Reciprocity Bill Makes Progress in Senate
VOTE SMALL FOR
AMENDMENTS
Leaves Bill Much Nearer to
Final Passage—Power
to Terminate Treaty
WASHINGTON, July 10—The Canadian reciprocity bill emerged unscathed tonight from the most serious
ordeal It has yet experienced In the
Benate. The amendments by Senator
Cummins and the two by Senator Simmons of North Carolina all trying to
increase the number of manufactured
articles that will be allowed to enter
from Canada to the United States free
were voted down by large majorities.
The rote in favor of these amendments
was so ■mall that Senator Cummins
asked for only five roll calls although
he had previously announced his Intention of asking for at least 10. The
maximum vote for his amendments was
14 compared with a maximum vote of
53 against
The defeat of the Cummins amendment dears the situation In the senate
and leaves the reciprocity bill much
nearer final passage. Senator Bailey
'today offered an amendment to the
house woollen tariff bill imposing a
duty of 26 per cent on raw wool. He
will ask for the consideration of this
amendment and of his farmers' free list
amendment in the near future.
Senator Lafollette has not Introduced
bis amendments of which there are probably a considerable number but these
are expected within a short time. Senator Cummins after the first roll call on
the vote on bis amendments today expressed the conviction that lt was the
intention of the senate not to change
the agreement In any particular and
that it was useless to press the senate
for further votes. He finally allowed
the remainder of his amendments to
be voted on together without the formality of a roll call. On the proposal
to put flour and cereal products on the
list of articles which the United States
will admit free from Canada, Senator
Cummins was defeated 62 to 14. On
the proposal to put agricultural implements on this list be waB defeated 61
to 12, and on the proposal to put lumber on the list he was defeated 51 to
12. Other amendments voted down
proposed to admit free from Canada
without demanding like treatment of
American products,' automobiles, iron
ore, pig Iron, coal, rubber, cotton wool*
len, leather and silk goods. Senator
Brlstow demanded a record rote on the
rubber amendment, but senators would
not Join In the demand.
"This Is a case where the full tariff
duty is reserved for a trust controlled
product," said Senator Brlstow. "It is
evident that the senate does not care to
go on record on this matter."
"Oh, wait a while," said Senator
Stone, Democrat, with a wave of bis
hand towards his Democratic colleagues.  '
Senator Smith of Michigan, who had
previously announced his opposition to
the reciprocity agreement as a whole,
declined to vote for any; of the amendments to lt, whloh sought to put more
articles on the free list
Previous to the vote on the amendments Senator Thornton, Democrat,
said he had voted for the Cummins
free meat amendments on Saturday and
bad expected to vote for the other
amendments today. "But I am convinced of the utter futility of attempting
to pass any amendments and I do not
want to continue enacting a part in a
comedy here, so I will not vote at all."
The amendment that secured the
heaviest favorable vote was one separate from the tariff features of the
agreement tt gave the president power
' to terminate this country's part of tbe
pact if Canada should abrogate her
part. Senator Cummins, Senator Hey-
burn and others ,sald that as the bill
oame before congress Canada could terminate her part of the agreement while
this country would be compelled to
continue the reciprocity rates on Canadian goods until congress could repeal
the bill. Senator Lodge and Senator
Bacon, insisted that Canada's regard
"for the good faith*1 of the agreement
would prevent any such contingency.
TIGHT
MESS OF POTTAGE
A. S. Goodeve Delivers Splendid Address-at Revelstoke
GIVE EVERYTHING
NOTHING IN RETURN
Disadvantages of Reciprocity.
Throwing Away Tradeof
Three Continents
(Snoelal to The Dally Newa)
REVELSTOKE, B. C., July 10.—Before one of the largest audiences that
ever greeted a public speaker In this
city, A. S. Goodeve, M.P., tonight delivered an appeal to the electors of
irtevelstoke on the subject of reciprocity, characterizing it as one of the
greatest question that ever came before
me people of Canada, since, confederation, and urged them to oppose its
passage In every way.
Mr. Goodeve dealt with tbe question
from three standpoints: the coldblooded business Bide, whether it 1b
better for Canada aB a nation, and its
aspect in regard to imperial connection. As a matter of dollars and cents
the speaker produced a mass of figures
convincing in every way to prove that
tbe much boasted 90,000,000 market to
the south is nothing more than a myth,
and that the United States have covetous eyes on the great prairie provinces
as a dumping ground for their surplus
fruits.
Time was, he said, when reciprocity
would have been a good thing for Canada, but then the United States stood
off and tried to force ub to our knees.
Then we needed her money to develop
our resources, hut since, all unaided,
we have grown to be the most prosperous country in the. world, and now
they come to us and plead to be allowed in on terms they once rejected. Two
men went from this country and attempted to sell our birthright .for a
mess of pottage, giving everything
away and asking nothing in return.
"Are we going to be dominated by
two men?" the speaker asked. "They
say they are opening to ub the trade
of a continent, but I say rather let ub
not throw away the trade ot three continents which we have developed east
and west to waste our. resources on a
myth of a market to the south that
proposes to give us nothing in return."
The speaker's address was vigorously
applauded at every point. Accompanying Mr. Goodeve waB Hon, Thomas
Taylor, who briefly introduced the
.speaker as "one of the coming great
parliamentarians of Canada."

Liberals Address Meeting
on Reciprocity Issue
Hon. William Templeman and Member for
Red Deer Speak in Favor of Agreement with United States
With Heads of Departments Make Trip
of Inspection—Everything running
Perfectly, Says Mayor.
The mayor and all the members of
the city council, together with the city
electrician, the city engineer and the
city clerk, yesterday went down to the
power plant at Bonnlngton Falls and
made an Inspection of the newly repaired second unit which is now running In perfect condition.
While being shown over the plant by
the city electrician the city fathers
were treated to a demonstration ot the
ease with which the production of
power can be changed in about two
minutes from one unit to another.
"The plant with its new coat of paint
and general appearance of cleanliness
presents a much more attractive appearance than when I laBt visited It,
and seems to be running perfectly,"
said the mayor last night.
NAMES MAY BE ADDED

