Famous Humourist Passes
Away Painlessly
Worn by Grief and Agony
of Body
Devoted to tobacco Even
on Deathbed
REDDING, Oonn., April 21.—Samuel
Langhorne Clemens, (Mark Twain),
died painlessly at 6:30 o'clock tonight
of angina pectoris. He lapsed Into
coma at 3 o'clock this afternoon and
never recovered consciousness.
Worn Out by Grief.
- It was tbe -end of a man outworn by,
grief and acute agony of body. Yesterday was a bad day for the little knot
of anxious watchers at. the bedside.
For long hours the grey aquiline feat*
urea lay as molded In the Inertia of
■ death. The pulse sank lower and
lower but late at night the patient
passed from stupor Into the first nat*
' ural sleep he had taken since he returned -from Bermuda and this morning awoke refreshed, even faintly
cheerful, and in full possession of all
his faculties.
Recognized His Daughter.
He recognized his daughter Carrie,
Mrs. Osslp Gabrlllotch, and spoke a
rational word or two. These words
were his last. Laying aside his glasses
and pencil he Bank first Into reverie
and' later Into final unconsciousness.
There was no thought at the time,
however, that the end was so near.
At 5 o'clock Dr. Robert Halsey, who
had been continuously in attendance,
said that Mr. Clemens was not so
strong as yesterday, but that he had
wonderful vitality and might rally
again. Albert B. Paine, Mark Twain's
biographer, said when a reporter inquired: "i do not think you will have
.to cau often."
Nevertheless Mr. and Mrs. B. N.
Loom-is, who had come up from New
York to give their love in person left
Stoi-mfteid, Mr. Clemens' house, without seeing htan and only heard of his
death just ss they were taking the train
to New York again. Mrs. Loomls was
Mr. Clemens favorite niece. Mr.
Loomls Is vice president of the Lacka*
wana Railroad company.
Palled to Respond.
Restoratives, digitalis, strychnine
and camphor -were administered but
the patient failed to respond, A tank
of oxygen stands uncalled for at Redding station. Oxygen was tried* yes*
terday and the physicians explained
that it was of no use, because the
valvular action of the heart was not
disordered. There was only an ex*
treme and -increasing debility.
Sedatives Soothed His Pain.
Mark Twain did not die in anguish,
sedatives soothed his pain, but in his
moments of consciousness the mental
depression persisted,
On the way from Bermuda he said
to Albert Blgelow Paine: "Tigs is a
bad Job, we -may never pull through
with It." On shore and longing for the
serenity of the New England hills he
took heart and courage and said to
those who noted his enfeebled condition tn sorrow, "Give me a breath of
Redding air once more and this will
pass.'.* But lt did not pass and, tired
of body, and weary of spirit, the old
warrior against shakes and chills said
faintly to his nurses, "Why do you
fight to keep me alive."
Not -Nicotine Poisoning.
It is certain to be recalled tbat Mark
Twain was for more than 60 years an
Inveterate smoker and the first conjecture of the layman would he that
he had weakened his heart by over Indulgence In tobacco. Dr. Halsey said
tonight that be was unable to say that
tbe angina pectoris, from which Mark
Twain died, was in any way a sequel of
nicotine poisoning. Some, constitutions, he said, seem Immune from the
effects of tobacco, and this was one
of them. Yet It ls true that since his
illness began, the doctors had cut down
Mark Twain's dally allowance of
29 cigars and countless pipes, to four
cigars a day.
Longed for Smoke.
No deprivation was a greater sorrow
to him. He tried to smoke on the
steamer while returning from Bermuda
and only gave lt up because he was too
feeble to draw on his pipe. Even on
hip deathbed when he had passed the
point of speech and It was ho longer
certain that life would last he would
make the motion of smoking a cigar
and* shilling expelled air from under
the moustache still stained with smoke.
Mark Twain chose to spend his de*
dining years among the hills of Redding. It was among these hills that
General Israel' Putnam of Revolutionary fame, mustered his spares rinks.
Sherwood place was the delectable
name given the place , he purchased
and where tt stood Mark Twain reared
the white walls ot an Italian villa. He
firet named It "Innocent At-home," but
a first experience of what a NeV Eng*
 „___..      ... .. _. ^^^
fury quickly caused him to change It
to "Sturm-field.' '
His House.
The house has been thus described
by Albert Bigelow Paine. "Set on a
fair hillside with such a green slope
below, such a view outspread across
the valley as made one catch hie
breath a little when he first returned
to look at lt. A trout stream flows
through one of the meadows. There
are apple trees and gray stone walls,
the entrance to It ls a- winding leafy
fane. Through this lane "The Innocent
at Home" loved to wander In his white
flannels tor homely gossip with the
neighbors. They remember him best
as one who loved a good listener for
Mark Twain was a mighty talker, stored with fairy tales, for the little maids
he adored and racier ruder speech for
more stalwart masculine ears. It Is
a legend that he was vastly proud of his
famous crop of white hair and used to
spend the pains of a court lady In getting lt to just the proper stand of artistic shape.
Died of Broken Heart.
Last summer the walks began to
falter, last fall they ceased for good.
The death of H. Hf Rogers, a close
friend was a severe blow. The death
of his daughter Jean, who was seized
with an attack of epilepsy while In her
hath was an added blow from which
he never recovered. It was then that
the stabbing pains in the heart began. Mark Twain died as truly as it
can be said of any man of a broken
heart. .
Mark Twain was bora in 1835. At
13 he became a printer. He was for a
short time a pilot on the Mississippi
and afterwards a reporter In California
and editor of a newspaper In Buffalo.
With Bret Hart he wrote for the Call*
fornian.' He travelled a great deal and
lately spent much time in England. He
was created D. Lltt of Oxford University. Some of his publications are
the Jumping Frog, The Innocents
Abroad, Adventures of Tom Sawyer, A
Tramp Abroad, The Prince and the
Pauper, Life on the Mississippi, The

—Decision Accepted
BERLIN, April 21—The lockout in
the building trades in Berlin will ln
aU probability (be settled in consequence
of a decision by the trades arbitration
court granting tne men a small increase
in wages beginning Aug. 18 with a further increase on Oct. 1, The representatives on both sides have accepted this
decision and -the court's terms are now
in the hands o the masters and tbe
men's unions who will probably accept
them. In the meantime many contractors In various parts of tbe empire express a wish to discontinue the lockout
and the action taken ln Berlin will
strongly influence the movement. The
arbitrators consider the demand of the
workers for an increase fully justified,
owing to the Increased cost of living.

CALGARY, April 21.—James W.
DavldBon, president of the Crown Lumber Co., Ltd., of Calgary, when Interviewed regarding the lumber situation
made the following statement:    .
"There is every prospect of rather
serious shortage in lumber during the
next two months. The demand during
the past six months has been so much
larger than was anticipated tbat lt
has left the mills with badly broken
stocks and some of the mills, especially at the coast, have been refusing orders for prompt shipment.' The early
opening of spring has destroyed the
ico roads in the Saskatchewan spruce
districts, Interfering with logging, and
it is reported that this will decrease
the output of Saskatchewan, mills at
least 25 per cent.
Depend on British Columbia.
"This will throw extra business onto
British Columbia mills and add to tbe
difficulty In supplying the demand.
Prices have been rapidly stiffening
during the past four months and the
present wholesale market is from $3
to 95 higher than a year ago. Small
stocks have been bought up, thus
throwing practically all business Into
tbe hands of the large mills. Higher
prices are predicted. In anticipation
of very large autumn trade all mills
have been logging very extensively and
with new mills and increased facilities, the total output of Western Can*
ada will this year be tbe largest in tbe
history of the lumber industry. This
year's, lumber will not. bei generally
ready for shipment until the end of
July and prospects are that the demand
will exceed, even this large supply.

Cartwrlght, senior member of the Creston
Lumber company, whose mill was burnt,
swore that the accused told him various
stories about the flre, on one occasion
stating that the millwright, Keenan, had
set the place on Ure, and he, Cartwrlght,
swore that he confidently believed that
the night watchman, Robinson, had made
this statement to protect himself. The
case against Robinson was adjourned till
8 o'clock this evening. -

