VOL. 5 NELSON, B. 0., THURSDAT, AUGUST 2, 1906 — .NO, 87 DEATH OF COLBAKER Cablegram Announces Demise of a Keotenay Pioneer Was for YcanMemberor British Ct lunbte Lfome icclleiit had happened. Between the frantic efforts ot the •fjo-'men the little body was located and brought to shore. Mr. Hume at mice ■began tlte work of attempted resuscitation, while Mr. Halkett came to the city ror medical aid. Dr. Hall.lon being phoned for. came down to the bifet house and was taken to the scene, Imt.M-h the efforts of Mr. ,ftumo and' the suDsScj-bent work of the doctor were unavailing; the vital spark ■was extinct and all the prolonged efforts mnde to revive the little fellow failed to produce any sign of life. From the Hrst, once he had examined the hoy, Dr. Hftll had no hop* of successfully reviving him, but he went to work manfully and ror a long time strove hard, by every known means lo restore th* lad, once more a living reality to the distracted parents. Finally the hopeless task was sorrowfully abandoned and the hoy was carried up to Mr, Hume's summer residence. Later on Mr. and Mrs. .Hume nnd the whole household came ovor to the city, bringing with them all that was left or what had been a few hours before, a merry, winsome ten year old boy, the Joy of his parents, a manly little rellow beloved by all his playmates and a ravoritc with all Who knew him, John Bunynn prepared the little body for burial ond It was taken to the family home on Victoria street last evening. The funeral will take place this afternoon at 3 oclock, from the family residence and Rev. R. Newton Powell, pastor of the Methodist ohureh, will hold a short service nt the house. Mr. and Mrs. Hume have the sympathy of tho whole community, and of everyone III the province who learns the sad story, It Is not their first bereavement in Nelson, as live years ago they had the great misfortune to lose their oldest born, a daughter, who lies burled ln the cemetery here, and beside whoso remains those of little Robert wlll be placed this afternoon. There is some little doubl of Just exactly how yesterday's sad fatality happened, tfut the theory lhat tho life preserver slipped down and was the original cause of the accident is generally believed to bo tne correct one, When Mr. Halkett first malted to the scene his earnest elTorts failed to locate tho Utile body, lying motionless nt the bottom of the lake, because the children, wildly anxious to help, were not Quite certain of iho exact spot where the boy was last Been, and precious moments were lost in tho frantic search that followed. When at last found the body was detached from the life preserver, and It Is understood that the latter was subsequently found floating In the water nearby. David Harum says that the loss of a child is a sorrow all by itself, and that i lils Is pulnfuiy true only parents who havo suffered, know. Robert was an exceptionally bright little chap, known the city over and honestly liked by every one ,who possessed the faculty of loving children. With the many guests at the Hume tho >uoy was a great fncorlte and his tragic passing away yeBterday was Iho sole topic of sympathetic utterance*, not only around the Hotel but in every homo in city.

The little one waa taken with violent pains and hor sufferings were ao ncuto that tho urgency of the case was Instantly seen. Lr. A. 8. Munro was called nnd tho parent slates It waa only due to his Instant and energetlo action that the life of the child waa saved. E. Jacobs, editor of tlie B. C. Mining Record,' came In on last night's train from Rosaland, after having spent -a fortnight in the Boundary anil Rossland districts. He states that in both camps there ls general satisfaction with the •mining outlook, and important development and additions to plant and machinery are being made, with the object of considerably Increasing the production of ore. In the Boundary especially the mining and smelting Industries are in a prosperous condition. Concerning this district he stales that at the British Columbia Copper Co.'s smelting works the Installation of tho large smelting plant, lo have a treatment capacity of 1500 to 1800 tons of ore per day, Is well forward, and it is expected that about Iwo months hence It will be practicable to resume smelting there. A scarcity of lumber is somewhat delaying the construction of the high railway trestles into the works and the new ore bins,—the latter to have a capacity of about 10,000 tons- hut .the manager, J. B. McAllister, who last week returned from a visit to the coast, has made arrangements to tide over the difficulty until the present shortage from district mills can be remedied. Praotlcally all lhe Heavy excavation work and building of substantial masonry foundations for the big furnaces, motors, blowers, etc., is. completed; some of the machinery ls arriving, the extension of the streel-fFimed building for the converters, etc., Is being proceeded with; the new machine ■hop is anished and power tools installed- Ihe water supply has been re-arranged; and tank storage for high- pressure system increased to about 180,000 gallons. . , , At the company's Mother Lode mine the main working shaft haB been deepened to 476 feet, and a station opened at the 400-ft level, with a big ore pocket below. By the time the* smelter shall be ready to treat oro the mine-will be in a position to supply 800 to 1000 tons per diem. Thon some 250 tons dally will be. obtainable from the company's Oro Denoro mine, 150 tons from the Emma, 100 tons trom the Napoleon, near Marcus, and custom ores will make un more than enough to keep the works going at their full capacity. Electric power will be used almost altogether at both mine and smeller, this to be obtained from the West Kootenay Power At Boundary Palls, the Dominion Copper Co. ls enlarging