All the censuB enumerators in the
city completed their work laBt night
with the exception of William Ebbs,
who will continue until this evening.
The publicity bureau will be open to
receive names of those who have not
been counted until 6 o'clock.
WILL MAKE OFFER
TO UNIONS
Special to The Daily News.
VANCOUVER, B. C„ July 20
—Independent contractors of
the city held two committee
meetings yesterday.' It was decided to make an offer to the
unions, which, it is expected,
will bring about a settlement of
the strike. They are not pre*
pared to publish their offer until they know what action the
unions will take.
A fairly large audience greeted Hon.
William Templeman and Dr. Michael
Clark, M.P. for Red Deer, at the Liberal
meeting in tbe opera house laBt night.
Beth speeches were ciiiei'ly arguments
in favor of tbe reciprocity pact though
the minister of mines touehed upon
the Oriental question and upon the
efforts that are being made in his own
department to solve the zinc problem.
H. C Hall, president of the Nelson
Liberal association, was in the chair
and amongst those on the platform
were A. B. Docksteader, E. A. Crease,
Aid, Madden, W. Rutherford, D. A.
McDonald of Greenwood, Dr. E. C.
Arthur and E. Ferguson. John Oliver
and M. A. Macdonald, who were also
announced as speakers, were not
present.
Mr. Templeman said: The Issue of
reciprocity has been precipitated on
the country, or rather the possibility of
a general election on that issue, by the
policy of the opposition in delaying the
procedlngs of parliament and obstructing the progress of supply. After a
six months' session, with a recess to
permit the premier to go to the coronation .'and the imperial conference,
we, my friend Dr. Clark ■ and I, who
were not bo fortunate as to go to England, have availed ourselves of the
opportunity to discuss in several of the
principal cities of British Columbia
this question of reciprocal trade relations with tbe United States. During
the six months that parliament has
been in session lt has been the policy of
the oppostilon to obstruct and delay
public business. I read yesterday the
speech delivered here by Mr. Goodeve
some weeks ago, and I see that he then
complained that during that six months
nothing has been done, no Important
measures dealt with, and that this was
due altogether to the mismanagement
of the government'and the lack of
business methods of the premier and
his following. No statement could be
further from the facts. A great deal
of business has been dealt with, important public measures have been furthered, over 100 very important public
bills received the assent of the governor in council. But it is nevertheless
a fact that tbe session has been unduly delayed by the obstructive tactics
of Mr. Borden and his followers. I
do not say the opposition have discussed reciprocity at undue length, but
their obstruction has been in respect
of other matters, particularly In regard
to supply and the passing of estimates
for carrying on the public business of
Canada for the next year. So that if
you have here and there in this district public works that bave not yet
been started although provision has
been made for them in the appropriations, it is because by reason of these
obstructive tactics the entire amount
has not yet been voted by parliament
and tbe minister of public works laid
down tbe rule at the adjournment that
he would not begin any such works until the full amount had been voted,
otherwise it might become necessary to
have the work stopped while In progress.
Reciprocity Issue
Now the issue of reciprocity Is embodied In an agreement between Canada
and the United States and I should
like to explain in a plain and simple
manner what this agreement is. It is
not a treaty, a tr-Zaty is a hard and fast
compact between two nations for a specific length of time and to be repealed
only after notice is given; it Is a binding thing, neither party is free to depart from it. This is a simple agreement, on the part of the United States
to amend their tariffs by removing the
duties on certain lines of goods, principally agricultural products, coming
from Canada, and on the part of Canada that we will remove our duties on
similar articles coming from the United
States. There 1b also another schedule
In which the duties although not entirely removed, are reduced and the agreement in both cases Is entirely reciprocal. For many years it* has been a
grievance tn Canada that the duty on
our goods going into the United States
was very high, in some cases two or
three times the duty imposed on the
same articles on the Canadian side, and
our people bave clamored for many
years to have these American duties
reduced. They have said whenever
more friendly relations with the United
States have been talked about: "Let
the United States first reduce their
duties to the Canadian level." Mr.
Fielding and Mr. Paterson met the delegates from the United States and made
an agreement whloh has been ratified
by congress and only requires now the
approval of the senate of the United
States and of the parliament of Canada
to become law—our advices are that it
will undoubtedly pass the senate at
Washington within the next two weeks
and if it ever gets to a vote in our parliament I can assure you it will certainly pass by the full majority of tbe
government, or nearly bo, and the effect of that agreement is exactly In
accordance -with that demand. As I
have said it is a simple agreement—it
may last forever, it may last one day—
we can repeal it whenever we please
we can amend our tariff whenever we
wish to do so, but of course It is presumed that having given full consideration to the matter this agreement to remove or reduce the duties on certain
products will remain in force for a
considerable time, being as we believe
in the interests of both countries.
Let us consider for a moment its
effect on a few articles and see how it
works out. I wild select articles that
are moat familiar to everyone. On
certain agricultural products the duty
has been removed; on others reduced.
On agricultural machinery there is a reduction of from 2 1-2 to 6 per cent;
but on no other line of manufactured
goods Is the duty reduced, so our manufacturers have no cause to fear. Take
cattle; at the present time the duty on
cattle coming into' Canada Is 25 per
cent—that 1b wiped out. On cattle going into the United States the duty has
been 27 1-2 per (cent—that is to be
wiped out and both will be free. Take
apples, that I believe Is a live question
here. At present the duty coming into
Canada is 40 cents a barrel, going Into
the United States 75 cents a barrel.
Both are wiped out . So on through
a large list of agricultural products,
the duties on both sides are wiped out.
In almost every case the present duties are higher going into the United
States than coming into Canada. On
the articles included in that list the
duties according to the importations of
last year amounted to $2,500,000—that
means we are removing from the consumers of this country a tax of $2,500,-
000 a year and in the same way the,
United States Is removing a tax upon
their people of $5,000,000 because their
duties were twice as much. That briefly stated is the agreement, and it Is
one that to my mind will appeal to the
common sense and business Instincts
of the people of this country, and I
feel Confident that not only will parliament ratify It but if are required to go
to the country during the coming fall
or a year from the coming fall the
people of Canada will ratify it by a
very large majority.
Effect on British Columbia
Let me Indicate briefly what I believe will be the effect of this agreement on some of the principal industries of British Columbia, because I
am more familiar with this province
than with the rest of Canada. Take
first the question of fruit—I confess
there seems to be more alarm in the
minds of the fruit growers than there
is In any other industry. They seem
to fear that the larger fruit growers
of Washington and Oregon may prejudicially affect the British Columbia
growers' markets. Having studied the
matter to the best of my ability and
with the information at hand I am
bound to say that while here and there
there may be a slight disturbance of
conditions I am convinced that on the
whole a benefit will inure to the fruit
growers of British Columbia. In the
first place British Columbia grows better fruit than the country Immediately
to the south, It has a better climate and
better soil for the production of apples.
At present lt has a limited market In
the prairie provinces; growing rapidly
It Is true. British Columbia fruit production has increased enormously in
the last five or six years but it Is not
yet supplying the market of the northwest—I question if it is even supplying
the market of BritiBh Columbia itself.
1 have In my hand a statement by an
expert fruit grower, tra officer of the
provincial government which I shall
presently read as to the enormous possibilities of the northwest market. Here
in British Columbia we have better
soil, better climate, as cheap labor and
far cheaper land than they have south
of the boundary. Then lf under this
agreement we have opened to us the
market of the entire United States as
well as the market of Canada, surely
the fruit growing industry Is able to
hold Its own and will be greatly benefitted by the wider market   Mr. Bran

drith, who has been for years In charge
of exhibitions of the fruit grown In this
province throughout the east and elsewhere on behalf of the provincial gov-
i ernment in an interview in Winnipeg
said: "If all the land in British Columbia of which we now know as capable
of producing Iruit were planted In
fruit of all sorts, in 20 years from now
the whole area would not produce more
than is necessary to supply the market
of the northwest if the population continues to Increase at the present rate
and to the capacity of the country."
That statement was made a few years
ago. The population of the prairie
provinces has Increased since then at
a very much greater rate than when
that prophecy was made. Mr. Bran-
drith was asked the other day if he
would maintain that statement and he
said: "Yea, If every acre of land suitable for fruit growing In BritiBh Columbia were put under cultivation it
could not produce more than enough
to supply Alberta and Saskatchewan
alone." And surely with the removal
of the duty of 75 cents a barrel on the
United States side, with our superior
advantages we can find a market in the
United States also, at least for our surplus and better quality fruit Hon. J.
H. Turner, our agent general in London, has referred to the agreement in
tills way: "My view of the situation Is
that the large fruit growers of British
Columbia have got so far advanced and
so control the market that they will
not suffer materially from reciprocity
and as I think it is generally conceded
that the fruit grown in British Columbia Is of better quality than that grown
in the country to the south the farmers
of the province may look for continued prosperity."
Price of Land
If land In the United States In somewhat similar position to land In the
Immediate vicinity of 'Nelson Is sold at
prices at least 100 per cent higher than
here, as I am advised by many good
authorities Is the case, have you anything to fear from reciprocity? I understand that recently a ranch was
sold in the Immediate vicinity of Nelson at a price representing about $750
an acre.
A Voice—Give the name.
Foster's ranch. Does that look as
if reciprocity is going to ruin the fruit
growing industry? I will give you another illustration. I have It on good
authority that Mr. Martin Burrell, the
fruit expert of the Conservative party
in this district—and a very capable one
he Is—had a ranch near Grand Forks
that he had offered for sale for some
time before this reciprocity agreement
was arranged, and he could not sell it
But since-the announcement of the reciprocity pact he has sold It for $10,000
more than he had offered it for before.
I think there was some American capital went into that purchase, and Mr.
Burrell was able to make the deal because of this agreement going Into effect. Therefore the result will be that
land values In the neighborhood of Nelson will rise to the same point as land
values In the neighborhood of Colville
and the owners of these lands will be
benefitted in that measure.
Effect on Lumber Industry
Now, another Industry that I think
will derive enormous benefit from this
aorangement is'the lumber business.
At present there Is a duty of $1.25 per
thousand againBt the Canadian lumberman who Bhips his product Into the
United States. A very large portion of
the cut in eastern Canada especially
goes into the United States. Will not
the removal of this duty be a great
advantage to the lumbermen of Canada? Ever since the prairie provinces
began to fill up, from the time the Liberal government came into power In
1896, It has been the cry of the British
Columbia lumbermen that theirs waa
the only industry that was not protected, for there had been no duty on
American lumber coming Into Canada
for 18 years; the duty was taken off
then by the Conservative government
in the Interests of the farmers of the
northwest and the present government
did not feel warranted in relmposing
that duty. The British Columbia lura-
ibermen said: "We have to pay duty
on our supplies, our machinery and we
alone have no protection. If you can't
put a duty on American lumber for
goodness sake get them to take their
tax off ours so we have a chance to
get Into the United StateB market"
Now, that Is exactly what has been
done. British Columbia haB the best
lumber in the world, particularly the
big fir lumber of the coast. Much of
It Is shipped into the United States
now notwithstanding the duty—surely
British Columbia lumber will find a
ready market there when there is no
duty against it. I read in a Seattle
paper where the Puget Sound lumbermen were strongly opposing this feature of the agreement, pointing out that
at present California is a great consumer of Puget Sound lumber but with
the removal of the duty and the shipping facilities the British Columbia
lumbermen enjoy they would absorb
that entire market.
Coal and Coke
Another industry that concerns us is
the production of coke and coal as
well. At present there iB a duty on
coke entering the United States of 20
per cent or about $1.20 a ton. Last
year we shipped into the States from
the Crow's Nest and Alberta 60,000 to
70,000 tons—not a very large quantity
but the reaBon was owing to the 20
per cent duty. Now with our inexhaustible fields of good coking coal and
the duty removed, surely that is a trade
that will grow enormously and greatly
benefit this province.
Fisheries
But on the fishery question I believe
that greater benefit will accrue to this

