Vurgavich is Committed by Magistrate Carss on Serious Charge—Evidence Taken Showed That He Fired Revolver at Kelly's Cut. In the police court this morning a start was made with the preliminary hearing of the men accused of making trouble at the cut of Kelly & Mclnnls last Thursday. The men accused of committing a breach of law are being defended by W. E. Williams, of Williams & Manson. S. S. Taylor, K. C, of Vancouver, has been retained to defend the accused at the trial. Mr. Taylor is expected here tomorrow morning and will take charge of the case. In securing Mr. Taylor, the accused have secured a lawyer who has a wide reputation in labor cases. He has resided in British Columbia for some time after practicing in Edmonton. In Nelson he represented the miners' union in several important cases which were carried to the supreme court. The first case called this morning was that of Jura Vugovich, who is charged with having attempted to commit murder by shooting at Special Constable Miller with intent to kill. Some little time was lost this morning owing to the -act that Mr. Bratt, the stenographer, had not been sworn, so that two of the witnesses had to be recalled. SEWERAGE SYSTEN Report From Engineer Upon the Probable Cost of Hays Creek Section. Proposition for the City Is Assuming Shape in Hands of ■ City Hall Staff The city engineer last evening brought in a report before the city council with respect to..the sewerage system for the city, or at least, a part of It. This report put the cost of sewering Hays Creek Section at $10(1,632.59, witli 15 per cent added to cover contingencies. The report stated that the town- site could be divided into about a dozen natural drainage areas. The sewerage might be arranged to pass out with the ebb tide, so that it would be carried out of the harbor with the tide. This would not be necessary for some time to come. He advocated a separate system for the city for sewerage and for surface water. The Hays Creek sewer was intended for an area of 1,050 acres. A flushing arrangement would be made from Hays Creek. The cost for the whole work was put at. $104, 632.59 with 15 per cent added for contingencies. Aid. Smith moved (hat this be referred to tlie streets committee for report. Aid. Morrissey thought it might be better to have the Whole council go Into it witli the city engineer, as was done with the water reporl. Aid. Smith agreed to alter his motion to cover this. The motion then carried. STREET NUMBERING Tlie Block System Will Probnbly Be Adopted in the City It is quite probable that the block system of numbering in the city will be adopted as a result of representations made at the council meeting last night. Aid. Clayton was added to the special committee naving the numbering in hand. Tenders were received last evening for the supplying of numbers as follows: H. E. Gamp, $175 for the wnole city; Munro & Robinson, 35 cents a figure; W. A. Miner, 40 cents; L. Bullock-Webster, 14% cents; Malrs, 30 cents, and N. McLeod, 29 cents. These tenders were referred to the committee. E. Miller, special constable, under examination by W. E. Fisher, identified the man charged with the crime. He testified that he had been on duty all day at Kelly's cut. accused standing behind a stump fired at witness. Witness seized him. Mr. Watson then knocked the accused down. Constable Mansell came up and he saw the latter take the gun accused. He described the events of the day, when about 400 men rushed down on the cut. Under cross examination, witness said the stump was a large onel. When he saw the gun fired he jumjied ana grabbed the man. Within a very few seconds Mr. Watson struck the accused down. Constable Mansell came and took the gun away. There was a wire across the street. Inside the wire he was seized by a man with a yellow sweater. Welhan Watson identified the accused. He was the man who pointed and fired a gun at Constable Miller. Witness was afraid the man going to fire a second time and he (witness) then struck accused with a stick. Cross examined, he said when witness hit the man he (witness) was strtick with rocks. He saw the man with the gun in his hand at his side. He raised it and shot. After the "battle" cooled down witness said he took a good look at accused who was lying on the ground. He examined liim because he did not know whether he was dead. Officer ..lansell testified that he had not seen the shooting. He came up and found the man lying on the ground. He saw the end of a guii sticking out and he took it away. Cross examined, witness said the gun was in the right hand hip pocket. D. D. Mclnnis described what took ulace at the cut. The gun produced was Identified by him as having been taken from accused by Constable Mansell. lie emptied the chambers finding four shells in it and one empty chamber. Witness saw the man with the gun before that. Cross examined, witness said that he returned a shell and fired at the ground in order to make a noise. In the early stages he had heard the shot fired. Pie looked and saw the accused. He was knocked down before witness could get to him. Witness in reply to a question as to Whether he was a British subject said he ought \o be, he was born in Nova Scotia. He had never seen tlie accused until today since the fight. Dominiok Coccolo was a special on the day of the trouble. Cross examined, witness said he came here from Spokane about two years ago. He was not a British subject. He saw the man struck down, but could not identify the man who struck him. Tills concluded tlie evidence for the crown. .Mr. Williams said lie had no evidence to offer in de- Eense. The accused said lie had nothing to say at this time. The magistrate thereupon committed Ihe accused for trial. The nexl case to be proceeded with was that against -Milo Vttka- vic-h. charged witli attempting to commit murder by shooting al Constable Phlllipson. The charge being interpreted to him, tlie accused denied that he tried to shoot anyone or to make trouble. The case is proceeding this afternoon. A number of the men are to be charged under section 502 of the Criminal Code. This section reads as follows: "502.

Council Reach Conclusion That Present System is Too Expensive. Information As to the Cost of the Sewer Walls Is Given to the Aldermen Aid. Kerr has for some time been anxious to find out tbe cost of the sewer work on Fraser and Eighth of knowing how much the retaining walls were costing. At the meeting last evening Aid. Kerr pttt his questions in definite shape. He asked how much a yard it was costing to build the retaining walls; how much it was costing to build the sewer on Fraser and Eighth streets; how much it cost to have the culvert repaired that caved in on First avenue. Aid. Hilditch said he had the information from the city engineer in his hand then. The retaining wall on First avenue had cost $3.96 a yard. The rock, the engineer explained in this case, had to be carried a long way. The wall on McBride and Third street cost $2.08. The wall on Fraser and Fifth streets cost $1.75, while that on First avenue between Seventh and Eighth streets cost $2.67. In reply to the question as to the sewer work on Fraser street and Eighth street, the figures were also in hand from the engineer. It was shown by these that 657.34 cubic yards of earth work cost $2,069. The rock cost $11.39, which included powder, fuse, etc. Backfilling had cost $1.50 and 72% cents. The sewer stood at $10,092, or about $12 or $13 a foot, according to Aid. Hilditch. As to the cost of the culvert, Aid. Hilditch said it cost only about $40. Aid. Morrissey objected to the report from the engineer's depart ment. The reports were misleading. This did not include the excavations Aid. Kerr said that he brought this up because there was an open end aud gravel was being washed through and rendering It liable to being stopped up. Aid. Hilditch said' the end he felt would be that the city vouid have to go in and finish it. If the council wished to move In that direction now It could do so. Later in the evening Aid. Kerr moved, seconded by Aid. Hilditch that the city take over the construction of the sewer on Fraser street and Eighth street. In support of the motion, Aid. Hilditch said the cost as shown by the return of the'engineer was about $13 a lineal foot. The original estimate was for $4 a foot. it was afterwards thought that the cost might be $S a foot but it. was never thought it would reach the sum now shown. Aid. Morrissey wanted to know under what arrangement Mr. Me- .Mordie was doing the work. The city might get into difficulty by taking I li is over. Aid, Kerr said, as lie understood force account work it. could be taken over at any time. Aid. Hilditch said after consulting the engineer that there was no contract. II was simply on force account, the contractor getting 10 per cent on the cost of the work. The mollon carried. SEEDING COMMENCES By End of Week Operations Will be General in the Prairie Provinces.

