The "cannonading" was lirst lieard late last night trnd continued wilhoat inlerrupiion until after 1! o'clock this nmrning-. The l)U>."?tH were heavy and in niiick succession. The navy wlre- les.s .station tried to conimtnilcate with the stalion.s to> the westward to get delinite information of conditions in the Cook Inl.n, but the static condi- tions of the atrnos.ohoro made It iin- poHsiide to work with an.v of th" Alaska stations.

, (EtUiDA PESTA, June 7.— Count Tisza, president of, the lower house, had a narrow escape from assassination in the Diet this mornins:. He was fired upon three times by Depi^y Julius , Kovacs, who then shot himself, prob- ; ably with fatal effect. Count Tisza ■was unscathed.
KoVacs was one of the most mili- tant membera ot* the opposition and was among those who were ejected from the chamber hecause of disorderl.y conduct- He was susiiended for sev-- oral sittin,gs. AVhen the chamber re- con\ened this morning, he managed to evade the police and found his way Into the press gallery. Soon after tho proceedings opened Kovacs moved to the front of the gallery and shouting: "There are still opposition memibers In the chamber," drew a revolver and emptied three chambers In the direc- tion of the president. Then, seem- ingly chagrined at his bad marksman- ship, he put two bullets Into his own bod.\-.
The attack uijon the count is a di- rect outcome of the agitation which has been persisted in sii-icc his elec- tion as speaker on May 22.
Opposes TJnlvarsal Suffrage
Tlsza i.s an opponent of universal suffrage, and on this issue his election was contested with a bitterness that culminated in violence in tlie charnber and bloodshed in the _.,'3Ci;?e^|l*.., ■^'^^^ fight.-s occurred krot^i^' 'tjlc ,y>k^;« '-vfll* and finally the Wfioife opppsilion part* left the chamtier; and Tls'.a was eiee-i.- cd by the government iiarty.
The same night the Socialist union decided to proclaim a strike of all unionist workmen In Biida Peslli. with the exception of municipal employees.

It Is Understood That Hon. TI\omas Taylor Met With Complete Success on His Mission to Government.
That a eordial reception has been accorded to Hon. Thomas Ta.vlur, niln- IstcT of public' works, by the federal ministers, and timt the various matt^rg ho took up with thein — Buch as tlic Kettlennont of the harbor line ajl Prince Rupert, the protection of banks of navigable watera, and assistance to- ward the main trunk road s.vstem — will shortly be In a iio.sltion for satisfac- tory adjustment, is the wo^d that ha.s just tieen received In Victoria. U is authorltalh el.\ reporf*d that Mr. Tay- lor, on preseatlOK his brief for the province of H. (-\, met with a sympa- thetic and encouraginB hearing from Premier Borden and hisj colleagues.
^^■hile In the east it would appear that the minister Is not oontining Ills lime to the iiuestions whlcli lie w-as commissioned to present to' the Do- minion Koverninent. for It is also stated that when lie return.s liome he will be able tt) shed some light on the old and vexed question of road-sur- facing-. This problem has lusen with the public works department for a considerable tii;ne, and not a little criti- cism has b?en levelled against the de- -paxtmgnt on ac<^ovint. cit tho fact that no action hais ibeen taken ytt It wasi claimed .that oil uhoiild be applied td the roads, but this was crtmbated by tfte deputy minhstor as well as the minister on the groimd tha^t Avhile oil certainlj- did preserve the' roadway and laid the dust it liad a disastrous effect upon AejietatJon.
The su. vostlon that oil should be used was pressed very strongly and it was at the loss of some favor that the department held out. Xbw it would appear that there ha.s been virtui- in the delay, for the mlnLster is undcr- stodd, in , the eour.se of his 41'vestlga- tions, to have discovered sonie process that will achieve the same deslra^plc ends as oil without any of its unde- sirable consequence-;. IJuring tlie pres- ent season tht^ department of public works has many i.avlns sehenns In 'hand both -for the island and lii mainland, and it is conl1dentI\' stated that up"n the return oJJ the minister from (Utawa no time will be lost in giving the new proce-^s a try-out "n one or other of the roadways of the pro\-lnce.
TO BUILD f\m~~
OFFICE BLOCK
Cnntlniiril I'rom ra.;c
a result even further extensions will have to be made.
Yesterday afternoon l-*render .Mc- .Bri<le made the statement that the government has under cont<.'mpiatlon the erection of a large departmental block. Hon. Thomas Taylor, minister of public works,' will lake up the mat- ter upon his return and it is probable that an early start will be made with the constructian of the building. Re- fiently the government p\ircliased the property on the southeast corner of (liovernment and Superior streets, and it is understood that the new govern- ment block will be erected there.
In speaking of this nuitter Premier MdBride said that the trenuuidous in- crease in business and the urgent ne- cessity for more accommodation of a permanent .character would easily jus- tify the erection of the new block. "In\eKtlgatlon li{i.'3 shown" he con- tinued, "tliat e\en witii the extra ac- commodation to be ijrovlded by the new wings of the main building now under construction there would still be considerable conget'tion.
"\S'hlle We have not considered any lilans as yet it can v'ery well be stated that the new building will be based on the most modem style and will con- sist of materials, and be designed in such a manner as will render it an or- nament to the city and the district. Though separated from the main bod.S' of government buildings l)y the width of the s'treet it will be part and parcel of them in so far as artistic design and finish can make it. The necessity for such a step on the part of the gov- ernment has been contemplated .for some time, but as every day {he ur- gency for greater space becomes more and more imperative we have decided to act. at once. Until this new struc- ture is completed another temporary structure will have to be erected in the vicinity of the main building."
The temporary building tt) which the premier referred is for the accommo- dation of the Hew forestry department. Mr. VV. R. Owens has l)een commis- sioned by the public works department to draft plans for the building. This building vviy be rushed, as at present the for.estry department is crowded in one niom. The site of this structure Is that at present occupied by the garage. ' . '

