VOL. 5 NELSON, B. 0., TUESDAY, JANUARY 82, 1907 MACDONALD CONFIDENT liberal Leader Returns From Tour of the Province ! Will Spend Thb Week la tne Booadi y and Not la Kaslo and Slocan J. A .Macdonald, the liberal leader, .arrived In the city at 1:80 a. in. yesterday from his tour at the Island anl the lower mainland. Mr. Macdonald Is in splendid health ■aud full of confidence of the outcome •of the polling on February 2nd. That victory for the liberal cause Is in the air was unmistakably manifest tn the ■quiet assurance that characterised the liberal leader's review of the situation. Mr. Macdonald has been agreeably surprised at the enthusiasm that he has met with thoughout hi stour. In elft'ry •constituency liberals are working with ■the utmost harmony and with vigor "that haa never before characterised a -political campaign in this province. Mr. Macdonald specially referred to the magnificent fight being put up by the liberals tn Vancouver, Victoria and Kamloops. In Vancouver everything indicates a splendid liberal victory. Three seats will undoubtedly be captured from the McBrlde government and local workers claim that there will be a clean .sweep. The conservatives acknowledge that they are not well organized and that there is lack of enthusiasm in their ranks, but confess to believe that they can re-elect finance minister Tatlow and MacGowan. Bows-r ts deemed to be out of the race and but little hope Is entertained of again ■ending Jimmy Garden back to Victorh. In Victoria the liberals are united, enthusiastic, and confident of reelecting the entire ticket. The outlook on the island Is exceptionally favorable- Such seats as Comox and Esquimau are freely conceded to the.liberals, making a gain of two where the liberals already hold seven out of twelve, the MoBrlde government only having three, the other two being held by socialists. Mr. Macdonald heartily eulogised tho splendid work done by W. W. B. Mcinnes on the island. Hla return to provincial politics had greatly strengthened the liberal cause on the Island, where he was best known, and in Vancouver his candidature has given a zest to the campaign that Is the best augury of BUCCS88. In the dty of New Westminster, Howay is making a winning fight. Good old John Oliver has an easy thing of It In Delta and Is now out stumping in the Okanagan, Yale and Lillooet districts. Charlsy Munro is perfectly safe In Chllllwack and Weart will win In Richmond, -where (Carter-Cotton 1b being driven from pillar to post by the visor and effectiveness of Mr. Weart's canvass and platform addresses. One ot the most Interesting contests in the whole campaign Is htat being waged In Dewdney by Bob Jardlne .against premier McBride. Mr. Macdon- .ald held a meeting at Mission In Jar- tdlne's Interests and he was struck by tthe enthusiasm for the liberal cause dls- ' played by the vast majority present. .Dewdney cannot by any means be con- considered safe for the premier. Macdonald was unable to speak In Yale, Lillooet and Cariboo districts, hut his reports from these ridings are entirely satisfactory. Ei-attorney-gen- eral Wilson is having a bad time of ' It in Cariboo. The electors there aro not so Ignorant of public affairs as he had anticipated. They all want to know | why he resigned and as he will not gki I them his confidence, they point blank [decline to give him theirs. It was In Kamloops that Mr. Macdonald encountered the moBt emphatic evidences of liberal determination to sweep the McBrlde government out of office. Attorney-general Fulton Is a beaten man now. He has called tn help and A. 8. Goodeve, the rejected of Rossland, Is hurrying to his assistance. John D. Swanson, the liberal candidate, has developed unexpected strength as a canvasser and as a public speaker. He has at his back an enthusiastic campaign committee, made up of all the old time liberal workers and a large number of business men who heretofore have supported the McBrlde government candidate. Kamloops will In all likelihood Mr. Macdonald held several meetings I in the Okanagan district in behalf of j Dr. K. C. McDonald and the best evi- > dence of the critical state of affairs there [ tor the McBrlde government candidate, li Price Ellison, Is the fact that premier McBride has cancelled other dates to hold three meetinga in the riding. Price Ellison may save his seat, but the prospects are anything but hopeful for him Just now. At Revelstoks on Saturday evening Mr. Macdonald addressed what waa said to be the largest and most enthusiastic political meeting ever held In that city. Caley's candidature appears to be very popular and certainly the reception :."e I liberal speakers received at the -nesting would Justify the Inference thnt Tom Taylor cannot again carry the sear DATED SALMON CANS Wholesale Grocers Want Pure Food Bill Amended I (Bpeolal to The Dally Nsws) Vancouver Jan. a-rhe wholesale grocers exchange has forwarded a pressing petition to Ottawa urging that th. clause of. the pure food bill requiring that tho date, of the salmon pack be stamped on th", cans be eliminated. It Is claimed that no good result would follow the scheme and that the action would paralyse the market! Cor years to come. , • Ht'lLBON'S NSWS OF TUB DAY The mnyec aldermen and city engineer] nre Invited toy the. AUTS-X-nalmera-llUilock, Ltd., to go down this morning and lnBp*ct the city power plant. If all Is well tha plant will start upon its IS day approval run. The party wilt go down on the train leaving at 9 a.m. today. Tho Btreet car service wns storied yesterday bo fur aa clearing the recent heavy Bnowfall off the line as far as where the court house now stands. Ths prevailing soft weather packed the snow, down, on the rails making the Job of opening up the. line a rather difficult one. It Is expttted that during today the whole line will b. in running ordor from end to end... Mr, Macdonald returned to Rowland yesterday morning. He will add.tsa a meeting ot his supporters this evening and on Wednesday evening will speak at Trail. Thursday and Friday Mr. Macdonald will spend in the Boundary district, addressing meetings at Phoenix and Greenwood on Thursday evening and at Grand Forks on Friday evening. The last week ot the campaign will find htm In the Slocan and Kaslo ridings. Mr. Macdonald Is not the man to claim over-much ,but his decided assurance ot a sweeping victory was so marked that it is quite certain he has seen and heard sufficient during his tour to absolutely satisfy Mm that the liberal cause will be successful on February 2nd next. Mr. Macdonald expressed the warmest appreciation, of the splendid work being done in this campaign by Mcinnes, ex- Judge Henderson, Jobs Oliver, T. S. Baxter, J. W. Weart and others; he was also greatly gratified at the enthusiasm he found everywhere among the campaign committees. He thought his own campaign committee over In Rossland was about the best on earth, but he had seen committees In other districts that would fairly rank up with his own. Mr. Macdonald asked particularly after the prospects ot Dr. Hall, In Nelson, John Keen, in Kaslo, and J. Fred Hume, In Ymlr. He Is most anxious to have these men with him at Victoria. He realises tljafthe great Interests ot the KootenaysTtsVe never been adequately recognised add he feela confident that wlh strong support from these ridings coupled with the weight of Dr. King, of Cranbrook, .he will be able to accomplish much that has been too long neglected. ' Mr. Macdonald ts an ardent BrltUh Columbian. He realizes as few men in public life do the vast potentialities if this provh-e and he knows that, given the opportunity, he can do a vc.y gr.•>.*. deal to place British Columb!.. on an Infinitely more prosperous and stub's basis than It is today, or ever has brr.n. He has no sympathy with. th3se bluo- ruln talkers who suggest the possibility of British Columbia ever being lo financial distress and unhesitatingly asse- ■« that under wise, progressive administration, Its resources can he d*)v*.t3,v ed as never before and along llnis that will Inure to the benefit of all the |ieo- ple. Liberal leader Macdonald has (he air of a victor. He knows the tide is running with him and he realizes that shortly after February 2nd he will be called upon to form a government. ORE TCJUOAN WILD ACCIDENT ON GREAT NORTHERN AT PHOENIX AIR BRAKES FAILED TO WORK AND GREW .TUMPED (Special to The Dally News) Phoenix, Jan. 21—Very early Saturday morning the Great Northern had a wreck here, which fortunately did not result In any casualties. A train of 11 60-ton loaded oro dumps had Just left the Oranby ore bins and started down the .switch-hack, when the air brakes failed to work and the train began to run wild. The train crew, finding that they could not control It picked out good spots in the snow and Jumped to safety. The runaway continued about a mile to the end of tbe swlt-ch- ■back, and came to a standstill, when the engine began to climb a tree, and stopped In a position of about 46 degrees, the ore cars being left on the raits behind It. No one was injured and assistant superintendent Smith of the road, with a gang of men succeeded In putting the engine on the rails again. The engine, which was one of the heavy seven hundred class, used for ore traffic, was not badly injured and after a little repairing will be In service ' again. The same night the C.P.R. had a small' wreck at the Rawhide ore bins, where a couple of ore dumps were run off the rails but were soon put on again. Now that soft weather Is prevailing,' after the extreme. cold spell, It Is not expected that the railways will have as much trouble In handling freight as they have fon some weeks past. The present weather will also assist the water problem to some extent, this being, In winter time, a difficult problem for the C.P.R. to handle between Phoenix and Eholt, most of the streams being froxen -solid at this season of the year. NINES SCORES WITH NELSON ELECTORS Holds Closest Attention of Largest Audience Ever Gathered Here for Two Hours and Wins an Ovation on Closing His Masterly Address- Liberal Victory Assured on February 2nd It was a splendid meeting that.took place In the opera house last night and those who waited so patiently to hear W, w. B. Mcinnes were fully repaid. He made a great speech, great not only*, or even chiefly, in manner, but great in matter. It waa a powerful indictment of the McBrlde government and a forceful refutation of the attacks that have been made on the liberal party by the McBrlde government apologists on the platform and In the press and by the socialists. For upwards of two hours Mr. Mcinnes held his audience entranced and In clear, convincing language he brushed away many of the fantasies premier McBrlde and his lieutenant, W. J. Bowser, spun here recently with a view to diverting attention from the established record of their maladministration and corrupt relations with corporations, A considerable portion of Mr. Mcinnes' speech waa devoted to answering a bitter attack made upon him by J. T. Mortimer, recently from St. Vincent, Minnesota, who spoke on behalf of socialist candidate Frank Phillips. Mr. Mcinnes very effectively punctured the charges brought, against him by this spell-binder from the other side and In the course of his remarks in this connection he gave a Nelson audience, for the flrst time, a plain, unvarnished statement of socialist leader Haw- thornthwaite'B real position In the public life of this province. In order to do anything like justice 'o the long and interesting speech made by Mr. Mcinnes it is Impossible to more than very briefly record the preliminary proceedings. George P. W«tta presided and called upon liberal candidate Hall to flrst address the meetings Mr. Klrkpatrlck followed, expressing his entire approval of the Kalen lalaal. Vernon ft Midway and Columbia k Westtem deals. J. T. Mortlmore, who appeared on behalf of Frank Phillips, occupied his full time allowance and devoted it chiefly to a bitter attack upon liberalism In general, and upon that stalwart representative of liberalism, W. W. B. Mcinnes, In particular. Mr. Mortlmore Is a forcible speaker, but his hatred of Canadian liberalism Is so Intense that tl blinds him to facts and his tirade contained many statements either utterly false or grossly misleading. He met with a very kindly reception from socialists In the audience and it was noteworthy that he had the good sense tn a British audience, to put forward some kind of an excuse for the outrageous attacks that have been made upon the,Union Jack by some of his comrades in this campaign. When chairman Wells introduced Mr. Mcinnes the applause that greeted his rising testified abundantly to his popularity here as In every other section of the province. But hearty as was his greeting at the commencement of his able address and continuous as was the applause that greeted every point ne scored, it was as nothing to the outburst of unmistakably sincere spontaneous applause that testified to the effect his utterance bad made upon his audience when he resumed his seat, Mr, Molnnes voiced bis regret at bav - ing had to disappoint the audience before him twice, but was glad that they had paid him the compliment of turning out In such numbers to hear him. "I had hoped to listen to something in the way of a rub from Mr. .Mortlmore but to my amusement I find that he has nothing new. Just the same old rubbish. I can only notice It in passing as it refers to my record. I am running tn the city where the labor vote Is the largest In B. C. I have run five times In labor constituencies and have won every time. I am not afraid of Hawthornthwalte and would, be glad to meet him at any time. He does not work. Has not worked, except to work the working man on the platform for years. Years ago he worked for a corporation. He haa not worked with his hands since." The speaker denied the story of an attempt to Join the socialist party and offered to retire from the campaign if any one could prove that he had ever tried to Join the socialist party. In reply to an angry socialist Mr. Mcinnes said: "Don't get mad my, friend; remember that 'whom the Gods would destroy they flrst make mad.'" "I can tell my socialist friend," said Mcinnes, "that right now In the mines of Vancouver Island, miners are working longer hours, are working harder and longer than tbey have for a quarter ot a century. Where was that giant of socialism who has had the government by the throat for the last three years? Just making a noise. When you hear men making a noise about working men, distrust them. Trust those rather who have by their dally lives shown their real feelings toward the working man.. If Dr. Hall has treated from day to day all classes In a manner to show that he respects the man with a smutty face, just as much aa he doe* a man with a boiled shirt, give him your support as a real friend of the working man, rather than these loud talking, frothy protestors." (Applause.). The Natal Aat sju then turned