Liberal Member Says He is
Going Down
RALPH SMITH GETS NASTY
IN SENATE DEPUTY MINISTER OF
RAILWAYS GIVES OPINION
THAT MOSTLY CARELESS PEOPLE ARE KILLED AT LEVEL
CROSSINGS.
(Western  AtmocIatGil Press.)
OTTAWA, March 10—The voting of
public works supplies tor Quebec and
Nova Scotia engaged the attention of
■the house for the greater portion of
the time up till 6 o'clock today, when'
the usual Wednesday adjournment waB
taken. A few questions were answered
and - /or about an hour there was a
■discussion on the question of co-operative societies. This was introduced
by P. D. Monk, whose bill dealing with
the subject was slaughtered by the
banking and commerce committee of
■the senate last session. Mr. Monk
severely criticized the members of the
upper house for their action.
Ralph Smith, of Nanaimo, had a good
word to say for Mr. Monk's bill. He
did not like the attitude assumed by
Mr. Lemieux. Last year Mr. Lemieux
had been very strongly In favor of the
bill. H looked as if he was on the
down grade.
In answer to a question by liaughton,
Lennox, Hon. George P. Graham announced that the engineers that are
drawing up the plans for .the Quebec
•bridge have decided upon a reconstruction of that viaduct at a height of 150
feet above high tide and with 600 feet
clear in the centre. The minister declared that J .S. Armstrong's proposal
for a submarine viaduct was "impracticable."
E. N. Lewis has given notice that he
will introduce a bill entitled The Daylight Savings act. The bill is based on
the measure now before the British
parliament, and which alms to have all
the clocks ln the country moved an
hour during tho summer months. There
la little probability of the bill getting
serious consideration as there is too
much private legislation already on the
order paper.
Lancaster's level crossing bill was
before the senate railway committee
again today and a lively sitting resulted. M. J. Butler, deputy minister
of railways, stated that while no attempt was made to classify crossing
accidents, a large percentage wns due
to the carelessness of the people themselves. The bill which the minister of
railways would introduce, while making provisions for aid to secure better
protection of crossings, leaves the
speed of trains to the judgment of the
railway commission. Mr. Big-gar, for
the Grand Trunk, stated that his company had 7000 grade crossings of which
2000 were In cities, towns and villages,
and Mr. Creelman, for the C. P. R.,
said that while his company was not
opposed to the principle of the bill, he
did not think It was the be^t way in
which to get over the difficulty. They
preferred that the question, should he
left to the railway commission. , Te
bill as it stood would put the business
of Canada back twenty years. For instance, If the bill were passed the
time for crossing the continent will
be Increased hy two or three days.
The following statement has been
given out on the authority of the department of mines. A few weeks ago
H. B. Radford received an order from
the deputy minister of mines, A. P.
Low, to collect natural history specimens ln Alberta and MacKenzle and
to forward the same to Ottawa. Radford received letters of introduction to
the Hudson's Bay company officials and
others. This order was given to Radford by the deputy minister under a
misapprehension and was yesterday
cancelled by a wire to Mr. Radford at
Edmonton. There are no funds at
present at the disposal of the department for this purpose and therefor ho
specimens will be paid for or accepted
from Radford.
The banking and commerce committee of the house of commons today
considered a bill respecting the Canada
Life Assurance company. Hon. Geo.
A. Cox and Mr. Bruce, solicitor for the
company were present. Leighton McCarthy, K. C, on behalf of the company explained the act of parliament
passed in 1879. It had been stated
that heretofore the company had distributed 75 per cent, of its profits, but
thiB was unfortunately a misstatement
of facts. The hearing adjourned till
Friday.
In the senate yesterday, debate on
senator Scott's motion for reform of
that body was resumed by senator G.
W. Ross, who, In a lengthy speech, expressed the conviction that there was
no general feeling in the country favoring abolition, neither had there been a
"■movement in favor of a change and he
thought the time had come when the
senate would propriety cease discussion of the question unless it came, in
the form of a definite proposal from
the government.
Replying to a question put by senator Lougheed, sir. Richard Cartwright
said he understood that the United
States senate in giving approval to the,
waterways treaty had added a rider at
the instance of senator Smith of Michigan.   The rider had been communi
cated to the Canadian commissioners.
As to whether it would be hereafter
binding on the United States, sir
Richard thought It would. It would
not, however, he binding upon the
Canadian government unless lt was approved after consideration.
The hill respecting the Kootenay
Central railway company was given its
third reading.
In the senate yesterday senator
Lougheed inquired as to a report that
the Grand Trunk Pacific had applied to
the government for a ten million dollar
loan. Sir Richard Cartwright replied
that the company had applied for a
considerable sum to enable it to carry
on its undertakings. In the house
Hon. W. S. Fielding informed R. L.
Borden that legislation in regard to the
Grand Trunk Pacific advance would be
brought down almost immediately.
PRISON GATESWILL OPEN
FREE   AFTER   SIX   YEARS'   PENAL
SERVITUDE.
CAREY   IS   PROVED   INNOCENT   BY
DYING  MAN.
■OTTAWA. March 10—The minister
of justice has been given a death-bed
confession signed by a man named
Baxter, who passed .away a few days
ago ln St. Michael's hospital. Toronto,
after pleading guilty to a crime for
which a man named Carey is in jail in
•England. Six years ago Carey, an ex-
soldier of the Royal Rifle Brigade of
England, was sentenced to fourteen
years' penal servitude in Manchester,
England, for a crime against the moral
laws of Britain. Carey, who originally hailed from Toronto, was unable
to clear himself, and while awaiting
sentence took a last desperate chance
of being sent back to Canada by confessing in his English prison that he
was lhe murderer of little Glory Whelan, whose awful death shocked Canada in 1903. The Toronto police, however, received a visit from a mysterious stranger, who showed that Carey
was not the murderer, and on this information the English authorities disregarded Carey's "confession" and sent
him back to prison on the first charge
for fourteen years. This was in 1903.
Rev. R. B. Gagnon reached the capital today to lay the case before Hon.
Mr. 'Aylesworth. Mr- Gagnon was iu
Toronto and called in to see Carey's
family about the Baxter confession,
and when'the clergyman came to the
aged mother of the prisoner with
proofs of her son's innocence, she
begged Father Gagnon to go \o> Ottawa
and Bee Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Acting
on the advice of his legal adviser,
Alexander W- Smith of this city, bow-
eve, the delegate decided to interview
the minister of justice so that proper
representations may be mae to the
British authorities for the release of
Carey.
MOUNTED POLICE REPORT.
Commissioner Perry's Interesting Remarks.
OTTAWA, March 10—The annual re
port of the Royal Northwest Mounted
Police was laid on the table of tlie
house yesterday by the premier. The
report of commissioner Perry gives the
strength on Oct. 31. 1908 as 51 officers
598 noncommissioned officers and con
stables and 523 horses. Commissioner
Perry states that the strength of the
force does not allow him to give the
full and satisfactory service which the
■public has heen accustomed to receive
for many years and now expects. The
fact that the arrangement with the
.provinces will end in two years rend
ers it impossible for him to ask for any
increase in the force and he only brings
the matter up in order that people may
appreciate that the power to serve has
not grown with the responsibilities.
During the year 7624 cases were enter
ed and 6377 convictions obtained, an in
crease of 6922. The increase is due to
the gain in population in both of the
provinces. The large number of men
leaving the force annually strikes at
its efficiency- The waste of time and
money in training men who do not
serve their full time is very great. Dur
ing the year 117 men left the force.
15 iby purchase, 17 by dismissal and 11
for inefficiency. The chief cause of
dismissals was drunkenness- The force
is composed of a fine body of men
highly trained, but too many good
men have purchased out and too many
"wasters" have found their way in and
have had to he culled out-
Assistant commissioner Wood In his
report pays some attention to the
charge made on the morality of the
Yukon. The assistant commissioner's
opinion is that if some of the people
who have talked so much were to in
quire into thelir own home city condi
tlons they would find more immorality
than there is in the Yukon.