Bird's VTest
Birds often elioose curious places for their ntsts. .V swallow's nest was once found on tlie knocker of ti doOr: another liuilt hia on the' handles of a pulr of garden sliears, while a third made a nest on tlic wings and body of a dead, dry owl. A whltethrwit, loo. built a comfortable little home in the Ironwark on ttie top of a lamp in l^orlland place. Birds are -generally very Meree and strong ."At building time. A pair of rav- ens will>beat off a vulture oV eagle; th« blackbird will drive awey a eat, or even fly at a Inan's face; the thrush will chase the sparrow hawk, and tho mlsse) thrush will suffer no magpfe. Jay or blackbird to como Into the garden where the young onew are being rear*»d
Blrdf\, too, will show much dovotlou to their young, for they will die with them sonietlmos rather thtin forsake lliem. It Is well known that a stork nt Delft, which had a nest on a chimney, refused to leave It when the house was burning. The bird, baving triVd In \aln to 'carry her young ones a^wa.v. calm.v stayed with them and pejlshcd. Nor w«K a raven of Mr. White's actiualnl- ance less noble. A pair of ravens had built their nest and in such a poeltlon that the boldest lads in the village dared not reach It. But early of\e spring tlie tree was cut down. In spite of the noise made by saw and inallet. the raven kept to -licr nest 'and was killed by the fall of the tree.

"What Deli^Jitful Tone That Piano Has, Mary!",
"Yes -But It's a Helntzman & Co. Piano, Dear. They're the Best Made, You Know."
, Mary is right. She, like all women of refinement and cul- ture, recognises the essential difference between the product of Ye Olde Firm of Ileintzman (Sr Co. and imitations. And Mary has ample support in her opinion. Mark I-Jainbourg, one of the world's greatest pianists, has written of these pianos: "I have come to the conclusion that as regards touch, tone, pure musical qualities and construction, this piano is as perfect a medium for the pianist as he could possibly desire."

