Clifford Sifton delivered his,\ncriticism on the reciprocity agreement\nproposals framed by his old time colleagues of the cabinet.\nWhen he rose to speak, there was\nno applause because Liberals anticipated that he would criticize the agreement, but he got plenty of It before he\nsat down, one and one-half hours later,\nfully 90 per cent of it coming from the\nopposition benches. The member for\nBrandon regretted the necessity of difference from a leader he followed for\nso many years. He was quite as emphatic in his opposition to the agreement, however, as have been the leaders of the opposition and while he added many new arguments he also adopted some of the arguments which came\nfrom the other side of the house,\nthese Included the expression of the\nbelief that the pact might lead to commercial union and to annexation. He\nwas quite as suspicious as Mr. Borden\nor Mr. Foster of American advances and\nargued that we should continue to\nmaintain a protective policy against the\nI'nlted States and likewise against\nGreat Britain to a point necessary to\nprotect Canadian Industries. In regard\nto the farmers he argued that free natural products would do them more harm\nthan good.\nHon. Sidney Fisher, minuter of agriculture, replied In a four-hour speech\nreplete with figures designed also to\nshow that the member for Brandon did\nnot understand the application of the\nagreement to the farming industries.\nHe caused laughter by remarking that\nMr. Sifton talked farming like a lawyer.\nBad for British Columbia.\nMr. Fisher dealt with practically\nevery argument advanced by his former colleague and said that in practically every argument Mr. Sifton had used\nhe was wrong. He argued that the\nagreement would be a fine thing tor the\nfarming interests with the exception of\nthe British Columbia fruit growers\nwho might suffer for a time and would\nprovide a market tor the future which\nwould be Invaluable to Canada.\nW M.

Clifford Sifton, Manitoba Liberal Leader at Ottawa.\nSince 1897 there had not been so lm- in favor of reciprocity with the United\nportant an alteration of the tariff pro- States for the last 40 years.   I do not\nposed;' but when alterations of so ex- know of any warrant at all for the\ntensive a character were made it had statement that both parties or that one\nalways been customary to make a very of the parties for the last 40 years has\nthorough and complete inquiry of the been in favor of reciprocity.\nMr. Sifton'i Speech\nMr Sifton, member for Brandon,\nrose. He said he had found this to be\nthe most important question which had\ncome ibefore the house since he was\nfirst elected. He would frankly say\nthat the result of his investigation had\nbeen to lead blm to the conclusion that\nhe could not follow the leader of the\nparty with which he had been identified all his life. ThiB difference waa\nto him of an exceedingly painful character. With members of the government he had always been on the closest\nterms both politically and socially and\naway back in tbe county of Brandon a\ngreat many men.who had been his supporters for 23 years would find great\ndifficulty in understanding why he\nfound it necessary to vote against his\nparty. They would understand, however from these circumstances that his\nconvictions upon tbe subject were extremely strong.\nTwenty years ago, said Mr. Sifton,\nthe Liberal party had as Ub policy unrestricted reciprocity. He had taken an\nactive part in that campaign and to the\nbest of his ability he endeavored to\n.convince the electors that it was a\nwise and prudent policy, but before\nthe campaign was over he had succeeded In convincing himself that the Liberals were wrong. From that time on\nbis views bad undergone a gradual but\nsteady and certain change. When the\ntariff was proposed In 1897 .he was satisfied that it was poBslbly the best policy Canada could adopt. He affirmed\nthat bis opinion on this subject was\nnot spasmodic or suddenly formed but.\nwas mature conviction which came to\nhim after 20 years of close contact with\nthe affairs of Canada. Men In Canada\ndid not leave their political party for\nsmall reasons, but he said when one's\nparty is led to apply principles which\nare of fundamental and far reaching\nimportance, affecting the whole national construction, and one feels that he\ncannot conscientiously adopt or follow\nthese principles, then his party allegiance Is necessarily dissolved and if. he\ndesires to retain his own self respect.\nIt becomes absolutely necessary for\nblm to decline to follow that of which\nhe does, not approve. \"That Is the\nposition In which I find myself today\nand however painful the process may\nbe, I take the only course which I can\ntake and retain my self-respect.\"\nNo Details Given\nHe considered there was a little fault.\nto be found with Mr. Fielding's conduct\nof   the   debate for the government.\nmost expert and detailed character.\nOtherwise it was impossible to know\nwhat they were doing. When other\ncountries undertook this work such enquiries were made. At the last German revision of their tariff 20,000 ex\nHad No Mandate\n\"There could be no doubt that the\nLiberal party was in favor of it 20\nyears ago and in the platform of 1903\nthere was what might be called a look\nat reciprocity while in 1898 the gov-\nperts were employed for the benefit not'ernment attempted to get some meas-\nonly of the government, but for the|ure of reciprocity from the United\nbenefit of the parliamentary body states, but there was equally no doubt\nwhich had subsequently to act upon that when the Joint high commission\ntheir report.

