Belief That Government Will

sion Has Diminished.
, LONDON, July 31—The political
crisis over the veto bill has undergone
a slight modification as the' cabinet today decided to postpone the reappearance of the bill before the commons
until Aug. 7.
Present indications point to the healing of the breach in the Unionist ranks.
Lord Lansdowne and his followers,
are in favor of the bill and the Sails-
buryltes who are opposed to it will
meet tomorrow night in full force at a
complimentary banquet to the Unionist
party's former whip, Sir Alexander
Hood, who is now known as Lord St.
Audrey. At this dinner Mr. Balfour,
leader of the opposition in the house
of commons, is expected to speak in an
effort to pave tho way for a modus Vivendi* between the opposing sections
of the party. Lord Lansdowne tonight
issued a letter discounting the Idea of
any Unionist peers voting in the government lobby for the veto bill. This
belated decision on the part of Lord
Lansdowne probably means that be has
secured sufficient support to make the
Salisburyltes powerless against the
Tote of the Liberal peers.
Tbat the tension has lessened is
shown by the fact that King George
has decided to remain at 'Cowes for
the rest of the week. There is still a
strong belief In the lobbies of parliament, however, that Premier Asquith
in order to guard against surprises
will have created a batch of about 60
peers before again trusting the veto
bill to the blouse of lords,.
n Imperial   Defence.
LONDON, July 31.—Later advices
on the report of the committee on imperial defence deal with the appointment of an InBpector-general of the
overseas forces. The inspector-general could be Invited by the dominions to review the. military, situation
on certain terms; the gist of which
follows:
"The home government would be
liable for the pay of the inspector
and his staff and for their travelling
expenses In the United Kingdom, and
the Dominion asking the services of
Inspector-general would be liable for
the travelling expenses of himself and
staff during his stay in the dominion
and passage one way. "It la understood," says the report, "that these inspections can only take place on invitations, from the government concerned."
The duties of tbe Inspector-general
would be to form a judgment on the
officers and men in the overseas
forces, also the handling of troops, a
standard system of training, the suit
ability of equipment generally and the
readiness of the forces in the event
of war.
"Unless- especially asked to," states
another section of the report, "the inspector-general would not deal with
such questions as the military policy
of the dominion In question, and even
if he should do so by request, his
opinion on these subjects would not
be submitted until confirmed by
competent authority, a. committee, of

Is near the Arlington and belonged to
George Long, Martin Maurer and N.

promising silver-lead proposition.

Dr. Arthur's resignation waB refused
by the school board at last night's
meeting which" was of short but volcanic order, some heated discussion
following a resolution by A. D. Emory,
seconded by R. G .Joy that it be not
accepted.
tVfter explaining that he had endeavored unsuccessfully to have the
books audited before the meeting, Dr.
Arthur handed the chairman a paper
with the words: "I tender my resignation as secretary."
Mr. Emory—Thia follows, I suppose,
the challenge In The Daily News, back
of which is tlie dispute between the
city council and the school board. This
dispute will probably be settled shortly
as the case Is now being prepared. I
do not therefore think that It would
be wise for us to accept Dr. Arthur's
resignation until this matter has been
settled or to put the city to the expense of an election which would probably result in the situation being not'
materially, changed. 1 move tbat It be
not accepted.
A silent interval followed which was
broken by the chairman who asked
Dr. Jones if she had any resignation
to hand to the board. This drew forth
the retort: "I have no resignation to
place in the bands of you men. I will
keep to my promise made in my leter
to The Dally News but I will hand ln
no resignation to this board.
Says Resignation Just a Bluff
The Chairman—The board is the
proper body to receive resignations.
Dr. Jones—Dr. Arthur's resignation
was just a blutf, Dr, Arthur is afraid
to go to an election. All this haB been
arranged between you.
Mr. Emory—Not one part of what
you say is true.
Dr. Jones—You all met before  as
you always do and arranged it,   Dr.
Arthur told* you what to do.
. Mr. Emoryr-He did not.
• Mr. joy—Dr. Arthur did not know
anything about what we were going
to do about it
• Dr. Jones—This Is how you arrange
everything. I have not even had the
opportunity of knowing about the business of the board.
•Dr. ■Arthur—You have yourself to
blame.
Dr. JoneB—No; I have not. ,   .
Dr. Arthur—You insinuated at the
first meeting of this board that I had
stolen. the school funds.
Dr. Jones—I did not.
Dr. Arthur—I leave it, to the board.
Mr. Emory—There is not one word
of truth In such an insinuation. It is
just the same with regard to the resignation. Dr. Arthur did not know anything about our action.
Dr, Jones—As I said before I will not
give.my resignation to this board, I
know what you. would do. You would
refuse Dr. Arthur's- and accept mine.
The Chairman—I give you my word
of honor, Dr. Jones, that we would
treat your resignation Just as we have
Dr. Arthur's.
Dr. Jones—I don't truBt you far
enough.
There was a brief lull in the discus-
Blon which was broken'by Dr. Jones
declaring tbat she was not treated as a
member of the board and tbe chairman
retorting that he would treat her as
she t'reated"hlm. ,"''
' The motion to refuse Dr. Arthur's
resignation passed, Dr. Jones saying
"write me against," and the, chairman
remarking "that ends that for this, year
at least"
Some- Final Pleasantries     "
Mr. Joy. wished to bring up some
other matters connected with the
schools but was ruled out of order by
the chairman and the closing pleasantries concerned some remarks which Dr.
Jones alleged Were made to her by Mr,
Irvine in his store after the election
last January..
"You said to mo at that time," said
Dr. Jones, "when I suggested that the
board's meetings should not .be held
in Dr. Arthur's private office that you
would "stand up for the Arthurs and
that my election was a josh."
Mr. Irvine—A huge josh, I said.
Dr. Jones—You say that 1 went Into
saloons and canvassed for votes. That
is untrue and I Intend to deny it publicly. Unless you .'publicly apologize
I will never treat you as anything but
the lowest of the low,
Mr. Irvine—Thank you, Dr. Jones.

Great Britain May Reject
Moroccan Settlement
LONDON, July 31.—It was learned,
unofficially, through the foreign office, that at a conference in Berlin
today between M. Jules Cambon,
French ambassador to Germany, and
Foreign Secretary Waechter it was
expected an agreement upon the
Moroccan question would be concluded between France and Germany. It
was said that France is prepared to
accept Germany's demands for "compensation," for giving the French a
free hand in Morocco, but the exact
extent of the final demand Is not yet
known. Indications point to an early
settlement of the German-French dispute, but there is still much uncertainty whether the agreement will be
satisfactory- to England, which Is roost
particular on account of her own Interests about the readjustment of territory boundaries iu Africa, It Is
pointed out that if England vetoes the
agreement a fresh strain is inevitable.
Rumors indicate today that there may
be some truth in a story published
here -that Germany demanded the dismissal of Chancellor Lloyd George,
for his Mansion house speech, has
tended still further to embitter Anglo-
German sentiment.

