The Middle States Will Finnish Supply to Canada, It Is Expected (Special to The Journal) Winnipeg, July 26.—-Intimation conies from Saskatchewan to the effect that the government of that province has pretty well taken care of any excess of harvesters it may require this year over previous years. The great number of harvest- esters required in the prairie provinces Is considered usually to he very much over-rated. In a measure, the fortunate operations of providence are likely to help out where the arrangements of officials may prove ineffective. The crops in the middle wst states are expected to be so light this year that many men who would otherwise be engaged in harvesting them will drift north Into the prairie provinces. Hon. Duncan Marshall, minister of agriculture in Alberta, has not yet heard anything deflntely concerning the suggestion that the railways permit the flat fare rate of ten dollars to convey harvesters west to Leth- bridge, Calgary, Edmonton and intervening points, i ormerly that rate has only applied to those coming not farther west than Moose Jaw. Mr. Marshall understands that the railways are considering the proposal "There will be a scarcity of labor," he said, "but our commissioners at Montreal and Toronto will endeavor to have train loads of men sent direct to this province. Formtrly they have been staying off in Manitoba and Saskatchewan simply because because the ten dollar rate only carried them as far as Moose Jaw; but this year we hope to have the same rate prevail right to the Alberta towns." o Arc Light System The light committee of the council has had the question of installing arc lights instead of clusters of in- eandescents for street lighting referred to it. The cost is not to exceed $3,000, according to the estimate. THIRD CANDIDATE George Norrow Will Divide Honors in the Liberal Cause Here. He Will Contest Comox-Atlin at the Next Dominion Contest The repeated rumors of a Dominion election is' having the effect of arousing the fighting spirit on both sides of politics. While it has become generally agreed that Duncan Ross shall be the Liberal candidate if he wishes to accept there are others seeking that honor. Among them are George Morrow, so well PASSES SENATE Washington, July 25.—Reciprocity with Canada was passed by the Senate of the United States in pwrae tically the same e-hape In which It had passed the house. The vote was 53 to 27. The McCumher amendment was defeated by a vote of G4 to 16 just before the measure was put. The amendment provided for the reduction of duties on various household articles. Nelson's amendment placing duties on grain, butter, cheese, horses, cattle and sheep, and the Simons amendment placing meat products on the fre list also were defeated. know here. According to reports received from Mr. Morrow he will offer to receive nomination on the Liberal side but if he does not get It he will not be disappointed, for he will enter the fight as an independent. Duncan Ross is not regarded with entire favor by the party. There are other names mentioned and it is even mentioned that the bench might be invaded in order to secure a suitable candidate to contest the seat. BACK PROM TRIP Dr. Kergin Has Returned From a Trip to Alice Arm Dr. Kergin has returned from a holiday trip' made in his launch, the Sunbeam, as far as Alice Arm. The return trip was made from that point to Prince Rupert in ten hours, his new launch proving excedlngly fast. The trip made by the doctor was very much enjoyed and he s feeling much better for the outing. The territory visited Is not now to Dr. Kergin, who has visited nearly all points on the northern coast and knows them well. Speaking of the mining outlook at the different points visited, he says there are excellent showings being made by the operators which promises well for the future. Rich ore bodies are constantly being developed and the outlook is exceedingly bright. o Resignation Accepted The resignation of Mr. Simpson in the city engineer's department was accepted by the council last evening. Aid. Newton In moving the adoption of the report hoped that no one would be engaged to fill his place. o LEFT FOR ISLANDS Many are Going to Queen Charlottes to Investigate Natural Resources. Lumber and Fisheries of tlie District > Arc Attracting Investors On her last trip to the Queen Charlotte islands the Princess Beatrice took a large number of timber cruisers, who have gone over to investigate the timber of the islands for intending investors. The party took with power boats so that they might get about the inlets with greater ease. In addition to these timber cruisers there also went to the islands a party of men representing British capital who have in view the investigating of the fishing industry of the coast. The latter will go to the west coast of Graham Island In the search for a site for the station'which Is contemplated. , The Indications are that before the present slimmer has passed there will be an immense amount of interest shown In the islands and the outlook is exceedingly good for that portion of this northern territory. The weather conditions and the Immense natural resources of the islands are sufficient to warrant the belief that within the next few years the Queen Charlottes will have a population that will form in itself a large trade with this port. The Islands produce the best of timber, unlimited supplies of fish, coal and other minerals and has agricultural resources that a suffficient to meet the demands of a vast population in the matter of dairy produce vegetables and fruits. ULTIMATUM COMES FROM SIR WILFRID He Threatens That if Reciprocity is Not Put Through Without Appeal to Country He Will Cut the West off From its Proper Representation (Special to«The Journal) Ottawa, July 25.—"Permit a vote to be taken in parliament on reciprocity or we will take the vote of the Canadian people on it without delay," was the ultimatum which Sir Wilfrid Laurier addressed to the Conservative opposition in parliament yesterday. The chief obstacle to holding the election to which the premier referred is that under the census, which is just being taken. Western Canada would be entitled to twenty or more additional members. The census will not be completed until October and the law giving the west its increased representation cannot be passed for some weeks after that. If an election were held before the law is enacted the west will be under represented in parliament for at least four years the political leaders believe the west will show resentment to which ever party it holds responsible. "Our opponents," said Sir Wilfrid Laurier, "try to convince the public and the country they are not obstructing us. Neither the census nor the re-distribution is before the house today and we cannot go on with them. But reciprocity is he- fore the house to be dealt with. We do not want reciprocity to wait. We want It to pass either in this house or before the country." R. L. Borden replied that as Canada had waited forty years for reciprocity it could afford to wait six months longer and allow re-distribution to give the west its proper representation. WATER IN CABINS IS SEEKING PEACE Aid. Newton in Pressing for Reduction Runs up Against Difficult Situation. Readjustment of Rate Might Have to Be Made if His Proposal Came Into Effect King George is Intervening to Avoid Creation of Large Number . of Peers. A Satisfactory Solution of the Riffi- culty Seems Now in Sight AN OFFICIAL YISIT liuues Thomson of Hudson's Ray Company Is in the North James Thomson of the Hudson's Bay Company, accompanied by Mrs. Thomson and their son, was a passenger by the Princess Royal today. Mr. Thomson went on to Wrangcl, where he will leave Ihe steamer, in- tending to proceed up the Stlcklne on his regular tour of Inspection. Owing to the condition of the river Mr. Thomson is a little doubtful whether he will be able to ascend the river. Returning, he will go up the Skeena and tlience into the interior of the province in the interests of the company he represents. Mr. Thomson Is one of the most energetic representatives of a company that is not behind in point of energy. He will spend a longer time here on his return trip from Sticklne. o The Princess Royal of the C. P. R. line reached port this forenoon northbound. She carried a large number of passengers on the round trip. Among there were Mr. Ford of the Saturday Sunset and Judge Grant of Vancouver. Aid. Newton introduced a motion last evening at the city council in favor of making the water rates collectable for cabin tenements proportionate to the rate charged hotels. The motion brought forth quite a discussion, after which it was referred to the water committee for consideration. > Aid. Hilditch wanted to know what the rate of hotels were so as to compare them. Two men "batching" in a cabin should use as much water as a man and his wife in a five room house, said Aid. Hilditch, and he did not see why they should have a lower rate than the family men. Aid. Newton explained that what he had in view was the reduction of the rates where a row of cabins were built and occupied. He did not think it was quite fair to charge for each of them the same rate as would be charged for a house. Aid. Hilditch said that if they lowered the rate on one section it would have to be raised elsewhere. Men with families had to pay $12 a year now. There was a certain revenue to be derived. If reductions were made on one class of water users others woulu have to bear an additional burden. A reference to the bylaw showed that hotels paid a rate upon a certain number of rooms and then $2 a year extra for each room. Aid. Hilditch did not think the city could afford to let cabins off at $2 a year. A little cross-fire between Aid. Newton and Aid. Hilditch followed, the former contending that his motion did not mean a reduction to that figure, and Aid. Hilditch expressing the view that he could not Interpret it in any other way. It was finally referred to the water committee. Against Launch The streets committee reported against the launch offered the city by Foley, Welch & Stewart. It was considered to be insufficient for general work. o Tenders for Coal Tenders were received last evening by the council for the delivery of 225 tons of lump coal for the lighting plant. The tenders were as follows: Rochester & Munro, $ 85; Rodgers & Black, $8.25; Union Transfer, $8.25. These were referred to the committee with power to act. o Pipe Oi-gim for City The Methodist Church of Prince Rupert has received the pleasing news from Victoria that the Metropolitan Church of that city will present the local congregation with the pipe organ which was in use there until a year ago, when it was replaced with a larger one. The organ will he available for the new church to be erected by the Methodists of Prince Rupert. It is a first class organ and was considered one of the best in Victoria previous to the introduction of the new one there. —; o WOULD SETTLE HERE Rev.

