In thc estimates for 1908-1909, presented
to parliament last evening the subsidy for
the Australian steamship line haa been
dropped. It amounts to $]_0._00. This sub-
«ldy expires next August and evidently
-will not be renewed. Although the service
Is not what It should be, still that Is not
the real reason for the discontinuance of
tho subsidy. As a matter of fact Austra-
lla's treatment of Canada In regard to
trade matters Is not such aa to encourag"
this country In providing trade facilities
for the Commonwealth, when the latter
continues to place tariff obstacles In the
way Instead of meeting the dominion government's repeated offers of preference,
Tho Deakln government pretended at one
He to be anxious for trade arrangements
wth Canada, but Instead of meeting Canada's advances seriously, they hnve not
only left Canada out of their preferential
list, but have raised the tariff against us.
The main estimates contain a number of
proposed votes for public work In British
Columbia, (he largest being; Columbia river

FOR M0NDAVS BATTLE
MULLIN AND FITZSIMMONS TO MEET
IN OPERA  HOUSE
LOCAL SPORTING MEN GREATLY INTERESTED
Sporting circles are greatly Interested
in the lb round glove contest whloh Is
scheduled to take place at the opera house
on Monday night between Barney Mullln
und Jack Fitzsimmons, and each man lias
supporters who says It Is a cinch that his
particular favorite ls the best man with the
mitts. Boundary and Crow's Nest points
will be well represented as a goodly number of the "lovers of the manly art" have
signified their Intention of coming and
sent along orders for seats, and ringside
scuts are now at a premium.
Thc contestants ate both hard at work,
Mullin's training quarters being at the
Bodega, where he does some fast boxing
for three-quarters of an hour ln the afternoon. Mullln holds the welterweight
boxing championship of the northwest and
Is well known -'throughout the Kootenay
having had battles In Nelson, on the Crow
and,1 In thc Boundary. Sporting circles at
the 'coast are taking considerable Interest
In his contest here as he Is scheduled to
meet Maurice Thompson, the idol of Vanoouver athletic circles, In January.
Fitzsimmons, who Is a nephew of the
redoubtnble "Bob," of championship fame,
hulls from New Zealand, and holds the
amateur middleweight championship of
Australia, and has a medal for tho amateur
championship of Cunadu, which he won at
Toronto. Fitzsimmons fs considerably
heavier than Mullln, tipping the scales at
about 176, while Mullin weighs 148 pounds,
but as Fltz Is an unknown quantity In
Nelson It Is hard to tell whether to his
extra weight he can add the admitted science of Mullln. ,

LEAD JJOUNTY
Ask for Extension for Another five Years
FREIGHT MILEAGE BASIS
IMPORTANT RESOLUTIONS PASSED
NELSON BOARD OF TRADE LAST
NIGHT FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATION BY ASSOCIATED BOARDS OF
TRADE.
At a meeting of the Nelson board of trade
last night, which was very well attended,
several Important resolutions were passed,
most of which were for further consideration by the associated boards meeting eftrly
next year. Among these resolutions dealing with an extension of tho lead bounty
and for a better system for dealing with
freight rates and classifications will, if
acted upon by the proper authorities, prove
of lasting udvantage to this ticctlon of the
country.
There were present F. A. Starkey, In
the chair, J. Johnstone, J, M. Lay, 1. G.
Nelson, T. G. Procter, A. W. Dyer, D.
C. McMorris, Vf, G, Gillett, R. S. Lennle,
L. ll, DeVeber, L. Pratt, 8. A. Kelly, F.
J. Deane, Blake Wilson, J. A. Irving, F.
M. Black, H. Glgot, J. Whittle., A. Lean,
G. Miller, J. E. Annable, J. j. Campbell,
H. G. Goodeve and H. Byes.
The Domnlon Express compuny replied
to a resolution asking for on extension of
the city delivery, saying that the mutter
would receive the attention of thc compuny.
The standing committee on telephones
reported progress.
