o Further Concessions on

ir Edward Carson Sends
Warlike Message to Belfast Unionists.
'By Dally News Leased Wire)
J LONDON,.March 16.—A settlement
It the Irish home rule difficulty apparently has been' little .advanced by
pe British government's concessions
thc UlBterltes, and taking the as-
KertlonB of both political parties at
"heir face value, -the deadlock today
jemains aa Immovable aa before Pre-
'jiier Asqulth's. conciliatory offer was
-ade In the commons on March 9. The
|*mers of the Ulster covenant declare
xrongly that nothing less than the
letmanent exclusion of the Protestant
buntles of Ulster from the Irish government at Dublin, instead of the proposed six-year option, will be consld-
ved by them.
[The more radical covenanters demand, not only the exclusion of the
|>ur counties—Antrim, Armagh, Londonderry and Down—in which: the
f/otestants are in the majority, but
■ley want the entire province of Ul-
Iter excluded. Anything else, they
\y. would be desertion of their com-
tidea In counties where Protestants
■re In the minority, and will be treas-
lii to their covenant.
TSlr Edward Carson, leader of the
Silster Unionists, today eent a message
|f|j Belfast saying:
"So far aa our preparations are consumed, the pronouncement of the government,' if anything, necessitates a
Till more forward movement this

Br ought to mako."
n Sir Edward RuBSetl, who Is a close
[Hend of Premier Asqulth, writing In

Twites: '■

lonfidont that Premier Asqulth hns
iade up hla own mind to'let1 the

Obstruction in Fraser River to Be Re
moved  hy  Government—Caused
By Huge Rockalide.
(By Daily News Leased Wire)
OTTAWA, March 15.—During an inspection of the Fraser river spawning
beds last September, It was ascertain
ed, that in consequence of construction
work of tbo Canadian Northern railway, alonty thp side of Hell's Gate canyon, some 'distance above Yale, slides
of rock and gravel had gone into the
river at two different places forming
obstructions which seriously interfered with the ascent of salmon to the
snawnlng iheds in the upper reaches
of the river.
At the time large numbers of salmon were below the obstruction seeking to make their way beyond them.
Immediately work was undertaken by
the department of marine and fisheries in the way nf making a channel
through the obslructions to enable the
salmon to ascend-
By means of such channels, a large
number of salmon that would otherwise havo perished beyond the blockade, were enabled to get beyond it and
to their spawning grounds.
Quito recently another slide took
-lace which started about 300 feet up
tho mountainside ajbove tbe railway
an() In Its descent carried away
feet nf the tunnel portal and about 100
feet dt tho railway bed. Such it large
quantity of material came down with
(he slide and it travelled, with bucIi
velocity that it apparently had gone
right across the channel of the rivet
making a fall or about 15 feet in th
hod of the river in n, short distance.
It will fie quite impossible for sock-
eye salmon to negotiate such a fall,
so that if tho obstructions were not
removed forthwith, no sock-rye sal
mon, the most valuable species ascending the river, would this year
reach their spawning beds, which
Would result largely in wiping out the
run in 1018, and each succeeding four
year period  thereafter.
In view of the large value of the salmon fisheries on the Fraser which can
Wifely be estimated at $500,000 per an
mini, extraordinary measures tn remove the obstructions are justified,
The work can only be done during the
next few weeks.
In these circumstances, the gov
ernment, on tlie recommendation o
the Hon. J. D. Hazen, minister of
marine nmi fisheries, has .authorized
tho nlaclng of a sum of money In the
supplementary estimates to cover the
cost of the work, and the chief inspector of fisheries for British Columbia
had been instructed to arrange with a
competent construction compmiy for
the removal of *the obstruction,

stress on the fact that if it is the intention of the rancher to make money
out of his stock it pays him to keep
thoroughbred stock and particularly
to breed from thoroughbred sires. He
pointed out the advantages of communities owning thoroughbred hulls

Baya for dairy cattle and Yorkshires
and Famworths for hogs.

