Schofield on Work of\nLegislature\nIMPORTANT ANDPLEASANT\nABSENCE OF RANCOR EVIDENT IN\nOTHER YEARS\u2014WATER CLAU8.\nES CONSOLIDATION ACT AND\nAMENDMENTTO ELECTION ACT\n-GRANTS FOR PUBLIC WR0K8.\nThat the session of the legislature\njust closed was ono of the most Important and at the same time one of the\n'Pleasantest ln ysars Is tbe opinion of\nJames H. Schofield, M.P.P. for Ymlr,\n\u25a0who came In from Trail ywrterday.\nAmong the measures of great public\ninterest disposed of were the Water\nClauses Consolidation act and the bill\nto ismond the Provincial Elections act,\nwhile many other useful laws were also\nplaced on the statute books. The feature of tha session was tlie absence of\nthat rancor, which has been In evidence\nin many past session!. While there were\ntimes when the proceedings were quite\nstrenuous, there was an almost entire\nabsence of personalities in the debates.\nOne of the most gratifying things\nIn connection with tlie session was the\nexcellent financial statement submitted by Hon. ft. G .Tatlow, minister or\nfinance and the Iorge grants for public\nworks ond for (public Institutions.\nAmong these were large gran's for the\nvarious constituencies in the Kootenay.\nIncluding $50,000 for roads, etc., in\nYmlr, and \u00a510,000 for bridges and $1800\nfor ferries ln the same constituency,\nwhile 1500 was Included for tha Nelson\nrifle association, the same ns wias given\nto similar associations in Victoria and\nVancouver. Among ^ne places which\nwill'benefit by the appropriation for\nYmlr will Ibe Pairview, wliere streets,\nsidewalks, etc. will receive attention.\nDiscussing the Water Clauses Consolidation act, Mr. Schofield \"aid under\nit all the water rights in the province\nare declared crown property. Present\nholders of tile rights will, of course,\nreceive first consideration and will be\nallowed sufficient water to meet their\nneeds, but where anyone has rights\nbeyond his necessities, the baance over\nand above wnat he actually requires\nwill revert to the province and may be\ngiven to others in the neighborhood\nwho require .water. For the purpose of\nexamining into present conditions and\ndeciding as to the amount of water required by each person desiring it. a\ncommission Is to be appointed, which\nwill travel over tbe various parts of\nthe province, visiting each locality and\npersonally investigating the requirements of the different individuals and\nflrmB and also the sources of supply.\nThis work will perhaps take a year or\ntwo. and the new system will not be\nput Into operation until the commission has completed this work. The bill\nbeing tbe most far reaching measure of\nits kind ever brought down in the British Columbia legislature was discussed\n\u00abt length. It may not be perfect, In\nfact Hon. p. J. Fulton, its author, did\nnot make any claim that lt was. but if\nany defects appear before next session\nthey can bi remedied before the measure actually goes Into operation and\neven after that If any further amendments are required they can he made\nby tbe legislature. The object of the\ngovernment 18 to get a bill as nearly\nperfect as possible, one that will do\njustice to those who now are without\nwater 'and at the same time protect the\nrights, so far as their requirements go,\nof those who already hold records.\nUnder tlie act. for example. If a man\nhas BOO acres to Irrigate, but hrm secured water rights enough for say 3000.\nhe will lose the right to all above hi\u00bb\nactual requirements but enough for\nthese will be assured him. In this way\neveryone will be given a fair show and\nthe Irrigation made possible of thousands of acres for which under existing\nconditions water cannot be secured.\nRegarding the Election act. IMr. Schofield said that It would work primarily\nto the advantage of -ne worklngmen\nand particularly to the socialists as a\nparty, for it would remove a large num\nber of absentee voters from the lists,\n\u25a0while at the same time ample protection was given those who were rightfully on the llBt. It would mean cleaner HstR and therefore more representative elections In the various constituencies, for the bringing in large numbers ot outside voters who have become residents ot other parts of the\nprovince would be done away with. H\nwas easy to see how this would be to the\nadvantage of the socialists as a political party, for they say that thev never\nhave any money to spend on bringing\nin their outside vote. However, it was\nnot to assist tlie socialists that this bill\nwas brought In but to give the .province\nbetter voters' lists and this it would\nhave the efect of providing\n. The grants for roads, bridges, streets\nand wharves In the various constituencies In Kootenay and the Boundary\nwere as follows:\nYmlr  \u00bbB0.00n\nSlocan     40,175\nKaslo    40.000\nFernie    28.000\nCranbrook  ,   25,000\nRevelstoke      35.000\nColumbia    23.850\nGrand Forks    14,260 ,\nGreenwood    10.800'   \u25a0'\n. In addition to these grants these constituencies will receive larger or\nsmaller amounts out of the general appropriations tor bridges, wharves and\nthe location of roads,\nwhich were respectively\n000 and S5.000. Ymir. for example\nreceive out of the first of these Hu\u00bb\"\n000 and would also get In addition 1500\ntowards a ferry over the Columbia at\nTrail and \u00bb600 for another over the\nKootenay river at Lewis- The appropriations also contain $25,000 for the\nrebuilding of tlie court house at Fernie,\ndestroyed by the big fire last year, and\n$5000 for the government offices at\nKaslo. Tliere Is also provision made\nfor schools In various sections of the\nInterior, including everal new buildings. Among the latter is a grant of\n$3500 for a new school at Creston, In\nthe Ymlr constituency.\nWith the estimates tor the current\nyear there were brought down the supplementary estimates for the year ending the last day of the present month,\n.containing many grants to Kootenay.\nThese included $10,000 tor the completion of the Nelson court house and the\nfollowing grants for roads, streets,\nbridges and wharves, with the amount\nvoted at the session of 1908 for the\nsame purpose:\nYmir   $14,000      $26,000\nSlocan      1.100        17.000\nKaslo     2,000        24.600\nCranbrook     8.500 5,000\nRevelstoke    4,000        17.000\n\u25a0In the supplementary estimates for\ntho year just closing there were also\nadditional appropriations of $18,000 for\nschools and $147,000 for bridges through\nout the province, of which the Kootenay country received its share.\nAmong the special Items provided\nfor were $6,360.14 for the relief of the\nFernie fire sufferers. $10,000 to the city\nof Fernie for the construction of municipal buildings ami sidewalks' and\n$25,000 toward rebuilding of the Ferule\nschool.\nIt would be thus seen, said Mr. Schofield. that the government was doing\nits best to assslst in the development\nof this part of the province, besides\nmeeting tbe special claims that may\nbe made upon it.\nROYAL AERONAUT TALKS\nPRINCE HENRY OF GERMANY LECTURES ON AIRSHIPS.\nINTERESTING   RELATION   OF  PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.\nKIEL, March 32\u2014Prince Henry of\nPrussia, brother pf emperor William,\ngave an Illustrated lecture before the\nAero club on Saturday last concerning\nhis five hour v\u00b0yage in the Zeppelin\nairship on October 27 last. This la tho\nfirst narrative of the personal experiences of the prince to be made public.\nHe expressed himself as skeptical of\nthe usefulness of the air craft in the\npresent state of development, for war\npurposes owing to their inherent weakness and the lack of knowledge of aerial currents.\nThe lecture was illustrated with a\nseries of splendid moving pictures\nwhich stirred the emotions of the audience. Describing the trip prlnce Henry\nsaid: \"My heart beat fast when we\nfirst ascended in tbe air- All sorts of\nquestions crowded in on the brain.\nKeeping one in a continual state of excitement. The ship 'gradually rose\nwithout apparent motion until I saw\nthe asisstants in the balloon shed looking upwards. Then it became suddenly\na matter of difficulty to ask questions\nand receive replies owing to the deafening- motors and whirling of the propellors. i was obliged to shout into\nthe ear of my neighbor but wag unable\nto make myself understood. Tills disadvantage must be overcome as an airship's presence would thus be betrayed\na long distance away. -A dirigible balloon is exactly like a ship in a river,\nit depends on uie currents whether it\nwill reach the Soai sooner or later, or\nnot at ail.\"\nThe royal lecturer described; hts turn\nat the' wheel and concluded by saying:\n\"Although the steering ttackle is not\nyet Ideal, yet the great ship answered\nthe helm as easily as a steam pinnace.\"\nAfter a description of the easy landing on the surface of the water, which\nwas afected absolutely without shock,\nthe prince went on to draw conclusions\nfrom his experiences.\n\"The question of reaching a certain\npoint by means of a dirigible airship\nin favorable weather.'' he said, \"may\nrightly he deemed to have been solved\nand astonishment is aroused at the\nsimple technical means employed. I\nam rather sceptical, however, whether\nairships oan be -considered as forming\npart of our present means of transportation or whether they would be useful\nfor war' purposes. The air currents\nhave not been made the subject of close\nresearch while airships are not yet able\nto make much progress against even\nmoderate winds. To overcome these\ndifficulties more powerful motors and\nbigger airships are needed- The altitude also presents 'limitations. Owing\nto the fact of air becoming rarer, the\npropellor does not have the same force\nin the higher regions and the sparking\nof the motojv ls difficult owing to the\nlack of oxygen. The development of\ndirigible balloons presents the most\nvaried problems, it Is ia national task\nto further aeronautics and to strive for\ntheir development so that Germany\nmay not remain beh.nd other nations.\"\nUnion Recognition.\nSCRANTON, March 22.\u2014Recognition\nof their union as an organization hy\nthe anthracite operators will be the\nslogan of the convention of districts\nnumbers one, seven and nine of the\nUnited Mine Workers, in the Music hall\nhere tomorrow. 700 delegates are expected to he In attendance.\nit '   Governor Resigns.\nSANTA FE, N.