A meeting of all the supporters of the Conservative party in the City of Prince Rupert will be held in Melntyre Hall on Tuesday evening, July 25, ut 8 o'clock, for the purpose of naming delegates to a convention to he held later to nominate a candidate for the electoral district of Comox-Atlin. Admission will he hy ticketi These may be secured upon application from the following!— J, G. Scott, M. M. Stephens, Dr. Melntyre, G. W. Kerr, Prank E. Cullin, Dr. Clayton, .1. W. Potter, .1. F. Macdonald, Dr. Cade, L. Crippen, M. Albert. W. J. QUINLAN, Secretary. Rev. Father Hartman of this city has returned from a visit to Victoria, where, in company, with the representative of a prospective colony from near Edmonton, he interviewed members of the provincial government relative to securing the lands necessary for the purpose. The site proposed by Father Hartman is adjoining what is known as Naas Lake Certain difficulties have to be considered by the government in connection with the scheme submitted. The desire of the represenatives of the settlers is to have the land taken up as pre-emptions without the necessity of going to the expense and labor involved in each coming to the land and staking themselves, as is necessary under the laws of the province. They desire to act collectively In this part of the work. If the difficulty can be overcome in any way tlie land will at once he taken up. The area proposed to be taken is twenty-five miles square. The families intended to be re-ISe-h moved io the farms are not to come directly from Germany. They are on the prairies near Edmonton and while they are of German blood they know conditions in the wesi. They would prefer to come to the Pacific coast, where the weather conditions are more to their liking and if tho necessary arrangements can he made for the taking up of the land 150 families will sell out on the prairie and make their homes here. The representatives of the party have visited the location. They are well satisfied with conditions. The land is rich and according to the representative who went in with Father Hartman is superior even to the famed Okanogan as a farming location. If the land is taken the settlement .\ill ark thai a wagon reiael be |>ut in before they are obliged to move onto the land. Bach of the families will take up l'ln acres of land und Hie money derived from th<- sale of the lands on the prairies will be! well equipped to enter upon farming on a good scale. The clearing] will not he excessively high and the land is productive, In point of market the development of the mining districts in the north at. Goose Bay, Alice Arm and | Stewart and elsewhere will give a splendid opportunity for disposing of the produce. Father Hartman, who visited the location himself, is delighted with the character of the country and predicts a great future for the Naaa Valley and the vast districts tributary to It, The "root and branch" men of the city council were- strongly in evidence ai the council meeting last evening. Their attention was for the time being directed toward the po- lice magistrate and they proceeded to sit as a court of appeal and general review upon the decisions of the magistrate. Tlie subject was introduced by Aid. Clayton and the attack upon the magistrate found an echo from Aid. Newton and Aid. Douglas who "corroborated" the others. Aid. Clayton moved that a report concerning the recent gambling cases should be furnished hy the city solicitor. Aid. Douglas said there was a lot of comment about these cases. It was a disgrace the way the people were talking about these, he said. Aid. Newton was afraid that the remarks of Aid. Douglas would lead to a belief that the police were lax. He believed that today Prince Rupert could pride itself on its police force. It was a difficult task the police had. He believed that the police were not as blamable as the officials. He had it on good authority that the magistrate reprimanded the chief for not having gone first to him and given the information before bringing the gambling cases into court. Believing this to be true, It is a lamentable state of affairs. There was too groat a tendency to deal lightly with some while pouncing upon others. Some of those most responsible should not go unpunished. This "pulling up" of six men and letting the really guilty one go free looked too much like partiality being shown. He objected to the magistrate acting as one who wanted to act as prosecutor, judge and jury. Aid. Clayton said he did not propose to connive at crime. He did (Continued on Page Eight) , o TO NAME DELEGATES Conservatives of the City Will Meet This Evening Preliminary to Big Convention. tlon Will Ite- Mail' • f Those Who Will Represent 1 ic.-ll Association Alex.

At that time, of course, there was hardly a white man in the country with the exception of one lonely settler at Grand Forks and some score of placer miners at Wild Horse Creek, near where Fort Steele is now located," said Hon. Edgar Dewdney, builder of the great Dewdney trail, ex-member of the provincial house for Kootenay and ex-lieutenant governor of the province, on a recent visit to Nelson. It was In April of 1865 that Mr Dewdney, then chief civil engineer for the crown colony of British Columbia, left New Westminster, which was then the capital, and proceeding to Hope, commenced that trail blazing trip of his with a party of four white men and 18 Indians which was destined to be marked with white stones in the history of Britisii Columbia. The trail opened up a country which had hitherto been a terra incognita; a land of mighty rivers and almost impassable pine clad mountains known only to the deer, the bear and other native animals, and a few scattered bands of Indians. Its mineral resources were only indicated by a few placer de- popsits,' lode mining was unthought of; its timber was not needed, and it was yet 30 years before the adaptabilities of its fertile soil to fruit was discovered. Through this country Mr. Dewd ney commenced to survey the great trail, in all over 300 miles in length which extended from Wild' Horse Creek to Hope and there connected with a road to the coast, from which all supplies had to he drawn. The actual number of miles of trail, hewn out of the virgin forest, was 211, and the cost to the country was $74,000, a trifling sum compared with the difficulties of the work and the advantages that accrued to the province, that are still, in certain sections, falling to the lot of the Britisii Columbian, ,"I explored the country between the Arrow Lakes and the Kootenay River," said Mr. Dewdney, "and finding that it would be necessary for me to come up the river, I sent out two of my party with some of the Indians out toward Grand Forks, then called Grand Prairie, and wishing to obtain a boat I despatched one of my Indians to the mouth of the Kootenay River where is joins theh Columbia. At that spot there was a large Indian village, ruled by Chief Gregorle, one of the big chiefs of the Kootenay tribe. He supplied me with a canoe, and after I had made the trip to Fort Colvllle, on the other side of the boundary line, for supplies, I commenced the trip ui> the Kootenay River. "It was no picnic. We made 14 portages in all, and at some places had to go miles from tin- river to find a deer trail through which the Indians could carry my boats and supplies. "I remember my first sight of the Bonnington Falls. We were making a portage and although some distance from the river I heard tho sound nf the water. 1 asked an Indian what ii was and he replied 'Hyas Skookitin Marie,' and told me to look. I made my way to the river and saw what 1 then considered, and in fact still consider, the most beautiful falls in the world. The scene was magnificent, "Following the river, we passed where Nelson now stands, and I went on io W'ilel Horse Creek In Easl Kootenay. There I found a number of miners washing gold from the alluvial diggings, some of which arc being worked today, and after determining upon ihe route for the trail tu Hope I succeeded in obtaining between <•" und 70 men ami placed them in charge- nf William Fi-rnle, the fine old tinier who elis- covered coal In tin- Crow's Nest and after Whom the city nf Fertile is named. "By the middle of September wo had the trail built through our own country, over which wns subsequently supplied all the food and other materials required in the early development of the Interior." There were other troubles than physical with which Mr. Dewdney had to contend in building the trail. The Indians, he said, were good workers, but they would not accept money In payment. For this there were two reasons. One was that all the money In the interior, which erlcanwas not of any great amount, was American', and the Indians hated the Americans as they hated soap and water, and would not take their money. English money, when they had learned its value, was all right, as they liked "King Georgo men," as they called the English, but to- ************************* bacco, articles of clothing and powder formed the most acceptable payment that could be made to them. The Dewdney trail commenced at White Horse Creek, passed through Cranbrook, which was then called "Pea Vine Prairie," to Moyie, and then down Goat River and across the divide to the Kootenay flats. From there it wound its way up Summit Creek, passed where Ymlr now is, down the Pend D'Oreille to Fort Sheppard, a Hudson Bay post. The next point was Trail Creek, from wliere It passed in sight of Red Mountain, where the Le Roi mine was later discovered and where Rossland has since been built, to Christina Lake through Grand Prairie to the Boundary country and up Rock Creek. The trail then followed the Similkameen River to Keremeos and up to Princeton, where it connected with a road which had been built from Hope. Previous to embarking upon what may be regarded as the greatest achievement of his life, Mr. Dewdney surveyed the townsite of New Westminster, the capital of the Colony of British Columbia, which until 1866 was separate from the Colony of Vancouver Island, which had Victoria as its capital. He also explored along the present route of the G. T. P. and was up the Skeena, Omineca and Babine rivers opening a route to the Omineca country, which was consuming a great amount of supplies owing to the placer oper- at'ons in that district. Later, Mr. Dewdney was elected member for Kootenay and took part in the memorable debate on March 9, 1870, when it was decided that the colony should join the Dominion Confederation. From 1892 to 1897 he was lieutenant governor of the province. Mr. Dewdney has great faith In the future of the Similkameen country and has its mineral, timber and farming resources at his finger tips. while he was on his way to Lucknow his force was stopped by a walled enclosure. A little soldier, a Punjabi Mohammedan, seeing the difficulty, endeavored to open the door which barred their way. When he tried first to draw the bolt one of his hands was cut off by one of the enemy. Then he managed to unfasten the bolt with his other hand, which was subsequently nearly severed from the wrist. o J. F. MacDonald spent a few days in the city this week. He has his furniture stock in Hazelton and has opened up business there.