Unless there Is a complete misunderstanding of wires sent by the publicity

C. P. B. heads—Vf. 6. Miller, divisional
superintendent, Captain J, C. Gore, superintendent of the' lake. and. river service,
and w. J. Welle, district passenger agent,
—have,already promised that thla shall be
done! if the need should ariae, without additional expense. The only reason for
suspecting that there Is a misunderstanding of the situation Is that a wire received
yesterday afternoon by Mr. Wells reveals
that the passenger department at Winnipeg
evidently believes that the.;proposal Is to
carry the party over the lakes In the cars.
The C. P. R. operating department here,
on the contrary, plans to nandle the party

FOR FIRE WAGON
Mayor Will Assist in Welcome
to Ohio Editorial
Association
That the city had purchased an additional $40,000 worth of its own debentures, making the total redeemed
for the present year $70,000, was the
announcement made at the council
meeting last night. This block was
offered by E. B. McDermid a few days
ago at a premium of one-half of one
per cent and eagerly snapped up in a
telegram sent by the mayor and the
chairman of the finance committee.
These debentures were part' oi! an
Issue of $GO,000 for sewers, electric
light and waterworks and were, under
ordinary circumstances, not redeemable until 1918.
By the transaction confirmed by the
council on motion of Aid Hume and
Aid. Madden last night the city effected a saving by buying back these
bonds of approximately $20,000. The
block purchased a few months ago
were obtained for two and a half pe>>
cent premium, saving the city about
$16,000. The money for the redemption of debentures Is, of course, obtained from the sinking fund provided
for that purpose.
Plenty of Water Available.
The city engineer reported that he
had made an examination of both
Whitewater and Anderson creeks and
had found that there was an abundant
supply to be obtained from both whenever the city should be ln a position
to build the necessary flume or pipe
tb ~the' reservoir; Mr. Mackay stated
that a man had been employed, to see
that the sprinkling regulations were
not broken, with the result that It had
been discovered that in several places
was defective plumbing which, caused
a loss of water. In these cases the
owners of the property concerned had
been notified that they must have the
plumbing repaired before a certain
date or the- supply would be cut off.
The city clerk stated that Mrs.
Walsh had been sent to the old woman's home at Victoria,
Three-Hitch Fire Outfit Ordered.
On a recommendation from the fire
chief, who stated tbat there was only
one outbreak and that that was not
of a serious nature in the city during
July, it was decided that new harness
should be obtained to replace some
which had become defective. The
council also ordered that a new three-
hitch outfit Bhould be obtained so that
three horses could be used for the fire
wagon. One of the old team will be
used for this purpose and the second
of this pair, which are now recuperating, will probably be used aB a general utility. horse, partly for the purposes of the electric light department
and in cases where necessary to draw
a small rig for the fire chief
and his men in cases of outbreaks
above Latimer street. This rig will
be equipped with fire hose and with a
couple of habcocks ami is expected to
prove of considerable advantage when
fires occur in the uptown portion of
the city.
O'Shea & Forris wrote asking that
the lease of W. Elford should be transferred to the Elford Boat company.
The application was granted on condition that the terms of the waterfront leases, which Include the proviso
that the waterfront shall be kept clear
of refuse and debris, are fulfilled.
Howe's London circus applied for
permission to use the recreation
grounds on Aug. 13 and 14. The matter was left in the hands, of the city
cleric.
To  Welcome Ohio Editors.
H. H. Currie, publicity commissioner, wrote inviting the council to appoint a representative on the committee which bas charge of the reception to the Ohio editors who are
expected In Nelson on Aug. 7 and
briefly explained the intention of the
bureau as to the entertainment to be
provided for the visitors. The mayor
was appointed.
The routine financial bylaws, which
give the city treasurer power to proceed with the assessments, were
finally passed.
The council adjourned to Aug. 13.
Those present were the mayor, Aid.
Ferguson, Aid. Gilker, Aid. Hume and
Aid. Madden.
C. E. Lawrence Tells of Importance to
Country of Work of Commission
on Conservation
"The important work before the commission of conservation is not yet
realized," said C. E. Lawrence, field
commissioner for the commission of
conservation. "It is the conservation
of the natural resources of the Dominion and is divided under seven
heads, agriculture, forestry, water, mining, etc. I am connected with the first
named and my instructions are to interview a number of representative agriculturists In each district and learn
from them what characterises their
holding and methods in particular and
the district in general.
"I am keen to know the hindrance
there is to a full development of the
agricultural industry and every interested person has the opportunity of
Btatlng his individual opinion and suggested remedy to be laid berore the
commission appointed to take these
matters into consideration and find a
practical solution. For instance the
title conservation suggests the prevention of waste and to this end a systematic selection of seed, which the
commission will encourage, will go far
to eliminate waste of labor and land
by resulting ln a large harvest of superior grain on a smaller acreage.
"The proper care and distribution of
manure will prevent exhaustion of the
fertility of the soil—a serious state of
things which already exists in some
parts where instead of conservation
the fertility of the soil needs restoration. Weeds and insects, too, cause
waste of crops and energy and in many
districts the former have reached such
a state of luxuriance on roadsides and
railway tracks that their eradication
will cost treble what their prevention
would have done.
"No one knows better than the agriculturists the need of increased and
improved transportation facilities and
this opportunity of hammering at a nail
always hard to drive should not be
neglected. One thing he may be assurer of a very sympathetic ear on the
part of the commission.
"Remember I am not here to do tbe
talking—the other fellow has to do
that—and I know from experience at
last years conventions that you have
in the surrounding country men who
can hold their own against all comers
ln any branch of the Industry. These
are the men I want to meet and also
tbe man with a grievance—the man
who has troubles which don't seem to
afflict othersT-ths man. w^a^ ha^ invested his little all and finds heTa'up
against lt because—well let him state
the reason and If the commission can
help him it. will, Lfor men as well as
matter have to be conserved."
■Mr. Lawrence, who is at the Hume,
haB worked through the Okanagan valley and stated last night that he found
excellent mixed crops' in the upper part
of the valley. The fruit, he said, wan
lighter than last year in the south of
the valley but the Irrigated hay crop
and cereals were excellent, both In the
Okanagan and Similkameen.
There is a crop of peaches but
in no case a record crop and I think
that prices Bhould rule very high," he
said. "I went to Orovllle, Wash., and
found that the conditions there did nol
surpass the Okanagan.
"In Grand Forks the conditions are
as favorable as in any place I have
visited, the irrigation problem being
solved by pumping wlater from the
Kettle river by electricity. The Doukhobors have a bumper crop of wheat
without irrigation."

Messrs. Barnett and Van Velsor arrived
from Spokane at the boundary line with
an automobile. This they were allowed,
It Is said, to bring Into Canada on condition that they give a guarantee that it
.would not be used for business purposes,
and upon putting up of a bond. The
alleged offenBe took place the Sunday following, when some trouble arose between
the parties as to the clearing of the machine. In the end Messrs. Barnett and
Van Velsor took the automobile back to
Spokane and Mr. Vroom retained the bond.
When they returned to Nelson last weekend a charge was laid against them.

