F. Teetzel, water\ncommissioner for the Nelson water district. These are the first new licenses\nissued for this water district since the\ncoming into, force of the act, and Mr.\nTeetzel has 'been working on them more\nor. less ever since he assumed office,\n. nearly a year ago. Under the old act\nvarious parties held water records, but\nthese were all dealt with by the board\nof provincial water commissioners last\nfall at Its sitting at Nelson, the majority of records being converted into\nlicenses, but a few being cancelled. The\nNelson water district extends to Nakusp on the Arrow lakes, to Great\n'Sheep creek west of Rossland, to Kitchener on the east and to Balfour on\ntf|ft.north.\nThe present licenses, though granted\nIn the names of various individuals or\ncompanies, appertain strictly to the\nlands for use upon which they are\ngranted and in case the licensee and\nthe land part company, the license goes\nwith the land. \u2022   ,\nProviding Names\nAn incident of the present issuance\nof licenses Is the necessity for naming\nhitherto unnamed streams, nnder the\nclause reading: \"The water commissioner shall give every Btream, whether\nalready named or not, or whether\nknown by one or more names, an official mime, and such stream shall thereafter be known by that official name\nand no other.\" Of the streams mentioned in these 61 licenses, 25 have\nbeen dubbed by Mr. Teetzel under this\nclause. Usually he has named the unnamed stream after the applicant for\nthe license, but in one case where partners named Wynne and Gillespie applied, he compromised on \"Wyngll.\" A\nlady applicant was honored by taking\nher first name. Where the applicant\nbeara a name not easy to pronounce,\napparently, the commissioner has elected to name the creek after the applicant's place of residence;\nThe largest quantity of water granted Is 168 cubic feet, to the Pacific Exploration company, for the Pend\nd'Orielle power proposition. ' Respectable quantities are also granted for\nthe Mother Lode, Clyde-Belt, Golden\nBelle and Eureka groups of the Sheep'\ncreek camp and the Yankee Girl group\nof the Ymir camp. The great majority\nof the licenses, however, are Issued to\nranchers for irrigation or domestic purposes, the quantities ranging as low ns\n1-1000 cubic foot. The quantities are\nquoted In terms of cubic feet per second. Some licenses are back-dated\nsome months, having regard to the\ntimes when the applications were made\nand heard, and some are dated ahead\nto March l of the current year.\nThe following ts a Hat of the 61 licenses in the order in which they were\nIssued:\nParticulars of Licenses\n\"\"The (Pacific Exploration Company,\nLimited, NelBon, 169 cu. ft from the\nPend d'Oreille river, for power pur*\nposes, part of lot 5372, group 1, Kootenay district.\nThe Yankee Girl Gold Mines, Limited,\nNelson, 4 cu. ft. from Bear creek\n(emptying Into Salmon river) for proposed -power house of Yankee Girl\nmine, 3-4 mile from mouth of creek.\nOle Johnson, Creston, 1-2 cu. ft., from\nseepage water from lower tunnel of\nElsie Holmes mine, for agricultural pur*\nposes, lots 134 and 135, block 34, Koote-\nnav Valley lands.\nMilton B.

This measure passed its\nsecond reading and It was specially\nnoticeable in debate that practical unanimity of opinion prevailed to the effect that prohibition by statutory enactment of the use of liquors Inevitably\nhas Its sequel In stimulation and spread\nof muoh more injurious drug habits.\nVictoria's Predicament\nPremier McBride during the afternoon made a special statement with respect to the unique situation arising as\nto the domestic affairs of Victoria city.\nThis matter was of urgent public interest and had been engaging the attention of the government during the\npaBt 48 hours as a result of which the\nlegislature would be asked to pass within the next two or three days extraordinary legislation to meet the necessities of the occasion. He referred to\nthe conditions prevailing in. Victoria\narising out of the decision of Justice\nGregory in connection with the proceedings taken by B. J. Pierre against the\nvalidity of the election of the present\nincumbent of the mayor's chair.

