A few questions were answered\nand - \/or about an hour there was a\n\u25a0discussion on the question of co-operative societies. This was introduced\nby P. D. Monk, whose bill dealing with\nthe subject was slaughtered by the\nbanking and commerce committee of\n\u25a0the senate last session. Mr. Monk\nseverely criticized the members of the\nupper house for their action.\nRalph Smith, of Nanaimo, had a good\nword to say for Mr. Monk's bill. He\ndid not like the attitude assumed by\nMr. Lemieux. Last year Mr. Lemieux\nhad been very strongly In favor of the\nbill. H looked as if he was on the\ndown grade.\nIn answer to a question by liaughton,\nLennox, Hon. George P. Graham announced that the engineers that are\ndrawing up the plans for .the Quebec\n\u2022bridge have decided upon a reconstruction of that viaduct at a height of 150\nfeet above high tide and with 600 feet\nclear in the centre. The minister declared that J .S. Armstrong's proposal\nfor a submarine viaduct was \"impracticable.\"\nE. N. Lewis has given notice that he\nwill introduce a bill entitled The Daylight Savings act. The bill is based on\nthe measure now before the British\nparliament, and which alms to have all\nthe clocks ln the country moved an\nhour during tho summer months. There\nla little probability of the bill getting\nserious consideration as there is too\nmuch private legislation already on the\norder paper.\nLancaster's level crossing bill was\nbefore the senate railway committee\nagain today and a lively sitting resulted. M. J. Butler, deputy minister\nof railways, stated that while no attempt was made to classify crossing\naccidents, a large percentage wns due\nto the carelessness of the people themselves. The bill which the minister of\nrailways would introduce, while making provisions for aid to secure better\nprotection of crossings, leaves the\nspeed of trains to the judgment of the\nrailway commission. Mr. Big-gar, for\nthe Grand Trunk, stated that his company had 7000 grade crossings of which\n2000 were In cities, towns and villages,\nand Mr. Creelman, for the C. P. R.,\nsaid that while his company was not\nopposed to the principle of the bill, he\ndid not think It was the be^t way in\nwhich to get over the difficulty. They\npreferred that the question, should he\nleft to the railway commission. , Te\nbill as it stood would put the business\nof Canada back twenty years. For instance, If the bill were passed the\ntime for crossing the continent will\nbe Increased hy two or three days.\nThe following statement has been\ngiven out on the authority of the department of mines. A few weeks ago\nH. B. Radford received an order from\nthe deputy minister of mines, A. P.\nLow, to collect natural history specimens ln Alberta and MacKenzle and\nto forward the same to Ottawa. Radford received letters of introduction to\nthe Hudson's Bay company officials and\nothers. This order was given to Radford by the deputy minister under a\nmisapprehension and was yesterday\ncancelled by a wire to Mr. Radford at\nEdmonton. There are no funds at\npresent at the disposal of the department for this purpose and therefor ho\nspecimens will be paid for or accepted\nfrom Radford.\nThe banking and commerce committee of the house of commons today\nconsidered a bill respecting the Canada\nLife Assurance company. Hon. Geo.\nA. Cox and Mr. Bruce, solicitor for the\ncompany were present. Leighton McCarthy, K. C, on behalf of the company explained the act of parliament\npassed in 1879. It had been stated\nthat heretofore the company had distributed 75 per cent, of its profits, but\nthiB was unfortunately a misstatement\nof facts. The hearing adjourned till\nFriday.\nIn the senate yesterday, debate on\nsenator Scott's motion for reform of\nthat body was resumed by senator G.\nW. Ross, who, In a lengthy speech, expressed the conviction that there was\nno general feeling in the country favoring abolition, neither had there been a\n\"\u25a0movement in favor of a change and he\nthought the time had come when the\nsenate would propriety cease discussion of the question unless it came, in\nthe form of a definite proposal from\nthe government.\nReplying to a question put by senator Lougheed, sir. Richard Cartwright\nsaid he understood that the United\nStates senate in giving approval to the,\nwaterways treaty had added a rider at\nthe instance of senator Smith of Michigan.   The rider had been communi\ncated to the Canadian commissioners.\nAs to whether it would be hereafter\nbinding on the United States, sir\nRichard thought It would. It would\nnot, however, he binding upon the\nCanadian government unless lt was approved after consideration.\nThe hill respecting the Kootenay\nCentral railway company was given its\nthird reading.\nIn the senate yesterday senator\nLougheed inquired as to a report that\nthe Grand Trunk Pacific had applied to\nthe government for a ten million dollar\nloan. Sir Richard Cartwright replied\nthat the company had applied for a\nconsiderable sum to enable it to carry\non its undertakings. In the house\nHon. W. S. Fielding informed R. L.\nBorden that legislation in regard to the\nGrand Trunk Pacific advance would be\nbrought down almost immediately.\nPRISON GATESWILL OPEN\nFREE   AFTER   SIX   YEARS'   PENAL\nSERVITUDE.\nCAREY   IS   PROVED   INNOCENT   BY\nDYING  MAN.\n\u25a0OTTAWA. March 10\u2014The minister\nof justice has been given a death-bed\nconfession signed by a man named\nBaxter, who passed .away a few days\nago ln St. Michael's hospital. Toronto,\nafter pleading guilty to a crime for\nwhich a man named Carey is in jail in\n\u2022England. Six years ago Carey, an ex-\nsoldier of the Royal Rifle Brigade of\nEngland, was sentenced to fourteen\nyears' penal servitude in Manchester,\nEngland, for a crime against the moral\nlaws of Britain. Carey, who originally hailed from Toronto, was unable\nto clear himself, and while awaiting\nsentence took a last desperate chance\nof being sent back to Canada by confessing in his English prison that he\nwas lhe murderer of little Glory Whelan, whose awful death shocked Canada in 1903. The Toronto police, however, received a visit from a mysterious stranger, who showed that Carey\nwas not the murderer, and on this information the English authorities disregarded Carey's \"confession\" and sent\nhim back to prison on the first charge\nfor fourteen years. This was in 1903.