DUTIES ON COAL
TO BE SUSPENDED
If Mines Are Not Immediately
Reopened Coal May Be
Imported Free
(Special to The Dally News.)
FERNIE, B.C., July 31—It has been
officially announced here today that
the minerB at Corbin, after meeting
the local management on Saturday and
listening to an address by Manager
Gus Smith, which was translated into
the Slav language by Father Melshner
and which explained to the men th*
terms upon which the manager would
reopen the mines, avoiding the permanent shut down which had been decided upon in anticipation of an adverse vote upon the conciliation board
findings and recommendations, voted to
return to work upon a temporary agreement pending the action of the district
officials and the operators association.
The vote stood 85 to 17 in favor of;
resuming work and all but six men inf
the camp signed on and the mine was
reopened this morning..
The scale of wages that Ib adopted
by the general agreement between the
operators and district 18 is to govern
the wages at Corbin as soon as such
a scale has been agreed upon.
This action, it is thought, will
strengthen the feeling already strong in
some localities, to accept the findings
of the board, and it ia confidently expected that the vote in the district
will confirm the action at Corbin.
A mass  meeting is  called to meet
here ln the Grand theatre tomorrow i
at which the vital question will be dl&-   L

Duties Remove*.
OTTAWA, July 31—Hon. MW, tuple
King tonight made the following announcement: V
"With a view to relieving the/ situation as it has developed in the/ Canadian west in consequence of the prolonged cessation of operations at the
coal mines in southern British Columbia and Alberta, an order in council
was passed by the government today
providing that on and after Aug. 7 the
duties on coal will be removed on the
southern frontier, west of Sault Ste
Marie for consumption in British Columbia east of the 122nd meridian of
longtitude, and in the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitobn."
The action taken by the government
is bused on representations which have
been made by the premierB of Alberta
and Saskatchewan, by boards of trade
and the authorities of the mining localities in provinces concerned to the
effect that a serious shortage of coal
in eastern British Columbia and lithe provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan and Manitoba is likely to result
from the prolonged cessation of work
in the various coal mines and that,
such shortage will be liable to be the
occasion of widespread privation and
possible disaster among the Inhabitants
of the provinces referred tb. In these
circumstances and having In mind the
situation as it developed in the Canadian west at the time of the threatened
fuel famine four years ago, it has
seemed right and conductive to the
public good that exceptional steps
should be taken to assist in bringing
about an avoidance of dangers which
might arise from a fuel famine.
It is stated in the order ln council
that the proposed remission of duties
shall take effect on and after Aug. 7
next and shall continue so long as in
the opinion of the governor In council
the mines may, through lack of operation, fall to secure sufficient coal to
meet present requirements 'and for n
period of two weeks after the passing
of an order revoking the order which
authorizes the remission of duties.
From this it will be apparent that if
the authorities between now and the
close of the present week, affect a settlement and work is to be resumed on
Monday next, no remission of duties
will take place. On the other hand
if work should not be resumed on Monday next, then practically all coal
brought Into the provinces of Manitoba,
Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia will come In. free of duty for
such time as the work, may not have
been resumed at the mines and for a
period of two weeks thereafter.

about midnight. On his way back to
the hotel atter a musical evening at
Mrs, Rollins' near Dr. Heaton's house,
and within a stone's throw of the

Carstalrs thought discretion the better
part of valor and retired precipitately.
The doctor likewise having no gun, pursuit was useless, though both gentlemen heard the bear retire up the hill
behind the house shortly afterwards.
He is In the habit of quenching his

Free gold has been freely displayed in
specimens last week by R. W. Youill, who

between Ten and Twelve Mile. The bullion
was plainly visible in the specimens and
H is not doubted that they came off the
property of Mr. Youill and J. 8. Whitaker,
known locally as "Arkansaw," and the
story of the find has led to other claims
being staked ln that vicinity, but not to
the finding of more specimens of the same
kind. Twelve years ago Caleb Freeman
found single specimens on the same property, known for years as the "nig Bob,"
but honest and painstaking search by that
doughty prospector, now in Johnson City.

TWO ROADS FROM KASLO
TO   FLETCHER  CREEK
(Special to The Daily News.)
MIRROR LAKE, July 31.—The frequent
visits of bears, botli brown and black, on
the road between Mirror Lake and Kaslo
Is becoming rather a dangerous nuisance.
Several have been seen since Mrs. Davis
and Mrs. Norman met a big one there two
weeks ago.
The strawberry crop, which has been a
good one, Is now over. Early sweet and
sour cherries have been lighter than usual
but the Morellos which are Just ripening
now, are extra large and good. Fears also
are extra heavy, and all varieties of apples except Gravenstoins and Spltzenbergs
are better than usual. Plums are a small
crop.
The two roads between Mirror Lake and
Fletcher Creek will both be connected up
in a few days. The ridge over the creek
also is about finished. This will give two
good roads from Kaslo to Fletcher Creek,
and a cross-road connecting them.
Mr, Norman has lately Invested ln some
bees. They are doing good work and rap-
Idly piling up the honey from white clover,
which here grows everywhere.
Miss E. Giegerlch, who lias done such
good work in the Mirror Lake school during the past year, has resigned. She will
take a position In the Kaslo school for
next year. We shall welcome ln her place
Miss Florence Reid of Calgary.
Herman Fhlllmore is making good progress in clearing up his ranch at Twin
Bay. We understand that he has it nearly all slashed. This will make an excellent location In a few years, with several miles of beautiful level land on the
lake shore and crossed by the Nelson and
Calgary main road.
Mr. K. K. Bjerkness and family are
spending the summer in Vancouver this
year. His rancii Is being cared for by A.
Leet at present, but we understand Mr.
Bjerkness will be back in the autumn to
harvest his crop of apples and pears.

MONTREAL, July 30.—Despite the
fact that the Dominion' government
haB been spending millions in money
and years in time bettering the navigable ohannel of.the St. Lawrence
from the great lakes to the sea, it ts
many moons since the inland shipping
fleets have bad such rough sledding
as they have had this season. For
sledding instead of sailing it has been
on many an eventful occasion. The
water Ib so low that vessels have to
scrape along in spots and experienced
pilots assert that It is nothing short
of dangerous to attempt to run a boat
through the Cedars, the Split Rock or
the Long Sault Freight boats are
making their runs anywhere from
eight to 24 hours late on account of
the caution necessary, and the time
lost entering and leaving the canals,
and the Richelieu and Ontario Navigation company's crafts, which are
scheduled to give a dally thrill to
tbrongs of tourists by shooting the
rapids from Prescott to Montreal have
been forced to tie up at the former
place and rdve their passengers another sort ot thrill by train for the remainder of the Journey. Engineers
are pointing out, and pilots agree, that
the only feasible way of being assured
of a deep, free ohannel during the
whole shipping season, year in and year
out, dry or wet will be to push ahead
with the construction of the dam at
t»vip- Sault. a work which would materially deepen the channel in ths part
which Is shallowest at present and
Whloh pilots and captains fear most.

How to Keep Cool.
. A plan for keeping cool, which has
at least the attraction of novelty has
Just been received here by Chief Detective Carpenter, in a letter from an altruist ln Liverpool, and although the
commissioners have been so busy that
he has not had time as yet to test it,
he bas passed it along for what It
may be worth. According to the Inventor of this scheme, all that is necessary for a cool night's rest, paradoxical as It may sound, is to cover one's
self sufficiently. It is the method of
covering, however, that counts. For
a single bed the first requisite li a
stick or heavy cord sufficient ln length
to reach from the head to the foot of
the bed. This ts put in position over
the center ot the bed about 18 inches
above Its surface. From this are suspended newspapers sewn together falling over the edges of the bed to the
floor, forming a sort of tent-like structure. It is, of course, open at each
end and should extend- to within about
18 Inches of the head. Over the newspapers Is next spread a blanket or
sheet and the cooling plant Is ready.
The Inventor claims that anyone sleep*
lng under this cover will be kept cool
by tbe continuous breeze moving from
end to end caused by the difference In
temperature Inside and outside. On
the face of It tbe plan seems a little
fanciful. But then there are plenty of
people who do not know that water
can be cooled tn a' dry climate by putting tn a porous jar and placing lt In
the sun.   Evaporation does the rest

WINNIPEG, Man., July 8L-The old

Corporal C. L. Dixon, of the Strathcona
horse. Dixon who is 27 years of age,
together with several friends, was bathing
ln the river, and ln a sportive mood Dixon
cried out tbat he was drowning, at the
same time splashing vigorously ln imitation of a drowning man. His companions
rushed to his help only to be, as they
afterward remarked, "handed the ha ha."
Concluding their swim shortly afterward,
several of the bathers began to dress,
when Dixon, who was still in the water,
began to struggle and cry for help. Suspecting another hoax, his companions
stayed on the bank and not until Dixon
sank for the last time did they realize
that the farce was a tragedy. The body
was later recovered by Sergeant Trumpeter Jacques.

