranks." No man who carries a haunting dread of the future can succeed in business. Fear saps self-confidence, destroying the quality most vital to success. A North American Life Policy will be your solid foundation for future success and lifelong happiness, just as it has been for many other men. Send for our booklet, "Assure witfc Assurance."

Alderman Williamson Indignantly asked for the specific grounds on which the statements were made. The health officer replied1 that then- was no sanitary conveniences, and no bath in the sha«Jt, and that the surroundings were not sanitary. Alderman Williamson heatedly pointed out that special sanitary conveniences, such as a shower bath. were provided for the tenants of tho shack in the basement of his own home, and that the cfcy collecterl rates for these conveniences which were quite apart from similar offices installed for hla family use. The health pUicMfc..while admitting such offices wftm* there, maintained his opinion that the shack was not fit for habitation in view of modern ideas of housing. View Is Upheld Another alderman thereupon criticized the occupancy of the land on the esplanade by the shack. He declared that since other building owners had been forced to vacate squatted on land, no exception should be made ln the case of an alderman. This, view was generally upheld by the council. The land in question, however, though within the city limits, declares Alderman Williamson, Is not owned by the city, but ls Dominion government land. He erected the shack regularly paid school taxes on it. He ascribes any unsanitary conditions that may exist outside the shack to the prevalent practice of dumping refuse along the river banks, a practice that is being severely checked up by the city health officer. Whether the city has power to order removal of the shack from government-owned land is a legal point yet to be decided. The council has decided to investigate this case, and other properties along the esplanade. SOCIAL BRIEFS FROM !

Children are notoriously happy-go- lucky and irresponsible, and unless a strict control Is exercised, will blithely coaat down a hill assumin-e tha^ all will be right at the bottom. But where may Nelson parents formally permit their children to coast? In this city, whose landscape consists mainly of good coasting places but for the fact that such are open streets used by traffic, there is not a single place formally set aside for the youngsters to use for thlH purpose. This is one of the matters that should be covered by a general playground and rerreatloh policy for Not* aan, with provision for both indoor and outdoor athletic recreation, a recreation organizer, and an association to cooperate with him and with the authorities.

C. - f O doctors out of every 10 advised the Nujol type of treatment DOCTORS from coast to coast were recently asked whether they advised the Nujol type of constipation treatment to their patients. 80.7% answered"Yes". 64% condemned the continued use of laxatives and cathartics. One doctor said, "An almost incalculable amount of injury is done by these intestinal irritants, most of which provide temporary relief only at the cost of permanent injury. Laxatives bring on the laxative habit." Doctors Advise Nmj'qI Nine doctors out of every ten told us they were advising the Nujol type of treatment for their patients in place of laxatives—and for these reasons: 1. Nujol is not habit-forming; 2. A more natural method; 3. A lubricant is better than a laxative; 4. Does not gripe; 5. Is not irritating; and 6. Nujol gives lasting relief. Unlike Laxatives Laxatives and cathartics actby irritating the intestinal tract. They cause Opvrlflu IttS SunHtrd Oil Co, (N. ].> the bowels to frantically expel the contents of the intestines and thus rid the system of the drugs that pills and potions contain. Nujol acts entirely differently. It contains no drugs, no medicine. Its action is mechanical, lt meiely softens the dried waste matter in the intestines and lubricates the passage so that the muscles of the bowels can expel the waste matter regularly,naturally and thoroughly. Nature-given Remedy Nujol appeals to the medical man because it is a simple, sclentitic and safe remedy for constipation, no matter how severe the case may be. 1c ts gentle in Its action and pleasant to take. Children love it! Get a bottle of Nujol from your " druggist today. Doctors advise it for constipation, whether chronic or temporary. Avoid substitutes.