The freight rates committee reported n<
follows:
Your commltte on freight rates convened
at the offce of the 20,000 club on Dec. 4,
president Starkey In the chair. The new
tariifs so far as published were discussed
and some comparisons as to new ratea
mnde by secretary E. K. Beeston. The
main question, as viewed by your committee was the lowering of incoming freight
rates to this point. At the present time
we are paying on certain commodities a
rate from eastern points of $1.20, as against
CO cents on thc same goods from the same
points to the coast. Thi* applies uiopo,-
tlonntcly on all commodities, and your committee considers that this Is a gross discrimination and Is not ln accordance with
the intention of the railway commission
that all freight handled from and to all
points he placed on  a mileage trials.
The question of water competition to
coast points was discussed but no reasonable argument for yuch u vast difference
In rates was advanced.
The following resolution was passed un-
antomusly: "Resolved that the secretary
(be Instructed to write on behalf of the
freight rates committee to the chairman of
the railway commission stating that they
had prepared statements showing the injustice which the Kootenay district suffered from the Inward bound freight rates
and that they learn that new tariffs had
been lsued. So far they have been unable
to obtain copies of all these new tariffs
nnd huve not been Informed how fur thn
new tariffs will affect them, .but have
every reason to believe they will not he
benefitted. When they have received copies
of the new tarlffH they will forward for
the consideration of the commission a
statement of their case."
Your commltte appreciates the fact that
outgoing rates are lowered to local point.,
but can see that no gain Is mnde In thi-
respect as the coast rates are lowered
to the same points and to such an extent
that the wholesale trade of Vancouver can
land goods at points tributary to Nelson
and which arc produced in the east, cheaper than from our own city.
As this is a matter which affects all of
the country tributary to Nelson I would
strongly recommend thut the mutter be
brought to the attention of tho associated
boards at their annual meeting which is
to be held In the near future.
*H, G. GOODEVE, Chairman
L. Pratt presented the following memorial to Hon. Wm. Templeman, which
has been signed by the principal lead mine
owners and for which he asked the endorsement of the briardl
We, the undersigned, who have been producers of lead ore since the Inception of
the lead bounty act, respectfully address
you, as representing the mining Industry of
the dominion, and request your favorable
consideration of the following memorial
and further, that you flavor us by brlngng
the same to the attention of the right honorable, the premier and your colleagues
of the  cabinet:
1. That said lead bounty hns. by Insuring a stable minimum price, been most
effective and beneficial to the lead mining
industry, with lt to the smelting and manufacturing industries nnd consequently to
the general commerce of the dominion.
2. That such results huve been produced
>y a relatively small expenditure, as was
anticipated, and as was represented when
the original request for consideration was
made w the government. Out of $2,000,000
originnlly voted to be expended In the
period of bounty terminating 30th June
new, but W«,976,03 have been expanded up
to 1st  He-ember, 1W7.
S. That on account of thc high tariff
on lead ores and Its products, still Imp-red
by the United States government (which
It was anticipated might have been reduced ere this) of the recent Imposition
by said government of a prohibitory duty
on our zinc ores, a produorof oar lead
bearing veins, thus deriving us of u
source of revenue and of the fact that the
lead consuming  capacity  of   Cnnada   has
not Increased proportionately to our output, since the Inception of thc bounty, we
Bhall at the expiration of said bounty
period, be still unable to rely on a stable
minimum prloe for our lead, sufficient to
Justify Its production In the form of ore
and the large expenditures on exploration
and development work necessary to maintain our mines and wtth them the entire
lead Industry of  otnodu.
That without such a stable minimum
price we cannot produce our ores, during
periods of low prices in the world's market,
which governs the market of Canada and
with such Intermittent production the Inducement to exp-nd the necessary large
Bums In exploration und development will
cease to exist consequently the present ore
reserves In our mines will be exhausted
and with them the lead mining Industry.
6. That with the United States tariff
and the consuming capacity of Canada as
at present, the necessary stable minimum
price can only be assured by a continuance of the present lead bounty or by an
extraordinary Increase In \hx? /xlstlng;
Canadian tariff on lead and its products.
