R.\nBOARD Of MANAGEMENT\nHON. GEORGE P. GRAHAM GIVE8\nHOUSE OF COMMONS LONG\nTALK ON REASONS WHY INTERCOLONIAL D0E8 NOT PAY\nITS  WAY.\nOTTAWA, March 16\u2014The principal\nfeature of today's session of .the noufie\nof commons was the annual statement\nof the minister of railways in reference\nto the Intercolonial, Up to the end of\nthe speech, over two hours, Hon. O. P-\nGraham's efforts did not dlfer materially from those of his many predecessors, being an attempt to sfoow why\nthe government road did not pay. At\nthe end. however, he made some interesting -announcements. What, he asked, was to be done with the road. It\nwas getting into a rut The crown\nwas not. prepared to say that it was a\nfailure as a railway and the people objected to the road being disposed of.\nThey had therefore decided to establish a board of management not responsible to parliament but to <the minister.\nOn this it was proposed to place high\nofficials, J. M. Butler, deputy minister\n-of railways and canals, and one official from one of the great railways\nnot necessarily a, very high salaried\nman. but a man of good practical railway sense. This board would keep the\nminister informed as to what was so-\ning on and thereby the managing minister and the department would be relieved of a host of minor and petty details which should never have gone to\nlhe general office in Montreal. The\n\u25a0board would have power to-settle the\nmajority of questions without referring\nthem to the department at all.. The\nproposal was welt received on the government side of the house.\nMr. -Graham also dealt with the proposition to lease the Intercolonial and\nthe purchase of branch lines. He\nthought that the Intercolonial must in\nfuture be bound up with some other\nline with western connection or forever remain a local road- It could not\nexpect anything from the C.P.R. or\nG.T.P., which were competitive. The\ntime was not far distant when the line\nwould have to be extended or leased to\nsome railway company that would\nadopt business methods. Last year the\nCanadian railways had dismissed 17.-\n000 employee, but the Intercolonial had\nnot done that. With a wave of his\nband he dismissed the suggestion that\nit would have been unpoiitic to have\ndismissed men with the general election right at hand.\nAnother interesting statement was in\nregard to the purchase of supplies for\nthe road by public tender. Public tenders were all right In theory but they\ndid not work out so well In practice.\nThe Intercolonial placed Its business\nwith those who save it business. If it\nadopted the public tender policy, it\nmerely meant that it would not receive the business It now gets from it\u00ab\ncustomers.\nThe road should be made a transcontinental line, a remark which drew\nloud applause from the opposition.\nHon. John Haggart following Mr.\nGraham, said there was no good reason\nfor continuing the open capital account\non the Intercolonial. The current year\nwould bring the capital expenditure on\nthe road up to one hundred millions\nand while the people of Ontario had no\nobjection to the Intercolonial, they insisted that it should be properly managed. Mr. Graham -said the road did\nnot pay because the freight rates were\ntoo low. Was that good management?\nThe people would not have any confidence in the proposed board of management He had no faith In commissions.\nR. L. Borden said he understood the\nrates on the Intercolonial were Just as\nhigh as they were on other Canadian\nrailways- He would like to know whero\nthe rates were lower, -lie chief difficulty with tbe Intercolonial was that\nin the past it had been too closely tied\nup to political pull and patronage. A\ngood man placed ln charge without any\nbonds would make the Intercolonial\npay. In 1908 the minister of railways\nhad based his argument on the ground\nthat the Intercolonial would get no\ntraffic from the G.T.P., This was by\nno means the stand taken by the government in 1903 The stand taken was\nthat tbe I.C-R. had all it could do and\nMr. Sifton had drawn a picture of what\nwould happen if the I.C.B. were burdened with all the traffic which Vhe\nG.T.P. would bring down from the\nwest. Mr. Graham's attitude he said\nwas the best possible demonstration\nof the absolute futility of the G.T.P.\ncontract.\nIn the senate today there was a discussion on Mr- McMillan's bill to amend\nthe Conciliation act. It had for Its purpose the keeping out of American labor agitators, who might come to Canada and Incite, a strike. These American agitators had power to embarrass\nCa^vlian industries. Canadian unions\nshould be trusted to look after themselves. The bill was severely criticized\nby several senators. Senator Dandur-\nand pointed out that a labor leader can\ndo bis work as eftectively when It\ncame to calling a strike by letter or\ntelegram and he could make use of\nboth, in the end. the bill was killed on\nft vote of 21 to 19.