If\nthe relations with Russia were\nfriendly, he asked, why had not\nRussia been recognised? Was it\nbecause Russia had not undertaken\nto pay her debts? If that was to\nbe a bar to recognition, how was\nIt that Prance had A representative ln London?\n\"Our position abroad, ls weaker\nthan ever before,\" he asserted. \"Our\nInfluence ln foreign affairs has almost disappeared, \u2022 \u2022 t* When\nFrance needed our aid It was given\nwithout stint ngalnst Germany.

This would be _ \u201e,.,...\ngreat saving to Yukon residents j ever seen one ,\u00bb.\nnnd would obviate the necessity of the government provide - .,\u201e,.,,\u201e*\n. Mrla,Low,?1B** the federal\ngovernment in a few days for the\nconstruction of a dam at Morris-\nburg.\nReferring to oppofllMon to this\nscheme which had been voiced from\nQuebec Premier Ferguson declared\nthat nothing was further from Ontario's intention than to Interfere\nfn any way with navigation on the\nSt. Lawrence or the power resources\nof the sister province. The project\nwould benefit the port of Montreal,\nhe maintained. Ho made an earnest\nappeal for cooperation among the\nprovinces of Canada, and deprecated\nfriction between Quebec and Ontario.\nThe great need ln Ontario .it present\nwas capital, he maintained, because\ncapital meant industry und industry\nprovided tho payrolls which produced general prosperity and which\nbenefitted the farmer, who needed\nan enlarged market for his products.\nLiberals' Becklet* Appaals\nAfter u few preliminary remarks,\nMr. Melphen turned to a dtwutlllotl of\nsubjects pertaining to federal politics. Very little in the nature of\nreview of retrospect need lie itlven,\nlie said, though it would be Interesting to call MC** to mind the Issue5\nwhich separated the political parties\nbetween the close nf the war and the\ncontest of Ull,\n\"It would be amusing, if not profit-\nable, to recall tbe furious nppeals\nmade by our opponents to- the reckless extreme of class and race animosities, the wholesale misrepresentation of both facts and policies; the\nloud professions of tender sympathy\nfor every one who was discontented,\nand especially for what were called\n'the masses'; the brave vauntlngs\nagainst 'big business' and 'profiteers';\nthe sickly affectations about usurpation and responsible government; the\nsol men pledges meant only to be\nbribes; the shameless duplicity; the\ncatering to the grievances of every\nsection, nnd the dishonest promise of\nfavors toll\/1 he Kuid. \"These were\nthe weapons adopted by the leaders\nof the Liberal party in 1921.\"\nThe government, he declared, was\nbeyond defence.\nA number of large problems demanded the attention of the Canadian people, said Mr. Meighen. There\nwas the national debt amounting to\nIM1MM4M.\nApalUng Tax Burden\n''We labor as well, partly as a consequence 4if our debt but still more\nas a conaequence of lax nnd\npotent government, under a pyramid of\ntaxation now so heavy as to be oppressive and almost crushing,\" he said.\n\"This phase of daily conditions I*\nbefore everyone s mind. The undls-\ncrlmlnatory, confiscatory taxation ot\ntoday is throttling business, discouraging Industry, stifling enterprise and\nNelson s Best Cafes\ndarkening the horizon of Canada. The (\ncauses of the excels burden are not;\nbard to ascertain\u2014they are known\nnow\u2014everybody knows them. Many of\nthem are, I admit, hard to remove,\nbut they can he removed and 'hey\nmust be removed.\n\"The next matter that calls for attention Ib the subject of employment,\"\ndeclared Mr. Meighen. \"The cold, unhappy truth Is that wa have less\nemployment ln Canada tods\/ than\nwe have had for years hacx. Hurely\nth\u00ab duty of the state and ihe object\nof public policy will be to foster\nproductive occupations for our peopt\u00ab;\nbut instead of gaining ground in this\ndirection the fact Is our productive\noccupations are contracting. \u2022 * \u2022\n'The trouble with too much of the\ntrade of today Is that it Is an unprofitable trade, and -his applies r<.'\nagriculture, to manufacturing and many\nother Industries as well. expansion\nof Canadian plants ia* caused, nnd\nunless a change comes soon I f-vir\nwe are going to lose the ground we\nhave gained.\nLoss of Cltiiens\n\"The third problem that calls for\nattention is really the product of the\nother two, but It is the most Mtioos\nof all; it is the loss of our people.'\nsaid the speaker. 'Unless a country\ngoes ahead It goes' back. emigration is tli\u00ab outward evlderv- >f industrial stalemate. In point of national strength the exodus of last year\nhas been more disastrous to Canada\nthan the war.\"\n\"The figures are distressing- If\nthe drift of today is not to be checked\nthe wave of discouragement will become serious indeed.\n\"The way t hings are going now\na large share nf the money spent on\neducation\u2014millions and millions a J\"\u00ae*1\"\"\n\u2014turns out really to have been spent\nfor the benefit of the United States\nThe trained and cultured sons of\nCanada are attracted over therfi.\nGreat Sections Discontented\n\"Then, too, nnd last of all, a measure of discontent greater than for\nmany years gono by exists in the\nmaritlmes and the prairie west. These\ngreat sections of our country feel,\neach of them, thst they have _not\nbeen treated as equal partners tn Confederation. I am quite aware thai\nsome feeling of this kind has subsisted many years, but It was never\nso acute as now.\n\"The maritlmes believe that their\naccess to the central markets of\nCanada Is too burdensome, and as\nwell they believe that a greater effort\nshould be made by the rest of the\nDominion to divert export traffic\nthrough their ports.\n\"The west has been taught, without\nthe least sincerity, that the tariff was\nrhe cause of their trouble. Other\njrievances they complain of, too, Oen-\ndrally the state of mind, both it,\nhe Atlantic provinces and the prairies,\nls far from being healthful and wholesome as respects the entire Dominion. '\n\"These things demand the attention\nof public men, and there must be a\nremedy.\"\nThe government, declared Mr. Meighen,\nhad made absolutely no progress in\nthe solution of a single one of these\nproblems. The weight of taxation,\nadding to the burden nn the con-\n', had increased the economlt\nstrain on agriculture. He demandeC\nimmediate action by the government i<\nbring relief. In some branches of\nagriculture lite margin between tht\nof production of farm product?\nand their sale price had been wfpec\nout altogether. Progressive and Libra! leaders declared that the cure wa*\nto be found In wiping out the tariffs\n\u2022.in toodstuf \"s, farm Implements anu\nother important classes of commodities\nA Challenge\n\"The Progressive leaders and the\nLiberal leaders are now in command\nof more than two-thirds of the\nhouse of commons, and on fiscal\npolicy they cannot be defeated ln\nthe senate. They have the situation lii their hands. I defy them\nto put their program Into effect,\"\nsaid Mr. Meighen in conclusion.\n\"The whole of Canada defies\nthem. Their vauntld remedy of\n131*\"j was a quack remedy, ft was\na false and perilous remedy, ano\novery man in the present government knows It was. Today, though\non this queBtfon they have absolute command and an overwhelming majority, they dare not apply\nthat remedy.\"\nGEDDES URGES\nLABORITES TO\nTOMOVES\nSays Trade ol World Is Balanced on a Knife Edge\nat Present\nSTATESMANSHIP MUST\nPRESERVE CONFIDENCE\nParty Must Put Personal\nFeeling and Fads Second\nto Nation's Good\nPhons 571\n313 Bak.r St.\nTHE GRILL\nTHE PLACE TO EAT\nJee> Sanders, Prop.