The bill\nwill be sent back to the committee on\nstanding orders, a complaint having\nbeen made during the discussion that\nstatutory provisions in respect to the\ngiving of proper notice had not been\ncomplied with. This was not, however,\nthe sole reason for the decision of the\nhouse that it would be advisable to\ndefer the discussion. That was based\non the arguments of those opposed to\nthe biil, to the effect that the policyholders should be given a longer period\nin which to consider their position.\nThe bill respecting C. P. R. branch\nlines In the west was under discussion\nfor half an hour. W. W. Ruttan moved\nsome amendments in respect to the\nLanlgan-Prince Albert branch, the\nsame as he moved in the railway committee. It calls for the immediate con-\ns'ljruction of a portion at the line. In\nthe absence of Dr. Mclntyre, discussion\nwas postponed. When the bill respecting C, P. R. branch lines in the west\nwas reached Mr. Ruttan again brought\nup the question of the necessity for\nearly construction of the proposed line\nfrom Lanigan to Prince Albert. He\nmoved that the bill be amended so as\nto require the company to build 30\nmiles In 190!) and yearly thereafter un-\ntlll the road is finished. J. G. Turiff\nsought to move another amendment,\nbut the chairman objected that notice\nwas necessary, consequently he suggested that as promoter Mclntyre,\nStrathcona, was absent, committee\nshould rise.   This was adopted.\n(CftnndiHn Associated Press)\nOTTAWA, March 22.\u2014The house of\ncommons today devoted two hours to\nthe bill of the Canadian Life Assurance\ncompany. The object of the bill is to\nprovide that policy holders of the company are entitled only to the profits\nupon the Insurance business and not\nupon the capital as well. When the\nbill was last before the house it was\nallowed to stand over for a week pending an expression of opinion from the\nminister of justice on the wisdom of\nthe proposed legislation. Today Hon.\nA. B. Aylesworth did not appear anxious to give this opinion. Finally he\nmerely gave his views \"as any other\nmember of the committee might.\" He\nheld that it was entirely within the\njurisdiction of parliament to deal with\nthe matter. Personally he Intended to\nsupport the bill and rested upon the\naction of the committee which had reported it. They must have done so on\ngood grounds. He was a policy holder\nIn the company and if legislation was\nhurting the policy holders, then lt was\ninjuring him. The whole question was\nas to whether a mistake was made ln\n1879.\nMr. Shnrp wanted the bill referred\nhack to the committee to determine if\nthe proper notice had been given. He\nthought that the real purpose of the\ncompany In seeking the legislation had\nbeen hidden In the notice given. Mr.\nBorden supported this view and sir\nWilfrid Laurier declared the objection\nwas worth consideration but suggested\nthat consideration of the bill be proceeded with. After a number of members had spoken upon the matter the\nsuggestion of Mr. Sharp was accepted\nand the bill sent back to the committee.\nHon. W. S. Fielding Informed Mr.\nHughes.that so far from there being\nrfny agitation to have beet sugar refineries prohibited from importing their\nraw sugars from Europe under the\npreferential tariff, the agitation seemed to -be the other way. As to whether\nit was the intention to grant tbe same\nrate of duty on European sugar to beet\nrefineries as they now obtain on their\nraw sugarB, Mr. Fielding said it would\nnot be expedient to make this evident\nln advance of the budget speech.\nAt the evening sitting A. K. FcLean,\nLunenberg, moved for a copy of all\ndocuments relating to the establishment of Uie geological service bureau\nand the commencement of a good survey of Canada. After some discussion\non the point of having all the survey\nwork placed under the jiontrol of one\ndepartment, the motion for papers was\ncarried.\nMr. Borden asked what action, If any,\nthe government proposed to take ln reference to the report of, Mr. justice\nCasBells, and Sir Wilfrid promised a\nreply on Tuesday or Wednesday.\nOTTAWA, March 22.\u2014Mr. McKenzle of North Cape Breton, offered a\nresolution that such steps should be\ntaken as1 niay be deemed most effective In conserving the home market to\nCanadian coal operators.

