PRINCETON/B.C., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1908. $2 a Year, in Advance MIEDTS JHISSION To Japan Results in Amicable Settlement of Undesirable Immigration. Mikado's Government Pledged Take Measures to Retrict Immigration to Canada. to Last week the Hon. Mr. Lemieux delivered to the Dominion Parliament the report of his mission to Japan in connec tion with Japanese immigration to Canada, and shows that he was successful in coming to an agreement with Tokyo authorities to have this immigration curtailed to meet the wishes of Canada. Mr. Lemieux said in part: "In dealing with such a delicate problem, I am not at liberty to divulge confidences and statements of a confidential nature." He then read the written assurance from Count Hayashi, Minister of Foreign Affairs, as follows, under date of Tokyo, December 23, 1907: "In reply to your note of even date, I have the honor to state that, although the existing treaty between Japan and Canada absolutely guarantees to Japanese subjects full liberty to enter, travel, and reside in any part of the Dominion of Canada, yet it is not the intention of the Japanese Government to insist upon the complete enjoyment of the rights and privileges guaranteed by these stipulations, when that would involve disregard of special conditions which may-prevail in Canada from time to time. Acting in this spirit and having regard to circum stances of recent occurrence in British Columbia, the Imperial Government has decided to take efficient measures to restrict immigration to Canada. In carrying out this purpose, the Imperial Government, in pursuance of the policy above stated, will give careful consideration to local conditions prevailing in Canada, with a view to meeting the desires of the Government of the Dominion as far as is combatible with the spirit of fitl? treaty and' the State. Although, as stated in a note under my reply, it was not possible for me to acquiesce in all of the proposals made by you in behalf of ■the Canadian Government, I trust you will find in the statement herein made proof of the earnest desire of the Imperial Govern tnentxto promote, by every means within theirisspower, the growth and stability of the cordial and mutually beneficial relations which have existed between our countrie?. I venture to believe, also, that this desirable result will be found to have been materially advanced by the full exc'iange of views which has taken place between us, and it gives me special pleasure to ocknowledge the obligations under which I have been placed by your frank and considerate explanation regarding the attitude and wishes of your Government." "In this letter," said Mr. Lemieux, 'the Minister of Foreign Affairs gives Canada the official assurance that the Imperial Government has decided to take efficient means to restrict emigration from. Japan. It will be asked at once, what are those efficient means and where is the guarantee of that restriction? My answer is that during the course of our conferences, a series of most stringent resolutions, accompanied by instructions addressed to local governors and to the consuls in Canada were adopted. I can assure the House that the British Ambassador and myself are satisfied that these regulations were sufficient for our purpose, and tjiat they will be honestly en forced by the Foreign Office at Tokyo. There is, however, one feature of these regulations which I am authorized to make public. That is that bringing laborers under contract has been stopped." Leading English papeis comment most favorably on the result of Mr. Lemieux's mission and compliment him and the Dominion Government on their diplomacy in settling so amicably an exceedingly delicate question. PRINCETON VISITED By Superintendent of Presbyterian Missions in British Columbia. dence that the dog, which was a large and powerful one, had not succumbed without a fierce struggle, the cougar's legs were badly bitten and scarred up. Pleased with Conditions Here—Pastor's Stipend will be Increased to $950 Per Year. PLACING THE BLAME. Mackenzie King's report of his findings in the Japanese immigration inquiry was pretented to Parliament last week, and establishes the fact that the Japanese Government was acting in good faith and that the Nippon Supply Co., backed by the C P.R. and other Canadian interests, were responsible for the departure from the regulations in force up to April last. BOUNTY ON PANTHERS RAISED. The Provincial Government has increased the bounty on panthers from $7.50 to $15. The skins generally are worth from #3 to $5 and with the bounty huat- ing them should be profitable. This action has been taken by the authorities on strong representations made to them bv the sporting interests throughout the country asking that some such action be taken, owing especially to the fact that young deer and young grouse have suffered severely from the depredations of these animals. GRANBY ALONE OPERATES. Reports from Phoenix state the Gran by still figures as the only mines shipping and having the only smelter in operation in the Boundary district. Some little delay has been experienced in getting the entire Dattery of eight furnaces in opera tion at the smelter, and when they are all blown in it will give a normal output of 3,000 tons daily shipped and smelted. A meeting of the board of managers of the church in Princeton under the jurisdiction of the Home Missions of the Piesbyterian Church, was held last Saturday evening, W. C. McDougall in the chair, when considerable business effecting the church was disposed of. A resolution was passed unanimously asking the Home Mission "Board to have this mission placed on the augmented list, which will enable the people to choose their own pastor, besides entitling this mission to the maximum amount of $350 granted by the Mission Board. This with what is raised here and in Hedley, the latter place being included in this field, would bring the pastor's stipend up to $950. Hedley will have to concur in this action before it is finally settled, and it is expected they will do so at once. A committee composed- of Gordon Murdoch and W. C. McDougall was appointed to wait on Mr. Waterman, resident townsite agent, with a view to securing a suitable site on which to erect a church and manse. Mr. Wilson, superintendent of Presbyterian missions in British Columbia, who arrived in town during the afternoon in connection with his duties, was present and addressed the meeting. This was Mr. Wilson's first visit to this field since his appointment, and he expressed surprise and satisfaction at the way the people of Princeton had come to the financial assistance of the church, for which credit was due pastor and managers. The Rev. Mr. Wilson conducted divine services on Sunday morning at 11 a. m., dealing in an interesting and instructive manner regarding mission work in British Columbia. He left in the afternoon with Rev. Mr. Conn for Hedley where services were held in the evening. On Monday Mr. Wilson visited the Nickel Plate mine and left the next day for the Okanagan. PRINCETON NOT SO BADLY OFF. Bert Irwin returned to Princeton yesterday from a trip to the Boundary, going