The delegation from the Portland chamber of commerce and from\nthe states of Oregon and Washington\ngenerally consisted ot United States\n\u2022Senator Chamberlain of Oregon; C. F.\nAdams, A. H. Devera, and D. M. Swee-\ngert, of Portland; 0. W. Barrlnger, Marcus, Wash.; Fred McDermott, Kettle\nFalls, Wash.; and Capt. W. P. Gray,\n(Pascoe, Wash. The delegation representing the interior of British Columbia, particularly the Boundary and the\nKootenay, consisted chiefly of members\nof the Associated Boards of Trade of\nEastern British Columbia, though several delegates represented Individual\nboards of trade, the members being,\n. beside Chairman Starkey, W. B. Farris\nand E. K. Beeston, Nelson; B. R. Atkins, Revelstoke; Noble Binns, Trail;\nA. I. Fisher, Fernie; M. A. Macdonald,\nCranbrook; George Clark, Grand Forks,\nand G. E. Thompson, Phoenix. The\nSpokane chamber of commerce wired\nregrets that its delegation waB'unable\nto come, owing to \"illness and forest\nfires distress.\"\nOthers Present.\nIn addition to the delegations proper,\nthere were ln the court room, Martin\nBurrell, M. P. for Yale-Cariboo; Ralph\nSmith, M. P. for Nanaimo; G. 0. Buchanan, John Keen and H. Glegerlch,\nof KaBlo; F. J. Deane, of Cranbrook;\nand a large number of prominent citizens of Nelson, the number including\nMayor Selous, W. C. Wells, Aid. Rutherford, E. Ferguson, J. L. Buchan, J. M.\nLay, W. H. JoneB, A. M. Johnson, W.\nG. Foster, Sheriff Tuck, E. A. Crease,\nJames O'Shea, W. F. Roberts, H. E.\nDouglas, K. K. BJerkness, S. A. Kelly,\nW. H. Bullock-Webster, and others.\nPresident Starkey.\nF. A. Starkey said that as president\nof the Nelson board of trade and of the\nassociated boards of trade of the Kootenay, he had great pleasure in Introducing gentlemen not only from Nelson,\nand the Kootenay but also from Portland, as well as representatives of\n-Spokane. They would address Sir\nWilfrid on a matter which they believed to be of vital importance to this\ncountry. While a portion of the proposed water route lay in another country, yet he believed that, by treaty the\nwhole of the Columbia as far as Its\nmouth was a river in whose navigation\nCanada had equal rights with the\nUnited States, As the opening of the\nwhole ot this river to navigation would\nbenefit us we should appreciate the\nwork being done on the other side of\nthe boundary line and should complete\nit by similar work on this side.\nUndef present conditions the rate to\nthe Kootenay was very much higher\nthan rates to the coast cities, although\ntbe latter were further from the points\nwhere the freight originated. The reason given for this was the position ot\nthe coast cities where they could bring\nin goods by water. If the Kootenay\nhad competition by water rates would\nbe very much reduced. If with the\nassistance of the premier and the government the Kootenay obtained a navigable route to the coast, the people here\nwould be in a much better position to\ndevelop the natural resources of this\ncountry. Mr. Starkey concluded by\nextending a welcome to the premier and\nhis fellow visitors.\nW. B. Farris.\nW, B. Farris expressed his regret that\nit had been impossible to obtain data\nas complete as would-have been desirable but hoped that as the government\nhad always shown Itself willing to undertake works for the advantage of the\ncountry it would look favorably upon\nthe proposal and take action to Investigate Its cost and feasibility.\nFeasibility.\nThe scheme was to make the Colum-\n' bta river navigable from West Robson\n(Continued on page two.).\nNELSON a C\u00ab TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 30, 1910\nMAKE RESTRICTIONS\nLESS DRASTIC\nFamily of Man Who Has Obtained Employment Will Not Need Mone.\ntary Qualification\nOTTAWA, Aug. 29\u2014Mr. D. W. Scott,\ncommissioner of Immigration returned\nlast week ttom Great Britain where he\nspent a month conferring with emigration agents and inspecting the agencies.\nThe new regulations which were put\nInto force this spring caused considerable protest in the old country, particularly the money qualifications required.\nIt was as to this phase of the situation\nthat Mr. Scott particularly -wished to\nenquire and as a result of representations 'made, it is understood that a\nmodification will ibe made to some extent.\nWhere an immigrant locates Jn Canada, secures permanent employment\nand demonstrates his ability to keep his\nfamily the money qualification of $25\nnow exacted will not be required when\n\u25a0the wife and children come out to join\nbim. This applies only to assisted Immigration. As railroad construction\nlaborers and also mechanics coming to\nassured employment do not require this\namount, the monetary qualifications\nwill be exacted only from those without definite employment arranged.\nDesirable Immigrants\nMr. Scott came over by the Empress\nof Britain and on lt he says were 900\nmost desirable immigrants. He states\nthat the outlook for next season is\nsplendid.\nAustralia Is now conducting an active Immigration propaganda and in\nthat is a competitor against Canada but\nso far on account of the great.distance,\nnot a very formidable one. With the\nmodification which has ibeen made, Mr.\nScott thinks tbe Immigration regulations will no longer be a cause of dissatisfaction. They are calculated to encourage the steady and industrious\nclasses, while keeping out or tending\nto keep out those who through Indolence would likely become a charge on\nthe community. Mr. Scott says that\ntimes in the old country are better and\nthere is renewal of industrial activity.\nQUEENS OWN HAS\nROYAL WELCOME\nFive.

All through British\nColumbia he said, people had turned\nout ln large numbers without regard\nto political proclivities. The meetings\nhad not only been large ibut had also\n\u25a0been enthusiastic.

Some yearB ago, at the request of the mining Interests of the province and particularly of this district,\nthe Dominion government voted a subsidy bn the production of lead of $50,-\n000. That sun* of money has not yet\nbeen exhausted. The production of lead\nduring those years haa been maintained\nat a normal level, I believe. That subsidy on lead has been of enormous benefit to this section. Without It I doubt\nvery much whether the lead mining Industry would bave 'been as successful\nas lt has during the past five or six\nyears. There has now come a time in\nthe lead-zinc ores when, the production\nhas fallen off. There are many mines\nIn this part of the province producing\nlow grade ores of zinc and jead and In\nmany cases the zinc cannot\" be recovered profitably by reason of the difficulty\nIn smelting zinc. That money was voted and I have found since I arrived in\nthis city a great many inquiries as to\nhow we propose to spend it. I think\nthis is a proper opportunity to explain\nthe course we propose to take. Our\nfirst step has been to secure the services of an eminent mining engineer In\nLondon to make a report upon all the\nelectrical smelting processes at present\nknown In Europe. That mining engineer, Mr. Harbojird, Ib at present engaged In that work. We have also retained the services of Mr. Ingalls, a\nname familiar to most mining men. I\nthink, aa the greatest zinc expert ln\nAmerica. We are at the present time,\ntherefore, Investigating. When we have\nthe reports of these experts we will\nform a -plan of procedure aB to experimentation. J might say that we have\nreceived from the Canada Zinc company\nowning the zinc smelter at Nelson, the\nentire record of the experiments carried on here for some months, which I\nbelieve resulted In a certain measure of\nsuccess, but which was not entirely successful. The data is being considered\nby Mr. Ingalls, who will make a report\nupon It. It is proposed as soon as we\nreceive and consider all the information that can be obtained as to results\nachieved thus far In the electric smelting of zinc to submit that evidence, to\nthe best experts we can find, the best\nmetallurgists and chemists and smelting men on the continent and to be\nguided by their advice as to the experimentation we shall carry on. It is proposed by Dr. Hannel, the director of the\nmines department, to carry on if possible experiments in the zinc smelting\nprocess attaur zinc, smelter fn. Nelson,\nprovided^ orcourse, that the \"\"exerts\nrecommend it. I had a conversation\nwith Mr. Ingalls myself in New York\nand he thought in all probability it\nwould be found expedient to take up\nthe snyder process and try to bring it\nto success if possible.\nAt Nelson\n\"Now I want it to be distinctly understood thnt this is a difficult problem.\nWe may succeed and we may not. It\nmay be that we shall spend all the\n\u25a0money and may not find the solution,\n-but we know the enormous benefit thnt\nwill result to this portion of British\nColumbia if a commercially successful\nprocess for smelting low grade zinc ores\nmay be found. 'We are proceeding carefully; very little money, has been expended yet. IWe shall procure the best\nadvice obtainable and probably carry on\nexperiments In a small way in other\nplaces where there are experts and\nsmall laboratories In which the work\nmay be carried on in a small scale and\nthen when, we are in a position to attempt smelting on a commercial scale\nwe expect the work will be carried on\nat the zinc smelter near Nelson.