C, SCSDAI, JANUARY 20, 1807 NO. 232 EULOGY OF MACDONALD Rossland Cheers Mcinnes' Tribute to His Chief I Eithultttlc Crowd Gira i Tmendeu OwtlMtt Liberal Cin* pallatrs (Special to The Dally News) Rossland, Jan. 19.—A great meeting held here tonight in the Interests of liberal leadsr Macdonald demonstrated beyond all question the Arm hold he has on the affections of his constituents. .\V. W; B. Mcinnes' eloquent eulogy ot his leader elicited a perfect storm of ap- I plause, which agalng and again broke ; out whenever reference was made to 'him by any of the speakers. Miners' union hall was crowded to the doors from 8 to 11. Every seat was occupied and crowds stood throughout what was certainly the most successful political gathering ever held In Rossland. Kenneth Martin presided, and the speakers who preceded Mcinnes were; P. J. Deane, representing J. A. Macdonald; L. A. Campbell, conservative; and Ferris, representing the socialist. Berry. F. J. Deane opened the meeting and took the opportunity of replying to McBride's speech of Wednesday night denied him at that time. He credited McBrlde with, being in some respects the cleverest public spesker in British Columbia public life and pointed out his masterly Ingenuity In evading all matters of real moment. In support of this contention, he asked the audience tn recall his challenge to the premier at Wednesday's meeting to.explain the resignations ot Wilson and Green, and the re-entry into -politics of D. M. Bberts. He then dealt ■with the "red herrings" of Ottawa domination and O. T. P. alliance, explaining fully the relations ot the McBrlde government with the G.T.P. and the many favors extended to them. Passing on to McBride's defense of the Kalen Island ideal, Deane showed, by the sworn evidence of McBrlde, Green and Bodwell (that there had .been no direct dealings. Me produced the official record of the ■evidence, and challenged L. A. Campbell •or any one on his behalf In the audience tto refute his assertions. He then took tup McBride's contention that the deal was good find In the Interests of tbe pro- itace, and showed that, in view of the scarcity of suitable harbors on the Pacific coast, with two transcontinental lines heading for the coast, it should have been the railroad companies coming to the government with generous offers Instead ot the government, through the mediation of adventurers urging the G. T. P. to purchase the Snest harbor on the Pacific coast for 110,000 He asked his audience to bear In mind thtt In spite of his diVect challenge to McBride to explain his conduct In the deal, the premier had evaded the question entirely. Deane next produced the petition ot ShaughnesBy and the bill ot | 1901 to reinstate the Columbia and | Western charter to the original status of 1896 as concluding proof of the utter ; falsity of McBride's specious defence of Ithe grant of 800,000 acres. He dealt ■briefly with McBride's refusal to explain -the failure of the government to collect the taxes due on the B. C. Southern lands and closed with a fervent appeal 'to the electors' of Rossland to show on February 2nd that the coming premier •ot B. C. had their whole-hearted support. 1,. A. Campbell followed. He devoted nl.j remarks exclusively to local matters, alleging that Roaslnnd had been ■disgracefully neglected during the past three years. No public works in shape of roads, trulls; no consideration In the matter of the 2 per cent tax had been shown and he blamed all this upon J. A. Macdonald. Ha claimed that things were rotten In the province and had been growing rottener tor the past nine years. If elected he would fight for Rowland's Interests. The Intense silence in which be resumed his seat Indicated that the ludlence preferred to leave the betterment of conditions in Rossland tn particular and in B. C. generally to J. A. Kecdoneld. a Ferris, on behalf ot Berry, the socialist, asked the working men of Rossland no vote' tor one of their own class and ■not for either a lawyer or a corporation pnansger. J W. W. B. Mcinnes, who hal left the ■Trail meeting at 8 p.m., and had been ■driven through the picturesque snow ■clad mountains, shimmering under the ■winter moon,.reached Miners' union ball lilt 9 o'clock. A storm of applause greet- I«d Mcinnes as he made his way through Ithe dense throng and only ceased some I minutes after he had been seated on ths I platform. Mcinnes opened his speech i by er-presslng his pleaaure in addressing | auch A large audience In the home of his distinguished leader, J. A. Macdonald. ' He then repudiated the foolish talk ot i«ny difference between himself and Mr. Macdonald and paid an eloquent tribute to the sterling abilities of that gentlemen, closing with the prediction tbat -when Mr. Macdonald was retimed tt the head ot a liberal government he would » down In the history of Canada as a statesman easily on a par with that other great Macdonald of conservatism. Attention was then turned to the McBrlde government. The unexplained resignations ot Green and Wilson were taken up and proven to show clearly tbat the present lack of any reasonable ft excuse for the retirement ot these men could only cover, some real reasons too dark and discreditable far tbe government to dare to reveal them. There was a feeling of intense resentment against such a government and that resentment, would