A.    MACDONALD'S    REPLY    TO\nNEWS-ADVIiRTlSER.\nLEOISLATJON    INJURIOUS   TO TUB\nLUMBER INDUSTRY.\n\u25a0Shortly after tlie close of Lhe last legislative session J. A. Macdonald, leader\nof Hit! opposition, addressed a public\nmeeting at North Vancouver, a report of\nwhich appeared in the Vancouver News-\nAdvertiser. Subsequently tliat paper\npublished an editorial attributing to Mr.\nMacdonald some very remarkable statements regarding the lumber Industry.\nIt appears tliat Mr. Macdonald Immediately wrote to the News-Advertiser\ndrawing attention to these Inaccuracies\nand false deductions. This letter the\nNews-Avertlser published last Sunday.\nDealing as it does with the legislation\nof last session affecting the lumber industry, the reproduction in these columns of Mr. Macdonald'** letter will be\nopportune. The Daily News has pointed out in previous articles some of the\nchief defects of the legislation affecting\nthe issuance of timber licenses enacted\nat the last, session of Ihe legislature and\nthe comments of Macdonald will serve\nto still further emphasize the unfortunate blundering of the government in\nthis connection. Mr. Macdonlad's letter\nfollows:\nEditor, News-Advertiser,\u2014Permit me\nlo reply very briefly to your recent criticism headed ''Opposition misstatements.\" I should not have troubled\nyou with a reply but for the fact that in\nthe past you have been much fairer to\ntne I ban partisan newspapers usually\nare to their opppBents, and I can therefore assume that yon did not purposely\ndistort the facts, and strain lhe deductions in the editorial in question.\nMy statement at North Vancouver\nwas that there would lie a loss of revenue lo the province of from one million lo two million dollars by reason of\nthe conversion of existing timber licenses into what are practically leases for\nterms of from sixteen to twenty-one\nyears. 1 was not then referring to licenses granted alter lhe 15th of April instant, as you assume In your editorial.\nExisting licenses may be renewed yearly for sixteen successive years. You\nwill remember that last year the Land\nAct was amended so as to enable the\nissue of live-year licenses. The renewal\nof these latter for sixteen successive\nyears gives twenty-one years In all, and\nwhen 1 referred io the circumstance lhat\nthe royalty was fixed for the full period\nof these licenses at tiUc per thousand I\nstated what yon, Mr. Editor, know to\nbe Ihe fact. I went further and pointed\nout the distinction In the two classes\nof licenses, namely the existing ones\nwith Ihis privilege of renewal, and fut-\nuro ongs subject to any royalty that\ngovernment might see lit to Impose, and\nthe Inequality which would result to\nmlllnien and loggers In the future by\nreason of one class of license being subject to a fixed royalty of Cue and the\nother not.\nBut to return to lhe loss of revenue\nwhich will result from the conversion\nof these licenses. For periods ranging\nfrom sixteen to twenty-one years the\nroyalty on these licenses la fixed at GOc\nper thousand. This Is only 10c above\nthe royalty paid in the past. Can anyone doubt that our timber will have\nvery greatly Increased In value within\nthe next sixteen or twenty-one years?\nDuring the recent session I received,\nand I believe every member of the house\nreceived a map showing about forty timber license holdings accompanied by a\ncopy of a declaration showing that these\nholdings were being offered for sale by\na broker or a speculator, to a mill man\nin Belllngham, in the state of Washington, at $1000 per holding. At the same\ntime the declaration shows that It was\nrepresented that the provincial government would amend the Land Act so as\nto convert these licenses. This was in\nthe beginning of February, two months\nbefore the Introduction of the measure\nIn the legislature. I have no doubt, Mr,\nEditor, that you have received a copy\nof this map and declaration, and it\nmight be of some interest to your readers were you to publish litem. Now, If\nthese holdings were located wilhin a\nyear tbey cost the holders $140 each,\nand the difference between the cost nnd\nwhat the holder valued them at Is $1450\neach. Are such exploitations of our\ntimber areas In the Interest of either\nlhe logger, the mill owner or the province?\nYou challenge my figures. Mr. Editor.\nLet me test them by your own. You\nsay that an increase of 10c per thousand on coast limits would amount to\n$11500 for each holding of (140 acres. Yon\nadmit, the possibility of a substantial Increase In the value of limber ln the future, when, referring to licenses other\nthan these converted ones, you say\n\"should the value of Umber holding Increase the legislature t&r increase the\nroyalty from GOc-(50c, T presume you\nmean), not only to ihe $1.50 mentioned\n\u25a0hy Mr. Macdonald, but to any figure\nthat may be considered desirable.\"\nNow taking your own figures, an increase of 10c In the royalty would produce from const limits a contribution\nto the provincial treasury of $1000 per\nholding; 625 holdings would contribute\none million dollars. If, on the other\nhand, within this period of from sixteen\nto twenty-one years, royalty on timber,\nnot Included in these converted licenses,\nshould be increased to, say, $1.50 per\nthousand, (and here let me say that at\nthe present time the Canadian Pacific\nRailway Is getting royalties of $1.00 a\nthousand on timber over and above the\ngovernment royalty of 50c), then, the\ndifference between the fixed royalty of\nGOc from the converted licenses and the\n\"royalty which you practically admit may\nbe In force sixteen years hence of $1.50\nper thousand, would from seventy holdings only produce the said sum of one\nmillion dollars. Seventy holdings, less\nthan double the number included in\nthe map above referred to held by one\nspeculator!\nYour assertion that I made at North\nVancaouver statements which I did not\nventure to make in tho house where\nthey could be challenged Is as void of\nfoundation as It is of grace. It Is well\nknown thnt I made a strong protest\nagainst this measure in the house, moved amendments which in my opinion\nwere calculated to protect mill owners\nand loggers against the exploitation uf\nour timber resources by men who are\nneither, nnd that I made similar statements on tbe floor of the house regarding the loss of revenue to those made\nby me In North Vancouver; and I hq-\nlleve the president of the council was\nIn his seat when these statements were\nmade.\nBut with what a delightfully good\ngrace it comes from a member of the\ngovernment to taunt the opposition with\nnot having discussed this measure in\nthe house when it Is remembered that\nthe \"previous question\" was twice moved during one afternoon to stojj the debate on this very amendment to the\nLand Act, and that on both occasions\nthe president, of the council cast his\nvote to stop the debate. How characteristically humorous, therefore, of you\nto now accuse the opposition of avoiding this issue In the house!\nThe reports of the proceedings in the\nhouse In the public press will show that\nthe most vigorous opposition was offered to this hill and the strongest protests\nwere made against the manner In which\nIt was being railroaded through the\nhouse with a haste that would have\nbeen indecent in connection with much\nless Important legislation.\nIn conclusion, let me say lhat I am\nnot. nn advocate of oppressive royalties.\nThe lumber Industry should be fostered by fair anil even generous treatment,\nbut the recent act is certain to lead to\ninequalities in conditions as between\nthose engaged In the manufacture of\nlumber. Us effects mny not be felt for\nthe next few years, hut when the value\nof our timber has Increased to such an\nextent as to compel the legislature to\nlook for a larger return from It, we shall\nhave the anomoly of one mill owner or\nlogger competing on very unequal terms\nwith another, and In many cases both\nwill be obliged to pay high prices for\nthe speculative holdings of outsiders.\nJ.