\"\nMr. Templeman concluded by referring to tbe success of Sir Wilfrid's tour\nand said that all members of the party\nwould carry away with them very favorable impressions of Nelson.\nRalph Smith\nThe next speaker was Ralph Smith,\nM P, who said that on every other occasion 'when he had been in Nelson it\nhad been for the purpose of assisting in\na political fight.\n\"If ithe enthusiasm manifested all\nthrough British Columbia represents,'\ncontinued Mr. Smith, \"the loyalty of the\nliberal vote then this province will restore herself to her former political position at the next opportunity. If a\ngood government and a good policy,\nhaving good national effects means anything British Columbia should make\nevery effort to regain this position.\n\"When I was In Nelson before I saw\neverywhere a \"poster on which I read:\n'Vote for Goodeve and a White B.C..'\nI took this aB an Invitation to support\nthe Liberal party, the onlv party which\nhas attempted seriously and with success\nto settle this question of such importance to British Columihia. This was a\nquestion which had to be solved without\ninjury to the nation, without destroying\nthe integrity of a British treaty nnd\nto the complete satisfaction of tiie people of the province.\nOriental Labor\n\"I noticed in The Toronto News the\nother day an editorial having reference\nto the employment of oriental labor on\nthe G.T.P. railway and to a statement\nthat such was necessary. The editorial\nwriter went on to say that, the C.P.R.\nand the C.N.R, had not, and did not\nemploy orientals, that there was plenty\nof white labor and that there was no\nreason why the GT.P. should employ\nany on Its construction.\nA strange thing about this article is\nthat the O.T.P. never employed orientals on Its construction work. Another\nthing Ib that the Canadian Northern\nhas never bad an opportunity to employ\nan Asiatic In British Columbia, the Canadian Northern has not built a foot\nof track In U^yo-ftnce. The only rall-\n(ConUnusd on Vaaa Tone.)\nNOT OUT ITU\nMethodist Conference Takes\nNo Action\nJACKSON DISPUTE\nUNDER DISCUSSION\nDr. Cleaver Leads Criticism-\nAmendment is Carried\nby Large Majority\n(Speclat to The Daily Newa.)\nVICTORIA, Aug. 29\u2014After discussing\nthe Jackson controversy and tbe teachings of heresy generally throughout the\nchurch for upwards of three hours, the\nMethodist conference today decided by\na vote of 125 to 84 not to deal with what\nhas become a famous question, but to\nleave it to the regular procedure appointed by the church.\nRev. Dr. Cleaver of Toronto, led an\nattack on the professor ot the English\nBible in Victoria university while that\ngentleman was warmly championed by\nChancellor Burwash and N. W. Howell,\none of the leading laymen or the church.\nThe discussion was followed keenly by\na full attendance of delegates and\ncrowded galleries.\nAttacks Dr. Jackson.\nDr. Cleaver expressing himself quite\nwarmly and earnestly plunged Into the\nheart of his complaint against Dr.\nJackson by quotations from his writings and that of men for and against\nhigher criticism with AsyreologiBts declaring there were not records to prove\nthe Bible story of the deluge and others\ndeclaring that there were. Dr. Jackson, he said, hastened to take his stand\nwith the former. To himself this waa\none of the saddest features of the case.\nUntil he had absolute proof he would\nnever give up anything in the Bible.\nContinuing Dr. Cleaver said, \"It Ib very\nunfair to young men to compel them'\nat the very door of the ministry, to\npass through these colleges and hear\nthings we do not believe, tilings that\nare not true, things that cannot convince grown men and women and those\nof experience. Men who cannot convince their fellows, are allowed to take\nyoung fellows, fresh from the farm, immature and Inexperienced and poison\ntheir minds, if this thing is not stopped\nwe have sold our birthright for a mess\nof pottage.\"\nInjurious Doctrines.\nDr. Cleaver's motion asked the conference to state that it was regrettable\nthat, in the colleges of church, orally\nand In publication, there had been set\nforth doctrines of an unsettling and injurious character, that as a conference\nlt express Its strong disapproval of\nall such teaching as having a tendency\nto disparage the deity and infallibility\nof Christ while on earth, to weaken the\nauthority of Christ and his apostles and\nto discredit the scriptures ns a trustworthy revelation from God. The motion detailed half a dozen points as\nspecimens of the doctrines complained\nof, such as the unscientific character\nof the early chapters of Genesis, that\nChrist has assumed the Mosaic authorship of the pentateucb and the David\nauthorship of 110th Psalm which modern scholarship denied, that a man may\nnot do violence to his Intellectual conscience at the bidding of any authority\nno matter how august, that on questions\nof morals Jesus ts to be listened to, but\nIn such matters as casting out of the\ndevils, ignored.\nF. W. Winter, Toronto, seconding tho\nmotion, expressed tbe most kindly feelings for the church but declared himself\nfirmly opposed to the higher criticism.\nThe Amendment.\nDr. Watson of Toronto, moved In am*\nendment, seconded by Rev. Principal\nSparling, of Winnipeg, that as the matters of the motion were such as called\nfor the most careful and mature deliberation of those best fitted to adjudicate, and sb the general conference was\nby constitution and usage legislative\nrather than a court of trial, and so\ncould not give patient and calm deliberation which the highest interests of\ngreat truth and high fellowship demanded, as the church had a method of\nprocedure on cases of supposed departure from its teachings which would\nnot tend to stifle the candor of professors and would keep Inviolate the\ndoctrines and principles of the church,\nit be resolved that \"having provided\nadequately for cases such as referred\nto In the resolution, that the general\nconference reaffirmed Its allegiance to\nChrist as king. Saviour and God, and\nits faithful adherence to the word of\nGod which liveth and reigneth forever.\"\nRev. Dr. Speer wanted the word \"Infallible\" added but the mover declined.\nDefends Colleague.\nChancellor Burwash approached the\ndefence of his colleague ln the professoriate of Victoria university with\ncalmness and deliberation. Tbe matter\nwas one, he said, which was most Important and affected the whole future\nof the church. Nothing stood out more\nprominently In Mr. Wesley's teachings\nand Methodism than the principles of\nliberty ot conscience and liberty ot\nthought within certain well defined\nfundamental positions in their standards of doctrine. It was the departure\nfrom these principles tbat had led to\nthe lighting of the Smithfield fires,\nthat Protestantism overthrew, if there\nhad been any one principle of Protestantism which Mr. Wesley adhered, It\nwas that fundamental principle of liberty of conscience.\nFundamental Doctrines.\n\"There are certain fundamental doctrines which we cannot depart from,\"\nsaid the chancellor. \"The deity of\nChrist is one and another is authority\nof the word of God. So far aB the\nfaculty of Victoria college is concerned\nthere is not a man there who does not\nbelieve and who does not teach In as\nstrong a way as the mover of this resolution or any other man on the floor of\nthis conference today, these two fundamental and essential doctrines, with all\nhis heart.\"\nCertain Points Accepted,\nDr. Burwash claimed that no church\nhad a better or fairer way of trying any\nallegations of heresy than their own,\nand that was where matters should be\ndealt with calmly and deliberately. Dr.\nWatson's resolution was one which\nsummed up the position tbat the conference should take for it was not a\nbody which could properly deal with\nsuch things. Higher critics differed in\ntheir theories just as_chemists differed*\nand just aB differences existed In\ntheories on any and all scientific questions. A distinguished Roman Catholic once wrote a book on differences\nof Protestantism to prove that in the\noneness ot doctrine of his church was\nthe only truth. In no college of the\nMethodist church was higher criticism\ntaught ab a principle, but there were\ncertain things It had brought to light,\nwhich were now accepted by the great\nbody of the Christian world and accepted as true, while theories emanating\nfrom Germany were speculation away\nup in the air. The prevalence of these\nGerman speculations was attributable\nto the fact that a man could not secure\nhis degree as doctor of philosophy\nwithout writing a thesis which advanced something new. All the conference\nhad to do was to ask whether in any\nof the colleges there was any teaching\nwhich interfererd with the belief in the\ndeity of ChriBt, and were any such\nteachings interfering with the authority\nof the word of God, as these doctrines\nwere set forth in the standards of the\nchurch. Dr. Burwash then refererd to\nWesley's position as set forth in his\n\"notes on the New Testament,\" and almost identical statements by Dr. Jackson.\nThe Other Side.\nN. W. Rowell, K. Ci, said he was on\n\"the other side\" from the mover and\nseconder not because he wanted to approve of particular ideas but because he\nloved the Methodist church and wanted\nto see it doing the things thnt are essential.

