The ideals nf Sir Wilfrid's policy would hi worked up to gradually ami in a manner thai would least disturb Hie established order of things. Ai Uie Queen's Jubilee Canada slnml lirsl among the niauy daughters of llie Mother land, and lhe reason was Unit by the preferential tariff whicli she had extended to Ureal Britain llie British people recognized llie lirsl strung move Inwards free trade and llm federation of the Etnpiro iiuiiii applause). In llie election nf 1800, lhe school question was llie greal theme of political discus_lon, li was a controversy thul threatened the very life nf the Dominion, yet Sir Wilfrid had settled it, as he had promised In do, in a manner satisfactory tn Catholics and Protestants alike, except lhe extremists, and thus tlie Liberal party could claim credit for having averted a great danger to the country (applause). The opponents of the Liberal party bad prophesied lhat Great Brit- ian would never revoke her commercial treaties with Belgium and Germany iu order to allow Sir Wilfrid's policy of preferential duties within the Empire to go into effect. But these treaties had been denounced, and Canada was given a free hand (applauso). All other countries were to be allowed to take advantage of the low duties which Great Britain now enjoyed with us, but they must first give us corresponding advantages in their markets. Was not this a direct step in favor of free trade the world over? It was, the speaker be- not given to making promises, because il was ofteu difficult tn carry them out, but he saw the necessity of keeping up the navigation fur as long a period as possible each year, and he would represent tlie matter in lhe Minister of public works so as In Imve Hie Governmont.Engineor go nver llie river Iliis year and make uu estimate of the work necessary, lie hoped llial it would not prove Ion costly, and llial they would gel Hie Improvements Ihey were looking for. In concluding Mr. Bostock said that in Canada the Canadians had a splendid holitage, and he advised those Americans who had como in here to live to become citizens of the country so that they would be able to exercise the electoral franchise and take a part in the direction of the affairs of the nation (loud applause). He then stated that he was ready to reply to any questions on political topics that might be asked, but none being made, the meeting closed with a vote of tlianks to Mr. Bostock, movud by Dr. Watt, and seconded by J. A. Harvey. CROW'S NEST MATTERS. Chief Engineer Lumsden informed the Phospectob that in about six weeks' time contracts would be le.t for a great deal of wimk on the C. N. Railway al Moyie Lake and other places. The work will be vigorously prosecuted all winter, and everything will he forwarded as far as lieved, the longest step forward j possible s0 ,|s ,„ occasion no d, lhat had been taken since thc days of Cobdeti and Bright (applause). Tlie Craw's Nest Railway was perhaps the most Important matter, at least as regards this constituency, which tlie new Liberal Government had to deal with. The Conservatives said during the election campaign that if Hie Liberals were returned to power there would be no chance of having that railway built. Bul lhis, like all others of the predictions of evil that was to follow if the Liberals got into power, had been abundantly shown to be untrue. The railway will bo built to Fort Steele within a few monihs (loud cheers), and built under such favorable conditions that the Gvernnient are empowered to control the passenger and freight rates in the interests of the people (renewed cheering). Tlie Liberal party was a parly of action, not of words or of promises made to be broken. In the past it hud been charged that the C. P. Railway Company had controlled the Dominion Government. That charge could no longer be made, for the Government were now iii absolute contra if their whole functions. In the case of tbe coal lands of the Crow's Nest lhe Government had taken such action as would prevent any possible monopoly, because Ihey kept control of the price that should be charged for coal (applause). These achievements were, lie believed, but lhe entering of the thin edge of the wedge by llie Government to obtain control of railways everywhere and their operation in Hie interests of the people, In the past the practice had been to give Hie country's resources away lo individuals. That prac-1 lice was lo be changed; the Gov- j ernmonl hereafter would keep thorn and administer them in Ihej general interests (loud applause). lay in getting forward Willi tlie traeklaying in lhe spring. They had had an unexpected difficulty iu getting in their supplies, but the tote road through from the Pass would be completed next week', and they would bring in their supplies from the end of the truck over that road. The Golden route was too expensive. M. J. Haney says they can have the railway completed through to Kootenay Lake by July next. Engineer Cranston has gone to Elk River to revise the work that has already been done tliere. TELECRAPH RATES.