He\nNo  Constitutional  Warrant\nHe did not think    that    principles\nwhich often applied, applied   In   this\nventured the opinion that there was caB6i 0ur governments were not elect-\nnot a single member of tbe bouse out-, ed t0 d0 8pecIflc thlng8t they were\nside of the government who knew ielected un(jer a very wIde ByBtem of\nwhether he was in possession of the responsibility and great discretion was\nwhole Information or not. There was\nno comparative statement of prices and\nthe whole related to markets nnd\nprices. It would have been a comparatively sma** matter for a party ot experts to have got a comparative list of\nprices of the principal commodities In\ncountries concerned but they had not.\nNeither had they any Information with\nregard to the production of various\ncommodities by these countries. Generally this had been done and generally\nsome member of the government hna\npieced before them the case of the government or the proposMs thai had been\nmade. Mr. Fielding, he Bald, never\nspoke except with ability and cleverness but in introducing these resolutions neither he nor the minister of\ncustoms had undertaken to argue tha\nmerits of the proposals in detail. If\nthe house desired to know just what he\nmeant by this criticism, then look at\nthe speech which Mr. Fielding had delivered on the Grand Trunk Pacific\nresolutions, or at one of the speeches\nwhich Mr. PaterBon had delivered in\nthe budget debates. They would see\nthere the kind of cas3 which th: ministers could make when they desired\nto do It and had the material. \"I\n\u25a0would conclude,\" he said, \"that either\nour friends of the go 'ernment have not\nmade the Investigation and do not possess facts, or else those facts do not\nhear out the contentions which they\nput forward.\nHave Not Been In Favor\n\"I desire to say,\" he continued, \"that\nI dissent altogether from the proposition that everybody in Canada has been\nvested in the house of commons and\nIn the government in connection with\nthe transaction of new business, business which was not discussed when\nthey were before the electors. They\nmight do a great many things that\nwere not discussed when they were\nbefore the electors, but they might not\nconstitutionally or properly do everything and he ventured to say that when\nthe fiscal policy of a country had been\nthoroughly canvassed and settled, discussed, debated and approved in the\nyears 1900, 1904 and 1908, there was no\nconstitutional warrant for members of\nthe government reversing that policy\nradically without any consultation and\npractically without the knowledge of\nthe people.\n\"There is,\" said Mr. Sifton, \"a discretion vested In the government but\nIt must be remembered that the discretion exercisable by those who occupy important positions under our\nform of government is not an arbitrary\npersonal discretion, it is a constitutional discretion which must be exercised\nin accordance with the principles of\nthe constitution and the constitutional\nrights of the people they represent. I\ndo not believe that in the recent history of Canada anything has happened\nwhich has given the thinking people\nof Canada so painful and bo sudden a\nshock as the sudden realization that\nfour or five gentlemen who by reason\nof their ability, their years of service\nand their high position in their party,\nare In control of the affairs ot a Do*\nminion political party, suddenly of their\n(Continued on Page Four.)\nWhat is undoubtedly the most important move in respect to the famouB\nSheep creek gold camp of the last two\nyears, ls just recorded, with the Mother\nLode mine on Dominion mountain aB\nthe basis of the transaction. This famous mine, which haB heen Bteadlly developed for over two years under the\nMcMartin regime, la being converted into- a company proposition, the company\nbeing the Mother Lode Sheep Creek\nMining company, incorporated last week\nunder the laws of the state of Maine,\nand which will be duly registered to do\nbuafness in British Columbia. The capital stock is fixed at $1,250,000, and the\ncompany will in effect be a close corporation, John McMartin, of New York,\nand Cornwall, Ont., having the principal interest. None of the stock will\nbe offered in thia province. Mr. Mc-\nMartin is now transferring the Mother\nLode group of mineral claims, with mm\nsite, improvements, and water lfcense,\nto the company.

Some small development was done on the property\nbefore it was bonded by H. M. Billings,\nThomas Bennett, and their associates,\nto J. L. Warner and F. M. Black, in\n1908. for $100,000. In the fall of that\nyear Messrs. Warner and Black re-\nbonded the property to John McMartin,\ntbe two bonds amounting to $175,\nboth having since been paid off. The\nprincipal vein of the property was discovered under the McMartin regime,\nand William Watson, consulting engineer and also holder of a minor interest\nin the property, has developed this by\nfour drifts, by which, It Ib claimed, $1,\n000,000 worth of free milling gold ore Is\nnow blocked out. There has also been\nsome development on the smaller veinB,\nand the past season the wagon road\nwas carried on to the mill site. Mr.\nWatson spent the past fall In designing\nthe mill, extensive tests of the ore having been made in San Francisco, and it\nis understood that construction work\nwill start very shortly.\nMuch of the ore on the dump is\nshipping ore, and the lowest tunnel on\nthe main vein, a'cross-cut, gives a depth\nof some hundreds of feet. From the\nNugget mine on the summit, to the\nQueen mine, tn the bed of the creek, a\nseries of gold veins have been shown to\nexist, none of which have yet been bottomed.\nThe object of the present move Is apparently to facilitate the development\nof the property. In the direction of\nadequate development, the future of\nthe Mother Lode seems now to be\nassured.\nFIRST DISTRICT\nMiss Flossie Edwards Nakusp   1,932,700\nMiss Nora Kenny Golden  1,886,700\nMrs. Fred Cormier  Revelstoke  1,863,900\nMrs. B.

Ptr\nPresent Year Will Be One\nof Progress for Princeton\nIs Centre of Remarkably Rich Mineral Territory - Many Mines\nDeveloped\u2014Important Agricultural Resources-\nTransportation Facilities\nIn response to a request for some in-1\nformation concerning Princeton and the I\nparts of the Similkameen district tributary to it, W. C. McDougall, who has,\nfor years been actively associated with I\nthe development of that part of tbe\nprovince, lias kindly contributed the\nfollowing:\nPrinceton, situated at the junction of\nthe Tulameen and Similkameen rivers,\nis the headquarters for an extensive region rich in natural resources. The\nImmediate vicinity of the town is underlain by deposits of coal, while adjoining and surrounding the coal basin\non all sides, occur extensive deposits\nof cop per* gold, silver-lead and zinc ores.\nThe central position of Princeton In\nrelation to Its important surroundings,\nand the ease with which it can be\nreached from a large area of territory,\nassures an expansion of industry and\npopulation within a short period\u2014in\nfact conditions are already much improved over the position as It was six\nmonths ago, aud there seems good reason to expect that lftll will see this\nplace become one of the busiest of the\nprovincial towns of British Columbia.\nDuring the past year the V. V. & E.\nrailway has been completed to Princeton and a daily service inaugurated,\nconnecting with Midway and Grand\nForks in the Boundary country and\nSpokane and all other Washington\npoints to the south. The completion of\nthe V. V. & E. railway through to the\ncoast will bring Princeton within 10\nhours of Vancouver, by railway. The\ndirect connection of Ibis place with\nVancouver, the chief commercial point\nin British Columbia, will add a stimulus to development and production\nhere that, will quickly cause Princeton\nand vicinity to rank among the important producing centres of the Northwest.\nDuring the past season a complete\nwaterworks system bas been installed\nthroughout ths town, sidewalks completed and many buildings of a substantial character erected. Business of all\nkinds is good am! confidence is felt by\neveryone that the coming year will be\nmarked by progress within the town\nand a comprehensive development of\ntbe neighboring coal and mineral deposits.\nDistrict Coal Resources.\nThe Princeton Coal and Land Co.,\nBid. (formerly the Vermilion Forks\nMining and Development Co., Ltd.) has\nopened a nine Toot seam of excellent\ndomestic coal, east of and adjoining\ntbe town, from which about 100 tons\nper day is now being shipped. This\nproperty is equipped with tipple and\nloading chutes, hoist, fans, etc. A short\nspur from the main V. V. & E. railway-\nline connects with tbe mine, giving\nfirst class shipping facilities. The demand foi1 tiie coal produced by this\ncompany is active and there is no doubt\nthat a much greater output will be\nreached by the company wrthin a comparatively short period.\nSinking Shaft.\nOn Hie west and adjoining the town\non that side, the Princeton and Chilliwack Coal company, under the management of William Wilson, Is sinking\na shaft on its property. A fine seam\nof coal has been opened here and the\nobject of the    present   working Is to\nUnderwear Underwear\nWe have a case of Men's Underwear, all wool\nribbed, which came to hand by mistake,   We\nare placing in stock\nAt Half Price\nWorth $1.50 per garment.