\nRev. R. B. Gagnon reached the capital today to lay the case before Hon.\nMr. 'Aylesworth. Mr- Gagnon was iu\nToronto and called in to see Carey's\nfamily about the Baxter confession,\nand when'the clergyman came to the\naged mother of the prisoner with\nproofs of her son's innocence, she\nbegged Father Gagnon to go \\o> Ottawa\nand Bee Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Acting\non the advice of his legal adviser,\nAlexander W- Smith of this city, bow-\neve, the delegate decided to interview\nthe minister of justice so that proper\nrepresentations may be mae to the\nBritish authorities for the release of\nCarey.\nMOUNTED POLICE REPORT.\nCommissioner Perry's Interesting Remarks.\nOTTAWA, March 10\u2014The annual re\nport of the Royal Northwest Mounted\nPolice was laid on the table of tlie\nhouse yesterday by the premier. The\nreport of commissioner Perry gives the\nstrength on Oct. 31. 1908 as 51 officers\n598 noncommissioned officers and con\nstables and 523 horses. Commissioner\nPerry states that the strength of the\nforce does not allow him to give the\nfull and satisfactory service which the\n\u25a0public has heen accustomed to receive\nfor many years and now expects. The\nfact that the arrangement with the\n.provinces will end in two years rend\ners it impossible for him to ask for any\nincrease in the force and he only brings\nthe matter up in order that people may\nappreciate that the power to serve has\nnot grown with the responsibilities.\nDuring the year 7624 cases were enter\ned and 6377 convictions obtained, an in\ncrease of 6922. The increase is due to\nthe gain in population in both of the\nprovinces. The large number of men\nleaving the force annually strikes at\nits efficiency- The waste of time and\nmoney in training men who do not\nserve their full time is very great. Dur\ning the year 117 men left the force.\n15 iby purchase, 17 by dismissal and 11\nfor inefficiency. The chief cause of\ndismissals was drunkenness- The force\nis composed of a fine body of men\nhighly trained, but too many good\nmen have purchased out and too many\n\"wasters\" have found their way in and\nhave had to he culled out-\nAssistant commissioner Wood In his\nreport pays some attention to the\ncharge made on the morality of the\nYukon. The assistant commissioner's\nopinion is that if some of the people\nwho have talked so much were to in\nquire into thelir own home city condi\ntlons they would find more immorality\nthan there is in the Yukon.\n\"My  Ducats;   My   Ducats.\"\nDUDAPEST, March 10\u2014Julius Geney,\na rich apothecary, has sued emperor\nFrancis Joseph in the royal courts here\nfor six thousand francs ($1,200.)

Life-like\ndummies were used and It waB proved\nthat loss of life could be avoided when\nthe; persons were caught ln a standing\nor stooping position. In a prone position the Inventions were not so successful.

IDAHO AND\nCENTRE STAR MINES ARE\nPLEASING TO RESIDENTS OF\nGOLDEN  CITY.\nROSSLAND, March 10.\u2014A forty-foot\nvein of high grade ore has heen struck\nIn the ninth level of the War Eagle.\nIt Is rich in. gold with every indication\nthat the ore extends to the upper levels\nand probably to the surface. Drifting\nlias shown the vein to he forty feet\nwide and 400 feet long containing\nheavy sulphides with high gold values.\nThis same vein has been productive on\nthe tenth level and while no work has\nbeen done on it in the upper levels it\nis thought the ore will extend for several hundred feet above the ninth and\npossibly to the surface. Assays show\nthat the ore runs from twenty to one\nhundred dollars. It Is the most important strike made in the mine for\nseveral years.\nOn the eleventh and twelfth levels\nof the Centre Star, rich ore has been\nencountered in some of the larger\nslopes, and the Iron Mask mine, which\nhas been found to contain at least four\nprofitable ore shoots continues to develop in a very satisfactory manner.\nThere is a large tonnage of developed ore between the present Iron Mask\nworkings and the surface. Some of the\nlower levels of the War Eagle are being extended to the Iron Mask property and within the past few days the\nelgth level of the War Eagle encountered values in Iron Mask ground. Recent developments on the Idaho have\nbeen most profitable. On the fourth\nlevel a big stope which is now 150 feet\nlong by from 20 to 30 Teet wide, Is\nproducing a good tonnage of heavy\nsulphide ore containing about ten dollars in gold besides good values in\ncopper and silver. This ore shoot Is\nlocated on the south vein. On the main\nvein stoping fs being continued and the\nore is extending westward, recent\nvalues In the west drift having been\nhigh.\nDuring February the Centre Star\nmade profits of $30,000 over and above\neverything and the management Is\nmuch encouraged. Three furnaces are\nrunning at Uie Consolidated company's\nsmelter at Trail, treating about 1,000\ntons of copper ore per day, from which\nare being produced six hundred tons of\ncopper matte per month, containing\n$240,000 worth of gold. The lead furnace averages 200 tons of ore per day\nfrom which lias been produced 100 tons\nof bullion per day, which Is the record\nfor Trail and is probably the best record on the continent. The lead refinery at Trail is producing 2000 tons\nof pig lead per month and is shipping\nclose to 250.000 ounces of refined silver\nto China each month.\nBOUNDARY TROPHY.\nGrand Forks Hockey Team Gets Coveted Prize.\n(RopntB, to Tbe Dallv Newa.)\nPHOENIX.