to. The attitude af MS m C. government was tbat despite cat altitude of the imperial government, it was the desire of the government at Victoria that thlB should be kept a white man's country. ''Five times the Natal Act was passed and turned down by the government at Ottawa on account of the imperial government. What was tbe action of this conservative government, controlled by these socialists? Did they keep up the good fight? Did they pass again this act to keep it paramount before the Ottawa government? No; my friends, they passed it by. They let It go. Now when we pass it again, as we will, they can say to us, are you In earnest; why did you not keep it up. But we will keep it up Until It goes through by force of the earnestness of our endeavors." "Aa to my attitude in the past I -2- fer you to the words of my political opponent, Mr. John Houston, in a recent Interview which appeared in the Spokesman-Review. Mr. Houston there gives his opinion of me as a man to be depended upon." Going on with his reply to tbe socialists Mr. Mcinnes touched strongly on the well known fact tbat the socialist members of the house who backed up and helped tbe McBrlde government In the notorious give away, "potlach" as Mr. Mcinnes expressed It, of the 800,000 acres of public land to the C. P. R. in the Columbia ft Western Act. In tbe matter of labor legislation he scored heavily, assuring his bearers of his own Bound attitude and at length he explained the many dangers that attended hasty legislation of this kind. He promised ibat he would always hesitate, and he knew that the liberals would always hesitate, to Introduce any labor legislation except that which they knew would be effective and entirely free of any possibility of results that would upset labor conditions. "I should suppose that Mr. Bowser thought I was going to run in the city of Nelson. He haa produced a tissue of frothy words that can like a bubble be dissipated by a touch of a finger. He has asked why t came back from the Yukon. Well, In the first place, I did not come back to please Bowser, and I can also understand that a man like Bowser would stand agast at giving up anything. I have not given up $12,000 In a country where that sum Is only equal to about 13,500 ,to get on'r $800. No, I will get a better salary than that, I will get $4,800 and my pay will begin February 3rd. Surely tbls will appeal to my conservative friends It is not a thing unparalleled that a young man like myself should, at a time when history Ib in the making, return to the firing line, when sir Charles Tupper once returned to Canada from a position of ease and comfort to offer his services to the great conservativj party, the liberals did not howl graft. They honored him as a patriotic though mistaken Canadian. "Now ladles and gentlemen they ue very keen to know why I resigned. L*n me In turn ask them about the resignation of Robert Green. Why bave the electors never been taken into the confidence of MoBrlde and told the reason of Green's resignation? It Is said that a pressure of private business caused this resignation. Now you know all about this gentleman and you know that any private business he has could be attended to by a school boy in half an hour per day. No, that wv nor. the reason, the real reason. Thai whs of a nature that he dared not rer?al. MoBrlde knew tt was of such a natuie that If revealed would hurl him from the saddle." Mr. Mcinnes then passed to th3 res- ignatlon ot Hon. Charles Wilson, attorney-general, pointing out that he too dared not give his reason and that be dared not run again in Vancouver, preferring to bury himself In the wilds of Cariboo and there take up a hopeless fight. Last election he had been one of tbe "solid five' 'of Vancouver, now there Is a new "solid five," which the liberals on February 2nd will make the "salted five." Why, he asked, had Green disappeared from the fight; why had Wilson gone to Cariboo? Why, but to run away to cover up the secret of the reasons for their resignations. He apologised tor the word, although, he explained, it had been used on the same platform by Bowser, the word "rotten." He felt sure hla hearers would agree that tn the matter of the resignations of Green and Wilson, there was "something rotten In the state of Denmark." Green's resignation he showed, resulted lu tho immediate dissolution if the houso when Btich action bod not In any way been contemplated toy McBride as a mutter of fact but two days before Green's resignation the call had gone forth for the assembly of the house, but this h>>d boon Immediately cancelled on Green's dropping out, and the elections precipitated. There were grave reasons for Qreen'H resignation, graver possibly than anyone guessed, and on the face of It they could not be other than that there ■were facts tn connection with the lands rtnd Works department which .wayld have come out on the house rennsembf-ing and that Green dared not face the pOHslblli- tles. The people of the coast, more in touch with the actions of the governajjsnt, are the ones who are ripest for a change. The government Ms -been In power for three years and we know that their reoord Is one of bungling, of'-Incapacity and knowing this wo will beat them this time with' a certainty. We camo within nn ace of It lust time. And now under a lender who has the confidence and respect of I'UI classes, we will win out handsomely. Three years ago we won eight seats on the Island. This time we will win ten. Vancouver will return five liberals, and so It' goes all nlong tho line. That is the reason I say my salary will begin on Fob. 3 "I will now turn my nttentlon to the alnlm that McBrlde saved B.C. from bankruptcy. ThlB is the most nonsensical trash. B.C. has never been and cannot be bankrupt. How could It be with all this wealth of natural resources nnd grand opportunities. Ho; that band of amateur financiers were taken 'by the throat by a bunch of bankers and frightened into borrowing d.- 000,000 at 5 per cent. Think of this. Why I know fanners on Vancouver island who can bonirow money for less thin this. Then so far from being In the financial straits that they pretend, they hnve not used hair of this sum yet, and you are paying interest on this money, though half of it -lies uncalled for. So much for their financial difficulties and the bungling manner In which the McBrlde government handled them. The B.C. Southern scandal was next touched on In trenchant terms, Mr. Mcinnes explaining how the McBHde government has refused to make the railway company pay the taxes It should pay. Had the government collected these taxes it would have been entirely unnecessary to pass the iniquitous assessment act which Increased everyone's taxes W per cent on property and 100 per cent on personal property, whereas a great and nidi corporation had been allowed to shirk and dodge its obligations. The amount that .should have ibeen paid by the railway company was more than enough to make It unnecessary to Increuse the general taxation. The government, declared the speaker, had been most unbuBiness tike and lie Instanced the tremendous tracts of very valuable timber in the northern part of Vancouver island which were being given away to speculators nt but a fraction of a reasonable price—to speculators and not to the men who would develop It—to the speculators who bought only to sell again at a profit. Millions of dollars worth of timber had thus been practically given away. Mr. Mcinnes snld he believed that u good ■business administration could so handle the (resources of the province that it would soon not be necessary to levy any taxes. He instanced a concrete example In the reserves held by the Ontario government In Cobalt, as a result of which but a short time ago one 40-aere reserve of Cobalt had been sold by tender, bringing a million and a quarter dollar--.. With the tremendous resources of B.C., of timber, of coal and of lauds, a .similar course might easily free the province from taxation for ever. Tho matter of "better terms" Is a simple one. Years ngo the provinces entered into a partnership, Now, as might hftVe been Hupposcd. as the years have gone by, It hae been found that things hnve not ran as smoothly as the might, nnd have from time to time required adjustment. ThlB simple matter ot u business adjustment was taken up again a short time ago. McBrlde alone, of nil the premiers who gathered, went alone. Other premiers went -with ministers to assist them. It may be that McBrlde knew that he had nolnnn in tho cabinet lit to take with him. Ho did take a newspnper man with him and he ■went to sent out to the const bulletins ns to the great hero McBrlde waa making of himself. One would have thought that he was reporting a prize fight. No such thing was going on there. No more dignified body of men ever gathered In Canada th-an those who were there nt that conference. They were there to calmly consider the claims of onch province nnd fairly award, to each what was fair to each. Now, MoBrlde, either because he did not understand the case he had in hand, on because he had no desire to do other than raise an election cry, bungled the whole matter. Then, when he had found that he could not run the whole show, did he retire In -a dignified manner? Did he net as a statesman should? No. He rushed out, slammed the door behind him and at once began to accuse his brother premiere of having treated him unfairly and of being dishonest. Now, when you think of this, you must acknowledge that so long as human nature remains os It Is, MoBrlde has put himself out of court for ever so far as better terms are concerned. He has accused the only tribunal from which better terms can come, of being dishonest- He can never again appear before them and hope for consideration. It will remain for a liberal leader like Mr. Macdonald to go. ns premier of B.C., to a new conference of premiers nnd there, by an able and statesmanlike presentation of the claims af B.C., get what wo ore so clearly entitled to. refused, but Instead of (forcing the C.P.R. Into the courts to prove Ub contested claim to the lands, tho MoBrlde government had, deliberately handed the lands over. Then ho showed how ths meddling interference of minister of finance Tatlow, had stopped, work on the Midway and Vernon road, the only possible explanation being that, the Midway and Vernon would be a competitor of the C.P.R. In the one case everything had been done for the C.P.R.,) In the other nothing was done but to stop] the building of the railway, and that because It was not the C.P.R. If the liberal party cannot come into power without selling themselves to a corporation like the C.P.R. it will not come into power at all. If the liberal party cannot remain In power without making such an alliance as McBride has made with the (C.P.R. that party will go out of power and remain out as long as the C.P.R. controls the situation. j The Grand Trunk Pacific situation was then taken up and the claim that there was any connection between this road and the liberals of B.C. was punctured. There was no reason why a five cent piece should be given by any party to this road. They had only four years more in which to build this road and would have to get In and drill In order to complete It In time to prevent the forfeiture of 15,000,000 put up, as a bond. The history of MoBrlde In connection with the G.T.P. and the C.P.R. was made clear und the business methods of the McBrlde government contrasted with that of the old Si wash chief who had sold slmllan lands to tlie Kaien Island property at J7 per acre, to the great credit of tlie SLwash. In a most eloquent and thrilling maimer Mcinnes swept to a conclusion that ftrltly carried his audience to Its ifeet In a burst of frantic cheering. i Referring to tho relations existing between the MoBrlde government and the C.P.R. and with the government's efforts to divert the attention of the country from thnt guilty connection, Mr. Mcinnes alluded to the notorious refusnl of the McBrlde government to tax C.P.K. East Kootenay lands, to say nothing of the Iniquitous grant of 800,000 ucres of land to the C.P.R. In tho ColumbVi and Western grant. In detail the speaker went Into this; grant showing that It was not a new matter, that the mad had been built and running for years, and that for all those years the C.P.R. bad been begging and importuning succeeding governments for tho lands. Kvery previous government had LEADER AT REVELSTOKE ROUSING LIBERAL MEETING HELD ON SATURDAY. COMPLETELY ECLIPSED PREMIER'S HELD A WE3K EARLIER. {Special to The Daily News) Revelstoke, Jan. 21.—"Tho moat successful political meeting ever held in Revelstoke," was the verdict of liberal aud conservative alike after the great gathering In the opera house on Saturday night at which liberal leader J. A. Macdonald was heard lu a masterly elucidation of his party's policy and a lulling and incontrovertible ar- ) aignment or the misdeeds and blunders of the MoBrlde administration. Of the meeting held here by MoBrlde and Bowser a week ago, local conservatives have boasted that It was a success tbat neither Macdonald nor any other opposition speaker could equal. As a matter of the fact It was totally eclipsed by the Macdonald meeting, not only in the matter of attendance hut In enthusiasm and appreciation of the points scored lu a masterly speech. The meeting was presided over by mayor Brown. E. A. Haggen was tbe flrst speaker and he devoted himself principally to telling criticism of local matters, showing how shamefully the constituency had boon treated in public works despite wild promises just prior to the last election and then Lefeaux, ihe socilalist took his turn making fun use of tho chance to propound the tis'ial socialist propaganda. Candidate Frank Cayley spoke hut shortly, making a manly and effective appeal for the votes of his hearers. He was given a splendid reception. Leader Macdonald spoko upward of an hour and a half during which he was constantly intermit.el by outbursts of applause as he nibde point after point in his most effey.wo style. All the main issues of the campaign were touched upon at more cr less length. Mr. Macdonald spoke very strongly on the question of irrigation, showing how the government had so completely neglected its plain duty and had In fact not even made tbe matter au excuse for its usual promises until the opposition had come out with its clear cut policy. Mr. Tom Taylor, the conservative candidate was on the platform and was given full opportunity to speak. He received a very good hearing but failed In a labored attempt to answer Mr. Macdonald's scathing criticism of McBrlde and his government. Mr. Alex Henderson of Vancouver closed the meeting in a characteristic fighting speech which aroused the greatest enthusiasm. He confidently predicted victory for Cayley, and waa answered with cheers. The meeting has confirmed the confidence of the liberal- workers here who state now that Cay- ley's election is asBurred.