Wallace's Clearance Sale\n506 Baker Street Nelson, B. C.\nmake the coal accessible at an advantageous point for continuous production. The Bhaft on this property is\nnow nearing the coal and if the company shall continue its present energetic policy, Princeton will be flanked\nby shipping coal mines by midsummer\nof 1911.\nThe Osoyoos Coal company of Nelson and Princeton has opened a fine\nseam of coal on Its property situated\nabout four miles southwest of Princeton. This seam is f;\"> feet in thickness\nand the coal is similar in character to\nthat mined by the Princeton Coal and\nLand Co. near town. It is understood\nto be the intention of the Osoyoos company to commerce shipping coal at an\nearly date.\nReady for Operation.\nThe Princeton Collieries company organized by A. Laidlaw of Spokane, and\na number of Princeton parties, is now\npreparing for operation with the intention of developing one or more of the\nseams of excellent coal exposed on its\nproperty. This company is understood\nto be in a strong financial position, and\ntiie development of its extensive holdings will doubtless add greatly to its\nown as well as the general prosperity\nof this vicinity.\nCopper, Coal and Cement.\nThe United Empire Co., Ltd., in\nwhich Spokane capital has lately become interested, is operating under tbe\ndirection of E. P. Giallac. The holdings of tliis company are unique, inasmuch as they have opened both coal\nand an extensive deposit or copper-gold\nore within the boundaries of their property, and within two and one-half\nmiles of Princeton. The coal seams,\nwhich are strong and the coal of excellent domestic grade, give promise of\nmalting a large output. Temporary\nbunkers are being erected preparatory\nto shipping by hauling to the railway\nbv horse teams, during this winter\nsleighing. A spur from the\nmain V. V. & 13. railway line, one and\none-half miles long, will be put in shortly after which this valuable properly\ncan be operated extensively.\nTbe copper-gold ore body on the\nUnited Empire claims extends for nearly a mile in an easterly direction within the boundaries of the company's\nproperty. The ore lies In a contact between a lime diollte formation on the\nsoutli, and an altered, Igneous rock on\ntbe north. The ore at tbe surface consists of malachite and axurlte, changing\nto pyrites with depth. The value runs\nfrom one to ton per cent in copper and\nup to $- per ton in gold and silver. The\nore body shows on the surface from 50\nto 100 feet in width, but will probably\nbe found in a concentrated condition\nat depth. The utilization of this big\ndeposit of ore, which can be mined at\n'i minimum cost, will give an immediate impel us to tbe business and development of the surrounding district.\nThe British Columbia Portland Cement Co.. recently incorporated, secured tiie site for its works and its raw\nmaterials from the United Empire Co.\nThe former is near the United Empire\nmine, about two and one-half miles\nfrom Princeton. The spur from the V.\nV. & E. railway main line up One-mile\ncreek to the mine will pass through ibe\ncement, company's yards and give this\nimportant undertaking direct railway\nconnection with the entire country east\nand south as far as Spokane. The first\n500 barrels per day unit of tbe cement,\ncompany's plant, will be In operation\nearly In BUI. and the output will thereafter be increased to 1500 barrels per\nday.\nMaking of Cement,\nThe raw material for making cement,\nconsisting of limestone and clay, and\ncheap co;d for tbe roaBters, all occur\nIn close proximity to each other and\nwithin a few hundred yards of the site\nselected for the cement works. The\nground floor and other plans for the\nerection of the plant were recently laid\nout by W. .1. Budd. Timber will be cut\nand prepared this winter and the actual work of construction will be commenced as soon as woather conditions\nwill permit in the early spring.\nTransportation and Power.\nReferriiiu' again to railway connec*\nncc'ion with Princeton, it may be stated tbat the main Kettle Valley railway\nline will likely pass about six miles\nnorth of Princeton and a spur will\ndoubtless be constructed down One-\nmile creek to connect with that town.\nThis spur line will pass within a few\nhundred feet of the United Empire mine\nand the cement works on One-mile\ncreek.\nThe inevitable demand for cheap\npower which the active development of\n\"Us district must create, is to be met\nby Uie installation of an up-to-date\nbydro-eicctrie plant on the Slmllkameen\nriver, the site for tbe power house being about one mile below Princeton.\nSurveyors, etc., are now in progress and\ntiie construction of the plant will be\nundertaken during the coming year,\nA Large Copper-gold Field.\nVast and productive as the before-\nmentioned undertakings may become,\nthey cannot be expected to compare in\noutput with that of the copper-gold nnd\nother mineral areas adjacent and tributary to Princeton. Copper mountain,\n12 mlb's south from the town, contains\nImmense deposits of copper-gold ores,\nimt. will average at least $8 per ton,\nwhile mining, transportation and smelting charges should not exceed $5 per\n\u25a0 ton, and probably less If local reduction\nworks are put in to treat; the raw ores,\ninstead of their being shipped to dis-\nThe Miller says :\u2014\n\"SEAL OF ALBERTA\nis a better flour, because I follow\nit through every stage.

