MONDAY MORNING, JANUARY 26, 1914\n50c PER MONTH.\nNO. 244\nLIBERAL LEADERS\nGIVE MESSES\nBrewster and Macdonald1\nSpeak at Opera House.\nFEATURE LAND\nPOLICY IN SPEECHES\nDeclare Speculators Have\nTaken Up Large Areas in\nProvince,\nH. C. Brewster, leader of the Liberal\nparty In British Columbia, and M. A.\nMucdonald, president of the Provincial\nLiberal association, on Saturday evening ^dressed a meeting in the opera\nhofise, devoting their remarks largely\nto a condemnation of the' provincial\ngovernment for its land policy.\nDr. N; Wolverton, .who was in the\nchair. In opening Uie meeting, said that\nsome day there would be a general\n- provincial election.'.'He did not know\nwhen this.would take place, but be\neould give the people a hint*\" which\nwould enable them to make a very good\nguess. The present government of\nBritish, Columbia, that was to say,\nPremier McBride and Hon. w. J.\nBowser, who were the whole cheese\nthat went with the political pie, knew,\nthat there was a steady trend of public\nsentiment in the province away from\nthem. They were watching It closely\nand when they thought it, would be\ndangerous to wait any longer they\nwould bring on a general election;\n-'One'great safeguard, he said, was a\nstrong and watchful opposition In the\nlegislature or parliament. Without\nthat safeguard d. democratic Institution could not possibly be a success.\nThe result, without such an opposition,\nto watch, criticize and call the gcvern-\nment to account, Inevitably tended to\npower gravitating to one, or two, or\nthree hands,' to one, or two, or three\nmen - becoming the government of the\ncountry. That was precisely the condition In British Columbia today. The\nConservative party was supposed to be\nin power, but he thought the audience\nwould agree , that tho. Conservative\nparty did'not govern British Columbia,\nthat the province was ruled by one, or\nttvo, or three men who had gathered\nthe reins of government into their\nhands. If the Conservatives who held\nseats in the house really governed the\nprovince the government would be a\nmighty sight better government than\nIt was today, he declared.\nHe paid a tribute, to Mr. Brewster\n\u2022 and'said that he was not in parliament\ntoday because the supreme power of\nthe government had been almost exhausted to keep him out of the house.\nHe had been told that it had cost tbe\n\u25a0 Conservatives, the government, ?400\nper vote to keep Mr. Brewster out of\nthe' legislature.\nAt the opening of his address, Mr.\nBrewster suid that ho was not hero to\ncreate partisan feeling in anyone's\nbreast. He was here because the Liberals believed that the party ln power\nwas so administering thc affairs of the\npre vines thnt It was running toward\nthe breakers. Life-long Conservatives\nhnd decided that it was time for a\nchange, he said.\nHe asked if the province could have\nany permanent success; if It could build\nup any permanent prosperity without\ndeveloping the land'that was capable\nyj,,of producing . foodstuffs. British\n- Columbia' had many great natural re-\n\u25a0 sources, but the fisheries, mines and\ntimber were producing wealth to send\nout of the province for foodstuffs which\nwere imported.\nAllowed Agents to Stake\nThe government came into power In\nllJQiT with an enipty treasury and It was\nempty again. In 1907 the Land act,\nwhich provided that no one man could\npurchase from the government more\nthan, one square mile, of 640 acres of\nland, was amended so that agents could\nhe allowed to stake land. Agents then\nsecured power of attorney from people\nwho lived In cities and* had no intention\nof living on the land nnd went into the\nnorth of the province and staked large\nareas for. syndicates in other people's\nnames. A \u25a0 tremendous alienation of\nland had taken place in this way. In\nthree years 144 syndicates or Individuals had taken up 1,284,728 acres of\nland. These figures did not take into\naccount those who staked less than\n10,000 acreB; they covered thoBe who\nsecured between 11-000 and 12,000 acres.\nEigbtee-Q of these people had staked\nmore than 25,000 acres, three over\n60,000 acres and 67 over 16,000\"acres.\nPrnctlcally all of this land, said Mr.\nBrewster, was along the lines of the\nGrand Trunk Pacific and Pacific Great\nEastern railways and had been locked\nup for the benefit of the speculators.\nThe government had said that It was\nnecessary to raise money for public\nworks, yet for the five or six.million\nacres which had been sold up to 1913\nthe amount received was $7,110,998,\nwhile over 112,000,000-was outstanding.\nIf the figures were examined, said Mr.\nBrewster, it would be seen that the\nbulk of this land, which he declared\nhud been given to the favored few,\nhad been sold as second class land.\nHon. W. J. Bowser had said that the\nJ\u2014 Liberal speakers had not taken into\naccount tHe 4 per cent, tax on wild\nland which could be'collected as a\nresult of the sales, but, said Mr.\nBrewster, the favored few had been\npermitted to avoid the payment of this\ntax.