DANGER OF MORE
GIRLS THAN   BOYS
Suffrage  and   Other' Feminine   Movements for independence Due
to  Overtupply.
During the next 20 years it is probable that many more boys will he
born than girls, and It Is expected
that this disproportion will be large
enough to moke up for tbe present
over-supply of women. That there are
too many women in the world Is very
evident. The suffrage movement nnd
other plana tb given women more independence are largely due to this
feminine over-supply.
If there were an exactly equal number of men and women; and if each
lived equally' long, there would be
no need for. women to enter business
life, because utere would be a husband
for each one. As It now is, there av
not enough husbands to go around and
this brings such an element of chance
Into the marriage question that most
girls think it wise to safeguard themselves against the possibility of never
marrying, by learning to make thalr
living in some.other way.
The younger a woman is when she
gets married,  the  more  likely   that
most of "her children will be f^lrla
the older she   Ib   at   marriage,   tbe
greater the likelihood that her children

wilt be boys. Recent inveatigitio,is
have shown that where women have
become mothers at 19 years or younger, there was an average of 44 girls to
29 boys born. In the case of women
who were between 19 and 24 yearB of
age when married, the figures showed
an average of 53 girls to 45 boyB. Between the years of 24 and 32, the
proportions gradually became less,
and between the years of 31! and 3G
boys and girls were horn in equal proportions. From 36 to 42, tlie proportion was f,2 hoys to 41 girls, ahd between the ages of 42 and, 48, it was
04 boys to 27 girls.
The two or three preceding generations have been as notable for marrying young as the present generation
Ib waiting until later in life. It follows that the preceding generations
had more girls than boys, and that
the present generation is likely to have
more boys than girls.
Tho larger the number of girls the
greater opportunity a man has to
make his choice and the less he feels
the need of haste. Where women uie
few, a nian is more likely to take advantage of the firat opportunity to
secure a. wife, lest other chances
should not arise. Again, the girl who
Is self-supporting is well aware that
marriage implies tho stoppage) of
many privileges and she is, iher-'fare,
less ready to respond to the adV-tn*'-3i3
of a lover. The high coat of living
also helpB prohibit early marriage.
All theBe conditions tend to delay
the age of marriage. Our grandmothers married when they were 17
or 18 years of age, our mothers wh-iii
they were 21 or 22. During the hist
10 years tlie average age of marriage
has advanced to 24 or 25. The rate
of delay Is increasing and shortly will
have reached the point at which more
boyB will be born than girls, and for

KNOWN TO SOME PEOPLE
' Martin Harvey, the English actor-
manager, who Is now on an all Canadian tour to thc Puclfic coast and
two weeks through the maritime provinces before coming into Montreal. As
he had not visited America, for ll
years, and* then only the larger cities
he was comparatively unknown lh the
small towns of Nov-- Scotia and New
Brunswick, and this circumstance
gave rise to a couple of Incidents
which Mr. Harvey narrates with gusto.
When the theatre manugcr at New
Glasgow, N. S„ was approached by Mr.
Harvey's agent with a request for a
booking, the manager asked contemptuously who was Martin Harvey, and
seemed disinclined to continue negotiations. The agent pressed his arguments, whereupon tbe manager, evidently thinking to dismiss the subject, called out to bis property man,
stage carpenter, bill poster, ticket
taker, orchestra leader and general
handv man, who was working under
the stage: "Say, Joe, did y'ever heat'
of Joe Harvey?"
Joe, however, happened to be «
rather recent arrival from England
where .he Wf-d been employed at Drur>
Lane theatre, so he promptly answered:    "Sure  I've heard of him."
"Would he d0 any 'business here?"
was the manager's next question.
"Why, he wouldn't! come to this
dump," was Joe's scornful reply.
"Oh, yes, he will If I want him."
said the -manager. "Would he draw?"
"Just pack the house, that's all,"
was Joe's dictum, ami tbe contract
was thereupon cloned. — Canndian

