In the discussion that ensued\nSmith made charges that exorbitant salaries were being paid to officials ot\nthe company. He said he understood\ntbat the consulting engineer. Dr. Waddell was paid 125,000 a year aud he\ncompared this salary to that of the chief\nengineer of the Grand Trunk Pacific\nwho got $10,000. He said that he understood that the general manager was\ngetting $50,000 a year and that the\npresident of the road was getting $60.-\n000 a year. These were certainly exorbitant.\nExorbitant Estimates\nHolding in his hand Waddell's estimate of the cost ol the road he quoted\nestimates of $12 an acre for right of\nway. This was exorbitant for the country through which the road was passing. Most of the land was Dominion\ngovernment, and therefore would .cost\nnothing. He quoted \u00bb1 a yard tor loose\nrock and \u00bb2.40 for solid rock work. He\noompared this with the Grand Trunk\nPacific figures at Wolf Creek, a much\nharder country, which were on'y 65\ncents tor loose rock snd J1.25 for solid\nrock.

Backed by\nthe influence or the British government,\nall Hie resources of English science and\nthe wealth of English spinners and dealers,\nthe planters in the island believe they can\nanswer the question in the affirmative. <\u00bb\"\nSea Island cotton was Introduced In tho\nWest Indies as an experiment In the first\nyears of the present century, but did not\nbegin to attract wide attention until 1904.\nThen slilmnente totalling 55,*S25 pounds of\nhigh giade cotton from St. Kitts and Nevis\ncaused the American raisers to take notice.\nFVom that date the increase In West Indies cotton has heen the talk of the English iimnufa-turcrs. Tn 1006 the crop for\na few islands was 2fi*l,77S pounds, a phen-\nrtiiVpn-i) advance, and in 190H the crop was\n326,45*1 pounds, more than a quarter million\nponds over what It was two years before.\nPRINCE ITO'S ROLE\nVICTORIA, March 18\u2014News was received from Pekin by the Empress of\nIndia that Kln-yu-wel. the reformer who\nfled frorm Pekin in 1899 has been pardoned, and recalled to Pekin to play in\nChina the r*\u00b0'e of the late Prince Ito\nin Japan.\nJFmA to Move for Fear\nof Assassination\nVICTORIA, March 1S.-W. H. Tyall, ft\ntea planter of Assan, who arrive** trom)\nIndia by the Empress of India today, discussing the dissatisfaction in India, said:\n\"The spineless rule of the viceroy, Earl\nMinto, is at the bottom of tne trouble.\" '\n. He thinks they need a man Ilka Kitchener or Curzon, who will take no nonsense,\n\"'Minto is worse than an old woman,\" MM\nTyail. \"ror he ls afraid to move for fear\nsome one will take a shot at him. Only\nrecently he attended some big* function,\ninstead of driving up In state, with his\nwife and family, he sent them ahead and\nthen he came on behind In a motor car.,\nA man who does that sort of thing Is no\ngood tn India. There Ib no doubt that tha\ndissatisfaction Is attaining serious proportions. I\n\"It ls due in- the first place to the fact)\nthat so many have been educated for tho\nprofessions and then there Is nothing fon\nthem to do. They -blame the government\nfor not giving them employment, and he-\ncause they have nothing better with which\nto employ their time they commence agitating. The viceroy has adopted the policy*\nof ignoring the trouble. When the people\nhurled stones at his motor car he took no\nnotice of It. The result has been that tlio\nagitators have pursued their calling wit\"*\nimpunity.\"\nAWFUL ACCIDENT\nTO HELPLESS INVALID\nCrushed to Death by  Elevator While\nBeing Wheeled From Hospital\nOperating  Room j\nNEW YORK, Maroh 18\u2014Miss Anna\nForsell, who had just undergone an operation in the Seney hospital in Brooklyn, was crushed to death last night\nwhite being carried from an operating\ncase ln the elevator from the basement\nto the first \"floor ofl the building.