Sir Eric,\nwould fane any Bovernroent which\ndid anything to throw men ^>ut of\nemployment by upsetting the confidence whereon British trade flourished. World trade and the prosperity of Oreat Britain were balanced on a knife edge, and very little\nmight turn the balance.\nSituation Delicate\nSir Eric continued that there was\na distinct tendency toward trade Improvement. With this delicate situation very little might turn tho scale.\nA hasty or ill-considered administrative act, proposals for legislation,\neven if Irresponsible, or not fully\nresponsible, might shake confidence.\n\"There Is no doubt that the advent\nof a new party cf which certain extreme members mnke proposals which\nshock us, has caused uneasiness,\"\nhe raid. \"There has been no panic,\nand the sky is not black with pound\nnotes winging their way across the\nAtlantic, hut there is no doubt that a\nlot of investing Is being done abroad,\ni\"f the risks of Investment due to the\npolitical situation be deemed too\ngreat, the people will invest elsewhere, Industry will suffer, employment will suffer, and the purchasing\niwrwer of the home market will decrease, I would say to whatever\ngovernment is in power, that the\npresent position Is one of extreme\ndelicacy. This is not a time for\npersonal fooling or party fads. It ls\na time for cnreful, cautious statesmanship; for weighing every act and\nword; for great courage and pa-\ni tlence.\"\n( Sir Eric vlew*od with gravest apprehension * the action cf the locomotive engineers and firemen ln repudiating the findings of the national\nwage board and threatening to strike.\nThe whole principle of collective bargaining would be set at naught, he\nsaid, lf this disastrous action should\nbe followed to its logical conclusion\nBRIEFS FROM THE WIRE\nHow Much\nAre You Worth\nFrom Your Neck Up?\nTrain your brain for success\nIn business by a practical\ncourse at\nNORTHWESTERN\nBUSINESS COLLEGE\nSpokane\nWrit* for Catalog \"E\"\nM.

