London, Mny 15.���������Addressing his constituents nt Birmingham tonight, coloni.il secretary t.'li.enihei lain iimde nn important speech, which seems lo foreshadow the direct raising of the question of free trncle versus protection at the next general election. The colonial *,ecielury proceeded stiongly to urge the necessity, in ordei to pics,eive the gient empire, thnt the ti.ielc of lhe colonies s-hrmld he secured. Cui.ul.i hud ottered exception,el rid vantages, he said, which Gient Biilniii did not date accept, heciiuse of the narrow interpretation of the doctrine ol free trade, the policy of dictation nnd the ititurlerence by foreign puivets. The .peiiker snid he believed that an entirely wrong interpretation had been pUced upon lhe doctrine of fiee trade, lint thtt the country ought not to be bound hy this and it should not hesitate to resort to letalintion, il nec-essaiy, wherever the interests between the colonic, and the home country weie tbietitened. He pointed out thnt Bright had niipioved of a preferential treaty wilh France, and snid: \"There nre two alternatives hefoie you. First���������To maintain the free trade policy in all its sieverity, although itis repudiated by every other nation and your colonies. Second���������To insist that wc he not bound by any piirxly technical definition of lice trade. While we seek the one chief object, the free interchange of couimeice between ourselves and all the nations of the world, we. will nevertheless recover our freedom, resume lhe power of negotiations, mid if necessary of retaliation.\" In conclusion the colonial secretary said- it-was an \"issue gmver in its consequences than mere local disputes.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE John Brennan Walks out .of the Central Hotel two Weeks ago and has not Been Seen Since. The friends of Mr. John Brennan; the well known miner and prospector, are much concerned at his mysterious disappearance. He is one of the best known prospectors of the Lardeau country having\" been exploring that district for a number of years, particularly what is now known as Fish river camp. Some time- ago in association with Cory Menhenick and J. J. Foli-y of Arrowhead, he disposed of his interests in two claims, believed to be the Kossland and Balfour, part of the well known Eva group, to the Imperial Development Syndicate, and, it is stated receiv-d two out of three payments on the purchase price. Ahout a month ago he came to Ihis city and registered at the Central Hotel where ne remained until about two weeks since. ' ' . About the sixth, instant, without , any warning to hi\" friends or the hotel proprietor he suddenly disappeared and has not heen seen or heard or since. Tho only possible reason obtainable for his actions ia a statement made to home people round the hotel, abe-iit a day or two boforo. that he Intended to drown himself. This remark waa not taken seriously by those who heard it,'as Mr. Brennan appeared to be in fcjood spirits and was, it ia believed, in possession of ample funds to meet all liabilities. He is not known to have had trouble of any description. His continued absence has caused numerous enquiries to be made by the Chief of Police and others at Arrowhead, Wigwam and other places where he was Known, but no information as to his wbereal o its has been elicited. His friends there fore feel that he may have carried ort his threat to drown himself, although no evidence of such a character baa been found. It is possible that there may be another solution of the mystery, however, as Mr. Brennan has been somewhat erratic in his movemen s on previous occasions. A year or s> ago he left Arrowhead without notice and caused considerable worry to his friends until was located here. At that time he left at midnight and was supposed to huve gone to bed until a rumour was circulated that he was seen the next morning at Wigw-un. wh -*.

A motion by Hon. Wm. Patterson provides for many important changes in the customs laws. The preamble to thc Grand Trunk Pacific Bill has passed the Railway Committee, coinitting thc Government to thc principle.

May 20���������(Special)��������� Only two witnesses of import.tnceweie examined last week before the special committee. Hon. D. M. Eberts and Sir Thomas Shaughnessy. Mr. Eberts' testimony hud several sensational features,' notably the statement Ihat all along he had believed theC.and W. were entitled to the lands granted hy the Older in Council now \"rescinded by Bill No. 10 recently assented to. In very many matters he flatly contradicted the Chief Commissioner, notably regarding lhe alleged telegram from W. J. Tayloi from Montreal originally suggesting the deal. He had always thought Mr. Wells' conduct in bringing back the deeds fiom Monor-eal was a gross breach of faith,us he considered their preparation, signature and sealing constituted delivery to the company. This was also his Deputy's opinion. He challenged the statement that Diinsmuir had insisted on the extension of the road from Midway to Spences Bridge heing a condition precedent to delivery of the grants, and generally supported the accounts of the transaction given by G. McL Brown. SirThos.Shaughnessy'sexamination, which was commenced yesterday afternoon and is not yet concluded, was even more strong than had been indicated' by press despatches. In addition to his own testimony he produced important documentary evidence, Mr. G. McL. Brown's report to him of the executive meeting of March 24th, 1002, when the-Big row was 'on between that gentleman and the government. ��������� It is a long detailed statement ot the. conversations' characteristic* expressions., of, the* ministers heing set out-in-fulK.-,,^^**���������������*_'-.' ��������� If-this report is correct tlie, ministers gave politicafexpediericy, as their sole] reason for- 'cancelling^.* the (- Crown grants arid Mr. Brown then stated that he fully agreed with Sir Thos. Shaughnessy's telegram 'that.' 'the Government were doing things which in private life were dishonourable. All the members of the cabinet were present at the meeting. The report also stated that during private conversations in the Driarcl Mr. Wells did not deny the bad faith but said \"Well, we are up against it and had to.\". Sir Thos. Shaugnessy swore, also, that the only ground given for witholding the original grants when Mr. Wells saw him ni Montreal was political expediency and also that the Company's solicitor had advised him that the sealing of the grants was delivery, actual handing over not being required. He had trusted Mr. Wells with the Crown grants as he had explicitly promised to' hand them over as soon as the 'cabinet vacancy was filled, in any event, not later than a month. Mr. Wells asked to retain them as a great compliment. He fully concurred in the statement that the whole recession was dishonourable and thought - thc government hod been guilty of the grossest bad faith. It is expected that his cross examination tomorrow will envolve further further sensational evidence, ns the question of tangible handing* over .will.be-takenjup. : -_^ JOLY suspicious Victoria, May 20.���������(Special correspondence.)���������Tho House has been further adjourned until Tuesday next as the C- & W.

Nothing was heard from them beyond the fait that their little brown spaniel returned to Beaver two days aftei thev left, wheie it has since remained. Before going to Beaver they purchased their supplies from Charles Warren, of Golden, lint he is unable to recall their names. The vicinity of Surprise Kapids is one of the most dangeronv places in the Upper Columbia, the stieam being extremely swift. Any boat striking a snag would surely be upset and, owing to the terrible riirrent, its occupants drowned.