lis assay office aud adding lo Its laboratory equipment, erecting additional bins for hoth coke and ore puling In a Janckes-Farrel crusher wllh a capacity of 1000 lo 1200 tons per day (one 8-hour shift), building a new furnace 255 by 44 in. with 22 3% In uyere*. aud provided with Cllrous; hot blast (lhe nrat ot lis kind In British Columbia), adding a No, t-Otamm £ blower to he run by two 100 H.p., Allls- Chalmers-Bullock induction motors, and providing for requisite increases in sampling mill capacity, railway trackage, water supply, etc. At this company's several mines development and production are both Increasing. The main ore supply has been coming from the Brooklyn, from which a tonnage of 10,000 to 12,000 tons per month has been obtained, with a record of 14,000 tons for one month. The Stemwinder la sending down 1500 tons, the Rawhide about 8000 tons, the Sunset about 3500 tons, and the Mountain Rose ls contributing a little. The Idaho wlll soon have railway connections made mat wlll admit of its Joining the ore shlppers* An air compressor has been ordered from the Canadian Rand Drill Co, for this mine, to be operated by a 400 h.p. Westlnghouse motor. Othei Jlant to being put in where needed The company Is employing about 400 men In all et Its mines and sme ter. So much has been published in The Daily News of the extensions of development work nnd additions to plant an-1 machinery at the OrulV ft-» ■'■'»** that there is litle to be added. The three-compartment shaft, which Is lo be the main, working shaft of the mine, is being proceeded with. The opening up of the Oold Drop Is progressing, some 8 to 10 cars ot ore being shipped dally from this mine. These mines ware not visted by Mr, Jacobs this trip, but he was Informed that they wlll be easily able to supply the larger tonnage for which preparations are being made at the company's big smelting works at Orand FY>rka At the latter two of the old furnaces have been rebuilt and enlarged to a dally capacity ot 500 tons, making with the two last-built "tacks, four furnaces each having a treatment capacity of 600 tonB . The remaining four furnaces are to be similarly enlarged, so that a total capacity of nearly 4000 tons wlll soon have been provided for. Two more large "Jumbo" blowers, similar lo the one described by The Dally NewB In Its last Annual Review of Mining,, bave been ordered, and, for driving these blowers, four 160 h.p. Westlnghouse motors, two for each blower, have also been ordered, the Installation of a third converter stand Is Just about completed. All about the works there are signs of progress, and tbe great importance of this big industrial establishment to the district becomes more evident as each month passes. Tbe company ls employing about 300 men at its smelting works and 400 at its mines. There ls much more connected with' miinng and smelting in the Boundary district that Mr. Jacobs would like to have spoken of, but as he did not reach Nelson until midnight, it was too late to go into these matter last night. He pointed out, though, that although there Is not much stir noticeable in the Boundary towns tt is plainly evident that the district is making very substantial progress, since railway, mining, smelting and power companies are together expending money iu construction work, development, equipment, etc, to an extent that in the aggregate amply demonstrates their full confidence that a prosperous industrial future of the Boundary is fully assured. RECORD FOR HANGING NEORO IS TRIED -AND EXECUTED IN FIFTY MINUTE8. ' • TWO BLAOK MBN PAY THE PENALTY FOR ASSAULT. Maylielil, Ky, Aug. 1.—The hanging of Allen Matthles, the negro who criminally assaulted Miss Ethel McClay last Wednesday night, took place at 8 o'clock last night In a legal manner, In the yard of the county Jail. Fully 10,000 people were on the scene, but only a few hundred could sen the execution, although almost tbe entire fence surrounding the scaffold had been torn down, while the tr.al was going on. It was only 50 minutes from the time the jury was sworn in till the negro was pronounoed dead. Atlanta, Oa„ Aug. 1.—Floyd Carmlchael, a negro, about 22 years old, after being lilentlfled by Miss Annie Poole, as tho man who had assaulted her early yesterday, was shot to death in sight ot his victim late ln the morning by a posse, who had captured him. JUMP THEIR BOARD BILLS (Special to The Dally Newa) Phoenix, Aug. 1.—An epidemic of Jumping board bills, which has ben more or less prevalent of late, ls now likely to lake a favorable turn owing to an Incident that has Just happened in the Boundary, and one young fellow has secured a full month in which to consider the matter. U. S. Clark was employed at the Brooklyn mine here and boarded with Mr. J. H. Graham. Last Saturday he drew his time, wont to Greenwood and thence to Midway, to take tbe train tho next morning for Spokane, and thence to Pullman, Wash, where lie has a brother In business. Mr. Graham became suspicious, however, on learning that Clark was in Greenwood, and on ascertaining tbat he hod drawn hie wages at the mine, told chief of police Flood of the case. Sunday morning the chief took the Phoenix Great Northern train to Grand Forks, knowing that the Midway train over the same road must come into Grand Forks. When the Midway train pulled Into Grand Forks. Clark jumped off, and seeing chief Flood on the platform, he started to run, with the chief after him. The chase led as far as the C. P. R. station or thereabouts, but tbe chlof overtook Ills man, and cume back with hltn to Phoeulx that night. When arraigned betore police magistrate Williams tho next dny Clark was given a lecture by the Judge and sentenced on a charge ot vagrancy to spend the next niunth in the Nelson Jail to think the matter over while at work for the province.