The undersigned therefore respectfully
request that tho lead bounty uct be extended for a further period of five years
with an expenditure not to exceed $500,000
ln any one year.
T. G. Procter moved that a resolution,
carefully worded, be adopted, embodying
the  views   of the  memorial.
J. J, Cambepll second asking, however,
that sight should not be lost of the fuct
that a tariff on lead would be the more
logical way of treating the matter.
This passing, Messrs. T. G. Procter, J.
J. Campbell and L. Pratt drew up the following resolution which will be presented
at the associated boards.
Thut this board approves of the petition
which has been signed by all the principal
lead producers of thlB section, asking the
dominion government to extend the lend
bounty for another period of five years
ufter the expiration of the present term,
recognizing that the attitude of the government Is more favorable to this method «>f
relk'f than to the readjustment of he
tariff, which this board lias .always felt
nnd still maintains would he the most effective assistance to placing both tho
local lead mining and smelting Industries
upon u firm busts.
Tliat this board recognizes thnt with
the present condition of the markets there
Is dangff of a number of producers being
compelled to close down with a disastrous
effect upon thc commercial Interests of
this section of the counry mul that a copy
of this resolution be forwarded to W. A.
Galliher, M.P., wtth a request that It he
communicated to the proper authorities
and that he use his endeavors to obtain
the granting of the petition, nnd that a
copy of this resolution be sent to the
boards of trade belonging to the associated boards of limb: Witli a request tor
their co-operutlon nnd that our deUgati
bc instructed to endeavor to secure the
passage of u similar resolution at the annual convention of that body.
Moved by A. W. Dyer nnd seconded by
F. J. Deane: Resolved thut whereas there
can be no better moans of strengthening
the link, of empire than hy the freest possible dissemination of news of oil Its parts
throughout the whole, nnd, whereas,, during tho past year various boards of trade
und chambers of commerce have endorse,!
thc view and urged the creation of an imperial press service, wliich Is already receiving the at tent ton of thfl London press;
be It, therefore, resolved _hut the dominion government be urged to further help
In this matter hy placing the Canadian
Press Bureau In London on a more efficient footing, both from the literary and
from the flnanctnl standpoint..
This then passed und will be submitted
to the associated hoards.
Other such resolutions wero then passed,
the first being moved by F. J. Deane and
seconded by H. G. Goodeve; "That in the
opinion of thts board agricultural crown
lnnds along the railways and along suoh
sttreams where settlement will quickly follow, should lie surveyed as quickly as possible and maps and full particulars of the
surveyed lands be prepared for distribution, said lunds to be disposed of to bona
fide settlers not to speculators." This
was carried after a brief discussion, the
matter speaking for itself.
It was then moved by II. G. Goodeve
and seconded by W. H. Jones that "the
associated boards of tinde take steps to
prosecute before tho rnilway commission
of Canada, the case of the district for
lower freight rates, particularly those
from -points in eastern Cunadu, which nre
now so high that the cost of living and of
supplies for the prosecution of Industries
are unduly enhanced und the settlement
of the district nnd the development of its
resources ure materially retarded. Thnt
the associated boards puts lt.elf on record
as opposed to the principle of distributing
centres and distributing freight rates, but
maintain that freight rates bc made as
nearly ns possible on a mileage basis, the
snme from whatever points goods are shipped, leaving each town to profit from the
advantages of Its situation. That thc ft*-
soclutacd boards condemns us unfair and
unn«.onablc the present freight classification In the goods of approximately equal
cost, weight und dimensions, nre put in
different cIhssph nnd the arrangement Is
such us restricts very much the making
up of curloud lots und even of packing
goods of similar nature in the same cluss."
E. K. Beeston said that he had Just
learned that thc Incoming rates had been
lowered 26 cents a hundred on iXlWt cluss
and no on down the classification to 10
cents a hundred on fifth class.
The   resolution   then   carried.
