Captain Scott's party marched\nan average, of 12 mileB a day all the\n\u2022; Way to the pole,, and they reached the\npole- or\\ Jan.  17, about    156    statute\n.-'.miles from the spot where Commander- Evans turned In 87 degrees, 35\nminutes. The first day at tho *-ole\nwas cloudy with a mock sun, The\nwoond day, Jan. 18, was clearer and\nthe sun visible. Sights were taken, for\nwhich purpose Scott used a four-Inch\ntheodolyte, . Cajtain Amundsen used a\nsextant: with an artificial horizon. Tha\nfixing df the pole by the two explorers\n\" differed hy only half a mile practically\nlocating the same spot. Scott's observations gave latitude 80 degrees,\n69% minutes. The party morched the\nextra half mile taking with them their\nmotor sledge and there planted tin\nunion jack in latitude 88. 'They had\ni?. previously picked -up Norwegian dog\ntracks And they followed- these to tho\nNorwegian catap which was \"situated\nwllhln three miles of the pole. The\ntrack of the Norwegian dogs was ef\nfaced by drifts at intervals. The narty\nfound all the records and the gear left\nby Amundsen. Sastrugl from two directions marked at the pole gave evidence of a slight blizzard since\nAinundgen erected his tent. The temperature at the pole was about 20 degrees below zero. The surface like\nthat bf the Barrier was soft, no crust.\nIt was found'from snow collected from\nany depth on melting was also unlike\ntho Barrier snow and gave very little\nmoisture. Ten photographs of Captain\nScott and his party were taken at the\npole. The films were covered- n\nCape EvanB together tvith two photo\ngraphs of the Norwegian tent a:\nCaptain Scott's party found it.\nReturn Journey\nThe return Journey over the plateau\nwas marked by a series of good\nmarches^ In medium weather. The\ntemperature averaged 20 to 30 de-\ngrees below zero and the.marches va\nried un. to 18 miles daily to the top\nof Beardmore glacier. Both the de\npots on the plateau, one 89 degrees\nand the other under Mo.urit Darwin,\nSS degrees seven minutes south, were\nsecured. Before descending Beard-\nft rnipre glacier Dr. Wilson and Lieutenant Bowers visited Buckley island and\nclimbed to a large Nunatack at tho top\nof the glacier. *\u2022\u25a0 Here they spent some\ntime making a large collection of fossil-bearing sandstone and coal In\nquantities. The fossils should finally\n;i settle the age of the latest scdlmen-\n* tory deposits yet found In Victoria\nland and are the best ever obtained\nin this quadrant.\n.\" Leaving Buckley Island and going\n'* down the glacier, they passed Mount\nKlnzey, a' tifingn lfi cent dolomite weak\nhaving ait altitude of 11,000 feet and\nforming an admirable steering point.\nWhen they reached a small depot un\nder Cloudmaker mountain they made\nanother halt for. geological Investigation. From the side of Cloudmaker\nmountain fossils of much greater age\nwere found in the light stone and a\ntotal,of 35 pounds of geological spjjct--\n[,- mens were carefullpr packed.\n*' These specimens were taken forward by the: party to their last camp\nand are now in' possession of the expedition, ,\u00ab_^\nBad Weather\n-From Cloudmaker - mountain to the\nfoot ot Beardmore glacier the surfaces\nencountered by the party consisted of\nthe same deep snow as on the way\nup and this fact, together with bad\nweather, severely hampered their\nsearch. The weather was about normally thick, With snow crystals falling, the surrounding land being only\noccasionally visible. r\n'   Crfntoln  Scott  dates  the beginning\n^oit the failure of Petty Officer-Edgar\n' Evans from tho time of reaching thc\npole. He was a great anxiety to them\n-oil the plateau and In the descent of\nthe Beardmore glacier when the warty\ngot among very rough Ice,.Evans fell\nInjuring his head and sustaining serious -concussion.\nEvans' Condition Bod\nDuring the whole of-the descent his\n^condition delayed the --arty. ,On Feb.\n17 while on, the march Evans*   foot\n'Worked out of his ski and ho was\nomoelled to fall out to adjust It.\" The\nparty moved along and, seeing he was\nno; following, they cnhipe-Q and cooked\n'a meal, anticipating that Evans would\nsoon reach them. When the meal was\nready and he had not arrived the party\nwent back and found him in a state of\ncollapse. He bravely trlqd to go forward, but had to be placed on a sledge\nand died a natural death within two\nhourB of reaching tho tent. Thls-de-\nlay, as the captain stated ln his diary,\ngreatly weakened the party and made\nan Inroad into their surplus provisions\nwhich was serious in view of the fact\nthat the season was unduly advanced.