UEADM Local Fruit Growers Urge Admission of Chinese Laborers Pus Rcsolalion Requesting Doafnlon Car* eminent to Remove Restridtoa Against Orientals A special meeting or the Kootenay Fruit Growers Association was held In the board of trade rooms at li o'clock yesterday morning, called at th#-instance of H. E. Croasdaile and others 'to consider the question of Chinese labor In relation to ranching. The notices calling the meeting were seat out by the acting secretary, in Mr. Annable's absence at Winnipeg, and by some oversight tlte. press was not notf- flfed of the meeting at all, and The Dally News had no representative on hand. According to some of those wbo were present 40 persons attended the meeting, all of whom with four or fire exceptions, were members of the association. A resolution, proposed by H. G. Croasdaile and seconded by T. Morley, was carried, asking that the system of practically excluding all Chinese immigration by a prohibitive head tax, be modified so that Chinese engaged aa domestic servants or agricultural lab- "* orers,_ be admitted to Canada free of duty. G. O. Buchanan, who Is not a member of the association, was by consent allowed to address the meeting but did not vote. At least four persons spoke strongly against tbe resolution, F. J. Sammons, Cecil and Crozier Bourke, and J. W. Ford. On a division being taken the resolution was declared carried by a vote of 16 to 6. This would leave present but not voting, Borne 18 or 19 persons, there being an attendance of about 40. Appended will be found the text of the resolution carried and an account of some of the speeches made favoring the reeolutlpn, kindly furnished The Dally News by Mr. Croasdaile: Meeting of the Kootenay Fruit Growers* Association held at tlie board of trade rooms to discuss the Chine.--,- labor question. Meeting called to order by James Jahnstone, president of the association. Minutes of the previous meeting read by the secretary, J. E* Annable. Minutes ndopted as read. Mr. Johnstone—This is a very busy season of the year to have a general meeting of the association, but there are several Important matters coming before us and I have been requested by a deputation, at least a paper signed by several of the members, to call thin meeting. I will now call Mr, Croasdaile who was one of the principal parties who desired this meeting, to make a statement. Mr. Croasdaile—Mr. President, I desire to move this resolution: "Whereas, the Kootenay Fruit Growers' Association. Mmited, hns been formed ror tin- purpoHo of foatering nnd encouraging the fruit growing Industry in this district; and. "Whereaa, for the siKVP.isful proaeeutlon uf thc Indutitry, It is essential lhat an adequate supply of Inbor be secured; and "Whereas, the slight cxperienco, nlreatty gained has demonstrated that the: necessary labor is not now available, a considerable quantity of berries having gono to waste last year for the want of pickers, with the consequence that some growers who propose engaging in the culture of small fruits and berries are now hesitating to do so; and "Whereas, thero Is no prospect of any such accession through the ordinary medium of immigration of suitable white labor as wlll meet the requirements of the case, nnd we have therefore the prospect that the Industry will be dwarfed and cramped Instead of growing and expanding Into the dimensions which our remarkable- u-liinvtaget- of soil and climate hud giveu tts reason to expect; nnd Whereas, the Chinese have shown them, selves to be efficient pickers, and are good general workers on fruit farms: "Therefore, be lt resolved, That white regretting the necessity of taking a stand antagonistic to the vlewi* of many fellow provincials, this association, In furtherance of the objects of Its incorporation, Is compelled to recommend that the policy of exclusion of Chinese labor by the imposition of a prohibitive tax be modified to the extent that Chinese engaged as agricultural laborers or domestic servants be allowed to enter tile dominion free of head tax, a system of supervision under the auspices of the dominion government to be Instituted to ensure that Chinamen so admitted are not allowed to engago In other lines of labor." The resolution I move ls based on the fact that tbere is a scarcity of labor. 1 do not wish to say that it Is at present acute, but there ls undoubtedly a considerable amount of loss caused by want of labor and as time goes on that lack of labor Is bound to be felt more arid more as the trees come into bearing and as more land is cleared and planted. 1 believe the fruit industry wlll receive a serious check If the difficulty is not faced at once;. If we do not try to obtain such assistance from the legislature as will allow us to get In the necessary labor.

A question of far reaching Import, one of vital interest to the whole province, was to be discussed and yet the press was given no opportunity to have representatives present The Dally News is Indebted to Mr. H. B. Croasdaile for a partial report of the meeting. He had m stenographer ln attendance to take down the remarks of those wbo spoke Is favor of his resolution and a transcript ot these notes waa supplied us and appears elsewhere In this it-sue. Of Uie remarks of those who opposed the resolution, The Dally News hae no record. In effect the resolution of the Kooce- tlc purposes. Chinese thus admitted are to be prohibited from.engaging in any other lines of labor. A system of Indentured labor is to be established and tbe dominion government is to. provide machinery to enforce the contracts. Ottr fruit growers, or those of them for whom the Kootenay Fruit Growers' As- |socie**on speaks, would Inflict upon Canada the trouble now being experienced In South Africa. If It be necessary for the development of the resources of this province lo import Chinese coolies, we should very strongly protest against anything in the nature of indentured labor. If the white race cannot get along in thla country Without the assistance of Mongolitane, we can see no justification for the creation of servile conditions. Let the Chinese oome in as tree men, at liberty to engage ln any Industry they wish td. We believe this wlll be the view taken by most men who will give the question a moment's consideration. But are conditions such as to warrant the assumption that Chinese labor le essential to the prosperity ot the fruit growing industry, or that ot any other Industry In British Columbia, or any other province of the dominion? It la true that we are confronted today by an unusual scarcity ot labor and tor the moment It Is impossible to say how the demand Is to be supplied. But do unusual conditions of this character Justify recourse to tb* proposed abandonment of the agricultural Industry of Canada to the Chinese? I The ultimate effect of the proposal sSSSSS.