MOUNT REVELSTOKE S NATIONAL PARK Order-in Council Pass-cl Yesterday Revelstoke Now Tourist Capital of Rockies Efforts of Kootenay Member and Local Associations Crowned with Success—Boon to City. VAN HOR-NE BLOCK SOLD Purchasers Have Option on Properties Standing On Same Block A telegram was received this morning Irom it. K. Qreen, member for .Kootenay, notifying T. J. Wadman, Dominion Lands Agent, that an ord- er-in-coiuicil was passed yesterday to set aside the area embracing the summit of Mount Kevelstoke and the entire Clack na Cooditi Range as a national nark. For two years the Conservative Association, the Bourd of Trade, the j Progress Club und other organisations have been impressing upon the government the advantage of creat- j ing this park In the vicinity of Rev- I elstoke and Mr. Oreen has tuken special interest In the matter and has I lost no opportunity of urging the request upon the government. YeB- I terday's order-ln-councll is the gratifying result. The land in question is ideal for park purposes and the urea contains scenery probably unexcelled, not on- j ly in Canada hut in the world and .the park will undoubtedly I ccome one of the great playgrounds of the Am- i i ll an continent. The decision of the government Is of vast Importance to Revelstoke. It means the official recognition of the city as the great tourist capital of the Canadian Rockies, ; The establishment of this great national nark will turn the eyes of tourists toward Kevelstoke and will cause the Canadian Pacific railway to redouble its efforts to secure for its lines the great trafflo thut the park ■night, attract. It will be the cause of the copious advertising of Revelstoke throughout the continent and in Europe and wherever tourists are to he fuund. It will in all probabilty mean the speedy completion of the automobile road to the summit of Mount Kevelstoke. j The park will be a source of profit , to Revelstoke, will mean the rapid ' growth of the city, and will provide for its citizens a means of recreation unexcelled in the Dominion. Mr. Green, through whose persistent efforts and influen :e at Ottawa, the boon to the city has been mainly secured is expected to send further I details by mail to those chiclly interested. The Van Home block on McKenzie aveuue al present occupied by Q. B, Adams, joweler, and the London Oys ter and Chop house has been sold this week to the syndicate which hud recently purchased the Revelstoke Oyster and Chop house. The deal was concluded hy ll. il. Horobln, I The same syndicate has taken options on the buildings containing the Trueraan studio, Hemlnger Uros. barber shop, Hobson's bakery and Reid and Barton photographers. Should these options be taken up the purchasing syndicate would huve control of half a McKenzie avenue block nt the extreme end of thc street abutting on thc C.P.R. trucks and there will no doubt be much speculation as to the purpose for which the block hus been purchased. The entire property if the options arc taken uii will cost neurly $50,000. .Mr. Horobln who will leave on Sunday in connection with the deal says that the purchasers state that they are acquiring the property for investment purposes. COMMITTEE TO BOOST MINES Stimulating Lecture Delivered to Board of Trade- Vast Resources COUNCIL SELLS CITY BONDS m Soiariss be Paid to Aldermen Shall salaries be paid hy the city for the services of aldermen? That was one of the questions debated at the meeting of the city council last night. Aid. Needham was stiongly in favor of the suggestion. He said that paj was necessary to enable a poor man to serve on t.he council. The aldermen U..s: money in uttending to the city's business and often they at fleeted civic business because they could not ai'.ord to give it preference over their own. If aldermen were paid they would give the civic busi- i.e.-s letter attention. Aid. Bourne did not think that the time was ripe for paying salaries to aldermen but his colleagues favored thc proposal. Aid. Bell thought that •:'iio a year would not be excessive remuneration for an alderman's loss of time. On the suggestion of the Mayor. Who also approved of the idea the bylaw committee was instructed to find out what was being paid by cities similar to Revelstoke. ENTERTAINMENT TO BB GIVEN BY ST.

L. Howson and J. E. B. Dickson appeared for the baseball club regarding the enclosing of thc baseball grounds on Ninth street. Mr. Howson suggested canvas screen, which was estimated to cost $0M the baseball boys promising to supply thc poles. Mr. Dickson said that permission had been obtained to carry the fence to thc river bank. In Kamloops, Lethbridge and elsewhere similar fences had been erected. Mayor McKinnon promised that the council would consider the mntter and communicate with thc baseball club. H. N. Coursier asked the council for relief respecting his sewer tax. The sewer was a main sewer and had been built as an outlet for the city. He was taxed on 27.*i feet.

The cut of hemlock decreased .'10 per cent; tbat of cedar decreasod 27 per cent, and tamarack, the lumber production ol which has decreased uvcr 411 per cent, in thc last two years, bids fair soon to become commercially extinct. Uf the six leading tree-Hpecb'S in Canada, Douglas Br was the only one wliose lumber production Increased in 1912. In tbo province nf British Columbia alono, Douglas lir formed over 07.7 per cent of tbe tntai lumber cut, ami British Columbia is at present by far tho richest timber province in Canada, containing, according to some estimates, ime hull the merchantable timber wealth oi the Dominion. Tbis remarkable tree obtains a height 'if nver Jlin feet witb a trunk in to 12 feet in diameter, forming, alone or mixed with hemlock, great forests extending 100 [piles north of tbe International Boundary. Its natural range extends In Canada to tho eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, where it grows to a height of 130 feet and a diameter of four fiit, and is considered one of the most Important timber trees on the Dominion Rocky Mountains For- tst Reserve, which covers nn area of nearly 21,000 square miles. It is also widely distributed throughout thc western United States, b«- Ing able to stand considerable climatic variation .uiel being practically immune to insects or tungus diseases. Dr. C.8.

