Mr. Dunca'n Ross of Yale-Cariboo made, a speech which for   re-  j search an-d painstaking  preparation   will  easily'rank, as one of  ! the records of Parliament.-  British Columbia has teen  heard from on the. Asiatic question and its voice is unitedly in  favor of exclusion, if possible,  but ol" regulation at all cost.  The subject was introduced in an  admirable speech by Mr. Ralph  Smith of Nanaimo, and was followed bv four other speakers, of  which it is no exa-noeratiou to  say that that of Mr. Duncan Ross  is easily the best summing-up of  British Columbia's attitude yet  given. It was a remarkably able  presentation of the case of the  "Cinderellaof the Confederation,'  who. after believing; that she had  come into her days of" sunshine  -through the progressive policy of  tbe Laurier Government, now  finds her progress darkened by  the cloud  of  tbe   Yellow  Peril.  ' Mr. Ralph Smith's presentation  of the'case was a statesmanlike  view of the situation. Mr. R. G.  Macphersou aud Mr. Sloan went,  a little further and talked more  vehemently than the member for  Nanaimo.   Mr. Duncan Ross coa-  1  tributcd a speech which should  do much to awaken Eastern Can-  Mp. to the real ^dangers of the  Yellow Peril and which should  receive wide publicity. .  rinl<s, in which tli--;**, -vere tip**k n.n-1  neck until ihe eitfhlh fir), when Dill  in the nevt twn, out.'Jfnerilod Mar* a'id  won b*v four point* Two rinl****** were  penalized Ln*;t ever.

From one  end  of the   immense   constituency to  the other the results of his labors  are in  evidence. ��� From  Quesnel  in the far north to the southernmost limits of the riding, work is  now going  on    which will  have  far-reaching effects ou the future  prosperity of the country.    Take  the   work   being   prosecuted   at  Cottonwood Canyon, above Quesnel.    The necessity for this work  isonlyofthis year's development  yet Mr. Ro~s grasped the   situation and with uo flourish of trumpets he secured a grant of $15,000  which will free the river of boulders at  the canyon  this  winter,  and-make the  Fraser   navigable  next spring to within a fewtmiles  of Fort   George.     In   this   one  stroke   Duncan   Ross   has   done  more  to   open   up   the aorthern  country to settlers lhan the   McBride Government has done since  it   came   into power.    A road is  badly needed along the Fraser between Quesnel and Fort George,  but as yet the Proyincial authorities have   turned   a  deaf ear to  the protests of   the men who are  struggling under a heavy handicap to open for settlement another  great valley of  rich agricultural  possibilities! It is to be presumed  that   the   McBride    Government  was too- busily.engaged  bringing  off their great  financial coup to  stoop   to   consider   such a   very  small matter, as the opening   up  of a couple   of   million acres   of  rich agricultural territory."

' It has.  however,'been felt all .along that  the B. C. Copper company would  open as soon, as the coast was  clear, and the Times sees.no reason to change its opinion-in this  regard.

In the Boundary, we would like  to see an, enthusiastic Canadian  spirit. The fear of the Easterner  that British Columbia's constant  intercourse with the people south  of the Border tends to make the  danger of a seperation of this  province from the Dominion great  is a vagary of vagariees. Coming  from the East, one is surprised at  the souudness of the Canadian  spirit here. May it ever increase.  May our reverence for law and  justice, our couviction that this  country shall and must be the  home of free and assimilative  peoples grow more and more.  These are two things in which  the New Year holds for as possibilities of progress. With them  Briiish Columbia will' stand unequalled among the provinces of  the Dominion and among the  countries of the world.  Let us see to it that they  are ours.  EDITORIAL NOTES.

Writing a New Year's Editorial  seems to have become somewhat',  of a chestnut���one of the things  which happen again and again in  our lives, so that they cease to  have a meaning. But the New  Year never fails to come around  and as it is one of the natural  halting places where we consider  the progress we have made and  what the future seems to hold,  we stop ah we have done before to  ruminate over what has been and  is to be. <���  In the mind of everyone  there is one thing which is  not, but is to be desired���set-  led labor conditions.

It is reported that' both East  and West Kooteuays are to-be  represented in the senate. In  East Kootenay the name of  Colonel Fred E. Simpson, the  "Old Man" of the Cranbrook  Herald, is being mentioned as the  right man to represent that rich  district iu the senate. In West  Kootenay several good men are  reaching out for the plum. If  the "Old Man" gets it in East  Kootenay it means that in the.  senate there will be one man .with  brains in ,his upper level. Mr.  Simpson has worked fcr the upbuilding of East Kootenay for  years, and is one of. the-best  posted men in the province. He  is a loyal supporter of Sir Wilfrid  Laurier and has' won rnauy a haid  fought battle for the liberal party.  Although American by birth, he  is the most patriotic, Canadian  in the Dominion.

It acts as a powerful tonic  to the kidneys, forcing them to filter  out the acids and poisons, overcoming rheumatism, lame back, sciatica  and other afflictions arising from  sour, impure blood.  The ingredients can be procured at  any good drug store, and being purely  vegetable and entirely harmless, can  easily be mixed at home.
