Before the recent\nsession of the legislature convened,\nthe British Columbia fire ' insurance\ninterests prepared,a bill, based upon\nthe existing act, but with several important, as well -as minor amendments.\nThis bill was never submitted to the\n'legislature. It represented, however,\nthe position taken by the insurance Interests at that time, and still occupied\nthat role at the time tbat the insurance\ncommission commenced its sessions, at\nthe coast\nIn the melting pot of the evidence\ngiven before the commission, it. soon\nbecame evident that certain clauses\nwere being fiercely opposed. These\nparticular clauses tended to restrict\nthe -business done In British Columbia\niby foreign unlicensed companies. One\nof these .clauses related to government\ndeposits, and read as follows:\nDeposit and Cancellation.\n\"16. Every company before offering\nto undertake any contract as defined\nln the second section of -.this act shall\ndeposit and keep on deposit with the\nminister the sum of $30,000, either in\ncash or securities, as provided in section 14 of this act.\"\nAnother clause related to cancellation and read as follows:\n\"19. If from the annual statements,\nor from an examination of the affairs\nand condition of any company, other\nthan a mutual company, lt appears that\nthe re-insurance value of all Its risks\noutstanding in the province, together\nwith any other liabilities ln the province, exceeds its assets In British Columbia, including the deposit ln the\nhands of the minister, then the company shall ibe called upon by the minister to make good the deficiency at\nonce and, on failure so to do, Its license\nshad be cancelled.\"\nA -third section around which argument gathered related to Insurance In\nunlicensed companies, and read as follows:\ni Unlteensed Companies.\n' \"46.

SIMPSON\nGET TOUR ORDERS IN NOW FOR SPRING AND SUMMER DELIVERY\nANOTHER CRISIS\nCOMIVG IN JAPAN\nBaron Kikuchi, one ofi the foremost\neducationists In Japan, and nassfoent\nof the imperial university, Kioto, delivered a lecturei'before a very large\nauuience -in Convocation hall of the University of Toronto this week. He gave*\na historical review of the awakening\nof the Far Eastern country and so con-\nvimcingiv did he portray the ambitions\nof the Japanese nation tbat be was interrupted sereial times by the applause\nof bis auditors. Canada and Japan, be\nsaid, were near neighbors end should\nunderstand each other and by understanding each other they would be more\nand more friendly with, each other.\nSome people, he said, bad the Idea\nthat the awakening of Japan had occurred in the last 60 years but tbat was\na misconception. The present state of\nthe nation was -tbe natural result of tho\n-mjany -centuries which bad prcoeded,\nthe opening up of the country. It twas\na little more than 50 years since Japan\nopened up her country to the trade of\nthe rest of the world. Japan saw that\nill it would retain its existence as an\nindependent nation lt would have to do\nBomethlg and at ooe set to work to accomplish the task.\n'Continuing, Baron Kikuchi stated that\nthe tradition of Japan had it that An 660\nB.C. tne empine was founded by the\nfirst emperor and firom that there was\nan unbroken line of descent to the present t*me> wuich was unparalleled by\nany imperial dynasty 4n the world.\nTha New Era\nIn 1868 began thie* new era for Japan.\nIn fact, he said, the new Japan dated\n\u2022worn that year. One of the first actions of tbe emperor was to -give an\naudieqce to the ambassadors of foreign\ncountries. In that year the emperor issued and had all hi\u00ab ministers swear\nto the famous \"ttve articles,\" (which provide for deliberate assemblies and government   by public opinion; for   all\nclasses to -unite and carry out & form of\ngovernment; the abolition of civil and\nmilitary rule so that there would be\nno discontent; tbe uncivilized customs\no*. former times were to ibe broken\nthrough and based on the just principles\nof heaven and earth; and the Japanese\nwere to acquire knowledge throughout\nthe world that the empire might tie promoted.\nWonderfully Few Errors\nIt was not to be expected that such\ngreat changes were made .-without difficulty and opposition, he continued,\nbut on the whole wonderfully few errors were made On\u00a9 of the reasons\nDor uiat was that the emperor always\nwas ready to listen to the advice of his\ncounsellors and bad always adhered to\nthe poHcy set forth in his memorable\noath. In 1881 a commission under tlie\nlate Marquis Ito was sent to Europe\nand America to study the constitution\ndf the various countries and the result\nwas that in 1889 a consMtuftion was\npromulgated without confusion or tolood-\n\u25a0shed. Japan had now been a constitutional government for 20 years and It\nwas -established on a firm basis. In\nfact if it had not been Japan would\nhave been unable to carry on the tjwo\nsuccessful wars .wliich had taken place\nIn that thne.\nEducation In Japan\nThe educational ipollcy of Japan was\nthat students should be sent all over\nthe world for tihe purpose of studying\nthings which would ibe for the progress\nofl the country. The first educational\noode was established in 1873. . Baron\nKikuchi spoke ofi the systems in vogue\nin Japan and gave details and figures\nto show the remarkable growth in the\npast few years. AU children had to attend school, he said, and the average\nattendance was 97 per cent. Great\nstiress was laid on direct moral instruction and the children were trained In\nsuch a way tbat .they not only respected\nand loved their ance-ators, but so conducted themselves as to be loved and\nrespected hy their descendants.