Array THE EVENING SUN ■i) VOL 1 GRAND FORKS AND COLUMBIA, B.C. MONDAY, MARCH 17, 1902. NO. 112 Will Meet Today to Discuss the Canadian Northern Land Grants. Victoria, March 17.—Mr. Martin has called a meeting of the so called provincial Liberal executive for this Monday afternoon, to discuss his position iu regard to the government's Canadian Northern bill, by which the enormous land grant is to be given. The convention at which Mr. Martin was selected as leader declared against land grants. KILLING TIME. Victoria, March 15.—The opposition forced Mr. Martin into a peculiar p isilion last night, when as an amendment to the address in reply Mr. Helmcken submitted a motion regretting the absence ot a protest against the disallowance ot the labor regulation act and the B. C. immigration act and declaring for their re-enactment. Mr. Murtiu said he entirely agreed with tbe amendment, but to vote lor it meant defeat of the government, and this he would not do. He made a strong speech, reasserting his old j contention that the province was within its rights in passing these Oriental exclusion measures, and cited similar legislation in Australia not disallowed He said that the Ottawa government had never shown that the bills were disallowed for imperial reasons, or because ot unconstitutionality, ana ho differed with Mr. Mills entirely on this point. However, he said the defeat of the government would cause chaos, and he would oppose the resolution. Mr. McBride made another ineffectual protest against the failure to issue the North Victoria writ. The redistribution bill has not yet been submitted, and it is said to be a cause of anxiety to the government. B. 0. OOLD FLILDS. Ottawa, March 15 -The bill retarding the United Gold Fields of British Columbia came up at the railway commitee yesterday, and on the suggestion of Mr. Blair it was held over to be re-cast. The bill is for a railway from Frank, Alberta, to Grassy mountain, in connection with the company's works. Mr. Blair said it would have to be framed as a railway bill. INDIGNANT PROTEST. London, March 15.—The official announcement yesterday of the abandonment of the proposed visit of King Edward and Queen Alexandra to Ireland, whereby the ministers assume the responsibility for an imperial boycott, is quite unprecedented in form, and caused much discussion, the general tone of which is distinctly adverse to the action of the cabinet, which is interpreted as displaying petty spite and epleen. THE METRIC SYSTEM. Washington, March 17.—The bill GOING HOME. Ottawa, March 17.— Sir Hibhert Tapper will leave for Vancouver today, and will not liktly return this session. THE CANCELLED VISIT. Dublin, March 15.—In an address delivered at a publ c meeting here, Earl (Jadogan, lord lieutenant ol Ireland, made a rather enigmatic reference to King Edward's abandoned wisit to Ireland After declaring that nobody was more disappointed in this matter than the king himself, with whom the idea of his visit had originated, and after expressing his own conviction that his majesty would have been most enthusiastically welcomed here, Earl Cado- gan said he shared the full responsibility with the other misisters for advising the king that the present was not an appropriate occasion for a visit, and this advise was given after tbe fullest consideration. The speaker said he refrained from characterizing the difficulties which had tendered the abandonment ol the visit opportune, but these, as tbey well knew, were deplored by a vast majority of the Irish people. Earl Cadogan said to adopt the weights and measures of! he was quite sure these difficulties the metric system as tbe standard for the United States, as introduced by Representative Shafroth of Colorado, were only of a tetnporay character, and that before long bis majesty would be able to carry out his wish, was ordered favorably reported by the I which was very near his heart, and house committee on coinage, weights , the realization ol which would be pro- and measures.

A political revolution is needed in this province to rid it of Dunsmuir and Martin, and several other politica frauds like them. Mr. Joseph Martin, finding himself on both sides of nearly all public and political questions of the day in Victoria, devotes much ot his valuable time explaining why he so often antagonizes himself, Juggler Joe should go down to Lin- nertim. Oregon, and get himself canne.l at the 0 d horse canning factory as meat. It would not be a greater Iraud than he is now end bvor lug to perpetrate on the people ol this province. Mr. Martin was recently sehcted as leader of the Island Lilierals. The convention at which he was chosen us such leader declared against land grants to railways, but Joe looks up serenely and supports tbe outrageous government proposal to the Canadian Northern. H» has now called a convention of his followers in order that he explain why he is compelled to repudiate them and himself.

The City of Columbia Is "situated near the junction of the North Forks of the Kettle river with the main Kettle river, and is distant about 800 miles east of Vancouver. The natural situation of the city for beauty Is not excelled in Ameriea. A verdure-clad and flower-bespangled rolling prairie, traversed bv a river of bright, sparkling waier, fringed with forest trees and surrounded by mountains, fortfiing a charming combination of pietnresquesiiess and grandeur The Columbia A Western railway, which was constructed by the Canadian Pacific Railway company, has its station, freight warehouse and yards in the center of Columbia, and the Vancouver, Victora A Eastern 'Bail- way company, has located its depot, freight sheds and yards along the east line of the Jcorporation, thus giving the city connections with two transcontinental lines. The Canadian Pacifle railway com- Eany has large interests in the city, aving selected the site on account of the superior natural advantages as a railway centre. The climate, taken all the year around,'is the best in Canadn—part of the summer is rather hot and dry, but the rest of the year is enjoyable. Throughout the Kettle River valley there is an extent «,( |ertile agricultural land, part of which is now being cultivated. Apples, plums, pears, prunes, cherries and all the small fruits grow abundantly. The valley surrounding Columbia, divided into small frnitand vegetable farms, will sustain a large population. Building material is plentiful in the district. Lumber can be procured at fair prices, and brick lime and stone of good quality can always be obtained when required. The mining interests are of the first importance to this country, and will do much to build up Columbia. Large mineral lodes have been discovered through the mountains adjacent to the city, and what were mere prospects a short time since are now large paying mines. Water is supplied the oity by pumping from a beautiful spring of excep tional purity, capable of supplying a city of 50,000 inhabitants. The Granby smelter and converter —the most modern and perfect plant of the kind in America—employing hundreds of men, is contiguous to the city, Owing to the fine climate, the central situation, the beautible environments, the bright prospects for future growth and prosperity, Columbia will be an educational centre, a city of homes, as well as a wholesale distributing point; and when finally allied and wedded to her sister sister, will be the best aud largest city in the interior.