-Sls^.'ssssr try almost wholly into the hands of Chinese. A few large landowners might continue to operate farms with Chinese laborers, but the small farmer, the cultivator of the Ave, ten and twenty acre fruit farm or market garden, would soon be driven out ot the business. What do we want,—our fruit lands to be the homes of white people, permanent residents, participating In the political and social lite of the country, or to be the scene of operations of migratory bands of Indentured laborers who can have not part or parcel In our national lite and whose presence in our midst will be a constant source of economic unrest? We cannot believe tbat the members of the Kootenay Fruit Growers' Association have given this question serious thought They are confronted with admittedly trying conditions and ln seeking the easiest way out they demand free and unlimited entry of Chinese labor. The Industrial problems that confront British Columbia will not be solved in this way and the Kootenay Fruit Growers' Association may as well dismiss the idea without more ado. To say that the fruit growing industry cannot be carried on In this province without Chinese labor ls to assert that which cannot be substantiated by the records. The Industry Is comparatively in its Infancy. Owing to the superior advantages of climate and soil It has been established that we can grow fruit equal to the best produced elsewhere and superior to much that is grown in other parts of the American continent. These conditions have brought about a big demand tor fruit lands, not so much by those wh> propose permanently to engage l:i the fruit crowing Industry as by those who hope to sell these lands at a profit The Immediate effect is that there ts a scarcity of labor to clear and cultivate these lands. No real effort hag been made to secure labor for that purp-je. The efforts so far put forth have been to And purchasers for Uie lands, regardleu rf whether or not the purchasers Intended to culUvate thetn. It was not to be expected that tbere would be a supply of labor hanging around waiting tot employment on these lands. Tha same remarks apply to the >l.oit- age of labor fn the new provinces. There, on a greatly Increased scale, similar conditions prevail. There has been a rush for land, settlers have Hacked ln and for the Ume being there is a shortage of labor, a shortage that nothing could prevent and that only time will regulate. Some effort was made to provide labor ln the new provinces, but notwithstanding these efforts there Is sUll unavoidably a grave deficit between demand and supply. In thts province no such efforts have been made. Months ago The Dally News called attention to tbe question of labor supply (for our fruit farms. We pointed out that the entirely wise decision of the people of Canada to put a stop to tbe immigration of Chinese coolies had necessarily cut off one source of supply and that it was the duty of the provincial authorities to take steps to promote an Influx ot settlers to this province from whose I ranks might be drawn the labor requlr-1 ed for the clearing and cultivation of our fruit lands. The provincial authorities have made no effort to replace Chinese labor by white labor. We know that there' are practically unlimited sources to draw ilium ln the old world. We know thai nothing would more materially and permanently beneflt British Columbia than to attract within its boundaries settlers from the United Kingdom and northern Europe. We have that to offer, which If properly made made known, would lure them here, and yet nothing has been done. Conditions in the United Kingdom have driven thousands from the agricultural districts to the big titles In search of employment It is nonsensical to say that these people are not as capable of cultivating our fruit lands as are the Chinese. Given the opportunity, the farm laborers 'of England, Scotland and Ireland would prove every bit as useful as the Chinese and would ultimately become Canadians in. every sense of the word, willing and able to take upou themselves the responsibilities ot citizenship and thus help to make of British Columbia a truly great province. The course proposed by the Kootenay Fruit Growers' Association, if acted upon, would be Uie worst setback Canada could possibly experience. -Some temporary relief might be provided by the importation of Chinese laborers, an immediate difficulty might be overcome, but the ultimate result would be wholly and unqualifiedly evil.

Livery Stables, Quebec, /•' help. We believe their position is entirely Indefensible and that upon mature consideration the sober heads tn the organization will come to the same conclusion. The mine managers of the Slocan do not employ Chinese kitchen help ln preference to white help. The mine managers have been only too anxious 'to secure good white help and It Is only as a last resource that Chinese cooks and Chinese kitchen help have, been employed. The mine managers are not Importing Chinese tor kitchen purposes, they are ln the country, they are available and give satisfaction. Neither ls tt a question of cheap labor. Mine managers ore prepared to pay good wages to kitchen help, but lt ls essential to the comfort dt the employees that this help should be reliable and the experience ln too many cases in the Slocan bas been tbat white kitchen help has not proved reliable. When the unions can guarantee the mine managers reliable white kitchen help we believe they will have no further occasion to complain of the employment of Chinese, but unUl they can do this Ihere is no Justification for any attempt to prevent tbe operation of a mine simply because tbe management does employ Chinese kitchen help. With special reference to the sltuaUon at Sandon, we think the miners union should manifest some re-' gard for the Interests ot business men of tbat camp and for the enterprise ot the men back ot the Last Chance and (Surprise mining ventures, .who bave put up cash to make the resumption of operations possible. For a long Ume past Sandon has been a pretty dull eamp. The business men must have been hard hit, and we should Imagine that many miners and mine laborers would be only 'too glad of tbe opportunity the resumption of work at the Last Chance and Surprise affords to get on to a payroll again. A good cause can be overdone and Bandon Miners' union will certainly not help the cause of organized labor In tho Kootenays hy Its present attitude.

Whilst we do not want to see the doors thrown open to Chinese immigration for any purpose whatever, we believe that the Sandon Miners- union display very poor Judgment in attempting to prevent the operation of tbe Last Chance and Surprise mines simply on the grounds tbat the management propose to employ Chinese kitchen ■ Tha Kootimy Diwlopnwitt Frandi and The Daily News notes wiih pleasure the announcement tbat prompt attention ls to be paid by the provincial govern* ment to the complaint of the Baltoui ranchers. That the complaint Is based upon a real grlenancs there can be little doubt, for the published names of 'hose who have signed the petition form an ample suarantee of good faith.

