C THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1903\nNO. 129\nTHI LIBERAL\nVictoria Convention Was a\nGreat Success\nSome Details of the Local\nPlatform\n[Special to The Dally News.]\nVictoria, Sept. 16\u2014What ls regarded\nas the best libernl convention ever held\nln this city took place last night, when\na splendid ticket was put in the field\nfor the forthcoming elections.\nThe A.O.U.W. hall was orowdel,\nstanding room being at a premium on\nthe lower floor, and the galleries also\nbeing full. Tbe utmost harmony prevailed, and the entire results were in\nmarked contrast with the bitterness displayed in the conservative convention on\nthe previous evening. There were between four and five hundred voters present. John Piercy, president of the association, was in tbe chair, and prior to\nthe selection of the candidates tbo electoral address, embodying the principle\nfor which tbe association nnd the candidates stood, were submitted and\npassed without a dissenting voice.\nOn the first ballot, K. L. Drury and\nAlderman Cameron were chosen, the\nformer receiving 345, and Cameron 328.\nTbe next sbigbest was J. W. McNiven,\nwho polled 184, and Richard Hall, who\npolled 1C4. The remainder of the\nvotes were scattered among Major\nNienoll and C. H. Lugrin, Colonel Gregory, R. T. Billot, and W. F. Fullerton.\nMcNiven secured the nomination on the\nnext ballot, and the others dropping\nout, Hall captured the remaining place\nafter a close run with Fullerton.\nThe result was then declared unanimous, rousing speeches being made by\nall those in nomination, in which they\ndeclared they would work for the election of the ticket which hnd beeu\nselected. Drury, whose almost phenomenal development ln the campaign of\n1900 gave him an unique standing ln\nthe party and city, is regarded as a sure\nwinner, as is also aldermau Cameron,\nwho Is a municipal veteran, Wsiose position iu his ward has always been nt\nthe head of the poll. He is also a\ngood speaker. McNiven is a prominent member of the trades and labor\ncouncil, being one of tbe moderate and\nconservative trades unionists, whose\npolicy in industrial trouble has always\nbeen conciliatory. The conservatives\nturned down tho labor man, who wos\noffered on their ticket by a few votes,\nand as the straight labor people have\nno ticket, McNiven is expected to poll\na heavy support from that class among\nwhom she stands high.\nThe platform adopted endorses Laurier, the Grand Trunk Pacific, steps\ntaken to prevent tho immigration of\norientals, and the bounty given to the\nlead Industry.\nDuring the evening a long telegram\nwas received from Senator Temp.eman,\nIn which he prediotcd victory for the\nliberals because of the personnel of the\ncandidates and the attitude of the McBride' government to the Grand Trunk\nPacific.\nThe platform also declared for civil\nservice reform, reducing the number of\nofficials to the number required for\nbusiness, and making length of service\nand efficiency tbe basis of promotion.\nIt also called for fiscal reform, reorganization of land administration, reform of agricultural department     by\naiding irrigation and insuring aid to\nI *     actual settlors.\nIt also advocates placing the construction and repairing of roads under\nthe control of the local authorities, and\nthe making of provision for the preservation of game and fish, making provision for higher and technical education, adoption of a standard scries of\nschool text books, and their sale at\ncost, and the setting apart of school\nlands to provide school revenue ln future. The platform insists on limiting aid to railways, and declares Tor\ngovernment ownership of public Utlli-\ntiees, whenever practicable, and suggests the establishment of a bureau of\nlabor, and other provision for preventing strikes.\ni ln conclusion, it declares adherence\nto the fundamental liberal principles\nof provincial rights and responsible\ngovernment.\nAll the candidates have signed the\naddress.     An active campaign will bo\nat once instituted, and the ticket scs-\nected ls suoh an excellent ono tbat the\nlllberals today are jubilant over   the\n{prospects.\nA CORRECTED DESPATCH.\nVhat J. A. Macdonald Is Now Said To\nHave Stated About Joseph Martin.\n(Rossland, Sept. 16.\u2014Considerable Interest having been manifested in    the\nStatements publicly made by James A.\nIdaedonald, the liberal nominee for tne\nftJYssland city electoral division, with\neferonco to the liberal leadership, and\nlis attitude on Joseph Martin's allegeil\nleslgns on tho position, tho following\nesume of Mr.  