be shown with no uncertainty in the return ot a full liberal list In Vancouver and a strong working liberal government. His Yukon career was briefly sketched, and it was pointed out that his return to British Columbia waa the natural result ot a young man's desire not to be burled away from the most Interesting province In Canada. Turning to the Grand Trunk Paclllc, Mcinnes pointed out that the time In which the road must be built was getting bo short that construction must begin at once and all talk of assistance to them by a liberal government was foolish and there could be nothing In an tbe talk about an attempt on the part of the liberal government at Ottawa to dominate the country In favor of this road. McBride's railway history was reviewed, and it was shown that he was willing to give tbe C. P. R. 11,600,000 for building a road that was afterwards built for nothing. The Columbia and Western land grab of 800,000 acres wss scored as showing how strong was the bias toward the C. P. R. on the part of the preselt government. The Natal Act was then taken up and the long struggle between the imperial policy and the provincial house outlined. The tight had been dropped by the He- Bride government, and great harm had been done by this failure to keep before the home government the cause of B. C. In her attempt to keep this a white man's country. Mr. Macdonald would tackle this matter by attaching the immigration bill to the supply bill and there could be no doubt of Its going through. The liberals will pass an Immigration act whether or not it pleases the government at Ottawa or the home government. "Better terms" then received attention. The question was shown tn be one of the working out of n bnslne, will receive almost the solid Lardo vote on election day. Said he: "The Lardo valley Is taking a great interest in the campaign of John Keen and'Ib working hard to secure his election by a huge majority. When Mr. Keen was up there last wesk, he met many old friends whom he so well served In the early days of the Kootenay. He also showed them how thoroughly conversant be was with the needs ot that particular part of tbe district which has been so disgracefully neglected by the government during the past three years of the McBride administration. "While the premier could give away ten thousand dollars to his own constituency, he woutd.not give a single .paltry $50 to help remove the rocks and fallen timber oft the trails to aid the prospector in continuing his work of uncovering the hidden wealth of the Ferguson, Trout Lake and Lardo valley camps. "The cry has gone up, 'how long must we bear It? When shall we have an opportunity to change this?' "Now they have the opportunity and are not slow to take advantage of it. They have grasped It fully, and are determined that they will be represented by a man who knows what ts wanted, Is well known to them personally, and whose Interests are their Interests, and who will In Victoria work hard tor the common benefit of all alike." MACDONAliD BfiflTJHNlINO (Special to The Dally Newe) Revelstoke. Jan. IS-The McBrlde-Bow- ser meeting hers Inst week, of which the conscrvatlvea have boasted that It was the best ever hetdlrr Revelstoke, wa. totally eclipsed tonight, when llbe/al leader .Macdonald, Alex. Henderson ot Vancouver and candidate Robert Cayley and others propounded liberal principles and criticised the government, before a gathering that Jammed the city hall to the doors. Macdonald was In great form and received n splendid reception.' Henderson ngaln roused the meeting to a great pitch of enthusiasm. Conservative candidate Tom Taylor was present and was given a good hearing. Caytey's ohances look good In Revelstoke. He will come to the city with a safe majority and the workers here are confident of Ihorenslni it. Micdoneld goes to Roasland Sunday and to the Boundary next week. CERTAIN OF 24RIDINGS Liberal Election Prospects Impartially Reviewed Ceuemtlm Sore of Twelve Seals, bat NtyTekeSliteei-One Social's! Safe The Daily News has secured from absolutely Impartial and authoritative sources in Vancouver, the following review of the campaign outlook'on nomination day: Vancouver, Jan. 19.—A gentleman here whose duties give him exceptional opportunities for guaglng, the political outlook and whose position ensures his dispassionate attitude, has prepared the following forecast of the results of the election on February second; Vancouver—Liberals sure of three seats, may carry four. Conservatives can elect Tatlow, may also elect Mac- gowan. Victoria—Liberals likely elect all four' candidates, but may lose one seat to conservatives, In any event, McBride will not be elected in Victoria. Of the other island seats. Bsquimalt, Saanich, Tbe Islands, Cowichan, Newcastle and Comox will go liberal; Nanaimo socialist; Albernl doubtful, probsbly conservative. Taking up the mainland constituencies outside Vancouver, he summarizes the situation as follows: Skeena, liberal; Atlin, conservative; New Westminster, very close, probably conservative; Delta, liberal; Chllllwack, liberal; Richmond, liberal; Kamloops, very close, with great likelihood of liberal winning; Lillooet, Information available so meagre as to make It difficult to express an opinion, but probably conservative; Cariboo, two seats, both liberal, Charles Wilson's csndidature