And that\nis why so many people say Seal of Alberta is a better\nflour.

Among the many well\nknown claims on Copper mountain may\nbe mentioned tbe Sunset, Oriole, Helen\nII. Gardner, Princess May Ada B, King\nSolomon, Triangle, Red Eagle and Princess Maud.\nSouth of those is situated the Reco\ngroup, which is under bond to J. C. Mc-\nCauley, who is pushing development\nvigorously by tunneling in order to\nopen at depth the main vein on the properly.\nOn the eastern slope of Copper mountain, along Wolf creek valley, E. Voigt\nlias opened quantities of ore that contains copper and gold values up to $10\nper ton. This important group of properties is being investigated by Boston\nand New York capitalists, who are evidencing much interest in the mineral\nareas of this district.\nWest of Copper mountain and separated from it by the Similkameen river\nis Kennedy mountain, well known as a\ncopper-gold camp. Here the Red Buck,\nBornite, Larclne, Moque, Peerless and\nNubian group of copper-gold bearing\nclaims, compare favorably with the\nbest on Copper mountain, both In extent of ore deposits and value.\nThree miles south of Kennedy mountain, on the west, side of the Similkameen river, near the mouth or Friday\ncreek, the Gladstone group has been\nopened by Mr. Wheeler of Conconully,\nWashington. This property is said to\ncontain an extensive body of three to\nfive per cent copper ore, and when a\nrailway shall be built up the Similkameen valley from Princeton, as ft assuredly will lie within a short time, tbe\nGladstone will contribute a heavy tonnage and add materially to the general\nprosperity of ihe district.\nBeyond Friday creek, at Roche river,\n(another branch of tbe Similkameen)\nthe Powell and Bonuievie properly is\nsituated. This contains a high grade\ncopper ore body, and only transportation facilities are required to admit of\nits taking rank among the most important high grade copper producing\nproperties in British Columbia.\nBeyond Itocbe river, the country\nabout the headwaters of the Slmllkameen has not been prospected to any\nappreciable extent, but there Is ample\nevidence that It is mineral bearing to a\nremarkable degree, through to Steamboat mountain on the Skagit river slope.\nNorthwesterly from there for nt least\n\u25a010 miles, along and near tiie summit of\nthe Cascade range, occurs an Immense\nmineral zone, that so far has hardly\nbeen \"scratched,'' let alone intelligently prospected. Some day perhaps In\nthe near future, this remarkable mineral territory will doubtless be renowned for its mines and mining activity.\nAlong the Old Hope Trail.\nTwenty miles from Princeton, along\nthe old Hope trail, on Whlpsaw creek\n(a tributary which joins the Slmllkameen river nine miles above Princeton);\nSpencer's camp and tbe properties of\nKnight and Bay are situated. Many\nother Individual claims and groups bave\nalso been located at this point during\ntbe past year. The ore in this camp Is\nsilver-lead, and r.ssay value ranging up\nto $100 per ton has been obtained. The\nSpencer and Lucky Pair (Knight and\nDay) property ledges are large and the\nore averages possibly -?30 to ?50 per\nton In lead and silver. Development\nhas not, however, been sufficient to\nenable a correct estimate of value to\nbe arrived at, but It appears abundantly evident, tbat rich and extensive ore\nbodies exist in this camp, which Is ac-\nceBsable from Princeton by nine miles\nof wagon road and 11 miles of trail.\nTho trail will, in all probability, be\nmode into a wagon road thia year, after which shipment of the higher grade\nore may he practicable by the V. V. &\nE. railway from Princeton.\nMining Properties Below Princeton.\nThe property of the Princeton Copper Co. of which Robert Stevenson, the\nwell known pioneer of Princeton, and\nDr. Blair of Spokane, are the principal\nowners, adjoins the V.' V. & E. tracks,\nfour miles below Princeton. A number\nof men have been engaged during the\npnBt year developing thia property, and\nhave taken out some good ore, a car\nload of which has been sacked preparatory to shipment, Mr. Stevenson has\ngiven this property his personal supervision during tbe past 18 months.\nNorth of the Princeton Copper Co.'s\nproperties, across the Slmllkameen\nriver, the Uhler nnd Cox group on\nHolmes mountain, deserves attention.\nIt consists of eight claims, through\nwhich run a number of veins contain*\nlng value in copper and gold, In fact\nsome of the highest grade ore produced\nIn this district has been obtained from\nthis group. The situation ls an excellent one, both as regards opportunities\nfor development and easy shipping\nfacilities.\nAlong the upper reaches of One-mile\ncreek numbers of claims have been located and samples of good grade copper-\ngold ore obtained. This section is as\nyet too new to admit of anything definite being arrived at relative to its prospective or definite vulue.\nGranite Creek and Tulameen.\nWest of Princeton, at Granite creek\nand Tulameen, also at Bear, Eagle,\nChampion and Kelly creeks, and in Summit camp occur promising ore exposures, in many instances equal, if not\nsuperior, to those occurring near Princeton. This important section embracing\nihe Granite creek bituminous coal field,\nis too extensive and varied In resources\nto be dealt with briefly, consequently\nnothing more than mere mention of the\nvast possibilities of tiie region adjacent\nto the Tulameen river and its numerous\ntributaries can be attempted here. It\nmay be slated, however, that when railway connection shall he established,\ngrading of the V. V. & E. line is already\ncompleted from Princeton IS miles west\nlo Tulameen City, the laying of tbe\nrails only being necessary to give tbe\nrequired transportation facilities, the\nmineral output from this important territory will figure big in tbe annual reports from British Columbia. This Is a\nforegone conclusion.\nSuch in brief is the mineral territory\nadjacent and tributary to Princeton.\nThe agricultural resources of this territory are important and w*ll contribute\nlargely to the general prosperity, but it\nto tiie vast mineral areas, aud their\nactive and vigorous development and\ncentralization we must look for tbe big\nthings which the future undoubtedly\nhas in store for tbe entire Sliullkameen\nvalley and Its neighboring districts.\nDEMONSTRATION\nFARM TRAIN\nWill  Visit Kootenay Towns\u2014From the\nWashington State College\u2014Domestic   Science   Exhibits   Also\n(Soecial io The Dally News.)\nPULLMAN, Wash., Feb. 28\u2014In response to an urgent invitation from\nthe minister of agriculture of British\nColumbia, the farm demonstration train\nwhich tbe Washington state college, in\nconjunction with the Great Northern,\nis to operate over the Spokane Falls &\n| Northern, will spend one day in the\ni British Columbia towns.