In reply to the letter of Williams & Manson, acting for Watson & Co., as to furnishing police protection, the committee reported that it was not aware that police protection had been refused at any time. It was recommended that the contractors be informed that they proceed at once with the work. This recommendation carried and the contractors will be informed of the motion, In reply to a request of Watson & Co. as to subletting contracts the committee recommended that the request should not be complied with as the city had found a lot of trouble as a result of subletting. It was recommended that if the firm did not find it possible to proceed it might abandon the work. This also carried. A request for extension of time mt>de by aWtson & Co. and McMor- dle & Co., was recommended to be refused and the contractors to be called upon to forthwith complete the work. This was agreed to.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Tuesday, April 11, 1911. SIR HIBBERT TUPPE ON RECIPROCITY PACT Well Known Politician Gives His Views as They Affect the Situation From the Canadian Point of View He is Strongly Opposed to the Proposition. A ringing speech made by Sir Charles llibbert Tupper at North Vancouver cm tlie peril of reciprocity is reported by the News-Advertiser as follows: "If the- lure of gold does its dastardly work. Canadians will prove unworthy of their history and of the glorious heritage which as members of the British Empire they share—an empire that is not only mighty power, but renowned for honor, justice and all that is best In human affairs. I have an abiding faith in Hie goodness of heart of my countrymen. I believe that we are ready to sink and swim under the old flag that has sheltered us in the past and under the King of the greatest empire the world has ever known." These ringing words were uttered by Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper K. C, M. G., at Larson's Pavilion North Vancouver, last night, in the course of a clarion appeal to Canadians to be true to their destiny and discard tlie reciprocity treaty, which he described as a plot to entice this country into the clutches of the United States. The address was delivered under the auspices of the Nortli Vancouver Conservative Asso- eiation. The speech, which was lofty In tone throughout, rising to a rousing note of passionate patriotism at the climax and close, was punctuated frequently wit happlause and the whole gathering rose at its termination to mark their agreement with the sentiments of the orator. Sir Charles demonstrated how the statesmen of the United States had for tbe last hundred years endeavored by one means and another to drive Canada into the Union. They had never made any secret of their purposes, and the speakers on the opposite sides of the Senate and the Congress had but differed as to the means to be adopted to achieve their common aims. The object of the present treaty had been made plain by the speeches of President Taft, Secretary Knox and Senator Beveridge and other prominent men. A striking fact, Sir Charles thought, was to be detected in the fact that in Canada all annexationists were in favor of it, and all imperialists were unalterably opposed to it. "Their country lay at the parting of tlie ways," the words of President Taft. Mayor McNeish proposed a vote of thanks to the speaker which was seconded by ex-Mayor May, the latter said he thought there was no question that a matter of such supreme national importance should be submitted to the vote of the people. Sir Charles said he did not approach the problem from a trade point of view, and so did not require to enter inlo the intricate questions of lumber, fruit and other business considerations. This might seem strange in an atmosphere where most people were there to got rich quick. He had an abiding faith that there was a spirit In the hearts of the people that was not swayed by mere huckstering. If they lacked this feeling the British Hag would not have been now flying over Vancouver. Tln> Cardinal Point The one cardinal point was not whal was good for a year or two, but. what was best for British consolidation on the American continent. The national policy was adopted in 1879. IA voice: "Were you here at thai time'.'") Sir Charles: "No, not in Vancouver, but through tlie policy that then prevailed I am able to be hero today." (Prolonged cheers.) He recalled the fight that Sir John Macdonald had made against tho idea that Canada's destiny was wrapt up with tlie United States, and pointed out that great changes had taken place In both Canada and the great. republic since the time when it was generally admitted that if the United States had placed raw materials on the free list Canada should meet her half way. It was significant that all annexationists are In favor of the recopro- clly treaty, though he did not accuse the Liberal party of any predilec tions of this kind. It was also interesting to observe that all Imperialists were opposed to it. The important point wns to discover what the object of ihe arrangement from the United States point of view. He would call as witnesses some or the leading men in that country. A little later on he would draw attention to what had been the object of the Americans for years When they had been in perilous positions and also now in tbe hour of their unprecedented prosperity. Canadian sin-cess had been achieved in spite of the rivalry of the greatest, agricultural country of the world. They had tried to cripple Canada in the past, and had introduced the old fisheries question, which because of the protection of the Britisii flag had treaty which had never been answered. But what of the matter of nation building? That was what they had been at. They bad been forced Into It by the United States but had succeeded wondrously. However proud they might be, however proud of their stock, could they hope to lead eighty millions with eight millions? They would become a part of the band wagon of the various States. Great Britain had become great not because of geography, Great Britain aud the Empire were marvels they were because of the splendid statesmanship, the downright commonsense of the Britisii character (cheers.) The far- flung provinces with jarring Interests had been cemented together in spit? of the temptation to share in the marvelous prosperity to the south. Britain had steadily stood by the liiHe Northwest provinces in spite of the fact that by doing -so she risked an expensive and awful war. They were told that the former time of reciprocity was a period of great prosperity. But the American ieajed the most advantage, and the conditions were peculiar and could not be repeated. Nova Scotia at that time built wooden ships for all the world, and there was no part of the United States to compete with them. What was the cause of the abro- SIR CHARLES H IBBERT TUPPER been amicably settled at The Hague. At this stage an interrupter, who bad continnually offended, was ejected. He had no doubt that Presideut Taft was a man of the highest character and true as steel to the interests of the great nation of which he was the head. A very pregnant phrase, after years of effort, tlie passing of solemn legislation to consolidate the interests of the American people Mr. Taft said lie wished to conserve the forests now by securing the unused wood of the Dominion. The Inhabitants Of the scattered collection of provinces (o Hie north of the line had been drawers of water and hewers of wood for their neighbors to the south, but the time had come lo Inform the eighty millions of the south of a change. What Americans Thought Sumner, a great American, had foreseen the greatness of Canada would achieve if it was true to its national Interests. Secretary Knox had made no secret of the tact that their aim was to "grind the crops of Canada for the benefit of the United States." President Taft. had said recently that the plan