Ownere Are Not Worrying;���A Big Syndioate Being Formed to Work Properties. THE POLITICAL SITUATION W. A. Galliher, M. P., Speaks in Ferguson for the Liberal Candidate- Brief Reports From the Lower Part of the Riding. 'Tt makes us feel satisfied we have a great mine, when peoplo are resorting to all kinds of tricks to try and steal it from us;" was Billy Pool's remark this morning as he was shown a newspaper coutainiug the story of tho alleged dispute over the title to the Lucky Jack. '���There really is no dispute," he continued. "Our title has been very caro- fullv investigated by two of the best lawyers in British Columbia and pronounced perfectly good. Anyway we are,-prepared to defend it against all comers. Thero was never a great mine discovered yet but somebody tried to work a bluff and establish a title to which they had no more right than tho man In tbe moon. What their object was you can guess for yourself. "We bave not been asleop over there. We knew all the doings of the would-be claim jumpers weeks ago, and we not only have good men watching our interests, but we have plenty of monoy behind us to fight a lawsuit if anybody is reckless enough to start one; but you can take It from me that nothing of the kind is likely to happen. Wo know what we are doing, and we know what the other follows are doing, and we are just standing pat and keeping our powder dry. "Wo are allowing some of our friends to have a slice in our good fortune and propose issuing a prospectus 1 shortly and selling a limited number of shares, and any person who invests with ua can havo his money back any timo he aBks for it. We have never allowed any of our friends to lose a cent yot and wo never will. On the contrary, thore is not a Blngle ono of them but has made money with us. And we are going to tloat our new company in suah a way that no shareholder can possibly lose. We are going to put in every gold property we own, and ne have .no less than twenty-one of them, including the Ophir Lade at Camborne, a developed mine which will be ready in a few days to .produce bullion, and tbo Swede group, at Poplar creek, which is now acknowledged to be a bigger and rioher thing than even the great Lucky Jack. "Lose tho Lucky Jack ? Pshaw I Why If tbe law allowed such things as these jumpers are trying to do no mine owner in British Columbia would be safe, Tf that sort of thing holds good I could go in and steal every claim in Poplar Creek."���Calgary Herald. Hon. R. F. Green Captures the Liberal Meeting in Kaslo���Rev. Wilson's Lecture on Socialism���Chas, Wilson in Nelson. THB TOPIO ANSWERED. To the Editor ol the Lardcan Eagle: Sir.���Our Liberal and Conservative friends are struggling hard to make out tbat some Socialists are as guilty as themselves for sending to outside points for goods, many of which they admit cannot be obtained locally. This matter has been threshed out bo often tbat it has become a chestnut, so I will merely say that while the Socialists as a party are striving to abolish a system that encourages Chinese, ohoap labor and sweat shops, the old parties are making a death struggle to perpetuate this very system and a condition, which tbey are the ones to took against.

Hon. R. P. Green held a political meeting in the Odd Fellow's hall at Trout Lake on Tuesday night the 15th inst., when the following speakers were present and took part in the discussion: Hon. R, P. Green, C. W. MoAnn, A. Carney, John L. Retallack, John Keen, S. Shannon, A. J. Gordon and J, O'Brien. The meeting was -a large one, many being present from Perguson and tho mines, and as far as we could judge the sentiment and applause seemed pretty exually divided between Mr. Green and Mr. Shannon, while Mr. Retallack seemed very muoh like a stray sheep. Mr. J. C. Murray mado an excellent chairman and appeared to give satisfaction to all parties, yet his duties were light. Mr. Green opened tho meeting, and in a speech covering about one hour explained matters with which he was connected of a political nature during the past few years. He also touched lightly on local politics and spoke at Borne length on the platform and principles of the Liberal-Conservutive party. His remarks were well received and he proved an interesting speaker. *Mr. John L. Retallack, tho Liberal candidato, followed and spoke for 30 minutes. Ho delivered his remarks in an easy and graceful manner and showed some knowledge of politics, but we would not judgo that politics is his mission on earth. He appears to possess a pretty thorough knowledge of mining and has done good to the industry in this province. In that realm he could be helpful, but in tho arena of practical politics he seems as it were at sea in a frail bark. Mr. S. Shannon was tbo next speaker and, taking lo minutes, having divided his allotted time with Mr. Gordon. Mr Shannon delivered