DANGER FROM FIRE (heater Care Is Necessary if Forests Are to Re Protected From Ravage of Flames While the province has been exceptionally fortunate in the matter of forest fires and consequent loss thus far this season—in large part owing to ceasless watchfulness—It Is only by observance of the utmost care that outbreaks can now be avoided in certain dangerous districts, points out Commissioner W.

"In some districts," says the commissioner, "the conditions existing at present are such that should a fire originate, it will only be with the greatest difficulty that a heavy lass will he prevented.

Immense Bodies of Iron Would Take Part—Some of the Striking Features The size of a modern battlefield has been the subject of discussion recently among German military experts who have been stimulated thereto by a new book by General Falkenhausen, one or the most eminent authorities ou land war strategy. The conclusions at which the participants in this interesting debate arrive revealm to the uninitiated the amazing dimensions which a.battlefield in a twentieth century war would assume. General Faulkennausen discusses the theoretical case of an army with a rival force of approximately the game numbers, and he says that the operations would extend over an area fully 200 miles from side to side and not less than 150 miles deep, that is from the rear of one army to the rear of its enemy. But an army of this size would be small in an up-to-date warfare, for forces of this numerical strength took the field as long ago as the Franco-German campaign of 1870, since when marvelous developments in military matters have ensued. In a struggle between two great European powers, it is quite possible and indeed probable that each of the opposing forces would number something over three million troops, for German, France, Russia, and Austria-Hungary are all capable of sending such armies to the front without touching their respective last lines of reserves. If two such armies were engaged in battle, the field of their operations would probably extend quite 500 miles from side to side, while the distance from the rear of the one force to the rear of the other could hardly be less than 300 miles. Thus the battlefield would have an area of 15,000 square miles. When Frederic the Great fought his battles In the eighteenth century, the field of operations never exceeded more than four miles from side to side and in the Russo-Japanese war, when, owing to the great distance from the respective bases, there were never more than three or four hundred thousand troops simultaneously in action, the battlefields remained limited in extent. Siipee liiiin.iii Trick Will the generals of the future be equal to the almost superhuman task of directing operations over such immense areas? Every army must have a commander-in-chief and the generalissimo must control the move, ments of all the troops united under his orders. He will have all the latest technical devices at his disposal. Hundreds of miles of telegraph and telephone wires will be rapidly laid down in order that he may exchange orders and communications with his auxiliar yofflcers. There will be motor cars and flying machines, dirigible airships and spherical balloons, bicycles and apparatus for wireless telegraphy and telephony, besides other mechanical contrivances for signalling. Will they suffice to surmount the purely technical difficulties nvolved inestablishing effective communication over such an area, especially as they have to be installed and equipped for service in a very short space of time? And if they furnish a perfect communicating machine, wil there be any human brain capable of mentally digesting the information supplied to him with be- wildering speed from so many different soudces and In working out In his mind the profoundly complex problems connected With the movements of such legions of human engines of war? Would Molike, tho greatest stateglst of modern times, If he were alive, be able lo handle armies of millions with the ease and celerity necessary for success? Are the great armies created by the leading countries of Europe really efficient Instruments of war or would the complicated machinery break down tinder the stress of actual hostilities? Experts Discuss Problem All these questions are occupying the minds of European experts, but only a war can supply conclusive reply to them. There is.however, a strong inclination among many competent judges to regard the countless legions of the great powers as inefficient because they are too big and unwieldy to handle with facility and because no human brain can surmount the difficulties of directing their movements with precision. There would be plpenty of other problems to solve besides those of generalship. The feeding of such vast hosts of men would be a gigantic task. As the great army moved forward, something like 3,000 field bakeries would have to be constructed for use every day and as there are underground, and created by excavating earth, extensive areas of country would be honey-combed by these holes, involving much damage to landowners and farmers and danger to all pedestrians in those regions. Soldiers do not live by bread alone, and the supply of other provisions for a three-million army would strain the resources of any commissariat department, even the smartest, to the uttermost. The supply of pure water, too, would present grave and In dry weather perhaps insuperable difficulties. There would be tens and hundreds of thousands of horses to tend and feed and enormous quantities of petroleum required for the various motor cars employed for auxiliary purposes. The ordinary brain reels at the thought of all the intricate machinery that would have to be set In motion and kept in good working order in the event of a great modern war. Some German authorities predict an abandonment of very great armies based on compulsory military service for every male adult in the country and recourse to smaller armies of trained fighters. Then comparatively few professional sol- battles of the nation, as is the case in England and America. One thing is regarded as certain, if the great military powers of Europe and Asia do not abandon conscription and fall back on smaller armies of professional soldiers, then both America and E-igland will be compelled, as a matter of self-preservation,, to adopt conscription.

J. K. ANDERSON. M. A. Merrill, Agent. Dated Nov. 25, 1910. Dr. Dillon, discussing foreign affairs in the Contemporary Review, states that Russia still keeps her gaze turned Far Eastwards, uncertain whether to dream on or act. Temptation is more potent there than than elsewhere, the line of resistance being weaker. There Is an attraction about China which fascinates. And it is made stronger hy the fact that aggression there may easily appear to a patriotic nation a rational form' of self-defence, a duty it owes to itself. Moreover, the time is short and whatever is to be done in China must be achieved quickly. It was delay that frustrated all Russia's plans In the Near East and in Persia. And delay may ruin her prospects in China for all time if it be persisted in. The perspective is all the moie alluring that Japan and Russia are now virtually allies. And if Japan he with Russia, who can prevail against her? The Russian war min- mlnlster, GeneralSukhomllnoff, has accordingaly st out for the Far East, desirous of studying the whole question on the spot, especially in its more practical aspects, before coming to a decision as to Russia's attitude. Rumor is rife that an offensive and defnsive alliance with Japan is In preparation—a dual alliance for the extreme Orient. That, howver, is almost superflous, so rlosely allied are the two enemies today. Meanwhile China is bestirring herself; her movements, says Dr. Dillon, are mechanical, clumsy, uncontrolled— perhaps uncontrollable for th mo- men.t. They suggest a mighty monster awakening out of a long sleep, but not yet in a state of full con- sciousnss. The European and American press chronicle marvelous progress ther during tho past three years —seven-mil strides towards culture and military development. The Russian statesmen, it is said, rails these things, believes them, and feels alarmed, If China becomes a mlll- lary power, then Russian alms, that seemed within easy distance of al- tP'.nmnt, will fade, away Into the infinite void. And another flv years may suffice to mark of th China of Ihe future from the Celestial Empire Of the past. Anything thai ran lie accomplished In the way of obtaining guarantees for China's good behavior In coming years must, therefore, be taken in hand at once. There Is no time to lose. In another five years the op;:o tunlty may have vanished. Such is the line of reasoning attributed to Russia by the European press. Dr. Dillon says he cannot believe It, and it Is his Impression that they sincerely wish to live in peace with their Mongolian neighbor. o Proud Motorist—Yes; It took me about six weeks' hard work to learn to drive my machine.