was to give the Americans the control of the wheat trade. Senator Beveridge had declared that the idea was to transport the crops via American ports. Mr. J. J. Hill, the railway magnate, had observed that the plan would prevent any inter-imperial scheme which would be so injurious to mAerican interests. In a Times business article It was pointed out that the Americans required Canadian wheat to make the flour suitable for the British market. The "Northwest Miller" declared that banks and all business auxiliary to the flour trade would benefit. He recommended the reading of Mr. Burrell's speech on the fruit trade as affected by the reciprocity gation of that reaty? No man had a more friendly feeling for the United States, but no one was more suspicious of the intentions of their politicians regarding Canada (cheers). There had never been a European war when the United States had not tried to take advantage of Canada. To Punish Canada The abrogation of the treaty had been accomplished to punish Canada for sympathizing with the South. The intention had been to bring the Dominion to its knees. Mr, Brown, a Liberal, in 1854, had stated that Canada had a policy of lis own little inferior lo reciprocity. But no statesmen at that time had realized ill their wildest dreams the magnificent success of the Canada of today. But the speaker pointed out, even In those dark limes, Canada bad no alternative policy. Britisii markets and tlie diversion of trade east and west instead of north and south was the alternative, and in thai direction had lain their success. Mr. Charlton, an able liberal, speaking of the rejection of tlie Brown-Fish treaty, had declared that it changed the history of the North American Continent, and made the votary of Imperialism thank God for It. Had the reciprocity treaty gone through, Canada would be now practically a part of the United States. That was the idea of a Liberal statesman. During the regime of President Cleveland a settlement of the fisheries treaty had been thrown out. The congressional records bristled with speeches that explained why. Senator Morgan had said: "Canada is at our mercy six months in the year; If we pass a non-lntercourso treaty she will be under the control of Congress." An opponent had said (Senator Nelson): "You will do what the Imperialism of Sir John Macdonald sighs for." Another American speak er had said that Canada's weakness lay in tlie lack of communication be tween the East and West. This proved that all the American statesmen, both Democrats and Republicans, at that cime had the driving of Canada into tho Union at heart. Rival Trade Routes The reciprocity question, claimed the speaker, was closely wrapt up with the rival trade routes via St. Lawrence and the barge route of Buffalo. The Conservative party had never been beaten on the national policy. Race and religion had torn down the ranks. The national policy had stood the test of the financial panics better than any other nation in tlie world. Americans came to put their money in Canadian banks. Even in 1900, Sir Wilfrid Laurier had failed to givo them the promised free trade, and they had gone on their way rejoicing—Canada could not wait. They had sunk millions In canals, nnd got a government owned by a railway instead of the other more conventional arrange ment. (Laughter.) But the Dominion had prospered and all this time their food in the States was costing them more. Sir Wilfrid Laurier had said in London in 1907 that his government had done all that was possible to push Canadian trade in the direction of Great Britain. Mr. Asquith had replied he appreciated this, but thought the conditions were such that the United States would have the best of it. Sir Wilfrid had replied that Canada had sought to drive the trade east and west because the immense advantage of maintaining trade in the Britisii Empire was realized. Sir Charles considered this a drastic indictment of the present proposal. They had spent one hundred million on the Grand Trunk Pacific with this view, and now wanted to cut it In the middle, a process generally attended with unfortunate results for the ends. The exodus was now for the first time from the south to Canada, a stupendous influx of both men and capital was coming this way. They had never approached Great Britain from the mendicant point of view, the favors were rather on the other side. They had been able by virtue of their marvelous prosperity to take a proper and dignified attitude with the motherland. Under the Stars and Stripes Throughout the length and breadth of the United States they wanted to have the whole unbounded continent under the Stars and Stripes. If these machinations were allowed to succeed, Canada's lavish expenditure on railways would have been wasted. The people will revert to their old position of hewers of wood and drawers of water for their neighbors. If the lure of gold did its dastardly work they would be unworthy of the Empire of which they were a part, which was not only great in power, but stood Tor honor, justice and truth. If this intldious pact were consumated he would have one thing only to be thankful for, it would drive a nail in that which was a curse to this country—machine made politics. The task of consolidation had been enormous, and with out ill will to the United States, Canada's course is fixed in the empire. "We are ready to sink and swim under the old flag and under the King of the greatest Empire the the world has ever known." In response to a vote of thanks, Sir Charles said that what had made (he Invitation to speak irresistible was the fact that he had been left unfettered. It showed that It was recognized that a man might differ with his parly on some points and yet lie a good conservative.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL •!>***'t I Portland Cement? * * ******************<&******* Cement was used long before the dawn of authentic history, but Portland cement is a distinctively modern invention, says tbe Cement World. The ancient cements were invariably of the class we call "natural"—that is, made from natural raw material taken from mother earth, without alteration or admixture. Portland cement, on the other hand, is always tlie result of a carefully determined and scientifically proportioned artificial mixture. The cement used by Iho ancient Romans, for example, was made by grinding volcanic- lava. This was first obtained for the purpose from the slopes of Vesuvius, near Poz- zuoll, thus giving origin to Ihe name "Possuolana" or "Puzzolan" cement, of which small quantities are made to tills day. In making their mortar and concrete, the Romans mixed the ground lava with a certain proportion of slaked lime, and for their aggregate used sand and gravel or broken stone, just as we do today. They mixed their concrete in batches and, as shown by the impressions plainly discernible in the remains still standing in the Roman forum and other parts of the Imperial City, they erected wooden forms similar to those in use now, into which the concrete was poured and allowed to set. During the Middle Ages, hydraulic cements fell into comparative disuse, and it was not until the eighteenth century that a demand for them was revived. But up to the time of the invention of Portland cement, early In the' nineteenth century, the demand was met chiefly by importations of Puzzolan cement and Dutch cement, or trass, from the continent, both of which were made by the simple grinding of a natural rock of volcanic origin. Portland cement was invented by Joseph Aspdin, a bricklayer and builder living In Leeds, the principal manufacturing town of Yorkshire. In his first experiments he used for raw material the mud scraped from the roads near his place. As.the roads were clayey and had been macadamized, the mud was really an artificial mixture of limey and clayey materials—the essential basis of the modern process of manufacture. Mr. Aspdin, wc