Probably you do not consider this necessary, however, as your complaints are to be threshed out before the railway commission. Youra truly. (Sgd) THOMAS HHAUGHNKHrtY.i President. Wattsburg, British Columbia April 7th, 1909. Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, President C P. Ry. Co., Montreal, Que., My very dear Hir Thomas -You have been and still are very dear to the people of this Dominion and it permitted would become still more expensive. I fondly imagined that with a few word pictures of some oi the sufferings of the people I would touch the better part of your nature. 1 regret you would have me believe that you do not deserve the tribute 1 paid you, viz : That you possess a great brain and also a large and sympathetic heart, but the majority of your subordinates apparently possess neither. It is so soothing to nurse the thought that men who have attained high positions still retain at least a shadow or a remembrance of their better or higher nature which is so superior tctht |6ve ot filthy lucre and power. Have you ceased to [eel that thc appreciation of your fellow men is of far greater value than either or both. True you are one whom your sovereign delighted to honor, but kings honor those who may be or have been of use to them; our king is an exception, if he knew it he would not bestow honors on modern Shylocks who demand not only their pound of fleah but ihe life blood of the victims as well. His majesty would not honor men who permit oppression or wink at its perpetration and shield the petty oppressors. The people honor those who will protect the helpless and listen to the cries of the distressed, und not those who dare to dub those cries as 'harangues." Now Sir, you say you want "specific causes of complaints." You shall have them as our American cousins say in "great plenty." If you will read the lfiO folios of the official report of the complaints I laib before the Board of Railway Commissioners at Nelson and that does not appease your appetite, I will supply enough to provide an epicurean surfeit, and stii mnrft to follow. On the evening after the sitting at Nelson I was surrounded by a crowd who were offering congratulations ; a person quietly asked could I spare him a few minutes; he described the hardships: and inconveniences the res idesnts of East Robson suffered through lack of accommodation for passengers and the delivery and receiving of goods, that that district was rapidly being tilled up with settlers who were clearing their land and some were cutting up the timber for firewood to obtain a temporary livelihood which they could sell if means of shipping were provided; the hardships cannot be understood without knowing the peculiar situation by tho description given. The railway pusses through the land and then crosses the river. And on tbe opposite side from them Is the only means of shipping. Therefore if a man wishes lo ship a car of wood < r any produce he has to haul It to the bank nf the river, put it on a boat, row it over, and haul it from the shore to the railway. Notwithstanding the fact that your railway runs through or pear to the land of the complainants who have appealed to your officials to allow them a siding or some means of recelvtug and delivering goods and some kind of accommodation for puss engers also. The next case the man who came, asked If 1 could assist him and his neighbours, a poor struggling farmer who has been for the past five or six years clearing land in the Moyie valley near Klngsgatu south nf Yahk, li, C, this man swore an affidavit before me to the following effect: "That I, Kdward Covcll, rancher, have resided near Klngsgate for six years, and prior to the construction of the Spokane International railway. That there was a public wagon road from Copeland, Idaho, to Yahk, 11. C, that I and' . many others used the road driving teams and wagons over It. That most of the said wagon road has been destroyed by the railway company and no other road pto- vided, communication is not possible for horses, wagons or stock without travelling on tbe railway track, the said track being laid on the old wagon road. In reply to this I asked "If I come and examine I presume you or your neighbors could1 provide a horse?" No sir, Said he, we only had one horse in the community and the train called the-'1 Spokane Flyer killed that. Now sir, your company destroyed the public road over which these people formerly got In their supp'lcs and the only wagon road between the United States aod Bast Kootenay ex cept the one from Montana, via Koo 1 fiMv.-'MtjJey tfi^Fort. Steele, about J? ".I FHrW-tfO-l* -j.„ lh nuni den times mini- JJnlted fltat- land other tor the cattle or other stunk Next case, ah affidavit sworn before me by Al A. Ward, Swansea valley, who declares ho is tlio owner pf I860 acres of good agricultural land in that valley, that there are man. thousands of acres of nnilile land around liis place with no means of transportation, that lie lias made application to the C.r.H. Co. to supply means of transportation without success. In consequence of the old wagon road being destroyed by your company and the nearest station named Swansea (which consists of a signboard only) being in an entire!} inaccessible place it being quite" [tripos- sible to take a wagon or other vehicle t oit from any point of the coin- pass. Further, the same complainant points out that he asked the terms for cars to he placet! for loading near his farm on your railway, but the terms or price demanded were .so very exhorbitant, being I understand $15 for two hours for the car standing on the main line, which in any case ought not to he permitted when express trains like thc Spokane Flyer, with a pace of nearly a mile a min- ut* arc passing, thereby endangering the lives of your employees, the public and cattle, (1 am led to infer that that is the way such tl'lfles are classified by Railway Companies.) I oinmitted to say that Mr. Ward, in his declaration points out that, your company between his and other ranches and the spot called a station In your schedules, lias lilieil in and covered up with rock tlie old wagon road to a depth of about 30 feet at a point where the roan passed under u high trestle, thus making it. impos sible for him or other producers to transport their produce either by road or rail to market. This case is further aggravated by the fact that thc assistant .commissioner of Lands and Works Informed your officials that they might only on certain conditions Ull in under the snid trusties, one nf thn conditions being that the public road twist he left open for a certain width under the trestles. Further, this work and the alteration and tlie tri'sUc work.wciv done without the consent of the Minister of Railways or tiu' i Uunrnls- sioners, a breach of the railway act and also of your agreement with the Dominion government. You say instead of harnnguo give me speciOc causes of complaint (harangue is popular oration) I um writing, not speaking. Read and digest ; several years ! since one of your minions hy chicanery obtained double the amount of the usual .right of way through one section of land from me for nothing. Later on another minion asked for right, of way through another lot ; Wattsburg had grown. 1 said, you have been using two stations for many years past, one east and one west, only two miles from Wattsburg at one station only a signboard, nt the other not even'that much, not a j resident, not n settler, not an indus-: try at either place. I have instituted { several industries.