G. JOY—Part IT.) Since writing the preceding part of this sketch ot the old fire hall, Just demolished, through the kindness Lot G. W. Steele, one of our ex-flre chiefs, I have obtained the minute book from November 27, 1897, to February 18, 1901. The first minute 'a brief: A. J. Davidson, secretary; C. P. Londin, captain; other volunteers, J. W. Cowan, George Partidge, W. J. Thompson, James Chambers, John M. Cray, G. W. Steele, J. Campbell, Fred Bradley, William Ptelffer, Charles Burrltt, H. Stutter, J. C. Porter. The minutes show 8. F. Calkin was chief, at a' salary not stated. The volunteers received $2.50 per practice and the same for alarms. There were 36 practices and 10 alarms In the period covered, a total of $115. Below the entry Is a notation of $5 extra for Davidson, account working all night at the Hume fire, by order of Mayor Houston, signed by Chief Calkin. So the payroll for Nelson's fire dei partment in December, 1897, was $120, plus Chief's salary. I will endeavor to give a sketch of the team so far as my memory allows. first Brigade All Athletes George Partridge <^ime here from Vancouver, and was, like many of our volunteer firemen, an all-around athlete. At his first game of baseball they called him the "White- Haired boy." Soon after he obtained a position at the provincial jail, and at the time of the Boer war he enlisted. W. J. Thompson was afterward chief for quite a long term. Bill was quite a character. He also enlisted for service in South Africa. Another member, who was later chief, was James Chambers. He was an oarsman, distinguishing himself especially in four-oared crews. G. W. Steele, now city sani.ary inspector, also served as chief or our fire department. J. Campbell was a good famous sprinter on the Baker street race track. Fred Bradley, a good hose reel man, was an artist ln paint and paper. William Pfeiffer, who was afterward one of the first drivers, ls now a carpenter with John Burns & Son. Charles Burrett, printer, was a lover of the lake, which claimed him whilst he was shooting the rapids in a canoe, H. Stutter was a good Jumper, a financier, and an ice cream vendor and peanut salesman. J. C. Porter was a plasterer and builder. The next minute gives the name of C. P. Londin, twin brother of Londin who was killed In a snowsllde at the Molly Gibson mine. Fine husky boys, these, They would pick up a piano as If It were a hat box. Gave His Shirt Away A. J. Davidson, secretary, Great Northern operator, was a big good- natured son of a gun, always broke soon after payday, and it Is claimed he gave his only shirt away. At a certain period in fire brigade circles it was fashionable to wear a white boiled shirt. Davidson seemingly had a new one every "day. The explanation was that he was the first one who thought of paper Instead of cotton, for he used to place a piece of white paper over his manly bosom, and this answered for a shirt. On 'December 24, 1"897, the fire department notified the city hall that Thompson was selected chief, and recommended his appointment. It was moved and seconded at that meeting also that a committee of two be appointed to procure such literature aa desired for the fife hall. Then I notice later that Steele was elected foreman of No. 1 reel, and Campbell of No. 2, and In this connection the secretary made a marginal note: "Toss-up." Big Chest Mcwiurenients . The next minute ls a* copy of a requisition submitted to the mayor and city council on January 22, 1898, which was as follows: Mayor and City Council, City of Nelson: Kindly have belts, helmets and rubber boots and coats furnished the Volunteer Fire Brigade a# your earliest convenience.