DEANE\nTUB RAILWAY SITUATION.\nKlsewhere in today's Issue will be\nfound a lengthy communication from\nDuncan Ross, M. P., In reference to the\nSimilkameen railway situation. He intimates that a flght Is being made at\nOttawa to prevent the passage of certain amendments to tho V. V, & E. rail-\n\u25a0way charter, which are designed to permit of J. J. Hill building into the Similkameen and extending the line to the\ncoust by the easiest, grades.\nThe views expressed by Mr. Ross will\nmeet with general approval In this produce. No one outside of those directly\ninterested in the maintenance of a monopolistic system will object to the Groat\nNorthern Railway company being granted such concessions as will permit of\nIhelr constructing a line of railway to\nconnect the Slmllkameen district with\ncoast points over a routo that offers tbe\nbest grades, even if this m-un1*, iu> it\nundoubtedly does, running In nn,l out\nalong tbe International boundary line.\nTbe objection that has been raise;! to\nthe Hill undertaking was based upon Ihe\npossibility of his Rlmilkaineen branch\nbeing made a mere feeder of the Great\nNorthern main line, thus diverting traffic tbat should go to build up British\nColumbia coast towns to the coast cities of Washington, Everett or Seattle;\nIf Hill contemplates what in effect will\nbe an all-Canadian line from Midway,\nthrough the Similkameen district and\ninto Vancouver, tbe objection that the\nline may here and tliere, to secure favorable grades, cross tlie international\nboundary line, will meet with scant cou-\nsideration by British Columbians, who\nunderstand the physical conditions of\nthe country to he traversed and who appreciate the Importance of early transportation facilities being provided for\ndistricts known to be rich in mineral\nand other resources.\nQuick\nSilver\nWe have just passed into stock\na consignment of quick silver on\nwhich we can offer extremely low\nprices.

This change of front is, of\ncourse, ascribed to mercenary motives,\na desire on the part of the electors in\nUie two above mentioned constituencies\nto he ou the side of the \"ins.\" This'ls\na great come down from the attitude of\na few days hack and properly interpre-\nI tiled no douht signifies that the effort to\nwork up a hitter sectarian fight is not\nso easy a matter as at flrst appeared.\nNow that the true effect of the educational clauses in the Autonomy bill are\nbecoming Known, tlio thinking clement\nin these, and all other constituencies is\nawakening to the fact that a great deal\nof bother has been made over something\nof very trilling import; that, in a word,\nthey have heen develved as to the real\nnature of the legislation so hotly attacked. It is not lo be supposed that the\nI fight will be dropped entirely but It is\nbecoming daily more apparent that even\nin Ontario it will be hard to humbug the\npeople much longer.\nThe Montreal Star thus comments upon the disallowance of the alleged nnti-\nJapanese measures passed hy the British\nColumbia legislature: \"The dominion\ngovernment, has promptly disallowed ihe\nstupid anti-Japanese acts which were\nrushed through the British Columbia\nlegislature just at the close of the late\nsession. This was inevitable, and the British Columbians knew perfectly well that\nil would happen. But that did not prevent them from throwing an apple of\ndiscord into the vitally important Japo-\nBrltish relations just at this critical\ntime. H it. was done merely for partizan\npurposLs, it was one of the maddest examples of parly folly which Canada has\never seen.\" Wo can assure the Star that\nlegislation aimed at tho restriction of\nMongolian    immigration   is not intro-\n( duced for party purposes in this province. Thla Is a subject about which\nthere is no difference of opinion on the\npart of the overwhelming majority of\nBritish Columbians.   Liberals and con-\n} servatives nlilte realize that the true\nprosperity of tills province depends upon\nthe well-being or the people as a whole\nanil that tliere can he no desirable economic or social conditions If Mongolians\nin any appreciable num'ier are permit-\ned to enter lnlo competition with cny\nclass of the while population*\nwhich this liniment affords makes re*-t \u2022**\nslceji possible, nml that alone Is worth\nmany times lis cost.