A Cat's Whiskers. Nature Is an economical dame, and never indulges in useless gifts. If she giv-S an animal or plant an \"appendage of any kind we may be sure that It verves some wise purpose. Take a cat's whiskers, for Instance, which may seem to you to be merely ornamental. They are organs of touch attacked to a bed of fine glands undei the skin, and each of these long hairs Is connected with the nerves of the lip. .The slightest contact of these whiskeri ���������with any, surrounding object is thui felt most distinctly by the animal, although the hairs themselves are Insensible.

If we imagine, therefore, a lion stealing througt a covert of wood in an imperfect llghtc we shall at once see t'he use of thest long Hairs.

The editor of the magazine rightly acclaims Lady Minto aa \"m-i-ster\" of tho art of skating. Years ago in London society she established a repute in this respect. Kow she iiiids' h--itelf in Canada, and she realizes tliat a'tl'ougli the skating rinks of tire West tnd are better than nothing, it is to such a. land as Canada, with it- open-air skirting, that the skater must go for true enjoyment. For weeks togetlrer iu (.'-inuda clear, frosty weather prevails, and tlie skater need feel no anxiety le-t nrr untimely thaw should conic and mar his pleasure.

Imagine the same, but instead of Iflie brilliant rays of the sun, the silvery light of the \"moon tlnowing dark, mysterious shadows on-all around as the skaters, each holding a blazing torch, dash to and fro over the glassy surface, sending a weird, fantastic glow as they flit through the dim, uncertain light. .With these surroundings, who can help being an enthusiast?\" In this matter of skating Government House leads the way; it possesses two open-air rinks.

For another word picture we quot-i the following: \"Sometimes at the beginning of tin winter, before the srrow has covered tin earth with pall of spotless white, a so rere frost turns these mighty Camidiai xivers and lakes into silent fields of crys ital ice; then the skaters can'enjoy tin supreme pleasure of gliding for iniles oi ita clear surface, each heud of the rivei (unfolding fresh scenes on which to feas* \"their.eyes, and as evening approaches tin flow of the setting sun illuminates tin '���������whole landscape with a soft, rosy hue and the crimson ball of fire sinks bchini ���������the pale horizon, leaving tlie vast, white expanse in soft, gray twilight.

Tlie young bircli had enjoyed an independent growth, and it is supposed that years ago a'seed fell into; a hollow part of the old tree aird developed into a sapling, forcing its way up through the trunk of its parorit. The hollow was completely filled for a distance of several yards. This curious freak of nature is to be preserved.

THE MOTHER'S STORY. \"Alice,\" Mrs. Parker began, \"was always a delicate child from her birth. When she was twelve years old she was not any larger than an ordinary child would be at eight years old. But like many delicate children, Alice pulled along as delicate children will, till July, 1!)00. She was then thirteen years old. On July 7th she was taken seriously ill. lier eyelids swelled till she could hardly see, her legs swelled from her ankles to her kuues. I took her to a doctor, and he said she had Bright's Disease, and could not live long. Thc doctor tended her for about six weeks, but as she grew worse, I stopped the doctor and tried different kinds of patent medicines. But ail the time she just got worse and worse. Her sufferings had hy this j time become' so great tliat I again turned to thc doctors. This time I p tried another otic. He had no hesita- j tion in pronouncing her disease, Bright's Disease of the worst kind. | AI.ICi: MAUD IWKKCit Whone i-miar*, ,l,lu r.enwn from I'ri^hl**, D. _a.-c li.t, *l*c nil Ciui-tlt t-tlkin,.-. the disease had been thoroughly cleared out of the sjitcni.

HOW THE CURE BEGAN. \"She\" began taking Dodd's Kidney Pills on November 25th, and before she had finished the first box I \"could see a change for the better. By December 19th there was a marked improvement in her condition, but there was. a large gathering across the small of her back and ready to lance. When it was opened it emitted a quart of matter, besides blood and water. Again we feared for her life, and again the doctor warned me that she might die at.any moment.v But my faith in'Dodd's Kidney Pills had grown, and all through that long winter she took them regularly, and under the treatment continued to gain in sttength ^till' by. -April her back was well, and the 'swelling had all left her, though her urine when tested was milkey and at times it would curdle. '- ' ' f ' . * .\"Still she was 'vastly improved, and I was greatly encouraged, and continued to give her the Pills till November, when she appeared to he perfectly..well, and .was growing faster than she had done in years.\" ' A NEARLY FATAL MISTAKE. At this point Mrs. Parker nearly made a fatal mistake. She stopped the use of Dodd's Kidney. Pills before The doctors told me my daughter could not live._ When they knew ��������� I was giving her Dodd's Kidney Pills, they said that if they cured her ii would be one of the greatest miracles in the world, for the like had never been in this province or anywhere else. And Dodd's Kidney Pills did cure her. I gave her 70 boxes of,them altogether, hut they gave her life in return, and I feel that I cannot say enough for Dodd's Kidney Pills.\" THE SUMMING UP. This is the story of the famous Bright's Disease cure, as told by the mother of the sufferer herself. There can be no doubt as to 'the truth ef the story. Scores of people corroborate it. The case was thoroughly diagnosed by skilled physicians, who unhesitatingly _ pronounced Jt Bright's Disease. \" \"-> ' Neither can there be any doubt aa to what caused the cure. It was Dodd's Kidney Pills. For\", after the doctors had given the patient up for lost, Dodd's Kidney Pills were ths only medicine used. The fact remains that Dodd's Kidney Pills have cured Bright's Disease. And If Dodd's Kidney Pills can and do cure Bright's Disease, which is thc worst stage of. Kidney-Disease, liow sure must it be that they are a sovereign remedy for those earlier stage-, of Kidney Disease from which thousands of the Canadian people arc suffering?