In character it\nis similar to the other ores of the district, being low grade copper, gold and\nsilver. The Lone Star was acquired by\nits present owners about five years ago\nand sufficient development work has\nbeen carried out to assure the mine\ncontinuing on the shipping list for a\nlengthy period. In addition to the ore\nblocked out hy development work diamond drilling has proved that the\nvalues continue to considerable depth.\nThis will be the second property added to the shippers of the B. C. Copper\ncompany during the past 12 months,\nthe other being the Wellington camp.\nTho Napoleon, which is located near\nNorthport, Wash., has also commenced\nto ship within recent months.\nImpressed by Sheep Creek\n\"The veins nre apparently trim fissures, the geological formation Is most\nsatisfactory, the values are high and\nthe history of the camp tells a.wonderful story,\" said J. L. Parker the well\nknown Victoria mining engineer, when\nseen at the Strathcona last night on his\nreturn from a trip of Inspection of the\nSiieep creek camp. Mr. Parker, on be\nhalf of Alvo von Alvensleben, the Vancouver capitalist, went 'down to the\nSalmon river, gold camp for the purpose\nof reporting upon the Devlin Lode\ngroup. Mr. von Alvensleben is one of\nthe heaviest mining operators at the\nconst and bis interest in Sheep creek\nis regarded by local mining men aB a\nvery happy indication of the rapidly in\ncreasing interest tbat Is being taken in\ntbe camp by big capitalists in Vancouver and other financial centres.\n\"My general impression of the camp\nis very favorable, indeed,\" continued\nMr. Parker. \"I was taken through the\nworkings of the Nugget'mine and was\nmuch impressed by the amount of ore\nIn sight the strong system of veins and\nthe miner-like manner hV-which the property Ib being operated. On the Golden\nBelle, too, I found that the veins were\nvery promising.\n\"About the only thing lacking in the\ncamp as far as I can see 'is a supply of\ncheap power. The values of the properties would be very greatly enhanced if\nsome company would build an electric\npower line in and supply the current\nat, say, $40 per horse power per year.\nOf course, many of the mines are supplied with water power but water has\ncertain limitations.\"\nDiamond Drilling  Proves Depth\nThe greater part of the machinery\nfor' the Van-Rol mill at SUverton has\nreached its destination and is being\nhauled up and installed. It ls expected\nthat the mill will be in operation by\nMarch 1 and tbat tbe force at the mine\nand mill will be increased to 100 men.\nIt was stated yesterday by prominent\nmining men that the decision by tbe\ndirectors of the Van-Roil Mining company to erect this mill was arrived at\nas a result of the highly encouraging\nresults of the diamond drilling carried\non last summer.\nThe mine has already attained great\ndepth and It is said that the drills proved the existence of high grade ore at a\ndepth of 500 feet below the present\nworking*, in conjunction with the recent strike on the Rambler-Cariboo at a\ndepth of 1050 feet the results of the\ndiamond drilling on the Van-Roi provide almost indisputable evidence that\nthe Slocan ores Increase! both as to\nbody and values as greater depth Is\nattained.\nTwelve Favored Nations Benefit by Reciprocity\nCANADA OBTAINS\nNO EQUIVALENT\nDETERMINED   SUICIDE\nROSTHERN, Sask., Feb. 3\u2014Carl\nBluden, a German farmer living 35\nmiles west of Rosthern, committed suicide by hanging himself in his barn.\nThe barn was so low that the man had\nto bend his knees, which were almost\ntouching the floor.