Otis, of New\nYork, had been ln Colombia for two\nyears prospecting for oil, and derfotinc-\ned largo tmets of land in various\nstates through Colombian agents and\nunder Colombia laws; but the titles\nhave not yet been perfected by gov-'\nernment recognition ofl the denouncements.\nLord Murray persuaded' Dr. Aurajo,\nColombian minister of public works,\nto issue the necessary denouncements,\nthus killing tho rights of ail those\nwhose titles were not yet completed\nby government recognition. Immediately afterward, Lord Murray's concession was signed by Dr. Aurajo.\nA letter signed by Lord Murray\nspeaks of the large sums expended In\nColombia, but does not give any details. Tlie repeal of the law by Dri\nAurajo gave Lord Murray a right to\nsearch In the Colombian archives, enabling the Englishman to take advantage of the record and the results\nof two years' investigation conducted\nby Messrs. Thompson and Otis, and to\nseize under the concession all the valuable ground the Colombia syndicate\ndiscovered.\nMessrs. Thomas & Otis hurried to\nBogota and started a plan to balk\nLord Murray, the result of which was\nL,ord Murray's concession failed of\napproval, while the Colombians became bitterly antagonistic toivardt\nLord Murray's scheme to make Colombia not merely an appendage of'Great\nBritain but to put the country In the\npocket of a private corporation, namely Pearson's. Thompson ft Otis con-'\ntintted their campaign through South \u25a0\nand Central America, killing his efforts everywhere, and Lord Murray re-1\nturned totally unsuccessful, beaten fn\nall five of the countries he visited.\nMeanwhile Dr. Aurajo signed his repeal of the old law and the titles of\nthe Thompson-Otis syndicate were\ncompleted by government recognition,\nwhile the Colombian congress passe*\na new law confining all rights In oil\nand mineral lands to citizens of thQ\nrepublic of Colombia,\nJ\n ' PAGE TWO\nCIjc 3to(l}>Jlttofi\nMONDAY JANUARY H\nGood Books 2\u2122 $1.00\nINCLUDES SOME OF THE FINEST WORK OF THE MOST FAMOUS\nLIVING NOVELISTS\u2014HANDSOMELY BOUND IN CLOTH\nThe Mother Eden Phtllpotte\nMr. Wingrave, Millionaire ., E.

Considering the fact thai\nthis is the first year of existence of\ntlie Kootenay River Farmers' institute\nand taking into account the fact that\nthe district covered, though a large\none, is very thinly settled, except In\nthe villages, these figures were considered satisfactory. During the first\nyear the secretary reports that powder and mixed cars of flour and feed\nto the extent of over $2,000 had been\npurchased and distributed to members, while another car of feed is now\non the way to South Slocan for the\nsame purpose.\nSeven meetings were held during the\nyear for various purposes and were\nsometimes well attended, but as it\nwas necessary to hold these meetings\nIn the evening the length of the district and the poor train service at\nnight militated against a good attendance; also the state of the roads east\nof Bonnington was such that members\ncoming from Taghum or Beasley by\nroad would be obliged to walk. This\nresulted In few members from those\npoints being present at any time,\nJohn Kay was chosen as delegate\nto represent the institute at the annual convention at Victoria. During\nthe meeting he was accorded 15 minutes in which to speak and entertained\nhis audience with a spirited speech\non Institutes, past and present, this\nparticular Institute, with occasional\ndigressions Into politics nnd other matters relating to the general weal. He\nwas received with loud applause.\nA motion was brought forward that\nthe Institute hold regular monthly general meetings, but an umen-dment to\nthis suggested that these meetings be\nheld quarterly, on the first Saturday\niu each Quarter, viz., on the first Saturday in April, the first Saturday in\nJuly and the first Saturday In October. After discussion the amendment\nwas carried and meetings will henceforth be held quarterly, with such directors' and special meetings as the\nbusiness of the institute may require,\nOn motion by Mr. Power, seconded by\nMr, Kay, the officers of 1913 were reelected to their offices with the exception of Glynn Morris, whose absence in Rossland has caused the appointment of J. D. Yeatman of South\nSlocan in his place. The board, accordingly stands as follows: President, Colllngwood Gray, Bonnington;\nvice-president, James M. Shepley,\nShoreucres; secretary-treasurer, G. C.\nilocltfort; directors, John Kay, Tag-\nhum; J.'D. Yeatman, South Slocan;\nThomas Wheildon, South Slocan; J.\n(Ireenway, Crescent Valley; D. Morrison, Thrums; auditors, Arthur W.\nDill, Shoreacres; Talbot H. Negus,\nSlioreacres.\nOn motion by Mr. Whelldon, seconded by Mr. Shepley, the secretary was\nlire.cted to place himself In communication with the local superintendent\nof tho Canadian Pacific railway at Nelson with a view to seeing what could\nlie done In the special interests of the\nfarmers shipping produce, to induce\nthe Canadian Pacific railway\nlengthen the platform at South Slocan\nso a to meet the spur recently built\nfrom the government road for that\npurpose, and fie as to enable ranchers\nand others shipping to drive right\nalongside the platform and deliver\ntheir goods instead of being obliged\neither to carry each package or sack\nbout 20 yards or to go around by the\nbill and b^ck onto the platform abreast\nthe station.\nA list of names was produced by\nthe president sufficient to form an\napple packing class this winter and\nthe secretary was instructed to forward the same to the proper quarter\nwith a view to having an Instructor\nsent to hold the class at the Junction.\nFERNIE NOTES\nSHOEMAKER LOST\nON CANAL FLATS\nCSpeclal to Tho Da'ip News.*\nFERNIE, B.