According to a COCODt Dominion Forestry Dranch publication on the "Wood-using Industries ni Ontario,' it is increasing in popularity in that province for decorative purposes as 'it bus an attracttlve grain and Ugure Wnich readily lends itself to staining."

I-*.il I.-1 Bei nard V'aughan, in an ad- dress to the Aldwycb Club, declared that religion was the only thing worth advertising. Nevertheless, he admitted, other things needed advei us, ment—even footwear, clothes or soap. He belonged, he said, to the ; oldest and biggest advertising linn on the planet—the Roman Catholic Church. The church believed that she had wares that defied competition, and she put them in her shop window, proclaiming for all she wus worth, "Come, even you without money and buy." Why had they music, the ritual and preaching in the church, if it were not to advertise the supplies they possessed for the demands of the human soal' In view of these being so splendid, they were justified in making use of advertising. "The Roman Catholic Church," he r.included, "to use the phraseology of the United States, has 'heen on the oh, 'J.CO'i years, and has 'delivered 'ie foods' all tne time." O. W. O. w.

Mr. Kllpatrlck believed that, the present time would be the beginning of mining in the district.. Timber and rial rstate were quiet, but. there was always money for speculation, and be believed that it would now be available for mining. He suggested thai the business men might (lev ' ei.ni a claim themselves to show their confidence, Mr, Blbb believed tbat such a pol icy would secure quick results. He said that tliere was already n plant, in New Denver to deal with the zinc problem and mentioned the Lanark, the Silver Dollar and the Hva as mines likely to soon resume operations. Dr. Schurz a representative of the German smelter combine had been investigating the Windermere district, Mr. Hibb thought Revelstoke the logical spot for a zinc plant. W, AI. Lawrence thought that con- fldence on the part of the business men was needed, lf they had it they could boost. He advocated a visit, the mines and the taking of sani- i. Mining was the backbone of I the city. ('. ii. Hume thought it a matter of Interest. Many of those present bad every confidence in the mining in - dustry. He knew there were immense mineral values iu the Trout Lake district. He advised the appointment of a standing committee on mining and systematic advertising Mr. McKinnon believed that if the board were as enthusiastic and confident as Mr. Hibb there would bc no delay in thc solution of the problem. Mr. Bibb's visit would do much to restore enthusiasm. i*. R. Macdonald remarked that money was no object to thc big companies and literature should be sent to them. Aid.

PROTECTING PIGS. During the first duys of his life the pig is not very resistant to unfavo- able surroundings. Cold and damp quarters nnd clumsy sows have been the cause of a large part of the mortality in litters. During cold weather the tendency is to supply large quantities of straw for bedding. This makes it difficult for the young pigs to get "out from under" and many I of them are crushed by the sow. Small amounts of cut straw arc bet- ' ter. A guard rail about eight inches wide and nailed to the wall about eight inches from the floor all the ' way round will keep the pigs from being snuee7cd against the wall. ' When pigs arc vcry sn all a lantern I hung in the portable hog house will make them comfortable and save n j good mnnv thnt otherwise would not ! pull through.

The outlook for the peach crop ol 1914 near St. Catharines, Ontario, is the most dismal in a quarter of a century. The consenus of opinion imong growers points to a greatly reduced crop. Many growers in some portions of Grantham and Clinton Townships will venture to say that the loss runs as hi^-li as I'D per cent, and in some instances is practically complete. The mild weather of last December, followed by the extraord - innry cold spell in January and February, is credited with the damage.

TINT YOUR WALLS WITH HALL'S DIS TEMPER Sanitary Washable Water Faint Over One Hundred Beautiful Art Shades Write for Illustrated Booklet—"How to Decorate" SOLE LOCAL A.GBNTS LAWRENCE HARDWARE CO., LTD. ui;\'];i.si*()KE New Zealand Cannot Cet Canadian Timber In a report received at the department of trade and commerce from W.A. Beddoe, Canadian trade commissioner for New Zealand, thc statement is made that the United States has supplied nearly the whole of the timber imported from the rucific Coast for the past yeur. For soma time particular attention has been devoted to this subject. Large 1m- porters In New Zealand have been placed in communication with lend - Ing Canadian mills on the Pacific Coast. Exporters have submitted replies to their letters and the matter has been well threshed out. When tenders have been invited for cargoes eef one million to a million and a half superficial feet, some reason baa been advanced why the Lumber could not be supplied, the following arc verbatim quotations from letters of large mill owners on the Pacific Coast which ure given us examples: Some Excuses. "1. Ne>t sufficient time between now and the date .vhen tenders must be in t,) enable us to get suitable tonnage. "2. Lumber has been produced in j the States very much in excess of | their domestic demands, forcing thc mills to look for an export murket. '3. 'there is no timber available at Vancouver. "I. We cable our Frisco agents nnd asked them to offer us half million feet of Oregon to load at Vun - i couver and we bad a reply buck 'not I obtainable here.' " Many other examples could be i given, taken from letters received by ; ) the New Zealand importers. Mr. Beddoe goes on to say that in i cases were quotations have been Be- ; cured, the Canadian prices have in- variably been higher than the Amer- | ican and the business has been lost. ; Reciprocal Trade The largest importer of timber in New Zealand states thnt he is buying shingles from Canada and paying more money for them than if he purchased Redwood from California. This gentleman has an exhibit at the Auckland Exhibition, of Cnnudinn timbers, and prominently displayed is a notice. 'This timber from Canada is paid for by New Zealand butter.' This is intended to stimulate a demand for Canadian timber, by thc suggestion of reciprocal trade. Tho transportation (question being Rettlcd the only obstacle appears to be the price. If the Canadian can sell as cheap as the American he can secure the business.