Francis Joseph in the royal courts here
for six thousand francs ($1,200.) He
has deposited papers and documents

Life Saving Fenders.
VANCOUVER, March 10.—Realistic
experiments were made with the Byers
&' Watson car fenders by the street
railway company yesterday. Life-like
dummies were used and It waB proved
that loss of life could be avoided when
the; persons were caught ln a standing
or stooping position. In a prone position the Inventions were not so successful. There appears to be little to
'Choose between the respective merits
of Uie rival appliances.
RICH_STRIKE
Rich Forty foot Vein on
War Eagle
MOST IMPORTANT IN YEARS
SPLENDID SHOWING LATELY MADE
ON IRON MASK. IDAHO AND
CENTRE STAR MINES ARE
PLEASING TO RESIDENTS OF
GOLDEN  CITY.
ROSSLAND, March 10.—A forty-foot
vein of high grade ore has heen struck
In the ninth level of the War Eagle.
It Is rich in. gold with every indication
that the ore extends to the upper levels
and probably to the surface. Drifting
lias shown the vein to he forty feet
wide and 400 feet long containing
heavy sulphides with high gold values.
This same vein has been productive on
the tenth level and while no work has
been done on it in the upper levels it
is thought the ore will extend for several hundred feet above the ninth and
possibly to the surface. Assays show
that the ore runs from twenty to one
hundred dollars. It Is the most important strike made in the mine for
several years.
On the eleventh and twelfth levels
of the Centre Star, rich ore has been
encountered in some of the larger
slopes, and the Iron Mask mine, which
has been found to contain at least four
profitable ore shoots continues to develop in a very satisfactory manner.
There is a large tonnage of developed ore between the present Iron Mask
workings and the surface. Some of the
lower levels of the War Eagle are being extended to the Iron Mask property and within the past few days the
elgth level of the War Eagle encountered values in Iron Mask ground. Recent developments on the Idaho have
been most profitable. On the fourth
level a big stope which is now 150 feet
long by from 20 to 30 Teet wide, Is
producing a good tonnage of heavy
sulphide ore containing about ten dollars in gold besides good values in
copper and silver. This ore shoot Is
located on the south vein. On the main
vein stoping fs being continued and the
ore is extending westward, recent
values In the west drift having been
high.
During February the Centre Star
made profits of $30,000 over and above
everything and the management Is
much encouraged. Three furnaces are
running at Uie Consolidated company's
smelter at Trail, treating about 1,000
tons of copper ore per day, from which
are being produced six hundred tons of
copper matte per month, containing
$240,000 worth of gold. The lead furnace averages 200 tons of ore per day
from which lias been produced 100 tons
of bullion per day, which Is the record
for Trail and is probably the best record on the continent. The lead refinery at Trail is producing 2000 tons
of pig lead per month and is shipping
close to 250.000 ounces of refined silver
to China each month.

T. J. Williams, englne:T, who gave evidence on Tuesday night was the llrst witness called. He stated thut after having
made a further examination he could see
no signs of the engine having been short
of wuter ut the time of the explosion. He
considered that the crown plate had
broken away at the back end. Asked by
S. S. Taylor appearing for Gnglner P. J.
McCormaok, the Brotherhood of Riiljway
Carmen and the relatives of the deceased,
If he had any opinion as lo the reason for
thla, he replied thut tho bolls were larger
ut the fur end. He had noticed discoloration due to guses in one place. In reply-
to a, question from lt. S. Lennie, for tbe
railway, witness said that the bolls were
stronger at the far en> because of the extra strength required by the fine sheets.
He had not noticed n tear in the metal
ut the far end. On the suggestion of Mr,
Ijennle witness here went hack Into the
engine to make a further inspection.
G-. C. McKay, said that he hud had considerable experience in engineering work
and was now employed by Alex Carrie.
witness described the appearance of lhe
holler and said that In his opinion there
were no Indications of overheating. The
dlscoloratfons were due lo gases arising
from the wuter which hud fallen on the

said thut the dlscolurutions might have
been made hy it blow lamp after- the engine hud been taken to the round hoiists.
lie did nut mean lo suggest tbat this had
heen done. In his opinion it was the only
possible cause of tlie discoloration other
than from gases arising us be had before
described.
At this point Mr. Taylor asked that the
discolored purls of the boiler .should he
tested with a llle with a view to '(hiding
out if lhe lire showed right through or
only on the surface of the metal.
'Mr. Williams was re-examined and Stated that ho had applied a die while further
Inspecting the boiler and had found that
the metal under the surface was perfectly
bright.
William Pllts said that he had no
change to report in his opinions given to
"the jury the previous evening.
Mr. McKay on returning from tiling the
discolored portions of the metal staled
that it was clear and bright below the surface. Cross-examined by Mr. Lennie witness said thnt lie hod about six months
experience in the tungine worka of tlie
North Eastern Railway company in England.
E. K. Austin again gave evidence and
stated that from an examination made he
found the hurst crown plate looked the
sumo us would any other piece of steel
that had been heated. He would be willing to demonstrate to the Jury that steel
if tiled after heating would be bright una
clean,
Joseph Ashcroft and Alex Dow also gave
evidence as to the state of the boiler and