\nOwing to the lateness of the season\nand the subsequent falling temperature\nthe surface became sand-like, as is well\nknown in colder climates. Ice crystals\nwhich melt under the friction caused\nby a' sledge running over them nt.\nhigher temperatures cease to do so\nwhen the thermometer falls to 30 be-\nlow zero and become cutting edges.\nThe low temperature complained of by\nScott accounts for'the slowness of the\nparty's progress over the Barrier. The\naverage distance between depots was\n65 miles, which, not allowing for bad\nweather, meant that the party mun\naverage over nine miles a day. The\nfood and fuel stores at each depot gave\na full ration at this speed for a week.\nThe best day's march of the southern\nparty on the Barrier was approximately nine miles, falling at later stage!)\nt.) as low as eight miles. The failure to maintain a higher speed was\nevidently due to the falling condition'\n0f Captain Oates, this being a constant\ntax on the-energies of the party and'\nrapidly weakened them at a time when\nthey had to face persistent winds and\nfrequent blizzards. But despite the\nhopeless nature of the outlook they\nnever relinquished their gallant struggle, but fought on heroically to the\nbitter end.\n- As recorded In a previous despatch\nthe search party found their tent on\nNov. 4, 1912. It was half covered with\nsnow and the sledge with their gear\nwas completely covered. The tent was\nwell spread with an Inner tent placed\non poles. The bodies having been\nIdentified, the inner tent was placed\nover them and a large cairn of snoW\nwas erected and a cross placed on the\ntop, bearing the following record:\n_    Memorial Cairn.\n\"Left this cross and cairn erected\nover the remains of Captain \u25a0 R.

A. Mondou, Nationalist member\nfor Yamaska, interposed with a third\namendment declaring that Canada do\nnothing until the Dominion had been\ngiven a voice In the affairs of the empire. Mr. Mondou made a long speech\ntn support of his proposal.\nBoth the Verville and Laurier\namendments] were rejected by a government majority of 47. Col. H. H.\nMcLean, Liberal member for Queen's\nSunbury, who made a speech last week\nIn favor of the Borden proposals, voted with the government, but otherwise\nthe vote was on strictly party lines.\nThe usua^ excitement which attends\ntho taking of important divisions was\nmanifest.

S. B. Chute,\nBerwick, N. S., president of the United\nFruit companies of Nova Scotia, gave\nevidence. He contended that the apple\nshippers of Nova Scotia were suffering\nuneier most unjust rates on the railways and were unable to secure clean\nbills of lading so that they could make\nnu claims for shortage. They were\nalso badly treated in the way of rolling stock. The trade in Montreal, he\nsaid, had been particularly,-* injured.\nMr. Chute thought that acid phosphate should not be dutiable. It was\nused largely by the orchardists nnd\nwas part of their raw material.\" To\nretain the duty was a direct tax on\nfarming..\nMr. Chute explained -at length the\nsystem of co-operation in vogue In the\nAnnapolis valley. He pointed out that\nIt | outs nut all unnecessary expenditure and gives both producer and consumer full value, Local companies are\nformed consisting of 40 to 80 members\nall of whom bring In the total of their\nproduct to he packed. The central\noffice of the co-operative association\nmakes all sales. \u25a0 Alt'apples are packed\nin packing houses, there being two and\nsometimes three grades. He thought\nno third grade should be exported.\nThis year the average prices for Orav-\nonstelns Were: No. 1, |2.f>7; No, 2,\n$1.73; No. 3, 80c' The men who grew\nNo. 3 grade lost monoy this year, for\nIt cost just as much to pick nnd pack\nthem as No. 1 grade. The conditional\nlast year were as bad as he had ever\nknown, but. men who sprayed last year\nhad the best apples. .The association\nsent a man to England this year and\ngot fine results. There was a mnrket\nIn England for No. 3 grade apples, he\nsaid, biit they were not branded,\n'The actual cost of raising a barrel\napples Is IV said Mr. Chute In\nanswer to a question. , \"Therefore,'\nselling No. 3 grade: nt 80c-Is a direct,\nloss to the farmer. It Is an argument\nIn favor of spraying.\"\nHe thought Nova Scotia farmers\nwore getting a fair price fotf their\napples, hut In comparison with what\nthe farmers received the cohsutners.\nwere paying an enormous price.\n'We sometimes wish that we had a\nshare' of the larger price,\" he added.\nEven with the co-operative methods\nthere werp still two middlemen through\nwhoBe hands the fruit j passed.     He\nthought the western .Canada market\nwab the best, though the British mar-1\nk-:t was also good. The freight-on the-\napple.