THOUSAND SEE QAME -■■-.,
(By Dally News Leased wire.)
TORONTO, March 15.—Five to two
hardly reflects .the. credit due the. Victoria team for their work in the opening game pf the world's aeries last
night. With a bit more of luck the
score might have been reversed, The
.visitors in the first and second periods
shaded the National Hockey association champions, and but for the marvelous work of Holmes, who gave one
qf thc best exhibitions of goalkecplng
ever witnessed on the local arena, the
weEternera would have piled up a more
substantial lead  in the threo periods,
It was a splendid crowd of over 0,000
that packed the arena when the game
begap, ' The visitors surprised the
crowd by their skill with the six-man
game.
Time and again Patrick and Genge,
after beraklng up dangerous looking
sallies by the local forwards, came
sweeping down the ice, Patrick surprising tho crowd by his exhibitions of
speed, while Genge's corkscrew rushes
on the net caught the fancy of the enthusiasts. Of the forwards, Poulin
was, probably the most effective man
on the Ice and his work gave Holmes
many apxlpus moments,   ■
The game throughout wns a fast,
close checking affair, and the locals
attempted little, combination until the
final period, when they caught the
visitors temporarily demoralized and
rati In three goals in quick succession.
Up to that time It was anyone's game,
with the visiting teiim, if anything,
having a. little.the bettor, of.it.
But the visitors would not be denied,
and kept fighting for the goal ttyit
tied tho score. It came after one bf
Patrick's end-to-end efforts. After relieving at his own goal mouth, he carried the puck down through the whole
Toronto team, drew out the defence
and passed to Dunderale well In.
Holmes was caught alone and was
easily beaten. A minute later Poulin
came down with a spectucular rush,
eluded tho whole team and shot in
close on Holmes and the latter was
extremely lucky to save it. The visit
ors were now playlngthe fastest hockey
of the night.
. Ulrlch came on for Dunderdale and
Initiated a- rush that only ended when
Holmes ^vent out and met him. Patrick, a minute later, carried it back
again, but Marshall secured It, and
from away out, beat Lindsay with the
goal that gave Toronto the lead.
The Victorias came down time and
again, and simply bombarded the Toronto nets, but could not beat Holmes.
Some of the best hockey of the game
was shown by the visitors for the remainder of tho period, but there was
no further score. Line-up:

campaign of wholesale tripping and

on the ice half the time. The officials
lost all control over them and they

Even in the midst of the turmoil,
however, Hall of the Qnebece gave a
remarkable exhibition of fast skating
and wonderful goal shooting.

through the loss of the services of Del
Irvine   the  star  coverpolnt,  and   Stan
Marpies, the brilliant wing player, and
worn out through grueling matches on
Heavy Ice during the past three days,
the Monarchs were beaten by tlie Toronto R. & A. A, team here Saturday
night by the score of S to 5 in the
first of two exhibition gamea, Tho
smallest crowd of the season turned
out, but were treated to the best exhibition -of hockey of the week. With
Dick Irvln back in the line-up, the
Monarchs showed a wonderful improvement over their Allan eup form,
and, despite the wet ice, the play was
fast from the start. The Torontos
came in for a lot of abuse from the
spectators for their underhand tactics
in stopping players by sueh methods
oh catching an opponent's sweater,
hooking or tripping when "out of reach,
which is foreign to western hoekey.
■ The Torontos put up a fast exhibition and deserved their victory, but
not by a margin of three goals* Stuart,

night, and several easy shots passed
him. Del Irvine*, was tlie star of tho
game, scoring four nf the five goals.