Victoria tlie Good will ever lie the most honored name in the archives nf British history,\" and. as on Monday next, we join in celebrating VicLoria Day it will be as citizens of a far larger- and more cohesive empire than lionoied Britain's Hug at tlie birth of the late Queen. And the growth of Imperial loyalty has been in no small measure due to the life and actions of Victoria, for of all the leaders of the British democracy she was unquestionably the greatest. She never feared her people, she nevei hesit.-ited to part with private prejudice*, on tlieir behalf, and .'through all the changes of more than sixty years preserved lhe monarchy of Britain to be a source bf strength and inspiration to the empire. Thus she achieved a work which no publicist could have devised and no statesman have forseen. '���������3h_ wrought her people lasting good.\" \" LOCAL NEEDS In another column an interview with Thos. Taylor, .I.P.P., shows that he is pressing upon the Government the necessities of Kevelstoke and 'vicinity. A ferry across the river, aid towards the inception cf a manual -training school ..nnd.assistance tothe projected tramway round Death Kapids are all matters nf vital im- l*oitance to this city, -.nd the Board of Trade and City Council should see to it that his effort- be strengthened in every way possible. This object might lie achieved by the calling of a public meeting aud passing resolutions endorsing the local member'���������* views, but . whatever is done must be done 'quickly to secure action this session. THE DIAMOND DRILL. - This instrument lias, since its invention.been a most valuable adjunct to scientific mining, and, as its use is becoming more extended, many rich ore bodies have been discovered where their existence was little suspected. The latest development. of this character we have noticed in British Columbia is the location of a valuable body of ore some three hundred feet below the piesent workings of the Le Roi. The use of the diamond drill is almost* self evident. Suppose surface indications show what appears to be a mineral body of economic value, its permanence can be easily determined by prospecting holes sunk, at a comparatively small expense, by the instrument in question. In the case of a fault occurring on a vein in underground workings the ore can be relocated by the diamond drill without the inevitable dead work seeking it, even under the most competent niaiiagement, by crosscuts or sinking. Access to the use of such instruments would be of great benefit to Kootenay prospectors. If they were able to lay before capitalists not only assays showing good surface indications but, in addition, drill cores showing character of rock hundreds of feet below the surface, it is evident thu speculative feature or mining would lie greatly reduced. And not only this, the man with the pick and drill would receive a much higher figure for his prospect, or for an interest in it on a development basis. Such being tbe case, the question naturally arises, should not the Government assist irr the best way possible the prospecting of our mineral lands? Yes, must certainly he tlie answer. Ami irr what way could **uch assistance lie better giv-������n than by providing, under proper safeguards, that prospectors could have access to diamond drills for pros pec Ling work on their mineral claims. Tliis subject is not n. new one but seems recently to have dropped out of sight. Our reason for taking up the matter 'is very easily explained. We think it would be -not only a boon to prospectors, bub also a good business proposition, for the Government to purchase a number of the smaller class nf diamond drills, say, one or two for each mining division where prospecting for lode mines is actively engaged in. Such instruments could be placed in the cave of the Mining Recorder and loaned at a small figure to reliable men for exploitation purposes, proper conditions being ur-ide for return in good order. If objection were made to this method of assisting prospectors, we have no hesitation in saying that if the Government had a number of diamond drills, and experienced men. engaged to run them, the Department of Mines would be deluged by applications for such service from men ready and willing to pay the necessary expense. We commend tire foregoing suggestions to thecareful consideration of the Government. THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC BILL, It is admitted on all hands that another transcontinental road would lie of advantage to tbe Dominion, and also that to secure its construction 11 reasonable subsidy might lie given from the public funds. As such a proposition, thc Grand Trunk Pacific Bill now before the Federal Parliament should he criticised in no carping spirit; hut experience wilh other railway measures has shown thai* every detail of a scheme of this kind should be carefully scrutinized. The measure affects this Province .is no Bill of recent years could have done. If thc present proposals are carried out it will mean for British Columbia at some time two other transpro- vincial railways, one entering via* Yellowlicad Pass and terminating at Bute Inlet, and the other entering through the Peace Kiver Pass and ending at Fort Simpson. Tlie two branches in this Province are foreshadowed by the recent declaration of Sir Rivers Wilson that from Edmonton both the routes indicated would be utilized under the proposed charter. Beyond a forecast hy Mr. Tarte in LaPatrie, we are unacquainted with what aid is promised. His statement, however, was that there would be a cash subsidy of $fi000 per luile'foi* 3000 miles, or $15,000,000 in all. witli a further Dominion guarantee of interest at a. snllicient rate to secure flotation upon a capital of .30,000,- 000. As no present Minister lias made any statement as to the proposed subsidy we will not, at present, make any reference to the terms beyond slating that if the amounts given above are even approximately correct only very limited Provincialassistiince should be given, if any at all. ��������� Btrt the construction of railways in the north is au urgent necessity for British Columbia, and it is to this phase of the matter we wish to direct attention. When the Bill in question was before the Railway Committee 311'. C. .1. Hayes, General Manager of tire Grand Trunk Railway, stated that construction would be commenced from Winnipeg and continued east as that section of the country was more irr need of immediate transportation facilities ��������� than any other. Such a statement was not in accordance with I the facts aud yet we do not find the representatives from British Columbia calling attention to our provincial needs. If the Grand Ti unk Pacific is to be of material good to this Province without our waiting ii considerable number of years,-provision urust lie made for concurrent construction from the Pacific coast. And in urging the inclusion of a clause in the Bill providing this Messrs. Tenipleman, Galliher. McPherson. Morrison and Riley���������who have tbe ear of the Government���������would have only lieen doing their duty. But no, when this important matter was under discussion tbey were conspicuous by tlieir absence and fet the committee decide practically without discussion, that _construct.ion_frc*im_\\Vinnij*ieg_e.-LS_t_ _v*i__ the only necessity for the present, British Columbia being left ont in the culd. Tho Quebec and other Atlantic coast representatives were there in force to see about the eastern terminus hut the Pacific members never opened their mouths. On one memorable occasion Sir Wilfrid Laurier telegraphed \"Tlie views of Liberals in tbe west shall prevail,\" and wc can hardly blame him ^if he considers that the western members silence signified no particular views on the subject. This matter must he taken up by the local House and other public bodies in British Columbia. Let us impress on tlie Dominion Government that constructions of the Grand Trunk Pacific must be begun in this Province as soon as, if not sooner than anywhere else, and, if our representations are made with sufficient force, wc believe the charter will be hung up until such a necessary provision is inserted.

He forgot to mention salmon which has been steadily exported from the const for sumo years. If Hon. J. I.

There will also he a government, gii'triintee of interest on another $30,000,000, steel industry as a mirage. If this sort of thing goes on Andy will either die rich or burn up his dough. Simon Leiser, of Victoria, B. C, made a suggestion to the Labour Commission that the Dominion government take a hand in settling Dunsmuir- labour troubles. Whereat Chief Justice Hunter, the President, said they would have to know something moro about the west than they do at present. Proof positive of a deep seated feeling of injustice among provincial liberals. If a sermon were in order in this column a flue text would he \" Do good to them that despiteful!)* use you.\" Hon. W. C. Wells let hia colleagues in tho cabinet, think, for a month after liis return from Montreal, that the deal had bevn consummated and the Crown grants delivered to the C. and W. Railway. Then he casually informed Prentice who casually told Dunsmuir. Which proves that you uuist use lorfg ropes to haul things out of Wells. SHAFTS AND STOPES R. F. Tolmie's appointment as deputy minister of mine's, was gazetted last weak, which shows conclusively tnat the Herald's contention as to his previous tenure of office being illegal was correct. No one called the Mail's five dollar bluff for a news item, consequently \"our esteemed\" hnd no news: A sheet called the Kootenay Mall. Saw news for its news column* fail, Though it offered a prize Five dollars in size For an item Ihat wasn't quite stale. In .connection with the article in the Herald last week regaiding the Flathead river coal oil lands, just ���������outh of the line these fields are being exploited hy Montana capitalists. Two holes have been bored nearly 1000 feet, and a third plant, with COOO feet capacity, will start at once. In Montana the wells are in the ground; in-B. C, unfortunately, Wells is in the cabinet. That man Greenshields has bobbed up again in the C. & W. investigation. But he was too tough a proposition for even the C. P. R. Now the question arises-what had the .C. & W. to do with the New- Westminster bridge? That's what his fees were charged to. * \"Very many of the evils that afflict society nre the result of- the pettiness or the cupidity of little.men.\"���������Toron to Globe. * Wells is a little man. \"'- Fire caused the destruction of about $600,000worth\"of property in Ottawa last week. This is the second big fire since the Liberals came into power. The Musical Cycle has come and gone but a letter from C. A. E.

