This\nchange was made Imperative by the\nenormous influx of settlers this year.\nThe first lot to come were already commencing to arrive. They were almost\nentirely Americans, well used to the\nconditions they would meet, and quite\ncapable of taking care of themselves.\nWhen he left Winnipeg arrangements\nhad been completed to handle a large\nbatch of flrstcomers, and it would take\nabout 3,000 cars to bring them and their\neffects west.\nOrders had already been Issued to give\nlumber shipments into the territories\nfrom British Columbia and from the\neast preference as far as possible, and\na large amount was now being rushed\nin. This was necessary in order to provide dwellings for the new settlers and\nshelter for their stock.\n\"I do not think,\" said Mr. McPherson, \"that your lumbermen can commence to supply the demand for lumber.\nI know that many mills have started\nup in this section, but I doubt If the\nmen In the business realize what a demand there will be this summer. Under\nthe circumstances prices are sure to be\nhigh and as quickly as the lumber Is\nshipped in it will be snapped up. There\nis, of course, no timber In the territories\nand practically no large amount of\nlumber on hand, so that no matter how\nlarge your cut may be this year there\nwill be no difficulty over disposing of\nIt, to say nothing of your home consumption, which, I understand, will be\nvery good this year.\"\nSpeaking of the Kootenays, Mr. McPherson said that the outlook was\nbrighter than most people seemed to\nthink. \"You have got Into a little rut\nhere, and havo given over looking on the\nbright side of affairs. The condition of\nthe metal market at the present time\nmust give you a great deal of encouragement, and speaking generally, I believe\nyou have seen the worst of the quiet'\ntimes, and that a very fairly prosperous\nsummer will be experienced all through\nthe Kootenays. We are looking for a\ndecided Improvement and I expect It will\ncome along in good time.\n\"Your tourist associations have not\nInterviewed me aB yet, but I am anxious\nto meet them. Anything that we can\ndo to improve the tourist travel through\nNelson and the Kootenays generally we\nwill gladly undertake. We expect this\nyear to handle an unusually large number of English tourists for the west,\nlarger than anything we have so far\nattempted, and so far as Nelson Is concerned, I think you should make a\nstrong effort on your own behalf to look\nafter these people and to see that as\nmany as possible come your way. You\nhave plenty of attractions for all classes\nof travel, and Nelson, from Its central\nsituation, Bhould havo an Immense number of visitors this season.\"\n\"What are the chief centreB In the\nwest that will benefit by thc InruBh this\nyear? Well, that's a little difficult to\nBoy. Winnipeg, ot courBe, Is jumping\nahead nt a tremendous rate. I don't\nknow of a hotter city In America today\nfor n man to go to if ho has a little\nmoney, or even If he Ib dead broke. There\nwill be some fluctuation there but the\nchances for everyone doing well are very\ngreat, and many opportunities are\nafforded. Edmonton Is attracting great\nattention, nnd I think Calgary will make\na large nnd money making town. All\nthe \"paper\" railroads touch Edmonton\nbo that promoters think well of that\nsection.\"\nMr. McPherson loaves this evening for\ntlie Boundary country, and will go on\nfrom there to the const.\nIMPORTANT LEGISLATION.\nLondon, Feb. 26,-Tho bill introduced In\ntliu linns*' nf commons by Mr. 8cott Montague to authorise th*; next automobile\nrace for Ihe Jitmee Gordon Bonnet cup\nto be run tn Ireland jmsscd Its second\nreiKlliiR today.