-* from Nova Scotia to Winnipeg\nwas $1.24 a barrel as against 90c to\nEngland. To Edmonton the rate' was\n$2.04. Thus the association laid its\napples down ln Winnipeg for $3.24, The\nwest was demanding fruit In boxes, but\nin England barrels were wanted. -In\n1911 there was no competition in Winnipeg except from Ontario apples, but\nthis year there was severe competition\nfrom American fruit, sold ut 70c a box1\nf. o. b. shipping point.\nMr. Chute said only about three per\ncent of Nova Scotia apples went west,\n80 per cent went to England. Two\nyears ago 200,000 barrels went to Germany and It was a most satisfactory\ntrade. Apples were sent from Nova\nScotia over to South Africa. But in\nthe end, he thought, the western market would be the greatest market of,\ntha future.      '\nThe shipping time to the west had\nbeen shortened this year, some'of it\ngoing In five to seven days aa compared with seven to 14 days last year.\nMr, Chute said ordinary apple pickers were paid $1.60 a day,\n(Barrels cost 25c to 28c each; province barrels cost 4Bc each.\n\"'Why, I- bought barrels In Ontario\nand brought in coopers and made up\nbarrels for 40c,\" said Mr. Chute.\nIn answer to a question Mr. Chute\nsalt} he would deliver apples\/this year'\nat the shipping point at $2 n barrel.\nKings brought a better price than'\nSpys, He said that scarcely any apples were shipped from Nova Scotia\nto the New Englnnd market.\ni'They hnve a surplus'of apples themselves,\" he said.\n,The wet weather brought all kinds of\nfungi; nevertheless,' men who sprayad\ndid wolf. He Instance J one grower\nwhose tree run of 700 barrels gave 500\nbarrels of No. l grade.\nCheap wages, young nrch-i-ds nnd a\nInw rate to the steamship, 176 a barret, were advantages the Nova Scotia\ngrowers have over Ontario growers,\naccording to Mr. Chute. i-ie complnln-\ne-1 that ;NoVa '\u2022Scotia shippers could\nnever get refrigerator cars. The Canadian Pacific railway always snld tr.\ndid not have them. In the past the\nNova Scotia barrel had been 180\npounds of fruit, but he thought there\nshould be uniformity of grades .and\nbarrels. i\nA vote of thanks-to' Mr. Chute W'isi\nmoved by Dr. Schnffner nnd seconded\nby C. J, Thornton. -        *   I\npromises, he had* made when he was\nleader of the opposition. The admiralty had been cohsulte'd, and' on th)e\nadvice received lt had been decided\nthat Canada, should- do her share to\ncontribute'to the defence of tho empire.\nThere was no reason why the question\nshould be submitted to the people.\nThen; came the voting with the. result\nrecorded.\nAs Boon- as the (figures for the second\ndivision were annouriced, Mr. Mondou\nproposed his amendment and spoke in\nsupport of it until after midnight, The\namendment was W follows:\n\"This house, while prepared to adopt\nprotective measures for the territory\nof Canada, declines to concur in the\nsaid resolution because it contains provisions tending to impose upon Canada who has no voice in imperial affairs, a share in the oxternal responsibilities and naval defence of the ent*\nplrc outside Canadian territory, the\nonly portion of the empire In which th\u00ab\nCanadian people\/ have constitutional\nauthority.\"\nWhen Mr. Mondou had finished Sir\nWilfrid' took exception to the amendment. He said that It was not a proper amendment, but ,a motion to negative the proposed resolution.\nSpeaker Sproule was Inclined to\nagree. He Bald-the proposed amendment was at variance with the principle of the main, motion and was designed to replace It. He ruled it out\nof order.\nMr. Gullbault Of Jollette then proposed a fourth a^endrflent as follows:\n\"This house does npt how concur in\nthe resolution, but declares that the\npresent resolution be referred back to\nthe committee of the whole with instructions that ItJ be amended by the\ninclusion of provisions annulling and\nabrogating the law sanctioned by his\nexcellency the. ^governor-general In\nMay, 1910, arid entitled'An act respecting the naval serVlcg'of Canada,' and\nof stipulations tha-t the present resolution shall not became effective until\nafter a majority of the people has by\nplebiscite given Its approval thereto.\"\nThis was ruled;,out of order by the\nspeaker because It referred to a statute\non the statute books of the Dominion.\nThe hialn' resolution was then adopted on a vote of 115-83, a government\nmajority of 32,\n* The following seven Nationalists\nbolted arid voted with the opposition\nagainst the government: Gullbault, Jollette; Barrette, Bethler; Lamarche,\nNicolet; Achim, Labellc; Mondou, Yamaska; 'Boulay, RimouskI; and Belle-\nmare, Maskinonge.\nCol.

