THROUGH S1IP Minister Explains Suspension of Hudson's Bay Work HE DOES NOT WANT HISTORY REPEATED Recalls that National Transcontinental Cost Double Sum Estimated A"—13. W. J. Owens OTTAWA, Dec. 4—A number of questions were answered by the government. As to when the governmont would repeal the Navy law, If at all, Premier Uorden said the policy of the government would be announced in due course. Hon. William Pugsley's two page question on the subject of the ne temere decree was again on the order paper. Mr. Pugsley repeated the questions asked by Messrs. Hughes and Taylor last session, and the answers given by Sir Allan Ajlesworth. He wanted to know if the present government concurred in the opinions of the former minister of juBtice. Mr. Borden said that the governmen'. regarded with the utmost consideration and respect the opinions of the late minister of Justice on questions of law. As to what action the present government proposed to take. thes matter bad not been under consideration. Ernest Lapointe was told that the engineers of the Transcontinental railway expected to have the New Brunswick portion of the line completed by Sen. tember, 1012, and the Quebec portion from the New Brunswick boundary io the St. Lawrence river, by September 30, 1918. The question as to the operation of the line by the government before the completion of the Quebec bridge had not been considered. Hudson Bay Railway Dr. Neely, Humboldt, moved lor all papers in connection with the letting of bonds on railway contracts and for an order issued by Hon. Frank Cochrane, minister of railways, in suspending work on the road. He snid that the action of the minister, which was practically his first official act, had caused intense surprise in the west where tlir early completion of the Hudson Baj railway was looked upon as a matter of supreme Importance. Dr. Neely reviewed the progress that had bee made on the Hudson Bay project sine 1908 when Sir Wilfrid Laurier made the definite announcement that the hovciii- ment proposed to go ahead with th? work. The prime minister when in the west last summer, had told the people thi'.:. If returned .to power his government would build and operate the line. Yet the first act of the now governmen: had been to stop work on the contracts let by tbe late administration. Mr. Borden had also promised that the Hudson Bay railway would be completed in four years, and the action of the minister of railways ivould not assist him in making hiB reputation as a man who kept his word. Mr. McKay, Conservative member for Prince Albert, said that he was prepared to endorse some of Dr. Neely't* statements as to the necessity for the construction of the Hudson Hay railway. He was not prepared to agree, however that the present governmen! had done wrong in stopping the contract Had Mr. Neely been as zealot in tiie last few years as he was now more progress might have been made with the railway. Hon. Frank Cochrane, minister of railways, who spoke briefly, said On' the government proposed to carry out any promises made in regard to tho construction of the line to the bay. R-iu- resent at ions had been made to him, however, that the first section of the line ran In part through a deep swamp and that it might be possible to select a better route. The contract had been held up in order that an inquiry might be held. There would be no more delay than was necessary to check up the surveys. "What," he said, "have I to show that the existing surveys are any better than those on the N.T.R." In nearly every caBe on that line, the estimates as to the cost had been doubled. In conclusion Mr. Cochrane stated that thiB was undoubtedly an important work and it was hiB duty to see that It was started right and with no more delay than necessary. i£a& NO. 200 m FIRES HOT SHdrAT ANTI-TRUST LEAGUE Representative Littleton of New York Cheered at Opening Session of Congress—to Investigate WASHINGTON, Dec. 4—Congress reassembled today. It inducted into office two new senatorB^and five new representatives and then the lower branch presented the sensational spectacle of an opening day philllpic, a speech by Representative C. W.

It was the regular session of the 62nd congress, a session expected to be replete with remarkable developments and which may stretch over a period longer than the usual meetings of congress. The session Is to deal with the tariff, trusts, currency, arbitration and a host of other big'problems but all the activity will be with a view to the effect on the coming presidential campaign.

George Kennedy's candidates were limited to French Canadian players, while the other clubs in the league will not be allowed to have players of that nationality and drastic changes were made in the penalty rules. In the future the public will always see two full teams playing. There is to be no ruling otf as at present. Fouls are divided into two classes, major, those which might Incapacitate an opposing player, and minor, infractions of such rules as that againBt. loafing offside. . For a major foul, a man is to be expelled from the game and fined $5, his place being taken by a substitute. The $5 fine is to be automatic and its infliction does not take away from the president the power to inflict a heavier fine if the case warrants it. After a player's fines total $25 his case may be taken up by the executive and he may be expelled from the league. For minor fouls the referee may givs three warnings, after that the offend':!!' is' to be expelled from the game, lined $5 and replaced by a substitute. The referees are to be appointed by President Quinn from lists to be drawn up. The O'Brien cup Is the official trophy of the league and to compete for any other trophy the club must secure tiie permission of the league.

