MAY 6th, 1911\nNo. 18\nWhat is a Salvage Department ? Answer The Sewerage By-Law <'The Geisha's\" Success\nWhat Does it do fur thc poor and the unfortunate\nThis article tells\nTo be submitted again to the Ratepayers\non May 22nd\nLocal Musical Talent proved itself\nWorth its weight in Gold\nThe problem ol dealing with unemployment has never heen a serious\nono in this land of ours. That there\nis work for all and plenty of it, is a\nfact that cannot bo disputed. At tho\nsame time we aro forced to recognize\nthe existence in our larger cities, of\na certain number ol unfortunates,\nwho, through one cause and another,\nare \"down and out.\" A considerable\nproportion ol them are mere loafers,\nwho prefer idleness to honest, toil,\nFor them wo havo no sympathy. We\nhold to the Bible precept that if a\ncrippled with rheumatism, and had\nno lood or lire. When questioned, he\nsaid that ho depended solely on his\nwife tor support, that she lind fallen\ndown and hurt herself and had to go\nto the hospital, aad that lie was now\nalone and helpless, Furthermore, the\nlandlord had threatened to turn him\nout on the street if lie did not pay\nthe rent. This seemed to distress\nhim more than anything else, tor he\nkept saying. \"Mary will have no\nhome to go to when she gets out ol\nthe hospital.\" The old couple did\nhave gone nnd what would you have\ndone had It not been tor The Salvation Army?\"\n\"We'd huve gono to jail, ami alter\nthat\u2014well who knows?\" answered\none,\n\"Tho Salvation Army's all riglit,\nand they have helped as out tine\",\nsaid another.\nThree out of the seven afterwards\ncame hack to buy clothing witli the\nlirst money they earned. It wns one\nway of showing their gratitude,\nperhaps,\nAn old man was found by an officer living in a dark and dirty backroom\nman will not work neither shall he\neat. But some there are who, alter a\nlong tight against sickness and other\nmisfortunes, have at last come to the\nond of their resources and know not\nwhere to turn for help. These are tbe\nreally deserving class, and It waB\nwith the object oi assisting such that\nthe Salvage Work of the Salvation\nArmy waa started in Canada some\nthree years ago. Tho development ot\nthe work haa been a surprise, even to\nthe officers engaged in It. More and\nmore do they now see the opportunities ahead of them,for helping the\npoor and the unfortunate, and they\nare linking hands and co-operating\none with the other in order to do\nstill more effective work. The unique\norganisation of the Salvation Army\nis a great factor in their success.\nWithout it they would fail to accomplish half aa much.\nA glance at tho results for Just one\nmoment only will give our readers\nsome idea of what is being done,\nduring one months work in Toronto\nalone fonr hundred persons were\nsupplied with articles ol clothing entirely free of cost, while seventeen\nhundred obtained clothing at a nominal price. In addition to this tour\nhundred men werc given temporary\nemployment, and one hundred and\nforty-sli ex-prisoners were met at the\nprison gate and supplied with meals\nand clothing.\nThe practice of making a small\ncharge for the goods, which barely\ncovers the cost of collecting and distributing, helps the deserving poor\nto retain their aelf respect, and the\ninstitution to be self supporting. We\ndo not agree with the policy of doing our charity to the poor after the\nsame style as thc monks of old did.\nOur aim is to help the poor to help\nthemselves, and not to pauperize\nthem. This plan, we tind is succeeding admirably, and hundreds ol\nstruggling tamiiles In our big cities\nare today much better dressed, and\nhavo more furniture In their homes\nthan they could have hoped lor had\nthere been no Salvage store where\nthey could purchase goods at a low\nfigure. We will just mention two\ncases as typical ot many.\nOna day a little girl came into the\nstore leading her little brother hy\nthe hand.\n\"Please sir, can you give Johnny a\npair of boots and some stockings for\nfive cents?\" she asked.\nJohnny was promptly 11:tod with\nthe desired articles and went ofl feeling proud of the fact that they had\nbeen bought and not begged (or.\nOn another occasion a ragged and\ndirty urchin was observed examining\na bicycle in the store.