OTTAWA, July 31^-R. L. Borden has
made the following statement in regard to dissolution:
Dissolution of parliament came as a
great surprise to supporters of the administration. They evidently knew no
more of the intention of the government than they knew of the reciprocity agreement up to Jan. 26 last. Apparently the government decided upon
dissolution in a hurry or even in a
panic, as they gave, no intimation to
any members on both sideB of the
house who were accustomed to spend
the week end with their families and
who left for their homes on Friday
night without receiving the courtesy
of notice.
Welcomes Appeal
The Liberal-Conservative party welcomes an appeal to the people upon
the great issue which bas been under
discussion fn parliament. The president of the United States has more
than once emphasized the fact that
Canada is today at the parting of the
ways. TheBe two ways lead in very
divergent directions. The choice of the
people will be fraught with momentous consequences to the future destiny
of this country. It is right and just
that they should speak because an
agreement rests upon the decision.
Without Supply
The government has dissolved parliament without prorogation, without
supply and without redistribution. I
urged upon the government upon the
eighth day of March last their plain
duty to hasten the taking of the census,
to bring in a redistribution hill and thus
give to every part of the country its
proper representation, and then to submit this question to the people. They
declined to hasten the census, they
declined to grant redistribution and
finally they have dissolved parliament
without even asking the opposition for
supplies necessary to carry on public
services until a new parliament shall
be enabled to grant the same. Constitutional authorities are bound to
prove tbat dissolution ought not .to he
granted without provision of necessary
supplies for the public service. We
have been ready to grant such supplies
but the prime minister during the present week announced In the house of
commons that under present conditions
the government would not even ask for
them Whenever supply has heen asked for during the present session we
have granted It without hesitation. In.
May last we granted without discussion
nearly $40,000,000 of supply, being one
fourth of the total estimates. This
amount wns sufficient to carry on the
public service up to Sept. 1 next. In
all we have granted during the present
session five-twelfths of the total estimates without discussion in order that
the public business might not be interfered with or brought into confusion.
Before Honor
gress in the work of nation building
since July 1,1887. That work has been
carried on without any such treaty or
agreement as is now proposed. One
would suppose that the government
might have been content to wait six
months longer in order that redistribution might have been accomplished
and that supplies necessary in public
fnterests might have been obtained.
But apparently the government placed
this agreement above all constitutional
considerations. But more than that
the government placed this agreement
even before Its own honor. In May
last the prime minister took cognizance
in parliament to ascertain the charge
which had heen made against one of
his ministers. He moved for a committee of inquiry, but he conferred upon that committee exceedingly limited
powers of investigation. The committee met In May last but did not then
being the actual work of Investigation. After tbe house of commons
resumed its work on July 18 no steps
were taken until I inquired the cause
of the delay. After some days a meeting of the committee took place, Tuesday, July 25 when witnesses were present in Ottawa who could have been
called to give evidence. The Conservative members of the committee urged
that the inquiry should proceed forthwith; the government through its supporters on that committee, urged an
adjournment until Tuesday, Aug. 1. An
adjournment was pressed on the ground
that Mr. Carvell, one of the government supporters on the committee had
not yet returned. There were many
other equally capable men available ln
the government ranks and his place
could easily have been supplied.
Pledge Violated
Mr. Melghen, one of the Conservative members asked for a guarantee
that parliament would be sitting on the
following Tuesday Aug, 1, so that the
inquiry could then proceed. A guarantee was given and adjournment was
then agreed to. Tbe pledge thus given
was deliberately violated by the action
of the government in dissolving parliament today. But apart from this
deliberate violation of a solemn pledge
It is a distinct breach ot constitutional
usage, that parliament should be dissolved while one of Its committees waa
engaged in the Investigation of charges
which involved the honor of a minister, or the credit and fate of a government Such a course constitutes an
alarming and dangerous precedent
which would not for one. moment be
tolerated tn the mother country. It
was the duty of the government to
close up those charges before appealing to the people and that could have
been done in one week. Several witnesses summoned by the committee are
in Ottawa ready to give their evidence
on Tuesday next. Tbat committee and
all Ub powers of inquiry will be wiped
out of exiBtence by tbe dissolution of
parliament The course of tbe government in deliberately burying this inquiry on the eve of an appeal to the
people was an outrage and manifested
in a most BtriKlng manner their utter
contempt of decent public opinion.

Sir Wilfrid's Address
Sir Wilfrid Laurier In an address to
the Canadian people says:
To the Canadian People—At all times
during the last 40 years it has been
the constant effort of all political parties in Canada to make with the United
States an arrangement for the free exchange of natural products between the
two countries. In 1854 Lord Elgin on
behalf of Canada and the Maritime pro
vinces negotiated with the United
States a treaty for that purpose which
lasted until 1866 and which, within the
memory of many still alive, was of
great advantage. Even since tbe termination of that treaty all public men
of any prominence In Canada, whatever their differences on other Canadian questions, have been unanimous
In any attempt to again secure this
free exchange of natural products, nor
is this to be wondered at, Beelng that
in the industries of agriculture, fisheries, lumbering and mining, Canada
possesses advantages not enjoyed . by
any other country on earth, and that
upon the markets secured for products
of these industries depends the growth
of our manufacturing and commercial
Interests, and the prosperity oi all
classes In the Dominion. The latest
attempt of the Conservative.party to
that end was made by Sir John Macdonald himself, who dissolved parliament In 1891 for the purpose of submitting to the electorate of Canada
the expediency of his npproaching again
the American authorities for a renewal
of the treaty of 1854.
In 1893 the intention to obtain reciprocity with the United States was
made a prominent feature of the platform of the Liberal party upon which
that party obtained power in 1896.
Renewed In Vain
After the present government took
office lt renewed in vain this offer to
the United States but meeting with
no response declared that no further
overtures of this nature would be mode
by Canada. Within the past 12 months
the president of the United States sent
to Otttowa two commissioners from
Washington for the purpose of opening
negotiations looking toward lowering
of the tariff barriers which have hitherto atood In the way of a freer exchange, of commodities between Canada and the United States. These negotiations in January last culminated
in an agreement between the two governments by which the duties of each
country on such products might be
lowered or altogether removed. This
agreement was strenuously resisted in
the United States by various interests
on the alleged ground that It was all
to the advantage of Canada and to the
detriment of the other country, but
.the view that it waB mutually advantageous to both countries finally prevailed ln congress and the agreement
stands today as an offer by tbe United
StateB to Canada of that very measure
of reciprocity which for more than 40
years has engaged tbe earnest and
constant efforts of every leading citizen and statesman. The present Conservative party in parliament seems
absolutely to reverse the life long policy of Its great leaders in fhe post,
declaring that It will oppose to the bitter end the very principle enunciated
by both Sir John Macdonald and Sir
John Thompson in the last election addresses upon which each of these
statesmen ever appealed to the Canadian people. Not content to debate
this proposition upon its merits the
Conservative party in tbe house of
commons bas adopted a system of obstruction to prevent any vote being
taken ln parliament by which the opinion of your representatives there could
be expressed.
Day after day when the presiding officer has tried to put the question he
has been met by diliatory motions, by
endless speeches, by obstructive devices of every kind, each p'ut forward
on some specious pretext but in reality
nothing else than to abuse the freedom
of speech in parliamentary dgbate.
Such pretenses are simply a clumsy
attempt to give some color to unwarranted and undignified obstruction. To
overcome that obstruction after a session which has already lasted eight
months would not only mean the continuation of the unseemly spectacle
presented by the opposition jn the
house of commons since the resumption of Its sittings on the 18th inst.,
but would also mean weeks and months
of wasted time and perhaps end In the
close for this season to the Canadian
producer of a free American market.
In this condition of things it has seemed to his excellency's advisers more In
accordance with the dignity of parliament, with the traditions of parliament
and with the traditions of those British
Institutions which all true Canadians
value so highly and which tbe present
opposition degrade with such a light
heart, and with tbe best Interests of
the country as a whole to remit the
Issue to the people themselves, so that
the people themselves may judge between tbe government and opposition
and declare whether tbey have changed tbir mind or whether they are still
ln favor of reciprocity In natural products, and whether they will or will
not bave the American market for the
promising crop soon to be gathered In
Canada.
The issue, my fellow countrymen, Is
In your bands and to your decision bis