"There was 80 per cent more coal brought ln via Lake Superior ports , than ever before and there is no danger of the people oft the prairies running short of fuel this winter. The railroad spent over $1,500,000 by sending Pittsburg coal as far west as the mountains for it:* own use, so that when the Crow's Nest mines open uy again the total output may go to the people. This" was done so that there might be no possibility of a coal famine. Regarding the report that the C. P. R. Is planning to put oil-burning locomotives on part of its lines, Mr. Bury said: "Plans have been made looking to lhe use of oil as fuel on all locomotives running ibetween KamloopB and Laggan. Oil will be a more expensive fuel, but we are actuated in making the change, first, to lessen the labor of firemen, and next to aid in the conservation of the timber along the line of the railway. We hope to have the necessary tanks erected at once, and the engines converted by next spring."

The generous firebox is built so that the water heats very rapidly as it passes through the water front, and gives a plentiful supply. One bath usually empties the boiler heated by an ordinary range with the result that the rest of the family must wait for more water to heat. Not so with the boiler attached to the water front of a KOOTENAY "- steel .Rang-e, because the Kootenay never fails to heat as much water as is required and as fast as it is used.

Mr. Girling is the school teacher at Mall's Landing and is a stranger In this district, having taken up his present duties at tho opening of this term. When endeavoring with his family to cross the ice choked waters of the Columbia rlvei* from a point near the C.P.R. water tank, the loss of a rowlock left his boat at the mercy of the stream. The night was bitter cold and the lonesomeness and terror of their position extreme. Fortunately they were cast upon Cottonwood island and were lucky enough to make a landing on its ice fringed shore. Their crieg were heard hy Dave Anderson and it must ever be a source of gratification to him as well as to Messrs. JamieBon, Fisher and Armstrong, whom ho called to his assistance that he was thus Instrumental in saving these three lives. The actual rescue was made by Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Fisher, after a!! four gentlemen had had a most strenuous time in obtaining and launching a leaky boat the only one to be had at this unfrequented spot. Mr. Girling nnd family had heen exposed on the island for three hours when they were rescued and it was almost 1 o'clock in the morning when they succeeded in reaching Arrowhead in a half perished condition.

J A Kootenay Lake Beauty and a Sound, Sensible Proposition An Improved fruit farm of 93 acres situated on the Main Kootenay Lake, about half way between Nelson and Kootenay Landing, with quarter of a mile lake frontage. With the exception of about IB acres of grazing land the balance of this land Is of the very best style and quality. It is level, free from stone, and has JUBt enough Blope towards the lake for a fine irrigation system. L This land poBitive'y does not require irrigation for orchard purposes, but as an insurance water is already laid on this property with a registered right of 32 inches. The rainbow trout and salmon fishing at this part of the lake is unsurpassed, and the hunting grounds for big game are immediately adjacent to this property. Ab a money-njaking fruit farm proposition it cannot be beaten; besides the price is so low that the natural increase in the value of the land will pay a handsome premium on the investment. There are IB acres cleared, 12 of which are planted with apple ti^eeB of standard varieties, and the majority of them bearing. There is one acre of strawberries, and one acre of black currants and other small fruits. Barn and small frame, comfortable dwelling. This Is considered one of the hest located properties in Kootenay district, and at the price quoted Is an investment well worthy of Investigation by people who deBire to locate here on a property already improved and one which is producing an income. Local valueB would justify the owner asking ?12,000, but hiB price for a prompt sale Is |S,800. Reasonable terms. plans and other information furnished on request. Nelson, B. C.

No home is quite complete without a Perfection Oil Heater. It is a necessity in the (all and spring, when it is too warm to start the regular heating apparatus, and too cool to be without heat. In the midst of winter it is often convenient as an auxiliary heater, as there are always some cold corners in a house. The enameled heater always presents a nice appearance, as the enamel will not tarnish or bum off. It is not an " enamel paint." but it is the same as the enamel of your cooking utensils. The Perfection is the most reliable and convenient portable heating device you can find.