ZINC \± FREE
Heavy Duty is Removed by
United States
BIGGEST THING IN YEARS
SUPREME COURT OF REPUBLIC
CUTS OFF THE TWENTY PER
CENT. AND KOOTENAY ZINC
PROPERTIES WILL HUM WITH
ACTIVITY FROM NOW.
Advices received fiom New York an
nounce that, by a decision of the sit
preine court of the United States the
duty is taken of zinc ore Imported Into
that country- This is ihe biggest thins
that haa happened for the benefit oi
the Kootenay mines for many years,
not excepting the lead bounty, anil the
result of it will be the immediate re
sumption of shipping of zinc ore from
the mines which have quantities of it
stored, activity In thft mining of the
ore and rapid development of the nn
merous zinc 'properties in this coun
try, particularly in the Slocan, wliere
the zinc deposits are large and impor
tant.
For about four years the duty ou
this ore, which has been asserted to hi
illegal, has been in dispute before the
courts of the United States Finally,
the supreme court "has given its decls
ion and the government of the states
has stated that It will rest content un
der the Importation of zinc ore free of
duty. Not only this but the decision
of the supreme court carries with it
an order that all duty collected on zinc
ore since the case came before the
courts and while It has been pending,
shall be refunded to the mines that
have paid it The duty was 20 per
cent, one fifth of the total value of the
ore, and was collected on all the con
tents, which Included a percentage of
silver and lead On the lead there is a
duty properly collectible of one and a
"half cents a pound but except for this
comparatively trifling amount, the
whole of the collected duty must be
returned to the companies that have
paid it This means a large sum of
practically found money for the While
water, Ruth. Lucky Jim and other pro
perties which nave been large shippers
of zinc to the United States,
Mining men expect that the Lucky
Jim, which has lately been shut down
will immediately reopen and other
mines which are sure to resume active
ly in the Immediate future are the Blue
Bell. Bosun and Jackscn The Last
Chance has a quantity of zinc ore stor
ed. which Louis Pratt says will be
shipped at once, while the mining of
zinc will he actively pushed as soon us
the mine opens up again in the spring.
In the Slocan especially, tlie melting
of the snow will see tremendous aotlv
tty in the development of a large mint
ber of zinc properties that have not yet
been put on a shipping basis or on a
basis enabling them to ship extensively
in fact the decision of the United
States supreme court, together with
the other factors that are operating,
will give such an impetus to> mining as
the Kootenay has never before seen.
Several Kootenay mlneowners have re
cetved advices from their agents and
smelter customers in» the stales com
men ting on th decision of the court,
among them Mr. Retallack of the
Whitewater, who was written by his
New York agents, and James Anderson
of the Ruth mine, who was notified by
the Empire Zinc company of Gas. Tex.
.Louis Pratt, was seen by a Daily
News reporter and asked how the re
moval of the duty would affect the fn
tare of the zinc reduction plant here,
Mr Pratt said that It would not affect
it at all. The fact that the zinc could
be shipped from any point in the Sin
can to Nelson for $1.50 a ton. while
the freight, charge to the Unletd Stages
smelters from the Kootenay was $10

FRUITGROWER PLEASED
HANDLING CROP GOOD.
CONSIDER     ARRANGEMENTS     FOR
MR.   BEESTON   REPORTS   ON   MARKETS  ON   PRAIRIES.
A meeting of the directors of the
(Kootenay Fruit Growers' association
'was held yesterday. Tlie meeting opened at 10 a. m. and did not conclude
until 11 p. in. All the directors were
present. Reports from E. K. I-eeston,
and J, J. Campbell were presented and
fully considered. The former dealt
with the question of markets, marketing conditions, transportation and other
matters connected therewith, while the
latter related to the arrangements made
made at the meeting lately held at Victoria between representatives of the
provincial government, the C. P. H„ the
Dominion Express company and the
fruitgrowers.
The results of the meeting as affecting this district have already heen
published In The Dally News and the
directors yesterday expressed themselves as being satisfied that the negotiations carried out by Mr. Campbell
would be to the best Interests of the
fruit growers. The action of the C. P.
R. and tbe express company In furnishing a barge free of cost was also much
appreciated and the opinion was expressed that by these means the fruit
could this year be shipped to Nelson
and thenee to the east in good market
condition. It was reported to the meeting also that the Yale-Kootenay Ice
and Fuel company had kindly offered
to place at the disposal of the Kootenay Fruit Growers' association a large
part or their warehouse for cooling
purposes, Whioh Is adjacent to the track
near the lake shores at Nelson. This
will enable (he fruit (o be properly inspected and handled on arrival so that
it may go forward in proper condition.
The generosity or the ice company in
giving the use of their warehouse and
the office adjoining free of charge was
highly appreciated by the directors.
Before closing with any of the
several offers received from the wholesale houses al Winnipeg and other
points the directors desired further information upon minor points which
arose, and it was decided to obtain this
Information and to discuss it at the
next meeting of the board of directors
which will be held on March 19. At
this meeting complete plans for the
season's operations will, it is expected,
be consummated and afterwards laid
before a general meeting of the association arranged for Friday, March 26.
The various tenders for supplies
which were received by the board were
also fully considered and for similar
reasons were left to be finally dealt
with at the next directors' meeting.
The directors at tho meeting yesterday expressed themselves as being con-
dent that with the co-operation of the
growers satisfactory results can ba obtained this coming season. The reports
submitted by Mr, Beeston were of a
most complete and satisfactory nature
and gave the board a splendid idea of
the conditions with which tbey have to
deal In making arrangements for the
disposal of the fruit. The tone of the
meeting was most optimistic and it
was felt thai the more difficult, part of
the work had been completed.

Steel at Bedrock.
BUFFALO, March 10—E. A. S. Clark,
president of the Lackawanna Steel Co.,
who came up from Now York today to
attend the annual meeting of that corporation, thinks steel prices arc all at
the bottom. "Tbe cut fn prices has
brought out some additional orders but
not any great amount. In my opinion
the situation will remain about as it is
for a few months, probably until It is
known what will be done. In the way of
tariff legislation. As soon ns the tariff
Is settled I look for better business.
, "Prices are now as they will go, I
think. ( We now have the lowest price
for steel we ever had, all things considered. A reduction in tariff will not
bring lower prices. It will, however,
keep them where they are for a time
and that of course moans low wages,
that Is the way it works out."

CHICAGO. March 10—The Standard

shipments of oil from Whiting. Ind., to
East. St. Louis, III. Tho verdict was re
turned by a jury In the federal court
on Instructions from G. A. Anderson,
who averred thnt he followed the cir
cult court of appeals 'decision, on
which a verdict was returned ot lhe
former trial of the same case, on which
verdict judge Kenshaw Mountain Lan
rifs assessed a Eine of $29.-240.000- Judge
Anderson's decision was not unexpect
ed as he had yesterday told the govern
ment prosecutors that the proof relied
on In the first trial was not complete
and that it must be complete*! or fail.
It was with something of an air of
hopelessness flhajt district) ait/toirney
Sims and his assistants attempted to
show the admissibility of the Illinois
classification to prove the existence
of a legal rate of 18 cents which was a
vital point Jn the government's con

attorney, EC. Wilkerson. had argued for
two hours and at the end admitted
that the prosecution could not. furnish
the further proof deemed necessary by
the court for a continuation of the case.
that, judge Anderson decided on an
nounclng his decision.
Mr. Wilkerson said that the govern
ment could proceed no further and
suggested dismissing the ctue Attorney
John S- Miller, chief counsel In the
case for the Standard Oil company, im

tructed verdict of not guilty- The

been excluded during the arguments by
the attorneys was called In and eharg
ed. The decision of judges Grossciip.
Baker and Seaman of the United
States circuit court of appeals revers
Ing judge Landis. together with the ac
tion of the United States supreme court,
in refusing to review the decision of
the court of appeals, was assigned ns
authority for today's decision.
Judge Anderson quoted from flie opirr
Ion of the appellate court judges. Thee
strongest expression in favor of his
views, he said, was the statement in
that decision that, "the most that w;*
can say is that the question Is one on
which the judges, after full discussion,
might very reasonably disagree." Con
tinning he said: "The defendant is
charged here by Indictment This is a
criminal offence The defendant, is
presumed to be innocent unt.il proven
to be guilty beyond all reasonable
doubt and before this jury would ba'
justified in rendering a verdict on a
single count, of these counts, it would
have to be satisfied beyond all rcascm
able doubt to such a degree of cer
tainty as to overcome- this, presumption
of innocence which surrounds the de
fondant. It would have to be satisf ed
beyond all reasonable doubt, that there
was definitely a fixed 18 cent rate.
The court of appeals has said upon this
same evidence, after having considered
it in ail its relations, that they cannot
say that, these two papers, the railway
tarif sheet No. 24- and the Illinois
classification, really fixed any 18 rant
rate."
Judge Anderson then ordered the
jury under the authority of the decls
ion of the superior court, to which he
also was obedient to return a verdict
of acquittal, Th-o verdict of innocence
wns formally signed by the foreman of
the jury, entered in the records and
the famous case was finally ended.

