Green, yesterday selected Conservative standard bearer In the Kootenay by-election, at the smoking concert at tho opera house ast night drew from his audience applause which for vigor and wholeheartedness has seldom been equalled In Nelson. With his hearers entirely In accord wllh tho principles to which ho gave expression, Mr. Green touched upon his wide experience in political life and displayed a knowledge of the disabilities under which Kootenay labors bused upon IiIb long residence In the riding nnd an acute observation of condition!?, lie was frequently interrupted by cheers and sat clown amid a salvo of applause which exceeded even the acclamation which greeted him when preceded by' a piper, he stepped from the auditorium to the stage to commence Ills speech. Local Members Speak Mnyor Annable was ln the chair and speeches were also delivered by W. R. Maclean, M.P.P., James H. Schofleld, M.P.P. and H. G. Parson of Golden. Among the contributors to the musical program were A. Cuilln, Percy Carpenter, W. Patterson, E. If. Smith and the Gem orchestra nnd "Fatty" of "Fun and Fat" nt the Starland picture show All the singers wero received with a large measure of applause, reijuests for encores being frn- ' qucnt. William IReese of Rosf-laml delighted his audience with some funny stories and was a whole show in himself, ln a three round boxln;; contest .Toe Holland had somewhat the better of William Thomas who put up u game fight. Fred A. Starkey and Fred C. Moffatt were largely responsible for the ar rangement of the program. Candidate opeaks Mr. Green upoke as follows: "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: wish tonght that I had the gift of oratory possessed by your late member, because then I would be much better utile to express to you my appreciation of tho hflnor you hnve today done me In uslting me to be your candidal In Ihe coming election, I have not for some time been speaking very much and am rather out of practice, and as some of you perhnps know I was never very much of n speaker at any time, though whenever occasion required I have always been able to luy before anyone n-uticernod any ideas I might be possessed of. When I was nsked hy a number of my friends to allow my name to go before this convention for the federal nomination, I replied that If the Conservatives of Kootenay desired my services they were at their disposal. That has been my attitude throughout, and I have tonight to thank you most sincerely for this mark of the esteem and confidence you hnve shown me by asking me lo be your standard bearer. "And at this point," sa\d Mr. Green, "I would like to express my gratitude toward tlie other gentlemen whose nnmes were before the convention for having made the nomination unanimous nnd for the way in which they stated the'r willingness to back me to the last dlt-sh. 1 wish to emphasize my gratitude to them for the action they ha\e taken in this regard, ' "Now, the task you have set me Is far from easy; it not only requires great knowledge and diligence lo represent this great constituency as it should lie represented and to keep In touch with all its varied needs and conditions, but I recognize as well as you tliat 1 have a hard task to measure up to the standard set by your late member, Mr. A. S. Goodeve, who filled that position so ably and so well and with such honor during the short time he held it. When one looks over this great constituency of East and West Kootenay and sees the great possibilities it contains for making a great and prosperous and populous counlry, the vniiely of resources thut we have to be developed, and then consider that upon cue man Js laid the duty and privilege of telling the rest of Canada ■A'hat wo have here and what this constituency requires and deserves at the hands of the other members of the federal parliament nnd government, one realizes that it is a big task. Protection for Lumbar. "Take tho lumber industry; we have lumber sufficient to supply the needs of all tho rest of Canada, and then some. And right at our doors we have, If only It can be conserved to us, a market for our lumber that is growing day by day and will continue to grow for the next GO years, and any man who can accomplish that particular thing is one of whom Kootenay may be proud. -. I am not going to claim toil ght that I alone can accomplish that thing, but I will say to you that in my heart I believe that with the experience I have had In the political game In the province of British Co- lumb a, and the Intimate knowledge 1 have of the people who compose the government of Canada, and my knowledge of politics generally and of the way the country is governed, as well ai my long familiarity with this portion of the province and Its natural conditions, I believe I can do as much at least ns any other man in this province toward bringing about that end. (Applause.) it is no tight task, as I suy, to go to Ottawa among 200 and more members from alt parts of Canada and there see that the requirements of this district are always given the consideration they deserve, und a man is not going to get everything he wants ;tt all times-—that would be too much to expect—but yet we are all Canadians, nnd the members of the house of commons and of the government are reasonable men, and while we have a reasonable proposition to put before them and it is put before them in a reasonable way, and they are convinced that what we ask is something we are rightly entitled to, they will help us out; so I believe the lime is now at hand when we shall get a better measure of protection for this, one of our main industries, our timber, Market for Fruit. "A short time ugo we heard a great deal about reciprocity. 1 am not go Ing to talk about that tonight, bqt simply to say lhat what has been said as to the need of protection for our lumber industry applies equally to other Industry that interests you In this section, our fruit, ln connection with which we have at our door we have in connection with our lumber trade, n large und cousinnliy growing natural market. There is no competition In the production of fruit hetween us and our neighbors in thn; N'ort Invest territories, because they never can grow fruit. Their country is adapted for a different class of agriculture. Wo cut down our timber und clear our land and plant fruit trees, and the market for the products of our orchards is at our doors, and as your representative (for I believe this nomination is equal to election) I Intend to do all :'n my power to have that market conserved for the fruit growers of this province. We arc paying every one our shareJrito the treasury of the Dominion of Canada, on the food wo eat and the clothing we wear and most of the machinery und other products ; we do so willingly nnd gladly, hut In return British Columbia must have her rights preserved und her natural resources and her industries conserved for the benefit of her own people. (Applause.) Even if the people of these adjoining provinces could get their lumber GO cents or a dollar a thousand cheaper by throwing down the barriers, It would not be fair to us or to them to do so, because we bny (Continued on page three.)

