Hon. Clifford Sifton
Speaks to People of Canada \
Denounces Reciprocity Agreement-Ablest Public Man in Liberal Parts'Breaks
With Government-Greatest Western Liberal Declares That While He
Has a Voice in Public Affairs He Will Raise It Against a
Policy Detrimental to Canada's Business Interests
OTTAWA, Feb. 28—Seldom have the
commons chamber and galleries been
better filled, the former by members
and the latter by the publlo, than today
wiien Hon. Clifford Sifton delivered his,
criticism on the reciprocity agreement
proposals framed by his old time colleagues of the cabinet.
When he rose to speak, there was
no applause because Liberals anticipated that he would criticize the agreement, but he got plenty of It before he
sat down, one and one-half hours later,
fully 90 per cent of it coming from the
opposition benches. The member for
Brandon regretted the necessity of difference from a leader he followed for
so many years. He was quite as emphatic in his opposition to the agreement, however, as have been the leaders of the opposition and while he added many new arguments he also adopted some of the arguments which came
from the other side of the house,
these Included the expression of the
belief that the pact might lead to commercial union and to annexation. He
was quite as suspicious as Mr. Borden
or Mr. Foster of American advances and
argued that we should continue to
maintain a protective policy against the
I'nlted States and likewise against
Great Britain to a point necessary to
protect Canadian Industries. In regard
to the farmers he argued that free natural products would do them more harm
than good.
Hon. Sidney Fisher, minuter of agriculture, replied In a four-hour speech
replete with figures designed also to
show that the member for Brandon did
not understand the application of the
agreement to the farming industries.
He caused laughter by remarking that
Mr. Sifton talked farming like a lawyer.
Bad for British Columbia.
Mr. Fisher dealt with practically
every argument advanced by his former colleague and said that in practically every argument Mr. Sifton had used
he was wrong. He argued that the
agreement would be a fine thing tor the
farming interests with the exception of
the British Columbia fruit growers
who might suffer for a time and would
provide a market tor the future which
would be Invaluable to Canada.

thorough and complete inquiry of the been in favor of reciprocity.
Mr. Sifton'i Speech
Mr Sifton, member for Brandon,
rose. He said he had found this to be
the most important question which had
come ibefore the house since he was
first elected. He would frankly say
that the result of his investigation had
been to lead blm to the conclusion that
he could not follow the leader of the
party with which he had been identified all his life. ThiB difference waa
to him of an exceedingly painful character. With members of the government he had always been on the closest
terms both politically and socially and
away back in tbe county of Brandon a
great many men.who had been his supporters for 23 years would find great
difficulty in understanding why he
found it necessary to vote against his
party. They would understand, however from these circumstances that his
convictions upon tbe subject were extremely strong.
Twenty years ago, said Mr. Sifton,
the Liberal party had as Ub policy unrestricted reciprocity. He had taken an
active part in that campaign and to the
best of his ability he endeavored to
.convince the electors that it was a
wise and prudent policy, but before
the campaign was over he had succeeded In convincing himself that the Liberals were wrong. From that time on
bis views bad undergone a gradual but
steady and certain change. When the
tariff was proposed In 1897 .he was satisfied that it was poBslbly the best policy Canada could adopt. He affirmed
that bis opinion on this subject was
not spasmodic or suddenly formed but.
was mature conviction which came to
him after 20 years of close contact with
the affairs of Canada. Men In Canada
did not leave their political party for
small reasons, but he said when one's
party is led to apply principles which
are of fundamental and far reaching
importance, affecting the whole national construction, and one feels that he
cannot conscientiously adopt or follow
these principles, then his party allegiance Is necessarily dissolved and if. he
desires to retain his own self respect.
It becomes absolutely necessary for
blm to decline to follow that of which
he does, not approve. "That Is the
position In which I find myself today
and however painful the process may
be, I take the only course which I can
take and retain my self-respect."
No Details Given
He considered there was a little fault.

Otherwise it was impossible to know

"There could be no doubt that the

years ago and in the platform of 1903

perts were employed for the benefit not'ernment attempted to get some meas-

no comparative statement of prices and
the whole related to markets nnd

prices of the principal commodities In

Neither had they any Information with
regard to the production of various
commodities by these countries. Generally this had been done and generally
some member of the government hna
pieced before them the case of the government or the proposMs thai had been
made. Mr. Fielding, he Bald, never
spoke except with ability and cleverness but in introducing these resolutions neither he nor the minister of
customs had undertaken to argue tha
merits of the proposals in detail. If
the house desired to know just what he
meant by this criticism, then look at
the speech which Mr. Fielding had delivered on the Grand Trunk Pacific
resolutions, or at one of the speeches
which Mr. PaterBon had delivered in
the budget debates. They would see
there the kind of cas3 which th: ministers could make when they desired
to do It and had the material. "I
■would conclude," he said, "that either
our friends of the go 'ernment have not
made the Investigation and do not possess facts, or else those facts do not
hear out the contentions which they
put forward.
Have Not Been In Favor
"I desire to say," he continued, "that
I dissent altogether from the proposition that everybody in Canada has been
vested in the house of commons and
In the government in connection with
the transaction of new business, business which was not discussed when
they were before the electors. They
might do a great many things that
were not discussed when they were
before the electors, but they might not
constitutionally or properly do everything and he ventured to say that when
the fiscal policy of a country had been
thoroughly canvassed and settled, discussed, debated and approved in the
years 1900, 1904 and 1908, there was no
constitutional warrant for members of
the government reversing that policy
radically without any consultation and
practically without the knowledge of
the people.
"There is," said Mr. Sifton, "a discretion vested In the government but
It must be remembered that the discretion exercisable by those who occupy important positions under our
form of government is not an arbitrary
personal discretion, it is a constitutional discretion which must be exercised
in accordance with the principles of
the constitution and the constitutional
rights of the people they represent. I
do not believe that in the recent history of Canada anything has happened
which has given the thinking people
of Canada so painful and bo sudden a
shock as the sudden realization that
four or five gentlemen who by reason
of their ability, their years of service
and their high position in their party,

the basis of the transaction. This famous mine, which haB heen Bteadlly developed for over two years under the
McMartin regime, la being converted into- a company proposition, the company
being the Mother Lode Sheep Creek
Mining company, incorporated last week
under the laws of the state of Maine,
and which will be duly registered to do
buafness in British Columbia. The capital stock is fixed at $1,250,000, and the
company will in effect be a close corporation, John McMartin, of New York,
and Cornwall, Ont., having the principal interest. None of the stock will
be offered in thia province. Mr. Mc-
Martin is now transferring the Mother
Lode group of mineral claims, with mm
site, improvements, and water lfcense,
to the company. The headquarters of
the Mother Lode Sheep Creek Mining
company will he Nelson, and E. C.