The lecturer said he\nwould put aside the ahsurd aspect of 'Canada for Canadians\" which was the ballot\ncry of tho stupid local patriot, saying\n\"whatever tariff Canada might put ou\nmanufacturers, for heaven's sake don't\nput a tariff on brains, for If you do you\nwill not even secure a monopoly. Canada\nneeds th best and It would be very poor\npatriotism to he put off with anything\nsecondary mere on the ground of tlio locality of birth.\" The sense in which be\nwished to plead for \"Canada for Canadians\" was in conservation of uie\ncountry's natural resources. Touching upon the lands of tlie country, which, he\nsaid, were one of the country's greatest\nnssots, Prof. Cox satd every poBBlhlbe\nmeans were being taken to bring out\nhordes of Immigrants, many of whom\n\u25a0were the Bcnm of Europe and placing them\non the lands of the northwest.\n\"Surely\" he said \"yon cannot be no much\nIn love with modern civilization as to wish\nto multiply its worst aspect all over the\nearth.

March 22\u2014That the\nPayne tariff bill will increase the cost\nof living, that it is crude. Indefinite,\nsectional and prohibitive and that it is\nan open challenge to a trade war with\nevery nation on earth, nre some of the\ncriticisms of that measure made by the\ndemocratic members of the ways and\nmeans committee in the minority report. The report Is a severe arraignment of the revision which t.iie Payne\nhill proposes.\n\"There are many changes, for the\nmost part minor changes,\" says the report, \"of the Dingley rates, some up\nand some down- Most of the changeu\nIn a downward direction are reductions\nmore apparent than real, the Payne\nrates being as prohibitive in their results In many cases as the Dingley\nrates. In some of the schedules containing most exorbitant rates there are\nno changes giving an appreciable relief to an appreciable relief to any great\nnumber of consumers.\"\nDeclaring that a tariff is a tax paid\nby the consumer and tnat the \u00b0nly\nfunction of a tariff law is to raise revenue to supply the needs of the government, the minority members of the\ncommittee insist that instead of an increase of the tariff or a new issue cjf\nbonds, the correct remedy for the coming deficiency ln the revenues is cutting down of'the expenses of- running\nthe government.\nContinuing the criticism of the Payne\nbill, the report fays: -'The whole maximum and minimum tariff plan as set\nforth in the Payne 'bill enables foreign\ncountries to force us to raise the rates\nof the Payne schedules 20 per cent,\nwhich would, after malting (ample allowance for all reductions In the Payne\nbill, Increase om* tariff rates on the average much above the rates of the Ding\nley law. .a prospect which will bring\nsorrow and dismay to a great body of\nthe people. We are heartily in favor\nof such a maximum tariff aa will enable our government to negotiate tariff\narrangements by making concessions\nto other governments by reducing thp\nrates of our statute when such other\ncountries will make really valuable\nconcessions to us. The maximum rates\nshould be tlie rates of our statutes what\never they ai*o and the minimum a reasonable rate below the statutory rates,\nbut as it stands, the maximum and\nminimum tariff plan of the Payne bill\nIs an open challenge to a tradp war\n'with every other nation ou earth. It\nIs seeking tradg with a club or moat\naxe. We are opposed to such an unwise\nand unnecessary performance as this.\nIn this connection It may be well to\nponder thoroughly over our relations\nwith Cuba. Does any sane man suppose for one moment that the great*'\ncommercial nations, our competitors for\nthe world's trade, will concede that\nCuba la one of our dependencies. It fs\na thing incredible.\"\nThe report maintains that the tariff\narrangements for the Philippines\nshould be considered In a separate bill.\n\"Every article of food the laborers must\nhave to live on comfortably.\" says the\nreport, \"is heavily taxed, even tlie salt\non his table Is not exempt. This schedule (agricultural -products) was evidently prepared iby the same mind that\nhas dominated this bill, a mind certainly not unfair to the great trusts. The\nStandard Oil company Is as handsomely\ncared for in the Payne bill as in the\nDingley.\"\nThe report continues: \"And by reason of the position in paragraph 636.\n-popularly known ag the \"joker,\" continues to be protected by a tariff duty\nof 99 .per cent, which enables it to dominate and exploit the American market and to levy tribute on the Public,\nthereby piling up millions of dollalrs\nof Ill-gotten galnB.\"\nThe report further contends that a\nsimilar joker exists in the paragraph\nproviding for the free entry of coffee\nplaced a duty on coffee, the export duty\nImposed by the country from which it\nIs imported, *and that the consumer\nmust pay both the export duty of the\ncountry and the import duty of the\nUnited States. The tax on teas Is also\nattacked, the claim being made that the\n$7,000,000 which It is proposed to raise\nby imposing a duty on tea represents\nthe amount by whfcii the cost of living\nwill be increased by this tax.\nReferr-im* to the maximum and minimum features of the bill, Mr. Payne\nsaid that henceforth business would not\nsufer from unfair and unequal competl\ntlon from foreign soil. \"If they do not\ngive us an equal chance In tmir markets with any other nation.\" he said,\n\"we do not propose to allow them to\ncome into our markets at the minimum rates. Our markets are the greatest in the world; we are the greatest\nconsumers, the greatest buyers of any\nnation on earth.\"\nMr. Payne declared that his feature\nof the bill Is not a trick as was said.\nGreat Britain would co*me in at the\nminimum rates. %j there a man within sound of my voice,\" he exclaimed,\n\"who does not know that France and)\ni\nGermany, who are seeking our trade,\nwill now avail themselves of the minimum rates which we offe,r in this section, one of the act? Give them the option to make their rate with us, to put\ntihemaelves on an equality with Great\nBritain. At (his point Mr. Payne offered a substitute for section four of\nthe bill. Intended to dispose of the criticism which has been made that tihe\nmaximum duties would apply against a\nprovince or colony which discriminates\nin Its tariff in favor of the mother country. This substitute excepts the Philippine Islands from its provisions- Questioned by Mr- Sims, regarding the future revenues from the Panama canal,\nMr. Payne said that ultimately the canal would be a source of revenue.

The deal was put through hy\nA, D.

