One Insurance Company of Fernie Refuse* to Pay.���Rev. John Pringle Strongly Vindicated by the Presbytery. The" death occured Friday morning at her residence in Victoria of Mrs. Joan Dunsmuir, widow of the late Robert Dunsmuir and mother of Hon. James Dunsmuir, Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia. Of late the deceased lady has been in the public eye on account of her suit which she has instituted against her son for a further share of the estate left by the first owner of the Dunsmuir collieries. The statement of claim had just been filed in the case, which had not yet come to trial. have been so conspicuously fruitful in blessing that a new and remote city like Dawson compares favorably today for its observance of law and order with many of the older cities of our Dominion, and that this moral and social uplift has been achieved largely through the self-denying and persistent efforts of Rev. Dr. Pringle and other faithful ministers and missionaries of ouj church in the Yukon." Rev. R. J. Wilson was appointed moderator of the Presbytery for the remainder of the year. POLITICAL ITEMS YALE CARIBOO ELECTION REPROT- BD FOR NOVEMBER 14TH. Refuse to Pay. Most of the insurance companies which sustained losses in the recent fire at Fernie have already settled with their policy holders and the others will do so immediately. There is one company, however, the Law Union and Crown Insurance company, which declines to admit any liability, on the grounds that the loss was caused by forest fires and that their policies contain a clause exempting them under: such conditions. The company car-j ned several risks in the city, and the holders of the policies are indignant at such action and are preparing to make an organized effort to endeavor to recover their losses.���Greenwood Ledge. HuntinR Number. The eve of the big game hunting season brings the ever welcome Fall hunting number of Rod and Gun and Motor Sports in Canada, published by W. J. Taylor, Woodstock, Ont. This year the budget of stories is more varied than ever and include, not only moose and deer hunting, but also fox | bear and wolves etc. A paper by John Arthur Hope on ' 'The Red Deer or Wapiti and the Virginian or Common Red Deer of North America," will be read with interest by every sportsman whether he is a big game hunter or a nature student. Fishermen, canoeists campers, mountaineers and others will find they are not forgotten, for although hunting has the pride of place, which is quite in keeping with the period of the year. The many sportsmen who are not big game hunter, may depend upon a variety which takes note of the fact that sportsmen have many tastes and are not all absorbed in one pursuit. Those however who are not big game hunters, may enjoy the many excellent stories dealing with this fine sport which appear in this capital number. Dr. Pringle Vindicated. The work of the Rev. John Pringle on behalf moral reform in Yukon Territory was strongly vindicated by the Westminster' Presbytery at a mesting held at Eburne. The resolution was moved by Rev. Dr. Peter Wright and seconded by Rev. J. Knox Wright as follows: "Whereas Rev. Dr. John Pringle late Presbyterian missionary in the Yukon, has been fiercely assailed for his fearless exposure of social crimes in the city of Dawson, therefore "Resolved, (1) That this Presbytery does hereby place on record its entire confidence in Dr. Pringle's manly christian character, and its unqualified appreciation of his courageous.efforts to elevate social life and promete civic righteousness. (2) That this Presbytery records its gratitude to God for the heroic spirit with which He has inspired Dr. Pringle and many other missionaries of our church in their stern conflict with the forces of evil in the newer parts of our land, and for the mighty influence they have wielded in the cause of civic, social and domestic purity, thus becoming a terror to. evildoers while earning the grateful praise of all good citizens; and (3) This Presbytery rejoices in the well attested fact that the earnest struggles on behalf of social puritv and civic righteousness in that far north land Duncan Ross, Liberal Candidate Will Address a Meeting of Electors in Merritt on Thursday Evening in Merritt Hall. The deferred election in the Dominion electoral division of Yale- Cariboo is announced to take place on Saturday, November 14th.