AGREEMENT
Sale of Bonds of Great
Waterways Railway
Commission to President
Not Disclosed
Will Take Evidence in Winnipeg
EDMONTON, April 21—If \V. R.
Clarke, president of the Alberta and
Great Waterways railway got any
compensation, or commission ln connection with the sale of the bonds of
his railway company, lt was not revealed by the copy of the agrement
between himself and J. B. Morgan and
Co. In London, which was produced in
court this .morning, and by which agreement, the bonds were to be sold direct
from Clarke to Morgan and Morgan
was to pay par, Canadian terms, for
the bonds. This was the chief clause
in the agreement and nothing was said
about any commission for Clarke. Morgan was to be at liberty at any time
to place the bonds for sale on the market. The agreement was produced during the examination of S. F. Woods, ex-
deputy attorney general who said
Clarke had shown him the original of
the agreement In a hotel in Edmonton.
The Royal commission oh tiie Great
Waterways investigation will sit next
Tuesday -morning in the grain exchange
board room at Winnipeg, when it is
expected that the evidence of Minty
and Clarke will be taken. Clarke was
in St. Paul when last heard of but it
is understood tbat he has agreed to
give evidence In Winnipeg.
Corrects Statement.
Jim McKinnon made a statement this
morning to tlie. effect that Dr, Waddell
had not personaly used the words to
him that he would tear, up the'.new'
contract Clarke had made with the
government. McKinnon said some one
of the officials used these words but
not Dr. Waddell.
Ex-deputy Attorney General S. 6.
Woods was on the stand this morning
and told of his negotiations with Mtnty
the solicitor of the railway regarding ,
the drawing up of a mortgage on which :
the guarantee was to 'he given. This
occupied a week. He had had a number of discussions with Clarke about
the project. He knew that Clarke was
asking for a guarantee of $24,000, that
tho government were dickering with
him over the amount. He had had a
discussion with Cross regarding the
amount of the interest. It was his
view that the bonds should be five per
cent, in order that they might be floated more eaMly for a road into the
north. On the 13th November, Woods
said he held a meeting in the office
of the deputy minister of public works
at which Stocks, deputy minister, Chalmers, government engineer, Minty
Clarke, Waddell and Bowen were present at which they discussed specifications. Next day he met the cabinet
to explain the mortgage to them." He
had the Impression at this meeting that
the amount of guarantee had been already settled. At the meeting they
discussed the question as to how the
$20,000 was to be paid, whether at
the completion of every 10 miles ov on
engineer's certificates.
Cushlng Was Present.
He remembered that Ex-minister
Cushing was at thut meeting. He did
not think that this was the same meeting to which Dr. Waddell referred, and
at which the details had been settled,
he had the impression that it was
some time after that meeting. Woods
said he had drafted the letter which the
premier wrote to Clarke promising to
promote the legislation to guarantee
the road from a similar letter in connection with the guarantee of the Canadian Northern bonds. Woods Bsid he
had shown this letter to Ex-minister
Cushlng before it was signed.
The Missing Letter.
■ Another feature of this morning's
session was the production of a copy
of the letter from Minty to Woods
which Woods had removed from the department files and destroyed because
he claimed it was personal. The letter
proved to refer particularly to tiie
Great Waterways deal. It mapped out
a plan of campaign for Rutherford's trip
east telling Woods that he should make
out the necessary orders in council
and give to them to Rutherford unsigned to bring east with him that he
might sign them after the organization
of the company at Winnipeg.
Made Out Orders.
Woods did make out the orders tn
council as requested but they were not
finally passed untitl October 7. This
was In September. A telegram was
produced from Minty to Woods asking
the repeal of the clause which prevented officials of the company from having en Interest ln any construction.
Woods said he knew that a construction
company was to he formed but did not
know that lt waa to take over the bonds
and stock of the railway company. He
presumed that Clarke was to be Interested In It.
No Reason.
In the Great Waterways Investigation this afternoon, Woods could give
no explanation as to why he removed
Mlnty's letter from the department files
and burned It, save that lt was in his
estimation a personal letter and he
still considered It bo.
"Do you consider tbat a document,
laying out the whole plan by which the
province was to pledge Itself to $7,400.-
000 was a personal document? asked
Bennett. Woods said he did, that he
removed it to protect Minty and he understood that Minty had no idea it
would get on the department files and
tbat if the officials knew the letter
would be made public, Minty- would
have been fired.
The Turn of the Wheel.
Bennett has wasted no opportunity
to score Woods on the circumstance of
missing documents. It was two years
ago in the trial ot the timber com*
bine case that Woods so deeply scored
Bennett's clients on the very same
matter and when Bennett was alleged
to have said he would get even with
Woods, Bennett, during his examination
of Woods today' has referred more than
once to this incident.
Cross Was There.
Woods told this afternoon of the fast
trip to St. Paul and New York to place
the bonds ln the hands of Morgan and
company. He had considered the only
way to do was to take the bonds personally to New York as he could
not give them to Minty, to
take. He took M. J, McLeod, deputy
provincial treasurer with him. They
went to Calgary with Clarke from
where he then went to St. Paul in a
special train. They left Edmonton on
October 28 and had to reach New
York by November 1. He went on the
special with Clarke, James and Goddard lo St. Paul and caught the Pioneer
Limited cast. They reached New
York on the morning of the first and
delivered the bonds to Morgan in the
afternoon, one of the firm told Woods
that they expected to make much
more than par when they sold them.
In New fork, Woods met Cross and
Cornwall.     Then they went to Mont*

MULGA MINE IS
JT[LL SEALED
Two   Score   Miners   Still   Entombed—
Feared That All Are Dead—Tremendous Explosion
BIRMINGHAM; Ala., April 21—The
Mulga mine was still sealed up today
for tear of fire. Between 35 and 40
men, all except 15 of them colored, are

most of them are dead.
Every Window Broken
The cages in the shaft were so badly
sprung by the force of th© explosion
that they are useless and all other
means adopted by the rescue party in
an euort to reach the entombed men
have proven futile, Following the explosion flames shot up the shaft of the
mine for a distance of about 400 feet
and the ground is covered with charred
timbers blown up from the bottom of a
360 foot Bhaft by the explosion. Every
window in the village was broken. After the explosion timbers were placed

The board of directors of the Nelson
Agricultural & Industrial association is
In correspondence with the management
of the Spokane exhibition. In regard to
booking for Nelson some of the feature
attractions that will he booked for the
Spokane fair. Longer engagements are
always a consideration with the best
class of attractions and are a material
factor In inducing them to book for
western circuits. The correspondence
from both sides is favorable to this Joint
booking and undoubtedly it -will be carried out. The dates ofi the Nelson fair
are Sept. 28, 29, and 30, following closely those of Spokane.

About $2000 Is available for securing
attractions for the Nelson fair. It Is
probable that an airship may be one
of the attractions secured.
. Mr. Waggoner, chairman of the excursion committee of the Spokane
chamber of commerce, has written to
George Horstead, secretary of the Nelson fair board, asking lull Information
about the coming fair and especially
as to the opportunity for bringing a
great excursion up from Spokane on
one of the days of the fair.
The local Foresters are taking up the
project of having a Foresters' day during the fair. If the arrangements are
carried through It Is thought 1000 Foresters from outside points would attend
the fair on that day.
The next regular meeting of the fair
board is due on April 26, but if the committees should not be ready -with their
draft prize list a postponement Is possible.

done which might prevent Canada from
deUUng openly and (freely iwflth the
mother country. Mr. Balfour's scheme
of untaxed empire wheat would have a
good effect on the whole empire.

AT TORONTO AND MONTREAL
LONDON. April 21—Chas. M. Hays,
president of the Grand Trunk railway
at the annual banquet of the board
of trade tonight said that great construction works must be accomplished
at Toronto and Montreal.
"We have confronting ub," said Mr.
Hays, "expenditures reaching into tbe
millions, at both places, probably the
Toronto works will be commenced this
year. We may get an order to commence at Montreal at any time. When
we do commence It will be quite a big
undertaking and these two big works
stand ahead of claims coming from
other directions."
Of extension work ln the west Mr.
Hays said much, "When I go out in
July or August," he remarked, "I expect to go from Prince Rupert to Copper river by rail."

THE NEW STRIKE
AT ROSSLAND
Extraordinarily    High Values of    War
Eagle Shipments for Months Past
—Le Roi  No. 2 Has Hopes.
The   Canadian Mining Journal   says:
"A second strike lias been made In the
Wat* Eagle mine at Ilossland, B.C., now
tlie property ot the Canadian Consolidated
company. Like the last, It Is an entirely
new ore body, hundreds of feet north of
the War Eagle vein proper, and like it,
too, is exceedingly rich.
"The first big strike was made about
a year ago ln a crosscut EW0 feet to the
north from the Uth level, 1650 feet from
tlie collar to the shaft. The ore shoot then
found lias been tapped on both the ninth
and tenth levels, and has been found so
-far to have a lic-Jg'ht of 375 feet, a length
of 4W, and a width approximating 50. Aside
from its size, Its most notable feature Ib
the high grade of ore It contains, shipments for month.", past having averaged
110 per ton In gold, and about 4 per cent
copper, much higher values than were ever
obtained for a similar tonnage from either
the Le Hui or War Eagle mine during the
days of bonanza production."
Le Rol No. 2.
Apropos of this, A, J. McMillan, managing director, and A. J. Larson, superintendent of the Le Hoi, stayed over at
Spokane, on their way home from the
coast, and while there the former, speaking of the work in progress at. the mine,
said: "We are diamond drilling from the
MW-foot levels, and have already put a
number of holes down to a depth of 22M)
feet. Our plana call for a systematic exploration of our ground in this manner,
and we are hopeful of being Just as successful In locating new pay shoots as ouf
neighbors, the War Eagle, have been."

ORDER HATS OFF
London    Magistrate    Decides    Against
Women   Who Were  Ejected  Because They Kept Big Hats on.
The hope that a case which was heard
In Bow street police court last Friday
would settle the vexed question of the
right uf women to keep on their large
huts In theatres were realized.
In the Prince of Wales theutre on April
fi, Mrs. Bardley, a magazine writer, and
a friend, who occupied box stalls, were
ejected because of the gigantic hats they
wore. A man sitting behind them asked
the two women to doff "those ridiculous
hats." Tiie women refused, on the ground
that the request was made offensively.
The man culled upon Frank Curaon, the
manager of the theatre, and he appealed
to the women to take off their hats. They
refused.
After the first act Mr. Curzon Invited
the two women to uome out Into the corridor and discuss the matter. They did
so, but still refused to remove the hats,
whereupon Mr. Curzon told them they
could not re-enter the theatre, and escorted them to the street, despite thir
indignant protests,
Mrs. Bardley summoned Mr. Curzon to
court on a charge of assault, alleging that
in escorting her out of the theatre he
pushed her backwards,
The magistrate decided that Mr. Curzon
had acted in an admirable manner, and
dismissed  Mia  casfl.
The real facts have not been printed,
but it is learned that the whole affair was
engineered by an enterprising firm of
milliners, who sent the women to tho
matinee with two of the latest creations
in big bonnets. They were very late ln
hiring a man to raise the protest.

TRINITY COLLEGE
WILL BE MOVED
It It. Understood. That the New Buildings  Will  be Erected  Near
Bloor and  Devonshire.
Representatives3 ot the hoard of
governors, the senate and the federated colleges of the University of Toronto Interviewed the -members of the government, says the Toronto Mall, for the
purpose of receiving government sanction for the removal of Trinity college
from its present site to a location
nearer Toronto university. Those who
formed the -delegation were Chief Justice Sir Charles Moss, Chief Justice Sir
William Meredith, President Falconer,
Mr. Byron E. Walker, Rev. Provost
Macklem,. E. B. Osier, M» P.,. and J. A,
Worrell, K. C.
"We are trying to strengthen the
university," said Provost Macklem-
when asked as to the mission of the
delegation. ...
There was presented to the government a resolution passed by the
university senate and hoard of governors, in which it was stated that
it would he advisable to have Trinity
In closer proximity to University college. It was pointed out that Trinity
is a long way from the university
buildings, and that the students and
professoriate found It inconvenient to
travel such a distance for the purpose
of taking and delivering lectures. When
the universities were federated a piece
of land was reserved for the uBe of
Trinity,, if ever it was decided to build
a new college, and this will now be
utilized. This land Is in the vicinity
of Bloor and Devonshire streets. The
present Varsity Athletic field may be
used, and the field moved a little farther north, so as to face on Bloor
street.
A suggestion has been made that
McMaster university be purchased by
Trinity, as McMaster shortly will be
moved to a more commodious site, but
McMaster building would not be large
enough for Trinity.
While Sir James gave no definite
answer to the delegation, It is understood he did not offer any serious objections, and left the matter In the
hands 'of the governors and the senate.
Tbe questions of a change in the
system of payment of succession dues
to the university and the appointment
of several members of the Alumni
association to the board of governors
were not discussed at yesterday's con*
ference, but will be later.