are told, first produced his cement in 1811, but it was nol until 1S24 that he patented his invention. On October 21, 1824, under royal seal of King George the Fourth, letters patent were Issued to Joseph Aspdin for his invention of "an improvement In the modes of producing an artificial stone." Mr. Aspdin gave tlie name "Portland" to his cement, because of the resemblance in appearance between the artificial stone made from it and the natural stone found in, the famous Portland quarries on the southern coast of England. These well-known quarries, of which there are over fifty in number, are situated in Dorsetshire, on the Isle of Portland, a peninsula, jutting out into the English Channel. The Portland stone is a white or creamy, hard, closely compacted limestone of the oolitic variety, the best quality being found in the top bed and in the northeastern part of the peninsula, the poorest in tlie southwestern part. For centuries this stone has been a favorite building stone in England for cathedrals, churches and public buildings. Among the prominent structures built of it might be mentioned St. Paul's Cathedral, finished about 1700; Goldsmith's Hall; the west towers of Westminster Abbey, and the Eddystone Lighthouse, built by the English engineer, John Smeaton, in 1759. SKY SOLDIERS Special Force of Flying Men for the British Army "With a view to meeting army requirements consequent on recent developments in aerial science, it lias been decided to organize an Air Battalion, to which will be entrusted the duty of creating a body of expert airmen." Tbe special British Army Order containing tills notification mentions also that, the flying battalion is lo be organized in such a way as to facilitate tbe formation of units ready to take the field with troops, and capable of expansion by any reserve formation which may be formed In the future. In addition, the training and instruction of men in handling kites, balloons, aeroplanes, and other forms of air craft will devolve upon this battalion. The establishment is to have a strength of 190 of all ranks. The officers are to be selected from any regular arm or branch of the service on the active list, but they must be recommended by the commanding officer and be certified as medically fit for the work. Other qualifications which will be taken into consideration in tbe selection of the officers Include possession of an aviator's certificate, previous experience of aeronautics, rank not above that of captain, good eyesight, good map-reader and field sketcber, unmarried, nol, less than two years' service, under thirty years of age, good sailor, knowledge of foreign languages, taste of mechanics, and light weight (under list. 7 lb.). On joining the Air Battalion each candidate will go through, a six months' probationary course (including two months' kiting and ballooning), and If during this period he shows no aptitude for the work, lie will rejoin the unit. The warrant officers and men are to be se- lected from the corps of Royal Engineers. The new organization will supersede the existing balloon school on April 1. o Senator Lafollcttc was talking about two corporations that had been attacking one another in tin- press. "They both scored," he said. "They made me think of two prisoners in Atlanta, one of whom had been convicted of stealing a watch, the other of stealing a cow. These two prisoners hated each other and as they passed one morning in the exercise yard the cow stealer said with a sn'eer: 'What time is it?' 'Milking time,' the watch stealer answered." Every employee of the Bank of England is required to sign his name in a book on bis arrival in the morning, and if late to give the reason therefor. Tlie chief cause of tardiness is fog, and the first person to sign usually writes "fog," and those following write "ditto." Tlie other morning, however, the first man to arrive wrote as his excuse "wife had twins," and at least twenty others mechanically signed ditto underneath.

EDITORIAL FAVOR ORDER It is gratifying to know the representatives of the various unions In the city have shown a strong disposition to dejirecate the action taken last Thursday, when a breach of the peace was committed on the streets. This is but what was to have been expected. It is not the policy of unions nowadays to resort to force. Indiscreet actions such as those taken only tend to hurt the cause of unionism and are not countenanced by the right-tliiking section of labor TAXATION COMMISSION The apointment by the Provincial Government of a commission to consider the question of the incidence of taxation is one which has long been in the mind of the government to have brought into effect. The government of Premier McBride had to face a peculiar condition when it assumed power. It had to raise taxation to meet the needs of the province then practically on the verge of bankruptcy with the banks closed to it. The people of the province accepted the situation and with confidence in the men at the head of affairs, consented to bear heavy burdens. Premier McBride has not been for-, getful of the way in which the citizens stood by him at the time and j bore the increased taxes in order to put the province in a proper light in the financial world. British Columbia has gained an enviable position. The taxes have, from time to time, been reduced, but now it is proposed to go straight to the underlying principles and devise the most up-to- date method of arriving at a proper basis of taxation. The commission, which any one who knows the personnel of it will readily agree, is a good one and should bring ripe judgment to bear on what is indeed a vexed question. * * News of the Province % :* V V * * * * * V *•* V V V V V V V V V * * V * ALTOS IX CARIBOO ASHCROFT—The Cariboo road is gradually breaking up and transportation north from Ashcroft to Quesnel and Fort George is now being done, by wagon and automobile. Some forty freighting outfits, which are struggling northward are meeting with stretches ol' very muddy roads. Automobiles are carrying pas- seners to the Fifty-nine Mile House, twelve miles beyond Clinton. The snow is practically oft' the ground at Quesnel, and tne ice in the Fraser river began to run out last Saturday. Passengers and some freight are being transported over the river at this point by means of cable and cage. The road from Quesnel to Fort George via Black- water, being new and soft, is' still almost impassable'. The mail, however, is going Into Fort George over thai road once a week. Though the time Is not auspicious to go into the northern Interior, many an- leaving Ashcroft on foot, as well as by Stage and wagon. Two transportation companies already have thirteen automobiles in commission, and the steamer Cliilcotln is being got ready for slimmer traffic. Captain Ritchie is at work on tlie wrecked Cbilc-o, endeavoring to get il tree from ice and in condition to bring down to Quesnel to undergo repairs. A new company has been formed to run the little steamer Quesnel, and this company, it is rumored, will also take over the historic steamer Charlotte, now on the ways at Quesnel. A new hull will be necessary before the favorite craft of the Upper Fraser can again breast the current. Extra supplies are being sent north each week from Ashcroft to accommodate the Incoming settlers who are filling up tlie two hotels. If It is found necessary, an emergency tent hotel will be erected here to accommodate the people. If the reports are only half true, as to the number of settlers coming, this will he absolutely necessary. Howard Du Bois, L. A. Bonner, I. I. Felker and other managers of large placer hydraulic works in Cariboo have left for the north to get their works in readiness for the spring opening. They all anticipate an excellent year for mining, as the unusually heavy snowfall will insure plenty of water for the hydraulic works. Some twenty outfits will make a "clean-up" this