Mr. Bor-\nik described it as a tirae of rest and\nitiperatlon for renewed effort, tho\ndude to still greater development in\n, future. Tli\u00a9 premier also ex-\n\u2022isaed his sympathy' with tho idea\ndemocracy which was developing\nii both sides of the Atlantic and in\nij'stralia, the idea of giving to all\npeople equality of opportunity so\nns is humanly possible.

The finance minister, who had spent\n'busy day, addressing the Canadian\ni-ib, going over the harbor works, and\n'\u25a0pectins the activities of McGill unl-\nrsity, went a little further than the\nlt*3tnier in his reference to the flnan-\nm stringency.

Including many prominent figures In official life. The house adjourned until 12:30 tomorrow, when\nthe leaders hope to put through a resolution for a recess until January 12.\nGenerally speaking, tho first steps\nto he taken to bring into operation\nthe nation's new financial system will\nbo through an organization .committee,,\nconsisting of the secretary of tlio\ntreasury, the secretary cf agriculture\nand the comptroller of currency.\nBanks have 00 days within which to\nfile their applications for membership\nin tho new system, and one year Is\nallowed before the government wilt\ncompel the dissolution of any national\nhank that refuses to join.\nTho new law will make little change\nfn the operation of the present National banks, except to allow them\nto loan a certain amount of their funds\nupon farm mortgages.\nIts chief purpose is to add a new\npiece of machinery to the bunking\nsystem that will give the hanks a\nchance to quickly convert their assets into cash in time of need, and\nthat will bring out new federal currency when It is needed and retire\nIt when money becomes cheap.\nBanks are now required to keep a\ncertain percentage of their deposits\nas \"reserves,\" part in cash In tlieir\nown vaults and part which may be re-\ndeposited in the banks of New York,\nChicago, St. Louis and other designated cities. In times of sudden financial demands, when banks have\nloaned up to the full limit of their\nreserves, these reserves furnish little\nrelief, because If they are paid out\nto meet demands tho banks are left\nin a precarious condition. The basic\nprinciple of the new law is to get\nthese reserve funds out into circulation when necessary, without lessening the safety of any bank and to\nprovide a place to whicli local banks\nmay rush In (*, crisis and get cash for\nthe \"prime mercantile paper\" they\nhold in their vaults.\nThis is to be accomplished through\nregional reserve hanks or \"reservoir of\nfunds\" In which all regional banks\nshall deposit a stated part of the\nmoney they nre required to hold as\nreserves. Under the new system,\nwhen a financial flurry coineB, the\nbanks can tale commercial paper\nsuch as notes, drafts and bills of ex\nchange, to these \"reservoirs,\" and secure tlu use of their own reserves, or,\nif necessary, even the reserve of oth\ner banks, hy depositing this security\nThe new regional banks will receive\nabout one-half of th0 bank reserves\nof the country. They, In turn, will be\nI permitted to loan back to the bank;;\n| all but 35 per cent of the reserves,\nso that in case of emergency millions\nof cash can be brought out into circulation.\nThe banks will hnv\u00a9 to pay for these\nloans, however, as Individuals have\nto pay for a loan from any local bnnk;\nand this is to prevent the too frequent use of the reserves held by regional banks. A new form of paper\ncurrency is also provided for, to come\nout In ense of emergency, and which\nwas expected to go back Into the\nhands of the government when times\naro normal. The \"treasury notes\" will\nhe printed by the government and Issued through each regional roserve\nbank and will bear the guarantee both\nj of the regional hank and the government.\nIf tho demand for currency in any\nsection of the country exceeds the\nsupply of circulating money, a regional bank can secure this new money\nfrom tho government and put it into\ncirculation, but a gold reserve ot 40\nper cent nnd commercial paper equal\nto tho full value of thD notes must\nbe held as a reserve.\nII TO\nEl OF m\nTHE DAILY N-EW8-,' a --mjj-m\n T~ . . ml OF THE CITY\nla read everywhere In 8outh*QN\nMstern British Columbia (Kootr\nn*y and Boundary District) no. 257 i\nthe day of publication.,\n\u2014r Tr-...\u00ab \u2014 i m '\u25a0'\u25a0'\u25a0_ the sum of $30,000.00\n, payment of tha out-\n.litis* of The Nelion\nlay Company, Limited,\nmaintenance, operation,\n=*-ie*i if the undertaking of\nit-0 otreet Railway ConrH\n.\u2022ted.\nPresident's Device to Stop\nRun on Banks\nGOLD AND SILVER\nARE DISAPPEARING\nChildren Driven Into\nand Shot in\nSacks,\nWater\nFIRE DESTROYS\nBUSINESS CENTRE\nTwenty Persons Killed\u2014ScoreB Rendered Homeless by Fire at\nGeorgetown. e\n{By Dally News Lensed Wire.)\nGEORGETOWN, ' Hritish Guiana,\nDec. 22.\u2014A section of the businesB\nquarter of Georgetown, which is known\nalso aB Dememarn, was destroyed'by\nfh*e this morning.