PREMIEK ASQUIltl
AND MIT. BALFOUR
Personalities Contrasted by "An  Englishman" In the London Dally
Mall, Unionist.
The following article by an Englishman
Is published in the Lolndon Dally Mall:
Air. Asquith Js what In the seventeenth
century was called a mere politician, lie
pieachcs no gospel, he advocates no principles. -His tnou.#t Is all linked up with
the movements ut tiie "Machine." His
profoundest study is to discover by what
meuns he may conciliate this group, by
what offer he may secure the surrender of
that. His only guide Is opportunism. His
only test of action is the success- of the
moment. Powerless to carry into effect
his own designs, tf indeed he harbor any,
he has consented tamely to become the
advocate now of the Irishmen, now of tlie
Labor party. When he ls asked his Intentions he ls compelled to wrap his answer up In words of prevarication, because he knows no more of the future than
his Interrogator.
His  Mind  Not  Made  Up.
On no point of policy has he made up
his mind. He Is prepared to sacriilce the
it nance bill or to abolish the house of
lords, If it be worth his while. His opinions vary with the opinions of the last
emissary who approached him. The Labor
party tills him with enthusiasm for that
strange specimen, whose Interest today is
purely urchaeol^lcul, the People's Budget.
The mere sight of un Irishman convinces
him that the budget Is naught, and that
"the will of the people must prevail within the limits of a single parliament." in
brief, he can control neither hts cabinet
nor the house of commons. One thing only is certain, he lias not a "homogeneous
majority," as he confessed at Oxford, and
it is not surprising that he is heartily
sorry for  It.     »
'Mr. Balfour the Statesman.
Such Is one picture. Now look upon the
other, Mr. Balfour has never mistaken
politics for statesmanship. His clear vision
Has always looked through the means tu
tliu end. He does not believe that the
ultimate object of a minister is to capture
the "Machine." He Is as remote from
the underworld of politics as was WlUlam
Pitt. It ls upon his country unci Us
grandeur that his thoughts are centred.
He will abate no jot of principle, he will
extinguish no spark of enthusiasm, iu
order to win a momentary advantage.
While Mr. Asqulth Is ready to borrow his
opinions ready-made from- one satellite or
another, Mr. Balfour builds his own
opinions upon the rocks of reason and experience, and asks his friends to support
them, ln other words, it Is his purpose to
lead, not to follow, and he comes before
the country with the authority of a master,
not with the complaisance of a servant.
No Desire for Power.,
His gifts are the gifts of a statesman—
a clear judgment, an Indexible will, a lofty
purpose. He has no desire tor power fur
Its own soke, But he sees that his country is ln danger, and he believes, with the
confident patriotism of Chatham, that he
alone can save it. His policy is simple
and constructive. A spirited measure of
turlff reform shall restore the self-respect
of Kngllsmen, who too long have lived
upon the -corn and oil of others, and do a
vast deal to mitigate the worst suffering
of all—the suffering of unemployment.
Once more, under a change of Usual policy,
■England shall insist upon turning her
pasturage back into corn land, and resume
that without which no countr*.* can be
great or prosperous—the tillage of tha
soil. A system of ownership shall guard
the small farmers against the heartless
exaction OC county councils, bodies of
their verv na>ture obdurate and economic,
and do more than any other project to re-
people the depicted countryside.
For a Second Chamber.
And, with tho accomplishment of this
necessary reform, the Constitution must
he defended against the attacks of those
wltose single- aspiration* is wreckage. A
second chamber, strengthened by reform,
must he empuwered to chet-k the over-
hasty Impulse of the commons and claim
tne sympathy and respect of our oversea dominions. Nor must the house of
commons escape the reform of which It
stands In bitterer need than t'ne second
chamber. It It is to be a democratic assembly worthy of tho name, it must represent, not a series of accidents but an Intelligent electorate. Tliere must he closet
relations between the number of voters
and their representation. The influence of
Ireland in the national council must be
reduced to a fair and honest proportion,
so that If the people's will does prevail,
there may be a general confidence that it
is the people's will and nut the pull of
Interested win* pullers.
The  Problem of Social  Reform.
There remains the problem of social re-
foim, which Mr, Balfour alone has the
force and foresight to solve. The existing
Poor law must be replaced by something
which will smooth the Inequalities of life
and give each man a fair chance, according to his will iind strength. Truly a vast
work to accomplish, und one which will
demand the best qualities uf heart and
head. Where will the state look for salvation If not to Mr. Balfour? His position
In the house of commons is unique. Nothing more remarkable in our political history than the swift mastery which he obtained over it In 1906, in the face of a large
and hostile majority. That mastery he
retains, and he retains It by the simple
method of trust. His bitterest enemies
know that he has nothing to gain or to
lose. His sincerity is transparent. He is
detached from all pernicious interests,
from all base Influences. Not even does
he depend upon the dangerous elements
of eloquence. He never stoops to rhetoric
that he may conquer a foolishly emotional
audience. The perilous tricks of the Iberian are not his. His speeches are masterpieces of close and reasonable argument.
He pays his audience t'he compliment of
believing that they prefer honest statesmanship to the "tactics" of Mr. Asqulth,
clear thought to the reckless rant of Mr;
Lloyd George.
A Bogey.
The Radical papers, unable to oppoBe
Mr. Balfour ln argument, have Invented a
bogy which has no existence save In their
sanguine fancy.. They picture him as
lackadaisical, as Indifferent, as everything
which they know he is not. Their deception is apparent to all, to none so
clearly as to themselves. Ireland knows
and has felt his strength. There is no
Radical politician who has not quailed before his mordant Batire. If the glove Is
velvet, truly the hand within It Is of steel.
No one of his followers doubts his strength
or IiIh courage. To the broken mob of
dlssentlons which stands behind Mr. Asqulth Is opposed a solid phalanx of<*men
who respect their leader, who revere his
opinions, who will fight for his governance.
In a few weeks the battle will be engaged,
and we may look forward with confidence
to the result.

SHEEP CREEK
SHOWS PROMISE,
Claimed by Some to be One of Rich
est Mining Districts In Province
—Transpotratlon Facilities.
The Vancouver World publishes the following interview with A,   H.  Gracey;
From an account of the mining activity
at Sheep Creek, the extent and success of
tlie developments that liave been already
carried out, and the large shipments of
gold, It is safe to assert that this district
lias an exceedingly bright future. Though
practically still iu its Infancy, the Sheep
Creek camp has already proved its vast
stores of wealth, nearly 11,000,00(1 worth of
gold having been recovered up to the
present from the recesses of Mother Earth.
A. H. Gracey of Nelson, in an interview
with the World at the Vancouver hotel,
gave some interesting information regarding the development of what is said to be
tlie richest gold mining district In British
Columbia. He mentioned that the nearest
town to Sheep Creek camp was Salmo,
about 20 miles from Nelson, reached on the
G.NYR. -branch to Spokane. From Salmo
a wagon road has to be traversed for 10
mites before the camp is reached.
Of the various claims now being extensively developed, the Queen Is the old-
out, having been operated In a quiet way
for between eight and nine years. It was
not until two years ago that the development work was carried on in anything
like an extensive manner, although' the
property was worked privately with great
success previously.
What was taken up two years ago as
a prospect has now proved itself to he
an exceedinly valuable property in the
case of the Nugget mine. Since development commenced, 7,250 tons of extra high
high grade ore have been taken out, a
gross amount of 1200,000 being realized.
The precious metal has been discovered
"2.B00 feet underneath the ground at some
places on the Nugget. Mr. Gracey went
on to say, and the claim has been developed to a depth of 450 feet.
Mother Lode Group, 6
The adjoining group of claims, between
tlie Nugget and the Queen, Is known as
the Mother Lode group, and Mr. Gracey
states that a considerable amount of gold
has been shipped by the parties who were
leasing the claims. Some of the gold from
this mine has usHayed as high as $145 per
ton. The property was purchased about
a year ago by J. McMartin, who has been
connected with the famous La Hose mine
at Cobalt.
"East of the Queen." the speaker continued, "Is the Kootenay Bell, from which
large shipments have been made, and then
there U the Columbian and the Clyde Belt.
Promising veins have been opened up on
both of these properties. On the Golden
Bell, which is operated by the Sheep Creek
Amalgamated Mining company, of Vancouver, active development Is to be prosecuted tills season, and a Assure which
has been located on the Bonanza has been
tapped at two points 1,200 feet apart.
"Considerable ore has been milled from
the Ore Hill claims, which have been
bonded by a Vancouver syndicate. Recent
shipments of ore have averaged as high
as **>2ii0, und there is ore now in transit
which Is equally as rich.
"The Searchlight and Golden Fawn are
the names of other rich mines ln the same
camp. Of the former some very encouraging veins have been encountered and a
very good average value has been obtained. Extensions from the rich veins which
have made a name for the Nugget mines
have been located on the Searchlight, and
therefore great things are hoped from this
property. The Vancouver group, which
Is being developed by a Nelson syndicate,
Ih stated to have showings of ore averaging around $08 per ton.
"At present," Mr. Gracey continued,
ore is exposed of an average grade throughout the camp of from (20 to (25 per ton,
and the veins vary from 2 to 10 feet in
width. Shutes of ore on the Nugget,
Queen and Mother Lorle claims—these are
the properties which have been principally
developed—run from 4 to 16 feet wide, with
an average sloping width of from five to
eight feet," *