OOOM000000000 Toronto, Jan. ai—The trouble between governor Bwcetenham or Jamaica, and admiral Davis of the United States, Is creating much comment' here. President Byron' E. Walker, of the bank of Commerce said today: "If the news received exposes the whole situation, I think it Is a case of unfortunate Inability on the part of governor Bweetenham to appreciate one of the most friendly acts the United States hay shown to England. There may, of course, be Borne unexpected circumstances between the lines that may alter the facts as now set forth, but I do not think there Is. I think the governor was annoyed at real' .admiral Davis landing und setting up (his flag without some formalities or red taae." New York, Jan. 21—The declination of sir James Alexander Bweetenham, the governor erf Jamaica, to accept American aid has resulted tn the departure of the American warships under commander rear admiral Davis. It Is also learned) thai Bweetenham has refused the offer of the United States war department to send 10,000 rations to Kingston. It is reported that the city council of Kingston met after the incident became known and at once disapproved the English governor's action. It not only sent a letter of regret to rear admiral Davis, but usked liltn to reconsider hi^^Jeeision to leave and to remain with the American ships, as ovary aid was still urgently needed. Admiral Davis replied that he had no alternative but to go in accordance with the desire ot the constituted authorities. English newspapers comment on the Incident Is unanimous in regretting the occurrence and in expressing the hope that tho good relations existing between the United States and Great Britain twill not be endangered thereby, Ivondon, Jan. a—After a conference today between the otllclals of the foreign otllco and the officials of the colonlul otllce. the latter cabled governor Sweetenhum oC Jamaica, for his version of the situation which led to the withdrawal of rear admiral Davis' warship from Jamalm on Saturday. Nothing has been received from the governor concerning any phase of the Incident up to noen and tils report in reply to the specific request of the colonial officii is now -anxiously awaited. No persons were mora surprised ut the action of governor Sweeten-ham than the olliclals of the foreign office who learned the first particulars through the press.