At the time the\nfactories of the*ompany at Montreal cover\n12 acres of space und it Is great evidence\nof Hie vast strides the dominion is making In this Industry, ns In others, when it\nIs mentioned that even this enormous\nBpace for manufacturing purposes is found\nat  Ihe present time entirely Insufficient.\nFor years the Canadian Rubber company\nhave been leaders und originators In many\nof the progressive manufacturing and distributing methods that have made Montreal famous as a commercial centre, and\nthey hnve always aimed to not only keep\nup with the rpld growth or the dominion,\nbut laso to anticipate the great expansion\nof the future.\nII may lie mentioned that during tho\nyear 190-1. over $240,000 was spent by tbe\nmanagement on additions and Improvements to the factories.\nThe statement is now given out by Mr.\nLome McGlbbon, general manager of the\ncompany, that during the year 11)05, no less\na sum than $250,000 has been a Noted by the\ndirectors for the purpose of not only Improving the plant in the way of additional\nmachinery, etc., but in the erection of new\nfactories for the manufacture of many\nlines of goods at present being handled\nIn a restricted way, but for which there\nis a groat possibility in this country.\nIt Is anticipated by the management that\nthe new factory and additions to the existing plant will Incrense the present producing capacity of the plant by at least\n50 per cent.\nThe completion of these additions and Improvements will make it possible to employ a very large ndditional force of\nwork people hi the Montreal factories, and\nail concerned in the progress of the dominion will be interested to know of this\ngreat projected expansion of the manufacturing facilities of the Canadian Rubber company of Montreal,\nAPRIL  LEAD RECEIPTS\nOro   Tonnage   and   Product    of   t\nMines Smelter\nFollowing are the lead receipts\nHall Mtries smelter for the month i\nMine lbs.  ore      1\nAmerican Roy     40,630\nAlice        08.520\nAthabasca     10,227\nAntoine       52,070\nFisher   Maiden        80,090\nHewitt        V7.H72\nIvanhoe      40,903\nLorna Doone     89,850\nLast   Chance     80,002\nLucky Roy      47,042\nNeepawa      260,936\nPayne     4-1,752\nRuth        R9.501\nSt.  Eugene   2,256,75')\nSilver Cup     318,596\nt'rbnn        8,976\nYmlr     349,744\nTotal    3,1\n3,804\nHOW   TO  GET   PURE   SEED\nSubject to be Elucidated by Exports Bo-\nfore Farmers' Institute\n.1.

That is lhe sign thnt must in\nfuture direct the steps of British Imperial\nstatesmanship. A hundred years of British supremacy must have shown it to be\nessential and In the best Interests of the\nhuman race that British ideals should continue to dominate tne world. No single\nstuto cherishing those Ideals could reach\nthut height alone; but the federated Hrlt-\nis people, guided by their glorious traditions, governed by a council at which shall\n| sit their chosen advisers from all ends of\nthe earth,  inspired   by   the   realization  ol\ni tlie duty which Providence has Imposed\nupon them\u2014tbey shall perpetuate the noble\nI work that the seamen of Elizabeth began.\nThe economic and commercial union or\nthe empire Is Insisted upon in tho self-\ngoverning slates oversea as an essential\npreliminary to the closer political union of\ntbo empire. That is a condition of which\nwe fully admit tlie necessity and lhe com-\n011 sense, and whicli we in the old country aro striving hard to bring about. For\nthe moment -we have to contend with Indifference and the subjugation of imperial\nto party Interests in high places, and the\nGllberthut conception among numbers  of\nthe electorate that to bring Into fuller\ncultivation tbo wheal llelds of Canada\nand Australia, and India will be to raise\nthe priet of corn in tho United Kingdom;\nbut these prejudices wo are more than\nco'nfldont of overthrowing, even if hi the\nond their subversion .should mean lhe disruption of the pitrty. The preference movement in Ureal Britain lias at its head a\nstatesman who never up till now has shown\nhimself ready to sacrifice what he considers to be the permanent good of Hie empire lo tbe unity of the party, and Britons\noversea wftu have heard sinister rumors\nui what Mr, Chamberlain proposes to give\nway upon in order to conciliate the weaker\nwing of bis party, may rest assured that\nsiu.ii tales are altogether unfounded on\nfact, Air. (.'luimheiialn will not swerve\nfrom tlie course ho has started uponi\nbut will pursue U undisturbed by either\nthe timid bi-seehthings ot a section of the\nunionists or the unabashed misrepresentations  of  Die  radicals.\nThe urgency of answering Ln the afilrin-\natlvp tlie gmat ciuestlon put before them\nby the missionary of the empire hug yel\nto be fully driven Into the minds of the\nelectorate at home. We are not among\nthese   who   would   regard  tile   rejection   of\nMr. Chamberlain's proposals as equivalent\n\u00bbo signing Hie death warrant of the em-\nfpire; but we do say, and say it on the\nauthority of every British imperial statesman, that sucb nn action would postpone\nalmost Indcflnlltely that more complete\nunification of the race, which we Britons\nare In duty hound lo promote.\nThe rejection of Mr. Chamberlain's proposals would mean at the best a serious\nshock to British loyalty; by which' we\nmean tliat our kinsmen oversea would\nlook askance at tlie protestations of Imperialism in England, and would begin to\nask thomselves If, after all,' it was not\nrather a, poor partner Unit would not see\nbeyond ttie length of ids nose. We do not\n*-peak of loyally as of loyalty to England!\nthe days ol\" such language are past. We\nuse lt aa a term expressive of the determination of Britons to Bee their empire\nthrough lis preconceived destiny as the\nbead and front for all time of the nations\nof tbo world.