Me saitl that the motive which animated these important and respected citi/ens wus worthy of all praise and met with his approbation, hut he nright be permitted to observe thai if the question of imperial defense has been introduced into the domain of contentious polities, the blame is not to be imputed to anyone sitting on the, opposition side of the house. When, four years ago, Mr. Foster introduced in a concrete form this subject the Liberals were then in control of the house and tliey did not receive liis motion in any corresponding spirit. Sir Wilfrid then, quoted the resolution unanimously adopted by tiie house in March. IflOO, and said lhe Liberals had received the proposition sympathetically. They had suggested that It would be advisable to enlarge it and to hrlng il in the broader basis ol imperial defense in view especially of ihe new condition which was then and had been for some time arising in IrSuropr. lie was hound to say thai the Conservatives had accepted some amendments which were made hv the governmenl ( the dav The original motion was then passed by the unanimous voice of parllamenl • Sir Wilfrid at tbis point again quoted the resolution adopted in 1909 and went on to say that Hunk was scarcely drk upon tt before i was assailed frnm the ranks of the Conserv.nive partv, assailed from motives divergent and contradictory, ne section affirming that the duty f Canada Inward the empire wouhl noi dp properly discharged by the ■(instruction of the Canadian navy, but ih.ii the nnly manner tn which ibis duty could he discharged was hy utrihutioii from the Canadian In the Imperial treasury The other section protested and have been protesting againsl the very idea cither of the contribution or construction ol n navv Tims was Introduced with i vengeance mt,, contentious politics tbe question of imperial defence, and it also brought nut passions which it had heen Imped were burled, but Which were easily broughl to light again. It could nol be denied, said Sir Wilfrid, thai the result in the lasi contest was affected by these fenl- [nga Undei such circumstances ihere might perhaps be some tempta. Hon tn retaliate ami create political capital tint nf the difficulties nf those wi it upy the treasury benches— difficulties which had resulted in the resignation of one of the most Important ol tbeir ministers—but the subject was too ureal ami too sacred "By such methods wo will not he Impelled to act I have stated it before and I now repeat, and I think l have been Hue to mv pledge, that never would I utti-r a word which would be Calculated to fall the (lame which unfortunately this subject has broughl Into existence in tbe con* ■(deration ol the measure which has been brought down we will be guided hy its merits and hy its merits alone." Sir Wilfrid remarked thai Mie premier bad stated, when making his proposals to the bouse, that be was animated by no other purpose than to promote! tbe welfare of Canada* and of the empire. He was glad to meet him upon this ground. If they differed as to the policy presented, it is because thev are frankly convinced that the policy which each advocates is more conducive to thp end which each has in mind. The Country waited with great Impatience for tbe premier's announcement, said Sit Wilfrid, ami now, after consultation with the admiralty, the announcement had been made. Mr. Asquith, Mr. Churchill, and Sir Rdward Orey bad again and again asserted thai Kngland had nn enemy, ami tbal sbe was randy fnr all rum- ers, still ihere was apprehension somehow, somewhere; some mysterious enemy was tfoieateniti** Kngland (Indeed, some went sn far as to say Ihat Kngland was nn hei* knees hogging for support, an assertion wbieh surely was more calculated to wound the pride of tlmse tn whom it was addressed than to create respect ror those wbn uttered il. All these apprehensions, however, have been removed by the document which was placed on the table of the house. Sir Wilfrid continued: "England, is always England. She bows tho knee skis nn favor from ies not come here till less as a moitdi- uti-uny nf our ininii 'Hero are the this paper, Judge to no anybody. Slu as a suppl lean cant; hut in isters sue atisv facts set forlli for yourselves she id acl as JOtl please This* is the language and it is nn other than we could expect frnm Knglish statesmen and lhe English people. In other respects there is cause fnr rejoicing.