\nThe bills respecting the Grand Trunk\nunion station at Portage la Prairie, the\nSalisbury & Alberta railway, the B. C.\n& Manitoba railway company, the Kootenay & Alberta railway company and\nthe bank of Ottawa, were read a third\ntime.\nSTRIKE IS INEFFECTIVE\nFRENCH       TELEGRAPHER8      ARE\nNEARLY ALL AT WORK. \\\nGALLIC      GOVERNMENT      TAKING\nSTRANG MEASURES.\nPARIS, March 16\u2014The general strike\nof the telegraph, telephone and mall\nemployees of the state, voted with so\nmuch enthusiasm last night, Is turning\nout today to be anything but -effective\nand uiiioss mere should -come some\nsudden change for the worse lt promises\nto be of short duration.\nAn overwhelming majority of the\nday shifts in all the branches of the\nservice reported for duty this morning.\nHundreds of men who were present at\nthe meetings last night, apparently had\nconcluded, after sleeping over the matter that they would not run the risk\nof losing permanent employment\n\u25a0Nevertheless the various services are\nmore or less crippled or dmorallzed\ntoday. The main defections occurred\n. In the telegraph and railway services-\nAt the central telegraph offices most\nof the operators are this morning sitting beau.,, ...eh- keys with eras,\narms on the pretense that their instruments are out of order. The telephone\nsystem appears to be working normally\nbut the deliveries of mall occur with\nsome delay.\nThe government, shows no signs of\ngiving In. On the contrary, M- Slmyan,\nunder secretary of posts and tele-\ngrapns. announced this morning that\nsuch ia revolt on the part oi the servants of the state cannot be tolerated-\n'Every ofieial refusing to work or disobeying the regulations will be summarily suspended and dismissed without the usual appearance before a\ncourt of discipline. There is reason to\nbelieve that the cabinet at its regular\nmeeting today will temporarily forbid\nfurther meetings of postal employees\non the ground that such.gatherings endanger the public service.\nREAL ESTATE DEMAND\nMANY INQUIRIES FOR FRUIT LAND\nBEING  MADE.\nADVANCE GUARD OF BUYERS HAS\nALREADY ARRIVED.\nThat the coming season will see the\ngreatest business In orchard lands on\nrecord in the Kootenay is the concensus of opinion of the brokers of this\ncity. Already a small advance guard\nof buyers have arrived In Nelson and\nhundreds of Inquiries have been received. Hundreds of people, in fact have\nassured local brokers of their intention\nof visiting Nelson this summer with\nthe object of examining the fruit lands\nof the dis'tnet\nIn city property, however, the general\nopinion is that there will be no very\nmarked movement this year. The reasons advanced for this are the peculiar\nsituation of iNelson. in which a very\nlarge percentage of people own their\nhomes and do not put them on the market unless they are leaving the city,\nand the fact that owners are not anxious to sell. Prices remain firm, but\nthe .prospects of any large movement\nare slender It is agreed, however that\nth operation of the street railway would\nput a great deal of life into the market\nfor city and suburban property.\nRegarding outside property McDermld\n& McHardy said that they expected a\nbig movement a little later in the season. Land seekers were already arriving and there bad been a great deal\nof inquiry.\nThe Kootenay Orchard company stated that they had just finished sending\nout literature to 12.000 people. Between\n300 and 400 people had already written\nthe firm expressing their intention of\ncoming and some had already decided\nto buy in the Kootenay Owing to the\npromised demand for fruit lands the\ncompany had opened up Fruitvale in\n1907. and last year opened up Arrow\nPark, on the Arrow lakes, and has determined -\"is year to open up 6000\nacres of land at Fosthatl, on the Upper\nArrow lake, commencing about six\nmiles north of Nakusp. This property\nJncluudes one of the oldest orchards\nin West Kootenay, the tract having\nbeen pre-empted by a Mr. Harlow some\n15 years ago and planted in fruit. The\nsplendid condition of this old orchard\nand its prouotlveness are an object lesson In the possibilities of the district\nthat the firm relies on to some extent\nto illustrate to Investors what can be\ndone in horticulture in Kootenay.\nJ. E. Annable reports a great many\ninquiries from the prairies. A number\nof his clients have arrived In the city\nfrom th\u00a7 neignborhood of (Lethbridge,\nbut owing to the fact that the snow Is\nnot yet off they cannot go on the land\nat present. The winter had been quiet\n,in real estate but he believed that the\npresent would be the biggest year in\norchard lands that the Kootenays had\never witnessed-\nWolverton and company, p. b. Lys,\n8.

