Both the Dominion and O'Brien halls, the largest\navailable halls ln .the city were packed\nto the doors, Messrs. McBrlde and Bowser each opening and closing the meetings which were alao 'addressed by\nthe other four conservative candidates.\nBoth the premier and the attorney general received most remarkable receptions. Cheering and singing preceded\nand followed the first appearance and\nthe opening and dosing addresses ot\neach, particularly the premier, ln the\noverflow meeting at the O'Brien hall\nwhich the premier closed, women stood\non chairs outside the open door to beam\nhis last word. It was the climax ot a\ntour which the premier said was a remarkable succession of campaign sue-\nFKoedliw a lucid explanation ot the\nradlway policy, the' premier (took sir\nChkvles Hlbbert Tupper to task on his\nRevelstoke speech. There six* Hlbbert\nhad professed loyalty and allegiance to\nthe conservative party In British Columbia up to the announcement of the\nrailway policy. But the premier could\nrecall when a few years ago the ser-\nvloes of all men in the party were re>\nquired and where was Tupper? No-\nwhere to be found. In a bye-election In\nLlllooet some few years ago liberal pa*\npen had heen distributed with columns\nofl Tupper who then, added the premier,\ncalled this a star chamber government.\nBut nevertheless we won that hye-elec-\nt,on- ....\n\"Why,\" continued*the premier, 'sir\nHlbbert talks as though we wanted\nhim. Yes and he talks aa though his\nheart Weeds for better terms. Why, If\nthe man was worth a button, may I say,\nhe could have ln Pictou in Nova Scotia\nstarted a campaign to inform the people at the other end of the dominion,\nupon 'this great question of better terms\nfor tne provinces, particularly British\nColumbia. Tot today Messrs. Tupper,\nWade and Ollvei^-a remarkable trio\u2014\nwere together In their effort to mislead\nthe people upctn the Issues and particularly on the railway policy. It is this\nmisrepresentation and mis-statement of\nfact which has all but ruined the liberal party in British Columbia, defeated\nTempleman In Victoria and Ross and\nother liberal candidates.\"\nThe premier In reviewing the administration and railway policy spoke in\nall three hours ln the two halls, giving details ot both railway agreements.\nSpeaking on the question of finances,\nhe once paused to observe that neither\nManitoba nor Alberta nor Saskatchewan own the'fr crown lands as we do,\nthe terms of union with the Domlon\nbeing different to ours. Today if we\nchose to do it we could eell to. one\nof the many colonisation companies\nfrom whom letters have been received\nat Victoria containing offers for 50,i\n000,000 acres of crown lands for 11 an\nacre, and within 14 days have |G0,-\n000,000. Yet Tupper, Oliver and Wade\nwould have the jteople believe thla\nrailway bargain will ruin our credits\nCries ot Not No! and applause.)\nThe premier reiterated that the government would have control ot freight\nrates on the Canadian Northern and\nby competition those ot the C. P. R.,\nand he declared that on terminals In\nVancouver $5,000,000 would be spent,\nwhile ln all $40,000,000 would be expended ln British Columbia ln four\nyears on the two railways.\nHon. W. J. Bowser, after an able review of the Issues, stated that he had\nsent out a challenge to Duncan Ross,\nwho at that moment was speaking in a\nctty hall, to meet him on the public\nplatform in Vancouver on Monday or\nTuesday nights at meetings. Mr. Bowser will attend and \"there,\" added Mr.\nBowser, \"I hope he will say tp my\nface what he has been bold enough to\nsay behind my hapk in regard to the\nGoto contract,\"\nNO ENTANOLING ALLIANCES.\nGnat Britain and United States Only\nAsk Mutual Good Will.\n\u2022LONDON.

Many prominent Englishmen and Americans attended the function. Sir Mortimer Durand, former British\nambassador to the United States, -presided,\nand proposed the. toast to King Edward\n' and President Taft. during which he paid\na high tribute to the American executive.\nIn 'addressing the banquetters, Sir Mortimer said: i i,..\n\"We In England know that If there Is\nono principle dear to the American i heart.\nIt Is ths principal laid down by Washing\nton, no entangling alliances. It ls the\nbest possible principle for a country so\nsituated.

Neither nation needs to ask more of the other than\ngood will. The Amei'lcan republic and the\nBritish empire are strong enough to fight\ntheir own battles.