\nBut there aro other forces working to\nbring about a result that would give the\nrest of the world so much rejoicing, and\nour readers\u2014especially those in Canada-\nwill note with a good deal of amusement\nthe paragraph in some United States newspapers: \"It Is the duty of every citizen\nof tiie United States lo do his Utmost\nto acquire Canada.\" Acquire Canada, is\ngood. After the British navy lias gone to\nthe bottom of Ivey West and the world\ndrawn hosts of Britain's horse and foot\nhave been driven to the Hudson's bay.\nwe wonder what the people of the dominion will bave to say in the matter? Those\ncitizens of the Unilted Slates on acquisition bent might find that men matured\nbeneath the folds ol\" the Union Jack are\nnot altogether enchanted by tbe prospect\nof starring thomselves in the firmament\nor tin- nether nation's flag.\nBut these wild dreams of acquisition\nare not confined to Boston papers. It is\nless than ten years ago tbat Theodore\nRoosevelt told his countrymen that \"every\ntrue patriot should look forward to tin-\nday when not a single European power\nwin hold a foot of American soil,\" and\nwe all know that similar ambitions are\ncherished today. Vet we know of no cause\nfor such language. These people should\nremember that the British empire In not\nmerely a European power. Of course in\nEurope tbe Biitisli empire Is n European\npower, but that is only one of her many\nphases. In America she is tin American\npower, even as in Africa she Is an African power, In Asia an Asiatic power, iu\nthe Pacific a  Pacific power,\nTho true position uf the British empire\nUgh In the link between the continents\nwhere her foot Is planted firm OS tlte continents themselves. II. Is the sea and Uie\ninvincible royal navy thai raise us above\nthe level of a nation capable of being adequately expressed as European or American,   to   the   height   of  a  people   that  can\njustly claim tho appellation of world power\nAt the same time we might correct another misapprehension under which Hi'*\npresident then\u2014and mav now be\u2014laboring.\nwhich was tbat Canada Is under the con-\ntrot of a European power. Nothing Is\nfurther from our Ideals of British imperialism. We believe that Canada as a free\nslate should always be under Canadian\ncontrol, while that as an Integral part of\ntiie empire she should be under the control of the Imperial council, iu which her\nvoice and Influence should be commensurate witli her development-arid aspirations.\nEvidently ttiere is an absurd idea abroad\nth&l British imperialism resembles thai\nof  the   United  States.\nThere are problem?\" arising In connection wllh Australia also which demand\nlhe empire's serious attention. The mass\nOf public feeling lu fSreiii. Britain Is decidedly favorable to a renewal and perhaps lo an extension, of the alliance witb\nJnpttn. Yet we may ask if the British\ngovernment  lias  fully  taken  into consider-\nilon the consequences that may result from\nencouraging tin- development of a powor\nwhose ultimate ambitions will inevitaljly\nbe to extend her territory iu the waters\nof   tbo   Pacific   and   nu   lhe   mainland   Of\nChina, and whose advent as n first class\nnaval power cannot but create uneasiness\non the Paclllc coast of Canada, From a\npurely English point of view the alliance\nleaves nothing lu bo desired, but It Is\nsuicidal to try to run an empire on purely\nnational lines. Before the renewal of tlie\ntreaty com|es up for consideration we\nearnestly hope that tho prime minister\nand tlie secretary of slate for foreign\naffairs will carefully ascertain nnd give\nevery possible weight to the opinion of\nthose of our empire slates so much more\nnearly lni crested geographically, economically\" and,  perhaps, politically\u2014Australia,\nNew Zealand, Canada, and  India.\nSuch a consultation might well be the\nInauguration of a Hystem by which really\nImperial sentiment should be ascertained\nbefore any great move of International\npolities was decided Upon,\nNEW CROP\nTEAS\nJU3T RECEIVBD.\nFresh and Fragrani\nBlack or Green\nAS ALWAYS\nTHE BEST\nPrices moderate by the pound or orlf\nInal package\nKootenay Coffee Co,\nPhone 177.

Corbin made application to the\ndominion parliament lor a charter to\nconstruct u railway from Marcus on\nthe Spokane Falls A Northern along\nthe Kettle river to the Boundary raining district, The people directly Merest ed In the Boundary were anxious\nthat this charter should be grained aa\nthe initial _te\\f in seeming transportation facilities, without which no further development could be carried out\nThe application waa opposed by lhe\nCanadian Pacific Hallway Company ami\nnot only was there a si rung lobby maintained at Ottawa but tlie services of\nnewspapers friendly to the Canadian\ncorporal ion were enlisted. Dining tlie\ntime the measure was before the railway committee the old (lag was vigorously waved and column afler column\nof pal rlol ic twaddle published, The\nbogie man of a foreign railway corporation draining tlie wealth of our\ncountry for the benellt of our neighbors to the south, was trotted out to\nfrighten the timid, and arouse well In-\ntentloned citizens of this country who\nare always ready to show their loyalty\nto Canadian institutions when it entails no sacrifice of themselves or the\nparticular portion of lhe dominion In\nwhich their Interests lio. The principle Involved In lhe Corbin application\nwas the right of an important mining\ndislrlct in British Columbia to secure\nthe best transportation facilities. ThaJ\nright, has never been denied any other\nportion of the dominion. It wns a principle which the peuple ot Brlllah Col\numbia should have stood by and fought\nfor but unfortunately at lhat time as\nnow tliere were men and newspapers In\nour province who were prepared to accept the patriotic cry and were prepared to be'frightened by the bogie man\nin order that Southern British Columbia might be continued a preserve of\nthe Canadian Pacific Hallway Company,\nIn 1898 the Canadian Pacific railway\nlobby was too strong and tbo Corbin\ncharter did not pass.