LAURENT CADIBUX.\nEven the doctors are recommending\n\"Fruit-a-tives\". They realize now\nthat these wonderful fruit juice tablets\nwill positively cure all Stomach\nTroubles, Indigestion and Dyspepsia\u2014\nand they are using '-Fruit-a-tives\" in\ntheir practice.\nFew people realize the vital Importance of keeping their blood pure.\nImpure blood is the chief cause of\nStomach Trouble, because it is from\nthe blood that the stomach obtains the fluid which digests food. When the blood\nis laden with impurities, the disolving fluid (or Gastric Juice) will be impure.\nThese impurities may come from a con-zested liver, from Constipation, from weak\nkidneys, from an inactive skin, or from all four. Naturally, the ordinary\n'-digestive powders\" and \"pepsin tablets\" will not cure the trouble, because they\nonly help to dissolve the food\u2014they do not go to the teat of the trouble. \"Fruit-\na-tivet\" is the neatest remedy ever discovered for all forms of Indigestion.\nDyspepsia and other Stomach Disorders, because \"Fruit-a-tives\" is unequalled as\na blood-purifying medicine. \"Fruit-a-tives\" acts directly on the liver, regulates\nthe bowels, strengthens the kidneys, stimulates the skin, and thus rids the whole\nsystem of all impurities. \"Fruit-a-tives\" will positively cure you of any kind of\nIndigestion. \"Fruit-a-tives\" is sold by all dealers at 50c s box, 6 for 12.50 or\ntrial size, 25c. If you are unable to obtain \"Fruit-a-tives\" conveniently, do not\naccept substitutes but send to \"Fruit-a-tives\" Limited, Ottawa and the regular\nsize packages will be mailed you, postpaid, on receipt of price.\nMDZ LAURENT CADIEUX\nRIOT IN  REICHSTAG\nConservative  Agrarian  Cause   of Another Uproar\nBERLIN, Maroh IS\u2014Herr von Oldenburg Conservative Agrarian .who on\nJan. 29 almost precipitated a riot in the\nrelchstag when lie declared that the\nEmperor bad the right at any time to\norder a lieutenant and ten men to close\nthe chamber, stirred up things again\nyesterday.\nGen.

He might have\ngone further and investigated the ef-\nect of single words upon the current\nof events and tbe business of communities.\nWhen the union of Scotland and England was enacted the intention\u2014as\nmight be shown by the speeches, Journals and literature of that day\u2014was\nthat the two countries should henceforth be one; that the people of both\nshould regard themselevea as one nationality; that they should speak of\ntheir country not as Scotland or England but as Britain, and of themselves\nnot as Scots or English but as Britons.\n\"Britain\" and \"Briton,\" however\nseemed not to be taking combinations\nof sounds or perhaps the old names\nwere too dear; and when the union\nwith Ireland brought the long and\ncumbrous title \"Great Britain and\nIreland\" as the designation of tbe Kingdom, there was no national title that\ncould be used In common by residents\nof every part of the union. .So men\ncontinued to speak of themselves as\nScotsmen, Engllsmen and Irishmen.\nThe use of a single designation in\ncommon would have encouraged a\nsense of common national Identity; the\nuse of separate designations fostered a\nsense of separate nationality. In British North America, the use of the single word \"Canadian\" applied to residents in every part of the confederation, has fostered a sense of common\nnationality. The Frenchman ot Quebec, the Nova Scotian the Albertan, are\nall Canadians, have all one country,\u2014\nCanada. The political union between\nScotland and England is complete and\nhas been In existence for two hundred\nyears; there is not even provincial autonomy in provincial affairs. In race\nand religion the Scot Is closer to the\nEnglishman than the Quebec man and\nthe Manltoban. Yet the former think\nof themselves as of separate nationalities,\u2014as Scots and Englishmen, while\nthe latter think of themselves as Canadians and feel the tie of a common nationality. \u2014\u2014-\nIn a similar way a sense, not Indeed\nof nationality but yet of identity of Interests has been brought home to the\npeople of that part of Ontario lying\nbetween Lake Superior and the Lake of\nthe Woods, from the giving of a distinctive name,\u2014\"New Ontario,\"\u2014to\nthat region; and this has led to united\naction for their, common benefit It has\nbrought the sentiment of a common\nlocal patriotism to the help of such action as a broad-minded regard for tlielr\ncommon welfare would dictate. So too\nwith the Prairie and the Coast,\nHere, in the southern Kootenajfe and\nthe Boundary country we have a territory which bas no name in common\nbut. which has a similar climate, similar industries and identical Interests in\na hundred exceedingly Important ways.\nWhen the C. P. R. line from tbe Crow's\nNest to the coast is completed, this\nidentity of interests and of geographical conditions will be'still more complete.\nWe are, so to speak, all citizens of\nthe south interior of British Columbia.\nIn geography, climate, industries and\ngeneral circumstances we are clearly\nmarked off from more northern districts and from the coast, U It the\nlack of a common geographical name\nthat hinders our perception of the iden\ntity of our Interests? Whatever the\ncause may be the fact is there. There\nIs not that recognition of our mutual\ninterdependence that there should be,\u2014\nnot that concerted, organized co-operation for the advancement of our interests' which we ought to have.