C, Feb. 13f\u2014The.explanation and elaboration of the four\nmeasures crystallizing the extended\nrailway policy of the government now\nbefore the house occupied almost two\nhours of yesterday's sitting of tho legislature the prime minister'giving a\nmost comprehensive outline of the necessity for any expected result of thu\nnew legislation. In rising to move tho\nsecond reading of bill No. 30, which\nprovides for a provincial guarantee of\n*10-000,000 of terminal' bonds of the\nCanadian Northern Pacific railway,\nthe premier said that he need hardly\nexplain to the houae that this l-J\nenactment which the government of\nthe day feels every justification for in\norder-that lt may carry out to the full-\nebt extent the railway policy of a few\nyears a^o confirmed by thG electorate\nof the country and which has done &o\nmuch for the development ot uie province within that period of time. There\nwere many who said that the project\nto build the line through the Thompson and Fraser valleys In face of th\nexperiences of the Canadian Pacific\nwas almost a foolish one. Tho-je who\nhad lived here in the time of tho Canadian Pacific and had noted the difficulties of construction felt that the advance of the Canadian Northern engineers wero too ambitious. \"Is it not,\nthen, most gratifying,\" Premier McBride continued, \"that today from my\nplace here In ihe legislature 1 can officially say the Canadian Northern Pacific between New Westminster ami\nKatnloops Is over 80 per cent, completed, steel has been iald aa far as Port\nYale und with the completion of one\nblock It may be completed to Slsco ru\nthe vicinity of the cantilever bridge\nover the Fraser at that point and between Slsco and Kamloops the work in\nconnection with the six or seven\nbridges is well under way, and before\nhigh water mark of 1013 It will\ncompleted, and unless sonic unto\\V-ird\ncircumstances arise steel m tho Canadian Northern may be laid right f\"jtn\nthe coast into KamloopH.

The\npeople of British Columbia have a first\nmortgage on the railway lines, and\nwhen the terminals are completed at\nVancouver, Port Mann, New Westminster and Victoria they will have a firs*\nmortgage on them as well. The terminals were not Included in the first\nbill because it was impossible\nto forecast at thnt time tlie nature\nand extent these works would be. It\nIs interesting for me to he able to inform the house this afternoon that the\noriginal guarantee Involved an expenditure of *21,OOQ,000 for the first1\" 600\nmiles of the railway and to be able to\nsay that the expenditure In connection\nwith the mileage of the road to date\nhas been $2-1,000,000, and that the company hns expended $10,000,000 moro\nthan received from the sale of Its\nbonds raised because of the provincial\nguarantee.