Recent History of Property.
The Mother Lode mir- *b one o_ the
four present big properties of Sheep
creek, and its brief history has helped
materially in building up the solid reputation of this camp. Some small development was done on the property
before it was bonded by H. M. Billings,
Thomas Bennett, and their associates,
to J. L. Warner and F. M. Black, in
1908. for $100,000. In the fall of that
year Messrs. Warner and Black re-
bonded the property to John McMartin,
tbe two bonds amounting to $175,
both having since been paid off. The
principal vein of the property was discovered under the McMartin regime,
and William Watson, consulting engineer and also holder of a minor interest
in the property, has developed this by
four drifts, by which, It Ib claimed, $1,
000,000 worth of free milling gold ore Is
now blocked out. There has also been
some development on the smaller veinB,
and the past season the wagon road
was carried on to the mill site. Mr.
Watson spent the past fall In designing
the mill, extensive tests of the ore having been made in San Francisco, and it
is understood that construction work
will start very shortly.
Much of the ore on the dump is
shipping ore, and the lowest tunnel on
the main vein, a'cross-cut, gives a depth
of some hundreds of feet. From the
Nugget mine on the summit, to the
Queen mine, tn the bed of the creek, a
series of gold veins have been shown to
exist, none of which have yet been bottomed.
The object of the present move Is apparently to facilitate the development
of the property. In the direction of
adequate development, the future of
the Mother Lode seems now to be
assured.

VACCINATION NOT
COMPULSORY
Bill to E/empt Those Hdving Conscientious Objections—South Vancouver Annexation Question.
It waa a hard fight and a close fln-
iBh. Mr. MatthewB won a well-deserved
victory hut if he had rested even one
day during the period he would have
lost.
Perhaps a contest involving as many
votes as were cast for the candidates
in The News contest during the first
period should he expected to show a
wide difference between the contenders
after three weeks of work. The count
of the votes showed no such difference,
however. There are six candidates
with but a very few dollars separating
them from the others, and all of the
candidates who may be classed as real
contenders for The grand prize could
have won out for the first period watch
with a little more effort.
The counting of the votes was conducted by the manager of The News in
person, assisted hy the business office
accountant. At first it was thought that
Miss Fox, the aggressive Rossland candidate, was second, but a re-check on
the heavy Saturday business, while it
changed the total number of votes but
slightly, gave her fifth place, aad revealed  Miss  Watts second.
Miss Belle Goodwin, candidate of the
Knights of Pythias, is third, while Miss
McVicar has fourth place.
O'f far greater value than the period
prize, however, are the hundreds of
thousands of first period votes secured
by the wide-awake candidates. They
all wanted to win Ihe watch, of course
but they were working primarily for
the first period votes—and they got
them—a veritable avalanche of them
and the consequence is that "It's anybody's race" for the $2500 grand prize.
Mr. Matthews made bis fight all during the first period without any assistance from tbe organization he announced for at the beginning of the contest.
If he had lost the period prize it would
have been due to the indifference of the
members of the society which expects to pet $500 If Mr. Matthews WlttB^

Thousand  Dollars—Landed  at
Prince Rupert
VANCOUVER, B.C., Feb. 28—When
mail clerks went to the steamer Princess Beatrice for mail from the north
when the steamer arrived here at 2
o'clock this morning, they were thunderstruck to find that the registered
mail had been systematically gone
through and everything of value taken.
It ia Impossible to obtain exact details
as the police and postoffice officials
are saying but little but it Is thought
the robbers made a haul amounting to
138,000 as the mail included money
and many packages of gold dust and
nuggets. The police believe Ibe robbery took place while the steamer was
on the run from Skagway to Prince
Rupert and that the robbers landed at
the latter port. On tbe passenger list
were 20 men who landed at Prince Rupert. Officials of the steamer were
greatly surprised when iold of the theft

premier made his statement very grace'
fully' and fenced It with many reasonable arguments, and it was received
with applause from the house, but silence from the galleries.
Mr. Watson rose after the premier
to speak to a question of privilege and
to deny a statement that appeared in the
World to the effect that all members of
Vancouver with the exception of the
Hon. Mr. Bowser were in favor of the
annexation. He denied it emphatically
and declared that the decision of the
government would he approved hy the
vast majority of the people of Vancouver.
This statement was received with
hisses from the galleries and when Mr.
Watson resuming said that if he wus
not in accord with the policy of the
government lie would resign, he was
greeted with derisive applause. The
Speaker ended the disturbance by
threatening to clear the galleries.
Mr. TiBdall also rose to explain tbat
his position had been misrepresented
hut on an objection by Mr. Hawthornthwaite he was ruled out of order and
sat down.
In the proceedings of the day the
order sheet was cleared rapidly und It
looks as if the house would prorogue
tomorrow. Among the hills that received third reading in the morning and
afternoon sittings were those to ratify
the False creek agreement, to amend
the Land act and the Health act, tii
amend the Municipal Clauses act and
the Companies act, to amend the Health
act and a bill respecting trust companies.
One of the most important amendments of the day was one proposed by
Hon. Dr. Young to the Health act to
tbe effect that vaccination should not
be compulsory on any one who would
swear that they had concentious objections to it.
CANADIENS DEFEAT WANDERERS
MONTREAL, Feb. 28—In what wns
regarded the finest hockey struggle of
the season, the French Canadians defeated the Wanderers by three goals
to two tonight in Hie arena. It was indeed a great victory for the Canadiens
and the defeat of the Wanderers In no
way reflected upon their merits.
Throughout the hard fought game the
ex-champions fought with dash and
desperation. They maintained a perfect
combination nearly all through tbe
game hut failed to penetrate the defence more than twice. The Canadien
-'ietory was In a very large measure
due to the splendid work of Verlna in
goal. ifc(f,
it is worthy of comment that the subscriptions from the miners are coming
in all the time. Every week registers
more of them than did the previous
week.
The splendid fight being made by
Miss McVicar compels tiie admiration
of everybody, including the competing
candidates. If Miss McVicar could give
her entire lime to the contest—well, the
hopes of her opponents are higher than
they would be if she were not occupied
with the work of her position. The fact
thnt slip has an effective and extensive
organization of her friends covering tha
contest territory makes Miss McVicar
a real contender for the grand prize.
The News is proud of the talented
lady who is representing Golden in the*
contest. She is making a wonderful
race and the Conservative club of Golden will do everything possible to capture the grand prize for their patron.
The subscription list of. The News is
growing by leaps and bounds everywhere, but from no point are (lie names
coming in faster than they havo from
Golden the past week. Lookout for surprises in the Golden country.
Wattsburg Is about the liveliest point
on the map these days. And Miss
Watts Is about as active as any candidate in the contest. Also Miss Watts'
friends seem to be scattered al! the
way from Dawson lo the Argentine Republic. Miss Watts can get more subscriptions from more different places
than anybody in the contest.
Miss Goodwin is fortunate in having
the best perfected regiment of workers of any of the candidates. The
Knights of Pythias bave shown their
appreciation of the compliment pnid
them by Miss Goodwin—and this appreciation has taken a practical form. Tho
lodge members are making a systematic aud consistent canvas of the whole
territory in behalf of their candidate
and tbey are making good. Miss Goodwin and the Knights make a dangerous
combination.