Macdonald's    remarks\nhereon will be received wits. Interest.\nAfter  discussing  other    issues,  Mr.\nslacDonnld said that the liberals had\n(seen accused of going to the country\nvlthout a leader. Tnoir opponents\nindicted that if tbe liberals were suc\ncessful tho country would have a period\nof Martinism. Martin seemed to be a\ngreat bugbear to the conservatives, and\nIt was only fair that he should state\nihls position on the subject. After\nconsidering the question carefully he\nhad concluded that joseph Martin was\nnot the man to lead the liberal party\nin British Columbia. He said this in\nall kindness to Mr. Martin, nor did he\nbelieve that Mr. Martin was all that\nhad been painted by his opponents, A\nformer. Rosslander, who was an ex-\nmember of the federal cabinet, and a\npolitical opponent of Mr. Martin's for\nyears, had said ln the speaker's pre.\nsence when the matter of elevating Mr.\nMartin to the supreme, court of the\nprovince was mooted, tnat ur. Martin\nwas admirably qualified for the Important post by his ability and integrity.\nHowever, regardless of the charges\nthat had been made against Mr. Martin,\nhe considered Mr. Martin lacked the\ntact and temperament to lead the liberals of British Columbia satisfactorily\nand successfully. Mr. Martin quarrelled with hts friends, and allowed impetuosity to get the best of him, and\nshe (Mr. Macdonald) would not vote to-\nMr. Martin as the party leader .f\nelected.\nTHE COMMERCE DELEGATES\nSPEND AN ENJOYABLE DAY IN THE\nQUEEN  CITY.\nEXPRESS   THEIR APPRECIATION  OF\nTHE KOOTENAYS.\nAccording to a large number of delegatus of tno Chambers of Commerue wiiu\n'spent yesterday In Nelson, their stay was\none c.i tho ploasanteat incidents oC a most\ndelightful aud Instructive trip.\nIn the morning nearly lll'iy of the party\nwent out boating on tno lake iu launches\nprovided for the occasion by members or\nthe Kootenay Lake Launcii Club. The\nlako was perfectly calm, and tho run to\nFive-mile Point and back was under the\npleasuntest conditions. All expressed their\nregret that they were unablo to spend\nmoro tlmo in the city, and many stated\nthat next summer would seo them here\nfor a moro extended stay. The flotilla\nof hiiinches was handled by the owners\nof the boats, Messrs. Stoddart, Holmes,\nJarvis, Schermerhorn, Hale and Taylor.\nTho party left the city about 11 o'clock,\nreturning shortly after noon, Thoso who\nremained in the city during the morning\nspent, the tlmo In writing loiters or strolling about the town,\nIn tho afternoon a special train took\ntho delegates, accompanied by the members of tho reception committee westwafd.\nAt Kootenay crossing, ten alighted, and\nunder tho guidance of N, Carmlchael, assayer at the Granite mine, spent an Instructive hour Inspecting tho mill and\nmine. At Bonnlngton Falls about forty\ngot off and spent the time till the train\nreturned viewing the falls and tho plant\nof tho Wost Kootenay Power company.\nA few brought fishing tackle with them\nand secured some handsome trout. A little after 5 o'clock the' train started on Its\nreturn trip, bringing back all of the party\nto the clly. After dinner a largo number\nof the visitors accepted tho Invitations extended by the Nelson Club and spent the\nevening ut that Institution. The concert\nat the opera house was patronized by\nmany of tho delegates, and altogether tho\nday passed off in a most agreeable manner.\nHon. George Goodwllle, Port of Spain,\nTrinidad, who was one of tho party that\n.spent the morning in the city, expressed\nhimself as much surprised at the luxuriant character of the vegetation, both\nlocally and all through this province.\nWhat he had experienced and been told\nabout the cool nights of the summer\nwould have led him to expect almost\nnothing in the way of fruit and flowers,\nand tho charming gardens and shrubberies he had seen reminding him\ngreatly of the south of England, were\na revelation. In Trinidad, us ln the\nother West Indian islands, the temperature at night differs very slightly from\nthat of the day, the range in the twenty-\nfour hours being generally from 70 to Si\ndegrees Fahrenheit. The air Is heavy\nwith the perfume of fruit and flowers\nnight and day, at times almost overpowering, and ns a great contrast to tho\nclear, bracing atmosphere of the Kootenays as could he imagined. Whllo liking\nthe climate of his own country, Mr. Goodwllle was enthusiastic regarding the advantages of our climate. In the West\nIndies only about twenty-five per cent of\ntho natives work steadily for nny length\nof tlmo, tho rest simply existing, the\nsteady warm climate and the great luxuriance of all forms of vegetable and fruit\nlife destroying any Incentive to labor.