NELSON, a C. MONDAY MORNING, JANUARY 26, 1914 50c PER MONTH. NO. 244 LIBERAL LEADERS GIVE MESSES Brewster and Macdonald1 Speak at Opera House. FEATURE LAND POLICY IN SPEECHES Declare Speculators Have Taken Up Large Areas in Province, H. C. Brewster, leader of the Liberal party In British Columbia, and M. A. Mucdonald, president of the Provincial Liberal association, on Saturday evening ^dressed a meeting in the opera hofise, devoting their remarks largely to a condemnation of the' provincial government for its land policy. Dr. N; Wolverton, .who was in the chair. In opening Uie meeting, said that some day there would be a general - provincial election.'.'He did not know when this.would take place, but be eould give the people a hint*" which would enable them to make a very good guess. The present government of British, Columbia, that was to say, Premier McBride and Hon. w. J. Bowser, who were the whole cheese that went with the political pie, knew, that there was a steady trend of public sentiment in the province away from them. They were watching It closely and when they thought it, would be dangerous to wait any longer they would bring on a general election; -'One'great safeguard, he said, was a strong and watchful opposition In the legislature or parliament. Without that safeguard d. democratic Institution could not possibly be a success. The result, without such an opposition, to watch, criticize and call the gcvern- ment to account, Inevitably tended to power gravitating to one, or two, or three hands,' to one, or two, or three men - becoming the government of the country. That was precisely the condition In British Columbia today. The Conservative party was supposed to be in power, but he thought the audience would agree , that tho. Conservative party did'not govern British Columbia, that the province was ruled by one, or ttvo, or three men who had gathered the reins of government into their hands. If the Conservatives who held seats in the house really governed the province the government would be a mighty sight better government than It was today, he declared. He paid a tribute, to Mr. Brewster • and'said that he was not in parliament today because the supreme power of the government had been almost exhausted to keep him out of the house. He had been told that it had cost tbe ■ Conservatives, the government, ?400 per vote to keep Mr. Brewster out of the' legislature. At the opening of his address, Mr. Brewster suid that ho was not hero to create partisan feeling in anyone's breast. He was here because the Liberals believed that the party ln power was so administering thc affairs of the pre vines thnt It was running toward the breakers. Life-long Conservatives hnd decided that it was time for a change, he said. He asked if the province could have any permanent success; if It could build up any permanent prosperity without developing the land'that was capable yj,,of producing . foodstuffs. British - Columbia' had many great natural re- ■ sources, but the fisheries, mines and timber were producing wealth to send out of the province for foodstuffs which were imported. Allowed Agents to Stake The government came into power In llJQiT with an enipty treasury and It was empty again. In 1907 the Land act, which provided that no one man could purchase from the government more than, one square mile, of 640 acres of land, was amended so that agents could he allowed to stake land. Agents then secured power of attorney from people who lived In cities and* had no intention of living on the land nnd went into the north of the province and staked large areas for. syndicates in other people's names. A ■ tremendous alienation of land had taken place in this way. In three years 144 syndicates or Individuals had taken up 1,284,728 acres of land. These figures did not take into account those who staked less than 10,000 acreB; they covered thoBe who secured between 11-000 and 12,000 acres. Eigbtee-Q of these people had staked more than 25,000 acres, three over 60,000 acres and 67 over 16,000"acres. Prnctlcally all of this land, said Mr. Brewster, was along the lines of the Grand Trunk Pacific and Pacific Great Eastern railways and had been locked up for the benefit of the speculators. The government had said that It was necessary to raise money for public works, yet for the five or six.million acres which had been sold up to 1913 the amount received was $7,110,998, while over 112,000,000-was outstanding. If the figures were examined, said Mr. Brewster, it would be seen that the bulk of this land, which he declared hud been given to the favored few, had been sold as second class land. Hon. W. J. Bowser had said that the J— Liberal speakers had not taken into account tHe 4 per cent, tax on wild land which could be'collected as a result of the sales, but, said Mr. Brewster, the favored few had been permitted to avoid the payment of this tax. The wild land tax should be bringing in f 1,000,000 per year yet the amount which had been collected, in- iCpatUwert ofl E«« £bwa MISS BELLE W.