Dr. Bonnell of Fernle and C. IR Hamilton, K.C, of Nelson, were also placed ln nomination. Rising to its feet the convention showed Its enthusiasm by giving thr rousing cheers for Mr. Green when the result was announced and followed it wilh another standing cheer for Mr. Hamilton and Dr. Bonnell when the former In a graceful speech declared that he would vote for Mr. Green and, if he wished It, work for him and then moved that the nomination be made unanimous. Dr. Bonnell expressed similar sentiments in a telegram read at the convention, Over Hundred Present, Of the 135 possible delegates 113 were present, the balance being represented by proxy, Mayor Annable, president of the Kootenay District Conserva live association, was In the chair. In opening the meeting Mayor Annable expressed his pleasure at seeing such a large and representative at tendance. Tlie delegates present, ho said, were the leading Conservatives of Kootenny and the faces that he saw before him augured well for the future of the party in this electoral division. Since the convention which nom inated A. S. Goodeve last August at election had been held, the result of which must have been highly satis factory to a.ll Conservatives, to whom September 21, 1911, would be a date never to be forgotten. A provincial election had also been fought with the result that British Co lumbla now held a unique position among the provinces of Canada; hi neither the provincial nor Dominion parliaments had British Columbia a ■Liberal representative.

In placing the name of Mr. Green before the convention Harold Sclous of Nelson referred to the high regard with which Hie people of Kootenay regarded tlie late member. When he had heard of his resignation ho had realized that it would be difficult to find a man who could equal Mr. Goodeve as n representative at Ottawa for Kootenay and he felt confident that Mr. Green, if elected, would be entirely capable antl fitted to fill the position vacated by the new railway commissioner, :he speaker, considered himself an oldtimer; lie had come to Kootenay 1880, but when he came down the Columbia river he found Green brothers doing business in the country. And before that they had been on the main line. Mr. Selous referred to Mr. Green's residence at Ainsworth and Kaslo and to his good work ns provincial member for ihe main lake constituency. Servicn to Lumber Industry. His record as minister of hinds anil works was familiar to all, but there was one thing he would like to recall. Every one in Kootenay was very interested In the lumber industry and its prosperity and It wus Mr. Green that the lumbermen, and every one in Kootenay, hail to credit with the Introduction of legislation which had removed many of the difficulties which t the lime confronted tlie lumbermen and had placed the industry on u basis permanency. In 1000 Mr. Green had taken up his rl'sldetice at Victoria, continued Mir.

VANCOUVER, B.C., May 10—A special cable says Premier McBride sails tomorrow. He is impressed with tho enormous Increase In the number of British financiers and investors interested in British Columbia. The province, he says, is climbing to quite new heights in British esteem. Regarding tlio provincial offfices here Premier McBrlde expects to secure the approval of his colleagues of an option he has taken from the London county council of a !>0 year lease on a block of land with 56 feet frontage on the Strand, adjoining Australia's new building.