\nA common sentiment of this sort, a\nsystematic co-operation, would not 'be\nsectional in the unhappy meaning of\nthat word. Rather should It lead on to\na fuller recognition of our citizenship\nas British Columbians. The man iwho\nIs a good citizen of ibis town ls likely\nto be a good citizen of his province and\ncountry. And the results of united action for the advancement of our mutual\nInterests would he Invaluable. There\nis hardly anything else at the present\nmoment that would be -more fruitful In\ngood results to the southern Kootenay\nand the Boundary.\nWORTH MENTION\nMore exciting issues at present\nobscure to same extent a very important drift at present-noticeable In British politkis. That is the tendency of\nthe Labour and Irish parties in the direction of Tariff Reform.\nTrade unionism to be consistent must\ngo in the direction of tarlfjfi protection\nfor the products of trades union labor\nagainst the products' of countries where\nlabour is -cheaper, hours longer and sanitary -conditions poorer. What Is the\ninevitable result of saying that certain\nwages must be paid in Great Britain,\nand yet that the same capitalists may\nplace the name goods on the same market, without having to'pay those wages,\nif only they will go to' *#o*me other country to make them?   :\nIreland again U 'becoming a country\nof small farmers owning their own land.\nEvery one of them Is Interested In having a tariff preference In the markets\nof the cities of Great Britain.\nFor the present the Labour party and\nthe Irish; 'party are more concerned ln\nother matters. They are working for\nthe iflree trade party In order ito get certain Labour measures 'and certain Irish\nmeasures to which the House of Lords\nIs an obstacle. But when these matters\nare disposed of, how long will their alliance with >tihe free traders last?\nEDITORIAL NOTE\nMr. IF. W. Walker will take with hlrm\nto Vancouver the best wishes of a host\nof friends he has made in Nelson and\ntheir full confidence that the ability he\nhas shown here will be equally recognized elsewhere.        i\nMINING I, KOOTENAY\nReason, for Expecting a Period of Expansion In Thlt Country\nFrom all aides coma indications of a\nprogressive year.\nThe annual review .of conditions ln\nthe province by the president of the\nVancouver board of trade it atnrayis\nlooked fonward to with -much interest\naa an authoritative pronouncement. In\nthe review published a Dew days ago\nwe read: \u00a3\nWett Kootenay and Boundary\nThe legal difficulties of'the Slocan\nStar mine being over that district will\nBhow renewed energy and various Boundary properties having been equipped\nwith improved power and machinery\nwe may hope that, .bar unforeseen\ndrawbacks 1910 will be a good mining\nyear. \u2022\nEatt Kootenay\nAa to the situation ln Bast Kootenay\nthe Cranbrook Herald says:\nCranbrook Herald: Business-men and\nin fact all residents of this district, In\nrelation to which Cranbrook Is a leading point, are looking forward to what\nls to 'be more than a, passing boom,\nnamely an extended period of prosperity, which will give an Impetus to the\nprogress ol the country and will bring\nit again Into world wide prominence.\nUp to date methods will make possible the handling of the Immense bod-\nlea of mineral laying in.watt tor men to\nuncover and convert Into commercial\nchannels, with heavy rewards both for\nthemselves and the locality of their operations.\nToday, other fields, being, If not exhausted, placed under the control of\ncorporations, the attention of mining\nmen Is diverted to other parts for the\nemployment of their ayatematloaUy. organised brains and capital. So with the\nalmost assured placing of Cranbrook\nupon a through Une of railway for\ncoast traffic, the attention of the whole\ncommercial world will be drawn' to\nwhatever natural resources U may pot-\nset and it Ilea within the scope of every\nbusiness man interested ln the future\nof Cranbrook to help, by placing before hia connections, business or otherwise, on: the outside, facts and figures\nof the wealth to toe drawn upon by this\ndistrict. ' lil\nBRITISH COLUMBIA   M\nFISH AND GAME\nProtective   Association   Organized   on\nthe Coast\u2014To encourage Co-opera-\n,      tlon of Sportsmen\nInspired by a desire to improve the\nhunting and fishing conditions in the\nprovince a number of Victoria Ntmrods\ngathered at the St Francis hotel this\nweek and organized the British Columbia Fish and Game Protective association. The objects aB outlined in the\nconstitution are to assist in the protection of fish and game ln British! Columbia and to promote and 'encourage\nfield sports and -good fellowship among\nsportsmen.\nBehind the announced objects of the\nassociation, however, is a desire to\namend the game acts with regard to\nfishing. Just at present tihe provincial\nGame act is ln statu quo, owing to a\nconflict ibetween the federal and provincial governments over the control of\nthe waters of the province, both claiming ithe right to make regulations for\nthem. The association -members 'believe\nthe province is the proper party to deal\nwith its fisheries and It hopes to be\nstrong enough some day to give weight\nto the claims of this (province to control\nits fisheries. The present Dominion act\nwhich is in force Is not suitable for\nvarious .parts of the province, the regu-\n-lations which may apply to tihe coast at\ncertain seasons not suiting the Inland\nwaters, and it Is to make an. act to fit\nthese local conditions that tlie association will lend its services. These officers were elected: President, 3. H. J.\nSaunders; vice-president H. G. Byrne;\nsecretary-treasurer. J. R. Turner; executive committee, D, Adamson. J. Farmer, H. Travis.