There enthusiasm and\ngood spirits reigned supreme and the\ngathering which filled the spacious hall,\nlistened with attention and evident interest to remarkably effective (tnd stirring speeches by W. A. Macdonald,\nK.O. of Vancouver, who is well known\nand highly acceptable to Nelson audiences, by Harry Wright, Nelson's next\nrepresentative in the legislature and by\nW. A. Chesley, another staunch supporter of the McBrlde government.\nHearty and spontaneous was (he applause which greeted the speakers and\nwhich punctuated the addresses. The\ngathering was unmistakably Im complete accord with the sentiments expressed and determined to leave no\nstone unturned to secure -an overwhelming triumph on election day for Harry\nWright and the cause that he represents. Throughout, the meeting gave\nunmistakeable evidence of the vitality\nof the conservative party foil Nelson and\nof public appreciation of the Issues at\nstake.\nOwing to delay in the arrival of the\nGrow boat, on which W. A. Macdonald\nwag travelling to Nelson, the meeting\nbegan later than the time originally\nintended, but the unfortunate occurrence was powerless to dampen the ardor of the meeting and the commencement of the speaking was patiently\nawaited.\nThe chair was takeni by W. Irvine,\nwho introduced W. A. Chesley as the\nfirst speaker. Mr, Chesley gave an admirable address. He pointed out the\nspecially favorable terms of the McBrlde railway agreement by which the\nC.N.R. line would be secured without\nthe cost of a single dollar of public\nfunds, and showed the illogical attitude\nof liberals who contended that the\nguarantee of bonds would be a burden\nto the province and also that the construction off the line was Inevitable\nwithout provincial alg. He showed how\nthe McBride government had placed the\nfinances of the province on a sound\nfoundation, and alluded to the anxiety\nof the opposition to he In a position to\nhandle the funds that the government\nhad husbanded. He sketched the history of the construction of the Central\nrailway by liberals iui New Brunswick,\nwhere <a royal commission found that\n$140,000 was unaccounted for and that\nanother $100,000 had been spent for\npurposes other than the railway. That\nwag the way llbemls .built railways.\nThe McBride government was asking\nthe people to endorse a businesslike\nscheme to develop the resources of the\nprovince. Mr. Chesley referred to the\nlack of faith tn the west that has been\nshown by liberals. When the C.P.R. was\nbuilt they said the west was a howling\nwilderness and that the line would not\npay for axle grease, and only the other\nday a liberal speaker had declared that\ntbe C.N.R, would pass for 200 miles\nthrough an unknown wilderness. It was\nmore than ever Important that the government should he live find progressive, liberals had condemned the purchase of the Hudson's Bay lands and\nthe national policy, but the Laurier\ngovernment had found that the people\nwanted the national policy and it had\nbeen continued. He showed how the\nliberals had said that railways could\nnot he constructed without oriental labor, while the McBride government was\nsecuring the construction of 600 miles\nIn four years, by white labor and at flair\nwages. Other provinces had guaranteed\nthe bonds of the C.N.R. and had never\nbeen called upon to pay a dollar, and\nBritish Columbia would not either. Mr.\nOliver would leave nature to take Its\ncourse, while Mr. McBrlde offers a policy that will make British Columbia\ngreat It 'behooves every intelligent\nman to cast his ballot for British Columbia. The electors should support\nHairry Wright and aid Mr. McBrlde ln\nMb great work. The city would not\nlose anything by doing so. He had\nnever known anyone more energetic,\ndetermined and persevering than Mr.\nWright and If elected he would see\nthat the city got Its. fair share of all\npublic monies. No one would be able\nto take advantage of him. He hoped\nthat Mr. Wright would not only be\nelected but by am overwhelming mar\njorlty and that Mr. McBrlde would be\nshown that Nelson contained an over*\nwhelming number of intelligent people.\nHe urged thnt conservatives be not over\nconfident They should work until the\nlast and on election day should vote\nearly and see that others cast their\nvotes also If they did this Harry\nWright would poll a vote greater than\nT-\nCQNSERVATIVE MEETING\nA publlo meeting In ths Interests of Harry Wright the conservative\ncandidate for Nelson, will be held THIS EVENING in the EAGLE HALL.\nThe speakers of the evening will be G. H. Barnard, M. P. for Victoria,\nJames H. Schofield and Nell F. Mackay, who are seeking reflection, respectively, In Ymlr and Kaslo, and Mr. Wright. The chair will be taken\nat 8:15 o'clock.\nT\nthat of hath of his opponents .combined.\nThe popularity or Harry Wright, the\nconservative candidate for Nelson, was\namply Indicated by the hearty reception he received as he was Introduced\nby the chairman as the next speaker.\nLoud and prolonged applause greeted\nhts rising, and tt was only after an\nappreciable interval that he was enabled to proceed. Hts speech throughout was interrupted by hearty applause,\nand tt was very clear that the sentiments he expressed met with the complete approval of the audience. It was\na splendid fighting speech and was delivered w^h fluency and appropriate\nemphasis.\nMr. Wright commenced by expressing the pleasure which he felt at seeing so large an audience present, and\nhis regret that the lateness of the arrival of the Crow boat had delayed*\nthe appearance of W. A. Macdonald.\nHe then briefly sketched his own career in Nelson. He came here thirteen\nyears ago, on Jun 17, 1897, and worked\nin the postofflce for J. A. Gilker. On\nOctober 1,1898, he received an appointment under the Semlln Cotton government, which he held until 1899, when\nhe was appointed mining recorder. This\nposition he held until he became candidate for the legislature for Ymlr constituency. He left It to the miners to\nBay whether he had not as mining recorder treated them fairly. He had\ntreated all classes alike, and had not\nfavored any section. That his work had\nbeen appreciated was shown at the\nelection. His opponent had been secretary of the Miners' union, yet he had\nbeaten him in every polling place but\n, two. This was due to the support that\nhe had from the miners themselves,\nand he was confident that on November\n25 he would once more be placed at\nthe head of the poll.\nHe had nothing to say against Mr.