On February 28 he wa* succeeded by Thomas Utile, who was one of the original owners ot the Itoyal Shoe store. Oh, sayl I could fill a book. A note in the next minutes reads: "Fire at Kootenay Steam laundry discovered and quenched by brigade while practicing on evening of February 2. Amount due John McRae to be paid A. L. Davidson, order herewith." Then later we find where Alf Jeffs and Cyril Archibald are added to the team. Some of the old-timers speak of a minor accident that hap- 'pened to Barney, but, they say, that ls another story. We also note that Joe Thompson and George Nunn were champion athletes in thoae days. Houston Had Speed Test On November 2, 18»8, a false alarm was sounded and within five minutes two streams of water were being thrown on the old Hume block on Vernon street It Is rumored that Mayor Houston and Alderman Malone, who were present, were very much pleased with the test. At a meeting of the program committee on December 19, 1898, the mayor Informed the committee that he himself had full power to grant permission for the use of refreshments in the tire hall, and to proceed with the smoking concert. The program was: Overture by an orchestra, song by Caldwell, boxing contest, banjo duet, club swinging, overture by the orchestra, boxing contest, song with banjo accompaniment, and feats of strength by J. Campbell^ When New Denver Entertained The chief reported, April 5, 1899, an offer from New Denver for a reel race on May 24. It was moved by Bradley and seconded by Thompson that the question should be laid over for a week. An amendment was moved by Vauxtone and seconded by Steele that the team should go to New Denver, providing the purse was $100. The amendment was carried, Steele moved and Porter seconded a motion that the secretary should communicate with the New Denver committee requesting that the reel race should be brought up before the other games. The above minutes seem very ordinary, but I squeezed out a Uttle history from Alf Jeffs and George' Steele. Keison Guaranteed Rossland'e Hotel Bill George Steele said: "Nelson cleaned up everything on that day, winning about $300 in prizes. Rossland bet ao heavy on their own team that the Nelson fire department had to go good for Rosslands hotel bill." In the next Issue of Lowery's paper, Lowery wrote: "I was going down the street and looked down at the ground and saw a lone 26 cent piece. I turned it over and saw some strange letters. On looking more closely it read: '-Send me back to Nelson'." Sim u of Flour (lie Handicap Alf Jeffs said: "Rossland wasMook- Ing for the best of it that day. A committee consisting of O. W. Steele of Nelson, the captain of the Roas- l:\nd taam, and Judge Sproat of New Denver were closeted for an hour and a half before they could arrive at a decision regarding the weight on the hose reels. A sack of flour was placed on the Nelson reel to make up its weight, and the going was po fast and furious that the sick lost its flour and Nelson won byv.two feet." Official Celebration ! The minutes tif a meeting 26 years ! ago were: Moved by Captain Steele and seconded by Lieutenant Bradley ! that a check should be drawn for j $2, wherewItK to celebrate the la- i crosse match tomorrow at Nanalmo.

Fire chiefs who have served the Nelson fire department are George! Bigelow, 8am Calkin, W. J. Thomp- 1 son, G. W. Steele, T. Lillie, Thomas I Sargeant, T. Deasy, D. Guthrie, I Frank Boyd and M. U> Maloney. The late J. Foote waa also a mem- j ber of the old brigade. 8. Coulter, who upset the balance of power on - one of our earlier councils—but that is another story. Roy Sharpe was also an active member of the old brigade. Doctor Convicted on Charge of Performing an Illegal Operat'm BOSTON, Dec. 8.—Dr. Thomas B. Waltb was convicted today on two charges and acquitted on thi third brought against him ln connection with the death of Edith L. Green, state ward, whose dismembered body was found ln a cemetery here last July. Dr. Walsh was convicted of conspiracy to perform an illegal operation and of the performance ot the operation. He was acquitted on the charge of causing the girl's death.

SPORTITIS By JINKS = With the rink dampened down and a start made on the manufacture of lca It Is time hockey bodies ln tbe city got busy. Where are the juniors this season? At the annua) meeting of the British Columbia Amateur association this year plans were discussed whereby promotion of the sport among the juniors should be encouraged. Nelson had a real live junior league two winters agl and there was a cup, known as the Murphy cup, played for. This cup ls still in the city and Edward Murphy, donor of the silverware, stated yesterday that he would like to see a junior league In operation here this winter. The cup, he states, is of Uttle use If lt ls not played for. In the event of a Junior league not being formed fn the city Mr. Murphy Is deeply considering the recall of the cup and the putting it up for the Commercial Hockey league championship. As a commercial league Is assured ln the city this winter, Junior aggregations should get busy at once If they wish to retain the trophy already lip. Nelson could easily field three junior league teams. Another feature of the junior league is the interest being taken in Kimberley, Trail and Rossland in this branch of the sport. A lettes has been received by the sporting editor from Kimberley. There a junior league will be formed this season. Kimberley Juniors are enthusiastic and are looking for Intercity play with Nelson and o.her West Kootenay teatrts. According to the information at hand, the Kimberley juniors anticipate lining up with the B.C.A.H.A. They are in communication with that body now and are awaiting final word from the parent body before ushering In the s?ason. If Nelson can stage a junior series and Trail, Rossland,,Kimberley and possibly Cranbrook, follow wm the same line, n real interesting Junior playoff could be arranged at the close of the reason. It ls up to the junior boys to get organized at ■once If all these good things are to come true. Three Thousand See Great Game; Sparrow Fined $25; Penalties Fly Fast PRE8SE8 FOES BACK AMOT, China.