A FALSE POSITION Sir Wilfrid Laurier. according to tin- latest despatches, seems determined to bring on an election wlthoul redistribution. His excuse for so doing is that the Opposition will not allow reciprocity to go to a vote in a house now putting in ils lasl hours. If ever there was good reason fur demanding nn appeal in the people on a live question it is on this occasion. Mr. Borden has assured the leader of the Government that he will give every opportunity to allow the passing of a redistribution act. He is anxious to allow the West to have its full voice in tlie parliament of the Dominion before this question is settled. This is what might have been expected of a man of Mr. Borden's character, who is always eminently fair. On the reciprocity question, however, he stands uncompromisingly in favor of the mandate of the people being taken. Sir Wilfrid seems to be fearful of the results of redistribution. He fears the spirit of the West with the full representation to which It is entitled, it is surely a sign of weakness on his part as to the feeling of the West when he refuses to give it the increased representation before deciding a question of the importance of the reciprocity agreement. Another disturbing feature which the premier is doubtless afraid to face is the question of reducing the representation in the Atlantic Maritime Provinces. Fearful of the attitude of the increased representation in the West and of the protest against, decreased representation in the East, Sir Wilfrid seeks to put the responsibility for forcing the election upon Mr. Borden and catching a verdict from the country upon a distribution of seats that will not adequately represent the electorate. It is a course that is eminently unfair and one which the electorate will surely deal with in no uncertain way. PROBLEM OI 'EERS Lively Speculation on as to Government's Selections in ('use Wholesale Creation Is Decided Upon titled to secure the high distinction of viscountships. Drawing on the House of Commons for new lords presents difficulties. If one hundred or more members of the lower chamber are taken, a miniature general election will be necessary to fill their places and the country and politicians alike are tired to death of elections with ihe consequent turmoil, expense and disturbance to business. -Moreover, the government cannot afford to risk the members of parliament except from safe Liberal constituencies. The exact social status of the new peers, if hatched, is the subject of no little speculation. Tiie Conservatives profess to believe that they will be looked on with amusement and contempt. One writer says that ..moriran heiresses an.' far too shrewd to find such quasi-nohlemen objects of their ambitions. Another suggests the adoption of ihe title of count to the British peerage for the purpose of Asquith s peer for distinguishing the new from the regular delegates as noblemen created for a special political purpose. The Daily Telegraph, a staunch Unionist paper in an editorial says not only that the House of Lords will pass tlie third reading of the veto bill today without division, but when the government hill is returned to the upper chamber shorn of the lord s amendment, they also will pass that, for the simple reason that "there really is no practicable choice," and because it would form an evil and dangerous precedent to bring the crown into the struggle and it would be impossible for the king to withhold his consent if the ministers required the creation of peers. Practically the whole Unionist press has now fallen into line with the Telegraph in the admission that this is the only reasonable policy for the lords to follow, and that the "no surrender" policy would be suicidal. o News of the Province ;j; »* »5* C* •5* »J* *5* "J* *** *** ♦♦* "♦* "J* *♦* "J* *** *5t*5t *** *** *** *** *2* *** *** *** COAL IX ALBERNI will be instructed to ask that the application of the Vancouver board be refused unless Nelson is guaranteed a corresponding reduction in freight charges from the east to Nelson. It was pointed out that Vancouver, on some goods, already has a lower rate than Nelson, and that if the rates to the interior were reduced the position of this city as a wholesale centre would be jeopardized unless Nelson also received a reduction. HEAVY LAND SALES There is much curiosity on the part of politicians over the cabinet's list of potential peers. That a list has been made and is awaiting the possibility of Its use in the event that ibis is necessary to obtain the passage of the veto bill in the House Of Lords then- is no doubt. The government's spokesmen have said repeatedly within the last week that Premier Asquith wns prepared to meet all contingencies of ihe situation in all details, which is taken to mean that he has hidden up his sleeve; two leading sources of supply, these being the eldest sons of Liberal peers and members of parliament. Proposals to enable the eldest sons presents an amusing phase of revolution. Peers of baronial rank think that If their sons are enoble-d, they themselves should be promoted tu be viscounts, when their sons are made barons. Sonic nf the promlenl members of parliament, who are nol adverse to joining the nobility, cherish the Idea thai if a host of barons are to hi' poured Into the upper house'. <>r which a large proportion musl be commonplace persons, they are en- ALBERNI—W. J. Dick, mining engineer for the conservation commission of the Dominion of Canada, spent a week in and around Port Alberni making an examination of the coal indications. He also made a careful ispectlon of the coal show ing that is now being developed on the waterfront a short distance south of the Waterhouse wharf. The tunnel was in S5 feet when Mr. Dick made his examination, and he pro nounced the coal to be a good qual ity suitable for steam purposes and house fuel. It was already of a marketable quality, while the quantity and the ease with which it could be taken out made it a paying proposition. Mr. Dicks investigations led him to the conclusion that the seam on which the miners are working is only one of three, there being evidence of tlie existence of two others farther down, where a superior quality of coal would be found. He could only speculate on the distance of these seams from each other, but thought the second might be struck within (10 feet. At any rate the indications would certainly warrant the operation of a diamond drill. There was no doubt in Mr. Dick's mind but there is an enormous body of good e'oal under the townsite and land on either side and behind it. He estimated the area at eight square miles.

The local representatlv VANCOUVER — That the land operations of the Hudson's Bay Company in Canada for the past year exceed the operations for the year previous by $1,542,500, and that the land branch of the company reports a total sale of 267,000 acres at an average price of $14.03 per acre, against 104,400 acres at an average of $12.43 for the corresponding period, is the interesting report made public here by Herbert E. Burbidge, the company's general sales and store commission, yesterday. "The report of the Hudson's Bay Company, which I have just received, covers a period of 20 months, so far as it concerns the sales shops accounts, which have been brought up to January 31 last, whereas hitherto these figures have always been made up to May 31 of the previous years," explained Mr. Burbidge, in Vancouver, wherie he was supervising the plans of enlargement of his company in that vicinity. "The land covers the period of 12 months ended March 31 last. The results obtained during the period have been of a very encouraging nature, and particularly as regards land operations, which have been productive of no less than $2,742,500, an increase of $1,542,- 000 as compared with 1909-1910. Trading operations, which expression covers, of course, the company's fur dealing business, have resulted in a net profit of $S00,000, or about $31,000 less than in the preceding year. ' Considering the very serious fall in the prices of furs, this must be considered quite satisfactory.. Altogether, therefore, the company shows net receipts of $3,542 5000 during the period in question as against $2,031,000 during 1909- 1910." o "Do you believe in long engagements?" he asked after she had consented to be his. "Yes, dear," she replied. "I have always thought it was such a mistake for two people to rush into matrimony before they learned to really know each other." "Well, about how long would you wish the engagement to be?" "Let me see. Would you think it was too long if we didn't get married until a week from next Thursday?"

WHERE RESPONSIBILITY RESTS Editor The Journal:—It seems a pity that people who can be relied on lo he fairly truthful in ordinary business matters, think it no harm le indulge in niisreprsentation when the object aimed is the advantage of the party in poltics with which they happen to be affiliated. Such an instance occurred recently when the editor of the News stated that the responsibility for bringing on an election before redistribution, and thus practically disfranchising a large number of the western people, must rest with the Conservative opposition at Ottawa. Tlie editor must have known that he was slating something which is absolutely Incorrect and his net Ion can only be accounted tor by the doctrine thnt the end justifies the means.

