COUNCIL QUESTIONS
Much Time Occupied by Aldermen Discussing Subjects so Introduced.
The "Street Talk" Feature Made
Proniient nt Lust Night's
Sitting
The city council met last night,
with Aid. J. A. Kirkpatrick as acting mayor in the absence of Mayor
Manson. A good part of the evening was given over to questions and
answers, in which Aid. Newton played
a leading part. This proceeding was
started by Aid. Newton asking a
question as to why the city was filling in John Goodman's lots. He
gave as his reason later on for asking
the questions the somewhat stereotyped one that people on the streets
were asking the questions and he
wanted an answer. Later in the
evening Aid. Hllditch took a similar
course and on the strength of the
street reports asked as to the placing of insurance, which was explained by Aid. Newton. The two questions
took up about half the time of the
sitting.
Aid. Newton wanted to know why
the city had filled in John Goodman's lots. He had been asked the
question and did not know how to
answer it.
Aid. Hilditch explained that the
worlf was done as an accommodation
to the city. The arrangement was
made with Mr. Benson of the Atlantic Realty Company and had been
fully gone into earlier in the year.
By the arrangement the city was excused from building a high retaining
wall.
Aid. Douglas said he would explain. He had gone to Aid. Hilditch
and got one explanation. Mr. Benson gave another explanation, and
Aid. Kirkpatrick gave another.
Certain Aldermen
Aid. Hilditch, in making a further
IN FEDERAL POLITICS
he wanted to know why the insurance was taken from Aid. Pattullo,
who had been one to put up his good
money without interest in order to
buy the telephone for the city. He
wished to have it made clear what
the reasons were.
Aid. Newton said it would afford
him pleasure to deal with it. He
took full responsibility for the action. He moved that the insurance
go to Law & Butler and thhe Continental Trust Company. On looking into the insurance in the city
it was found that ex-Aid. Pattullo
and ex-Aid. Naden had a large share
of the insurance. Some other firms,
like M. M. Stephens and Peck &
Moore, had got some after new insurance was placed this year. The
two ex-aldermen seemed to have got
a very large slice of last year's insurance. He therefore had moved
to place it as indicated.
Aid. Hilditch thought Law & Butler had half the insurance on the
telephone building before. He did
not know that this firm took the
rest of the insurance. He would
like to hear just how the insurance
was placed.
The city clerk explained that the
insurance had been distributed by
giving Law & Butler the same as the
year before, and the rest had gone
to Mr. Deacon and the Continental
Trust Company.
It was finally decided to have a
report prepared showing how the city
insurance was divided.

Premier Asquith Contends That the
Course Pursued Was a Constitutional One
explanation of the matter, made reference to "certain aldermen who did
not know" and the amount of time
consumed in explaining these things.
Aid. Newton said that that was
the trouble, aldermen did not know.
He asked the question for this reason.
Aid. Hilditch explained the course
of the negotiations that had been
carried out and stated that all this
information could be obtained without coming to the council and taking
up time getting it.
Aid. Newton objected to these insinuations of Aid. Hllditch. He
further stated that if Hilditch only
knew half of what was being said
he would be glad of an opportunity
to explain these matters.
The original agreement was finally
read, when Aid. Newton said he did
not quite understand it, but there
was a "deal of talk" about this. He
would like to know if the arrangement was to the advantage of the
city. It was not to bother Aid. Hllditch that he asked these questions.
Aid. Kirkpatrick said the arrangement was certainly to the advantage
of the city.
Aid. Hilditch thought that if any
man, or even a child, were to go
down Eighth street he could see the
advantage of this. It was saving the
city thousands of dollars.
Aid. Smith pointed out that the
year before the lot was bought by
the city for the very purpose it was
being used.
Questioner Questioned
With the settlement of this question Aid. Hilditch introduced another
with reference to the placing of insurance. He wanted to know why
a certain property owner in the city
had been cut out from insurance by
the finance committee. The Insurance which he referred to was on
the telephone plant. There was talk
on the street and, like Aid. Newton,
he liked to he able to give an answer
to theBe. in this particular case

HOSPITAL FEES
Question Raised of Collecting From
City Employees for
Hospital Dues
The question of deducting $1 a
month from the men working on city
works and the turning of the proceeds over to the hospital to assure
all of these men hospital treatment
In case of sickness was brought up
by Aid. Hilditch last evening. Aid.
Hilditch favored some such move, as
it would ensure the men and save
the hospital and Indirectly the city
from loss. It would allow the men
affected a chance to have some funds
when they came out of the hospital
to be used during the convalescing
period instead of taking all that is
coming under the insurance system
to pay hospital fees.
Aid. Douglas thought this should
first be referred to the men.
The city solicitor pointed out difficulties in the way of doing as suggested unless the men were agreeable.
Aid. Hilditch thought it might he
incorporated in new contracts.
The matter was referred to the
city solicitor.
In connection with the same subject a report was presented during
the evening showing the standing of
the insurance on the city workmen.
There had been paid in by the city
$710.20. There had been paid out
on account of claims $461.14 and
there were claims for $200 more now

will not accept nomination for Comox-Atlin. It la, moreover, very unlikely that he will retire from provincial politics at present. While
there has been strong pressure
brought to bear upon him to enter

been an attempt made to induce him

Thursday afternoon, this enjoyable

A laundry and wash-house bylaw
is to be introduced into the city
council by Aid. Hilditch. It will be
prepared by the city solicitor along
the line of those adopted in other
citieB having for its object the forcing of Chinese who open wash-houses
to keep their places clean and conform more to the rules observed in
white laundries. It Is proposed also
to limit the location of laundries and
wash-houses in the future. A decision last night was reached to make
blocks 41 and 42 section 5, the location. This Is close to the restricted
area on Comox avenue. The rule
will not apply to places already doing
business.
Aid. Hilditch in his notice of motion last night designated blocks 41
to 4 6, section a, as the location for
laundries and wash-houses.
Aid. Smith wanted to know if this
would apply to steam laundries. •
Aid. Hilditch said it would apply
to any built in future. It would not
apply to those now in existence.
Aid. Douglas objected to making
that a laundry district.
Aid. Hilditch said he did not care
where it went. If there was any
other site more suitable he would
accept the suggestion. He explained
that his action was taken now because there was an application in for
permission to build a Chinese wash-
house on Fifth avenue where one had
burned down before. The bylaw was
introduced to prevent the erection
of Chinese wash-houses in the residential quarters.
A reference to the map of the city
resulted in the selection of the site
suggested, but with the creation of
a smaller district; namely, two blocks
instead of six.
It was suggested by the solicitor
that the bylaw should he made comprehensive and cover the buildings
us well, reference being made to
floors, etc., and the disposal of
water.
This was agreed to and will he
included in the bylaw.
F. E. Cowell, who has valuable
holdings in the Lakelse Valley, has
arrived in the city with a practical
demonstration of what the Lakelse
will produce. He has several stalks
of wl'd grass which were growing in
a wild state in the rich bottom lands
in the val'ey. The grass brought to
the city by Mr. Cowell showed a
height of seven feet six inches.
While Mr. Cowell does not pretend that this seven foot grass is
the ordinary growth in the valley yet
it grows so luxuriantly that a man
is hidden among it. Occasional
shoots are found equal to or nearly
approaching the ones he cut.
The grass is a wonderful advertisement as to the productiveness of
that part of the province. Any land
that will produce such a rrowth of
vegetation is certainly among the
favored spots of the earth.
o
Advanced Pay
On the report of the finance committee it was decided last evening
to increase the pay of the sanitary
inspector, who has many other duties to perform, to $90 from January
1 and to $100 from July 1.
o
Oppose Reciprocity
Among the visitors to Prince Rupert this week was John L. Beek-
with, a Victoria traveller. Mr. Beck-
with has just returned from a trip
to the east and says that there is
a remarkably strong feeling there
against reciprocity. Even on the
prairies there is a strong wave opposed to the pact proposed to be
entered into. The Liberals havf
tried in various ways to overcome
the feeling against the move in Its
own party. D. C. Cameron if Winnipeg, one of the most pronounced
opponents, is now made lieutenant
governor of the province in succession to Sir Danied McMillan in order,
it is fully believed, to keep down his
active opposition.