As to its feasibility Capt. Gray would state the point\nto which it is now navigable from Ub\nmouth and the points at which It required to be made navigable. The\nAmerican governments were looking\nafter the \"work on the other side of\nthe boundary. What had to be done\non this side was to make navigable for\nall seasons the thirty-three miles from\nWest Robson to the boundary. Part\nof it was already thus navigable and\nCapt. Gore had stated that all of it is\nnavigable when the water was four\nfeet.above the summer level. All that\nwaa necessary to make it navigable\nall the year round was to provide for\nthat four fe^t of water at a few places.\nWhether this could best be done by\ndredging or by locks was a Question to\ninvestigate.\nGrain Rates.\nThe benefits to be obtained from the\nopening of this route might be illustrated by showing the disadvantages\nunder which the districts concerned lay\nln. the matter of transportation charges\naa compared with places which had\nwater competition. The distance from\nWinnipeg to Fort William was 440\nmiles; that from Alberta to West Robson was 370 miles. They might therefore expect as low a rate from Alberta\nto West Hobson as from Winnipeg to\nFort William; that is a .rate of 10 cents\nper hundred pounds. From Fort Will-\nlam to Buffalo, 3200 miles, the rate\nby the lakes was five and five-sixth\ncents; from West Robson to Portland,\n780 miles, the rate after allowing for\nthe difference between river and lake\nnavigation should not he more than\nsix cents. From the coast to Liverpool\nthe rate was 22 3-2 cents. Total from\nAlberta to Liverpool via West Robson\n38 1-2 cents. This would be much lowered by the completion of the Panama\ncanal. Even as It stood It showed an\nadvantage of 31 cents per hundred as\ncompared with the rate from Alberta\nvia St. John of 49 1-2 cents per 300\npounds.\nImport Rates.\nOf trtlll greater importance to this\ndistrict was the question of import\nfreight rates. Nelson was 500 miles\nnearer to Montreal than was Vancouver. Bat the average classified rate\nfrom Montreal to Vancouver was $1.77\naad a fraction while to Nelson it was\n$2.13 ana a fraction. In commodity\nrates the difference was greater.\nAmong other Instances the rate on bail\nand baggage was quoted. From Montreal to Vancouver U C L. the rate waa\n$1.79 and C. L. $2.72,\u2014nearly twice as\nmuch. Figures were also quoted to\nshow that Vancouver can get freight\nfrom Montreal and ship it back to\nNelson at a total rate of 17 cents less\nthan it can be brought direct to Nelson.\nVancouver's favorable rates were due\nto water competition and the opening\nof through navigation on the Columbia\nwould greatly reduce rates to Nelson.\nAt present the cost of getting goods\nto Nelson averaged 87 5-8 cents more\nthan to Vancouver. By water from\nPortland a fair estimate was but 38\ncents more per hundred pounds.\nCountry to be Benefitted.\nSuch reductions would be of great\nvalue ln the development of our natural resources. Our agricultural lands\nwere estimated by Mr. Mlddleton, assistant provincial horticulturist as including 580,000 acres suitable for fruit\ngrowing and 1)70,000 acres suitable for\nmixed farming. Only about one per\ncent. of> this was now developed. It\nwaB estimated that ten acres of fruit\nland or 40 acres of farming land with\nthis favorable soil and climate, were\nsufficient to maintain a family ot five\nin a good style of living, bo that the\nterritory would support an agricultural\npopulation of half a million.\nAgricultural land was only one of the\nresources of the district. There were\nfifty billion feet of timber which would\ntake an expenditure of fifty million dollars in wages ot prepare for the mar-\nket. The country was above all a\nmining one. It was impossible to give\nany estimate of the great mineral\nwealth of the country but mining men\nsat dthat It had barely been scratched.\nThe navigation of tbe Columbia\nwould go a long way to Bolve the problem of transportation. They asked\nthe government to Investigate lt and If\nthey found It feasible to take It up and\ncarry it through to a successful conclusion. *\nSenator Chamberlain.\nSenator Chamberlain of the delegation from Portland said they were\nnot there to advise Uie people of Nelson or to say what the benefit to the\nKootenay would be but to .state what\nhad been done and was being done on\nthe other side of the line and what\nbenefits had been obtained there from\nthe work already done. Formerly the\nwhole eastern part of the state was a\ngrazing country, rates were too high\nto make other forms of agriculture\npracticable. As a result of the reductions secured through opening up a portion of the river that territory was now\none of the richest portions of the\nstate.\nResults in Oregon.\nWhen the railway was first built\nparalleling the liver for much of its\ncourse the rates Imposed were prohibitive of the agricultural development of\nthe interior country. Forty miles above\n-\u25a0\"--*\"\u25a0- - \u25a0Ids navl-\nmoney to build a portage railway\naround tbe obstruction there and aB a\nresult there was an immediate lowering of rates for 200 miles up from the\nmouth of the river. On \u00ab.\\ the C. L.\nrate was lowered from $5.20 to $1.50\nand the L. O. L. rate from $7.40 to $3.\nOn other rates quoted by tbe speaker\nthere were even greater reductions.\nThese rates made lt possible to go\ninto general agriculture. The business\nwas not taken away from the railways\nbut the rates were reduced by the railways in order to hold the business.\nAt Dalles there had still remained\neight miles of non-navigable water.\nAbove that point rates bad continued\nprohibitive. The state undertook the\nconstruction of another portage railway\nand again this was followed by the immediate reduction of rates. Now the\nportage railway at the Cascades haa\nbeen replaced by a canal and tbe\nUnited States government is constructing a canal at the Dalles.\nWill Look After Their Side.\nThe national government, tbe governments of both Oregon and Washington, the city of Portland and other\nmunicipalities had contributed. Sums\naggregating ten million dollars had\nbeen appropriated. He believed that\nif the people of this country would\nundertake the work of making the\nriver navigable on this side of the\nboundary they could trust the people\nof the United States to do the rest of\nlt The people, of Oregon felt that the\nopening of the river to navigation\nwould benefit greatly the development\nof the territory along the river on both\nsldeB of the boundary, and that the development on each side of the line\nwould be mutually advantageous.\nWould Develop Interior.\nThe third speaker wns B. R. Atkins,\nrepresenting the Revelstoke board of\ntrade. Mr. Atkins pictured the upper\nColumbia, and Us strategic position\nwith reference to the northern area of\nsettlement, through 240 miles of which\nIt flowed. Above Revelstoke the great\nstream was navigable for a distance\nof 40 miles, while below, with but few\nand insignificant obstacles, it was navigable for most of Its course. At a comparatively low cost, he believed, the\nupper Columbia could he made navigable for commerce. The Canadian Columbia boasted but two cities, Rossland\nand Trail, whereas that rich diBtrict,\nunder adequate development, would Inevitably reach a large.population.\n' The Revelstoke district, he said,\nlooked at tbe question less -from the\npoint of view of reduction ln transportation charges, than from the point\nof view of development ot tbe territory\ntraversed, and tbe creation of a local\ncommerce. The river was both the\nenemy and the friend of Revelstoke.\nand but for the timely aid of tbe government presided over by Sir Wilfrid\nLaurier, the town on one occasion\nwould have been wiped out. But la*\nterritory. On the north it all but\ntouched the line of the G. T. P. railway, while the other railway lines in\nthe interior of the province all encountered it.. Traversing the interior\nfrom the north to-the south, it offered\na potential highway of commerce, connecting the northern part with the\nsouthern, and that in turn with the\nBoundary states. ''.*'.\nAt a period five years before Sir\nWilfrid Laurier entered the Dominion\nparliament, tne; Columbia river, within\nIts British Columbia boundaries, possessed a population almost equal to the\nsparBe population of the' present days.\nIn other words, the development of the\ngiant stream was in its Infancy, though\nit ranked in size as the twelfth river\nof the world.. When it should be rendered perfectly navigable, that development, now so much deBired, would\ncome about, ;\u25a0,\nMr. Atkins closed a Btrlking and\nforceful plea by picturing the time\nwhen the Columbia's waters shonld\nbear the commerce of a large and\nprosperous population, when the river\nshould be a bond of union between the\nvarious parts of the interior, nnd a link\nbetween the kindred nations on either\nside of the international boundary.\nDeath Rapids Line.\nHon. Mr. Graham stated to Mr.\nAtkinB that two years ago the Dominion,\ngovernment was asked to give a subsidy for a railway near Death rapids, a\nlittle distance above Revelstoke, and,\nthat the subsidy waB granted. But he\nunderstood thai the railway was not\ngoing ahead.\nMr. Atkins confirmed this, and stated that the provincial government waa\nputting through a wagon road ln the\nsame territory. The provincial government was being asked tosput on this\na tram line.\nPresent Navigability.\nCapt. Gray, one of the representatives\nof the state of Washington, the fourth\nand last spokesman, was Introduced as\na former resident of British Columbia,\nliving in this province1 before Confederation. Capt. Gray described J*1b early\ndays on the Columbia with his father,\nwhen this province was their place of\nresidence. For the last 50 years, however, he had been an American, and\nfor that whole period he had steam-\nboated on that same river. If the Columbia was the twelfth river of the\nworld, as the last speaker had said,\nCapt. Gray pointed out that it was the\nsecond, or at least the third, river of\nthis continent. ' For the greater part\nof its course south of the boundary\nline it was perfectly navigable at all\ntimes. With medium water, the Columbia was navigable continuously for\n1200 miles. He was continually plying as far up as Priest rapids, where, a\nreef appeared at low water. At high\nwater, the reef was no obstruction.\nFrom Astoria, Ore., to Death rapids,\nabove Revelstoke, the trip could now\nbe made with' portages only at the\nDalles, at Cecllo, and .at Kettle Falls,\nand he was now advocating a missionary excursion over that length of\nriver.\nAnother Rhine.\nIt had since early youth been his ambition to take a steamboat from Lake\nWindermere, the Bource of the Columbia, to the ocean, but that achievement he feared would not be recorded\nin hiB lifetime. Draining a vast basin\nand laying a rich territory under tribute, its only obstacles to navigation being of the kind that could easily be\novercome. Capt. Gray pictured the Columbia developed as is tbe Rhine, ministering to and sustaining a large and\nprosperous population. As an incidental result, besides creating a commerce of its own, its improvement\nwould regulate through freight ratea.\nLaurier's Reply.\nSir Wilfrid Laurler then spoke as\nfollows:\nMr. President and gentlemen: I am\nsorry that 1 have to confess by Ignorance as to tbe merits ef the scheme\nwhich you now lay before me and my.\ncolleagues here present. I knew very\nlittle of it until I was made acquainted with it some days ago at Revel-\nstoke. I may say in general terms that\nIt strongly appeals to me; not that I\nam aB enthusiastic as my young friend\nMr, FarriB, even if the Columbia river\nwere made navigable from Lake Windermere to the Pacific I am not quite\nconvinced yet that it would be a great\nregulator of traffic rates on our railways which run east and west, tf I am\nwrong In this, however, 1 shall be only\ntoo pleaBed to yield to Mr. FarriB' view.\nBut quite apart from that the scheme\nappeals to me very strongly from the\nfact that all aids to transportation between country and country help in the\ndevelopment of trade between country\nand country, resulting in better relations between people and people, and\nour relations with the people of Portland and tbe other cities on the other\nside of the line are becoming more and\nmore friendly every day. 1 hope, therefore, from the point of view of higher\ncivilization alone apart from other aspects there is sufficient to Induce the\ngovernment of Canada to look Into this\nproject with favor. I should bave been\ngratified if more information had been\nlaid before us,\u2014if ln addition to tbe\nvaluable information that has been\ngiven we could have been told more\nabout the points that bave to be Improved and Bomc idea given of the cost\nof the Improvements. However, perhaps it is premature to ask that I\nunderstand from tbe remarks of one\nof the speakers tbat In the United\nStates the river has been surveyed and\nan estimate made of the work necessary to Improve navigation from the\nboundary line to the mouth of the river.\nOn our side nothing has been done yet\nSome little works have been done here\nand there, scratching more than working I might say; but It will be my doty\nand pleasure to report to my colleague\nthe minister of public works the advisability of, at the earliest possible moment, having the river surveyed from\ntake Windermere to the boundary in\norder to see what work la required and\nto ascertain the approximate ooat (Applause.)\n\u25a0 'There are two wan of approaching\n- subject; one would ha tor\nthe United States will do their part on\ntheir side we do ours on our side.\nThere is another way which would appeal much more strongly to me if it\nwere possible, that is for the governments of the United States and Canada\nto have the work properly surveyed by\nengineers and approximate estimates of\ncost made and then to have a united\nplan of action adopted by both coun\ntries.' (Applause). At all events I have\nonly to express my sympathy; that la\nall I can do today, and also to express\nmy appreciation and assure you of mj\nconsideration of the valuable Information that has been given, and to say\nthat anything which will tend to the\ndevelopment of means of transportation\nbetween one country and another will\nalways receive the favorable consideration of the Canadian government.\nMr. Starkey Expresses Thanks.\nSimilar applause to that which greeted the premier on rising, followed the\nconclusion of bis reply.\nChairman Starkey briefly expressed\npleasure at the reply of the premier,\nwhich he Interpreted as favorable to\nthe great project which was the occasion of the audience, and thanked the\npremier on behalf of the joint delegation, aB well as for the portion of the\nprovince Interested.\nLiberal Resolutions.\nAfter the gathering In the court room\ndispersed, the premier retired to the\njudge's chambers, and gave a private\naudience to a delegation from the Koot-\nenay-Boundary British Columbia Liberal association.