his remarks In a deliberate and forcible manner and do- voted most of his time to answering arguments introduced by the previous speakers He left tho outlining of the principles of Socialism to Mr. O'Brien who spoko later. Mr. Shannon did not appear at easo in tho rolo of a politician, and he is wholly 'inexperienced. However his romarks wore well received and he was loudly applauded. Mr, Chas. McAnn of Kaslo followed, then Mr. John Keen, Mr. A. J..Gordon, Mr. A. Carney and Mr. O'Brien. The meeting closed about midnight with cheers for Green and Shannon. marks would rather lead one to beliovo him to be a professional politician. Ho appears convinced that tlio adoption of Socialism is the only solution of the problem that faces us regarding capital and labor. Mr. Wilson handled both the old political parties rather severely, the Conservatives especially, for somo reason or other, ware much ridiculed. A little boy who sat in tho audionce came to our reporter and asked: "Say! Who are thoso bad Conservatives?" "I am one," said the reporter. "Oh I I thought they were very bad men," said the boy. Wilson on Sooialism. Rev. Ben P. Wilson, tho Socialist lecturer who is touring the province, delivered an address in Eagle ball on Sunday night last to a large audience. Rev. A. K. Sharp, who was to have held his regular service in the hall gave way to Mr. Wilson at the request of Mr. Shannon, the Socialist candidate. A much larger congregation was present than usually gather to hear the gospel of the Bible preaohed. Mr, Wilson proved a fluent talker and kept his listeners' Interested and amused by hia sarcasm and original humor. We do not know how he came by the Rev. before his name, but anyway one would judge bim to be anything but a minister of the gospel. Hia manner and re- Green, and it seemed for a fow minutes that thoy would raise the roof, and it is safe to Bay that not a few of Mr. Re- tallaek's former supporters wero won over to ?ho popular sido by tho bit of stratagem whieh worked out so badly. The Oonservatives of British Columbia Have Stood True to the Interests of Workingmen. McBride and His Followers Work For the Whole People and the Country They Live in. Green's Kaslo Meeting. Tho Honorable R. F. Groen held a very satisfactory meeting in Kaslo on Saturday, the 19th inst. The Liberals evidently thought they would be able either to monopolize the time of the meeting or elso breako it up, but tliey gtjt what muat have been an unpleasant surprise. Mr. S. S. Taylor was imported from Nelson, but the Kaslo people did not hear him speak. An arrangement had been ontered into between Mr. Groen and Mr. Retallack regarding time limit and position, but when Mr. McAnn, the chairman, asked Mr. Retallack and Mr. Taylor to the platform, Mr. Retallack rose In the audionce and demanded a new arrangement and wished to address the audi' ence. The chairman asked Mr. Retallack to lake tho platform and express himself, otherwise lie would not be permitted to speak. Thereupon Mr. Retallack walked out ot the building, ilollowed by his supporters, who numbered 150 voters and non-voters. It is also said that fully one-third ofthe number wero not voters There were left ln the hall 1(10 Kaslo votors who cheered to tho echo. The meeting thon proceeded and proved a grand one. Retallaok's Kaslo Meeting. Liberal Candidate John L. Retallack held his first mooting In tho town of Kaslo on Monday night the :11st Inst. Much to tho disgust of tbo gentleman and his friends they woro inadvertently led Into a sort of trap which did not result to their advantage The Hon. Mr. Groen wns called away by wiro to settlo a littlo trouble that had arisen at Fernie and ho started for the scene of tho trouble, but another wtro was received which mado it unnecessary for the minister to leave, so he stopped off at Crawford Bay and returned to KaBlo in tho evening. The Liberals, wholly unaware ofthe chango of plans, published an untruthful report that the minister of mlnea had ahown the white feather and flown rather than meet W. A. Galliher, M. P., on the platform in his own town. About 9 o'cloek, after Candidate Retallack had made the most of Mr. Green's absence and his untruthful little story and was about to close hia lengthy speech, who should walk upon the platform but the man who had been accused uf showing the white feather��� Hon. R. F. Green. The large audience, we are informed by our reporter, gave round after round of ohieri {or Chas. Wilson at Nelson. The meeting in the Nelson opera house last Monday night, called by the Conservatives, -at whieh Hon. Chas. Wilson was the principal speaker, proved tho largost gathering of electors that has ever been seen in Nolson. Mr. John Houston, Conservative candidate, and [S. S. Taylor, the Liberal candidate, were presont and also spoke. Mr. Wilson made a wondorful speech lasting about, one and a hall hours, nnd was listened to most attentively by nearly overy man in the room. Mr. Taylor spent considerable time attempting to criticise Mr, Wilson's remarks, but ho did not pick a flaw big onough for a mosquito to crawl through. The contest will be vory close in Nelson.