Knglaml, This statement wns groetr cries of "Nn, no." | Sir Wilfrid said I hear some gentle* hut he could nol The faeis were tot glad t<> think, i nl ilur rvatlv* b^ he was gl; en say "No, no,' ceepl thai denial patent. He wa: ■wevpr. thai ther •1 t« men in Quebec who will nol recognize this truth we would appeal lo them from aunt ber view point—-from ibe baser motive of sellisbness. Canada has been immune from invasion frnm the sea ever since Canadians became subjects of England In 1703. "Bul who can s.ii today," he continued, "that we are no longer Immune from invasion In the sea? At tbe end of the seventeenth century there were only three maritime powers in Europe—England, France and Spain. In 1805 at Trafalgar the naval forces of France and Spain were crushed. Spain never recover ed from the blow but Franco, with ber, marvellous recuperative powers, soon built a navy second only* tn that of England. The mny ol France ranks today second or third among those of ibe different countries nf Europe, but happily we have nothing to fear from Franco, The entente cnrdiale bas broughl Franco ind England,together and war between Lltoso countries would bo regarded by nther nations as equivalent ivil war in any nne of them. I have beard tbal the late queen said on one occasion she would rather die than see war between England and France. The good queen did not live to see accomplished that dream of her life—sbe did imt see th* enleii ie cordinlc—bul il was left in her sun to accomplish il ami we today receive ibe heneiil of ,il " Sir Wilfrid said Dial there is a maritime power in whieli Canada was opposed, altlium-.il lie was nnt ap prehensivc of attack; bul all musi agree that when increased armaments are going on we cannol afford to be idle and rest upon mu own security It had heen said in Quebec that v,c could rely on tbe Monroe doctrine To anyone wbn believed Hus. lie would refer the record ol Cuba after the Spanish-American war. When lhc Cubans were deslrious of remo> ing the yoke of Spain they appealed to the United Slates for help and they got H. Hut when, wilh lite SS sistancr of tbe United Stales they had freed themselves from the yoke >f Spain they found they had a dear price to [.ay for lhe help ihey bad received. That price wm the abau dniimeut of a portion of tholr indep endencc. After the war was over lhe people of Cuba wauled a con stituHnii of tbeir own. ilut that constitution had to go to Washington'for revision and conditions wen Imposed distasteful tn the Cuban people. Sir Wilfrid continued that this view musl In have to take our share nnt nnly of our native the empire as a who our duties, was not by contribution, but by the creation of a Canadian navy." Here Sir Wilfrid read portions ol Mi. Uorden's speech of 1U0I), in whicb tbe then opposition leader spoke of preparing the soil of Canada for a Canadian navy. "Four years ago our In iblo leadei said, we must, ami we will. li- m Today and will; b house wo c My right b lieutenants longer ays we must this side of the UltlMlf tu •Tbat shows discarded We fi tin* defense bores, hut of . sn that we was nu such spirit prevailing now. This harmful doctrine bas been preached fnr months, and the preaching had left behind it au Impression much mnn* east to create than ll is now to destroy. Continuing, Sir Wilfrid said: "We had wrongfully heard throughout the province of Quebec thai we owe nothing to England because she had sacrificed our interests concerning tbo adjustment uf tbe boundary between the United Stales and Canada For his uwn pari to sometimes stated that in such questions Hritish dip lomacy lias not nften shown itself to advantage, but we are imt to draw the cono)us!on from tins thai England was IndllTorenl in our interests. Nothing Of the kind Neither are we to draw the conclusion that Enclaml desired to make no saerIflees in,our interests The only conclusion we can reasonably draw is tliat in these matters liritisli dip lomatlsts weie nut as well Informed as those of thc Cnited States. This shows conclusively that local matters nre better dealt with hy those responsible fm* local administration, i The fact is umienftible thai practical-. ly ever since we have had lu our hands the conduct nf mir diplomatic relations Canada bas suffered no sacrifice. Sir Wilfrid Instanced the rase of the Atlantic fisheries dispute in proof of his contention "nig nations Ifkp bin men," he said later on, "ore not jealous nr envious of Hie success of others and there dues nnt exist Ihe necessih fm ia) Ing wbat we owe to Kngland. We .ire British subjects sn we dn not want to hi' anything else—ami thai settles the whole question." Sir Wilfrid said thai if there are •an defend ourselves unit by the a distance of the mother country. Nov.

As a result nl armament. whicli an* now going on in Europe, the margin of secuiiH whieh England relies on for her own defence she bas been obliged to maintain b! reducing the naval forces in the outlying seas. Such i*. tbe condition, and I ask once more, what is the remedy'' "In our humble judgment, the tpni- cdy is this—that whcrevoi on the distant spas oi ia the distant coun Hies.

The reason Is well known. There is one and only one. And It is because this subject of imperial defence bas been made tlte subject ol contentious politics it is the result, of the alliance—of the unholy alliance—which has been formed by the ouorablo gentlemen ol \ti<- toi ei pposition.

SIR HUB .TIM? Nil VIEWS It is somewhat amusing to read lho expressions ol approval of certain leaders in the Tory tanks, ot Premier Borden's proposed naval policy, iu the light of the utterances of Uie same men some months earlier. , Our own chiei statesman, Sir Richard McBride, up to tho lime of Mr. Borden's announcement inn) vlg nrnusly ami iu unqualified language demanded a Pacific coast unit. The moment Horden spoke and pul the possih-ilttj nt a Pacilie coast unit mil, of the question, fnr many years to come, Sii Uicliurd held up both hands mr his lender's policy, entirely forgetful of all his previous eloquent declarations, and ol bis trip to Ottawa to Interview ibe mlnlsirj this very subject. Hut ridiculous as is Sir Itichard Mcllride's present altitude, it pales into Insignificance, when compared with the complete right about laco of that veteran Tory leader Sir ('buries Tupper. It will have been recalled, that Sir Charles, like his understudy, Sir Richard, lias declared unreservedly in favor of premier Borden's naval policy. Let us read from bis own pen, just what be thought on this naval question so recently as November 20, 111(1.1. In 18!H, Lord Salisbury requested a deputation from Tbe Imperial Federation League to prepare and submit some scheme, Tbey appointed a committee; the committee failed, and tbe league dissolved (181)3), Sir Charles Tapper was a member ol the committee. In its consultations, he bud to light those wbo proposed colonial contributions; and, afterwards, he wrote as follows: "Knowing as 1 do that the most active members td the committee were mainly intent on levying a large eontrihution on the revenues ol tbe colonies for the support of the army and navy of Greal Britain, 1 am delighted to have been utile, almost single-handed, to obtain such a tepmt from such a committee." In 1900, shortly after tbe naval and, lilitary conference ol that year (July and August) nt whicb the \us- Iralian plan of contribution to the Hritish navy was nbnndoned, and the scheme of local i,.ivies (fnr which Canada bad always contended) had been adopted both by Australia and thc admiralty, Sir Charles Tupper wrote to Mr. Borden the following letter: The Maunt, Hexley Heath.