\n\"At the ipresenit moment,\", he concluded \"we in -Japan are approaching another critical period and it may ibe an\nimportant question to -prevent the clashing of old -and new ideas. The social\nsystem is built on family and not as individuals, which .places restraint end\nself-sacrtlice on ihe young men and\nwomen. They chafe under this restraint\nand are nut willing to submit -to It without question. There is a need of readjusting .the old system and the new-\nideas all along the line. All through'\nour history we have kept our characteristics of loyalty and devotion, and\nso may w\u00ab continue -in the face of new\nproblems, and find a solution of the\ndifficulty which will be fa such harmony with the new conditions that the\nfundamental traditions of our ancestors\nwill hie retained.\nSOMEBODY STILL HAS\nFAITH IN COOK\nLarge Fund Guaranteed to Enable Explorer to Prove His Claims\u2014Will\nSend for Records.\nNEW YORK, April 2.\u2014On the\nauthority of Captain F.

Heretofore this session\nHon. H. R. Emmerson, and J. G. Turiff\nhave shown strong disposition to jump\nthe Liberal fences, but yesterday their\nforces were added to by the acquisition of W. M. -German, the usually good\nfollower of Sir Wilfrid, from Welland.\nMr. German said, however, to follow\nhis leader was one thing and to fofllow\nMr, Pugsley was quite another and he\ndid not hesitate to disagree with the\n'-policy of the minister of public works.\nGerman Opens Flre.\nThe house got into -supply early ln\nthe sitting, the minister of public\nworks taking up his items. On the\ndredging vote Mr. German opened fire.\nHe strenuously protested against the\ngovernment adding to Us already too\nlarge fleet of dredges, laying down the\ndictum that work should not be done\nby the government but let out ln con**\ntracts. He alluded to the work done\nby the dredge W. S. Fielding which\ncosts (12,724 and last year 961,321 for\noperating and 914,113 for maintenance.\nFrom AprU 1, 1908 to March 4, 1909,\nthis dredge only moved 360,540 cubic\nyards and a prominent engineer had\nstated that this amount should be\ndone tn two months. Just -an ordinary\ndredge without such a .high sounding\nname would move 5,000 cubic yards a\nday.\nShould be Contract.\nAt the present time the Fielding was\nworking ln 50-foot material. In Mr. German's opinion the government should\nreverse its policy, advertise for tenders\nand let tne lowest tenderer do the\nwork, j\nPugsley -Satisfied.\nMr. Pugsley remarked that the was\nquite satisfied with the work the Fielding waB doing.\nMr. German returned to the attack\non the Ontario dredging estimates expressing the opinion tbat no public\nmoney should be expended on Port\nCredit harbor. It waB rumored, he\nsaid, tbat private Interest had acquired\nlt with a view to selling It to the government after Improvements had been\nmade.\nThe minister explained that it was\nintended to dredge the harbor to a\nminimum of 25 feet In depth. When\nthis waB accomplished the Grand\nTrunk would divert considerable of the\ngrain traffic going by way of Chicago.\nPaper Was Blank.\nThe minister had a passage of humor\nwith Richard Blaln. The member\/for\n.Peel asked for a list of Conservative\npapers containing advisements \u25a0\/ for\ndredging tenders. Mr. Pugsley smilingly sent a page boy across the floor\nwith an envelope to Mr. Blaln. The\n\u2022envelope contained a sheet of blank\npaper.\nMore Criticism.\nAn item of $450,000 for improvement\nto St. John harbor was passed and a\nloflg discussion arose over the dredging\nof Courtenay bay. Mr. Emmerson demanded that new tenders be caMed before this work is started with. The\nex-minister of railways took up the\nstory of the enclosure of the Mahonas\nby which the Marine* Dredging company\nbad secured the work of dredging of\nSt. John harbor at Dominion Dredging\nCo. figures. In view of the fact, he\nsaid, that 16,000,000 was demanded as\ndeposit for $7,000,000 work, new tenders\nshould be called before the work waB\nproceeded with.\nApart from the outbursts, the day\nwas devoid of incidents. The bills\nwill be taken up on Monday at the first\nmorning sitting, of the house,\nMEXICAN  GOVERNMENT'S\nRELATIONS FRIENDLY\nMEXICO CITY, April 2.\u2014I take\npleasure ln informing 'you that the\nMexican government's course in this\naffair 'did not ln the least .impair our\nfriendly relations with other nations,\nnotwithstanding all that mistakenly or\n.maliciously was said to the effect by\nhome and foreign newspapers.\"\nThis was one ot the Interesting assertions contained in the message of\nPresident Diaz to congress when that\nbody opened its second session today.\nHe 'referred to the asylum afforded\nFormer President Zelaya of Mexico.\nAn explicit declaration was also made\nby the chief executive to the effect that\nMexico fully recognized the legitimacy\nof the   Madriz administration.\ntlon tor the first time today 16.5 miles\noi tbe meet expensive construction work\never attempted, namely, its tunnel and\nterminal improvements from Harrison,\nN.J, to Sunnyslde.