MINE Of WEALTH
TO THE PROVINCE
What Fish and Game of Kotoenay Are
Worth to People
An article in the Toronto News Bays:
The public are .becoming fully alive to
the importance of adopting stricter
measures for conserving our natural
resources for lt is feared that otherwise
what would become a perennial source
of wealth to the province will eventually perish by neglect and wasteful
usage. Not to dwell here upon the rich
Inheritance we have In tile woods of
our forests, in the commercial fish of
our great lakes, ln the latent powers
in our many rivers, etc., there are certain other sources of wealth, the value
of which few people have any Idea, inasmuch as tbe the economic Importance
of these to the province has not been
brought to the attention of the general
public. For instance there are the
thousands of our beautiful lakes and
rivers, with their salubrious and invigorating air, all originally teeming with
game fish and tbe woods with other
game,
Worth More Than Cobalt Mines
Leaving out of consideration altogether, the opportunities these afford
to our town people for recreation and
sport, these lakes and rivers constitute
what should, -become a perennial source
of wealth to tbe country, little dreamt
of by unthinking persons Ignorant of
what we possess in this respect, it can
he conclusively shown by the experience of other countries tbat there is a
mine of wealth here for the -people exceeding in importance even tbe silver
mines of Cobalt, if the conditions we
own are properly utilized and administered ln order to attract foreign tourist
and pleasure seekers to our midst, who
would naturally leave (with us large
sumB of money and that, too, spent
chiefly in districts where lt is most
needed. It Ib not the value of the fish
and game ln themselves, which ls comparatively trifling; It is what tbey will
bring to us. We know of millions that
are spent annually ln the very limited
area of- the north of Scotland and also
of late years in little Norway, attracted
thither by similar conditions.
Supports 500,000 People In Maine
In the state of Maine in 1970 lt was
officially estimated that in that one
year alone there were nearly half a
million people, men, women and children, drawn to that state by similar at*
tractions to what we possess; in fact
they constitute one of the most valuable assets which Maine has. Now
when we rememlher that Ontario Is
over'five times the size of Maine and
contains elements for health and recreation far exceeding that state, and
moreover is more convenient of access
for tbe rich millions to the south of us,
we can then realize that the attraction
of our country when fully discovered
by them will constitute Ontario a very
Mecca for summer visitors. These, tourists are now coming in increasing numbers every season and wherever accommodation is (furnished on any of our
smaller lakes, especially where fishing
Is to be had, the hotels and boarding
houses are speedily filled and money is
spent in many ways even in the remotest parts. People living in the front
have little or no idea of the vast number of these lakes in the 'hack country,
throughout the Laurentian and Huron-
ian formation. There are not hundreds
of these merely, but thousands of all
sizes, from five to 60 square miles
in extent, lovely in their wild beauty
and nearly all originally teeming with
game fish and the woods with other
game. The railway companies are alive
to the value of these but (where the
railways gain one dollar from the tourists the public will gain from ten to
fifty or more,

for demanding treatment as equals and
allies, the situation Is very difficult.
The Orientals are coming to England
in connection with the Anglo-Japanese
exhibition to be held in London during
the summer. The worst of it is that,
although already very numerous, their
representation wilt be enormously larger ae the season progresses. Altogether it is expected that several bun-
dredBthousand will visit the country before the exhibition is over, and when
they begin literally to swarm in the
streets there are prospects of friction,
which may result in some "unpleasant
diplomatic Incidents."
Unlike the Chinese, -whose govern*
ment decreed recently that "no diplomat, naval or army commissioner or
diplomatic deputy shall be allowed to
contract marriage with a foreign wife/'
the Japanese, claiming equality in
everything wltu the west, Incline
strongly to matrimonial alliances outside their own country. The result is
that the newspapers have been flooded
of late with letters or warning from
Britons who have traveled ln the east
against tbe dangers to which white
women expose themselves by wedding
Orientals. The sight of a Japanese ln
company with an English woman on the
streets bas several times nearly pro*
voked a riot ln London, and In hotels
and restaurants such couples' are in
constant danger of insult.
LIFE  PRISONERS  MAKE
DASH  FOR FREEDOM
LEAVENWORTH, Kas., AprU 21.—
Five train robbers, serving life sentences, escaped from the federal prison
near here early today. Within a short
time two of the men were re-captured.
At 11 o'clock the three others were surrounded in the brush within a short
distance of the prison and lt ls believed
all would be taken.
As soon aa the escape of the men
became known, the siren whistle at
the prison was .sounded as a warning
to farmers in the surrounding country
to be on the look out This whistle
can he beard many miles. At the
same time guards were thrown around
the prison to prevent other escapes.
The first report indicated that five life
men got away, had forcibly taken possession of a twitch engine* whloh bad
been ran tato Ibe prison yards and
pulled out at high speed. Once ont of
the yard the convicts deserted the engine and made a dash for the woods.

The Ingredients Used In
Medicinal and Toilet Preparations are of the same high quality as those
your druggist uses in filling your physician's prescriptions.
We Could Not Afford
The National Drug and Chemical
Company supplies the greater part of
the drugs dispensed by the physicians
and druggists of Canada, and it is
probable that the ingredients used by
your own druggist in his prescription
work came from our warehouses.
From these same warehouses come
the ingredients used by our expert
chemists in compounding NA-DRU-CO preparations.
Erery ounce of material used in every NA-DRU-CO
article is the best that our skilled buyers can select
from the world's markets.
We Can Afford
to use only the very best materials because, buying
. in immense quantities for our wholesale trade, we get
the best crude drugs at rock bottom prices. In our
chemical laboratories these raw materials are refined
and prepared by expert chemists and subjected to
rigid tests both for strength and purity before being
used in NA-DRU-CO preparations.
NA-DRU-CO Cod liver OU Compound, for
Instance, is made from the best of materials, by our
expert chemists, and is consequently the most -perfect
tonic, NA-DRU-CO Nenrosone is another striking
example of the results our skilled chemists get from
good ingredients.

ALWA-ra LOO* n* THIB TUMI HARK
to use any but the finest and purest
materials in each and every
NA-DRU-CO preparation, because on
the quality of each depends the future
of the whole line. Linked together as
they are by the NA-DRU-CO Trade
Mark, a single article found unreliable
would go far to destroy your confidence in all
NA-DRU-CO goods.
Ask your druggist about the quality of fhe drugs
we supply to htm—about our facilities for compounding superior medicinal and toilet preparations—about
our reliability.
Go a little further if you like, and ask your phy-.
aician or your druggist what goes into NA-DRU-CO
preparations. They can tell you, for we will furnish
to any physician or druggist in Canada, on request, a
full list of the ingredients in any NA-DRU-CO
preparation.
"Money Back"
Furthermore, if any NA-DRU-CO article you buy
does not entirely satisfy you, return it and   your
druggist will refund your if oney.
If your druggist has not the NA-DRU-CO article
you want in stock he (tan get it for you within two

Wants Faet Fighting
BEN LOMOND, April 20—Jim Jeffries In his training bouts Is showing
little inclination to box. He would
rather rough it. Following his three,
rounds with Boib Armstrong yesterday
Jeffries remarked that he preferred
eight rounds of fast fighting to ten
rounds of sparring. This penchant of
the big fighter for heavy work brings
up the Question, where are to be found
the opponents husky enough to face
Jeff? It Is easy to see that Armstrong
entertains no such preference for real
fighting as Jeflfries voiced, at least
not In the ring with his present huge
adversary.'
Johnson Busy Man
CHICAGO,  April  21—Jaofc  Johnson
waa a busy man today preparing for
his departure for the Pacific coast,
where he will settle down for the two !
months of hard training before his
fight with Jim Jeffries. He is due to
arrive in San Francisco about May 1
as he will stop on the way at Salt Lake,
and Los Angeles for exhibitions. There
will be nine in Johnson's party. His
famous automobile is already on the
way as he says he could not train without It
Better Partners .
He 'believes his sparring partners will
be of greater use to him than those of
Jeffries will be to the former champion.
"In Jeffries' party will be a number of
men who will be unable to stand the
beating which Jeffries will give them
and consequently Jeff will not get the
proper kind of benefit," Johnson said.
"With the exception of Gotch, Jeff will
not have a man in his camp who will
do him a 'bit of good In a practical **ay.
Choynlski and Coifbett can tell him
what he should do hut they are not in
any condition to put on the gloves with
him and exchange wallops. In my camp
I will have a lot of husky young fellows
who will not be afraid to exchange
blows with me and I can receive a lot
of benefit. All of my training partners
will weigh about 190 pounds and they
are young strong fellows. I Intend to
fight Jeffries from the tap of the hell.
I don't mean I will wade into him and
be careless but I shall not be afraid
to mix matters. I realize I have a lot
at stake and I know there twill ibe thousands of dollars bet on my chances and
I want U> assure the people who back
me ln this fight that I will put forth
the very best effort I possess to win. I
only hope that nothing unforeseen will
occur to prevent the fight and I am