\n\"How much do you want for this,\nmister?\" be asked.\n\"I think you want a new suit more\nthan a bicycle,\" said tbe officer.\n\"Now, I'll tell you what to do. Oo\nborne and ask your mother to give\nyou a good wash. Then tell her that\nif she will pay fifty cents I will give\nyou a new outfit, boots and all.\"\nThe lad run ofl and soon reappeared\nminus the dirt and plus the half dollar. Ho got the outfit, and both he\nand his parents were mightily pleased.\nBut occasionally a poor family ts\ndiscovered who are utterly unable to\npay anything at all for either clothes\nol furniture. It ls plain that such\npersons must ho helped gratuitously\nor not at all, and so ths Salvage\nofficer does not hesitate to supply\ntheir wants.\nOn one occasion a very old man\nwae lound by an officer living in a\ndark and dirty back room. He was\nnot own a stick of furniture, and\ntheir prospects thus seemed exceedingly dark and comfortiesa. When\nasked why he did not go to tlio poor\nhouse, the old man began to cry and\nsaid: \"They'd heen together tor over\nsixty yeare now, and we want to he\nwith each other to the end.\"\nUnder these circumstances the officer thought it best to help them get\na nice little home where they could\npaas their declining days in peace.\nHe rented a nice bright room (rom\nthe Salvage department. When tbe\nold lady came out of. the hospital\nahe waB overjoyed to find auch a\ncomfortable home awaiting her. Tho\nold couple were helped for a tew\nweeks, and then the woman was able\nto resume her former occupation and\nearned enough to support the two.\nThey are very grateful to The Salvation Army for thus tiding them\nover a difficulty, and are especially\nthankful that they now have a lew\nblta of furniture to call their own.\nIf the kind persons who give articles of furniture could trace the final\ndestination of those gifts and witness\nthe appreciation of the poor folks\nwho benefit by them, they would\nsurely be convinced tbat the Salvage\nBepartmcnt meets a great need.\nAnother direction in which our\nSalvage Department proves of untold\nvalue ls in providing temporary\nemployment for those who are down\nAnother case was as follows: A\nman came to the city with a few\ndollars in his pocket, thinking he\nwould speedily get employment. He\nwas disappointed, however, when\nhis money was all gone ho pawned\nhis clothes. Still he could not find\na Job. In despair he thought of\nsuicide. Whilst in this frame of\nmind he happened to pass the Salvage Store, he turned to the Salvation Army as his lost hope. He did\nnot want charity, he declarod.\u2014he\nwanted work,\nJust at that moment thc telephone\nrang. A gentleman wanted to know\nif tbe Army could send him a handy\nman to do work about the house and\ngarden (or a few days. \"Here's your\nopportunity,\" said Stafi-Captain\nSims to the would-be suicide. The\nman's (ace lightened up wonderfully,\nnnd he set ol! to the addrcas given\nhim with a new hope in his heart.\nThat temporary job proved his salvation\u2014from a Bocial standpoint at\nany rate. A few days later a permanent, position was found for him,\ni and he Ib now doing well.\nI The saving of drink victims is also\nquito a feature of the Salvation De-\n1 partment. On several occasions eni-\n: ployers of labor have sent men to\nthe Officer in charge, requesting him\nto try and cure them of drunkenness.\nIt is gratifying to learn that not\nonly hnve several of theao men given\nPlease sir, can you give Johnny a pair ol hoots\nand some stockings for five cents.\nCORPORATION OF TNE CITY OF\nCRANBROOK\nBY-LAW NO. 96\nA fly-Law to rain, tint sum uf One\nhundred thousand didlara,X$lOQ,0.J0.0fl)\nIiy debentures fur thfl purpose uf in\nBtailing, nml const nietiiiK a sewage\nHyHti'in In and iu tbe vicinity uf thu\nCity of Cranbrook.\nWHEREAS on the 2Ctb day of\nApril, l'JIO, a petition waa presented to the Municipal Council\nof (lie Corporation of thu City of\nCranhrook *ii-ued hy the owners of\nnt least ouu-tentb (1-10) of the value\not the rnteahle luinls and improce-\nments In snid city at, shown hy the\nthen last Keviaed AaHesHtncnt Holl.re-\nHiie.stiiii, the Council to introduce u\nBy-Lew to raise the hiiiu of One hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) fur\nth'} piirpune of itiKUillimc, and con-\nRtructtng n sewage system In and\niu the viciuity of the City of Craubrook.