LABOR TO FIGHT MCBRIDE GOVERNMENT VANOOl VEH ISLAM! COAL MIN Kits GREATLY OUTRAGED MV IMPORTATION OF ORIENTAL WORKERS. Victoria, II. ('., Itcc. IH.—It is understood that Mr. .lohn -Inrdinc, Vancouver Island's representative upon the recently wetted royal commission on labor, is strenuously urging that body lo lose no time in visiting Cumberland, the center of present discontent seriously affecting the cnal production industry, with a view to the presentation ol an interim report thereupon in advance of Die mooting of the legislature in •lauuary, so that recommendations with the object uf satisfactorily end mi; the present situation may he given immediate effect. The commission is to hold its organization meet int; here oil the 2Kth Inst*, when its plan of procedure will he considered and decided upon. Firm friends of the administration in the, directly interested districl arc much exercised over what they regard as a grave tactical blunder on the part of the government in dealing with, the Cumberland strike situation by granting an inquiry into the grievances of the men when it was first applied for, and thereby averting not only much suffering on the part of the workers and their families, but also provincinlly-widc inconvenience in a mid-winter shortage of coal, and very serious disarrangement of the export trade. Instead, the policy has been -adopted of spending from $15,01,0 to 150,000 of public money in a quite unnecessary maintenance of a large police force, the presence of which has been fully taken advantage of by the operators to introduce Oriental strikebreakers to the number of about 700. "Thc result will inevitably be," says one Cotnox Conservative, "a strong, well hased white labor attack upon lhe government at the lirst opportunity in which labor men ■ of independent views, Socialists, Liberals and a gooh many hitherto staunch Conservativts will tind com mon ground, and which In every pro liability will lose the government ami tlm party at least four island seats."

Tht* Coliseum on South Wnbnsh avenue, Chicago, is far from being an ideal building for an agricultural exhibition, the most .serious defect being the total exclusion of daylight ami the consequent necessity of using electric light even in the day time. The construction of tlie place does not permit of big, striking effects as do the lofty aisles and transepts of the main building at Lethbridge. The Coliseum is essentially an ugly building and was erected away hack in 189ft when it was never expeeted that such pressure would be thrown oa its space as is now common. In form It is a parallelogram surround- with galleries and covered with a rounded roof. However, lavish decoration, glowing exhibits, all kinds of lighting devices made the place a veritable fairy land. When all was ready for the opening tbe old structure was gay enough to satisfy anybody- Splendid music helped to make things brighter. Taken -ill iu all, it was a really splendid show and worthy of the great city in which it was staged. They called the exhibition .. Land Show, but it was, of course, an ex- hibitioa of tbc products of the land ot nearly even* state In the union iu addition to British Co lumbia, Alberta, Saskatche wan and Manitoba. The rait- way companies, notably the (ireat Northern, the Soo Line and ito Chicago North Western, spared no expense to advertise their railway systems the lands they have for sale and the scenery along their lines The CNR. had the very pick of the fruit of the State of Washington in its stall Hanked ou all sides with transparencies, showing the lakes and glaciers of Qlactet Park, Montana. The exhibits of Alberta. Saskal chewan and Manitoba were naturall) very strong and effective in wheal and cereals of all kinds. Those responsible for staging tlmse exhibits are singularly expert at grouping and flivplaving their specialties Thc shape ami extent of any Space taken at any exhibition is carefully con side red ami a scheme ol decoration having been devised) i series ol pan els is made up carrying scutcheons anil ilcvices in wheat, barley, "-it-, 01 rye to cover the root, back ami sides of the booth Whu. the evhih it gets to the show building every* thing is m readiness .imt all thai is necessar) Is to tack up the panels and the shell of their temporary home is completed and it only re mains tn put iti the mam features * I the exhibit British Columbia put up what was admitted bt all to be the most cf fret i.e. massive and ailistic displ,.