In\naddition, editorials from newspapers\nwere put on record, ovor an hour being\ntaken up with this sort of tiling.\nDr. Clarke made a strong free trade\nspeech and criticized Mr. Foster for\nsaying that there would be a conquest\nof Canada by gifts,    lie declared that\nday will be the last private members'\nday of the session.\nMr. Owen read a telegram from\nWashington, stating that Senator Cum-\nmlngs had moved that the reciprocity\nagreement be amended so as to admit\ninto the United States the manufactured\nproducts of Canada. He asked if this\nwas done at Washington would the\nCanadian government take similar action.\nMr. Fielding replied that such action\non the part of the United States would\nnot affect the agreement because the\nUnited States was at perfect liberty to\nmake additional concessions. As to\nwhat Canada would do, he thought it\nwould be well to receive such a proposition before replying to It.\nMr. Foster asked for a copy of all\nmemorials in regard to the agreement\nso far brought down. \"It Is getting\nquite interesting,\" he said \"and we\nshould have them all.\"\nSir Wilfrid Laurier: \"Hear hear.\"\nFor over an hour the houBe did nothing but listen to the presentation of\nmemorials and resolutions passed by\nvarious bodies in regard to tariff agreement.\nGus Porter (East Hastings), started\nthe ball rolling by presenting a statement- on behalf of strawboard manufacturers who claim that they will suffer on account of the provision that\npaper which sells for four cents or less\nwill be duty free.\nMr. Knowles presented a resolution\npassed by the Swift Current board of\ntrade averring that the agreement\nmeets with the approval of the people\nof Saskatchewan and that freer trade\nrelations with tiie United States would\nnot affect the loyalty of the people of\nthat part of the Dominion.\nFrom Fruit Growers.\nA.

There is no\nnecessity for such nor any general demand for it in Canada. Reciprocity\nwill suddenly dislocate Canada's present trade and divert a great deal of\nIt to the advantage of the United\nStates. This will also have an effect\non our trade with Great Britain which\nis our best customer and at present ab*\nsorlis the greater part, of our exports.\nIt will not tend advantageously towards\nthe easy solution of the problem of\nimperial federation.

The general farmer of the Niagara district had\nto become a fruit farmer. A whole system of commercial agencies had to be\nformed and perfected so that these\nproducts might be brought to the consumer in such a manner and with such\neconomy of intermediate charges that,\nthe producer would be able to make a\nreasonable profit.\nNow the capital and experience invested In that organization is to be\nthrown on the scrap heap, instead of\nbeing further developed and perfected\nas it would be under stable conditions.\nThe eastern farmer who has learned\nto produce for the British market is to\nbe allured into producing for the American market.\nAnd then, after the farmer has lost\ntouch with the British consumer, after\nthe present marketing organization has\ngone to pieces, the United States congress may do again what It did before,\nit may reimpose duties on our products,\nmay again close its markets to our pro-\ndue's. There is no treaty. Either country may and the agreement at any time\nwithout notice. Once more we may .ggj-\nhave to go through the long and costly\nprocess of finding new markets and\ncreating a new commercial organization. Will that pay the farmer or any\none else? Is it wise to create a state\nof industrial instability and Insecurity?\nlasted for fifteen or twenty years, will\nbe under no such delusion.\nTbe C.P.R. was completed and in operation from end to end in 1886. A\nfew years later, in 1890, the Northern\nPacific built branch lines in Manitoba.\nThe prairie did not require to be cleared. The Dominion government and the\nC.P.R. to say nothing of other corporations, did their best to attract settlers.\nHow did they succeed?\nIn 1896, ten years after the railway\niwas in operation the total number of\narrivals in Canada was only 21,716. In\n1900, fourteen years after the railway\nwas in operation, the total number of\narrivals in Canada was still only 23,895.\nUnder both Liberal and Conservative\ngovernments immigration was disappointing.