The number of\nattle reported In 1890 was equal to\n(;\u25a0* per cent of the population at that\nime. Iu 1310 this comparative per-\nlentage had decreased to not more\nAn 75 per cent.\nI,The great western cattle range?\nt other days \" are waste land no\nonger. Tillage has hampered the\nbeef Industry. Immigration and west-\nward trekking of young men brought\nup in the more populous portions of\n\u25a0ihe country have pushed hack the\nTfrontlere of civilization, until there\ni no longer any ranging land. While\nome experts believe that the raising\nbf cattle as an agricultural by-pro\n[duct is likely In these new-settled districts, the authors of the Study we\nliave mentioned are Inclined to the\nbelief that dairying Is more probable\ni Further, the growth of population\nthe. west makes a great home\nfyarket for whatever cattle may be\nalsed In that district. For these rea\nfcons 'the authors consider that the\neastward shipments which have been\nBiade daily for years past are likely\nIto grow smaller and smaller, and per-\nBiaps in time may cease altogether\nThe time may come when the United\nStates must import Its beef from over\npeas, or elso bo more frugal in its con\npump tion.\nCanada has the same problem, sayi\njhe Toronto Nows, The ranges of AI\nlierta are rapidly being enclose'.! b;\nbe settlers' wire fences. The newest.\nireatest west, the Peace river district,\nilready Is attracting settlers In large\nbumbers. If our population continue**\n|0 grow at the present rapid rate the\ntime will soon come when the production of beef cattle ou a great scale\nmust cease for lack of pasturage. We\nomplaln of the price ot meat, and\n|pet the law of supply and demand\nmust operate in spite of our com-\nblaints. A scarcity has already de-\njjared Itself and the future Ib no'\nbromislng.\nMONEY TALKS.\nI* Every little while, some man of\n(realth writes an article in a magazine\njO&ittug out how foolish people are to\niay bo much attention as they do to\nnouey. Yet we are all constantly\nfinding out how easy It Ib to succeed\na life If you r.have money, and con-\n\u25a0versely, how hard it la to get along\nwithout- money, says tb0 Montreal\n|Dafly Mall.\nThere Is no use beating about the\nbush. Money Is an Important factor in\nsuccess today. The parent who allows\nbis son to grow up without placing a\ncorrect estimate upon the value of\nmoney does the young man an Injury. We have got to place an estimate, and a high estimate, upon the\nvalue of money. There Is no use blinking the facts. It Is an injustice to brtn,*\nup children for an Idealistic existence:\nwe have got to prepare them for a life\nwhich, however we may deplore it.\nis the one they will have to go through.\nMany a young man is brought up to\ndisregard money for fear he will become a money-grabber. Often his first\nlesson in the value of money comes\nwhen he goes to speak to the father\nof the young lady whom he wishes to\nmarry. Then, too late, he finds out\nwhat money means. He obtains the\nlesson ln such a way that ho may well\nImagine money to be the key to fulfillment of tils dearest desires. Then\nhe becomes an ardent money grabber.\nMoney Is the root of moat evil. Lack\nof money ls the root of a good bit\nor evil also. The man who desires success and comfort, and security from\nmisfortune, must have money. Money\nIs so important today that no man\ncan afford to disregard It, as we are\nsometimes told to do. About half of\nwhat ono hears regarding money today is simply deceitful and misleading, If unintentionally so. The duty\nof those who havo found out by hard\nexperience what money means Is to\ntell those who do not know the truth\nand not to deceive them with high-\nsounding phrases about the futility of\ncounting money as Important. Today\nthe man who goes through life In business without acquiring a fair sum of\nmoney exerts influence through a limited sphere.\nRudyard Kipling addressed the students at McGHl university a few years\nago and told them .how really unimportant money-making counted in life.