PRIVY COUNCIL DISMISSES APPEAL Questions May Be Put to Supreme Court INFLUENCE ON NE TEMERE CASE No Point of Internal Government Witheld From Canada (Canadian Associated Press.) LONDON, May 10—The provincial rights appeal of the province of Ontario wus today dismissed by the privy council. Chancellor's Judgment In delivering judgment the lord chancellor described the provincial ights case as most important. In speaking of the British North America act he said that there could be no doubt that under tho powers distributed between the Dominion on the one hand and the provinces on the other to cover the whole area of self government within the whole area of the Dominion It would be subversive of the entire scheme and policy of the act to assume that any point of Internal self government was withheld from Cnnada. Numerous points have arisen and may hereafter arise upon those provisions of the act which draw the itvidlng line between what belongs to the Dominion or the provinces respectively. General terms nre necessarily used ln describing what either Is to have and with the use of general terms comes tlie risk of confusion whenever a case arises in which It can be said that the power claimed falls within the jurisdiction of the Dominion and also within the jurisdiction of the provinces. It Is argued indeed that the Dominion act authorizing questions to bo asked of the supreme court- Is an Invasion of provincial rights, but not he- caur.c lho power of asking such tnies- -ttjS? behir-f--; eyclusivelv to the provinces. '-The rein Ki^r.'fndi-*. fiir W'fder. It Is no less than that no legislature in Canada has any right to pass an act for asking such questions at all. This said his lordship makes it so grave and far reaching, it would be one thing to say under the Canadian constitution that what has heen done could be done only by a provincial legislature within its own province, lt is quite a different thing to say tt cannot be done at all, being as it is a matter affecting tho internal affairs of Canada and on the face of It regulating the functions of a court of law which aro part of the ordinary machinery of government In till civilized countries. Is it then to be said that a power to place upon the supreme court the duty of answering questions of law or fact when put by the governor in council does not reside in tho parliament of Canada? If the parliament of Canada lias this particular power It ts not mentioned In tho British North America act neither explicitly or in ambiguous terms hi the IHst section.

Claims to the number of about eight were filed for water privileges on Anderson creek, allowing for about 50 miners' Inches of water to be taken therefrom. Mr Johnson contended that ti*he city had prior claims to all of them, and In view of the faet Hint Anderson crock only contained 40 inches of water at its lowest, he thought lhat all claims should bo made subservient to the city's.

" Green Is a man of force, strength and character, who will preserve the prestige Mr. Goodeve gave lo Kootenay at Ottawa and continue for Kootenay the glorious heritage Mr. Goodeve has -handed down," he said.

George Pedlar seconded and made ti plea to Hie convention lo select an East Kootenay man. Tho eastern portion of the riding had never yet been the residence of the member at Ottawa and although that district had not lost anything by it and had always been given a square deal he suggested that lt was East Kootenay's turn.

He read a telegram from Dr. Bonnell saying that he would accept the nomination if offered and pledging himself to support the choice of the convenUon. Nominate Mr. Hamilton. A. S.