Trying to please all sections\nAsqulth enthuses none. Lloyd-George's\nnegotiations have obviously failed to\nreconcile Redmond to the .budget. Redmond still insisted on abolition of the\nveto and nothing else. Equally futile\nhave been Sir Edward Grey's efforts to\nconvince the Radical forwards that the\nabolition of the veto must be linked\nwith reform of the lords.\nAbsurd to Drop Budget.\nAnswering Redmond the ministerial\nChronicle says today It would be absurd to fight ithe lords by dropping the\nvery thing which precipitated the\ncrisis, namely, the budget. Answering\nSir Edward Grey, the chairman of the\nLaborites declares they want the lords\nnot reformed but abolished. The ministerial position has, ln fact, become so\nentangled that old parliamentary\nhands on both sides see ho way out\nhut a dissolution.\nThe Unionists stand solid with Balfour in unceasing opposition to the\nwhole policy. His official opposition\namendment standing in the name of\nSir Robert Findlay, flatly declines to\nproceed with the veto resolutions,\n\"which would destroy the usefulness\nof any second chamber, however constituted and remove the only safeguard against great changes helng\nmade by the government of the day\nnot only without the consent but\nagainst the wishes of the majority of\nthe electors.\"\nMay Abstain from Voting.\nThe speech of Munro Ferguson suggests that some ministerialists may\nvote for this amendment or ' abstain\naltogether, but even if the veto resolutions pass the commons the government's next step namely, a revival of\nthe budget, is bound to imperil their\nexistence. Moreover, it is now understood that Balfour is prepared to do\nwhat the ministerial plan contemplates\nhis shirking; he has decided that his\nduty to the king will compel him to\naccept office should Asqulth resign,\nWINDERMER.\nFEATS OF E. P. WESTON\nAP08TLE  OF WALKING\nEdward Payson Weston, the veteran\nwalker, is attracting much attention\njust now principally because it is unusual that a man who has turned 72\nyears of age should be engaged tn a\ntramp across the continent from California to New York. The veteran left\nLob Angeles on February 1 and expects\nto be at New York on May 17, but as\nhe Is more than a week ahead of the\nschedule he may be there s'oofler. He\nrecently celebrated the eve of his seventy-second birthday with a walk of\nseventy-two miles. Weston started out\nwith the avowed intention of doing the\n\"ocean to ocean\" walk In ninety days.\nDuring his long career, which extends over half a century, Weston\nhas been the great American apoBtle\nof walking. He has been in all manner of heel and toe contests and tt is\ncalculated that In the period of forty-\ntwo yearB he has* covered in public a\ndistance equal to three times the circumference of the earth.\nWeston first saw the light in Providence, R. I., on March 15, 1839. As\na child he .was weak and sickly,\nwhich was only natural, as he weighed\nonly 4 pounds, 6 ounces at his birth.\nIn 1861 occurred hia first important\nTeat, for he walked from Boston to\nWashington to attend the flrBt inauguration of President Lincoln. The\nBtart occurred on February 22 and he\nreached the capital on March 4, covering 543 miles, the exact walking\ntime being 208 hours. Weston's real\ncareer as a professional began in 1867,\nwhen he walked from Portland, Me.,\nto Chicago. All his life Weston has\nhad temperate habits, to which he\nattributes his great vitality, even at\ntbe present day.\nPOPULATION OF STATES\nE8TIMATED AT 90,000,000\nDr. E, Dana Durand1, director of the\nUnited States Census, says \u25a0 that by\nJune 1 he expects to be able to report\nhow many inhabitants there are in the\nUnited States, probably between 88,000,-\n000 and 91,000,000.\n\"Of course, it is absolutely Impossible to make any census absolutely accurate,\" said Dr. Durand, \"but we feel\nthat it is possible to overcome all but\nabout 1 per cent, of errors.\n\"We are going to pay particular attention to the family statistics ln order to get an estimate of the effects\nof race suicide. I am optimistic on\nthat score. I don't look for any serious decline in population.\n\"I think that families are smaller\nbecause of the higher standard of\nliving. 1 don't say that wages are not\nconsiderably higher now than they\nwere 100 years ago, but it is not so\neasy to get what people demand now.\nThey want better things and more\ncomforts and better educational advantages for their children; hence the\ntendency to have fewer children.