It !b close to the new B. C. Electric car line, via Burnaby lake from Vancouver,\nthrough New Westminster to Chilliwack and all points in the Fraser valley. This line will open on the\nfirst of March and will cause an- immediate advance in all property along the route.\nIt Ib close to most of theblg- manufacturing plants.\nThe whole addition lies with a gentle slope to the east, consequently every lot commands a splendid\nview overlooking the railroads and electric lines, the great manufacturing district ,the Fraser river and\nPort Mann.\nGraded Btreets and sidewalks are going in along two sides of the property, and Just across the street\nmany new buildings are being erected. There is no broken ground, or undesirable lot in the whole addition.\nSize of the lots, 35 by 110 feet to lane. Price only $350, {20 down and $10 per month with extension of\ntime if required..\nWe also guaranutee that If every lot is not found as represented in our printed matter, we will return amount paid in full with 10 per cent.\nRemember, the subdividing of land between the cities is practically over and if you wait until that time\narrives you will pay a much larger figure to the man who only owns one or two lots, and you will not get\nthe terms we can offer you now.\nWe firmly believe that property along this new car line will be double the price it is now in less\nthan one year from today.

Not one\nprominent Conservative has declared in\nIts favor. But the opposition Is by no\nmeaus from Conservatives only.\nA few days ago eighteen prominent\nLiberals issued a signed manifesto\nagainst the agreement. The signers included men like Sir Mortimer Clark,\nwho for party services to the Liberals\nwas a few years ago appointed lieutenant governor of Ontario, Mr. Eaton, Mr.\nE. A. Wood, Sir Edmund Walker and\nother men of similar standing.\nAt Liberal meetings for tbe election\nof executive officers old supporters of\nthe party have denounced the agreement, Sir George Ross, the last Liberal\npremier of Ontario lias spoken against\nit, and Mr. Sifton now comes out in utter and irreconcilable opposition.\nchange. Imports from Great' Britain\nhad grown from $29,000,000 in 1897 to\n$75,000,000 in 1910. The increase has\nbeen 20 per cent and it is no answer to\nthe argument that that preference was\nan effective preference to say that it\narose from other and very special reasons. We were importing large quantities of goods from the United States\nfor the benefit largely of our own manufacturers.   The British preference was\nlng up against tbe parliament buildings\nif they fell upon him.\nFruit Growers Injured\nMr. Sifton said be would not say\nanything about the fruit and vegetable\ngrowers. They would be injured. He\n\"would call the attention of the government to the full and careful presentation of the case made by Mr. Martin\nBurrell, Yale-Cariboo, which he said\nhad not been answered. No better, no\na substantial  preference and   it  had I fUn.er case nail ever been presented to\nbeen suggested that it was likely to the house while be had been a member\nbe substantially increased, but on that\npoint ,he wished to express himself\nclearly and fully. Nobody was a more\nenthusiastic supporter of the British\npreference than he when it waa adopted, but he thought there were HmltB to\nthe extent to which we may go even in\nof it. Surely when a case of that kind\nwas declared and no answer made he\nmust conclude that no answer could be\nmade. He mentioned also tbe case of\ntbe Quaker Oats establishment in Peterboro, the president of which had\ngiven an Interview, and which he had\ncutting the tariff of Canada in favor of (taken the trouble to verify.   The presl\nthe manufacturers of Great Britain as aent said that tnl8 busineBB consumed\nagainst    the    manufacturers   of    the\nUnited States.   He was not prepared to\nBay that he would support a substantial\nincrease in the British preference, made\n40 carloads of farm products per day,\nlargely for export and was the best\nkind of a factory for us to have.. He\nsaid that under conditions tbat would\nas he understood it, at the expense of | occur under the proposed tariff it would\ndeserving Canadian industries  for the lbe more convenient and economical for\npurpose of putting back into the hands\nof Great Britain trade which -we might\ntake away by this arrangement and\ngive to tbe United States. It was not\nsound business wisdom. He could not\nsee where  there  was possible  ground\nthem to manufacture In the United\nStates for export. There was no reason for an American company to say\nthey were against the agreement if they\nwere not,\nHe remarked that it was reasonable\nfor taking such steps as would result to 8Uppoge that many business men\nm the cosing up of Canadan:factories wlth money to inve8t ln factories\ndoing business at a small margin or would not readily decide to do so un*\nprofit so long as they were furnishing leM tbey got some definite assurance\ntheir goods to people of this country at  that what had happened in this parti\nHON. CLIFFORD SIFTON\nSPEAKS TO\nPEOPLE OF CANADA\n(Continued from  page  one.\nown motion without discussion, without debate, without the knowledge of\nthe country, commit the country to a\nradical change of fiscal policy. That is\nnot, l am bound to say, the doctrine of\nconstitutional government as it was\nthought in tbe Liberal party and I do\nnot think there could be a possibility\nof a more dangerous innovation.\"\nThe British Preference\nMr. .Sifton said the tariff of 1897 had\nas its most outstanding feature British\npreference, secondly a readjustment of\nduties which largely reduced the duties\nupon articles commonly used by the\nfarming community and thirdly, a substantial reduction In duties on raw materials of manufacturers. He would\nsay that the system of protection was\ncontinued by that tariff and that it did\nnot fully implement all the promises\nor suggestions which they, as members\nof the liberal party had made in regard\nto their future policy, when they were\nin opposition. However, the policy of\nthe tariff of 1897 was deliberately\nadopted and all the matters were canvassed . and considered before It was\nadopted. Tbey went to the country fn\n1900 upon that tariff and submitted it\nto the judgment of the people. The re*\nBUlt was that the judgment of the people upheld the government and declared tbat tbat tariff had been approved.\nMr. Sifton said that in his opinion it\nwas the best tariff that could have\nbeen adopted. Since then he had become thoroughly convinced that a tariff policy which embraced the principle\nof moderate protection applicable to\nall classes of the community, was the\nbeBt policy that the Dominion of Canada could adopt. It would be unsafe\nand   unwise  to  institute-a    radical\nreasonable prices.\nCanada Now Prosperous\nAs a result of the policy Canada had\nbeen following, the figures indicated,\ngreat progress and prosperity. In the\nlast 15 years Canada had prospered\nmore abundantly than any other country on the fact of the earth and the\nmain body of the people of Canada were\nbetter off than any other population\nof similar numbers that could be pointed out. Our farmers were prosperous,\nour laborers were well paid, there was\nno unemployment and no poverty except tbat due to drink, vice, sickness or\nother causes which did not depend upon jever, was not done.