It is axiomatic,\" the speaker continued, \"that Great Britain should have\nto maintain a navy, sufficiently strong\nto ensure Britain's shores from invasion, the empire from hostile attempts\nand trade from destruction In time of\nwar,\n\"The limits of the navy must be fixed by the progress of foreign powers.\nSeveral powers are rapidly developing\ntheir naval strength at the present moment, but not one a't & pace to be compared with Germany-\"\nMr. McKenna explained that he only\nselected Germany as a standard by\nwhich to measure British requirements\nfor arithmetic purposes and be did no't\npresume to any expression of feeling or\nopinion except one of respectml admiration for Germany's administration and\nprofessional efficiency. The present\ndifficulty of the government lay in the\nfact that It did not know the rate at\nwhich German construction was going\non. It was estimated that 13 German\nDreadnoughts and Jnvincibles might he\ncompleted by li)n as against 12 Dreadnoughts and 4 Invincibles which Great\nBritain would have by November, 1911.\nIf Germany accelerated her work she\nwould have 19 of these ships by April,\n1912. Great Britain could not afford to\ntake risks and if she was to maintain\nber superiority the admiralty must be\nin a position to obtain tho delivery of\nfour additional Dreadnoughts by March.\n1912, thus giving Great Britain 27 to\nGermany's possible 17. In conclusion\nMr. McKenna said he considered that\nthe maintenance of suprlority depended\nupon superiority in Dreadnoughts alone.\nThe dramatic revelation of Reginald\n\u25a0McKenna, first lord of the admiralty,\nin parliament today of Germany's extraordinary development in her capacity to build big battleships rapidly,\nseems likely to mark a crisis in Great\nBritain's naval history. Quite certainly\nit will thoroughly arouse and alarm\nthe country as to the possibility of\nEngland maintaining her naval supremacy. When the debate on the navy\nestimates was concluuded ft hurried\nmeeting was called of the members of\nthe house representing the \"small\nnavy\" navy at which the situation thus\nunexpectedly revealed hy ithe debate,\nwas discussed. No decision was reached but the speeches showed that little\nmore will be heard of cheese paring so\nfar as the navy is concerned. On the\ncontrary it seems that the government\nwill be strongly urged by the majorl'-y\nof the members of their own party to\nmake the \"conditional\" program for additional Dreadnoughts, an absolute\nbuilding program.\nThe building program becomes as Mr.\nBalfour pointed out in today's speech,\nwhich greatly impressed the house, a\nquestion not of maintenance of a hwo\npower, but of maintaining \u00bb one power\nstandard In first class battleships, \"I\nam forced,\" said Mr. Balfour, \"to the\nconclusion that now for the very first\ntime in modern history we are fac\u00ab\nto face with a naval situation so dangerous that it Is difficult for us to real-\niez all its Importance.\" \u2022 .\nMr Balfour declared that according\nto bis Information, which he challenged\n(Mr McKenna to refute, Germany had\nlaid down eight Dreadnoughts and she\nwas several months in advance of her\nprogram If Germany continued at the\nsame rate, he said, the relative position\nof the two nations in 1912 would be\nGreat Britain 20 Dreaunoughts and\nGermany 21, or, if the Germans adopt\nGreat Britain's new policy of collecting\nmaterial and armaments before hand,\nGermany would have 25 Dreadnoughts.\nMr. McKenna questioned the figures\nas being beyond Germany's construction power, but Mr. Balfour retorted\nthat it was difficult to tell what the Ger\nman's were doing\nThe sensation caused by the debate\nis reflected by all the editorials this\nmorning (March 17) irrespective of\nparty. The liberal organs make a feeling attempt to justify the government's\nprogram as adequate, but apparently\nwith considerable misgivings. The\nmatter ' was warmly discussed In the\nlobby of the house and the very general\nopinion was held that the government\nwould be supported In their program.\nAeroplanes and War Office.\nLONDON.

When they got\nready to open the sewer in an effort\nto find the missing revolver, it started\nto snow and the men refused to work\nin the snow, so lt was decided to call\nthe digging operations off for the day.\nST.