year, which is expected to be one of the largest in the history of the historic gold mining country around Barkerville and Stanley. COAL RECORD NANAIMO—"Coal is King" is no literary phrase so far as Nanaimo is concerned, for day by day the importance of the coal mining industry of this city is being made more apparent, says the Nanalmo Herald. In the Issue of March 23, the Herald published a four-column article dealing with the outlook for the local mines in which it was stated the output of coal for the month of March was expected to reach the total of 54,000 tons. Many expressed the opinion that the figures were exaggerated, but as an actual fact they were too conservative, for the output of the Nanaimo mines of the Western Fuel Company for the month of March, ending Friday, totalled 55,000 tons, the largest in the history of the coal mining industry in this district. Of this large total No. 1 mine alone contributed 38,000 tons, which also was a record for this mine, and considering this output was made during only one hoisting shift dally, whereas, for years the mine has hoisted two shifts daily, the record is all the.more remarkable. When the wheels of No. 1 ceased whirling Friday the mine had been working continuously (Sundays excepted) sixty-one days, and during this time not a single break of any seriousness had occurred, showing the remarkable condition of the mine machinery and capable management on the part of the officials. Fifty- five thousand tons of coal In one month is a condition of affairs of which any mining centre in the world might boast of without at all considering it flattery, and when it is remembered this high water mark of production is not only to be maintained but increased, the outlook for Nanaimo and district is exceedingly bright, for as Manager Stockett informed the Herald only a week ago, his company was opening two new mines at an initial outlay of $800,- 000, which, when fully developed would add fully 1,200 workmen additional to Nanaimo's already large number of wealth producers, and increase the population of Nanaimo and suburbs probably as much as 5,000. o SCOUT LAW Allele ess ou Ideals of True Manhood Given to Large Gathering of Boy Scouts / "Work hard and play fair" was one of tlie maxims in an address to a large gathering of boy scouts at the Congregational school in Victoria. The speaker was Mr. H. Sheridan- Bickers. In the course of his address on tlie meaning and lessons of the scout law, which every scout on joining promises to obey, the speaker reminded his hearers that the first object of scouting was to live up to the scout's motto, "be prepared," so that whenever in life they were up against difficulty or danger when a crisis threatened their country or their home, they would he ready lo meet it bravely and fearlessly. "To the man who Is always ready," said the speaker, "Hie crisis never comes," On becoming a scout every boy promised on his lienor: 1. 'In do liis duty to God and the King. 2. To help others at all times. 3. To obey tbe scout law. They could best do their duty to God by performing faithfully their duties to themselves and their neighbors. Just as God had created each oneas an individual man and as a member of a great community, so their primary duties in life were to make the best of themselves ana do the best for their fellows. Let the ideal of an all-round self-development and whole-hearted mutual aid be the Ideal of their lives. Let tnem do everything as well as they could do it. Let them realize that it took a "big" man to do lit 'e things well. Under the scout law, there were nine moral duties to be faithfully performed throughout their lives. These were, that in all things, (1) a scout's honor is to he trusted; (2) he must be loyal; (3) be must strive to be useful and to help others; I 4) Free Employment Office For all kinds of help. Cooks, waiters, dishwashers, hotel porters, all kinds of laborers or mechanics, call up 178 or call at the FREE EMPLOYMENT OFFICE Headquarters for Cooks and Waiters Hamblin's Bakery Just Re-opened Sale counter in MERRYFIELD'S STORE, Third Ave. and Fifth St. Family trade catered to. Will supply restaurants and steamers. Cakes and Confectionei-y of all kinds to be a brother to every other scout; 15) to be courteous and chivalrous; (6) to be a friend to animals; (7) to obey and learn to discipline himself; (S) to "keep on smiling," and ()9 to be thrifty. The speaker In turin dealt with these nine points, defining them as the nine essentials of true manliness; honesty, loyalty, usefulness, comradeship, chivalry, humanity, self-control, courage and thrifty. To every man, his honor must always come first, for that to a man is dearer than life. As Shakespeare wrote: "My honor is my life: both grow in me, Take honor from me, and my life is done." Let them believe in themselves and in each other, and their belief would be justified. Next to the ideal of honor—of being true, honest and self-controlled in all things—let them live up to the law of courage. Fear was more painful to cowardice than was death to true courage. Let them cultivate cheerfulness, that they might face trouble wtih a smile, and learn to whistle when depression or despair threatened. Let each scout make up his mind never to be beaten; to get up if knocked down in life's battles, and to earn the proud title of the "unconquerable Canadian." The third of the scout's most precious possesions was the quality of usefulness. To be able lo help others, a man must first be able to help himself. To develop themselves and to be useful to others—in that quality of sovereignty and service by the highest happiness in human existence. There was no happiness pure and more lasting than the joy of self-reliance and the knowledge of conscious usefulness. For those who brought sunshine to the lives of others could not keep happiness from themselves. The speaker wound up with a glowing tribute to the-'value of the boy scout movement in tlie making of a virile and healthy manhood, and in securing the future supremacy and safety of the worldwide empire to which they were all so proud to belong and eager to serve; that by organized activity and loyal cooperation they might bring each and all of their lives to an honorable victory and a lasting peace. o PROPOSED CRICKET CHANGES Those interested in cricket will be interested to hear that at the conclusion of the ordinary business of the annual general meeting of the Mary- lebone Cricket Club on May 3, the meeting will be made special in accordance with rules 19 and 25 for the following, amongst other put- poses: To vote on the following proposed alterations to laws 13, 16 and 17, dealing with "no-balls." Law 13 now reads as follows- — "The ball shall be bowled In overs of six balls, from each wicket alternately. When six balls have been bowled and the ball Is finally ret- tli'd iii the bowler's or wlcketkeep- er's bands, the umpire shall e-all 'Over.' Neither a 'no-ball' nor a wide ball' shall be reckoned as one of the over." Tlie proposal Is to add at the end, "but they shall be scored against tlie bowler." Law 16 now reads as follows: "The striker may hit a 'no-ball,' and whatever runs result shall be added to his score; but he shall not be out from a 'no-ball' unless he be run out or break laws 26, 27, 29, 30. All runs from a 'no-ball' otherwise than from the bat shall be scored 'no- balls,' and if no runs be made one run shall be added to that score. From a 'wide bail' as many runs as are run shall be added to the score as 'wide balls,' and if no runs be otherwise obtained no one run shall be so added. The proposal is to omit from "the striker" to "add to that score," and to substitute: "A 'no-ball' becomes dead Immediately on its being called. Two runs shall be added to the score under the heading 'no-balls.' " The British Columbia Company LIMITED. AUTHORIZED CAPITAL $100,000.:: PAID UP CAPITAL $41,500 DIRECTORS:—Reginald C.