Amendment  to   Municipal  Clauses  Act
Removes Necessity for Petitions
From  Ratepayers.
(Special to The Dally .News.)
VICTORIA, B. C, Feb. 2&—As net results of two long sessions yesterday the
legislature accomplished a good deal of
business in which the affairs of Victoria and Vancouver figured largely.
Early in the day Premier .McBride requested that the house would permit
the passing through three stages during the days of tbe bill he introduced to
enable the city of Victoria to hold a
special election for mayor and aldermen. The bill, however, did not reach
final stage as it was found that a number of amendments bad tn be introduced
hut it passed the committee of the
whole and will come up tor third reading tomorrow. Its scope has been extended to include the validation of
school trustees.
Among other measures advanced was
the Kootenay power and light bill which
passed its second reading and the second reading of the. bill to validate the
False creek agreement.
In moving the    bill    that contained
some minor amendments to the Companies act that measure was warmly defended by Mr. Bowser. He stated that
the act as it stood protected home industries and had netted to the province
last year about $i:!0,000 from licenses
taken out by outside companies. This
amendment simplified registration and
advertising a little but in the main he
refused to make any change in the act.
Mr. Brewster moved the adjournment
of the debate on this measure.
On a', bill to amend the Municipal
Clauses act, Mr. Bowser introduced an
amendment allowing municipal counsels to pass bylaws to put in sewerage
and waterworks which must afterwards
be voted on like a money bylaw. Formerly they conld only be put in on petition of one-half of the property own*
; ers. The new law is intended chiefly
Soutli Vancouver. Other amendments
to simplify the sewage proble-ns iu
compel municipalities to send indigent
consumptives to tbe Tranquille sanitarium and to contribute towards iheir
treatment. It also does away with saloon licenses in municipalities though
this change does not take effect until
January 15, 1014.
The Speaker entertained the ministers and members to dinner last night.

Present Year Will Be One
of Progress for Princeton
Is Centre of Remarkably Rich Mineral Territory - Many Mines
Developed—Important Agricultural Resources-
Transportation Facilities
In response to a request for some in-1
formation concerning Princeton and the I
parts of the Similkameen district tributary to it, W. C. McDougall, who has,
for years been actively associated with I
the development of that part of tbe
province, lias kindly contributed the
following:
Princeton, situated at the junction of
the Tulameen and Similkameen rivers,
is the headquarters for an extensive region rich in natural resources. The
Immediate vicinity of the town is underlain by deposits of coal, while adjoining and surrounding the coal basin
on all sides, occur extensive deposits
of cop per* gold, silver-lead and zinc ores.
The central position of Princeton In
relation to Its important surroundings,
and the ease with which it can be
reached from a large area of territory,
assures an expansion of industry and
population within a short period—in
fact conditions are already much improved over the position as It was six
months ago, aud there seems good reason to expect that lftll will see this
place become one of the busiest of the
provincial towns of British Columbia.
During the past year the V. V. & E.
railway has been completed to Princeton and a daily service inaugurated,
connecting with Midway and Grand
Forks in the Boundary country and
Spokane and all other Washington
points to the south. The completion of
the V. V. & E. railway through to the
coast will bring Princeton within 10
hours of Vancouver, by railway. The
direct connection of Ibis place with
Vancouver, the chief commercial point
in British Columbia, will add a stimulus to development and production
here that, will quickly cause Princeton
and vicinity to rank among the important producing centres of the Northwest.
During the past season a complete
waterworks system bas been installed
throughout ths town, sidewalks completed and many buildings of a substantial character erected. Business of all
kinds is good am! confidence is felt by
everyone that the coming year will be
marked by progress within the town
and a comprehensive development of
tbe neighboring coal and mineral deposits.
District Coal Resources.
The Princeton Coal and Land Co.,
Bid. (formerly the Vermilion Forks
Mining and Development Co., Ltd.) has
opened a nine Toot seam of excellent
domestic coal, east of and adjoining
tbe town, from which about 100 tons

property is equipped with tipple and
loading chutes, hoist, fans, etc. A short
spur from the main V. V. & E. railway-
line connects with tbe mine, giving
first class shipping facilities. The demand foi1 tiie coal produced by this
company is active and there is no doubt
that a much greater output will be
reached by the company wrthin a comparatively short period.
Sinking Shaft.
On Hie west and adjoining the town
on that side, the Princeton and Chilliwack Coal company, under the management of William Wilson, Is sinking
a shaft on its property. A fine seam
of coal has been opened here and the
object of the    present   working Is to

make the coal accessible at an advantageous point for continuous production. The Bhaft on this property is
now nearing the coal and if the company shall continue its present energetic policy, Princeton will be flanked
by shipping coal mines by midsummer
of 1911.
The Osoyoos Coal company of Nelson and Princeton has opened a fine
seam of coal on Its property situated
about four miles southwest of Princeton. This seam is f;"> feet in thickness
and the coal is similar in character to
that mined by the Princeton Coal and
Land Co. near town. It is understood
to be the intention of the Osoyoos company to commerce shipping coal at an
early date.
Ready for Operation.
The Princeton Collieries company organized by A. Laidlaw of Spokane, and
a number of Princeton parties, is now
preparing for operation with the intention of developing one or more of the
seams of excellent coal exposed on its
property. This company is understood
to be in a strong financial position, and
tiie development of its extensive holdings will doubtless add greatly to its
own as well as the general prosperity
of this vicinity.
Copper, Coal and Cement.
The United Empire Co., Ltd., in
which Spokane capital has lately become interested, is operating under tbe
direction of E. P. Giallac. The holdings of tliis company are unique, inasmuch as they have opened both coal
and an extensive deposit or copper-gold
ore within the boundaries of their property, and within two and one-half
miles of Princeton. The coal seams,
which are strong and the coal of excellent domestic grade, give promise of
malting a large output. Temporary
bunkers are being erected preparatory
to shipping by hauling to the railway
bv horse teams, during this winter
sleighing. A spur from the
main V. V. & 13. railway line, one and
one-half miles long, will be put in shortly after which this valuable properly
can be operated extensively.
Tbe copper-gold ore body on the
United Empire claims extends for nearly a mile in an easterly direction within the boundaries of the company's
property. The ore lies In a contact between a lime diollte formation on the
soutli, and an altered, Igneous rock on
tbe north. The ore at tbe surface consists of malachite and axurlte, changing
to pyrites with depth. The value runs
from one to ton per cent in copper and
up to $- per ton in gold and silver. The
ore body shows on the surface from 50
to 100 feet in width, but will probably
be found in a concentrated condition
at depth. The utilization of this big
deposit of ore, which can be mined at
'i minimum cost, will give an immediate impel us to tbe business and development of the surrounding district.
The British Columbia Portland Cement Co.. recently incorporated, secured tiie site for its works and its raw
materials from the United Empire Co.
The former is near the United Empire
mine, about two and one-half miles
from Princeton. The spur from the V.
V. & E. railway main line up One-mile
creek to the mine will pass through ibe
cement, company's yards and give this
important undertaking direct railway
connection with the entire country east
and south as far as Spokane. The first
500 barrels per day unit of tbe cement,
company's plant, will be In operation
early In BUI. and the output will thereafter be increased to 1500 barrels per
day.
Making of Cement,
The raw material for making cement,
consisting of limestone and clay, and
cheap co;d for tbe roaBters, all occur
In close proximity to each other and
within a few hundred yards of the site
selected for the cement works. The
ground floor and other plans for the
erection of the plant were recently laid
out by W. .1. Budd. Timber will be cut
and prepared this winter and the actual work of construction will be commenced as soon as woather conditions
will permit in the early spring.
Transportation and Power.
Referriiiu' again to railway connec*
ncc'ion with Princeton, it may be stated tbat the main Kettle Valley railway
line will likely pass about six miles
north of Princeton and a spur will
doubtless be constructed down One-
mile creek to connect with that town.
This spur line will pass within a few
hundred feet of the United Empire mine
and the cement works on One-mile
creek.
The inevitable demand for cheap
power which the active development of
"Us district must create, is to be met
by Uie installation of an up-to-date
bydro-eicctrie plant on the Slmllkameen
river, the site for tbe power house being about one mile below Princeton.
Surveyors, etc., are now in progress and
tiie construction of the plant will be
undertaken during the coming year,
A Large Copper-gold Field.
Vast and productive as the before-
mentioned undertakings may become,
they cannot be expected to compare in
output with that of the copper-gold nnd
other mineral areas adjacent and tributary to Princeton. Copper mountain,
12 mlb's south from the town, contains
Immense deposits of copper-gold ores,
imt. will average at least $8 per ton,
while mining, transportation and smelting charges should not exceed $5 per
■ ton, and probably less If local reduction