\nCrease, his opponent on the present occasion. He was a good citizen and a\nfine, quiet gentleman.' But. this was a\nyoung and energetic province. Nelson\nwas the queen ctty of the Kootenays\nand the third business city in the province. What was wanted aB the city's\nrepresentative was a man with vim\nand life and snap. 'Nelson* did hot want\na representative that would go to Victoria to take a rest, as Dr. Hall had\ndone. Mr. Crease should be allowed to\ntake a rest at home, instead ot the\nprovince 'paying him to go to take a\nrest at Victoria, and he believed that\nit would be the privilege of doing the\nformer tnat he would be given on November 25.\nHis opponents had been saying that\nthey could not see why he gave up a\nposition with $1,800 a year to go to\nVictoria at a salary of $1,200. He acknowledged that the position he had\nresigned was an honorable and dignified one, but the problem was not as\ndifficult as his opponents made out.\nMileage allowance would increase the\n$1,200 to $1521.50 and he would have\nten months of the year In which to(\nearn the $278.50 needed to make his\nsalary equal to the one he had resigned,   Surely he could do- that.\nMr. Wright then dealt with the McBrlde government's railway and financial policy. The opening of tbe country\nwas what is required. The government\nhad guaranteed the bonds of the C. N.\nR. for $21,000,000. Alberta had already\nguaranteed bonds for $36,000,000 and\nBritish Columbia was head and shoulders above Alberta ln the extent of\nIts resources tn lands, fisheries and\nminerals. There were' no lands in Alberta belonging to the province. In\n1903, when the legislature assembled\nafter the election of the McBrlde government, the bank told the government\narrangments must be made to meet the\nheavy overdraft. This could only be\ndone by an Increase of taxes. The government accordingly Increased the taxation on railways from $18 to $90 tf\nmile, and the tax on wild lands from\n2 per cent to 4 per cent. It did not lay\nadditional burdens on the wage earner,\nbut taxed those who were best able to\npay. The Income tax and the personal\ntax were not Increased, but the railways and the speculator were called\nupon, At that time there was a provincial debt of $11,500,000 and another\n$1,000,000 had to be borrowed to meet\nthe overdraft. This million had now\nbeen paid off and another two millions\nas well, so that the debt had been reduced to $9,200,000. Against this the\ngovernment had $4,000,000 in the bank.\nIn addition nearly $3,000,000 had been\nrealized from the sale of lands at Point\nGrey, near Vancouver, the other day,\nand the government was tn a position\nto pay off the provincial debt by a sale\nof lands It owned severaLtlmes over.\nThe lands had not been given, to\ngrafters as ln the case of the Dominion\ngovernment. The government had kept\nthem for the benefit of the people. In\ndealing with the O. T. R the McBrlde\ngovernment had kept a quarter interest\nln townsltes, whereas Ottawa had given\nthe company everything it asked for.\nThe O. T. P. had lobbied for two sessions to get a cash and land subsidy\nfrom the McBrlde government, but\nwithout avail. The policy of the McBrtde government was opposed to land\nand cash subsidies. They had been all\nright tn the case of the C. P. R. years\nago. If the C. P. R. had not been secured he did not suppose that many of\nhts bearers would be tn Nelson today.\nThe liberals bad said that the C. P. R.\nwould not pay for axle grease, but he\nwas proud of the C. P. R. and his experience In crossing the continent was\nthat the C. P. R. service was ahead of\nthe American lines.\nThere would be stagnation If the\nMcBrlde policy were not enforced.\nMany would remember the good times\nwhen the Crow's Nest line was building. Every one then had plenty of\nmoney. He remembered when he\nworked for Mr. Gilker that they were\nnot satisfied tf they did not take tn\nfrom $100 to $150 a day.\nPremier McBride's policy would en-\ntall the expenditure of millions in the\ncountry. The road would be built by\nwhtte labor. There would be no Japanese or Chinamen. Colllngwood Schrelber, chief engineer of the Dominion\ngovernment, had said that railways\ncould not be built without Oriental labor, but the McBride government was\ndetermined to protect .white labor, and\nit had also put a fair wage clause In\nthe contract.\nMr. Crease had come out as a liberal,\nbut in his canvass he said that he was\na McCarthy conservative in 1896 and\nthat he would support the McBride government in anything that he believed\nto be right. He liked a man to be a\nman or a mouse, one thing or the other.\nMr. McBrlde did not want Mr. Crease's\nvote In the legislature and Mr. Crease\nwould not have the privilege of voting\nfor or against him. There was only one\nMcBride supporter in the field in Nelson, and that was himself. The province should be proud of such a premier as Mr. McBride and of such a\nbusiness like government it would\nnot be good policy when on the eve of\nprosperity to give the government to\nMr. Oliver. Mr. Oliver was a good,\nbright old fellow, but he was not the\nman for the position of premier. And\nthe same of Mr. Crease.\nMr. Wright asked his hearers to support the McBrlde government if they\nthought It had given good, fair government ln a business like way by voting\nfor him and by working for him If they\nthought him a fit and proper person\nto represent them In the legislature.\nThey owed It to him to do so and they\nowed It to themselves. Nelson had been\nIn opposition for six or seven years and\nIt was time It changed. If elected he\nwould endeavor to do his duty. He\nwould play no favorites. He had made\na good mining recorder, a fairly good\nrepresentative and a good government\nagent, and if elected lie would do his\nbusiness In a business like way. I-Ie-i\ndefied anyone to point a finger at his\nIntegrity. The people of Nelson would\ndo best for themselves and best for\nNelson by voting for him.\nMr. Wright Bat down amid hearty\napplause, and just as the chairman\nagain arose W. A. Macdonald arrived\nand passed through the audience to the\nplatform amid welcoming cheers. Mr.\nMacdonald was Immediately Introduced.\nHe said that It gave him great pleasure to be present with a Nelson audience and that In order to do so he had\nbroken away from East Kootenay. He\nwas glad to report that there everything was all right. Their opponents\ndare not attack them on any public\nIssue, but chose side issues, and tried\nto stir up jealousy in their ranks. On\npublic Issues they had not a foothold\nto stand upon. They dare not attack\nthe government upon any point of its\npolicy for the past seven years. On\nthat they had to acknowledge that the\ngovernment was unassailable. It had\nbrought the province from chaos to\nprosperity so that now it could write\nIts check for $4,000,000.