Utah, Mny 16.—The eight delegates to tlie Republican national convention elected by the Utah stato convention, were pledged to "use all honorable means to secure President Taft's re nominal! on." A minority report of the resolutions committee recommended that Hie delegation be instructed for the candidate who will best represent the sentiment of the whole party to secure victory for the Republican party. But the majority report, which, in addition to the pledge for Taft, defended an untram- meled judiciary and called for legislation to protect ocean-going passengers and limit the term of presidents lo one term of six years, was adopted. PRIVY COUNCIL DISMISSES APPEAL (Continued from page one.) subject to the expressed reservations in the 101st section the Dominion parliament Is enabled to establish a supremo court of appeal for the provinces, and so when the supremo court was establiahed it had and has jurisdiction to hear appeals from the provincial courts, but of any power to nsk the court for its opinion there ie no word in the act. It depends upon whether such power is repugnant to that act. The province-* by counsel maintain In effect the affirmative and say that when the court of appeal from all the provincial courts is authorized lhat carries with It an implied condition that the court of appeals shall bo In truth a judfclal body according to the conception of a judicial character obtaining in civilized countries nnd especially obtaining In Great Britain, to whose* constitution that of Canada Is intended to be similar nnd they say that to place the net of answering ciuestions such ns tho Canadian act under consideration does require that court to answer, Is incompatible with the mahttainonco of such judicial character or of public eoulidenco tn tt or with free access to an unbiased tribunal of appeal to Wlilch litigants in provincial courts arc of light entitled. This argument said Hie lord chancellor in truth arraigns the lawfulness of so treating a court upon Hie ground that a court liable to ho so treated ceases to bo such a judiciary as the constitution provides, for the argument on behalf of the provinces was presented substantially as just stated though not in these identical words. but, however, presented no argument which falls short of llila could claim serious attention. If. notwithstanding its liability to answer (niestions, th? Canndian supremo court is still a judiciary within the moaning of the British Norlh America act, then there Is no ground for saying that the im- punged Canadian act is ultra vires. The lord chancellor went on to deal exhaustively with precedents likely to bo of use In determining the present appeal. Continuing the lord chancellor said that It appeared that the Idea of the ciuestions being put by the executive government to the supreme court of Canada was suggested in the first instance by the fourth section of the net of King William IA', for Hie earliest Canadian act on this subject, that of 1S75, adopts in effect the* words of the fourth section. This analogy no doubt has some value Inasmuch as this committee of the privy council, exercising the most important judicial functions, Is undoubtedly liable to be asked questions of any kind by authority of the crown nnd this procedure is actually used from time to lime though rarely, and with careful regard to the nature of the reference. On the other hand, it must lie remembered that members of the judicial romni.ittoo .^ro j-j.11 .privy councilors and bound as such to advise the crown when so requested In that capacity. Upon the whole, it does seem strange lhat a court, for such In effect It Is. should have been for three-quarters of a century liable to answer questions put by the crown antl should have done it without the least suggestion of impropriety or Inconvenience, if the same thing when attempted In Canada deserves to bo stigmatized as subversive of the judicial functions. Practice in Canada It. is more to tlio purpose, went on bis lordship, to consider what has been the practice in Canada under the British North America act and how that practice /lias boon regarded by the courts and the judicial committee of the privy council. By the terms of the 1875 act any question might be put to the supreme court. In 1001 and again in 1008 frcsli acts were passed providing for the samo thing In more detailed though not in wider terms and it is tho 11108 net whieh has given rise to this appeal. Between 1875 and today the supreme court of Citnndn ha: been nsked from time to time nnd hat repeatedly answered questions put tn it in accordance with those acts -if tho Canadian parliament, it la very important that In the six instances between tlie years l$7.*i and 1812 the answers given by the court have been subject to appeal to the judicial committee of the privy council under the power to appeal which was comprised ln the Canadian acts and which gavo authority to this hoard to entertain such appeals as though they were appeals from ordinary Jurisdiction. In all these cases the appeals were entertained. In somo cases the ans wers of the supreme court were modi fled by their lordships. In one case In which Lord Herschell delivered the opinion of the board, he declined tn answer some** questions on the ground that so dqjng might prejudice particular iflterojjW*'-. qr 'individuals. These circumstances, were much and legitimately dwelt Won on behalf of the Canadian attorney general as showing that the acts now alleged to have been ultra vires, were in fact, acted upon and so treated as valid not only by the court in Cnnada but also on appeal to Whitehall. It was urged on the other hand for the provinces, with perfect truth that In nn one of those cases was llie point raised and that the judicial committee would he indisposed to raise It when the parlies to Hie appeal concurred in asking n determination. It seems that this dors not dispose of the arguments. The bonrd would certainly ho at all times averse to talcing any objection which would binder the ascertainment of any point of law which the parties desired in good faith id havo determined, but it Is not ea'By to believe thai if there is any force In the contention of the present appellants the Judicial committee would hnve so often failed even to advert to. a departure so serious, ns It is now maintained, from what !s due to the independence and character of courts of justice. It Is clear, In deed, that no such npprohcnslon ever occurred to any of the great lawyers who heard these cases. That circumstance militates very strongly against tho view now put forward that it is repugnant to the British Norlh America act and subversive of justice to require the Canadian supremo court to answer questions not hi litigation, Great weight ought also to be attached to another significant circumstance. Nenrly all the provinces have themselves passed provincial laws requiring their own' courts to answer questions not ln litigation In terms somewhat similar to tho Dominion act which they now impugn. Tf it he said, as It was said, that section No, 101 of the British North America act forbids this being done by the Dominion parliament, that argument cannot apply to provincial legislatures because Section 101 does not apply to the provinces. Either then, those provincial nets nro valid whllo the similar act passed by the Dominion is invalid, wlilch appears very strange, or the provincial acts as well as the Dominion are ultra vires upon the general grounds already dwelt ob. that a court of justice ceases In effect to he a. court of justice whop such a duty is laid upon it. ' Why Point Raised Certainly, it is remarkable) that for 35 years this, point of view has apparently escaped notice, In Canada and u contrary view now Is said to menace tlio very essence of justice that, has heen tranquilly acted upon without question .by the legislatures of the Dominion nnd provinces, hy the courts In Canada and by the judicial committee ever since the British Norlh America act established the present constitution of Canada. It is difficult to resist the conclusion thai the point now raised never would liave been raised had it not btjen for the nature of the questions whloh have been put to the supreme court. If Ihe questions to tho court had boon limited to such ns are In practice, put to tho Judicial committee for instance, must justices of the peace nnd fudges bo resworn after the. demise, of the crown, .no one would have thought of saying lt was ultra vires, because the power conferred by the Canadian act, which is not and could not bo wider in ils terms than lhat of William IV aplplcable to the judicial committee, has resulted In asking questions affecting the provinces, or alteged to do so, but the ans* Wers are only advisory nnd will nn more affect limn tho opinion of law officers. Perhaps; another reason is that the. act has resulted In asking it series of searching questions very difficult to answer exhaustively and accurately without so many qualifications and reservations as to make tho answers of little value. The supreme court Itself can, however, either point out In its answer these or other considerations of a like kind or can makn tbo necessary represent a tions to tin governor general in fcouncll when it thinks right so to treat nny question that may be put and the parliament of Canada can control the action the executive. Yet, tho argunient lhat tu put questions is ultra vires must. bo tho same whero the power is rightly or wrongly used. If you say that it is ulna vires Id put some kinds of ques- tions, but not ultra vires to put other kinds of questions, then you will have to draw the line between what may be asked a'nd what may not bo nsked. That must depend upon what it Is judicious or wlso to ask and cam In no sense rest upon the considerations of tlie What In substance their lordships aro asked to do, Is to say that the Ca nadlan parliament ought not to pass laws Hho this because It may be cm barraaslng and onerous to a court and lo declare this law invalid because it ought not to have been passed. Their lordships would be departing from Ihelr legitimate province if they en tertalned tho arguments of the appel hint.1*!. They would really be pro pppiiiifepiBiiBia^ ! Service Must Speak A STORE is almost human. It is full, of temperament. It affects each customer with the composite personality of its management and staff. j i i There are stores and stores. There are "grouchy" stores and "smiling" stores. There are flippant stores and dignified stores. And the peculiar thing about each is that the goods or the prices have little to do with the store's temperament. It is the personality of the store that colors and defines the character of the goods from the customer's view-point and wins or repels approval. The temperament or personality of a store is vividly expressed in its face. The face of a store is its advertising. You can judge a store by its advertising the same as you can judge a man by his facial expression. Stores that honestly try to serve their customers best simply can't help advertising. It is the way of human nature that when we have spent the best of our brain power and physical and financial resources in building up something worth while, our enthusiasm bursts forth into publicity. We simply cannot restrain the desire to tell others about it. In the long run, service is what you pay for, always. The goods, as goods alone, are incidental. Service implies quality, fair prices, safe treatment, and honesty in every detail of every transaction. e "serving" store. The service store is the serving It is also the honest-advertising store.