\nThis country, while possessing mnny\nthings to make it a most desirable place\nof residence, wos certainly not one whero\na mon who had to support himself or a\nfamily could lie around and enjoy tho\nfruits of idleness. It seemed a country\nwhere nearly everyone was hard at work\nnnd as a result of tt was bound to forge\nrapidly ahead.\nW. Callard, of Ttorquay, said that the\ntrip from beginning to end had been a\nrevelation to him. He had always taken\na great deal of interest In this country,\nhad read many books about It and listened to lectures regarding It, but had to\n\u25a0confess that his conceptions of it hnd been\nhopelessly nt variance with what he had\n(seen. After getting through tho tour of\nEastern Canada, which hnd been somewhat liko he had pictured It to be, he had\nfelt that they had little more to see.\nWhen they reached the prairies, tho vast-\nnesR which trandescended anything he\nhad imagined. It seemed like reaching a\nnew continent. They travelled on and on\ntill It felt as If Canada must be one unimaginably big plain. Then, after passing Calgary, it was liko the raising of\nnnother curtain, and they wero in still\nanother country. They hnd expected\nmountains, rugged and big, but the idea\nof theso mountains stretching ovor a territory far larger than many European\nstates, and all In Canada, was almost too\nbig to grasp. Tho train kept on and on\npast ono chain nfter another. Tho number\nof engineering difficulties thnt must have\nbeen surmounted In tho building seemed\nnlmost Incredible, and the grandness of\nthe conception of carrying a lino through\nsuch a country appealed to all the trav-'\nelers. Then nt tho coast they had reached still another kind of scenery, in the\n(salt water nrms penetrating far Into the\nland, with the wonderful fisheries nnd\nlumber Industry. Then tho resources.\nThe fishing industry at the coast had appealed to them ns somewhat familiar, but\ntho lumbering had been n constant sourco\nof respectful curiosity. Tho acres and\nacres of hugo logs gathered In tho booms\nnt the Immense mills, and tho never ending procoailon of trains nnd tugs bringing fresh thousands to be converted Into\nlumber for shipment to nil parts or tho\nworld showed so clearly what tho\nnatlonnl wealth . of this country\namounted to In tho building up\nof a nation thnt It made thom nil fpei\nproud thot the samo flag waved over It,\nas over tholr own homes. Tho water\npower yet unused all over the dominion\n\u25a0was another pregnant source of wealth,\nwhich would some day be more fully re\nalized, Already many of the members of\nthe excursion were discussing mills of\ndifferent descriptions, and It was very\nUkely that fresh enterprises would grow*\nout of their visit. In the Kootenays the\nvisit of the members to the mines and\nmining plants both here and jn the Boundary country had opened their eyes\ngreutly. In England they had been looking at tho country from such a distance\nthat, like looking at a place through the\nwrong end of a telescope, It had been\ncontracted to a very small section. Now\nthey saw that besides tho wildcat propositions brought forward by unscrupulous\nspeculators, thero were many most promising mines, with excellent opportunities\nfor Investment, and the result could not\nbo  anything  but good.\nJohn Falconer, Moray House, Dover,\nexpressed himself as much impressed with\nNelson and the Kootenays. The particulars that he had obtained about the age\nof tho different towns, and this city ln\nparticular, tuken with the neat and tasteful appearance of the residences,\nspoke volumes for the people who lived\nhere. He had spent an hour or so ad*\nmiring the delightful little gardens to bo\nseen everywhere through the city, and\nthe good taste which distinguished the\nstylo of houses. There was a total absence of tlio long rows of buildings all\nbuilt and painted, the same to be seen in\nolder cities. Individual fancies seemed to\nhave been followed out with most picturesque and artistic success.\nThis morning the whole party leave on\nthe steamer Moyle at 7 o'clock for the-\nCrow's   Nest.\nHOSPITALITY\nAPPRECIATED\nLake Erie and Detroit River Railway it\nBlenheim yesterday afternoon.