not being popular; Revelstoke, extremely doubtful, but probably conservative; Columbia, also doubtful, but will likely re-elect Wells, liberal; Okanagan, doubtful, but Price Ellison will probably be re-elected; Simtlkameen, liberal; Greenwood, liberal; Grand Forks, conservative; Rossland, liberal; Ymlr, very close, probably liberal; Nelson, close, probably liberal; Kaslo, very close, probably liberal; Slocan doubtful, either socialist or conservative may head poll; Cranbrook, liberal; Fernle, either socialist or conservative. The gentleman front whom this review of the situation was obtained made some special observations. He pointed out that the liberals, generally speaking, were more united and better organized than the conservatives. This is particularly true of Vancouver, Victoria and Kamloops. In New Westminster Howay ought to win out but his municipal record has hurt him and Gilford Is likely to be re-elected. In Rtchmand, Weart Is practically certain of election. In Delta, Oliver will increase his majority. In ChllllwacK, Munro will be re-elected but his majority may be reduced. In Victoria, liberals are reasonably sure of ♦ ♦ ♦ GREEN'S LAMENT ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ (Copyright Applied For) e> ♦ ] am dying, Kaslo, dying, e> ♦ And my Job It fades away, ♦ ♦ Por they've trolled my pointed e> ♦ whisker < ; ♦ ♦ In the red-hot consomme. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ I followed Dickie blindly, ♦ ♦ Did bis bidding like a chump; ♦ ♦ Now tor me the gory basket ♦ ♦ Where my head falls with a e> ♦ bump. e> ♦ —-' ♦ e> "A press of private business," ♦ ♦ And It's me to the tall, sad ♦ •>' woods; - e> ♦ And my Job it goes a-begging ♦ ♦ For some man that's got the e> A goods. ♦ ♦ —J.

In Nanaimo, Hawthornthwaite's re-election Is almost a foregone conclusion. The conservative candidate, is admittedly put up to save appearances. Bhep- perd, liberal, will make a good run but Is hardly likely to seriously affect Haw- Ihornthwalte's chances. In Comox, Grant has killed his chances by dismissing white employes and' taking on Chinese and Japanese, In Bsquimalt, Pooley has nlso killed himself by neglect of his constituency. The same remark applies to Pulton in Kamloops, whose own friends admit that his prospects are exceedingly gloomy. In Yale It Is conceded that Semlin has lost'his former hold on the riding. He is regarded as too old to be of service and whilst he will poll a fair vote In the Immediate vicinity of his home, he will be very short of votes in the outlying • districts. In Cariboo, Wilson finds much the same situation as Semlin encounters in Yale snd no hope is entertained of hiB election. In Columbia it appears that Wells will be hard pressed but that he will' win out by a fair majority. Of the situation in the Okanagan, tbls gentleman says thst his', advices lead him to believe tbat Price Ellison will be sustained, although there is such a largo new vote and Dr. Macdonald Is putting up such a vigorous fight that the result will be in doubt until tbe votes are counted. In Simillta- meen, Shatford has privately admitted that Smith Curtis has the. best of the fight and whilst It was expected he would hold the seat, In view of his own confession of weakness there is very little doubt that Smith Curtis will win out. Of the Boundary and Kootenay seats this gentleman's information was not sufficiently detailed to permit ot his going into particulars at any length. He had reason to believe that in Greenwood Naden's prospects were the brightest. In Grand Forks he had expected Miller to win easily but recent advices hod suggested the possibility of Gregory making a very strong run. He had been advised tbat King was perfectly safe In Cranbrook, that Ross had reasonable prospects of success in Ferule, that Hunter would probably win in Slocan and that there would be a very close contest between Hume and Schofleld tn Ymir. Of the result in Rossland his advices from all sources were that J. A. Macdonald would be returned with a comfortable majority. In Nelson he was led to believe there would be a very close fight between Hall and Klrkpatrlck, but that Hall would win out by a fair majority. On the whole, he estimated that the liberals were sure of 24 seats and might possibly secure 26. Tbe conservatives were sure of 12 and might hold 16, whilst the socialists were sure ot one and might secure three. ^_^^ TRUE BORN CAMPAIGNER Traveling by Freight and Sleigh, Mcinnes Fights on Keeps Hot on the Trail of Piemler Mc« Bride-Warm TIm In Cold Cariboo (Special to The Daily News) On Train to Trail, Jan. 19.