All the ministers, with the exception of the chief commissioner, W.\nC. Wells, took part In the campaign.\nPremier Prior issued a special appeal to\nthe electors to endorse his policy.\nAnything and everything asked for or\ndreamed of was promised the electors if\nthey would give Dr. Sansome a majority.\nIn spite of the eloquence of the ministers and the lavlshness of their promises,\nMr. Semlln, the opposition candidate,\nwas elected by an overwhelming majority.\nThe Prior government must go.\nThere may be some delay. Premier\nPrior may decide to meet the houBe. In\nthat event he will enjoy another month\nof ofllce. His wisest plan Is to at once\nask for a dissolution of the legislature,\ncall together his party friends, re-organize the cabinet on straight tory lines,\nand bring on the general elections as\nspeedily ns possible.\nThere is no use in the premier trying\nto persuade himself that he will have a\nmajority ln the legislature now. Allowing him all doubtful votes, tbe biggest\nfollowing he can muster is 18 in a house\nof 38.\nThe members who may be placed on\nthe government side are: Prior, Helmcken, Hall, Eberts, Pooley, Hayward,\nDickie, Mounce, Mclnnes, Neill, Dunsmuir, Clifford, Wells, Prentice, A. W.\nSmith, Rogers, Hunter, nnd Price Ellison\u201418.\nTho avowed oppositionists are: Mc-\nPhillips, Paterson, Hawthornthwaite,\nStables, Gilmour, Martin, Garden, Tat-\nlow, Gilford, Kidd, Munroe, Oliver, McBride, Semlln, Fulton, Taylor, Green,\nHouston, Smith Curtis and E. C. Smith\n\u201420.\nOn the government side we have\nplaced Nelll and Price Ellison, both of\nwhom are more than likely now to vote\nagainst the government.\nPor a time Houston was placed in\nthe doubtful category, but his recent\npronouncement as president of the Provincial Conservative Association showed\nclearly that the government could not\ncount upon his support under any circumstances.\nPremier Prior can save the country a\nvery considerable outlay by not calling\nthe legislature together on April 2nd.\nHe is beaten and he knows it, and tho\nbest thing for him to do Is to ask the\nlieutenant-governor to grant an Immediate dissolution of the house. There\nIs nothing to justify the expense of a\nmeeting of the legislature at this Juncture. No business could bo transacted,\nand the country would simply have to\npay the members' sessional allowances\nand traveling expenses for nothing at\nall, save the formal rendering of a verdict already unmistakeably pronounced\nby the electors.\nA general election within the next\nthree or four months Is unavoidable\nnow. The well-understood wish of the\ngreat mass of the electors Is that the\nfight should be waged on party lines. It\nis therefore incumbent upon the party\nleaders to be up and doing. Liberals\nand conservatives alike have a duty to\nperform.    British    Columbia   needs a\n'Let the GOLD DUST twine do your work\"\nstrong government, either liberal or conservative,, and the adherents of either\nparty should immediately set about preparing for a campaign that will result in\nthe return of a strong government duly\nchecked by a united opposition.\nTo the liberals we would say: Sink\nalt past differences. Unite on a common\nplatform for the welfare of the province.\nThe same advice may be proffered to\nthe conservatives in good faith.\nRAILWAY SUBSIDIES.\nThe Nelson board of trade in considering the trans-Canada project may well\nhave in mind the action of the St. John\nboard of trade in the same, connection.\nThat board unanimously passed a resolution that the next transcontinental\nrailway to be built in Canada should be\nan extension by the government of the\nIntercolonial railway from Montreal to\nthe Pacific coast, and expressing the\nopinion that the inability of the present\nrailway system to.move the enormous\nand rapidly increasing crops of the\nwest, and the rapid influx of new settlers\ninto that country, will amply justify the\ngovernment, at no very distant period,\nin building the proposed railway as a\npublic work.\nIt further expressed the opinion that\nno grants either of money or lands\nshould be made by the dominion government to nny new transcontinental\nline.\nIt will be noted by a Toronto dispatch,\npublished today, that R. W. Brock, one\nof the most influential of the Toronto\ncity members of parliament, is very pronounced on the subject of railway subsidies. This feeling is prevalent all over\nCanada now, and It would be a grave\nmistake for Nelson to hurriedly go on\nrecord as being in favor of financial\nassistance being granted the trans-\nCanada project, or any other proposed\ntranscontinental railway, by either the\ndominion or the provincial government.