They are now getting 32 cents\nan hour for ten hours, and they ask\nfor 34 cents. The blacksmiths claim\nthat last May when the U.B.R.E. strike\nwas on, they submitted a scale to the\nC.P.R. officials, for which they asked\nacceptance. They were then getting\n32 cents, and they asked for 34, but\nwere put off with an understanding\nthat when the machinists' scale, which\nwas then before the officials, was\nsettled, the smiths would get what they\nasked.\n-.The maohinlsts got their rate, but\nwhen the smiths came back for their\nother two cents, they were told that\nthey could not get two rises ln one\nyear, and the strike this morning is the\nresult\nThe strikers belong to the International brotherhood of blacksmiths and\nhelpers, which is affiliated through the\nAmerican Federation of Labor, with\nthe machinists and boilermakers, so that\nif the company tries to introduce non\nunion blacksmiths a general strike will\nundoubtedly follow.\nA   BOUNDARY   WRECK.\nA Spread Rail Causes!  tlse Trouble\u2014Tlso\nVisiting Delegates.\n[Special to Tho Dally News.]\nGreenwood, Sept. 1C\u2014On Wednesday\nmorning a ti-ain of nineteen ore ears with\ncaboose, bound for the Bounslns-y Falls\nsmeltor, met with a ruther serious wreck\nIn tho rock cutting In the south part of\nthe town.

No deduction)\nwere drawn, though the pubheattoj\nteams with Interesting notes which are\nregarded as points of tact The re-\nfereces to foreign trade were chiefly\nconfined to French, German, and the\nUnited States. Before the trade of thu\nUnited Kingdom and any of the colonies could be reserved to Brltisa vessels, tho board of trade states that th:-\nexisting treaty with Austria, Greece,\nand other countries would have to be\ndenounced.\nOne of the most important phases\ndealt with in the blue book are \"Imports and exports.\" The tables show\nthat the United Kingdom is most dependent on imported wheat The question of wages and the cost of living,\nespecially the price of food, which has\nfigured so largely In the recent Chamberlain agitation, takes up pages, and\nis summed up as follows:\u2014'line average\nlevel wages ln the United States aro\none and one-twelfth times greater than\nin the United Kingdom, while ln Germany wages are only two-thirds, ana in\nFrance three-quarters ot the average\nprevailing in the United Kingdom.\"\nThe percentage ot family Incomes,\ntaking New York as the capital ot ths\nUnited States, ls estimated on the basis\nof 100 per cent, for the United Kingdom, for the United States 123 per cent.,\nfor France 83 por cent, and for Germany 69 per cent.