The Trail team was particularly strong at the first but in Hie second half the Nelson team seemed to warm- up and get their bearings and scoring was thick and fast during the Whole period. Nelson had the wind against them during the first half and did no scoring. For most of the time play hovered round their goal posts through the clever combination work of thf visitors who knew how to work together better than the local men. In the secpnd half, however, n change came over both sides and a few minutes after tho resumption of play Bennett of the Nelson loam shot a pretty one through. Five minutes later Marsdcn put In another after some good combination work. In fact the Nelson boys seemed to get their feet about (his time and a few biil. Hunt rushes were seen. The Trail men were equally agile hut just a step behind the locals. They almost seemed to tire and lose energy for a while but wakened up again towards the lust. Goal No. 3 for Nelson came off the foot of Matthews during a scrimmage round the goal and then the play reverted to tlio other end of llie field. A shot from McDcvitt which hit the top hur of the goal Just out of reuch of Willlninson, made tho score 8-1. It wns speedily chunged to 4-1 by Ellis putting u beauty through the Trail goal after a few minutes piny. Phillips scored the last goal for Nelson and was followed hy McIIardy for Trail, a short time before Hie whistle blew. Barnes in goal for Trail was knocked out of the game by an accident to his knee In the middle of the second half while McHardy bruised Ids arm but continued to play.