Are there not enough music lovers.in Kootenay who will practice separately but unite on one place for a production in the interior? All needy is energy and a little self sacrifice. Fish River Contractors Bodine and Thompson are progressing well with the intermediate tunnel on the Beatrice. From all indications the ore body will be struck shortly. It is practically certain the ten stamp mill on the Eva will be in operation hy the beginning of next month.' All preparations, including right of way dam, etc., outside the mill itself havo already been completed. On tire Goldfinch at Goldfields Manager Blackwell is rushing development with all speed. Large quantities of $20 to $30 quartz are being blocked out and when the mill starts running steadily, about June oth, there will be a large output of gold. Many miners nre going in to work the high grade free gold properties in this camp. . Goldfields and Camborne are growing i*apidly. SLOCAN Ore shipments to May 15th were 5S00 tons. The Payne Company held.its meeting in Montreal the other day when the manager submitted a most satisfactory report. He expects the new mill to be running by 1st June, and states that the present average of 300 tons of high grade concentrates per month will be greatly augmented in the near future. Frank Pyman is progressing well with his contract for the tunnel on the Capella. c* BOUNDARY The Old Ironsides and Knob Hill have now been connected by No 3 tunnel of the. Granby, workings. It is reported that a six \" inch vein of telluride ore has been found in the E plurihus unum mine, -Greenwood, which runs $3140.00 to the ton. ���������- The new' Superintendent of the Mother Lode smelter at Greenwood, is J. E. McAllister. He formerly occupied a similar position nt Copper- ville, Tenn. ' ��������� ' ' The Suowshoe is gradually extending development and employing more men. About 1st June shipments to the Sunset will be resumed. ROSSLAND The Le Roi has been conducting diamond drill prospecting for ' some time. The latest result is the location of a remarkably rich body of ore some 300 feet below the present workings. Dept. of Publicity. Whenever an exhibition like th World's Fair, or Pan-American is mooted theiv first department to receive attention is the Department of Publicity.

As Mark Twain said regarding the Em - pire, \"Blessed are the meek for they khall inherit the earth.\" Sydney, O.B., has thrown Carnegie's gold brick in the old reprobate's face. He characterised the Sydney iron and extent' by the Northern immigrants who have settled at Pinebiuff, N. C., the new winter health resort located just six miles South of Southern Pines the famous winter resort wher* thousands of Northerners go each winter. The peanuts grow on a little plant that looks like it might be a cross between the sweet potato and tomato vine. The peanut, like the tomato, has a- blossom on the vine, from the blossom shoots downward a needlelike branch that enters the ground and from tlie tip end, soon after it enters the soil, begins to form a little soft oblong pod that finally develops into the full grown peanut. The vine spreads out on the ground somewhat similar to a cucumber, covering, however, a space much smaller than the cucumber, only about two feet in diameter. Tlie settlers at Pinebiuff have sent up North specimen vines of the peanuts to their friends, and they have been shown around wilh much interest; and recently there has been a demand for the vine from the schools up North so as to show an object lesson to the children and many of the vines have been furnished the schools by John T. Patrick, Agent of the Seaboard Air Line Railway, located at Pinebiuff. A demand has been made on him by the schools for cotton plants as they grow and rice as well as peanuts, and he has promptly responded to their demand, in fact Mr. Patrick has added many interesting specimens to the schools and private collections North. Ho has a private collection at Pinebiuff r'orth going South to see.

With much exertion, therefore, and limping along in a very chastened mood, Astley directed hia steps, motor nnd nil, towards a riverside inn which he knew, where he proposed to leave tho ear for tile time, and to get rest and refresh* aient for himself, before returning into the town. Never had he seen the place so deserted. Not so much ns a tramp did he meet to give him a hand Qn his way. Blowly, painfully, with laborious steps, lie pushed the vehicle along, filled with that deep sense of humiliation and abasement of which the Englishman becomes conscious when, after forsaking bis true friend the horse, and taking up with the modern substitute, that substitute breaks down and, so to speak, tfcunts him with his inconstancy. When he had got so near the'inn that _. shout would have brought someone out to him, Astley paused a moment, ������nd gave a look round him. The anow wns beginning to drive down at a faster rate; the wind was whirling the flakes round before dropping them In little feathery clumps wherever there ..was. a nook or n hole to he filled. Already a. cloudy rail hung between him and tho river, which was running fust and look- in-; black as it ran. There was just one figure in sight, and Astlcy watched it with the interest to Which its lonely position entitled it. It was that of a wo,nan, apparently a ������������������light young girl, who, with her hat pressed down tightly with one hand, and Ber skirts blown round her like a shenth, Was running like a hire with the wind, ���������long the towing-palli and towards tho hand-bridge which crossed the river, a little below this point, past an old water- ���������fain. He was much too far off to see her \"lace, but something in the woman's walk and manner made Astley' look again, -and presently made him leave.his'motor- tap, to hobble a few steps in the direction in which she had gone, to look at her again. And the more he looked, the more interested he became. The woman reached the bridge, stepped on it, stopped short, turned once, turned twice, hesitated, came off the bridge again, and stood for a few moments looking down .;t the water. Then again she made a d.-*������h for the bridge, crossed it, and disappeared in the veil of mow. Astley hnd by this time made up his ���������mind to follow her. Something in his ���������wn eireum-fanees rt that time made Bim take a speeinl interest, of a cynically bitter rather thai- a benevolent sort, fa the doings of any woman oi-eccentric tendency. So he crossed the bridge, and turned to the right, and saw the same figure again, this time close to the racing -water. She did not see hi.i. She did nothear fcim. The snow \\v_-= driving, the wind ���������was roaring and'whistling in the leafies3 trees, and she walked along the bank quickly, without a look behind. Then suddenly she stopped. Whether she was blinded by t: e snow, or whether she did it of her own free will she never told; but the next moment she was down the bank and in thc water. Astley was near enough to scramble down the bank after her, to snatch afc her dress, to seize it. and to hold on, wet-iJicpugh himself, until, somehow or ,_ther,=^_ith___av.er_____w______tly_-J_j_c,_ they both found th'tnselvcs, dripping, Brought faco to face with the knowledge that ho was behaving unconventionally, Astley grow serious again. \"Indeed I ilou't know.\" snid ho. \"There's nothing really laughable'about tho affair for mc; i\"or I've got wet through; niul as I'm dcad-lnme, and haven't long sot ovor an attack of tv- * . , phoid, there's're.illv nothing about this j }onS S������t over an attack ol typhoid, ��������� ��������� ��������� ��������� ��������� ��������� make me nicr- i *'������ 3 been wounded beside, so he s moro the gill's arm kindly, as she seemed to shrink into herself at these words. \"I know what young folks arej I've been young myself, and I know it's very little they see of anything but each other.\" The young girl moved restlessly under the infliction of this speech, not knowing whether she hud better confess that the man who was her fellow-sufferer was a stranger to hor, or allow Mrs. Bonne's curiosity to evaporate in ignoranco. \"Oh, it wasn't that, it was not at nTl like that,\" sho said, with a little frown and a restless movement. \"Oh well, never mind, I won't bother you. You neither of you want to talk about it, I sec.\" From these words tho girl gathered that her unknown rescuer had boon ns reticent aa herself. \"I only hope the poor gentleman will get over it ns well as you seem to have done; hut he's done nothing but, shiver ever since.\" \"Really?\" said thc girl, in n strangled voice, rising instinctively as she uttered tho word. \"Really and truly.