\nEDITORIAL NOTES.\nBoth parties to the strike at the\nCrow's Nest Pass Coal company's mines\nhad better take warning. The editor of\nthe Camborne Miner announces that if\nthings don't change soon he will go 'way\nback east and work on the farm again.\nA recent dispatch from London states\nthat premier Balfour had a bad quarter\nof an hour over MacNeill's amendment\nto the address declaring the position of\na public company director incompatible\nwith that of a minister of the crown. In\nthe course of the debate it was shown\nthat no less than 33 out of the 56 heads\nof departments, who constitute the administration, hol.d among them some 68\ndirectorships. Sir William Harcourt\nwarmly endorsed the amendment, stating his conviction that the only effect\nof ministers associating themselves with\npublic companies was to give them a\nmeasure of credit to which they were\nnot otherwise entitled. The division that\nwas the result of the amendment was a\nclose one, the government only securing\na majority of 36. It is not so very long\nsince a similar question came up for discussion in thc provincial legislature, and\nthe trend of public opinion as then expressed in the press, In the house and on\nthe platform, was much the same as that\nvoiced the other day in the imperial\nparliament by sir William Harcourt.\nWhether at home or abroad, British\nministers of the crown, colonial or Imperial, should not lay themselves open\nto even a suspicion of employing the\nprestige attached to their position for\nthe advancement of any scheme to which\nthe public are invited to subscribe by\ntaking shares. The debate In the house\nof commons will bear good fruit inasmuch aB it will show that the people are\nalive to what Is proper in the conduct\nof those to whom the management of\nthe country's affairs are entrusted.\nACTIVITY IN GKEENWOOD.\nBoard of Trade   Reorganized    to  Admll\nMembers of Progressive Association.\n[Special to The Dally News.]\nGreenwood, Feb. 26.\u2014At a special meeting: of the members of the Greenwood\nboard of trade held yesterday afternoon\ntwelve members of the Greenwood Progressive association, which Is to be amalgamated with the board of trade, were\nadmitted as members of the former organization. It is expected that fully twice\nas many more will be elected at later meetings of tho board. In view of tho Increased Interest being taken In matters likely\nto advance the Interests of Greenwood It\nwns decided to hold an ordinary meeting of members every Wednesday afternoon, and a sub committee was appointed\nto arrange for a suitable room ln which\nto meet and to provide for the convenience of the members at such meetings.\nThe secretary was Instructed to make\napplication In the proper quarter to have\nthe name of the Kettle River Mining division changed to that of the Greenwood\nMining dfvlslon so as to better Indicate\nIts locullty nnd to be ln keeping with the\nGreenwood electoral riding. A resolution\nto appoint delegates to next month's meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade\nwas carried and It wbb agreed that the\npresent officers of the board retain office\nuntil the time for the customary annual\ngeneral mooting of tho board.\nH, P.

He BayB\nthat present indications point to an\nearly settlement of the coal strike.\nEverything was quiet in the coal country. \"You would never Imagine that a\nstrike was on by visiting Fernie at the\npresent time,\" said Mr. Godenrath. \"It\nIs not true that the miners are leaving\nthe country. They are all having a good\ntime and seemed to think that a satisfactory settlement was not far off. They\nare about the jolllest crowd of miners I\nhave met in a long time, and Fernle today is a bustling, busy camp. One has\nto go into the Boundary country to find\nout that there is a coal strike In progress. It does not seem to worry the\nFernie people. The men were all orderly\nand there was no suggestion of trouble.\nI saw deputy minister of labor King. He\nwas hopeful, but not inclined to be communicative at the present time. He has\nbeen visiting all the coal camps ln turn\nand getting at the root of the difficulty.\nI think you will find all the men hack at\nwork under some temporary arrangement before very long, and that eventually a permanent settlement will be\narrived at satisfactory to all concerned.\"\nMr. Godenrath, who is well known ns a\njournalist throughout the Kootenays, Is\nstopping at the Hume, and will go over\nto the Boundary tomorrow.\nCIVIC FINANCES.\nOverdraft Arranged For\u2014Outstanding\nAccounts to Be Settled Within 14 pays\nDo you owe the city any arrears of real\nestute tnxes, water, electric ligiit, or\nscavenger rates, sewerage rentnls or licence fees?