' ThQ government will also be asked t0 provide a very liberal appropriation towards the Tranqullle sanitarium. Mounted Police; John Redmond of Kamloops brought In a resolution urging the government to establish a mounted police force. He said that a single district of 300 square miles, which averaged two families to the mile between Nicola and Kamloops, had not seen, a policeman since the abolition of the poll tax. He said that the establishment of a small body of mounted men would go a long way towards ridding the country of the lawlessness that periodically breaks out in unsettled districts. The resolution was seconded by Major Matthews of Nicola and carried unanimously, Dower Act, Another carried opposed the Dower act as now In force and recommending changes in that law so as to have the rights cf widows and orphans more fully protected. Poll Tax. The Nakusp delegation suggested the Imposition of a. tax on all adult/ malei/ln the province who are not at present paying school or property taxes. L. J. Edwards, who proposed the resolution, protested strongly against the people who are deriving benefits from the large expenditure on public works being allowed to get free of all taxation. The vote was a close one, hut the resolution carried. Prospectors Claims. The Rossland Conservatives brought In a resolution with regard to public advertising and submission to the highest bl'dder of prospectors' claims. "The law as it at present stands," said Mr. Edwards In proposing the resolution, "is an injustice, as It takes away from the prospector the fruits of his labors." It was seconded by- George Agnew and supported by B. Jacobs. The resolution, which carried, read: "Be it -resolved, that the' provincial government be urged to make such provision as would allow of such forfeited mineral claims becoming available for. being acquired by prospectors and others at a cost equivalent to that of fulfilling all ordinary requirements of the Mineral act up tb and including crown granting, and to make provision for arranging: for deferred payments so as to make It practicable for prospectors to acquire such mining property."

For instance, the development of the post- office will be arrested, and no money will be available for the real advances needed in naval education." Artist la Dead.

COMMISSIONS (By Dally, News Leased Wire) TOKIO, Jan. 25.—Addressing the budget committee of the diet, Baron Saimlda bas asked for an investigation of the charges that a German electrical firm had arranged to pay Japanese naval officers* commissions on all work done by the firm with the Japanese navy. The deniand grew out of the. sentencing to prison- last Wednesday in Berlin of a former stenographer of the Toklo branch of the Sel- men Schurklet Electrical company, on a charge of stealing confidential correspondence. During. the trial a letter showing that the firm had arranged to pay commissions to Vice-Admiral Fugii, former navalattache at Berlin, on all business of the firm, was read. Baron Shlmlda said that as allegations existed that naval officials had received commissions, he demanded to the production ot contracts for warships. He aded that" he was ready to make public the names of officers having dealings with German firms. Admiral Saito, minister of marine, made a sleeping denial of the Imputations against Japanese officers, but promised that, as the dignity of the navy was involved; he would order a thorough-; investigation.