as far as Greenwood, and reports business dull all along the line. He reports the grading on the V.,V. & E. between Kere- meos and Hedley progressing favorably considering the number of men employed. Jack Budd is working on his contract at Brushy Bottom with great energy aud he says it won't be his fault if the rails are not stretched to Princeton early in the fall. Mr. Irwin says there are' worse place's than Princeton just now • and" firmly believes there will be quite a stir in this direction the coming summer. He leaves on a trip to Nicola today. Frank Bailey is busily engaged opening up a coal showing on his property on the Tulameen river near town. KILLED BY A COUGAR. On Saturday last a dog belonging to Walter Jamison met its death in a mixup with a cougar at Five-Mile, which is noted as a lurking place for these midnight prowlers. Walter found the dog dead and partly devoured, and suspecting a cougar to be perpetrator of the deed he sprinkled the carcass with poison, with the result that next morning he found the dead body of the cougar. As evi- MORE PAY FOR M. P. P.'s It is more than likely that the Provincial Legislature will increase the sessional indemnities of ministers and members at the present session. While" the exact increased is not announced it is understood that the members will hereafter receive $1200 instead of' $800, while the salaries of ministers will be increased from #4,000 to $6,000. BY THE HUNDRED THOUSANDS. The greatest herd of caribou ever reported in the Yukon js now moving southward across the head of Sixty-mile rtver, a hundred miles west of Dawson. Reports say the herd has been crossing there for nearly a hundred days and it is estimated that 100,000 caribou have already crossed, with no end of the- mammoth procession in sight. A MODEL CITY. It is the intention of the Grand Trunk Pacific to make a model city of Prince Rupert, the Pacific coast terminus of the great transcontinental road now being built and with this end in view two Boston landscape architects are on the way to the site of the new place. MINING STAMPEDE. Hazel ton reports a stampede to the new gold strike at the confluence of the Ingenia and Finlay rivers, almost mid way between the Canadian Rockies and the Cassiar mounts. It is reported that prospects are of the best, samples of the gold brought to Hazelton being extremely coarse, and all the old-timers in that district are preparing to make a rush to the new fields. Wednesday next, Feb. 5th, the fire lads of Princeton will hold their annual ball and everything is working smoothly to make it the best ever.

The Columbia Steel Works of Portland has offered a prize of $100 to the discoverer of a deposit of white silica sond and agrees to take 100 tons of the sand each month at $6 per ton. Silica sand is necessary in the manufacture of steel. It is at present a crying need in the steel industry on the Pacific coast. The steel working plants of Portland are importing their supply from Minnesota at heavy expense for transportation. The needed sind is usually of a color almost clear white. The exact wording of the Columbia Steel Works' offer is as follows: We take 100 tons each month of silica sand. 9S pure silica and free from iron oxides, delivered at Portland at not to exceed $6 per ton, and we will pay $100 in cash to the discoverer. The demand for silica sand is wide and very heavy. It embraces every iron- working industry on the Pacific coast, and is constantly growing greater. The Metal Market. A review cf the metal market of 1907, says the Mining Science, shows some interesting features. It appears that the slump did not affect all the metals to the same degree. Silver for instance lost only 25.7 per cenf. of its high value; copper on the other hand slumped off 52 per cent. Tin, lead and spelter each lost from 40 per cent, to 41 per cent. Why silver should have shown such great strength is hard to understand. There has yet been no currency legislation lhat would materially affect the price, so its strength must come from a very steady demand.from the arts which just about keeps pare with the supplv. The variations in copper is easily understood. An unusual temporary demand, together po sibly with some market manipulation, put the price exceptionally high; then, when the demand broke, the price fell exceptionally low, following the oft- quoted habit of the pendulum. It is pleasing to note that all metal prices are nowon the upgrade. An ingenious New Englander claims to have perfected a process for the utilization of sage-brush in the making of building material. The ice harvest is now in full swing, the various merchants laying in their season's supply. A committee meeting of the Fire Brigade will be held at Secretary Cowan's office on Saturday evening when reports will be received from the various dance committees. FARM WANTED.

In experiments with a diving rod as used for discovering underground sup- lies, says the Scientific American, one of the geologists of the United States geological survey found that points it turned downward independently of his will, but more complete tests showed that the down turning resulted from slight and— until watched for—unconscious changes in the inclination of his body, the effects of which were communicated through the arms and wrists to the rod. No movement of the rod from causes outside the body could be detected, and it soon became obvious that the view held by other men of science is correct—that the operation of ihe "diving rod" is generally due to unconscious movements of the body or of the muscles of the hand. The experiments made to show that these • movements happen most frequently at places where the operator's experience has led him to believe that water may be found. The uselessness of the diving rod is indicated by the facts that the rod may be worked at will by the operator, that he fails to detect strong currents of water running in tunnels and other channels that afford no surface indications of water, and that his locations in limestone regions where water flows in well defined channels are rarely more successful than those dependent on mere guesses. In fact, its operators are successful only in regions in which ground water occurs in a definite sheet in porous material, or in more or less clayey deposits, such as the pebbly claiy or soil, in which, although a few failures occur, wells would get water anywhere. Ground water occurs under certain definite conditions, and as in humid regions a stream may be predicted where- ever a valley is known, so one familiar with rocks and ground water conditions may predict places where ground water can be found. No appliance, either electrical or mechanical, has yet been successfully used for detecting water in places where plain common sense or mere guessing would not have shown its presence }ust as well. The only advantage of employing a "water witch," as the operator of the divining rod is sometimes called, is that skilled services are obtained, most men so employed being keener and better observers of the occurrence and movements of ground water the average person..-, 1 T t T Y Y f Y V m t Y f Y y y y Y ?
