Two Hundred and Fifty Men Putting Finishing Touchet���Quarter Million Feet Daily Cut. Mr. Shepherd Think* that Oil Burner* in Fruhling Would Be III Advised ���Letter. NEW IMPERIAL APPEAL COURT Against the background of a colossal unpainted steel roofed structure reared upon the bank of the river, a white jet of cloudy steam shot skyward and the long drawn note of the siren a moment later proclaimed that lt was time for two hundred and fifty men to take up the burden of their daily toil. This seemingly commonplace Incident which occurred yesterday morning at the plant of the British Canadian Lumber company, now under construction ou Lulu Island was remarkable on account of the fact that it was the flrst time the whistle had ever awakened the echoe3 cf the island. It heralded also, to all and sundry, that the completion of the mill was approaching, and that very soon the capacious engine room would hum and pant and sweat with mechanical life, that the wheel 3 and saws would soon be turning in the saw mill and that the fallen levan- thians of the forest would come dripping up the chute from Father Eraser to be sawed and hacked and trimmed and shaped into the sizes of finished lumber that man had devised means to manufacture. Site and Cost. It is nearly a year ago since the British Canadian Lumber company cf Vancouver, a ccrroration composed of Canadian and old country interests, as the name would imply, first com- menoed construction work upon the mill. Korty acres of ground was purchased and plans were envolved for the erection of a mill capable cf competing with such mammoth concern-. as the Fraser Mills, and other Industries of a lll��> nature operating on the river. The cost of the plant was estimated tri bo considerably over n million and a half dollar*, and the equipment wan planned to be on a par with nny on the Paoinc coast aa far na modernity and excellence waa cpnerned. Today the plant stands completed with the exception of about two week-, work, and it is anticipated by the mill Officials that thc 31st day of the present month will see the plant in active operation and turnlm: out Its quota of 250,1.00 feet of sawed lumber per 'lay. Mr. J. H. McDonald, manager of the plant, accompanied a . representative of this paper on a trip through the mill yesterdav morning for the purpose of explaining all the aallanl points and feature* Included in<V construction. In Engine Room. The engine room which Is built of steel and concrete with no Inflammable material of any description In the make up. Is fitted with eight 72 inch by IS fct boilera tested to a pressure of 1G5 pounds to the square Inch. These boilers were supplied bv the Vancouver Engineering Works and are encased in "Dutch" settings. The furnaces are fed automatically, eight separate chutes carrying fuel directly Into tho flre box where It Is distributed by an electrically operated flipper In such a manner that the flres remain at a uniform heat. From thn furnaces a natura' draught smoke stack rises to a height of 125 feet, screened at the top with heavy wire to obviate any danger from flying suarks and embers. Li'-htlnq and Power. Operated by the big steam plant In the engine room proper, there Is a turbine elect rie generator of 1500 kilowatts capacity. This machine transmits power to the various dynamos operating the saws, planers, carriers and edgera and Is the largest of Its kind installed in any mill In Canada. The power antl-frlotlon system ln use In the plant Ib original In mill construction on the coast, as Instead of the usual lines of shafting and thousands of yards of belting ln the old stylo mills, electric dynamos are attached directly to the various machines thereby practically eliminating friction and loss of power.

Nanaimo, Aug. 8.���A proposition having been made that the Dominion dredge Fruhling,' now working on the Fraaer river, should be converted Into an oil burner, a request haa been sent to the minister of public works by Mr. Shepherd, member for Nanaimo dlatrict, that the question should be further considered before final action Is taken. Mr. Taylor, the member for New Weatmlnster, ls also endeavoring to influence the minister against the change. Mr. Shepherd's letter to Hon. F. D. Monk ls as follows: Dear Mr. Monk,���I understand thai your department proposes to convert the dredge Fruhling into an oil burner. 1 fully believe that for fishery cruisers, where smoke would defeat the very object of the patrol, that the installation of oil burners would be a decided advantage, but for a dredger, which is stoked and operated In a province where the production of coal i.s the main industry, I think the proposed change is ill advised. I trust, therefore, that you will, hefore arranging for this change, give this matter your earnest and careful consideration. In any event I would suggest that the matter be deferred until we may have an opportunity to discuss the proposed change in all its hearings. Believe me, vottrs verv truly. F. H. SHEPHERD, M.P.