(Western Associated Presa Special Cable.} LONDON, Jan. 25.-rLbrdMurray of Elibank, who refused all requests for interviews since ho returned to England, in a speech last Wednesday at a dinner given at the Holborn restaurant, by Lord Cowdray, ;to the hea.de of departments of Sip Weetmah Pearson & Sons, told his intimate friends and business associates gathered there1 the inside story of his South American trip.' '' ■ : "' Lord Murray acknowledged He- had come back a beaten man and said that his chagrin and disappointment were so deep that he could not go Into details. ' ;' " ' England Is now compelled to return * to the smaller type of ship and to the smaller calibre df gutis. for'the-announced British policy of construction of warships depended Wholly 6ft obtaining the adequate oil supply Which Lord Murray was to find in South and Central America. The ships voted last year of the 'Queen Elizabeth class are of 27,000 tons and 25 knots, with 12-inch guns, using exclusively oil fuel, and Winston Churchill, In announcing his program at that time, announced that In the future all ships of the British navy would use oil fuel. The admiralty planned to build five battleships according to this year's program of 30,060 tons each, but Lord Murray's campaign having failed, the announcement waa mado last week quietly, almost casually, that the five battleships of this year's program would- be of 85*60 tons and 21 knots, with 13.5 Inch gunsi coal being the principal fuel and,.oll only an auxiliary. Meanwhile, all the great powers' except France are adopting either 15 or 15 inch guns, while all are building battleships of vastly greater tonnage than the new British ships. Germany and Italy will have 15-inch guns oh ships of 20,000 and 30,000 tons; ItUS* sia 14-Inch guns on ships of 3-2,000' tons; Japan 14-inch guns on ships of 31,400 tons; the United States 14-Inch guns on ships of 31,400 and 38,000 tons;' and Franco 13.5-Inch guns on ships oi 23,500 tons. Navy secretaries say the heavy ishtps nnd guns ure sufficiently powerful to blow smaller vessels out of the water and that England, with Its lightweight fleet, would be swept off the sea 'in case of war by an adversary having numerically a smaller fleet but a preponderance of tonnage, armament and speed. Nevertheless, since Lord Murray's failure, the admiralty Is powerless, as all Its calculations were based on oil for fuel. To cap the climax of admiralty woe; after spending $1,250,000 in trying to perfect electric machinery for moving the turrets of the Queen Elizabeth, alt machinery has had to be'torn'out iind replaced by hydraulic machinery. When Lord Murray went, to South America. J. C. Thompson, a Canadian, of Toronto, of the Colombia Syndicate, Limited, and Charles E. Otis, of New York, had been ln Colombia for two years prospecting for oil, and derfotinc- ed largo tmets of land in various states through Colombian agents and under Colombia laws; but the titles have not yet been perfected by gov-' ernment recognition ofl the denouncements. Lord Murray persuaded' Dr. Aurajo, Colombian minister of public works, to issue the necessary denouncements, thus killing tho rights of ail those whose titles were not yet completed by government recognition. Immediately afterward, Lord Murray's concession was signed by Dr. Aurajo. A letter signed by Lord Murray speaks of the large sums expended In Colombia, but does not give any details. Tlie repeal of the law by Dri Aurajo gave Lord Murray a right to search In the Colombian archives, enabling the Englishman to take advantage of the record and the results of two years' investigation conducted by Messrs. Thompson and Otis, and to seize under the concession all the valuable ground the Colombia syndicate discovered. Messrs. Thomas & Otis hurried to Bogota and started a plan to balk Lord Murray, the result of which was L,ord Murray's concession failed of approval, while the Colombians became bitterly antagonistic toivardt Lord Murray's scheme to make Colombia not merely an appendage of'Great Britain but to put the country In the pocket of a private corporation, namely Pearson's. Thompson ft Otis con-' tintted their campaign through South ■ and Central America, killing his efforts everywhere, and Lord Murray re-1 turned totally unsuccessful, beaten fn all five of the countries he visited. Meanwhile Dr. Aurajo signed his repeal of the old law and the titles of the Thompson-Otis syndicate were completed by government recognition, while the Colombian congress passe* a new law confining all rights In oil and mineral lands to citizens of thQ republic of Colombia, J ' PAGE TWO CIjc 3to(l}>Jlttofi MONDAY JANUARY H Good Books 2™ $1.00 INCLUDES SOME OF THE FINEST WORK OF THE MOST FAMOUS LIVING NOVELISTS—HANDSOMELY BOUND IN CLOTH The Mother Eden Phtllpotte Mr. Wingrave, Millionaire ., E.