Although I have spent the past 30 years\n-In political strife I claim that I have\nthe eye of the artist for natural beauty;\nI and my friends have seen wonder after\nwonder in scenre effects and landscape\ndelights since we came here.\nAnd To Quebec\n\"This morning a young friend of mine\nwho has come with me from Quebec\nlooked around and said: 'This Is very\nlike Quebec* and I agree with htm. And\nI have represented Quebec for thirty\nyears ln the house of commons, so gentlemen, you will not wonder that I have\na warm -place In my heart for that delightful old city. I may say now tbat\n\u25a0because of this similarity I have a warm\nplace In my heart for Nelson.\n\"There are other reasons why I have\na special place In my heart for Nelson\nIbut t will reserve them for tbe meeting\ntonight, because Mr, Burrell and I do\nnot, as he says, see eye to eye on some\nsubjects.\nHat Eye on Mr. Burrell\n\"He haa had his eye on me,\" con\ntinued Sir Wilfrid, \"and I have had\nmine on him for the past two years. He\nsits on one side ot the speaker and I\non the other. I need not say which is\nthe right side but I think that it is his\nmisfortune and not his fault that we\nagree to differ in matters political.\nWould you believe it? He says that I\nam on the wrong elde. What greater\nerror could he make? But I hope that\nhe will see the error of his ways soon.\nI should not wonder then if he did not\nsit on the right aide of the speaker\nInstead of the left as at present.\nThe premier 'continued: \"It speaks\nwell for the political condition of the\ncountry that men sitting In opposition\nin the house can meet together as'\nfriends and treat each other with respect as is done in Great Britain. I am\nproud that I can say this of Canada.\n\"I have only one aim and object in\nlite and that fs the well being of our\ncommon country, Canada.\"\nSir Wilfrid's, speech was several\ntimes Interrupted by cheers from the\ncrowd and by laughter at the pleasant\ntouches of humor.\nBouquet Presented\nAt the concluson of the address Miss\nD. H. Proudfoot presented tbe premier\nwith a bouquet of wild flowers which\nSir Wilfrid courteously acknowledged\nwith a kiss and a smile of thanks.\nPresents.Medal to Grace Patrick\n-Dr. E. C. Arthur, chairman of the\nschool board then introduced Miss\nGrace Patrclk, and asked Sir Wilfrid to\n.present her with the lieutenant governor's imedal which she has recently won\nln competition against all the high\nschool scholars In the province in the\nhigh school entrance examinations. As\nhe was pinning the medal on Miss Patrick's dress Str Wilfrid asked: \"It this\na nelce of Mr. Joseph Patrick,\" and on\nbeing Informed that Miss Patrick was\na daughter of F. ,T. Patrick said: \"I\nknew your grandfather, James Patrick,\nvery well. He was one of my best aud\ntruest friends in Quebec.\"\nChildren Sing\n. The children of the public schools,\n.some three hundred in number, then\nsang\"0 Canada\" with cornet accompaniment by F. Irwin. The boy scouts, look-\n. Ing very military In their uniforms then\npresented arms, Sir Wilfrid acknowledged the tribute and returned to the city\nwharf in Mr. DeVeber's boat, which was\nescorted by a parade of boats, canoes\nand launches.\nAttends Mass,\nOn Sunday morning Sir Wilfrid\nLaurier attended high mass at 10:30\no'clock tn the church of Mary Immaculate. The Bervice was preached by Rev.\nFather Althoff, of Nelson, and Rev.\nFather Condeyre of Gonzelas college,\nSpokane. A special musical service\nwas given In' honor of the distinguished visitor. The church was filled to\noverflowing and after the service Sir\nWilfrid was introduced to a large number of the congregation In the parish\nhall adjoining the church and made a\nbrief speech, extending thanks for the\nreception that had been accorded him\non his arrival the previous night. Str\nWilfrid waB accompanied to the church\nby W. P. Tlerney.\nUNITED STATE8 WILL\nDEPORT MANY HINDUS\nWASHINGTON, D.

W. P. Gray Talks of Life In British Columbia In 1858\u2014-Amusing\nAnecdote. J\nAmong the delegates from the Portland chamber of commerce who attended the Columbia river conference yesterday was Capt. W. P. Gray, of Pasco,\nWash,, who navigated river steamers in\nBritish Columbia as long ago as 1868.\nCapt. Gray ts probably one of the few\nmen living who remember BrltiBh Columbia in the days when it was to all\nintents and purposes a Hudson bay\nprincipality. The cbiet Industry was\nfur trading, though a year or bo before\nCapt. Gray first reached Victoria from\nAstoria, Ore., something in the nature\nof a mining rush had taken place. There\nhad been discoveries of rich placer gold\nnear Fort Hope and later in the Slmll-\nkameen and the famous California gold\nrush of 1849 having subsided, a great\nnumber of prospectors bad made their\nway north, into Oregon, Washington,\nIdaho and British Columbia.\nEarly Western Days.\nThere was, of course, no transcontinental railway at that time either in\nCanada or the States and to reach British Columbia the pioneer had to either\nmake the long voyage around Cape\nHorn, travel through the western states\nover the famous Oregon trail, on which\nso many lives were lost, or cross the\nsaline wastes of the Salt lake and California deserts.\nCapt. Gray's parents were two ot the\nearliest settlers in Oregon, having\ncrossed the continent from the southern states ln search of the wealth tbat\nhas made so many men and women\ntake Horace Greeley's advice to \"Go\nWest.\" In common, however, with the\nmajority of the pioneers of Oregon,\nCapt, Gray's parents left the comparatively civilized homeland in the south\nseeking, not gold, but fertile farming\nland. They settled at a point near\nwhere the skyscrapers of the city of\nPortland now lift themselves upwards\nand for some years engaged in farming. Soon accumulating a considerable\namount ot wealth Mr. Gray senior and\nhis family moved out to Astoria, at\nthe mouth of the Columbia river where\nthe first post office in the United States\nwest of the Rockies was built in 1857.\nHere 'Mr. Gray engaged in the shipbuilding business.\nQo to Fort Hope.\nIn 1858, attracted by stories of the\nnew gold diggings in British Columbia\nand moved by that same adventurous\nspirit that had induced him to make\nthe arduous trip across the continent to\nthe shores of the Pacific ocean, he, together with his son, W. P. Gray and his\nwife and daughters, crossed Puget\nSound and landed at Victoria.\nFur Trading,\nGoing from the capital to Fort Hope\nthe Gray family located on the Fraser\nand there spent the winter building\nbateaux for the Hudson bay traders.\nThe following spring they built a\nnumber of schooners and the summer\nof 1859 Mr. Gray and his son made\nregular runs between Fort Langley and\nFort Yale, the latter place being now\nthe city of Yale. They carried furs collected by the Hudson bay men and\nprovisions and other merchandise for\nthe use ot the miners who were then\npanning gold in considerable quantity\nin the creeks of that district.\nSlmllkameen Is Discovered,\nIn the summer of the following year\nthe Slmllkameen camp was discovered\nand Mr. Gray, senior, attacked by tbe\ngold fever took his son, W. P. Gray to\nthe south forks of the Slmllkameen.\n\"He left me,\" said Capt. Gray yesterday, \"rocking out gold and went to\nRock creek, near Midway. He was successful in his search for richer sand\nand so went back to Fort Hope and\nbrought my mother and sisters to the\nBouth fork of the Slmllkameen river\nwhere we camped for some time, getting a fair amount of gold for our\nlabors.\"\nThe Dewdeney Trail.\n\"On our first trip into the Slmllkameen country, we travelled by the old\nHudson' bay trail over which the fur\ntraders' brigade, which collected across\nthe line at Colvllle, UBed to travel to\nFort Hope and there sell their furs to\nthe captain of the 'fort. This trail had\nbeen made by the Indians, and, according to custom, was over the highest\npeaks of the mountains and very un-\nsuited to easy travelling. In the fail\nof I860, however, Governor Dewdeney\nof the province, located what waB\nknown as the Dewdeney trail from Hope\nto the Slmllkameen. This was a much\neasier route and is now being used by\nthe Great Northern railway as a pass\nthrough the Hope mountains for their\nnew line.\nBoundary Line Located.\n\"At this time the boundary line between United States and British possessions waa being located. There was,\nhowever, no trouble between the citizens of the two countries. The major\nportion of the population of British\nColumbia at that time was American\nand none worried very much whether\nthe boundary line was along this parallel or that.\n\"That same winter father and I whip-\nsawed lumber, made pegs and built a\nboat 90 feet long and with a 12 foot\nbeam. We obtained wild flags from\nthe bed of the river and from them\nmade oakum and we made our pitch\nfrom the gt-^-'Of the pine trees along\nthe banks of the river. Our methods\nwere primitive but we put together a\nremarkably serviceable boat.\nTravels Down Columbia.