is a better flour, because I follow
it through every stage.   First,
I am mighty particular in the
selection of the wheat, and that
counts a lot.   In fact, it is one
of the very biggest factors in making a
superior quality of flour.   There is a big
difference in districts, you know, and
for Seal of Alberta  we select wheat
from particular districts.
"Then  we are   careful  about   cleaning  it.
It is screened and scoured and washed.   It would
be hard to do any more than that, wouldn't it?
Then we have searched the world for the finest
milling machinery, and we have it here-   When the
wheat is milled it is tested and aged, and not a
sack goes out to you until it is just right.   And that
is why so many people say Seal of Alberta is a better
flour.   Those who use it know it te beUer, because
it makes a larger, lighter, whiter loaf cf better texture

better—I have told you some of the reasons why."
tant smelteries. Among the many well
known claims on Copper mountain may
be mentioned tbe Sunset, Oriole, Helen
II. Gardner, Princess May Ada B, King
Solomon, Triangle, Red Eagle and Princess Maud.
South of those is situated the Reco
group, which is under bond to J. C. Mc-
Cauley, who is pushing development
vigorously by tunneling in order to
open at depth the main vein on the properly.
On the eastern slope of Copper mountain, along Wolf creek valley, E. Voigt
lias opened quantities of ore that contains copper and gold values up to $10
per ton. This important group of properties is being investigated by Boston
and New York capitalists, who are evidencing much interest in the mineral
areas of this district.
West of Copper mountain and separated from it by the Similkameen river
is Kennedy mountain, well known as a
copper-gold camp. Here the Red Buck,
Bornite, Larclne, Moque, Peerless and
Nubian group of copper-gold bearing
claims, compare favorably with the
best on Copper mountain, both In extent of ore deposits and value.
Three miles south of Kennedy mountain, on the west, side of the Similkameen river, near the mouth or Friday
creek, the Gladstone group has been
opened by Mr. Wheeler of Conconully,
Washington. This property is said to
contain an extensive body of three to
five per cent copper ore, and when a
railway shall be built up the Similkameen valley from Princeton, as ft assuredly will lie within a short time, tbe
Gladstone will contribute a heavy tonnage and add materially to the general
prosperity of ihe district.
Beyond Friday creek, at Roche river,
(another branch of tbe Similkameen)
the Powell and Bonuievie properly is
situated. This contains a high grade
copper ore body, and only transportation facilities are required to admit of
its taking rank among the most important high grade copper producing
properties in British Columbia.
Beyond Itocbe river, the country
about the headwaters of the Slmllkameen has not been prospected to any
appreciable extent, but there Is ample
evidence that It is mineral bearing to a
remarkable degree, through to Steamboat mountain on the Skagit river slope.
Northwesterly from there for nt least
■10 miles, along and near tiie summit of
the Cascade range, occurs an Immense
mineral zone, that so far has hardly
been "scratched,'' let alone intelligently prospected. Some day perhaps In
the near future, this remarkable mineral territory will doubtless be renowned for its mines and mining activity.
Along the Old Hope Trail.
Twenty miles from Princeton, along
the old Hope trail, on Whlpsaw creek
(a tributary which joins the Slmllkameen river nine miles above Princeton);
Spencer's camp and tbe properties of
Knight and Bay are situated. Many
other Individual claims and groups bave
also been located at this point during
tbe past year. The ore in this camp Is
silver-lead, and r.ssay value ranging up
to $100 per ton has been obtained. The
Spencer and Lucky Pair (Knight and
Day) property ledges are large and the
ore averages possibly -?30 to ?50 per
ton In lead and silver. Development
has not, however, been sufficient to
enable a correct estimate of value to
be arrived at, but It appears abundantly evident, tbat rich and extensive ore
bodies exist in this camp, which Is ac-
ceBsable from Princeton by nine miles
of wagon road and 11 miles of trail.
Tho trail will, in all probability, be
mode into a wagon road thia year, after which shipment of the higher grade
ore may he practicable by the V. V. &
E. railway from Princeton.
Mining Properties Below Princeton.
The property of the Princeton Copper Co. of which Robert Stevenson, the
well known pioneer of Princeton, and
Dr. Blair of Spokane, are the principal
owners, adjoins the V.' V. & E. tracks,
four miles below Princeton. A number
of men have been engaged during the
pnBt year developing thia property, and
have taken out some good ore, a car
load of which has been sacked preparatory to shipment, Mr. Stevenson has
given this property his personal supervision during tbe past 18 months.
North of the Princeton Copper Co.'s
properties, across the Slmllkameen
river, the Uhler nnd Cox group on
Holmes mountain, deserves attention.
It consists of eight claims, through
which run a number of veins contain*
lng value in copper and gold, In fact
some of the highest grade ore produced
In this district has been obtained from
this group. The situation ls an excellent one, both as regards opportunities
for development and easy shipping
facilities.
Along the upper reaches of One-mile
creek numbers of claims have been located and samples of good grade copper-
gold ore obtained. This section is as
yet too new to admit of anything definite being arrived at relative to its prospective or definite vulue.
Granite Creek and Tulameen.
West of Princeton, at Granite creek
and Tulameen, also at Bear, Eagle,
Champion and Kelly creeks, and in Summit camp occur promising ore exposures, in many instances equal, if not
superior, to those occurring near Princeton. This important section embracing
ihe Granite creek bituminous coal field,
is too extensive and varied In resources
to be dealt with briefly, consequently
nothing more than mere mention of the
vast possibilities of tiie region adjacent
to the Tulameen river and its numerous
tributaries can be attempted here. It
may be slated, however, that when railway connection shall he established,
grading of the V. V. & E. line is already
completed from Princeton IS miles west
lo Tulameen City, the laying of tbe
rails only being necessary to give tbe
required transportation facilities, the
mineral output from this important territory will figure big in tbe annual reports from British Columbia. This Is a
foregone conclusion.
Such in brief is the mineral territory
adjacent and tributary to Princeton.
The agricultural resources of this territory are important and w*ll contribute
largely to the general prosperity, but it
to tiie vast mineral areas, aud their
active and vigorous development and
centralization we must look for tbe big
things which the future undoubtedly
has in store for tbe entire Sliullkameen
valley and Its neighboring districts.