March 22\u2014In spite of minor\ndelays, the adjustment of the strike of\nthe French telegraphers and postmen.\nihat has disorganized the business life\nof France for a week or more. Is considered virtually hi sight. Fully 1000\nemployees returned to work this morning- A meeting attended by BOO strikers wbb held tnis morning and It was\ndecided that the recommendation of a\nstrike commit ten in thG matter of a\nsettlement, constituted ii surrender to\nthe government, because the resignation of M. Simyan, under secretary of\nposts mid telegraphs, has not been secured. Consequently another committee was appointed to see premier Cle-\nnienceau this morning.\nIt is the general opinion that the\nstrikers will emerge victorious and\nthat the government has saved its dignity in refusing to oust Simyjiii.\nThis official, however, has already\nbeen practically eliminated. He had no\nshare in the negotiations iand in tbe\nfuture the minister of public works will\ntreat with deputations from the employees' associations. Furthermore the\n'government agrees to regard (he w.io]e\nafair as a \"wave of folly.\" to wlp0 the\nindiscretions off the slate. In other\nwords, to punish no one, The newspapers of Paris are aiready reviewing\nthe strike as If were over.

Not content with winning all the\nsubstantial points for which they contended Including the elimination of under secretary Simyan. whose retirement\nit Is understood is only a question of\nhours, the militant strike leaders want\nto force the government to make a public confessslon of weakness by the dismissal of m, Simyan who has been obnoxious to the state employees.

While\npromoting their own welfare they, perhaps more than any other class of business men, promote that of the whole\ncommunity. They cannot hy any stretch\nof Imagination toe called parasites on\nt)he community, on the contrary the\ncommunity ia indebted lo their enterprise, initiative a\"d brains.\nNo Nelsonite can visit the neighboring valleys, which are now being settled through the means sketched above\nwithout feeling that the men behind the\nmovement on to British Columbia fruit\nlands are worthy of praise,\nA visit to Fruitvaie; Is particularly\nlikely Lo impress on the observer the\ntruth of tiie foregoing reflections. In\n1907 that fertile valley was a wilderness, a beautiful wilderness It is true,\nbut nevertheless a wilderness, broken\nonly hy two fruit ranch** In the upper\nend which are owned by Messr*. Wilson\nand Barclay, who planted them some\nten years ago and which are now vivid\nillustrations of the magnificent possibilities of the basin of Beaver creek.\nThat was 1907. when the passan'gers on\nthe Great Northern fain saw only a\nvalley some four and one half miles\nwide surrounded by low hills and covered with fir, tamarack, birch and poplar groves, with a string of cedars\nmarking the course of Beaver creek\ndown the center of the valley. Nobody\nthought of getting oil there at the be-\n\u25a0\u25a0\u2022'-\"    -\nginning of 1907. hut now the alighting\npassenger, and they alight daily, finds\nhimself In the center of a vigorous community. The chances are tihat Hie train\nwill he a few minutes late. In which\ncase he will be greeted by the shouts\nand laughter of three dozen school children, making the most of morning recess in the school yard about a bundled yards away. A community can he\njudged largely from Its school children\nand these ?\u2022'\u25a0\u25a0 well fed. well dressed,\n'happy young people who crowd a\nschool house that is too small to hold\nthem, are a pleasant endorsement of\nall the good reports the visitor may\nhave beard of this happy valley, when\nIt is learned that there are sixty children of.school agc In Fruitvaie and that\nfor their acominodation the government\nhas just completed a new school building at a cost of $2000, the remarkahle\nchange accomplished in the wilderness\nof two years ago is already demonstrated.\nBut lor the visitor who Is unable to\nargue the settlement from the school\nthere are plenty of other exhibits In\nevidence. The children are certainly\nIn the opinion of tbe writer, exhlb'MI\none, lint four general stores on the\ntownslte surrounding the station, one\nincluding the postoffice. an up to date\nmeat market, and an hotel, all fronting\non a wide, clean street, are gi'osser.\nthough peiihans more convincing, w u-\nnesses to the .prosperity of the youthful\nfruit growing district.\nThen again, looking around, up the\n\u25a0\u25a0alley and down it. the parklike appearance of the country for two miles\neither way, due to the clearing of nianv\nlota, t|ie residences that have been already erecteu, Uhe roads running all\nover aad the \"eat woven wire fences.\nthat make them look In parts more like\na city street than a country road, an\ncatch the eye and impress on the mind\nthat there Is beauty in these surroundings and something doln\u00ab amidst them.\nU was in the spring of 1907 that the\nKootenay Orchard Association acquired\n7000 acres of land In Beaver valley, saw\nthat It was good and named the tract\nFruitvaie. This was sub-divided into\n322 orchard tracts, running about 10\nacres each In area, the waste land being reserved and only the best bottom\nand bench land being platted for orchards. There are now over a buudred\nheads of families on these tract* and\nthe total population of Frultvaln 1s\nover 350- Where there was formerly\nonly a section house and side tracit.\nthere Is now the townslte. with a new\nstation houae, stores and school, surrounded on all sides by young orcbai-1\nand new clearings. There are 300 acres\nplanted in orchard and a good deal more\ncleared and partially cleared to be\nplanted this year, in fact another 600\nacres will be planted this season.\nLeaving the main street of the town\nsite and crossing Beaver creek on a\nwell made bridge, part of the 25 miles\nof wagon road built by the Kootenay\nOrchard association to open up the\ntract, the visitor reaches a road that\nruns for three miles up and down the\nvalley and which is now a part of the\ngovernment road tihe government having connected with it at the north end.\nEventually the government must build\nsouth to the Pend d'Oreille district, six\nmiles, where the settlers have now to\ngo 12 miles to get to the railway. This\nwill make the town of Fruitvaie the\ncenter for the Pend d'Oreille- On tihe\nwest road alone there are now about\n30 orchards planted and taking the valley over, about 20 new houses are In\ncourse of erection. On the government\nroad there are 25 young orchards planted, each with its dwelling and family,\nand on the east slope abont 50 settlers\nmany with families, are laying the\nfoundation of their own prosperity and\ndoing a little towards tihat of t-he Kootenay at the same time. These men.\nand such as these all over the province,\nare the pioneers of the great, happy\nand prosperous fruit growing population that British Columbia is to contain in the future.\nAll over the valley clearing is going\non for some 30 or 40 settlers who are\nto arrive this summer to plant their\ntrees and build their homes. The slashing is still proceeding and before long,\nwith the advent of the dry weather,\nthe windrows of brush and trees will be\nburned.\nA noticeable feature of the work of\nthe settlers, and one that gives great\npleasure, Is tihe excellent taste with\nwhich many of them have left cumps\nof trees about their dwellings. It Is\nnot only as ornamental features that\nthese will add to the pleasure of lite\nin the valley in the future,\nMore setters are expected in the valley this year than last. Already hardly\na day passes without a new arrival step-\npine* off the train at the new station\nbuilding on the townsite, where the\nmodern hotel is ready to accommodate\nhim.\nA feature of the work being done by\nthe settlers Is the co-operative spirit\nshown In planting- With great wisdom\nthe owners are planting few varieties\nand al] are planting ihe same varieties.\nIn a short time, when their trees begin to bear, their reward will come In\nsuperior ability to make up carload lots\nfor the market- As this question of\nselection of varieties to plant Is one of\ngreat interest to all orchardists. it\nshould be said that the Kootenay Orchard asssoclation's list, which they\nprovide their settlers, is as follows: Apples, spitzeubiirg. iWfnesap, Jonathan,\nNorthern Spy. Wagner. Rome Beauty,\nfor winter fruit; Mcintosh Red and\nGravenstein for fall, and Red Astra-\nltan and Yellow Transparent for summer. Pears, Bartlett and Beaui're He\nAngon.