BEDROOM IN TORONTO GENERAL HOSPITAL OCCUPIED BY SIR JAMES WHITNEY The premier arrived in Toronto on the morning , as against 88 at Us inception In February, 1913. Considering the fact thai this is the first year of existence of tlie Kootenay River Farmers' institute and taking into account the fact that the district covered, though a large one, is very thinly settled, except In the villages, these figures were considered satisfactory. During the first year the secretary reports that powder and mixed cars of flour and feed to the extent of over $2,000 had been purchased and distributed to members, while another car of feed is now on the way to South Slocan for the same purpose. Seven meetings were held during the year for various purposes and were sometimes well attended, but as it was necessary to hold these meetings In the evening the length of the district and the poor train service at night militated against a good attendance; also the state of the roads east of Bonnington was such that members coming from Taghum or Beasley by road would be obliged to walk. This resulted In few members from those points being present at any time, John Kay was chosen as delegate to represent the institute at the annual convention at Victoria. During the meeting he was accorded 15 minutes in which to speak and entertained his audience with a spirited speech on Institutes, past and present, this particular Institute, with occasional digressions Into politics nnd other matters relating to the general weal. He was received with loud applause. A motion was brought forward that the Institute hold regular monthly general meetings, but an umen-dment to this suggested that these meetings be held quarterly, on the first Saturday iu each Quarter, viz., on the first Saturday in April, the first Saturday in July and the first Saturday In October. After discussion the amendment was carried and meetings will henceforth be held quarterly, with such directors' and special meetings as the business of the institute may require, On motion by Mr. Power, seconded by Mr, Kay, the officers of 1913 were reelected to their offices with the exception of Glynn Morris, whose absence in Rossland has caused the appointment of J. D. Yeatman of South Slocan in his place. The board, accordingly stands as follows: President, Colllngwood Gray, Bonnington; vice-president, James M. Shepley, Shoreucres; secretary-treasurer, G. C. ilocltfort; directors, John Kay, Tag- hum; J.'D. Yeatman, South Slocan; Thomas Wheildon, South Slocan; J. (Ireenway, Crescent Valley; D. Morrison, Thrums; auditors, Arthur W. Dill, Shoreacres; Talbot H. Negus, Slioreacres. On motion by Mr. Whelldon, seconded by Mr. Shepley, the secretary was lire.cted to place himself In communication with the local superintendent of tho Canadian Pacific railway at Nelson with a view to seeing what could lie done In the special interests of the farmers shipping produce, to induce the Canadian Pacific railway lengthen the platform at South Slocan so a to meet the spur recently built from the government road for that purpose, and fie as to enable ranchers and others shipping to drive right alongside the platform and deliver their goods instead of being obliged either to carry each package or sack bout 20 yards or to go around by the bill and b^ck onto the platform abreast the station. A list of names was produced by the president sufficient to form an apple packing class this winter and the secretary was instructed to forward the same to the proper quarter with a view to having an Instructor sent to hold the class at the Junction.

While ome experts believe that the raising bf cattle as an agricultural by-pro [duct is likely In these new-settled districts, the authors of the Study we liave mentioned are Inclined to the belief that dairying Is more probable i Further, the growth of population the. west makes a great home fyarket for whatever cattle may be alsed In that district. For these rea fcons 'the authors consider that the eastward shipments which have been Biade daily for years past are likely Ito grow smaller and smaller, and per- Biaps in time may cease altogether The time may come when the United States must import Its beef from over peas, or elso bo more frugal in its con pump tion. Canada has the same problem, sayi jhe Toronto Nows, The ranges of AI lierta are rapidly being enclose'.! b; be settlers' wire fences. The newest. ireatest west, the Peace river district, ilready Is attracting settlers In large bumbers. If our population continue** |0 grow at the present rapid rate the time will soon come when the production of beef cattle ou a great scale must cease for lack of pasturage.