Her eyes, which were black and lot-ked unnaturally huge in lier face now that it, was blue-gray with eold, suddenly became moist. \"Lot ine help you up thc bank,\" said she. And it wns now her turn to do him a service, for his injured limb was benumbed with thc cold, and she had 'hard work in getting him up to the top of tho hank, which was now wet and slippery. Im much obliged to you,\" said he, With his teeth chattering. And he tried to walk, following her as she hurried along irr the direction of the bridge. A curious object she looked, with her lank garments clinging to her, and the water still pouring down all over her. Ueforc she had got many steps away she turned half round tu look at her rescuer. He was hobbling along with evident pain, and she hesitated, her conscience getting the better of her shyness. In another moment she had come back to him. , \"Won't you let me help you along?\" said she quickly, in a shamefaced way. \"Thanks. It's very good of you, but you'd better make haste and get somewhere out of the snow, and 1 can't get along fast enough: to���������to���������\" \"I Can't leave you, after what you did, until I've seen you out of it, too,\" murmured the girl in a low voice, still in the same awkward and shy manner. Suddenly it occurred to Astley to think that it would ho better for the girl, as weli as for him, for her to remain under his eye for the present. So he said: \"Very well. Then, we'll.get to tho other side, to the inn there, and*���������\" \"Oh, no,\" cried she in sudden horror. But tho next moment she checked herself, and said, in a low voice: \"Yes, yes, to the inn. Very well.\" They had to go ; against the driving wind now, and, at the slow rate of progression which was the best Astley was capable of, they were so blue and stifi' with the cold by the time they got across the bridge, that it was with difiiculty they ported their lips to exchange a few melancholy w.rds. \"Now���������I'll���������leave���������you. You can ��������� get along from here,\" the girl said, as she withdrew her stiliened arm from his when they had reached the opposite bank, and wore near the* little desolate- looking inn. \"You'd better���������come in���������loo,\" rejoined Astley, with difiiculty forming the words behind his chattering teeth. \"There'll be���������a fire���������Think of it!\" He was trying to rpoak with humorous joviality, though his half-frozen companion was scarcely aware of the fact, j She shook her head, but feebly. Astley I tried again. : \"Conic���������you'd.���������better,\" said he. \"You'll '��������� be half dead���������-by the time you get back j ���������anywhere���������if���������if���������\" | ..Something in these words struck the , girl, and made her hesitate. Half dead! Dead! That' was a solemn j word, and it had a new meaning to her : who knew what she had just escaped.) She let herself be persuaded. When Ast-j ley put a cold, still hand on her arm, a.i ; if again asking for her support, she si- j lently gave in, and accompanied him up -i* the little path, trembling and**'wearing a i very hang-dog expression. .*< Before they reached the door it was ! thrown open\" and the landlady, with a j than ordinarily susceptible just now. Do you want to see him?\" she went on, moving towards the door, as if to lead tlie way downstairs. \"No,\" snid tho girl sharply, as she promptly resumed her seat by the fire. Mrs. Bonne seemed rather surprised, if not displeased. ** \"He's silting all by himself in tho parlor downstairs,\" said she, while she began to wonder whether a serious quarrel was at tho bottom of this accident. \"Ho's sent into Oxford for a fly, to take you 'both, and in the meantime I advised him to keep ns warm as possible.\" Again the girl stood up, and now it was impossible to mistake tho expression of her face for anything but one of serious concern. \"Not for both of us.\" she said quickly. \"He���������I���������\" Sho stopped. The landlady was eon- firmei in her suspicion, and the expression of her fnee changed also. Intense curiosity began to get the better of ev- | ery other feeling in her breast, and the girl, grateful as she felt for the kindness she had received, was worried and distressed by her position, and a little inclined to resent Mrs. Bonne's evident wish to know mora than anybody chose to tell her. \"Oh well, of course, it's no business of mine,\" said the landlady, after a pause to allow her guest to unbosom herself if she chose. \"Of course I've no wish to intrude, though,I've heen trusted with a good many secrets in my time.\" \"There's no secret in the case,\" said the girl, with unconscious irritation, turning to the window, and looking out at the still fast falling snow. :\"X slipped and fell into the water, and���������and this gentleman got me out, and unfortunately got wet through himself in doing so. That's nil.\" \"I quite understand, nnd I won't trouble you again'till the fly comes,\" said Mrs. Bonne, as she snatched up her.littlo trajr and retreated to the door. And ,before;her guest could detain her to eKpress afresh her thanks for' tho kind treatment s*he had received, Mrs. Tienne hod shut herself out of the room, and wag on her way downstairs. The girl sprang up again, and once .more stared out'in the gathering gloom. The mow was falling faster than ever: the wind swept clond3 of the feathery ^-kc*\" now to the risrht and now; to the' left, and tho black line of the river was powing dim. \"I must get away, I must get back!\" muttered the girl, peering out at tho flat country along the Trver bank with a dismal sense of the difficulties .that lay before her. Then \"she turned quickly, and having by this time exchanged her borrowed \".'garments' for her own, proceeded; to put on hor jacket and misshapen headgear which, much damaged by the water, had to do duty for a hat. With ones horrified glance in the little looking-glass at the strange object sho then appeared, she hurried across the room, opened the door softly, and ran downstaira. The day was by. .this time fading fast; the he_vy clouds and Uie falling snow all contributed to the darkness and the gloom. At the bottom of the narrow staircase she came to a window half blocked with snow, and to a door which she knew was the back door of the house. Almost leaping to the ground in her haste to get away, the girl had. her fingers on the handle when someone darted out of an opposite door and, turning in her direction, began to gtope for the A HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY.