HELPING   THE   POOR    LITIGANT.
An interesting departure Ib about
to be made in England for the purpose
of enabling poor persons, unable to
ta-t-are -.redress of grievances because
of want of means, to obtain, without
charge, the necessary legal advice and
assistance, 8ayB the Toronto World.
The new department will submit the
■various* cases for opinion, and the
rules governing its operation are now
in course of preparation hy the lord
chancellor, the master of the rolls,
the president of the probate, divorce
and admiralty division, Mr. Justice
Plckfqrd and other members of the
bar. --"-the rules are* expected to be
framed so tbat enquirers can readily
an^ easily learn where to go. One
department will handle all the cases
submitted and will forward them to
the appropriate division. Lists in
each diviBion will be kept of counsel
and solicitors willing to report upon
applications and to assist those whose
cause of action Ib approved. No fees
of any kind will be payable, but remuneration may be granted out of
treasury funds.
Scotland for many years has had a
Bj-stem designed to'enable poor litigants to bring their cases hefore the
courts. Every year in the supreme
and local courts members of the bar
are, appointed to report whether
poor applicant has a probable cause
of action, and if they bo report the
litigation is handed over to the agents
and counsel acting for this class of
litigant. No court fees are charged
and in the event of a favorable judgment costs are recoverable from the
defendant on the usual scale. Many
successful lawyers have started o*
their career as agents or counsel fo:
the poor and the system has thus not
only assisted In the obtainment or re
dress, but has furnished a field of valuable experience to budding talent.
THE    DUKE    OF    SUTHERLAND'S
LANDS.
The sale value of the deer forests
and- grouse moors belonging to the
Duke of Sutherland will be given an
actual test when, about 300,000 acres
of the duke's lands in Sutherland are
put up at auction next October,   Pos
sibly, says the Toronto Mail ana Empire, because of the unsatisfactory ending of his dispute with Lloyd George
over the value of his Scottish lands,
the duke has decided to test their
market value. Lloyd Ceorge declined
to buy in Sutherland at two pounds
per acre. The duke pointed out that
much of this land was incapable of
sustaining crofters, and that he was
doing a kindness to keep the land as a
sporting reserve. He also pointed out
how much of his land—he is the biggest land holder in Britain—was Bet-
tied and ■ productive. Lloyd George
never had any Intention of having the
government acquire any Buch large
holdings,, hut apparently the duke Ib
determined to prove his point, even
though the Lloyd George part of Uie
incident be ended.
It is stated that In Sutherland there
are about 200,000 acreB yielding practically no sustenance. Yet there are
strathB and glens which in former
days were occupied by hundreds of
crofters, A parliamentary return has
shown that by the end of last May
there were 4,000 applications made for
small holdings in Scotland, and of
these few had been granted. A commission reported in 1892 that 1,782,-
000 acres under deer forest and grouse
moors were suitable for agricultural
purposes. The total acreage in Scotland now devoted to purposes of sport
is 3,560,000 acres, or about twice the
area considered fit for agriculture in
1892. It is possible that the breaking up of the Sutherland estates, now
going on gradually, will enable the
placing of the land in the hands of
small holders directly, though If It
means merely the changing of landlords it is not likely the new tenants
will improve their conditions. Even
if the Duke of Sutherland sells 300,000
acres, he will have a million left The
working out of the break-up will bej
an exceedingly interesting process,
both politically and, so far as Scotland is concerned, economically.

After all, our Canadian winter is

gin to look for winter too early. We

Pleasures of Anticipation.
These are the days when seed catalogues and magazine articles that tell
you all about how to make a garden
throw the ordinary best-seller into the
background. If only one per cent of
the flower beds and vegetable patches
that are being set out in the imagination could be brought to the realities
of midsummer, what a different world
this would be. The spirit Is willing,
but the ability to spade and hoe and

Why Blame Him?
Abuse of Gutelius, who exposed incompetence at Ottawa, is morally and
intellectually on a par with abuse of
the detectives who exposed bribe-taking at Quebec. Canada Is asked to
discuss and reprobate the discoverer
of the Incompetence that coat this
country $40,000,000 in the construction of the National Transcontinental
T.'lway, Why blame the men whose
duty required them to carry the