Architects, Builders and- Real Estate Men Urge Changes in Measure — Would Retard Building Activity.
Urging that the provisions of the new buildlnK bylaw calling: tor the erection only_^, Claaa A Buildings within the proDObfd first flre-Umlt. be amended to permit the erection of what will be termed Class B bulKllnKa, and that the firat fire limit be done away with and but one fire limit, that area conlalned within the boundaries of the proposed second limit, be established, a deputa- tion representing the Archltecta' A«- -sociation, the Builders' Kxchange and the Heal Estate Exchange waited upon the streets commltiee of the city coun- cil yesterday aft«fnoon, A lengthy ■discussion took place before the coni- ittee decided to tuko into conKlderatlon the requtst of the deputation.
As at present drafted the bylaw pro- vides for two fire limits, Nos. 1 and 2, the first, Including the strictly busi- ness portion of the downtown section, to contain only fire-proof structures concrete or steel; the second, buildings of a semi fire-proof character but with Internal construction leas permanent than in the case of the first fire limit.
Prior to receiving the JeputaWpn Al- gtewaxt., -ch^jLlrn-iin :"|y!C'1i :tUa .■-u.,ll.; committee, declared tHkt' 'per- sonally he waa averse to having the proceedings of the committee Interfered with by the hearing of deputations. The afternoon seBsiona of the commit- tee had been decided upon because of the fact that evening meetings had been so taken up by council proceed- ings that practically litUe committee busine.s.s could be attended to. How- <-ver, In view of the fact that the coun- cil at U.S last session had decided that the deputation should be received at the committee meetinj? he would permit a hearing, hut in future would object to any extraneous matters being Intro- duced.
Archlt»ot«' Sargastlon
On behalf of the Victorki Chapter of the B. C. Arghitects' association, Mr. Hoult Hortoh submitted a report of the special committee of that body and committees of the real estate exchange and builders' exchange appointed to consider the new bylaw, as follows:
"Whereas, after such committees meeting together and very carefully de- bating this particular part of the by- law, they consider that the condlttSns contained therein are contrary to tlie best interest for the up-building and progress of the city, and they respect- fully submit to your lionorable body for the most serious consideration and adoption the following resolution, which the committees have unanimous- ly- adopted. They are of the opinion triat, instead of there being two separ- ate fire limits defined in the bylaw as No. 1 and No. 2 .limits, and in which No. 1 limit one class of building con- struction will be enforced refererd to as A and No. U limit another class of construction referred to as B will be permitted, it will be better to incorpor- ate the two limits and to permit either cla.ss A or B construction to be used ;n the whole area Incorporated (if not within the whole of the city limits) .subject to the following conditions,' viz.:
"That no buildings of the class B type intended to be used for the fol- lowing piTrposcs, viz., hotels, private hotels, apartment houses, flat.s, room- ing houses, tenements, offices, seho.jl.s. public and private, hospitals, Including private nursing homes or maternity homes, public bulldlnga. municipal buildings, theatres or places of public onlertalnment, factories, concerts or dancing halls, shall be permitted to he erected Iri such "typo of construction wtiere they are intended to be occ\iplod by. or to accommodate more than, thirty persons — such buildings in any case not to exceed three storeya In height mea.sured from the street leve'l. but buildings required to accommodate more than the above number of persons or to be erected at a greater height than three storeys shall be constructed .-IS fireproof buildlneis throughout us set forth under clsjss A of the pro- posed bj'law.
"They are further of the opinion that no buildings shall be allowed to be erected containing more than ten st6reys in 'height, wlfh a limit to such height of 120 feet meastirM from the sidewalk at a point in the centre of the luilldlng to the top of the parapet, ex- cepting It ho for a church spire, clock tower, chimney stack, fire outlook or some Otlier such erection not lnt'>nded to be inhabited or occupied by human life."
For Safety of Knman Xilf*
Mr. Horton, addressing the commit- tee, stated that he believed the Archi- tects' association could materially as- sist the (!lty In drawing up an adequate building measure. Any building de- signed to house more than thirty per- aona, whether located within or wlith- out the first fire limits, should be fire- proof and of the type now proposed for the first limits. ''
Major W. B'.dffway WUaon stated that the association had discussed the matter very th'oroughly. A year agro It had augge^tetl that the area bounded by Johnson street, a line 120 feet eaat of Douglas street, Courtney street and Langley street should be fixed as that within which only class A buildings might bo erected, but some sections of the proposed first limits would .not now return An adequate revenue should owners be forced to erect ouch type of structure. '
Mr. H. Fere's declared that to enforce the proposed bylaw In regard to class A bulldlivffs would seriously hamper buMdinK operatioas. A cleuss A struc- ture, to become a revenue producer, wotild tasTe to in five or six storeys In height, but without doubt many owners of property wHhIn the area pt^pposed in the bylaw would b« unable to af- ford to put up luoli an expetwlv* bulld- injf.
Mt. f. Zjaadflborc. rspresentioflr the fAl estato exchaofe, believed that to
enforc<( t^« prttpMCd tMtciotlkHl* 'W«iild retard the pi'ocreas of the olty now ao weU underway. Victoria wa« very much aroaUer than those eitlea whose buildloff regulations had Jieen the baMa of the new bylaw, and n> enforce such regulations would simply be a4opttng provisions five years too soon.
Mr. Umsdale, for the builders' ex- change, also was opposed to the hard- and-fast regulations proposed. A class B buildings coating 930.000 would cost at least tBO.000 if erected ^ under the claas A restrictions, and many owners could not aifford to erect such a/lype of structure. ''
raVors ByUw VrorlaloiMi
Alderman Glea.<)on fayored the first limit, as provided for in the Act, point- ing to the fact that there are now «»ome twelve buliainga of the class A type erected In the section proposed to be Included In the first limit and to permit buildings of an inferior clazs of construction to be erects alongaida theae fireproof buildings would be a liaHdehip upon the owners of the latter.
Mr. IJ. W. Bolden believed the result of ''the bylaw would 'be to encourage buFlding in the second limit, to the detriinciit of the first limit, and Cap- lafti H. K. CuUin asserted that the re-, cent' statement made by an alderman that It was to the financial advantage of the architects to be permitted to erect inferior buildings In the first limit was wholly wrong. On the con- trary, the more money spent .on a building the more the architect of the structure received. Personally, he had ■prepared plans for a $40,000 structure which win not be built if the class A tyfe rriuiJt 'be put up.
Aldoi-man Stewart stated that a fur- ther meeting of tVe council committe.e by which the bylaw is being' considered WHll be held on Monday afternoon, and tWi3''nit;asiire"Trltl -b e"Tc gain taken- "trpa-t^ the council meeting on that evening, w'beii consideration of the deputation's reiqlizests would be iiad.