—Ten to twelve hours at a stretch on freight trains; days and nights lost waiting for delayed passenger trains; two unsuccessful attempts to make such connections as would enable him to hold a meeting in Nelson; holding on grimly, a true born fighter on the firing line, W. W. B, Mcinnes continues his tour of the Interior. Advertised to speak In Nelson last night, he arrived' in that town at breakfast time this morning. About thirty hours had been consumed in getting from Cranbrook. At 9 a.m. Just, a sufficient time to get a bite and a brush down, Mcinnes was away again to hold a meeting in Trull early in the evening and then drive up through the mountains to a later meeting at Rosb- lantl. All along the line from Fernle hla reception has been most gratifying. At no point has it been possible to secure a hall large enough to hold anything like the numbers that have gathered to hear tho eloquent and popular ex-governor of the Yukon. At every one of the meetings wild bursts of applause have followed one another ns point after point in the long endtctment against the McBrlde government has been proven beyond any question which might have lingered In the minds of thinking men. By the force of his strong personality and great knowledge of provincial affairs Mr. Mcinnes has completely nullified the effect of the McBrtde-Bowser tour and though compelled to take in some Instances the meek and lowly freight train rather than the lordly special and palatial private cars, freely afforded McBrlde, he has been hot on the trail of that party and has no difficulty In puncturing government pretentions. At Cranbrook hundreds were turned away long before the hour of opening the meetings and the responses were of Buch a nature as to leave no doubt but that those present were In hearty accord with tho liberal speakers. All reports that Mcinnes is being heckled by the socialists with any success are utter nonsense. A few feeble attempts at this have been met with a ready wit or a ringing rebuke that burled the objector under storms of laughter and liberal applause. Certainly W. W. B. Mcinnes Is "making good" in the widest application of the saying and the effect of his tour has been to settle liberal workers everywhere harder Into the collar and render more and more certain a sweeping liberal victory on Feburary 2nd.

James Brandon took the chair and after Inviting representatives of Mr. Schofleld to come forward, he said that owing to ths fact tbat a rig was waiting to carry Mr. Mcinnes to Rossland, he was Introduced as flrst speaker. He was sorry that McBrlde had not visited Trail and given an outline of the government Intentions, as so many policies had been announced to suit particular places. Tbe liberal party had but one policy and he then proceeded, lu convincing and eloquent terms to outline that policy. Particular attention was paid to the labor question; he ssld the liberal party was pledged to measures that would relieve the laboring classes from strikes and lockouts, and to care for those who. labor with their hands in case of old age or disability. He added white men should not be compelled to compete with Asiatic labor. The Natal Act was analyzed and he closed a whirlwind speech with a scathing rebuke on a government that had neglected to carry on the work of making B. C. a white man's country. Mr. A. S. Goodeve followed on behalf of Jas. Schofleld, and Mr. J Fred Hume closed the meeting with a clear cut and ringing speech, making clear his position with regard to the questions of the day. The large imdieuce testified by frequent applause that their sympathies were entirely with the liberal speakers. Mr. Mcinnes followed the lines of previous speeches In touching the school act, the railway lands and tallway policy, the timber lands and matters of taxation. OKANAGAN ENTHUSIASTIC Liberal Leader and Judge Henderson Address Meetings. (Special to The Dally News) Armstrong, Jan. 19.—In spite of but a few hours notice of meeting, there was a splendid turnout here last night to greet liberal leader J. A. Macdonald and Alex. Henderson, of Vancouver, who spoke on behalf ot Dr. K. C. Macdonald, the liberal candidate lu tbe Okanagan. The meeting was a great success from every standpoint. The meeting at Vernon on Thursday night was the flrst ot the campaign in that city and was the best meeting ever held In the constituency. The Old Fellows hall was crowded to the doors and despite the late hour of starting, the crowd remained till the Inst, evincing keen Interest and great enthusiasm. Leader J. A. Macdonald, Alex. Henderson, Duncan Ross, M.P., snd Dr. Macdonald all spoke at length. MoKelvie, the government apologist, was given ample time and a fair hearing. Macdonald followed, taking Mc- Kelvie's points in order and utterly controverting every one. The meeting Is ndmitted by conservatives to have been a big vote getter for the liberal candidate. The liberal workers are enthusiastically confident, and declare Price Ellison already defeated. IN COLD CARIBOO. Liberals and Conservatives Meet on the Platform. (Special to Tho Dally News) Qucsnel, B.C., Jan. 19.—A welt attended meeting here tonight was addressed l.y Jones and Yorston, the liberal candidates, Dr. Wade of Kamlops, and Wilson and Champion, the conservative candidates. Yorston made a splendid impression, and will be one of the strongest speakers In the house. Dr. Wade made a vigorous arraignment of the government's records and scored Wilson, who refused to state his reasons for resigning. Wilson made a flowery ora- lion without reference to a single Issue. This ts a conservative stronghold, but the indications are that a small liberal majority will be gained here. At 160- Mlle House a good liberal majority is assured and alt points between there and Qucsnel Forks, Qucsnel, Horsefly, Stanley, and Barkervtlle, all promise liberal support. The outlook is promising for the return by substantial majorities of Jones and Yorston. KEEN VS. McKAY. Fight in Kaslo Between Straight Liberals and Conservatives. (Special to The Dally New.) Kaslo, Jan. 19.—John Keen was nominated today by W. L. McLaughlin. Andrew Jardlne, John A. Hidden, Chas. H. Goodwin, Alfred Qreen and A. J. Curie. Nell McKay, conservative, was uomtnated by C. W. McAnn and A. T. Garland. They aro the only two in the field. PUT HOUSTON UP Schofleld Uses Him to Hurt Fred Hume's Chances. (Special to The Dally News) Trail, B.C., Jan. 19.—J. F. Hume, liberal, JaB. Schofleld, conservative, and John Houston, independent, received nominations hore today for the Ymlr district. Houston Is put up by Schofleld, and will conflne his attentions to those places where he can hurt Hume. Ymir looks good for Hume. ♦ ♦ ♦ MclNNBS ON MONDAY. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ W. W. B.