Mrs. Orange aa a flriJincler, and especially as, an ecnomizer*, was wliolly new, and the prospect of having to pay for her economics in some .unsuspected way was almost as exciting as a roulette game. So he baid with careful pronunciation: '\"Well?\" \"Well,\" said Mrs. Soutn Orange, drawing a long breath. \"You know I keep an account in town here.\" Mr. Orange nodded and sighed to himself.

I'll save ten cents, and they'll get all they would have got if I had paid 'em all they ought to have got.\" She stopped brenthless, and Mr. South Orange looked up without a word. Finally he asked, gently:\"Have* you begun on this yet?\" \"Only thought of it last night, while I was waiting for you to come back from your bowling club.\" \"You wait about putting It into action until I have laid tBo plan before������������������No! You'd better see the President of the bank yourself, and take his advice. Good-by; I must run!\" South Orange thought he had rid himself of the job of explaining matters, but he hadn't. Mrs. Orange returned to the plan at dinner. \"The President said he did not approve of my plan.\" she said, sadly. \"He said it was all right in theory, but would militate\" asalnst banking customs, and that I had hardly the legal or moral right to lead an attack against\" those customs alone, as it would take up much of my time and inisrht Drove labor in vain. He said that his advice, as he was President of a bank, might 6eem prejudi .ed, and said that your advice \".was more likely to be quite disinterested than his own.

Now there wore only two of these tables in occasional use, and they were placed near the fire, each with a coiiplo of worn knives, a few Britannia metal spoons, and a dusty basin half full of sugar, to intimate that they were at the service of the chance visitor. On each side of the fire was a spring- less arm-chair, relic of the days of horsehair and crochet antimacassars, and in one of these Astley had been taking his ease whon a sudden impulse had urged him to leave the inn before his fcllow- .vigitor should make her reappearance.

LINCOLN MOORE Pastor Riverside Baptist Church, New York City. Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ.-��������� Romans, i., I. It is said that no one can look upon the matchless statue of the Apollo Belvidere without instinctively drawing up himself. Such is the influence of perfection in the realm of art. A beautiful character has precisely the same influence in the realm of morals. No one can read the biography of Paul, the master Christian, and carefully study his character, without feeling a conscious moral uplift, expansion and inspiration. Survey him first intellectually. Paul was naturally endowed with the highest order of intellect His natural endowments were developed and strengthened by study, and his mind was enriched by profound learning, drawn from every realm ol thought. His was a comprehensive mind and an expressive mind. Despite his modest disclaimer of eloquence, Paul possessed the rarest oratorical gifts, a yivid imagination, a brilliant invention, fervor and depth of feeling, presence of mind, readiness and exactness of observation and command of language. His first recorded sermon is a model of analytical and rhetorical skill. In his defence before Agrippa Paul shows his wonderful power of adaptation. His sudden transitions prove his mastery of the rhetorican's art. His was a honiiletical mind. Paul made his sermons definite, practical, fervid. His sermons possess unity, order, movement, point. Nothing was admitted except on business. He ai- ,ways adapted himself to the occasion, the circumstances and to his audience. Too many preachers lack fervor, adaptation and knowledge of men. They are mouldy . pedants, useless book worms, unfitted to dwell witli living, aspiring working men. The heart lies at the root of all eloquence.\" The great defect in the modern pulpifis want of heart Many able and scholarly .preachers do not touch the sensibilities and kindle emotion. Their- formal discourses, dried preparations joined together by,, arbitrary ligaments, are as meagre aud lifeless as,a skeleton articulated wrth iron wires. Enamored of the truth, impelled by a mighty motive, swayed by a great, loving heart, Paul's sermons were expressions of what he himself was.-*-What his*luminous mind saw his warm heart felt and his eloquent lips expressed. Every sentence comes to us laden with heart power and burning eloquerce. His \"was,a theological mind. .Paul's epistles when arranged in chronological order show that his mind.-was ever getting a profounder grasp of truth. He is pre-eminently the thinker of ��������� Christianity; as a theologian he_ is unsurpassed and unsurpassi le. Like the sun in the heavens, he stands without a rival. For nineteen centuries he has ruled in the'realm of theology, appearing in every ecclesiastical council, entering every theological \"discussion1 and settling all doctrinal disputes. In brief, Paul was an intellectual giant, a-theological genius. \"He has beggared the past and bankrupted the future.\" .- ���������; And now \"survey Paul morally. He strode the earth li!;**. a moral Colossus, rebuking ruler-, ignoring armies, shaking thrones, liberating\" nations, upbuilding the king-Jom of God. Hot his intellectual power, not his oratorical power, but his moral power gave him supremacy. His character gave projectile force to his words. He was self-sacrificing. Paul gladly ga-e up his Jewish ' preferences and privileges, cheerfully sacrificing _ all hope of worldly honor and political pre'lermentHe willing^ endured bonds and imprisonments, perils on land and sea, for Christ burned at the glowing centre of his heart, and no sacrifice .which he might make could possibly express his gratitude for the great salvation. Paul was conscientious. Evenbcfore _his_conversion_he rcvcrenced_l_s_con-_ s.cience as king. Afcer his conversion he was governod. invariably by the same principle. He did always and only that which his conscience approved ai right He exercised himself to have always a conscience void of offence toward God and toward man. He was courageous. Everywhere he lived the feero. Paul was ever valiant for the truth. He never attempted to purchase safety by a ooli������*y of trimming or recantation. The chains of imprisonment, the stripes of the scourge, the agony pf martyrdom could not move him. . Paul was a man of prayer. Every- ���������Whcre, always, he exercised the gracious ministry of prayer. With a chain on either arm, he was still a stupendous agency for good. His devout heart was like a great galvanic battery; it enabled hi-n, despite all hindrances, to communicate with dis'*. tnt friends in Palestine or Italy, in Greece or Asia Minor, and influence their destinies. A man of prayer is always a man of power. Prayer, is the secret of his successful life. Paul's moral character rises before us in all- its peerless beauty. Surely the Master's beauty is, reflected in' His servant, and from the servant we turn a**' .'ugly tn the Master, all radiant with celestial beauty. From this study of Paul's life tern a lesson of divine 'inspiration. While the apostle in the loftier attribu'es of his character greatly transcends\" us and we despair of reaching the lofty altitude which he attained, yet in his weaker m ints he confessed failure, and this brings hiin very near to in and we arc encouraged to persevere in our efforts after Christlikcness. Let God's grace'work freely in our hearts. Divine grace is a sculptor working out in tis a*grand ideal. The real greafess of a man begins when God marches into his being. Behold what Paul was when grace found him I Behold liim 1 under the developments of grace I No I sculptor ever made more out of the I For tho Farmer. block of marble, even when he wrought it into the most superb of angelic forms, than divine grace made out of Saul, the persecutor. The artist with inward sight Saw in the hard, rough stone The loveliest statue that sun shone on. ��������� -.���������'��������� But the blows were hard and fast That brought from the marble that work at last. So I think that human lives Must bear God's chisel keen, If the spirit yearns and strives For the better life unseen; For men are only blocks at best, Till the chiseling brings out all rest. the A Valuable Plant. This, from The New York Tribune, would, no doubt, if it met his eye, involve Mr. Chamberlain in a ilerco mental struggle as to whether he should go on with his South Afrlcun tour, or depart immediately for Philadelphia : The flower pot was like a toy. Tho moss in it would not have made a teaspoonful. Out of the moss two tiny leaves, each less thnn it hiilf-ineh long, peeped, '''hey wero vaiii'g.ited leaves; tlieir right halves weie green and their left halves white. Pot, earth, leave** and all, this plant would have slipped easily into a man's waistcoat poeket. And vet $10,000 had been oli'ered for it. It did not weigh an ounce. There was nothing to it but two tiny leaves upon a stem less than\" an inch long. Yet it was worth $10,000. It waa an orchid in the collection of .Mrs. George B. Wilson of Philadelphia. Mrs. Wilson's orchids are said to be the finest in America; some say the finest in the world. The little plant was a cross between a Cat- tleya aurea and a Cattleya labiata. It was two years old, and it would be five years more before it would begin to bloom. But it was the only orchid in tho world with leaves half green and half white, and therefore Sanders, the English collector, seeing it in November, said: \"I will give you $10,000 for it.\" But Mrs. Wilson's gardener replied : \"Wa buy all we can, but we never sell.\" An .unknown enemy some years ago entered one of Mrs. Wilson's preen- houses by night and poisoned a half- dozen of her most valuable plants.* The plants sickened, and in a fow days died. They were eattleyas, and their value exceeded $10,000. To discover the cause of their mysterious death they wero submitted to a* chemist for analysis. Ho found them permeated with a violent poison. The drug, he decided, had been sprayed on their aerial roots, and they had absorbed it quickly. The police of the city were informed, and a number of detectives tried to find the poisoner, directing their attention mainly to the professional-rivals of the gardener, Peri- cat. Thoy had no success, however, aa_ the muidorer of the flowers is still at large. -Since'that fatality the Wilson greenhouses \"have all been protected with an elaborate system ~ ot 'safety* locks- .