At\nthis meeting complete plans for the\nseason's operations will, it is expected,\nbe consummated and afterwards laid\nbefore a general meeting of the association arranged for Friday, March 26.\nThe various tenders for supplies\nwhich were received by the board were\nalso fully considered and for similar\nreasons were left to be finally dealt\nwith at the next directors' meeting.\nThe directors at tho meeting yesterday expressed themselves as being con-\ndent that with the co-operation of the\ngrowers satisfactory results can ba obtained this coming season. The reports\nsubmitted by Mr, Beeston were of a\nmost complete and satisfactory nature\nand gave the board a splendid idea of\nthe conditions with which tbey have to\ndeal In making arrangements for the\ndisposal of the fruit.

GORDON     THINKS     BRITISH\nCOLUMBIA  THE  PLACE.\nWRITES   SERIES   OF   LETTERS   ON\nTHE  SUBJECT.\nThe following is tlie fit's! of* u series\nof letters written by Col. S. D. Gordon,\nlate of the 18th Duke of Connaught's\nLancers, who has recently returned to\nthe old country after a visit to British\nColumbia, and Is so enthusiastic In\nhis praise of this province that he has\nprepared a series of letters on his trip,\nwhich are being published ln the Canadian Gazette of London, England.\nHaving recently returned from a\nvisit to Hrltlsh Columbia, during which\n1 saw many of tlie most attractive\nplaces of that very attractive province,\nand, further, enjoyed very special fa-\nclltles for gaining general Information\nand1 seeing for myself the conditions\nof life out there, I venture to   think\nthat a short account of my Impressions\nand experiences may bo Interesting,\nand possibly useful, to any one thinking of settling out there.\nI made a particular point of Inquiring into the various ways In which\nEnglish people of limited means\u2014such\nas retired army and navy oflicers or\nretired Anglo-Indian officials of all\nkinds\u2014settling out there could find\nsuitable residences, occupations and\namusements, with or without reasonable prospects of adding something to\ntheir incomes by a certain amount of\nwork or trouble; and it Is chiefly from\nthat point of view that I speak. I may\nalso say that my Impressions are based\non what I saw for myself, or what I\ngathered from actual settlers whom I\nmet, and that I have done my best to\nmake allowance for exaggerated or\noptimistic views, such as people\npleased with their own surroundings\nsometimes express.\nFirst, as regards the journey out.\nIt is simple, easy, full or novelty and\ninterest, and,, considering the distance\ncovered, not unreasonably expensive.\nA first-class ticket from Liverpool to\nMontreal, costs about \u00a318 by \"Empress\" steamer in winter season, and\nii Pullman car ticket, with sleeping accommodations from Montreal to Vancouver costs another \u00a3 18 18s. !)d.\nFood on the** train costs about $2.60\n(10s. > n day, and with various sundries\nand tips the total should not exceed\n\u00a345. Those who would be content to\ntravel second saloon by steamer and\ntourist car, with sleeper by train, could\nreduce the cost to \u00a335, and would endure no serious hardships.\nI flrst visited Vancouver Island, including Victoria and Us extensive\nsuburbs, Saanlch, Duncans, Cowichan\nHay, Quainichan. Nanaimo, Courtenay,\nComox, Campbell River .Albernl and\nLittle Quallcum. Leaving the Island, I\nremained a short time at Vancouver,\nand then went on to see the famous\nfruit growing districts In the Okanagan and Kootenay valleys, staying for\nvarious perlodB at Vernon, Coldstream,\nKelowna, Pentlcton, Okanagan Falls\nand Nelson. At all these places I made\nvery careful inquiries into all that concerns the fruit growing and other industries, and t believe I may fairly lay\nclaim to having gained a fair general\nimpression of all that concerns a settler's life in this far-away portion of\nour empire,\nFor those who wish to lead pleasant,\neasy lives it is a splendid climate and\nlovely scenery, with a certain amount\nof congenial society and no serious\nwork or worries, such places as Duncans (on Vancouver Island), Nelson,\nVernon and Kelowna offer a very large\nchoice, from which few could fail to\nfind what they want. These are ail\npractically English colonies. Clubs and\ntennis courts already exist or are In\ncourse of formation; all English games\nand amusements are kept up; Bport\nof all kinds is good and easily obtained; the scenery is magnificent and\nthe climate almost Ideal; yachting, rowing and bathing can be had everywhere in their seasons, and all at a\nvery moderate cost; and at the same\ntime many of the residents are already\nmaking large profits from their orchards, and many more confidently expect to do so as soon as their fruit\ntrees commence bearing. At all these\nplaces there are retired officers and\nAnglo-Indians already settled; and\nthey are all enthusiastic about the life\nthey lead out there. Naturally they\nare all very anxious for more of their\nown class to settle around them, and\nany such who go may be sure of a\nvery  warm welcome and all  possible\n^\nEclipse\nHand Laundry\nC. O.