If you want to get all the comforts of the city ln your country home; or
In the logging or mining camp. Think ot always having all you want of hot

solid comfort of having a warm upper story, at no additional expense.
YOU DON'T REALIZE
What the Western heater really Is, Just simply this; the principle of the
tubular boiler applied to your stove pipe. The tubular holler Is the best

COL.     GORDON     THINKS     BRITISH
COLUMBIA  THE  PLACE.
WRITES   SERIES   OF   LETTERS   ON
THE  SUBJECT.
The following is tlie fit's! of* u series
of letters written by Col. S. D. Gordon,
late of the 18th Duke of Connaught's
Lancers, who has recently returned to
the old country after a visit to British
Columbia, and Is so enthusiastic In
his praise of this province that he has
prepared a series of letters on his trip,
which are being published ln the Canadian Gazette of London, England.
Having recently returned from a
visit to Hrltlsh Columbia, during which
1 saw many of tlie most attractive
places of that very attractive province,
and, further, enjoyed very special fa-
clltles for gaining general Information
and1 seeing for myself the conditions
of life out there, I venture to   think
that a short account of my Impressions
and experiences may bo Interesting,
and possibly useful, to any one thinking of settling out there.
I made a particular point of Inquiring into the various ways In which
English people of limited means—such
as retired army and navy oflicers or
retired Anglo-Indian officials of all
kinds—settling out there could find
suitable residences, occupations and
amusements, with or without reasonable prospects of adding something to
their incomes by a certain amount of
work or trouble; and it Is chiefly from
that point of view that I speak. I may
also say that my Impressions are based
on what I saw for myself, or what I
gathered from actual settlers whom I
met, and that I have done my best to
make allowance for exaggerated or
optimistic views, such as people
pleased with their own surroundings
sometimes express.
First, as regards the journey out.
It is simple, easy, full or novelty and
interest, and,, considering the distance
covered, not unreasonably expensive.
A first-class ticket from Liverpool to
Montreal, costs about £18 by "Empress" steamer in winter season, and
ii Pullman car ticket, with sleeping accommodations from Montreal to Vancouver costs another £ 18 18s. !)d.
Food on the** train costs about $2.60
(10s. > n day, and with various sundries
and tips the total should not exceed
£45. Those who would be content to
travel second saloon by steamer and
tourist car, with sleeper by train, could
reduce the cost to £35, and would endure no serious hardships.
I flrst visited Vancouver Island, including Victoria and Us extensive
suburbs, Saanlch, Duncans, Cowichan
Hay, Quainichan. Nanaimo, Courtenay,
Comox, Campbell River .Albernl and
Little Quallcum. Leaving the Island, I
remained a short time at Vancouver,
and then went on to see the famous
fruit growing districts In the Okanagan and Kootenay valleys, staying for
various perlodB at Vernon, Coldstream,
Kelowna, Pentlcton, Okanagan Falls
and Nelson. At all these places I made
very careful inquiries into all that concerns the fruit growing and other industries, and t believe I may fairly lay
claim to having gained a fair general
impression of all that concerns a settler's life in this far-away portion of
our empire,
For those who wish to lead pleasant,
easy lives it is a splendid climate and
lovely scenery, with a certain amount
of congenial society and no serious
work or worries, such places as Duncans (on Vancouver Island), Nelson,
Vernon and Kelowna offer a very large
choice, from which few could fail to
find what they want. These are ail
practically English colonies. Clubs and
tennis courts already exist or are In
course of formation; all English games
and amusements are kept up; Bport
of all kinds is good and easily obtained; the scenery is magnificent and
the climate almost Ideal; yachting, rowing and bathing can be had everywhere in their seasons, and all at a
very moderate cost; and at the same
time many of the residents are already
making large profits from their orchards, and many more confidently expect to do so as soon as their fruit
trees commence bearing. At all these
places there are retired officers and
Anglo-Indians already settled; and
they are all enthusiastic about the life
they lead out there. Naturally they
are all very anxious for more of their
own class to settle around them, and
any such who go may be sure of a
very  warm welcome and all  possible

Nelson and Duncans are the two
largest of these colonies ami, perhaps
for this reason, offer the most attractions. At Nelson there Is a charming
English club, or perhaps I should say
n charming club run on English lines.
There Is always a lot going on there
In a social way; people are friendly
and genial. Sport of the very best,
both fishing and shooting, is to be hud
all round about; excellent yachting
mid bathing in the lake. The climate
is almost perfect, and no better fruit
can be'grown in the province.   -
Almost the same words could be
used ln describing Duncans. I don't
think there is yet a club there, hut
there surely will he soon. There are
some  excellent  public    grass    tennis
courts, where the people fron? the surrounding ranches meet weekly, or
more often, and there . are frequent
dances. At Duncans both salt" nnd
fresh water sport and amusements are
to be had, for Cowichan Bay, which is
close at hand, is really a long arm of
the sen; and there are several lakes
round about, on which sport and
yachting can be had. The fishing,
both salmon and trout, round here Is
splendid. Splendid fruit, too, Is grown.
Victoria Is about forty miles off, and
It Is easily possible to go In for a few
hours' shopping and return the same
evening. The chief difference between
Nelson and Duncans Is thnt, whereas
the former is a large town, Duncans
consists of numerous ranches located
all round a small village; but both are
essentially English colonies. The
scenery around Duncans Is simply glorious and cannot he beaten. Kelowna
(where there Is n small club) and Vernon are miniature Nelsons, surrounded
by many thriving fruit gardens, the
Coldstream Ranch, near Vernon, being,
I believe, the biggest and one of the
most successful In the province. v
For those, again, who nre willing and
able to work seriously to add to their
incomes In any one ot the various ways
which the province offers, all these
same places are equally available, and
in addition the extensive districts
which surround each of them within a
radius of ten or twelve miles—as well
as outlying districts, which have only
reoently commenced to develop, such
as Pentlcton and Okanagan Falls,.   1