The\noutput of poles and piling was 733,485\nfeet, while the hewn railway ties\nmade up a grand total of 1.007.184.\nAlthough the railway^ companies have\na preference for the sawn tie, due\nlargely to the fact that It helps stabilize the sawmill business, the cut of\nh(wn ties is almost two-thirds of\nEaat Kootenay's total tie output for\nlast year.\nMore Than Two Thousand \"Employed\nIn the lumbering Industry last year\nIt is figured 2200 men were given employment In the mills, woods and shipping, with an average day's pay cIobo\nto J3.75. The Canadian Pacific Railway company In the biggest Individual\nemployer of mill and forest help at\nIts large plant at Yahk, and its somewhat smaller operations at Bull Blver.\nOf 36 sawmills located throughout\nEast Kootenay, 26 were In operation\nlast yenr, and of the 10 that were Idle\nit may be said that their non-operation was for the most part due to the\nexcessive cost of getting out the raw\niti:tt\u00ab*rial. The 'mills operating show\nan average daily capacity of 60.000\nfeet\u2014the biggest of them negotiating\n*'.0,000 teet, and the smjllest not lets\nfhnn 10.000 feet.\nThere were 15 new plnnts put' In\noperation last year, all of the portable\nt)pa, nnd. according to Mr Moore, this\nt>pe of sawmill will continue to show\nan increase. With the bigger mjlls\nf'ndlng the cost of getting out the\nraw material increasing to the point\nwhere profitable operation Is about out\nOa' the question, these smaller plants\nnre coming into their own. particularly\nwith the present high price prevailing\nfor rnllway ties.\nOf this total of in portable mills set\nup, Mr. Moore states that seven of\ntr.em are in the district tributary to\nCreston. from which area ls n!?o com-\nIr.g at present most of the 600.000 feet\nof poles shipped snd fully 70 per cent\nof the fence posts that are moving.\nTimber Sales Doable\nDuring 1923 the district forester\ncompleted 46 timber sales representing\n22.979,000 feet, or double the Bales\nmade the year previous. To prevent\ntiespass, and to make sure that regulations are being observed, the forestry\nstaff in East Kootenay last year made\nf\"> inspections of timber lands sold,\nas well as 50 inspections on other\noperations, while the area of timber\nslishlngs piled nnd burned was 5021\nacres.\nAnother feature of the forester's\nwork is the inspection of preemptions,\nor homesteads, of which 200 were inspected in 1923. Of these. r\u00bb0 per cent\nare within 16 miles of Cranbrook, and\nthe balance are In the Columbia and\nElk River calleys. On these 437 acres\nv.ere brought Into cultivation last year,\nlargely to hay crop, and the improvements to them are valued at $76,830.\nWILL BUY BOOKS FOR\nAPPLEDALE LIBRARY\nLadloa' Progressiva Association Dia-\nonsaea Baslneas; Sunday School\nBlBcts Officers\nAPPLEDALE, Jan. 17.\u2014At the\nmonthly meeting of the Ladles' Progressive association held at the home\nof Mrs. E.

The child, after tossing\nrestlessly about, will start up with\na flushed face, protruding eyeballs,\nand a distressing look of terror and\nanxiety. There ls a struggle for\nbreath, and the expectoration of the\nmucous fnatter ls so difficult to get\nrid of that the effort appears to\nthreaten strangulation.\nOn the first sign of the \"croupy\ncrow\" mothers should administer Dr.\nWood's Norway Pine Syrup, and\nthus give the child prompt and permanent relief, and perhaps the life\nsaved by taking this precaution.\nMrs. H. A. Langhorn, Hamilton,\nOnt., writes: \"My little boy was very\nbad with tho croup and I could not\nget anything to relieve him until\nI tried Dr. Wood's Norway Pine\nSyrup. I cannot praise it too highly\nfor the relief It gave him.\"\nPrice 35c a bottle; the large family\nsize 60c; put up only by The T.