Wattsburg bus earned the right to a station. 1 will give you ul! the right of way you want if you give me a station. Agreed, says your opinion. He sends his engineers and surveyors, makes the plans and tlie conveyance of the land. I Koop the latter for months awaiting the pro miscd agreement regarding the station, it never comes, I am pressed to sign conveyance on his word of hon- >r« The agreement will come; It did not conic; I signed the agreement hut Inserted that, besides the $1.00 consideration, "That provided a station be granted for Wattsburg." Your company registered the document.

Is over, IVrger's teams No. I and No. '>, driven by fScotty Allen and Percy bUitehford. have pulled down the $11,000 in gold, and will hold for a year the Butter trophy hung up for tho all-Alaska sweepstakes. Winner's time, 82 hours i 1 minutes; distance 112 miles, Nome to Candle < nek ami return. Although there was some hope that Fink's team would pull into second place, the final course became a grueling contest and ended with Btatspb- tord 17 minutes beh.nd Allen. Mopes that had be«-n pinned to the strength" and lleetness of the Siberian team, upon which $100,000 was posted last Hatiirday. were dashed when the team became snow blind. No sporting event in the history of the north has held so much interest as that of the Nome-Candle ( iee\ dog race, promoted by the Nome Kennel club, and few events In any sporting line have seen tlie changing of as much money on a single event as tlie all-Alaska sweeps! a kes.

Indigestion Stomach trouble li but a symptom of, and not ta Itself a true disease. We think of Dyspepsia, Heartburn, and Indigestion as real diseases, yet ■hey are symptoms only of a certain specific Nerve sickness—nothing else. It was this fact that first correctly led Dr. Shoop to the creation of that now wry popular stomach Remedy-Dr. Shoop's Restorative. Going direct to the stomach nerves, alone brought that success and favor to Dr. Shoos and his Restorative. With. out that original and highly vital principle, no auch lasting accomplishments wen* ever to be had. For stomach distress, bloating, biliousness, bad breath and sallow complexion, try Dr. ShoopU Restorative—Tablets or Liquid—and see for your- ■elf what it can and will do. We sell and cheer- fully recommend Dr. Shoop's Restorative 6EATTIE & ATCHISON.

A lieutenant ol the Hritish navy 1ms planted tlie British flag within 111 miles of the south pole.