PRINCE GEORGE COMING The Grand Trunk Pacific steamer Prince Rupert has laid off for one trip. Her place has been taken by the Prince George. PREPARING FOR SIRING It is now certain that fully eight hundred tons of freight will be here within the next very few weeks for transportation to the foot of the lake before the ice breaks up, says the Whitehorse Star of a recent date, referring to the preparations for spring. Captain Syd Barrington who already had 300 tons, received a wire Tuesday evening from San Francisco asking him to handle another hundred tons and telegraphed his acceptance of it. Captain Sproule, owner of the steamer White Seal, arrived Tuesday with a party of barge builders, nine head of horses and 90 tons of freight. He will use his horses in freighting to the foot of the lake for which place his ship carpenters left yesterday. The crew of the White Seal will arrive in a few days. Captain Wallace Langley, who owns the steamer Tana, now at the foot of the lake, has not yet arrived but will be along in a few days with a crowd of barge builders and about 150 tons of freight. The Merchants-Yukon Transportation Company, whose steamer Evelyn is also now at the foot of the lake, has a crew of sixteen men building barges, and Captain Raymond, of the Pauline, has a crew busy getting ready for the opening of navigation Captain Barrington and John Ray mond returned from the foot of the lake Tuesday evening and report that place as being very busy. In another week 100 men will be engaged in building barges there. ferent trades on the Atlantic coast. Most of them are experienced halibut fishermen who have worked for years on the Great Banks. They declare that they are looking forward eagerly to an opportunity to get in the same field on the Pacific coast. In most cases their families have been fishermen for several generations back. The codfishing schooners Jos. Russ and Alice are now outfitting at Anacortes and will probably sail north within a few weeks. The vessels fish outside Unimak Pass when they first go north, but enter the Bering Sea later In the season. The codflshers are the first vessels to enter Bering Sea, .passing through Unimak Pass long before Bering Sea is considered navigable. The schooner Vega, one of the codfishing fleet, is now being cleaned, repainted and recaulked. Together with the Maid of Orleans she will sail north in April after she has outfitted at Seattle. It is thought that on account, of the recent loss of the Czarina, of the codfishing fleet, that the schooner Harold Blekum, which has been lying idle for some time, will be used this season, but no definite announcement has yet been made. The schooner Fanny Dutard is now on her way from Anacortes to Seattle and after reaching here she will be overhauled and fitted out before sailing nortli next month., SHIPBUILDING FIRM Denny Brothers, the famous Dum- barten shipbuilders, are joining the Messrs. Bullen in the construction of a drydock and shipbuilding plant at Esquimau. That they were doing so has been known for some timei The Glasgow Weekly Mail of March 18, just to hand, contains the announcement from the Scotch end. The allied interests expects to employ between 4,000 and 5,000 men at the great works which will be erected, where part of the Canadian navy will be built. o TO STAND TRIAL FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER GLOUCESTER FISHERMEN Twenty-four tan-faced, big-boned American fishermen brought to the Pacific coast 'all the way from Gloucester,' Mass., to man the Puget. Sound codfishing fleet, have arrived at Anacortes. It is said that this detachment Is the first of more than two hundred who are to come to the Sound during the coming season. The twenty-four who have arrived will go north on the codfishing schooners Jos. Russ and Alice, which are now outfitting at Anacortes. Men engaged in the codfishing industry declare that in the past It has been impossible to secure full crews of fishermen to take nortli and that in many cases they have been forced to fill In with inexperienced men.' Often the vessels have been delayed In getting away in the spring because of the inability to secure a full crew. The men brought here from the east are general all-round fishermen, having been engaged in the dif- (Continued From Page One.) ance of any such combination or conspiracy uses any violence or threat of violence to any persdn, with intent to hinder him from working or being employed at such trade, business or manufacture." On Monday morning the cases were to have come up before the magistrate for preliminary hearing. W. E. Williams, representing the accused men, however, wanted an adjournment as he had not had an opportunity to consult the men sufficiently. The request was granted, although Mr. Fisher, representing the prosecution, urged that there were reasons why there should be as little delay as possible. The accused were called up in threes and formally remanded. Those charged were as follows: N. .McDonald, Bosco Mikovich, P. Pos- tolo, L. Collett, James Yanus, W. Blakey, M. Petroff, D. Coma, M. K. Perlch, W. Fraser, John Illeroz, Mat Verich, M. Burich, Milan Vucovich, Mike Jukich, B. Yukovich, Chris Woods, Frank Collett, V. Delavlch, S. Bovich, L. Lazovich, M. Seovich, N. Strngar, S.

Counsel for tho men asked that all those charged under section 502 of tho code should be allowed out on bail. It was in the interests of humanity, The ends of justice, he felt, woudl be met just as well. His Worship said that be wou.d be very careful about granting bail. He did not intend to allow any against whom serious offences were laid to go on bail. Mr. Fisher said that he agreed with the magistrate. There were more serious charges against these men than these laid. The magistrate said he would not grant bail in any general way. There might be some particular cases. Mr. Williams said he would apply for Lublch, Macvidich, Illicit, who was a property owner, N. Rocovich and N. Stugar and some others, and the magistrate agreed to sit in the afternoon and dispose of these applications.