MONEY TALKS. I* Every little while, some man of (realth writes an article in a magazine jO&ittug out how foolish people are to iay bo much attention as they do to nouey. Yet we are all constantly finding out how easy It Ib to succeed a life If you r.have money, and con- ■versely, how hard it la to get along without- money, says tb0 Montreal |Dafly Mall. There Is no use beating about the bush. Money Is an Important factor in success today. The parent who allows bis son to grow up without placing a correct estimate upon the value of money does the young man an Injury. We have got to place an estimate, and a high estimate, upon the value of money. There Is no use blinking the facts. It Is an injustice to brtn,* up children for an Idealistic existence: we have got to prepare them for a life which, however we may deplore it. is the one they will have to go through. Many a young man is brought up to disregard money for fear he will become a money-grabber. Often his first lesson in the value of money comes when he goes to speak to the father of the young lady whom he wishes to marry. Then, too late, he finds out what money means. He obtains the lesson ln such a way that ho may well Imagine money to be the key to fulfillment of tils dearest desires. Then he becomes an ardent money grabber. Money Is the root of moat evil. Lack of money ls the root of a good bit or evil also. The man who desires success and comfort, and security from misfortune, must have money. Money Is so important today that no man can afford to disregard It, as we are sometimes told to do. About half of what ono hears regarding money today is simply deceitful and misleading, If unintentionally so. The duty of those who havo found out by hard experience what money means Is to tell those who do not know the truth and not to deceive them with high- sounding phrases about the futility of counting money as Important. Today the man who goes through life In business without acquiring a fair sum of money exerts influence through a limited sphere. Rudyard Kipling addressed the students at McGHl university a few years ago and told them .how really unimportant money-making counted in life. If Kipling were as much a practical man.as he is a literary genius, he would never have glve such shortsighted advice. The men who are willing to go through life disregarding money are few; those who can do so are still more rare. In the battle of life money is a two-edged sword, and those who are careless as to whether they possess It or not, are taking desperate chances. The world must grow a great deal better than It Ib before such advice regarding money as some Idealists give out with a lavish hand becomes anything but a delusion. We recall that when the penny bank system was first proposed for the common schools in Canada a great cry arose that it would make the children materialistic and mercenary. Yet the ByBtem was Introduced, and. It .has done good. It has made the children thrifty. It haB become a useful part of their preparation for life, for they are not going to live In Utopia. They are going to live in a land where every little dollar haB a meaning all its own. $-^:$4*4'<-5->§*H>-®^^ * WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING * Overeating Undoubtedly many ea-i Urn much ("id would be better with two meals tha.ii three, but it is a question for Individual adjustment, not by appetvte but by need.

PIDGIN ENGLISH In Shanghai, in nil shops, one finds Chinese familiar with Brtgllsli, but ofteft using much iildgin lOugilsli. "Pidgin" Is supposed to be derived from several changes of the word "business," which was' first shortened to 'busln," then through tlie . form of 'pishln," and finally became "pidgin." Pidgin English. Is the language lined in trade and households in the ports of China, where tho Chinese and foreigners deal with one another. It Ib similar In Its origin to the mixture or languages known as Llngua-Franca 1" the Levant and in other parts of the Mediterranean. It Is z direct translation of Chinese Into English, and strictly idiomatic. For instance, they say, "That book,,pay my, Instead of "give mo tho book." The Chinese tailors, speak fluently in this odd English. Recently an American lady went to a Chinese tailor in Shanghai to see him regarding putting feather interlining in a muff. The, tailor seemed-a trifle dazed as to what' sliR wanted1, and said: "li'long alio samo chicken fur?" He wanted to prove his intention of treating his customer right and told her: "Mv b'long alio same you, you b'long alio same my—b'loiig my yelly good fiend," and later, wishing to ask after one of the lady's daughters, remarked: "Miss A-— have catcheo master?"