The successful party in the late\nelection is pledged to a revision of the\ntariff. The country and business community especially expect it. The prospect of a change In the rates of Import duties always causes suspicion or\nhalt In business because of tho uncertainty as to changes to be made and\ntheir effect. It fs therefor of tbe highest Importance that the new bill should\nbe agreed upon and passed with as\nmuch speed ns possible, consistent with\nUs due and thorough consideration. For\nthese reasons I have deemed the pres-\nsent to be an extraordinary occasion\nwithin the meaning of the constitution\nand justifying and requiring the calling\nof an extra session. In my inaugural\naddress I stated In a summary way,\nthe principles upon which in my judgment the revision of the tariff should\nproceed, and indicated at least one new\nsource of revenue tbat might be properly resorted to In order to avoid a\nfuture deficit. It is not necessary for\nme to repeat what I then said. I venture to suggest that the vital business\ninterests of the country require that\nthe attention of the congress in this\nsession be chieffy devoted to the consideration of the new tariff bill, und\nthat the less time given to other legislation in this session, the better for\nthe country.\n\"(Signed)    WILLIAM H.

The situation is officially\nadmitted to be extremely grave although not hopeless.\nThe emperor received baron Von Ash-\nrenthal, the Austrian-Hungarian minister of foreign affairs, and Dr. Went-\nerled, the Hungarian premier, with\nwhom he conferred at length on Ser-\nvla's unsatisfactory reply to the Aus-\ntro-Hungarian note of March 6. As a\nresult of this conference Austria will\ndespatch a note to Servia before the end\nof the week demanding a clear 'explanation of Servia's intentions.\nIn the meantime, to emphasize this\ndemand, the Oti battalions now on a\npeace footing in Bosnia will be raised\nto a war footing which is equivalent to\nan additional 40,000 men. Action in\nthis direction has already been taken\nby the war office and it was this that\nled to the rumors of mobilization,\nwhich the government took occasion\nyesterday to officially deny. Public\nopinion is greatly excited and the belief is strong among Austrians that\ntbe country on the eve of war.\nThroughout, the dual monarchy there\nIs a violent feeling against the British,\nRussian and French policy, which has\nthe appearance of backing up Servia's aspirations. Tbe uneasiness has\nbeen increased by tbe fact that the\nnewspapers have been forbidden to\npublish anything concerning the military prepartlons.\nBERLIN, March 16.\u2014Advices received at the foreign office today concerning the strained relations between\nAustria-Hungary and Servia indicate\nthat the crisis Is still la an acute\nstage.\nit is affirmed that Austria-Hungary\nis about to make another effort at\nBelgrade with a view to bringing Servia's views in accord with her own.\nThe nature of these representations is\nnot disclosed, but it can be said that\nthe dual monarch will demand a clear*\nexplanation of Servia's intention. Officials say ihat if Servia secedes from\nher position the negotiations will pursue a peaceful course but if not hostilities are inevitable and the only task\nof the powers will be to localize the\nconflict.\nThe report that Turkey will demand\nan explanation of Servia's intentions\nwith regard to the large quantities of\nwar material now lying at Salonik! has\nbeen officially confirmed. Should the\nreply be unsatisfactory an embargo\nwill be placed upon them.

G. Leckie of Sudbury, who was\nfor many years associated with the\nmanagement of the big mines at Cop-\npercllff, and who is one of the greatest\nauthorities of the day on nickel production and its uses, announces important discoveries near Gowganda of\nhlckedite mineral of richer ore than\npyrrhotite, iu which, up to the present, tlie largest percentage of high-\ngrade nickel has been found, says the\nMontreal Herald.\nMr. Leckie, who Is here attending\nthe meetings of the Mining Institute,\nhas just come up from New Haven,\nwhere he was present at the meeting\nof the American Institute of Mining\nEngineers, which was presided over by\nDr. .lames Douglas, formerly of Quebec, and one of the leading metallurgists on the continent\u2014a meeting which\nproved most successful and interesting\nto mining men.\nSpeaking to a Herald representative\nof nickel production in general, Mr.\nLeckie said it was suffering In common\nwith all metal industries from the\nslowness of demand and sagging conditions. The Canadian Copper Company at Copper Cliff is still the largest\nproducer of nickel in the world, and\ntlie next largest is the Socicte Nickel,\nin the far-away old French penal settlement of New Caledonia, In the\nSouthern Paclfle.