Laurier was returned to power mainly through his patriotic plea that he was getting old and would like to he allowed ,to finish his work before retiring from public life, his work, as lie put it. being the completion of the G. T. P. On this plea he won thhe election. Surely he will not claim that it is any part of the completion of his railway policy to try and divert traffic from the eastern part of the Dominion to the American territory to the south. The plain facts are that on this question the opposition is standing for responsible government and the right of the people to be consulted before any change having such a far- reaching effect as this will have is adopted. They have offered to vote supply and assist the government to carry on the business of the country for which they were elected, but they will not allow a change In the fiscal policy of the country, which many people who are just as good Canadians as the editor of the News, believe will eventually result in our absolute dependence on the United States, If not our ultimate absoptlon, without first putting it squarely before the people of Canada for their decision, If Hie government decides thnt the question oi passing reciprocity at The British Columbia Company LIMITED.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL ARE GETTING READY Government is Preparing for Settlers in the Peace River District. Government's Survey Work Is Thoroughly in Hand for Season— Up-to-date Information if the strike is settled within the next few weeks, they say, it will be impossible to obtain fuel for a long period, owing to the other demands upon the supply, and shortage of cars during the movement of the wheat in the prairies. The board will hold a special meeting to consider asking the Canadian Pacific Railway to give special rates on coal from Vancouver Island mines to relieve the situation. Otherwise importations must be made from Pennsylvania. With the despatch of two or three complete and well equipped parties to the great virgin territory on the south fork of the upper Fraser between Tete Jaune Cache and Fort George, the survey work of the prov- Inve for the present season may bo said to be thoroughly under way, with prospect of decidedly beneficial and practical results. These various survey parties, of which there are a greater number than usual in the field, have directions to lay out the several large reserves set aside for the particular—indeed exclusive— benefit of the prcemptor; and at the same time they will, in accordance with this season's instructions, supplement their orthodox professional reports with helpful information of the records as to temperature, rainfall, timber conditions soil character, etc., all of which data will be of immense benefit to the prospective settler, to whom it will be freely available at the nearest government office to the desired land as well as at headquarters in this city. There are also in preparation in the department four distinct and separate preemptors' maps of sections contiguous to existent or immediately prospective railway facilities, which maps are being rushed forward with all possible celerity, and will be quickly followed with others as soon as essential data is sufficient for their compilation. Settlement Policy It is recognized by the minister that there is small advantage in campaigning for the settlement and development of the new lands of British Columbia if, on their application for specific and reliable information in respect thereto,, prospective settlers cannot be Immediately and accurately advised as to the prevailing conditions. The policy is therefore being systematically developed of providing the fullest and most up- to-date Information for intended settlers, available where it will be most convenient and of greatest advantage to such prospective colonists. And in this connection the utilization of practical homestead inspectors will probably be necessary and expedient in the not far distant future. All the lands now being surveyed under the direction of the lands department are In territory on the lines of projected or assured railways, or in touch witli navigable arterial waterways, which will assure their expeditious settling up; while surveys are to be hereafter checked up sysT tenia!It-ally- hy an independent and capable official from headquarters. W. s. Drewry has recently been appointed in this capacity. He is to leave at once on his first Inspection tour, in the course of which he will check and confirm various recent surveys in the East Kootenay district, afterwards going Into Cariboo from Ashcroft northwards. This will in all probability be the last season in which government surveys will be conducted in this province by asisgned private members of the profession, engaged by Ihe government, it being the intention to inaugurate the bureau of. surveys provided for in legislation of last session and develop the work of the bureau along systematic and thorough lines, the growth of Britisii Columbia in population and industrial importance having necessitated tlie inauguration of more modern methods. Up to date the department has not found it necessary to go outside of Ihe profession in this province for men competent and ready to direct its field enterprises, and It is Improbable that such necessity wil arise for years to come, although provision Is mnde In the statute by which such a condition may be met with should It present Itself. FORESEES UNION Governor Osborne of Michigan Gives His View of Results to Follow Reciprocity COAL SHORTAGE NELSON—That a joint meeting of the boards of trade of Eastern British Columbia and Southern Alberta should be held at an early date to consider the passage of a joint resolution asking the Dominion government to take some action to relieve the serious situation created by the coal strike, is the suggestion endorsed by the Nelson board of trade, and of the Fernle board of trade. The meeting will probably he held in Nelson. According to local coal dealers, high prices for coal here this winter are inevitable, while a famine is greatly to he feared. Even In a welcoming speech at the opening session in Detroit of thhe National Editorial Association convention, Governor Chase Osborne de- e'lared that the "new trade relations" about to be established were a prelude to a union of nations from the North Pole to the Isthmus of Panama. "I think it is the destiny of America to abolish the long line of menace along our northern border," said the governor, "until we have one country with one type of government, one language, one people from the North Pole to the Isthmus of Panama." In his annual address to the convention, President Baumgartner discussed the advisability of a national law licensing editors. He make a vigorous attack on "yellow newspapers." "The yellow newspaper is not the worst form of journalism, however," continued President Baumgartner. There is a class of newspapers that is in the market brazenly on sale to the higest bidder. Well edited, typographically excellent, respectable, dignified and conservative, having the support of the business community, entering the best homes, yet rotten at heart—these are the papers to be feared. In the purchasable and subsidized press is to be found the most terrible foe of lib, erty, progress and democracy." o :•*** **************** ****** I RUSSIA AWAKENS I * * V * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * .** * * * * * it may seem curious that it should he after China there should come the awakening of Russia. Skilled observers profess to see the signs all over the county—not alone in edu- says the Montreal Herald. Probably the majority of Canadians will wonder, not that should be an awakening, but that it should be so long delayed. Why should Russia have lingered so far behind Europe and America? The explanation put forward Is that her people are Slavs—almost Asiatic in their habits and prone to accept things as they are. Yet they are strangely given io idealize. It is probable that their remoteness from other countries, which kept thehm as a nation apart, aws responsible for their lagging in I lie commercial and industrial race. It is only 50 years since slavery was abolished and until then the owner of peasants could maim, kill and outrage them as he pleased. The Russian peasantry have just and the face has become Known to American. English and German producers, who have agents getting busy all through the czar's dominions. There seems to be an opportunity for the Canadian manufacturers, too, if they feel like establishing branches there. The harvester trust has bought a factory near Moscow and has begun to manufacture the agricultural machinery for which its name is famous with a force of G.OJO men. The beginning of a large amount of business of this kind has been made In Moscow, which is a great commercial city and the real heart of Hussla so far as material development Is concerned. St. Petersburgh is a city ul' li'lilnoonlks (officials). It Is artificial; not Russton, but cosmopolitan, in a cheap, second hand sort of way. MOSCOW, on the other hand, is echt-Russlach, It Is solid, and rich, and genuine, with Its roots deep In the past. You can see the difference at once in the streets, in the shops, In the hotels. The biggest shop by the way, is the enterprise of two Scotsmen, Mulr and Mir- rilees, whose names In Russian look strangely familiar and yet strangely odd. Russian merchants are nearly all sons of peapsants who have piled up their riches painfully, with Incredible clear and certain ahead before they embark on a speculation, In modern methods of business they are scarcely equal competitors with the foreigner, trained to think quickly, cut losses, and take risks. And since agricultural machinery is chiefly English, German or American, the agencies which deal in it are mostly rather than Russian pure.

E. H. Barnet of Renfrew, Ontario, who is now on the Pacific coast. Though Mr. Barnet's timber interests in this and other provinces are figured in the millions, and sine timber men on this side of the boundary line are commonly credited with standing to reap considerable benefit from any prospective reciprocity treaty between Canada and the United States. Mr. Barnet is too loyal to the flag of his own country to permit himself to be swayed by sordid selfishness when the prosperity of the entire Dominion is at stake. "To my way of looking at it, this question of reciprocity is not to be considered lightly or altogether in the nature of a commercial agreement, for if such were the case 1 would soon be found on the side of those advocating it, hut a step that is likely to create a chilled feeling between Canada and the Mother Country. Frankly, I believe the whole scheme is just in keeping with the almost imperial commercial pol- ie-y of the United States. This rec-i proclty treaty is simply a bait held out. to us in the hope that we will he beguiled into such a trap, under the guise of keeping dangling before our eyes an entry for our products into a market estimated at 90,000,- 000 inhabitants. But let the too- confident Canadian beware of the wily sons of Uncle Sam, who do not e'lire a rap for our prosperity, but their own. They are not so philan- thropically inclined as to throw their doors wide open to us. What they will take from us is just a drop In a bucket compared to what they expect lo ship into our markets.

Had they accepted our overtures some twenty years ago, before Canadian industries sprang into existence, it. would have been a good thing for this country at that time, but now, never." "Just look at your own marvelous progress In this province and then tell me if British Columbia is not destined to become the greatest province not alone in Canada, but on the whole American continent. Why, then, should we sell ourselves in commercial slavery and political bondage and enter upon a. road that must ultimately lead to worse; namely, annexation or consolidation? Every Canadian should have sufficient pride, if not patriotism, to remain independent and coveted rather than tied up by a pact that only gives the other fellow a welcome outlet for his products. For almost fifty years the United States has spurned our repeated advances, because she did not need us, and now when he trust bosses deem it opportune, she is willing to admit 'dear little Canada' into her markets, but not until after having studied carefully her own and this country's commercial resources. It is by no means a spontaneous outburst of unselfish friendship that makes the United States want to recognize us al this late hour as a friendly neighbor with whom she should trade in neighborly fashion, bul a mosl cold-blooded and deep-laid political plot, or, as it used to be called, more politely, a coup d'etat to lure this country into an alliance that must ultimately result in her severance from the Mother Country.

Service Jj8k Famous Princess Line x^ The harvester trust has agents everywhere, and insists upon them all being ahle to speak Russian well, so that they can explain the machinery and also chat and joke with with possible purchasers. That Is In Russia vastly important. More business is gained there by good-fellowship than anywhere else in the world. The Germans understand this well. They also realize that conditions vary in different districts und require io be carefully examined. "When an English traveler conies here," 1 was told in one town, "he seldom does much good, even if lie can speak Russian, which is unlikely. For he only stays a day or two, whereas German travelers settle down for several weeks, get to know everybody, and obtain a thorough graps of the market situation. If it pays a big business like that of Messrs. Mather & Piatt lo keep an office staff of nine in Moscow and another firm as famous as John Fowler s to circulate catalogues in Russian and Polish, surely smaller people with greater need of custom might follow such excellent examples. Much could be done, too, in this way; it should be the business of agents to persuade groups of small holders to buy big machinery (e.g., reapers, threshers, seed drills) between them. This is done In Canada and the United States. No doubt co-operation would be more difficult among Russians, who are extremely suspicious, hut the advantages of such a plan would soon become obvious. in big middling-sized machinery England keeps up pretty well. I went around, writes a e ^respondent, a number of yards where Importers laid their wares on show and found a comfortable percentage of good, homely English names. But, looking to the future, the prospect is cloudy. Al present a good deal of agricultural machinery enters Russia free. Bul there Is no doubl thai as soon as Hussla ran manufacture agricultural machinery tor herself In I any quantity a heavy duty will be | clapped on. And that time need met be tar distant, Blnce all over the country small factories ar springing up. As yet most of them only make small Implements, bul 1 went over one, an English one\ which was turning out a harvester every quarter of an hour. This factory has Increased Its output very largely In the last few years. What can English manufacturers do, then, to avoid being squeezed out of this market, which, during many years to come will become more and more profitable? A largo Polish landowner whom I visited supplied the answer. "Persuade your countrymen," he said, "to come to Poland and build factories. We do nol wanl tee buy from Germany, who treats her Polish subjects so badly. We are admirers and friends of England, and we should have more confidence in the shares of an English company than a company of our own. The peasantry are buying lands In all directions. Such an enterprise would certainly pay." As development proceeds ii Is highly probable that the manufacturers only who have works In Russia will retain the trade and others will he starved out.