H. and Mrs. Dimmick have started suit for $19,000 damages against the British Columbia Copper company of Greenwood. This suit is the outcome of a blasting accident which occured at the company's Mother Lode mine situate in Deadwood camp, a few weeks ago, whereby the plaintiff's little daughter was killed and Mrs. Dimmick severely injured. It is claimed that an extra heavy blast was fired and several pieces of rock crashed through the roof of the Dimmick residence. Runaway Accident. M. L. Grimmett was in what might have turned out to be a serious accident on Friday last, at Coutlee. In hitching up his horse, the bridle was put on, but in some manner the bit was not in the horses mouth. After he had got into the rig, he found the horse to be unmanageable and it culmiuated in the horse running away and throwing Mr. Grimmett out, he landed on his shoulder and sustained a dislocated shoulder and a fractured ankle. He was removed to Nicola on Saturnay arid is now on the high road to recovery. Mounted Infranty Company. It is proposed to take steps to start a Mounted Infantry Company in Nicola Valley. Gentlemen in the district intending to join are requested to send in their names to G. R. Bates of Aspen Grove who is acting as secretary pro tern. A meeting will be arranged shortly and everyone interested in the movement is requested to attend. Mining Pays. It may not be generally known, but it is a fact nevertheless, that there are many men who have been most successful in life and who have left their impress upon its people, and its institutions, as statesmen, soldiers and financiers who have been directly or indirectly connected with the mining in- dustry. While many have realized j great fortunes from their operations or from their investments in mines, seldom is it that the fascination of of mining leaves them. And why should it, when today it is acknowledged the most profitable of all industries. We speak advisadly on this question. We have no reference at all to the stock jobbing end of the business. One has but th look over the dividend tables published each week in the Mining World, to realize that the purchase of shares in well managed companies pays much greater returns than any other line.���Mining World.

C, October [8, 1908. There are thousands of voters in Canada who have never allied themselves with any political party, that is, they have never tied themselves permanently to any party, and tnere are thousands more in both parties wne prefer the interests of Canada to the interests of their party. The question for them is, how can they best make their influence felt for the public good? At present this influence is greatly minimized by the fact that they vote agaiuit each other. All efforts at uniting this large and intelligent class of electors by Third Party organizations have hitherto failed as witness the history of tne Patrons of Industry and of the numerous parties now represented in the different legislatures. The result of the independent electorate voting effectively would be to bring about in Canada the rotation of parties in office which prevails in England.' The elector who conscientously believes that his own party is keeping faith with the country, respecting its principles and fulfilling its pledges , is right to support his party. The elector who regards both parties as equally good or equally bad can do much to improve both parties by generally voting against the government of the day, if recreant to its professed principles, and so teaching the politicians of both sides that they are the servants', not the masters of the country. In England, the electorate no sooner places a party in office than they begin to defeat it at th.e bye- elections, on the principle that men in power easily loose their heads unless kept in awe of the electors, and at the general elections the government is almost invariably defeated. Obviously this rotation of parties is entirely the work of the independent electors, who hold the balance of power between the Liberals and Conservatives, and use it. It is only when the government of the day is conspicuous for its courage, straightforwardness, patriotism and pro- gressiveness that it is perpetuated in power. In any country where electors are in the habit of bringing up governments with a sharp turn there is a wideawake susceptibility and sensitiveness to public opinion which secures a robustness in politics which makes entirely for the public good. On the other hand if a party does wrong and is retnrned to power through blind partisanship the men who rule the party become emboldened to dare more, and the country is plunged into extravagance, because the schemer's having just come through an election, realize how easy it is to hoodwink the electors. It is up to the independent voter to take control and make that change, if he does it will be a warning to both parties and will do Canada immeasurable and enduring good. The Dominion Government has passed an order-in-couucil raising to $50 the money qualifications required by all emigrants entering Canada from January 1st to February 15th. At present each immigrant must have $25 in his possession on landing. The Immigration office is doubling the amount for the winter months to check arrivals when work is not plentiful. The election in Kootenay has been deferred and will take place on Tuesday, November, 8, instead of on October 26. John Keen returning officer for the constituency announced nis decision in the matter at a conference in Nelson, at which Smith Curtis as well as two representatives each from the Liberal and Conservative executives were present. The date was fixed before the Conservatives arrived. UNDERTAKING Caskets and Coffins of all Sizes on Hand. N. J. Earwick, .*r,tt-jrair'.,mT^v-...-^ Nicola, B. C. W. H. GRAY (R. M.