The fruit crop never looked better ln British Columbia, and not only district and commercial exhibits will be in evidence at New Westminster in great numbers* but there will be a larger showing of single box exhibits than there has ever been in the past. The last named is for the reason, principally, that the exhibition authorities have made special provisions this year in the prize lists for this class of exhibit, making the list so attractive that the men who grow the "big red apple" simple cannot keep out. As a result of the trip the following: exhibits have already been arranged for: District and district fruit exhibit from Enderby; district fruit and potato exhibit from Armstrong; and fruit exhibits from Peachland.

The Victoria paper protested to tho heads of the department against taking to the mainland poaching boats captured by the Newington. They will ln future be taken to Esquimau. The reason of their removal to New Westminster was that tt was feared that If they remained at Esquimalt tliey would be Injured by teredoes.

John Douglas and Patrick McGee, two employees of the Westminster Gas company, appeared before Magistrate Edmonds ln the police court yesterday morning on charges of tearing up the city streets without a permit... The information was laid under the summary convictions act of the criminal code of Canada, and the case itself Is the outcome of recent friction between the city and James Cunningham of the Gas company. Ajfter learning the evidence submit ted;' and the arguments of Mr. Adam S. Johnston and Georgo E. Martin, the opposing counsels, the magistrate dis missed both the nccused, declaring that the case was one for the civil courts and not a matter for criminal procedure at all. v Mr. George E. Marlin, one of the firm of Martin, McQuarrie & Cassady. city solicitors, who conducted the case for tho prosecatlon, brought forward section 2114 of the criminal code as his authority In preferring the charge. Mr. Martin pointed out that the clause was very conclusive on the question of disturbing City streets. City Engineer Blackman took the stand as a witness for the prosecution and said that no application for a permit had been made by the gas com pany previous to starting the work on Hoyal avenuo last Monday. ���- Mr. Adnw S.

Thelma and the Ilonlta. which wero captured by the patrol boot Newington two weeks ago,, TNey are still lying at the Sapperton wharf. London, Aug. 8.���-Lord Charles Beresford, speaking at Evesham yesterday, had many unkind things to say of Winston Churchill, whom he characterized as the most eccentric Individual who had ever been entrusted with the naval executive, "He has occupied tho position eight months and proved a miserable failure. He speaka of looking at things wltb a modern eye, but the flrst necessity la to see straight. With unaccountable Insolence Winston Churchill took charge of the recent Splthead naval review, which resulted ln chaotic disorganisation. "The German menaoe wks. in his opinion, so serious that to withdraw the whole fleet to protect the heart of the Empire would mean leaving one armored cruiser only responsible for the Mediterranean. We cannot at present put up a flght." continued Lord Charles, "and shall not be ready for one for some time to come."

He will leave for Vancouver to look over tho ground before he gives his final decision. Corroborative evidence is given by the fact that this a sudden trip of Prof. Shortt'a as he Intended to stay some days ln Victoria. His original work ln the west waa to arrange for an additional census for the civil service examinations this fall, and also In connection with hi* hts appointment under order of council as one of the commissioners to enquire Into statistical work now being carried on In various federal government departments.

British Admiralty's Announcement Presents Wide Opportunity to Lower Deck. London. Aug. S.���Important and tar- ��� reaching changes bave been announced by the British admiralty regarding the scheme of promotion fn the British navy. In the future the ranks of the navy will be given an opportunity to show their worth and take their places upon the upper decks. The announcement Is to the effect that the admiralty will open commissions to the men ot the lower decft. At the present time there aro over 100 vacancies for officers under SS years of age. The revolution in Uie promotion system provides that ability shown by the ordinary bluejacket of the lower deck will enable a rise even as high as the poat of commander. The fact that there are 1W�� rtral- tions at the present time, clearly shows that tbe admiralty ls finding U hard to suitably All the spare ptoons on the officer's list, while at Uie same time demonstrates that tbe authorities are beginning to realize that there are capable' officers among ttie. seamen ln the navy. Still further the scheme proposed provides for the automatic promotion of all warrant officers after flfteen years service. These promotions will mean the granting of commissions tt�� the former warrant officers. CPECTACULAR THIEF Run* Off with Auto, Knock* Down Man and Escapes. Vancouver.