���Privnte Correspondence Last Night's Meeting. John L. Retallack's meeting in Per guson last night was woll attended, though, no doubt, owing to the bad weather, not nearly so many turned out as wero at the former meeting called by Hon. Mr. Groen. The great attraction last night was W. A. Gallihor, our member in the Houso of Commons. Strange as it may seem, this was tho lirst visit of Mr. Cilliher to Ferguson, or to the Lardoau, though ho has beeu our member for threo years. Mr. Galliher is oxcusablo in part, owing to tho riding of Yale- Kootonay-Cariboo being far too extensive for ono member, and traveling being vory expensive; yet ho could find time, etc., to como all the way from Ottawa and leavo his sessional duties to stump for the Liboral candidate in tho campaign that is being fought so sharply at this time. Mr. Galllher'sspooeh lust night dealt mostly with Dominion Issues, and his aim suomod to bo to impress upon tbo electors of Forguson that the Liberal government wus responsible for tho prosperity that is now enjoyed bv tlio poople of Canada, aud���to stretch tho imagination���should a Liberal government be elected for tho Province of Bt'itlsh Columbia, their enactments and good judgment would quickly placo this province iu a str.te of prosperity likewiso. Tho gentleman's listoners did not, however, appear to swallow- that apparently nauseating dose, though ho was given a most attentive hearing. Mr. Galliher proved an interesting platform speaker, and Ferguson people were glad to have tho opportunity of hearing him and making his acquaintance. Personally Mr. Gallihor is a splendid fellow and his friends are legion. Our only rogret is that he la not a Conservative. The Britlah Columbia board of hor ticulturo aro aaklng the government to give a bounty on crows, as they are very destructive in the fruit:.districts. Subsorlbe for the Lardemi Eaolb. Tho Conservative party is now and has been at all times tho friend of tho working men. Therefore in asking workingmen for their voto and influence in the coming election, tho tho Conservative party have a right to substantiate these facts by bringing to tbe.notioe of organ izod labor Bome of the many acts passed by tho Conservatives in tho local house in favor of the wage- earner. Section 10 of the Conservative platform roads as follows: "Tbat as industrial disputes almost invariably result in great loss and injury to both parties directly concerned und to tho public, legislation should bo passed to provide means for an amicable adjustment of such disputes between employers and employees." Coal Mines Regulation Act, 1888- Prohibits tho employment of women and children, Japanese and Chinese from working underground, and provides for the general protection of men working in minos. British Columbia Railway Act 18M��� Provides compensation for cattle killed, etc., thus protecting tho rancher and thc stockman. Mechanics Lien Act, 1891���Protects tho workingman by giving him a lien against any proporty on which he has worked, thus providing security for wages earned. Employers Liability Act, 1891���Provides for compensation to working men for injuries received in factories und on railways. Apprentices and Minors Act, ISO"��� Provides for apprenticing children not under fourteen years. Arrest and Imprisonment for Debt Act, 1897���Practically abolished imprisonment for debt. Creditors Relief Act, 1902���Providos three months priority to working men for wages and salary, when .employer's property is seized for debt. Labor Regulation Act, 1898���Japanese andChineso excluded from working on railways, telegraph and tele- phono lines, and public works. Shops Regulation Act, 11100-Pro- vides for a limited number of hours for children and feinalo omployoes. Workmen's Compensation Act, 1902- Providos for injuries to workmen and compensation to workmen in case of bankruptcy to omployor. Deceived Workmen's Act, 1902-Du- ccptlvo representations to workmen declared unlawful, and damages can bo collected. Tho abovo acts aro all credited to the Conservative party, and cannot be repudiated. Workmen will vote and sustain tho party which in time past have demonstrated friendship to the wage- earner. The mining laws of.British Columbia in former times recognized tho rule of extra-lateral rights (the same as iu thc Unitod States) but in recent times the law has been changed to provide that a mining claim should embrace an area of 1,500 feet square and only gives the locator such mineral as may be within the vortical lines described by its boundaries.