FOSTER   Manager.\nSUNDAY, APRIL 3.\nTHE PROFESSOR'S CRUSADE\nA Spokane dispatch says:\nProfessor W. D. Lyman of Walla\nWalla, Wash., representing the National Rivera and Harbors Congress\nia waging an active campaign in\nSpokane and other parts of this\ndistrict for the opening ot lhe Columbia river from Revelstoke, B.C.\nby way of Kettle Falls. Wash., to\nthe Pacific ocean, to provide a waterway of 1000 miles. The cost tf.\ntiie work on ihe American side is\nestimated at between 17,000,000 and\n38.000,000, to which, is added M.000,-\nI 000 to improve Snake river from its\nmouth to Lewlston, Idaho. He believes the work can be done within\nfive years, and he points to its\ncompletion as the solution of the\nfreight rate problem for Spokane\nand common .points in tbe Northwest.\nIt is to (be hoped the professor's estimate is correct tor lt is \"Important If\ntrue.\" It would be worth a good deal\nmote than 38,000,000 to the territory\nalong the Columbia to have a good\nwater route to the Pacific coast Freight\ncould be brought by water through' the\nPanama canal from the Atlantic seaboard and from Europe. The' ad van-\ntages that Vancouver, Seattle and the\nPacific coast ln general derive in the\nway of freight rates, as a result of competition by water, would be brought\nwithin reach of the inland empire on\nboth sides of the boundary. -\nBut it ls to be feared that the professor's figures are somewhat below Uie\nmark. To make the Columbia an effectively competing route from its mouth\nto the international boundary, would\nprobably cost more like 330,000,000. It\nis worth even that price. But It will\nnot be \"done within five years.\" Jim\nH1U will sleep soundly, if be has nothing more to worry him, for a long\ntime yet Meanwhile we are safe In\nsaying that, if our American friends\nwill complete their portion of the waterway, there will he no trouble in then\ngetting thla country to finish the remainder.\nSPORADIC PUBLICITY\nFrom various towns and districts in\nthe Kootenay comes word of active preparation for publicity work. This is a\ngood thing and will bring good results\nso far as it goes. But it is a question\nwhether it is sufficient\nThe buslnes of publicity has attracted\nmany progressive tmen. Methods have\nimproved. What was good enough a\nfew years ago is not good enough today, 'and cannot successfully meet tbe\ncompetition of today.\nOutside of large cities which are confining their work to the securing of Industries, almost every part ot the continent that is doing much publicity work\nls working through central organira-\n\u25a0tlans of one kind or another, or through\nleagues including a number of local\nassociations. In either case a oonoWer-\nab'e territory is worked together. This\nis the method that has won out In the\nstruggle tor the survival of the Attest\nThe day of small Isolated organisations,\neach working; entirely by itself for a\nsingle limited dlstrlot haa gone by.\nIn addition to our various looal associations In the Kootenay-Boundsry,\nwe ahould have systematic, organised\ncooperative publicity work, embracing\nthe whole territory.\nNEW BRUNSWICK NOW.\nlt Is not only in the west that true\nprogress of Canada Is to be seen.\nWith the growth of the manufacturing\nindustries of Ontario and Quebec the\ndevelopment of the water powers of\nthose provinces, and the mines of\nnorthern Ontario, every one ls familiar.\nThey are reflected in the great increase ln the population of Montreal\nand Toronto.\nMost of us know, too, of the revival\nin Nova Scotia, the expansion ot the\nfruit Industry, and the development ot\nthe coal and steel industries by capitalists ot Ontario and Quebec Now\nNew Brunswick, also,-is coming to the\nfront\nIt haa long been (known that coal\nexisted in the province but the seams\nfound were too thin for profitable\nworking. New seams have now been\ndiscovered of excellent quality and of\npracticable thickness, ok shales were\nfound years ago, now it is said that oil\nwells have been struck, though so far\nof limited capacity. Perhaps the chief\nfind of late has been tne natural gas\nwells.