ON TUBERCULOSIS
Inquiries Into the Various Forms Which
are Net With Among
Animals.
Information Derived From Investigation Into the Whole
Subject
Tlie final reporl of the British
royal commission appointed to inquire into tlie transmission of tuberculosis and other aspects of tlie ills-
ease was issued two weeks ago. The
commissioners hold thai tlie human
and bovine types are two varieties
of the same bacillus, anil the le'sinns
which they produce are manifestations of ihe same' disease. Important recommendations on ihe subject
of ihe public milk supply are contained in the report, the government
being urged to enforce feuul regulations to afford better security against,
the infection of human beings
through articles of diet derived from
tuberculosis animals.
Tlie commission was appointed to
investigate the following questions:
Whether the disease in animals
and man is one and the same.
Whether animals and man can be
reciprocally infected with it.
Under what conditions, if at all,
the transmission of the disease from
animals to man takes place, and
what are the circumstances favorable or unfavorable to such transmission.
The com missioners state that for
purposes of description it is advisable to distinguish three types of
tubercle bacilli, having individual
characters—the human, bovine, and
avian types. The commission has
therefore attempted to answer the
above questions by studying these
three types of the disease in animals and in man as it occurs naturally
as well as when produced by experiments.
In the three interim reports presented during the investigations, the
commission presented earlier results
as they were arrived at, and it now
shows In the final report how far
the total results afford replies to
the questions to he investigated.
In regard to the first question the
commission concludes that the human and bovine types are two varieties of the same bacillus, and the
lesions which they produce, whether
in man or in other animals, are manifestations of the same disease.
This conclusion was deduced from
the following observations: The
chief difference Detween bovine and
human bacilli is the difference of
virulence towards certain animals,
but in many animals a fatal issue
results in both cases, notably in
guinea pigs, chimpanzees, and other
monkeys. While as a rule the human bacilli present a greater luxuriance of growth than those of the
bovine type, the gap between tlie
two varieties, and in certain instances, Is very small indeed.
Human and bovine bacilli are
"morphologically indistinguishable"
—that is, they have taken the same
form. Note must be taken, too, of
the exceptional characters of bacilli
isolated from lupus and equine tuberculosis, which' combine features
of both types. There would remain,
therefore, only slight cultured differences for making the two types distinct organisms.
The commission states that there
is not sufficient ground, however,
for asserting that the avian and human types are one and the same disease.
Dealing with the second question,
the commission concludes that, excluding fowl and other birds from
the reply, mammals and men can be
reciprocally infected with tuberculosis. Many cases of fatal tubercu
losis have been produced in the hu
man subject by the bacillus known
to produce the disease in cattle. Pigs.
on the other hand, are capable of
harboring, if not encouraging, the
human and avian tubercle. The
chimpanzee, one of the mamals most
resembling man, is susceptible to
both bovine and human types, but re.
sists attempts to Inoculate the avian
type.
The report adds that it is extreme
ly Important to bear In mind that the
pulmonary form of the disease in
man can sometimes be caused by the
bovine bacilli.
Discussing possible sources of In.
fection, tbe commissioners say it may
be asked in what way are children,
who are especially liable to exhibit
acme fatal tuberculosis as an ab
douiinal affection, most likely to obtain a large and fatally infective
dose of tubercle bacilli? To this
question there can he put but one
answer.
"The evidence wliicn we have ac
cumulated goes to demonstrate that
a considerable amount of the tuber
culosls of childhood is to be ascribed tee Infection with bacilli of the
bovine type transmitted in meals
largely consisting of the milk of the
cow. In many cases of abdominal
tuberculosis and in tuberculosis of
the cervical gland the child may be
injured through the milk without
fatal results. In all cases of the
cervical gland tuberculosis investigated by the commissioners the patients had recovered or were recovering after operation."
"In the interests of infants and
children," the report proceeds, "the
members of the population whom we
have proved to be specially endangered, and for the reasonable safeguarding of the public health generally, we would urge that existing
regulations and the supervision of
milk production and meat preparation be not relaxed; that, on the
contrary, the government should
cause to ben enforced throughout
the kingdom food regulations planned to afford better securityf against
the infection of human being
through the medium of articles of
diet derived from tuberculosis animals. More particularly, we would
urge action in this sense in order
to avert or minimise the present danger arising from the consumption of
infected milk."
The commissioners state in conclusion: "We are convinced that measures for securing the prevention of
the injection of living bovine tubercle bacilli with milk would greatly
reduce the number of cases of abdominal and cervical gland tuberculosis of children, and that such measures should include the exclusion of
the milk of the recognizably tuberculous cow, irrespective of the site
of the disease, .whether in the udder
or in the internal organs."

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL
IMMIGRATION FRAUDS
T. R. G. Mclnnes Goes Very Fully Into
the Whole Question in Letter
to Press.
He Replies to the Finding of Mr.
Justice Murphy and Tells of
Whitewashing
In a letter to the Montreal Star,
T. R. E. Mclnnes replies at length
to the findings made by Mr. Justice
Murphy on Chinese smuggling. He
Bays:
Sir—On Saturday you published
the findings of Mr. Justice Murphy
of Vancouver, who sat as a commissioner to Inquire into Chinese immigration and opium smuggling in British Columbia. My reputation is at
stake in this matter, and 1 now ask
you to give equal prominence to what
I have to say in reply to this honorable judge.
I make four charges: (1) I say
that the first four statements or findings made by this commissioner in
summing up his report are irrelevant; (2) I say that the Dominion
government permitted Hie fraudulent
entry of Chinese to continue without
any attempt at prevention for at
least two years after its attention
had been formally drawn thereto;
(3) I say that the Dominion government deliberately delayed criminal
proceedings against the guilty Chinese indicated by its own commissioner, Judge .Murphy, for two
months In order to allow them to
escape from justice; (4) I say that
If Sir Wilfrid Laurier, when replying to Mr. Borden in the House on
Friday, meant me when he said:
"The only person not a Chinaman
who was suspected was not appointed
by this government," then Sir Wilfrid Laurier did not speak by the
book.
I will deal with this last charge
first, and the .doing so involves the
whole question of my connection
with the government. In August,
1907, the Indians of the Garden River reservation iu Algoma were being debauched by American whisky
sellers, operating on Sugar Island in
the State of Michigan, just across
the river from the Canadian reservation. Members of parliament, priests
and missionaries were asking the
government to do something in the
matter, but as the whisky sellers
were on American territory and the
Canadian Indians crossed the river
to them, the situation was difficult.
Neither under U. S. federal or state
laws was it unlawful to sell liquor
to a Canadian Ionian on American
territory; and so the offenders felt
secure. My services were asked by
the Indian department. As a result,
inside of a month the offenders were
arrested, convicted of something, and
jailed in .Michigan.
In the following month the Chinese riots occurred in Vancouver,
and Hon. Frank Oliver, mindful perhaps of my Michigan success, asked
me to go to Vancouver, to report on
the situation, and advise as to what
should be done. I returned in three
weeks with a report which anticipated the later finding of Mackenzie
King. My report was acted upon,
and copies were sent to tlie Imperial
government and to the government
of India. Two months later, owing
to the activities of the Asiatic Exclusion League, and the fear of renewed
riots, Sir Wilfrid Laurier wrote a
note to Mr. Oliver.giving it to me to
take to him, asking that I be sent
again to the coast, nominally for
the immigration department, in reality to attempt to check a dangerous
situation, and to be on hand to advise if emergencies arose. I was
there all winter. The riots threatened and actually planned in Seattle
wgre averted. To Gordon Grant,
president at the time of the Asiatic
Exclusion League, the credit for this
Is largely due. His sense of loalty
was awakened when he was shown
what was being planned by American
agitators, and what the success of
their plot would mean to Canadian
and Imperial interests. This Is the
Mr. Grant upon whom Commissioner
Murphy throws a slur in the third
paragraph of the summary of his
report.
The next summer, I acted as adviser to all the Chinese of Vancouver
in preparing their damage claims
for consideration by Mackenzie
King, special commissioner to assess
damages in connection with the September riots. On this occasion, I
talked with Owyang King, then Chinese consul at San Francisco, and
Tung Chlng Ling, attache of the Chinese embassy at London, as to future relations between Canada and
China and the chance of developing
a large trade between the two countries, the profits of which would
tend to overcome race antagonism.
At that time there was no Canadian
trade commissioner in China.I :::id
many Chinese clients, and a knowledge of local Chinese customs u;:d
business methods. I sent in a report either to the trade and commerce department or the interior department, I forget which, but dealing with the whole question of developing Canada's trade with China
and urging the appointment of Canadian commissioners at Canton,
Shanghai and Tien Tsin. I discussed
the matter with Mackenzie King, and
he heartily approved, and promised
his support if I wanted the position.
Many strong recommendations were
made on my behalf. The government
adopted the suggestions in my report so far as to establish an office
at Shanghai, but appointed the late
Mr. MacLean Instead of me.
After Mr. MacLean's death, which
occurred In the following September,
Mr. O'Hara telephoned for me, and
asked If I were still open for the
position. I replied that I was, and
would be willing to go in February,
after I had finished my first draft
of a new immigration act, which I
had been retained by Mr. Oliver to
prepare. A recommendation to council was prepared accordingly, and
signed by Sir Richard Cartwright.
The appointment, however, was
blocked by Mr. Templeman. That
ended the matter. I never sought
the position after that, because Mr.
Templeman had unwittingly done me
a good turn; remaining in Canada
proved vastly to my advantage. From
time to time after that I had a retainer from the government for special services. Among them was the
drawing of the new Immigration Act
referred to. This involved observation of the methods actually practised by American and Canadian officers at seaports and on the boundary.
Now it. happened that the Hon. Frank
Oliver, in September, 1908, feared
something in Alberta on the part of
the Conservatives which he called
"skullduggery." The general elections were on at the time, and he
asked me to go to Calgary and vicinity on a still hunt for this "skullduggery." Up to this time my services had been absolutely non-political, and Oliver knew that I had
no more respect for one side than for
the other. He did know, however,
that I generally got results worth
while in any matter which I undertook. I found to my surprise, however, that he did not propose to
pay my fee from any party fund, but
that I was to go on political service
at government expense, to cover
which I was to make a report on
immigration matters. This was not
much to my stomach, but in connec
tion with the act upon which I was
working I wanted to observe the official immigration machinei between
Winnipeg and Vancouver, particularly along the Britisii Columbia border and at Seattle. I did, however,
throw an eye over political methods
at Calgary and vicinity for about
ten days, becoming satisfied that
honest voting was the style there,
and that anything in the nature of
"skullduggery" was more to be apprehended from the Liberals than
from the Conservatives. This I told
to the Hon. Frank, and left him to
go about my proper business.
On December 10 1908, I sent In
a report to Mr. Oliver, covering my
observations on this trip, and making certain recommendations. It
was during this visit to the coast
that I first paid any particular attention to the smuggling of Chinese
Immigrants. In drafting my Immigration Act, I wished it to apply
equally to Chinese, considering that
there should be but one Immigration
Act, designed to apply equally to all
classes of immigrants, and administered by one department. As far
aB I remember, however, I made no
written report then as to this smuggling, wishing to make a fuller investigation later on. But a year before that time 1 am told that Officer Busby of the customs department,
had noticed and reported upon these
frauds, but, to put It mildly, was
not encouraged to disclose anything
further In that line.
Well a year later, November 10,
1909, I made another report to Mr.