BOXING  IN GERMANY.
Boxing Is practically a forbidden
sport in Germany! It is looked upon
a* brutal and repulsive, and all efforts
to introduce a systematic study of the
"noble art of self-defence" in this coun*
try have, owing to tbe unfavorable attitude of the press and ithe police, end*
ed in failure. One of the reasons for
the .strenuous opposition of the police
is because there it is a serious offence
to strike a man with one's fist, no
matter what ithe grievance may be.
Hence the citizens of the great towns,
though prone to Indulge in wordy contests accompanied by a tremendous exhibition of excitement and indignation,
rarely come to blows and the police
believe that If a general knowledge of
boxing become general throughout the
Fatherland there would be a great
many more arrests for brawling, and
incidentally, it might lead the members
of the Socialist street demonstrations
to adopt a more aggressive attitude to*
wards the police,, instead of their present attitude of almost lamb-like submission to the stalwart, spike-helmeted
and sword begiidled officers of the law.
Berlin Championships.
Recently the first meeting took place
for the amateur championships of Berlin in feather, light, middle, and heavyweights, It was decided on a Sunday
evening, and presented many features
of distinct interest.
In the first place, owing to police in- I
structions the rules issued to all the I
combatants contained a notice that they
were not to hit too hard, and that any
one who did so would be disqualified.
Representatives of the law were present to see that these instructions were
carried out.
A stage had been erected at one end
of a large hall, and the audience down
below sat around drinking beer and
other liquors. During the first round
of the. lightweights two competitors
mixed it up with the result that a small
quantity of blood appeared, on the
nose of one of the boxers.
Distressed the Ladles.
The ladies, of whom there were many
ln the audience, seemed rather moved,
and when the bout was over, tbe promoter came forward on the stage, and,
addressing the audience said that they
must not mind If a small amount of
blood was seen as It meant nothing, did
not hurt, and, In fact, the competitors
far from disliking It, rather enjoyed the
novel sensation.
Below the platform and ln front of
the audience, was a band. During the
intervals the band was always silent,
but immediately a round commenced
the band began to play some martial
or playful piece, and many of the combatants who probably were more at
home in a ballroom than in the ring,
introduced Into their leg work a dancing movement which though ellghtly
comical to the eyes of a sportsman,
filled the audience with glee, and one
boxer In particular who not only took
his leg work, but also his hitting cues
from the band brought the house down
with applause.
One lightweight who hit his opon-
ent on the nose with such force that
the latter sat on the floor was promptly warned that the next time such a
thing happened he would be ruled out.
Th© man who sat on the floor retired.
Another boxer, apparently a favorite,
stopped in the middle of a round to
wave his glove at the audience, who
were distracting him by cheering too
much.
The Heather on Flre.
The movement for the saving ot la-
ci'osse has, so to speak, set the heather
on fire on hundreds of playgrounds
throughout Eastern Canada, and everywhere the school boys are joining the
ranks of the rescuers of the national
summer sport.
Besides helping lacrosse the movement will have a strong tendency to
help on another good cause. Sticks
and boys are not enough. If lacrosse
Is to be played there must be grounds
on which to play It and this suggests
the playgrounds movement for securing places where, during the summer,
boys who are not fortunate enough to
reach the country, can ' play their
games and enjoy their holidays. The
lacrosse movement and the playgrounds
movement should assist each other.
CIVIC  EMPLOYE  CHARGED

One Thousand In Rush to Camel's Lake
in Cobalt Region— Find i
Nothing
A dispatch from Cobalt to Toronto
says;
It is -an ill wind that blows nobody
good. It was only last week, arid it
seems but yesterday, when Jones and
Blackburn made the north dizzy with
the news of the fabulous finds and
their special train party went rushing
hvtx a tew miles over the T. & N. O.
railway to Bourk Siding, en route to
Camel's Back lake. Mr. Beiderman who
was seldom heard of -before this last
rush, but who suddenly came Into prominence as ibelng the only white resident In that section, being the possessor
of a squaw wife and some claims, will
now be In possession of enough good
provisions left there along the trail by
prospectors, tti do him for an age. The
prospectors have the experience.
Before quitting Mr. Beiderman, It may
be said the prospectors speak very respectful of him, claim tbat he has really
a quartz vein but that the heat assay
he ever got out of It was $10 In gold to
the ton; but of Jones and Blackburn the
prospectors do not speak so highly. To i
quote one of the last arrivals: "I consider it one of the crudest pieces of
deception* ever pulled off on the pilblic."
Looks Like a Real Fake
Summing up the whole situation, it
looks like a real fake. That the law
will take a hand 1s also evident Today
the southbound train leaving Seslklnaka
station carried nearly 200 prosipeotors
and amongst them was Mr. Blackburn,
who was roundly taunted by his companions. Talk of dipping him in trie
lake was heard on every hand, but no
harm came to him. He was unmolested
but he was said to have suddenly
jumped offl the train just south of
Englehart and was not seen afterwards.
At Halleybury the police searched
the train and it -was intimated that
Blackburn was wanted; that he will be
accused of perjury and securing money
under false pretences. This makes it
look rather serious for these men and
many -an indignant prospector is hoping they get their deserts. At Halley-
-bury the feeling Is so strong against the
men that they are liable to receive
rough treatment on arrival.
An Outcrop, Nothin More
The general impression amongst the
unfortunates who visited Camel's Back
•lake is that It is an outcrop in a muskeg, nothing more, plenty of mineralization minus the yellow metal that
was supposed to be there in abundance.
As evidence of the unfriendly feeling
o[ the prospectors, they made a grave
In the woods, rounded lt up nicely and
with their axes hewed out a cross which
was erected over the grave and some
of the sentimentally inclined wrote numerous odes and verses thereon, ex-.
pressing their feelings towards the supposed sluroberer. Needless to say the
verses will never appear ln print. One
of the party who was the proud possessor of a camera photographed the scene
with the mourners 'to the number of 30
standing, in the background with bared
heads and stern faces.
One Thousand Were Deluded
The number of prospectors 'believed
to have been ensnared is about 1000
and the actual loss occasioned is anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000, exclusive of time. That 'this mad rush has
not been attended by drownings is only
a miracle and it is believed about 200
men are still there and will not be out
for several days. Such an expedition
comes as a heavy hardship on many
prospectors who had to iborrow the
money to go with. Others have squandered their summer grub stake, or part
of it and can ill afford the loss at this
time, as the average prospector is by no
means flush this spring, sales being
none too plenty last fall and winter.
The outcome ot the police search will
be watched with considerable interest.
If these parties are caught it Is evident
that an example will be made of them.
WHY   MONARCHIES  EXIST,
Some time ago Mr. W. T. Stead was
asked by an editor of an American
magazine to write an article explaining why monarchies still existed in
Europe. He replied by writing an
article in which he tried to explain
what seemed to him a still greater
mystery, namely, why no monarchy had yet been established in the
New World. The editor refused to
print the article saying it would be too
much of a shock to his readers to
publish an article which set forth that
the monarchy was normal and the republic abnormal in political society. An
extract from this article was as follows:
1 realised, as I had never done before, the enormous advantage of having the national unity and our imperial
greatness embodied ln a person who ls
carefuly trained tor that position
from the cradle, and who, ln attaining
It. is not compelled to make intense
political enemies of one half of the
nation. To have created a centre of
equilibrium ln the midst of all forces
Which surge and sway hither and
thither in the turmoil and strain of
modern life, to have made tills central
point the advance of all honor and
the symbol of all < dominion, and to
have secured it at once from the
strife of tongues and the conflict of
parties without at the same time endangering the liberties of the subject or the supremacy of law—this
indeed I have learned to regard as one
of the most signal achievements of our
race.—"From Republicanism to Monarchy," p. 23.
The words "To have created a centre of equilibrium in the midst of all
the forces which surge and sway
hither and thither in the turmoil and
strain of modern life," is a peculiarly
apt way of expressing the true significance of the British monarchist principle. Mr. Stead has another excellent
way of describing the sovereign ln
certain studies that he made of the late
Queen Victoria.

CANADIANS FOR
IQRONTO'S SUBWAY
The   New   Underground   Electric   Railway—Other  Great   Works  Con*
structed by Canadians
Controller Church did a good turn
tor Canadian engineers in Toronto the
other day, The question of the engagement of an expert railway engineer to report upon the feasibility of
the proposed tube railway system wus
'being discussed by the board of control. Controller Church said the graduates of Toronto university, McGill and
Queens were second to none in tho
world. Many of the chief engineers of
the big railway companies were Canadians. The most Important engineering
projects on the continent, such as the
New York subway, the Hudson river
tunnel, the Sarnia tunnel and the
Pennsylvania tunnel, were planned by
and constructed under the supervision
of Canadian engineers who had graduated from Canadian universities.    He
strongly condemned the tendency of
Canadian municipalities whenever they
had an undertaking of more than ordinary magnitude to deal with, to rush
oK to the States for expert advice.
There was no comparison hetween. the
engineers of the States and those of
Canada. The Ill-Sated Quebec bridge
wag proof positive of this statement.
The bridge was being -built by United
States experts and it collapsed. The
bungling over that structure had to be
rectified by a Canadian, Principal Gal*
bralth oB the School of Practical Science, Toronto, restored order out of
chaos, and his report on the Qmebeo
bridge was acknowledged by leading
American scientific journals to have
been the greatest written treatise on
bridge work and strength ever compiled in the English language. Mr.
Church so absolutely convinced his colleagues that Canadian engineers were
capable of tackling any engineering
projecj, no matter hoiw dltticult, that
the board decided that a Canadian ex*
pert should be engaged to report on the
tube system for the city.