Vancouver Island,\nassistance.\nNelson and Duncans are the two\nlargest of these colonies ami, perhaps\nfor this reason, offer the most attractions. At Nelson there Is a charming\nEnglish club, or perhaps I should say\nn charming club run on English lines.\nThere Is always a lot going on there\nIn a social way; people are friendly\nand genial. Sport of the very best,\nboth fishing and shooting, is to be hud\nall round about; excellent yachting\nmid bathing in the lake. The climate\nis almost perfect, and no better fruit\ncan be'grown in the province.   -\nAlmost the same words could be\nused ln describing Duncans. I don't\nthink there is yet a club there, hut\nthere surely will he soon. There are\nsome  excellent  public    grass    tennis\ncourts, where the people fron? the surrounding ranches meet weekly, or\nmore often, and there . are frequent\ndances. At Duncans both salt\" nnd\nfresh water sport and amusements are\nto be had, for Cowichan Bay, which is\nclose at hand, is really a long arm of\nthe sen; and there are several lakes\nround about, on which sport and\nyachting can be had. The fishing,\nboth salmon and trout, round here Is\nsplendid. Splendid fruit, too, Is grown.\nVictoria Is about forty miles off, and\nIt Is easily possible to go In for a few\nhours' shopping and return the same\nevening. The chief difference between\nNelson and Duncans Is thnt, whereas\nthe former is a large town, Duncans\nconsists of numerous ranches located\nall round a small village; but both are\nessentially English colonies. The\nscenery around Duncans Is simply glorious and cannot he beaten. Kelowna\n(where there Is n small club) and Vernon are miniature Nelsons, surrounded\nby many thriving fruit gardens, the\nColdstream Ranch, near Vernon, being,\nI believe, the biggest and one of the\nmost successful In the province. v\nFor those, again, who nre willing and\nable to work seriously to add to their\nincomes In any one ot the various ways\nwhich the province offers, all these\nsame places are equally available, and\nin addition the extensive districts\nwhich surround each of them within a\nradius of ten or twelve miles\u2014as well\nas outlying districts, which have only\nreoently commenced to develop, such\nas Pentlcton and Okanagan Falls,.   1\n 3&\nTHURSDAY   MARCH 11\n_\\xo \u00a9alia _\\owp*\nPAGE THREE\nFor the Ladies Who Care\nThe New York\n\u2022 9\nLadies\nCollege Cut Shoe\nAt from $3.50 to $5.00\nSpring will soon be here and as usual you will be planning your new spring costume, and when arranging ror your new shoes remember\nWEIR'S NEW UP-TO-DATE SHOE STORE\nStep In and let us show you the latest styles In New York Ladles' College Cut Shoes.

LAMBERT & CO.\nhave not visited Peachland and Summerland, hut I believe they are small\nhut prosperous and thriving colonies,\nand that they are mostly devoted to\npeach growing.\nIn close proximity to both Nelson\nand Duncans, though not actually Included in them, there are numerous\nlarge holdings, admirably suited for\nnew settlers, where land Is available\nat moderate rates; congenial neighbors\nlive scattered all around, and the various attractions I have already enumerated are available. Mr. J. J. Campbell of Dtmtulm, near Nelson has considerable areas of splendid land at\nBonnington and on the Slocan and\nLardo rivers, as well as some near or\nadjoining his own residence at Dun-\ntulm; and I know he would offer specially favorable terms to any settlers\nof the right sort, for the double purpose of selling some of his laud and\nobtaining congenial neighbors.\nThe same can tie said of Mr. James\nJohnstone, the president of the Hrltlsh\nColumbia Fruit Growing Association,\nwho lives quite close to Nelson. He\nhas some excellent land for sale on\nthe lake shores, near Bosworth, where\nLord Grey, the governor general, has\nrecently purchased iand from him, and\nalso in various other localities close\naround. He, too, Is most anxious to\nObtain this class of settler, and would\ncertainly offer them very favorable\nterms. In fact, there Is no lack of\ncharming and desirable sites, both residential and commercial, at any of the\nplaces I have mentioned, and everywhere a keen desire to attract this\nspecial class of settler.\nPentlcton and Okanagan Falls are\nrather farther from the railway\n(though I understand that Is likely to\nhe remedied soon), and only ln their\ninfancy, so to speak, so they cannot,\nof course, offer the social attractions\nof the older and larger settlements;\nbut, on the other hand, I am inclined\nto think that they can claim some even\ngreater natural advantages, which go\nfar to equalize matters. Their climate\nis perhaps rather warmer and' more\nequable; their crops ripen rather\nearlier\u2014a great commercial advantage; land is just at present rather\ncheaper, though unsurpassed, I believe,\nfor fruit growing, and the scenery and\nsport are at least aB good as any to\nFresh Ranch Eggs\nGood for frying,   good   for   boiling,\ngood enough    for   you, cock-a-doodle\niln\ndo.\n40c per dozen.\nGood Dairy Butter\nin bricks.