Tuesday, August 8, 1911.
the United States, the reversal of
the imperial preference doctrine
have changed all this. They who
have been silent on political questions are speaking out. Some who
have supported the government on
business grounds can do so no longer.
Less ardent Conservatives who gave
a silent vote, or cast uncertain ballots according to personal preference
or local issues, are now outspoken.
This is a contest-in which many
new voices will be heard, and many
will speak more Impressively than
ever before.
Illi: IMPENDING CONTEST
The election now pending will be'
less distinctly a party struggle than
those of recent years. While Hie
leaders are the same us tliree years
ago, the chief issue is new. In 1908
Sir Wilfrid Laurier assured the people that reciprocity was no longer
soughi or desired by Canada, and
that '.iu- government was promoting
c'oser trade relations with the Empire, says the News-Advertiser. Today we find the government returning toward the programme of twenty
years asu, which the people rejected
with scorn in 1SS7 and 1891. On
this ousolete policy the premier Is
appealing to the obsolete constituencies.
A purely party struggle for office
and patronage does not greatly interest the average man of business,
unless lie has a natural liking for
politics for its own sake. There are
many professional men, especially
preachers and teachers, who do not
concern themselves much with the
political game. But these and others
who have lookea upon elections as
an entertainment for politically disposed persons, find their attention
earnestly attracted to the issue now
before the county. It is not a mere
fight between the ins and the outs.
A great national and imperial issue
is pending. President Taft has told
us one solemn truth. Canada is at
the parting of the ways.
It is no small thing which drove
Mr. Sifton, Mr. German and Mr.
Lloyd Harris, all Liberal members,
and one of them a former minister,
to resist the government policy in
the House of Commons. Only a departure of the gravest moment
would have driven eighteen leading
Liberal business men of Ontario to
issue their protest against the treaty
and to organize a league to oppose
it. Again we point out that one of
these Libera's is president of the
Toronto Board of Trade, and three
others have held that office; that
one has been deputy minister of justices, and one lieutenant governor
of Ontario. One has been, or is now,
president of the second largest bank
in Canada, and others are known
to trade and industry throughout
Canada. Among others who have
raised their voice against reciprocity,
is the last Liberal premier of Ontario, now a senator of Canada.
Mr, Sifton has made an appeal to
the Canadian Clubs. There are many
loyal and national societies which
will find it impossible to be neutral!
with the reciprocity issue before the
country. Many persons whose position and professional relations cause
them to withdraw from political controversy find it wrong to keep silent'
In this emergency, and Impossible to |
refrain from a protest by ballot.
A fair share of the leaders in business In the commercial, industrial i
and financial centres have until now
given tlie Laurier administration j
their support. They took notice of,
the fact that the government did not. j
destroy the national policy. They
found that unrestricted reciprocity
and commercial union were dropped.)
They observed that the government |
was going forward with the develop-1
ment of ihe west and continued the
policy of railway development even
to the limit of recklessness. It is
well known that manufacturers, railway builders and contractors have
nol left, ministers without campaign
funds. Bul the suilili'ii change of
programme and the restoration of
the- eiid policy of entanglement with

THE CALL TO ARMS
It is thirty-three years since we
had a September election in Canada.
The last time was in 1878, when a
Liberal government went to the country with high hopes and its opponents achieved one of the most decisive victories in the politics of the
Dominion, says the Edmonton Journal.
The date of the voting in that year
was on September 17, four days
earlier than that which Sir Wilfrid
Laurier and his colleagues have now
picked upon. Will history repeat
itself?
The situation then and now offers
another parallel. It was a trade issue which brought about the defeat
of the government in 1878. It
thought that its fiscal policy was so
completely in line with public sentiment that the possibility of defeat
was never suggested. The Laurier
administration challenges a popular
verdict with undoubted self-confidence. If it did not think that it
could win out, there would of course
be no premature dissolution. But
its leaders and its newspapers do not
speak half as vauntingly as did their
predecessors a third of a century ago.
Pride has many a time gone before destruction and a haughty spirit
before its fall. Such was certainly
the case with the Mackenzie government and it will as surely be so with
that which as occupied the place of
power since 1896.
Sir John A. .Macdonald raised the
banner of economic independence.
Mr. Borden is doing the same. The
same forces that made victory for
the old leader are bound to come
to the support of the man who now
wears his mantle.
But the latter's task is rendered
less dififcult for another reason. Mr.
.Mackenzie's government had been in
powev but four and a half years. Sir
Wilfrid's for over fifteen. Where
the one had given exceptionally honest and businesslike administration
and was in the full flush of vigor and
youth, the other has all the weaknesses of a long tenure of office, with
the Inevitable record of departmental scandal and of internal fueds to
contend with.
If ever a time was ripe for a Conservative victory, It Is the present
and In the testimony of both the
present and the past the party should
find everything to encourage It to
go into the fray with courage nnd
confidence. The cause which it is
championing Is one that must appeal
to all who have the future welfare
of the country at heart. It is a vast
responsibility which is committed to
those who are citizens of Canada at
the present moment. On the verdict
which they render the course which
the enormous development in prospect for us is to take will very largely
depend.
It is no ordinary feeling of partisan loyalty, therefore, which
should inspire those who will rally
in the course of the next few weeks
to the support of the men who are
leading the onslaught on the forces
that have too long held the reins of
authority.
[EMIT DUTY
Government Allows Coal From U. S.
to t'onie in Free to Overcome
Effects of Strike
That the efforts of the various
boards of trade, business en's associations and labor organizations In
ihe province of Alberta to bring
about a remission of the Canadian
customs duties on coal imported
from the United States have been
productive of results Is evidenced by
the fact that an order in council
has been passed suspending all duties on coal for a period of two
weeks.
The news of the action of the government was contained in a telegram
received by Hon. C. R. Mitchell, attorney general and acting premier of
the province. The telegram follows:
Ottawa, Oont., Aug. 1. 1911—Hon.
C. R. Mitchell, Acting Premier, Alberta, Edmonton, Alta.—The federal
government has passed an order in
council authorizing the remission of
duties on coal importated into Alberta on and after August 7, provided work is not resumed at the mines
by that date; such remission of duties to continue for a period of two
weeks after the enactment of a further order which' may be passed by
the governor In council, revoking the
present order, and which it is the
intention of the government to pass
as soon as in the judgment of the
governor in council mining operations have been sufficiently resumed
to meet public requirements.

