Ottawa, April 20 ie puVk itiou of the appendices to the ��� eport ot the civil service commission is still lurnlshing the capital with the livesl topic oenver- sation. One of the most amusing features is the recoid ot the wholesale purchase of buoys. From east and west the agents uf the department began to represent that they had uol room to store the buoys as last us they came, while the department al Otuiwu kept Insisting thai there should be uumeruus spare buoys at the stations. The British Columbia agent hoped "no more buoys would be s.lipped to ihe coast until we are in a position to place iliem." Nevertheless more were seut. as, to quote the royal commission report, "the department is evidently determined to make the B. l.'. agency the dumping ground for all the buoys Wlllsou call wheedle them into buying, whether they are wanted ro not." (Page 163.J Meanwhile some buoys were going adrift some were out of order, aud some were lyiug at the depot. At one tune the Victoria agent had six of Wiilson's gas beacons and four of his buoys ou a C. P. K. wharf, wilh only one steamer to handle them, and begged that more be sent, IPuge 102.J Yet seven day j later he was instructed that nine more beacons were ubout to be forwarded. In another three nionlhs orders weie given to ship IU more at $���< 000 each. The department paid $0.55u for a buoy which was sent to Prescott and remained there, apparently, for a year. Willson then had an order from Brazil for one of that type and had none ready. The department kindly traded off this one for two $5,000 buoys, which Willson had on hand, and and then paid him the difference. Tbe commissioners say that the government got neither discount nor bonus from this deal, and adds "the eagerness of some of the officials of the department to serve the company in this matter without consideration for the government was quite remarkable." (Page 165.) Hy June 13th, 1907. the department had paid $S25,650 to Wiilson's company for 201 gaB and whistling buoys, and $27,000 additional for 18 beacons, with other payments for material and numerous orders ahead. "It would almost look," say the commissioners, "as if lhe I. M. S. Company were regarded by the department as a branch of the department of marine, aud a favored one at that." The officials have recommended Will- son's apparatus to the llritish and United States governments us highly satisfactory at Ihe same time that they were receiving protests and complaints from Offlolala all ulong the line. There Is u long uecounl of proceedings reaped lug Morln shoal. The shipping federation asked for a lightship, but an acetylene buoy- with bell and whistle attachment, was bought rrom T. L. Willson and placed on the spot. As the matter was urgent, Mi. Willson wus to have the buoy ready In thirty days. It was delivered ln four months Prom October 9th to November 10th the Willson buoy was on the shoal. The local superintendent of buoys had reported It unsuitable before it was purchased. There were many eon,plaints afterward, und ufter six weeks' use the department decided to replace it with a lightship. A similar story Is told of the hand Hug and repairs of the Antlcosti light ship, which coat 186,800 In three years, nnd was In hospital most or the time. The commissioners say that this was a conspicuous case of "how not to do It." Our old friend. Merwin, does not fig ure by name extensively In this report, but it Is shown lhat Chler Engineer Anderson has strenuously protested against throwing out efficient light house equipment and replacing ll with costly Imported apparatus recommended by the department. The engineer plainly suggests that the cry against | the Canadian lighthouses hus been rais ed by makers of lanterns "simply so that they could supply their own more expensive style of manufacture." The particular order against which he protested was for about $20,000 worth of lanterns for half a dozen lighthouses. It should be recalled that Mr. Merwln's iii in:- have been paid fully $100,000 by the marine department for buoys, lights and other equipment. E. A. Wallberg, better known In connection with the railway contracts, is represented by the commissioners as having things much his own way with the department of marine. He secured contracts without competition for several steel concrete lowers, three of them because he was the only person able to do the work thut seuson. Not one of these was finished until the following year. Mr. Walberg haa a habit Of writing personally to the officers of the department asking consideration of all the authorities until Chief Engineer Anderson again interposed with the statement that there was no patent, and lhat the Walberg method hud long prevailed In concrete buildings. But for this protest the royalty would have been added to the cost of the numerous lowers which Walberg seems likely to build. SUB-CONTHACJS ARE LEI Construction Work at Prince Rupert Ib Actually Begun���Influx of Settlers Is Rapid. Hnru:*' Kupert, April 20.