FRIDAY. SEPT. 25,1903. THE PROVINCIAL CAMPAIGN A vigorous campaign is now in progress for the election of members to compose a legislative assembly for British Columbia. The campaign is being conducted on party lines for the first time in this province and a whole lot of fun is being got out of the contest. Judging trom indications, there appears to be no uncertainty about the Conservatives, who now hold the reins of government, being able to carry the province. A large number of the electors,, including many Liberals, believe that Premier McBride and his colleagues are capable and deserving of a trial in the management of the affairs of the country. The political situation being so widely different in this western province from that in the eastern provinces that many Liberals feel justified, and feel that they are not renouncing Dominion party allegiance by working and voting for Conservative candidates on October third and thus help to secure a capable government, having : workable majority, that the coun< try's welfare may be advanced. It i s recognized that should the majority be small the time ot the house might be taken up with petty issues--while the more important questions that have to do with tho country's growing needs would be neglected. ... riding wherein Mr. Retallack, in 1899, is proven to have renounced his allegience to the British crown. Mr. Retallack may have since become a British subject, but surely we can find a more stable man for a law-maker and to safeguard our in terests at Victoria than one who seems to but lightly value his allegiance. The season that is now drawing to a close has brought the Lardeau country nearer to the front as a rich mineral district than any one former season. The Poplar creek part of the' district was unknown previous to June of this year, while now that Is the richest known portion of the Lardeau. With the. development that the next twelve months are sure to produce, the Lardeau bids fair to experience a period of prosperity the like of which has never been known British Columbia. The country is ripe for a boom and it. would not prove injurious either, for we have the rich ore and plenty of it, Doited Bate of-North America It is easy to see which way the election is going in Kaslo riding, if the strong invective that is being hurled at the Hon. Minister of Mines together with the attempt at ridicule freely indulged in by his opponents are any criterion, they must be convinced of the utter hopelessness of their attempts to secure election, and that R. F. Green's election is inevitable. It is really amusing to sit back in the audience at one of the political meetings and watch the bouquets that are presented so profusely between the Liberal and Socialist candidates. -EDITORIAL NOTES. CONSERVATIVE PLATFORM. [Adopted at Revelstoke, September 18th, 1002.1 1. That this convention reaffirms the _.. ��� of the r arty In matters ol provincial roads and trails; the ownership and control of railways and the develooment of the agricultural resources of the province as laid down in the {ilatform adopted ln October, 1899, which Is as ollowsj "To actively aid ln the construction of trails throughout the undeveloped portions of the province and thc building of provincial trunk roads of public necessity. "To adopt the principles of government ownership of raUwavs in so far as the circumstances of the province will admit, and thc adoption of the principle that no bonus should bo granted to any railway company which does not give the government of the province control of rates over lines bonuBed, together with the option of purchase. "To actively assist by state aid iu the development of tbe agricultural resources of thc provinco. ���i.

That to encourage tho mining industry, thc taxation of metalliferous mines should be on a basis of a percentageon tho net profits -1. That the government ownership of tele- Shone systems should be brought auoutas a rst step In the acquisition of public utilities'. !i. That a portion of every coal area hereafter to be disposed of should be reserved from sale or lease, so that statu owned minus may be easily accessible, if their operation becomes necessary or advisable. C. That In the puln land leases provision should be made for reforesting and that steps should be taken for the general preservation of forests by guarding against the wasteful do struction of timber. 7. That the legislature and government of the province should persevere ln the efforts to secure thc exclusion of Asiatic labor. 8. That the matter of better terms in the way of subsidy and appropriations for the g*-*- That the silver-lead industries of the the business of the Lardeau is distinctly mining. With the exception of ihe -lumber industry which, under the condition! that now prevail, will take care of itself, the resources of the Lardoau and the whole Kaslo riding are more exclusively mining than perhaps any other part of B. C. That being the case, it would seem very short* the Hon. K. F. Green, who holds the portfolio of minister of mines. We do not believe for one moment that there is any probability of the minister going down to defeat, but w. would like him to feel that the great bulk of the people of the Kaslo riding stand as a solid wall of support at his back. Rain has been falling almost constantly for a week. Building opera- tions are at a standstill and mining operations have been checked. The past season has certainly uot been a pleasant one, but the Lardeau has experienced a healthy growth which was not due to the inclemency of the weather. We hope to get a good long spell of fine weather yet this fall, The Liberal meeting held last night in Eagle hall was a great success���from a Conservative point of view.