The house should have news within a week Whether or not he still intended to resign. Ue had pressed trim to 'reconsider withdrawing from the cabinet, but might have to accept the resignation.

LAID TO REST, Funeral of the Late Mrs. A. Audet— Unusually Large Attendance, The funeral of the late Mrs. A. Audet who died so very suddenly on Friday last took place yesterday morning. There was an unusually large attendance of sympathizing friends testifying to the esteem in which the deceased lady was held. At 8:16 yesterday morning the remains were taken from tbe Nelson House to the church of Mary Immaculate, where at 8:30 Rev. father Alt- hoff held the solemn Catholic service for the dead. The interment took place In the city cemetery. The pall bearers were: John Plill- bert, H. Couture, George Bourchard, A. Kerr, Thomas Madden and Joseph Sturgeon. The casket was covered with many beautiful flowers sent by sympathetic friends. Mr. and Mrs. A. Julien and Alfred Julien, of Ymir, parents and brother of the deceased, in addition to the bereaved husband, and the brother and sisters residing In this city, composed the sorrowing family party at the church. Mr. Audet said last evening that he specially desired to express his great appreciation of the kindness and sympathy extended to him by the people of Nelson, on his sudden loss. *J Just Arrived!

Tbe government organs believe tbey have at lust discovered something that will prove a "counter Irritant" to the notorious Kalen island deal and Its scandalous revelations of the relations of the government with certain persona At recent notoriety. It Is well known Utt agents of the O. T. P. railway com pany have completed a deal with an Indian tribe in tbe north under which ths company hopes to acquire 13,000 acres ot a reservation, the consideration for the title of the natives to the land being |7.50 per acre. The dominion government, as the guardiaa of the Indlsinn, has no objection to their selling out their interests in the land, but the provincial government of premier McBrlde, with Its usual readiness to make a grandstand play, boldly declares that 1' will not be a consenting party to any such sceme for the benefit of a corporation at such tremendous expense to the Interests of the province! Thla Indian land Is adjacent to the townsite ot Prince Rupert, and who knows, they say, what It may be worth In the course of a very few years when a great city has arisen In the north! Considering all the facts one would perhaps naturally assume tbat the land In the townsite proper would be of more FOR SALE J. G. PROCTER.

Nelson, B.C. value than the land that Is merely In the neighborhood of the townsite, yet the former was sold hy the McBrlde government for a dollar an acre. In the present Instance the G. T. P. people were compelled to deal with the Indians direct for what was, at the best, but a provisional title; but the negotiations for the transfer of Kalea Island wero facilitated hy the previous transfar of the property to close friends of the McBrlde government. If the G. T. R. people had not discovered by its former experience the character of the special "friends" of the government, and had conducted their negotiations for the acquirement of a complete title to the Indian reserve through them, tbey might have been more successful. But the "friends" have had nothing to do with this deal. They have had no opportunity to take three quarters of the money paid by tne railway company, as they did on the former occasion. Hence McBride's grand stand play. ALAS POR CONSISTENCY. In an nttempt to create local prejudice against W. W. B. Mcinnes, one of the five liberal candidates, the Vancouver News-Advertiser, edited and owned by Hon. F. L. Carter-Cotton, says "vote for the solid (tory) five, all RESIDENTS OF VANCOUVER." At the same time. Hon. F. L. Carter- Cotton, a. resident of Vancouver, Is running In Richmond! How would ho like It It hlB own friends in thnt constituency should publish a manifesto, saying: "Vote only for, , A RESIDENT OF RICHMOND!" And the once Hon. Charles W'lson Is offering himself for election In the conservative interest in Cariboo. Mr. Wilson is a resident of Vancouver. How would he like It If Mr. Cotton, In the News-Advertiser, were to advise the electors of the north to vote only for RESIDENTS OF CARIBOO? If Mr. Cotton Is consistent, he must condemn every man who runs In a riding In which he does not reside; that Is to say, he must condemn himself, his one time colleague Mr. Wilson, nnd his own leader, the premier of British Columbia, Hon. Richard McBrlde, who being a resident of New Westminster, Is running for Dewdney nnd Victoria' McBrlde Is a resident ot neither of the constituencies which he Is contesting. A DIPLOMATIC BLUNDER. The government of Jamaica has been guilty of a diplomatic blunder in refusing the aid of the American navy so promptly and generously proffered on receipt of news of the disaster which overtook Kingston last week.

