Enquiry Will be of Wide Scope Montreal, June 11.���������The news that Lord Mersey, who presided over the British enquiry into the loss of the Titanic, is to be a member of the royal commission appointed to investigate the Empress of Ireland disaster, was received with satisfaction. As Lord Mersey was president of the Titanic court, it is assumed that he will be similarly honored when the Empress commission meets. The Canadian members of the commission are Chief Justice Ezekiel McLeod of New Brunswick, and Sir A do 1 ph. Routhier of Quebec. The commission will be assisted by two nautical assessors, a marine engineer and a naval architect. Appointment to these positions have notyet been made. Just when the commission can begin its work is undetermined. The enquiry will be of the widest scope and.the government will be represented by counsel, it is announced, as it is probable there will be discussion of rules of navigation in Canadian waters Shamrock IV a "Nautical Crime" A Sad Drowning Fatality Local Youth Meets Untimely End. Gosport, Eng., June 11.���������The fourth Shamrock is going to be either a huge success or a colossal failure, for nothing like her has ever floated on waves before. It was not until she was actually in the water and the mast stepped that one fully realized the enormity of Nicholson's "crime" in throwing to the winds all old ideas of orthodox designers and turning out a freak racing machine. Will this weird craft, ungraceful of line, with curious crushed in sides, chopped-off stern, stubby bows, and literally squatting on the surface water, make good? is the question heard on all sides. It is significant how many share Lipton's confidence in Nicholson, the master builder. One thing certain is that the new challenger, which has been variously compared to a skimming dish, champagne glass, and old-fashioned gravy boat, is likely to cause the defenders many anxious moments before the final, show-down off Sandy Hook for its sheer novelty. A sad fatality which has evoked wide spread sympathy occurred late last Saturday'night or in the early hours of Sunday morning, when Martin Schulstad of Hagensborg, met his death by drowning. The deceased was engaged in fishing for the local cannery and was last seen aboard his boat at 11:30 p. m. on Saturday, previous to which he had rowed his boat from the east side of the wharf to the west side in order to procure a better anchorage. This proved to be the last time he was seen alive, for about 5 a.m. on Sunday, when the tide was at its lowest ebb, his body was discovered on the beach close to the cannery by Earl Stoessiger. On examination by Dr. Bavis, the resident physician, marks were found on his head and face which lead to the assumption that the unfortunate man fell overboard from his boat and in so doing struck his head against one of the first members, was strongly represented, the representatives paying their last .respects by marching two by two, after the relatives, to the cemetery and there with uncovered heads witnessed the interment of their departed comrade. Many of the deceased's fellow employees of* the local cannery were also in attendance. Capt. W. D. Stephenson, by special request, spoke appropriately and eloquently at the graveside paying noble tribute to the memory of the departed. H Casebeer, the freighter from the upper road camp, came to town on Wednesday for a load of supplies. Frank Johnson now has charge of the work in the upper portion of the valley. W.

This is the estimate given , to the Lord Mayor of Liverpool ,' by Mr. Duncan Fraser, the actuary connected with the Titanic fund. Melbourne, June 11���������The state of Victoria has been' investigating the transport-of-wheat problem as the traffic is assuming large proportions and farmers are finding facilities inadequate. The state ministry, after having held an enquiry into the matter, has decided to appoint Mr. J. P. Jones of Fort William, Ont., a member of the Canadian Grain Commission Board, to report on the best methods of handling the traffic. It is felt that the great experience that Mr. Jones has had in dealing with similar problems in Canada eminently fits him for the work the state government wishes him to carry out. S.S.

The Board of Trustees of the Mackenzie School met at the Grandview Hotel on Tuesday evening to make up the assessment for the year 1915. Among the outgoing passengers by the last south-bound steamer were Messrs. T. Garrett of Gault Bros., Vancouver, A. J. Bates of the Ames Holden Mc- Cready Co., P. J. Sinnott of J.