A KATXOITAZ. 'OBX.iaATION
No speech on Canada's part In naval defence has aroused such Interest ' In ("rrcat Britain as that recently deliver- ed by Mr. W. T. %Vhlt-, tlie Minister of I'Mnance. It will he remembered that he liolnted out that this country was pre- pared to take her full share in hearing tiic burden of arrnaniertts, and this pro- nouncement of Ills has been received in l-".ngland as an Inspiring response to the -statement of Mr. Churchill tliat the Ad- jiilrally would widcome and assist, in so far ;i.s possible, any effort.") made by the Uverscas Dominions looking to de-' Xeijce measures. Th.; following leading editorial from a recent issue of the I^ondon Daily Mail perhaps summarizes the attitude of the people of ICngland towards an Imperial naval defence ueheme:
The speech of the Dominion MInl.s'ter of Finance, announcing that the people and i'arliament i;f Canada are prepar- ed to do tlieir full .share in the matter of Imperial defence, is the direct and Inspiring response of "the eldest son of the Kmpire " to Mr. Churchill's recent appeal. Mr. Churchill has pointed out that the policy of naval concentration which developments In Kurope have forced upon us has impaired the mo- hlllty of our fleet and we.-ikened Itfl power of action in distant waters. Jn these circumslaiices he has turned bold- ly lo "the strong young nations" of the l>omlnlont«, and has called upon them t> do their part. While the Mother Country guards the decisive centre, will they "keep the flag flying on the oceans of the world" and patrol the dlstatrt seas?
Upw (trave is the emergency the de- bate in the Reichstag on German for- *dgn policy has shown. Germany, we must now take It for certain, means to increase har navy to the utmost point of which her finances will permit. To enable us to meet the vast force which I J concentrating in the North Sea. we Jiave been compelled to withdraw our flair from distant waters. hhit we do not stand alone. Mr. ChtirchiU's and lilH pre<l«ceasors' appeals to the Domln- lonn have not fallen upon denf ears, Australia is building a Dreadnought and providing an Australian squadron to police the Pacific. New Zealand is con- tributtnv a Dreadnought for the sam« purpose. Now. as Mr. 'tVhlte'a speech and a remarkable article In the Mont- leal Star have shown. Canada is comtng Into line with th«m. The action of tbe l>Milaions, provided it la taken In time, ca^ and will turn tiie scale. TMir

The reason alleged by the sun for the readiness of Mr. Borden lo give the ofHce to Mr. Bow- ser is tliat he wants to weaken Mr. McBrlde. This seems supremely silly. It Is not necessary to discuss the value of Mr. Bowser's services to the prov- Inei' In .his present poBition, and his value as a colleague of Mr. MeBrlde. VS'hul seeins preposterous Is to suggest that Mr. Bordfn could make use of the office of Chairmanship of so Important a body as tiie IJallway Commission to Interfere poUtle.illy with Mr. McBrlde, even If he had any desire lo do so.

IMPROVE LIME STREET
That Thoroughfare 'WUl Be Link to
Connect Catherine Street 'With
Buisell Street
The announccmeat that the govern- ment intends to proceed at an early date with the erection of a handaomie block on the site recently .acquired at the soi^thwest corner of Government and Superior Streets Is Indicative of the immense growth of huslnciss In the par- liament bullding.s. The expansion of the government offices in tlie (:;lpital is keepin.g pace with the .lyrowth of the province.
In view of the legal dlfflcultles en- countered by the city when It was proposed to Widen Ksquimalt road be- tween Catherine street and Hussell street the city councir has decided that Lime street shall be the connecting link between the former thoroughfare and I'^.sMuiraalt road at Russell street. The B. i:, Klectrlc Iteilway cflmpaity has requested the city to sUto along whieh ' thoroughfare it is to lay its heavy rails preparatory to the city undertukln.g paving work. Reecntl'y the council de- termined to pave Lime street and the company will be Instructed to lay its rails along the letter thoroughfare.
Owners on Esquimau roati, which the city In 190'J attempted to wMlcn bv expropriating the necessary land on both sides, claimed th'at no thorough- fare exists. The original pUin of sur- vey on file in the registry office shows no roadway at that point and no dedi- cation of land for street purposes has ever been made. All that was shown on the original iilan was a line indicat- ing a right-of-w«y, but no width was assigned to it and the owners, when the city "attempted to widen to slxty-sIx feet, presuming that the present road- way was public property, claimed their properties extended to the centre line of the existing thoroughfare.
The city thereupon dropped expro- priation proceedings, and in view of the aeltlcment of the reserve question and the possibility of Lime street be- ing continued through In an easterly direction to the Arm It wa.<? decided to improve that street and make It the main thoroughfare' from Oathcrlm street to Russell street.