\nThe land laws alone ought to be sufficient to Insure the return of the government to power. Every government\noffice was a land office and tbe intending settler had every assistance, and\nall information was at his disposal,\nand no difference was made between\nmen of different nationality or political\nstripe, 'mis policy was resulting in\nsplendid development of the land resources of the province and It was a\npolicy for British Columbia to be proud\nof.\nTurning to the matter of finances,\nMr. Macdonald pointed out that the\ngovernment had levied heavy taxes,\nand had brought the finances of tbe\nprovince into good shape, and now the\ntime had arrived when a reduction In\ntaxes could be effected. Ab a result\nof the policy of the past, the work of\nadministration could now be efficiently\ncarried on, while returning to the people in the shape of roads and similar\nImprovements a large share of the\nmoneys contributed by them to the\npurposes of government.\nIf a man had a faithful employe, Bald\nMr. Macdonald, and another man applied for the job, would the employer\nnot be apt to give the efficient employe\nthe preference rather than turning\ntoward the Interloper? That was what\nwould happen on November 25. (Applause.)\nThe liberals leveled their criticisms\nat the government's railway policy-; but\non this matter they were eleventh-hour\ninterlopers. The government had not\ntaken up the railway question \"in a wild\nand unconsidered way,\" as charged by\nSir Hibert Tupper, but they had spent\nmonths and years in studying it. But\nthis did not matter in the opinion of\nthose IrreBponslbles whose only efforts\nwere put forth to unsettle the minds of\nthe people. What was the cry of the\nliberals at the last election? That the\nKaien island deal was giving away the\ninterests of the province to the G. T. P.\nPrince Rupert was the sequel of Kaien\nisland, and did the liberals have a syllable to utter on that subject now?\nSimilarly, the liberals would rue the\nday they opposed the bringing of the\nC. N. R. to British Columbia.\nAlluding to the teaching of history,\nthe speaker pointed out that in the early\ndayB of confederation, there Was a national policy that had two main\nbranches, one was a tariff, and the\nother was the uniting of the provinces\nby bands of steel. Prom 1874 to 1878\nthe liberals were in power, and they\nhad no faith in British Columbia. Instead of keeping the solemn promise\nwhich brought British Columbia Into\nconfederation, the liberal government\ntrifled, and trifled, till the anger of the\npeople of British Columbia was aroused,\nand some hotheads almost talked treason. But wiser counsels prevailed, and\nthe province went instead to the foot\nof the throne. \"We are only a small\nprovince,\" was the plea entered, \"but\nwe are entitled to Justice.\" The result\nwas the Carnarvon terms, which required' that the railroad be built, and\nbuilt quickly.\nBut instead of building quickly, the\nliberals built exceeding slow, and the\nconservatives came Into power and\nbuilt the road. By their delay in this\nmatter the liberals so firmly imbedded\ndistrust of themselves ln the minds of\nthe people of British Columbia that for\nyears and years liberal candidates lost\ntheir deposits as regularly as thjey)\ncame to the polls. The liberals said\nthe C. P. R. would rust, and that the\ntraffic would not pay for the axle\ngrease. Hon. Edward Blake called\nBritish Columbia \"a sea of mountains,\"\nand another orator said that the great\nprairie was only good for buffalo. Here\nwere these men pulling back on the\nwheels, and doing all they could to\nmake harder the task of those who\nwere doing things. At one period the\ndirectors of tbe C. P. R. had practically\nto give chattel mortgages on their\nhouses to raise money for the payroll.\nSo Insistently did the liberals hummer\naway on this doctrine tbat the people of\nBritish Columbia almost got to believe\nthey were interlopers.\nBut the conservatives built the C.\nP. R., a great commerce sprang up for\nexchange, population flowed in, and\nBritish Columbia was now proud to be\na part of the great Dominion. Applause.)\nHaving one great road, the west\nwanted more, for If one was good, two\nwere better. On the prairie, Manitoba\nwanted another. The Northern Pacific\nstarted to build In from the south in a\nhalf-hearted manner, but what Manitoba wanted was another railway east\nand west. Presently along came Mackenzie and Mann, who said: \"We will\nnot only buy the N. P. R., but we will\nbuild branch lines, and we will parallel\nthe C. P. R.\" The government of Manitoba said: \"We have only a revenue of\n$700,000 a year, and we have no timber,\nand no lands, as the other provinces\nhave, and no resources. But we want\nthe railway.\" And they bonused the\nC. N. R. $10,000 a mile, and what was\nmore, they aided it to build a line that\nwent out of the province, down to tbe\nlake front, and also ran for some distance in the state of Minnesota.\n\"Of course,\" said the speaker, \"there\nwere hesltators, and opposers, there,\nas we have them here now, but the\nC. N. R. went forward, and in two years\n$400,000 a year went into the farmers'\npocketB through saving In freight rates,\nand not a single dollar was paid out\nby the province of Manitoba for the\nrailroad.\" (Great applause.) If that\nlittle province, with such a. 'meager\nrevenue, and In times when money was\nnot flush, but was scarce, was able to\ncarry out such a policy, what had the\ngreat province of British Coluumbla to\nbe afraid of? If the people of British\nColumbia were the kind that were\nafraid, they would not be here. Yet the\nliberals professed to be atraid qi U\nguarantee of $35,000 a mile for a transcontinental road1 that waB waiting to\ncome In.\nAlberta had a progressive government, and that province had banging\nover it an obligation, of $-36,000,000 for\nrailways. Yet the Rutherford government was returned to power, and the\nopposition in the house was reduced\nto about three members. Saskatchewan likewise believed in the encouragement of railways.\nThe finance minister of British Col-\n(Oontinued on Page Five.)\nSNOWED UNDER BADLY\nTo the Editor of The Dally Newt, Neleon, B.