Imperil British Connection
It has been alleged by tbe opposition
that this agreement if consummated,
would Imperil connection with the
mother country, and finally bring the
annexation of Canada to tbe United
States. It is impossible to treat such
an argument with any kind of respect,
if indeed it can be dignified with the
name of argument, for if it has any
PURIFIEDJIS BLOOD
Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills
Healed Mr. Wilson's Sores
When the sewers of the body—bowels,
kidneys and skin ducts—get clogged up,
the blood quickly becomes impure and
frequently sores break out over the body.
The way to Ileal them, as Mr. Richard
Wilson, who lives near London, Ont.,
found, is to purify the blood. He
writes:
"For some time I had been in a low,
depressed condition. My appetite left
me and I soon began to suffer from indigestion. Quite a number of small sores
and blotches formed all over my skin. I
tried medicine for tlie blood and used-
many kinds of ointments, but without
satisfactory results. What was wanted
was a thorough cleansing of the blood,
and I looked aliout in vain for some medicine that would accomplish this.
At last Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills
were brought to my notice, and they are
one of the most wonderful medicines I
have ever known. My blood was purified in i very short time, sores healed up,
my Indigestion vanished. Tbey always
have a place in my home and are looked
upon as the family remedy,"

the system thoroughly. Sold by all

WAR   CORRESPONDENT   SAYS

NEW YORK, July 31—James F. J.
Archibald, war correspondent who has
Been service with 20 armies and can
speak with authority on military equipment arrived today from Europe and
declared that undoubtedly there would
be war between France and Germany.
His views are pronounced.
"My belief that there will be war,"
said Mr. Archibald, "is based upon the
fact that Germany cannot back out
from her position, even though it Is not
a righteoUB one, without the government losing its prestige at home. This

Girl Is Thankful
I am always grateful for real blessings,
and I know of nothing that I need to be
more thankful for than Newbro's Herplcide. Thousands of ladles, not only In
the United States, but all over the world,
feel the same way about lt To this wonderful scalp and hair remedy they owe
their soft,  long,  beautiful hair.
Mary J. Terry, of Lovejoy, 111., writes:
"My hair came out until there was Juut
a scanty cover for the scalp, I tried
everything I ever heard of or read about
until I finally Used Herplcide. There Is
nothing like it My head la now covered
with new hair. I shall forever praise Herpiclde."
Most hair troubles come from dandruff,
Newbro's Herpiclde removes this dandruff
by killing tbe germ which causes lt. It
also stimulates a flow of blood whloh
nourishes the follicles. The scalp being
healthy, the hair does not come out and
the new hair Is allowed to grow.
There are other preparations which they
say are "Just as good" as Herpiclde. It is
not advisable to try them. Instead of do*
lng any good they may do positive harm.
No one It ever disappointed ln Newbro's
Herpiclde. The results are always the
same, always satsfactory as Is Indicated
by the fact that Herplcide haa been sold
for years and has thousands of satisfied
friends. It Is the only genuine, original
dandruff germ destroyer. There Is nothing "Just as good."

for the French people will not countenance a grant of territory in Africa to
Germany, or else she must fight France.
France is well prepared for war. She
has nearly the finest military organization In the world. She is far ahead
of any other nation in her artillery
equipment and also in her aeroplanes.
It will be practically the first aeroplane war. The war, if it comes to tbat
will be fought on the frontier. France
will protect her shores with submarines
and aeroplanes. Germany haB stuck
to her dirigibles and these are not
nearly as serviceable in times of war

nothing of tbe secret aero flights that

THE  QUESTION.
N Now that the election is on it is
well for tbe people of the Kootenay
and Yale-Cariboo, as well ss of British
Columbia generally, to look the Issue
ot the campaign in the face. That
issue is reciprocity with the United
States. The American congress has
already endorsed the arrangement entered Into some months ago by representatives of the governments at
Ottawa and Washington respectively.
All that now is required to bring tbe
the arrangement into force is the passage of similar legislation by the Dominion government. After vainly trying to force this measure down the
throats of the opposition In the house
of commons the government decided
to appeal to the people on the question.
It is highly desirable tbat in the
contest which has resulted that people
should look at the issue from a broad
Canadian standpoint. They should try
to decide what is the best for Canada
■ as a whole, and vote accordingly. In
weighing the case the people of
the prairies should take into consideration the interests of tbe people of
British Columbia and the people of
British Columbia should try to judge
the matter from the standpoint o£ the
farmers of the prairies, and both
Should try to guage how tbe proposed
pact will affect eastern Canada, while
the people of eastern Canada should
carefully consider the position of all
sections of the west before passing
upon the matter. Not only this but all,
the people of both the east and west,
should give earnest thought to the effect that the proposed pact will have
on Canada's1 future and on imperial interests.
But in trying to take Into consideration the interests of other portions
of the Dominion, the people of any
one  district should not overlook the
situation as it affects their particular
section, for it must be remembered
that the people of Canada are now
being called upon to elect members to
represent them In parliament and ln
tbat capacity to pass upon reciprocity.
An earnest effort should be made to
elect men who, while knowing the
needs of their respective districts, are
broad enough to take Into consideration other sections of the Dominion
when dealing with what Ib undoubtedly the most important question which
has come before the Canadian people
since confederation. These men must
go to Ottawa with a clear mandate
from their respective constituents
either In favor of or opposed to reciprocity.
The questions for tbe people of
Kootenay and Yale-Cariboo, as well as
those of British Columbia generally,
to decide are whether any other portion of Canada will benefit sufficiently
through reciprocity to justify them In
voting for men to go to Ottawa to support an arrangement tbat Is manifestly detrimental to the interests of this
province and whether tbey approve a
policy which means the development
of closer relations between Canada
and the United States, possibly with
a resultant lessening of interests between Canada and tlie mother country.
These are the questions which the
people of British Columbia must
answer on election day. What will
that answer be?
Improved Ranches
58 Acres on West Arm
On the West Arm between
Nelson and Harrop we have a
first class property of 58 acres.
There Is a splendid orchard in*
eluding about 600 apple trees,
mostly bearing; 160 cherry
trees, about half bearing; also
over 100 pear, quince and peach
A good many of these trees
are 8 years old and the youngest 4 years.
This property Is well looked .
after and given the proper at*
tention consequently the fruit
trees are healthy and making
good growth. In addition to
the fruit trees there are over
1,000 strawberry plants and a
quarter acre of blackberries