It has been\nan unfailing remedy in our household ever\nsince I can remember, and lias outlived\ndozens of would-be competitors und Imitators.\"\nfarmers  were  receiving for their products.\nProsperity and Independence\nDiscussing the question as to whether\nthe prosperity Canada had enjoyed was\na sound prosperity, Mr. Sifton quoted\nfigures from a volume Issued under tbe\ndirection of the minister of labor, dealing with the subject of wholesale\nprices to show that in the period 1S90\nto 1910 there had been a rise in the\nvalue of grain and fodder and other\nproducts of the farm of 35.T per cent\nwhile the average increase of commo\ndltles purchased by the farmer was only\n;14.:i per cent. This he regarded as a\nconclusive demonstration that the urban community was not living al the\n'expense of the farmer, but the fanner\nhimself was getting more than his\nshare of the general prosperity of the\ncommunity. The local markets of Can-\n: ada took from SO to 00 per cent of\neverything raised by the farmer population and the rest was sent to the great\nj free markets of Great Britain from\n; which nothing but our own foolishness\nj could possibly exclude us. We had\nprosperity,, soundness and absolute independence in our markets. Tbe proposition was now made that we revolutionize the fiscal policy under which\nthese results were attained. He felt\nthat he waB within the mark In saying\nthat there would be very great dislocation and disturbance of business,\nthat there would be individuals wbo\nwould suffer very great loss and thnt\nfor considerable portions of the community the disturbance would be of a\nvery serious character. As to the general progress of Canada, however, the\nproduction of the country was so enormous and the development of our resources so wide tbat no possible mistake of fiscal policy could prevent\nthis country making enormous progress\nin future. Nevertheless the effect would\nbe serious. Some Industries would be\ndestroyed. There could be no doubt\nabout  that.\nPacking   Industry  Ruined\nThe meat packing industry would be\none which would be wiped out.

These\nproducts were now being sent to Great\nBritain, a staple, free, market, from\nwhich we had never been excluded, a\nmarket in whicli we were finding fresh\nextensions every year. We now proposed to ship our stuff to the United\nStates instead and to throw away all\nthe advantage of all the work that we\nhad done. Nobody knows how long the\nUnited States market would remain\nopen.\nA year ago the United States brandished a club over our heads in the form\nof a surtax, now tbey were said to be\nfriendly.

The city will expend $260,0C0, tho province will expend 1300,000 to $360,000, the Dominion government\nwill expend $26,000 to $60,000, the new hospital will cost $126,000, the combination traffic and railway bridge to be built by the Canadian Northern and\n\u25a0 the province will cost $260,000, the new Old Man's Home will cost $200,000, the C.P.R. bought $250,000 worth of property last year, and It ls stated\nthat they will spend $800,000 more in extending yards, enlarging shops, bundling new depot and other substantial Improvements, and the rest will be expended In new business blocks already tinder construction or with plans ready to build, and many new residences. That' Is why all eyes are on Kamloops\nthis year.   The people know that money Invested there will bring good returns.   One of the best buys ls lots in\nBECKMAN'S ADDITION\nlocated only 12 blocks from tho highest property In town, a beautiful building site with a magnificent view ot the entire valley. Lots will be on sale on\nMarch Cth, at $210.00 to $490.00; terms one-eighth down and the balance in monthly payments of 6 per cent of the amount due. Only one half of the\naddition will bo sold, the even numbered lots, ns the balance will be held until next year. This arrangement shows my faith ln the property, as I am\nsatisfied I will make more money by holding half of the lots. You can get in on the same baslB now. If this was not a gilt-edged Investment, those\nwho know me ln the Kootenays know I would not be handling It.

Well, I have seen premature conclusions reached before hi my 23 years\nin public life In which I have experience that not many men have had in\nrepresenting the same western constituency in all that time. During that\ntime I have seen a great many questions come up as to what was going to\nbenefit the farmer and I am not. sure\nthat when this comes to be fully discussed that the farmers of the west will\nbe imprevlous to reason and common\nsense and good judgment when thev\ncome to listen to reason.\n\"It was argued that this agreement\nwould give the westerner more for his\nwheat. Now comes J. J. Hill who says\nthat the duty does not make any difference on the price of wheat for while\nthe Dakota farmer gets a little more\nfor his wheat, that it is on account of\nlocal circumstances. Now, Mr. Hill is\neither right or wrong. IE right, the\nManitoba farmer will not. get any more\nfor his wheat with the duty taken off.\nIf he is wrong, if the duty does make a\ndifference, then as soon as the immense\nManitoba yield goes into Dakota, wheat\nthere goes down in price to export level\nand the Manitoba farmer does not get\nany more. There is no doubt about\nthat, it has happened already.\" Mr. Sifton quoted the New York Evening Post\nin confirmation of what he bad argued.\nThere is another factor in the shape\nof the 133,000,000 bushels oE surplus\nUnited States wheat that must be disposed of. This means that values must\ngo to export level at which a liberal disposition of wheat can be made. By the\nadoption of this treaty it is expected\nthat wheat will be kept on an export\nlevel most of the time. Mr. Sifton said\nthat the big ambition of past years had\nbeen to keep Manitoba wheat pure. Canada labored for weeks and months in\ndrawing up an inspection act that wheat\nshould be properly inspected, graded\njand placed pure on the British market\nI\nWhy?   Because Canadian wheat plac\ned pure on the British market brings\nfrom three to four cents more a bushel\nthan any other wheat on earth. As a\nresult wheat was put on the markets\npure for a year or so, but some one\nfound how to get, around the act and\nwheat went off again. He stated that\nthe terminal elevators are in the hands\nof men who buy and sell wheat themselves and are also handling millions\nof bushels of other men's wheat so\nthat grains have been mixed, grades\nhave gone down and farmers have lost\nmillions. He advocated, in passing, government control, not ownership, of elevators, so that control could be kept\nof the wheat until it reached Liverpool.\nHe argued that if we keep control of\nthe wheat we are able to give proper\ninspection and therefore get a better\nprice. Transportation will be improved,\nmeaning a reduction in rates, so that\ninstead of Canadian fanners getting a\nbonus of three cents a bushel for wheat\nsent through Canadian channels, as was\ntentively suggested by Mr. Ames, if it\nwere properly handled in the first place\nand the question of rates properly\n\"who\";dealt with, we would get for them a\njbouus of from six to seven cents more\n~~~       _ than anv other way.

