The opponents of the Liberal party\nbad prophesied lhat Great Brit-\nian would never revoke her commercial treaties with Belgium\nand Germany iu order to allow\nSir Wilfrid's policy of preferential duties within the Empire to\ngo into effect. But these treaties\nhad been denounced, and Canada\nwas given a free hand (applauso).\nAll other countries were to be\nallowed to take advantage of the\nlow duties which Great Britain\nnow enjoyed with us, but they\nmust first give us corresponding\nadvantages in their markets.\nWas not this a direct step in\nfavor of free trade the world\nover? It was, the speaker be-\nnot given to making promises,\nbecause il was ofteu difficult tn\ncarry them out, but he saw the\nnecessity of keeping up the navigation fur as long a period as\npossible each year, and he would\nrepresent tlie matter in lhe Minister of public works so as In\nImve Hie Governmont.Engineor\ngo nver llie river Iliis year and\nmake uu estimate of the work\nnecessary, lie hoped llial it\nwould not prove Ion costly, and\nllial they would gel Hie Improvements Ihey were looking for.\nIn concluding Mr. Bostock said\nthat in Canada the Canadians\nhad a splendid holitage, and he\nadvised those Americans who\nhad como in here to live to become citizens of the country so\nthat they would be able to exercise the electoral franchise and\ntake a part in the direction of\nthe affairs of the nation (loud\napplause).\nHe then stated that he was\nready to reply to any questions\non political topics that might be\nasked, but none being made, the\nmeeting closed with a vote of\ntlianks to Mr. Bostock, movud\nby Dr. Watt, and seconded by\nJ. A. Harvey.\nCROW'S NEST MATTERS.\nChief Engineer Lumsden informed the Phospectob that in\nabout six weeks' time contracts\nwould be le.t for a great deal of\nwimk on the C. N. Railway al\nMoyie Lake and other places.\nThe work will be vigorously\nprosecuted all winter, and everything will he forwarded as far as\nlieved, the longest step forward j possible s0 ,|s ,\u201e occasion no d,\nlhat had been taken since thc\ndays of Cobdeti and Bright (applause).\nTlie Craw's Nest Railway was\nperhaps the most Important matter, at least as regards this constituency, which tlie new Liberal\nGovernment had to deal with.\nThe Conservatives said during\nthe election campaign that if Hie\nLiberals were returned to power\nthere would be no chance of having that railway built. Bul lhis,\nlike all others of the predictions\nof evil that was to follow if the\nLiberals got into power, had\nbeen abundantly shown to be\nuntrue. The railway will bo\nbuilt to Fort Steele within a few\nmonihs (loud cheers), and built\nunder such favorable conditions\nthat the Gvernnient are empowered to control the passenger\nand freight rates in the interests\nof the people (renewed cheering). Tlie Liberal party was a\nparly of action, not of words or\nof promises made to be broken.\nIn the past it hud been charged\nthat the C. P. Railway Company\nhad controlled the Dominion\nGovernment. That charge could\nno longer be made, for the Government were now iii absolute\ncontra if their whole functions.\nIn the case of tbe coal lands of\nthe Crow's Nest lhe Government\nhad taken such action as would\nprevent any possible monopoly,\nbecause Ihey kept control of the\nprice that should be charged for\ncoal (applause). These achievements were, lie believed, but lhe\nentering of the thin edge of the\nwedge by llie Government to obtain control of railways everywhere and their operation in Hie\ninterests of the people, In the\npast the practice had been to\ngive Hie country's resources\naway lo individuals. That prac-1\nlice was lo be changed; the Gov- j\nernmonl hereafter would keep\nthorn and administer them in Ihej\ngeneral interests (loud applause).\nlay in getting forward Willi tlie\ntraeklaying in lhe spring. They\nhad had an unexpected difficulty\niu getting in their supplies, but\nthe tote road through from the\nPass would be completed next\nweek', and they would bring in\ntheir supplies from the end of\nthe truck over that road. The\nGolden route was too expensive.\nM. J.