HEAD TAX ASSAILED (Continued From Flrat Past) Into an Important ons, and while I admit Ui-j good this association has don* in obtaining cheaper boxes and cheaper marketing of fruit, I wait tb see ths association make It tbeir fined policy to take Uiat up as One of their principal objects In the future. Now, many object to the Chinese, there Is si stronc feeling In the Province against Own, but I cannot sea any other souros from which we can expect to obtain labor at a reasonable price, or, In fact, obtain lt at all. The wage of the Chinaman hss tone up in the last two or three years from >26 to $40 a month or over In some esses, and that Is a very good evidence of the growing sosrcenesB of labor. This, province from Its earliest days has bees dependent on Chinese labor. The mills on the ooast have always employed a number of Ohlnamen; the salmon canneries bave always employed Chinamen. The Arst manufsc- tury started In Victoria-* boot and shoe factory. Heathorns, -it-awards bought out by ths Ames, Holden On-that shoe manufactory was started entirely with -Chinese labor. The province would not have advanced as It baa done If It had not been tor the ability'to secure Chinese labor. There was no other labor to take their place and what I maintain ls that in tbls dlstrlot in the fruit Industry then Is no labor to take the place at Chinamen to any extent, and the demand Is continually growing. The present tax of 1600 Is, of course, prohibitive. I believe no Chinamen are coming ln under that prohibition. We have got to bear In mind that tax was put on mainly at the Instigation of people In the province who do not oome In contact with the Chinese tn any way, and who are not employers ot Chinese labor, but tbey brought their Influence to bear and got the government to place this tax upon them. It made no difference to itiem whether the Chinese came in or not. I saw by yesterday's paper Mr. Scott, the premier of Saskatchewan, Is advocating the abolition of the tax, because he thinks lt Is .essential to the Northwest to get cheaper labor from Asia. 1 do not advocate Interfering with any person's rights or privileges or business Interests, but I think we have every right to obtain legislation In the interests of our Industry. 1 think my resolution wlll In opposed, but the more It Is ventilated the better. It Is a matter that has to be faced it we want to make a success of our Industry. I will ask that those who will discuss tbe matter In opposition to my view, will do so from the standpoint of members of' this association, not from an outside standpoint I claim, Mr. Chairman, that we have a right to demand that we should not be handicapped In our industry and I claim we have a tight to resent the interference of anybody who has no interest in the matter. J. J. Johnstone—J have tried all sorts of labor here. When I came here flrst I was very much opposed to Chinamen from sentiment, from what I wss told. I was told they would steal and I was bitterly opposed to them. I worked for three years dr so with getting young follows who would come out to; this country to make a start I was always willing to help them and after I had Instructed them to clean out brush aud take care of certain trees, I would And that the trees were cleaned out and the brush left After enduring this for some time—It being impossible to And an experienced young Englishman or Scotchman—then I employed Chinamen and since then I bave never bad anything else. I do not think I shall ever bare anything else. The ones I have had have been experienced men and While they are dlfflcult to understand and will do things In their own way, and there may be objectionable features, still I know of no better help. I have letters all the time from young fellows wanting to know If they come out here if tbey can get work on a ranch. I don't want young Inexperienced men. It would bs all right If young men of experience would come out here. But It Ib not this sort of men who are applying. It is men who know nothing about a ranch; don't know a pear trom an apple. In making the suggestion that Ohlnamen should be admitted, I believe they should be restricted to those who are experienced gardeners In China and we should get an absolute guarantee that they are such. If we can get an experienced Chinaman he will do better than you would yourself, but we wish to have it thoroughly understood before we take ott the tsx so ss not to have the oountry overrun with Chinamen. I know of no class who will go ahead except Ohlnamen. I bave thought of the Indians who come in from Alaska, but they are unsatisfactory and require watching all the Ume, and unless you stand over them they are thieves. I am sure of that because I know a good deal about Indian life; and the Japanese ars not as reliable ss the Chinese. II I oould see any other way of advancing this Industry— (Voice-Try a Canadian.) I would gladly try a Canadian, If experienced. I would be very glad to hear eome one else talk. That Ib my opinion. I wish 1 could see asy other way of getting a satisfactory solution, but 1 do not. Thos. Morley-I bes to .second tho resolution that Mr. Croaadiille haa put Forward. I am very glad to hear the remarks that you have made. I have been (or many years here now employing labor on a small ranch. I have tried white men and all kinds of labor that could be sot, including Japanese, and found them most unreliable. The average white man knew absolutely nothing about tha work he was required to do, although he would*Votrte lo me with full assurance that he knew It all. Many mistakes and blunders. One man in par* tlcula-r—to give an example-knowing that 1 wanted a man stated that he would accept tlo a month and all the milk, butter and eggs hts family could got away with. 1 asked him If he understood pruning trees, and he said: "Yes; uny fool could do that It was only cutting off thc branches." . After several years' experience, I have found it the best way to gel the best help was to pay a good price und In that way you get the best valuo ror your money. Three years ago I was paying 126 a month; the following year 1 was paying 130, and a little later In the season I was paying 133. Tbls yeur I huve been paying HO and have been paying one man tto a month. You cannot get a Chinaman, now to stay with you unless you pay them t4a a month. The effect of the prohibitive tax will prevent all chlneso rrom coming In and the Chinese labor here will become moro scarce and' more expensive all tho time. We .cannot get the class of labor wo want to have. We read ot people going to the new territories. They are all looking for a little bit of land of their own, whether tbey have money .or not. Tou hear the cry all through the oountry and In the United States where the prohibitive tax ia on Ohlnamen. All through Ontario the cry Is going up In the same way, and in the territories the wheat la spoiling because they cannot get labor. The large Influx Is In Alberta and Saskatchewan along tbe lines of the new railways, and therefore we cannot get the right help. The only way we can get It la' to ask the government to remit the tax on Chinamen. J. J. Campbell-It seems to me that In talking about this subject we are really setting wide of the mark, when we dls- ouas the reapeotlve merits of the young EfigUahmsn and Canadians and Chinamen. There are food and bad of all kinds. The question la. whether Ws can carry out what we have started to do.