To Investors
We would like you to consider a few more points regarding our new subdivision in Burnaby.
It is in several reBpects the beat property we have ever been able to secure for our clients, for the
following reasons: It is closer to the city limits of New Westminster and very close to the new buildings
going up in Sapperton. It !b close to the new B. C. Electric car line, via Burnaby lake from Vancouver,
through New Westminster to Chilliwack and all points in the Fraser valley. This line will open on the
first of March and will cause an- immediate advance in all property along the route.
It Ib close to most of theblg- manufacturing plants.
The whole addition lies with a gentle slope to the east, consequently every lot commands a splendid
view overlooking the railroads and electric lines, the great manufacturing district ,the Fraser river and
Port Mann.
Graded Btreets and sidewalks are going in along two sides of the property, and Just across the street
many new buildings are being erected. There is no broken ground, or undesirable lot in the whole addition.
Size of the lots, 35 by 110 feet to lane. Price only $350, {20 down and $10 per month with extension of
time if required..
We also guaranutee that If every lot is not found as represented in our printed matter, we will return amount paid in full with 10 per cent.
Remember, the subdividing of land between the cities is practically over and if you wait until that time
arrives you will pay a much larger figure to the man who only owns one or two lots, and you will not get
the terms we can offer you now.
We firmly believe that property along this new car line will be double the price it is now in less
than one year from today.   Do not wait.

DETERMINED TO
GET DIRECT VOTE
President  Will   Not   Permit  Senate  to
Evade Reciprocity Issue—Holds
Conference.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28—President
Taft made it plain tonight that he will
not be deterred from his determination
to call an extra sesBion of congress to
secure action on the consideration of
the Canadian reciprocity agreement hy
any vote which the senate may take on
the question unless it Ib plain to him
that such vote Is a real test as to the
merits of tbe agreement and not merely
an attempt to avoid an extra session.
Intimations were made today that the
president might be kept from convening
congresB In extra session if some sort
of a vote could be secured, whether
direct or not, tending to show strong
opposition to tbe measure. Efforts
were being made, It was said, to secure the votes of a number of members
who were In favor of reciprocity but
opposed to an extra session, the intimation being that the president would be
satisfied with n test vote which showed
that the opposition to reciprocity
would not be overcome even in an extra
session. The president emphatically tonight declared that nothing would satisfy him but an absolutely honest vote
on tbe merits of the bill.
This was after a conference at the
White House with Representatives
Payne, Weeks and Gillett present. The
president also had summoned a number
of senators but owing to the night session they could not go and will see the
president tomorrow. The subject discussed at the conference was the date
of the meeting of the extra session.

LIBERAL    REVOLT AGAINST    RE
PROCITY.
Short as Is the time which has
elapsed since the bringing down of the
reciprocity agreement, a tremendous
volume of public opinion has already
declared against it.
The Conservative party Is a unit in
its opposition to the measure. Not one
prominent Conservative has declared in
Its favor. But the opposition Is by no
meaus from Conservatives only.
A few days ago eighteen prominent
Liberals issued a signed manifesto
against the agreement. The signers included men like Sir Mortimer Clark,
who for party services to the Liberals
was a few years ago appointed lieutenant governor of Ontario, Mr. Eaton, Mr.
E. A. Wood, Sir Edmund Walker and
other men of similar standing.
At Liberal meetings for tbe election
of executive officers old supporters of
the party have denounced the agreement, Sir George Ross, the last Liberal
premier of Ontario lias spoken against
it, and Mr. Sifton now comes out in utter and irreconcilable opposition.
change. Imports from Great' Britain
had grown from $29,000,000 in 1897 to
$75,000,000 in 1910. The increase has
been 20 per cent and it is no answer to
the argument that that preference was
an effective preference to say that it
arose from other and very special reasons. We were importing large quantities of goods from the United States
for the benefit largely of our own manufacturers.   The British preference was
lng up against tbe parliament buildings
if they fell upon him.
Fruit Growers Injured
Mr. Sifton said be would not say
anything about the fruit and vegetable
growers. They would be injured. He
"would call the attention of the government to the full and careful presentation of the case made by Mr. Martin
Burrell, Yale-Cariboo, which he said
had not been answered. No better, no
a substantial  preference and   it  had I fUn.er case nail ever been presented to
been suggested that it was likely to the house while be had been a member
be substantially increased, but on that
point ,he wished to express himself
clearly and fully. Nobody was a more
enthusiastic supporter of the British
preference than he when it waa adopted, but he thought there were HmltB to
the extent to which we may go even in
of it. Surely when a case of that kind
was declared and no answer made he
must conclude that no answer could be
made. He mentioned also tbe case of
tbe Quaker Oats establishment in Peterboro, the president of which had
given an Interview, and which he had

own motion without discussion, without debate, without the knowledge of
the country, commit the country to a
radical change of fiscal policy. That is
not, l am bound to say, the doctrine of
constitutional government as it was
thought in tbe Liberal party and I do
not think there could be a possibility
of a more dangerous innovation."
The British Preference
Mr. .Sifton said the tariff of 1897 had
as its most outstanding feature British
preference, secondly a readjustment of
duties which largely reduced the duties
upon articles commonly used by the
farming community and thirdly, a substantial reduction In duties on raw materials of manufacturers. He would
say that the system of protection was
continued by that tariff and that it did
not fully implement all the promises
or suggestions which they, as members
of the liberal party had made in regard
to their future policy, when they were
in opposition. However, the policy of
the tariff of 1897 was deliberately
adopted and all the matters were canvassed . and considered before It was
adopted. Tbey went to the country fn
1900 upon that tariff and submitted it
to the judgment of the people. The re*
BUlt was that the judgment of the people upheld the government and declared tbat tbat tariff had been approved.
Mr. Sifton said that in his opinion it
was the best tariff that could have
been adopted. Since then he had become thoroughly convinced that a tariff policy which embraced the principle
of moderate protection applicable to
all classes of the community, was the
beBt policy that the Dominion of Canada could adopt. It would be unsafe
and   unwise  to  institute-a    radical
reasonable prices.
Canada Now Prosperous
As a result of the policy Canada had
been following, the figures indicated,
great progress and prosperity. In the
last 15 years Canada had prospered
more abundantly than any other country on the fact of the earth and the
main body of the people of Canada were
better off than any other population
of similar numbers that could be pointed out. Our farmers were prosperous,
our laborers were well paid, there was
no unemployment and no poverty except tbat due to drink, vice, sickness or
other causes which did not depend upon jever, was not done. The values in the