Wrecked on Island
After a very narrow escape from
drowning Austin Brown of this city
has returned from a prospecting tour
on the west coast of Graham Island.
With Henry Edenshaw, Matthew
Youmans and a young son of Mr.
Edenshaw, Mr. Brown was caught
in rough weather off the west coast
of the island. They were caught
in an open boat, which could not
live in the surf encountered. The
boat capsized but fortunately the
force of the waves threw them all
landwards and they managed by holding too the boat to reach shore.

NEW WESTMINSTER—The first
British Columbia section of the Canadian portion of the Pacific highway
has been formally opened, and F. J.
McKenzie, M. P. P.; Government
Agent Fletcher and Alderman Bry-
son had the distinction of travelling
in the first automobile over the new
road. It was regretted that John
Sprott, road superintendent, who had
taken such an active interest in the
construction of the new road, and
who was looking forward to being
one of the first to travel over it, was
unable to be present on account cf
ill-health. The party left New Westminster, and went over the highway
to the highest point, where they j
were met by another automobile
from Blaine, bearing Harry Lytton,
a prominent citizen of Blaine, who
had worked hard for the building of
the Pacific Highway; H. W. Sheets,
editor and proprietor of the Blaine
Journal, and A. Broe, a photographer. Perhaps one of the happiest
of the party was Mr. McKenzie, who
has supervised the work on the road.

The section of the road opened yesterday is nineteen miles long, and
the $35,000 appropriated by the provincial government has all been
spent, grading and clearing it to the
full width of forty feet. Since May
1, five camps have been at work,
including about six or eight teams
of horses and twenty men. The road,
having been all graded and cleared,
the government is now preparing to
macadamize it, and by next year
there will be one of the finest roads
from Vancouver to tbe United States
boundary that exists anywhere.
TRAINING TEACHERS
VICTORIA—One has only to visit
the camp outside Work Point barracks to see some of the benefits
the school teachers have obtained
from their month's course of training for the cadet instructors' course.
Bronzed and smiling faces, brawny
limbs, and a generally soldierly and
alert appearance tell their own story,
says the Colonist. Such results
were confirmed by conversation with
the twenty-one volunteers taking
part, who have come from public
schools in all parts of the province
and have derived must enjoyment as
they have knowledge from their first
experience of military life. They
have been encamped since July 4,
and every day since then have gone
through a regular and systematic
course of military training to prepare
them for their practical and theoretical examinations for Hie cadet in-

JOLLIFFE WAS IN
The steam tug William Jolliffe of
the B. C. Salvage Company at Esquimalt was in port on Sunday night.
She is doing fishery patrol duty
while the steamer Kestrel is being
overhauled. Captain Newcomb is on
board her representing the Dominion government and directing the
course of the vessel.
BID CAPTAIN FAREWELL
When the Princess Beatrice visited
port last week Captain Locke, formerly master of the Amur, was In
command. Captain Whiteley, who
has just left the steamer was very
popular. He has taken up his work
as a Victoria pilot. When the steamer reached the wharf at Victoria on
her last trip, under command of
Captain Whiteley, he was summoned
to the saloon, where the ship's company had gathered, and Chief Officer J. Shaw presented him with a
gold mounted umbrella, accompanied
by an illuminated address signed by
all hands, from chief officer to cabin
boy, congratulating the piaster on
his appointment and expressing regret that he was leaving the steamer
where he was so well liked by all
hands.
SEALING AGREEMENT
The Algerine lias not been instructed lo order the Victoria sealing
schooners.! essie, Pescawha, Thomas
F. Bayard and Lady Mines back from
Bering Sea lor the new pelagic sealing agreement is not to come into
force until netx spring. This means
that the schooners will complete the
present season in Bering Sea, wliere
36 Japanese sealers will also work.
No word has yet been received
from Ottawa regarding arrangement
for the compensation of the local
sealers, whose claims, as a result of
the stoppage of the industry, amount
to in the neighborhood of $500,000,
which is a small portion of the
amount which the Canadian government, will receive as a result of the
arrangement,
With the coming into force of the
agreement next spring clearances
will be refused to all sealers to operate north of the 35th parallel of
north latitude in the Pacific, but the
work of the hunters off Cape Horn
and in the south seas will not be
interfered wiiee.
The Japanese government will he-
gin the killing of seals ashore at
Robben bank, or as the Japanese re-
christened this place after its capture from the Russians, Arazashi
Islet, in April next. Since the Japanese took over this rookery it has
been carefully protected, the old
cruiser Musashi being ordered to patrol the nearby seas and a guard
equipped with a field gun has been
stationed there. Seals have increased as a result of this protection and
the total number there is estimated
at 6,000. Arrangements will be made
by a Japanese commossion as soon
as Messrs. Dauke and Kitahara arrive home via Siberia from Washington as to the number of seals to be
killed yearly, and Canada is to receive 20 per cent of tlie gross proceeds under the arrangement.
FLOATING CANNERY
The ship Glory of the Seas, which
went through troublous times early
this year and eventually appeared as
a bone of contention in the admiralty
court, has taken on another phase
of activity and is now reported as
a successful vessel engaged as a floating cannery In northern waters.
From Juneau, Alaska, a despatch
says that the Glory of the Seas Is
pursuing a triumphant course, with
all sails set, in the wake of king
and other varieties of salmon, canning the salmon as they are caught.
The Glory of the Seas lay in Esquimalt harbor for some months pending the hearing of a libel suit
brought by the former crew In the
admiralty court for wages due for a
cruise in the norlh. The former
owner did not oppose the suit, but
consented to the sale of the ship and
the use of the money to discharge
the debts. The sale resulted in the
payment of all dues and the large
ship then passed into the hands of
a Seattle firm, who were represented
at the sale by J. C. Johnston of Seattle. She was taken to Seattle and
commissioned, and sailed l'roih that
port to the salmon fisheries. In northern waters she Is moving from
p'ace to place in accordance with the
migration of the various varieties of
salmon, and is reported a tremendous success as a floating cannery.
By canning the fish the day they
are caught and b keeping in the wake
of the moving sockeyes. etc., It is
believed by her captain that he will
be able to operate for a much longer
season that the plans which are established upon the shore.

WICKERSHAM AFFAIR
House Committee Reports Evidence
Taken in Connection Witli Alaska
Delegate's Charges
Following general charges and denials between the two Wickershams
of the government—the attorney general and the delegate from Alaska—
the house committee on judiciary decided that it had no power to do
anything but report the vldence to
the house, says a Washington despatch. It will report Delegate
Wickershani's resolution, calling on
the attorney general to furnish all
the papers and data bearing on the
alleged frauds in connection with
government coal contracts. The committee will not recommend that the
house investigate Delegate Wicker-
sham's charges that Attorney General Wickershaiu has shielded and
protected Alaska "syndicate criminals."
In a hearing enlivened with fre-
(liient and bitter clashes between the
two Wickershams, it developed that
the delegate from Alaska had offered
his legal services in 1908 to the Guggenheim interests in the Northwestern Commercial Company for a salary of $15,000 a year and the main-
Seattle, the proposal being made in
reply to an offer by the Guggenheims.
The Alaska delegate renewed his
statements that the attorney general
had shielded and protected lawbreakers who represented the Guggenheim interests in Alaska. Members of the judiciary committee frequently called on him to prove statements he made, and in some cases
challenged the sufficiency of his
proof.
Attorney General Wickersham declared that the charges of the Alaskan delegate called for vigorous denial from the fovernment officials.

! LIFE AND DEATH !
* *
lie *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Dr. Andrew Wilson writes an interesting article on the two great
mysteries of life and death. He says:
It is only repeating a truism to
assert that death divides the Interest
of life with birth and development,
therefore it Is not surprising to find
that the subject of death has always
occupied a very large place in the
literature both of scientific and of
ordinary kind. The topic, besides
is many sided. Scientifically, we are
interested in the causes and manner
of death, and in the phenomena
which accompany the flickerings of
the lamp of life. Theologians devote
their energies to discussions regarding the nature of the existence after
death which nearly all religious systems postulate. A third body seeks
to penetrate the veil which hids the
beyond from us, and to establish evidence that communication between
the living and the sentient dead, if
1 may so term the "intermediate"
state which is theoretically set forth,
Is not only a possibility hut an actuality. There are others who deal
with the subject after their own
Ideas and fashions, but of all the
episodes which dying and death include, the two first mentioned hold
deepest sway over mankind. What
death really means physically, or, as
the theologian would say, spiritually,
are the special phases of thought that
engage the attention of humanity.
I have been perusing a bulky volume entitled, "Death: Its Causes and
Phenomena," by Hereward Carring-
ton and Jonn R. Meader, and the
perusal has served once more to demonstrate to me how hopeless Is all
our searching after the exact nature
of death itself—its intimate causation, I mean—and how equally futile is the search after direct evidence
(I do not refer to religious faith)
regarding the state or phrase of existence, if such there be, which supervene when we have crossed "the
bourne from which no traveller returns." People often neglect to note
that death and life are conipleniental
mysteries. To the question "What
Is Life?" no definite reply can be
returned; simi arly to th e query
"What, is Deaili?" we can only reply
"the cessation of life," which leaves
the problem exactly where we found
it. I do not get any help from
Messrs. Carringthon and Meader's
book. It is bulky, discursive and
wanders over and around every conceivable subject, from the signs of
death to descriptions of death "beyond the veil." We read of accounts
given by "spirits" concerning the
"process of dying" (and after).
We even find photographs of
bodies taken after death with mystical globes of light and other luminous manifestations appearing around
the body. We have a section devoted to "Photographing and Weighing