LONDON, May 10.—The Welsh disestablishment b-il passed its second rending in the houSns of commons tonight, 348 to 267. * During the course of the debate the chancellor of the exchequer, Lluyd iGeorge, effectively used the charge that the noble families, whose representatives were the most strenuous opponents of the bill, on the ground that It pillaged the established church, ubtu'tied their vast wealth by spoliation of llie church In the time of the Reformation. A stormy scene followed Ids reference to a political leaflet, in which, he Sa d, the Duke-of Devonshire charged them with "robbery of God." "Doesn't he know," iiuerled the chancellor, "that the very foundation; of his fortune were laid deep In sacri lege and built on desecrated shrines and pillaged altars?" Among the voices raised In angry pr-jlesl Lord Hugh Cecil's was the most conspicuous, to which Lloyd George retorted: "These charges that we are robbing the church ought not lo be brought by those whose family tree Is laden with the fruits of sacrilege at the Reformation, Their ancestors robbed the Catholic church, the monasteries, the altars, the almshouses; they robbed the poor; they robbed Ihe dead. Then whPn we try .0 recover some part of this pillaged property for ihe poor, their descendants accuse us of theft, they whose hands are dripp ng with Hie fat of sacrilege."

Kven today we .00 many of the older properties being .eopenod und many rich strikes are le.ug made therein; and I believe tho ,iext movement we shall see will be ill he d.rectlon of a great re-awakening if 1I13 m.nlng induslry.

Member for Nelson Speaking of the pleasure it gave him to see so many representative Conservatives gathered In Nelson Mr. Maclean referred to the excellent spirit shown nt the convention. He paid a glowing tribute to Mr. Green nnd suid thut he was certain that when he went to Ottawa anything that Kootenny desired would be promptly attended to. He felt sure lhat when the government had lh-; time at its disposal adequate protection would lie given to the lumber industry, a step that he was confident would meet wllh the approval of everyone In tlie audience.