The publisher of the best Farmers' paper
in the Maritime Provinces ln writing to us
states:
"I would say that I do not know of a
medicine that has stood the test of time
like MINARD'S LINIMENT. It has been
an unfailing remedy in our household ever
since I can remember, and lias outlived
dozens of would-be competitors und Imitators."
farmers  were  receiving for their products.
Prosperity and Independence
Discussing the question as to whether
the prosperity Canada had enjoyed was
a sound prosperity, Mr. Sifton quoted
figures from a volume Issued under tbe
direction of the minister of labor, dealing with the subject of wholesale
prices to show that in the period 1S90
to 1910 there had been a rise in the
value of grain and fodder and other
products of the farm of 35.T per cent
while the average increase of commo
dltles purchased by the farmer was only
;14.:i per cent. This he regarded as a
conclusive demonstration that the urban community was not living al the
'expense of the farmer, but the fanner
himself was getting more than his
share of the general prosperity of the
community. The local markets of Can-
: ada took from SO to 00 per cent of
everything raised by the farmer population and the rest was sent to the great
j free markets of Great Britain from
; which nothing but our own foolishness
j could possibly exclude us. We had
prosperity,, soundness and absolute independence in our markets. Tbe proposition was now made that we revolutionize the fiscal policy under which
these results were attained. He felt
that he waB within the mark In saying
that there would be very great dislocation and disturbance of business,
that there would be individuals wbo
would suffer very great loss and thnt
for considerable portions of the community the disturbance would be of a
very serious character. As to the general progress of Canada, however, the
production of the country was so enormous and the development of our resources so wide tbat no possible mistake of fiscal policy could prevent
this country making enormous progress
in future. Nevertheless the effect would
be serious. Some Industries would be
destroyed. There could be no doubt
about  that.
Packing   Industry  Ruined
The meat packing industry would be
one which would be wiped out. There
was no more chance of Its standing
against the beef trust of tbe United
States than there would be of his stand-
market, instituted cold storage and did
everything possible to open up markets
for these products in Great. Britain.
The country succeeded entirely. These
products were now being sent to Great
Britain, a staple, free, market, from
which we had never been excluded, a
market in whicli we were finding fresh
extensions every year. We now proposed to ship our stuff to the United
States instead and to throw away all
the advantage of all the work that we
had done. Nobody knows how long the
United States market would remain
open.
A year ago the United States brandished a club over our heads in the form
of a surtax, now tbey were said to be
friendly. Perhaps they were but what
would they be a year from now? Nobody knew. At present the United
States was abrogating the Blaine treaty
of reciprocity made with the Latin republics a few years ago, without even

might arise. Dozens of things might
happen between the United States and
Canada and Great Britain, serious
enough to make it very easy for a political party in the United States to
court popularity by doing something
which might be of an unfriendly character. "Then when our market is closed," asked Mr. Sifton, "When we have
shut ourselves out from Great Britain
what is the position? Sir, we are putting our head into a noose."
The Farmers' Market
As to the compensations to be derived it had been said that the farmers would have better markets. He
had made a careful examination of the
prices of various staples that Canada
could sell in the open market and he
found that the average price of farm
products was better in Ontario and
Quebec than in the United States.
While we might get better prices in the
United States on higher grades, we
would lose on the lower grades which
are more productive. At present there
was a perfectly good market for all the
farm produce raised in Canada now.
The Meat Trust

F. E. SIMPSON
(formerly of Cranbrook)
Real    Estate    Broker,   Kamloops, B.C.
General Agent.
Every town is gauged by its present condition and future. Kamloops can stand the closest inspection lagth'e respect. It is as solid as the Rock of
Gibraltar, it is conceded that its climate ls the best in Canada, it Is one of the most beautiful towns in the wesft/iiie surrounding country is the beBt for
fruit growing and grazing and It ls firmly believed by those who have Investigated the situation that the popujjjion, now 4600, will be doubled within the
next ten or fifteen months. fffi
WHY? *
Because  a  conservative  estimate shows that the expenditures In and Immediately arround the city will be between {2,260,000 and ".2,600,000.
HOW?
The Canadian Northern Railway is building Into the city and It is stated on the best of authority that the C.F.R. ls building an alternative freight
route from Red Deer, Alberta to the Yellowheud Pass, and down tho North Thompson to Kamloops. This explalt.s the unusually large expenditures being made by the C.P.R. at Kamloops this year. The city will expend $260,0C0, tho province will expend 1300,000 to $360,000, the Dominion government
will expend $26,000 to $60,000, the new hospital will cost $126,000, the combination traffic and railway bridge to be built by the Canadian Northern and
■ the province will cost $260,000, the new Old Man's Home will cost $200,000, the C.P.R. bought $250,000 worth of property last year, and It ls stated
that they will spend $800,000 more in extending yards, enlarging shops, bundling new depot and other substantial Improvements, and the rest will be expended In new business blocks already tinder construction or with plans ready to build, and many new residences. That' Is why all eyes are on Kamloops
this year.   The people know that money Invested there will bring good returns.   One of the best buys ls lots in

addition will bo sold, the even numbered lots, ns the balance will be held until next year. This arrangement shows my faith ln the property, as I am
satisfied I will make more money by holding half of the lots. You can get in on the same baslB now. If this was not a gilt-edged Investment, those
who know me ln the Kootenays know I would not be handling It.  Get In early for there is going to be a rush. ,