Graham of the Crossing spent last weekend in town. He reports crop conditions as excellent in his neighborhood. Spring salmon fishing continues good, the average catch being very satisfactory. Road work throughout the valley is proceeding steadily, the different gangs making good progress in their respective sections. Foreman Draney's gang is employed on the road from the town to the new Bella Coola River bridge. This road runs through the Indian reserve and was first . opened up by private individuals at the expense of considerable time and money. For years this road has been a great convenience to both white people and Iiidians, but with the exception of some $250 appropriated by the Indian Department of the Dominion Government no government money has been expended on it. Since, however, the Provincial government has built the new bridge, it has become necessary for them to take over this road and much needed improvement will be done to it this sum- Trout fishing is one of the main pastimes of those who are fortunate enough to have leisure moments, and several good catches have been made in the Necleetsconnay River which flows through the town. Mr. A. C. Christensen who has been on a brief visit to Takush Harbor where he has property, returned to town on Thursday evening. The power-boat Kiltik came up from Namu on Thursday, returning the next morning. This powerful and fast craft is engaged in running between Rivers Inlet and Kimsquit with fish. The draw for Mrs. f.

The funeral was attended by a large number of people from all parts of the valley, including numbers of the deceased's fellow fishermen, who assembled to pay their last respects to an exceedingly popular young man. The service in the Augsborg church was conducted by the Rev. Hans Sageng and at the graveside an appropriate address was delivered by Capt. Wm. Stephenson. The deceased who was only twenty-two years of age was very highly respected throughout the whole valley. Mr. and Mrs. O. Shulstad, the parents of the deceased, are among the oldest settlers in the valley, and heartfelt sympathy with them and their family in their sad bereavement is expressed throughout the whole district. * (FltOM OUK SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT) Hagensborg���������The funeral of Martin Henry Schulstad, who came to his death by drowning, took place at the Augsburg cemetery on Tuesday last*. A large number of friends and neighbors of the bereaved family gathered at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. O. Schulstad, parents of the deceased, at 11:30 a.m. After a short devotional exercise at the house the gathering proceeded to the church, where service was conducted, by Rev. H. Sageng. So large was the gathering that the seating capacity of the church could not accomodate more than one half. The procession from the church to the cemetery was very lengthy. The Bella Coola Athletic Association, of which the deceased was Namu Perhaps in no industry has improvement in the method of manufacture been more rapid than in the making of cans at the various canneries on our coast. Abandoning the old-fashioned system where many men were engaged and where conditions were not entirely sanitary, many canneries have already installed the new Sanitary Can System, which besides allowing of great speed ensures absolute cleanliness, and minimizes the possibility of deterioration o f the contents of the can by exposure to the air through a leakage in an improperly made can. The large and up-to-date cannery at Namu, belonging to the Drayney's Fisheries Ltd., has the Sanitary Can System and by its use turned out on Saturday last no fewer than 100,216 sanitary cans. The saw mill is running full blast in order to cope with the demands, and altogether Namu is a hive of industry at present.