Speaking vigorously and Interrupted often by outbursts of applause, tho commissioner said if he was reelected he would try to perform his duties with the "same Impartiality I have tried to show the past six years." Commissioner Londis appeared before the body by invitation after It had gone on record as irfdorsing him for reelection with no curtailment of authority. "I wish to thank you gentlemen," he said, "for your splendid support in the difficult duties I have been called upon to perform during the past six years."

The champion tore into Simonich in the sixth with a volley to the head and body driving the westerner to cover. The champion, apparently fighting' his way back to old- time form, scored heavily to the ■Montana puncher's head and body as the latter tired" In the seventh. Simonich rushed again to the attack In the eighth, but Latzo scored repeatedly with both hands to the head. RugfOed Punching Rugged body punching at close range carried them both around the ring at even terms In a fierce exchange In the ninth. Latco spun Simonich around with a sharp right i at the bell.

SIMP ESKIMOS Edmonton Outclassed in Prairie Game; Score Is Nine to One REGINA, Sask., Dec. 8.—Regina Capitals went Into first place In the Prairie Pro Hockey league tonight when^-they scored a II to 1 victory over the Edmonton" Eskimos. The game was never in doubt, Regina piling up four goats in the opening period. A pair of tallien were notched in the second frarn** and three more Vere thrown in in the final session for good measure. Fowler was the best man for Edmonton and but for his work in goal the score would have been much greater. Outside of him the Eskimos looked weak. Lineup Regina Position Edmonton Goal It.

Three Great Players Fail As Leaders MOOSE JAW, Dec. 8.—Three thousand fans crowded the Stadium rink here tonight and sat thrilled through 70 minutes of spectacular hockey as the Calgary Tigers and the Moase Jaw Maroons battled to a 2 to 2 draw ln the Prairie league's local opener. Overtime failed to break the deadlock. In the extra session both teams tried, desperately. The play was rough, fast and heartbreaking. Gordon Meeklig, the referee, handed out 18 penalties in all, three of them majors and slapped as well a fine of 825 on the recalcitrant Sparrow, who talked back and knocked the bell from the timekeeper's hands. Even Up In Third Moose Jaw evened the score ln the third period. Calgary commenced loatrng early In the third spasm, but when Moose Jaw ran In the equalizer things began to move. Bobby Benson and Matz on the lo- ca 1 defence presented a n Ironclad bulwark while the Calgary ■ defence was also difficult to penetrate. Hard backchecklng combined with the airtight defences kept the score slow, the four shots that found the net being close In and Impossible to handle. Action was rough shod In the second frame and grew rougher during the third when seven minor penalties were handed out along with a major to Anderson, Tiger forward. In the second period Jack Connelly of the locals, and Savage, Calgary defence player, were chased for 10 minutes when they tangled in a snarling heap beside the Calgary net, after Connelly was balked by the big fellow on a speedy rush.