each of the parties was acting.     It'
cleared up some cloudy points.
(Guelph Herald.)
Mr. Borden and his followers in opposing reciprocity realize full well that
the ratification of the agreement will
necessarily mean future agreements,
all tending to complete commercial
union. The opponents of reciprocity
In the United States are'fully seized
with this fact, and regard the struggle
on tn that country aB a struggle between the principle of protection and
the principle of free trade.
(Edmonton Journal.)
It must grieve those supporters of
tbe government who have had so
much to say about the support it has
been receiving over its trade policy
from the organized farmers of the
west to learn that the agricultural
unions of the Edmonton district held
a meeting the other day to consider
the advisability of placing a farmers'
candidate in the field against the' minister of the Interior. Evidently something more In the way of accession to
the farmers' demands Is required than
the government considers it has
granted by its actions ln playing into
the part designed for it In Mr. Taft's
tariff program. Besides there are
other things as well as tariffs that tbe
farmers are interested in.
EDITORIAL   NOTES.
The Daily News respectfully commends to the careful perusal of the
people of Kootenay and Ynle-Cariboo
the interview given by Mr, James J.
Hill of the Great Northern railway at
St. Paul tbe day that reciprocity passed the American senate,
Taft couldn't wait and so Sir Wilfrid Laurier brought on the election
without waiting for a redistribution,
which would bave given British Columbia her proper representation in
the next parliament.
Twenty years ago, or in1 the election
of 1891, unrestricted reciprocity, or
commercial union with the United
States, was the policy of Sir Wilfrid
Laurier. Apparently he has not
changed bis views but for political
reasons he does not now dare to go
so far in Mb open declarations as he
did then. This reciprocity arrangement of his, however, Ib but the thin
edge of the wedge toward a realization of hiB old dream of ..commercial
union.
The announcement that the council
has made another purchase of city debentures, this time to the extent of
$40,000, giving a total of $70,000 worth
bought back this year, will be welcome
news to the people of Nelson. The difference between the interest which
these debentures bear and the interest
which the bank allows on the city's
sinking fund will make a nice, tidy
saving to the cify.
The other members of the school
board bave refused to accept Dr.
Arthur's resignation, so that the matter of a 'by-election between him and
Dr. Jones Is apparently disposed of.
This being so, The Daily News would
respectfully urge that all the members
of tbe school board make an effort to
get together and conduct business in
a little more seemly way than has prevailed during tbe past few months.
Why should not Canada work out
her own destiny, trade and otherwise,
untrammelled by any entangling alliance with tbe United States, the ambition of a large portion of whose
people is the ultimate absorption of
the Dominion?
Press Comment
. (Lethbrldge Herald.)
Some of the papers are howling that
the board of trade conferences at Macleod ln its efforts to settle the strike
was futile. The Idea is wrong. No
one expected that the situation, which
haB had the consideration of a capable
conciliation board for nearly three
months, could be definitely decided by
any gathering in a few hours, The
meeting did at lot of good In that it
brought out and showed the public
through their representatives at tbe
meeting the exact ground   on   which

FASHIONS AND FADS
Tlie parasol is an accessory that is
becoming more and more firmly established In fashion's favor, and the newest ones are in the fetching balloon
shape that lias just- come over from
Paris.
A few years ago all mourning millinery was supposed to look as If It had
just come from a funeral. Nowadays
some of the prettiest of all the hats
are to be found in the mourning millinery   collections.
Separate skirts are strictly tailored,
and those that do not show the panel
effect are either cut'perfetcly plain,
trimmed only with stitching, or bave a
slmuated tunic effect, obtained by the
use of bias bands,
There is not particularly much tp
say about the new shapes of hats displayed by Paris modistes. A new sailor
shape, with rounded crown on top and
broad brim has lately made its appearance, trimmed solely with a five-inch
bias band of velvet, neatly affixed on
the left side with a bow and turn-under of velvet. These hats, generally
white with some vivid colored trimming, have a band of straw to match,
the garniture enframing the brim
about a couple of Inches in breadth, and
will make pretty morning and seaside
hats, shady and smart or chic and serviceable at the same time.
Summer wraps and cloaks of all
kinds are more than usually good this
year, and they run the gauntlet from
the severest and most conventional of
tailored dust coats to the most fantastic of little mantles and short coats.
The reversible coat, which was an unusual thing at the beginning of tbe
season, is often seen now both in satin
and in wool and has Its practical value. The woolen models are invarlbly
of two-faced cloth, such materials being supplied In great variety and beauty by the foreign manufacturers. The
reversible coat of satin Ib made both
in the double faced satin and In satin
of one color lined with satin of contrasting color, the latter being, of
course, considerably the warmer of
the two and therefore less satisfactory
for hot weather purposes.
Double-faced 'fine broadcloth is
lovely too in white and color. In
place of black satin, which used to be
extremely fashionable for long coats.
French makers now often use various
Bhades of light blue, taupe, bronze
green, raisin, etc.
Semitransparetot long coats of colored marquisette or chiffon embroidered In self color or bordered by self
color satin or velvet are good looking
when worn over white or harmonizing
colors, and one of tbe novelties of the
season is the lingerie long coat, whose
fine foundation is usually almost hidden by insert laces and embroidery,
Some of the summer wraps touch
the floor, while others are diminutive affairs that are merely thrown
over the shoulders. Usually the material is transparent, or, if not transparent, so 8oft,thln and limp that lt
gives the suggestion of transparency.
Tawny brown is a favorite color for
handsome wraps for wear over smart
afternoon frocks. LaBt summer brown
waB aB dead as a last year's fashion
magazine. Brown linens and foulards
could be picked up for a song. Brown
ln a garment costing over three figures was unheard of. But now all the
brown shades are back in high favor
and the choice ranges from buff down
through mustard, tobacco and wood
browns to a rich seal.
What In the springtime promised to
be a fad has developed into a fashion.
This is the taffeta coat which Is worn
with plain and striped skirts. It is
usually of a vivid color, either solid or
iridescent. The skirt Is usually in
white serge or lingerie. The coats are
in all the fruit reds, in the purple of
tbe plums, in leaf greens and tobacco
brown. It Is an attractive idea for
the woman who has a separate white
skirt and does not wish to get a short
coat tbat can be worn only aB a part
of a suit.
The tunics are becoming longer as
the season advances, and in some
cases nearly reach the hem of tbe underskirt. Beneath these tunics at
tinges a kind of quaint cuirass of old-
lace may be descried, with the upper
portion of the corsage and enwrapping
muslin bias folds of three shades or
different colors matching those of the
dresa, or they are turned back with a
revers of lace and edged with a narrow line of velvet.
There Is a decided preference for
evening gowns of gray, the shades be*
ing, of course, those that are at best