\nThe figures already quoted include\nall arrivals. Only a proportion of these\ncame to settle on the land. The total\nnumber of homestead entries In 1895\nwas only 2394. In 1901 it was still only\nS167. A similar story Is revealed by\nthe statistics for land sales.\nThe Dominion government's revenue\nfrom lands in 1895 was but $268,552.\nLand sales by the C.P.R. and all other\ncompanies having land grants, Including the Hudson's Bay Co., amounted in\n.1896 to but 108,016 acres. That was\nten years after the railway had been\nin operation, with the Northern Pacific\nIu operation also in Manitoba, and on\nthe prairie where it is not necessary\nto clear land. It was the result of the\ncombined efforts of the Dominion and\nof the C.P.R. and other companies.\nDuring the four years between 1902\nand 1906 a great expansion began. Why\nthat expansion began then and why it\ndid not begin before, we shall consider\nin another article. How great it was\nis indicated by the following table:\nArrivals in Canada:\n1896     21,716\n1900      23,895\n1900    202,469\n1910    325,000\nTotal revenue from Dominion lands:\n189G    ?   268,552\n1906     2,715,816\nNumber of homestead entries:\n1895      2,394\n1900     7,426\n1907    37,778\n1908    30,447\nLand sales from land grants:\n1S96       108,016 acres....\n1906    1,642,684 acres....\nSales by C.P.R.:\n43,155 acres, value ?  131.G2S\n1906 1,012,322 acres, value   6,015,050\nIMMIGRATION\u2014THE PRAIRIE WAITED SIXTEEN  YEARS\nDEJECTED PRISONER REMAINS\nCROUCHED  IN  CELL\nSome of those who are ready to\nstrike off an immigration policy for\nBritish Columbia at a moment's notice\nappear to be under tbe impression that\nalmost all that is necessary Is to provide railways and land and then bring\nin the settlers.

B.\nTownsend died at the residence of her\ndaughter, Mrs. Anthony Turner, here yesterday. She nnd her husband were pioneers\nin the province, having come to Victoria\n45 years ago. For 20 years they resided hi\nNew Westminster, where Mr. Townaoml\nwas three times elected mayor. Later they\nmoved to Rossland, where they lived for\n10 years, and then moved to Nelson, where\nfour years ago Mr. Townsend'a life was\nended In a railway accident\nAGREE REGARDING\nPRICE OF EGGS\nPoultry Association Discusses Question\nWith Revelstoke Merchants\u2014Pay\nMore for Local Produce.\n(Special to The Dally News.)\nREVELSTOKE, B. C, Feb. 23\u2014Owing\nto dissatisfaction at the prlceB obtained by local poultrymen for strictly new-\nlaid eggs a meeting of the Poultry association was called last night to dls*\ncuss the matter and see if some satisfactory arrangement could not be arrived at whereby both merchants and\nproducers could be benefitted. It was\nbrought out at this meeting that at\ntimes two or perhaps three different\nprices prevailed in the city for eggs,\none merchant offering GO cents per\ndozen, another 65 and another 75 cents.\nThis was occasioned by the importation of inferior eggs from outside\npoints which while labelled \"fresh\"\neggs were sometimes found to be anything hut what they were presumed to\nbe. The local merchants were agreed\nthat locnl eggs fresh from tbe nest were\nworth from 5 to 10 cents per dozen\nmore than the imported eggs and that\nconsumers were willing to pay the\nprice for them. To obviate any further\nfriction in the matter it was decided\nto appoint a committee who should each\nweek consult with the local merchants\nto agree upon a price which will be\npublished in the local paper. Producers\ncan then know exactly what the merchants are agreed to pay for the eggs.\nSchool  Heating Plant.\nSome dissatisfaction having arisen\nover the working of the heating plant\nat the new $05,000 school here, a meeting of the school board was called last\nnight to consult with the architect and\nthe contractors as to the reasons for\nsame. The school board are at a loss\nto know whether the plant was In>\nstalled according to specifications, no\nplans being as yet available, and the\ncontractors are clamoring for their pay.\nHowever, the board remained firm and\nwill not pass the bills till the plans are\nforthcoming. Architect King promised\nto procure them from the coast, after\nwhich a thorough examination of the\nschool will be made and the bill passed\nIn due form.\nFifteen Oddfellows from Salmon Arm\ntoday visited the local lodge here for\nthe purpose of conferring degree work,\nafter which a banquet was served.\nWhite here the visitors indulged in a\ngame of hockey with a team selected\nfrom the local lodge.