\nHetween these two companies,\nwidely separated as they are, there is\na perfect understanding as to tbe\nquantity of nickel to be put on the\nmarket yearly, so that the available\nsupply shall always be well within tbe\ndemand, and the result of tbis understanding Is that prices are maintained\nat the top notch. Nickel remains and\nis likely to continue a most Important\nfactor In the production of armor plate\nand shafting for men of war. and if\nthe British government decides to\nbuild six new Dreadnaughts that are\nconsidered necessary for the maintenance of (lie two-power standard in\nthe navy, there will be briskness in\nnickel production. The talk of Uie\nlarge augmentation of the German\nfleet would probably result in a very\nslight addition to the fighting power\nof Germany on the sea, as that country, with its vast expenditure on the\nstanding army it wus obliged to keep\nup, had little money to spend on new\nbattleships.\n\"Do you think there is any likelihood of nickel being largely introduced in the construction of the best\nclass of steamers for the mercantile\nmarine, as is sometimes reported?\"\nMr. Leckie was asked.\n\"Not until  the  price  Is cheapened.\"\nreplied   Mr.   Leckie.    'The    producers\ncould  afford  to decrease    the    price,\nthough, and gain by the increased consumption that would  inevitably arise.\"\n\"Then why don't they do It \"\n\"Well, tbey take the narrower view.\"\n\"There has been talk of new discoveries that may break the, monopoly to\nsome extent.   Do these amount, to very\nmuch?\"\n\"Yes, some large bodies of ore have\nbeen found In What is called the north\nrange, about thirty miles nortli of Sudbury, but they have not y.*t. been developed. They have been tested, bow-\never, both on the surface and by diamond drill, and Will probably be largely\ndeveloped In the coming spring. -I. It.\nBooth of Ottawa and Jamea Macfadden\nof the Sot) and some other large capitalists are interested in these entre-\nprises.\"\n\"You do not think there will be a\nreduction iu tbe price until ft conies\nabout by tlie exigencies of competition, do you?\"\n\"It does not happen as a rule. Yon\nmay notice the rail manufacturers are\nholding out for $28 per ton, although\nthey could sell at u good profit at $2'.'..\nIt was tbe same with aluminum\u2014a\nmost useful metal for purposes of alloy.

The\nprlf.e, as a consequence, has been reduced almost to half\u2014and aluminum\nhas come Into much more extended\nuse.\"\nWith regard to tbe gold discoveries\nnear Elk City, Mr, Leckie said the\nmines were showing very favorable\nresults and two stamp mills were at\nwork.\nSuccessful Duellist.\nEISENACH.

G. Procter returned on the Uossland train Monday after his trip to\nthe cost cities and Spokane. Mr!\nProctor stated that Vancouver was going through a great real estate movement, and that it showed promise of\nultimately becoming the finest city In\nthe dominion . Mr. Proctor attended\nthe late meeting at Victoria between\nthe government, the fruit.growers and\nthe C. P. R. and Dominion Express\ncompanies. At the conference he was\none of the strongest advocates of\ncooled storage machinery at distributing centers in the northwest, and was.\nIn fact, tbe flrst person to bring the\nmatter before the meeting. In bringing foth this Idea Mr. Procter pointed\nout that cooled storage warehouses at\nRegina, Calgary and other distributing\npoints would solve the question of the\nprevention of the fruit being forced on\ntin; market at any price the dealers\nwould pay to the growers .who had in\npast years frequently been compelled\nto sell at a loss In order to prevent\ntheir fruit from rotting after arrival\nfrom the west. It will be recalled\nthat Hon. R. G. Tallow promised that\nthe matter should be brought before\ntbe government with a view of making some such arrangement.\nWith regard to the new hospital\nbuilding, Mr. Procter said that the\ndispatches sent from Victoria were incorrect, inasmuch as it was stated that\nthe government had promised to make\na grant of 50 per cent of tbe money\nraised In other quarters. The promise\nof the government, said Mr. Proctor,\nwas to do with Nelson, as they done\nIn the ease of Vernon, which was to\nsupply a sum of money equal to that\ncollected. For instance, If $30,000 Is\ngotten together In Nelson the government will make a grant of another\n$30,000.\nAsked, after speaking of the progress of Vancouver, if he had any Intentions ot\" going into Lhe real estate\nbusiness in that city, Mr. Proctor replied in the following terms, which\nleft no doubt as to his faith in the\ncity of which he has been one of the\nmost progressive upbiiilders; \"No,\nNelson's good enough for me.

With the championship this\nyear goes tbe handsome Cornwall cup.\nThe first of the two games was played here last Wednesday night, being\nwon by Sandon by a score of 7-2. It\nwas a flrst class game, the Ice being ln\nexcellent condition. Slocan drew first\nblood, McMillan scoring after five\nminutes' play. Following this Sandon\ntallied three times, Tyo, Bloomfield and\nTier each doing the trick once, Just\nbefore half time McMillan scored again\nfor Slocan, leaving the half time score\n3-2 In favor of the home players,\nThe second hair was rougher than\nthe flrst and Pinchbeck and Tier were\nsent to the fence for slashing and tripping. The play, however, was all In\nfavor of the Sandon team, the players\non which gave some excellent exhibitions of combination work.