\n\"The next spring, the results from\nour gold panning having been somewhat slender, we went down the Okanagan river to the Columbia. We ran\ndown the Columbia as far as Sllllo\nFalls, where the United States government Ib now building a canal and locks\nto overcome the obstruction to navigation caused by the rapids at The Dalles\nand Sllllo.\nUp Stikeen River.\n\"I ran boats during the years following bn various parts of the Columbia\nand In 1877 again entered British territory. This time I took a boat from\nVictoria and ran her up to the head of\nthe Stikeen river and spent the whole\nseason in that district.\n\"From 1898 to 1809 I was again On the\nStikeen. This was at the time of tbe\nYukon gold fever and the route lo\nDawson City was up the Stikeen river\nny boat and north by the trail along\nwhich runs the present telegraph wire.\nThe route to Dawson now, of course,\nis-by way of Skagway and the White\nHorse pass.\n\"Later I operated In the same country, going up as far as St. Michael and\nthe White Horse rapids.\"\nTells Amusing Anecdote.\nCapt. Gray tells an amusing anecdote concerning Gov. Moody and a San\nFrancisco tough named Ned McGowan.\nMcGowan had at one time been a statu\nsenator in California but had become a\nlittle too wild even for San Francisco\nIn the early fifties and had been advised by tho vigilance committee for\nthe good of the city and for the safely\not his own skin to \"hike\" from the\nGolden Gate city.- (McGowan ; worked\nhis waj- north and in the winter ot 1858\nwaB located at a miner's camp at a\nplace called Hill's bar, three miles\nbelow Fort Yale, which was at that\ntime producing a considerable amount\nof gold. McGowan's old political Instinct soon reasserted itself and he\nbecame the leader of a gang composed\nof the toughest element ot the camp.\nThis crowd soon came Into collision\nwith the better element among the miners. A shooting match ensued and\nfive or six people received .44 bullets\nIn various parts of their anatomies.\nTwo died.\nWhen the police officials attempted\nto arrest McGowan and some of his\nassociates they barricated themselves\nIn a tog cabin and told the police to\nhead for warmer climate. The police\nforce was not large and, thinking discretion the better part of valor,\nBent a messenger to Victoria asking for\na body ot troops to quell the \"rebellion,\" as they described it. In the\nmeantime McGowan and his hoodlum\nassociates had the time of their lives\nand generally scared the life out of the\nmore peaceable members of the camp.\nGovernor Moody arrived In due\ncourse with a body of marines, about\na hundred In number.\nNed Shows Political Bent.\nIt was at this point tbat Ned McGowan exhibited his political genius.\nDiscarding his gun and cartridge belt\nand the other paraphernalia of tbe\nmining camp \"bad man\" he was the\nfirst to step aboard the boat on which\nthe governor and the naval contingent\nhad arrived. With his face wreathed\nln smile sand with extended hand welcomed the official, treating the whole\nmatter as a vast joke. The governor\nwas endowed with a somewhat unofficial sense of humor and a few minutes\nlater was sitting down to a meal with\nthe erstwhile leader of the rebellion.\nThe matter ended there though lt Is\nwhispered that both the governor and\nNed found the Hudson bay whiskey\nsomewhat exhilarating and that before\nbeing carried to roomB in the lone hotel\nof which the place boasted were seen\nwith their arms around each other's\nnecks, no doubt giving each other\npointers on matters political.\nIf your liver is siugglah and out of tone,\nand you feel dull, bilious, constipated, take\na dose ot Chamberlain's Btomach and\nLiver Tablets tonight before retiring and\nyou will feel all right In the morning.\nSold by all druggists and dealers.\nt\nYou can trust your eyes to tell\nyou only one important fact\nabout a metal bedstead.\nEither the \"Ideal\" Guarantee is\non the foot rail, or it is not.\nWhen it is, you can be sure you\nget full value.\nFor that Guarantee goes on the\n\"Ideal\" Meta) Bedstead only\nafter forty inspections\nhave made it safe\nfor us to put\nit there.\nI\n\"Ideal\"\n'Metal Beds,\nyou see, are of\nonly one quality\n\u2014the best we know\nhow to produce.\nThat applies, whether tbe\n\"Ideal\" Metal Bed you buy\ncosts but \u00a34 or ten times that.\nFrom cheapest to costliest, there\nis only one quality in our line\u2014and\nwe guarantee every bed in that line.\nRead \"The Philosophy of Sleep\"-\u2014\nr.T* inteiesting little book we will\nsend you flee \u2014 and you will get a,\nnew light on this metal bed question.\nAsk for Booklet No. 142 2w*\n\u2022IDEAL BEDDING OS-\u2014\n5 DAYS to the\nCH1TINA COPPER REGION.\nFrom SEATTLE to thla Remarkable New\nCountry Is Now an Easy and Quick Journey by\nALASKA STEAMSHIP COMPANY'S Boati\nto Cordova, thence over the COPPER RIVER\n& NORTHWESTERN RY.\nA VIRGIN HELD FOR PROSPECTORS\nIs at last available, It Is the opportunity of\na generation.

Those who are not\nof his party have in this followed the\nbest traditions of political life. The\nspeech of Mr. Martin Burrell was an\nexcellent illustration of sportsmanlike\namenity toward a political opponent\nappearing in a non-partisan capacity, or\nSir Wilfrid himself, when speaking in\nthe civic functions it imay be said that\n\"bin remarks were also appropriate to the\n- non-partisan nature of these occasions.\nThe city in general may be congratulated upon the spirit displayed and upon\nthe tasteful nature of the decorations\ncontributed by the civic authorities aud\nby private citizens.\nANNEXATION OF KOREA\nThe formal incorporation of Korea\nInto Japanese territory has ibeen expected- for some time and will occasion no\nsurprise. In reality that country has\nbeen ruled by Japan for some time. But\nadministration has been complicated by\nthe nominal sovereignty of the Korean\nemperor. The introduction of direct\nrule of Korea by aJpan will simplify\nmatters in various, respects.\nAs Korea is Immediately adjacent to\nthe Japanese Us annexation resembles\nless the acquisition ot a subject territory than an extension of the boundaries\nof Japan. It may come to be peopled\nlargely iby a Japanese population. Room\nlor the expansion of such a population\nIs one of the needs for Japan. Thatshe\nshould be able lo find it near at home\nia not a matter for regret.\nEDITORIAL NOTE\nEditorial comment has been largely\nomitted from today's issue In order to\nprovide a greater amount'of space for\nthe report of yesterday's proceedings\nIn connection with the,visit of Sir Wilfrid Laurler.\nCROWDED RINK\nHEARS LAURIER\n(Continued from Pas* One.)\n\u25a0way to make a contract -ind to bring in\nOrientals Is the Canadian Pacific.\n\"That there is no orientals on the\nO.T.P.

THOMSON KEtta\nBookseller and .Stationer\ncriticisms right and left and he wished\nto examine some of these. There was\n\u25a0the charge of Liberal Inconsistency in\nregard to the tariff. Yet the Liberals\nafter coming into power, reduced the\nduty on 150 articles and placed 50 articles on the free list. The Conservative shibboleth, on the other hand, was\n\"place us in .power and up will go the\ntariff and you will be taxed more than\never before.\"\nSpend More\nIt was true the Liberal government\nwas spending more in one year now\nthan the Conservatives ever spent in\none year prior to 1896, but there was a\nreason for the difference. The Grand\nTrunk pacific was a case In point. First\nthe Conservatives opposed the building\nof this transcontinental railway. They\ncharged that it would not be built.\nThen they admitted that it was being\n\"built, but said it was costing more than\npromised. Was any man in Canada desirous of not having the transcontinental railway, even If it was costing more\nthan1 promised.\nIt was the Liberal party that said\ntrade should not go north and south,\nbut east and west.\nYear after year, under Conservative\nrule the finance -minister (brought down\nhis budget showing a deficit. The Liberals came in and Hon. Mr. Fielding,\nas finance minister changed that order\nof deficits to the order of surpluses.\nPredicts One More Victory\nWhere was the Conservative policy?\nasked the sneaker. The Conservative\npolicy was solely one of criticism, without a single constructive plank. Three\ntimes since the Conservatives went out\nof office, they had made their appeal\nto the people of Canada and had been\nrejected. Four times had Sir Wilfrid\nLaurler led a united party to victory.\nOnce again, when the next test came,\nhe would, without doubt lead a still\nmore united and powerful party to victory, to the fifth victory, and in that\nvictory the province of British Columbia would be represented. (Applause.)\n\"Before I close I want to say that\nSir Wilfrid has done more to cement\nthe people of Canada, done more to develop this country than anyone else\nwho has at any time been in possession\nof the reins of government in Canada.\nThe policy of Sir Wilfrid and of the\nLiberal government during the ten\nyears that I have been at Ottawa has\nhad as its aim, legislation which shall\nbe of the greatest benefit to all the\npeople of Canada, every interest has\nbeen considered, every section remembered.