\nBut. the road was built, Corbin sold\nhis Interests to the Great Northern Railway Company, and that company, afler\nencountering many difficulties, succeeded in const ructlng a road from\nMarcus, west, through Grand Forks to\nPhoenix. Today the Great Northern\nrailway Is operating the road Mr, Corbin asked permission to build. Have\nthe prophecies or the Canadian Paclllc\nRailway Company been fulfilled? In-\nStead of draining (lie wealth of Canada\nInto the United StateB this road is draining the wealth of the United States\ninto Canada. Not n pound of Boundary\ncreek ore Is treated in American smelters; the ore of Republic, Washington,\nis being treated at the smelters of Grand\nPorkS and Greenwood.\nWhen the Canadian Pacific railway\nbegan hauling ores from lhe Boundary\nmines to the smelters the rato on ore\nfrom the flrnuby mines al Phoenix to\nihe smelter at Grand Forks was 7r> cents\na ton. With the advent of the Great\nNorthern Into the district, this rato\nwas reduced from time to time, until\ntoday the rate is less than __ cents a\nton. On a dally output of 3,000 tons,\nwhich the Granby mines has now, or\nwill soon reach, this will mean a direct\nsaving of $1,500 a day to that company\nalone. A saving of 50 cents a ton! Only\nthose who know the small margin of\nprofit. In exploiting these inexhaustible\nmines of low grariu ore can fully appreciate. Similar reductions were made\nand are being made in connection with\nthe haulage of the large quantities of\ncoal and coke used at the Boundary\nmines and smelters. The salvation of\nBoundary district depends npQU lew\ntransportation rates and mining companies are extending Unlr opera!'ens\nstrong In the assuran:e that so long\nas ihe Great Northern rntlwty i.a i competitor of the Canadian Pacific railway,\nin the Boundary they will always Hve\nreasonable freight putes.\nA greater Boundary district Is anxiously watting for a railway. The trend\nof mining greatness in British Colu-\nblii has been westwards. In the early\nfill's Silvery Slocan was the Mecca of\nthe argonauts, Later on the Hossland\ncamp attracted the miner and the capitalists. Today the boundless Boundary\ndistrict eclipses Rossland and the day\nIs not, far distant when Similkameen\nwill be the banner mining district of\n.British Columbia.\nThe politicians and the charter mongers built many railways on paper into\nIhe Similkameen. The Great Northern\nIs now prepared to build a bona fide\nrailway from the Boundary to the coast.\nContracts Will be let in a few days to\nconstruct the road to Princeton and\nlater on this road will be continued to\nthe const. The railway will be built\nunder the V. V. & E, charter. Tliere is a\npossibility that Ibis charter is defective\nin minor details. A measure was recently Introduced in the dominion parliament to cure these defects. No sooner\nwns this done than the same old flag\nwaved; the same old newspapers are i\npublishing the same old arguments and\nlhe same old bogie man is masquerading in the same old. clothes.\nIn no other portion of the dominion\nwould Ihe suggestion, that trade Is to\nhe regulated by destroying railway\ncompetition, be tolerated for a single\nmoment. Surely It Is not unreasonable\nto demand for the district most directly\ninterested the same freedom accorded\nother portions of the dominion in the\ndevelopment of a railway policy. Tn\nthe carrying and assembling of our\nminerals, whether or not tbey conform\nto political Imaginary lines; grades\nare more important than distance and\nwe must adapt our policy to tbe physical features of the country. We must\nnot try to ship low grade ore on high\ngrade railways. If no obstructions are\nplaced In the way of railway builders\nI hoy will follow the natural conformation of lhe country. The construction\nof q railway from Robson to Midway\nby lhe Canadian Pacific railway shows\ngreat pluck and enterprise In railway\nbuilding, but it Is not the way to carry\nore. From Robson to Bull Dog tunnel,\na distance of 31 miles and down to Cascade, 24 miles, there is a 2 per cent\ngrade, and from Grand Forks to Eholt.\nthere is a similar grade. On a grade\n, of tl-2 per cent an ordinary locomotive can easily haul 40 cars of ore, On\na grade of 1 per cent this Is reduced to\n20 cars and on a grade of 2 per cent to\n-10 cars. One Canadian Pacific engine\ncan haul from Fernle to the Boundary\nsmelters about 10 cars of coke; a Great.\nNorthern engine of the same power\nhauls from Fernle to the Boundary\nsmelters 30 cars. This difference In\ngrades Is responsible for the reduced\nprice paid by the Granby company today. 1\nThe policy of the Canadian Pacific\nrailway and Its satelliies asks us to\npursue in British Columbia the Chinese\nlio]icy of the \"closed door.\" Sucb a\npolicy will leave many of our mining\nproperties undeveloped.\nThe contour of the country In Southern British Colucmbla shows the need\nof southern connection. The valleys\nrun north and south and profitable\ntransportation lines must conform to\nihem. If our southern boundary were\nthe 45th parallel of latitude Instead of\nthe 49th, ns it should be, we could have\nhad our own line east and west running Its branches up these valleys and\nassembling ores where they would be\nmost profitably smelted. But it ia no\nuse to cry over what we have lost.\nWe must make tbe best of what we\nhave. We protest, against southern\nBritish Columbia being the victim of\n(he folly of forcing railway lines to\nconform to political boundaries, If we\n!ire afraid to allow railway competition\nin Southern British Columbia we will\ndrive off capital and our undeveloped\nmines wll] remain dormant. We must\nco around mountain ranges, not across\nihem and this can be done onlv bv allowing the V. V. & R to build. Mr.