But governor Sweetenham has chosen to follow president Roosevelt'? ungracious example, and has turne.t aside those who came to him with sympathy and help, on the ground that the British Empire Is well able to look after her own possessions.

Anticipating the query which appeared In Sunday morning's issue of The Dally News, asking how much the London Financial News would charge, at regular advertising rates, for a ■puff" similar to that which It recently, gave the.McBrlde government, the 'Vancouver World says: Speaking at Nelson In 1898, on the occasion of the general election, Mr. Turner was reported to have said: "I could secure the Insertion 'of an article favoring my policy in any London paper on paying £100." Mr. Tnrner was then premier of this province. A general election was in progress and he was addressing a meeting of the electors on behalf of the government candidate. Some of his hearers insisted that he indicated the London TlmeB as one of the purchasable organs. But this he afterwards denied, and he is entitled to the benefit ot that denial. Among the writers who supported Mr. Turner's statement was Carter Cotton, then, as now, editor of the News-Advertiser, nnd then, as now, a candidate for the local house. It was a bold statement to make, but It was accepted by Mr. Turner's friends as true. It appeared that one ot London's financial papers, (It may have been and likely was the Financial NewB), had assailed Mr. Turner'B Mlcawherlsm and extravagant policy. This assault he resented wifff the remark we have quoted. Mr. Turner Is now In London where he discharges the duties of agent-general for the province with singular efficiency and zeal. There are portions of the News' article thnt would seem to show that It was written by someone who had more than a passing or speculative Interest tn retaining this government in power. EDITORIAL NOTES. In Rossland the MoBrlde government candidate, Lome, A. Campbell, inana- ber of the WeBt Kootenay Power and Light company, Is making a bid for support on the ground that he is not a "quitter." He instances as proof of his bull dog tenacity.his fight against the city of Nelson in the matter of the power plant. He told a Rossland audience on Saturday night that he fought John Houston and tbe city of Nelson to a standstill and could- always be counted upon to stay by his guns. On Saturday the A. P. (handled by the C. P. R. In Canada) sent out Its first report of a liberal campaign meeting. Referring to the address delivered by W. W. B. Mcinnes in Rossland, It quoted him as saying: "If the liberals are returned to power, they will give you a stable government, an honest government and an Independent government. We want a liberal government returned to power supported by good honest liberals, a government which wilt be Independent of the labor element and of the socialists. If we can't get along without the labor element and tbe socialist element, we wilt go back to the country, rather than seek to carry on the affairs of the government with such aid." It is difficult to understand the carelessness which allowed the C. P. R. to send out a despatch so condemnatory of premier McBride's methods ot holding on to power; but It is easy to appreciate the welcome the manly, Independent statement made by Mr, Mcinnes will receive at the hands of the great throng of electors who are disgusted with the socialist domination of the existing government Did we hear someone say that R. F. Green was going to stump the country for the McBrlde ministry? Two cabinet members have quitted McBride, and yet no explanations are forthcoming. What deep secrets they must be carrying locked up In their breasts. It McBride had nothing to fear from a revelation ot the the causes which led up to the two dramatic secessions, he would take the people frankly Into his confidence and tell them why his two ministers left him at critical hours. His very silence condemns him. It Is a plain intimation that he dare not speak. Rev. R. N. Powell, pastor of the Methodist church, Is In a peculiar position. He Is looking-for a good natured man. He wants to tender the man his warmest thanks, but he has no Idea who the man Is. Someone has had a telephone Installed In the parsonage and has paid for It tor six months In advance. Mr. Powell appreciates the kindness, but Is absolutely In the dark as to the identity ot his benefactor. "Comrade" Mortimer hit the local conservative candidate pretty hard on Saturday evening when he declared, In ringing tones, that the man who cannot get on a platform and tell, the people what he thinks of public Issues haa no - right to represent them In the legislature. Mr. Mortimer's words of scorn brought down the house. A. 3. Goodeve, ox-mayor ot Roasland, and for a brief period provincial -acre- tary In the McBrlde government, hu started out on a stumping tour. Mr. Goodeve Is chiefly knows to tame ss the bitter opponent of organised labor. He dare not go on a platform In Roasland, but is sent out to the coast to advocate the claims ot the McBrlde government for the support ot wage earners. Where Is R. F. Green? Why did attorney-general Wilson resign?; If defeat In a municipal campaign Is a sure presage of defeat In a provincial election, then Lorne A. Campbell will assuredly be snowed under In Rossland. Price Ellison is fighting a losing battle In Okanagan. He has wired premier McBrlde for assistance and the premier Is withdrawing from his forlorn attack upon Smith Curtis In Similkamcen to hasten to Price Ellison's aid. The opera house was packed to the doors last night. Many who went to stay found entrance impossible ant had to go away disappointed. The magnificent attendance, in spite of unpleasant weather conditions, anl the enthusiastic welcome accorded Dr. Hall and W. W. B. Mcinnes, should give a fair indication ot the strength nnd vitality ot Nelson liberalism. "The reliability ot the liberal press," says Mr. R. J. Clark, defeated In his aspirations tor the conservative nomination in Nelson, "may be Judged trom their accounts of the situation In Richmond. Until the day before nomination they reported five candidates In the field and the Hon. F. L. Carter-Cotton certain of defeat. The exaggeration of the first halt of their statements amounts to 160 per cent. There are two candidates In the field, Instead ot five." It Mr. Clark will consult the papers he himself edited and published from January 6 to January 17, he will find therein the names of four candidates for Richmond. If he will consult the coast-papers of the same dates, even the News-Advertiser, of which Mr. Cotton himself Is the proprietor, he will find that five candidates had announced their Intention to run and that some persons even, went so far as to say there would be six. Until the day of nomination, of course, no authentic lists could be published. Those compiled by the various papers contained the names of men who had admitted their own candidature or who had been placed in nomination by party conventions. On Saturday the formal and official nominations were made; on Sunday The Dally News gave a revised and correct list ot the candidates actually in the field. Before making such absurd statements as that quoted above, Mr. Clark should stop and do a little thinking.

There was no new business discussed, 'but several matters were laid over until Monday night. The principal work effected was the sulking of the standing committees for the year. There wore present mayor Qlllett, aldermen Irving, Selous, Annable and Mc- Morris. After the minutes of the previous meeting had ibeen read and approved the following committees were struck: Finance—Rose, Selous, Irving. Works—Hume, Irving, Annable. Fire Water and Light-SelouB, IVse, McMorrla. Tramway, and Henlth—Anna'oie, Rose und Selous. The Are wardens appointed were aldermen Selous and McMorrla. The meeting of the council was fixed for each alternate Monday at 8 o'clock In the evening, to begin next Monday niglil. The pay roll wns then adopted. A written tender of $300 for advertising Inside and outside the tram corn for the year by George Uorstead was altered and accepted (by the council to rend $180 poo annum for the Inside only, the same rate as that paid last year. Various coal firms claimed a less through the defective state of the city scales and asked for a better inspection. Alderman Selous stated the law called for an Inspection once a yoar, ibut if the municipality were liable it would be better to change the system. He therefore moved that tho matter bo referred to tho city solicitor, which was done. Tho consideration of the reports of the various departments was deferred until next Monday.