C\u201e the new town-\nsite adjacent to Prince Rupert, which\nhas been planned and laid out by expert engineers as an Industrial annex\nto the Grand Trunk Pacific terminus,\nsupplying the industrial sites and facilities which Prince Rupert will be\nunable to afford to the extent that\nwill bo required, is making a strong\nbid for the industrial business of the\nnorth Pacific coast of Canada. - The\nnew townslte has a host of advan\ntages in Its favor topographically and\nsuch excessive care has been devoted\nto the platting of the townsite and\nharbor that those who have been over\ntlu ground and who have seen the\nplans declare that Port Edward will\nbe remarkably well equipped to compete In the coast business of the future.\nPort Edward will, besides its ad-\nvantages of a fine natural townslte\nant1, an harbor lhat admits of the\nbuilding of pier wharves with a total\ndockage capacity of no less than 16,960\nfeet and that will accommodate, without dredging or any other treatment,\nth-< largest vessel afloat, offer abund-\nance of cheap power and water and\ncomparatively low taxation.\nAs far as power Is concerned the\nPrince Rupert Hydro-Electric company, which could have found accom\nmodutlon at Prince Rupert but which\ncame to the conclusion that Port Edward would be the Industrial centre,\nis now Duttlng in a Deisel oil engine\nplant at a cost, approximately, of\n$185,000. This Is only temporary and\nwill be replaced by a large water\npower plant as soon as the company\nis able to bring it Into action.\nTransportation, as far as Port Edward is concerned,' will be very good\nright from the start. Boat and rail\nservice will connect the townsite with\nthe outside markets and also with\nPrince Rupert, thc future great city\nwhich Port Edward will serve. These\nmeans of transportation will be sup\nplemented at once by a governmejjt\nroad which Is already surveyed and\non which work will be started In the\nspring. Later, when the traffic warrants It, electric cars will be added.\nThe sources of raw materials are\nciose to Port Edward. Timber is olen-\ntitu] and include such woods as hemlock, spruce, both red and yellow\ncedar, fir and excellent pulp woods.\nThere is an excellent yellow cedar\navailable at a very short distance from\ntie townslte which is particularly well\nadapted to the manufacture of furniture and for building boats which will\nbe much in demand as a result of the\ndevelopment of the tremendously valuable fisheries. Within 30 miles there\nIs excellent material for the manufacture of cement. This has been assayed and is known to be high grade.\nThere Is a heavy denosit of granite\nwithin 18 miles and also sand, gravel\nand lime, within a short distance.\nMinerals, which arc abundant, includ'i\ngold; silver, copper and coal.\nMention has been made of the fishing ' dustry. Very few people ot Canada realize a tithe of what this industry will mean in Northern British Co-\nlumbla. Sir Oeorge Doughty, of\nOrimsby, England, who Is an authority\nof high standing in matters relative\nlo the fishing industry and who is already establishing a great plant to\nencage in the northern British Columbia fisheries, has stated that If the\nfishing grounds adjacent to Port Edward and Prince Runert are properly\nhandled, the industry will afford work\nfoi a population of 100,000 people.\n\"Whale, herring, salmon, halibut, cod,\npi-awns, crabs and clams are present In\nenormous numbers. An official of Importance connected with the Grand\nTrunk Pacific has stated privately\nthat that road has practically decided\nto run a halibut train to the eastern\nUnited Slates and eastern Canadian\nmarkets, being convinced of the fact\nthat British Columbia halibut can\ncompete very successfully with halibut\nfrom other sources.\nThe fishing grounds alone, at the\ndoors of Port Edward, will insure a\ngreat industry to that Industrial centre.\nThe markets open to Port Edward\nIndustries will be almost boundless.\nImmediately back of that point; and\nof Prince Rupert, lies a country that\nwill form an empire in Itself. Here\nwill be developed a great market for\ntimber, furniture, fish and, in fact for\n.n.ythlng that Can be manufactured at\nPort Edward or Prince Rupert. The\nQueen Charlotte Islands, not far from\nPert Edward, arc developing rapidly\nand will contribute much to the prosperity of that town and of Prince Rupert. Moreover, the entire country\ntributary to Port Edward and Prince\nRupert north and south, and also Alaska and the Yukon, will bo supplied\nfrom the Grand Trunk Pacific terminus and its industrial annex, Port Edward- The northern trade can be syp-\npl.ed from the points just mentioned\nsome two days quicker than from Van-\n--ouver and other southern ports. This\nwill undoubtedly be the menns of attracting large bonded warehouses from\nthc United States as well as general\ndlFlrlhutlng warehouses as centres for\neastern Canadian manufactures,\nMore and more grain Is being used\nlu the Orient every year. China is only\nawakening to a realization of her possibilities. Japan Is progressing every\nyear, Grain and herring from Portt\nEdward will find an Infinite market\nin the Orient because the, route from\nthat nart to Oriental ports is shorter\n\u25a0\u2022y manv miles than the routes even\nfrom V--\"Couver.\nPdrt Edward Is nearly 100 per cent\nefficient as an industrial townsite because Its founders saw what was\nwanted nnd, using tho excellent materials lhat nature afforded them at\nPort Edward, they laid out their work\naccordingly.\nBearing in mind the enormous oro*\nfftn that early Investors In Prince Ru\nperl, lots have made already, lt wl'\nb*t very Interesting to watch the first\npurchasers at Port Edward.