\nHill asks for neither subsidy nor favor\nof any kind; all he asks Is to he left\nfree to give Southern British Columbia\nthe best, lines on the lowest grades and\nthus 'nsure low transportation charges.\nSurely those who bave faith In the\nprovince of British Columbia should\nnot. he found advocating s policy of\nrailway monopoly, of excessive railway\ncharges, of increased cost of production\nand of discouragement to those who are\ndeveloping the natural resources of the\nprovince,\nTo my mind It lfl Insulting to the\nintelligence and independence of the\npeople of British Columbia, that it Is\nthe only portion of the dominion where\nthe advocates of a policy of Canadian\nPacific railway monopoly would dare\noppose tbe construction of a railway\nfrom the American side. Today. In\nconjunction with T). C. Corbin, the Canadian Pacific are building a feeder from\nIhelr Crow's Nest road to Spoknne,\nWashington. The same patriotic, truly\nCanadian railway company has its feeder to Seattle, to St. Paul, Minnesota, tn\nDuluth. through Maine, in fact at every\nnolnt. alnmr tbe boundary line where\nbusiness offers. It is all right for the\nCanadian Pacific railway to make American connection but all wrong for the\nGreat Northern to make Canadian connections. The dominion government\nheartily subsidized Mackenzie & Mann'*\nrailway In the Rainy River district.\nThis railway runs ln nnd nut along the\nInternational  boundary    line  to avoid\ndifficulties of construction.   Parliament\nI and the country endorsed this project.\nTlie Michigan Central runs Its llnai\nthrough Ontario and there is even I\ntunnel between Sarnla aud Port Huron\nto facilitate Ihis awful druinage of Canadian wealth.\nIf ibis new principle of political economy be sound, lt should apply with\nequal force to water transportation and\nthe dominion government should be\ncensured for subsidizing a line of\nsteamers lo drain Canadian wealth into\nI lie capacious maw of the greedy Republic of Mexico, The subsidy to the\nPacific Coast Steamship Company, who\nhave a line of steamers engaged in this\nunpatriotic business of building up\nSan Francisco at the expense of Canada,\nshould be cancelled and the trans-Atlantic steamers of the Canadian Pacific railway, which are building up\nChina and Japan at the expense of Canada, should be withdrawn. Even James\nDunsmulr should not be permitted to\nsend tbe product of his mines to San\nFrancisco. But why multiply these absurdities. The fight of todajL is tho\nfight of 1898 over again. It. is a fight\nfor that railway competition which is\nnot denied other portions of the dominion and it is a fight. In which it is not\nunreasonable to expect all good British\nColumbians and all British Columiblu\npapers to unite.

Seven crown witnesses were examined yesterday. \\V.\nA. Macdonald, K. C, appearing for the\ncrown, intimated that, he had other witnesses to call. Many will he called for\nthe defence. In securing a Jury for\nthe case 30 names were called, an unusual number of challenges being entered, most of them hy counsel for the\nprisoner.\nThe grand jury returned true hills in\nthe three criminal cases referred to\nthem. Thoy made no general presentment, assigning n_ a rea^pn for the unusual omission, the fact that the recommendation In favor of a new court\nhouse which lias been the first clause In\nthe presentment of many successive\ngrand juries has heen persistently ignored by the government.\nThe court assembled at 11 a.m. The\nfollowing grand jurymen answered the\nroll: H. E. Croasdaile, W. A. Jowett,\nJ. II. Wallace, J. Hamilton, F. J.\nDeane, J, Ii. Slocks, J. M. Lay, W. W.\nBeer, F Irvine, L. Mill. R. Helme, ,!.\n\\V. Cockrlll and G. W. Richardson. H.\nE. Croatsdalle was chosen as foreman.\nHis lordship, Mr. Justice Morrison,\n\u2022briefly addressed the grand jury. He referred to the criminal rharges as heing\nfow hut all of grave character. He explained that the jury's task was only\nto decide whether the evidence was of\neuch a nature as to warrant, a trial. He\nthought that there would be little difficulty in reaching a decision, and asked\nthat, If posallde, the cases be reported\nupon in the order In whicli they were\npresented, Roberts, Kern and Atkinson.\nW. A. Macdonald, K.C, presented a\nformal motion for the transfer of the\nKera case from Yalo to Kootenay county.\nS. S. Taylor, K. C, assented. , The\ngrand Jury then retired.\nThe list of the petit Jury was then\ncalled and all answered their names.\nBy the time it was complete, tho grand\njury returned a true bill In the case of\nthe king against Roberts. Roberts was\nthen conducted to the dock and his trial\nbegan.    S. S. Taylor, for the accused,\nentered a plea of not guilty.\nAfter three panels were exhausted a\npetit jury was secured, consisting of C.\nMcLaughlin, .1. Jackson, J; Watson, A.\nT. Walley, C. 12. McLaughlin. T. A.\nMills, H. Ames, R. S. Clarke. .1. H.\nWard, F B tlibbs, J. H Love, and F.\nHeamnn, 11. Ames was elected foreman.\nAll witnesses in the case for Ihe crown\nand for lhe accused were naked io withdraw. W. A. Macdonald (hen began\nhis presentation of the case to the jury.\nlit- outlined ihe case as il would he\npresented by \"the crown: On tin* 17th of\nJanuary last M. S. Davys, with W. E.\nC. Koch and others, were drinking at.\nthe bar of the Victoria hotel In Silver-\nton. A shot passed the bead nf M. S.\nDavys. Footprints were found at the\n.spot from whicli it was believed lhat\nthe shot had lieen fired. They had been\ntraced hy provincial constable J. T.\nBlack to the cabin of John.Roberls. The\nbullet that onlered the liotel was from\na 44-cnlIbre rifle. The next day bullets\nfor sucb a rifle were found near Roberts'\ncabin. Roberta produced a 22 rifle and\ndenied having a 44. A man named\nCleves swore that; be saw Roberts' flre.