With the growing number of civic motor cars the necessity of a munici- pal garage to hous»* the machines haa been brought to the attention of the streets committee of the council by City Knglneer Rust, who also points out the neceaslty of securing a car for the use of himself or his assistant.
Mr. Rust's suggestion was constrt^red at yesterday afternoon's meeting of the committee, and during the discussion reference was made to the fact that while tiicre are a number of cars be- longing to the city It stems impossible for the engineer to secure the use of one Just when he requires it.
Incidentally it was recalled that al)out two months ago the council or- dered that all city cars should bear an Inscription setting forth to wliat de- partment the car was assigned, but that so rar the order has nut been fol- lowed.
Mr. Rust suggested that as the city cars arc at present being kept In vari- ous garages, at expon.»e to the city. It would be more satisfactory to erect a garage at the new city yard on Rock Bay. where they could be properly kept in repair, lie made it clear that he must have a cftr, i though he ex- pllfilned that If^^o B^at cars covered a greater portion' Kif' the city and the servloe was.' li^or^ adequate he would not require a niachlneV ' • „. . ;

Engineer Advises Ootuicll
Agalnat It
It is understood thait the govern- ment is considering the advisabiliiy of setting aside an area of land known as Mount Revelstoko and ad.iacent peaks as h provincial reserve with tiio ultimate idea of developing it as u park similar to the Buttlies Lake dis- trict. The scenery in this part of the province is of considerable grandeur. The summit of Mount llevclstoke Is said to be of such a character as lo comprise a semi-circular pl.ateau, which might readily bo turned into e golf course during the sutnmcr months. If this were done the surroundings of sncli a golf course would be probably the most unusual In the world. It is difflcult to Imagine playing the royal game amid a circle of sH'OW peaks and In plain view of some of the most mag- nificent glaciers in the Selklrks. The altitude of such a links would be COOO fe«t. We. question If there would be a more eleva.ted course In the world.

Despite Hip ob.lect1on lakrn by some owners on Topaz avenue, between Doug- las street and Quadra street, to the grade which was fixed last year pre- paratory to the improvement of the thoroughfare liy tlie eonstructlon of pavement and boulevards, the city coun- cil, if It adopts thfi suggestion of the city engineer, will make no change, but will prosecute the work as originally planned. The claim Is made by some of the owners tliat since factories arc loi'ating on the street the grade a.t fixed permits of too stnpp gradients for hauling of materials, and further that iiiiiievards are not needed upon a street wlileh in time will liecoiiie a business Ihorouglifare.
City I'^nKlneer Rust, at .\cslcrday's meeting of the streets committee, stat- ed that possibly the existing grade could be alteii'd somewhat, but the ex- pense of nuiving the curb and gutter alreaily eonatruet»d would be eon.ild- cntbie and In addition a large amount of filling in would be necessary. The cost of tills work would have to be borne b.v the city, and even were the change In grade made tiiere would not be very much of an improvement. He was not prepared to recommend the change, though doubtless the grade, while satisfactory for a residential street, might not prove so for a busi- ness thoroughfare. Me recommended that no change be made and the own- ers will be so informed.
Complaint has also been made of the city's action in ■ widening i|<'oul Bay road, from Fort street southerly to the city limits, by the exproprlntion of fif- teen feet from the west side of the thoroughfare. Owners on the ulty side of the street urge that the expropria- tion be divided equally between the two sides of the «treet. owners on the Oak Bay aide of the road to contribute to tnc cost. The opinion of the city solid' tor on the point of whether the city can foree Oak Bay owners to contribute to the widening scheme will be ae- cured. a

I'lsiiiiig regulation as an interna- tional problem has received more than usual attention recently through the joint conference In thl.'? city of repre- sentativo.s of the state of Washington ami the province of British Columbia. .'^oiiie of the blunt Hlalemcnts made by proifilneiit men from both sides of the linrder in attendance at tlic sessions leave no doubt that they feel un Ini- pirati\e need for niodiilicatlon of exist- ing sla.luies, particularly in the state •of Washington. The attitude of the American committee indli'nted a feel- ing among its members that recommen- dations Inoking toward substantia! re- forms siiould be presented for the crm- sldcration of the state legislature at Us next ses.sloii. There lias been indication that the fishing Interests will oppose any ehanges which will restrict the taking of fish. Particular objection has been voiced to the suggestion that the weekly "clos.-: season" shall be forty- eight instead of thirty-six hours In length. The question of merit in the stand assumed by these Intereat.s is all Important, beeause such Information will l\e essential in deciding on the good faith of their arguments and counter-proposals. Un broad principles, theref can be no question that the In- terests of the state and the fishing firms arc Idimtlcal. What horm.<^ one in- flicts a blow on the other.

Darrow Brlberjr Trial
LOS ANGKLBS, . June 7. — Today's proceedings a.t the trial of Clarence S. Darrow for alleged bribery, consisted principally of ob.<»lructivc tactics with defense and prosecution alternating in the blocking of the opposing counsel!a attempts to elicit facts from B^rt H.