Erie.\nStrawberries, Clark's Seedling and Magoon.\nIt is worthy of note that at the present time the Anglican. Presbyterian\nand Methodist denominations are holding services hi the school house, The\ntwo former denominations have purchased sites a little oyer an acre each,\nin a beautiful location on the bank of\nBeaver creek and will build In the future.\nAmong the causes that wll] acceUr-\nate the progress of Frultvaie in Jta initial steps is the working of the timber\nlimits in the vicinity. Minnesota capi-\nlallsts have lately bought limits near\nFruitvaie and Intend to build a mill\nthere shorty. The Churchill Cedar company of Spokane also has limits hi the\nneighborhood and having received\nlarge contracts for ties from the Grand\nTrunk Pacific, will at. once put hi tie\ncamps. ThoSe things Provide employment close to the homes of the settlers\nand will put a lot of money In circulation in the valley both in wages and In\nproviding a market for produce.\nAltogether the progress of Fruitvaie\nto date Hi the brief two years of Us\nexistence is a credit to the Kootenay\nOrchard association and speaks volumes\nfor the (!lass of settlers they are bringing into t'he vallleys of the Kootenay,\nSuch a transformation as has taken\nplace there, by which in some 24\nmonths the primeval woods have become \"n Eden in the making, with\ncompletion already visible to the observant eye- has to be seen to be properly\nappreciated and it Is \"ot too much to\nsay tihat many Kootenatans would be\nagreeably surprised If they were to visit\nTOUT AWFUL PI\nIII THE BACK\nIs a Sure Sign of Congestion of the\nKidneys.

MCCULLOCH OF THI8 CITY.\nThe following Is the third portion\nof a paper on \"Meteorological Conditions In British Columbia in Regard to\nth\u00ab Question of irrigation,\" read by A.\nli. McCulloch before the University\nclub a week ago laBt Saturday evening:\nFor the purpose of investigating Irrigation conditions for any district a\ndetailed study should be made of the\nvariations from average conditions.\nThe annual rainfall is subject to great\nvariations from year to year. By tha\nrecords kept for a period of ten years\nand up it is easily seen what years are\nabnormally dry and which are abnormally wet. It will be advisable to\natudy these records to determine the\naverage monthly rainfall during the\ngrowing season and the variations\nrrom the normal, so as to determine at\nwhat times and to what extent Irrigation may be necessary.\nThe following table gives the mean\naverage rainfall during the growing\nseason In typical districts of the humid, semi-humid and arid districts:\ntypical districts of the humid, seml-\nhumld and arid dlctrlcts. An exam-\nlrutlon ol the chart shows clearly the\ngrfat difference ln the summer rainfall\nin the various places, and Illustrates\nI\" a graphic manner the need for irrigation lu certain places. It will be\nseen from this table and the accom-\n(i nylng diagram Ihat the critical time\nfor grovr'ng crops where irrigation Is\nP'ncliced Is during the months of July\nand Aiiaust, but in the agricultural\ndistilcts of central and southern California tliere is a period of drouth extending throughout the whole of the\nsummer.\nIirlgat;on is now practiced to an Immense extent In the Paclllc coast and\nthe western states, the extent to which\nit has been adopted in these states is\nshown from the following figures from\nthe United States census report of\n11107:\nColorado  1,611,000 acres\nCalifornia   1,446,00 acres\nMontana       951,000 acres\nUtah       6,10,000 acres\nIdaho     603,000 acreB\nWyoming    006,000 acres\nOregon      388,000 acres\nWashington      136,000 acres\nSince 1900 there has heen a wonderful development In irrigation in these\nstates.