not ^favored, though combined 'with
cerise in various ways and embroidered in silver it has found some admirers.
The wide Japanese sash is a piquant
and charming finish for dainty summer frocks. It is fastened high in the
back,, bas enormous loopB or bows and
is usually of some contrasting or deeper colored silk or satin than the gown
Itself.
Many of the new paraaols are in
bordered effects—pongee silks with
bands of Persian or Dresden satin or
perhaps a border of plain colored taffeta.
LABOR   NOTE8.
The Machinest' union in Vancouver,
in common with other Pacific coast
cities, Is still on strike in, an effort to
establish an eight hour work day.
The International Is backing the fight
with liberal strike pay, and the strikers are-doing as consistent picket duty
today as the day the lockout occurred,
over a year ago. John Tracy, a district organizer from Denver, Colo., is
at present on the ground and making
an effort to follow, up the work done
iby other representatives of the organization.
The concluding paragraph of the
convention call of the Trades and Labor congress of Canada, which convenes at Calgary on Sept. 11, pays the
west a left handed compliment in these
words: "In summoning thla convention your executive council cannot too
s'mngly emplmsize the necessity of a
large representation of delegates at
Calgary. Times are progressing and
tbe labor movement must Imbibe some
of the freshness and vigor that animates our western brothers. The problems of the movement are becoming
more complex and require tbe best efforts of the best minds,"
"Calgary Trades and Labor council
is working assiduously to bring to success the coming convention of the
Canada's Trades and (Labor congress,"
Bays the labor page of the Morning Al-
bertan. Some difficulty Is being experienced In making termB with the C.
P. R. for an .excursion train to the national park at Banff during convention
week by the central labor body entertainment committee, but hope is still
held out for an agreeable consummation of the proposal. A suitable convention hall, centrally located, haa
been arranged for. Besides .the congress convention the activities of Calgary unionists also center round the
building of a labor temple, and the establishment of a weekly or mothly labor paper, owned and published by
the central labor body; Vancouver's example being the goal. Recent reports
show 30 unions affiliated with Calgary's Trades and Labor council, and
a few others still on the outside.
Strangely enough, both the president
and secretary are members of the
Bricklayer's union.
Stereotypes and Electrotype™ union
No. 109, is one of the latest additions
to the organized labor movement at
Calgary.

EDMONTON CITIZENS
WITHOUT WATER
Another Mishap at Civic Plant—Main
Bursts and Floods Pump—Danger
to Health.
EDMONTON, Alta., July 31.—Edmonton has been a dry city for the
last 24 hours and from present indications It looks as though several more
days would have to elapse before there
Is any more water for the citizens.
Late last night a big 20-lnch main
burst in the pumping station and
flooded out the 6,000,000 gallon pump.
The engineer on duty had a close call
as the pump is placed in a pit 40 feet
deep and the water flooded that 25
feet before the water was shut off.
Citizens are suffering today and the
health authorities say, if the water is
off many days, there will be serious
danger of a typhoid epidemic. All the
water wagons in the city are busy
carrying a supply of drinks to the
thirsty citizens. Employees at the
Misericordla hospital did not know
that the water was turned off and the
fires were kept going under the boilers, with the result that they exploded.
Several hundred dollars' worth of
damage was done but fortunately no
one was hurt.

Cigars, $72.90; raw leaf tobacco,
$188.16; malt, $570; spirits, $2,317.28.
The amount for July of last year was
$2,478.37.
The amount collected for customs
dues at the port of Nelson was $10,

HANDLING CANADA'S
COLOSSAL   HARVEST
Splendid   Problem   Facing   Financiers,
Grain Growers, Shippers and Merchants—Banking   System.
One of the great financial problems
with which Canada is confronted is the
financing of the harvest, which promises to be .greater than it has. ever
been In the  past.
A country with a harvest such as
Canada expects to put in the market
this year needs a very considerable
volumn of currency to meet the demands upon it. The necessity for getting the larger part of the crop moved
Into the consuming centers before the
close of navigation is pretty fully realized. This Is the principal work that
keeps three trans-continental railways
busy in the autumn.
The Canadian banking system has
been specially designed to meet such a
condition as will shortly manifest itself. The right of note Issue equal to
the paid up capital Is accorded the
chartered banks without any requirement of reserve, confidence being
placed in each banking company's appreciation of the need of retaining absolute trust and keeping well within
the limits of safety. There is Indeed
beyond this a provision for an emergency issue to be retired within a
specified length of time should the
necessity for it occur.
The Dominion makes no charge for
this privilege of note issue further than
the requirment that a large proportion
of bank reserves be held In Dominion
legal tender redeemable notes. When
the west makes a very great demand
for Its crop movement It may mean
withdrawal by the banks of a considerable amount of accomodation from
the ordinary trade channels. Only
once, in the year 1906, a great crop
year, was there any difficulty In meeting the situation. It is remembered
that in that year men of standing with
perfectly   sound   contracts even from

Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada's great statesman, stands In a

Hon. George Brown, Sir Oliver Mowatt, Sir Charles Tupper and the

to form one great Dominion, the 44th birthday of which we celebrated on July 1st.
The different faces are clearly shown and the attitudes are na*
tural and lifelike. On the panel below are printed the names' and
a few facts about each, the whole forming a very valuable and complete record.
All the members of this great group have passed away with the
single exception of Sir Charles Tupper, but their work lives after
them.

school boards and municipalities were
obliged to (throw them) up through
failure to get the banking accomodation tbey required.
Since that year Canada has grown,
the west has grown, and the banks
have grown. Let ub glance at the
changed situation.
In the Canadian west there are
357,000,000 acres of land known to he
capable of producing wheat and other
cereals. Five years ago less than 50,-
000,000 acres had been sown with
wheat, and the total cutivated lanci
for all purposes did not exceed 10,000,-
000 acres. This season of 1911 10,200,-
000 acres have been sown with wheat,
4,678,000 with oats, 1,160,000 with barley, and 751,822 acres with flax—a total In grain crops alone of 16,779,822
acres; the acreage In roots and cultivated grasses ts 263,491—a grand total
under cultivation of 17,043,317 acres.
The acreage under- cultivation has
therefore increased rapidly, more especially In view of the scarce population; hut comparison should be made
with the land still to be cultivated—
nearly 340,000,000 acres.
Notwithstanding this small area of
cultivated wheat land in comparison
with the possible whole, the wheat crop
of the Canadian west is admitted to
be one of the leading factors in the
world, and therefore the most valuable
for mixing with the inferior wheats.
The present season is one of great
promise, and, if fulfilled, the Canadian
west will have for shipment out of
the country, It Is claimed at least
160,000,000 bushels of wheat, besides
45,000,000 bushels of oats, 12,200,000
bushels of barley and 7,736,00 bushels
of flax. Five years ago the exportable surplus of wheat was 65,849,940
bushels, while oats and flax were not
exported to any great extent.
The value of the wheat crop five
years ago was $61,711,299; for 1910 it
was approximately $19,350,000 (final re
turns are not yet in). At tbe price of
October wheat on June 15 tbe crop now
growing, if reaped under favorable
conditions will represent a value of
$176,500,000, that Is, 200,000,000 bushels
at 88% cents. For the handling of the
wheat crop millions of dollars are annually distributed to country branches
of the great chartered banks, which
form a complete network over three
wheat-producing  provinces.
To store and move the wheat crop in
the west Is a gigantic task, and Involves an enormous amount of capital.
It is estimated that at least 60 per cent
of the crop should be moved to the
eastern terminals and seaboard before
Inland navigation closes for the year.
Five years ago It required 47,000 cars
to move this proportion, this year it ia
estimated that 145,084 cars will be required, and that each car will travel
an average of 750 miles after It Is
loaded before it reaches the head of
the Great Lakes. These figures give
some idea of the investment of the
railways In rolling stock for the movement of wheat alone.
There are 1,870 elevators In the prairie provinces, with a total storage capacity of 59,227,300 bushels, representing an investment of $15,991,371 for
bufldingB alone. At the head of the
lakes there is a storage capacity of
25,700,400 bushels, which cost $9,196,-
140 to erect. The Investment therefore for (Interior and lake terminal
storage Is $25,187,511. To . thiB must
be added the costly equipment at
Montreal, where there Is 3,000,000
bushels of storage capacity and five
miles of conveyor belts, making lt
possible to load 14 vessels without
their moving from their original
berths.
The growing of wheat in the prairie
provinces has not been without its
drawbacks, its failures and Its disappointments, but In the 38 years
it has been carried on, it may be remembered with comfort, that there
bas never been a total failure of crop.
There are elements of chance in
wheat growing as there are In every
other business, but the farmer who bas
cultivated faithfully, sown carefully,
reaped diligently, has never lacked
bread and seed and something for profit. In a grain belt which Is roughly 850
miles long and 450 to 500 miles wide
it Is not possible to hope for ideal conditions over the entire area every year,
but no wheat growing country In the
world has a finer record for uniform
production than the Canadian west.
It will he seen the situation presents
certain features of a more stupendous
character than bave ever been faced
before. There is no reason to doubt
that the banks will have likewise devel-