\nF. M. Gibson arrived here yesterday\nto take charge of this branch of the\nBank of Commerce, tbe former manager going to Fairview branch in Vancouver to take charge there. Mr. Gibson comes from Fort Frances where he\nlias occupied a similar position there\nfor some years.\nTonI Sorokoska of Polish extraction,\nwas committed to Kamloops jail on\nTuesday for a term of six months' imprisonment. The charge laid against\nhim was that of vagrancy. Magistrate\nFoster in sentencing the youth remarked: \"You have shown no regard\nfor the truth, and but for your corrected statements I should have felt my\nself forced to'have indicted you for\nperjury. By the evidence of yourself\nand others you have brought your sister from Winnipeg, taken her to a\nplace which to say the least waa of a\nquestionable character and tried to persuade her against her Svtll to stay\nthere. You have taken your sister to\nthe home of a man and let her stay\nthere knowing that, other men resorted\nthere and according to your own evidence you have stayed there with your\nsister yourself. I consider you a most\ndespicable character and If It were In\nmy power 1 would send you to jail for\nthe full term that such an offence demanded and sentence you to receive the\nlash from time to time.\"\nOn having the sentence communicated to her in her own Innguage, the\nsister, who was present at the trial,\nthrew herself prone on her face on the\npolice court floor and sobbed as though\nher heart would break. The magistrate\nalso severely censured her and advised\nher to mend her ways or return to her\nhome in Winnipeg.    ,\nINTERESTED IN\nPAINT FACTORY\nNelion   Men   Leave   to   Inspect  New\nPlant Near Spokane\u2014May Built\nHere\nJ. J. Malone and L. K. Larson left on\nyesterday morning's Spokane train for\nthe purpose of making an inspection of\na plant which Is being erected at a cost\nof $100,000 near the Inland Empire capital for the purpose of manufacturing\nlead and zinc paints by the Klngsley\npatent chemical process. With them\nis A. Cordon French, the well known\nmetallurgical chemist, who will report\non the process on behalf of a number\nof other NelBon men who are interested in the factory.\nThe company which is building this\nplant is the owner of a number of mines\nIn the Coeur d'Alenes which will supply the metals for the production of\nthe paint. The great advantage of the\nKlngsley system of manufacturing the\npaint is that It can be produced from\nthe rough ore in six hours whereas\nunder tbe old system the time occupied\nwas some days and then only when the\nstraight metals were used.\nThe machinery for the factory has\nheen ordered and the Work had commenced on the Bite upon which the experimental plant has already proved a\nsuccess.\nWhen the Spokane reduction works\nhave heen in running order for a short\ntime it is the intention of the operating company to build a similar paint\nand by-product factory in the Kootenays for the purpose of dealing with\nthe ores of this district. The point,\nselected for this plant will in all probability be Nelson, the centre of the lead\nand zinc producing territory of southeastern British Columbia. The only\nother factory built on the Klngsley plan\nIs In 'Austria where It haB proved a\ngreat success.\nPERMANENT PILE-\nDRIVING PLANT\nGovernment Outfit Will be Retained on\nKootenay Lake\u2014Boathouse at\nQueens Bay\n(Sneclnl to The Dally News.)\nQUEENS BAY, B.C., Feb. 23\u2014It has\nbeen decided by the public works department of the Dominion government,\nto keep the steam pile driving plant,\nwhich has recently been used in the\nconstruction o\u00a3 new government\nwharves at Queens Bay and Proctor,\non Kootenay lake, and a warehouse has\nbeen erected at Queens Bay for Its accommodation during the spring and\nsummer, at which periods the water in\nthe lake is too high to allow of\nwharves being built. It Is understood\nthat, this place was selected owing to\nits central position on the main lake,\nbeing equally available for the Kaslo\nand Kootenay Landing districts as also\nfor that portion of the lake known as\nthe West Arm.\nThere can be no doubt but that a permanent wharf available for the steamboat service at all states of the water,\nIs one of the greatest acquisitions that\nany settlement can obtain and the erection of a series of government wharves\nin connection with the roads already\nformed and those in course of construction around the lake will help considerably In the development of existing settlements and the formation of\nmany new ones and It may In the near\nfuture do away with the necessity of\nthe, at present, too frequent stoppages\nat the many private landlngB by the\nsteamerB between NelBon and Proctor.