\ to be .seen iu the Coliseum, llun dredi of boxes nt nil the mi varieties Ol apples were massed on a slope from the back nf the booth clear Up to the limit o| permitted height with tlie initials ol the province "B.C." worked nut in twn colootl letters made nl the llght-ei colored fruits-such as Crimes' Oolden and tireeiiings—in the center These let Ms bv their contrast with the rest, ol lhe fruit COUld be seen al! over the building The edges ol the boies were covered with green and gold silk rlbbOH The (runt of the main exhibit and the side tables were ele gBQtlj drain*! with green velvet \ .m Doe effecl was prodoeed hi pots ot growing Item, interspersed with Shallow wicker Qypsy baskets, idled with tan. t rarletle nl apples The handles of these little baskets were finished with bows ol rill, ribbon cnrrespomiing with tlie general color scheme shields covered wllh thd gold, silver and bronze medals won by the province all mer the world for fruit, were mother striking feature. Tlw place of honor was given to the Stillwell cup won by B C at New York last vear for potatoes in competition with every state in America. On the side tables were shown fruits and llowers preserved in some liquid which shows even the very bloom on tbe plum or the grape, 'in an adjoining booth, tie- corn ted like (lie main exhibit, were shown the minerals, grains, vegetables, tobacco, cigars, honey, preserves and the exhibit of lhe C. S and H- Co. The design was thought* out and worked out bv Mr W. Iv Scott. No matter how clever men mar heat decorating It still takes tlie itides rrlbable feminine touch of womanlv refinement to impart the sense ot . accomplished elegance lo a home, or a man, or a nation or a booth at |uu exhibition. It was Mrs. W. E, Scott, wife of the deputy minister of agriculture, wlm put on the Iinal touches to the B.C, exhibit and stamped it with character, energy and artistic feeling of our people. It can he said al once tliat B.C. losl nothing in the way of effective dis play of au exhibit of fruit, grain, niiiiciuls ami tobacco which were ud llllttodly the best in the building Imitation is the ailiuerust form nf (lattery, The It. C. apples made such an impression that every booth in the place, no matter what else it had to attract attention, got hold nl a hOX or two of apples. Kvcn Louisiana, where they can no more grow apples than we can grow oranges, followed suit. It is a curious thing that apparently the one lest whieh the enormous Chicago public- appears to apply to any state is its ability to grow the big, red, juicy apple. We had no trouble in showing them tliat B.C. could fill the bill in that regard. The next question would he as to the climate. Wasn't it fearfully cold up there? The apples, pears, plums und cherries answered that question clearly enough and thc sight of thc grapes and tobacco clinched their newly formed opinion of the country. All the same, it was surprising what a knowledge they had of the coast and the country around Fort Oeorge and the Nechaco Valley. The Kootenay country they knew of in a general way, but of Nelson, Creston or Cranbrook they had never heard. Literally thousands of enquiries about Prince Rupert, Fort Oeorge, the Fraser Valley, the Coast, Victoria, Vancouver, and so on, and not a word about the Okanaban, Nelson, Creston or the Windermere as places suitable for location. That Is what advertising can do. That is the result, in great part, of the work of the Orand Trunk Pacific company and of thc Natural Resources Development company, which is operating so extensively in the Fort George country. Why don't we take a leaf out of their book? Why don't we act on the courage of our convictions and let the world know what we think of ourselves? If we want a share of the coining rush into this province we must advertise our country. To put it in plain terms we are failing in our puhlic duty in that regard and if others come in to beat the bush and make the bird of profit fly to the stranger we have only ourselves to thank for the result of our apathy. The exhibition opened each morning—Sundays as well as week-days—" nt 11 am. and closed at 11 p.m. Buring all those dozen hours the place was simple packed and a number of firemen had to keep the crowds moving ni order to prevent an actual blockading ol the aisles. They are a wonderfully smart, clear wilted people those Chlcagoans. A man ac impanled by two nr three others rould bear down on the booth. Bright eved and quick as a gun trig ger he WOUld ask two or three questions going to the very root ot the mattei. and then: "Vou bet, boys. that's the land up there Cm going np and the wife is coming, too" One man, evidently a mechanic, told the twiter be was coming to III', lust because be knew tliat there the law was respected "1 know that from m\ brother who is up there," said he "1 wan'' to net where the dollar i^n't everything, I have worked hard every daj nl my life and what have I tor it now! Uardlv my health even I'll gn where the skies are clearer and I'll hung the sons wilh me So long " It is uu conviction that the land Shuw exhlbHton at Chicago will be Ihe means of bringing thousands upon thousands into this province, immigrants ol the very hest class This ionsummat-lon was verv materially helped by the System of public lectures adopted fnr advertising the resources nl the province. These lee- lures weie shared between Mr. W. E. S«nlt, the deputy minister of agriculture, and the writer. These were Illustrated either wit*-1 colored stere- optlcon views or else with motion pictures, were delivered four times a dny to tree audiences which simply packed the balls set apart for this purpose. A terrible megaphonist. with a voice like the blast of Gabriel's trumpet}, would announce from the gallery, 'Ladies and Gentlemen, a grand illustrated lecture on British Columbia will now be delivered in Lecture Hall A. British Columbia, Bight away. Indies and gentlemen, tor tbe highly interesting lecture." This lecturing feature is entirely admirable