I believe\nthat the people of the west realize this\nmore clearly today than ever before\nand I rely on their loyalty to Sir Wilfrid to send more Liberal representatives from British Columbia to Ottawa\nat the next election.\"\nM. A. Macdonald.\nM. A. Macdonald introduced himself\nto the meeting by stating that at the\nLiberal convention held ln Nelson a\nfew days ago a new district association\nhad been formed and that as chairman\nof a Liberal association in one of the\nten ridings included in the new organization be was speaking as a representative of Liberals ln the Kootenays and\nBoundary.\n\"I want to convey to our great chieftain,\" Bald Mr. Macdonald, \"the information that we are determined when\nthe next political affray takes place, the\nranks of Liberals in southeastern British Columbia will be closed and ready\nfor the fight. We Bhall not be ln the\ndisorganized state in which the last\nelection found us.\n\"The numerical strength of the Liberal representatives from British Columbia at Ottawa and Victoria was not\ngreat but it would be a mistake for us,\nor for our opponents, to Imagine that\nthere is not a saving strength of Liberals in the province. We have allowed our political fences to go into bad\nrepair but I say tonight that I shall not\nhave to make this confession again.\n\"At the last provincial election, aside\nfrom our lack of organization, we were\nburdened by a voters' list that to say\nthe least of it was in favor of the party\nin power., We were also handicapped\nby the provincial elections act which\nallowed a tremendous amount of repeating and impersonation. One man at\nGreenwood voted seven times and\nthere were similar cases, as you know,\nat Fernie. At other places voters rose\nfrom the dead to vote for Premier McBride and his colleagues.\nPredicts McBride's Fall.\n\"I say, also, that the power of the\nConservative government and the people's funds have been used In British\nColumbia for party purposes. Every\ncent distributed by the government's\nagents is for the benefit of McBride\nand Bowser who form the hyphenated\ngovernment at Victoria. Every trail\nbuilt by the provincial government ls\nbuilt for political purposes. Tbe government of British Columbia in spite of\nits apparent strength is not so solid,\nas to be likely to secure a long lease\nof power.\n\"The note 1 strike tonight is one of\noptimism for Liberals in .British Columbia, But we were here to discuBB\nthe broader questions of the welfare\nof the Dominion rather than local matters. The presence of Sir Wilfrid tonight will lead us to reflect that local\nIssues must be subordinated to the\ngeneral good of the province and Canada as a whole. We must think not\nonly of British Columbia but ot the\nEmpire.\n\"1 Invite tbe electors and the newcomers to the province to take a retrospective view of the laBt 15 years.\nMany projects have been launched by\nthe Dominion government. Tbe broad-\nminded Immigration policy has built up\na new west; compare the prosperity of\ntoday with the stagnation of 1896. On\none hand is a policy ot development\nand on the other hand no policy at all.\nYou will remember that a few weeks\nago the Conservatives decided to call\na convention to decide upon a party\nplatform. All arrangements were made\nand the call was then withdrawn, presumably because the party leaders did\nnot dare to meet their followers.\n\"We have heard much from Ottawa\nabout the naval policy. There have\nbeen cries of \"panic\" and \"emergency\"\nfrom the Conservatives. The only\nemergency is ln the ranks ot the Con*\nservatlves. In Quebec F. W. Monk ts\nleaving the party voluntarily; In Ontario Oeorge Eulas Foster Is leaving\nthe party.Involuntarily. It is no won\nder that Mr. R. L. Borden's mind Ib in\na state ot panic.\n\"I think that the Conservatives\nshould not control this province until\nthey have a better policy than tbat of\nthe Laurier government.\"\nAfter referring to the Inspiration he\nfelt at the presence of Hir Wilfrid Laurier Mr. Macdonald said that it was not\nnecessary to indulge in fulsome expressions ot eulogy of his chief but that\nthe premier had led the party to victory\nfour times and would do bo again. Mr,\nMacdonald sat down amid considerable\napplause.\nPremier's Reception\nThe chief event of the evening was\nnow reached, the address of the premier.\nOn rising to speak Sir Wilfrid was\ngiven a splendid reception, the audience rlBlng to its feet.\nDuring the uproar little Miss\nCarrie timidly presented Sir Wilfrid\nwit ha bouquet, which he accepted, gallantly saluting the giver. This incident\nof course did not diminish tile applause.\nThe premier spoke as follows:\n\"Ladies and Gentlemen\u2014I am now\nalong with the friends who have accompanied me hitherto on the eighth and\nlost week of a tour which has taken\nus over the four western provinces of\nthe Dominion. As has been stated by\nmy friend Mr. Ralph Smith and Mr.\nTempleman, we have 'been received\neverywhere not only with cordiality .but\nI might say without any false modesty\nwith great enthusiasm. Every day has\nbeen pleasant, the last day pleasanter\nthan the day (before, indeed -n those\neight weeks there lias been only one\nday which for my part I shall not recollect with pleasure; that was last Saturday when we were coming down the\nArrow lakes. I hnd heard a great deal\nof the beauty of those lakes but unfortunately the fire which has been raging\non the other side had so obscured the\natmosphere tbat there was nothing to\nbe seen. Happily, today the sun has\ncome back and it has been possible\nfor myself and friends to see the beautiful -mountains which surround this\ncity. I have a partiality for mountains\n.because I come from a province ln\nwhich there are some, although not at\nall to be compared with your own.\nWhen British Columbia was first Introduced into Confederation there may be\nsome In this audience who remember,\nthat Borne one in the east in on unlucky\nmoment stated that British Columbia\nwas a \"sea pf mountains.\" The expression I am sure was not meant in any\noffensive way, but at all events it carried with it some offensive suggestion.\nI wish for my part If there is any one\nln the east who thinks that British Columbia is a \"sea of mountains\" that it\nwere possible for him to visit it as I\nhave done and see what wealth there is\nto be found in those mountains, and I\ncould well wish for the sake of the agriculture of the eastern provinces and of\nthe prairie provinces especially that\nthey could have some of those mountains In their territory.\nIt would be of great assistance to\ntheir agriculture because I.have seen\nmany and many a time even this summer, the farmer craning his neck and\nanxiously scanning the horizon in order\nto find if possible the speck of cloud\nwhich onnounces the coming of rain.\nBut here In British Columbia you are\nnot troubled with such anxiety. The\nmountains covered with snow and ice\nfurnish streams -which flow down and\nrelieve you from such thoughts and if\nthe skies are hard and refuse to deliver their water treasure you tap the\nstream and secure the water for your\ncrops. Happy British Columbia; I wish\nwe had something ot tbat kind In the\neast.\nThe Oriental Question\n\"But why I was particularly anxious\nto come to this city of Nelson was In\norder, If possible to dear up a question\nas to which 1 wiil not say tbat I have a\ngrudge against tho city of Nelson and\nthis lower portion of the province but\nas to which I think there has been misconception of the policy of the government. I would lihe to discuss and\nclear up, if possible, this oriental question to which my friend Mr. Ralph\nSmith has spoken.\n\"In 1896 It waa the good fortune of\nthe Liberal party to carry this Kootenay district and in fact the whole southern part of British Columbia. The same\nfortune in 1900. again in 1904, but in\n1908, if I may say bo without offence,\nin a moment of weakness, British Columbia, the southern part went back on\nits former record. I have no hesitation\nIn saying that this was caused by misrepresentations made perhaps on this\nplatform and certainly throughout the\nlength and breadth of the province with\nregard to the policy of the Liberal government on this question of Oriental\nimanlgration. You were told that If\nyou wanted to bave a \"white\" British\nColumbia you should not elect a representative to support the Laurler government. You were told that if it was\nthe misfortune of the people of Canada\nthat this same government should be\nreturned again to office you could say\ngood bye'to \"white\" British Columbia,\nthat the Grand Trunk Pacific would he\ntoullt with Asiatic labor and the province over-run with Astatic hordes. Now\nI repeat It to you, is It not true that\nthese statements -were made all over\nBritish: Colombia? I am not -surprised\nthat those statements were made. 1\nam familiar with those tactics, but may\nI Bay -that I am surprised that such misrepresentation should have found credence among any Intelligent people. I\ndo not say that, sir, by way of reproach\nbut I nave a right To say lt ln view ot\nwhat ha\u00ab followed since. Time has\nbrotitSit its revenge. Why, \u00abir, what is\nthe fact today? Two years have elapsed\nsince you heard these appeals and, sir,\ntoday the Grand Tmnk Pacific railway\nis being constructed. Has there been\u2014\nI ask the question and I pause Cor an\nanswer\u2014has there been a single Asia-\ntie brought in to work on the Grand\nTrunk pacific Railway? Not one. Has\nthere been any Asiatic hordes to overrun this province? Sir, there- never moa\na time In the history of British Columbia when there have been so few Asiatic! aa fhx-e the last election. Why do\nI recall these tactics? I think, sir, the\nreason ll obvious, It ls this; The father\nof Uea H not dead\u2014the father ol Ilea\nPoor\nDigestion?\nThis is one of the first signs of stomach weakness.

You will hear them\nagain and therefore I will caution you\nagainst such false misrepresentations\nbeing made again as they were made\nbefore. May I be permitted here and\nnow, since this question has such a hold\non the people of British Columbia, to\ndiscuss It before you and to appeal to\nthe record of what has been and what\nls the policy of the Liberal party which\nis now in power at Ottawa, Sir, I believe, and I never disguise any thoughts\nas to this, I believe that Asiatic immigration into a province like British Col-\numba or any other part of Canada\ncannot be allowed to go on unchecked,\nthat it must be restricted, but I differ\nfrom the Conservative party as to the\nmethods of restricting it. The policy\nsuggested by the Conservative party\nhas been the harsh method of hostile\nlegislation; tbe policy we have followed on the contrary haB been that of mutual agreement with those oriental nations which are now arising from tbe\nlong lethargy of ages and whose friendship may be useful and has already as\nfar as one of them Ib concerned, heen\nuseful to tbe motherland, England.\nWhen we took office In 1896 there was\nan almost solid representation from the\nLiberal -party in British Columbia. I\nwas approached by my friends at that\ntime in regard to the exclusion of Chinese which at that time was the trouble.\nAt tbat time there was a capitation tax\nof $100 and -we were asked to increase\nthis to |500 and we were also asked to\napply the same legislation to Japanese\nimmigration. As far as Chinese immigration Is concerned I had no difficulty at all, speaking on behalf of the\ngovernment, in saying to our friends\nfrom British Columbia that we would at\nonce raise the capitation tax to $500.\nAt that time we had no Chinese consul\nat Ottawa, and bad no relations with\nthem, diplomatic, semi-diplomatic or\ncommercial. No protest came from\nChina against the legislation and we\nhad no hesitation ln passing it. As far\nas Japanese immigration was concerned\nwe had a Japanese consul at Ottawa\nand I stated that there was then nego-\ntation going on for a treaty of alliance\noffensive and defensive between Japan\nand Great Britain and that such proce-\ncedure would not be politic. I agreed,\nhowever, that Japanese immigration\nshould be restricted and at the same\ntime I said to the delegates from British Columbia that we would not pass\nlegislation of that kind against the Japanese. I had several conferences with\nthe Japanese consul and I stated that I\nexpected from him that his own government would themselves restrict the immigration of Japanese to British Columbia. I represented, to him tbat the civilization of Japan was so different from\nour own, that their working classes, had\nbeen accustomed to such a mode of living in their food, garments, lodging,\netc., that they could supply their wants\nfor a mere fraction of tbe wages necessary for a white working man to live\nrespectably upon In this country and\nthat If under such conditions the Jap-\n(Contlnued un Page Five.)\nI bought a horse with a supposedly Incurable ringbone for 130.