the Soul," and so forth; and from
such derails it may be gathered that
the book, like the sheep's head of
Scot's repast, provides "a mass of
fine confused feeding." It is very
doubtful, however, whether the intellectual nourishment to be gained
by a perusal of this book on "Death"
really compensates for the labor of
travelling through its pages. It
stands as a discursive work, composed of all kinds of opinions and testimonies, collated with a very big
sweep of the net, indeed, in contradistinction to the works, say, of
Myers. He wrote with a philosophical mind, and his unbiassed sittings
of the evidence left him (as regards
the question of the power of communicating with the dead, at least)
as it leaves us all, as ignorant of the
state "beyond the veil" as were the
first men who essayed to solve the
problem of the hereafter.
Mr. Carrington has, of course, his
own theory of the nature of the
death. We are not any wiser when
we have mastered his hypothesis. He
conceives that "raising the dead" is
a phenomenon which might be far
more frequently represented if the
"laws of life were more thoroughly
understood." Which is as much as
to say that as we do not know the
so-ca'led "laws of life," an expres
sion I take to mean that "nature of
life," so we cannot tell what death
really is. Mr. Carrington, I fear
must be regarded as hopeless from
the scientific point of view, for we
find him asking why, "on the materialistic theory," whatever that may
mean, "stoppage of the heart, or its
emptying of blood, should cause sudden death?" The only answer is that
the circulation of blood is a condition
of life's 'maintenance, and that living
tissue can only exist through constant nourishment. This answer
should suffice for any reasonable
soul. What might be a sensible
question would be that which inquired why life, in high and low
spheres alike, can only be so maintained ?
I wonder whether Mr. Carrington
has ever chanced to reflect that the
mystery which attends the life of an
amoeba—a blob of protoplasm living
in the pools—is just as great, if not
greater, than that which encompasses the existence of man. Here
is a speck of living matter, eating,
moving, and reproducing its kind,
alive In all Its parts; it dies in time,
and the mystery of Its death Is, In
turn, as deep as that which faces
us when i.nother microscopic living
unit, say, the brain cell of a man,
ceases to function. Possibly the
cause of death Is similar in each
case. The living substance no longer
receives its nourishment as it grows

told us death begins either in the

secondary cause of death, not of its
real origin. We, scorning the often
irreverent charlatanism that asserts
its power (at a fee) to converse with
the dead, may, much more wisely

CUTTING DOWN PARK
Anger and amazement have been
created at Galgary and in Banff by
the leaking out of the fact that the
Dominion government has decided to
cut several Ihousand square miles
off the area of the Rocky Mountain
National Park, of which Banff is the
centre says the Edmonton Journal.
On June 8 last an order-in-council
was passed at Ottawa converting the
entire northern section of the park
into a forest reserve and taking it
out of the jurisdiction of Commissioner Howard Douglas. This order-
in-council was never made public,
but now the news has leaked out at
Banff, and has created consternation.
An indignation meeting of the Banff
board of trade was held Sunday af
ternoon al which some very hard
tilings were said about the government, and the Alberta Fish and
Game Protective Association has
wired a strong protest to Ihe government.
The fact that the size of the park
had been cut down and the part
taken away converted into a forest
reserve would not matter so much
were fears not expressed that the
game regulations which for years
have been enforced in the park, will
not. apply to the section taken away.
At its narrowest part the park will
now be only sixteen and a half miles
in width, where tt formerly was a
hundred.
The part created into a forest reserve contains the breeding round
of all the sheep, goats and other
wild animals, which should be in the
mountains. If the game regulations
are not made to apply to this part
it will imply that the game will be
slaughtered on grounds which they
have learned from long experience is
sacred. The result will be the ultimate disappearance of all game
from this section of the Rockies.
Sportsmen and hunters are naturally
greatly incensed and it is feared that i
the work of ten years will be undone
in a few months.

Hudson's Bay Railway Will be Construe
ted as a Public Undertaking.
Undertaking Will Re Started ut an
Early Date From
the Pas
Action looking to the construction
of the Hudson's Bay Railway will
be taken immediately. Following
the government's decision to construct the railway itself, surveys
were completed and tenders asked for
last June for the construction of the
first 200 miles extending from Pas
Mission, Keewatin territory, to
Thicket Portage and running in a
northeasterly direction through the
country north of the Saskatchewan
River. Tenders have been opened.
In all, eight were received, but the
choice, it is said, was narrowed
down to two, those submitted by J.
D. McArthur of Winnipeg and M. J.
O'Brien. It is the intention of the
government to start the work of construction at the earliest possible moment and It is regarded as likely
that the successful contractor will
be at work before September 1. Con-
slruction will commence from the
north end of the government bridge
over the Saskatchewan at the Pas.
If. as Is probable, Port Nelson Is
selected as the terminal port, the
railway will be approximately 500
miles in length and the government
anticipates putting down a considerable portion of the first 200 miles
of roadbed provided for by the present contract before the advent of
winter.

"The Canadian Pacific and Grand
Trunk Pacific railways are prepared
to send in a couple of thousand laborers immediately. At Toronto
crowds are flocking to the offices of
the provincial departments or to the
offices of the railway companies,
eager to make the journey into the
west, and earn the high wages
which are to be paid during the
western farmer hustling season.
"The railway companies were
companies were afraid that if they
granted through tickets to Alberta j
in connection with their harvest excursions, this province would get the
lion's share of the supply of harvest
hands, but we are confident that the
supply will be met."
A large force of men is to be employed by the provincial government
to supply intending harvesters with
detailed information as to the need
for hands in various parts of Alberta. The force will be under the
direction of Commissioner Daley in
Winnipeg, and a list compiled from
the statistics of various districts will
be at their command. Farmers who
are in need of help have been appealed to by the department of agriculture to send in a list of the men
required, and when the hands who
are to gather in the bumper crops
leave Winnipeg they will in many
Instances have determined their exact destination in advance.

Oliver, detailing the system of fraud
practiced by the Chinese both as regards evading head tax and smuggling opium. That report is completely verified in every detail by
the evidence given before Commissioner Murphy two years after, and
the commissioner makes that two-
year-old report of mine the basis of
the only conclusions and recommendations that are relevant or worthy
of consideration in his own report
now laid on the table of the House.
But when I made that report In
November, 1909, Mr. Oliver was
afraid to act upon it. I urged him
strongly one day in February, 1910,
saying that not only was the continuing fraud bad alike for the reputable
Chinese and the whites, but that the
government' was losing hundreds of
thousands of dollars of revenue.
Mr. Oliver, in his own frank
phraseology, replied: "To hell with
the government; I'm not going to
mix up in the thing and get old
Cartwright jumping on me in council." About March, however, a copy
of this last report came into the
hands of Mr. O'Hara, and he began
inquiries on his own account; Inquiries which he pushed to a successful conclusion.
In July, he instructed Secret Service Officer Foster—a man familiar
with the coast, and who had done
good service there during the Asiatic
troubles—to go to Vancouver and
observe the working of the Chinese
Immigration Act at that port. At
the same time Sir Wilfrid, then acting minister of the interior issued
the following order: "That T. R. E.
Mclnnes should again visit the western provinces with a view to his reporting along the same lines as he
did in his reports to the minister
of the 10th December, 1908, and the
10th November, 1909, touching on
the immigration questions and the
adminlstatlon of the Immigration
Act in these provinces. Mr. Mclnnes will return In the month of
September next, and his employment
will be on the same terms as authorized before by the minister."
Now, Foster, although a very ca-
able officer, would have been helpless at Vancouver 1n this matter
without the assistance which 1 was
able to give or procure for him, because he had no special knowledge
of Chinese, and he had to encounter
the strong opposition of the govern
ment officials, and the C. P. R. and
other steamship company , officials,
and also political influences on both
sides. The Liberal patronage committee for some reason wanted no
interference with the status qou;
the Conservatives did not want to
assist for various reasons.
The Chinese ring took advantage
of the situation. Having got Foster
under way, assisted by David Lew,
I went to Calgary and gave Sir Wilfrid an interim verbal report. He
approved and said to proceed, and
I did so. When the time was ripe
for the sudden suspension of Yip
On, I wired to Sir Wilfrid's secretary,
asking that it be done, and my suggestions were carried out to the letter. As a result the system of fraudulent entry was exposed, some of
the guilty .officials have been recommended for prosecution and given
time to escape, and a complete
change In the administration of the
Chinese Act along the lines which I
recommended in 1909 has taken
place.
This brings me to the third charge
which I make. If the government
had acted immediately on the commissioner's report being received the
guilty Chinese could have been arrested and tried, and at such trial
much more evidence implicating
others could have been brought out.
I know that the recently smashed
smuggling ring counted upon political protection; they thought they
had secured the friendship of leading Liberal and Conservative, politicians in Vancouver, to such an extent as to make them Immune from
prosecution. Nevertheless, the ring
has been smashed, and their revenues
from smuggling of immigrants and
opium have for the present been cut
off. Some people are very sore over
this whole affair, and these people
are not all Chinese by any means,
although they seem to have a very
yellow streak in them. As I happen
to be the main Instrument of their
undoing there is nothing at which
they will stop to injure of vilify me.
And Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Hon.
Frank Oliver, Instead of having sufficient manliness to at least make
my position honorably clear to the
public, say nothing, or insinuate, as
Sir Wilfrid did on Friday, that the
government had nothing to do with
me or my part in the affair.
As to the first and second
charges; the second was made clear
in my explanation of the fourth.
Now as to the first: The commission-