The SwiBg officer, Frederick Haldl-
mr.nd, afterwards governor-general of
Canada, served in the war which gave
thia country to the British, During
the winter following the capture of
Quebec, he was in command! of the
forts at Niagara and Oswego, and was
sadly troubled with the appearance
amongst his troops of many cases of
that dread disease, scurvy. It was "of
a sort prevalent amongst seamen, for
which tho damp air Was blamed." Supplies of lime juice, vinegar, elder and
other things thought likely to alleviate
the disease were sent in. On this
date in 1760 Gen. Gage wrote from Albany to explain that he had been unable to send "the molasses" as expected, owing to the going off of the
snow, and that it would In consequence
have to wait to go up by water, when
the lakes and streams became .navigable. "Your men will get the better
of their distemper when fresh herbB
spring up" was bis cheerful prophecy.
And unquestionably Col. Haldlmand
needed encouragement, for there had
been an -extraordinary number of
deaths in the garrisons under his
charge. But he also was anticipate
improvement in the spring, He had
caused large gardens to be prepared
both at Niagara and Oswego, for he
knew the value not only of fresh vegetables as a preventive of scurvy, but
also of outdoor work.

BACK TO THE  LAND
To the Editor of the Dally News:
Sir,—In reading an article fn your
Issue of March 10, under the heading
"Back to the Land," 1 want to point
out a few points in which the writer
and myself hold different views. He
says that to got on the land is the
only solution to the high cost of living.
It would certainly be a great step
towards betterment, but I have been
trying it myself for the last few years
and I find that it Is not so easy as It
looks on paper. I would select a piece
of land to find that it belonged to some
syndicate and not for sale. I then
found another piece and found* it was
under litigation between one Heinze
and the Canadian Pacific railway
1 travelled this district north, south,
east and west and found scores of preemptions taken up years ago and not a
particle of work being done on them.
The pre-emptora do not want the land
and they do not want any one else to
have It, and the -commissioners seem
to encourage them In their dog In the
manger tactics.
Some are being held for a price and
others are not worked because the high
wuges the writer refers to does not nl-
low a man to save enough to quit his
employ during the summer months and
work on the land and as no one will
supply us with thc necessary capital
we have got to obtain It somehow.
I eventually landed on a jack pin*
thicket where I thought no one but
my crazy self would attempt to settlo,
and where there Is not $com tovpltch
a 12 1)y*aeig'Et tent, only to find <
application that it was covered by
timber -license, and there is not a stick
of timber on it more than four Inches
thick.
If you know anyone who Is anxious
to go back to the land I will show
them where this place Is, but personally I am disgusted with trying. 1
can't afford to pay the price, that Is
usually asked, notwithstanding the fact
that I have been working among the
high wages for the past eight years.
The writer speaks of Mr. Ford and
his $5 a day. It' I did not laud Mr.
Ford, I would not be standing up to
my convictions as a working man.
Mr. Ford knows what he can afford
to pay, and If lu* is making profit
when paying such a wage, what must
he have been making when lie waa
paying {2 to i'i, and who was
he making It from but the producer.
As a side Issue, he also knows that he
can, for the present wage, get the best
artificers that the country can supply.
The writer seems to think that labor
organizations are a source of evil;
what Is the matter with the fanners
having their union and working on thc
same lines. The farmer produces the
goode and sells them, not at his prico,
but at the price of some trust or corporation to whom he Is practically
compelled to sell or else peddle hla
goods for miles In a locality that does
not need half the staff that the locality produces; otherwise he may let It
rot on his hands.
The consumer pays high enough for
the products, but the (me who gets the
benefits of the farmers' hard work and
long hours and the consumers' high
price Is the man in between, who does
the buying and selling and In a great
many Instances never sees the stuff
from which he derives a huge fortune.
The state of Maine is a great potato
producer, and by reading you find that
the entire crop for 11*10 was sold by
the producers for $8,000,000, the same
crop realizing $50,000,000 In New York,
The farmer got one-sixth of the value,
who got the remainder? I have
clipping from a newspaper that tells of
a farmer who sold a barrel of apples
that he had produced and packed, and
when packing ho wrote a little note
and* buried It amongst the apples. Tbe
barrel of apples was eventually bought
by a gentleman fn a certain city and
when he opened them he found the
farmer's note, which read: "I got 76
cents for these apples, what did ytou
pay for them?" The gentleman hnd
bought them for $5.10.
Every sane person must admit that
labor unions have done much for the
laborer and there Is no reason why
farmers' unions could not be run on
the same system ao that they will get
a little more of the wealth they pro-