There is no use hullding Dreadnoughts when Count Zeppelin can so easily destroy them from his airship. On the other hand there is no use having an airship now that a gun has been invented that can bring airships fluttering earthward like prairie chickens in the shooting season. * * • According to coast press reports, a numher of Hussian laborers arrived at Vancouver on the steamship Mont- eagle, who are being sent to Prince Hupert to work on the (1. T. P.. also that the foreigners are working under an arrangement somewhat similar to the Italian padrone system. Immigration to the west has started this season a little earlier than usual. It is also noteworthy that farmers from ihe United Seates are among tlie first arrivals, and that they are appearing in largo numbers. The* 1909 season should prove the greatest in the history of southeast Kootenay. Prince Rupert is to have six news papers, once lots in the township are sold. One is to be financed by the G. T. P., and edited by the McBride wing of the conservative party; another is to be financed by the Liberal party nnd edited hy a conservative now in the employ of the Victoria Times; a third is to be financed by a real estate syndicate and managed and edited by a club president resident in Prince Rupert; a fourth is to he financed bj a syndicate of Liberals who were to finance Skeena distriet for conservative candidate Mike Man- son and is to bo edited and managed by an ex collector of tbe port of Prince Rupert; a fifth is io he owned by Toronto capitalists and managed iu the interests of the Canadian bank nf Commerce ami other employers of Asiatic labor. The Umpire is to pass into the hands of Pat Daly and Bill Blauchlield, who will use it as a club to beat brains into the heads of ihe workingaien. Kmpire. Thc. Dominion estimates for this year show that, twenty odd baits that had been dangled in the eyes of the more gullible voter have been drop ped, having become too stale for the average sucker. The seven thousand live hundred dollar public buildings foi" Cranbrook vanlscd like a castle ln the Arabian Knights. Thc terrific applause with which lhe announce ment made by Mi'. Gnlllhor was re reived that he had placed on thc estimates the said amount for a public building for Cranbrook is well remembered. This bait had been held out in three successive estimates and the failure to swallow by a cautious public gave a mucins to thc humiliating transaction. Duncan Rosa' government building at Quosnol passed out of existence, as did Duncan himself forever.

In this v«ry name preBB which announced thnt the Kootenay (Vntrni railroad would be constructed we find the statement m>w made that the reason lor the withdrawn! of these men was that the Canadian Pacific Hallway Com* pany were about to (loastruct the Ar- rowllCftd ami Kootenay Itnilway. Wo me peculiarly situated in this part of Hritish Columbia. In that the rail roods have to follow the easiest lines to (ret throng" the great mountain ranges ami make connection with the outside world, and although these plocofl of road are short In themselves it is necessary that they should he constructed In order to develop that putt uf the province. The amendment whicli I otter is a fair and reasonable one, Inasmuch us It simply asVs that thoy shall const met only ili per cent of the total mileage, covered by the charter, und no doubt some of the members, of the committee ivjll he sur prised to know that IB per cent amounts to only six or seven miles. Thnt docs not seem much of an enterprise for a meat corporation like tlie Oaimdian Pacific Hallway tn un rtertnlto In view of the fact that in their notices In the dally papers and in this very hill itself ttu-y suy they will commence the construction of this railroad within two years. When the hill wns before the railway com uiltlee the minister of. railways very juslly told ns thnt he hnd received ri'MiihitiotiH from hoards of trade urging him to make provision thnt the company should constrict this line Immediately. There has been discussion in the railway committee over the formation of some definite scheme to compel companies npplying for 1 . charters to demonstrate thett-J)tt»",*ff" '"'■'' fides by constructing wiy-'- *^ ' uhle time the rallwa; charters they , mind there is nol penalty indeed it is no pei at all to ask this company to show their bona tides by constructing with in 2 years 15 per cent, of thc mileage included In the charter. If I hud a map i could show the committee that this line runs from hardo to Arrowhead. The Arrowhead brunch has nl ready been constructed under another charter and runs from the main line of thc Canadian Pacific railway at Hevclstoke to a point on the Arrow hikes, a portion of the Columbia river, Hy completing this small link of IH miles they will ImVO a Hue giving access to that rich tract of country, opening up mines and agricultural lands. The settlers who have gone In there and the capitalists who have in vested money there will he enabled to reap some reward for their lubor and investment. 1 appeal to the commit tee for support of this amendment as a business proposition- BUILDERS .\.\D CONTRACTORS I'llnNi: in IMI.