They\nbecome sluggish and weaken; then\nyou may suffer with a dull misery\nIn the kidney region, sharp pains In\nthe back or **tok headache, dizziness,\nyour stomach sours, tongue is coated,\nand when the weather is bad you\nhave rheumatic twinges. The urine\ngets cloudy, full of sediment, the\nchannels often get sore and Irritated,\nobliging you to seek relief two or\nthree times during the night.\nTo help neutralize these Irritating\nacids; to help cleanse tho kidneys\nand flush off the body's urinous\nwaste, get four ounces of Jad Salts\nfrom any pharmacy here. Take a\ntablespoonful In a glass of water before breakfast for a few days, and\nyour kidneys may then act fine.\nThis famous salts Is made from tho\nacid ol grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithla, and has been used\nfor years to help flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys; also to neutralise the acids in the system oo\nthey no longer Irritate, thus often\nrelieving bladder weakness.\nJad Salts io Inexpensive: cannot\nInjure, and makes a delightful effervescent llthla-water drink. By all\nmeans have your physician examine\n-four kidneys at least twice a jt$x.\n \"-fag^sr-r*\nTHH NELSOK CJAILT\" NfiWB, Fl^M M^^G\/fAi^ARY'18,19W-\nSTOCKS MOVE\ni IRREGULARLY\nSxtwutT* Beadlnitm-mt of Bp**cniU-\ntire Accounts Hakes a Spottj\nMarket\nNEW YORK.

The Sheiks\nnow lead Calgary Tigers by three\npoints.

The Sheiks put\non an extra burst of speed In the\nsecond, and simply ran away from\nLthe Capitals. They scored four goals\n'In this period, three of them very\nS fine efforts and one of them flukey.\nRegina rallied strongly In the third\nperiod, outscoring the locals by three\nto one. Oeorge Hay was responsible\nfor the first two, which were duo to\nweak defensive work, white Moran's\n\u2022ffoal to close the scoring was a gift.\nLaurie Scott, Bill Cock, Newsy Lalonde and Harry Cameron were the\nshining stars for the. winning side.\np.

His work on his\nwing was high class, and he topped\nhis evening's work off with two fine\ngoals.\nHalnsworth had an off night. He\nlet in some soft ones, and the Crescents' defensive system was not as\ngood as usual.\nThe game was remarkably clean.\nOne penalty was handed out by Referee Gardiner, and that went to\nNewell for putting Jchnny Matz Into\nthe fence with too much force.\nThe Summary\nFirst period\u20141, Reglna, Gagne from\nStanley. 3:25; 2, Saskatoon, Berlinquette from Cook, 1:05; 3, Saskatoon,\nScott from Cameron,* 5:30.\nSecond period\u20144, Regina, Stanley\nfrem Hay, 4:45; 5, Saskatoon.