\nIf so you had better pay up without dels:'.\nAt a special meeting of the council yes-\nterdny afternoon a resolution was adopted\nthat the chief of police, as licence inspector, should forthwith collect all outstanding licence fees, and wherever necessary tako proceedings to enforce collection, and further, that notices should bo\nsent to nil persons ln nrrears to the city\non odher accounts thnt unless said arrears\nbe paid within fourteen days proceedings\nwill be taken.\nThis course is made necessary by tho\nfact that there is owing to the city on\none account nnd another no less a sum\nthan $29,000. Of this amount fully J25.000\nis secured as a lien on the properties of\nthe debtors, so that a very large sum of\nmoney will flow into the civic exchequer\nduring the next few days, unless those in\nnrrears wnnt lawyers' fees added to their\nbills. The meeting of the council wns\nprimarily called to arrange for the city's\noverdraft at the Bank of Montreal. The\namount of the overdraft nt present is 132,-\n000. A resolution was adopted empowering the mayor, city clerk, and members\nof the finance committee to sign a promissory note for $40,000 to cover tho overdraft, pending the collection of outstanding and current revenues.\nGOVERNMENT CONSTRUCTION\nOf New Transcontinental Railway Urged\nUpon Toronto Members.\nToronto, Feb. 26.\u2014A large deputation of\nsingle tnxers and labor men waited upon\nthe Toronto members of the dominion parliament yesterday afternoon in the office\nof E. B. Osier, M.P., to get their opinion\nregarding the building of another transcontinental railway. The deputation\nstrongly opposed the building of the road\nby the Grand Trunk or any other company or private capitalists, but recommended strongly that the government undertake the task by issuing bonds for the\nrequired money, and that a strip of land,\n12 to 15 miles wide at both sides of the\nroad be reserved for farm lands to bo sold\nto settlers, the Increased value of the land\ncontributing towards the payment of Interest upon the bonds.\nW.

Some time ago that paper\ndirected attention to the fact that what\nare known as the large financial Interests ln Wall street are bitterly opposed\nto president Roosevelt's continuation in\noffice, and are determined to defeat\nhim, if possible, in the convention, and\nif not in the convention, at the polls.\nAs time goes on, this becomes even more\nplain. Of late, moreover, it is becoming\nclear that the official Wall street candidate has already been selected on the\ndemocratic side, with whom it is, no\ndoubt, hoped to beat Mr. Roosevelt,\nshould he be nominated.\nThe Journal goes on to say: We find\nthe columns of our brilliant contemporary, the Sun, full of information on this\nwhole matter. It has taken the lead\nin opposition to the president, and\nwithin the past two or three weeks, has\nbeen at mucn pains to inform the country of the solid merits of judge Alton\nB. Parker as the strongest democrat\nnow before the public. According to\nthe Herald, some wagers have already\nbeen made respecting judge Parker's\ncandidacy and its probable results. It\nis probably fair to say that judge Parker\nIs the man with whom Wall street hopes\nto beat Mr. Roosevelt, provided that one\nof Mr. Roosevelt's own party does not\nbeat him in the convention. \"Anything\nto beat Roosevelt\" is clearly the motto\nof the powerful financial interests in the\nstreet, so far as 1904 is concerned.\nWhat Is the fault that Wall street\nfinds with president Roosevelt? Different answers would no doubt be given to\nthis question by different people. Some\nwould say that the president was dangerous, because he was Impulsive and\nerratic; some affect to consider him a\ndemagogue because of his attitude on\nthe trust question and on the coal\nstrike; all would agree in saying that\nhe was not to be controlled by anybody. It seems to us that this last is\nthe crux of the whole matter. No particular fault was found with the president previous to ills intervention in the\nNorthern Securities ease a year ago.\nHis action in that matter opened the\neyes of the financial powers, and did\nit In the rudest possible fashion. They\nhad neither been consulted nor warned\nbeforehand. Thc blow fell suddenly.\nThen enmo the coal strike, und Mr.