Of all the powers, Russia and Italy are the two which have most Influence at Cettinge, and they are acting in perfect agi eement with the object of preventing war, while liritain and Austria are exercising pressure at Constantinople for the same, purpose. Mr. Popovitch, the Montenegrin consul at Rome, in an interview published In the Tribuna today, says he has little confidence In the capability of diplomatists to stave elf a conflic' between Montenegro and Turkey. "Montenegro." said he, "has ready on a war footing eighty thousand men with excellent artillery. Every tarn- | ily in the country is organised on tin ! military principle. I "Montenegro's territory has been invaded by the Turk3, who are seek ing to obtain, at our expense, some compensation for the losses inflicted on them by the Italians and the hu- ! miliation they have been -oiibjected to j by the Albanians. I "In consequence of this, Italy will have a good ally. Public opinion ir Montenegro is exasperated and will I insist upon complete reparation for the threats made by the Turks of an invasion of Montenegro by Turkish troops." E. H.

Aug. 8.���Arising out of the comparative failure of the Vancouver project for the utilization of the Eg- eria as a training ship for boys, a de- nutation representing the British Columbia Navy League waited upon Sir Richard McBride yesterday, with two alternative Proposals in regard to the future of the former warship. The desire of the league, as expressed hy the members of the deput atlon. is that either the government take over the vessel and conduct it in connection with a technical education system, or pay to present trustees of the scheme the amount of the government school grant, which would be nav-able to some school hoard In behalf of the boys on the Egerla. The views of the league were put before the premier by Mr. S. C. P. Wolley. president of the now federated leagues and of the Victoria and Esquimalt branch; Mr. William Blakemore. secretary or the federation; the Bishop of Columbia. Mr. T. E. Julian, rep resenting the Vancouver branch, and Mr. George A. Kirk. In reply to the premier, Mr. Julian estimated the expense of training om hundred or one hundred and fifty boys at about $800 a month, or, say, $12,00 a yi ar, 8'r Richard, who received the dOPU tation very sympathetically and ds cussed several features of the matter with them, promised to give an ( arly answer after he had an opportunity t' consult with his colleagues. He reminded the deputation, however, that the purchase of the vessel from the Admiral tv and that at that time il was understood and agreed to bv those connected with the matter tha' no demand should be made for anything towards the upkeep of the ship.

Aug. 8.���All ot the West In dlan colonies, concerned In the conference ol laat winter, have now ratified tho agreement and It only re mains for the Canad'an parliament tc do the same. The agreement will be laid before parliament as soon as i'. assembles and ratification will be an early item on the government program. The disposing of the trade agree ment proper, clears the way for twe other Important subjects pertaining tc West Indies steamship communica tlon and cable connection. With re gard to each of these Canada agreed to co-operate vigorously with the col onies in obtaining an improvement of present conditions. With regard to steamship subsidies the Canadian Government has under taken to considerably Increase Its expenditure to promote a better service Tenders have been called for, to be handed in by Oct. 1, and the steam shio companies competing have been Invited to submit a variety of proposals, the entire problem being complicated. There are two main services to arrange for, one from Canada to Demerara via the line of colonies known as the Leeward Islanda, the other from Canada to Jamaica. It is fairly certain that the cable rates will be materially reduced. The understanding now existing is that the expenditure of public money nee essary is to be borne, one-third bv Great Britain, one-th'rd by Canad- and one-third by the We3t Indian colonies. W. R.

The preamble says: "We, of the Progressive party, dedicate ourselves to the fulfilment of the duty laid upon ub by our fathers to maintain that government of the people by the people and for the people, whose foundation they laid." Referring to Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln as the past representatives of the people who declared the people to be the masters of the constitution and held it their duty to safeguard it from those who, by perversion of Its Intent, would convert the constitution Into an Instrument of Injustice.

Burton Amendment to Ctrike Out the Clause Favoring American Chips Defeated. Washington, Aug. 9.���By a vote of 44 to 11 the senale late yesterday refused to strike from the Panama canal bill the provision exempting American ships from payment of tolls for passage through the Panama canal. Debate on the question had continued from 1 p. m. until nearly midnight. The senate then adjourned until tomorrow, without voting on the bill itself. The defeat of the Burton amendment to strike out the discrimination in favor of American ships was the senate's defiant answer to the protest of the' British Government against tbe legislation. It was this clause of the bill which led Great Britain to send a formal protest to the state department. The senators who voted In favor of the Burton amendment are Bran- dege, Burton, Crane, Fall, Gronna, Lodge. Nelson, Oliver, Penrose, Root and Wetmore. Just before the vote was taken Senator Cummins made an Impassioned speech ln which he charged senators who interpreted the Hay- Pauncefote treaty as denying to the United States the power of discriminate In favor of Its own ships with giving an Interpretation which they knew the American people would not observe. He said the question of power was one that could not be arbitrated and should diplomacy fail in Its settle- away the abuses and to build a new j menVwar would beTthe final arbiter, and a nobler commonwealth. It declares, under the heading "The Rule of the People," for direct primaries for the nomination of state and national offices and for the popular election of U.