J. M. CHRISTIE, Manager, Prince Rupert Branch
er's mission was to Inquire into the
working of the Chinese Immigration
Act, evasions of it, suggested improvements, and as a side issue the
question of opium smuggling. He
was not commissioned to whitewash
Templeman or the Liberal executive,
or to vilify myself or Gordon Grant
or David Lew or Officer Foster or
other persons supposed to be distasteful to the ruling Liberal clique
of Vancouver. He made a farce of
the session of the commission by
inviting all sort of irrelevant evidence which might or might not affect the status of the Liberal party
In Vancouver but which had clearly
nothing to do with evasions of the
Chinese Immigration Act. For instance, he brought in Joe Martin to
say that Bob Kelly sold the political
positions of Vancouver; then he
brought in Bob Kelly to say Joe Martin was a liar; and so on ad nauseam.
But to the real subject under investigation not one-half of the time
of the commission was devoted to it.
Then In his findings he first whitewashes Templeman (who had not
been accused), whitewashes the Liberal executive (which was not the
subject of investigation) and then
he finds me (under a special authority from the premier to Investigate)
guilty of intrigue for bo doing, saying that I, to use his own puerile
way of pitting it, tried "to establish
some sort of connection with the administration of the Chinese Restriction Act at Vancouver by obtaining
control of the Chinese interpreter
and possibly in other ways. Its object was to serve some persona]
ends." He associates Gordon Grant
and David Lew with me in this. And
yet it was Gordon Grant as counsel
sanctioned by Sir Wilfrid before Templeman had him ousted in favor of
one of his own pets who secured the
success of the preliminary investigation; and it was David Lew upon
whom Commissioner Murphy himself
had to depend to secure evidence,
and reliable interpretation, to the
very last session of the commission.
Then this brave commissioner attacks one of the most faithful and
tried police officers in the Dominion
service by intimating that he was
so weak or venal that I secured him
and "utilized him to advance this
Intrigue." Judge Murphy descends
to playing politics of the meanest
variety had his first four findings:
had been drafted for him by the
Liberal executive there would have
been no variation In the language.
His other findings are simply what
I recommended or stated in my report to the government of November,
1909. I will publish that report
and let the public compare It with
Murphy's report, and it will be evident where he gets whatever there
Is of value in it. His last findings
as to opium, saying "that its consumption must be discouraged by
drastic amendments" shows that he
does not even keep abreast of the
acts of parliament. I drew for Mackenzie King this session the new
Opium Act, which Is the most drastic and effective act against the use
of opium and cocaine to be found on
the statute books of America.

throughout the Old and New World,

the precious metal is forced from the
bosom of Mother Earth, and in Europe, Africa, Asia, North and South
America, Bloch money has helped
develop mineral resources.
"It's true that I came here with
Monsier Bernay, one of our firm's
consulting engineers, to look into a
number of tempting propositions
that have been made to our firm by
our agents," said Monsieur Bloch
when seen at the hotel Elysium. "We
have had our eye on British Columbia and the Yukon district for some
time, but we have been so busy in
other parts that we could not until
now devote sufficient time to the
local field. Recent reports, however, from our local correspondents
have been so favorable and tempting
that I have decided to come out here
myself and look over the field.
"Of course, I cannot say at this
moment which are the exact places
that we have in mind for closer inspection, because that might interfere with our ultimate plans, but I
am willing to say that business conditions here appear very sound and
seem withstand close scrutiny and
that alone is a pretty safe sign. Besides that, this province, in almost
all mining districts, has excellent
railway facilities, which is highly encouraging.
,"We are going to stay in this province for several weeks and I am
pretty certain that we will be among
Britisii Columbia's taxpayers before
many moons are passed, provided
Monsier Bernay finds that the prop-
sitlons which we will inspect will
come up to the flattering reports."

From Jordan River, near Victoria,
has been brought a report of a find
of a big seam of anthracite coal
eight feet thick on a hill back of
the camp of the Vancouver Island
Power Company. Opinion is divided
over the authenticity of the report.
The story was brought by returned
workmen, and was to the effect that
when cutting tiie right-of-way for
a railroad for the V. I. P. Company
and the Canadian Puget Sound Lumber Company the railroad workers
uncovered coal. It was hard coal,
anthracite, they said, and the story
was to the effect that the seam uncovered was no less than eight feet
thick. If this report proves correct
the find will mean much to Vancouver Island. Heretofore only soft
coal has been mined "on the Island.

MAY LOCATE WORKS
Sir Donald Mann Has in View Installing a Mueller in
Stewart
According to Toronto despatches
Stewart may be selected as the point
for the establishment of a big smelter, says the Portland Canal Miner.
Shareholders of the Island Smelting
and Refining Company, the big $10,-
000,000 corporation organized by
Sir Donald D. Mann, have agreed
that a testing plant be established in
Britisii Columbia for the treatment
of lead, zinc and other refactory ores,
and in view of Sir Donald's large
mining interests in the Portland
Canal district this point was suggested as the most advantageous. The
Toronto company has acquired the
patents of a process that has revolutionized the reduction of ores, as
outlined some time ago in The Journal, and If the Island Smelting and
Refining Company can do what . is
asked of them, Sir Donald Mann, ac-
codrdlng to what was stated at the
meeting, obligates himself to proceed
with the protection of the patents
throughout the world, and the establishment of a reduction works in
this province. For this purpose the
sum of $100,000 is set aside to protect any infringements.
Sir Donald . ann will shortly visit
Stewart in company with some noted
mining engineers and smelter experts. By that time the railway will
be completed to the junction of American Creek and Bear River and
an announcement regarding both the
continuation of the railway eastward
and the construction of a smelting
plant by the Island Smelting and Refining Company will probably be
given. Representing Sir Donald at
the recent meeting of the patent
smelting company in Toronto was
M. I. Stewart, formerly of Stewart,
who has become a heavy shareholder.
His father, F. P. Stewart, was in
Stewart last week, and confirmed
the information given above.

LOOKING TO PROVINCE
Great Mining Brokers Will Invest in
British Columbia and
Yukon
That Europe's greatest mining
brokers have their eyes on Britisii
Columbia and the Yukon Territory
has become known with the arrival
of Monsieur Edmond Bloch, who, accompanied by one of his family's
consulting engineers, Monsieur Henri
Bernay, has come to this city from
Paris via New York, says the Victoria Colonist, to investigate in person a number of mining propositions
in this province, favorably reported
upon by the firm's local agents.
The firm of Paul Bloch, with beau
Public interested centred in the
development of the Standard and the
Rambler-Cariboo mines in the Siocan
B. C. district will be greatly accen
tuated within the next 60 day, when
according to H. D. J. Jackson, a mining expert of Spokane, the two properties will be placed upon a dividend
paying basis. The net earnings of
the two mines, which are controlled
by Spokane operators and associates
is estimated at $400,000 a month.
Work is being rushed to equip the
Standard with tramway, compressor
and concentrator, and it is announced that the mine should be in post
tlon to ship fully 200 tons of ore
dally the early part of September.
Half oi the product will be clean
ore, going directly to the smelter,
and the rest of lower grade is to
be treated in the new mill. The
tramway will have a capacity of 20
tons an hour, or 200 tons in a ten
hour shift. The mill will treat from
100 to 125 tons a day. The ore and
concentrates will yield a net proft of
$60 a ton and on that basis it is
estimated the earnings will be about
$200,000 a month.
The latest news from the Standard
is that the ore body has been encountered in the No. 6 tunnel level, which
is 240 feet below No. 5 level, where
the most extensive work has been
done in the big ore shoot. The point
where the ore was encountered was
so far from wliere the beginning of
the ore shoot was expected to be
found that it was not at first thought
to belong to that body. While this
has not been demonstrated, recent
developments make ft appear so. At
any rate, the work during the next
few weeks will settle this point. If
It is a part of the main ore shoot,
then that body undoubtedly Is much
longer on the No. 6 level than it
was on either side of the higher
levels.
The ore shoot recently broken into
on the 1,200 foot level of the Rambler-Cariboo has widened from two
feet of clean ore to tbe full width
of the shaft. This is the second of
the three lenses which have been
well developed on, the 900 foot level.
Where opened on the 1,050 foot
level, the same lens had a width of
only one foot, which gradually wid.
ened to a maximum of six and a
half feet. Ore from the Rambler
Cariboo mine shows a higher grade
of silver than the Standard ore,
ranging from 100 to 150 ounces to
the ton. The lead value of both
mines is between 50 and 60 per
per cent.
The Rambler-Cariboo mine also
will be equipped as quickly as possible with a tramway and concentrator. The tramway Is to have a
capacity of 200 tons a day and the
mill will treat not less than 100 tons
In the 24 hours. Production from
the mine will be near that of the

