"Will you not convey to the patri
otic citizens of the west my very
earnest hope that they will deny you
no service which they can render?"

TIED UP B! SHE
,VAX COUVER, B. C, June 13: A
strike ot street conductors and mo
tormen this morning tied up all the
lines of Vancouver, North Vancouver
and New Westminster, owned by the
British Columbia Electric railway.
.Not a wheel turned and the company
made no effort to take the cars out
of the barns. Recently the union pre
sented a demand for an increase of
wages to meet the high cost of living.
The company offered a compromise,
which was not accepted. There has
been no disturbance.
It is stated that the company will
make no effort to operate a service.
WASHINGTON, Juno 13. The
Russian mission to the United States
headed by Boris A. Bakhmetieff as
special nmbussador, has landed at a
Pacific port,. The party, consisting
of about forty members will stop
first nt Seattle, Vn., and proceed at
once to Washington, D. C.
The mission passed thru Yokohama
about eleven days ngo and conse
quently made a quick and easy trip.
Baron Cngern, one of the secretaries
of the Bussian embassy here, met
the party and will escort it across
the continent to Washington. In Chi
cago Breckenridge Long, third as
sistant secretary of state will join
the mission. Such courtesies ns
were extended to the British, French
and Italian special missions will be
extended to Ambussador Bakhmetieff
and his party.
The head of the Russian mission
comes to Washington in a double ca
pacity, first as the head of the ex
traordinary embassy sent by the pro
visional government to extend to the
United States its thanks for entry in
to the war on the side of tho entente
allies and to arrange for material as
sistance from this country, and sec
ond, ns ambassador resident, until
such time as the provisional govern
ment can make a permanent appointment.
LI-
LONDON, June 13. A dispatch to
the Exchange Telegraph from Copen
hagen snys German submarines are
operating on the west coast of Nor
way against the valuable Norwegian
sealing and whaling fisheries.
"The Dagblntt says," according to
the correspondent, "that yesterday
the whaler Svro It was sunk outside
of Tromsoe, and that another whaler,
the Svrcdrup, was sunk near Falso,
the latter having a cargo of 300 seals.
The crew was given two minutes to
enter the ship's boats."
COPENHAGEN, June 1.1. The
convention of the radical party in
Prussia at which resolutions on va
rious reforms were passed, serves to
call attention to the somnolence of
the political reform movement after
its phase of activity synchronizing
with the Bussian revolution and Am
ericas' entry into the war.
The German press has practically
ceased discussion of the reform ques
tion and nothing is being dono townrd
the modernization of the Siets of the
federated states and nothing is now
being heard of the flood of proposals
to extend the electoral franchise,
abolish or reform the hereditary or
appointive upper houses in almost all
states of the empire.
The policy of Chancellor Von
Belhinann-IIollweg and the conserva
tives to defer the attempt to reform
the Prussinn three class frnnehi.se
until the end of the wtir prevailed
against the demand for an immodinlo
reform voiced by the socialists and
rndicals. The delay in taking up this
urgent reform until the restoration
of peace was treated ns a matter of
course by socialist speakers. Philip
Sclieidemann, chairman of tho reich-
stag reform committee, is busy at
Stockholm with an attempt to delneh
Russia from the entente allies and
has abandoned for the time being in
terest in tho work of the commit
tee. There are two obvious reasons for
the decline of the reform movement.
One is the cockiness of tho govern
ment, which feels very suro of its
strength and position in view of the
eollnpse of Bussia's offensive power
and of the fading effect upon the
reform movement of the Bussian rev
olution nnd America's war declaration
against German autocracy. The sec
ond is the usuul tendency of reform
movements to run themselves out
after a brief period of spasmodic
activity if reformers are allowed to
have their heads for a time.
CAIU) OF THANKS.
We wish to thank our friends and
neighbors for their help nnd sympa
thy during the illness and death of
our father and brother, James D
Fredenburg. Also for the many beau
tiful floral offerings.

WASHINGTON, June 13. 'Hearing
on the applications of the railroads
for a 15 per cent horizontal raise in
freight lates wora closed by the In
terstate commerce commission today.
After three weeks ot testimony and
argument, the commission has eigh
teen days in which to consider the
case.
A 15 per cent advance would mean,
in round number, $300,000,000 annu
ally, according to figures of tho ship
pers and would affect virtually every
big industry In the country.
The carriers have rested their case
on the statement that Increased labor
costs due to the Adamson luw and
higher costs of materials, fuel and
supplies have created an emergency.
Shippers have submitted data do-
signed to show that the earnings of
the roads are on an increase and that
the year 1917 will be- the best In his
tory, except 1916, which was the peak
period ot railway earnings and ad
mitted to be abnormal. They contend
that carriers handling two-thirds of
the traffic are In prosperous financial
condition.