J. A. Finch, the West\nKootenay mining man, recently\nsaid to a Spokesman-Review reporter: \"Tho exchange iiuota-\ntion is the real price. The brokers have got together and tixeil\nup a method of naming a 'brokers' price,' which is really no\nprice at all. If you ask a broker\nabout it he will lell you it is the\nprice for a largo quantity. If\nyou offer to buy at that price he\nwill tell you it is not the carload\nfigure, but the price for large\nlots, and if lie is pinned down\nclosely he will refuse to sell at\nlho price quoted. The exchange\nprice tells the true state of the\nmarket,\"\n,). li. MoArlhor, in the Kalso\nKootenaian, commenting on the\nabove, says: \"The discrepancy\nbetween the broker's price and\nthe exchange price now is nearly $10 per ton. The smelters\npay the mine owner for his lead\non the basis of the broker's\nprice, which, according to Mr.\nFinch is a \"fake\" price. In view\nof the increasing price for lead\nand its lessened production it\nseems to me the time has arrived\nwhen the mine owners of West\nKootenay ought to get together\nand insist that in all contracts\nmade for their ores the 'exchange' price for lead should\ngovern and not the 'brokers'\nprice. And while they are on\nthe subject of revision the deductions of 10 per cent on lead\nand 5 per cent on silver for\nsmelting should be adjusted t.\nthe new conditions. Many years\nago, when these deductions were\nfixed upon, these percentages\nrepresented actually the loss\nsustained. Since then, however,\nowing to Improved machinery\nand methods used in .smelting,\nthe loss on lead is oven less than\n5 per cent and for silver less\nthan _\u2022! per cent, but the mine\nowner gets no benefit from these\nImprovements in smelting. Why\nshould he pay for a loss which\nis not iu truth and iu fact a loss\nat all? England is now a buyer\non our market for our silver-lead\nores and is offering us oxcood-\nly good terms, Why would not\nthis be a very favorable time to\nconsider' -and settle these matter's? ' The mine owner alone\nshould not bear the loss in all\nthese things as well as the decreased price in silver.\"\nTwo Pilot Bay men were recently prospecting on Crawford\nj Creek, about four miles from\nCrawford Bay, they came in contact with a large cinnamon bear.\nOne of the men mado for a tree,\nthe bear followed and caught\nhim by the log and inflicted a\nsuvoro wound. The other used\nhis pick oil the hoar's neck, hut\nwithout any serious harm to old\nbruin, who turned ou him, and a\nbadly lacerated arm was the result, The man and bear rolled\nover two or three times in thn\nstruggle win .\u25a0 the hitler took\nfriglii and mane for the woods.\nREAD.\nTHIS riiimi'iix-'Ton.

Buillio,\nsecretary, T, McNiuight, of llie\nGolden Miner also was presenl.\nTbe chairman, on behalf of llie\ndelegation, statod lo Mr. Bos-\ntoeli llllll llie Board of Trade of\nPort Sleele was particularly\npleased lo meet ibe represomu-\nlive of iiie constituency in (be\nDominion Parliament, bocauso\nthere were sevoral matters of\ngreal importance lo ibe distrlel\nlo which thoy desired to cull bis\nattention and would ask him lo\ngive liis valuable assistance iu\nbringing thum before tlie proper\naulliiiriliesal Ottawa. Pirsl as lo\nrailway MA-TliltS,\nbo would ask Win. Baillio,\nsecretary of tbe Hoard, who had\ngiven tbe subject bis particular\nattention, lo explain llio situation,\nMr. Baillio produced ii fillip of\ntlie district showing tbe present\nsurveyed line of the railway, ll\npassed Port Steele al a distance\nlive o\" six miles, which Ibe company intended lo cover with a\nbranch line. An examination of\nllie grounds showed, in riling\nlo men who undorstood surveying, llial llie line could be\nbrouglii directly inlo Purl\nSleele. or al leasl lo within a\nmile of it, by diverting il over a\ncountry llial would afford an\nequally easy gradient lo the one\nllial bad been obtained by llie\npresent preliminary survey and\nllial would avoid a greal deal of\ndifficulty and expensive roek\nwork. This divergence of Hie\nline, it was estimated, would not\nlengthen il more than four miles\nund altogether would In- to tlie\nadvantage of both railway and\npublic. He believed llie railway\neonipuuy would bo favorable lo\nmaking the deviation of tbe line\nin order to avoid building tlie\nbranch as well as tbe more efficiently lo furnish all possible\nfacilities for handling tbe large\noutput of ore which would be\nshipped from this point. What\nwas needed was llial the Government and railway authorities\nshould be made lully alive lo all\nthe advantages that would bo obtained by bringing Ibe line directly to this city. The survey\ntliat bad been made was nol the\nlocation survey, but only tbe\npreliminary one whicli might be\nchanged at any time, and lhe\nboard desired Mr. Bostock lo\nlook into the matter und if he\nagreed with the Port Steele people regarding it, lo urge upon\nllie proper authorities thai llie\nchange be made.\nUr. Walt said the proposed\ndiversion would interfere with\nno existing vested interests, and\nas the railway was being built\nlargely by lhe people's money\nfur the purpose of developing\nIbe mineral resources of Hast\nand West Kootenay, ibis small\niiierease in III.) length of (bis line\nwas a proper and reasonable\ntiling lo ask for and insist upon\nMr. Clttlbralth, Mr. MeVittlo,\nand ol lull's spoke ou lliu subject,\nall agreeing Ihal the construction of the line directly inlo Port\nSteele is whal was desirable in\ntlie intoro_ts of the country.\n.Mr. linstock suid lie fell himself much iuleresled ill Ibe mat-\ntor, lie would pursue bis personal investigations inlo tbe\nsubject as fur as he could during\nhis present slay in the district,\nand would give lhe mosl favorable attention to it.\nUtVEH IMPIIOVEMENTS,\nVarious members of llie delegation sel forth the necessity of\nimproving the conditions for\nnavigation on Kootenay River\nso as to lengthen the period\neach year during which thai\nstream was available as a means\nof transportation. The building\nof the railway next year would\nincrease the demand for these\nimprovements.