LUMBER MERGER
Provincial Companies Organize New
Concern With Large Capitol
Bonds Sold in London
The London, England, branch of
the Royal Bank of Canada recently
offered for subscription an issue of
93 per cent of £350,000 6 per cent
first mortgage bonds of the Canadian
Pacific Lumber Company, Ltd.,
which embraces a proposed amalgamation of five distinct Britisii Columbia sawmill corporations, together with their respective timber holdings. The authorized capital is
$3,000,000. It is understood that the
flotation proved very successful.
According to the prospectus issued
In London the companies forming the
merger are as follows: Canadian Pacific Lumber Company, Ltd., Port
Moody; Anglo-American Lumber Co.,
Ltd., Vancouver; Gibbons Lumber
Company, Arrow Lake; Barkley
Sound Cedar Company, Ltd., Alberni Canal, Vancouver Island: and the
Rivers Inlet Timber Syndicate, Owe-
kano Lake. They own four sawmills
with an estimated sawing capacity of
270,000 feet dally. The total timber holdings of the combination is
given at 2,337,469,000 feet. The
value of all their freehold and leasehold lands, and plant and equipment,
Is placed at $638,000 and $572,000
respectively. For the first four
months of this year the profits of
the Canadian Pacific Lumber om-
pany at Port Moody and the Anglo-
American Lumber Company are given
as $37,000 and $54,000 respectively.
The prospectus points out that up
to the present time the timber has
been left practically untouched, and
the profits have been almost wholly
earned by manufacturing lumber
from logs purchased in the open markets.
It is intended to continue this
policy for the present, as it is firmly
believed that the timber will increase
materially in value from year to
year, as has been the experience in
other parts of Canada and thhe United States.
The directors of the new corporation are as follows: M. B. Carlin,
Victoria; W. W. Fraser, Winnipeg;
R. W. Gibson and J. D. McArthur,
Winnipeg; and Thomas Meredith,
New Westminster.
ACQUIRES LIBRARY
Rare and Unrivalled Records
Western Canadian Exploration Secured
of
To form the backbone of the provincial library when It is housed In
the fine new library wing to be erected on Parliament Square, the splendid historical library of Mr. Justice
Martin has been acquired on behalf
of the government by Ethelbert O. S.
Scholefield, librarian and archiogtsl
of the province, who is now engaged
in completing the arrangements and
catalogues of the volumes for their
new home, says the Victoria Times.
The collection is the result of close
upon a quarter of a century's untir-
in geffort on the part of the learned
judge, and the very valuable collection, which In particular, Is unriv-
| ailed in bearing upon the exploration
of the Dominion west of Lake Superior, also includes the collector's
own work on the Hudson's Bay Company's Land Tenures," and "Lord
Selkirk's Settlers in Red River ".published In London In 1898, together
with volumes by the same author on
the mining lands of this province,
and other erudite subjects.
In assisting Mr. Scholefield to
value the library, Dr. F. C. New-
combe of Victoria and his hour Judge
Howay, acting on behalf of the government, lent valuable expert assistance.
For several years the collection of
rare volumes, maps, charts, engravings and manuscripts, had taxed to
the utmost the private library of the
owner, and, indeed, part of it had
perforce to be stored in safetay
vaults, which, of course, rendered it
inconvenient for either Mr. Justice
Martin or the many people who so
frequently sought reference to the
collection to readily refer to the
works.
In these circumstances, the suggestion made by Mr. Scholefield that
the collection should be purchased by
the government and placed in the
proposed new fire proof library at
the parliament buildings, where It
would be both easily accessible and
free from danger of being destroyed,
did not fall to appeal to the collector, and although he naturally ox-
perlenced keen regret at letting the
fruits of so many years' systematic
searchings over ....mographlc regions
of Europe and Canada go out of bis
own possession yet, as It woulel still
be available for Victorians, the sale
was eventually arranged, and the
government library is Incomparably
the richer for it.
These unequalled historical records include practically all the scarcest books and pamphlets on the
whole subject of Northwesl Cana-
eliana, the Rockies, In 1823-3 by
Hudson's Bay Company's officers,
and perhaps the chief trasure is the
original log of the ship Imperial
Eagle, which, under command of
Captain Charles Barkley, visited
these shore's in 177*.

OLIVER CHARGES
Unsatisfactory Way in Which These are
Left by the Government.
Criticism Offered by an Edmonton
Paper of the Course
Followed
The dissolution of parliament
brings an end to the investigation
into the charges against Hon. Frank
Oliver. It is said that Mr. Oliver
is very much put out over the result,
that he wanted' the matter gone into
thoroughly in order that his character as a public man should stand
quite unsullied when he comes back
west to seek the suffrage of the
electors, says the Edmonton Journal.
A little examination of the facts
will show what a pitiful pretense
all this is. When the session was
resumed at the middle of last month
no move was made to proceed with
the hearing till Mr. Borden called
attention to the need for taking action. At last a meeting of the committee was called for July 25.
It was immediately announced that
all those whose names had been mentioned in connection with the
charges, including the bank officials,
were being subpoenaed. Mr. Mei-
gben, one of the Conservatives on
the committee, urged on its assembling that there be no delay in getting to work as dissolution rumors
were in the air. Several material
witnesses were then present, including the man who denounced the minister of the interior to the premier.
But the Liberals asked for an adjournment on the ground that one
of their number was not present.
This was finally agreed to, August
1 being fixed as the day when the
proceedings should begin, on the
assurance being given by the chairman that the House would be sitting
then. As we know, it was dissolved
on Saturday and the committee is
thus permanently out of business.
There is only one conclusion to
be reached from a study of the history of this investigating body. The
Liberals made quite a show of being
willing to conduct a thorough enquiry, knowing that, when the witnesses were on deck the House would
have passed out of existence. Why,
if they wede willing to hear these
witnesses, who should have been able
to cast light on the transactions that
have been been given so much publicity to did they not call them
away last spring At that time not
only was nothing done to secure their
presence, but no assurance could be
obtained that the committee would
be empowered to hear them.
When you read of the grief of
Mr. Oliver over the hard turn of
events which prevented him from
meeting his accusers, get a copy of
Hansard and turn up the report of
the proceedings in the House on the
third of May last. One of the speakers in the debate on the functions
of the Oliver committee was E. G.
Porter. Here is part of what he
had to say:
"The prime minister," he said,
"asks us to consent to the nomination of a tribunal for the purpose of
hearing tlie charges which were
made to him by Mr. McGIIlicuddy.
I would like to ask the prime minister here if he would give us the
assurance now that the powers of
the committee are wide enough to
enable it to call upon Mr. McGIIlicuddy to give the same evidence
which he gave or which he tendered
to the prime minister, if the prime
minister does not do that, it is proof
conclusive that he does not expect
or does not intend that this House
shall have the same opportunity for
investigating the charges which
were made to him by Mr. McGIIlicuddy against the minister of the
Interior that he himself had. There
seems to be no answer to that, as
the prime minister does not reply.
Perhaps the prime minister will tell
us? If he wil give us the assur-
anec that the committee which he Is
appointing now will have full power
to investigate and receive the evidence of Mr. McGIIlicuddy as It was
given to him or as It was tendered
to him? As the prime minister does
not answer, I see that he does not
intend us to look at the original
bank account of which we have seen
a photograph, which is the most pos-
tive proof we have, although as the
minister of the interior himself said,
he could, If he chose, allow us to go
into his bankeiooks and clear himself, but that he does not intend to
do so. If he does not intend to do
so. he knows that the scope of this
resolution Is not broad enough to
allow Mr. McGIIlicuddy or to allow
the committee to produce the evidence which might clear up tlie
matter."
Other membes asked to receive the
assurance that Mr, Porter was after,
but In vain. -\ow within the past
week we havebeen told with a great
flourish of trumpets that all the evidence which Mr. Porter and his colleagues sought to have allowed last
spring was to be available, that the
bank accounts were to be produced
and the bank officials brought to
Ottawa to explain them. Then before the chance has been given to
carry out this programme, in steps
the government and has the House
dissolved. Was there ever a cheaper
or a more transparent bit of party
tactics? It was very bold and courageous, but only when it knew that
there was no chance that Its courage
would be put to the test.
As for Mt. Oliver's indignation
over the action of his colleagues in
rushing dissolution, it is a bit of
stage play which can only impress
those with poor memories. Can we
forget so easl lyhis protests of last
spring against the attempt of the
vile conspirators to make him divulge
his private affairs?
"I do not think," he told the
House, "that it would add to the
dignity of parliament or to the standing of public life In Canada to say
that parliament should be the assistant of thugs and blackmailers by requiring the exposure of a bank account on such a statement as has
been put before the public."
And now he is reported to have
threatened toassatilt Mr. Fielding because he insisted on the dissolution
before this bank account could be
exposed.
If anything was needed to convince
the electors that the government had
i great deal that it wished to cover
up in this connection and that Mr.
Oliver was really handling money
that came into his hanTTs most improperly, this foolish bit of eleventh
hour acting should serve the purpose.