\nThese appear to rival in their flow\nalmost any others yet utilized on the\ncontinent, and should prove exceedingly\nprofitable in various Industries. It\nseems hardly too much to expect that\nNew Brunswick, like Sova Scotia, will\nsee a marked Increase\" In her wealth\nand population.\nThis would be the beBt solution ot\nthe question recently raised aa to the\npossible reduction ln the representation\nof that province In the Dominion house,\nconsequent upon her slower growth as\ncompared with that of the unit of representation ln Quebec\nwestern Canada rejoices to see the\neastern provinces \"renew their mighty\nyouth.\" It all helps to make the-Dominion as a whole greater, stronger\nand more prosperous.     r\nEDITORIAL  NOTES.\nThe increase shown in the statement\not March 31, of nearly 31,500 In tlie\nInland revenue returns tor the city of\nNelson is one of the signs ot the times.\nAnd Nelson is not alone In this respect\nln this part ot the province.

Dally Newa.)\nGRAND FORKS, April 3\u2014Owing to\nthe recent slump tn Granby Consolidated, the following from George L. Walker of Boston, perhaps the best posted\nman In America on the copper share\nmarket, will be of interest to outaidea,\nas well as to the people of the Boundary country, who have aU faith in the\nbig company, and a large number of\nthe realdenta have shown the same hy\nbuying up all ithe stock which they\ncould procure.   Mr. Walker says;.\nLoss Unexplained\n. \"I am utterly at a loss to explain\nthe (weakness of Granby Consolidated\nstock. I know that the company is\nmaking a large output ot copper at a\nlow cost per pound, and believe it to\nbe earning at the rate otS 38 or 39 per\nshare. The company's ore deposits are\nvery extensive. I firmly believe that\nGranby stock Is -worth 3130 per share\nand have no doubt whatever that it\nwtM eventually sell at that price.\nProbable Statement\n\"In connection with the decline a\nstory was circulated that die management is about to issue a statement\nshowing that an examination of the\nmine has revealed ithe fact that there\nare only 6,000,000 tons ot ore ready for\netoplng. As this Ib a five years' supply\nfor Its present smelting capacity, lt\nwould seem to me all that can possibly\nhe required. I know that the company's\nlands have been extensively diamond\ndrilled and that -this drilling proved the\ncontinuance ot its ore body and the\nmaintenance of Its values throughout\na very large area, which must contain\ntens ot millions of tons of ore. I advise\nthe purchase ol Granby both tor investment and speculation,\n\"I would remind you tbat the stock\nof approximately every successful copper mining company haa at one time or\nanother sold at rWloulousty low prices\nwhich were afterwards very difficult\nto explain.\"\nLaat Report\nThe report of the Granby company\nfor the six months ended Dec. 31 last,\nas presented ito the stock exchange, is\nas foUqws:\nAmount realised on production ..,.32,055,661\nExpenses 1,750,918\n' Net profit for six months  I 304,646\nPrevious surplus  2,686,687\nTotal surplus  : 13,003,333\nDhddends and interest    287,365\nNet surplus Dec. 31, 1909,  *B,715,968\nProduction Is shown ae follows:    .\nAverage\naalUnc\nQuantity        Price\nCopper (pounds)    11,167,665 13.139c.\nSilver (ounces       172,064        61,36c.\nGold (ounces)        24,997   120.00\nIdle balance sheet aa of Dec. 31, 1906, la\n.as followst\nASSETS\nCoat of land, machinery, etc 315,506,417\nStocks and boMs      994,6)3\nBupplles       *ja,SH\nCash and copper      101,334\n.