\nAND WHEREAS the aaid By-Law\nwas suhmUted to tlie ratepayers of\nthe City of Cranhrook on the 28th\ndny of February 1911, and was then\ndefeated,\nAND WHEREAS a petition signed\nby at least one-fifteenth (1\u201415th) in\nnumber of the electors who are nual-\niiled to vote on the By-Law, has been\npresented to the Municipal Council\non the lst. day of May 1911, being\nat an interval of uot less tban sixty\ndaya after the defeat of the said By-\nLaw, requesting that the By-Law be\nagain submitted to the ratepayers\npursuant to section seventy-seven\n(77) of the Municipal Clauses Act.\nAND WHEREAS for the purposes\naforesaid, it will he necessary to\nborrow tho sum of One hundred\ntiousand dollars ($100,000)\nAND WHEREAS thc whole amount\nof thc rateable lands aud improvements of the said City according to\nthe last Revised Assessment Roll ia\none million seven hundred and eleven\nthousand nine hundred and ninety\nj dollars) $1,711,990.00).\nAND WHEREAS the amount of the\nexisting. debenture indebtedness of\nthc City of Cranbrook la one hundred and thirty thousand two hundred and nineteen dollars and fifty-\ndollars, ($1,711,090.00).\nAND WHEREAS the Municipal\nCouncil has power to pass By-Laws\nlor contracting debts, by borrowing\nmoney or otherwise and for levying\nrates for payment of such debts on the\nrateable lands and improvements,\neither or both, or rateable real property of thc Municipality for any purpose within the jurisdiction of the\nCouncil; hut the aggregate of such\ndebts, except for worka of local improvement and for school purposes,\nshall not exceed twenty per cent\n(20 p.c.) of thc assessed value of\nthe landa and improvements or the\nreal proporty of the Municipality\naccording to the last Revised Assessment Roll.\nAND WHEREAS the present debenture indebtedness of the City of\nCranbrook, other than the indebtedness for works of local improvement\nand for school purposes is ninety-\nsix thousand two hundred and seventy-eight dollars and four cents,\n($96,278.04).\nAND WHEREAS it will be requisite to raise annually by rate the sum\nof one thousand three hundred and\ntwenty-six dollars and thirty cents,\n($1,326.30.) to provide for a sinking\nsum of Five thousand dollars, ($5,-\n000.00) to pay interest\nNOW THEREFORE the Municipal\nCouncil of the Corporation of tbe\nCity of Cranhrook in Council assembled, enacts as follows:\n1.

ROBERTS,\nClerk to the Municipal Council.\nThe musical treat that hns heen\nlooked forward to for some weeks,\nproved on Thursday night to be au\nunbounded success. The hitherto\nuntuuehed and undiscovered mine of\nmusical talent, brought tu light hy\nthe untiring aud energetic efforts of\nMi. Qeorge D. Ingram, musical con\ndUOtor, proved to be pure. gold. In its\nexecution of that well known play\n\"The Geisha\", Every performer,\nfrom the etiorus to the lending principles who took part therein ts deserving uf the highest praise. Such\nexcellent work, taking the company\nan a whole is seldom found on the\nstages of our theatres, even by the\nprofessional artists who travel\nthroughout the length and breadth of\nour province. Special mention must\nalso he made to the splendid work oi\nthe orchestra, all of whom were Io\ncal talent.\nThe Auditorium was full almost\nevery seat being occupied before the\norchestra began their opening overture.\nAs the orchestra commenced to\nplay, the curtain slowly rising, revealed a beautiful stage setting, and\nsome forty Oelsha and Japanese\ngirls, beautifully costumed, who rendered the opening chorus \"Happy\nJapan \"in a way that brought forth\nrounds of applause. Then followed\nthe entrance of the officers of H. M.\nS. Turtle. R. T. Brymner as Reginald Fairfax, and D. J. McSweyn as\nDick Cunningham proved to be favorites with the large audience.\nMr. McSweyn, rendered \"Dear Little Jappy Jap Jappy\" combined\nwith a dance, that was greeted with\napplause, and un eiicore.\nMrs. E. Paterson aa tho chief Oelsha girl, Mimosa San showed distinct\ntalent In her rendering of the \"Amorous Goldfish\", and the \"Jewel of\nAsia\" and responded several times\nto repeated encores. The lesson she\nreceived from Reginald Fairfax, \"Mr.