There was\nalways a convenient plea to offer for\ntaking tho trip at the public expense.\nTherein lay the beauty of the thing.\nTo go to Ottawa at their own expense\nwas ono thing, and was to be thought\nof twice before being acted upon, but\nto go at the-expense of the province\nwas another and far better way. The\nconvenient excuse given for making the\npilgrimage was to seek better terms for\nthe province.\nDeputation after deputation of ministers have gone to Ottawa to stand up\nfor better terms and to make demands\nfrom the Dominion Government. They\nwere well received, nicely treated, had\na good time, and came back again none\nthe worse\u2014and none the better\u2014for\ntbelr outing. Because they did not get\nall they asked from the government,\nthere has been an attempt made to\nblame the Ottawa people for the failure\nof the missions. But what other than\nfailure Is to be expected When men like\nDunsmulr, Prior, Eberts, and Green try\nto hold up the liberal administration of\nCanada? Their record ls not such\ntbat the Dominion would be warranted\nin accepting their word for anything,\nthey have not proved by their public\nacts that they are worthy ot confidence\nln either their recommendations or\ntheir undertakings. The ministry at\nOttawa are not Ignorant of what goes\non In this province. They are not unmindful of the requirements of the province, but tbat they should hesitate to\ndeal on matters of public Importance\nwithout very careful consiueratlon and\ndue deliberation with the Turner, Dunsmulr, Prior, and McBride governments\nis just what the people of British Columbia should expect from a government\nwhose desire it is to promote the general prosperity and accede to the reasonable demand of the several provinces.\nThe federal government have not\nbeen Impressed with the capability of\npast provincial ministries to administer\nthe affairs of this province; they are\nnot ignorant of the incompetence exhibited by past governments in this province in the administration of provincial finances; they have seen too many\nenormous land grants given away to\nsubsidy hunters to have any confidence ln the good judgment ot the\nprovincial ministries. What did the\nTurner government do to inspire confidence? What did the Prior outfit\ndo to lead the Ottawa government to\nplace better and more implicit faith ln\nthem? And what has premier McBrlde\nand his colleagues done to make the\nDominion authorities repose more, aye,\n.or even as much, confidence in them as\nthey had in the Prior aggregation?\nIf the province of British Columbia\nexpects to receive any better consideration at the hands of the Federal administration than has been the case\nin the past, It must bo shown that the\nmen ln whose hands the management\nof public affairs in this province has\nbeen entrusted are capable men, men ln\nwhose policy they have faith, and with\nwhich they are in sympathy. The\nliberals of this province are of the opinion that they are better able to obtain\nbetter terms from the Dominion government than are the conservatives.\nNot so much because of any affllllation\nIn matters political, but because the\npolicy the liberals of British Columbia\nare advocating bespeaks sound administration upon a businesslike basis.\nIn a question of this kind results\nmust be looked to, and to get results\nthero must be the laying of a sure foundation. Tho policy of the liberals of\nBritish Columbia, as laid down ln their\nplatform and manifesto, embraces\nevery question vitally    affecting    tho\nWhat frayed your linen?\nNot Sunlight Soap\u2014\n\"    ' No, indeed!\nSunlight\nSoap\nREDUCES\nEXPENSE\nAsk for the Octagon Bar        333\nvoters who had already made plans ln\naccordance with original date. In connection with this he mentioned the loggers at the cost who worked ln isolated\nplaces who would not learn of the change\nin time to cast their votes.\ncountry aa a whole, and is a policy that\ncreates confidence in the Intention of\nthat party to put it into operation.\nThere is nothing in its several provisions that cannot be carried out, there\nis nothing in its planks that does - not\nagree with the general policy of the\nliberal party in the Dominion. \u201e That\nthere should be a desire'on the part of\nprovincial liberals to effect reforms in\nthe fiscal policy, ln the civil service, in\nthe administration of lands, in the\ntransportation policy, and, in short, in\nall matters of grave public import, is\ntrajTln keeping with the desires of the\nparty with respect to the entire Dominion, and extends to that question\nwhich has been the alleged object of so\nmany excursions to Ottawa, the proper\nconsideration of provincial rights. The\nliberals of this province are fully alive\nto the necessity of looking after the\ninterests of their .particular part of the\nDominion, and will not neglect an opportunity to insist upon the rights of\nthe province in all matters pertaining\nto Oriental labor and to the readjustment of the financial arrangements lie-\ntwee province and Dominion. With\nfederal and provincial governments\nworking together harmoniously, the\nprovince stands a better chance of having the representations of its officers\ngiven due weight, and apart from other\nconsiderations the province stands to\ngain by the placing the charge of affairs in tbe hands of the liberals.\nThere is, however, the yet stronger and\nmore cogent reason, that the conservative ministers in the past have failed to\ncarry on the business of the country as\nit should have been done, and with a\ngood record to assist them, the liberals\nare entitled to the opportunity now presented to them of establishing the business affairs of the province upon a\nsound and sure foundation.\nEDITORIAL NOTES.\nThe visiting delegates of the chambers of commerce of the empire have\nbrought kings weather with them to\nNelson, and their trip through the\nKootenays has been under bright skies\nand in typical Canadian fall weather.\nShort through their stay In this city\n-has been, it has given them an opportunity of forming some idea at least of\nthe district, and its possibilities. They\nwill have seen a happy, prosperous\ncommunity, bent on working out its\ncommercial salvation in true western\nfashion, energetically and with no\nthought of failure. They cannot fail\nto note 'here as elsewhere throughout\nthe Dominion the keen interest taken\nin the affairs of the empire at large,\nand as the errand which brought them\nacross the ocean\u2014and in some cases\nacross more than one ooean\u2014is an imperial one, they will pass along on their\nhomeward Journey impressed with the\noutlook for this section of the Pacific\nprovince, and with a kindly recollection of the people who dwell here.\nWhile ithe Dominion redistribution\nbill is still before the commons, the\nBritish Columbia portion of it went\nthrough without any trouble. As already announced, the seven constituencies will be Comox, Atlin, Kootenay,\nNanaimo, Vancouver, Victoria and Yale\nCariboo.'\nTbe liberals of Slocan have decided\nnot to put up a candidate in the place\nof Mr. Bradshaw, who was forced to\nretire from the contest for business\nreasons.