Llnsiey,\nthe engineer who examined the Granby\nmines when they were mere .prospects,\nand made a favorable report, recommending the Investment of capital, after\na visit of Inspection to the Granby properties, was quoted hy the Phoenix Pioneer as follows:\n\"Whenever I am ln the vicinity of the\nGranby mines I oaU to see if the mines\nare as large ss I have claimed they\nwere In the past.\n- \"On Feb. 13,1908,1 made a complete\nreport on the properties of the Granby\nConsolidated Mining, Smelting & Power\nCo., Limited. At this time the Granby\nwas a going concern, mining and treat-\nIng 1600 tone of ore daily with 8,600,000\ntons of workabe ore blocked out snd\n14,000,000 tone more reasonably In eight.\nAlthough about 6,000,000 tone have been\nmilled at the Gnurhy's Phoenix properties and treated at the company's smelter since then, and etill at the present\ntime, Irom a cursory examination there\nis more ore in' sight than there was\nthen. T V.\nOre at Smelter\n\"The Granby has a large stock of ore\nat the smelter, and thousands ot tone\not ore broken In its mines; it haa a\nlarge atone ot coke) at the smelter for\nan emergency; the method of mining,\ntramming and smelting Is modem and\nI think I am safe in saying that the\nGranby is second to none tn the craft.\nOutlook Bright\n\"As to the future outlook of the Granby Consolidated, It is Might. I have\nbeen In close touch with the company\nfrom its organisation until the present\ntime and from the companys' published\nreports as to ths coat of producing\ncopper heretofore, and from the published reports aa to the ores mined and\ntreated, I do not think I am betraying\nany confidence when 1 say that not less\nthan 4600 tons of ore will be treated\nat the smelter, and more than 90 per\ncent of It will come from the company's\nmines at Phoenix,\nLargs Capacity\n\"With the improved system of electric haulage at the mines, the improvements recently completed at the smelter, which has eight enlarged furnaces.\neach with a capacity of 600 tons every\n24. hours, and with an absolute certainty of ample ore and power, the\nGranby company should make 40,000,000\npounds of copper annually without further enlarging of .the smelter plant.\nFor ths month of October this year,\n17,000 tons of ore were treated at the\nsmelter. During November they will\ntreat about 120,000 tone and after that\n130,000 tons should be mined and treat-\ned monthly by the Granby for a very\nlong period.\nLow Cost\n\"Assuming that 130,000 tons will be\nabout the average hereafter\u2014and there\nis no good reason why that amount\nshould not be mined and treated each\nmonth\u2014the ore can be mined, trammed,\nsmelted, converted and the copper put\non cars at tbe smelter for approximately 12.60 per ton of ore. The recovery\not copper from ore from the company's\nmines at Phoenix Will be from 30 to 22\npounds per ton of ore, the gold and silver values will approximately be 31 for\neach ton of ore treated. With 130,000\ntone mined and treated monthly, copper can and should be made and sold\nand the proceeds placed ln a bank In\nNew York tor a total cost of from 8 1-2\nto 9 oents per pound.\"\nOre Reserves\nRegarding the ore reserves of the\nGranby company, Jay P. Graves in January, 1908, in an official announcement\nIs quoted ss saying in part:\n\"The company ]. In the unique position, bo different Ip the experience of\nmanv mining properties in other districts, of not being able to increase' its\nsmelting capacity fast enough to keep\nup .with the possible output of the\nmines. As tt Is the-production and shipment of from 3000 to 3600 tons per day\nis an easy accomplishment for the Granby, with literally Its millions of tons of\nore opened aad blocked out and whdeh\nIs being Increased each year, notwithstanding the heavy drafts of 600.000 to\n1,000,000 tons per annum made on\nthe reserves.\n\"While the heaw shipments have\nbeen going on steadily all these years,\ndevelopment at the Granby has not\nbeen overlooked, there being many\nmiles of underground workings in the\nproperties, and the ore reserves con.\nstantly Inoreaelng \"trttth development.\nan elaborate system of diamond drilling having given great satisfaction to\nthn management ln the results attained.\"\nPRESENT POSITION\nOF THE COMPANIES\n(Continued From First Page.)\nunlicensed company lor a term not exceeding 12 months, and such permit\nshall for the said term exempt the said\nperson and the said company from the\noperation ot this section.