As It Is 1 am employing four white men. 1 could not employ the white men if 1 did not employ the Chinese. Remove the Chinamen, take thorn out of the country, and where are we at? Mr, Burke may be able to continue If he Intends to work himself and has sons to work for him, 'but how much trult ranching could you do and how many men would Invest money on .the chance of their being able to carry on fruit raising and picking their fruit. Would Mr. Burke plant ten acres of strawberries on the chance of getting English labor? I bave been icjfltyilaedl upon my/ jowa pastiness - ana warned, being asked where l am to get the labor to pick my own trult. Wrongs probably right themselves und after 1 huve lost a crop or two through lack ot labor, a grievance of that kind wlll be remedied. It iu not us though we had a system of protection ugulnst labor. We are" offered Doukhobors, Slavs and Hungarians, but thero is oue class of man who can be got here and that partlcuiur man Ib marked and we who need him cannot get him. That 1b not fair play. If It is a question of having Chinese ana having Englishmen and cSotchmen that would be different, but I contend lt Ib uot. If we had no Chinamen, we would have no-fruit Industry here toduy, and the extent of that Industry ls more limited by the supply of labor available than any other cuuue you can name. There ure any number of us who would be willing to clear up more land and for every Chinaman you employ you warn another white man. There Is other work that the white man Is needed for. The packing of fruit; the plowing, work thut the Chinese are not physically fit for. They don't compete, but supplement the work of the white man. For myself I think we have rather more Chinese than white men. Now as to the valuation of our farms. We all have from ten to live mum ml acres or more. Take away our Chinamen and 1 would write mine off aB a loss; tor that reason 1 would vote for Mr. Croasdaile's resolution. We are not opening up the big question as to the Chinese affecting everybody else. 1 would agree witn It as a member of this association in Us limitation, whatever11 might do outside et this association where thu que»tlon was upon broader lines. I might feel as a citizen that the opposition did not arise from purely disinterested motives. 1 have had Chinese for house servants. I huve not found them dishonest. 1 have had Chinamen working on the same ranch wltn white men and found them competent, quite sober, honest ln their work, and in bringing them supplies from town I found they apent a greater portion of their wages. I think lt ls essential that we should moke ourselves heard and the government of the country should not get the impression from our silence that there is only one side to thc case. The loss of revenue has been .930,000. It will mnke labor us nurd to get and as dear as possible. The railways, mines, smelters and everybody are crying out for labor, Wc will give work over at the smeller to 30 men at 92.7*1 and $3 a day for white men, tf you have got them, and net put them In the fumes, but put them at ordinary everyday labor. We are not running half our furnaces because we cannot get labor and our yard Is full of ore for which wo are paying hundreds of dollars for demurrage, if $2.50 or *-' Is not fair wages, that is it different matter. When you get wages at a higher price than the raw material is -worth It simply clones down every business and docs not help the country nor the mnn trying to make a living out of lt. G. O. Buchanan—1 can hardly agree with the remark made by tho mover of the resolution In which he said the situation was not at present acute. I think it is acute. The fact that we have not hud this summer a hundred car loads of .strawberries to pick and may not next summer, does not prevent the situation from being acute. It is acute In the respect that people wlll not put In large quantities of plants and bushes when they know there Is no prospect of their being uble to get help to pick the 'berries, and those who huve most emphatically opposed the resolution know that more assistance must be forthcoming. Instead of seeking relief tn the form proposed in this resolution, Hnd out what you can get from other countries, Kind out what you can do. The government has an exceedingly uctlve immigration bureau, but these Immigrants insteuu of relieving the situation on the labor market cause it to become more stringent. I understand from Mr. Annable that they are wanting 30,000 men In the Northwest. The bonus offered by the government ot free homesteads here as well ub In the ^rflhw-fU terrltOriiesHboiindietw .-extent-* of free land offered every mun—attractions like these do not relieve the labor market. I have heard remurks since 1 came into the meeting to the effect that If those who could not get labor at f2.ro would pay |3 they would be able to obtain it. When will berries stand $3 a duy for labor.' You are not likely to get what you are asking for at the first time of usklng. . . . The opportunities of the white man for buying land are so great that unless some means Is found of relieving the situation the country will not make the progress that It otherwise would. . . . There is a restriction against the Chinaman. Atter all what difference Ib there In principle from some modifications of that and what haa been suggested and proposed. We arc invited to go and ransack all countries for labor. . . , Ib there any such difference between the Chinaman and these other races to make tt a matter of principle that one ls to be allowed to come In freely and the other ls not? It tt not that the one Is available to meet the requirements and the other Is not. (Hear, hear). Labor will ultimately bo distributed and nnd its proper place. , . . The objection Is to any class that wlll come in and break down the exceptionally high {rate of wages, ... I am proposing at the present moment to buy land and engage in fruit raising In Kootenay, . . . but I do not aee any sense ln buying fruit land and planting berries with the prospect of having a large amount of that work to do. I do not aee where you are to make any money If there ls not going to be some definite supply of labor available, nor is there sufficient encouragement to start in business. Mt, Croasdaile—There la one thing In your own remarks Mr,. Chairman, us to only trained Chinamen being admitted free of tax. That Is not my view In the resolution 1 am presenting. The people are wanting large tracts of land cleared, an'd people who are considering the question ot coming Into this country and acquiring land wlll have large tracts to dear. Tbey are wanting to know about labor. There is a large area of fruit land ln this district and that area seems to be growing every day and wo want .to provide some means for bringing that land under cultivation, it is not a question merely of the land already under cultivation. With regard to Mr. Burke's remarks as to removing the tax, I have seen the time when there was no tax. I have seen 7000 Chinamen brought In on the coast to work on the construction of tho C.F.A., and my experience is thnt the supply regulates Itself to the demand. When the contract was over for building the railroad those Chinamen went back to their own country, though thero was aome hardship for a number of thein before they wont away. I do uot think Mr. Burke need anticipate any difficulty In this respect. We have got to Bay what our requirements are and we have got to show that we are not interfering with anybody else's interests or rights, I am sure the meeting win agree with me that tills question has brought forward a very Interesting debate. ONE HEART WAS DEAD BUT STILL THE MAN WITH TWO LIVED ON. WAS ONOE CELERATED FREAK IN BARNUM'S SHOW. New Vork, Aug. 1.—A special to The World Irom Salem, Oregon, .says; After living for two weeks with one heart dead, George Llppert, ul years old, whose two hearts, three perfectly formed legs and sixteen toes made him one of the wonders of p. T. Barnuni's shows, is dead from tuberculosis. Surgeons who performed an autopsy declare that had it not heen for the consumption, which already had the upper hand, the death of Llppert'*-! right heart would not have materially affected the like organ on the left side and that he probably woulld have lived for years. Until seven years ago Lippert's life had heen spent In the show business. He could speak live languages and any number of dialects. A globe-trotter's career is not conducive lo saving and Lippert had only a 20-cent piece when he found himself sick and homeless in Oregon. Mrs. Mary Rlggs, a florist, gave him a home and he quit the show business for good, making his home thereafter with his benefactress, ln whose house he died. He was visited here by many showmen. Besides Lhe usual two legs, a third one grew out of his right side nnd .va* somewhat thinner than Uie other two, bul pcl'ectly formed. In a French traiu wreck Llppert sustained a fracture of his third leg and had his nose broken. Thereafter he was never abe to use his leg, but would not. consent to an amputation. * Llppert last fall contracted a severe cold, which developed into consumption. When he apparently was near death two weeks ago one heart ceased beating, but with the other he clung tenaciously to life until the white plague killed htm. Minard'i Liniment Cures Garget in Cowl M.