The Old Canadian Statesman Records Himself us Against Reciprocity Agreement Sir Charles Tupper has replied to Hon. W. S. Fielding on the subject of reciprocity and in no uncertain way describes the action of the Laurier government. The letter of Sir Charles is as follows: The Mount, Bexley Heath, June 3, 1911 To the Honorable W. S. Fielding. Sir—1 have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of May 2 6. As you do not attempt to controvert the main portions of my letter, yours will require but little notice at my hands. Wilful Misstatements I charged with a wilful misstatement in interpolating in the quotation of my reference to the tariff you brought down the words "that is the Laurier government tariff," when you knew that owing to the injury which I proved it was inflict ing, you, a month afterwards, sub- stiuted another, saying, "I may say we are proposing a number of changes . . . We have desired to meot the views of manufacturers who complained they were severely affected by our resolutions. " But 1 need not waste words in proving what you still have the effrontery to deny, that having denounced our protective policy for years, you sold your principles and adopted our policy for the the sake of obtaining and retaining power. It is not yet forgotten that in the Laurier government tariff of 1897 you added a large increase to the tariff on goods coming from England before you proposed the illegal reduction of 12 1-2 per cent. You were forced to give the preference to Britisii goods, and as I have shown, have since used every means of impairing it until it is practically destroyed by your American agreement. Laurier's Bcnunciatioii No one questions the long continued efforts to obtain reciprocal trade with the United States, but when you and your colleagues spent six mouths with Lord Herschell at your head he bewailed his fate by saying to Mr. Pope, his private secretary, "Is it not too bad to waste nothing but a broken leg?" When, on your return, Sir Wilfrid Laurier denounced on the floor of parliament the action of the United States and expressed determination to abandon all such efforts, he was told by the opposition that the whole house would support him, and the standing offer of Canada was unanimously withdrawn. Under the policy then then pursued Canada obtained a position that excited the envy of the world. Her progress and prosperity were unequalled In any other country. Sir Wilfrid Laurier publicly proclaimed that no change in tariff would be made without being carefully considered by a commission. Pledges Violated Could anyone, under these circumstances, believe that you would not only, without any mandate, but In violation of the public pledges of the' government, go down to Washington and make a secret treaty with President Taft to revolutionize the trade between Canada and the United States? Your government stood pledged to the great Unionist party in Greal Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Soulh Africa to carry out a policy of mutual preferential trade, President Tail's Fears When the astounding fact is now avowed thai Mr. Tafl is pressing upon the Senate of the United State's! that unless this agreement is prompt- ratified, Greal Britain and her of the world. This is not a question of sentiment, and for my part I am firmly convinced that the economic interests of Canada lie with this continent, and it is on the broad basis of continental freedom of trade that I place the question." Duty to Cumuli! and Empire I am strengthened in the opinion that I have only discharged an imperative duty to Canada and the Empire in sending you my open letter of April by a letter from one of the most able members of the House of Commons who was present in 1897 and since, who says: "After carefully pursuing your admirable letter to Fielding, pray accept my warmest congratulations. Your analysis of the conditions and incidents to which he alluded in bis Montreal speech is searching and unanswerable, and your criticism exposes his record in the sinister light It most thoroughly deserves." Yours faithfully, CHARLES TOPPER, P. S.—I omitted to mention that after strong pressure from me, you largely increased the bounties on iron and steel. I hope you have noticed the declaration of Mr. Oliver, your colleague, at Boston, a few days ago, that your present tariff is one "high protection."

This Involves that we would offer to the American nation advantages denied lo the rest The well preserved skeleton of what appears to have been a dina- saur, 30 to 40 feet long, and 15 to 18 feet In height, has been found in the Palisades, opposite West 115th street. The authorities of the American Museum of Natural History said the discovery was the most interesting and important of its character, both from the popular and scientific viewpoint ever made eost of the Mississippi river. The information that such a skeleton had been entombed in the rock formation of which the Palisades are a part was far more startling to those at the museum, it was said, than it is likely to be to the public. Not a paleontologist at the museum, from President Henry Fairfield Osborne down, ever for a moment hoped to add to the museum's rich collection of dinosaurs, the skeleton of one of which almost beyond doubt has walked and browsed or fed on its prey where Broadway now is, and possibly over the site of the museum itslf. The grat barren chalk lands of the west have been the beds from which the fossils of these prehistoric rep- tils hav been taken. Scientists had evidence in the shape of tracks in the rocks that dinosaur once walked both shores of the Hudson, and frolicked over what is now Manhattan Island, but not so much as the fragment of a skeleton has been found before. The skeleton is of an animal which lived probably 10,000,000 years ago, and of had of course been living in the rock In which it is embedded ever since its death. It came first to the notice of a half dozen Columbia students recently while they were "geologizing" along the west bank of he Hudson under the Palissades. When the value of the discovery became certain the problem of getting possession of the rock In which the skeleton was encased and removing It to the museum was tackled. It would hav been impossible to chisel out the bones on the spot as the shale is wet near the surface and damp throughout with the result that the 10,000,000 year old bones would have disappeared the moment the stone was cut from above them. The entire block will have to be brought to the museum and dried out before much can be done toward getting the skeleton out, Tin. dinosaur was of tlie [Izard family, and Is described by Mr. Matthew as belonging to an order of fossil reptiles louud usually In rock of i he Mesozolc age containing some of tlie mosl wonderful land animals thai have ever lived. The dinosaur may be Bald to have been something of a cross between a crocodile and an ostrich on a greatly exaggerated scale, said the assistant curator, In habits the dinosaur wns most terrestrial and amphibious, and the structure of its tall in some cases indicates its size as swimming organ. Some were of graceful bird-like action, walking, running or leaping on their three- toed hind legs. Others were heavy, clumsy beasts, walking or crawling on their solidly built four legs. They grey to larger size than any other animals, which, so far as known, have ever Inhabited the earth in any of its periods. Some of them were from 07 to 70 feet long 20 feet high in natural position, and weighing 20 to 25 tons. Some were var- nlvorous, others herbivorous, the latter walking chiefly on two feet, with two undeveloped front feet like a Anheuser-Busch's ^Hr l 3UDWF.I3S Budweiser Its sale in many lands is due entirely and solely because of its surpassing Quality and Purity.