\n3 pounds for $1.\nJoy will meet you at the door.\nJoy's Cash Grocery\nCorner of Josephine and Mill Streets.\nP. O. Box 637. Telephone 19\nhe found elsewhere. They need not,\ntherefore, fear any lack of purchasers\nwhen settlers come to look about.\nI have \"omitted all mention of Victoria and Vancouver, as they come\nunder an altogether different category.\nThey are the two, the only two, cities\nof British Columbia. Vancouver Is the\nlargest and more busy. Victoria Is the\ncapital, and rather residential than\ncommercial. Both are supremely\nbeautiful In their situation and surroundings, but living there is comparatively expensive, and for this reason\nperhaps they might not attract the\nclass of settler whom I am now considering. For those, however, who can\nafford to live there, and for whom city\nlife and society have special attractions, I feel sure that both these places\noffer advantages in the way of scenery,\nclimate, sport and amusements that\nshould sutisfy the most exacting.\nSpeaking generally, it is necessary\nin British Columbia to purchase land\nand build a habitation, as renting is\nalmost impossible except in the larger\ntowns and cities, nnd even in such it\nmay not be easy to find what is required at any reasonable rate; but\nland for residential purposes abounds\neverywhere and at not unreasonable\nprices, while a house to suit individual\ntastes can he very quickly erected. For\npurely residential purposes two, or at\nmost three, acres should suffice, and\nas to price, so much depends on the\nsite selected, Its locality, surroundings,\netc., that it Is difficult to speak definitely. Lake or sea frontages-\ncleared, and where necessary irrigated\n\u2014and within reasonable reach of social\ncenters, can usually be had for $300 to\n$400 per acre; but uncleared land, not\nfronting on lake or sea, and not quite\nclose to a town, can be had as cheap\nas $10 or $15 per acre. It must, however, be noted thnt clearing land of\ntimber is generally a very expensive\nitem, especially perhaps on Vancouver\nIsland, where the timber Is so heavy,\nand it Is generally advisable for many\nreasons to buy cleared or at least partially cleared land. 1 should say $300\nper acre fs a fair average price to give\nfor really good residential sites on lake\nor sen front. The cost of building a\nhouse depends so entirely on the style\nof house required that I can give no\nestimate. A humble built quite habitable \"shack\" of three or four rooms\ncan he built for $200 to $300, and quite\na good double storeyed house for $1-\n500 to $2,000. For fruit growing purposes the prices of land vary considerably, for much the same reasons,\nand In some districts it is considerably\ncheaper than in others, though possibly equally good for the purpose. Of\nthis I will speak in my next article.\nCAP AND BELLS.\nBy Caspar Johnson.\nCopyrighted.)\nPetrol's experience with women had\nbeen Unified. Had it been otherwise\nhe would never have been beating up\nthe coast in the teeth of a rising gate\nwith night coming on and his sailing\nmaster casting an anxious eye. now\naloft at the straining rigging, now to\nthe eastern horizon where the dun grey\ncloudbank grew hourly more ominous.\nThe big whltfl yacht made heavy\nweather of it under her four reefs. She\nstuck her nose into every sea and sent\nUie water flying over her windward\nrail in a manner that drenched every\nman on her deck.\n\"Better put into Indian bay.\" the sail\ning master suggested-\nFerrol standing by the after rail,\ngrunted something that the sailing mas\nter took for acquiescence, for he gave\na terse order to the man at the wheel.\nThe yacht came about with a rattle\nand banging Ihat shook her from stem\nto stern \u201end went careening shoreward.\nFerrol watched the ragged blue black\noutline of the shore grow rapldiy more\npronounced as they neared It Presently\nthey were threading their way through\nthe score of rocky little islands behind\nwhich lay the quieter water of Indian\nbay. Although the wind waa screaming\nthrough the rigging and the great seas\nthat rushed past them were flecked\nwith an angry white foam, he was\nloath to run for shelter. This combina\ntion of wild water and wilder wind just\nsuited his mood.\nAs far as he was concerned personally he was willing to take his chances\nof riding it out or sinking; ft mattered\nbut little to him.\nStill he had no right to sacrifice\nthe sailing master and the men because\na woman had made a fool of him. Ho\ndraw out a fresh cigar and lighted it\nfrom the stump of the one he had just\nconsumed-\nShe had made a fool of him. There\nwas no doubt of that. She had led him\non and on\u2014him, John Barrows Ferrol.\nthe conservative, the man who had al\nways vaunted that he was immune from\nthe wiles of woman and then she had\ntossed him aside calmly like any toy\nthat had lost its novelty.\nHe chewed his moustache nervously\nand swore under his breath. What sort\nof a spell had she cast over him. Ho\nought to hate her; yet in his inmost\nheart he knew that \"even now he loved\nher with all the intensity of his nature!.