have not visited Peachland and Summerland, hut I believe they are small
hut prosperous and thriving colonies,
and that they are mostly devoted to
peach growing.
In close proximity to both Nelson
and Duncans, though not actually Included in them, there are numerous
large holdings, admirably suited for
new settlers, where land Is available
at moderate rates; congenial neighbors
live scattered all around, and the various attractions I have already enumerated are available. Mr. J. J. Campbell of Dtmtulm, near Nelson has considerable areas of splendid land at
Bonnington and on the Slocan and
Lardo rivers, as well as some near or
adjoining his own residence at Dun-
tulm; and I know he would offer specially favorable terms to any settlers
of the right sort, for the double purpose of selling some of his laud and
obtaining congenial neighbors.
The same can tie said of Mr. James
Johnstone, the president of the Hrltlsh
Columbia Fruit Growing Association,
who lives quite close to Nelson. He
has some excellent land for sale on
the lake shores, near Bosworth, where
Lord Grey, the governor general, has
recently purchased iand from him, and
also in various other localities close
around. He, too, Is most anxious to
Obtain this class of settler, and would
certainly offer them very favorable
terms. In fact, there Is no lack of
charming and desirable sites, both residential and commercial, at any of the
places I have mentioned, and everywhere a keen desire to attract this
special class of settler.
Pentlcton and Okanagan Falls are
rather farther from the railway
(though I understand that Is likely to
he remedied soon), and only ln their
infancy, so to speak, so they cannot,
of course, offer the social attractions
of the older and larger settlements;
but, on the other hand, I am inclined
to think that they can claim some even
greater natural advantages, which go
far to equalize matters. Their climate
is perhaps rather warmer and' more
equable; their crops ripen rather
earlier—a great commercial advantage; land is just at present rather
cheaper, though unsurpassed, I believe,
for fruit growing, and the scenery and
sport are at least aB good as any to

he found elsewhere. They need not,
therefore, fear any lack of purchasers
when settlers come to look about.
I have "omitted all mention of Victoria and Vancouver, as they come
under an altogether different category.
They are the two, the only two, cities
of British Columbia. Vancouver Is the
largest and more busy. Victoria Is the
capital, and rather residential than
commercial. Both are supremely
beautiful In their situation and surroundings, but living there is comparatively expensive, and for this reason
perhaps they might not attract the
class of settler whom I am now considering. For those, however, who can
afford to live there, and for whom city
life and society have special attractions, I feel sure that both these places
offer advantages in the way of scenery,
climate, sport and amusements that
should sutisfy the most exacting.
Speaking generally, it is necessary
in British Columbia to purchase land
and build a habitation, as renting is
almost impossible except in the larger
towns and cities, nnd even in such it
may not be easy to find what is required at any reasonable rate; but
land for residential purposes abounds
everywhere and at not unreasonable
prices, while a house to suit individual
tastes can he very quickly erected. For
purely residential purposes two, or at
most three, acres should suffice, and
as to price, so much depends on the
site selected, Its locality, surroundings,
etc., that it Is difficult to speak definitely. Lake or sea frontages-
cleared, and where necessary irrigated
—and within reasonable reach of social
centers, can usually be had for $300 to
$400 per acre; but uncleared land, not
fronting on lake or sea, and not quite
close to a town, can be had as cheap
as $10 or $15 per acre. It must, however, be noted thnt clearing land of
timber is generally a very expensive
item, especially perhaps on Vancouver
Island, where the timber Is so heavy,
and it Is generally advisable for many
reasons to buy cleared or at least partially cleared land. 1 should say $300
per acre fs a fair average price to give
for really good residential sites on lake
or sen front. The cost of building a
house depends so entirely on the style
of house required that I can give no
estimate. A humble built quite habitable "shack" of three or four rooms
can he built for $200 to $300, and quite
a good double storeyed house for $1-
500 to $2,000. For fruit growing purposes the prices of land vary considerably, for much the same reasons,
and In some districts it is considerably
cheaper than in others, though possibly equally good for the purpose. Of
this I will speak in my next article.
CAP AND BELLS.
By Caspar Johnson.

Petrol's experience with women had
been Unified. Had it been otherwise
he would never have been beating up
the coast in the teeth of a rising gate
with night coming on and his sailing
master casting an anxious eye. now
aloft at the straining rigging, now to
the eastern horizon where the dun grey
cloudbank grew hourly more ominous.
The big whltfl yacht made heavy
weather of it under her four reefs. She
stuck her nose into every sea and sent
Uie water flying over her windward
rail in a manner that drenched every
man on her deck.
"Better put into Indian bay." the sail
ing master suggested-
Ferrol standing by the after rail,
grunted something that the sailing mas
ter took for acquiescence, for he gave
a terse order to the man at the wheel.
The yacht came about with a rattle
and banging Ihat shook her from stem
to stern „nd went careening shoreward.
Ferrol watched the ragged blue black
outline of the shore grow rapldiy more
pronounced as they neared It Presently
they were threading their way through
the score of rocky little islands behind
which lay the quieter water of Indian
bay. Although the wind waa screaming
through the rigging and the great seas
that rushed past them were flecked
with an angry white foam, he was
loath to run for shelter. This combina
tion of wild water and wilder wind just
suited his mood.
As far as he was concerned personally he was willing to take his chances
of riding it out or sinking; ft mattered
but little to him.
Still he had no right to sacrifice
the sailing master and the men because
a woman had made a fool of him. Ho
draw out a fresh cigar and lighted it
from the stump of the one he had just
consumed-
She had made a fool of him. There
was no doubt of that. She had led him
on and on—him, John Barrows Ferrol.
the conservative, the man who had al
ways vaunted that he was immune from
the wiles of woman and then she had
tossed him aside calmly like any toy
that had lost its novelty.
He chewed his moustache nervously
and swore under his breath. What sort
of a spell had she cast over him. Ho
ought to hate her; yet in his inmost
heart he knew that "even now he loved
her with all the intensity of his nature!.
The little islands slipped past, one by
one. The yacht ceased her wild plunging and entered the quiet water of the
bay sedately. A few sharp orders from
the sailing master and the sails came
ratling down and the anchor dropped
iwlth a clatter of cable.
Before them the shore was dotted
with twinkling lights that shone cheer
fully through the murky gloom of the
gray twilight- The rain was beginning
to fall In long slanting lines. Ferrol
stood still by the rail smoking and ab
sorbed fn his own bitter thoughts.
He would send her a message- He
would not let her know how deeply he
was hurt, but he would let her know
that he understood now the whole im
port of their little affair. He turned to
the sailing master, who was going lie-
low; "Order the gig lowered Mr. Mfl-
Graw; 3'm going ashore."
During the pull shoreward Ferrol
was turning over in bis mind the mes
sage he would send and from somewhere in the archieves of his memory
came a quotation from Sir Launclot fit
ting his needs to- a nicety. It set him
smiling angrily as he sat In the stem
sheets of the gig the tiller ropes in
either hand.
He landed at the little pier and made
his way through the mud to the near
est hotel-    At the telegraph desk he
filled out a blank:
Miss Annette V. Morley. Hotel Jackson
Wanona Beach.
For a cap aud bells our lives we pay,
Bubbles we buy with  a whole soul's
tasking.
Then he went back to tlie yacht and
smoked a while, pacing the wet deck
and finally went below. He tumbled on
to a wide leather seat and went over
it all again—their walks, their drives,
their little quarrels, tho happiness that
had been his until that last, bitter nighi
—until at last soothed by the monoto
nous drip-drip of the rain be fell Into
a doze.
He was awakened by a hail from
the darkness outside. The tight was
burning dimly. The brass chronometer
above the chart locker showed that it.
was nearly midnight- He hurried to
the deck an found a launch chafing
alongside- "This the Alfrlda?" cried a
voice in the launch.
"Yes; what Is lt?"
"Mr- Ferrol aboard?"
"I am Mr. Ferrol"
"Telegram for yon. sir." said a man
scrambling aboard and handing him a
yellow envelope addressed Mr. J. B-
Ferrol. Yacht Alfrfa. Indian bay."
Ferrol tore it open and read; "Better
read the next line."
That was all save the heading "Ho
tel Jackson, Wanona Beach"
He stood there for a moment frown
ing in  puzzled fashion-    Then like a
flash the text of that next line came
to him:
•"Tis heaven alone that is given away,"
"Any answer, sir?" asked the waiting
man. i ■ i  11
Ferrol seemed suddenly aware o-f the
waiting man, ','Bh?   No.    Hold  on  a