and the motion pictures showing scenes In the logging camps, lhe fisheries nml mines are a wonderful educational medium. Never a lecture would pass without a crowd of people following the lecturer ovei Ito tbe booth for further Information almiii the climate, the laws, or the .opportunities of the province. The writer used to sum It. all up fn about .this formula. "Spiralling generally, ! a man who taken earn to see for himself what be* is buying, can hardly make a mistake by Investing iu B.C. land or lots. The opportunities of the province aro as good and as great as was offered by the place where Chicago now sits to those who were here eighty oi .seventy years ago." Owing to the enormous crowds and the consequent vitiation of the air iu the building, the work in the booth and the icctuie room was exhausVing in lhe lasl degree. Hut it wus all Intensely Interesting and once the work got under way it was to he enjoyed keenly—UOtll another long day of il had to he faced. We had with us Mr. M. S. .Middle- tun, of Nelson, the provincial horticulturist, who is so well and favorably known by all nur fruit growers in the Cranhrook locality; .Mr. Shot- bolt, of Victoria, aud lhe Messrs lohnson, of Vernon, all mighty workers and keen demonstrators. The most obliging fellows in the world, withall. It was a pleasure lo work with them and doubly a pleasure lo be associated in the work with Mr. W. E. Scott, who in every possible regard was the perfection both ol courtesy and consideration. Thc show closed at 11 p.m. Sunday, 8th instant. When the writer left everything was in place and in perfect order. The next morning when he visited the place it was changed beyond all belief. The interior of the vast building, where a few hours belore all things were seemly and in order, looked as if a tornado had first wrecked the whole show and that the devil aud ull his imps of darkness had finished the destruction by having a special brand af war-dance in the midst of the ruins. It appeared that au order had gone forth from the owners of the Coliseum that everything iu the place had to be packed and cleared away inside twenty-four hours in order to have the decks cleared for a big poultry show. Messrs. Middlcton, Shotbolt and both Mr. Johnson, sr., and his son, had in consequence of this order been working all night aud were simply blear eyed with toil and want of sleep. But thc work was got through, just like everything else is got through in Chicago. The work simply has got to be done and there's an end of it. All the mineral exhibits will coino back to Cranbrook where the writer will try to perfect arrangements to, have them placed as a permanent exhibit on the platform,nf the t'l'.K. depot. There they will be properly shown in a suitable ease, protected from the weather, and kept free from dust, etc, hy plate glass panels. The Hon. Priee Ellison said that for tbe one who saw what Cranbrook had to show at Lethbridge a thousand would see it at Chicago. It would he nearer the mark to say live thousand Cranbrook has done well in this thing. l-t-t us see that she will be ready to grasp the next opportunity which offers for making her mark in foreign dimes. Tt is up to the Board of Trade and lhe Agricultural Association to grasp the fact that Cranhrook moves towards the position which rightly ts hers, and to Bee to it. therefore, that there be no retrogression or reaction- i. The responsibility is theirs and the public mav lie trusted to insist that responsibility cheerfully undertaken and discharged by other cities shall not be skirked and scamped bv those who have taken similar duties upon them in Cranbrook P-1H1E CONTRACTOR ■!. J. WOOD HAS COMPLETED HIS WORK AT ST. EUGENE MISSION. The contract for the Indian Industrial school at the St. Kugene Mis sion, is about completed and the handsome structure will very shortly be occupied by the Indian boys and girls, at present quite inadequately accommodated in the old buildings. The views nf tbe building, published herewith, unfortunately' do not convey as clear an idea of the imposing architectural features of this new- building, as at the time they were taken, building operations were not quite completed. The dominion's care of its Indian wards has always been a subject ol earnest concern upon the part ot Ihose in authority, and in providing these handsome and commodious quarters for the Indian children of South East Kootenay, the department is but extending its useful work along tho healthiest lines. Let it be borne in mind tbat the' department of Indian affairs In tlie government of Canada is a trustee in charge of the affairs of the Indian population ol this country ami is also their guardian or general agent as well us acting ns a responsible, reliable and respected "mediator" between Ihem ami all parties; still further it is responsible for Llielr education, mentally, morally ami physically. No small undertaking is this hi view oi ihe numerous and varied interests ever contending to destroy lt noble, much-abused nnd mis-judged race nf humanity. In this work the departmeni has hitherto received splendid, most gen eroUS and thoroughly competent assistance from tlte various religious bodies through their missionaries. These bodies have borne a