THE HEREDITARY PRINCIPLE.
Lord Halsbury is not enamored of
Lord Rosebery's proposals. In speaking against them he points out that
the hereditary principle Is applied to
other rulers than those of the house
of Lords. When a man dies, who owns
a'landed estate or a controlling share
in a business, his son succeeds to the
property and rules over it with a
power much exceeding -that ot an
"hereditary legislator."
Take, for Instance, ln the United
States the power over conditions
affecting thousands of people, or
rather millions, exercised by the hereditary Vanderbilt owners of railway
properties, or by the Aetors, or that
will be exercised by the heirs of James
■Hill or by the heirs of other men who
control great industrial and mining
properties. By building up these properties their present owners may have
shown their ability to administer them
—for their own benefit—but what
about their sons who will inherit ruling
powers greater than those of many a
monarch, duke or baron in the smaller
European kingdoms?
What about the hereditary principle
in these cases? Lord Halsbury's argument may tell ln favor of the house
of Lords with some of his hearers; lt
may tell against the application of the
hereditary principle In a wider way
with other hearers of a more revolutionary turn of mind.
But it has never heen the habit of
the English speaking peoples to follow
out -the practical application of any
argument to all the cases to which it
may logically be applied. It has 'been
said that the English speaking mind
works in watertight compartments,
and applies its reasons only to cases
which it desires to deal with at the
time. Most of those who deride the
idea that a man should bear rule solely because he its tbe son of his father
in the case of the house of Lords,
would be warm upholders of the Idea
that a man should bear rule solely because he is the son of his father in the
case of a railway or a great manufacturing industry.
Probably the reason given would be
that in tbe one case it was rule that
was inherited; and in the other, property. Rule, however, Is inherited in
both cases, the real difference is that
In the former it is considered practicable to substitute something else and in
the latter it is not.
8INGULAR  SITUATION  IN  GREAT
BRITAIN.
It becomes clearer every day that
not only the Unionists but also the
people of Ireland are opposed to important clauses in the budget
Also that not only the Unionists but
a large number of Liberals are opposed to Home Rule.
Thus, taking the United Kingdom
at a whole, a majority of the people
agrees with the Lords on the fiscal
policy, and a majority agrees with the
same house on the question of Home
Rule. If the policy of the government
were submitted to a referendum both
these measures would be turned down.
Yet because the Lords have opposed
these measures a majority of the house
of Commons and perhaps of the people are arrayed in alliance against
them.
The Laborites and the Liberals want
to reduce the second chamber to impotence because it stands in the way
of the budget. The Redmonites want
to reduce It to impotence because it
stands in the way of Home Rule.
So they join hands. The former will
-accept Home Rule which they dislike
for the Bake ot the budget; the latter
will accept the budget which many ot
them dislike for the sake of Home
Rule.
In the name of government by the
people the house of Lords is to be
prevented from placing obstacles in the
way of two policies, neither of which
is desired by a majority of the electors
of the United Kingdom as a whole.
All this illustrates a fact often overlooked that in estimating to give a
complete answer to the question,
"What is the will of the people;" it Is
necessary to consider not only how
many electors want a particular measure or are opposed to it but -also how
much they want it or how much they
are opposed to It.
Government by referendum or "direct
legislation" would take into consideration only the number of electors for
or against any proposal and would disregard the intensity of their feeling
either way.
That might be a good thing. Whether
it Is or Is not Is a question to be decided before adopting "direct legislation," as the ordinary instrument of
government. The value of the referendum as a safeguard is, of course, another story.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Mark Twain is dead. To millions of
readers his earlier works have given
many a cheerful laugh. Few men in
our generation have done as much for
the benefit of mankind.
It Is said that the government of
India will shortly be in the market
for silver. Available reserves are much
reduced and at the same time the prosperity of the country calls for additional -supplies of coinage.
In Great Britain the craze for shares
In rubber companies still continues.
It is estimated that the rubber trees
are capitalized at $1.60 each and that
at the present price of shares they
stand at $10 each. What will be the
effect upon the money market and upon markets dependent upon the money
market when the boom ends?

INDIAN DEPARTMENT
HAS NO INFORMATION
But Officials    Disbelieve   Story   That
Fort Chlppewan Indians
Are Starving.
OTTAWA, April 21.—Indian Agent
H. Oonroy who recently returned from
tho district around Fort Chlppewan Is
inclined to discredit the reports emanating from that point which tell the
story of starvation and privation among
the Indians,
It is practically impossible for such
a state of affairs to exist there," said
Mr. Conroy, "as there is a mounted police depot, a mission and many traders
living In the neighborhood. Besides the
Hudson's Bay company have an arrangement with the government to take
care of the Indians should anything of
the kind occur. Dispatches speak of a
comparatively small tribe of Indians at
Fort Chlppewan, but there are fully
four hundred Indians, which I consider
a large hand.
"We have heard of this thing ibefore,"
said Mr. McLean, "but we have no word
from our agent there as to Its veracity.
Last year a story was sent abroad
about it but turned out to be untrue."
To whom It may concern: This ts to
certify that I have used MINARD'S LINIMENT myself as well as prescribed It in
practice where a liniment was required
and have never failed to get the desired
effect.

EXPECT POPULATION
OF EIGHT MILLIONS
Census Will be Taken Next Year—No
Limit to Productive Area-
Endless Possibilities.
Next year the census will be taken,
and the prediction ls made that the
count will show a population of eight
millions. Seeing that the figures of
1901 gave us 6,300,000, the expected
jump is considerable. If we make It we
shall have added 2,700,000 to our
strength in ten yeais. The census bureau estimated the population on Jon.
1 at 7,360,000. We shall have to add
650,000 dining the present year tn order
<t0 reach the 8,000,000 mark. The expeoted figure seems high, says the Toronto Mall, hut considering the character of the country we possess, lt is not
excessive. i *
Former Ideas
We occupy, really the best and largest part of Uie North American continent. At an earlier period it was supposed that fertile lands were to ihe
foupd only in tbe most southerly portions of the Dominion and that tbe
north was a desert in which human beings could live aa hunters, but not as
farmers. Thirty yeara ago a distinguished member of parliament held the
floor of the house for hours while he
sought to prove that the entire route
now followed by the Canadian Pacific
■through the west, was alkaline soil and
utterly useless from the agricultural
point of view. ,
1000 Miles North
In addition to poverty of soil, we had,
according to the then current opinions,
an exceedingly bad climate. Human
life -was unsafe In high latitudes and
animal Life was practically impossible.
All these ideas have since been proven
erroneous. The fertile belt is not a
narrow strip and the climate has not
•the terrors attributed to It. Strangely
enough, the country gets better, at all
events, it does not deteriorate as it
goes north. Cultivation can he and is
carried on 1000 mileB above tbe boun*
dary line.
Had to Take Risks
When one part df the weBt is discovered economically, another part
opens up to the explorer and the settler and proves itself to be even more
attractive than tlie sections already examined. There seems indeed to be no
limit to -the productive area of the country. The position of today was not
reached at once, or without great difficulty and -great labor. We had to
take enormous -chances .before we could
•regard the western half ofi the country
as an available'asset. Nor were tbe obstructions to progress other than those
necessitating large expenditures, few
or unimportant.
The Day of Small Things
For years the forward movement was
delayed owing to the difficulty of finding the proper type of wheat to grow.
The solution of this problem was long
in coming, but when it did come it was
the begtning ot our growth in the west.
The early years, let it be repeated, were
<periods of disappointment and worry.
But they were really the seed time of
the harvest now experienced and of the
harvest that is yet to be. We some
times speak disparagingly of the progress that was made in ithe pioneer
days. But we must not forget that
those were days of preparation for the
period in which we now are.
Sixteen Millions
A population of eight millions or or
nearly twice that of the commonwealth
of Australia, Is certainly due at the
next census. The country is worth it;
the work of consolidation, of extension,
of exploration and of development has
earned It But we cannot stop at that
Canada will sustain -ten times that number of people and we ought to at least
doubQe during the next decade. Under
a policy of making for tiie conservation
oj our resources, for the utilisation ot
our own raw material and for the extension of oar' own industries we shall
have sixteen millions in 1M0.    .
THE EXODUS FROM THE PRAIRIE STATES
Greater Than the Great Immigration From Ireland
—Wonderful Attractions of British Columbia
and Prairie Provinces
CALGARY, April 21 — I have been
spending several weeks travelling in
the Canadian northwest and Heel it good
to be here. It Is a new world, utterly
unlike anything I have ever seen before; a world of abounding energy and
of supreme confidence in its own great
destiny,
Laat year 91,000 Americans crossed
over the line and settled down to work
as Canadian farmers. They brought
thither their goods and chatties and
money, or something like 1100,000,000
of capital. This season Americana are
flockin? to Canadian farms at the rate
of 25,000 a month and they will bring
$200,000,000 t0 build Canadian homes
and to develop the virgin wheat fields
of Alberta and Saskatchewan or thn
prolific orchard lands of British Columbia. Moreover, 30,000 immigrants
from -the British Isles and northern
Europe are arriving monthly, bound for
the Canadian northwest. These figures
represent a phenomenal condition of
affairs; 56,000 Americans and Europeans arriving monthly; in this new
world of golden glorious promise and
all going out into the prairies to plow
and to sow and to reap prolific harvests
and to build 'them happy homes in a
rich and fruitful land. I doubt if there
ever was before in the history of the
world, such a vast immigration of population as that which Is now flowing
into the Canadian northwest. It is phenomenal and it deserves the closest
scrutiny of the people of the United
States, it is not at all pleasant from
an American point of view to see in one
year 200,000 Americans, pioneer farm*
erB, transplant themselves and their
household goods to another country, to
devote their energy and grit and brain
to the upbuilding and enrichment of another land. There Is something very
strange and ominous in this extraordinary exodus of American farmers to
Canada.
Greater Than the Great Exodus
From' Ireland
I recollect when the whole world
stood aghast at an exodus of 100,000 a
year from Ireland, but I never thought
I would live to see an exodus of 300,-
000 a year of the best" American farmers into Canada, but I see it now and
marvel at it and yet the floodtide of
immigration from America to Canada
has been very far from reached. It has
grown and it will grow for years to
come, for here ts the last great empire
of the earth for the white man to settle and rule over.
Why the Americans Come
I shall be asked at once wherein lies
the great advantages of the Canadian
northwest over the western states,
whence this immigration comes. At
Pincher creek I mtit a farmer who had
lived In Kansas for 20 years. Five years
ago he came to Alberta and acquired
480 acres of land. Two years ago he
grew 8000 bushels of wheat off 220
acres and sold it for'$5600. Last year
he raised 12,000 bushels off 250 acres
and eold it for $10,000 or 85 cents per
bushel. His profits from the growth of
250 acres of wheat in Alberta last year
were greater than all his profits from
farming during the 20 years he farmed
In Kansas and this is the tale that
every American settler ln Canada sends
back to his old home and old friends.
He is certain of a crop of winter wheat
in Alberta of from 40 to 60 bushels an
acre while down in Kansas he was
lucky in he harvested 12 to 14 bushels
to the acre. Thirty bushels an acre of
winter wheat in Alberta Ib a very poor
crop; 45 bushels Is an average one.
Equal Soil, Superior Climate
Out here In Alberta and Saskatchewan the farmers grumble against the
weather and the gods if they .do not
harvest 100 bushels of oats to the acre.
Barley grows equally well and their
crops of potatoes, hay, tomatoes, peas,
beans, cauliflowers, and other vegetables are equally great, The soil of
Alberta and Saskatchewan ls as rich
and fruitful as that of Ohio and Indiana
before over-cropping and neglect and
under-cultivatlon had done Its worst.
The climate of Alberta and Saskatchewan is superior to the climate of any
state in the Mississippi valley, for the
groiwth of wheat, -barley, oats, hay and
vegetables of all kinds. It Is idle to
controvert this statement. It is patent
t0 every geographical student who will
study the reason why. Alberta and Saskatchewan are In the same latitude and
have a similar climate to Normandy,
Belgium, Holland, Denmark and Germany. The beef, pork, poultry, eggs,
butter, cheese and milk of these countries are famous throughout the world.
No such vegetable gardens as theirs
exist In either Southern Europe or In
the United States and no such meadows
and grain fields can be found either in
southern Europe or tlie United States.
Belgium has a foreign commerce of $2,-
500,000,000 yearly and it has not 25
per cent of the area of the state of New
York, It is smaller than Massachusetts
and Connecticut combined and yet Us
foreign commerce is not far behind that
or the United States of America. The
basis of that foreign trade is its farms.
Belgium exports of farm products exceed in value the exports of farm products of Canada and the United States
put together.
Greatest Area ot Black Loam in World
The Saskatchewan valley, extending
from Hudson bay to British Columbia
and Montana, has the moat extensive
area ot fertile black loam soil in the
world. Sometimes for two hundred
miles you cannot discover a rock or a
gravel bed, and this immense area is
watered with ten thousand streams and
rivulets, The deep rich soil; the long,
long summer days and the moist, warm
prevailing southwest winds thnt blow
over from the Pacific ocean, will make
Alberta and Saskatchewan in due time,
the granary of the world.
British Columbia
British Columbia is another empire
for H Is co-extensive with Great Britain,
Ireland and the German empire com*
'blned. The coast line of British Col*
umbia Is equal to that of all the countries bordering on the Mediterranean.
Her fisheries and her mineral wealth
excel the world. It boasts 3000 miles
of lake and river transportation. The
energy of 25,000,000 horses can be' harnessed in its rivers. The Columbia
river and tbe^Fraser river spread out
in tbe interior into chains of lakes that
have no parallel on this or any other
continent for exquisite beauty or pic*
utresque grandeur, The shores of the
Arrow lakes, like those of Slocan and
Kootenay for forest clothed mountains,
rising into peaks of everlasting snow,
while the shores of Okanagan lake, of
Fraser lake and of Stuart lake are the
finest orchard lands on the continent.
All the battleships of all the. nations
could manoeuvre in Arrow lakes, in
Kootenay lake, ln Babine lake or in
Stuart lake and these are ibut a few of
the thousand glorious lakes of that enchanting land. Lord Grey describes
Windermere as the most wonderful lake
ever seen, while others rave over the
unsurpassed and unsurpassable loveliness oi Emerald lake.
The Up-Country
To me, however, more wonderful than
the beauty of Us lakes and mountains
Is Its magnificent climate, I have seen
cultivated orchards on plateaux and hillsides 4000 feet above sea level and I
have eaten apples, pears and peaches
grown in three British Columbia valleys of a flavor more delicate and luscious than any I have ever tasted. Add
to thiB that its valleys when cleared and
cultivated make the most luxurious
pastures; that Its vegetable gardens are
unsurpassed; that Its dairy products
excel those of Munster or Normandy;
and that there Is ample room and opportunity for 60,000,000 of people to
build them happy homes in that glorious western land.
But In explaining the wonderful immigration British Columbia must be considered In conjunction with both Alberta and Saskatchewan, Europeans
of experience and capital are going very
largely to BritlBh Columbia, lured by
its climate, its rich garden, orchard
and pasture lands. Americans on the
other hand are settling up Alberta and
Saskatchewan, for they sow wheat on
their arrival In the spring and reap a
harvest in the fall,
Northern Alberta
Bishop Legal of northern Alberta, has
lived in this country since his ordination In Us native Brittany 30 years ago.
He la tiu but looks 20 years younger. He told me that he preflers the climate of Alberta to the climate of Brittany of Normandy. At the mission at
St. Albert they have -been cultivating
gardens and grain fields for 30 years
without fertilization and Bishop Legal
says the soil yields better crops at the
end of 30 years than at the beginning.
He explains this by saying that tho.
soil was so rich that frequent cropplnga
were necessary to tone It down and he
assured me that finer cattle, fatter
hogs and sheep, and better cream, butter and cheese and more of them can be
raised here than In the very richest
provinces in France. He also told me
that at the mission house at Providence,
600 miles north ot Edmonton there are
nearly 1000 acres of land under cultivation; that there they grow the finest of
wheat and mill it, themselves. They
cure their own bacon and hams and
tbey grow potatoes, cauliflowers, peas,
and beans equal to anything on the continent.
The pioneer farmers who went out a
generation ago into Kansas, Nebraska,
the Dakotas, Minnesota and transformed the wilderness Into pastures, gardens and grain fields are fully alive to
the growing scarcity of the world's
food supply and they know that owing
to poor prices and spasmodic crops,
they were never able to till and fertilize
their farms as they should have done.
They know their farms are run down
but they can sell them out now foi
¥100 or $150 an acre and move to Canada and buy the most fertile lands for
$20 or $30 an acre, close to the railway.
Jim Hill's Railway Rates
The farmers tof Minnesota and the
Dakotas, who have had 20 years experience with J. J. Hill's methods of fixing
freight rates don't want to go to Montana or Oregon, or into any other state
or territory where Mr. Hill can fix rates
on grain and hay and cattle and hogs,
etc. The St. Paul Journalist who compiles Mr. Hill's set speeches and magazine articles might explain the reason why, but there Is the broad hard
fact that the pioneer farmers along Mr.
Hill's railways from St, Paul to Seattle
aie selling out their farms and crossing
the Canadian line to become upbuild-
ers of this new empire. I have no hesitation In saying that a great deal of
this is due to the undue discrimination
of the railways against the farmer to
the collusion of the railways or their
subserviency to the beef trust. For 15
years the beef trust and the railways
got all the profit there was in the raising of sheep, hogs and cattle and noi.v
there Is a deplorable shortage of beef,
hogs and sheep aH" over the United
States.
I have no Intention of selecting Mr.
Hill's Great Northern railway as tho
chief culprit In rate discrimination
against farmers. Southern Pacific can
give Mr. Hill lessons in the art of fleecing the fruit grower and the farmer,
and so could others.
What I want to convey is the fact that
the great exodus from the States to
Canada Is due In no small measure to
the excessive tribute levied by the
railways on the American farmer and
the fear that railway rates will be still
more excessive in the future. The im*
menn over capitalisation of American
railways as compared with those of
Canada, and the perfectly monstrous
system of graft perpetrated on the rail*