CAT CURE FOR RHEUMATISM German Minister to Haiti Believes -Puss Will Absorb Disease From Him (By Daily News Leased Wire.- NEW YORK, Jan. 25.—Dr. Fritz Perl, German minister to Haiti, who arrived from Bremen the other day on the North German Lloyd steamship Grosser Kurfuerst, brought along with him as a companion one Wclssberg, a large white Angora cat, which shares his bed with him, Tbe minister said ho was a victim of rheumatism and that his idea in having the cat sleep with him was that it would gradually draw tho disease oul of his body into Its own. Weissburg appeared to be In good .health and meowed vigorously In Persian for his breakfast when his silk- padded box was brought on the pier by Yusef, his personal attendant. Dr. Perl said regretfully that his rheumatic cure would prove fatal for Welssburg in the end. During his .term of office in Haiti, Dr. Perl said, four presidents had been assassinated. The presidential term Is seven years, but the president who serves seven months is considered lucky In Haiti. Railway Commission Amends Order -fo,r.F«ncing of Track at Savona - ' . ( —Ground Frozen (By Dally News Leased Wire.) - OTTAWA, Jan. 25.—The railway commission has issued an-order dealing In a general way with the question cf the fencing af the lines ■ of the Canadian Pacific railway. In British Columbia, but referring more particularly to a section of the road in the vicinity of Savona. sioner ityayion, "It appears that acting upon' tho provisions of the amendment made to tho Railway act in 1911, an application .was made by the railway; company' for an order of the board excusing, fencing at a large number of points along the line of railway in British Columbia. "ft is beyond all question that at many points in British' Columbia fences .would merely bo a waste of money, 'particularly in the sections which are largely covered by the application, where the line is built along the .Thompson and Fraser rivers on the one, side and there are'mountains and, blbffs on the other,side. "The;fact of the necessity of fencing having been called to the board's attention, order No. 20,893 was Issued, This order required the company to erect and,-maintain fences and direct ed the,work to be completed within three months, and also rescinded'the order relieving ' the company from erecting and maintaining fences in so far. as that portion of its railway be tween Savona and Ponnys was con cerned. "Application Is now made by the Canadian Pacific railway for an ex tension of time for the reason that (lie ground Is frozen at thc present time, and asking that an extension should be given until June 16 next. There being tho necessity to fence, the former order should not have been made In so far as this particular part of the railway Is concerned. The former order having' been rescinded, tho company's statutory obligation arises. This statutory obligation is not an obligation which should made subject to relief by temporary extension, under these circumstances, as an extension of the time within which the fences arc to be erected might be construed as relieving the company from its statutory obligation during the extended period for fence construction. As thc company's liability to fence is not under the board's order, but Is under the statute, in my view, this should not be done. On tho other hand, the engineer reports thnt the request, owing to frost, Is reasonable nnd that an extension should be granted. "Under these circumstances, It seems to mo that the proper thing to be done is to issue an amending order the effect of which would bo to strike out the board's direction that fences be erected and maintained on the railway between Savona and Penny's and that the work would be completed within thrco months and simply to cancel the former order relieving the company from erecting and maintaining fences along the portion of its line, In so far as that portion of its line between Savona and Pennys Is concerned, The effect of (his will be that the company cannot be said to bo in default in connection with the construction directed by the board, but will leave the company liable for claims otherwise recoverable brought against the company in respect of cattio killed on this section of the track. jTHE WORKWOMAN'S !

REPORTS ON POPE'S HEALTH DIFFER Heart Stimulants Administered By Orders of, Physicians—Fatiguinn Ceremonies are Postponed. ROME, Jun, 25.—The Tribuna publishes an article today on tiie health of the pope, which brings forth a denial from the Vatican, "Although the pope 'dally receives cardinals and bishops," says- the Tribune, "frequently granting collective audiences, his .health causes anxiety. It has been observed that the pontiff's eyes are at times liihus/unJjy brilliant, and that periods of apparently normal strength are succeeded by moments of great weakness. It hns been learned that the pope sometimes require^ the administration of stimulants so that he may -be able 'to grant audiences which Is hie wish te grant at any cost." From the Vatican eonie,s emphatic denial of tiie statements, it being declared the condition at the pontiff is quite norma,!, The Vatican officials add that preeaut'ions 'have been taken to conserve the Btnength of the pope In every way. Audiences have been diminished and fatiguing ceremonies have been postponed or dispensed with while an equal temperatiure b.us 'been maintained In ihlj apartments on account of rigorous winter. The explanation Is also nwde thnt heart stimulants are admlnstered only on orders of the pope's physicians.