large poi lion of the cost ni maintaining ihe numerous missions ami schools either directly or Indirectly ami tlie sure co-operation is likely to continue indefinitely. Bul the ever-changing omiiimns of modern civilization keeps raising tbe standards for tlio white population and naturally the department nr Indian affairs is obliged to improve its methods aud aim at higher achievements in its dealings with and in behalf ni the Indians, otherwise it, would he untrue to its trust, the record ol which is the secret ol its excellent control of that race of people. To lose the respect nf the Indians would bc disastrous as well as a hint upon nur civilization. Such was not to he allowed. Consequently tho departmeni has been persistent in requiring of the religious bodies in charge nl the mis slons and schools higher and bvpi better training along sanitary, mor al and eilufaliini.il Hues, which re qulrements hate heen mel as far as possible with Hie menus placed at their disposal in the department, hut ihere calm' a slam* when it he came evident thai ll would ho Impossible to continue without some improvement in ihe buildings and appliances supplied bj the department generally or else the customary methods of educating the Indians would have to be nltered. Having secured much more satisf actor j results in its methods of handling the Indian affairs with its proven policy than had the countn to the south ol, us, it was therefore accepted as natural that the present policy should bo maintained antl the necessary steps taken to make this possible, especially iu view nl the fact that the Canadian governmenl has spent much 'ess per capita on iis Indian population than the i nited States and accomplished much lietiet results, It also had ample funds available to carry out its contemplated improvements. In deciding upon its future policy il was wisely guided by llie advice of the missionaries collaborating In a convention h?ld at Ottawa in l-HO* at which it was decided lhal the department should renew .,r replace many of its old Mission buildings mid iu doing .so that the new quarters in each case should be ol such u size, construction and type as to be suitable for tbe purpose, permanent and capable ol enlargement iioai time to time as eomliiious mlghl require. In consideration of tbe adopt inn of such a policy the missionaries were to continue to use their hest endeavors to meet the requirements of the department in thc training nf tlie Indian children. The hoys are to be given manual training aud the girls domestic science in addition to the branches already taught along other lines. This mean! a new departure in the type nf buildings for g 1 business as well and it was decided to have .all future buildings of the highest type- Then arose lhe quest inn ns to which of the many Industrials Schools would have the first new building fn deciding ihis matter the department did not overlook merit as well as necessity. The result was that the Kootenays, owing (o ibe splendid showing and generally good reputation thev had made iu the comparatively brief period ol their contact with the whites and also on account ol the delnptdated condition of their school buildings, were given the preference and th,* first of these modern school buildings is now located and readv for use upon their reserve al St Eugene Mission, the history ol which is familiar to all Cranbrook readers Needless to Bay this was a source ol much pleasure lo the local Indian agent, Mr. R. L. T. Galbralth, of Fort Steele, who had fnr years heen advocating a modern school building for the Kootenays, Reverend Sister Superior Justinian and her assistant Sisters of Charity, who hate charge! of this school, and also the llev. Father Beck, who was then principal of the school. The contract was let (o Mr. .lohn .?. Wood, contractor, of Fernie, B C, and work began upon the 27th day of July, toil. The site of lhe new building is verv suitable nnd admirably located in the valley of the Sf. Mary's, iust be , low the confluence of lhc st Jo* .seph's Prairie creek with that river, t upon a fertile and let el bench of land | with most excellent soil fnr all kinds l of agricultural and horticultural pur poses The scenic qualities of the location are unsurpassed in this dis trlct, whether considered from \to viewpoint of an Indian or while.

Here all branches of agriculture and horticulture are being demonstrated in a manner which should he more general ly studied by some ol our white settlers, who are Inclined to expect too much from too small an amount of work upon their land. All of the produce from this 320 acre farm is raised by tlie efforts ol thc children, murk you, nf this school under the guidance ol a capable instructor whose duties are too numerous and varied to mention, but inspired largely by the love for the prime object of helping the Indians The products of this farm have on several occasions won the best prizes at the local fall fairs and 'To Improve" seems to be the guiding motto ol the institution in this connection. | The grounds surrounding thc school will in thi' near future be so laid out as to to most useful and ornamental and another place of attraction will he so added to ihe ever-increasing list of this district.