Petersburg, Aug. 1.—(2.p.m.)— The .greatest excitement prevails here as a result of .tlie elnrtllng news froin Sveaborg and there la the deepest apprehension regarding the situation at Cronstadt, as there ls little doubt that the rifling of tbe garrison of the ."Gibraltar of the Baltic," was a premature attempt to excite a widespread military conspiracy, which involved the seizing of the fortresses ot Sveaborg, Cronstadt, and Sevastopol, as bases for revolt In the Black Sea and Baltic fleets. Both telegraph and telephone communication with Cronstadt and Sevastopol waa cut oit during the night, but no sound ot firing has yet been heard. Although lt is learned that a summons to revolt was Issued there, the chlet point now ln doubt Is where the main part of the Baltic fleet, consisting ot a battleship and three cruisers, ls at present. It was sent to Helsingfors upon the receipt of the news that the mutineers at Sveaborg had Joined ln the revolution. The squadron is expected, tb be under the personal command of grand duke Alexander Mlchaelovltch, brother-in-law of emperor Nicholas. A telegram claiming to be from the commander of the fortress has been received here but Us meaning ls not clear. The despatch sayH-. "The entire crews ot four warships have mutinied. The crews of the torpedo boat destroyers and other ships on tiie spot have revolted," while still another despatch says: "For a time, with a portion of the crews locked below decks, the loyal members of tbe crews Ural upon the mutineers," If the royal squadron joined the mutineers there ls little hope ot regaining possession of Sveaborg fortress, where it Is claimed, six companies of loyal troops are holding out under commander Estanil against the mutineers on Michael Svaska, Artillery, Engineer and other iHlands composing the 'group on which the fortress ls built The commander ot the artillery, general Aggrift, was a prisoner during ihe night The Cossacks and troops ashore at Helsingfors have regained entire possession of Skatudden Island. There is no exaggeration ln saying that the blow coming thus suddenly (rom an unexpected quarter has caused dismay ln government circles and the feeling of alarm is increased by the bad news from the Interior. The strikes are. spreading rapidly. The whole of the Donets basin, the center of the mining and smelting industry,-is in the grip of the strikers, 20,- 000 walking out at Usvaka last night, while from the vicinity of the Caucasus the garrison of the Dishlagar, commanding the famous iron gate at Der- bent, received the news of the dissolution of parliament by rising, killing aiielr commander, Installing themselves tn complete control of the city and placing their sentinels before, the post, telegraph and other government buildings. ■*- The revolutionists are wildly jubilant. Although the mutiny .at Sveaborg occurred unexpectedly, bhey instantly de- elded they must take advantage of It and try Immediately to precipitate the general engagement between the government and the people for which they have been prepared. They express the most supreme confidence that the military supports of the government win break where they are least expected and that the government will And, when the test comes, the army divided against itself and that units supposed to be loyal will fight on the aide of the people. The workmen's councils here and at Moscow have already Issued warning! to the workmen's organisations through the country to hold thmeslves in readiness to strike and the revolutionary military committee Is acting-with energy. They declare that the crews of the warships at St. Petersburg are ready and that if the Cronstadt squadron mutinies all the ships in the Baltic will soon be in their hands. Helsingfors, Aug. 1.—(2 p.m.)—Heavy cannonading Is ln progress at Sveaborg, showing that the light for the possession ot the'main fortification Is still ln progress, lt Is Impossible from the-* shore to ascertain the exact situation. The only re-lnforcementa which have arrived here are two companies of the Finnish regiment, which, came today. General, baron Saltaa, commander of the 22nd army corps, Is un his way here from Villmantrand. The fight between the mutineers and the loyal troops was waged during most of the post night The cannonading was heavy, the Bring of the guns furnishing an awful and Inspiring, spectacle to the thousands lining the points of. vantage on Observatory hill. The loyal minority seemed to command the forts on Nicholas Island which was engaged In a duel with Sanhama's formidable masked, batteries. At 10 o'clock this morning they were still exchanging broadsides at 10-mlnute Intervals. The casualties, transferred to Helsingfors, number less than SO of whom 15 are dead. But thus far the number ot killed or wounded in the Sveaborg hospitals has not been ascertained. Order has been restored at Skatudden Island where 110 sailors and 11 civilians have been disarmed. From the civilian point of view the local situation Is easy. No cruisers are visible. . Troops are expected here but the destruction of the bridge near Rlhimaekl railroad station and the tearing up of the permanent way at several points delay the arrival of re-inforcements. The socialists are on the alert and the townspeople are In fear ot a cannonade If the naval squadron arrives here. There, was a panic all day long yesterday among the summer residents, on the islands of the archipelago owing to the fall of stray bullets and shells, which caused a number of casualties on the islands and In the city. A man, sitting on the verandah of the Yacht club, was mentally wounded, and a servant girl was killed. For more than a week Russian revolutionists have been working among the troops distributing the laboring and group of toil manifesto. It is reported that on Sunday 1500 soldiers took an oath to Dght on the side of the people, St, Petersburg, Aug. 1.—The report of the murder of M. Herzenstein, a member of the outlawed parliament, Is confirmed. He was assassinated at his oountry house near Terlokl, Finland, by men in the employ of the Black Hundred organization. While walking along the sea shore with his wife and daughter several shots were fired at him from.an unoccupied building. Two ot the shots hit him aud he fell dead. His daughter was wounded In the hand. The murderers escaped. Three hours prior to the murder a 'phone message was received at a newspaper offlce from Moscow asking for newB of M.