NARROW ESCAPE
Daughter of Drowned Steward
Plays Part of Heroine-
Vessels In Collision
SAULT STE MARIE, Mich., July 10.
—Three persons lost their lives and
33 others had hairbreadth escapes from
death today, when the steamer John
Mitchell of Chicago sank In Lake Superior today. The Mitchell collided
with the William H. Mack of Cleveland
In a dense fog off Vermillion point.
Second Mate Archie Causely, Steward
A. L. Clemens and Watchman George
Austin, of the crew of the steamer John
Mitchell, were missing when the Mack
arrived here with the survivors of the
Mitchell, and it Is believed they were
drowned.
Besides her crew of 27, the Mitchell
carried the wife and daughter of
Steward Clemens, who were listed as
Mitchell helpers, and seven passengers
from Cleveland, Mrs. William Grant,
Miss Alberta Grant, Mrs. O. S. Smith,
Mrs. A. A. Willlcut, Mrs B. Grant, Miss
Clara Bundachus and Mrs. Grant. All
the passengers and the rest of the
crew climbed to the deck of the Mack
by means of a ladder from the stern
,of the Mitchell, most of them escaping
in their night clothes and losing their
personal effects. Three men and three
women, however, left the Mitchell In
a boat, which soon capsized, Miss Fay
Clemens, daughter of the lost steward,
proving herself a heroine in the rescue
of her fellow passengers In the Bmall
boat Miss Clemens called to the crew
of the Mack to throw fhem a line and
fastened lt to the opposite side of the
boat in such a way that the Mack
crew, on the other end of the line,
were able to pull the yawl right side
up.
Among the six, all of whom were
included In those saved In the wreck,
was Miss Clemens' disabled mother,
whose leg had been broken when she
was struck by a small boat when it
was being lowered to the Mitchell's
deck. The Mitchell was struck amid-
ship on the port side and sank in
about seven minutes after the collision,
and the Mack had a 20-foot square
torn In her bow. Tbe Mitchell was
loaded with coal bound for Superior,
Wis., and the Mack was bound down
the lakes with a load.
NO FEAR OF TROUBLE OVER
MOROCCAN DIFFICULTY
PARIS, July 10—While the strictest
secrecy is being maintained as to the

at present of strained relations between
the two powers. In addition to the
whole-hearted support of Great Britain,
Russia has spared no efforts in behalf
of France. On two occasions at St.
Petersburg and Berlin respectively Russia bas made known her complete
agreement with the French point of
view. Moroccan Minister Mokhri, who
is now in Paris said in an interview
today that tbe German, like the Spanish

(Special to The Daily News.)
VANCOUVER, B. C, July 10.—Burn3,
Jordan & Welch, subcontractors for
building the 14-mile section of the
Canadian Northern from Yale to a
point 14 miles eastward, shipped from
Vancouver today the first consignment
of its outfit, including horses, graders
and dump carts. The first construction
camp will be established tomorrow and
a few weeks will see nine others located at different points on both sides
of the Fraser river. In order to provide access to the grade the Fraser
river will be crossed by wira suspension bridges, which the contractors intend erecting at their own expense. A
number of these bridges will be strong
enough to sustain the weight of horses
and grading outfits. The Hope-Kam-
loops division alone is expected to result in the circulation of $1,000,000 a
month in Vancouver for the next 12
months.
Grand Trunk Pacific.
Colllngwood Screiber, the government engineer, has returned to Vancouver from an official trip of inspection over the route as far as a point
12 miles east of Hazelton. He Bays
faster progress of construction work Is
now being made owing to the increased
supply of labor. Over 75 per cent cf
the grading between Copper river and
Hazelton has been completed. Kails
are expected to reach Hazelton early
in December. AH sections between
Hazelton and Aldermere are now under
construction.
Mr. Screiber proceeds via Edmonton
to the Yellowhead pass and Te'.e
Juane Cache to inspect the work. The
line will be graded to Tete Juane Cache
by December from the Yellowhead
pass. Ralls have been laid to Athabasca river, 200 miles west of Edmonton, and less than 30 from the Yellowhead pass. There is no scarcity of
labor, over 2,500 men being employed
by various subcontractors.
Foley, Welch & Stewart are also engaged building a branch from the main
line of the Grand Trunk Pacific near
Edson to the Brazeau coal fields. The
railway company expects to build COO
miles of brancn lines on the prairies
this year.
SIR FREDERICK BORDEN

MILLION DOLLARS
FOR IRON PROPERTY
Duluth   Syndicate  Purchasers  of Valuable Deposits—Represent Billion
Dollar Corporation.
(Special to The Daily News.)
VANCOUVER, B. C, July 10.—The
Puget Sound Iron company has sold
the famous magnetite Iron deposits on
the northwest coast of Tuxeda island
to Duluth parties, who are said to have
acted on behalf of the United States
Steel corporation. The consideration
was $1,000,000, final payments having
been made within the past six weeks.
The Duluth syndicate, headed by ex-
Senator Hawkins, have acquired by
lease 20,000 acres of iron lands in
Comox district from the E. & N. railway, and has been developing them
for over 18 months. The senator and
his associates, accompanied by a Pittsburg mining expert, returned last week
from an inspection of the.holdings and
state that development to date has
given a tonnage In sight of at leasL
£.000,000 tons. Work Is still in progress. The impression prevails that the
Duluth people also represent some
billion dollar corporation which is
credited with the lntentiou of acquiring
the principal iron areas In British Columbia with a view to ultimately establishing iron works on this coast.
Mr. Hawkins declined to give any
detailed Information of his plans respecting the proposed steel-making
plant. The Iron deposits on Texada
Island were acquired 35 years ago by
the Puget Iron company and nre described as the most extensive in the
province.

STRAY TOPICS
OF NEW YORK
Ten Million   Dollars  Appropriated for
Schools—Police Constables Are
Found Unreliable.
NEW YORK, July 11.—The city government has at last taken a step In
the direction toward making the school
facilities of New York more adequate.
Owing to niggardly and altogether Insufficient approplations the board of
education, for many years, has been unable to build enough schools to accommodate the constantly increasing number of children in the various Bectlons
of the city. Two years ago only $1,590,-
000 was appropriated for new school
buildings, a sum altogether insufficient
considering the tremendous Increase In
school population, last year more than
$0,000,000 was appropriated for that
purpose, but even that sum was Inadequate. This year the appropriation will
be more than $10,000,000 and it 1b
hoped that by a judicious distribution
of that sum the overcrowding of the
schools two years hence will be greatly mitigated, although not entirely prevented.
Police Commissioner Waldo a has
learned a Bad and discouraging lesson.
In former years it was the custom to
send out inspectors in plain clothes to
make the rounds of the various pre-
cints for the purpose of ascertaining
whether or not the police officers were
doing their duty. Commissioner Waldo
did not like this system of espionage,
which, in his opinion, was degrading.
When he was placed at the head of
the police department he promptly
abolished the so-called "Shoo-fly" squad
and placed the roundsmen and other
police officers upon their honor. The
other night the commissioner made a
tour of the city to find out how his
"honor plan" worked out. His disappointment was great and, as tho result
of that, single trip, 60 complaints against as many policemen and higher police
officers were filed by him. The outcome will probably be a shake-up in the
police force and the restoration of the
"Shoo-fly" squad.
The New tork police force max not

be as efficient as it might be, but lt
would be unjust to place all the blame
upon the men. The system, which enables too many cooks to meddle with
the broth, is to a great extent responsible for existing conditions. The men
are expected to fulfill many duties, tri-
val in nature, but taking so much time
that other, far more important duller,,
for instance the ferretting out and arrest of criminals, are neglected. Another serlouB handicap consists in the
fact that in many caseB the police magistrates are unwilling to uphold the
policy of the police department.
Black Hand Outrages.
In the King's county hospital are two
women who were driven Into hopless
insanity by the persecution of their
families by the black band. The misdeeds of the black hand are outrages,
and It is a disgrace to the city that
the blackmailers, murderers, thieves
and robbers carrying on their nefarious
business under the name of the black
hand, are allowed to continue their
work. It is true, a few of these criminals have been caught and punished,
but there are hundreds more, as dangerous as the others, still committing
crimes of every kind without fear of
detection by the police. \
With a large, an overwhelming majority, the stalwart burgherB of Ho-
boken have declared themselves against the commission form of government. They do not believe In this newfangled system and put down their ponderous feet upon the proposition of the
"reformers."
A young man, elegantly dressed, attracted considerable attention the other
evening by stopping in front of the big
stores in the shopping district and
beating with his cane upon one of the
big plate glass windows until the latter
broke and jingled upon the sidewalk.
The Btofe was closed at the time and
the action seemed to be prompted
merely by a desire to find amusement.
He was arrested and taken to the nearest police station, where he intimated
that he was the son of an English lord,
whose name, however, he would not divulge . The police officials are of the
opinion that the young man Is Insane.
The notions some people have concerning the duties of tne police are
rather amusing at times. The other
day a woman sent a complaint to the
police department that somebody had
stolen*her evenim* paper, for which she
had paid one whole penny. She demanded that the detective force of the
city be sent out to investigate the case
and to trace and arrest the thief. However, neither the detective force nor
the police reserves of the precinct were
sent out on the case.
An Italian girl had a serious quarrel
with her Italian beau the other day.
The case was really aggravating and,
according to Italian notions, called for
the' shedding of blood. The girl had
a revolver, every chamber was loaded.
She pulled the weapon from beneath
her skirt and pointed the gun at her
untrue lover. For a moment, but only
for a moment, there was a prospect
that the Italian colony would be reduced by one bad member. But it was
not to be. The man took to his heels
and the girl, pursuing him, began to
shoot. Unfortunately not one of the
fljulletls hit the sprinting miscreant,
but when the smoke cleared away,
three Innocent passei-s-by. who lhad
been hit by as many bullets, were scattered along the road and had to be
taken to the hospital for repairs.
Of all the pupils graduated this year
from public school 110, Broome and
Cannon streets, a blind boy, Benjamin
Applcello, carried off the highest honors. His general average was close
to 97. What makes the success of the
boy even more remarkable is the fact
that he could speak but little English
when he entered the school two years
ago and that he completed the work
of four years within less than a year
and a half. It is the boy's ambition
to become a lawyer. In the fall he will
enter the De Witt Clinton high school.
Senator Gore, the blind member of the
United States senate, Is taking great
interest in the boy. The boy has a
letter from Senator Gore, in which the
latter advises young Applcello to study
law. The boy treasures that letter
and is determined to win success at the
bar.