\nBrymner\" of the ways and customs\nof English lovers, brought forth\nhearty applase from an appreciative\naudience, and a beautiful bouquet\nfrom her friends.\nThe lamentations of \"Wun Hi\" the\n!\u00bb> the stringent and harsh orders of\nthe Marquis Imari, governor of the\nprovince, and chief of police, was\nsplendid; the aingiug and acting of\nMr. Archie Raworth, as Wun Hi,\nshowed a complete study of the part\nMiss Henley, as \"Miss Molly Sea-\nmore\" one of the guests of Lady\nConstance\" was exceptionally good,\nthe rendering of thia character, combined with her sweet voice captivated\nthe audience. The effectiveness of\nhei acting was undoubtedly due to\nnatural way she bad in all ber\nmovements, and proved, as we often\nheal said,\"to the manner horn\". Later during the performance Mis*\nMolly was presented with a beautiful bouquet. A song and dance,\n\"Chow Klma\" by Miss Molly, at the\nauctioning ofl of tlie Geisha girls,\nat the command of the Marquis, was\none Of the most effective numbers\nrendered during the whole evening,\ncalling forth unstinted applause, aud\na handsome bouquet from some ad-\nmlrlng friend.\nMrs. F. Bouchard, aa Juliette\nproved herself to be an able interpreter who knew just how to take\ncare of herself, yet scheming to become the bride of the Marquis. Her\nsong \"If that'a not Love, what is\"\nwas encored, and she also received a\nlovely briquet.\nThc chorus singing throughout tbe\nwhole evening was of the most perfect kind, together with the dancing\nnnd light effects was worthy of the\nutmost praise.\nMr. George Ingram ia to congratulated upon his untiring zeal and the\nefforts he has made to make this\nmusical production a great success.\nMr. Ingram in undertaking this\nwork realized the hardships that possibly might be met with in organising so large a company and securing\na proper rendering of the production,\nby the hearty co-operation ot all\nthose who took part in his labors,\nnot only will tbe musical aide of hia\nwork be a great help, perhaps, who\nknows, but that it will result In the\norganization of a permanent choral\nsociety in our city, the social side of\nwhich cannot be overlooked..

It may be added\ntiiat tlie battle ol Liasa is a unique\nevent us. being ttie ouly action on re-\ncurl lought between squadrons oi Iri-\ngales.\nHoate, in the Amphion, was the\ncommodore\u2014the oilier in cummaiid\n\u2014\"Nelson's Hosto\"\u2014the great admiral's tuv,trite midshipman and iileloi.g\nfollower. Sir James Alexander Gordon, of the Active, was one of the\nnoblest fellows that ever lived\u2014a typical British man-ol-war's man of tlie\nbest stamp. Passing through every\ngrade of naval rank with distinction,\nhe ended his daya aa tlte last Governor of Greenwich Hospital\u2014the last\nsuccessor in that high post to men\nsuch as Rodney and Hood and \"Nelson's Hardy,\"\nOn Marcli 13, 1811, Hoste and Gordon, in their two ships, with a third\nfrigate\u2014the Cereberus, Captain H.\nWhitby\u2014and a small corvette\u2014the\nValagc. 'apt.iu Phippa Hornby\u2014were\ncruising near the little island of Lissa,\nwhich they used aa an anchorage and\nwatering-place, when there suddenly\nappeared six lurge French and Venetian Irigates, with a flotilla of smaller vessels, proposing to seise and\ngarrison L'ssa for themselves. The\nBritish frigates termed close line-\naheud at once, just as though they\nwere two-deckers\u2014real ships ol the\nline. The Amphion led, with the Active near her. Hailed Hoste to Gordon, as the enemy came on, from the\npoop of the Amphion, \"1 say, Jemmy\npuss the word to keep the Hying jib-\nboom over the tafl'rel; We mustn't\nlet the rascals break the line. Hall\nan hour on this tuck ia worth two on\nthe other!\"\nThe French came on in t*o columns\nof attack, exactly copying Nelson's\nTrafalgar formation. If numbers,\nposition and formation meant victory,\nit was theirs. But the British leader\nwas not a Villeneuve, Hoste, as tho\nFrenchmen came bowling down before the wind, hoisted his buttle signal \u2014 \"Kememuer Nelson!\" \u2014 which\nwas greeted with one tremendous\nburst ol cheers along his line.