���Tho fir-st subcontract fur construction work on tlie main line ol the Urariti Trunk Pacific railway In Biltiali Columbia, waa let by J. VV. Stewart, managing member in Canada ot Foley, Welch and rite wail, to Messrs. Kuua and Carlson, who have just completed contractu lu double-! racking the C. P. R. between Kenora and F6rt William. This contract is lor the lirst mile on the road trom Prince Rupert eastward, on which the work will be very heavy, principally rock work, aud they have one year to complete it. The lirst bluff, just west of Centre Btreet, contains about 75,000 cubic yards ot' rock, all of which will be taken out and used for lilliug in tide Hats and ground used lor u.-i .ninal tracks. This station is made up of a series of rock bluffs, and is considered a choice piece of work. Active operations will be begun on Monday morning, and Ross and Carlson estimate they can give steady employment to 200 men for a year. Work would have been started at once but for lhe weather, which for the past week has been the roughest and dirtiest of any during tbe winter months. itain fell in torrents, then turned to slush-snow, aud terrific winds prevailed all the time. * The 200 Swede laborers brought here tor construction work, who have been accustomed to the clear, cold atmob- phere of western Ontario, grumbled, were disincliued to tackle work in such a climate, and Uie contractors had hard work to hold them. The last two days have been perfect, and prospects for continued fine weather are good. The Camosun arrived this morning with 200 passengers and a very heavy cr.rgo, also a carload of beef catile for L. Morrow & Co., and nix heavy draught horses for Kltamaat, consigned to Hars- ton and Angus Stewart, and will be used in construction work on their subcontract. These are the first horses landed on Kaien Island, und are temporarily stabled In a large tent on the wharf. "Vickersvllle." In the east end. Is (Towing rapidly. Already some forty tent-houses have been erected, plank roadways have been laid from the landing up Main street; a general store opened by Fred Parker; and within a few days a restaurant will be doing business.

Monday, April 20, 1908. DATE OF ELECTIONS. All Canada is waiting expectantly for the announcement of the dissolution ol parliament aud Uie ilxiug of the date tui lhe general elections. There is a general recognition of tlie fact that the present parliament haa exhausted any mandate it ever received trom the electorate, and that there can he no definite measure of reconstruction in auy department ol Canadian lile until either Sir Wilirid Laurier's authority ls again renewed or a Conservative ministry ls Installed In power. In nearl] even constituency in Basts era Canada candidates lor hoth parties are already in ihe Held and the campaign is begun, which can not be lor- iiiinaled or interrupted until it ends iu the general campaign. This is not a healthy condition of affairs. The responsibility for it rests entirely with the government. A system often advocated for Canada Is that by which elections should take place at intervals fixed by law, independently of the party in power, as ls the custom in the United States. It His so far not answered badly where the executive is not really responsible to congress and acts quite independently of It. So long as Congress Is in general agreement with the policy of the president no harm results. But several times, notably during drover Cleveland's last administration, the executive became hopelessly out of touch wilh the legislative body. The Canadian system with all it.-, defects of uncertainty and of the opportunity for unfair manipulation, has still ti,H merit of providing for readjustment at any time in the lac- of an evident change of popular sentiment. All that is required to make its operation '-it tirely fro- from criticism is that the premiers, Dominion aud provincial, should exercise their rlglns with due regard for the public interest. The business community as a whole has the chief title to consideration. A unique practice has been Inaugurated by Premier Whitney ol Oman., In frankly taking not only the legislature but tne whole province Into his confidence on the question of the date of his next appeal. Ot this practice and its probable results tlie Montreal Star says: "Mr. Whitney's frank announcement to the Ontario legislature ot the Btate Of his mind, regarding the date ot the coining provincial elections, is an example which might prolltauly becomi a precedent It Is true that he has not named the date; but he has told the house that he himself does not yet know il���which Is something