The Grampian, arriving on\nChristmas day, and the Scandinavian,\nabout Saturday, will hnve a small\namount of delayed mail.\nThe heavy British malls are accounted for, of course, by the largely\nIncreased Immigration during recent\nyears, and the fact that parcels post\nrates between the old country and\nCanada are at present much cheaper\nrelatively than rates in Canada. Then\ntoo, the people at homo in the old land\nfeel It a duty to cheer and comfort\nthoso who have gone so far away.\nWheu tlie Britain arrived on Saturday\ntwo special trains carried the mail to\nMontreal.

It is reasonably certain, however, that the bank will continue to avail itself of the decree of\nPresident Huerta, issued today, making the last 10 days of the present\nyear legal holidays.\nThe Bank of London & Mexico was\ncrowded to capacity at the closing\nhour of business today with men who\nwere trying to withdraw their deposits.\nThe amounts paid depositors were\nlimited to 200 pesos and no assur\nances were given that even that would\nhe given out in the future. The approximate amount withdrawn from thc\nbank since depositors began demanding their money several days ago Is\nsaid to exceed 17,000,000 pesos. Of\nthis amount 14,000,000 pesos ($7,000,\n000) was withdrawn since last Tuesday. The bank has, In tho various\nstates, 12 branches, four of which\nwero closed some time ago on account\nof local conditions, These are at\nMonterey, Torreon, Mazatlan and Du-\nrango.

Tho decree recited that It\nv.iij tasued in accordance with this\nextraordinary power and that Hip holidays were decreed on account of the\ndifficult circumstances in which the\ncountry finds itself and In order to\ngive sufficient time for the alarm\nwhich has been created among the\npuhllc to subside and prevent the\ncrisis from becoming general,\nThe decree guarantees to tlie clearing house and all banks throughout\nt.-e republic the right to suspend business until January 2. to which date\nthey shall not consider themselves\ncompelled to meet, their obligations,\nThe members of tlie clearing house\ndecided tonight not to lake advantage\nof the holiday, but. to continue to accept bank notes in payment.\nThe affairs of the Bank of London\nwere also discussed by tho clearing\nhouse members and a group of bankers conferred again with the sub-\nsecretary or finance. The clearing\nhouse enquiry developed that the\nbank has in its vaults 12,000,000 pesos\nin coin and 2,000,000 pesos in notes,\nThe members of the bank have all\nalong insisted ou the bank's solvency\nand have explained that Us inability\nto pay depositors was due merely to\nthe shortage of the currency.\nCold has been hoarded for a lonti\ntime and silver of late has been disappearing. Both metals hnve been\nexported In large quantities, notwithstanding the law against this practice.\nThe failure of the Bank of London\n& Mexico to meet the demands for\npayment promptly is regarded as serious, since this hank and the National\nbank are the only banks of Issue ex\ncept tlie state banks, whose bills are\nno longer received ln the capital.

II. Phillimore. There were\nBO members of the Nakusp church\npresent, the tables being prettily dec-\norat '. and laden witli the delicacies\nof the season. F. W.

He then presented Mr\nPhillimore with a handsome travelling\nbag, with sterling sliver fittings, donated by the members.\nMr. Pliillimoi'e in reply thanked the\nmembers for their evidence of esteem\nund went over tlie ground of his experience iu British Columbia, and especially In this parish. Ou his arrival\nihe lieadiiuaiters were at Arrowhead,\nhut he quickly recognized the importance of Nakusp as a central point\nfrom whicli to work tho parish lo best\nadvantage. In this opinion he was\nseconded by the Nakusp members,\nwho gave liliu every inducement and\nencouragement, and acquired the approval of tho Arrowhead members,\nwlio conceded with this view. He never regretted that step, for he had\nfound Nakusp an excellent centre to\nwork from. He eulogized tlie church\nworkers for their help and sound advice at all times, the Woman's auxiliary for their practical help in financing any Dew movement, the new organ, vlgarage fund and other acquirements. He had come with set plans,\nwhich, however, he found had to b<*\nmodified somewhat, for tlie methods\nand conditions In this country were\ndifferent, and he Inul found that he\nhad accomplished more by falling in\nWith these, new conditions. He referred to tlie Arrow Park and Edge-\nwood churches, erected with the aid\nof members and friends in England.\nHe had gained a large amount of experience and he was now returning\nto England to'take up work in the\ndiocese of Hull, and would always\nlook back with love and pleasure to\nBritish Columbia, where the possibilities were so great and opportunities\nso immense, and ho certainly hoped to\nvisit the country again, if not to take\nup active work.\nSongs were then given by Messrs.\nJordan, Lavelle, McPherson, Mayoh.\nNorth, Heathcote and Leary.