Shortly\nafterwards he was sent to the fence\nfor putting Pinchbeck into the boards\nThe seventh goal for Sandon was\nscored by Davis after a beautiful unassisted rush. The final score in this\ngame was 7-2 in favor of Sandon\nThe stars of the Slocan team were\nHicks and Tarns. It would hardly be\nfair to individualize In regard to the\nSandan team. Every member of the\nteam played a good game, the forwards\nchecking back particularly well, but it\nIs only fair to say that one of tile surprises of the evening waa Tyo, who is\njust finishing his first year at hockey.\nHe is particularly invaluable on the\nforward line,\nThe line-up of tbe teams was as follows :\nSandon Slocan\nGOAL\nW. Sattrie C. Tains\nPOINT\nP. McDonell J. Pinchbeck\nCOVERPOINT\nA. W. Davis iW. Hicks\nROVER\nG. H. Hope E. Tipping\nCENTRE\nEd. Bloomfield G. N. Knechtel\nRIGHT WING\nJ. Tier R.

Milburg, Sandon; penatty time-keeper, H. Cameron,\nSandon.\nThe second game was played the following night, Thursday, and both teams\nshowed the effects of the previous\nnight's match while the ice was also\nmuch softer. Tyo opened the scoring\nfor Sandon by a long shot from the\nside and Bloomfield scored the second\non a pass from the corner. The first\ngoal for Slocan was the result of n\nmix-up at the sides of the net, Terry\nbatting the puck through. Then Bloomfield made a pretty rush down the ice\nand passed the puck to Hope, who located the net, but the goal did not\ncount as It was offside. Shortly after\nthis Knechtel was sent to the fence\nlor cross-checking Hope. The half ended 2-1 in favor of Sandon.\nSlocan started out In the second half\nto pull down their opponents' lead, and\nHicks, after a pretty rush down the ice,\ntallied. There was a dispute over the\nnext goal counted for Slocan. It was\nclaimed that McMillan's shot was high\nand, hitting the end of the rink, bounded back hitting the net and causing the\numpire to think that the puck had hit\nthe net from the oilier side. However\nthat may he, the referee allowed the\ngoal. The third goal in succession for\nSlocan inside of six minutes was scored by Knechtel on a long shot. Things\nbecame exciting for a few minutes then,\nthe Sandon team being Invited by their\nsupporters to \"wake up.\" This they\ndid, McDonell tailing the puck the\nlength of the ice nnd negotiating the\nnet. Tyo about this time was sent to\nthe fence for body checking. Following this Hope was tripped and laid out\nbut tiie referee did not see this incident and no punishment was inflicted.\nDuring the next few minutes Tarns,\nthe Slocan goal keeper, was called upon to stop many shots and in each\ncase showed himself equal to the occasion, until Tier managed to get one\npast him, tying the score by a long\nshot. There remained only four minutes more to play during which there\nwas no more scoring, the result of the\nscore being 4-4. Sandon thus won the\nseries by a majority of four goals, the\nlead secured in Wednesday's match.\nThe referee, R. A. Wood of New\nDenver, gave entire satisfaction to\nboth teams. He was strict but he was\nfair.\nAfter Thursday evening's game the\nSandon team entertained their opponents to a supper and hall in the opera\nhouse.\nAGAIN DEFEATS HAYES.\nDorando Beats Marathon Winner in\nThird Race.\nNEW YORK, March 16.\u2014Before ten\nthousand spectators, a large majority\nof whom were his compatriots, Dorando\nPeitri last night defeated Johnny\nHayes In the rubber match for Marathon supremacy. The race was at the\nregulation distance, 26 miles 385 yards,\nand was run over a ten lap track in\nMadison Square garden. Both men\nwere In excellent condition.

In the seventeenth mile\nDorando started a heart breaking sprint\nwhich Hayes was unable to follow\nand before half a mile had been run\ntbe foreigner had gained a lap. Again\nln the eighteenth, after he had taken\na breathing spell, the Italian again set\nout a pace Hayes wns unable to follow\nand annexed another lap. Thence forward to t|he finish Dorando merely\nJogged behind Hayes winning the race\nby two laps in easy fashion.\nHayes won the pole. Sheriff Tom\nFoley sent them away.