Fa Yesterday Wftfl held h me**t!nir of tho directors of the fruit Growers' association In whicli arrangements were rnndo fur today's mooting which takes phtco nt 2-p.m. In the beard of trade rooms. Apparently there Is little doing In the ranchers' eirclos Jusl at present Tor" tills Is perforce the Idle time of the year. Yet this afternoon Will lie set I led certain m-tittcrs for nnd by tho ranchers which may make all the difference to the success or non-success of tlie Benson's business. During the past year or so the Kontenny fruit growers have compacted themselves Into a oorporntB Institution for the better selling of their products to a market outside of the province as well us that within it, it has been recognised, Wisely enough, tli-at no one farmer nr rancher pan, and at the sume time do justice tu his ranch or farm, crop his product! and market it to the best advantage. Further that It he attempts lo do so oft his own bat that lie will not only be at the mercy of the [buyer but will be exposed to the perhaps unwitting and unwilling competition of his neighbor. For tlit'so purposoB was consolidated the Kootenay Fruit Growers' association, a local nnd commercial branch of lhe B. C. Fruit Growers whloh, la con- tradiatlnctlon, Is merely a society of people Joined in tlie one industry. Util ns far as Nelson is concerned the doings of the local society twmscend .In importance lhe interests of the provincial society and tho meeting of the local association which Is taking place today for the election of officers for the coming season .'ind year, Is one of importance to the city. There are several divisions ot opinion ns to the method In which the work is to be carried out, but the general feeling Is thnt these nre to be subordinated to a discussion of the methods In which the products of tho d 1st riots Immediately contiguous to Nelson can be marketed at Hie ■best advantage to tbe ivanchers, rmmedlately following will be the annual meeting on Wednesday of the provincial association for the tlrst time held in Nelson, at which there Will lie addresses by government officials and experts employed by the provincial government on the best methods In various d->i>artnicnts of ranching, which are of general Interest to all in tin- Industry und which in Die past have proved to be money makers for tho members of the society.

Today news was received of the finding* of two bodies in the Deer Lake district, across Saskatchewan river, about 60 miles west of Davidson. The todies were partly devoured ■by wolves find could not be Identified, but It Is believed that they are the remains of two homesteaders. No trace of any horses Is reported. Ono man was lost on the prairie near Long lake, 30 miles east of Davidson and waa frozen to death. BRANDON SCHOOLS SHUT No Puel is Available and Cold ts Intense —Outlook Is Serious Brandon, Man., Jan. 21 — The public schools of this city did not open* this morn* ing, as they are entirely out of fuel. The situation Is getting serious again, with little prospects of early relief. There has been no wood in the city for nearly two weeks and many people especially the poor classes, are entirely out of both wood and coal. The city authorities have about H» tons of coal, principally hard, on hand. What soft coal they have on hand they refuse to give to the schools as they are holding It for the private use of cltlsens. ST. EUOENE CLOSED Shut Down Bm.iuso Cold Snap Stopped ■*•>, Puel Supply Moyle, Jan. 21—The St Eugene mine and milt have practically ceased operations. A few men are working but not many. The sole cause of tbls la the extremely cold weather which has prevailed. The temperature was 48 degrees oelow zero at Bank- head, whence the supply of coal Is obtained and they could not get coal out of the mine, as the air motor, which Is used for drawing coal out of the mine, was frozen up and it was found Impossible to keep it going. As the weather is moderating, coal will soon be obtained again and things will be In full blast here. Sme of the men here are talking of going away, but they are ndvlsed to consider the matter very carefully before doing so. The cause of the shut down Is not local but general. There Is an nhsolute certainty of a resumption of work here within n very Bhort time, and a person g^lng away would be likely to spend several titties as much travelling as he would on board if he remained here. Besides he might after spending such money have to come back here to get work. NO RECIPROCITY IN PRUIT ■Grimsby, Ont., Jan. a—A largely attended mass meeting, of fruit growers of the Niagara district held here on Friday condemned the action of the directors of the Ontario Fruit Growers' association in appointing a committee to confer with the Horticultural association of the state of Michigan relative to the Inauguration ot reciprocity in fruit between Canada,-and the United States, The following resolution was passed; "We disapprove of the action of the directors of the Ontario Fruit Growers' association In stating that the tariff on fruits is to high, when the Increasing expenses in fighting insects and diseases, the high prices of labor, scarcity and high price of fruit packages, and the enormous cost and loss in transportation are considered." AT THE THEATRE) The enormous business done by George H. Summers and his big stock company all .along the lino from Toronto to the cosst is but a Just tribute to the best organisation of Its kind In existence. Equipped witf) every requisite to success It Is giving its patrons more for the money than was ever attempted by any similar attraction and the management Is reaping Its reward for keeping frilth with the public. With 17 people, five big vaudeville features, a car load of scenery and effects, and a repre- tolre of plays never seen outside the large cities, Mr. Summers will open this engagement at Sherman's opera house tonight in the clever comedy "Mrs. Temple's Telegram." ISLAND COPPER MINES Ouggenhelms Bond Sev-urol Important Properties Victoria, Jan. 21-Interest in prospecting for and the preliminary development of numerous copper gold quarts properties ■at the southerly end of Vancouver Island has been vastly stimulated by the appearance In this district of an agent of the Guggenheim*, by whom several of the most likely prospects have been bonded for substantial amounts, pending examination and report by an expert now 00 his way here from England. Among these are the three claims owned by D. Campbell and John R. Colllster at East Sooke, 3 1-2 miles from deep water, to which there Is an sasy grade and clear right of way for an serlsl tramway, and a group of claims at the headwaters of the north fork of Leech river, owned separately by "Cap" Martin, Sam Flnley. William Shelton and W. P. Jaynes. The option on the former Is understood to be at $100,000 and on the latter flfiO.000. p The plans of the Ouggenhelms for this locality Involve the erection of a smelter nnd development of other properties of the district as well as those whloh have been bonded. The Campbell-CollIster property has showings 150 feet wide, which can be traced for nearly 1000 feet Workings aro down about GOO or 600 feet and show the face of the copper body at 80 feet. The nssays have shown high values; a sample taken from the workings at rsn- dom and which can be taken as sn average asmy, showed a total or $30.60 In all values to the ton, mostly of copper. There was a trace of gold and a trace of silver. The ore Is copper pyrites. The terms of the option which has bean taken on the property by an agent of the Ouggenbetms, are that the property fs to be purchased for 1100,000, of which 10 per cent It to be paid down within 20 days from the dale'op'whli'.i' tW dptlbs was given- For 33 Years Shiloh'i Consumption Cure, the Lung Tonic, has beta before tbe public, and thW, together with the iset thai iu lalet have steadily inaeaied yen by year, ii lhe b«t proof of the merit ef Shiloh a* a core for CougK Cold*, am) all dueaiet of the lungs end air passages.

Negotiations are going on for the bonding of other properties In the vicinity, but nothing definite has been accomplished to date. Penis are pending for several properties, not only on Bnst Sooke but on Leech river and the west coast. The Ouggenhelms are also negotiating for an Iron deposit. The development of properties trlbutnry to Victoria and the erection of a smelter which Is contemplated If the options are taken up by the Guggenheima, will be a valuable addition to the many new Industries whose operation will benefit the city. Many are the Industries that have been added to those of Victoria and tributary to Victoria within the past few months, and more nre projected. A large saw and planing mill Is being built on Esquimau harbor, another sawmill for Sooke river Is spoken of by capitalists who are now dealing for a large area of timber lands approached from Sooke, a steel rolling mill and large shipbuilding plant is to be established on Esquimau harbor, a recently organized oyBter and fish company will plant 100 acres In Euqulmnlt harbor with spat of rnstcrn oysters, nnd will sultlvate largo oyster beds for the local and foreign market, capital Is being secured for a fishing company to engage In deep sea Ashing on a large scale with a fleet of cod flBh- Ing Bchooners iind transfer stenmers operating from Victoria—these and many other Industries ore being projected whose operation will mean n great advancement of the material Interests of the city of Victoria.