FINE BULLDOGS
Alec Cheyne Will Make Hobby of Dog
Fancying—Animals of Prize
Winning Strain.
Alec Cheyne on Sunday night received
from England a pair of bulldogs, "Alice
Grey of Wearmouth" and "Duchess of
Penfold." Both are bred from Champion
Rodney Stone, one of the most famous
of the prizewinning bulldogs, and are
splendid specimens of their kind. With
each came a lengthy pedigree which
shows that the animals are descendants of a long Hue of the famous
"Stone" family.
They are imported by Mr. Cheyne
from from Capt. James B.. Leask of
Dpckmouth, Sunderland, England, and
were chosen by T. Stevenson of the
well known Horsforth Kennels, Leeds,
who is himself a noted breeder and
fancier of bulldogs.

BOTH  SIDES  CONFIDENT
LONDON, July 10—Great interest la
manifested in London in the field and
track sports which will take place tomorrow afternoon at the Queens club
between teams sent from the universities of Harvard and Tale, representing
the United States and teams from the
universities of Oxford and Cambridge,
representing England.
Both teams bave been training hard
for the event. The Americans are confident they will win six of the nine
events, while the Englishmen believe
the odd event will determine the victory ,as they expect to win four. England is confident of winning the 100
yard dash, the 880 yard run and the
one and two mile events and also has
strong hopes of capturing one and perhaps two of the other eyents. America
is considered superior in the high jump,
the broad jump and the hurdles. Both
are regarded as having an equal chance
in the quarter mile event and the hammer throw.
The games tomorrow will be the
fourth International contest between
tbe universities. Of the three previous
meets the United States has won two
and England one. Contrary to most
similar games, only first places count,
each victory registering one point
England won the first meet held and
the Americans the next two.

Referee  Jack   Welsh   Did   Not   Fulfil
Duties—Pontypridd Scrapper After
Wolgast's Scalp.
SAN FRANCISCA, July 10.—Whether
Ad Wolgast did or did not knock out
Owen Moran here with a foul blow In
tbe groin fight fans will soon be able
to decide for themselves. The pictures
of the fight, which- have been privately
exhibited here, are the best taken of
any recent contest. They show the
blows in the fatal thirteenth round
clearly and also establish the fact that
both Moran and Wolgast fouled repeatedly from the opening gong. The
pictures will be shown both on the Pacific coast and In the east.
Freddie Welsh's Bet.
Denouncing Cheroke Tom Jones, manager of Ad Wolgast, for misrepresenting his attitude on the proposed fight
of Labor day and hinting broadly that
Wolgast Is trying to "run out," Freddie
Welsh, the Pontypridd scrapper, today
Is doing his best here to cinch the
meeting,
Jones, before leaving for Los Angeles,
spread the Impression that the Wolgast
JJ10.000—the side bet for the Welsh
fight—was up in the hands of, Stakeholder John T. Clark, but that Welsh
had not "come across." Clark today declared that he held $1,000 In cash for
each party; that the managers had
agreed that it should go as a forfeit,
and that the remaining $9,000 of the
side bet, for which Jones has put up
a cheque, should be posted with him
30 days before the match.
Now Jones demands that the Welsh
$9,000 be put up within 10 days. To accommodate him, Welsh has cabled bis
Cardiff backer, Harry. Marks, for an
Immediate draft. He says he is determined that Wolgast shall not be alloW'
ed to dodge.

SPITBALL THEORY SEEMS
TO BE EXPLODED
The theory that the use of the spit-
ball is harmful to a pitcher's arm seems
to have been exploded. This claim was
made when Jack Chesbro was found to
be suffering with a weak arm, yet the
chances are that his trouble waB from
an entirely different cause. Surely big
Ed Walsh does not seem to bave been
affected by the spitter, for he is; still
one of the best pitchera in the circuit
and relies almost entirely on bis spit-
ball to win bis games. Cy Morgan of
the Athletics Is another who uses the
moistened delivery, and Morgan has
been pitching for some years and the
spitter is his strongest forte.
With the lively ball in use the pitcher who can prevent' the ball from hitting squarely will get away with his
game. The use of the spitter makes
It very dlfficut to guage a ball as lt
comes toward the plate and It would be
a wise move for the most of the pitchers to adopt this delivery. The time
when a pitcher could rely on his fielders has long since passed, for with the
new ball In use when it is hit squarely
the fielders cannot reach lt,

to be given up to the meet. The arrival of the delegates, nearly all of
whom are "chug-chugging" their way
to the convention city, many from

LAST   NIGHT'S   MEETING.
It is to be hoped that the Liberals
of Nelson are satisfied with last
evening's meeting. If they are their
opponents certainly should be. There
was not a single reason advanced why
, the people of the Kootenays should
change their views on reciprocity,
while Mr. Templeman's remarks showed that the fight for a white British
Columbia is still with us.
Of the speakers of the evening, It
may be said that Mr. Templeman's remarks were neither weighty nor particularly enlightening. He waB given
an attentive hearing but certainly not
a particularly appreciative hearing.
On the other hand Dr. Clarke's address
was enjoyed by everyone present, Liberal and Conservative alike, and there
were perhaps as many members of the
latter party as of the former present
at the meeting.
Dr. Clarke Is an old country free
trade doctrinaire of the most pronounced type. He believes free trade
has done great things for Great Britain
and he believes it will do equally great
things for Canada or for any other
country that adopts it. With him free
trade is a fetish. That he was in earnest last night no one would deny, but
that he is mistaken a large proportion
of.those present last night.believe as
firmly as he does the opposite. Thi^
however, did not prevent one and all
appreciating his earnestness, while his
adroit manner of making many of his
arguments and the many flashes of
humor were thoroughly enjoyed by
everyone present.

EDITORIAL   NOTES.
Dr. Clark last evening annexed all
tlie credit for the growth of Canada's
trade during the past fourteen
years for the Laurier government,
studiously avoiding the view that the
country's wonderful resources and
changed world conditions might have
any bearing on the matter. But even
granting he is right, there were a number of things which he might have explained. Why for example was Canada's trade In 1905 less than in 1004,
and why were the total imports and
exports of the Dominion In 1909 nearly
eighty million dollars less than in 190S,
the figures in each of these cases being taken from the same authority as
quoted from Dr. Clarke last evening.
The Laurier government was in power
in both 1005 and 1909 but still, to use
Dr. Clarke's expression in regard to
other years, Canada's trade grew backward In each of these years.
In his speech last evening Dr.
Clarke undertook to deal with Mr.
Goodeve's figures relating to Canada's
Imports from the United States of
$223,000,000 during 1909 and quoted a
few items in an effort to show that
there was nothing to Mr. Goodeve's
contentions in this respect, Why did
not Dr. Clarke go through the wliole
list instead of selecting a few picked
Items?
Dr. Clarke talked glowingly of what
free trade means to a country, but he
forgot to tell his audience that Great
Britain under the system which he so
much admires is making far leBs progress In the matter of trade expansion, relatively speaking, than is any
other nation or country in the civilized
world except France and Norway. To
have referred to this fact would have
interfered with his argument.
In his long argument In favor of free
trade last evening Dr. Clarke did not
explain how reciprocity would benefit
the fruit growers of the Kootenay.
There was probably a good reason for
this In the fact that everyone present
laBt evening knew that It will not
do so.
Hon. William Templeman was guilty
of a deliberate and coldblooded falsehood last evening when he Btated on
the public platform in the opera house
that the Conservative candidate in
Victoria in the last Dominion general
election had forged a telegram from
Mr. R. L. Borden in order to win the
election. It waa not any telegram,
forged or otherwise, but the desire of
the people of Victoria to get rid of
him that was the cause of Mr.
Templeman's defeat on that occasion.
Hon. William Templeman told with
great unction last evening that the
Dominion government had not given its
assent to the Japanese treaty which
comes into effect a week from today
and studiously gave the impression
thai this was as a matter of policy on
the part of tbe government. For Mr.
Templeman's information The Daily
News desires to say that a colleague
of his has written to the Japanese
government saying that the present arrangements regarding Immigration are
satisfactory and that Canada Is prepared to continue the arrangement.
The matter of the treaty has merely
been left over temporarily.
Despite anything that Mr. Templeman may say to the contrary the fact
remains that the Japanese government
fixes the number of Its people who
shall come to Canada each year. In
other words control Is in the hands of
Japan and not of Canada.
Mr. Templeman admits that the
government is considering the handing
over of control of Chinese immigration
to the government of China as has
already been done In the case of the
Japanese.
Last evening's meeting did not contain much evidence of popular feeling
in this city or district in favor of reel'
proclty.