WORTH THE WHILE One of the most striking of the happenings of this present year ha3 been the visit ot one or other of the gentlemen In whose hand3 is entrusted the ordering of affairs which intimately ..affect those whose lives and work are ���set in many cases, thousands of mil@3 :away from the place whence these orders emanate. Personal inspection is well worth the trouble, time and labor it involves, .amd this sentiment was given voice to by Hon. Mr. Cochrane, minister or railways and canals, on his recent visit here. It is very different, as he remarked, to sitting in one's office at Ottawa, and receiving deputation after deputation, and trying to size up the situation with the aid of maps .and other data.

The man who made a machine that could sail through the air by mechanical power in 1348, and exhibited a jnore complete machine in 1S68, received the congratulations of his late Majesty King Edward, then Prince of Wales, and was honored in many ways.' As his' chief triumph was in reducing the weight of his engine there was little or no advancement until the .gasoline engine made a mechanical revolution In that regard. Mr. String- fellow's comparatively modest though important achievement has been superseded hy record-breaking flights in height, speed, distance and duration, toy passenger-carrying and various otber achievements. But British love -of fair play Is according him the honors of a pioneer, and there ls a movement on foot to mark fittingly hls last resting place in Chard with a monument attesting his success as the .builder of the lirst aeroplane. This tribute is freely paid by the British Press at a time when public opinion is revolting against tlie lamentable record of fatal accidents in aerial navigation. It is questionable if tThv prrat dangi-r of such work can ever be averted. The air is disturbed by many unseen currents, which ���vxpiUtin sudden collapses that have occurred under seemingly favorable circumstances. While a collapse means ��k*at.h the record of laialities will be high. Someone may invent a safety adfwlcc that, will serve the purpose of a ���parai?hlite. It"would be bold to limit the possibilities of invention in any Held. A cause of public disapproval may be removed by an international agreement classing" the aeroplane in war with the explosive bullet and the poisoned weapon. Let inventors honor the pioneer by turning the'r attention from record-breaking and engines of destruction to safety devices. The public will not give material support to aerial navigation while it entails the frequent sacrifice of human life. -Toronto Globe.

HmjjjMiW^ 19 BUNGALOWS and 44 other Valuable Real Estate Prizes to be GIVEN AWAY Absolutely Free to Purchasers of LOTS in I have a way of doing business that my friends tell me doesn't make enough money. I believe differently. I depend upon a whole lot of sales at a small profit, rather than a few with large profits. In other words, I give you more for your money . than anyone else will. Read the rest of this and see how I do business. The first piece of property I have to sell is Cumberland Park, out on Burnaby Lake. It's not very large, only one hundred and twenty lots. First I am clearing it, so you can live there right now, and start a garden if you want to. Then I contracted for a store building, with living rooms upstairs, to cost $1500 to build, and also for nineteen bungalows that are costing me from $4C0 up to $750 to build. Two of the house stand cn $900 lots, the others are on $500 lots. That leaves one hundred vacant lots, and as ihe Burnaby Lake tram line runs right through the property, from one corner down to the other, I had to make the lots different sizes. Some of them Ere 33 foot frontage, others are as much as 140 foot front. These lets are worth from $500 to $1150 each. I am selling all these lots, those with the houses included, for $500 each. Here is the way it works out. There are 44 lots worth from $550 to $1150 each. There are twenty buildings, together with the lots they are built on, worth from $900 to $2000. I will sell you a lot for $500. When the 120 pieces are sold, this, of course, includes those with the buildings, you will meet in my office and decide with the others, just how you want the prizes distributed. That's the way I do business. I won't have any blanks where there is a chance for you to lose a cent. I haven't put a lot in that is worth , less than the full amount you pay for it, $500. I am going to give yOU easy terms On this tOO, $50.00 down and $15.00 a month. Now wouldn't you like to have a home on Burnaby Lake. It's tbe only fresh water lake in Greater Vancouver. I tell you it's going to be fine out there. The engineers are working on plans now to put a Boulevard around it, and beautify it in many ways. You can really live there. You can have a garden and raise your own fresh vegetables. You can have a boat on the lake. Ther's some fishing too. Now I have told you about this as plainly as I know how. You can see for yourself that you have better than one chance it two of getting more than your money's worth, and you might get the $1900 piece; someone will. Come in and see about this right away. They won't last very long. I can't say any more, it's up to you now. I have given you the chance. E. H. McELROY, Selling Agent, 455 Hamilton Street, Vancouver.