Well, sir, I am glad\nto say that these representations were\nreceived with favor. We had an agree*\nment at that time whereby the Japanese authorities undertook to restrict\nJapanese Immigration Into Canada and\nit was restricted, In 1901-2-3-4-5-6. But\nail of a eudden in 1907, there was an\nInflux of Japanese Immigrants. I do\nnot accuse the Japanese government of\nhaving broken faith. It was misconception of a treaty we passed, a commercial treaty in which there waa no\nrestrictive condition, but In.regard to\n-which some thought that Japan waa\noverriding our agreement. But the moment this took -place I sent my colleague, Mr. Lemieux, to Japan, to represent to the Japanese authorities that\nwe expected them to observe the agree*\nment made, between our governments\nand I ani Wound tp say that our representations were received with favor\nand with the assistance of the British\nambassador we renewed the understanding whereby the Japanese immigration\nwas to be reetrlcted, not toy any act of\nours, which would be offensive, but by\nthe Japanese government themselves.\nTbat was in 1907 and from that date to\nthis that agreement has been carried\nout .with absolute honesty and good\nfaith hy the Japanese authorities. (Applause.)\nInflux of Hindus.\nNow It so happened tbat at the same\ntime in 1907 there was another influx\nof Asiatic immigrants, not from Japan,\nnot from China, but from India. There\nwas an influx of Hindus to this country, men of Asiatic race, men against\nwhom all the. economic reasons which\nmilitate against Immigration from Japan and China would equally apply, but\nthere was something new at that time.\nThese men were \"British subjects and\nthough their color was not the same\nas ours, though they were of a different race from ours, they were fellow\nsubjects with us of his majesty the\nKing of England. Some of them had\nworn the uniform of his majesty and\nfought under the British colors against\nthe enemieB of England. What were\nwe to do? Were we to allow them to\ncome unchecked ln contact with our\nown working men? That could not be.\nIf we were to follow the suggestions\nof the Conservative party we were to\nhave an act of parliament to send them\naway from Canada, but waB lt to be\nsaid tbat in a British country under a\nBritish king an act should be passed\nforbidding British subjects to come into\nthe country? Sir, whatever may have\nbeen the opinion of the Conservative\nparty, such was not the opinion of the\nLiberal party. I did otherwise. I sent\none of my own colleagues, the ypung-\nest member of the government, Mr. W.\nL. Mackenzie King, a man whom I am\nglad to say Is as popular here as wherever be ls known, to India on a diplomatic mission. His mission was con*\nfidentlal but I may say this, and you\nknow it, that since that date not a\nHindu has come from India to Canada,\n(Applause). I ask you now, sir, which\nis the better method? That of hostile\nlegislation, which haB been proposed\nagain and again in this province by the\nConservative party, or the policy of\nconciliation, of mutual agreement,\nwhich has been followed by the present\ngovernment. To compare the merits of\nthe two policies, we have an aot whereby no Chinamen can come into this\ncountry unless he pays a capitation tax\nof \u00a5500, and last year 1400 came ln and\npaid that tax. We have an agreement\nwith Japan whereby none can come in\nbeyond the number ot 400 in every\nyear. Which of the two acts is the\nmore reasonable and the more productive of the good results for which we\nall hope?\nConciliate Japan.\nBut you will ask me why should we\nbe more conciliatory to Japan than to\nChina? Sir, for this reason, I do not\nknow what the Chinese government\nmay do ln the future, but I know what\nthe Japanese government has done in\nthe past. Japan is no longer a barbarian nation. Japan has entered iuto\nthe category, of civilized nations. IJ,\nhas now awakened and If in the arts\nof peace it has not yet fully attained\nthe standard of European nations, in\nthe art of war it was able to cope with\none of the most powerful nations of\nEurope and to cope successfully. Has\nthat any significance for us? You know\nthat the interests of England in the\nPacific ocean are paramount, you know\nthat tn India, Australia, New Zealand,\nin different parts of the Pacific ocean,\nshe has interests which call for the exercise of all her energy and watchfulness. It is to the credit of old England\nthat she was the first of the nations of\nEurope to realize the awakening which\nhas taken place in Japan and in 1902\nLord Lansdowne, at that time secretary\nof state for foreign affairs, thought it\nbest to enter into a treaty of alliance,\noffensive and defensive between Great\nBritain and Japan, whereby England\nhas gained an enormous amount of\nprestige and power. All students of\nthe recent history of Great Britain,\nthose who have followed her history\nsince the accession of Queen Victoria,\nknow that there has been a thorn in\nthe side of England in the power of\nRuBsia on the frontier of India. Everyone knows that whether it was Lord\nDerby or Gladstone or Disraeli, every\nman who had anything to do with questions of eastern relations in Great\nBritain never went to bed at night but\nwith the thought that perhaps ln the\nmorning he would know that a Russian\narmy was being mobilised on the frontier of India. But from the day of the\ntreaty between England and Japan,\nfrom the day especially that Field Marshal Oyama drove the Russian army\nfrom Port Arthur, from the time Togo\nsent the Russian fleet into the waters\nof the Sea of Japan, from tbat date the\nfrontier of India has been absolutely\nsecure from Russian aggression. Sir,\ndoes not this condition of things appeal\nto the Conservatives who may be present here Is there any Conservative\npresent here, I Bee that there are a\nfew, not many, (Now you will ask me\nhow do I know that there are a few.\nI am a pretty old bird In these matters\nand I can see by looking into a man's\neye whether he Is a grit or tory, and\nlooking at this audience I can see a few\nof the Conservative persuasion.) I ask\nthem does not this condition of things\nappeal to them. Under these circumstances, when it is possible that if\nthere was a war between England and\nsome foreign nation the Japanese and\nBritish fleets might fight side by side,\nIs It not better that we should treat\nthis new nation with consldertaion and\nrespect rather than try to trample on\ntheir pride and self esteem. (Applause).\nNow sir, that Is the position we have\ntaken, and ln the face of the result, I\nthink I may claim that at the next\nelection if there should he a man who\ncomes before you and tells you that\nyou are threatened with being overrun\nwith Asiatic Immigration you will know\nwhat answer to give him. Therefore, I\nhope I shall be pardoned tf I say that\nin my humble opinion the people of\nsouthern British Columbia did not consult their best Interests when they sent\nmy friend Mr. Goodeve to parliament\nlast session. I bave nothing to say\nagainst Mr. Goodeve. He ls a respectable gentleman, he li a friend of mine,\n\u2014the 'power to enjoy to Ihe full life's\nwork and pleasure\u2014comes only with a\ngood digestion.\nVigorous Health\nlone up weak stomachs\u2014supply the digestive Juices which are lacking\u2014ensure\nyour food being properly converted Into brawn and sinew, red blood and active\nbrain, 80c a box at your druggist's or from 32\nNational Drug md Chemical Co. of Canada. Limited,\nMontreal.\nbut be haB one capital fault which\nshould be a bar to the confidence of the\npeople of Kootenay. He is a Tory.\nThat is all the reproach I have to make,\nbut it is a very seriouB reproach. May\nI be pardoned if I go one step farther\nand say that in other respects the people of this section of British Columbia\ndid not consult their best interests.\nWhy how old is this city? Ten, fifteen\nyears at most. This town owes its existence largely and* Its prosperity certainly to the policy of the government,\nwhich by the grace of God and the will\nof the Canadian people has been at the\nhead of affairs for the last fourteen\nyears at Ottawa. How so? Well sir,\nthree things have characterized the\npolicy of thiB government. Transportation, immigration and their fiscal\npolicy. In all these things I claim\nthat the policy of the government haB\nlargely contributed, not only to the existence but still fore to the prosperity\nof this city and all the cities of the\nKootenay valley. In 1897, as Boon as\nwe had come into office, we undertook\nto complete the Crow's Nest railway.\nNow I ask you fellow countrymen, I\nask you citizens of Nelson, what would\nNelson be today but for the building\nof that railway? Sir, what has made\nthis city and all the cities, along that\nrailway is the development of the mineral wealth which has been tapped by\nthat line and which could not bave\nbeen utilized but for that railway. The\ncoal measures along that line would be\ntoday where they were fifteen yearB\nago, still In the bowels of the earth,\nbut for that railway. The other industries that depend upon it, the production of gnld to a large extent, of\nsilver and copper and lead, to a still\nlarger extent, it is the construction of\nthe Crow's Nest railway which has\ngiven the impetus, which has brought\nthe great increase of population here\n(that is now building these cities which\nare becoming more and more prosperous.\nThe Transcontinental.\nNot only that but we also undertook\nto construct a new transcontinental\nrailway. Sir, I know this railway is\nvery far away from you. It may not\nappeal directly to you, but, sir, I know\nthere is enough patriotism in this part\nof southern British Columbia to know\nthat although you may not be bene*\nfited directly by that railway, indirectly It Ib one of the great assets of Ur*t-\nIsh Columbia at the present time. Not\nonly tbat it is also one of the greatest\nassets of Canada as .a.whole. Sir, 'hat\nrailway has been combated in e^ery\npossible form ever since it was proposed in parliament, by the Conservative party. It was not over popular In\nthe rankB of the Liberal party. I had\na ministerial crisis over lt, and one of\nmy colleagues, Mr. Blair, resigned over\nit, but I say now 1 think events have\nshown that that railway did not come\na day too soon and ir there is anything\nthat will make British Columbia more\nprosperous even than it is at the present time, it Is the opening of that railway. Therefore, I Bay that the policy\nwe have followed Ib a policy which\nought to be endorsed and I am sure will\nbe endorsed by the people in this part\nof British Columbia.\nImmigration Policy.