Ab a personal find effective reply to ithe query put to The Dolly News yesterday by a correspondent who questioned the veracity of a statement made In the columns of this paper to the effect that the ranchers of Balfour were protesting to the provincial government agent against the maladministration of public road moneys appropriated for Balfour, the folliwlng signed statement was brought to lhe Dally News office today: "We, the undersigned ranchers of Balfour and vicinity, endorse certain statements made lo the government agent by Messrs. McKay and Gray concerning the manner In which' the road along the north shore Is being constructed and the waste of money on the same. '(Signed) Cecil J. S. Paddon, A. Cameron, Alex. McKay, H.

James*' To this was added the following separate statement evidently made by men who were not quite prepared to endorse the whole complaint and yet who recognize the need of an enquiry Into the circumstances: "We would like an Investigation into the above matter. (Sgd.) Charles W. Busk, G. W. Manuel, J. W. Ford.." That these men are sincere and disinterested cannot be questioned, for they Include amongst their number. several who have done a good deal of road building at their own expense aud who have at heart only the welfare ot the community and wisest and most economical expenditure of public money. For Instance, the cost of the trail from the Molly Gibson road, near tbe landing, westwardly to the boundary or Messrs. Morley and Shank's land, totalling |125, was paid entirely by Mr. C. W. Busk; that of the continuation through Mr. Shank's land lo Apploion's. boundary by Mr. Shanks himself; moreover, private parties located the. road from A. L. Gray's home to Rock Bluff, easterly and offered to locnto it through lo Balfour. Mr. Renwlck, the local agent af the government, has decided that lhe Investigation requested shall be granted, and that Mr. J. D. Moore, road agent, shall hold the Inquiry. THB CHINESE LABOR QUESTION. Editor, Tbe Dally News: t have read In this evening's paper the resolution presented by H, E. Croasdaile to the Kootenay* Fruit Growers' Association, which 1 notice was backed by such prominent mining men at J. J. Campbell, James Johnstone and G. 0. Buchanan. I I have carefully studied the resolution, and must say that looking at thd matter from all directions, I cannot help but back up the stand taken by the Messrs. Bourke and Ford. Considering that these gentlemen have not been In BrltlBh Columbia very long, I think that It Is to their credit that they have made such a stand, and though their objections were not sustained, I hope that other associations wlll take the matter up and successfully prevent the removal of the tax upon Chinamen coming Into Canada. I notice that the resolution only asks for the removal of the head tax from those Chinamen that wlll be employed aa agricultural laborers and domestic servants, but what Is to prevent them branching out In other lines, such as mining, as In. the coal mines on Vancouver Island. Mr. James Johnstone ls quoted, in the papers within the last day or so, as saying that. 30 men could be given employment at the tyelson smelter. If such Is the case and labor trouble become acute what Is to prevent these imported Chinamen lining these positions. One would think that Mr. Johnstone would know that by applying to the different agencies in Winnipeg he could get hew arrivals from the old country sent out here to do any work lhat he requires to be done, but, and it is a very big "but" too, the men that come out will not stay long on the mls- erable.wages offered by the fruit growers.' It will only be a few weeks before they find that they can do a lot better In other lines,' earning considerably more as unskilled laborers. To counteract any influence that this resolution may have, I would suggest that the Trades * Labor council, the Nelson branch of tha B. O. Mining Association, and other Interested parties take the matter up without delay. "MINING. Nelson, August 1.

If organized labor Is determined to capture the chair of the presiding officer of the senate, thereby placing a mat on the threshold of the White house, why should not this mun be John Mitchell? Indeed, he seems to ba the logical candidate of labor.

QUEER WOMEN'S HOTBL OPiENhUI New York, Aug. 1—Tho new Throwmnrt Inn, a hotel for young women under 35 nnd earning at least 912 u week, was opened hero todny on Abingdon square, in what Is called old New York, it Is within a stone's throw of the business center whence Its permanent guests wlll principally come from. The cost of a single room for one person nnd Including breakfast and supper, with luncheon on Hun- days and legal holidays. Is 9b per week. Those willing to share their room with a friend, will have to pay ■$1.50 a week each. XV, R. II. Martin, who built tho hotel, after plans which he had matured tor many years, was prompted by the desire tu furnish a hotel to young unmarried women, having no homes nnd earning fair salaries, where they can live cheaply and comfortably and where they can find not only tho ordinary comforts of a boarding house, but amusement and entertainment with-** out additional cost. To that end he has supplied a good sized library, contnlntng works of referenco and good fiction, a gymnasium, n dancing hall with a mechanical ' piano, a sewing room with a number of sewing machines, flat irons and boards, to enable the young women to mako, mend or press their own clothes.

Tho attendance at the nightly practice of the lacrosse team at the recreation grounds last evening fell oft considerably from what it had been and the lacrosse club officials ask that it be made known that players who expect to catch a place on the team against Regina must turn up for practice. No player will be allowed on the team unless'he be in good condition and this can only be obtained by practice. ' The following are the schedjile games in the N. L U. to be played next Saturday: Cornwall at Toronto; Montreal at Shamrocks; Nationals at Capitals, The Vancouver and Maple Leaf lacrosse teams will play an exhibition game on Wednesday afternoon next. The teams are well matched and are proving a great drawing card. As the lacrosse excitement now runs high in Vancouver, tbe teams are taking advantage of their chance to rake ln some extra money. The Trail and Nelson junior baseball teams will play a game at the recreation grounds next Thursday afternoon. The local boys promise a good game. The same two teams met here on Dominion Day and the Nelson boys won out rather easily after a good game. Since that time, however, the smelter boys have been practising steadily and are said to have a new battery and aro coming down with a bunch of rooters prepared to wipe up the Nelson team.