ways by express companies and private
car lines, make lt utterly impossible for
American railways to keep on paying
their dividends, unless they Jerk up
the rates on the farmers and oa the
special interests like the trusts that
control copper, ofl, lead and beef, Mr.
Hill's Great Northern does not earn
half the money earned by the Canadian
Pacific railway and yet he distributes
more money to his security holders than
the Canadian Pacific and all its subsidiaries combined. That one fact is luminous.
Entrenched In Congress
I find a general and fierce dissatisfaction in the western states. The farmers and merchants believe they are
being discriminated against by both
the railways and the manufacturers of
the east. The beef trust, the private
car lines and the pampered express
companies are objects ofi their special
malediction but they see the special interests so entrenched in congress that
all hope of relief ls despaired of. Curious that millions of Americans should
see In the abandonment of their own
country, and ln Immigration to Canadii
the only escape from conditions that
threaten to become -worse before they
become better.

HUMORIST  IN   PARLIAMENT.
Secret of    Popularity    of    Sir Wilfrid
Lawson.
"I never heard any man whose
spontaneous fun was so overflowing
as Sir Wilfrid Lawson's. He somehow or other cannot open his mouth
without Joking; but I may say that
I never heard out of his mouth a Joke
that ought to have wounded any cman."
There, in the words of Cardinal
Manning, you have the secret of the
popularity with men of all shades of
opinion in the house of commons
which Sir Wilfrid Lawson enjoyed.
His death, four years ago, was keenly felt on both sides of the house,
nnd the beautiful statute erected ou
the Embankment, and unveiled Inst
year by Mr. Asquith, was a tribute
from political foes as well as political
friends.
Sir Wilfrid's pet aversion were
militarism and drink, and among the
imany stories told in the biography of
him, edited by the Right Hon. G. W.
E. Russell, and published by Smith,
Elder and Co., Is one that refers to
Sir Andrew Clark, Mr. Gladstone's
physician.
It is said that, when he recommended a patient to drink wine, the latter
expressed some surprise, saying he
thought Sir Andrew Clnrk was a temperance doctor, to which Sir Andrew
Clark replied, "Oh, wine does sometimes help you to get through work;
for instance, I have often twenty let-
ters to answer after dinner, and a pint
of champagne ts a great help." "Indeed," said the patient, "does a pint
ot champagne really help you to answer
the twenty letters?" "No! no.' said Sir
Andrew, "but when I've had a pint of
champagne, I don't care a rap whether
I answer them or not!"
Sir Wilfrid's speeches were always
popular, for the simple reason that
they were anecdotal. He usually
forced home a point with a good
story. He Once, told how Dr. Temple,
when Bishop of London, went down
to speak on Temperance at Exeter,
and in illustrating his subject happened to say, "I never waa drunk
in my lite.''     Whereupon   the news-