Party Lines Are Discarded When Golf Takes Floor BY AL DEMAREE (Former Pitchsr New York Giants) By a strange coincidence, three playing managers In the major league, who were Ihrre *e( the greatest ball players who ever pulled on a spiked shoe, were released as managers almost simultaneously. This brings up a question of type* in biseball leaders. Of the three men, all star players, two are remarkably alike and tho other In an entirely different type. Slsler and Collins, conservative, retiring, polished and intellectual, failed as leaders, but bo did Cobb, aggressive, hard boiled, cussing and tempera mental. What's the answer? There ls no answer. You never can tel! In advance whether a player, no matter how smart and how great a star he was, will make good as a manager of men or not. The very player apparently Ideally gifted for the job fails miserably and a colorless unknown makes good. The element of lugk Is so great ln the game that you can't dope It out in advance. WASHINGTON, Dec, 8.—Politics may be the favorite pastime of the national capital, but it has one rival—golf. Party lines are discarded when golf takes the floor. Witness the old senatorial foursome at the Burning Tree clu». It has grown to several fouKflomes now. It Includes cabinet officers, senators, career officers of the government, political lame ducks and folks who are just nonpolitical "Wnshlngtonlans. Started by Harding president Harding, a charter member in his senatorial days, sounded the nonpolitical keynote of the weekly gathering of the golf faithful that was to survive him. Soon after his elevation to the White House he hastened out tQ renew the pleasant associations Of go!f-and-breakfast with his former senate colleagues at the Burning Tree. Said a fellow stalwart of the G.O.P.: "Well, Mr. President, let's beat these Democrats.'* "Democrats?" said the president. 'There are no Democrats here. Just golfers." Golf-And-Breakfast Group Secretary, then senator, Kellogg was a member of the early golf-and- breakfast group. He still Is. He's aniong the most faithful, for his st^te department duties tie him close to Washington even In campaign years. And he shoots an amazingly good game. Notably a nervous man, the little, white haired dean of the cabinet, slightly bent* of Bhoulder with much desk work, does not look athletic. But when he draws bead on a golf ball, It's more apt than not to go about where he desires. It ls his present day lament that while he once shot the best golf in the senate, he has failed thus far to capture the cabinet championship. Dwlght Davis, the war secretary, former national tennis champion, and donor of the Davis cup, is too young and too husky for him. Davis and Secretary Jardine of the agriculture department are among the golf-and-breakfast devotees as are Senators Hale of Maine, Butler of Massachusetts, and Harrison of Mississippi and former Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska. They may be politicians, cabinetmakers, but once a week, they're just golfers—and breakfasters.

The treaty. It was asserted, is merely a pact of friendship and arbitration between Italy and Albania Insuring peace and friendly relations. Instead of being a means of penetration Into Albania, tt was described as a solemn proclamation of Italy's abstentation from internal Albanian affairs. Blames the French Italian newspapers in general attribute the present outburst In southern Europe over the treaty to a resumption of active French in fluence at Belgrade under the guid ance of Premier Poincare who Is charged with changing everywhere the more moderate policies of M. Briand. Some of the papers charge that at the opening of each meeting of the League of Nations there is a campaign in which France is seen as a moving factor. The resignation of Dr. Ninchltch (which was followed by the resignation of the Jugo-Slavia cabinet) produced surprise in Italy, according to the newspaper comment. relations between Jugo-Slavia and, Italy by reason of the Italo-Alban- ian pact whjch Belgrade deems the first step towards an Italian protectorate over Albania. The Jugo-Slavla spokesmen denied the Hungarian report that Jugo-Slavia would quit the league unless the league contrived cancellation of the treaty. He said while his country regarded the pact as a violation of the splrlf -of the league covenant lt must* await some definite act by Italy of a nature to destroy the territorial Integrity of Albania before appealing to the league. Violation They Say In the meantime the, Jugo-Slavs Insist that the Italo-Albanlan pact Is a flagrant violation of the protocol of 1924 between Jugo-Slavla and Italy, whereby these countries agreed to consult each other be fore concluding any arrangement of a political nature with Albania. They say that Jugo-Slavla'has been kept ln the dark and that Premier Mussolini has been told ' that Jugoslavia does not like lt. Indications are that the fact that the council of the League of Na tions is at present In session has exercised a calming influence on the Belgrade statemen and although the foreign ministers of the great powers are still worried they voice the belief that a flare-up ln southern Ku* rope will be averted. The clause In the Italo-Albanlan pact which angers the Jugo-Slavs ls that which declares that any political or territorial perturbation in Albania is of Interest to both countries.