to it, and have it repaired or renewed.
As soon as your gloves wear into holes,
you get others.
The mere dead covering to your body,
which you can put on and take off, you
attend to promptly; but what about your
skin itself? Your skin surely calls for
more attention than the dead fabrics which
cover part of it. You don't give it as much
attention, yet you expect it to wear better !
See the unwisdom of this ?
Winter is just passing. Its cold has split rocks,
scarred mountain passes, and iron posts. Yet the
delicate fabric of your skin, with its minute pores and
blood vessels, its "irrigation system," its "breathing
holes," has had to weather it .is best it could! You
have passed from zero cold to hot rooms; and from
hot rooms to freezing air'   All tells on the skin.
Can you wonder thai you find it blotchy, and with
rea spots and dark patches here and there ? Are you
surprised that you have sores, rawness, and chafed
places ? Perhaps some old sore has again broken
out on some part of your body—or some eczema
patch is again irritating and paining you. Probably
some hidden sore, the result of blood-poisoning, while
all unseen and unknown to your friends, is causing
you torture day after day!
Let Zam-Buk give you relief. It ifl made from tbe
healing herbal balms and juices which Nature herself
has provided. Zam-Buk is Nature's emollient;
Nature's healing and soothing balm. Not only does
it possess a natural affinity for the skin, but the skin
has an affinity for Zam-Buk. Most of the common
salves and embrocations never get beneath the hard
cuticle. They are too coarse to be absorbed.
Zam-Buk, on the contrary, is readily absorbed; and
wherever the skin is injured by accident or eaten by
disease, Zam-Buk promotes the growth of new,
healthy tissue.
In a sentence, the secret of a clear, smooth, healthy
skin, both on face and body, is—keep Zam-Buk handy,
and use it daily.
MOTHER   GRATEFUL   FOR   CHILD'S   CURE.
Mrs, GEORGE BoormaN, of 000, Selkirk Ave., Winnipeg, says:—"Pimples
and sores broke out all over my little girl's face ami hands. It was impossible
to keep her from rubbing or picking at llie^e sores, and this naturally set up
much pain and inflammation. First one ointment and then another was used,
but tliere was no noticeable improvement. A neighbour advised me to try
Zam-Buk, and leave off all other remedies. I did as she advised, and a few
applications of Zam-Buk soothed ihe pain and allayed the inflammation,
Gradually every scab and pimple disappeared, and lhe sores were soon healed
completely, leaving llie child's face smooth and while."

READ What Some Prominent Men Are Saying About VANCOUVER
EVERYBODY 18 BUYING
VANCOUVER  REAL ESTATE
This City Attracting Inquiries From
All Parts of the World—Volume
of Trade Is Large
Probably there never was a period
1_ Vancouver's history more favorable for wisely selected •investment.
Vancouver, by many, is considered
tiie biggest figure on the continent
today. Its possibilities are being
recognized by shrewd men of wealth
in many ways—railroad companies
are buying -property, elevators are
-contemplated and the shipping is increasing at a surprising rate. There
are many practically undeveloped resources yet to be opened up.
There is scarcely a topic of larger
general Interest In the country than
Vancouver, and It is as much in the
public mind today as the goldflelds
of Nevada were a few years ago.
But coming back to local things,
the best indication lies in the fact
that building operations continue and
architects are almost overwhelmed
with work. The law of supply and
niand Is unbroken for no sooner Ib a
new building planned than dickering
for ItB occupancy at once begins.
This perhaps explains itself in the
fact that not only are new firms
coming ln, but old ones are expanding.
Present realty prices are based on
a healthful demand, and are not at
all of a frothy nature. To some lt
might occur that a boom is on, but
nothing   is   further from the fact.
Values are legitimate, and are the
inevitable enhancement which comes
with time to all cities that have natural backing. The rise In values being conservative and gradual, there
is no danger of reaction.—Vancouver
Province, March 6, 3909.
VANCOUVER   GOOD
FOR   INVESTMENT
Spokane Man   Declares  It  the  Best
City  He Knows of for a Buyer
of Real Estate,
Before Howell W. Peel, a leading
merchant and property owner of
Spokane, Wash., left for home last
week, utter spending several months
•in Vancouver, he paid this city a
high compliment. Mr. Peel in Spokane Is considered a most sagacious
business man and by his shrewdness
has amassed a fortune in real estate,
ranch and business property. Said
Mr. Peel: Vancouver real estate offers the best opportunity to make
money of any city I know. Were I
not so heavily interested in Spokane
I would locate in Vancouver. During
the past five years many fortunes
were made In Spokane real estate. I
can recognize the same opportunities and indications here.
"Of course there always Is the
choice property    in   nny city with
backing, but really I do not believe
there is a piece of land in the entire
city that is not worth more money
right now than is being asked."—
Vancouver Province, Peb, 6, 1907.
FUTURE OF  VANCOUVER.
What  Chairman  Mabee   Says of  it-
Will   Have  Half Million  Poupla-
tlon in Twenty Years.
In an Interview given a Daily
News representative on Friday evening Hon. J. P. Mabee. chairman of
the railway commission, spoke most
enthusiastically of the great development the British Columbia coast
will witness from now on. In this
connection he mentioned that while
he was in Vancouver, R. Marpole, executive ngent of the C. P. II, in British Columbia, showed the plans of
the sites of three elevators to be
erected there.     It was  particularly
In connection with the shipping of
grain, cattle and other products of
the prairie provinces through Pacific
ports that Mr. Mabee spoke and he
expressed the opinion that when the
Panama canal was completed these
products from as far east as Reglna
would find their way to the world's
markets through Vancouver and
Prince Rupert.
After stating his belief that Vancouver will have a population of half
a million in twenty-five years from
now Mr. Mabee remarked that the
throe prairie provinces could nnd
would provide all the business that
the shipping ports of both the east
and the west could handle and there
was no need for fear or jealousy on
the part of eastern cities.—Daily-
News, March 7, 1909.