The Industrial hall has been allowed to be opened again on assurances being given to the chief of police that there would be nothing disorderly, the members of the association being agreeable to allowing police officers to attend meetings. • Today W. H. Montgomery, of the Longshoremen's Pnion, complained of the improvised jnll, saying that the men were not comfortable. He made this complaint to the mayor, who said that lie would himself investigate. His Worship went to tlie jail and looked into conditions. lie asked tbe men awaiting trial If they bad any complaints. They admitted they were as comfortable as it was possible to make them, They expressed a desire to be out of the Quarters and also asked that there sliould be no longer delay than possible in bringln gthem to trial. .Mayor Manson personally asked Mr, Fisher to use every means to bring the hearing on as expeditiously as possible. Incidentally it may be mentioned that the delay so far has been at the instance of the counsel for the men who wanted time to consult with them. Since the outbreak on Thursday there has been no demonstration of force at any point where the work is going on. o The local militia corps, Earl Grey's Rifles paraded to the Church of England last Sunday morning, when a special sermon was preached to them by Rev.

Independent Expert May Be Asked to Co into Whole Proposition Before Option Expires As a result ol' the investigations being conducted by tbe engineers representing the Granby company, it seems to be practically settled that a smelter shall be erected at Goose Bay. Tlie Hidden Creek property, which is held under option is, according to the best Information available, proving all that was expected of it. Not, only is there nearly naif a million tons of ore in sight and practically blocked out, but the drills leave readied vast bodies in addition to this so that an ample supply for the proposed smelter to be ercted Is assured. With several weeks yet to run before the option expires it is reported that independent experts will be asked to go in and pass upon the New District Will be Attractive Section for Mining Men This Year.

Labor troubles in tlie United Kingdom coal fields have also been a powerful factor in favor of foreign shippers, while the operation of the coal mines (eight hours) act has not improved the situation. At one time tlte home market was considered inviolate against imports from abroad, but, of late, several cargoes of Westphalan qualities have been forwarded lo the Thames. Indeed, although charters for carrying Gorman coal to Italian Egyptian and Soutli American ports were at one time of rare occurrence, they are now almost familiar. Two important contracts for Havre and Savona were only a few days ago wrested by Germany from merchants in the north of England, and others are expected to follow. American firms, too, are now invading markets that were at one time practically monopolized bf Britisii shippers. As a matter of fact, inquiries have been circulating in the freight market for tonnage to carry 200,000 of coal from Baltimore to Havre. This quantity is, it is slated, to be delivered over tlie next four months to the order'of the French Stales railways, the business being diverted from South Wales in consequence of the recent agitation there. About three months ago the Navigazione Genet-ale Italiana gave an order for 150,000 tons of American coal, and the probability of a permanent trade is being overlooked seeing that, as the syndicate which lo developing the rial lands in West Virginia and Pennsylvania has acquired valuable iron ore properties In Spain, it will now be possible to run a regular line of steamers from Baltimore to the Mediterranean with good prospect of return cargoes, All these foreign enter) rises will. naturally, seriously prejudice the employment of British tramp steamers, :i movemenl which will he still further accentuated if a hill which Is being promoted by the Italian rov- ,-iie■.,.,!i, paa es into law. This measure provides feu the payment eef an annual suhsiely lo an Italian steamship company for the transportation every year from Wales of 00,000 tons of coal for the state railroads and 100,000 tons for the navy, the contract to last for ten years from July 1, 1912. o Smith and brown, running opposite ways round a corner, struck each other. "Oh," says Smith, "how you made my head ring!" "That's a sign it's hollow," said •Brown. "Didn't yours ring?" asked Smith. "No," said Brown. "That's a sign it's cracked," replied his friend. Joe McGrath, one of the veteran prospectors of tlie north has outfitted for the territory and with a launch will push his way as far up the Naas as he can go by boat. He will then proceed on foot, making careful inspection for mining propositions and also for land. .Mr. McGratn wns an early staker on Portland Canal. He also located the Red Wing group at Goose Bay, which is now held hy the Pacific Metals Company, of Victoria. INCREASED PRICES l.iiixl Values Have Advanced in the the West as Result of Demand Western Canada lands are certainly increasing in value, and it is quite evident that there will soon be no more $15 an acre land in the west, Whether this is through the reciprocity talk, railroad construction or the natural law of supply and demand, reasonably priced land as measured by former standards, is certainly vanishing at a wonderful rate. It was learned today that the Hudson's Bay Company has put into effect a remarkable increase In the prices of their lands, ranging from $3 to $10 per acre additional. Lands located on lines which three weeks ago were generally quoted at $14 and $15 per acre, cannot now be purchased from tlie company at less than $2 0 and $25 'per acre. This will no doubt be the signal for the general increase on the part of all companies in price of their lands in the west. Notwithstanding the increased prices buying is extremely active and sales are daily reported at from $20 to $30 per acre. There is every indication that in tlie matter of farm land values the west has entered on a new era and that 1911 will usher in tne establishment of a considerably higher standard of prices. o "Oil, sir, will you please come at once?