O'Connor Deals With the New Sovereign of the Empire. He Contrasts Him With His Late Father and Queen Victoria Mr. T. P. O'Connor gives the following sketch of King George V, which differentiates him from his father: An old courtier, writing for a publication of mine, and the old courtier is very close to the present and to the late king, suggests that King George is a reversion to type, and the type is the late Queen Victora. He certainly has neither the carelessness, the joy of life, nor the bo- bemian characteristics of his father, and already society in England, and especially certain sections of it have had plain and even painful experience of the change of mental attitude between the late and the present ruler. Like Queen Victoria, his favorite place is home; his family and wife engross all his affection. But this is only the beginning of the difference between the two men. The present king, as everybody knows, was not the original heir to the throne, and even in royalty the younger son suffers from the disabilities which the law of primogeniture inflicts on other of the higher classes. He never got the extraordinary complete education from certain points of view of his father. Probably one of the reasons is that Prince Albert was so different a parent from King Edward. Prince Albert was a thorough German,'and perhaps one might say, without flattery, a thoroughly good specimen of the finer qualities of the race. He had almost fierce respect for books and study; and the result is that perhaps the late king was over-educated, or at least overworked as a youngster. Anyhow, this brought him one immense advantage for the part he had after to play in the life of his country, and was one of the reasons why that part became so successful and so momentous. He never could have become the arbiter of Europe to the extent he did if he had not been able to speak to Frenchmen as If he were a Frenchman and to Germans as if he had been born In Germany. He spoke German, In fact, better than he did English. Germans who caught the tone of his conversation as they passed him by in the Curgar- ten of Marienbad used to say that not only was his diction perfect, but that the accent was equally so. On tlie other hand, the accent of King Edward in speaking English was as markedly German as if he had not been born at Windsor but at Sans Souci. It may be that the late king resented the severity of his early training. There was a story about him years ago, when he was still Prince of Wales, which would suggest that point of view. Charles Matthews, a celebrated English comedian, long since dead, was then playing with great success an adaption of one of the plays of Alexander Dumas, the younger. As everybody knows, the great Alexander Dumas, the father, was Ihe most jirodigal of men, and after making millions, died a pauper, while th son, also a maker of -millions, was thrifty almost to averlce, and the son fashioned a play on this piquant contrast called "La Pere Prodique." This Matthews translated Into "My Awful Dad," and all London went nightly for months lo see the conflict between the serious son and the frivolous father. It waB at that epoch that the Prince of Wales paid a visit to the splendid bul overgilt statue of his father in Kensington Gardens, and the gossips caught him saying, "My awful dad," and, needless to say, all London rang with the bon mot an hour afterwards. It will not be possible, then, for King George to be the actual foreign minister of England, as his father tried to he before him. He has not merely the want of the linguistic knowledge necessary for such a part but also lacks other and equally necessary qualities. His father was at horn anywhere. Though he was not a thinker nor a phrase maker, the late king was a past master In all small changes of social life. He could say a pleasant word if necessary to a hundred people In succession; he was never apparently bored; ho not only did not resent long and tedious ceremonials but he positively enjoyed them, and he such affability that he always left a pleasant impression. King George will never be able to exercise the social charm of his fa ther. He is a shyer man, he has not so much self-confidence, and, of course, he has not so much knowledge of the world. The late king, in the long years he was compelled to wait for succession, had met all sorts and conditions of men. He had moved like a private citizen through the great world of sport, a world which even in England is the most democratic that can be found, the curbstone peddler who has risen to be the gigantic bookmaker meeting on equal terms a duke of ancient descent and boundless acres and even the sovereign. King George, on the other hand, was rarely seen on a racecourse until he came to the throne, and it Is doubtful If he ever would have gone to a racecourse If his advisers had not told him that this was one of the functions In which an English king was bound to affect if he did not take an interest. For all these reasons King George will never be the popular social favorite that has father was. Nor will he ever be able to Imitate the ceaseless round of dinners in which has father took delight. He has a delicate digestion, while his father used to say that he was bound to be a great eater. His ancestors in Hanover were remarkable even there of his health, the care which he has always to take at the table, makes more ridiculous,the story which was popular some years ago, as popular as the story of the alleged marriage at Malta, that he is given to drink. The story wounded King George so much that he actual! ytook pains to deny it. Once it is said, when he was sitting for his portrait, he made laughingly the remark that if his nose was red it was from indigestion and not from drink. These things are all to his credit, but they are the kind of habits which make him unpopular with the small sa- ciety and the high and loose livers generally, and these are taking badly their eclusixon from the palace in which under the other conditions they were welcome and regular guests. On the other hand the vast mass of the country, which is serious and sober, rather like the change, and already people are beginning to say that the new regime is better than the old. In other points the king of today has advantages over him of yesterday. He is a much more traveled monarch for one thing. The late king knew the Continent perfectly, but this son knows the Empire still better. There is scarcely a country under its wide domain which he has not visited. This has made him to some extent suspected by Liberals. Imperialism has come to be, and under the influence of the high tariff party which Chamberlain brought back from the grave, preferential tariff between ngland and the colonies. Now, the Liberal party will never consent to even touch protection in any shape or form. To Liberals all tariffs are the unclean thing. On that point they are united to a man; It Is one of the convictions which they cannot admit to even the approach to a compromise. And therefore Liberals looked with some apprehension to the advent of an imperialist king. And the peril remains that if the high tariff party should ever come into power in England (there seems no posslbllty of that for the moment) they would find an ally in the king. On the other hand, King George is an Imperialist In the good as well as the bad sense of the word. He has seen self-government at work in all the dominions; he has seen the gigantic success in his own day of the extension of that principle to Soulh Africa, and therefore the pacification of Ireland would fit In well wiih his views with regard to the unification of the Empire. He has from the first moment made no concealment of his strong hope und desire that Ireland should be reconciled to England and to tho dynasty. I believe he was anxious at, the beginning of his reign that a royal residence should be established In Ireland, conscious of the neglect that his family and especially his grandmother had shown Irish sentiment. It would not have been a wise project for the time; it might have done more harm than good. The Irish people are not to be diverted from their resolution to have liberties embodied in an Irish parliament by sentimental concessions, and they would be more inclined to resent than to welcome a royal residence until it was the residence of a king ruling over a self-governed country. But the suggestion was a mark of good feeling. Of course, it would be an exaggeration to say that the king will carry home rule, but I have little doubt that when the decisive moment comes he will lend no countenance to the ^ -".■;: THE JOURNAL $2.00 a Year | Job Printing j If you want your printing handled expeditiously by thoroughly trained and ex perienced printers have it done at the Journal Office. fl THE JOURNAL $2.00 a Year ra extremist Orange policy of fighting out the questiou to the hitter end.

To be exact, the amount Is given ash (198,641,- 800. The capacity In horse power which has been developed amounts to a little over 2,000,000 horse power. In respect to capital Invested and the amount of horse power generated, Ontario leads, having over $84,000,000 of capital invested in that province and 801,000 horse power. Quebec comes second with $71,000,000 of capital Invested and 563,000 horse power. British Columbia is third and Manitoba fourth. The 2,000,000 horse power developed is but a small fraction of the total horse power availab'e in the Dominion of Canada, which has recently been estimated by the government officials at 25,682,907 CAPITAL, - $10,000,000 REST, - $7,000,000 DRAFTS ON FOREIGN COUNTRIES Every branch of The L-.tnadian Bank of Commerce is equipped to If' jc drafts on the principal cities in tha following" countries without dehiy : Africa Crefo Arabia .