CHIEF EFFECT
OF RECIPROCITY
American View Significant—Will Pre
vent British Imperial Federation
James J.  Hill  Pleased.
Just how the average American regards the proposed reciprocity arrangement 1b shown hy an interview
given at St. Paul by James J. Hill of
the Great Northern Railway the day
that reciprocity passed the United
States senate. This interview was sent
out In the form of a despatch, which
reads as follows:
"James J. Hill, chairman of the
board of directors of the Great Northern Railway company, following the
passage of the reciprocity agreement
by the United States senate, declared
tonight, ln effect, that this country
bad profited more by what it had
'prevented than by what it had gained.' In the passage of the measure
the venerable railroad builder saw
tbe last vestige of what he Is pleased
to term an 'Imperial trade federation'
disappear before the march of an un-
trammeled market,
"It Is not what we have gained by
the reciprocity treaty that Is most important, but what we have prevented,"
said Mr. Hill. "In the comment on
the treaty, when it was pending, nearly every argument for it spoke of the
good lt would bring—and it will bring
good.
Imperial  Federation.
"But the good that it will bring Is
only the smaller consideration of the
question. What would have happened
if we had not passed the treaty? There
would have been a revival of a move
for Imperial federation and if we had
refused to trade with our good neigh-
bora we should have been very sorry
for it, for the opportunity was before
us to make a favorable agreement with
Canada and It would not have been
before ns again for many years.
"That Is why I say that while the
treaty will mean much good for both
the United States and Canada—and I
believe it will stimulate trade on both
sides and that it will not be long before every one will see Ub benefits and
see that the wise tning to do was to
act favorably upon- It.
"There Is not the slightest doubt
that the situation was such that had
the vote in the senate heen against it
the report would have gone over the
world and would have stimulated activity elsewhere for obtaining trade
that we are in the beBt geographical
position to handle and in England It
would have meant the beginning of
action for such Imperial trade federation as would nave shut us out.
Not Hurt Canada.
"Will it hurt Canada? Not a bit of
It. It will be of great benefit to
Canada. There never was any more
reason why there should be a line of
customs houses along the northern
Minnesota border and Montana border
or the border of eastern Canada than
there Bhould. be between Minnesota
and Wisconsin or New Tork and Pennsylvania."

ANOTHER SATURDAY
FORGERY WORKED
A.   Audet   It   Victimized   by   Cook's
Helper Who Gets Out of City
Before Discovery.
Another Saturday night forger got
in his work last week-end. The victim was A. Audet, of the Nelson cafe,
who cashed a bad check for Claude
Williams, who, as usual, ln cases of
this kind, left the city on Sunday
morning long before the paper could
be presented at the bank and a discovery of the bunco game, made, and
is a loser to the extent of $64.75.
The check was drawn on W. E. C.
Koch, for whom Williams bad worked
as cook's helper, and was found to be
forged directly it was presented to
the bapk.
Investigations by the city police yesterday showed that Williams left on
the Crow boat on Sunday morning
bound for the United States.
ThiB is a case on exactly the same
lines as that of W. H. Stewart, who
was successful a couple of Saturdays
ago In passing off two valueless
checks on the Hudson's Bay company
and the Klondyke hotel.
Saturday Is an ideal evening for
such work from the point of view of
the crook as the banks do not open
till Monday morning and by that time
it is possible to bave escaped many
miles to the south of the international
boundary line.
After these two cases many merchants In the city have decided to
make a rule not to cash any checks
except for persons of known good
character and financial stability on
Saturday nights.

GRANTED MILLION PATENT8
WASHINGTON, D. C, July 8L-One nun
dred and twenty-one years ago today the
United States granted its first patent. One
week from tomorrow the patent office
expects to issue patent No. 1,000,000.   The
cover a new rubber tire with special features designed primarily for use on motor
cars.
To Samuel Hopkins of Vermont belongs
the honor of having received the first
patent. This was granted July SI, 1790,
and was for a device for making pot and
pearl ashes, which are the matter remaining after evaporation when vegetable matter Is refined In a crucible, the
extractive substance being burned ■ off
and dissipated.
The patent issued to Mr. Hopkins, however, was not patent No. 1, so far as the
records go, for several thousands of patents were Issued by the government before lt began numbering them. John Buggies took out patent No. 1 for a steam
engine designed to run on an Inclined
plane. The date of this patent was July
28. 1836. This was 46 years after the first
patent Issued to Mr. Hopkins and in the
meantime nearly 10,000 other patents had
been granted by the young government

INQUIRY INTO BEER INDUSTRY
WASHINGTON, D. C, July 81.-Wlth a
view to ascertaining juat what Ingredients
the brewers of the United States use ln
the manufacture of beer, ale, porter and
stout, a series of Important hearings was
commenced ln this city today by the board
of food and drug Inspection of tho department of agriculture. One of the points
upon which the board desires light Is the
meaning of the terms "lager" and "bock"
as applied to beer. The hearings are also
likely to determine whether any domestic
brews are masquerading under the names
of foreign products. Master brewers from
many parts of the country have been summoned to testify.
HOU8EHOLD NOTES.
If fresh cut flowers need reviving,
place the stems into boiling water, and
by the time the water Ib cold the flowers will have revived. Cut the ends ot
the stems afresh and place in fresh
cold water.
Did you ever try raising flowers In
big gourds? If filled with sand and
rich earth the flowers will thrive and
flourlsb, as the gourds retain moisture.
Ferns, bulbs and especially fine vines,
do well ln gourds.
Ink stains, If old, can he removed
from wool by using a solution of two-
thirds alcohol and one-third sweet oil.
It they are fresh stains breathe on
them, and while damp rub gently. They
will disappear easily.
Keep a bowl of cold water near
and when leaves of crushed berries
stick to your fingers, dip your hands
into the water and they are Instantly
cleaned. This idea makes the task
of looking over fruit much easier.
Many people are not aware that
pasting court plaster on the wrong side
of the dress just as soon as the material shows signs of a crack, will prevent the tear from going further; even
When entirely broken court plaster
will heal "the little rift within the
lute."