\nTO SOLVE TANGLE\nIN VICTORIA\n(Continued from page one.\nsame position and Incapacitated. Under\nthese, circumstances it was essential\nsuch action should forthwith be taken\nas would prevent the interests of the\ncity being impaired and It was therefore the intention to present legislation.\nThe government in its consideration of\nthe situation and of the Bteps necessary in the exceptional premises had\nhad the benefit of the views of the\nsolicitor for the city nnd had also listened to certain proposals by gentlemen assuming to speak as to what the\ncitizens themselves would like to have\ndone, with regard thereto, and in view\nof the groat importance of preventing\nany mjschevious false impression to\n| get abroad as to the present position of\nVictoria the government had come to\nthe determination to submit a bill\nwhich he would lay before the house on\nFriday, which would provide in the first\nplace for the validation of acts of the\nmunicipal council to date. In the second\nplace it was Intended to authorize the\npresent mayor and council to carry on\nthe business of the city until such time\nas a new election could be brought on,\nsuch business being necessarily limited\nto routine, works under construction\nor works already under contract. Power would not be given to initiate now\nworks or to submit or pass money bylaws. It was proposed alBO to absolve\nthe members of the present council\nfrom any penalties to which they might\nhave rendered themselves liable. It\nwould also be provided that offices thus\nto be temporarily administered should\nat the earliest opportunity be declared\nvacant by the lieutenant-governor in\ncouncil, the lieutenant-governor in conn'\nell being empowered to fix a new election day and also to appoint a commission whose duty it would be to conv\npile, revise and confirm the list, of voters for the new election to be held,\nthere being from the final decision of\nthis commission no appeal. It would be\nprovided that the lists of voters should,\nafter compilation by the commission,\nbe posted for five days at the city hall\nbefore final confirmation by the commissioners who would afterwards hold\na court of revision. The necessary expenses of the lit- welectton would be\nborne by the city, being payable upon\nvoucher of the provincial secretary,\nand power would lie given for the lieutenant governor in council to do all\nother necessary things to carry out the\nIntent of tho act under the circumstances. He thought thnt a measure\nsuch as he had sketched would afford\nnecessary relief for Victoria and also\noperate effectually for the protection\nof other municipalities throughout the\nprovince.      *\nMINT TURNING\nOUT NEW COINS\nOTTAWA, Feb. 23\u2014The first coins\nmade in the Ottawa branch of the Itoynl\nmint bearing the head of King George\nV on the obverse were turned out yesterday.

Rallies in wheat were few and\nfar hetween, hut unloading taken as a\nwhole was of a scattered sort, in consequence tbe decline proved less rapid than\nmany dealers thought probable In view of\nthe generallv bearish sentiment thnt swayed tbe trade. The most pronounced weakness developed following the news that the\nestimated shipments for the week from\nArgentine showed an Increase, and that\nprices at Buenos Ayres were dropping like\nlead.

Closing\nprices recorded few net changes of consequence save in the case of some of tbe\nspecialties which were advanced presumably as the result of pool manipulations;.\nbear leaders held the market at the opening, but their efforts availed them little.\nEvidences of support at small concessions\nchecked the aelllng, and after a dip in the\nfirst hour the market righted itself. Prices\nwere maintained throughout the remainder\nof the day on an approximate par with\nTuesday's close. Concerted bidding up of\nspecialties In the last hour lent an appearance of strength and activity to trading\nbut there was no response from the usual\nmarket   leaders.\nTrading In the Gould security again took\nup a large share of the transactions, although there was less evidence of aggressive buying than on the earlier days of\nlhe week and their prices advanced more\nreluctantly.