Many of the code telegrams were signed "John" but Mr. Stewart said that while his name was John, he had not sent the telegrams. Drivers Summoned Just before adjournment three drivers who are engaged to carry liquor to the border where it Is taken over by United States automobiles or boats, gave some light on the methods employed. They were examined by R. B. Law, junior counsel for the commission. A. C. Wood, of Vancouver, explained that he made an average of three tripe a week, but around Christmas business was brisk and he could probably make 10 a week if he wanted to. He got orders to call for the liquor sometimes by telephone from the other side of the line or sometimes from the Consolidated Exporters. When the orders were conveyed to him, he was told where to take the liquor. He went to the liquor warehouse, loaded up hla truck with the liquor and drove to the appointed place. He never crossed the line. He left it to the American automobile driver to do that. Bring Back Guns Were you ever asked to bring back ■ return cargo?" Mr. Law -naked the witness. 'Yes, Machine guns," was the reply. Mr. "Wood said that he had been a-sked to bring back machine guns by men from across the border whom he met quite recently. The fUftl were to ff_ to adresses in Vancouver where Chinese lived. It had also been suggested to him he might smuggle revolvers into Canada. Mr. Wood said that he drove for the Consolidated, Kennedys and the Commercial Unndlng company. Witnesses had not noticed that the United Htates cars had any great difficulty in crossing the line to get their loads. The commission adjourned until tomorrow. a«'Qtotro-wrt ■ aad We. Talenn Me.

Counsel Is on Stand; McGeer in Clashes OTTAWA, Dec, 8.—No action ,has yet beep taken by the board of railway commissioners in the petition filed Tuesday by counsels for Alberta and Saskatchewan to give precedence to all matters dealing with western freight rates at the present hearing of the general freight rates investigation. The whole of today's sitting was taken up by the cross-examined of D. 0. Lewis, the freight rate expert called by the province of British Colirmbla. At Tuesday's session this witness hnd been examined by G. G. McGeer, K.C., Vancouver, on a mass of figures which had been filed to show the business over the railways throughout Canada including cost of transportation, nature and amount of tonnage, length of haulage and innumerable other details, all submitted to show unfair discrimination against British Columbia. These figures were partially taken from trade and commerce departmental returns, partly from the reports of the various railways and partly from his own compilation. Hard tu Reach (Xmclusian There were a large number of cases of considerable variance in the results obtained from such varying sources and the cross-examination by counsel for the several Interests represented disclosed almost as many different angles of observation and calculation as there were cross-examiners. The heavy part of the critical checking up of Mr. Lewis' submissions fell to E. P. Flintoft, representing the C.P.R., but Mr. Symington for Saskatchewan, Mr. Pltblado, for Manitoba, Mr. Rogers for Ontario, Mr. Cornell for Nova Scotia, S. C. Woods, Alberta, and Alistalr Fraser for the C.N.R., all took a hand In the questioning, the net result being an apparent consensus of opinion that it was extremely difficult if not impossible to prepare and submit figures from the data available from which reliable conclusions could be based. In this view even the witness was constrained to agree Jn many instances. Several, clashes of counsel occurred, especially between Mr. Flintoft of the C.P.R., and Mr. McGeer of Brit ish Columbia.