To the Electors or the Ymir Biding Gentlemen: As the unanimous choice of the liberal convention in the Ymlr riding I am before you as a candidate for representative of the Ymir riding In the next provincial legislature. In this connection I desire to solicit your votes and influence in my behalf. I will visit ail parts of the riding between now and election day, time permitting. Believing that every candidate should place himself on record on the main Issues, I take thla opportunity of stating that I am In favor of tbe following: (1.) All public lands should be held for actual settlement, lands suitable for agriculture should be surveyed and plans of same kept at the government otllce of the district for the Information of intending settlers. (2.) I am not In favor of granting land or cash subsidies by the provincial government to aid the building of railroads that when built are owned by soulless corporations. (3.) Prevention of the Importation Into the province of Chinese, Japaneee, Hindus or other Asiatic peoples for the purpose of competing with white labor. It.) The eight hour day for men working In metalliferous mines and smelters Is now generally acceptable as legislation In the right direction and I will oppose any legislation that would repeal the penalty clause, or in any way Impair the effectiveness of said law. (5.) Mining, agriculture, and the timber industries must not be hampered in tbe way of unjust taxation, which should be based on the treatment and manufacture within the province. (6.) Trunk roads and trails should be built and maintained at government expense, and the cost of roads and trails to isolated mines and communities should be borne in part by the province. Yours respectfully, J. FRED HDMB. Do you need a comfortable home? If so try the Madden House. Well furnished rooms lighted with electricity; with battle: first class board. In the bar you will find all the best domestic and imported Mailers and cigars. THOMAS MADDEN, Prop. To the Eleetops of the Nelson City EMmI District Oentlemen: At the uanimous request of the liberals ot this constituency I have allowed myself to be a candidate In the approaching election. I do so because I believe the Interests of the Interior ue and have been In the past sadly neglected and although Nelson Is tha most central and the chief Inland olty has fared the wont of any constituency In the province. Although I am a liberal, I am not suoh a strong partisan that I cannot see faults In my own party and those who know me must admit that I have the courage of my convictions aad wherever I see errors or Injustices I will do my utmost to correct them. Pre-election promisee 1 do not believe in, for in a young and growing country conditions may so change that to carry them out would not be to the best interests of the province. The following are some of the principal things that should receive Immediate attention: To asslet the development of our mineral resources. A labor bureau and Immigration policy as suggested by J. A. Macdonald is a capital Idea. Full Information wltb maps and plans for Intending settlers should be supplied. A railway policy without bonuses by cash or land but by giving equal privileges to all and special privileges to none. Our civil service should be taken out of politics and put on a sound basis. Our timber resources sboud be carefully guarded. In short our natural resources should be preserved and developed (or the people. I believe In a progressive policy but at the same time maintaining an equilibrium between, revenue aid expenditure. Yours respectfully, «. A. B. HALL. MADDEN HOUSE BAKER STREBT, NBLSON, B.C.

W. R. ROSS WILL NOT MEET HIS OPPONENTS. (Special to The pally News) Fernle, Jan. 21.—Tbe Interest and excitement manifested In tbe municipal contest which was waged In the city during the past week has now been transferred to the provincial political arena and each day Bees increased activity in the political organizations throughout the riding, and before the 2nd February next fruitless energy will have been expended. Mr. W. R. Ross and his partisans are fighting the fight of their lives, apparently realizing the hopelessness of their cause, for though the conservative candidate Is broad shouldered and a magnificent specimen or young Canadian physical manhood, the load he has to carry, the sins of omission and commission of bis party, is too great for even his herculean strength. He has as yet shown no burning desire to meet his opponents on the public platform to discuss the issues of the day, for though invited to be present at the big Mclunes meeting he was conspicuous by his absence. much to the regret of a large portion of the audience who were curious to hear his explanation of. certain actions of the government of which he was a member. On the other hand, W. M. Picket} fa gaining strength every day; hie organization has ben perfected and he has the hearty support and assistance ot a united band of enthusiastic workers who have taken off their costs and are throwing themselves into the fray with a spirit that spoils victory for their candidate. Several public meetings will be held In his Interest between now and election day, at some of which J. A. Macdonald, the liberal leader, has signified his Intention of be' ing present, and it Is to be hoped that when the conservative candidate has somewhat recovered from the pitt'o his party Is In, he can be induced to try conclusions on the platform wtth hiB opponents. The socialists held two meetings during last week in the Interest of W. If. Moore, J. D .Mortimer being the drawing card, but the progress made by pie party does not warrant it being considered a serious factor in this election. Altogether, the feeling of ,he liberal party in the riding is one of great confidence In their ability to elect Mr, Dlcken, and this confidence Is ie- coming more deep seated as the campaign advances and tbey see the desperate plight their opponents are In all over the province. FAST ATLANTIC UNB. C. P. R. Will Build New Vessels Without Delay. Montreal, Jan. 21.—It Is stated unofficially that long before the promoters of the Hacksode Bay Ship Company have their line in running order, and long before they can hope to have any vessels on the ocean, the C. P. R. will bave established a fast line of steamers between the Old Country and Canada. Sir Thomas Shaughnessy has despatched Mr. Piers, the steamship manager of the C. P. R-, to the Old Country with Instructions to undertake arrangements for the building of new vessels for the fleet. Mr. Piers will place orders within a month with one of the largest ship building firms on the Clyde tor two ocean llnan. These will exceed the present Empresses In accommodation and will have a guaranteed average speed of not less than twenty-three knots. They will be among the finest liners afloat. PULL OF POLITICIANS Greenwood has Two Meetings In one Short Day (Crowded out of Sunday's Issue) Phoenix, Jan. ls-Phoenlx waa full or politicians yesterday and two meetings were held In Miners' union hull on behalf of the various candidates for the legislative assembly. About noon a special train arrived on the Great Northern from Grand Forks, brining premier MoBrlde and K. Miller, conservative candidate for Grand Forks riding, In whloh Phoenix Is sltumed. In, order to get in a meeting between Grand Forks and Greenwood, In which latter place tha'premler spoke last night, the conservative meeting was held here in the afternoon. Although the hour was Hot tbe best, a fair audience assembled to hear Mr. McBrlde and Mr. Miller. The premier gave a talk on the work of his administration, showing what had been done by the government In tbe three years It had been In power and stated that there was every evidence that the government would be returned with an Increased majority. After the meeting the party was driven to Greenwood, where a meeting was held last evening in the Interests of E. C. Warren, the Greenwood conservative candidate in that riding. Last night the socialists held their first rally of the campaign In Phoenix, ami had representatives of all the parties on the platform, J. Mclnnis, the soclaJits candidate, spoke on what had been done by the two or three socialists now In the legislature. He was followed by E. Miller, the conservative candidate, who referred to the splendid financial showing mode by the present government. F. E. Simpson, editor of the Cranbrook Herald, and organizer for the liberals for tbe interior, spoke for the liberal candidate, who was not present, and tore down the former speaker's contentions. The meeting was closed by Benjamin P. Wilson, who told all about socialism and why tt should be universally adopted by all worklngmen. IS UNFAIR TO KASLO ARTICLE) WRITTEN TO .EASTERN PAPER BY CLERGYMAN INDIFFERENCE OF PEOPLE IS "AMAZING, ASTOUNDING" . The peopte of Kaslo will read with some surprise the following article, taken from the Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Patriot, which reprints It from the Presbyterian Witness. It Is supposed to be a letter from Rev. A. -Simpson, recounting his Impressions of the fruit town. If he is correctly, quoted, Mr. Simpson has not as good an opinion of Kaslo as most other people who visit that Interesting burgh have. Here Is the excerpt : "KasIo, where I am, Is a mining town on the west side of the Kootenay. lake, or about EOO inhabitants, and, like ull the mining towns of B.C.. Is anything but an easy place for ministers, To say nothing of the saloonB and gambling dens and worse places, the Indifference to the church and her services on the part of the people generally, notably on the part of the men, is to one like myself from the east, something surprising, amazing, astounding. Religion Ib about the last thing they seem to think or, the church the last place they seem to go. Fancy if you can, a church, so-called, without nn elder, without a male member, without a man to assist in the Sabbath school or prayer meeting—but such Is the church at Kaslo to which I was appointed a few weeks ago. Tbe people are Intelligent, agreeable, kind and all that, want to hive a minister among them, and are fairly liberal in their support but feel themselves under little or no obligation to attend the service he conducts; still.less to assume the responsibilities of membership. It Is a new phase of church life and work for me, that I hardly know how to deal with. There Is undoubtedly plenty of work here In the west foil the brethren who are coming from the east, but in the west generally, and particularly In B.C., it is work that calls for all the tact patience and courage they can possibly bring to bear upon It. The climate In this part of B.C. is mild and the scenery beautiful. I expect to remain for the winter."