Apply Z The Daily News.\nA NEW GEM DISCOVERED.\nA new gem has been discovered In\nSan Diego county, California, and the lapidaries aro delighted with it says the\nMining Reporter. It was found near\nPala, close to the Utha deposits. W. R.\nBacon, of tiie Minos Verification and Development Company, describes It aa being\na silicate, something similar to \"Iceland\nSpar.\" It Is square and long. It is at\nllrst sight white, but when it is held to\nthe light and looked at It glows with a\nlovely  purple amethystine tint.\nIt was discovered accldently by men\nworking In tho lithia formation. It attracted their attention at once. No one\nwas able to \"place\" It. Skilled mlnera-\nlogiiBts were unable to Identify it. The\nTiffany lirm in New York was communicated with, and after the export of the\ngreat jewel firm had decided that the\ngem was a distinct novelty, capable of\nbeing handled and cut, and of taking on\na high polish, there was a rush of diggers, and enough specimens have been\ntaken out to depreciate its value, by\nshowing that it is not at all uncommon,\nand in deposits .may bo actually classed\nas common. The wonder is that the formation has hitherto escaped  observation.\nThis maintains its value for the present, at least, on an equality with that\nof gold. It is apparently plentiful. One\ndigger took out $200 worth in a few minutes.\nCASCADE Beer In pints and quarts.\nMETAL MARKET CONDITIONS.\nThe metal markets generally showed\nlittle change during the week. Business\nremains very active in some directions,\nalthough ln others conditions ure not\nquite so favorable.\nSliver continues to bo in fair demand\nfor the East, but there is less pressuro\nto buy, and quotations nre a little lower.\nTho short interest in London appears to\nbo now fairly covered, and speculation\nln the metal is quiet.\nLead ls In very strong demand, and\nwhile prices are nominally unchanged, the\nprincipal sellers refuse to guarantee time\naf deliveries, owin to the difficulty of\ngetting supplies forward, and the scarcity of spot metal. It Is reported that\nIn some cases premiums have been paid\nfor early deliveries, The cause of the\nheavy consumption Is not altogether clear,\nbut .the fact ls undoubted.\nSpelter also continues strong, nnd prices\nare well maintained. There Is no doubt\nthat the consumption at the present time\nIs slightly ahead of production, and tlio\nsmelters find it difficult to keep up wtlh\ndeliveries that are called for.\nCopper Is very quiet. Consumers seem\nto have supplied themselves for all present needs during the recent period of activity. But few transactions are reported,\nand those are generally of a small description. Prices have consequently been\nrather nominal, and the market hns a\nweaker tendency than has been recently\nTRIBUTES TO  McKINLEY.\nCitizens of His Native State Honor Murdered President.\nCanton, Ohio, Sept. 16\u2014This, the second\nanniversary of the death or tho late president McKinloy was not observed by any\nformal programme in Canton.