His currency reform bill has\nbecome law. The details of that\nmeasure are not such that the ordinary layman can of his own knowledge express an intelligent opinion on\nthe wisdom of the policy which has\nbeen adopted, nor predict with any\ncertainty how efficacious may prove\nthe remedy which the president is applying to the country's monetary system In order to give it a greater\nmeasure of stability and safety.\nPresident Wilson and his experts,\nhowever, have worked out the problem to their own satisfaction and have\nhave placed the result of their efforts\non the country's statute books. The\nunderlying Idea appears to be cooperation between the national government and the banks with a view\nto strengthening the banking system\nof the country.\nThe measure which was adopted by\ncongress yesterday is altogether an\nexperiment. Time alone can tell how\nit will turn out. But In the meantime President Wilson can congratulate himself that another of his ideas\nis to be carried into effect. He has\nagafn shown himself to be master of\nthe administration\u2014head of the government of the United States in fact\nas well as fn name.\nA SWEET PRODUCTION.\nIn Montreal u theatrical production\nIs now on the stage which ridicules\nthe King and the Prince of Wales,\nthe King being depicted as a weak-\nkneed Individual who habitually In\ndulges in ridicule of his high position,\nwhile the Prince of Wales is represented as an unqualified \"sissy,\" says\nthe Ottawa Journal in describing an\natrocious production recently staged\nin Montreal. The antics of the pair\nare supposed to cause amusement\nthroughout the play. However, at the\nfinish the King is represented as\nspurning the offer of a check for\n$35,000,000 from the Hon. Mr. Borden,\nand pointing out the justice of Sir\nWilfrid Laurier's claim that the check\nis not endorsed by the Canadian public. It is a certainty that no decent\nCanadian, either Liberal or Conservative, countenances such a display of\nheaply vulgar sarcasm nor that any\nCanadian with a fair mind, whether\nhe he of one party or the other, would\nfeel anything but disgust should he\nsee the play. But there are some who\nare prepared to allow such an exhibition to influence them; people who\nare either rabidly anti-British or who\nare prepared to laugh at any sally\nagainst royalty, The latter have a\nright to their opinions. The former\nhavo no right to have them pandered\nto in a British country.\ni i\nL WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING I\nArthur Needs the Exercise\nArthur Hawkes may run in every\nby-election before the general elections.

This matter was taken up\nlast year, but as a result of tbe season's operations in the soft fruit business it is felt to lie more urgent now\nthan ever. A large quantity of the\npeaches shipped from this district did\nnot 'hold up well in transit, and it Is\nId that the lake haul on a, hot\nsteamer and the transhipping at\nOkanagan Landing and Sicamous,\nwith the consequent rough handling,\nhave had a great deal to do with it.\nMi*. W. It. Meg&w, of Vernon, head of\nW. R. Megaw departmental stores,\nstated that any -one who had seen the\nway fruit was 'handled at Okanagan\nLanding during (lie past season could\neasily (understand how necessary' i-'\nwaa that the link between Proctor and\nKootenay Landing should be built, so\nthat tlie peach growers c-f Hie southern end of the Okanagan could ship\ntheir fruit direct |.o [the prairies by\nexpress without any transferring,\nIt is probable that the matter will\nbe brought up at tbe annual convention of the Hritish Columbia Fruit\nGrowers' association In Victoria next\nmonth.\nAlthough It wns at first opposed by\nhe delegates of the Vernon board Of\ntrade, their opposition was subsequently withdrawn, and tbo resolution of tho Penticton board of trade\nasking for a royal commission to investigate the alleged combine among\nfruit dealers and) marketing icondi-\nlilpns in the prairie provinces was endorsed by the Associated Boards of\nTrade at their annual meeting in\nArmstrong a few days ago. It is proposed to also lake the matter up at\ntbe annual meeting of the British\nFruit Growers' association at Victoria\nnext month.\nThe Penticton delegates mentioned\nthat their board had received overtures from prominent points in Saskatchewan, asking that they do what\nthey could to secure the appointment\nof the proposed royal commission.\nThe Kettle Valley Railway company\nhave decided to start a demonstration\nfarm on thc west fork of lhe Kettle\nriver, a short distance north of Carmi.\nThe land has been (purchased from the\nCanadian Pacific railway and it Is\nunderstood tbat they propose to conduct a general stock farm.