A further resolution proposed by D. C.
McMorris and seconded hy J. Johnstone,
dealt with thc public ownership of telephones, along the lines of tho resolution
iidoptrd at the last meeting of the associated boards,
I. G. Nelson moved and A. W. Dyer
seconded. "Rrsntvcd that the provincial
government be asked to make suitable arrangements for an exhibit at the Alaska-
Yukon fair; to make an appropriation for
the same nnd to give proper representation to the Interior of British Columbia,
and thut the delegates at the present con
vention fc* asked to bring the matter bo-
fore their respective boards with a view
to making specific representations by resolution at the next convention; and that
this board strongly urge the advisability
of making a. special Kootienay exhibit by
the leading mines, smelters, lumber manufacturers, fruit growers and minor Industries of the districts contiguous to Nelson,"
James Johnstone moved and J. J. Campbell seconded "that the attention of the
provincial government be called to the urgent necessity of the appointment of additional fruit pest Inspectors, who shall
maintain a periodic Inspection of all growing orchards within the province, with a
view of urrestlng in their Inclpleney any
forms of Injurious fruit pests that may
from  time to time appear."
On motion the above resolution, adopted
nt thc last convention, was unanimously
reaffirmed.
There ensued a lengthy discussion on the
sale of venison and of trout and finally
Messrs. T. G. Procter and L. B. DeVeber
and R. S. Lennle drafted the following
resolution, which passed: "In the opinion
of this board some means should be employed for the preservation of trout, caribou and deer nnd that the salo thereof
should bc prohibited, and bc It further
resolved thnt the right to kill caribou or
deer should be limited to two animals to
any one person Instead of five us at present." This concluded the list of resolutions for the associated boards.
lt. 8. Lennle moved, and J. A. Irving
seconded, that the attention of the postmaster general be directed to thc fact that
the city of Nelson Is now enltled to a postal delivery und thut in the opinion of this
hoard such should be put In force without
delay. The motion being unanimously
adopted the meeting adjourned,

Calgary, Dec. 12—Ills lordship, Mr.' Justice   Harvey   gn,V0   judgment   In   the   case
of w. N. Tompkins of okotoks, vs the
Calgary Hotel company, which Is of more
than  passing  interest  to  the  public.
The plnlntirr In the month of March last

to (Stoblish that the guest was guilty of
negligence. Proof of negligence entirely

LAWRENCE GOWLAND TO  HANG TODAY  FOR ATROCIOUS MURDER.
MODKTKN   CRIME   IN   WHICH   YOUNG
GIRL  WAS VICTIM.
(Special to The Dally News.)
Morden, Man., Dee. 12.—Ear y tomorrow
morning Lawrence Gowlund will sutf'-r
the extreme penalty, hy hanging, for one
of the most brutal murders in the annals
of southern Manitoba. He Is a Barnado
boy and was employed on the farm of
John Brown, a few miles north of Klllnr-
nf.y. Brown nnd hb; sister, Miss Gcorglnn
Hrown, "ran" the farm together, Gowlund being employed thero us hired man.
Gradually Gowlund became Infatuated
wtth Miss llrown, unknown to anyone,
not even Mr. Brown suspecting, ns the
man kept his '.eve tn himself. It was on
May 23 last that thfl tragedy occurred,
while John Brown had gone Into town on
business. It appears that shortly alter
he left Gowlund entered the house and
apparently attempted tn seduce Miss
Brown for her clothes were praottcally
torn from her body. Whether or not he
succeeded before or after he had Inflicted
the knife wounds from which! she died
will never be known, but medical authorities claim he do riled the body whl'o the
poor girl's la. t breath wus leaving her
body. After committing the deed Gowland
attempted to take his own life, using the
snme rator with which ho hud Inflicted
the death wounds upon Miss Hrown.