\nTha next moment, as the headmost\nFrenchman near them, the Amphion\nand Active and the other two opened\na fust tiro, under which the enemy\nreeled. They shrank back from their\nattempt to break tlie line, hauling up\ninstead, U> run alongside the British\nships. Then an attempt was made\nto board the Amphion, but a tornado\nol grape and canister from her car-\nronudes swept the decks of the foremost Frenchman clear of all but dead\nand dying.\nAfter that, the enemy tried to head\noff the Amphion and Active, and then\ndouble round on their line and get\nIt between two fires. The two squadrons went racing on meanwhile, cannonading hard. But Hoste was again\ntoo clever for the enemy. He knew\nthere was a reef under water a little\nwa\/ in iront ol them, and, before\nth.: French could get ahead ol him,\nhe manoeuvred so as to make their\nforemost - ship run herself right on\nto the rocks.\nThe moment the French commodore\nstruck, out flew a signal, and round\nt'.ie British squadron went, turning\nback all together and reversing their\norder. The French ships did the\nsame, and sharp fighting continued\nin line on the opposite tack, until the\nbadly beaten-ofl enemy broke up in\nhopeless disorder, which gave individual captains their chance.\nWithin hall an hour a French 40-\ngun frigate, the Flore, had hauled her\ncolors down to the Active (38 guns):\nbut Captain Gordon \"disdaining the\nparade of taking possession ol a beaten enemy,\" went on after another 40-\ngun Irigate\u2014also bigger than the Active\u2014the Corona. He caught her up,\naud mude her surrender, within gunshot of the shore, just as the general\nbattle was closing.\nThen he rejoined his consorts, to\nlind that the surrendered Flore had\nstolen away under cover of the battle-\nsuioke, re-hoisted her flag, and got\nbeyond reach. It waa a bitter disappointment to the gallant Gordon and\ntin: cause ol much annoyance afterwards; for some of the London editors blamed him for not having secured her. lt was not so, however,\nwith those who knew the mau. As\nHoste himself put it: \"People don't\nknow Gordon if they think he'd waste\n1 minute over a prise while an enemy's flag was flying in sight!\"\u2014E.

When such is the case the\ndilliculty is met by the nurse setting\na chair and stepping upon that before she leaves the room.\nThere are numerous other superstitions. Prosperity and long life are\nassured to the buby in whose hanJ\na silver coin or a new-laid egg is\nplaced, and tho same good luck will\nbe the lot of tho infant if it is placed\nin a maiden's arms before anyone\nelse touches it.\nThe baby should on no account\nmake its first pubtio appearance out\nol doors unless it is accompanied by\na small loaf of bread, an egg, some\nsalt and a penny. If this precaution\nIs omitted the grown-up career of the\nhitby will be one of poverty and distress. The baby that cries lustily\nduring the christening ceremony is\nsupposed to have good luck.\nThe Spaniards also believe in determining the baby's walk In life at\nonce. To do this they place a silver\ncoin, a silver cross, a sword, a hook\nand some fruit in front of him and\nlet him make his choice. If he takes\nthe coin he will go into business: if\ntiie sword, he will be a soldier; th'1\ncross, a priest: the book, a scholar,\nand the fruit, s farmer. They also\nbelieve that a band of gold or silver\nor even jet, put around buby, will\nkeen him from harm.\nThe Truks put a piece of mud,\nwhich has been steeped In hot water,\nupon baby's forehead, believing that\nthe charms which have been used In\npreparing the mind will protect the\nchild. The Hindus declore that baby\nmust be called after the name of a\ngod, for' tben will the deity be flattered at the frequent UBe of his name\nand he induced to think well of the\nchild. The Arabians name the child\nns soon as it is born, as then the\ntribesmen will honor it. The Persians string amulets ond necklets\naround baby's neck, os th'-'ti the bad\nspirits will not touch him.\nThe Belgians teach their babies to\nmake the sign of the cross, for they\nbelieve that this will certainly outwit the devil.\nWHEN IT COMES TO\nPAPER BAGS and\nMATCHES\nWe are everywhere with the standard feeds.\nPaper and Matehee are tur specialties.