Barrister Marshall sprung a sensation Just at the close of the proceedings by protesting all save the conservative nominees on the technical ground that the papers read "City of Vancouver electoral district" instead of "Vancouver City electoral district." Returning offl- . cer Parkes refused to entertain the protest and ordered the usual poll. Hon. F. L. Carter-Cotton chartered the steamer Comox this morning and with a crowd of adherents started on a trip to Squamish to undo the campaign ' work of Weart( liberal) by secretly arranged meetings. Weart caught the scent of the trip and this morning started with another party in a gasoline launch for the place of meeting, determined to force his adversary to a Joint meeting, a phase of campaign work which Cotton has not yet dared to follow • because of his weakness in his,;own constituency. Chairman Wood worth, of the conservative committee, greatly weakened his party's cause here when at a public meeting he Indulged in a fierce attack on the judicial career of judge Henderson. He charged that he had shown evidence . of being politically warped whilo on tho bench and cited special instances. The attack has proved a boomerang of most pronounced type, as Henderson's probity la well, known. The attack will make f h«t-orHtctaw-L. -aandid&ta,. many voteB. SOCIALISTS CAMPAIGNING There were some 300 or 860 people present at the socialist meeting last night lu the opera house, a meeting which was largely attended by friends of nil parties. Dr. Hall was the only candidate who spake for himself, was received with a great deal of applause. One of the socialist speakers, J. T. Mortimer, whose utterances were much applauded by his friends, socialist and conservative, declared that John Kirk Patrick, as he hud hired people to speak for him and hod not spoken himself, was therefore unworthy the conlldence of the electorate. As n matter of fact neither John A. Klrkpatrlck nor Frank Phillips spoke on his own behalf. J. W. Holmes In opening, declared thnt the parties In power were parties of graft; governor Bulyea and premier Rutherfort and senators Watson und Slfton of Alberta had each -been given a civil mine as a Christmas box. Lumber had Increased r*> per cent in value of recent years of so- called prosperity, but labor had not increased in like ratio. Socialism stood for lftw and order, but If reform could nut be had by law and order it would be got tliu other way. It. J. Clark, after wittily commenting upon the assertions of J. W, Holmes, declared that ns the three candidates were all good men the Issum were not personalities hut parties. Tho socialists could not hope to make a. government, the liberals had no policy to present to tha people, the conservatives had formulate! a dbllcy. They were carrying It out ana they should therefore be supported. Dr. Hall In replying to previous speeches, declared that he would not vote for ivtsh or land subsidies for any railway. He declared that oa he had voted In the liberal association In favor of a lead bounty, nut favored by the liberal government, hu had shown —his independence. The doctor referred to his record on the scliuol board ami on the city council for good salaries ami short hours, J. T. Mortimer of Vancouver, entered at some length Into the bearings of socialism, declared that the press was getting huge salaries as tbe exponents of capitalism und that John A. Klrkpatrlck was not worth returning as he had to hire a speaker to speak for him. Mr. Mortimer argued in favor of third partes that they were able to get upon the pallumentary committees and so make pretended Mends of labor declared themselves In committee as they did in the house and not kill acts friendly to la>bor In a secret manner. Referring to the C, and W. land grant Mr. Mortimer asserted that the conservatives wanted to give the C.P.R. everything and the liberals tho G.T.P, everything. The quarrel was nothing to the working man. As to the Kalen Island steal the conser- . vatlves stole the hind but Ihe liberals had tried to steal It In pretence of South African war scrip. The cleverer thief hud won out. The liberal government at Ottawa, hearing the howl on the Hindus had sent Vorlnger, the head of the Doukho- bors back to Russia with a contract to get 10,000 starving Russians to work on the G.T.P. at tl per day. The last speaker, B. Wilson, npoke at great length on socialistic ethics in a speech whlleh would have served Its purpose equally well, or better In the United States, but which hud no reference to tha issues of the present campaign. \ '■ » ■ *M fr , ■—*"r jjr I ~ 1 (saBSaaa* ataa ri i l .WNMWM • 4MSMMM«sSlM>M ■ M .