Brown.)   - -\nI felt Seattle Wednesday, August 4th, 1909, for the northern British Columbia country, went by way\nofl Vancouver iu order to take up some parties there and arrived lit Ashcroft Aug. 6. From there I drove\nwith my own teams, to Soda creek, 165 miles. At Soda creek I embarked for Quesnel on the river steamer Charlotte, owned by James Reid, Ltd., of Quesnel. At Quesnel took saddle horses and went to the Black-\nwater country, from which point I rode south and examined the country thoroughly.\nThe best farming country begins at Soda creek and follows the windings of the Fraser river clear to\niFort George on both sides of the river. Everywhere the growth of vegetation was of the rankest kirad. I\nhad been told of the luxuriance of the vegetation in that northern country, but was not prepared to see\nsueh a superabundant growth extending over such a broad extent of territory. Wild pea vine, vetch, red\ntop, clover and timothy, and other kinds of grasses the names of which I am not familiar with grew everywhere. This wild growth would reach to my saddle stirrups and it affords the most nutritious food for\nlive stock imaginable. Stock everywhere In evidence was rolling fat amd as a stock grazing country it haa\nno superior. For reasons that may be quite obvious to the reader that country has never been cultivated\nto any great extent. Its remoteness from markets nnd the lack of transportation facilities have placed an\nembargo on production that could not be overcome except by the building of railways, but now since the\nGrand Trunk Pacific railway is assured, the world is beginning to comprehend its enormous capabilities and\npossibilities and a rush of settlers will begin that will eclipse anything known in the history of the Great\nCanadian west. Why? Because no finer farm land lies out of doors than that in the great valleys and\nplateaus of northern British Columbia, tributary to tlie Grand Trunk Pacific road across the continent.\nBecause that magnificent region offers inducements to the farmer and stock raiser not possessed by any\nof the prairie provinces. It is, at, once, pre-eminently a grain growing, a stock raising, a fruit, a dairy and\na mining country all in one. In fact, its resources are as varied as they are enormous amd incomparable. In\nshort, for mixed farming which pays better than any one line, there Is none better. Aa a mineral country\nit possesess untold wealth, amd, climatically, it has no superior. Its rainfall is not excessive, yet enough\nprecipitation occurs to keep the ground moist and produce good and never falling crops. It is subject to\nmo blizzards and no such low temperatures prevail as are common to the prairie provinces and which\nmake living a hardship. Its beautiful mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes and streams combine to produce the\nmost beautiful landscape effects. It is one vast game preserve. Deer, caribou, moose, mountain sheep,\nand goats, bear, black, brown and grizzly, feathered game, both water fowl and upland birds, salmon,\ntrout -Mid white fish in marvellous abundance Ln* the lakes, rivers, ond creeks make it the sportsman's paradise.\nHitherto, except to the hardy mountaineer, trapper and prospector, that country of mighty distances\nhas been comparatively unknown. Forty to fifty years ago the miner and prospector was beguiled by the\nthirst for gold and by laborious marches trekked over pathless mountain ranges, forded dangerous mountain, torrents at the risk of his life and underwent hardships and privations that taxed the strength, endurance and hardihood of the stoutest hearts for the lure of gold. Cariboo and Cassiar, then considered as remote from the haunts of men as Dawson and the Tanana in these latter days, drew thousands to their wlldB.\nMany filled their pockets with gold. Some came back poorer than' they went. Now.the wilderness is being linked with the marts of commerce by bands of steel and the boundless hills and vales, will, within\na few short years, yield their wealth to the undaunted empire builder in the form of golden grain and fruit;\nand stock will roam over its limitless hills green with the grasses that nature put there for the countless\nherds and flocks of the future. Prosperous farms and flourishing towns and cities will spring up as If\ntouched by tbe magic wand of some mighty magiciaav and where the vast and silent wilderness existed as\nan unknown quantity the hand of man will have transformed it into cultivated fields, 'neath smiling\nskies and the whistle of the locomotive and river and lake steamer and the sound of the hammer and saw\nwill succeed the whistle of ,the curlew and the barking of the coyote.\nIn that great domain where the wilderness will be made to blossom as the rose in the next few years,\nthere are 200,000 farms simply waiting the hand of the husbandman to develop their rich areas and make\ntheir possessors rich men. Here Is wealth and health for the man of thrift, energy, determination and am-\nhttion. Thousands and teng of thousands of good, industrious, sterling men are struggling for an existence\nin- tihe world\u2014able men\u2014capable men. Is It necessary? No! Not f\u00b0r a\"- It Is rendered necessary, seem\n-tagly by an Immutable law of nature for some men to toll and for others to thrive and succeed on tbe fruits\nof that toil Just as beasts, birds and fishes of prey thrive and fatten and gorge on the weaker and resistless parts of animate nature, but to the fearless, brave and ambitious man success lies Just beyond\n\u2022seemingly insurmountable Impediments to human effort and success lies in the broad, fertile and resourceful areas of northern British Columbia for thousands of sturdy and dauntless mem and women and\nwhat is more precious than ell, health as well as wealth Is to be found In its valleys among its mountains\nand along Its beautiful lakes, rivers and streams. \u2022\nBritish Columbia will undergo a much more rapid growth than Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta\never did because it Is a country of vaster and more varied resources and because its climatic conditions\nare not subject to such extreme and rigorous alterations. The valleys of the Fraser, Bulkeley, Stewart\nJake, Francois lake, Ootsabunket, Nechaco, Klsplox, Chllcotln and many others will be speedily transformed from rolling hills, billowy with luxuriant wild grasses Into smiling farms dotted with innumerable\nhappy and contented homes.\nToo much emphasis cannot be laid upon the fact that the country from Soda creek to Quesnel is the\nonly natural, logical and feasible route for the building of the Vancouver extension of the Grand Trunk\nPacific line from Fort George south. That, with Its natural resources and the advantage of water transportation In addition to rail, the country will grow by leaps and bounds. That the present and future travel\nto the interior of British Columbia to reach the Grand Trunk Pacific lime and the valley through which it\nwill extend will he by the way of Soda creek and Quesnel and on to Fort George, tbat being the shortest,\nquickest and cheapest route. Therefore as a logical sequence the first, most rapid and permanent development will naturally begin and continue along that line of least resistance.\nTheabove isanother sample of letters by men of large experience who have lately examined the land tributary to Fort George.\nEvery man man who has seen this magnificent country unanimously proclaims Fort George the natural\ndistributing center and tbe next large city of the west.\nPrince Rupert lots have nearly all doubled in value since the sale a few months ago. About five million dollars has been invested. Single lots sold as high aB $18,000. Prince Rupert has so far only one\nrailway in sight.   Fort George has lines projected In every direction.\nGreat stretches of agricultural land make the most solid foundation for a city. In this respect Fbrt\nGeorge stands pre-eminent.\nBuy before the rush, Have a few lots to offer the eager thousands who will soon be rushing to the\ncoming great city.\nSend in your order and trust us to make a selection for yon. __    ;\nThe Wright Investment Company\nBaker Street       -     -     -     -       Nelson, B.