[By Arthur Uawkcs), Foolish people talk as n it is a crime fur a man to speak well in public. Because there are dullards with tongues, they neetii to imagine that all ini'ii nro bores. They even say Bermoas shouldn't lasi longer than ten or intern minutes. A sermon that doesn't bold Interest is too long at the third minute. Interest, nol length, is the primary test ut speak mu speaking is always It is an Instrument ol worth while, power. Mr Hurrell is an example of tin- truth of this truth. He is lond of literature—real literature, lie quotes rrom muster writers and always with effect. Sometimes lie is asked whether it is worth while to take SUCh pains ahnut what, he intends to .say, especially iu lhe heat and dust and forKPtfiilncss of an election campaign. He has never douhted the wisdom of his care. His attitude to those who come to hear liim is "The hest is hour too good." And here is a loiter that Mr. Hurrell hasn't seen. It is from a former citizen of Grand Forks, nn the border of British Columbia and the Slate of Washington, and il tells of Mr. Burrell's first puhlic appearance in tbnt town. The English farmer and fruit grower was asked to speak to a toast at a public dinner. Nobody knew about his faculty for suck work, but before ho sat down, my correspondent says, everybody knew tbat a man of unusual parts was in their midst. More and more demands wire made upon him to enlighten and edify thei community. In due time he became candidate for parliament. Though he didn't win tbe first time he was asked to run again. He was successful. He turned a majority of 161 against him into a majority of 803. Why? First of all, be has character. Sn have many defeated candidates, who are minus the nift of articulation. They stand well, hui not knowing how to talk well they stand only once. Tbey nre like silent actors behind the footlights. IBs party came hack to Mr. Hurrell because he talked square and well, besides stand Eng square and well. Is it worth taking the trouble to spe.ik as if your subject and audience amount to something? I should say so \n Englishman is minister ol agriculture at Ottawa, because be can speak well. How else was his leader to know his quality? In what other way could he show the superiority of bis mind' When the heathen rage and imagine a vain thing because they don't know bow to talk themselves, and don't care in recognize somebody else thai does know bow, let thnn remember Mr. Burrell ami take iuvd to tbeir criticisms. 1 have only heard him speak nine It was !■• a mixed gathering of farmers .md farmers' wives, daughters, Sisters and sweet hearts He gave them sound, wide thinking about agriculture and the state, huth ol which he represents with care aad honorable distinction, I was proud ■ tf my countryman, twice proud ol bim. Ile speaks with remarkable ease He scarcely moves on lus feet except to glance now and then at ihc hall --heci nf notepapcr in bis hand. His voice is smooth, natural, pleas ant. His accent is neither English not Canadian. It is compounded of the hei ter elements of both. He bas what il is decent in Whitehall to call a perfect bouse of commons stylo, "t treasury benches be is iii thc manner born.

Here is an uMcr- aiice or Mr it i.

Not onl) have we th<- original views of Sir Charles Tapper and Mi It I. Horden, hut we can quote Hon (ieo. K.

The foregoing authoritative extracts from speeches of the, Tor) leaders should enable thoughtful electors in si/e up pretty necuratel) j the real Tory atlitmh this great problem of assistance to the Old ■Country iu its maintenance of the navy Our Tory friends talk a greal deal about their loyalty and their desire to maintain the empire, hut when it comes down to de- lllvering the goods, tbey Invariably fight shy of the issue. The energy which led up to tliu erection of the Cranbrool* huilding at Lethbridge and the exhibition there of our fruit, lumber products and minerals, seems destined to achieve a success as remarkable as it was unexpected by those who worked il up and broughl it tn a head. To the very great credit of the prime movers be it said that it was never sn much a question ol what the whole undei taking would cnst as making a success nf the venture as a whole.

Fruit farming in the Niagara Peninsula doesn't mean that you must all the year round begin work before daylight and continue after dark, lf you have brains, tliere Is plenty of time tn use them during the winter. There is always time to use vottr brains farming, of course, even if you are pitching sheaves iu Ibe held, for ynu cm pitch mcchunicallv and think nrkii.alh. if such is your bent. Mr. Hurrell became connected with Farmers' Institute work, and developed into a writer nml lecturer on horticulture. Not having his eyes glued to the ground, he was able lo at* that western development and the fruit growing possibilities of Southern British Columbia valleys, where land could be bought cheaply, meant a great future for fruit growing in the Pacilie province. So, after fourteen years hard by St. Catharines, he went to (irand Forks, where, when be became minister of agriculture, he owned two hundred acres of lund, including some of the finest orchards in the world. It is worth several times as much as he paid for il, and attending concerts now Is a matter entirely of taste and convenience. Hut here, as I said in the beginning, the extra-farmer, that was Hurrell asserted himself. He became editor as well as farmer. For three years he had charge of thc "Grand Forks (Jazette," which i incumbency was related to a municipal career whose memory Grand Forks will not soon let die. Thc early days of several Hritish Columbia towns in the bonier country were exceedingly western—republican in moral quality. (iun play was the most notable amusement of gentlemen who found it consonant with their expectation*! iif liberty to move northward across the international line. .Joint and dive abounded even on main streets, and vou had abundant evam'ples in Grand Forks, as you had in other places, of how evil communications > corrupt good manners. Grand Forks (or a while was wide open, as they say when tliey mean that the devil enioys the freedom of the town. There were, in facl, two forks—tbe obvious destiny td which