duce, and eventually cut out the use-;
less middleman, who alone is responsible for the high cost of living in my
humble opinion.
When speaking with contempt of
airy labor agitators, the -writer should
remember that once upon a time there
was one who was credited with discontent, was branded as a thief and
a traitor and called an agitator; he
was persecuted in every manner possible and then crowned with thorns
and crucified. We now place a different construction upon his ideas and
worship Him os the Saviour of mankind.
A labor agitator is a very useful being providing he ia not a. fool, and the
workers have no more use for a fool
agitator than has any other member
of the public.
In ,Mr. Nash'a opinion, present wages
and hours are a great inducement to
the farmers' sons and laborers, but
how many of them stay In the mines,
mllle and factories, unless they get an
exceptional job. There are hundreds
of men who would gladly go back to
the land If they could afford to quit
their Jobs for a month or two, but
their wages are too low, not too high,
that ls the trouble, and when pay day
comes around and they have paid their
bills there Is nothing left.
There are men working all over the
Boundary district for $2.75 a day and
raising a family, who would gladly
tackle the land and willingly work the
12 or 14 hours a day and enjoy Nature's pure air Instead of the stifling
air of the factories, mine gases and
smelter fumes, together with the numerous dangers that are connected
with these occupationa, If they could
only obtain the land ln their own right.
We realize that neither the producer
nor the -consumer gets what ls coming
to him, but instead of downing the
labor agitator who la continually trying to better the conditions of the so-
called lower classes, why, help to lift
the farmer as the laborer has been
lifted and remember that the laborer
has not yet quit rising, so it Is time
the farmer waa getting busy and keep
Ing time with the wheels of progress
or he Is Juat about due to get run over.

TESTING AXLES WITH KEROSENE
In many European railroad shops
they test crank shafts with nothing
more wonderful than kerosene, says
the American Machinist. The principal locomotive shops in France and
England have adopted the method.
When an engine goes into the shop
for general repairs it is thoroughly
inspected as follows: AU grease and
oil is first removed and the parts given a bath of kerosene, after which the
surfaces ar« all wiped as dry as possible with clean waste or rags. The
wheels are then placed some -distance
apart on a track, and two pairs rolled
together at a speed of perhaps three
or four miles per hour.
The force of the shock or impact
shows the slightest crack, from crys-
talliation or otherwise, by forcing out
the small particles of kerosene-which
have been secreted in the cracks. In*
spe-ction after impact, locates the crack
by means of these heads of paraflne
showing on the surface. It is claimed
that this method hus never failed to
locate a defective crank axle pin or
driving journal, ana in some instances
inherent defects, which could hardly
have heen found in any other manner,
have heen detected tn new axles.