"The Masset Rc- ier," Masset, Q.C.I A Tuesday, April 11, 1911. PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL IN BRITISH HOUSE Some Peculiar Facts Concerning Mem bers Past and Present. There Have Been Very Unexpected Elections and Many Interesting Contests Within recent years the Britisii Parliament has had at least three blind members. One of them was Mr. Fawcett, who was postmater- general in Mr. Gladstone's second administration. Tlie second was knighted for his services on the commission on the blind, deaf and dumb. The House of Commons has had many men of great stature, but the tallest of them was Sir Frederick Milner, of whom the following story is told: When he and Sir Frank Lockwood once met at a public dinner, the baronet warned his hearers that Sir Frank was going to caricature him. "It is perfectly true," answered Lockwood, himself a man of six feet and two inches, "that I contemplated issuing a portrait of my worthy friend, but owing to his great length It should have to come 'In parts, and I had my misgivings as to getting subscribers." It seems almost an impossibility for a man to be elected to Parliament without having any knowledge of the honor that was being done him. But this seemingly impossible thing has happened more than once. Captain Suter, elected as M. P. while fighting 6,000 miles away in South Africa; Sir James Fergusson, while lying at death's door from wounds received in the Crimea; Sir E. F. Evans, while absent in America, and O'Donovan Rossa, while imprisoned for treason, were elected to Parliament. John Daly was returned for Limerick while In Portland Prison, and Michael Davitt was elected at Meath In 1S82, and then went back to prison to complete and unexpired sentence. In the same year Mr. Powell, the Tory member from Mnlmsbury, ascended In a balloon and vanished completely from human ken. Douglas Pyne, member for West Waterford, made an equally mysterious and dram?tic exit from the world. He was seen on one of the steamboats crossing from Dublin to Halyhead, but when the boat arrived no trace ol his was visible beyond a handbag and a few letters. Perhaps the most singular and romantic pair of members of the house in modern times was James O. Kelly, member for Roscommon, the stoy of whose adventures before he became a legislator is more thrilling than fiction. To give out a few examples: When Mr. Kelly was a young man he was the correspondent of a Cuban paper at the time when that country was in the throes of civil war. He was arrested as a spy, sentenced to death and actually was facing the rifles of the firing party when the United States consul arrived on the scene and rescued him a few seconds before the time for the fatal command was to have been given. He fought valiantly with the French against the Prussians, saved the life of the Empress of Brazil, had many a hair-breadth escape from death in Canada, Mexico and Algiers, and was lost a whole year in the Soudan. J. F. X. O'Brien, the second of this adventurous pair, was sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered for the part he took in a Finian rising, and it was only his gallantry during a fire, when, at great risk to his life, he rescued some women and children, that caused the death sentence to be commuted to one of penal servitude for life, which, after years of durance, was remitted. LONDON'S LOCK-STEP FAD Do you know the "lock-step"? If not, says the Paris Matin, go to London, and take a look over the principal arteries of that immense capital. In order to do the "lock- step" you jump from one leg to the other with a firm and rhythmic movement, and you let one leg remain in the air an nstant, just like a chicken in distress in a pool of water. The famous "lock-step" was launched by one of the big theatres of the capital, and since then all the Londoners, amused by it, have tried their best, no matter where they are to master the secret ot its cadence. The success of the new fad has been such that, according to the Matin, "professors of 'lock-step' hire men to go about the streets marking the time of the movement and distributing prospectuses bearing tbe address of the masters in the art of the 'lock-step.' " STATE CONTROL American Telephone & Telegraph Company Favors Regulations but not Publi. Anui.-My That state control and regulation of public utilities has effectually killed all sentiment for municipal ownership in the United States is the burden of the annual report of the directors of the American Telephone & Telegraph Company, made public in New York. State control, the report says, is a necessity, but it urges that "governmental' and state supervision should stop at control and regulation and should not be used to manage or operate public utilities nor to dictate what tbe management and operation should be beyond requirements for the greatest possible economy and efficeney. The report continues: "If there is to be state control and regulation of public utility corporations, there should also be state protection to a corporation which is striving to serve the whole co imunity. Parts of such a corporation's service must neces- sarly be unprofitable, and it should be protected from aggressive competition covering only that part of its interests which are profitable. "Government control should protect the investor as well as the public. Through a wise and judicious state control all the advantages and none of the disadvantages of state ownership may be secured and state ownership will be doomed. The directors report recites the fact that opposuion companies are being merged with the Bell where ever It could legally be done with the pub'ic acquiescence. It declares that the public is tired of dual telephone exchanges, adding that as fast as confidence in protection against the real or imaginary cvels of monopoly increases, opposition to the mergers will decrease. As to the financial condition of the company, the report declares that in 1910 the gross revenues of the Bell system were $165,000,000 which paid dividends of $25,000,000. The net revenue of the American Telegraph & Telephone Company for last year Is given as $31,933,000, which yielded dividends of $20, 676, 000.

W. HART Corner 2nd Avenue and Sixth Street Opposite Empress Theatre RESERVE ON LANDS Government Takes Steps to Preserve the Public Domain for Settlers. Interior Districts Have Had All Unalienated Sections Taken off Murket A very important change in the land policy of the British Columbia government is crystallzed in an order-in-council passed at a special meeting of the executive, which has been officially promulgated in a special issue of tbe British Columbia Gazette. In substance the effect of the new order, the most important in its relationship to the administration of the crown lands of this province since Hon. .Mr. Ross assumed the charge of the department, is to increase the price of land classified as second class from ?2.50 to $5.00 per acre, and that of first-class land from $5.00 to $10.00. The new scale of prices will prevail from the beginning oi tlie provincial year, that is in respect of all pending applications not already passed at the old standard of prices In addition to thus amending the •schedule of prices for crown land, the government is also doubling the fee to purchasers of lands by the crown the charge hereafter being 50 cents per acre in the place of 25 cents previously charged. There will be no increase In tlie acreage survey charge to the pre- emptor, whose position in other respects well remains unaltered. That is. pre-emptors will continue to acquire lands under the old conditions and nt tlie old prices, and lo enjoy the advantage of entering upon and taking up lands within the various reserves, closed as against investors. In addition to increasing the sale prices of public- lands, the government at the council meeting decided to pliie-o under reserve from alienation otherwise than by pre-emption all tbe crown lands Included in the Cariboo, Lillooet and Kamloops division of Yale district, the territory thus withdrawn from iln- market extending from but a little above the 50th paralel of north latitude to the provincial boundary ten degrees farther north or an area roughly comprising from one-quarter to one- third of the total area of tlie province. There are, of course, in this immense territory some fifty million acres or more, some isolated areas of lands already disposed of or staked for purchase under pending applications, which will not be affected by the declared reserve or by the present revision of land policy except in so far as the purchasers will be required to pay for their properties, if their applications are allowed, at the new instead of the old acreage scale. There will .undoubtedly be some dissatisfaction on the part of intended purchasers, and more especially those having pending applications before the minister, in consequence of the advance in prices, but when the augmentation in value—in consequence of the shutting out of all other would-be purchasers by the declared reserve—of the lands that they will be permitted to acquire, is taken into consideration, it would seem that they will find in their comparatively monopolistic position abundant compensation for the increase in price. The action of the minister and the goiernment Is clearly defensible on the score of both public and business policy. British Columbia properties throughout the length and breadth of the province have materially increased in worth during the past decade. Advancing railway con structlon and road building make them more valuable dally. As assets, or as marketable commodities, (lie same conditions as to augmentation of values apply to the public lands of British Columbia as to the western lands in the hands of the large holding companies, such as the Hudson's Bay Company and the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. All these great companies have latterly materially increased their prices—in much larger proportion than prices of provincial crown lands. To have taken any other action than keep the prown lands on a reasonable parity of value with lands in the hands of such great holding companies would obviously have marked a laxity on the part of the government in recognition of its responsibility as custodian of tlie people's heritage. It is understood to be the intention of the minister of lands to proceed almost immediately with the systematic surveying of the lands contained In the various existing reserves these lands, as surveys are completed in particular sections, reasonably in touch with present or prospective transportation facilities, being from time to time placed on the market as demand and conditions generally justify. The department in this connection is considering the advisability of adopting the sale by auction system, ^Ssd it is quite possible that an experiment in this direction may be tried before the present season has come to a close.