However, he failed in his attempt and
when John Hrown returned from town he
found the dying bodies of his Sister and
hired mnn lying in pools ot blood. Miss
Brown died before me.ll.ul assistance
could reach her, but Gowlund was removed to the hospital and utter a bitter
struggle against death was victorious only
to suffer death by the hangman's noose,
for hts fiendish rrlme. The trial was held
in this town during the latter part of
October and the Jury, after helng out
eleven minutes, brought! In u verdlc of wilful murder and Judge Pfllppcn sentenced
htm to be bunged on Friday, December LT
—-truly u fatal combination of date and
day. A mun named King was aWo sentenced to bc hanged on the same dnte nt
Brandon for killing u foreigner In a railroad construction camp, but his sentence
has since been changed to one of imprisonment   for  life,
GOWLAND MUST HANG.

NtXUlO PROBLEM.
Englishman Snys Question is One Whole
World Must Face.
Philadelphia, Dec ll'—"The gravity of
the negro proWem Is not confined to the
United States, England faces It In her
colony. The whole world faces It. The
problem of the future of that race is one
of tho giratesi, und gravest confronting
civilisation." '.
Sir John Roger, governor of the English
Gold Coast colony, southwestern Africa.,
expressed these views last night in un address at the Berean  Presbyterian church.
"In Africa," he said, "Negroes outnumber thc whites in the proportion of ftv«
million to one thousand. How to educate
them is us grave a igucstlon there us it i<*
in America. The greut tfouble i3 to Induce them to work with hands In trade..
The hope of the negro race lies in manual
labor. I have little doubt thnt thc colored,
race in America will soon realize this, and;
will really take their places among th<-
othcr races here."

SAI-ARIEB OF MINISTERS
An .tutorial In the Vancouver Province,
now tlie recognized orgnn of tlie McDrlde
government, and the conservative party
In this province, fore-hnilowa a demand
for incren-ied salaries for tlie ministers nnd
tor Increased sessional Indemnities for tlio
members at the approaching session of
t!u- legislature. In the improved financial condition of the province we believe
*hero would be no serloua Objection raised
to increasing tlie salaries of the ministers.
If It wore possible to grant Increases to
those ministers who havo been faithful
In their attention to thoir duties um] who
can point to Improvements, from an administrative j>t Midpoint, In their depart-
went.., tin--!-. _ould bo no exception what-
100 B. C. Copper $4,50
200 Canadian Marconi $2.50
2000 Diamond Coal  bid
500 International Coal 87
10000 Telkwa Mines bid
ever taken thereto. It may fairly be said
that finance minister Tatlow has earned
an inch-asc and that provincial secretary
Young, although only a short time In office, hus also showed praiseworthy application. Of the other ministers It cannot bo
said that any of them haa done anything
to merit Increased pay. Premier McBrlde
Is now drawing ISWM per annum, probably
the limit of hie earning capacity In any
other field of Industry. Attorney general
Bowser only drawa $4SW, but then he still
retains his law business In Vancouver and
consequently does not give undivided attention to his official duties. Hon. P. J.
Fulton drawe a like amount   and is well
paid.
With regard to thc proposed Increase ln
sessional Indemnities, we must confess
that we can s.o no plausible excuse' for
thus increasing the burdens of the taxpayers. Members now draw 1800 per session and mileage and aa they aro rarely
detained In Victoria for a longer period
than two months, their legitimate expenses
aro fairly well provided for and that Is ail
thc sessional Indemnity ls supposed to do.

AN OPEN LETTER
To The Hotel Keepers of the Slocan License District.
Tho death of Charles Garrotty ln an
hotel at Silverton after a heavy drinking
bout, and whilst ho was still partially
drunk, has directed public attention to
the management of the saloon buslne.s
in this neighborhood. The license commissioners therefore deem It a good time to
-warn the saloon keepers that they intend
to enforce the laws governing the conduct
of hotels much more strictly than hitherto.
The laws are clear enough: You may not
supply liquor to a drunken man, and you
may not permit gambling.
Wo recognize the difficulty in which the
hotel keepers are placed and that one land*
lord who wishes to run a decent house can
do very little if the other hotelmon do not
support him, he looses dollars to which ho
Is oa much entitled as they are and does
practically   no   good.