-\nAfter the preliminary examination another witness. John Smilh, declared that\nhe also saw Roberts with a rifle, In tbe\n\u25a0act. of firing.\nH. T. Twigg was (he first witness\ncalled for the crown. He was sworn\nand deposed tliat. be was a public land\nsurveyor. He had made n plan of the\nscene of tbo .shooting and of the town-\nsite of Silverton. He identified as his\ntho plans produced nnd declared them\ncorrect. \u25a0 He staled lhat. from a spot\nmarked A. the supposed spot from which\nthe shot was fired, one could roc into\nthe bar-room of the Victoria hotel. The\nplans were shown to the members of\nthe jury and explained to them in detail.\nCross-exam filed by S. S. Taylor,\nthe witness said that the plans were\nmade under instruction of W. Bullock-\nWebster, He explained that Ihe point\nmarked A. was on the projection of n\nline joining the cenlres of Ihe holes\nmade by tbe bullet that was flred. The\npoint A on lhat. line was marked under\ninstruction of constable J. T. Black.\nHe admitted that there were trees ln\nfront of tbe Victoria hotel, and posts,\nabout six indies square, at the edge of\ntbe sidewalk supporting n veranda. Tbo\nbullet hnd passed through a pane of\nglass and n partition and lodged In the\nplaster of a wall. It bad travelled 181\nfeet lo ihe pane of glass, and 117 feet Inside the building. To a question as to\nthe efl'ecl on a bullet of penetrating\nglass aud partition, tho witness replied:\n\"I don't know. I never fired Into a\nbuilding.\" He said that from tbe point\nmarked A, he could not identify a person, but cotlld distinguish moving figures within Ihe bar-room. The head\nand shoulders would be visible. The\npath of vision through lhe room would\nbo eight or nine Inches wide. He was\ncertain that, no post or tree Intervened.\nThe witness was shown photographs\nof the Victoria hotel and admitted them\nlo be correct, but ho was not. sure of tho\ndirection from which they were tnken.\nMr. Taylor undertook to establish them\nas correct from the point A. The witness then pointed out the back door of\nCloves'   building   from   which   Cleves\nstated he saw Roberts. The distance,\nhe said, was 36'feet. He further staled\nthat he knew Roberts by sight and knew\nthe location of his cabin in relation to\ntbe road from Silverton tu New Denver,\nThe court then adjourned until 2\no'clock. On resuming M. S. Davys was\ncalled for the crown. He told briefly of\nbis milting operations near Silverton.\nHe had always had difficulty In retaining white cooks. On the 21st of December, 1904, he look a Chinese cook to the\nEmily Edith mino. The act had caused\ncomment. John Roberts had urged\nhim to dismiss the Chinese cook and\nbad said: \"If you don't, we'll Rx you.\"\nTiie words were accompanied wilh a\nbard look.\nOn the 17th of January, 11)05, M. S.\nDavys returned to Silverton. He went\nto the Victoria hotel, kept by Harry\nThorburn. He wished to see George\nAylard on 'business connected with the\nLornn Doone. He met him nt the office\nof C. T. Cross, near the wharf, and\nwalked with him as far as tbe Bosun\nmine, along tbe New Denver mad. He\nheard ibe boat coming back from New\nDenver, and returned to Silverton to\nmeet William Hunter. He reached the\nVictoria hotel and sat down on the veranda with an employee of tho hotel,\nnamed Murray. Roberts approached\ndiagonally across ibe Btreet from tbe direction of the wharf. As he passed in\nthe llghl Mr. Davys saw some) king\nhanging down behind him thai looked\nlike braces or a strap. Roberts went to\ntho corner of the hotel and leaned over\na fence for a minute. He then passed\nthe hotel, and asked Murray if he had\nseen Koch. Roberts then stopped aud\nlit his .pipe. There was then nothing\nbanging down behind him.\n,1. C. Wilson and Harry Thorburn\nthen appeared and passed into the hotel,\ntbe latter remarking: \"Koch is Inside.\"\nM. S. Davys then said: \"Let us go tn\nand have a drink,' 'and the party entered the liotel. He saw Roberts then silling down near the door. W. E. C.\nKoch then introduced Davys nnd Jasper\nKing. As they had known eacli other\nbefore, he and King began talking of\n(dd limes. Davys was standing with\nhis back to the bar. He dill not see\nRoberts go out, but soon noticed that\nhe was gone.\nAbout ten minutes later a report rung\nout, and he fell a slinging sensation, ns\nsomething went past his face. He looked towards tbe door. S. Dalgle was\nsiting there. Above Dnlgie's head was a\nhole in the glass. He saw a bole in the\nplaster also. Thorburn, Koch, Wilson,\nDominique and himself searched and\ntraced tho path of the bullet, from tbe\n: bole in the glass through the partition.\nI Davys then asked Thorburn to send for\nthe police, which the latter did.\n: To S. S. Taylor, Mr. Davys said that\nhe had been mining as superintendent\nand manager in British Columbia since\n: 1888. He knew something of public\nopinion  on  lhe question of employing\n1 Chinese.     He knew thnt.   he   wns the\n! firs! to take a Chinaman Into a mining\ncamp near Silverton, and that the public\nt opinion of Silverlon was opposed to that\nstop.   That had occurred in December.\n, It was known to the citizens and to the\n, miners' union. There was disorderly\ndemonstration.   Roberta was there nt\nthe time. Mr. Davys had never known\nRoberts to be guilty of violence. He\nhad no police escort when taking in the\nChinese cook. He had passed Roberts'\ncabin on that occasion; il wns In Ibe\nbush and Isolated. Roberts did not\nspeak of the Chinese I rouble to him\nthen.