Like her among the\nyounger violinists of the day Mr. Hambourg among the younger piano virtuosi\nOccupies a very distinguished place.\nEver since his lirst public appearance\nas a young boy at Moscow in 1888, he\nhas steadily advanced In public estimation and now his extensive tours have\ngiven him a world-wide reputation. A\nRussian by birth and by training- he\nstands in what has In later times become an increasingly glorious musical\nsuccession. HIb appearance as he\nsteps on the platform recalls that of\nthe great Anton Rubinstein, and his\nbearing and manner throughout are\nremnlscent of the same master. He\nwas heartily welcomed by a select and\nappreciative, but hy no means too large\naudience. If Nelson desires to have\nthe greatest artists here, she will have\nto make It worth their while. It will\nbe easy for them to omit the city in\narranging their tours.\nThe opening Bach-Tauslg Toccata\nand Fugue at once revealed the presence of a master whose command of the\nkeyboard and breadth of style enable\nhim to Impart Interest to the most abstruse music and to set forth with perfect clearness ideas which are apt to\nremain obscure when presented by ordinary performers. This was followed by a rendering at once delightful\nand astonishing of the great Sonata\nAppassionata of Beethoven, itself a\ntouchstone of greatness In pianists, Mr.\nHambourg treated It throughout with\nhighly poetic feeling and with a dar-\nIng which made his rendering intensely\ninteresting. The fire and passion of\nthe opening Allegro Assal, the exquisite meditative pathos of the Andante\nCon Moto and the brilliant and moving\nappealingness of the closing movement, which was taken at great speed,\nwere all presented with remarkable accuracy and intelligibility and with a\npower of execution, which left nothing\nto be desired. At the close of this part\nof the program Mr. Hambourg was repeatedly recalled, and it was evident\nthat full sympathy was established between the audience and himself.\nIThe next part conveyed a revelation\nof the meaning of the works of Chopin\nthe inner beauty of which shone resplendent. The facility with which Mr.\nHambourg presented the series of\npieces almost concealed the technical\ndifficulties which have to be encountered in rendering therm. The audience\nfascinated' by Uie magic of composer\nand executant felt as If they could listen to their witchery for hours. Again\nand again recalled Mr. Hambourg gratified them witih a rendering of the Berceuse marked by infinite digital dexterity and by extreme delicacy of execution. The third part of the program involved a heavy strain on the muscular\nand nervous energy of the artist after\nall that had gone before, hut in spite\nof thia Mr. Hambourg achieved an additional triumph. The display o\u00a3 amazing\nexecution and tonal power in the Moskowskl Etude, was followed bv the -satisfying rendering of a charming Volkslled by himself and then came tiie\nfamiliar strains of Mendelssohn's \"Midsummer Night's Dream\" music as woven together in new combinations by\nthe fertile fancy and Inspiring executive genius of Llszl' Mr. Hambourg\"*\ngreat powers, were ifully equal to this\nundertaking and the audience listened\nenraptured. Repeatedly recalled at the\nclose he gave aa an encore Iischtticz-\nsky's La Source. No more could be de-\nimanded of his good nature, ibut it was\npleasant to learn that Mr. Hambourg\nhas discovered the presence ln the inadequate audience of many music lovers to whom he found It agreeable to\nplay, though he had been obliged to\nmeet, them nt the close of a long and\nfatiguing day's travel. It was also\npleasant to be Inrorme^that the beauty\nof the scenery of Kootenay lake had\nIn some measure compensated him for\nthe Inevitable tiresomeness of the long\njourney from Lethbrldge.\nThe pianoforte used was a Boudoir\nGrand of the Heintzman company, and\nThe great Baking Powder\nof the country\u2014\nused in millions of\nhomes\u2014never\nIdled\nFifty Yearm\nthe\nStandard\n~ Asaya Neurall*\nTHB   NEW   REMEDY   FOR\nNervous Exhaustion\nGrief and worry drain the nervous system with disheartening\nrapidity.