APRIL I.\nTHE WORLD OF SPORT\nEVFNTS AND COMMENTS\nThis new B.C.L.A. rule, giving tbe\nreferee absolute control on tlie field and\nempowering lilm to impose -fines where\nabsolutely necessary, is a good one.\nWith Cullin and DHchboim they mill\nonly resort to extremes when they feel\nthat all efforts to bring a player to\ntime 'are futile but when that time\ncornea they will make it decidedly un-\n: pleasant for the player, and. it is a -referee who has tbe backbone to go out\nand speak his own mind and who re-\nceives support of the association who\nwill improve tbe existing conditions of\nlacrosse la Vancouver and New Westminster,\nChopping in Summer\nHugh Ktppen, the Cornwall youth\nmho waa awarded the Boyal Human society's medal for saving a young lady's\nlife, is a lacrosse player. And to think,\ncomments tbe Toronto Telegram, how\nmany of the heroes off other days saved\nlives and escaped medals simply because tbe sticks they used in the good\nold summer time weren't bo -deadly as\ntbe axes tbey swung in the winter\nwoods.\nTo Join Jones\nA Montreal dlspatdt says that Jim\nMoltiwaine, tbe former Shamrock player, la likely to leave for Vancouver\n-shortly to join Goo Jones' processional\ndub.\nSeveral of Ottawa's old stars, including Ernie Butterworth, Bobby Pringle,\n\"Shiner' Eastwood, Jack -Shea, Billy\nStarrs, Jack Ashlield and Bill Pagan.\nare going to remain in the game for\nanother seafeon. The. Caps are out for\nthe championship this year and as they\nusually get what they go after, don't\nbe surprised if they are at the top of\nthe head at -the end ot the year.\nThe Toronto papers -say Con Jones\ntuas ottered an Ottawa defence player\n$250 a month for his services during\nthe coming summer. Con says it is\nnews to him, and he ought to  know.\nMike Shea, the Ottawa lacrosse player, has gone to Winnipeg, where he has\naccepted the position of sporting editor of the Winnipeg Telegram.\nOver in New Westminster they're going to give a gold medal to the player\n\u25a0who is ruled ofif the least during the\nseason. It's a cinch that some of -tbe\ndefense will be out of the running before tbe season is very old, although\nthe new -rules promise to liave tbe desired effect in keeping ithe game free\nfrom unnecessary rough play.\nOttawa Oarsmen\nAt the annual meeting of the Ottawa\nBowing club tbe past season was reviewed with pleasure, it having been\n\u25a0tbe most successful on record. The\ngreat success which greeted the efforts\nof the Ottawa crews at St. Catharines\n\u25a0and tbat of the senior four at Detroit\nwas referred to, \u2022 it being decided to\nsend three or four crews to the Canadian Henley and also to enter strongly\nin the American National regatta which\nls to be held at Washington this season. An eight will be developed,\nJimmle Ten Eyck -again having been\nengaged as caacih. The financial statement also was very satisfactory.\nThe election of officers resulted as\nfollows: Honorary tpatron, Earl Grey;\nhonorary -president., R. H.

All of last\nyears' oarsmen are available and a\ngreat effort will be made to retain the\nCanadian and national colors.\nCounting Chickens\nCanada should bave at least one British and half a dozen American chain-\npkmshlps this season.\nBobby Kerr Ib going to England again\n-and everybody looks for him to win at\nleast one of the sprints. Tait has already secured one American record and\nshould be good for at least another.\nThen Lou Sebert has a great chance\nof annexing the quarter, (while Hal-\npenny and Archibald should make a\nstrong bid for tbe -pole vault The Gill-is boys of Vancouver, will also be con*\ntenders at the American games and\nShould bring some honors our way.\nWestern Canada Cricket\nA, R. Morrison of Winnipeg ,1s advancing a scheme for organizing a\nWestern Canada Cricket association in\norder that due representation may be\ngiven to the west when Canadian teams\nare selected. Canadian 'teams up to\nthe present time have meant teams of\n\u25a0eastern cricketers, and Mr. Morrison\nthinks, and he has all the western provinces to think with him, that there\nare just ae good cricketers in the west\nas in the eaet. The association would\nalso arrange an annual tournament.\nThe Winnipeg Free Press comment-\nin* on the scheme -says:\nThe formation of the -western Canada\ncricket association must undoubtedly\ngive the west the opportunity ot taking\nber place in the cricket world of Canada. In tbe long history of the Dominion we living west of the great lakes\nhave Ibeen altogether obscured in the\ngreat sport of the motherland. There\nnever ha* been an opportunity ofl any\n\u25a0account to test the relative merits of\nthe cast and -west and with such an or-\neam-ization as is planned coming into\nexistence the east will have to listen\nto the cries from -afar off. Very shortly\na Canadian team iwiil set out to tour\ntbe old country and cricketers all over\nthe dominion could well enter an action\ntar slander. A Dominion team picked\nmostly from Ontario\u2014and eastern Ontario at that\u2014-travelling as the representatives of Canada! Well, lt Is all\ntoo absurd.