province than in the ease of any other
industry. How it is that hitherto all
the halibut caught, with the exception
of a few hundred tons, finds its market
in the United States? Halibut is caught
in enormous quantities in our waters
by American fishermen, but I do not
think that lately there have been more
than one or two Canadian vessels catching halibut for the Canadian market,
while sailing out of Seattle there are
vessels large and small—many small
of course—over two 200, whose cargoes
all go to tbe American railways. The
New England Fish company under an
arrangement with the Canadian government—they were pioneers in the Industry—make their port at Vancouver and
have the privilege of shipping their
product in bond over the Canadian Pacific to Boston. Their trade means n
good deal to tbe city of Vancouver and
the earnings of the C.P.R. from the
express charges on their fish which
have averaged for the last ten years
$300,000 or $400,000 a year. And all the
fish they caught is about 20,000,000
pounds, but in the city of Seattle there
are vessels catching three or four times
that amount and taking it all to Seattle.
No Canadian company catching fish In
Canadian vessels can send it into tho
United States under the present tariff
unless they pay one cent per pound
duty.
A Voice—They can send lt into Canada can't they?
Yes, my friend, but you must remember In Canada there are some 8,000,000
people and In the United States 90,000,-
000. Also they are not as well off for
fish as Canada. Now what will the removal of this duty mean to British Columbia? Of course the American ves«
sols can continue to fish as they have
done heretofore, but it will he unprofitable for them to do so for this reason
—the distance from Seattle to the hall
but banks Is from 500 to 600 miles,
from Prince Rupert it is less than 100
miles. A vessel running from Seattle
will take two^ or three days to reach
the fishing grounds; they can fill up in
a couple of days or less and then it has
to run back. Canadian vessels can run
from Prince Rupert In a few hours,
consequently they can catch several
cargoes In the time the American ves-
ls taking one. In a few years I
believe Prince Rupert will be the great
fiBhlng port of Canada, rivalling Grimsby in England. Under these conditions it will be I believe Impossible for
the American fishing vessel to compete with ours in the halibut trade;
consequently I predict that within a
year or two after this pact comes into
effect there will not be an American
left; they will either change
their register and come to British Columbia or the British Columbia fisherman will take over the work of supplying the great American market with
fish. There are many other similar Industries. For instance at the coast
we have a very profitable whaling
trade that has grown up -within tbe
last few years—we are sending whale
oil to New York at the present time,
against a duty of eight cents a gallon
and still it is profitable to us. Under
this agreement that duty will be removed, therefore those engaged in that
Industry will stand to make hundreds
of thousands of dollars profit when
it comes Into effect
These, ladles and gentlemen, are a
few instances of the results of the reciprocity agreement to Canada. Why I
am astonished that any Conservative
in Canada should oppose it For 40
years past the Conservatives of this
country have been clamoring for this
very thing. Resolution after resolution
has been passed asking for reciprocity
In these very things, every tariff that
was introduced that contained a clause
setting forth that Canada would remove the duty on those articles Just as
soon as the United States would do
the same. In the great National policy
tariff of 1879 there was a standing offer of reciprocal trade with the United
States in natural products whenever
they were prepared to do the same for
Canada, How comes lt then that at
the eleventh hour they decide to oppose
lt (they had to caucus themselves several times before deciding it.) They
are simply seizing It as an exeat* to
try to work the country up In order
to get themselves Into power. They
are quick change artiste anyway
You remember two years ago on the
naval question Messrs, Borden and
Foster on the one side and Sir Wilfrid
Laurier on the other agreed to a strong
resolution in favor of a Canadian navy,
built in Canada, controlled by Canada,
the resolution has been quoted hundreds ot times, yet the next session Mr.
Borden repudiated that resolution altogether and opposed the Canadian navy
policy. I submit that no.political party
can play fast and loose with great political questions as the Conservative
party has done with these two great

questions and retain the confidence of
the people of Canada.   •
Mr. Goodeve's Speean
Now, I would like to refer for a moment to one or two points in Mr. Goodeve's speech in Nelson and I am hound
to say I think Mr. Goodeve 1b an adept
at stating half truthB, that leave a
wrong Impression on the audience. Now
he dealt at considerable length with the
oriental question, that has always been
a live question in BritiBh Columbia
and politicians like Mr. Goodeve seem
to find it to their advantage to keep
it burning. Mr. Goodeve spoke at some
length regarding a treaty made between Great Britain and Japan, some
13 years ago and adhered to by Canada
I think In 1904. He argued that in
doing ao Canada had surrendered control over the Immigration of Japanese
into Canada, handed it over to the
Japanese government Isn't that the
impression he conveyed? It certainly
is if the speech Is correctly reported.
Now that Is absolutely a misstatement,
a half truth. No lt is not a half-truth,
It Is inaccurate In every respect. Let
me explain. There are two treaties with
Japan, or at least there Is a
treaty, and an agreement. A treaty of
trade and commerce made between
Japan and Great Britain several yea™
ago in whloh among other things lt was
provided that the citizens of one country should have the right of free entry
Into the other, and have the same
rights and bo on. Then in addition
there was a short schedule of reduced
duties on certain products of each
country going into the other country.
After that treaty had been In force
some Blx or seven years Canada became a party to It, having come to the
conclusion that by not doing so we
were under certain disadvantages. This
is the treaty that expires on the 17th
of this month, it has been put an end
to by Japan giving notice to Ores'
Britain that such 1b her Intention, at*
provided for in the treaty.   Since that
time Great Britain has negotiated an-
■other treaty with Japan which will
come into force on the 17th of the present month. Canada has refused to adhere to tliis new treaty so that for the
present Canada will not have any of
the advantages or disadvantages that
might result from it So much then
for the treaty of trade and commerce.
Treaty With Japan
Now, after the Japanese riots In Vancouver a few years ago the Hon. Mr.
Lemieux went to Japan and made an
agreement with the authorities there
whereby the immigration of Japanese
Into Canada was never to exceed 400
a year; that has been a binding solemn
agreement for four years and remains
so still. But Mr. Goodeve told you
we had turned over the control of this
Immigration to the government of Japan. That statement is false. The
Japanese government gives emigrants
passports, that 1b the way they exercise
control, and lf more than 400 were allowed to come to Canada, Mr. Oliver
through the Immigration officials would
-turn them back, Japan exercises control by not letting them leave the
country, we exercise control by not
letting them enter the country if they
came. Mr. Goodeve Is'reported to have
said that a Japanese had more right
to enter here than an Englishman, or
words to that effect. Now that la outrageous. The immigration laws are
enforced of course against the Englishman or the 'American or any other
nationality: we do not admit the die*
eased or the unfit from any country.
Oriental Immigration
Now what has been the effect of our
Immigration policy? It is not very long
ago you had the Natal act passed In,
the legislature of this province year
after year, only to ee disallowed by
the federal government, because! the
city of Nelson might Just as well have
passed such an'act, or an act prohibiting people from coming into this province.   It was known that such an act

was beyond {he authority of the provincial government; your supreme
court bo declared, yet it was passed
year alter year, simply to inflame the
minds of the people against the Dominion government—and no doubt lt succeeded to some extent I think I am
one of the victims of it, when In the
city of Victoria the Conservative candidate thought it not beneath him to
forge the name of R. L, Borden to a
telegram saying he was in favor of the
total exclusion of orientals which It. L.
Borden denounced in the house of commons as a false statement. But what
has been the result of this government dealing with vrlental immigration—hasn't lt been to restrain and
minimize lt? Previous to the last four
years of course there was a large Influx of Japanese from the Hawaiian
Islands, over which the Japanese government had no control. But four
years ago the Lemieux agreement was
arranged and that has been rigidly lived up to and I am here to say that we
can prove that more Japanese have
left Canada than have entered lt during that period.
A voice—How about Japanese fishermen?
Well, they are in the country, they
have been for a long time, and lots of
tbem are British subjects.
How many?
I am sorry to say I do not know.
Take Hindoos. A few years ago they
came here In large numbers, they were
citizens of the British empire. It was
a hard question to deal with. A member of the government went to England
and arranged with tbe British government to Influence tbe Indian authorities to minimize or reduce the immigration of Hindoos to Canada. Mr.
Oliver passed what is called, the
"Direct passage regulation, by which
only those who came In a direct ship
from India could enter Canada.   Tbe

result of these arrangements waB that
last year only one Hindoo and no more
came to Canada. In respect to
Chinese, the question is a little differ*
ent again. It was the Liberal government who imposed the $500, head tax,
lf that Is to their credit—some people
think that it is not a nice way to deal
even with Chinese, but let me point
out that it goes to pay a lot; of your
taxes. During the last 12 months the
Dominion government has paid to this
province $1,250,000 as your share of
the Chinese bead tax. At $500 a head
that would indicate 5,000 Chinese came
into our country laBt year. But I do
not think that all those Chinamen stay*
«d in British Columbia; some ot them,
perhaps most of them, scattered ;Wjat.;
Some, I Imagine, found the imder-
ground route to the United States.
However, those figures seem to show
that the Chinese are coming in in large
numbers. Then comes the question, Is
the $500 head tax the best thing, or
would lt be wiser to make an agreement with the Chinese government
similar to that made with the Japanese
government, for the restrlctipu .of immigration to Canada. That proposition

