A freight steamer resembling the larg-
err lake carriers, from the yard of Seat
tie builders. has been facetiously styled
the Submarine by sailors of the coast,
because her decks are freely swept by
water But the new ship will doubtless
show that she can keep afioat with the
dryest of ocean packets" Water rolls
over lake craft quite freely during gales,
but they always rise and shake it off,
like ducks.

The story from Racine that cabbage
growers who have been disappointed in
the price for the crop of 1907 are MAX

will doubtless take steps, as do the can
ners Of vegetables and fruits, to insure
supplies for the annual pack.

Admiral Rojestvensky's remarks con-
corning the long voyage of the American
fleet of battleships are of interest, be-
cause the Admiral has to his credit the
successful management of the Russian
fleet which steamed from the Atlantic
to the Pacific ocean by way of the Suez
route, to meet the Japanese on the Sea of
Japan. This achievement gives him n
place in naval history, despite the de-
struction of his fleet by the more conf
dent and energetic japanese, whose ships
were in prime order for battle, while the
Russian vessels were unfit for active
engagement.

occurred in No. 2 mine, Coal Creek.
about eight o'clock Friday morning
and as result "a miners were en-
tombed. All means OF escape appeared
to be cut on. and grave fears were en-
tertained for their getting out alive, as
the mine filled with gas and the work
OF rescue was very slow on this ac-
count.
A large number OF rescuers went to
work trying to get fresh air to the
men, but some 600 or 700 yards Of
rock and coal had to be dug through
before the men could be rescued
Special trains with mine officials and
doctors aboard were rushed from
Fernie to the scene of the accident.
Late in the afternoon, when all hope
had been given up, 21 miners were
rescued. Three men are still missing
The men who were rescued owe
their lives to the fact that the com
pressed air pipes leaked, and the es.
Gaping air kept back the gases which
otherwise would have suffocated them.
Philip Coldwell was brought out of
the mine in a precarious condition. He
was farther in the mine than were the
others and he suffered from gas
The three men who are still en-
tombed are in that portion of the mine
where the gas is most deadly and are
entirely cut off from fresh air. There
Is slight hope of their rescue.

story Of unusual interest The objec-
tions are made by counsel for Isabel

Mr.. Hart left an estate valued at

Italian girl, as his daughter, and soon
afterward separated from his wife.
He subsequently obtained divorce
from her and she returned to New

lowance up to the time OF his death.
Mrs. Hart claims the divorce was
never legally obtained by her hus-
band.
Nine. Gabrielle Juliette Antoinette

over Mr.. Hart's Paris establishment,

Hundred Lives Known to Have Been

In Danger Of Destruction.

Cranbrook, b. c., Aug, 3.-Nine
towns on the Crows Nest branch of
the Canadian Pacific railroad have
been wiped out, and many others are
In danger of destruction by the fiercest
bush fires ever known in Eastern
Canada.
One hundred lives are kown to have
been lost, "a in Ferine alone; hun
dreds have been injured, and the mon
etary loss runs into the millions.
Both the Canadian Pacific and
Great Northern railroads have been
badly crippled in the territory affect
ed, and as telegraphic communication
is almost entirely interrupted it is i'm
possible at this time to obtain definite
figures as to loss of life and property.
The fire is raging in the Elko valley,
the richest coal and lumber district In
British Columbia. 1t is in the extreme
southeastern corner of the province,
Just north of the Montana state line.
The towns known to have been
destroyed, with their population, are:
Fernie, 5000; Michel, 1900; Coal
Creek, 1,500; Sparwood, 200; Elko.
400; Olsen, 1870; Morrissey, 800; Hos
mer, 400, and McGillivray, 100.
Cranbrook itself has suffered prop
erty loss of S2,O0O,O0O and its inhabi-
tants are dividing their efforts be-
tween a brave attempt to have their
own town and heroic measures to
Buccor surrounding communities.
Nine hundred square miles already
have been swept by the flames and It
is feared that scores of homesteaders
have met death in the deep woods.
Unless there is a change of winds
soon the whole of the Crows Nest
Pass country will be left to the flames.
For the past month forest fires have
been raging in the mountains OF the
Elk river valley country, but they
have not been considered serious.
Saturday morning a heavy wind
sprang up from the west, and early
In the afternoon the flames appeared
over the crest of the mountains to the

Scattered through the valley are
many small prairies, and all OF these

The hills in all directions are a

every avenue of escape. The fire

who tried to get through the pass have
been cut off.