Karl Grey\nhas canceled alt present engagements,\nand left for Ottawa during tho evening. The determination of the Opposition to light reciprocity with the\nUnited States all summer if necessary as outlined by leader Borden,\nthus preventing Sir Wilfrid Laurier\nfrom attending the Imperial Confer\nence aud Coronation has caused a\ncrisis in political circles,\n\u2022 \u2022 \u2022 *\nThere are so many indications that\npoint to a general election in. the\nnear future. The Toronto Star,\nLiberal organ, in close touch with\ngovet-nment leaders, a few days ago\npublished a dispatch from Ottawa to\ntbe effect; \"That the latest report\nfrom semi -official sources, and which\nis received wtth a good deal\not credence, is that we may expect an election some what sooner\nthen was anticipated. It is now\nsaid that the government plans contemplate an adjournment about tbe\nmiddle of May. During the summer\nthe work of taking the census wilt,\nit is .said, be gone on with, special\nattention being paid to the wost, and\nan early session ts to be called in\nSeptember, a redistribution act passed, and dissolution, and an appeal\nto the country to follow In November. This programme Ib one which\nwould meat with general approval.\nIt ts reported that Sir Wilfrid is\nanxious to appeal to the country on\nthe reciprocity issue but that there\nwill be no such appeal until the proper representation iB given to the\nwest.\"\n* \u2022 \u2022 *\nThe Reciprocity debate continues,\nalthough tt ls announced that Liberal members are to he choked off. The\nfuture discussion may be left to the\nmembers ot thc Opposition, who are\nbuilding up a great case against the\npact. It ts Idle to pretend that the\nopposition to reciprocity is sectional\nwhen such men like Qlen Campbell\nand Mr. Bradbury of Manitoba, and\nMessrs, Burrell, Goodeve, and Taylor\nof British Columbia arc so cut-\nspoken against it. The strongest\nargument against reciprocity is to\nho found In thc special message of\nPresident Taft to the United States\ntransmitting the report of the Tariff\nBoard. Thii. Board has heen ei gaged foi thc past year in collecting\nstatistical information as to lhe\ncomparative prices of farm products\nin the United States and Canada.\nThis report abundantly proves that\nprices arc almost iniformly higher in\nCanada than they are In the United\nStates, In a word, thc Canadian\nmarket is to be thrown open to the\nAmerican farmers, The Amerirtn\nmarket will be open theoretically to\nthe Canadian farmer, but goods do\nnot go to the cheaper market.\na aa a\nHon. Geo. B. Foster and other\nConservative members took occasion\nrecently to call the attention of the\ncountry to tho forthcoming Imperial\nConference. The Laurier Government seems determined to do nothing\ntowards binding the British Empire\ntogether. Every othor Helf-govern-\nlilg state has suggested subjects for\ndiscussion at the coming conference\nhut Canada has said in substance\nthat she has no interest in tho Con-\nferencr and lias nothing to suggcHt,\nSh Wilfrid Lnurler mado a lame reply to Mi.