worth learning���and has added that it will beat on,, of two fairly definitely defined times. It Is unfortunate that his knowledge was not a little more certain on the occasion when he broke through the old custom of secrecy and liver] up to his own record for frankness; but still INOTIG12. A general meeting of the shareholders of the imperial Coal & Coke Company, Limited, will be held at tin of- flee of the Company, Room 7s, Sovereign Hank Building, Montreal Thursday, the Thirtieth day of April, 190! for the purpose of electing directors I" hold office until the next Annual Meeting, to consider the financial position of the Company, and to adopt such means as may be deemed most advisable with a view to arranging Its finances, and for such other business as may be legally brought belore the meets Ing. The chair will be taken at 11 a m. IMPERIAL COKE & COAL COMPANY, LIMITED. Per Geo. Pyke, Secretary. it ls a great step ln advance to get even this much from a premier before "dissolution" Is actually announced. "We will now see whether the constitution will suffer any very severe wrench from this revolutionary departure. If It survives this attack upon ancient custom, it tu-gnt possibly be judged strong enough to endure this sort of early announcement of intention on the part of tbe prime minister whenever the time draws near for an appeal to the people. The example might even spread as far as Ottawa: and we could then escape from the reign ot surprise dissolutions in our Federal politics as well. There was an approach to it last year when tne premier was said to have promised the K-ailt r of the opposition that there would be another session before dissolution; but it would have been much nearer to the Whitney case if the announcement bad been made openly in parliament in the bearing of th,' whole people. After all, it is ihe people who are chiefly concerned in being abundantly forewarned of the approach of au election, and not the leader or a rival "team" who is going to plai tin,- game of politics with the premier on that occasion.'

Nelson, from Pollard and Wade to H. H. Moore. Dated at Nelson, this 9th day of March 1908. POLLARD oV WADE. THE FINDLAY PLACERS. Owing to Difficulty of Procuring Supplies Close Season Declared. Letters dated March 21 have Just arrived from Ingenica this week, and report the arrival there on March 10 of the parties who discivered the creek last fall, and who left here with several other prospectors with a summer's supplies by dog tean; on January 15, About 15 miners are now on the creek and us many more are en route there from Hazelton, the majority of whom came in from the outside. At that date no work had heen done on the claims, apart from staking and leeoiding. No gold has yet been taken out since the pan of the prospect last fall by the discoverers. A general shortage of provisions and tools exists and miners have asked the gold commissioner here to warn all progpectivQ stampeders of Uie necessity of taking wilh them sufficient provisions for the round trip. A petition was sent the gold commissioner asking for a closed working season this coming summer, on account ot the shortage of necessities and the uncertainty of there being pay gravel sufficiently rich to justify the incurring of the heavy expense of putting in a working outfit under tbe present difficult transportation conditions. The gold commissioner has granted the request, and the open season has been set for June 25, 1909. The creek on which the claims are staked is in flood, making ground sluicing difficult. Some prospectors anticipate difficulty in sinking on account of the wet nature of the ground. The snow is going rapidly, making It well nigh impossible to reach Ingenika before June, when there should he sufficient feed to enable horses to make the trip. SEALERS CRUSHED BY ICE. Disastera to Vessels of Newfoundland Fishing Fleet. St. Johns, Nfld., April 20.���Bringing tidings of the sinking of the steamer tlrand hake, of the sealing fleet, and the serious injury of several others by Ice floes, the steam sealer Newfoundland ilmped inter port yesterday, leaking badly. The Nowioundlund's bowls and stern were crushed by ice, and her crew of two hundred men were forced to stand by for many hours, pumping and bailing. The Grand Lake met with disaster last Sunday. She was shut up between two great Ice floes until her Bides caved in and even her engines were crushed. She floated only three hours, but her 214 escaped to the steamer Vanguard, which was close by. A catch of 20.OU0 seals went down with the Grand Lake. The cargo was valed at $130,000, and was insured. The steamers Iceland and Ranger were also badly crushed by the ice, but were kept afloat until temporary repairs were made. The steamer Algerine ls also badly damaged. PUBLIC INQUIRIES ACT.