Al- cock of the geological survey, shown an increase over that -of the previous year. During the half-year period ending June SO, 1926, the sine produced amounted to 67,169,670 pounds as compared with 65,257,772 of the corresponding six months of 1925, while that of lead during the same period of 1926 wae 138,397,755 pounds as compared with 128,396,836 produced from January to June, inclusive, In 1926. Ot both of these metals, over 90 per cent is produced tn British Columbia and most of this ln turn comes from the Sullivan mine at Klmtyrley, owned and operated by the Consolidated .Mining & Smelting Company of Canada, lim. ited. The Sullivan concentrator is treating at present 8000 tons of zinc ind lead ore per day and its capacity is being Increased to 4000 tons per day. In addition the same company has a concentrator at Moyie, which reats 500 tone per day of the old St. Eugene mine tailings. At the company's Bmelter at Trail, additions ire being made to both the zinc and he lead plant, and the custom mill which has been handling 300 tons if custom ore from the Slocan and )ther districts ot British Columbia ls '•elng increased to a capacity of 600 tons. On Smaller Scale In addition to the Sullivan there ire mtny properties now producing line and lead on a smaller scale. In he Cranbrook region, the Stemwind- tt at Kimberley and the Aurora at Moyie are both shipping ore. In the Slocan region a large number of properties are now in the shipping class and many others are under development. The Paradise mine in the Windermere valley has recently changed owners and increased production is expected. AtVleld, work is being renewed on the Monarch property on the flank of Mount Stephen and on the Kickinfe Horse across the valley. On the coast development work has been carried out during the summer on a zinc property at Lund and ©ja a prospect at Lynn Creek near Vancouver. Ontario and Quebec In eastern Canada the two producers are the Klngdon lead mine at Ualotta, Ontario, and the Tetreault mine at Notre Dame dea Agnes, Quebec. The'former has been a steady producer of lead since 1914; last year it produced over 7,000,000 pounds and during the past summer Installations were made to greatly increase the output. The Tetreault property has been operated by the British Metal corporation (Canada) limited, since 1924. The same company hap, during the past year, been carrying out development work on the Calumet Island Zinc property near Campbell's Bay, Quebec. Development work was also carried on during the summer on the Frontenac lead mine near Kingston, on zinc showings near Sudbury, on a lead prospect near Smithfleld, N.S., and on the zinc prospect at Stirling, Cape Breton Island. In Gaspe peninsula, Quebec, prospecting and development work have opened up further promising veins in the neighborhood of the Federal mine *on the headwaters of the Cascapedia river. Altogether, prospects are very favorable for a continued increase in the production of both zinc and lead in the immediate future. Francella, Investigator, Must Move as Well as ' Arcure Called upon to adjudicate in the matter of one henhouse alleged to encroach on the street, the city fathers, In an 'investigation held on the C. P. R. flat at the instance of 3. Francilla, discovered that two hf-n- housea so encroached. One of the henhouses that was out <>t bounds was that of T. Arcure, igalnirif whom Mr. Francilla haa been laying complaints before the city authorities i for the past year, on this leore*. The -other henhouse was that be- !onglng to Mr. Francilla himself, it a said the Francilla encroachment was found to be the more extensive. Although in the pest the city council has several times refused to ln- crvene, Mr. Arcure having originally "ind permission, during the war, to utilize a few feet of the street allow- ince, which tfaero ls a blind end. Mayor J. A. McDonald finally decided hat the original reason no longer xisted, and that the poultry fanciers if the flat must no longer have the iberty of the highway. 'He accordingly ordered both Mr. Prantilla and Mr. Arcum to move heir chicken establishments off pub- ;c property. The rival poultry keep- rs are said to be brothers-in-law.