Following our articles on the adulteration of timothy and nl*>ikc, to-il.iy we present the result of the roil clover tests, concluding this series, which has been of vital importance both to farmers and the public, with those comments which deserve the most serious study and earnest consideration:��������� Quebec samples were practically oi the same nature as those found in the seed obtained from Ontario. -Nearly all the clover seed offered was reported to have been obtained by the local dealer from wholesale firms in thc Province of Quebec. By far thc worst samples came from Yamaska, Iberville, Chartierville, Montreal and Quebec. Only one out of twenty-one samples obtained in the Province of .New Brunswick had been taken from seed grown in the Province. In fact, practically all the red clover seed offered in New Brunswick had been obtained from Montreal and Toronto wholesale houses. One lot from Bathurst was very bad. A ten-gram sample (about one-third of an ounce) of this seed contained the following weed seeds; lamb's quarter, 8o seeds; stickweed, 4; Canada thistie, 21; catnip, 17; mayweed, 5; barnyard grass, 1; curled dock, 44; green foxtail, 303; yellow foxtail, 3; panicum glabrum, 15; plantain, 8; bull thistle, 1; black medick, 55; and black- bindweed, 2; in addition to having nine seeds of white clover, 245 of timothy and 953 of alsike. Two samples from St John and.one from Woodstock contained charlock or wild mustard. Three of the samples from St. John and Bathurst, each contained eighteen or more species of weed seeds. With the exception of one from Bathurst, all the samples showed a high percentage germination during the first .three clays. but only a few of them were reasonably pure. Twelve' out of the twenty-two samples contained over g.oop weed seeds perpountL-eight containing over 10,000 weed seeds per pound. * In Nova Scotia a bad sample from Yarmouth had been \"imported from a Boston seed house and was evidently eld seed, judging from its color and slow germination. The farmers who were so unfortunate as to buy seed from this lot.paid four times its first cost for the pure living seed contained in, this sample. The farmers oi Nova Scotia have been paying too high a price for their red clover seed. One sample contained (from Weymouth) twenty-two species ** of weed seeds. \". The nature and* prevalence of thc impurities of the s-eci from the Province oi Nova Scotia are much the same as those from the other Provinces. Charlock or wild mustard seed was found in large quantities in samples 1 from some dealer.,, one set of seeds : containing sixteen species of weed accordingly; nor is it too much to require seed merchants to furnish a statement showing the percentage of purity aad vitality, of the grass and clover seeds which they sell, instead of merely issuing a non-warranty declaration. There is a great need for wise measures and energetic and persistent efforts to protect Canadian farmers and their fields'from the far-reaching and long-continuing damages which arise from the sale of. seeds which contain noxious impurities. As long as Canadian farmers are content to use cheap low grades of seed without possessing any definite knowledge of their real value, so long will the best quality of our home-grown seeds be exported to countries where the seed trade is conducted on a more businesslike basis than is the custom in this Dominion. The sale of seeds containing seeds of such weeds as bindweed or wild morning glory, wild oats, charlock, or wild mustard, field pennycress or stinkweed, and perennial sow-thistle should be restricted or wholly prohibited. It is desirable that uniform methods for grading grass and clover seeds, according to fixed standards of purity and vitality, be adopted for Canada. Any seeds containing an admixture of noxious impurities should not be represented or sold as a Number One grade.

TAYLOR INTERVIEWED TOILET SOAP Storekeeper's Departure Mr. E. J.