No secret is\nmado of the fact that the bill Is designed to check German exploits of\nthis kind, For several months past\nat Intervals there have been reports\nnf mysterious flights of airships over\none or another parts of the country\nnnd the introduction of the measure\n'.onpled with the governmental request\nt.-\u00bb the opposition not to delay Its pro-\ngre-Js through parliament Is taken to\nmr-an that the government has waked\nto the fact that foreign airships have\nactually flown .over English territory,\nCol. Seeley, minister of war, introduced the bill last Friday afternoon.\nIt prohibits tho passage of air craft\nover certain areas or lf the government deems It necessary, over the\nwhole const lino of the United Kingdom and adjacent' territorial waters.\nIf nny aerial vessel infringes this law\nnropur officers shall be entitled, after\ngiving a prescribed warning signal, to\nflro nt or into any such air craft and\nuse nny and every other means' to\nprevent nn Infraction of the law.\nThis bill will become .law before\nninny days, having passed Its second\nreading on Monday, Its- remaining\n-\"tages In the commons Were passed In\na single session on Tuesday. The bill\nwill be taken to the lordB early next\nweek.   There was practically no debate\nIn the commons. The proceedings\ntrok place after midnight In the session of both Monday and Tuesdty, On\nit.-, second reading Col. Seeley said:\n\"I would point out to the house that\nthis bill Is not aimed at air cr.-fi of\nany foreign power hut rather at preventing mischievous persons, possibly\nfr.-m oversea hovering over piaces\nwhere there are combustible stores,'\nto the great Inconvenience -if i';e people of this country.\"\nPapers like the Dally MUil scoff at\nsuch a suggestion and dcclnre that the\nurgency given the\\ measure is due to\nfrequent reports of the appearance of\nunknown airships over various parts of\nEngland. The London Times yester \u2022\nday had an editorial stating that the\nvisits of the foreign airships were be-\ncoming unpleasantly frequent .'They\nhave a way of appearing over our\nperts JuBt after nightfall or before\ndawn coming no one knows whence,\nnnd going nobody knows where. II\nwould seem either they have a prediction for following our coastline or\nthey pnss unnoticed possibly at a\ngreater height, . across our territory.\nDuring the last four or five months\nthey have been seen over Shcemea-j,\nPortsmouth, Dover, Liverpool and on\ntwo occasions over Cardiff. Thr-ir\ncourse has never been traced. Thev\nhover at a given spot and then dlatp-'\npear. These'circumstances not only\ngives a surreptitious air nhout their\nvisits but raises the unple-is-.ijt suspl-\neipn that their visits may be more\nfreuuent than wo know. It Is an Intrusion which ,wc have a rlpht to resent. Its motives are not _ likely to\nbj friendly nor enn. we flatter ourselves that the beauty of a blrdseye\nview of our ports Is so great as to lead\nforeigners to spend so much money to\nderive aesthetic gratification from it,\"\nCol, Seeley'In the commons yesterday, replying to a question, said Germany possessed five military airships\nof a rigid typp and large size, capable\nof being safely used at night anil of\ncurrying and discharging quantities of\nhigh explosives on  to  British  dock,**\nN.