Mr.\nMcBrlde temporized and personally asked\nfor my views in writing. Tho accompanying letter was therefore sent to him on\nAugust 3rd and Its receipt acknowledged\nby tho mlnistor of mines on the 8th of\nAugust, but no reply 1ms been received\nby me nor, so far as I know has afty public announcement on tho question been\n'made by tho government. With a view\ntherefore to the' thorough discussion of\nthe subject I submit my letter for publication:    Yours truly,\nA.   W.   McVlTTlE.\nCranbrook, Septombor 16th.\nI The letter referred to is dated at Cran-\n| brook, August 3rd, 1903, and Is addressed\n[ to Hon. Richard McBride at Victoria, und\nI reads as follows:\nSome time ago when you were in Cran-\ni brook I promised to state to you in wrlt-\n} ing my views on the Flathead reserve in\nSoutheast Kootenay. Fumlly matters\nhave since occupied mo to the exclusion\nI of all else, but I am now ahlo to fulfill\ni my promlso.\nIt Is evident that the Lund Act Clauses\nwhich give any individual tho right to\nstake, advertise and thereby acquire the\nsole prlvilego of prospecting for coal or\npetroleum lands wero intended to encourage prospecting for theso minerals with\na view to tho development of the country.\nThe privilege la to be grunted, In fact, as\na definite reward to tho man who has en\nterprise enough to exploro and prospect\ncomparatively unknown portions of the\nprovince, or spend money or time In really\nprospecting for coal or petroleum on vacant crown lands.        t\nIt tho Flathead reservo bo cancelled,\nwhat object would be gained leaving the\nlands therein open to the public under the\npresent act? Tho ground is already widely known to be rich in coal and petroleum,\nand the result would be a wild scramble\nfor locations leading to endless litigation\nand eventually to the ownership of tho\nlands being vested in one or two powerful\ncorporations, which might possibly not\nwork them for years; those fortunate ones\nwho secured locations would bo presented\nwitii very valuable properties, as a reward for what? Not for prospecting nor\nfor discovery, but for being tho quickest\ntravelers through tho hills to got stakes\nset, that as if the reservo should be cancelled without long notice, but if tho notice should ho published In the Gazette\nfor tho long period required, the result\nwould be the. presence on the ground of\nthousands of men, all ready with their\nstnkes for the proper moment, and every\npleco of valuable lands would have dozens or scores of claimants.\nWhy should tho province give away for\nnothing this valuable property? if it Is\ncertain that the C. P. R. does not own\nIt, then let it bo disposed of for tho full\nvalue for tho benefit of tlio provincial\ntreasury, which appears to need money\nbadly enough. Let it be sold or leased\nin suitable blocks with conditions attached which will compel the actuul\nworking of tho deposits with royalties to\nthe crown, so thnt the country may benefit, first from tho payments, and afterwards In permanent Income and prosperity In the district resulting from the con-\nFor Miners,\nLumbermen or\nHousehold use\nit is the pure cream with the\nwater taken out of it by evaporation\u2014No sugar\u2014Nothing but\nthe Cream\u2014\nAdd Water and you have the\npurest and richest of cream \u2014\nas produced by the milch cows of Prince Edward Island*\nThe most celebrated Dairy District in North America*\nAll Grocers and supply houses sell it.\ntinued  and  extensive  operations  on  the\naround.\nIt Is rumored that your government\ncontemplates aitotlng tiie lanus already\nstuked in reserve to all present first claimants. 1 scarcely credit this. Why give\naway millions dollars worth of land to\npersons who havo no legal claims whatever? The scandal would be more pronounced owing lo the fact that a large\nproportion of the present stukcrs and\nclaimants are members of a syndicate or\nsyndicates organized in Spokane, supposed to have assurances from the late\ngovernment thnt their claims would be\nrecognized ln contravention of the law;\nand that another very large proportion of\nthe claimants are claiming in tho interest of a Rossland syndicate, supposed to\nbo acting for the Canadian Pacific Railway Company.\nAll persons who have staked lands in\ntho reserve, for some weeks jack have\ndone so while fully knowing that the re- i\nserve Was in existence, probably .suppos- '\nIng that thu government could not curry\nout their supposed agreement with the\nSpokane parties without recognizing all\nclaims. 1 believe that four-lift lis of all\nthe sections claimed by advertisement up\nto date are In the names of aliens or of\ntho Rossland syndicate ,both supposed to\nhavo hud assurances from the late government; assurances given corruptly und\nIn contravention of the law. Why then\nshould a now government saddle itself\nwith a corrupt and Illegal pomise to give\naway several million dollars worth of the\ncountry's property?\nI think I have sufficiently explained\nmy views on tho mutter, and I shall\nawait your reply with interest. My leiter\nshall remain a personal one to you for\nthe present, but It Is only fair to stale\nthat if your government does not mnke\na definite statement on this question\nshortly, I hold myself at liberty to publish this letter, and to agitate the question to the best of my ability.