\nThe little islands slipped past, one by\none. The yacht ceased her wild plunging and entered the quiet water of the\nbay sedately. A few sharp orders from\nthe sailing master and the sails came\nratling down and the anchor dropped\niwlth a clatter of cable.\nBefore them the shore was dotted\nwith twinkling lights that shone cheer\nfully through the murky gloom of the\ngray twilight- The rain was beginning\nto fall In long slanting lines. Ferrol\nstood still by the rail smoking and ab\nsorbed fn his own bitter thoughts.\nHe would send her a message- He\nwould not let her know how deeply he\nwas hurt, but he would let her know\nthat he understood now the whole im\nport of their little affair. He turned to\nthe sailing master, who was going lie-\nlow; \"Order the gig lowered Mr. Mfl-\nGraw; 3'm going ashore.\"\nDuring the pull shoreward Ferrol\nwas turning over in bis mind the mes\nsage he would send and from somewhere in the archieves of his memory\ncame a quotation from Sir Launclot fit\nting his needs to- a nicety. It set him\nsmiling angrily as he sat In the stem\nsheets of the gig the tiller ropes in\neither hand.\nHe landed at the little pier and made\nhis way through the mud to the near\nest hotel-    At the telegraph desk he\nfilled out a blank:\nMiss Annette V. Morley. Hotel Jackson\nWanona Beach.\nFor a cap aud bells our lives we pay,\nBubbles we buy with  a whole soul's\ntasking.\nThen he went back to tlie yacht and\nsmoked a while, pacing the wet deck\nand finally went below. He tumbled on\nto a wide leather seat and went over\nit all again\u2014their walks, their drives,\ntheir little quarrels, tho happiness that\nhad been his until that last, bitter nighi\n\u2014until at last soothed by the monoto\nnous drip-drip of the rain be fell Into\na doze.\nHe was awakened by a hail from\nthe darkness outside. The tight was\nburning dimly. The brass chronometer\nabove the chart locker showed that it.\nwas nearly midnight- He hurried to\nthe deck an found a launch chafing\nalongside- \"This the Alfrlda?\" cried a\nvoice in the launch.\n\"Yes; what Is lt?\"\n\"Mr- Ferrol aboard?\"\n\"I am Mr. Ferrol\"\n\"Telegram for yon. sir.\" said a man\nscrambling aboard and handing him a\nyellow envelope addressed Mr. J.

Its possibilities are being\nrecognized by shrewd men of wealth\nin many ways\u2014railroad companies\nare buying -property, elevators are\n-contemplated and the shipping is increasing at a surprising rate. There\nare many practically undeveloped resources yet to be opened up.\nThere is scarcely a topic of larger\ngeneral Interest In the country than\nVancouver, and It is as much in the\npublic mind today as the goldflelds\nof Nevada were a few years ago.\nBut coming back to local things,\nthe best indication lies in the fact\nthat building operations continue and\narchitects are almost overwhelmed\nwith work. The law of supply and\nniand Is unbroken for no sooner Ib a\nnew building planned than dickering\nfor ItB occupancy at once begins.\nThis perhaps explains itself in the\nfact that not only are new firms\ncoming ln, but old ones are expanding.\nPresent realty prices are based on\na healthful demand, and are not at\nall of a frothy nature. To some lt\nmight occur that a boom is on, but\nnothing   is   further from the fact.\nValues are legitimate, and are the\ninevitable enhancement which comes\nwith time to all cities that have natural backing. The rise In values being conservative and gradual, there\nis no danger of reaction.\u2014Vancouver\nProvince, March 6, 3909.\nVANCOUVER   GOOD\nFOR   INVESTMENT\nSpokane Man   Declares  It  the  Best\nCity  He Knows of for a Buyer\nof Real Estate,\nBefore Howell W. Peel, a leading\nmerchant and property owner of\nSpokane, Wash., left for home last\nweek, utter spending several months\n\u2022in Vancouver, he paid this city a\nhigh compliment. Mr. Peel in Spokane Is considered a most sagacious\nbusiness man and by his shrewdness\nhas amassed a fortune in real estate,\nranch and business property. Said\nMr. Peel: Vancouver real estate offers the best opportunity to make\nmoney of any city I know. Were I\nnot so heavily interested in Spokane\nI would locate in Vancouver. During\nthe past five years many fortunes\nwere made In Spokane real estate. I\ncan recognize the same opportunities and indications here.\n\"Of course there always Is the\nchoice property    in   nny city with\nbacking, but really I do not believe\nthere is a piece of land in the entire\ncity that is not worth more money\nright now than is being asked.\"\u2014\nVancouver Province, Peb, 6, 1907.\nFUTURE OF  VANCOUVER.\nWhat  Chairman  Mabee   Says of  it-\nWill   Have  Half Million  Poupla-\ntlon in Twenty Years.\nIn an Interview given a Daily\nNews representative on Friday evening Hon. J. P. Mabee. chairman of\nthe railway commission, spoke most\nenthusiastically of the great development the British Columbia coast\nwill witness from now on. In this\nconnection he mentioned that while\nhe was in Vancouver, R. Marpole, executive ngent of the C. P.