The\nrunners passed the second mile mark\nin ten minutes 45 seconds, which is 36\nseconds better than the time made on\nThanksgiving eve by them. Dorando\nstill was slightly in the lead and Hayes\npermitted him to do the pacing throughout the third and fourth miles. The\ntime at the finish of the third mile\nwas 16.20 and at the en dof the fourth\nmile 22. minutes Hat. Both Dorando\nand Hayes were running easy at the\nfifth mile and what betting there was,\nwas at evenB. Hayes was trailing two\nyards behind the Italian at this point\nIn the race. The time for the five\nmiles was 27.38. Dorando also led at\nthe end of the sixth mile, but In tbe\nfirst lap of the seventh Hayes sprinted\nand took the lead. Amid loud cheering\ntlie American circled the trnck at a\nrapid pace but then slowed down and\nDorando agnin went to the front.\nThe time for the ten miles wns 56\nminutes and 46 seconds. In the fourteenth mile the runners several times\nchanged positions but the Italian led\nHayes across the line at the end of\nthe mile. Dorando also held the lead\nat the end of the 15th, the time being\n1.27.25. After finishing the sixteenth\nmile in 1.33.20 Dorando sprinted and\nlapped Hayes Insldo of half a mile,\nDorando's time for seventeen miles,\n1.39.22 2-5 was the fastest for the distance ever run. ln America, During the\neighteenth   mile   Dorando gained an-\nFresh Ranch Eggs\nGood for frying,   good   for  boiling,\ngood enough   for   you, cock-a-doodle\ndo.\n40c per dozen.\nGood Dairy Butter\nin bricks.\n3 poundi for $1.\nJoy will meet you at the door.\nJoy's Cash Grocery\nCorner of Josephine and Mill Streets.\nP.

PATRICK'S DAY.\nToday is tlie seventeenth of March,\nknown as St. Patrick's day and as such\ncelebrated tlie world over by all loyal\nsons and daughters of the Emerald\nIsle. Millions of people in Ireland and\nIn various parts of the world will today show their devotion to the land of\ntheir ancestors by the wearing of the\ngreen. Where possible \"inis green will\nconsist of a sprig of shamrock, so dear\nto 'the heart of Irishmen; where this\nIs not available a green token of some\nkind or another will take its place; in\nevery Irish heart will be love for old\nIreland, the vicissitudes of whose fortunes doub.y endear her to her people-\nALBERTA RAILWAYS.\nA. few days ago an obviously inspired\nparagraph relating to the railway policy\nof the liberals ln the province of Alberta came through ou the wires with\nthe regular telegraph new service of\nThe Dally News and was published in\ntne ordinary course. The dispatch\nstafed that we --.'i>eita government,\nwhich is now appealing to the people\nof the neighboring province for reelection, had guaranteed thp bonds of\ncertain branch lines to be built in the\nprovince, chiefly by the G-T.P. and the\nCanadian Nortuern railways, to the extent of twenty-live million dollars, and\nthat the province would as a result be\ngrldlroned with railways, while, and\nthis is the important point.. In return\nfor Its guarantee the Alberta government bad such a mortgage on these\ntwo great roads 'that their whole systems, in fact the whole railway system of Canada, must go bankrupt before the province could be called upon\nto pay one cent of the guarantee. This.\nif true, would certainly have keen a\nmost magnificent bargain for the government, and It is thus that the government has represented the bargain\nto the public of Alberta. But unfortunately, it is too good to be true and an\nexamination of the original bills seems\nto place the Alberta government In\nthe position of ..aviug attempted to deceive the public as to the nature of\nthe bargain made. Unfortunately, owing to the pculinr methods used to prevent full discussion of the works of the\ngovernment, such as the sudden\nspringing of the election, the reorganization and increase in the number of\nconstituencies, with the failure to supply copies of iiie bills relating to this\nrailway policy until within the past\nfew days, it is likely that the deception will be very largely accomplished.\nSince the receipt of the dispatch mentioned at the beginning of this article-\nTh Dally News has had an opportunity\nof perusing the original bills- In '.he\nfirst place it may be pointed out that,\nwith the exception of the Edmonton\n& Fort MoMurray line, 350 miles long,\nthe amount guaranteed on which-is $7,-\n400,000 exclusive of Interest, there is\nabsolutely no control of rates provided\nfur In connection with this ?2ri.000.000\nguarantee, with interest at 4 and ii per\ncent payable half yearly.