No. 2 will also cross the Frascr river, but Just below Lytion, albout half a mile from the C. P. R. station. The portion of this bridge over the water win con.slst of a 2S2-feet riveted .span, with flanking spans of 1.10 feet at each end. from which the centre span Is to be erected by cantileverlng. The ap- proaches will be of deck plate girders supported by concrete piers.
The third bridge crosses the Thomp- son river a very short distance above tlie mouth and within the limlt.s of the town of Lytton. At the west end of the bridge there Is to he a coni^rete abut- ment supporting a ninety-foot plate- girder span, following which there will be three 150-foot deck, open-webbed, rl veted-glrdcr spans, the westerly ens resting on either a small concrete abut- ment or a bearing cut Into the solid rock. The concrete piers are all to bo parallel to ihe current.
The fourth bridge spans the Thomp- son river midway bfttwecn .Spataum sta- tion and Black Canyon siding, both of wliich, by the way, are on the C. P. R. The superstructure of this bridge will consist of six 125-ft. deck, open- webbed, riveted spans, supported by five con- crete piers and two conVrete abutments. Vrnxt of the piers have to rest on pneu- mH.tlc caissons, and the other pier and abutments a-'^e to have ordinary earth founilatlons. •
Proceeding up the river the fifth bridge will cross at about six miles be- low Ashcroft. This bridge will consist of a single through truss span of a1>out 16 feet resting on little concrete abtit- ments that are resting on solid rock. As the final survey of this crossing has not yet been made, the span length may have to be changed later. As the bridge Is located over a nnrro-n- deep gorge, It will be necessary to erect by cantilev- erlng and anchoring back Into thp solid rock.
Two miles above Ashcroft is the lo- cation of the next bridge, and this one will consist' of six 93-ft. dock-plate- glrder skew spans on concrete piers having shafts parallel to the current. These shafts will rest on cribs con- taining concrete and piles. If the latter can he driven, as In all probability they can by u.iing water Jets, for the ma- terial to be penetrated Is mainly sand and gravel. Covered In many places with boulders.
At a point located another mile above Ashcroft Is the next bridge. This bridge, which will be on a skew, will consist of twelve 85-ft. deek-plate-glrrter spans resting on eleven concrete piers and two concrete abutments.
Bridge No. S will bisect the river at a point about one mile below the town of Wallachln. This structure will consist of eleven 93-ft. deck-plate-gtrder, skew spans. These will rest on ten concrete piers and two concrete abtitraents to be founded on fi*lH". If they can be driven. The penultimate one on the list is due to cross the Thompson at a place almost midway between Wallachin and &avbnas, which stations are some seven mlleM Apart. At the west end of the bridce location there Is a rocky hill from the foot of which the bridge Will start with a throush skew span of about 200' t*>4t, then will com« six half- tbrouyh, plate-girder skew spans of fl

But perhaps the type he likes best, and which by the- way he regards as the bridge of the future. Is the vertical lift bridge, of which he la the Inventor. In addition to carry- ing out many important bridge works Dr. "Waddell has written numerous books and papers on scientific engineer- ing. Among the most notable of these was "Nickel Steel for Bridges," which went thoroughly into the que.Tllon of the suitability of that material for engin- eering purposes.
Three years had been devoted to the study and when he came to make -his report Dr. AVaddell was able to assert that the alloy could be used satlafac- lorlly. and as a proof of Its utility it has since been used in the construc- tion of the Manhattan bridge. New York, the I'Vec bridge, St. 'Douis,* and the new Qu'Cbec bridge. I'^'or his paper treating of the value of nickel in this respect Dr. Waddell was awarded the -Vorman modal.

BAPTIST CONVENTION.
Baptists throughout British t.'olunrbia are looking forward with keen interest to the annual convention which la to be held in ,\'cw Westminster. June 25 to 2S. Fortj-three churches and eight missions will ho represented, but the names of the delegates from Victoria will not Vie announced until later on in the month.
Looking back upon tiie year the Bap- tist church In this province has much lause for tliankfulness. .Many new churches have been built and others have been rendered self-supporting. In' all nine new buildings have been erect- ed, eight congregations organized, three more are In the process of building, while alx have become self-supporting. The totab «trength of tlie Bapthst de- nomination in this province Is about 4000.
-Approximately $1000 a month has been given to missionary purposes, and this in addition to several thousands of dollars contributed for extension work | in the cities, especially In Vancouver and New Westminster. Home mission '.\ork Is also being carried on among the .Scandinavians in the Kootenay country and In. this city, where plans are on foot to organize a mission, while ■work is also being carried on among tile colored residents in V^ancouver. In far-off India the church has a.ssumed Ihe responsibility for the conversion lo t'hrlstlanlty of 4,.")00,000 Telegus. An im- l>ortant branch of the missionary work in that country is the colporteur work, by means of which 50,000 bible books and religious tracts are annually dis- tributed.
The work of the Baptist church In Bolivia was recently publicly recognized by the government of that republic, which te»tlHe<l In the value of the work of the mission and provided them with ample liberty to continue it.
An Interesting figure at the conven- tion, should his many ditties permit of his being present, will he Rev. .T. O. Brown, of Toronto, foreign missionary secretary for the Baptist church in Can* ada.