A. McDonald, chairman; W. K. Wasson, secretary; R. D. Barnes, J. A. Irving, Mrs. J. W. Holmes, Mrs. Joseph Sturgeon and Dr. O. A. C. Walley, appointed as a nucleus for the formation of a larger general committee, the Nelson Christmas Cheer fund was definitely started last night. The nucleus committee was given power to add to its numbers, und at a meeting at the close of the general meeting lt decided to ask every organization ln Nelaon to assist ln the work of providing a fund to provide Christmas cheer for needy families in Nelson and environs. To this end, Mr. Wasaon will communicate with city organizations, inviting them to appoint representatives to a general meeting which will be held ln the city hall Tuesday night to extend and complete organization. Many city organizations were represented at the meeting which was held in the city council chamber, with Mayor J. A. McDonald presiding. About 40 people attended the meeting. Mayor McDonald, In opening, declared the idea of a Nelson Christmas Cheer fund was splendid. He said there waa ample scope for it, in fact as much as in any recent year. Object Is to Have On* Distribution F. F. Payne stated that In the past there had been large charity distributions in Nelson by various organizations. Tho object of this meeting as he understood It, was to bring these different bodies Into one organization, get a list of the really deserving people in Nelson, and distribute Christmas cheer. One idea was to have a Christmas tree. Another was to distribute the cheer in hampers. The list of needy families held by the civic relief committee was mostly of those people who had [applied for relief. The central organization would get a list of those who had nw applied as w»U af ttafge who ■ were already being BBBtrnteS. Duplication In Past Ht D. Barnes, president W th* Oyro club, said Nelaon had, In tb« paet, had many separate Chrittmaa cheer affairs, and aa ft result ther* -hftd been tremendous duplication. With. a central organization thrt could bft avoided. Similar views were expressed by Adjutant B. Parsons, of the Salvation Army, W. B. Wasson, city clerk, and J. A. Irving, president of the board of trade. T. Sargant stated he had ft model of a 1927 car for sale. If it waa sold In time he would givo a check for $150 toward the fund. J. A. Irvlnw—I think the mayor should have a car. Dr. H. H. Mackenzie—Perhaps we can appoint a committee to buy thia car. Question of Toys Several speakers were of the opinion that the Christmas tree idea should be dropped, as, with all the. churches and many organisations having Christmas trees, there could hardly be a child that was not eligible for one of them. Dr. Mackenzie mentioned that when he was a small boy he contrived to be connected with several Sunday schools about Christmas time. Others held that this decision should be left to the committee's judgment, and it was contended that, whether there was a tree or not for the kiddies of the homes to which Christmas cheer was sent, at least the liberty should be reserved to Include* toys in some cases, as for kiddles who were ill or for other reasons confined. The consensus of opinion seemed to be that goods should be accepted from donors to the fund, as well aa cash.

WOKAJT UUUID OKLAHOMA CITY Okla. Dec. i — Mrs. Edith 'Bishop, widow of laitker Bishop, state detective and picturesque Oklahoma peace officer who was mysteriously slain at his riome here early Sunday, was released from custody today following the report of a coroner's Jury that liifhop met death "at the hands of persons uaknowa." To the Uditor of The Daily News: Sir—In many of the newspaper? last week appeared a report to tht effect that the Associated Growers had launched a new contract, particulars of which had been published at a meeting of growers held at Penticton on November 27. This report Is Incorrect In that, while a new contract must necessarily bo issued before the present one expires, the form that the new contract will take ha-s* not yet been authorized by the directors. At the Penticton meeting a question was asked as to the progress being made on the new contract, and the answer was that nothing definite could be stated until the matter had been passed by the directoirs, but that the recommendation of the executive would be for a contract that could be cancelled at any time on the giy- Ing of 12 months' notice. Another report which caused much comment throughout tho country dealt with the possibility of bringing about legislation to provide tor compulsory cooperation. « This report waB not inspired by the Associated.

This will mean the establishment of another industry in Trail, employing Trail residents exclusively. He Wm Like TIES THEY'RE Ties, that were carefully chosen—the kind you'll want to present as ••rifts this -Christmas. Featured here this week at $1.00 111 I $ > This new plant will mean an investment of $15,000 in Trail, and will be under the management of an expert laundry operator of 26 years' experi ence. li The fact that this laundry will be steam operated means Trail residents will be guaranteed work of a sanitary character, which can only be assured when clothes are treated with steam. i This laundry will be second to none in British Columbia. In connection with the new plant will be a Dry Cleaning and Pressing-establishment which will offer Trail residents a service generally only enjoyed in * cities of much larger population. Ladies of Trail will enjoy the facilities of a modern Carpet Cleaning service, as it is intended to install an electrically driven carpet cleaning machine. ■ i In its business relations in Trail it is the intention of the management oi the Kootenay Steam Laundry to apply its motto of 'QUALITY, SERVICE AND SATISFACTION' You will be assured of the same happy business relations which have at all limes characterized the dealings of the Kootenay Steam Laundry and its Trail patrons.