It was  particularly\nIn connection with the shipping of\ngrain, cattle and other products of\nthe prairie provinces through Pacific\nports that Mr. Mabee spoke and he\nexpressed the opinion that when the\nPanama canal was completed these\nproducts from as far east as Reglna\nwould find their way to the world's\nmarkets through Vancouver and\nPrince Rupert.\nAfter stating his belief that Vancouver will have a population of half\na million in twenty-five years from\nnow Mr. Mabee remarked that the\nthroe prairie provinces could nnd\nwould provide all the business that\nthe shipping ports of both the east\nand the west could handle and there\nwas no need for fear or jealousy on\nthe part of eastern cities.\u2014Daily-\nNews, March 7, 1909.\nWATCH   VANCOUVER   GROW.\nPopulation\n1S90    12,000\n1000  '.  34,750\n1905    45,000\n1906   57,000\n1907    70,000\n1908     87,000\n1909   Nobody knows\nA word to the wise is sufficient.\nCall and let us show yon some lots\nwe have for sale, In Vancouver city\n(proper.)\nSome of these lots hnve been sold,\nso don't delay.

McMORRIS   Manager\nEDUCATING THE   EAST.\nAs time goes on It becomes more and\nmore .apparent that the people of Brit\nisli Columbia made no mistake In send\ning five opposition members to Ottawa.\nAlready they have done much to bring\nhefore the people of the east the true\nsituation In this province In regard to\ntlie orlntal question. Previous to the\nelections, the government found it con\nvenient to try to make it appear that\nthe feeling on this question in British\nColumbia was merely the result of the\nwork of political agitators, and in this\nwere assisted by the course pursued\nby the \"solid seven\" who represented\nthe province  in the  last  parliament.\nThe new house-has heen in session but\nn short time but already the effect of\nUie manner in which Messrs. Goodeve.\nBurrell, Cowan. Barnard nnd Taylor\nhave placed British Columbia's case\nbefore parliament, and also before the\npublic outside the walls of parliament\nis becoming apparent- The newspapers\nof tlie easl, for example, are at hist ha\nginning to look at tbe matter seriously\nand in doing so realize for the first\ntime that It is no mere political agita\ntion that is influencing the people of\ntbis province In this matter, hut that\nthe oriental suestion Is one involving\nthe supremacy of the white race west\nof the Rocky mountains. The Toronto\nStar, the junior liberal organ lor Obi\ntarlpi Is one of the papers that Bee3\nnew light In regard to the matter. It\nsays*.\n\"There are nearly 40.000 orientals iu\nBritish Columbia, over 17.000 of these\nbeing Chinese, nearly lti-000 Japanese\nand the balance Hindus. As the tot:tl\npopulation of the province Is only a\nlittle over 200.000. this means that\nnearly .a fifth of the whole are of tho\nyellow lace,\n\"It Is not surprising that the whites\nof the Pacific province view the situa\ntion with alarm- Thai situation Is seri\nous enough to demand attention not\nonly on the Pacific coast but In all\nCanada. When we have constantly hi\ntore our eyes the object lesson present\ned by the southern states as to what a\nrace problem (really fts we shall be\nblind, indeed, If we permit the yellow\nmenace in the west to become as grave\nas the black menace In 'the south is\nnow\"\nTh remarks of the Star will be gen\nerally endorsed by the people of Brit\nish Columbia.\nMESSRS.   PRESTON   AND   JACKSON.\nThe dominion government continues\nto look after the Interests of Messrs.\nVV. T. R- Preston and J. R. Jackson.\nMr. Preston, popularly known iu On\nlario as \"Hug-the-Machlne\" Preston-\nwas for years an active heeler of the\nliberal party In that province, while\nMr- Jackson achieved notoriety by his\nattempt to induce men to perjure them\nselves In order to unseal Mr, Donald\nSutherland, as member of the leglsla\nture for South Oxford.\nWhen Mr. Preston's record destroyed\nhis political usefulness he was ap\npointed dominion immigration agent\nfor the old country at a \\aXfte salary.\nOne scandal after another characierlz\ned his work there. He, for example,\nwas responsible for the North Atlantic\nTrading company and the Leopold\ntransactions. As a result of the disclos\ntires In parliament the government\nfound It advlable to remove Mr. Pres\nton from the Immigration service but\nthey gave him a berth as trade com\nmlssloner In the orient. Now he Is to\nbe transferred to Holland as trade com\nmlssloner and Mr. Jackson who was\nmade trade agent at Leeds, England,\nas a recompense for his work In con\nnection with the South Oxford protest\nproceedings, Is to succeed him at\nShanghai-\nThis Is the way in which the govern\nment at Ottawa encourages decency\nand honesty in the publi&\"*erv;cs.\nTHERE   SHOULD   BE   NO   STOP.\nDispatches tell of an American im\nmigration officer at Niagara Palls hav\ning turned back a Woodstock. Ontario\nstenographer on her way to Buffalo to\nresume her work In an office where\nshe had formerly been employed. This\nis but one instance of tbe many an\nnoyances thai are caused by the inter\nference of American immigration of\nfleers at the boundary.