PLAN GREAT WORKS The Indian Nines Limited on Salmon River is Promising Well With Depth. G. A. Clothier Has Small Force Work Until Roads Are Built "The Hidden Creek mine , on Goose Bay, Observatory inlet, in the northern part of British Columbia, has proved to be so much bigger and richer a property than we conceived when we took a bond on 80 per cent of its capital stock that wc have had to revolutionize our plans for the operation of our property," said .lay 1'. Craves, vice president and general manager of the Granby Consolidated .Mining and Smelting and Power Company, recently in Spokane. "When we took hold of the property our intention was to work it in connection with the Grand Forks smelter and to equip it with a small matting plant. This intention is definitely abandoned, but exactly how we shall equip and operate the prop- ery will not be determined for two or three months. This much is certain however, that any plant which Is erected to treat its ores wl'l have an intial capacity of not less than 2,000 tons a day. "Prior to the New York meeting of directors, at which it was decided take up our bond on the Hidden Creek, six engineers examined the property for us. Their reports showed from 6,000,000,000 to 12,000,- 000 tons of ore in sight. This proved it to be at least as big a property as our Phoenix mines and put the matter of handling its product at our Grand Forks plant entirely out of the question. "Most of our development work to date has been by means of diamond drills and this work we are following up, just as has been our custom at Phoenix, as rapidly as possible, with tunnels, drifts and crosscuts. "The best results we obtained came from diamond drill No. 19, 19, which showed an ore body 300 feet wide, which averaged more than G per cent in copper. "With a view to determining where the smelter will be located whether at the mine, Prince Rupert or some other point on the coast our consulting engineer, W. Y. Williams, now is in northern Britisii Columbia investigating the available ore supply from other mines in that section and Alaska. "In the meantime we are endeavoring to ascertain from the Tyee and Tacoma smelters what kind of contracts they are willing to enter into for the treatment of our Hidden Creek ore. If we can make satisfactory arrangements we may postpone the erection of our own plant for a year year or two. "The surprising results obtained from our development work to date is responsible for the purchase it the Rodgers interest, which We did not at first take under bond. Now, however, the entire property belongs to the Granby company. O. B. Smith, hitherto superintendent of our Phoenix mine, lias been appointed superintendent of the Hidden Creek mine, witli an assistant at each mine. "i expect to make another trip nortli in about a month's time, when Messrs. Williams, Sylvester and Smith will have accumulated a good .leal of data. It is possible that we may he enabled very soon therafter io determine, ai least roughly, what the policy of the company will be a lead stack to the copper smelter at Trail, B. C, which it had bought from F. Augustus Heinze, American ore buyers ceased to canvass that country. The restrictions imposed by the McKinley tariff bill had something to do with discouraging the importation into this country of Canadian lead to be smelted in bond and re-exported. Now, however, the native supply of lead ore, which Is not controlled by the trust smelters, is so inadequate to meet the independent smelters' needs, that another invasion of the Britisii Columbia field is being planned. Several Spokane people, who control silver-lead mines in British Columbia, lately have been approached hy agents of one or other of the Independent smelters in the United States, with offers to contract for their output, and one of the smelting concerns at least has undertaken to furnish a market for zinc as well as for lead. Ilritish Columbia mining men assert that the Canadian Pacific smelter at Trail, the on1 ■ lead smelter in Canada, has been e I urging execesslve rates for freight and treatment, besides gouging them outrageously on settlements, which are based on the London price for lead, less the alleged cost of putting the bullion in the London market. As a matter of fact, all the lead produced in Canada and a good deal more is consumed in that country; consequently, the mine owners think that settlement should be made on the wholesale price in Montreal, Instead of on the wholesale price in London. In order to try and bring about more equitable treatment by t he Trail smelter the Britisii Columbia mine owners are endeavoring to form an organization on the lines of a farmers' union, with the object of marketing the entire output of all the mines through one agent. American ore buyers are watching with a great deal of interest in the hope that they may be able to enter the Canadian market and capture the entire lead ore supply, which is not controlled, through ownership by the Trail smelter. The only extra cost to which an American smelter is put in treating bonded ores is the salary of a resident United States customs official, usually in the neighborhood of $200 per month. An effort now is being made to secure favorable freight rates. Beam made a number of trips to the Nugget. The present examination and sampling is being conducted by Walter H. Wiley of Los Angeles, one of the most eminent of American engineers. Mr. Beam organized the syndicate which took up the bond on the Nickle Plate mine at Hedley about two years ago, since when the property has proved one of the best paying mines in Canada. His entry into Sheep Creek is regarded by local mining men as of the greatest significance to the camp. SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT Dr Slocum Put on Scenic Travelogue at Empress Theatre SHOWING IS GOOD Granby Company Will Have Immense Reduction Works in North. lay P. Graves Tells of the Surprise Which Hidden Creek Gave Them At the Empress Theatre last even ing under the charge of Dr. Slocum, a very interesting series of moving pictures were <hown. The entertainment took tlie form of a travelogue, Dr. Slocuni acting as guide.. The pictures were taken by W. H. Har- beck and were a magnificent collection. It included a trip by the C. P. R. from Vancouver to Calgary with side trips into the 10I10 Valley and Banff. Another series gave the audience a visit to California, and another a trip with mountain climbers on Mount Rainier. Sir Wilfrid Laurier's reception at the different cities from Calgary to Victoria were included In the number and proved exceedingly interesting. The prominent citizens of Vancouver and Victoria were readily distinguishable. The reception by the provincial ministers at the dock at Victoria and the reception given by the lieutenant governor at Government House proved attractive, non. T. W. Paterson and Mrs. Paterson, with the distinguished company present were all easily identified in the crowd. Another attractive film was one brought right down to date. It was the coronation parade at Victoria. All who attended the two entertainments last night were delighted and the only lament was that they were not to be repeated. The programme takes two full hours to put on. Dr. Slocuni has managed to have Mr. Harbeck visit Prince Rupert. He will reach here next Saturday and will take a series of motion pictures here along the line of the G. T. P. as far as Hazelton and probably beyond. These will be shown later all over the world. o WATER EXTENSIONS Alii Hilditch and Aid. New ton "Mix' on Question ut Council Meeting REVIEWING COURTS (Continued From Page One) with reference to the erection smelter." of a WANT LEAD ORES ellers of the V, S. Seek From the Mines of B. ('. Mi-i'i Demands output .lo So great Is the demand for lead ores and concentrates on the part of American smelters that for the first time in several years owners of galena mines In southern Britisii Columbia are heing canvassed for ore e'ontracts, says a Spokane despatch. In the early 90s all of the lead ore produced in British Columbia was shipped to American smelters. At that time there was no lead trust and there was charp competition for ore supplies between all the principal competitors, which at that time included smelters at Everextt and Tacoma in Washington, Denver Omaha and Kansas City. Each of these plants usually had resident ore buyers in the Inland Empire, and some Of them mainlined local agencies In Ilritish Columbia. When the Canadian Pacific added G. A. Clothier spent several days at the Indian Mines, Ltd. property on Salmon River last week and Is very much encouraged with the development so far, says a Stewart correspondent. The cut under the big surface galena showing has just reached the ore at a depth of twenty- fice feet and the face is now in solid ore. The width of this ore body' will be proven at this depth with a crosscut. About 450 feet from this galena showing and about 200 feet vertically down the hill a tunnel is being driven. This is now In fifty feet, running through surface wash up to the last two rounds, when the vein was struck, and it will be a matter of only a few rounds until the whole face will be in the solid. Drifting will be continued in the vein to get under the galena mentioned above. Mr. Clothier could work many men on ibis property but on account of no horse trails and consequent difficulty in getting supplies in will not increase the present force of five men. BUYING AT SHEEP GREEK Syndicate That Controls Plate at Hedley Interested the Is Nickel That T. W.liter Beam of Denver, Col., who represents a syndicate of capitalists which holds a controlling interest in the Hedley Gold Mining Company, which operates the famous Nickel Plate mine, is in negotiations for the purchase of the Nugget Mine at Sheep Creek, is the anouncement made at Nelson. Mr. Beam has secured an option on the property until September 1 next and then If the examination and sampling of the mine which is now in progress proves satisfactory, the bond will be consummated for a sum in excess of any yet paid for a Sheep Creek mine. Before the option was taken Mr. The subject of an extension to the water system across Hays Creek came in before the council at last night's sitting. It arose in connection with a petition for water beyond the present, limits of the supply in the direction of Ambrose street. Aid. Hilditch thought if the water system was to be extended something like a systematic extension should be made so as to avoid waste. Aid. Douglas thought they should do ahead with this extension on Ambrose street. Aid. Hilditch said he did not believe there were six houses beyond Donald street. It was all very well to talk about extending the system but they should avoid wasting money. Aid. Newton contended that there were people moving to the outskirts because it was cheaper to ''ve there. These should be given fullei service. Aid. Douglas said he "substantiated" Aid. Newton. Aid. Hilditch said if the houses Aid. Newton had referred to were not supplied with water he would have been fighting for them. Aid. Newton was altogether wrong. The only building he saw below where water was supplied is the English Church, which is nearly all roof. It was referred to the water committee. "I don't see any sense in referring to the wisdom of Solomon," said the man smartly. "He had a thousand wive. "Yes," answered the woman tartly, "he learned his wisdom from them." o An Irishman was recently traveling a train accompanied by a minister, when two very stout old ladies entered the compartment. They placed themselves one on each side of Patrick, and he was much crushed between them. The minister, on see Pat so placed, said: "Are you quite comfortable, Pat?" To this question Pat quickly replied: "Sure, sorr, Oi haven't much room to complain." not favor making any difference. The men who were in the game were probably fined enough but the man who owned the premises got off free. He was going to find out how he was immune. The city solicitor pointed out that there was an information laid. The trouble was that there was not a tittle of evidence against him. That was the only reason why he had not been proceeded against. Aid. Clayton said he did not know the full facts of course but he did not propose to ha^e any one immune and who boasted he was solid with the authorities and could not be interfered with. H,s worship said that as far as this statement was concerned he would like to see the man that had any pull with the commissioners. He was not going to sit and take any insinuations such as Aid. Clayton threw out. He wanted any member of the council or any citizen who thought there was anything of the kind to produce the name of the party. He had publicly and privately instructed the police time and time again to see that the laws were lived up to. There was no one who was given protection in violating the law. These insinuations were not in good form. Aid. Clayton said he did not single out any single commissioner. He felt, however, that if the magistrate would not do his duty he should be dismissed. Aid. Newton said he would not mince matters. He did not charge anything against the commissioners. He would name Police Magistrate Carss. The police magistrate had no right to ask the chief of police why he brought these prosecutions without consulting him. Aid. Douglas believed the law was being violated by the hote's at present. It looked to him as if there was illegal selling. The city solicitor, being present, was asked to explain the situation. He said that there was no protection shown to any one. Under the Dominion act under which the informations were laid it was necessary for the chief of police, before a raid was made, to get the sanction of a police commissioner or the magistrate. This was not done by the chief and so he had exceeded the limits in that regard. Mr. Peters said he did not hear Magistrate Carss say anything about it. He might properly enough have called attention to this. The magistrate certainly did not reprimand the chief. Mr. Peters traced the history of the case, where the evidence Is very clear and the accused pleaded guilty. The one who was running the game was fined $50. He (Mr. Peters) had pressed for imprisonment and in his opinion such a punishment might well have been meted out. The magistrate saw difficulty, however. He was not there to say the magistrate was wrong. Those who had been in the place twice were fined $20 each and those who were shown to have been there but once got off with $15. These fines, he felt, were sufficient. As far as the case against the man who owned the house was concerned, there was no evidence that would convict him. It was decided to have the solicitor's report put in writing.

He was accompanied by Mrs. Smith and his cousin, Miss Smith, of Victoria, who is visiting at his home, and by his son Walter. The latter has remained at Hazelton for a few weeks. In spite of the fact that Mr. Smith has been identified with the Foley, Welch & Stewart Company with headquarters here for so long this was his first trip to the Interior. He has returned more than delighted with the country. Above Hazelton, he thinks there are great possibilities In a farming way. Some fear has been expressed that there would be summer frosts that would interfere with operations. Of these, Mr. Smith has no such fears. He thinks that all danger from these will pass with the clearing of the land and general cultivation. At the present time the country looks splendid with fields of hay and cereals.