Rossland, on top of\nIt all. played the better game, having\nthe better of the second period In\nparticular, whert Scotty Notman, the\nlocal custodian, saved time and again\nwhat seemed like sure goals.\nBeferee Booed\nReferee Al. Keating of Rossland\ncame tn for a lot of criticism, and\nas booed numerous times by local\nfans. In the last period he did get ln\ndutch when he banished Wilf Marquis\nfor slashing back at Molisky, after\nthe Rossland forward had given him\nthe atick. Referee Keating, ln handing\nMill the penalty, grabbed Marquis, al'\nmost jerking him off his feet, and\nordered him a two-minute rest. Marquis talked back, and the rest was increased to four minutes. During his\nlnforced rest, Huffman, the Rossland\ncenterman. running wild, scored Rossland's goal, which was well-earned.\nBosslaad Well atepreseatod\nRossland fan* numbering more than\n200, arrived on a special train at 8\no'clock, and were given reserved seats\non one side of the rink, the seats being marked in red and white bunting,\nthe Rossland colors. It was a happy\ncrowd of fnns which left the city at\nmidnight, homeward bound, with the\n\\lctory tucked safely away.\nPlay threatened at times to become\ndirty, so anxious were the players,\nand the referee kept a steady line running to the bos. In all he handed out\nI- penalties, sit to Rossland players\nfor a\" total of 12 minutes, and 7 to\nNelson players for a total of 16 minutes. In the majority of cases the\nbanishments were for tripping; two\nwere loafing, and others for stiff\nchecking.\nHuffman was the bright, shining\nlight of the visitors during the whole\nevening, and he had several pokes at\nthe Nelson goal from close in and\nfrom center Ice. He was ably assisted\nby Jewell, who turned in a fast and\nheady game, it being his best exhibition of the season. True, he came ln\nfor a tot of criticism on account of\nwhat could be termed, dirty antics,\nbut, nevertheless, he played a fast\ngame throughout\nFor Nelson, Richardson and Marquis\nplayed well. Both were marked men\nduring the whole of the game, but\nneither tired during the whole play.\nClaude Miller skated his wing well,\nwhile Notman, ln the nets, played his\nusual cool and deliberate game .\nFace Zs rest\nTlay opened In the first period with\na pace which looked too fast to last.\nbut It was soon shown that it would\ncontinue. Both aggregations seemed\nanxious to score, and as a result little\ncombination play resulted. Johnson\nond Notman, the goalies, put up a\ngreat display and turned aside numerous shots at the nets. Rossland players pressed hard throughout the period\npnd were bending over long shots\nwhich were on the nets. Jewell and\nDutch Singer both broke through the\nNelson defence and drew Notman, but\nto no good. Marsters, the rangy Rossland defence man, made several rushes\ntut his shots were soft for Notman.\nFlay throughout this period was pretty\n(\u25a0'.an, the only banishments being for\ntripping. Molisky and Marquis started\nan argument which was short-lived.\nBossland Ptrrong La Seooad\nRossland came out strong ln the\nstcond period, and for a time It looked\noh if they would score,' Buster Huffman again thrilled the fans with one\nof his corkscrew rushes, and managed\nto beat the whole Nelson team. Notman, to save, went to his knees, but\nthe Rossland centerman ahot high.\nMnraters repeated the Huffman trick\nlater, but to no avail. Wilfred Mar-\nculs, in this period, raised the hopes\nof the local fans with one of his\nspeedy rushes, and he managed to out-\nskate the entire visiting team, drew\nJohnson, the goalie, and 'then missed\nthe net by Inches. It was a fine try.\nJohnny O'Oenski slso did well in thfs\nperiod, and he tested Johnson several\ntimes. Rossland was playing a betteY\ncombination game, and was getting In\nclose on Notman.\nOo at Top Bpeed\nThe third waa a whirlwind affair,\nwith both squads going* (at top speed\nfrom the drop of the rubber. Aside\nfrom the criticism hurled at the referee, tho period was a pretty one to\nwatch. Rossland worked three and\ntwo-men rushes to advantage, and\nshould have garnered in a couple of\ngoals. Huffman, however, made himself the hero of his hometown fans\nmhep he grabbed the puck at his own\nblue line, out-guessed the Nelson forwards, skated around the defence men,\nthen, drawing Notman, he parked the\ndisc in the hemp exactly 10 minutes\nfrom the start of the period. Leas\nthan two minutes later he did the\nselfsame feat, but Notman was onto\nhis tricks. Play during this period\nwas inclined to be rough, the players\nplaying the man continually. Notman\nsent Jewell down once when the latter\nrushed the nets. Richardson and Deslreau in this period worked hard, but\ntheir efforts were In vain. If at any\ntime these two got away they were\nusually tackled by two or three of the\nvisiting team. The big Nelaoir defence men were watched carefully.\nDespite the score standing against\nthe home team the fans were all satisfied with the brand of hockey dished\nEnd of Season Oddments at\nPrices Which Show a Wonderful Saving\n1 ONLY, INFANT'S WHITE CASHMERE COAT\u2014Trimmed silk braid.\n$5.50. ,0On\na year.\n\u25a0as\nCalgary Speeders\nin Butte Carnival\nCAI-OARY, Jan. 17\u2014Stanley John*\nston and Miss Sid Brewster of Banff,\nAlta., man and woman speed skating champions of Alberta, have en?\ntered for the races to be held during\nthe winter carnival at Butte, Mont.i\nJanuary 25, 2t. and 27.