It would appear that human skill labors in vain to render remote ������he possibility of; the loss of life'.at sea. , :.\. ��������� '. The stories of the survivors of the awful wreck of, the Empress of Ireland are replete, with in- ". stances of real heroism and self- sacrifice. . While-the world stands aghast at thea wfulness of the disaster, it is one consolation to know that the heroic traditions of British seamen were in no^way violated. The .story of Salvation Army Commissioner Rees, who refused to be saved so long as women were on board. Thecstory of Sir Henry! Seton Kerr, th^e world- renowned big game' hunter, and of Captain Kendal, taken unconscious from the waters and afterwards, leading gallantly in the rescue work. These are but instances. We honor the memory of the' brave men and women t who did their duty without wincing. Of such fibre are the world's elect.. o o o o o Another Plank. "To actively assist 'by State aid in the development of the agricultural resources of the Province.'. So reads part of Clause 1 of the provincial platform of the Conservative party. Our representatives have gone to Victoria year after year, pledged to carry out this plank in their platform. Only when the condition throughout the province in regard to agriculture has become actually alarming are they roused to actiori. After some twelve years, during which time they have allowed the best of our accessable agricultural land to pass into the hands of speculators by methods which have since been described as fraudulent, they appoint a royal commission to ascertain the reason of the decadence in the agricultural industry. These royal commissioners travelled Europe and the Antipodes in an effort to find out what was wrong with the agricultural industry in their own home province. 'i������ They succeeded in getting information regarding agriculture in other countries, all of which might have been obtained at the expense of a few postage stamps, if not actually obtainable at the provincial library in our own parliament buildings. ��������� At this late date we read of a member of the provincial parliament telling his constituents that there is in this province an area of from 90,000,000 to 100.- 000,000 acres of land available for agriculture of "some kind or another," and of this huge area only 5,500,000 acres, or only two per cent, has passed to "purchasers." There figures are wrong and Mr. W. W. Foster who used them must know that they are wrong. We have only to refer to the government statistician, Mr. R. E. Gosnell, the gentleman who wrote the famous budget speech which appeared in the columns of a government organ, but was never delivered by the Minister of Finance: Mr.' Gosnell's estimate is 16,000,000 acres, out of which, according to Mr. Foster, a little over thirty-three and one third per cent has passed to the '.'purchaser," > which word- Mr. Foster tactfully substitutes for the harder sounding term '.'speculator." It is well known that the land controlled by the speculator comprises practically all of the best and most accessible land in the province. The" Conservative platform was well greased and acted splendidly as a toboggan slide to power. The people were led to believe that, the various pledges would be redeemed. How little such hopes have been realized,-it is hardly necessary to point out. When did the McBride'government ever attempt to assist by State aid in the development of the'agricultural resources of the province ? They have had twelve years during which to adopt a line of action. The only line of action which has been followed at all consistently is that of selling our best land to speculators and spending the money received from such sales unwisely and extravagantly. . o o o o o Nearly $66,000 Per Day. In October next the Borden government will have been three years in office, and in those three years will have given to Mackenzie and Mann the huge amount of $71,965,000, practically $2,000,- 000 for every month since the Ministry gained power. In October next, thanks to Mr. Borden, his colleagues, and his obedierit, majority, Mackenzie and Mann will have received from the people of Canada, either in cash or on the credit of the country, nearly $66,000 for every twenty-four hours of the last three years. The last dab of $45,000,000 is handed over by Mr. Borden in order to save the Western provinces from the consequences of their rash policies. . o o o o o , The promoters of the Canadian Pacific railway proved their faith in their project by putting up their own money as far as they were able, ���������;������������������'/ Mackenzie and Mann.are multimillionaires. " According to Mr. R. B. Bennett, M. P., they have assets amounting to at least $50,- 000,000, but they have not put one cent of their own money into the Canadian Northern, and yet they are allowed to have control of the stock. Mr. F. F. Pardee, the chief Liberal whip, describes this aspect of the situation as ' 'an absolute breach of faith on the part of this Government, and in permitting it they (the Ministers) are not standing by the interests of the people." Continuing, Mr. Pardee says: "Before one single dollar is given them Mackenzie and Mann should be told in the strongest terms: If you say that $45,000,000 will complete the road, if you believe that the road (Continued on page 3, column 5.) aw i Early Hi_.ory of British Columbia j (By James Codville, a fifty-eight'er ��������� | A GHASTLY FIND.-Concluded.

"To make the engine tender," politely replied the resourceful guide.���������Pennsylvania Punch. Some women are born shapely and some others need expert dressmakers.

Do not ask the people of Canada to get in and assume the whole load, which is almost too heavy to bear now, while you, Mackenzie and Mann, keep out and save your own hides." But the Borden Government and its supporters stand fast in loyalty to Mackenzie and Mann. The multi-millionaires will get more millions and the people pay the piper. The way of the grafter in the old country is hard. High military rank has not saved an officer of thirty-eight years standing from six months in the peneten- tiary.

For Freedom From the Interests. Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his followers are going to the battle with the courage of honest conviction.

One of the astonishing things about the Panama-Pacific Exposition is that the largest display by any foreign country will be by the oldest in continuous his- , tory and youngest in civilization.