\nThe United States, like every other\nnation, has the absolute right to say\nwho shall or shall not enler the coun\ntry, but where so many mistakes are\nmade Is in the selection of men to act\nas Immigration officers, who are gener\nally appointed to these positions as a\nreward for ward service to their jwliti\ncal party. In many cases along the\nCanadian boundary the American imml\ngrailon officers are men whose chief\nanxiety is to show their authority and\nto  cause  Inconvenience.\nIn the case in question lhe young\nlady had already been employed on the\nAmerican side. She could not be said\nto be going to seek employment nor yet\nto be entering the country under con\ntract. It was merely a case of gross\nofficiousness.\nIf this thing keeps up there is'only\none thing lor Canada to do and that is\nto play the Americans at their own\ngame and institute a strict w,atch-\nalong the border for people coming\ninto this country to seek employment\nor under contract to work. If tha\nAmericans do not want Canadians in\ntheir country, it is all the better for\nCanada, for this country needs all her\nsons and daughters to assist in her up\nbuilding, but if \"this is to be the atti\nlude of the United States, the domln\nion government should see to It that\nthe opportunities offering at home are\nreserved for Canadians.\nEDITORIAL   NOTES.\nMr, iM, J. Butler, deputy minister of\nrailways and canals, talks more like a\nservant of the railways than as a Her\nvant of the people of Canada, who pay\nhim bis salary.\nMr. M- J. Butler, deputy minister of\nrailways and canals, says that many of\nthe level crossing fatalities on railway.}\nare due to the carelessness of the pub\nlie,  prefacing his   statement   hy 'the\nMILLIONS OF CELLS.\nTlie human body Is composed of\ncountless millions of cells.

March 10.\u2014James .).\nJeffries today received an invitation\nfrom Jack Johnson to meet him ln the\noffice of an attorney in this city to arrange a fight The Invitation wus\nhanded to Jeffries as he appeared In\na magistrate's court In answer to a\ncharge of spurring three exhibition\nrounds with his partner in a theatrical performance.\nThe note read as follows: \"My client, Jack Johnson, the world's heavyweight champion, desires me to announce to you that he Is willing to\nmeet you and arrange for a contest\nbetween  the champion  and  yourself.\"\nJeffries would not comment on the\nnote.\nThe charge which was made hy the\npolice was dismissed, Jeffries' attorney\ncontending that the sparring was part\nof the theatrical sketch.\nThe summonses on which James .1,\nJeffries ami James Solly, manager of\nthe theatre where Jeffries Is appearing, appeared In the police court to\nexplain why Jeffries Indulges In a spurring act on the stage of the theatre,\nwere served yesterday. The complaint\nwas that. Jeffries' sparring bout was a\nviolation of the law covering such exhibitions.\nWhen James J. Jeffries^ last evening\nwas shown an Associated\" Press interview with Jack Johnson Jn which the\nnegro champion declared himself ready\nand willing to meet \"Jeffries or any\nman in the world\" the big fellow only\ngrinned. The Victoria despatch was\nread to Jeffries, paragraph after paragraph with the loud*pedal on that part\nof it which had particular reference\nto him, hut after each pause the big\nCallforn.au rubbed his chin and muttered \"nothing to say.\" When that\npart In which Johnson declared that\ntalk of Jeffries still being the champion tired him, was read to Jeffries, he\nleaned against tho door of his dressing\nroom ami laughed. The parallel drawn\nbetween an ex-mayor and an ex-\nchamplon and the negro fighter elicited\na chuckle from Jeffries, but when ashed to dilate on the point, he refused,\nreiterating his stereotyped \"nothing to\nsny.\" The possibility of a match being\narranged between Johnson and Ketchell, mentioned in an interview, roused Jeffries out of his mutism, however.\n.He had the passage read to him twice\nand then remarked With a grunt \"Why,\nKetchell is II littlo bit of a fellow.\"\n\"You don't consider ft likely, then,\"\nJeffries was asked, \"that Johnson and\nKetchell will ever be matched?\"\n\"I don't know.\" he replied, \"and I\ndon't care. I have refused to say anything concerning that party, and I ain't\ngoing to say anything except when I\nget good and ready.\"\n\"Uy that party, you mean Johnson?\"\n\"I do.\"\nIt was then explained to the retired\nchampion that his persistence in_al-.\nlowing his attitude in the matter of a\nmatch with Johnson to remain a mystery\nwould encourage the negro champion\nto Issue pronouncements und challenges at every place. To this Jeffries\nlaconically remarked:  \"Let him.\"\nThe news of a parade being held in\nGalveston in honor of Johnson almost\ndrew an impulsive reply from Jeffries.\nHe checked himself, however, and the\ngrin became a sneer.\nFOURTH  ROUND OF CUP TIE.\nThree Out of the  Four Games Were\nPlayed Yesterday.\n(Canadian Aasoclated PresBl\nLONDON.