The public may think I am not In earnest about\nthis. Sir, I would not break with any\npolitical party with which I have been\nassociated for 35 yeara, practically all\nmy life, if I were not very much it\nearnest about this matter.\n\"What Is the commonest phrase in\nthe mouths of the people of Canada?\nWe hear it from public men, we read\nit In editorials in newspapers, we see\nit In school hookB. It is 'bind the scattered provinces of Canada together,\nwould like to know if this treaty is\nproposed to bind together the scattered\nprovinces. It binds all right, but it\nbinds the other way, it binds Britisn\nColumbia to Oregon and Washington;\nft hinds the prairies and Ontario to tho\nstates immediately smith of them; il\nbindB the maritime provinces to thp\nNew England states. And we are asked to believe that a policy of this kind\nls a broad national policy and one that\nis to promote a strong nationality.\nIf It does not matter which way thp\ntraffic goes, why spend $30,000 and $fi0,-\n000 and $133,000 a mile duplicating the\nIntercolonial. For my part I see no\nreason. I take Hansard and read the\nstrong words of my right honorable\nfriend when he said that of all things\nthe policy of Canada Is that Canada\nshall be independent in a commercial\nway of the United States. He never\nsaid a word in the whole course of his\npolitical career with which I believed\nand believe more'fully than I did with\nthat statement. The difference between\nus is that, we both believed ft then and\n1 believed it then and I believe it now\nand so long as I have a voice to raise\npublicly in Canada, I shall continue to\nsupport (his as a loyal policy for Ihe\npeople of Canada to follow. We know\nthat the milling trust of St. Paul If\nsupporting this agreement and why?\nBecause they want Canadian wheat and\nbecause they want to drive Canadian\nwhent from the export market. It is\nas easy as adding two and *two together.\nWhat of the Future.\nWhat is to be our future commercial\nrelation with the United States. 1 see\nno possible answer to the argument of\nthe member for North Toronto on this\nsubject. It is perfectly 'clear that on\nthe day we adapt ourselves to United\nStates markets, on tiie day we start\nto cater our trade to those markets,\nthat day 'strengthens the grip of the\nUnited States on Canada and 1 do not\nbelieve there will ever be a revision\nof our tariff, unless a rupture takes\nplace, that United States interest lob'\nbyists and pressure will not be brought\nto hear on this parliament. The only\npossible effect is domination of the\nsmaller hy the larger.\nI say lo the men of tli'S Liberal party\nas well ns to my friends of the Conservative parly, stop and think. You an;\ngrown men, men of wisdom and discretion. Is it safe for 7,500,000 to bargain\nwith 90,000,000? We may say we will\ntake It at their terms but not pay the\nprice. Sir, I think such a course is\nneither safe nor wise. If we take the\nterms we will have to pay the price. I\noppose this resolution because it reverses the policy, under which the people of Canada, fighting under poverty\nagainst natural obstacles, against geographical conditions, have made their\ncountry one of the most enviable in Ihe\nworld. These resolutions, in my judgment spell retrogression, commercial\nsubordination, destruction of our national ideals and displacement from our\nproud position as the rising hope of\nthe British empire.

There is\nno doubt but that the farmer will get\nbetter prices for his cattle under the\nagreement hut Canada has hardly arrived at the point of developing a trade\nIn this respect yet.

(Cheers.)\nDuties Will Go.\nThe effect of this treaty generally is\nthat Canada has absolute free trade so\nfar as farm produce Ib concerned. Farmers of Canada are on a free trade\nbnsfs for what they sell and a protection basis for what they buy. How long\nare they likely to stand for that. After this has been in force for a few\nyears there will not be any question as\nto the duty on agricultural implements\nor on any other goods for we ahall be\nforced to take nil duties off and have\npractically a commercial union with\nflie United States.