The consumer's protest will not be against the price he now^ pays, but against the price he formerly paid Dealers figured to make a profit of anywhere from 20 per cent, to 100 per cent, on coffee. Now that their profits have been cut to the bone, they ore loudly complaining, and their pro- tests have induced the American gov- ernment to lake the matter up, and hold an investigation. The facts so far es- tablished shotv that there is a coffee trust, but that Is a business carried on under the patronage of the Brazilian government, and that government is very likely to take the ground th.at it is no more the busines.s of the United .Stales government or any other power to investigate the contJUions in the coffee trade than it Is the business of the Brazilian government to investigate the .somewhat similar reasons for the advance of cotton grown in the L'niteil States.
Coffea In Sao Paolo. Brazil produces two-thirds of the cof- fee of the world, and the State of Sao Paolo Is the centre of the Brazilian coffee trade. l'>om ISS.'i to \»^h Sao Paolo had a period of development thai Is comparable with the growth of the Western Canadian provinces In the past ten years. Coffee was to the rancher of Sao Paolo what wheat is to the Sas- katchewan farmer, and in the ten years mentioned prices for coffee ruled very high, being In tiie neighborhood of 20c. per pound. In that prosperous decade coffee-growing became a sort of craze. ^lOvery man in Sao Paolo who had a bit of land planted coffee trees on It. and begrudged the space for any other sort of crop. He would rather buy his tabb.- vegetables than .spa.re any of his val- uable coffee land for the purpose of raising them. As a result of increasing acreage, prices gradually declined, and , presently there was more coffee on the market than the world demanded. The .result was that In 1908 coffee wa% down to 7 cents a pound.
Xdmlting' ths Snpply The Brazilian government came to the conclusion that unless the coffee crop was reduced It.s greatest Industry TV'ould be ruined, so It passed a law which taxed new coffee plantations. This tax killed off further competition, but It had to come rather <ate In the, day, for hundreds of coffee planters were ruined and their estates sold for the mortgages. Finally some bold spirit conceived the Idea of a coffee pool in the United States. When this scheme was put in operation It was not called a pool, but a system of valorization, and It is under that name that U Is now discu.ised. The State of Sao Paolo un- dertook to purchase the coffee crop of the country, and for this purpose raised $15,000,000. On the excellent credit of the State it was not difflcult to borrow the money, but the lenders ha4 'little faith that the plan to standardise the price of coffee would be succeaafal. However, as Sao Paolo was b. solvent debtor, the money was advanced and with It the agents of the cqiffee growers bought in the crop and stored U for a rise.

Xemand Oaaaa Hava Freoedeuce — To obviate the delay which has hitherto taken place in police court proceedings because of the practice of hearing new cases before other case,q on remand have been disposed of^ hereafter all cases on remand will have precedence over new charges and will come on for ihearing immediately after the over- night inebriates have been disposed of. Yesterday morning Mr. M^ C. Moresby, solicitor for an individual on itrinand from a previous day's court session. pointed out to Acting Magistrate Prior that It very often happens ttiat cases postponed from a previous hearing have to wait until all 'new" cases have been disposed of, thus wasting the time of client and solicitor as well a.s put- ting the former to further expense. Acting Magistrate Prior agreed with Mr. Moresby and ordered that hereafter the prosecution take each case on re- mand in proper order immediately the Inebriate list Is disposed of. church held its first lawn social of tlm season last evening at the charming residence of Mr. O.

MVn JWiitWa — »laat — Htercafti^ when individuals or conti'actora bormw city plant for the purpose Pf carryint; out works the borrowers must deposit with the city engineer a marked cheque to the amount of the value of the plant borrowed, and if the plant is rcturneyi in igood condition an amount conaidereci a fair rental will be deducted. In case of any damage to the plant the cosi of repair also will be held back by the city. This policy has been adopted by the city upon the suggestion of City Engineer Rust.
Bepairs to Wood Block Pavements — In view of the fact that repairs are necessary to some of the wood block povements tlie city engineer will report a.s to whether It will be cheaper to treat the required number of blocks at the city's creosote plant or purchase the blocks already treated from an out- side source. Ai>proximately \l,.()i\a blocks will bn required. On somi- streets where the wood block pavemfnts have almost lasted the specified term of years untreated blocks will be used, but on other pavements the blocks must li ' livated.
Approach to City Tard— To afford a proper approach to the new city yards on Rock Bay, adjoining Bi-idge street, that thoroughfare will be continued in a straight line through the city proper- ty by the erection of a culvert and the necessary filling In. Work has already been commenced upon the erection of the various buildings which will pro- vide accommodation for the Viirlous civic plants and materials, the black- .smlths shop already having been built, the neces.sary equipment for which i.s now bcinns ordered. -VppUcation.'j for tile position of blacksmith will soon be callc.l for.
Worthern Pixea — Xo official repor' has yet reached the forestry depart- ment connected with forest fire.s re- ported from Fo-rt George and Trte Jdune Cache, and it is believed thai tlie reports are somewhat exaggerated. Mr. M. A. Grainger, who is the head of the forest tire wardens, stated last night that he had wired Fort George for In- formation. He was inclined to think fhat the stories a.s reported were ovcr- .stAt*ng the facts considerably. One hundred miles of fire struck him jis a spectacular ratner than an acc-;'-atc figure, and he declined to entertain It without thf hMcUing of an, official re- port.
Poles Should toe Painted— if thr city
has the necessary authority to order It the various companies using poles on city streets will bo requested to paint them. City Engineer Rust suggested t:> the streets committee yesterday that t!ip company so using the city streets •should be forced to paint their poles, a different color being used by each company. The poles would not present such a bad appearance as now and the painting would tend tw preserve them. In view of the fact that there is some doubt as to the extent to which the city can force the •companies to go In tills particular the city solicitor will be a.sked to report.