While here Mr. Ford lias made hosts of friends all of whom extremely regret his departure. After his holiday\" he will return to his home in Montreal. It is possible, however, that he will return to British Columbia shortly to take up his permanent residence. Requesting Government Aid to River Ferry, Death Rapids Tramway and Manual Training School���������Election Imminent Thomas Taylor, M.P.P., arrived in the city on Friday morning when the Herald had the pleasure of a short interview. His visit, here was on private business and hud nothing to do with politics. Mr. Taylor flrst expressed himself us much pleased with the proposed introduction of manual traiui.ig in the public school* of interior cities and stated that he was using every effort towards having the appropriation for initiatory expenses, as urged by the IIkkai-d, included in the estimates. He will endeavour to arrange joiut, action on the part of the members for the constituencies concerned. Asked as to the condition of affairs at Victoria, Mr. Taylor was unwilling to expross'an opinion. He considered that being a member of the legislature, a committed of which was conducting the investigation, it would not be in good taste for him to say anything regarding the evidence adduced until the committee had made their report to the House. He has every confidence, however, iu the good faith of the committee and is sure that no guilty person will escape. The prompt acceptance of Mr. Oliver's motion for an investigation by the Premier, Mr. Taylor further said, had materially strengthened Col. Prior in Victoria, as whatever might ne thought of some previous matters in which he was concerned his course regarding the Columbia and Western deal had been most straightforward. Taking up other matters of local interest, Mr. Taylor said he had devoted considerable attention to connection between Kevelstoke and the other side of the riyer. He realized the growing business importance of the mills and settlement on thu west bank and thought something better than the present dangerous route across the railway bridge should be providud at once. \"The so called arrangement-between the C.P.R. did not appear to have any foundation in fact, and the cost of a, foot bridge would be\" in the vicinity of .$30,000. It would be impossible |o secure such an amount for some time, but, in the interval something should be done*. A ferry is, in Mr. Taylor's opinion, the best that can be bopeu for and he is doing all in his power to have an appropriation put in the estimates for its construction. While heie Mr. Taylor was interviewed : by several prominent men regarding the proposed tr.iiiiway around Dentil Rapids and the provision of: ;a Steiiiuer on the Upper waters of the Columbia. Tlrs matter had not been brought to the attention of themenilier.'hel'ore, but heat once promised;; his j;: hearty ��������� suppirt to Government ard in this direction. ��������� He has arranged to have a plan of the proposed tramway, its estimated cost and'-ill other pYirlicularo sent to him at Victoria arid will 'at once take Ibe niiilter up witli'the Government. He pointed out. however. Unit it was rather a late date for\"'such a proposition to be mooted this year as it would have to go in the* supplementary estimates in which it wnsiery hard to secure insertion of such an item, Mr Taylor has evidently been watching with interest the first productions of gold from Goldfields, Fish River, and predicts for it, in common wilh other mining camps in the vicinity of Revelstoke, _ very bright future. He stated I hut recent advices from Trout L-ike had also b. en most satisfactory and that taken nil in all North West Kontenny should be the banner district of the Province for 1908. Requested to give an opinion as to the probability of a general election Mr. Taylor\"'s-iid that it was almost certain. No party in the House as at present constituted could have absolute control, though Mr. McBride, if called upon to form a Government would secure some support fiom the other side and have a small majority. It is conceded by the members themselves that the inevitable outcome will tie the formation of a Conservative cabinet followed by an appeal to the country on party lines as noon its the estimates are passed. situations can be assured them on arrival. Their transportation and oilier small incidental expenses will, in tbe first instance, be pii'd by their eniployeisandt.be amount refunded them by a. deduction every month from the servant's wages lifter they have entered upon their employment. This is a most feasible way of mooting the circumstances of the case, and tho Hkhai.d advises all those interested to communicate at once with Rev. 0. R. Procmiier, at St. Peter's Rectory, or Miss ltiddell, at Reid & Young's, who will be pleased to furnish any further particular necessary. Unique Cutlery.

Next Hiimf- Block lo the Editor of the Hkrald: Sir: I am much surprised that the City Council has not seen fit*, to officially recognize the fact of the great struggle unfortunately waging between the C.P.R. and an important body of its employees. Representing as it does, the -interests of un important railway city, a city that must lie supported largely , through the industry of railway men, , it is proper to expect some expression from the Council on this matter. If the Revelstoke City Council . cannot pass a resolution endorsing the action of tbe U.B.R.E. in it's struggle for unionism and justice, it is lacking in u sense of public duty, and we must suppose that thc threat re removal of shops followed as it was by'the farce of the Board of Trade meeting in relation thereto, is having a permanent effect upon the courage of our city fathers. Revelstoke interests are broadening and if thc Council considers it duties consist entirely of looking after roads and sidewalks and moving old btrild- iigs all over the town, it is in error and needs a jolt. If the city is flourishing and prosperous it is useful labor here and elsewhere that has caused such conditions, and nothing more. Let our City Council give to C.P.R. labor the moral support of its formerly expressed sympathy in this struggle for its rights, H. Edwahdh. May 17th, 1903, Postmaster Resigning ���������It-iK=currently-Tumored on.thestreet corners that A. McRae has resigned, or is about to resign, his positio lias postmaster of this city. As a reason for this step it is stated that Mr. McRae will extensively engage in lumlier- ing operations in tbe future. He has recently acrjuired large timlier interests in the Kootenay. It is also rumoured that one cause of J. M. JCellie's trip east was a desire to obtain the refusal of tbe billet. Very Valuable Ore Body on the Georgie. Reggie and Otto- Deal on for Transfer of the Donald. A mining camp directly tributary lo Revelstoke is lire north\" fork of the Iliecillewaet, and recent development there bhow that the prospects for mining on a large scale commencing shortly nre very bright. One of the mining men who have always had faiih in that locality is Mr.\" David Woolsey, and the Hbkai.d is glad to ascertain that lecent work on some of liis properties h>is revealed some very liiRh grade ore. Th-gioiip in question consists of the Georgie, Reggie and Otto mineral claims and is situated on the north fork of the Iliecillewaet river about nineteen miles from Alb.rt Canyon. Three men have been working on the property nil winter and there is now 110 feet of tunnelling, SO feet cross- cutting nnd 30 feet drifting on the vein. The mineral values of the ore nre in gold, silver and copper and give veiy x-itisfiictoi-y returns, lhe silver contents being particularly high. In 1800 a. trial shipment of four tins was made to the Trail smeller- and the values demonstrated were the cause of further prosecution of work. Operations so (t\\v have been in the direction of development only and no attempt has been made lo produce any ore. But in stripping the vi ia on tin- surface for lifty feet some orp wns necessarily removed*, niul about 7 or 8 tons aie now sacked above ibe month of the tunnel. The average ( ontents of Ibis ore his been found to !>*��������� 000 oz. silver, .\"57.20 gold, and 81 per cent, copper lo Lhe Ion. and the \"recent rise in Ihe price cf silver has enhtneed its value considerably. At present-market prices this ore is worth $510 per tou-ilt the mine. >*, The vein on the properly is a well defined one. a pay streak on the foot .wall underground 0 lo S inches wide running-117 oz silver und 10 per cent, copper, while, another on the banging wall has fiom 8 to 12 inches of about equal value. At* lhe end of lhe 80 foot cross cut the oie body is a solid one 10 inches wide and f ml ber investigation of it is to be made at once. Anntbei milling property in this district is the Donald, about live miles east of Iliecillewaet, also the property of Mr. WooUey. There has been a large amount, of development done on this claim, an 80 foot shaft being sunk and some 900 feet of tunnelling. This is a galena proposition having a value of aliout $75 to tbe ton. It is nndei- stood that a deal is now on for the pin chase of the property at* n large figure. If the matter goes through n concentrator will be built at once and active mining commenced.