Amiable Lumber company in the county\ncourt was disposed of before his honor,\nJudge Forin yesterday afternoon, judgment being given for the plaintiffs for\nthe sum of ?73.33. E. C. Wragge represented the plaintiffs, the B. C. Atkins\ncompany of Hamilton, Out., and A. M,\nJohnson appeared for the lumber company. The suit waB entered for the\nsum of $45,25 and $73.33 which tho\nplaintiffs claimed to be the balance due\non a quantity of machinery supplied to\nthe defendants. The defence was that\nthe former sum was an extra charge\nfor freight accrued through the mistake\nof the Atkins company and that they\nwere not liable for the $73.33 because\nthis sum was charged for duly and\nfreight on certain machinery brought\nIn from a point in Michigan to Hamilton, contending that the whole shlpinenf\nwas contracted for at a price f.o.b. Hamilton, Ont.\nThe machinery was sold in February\nlast to the George Campbell, manager\nof the Annable Lumber company at\nTrail, by W. V. Birdsall, sales agent for\nthe Atkins company of Hamilton, Out.,\nand also for the Cogel Manufacturing\ncompany of Benton Harbor, Mich.\nIn the witness box he stated that lie\nmade the sale in the company's office\nnear Trail. Me told Mr. Campbell that\nhe represented both the Hamilton u\\u\\\nthe Benton Harbor companies tin J was\nasked by 'Mr. Campbell to make up a\nlist of machinery that he, witness,\nthought would be required In the mill.\nThis was done and certain machinery,\nto be supplied by both the Canadian i\u00abnd\nthe United Slates company, was ordered. He produced the order form and\nexplained that, the words \"plus freight\nand duty\" referred to the Cogle portion\nof the machinery ordered. He had tcld\nMr. Campbell that the Cogle machinery\nwas all sold at the United Stales price,\nplus duty and freight.\nCross examined by Mr. Johnson witness stated that he remembered a Mr.\nNewman and a Mr. Warner being present in the office at the time he made\nthe deal with Mr. Campbell. It was Mr,\nWarner, mill superintendent, who attended to the details of the ordering.\nThe words \"f.o.b. factory\" at the head of\nthe order form meant free-on-d ell very at\nBenton Harbor and not at Hamilton. A\ncertain delay had occurred In the shipment of some of the machinery which\nhad been due to an error on the part of\nthe plaintiffs. This had resulted In the\ndefendants being charged with some extra freight, duo to the .difference between carload and small shipment\nrates.\nClaim Partially Waived.\nAt this point Mr. Wragge stated that\nhis clients were willing to waive the\nclaim for the $-15.25 extra freight\ncharges between Michigan nnd Hamilton. Ont.\nFor tbe defence George Campbell,\nmanager of the G. M. Annable Lumber\ncompany, stated that the goods were all\npurchased f.o.b. Hamilton. Tbe Atkins\ncompany bad been given the order because they had a factory at Hamilton\nand because the machinery, all bought\nat eastern prices, could be shipped west\nin carload lots. Witness said the words\n\"plus freight and duty\" placed on the\norder near two Items referred only to\nthose Items which Mr. Birdsall had offered to throw in with the order free\nof any charge except duty and tbe\nfreight, stating at the time that the\norder was a pretty substantial one and\nthat he could afford to give these two\npieces of machinery free. No mention\nof American prices had been made excepting In regard to these two items\nof the order.\nGeorge T. Newman, also an employee\nof the lumber company, said that he\nheard tho discussion as to prices, etc..\nbetween Messrs, Warner, Campbell and\nBirdsall and that he remembered hearing that the two items marked \"plus\nfreight and duty\" were to be given free\nof actual cost.\nOnus on Lumber Company.\nHis honor, In giving judgment for\nThe Leaders\nof Fashion\nFit-Reform stands at the head of the creators of style in gentlemen's\ngarments.\nSuits and Overcoats shown in the Fit-Reform Wardrobe have no duplicates elsewhere.

The\nmachinery sold was of a standard make,\nthe company was a standard one and\ndid business on certain definite lines\nIf the defendants had paid anything\nabove standard prices for the machinery\nit might have heen argued that they\nhad been imposed on but there was no\ncomplaint that the charges for the\nmachinery were excessive.

Simpson, of\nKamloops, last night. Mr. Simpson, who\nIs an old newspaperman of Cranbrook, Is\nin Nelson tn connection with arranging an\nadvertising campaign of bis addition to\nKamloopa, known as \"Bookman's Addition.\"\n\"Kamloops, situated '\u00a3>. miles cast of\nVancouver on the main line of-the C.P.R.,\nIs, as you know, one of tbe oldest towns\nIn this province,\" continued Mr. Simpson.\n' A Hudson's Bay post was located there\nJust 100 years ago. Kamloops was one of\nthe quiet old towns of the province until\ntwo years ago, when the news of the\nprobable building of the C.N.R, through\nthat town awoke the citizens to a realisation of the fact that Kamloops was Aiming\nInto Its own. Last year wus a good year\nfor that city, as property advanced In\nvalue, and many substantial buildings were\nerected. ThlB year the movement will almost be in the nature of a boom, although\nthe people are not striving for anything\nof thnt character, and prosperity is comlnj\nwith an open hand.\nBase of Supplies\n\"The C.N.R, has been surveyed to tlfl\ncity, and ff the present arrangements an\ncarried out, Kamloops will be used as I\nbase of supplies, and work will be carrlei\non north and west simultaneously.\n\"Last fall the C.P.R, purchased $250,00\nto $275,000 worth of property, and- are en\nfarglng their roundhouse and shops,\nextending their yards. As It Is quite eVfl\ndent that Is is the C.P.R. that ls back of\ntho Alberta Central that Is building wen\nof Yellowhead pass and down the north\nThompson to Kamloops, these ' increase!\nare to meet heavier demands on the coma\npany.\nGovernment Works\n\"The   provincial government   has  heen J\nvery liberal with Kamloops this year, and';\nwill   start  building a new  provincial olda\nman's home that Ib to cost $200,000.   It will '\nalso spend  from $50,000 to $75,000 In Improving the capacity of the provincial jail,\nto keep pace with tbe requirements of the]\ngrowing territory.   The provincial govern- f\nment and the C.N.R. will unite In the construction of a combination traffic and railway bridge across the south Thompson, at\na cost of USO,000.\n\"Many large business blocks are under :\nconstruction, and plans are ready for more.\nAll tne hotels In the city have been enlarged, and lt is evident that Kamloops ,\nwill  be one of the liveliest cities in the\nprovince the coming year.\n\"tt Is conceded as a conservative estimate by Mayor Robinson, an old-time\nresident, that the expenditures in and Immediately around Kamloops this year will\nreach $2,250,000 to $3,H\u00bb,ffl\u00bb.\"\n","@language":"en"}],"Genre":[{"@value":"Newspapers","@language":"en"}],"GeographicLocation":[{"@value":"Nelson (B.C.)","@language":"en"}],"Identifier":[{"@value":"Nelson_Daily_News_1911_03_01","@language":"en"}],"IsShownAt":[{"@value":"10.14288\/1.0383491","@language":"en"}],"Language":[{"@value":"English","@language":"en"}],"Latitude":[{"@value":"49.493333","@language":"en"}],"Longitude":[{"@value":"-117.295833","@language":"en"}],"Notes":[{"@value":"The Nelson Daily Miner was purchased by F.J.