market what remedy would there be?
The head office of the trust would be
in Chicago or New York, outside of
Canadian jurisdiction and only one
thing could be done—put the duty hack
where,it is now and start all over again
to build up local industries which we
are helping to destroy.
Effect on Farmer
"In the prairie provinces there are a
great many people who believe this
agreement will be a good thing for
them. Well, I have seen premature conclusions reached before hi my 23 years
in public life In which I have experience that not many men have had in
representing the same western constituency in all that time. During that
time I have seen a great many questions come up as to what was going to
benefit the farmer and I am not. sure
that when this comes to be fully discussed that the farmers of the west will
be imprevlous to reason and common
sense and good judgment when thev
come to listen to reason.
"It was argued that this agreement
would give the westerner more for his
wheat. Now comes J. J. Hill who says
that the duty does not make any difference on the price of wheat for while
the Dakota farmer gets a little more
for his wheat, that it is on account of
local circumstances. Now, Mr. Hill is
either right or wrong. IE right, the
Manitoba farmer will not. get any more
for his wheat with the duty taken off.
If he is wrong, if the duty does make a
difference, then as soon as the immense
Manitoba yield goes into Dakota, wheat
there goes down in price to export level
and the Manitoba farmer does not get
any more. There is no doubt about
that, it has happened already." Mr. Sifton quoted the New York Evening Post
in confirmation of what he bad argued.
There is another factor in the shape
of the 133,000,000 bushels oE surplus
United States wheat that must be disposed of. This means that values must
go to export level at which a liberal disposition of wheat can be made. By the
adoption of this treaty it is expected
that wheat will be kept on an export
level most of the time. Mr. Sifton said
that the big ambition of past years had
been to keep Manitoba wheat pure. Canada labored for weeks and months in
drawing up an inspection act that wheat
should be properly inspected, graded
jand placed pure on the British market
I
Why?   Because Canadian wheat plac
ed pure on the British market brings
from three to four cents more a bushel
than any other wheat on earth. As a
result wheat was put on the markets
pure for a year or so, but some one
found how to get, around the act and
wheat went off again. He stated that
the terminal elevators are in the hands
of men who buy and sell wheat themselves and are also handling millions
of bushels of other men's wheat so
that grains have been mixed, grades
have gone down and farmers have lost
millions. He advocated, in passing, government control, not ownership, of elevators, so that control could be kept
of the wheat until it reached Liverpool.
He argued that if we keep control of
the wheat we are able to give proper
inspection and therefore get a better
price. Transportation will be improved,
meaning a reduction in rates, so that
instead of Canadian fanners getting a
bonus of three cents a bushel for wheat
sent through Canadian channels, as was
tentively suggested by Mr. Ames, if it
were properly handled in the first place
and the question of rates properly
"who";dealt with, we would get for them a
jbouus of from six to seven cents more
~~~       _ than anv other way.   He argued that

what our government was thinking of
when they assented to such a proposal.
Got In Wrong.
I leave this question of markets and
prices to record my opinion that if ever
a government made a monumental mistake, if ever a government got in wrong
on a subject my honorable friends have
gone wrong on this subject. The public may think I am not In earnest about
this. Sir, I would not break with any
political party with which I have been
associated for 35 yeara, practically all
my life, if I were not very much it
earnest about this matter.
"What Is the commonest phrase in
the mouths of the people of Canada?
We hear it from public men, we read
it In editorials in newspapers, we see
it In school hookB. It is 'bind the scattered provinces of Canada together,
would like to know if this treaty is
proposed to bind together the scattered
provinces. It binds all right, but it
binds the other way, it binds Britisn
Columbia to Oregon and Washington;
ft hinds the prairies and Ontario to tho
states immediately smith of them; il
bindB the maritime provinces to thp
New England states. And we are asked to believe that a policy of this kind
ls a broad national policy and one that
is to promote a strong nationality.
If It does not matter which way thp
traffic goes, why spend $30,000 and $fi0,-
000 and $133,000 a mile duplicating the
Intercolonial. For my part I see no
reason. I take Hansard and read the
strong words of my right honorable
friend when he said that of all things
the policy of Canada Is that Canada
shall be independent in a commercial
way of the United States. He never
said a word in the whole course of his
political career with which I believed
and believe more'fully than I did with
that statement. The difference between
us is that, we both believed ft then and
1 believed it then and I believe it now
and so long as I have a voice to raise
publicly in Canada, I shall continue to
support (his as a loyal policy for Ihe
people of Canada to follow. We know
that the milling trust of St. Paul If
supporting this agreement and why?
Because they want Canadian wheat and
because they want to drive Canadian
whent from the export market. It is
as easy as adding two and *two together.
What of the Future.
What is to be our future commercial
relation with the United States. 1 see
no possible answer to the argument of
the member for North Toronto on this
subject. It is perfectly 'clear that on
the day we adapt ourselves to United
States markets, on tiie day we start
to cater our trade to those markets,
that day 'strengthens the grip of the
United States on Canada and 1 do not
believe there will ever be a revision
of our tariff, unless a rupture takes
place, that United States interest lob'
byists and pressure will not be brought
to hear on this parliament. The only
possible effect is domination of the
smaller hy the larger.
I say lo the men of tli'S Liberal party
as well ns to my friends of the Conservative parly, stop and think. You an;
grown men, men of wisdom and discretion. Is it safe for 7,500,000 to bargain
with 90,000,000? We may say we will
take It at their terms but not pay the
price. Sir, I think such a course is
neither safe nor wise. If we take the
terms we will have to pay the price. I
oppose this resolution because it reverses the policy, under which the people of Canada, fighting under poverty
against natural obstacles, against geographical conditions, have made their
country one of the most enviable in Ihe
world. These resolutions, in my judgment spell retrogression, commercial
subordination, destruction of our national ideals and displacement from our
proud position as the rising hope of
the British empire. (Loud Conservative
cheers.)

"I had dropsy, and was told

there was no chance for me. My

limbs and body were swollen
one-third larger than natural,
water collected around my heart
and I had to be propped up in

was in 1902, and I am now able
to do any kind of work on my
farm. My cure was certainly
marvelous."

and getting no better price. There is
no doubt but that the farmer will get
better prices for his cattle under the
agreement hut Canada has hardly arrived at the point of developing a trade
In this respect yet. There is no reason
for throwing away the market because
it is now poor and concluding that It
never will be good. The farmers' delegation asked the government to do all
It could to prevent Canada getting into
the clutches of the American meat
trust, but with the agreement in force
they can capture and control all the
cattle of the northwest.
Back Yard for Chicago.
What I say Is that we should establish a chilled meat industry, We should
organize the western country in a business way and if we do we shall have
through the west duplicates of Omaha,
Kansas City and other prosperous American centres in our northwest. The
best years of my life I have given to
this great western country and I cannot tell how 1 feel at this great country
being made a back yard for the city of
Chicago.   (Cheers.)
Duties Will Go.
The effect of this treaty generally is
that Canada has absolute free trade so
far as farm produce Ib concerned. Farmers of Canada are on a free trade
bnsfs for what they sell and a protection basis for what they buy. How long
are they likely to stand for that. After this has been in force for a few
years there will not be any question as
to the duty on agricultural implements
or on any other goods for we ahall be