We therefore desire to Inform you that
we shall hold all the hotel keepers In one
iptnce equally responsible and that tlie
presence of any men permanently drunk
or gambling In thc saloons will be considered a sufficient reason to suspend or
take away all the licenses In the neighborhood.
The public Is also informed that their
apathy haa contributed to the present
disgraceful state of affairs and wc Invite
all to take more Interest In the Important
work ot the license commissioners.
Tlie hotel keeper running a decent house
and supplying a public need will have nothing to fear from our action, our dcBlrc
Is to protect htm from a most unfair and
Illegal competition. By united action ln
any place tho hotel men can protect them-
selveh and remove the most serious reproaches against their trade.
This letter has been submitted to Mr,
Vf. F. Lawson, who has not endorsed It.
Mr. D. B. O'Nell being at the Bondholder
mine, has had no chance to endorse lt.

PROVINCIAL   SUBSIDIES
FINANCE       MINISTER      FIELDING'S
SPKECH ON SUBJECT.
REPLIES   TO    BORDEN'S    PLATFORM
STATEMENTS.
A day or two ago we published u falr'y
full report of finance minister Fielding's
upeeeh on tho address, but that report did
not give anything like adequate attention
to tin* tninl-ter'- p'marks on tlie subject
of provincial mibtildles and his reply to
the statements made by tory leader Borden as to British  Columbia's olalms.
Below will be found tliat portion of
Mr. Fielding'., speech, dealing with pro-
vin.iii 1 .wi.li. lull-.., us contained In tin*
Hansard n-port:
Hon. W. S. Fielding—My hon, friend
thc leader of the opposition (Mr. R. tT
Borden) has had something tn any on tint
question »r the provincial subsidies. Iu
Ills Speech Ut the IlU-sell theatre tho other
night liv said that I had had Hie audacity
to speak of his action In British Columbia
touching Hie subsidy to Hint province us
an attempt to bribe the province, I said
tliat, und I regret that I am obliged to
adhere to the opinion I expressed. There
ls no doubt lu tin- world that the attitude
of tim hon. gentleman on thnt question
was a most unfortunate, a most unhappy
"one, calculated to breed trouble amongst
the several provinces of Canada. Let us
glance at the history of these provincial
subsidies. Twenty years ago an agitation
began amongst the provinces for an Increase of their allowances. The men engaged in dominion affairs can easily imagine that It is not necessary to have a
greater provincial .revenue; but the men
who had been engaged In the provincial
legislatures—and then, are many of them
here—'know how restricted those legislatures have been In their operations because of the lack of finances. I do not
wish to discuss the merits of our system
of provincial subsidies, it is enough to
say lhat all the provinces of the dominion
complained that the share which they received from the public treasury was insufficient to enable them to carry on thel''
business and that they appealed to the
dominion government for a readjustment.
When the conservative government was In
power, they declned to listen to that appeal.    Years   rolled   on,   and,   even   after
the liberal party came into power, tliere
were difficulties in the way of meeting
the wishes expressed by the provinces.
But, after a time, this government said
to the provincial premiers: If you are
able to agree among yourselves as to the
distribution of this money, perhaps we
can meet your views. Now that was a
very reasonable proposition. This subsidy
question has been one of the most delicate
with which public men have had to deal
since the establishment of confederation.