WHOLE FAMILY DEAD Apparently Overcome by the Bitter Cold of Calgary Calgary, Jnn. a—A father, mother and a new born child dead, and two other children, aged two and four, probably dying, were discovered here on Saturday. A telephone message was received by the police saying that a family named Ferdinand, proprietor of a tannery here, had not been seen about for several daya. a constable at once went to the house and forced open the door, when he was confronted with the sight of Mrs. Ferdinand, portly dressed, lying on the kitchen floor.

JOHN HOUSTON WRITES SAYS HE IS NOT PUT UP BY SCHO- PIBLD IN YMIR. IS AN INDEPENDENT, NOT AN INDEPENDENT CONSERVATIVE. Editor The Daily News: In your issue ol Sunday a misstatement is mada In a special from Trail. The statement reads: "Houston Is put up by Schofleld, and will confine his attentions to those places where he can hurt Hume." During fifteen years of active political life in Kotenay, I have neither used "decoy ducks" nor have I ever been a 'decoy duck." I am contesting Ymir riding as an independent, not as an "independent conservative" as you classify me In your list of candidates. I am under no obligations, either political or financial, to Mr. Schofleld or any other candidate. That I will beat Mr. Hume I am confident, for I accomplished more in one year as a private member of the legislature than he did during his four years as a private member and two years as a member of the Semlin government, and the people of Ymlr riding know it. If defeated, I will not bear a grudge against any conservative or liberal for supporting the nominees or their party. But I believe a majority of the electors of Ymlr riding are independent thinkers on political questions, and1 that they, and not the minority of liberals and conservatives, should and will be represented In the legislative assembly when it meets In Victoria on March 24th. JOHN HOUSTON. Madden House, Jan. 20th, RURAL TELEPHONES Editor The Dally Ncws-Bo many of our politicians arc city meti that the questions which affect the farmers, miners and all who do not live In the cities nn* often overlooked. I proposo to point out In this nrtlclo what in my opinion Is the most pressing necessity to tlio rural population of this province and moreover to give reasons for my belief. If either political leader propped to abolish telephones in our cities ho would met by a most Indignant outcry from all parts and even the Kalen island question would probably sink Into liislgnlllcunco 'but if telephoned •'ire Important In tho cities, surely they ore of greater importance In the country districts; tho distances are far greater and the available messengers are fewer, ouch telephone message only naves a few minutes on the average In Nelson, whilst In the country the power to sptAk to a man at a distance would often save hours and even days of useless toll. All students of the problems which confront our modern civilization deplore the tendency of the population to drift Into the cities, and all sorts of wise people moralize on the degeneration of tho race caused thereby, and on the beauty and healthiness of country life, etc. They long to go and live in the country but they take very grt-at care that they never do; they would not be wise If they did. To live In the country means a hard and Isolated life even under the best of conditions and It is especially hard on the women folk. There are doubtless many compensations and they are supposed to learn to value freedom, Independence, etc. But It Is hnrd to keep up this heroic strain and tho bravest woman may well be forgiven if she should occasionally like to be Iobb Independent and have more neighbors, But there are very many practical sides to this question which must not be overlooked. The C.P.R. has had two holdups lately and on one occasion the robbers got safely away; Immediately there arose a cry for more police, but would It not be more practical to ask every farm, mine and logging camp of any Importance to connect by telephone, so that our police could locate the robbers ut once. We have hardly any violent crimes in the Slocan. becuuse would-be crlmlnnis know how hard this country Is to eioupe from, whilst down in the Boundary cuuntry serious crimes are much more frequent because n criminal has, a good chanco to slip out. Forest protection from fires is rightly a main plank In the liberal platform; again I say that the most practical way to preserve our forests Is to have every settlement connected iby telephone so (that alarms of Ures may bo promptly given and help summoned. Ask your Nelson lire chief how he would like to see the telephone taken out of the firs hall at Nelson.

Mr. MoUrlde claims, I believe, that ho bun such a gigantic surplus that he hardly knows how to blow It In—he should try a telephone policy In place of the railway policy which did not materialize. If only the parliament buildings at Victoria could be removed to some isolated spot in the bush two miles from anywhere and the telephone and telegraph lines cut off, the members of our legislature would 'be able to appreciate the force of these remnrks, and Brlttah Columbia would not continue to lag so far behind New Zealand, Denmark and other countries.

S. secretary of state Root was entertained ut luncheon today by the Canadian Press club. Sunday he spent at government house, where at dinner he met sir Wilfrid Laurler, Hon, Clifford Slfton, Jlon. W. 8. Fielding, Hon. A. B. Aylesworth and their wives. He talked freely to the press after his arrival, but stated that his visit had no diplomatic significance. "Mr. Root, there is n good deal of Interest In Canada In your visit, and a good deal f curiosity as to Its significance," was the first suggestion. "It will be easy," said Mr. Root, "to satisfy the curiosity of the"people if the simplicity of the explanation does not take us out of the category of newa, I am here because lord Grey when lie was in Washington last winter, was good' enough to Invite Mrs, Root nnd myself and daugli- ler to come to Ottawa. It Is purely a so- clal visit. It has not any political or governmental or diplomatic shii* at al, unless it lie this, that all affairs in this world go better when people know each other, and get to like each other. Tho great, cause of controversy among nations is misunderstanding, the failure of people In ono country to appreciate the point of view of tho people In another country. A better knowledge lends to n better understanding and better understanding to more kindly feeling and more reasonable treatment, Tho mcro exchange of friendly courtesy, in that view litis a political and government* 1 side. My visit has no other aspect than that." "Do you not think the feeling between tho U.S. and Canada is better now than ever before?" "I should be Inclined to say that la true. So far as I have been able to Bee there lias always been a kindly feeling towards iViiKiila in the United States." Good opportunity was given secretary Root to have a talk with the premier on Canadian nnd United States affairs. Although the conversation was, of course. Informal, It may result In good. There are a variety of subjects more or leas of an Irritating character, which might be settled between the two countries without having any recourse to BUCh tribunals as thai employed In the Alaska afflalr. It is no secret that Canada wants to avoid anything of that kind. There is cor instance, the division of tho waters and territory along the boundary line (from Pugot Sound on the Pacific coast, to the St. John river on the Atlantic coast. An understanding on the matter la desirable and tho CAnadlan government la willing to give and take to have this reached. The waterways commission la doing good work In this direction and Its recommendations may lead to u settlement which will be In the Interests ot both countries.