\nThe evening of December 2,'trd lie returned to Silverton about 8.30 o'clock,\nlie bad n long conversation wild Roberts and Frank Ryan In the Victoria\nhotel. It began, and for a long while,\nremained quite friendly, li was mainly\nou lhe Chinese question. Towards lhe\nclose Roberts advanced to strike him,\nbut was stopped by Thorburn. During\nthe conversation Davys said thai when\nbe bad 10 men al work he would send\naway tbe Chinamen. He bad then only\nthree men working. Roberts and Ryan\ntold him dial. Ibey would see what\ncould be done. Tin- next day tliere was\na public meeting in Silverton at whicli\nMr. Davys was condemned for employing a Chinaman. The only disorder at\nthe meeting was caused by a member\nof the miners' union named Iloskins. A\nmotion for a committee to confer with\nMr. Davys was offered hut not put to\nthe meeting. A motion denouncing the\nemployment of Chinese was put and\ncarried.\nAt that point the grand jury entered\nand reported true bills in the cases of\nFera and Atkinson. Foreman H. E.\nCroaisdaile made a statement that no\ngeneral presentment would he offered\nbecause successive recommendations for\na new court, house bad been ignored.\nHis lordship briefly thanked the grand\njurors for ther promptness. He expressed regret that no provision had yet been\nmade for a new building In a city wliich\nbe believed, was second only lo Vancouver as a legal cenire in tbe province. He Intimated that judges might\nrefuse to hold court in the present unsanitary building.\nS. S. Taylor resumed his cross-examination. Mr. Davys told of bis leaving\nSilverton on December '2-11 h. Roberth\nwas on tbe wharf, and used ihe words:\n\"If you don't we'll fix you.\" Mr. Davys\nthought lhe words and looks were\nthreatening. He had not told nil at the\npreliminary hearing; he hnd merely answered questions. He had answered\nRoberts' quosl ton: \"A re you taking\nthat Chinaman away,\" with a sharp:\n\"That's my business.\"\nS. S. Taylor referred to the reply as\nimpertinent. Tbe judge cautioned the\nwitness againsi hasty admissions.\nTelling of the events of January 17,\nMr. Davys said that the road he travelled was well beaten. He declined to\nadmit that all footprints were alike.\nThere were no electric lights but the\nstj-eot was fairly light, He told again\nof Roberts' leaning oVer the fence. Ho\ndid not see anything left there. Roberts\nspoke io Murray as he passed lhe hotel.\nbut not to him (Davys), lu the hotel\nRoberta wns quiet. Those in the barroom at the lime of the BUOOting were\nDaigle, Dominique, Wilson, Koch, King,\nDavys, Tborburn and Brooks. Roberts\nwent, out il few minutes before or nfter\nsix. Tiie shooting occurred before 10\nminutes past six.\nDavys admitted that he promptly\nthought of Roberts and said so. He\nmade no threats.   He was not drinking\nat I bo time, but standing with his back\nto the bar, with a lamp above his head.\nTo W. A. Macdonald, Mr. Davys said\nthere was no difficulty seeing lnlo lhe\nbar from the glass door, which was\npierced by the bullet. \u00ab.\nC. T. Cross, mining and real estate\nbroker, told of the conversation between\nRoberta and Davys on tbe wharf on\nDecember 24th. He saw Roberts speak.\nDavys replied and walked on. Roberts\nfollowed and spoke over Davys' shoulder. He thought Roberts' expression unsatisfactory bul did not hear the words.\nTo S. S. Taylor be said he did not remember Roberts making any remark as\nhe returned from tlie wharf. There was\nno appearance of intended violence Mien.\nHe had known Roberts for eight years.\nThey were very friendly, being from the\nsame locality in England. For 18\nmonth's be was accountant and Roberts\nforeman of the Galena Farm. He believed his reputation to he good. He\nknew of only one act. of violence.\nThere was a slight ripple of amusement as Mr. Taylor referred to one\nfight in which the prisoner had taken\npari, which was not the same as the\nono remembered by tbe witness.\nG. Slilwell, foreman of the Hewitt\nmine, was on the wharf on December\n24th. He heard the first question of\nRoberts: \"Are you taking that Chinaman out?\" and Davys' reply: \"That's\nmy business.\" He wus not near enough\nto hear the rest.\nW. E. C. Koch went to Silverton\nwith Davys on January 17th. He knew\nRoberts by sight, but had no appointment and no business with him. They\nwere In the hotel together but Roberts\ndid not speak to him. He described tlie\npositions of the party at the bar as Mr.\nDavys had done. Roberts had left the\nroom before the shot was flred. Koch's\nflrst Idea was that some one had flred\ncarelessly.\nTo S. S. Taylor he said that careless\nshooting was very uncommon, and few\ncarried firearms in Silverlon.\nJ. C. Wilson was one of the party In\ntho bar-room. He beard no report but\nheard the bullet crash through the partition. He bad no further knowledge of\nthe case.\nSanford Daigle, of Synaret, Washington, was In Silverton on January 17th,\nand In the Victoria hotel. .He has\nknown Roberts for six year* He was\nsitting near Roberts in the hotel. He\nheard Roberts say something about\nKoch, that-if one wished to work for\nKoch, be must lie a Chinaman and wear\na queue. He thought Scolty Murray\nmight have heard Roberts also.\nHo thought Koch did not hear. Roberts went out alone. Five minutes later\nthe shot rang out, and plaster felt on\nDalgle's hut. from a hole In the wall\nJ ii ki over his bead.\nTo S. S. Taylor, tbe witness said thai\nto reach his cabin and return within\nthe time that passed, Roberts would\nhave had to run fast. He,.Dalgle, was\nwaiting to see Koch on business. He\nbad not told all he knew at the preliminary hearing; he had merely answered the questions put to him.\nAt. Ihe conclusion of Dalgle's evidence\nW. A. Macdonald staled that the examination of his next witness, Thorburn,\nwould take some time, and the court\nthereupon adjourned until 10.:10 this\nmorning.\nA SIGNIFICANT\nTRADE MARK\nTRADE\nMARK\nIndelibly branded on lhe sole of\nall -LECKIIC BOOTS.\" It stands\nfor \"BETTER FOOTWEAR FOR\nTHE SAME MONEY\"\u2014honest western footwear, made by western\npeople for western trade.