\nThe folly of giving such a big guarantee without securing any control of\nrates, is sufficiently obvious, but when\nin addition to this, the security of the\nprovince, so far fram being as represented by the Rutherford government,\nis really almost non-existent, the people of Alberta cannot be congratulated\non the kind of bargain that has been\nmade for them. As a matter of fact\nthose clauses in the original bills that\nmake the G.T.P. and the C.N.R.\nsystems as a whole responsible for the\nguarantee have been struck out. They\nare not there any longer. Furthermore\ncertain subsidiary corporations that at\npresent have little or nothing to pledge\nare made responsible.\nTbe C.N.R. has received a guarantee of bonds for tne construction of 940\nmiles of road, the guarantee covering\nthe principal and interest at 4 per cent\nof the legislature may be increased\nto $15,000. The guarantee runs for 30\nyears. The G.T-P. Branch Lines company's guarantee is for a similar\n-amount, on the same terms, mileage\n491 miles, part of the C.N.R. lines\nare to be built by the alberta Midland\nRailway company, which by the terms\nof the bill must amalgamate with the\nCanadian Northern before the bonds eve\nguaranteed. The G.T.P, lines are to\nbe built by the Grand Trunk Pacific\nBranch Lines company, but they are to\nbe operated by the G.T.P. The only\nconditions imposed are that the roads\nmust be built to a standard not inferior\nto the C.N.R. main line and that a\ncertain mileage must be completed by a\ncertain date- The road from Edmonton to Fort MacKenzle is guaranteed\nfor $20,000 a mile at 5 per cent for 50\nyears and is ostensibly an independent\nline.\nTnis, then, is the bargain in railroad\nbuilding about which the Rutherford\ngovernment has been boasting so loudly and which it has represented to the\npublic In such glowing colore. It claims\na covenant guarantee in the cases of\nthe G.T.P. and the C.N.R. which is\nnot in either act. A groat portion of\nthe branch lines are to be built by subsidiary companies that have nothing to\nrisk, and even if the whole systems of\nthe two big companies were pledged by-\ncovenant guarantee included in a deed\nof trust but not in the act, and even If\nsuch a guarantee, not being in the act,\ncould be made to hold, the fact then\nremains that the foreign bond holders\nin Britain and elsewhere, have first\nclaim, the dominion government has\ntwo first and two second liens covering most of the systems, and Manitoba\nand Saskatchewan have previous claims\non those parts of the systems contained in their borders. If the question of\nauiety to pay the interest on the bonds\never arises it looks very much as If\nAiueria , would tbe quite welcome to\nwhat it could get alter all these other\nparties had been satisfied and it does\nnot look as if the Rutherford government had very much to congratulate\nitself or the people of Alberta un in\nthe way of the railway policy it has so\nfar shaped.\nBefore leaving the subject, however,\nthe fact should be mentiond that on\nth last day of the session of the Alberta legislature, which was so suddenly ended, the government rushed\nthrough the Alberta house a section of a\nbill 'Uo further amend the Statute law,\"\nwhich exempts all guaranteed bonds\nfrom taxation for a period of 16 years\nof the guarantee term and places the\ntaxation per mile for the next 15 years:\nat $30 per mile. As the rate fixed In\nAlberta by an act or 1906 Is $200 per\nmile, or 2 per cent on a valuation of\n$10,000 per mile, it can easily be seen\nwhat this exemption means to the railway companies,\nEDITORIAL   NOTES.\nThe Ottawa government lias met the\ndesire In British Columbia for a resident agent in this province to administer the lands in the railway belt in\nthis province belonging to the dominion\nby opening an office In Revelstoke and\nplacing Mr. William James Watson, late\nmember of the house of commons for\nParry Sound, Ontario. ln charge of It-\nWas there no British Columbia man\nwho could have filled the position?\nThe top of the morning to you,\nNew Schools 'for Saskatoon.\nSASKATOON, March 16 \u2014 The high\nschool board has selected Louis park,\non the east side of the traffic bridge,\nas the site for the new $100,000 collegiate Institute, the building of which\nwill be commenced without delay.

However, the proposition\nis md dead yet und apart from resumption\nnf shipping hy the Le Rol, changed conditions resulting: In an increase In the\navailable supply of custom ores might\ncause the smelter to stnrt up again. 1\nam sorry we have had to shut down, partly because of the regret that has been expressed by those who have heen shipping\nto us, and partly\" smiling, \"because It\nremoves a friendly and healthy rivalry between the smelters of the district.\"\nNBLSON   LAND   DISTRICT.