was to unite under one municipal government When that time came, Mr Hurrell. the quiet, polite Kng lishman, was persuaded to run for tin* mayoralty. ll was a contest between honor and dishonor, between spirited adhesion to Hritish ideals and spirituous hos- tilitv to the upward trend of things. Tbere were threats, there were to be boyeoltings of those who lared to support the rlean-minded candidate Even after the mayor was triumphantly elected, the touch element kept, for a time, on the edge of vengeance. The tmivor survived, and so did Grand Forks Though the exigencies1 of mining have taken some of the ginger out of the town, it is still a momument to those who believe that cleanliness in municipalities is as pleasing to 1'rovidence as godliness 111 church. A skilled, well-to-do fruit farmer who has been an editor and a mayor is hound to become a marked man Mr Hurrell was induced to sit on the board of horticulture for Hritish Columbia In the winter or 1907-08, he was in Kngland as fruit commissioner and lecturer for the province. Before that he had become candidate for Yale-Cariboo, That was in IMI, a had year for the Dominion Conservative partv. Now, Yale-Carihon is as enormous in extent ns it is singular in name. For Yale, the town in the Fraser canyon, is not in Vale-Catihoo, but in New Westminster. Yale district is in Yale-Cariboo. The constltuen- canyon, Is not In Yale-Cariboo, but where they began mining gold lifly years ngo. Besides Grand Forks, it includes North Bend and Kamloops and Ashcroft, whicb is the jumping ofl place for the Cariboo and Fort George country. North Bend la Hie hundred and thirty miles from Kamloops, with Ashcroft In between. ' I should not like to say how far It is to Cariboo from Ashcroft, except that it used to lie Iwo hundred and liftv miles bv conch. The constituency embraces, to use tbe precocious word they presented us with nt school, seventy thousand square miles. Kngland and Wales, 11 my memory is safe, contain litly-eight thousand square milea, A candidate for parliament, there fore, some td whose constituencies are a couple of hundred miles from •• railway, cannot make a very thorough personal canvass. Knowledge about him has to percolate through vast areas of country, llul when litis known for the sort of man .Mi Hurrell is, he is exceedingly hard to dislodge. It wasn't hostility 1" reciprocity alone which increased Mr. Hurrell'a majority last year from 893 to 2.IMI). Personality always tells. After only three years' service lie was oflered und accepted hy telegram, a pluce in the cabinet, and though he travelled as fast as trains could bring him, he did nof reach Ottawa until several days afler all his colleagues were sworn in He was not mentioned In the guessing contests thut the knowing newspapers ran what time Mr Borden's house was besieged by candidates for, and advisers about, cabinet appointments Mr. Horden kept his own counsel, and chose for minister of agriculture a man who was never known to solicit anything for himself.

Finding thai large tracts of lands throughout various portions of thf province had been discovered and retained by private individuals, to the detriment ol settlement hy preemption, and that tbe path of railways building or to he built are likely to be secured and exploited for speculative purposes, the land settlement committee of tbe Vancouver city board of trade and have brought in a repoit before the meeting of thai organization. In the report they made certain recommendations, in view of the fact that conditions demand immediate legislation to prevent the acquiring, holding nr speculation fu agricultural lamls. The committee also demanded tbe continued active building of trunk highways, and liberal governmenl assistance to settlers, such as tlie clearing of land and the providing of marketing facilities. Among some of their recommendations were, that except under binding settlement and improvement conditions, all agricultural lands be reserved for the active settler. That systematic surveying be continued with all speed possible Tbat in future pre-emptions, i[ necessary, vary in size nnd shape, to more equally distribute the advantages of access to rivers or highways and to suit surrounding conditions of land, and that longer and narrower pre-emptions be surveyed, being more suitable to district settlement. That pre-emptions be reduced iu si/e tn 10 acres or more, where soil and locality are found suitable for such reductions. They also recommended the purchase of modern road-making machinery and the prompt reserving or securing for district and municipal purposes of known accessible deposits nf rond-makjng materials, such as rock, gravel and sand. Further that assistance in clearing, irrigating or draining he given to established farmers, eilher by direct loan or by government guaranteed district bonds, so as to quickly extenil acreage for cultivation. That a policy of practical assistance to settlers Ite inaugurated, such as establishing district settlements in various parts of the province, selected witb a view of most easily building ami maintaining regular communication with a market and providing the menus lo stub settlements at minimum cost, of part cleaning, draining, irrigating or otherwise assisting the starting of farming operations, as circumstances may require, such outlays chargeable against the land until paid, and | I Tbnt a departmeni of land settle ment be organized, having funds at Its disposal to efficiently carry nut thin policy. I Tbe committee noted wllh regrel tbe enormous tracts of (be most de sir ably situated auric.il tural lauds, as Indian reserves, are neither being developed not made use of, greatly to tbe detriment of agriculture in this province, also ihat the appointment nf a royal commission nu agriculture is likely lo further delay an urgently needed laud settlement policy, and trust that al least the most urgent of these recoinnienilatintis may be dealt with by lhe government this coming session. ln presenting the report, the members of tbe committee which consisted of Messrs. H. A. Stone, \. C. Flumerfell, \V. IL Leekie, K. Odium, G. Blair, F. Glover. J. It Mathers, .lohn lingers, Win. Dal ton, E. IL Heaps, W. McNeil, ||. G. Boss, C.