Kamloop-j,\non the contrary, shows the lowest\nyearly precipitation on the list and,\nWith the exception ot Sacramento and\nLob Angeles, the lowest summer rainfall also, showing without doubt that\nIrrigation Js essential tn that district.\nI have not got figures for the average\nsummer rainfall In the Vernon, Princeton or Nicola, but probably the need for\nirMgation Is about as essential In these\npli ces as at Kamloops.\nThe accompanying chart shows\ngraphically the mean average precipitation tor each month of the year In\nirrigation systems, the initial cost of\nwhich In mnny cases runs over $1,000,-\n000, and in one case at least to ?8.-\n000,000. These lands, after being, reclaimed, are sold to bonaflde settlers\nfor the actual cost ot the -improvements.\nThe following figures will give some\nIdea of the extent to which irrigation\nwas practiced in different countries in\n1903:\nIndia 33,000,000 acres\nEgypt 6,800,000 acres\nUnited  States     7,600,000 acres\nItaly   4,700,000 acres\nFrance       400,000 acres\nSpain   2,800,000 acres\nRapid advances are being made In\nwestern Canada In Irrigation, the total\narea under Irrigation at present or\ncovered by works under construction\namounting to about   3.000,000   acres,\nequal to the area of the lands under\nIrrigation in the combined states of\nColorado and California, the two banner irrigation states,\nThe C. P .R. irrigation project at Calgary will eventually bring under irrigation 2,250,000 acres, at an estimated\nultimate cost of $6,000,000; the next In\nImportance being that of the Alberta\nRailway & Irrigation Company from\nthe St. Mary's river in southern Alberta, with an acreage of 500,000 acres.\nIn British Columbia the development\nhas ibeen on less pretentious lines,\nsome of the largest at present In use\nor under construction comprise the following:\nWhite Valley Irrigation Company at\nColdstream, 20,000 acres.\nSouth Okanagan Land Company at\nOsoyoos, 12,000 acres.\nKeremeos Land Company at Keremeos, 6,000 acres.\nCanadian real properties in Kamloops, 5,500 acres.\nThe question of the advantages from\nthe application of water to growing\ncrops Is one that Is the subject of a\ngreat deal of investigation, and irrigation is more and more practiced even\nin humid countries, such as New Jersey and Florida.\nVery few districts are free from occasional droughts, when there Is a partial crop failure. In semi-humid countries, where these droughts are of frequent occurrence, the advantages of\nirrigation is generally conceded.\nIrrigation may be practiced either as\na matter of necessity, as a matter of\nInsurance, or as a matter of Increase\nof crops. In any of these cases it is\nfound that the area devoted to irrigation is constantly increasing. Apart\naltogether from the districts where irrigation is an absolute necessity for\nsuccessfully growing crops, there are\nmany sections where the rainfall Is\nrelatively large, where water Is available at moderate cost, that irrigation\nis practiced in a large way, the certainty of greater yield, the increase in\nthe growth of crops and the freedom\nfrom failure Is such that Irrigation Is\nconsidered a good business investment.\nAt Calgary, for instance, with a rainfall between April and August of 11\ninches the C. P. R. considers it good\nbusiness to irrigate 2,250,000 acres at\nan expense of $8,000,000.\nThe valleys of West Kootenay district have about the same average precipitation during the growing season\nas Calgary, and it will bo found good\nbusiness for the rancher to eliminate\nthe element of uncertainty from his\noperations by utilizing the many mountain streams for irrigation purposes.\nThere is a considerable variation In\nthe district in the amount of summer\nrainfall, and it will be found that the\napplication of water to growing crops\nat certain critical times will produce\ngood results. Where the land is high-\npriced and the value of the crop is\ngreat, the rancher will find it good\nbusiness to have water available for\ncrops, if It can be done at reasonable\ncost, even from the viewpoint of the\nIncrease ln the value of the crop, to\nsay nothing of the insurance againBt\ncrop failure. The question of the advisability of Irrigation in this district\nIs one in which every rancher must\nfeel an interest. He must consider\nthe question from his own special conditions purely as a commercial venture,\nas to the cost of irrigation and the\nbenefits to be gained from It.\nIn the district there are considerable\nareas of agricultural lands with a light\nsoil and a very porous sub-soil that it\nwould be foolish to attempt to work\nwithout Irrigation.\nWHITLA CA8E.\nKidnappers May Work Father Successfully.\nSHARON, March 22\u2014What today will\nbring forth In the Whitla kidnapping\ncase is not hnown. but from the many\nconferences between the detectives and\nthe Whitla family throughout yesterday\nand la3t night, and from the fact that\nall Interested in the case are very secretive, developments are likely.\nIt Is admitted the abductors have\ntaken preliminary steps to give the boy\nback for the ransom of $10,000- The\naffair at iAshtabulia. Ohio. Saturday\nnight and early Sunday morning Is believed to have been directed by the\nkidnappers for the only reason of discovering whether Mr. Whitla is sincere\nIn his Intention to pay the money. It\nis the genera] opinion now thiat the abductors had no thought of surrendering\nthe lad at Ashtabula hut were endeavoring to satisfy themselves that Mi*.\nWhitla will secretly pay the money for\nthe return of his boy.\nIt is also believed the kidnappers will\ncommunicate with Mr- Whitla in the\nnear future for the purpose of getting\nthe $10,000. The attitude of Mr. Whitla\nIn secretly depositing the ransom at\nAshtabula la an evidence that all he\nwants Is the child and that the abductors need not fear prosecution from\nhim.\nAsphysciated.\niNBW YORK, March 22\u2014Believed to\nbe the victim of the acldental turning\nof a gas jet in his room, Louis A.