\nRoosevelt's intervention as representing\nthe public. A second time they felt\nthe force of his haun\nThe situation is undeniably Interest-\n. Ing. President Roosevelt has in his administration up to date been supported\nby the general mass of public opinion\nin tbls country. No one in his party is\nstrong enough to stand against him as\nhis equal in the public eye. He has two\nqualities of a kind that always excite\npublic enthusiasm, absolute honesty\nand absolute independence. The very\nfact that his independence hns earned\nfor him tbe whole-souled hostility of\nWall street is not at all unlikely to\nprove a great element of strength to\nhim ln the coming campaign. It is for\nthis reason thnt we regard the attitude\nof Wall street as very unwise at this\njuncture.\nHow is Mr. Roosevelt to be beaten?\nIt seems to us that he can be beaten in\ntho convention only by wholesale\ntreachery on the part of his party. To\nsoy that he is much the strongest candidate that the republican party could\npossibly put up is to state a fact admitted by everyone. It is possible that another candidate might better please Wall\nstreet, but It would only be because he\nwould forfeit the support of the people\nat large. How Is Mr. Roosevelt, If nominated, to be beaten nt the polls? He\ncan only be beaten by the election of a\ncandidate standing for principles such\nas those embodied in the \"yellow\" journalism. A concentration of the forces\nof socialism, demagogery and \"high finance\" would be necessary for this purpose, and even then it might not be successful; and if It were successful, would\nthe \"high finance\" feel quite comfortable\nln Its new surroundings?\nIt Is impossible not to feel some sympathy with the \"high finance\" in its\npresent position. It has been accustomed for some time to have things more or\nless to Its liking, and it Is not accus\ntomed to dealing as a minority interest,\nso to speak, and where it does not control. President Roosevelt's independence in matters affecting financial interests has been a great surprise, and of\ncourse a bitter disappointment. Tbls,\nhowever, while it may be a bad thing\nfor the country, is not necessarily so.\nIt is not universally admitted that Wall\nstreet is the only safe or proper guard-\nIan of the interests of the country. We\nthink that in many respects Wall street's\njudgment on matters of general public\ninterest is apt to be wise and sound economically and financially. Wall street,\nhowever, enjoys no prerogative of infallibility so far as the country is concerned, even in matters of financial faith\nor economic morals. All that can be said\nabout it Is that it is the most highly\norganized and probably the most intellectually efficient portion of the public\nin these matters.\nWHAT THE C. P. R. WANTS.\nApplying   for   Balance of Coal   Lands\nAlong Elk River Under Subsidy Act.\nA glance at the map of southeastern\nBritish Columbia Issued by the Canadian\nPacific railway's land department, In\nwhich the land now held by the big\nconcern is plainly marked, shows very\nclearly what the company's latest move\nln the courts means to this section of\nthe province.\nFrom Elko north along the western\nbank ot the Elk rives is an Irregular\nsection of country containing some 240,-\n000 acres of land, most, if not all of I*\nrich ln coal. On the east side of this\nstrip, but on the east side of Elk fiver\nare the towns of Elko, Morrissey, Coal\nCreek, Fernle, Hosmer, Sparwood, and\na little further to the east, Michel. All\nthese towns are in the \"red\" or C. P. R.\nsections, that Is, land already selected\nand owned by the C. P. R. under their\nland subsidy grants. Immediately to the\nwest of the Irregular section already\nmentioned Is another huge block of C.\nP. R. lands, and it is now said tbat the\nrailway Is claiming the 240,000 acres\nwhich He between its already owned\nsections and which forms the irregular\nlot of land described.\nThe particular Importance of the new\nmove is this: The Elk river divides the\ncoal lands, and on the east side tbe\nCrow's Nest Pass Coal company controls\nthe most easily worked lands, but on the\nwest side are lands which can just as\nreadily be worked and which were supposed to be government lands1, but which\nthe C. P. R. are now claiming under\ntheir Columbia & Western subsidy\ngrant. Applications have already been\nmade to the government for coal rights\nby private Individuals on the ground\nnow claimed by the railway and tbe authorities have been importuned to grant\na title so that the locators could get to\nwork and develop the coal seams, which\ncan be done comparatively cheaply and\neasily. If tbe railway succeeds ln making\nits claim good to these vastly valuable\nlands it will mean the closing out of all\nthe rights which private Individuals\nhave been struggling to obtain for many\nmonths.\nIf the matter is fought out In the\ncourts it is not probable that the additional claim of the railway will be allowed.