\nIf Kipling were as much a practical\nman.as he is a literary genius, he\nwould never have glve such shortsighted advice. The men who are willing to go through life disregarding\nmoney are few; those who can do so\nare still more rare. In the battle of life\nmoney is a two-edged sword, and those\nwho are careless as to whether they\npossess It or not, are taking desperate\nchances. The world must grow a great\ndeal better than It Ib before such advice regarding money as some Idealists\ngive out with a lavish hand becomes\nanything but a delusion.\nWe recall that when the penny\nbank system was first proposed for the\ncommon schools in Canada a great cry\narose that it would make the children\nmaterialistic and mercenary. Yet the\nByBtem was Introduced, and. It .has\ndone good. It has made the children\nthrifty. It haB become a useful part\nof their preparation for life, for they\nare not going to live In Utopia. They\nare going to live in a land where every\nlittle dollar haB a meaning all its own.\n$-^:$4*4'<-5->\u00a7*H>-\u00ae^^\n* WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING *\nOvereating\nUndoubtedly many ea-i Urn much (\"id\nwould be better with two meals tha.ii\nthree, but it is a question for Individual adjustment, not by appetvte but by\nneed.

( \u2014Ground Frozen\n(By Dally News Leased Wire.) -\nOTTAWA, Jan. 25.\u2014The railway\ncommission has issued an-order dealing In a general way with the question cf the fencing af the lines \u25a0 of\nthe Canadian Pacific railway. In British Columbia, but referring more particularly to a section of the road in the\nvicinity of Savona.\nsioner ityayion, \t\n\"It appears that acting upon' tho\nprovisions of the amendment made to\ntho Railway act in 1911, an application .was made by the railway; company' for an order of the board excusing, fencing at a large number of\npoints along the line of railway in\nBritish Columbia.\n\"ft is beyond all question that at\nmany points in British' Columbia\nfences .would merely bo a waste of\nmoney, 'particularly in the sections\nwhich are largely covered by the application, where the line is built along\nthe .Thompson and Fraser rivers on\nthe one, side and there are'mountains\nand, blbffs on the other,side.\n\"The;fact of the necessity of fencing having been called to the board's\nattention, order No. 20,893 was Issued,\nThis order required the company to\nerect and,-maintain fences and direct\ned the,work to be completed within\nthree months, and also rescinded'the\norder relieving ' the company from\nerecting and maintaining fences in so\nfar. as that portion of its railway be\ntween Savona and Ponnys was con\ncerned.\n\"Application Is now made by the\nCanadian Pacific railway for an ex\ntension of time for the reason that (lie\nground Is frozen at thc present time,\nand asking that an extension should\nbe given until June 16 next. There\nbeing tho necessity to fence, the\nformer order should not have been\nmade In so far as this particular part\nof the railway Is concerned. The\nformer order having' been rescinded,\ntho company's statutory obligation\narises. This statutory obligation is\nnot an obligation which should\nmade subject to relief by temporary\nextension, under these circumstances,\nas an extension of the time within\nwhich the fences arc to be erected\nmight be construed as relieving the\ncompany from its statutory obligation\nduring the extended period for fence\nconstruction. As thc company's liability to fence is not under the board's\norder, but Is under the statute, in my\nview, this should not be done. On\ntho other hand, the engineer reports\nthnt the request, owing to frost, Is\nreasonable nnd that an extension\nshould be granted.\n\"Under these circumstances, It seems\nto mo that the proper thing to be\ndone is to issue an amending order\nthe effect of which would bo to strike\nout the board's direction that fences\nbe erected and maintained on the railway between Savona and Penny's and\nthat the work would be completed\nwithin thrco months and simply to\ncancel the former order relieving the\ncompany from erecting and maintaining fences along the portion of its\nline, In so far as that portion of its\nline between Savona and Pennys Is\nconcerned, The effect of (his will be\nthat the company cannot be said to\nbo in default in connection with the\nconstruction directed by the board, but\nwill leave the company liable for\nclaims otherwise recoverable brought\nagainst the company in respect of\ncattio killed on this section of the\ntrack.\njTHE\nWORKWOMAN'S !