A i*HANTASY The New Westminster Columbian saya;i At none ot Mr. Mscdonald's meetings haa he given the speaker on behalf, of the.conservative candidate a chance to reply to him. Mr, Macdonald reserves his address for the and. It is premier McBride's habit to speak Unit and give an opponent »s opportunity to ileal wltb Us main remarks at the meeting where they are uttered. This contrast brings into Btrong relief the confidence of Mr. McBrlde in the strength of the position he takes; and the lack ot confidence on the part of Mr. Macdonald. If the editor of tho Columbian, J. D Taylor, had vlBited Rossland with premier McBrlde early in the week, he would have found cause to revise his opinions. The speaker who represented lhe liberal party on that occasion was compelled to take first place on tho program, so that he not only had no opportunity to reply to McBrldo himself, hut was even refused the privilege of hearing and answering ths conservative speakers who preceded tie premier. Tho Columbian has every right to •uloglte Hon. Richard McBrlde as much as It likes; but for decency sake, It should strive to oonntae itself to facts, or at least, to something resembling facta. ."-"tlM ttiiLf BBWSV MLBOM. l\, (j..

If a business man were to borrow 11000, paying E per cent thereon, to meet a 1500 obligation, agreeing that the loan should run for ten years, and then should carry the surplus $500 in the bank receiving only 3 per cent for It, ols friends would conclude that he had lost his senses. British Columbia's fln- iance minister has made a bargain exactly snalagous to this. He borrowed a million dollars, paying 5 per cent thereon, when half the amount would have sufficed. Now he has more than halt a million lying Idle, upon which he Ib pay. ing 5 per cont and receiving 3 per cent back. And this has to go on until the ten year loan expires. Richmond riding must be suffering from something approximating nervous prostration. At one time no fewer than six candidates threatened to tight for the seat; and exciting times seemed imminent. But with nomination day they evidently thought better ot it. One after another dropped out until only two remained, J. W. Weart, liberal, and Hon. F. L. Carter-Cotton, conservative. The seat Ib conceded to tho liberals by the Insldo workers of both parties. Salth tlie Victoria Colonist; "The Colonist does not know anything about the relations between the G. T. P. managers on the one hand and Messrs. E V. Bodwell, Peter Larsen and James Anderson on the other; nor ia it parti cularly interested therein." No wonder. The very fact that the Bodwella, Larsens and Andersons had anything at all to do with the Kaien island deal was enough to prove that the government did not deal directly with the G. T. P. It the Colonist were to know too much it might be compelled to make admis slons. So it prefers not to know. With the coast shivering In th double grip of the frost king and a fue famine, the Kootenay has the iaugh o those who live "where roses bloom in winter." The climate here Is quite com forlable. J. A.

The plain cold, hard tact of the matter is tha British Columbia docs not "pay" to th dominion anything near the sum cer tain people claim. The customs dan collected at British .Columbia porta ar not paid by British.