I remember very well that when what Is
called "better terms" were granted In 1869,
to Nova Scotia, there was a very strong
feeling of hostility In Ontario. Ontario
was too big a province to feel tho small
amount which was given to Nova Scotia,
but it was strongly disposed to claim
that the granting of tho sum was a
breach of faith,—tliat these subsidies
were In the nature of a treaty and should
not be distributed except by common consent of the provinces. And, as years
went on, and some grant was given—ifor
good reasons—to one or other of the provinces, there was a feeling of Jealousy, or
rivalry; and no province has manifested
that so strongly as the province ot Ontario. Not that Ontario wou d care—as
I   have   said—about   the   small   sum   In
volved, for Ontario ls a great rich province, too big to think of that; but the
men ln Ontario took it as a matter of
principle, that these subsidies; were a
treaty between the various provinces and
should not be disturbed except by common consent. Bo When we came to d* ai
with this matter with the provincial governments, we .said: We do not want to
make difficulties, to cause dissatisfaction
and Jealousy aiid rivalry. But If your provincial governments wll come together
and reach something like a unanimous
agreement as to the distribution of tliis
money, we wtll lake the matter up and
see what we can do for you. And to that
end a provincial convention was held In
this city about a year ago. As a result
of that conference, a scale ot payments
was adopted for the several province-.
Now, I turn to the attitude of my hon.
friend the leader of the opposition in
British Columbia. He goes to Biltish
Columbia und tries to disturb the ur.ange-
ment made at that conference amongst
the provincial premiers of tlie dominion.
1 complain of the hon. gentleman In thi--,
not only that what he did was a disturbance in Itse f, but that he conveyed the
Impression to tihe people of British Columbia that this was a quarrel between tlie
British Columbia government and tlie liberal party. He tiled to lead the people
of British Columbia to believe that they
were being oppressed by the government
of my right hon. friend (sir Wilfrid
Laurier) and that when the lion, gentleman himself (Mr. R. L. Borden) und his
friend- came Into power, they would
grant relief from this thing that tho
liberals were doing. That is the chief
offence that I lay at his door. He knows
he was not fair, lie was not candid in so
speaking. Who composed'this convention'.'
Who agreed to this scheme of dlstiibu-
tion? Foremost among them was tlie
prime minister of the conservative province of Ontario. All the governments of
the dominion are not In harmony with
the dominion government ot today; uud
I suppose that lt is not at all likely that
all the provincial governments will be lu
harmony with the dominion government
at any time. We hud at this conference
In Ottawa, Mr. Whitney, the premier of
Ontario; Mr. Foy, attorney general; Mr.
Matheson, treasurer, We liad Mr. Roblln,
premier, nnd Mr. Colin Canipbe I, attorney general, representing the great conservative province of Munltoiw. We liad
also, representing the other provinces,
their premiers and ministers whose name-
are well known. Mr, MoBrlde was here
to represent British Columbia, and he 13
the head of u conservative government.
He came forward with a dt termination
that nothing you could do for him would
satisfy him. It is evident tliat he had not
come to get an arrangement for uiittsh
Columbia; he liad come there to find a
grievance. He did not want to agree to
anything that the conference would agree
upon. He suld: I want a royal commission to look Into the case of British
Columbia. Now there was no reason why
we should grant a. royal commission to
once province and not to another. This
was a matter, as I have .said, which had
been agitated lor twenty years. The
provinces needed the money. The lime
was rli«', not for commissions and further
Inquiry, but for action. If it was right
that Mr. McBrlde shou d be given a commission for British Columbia, why should
not Mr. Whitney say: I am nol satisfied
with this arrangement, and I want a royat
commission to investigate for Ontailo?
And so with the premier of Quebec, the
premier of Nova Scotia and the rest. To
grant a cominl.^lon meant a disturbance
of the arrangement. My right hon. friend
(sir Wilfrid Laurler)   suld yesterdu

no commission was better qualified to denl
with that question than were the men at
that conference, They were men who had
a general knowledge of affairs of the
dominion. They were not prompted by an
ungenerous spirit towards British Columbia. I can speak of that with the most
perfect certainty. I have said elsewhere,
and. I repeat now, that I went to som.
of the members of the conference before
It assembled, and asked them to consider
British Columbia's claims ns favorably
as possible, to strain a point in her favor,
and treat her generously. And I am glad
to say that they were disposed to do that,
and that a proposition was made to treat
British Columbia generously. I do not
want to pander to any particular section
of the dominion. Brlti-h Columbia Is a
big, rich province. Her people are not a
party of children, and I do not believe
they need a Baby Act for their protection.