Intense Interest Throughout Whole Lower Mainland Points to Record Game. Disappointed with the showing the Vancouver home made against the .

The selection committee of the green shirts, consisting of Lalonde, Godfrey and Griffith, are keeping things under their headgear these days, but a shake-up In thdir ranks is expected. Meanwhile the Salmon Bellies are confidently awaiting the foe. Owing to the heavy rainstorm last night tlie players were not called upon to hold a practice, but, according to the trainer, the Royals were never in better shape than they are now. The showing made by the Fraser boys last week has awakened interest not only ln New Westminster and Vancouver, but throughout the whole of the lower mainland, and everything points to a good crowd turning out tomorrow afternoon to witness the struggle. Enquiries and reservations are coming in from different points on Vancouver island so tense is the situation at the present slage. TONIGHT'S LACROCSE Reorganized Team Is Expected to Down Fairviews.

There ls something lacking and that something, it ls generally whispered. Is the old reliable Shamrocks, Cornwall and Capital clubs. The lacrosse fans mlss them. Wben the Shamrocks visited Toronto every Irishman ln the city felt It a duty to go out and aee them play.

He has been training for several weeks at a quiet New Jersey resort, having agreed to box Al Palzer in New York, hut all this work has been in vain, for the reason that Palzer, badly advised, is trying to avoid a meeting. McCar- ty's manager, William McCarney, who has vainly tried to corner Palzer and his advisers, declared yesterday that McCarty has as much right to a match with Jack Johnson as Palzer. Accordingly'he wired Johnson asking him to box ten rounds with McCarty and promising the negro champion a guarantee of ��20,0uu. | ''It is as plain as day, that Palzer is afraid of McCarty," said McCarney. "He told me himself that he did not want to take any chances with McCarty. He knows that McCarty can hit harder than Bombardier WellB, 1 and he doesn't want to be knocked out in a round. Palzer would have about as much show with Jack Johnson as a small boy with a cannibal. It is absurd to talk of such a fight, but while we are at It McCarty intends to cut Palzer out If the negro is willing to talk business."

The recent sale of the plants it ths Canada Coating MWls and the Georgetown Paper Mill-r. at Georgetown, Ontario, in which John R. Barl.er, ex- M.P.P. was the largest shareholder, to the Barber Paper ft Coating Mills Co., which was lately organized, ie- calls several incidents in tba career of Canada's veteran paper manufacturer. Mr. Burlier, ���ho next month will celebrate his seventy-first birthday, has had a long and active record, being continuously identified with the trade for over half a century. William Barber, who was his ui|cle, established the Georgetown mill in IS5!i and at that time there were only Hire- news : plants in the Dominion, the Don mill 1 near Toronto operated by the ^aylor?, Iieing one of them. James Barber, a brother of the founder ol the mill, and father of J< lm R., was the lirst man ' in Canada to learn the paper making i trade. This was Bway l��ck in l*3f). i Paper was made by hand in thos* 'days, nnd with bis sieve, va' and blanket. Jame-�� Ba'ber was an expert in its production. In \*Si. an al-ctri- cal plant on the Credit river was installed for driving part of the machinery of the mill and was the first hydro-electric concern started in Canada for the transmission of power for transportation and industrial purposes. In the early sixties news print and book psrv>r was made at Ceorge- town from wheat, oat and rve straw, instead of the ground wood and sulphite pulp that we have to-day. Corn stalks were also used for a time hut the supply locally being limited, they had to be aband med. Later i n news print was mnde of rags and was better in grade and texture than much of the book papier of the present time. What would Canadian newspaper (publishers think to-day if, in.-tead of paying about two and a quarter cents ���for their sunply. they bad to buy it at eleven and twelve cents per pound. Vet many years ago dailies were furnished with news print from the Barber plant at this figure. The Grand Trunk Railway was just heing completed between Toronto and Georgetown In the middle fifties wben the Barber mill began business, and the first shipment to Toronto was three carloads of wrapping paper, drawn by ii wood burning locomotive. Mr. Barber and several ni3ii from the mill rode on the flat cars, having several buckets of water close at hand to prevent the paper from taking tire owing to the myriads of flying sparks.���Saturday Night.