ANDREW, Prop.\nHOUSE SUSTAINS r\nH NAVAL POLICY\ns (Continued from page one.)\nwas absurd to say that a policy of a\nCanadian navy is a separatist policy\nln view of the fact that tho British\nborn people of Australia had decided\nin favor of a navy of their own and\nagainst contribution. Ho was certain\nthat the member from' Brantford, Mr.\nCockshutt, would never have declared\nthe Laurier policy a separatist policy\nIE his manufacturing friends were\nable to produce even tbe semblance\nol a warship. Dr. Warner expressed\ntlie view that the visit of Premier Borden to England last summer has re\nsuited in a good deul of harm, Hitherto Canada has been paraded as the\ngood child of the empire, but now, as\na result of the developments In -con\nnet-tion with the food tax proposals,\nCanadians are being told by certain\nBritish'journals that they are too' precocious. Canadians are now being lectured instead of praised.\nThe naval emergency, Dr, Warner\nsold, was a myth. Mr, Poster In his\nspeech - admitted that the admiralty\nmemorandum does not establish ono\nand fell back on alleged confidential\nInformation received by the \"premier\nAs a British subject he opposed tho\ncontribution of the three dreadnoughts\nbeca'use It would add to the burden of\nthc British taxpayers. Dr. Warner\nsaid the people of the west were not\nas keenly Interested In the government's naval policy as In tho Question\nof wider markets. He closed with .a\ndemand that the -nvernment should\npass a redistribution bill and submit\nthe naval question to the country.\nSir Wilfrid 8peaki\nAfter tlie conclusion of Dr, Warner's\nspeech Sir Wilfrid Laurier rose to\nspeak to the Vervllle amendment, and\nwas received with cheers by his followers. He said that an agreement had\nbeen arrived at to divide .on the government's proposal tonight and It\nwould not be departed from,\nwould not huve risen ugaln but for\nthe amendment which had been moved\nby -\".he member from Malsonneuve and\nhe did not propose to discuss anything\napart from that. Sir Wilfrid then said\nthat he had listened to the speech\nmade by Mr. Lamarche, the member\nfor Nicolet, In the afternoon and un-,\ndcrsiaod him to take the view that the\nVerville amendment would applv to\nHis own amendment calling for a Canadian navy and not to the proposals of\ntllfi government.\nObviously that was not the case. The\nVervllle amendment applied to both\nproposals. In his opinion lt was a\nproposal which the government could\nnot In vlow of pledges made by tho\npremier before the. election, well reject now. The quostlon of the Canadian navy, he went on to say, was\nas old as confederation. It was first\nmentioned In the militia act introduced by Cartler In 1868. Then lt was\ntaken up In a concrete form at the\nImperial conference of 1902. On that\noccasion the Canadian' ministers had\nsubmitted a memorandum In which\nthey, undertook the task of undertaking tho problem of the naval defence\nof the Dominion and expressed the\nhope that they would be able to build\nui) In Canada an efficient naval re-\n\"^fl^l\nThe Broadest, Most Comprehensive White Event We've\nHeld in Years, Providing Superior Qualities, Extensive\nAssortments and Very Unusual Values  . *\nWe begin this Important White event after weeks of careful thought, planning and painstaking preparations and with tho determination to make it a\nWHITE EVENT EXTRAORDINARY, we realized early, the tremendous task confronting us, and obstacles to be overcome, before we oould hope\nto surpass tho splendid records att? ined by our former \"White Wear events.

This proposal had been before\nthe peoplo for 10 years and he was\n\u25a0no- aware that ihe principle it involved had ever been challenged by\nanyone. It was put into concrete -form\nby the adoption by parliament of the\n.retvolutlon of March, 1909. It. had not\noccurred to anyone that an Ideal so\nlong before the public would need to\nbo submitted to the people. After tbe\nadoption of that resolution, however,\nthe Conservatives as a- matter of nartv\npolicy .decided to depart from it. .They\nexperienced a change of heart and de-\nclitedT that the proposal of tho lute\ngovernment to build a navy should bo\nreferred to the people. It would be\nremembered, however, that Mr. Borden\nhad expressed more than one opinion\non the subject. Before parliament and\nthe people he had pledged himself that\nany proposal In regard to the naval\ndefence should be submitted to the\npeople. When tho proposal of thc late\n\u25a0government was being considered Mr.