TJipy came into confederation of their own
free will, and If they are asked to live up
to their bargain they have no right to
complain. But when the peculiar condition was known and the other provinces
were disposed to treat them generously
and liberally, the premier of iMtish Columbia should have responded and accepted the consideration with which he was
treated. He wanted a commission, and
the matter was considered. The conference considered It. Mr. Whitney considered It. Again I say, the leader of the
opposition 'has done his best to make the
people of British Columbia believe thnt
this was: a quarrel between sir Wilfrid
Laurler and the province of British Columbia. It was not. My right hon. friend
the prime minister took no part In thut
transaction that was not heartily supported by the lion. J. P. Whitney and all
the other conservatives present at that
conference. And that conference, not a
liberal conference, but made up in the
manner I have describe.), having heard
Mr. McBride's argument, having heard
what he could say, passed this resolution:
"That In the opinion of thc conference
it is inadvisable that a claim In the way
of subsidies of any province bc referred
to arbitration."
The position tho government took was
this.. ThlB Is a delicate question as between the provinces. We remembered
past differences, as to which I bave already called the attention of the house.

into a quarrel with you on this matter;
but If you can come to something like an
understanding—we wouid like it to be
unanimous—then we will take the responsibility of asking parliament to vote this
large amount of money. Wo found ln the
end that lion, gentleman who represented
British Columbia apparently was not satisfied with anything except tho appointment of a commission. Now I understand
that there Is no more right why that gen.
tioman should ask for a commission than
that the premier of Ontario should ask
for a commission. Thoy hnd equal right's.
They both came Into the union voluntarily; and therefore I say that the hon.
gentleman's idea that British Columbia
had a right to get a commission Is absolute'y without foundation. This question
had been dragging nlong for twenty years.
The provinces represented to us that they
needed the money, and there was almost
an unanimous agreement. When Mr. McBrlde demanded a eommlssion for British
Columbia, If we had granted him that
eommlssion we would have been oibllged
In fairness to grant It to any other province In  the dominion who asked for It.

WHEN TO GO HOME
From the Bhiffton, Ind., Banner: "When
tired out go home. When you want consolation, go home. When you want fun,
go home. When you want to show others
that you have reformed, go home and let
your family get acquainted with the fact.
When you want to ahow yourself at your
beet, go home and do the act thore. When
you feel like being extra liberal, go home
and practice on your wife said children
first. When you want to .shine with eat-
tra brilliancy, go home and light up the
whole household." To which we add,
when you have a bad cold go home and
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and a
quick cure is certain. Por sale by a'l druggists and dealers.

Are You Traveling
By Ox Team
ON THE
'ROAD TO MARKET?'
According to Franklin, the "road to market" was "plain"
even more than a century ago.
The years have brought a succession of improved methods of
travelling on this same old .toad, however; and now tto former
weary time and distance have been almost obliterated.     •
Just steam and electricity have shortened the distance between London and Lvierpool, Paris and Marseille, New Tork
and Chicago, so has Newspaper Publicity shortened the distance
between YOUR   MARKET and TOU.
You can still .travel from one city to another by ox-team,
and have a fair chance of reaching your destination SOMETIME. But you would not willingly choose the oxrteem for a
thousand-mile trip if a fast express train were available 1
So it is in travelling on this "road to market 1" Tou might
find your market SOMETIME by using the ox-cart sort of publicity;—the poster anld sign-board sort; but why not eliminate
time and distance and annoyance and disappointments by tak-
ig the fast express to TOUR MARKET—which is typified by,
modern, aggressive and adequate newspaper advertising.

of "Diamond Quality" is certainly
the essential factor in establishing the
confidence of the community. To
buy a Diamond and find it to be of
inferior quality when compared with
others is certainly a loss to the dealer
who sells it. Our patrons keenly
appreciate our discrimination and
thorough understanding of the diamond business, and are always sure
of "Quality" when placing their orders.