The state department, having been now for nearly\n48 hours in possession of the main facts\nof the case, has adopted am attitude of\nreserve amd Is awaiting some sort of an\nexplanation from the Nlcaraguan government. It is fairly assumed that the\npress dispatch received last night ilrom\nManagua is accurate in the statement\nthat the men were executed after a\ncourt martial on a charge that they\nhad attempted by the use of dynamite\nmines to blow up some of president\nZelaya's troop transports.\nIf the department's advices confirm\nthis story the question, at issue will be\nwhether the charge against the men,\nassuming it is proved, justified their\nexecution. Probably everything will depend upon the method pursued by Cannon and Grace in their attempts upon\nZelaya's forces. If it should appear that\nthe Americans slipped within the lines\nof the government forces under disguise when they planted their mines,\nthey might be regarded as spies and so\nbe subject to summary execution. But\nIf they engaged In their work openly\nIt will probably b\u00a9 held that they\nshould have been held as prisoners of\nwar on the theory -that an attack upon\n\u2022a ship by a mine is an act of lawful\nwarfare.

C.\n\u2022SIR   HIBBERT  WRITES\nThe Cranbrook Herald In its last issue gives prominence to a letter froni\nsir Charles Hlbbert Tupper attacking\njbe McBrlde government's railway policy and it is only fair <U> say that a\nweaker dissertation on a public question has never been penned by any\npublic man in Canada of eir Hlbbert's\nability and standing. Probably the\nweakness of the cause he bas espoused,\nhowever, has something to do witli the\ncharacter of tlie letter. A perusal of\nthe letter reveals on sir Hibbent's part\na well defined amlmoslty to both the\nMoDride government and to. the Canadian Northern* ..railway and. presents\nsome facts regarding the Canadian Pacific's attempt to block the Manitoba\ngovernment's agreement with Mackenzie & Mann which have not up to the\npresent been public property and which,\nLa the interests of the cause he is supporting at the moment, should have\n\u25a0been le-St for the private Information of\nthe Canadian Pacific and Its friends.\nThe only point which str Hlbbert mak*e\nagainst the government's railway policy,\nif point It can be called, is the contingent liability which the province assumes in connection with IU guarantee\nol the Cauadiun Northern's bonds. He\nalso, it may be said, takes the ground\nthat no railway should receive assistance from the government of British\nColumbia for any line which it may\nbuild.\nWith sir Hlbbert's animosity to the\nMcBride government, which has existed\nnow for some years, in fact practically\nsince that government came Into offloe\nand was quite apparent ia the general\nelectlona of 1907, when premier Mc-\n\u25a0Bride was triumphantly returned to\npower, and with .the fact that his feelings toward the Canadian Northern railway are anything but friendly, the people, df lir-^irj^-Qjambia lfcvcj rtrthlng\nto thl.   Thes-garejjiatter j wmjk con-\nIn regard! tio the guaranteeing' of the\nCanadian Northern's <bonds by the government of Manitoba- eight years ago,\nair Hlbbert, after attacking the McBrlde government for springing \"upon\nthe people for immediate decision a proposition involving the province in a liability unparalleled In the history of\nthe world,\" goes on to say: \"The example of Manitoba is held: up to us by\nMr. McBride. Mr. Roblln ln that case\nconferred with political friends, opponents and business men generally. He\nentered into no secret agreement.\"\nSir HUlbert's complaint about the\ngovernment having sprung its railway\npolicy upon- the people and1 his comparison between, the methods being pursued\nby premier McBride and that followed\nby Mr. Roblln is, in the one case, probably the result of not having kept In\ntouch with the trend of affairs In this\nprovince during the past year or so and,,\nin the other, perhaps unknowingly beside the facts, while his- insinuation;\nabout there being no secret contract\nin tbe case of Manitoba is unworthy of\nMm It has .been general knowledge\nfor- months past that the government\nwas In negotiations wflth the Canadian\nNorthern railway.for the extension of\ntbe company's system through British I\nColumbia. This fact was in fact openly\nannounced by the premier and the representatives of the railway months before an agreement was finally reached\nand was discussed In all the leading papers of the province,\nThe statement made by sir Hlbbert\nIn his letter that the McBrlde government's railway policy will involve the\nprovince \"in a liability unparalleled in\nthe world\" ts hard to understand. The\ncontingent liability being assumed by\nthe province, not one dollar o! which\n\u25a0the province will ever have to pay, Is\n$21,000,000, while the government of\nManitoba has guaranteed \"the bonds of\nthe same railway to the extent of $23,-\n000,000 and the government of Alberta\nat the last session of tho legislature\nguaranteed the bonds of three railways,\nithe Canadian Northern, the Grand\nTrunk Pacific and the Alberta Great\nWaterways line to no less a sum than\n136,000,000. What then becomes of sir\nHibbert's talk of the British) Columbia\nguarantee being unparalleled In the his-\n\u2022tory of the world. One tiring ln con-\n| neotlon with* tho MdBrJd#;\u00ab<W6riinwint^\nagreement with ffig'^am1ttliinv^tftll^ft'\n^*q\u00ab^BffR5^m#AWW(*l\neration entirely bat which has an Important bearing on the matter Is the\nfact that the province will be protected\nby a first mortgage on the company's\nlines in British Columbia as well as a\nHen upon the earnings of the Canadian\nNorthern system as a whole.\nThe difference between the methods\nibelng followed by premier McBrlde and\nthat which was followed by premier\nRoblln, which sir Hlbbert brings into\nthe discussion, was that the latter, as\neither he or Mr. McBrlde had the right\nto do, made a hard and fast agreement\nwith the Canadian Northern and, some\ndays after doing so, announced Its\nterms in a public speech made at Neep-\nawia, while the former has entered Into\na -draft agreement which is being submitted ito the people of the province for\ntheir approval. If the people say ito,\nthe agreement will be carried into effect; if they declare otherwise by returning Mr. John Oliver to power It\nwill not be. The people of Manitoba\nnever had any opportunity such as is\nbeing given the people of this province\nto pass upon the government's agreement with the Canadian Northern.