\nThe total acreage of southeastern\nKootenay is about 4,500.000, and of this\ntho Canadian Pacific has already obtained and is ln possession of over 3,000,000\nacres and they are now seeking to obtain\nthe additional 240,000 acres mentioned.\nTHE TARIFF AND PROSPERITY.\n(From the Toronto Weekly Sun.)\nA financial critic of repute, who is\nthe president of one of the great railways of the United States* points out\nhow high tariffs first stimulate Industry\nand then paralyze and impoverish It. A\nhigh tariff makes possible combinations\nto maintain high prices. Those who start\nfirst to hold up prices profit largely, but\nas the procesB becomes more general, the\nnet result is that no one Ib much better\noff. Persons of fixed income and laborers, If they do not receive higher wages,\naro worBe off. They receive less for their\nmoney. So are all classes engaged ln\nproducing for export. The farmer may\nbe taken as typical and the most Important example. He pays more for\ngoods, freight, and wages, while the\nprice of his bacon, beet, or wheat Is not\ndetermined by the price of goods, freight\nand wages In America The dollar which\nhe receives will not buy here what would\nbe a dollar's worth In England. His\nprofits are reduced, his enterprise decreases, and his own purchasing power\ngrows less. Then, the manufacturers\nfeel that something Is wrong. Exports\nare falling off, and trade Ib alack. They\njack prices up another notch and for\neign goods begin to come in. The factories complain more than before, and\nthere Is an agitation for more protection.\nNeither one nor the other avails. The\nfactories close down, laborers starve, and\nwe have hard times, because the natural\nbalance of exchange prices has been\nartificially disturbed. Such Is the theory\non the truth of which depends our present prosperity. There are signs of\nwaning already. Since 1897, prices in\nthe United States have greatly advanced.\nAlthough the Dingley tariff is high, foreign goods have begun to come ln. At\nall events, the money stringency, which\nlately wrecked the stock gamblers, was\npartly explained by the assertion that\nan extraordinary importation of foreign\ngoods absorbed the crop returns, which\nwere expected to relieve the stock\nmarket. More costly material and\nwages are forcing up freight rates, and\nthe millions so exacted must come tn\nthe main from the pockets of the producers for export. We have already in\nCanada the agitation for more duties,\nthough it is probable, we hope, that\nour good times will have a course to\nrun.\nLUMBER IS KING.\nBritish Columbia Timber Cut This Year\nWill Be Enormous.\nIn speaking to a reporter of The Daily\nNews yesterday, G. O. Buchanan, of\nKaslo, referred to the present boom In\nthe lumber business of this province,\nwhich had grown steadily for some time\nand this year is making such gigantic\nstrides. Many Americans had come\nthrough the southeastern portions of\nBritish Columbia and had acquired\ntimber rights and mills ln several sections, and in some instances had made\ngreat bargains getting in under one control several widely scattered properties.\nEastern Canadian timber men have also\ncome ln, particularly of late, and British\nColumbia men, note in the timber business, have acquired and are now seeking\nto obtain, large tracts of timber for speculative purposes. Tbe cut this year will\nfar exceed anything attempted ln British\nColumbia up to date, and there should\nbe no difficulty in disposing of the output at fair prices. Owing to the certain\ninrush this year of settlers Into the territories, there ts sure to be a heavy\ndemand for shingles and lumber, and\nBritish Columbln is in an excellent\nposition to take advantage of the situation. The home market should be a good\none tbls year, and with the demand from\nthe territories, the large expected cut\nnow being prepared for should easily be\ndisposed of.\nEveryone acquainted with the timber\noutlook in this province at the present\ntime will agree with Mr. Buchanan's\nviews, and there are many who take\neven a brighter view of the Industry's\nImmediate future, and who say that\nmillions of dollars are being Invested to\nsupply the increasing demands upon the\nBritish Columbia supply. Prices are\nalready climbing up and will probably\ngo much higher this year. In east Kootenay, particularly, the lumber Interest\nhas for the moment at any rate, taken\nthe place of mining, and is affording\nwork for a small army of men.\nTO FOUND A UNIVERSITY.\nBerlin, Fob. 25.\u2014A committee composed of distinguished personages, has been\nformed at Hamburg, with the object of\nfounding a university there.