He gave great satisfaction and at present is engaged upon a\ntour of the west. The lecture here on\nMarch 11 will be the first delivered in\nBritish Columbia.\nThe following letter from Rt.

Henry George Jr.\nhas all his father's fervor and devotion.\nHis own wide reading and experience,\nand his native talents and gifts, make\nhim one of the most inspiring and interesting public speakers 1 have ever\nheard.\"\nThe chamber of commerce of Pittsburg, Pa., writes of the lecturer as follows: \"Mr, George's lecture on 'Commercial and Industrial Japan,1 given on\nMarch 10, 1010 was listened to with\ngreat interest by a large number of our\nmembers. Mr. George, by reason of his\ntravels In Japan and his study of industrial and social conditions there, is ably\nqualified to speak on this subject, and\nhis address to the chamber of commerce was, I believe, greatly appreciated, because of the Interest which American manufacturers are coming to\ntake in Japanese affairs.

(Before presenting It\nto the cabinet, I slightly changed the\nwording, which read as follows: 'Resolved that we ask the government to pass\nan act which will allow a number of\nneighbors In districts not within an organized municipality, to form themselves\ninto a water municipality, for the purpose\nof Installing o water system, giving them\nthe power tu issue debentures on the properly In their community, for the purpose\nof installing and equipping the same, and\nof collecting an annual tax for the repayment of the same; also power to transfer\nany existing water records granted for\nwater for any of the lands that will he\ntaken In by the municipality, to the municipality for their general purpose.\" In\nconsultation with Mr. Drewry, he considers\nthis tiie best solution of existing difficulties, ami will not interfere wltli preference\nrights now held hy those In the community\nwho now hold existing water rights.\n\"With reference to dates of meetings\ncoming at the same time as municipal\nelections, Mr. Scott, deputy minister, stated\nthat he regretted this having taken place\nthis year, and that he would try to avoid\nIt in future.\n\"I also presented two further resolutions,\nRiver Drivers and\nTimber Cruisers\nWe have just placed in stock\nthe original\nCelebrated    throughout    the\nUnited States   and   Canada.\nThe best river shoe made\nRoyal Shoe Store\nR, Andrews, Proprietor.\nwhich were unanimously carried by the\nmeeting. The ilrst was tbat the government should grant the same reductions on\nfreight rates from points within British\nColumbia, on purebred live stock, as are\nnow granted from points without the\nprovince to points within British Columbia.\nIn explanation of this request. It Is nt\npresent n hardship to breeders within the\nprovince, to have not tbe same advantage\nas a breeder in Ontario or Alberta, and as\nBritish Columbia has now some of the\nfinest stock in Canada, the owners should\nnot be put to present disadvantages. 1\nalso brought forward a resolution, which\nevery man present seemed anxious to\nsecond, lo the effect that we would suggest to the government that, in view of the\ngood now being accomplished throughout\nthe province hy the ladles' Institutions recently established by the department of\nagriculture, they grant them the same\nprivileges of sending delegates to a central\nmeeting at Victoria, which we now enjoy.\nI may say that this was adopted enthusiastically' by Ihe meeting, and from conversations with officials of the department\nand members of the house, I am assured\nthat this will be granted as soon as the\nladies Institutes have the necessary legal\nstandtmr. which will be arranged as soon\nas possible.\nRULINGS ON SOME\nEXPRESS MATTERS\nCharges  to  be  Made  on All   Returned\nEmpties After March First\u2014New\nReceipt   Forms   Authorised\nThe local office of the Dominion Express\ncompany draws attention to tho express,\nclassification for Canada.