DAMAGE TO NIOBE
PATRIOTIC WORK
Eastern Paper Tells How Cruiser Came
to Get Into Dangerous
Place.
Canadian Warship Was Assigned to
Task of Aiding
Celebration
The Nova Scotia Pilot, referring
to the accident to the Niobe, the
Canadian cruiser, says: Yarmouth
harbor accommodates vessels of from
15 to 20 feet draught, while the
Niobe draws 27 1-2 feet. Against
these disadvantages Yarmouth can
set the great advantage of being a
strongly Liberal town. An election
is approaching, a local festival was
being held, and to help in the celebration the Niobe was sent. She
could not enter the harbor. She had
to stay in the roadstead, and was
caught and had to fight her way to
sea in a combination of wind, fog,
and current, off one of the most
dangerous coasts in the world. Thus
sailors on the Niobe were sent by
politicians on a political errand. It
may be guessed that every effort
will be made to throw all the blame
on Captain MacDonald, but the real
cause is the use of the ship on the
lines of I. C. R. Meanwhile, after
patching the ship up, the first step
will be to hold a courtniartial on
Captain MacDonald for getting his
ship ashore.

Hip grass and following it with a
golf club."
A genuine innovation, which is a
somewhat radical and at the same
time exceedingly interesting depart
ure in connection with the educational work of British Columbia has
just been decided upon by the min
Ister of education, Hon. Dr. Young,
whose very deep and practical interest In all matters appertaining to the
progressive development of the educational affairs of British Columbia
will be at once conceded and appreciated by all residents of the province, regarddless of party differences
in political faiths. The innovation
is one the autnorship of which is the
minister's alone, the essential principle of which is to Inspire patriotism by a simple and intelligent presentation to the children of the public schools of all that Is most admirable in the accomplishment of the
great statesmen,, soldiers, naval heroes, scientists and leaders in useful
thought among the people of Canada
and of the Empire.
This most desirable educational
campaign it is designed to prosecute
and advance by means of a small
pamphlet or public school magazine
of sixteen pages or thereabouts, to
be printed under government auspices and distributed monthly to all
the public school pupils from the
third grade up, the expectation being
that a monthly issue of 20,000 copies
will be required.
The publication will be conducted
on lines that will tend to foster and
promote a spirit of true imperialism.
The contributions each month will
include two or three of strictly Canadian interest and two or three imperialistic, the admirable accomplishments of Canadians In all fields
of highly useful and patriotic endeavor being given special prominence, but the central idea belnj; to
promote the unitv of the Empire.
It is expected that the department
will soon be in a position to issue
the first number soon after the resumption of the schools, in early September.
The publication will be freely illustrated by means of line engravings,
while the regular contributors will
include Miss Maria Lawson and a
number of naval and military officers, prominent clergymen, students
of statecraft, educationists, and eminent specialists in the domains of
science and industrial activity. Special features will be made of historical sketches dealing simply and
plainly, in a stle especially adapted
to win the attention and be thoroughly understood by youthful readers,
of the careers of leading Britisii
statesmen, soldiers and naval heroes,
and captains of industry, incidents of
Canadian and Britisii history, etc.
More particularly will attention be
given to sketches of the lives of eminent Canadians who have distinguished themselves as statesmen, in
the army or navy of their country
and inthe fields of science, invention
and industrial activity.
From one-third to one-half of the
space in the forthcoming publication
it is proposed to reserve for a record o fthe achievements of those who
have played such a patriotic part in
the upbuilding of Canada, who have
gone from Canada to serve the king
and flag in the army or the navy,
who have won Rhodes scholarships,
or who have graduated from the
schools of this country to play the
part of useful and patriotic men and
women in the educational work of
11lie Dominion and in the advance-
I ment of national greatness and Im-
j perial unity.
Such a policy will readily be recognized as being in thorough and complete harmony with the well known
ideas of Hon. Dr. Young as minister
of education and his determination
to preserve the policy of the educational department as altogether nonpartisan and non-political. The essence of the purpose aimed at in
the proposed publication is to Interest and Inspire the pupils of the
Britisii Columbia public schools so
as to promote their development as
staunch and useful Canadians, and
true and worthy British subjects.
The distribution of the new school
journal will be made through the free
text book department and preliminary
circulars will be sent to the various
trustee boards fully explaining the
purpose In view, and to the teachers
requesting them to see to the proper
distribution of the journal and to
explain to their pupils Its meaning
and significance. The pupils will be
requested to take each number home
and read its several articles, and the
teachers will be invited when opportunity presents itself to review the
contents of each number and talk
them over with the scholars, with a
view to seeing that they otbain a
thorough understanding of the various articles and their significance.
Every care will be taken that the
contents of each number shall be as
agreeably diversified as possible in
character and of such a nature as to
interest youthful readers, be easily
understood by them, and systematically and tactfully promote the development of the spirit of patriotism,
Canadlanism and love of a united
Empire.

The questional an additional assistant to the city engineer came up
last evening on the report of the
streets committee. This favored the
appointment of a man to take the
place of Mr. Simpson, who had resigned some weeks ago. The engineer asked for such an appointee
at a salary not exceeding $125 a
month. This assistant would be engaged in miscellaneous work until
the Woodworth proposition was entered upon, when he would give his
attention to that branch.
Aid. Newton said he would stand
for no further increases in the engineering department until he was perfectly sure that the department was
not overmanned at present. He had
satisfied himself that the staff was
too great.
Aid. Hilditch felt it was necessary
to have this additional help. Colonel
Davis asked for a man and he felt
he would not ask if it were not necessary.
Aid. Douglas said he favored retrenchment.
Aid. Kirkpatrick called attention
the fact that Aid. Douglas signed
the report.
Aid. Douglas admitted he did.
Aid. Newton contended that Aid.
Hilditch did not know whether additional help was needed or not.
Aid. Hilditch said he knew it was
needed. He knew how much help
Colonel Davis needed. He would
not go on his knees to plead for it,
however, if the council did not want
to grant it, they could refuse.
Reference being made to the report on the city's engineer's department presented some time ago, Aid.
Hilditch said it was not a report of
the committee. It was Aid. Newton's report.
"It's a deliberate falsehood
Aid. Newton.
The report carried.

Claim Anticosti
It was stated in Montreal that descendants of a French-Canadian family named Lemieux, to the number
of 60, will shortly enter suit for the
restoration of the title to the island
of Anticosti, now in the possession
of Menier, the French chocolate
king.
The Lemieux family, to which the
Canadian postmaster general is not
related, bases its claims upon its alleged inheritance of the property
from one Parent, many years ago,
and claims that M. Menier purchased
the island at his own risk.
Tancrede Pagnuelo, a Montreal
lawyer, is stated to be in Paris at
the present time looking up documentary evidence in the case.

Good, Sound Reasons for
MONARCH Economy
Monarch Ranges are built so that they can
never have "air leaks"—
For around every opening into the body there
is a Malleable Iron frame to which the
steel is riveted.
No putty is needed In such joints. They are
air tight when new and stay air tight.
If these other ranges were built in this way
they might be economical too.
Investigate this matter of rivet construction
versus stove bolts and stove putty. It's
important to every one using or buying
a range.