<8> -2-
BRITISH      COLUMBIA      MILITARY
AND AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
To the Editor of The Dally News.
Sir: Agriculture is no longer a
business in which we can muddle
along anyhow and worry out success-
fully In the end. Competition in the
! modern world involves on nil sides
■ highly trained efficiency. The days
| are past when it was sufficient, as It
were, to poke a potato into the ground
and watch it grow. Nowadays we must
specialize in our seeds, fertilize tiie
ground with the right material, scientifically train our plants, spray relentlessly against diseases, properly
grade our products, put them up in
neatly labelled packages that will attract the consumer -and adopt pood
business methods the whole way
through,      <
If efficiency 1s not essential why
do we have these fruit magazines.
Canadian farmer magazines, government bulletins on potato culture, poultry raising, etc., and a host of other
papers, all -puVHshea with thfe excellent nurpose of educating the farmer in his business?
How often does tt not happen that a
man having made a little money thinks
he will retire to some pleasant spot
and end his gays In the fas he thinks)
ensv and restful life of farming, only
to find himself terribly handicapped
by hia Ignorance of right modes of
cultivation and proper agricultural
business methods. In former days It
may within limits have been true that
if your son were not fit for any other
husinesB the only thing to do was to
plant him on the land and let him
earn a livelihood 'n the only business
that did* not require brains. But in
these highly specialized days intelligence and efficient training are as
essential to success in agriculture -as
in other departments of life. What
do we see today but hosts of farmers
making a bare living wage, their properties mortgaged up to the hilt, There
are no doubt other reasons which
have brought this about, but lack of
efficiency is not the least important.
The agricultural commissioners In
their report point out that the majority of those engaged in farming in
British Columbia haye had no training in their profession. Is there no
way or helping to remedy this situation? We think there is. The government, especially the agricultural department, works very hard to assist
the farmer in every possible way, for
it recognizes the vlbal Importance of
settling the country with successful
workers.
We now propose a scheme for assisting in this work. Recognizing the
necessity of efficiency, we propose the
foundation of an agricultural college
for boys, a Bchoot where, in addition
to the ordinary school curriculum,
boys will receive both theoretical and
practical training in farm work,  SUch
a school would take boyB at a fairly
early age and, commencing with the
ordinary school training, hy a carefully graduated system of instruction,
prepare them for a life of agriculture.
What we suggest is a combined school
and farm, where the acreage would
he sufficiently large to allow room
not only for the usual school buildings
and grounds, but also for as many
branches of agriculture as possible-
truck gardening, dairy farming, poultry raising, fruit growing, etc.
These two branches of the institution would materially assist each other, for while the farm acted as a training ground for the youthful agriculturist, the income of the school would
bo increased by the profitable working of the farm.
Although what we have presented
above—^he union of school and farm-
is the novel feature of the institution,
such a combination would by no
means detract from the merits of the
school considered as an Institution by
itself. There would certainly be a
large number of pupils attending the
school for whom farm life would not
be suitable, or who had no intention
of ultimately becoming farmers.
The institution on its purely scholastic side would be equally fitted to
train boys for the university and for
civil employment, while a military
branch would undertake the training
of a cadet corps -and prepare youths
for military appointments.
Such a Bcheme is already mooted.
It hns received not only Uie favorable
consideration, but the promise of active assistance from Sir Richard McBride, premier of British Columbia,
and Col. Sam Hughes, Dominion minister of militia. Eminent men in England have commented favorably on the
scheme.   But in order to bring it into
AFTER FIVE YEARS
Wlnthrop Child Was Restored to
Health by Vinol.
"Five years ago our little girl had
a severe attack of diphtheria which
left her subject to bronchitis and
Stomach trouble. Sho has been almost constantly under medical treatment. 1 have tried also two or three
remedies containing cod live? oil but
found her stomach rebelled against
the oil. Reading your description of
Vinol I decided to try it and did so
with most astonishing results. I cannot begin to tell you how she has improved because you do not know what
a little sufferer she was for five years.
She baa gained ten pounds -since she
commenced to take Vinol, and the
story of what Vlnol has done for her
Is only half told in this letter.'' Mrs.
Adelaide Mulloy, Wlnthrop, Mass.
Vinol contains nil the healing curative properties of cod liver oil, without ' the oil, and tonic iron added
That I? why it helped*, this little girl
after other remedies had failed.
We ask mothers of weak, sickly
children to try Vinol on our offer to
give back your money if It falls to
help them. Wm. Rutherford, Druggist,

must be raised.
We would therefore appeal to all
men who have the welfare of the province at heart to take a share in promoting what might very possibly become one of the leading Institutions
in British Columbia,