There «re now many great r'yers with tunnels undei* them, liven when onf Is sunk lo such a depth and carried so far ahing as the one under liic Hud- ■vn at tstyrm Kiuj; for the new aciiu- duct ir-excitcs uuly a moment's won- der.
ducli tunnels are generally driven under the water oh the same plan, aad lliat plan was taught lo ' an engineer hy a Worm.

Brunei did the satne tiling. He mad ■' large steel tubes and pushed tiicm into the earth and then he forced cement in between the tube and wet ground about it so that it set as haijd- as a sock. All tunnels urttler water, arc built on tho 'saime plan now New York Sun.

There Is no excuse for reck- liss motoring. Dut. the punishment of thi' offender wguld be small consolation ti» til" parents who received the iiianKled body of a child carelessly al- lowed to gel Into the way pf a car. There arc few housea on the principal thorouKhfarea where there is not room for' children to play In yards or gar- dens around their own homes. The sidewalks and boulevards arc safe for tht llltle onesl*' But, no matter how cautious motorists ,ma'y be, the Blrecl itHeif Ih" H very dangerous playground for bpy.s and girls. Too- great cautioh is seldom repented of.

Victoria Branch
Build Well We are msking a city in Victoria, and some think Tt wl^l be a very large .me. If citizens arc wise they will profit by t'jc mistakes of those bulbi- ers of cities who have gone before. The following article from the .Mon- treal Herald is worth reading by tho electors who have twice refuseit to pass a playgrounds bylaw:
A Ittn-, :i Bat and a Da II 'Alollitr." said a llltle boy who lives below NOtro L)aiT)p street, "1 liavc a ball and a hat aWl a ghue, but i have no place to play."
The hoy iiad .not made any ^'i^ry si^r- iou.s ^st'udy of tlie jiroMems of social or^Mnlzutlon, but, he thought he had x rl;;la to a place to play. if he liad no views alimit his' rights,, he ktiow, any- linw, thai he wanted to iilay, and the rest of us know that tliis Is the most convLiicing sign of his physical fitness, thn best indication . that he has il In liirn lo grow up Into «i cltaeii lapiible of hearlns his share.
\Vho took lliiil boy's playground away from him?
Obviously. U was somebody who knew nothlnj^ about the boy, for all thi; land around there was built upon lon.nr befeire tho, boy was horn. The theory was that l;'.ntl Is a thing lo build bouses on, not to" play ui^jn, and, be- sides, until the last few Imuses wcr« built on the kist few lots (which wore • Ihiii at theis hlphest price) there were plinty of iilaecH lo play. The people ■,\ ho htolc that hoy's i)l«yground are long !Jgo dead, an^l tliey only built upon their own Inml nnyhmv. .\tn1 .-jo _ are' tlie people who liHd the chance to put aside a 'bit of hind for idajground and didn't do it. Tl>e l)o^• «ho has lost Ills place in the sun bei'aii-ic they did not foresee, or, seeing, did not insist, will nevei' know who or wliat they were. He only knows lie has been cheated when, htivlivg a but and a bull and a glove, he flPd.s he has no place to play.

TooBEall player %pitOug|iout 6rea,t BrHain, has decldea to make Victoria his home. (He held the captaincy oi^ the Welsh ftfteien In fecent bajttles and has established records; in try _;scori ng and in goal kickia^. Being "equally: good at half back or thri^- quarter, al-j though preferring' the former post,' there is no doubt ithat he will prove a valuable addition to the Victoria team. In a letter dated May 24 Mr.J Thomas Informs Mr. Moresby that he.; had taken passage on the steamer^ Corslcan, which left Liverpool on May- 30 sd that he will be here in a 'few days.

Wiaiter Thonii«s4ti. ^ of th*. Beattle Athletic club, is in wtdfig ^ on ' his assertion that "Horlne is a phony jumper." Horlne himself has repudiat- ed the unfair, unjust end unsportsman- like attacks made on his style by Thomassen.