\nhave lumber interests on a large scale.\nLast lalf, when the millionaires of\nRenfrew started to gather a -team,\nabout tbe first players they went after\nwere the Patrick boys. Both were\nsigned with Edmonton, and as the\nwestern team had a challenge in for\nthe Stanley cup they decided to stay\nweBt. When Iudmontbn called off the\nu-ip the monied kings or the Ontario\ntown renewed negotiations and they\nwere of such a tempting nature that\nneither Lester nor Frank could resist.\nThe millionaires made no mistake In\nsecuring the Patrick boys, Lester, particularly was a star, though he played\non the forward line. He drew the biggest salary in the league, and from the\naccounts of games apparently earned\nit. .  .\nAsked whether the Renfrew team\nwould he kept Intact for next seas\nLester replied: \"The management\nwants every player to return, and\nwhile nearly everyone gave a, verbal\npromise it is too early to think of next\nseason. 1 can truthfully say, though\ntbat every player is anxious to return,\nas no better treatment could have been\naccorded. Whether Frank and 1 will\nbe able to get away is a matter ot the\nfuture, but should we decide to play,\nit Is altogether likely that we will oe\nwith Renfrew.\"\nWINNIPEG   PAPER   ON   PATRICKS.\nWinnipeg Tribune.\u2014Two of -the star\nplayers on tiie highest-priced hockey\nteam ln the world, Lester and Frank\nPatrick, reached tbe city on Saturday\non their way to Neleon, B.C., here they\nPOPULATION INCREASES\nFOOD SUPPLY DECREASES\nAn increase of 12,000000 ln the population of the United States ln the pest\n10 years and a decrease of about 5,000,-\n000 in the number of food animals is\nthe estimate made by -Que Washington\n-bureau .of statistics from reports on\nthese two subjects, made respectively\nby the census bureau and the department of agriculture. Another lesson in\nthe law of supply and'demand ls deduced by the bureau of statistics Is that\ntbe supply of food animals has gone\ndown 3 per cent, while the value has\nincreased 22 per cent In the meantime\nthe price of grains necessary for food\nfor these animals has foci-eased from\n56 to 75 per cent. The value of cattle,\nsheep and bogs ln this country in 1901\n\u25a0was estimated at $1,943,000,000; in 1910\nat $2,268,000,000. This Ib an increase\nof 22 per cent. Cattle are the one class\nof food animals that has come anywhere near keeping pace with the\ngrowth In population.\nMAYOR  IS HOOTED\nOFF THE 8TAGE\nPITTSBURG, April 2\u2014The indignation of 4000 citizens, including many\nwomen over the political corruption\nnow being unearthed by the grand Jury\nand by councilmen was expressed last\nnight at a mass meeting in President\nhall.

Speaking\nof the music and musical comedy, one\nrarely considers anything beyond whether\nlt Is pleasing: to hear. The trick of orchestration Is thought of by very few of\nthose especially cultivated In music, but\nthe orchestration of the music in any\nmusical performance is a matter of the\ngreatest Import, and especially Is thin\ntrue In tha music of \"The Royal Cher,\"\nthe production which will be seen at the\nopera house on April 11. Ben Jerome, who\nIs responsible for the score of \"The Royal\n\u2022Chef,\" Is known as one of the best musicians and composers ln America. Mr.\nJerome accepts this compliment with\nmodesty and Is Inclined to give much\ncredit for success to the care with which\nhe orchestrates his music, for Mr. Jerome,\nunlike most composers, does orchestrate\nWs own works, \"Your ordinary composer,\"\nhe declared, \"pays too little attention to\nhts orchestration.

Tliere are\nvery few composers In fact, who pay much\nattention to their counter-melodies in orchestration, and in several of Its numbers\nin \"The Royal Chef\" the counter-melodies\nare the sustaining points. Too many musicians are prone to substitute sou mi for\nmelody. They do not realize that tlie\naverage audience appreciates the finer\nstrains or music as well as the big brass\ndrum and cymbals. In the marches whieh\n1 wrote for \"The Royal Cher,\" counter\nmelodies are the sustaining points of the\nnumbers. The national airs uie Interwoven with the martial airs and the effect\nhas been to make this number one of the\nmost popular in the opera. And no It is\nall through the score. And I believe that\nIf a composer of today would pay more\nattention to his orchestrations, he would\nhave better success with his work.\"\nNOTHING DOING.\nPHILADELPHIA, April 2.\u2014Further efforts to secure un adjustment of the strike\nagainst the Rapid Transit company were\nmade, yesterday, when John Mitchell and\nother labor leaders held a consultation\nSenator Penrose and State Senator Mc-\nNichol.