Methods by Whioh the Miner Is Shorn of His Dues. It has been iy:ause of perplexity to.mmr/'who read the metal ij(|_''i -Sports to know what is the distinction between "brokers" price for silver and "ex- chango" priee in the daily quotations. J. A. Finch, the West Kootenay mining man, recently said to a Spokesman-Review reporter: "Tho exchange iiuota- tion is the real price. The brokers have got together and tixeil up a method of naming a 'brokers' price,' which is really no price at all. If you ask a broker about it he will lell you it is the price for a largo quantity. If you offer to buy at that price he will tell you it is not the carload figure, but the price for large lots, and if lie is pinned down closely he will refuse to sell at lho price quoted. The exchange price tells the true state of the market," ,). li. MoArlhor, in the Kalso Kootenaian, commenting on the above, says: "The discrepancy between the broker's price and the exchange price now is nearly $10 per ton. The smelters pay the mine owner for his lead on the basis of the broker's price, which, according to Mr. Finch is a "fake" price. In view of the increasing price for lead and its lessened production it seems to me the time has arrived when the mine owners of West Kootenay ought to get together and insist that in all contracts made for their ores the 'exchange' price for lead should govern and not the 'brokers' price. And while they are on the subject of revision the deductions of 10 per cent on lead and 5 per cent on silver for smelting should be adjusted t. the new conditions. Many years ago, when these deductions were fixed upon, these percentages represented actually the loss sustained. Since then, however, owing to Improved machinery and methods used in .smelting, the loss on lead is oven less than 5 per cent and for silver less than _•! per cent, but the mine owner gets no benefit from these Improvements in smelting. Why should he pay for a loss which is not iu truth and iu fact a loss at all? England is now a buyer on our market for our silver-lead ores and is offering us oxcood- ly good terms, Why would not this be a very favorable time to consider' -and settle these matter's? ' The mine owner alone should not bear the loss in all these things as well as the decreased price in silver." Two Pilot Bay men were recently prospecting on Crawford j Creek, about four miles from Crawford Bay, they came in contact with a large cinnamon bear. One of the men mado for a tree, the bear followed and caught him by the log and inflicted a suvoro wound. The other used his pick oil the hoar's neck, hut without any serious harm to old bruin, who turned ou him, and a badly lacerated arm was the result, The man and bear rolled over two or three times in thn struggle win .■ the hitler took friglii and mane for the woods.

Baillio, secretary of tbe Hoard, who had given tbe subject bis particular attention, lo explain llio situation, Mr. Baillio produced ii fillip of tlie district showing tbe present surveyed line of the railway, ll passed Port Steele al a distance live o" six miles, which Ibe company intended lo cover with a branch line. An examination of llie grounds showed, in riling lo men who undorstood surveying, llial llie line could be brouglii directly inlo Purl Sleele. or al leasl lo within a mile of it, by diverting il over a country llial would afford an equally easy gradient lo the one llial bad been obtained by llie present preliminary survey and llial would avoid a greal deal of difficulty and expensive roek work. This divergence of Hie line, it was estimated, would not lengthen il more than four miles und altogether would In- to tlie advantage of both railway and public. He believed llie railway eonipuuy would bo favorable lo making the deviation of tbe line in order to avoid building tlie branch as well as tbe more efficiently lo furnish all possible facilities for handling tbe large output of ore which would be shipped from this point. What was needed was llial the Government and railway authorities should be made lully alive lo all the advantages that would bo obtained by bringing Ibe line directly to this city. The survey tliat bad been made was nol the location survey, but only tbe preliminary one whicli might be changed at any time, and lhe board desired Mr. Bostock lo look into