EDUCATING THE   EAST.
As time goes on It becomes more and
more .apparent that the people of Brit
isli Columbia made no mistake In send
ing five opposition members to Ottawa.
Already they have done much to bring
hefore the people of the east the true
situation In this province In regard to
tlie orlntal question. Previous to the
elections, the government found it con
venient to try to make it appear that
the feeling on this question in British
Columbia was merely the result of the
work of political agitators, and in this
were assisted by the course pursued
by the "solid seven" who represented
the province  in the  last  parliament.
The new house-has heen in session but
n short time but already the effect of
Uie manner in which Messrs. Goodeve.
Burrell, Cowan. Barnard nnd Taylor
have placed British Columbia's case
before parliament, and also before the
public outside the walls of parliament
is becoming apparent- The newspapers
of tlie easl, for example, are at hist ha
ginning to look at tbe matter seriously
and in doing so realize for the first
time that It is no mere political agita
tion that is influencing the people of
tbis province In this matter, hut that
the oriental suestion Is one involving
the supremacy of the white race west
of the Rocky mountains. The Toronto
Star, the junior liberal organ lor Obi
tarlpi Is one of the papers that Bee3
new light In regard to the matter. It
says*.
"There are nearly 40.000 orientals iu
British Columbia, over 17.000 of these
being Chinese, nearly lti-000 Japanese
and the balance Hindus. As the tot:tl
population of the province Is only a
little over 200.000. this means that
nearly .a fifth of the whole are of tho
yellow lace,
"It Is not surprising that the whites
of the Pacific province view the situa
tion with alarm- Thai situation Is seri
ous enough to demand attention not
only on the Pacific coast but In all
Canada. When we have constantly hi
tore our eyes the object lesson present
ed by the southern states as to what a
race problem (really fts we shall be
blind, indeed, If we permit the yellow
menace in the west to become as grave
as the black menace In 'the south is
now"
Th remarks of the Star will be gen
erally endorsed by the people of Brit
ish Columbia.
MESSRS.   PRESTON   AND   JACKSON.
The dominion government continues
to look after the Interests of Messrs.
VV. T. R- Preston and J. R. Jackson.
Mr. Preston, popularly known iu On
lario as "Hug-the-Machlne" Preston-
was for years an active heeler of the
liberal party In that province, while
Mr- Jackson achieved notoriety by his
attempt to induce men to perjure them
selves In order to unseal Mr, Donald
Sutherland, as member of the leglsla
ture for South Oxford.
When Mr. Preston's record destroyed
his political usefulness he was ap
pointed dominion immigration agent
for the old country at a \aXfte salary.
One scandal after another characierlz
ed his work there. He, for example,
was responsible for the North Atlantic
Trading company and the Leopold
transactions. As a result of the disclos
tires In parliament the government
found It advlable to remove Mr. Pres
ton from the Immigration service but
they gave him a berth as trade com
mlssloner In the orient. Now he Is to
be transferred to Holland as trade com
mlssloner and Mr. Jackson who was
made trade agent at Leeds, England,
as a recompense for his work In con
nection with the South Oxford protest
proceedings, Is to succeed him at
Shanghai-
This Is the way in which the govern
ment at Ottawa encourages decency
and honesty in the publi&"*erv;cs.
THERE   SHOULD   BE   NO   STOP.
Dispatches tell of an American im
migration officer at Niagara Palls hav
ing turned back a Woodstock. Ontario
stenographer on her way to Buffalo to
resume her work In an office where
she had formerly been employed. This
is but one instance of tbe many an
noyances thai are caused by the inter
ference of American immigration of
fleers at the boundary.
The United States, like every other
nation, has the absolute right to say
who shall or shall not enler the coun
try, but where so many mistakes are
made Is in the selection of men to act
as Immigration officers, who are gener
ally appointed to these positions as a
reward for ward service to their jwliti
cal party. In many cases along the
Canadian boundary the American imml
grailon officers are men whose chief
anxiety is to show their authority and
to  cause  Inconvenience.
In the case in question lhe young
lady had already been employed on the
American side. She could not be said
to be going to seek employment nor yet
to be entering the country under con
tract. It was merely a case of gross
officiousness.
If this thing keeps up there is'only
one thing lor Canada to do and that is
to play the Americans at their own
game and institute a strict w,atch-
along the border for people coming
into this country to seek employment
or under contract to work. If tha
Americans do not want Canadians in
their country, it is all the better for
Canada, for this country needs all her
sons and daughters to assist in her up
building, but if "this is to be the atti
lude of the United States, the domln
ion government should see to It that
the opportunities offering at home are
reserved for Canadians.

MILLIONS OF CELLS.
Tlie human body Is composed of
countless millions of cells. These cells
are constantly dying and new ones are
bt Ing created. Demi cells are removed
from the blond by the bowels, kidneys
and skin. These great eliminating
organs filler this waste matter from
the blood, ami thus purify the blood. .
If there is Oonstlpntlon, or non-action of ihe bowels—if lb Sidneys are
strained or weakened—IE there is defective skin action—-then the dead cells
are not removed trom lhe body. The
blood thus becomes loaded with imfutrl-
ties, and we suffer for It.
The only way to purify the blood is
to cure ibe skin, bowels aiid kidneys.
When these organs are healthy and doing their work as nature intended them
to do it, waste matter is promptly removed and the blood is kept pure and
rich. "l''ruit*a-tlves"—the famous fruit

IDLE  LIVES.

the decision was rendered.
Lord Guthrie's Criticism in Stirling
Divorce.
EDINBURGH. March 10—The seusa
tlonal Stirling dlvorc,, suits, were o\i
elded today by lord Guthrie, who grant
ed the husband's petition, awarded him
tlie custody of his child and denied
the cross petition of Mrs. Stirling.
.John Alexaner Stirling, laird of Kip
pendare, was married to C ara Taylor
an American show girl who came from
New Jersey, three years ago- bast fall
cross suits for divorce were filed. Mr.
Stirling naming lord Northland aud
M. Stirling naming Mrs- Atherton as
corespondents. In giving judgment
lord Guthrie said the case had no, legal
interest and thai it should not. have
public interest, Most of the evidence
has been taken up with petty qnea
lions of selfish and idle lives, which
contained little dr nothing romantic
and little that was even mock heroic.
Mr. Stirling, he said, in meeting Mrs-
Atherton had welcomed an Introduc
tion he should have shunned- Con
tinning, lord Guthrie discredited the
idea of a plot to get rid of Mrs. Stir
ling iby forcing Ivor to a guilty affec
tion for lord Northland bill, he thought
that her letters to lord Northland were
indicative of guilty relations, Lord
Northland's attorney and Mrs- Stir
ling's attorney formally gave notice of
appeal. Both  lord Nothland and Mrs-
Spanish King Can Ride.
MADRID. March 10—King Alfonso's
skilful hoi'smanshlp has just saved him
from the misfortune of killing a child.
As he was visiting at Ceuta a little
girl approached him to present a petl
tlou on behalf of her imprisoned ialh
er. She fell beneath the feet of the
king's horse. The onlookers shouted
in terror hut lhe king spurred his horse
to Jump aud the animal cleared the