Galliher, M.P., who returned on\nthe late train Tuesday night from\nOttawa, stated to a representative of\nthe Daily News yesterday that he wa?\nIndeed glad to get back to this city,\nand to see that the results of the leal\nlegislation introduced at the present\nsession of the house were already being\nfelt in improved conditions throughout\nthe Kootenays generally.\nThe session had been a record one for\nlength, which had been caused not onlv\nby the large amount of important legislation that had come up, but also by thi\nfactious opposition Indulged In by soma\nof the members. The lead bounty bill\nhad received Its final reading In the\ncommons and was now up to tho\nsenate. Among the legislation passol\nthis session particularly affecting tne\nKootenays was the order ln connel\npermitting lead to be sent in bond from\nCanada to the United States for corr.i-\nslon, and re-admitted with only a duty\ncharged on the corrosion costs. Besides this there had been a number of\nimprovements made In the postal system, of which Nelson had a good shan.\nA mail service between this city and\nthe Lardeau by way of Kootenay Laki,\na railway mil service with the Boundary, and a daily service over tho\nCrow's Nest were some of the improve\nments that had been made.\nRegarding the Grand Trunk Pacittc\nscheme, he did not consider that there\nwas the slightest doubt as to its going\nthrough, and the benefits^to this province in particular would be incalculable. The present session would probably close on October 1st, if the present arrangement between the parties\nwas carried out, but if anything upset\nthis It might be the end of October bo-\nfore the closing took place. He couli\nnot say yet whether he would return\nto Ottawa again before the close of the\nsession.     \u2014\nPROGRAMME OP THB FAIR.\n\"W. H.

Poplar\nCreek is in the territory of Fred Fraser\nas gold commissioner and Fred Gamp-\nbell as recorder at Trout Lake, but\nwithout consulting either of these\ngentlemen or the wishes of the people\nof the division, Poplar Greek was made\na sub-recording offlce, and placed under\nthe Jurisdiction of Mr. Chlpman. The\ncreation of the sub-office was not ln\nitself a bad idea, but when tho recorder\nof the Ainsworth division jumps over the\nline fence and commences taking the\nfunds belonging to tbo Trout Lake recording offlce, then a kick ls coming,\nand we register it right here.\nWho the deuce ls Alexander Lucas\nanyway, and what the deuce has (he ever\ndone that he should be lugged away from\nanother division and placed in control\nof this office of recent creation?\nWe know he was conservative organizer, and also one of Green's stalwarts, but is this any good reason why\nother good supporters of Green in this\ndivision should be insulted by a studied\ndisregard of their claims. There are\nseveral men In this division\u2014good\ntories, too\u2014who aro just as capable ot\nfilling this offlce as Alexander Lucas,\nThere is in existence in Trout Lake\na Conservative Association, but It can\nnever have been reported to Bob Green\nelse why was this appoltment made\nwithout its advice or consent? But\nif it was consulted, surely It is playing it pretty low down on its friends\n.here to consent to a flagrant insult to\nthe local recorder and conservatives\nwith the necessary brains and ability\nto fill a Position of this nature without\ndrawing on the talent of Kaslo.\nIt would seem to an unbiased spectator that the Green family and the\nLucas family had graft (enoughs in\nKaslo without invading another gold\ncommissioner's dominions, but apparently the stomach of the Lucas-Green\ncombination requires a lot of filling.\nBobby Green has a J4.000 graft, Brother\nWilliam John holds down a smaller one\nIn the recording office, while the Lucas\nfamily ought to eat pie three times a\nday as a result of the elder Lucas's idea\nof what is coming to him. If Bobby\nGreen and his friends ore bound to get\na whack at the public purse, why let\nthem do It, but there ore a whole lot\nof good torles in and around Trout\nLake who wouldn't mind a pie handout\nthemselves.\nWatch that streak of green\u2014ono night\nonly Mlkudo.
