I have had some experience in studying legislation; I have studied that Bill and I say to you that, though it has some defects, it was a workable and beneficial bill and had it become the law of Canada I would be prepared to recommend to the provincial a m atthe P-arfiament the enactment of legis- -' - lation to make it- effective in British Columbia." ' * The. speaker next dealt with the measure for the revaluation of soldiers' lands, showing how the Liberals in -the House after the resignation of the MacK.

"^ Noted Writer and Parliamentarian Talks of Friendship.1! With Sir Wilfrid Laurier The Right Honorable Sir Gilbert Parker, who at present is making ono of his frequent visits to his native land, made' his only public appearance on this trip at Muskoka Assembly, the Canadian Chautauqua, recently. A largo audience gathered from various points on the lakes and listened to a delightful series of personal reminiscences whicli he gathered under the title, "Forty-one Years After." Ills address dealt largely with public men with whom he had beeu brought into contact. Speaking or Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the French-Canadian, he said: "It is a good thing to have long enough to prove that apart from literature, ono loves one's country Ms a patriot, and^has no fear. I remember a speech I delivered in Toronto well over twenty years ago at my own university. I had just come back from Quebec and I said then, what I repeat' now, that, whilo tho French- Canadian did not share sympathetically in our imperial commitments and responsibilities, he was loyal to the soil "as*any U. E. Loyalist in this TJ. E. Loyalist district. It must not be forgotten that ' twice since 1759 the French-Canadian has saved Canada for the British flag. It must not be forgotten that'the second most popular prime minister Canada ever had, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, was a French- Canadian. Had I lived in Canada I should have been opposed to Sir Wilfrid Laurier politically, but we were close and intimate friends, stayed with him in his house six times, I crossed the continent with him once. And what.was the basis of our friendshipV He believed that I put the French- Canadian in his. true light before the world. I attacked him in 1911 in the British House of Commons, over the reciprocity proposal witli the United States. I said I believed he would be driven from power, and that he would never receive the prime minisr ��� tershlp again. I said to, myself: "That ends ��� me with' Laurier." It didn't. When he -heard I was coming to Canada again, he cabled me and asked me to stay with him, which., t did." asSlwsi^^ hifeptimrJfeip.

Canadian Pacific Express Company ( Dominion Express Company Now No Longer Known By That Name After forty-four years of operation during which it has grown up with the country and contributed in no email way to Canadian development, the Dominion Express Company will no longer be known by that name. After September first that great transportation agency, will be known as the Canadian Pacific Express Company. In all parts of Canada and thc United States and throughout the civilized world signs on the windows of the many hundreds of branch offices will be changed, and thus will bo forged a still closer link with tho great parent company whose railroad, steamships and hotels arc known around tho around. To mark the change of name tho company has issued an attractive little booklet giving a short history of its career and a synopsis of its,present widespread activities. The Dominion Express Company was Incorporated in 1873, but it fwas in 18S2 lhat Mr. Van Home, then president of the C.P.R., took it over as an operating part of the Canadian Pacific Railway. II. O. A. Kirkpatrick, later Sir George Kirkpatrick, Lt.-Gov. of Ontario, was its president, and Mr. W. S. Stout, a young but thoroughly experienced express man became its superintendent. Mr. Stout is today president and has i'or many years guided iis fortunes in that' capacity. For some years he and his assistants had a hard and uphill fight:-They not. only moved traffic, but helped create it by finding Canadian and. foreign markets for Canadian products, and by scientific rate making encouraging the farmer, fruit grower and others-whose markets were far away. The growth of tho company over these many years is an interesting slory and It is an Important chapter in the commercial history of this country and its present posilion whero it is daily entrusted with hundreds of millions of dollars in goods and treasure by the public, business institutions and the government Is a matter for justifiable pride. The booklet Js handsomely illustrated and is being widely distributed wherever the company operates.