NEWS OF THE MARKETS
TRADING NARROW
RALLY CONTINUES
Canadian Scrip  Firm—Vancouver Issue at Discount—Money Market
Easy—Industrials Dull.
(Western Associated Press Special
Cable.)
LONDON, March 15.—The stock
market continued its rally on Saturday, but trading was narrow, the Btock
being apparently oversold. The tone
was more confident. Ulster is still a
danger point, but the friction between
Russia and the triple alliance is subsiding and the outlook is now reassuring.
Consols were strong and eloBed at
75 5-8, although the market recognizes
that the additional expenditure of $50,-
000,000 in the Impending budget will
involve a heavy increase of taxation,
The new Canadian, scrip was firm
at 1 1-16 premium, but the Vancouver
scrip iB at 1 1-4 discount.
Brazilian securities were buoyant
and rose from one to three points on
statements that the Rothschilds were
expressing a readiness to arrange a
new Brazilian loan. The terms will
probably be severe,, but it is not likely
that the issue will take place until
after the Brazil'an elections. Brazilian
exchange was better.
Brokers report that domestic securities are being steadily more favored
owing to the numerous financial and
political disturbances abroad in recent months.
Canadian Pacific railway was bought
on Saturday and cloBea at 2-12, Grand
Trunk railway was firm hut not brisk.
HudBon Bay was supported and closed
at 0 7-8.
Canadian Car fell one point and other Canadian industrials were dull.
Financial correspondence received
here from Canada stateB that a further buying influx of British capital
will be necessary before Canadian railways can become fully remunerative,
and this information does not help
Canadian investment securities.
The money market was' easy and
cheap discounting Ib expected, owing
to the money surplus In April. The
market has as yet incurred little seasonable indebtedness at the Bank of
England.

LAST WORD FROM
GOVERNMENT
(Continued from Page One.)
Government's Last Word
Mr. Churchill's speech has finally
dissipated the hopes engendered a
week ago that there was a possibility
of there being a settlement of the home
rule question by consent. It ls now
accepted as certain that the prime
minister's statement this afternoon
will not contain any new proposals,
but will bo an explicit declaration that
tho government has said the last
word.
Ramsay Macdonald, the parliament
ury Labor leader, declares in tho Dally
Citizen this morning that the Labor
party will not accept Sir Edward CaS*
son's demand for unlimited exclusion
of Ulster.
Tho Morning Post (Conservative), 1n
its editorial this morning, headed
"Drifting to Civil War," accuses the
government of deliberately provoking a
terrible catastrophe rather than risk
thc loss of office.
It Is anticipated that tho government
will pass tho government of Ireland
bill, plus the resolutions embodying
the concessions to Ulster, over the
Unionist opposition, and that when the
bill reaches the lords negotiations will
bo resumed.
It is stated on thc best authority
that If ithe government maintains Its
present position, the opposition will
continue its- hostile attitude and will
thus compel Mr. Asquit'h to pass thc
bill under the Parliament act If at all.

"Such vessels are not mentioned In
thc Canal aotj nor in the Sims bill,
ror ought they to be," the statement
continues. "They were owned by the
same owners who own the canal, and
pass their vessels by right of ownership, according to treaty. Owning both
warships and canal, It could pay tolls
to nobody but Itself, which would be
concentrated nonsense."
Three minority reports on the canal
repeal matter wore reported today.
Representative Dormus, of Michigan,
and Representative O'Shaughnessy, of