He is already threatening\nnot to go to Loudon unions the Conservatives withdraw their opposition\nto Reciprocity. Major Herron, the\nsturdy and stalwart member for\nMacleod, very aptly said the other\ndny that it made no great difference\nii Sir Wilfrid Laurier did not attend\nthe Imperial Conference, His absence would not dampen the Imperial\nenthusiasm any more than would his\npresence; at all previous Conferences\nhe was an obstructionist; instead of\nputting hts shoulder to the wheel he\nput a stick between the spokes.\n\u2022 * \u2022 \u00ab\nLet anyone read the Toronto\nGlobe's special cotrespoudencc from\nWashington, dealing with chances\nthat reciprocity has in the senate of\nthe United States, and whether it is\na wise thing for Canada tn place the\nmaking of her tarlll\u2014and that is\nwhat is really the issue\u2014-in the hands\nof the Congress of the United\nStates. According to the Globe the\nsenate is not only divided into parties, but each pnrty is full of internal warfare, and what with the various kinds of strategy as between\nwarring elements within each party,\nand as between the two hig parties,\nthe prospect is anything but bright\nfor the passage of reciprocity.\nfurthermore it is certain that if wc\neven put ourselves in the same hole\nagain the same will happen yoar after year, and time after time, and\ntariff uncertainty will be the rule in\nCanada.\nWe cannot afford any such condition of affairs; if we wish to be let\ntn American goods on lower duties\nlet them in once and for all or part,\nand change it when wc want to; and\nif the Americans wish to do the\nsame with regard to our goods, let\nthem do it. But this idea of reciprocity or joint arrangement is a\ndelusion and a snare, and the greatest enemy to Canada's fiscal independence that was ever perpetrated.\nSir Wilfrid Laurier has made the\nmistake of his life, and so has the\nLiberal party, and the sooner they\nnet awny from it the better it will\nhe for them and the country. We\nbelieve now more than ever that\nthere will be no reciprocity treaty.\nGERMANY WANTS RECIPROCITY\nLondon, Mny 3.\u2014The Mail's Rerlin\ncorrespondent says that while it Is\nimpossible in German official quarters\nto obtain cither confirmation or dental of the Ottawa report that Germany hns begun preliminary negotiations for rcciproelty with Canada,!\nhe is enabled to state that the Ger-\nman has stretched out feelers in the\ndirection of n German-Canadian j\nagreement. The German government\nmakes no secret of its anxiety at thei\ndisadvantage thnt wll! accrue to the!\nGerman trade with the Dominion If'\nthe American reciprociey treaty\nenacted.\nFIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARH THE\nPRICE OF ORDER IN COUNCIL\nToronto, May -1.\u2014Tt is stated here\nthat the charge made Iiy \"Admiral\"\nMcOlllicudy, late of Calgary, against\na member of tho Laurier govornment\nin connection with a land grant\ntransaction is that a $50,(100 amount\non the credit side of a certain bunk\naccount is trarcahle to nn order In\ncouncil at Ottawa , that permitted n\nrailway company to exchange 660,000\narret- of Mnnitolm swamp land for\n660,000 acres of .Saskatchewan prat-\nrio land, The company was entitled\nto the Mnnltoha swamp land under\nthe Manitoba & Southeastern char-1\nter granted iu 18J#t. in L907 they\ndropped the Manitoba land and were\ngiven the area in Saskatchewan. The\norder in council relating to this transaction was part of the evidence submitted to Sir Wilfrid Laurier.\nTho explanation is given here that\nthe land grant was changed to Saskatchewan tor the simple reason that\nthere were no suitable lands for selection in Manitoba.\nOttawa, May 2.\u2014Mr, Oliver declared that there was no foundation for\nsuch insinuations, and no special\ncharges made, nevertheless he would\nask that u special committee of the\nhouse be named to enquire into and\ncharge which might be made in con\nmiction with this matter.\nSir Wilfrid Laurier then moved for\nthe appointment of a select commit\ntoo ot live members of ttie house to,\nenquire Into ttie matter to which the\nminister ot the interior referred.\nR.

To\nthis the prime minister' agreed and\nthe matter was dropped.\nNAVIGATION OPENS ON THE\nCOLUMBIA RIVER.\nWllmer, May 3.\u2014Navigation on the\nColumbia river was opened this week\nby passenger steamers from Golden\nto Windermere.