FRIDAY, MAY 17 'JBBBffl UMNRQF YESTERDAY'S CONVENTION - Of the choice of yesterday's Conservative convention little is necessary to be said. Mr. R. P, Green, the candidate, has been connected with Kootenay for the past 27 years and for most of that time has been a resident of the district. He went through the hardships of pioneering in the Kootenny, lie saw the coming and the going of the mining boom but not for one moment has he ever shown any evidence of loss of confidence in the country or its future. For more than a cjuarter of u century he has been first, last and always a Kootenny man. Kootenay's Interests have always been his first consideration und Kootenay lias benefited as a result. As a member of parliament, supporting the government, Mr. Green will he in a position to render the people of Kootenay better service than ever before, for Kootenay at the present time has ils problems to face. Chief among these may be mentioned the situation-in regard to the lumber industry and ihe question of the continuance of the lead bounty or the substitution therefor of an adequate measure of protection for load and lead products. In addition the interests of thn- fruit growers of Hie Kootenay require careful attention, especially should there he any revision of the tariff within the life of the present parliament. it stands to reason that, a supporter of the government should hnve more Weight in respect to each of these matters than could any opposition member possibly hope to have, especially when Uie government supporter would be a man of Mr. Green's ripe experience nnd energy. Mr. Green thoroughly -understands the needs and the requirements of the Kootenay. If elected, he can be trusted to place these needs and requirements before the govern ment at Ottawa in no uncertoin manner. Mr. Green in theso matters, as well as In all others appertaining to the welfare and the advancement of Kootenay, can be fully trusted to do h's full duty to the people of this constituency as he has never failed to dn in the past. As a member of Hie house f commons, however, he will be In a position to render Kootenay better service than ever before. The question for the people of Kootenay to deckle in the present by- election is whether ihey desire the benefit of these services. The matter s one for the electors of Kootenay. lt s for them to say. THE CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE In open convention the Conserva- Ives ■ of Kootenny yesterday selected dr. It, l-\ Green of Victoria as tholr tandnnl hearer in the by-election endered necessary by the retirement of Mr. A. S. Goodeve to accept a posi- on the Dominion railway commission. The names of two others, either of whom would have made a. credit- ■ible representative of Kootenay at Ottawa, were submitted to the nom- ting convention, but the delegates on the first ballot declared In Mr. reen's favor and he is, therefore, today the Conservative candidate nnd as h is entitled to, and The Dally News believes, will receive the enthusiastic and the loyal support of very member of the party iiii Koot- niiy as well as the large body of independent electors who on Septem- ■r 21 last declared their desire for a lange in administration and their Ith in Mr. it. L, Borden by voting r Mr, A. S. Goodeve, It may be said that the issues now e not the same as they were in September hist. In reply lt must be pointed out that the issue is to all Intents and purposes Hie same. The policy enunciated by Mr. Borden pre- lous to the general election of September was one of Canada for Canadians. The policy of Mr. Borden and of his government in power is that of 'anada for lhe Canadians. The people f Kootenay, ns well as of Canada enorally, iu September last declared y their votes in favor of such a pol- ■y. lias anything happened since lion that would cause the people of Cootenay to reverse their verdict in this matter? Tliat Is the question which the people of Kootenny must answer by the result of the present by-election. As was pointed out by Mr. Green In his speech in the opera house last evening, Kootenay has three chief industries, lumbering, fruit growing and mining, each and every one of which is entitled lo a fair measure of protection and to reasonable assistance in other ways. What the people of Koot y are called upon to declare is whether or not they desire this fair asure ot" protection and -issistnm whether they do not. That Is the no before the people of Kootenay in ihe present election. What Is the r going to be? Improved Ranch Forty (10) acres situated on the north shore of the West Arm of Kootenay lake, 12 miles east of tho City of Nelson. This tract has lako frontage of 700 feet, with good beach and slopes gently back from the shore just enough to give good drainage. Between five and six acres have been cleared and planted in orchard, comprising 500 fruit trees between three and five years old, some will be bearing this season. This property is situated In the midst of improved ranches. The wagon road passes through the front of the ranch and will be completed to Nelson soon, making a delightful drive and very convenient to settlors.. Steamboat landing within SO feet of property. This tract Is all suitable for fruit und vegetable raising, also dairying nnd will raise to perfection all kinds of frultfl and vegetables thai can be grown in B.C. The soil is a rich chocolate lonm with a clay subsoil, clearing very light, average cost about $35 to $■*& per acre (to clear.) Wo recommend this tract as an ideal orchard home, good soil, plenty of water, good neigh. bors, splendidly located, every natural advantage. Price including Improvements $150 pet- acre.

Rlcheson's last hope of escape from the death chair next week for the murder of Avis Llnell of Hyann'- cxpired tonight when announced thai he Wl Rlcheson's petition for commutation of sentence to the executive council. Tho statement from the governor followed the filing of the reports of tlio special insanity commission which declared the condemned man sane althougli subject to fits of hysterical Insanity The commission found that Richeson was sane nt the time of the murd- and that he Is sane nt the present Ume. In tho doalh chamber at Charli town, the prisoner lias borne himself calmly since he wns transferred from the Charles street jail Tuesday. It wj - apparent that he still had hopes that clemency would be extended to hlm and It was believed today that this alone was keeping up his spirits. Tho statement issued by Governor Foss shows thnt the alienists found that Rlcheson's family was afflicted very generally with insanity and that the contemned man is himself a neurotic, a somnambulist nnd a neura- llienic and subject to hysterical Insanity. The statement continues: Tho evidence, however, while clearly revealing these attacks. Indicates that his crime was not committed by him during an attack. Therefore, while there ts somo divergence of opinion among the alienists as to whether these attacks indicated actual Insanity, there ia sufficient ground for the conclusion that he is accountable for his crime, and that the exercise of executive clemency in this Instance would be contrary to the public good. The affidavits annl mcdlcnl evidence as to Rlcheson's unfavorable horedltar his lapses of consciousness and his a tacks of delirium, nre too voluminous to ho Included In tills statement arm aro not -suited to publication. "Executive clemency will md he ox tended in the case of Clarence V. T Richeson," the stntement continues "Tho prisoner was sentenced Upon till own confession and without trial for a ■irime which it appears Impossible thai iny normal man could commit. The BVldence shows that Rlcheson's family is heavily afflicted with insanity, that lie himself Is a neurotic, a somnambulist nnd a neurasthenic; that he Ib suhjeel to extreme emotional disturbances, marked by loss of memory, which two alienists have diagnosed as hysterical insanity, one physician adding the alternative term of hysterical delirium and the majority opinion Indicating that these attacks nre hysterical nttacks marked by emotional disturbances of brief dun/ton, with loss of memory, during the attack, nnd for a varying period following It."