forced to take nil duties off and have
practically a commercial union with
flie United States. As men of common
sense, let us apply to this question the
rules of common sense as we would to
any other question, and consider that
all the favored nations along with the
United States which oan raise products
cheaper than Canada^ can dump goods

DISPUTE A3 TO
FREIGHT AND DUTY
Annable Lumber   Company    Loses Action Brought By Machinery
Concern.
The suit Atkins vs. the G. M. Amiable Lumber company in the county
court was disposed of before his honor,
Judge Forin yesterday afternoon, judgment being given for the plaintiffs for
the sum of ?73.33. E. C. Wragge represented the plaintiffs, the B. C. Atkins
company of Hamilton, Out., and A. M,
Johnson appeared for the lumber company. The suit waB entered for the
sum of $45,25 and $73.33 which tho
plaintiffs claimed to be the balance due
on a quantity of machinery supplied to
the defendants. The defence was that
the former sum was an extra charge
for freight accrued through the mistake
of the Atkins company and that they
were not liable for the $73.33 because
this sum was charged for duly and
freight on certain machinery brought
In from a point in Michigan to Hamilton, contending that the whole shlpinenf
was contracted for at a price f.o.b. Hamilton, Ont.
The machinery was sold in February
last to the George Campbell, manager
of the Annable Lumber company at
Trail, by W. V. Birdsall, sales agent for
the Atkins company of Hamilton, Out.,
and also for the Cogel Manufacturing
company of Benton Harbor, Mich.
In the witness box he stated that lie
made the sale in the company's office
near Trail. Me told Mr. Campbell that
he represented both the Hamilton u\u\
the Benton Harbor companies tin J was
asked by 'Mr. Campbell to make up a
list of machinery that he, witness,
thought would be required In the mill.
This was done and certain machinery,
to be supplied by both the Canadian i«nd
the United Slates company, was ordered. He produced the order form and
explained that, the words "plus freight
and duty" referred to the Cogle portion
of the machinery ordered. He had tcld
Mr. Campbell that the Cogle machinery
was all sold at the United Stales price,
plus duty and freight.
Cross examined by Mr. Johnson witness stated that he remembered a Mr.
Newman and a Mr. Warner being present in the office at the time he made
the deal with Mr. Campbell. It was Mr,
Warner, mill superintendent, who attended to the details of the ordering.
The words "f.o.b. factory" at the head of
the order form meant free-on-d ell very at
Benton Harbor and not at Hamilton. A
certain delay had occurred In the shipment of some of the machinery which
had been due to an error on the part of
the plaintiffs. This had resulted In the
defendants being charged with some extra freight, duo to the .difference between carload and small shipment
rates.
Claim Partially Waived.
At this point Mr. Wragge stated that
his clients were willing to waive the
claim for the $-15.25 extra freight
charges between Michigan nnd Hamilton. Ont.
For tbe defence George Campbell,
manager of the G. M. Annable Lumber
company, stated that the goods were all
purchased f.o.b. Hamilton. Tbe Atkins
company bad been given the order because they had a factory at Hamilton
and because the machinery, all bought
at eastern prices, could be shipped west
in carload lots. Witness said the words
"plus freight and duty" placed on the
order near two Items referred only to
those Items which Mr. Birdsall had offered to throw in with the order free
of any charge except duty and tbe
freight, stating at the time that the
order was a pretty substantial one and
that he could afford to give these two
pieces of machinery free. No mention
of American prices had been made excepting In regard to these two items
of the order.
George T. Newman, also an employee
of the lumber company, said that he
heard tho discussion as to prices, etc..
between Messrs, Warner, Campbell and
Birdsall and that he remembered hearing that the two items marked "plus
freight and duty" were to be given free
of actual cost.

the plaintiffs, remarked that these disputes as fo contracts between sales
agents and purchasers were "an oft-
told tale." There had obviously been
some misunderstanding and he had to
take the most reasonable view. The
machinery sold was of a standard make,
the company was a standard one and
did business on certain definite lines
If the defendants had paid anything
above standard prices for the machinery
it might have heen argued that they
had been imposed on but there was no
complaint that the charges for the
machinery were excessive. The factory
prices of the goods were well known,
or should be well known, and there
should have heen no danger of confusing the Hamilton and the Benton Harbor prices.

Socialist   Resolution
"Busied upon Information given by A. D.

.federation, In un address at our meeting
In Nelson, February 10, the following reso-»
lutlon was adopted:
"Whereas there are ln the prisons at
Novogeorgiesk, Russia, some 500 Armenians
who nave beun held mere for a period ot
over two years without a trial or hearing
or any preliminary proceedings to which
they are entitled according to the constitution of Russia. Under the said constitution
the accused should be given a trial In their
own residential district; and
'•Whereas these people have been transported to Novogeorgtesk, a Cossack centre,
1,000 miles from their homes; thrown Into
prison there, und made to suffer untold
hardships through lack of proper food and
clothing, many contracting tuberculosis,
and all treated as convicts; and
"Whereas the accusations against these
people being absolutely Without foundation
or uny supiiurting evidence; the present Indifference of the Russian officials to the
supplications of tbe friends and relatives
of the accused, all of which bids fair to
develop Into a tragedy by which the
flower of the Armenians in that country
will lose their lives; and
"Whereas the arbitrary methods of the

KAMLOOPS COMING
INTO ITS DESTINY
Two and a  Half Million  Dollars Will
be Spent In and Near City This
Year—Boom Develops
"To an extent that the other towns In
British Columbia hardly yet realize, Kamloops Is developing, and any who have
hi the to overlooked that town's destiny
must, In tbe face of present facts, revise
their estimate," said F. 13. Simpson, of
Kamloops, last night. Mr. Simpson, who
Is an old newspaperman of Cranbrook, Is
in Nelson tn connection with arranging an
advertising campaign of bis addition to
Kamloopa, known as "Bookman's Addition."
"Kamloops, situated '£>. miles cast of
Vancouver on the main line of-the C.P.R.,
Is, as you know, one of tbe oldest towns
In this province," continued Mr. Simpson.
' A Hudson's Bay post was located there
Just 100 years ago. Kamloops was one of
the quiet old towns of the province until
two years ago, when the news of the
probable building of the C.N.R, through
that town awoke the citizens to a realisation of the fact that Kamloops was Aiming
Into Its own. Last year wus a good year
for that city, as property advanced In
value, and many substantial buildings were
erected. ThlB year the movement will almost be in the nature of a boom, although
the people are not striving for anything
of thnt character, and prosperity is comlnj
with an open hand.
Base of Supplies
"The C.N.R, has been surveyed to tlfl
city, and ff the present arrangements an
carried out, Kamloops will be used as I
base of supplies, and work will be carrlei
on north and west simultaneously.
"Last fall the C.P.R, purchased $250,00
to $275,000 worth of property, and- are en
farglng their roundhouse and shops,
extending their yards. As It Is quite eVfl
dent that Is is the C.P.R. that ls back of
tho Alberta Central that Is building wen
of Yellowhead pass and down the north
Thompson to Kamloops, these ' increase!
are to meet heavier demands on the coma
pany.
Government Works
"The   provincial government   has  heen J
very liberal with Kamloops this year, and';
will   start  building a new  provincial olda
man's home that Ib to cost $200,000.   It will '
also spend  from $50,000 to $75,000 In Improving the capacity of the provincial jail,
to keep pace with tbe requirements of the]
growing territory.   The provincial govern- f
ment and the C.N.R. will unite In the construction of a combination traffic and railway bridge across the south Thompson, at
a cost of USO,000.
"Many large business blocks are under :
construction, and plans are ready for more.
All tne hotels In the city have been enlarged, and lt is evident that Kamloops ,
will  be one of the liveliest cities in the
province the coming year.
"tt Is conceded as a conservative estimate by Mayor Robinson, an old-time
resident, that the expenditures in and Immediately around Kamloops this year will
reach $2,250,000 to $3,H»,ffl»."