C.\nChristmas\nCards\n(By Daily News Leased Wire.)\nWASHINGTON, Dec. 22.\u2014Govern,\nment ownership of the nation's telephone lines would cost less than {900,-\n000,000 and would present no greater\ndifficulties than financing the Panama\nca.-al, Representative Willis of Maryland told tbe house today ln an exhaustive analysis of his proposal to\nhave those lines operated by the post-\noffice department.\nRepresentative Lewis, who took\nleading part in the establishment of\nthe parcels post, and who has made\na study with postoffice officials of\ngovernment ownership of the electrical lines of communication, does not\npropose to have the government take\nover the telephone companies. His\nplan Is to have the government first\nown the telephone network of the\ncountry .operate some of the telephone\nlines as telegraphs, as Is now possible, under modern mechanical conditions, and have the government system compete with the private telegraph companies at the outset In the\neame proportion as the parcels post\nnow competes with the express companies.\n\"The provision of the laws of public and private financiering,\" said Mr.\nLewis, \"by which governments have\nbeen disinherited of their normal\nfunctions, has led to such corruption\nand demoralization that citieB like\nNew York, with its street railways;\nPhiladelphia with its gas works, and\nSan Francisco with its telephones,\nhave shamed the scions o\u00a3 Roman corruption in their most dishonorable\ndays.\nInvestigation discloses that our telegraphic rates are the highest among\n20 countries. The result uf theBe abnormal rates is that we rank but ninth\nwith telegraph users. Against these\nconditions, it appears that our postal\nrates average lower than other countries, and the system of letters Is\nthe highest in the world.\n\"The telegraph companies seem to\nbe lacking in institutional economy\nor efficiency. The operation of sending a telegram ls loaded down with\n74 incidental services and processes,\nnot less than 50 of which would be\nrepaid by affixing the postage stamp.\n\"To take over the telegraph lines\nalone and operate them merely as\ntelegraph lhfes might result in postal\nbankruptcy.\n\"But our toll and long distance telephone rates compare with those of\nother countries even lesB favorably.\nIt Is not unfair, or inaccurate, to say\nthat .the American interurban telephone rates are the scandal of public\nservice rates the world over. The\nAmerican telephone monopoly takes\nthe thirteenth place among 17 coun-\ntiles with regard to the lowness of\nthese rates.\n\"The local rates of the Bell Tele\nphone monopoly are just twice the\naverage charge in other countries,\"\ncontinued Mr. Lewis.\n\"While our postal rates give us the\nfirst rank in lowness of charges, this\ncompany ranks but fourteenth, among\n16 countries with its local charges,\nand we are one of the countries where\nthe charge exceeds the local postage\nrates, other countries giving a much\nlower per telephone call than their!\nletter rates.\n\"The subscribers' rates in American\ncities with-continental cities are about\nthree times as high. For example,\nNow York, where 5,400 calls, about 15\na day, under a measured service tariff,\ncost more than the four unlimited\nyearly rates of London, Paris, Berlin\nand Stockholm together,\n\"For a like service, Baltimore pays\nmore than the rates for London and\nParis combined, and Washington pays\nas much as the cities of Amsterdam,\nRotterdam, xVuckland, Toklo and Cop\nenhagen combined. In postal telephone countries the local toll tariffs\ntend to run about one-half the charge\nfor a letter, while here it runs with\nthe street car fare, and sometimes\nexceeds It.\n\"While competition does not supply\na remedy because It divides the service and necessitates the payment for\ntwo telephones, let it throws an interesting Bide-light on the tendency of\na private-monopoly to jack up tlie\nrates. Thus of GO of the great American cities, 24 averaging 342,386 in\npopulation pay an averago annual telephone rate of $53 under competition,\nwhile the other 36 cities average but\n338,629 in population, without competition, pay an average of $81. Since\ncompetition can only augment the\ntotal cost of operation, it is apparent\nmonopoly and high rates go hand In\nbaud.\n\"It will be unnecessary to take over\ntlie telegraph lines here (capitalized\nat $40,000,000), as both kinds of communication can be handled on the\ntelephone wires, which exceed the tele-\ngraph wires In mileage and geographical distribution.\n\"The cost of acquiring the telephone\nnetwork Is indicated as something\nless than $900,000,000, for which it is\nproposed to issue 3 per cent bonds,\npayable In 50 years. It is calculated\nthat the postal system, by superimposing the telegraph service on the telephone lines at half the present telegraph rates may net some $50,000,000\nannually from that traffic alone, which\nwith the present profits of the telephones, and after the deduction of\nthe interest on the bonds and depreciation, would supply the department\na large surplus for extensions, and\nso forth.\nsix miles at about 100 miles an hour.\nThe loaded flat cars bore a weight of\nabout 100 tons and passed through\nKitchener station with a roar.

Travelling at\nsuch a speed they made a clean jump\nover the embankment without injuring the track, thus allowing No. 84 to\npass safely by. The wrecking crew\nand doctors dispersed.