Daily News Leased Wire.) CHICAGO, Ills., May IG—James T. Patten tonight received credit from market reporters for making the Chicago board of trade prices take one of the most remarkable somersaults on record. Cereals fell nearly five cents a bushel and provisions almost $1 a-barrel. That Mr. Patten design such an upset of quotations as look place hero today for all kinds of grain and provisions, no person asserts. It was slated, however, that a gigantic selling movement which got beyond all control today had Its start In his judgment and action regarding the wheat market. The firm with which Mr. Patten Is connected is estimated to have sold upward of 0,000,000 bush Ols within the last 48 hnurs. About 1 quarter of this was suid to have beei for Mr. Patten's personal account with some portion of the total at n loss. All of his own sales were said to have n completed yesterday but the impetus said to have heen given thereby had a cumulative effect which through the system of stop loss orders in vogue tn the option method of trading, finally toppled over, not only the wheat market but vnlues also of corn, oats and other speculative articles, notably pork.

(By Dally News Leased "Wire.) PARIS, May 10.—That Octave Garnler, the leader f the automobile bnn- dlits, died by his own' hand, is the opinion of Dr. Paul of the Prefecture of police, who performed an autopsy. The death wound, according to the doctor, was caused by a bullet fired point blank at very close range, which entered the right temple and passed completely through the head. In addition to this, an ordnance bullet tray- led the lower part of the thorax. Vallet, who met his end with Garnler In an eight-hour battle with the police and troops at the Nogent-Sur- Marne villa, was killed by two ordnance revolver bullets in the head. A search of the ruined villa today in the hope of finding bank notes, stolen bonds and other valuables, was unsuccessful.

NEW YORK, May 16.—To the dispassionate observer addhjouul evidence of inside selling or liquidation was forthcoming In the oourse of the stock market today. The tone was heavy when not distinctly weak and pressure was more or less pronounced throughout the session. The volume of business was large, not the lease significant fact be- ins the increased activity lhat marked the declining scale. All the leading shares, such as Reading, Lehigh Valley, Unlop Pacific and Tailed States Steel, leaded lower, with losses of lift2 points hy midday. On the other hand, there were gains of as much and more is some of the semi-active stocks Including International Harvester, while the more obscure iKsues*. among which mgy he mentioned American Matting, preferred) and Texas Company, displayed fitful periods of Improvement. American Can at SUW went to its lowest price in ov«u- a rontnigllt, but the final quotation reprc- sent-ad a handsome gain over Us figure of a month ago. Canadian Pacific at 270 attained a new high record, with a similar achievement for -Sears Roebuck. It is freely predicted that developments of advantage to tho shareholders of Canadian Pacific and Sears Roebuck are impending, hut till'-- sentimental value of these stocks on the balance of the list may be set down as -inconsiderable. Twin City Rapid Transit was supposed to bear some relation to Canndian Pacific and also enjoyed a brief period of activity at higher prices, while Brooklyn Rapid Transit shares and convertible bonds mirrored the change that has come over the local transportation companies. Some of the favorable factors of the day to W'luich no allenliion seemed to be paid were the better crop advices received from Mlnnc-soLa and tho IHikntas and tin- extraordinary figures shown in the country's foreign trade for April. Imports and exports for file month were larger than In any previous year, imports In- crcaJ-ing bv SB,000.000 with an (Increase of $31,0*00,000 for all shipments to foreign ports.