\nAnd just In passing, it may be noted\nthat when premier Roblln made his\nagreement with the Canadian Northern\nsome leading conservatives ln the province, men who had been looked up to\nfor years as leaders of the party in\nManitoba, did their best to prevent Its\nbeing carried into effect, just as sir\nHlbbert 1s doing at the present time,\nbut within two years every one of these\nopponents of premier Roblin's railway\npolicy had come forward voluntarily\nand openly confessed that they had\nbeen mistaken la the stand they had\ntaken and acknowledged that Mr. Roblln had been right and that his railway policy had resulted In untold benefit to the province and it Is quite likely\nthat two years from mow sir Hlbbert\nwill be doing the same in regard to\npremier McBride's railway policy.\nAs to the flight which the C.P.R. made\nto prevent the carrying into effect of\npremier Roblin's agreement guaranteeing tiie Canadian Northern's bonds\nhere Is what sir Hlbbert says: \"Om the\nannouncement of this policy the Canadian Pacific immediately offered a reduction of 4 cents per 100 lbs. on grain\ncharged; 50 cents per ton on coal\nbrought into the provinoe from lake\nSuperior; $2.40 on salt brought into the\nprovinoe, local rates throughout the\nprovince to be reduced 15 per cent.. ..\nIn general it was considered that the\nCanadian Pacific's offer amounted to\n$761,000 annually.\"\nThis was the price that the C.P.R. In\n1901 was wining to pay in order to prevent the carrying Into effect of premier\nRoblin's agreement for the guaranteeing of the bonds of the Canadian Northern railway. At that time the C.P.R.\nhad no opposition In Manitoba worth\nspeaking of, Just as today it has none\nworthy ofi the name In British Columbia. Then it wanted to keep tho Manitoba field' for Itself just as today it\nwould like to retain control of the British Columbia field.\nAs to sir Hibberfs insinuation about\nthere having 'been \"no secret agree1-\nment\" in the case of-Manitoba, which\nThe News has already referred to as\nunworthy of him, ft may be pointed' out\nthat premier McBride has submitted' a\ndraft agreement with the Canadian\nNorthern to the people of the province\nand' has told them frankly and fairly\nthat, if they so declare by returning him\nto power he will then enter into a for-\nimal contract, such as that negotiated\niby premier RoblTn before he announced\nits terms, which will require to be ratified Uy the British Columbia legislature, as was the Manitoba agreement\nby the legislature of that province, before 'becoming- effective.

In other words premier\nMcBrlde is leaving the matter entirely\nwith the people. Where is there any\nsecrecy about this, and what Is there to\njustify sir Hlbbert's insinuation that\nthere ts any?\nAs remarked at tiie start of this ar\nticle The News considers sir Hlbbert's\nletter a weak one, in no way in keeping\nwith the ability .which the writer has\ndisplayed in regard to other matters.\nUnless sir Hlbbert can bring forward\nsome better grounds for opposing premier McBrlde's railway policy than are\nadvanced In this letter he will have a\ndifficult task in justifying the course\nhe is pursuing In regard to tt. As fair\nas the letter Is concerned it may be\nsaid la conclusion that The Cranbrook\nHerald and the opponents of the government generally are quite welcome to\nany comfort they can derive from tt.\nThe Wrong Glass\nIf your present glasses fail to give you ease and comfort, there's\nsomething wrong.

But the province\nhad other great resources that had\nhawMy been heard of hitherto. IThet\nsale of 660 acres of land at Point Grey\nthis week had netted $3,000,000, and\nthere were scores of valuable townsltes\nthat would bring nearly as much money\nas Prince Rupert. Yet some blind liberals, not learning frrfm all the experience of the past, must still oppose.\nIn Manitoba, on the prairie, where\nthere were no obstacles to building in\nany direction desired, the C. N. R.\nparalleled the G. P. K., and with government aid\u2014they built, for Instance,\nfrom Winnipeg to Portage la Prairie,\nand on to Branton. But In British Col*\numbla there was not the element or\nchoice, for there were only certain\nports of entry\u2014the Yeliowhead, the\nKicking Horse, the Crow's Nest, and\nthe Flathead passes. All railway builders admitted that the Yeliowhead was\nthe best, so objection No. 1 was disposed of. But the best grades were\nalong the Fraser river. The liberal:\nwanted to build toward the Hope mountains, in a sort of \"figure 8,\" but sucli\na line would have to go over a mountain at a 2% per cent grade, against\na % per cent' grade at most by the\nFraser river route. Railway builders\nwere sacrificing distance to grade nowadays, and a good grade was absolutely\nnecessary In a road that was going to\ncompete.\nThe libera^ said there was nothing\nin the contract between the C. N. R.\nand the government about the road being mortgaged to the province as security for the guarantee, \"Well, in ordinary business life,\" said Mr. Macdonald, if I endorse a man's note, and he\nbas got security for that note, that security is mine also.\" Or in some cases\na government dealt more directly still\nwith a railway company, and on endorsing the bonds, got a direct mortgage.\nIt did seem .as If the liberals could\nbring nothing but foolish criticisms\nagainst the government's railway policy.\nIf It came to the worst, a road that\ncost $60,000 a mile to build, would become the property of the province un-\nder a guarantee of $35,000 a mile. The\nfirst time Interest was not paid, the\nroad would automatically ^ass over to\nthe province. If'that should happen,\nthe province was strong enough to bear\nthe brunt. The guarantee had not a\nparticle of effect on the province's\ncredit abroad. Look at the assets ln\nthe timber and the mines. The petty\ncriticisms of the liberals were not\nworth a thinking man's attention, except for the purpose of meeting them,\n\"So let us bring in the C. N. ft\/,\" said\nMr. Macdonald, \"and get all tbe advantages of a competing road.