ADDRESS MEETING
ON RECIPROCITY
(Continued from Page Four.)
mier, and then Mr. Goodeve, the other
night, made all kinds of charges to the
effect that we were going to hand over
the control of Japanese immigration
to the Japanese, and the same thing
with China. I say that matter waa not
represented to the people of Nelson
fairly by Mr. Goodeve.
Nothing New.
Now some friends In this city today
asked me a question In reference to
my department, concerning the matter
of zinc. Well, I have not very much
to say at present on that subject that
is specially new. I have some knowledge of the zinc question, and also of
lead. Some years ago we gave a
bounty on the production of lead which
has still a year or two to run. But
what to do with our zinc ores has been
a question with the miners of this
country for years. At the request of
the people of this city we took up the
question of electrical smelting of zinc
ore. I had $50,0000 set aside for carrying on experiments, and those experiments are still going on. I secured the
services of W. R. Ingalls of New York
who is said to be the greatest expert
in zinc on this continent. We also submitted certain problems to be solved
in the laboratory of McGlll university
by Prof. Stansffeld, a young electrical
engineer, who has made great progress
In the study of such problems, and the
report of Dr. Haanel is that these experiments are meeting with considerable success, and he hopes at an early
date to be able to make a report
that will satisfy the mining interests
and that something definite will be
achieved. PJowever, I am frank to say
that trying to discover a new process
of zinc smelting is something that no
one can say is certain to succeed.
It has been suggested, why didn't we
negotiate an agreement with the United
States for free admission of our zinc ore.
Nowthat Is something I am fully in favor
of, until such time as we are able to
smelt lt successfully in Canada. Let me
take you Into my confidence and say this,
that Mr. Fielding at my request pressed
that very point on the American representatives but was unable to get them to
agree to admit zinc ores and lead, the
Interests on the - other side were too
strong. So we are still trying to discover
a method of smetlng our own zinc, ores,
and I hope we shall succeed, we Khali
keep on till the whole $50,000 is spent anyway, and we have not spent very much
of it yet
Another local question; when the premier
was here last year a delegation from the
boards of trade here and from various
points on the Columbia river south of
the boundary met him in your court
house and submitted, a proposition to make
the Columbia river navigable from the
mouth to Revelstoke ' Or beyond. They
asked as a preliminary step that Canada
should make a survey "of the river from
the International boundary north, and the
premier promised that that should be
done. I have to say also that It will be
done, there Is a sum of $6,000 in the estimates for the put-pose of ascertaining If
It can be made navigable, and the cost.
But It seems to me that If there are
ay people In this neighborhood opposed to
reciprocity they must be against that
scheme; why should we make the Columbia navigable If you don't want to trade
north and south? We should throw obstacles In the way, not remove them. I
think, however, that leaving party feeling
aside, the people of this district are opposed to that fair reciprocal arrangement, at any rate if we have an election
and if you will just vote on that simple
Issue, leaving out any side Issues that
may arise, I feel sure that reciprocity will
carry the matter by a very large majority. ,      H.M-U n."
Dr. Clarke's Address.
Dr. Clark opened his speech by dwelling upon the way in which the reciprocity
question was dominating the mind of the
people of Canada. It was a great advantage, he said, for there to be such a
clean-cut Issue between the two parties.
Attacking the speech delivered on the
same stage a few weeks ago by Mr.
Goodeve, the member for Red Deer, he
stated that Mr. Goodeve had sold that the
prosperity of Canada dated from the year
1878' with1 the Conservative government
In power, whereas he could prove by
figures that the real growth in the wealth
of the Dominion had commenced in 1896,
with the advent of the Laurier government
The four greatest nations of modern
times were the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States and France,
which were also the countries with the
greatest international foreign commerce,
which he considered the true test of
prosperity. In 1883, said Dr. Clark, when
the "National" policy had existed for five
years, Canada's foreign commerce totalled $230,000,000; 10 years later, when the
same policy bad ruled for 15 years, the
figures had only risen to $217,00,000; In
1894 the total hod dropped to $240,000,000,
and In the following year, 1896, fell still
further, to $234,000,000, «,0O0,00O less than
in 1883.
Save Country's Prosperity He Says.
In 1896, continued Dr. Clark, began the
real prosperity of the Dominion. In 1886
there was a decrease both in the number of new settlers and In the number of
homesteads taken; Canada was doing
business In the back lanes of the world.
But after the change of government the
foreign commerce rose in 1899 to $321,000,-
000, and, Increasing year by year, In 1910
nearly reached 1800,000,000. All the steps
taken by rttfio Laurier government toward tbe prosperity of the country, he
said, had been opposed tooth and nail by
the Conservatives, the hereditary opponents of progress. He would ask his audience to trust a government which had
given Canada prosperity.
National Question.
..Reciprocity, continued the member for
Red Deer, waa a national and not a local
question.    Blake had  said that  Canada
needed men, money and markets, and the
Dominion felt the same need today. Clifford Slfton had devoted ihis attention
while minister of the interior largely to
.attracting immlgrajnts from the United
States. Hon. Frank Olive*, on the other
hand, was directing the energies of his
department toward the British settler.
The two nations formed a good mixture,
said Dr. Clark, and would produce good
citizens for Canada "with the same flag
flying above us as now."
Mr. Sifton had brought In the immigrants and Sir Wilfrid had brought In the
British preference In order to obtain a
market for Canada's products. The Conservatives had opposed it, but it was ratified and the Canadian farmer had been
given a market for his produce In Britain.
Reciprocity would not harm the British
preference. When the pact had been ratified by the house, no it would be, and
when it had increased the trade of the
■Dominion, as he believed it would, Great
Britain would still bo on the spot and do
as big a business with both Canada and
the United States.
Surplus  of  Wealth.
In the prairies there were, said the
speaker, 300,000,000 acres of splendid table
land of which only 20,000,000 acres were under cultivation. In British Columbia even
the fringe of the natural resources had
not been touched. He asked his audience
what they * were going to do with the
enormous surplus of wealth which would
be produced In the prairies and this
province. They must sell It not only in
this country, but to foreign nations. The
British market was limited, whereas J. J.
Hill and other well-known public men
had stated that In 1916 the United States
would be importing foodstuffs. He argued
that it was the duty of Canada to get on
the ground floor of this great market It
was a matter of plain common sense, he
said.
Mr. Goodeve had made a most curious
statement when he had said that the
American market was a myth and had
quoted figures showing that the Importations to Canada were $223,000,000, while the
exports were only $112,000,000. Part of
this excess In the imports from the United
States was In coal, which amounted to
$27,000,000. Mr. Borden had told the
prairie farmers that $29,000,000 worth of
farm products was being imported into
Canada from the United States. An
analysis of this amount would Bhow, he
said, that $3,250,000 was for raw leaf tobacco; $4,600,000 was for Indian corn; $1.-
000,000 for raw silk; $2,000,000 for oranges,
lemons and limes, and $1,600,000 for bananas, all products which were not raised
In the prairies. They were all goods which
were not In competition with those raised
by the Canadian former.
Lower Protective Walls.
He said that the attitude of Great Britain was In favor of the free trade, which,
he claimed, had built up the empire, and
that the feeling In the United States was
strongly In favor of lowering the tariff
walls. He said that this was Indicated by
the landslide which occurred In the elections last fall and pointed to the two
countries as examples to be followed by
the Canadian lawmaker and voter.
The cry from every country where protection existed, said the member for Red
Deer, was the high cost of living. It
was a syBtem which only made the rich
richer and the poor poorer; the only
thing it manufactured was millionaires.
He ridiculed the idea of annexation and
said with regard to the lines of railway
In the country being deflected from east
and weBt to north and south that railways
should run in all directions, north and
south and east and west and obliquely.
NEW OFFICERS

Come and Have
Your Corsets Fitted
by an Expert
Madame Dougherty, who is conceded
to be one of the greatest authorities in
America on the little secret arts of
beautifying the form feminine, will
give a series of demonstrations of the
famous W.B. Corsets at our store every
day this week, commencing today. We
invite all our friends and visitors to the
store to come and share these beauty
secrets and consult Madame Dougherty
as to their corsets or other feminine
needs.
The W.B. models shown are absolutely
the daintiest examples of corset craft
that we have ever seen, and we are
sure that our friends will be delighted
with their dainty, shapely beauty.
They work wonders in perfecting
figures that require improvement, and
are the equal of any custom made
corset.
that treaty passes, the Canadian parliament, or whether it fails to pass, the
mischief is done, and our great Dominion statesmen have begun to lealize
how extraordinarily they are hampered
and how they are going to be hampered
in all their external relations. Even
now if the reciprocity treaty were
thrown out and if the mother country
saw some way to that kind of an arrangement, which Mr. Chamberlain so
ardently desired, it would be possible
to carry out to the full the advantages
he foresaw and to avoid all the perils
which beset any course rigidly and uncompromisingly directed upon the old
line of so-called orthodox free trade
any an old system, which must go."
MAKES FREE TRADE
IMPOSSIBLE
'A. J. Balfour Refers to Canadian Reciprocity Treaty—Mlsohief Is Done
—Birthday Celebration.
LONDON, July 10.—Rt. Hon. A. J.
Balfour, speaking at a dinner last
night given in honor ot the birthday
of Rt Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, said
that everything that had happened in
Canada, everything that waB happening
at the present time, and everything
that was going to happen with regard
to the great complex International
treaties was going to cause Incomparable trouble to. the British foreign
office in the future, and the abrogation
of these treaties, he affirmed, was go
lng to make Britain's free trade policy
totally Impossible.
"I don't say," asserted Mr. Balfour,
"that this was foreseen by Mr. Chamberlain, aB it could not possibly have
been foreseen by anyone, but If the
policy which he advocated had been
adopted In time, and If we, as a nation,
hnd understood our opportunities pnd
had realised then a policy of imperial
preference would bave saved us from
these complications.