the matter und if he agreed with the Port Steele people regarding it, lo urge upon llie proper authorities thai llie change be made. Ur. Walt said the proposed diversion would interfere with no existing vested interests, and as the railway was being built largely by lhe people's money fur the purpose of developing Ibe mineral resources of Hast and West Kootenay, ibis small iiierease in III.) length of (bis line was a proper and reasonable tiling lo ask for and insist upon Mr. Clttlbralth, Mr. MeVittlo, and ol lull's spoke ou lliu subject, all agreeing Ihal the construction of the line directly inlo Port Steele is whal was desirable in tlie intoro_ts of the country. .Mr. linstock suid lie fell himself much iuleresled ill Ibe mat- tor, lie would pursue bis personal investigations inlo tbe subject as fur as he could during his present slay in the district, and would give lhe mosl favorable attention to it. UtVEH IMPIIOVEMENTS, Various members of llie delegation sel forth the necessity of improving the conditions for navigation on Kootenay River so as to lengthen the period each year during which thai stream was available as a means of transportation. The building of the railway next year would increase the demand for these improvements. The general business of this district was sure to receive an immense impetus next year, anil tliere were many points along tlie river whicli innsl de- pulld on Ibe wilier as Iheir ST.

Tbe American (Jovernmoiil bad given ijCi,ii|iU lo improve ibe river soutli of llie boundary, and it was believed llial the expenditure ol something less (ban lliul amounl in ibis dislrict would pretty nearly double the available sea sun of navigation. Tlie Board asked that llie Government sliuulll Ibis fall send their resident engineer in British Columbia to make a survey of the river and form an estimate of Hie improvements necessary and tlie cost of the same. Mr, Bostock said be saw tlie importance of Ibis mailer, and would urge llial lho Board's request slioulil he complied Willi. D1STUI-- coritTs. Messrs. Ross and Harvey, lawyers, said tlie presenl arrangement for holding courts in the distrlel were wholly inadequate lo Uie growing requirements of lhe public. Twice Hie county court judge of Koolonay advertized tlie holding of courts at Port Stoolo, lull Iwiee lie had failed to put in au appearance. No doulil be was kepi busy in Wesl Kootenay, so that a resident county court judge should be appointed in ibis district. As matters were now, citizens had to submit to injustice mid hardship f various kinds, in bulb civil and criminal cases. Mr. Bostock said he had already been made awaie of lhe matter to which reference had just been made and would take the necessary steps to have the deficiency as far as possible supplied, lie Hianked the gentlemen presenl for information they bad supplied him with. The delegation then withdrew. ON WILD HORSE. The Member for East Kootenay Visits the Invicta. One of Mr, Bostock's most pleasant llttlo excursions was the visit lie paid to llie Invicta Hydraulic Company's workings on Wild Horse Creek. Puluier .. Kerfool's slage, with four horses attached, was obtained to convey the parly, which was composed of .1. Durick, P. P. Norbury, li. IS. llarslone, Dr. Watt, T. M.'Naugbl. A. C. Nelson, and Win. Baillie, besides Mr. Doyle, llie efficient and court.'.his driver. The trip up to the mine was very greatly enjoyed, the splendid scenery, rendered more brilliant than ever by the bright lints of the autumn leaves, being llle subjeol of constant remark. The mine was reached shortly alter noon and Mr. Young, the manager, was sought out, After greeting bis visitors cordially, Mr. Young bade llinn rest at bis comfort able quarters while lie prepared some lunch for 1 in oil. After the lunch, lhe workings were visited. A live-inch monitor was throwing its deluge of waler inlo the sleep gravel banks, whicli were lining pulled down amid a roar ami rattle of tumbling boulders us the work of gold gathering wenl on. A do- SJl'iptlon of tills line property is hardly necessary as our citizens are already su familiar with if. On Ihe oilier side ol Hie creek, and further up the stream Mian the Nip and Tuck Company's properly, some Cliimuui n have established a considerable hydraulic plan! and are iindersloiid lo be doing very well.