\" He had always admired the C. P. R., hut he had\na use for another road. Bring in the\ncompeting road, and the reduction of\nrates would automatically follow.\nAnother question asked by liberals\nwas why the G.T.P. Had net been invited instead of the C.N.R. As a mat*\nter of fact they had been asked. And\nthey made a proposition to the govern\n.ment, offering to build Into the central\npart of the province. But they asked a\nland grant of 15,000 acres per mile, a\n30 years' exemption from taxation uud\n\u25a0that the province should give up Its\nright to one-quarter of the towasites.\nThe first condition alone was 03110! to\n$37,5|00 per mile and not a mere ituar-\nantee, but a gift outright. The value of\nthe second and third conditions could\nbe seen from the history ofi Prince Ru-\nl\u00abrt. Was It any wonder the govern\nment did not close a deal with the\nG.T.P.?\nMr. Macdonald now spoke for a few\nminutes on the question of white labor. Men who could criticize the McBrlde government on that point, he\nsaid, were either ignorant, or careless,\nand he preferred to call the liberal\nspeakers careless. The question of having the G.T.P. in British Columbia\nbuilt by white labor came up ia* the\nhouse and J. A. Macdonald, leader of\nthe opposition, proposed a clause providing that only white labor should be\nemployed. It looked very innocent at\nfirst, but the government reflected and\nIt was immediately apparent that if the\nclause went into the act, the act would\nbe disallowed at Ottawa. He would\nnot go so far as to say the liberals\nproposed the clause with the intention\nof having the clause disallowed, but\nthey certainly proposed it with the desire to secure a temporary advantage,\nknowing that the government would\nhave to vote it down. But the government said: \"The G.T.P. will have to\ncome to us later for various things, and\nthen we will make an agreement for\nwhite labor.\" The prediction waa fulfilled and now -the G.T.P. was bound by\na cast Iron agreement to only employ-\nwhite labor In the building of the road\nwithin the province. \"And If you want\nproof,\" declared Mr. Macdonald, \"there\nIs the G.T.P. being built now with only\nwhite labor.\"   (Great applause.)\nNow, the McBride government was\ngoing to the country with a record that\nwas unassailable and also with a splendid railway policy. It wtta doing the\nright thing by the country. But how\nwere the liberals acting? Why, they\nwere pursuing in regard to this great\nscheme the same old line followed ton\n1874 and 1878, in reference to the build,\ntng of the C.P.R. At the period named,\neastern Canada was almost Hit the soup-\nkitchen stage, and manufacturers were\non their knees, but the liberal govemr\nment Baid: \"We are merely fHea on\nthe wheel.\"\nAre ithe people of B. C. going to\ndeclare that they are flies on the\nwheel? asked Mr. Macdonald. Are they\ngoing to turn aside from the policy that\nthe other progressive provinces have\nadopted.and are they., j&lpg tostopltbe\nwheels of progress?. The liberals, iald\n-the C.N.R. would^buUt:te.wi(y.ovbnt\n8^fe^#WwhBtt? jjjjjWi\npeople of British Columbia propose ta\nbuild tills road now, or to leave It to\ntheir sons? If the government were\ndefeated, the road -would inevitably be\nchecked. When Mackenzie & Mann\nwent Into the money markets of the\nworld, the financiers would say, \"Brit-'\nIsh OolumiMa turned you down* and\nwould not give you even a guarantee\nof your bonds, how oan you expect us\nto buy them?\"\nMr. Macdonald created great enthusiasm by his concluding reference to\nNelson, where he formerly lived. \"I\nhave come back, said he, \"to see If\nNelson ls going to be ln line, and to\nsee If the premier I follow will go back\nwith a Nelson man at his back. You\nare waging \u00ab splendid fight here and\nby your unanimous nomination you\nplaced In the field a true conservative,\nwho Is getting all your support. But\nlet me warn you, There are insidious\nInfluences at work In* tills campaign\nhere, and they are working behind the\nscenes. The opposition do not expect\nto w'fn on their own merits but they\nhope to win by weaning away conservatives from their party allegiance.\nTake It from an old campaigner, it is\nthe last vote that wins. Sir John A.\nMacdonald said two things were mighty\nuncertain, a horse race and an election..\nYou do not know your horse has won\nuntil he has gone under the wire. See\nevery man, and if one emissary is not\nenough, send two.\n\"On election light, at the coast, I will\nlook confidently for the message: Nelson has gone conservative. Harry\nWright Is our member.\" (Great applause.)\nChairman Irvine (announced that a\npublic meeting would foe held tonight.\nalso In Eagles' hall, which would be\naddressed by G. H. Barnard, M.P. for\nVictoria, Mr. Barnard ibeing the conqueror of Hon. Mr. Templeman.\n\"How Is it going at the coast?\" w.is\nthe query volleyed from the back of tlie\nhall, and Mr, Macdonald was able to\nspeak words of great cheer. The government was carrying ttie war into\nAfrica, in other words, the opposition\nwas fighting to hold its seats.\n\"In conclusion,\" said Mr. Macdonald,\n\"vote for premier McBrlde and you\nwill be voting for your province and\nfor yourselves.\"\nThe rousing rally broke up with three\nCheers for premier McBrlde, three\ncheers and a tiger for Hairry Wright,\nand three cheers for Mr. Macdonald\nand the chairman.\nLoses Sight of Eye.\n\u2022 (Special to Tlie Daily News.)\nGHAND PORKS, Nov. 19,-Mlke Lyden\nWhite, employed on the dump at the\nGranby smelter, this afternoon had the\nmisfortune to lie struck in the ball of the\nright eye by a flying piece of steel, and\nhad the sight of the eye totally destroyed.\n\"When a cold becomes settled In the system, It will take several days' treatment\nto cure It, and the best remedy to use la\nChamberlain's Cough Remedy.