ANNUAL REPORT OF
BUREAU OF MINES
Net Increase in Value of Output Nearly
Two Million Dollars—Coal
Notable.
The annual report of the minister
of mines for British Columbia for the
calendar year ending December 31,
11)10, which is the official account of
the years mining operations in the
province, is issued. As usual, it is
comprehensive, systematically arranged
and very well illustrated.
In particular many engaged in, or
otherwise concerned about mining in
British Columbia are well pleased to
have thus placed at their disposal the
provincial mineralogist's annual survey of the condition and progress of
the industry, based partly on the personal observations of that official and
partly upon the reports sent in to the
bureau of mines by gold commissioners and mining recorders, together
with the important addition of statistical and other Information derived
from returns supplied by the bureau
by owners or other operators of mines
and smelteries in the province.
The statistics of production, carefully complied from the most reliable
data obtainable and presented in tabulated form so as to clearly exhibit the
position from a comparative point of
view, are of much practical value to
those using the Information thus made
conveniently accessible. Prom some of
these it la ascertained that the net Increase in value of the production of
1910 as compared with that of 1909 Is
$1,934,041, the respective totals for the
two years being $26,377,066 and $24,443,-
025. Incidentally, it may here be mentioned that last year's total value was
the greatest of any year in the history
of mining in British Columbia, the previous highest record having been that
for 1907, with a total of $25,882,260. The
proportions of the several minerals in
eluded in last year's total of production, and the respective increases and
decreases, are shown in the following
excerpt from one of the tables:
Mineral. Value.   Inc. or Dec.

Tills production added to that of all
previous years brings the aggregate
value of the mineral production of the
province to the beginning of 1011 up
$374,197,050. The proportions of
the various minerals are shown In the
next following table:

In regard to the statistical tables—
an addition has been made to that
showing in detail the production of
the metalliferous mines, etc., separate colums having been included for
zinc and miscellaneous minerals, respectively, so that this elaborate table
now shows details for the four last
years of all minerals produced except
coal and coke.
Only one more reference to the
statistical tables will now be made,
namely, to that comparing graphically
the out put of certain mineral products
in British Columbia to that of simlllar
products of in all other provinces in the
dominion. ThiB shows that in regard
to gold, silver, lead, copper, Iron, and
coal and coke, this province produced
In 1910 an amount equal to more than
64 per cent of that of all the other provinces combined. It should be noted
that the Yukon is not included In this
comparison, and that not all the minerals produced, but only those above
narrated. and comprises In the
totals compared. The respective totals
for those minerals are as follows: British Columbia, $24,684,593; Yukon, $4,-
550,000; all other provinces, $38,551,838.
Large Increase In Coal.
The most notlcable feature in the
mineral production of the year was
the large increase in coal. The gross
output, • that Is including the coal
made into coke, was 3,139,235 tons
(of 2,240 pounds). ThiB is the greatest production of this mineral made
in the history of coal mining in the
province. After deduction of 339,189
tons made into coke, the net output
of coat was 2,800,046 tons, which is
an increase of nearly 800,000 tonB
over that of the year 1909. As the
greatest net increase made in any
previous year was about 328,000 tons,
which waB in 1909 as compared with
1908, It Is very evident that a big advance was made last year. Before
turning to other matters it will here be
noted that included In the full informa-

tion given in tabulated form, showing
(1) the output and the per capita production of -coal in several districts
during the last four years, and (2) analyses of accidents in coal mines in different districts during 1910. These
tables give interesting data, especially
valuable for purposes of comparison.
Other Noticeable Features.
The special reports included in the
report are those of the provincial mineralogist on Portland canal, Lillooet
and Tatlayoko districts, and of the pro
vincial assayer on part of Atlin mining
division, Bella Coola and Valdez Island. Those on Lillooet and Tatlayoko
districts are of more than ordinary interest since there has not heretofore
been available much, If any, official
Information relative to them. These
descriptive articles are rendered more
interesting and valuable by reason of
their being freely illustrated with some
excellent and representative views.
The reports of the various branches
of work done by or under the bureau
of mines also deserve favorable notice. These Include the practical work
of the provincial assay office, that
of the boards of examiners of assayers
and coal mine officials, and of the chief
Inspector of mines and the several
district Inspectors under him. Especially is the information relative to mine-
rescue apparatus provided, and mine-
rescue training work. done, of deep
Interest, to those concerned In the protection of the lives of coal miners.
The comprehensive nature and markedly advantageous arrangement of the
large amount of information contained
In the report as a whole, reflect credit
upon the provincial mineralogist, upon
whom devolved the work of preparing
it for the printer and supervising Ita
publication.
Numerous Excellent Illustrations.
The varied Illustrations—graphic
tables, diagrams, maps and half-tone reproductions of photographB—add materially to the general excellence of the
report, which has been well printed at
the provincial government printing office. Too much praise can scarcely be
accorded for tbe artistic finish of the
half-tones in printing which W. H.
Clark, foreman of the pressroom, has
well maintained his reputation for high-
class work. Most of the photographs
reproduced were taken either by W. F.
Robertson, provincial mineralogist, or
his assistant, Harold T. Nation. The
sketch maps reproduced were complied
and drawn by .Mr. Nation. While necessarily not strictly accurate In detail they
will doubtless prove very useful for the
chief purpose for which they were prepared, namely, as a guide to prospectors
and others going into the districts they
cover. The zinc line blocks of cuts of
these maps used were made locally;
they are photo reductions of large
tracings, and possess a new feature for
this class of work, having contours
shown In colors, this being the first of
this kind of work done in British Columbia.
There are other praiseworthy features
but enough has been stated to make it
clear that the 1910 annual report of the
minister of mines for British Columbia
is a decidedly useful and creditable
publication, and It Is distinctive in that
It gives particulars of the largest total
value of the mineral production in any
one year in the history of mining in
British Columbia.

INTTRNATIONAL GEOLOGICAL
CONGRESS MEETS IN TORONTO
The International geological congress, made up of the geological societies of tbe world, and which meets
every three years , held its tenth session at Stockholm, Sweden, in 1910.
The next, or eleventh meeting, is to
be held in Toronto, in July, 1913, when
It Is expected not less than 2,000 geologists will attend.
To prepare for this important event
a meeting was called at the instance
of the director of th« geological survey of Canada, attended by the Canadian geologists, mining engineers, representatives of the universities, the
government service, the royal service
and the Canadian mining institute.
Dr. F. D, Adams, professor of geology, McGlll college, Montreal, was selected as president, and R. W. Brock,
director of the geological survey, aa
secretary-treasurer, and an executive
committee coasting of the two previously named gentlemen, A. P. Coleman, J. B. Tyrell, W. G. Miller, O. E.
LeRoy, W. Mclnnes, T. Denis, W. A.
Parkes and G. G. S. Lindsey was chosen. They have power to add to their
number, and this will be one of the
principal matters of business at. the
next meeting of the committee.
At the first meeting of the executive
committee it was decided that three
seriea of excursions should be held,
one before the session In Toronto, another (short daily outings) during the
session in Toronto and a third after
the session of the congress.   These ex-

DISAPPOINTING CROP REPORT
CAUSES STOCKS TO FALL
NEW TORK, July 10—Disappointment at the government crop report
which was issued shortly before tho
close of the market caused stocks to
recede quickly after a display of almost
uniform strength from tho opening. The
losses thus sustained virtually cancelled tho gains of 1 to 2 points through
the list of the active stocks. The character of the crop report was offset to
some extent by the monthly statement
of the copper producers and of the
United States Steel corporation's unfilled orders which wore unexpectedly
favorable. United States Steel and copper shares, however, yielded with the
remainder of tho list at the close. The
figures for spring wheat were usually
about 76 or 77 in place of the government figures of 73.8. The condition of
corn was 2 points under estimates. It
was pointed out, however, that since
July l, the date to which tho government report refers, the lack of rain
which was largely responsible for the
damage has been relieved in many sections and that present conditions are
substantially better than those of ton
days ago when the official figures were
called. The decline In stocks was due
In part to the expectations of the operators who had bought heavily in anticipation of a bullish statement.
Reports of rain over tho week encouraged buying this morning not only
here but In London, where American
stocks advance! materially. The gains
were extended In tho local market. Tho
increase of 247,000 tons In the unfilled
orders of the United States Steel cor-
Is rich in food value and
easy to digest It is just

poration between June 11 and July 1
Indicates an unexpectedly largo amount
of new business, with tbe June figures
suggesting the largest gain which the
corporation has experienced since tho
revival after tho open market of 1909,
the Increase In business, which followed
the reduction in prices being estimated
at 50 per cent or more on the basis of
today's report and the known increase
in shipments during June. The decrease of more than 8,500,000 pounds In
copper stocks was larger than was looked for, bringing down the total to the
lowest point In several months, while
domestic deliveries were somewhat supporting, tho export movement was the
largest since last October and the
statement as a whole waB regarded as
distinctly favorable.
Good reports on both the copper and
steel trade apparently had been discounted for the market -barely moved
on their publication. Almost the only
exceptions to the strength exhibited
through the greater part of the day
were Virginia Iron, which fell back 7 1-2
points and Virginia &Carollna Chemical
which although it remained stationery
when the unfavorable annual report
was published last week, declined one
point today.
The bond market was firm. Total