\nThen another feature of our policy\nis in regard to Immigration. I told you\nthat up to the year 1896 Canada made\nscarcely any progress, we did not even*\nkeep our own population, British Columbia was stagnant, making no progress at all. The same ls true of the\nprairie provinces, Ontario and Quebec,\nand it Is true that during the forty\nyears preceding 1896 we did not succeed in keeping the natural increase of\nour population, but they went over by\nthe thousands, nay the hundred thousands, Into .the United States. But\nnow Blr we have turned ihe tables. It\nis not the Canadians today who are going into the United States, it is the\nAmericans who are coming into Canada. Sir, in those old days we were\novershadowed. For one hundred years\nwe were overshadowed by the great\nrepublic to the south. The United\nStates were launched at the time of\nthe war of independence into the world\nunder a halo of glory and for one hundred years they were the magnets that\ndrew every man of energy and enterprise in the world. \" Any man anywhere in the world with brains, activity,\nenergy, who felt himself cramped in\nhis native land took his ticket and went\nto the United States. But those days\nare passed and the United States is replaced by Canada. It is Canada today\nwho is attracting the gaze of the peoples of the world. The prairies have\nbeen filled so that today there ls probably between Lake Superior and the\nRocky mountains a population of nearly a million souls. Now, str, Ib lt not\ntrue that you people In the southern\npart of British Columbia have a most\nvaluable trade with this new population\nin the prairies? They supply the market for your products and furnish the\nfood products that you require and\ntherefore bring nbout the prosperity\nyou now enjoy.\nFiscal Policy.\nA third cause of your prosperity ami\nof the prosperity of the country is our\nfiscal policy. The fiscal question is\nnot an easy problem. I have visited\nthose provinces that I have just named.\nWhen I was in the prairie provinces 1\nmet a population of producers of natural products and they were anxious for\nfreedom of trade. As soon as I landed\nat Vancouver I received ah address\nfrom the mayor and board of trade ln\nwhich tbey asked for protection. They\nasked free trade at one end, protection\nat the'other. I said very well, gentlemen, I will refer your petition and\nthe petition of the prairies to my\nfriend, Mr. Fielding, and I hope he will\nbe able to draw from them, as he did\nbefore, a tariff suitable to everyone,\nThere is an old saying that the proof\nof the pudding is the eating, and I am\nsure that even my Conservative friends\nwho are present will on fair enough to\nadmit that we have put on the table\nfor them and for all the people ot Canada, a pudding which has been fruitful\nand whieh haB given us the best food\nwe have had since confederation. There\nis no doubt our tariff haB been the\nbest tariff ever devised but this tariff\nfs not perfect. I will not go over the\nground covered a moment ago hy Mr.\nPardee but let me call your attention\nto this, that the cardinal feature of the\ntariff adopted in 1907 was the British\npreference. On the 23rd of April, 1907,\nwe determined to give to the products\nof Great Britain a preference of 12 1-2\nper cent, which was increased two\nyears afterwards to 25 per cent, and\nsubsequently increased to 33 1-3 per\ncent. Now this has been a regulation\nof prices of all goods introduced into\nCanada which had to pay duty even\nthough they came from Germany, the\nUnited States or any other portion of\nthe earth, for in order that they might\ncome into circulation and be used by\nconsumers their prices had to be\nbrought down to the prices of the British, article. It has been a regulator of\nprofits. Let me say also that it is a\ncardinal and standing feature of the\nCanadian tariff and as long as we are\nin office it shall remain there. It was\nnot adopted without much effort and\nthought. We had a most determined\nopposition from his majesty's opposition of the Conservative party. They\nopposed it for two reasons. First they\nsaid that such a reduction would kill\nour manufactures. Well they could not\nmaintain that position very long because the manufactures were not killed, the factory chimneys did not tumble\ndown. On the contrary, more were\nbuilt And they could not be consistent and honest or even politic by\nmaintaining such an argument. The\nsecond objection they raised was that\nit was not right for us to give a preference to Great Britain unlesB we received a preference in return. Now\ngentlemen the British policy is a policy\nof free trade, therefore was not possible\nfor them to give us a preference without changing altogether their fiscal\npolicy. Now whatever may be tbe\npolicy of the Conservative party it is\nnot the policy of this government to ask\nthe British people to change their\npolicy. We claim the right to make our\nown tariff to Buit our own needs and\ninterests and the right we claim I think\nought to be given to the British people\nas well. We intepd to maintain our\npolicy of preference to Great Britain,\nleaving it to the British people themselves to give us a preference or not\nto give It Recording as it may suit their\ninterests to give or withhold it. I\nhave been told that unless there is a\nmutual agreement between Great Britain and Canada on matters of tariff the\nBritish connection will be in jeopardy.\nWhat an insult to the Canadian people!\nOur loyalty does not depend on any\ntariff agreement, our loyalty is deep\nrooted in the heart. But there is another country with which we should\nhave better arrangements and a better\ntrade policy. A country of ninety\nmillion people, which Ib at our door, a\ncountry of kindred blood and kindred\nrace and with which we can certainly\nhave most valuable and profitable\ntrade. Sir, I have often said and it is\nmy opinion still that the relations existing between Canada and Great Britain and the United States are not\nworthy of such great nations as they\nare. But I hasten to say also that if\nthe commercial relations between Canada and the United States are not on a\nbetter footing, it is not the fault of\nCanada but of the United States. It\nwas our policy to have a treaty of\nreciprocity with the United States and\nindeed in 1896, shortly after we had\ntaken office, I sent two of my colleagues, Sir Louis DavlB and Sir Richard Cartwright, to interview the American government and discuss with them\nwhether it was possibie to improve our\ntrade relations. We were received\npolitely but with a cold shoulder and\nfrom that moment I said goodbye to\nWashington. I determined that there\nshould be no more pilgrimages to\nWashington. That if there were to\nbe any more pilgrimages they should\nbe from Washington to Canada. (Prolonged applause).\nReciprocity.\nWe have not since tbat time sent a\ndelegation to Washington but it so happened tbat a delegation came from\nWashington to Ottawa. I understand\nthat it is possible that we shall have\novertures for reciprocity with the United States. Such overtures we are at\nall times prepared to meet. I am always a great admirer of the American\npeople. They have a great many splendid qualities and they have one quality\nwhich is perhaps more prominent than\nany other one. It ls that they always\nstand for number one and for my part\nI think tt would be well for us to take\na leaf from their book and if we are\nto have negotiations tor reciprocity we\nnlso should stand for number one. But,\nsir, 1 can Bee that there are many things\nconcerning which we might have better\nrelations with the United States. Something however has to be kept In mind.\nFirst we have to keep ln mind the\nBritish preference. Nothing is to interfere with that. Then we have trade\nrelations with other nations In the\nworld. We have our treaty with\nFrance, with Japan, and. we bave to\ntake care that the new concessions of\ntrade given to those nations shall not\nThe New Furs\nAre In\nWe cordially invite the many visitors to Nelson to come in and see\nour fine display of the new season's furs.

And everyone\nknows who knows anything of these\nquestions, that there are a number of\narticles in which we can trade with the\nUnited States without interfering with\nour trade in Great Britain. We must\nremember also that the United States\nnre far in advance of us in regard to\nother articles and we have to take care\nthat no treaty we negotiate shall put\nin Jeopardy any existing interest. With\nthese two exceptions I think it would\nbe well to try and Improve our relations\nwith our neighbors. But, sir, a strange\nthing has taken place. I hear already\nechoes which come to me In this far\npart of the country from the Conservative press in Toronto and elsewhere,\nthat objection is taken already to negotiating any treaty with the United\nStates on the ground that it will interfere with and put in jeopardy our\ntrade relations with Great Britain.\nSir, what more absurd position could\nbe taken. If there be any way whereby we could improve our trade relations with Great Britain it is by having\na friendlier relation with the United\nStates. The more we are on friendly\nterms with the American people tbe\nmore satisfactory will be our relations\nwith Great Britain, because Great Britain has no better customer than the\nUnited States and the United States\nhas no better customer than Great\nBritain, and the relations are mutually\nbeneficial, and If we were lucky enough\nwe should do Great Britain a benefit\nby securing a fair commercial treaty\nwith the United States. But it is characteristic of the Conservative party that\nwhenever a step forward Ib made by\nCanada It is opposed by them on the\nground that it is going to Jeopardize the\nrelation of Canada to Great Britain. The\nold reformers, there may be some, not\nmany in thiB audience, will remember\nthe old struggle that took place In\nOntario and Quebec for responsible-\ngovernment. They remember also the\nefforts made at the time the reformers Baldwin, Lafontaine and William\nLyon Mackenzie, were opposed by the\ntory party because they said it would\ninjure the British connection. But,\nsir, responsible government instead of\njeopardizing British connection has\nbeen the means of making it dearer\nif possible to the Canadian people. Now\nwe are told that if we improve our relations with the United States we shall\nendanger the British connection. And\nonly last winter, hardly four months\nago, we were told that if we would\nbuild a Canadian navy we would also\ninjure the British connection. There\nhas never been a step taken by the\nCanadian people in the course of their\nadvancement as a nation but it was opposed by the Conservative party on the\nground thnt it would injure tho British\nconnection.\nCanadian Navy\nWhy did we introduce Uie policy of\nthe Canadian navy? Sir. we did it in\n1910 because in 1909 the Canadian parliament passed a unanimous resolution,\nvoted for by Mr. Borden, by Mr. Foster,\nby the whole Conservative party, with-\n(Continued on Page Eight.)\nWhen tbe stomach falls to perform ita\nfunctions, the bowels become deranged, the\nliver and tbe kidneys congested, causing\nnumerous diseases.