\nMonk moved that the Canadian naval\nplan, as well as the general question\nni.udlng that of contribution should\nb3 submitted to the people. Mr. Borden moved a substitute amendment\nlimiting the matter to the Canadian\nnaval proposal, but when that was defeated the Conservatives supported the\nproposal of Mr. Monk. From this Sir\nWilfrid proceeded to draw the conclusion that when the last general elec-\nUons were held Mr. Borden was pledg-,\ned to consult the Canadian people not\nonly In regard to the question of thu\nnavy, but in regard to the question of\na contribution.\nPremier Replies\nPremier Borden was received with\nenthusiasm when he rose to reply.\nThe house, he said, was indebted tithe leader of the opposition for his\nlecture on the desirabllit\" of public\nmen fulfilling their pledges. It was\nnartlcularly interesting In view of hie\nown record between 1S87 and 1011. Sir\nWilfrid, it would appear, seemed disposed in this Instance to accept the\nleadership of the member for Malson-\nneuve. He was prepared to declare\nthat the amendment whicli ho had\nsubmitted was not the proper one, but\nshould have Included the proposal\nmado by Mr. VervH.e, He had once\nmore retired behind the lines of Torres Vedrus. Ho would remind tho\nleader of tho opposition that In the\nvery Bhapo In which he bad proposed\ntht- amendment to which Sir Wilfrid\nhad referred he bad stated that the\nConservative policy would be the policy which had recently been submitted\nto the house. He had declared on that\noccasion that if tho Conservatives\ncame Into power they would consult\ntho admiralty. If the admiralty ox-\npressed tho view that thore exists an\nemergency they would come to i-ar-\nlinmont and ask that Canada should\ndo her fair share. The government was\nnot, .n view uf this, In any way pledged\ntj seek the mandate of the people. He\nwculd also remind thc leader of tho\nopposition! that when he (Sir Wilfrid)\nwus pressing a permanent policy of a\nCanadian navy -Mr. Monk wanted to\nrefer the question to the people but\nha had declined to do so. He --alii there\nwas .no need to adopt such a course,\nHe ventures that the Conservatives\nShould support something that be did\nnut approve of in tho past. \"I will\ntell my honorable friend,\" declared\nMr, Borden, \"that we do not propose\ntJ do anything of tho kind.\"\nMr. Borden went on to say that on\nFeb. 3, 1910, he hud moved a resolu\ntion declaring that a proposal of Unkind submitted to the house should\nno'' be submitted to the people. The\nproposal, now submitted was In exact\naccordance with that resolution.\n\"Wo believe,\" he said, \"that the ox-\nucr-.diture of this sum in accordance\nwith the facts and the wishes of the\nadmiralty Is a step which the people of\nCanada arc called upon to take as a\ntoken of our self-respect and as a\nguarantee that tho ties which bind us\nto tho empire shall not be broken.\"\nMembers nf the opposition, auld Mr.\nBorden, were in favor of a navy which\nas ho understood it, was to be built\nIn Canada. Later on, In the course of\nconsideration he would submit some\nfacts which would demonstrate what\nthe construction of ships  In Canada\nwould mean jn the way of cost and deity. No one would doily to Canadians\nthe courage and the right to tnke ->arti\nIn the battles of the empire, but it was\nto bo remembered that in a new country like this it was a different mat;\nter to attract people to a navy. The\nLiberals would do nothing until tha\n.ships had been built and tho men\ntrained. They were not Inspired with\na true desire to do something In a time\nof emergency. The proposal of the\ngovernment was not to hand over\n1*5.000,000. The money would bo spent\nby the government by the best expert\nadvice the admiralty could give. The\nships would not pass away from the\nownership of Canada. If later on\nCanada had a navy of its own, the\nships would be subject to recall, bur\nthey would not be taken from any\ntheatre of Imperial danger without due\nnotice being given to the Imperial government.\n\"We do not believe It to he the der\nBiro of the Canadian people to have'\nthis question submitted to thorn,\" declared Mr. Borden. \"The question\nwns pronounced upon on Sept, 21,\n1911.\"\nThe Vervllle sub-amend ment and\nthe Laurier amendments were then re*\nJected on votes of 122-75, a government majority of 37. Col. McLean oi\nQueen's Suhbury, Libera], voted -with\ntho government.

Water travels\ndown the arm at a speed of probably\none mile per hour or thereabouts. Thai\nmeans that it is only a matter of some\n20 hours before tho Ice Is weakened.\nI have frequently observed that Ice\nwhich one day Is* sufflclntly thick tc\ncarry a team of horses is 3G hours late''\nnot more than half an Inch in thickness.\n\"1 mention this,\" reriiarked Mr. Lean.\n\"aa a warning to skating enthusiasts\nand to ranchers on the west arm win.\nare making: a practice of crossing or\nthe ice.