IS HOT AFTER JEFFBIfcS
JACK JOHNSON ASKS MEETING TO
ARRANGE  FIGHT.
NEW   YORK   LAWYER   GIVES   LETTER TO  EX-CHAMPION.
NEW YORK. March 10.—James .).
Jeffries today received an invitation
from Jack Johnson to meet him ln the
office of an attorney in this city to arrange a fight The Invitation wus
handed to Jeffries as he appeared In
a magistrate's court In answer to a
charge of spurring three exhibition
rounds with his partner in a theatrical performance.
The note read as follows: "My client, Jack Johnson, the world's heavyweight champion, desires me to announce to you that he Is willing to
meet you and arrange for a contest
between  the champion  and  yourself."
Jeffries would not comment on the
note.
The charge which was made hy the
police was dismissed, Jeffries' attorney
contending that the sparring was part
of the theatrical sketch.
The summonses on which James .1,
Jeffries ami James Solly, manager of
the theatre where Jeffries Is appearing, appeared In the police court to
explain why Jeffries Indulges In a spurring act on the stage of the theatre,
were served yesterday. The complaint
was that. Jeffries' sparring bout was a
violation of the law covering such exhibitions.
When James J. Jeffries^ last evening
was shown an Associated" Press interview with Jack Johnson Jn which the
negro champion declared himself ready
and willing to meet "Jeffries or any
man in the world" the big fellow only
grinned. The Victoria despatch was
read to Jeffries, paragraph after paragraph with the loud*pedal on that part
of it which had particular reference
to him, hut after each pause the big
Callforn.au rubbed his chin and muttered "nothing to say." When that
part In which Johnson declared that
talk of Jeffries still being the champion tired him, was read to Jeffries, he
leaned against tho door of his dressing
room ami laughed. The parallel drawn
between an ex-mayor and an ex-
champlon and the negro fighter elicited
a chuckle from Jeffries, but when ashed to dilate on the point, he refused,
reiterating his stereotyped "nothing to
sny." The possibility of a match being
arranged between Johnson and Ketchell, mentioned in an interview, roused Jeffries out of his mutism, however.
.He had the passage read to him twice
and then remarked With a grunt "Why,
Ketchell is II littlo bit of a fellow."
"You don't consider ft likely, then,"
Jeffries was asked, "that Johnson and
Ketchell will ever be matched?"
"I don't know." he replied, "and I
don't care. I have refused to say anything concerning that party, and I ain't
going to say anything except when I
get good and ready."
"Uy that party, you mean Johnson?"
"I do."
It was then explained to the retired
champion that his persistence in_al-.
lowing his attitude in the matter of a
match with Johnson to remain a mystery
would encourage the negro champion
to Issue pronouncements und challenges at every place. To this Jeffries
laconically remarked:  "Let him."
The news of a parade being held in
Galveston in honor of Johnson almost
drew an impulsive reply from Jeffries.
He checked himself, however, and the
grin became a sneer.

mer. Acting on his Information ac
tlons were taken against the Damas
cits Jewelry company, Montreal, for
$15,000 and against 'Nargit Lafone of
Montreal for $10-000. Candor gave evl
deuce showing that he had been em

leglng this was through carelessness,
ordered ihat the value of the horse,
$150. should be made good by the
"boys," who caused the accident. He
was out of bis territory, contrary to
regulations, thus causing a collision.
The "boys," after one day's idleness
decided last lo go back to work trust
Ing that the company would not en
force its claim for the value of the
horse. This conclusion was reached
after a protracted meeting. Had Ihey
remained out 1500 men would have
been out of work for coal coul not bo

move It. The Spring Hill mines are
running full time and all hands are

BRITISH AND IMPERIAL
LONDON, Mar. 10.—Premier Asquith
fc|'(.'inking at a free trade meeting in
■the Queen's hall with reference to tiie
allegation ihat a profit was being derived
from abroad by the exportation of capital lo the amount uf three billion dollars
to the empire and to foreign countries,
said that Great Britain had gained the
thing she needed most, a cheat), abundant
and world wide Supply of food, which
forms the life blood of our working population and materials which form the life
blood of outr Irade. Regarding the capital gone and for what It was going, he referred to Canada, which In 1908 took forty
millions, quoting the Toronto Globe to the
effect that lor money for rallfays, power,
light, public aim municipal Services, Canada must apply to London, the world's
financial centre, He contended Ihat owing
to the free trade system Hrltlsh capital
had not only exploited British Industry ut
homo hut it built ui) the empire abroad.
■More than two thirds of the total was Invested in countries from which Ureat
Britain's only imports were food or raw
material.
Continuing premier Asquith asked what
the proposed talrlff was actually going to
he, (laughter and cheers). They found
that In the new tariff, subject no doubt
to certain exceptions, moderate duties
were to be laid on Imports from foreign
countries and lower duties on corresponding imports from tho colonies. Thai was
substantially the new departure from the
original scheme, as in fact, tbey had always mlBUnderatOOd. He thought it was
explicitly stated hy Mr. Chamberlain,
that under his proposals colonial produce
wns to be admitted free. Jie suld Ihat
these proposals had been - already repudiated In tbe house of commmoiis by
the only confederate who so far had had
tlie courage to lay aside bis mask. Here,

from a assault tbat could nut ibe repelled

TEA
Is Most Carefully Selected
Of all the countries In the world, Ceylon and India have proved
the best adapted for producing good tea. So Indian and Ceylon teas
are exclusively used for Blue Ribbon.
And as hill-grown leaf Is superior to the coarse, rank growth of the
lowlands, only ''hill" tea is allowed ln Blue Ribbon.
Of the hill plantations, a certain number of estates are especially
noted for the unusual and uniform excellence of their product
From these celebrated hill estates, the very choicest of the crop Is
selected and reserved for blending Blue Ribbon Tea. So it Is unusually
delicious and fragrant, wtth none of tbe woodlness or bitterness that
spoils so many teas.
Just get a pound of Blue Ribbon Tea and see for yourself
how good it is.

equal to his constructive genius;  neither

'"Monte Cristo" is mi example of hoth.
*t is a play so very familiar with its

Klondike Outlook Rosy.
VANCOUVER, March 10.—Tho outlook for mining In the Klondike during the coming summer is very bright.
The transformation of the past few
years, when the primitive methods nf
early days have been giving away to
modern methods involving an enormous
outlay of initial expenditure, is now
about over. This season will witness
the first real test of the fifty mile ditch
of the company controlled by the Guggenhelms to provide an ample water
supply.   As this ditch traverses a good
deal of uncertain ground the water will
not be turned on full volume for the
first, year; In other words the ditch
will have to "find itself." In addition,
tho same people will operate at least
seven dredges and two elevators, a
new method of the cheap hauling of
ground. This was lhe roseate opinion
expressed about this season's operations In the Klondike by H. S. Tobln.
a Dawson barrister, who is the legal
adviser in the Yukon territory for the
Guggenhelms.