WHEAT PRICES REACH
LOWER FIGURE  IN WINNIPEG
WINNIPEG, July 10.-Lower temperatures and scattered showers in the corn
belt, together with lower cables and some
anxiety as to what the United States government report would be, which was issued today at the close of the market, all
contributed toward the fall ln wheat,
which was so noticeable on the American side.
Winnipeg, following the lead of the Chicago and Minneapolis markets, was down
In each month, October, which was stronger toward the close of the session, closed
114c split lower, and December also
closed   l%c   lower.    July   oats   were   un-
haged and October dosed %c lower.
There was a fair demand for Nos. 4 and
5 In cash wheat, but the export market
was quiet in both wheat and oats.
Chicago July fell %c >on the day and
September and December each dropped one
cent.
Minneapolis July closed %c lower; September no less than l&c lower, and December 1V6<: lower.
Chicago corn and oats were lower for
all months. The weather map' of the
west showed that rains had been general
over Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and
a few scattered showers had fallen ln
Alberta.   Temperatures were lower.

WILL ESTABLISH  INDUSTRIAL
COLONIES OF WOMEN
Will Purchase Lands to be Developed
on Cooperative Principal—Ask
Aid.
(Special to The Dally News.)
VICTORIA, July 11—The acting
premier of British Columbia, Hon. Dr.
Young, was waited upon by two especially active and well-Unformed members of the new and growing company
of English gentlewomen ln business,
these being Hon. Mrs. Grosvenor and
Miss Dorothy Davis, both of London,
who are visiting Canada for the purpose of studying (conditions with a
view to the establishment in various
provinces of industrial colonies of women. Those at the head of the movement are in a position to furnish sufficient funds for the purchase of necessary lands, and it Is hoped to place
upon these latter little communities of
English women with small capital who
will develop the holding to the greatest extent, preferably upon the cooperative principal.
Hon Mrs. Grosvenor and Miss Davis
are now fully acquainting themselves
with existing industrial conditions in
British Columbia, and their visit to the
acting premier was principally for the
purpose of ascertaining whether provincial aid might not be secured for the
furtherance of their undertaking.
Although any such direct assistance
was held to be Impossible, Hon. Or.
Young pointed out to his visitors the
provision contained in one chapter of
the agricultural association's act of
this year, whereby it is made possible
for co-operative associations of 20 or
more engaged In dairying and kindred
industries to obtain assistance by way
of loan being secured as a first charge
upon the properties, and bearing Interest at five per cent.
The English visitors leave for Dun-
cari, where they will pursue their investigation of the conditions under the ci-
ceronage of J. H. Maitland-Dougal, the
resident government agent.
FORTY-FIVE MILES OF

In this section tomorrow, between sun-
rlso and sunset, an improved highway,
45 miles long. Practically every able
bodied man in the three counties has
volunteered to aid ln the work. The
road will follow the old Santa Fe cutoff and will connect this city with the
town of Lebo.

PASS AMBULANCE
EXAMINATIONS
Eighteen Candidates Have Secured Certificates—Valuable Assistance In
Case of Accident
A second class In connection with
the C.P.R. branch iof the St. John
Ambulance association at Nelson has
just passed a highly satisfactory examination. The following are the successful candidates: M. J. Mulrooney,
Charles W. Hall, John Warr, Joslah
Smith, H. R. Ades, John Paulson and
George B. Abbott. This makes a total
of 18- qualified first aid workers who
have passed their examination after
Instruction by Dr. W. O. Rose.
P. B. Ashbrldge, travelling instructor
for the St. John Ambulance society has
just returned from a visit to Eholt
and reports having been successful In
teaching the class there and expects to
have 10 men qualified at that point.
The travelling public greatly appreciates this movement, realizing that In
case of serious accidents the medical
profession has at easy call a staff of
well trained employees who can render
them intelligent assistance and who
can in the absence of a surgeon save
much suffering and loss of life and
limb by their skill ln handling cases
that call for immediate attention. Mr.
Ashbrldge left last night for Revelstoke
and other western points where he has
this work In hand.
NOMINAL DAMAGES
AWARDED SHAW
Judge Wilson Finds for Applicant Who
May Ask for Larger Sum—
Novel Point
His honor Judge Wilson yesterday delivered his award in the case of Shaw
vs. the C.P.R., in which he acted as
arbitrator under the Workmen's Compensation act, and allowed the applicant the nominal damages of five cents
per week.
His honor, in his award, comments
on the novel feature of the case, the
claims agent of the C.P.R. having made
a settlement after the accident,, in
which Roy M. Shaw lost three fingers
while coupling a car at Moyie last
fall, at the rate of ¥10 a week, while
Fred C. Moffatt, solicitor for Shaw,
contended that this agreement was
void on the grounds that the applicant
at tho time lt was made was not aware
that he could obtain larger damages.
The award finds that Shaw was not
aware that he could obtain more than
(10 per week but gives the respondents,
who were represented by B. C. Wragge,
the right to have a stated case placed
before a supreme court judge.
On the other hand Judge Wilson
gives the applicant the right to show
that ho had suffered injury through
being unable to obtain work at some
period after the accident and to show
what loss he might have been occasioned by such inability, with a view of
further damages.
Costs in the case are awarded to the
applicant.

lers In applying water to growing
crops, judging by tbe scores ot Inquires received by Stephen O. Jayne,
in charge of Irrigation investigations tn
the state of Washington for the United
States department of agriculture, following the publication of an interview
regarding the experiments made with
whirling devices In this state,
"The sprinkler plan has been used
successfully and profitably during the
last 15 years at the Riverside farm, a
few miles east of Spokane," said Mr.
Jayne, on return from an Investigation
trip. "It 1b the moat extensive irrigation system In the western country
employing sprinklers exclusively. R.
A. Jones, the owner, abandoned his
profession as an engineer to develop
this tract, which embraces about B0
acres. He installed the plant from
start to finish and has Improved it
from time to time until today It 1b
one of the' show places in the Spokane
district.
"Mr. Jones' plant consists of a triplex pump, operated by a 20-borsepower
electric motor. Water is pumped from
tbe Spokane river to a masonry reservoir of 40,000 gallons capacity, located
on an elevation higher than any of the
farm buildings. The main pipes, two
four-Inch, and one three-Inch, from the
pumping plant are tapped by latteral
pipes, ranging from two-Inch to three-
quarters of an Inch, laid parallel about
300 feet apart. These lateral pipes are
tapped at intervals of from 16 to 21
feet and are provided with faucets
for hose connections. From these faucets the water is conducted by rubber
hose to the sprinkler and thence sprayed over the crops and soil.
"The sprinklers, which were designed by Mr. Jones, are simple in construction, having no movable parts, and
are efficient, throwing a coarse spray
thoroughly and uniformly wetting
an area of from 20 to 35 feet in diameter, according to the pressure head.
The pump is under 85 feet pressure.
The sprinklers are attached to galvanized Iron nipples of a length best
suited to the crop to be irrigated. For
low growing crops a short nipple la
used, while a vertical nipple or pipe
from four to five feet in height may be
used where it la desired to throw the
spray over tall growing shrubs or
plants.
Fattened on Sleds.
"The sprinklers are firmly fastened
to small sledB, which hold the pipes
In an upright position, and these sleds
are moved back and forth and up and
down the rows In such a way as to
properly sprinkle flho ground. One
man can handle 20 sprinklers In this
way. To avoid the necessity of shutting off the water, when it Is desired
to move the sprinklers, a long pike-
pole 1b used for pulling them ahead.
On the Jones place 30 or more sprinklers may be seen going at one time.
Two men do all the work and have
some left for other duties besides Irrigation.
"Although the sprinklers are used
chiefly for the irrigation of nursery
stock, the same method Is employed in
watering -crops of. all kinds on the
farm, from corn and potatoes to a
mature bearing orchard, and under the
conditions existing, Mr. Jones thinks
there could be no better wax.of-dojng
It.

nearly three miles of pipe of various]
sizes, and there Is between 4,000 and!
5,000 feet of rubber hose.   Tbe hosef
is bought in large quantities and cut
on the farm.   Wearing out of hose la |
the principal Item of depreciation,.but
a good grade will stand several year's
service.
"The land Irrigated 1b too rough to
be watered easily by the usual methods
and it Is not of such a nature aa to
premlt of grading, so It was a case of
do lt with sprinklers or not at all, and
while It haB been expensive, it haB
proved profitable. Mr. Jones says lf
he were to undertake the work again,
he would adopt the same system, but,
of course, his experience bas shown
where Improvements could be made ln
minor details.
"It is an interesting Bight to Bee a
large battery of these sprinklers ln
operation, and lf one contemplates the
Installation of a sprinkler system it
will be found worth while to visit'the
farm." *      *•    *