paper posters which came out the
next morning contained the headline,
"Startling Statement by a Bishop."
"In 1860," says Sir Wilfrid in one
of his diaries, "1 fell Into matrimony.
I entered the church alone, between
a line of volunteer soldiers, and came
out of it through the same line along
with my wife. This recalls to one's
recollection the text inscribed on the
tomb of a deceased couple, "Their welfare 9s accomplished." Fortunately
my wedding venture did not result ln
hostilities.   .   .   .
"There is such a thing as want of
tact. A wife was once complaining
to a clergyman of her husbands unsatisfactory conduct, when he said,
'You should heap coals of fire on his
head.' To which she replied, 'Well,
I tried boiling water, and that did no
good.'"
Here are two anecdotes which Sir
Wilfrid was fond of relating. "Somebody asked Spurgeon whether a man
who played a cornet could be a Christian. 'I don't know,' replied Spurgeon,
'but the man who lived next door
could not.'" Yet another one concerning Spurgeon relates how he once
asked all who wished to go to Heaven
to stand up, but a sailor kept his seat.
Spurgeon asked him * If lie did not
wish to go to Heaven? 'Not with such
a crew ns this," was the reply
In the days of his youth Sir Wilfrid
was very fond of hunting. As a
matter of fact, he bought the hounds
which John Peel, of 'D'ye ken John
Peel?" fame, had hunted, and became master of the Cumberland Foxhounds. And incidentally it might
be mentioned that Sir Wilfrid settled >t.he right reading of the old song.
"When the famous song of John
Peel spread from its native Cumberland all over the fox-hunting world,
people accustomed to the traditional
scarlet thought it impossible that a
master of the hounds could have
hunted in a grey coat, and therefore
altered "His coat so grey," to "His coat
bo gay." But the emendation was at
once arbitrary and erroneouB.' Sir
Wilfrid has placed it on record that
"His grey coat Is no more a myth
than himself, for I well remember the
long, rough, grey garment which almost
came down to liis knees."
It was during these hunting days
that Sir Wilfrid also became acquainted with a Cumberland squire whose
Improbable stories were a source of
much amusement. This old squire
was very fond of telling the story
of a favorite steady old pointer.
One day he lost the dog for a time,'
and by and by, In looking for it,
climbed over a wall, when up got a
covey of partridges, and lo and behold, there was the pointer lying on
ite back, with all Its legs ln the air;
This, he explained, waa because the
dog had tumbled on Its back in getting over the wall, and, Just at that
moment getting wind of the partridges, was too steady to alter the position dn which it was found.
"I hardly know a story to match
this," says Sir Wilfrid, "except that of
the man who said liis dog could point
game anywhere, and that one day it
stood stock still by the side of a man
in Hyde Park. This somewhat puzzled
him, until he found out that the name
of the man was Partridge."

real to give assurance to th© Royal
bunk that the money was going to rest
in that bank. Woods said he did not
remember them saying they were go-
In? to finance the construction company.
Cross-examined by Bennett, Woods
said he had never had any conversation with Cross about northern railways, Cross had always been of the
opinion that Edmonton would be nothing without a country behind It, and
in order to develop the country there
had to be a railway into it. Woods admitted that his relations with Minty
dining negotiations grew to be those
or a, colleague rather than of representatives of the railway. When Bennett
asked him why there had been so
much fuss and feathers, so much correspondence over this railway company when the guarantees of the G.
T. P. and C. N. R. were put through
in a businesslike way, with only few
letters and documents, Woods said he
did not understand what Bennett meant
and said there had been as much fuss
over the C. N. R. act as over this.
Woods said he had referred to Cross,
mutters on which he and Minty could
not agree. One of these had been
control of rates. Minty said if the
government retained control of rates
their stock would be useless. Cross
had insisted on retaining this clause.
Woods said Cushing had been fully apprised of negotiations and that the ex-
minister had even taken a part In the
discussion at' the meeting of cabinet,
where Woods explained details of
mortgage after all material matters
had been settled. Woods said he made
It clear to Cushlng and other members
that the guarantee was not to exceed
$20,000 n mile and that if the road
only cost $15,000 a mile from Edmonton to La SBlche and $28,000 beyond,
the money was to be paid out accordingly only on the average of $20,000.

ONTARIO RAISES
TIMBER TAXES
Timber Duet, Ground Rente and Trans*
fer Fees All Increased for
Ten Years.
One of the most Important eteps
ever taken by the Ontario government
for the preservation of the forests of
the province was announced this week
by the Hon. Frank Cochrane, minister
of lands, forests and mines. In addition to preserving - the forests the
change'in the government policy will
affect the lumber -trade, and will bring
in a substantial Increase in timber
revenue, but. it will not prove injurious to or embarrass the interests of
the lumber trade.
Dues and Rents.
All timber dues will be Increased by
fifty cents per thousand feet board
measure, bringing the dues on pine
saw logs up to $1.50 per thousand
feet board measure. Dues on square
timber have been increased from $20
to $60 per thousand cubic feet, and
25 cents per thousand feet has been
added to tbe dues on hemlock. Tliere
are other small but unimportant increases. The question of ground rent
also was considered by the government, and it has been decided that
there should be an increase of $2 per
' mile, bringing all ground rent up to $5
per mile. There will thus be only
one rate of ground rent all over the
province. It is interesting to note
that the province of Quebec also has
increased the ground rent on timber
limits from ?3 to ?5 a mile.
Ten years has been fixed by the
government as the time during which
the dues- shall not be raised, so that
there will be no uncertainty or unfairness In not having some definite period
within which the dues Bhall not be
raised.
Transfer Fees Are Increased from $1
to $5 a Mite.
In addition to the increase In timber
dues and ground rents, the government bas decided that owners of timber limits must hire their own fire
rangers and pay all expenses. The
government, however, will retain some
control over the men appointed, whose
names must be submitted to the department In case owners ot limits
fall to appoint nre rangers, the govern*
ment will do ao and charge the expenses against the limits, withholding
the license until all such charges are
raid. ;

Theodore  Roosevelt Arrives In  French
Capital—Denies Reported Criticism of Methodists.
PARIS, April 21—Theodore Roosevelt, ex-
presldent of the United States, entered
Paris at 7.30 o'clock this morning and was
^received with ull the honors of a reigning
sovereign travelling Incognito. A cordon
of troops surrounded the railway station
and "held hack the multitude which, in
spite of the early hour, had congregated.
The representatives of the government and
the municipality extended a formal welcome to tlielr great guest, after which
Mr. Roosevelt and his son entered an
automobile ami were driven to the United
States embassey whore Mrs. Roosevelt and
Miss Ethel were waiting them. This afternoon the official part ot Mr. Roosevelt's
program consisted of calls upon President
Fullleres and Foreign Minister Ptehon,
who immediately afterwards paid return
visits to the American embassy, ,
Denies Dispatch.
Mr. Boosevelt has issued a statement
relative to a Rome despatch last week
quoting him as saying that upon his return to America he would do his utmost
to "drive from Rome the Methodists, who
disgraced any religion." Mr. Roosevelt
says that this statement was an unqualified falsehood. He says he never published
or privately said anything resembling what
this despatch said.
NEST OF MOURNING DOVE.
BOSTON, April 81 .-Dr. Clifton P. Rodge
of Clark university, Worcester, Mass., who
Is at the head of the movement to preserve the Aferlcan wild pigeon or passenger pigeon from extinction, received from
Middlemlsf, Ont., a nest supposed to be
that of one of the rare birds. ,
The nest, however, proved to be that of
n mourning dove and the claimant for the
$1,000 reward offered for the discovery of
tbe first nest loses. The seiller of tlie
nest would have lost the reward anyway,
even If his find had been a passenger
pigeon's nest, because it is expressly
stated as a stipulation that the nest must
he undisturbed until Dr. Hodge sees it.
The fact that this nest wns that of a
mourning dove leads Dr. Hodge to believe
that t'he first nest reported from Ontario
Is also the noHt of a. mourning dove, be-
onuse the second nest came from the same
section of country, which Indicates that
mourning doves and not passenger pigeons
are nesting there.
,The mourning dove usually lays two
eggs In a nest less than 10 feet from the
ground, while the passenger pigeon ordinarily lavs one In a nest much higher up
in the tree.	
DISPATCH OF TROOPS
CAUSES APPREHEN3ION
HAVANA, April 21—The widespread
sentiment of apprehension, the result
of tho sudden dispatch from Cape Col*
umbla for Santa Clara, of a battalion of
infantry, a battalion of machine gun 3
and a troop ot mounted rural guards
has been In no wise allayed by the state
ment given out at military headquarters
that the dispatch of the troops was
merely the carrying out of a long approved plan to statfon a garrison at
Santa Clara. This explanation did not
agree with a statement issued by the
secretary of the interior, that the'sending Of troops was the result of reports
received hy the government that the
negroeB In Santa Clara and the Ariento
provinces had been greatly excited by
the Inflammatory addresses of the negro
agitator, Gen. Everlsto Eseenoz. Es-
tenoz recently was reported to have
■boasted that on his return to Havana
he would demand the resignation of
President Gomez, but it now appears
that he has been several days in Havana without making any demonstration.
COST OF LIVING IN  NEW YORK
SHOWS SIGNS OF COMING DOWN
NEW YORK, April 21—A decline lithe price of pork of $2 per barrel within the last ten days, the loss of 1 cent
a pound in lard, $2 per hundred pounds
in hogs, (i cents a bushel in wheat and
10 cents in corn, and a demoralized
flour market, are pointed to by observers of cm-rent conditions as an undoubted forerunner of an era of cheaper food prices.
The decline in provisions within the
last two or three days has been more
or less sensational and reflects a lack
of confidence on the part of holders in
their ability to maintain prices at the
prevailing high levels in the fact of
strong opposition on -the part of the
consumng public.

Labor In Canada Is radical, and its
supremacy may endanger vested Interests.
But Labor in Australia does not endanger its own industrial life by friendship for Free Trade or Its own national
life by enmity to the militarism of self-
defence In the spirit of
"Tbe strong  man  armed   who
keepeth hlte goods in peace."
Australia hus a Labor party which
has followers, as well as leaders. Labor
In Australia has mastered the truth
that Protection is the friend, tbat Free
Trade Is the enemy, of the worker, and
that only the might of an empire armed on the sea apd a people armed on
the land can save Australia from becoming "Orientalized."

Grady, the new catcher, proved to be no
neopiiyte, and his position on' the team is
a fixture. The game on the whole was
very Interesting, but rather loose in spots,
and there were numerous contributions to
the error column.
The Seniors secured three runs to their
opponents' goose-egg in the first Inning,
and were on easy street for the rest of
the game, although the dual scores of the
High School in the sixth and seventh innings made it look doubtful for a time.

He said the ordering of these cases
for a rearrangement would really do
nothing more than allow Wall street

It could manipulate stocks and do almost anything it wanted to because
there will ibe a delay of almost, if not
quite a year. The situation now is such
that the cases cannot be reargued until
September of October and in the interim efforts will be made to fill tbe
court