McMORRIS    Manager\nALBERTA  ELECTIONS.\nThe Alberta elections have gone\npretty much as they were expected to.\nThe government has swept the country and the opposition will not find\nitself much stronger numerically in\nthe new house than It was in the last.\nThe Immense majority which the\ngovernment has secured Is in a large\nmeasure due to the manner in which\nthe government rushed the election,\ngiving little or no time.for a discussion\nof its record or It policy. There was\nno opportunity for the opposition to\npresent the Issues to the people, while\nlhe government, already strongly entrenched in power, was in a position to\nconduct a whirlwind campaign and did\nso with telling effect.\nOne thing that also contributed to\nthe result was the Tact that the province has been in existence less than\nfour years and that yesterday's elec-\ntlon was the first appeal to the country\nsince the machinery of the government\nwas actually put Into operation In\nAlberta. The government naturally\nhad a lot of constructlVR work to do,\nwhich any government composed of intelligent men could have done equally\nwell but for which premier Rutherford\nand his colleagues naturally received\ncredit from the people. Public opinion\nIn Alberta regarding provincial politics Is still in the formulattve state\nand the government got tbe benefit of\nIt.\nOne of the gratifying features of the\nresult from an opposition standpoint\nwas the election of Mr. R. B, Bennett\nIn Calgary. Mr. Bennett is an excellent speaker and also had parliamentary experience tn the old Northwest\nTerritories assembly and, even If he\nhas only two supporters In a house of\n41, he will give a good account of himself and will put up a much more vigorous fight than was put up against\nthe government in the last legislature.\nIf, however, the opposition hope for\nbetter success at the next election than\nthey achieved yesterday they should\ntake lesson and start their work of organization at once, instead of leaving lt\nto the last minute as they did In the\ncase of the contest just over.\nDrawer 1082\nNELSON, B. C.\nPhone 110\nWILL CANADA ACT?\nA new phase lias been added to the\nquestion of imperial naval defence by\nthe offer of New Zealand to provide one\nbattleship of tho latest type, and if\nnecessary two. for tbe British navy. It.\nis also Mid that the Australian government Is considering a similar step and\nwill announce Its decision next week.\nThis action of New Zealand comes at\na moat opportune time, following premier Asquitli's admission that, aa a result of his government's cheese-paring\npolicy in regard to the navy and its\nneglect to keep watch on what other\nnations were doing. -Germany will in\ntwo years have as many first class vessels as Great Britain. The premier's\nadmission has moved the people of England as nothing haa moved them In recent years. On -all Hides Is recognized\nthe absolute necessity for unprecedented naval activity and expenditure If\nGreat Britain is to retain her position\nas mistress of the setts.\nThis can well be said to be Great\nBritain's hour of need In naval miat-\nlers and New Zealand's generous offer of assistance Is certain to be warmly welcomed, whether or not advantage\nis taken of it- The moral effect of the\noffer cannot be estimated. The Boer\nwar showed that, ln so far aa military\nmatters were concerned, the empire\nIs a unit and that whoever treads\non the lion's tall has to reckon not only\nwith the Hon itself, but also with its\nwell grown Cubs. New Zealand's offer\nshows that the same Is true in regards\nnaval 'matters so far as that colony is\nconcerned. Any action that Australia\nmay take, and dispatches would'lndT-\ncate that the commonwealth will follow\nthe example of -New Zealand, will be\nstill further evidence of the unity and\nsolidarity of the empire in naval as\nwell as military matters.\nGratifying as must be New Zealand's\noffer and the attitude In Australia toward similar action by that colony,\nthere remains one jarring note, and especially will this be felt by those Canadians who recognize that it is not fair\nthat the British taxpayers should be\ntaxed for Canada's naval protection.\nIt is that Canada, the greatest of the\nself governing colonies, has made no\nmove toward coming to the empire's\nassistance in the present crisis. Especially is this so in view of the fact\nthat Canada has taken absolutely no\nsteps toward the protection of her own\nshores.. 'ill.\nAn offer from Canada at the present\ntime of a Dreadnought would have\nmore effect than had the sending.of\nthe various contingents to South Africa\nwhich wa8 hailed as such an evidence\nof the imperial spirit on the part of\nthe people of this country. The government of Canada may not. for reasons\nof Its own. feel justified in offering\nGreat Britain a battleship at the present time as ta small contribution toward\nthe cost of protecting this country's\nshores, but It Is hard'to see how any\nobjection can be raised to the taking\nof some definite action in tlie direction\nof the dominion assuming at least part\nof the responsibility of its own naval\ndefence.\nIf Canada Is to act In tliis matter at\nall, this is the time to do so. a clear\ncut announcement of policy at the pres\nent time showing that Canada realizes\nher obligation to the emplre In the matter of naval defence, and is prepared to\ndischarge as fully as lies In her power,\nwould have a far-reaching effect in\nview of the position In which Great\nBritain finds herself as a result of the\nnear-sighted policy of Mr. Asqulth's\nradical government.\nEDITORIAL   NOTES.\nThe dominion estimates for the current year now amount to $133,000,000\nor about $50,000,000 more than the re--\ncelpts- Fifty million dollars Is a big\ndeficit for Canada for one year, yet\nthat fs the amount which is Hkely t0 be\nadded to the public debt this year.\nIn connection with the government's\nproposal to loan the Grand Trunk Pacific $10,000,000. it ts interesting to note\nthat many years ago the government\nof Canada loaned the Grand Trunk railway $15,000,000. not one cent of which\nhas ever been returned. Would not\nthis be a good time for the government\nto arrange for a return of t'his money?\nSheep creek Is beginning to receive\nthe outside attention which It deserves.\nThe following is from the Victoria Colonist of Friday: \"We had a very Interesting despatch from Nelson yesterday\ntelling of the discovery of rich deposits\nof free milling ore at Sheep creek. We\nare disposed to regard this a Hkely to\nprove of great importance, as we were\ninformed by a prominent mining man\nfrom Rossland a couple of days ago\nthat some discoveries had been made\nIn this district leading to the belief\nthat mines of the greatest value would\nbe developed- Our informant said he\nknew of his own personal knowledge,\nthat bodies of rich ore had been located some six months ago, which, had\nthey been found in Colorado, would\nhave resulted In a great stampede.\nSheep creak, it may ,Ue mentioned, lies\nabout mldw\u00aby between Nelson and the\nboundary line,\nThe Simllkameen Star thus breezily\npays Us respects lo Mr. Duncan Ross,\nlate member for Yale-Caribou: \"As all\nthe world knows, Dime*, promised Grand\nPorks, the home city of his conqueror,\nMr. Burrell, M.P., a fine postoffice\nbuilding prior to the genenal elections\nlust fall. The liberal organ which boosted vociferously through the campaign\nhas Jusi awakened to the fact -some\none is a deceiver, to put it in as mild\nlianguage as possible- It say\u00ab: 'If It\n(The Sun) was unwittingly made a\nparty to a campaign dodge merely Intended to mislead the people, it has\nenough Independence left to cut loose\nTrom present party ties, even' after\nelg.'t years' association with the liberals.'

Five of the six games ended\nat 6.30 o'clock Saturday evening with\nthe score 4 to 1 In tthe Americans'\nfavor. This score included three wins\noutright, the boards 1, 3 and 5 with\ntwo draw games at boards 4 and 6. The\nsixth game was unfinished on hoards 2,\nand goes to the referee for adjustment,\nbut the American player has the call\non this.\nThe flrst to score for the Americans\nwas Blumberg, of Brooklyn, representing Columbia university. He had the\nwhite side of a pair off defense and\nsacrificed a pawn at the start to get a\nquick development, with the result that\nhe had his opponent at his mercy after\n20 moves. An hour later Whitaker, of\nthe University of Pennsylvania, with a\ntwo kalght opening won his game by a\nseries of careful plays. A short time\nafter. Wolff of Columbia won at his\nboard, assuring his team against de-\nfeat. His opponent was Boughton O.\nPord, whose record of two straight\nwins in three matches, made him the\nmost feared of the English team. The\nremaining three games were being\nfought out when Stephens of Princeton1\nalthough a pawn ahead, offered hia o|>-\nponent a draw in order to, clinch the\nvictory. This wus readily accepted\nhy his rival. Parsley of Harvard agreed\nto draw at the last moment, leaving\nonly the game between Hughes of the\nUniversity of Princeton, and Loeh of\nOxford. Hughes had a slight advantage and thought he could win, and the\nposition was held over for adjudication\nhy the referee, Walter P. Shipley of\nPhiladelphia.\nThe summary Is as follows:\nBoard 1, American, L. .1. Wolff, Columbia, 1 point; England. N. ,1. Brighton, Oxford, no points.\nBoard No. 2, American, W.

Mr. Fox crossed tho Atlantic In\nthe Allan liner Virginia and states that\nhe had a very pleasant crossing. He reports tliat he met with the most encouraging success In Interesting Influential men\nin   London  In   Nelson's  latest   entei'ijrlse.\nIMr, 'FOX stated that he found thut British Columbia was receiving an increasingly large amount of attention from lines-\ntors in the old country. People there, continued Mr, Fox, seemed to he at lust waking up to the enormous resources or me\nprovince umi to its natural advantages us\na great mining and fruitgrowing country,\nMe considered thai thy comln-g year would\nsee a tremendous Influx of the better class\nof Englishmen seeking an outlet for mob'\ncapital and energies,\nWith regard to the Jam factory Mr, Fox\nsatd that the work of erecting the bllld-\ning, which will he located on Fronl street\nnext to the warehouse of .1. v.