The land registry returns tor the past eight days show property to the value of $600,000 to have changed hands. On February 1st 11,000,000 worth of property was\ntransferred on that day alone. A flurry in Sapperton property has been noticed lately. A block of land\non Columbia street and adjacent to the Sapperton school was sold this morning for $16,000, H. 0. Major\nbeing one of the sellers. Workmen at present are engaged at Sapperton in erecting a $30,000 -meat packing plant for the Prince Rupert Meat company, and also a gang ate preparing a site for the factory of\nthe Western Canada Bag, Envelope & Boxboard company. The announcement has been made that a\npaper factory will be erected soon near the Fraser River Mills, by Messrs D.

They\nare still the greatest snap between tbe two cities at that price and before next .fall there will not be a\nlot in this neighborhood at less than $500 and probably $1000.\nThere is more actual development going on right in thiB district than in any other place outside the two\ncities and the prices of lots are the lowest. Before two months we believe everything will have doubled.\nThe municipality is spending $60,000 In streets through and around our subdivisions. The Canadian North*\nern will soon be building. The new B.C. Electric car line Is being rushed, manufacturing sites are being\nsecured almost daily, they will employ several thousand men.\nThere Is no other city In Canada with the population of Westminster where property Ib as low considering her wonderful natural resources and immediate prospects.

The\nfeature par excellence of the program was\na series of boxing bouts, which were\nfriendly, hut none the less fast and scientific Interspersed with the bouts was a\nmedley of other amusements, all first\nclasa, ' \u25a0 t*~*JM\nThe first bout was In the lightweight\nclass, when Percy Jolliffe and Hennlngs\nsquared away. It did not take Jolliffe\nlong to feel out his man, and after a few\ntap* he sailed In, though. keeping well\ncovered. The tlrst round was fairly keen,\nbut Hennlngs was clearly not In condition,\nand in the middle of. the second round he\ntouched Jolllffe's glove to signify that he\nyielded the honors. f\nThe next event was a fast go between\nheavyweights, If DesBrisay Is really over\nthat border Une. Tom DesBrisay and\nBilly Boyd -put up a sparkling argument,\nbut though Tom was pretty spry, Big Bill\nlet -his weight tell and hustted him around.\nThe bout was full of. fun, and the opponents never lost their grins, though\nthey exchanged some good ones. No decision was given.\nThe fastest and -best bout of the three\ncame at a late hour, when Frits Holland,\none of the beat ln the Kootenay, let loose\na multitude of fast ones at the smiling\nvisage of \"Plukie,\" otherwise Frank Greyerbiehl, the local boy, who took all that\nwas coming without batting an eye,- and\nshowered a few in return. Holland had\na nonchalent way of lounging forward\nand shooting home his glove from any old\nangle, and Flukle pretty nearly matched\nblow for blow. The bout was scheduled\nto go for three rounds, but three rounds\nlt went, ot fast and clever work, both\noffensive and defensive, and at the call\nof time the boys -were still smiling and\nwithout a serious mark.   \u25a0'\nFrank P. Nelden, the referee, had only\nagreeable duties to perform,\nW. R. .McLean presided over the smoker, and the balance of the program ap-\njxjaled to wide assortment of tastes in\nthe audience. Qeorge Gunn, the piper,\nblew the swelling bagpipes for several\nselections, and also skirled for George\nCrcigtiton, who gave a Scotch reel. A. G.\nGUmour, otherwise \"Paddy\" GUmour, gave\na number of excellent Imitations, including\none of Friend Gunn at the pipes. Mr,\nKrempeati gave several .auto-harp selections of great merit, and Mr. Swanson\nmade distant hits with hie songs, ln which\nhe accompanied himself, particularly lit\nthe case of the laughing song. J. H.\nHughes sang \"Sing Me to Sleep,\" and\n\"Red-Wings,\" to an appreciative audience,\nand Edward Grtsxelle wim s>*o a favoHf\nwith his songs.