CRANBROOK'S LIBERAL CANDIDATE STORES HEAVILY. (Special to The Daily News) ..'• , Wardner, B. C, Jan. 18.—At a meeting held this evening in Club hall . In the interest of the liberal candidate for Cranbrook district, a very Important phase of the political situation was brought out. As Dr. King had, according to his prearranged plana, arrived in Wardner thla afternoon and by chance met Mr. Kelly and bis manager,, he was able to get not only Mr. Kelly but his chief spell-binder, Mr,. Delaney,. John Lehney, or Macleheny, by which different names he has been introduced in as many different parts ot this district, upon the platform. The result waa a complete exposure of the hand ot the Mc- Brlde-Hawthornthw'alte alliance, which is in this district playing a hard but losing game. Dr. King, after fully criti. cizing the more prominent features of the McBrlde government's record, fully explained the. forces working towards the bringing out of the third party can didate and also fastened upon the conservative candidate the full responsibility ot this district's 111 treatment by the present coalition government Mr. Lund, who represented Mr. Harvey, then addresacd the meeting and Jollied the boys In his usual manner, emphasising the good relations existing between the corporation which he represented and its employees but did not attempt to deny any of the statements made by Dr. King. His sole reason for opposing Dr. King is his desire to see the McBride government returned to power. Mr. Kelly then addressed the meeting. His time was taken up largely by reading his platform.. He failed to propose anything practicable in the way of political argument in so tar as the Interests of the people' ot this district are concerned and left the impression of incapacity. J. W. Hutchcrott followed. He exposed the Kaien island deal aud contrasted the government's action In regards tb the Columbia A Western with Its treat- ment of the Midway A Vernon. He also showed thst the real gift to the Dewdney district was 125,000 instead of 210,000. Then, taking up the matter ot platforms, he showed the. fallacy of Mr. Kelly's statement that the liberals have no platform and also thst that gentleman's platform Is taken very largely from the liberal's platform. During Dr. King's address, when the smelter bill was mentioned, Henery In terrupted him and made tho statement thnt he had been In consultation with Mr. Hawthornthwalte and had assisted that gentleman to draft the htll commonly known as the smelter hill and that he himself waa cognisant of the facta concerning its introduction into the legislature. This was a statement that created consternation in the ranks of Mr. Kelly, because of the manner In which-it was introduced; and it was very-evident to the audience that Mr. Henry is no less than a Hawthornthwalte agent In disguise. Dr. King then closed the meeting by criticising both Mr. Lund's and Mr. Kelley'a remarks concerning himself and said he felt quite confident of the result on February 2nd. It had. been very clearly proven that Mr. Kelly was but an innocent tool in the hands of the McBrlde-Hawthornthwalte alliance. It Is evident that the electors of the Cranbrook district recognize that Mr. Henry Is an agent of the revolutionary socialists and therefore It Is apparent that Mr. Kelly is In this contest In the Interest of the Harvey-MoBrlde-Haw- thornthwalte machine. The meeting broke up after three rousing cheers for Dr. King and the same for Mr. Macdonald.

The demand made by Nelson carpenters for an increase of wages has been repeated by the carpenters of New Westminster and Vancouver. The union carpenters of New Westminster have served notice on the contractors tbat on and after April 1 they will stand out for an increase in wages, and a few- minor amendments to the existing agreement with regard to hours. The men are now employed under a sliding scale, with a minimum of $3 per day of eight hours. According to the notice served on the contractors a niinunimn of $3.50 a day of eight hours will be demanded after the end of March. The men have also asked for a half holiday on Saturday, for which they will agree to accept half pay. The Vancouver carpenters, although now receiving a minimum of $3.50 a day, have demanded a minimum of $4.50 per day. The New Westlnster branch would no doubt have acted In full sympathy with the Vancouver union had It not been that they served their notice on the contractors before hearing of the action of the Terminal City union. Afl they are hound to give the builders three full months notice of any proposed change in the schedule, they aVe now too late to amend the notice and leave three months intervening before the old terms; expire. There are 48 members of the carpenters' union in New Westminster and about 75 carpenters all told. SIjBEPNIQ sickness gejrm Canadian Physician Makes a Noteworthy Discovery Lethbrldge, Jan. 19-A discovery of great importance has been mode by Dr. A. Watson, dominion bacteriologist, at the district quarantine station, six miles from here. He has Isolated tho germ known ns he Triphensesomes, whloh causes the disease popularlly known as "sleeping slcknese," ■which Is one of tho scourges of Central Africa. Dr. Watson has imparted to some of his friends tho Interestlnc Information. The dread fferm was, obtained from the blood of a cotton tail rabbit, which scientists captured for tho purpose of expert-^, mentation and which apparently had >fle disease of which rabbits have been dying In great numbers th^ughout tho north country and In British Columbia this white. Every seventh year the dlsenae sweeps the rabblta almost out of existence, only the hardiest surviving. During the succeeding seven years, the virus gradually accumulates in the systems of the rabWta till -another scourge again deelmlnfttes them. ThlB happens to toe the fact this year. The blood smear of the cotton tall. -when mounted on a glass Bide and focused under tho powerful lenaa of n microscope, showed a Inrge number of oreinlsisms which were uqite lively. The germ has only been Isolnted a few times. An English physician, who went to Central Africa to study tho disease, sacrificed his life. It lias ulso been Isolated In India. The discovery of it in rabbits is, however, entirely new. Fix Your Own Price Choose your own cloth—you know bast what you need—I know best the -way to make It.