Coming acrosB the continent he has called on a number of largo\nretailing corporations In Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg and other cities and luin received promises in almost every Instance\nthat Kootenay Jam will lie given a fair\ntrial ln preference to that which In at\npresent being shipped from the old\ncountry. The general opinion expressed\namong those men was that Canada gcjncr-\ni  - -*\u25a0\u00bb-!\t\nally and British \"Columbia particularly\nwould ould be too glad to 'he able to uie\nhome manufactured jam If such could oe\nproduced up to thu necessary standard.\nHarry Beach, of the well known Knglisli\nflirm of T.

That\nthis company should be awarded the\ncontract, and at once, was the recommendation of the power and light, committee and, while the council did not\nadopt the resolution formally, it did so\nvirtually by* referring the matter hack\nto the power and light committee with\npower to act and instructions to let\nthe contract at once. The committee\nand city electrician Brown, with mayor\nSelous, will consult with the city solicitor regarding tiie drawing up of the\nagreement.\nA feature of the meeting waa the\ndissatisfaction expressed with the engineering firm of Clcil B. Smith, the\ncity's consulting engineers, whose\nfigures as now submitted for the completion of the second unit far exceed\nthose submitted by him last year. The\nmayor stated that In a letter written\nlast year to the then mayor, S. S.\nTaylor, Mr. Smith estimated the cost\nat $75,000, while Aid. Hale stated that\nhe verbally estimated the cost at $65,-\n000. The cost, as Mr, Smith now reckons it, will be $97,500, and the council\nis much dissatisfied, particularly, which\nwas -pointed out by Aid. Matthew, as\nthe firm is paid by a five per cent,\ncommission on the total outlay on the\nwork. The fact that Mr. Smith is not\nhere now when wanted and will not be\nhere for a couple of weeks to come,\nwas also the subject of adverse comment.\nIt was stated, however, thai It was\nnot the intention to allow Mr. Smith's\nincreased figures to pass. The belief\nwas expressed that a number of the\nitems could he cut down. While there\nwas some reticence shown as to the\nactual figures of the Allls-Chalmers\ntender, it was generally stated that the\nturbine and generator would cost an\namount equal to about one-third of\nthe total outlay. Tlie successful tend-\nderers were not the lowest, but the\nlowest In one case failed to comply\nwith the specifications and in tiie other\ncould give no better time than six\nmonths for delivery of the machinery,\nwhich was considered out of the question.\nThe contract for painiing the city\nhall was awarded t0 the lowest tenderer, Pearcy & Herb.\nThe cle^h reported that no petition\nhad a.s yet been received toy the purchase by the city of the tramway.\nThe hoard of works had no report\nto make on tho Baker street bridge.\nAid- McMorris issued a warning regarding ihe unsafe condition of the bridge\nand it wag decided to instruct the city\nengineer ito post notices requiring]\nteams to cross the bridge not faster\nthan a walk-\nIt was decided to do nothing in the\nmatter of the city wharf, which is\nabout worn out. until the CP.R. and\nGreat Northern \u00bbr0 heard from- The\nmayor remarked that if these companies did not offer to do anything towards building a new wharf, it would\nbe up lo the city to decide whether it\nshould build alone or close the present\nwharf to traffic.\nThe mayor referred again to the alleys and backyards, many of which, he\ndeclared, were In a very bad condition\nafter the winter. As tliP season advanced it would lie necessary for the\nmedical health officer to make an Inspection and for the council to insist\non a thorough clean up if an epidemic\nwas to be averted.\nGOOD HOME REMEDY\nESPECIALLY VALUED BY THE ELDERLY PEOPLE\nPRESCRIPTION    FOR   RHEUMATISM\nSAID TO  RELIEVE  PROMPTLY\nThe following prescription for Uie cure\nof rhcumutism nnd kidney und bladder\ntroubles has no doubt been filled millions\nof times, viz..

For some time past\nthis industry has languished In British\nColumbia. Prices have fallen and\nlarge reserves have accumulated. The\nwestern provinces, which are the legitimate market for our product have\nbeen invaded from without and made\na slaughter ground by foreign manufacturers. The absence of federal protection for the Canadian commodity,\nhas invited conditions which have\nborne heavily on the producer here,\nand American railways accentuated the\nevil by lowering their rate to American\nniillnien.\nThe comparative exhaustion of Ihe\ntimber wealth of the western states\nmust of itself eliminate the competition which has heretofore existed. But\neven were this not so the immense\nflow of population to the new provinces'\nthe rapid production of wealth and the\nconsequent enlarged demand for building material would create a market for\nour manufacture of which no competition or disabilities could rob us. British Columbia may look forward from\nthis time on with reasonable assurance\nnot only of such a market, but of a\nmarket which, through diminishing\ncompetition from other quarters will\npractically include the whole Canadian\nwest.\nAnd while our lumber interests are\njustified in looking forward to a market so extensive, there Is every promise that the demand made from the\nprairies during the present year will\nbe such as to absorb the existing reserves and quicken the industry into\nan activity not known in the past.\nThe interview which the Province published with John Hanbury in yesterday's issue on this subject is deserving\nof the careful attention of the public\nat large, as well as of those directly\ninterested in the progress and prosperity of lumbering in British Columbia. Mr. Hanbury is eminently fitted\nto speak on the immediate and future\nprospects of the industry. He has\npractical knowledge of it as one largely engaged In the enterprise in this\nprovince, and he haa intimate knowledge of the conditions which prevail\nIn the prairie country, through a residence there extending over a quarter\nof a century. When he tells us, therefore, of the active demand for lumber\nIn all sections of the middle west, he\nspeaks from facts obtained as a business man engaged In the very enterprise to which he refers. When he\nforesees a continuously expanding\nmarket, he assures us wfth authority\nthat what we hope for will come to\npass.\nA revival of the lumber industry\nwould, despite the prosperity which\nnow exists everywhere In the province,\n.be immediately felt. Our lumber Is\none of our great natural resources, and\nwith reasonable prudence In the management of our forests the output may\nbe regarded as inexhaustible. In supplying building material to the Increasing population of the new provinces this enterprise will continue Indefinitely to be a source of wealth to\nour people. With such a market for\nour lumber, our fish and our fruit, and\nwith the Pacific as the profitable route\nlor prairie export wheat, this province\nshould be linked, by indissoluble bonds\nof Interest and prosperity to the great\nmiddle west of Canada.\nNEWS OF THE DOMINION\nOTTAWA.