K-XKXXXXKXXXKXXXXXXKKXXXKXJ OF INTERESTTO MINERS CEMENT Cements ars a group ot mineral substances consisting essentially ot argll- laclous magnesian limestone or ot mixtures ot clay und lime, which after cal- eluullun, pObC&U the property of hardening In cQuiuct with water, this property being due to the crystallising energy developed by combination of water with the silicates of lime and alumina formed by the cu.clnattou. It Hi usual to divide cements Into two classes, Roman una Portland, the former being derived from natural rocks and the later from artificial mlxtutes, but in as much as Portland cements are now made from natural rocks, a better classification Is "natural" and "artificial." Natural hydrauilc cements are made trom nodules of calcareous (limey) day called "septarla" which Is tound In the clay beds of the Tertiary period and also from arglllomagneslan limestones occurlng abundantly for the moat part In the upper Silurian rocks. Tne analyses of most of the American natural cement rocks shows tbe presence of. too much magnesia, which makes them unfit tor Portland cement, therefore they -ire made up Into tbe Roman cement. A goad Pot Hand cement rock will show an analysis giving results somewhere In the following limits: carbonate ot lime 68 to 78 per cent; carbonate of magnesia 2.5 to 3 per cent; silica and Insoluble .matter 12 to 18 per cent; iron and alumina 6 to 8 per cent. There should only be very faint traces, If any, at lie alkalies, potash and soda. The natural cement rocks.sultable for Roman cement as stated before give a larger percentage of carbonate of magnesia varying from 17 to 32 par cent; the other constituents are very similar 9SL 'S ONE WEEK Commencing Monday Jan. 21st The Summers Stock Co.

To the Electors of the Ymir Bidiog Gentlemen: As the unanimous choice of the liberal convention In the Ymlr riding I am he- fore you as a candidate for representative of the Vmlr riding in the next provincial legislature. In this connection I desire to solicit your votes and Influence in my behalf. I will visit all 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 this opportunity of stating that I am in favor of the 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 office of the district for the Information of intending settlers. (S.) I am not In favor ot granting land or cash subsidies by the provincial government to aid the building ot railroads that when built are owned by soulless corporations. (8.) Prevention of the Importation Into the province of Chinese, Japanese, Hindus or other Asiatic peoples for the purpose of competing with white labor. (4.) The eight hour day for men working In metalliferous mines and smelters Is now generally acceptable aa legislation In the right direction and I will oppose any legislation that would repeal the penalty clause, or ia any way impair the effectiveness of said law. (6.) Mining, agriculture, and the timber Industries must not be hampered In the way of unjust taxation, which should be based on the treatment and manufacture within the province. (8.) 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, 1. PRBD HUMB. MADDEN HOUSE BAKBR STREBT, NELSON, B.C. Do you need a comfortable home? If so try the Madden House.

McLaren, Baker Street _ | To the Eleetors of the Nelson City Electoral District Oentlemen: At the uanlmous request ot the liberals of this constituency 1 have allowed myself to be a candidate In the approaching election. I do so because I believe the Interests of the interior are and have been In the past sadly neglected and although Nalson Is the most central and the chief Inland city has fared the worst of any constituency In the province. Although I am a liberal, I am not such a strong partisan that I cannot see faults In my own party and those who know me must admit that I have tbe courage of my convictions and wherever I see errors or Injustices I will do my utmost to correct them. Preelection promises I 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 assist the development of our mineral resources. A labor bureau and Immigration policy as suggested by 3. A. Macdonald Is a capital Idee, Full Information with maps and plans for intending settlers should be supplied. A railway policy without bonuses hy cash or land but by giving equal privileges to all and spsclal privileges to none. Our civil service should be taken out of politics and put on a Bound basis. Our timber resources shoud be carefully guarded. In short our natural resources should be preserved and developed for the people. I believe In a progressive policy but at the same tlms maintaining an equilibrium between reuenue and expenditure. Yours respectfully, «. A. B. MUX. ROYAL HOTEL TELEPHONE a UBS. WM.
