He lapsed Into\ncoma at 3 o'clock this afternoon and\nnever recovered consciousness.\nWorn Out by Grief.\n- It was tbe -end of a man outworn by,\ngrief and acute agony of body. Yesterday was a bad day for the little knot\nof anxious watchers at. the bedside.\nFor long hours the grey aquiline feat*\nurea lay as molded In the Inertia of\n\u25a0 death. The pulse sank lower and\nlower but late at night the patient\npassed from stupor Into the first nat*\n' ural sleep he had taken since he returned -from Bermuda and this morning awoke refreshed, even faintly\ncheerful, and in full possession of all\nhis faculties.\nRecognized His Daughter.\nHe recognized his daughter Carrie,\nMrs. Osslp Gabrlllotch, and spoke a\nrational word or two. These words\nwere his last. Laying aside his glasses\nand pencil he Bank first Into reverie\nand' later Into final unconsciousness.\nThere was no thought at the time,\nhowever, that the end was so near.\nAt 5 o'clock Dr. Robert Halsey, who\nhad been continuously in attendance,\nsaid that Mr. Clemens was not so\nstrong as yesterday, but that he had\nwonderful vitality and might rally\nagain. Albert B. Paine, Mark Twain's\nbiographer, said when a reporter inquired: \"i do not think you will have\n.to cau often.\"\nNevertheless Mr. and Mrs. B. N.\nLoom-is, who had come up from New\nYork to give their love in person left\nStoi-mfteid, Mr. Clemens' house, without seeing htan and only heard of his\ndeath just ss they were taking the train\nto New York again. Mrs. Loomls was\nMr. Clemens favorite niece. Mr.\nLoomls Is vice president of the Lacka*\nwana Railroad company.\nPalled to Respond.\nRestoratives, digitalis, strychnine\nand camphor -were administered but\nthe patient failed to respond, A tank\nof oxygen stands uncalled for at Redding station. Oxygen was tried* yes*\nterday and the physicians explained\nthat it was of no use, because the\nvalvular action of the heart was not\ndisordered. There was only an ex*\ntreme and -increasing debility.\nSedatives Soothed His Pain.\nMark Twain did not die in anguish,\nsedatives soothed his pain, but in his\nmoments of consciousness the mental\ndepression persisted,\nOn the way from Bermuda he said\nto Albert Blgelow Paine: \"Tigs is a\nbad Job, we -may never pull through\nwith It.\" On shore and longing for the\nserenity of the New England hills he\ntook heart and courage and said to\nthose who noted his enfeebled condition tn sorrow, \"Give me a breath of\nRedding air once more and this will\npass.'.* But lt did not pass and, tired\nof body, and weary of spirit, the old\nwarrior against shakes and chills said\nfaintly to his nurses, \"Why do you\nfight to keep me alive.\"\nNot -Nicotine Poisoning.\nIt is certain to be recalled tbat Mark\nTwain was for more than 60 years an\nInveterate smoker and the first conjecture of the layman would he that\nhe had weakened his heart by over Indulgence In tobacco. Dr. Halsey said\ntonight that be was unable to say that\ntbe angina pectoris, from which Mark\nTwain died, was in any way a sequel of\nnicotine poisoning. Some, constitutions, he said, seem Immune from the\neffects of tobacco, and this was one\nof them. Yet It ls true that since his\nillness began, the doctors had cut down\nMark Twain's dally allowance of\n29 cigars and countless pipes, to four\ncigars a day.\nLonged for Smoke.\nNo deprivation was a greater sorrow\nto him. He tried to smoke on the\nsteamer while returning from Bermuda\nand only gave lt up because he was too\nfeeble to draw on his pipe. Even on\nhip deathbed when he had passed the\npoint of speech and It was ho longer\ncertain that life would last he would\nmake the motion of smoking a cigar\nand* shilling expelled air from under\nthe moustache still stained with smoke.\nMark Twain chose to spend his de*\ndining years among the hills of Redding. It was among these hills that\nGeneral Israel' Putnam of Revolutionary fame, mustered his spares rinks.\nSherwood place was the delectable\nname given the place , he purchased\nand where tt stood Mark Twain reared\nthe white walls ot an Italian villa. He\nfiret named It \"Innocent At-home,\" but\na first experience of what a NeV Eng*\n \u201e___..      ... .. _. ^^^\nfury quickly caused him to change It\nto \"Sturm-field.' '\nHis House.\nThe house has been thus described\nby Albert Bigelow Paine. \"Set on a\nfair hillside with such a green slope\nbelow, such a view outspread across\nthe valley as made one catch hie\nbreath a little when he first returned\nto look at lt. A trout stream flows\nthrough one of the meadows. There\nare apple trees and gray stone walls,\nthe entrance to It ls a- winding leafy\nfane. Through this lane \"The Innocent\nat Home\" loved to wander In his white\nflannels tor homely gossip with the\nneighbors. They remember him best\nas one who loved a good listener for\nMark Twain was a mighty talker, stored with fairy tales, for the little maids\nhe adored and racier ruder speech for\nmore stalwart masculine ears. It Is\na legend that he was vastly proud of his\nfamous crop of white hair and used to\nspend the pains of a court lady In getting lt to just the proper stand of artistic shape.\nDied of Broken Heart.\nLast summer the walks began to\nfalter, last fall they ceased for good.\nThe death of H. Hf Rogers, a close\nfriend was a severe blow. The death\nof his daughter Jean, who was seized\nwith an attack of epilepsy while In her\nhath was an added blow from which\nhe never recovered. It was then that\nthe stabbing pains in the heart began. Mark Twain died as truly as it\ncan be said of any man of a broken\nheart. .\nMark Twain was bora in 1835. At\n13 he became a printer. He was for a\nshort time a pilot on the Mississippi\nand afterwards a reporter In California\nand editor of a newspaper In Buffalo.\nWith Bret Hart he wrote for the Call*\nfornian.' He travelled a great deal and\nlately spent much time in England. He\nwas created D. Lltt of Oxford University. Some of his publications are\nthe Jumping Frog, The Innocents\nAbroad, Adventures of Tom Sawyer, A\nTramp Abroad, The Prince and the\nPauper, Life on the Mississippi, The\nAdventures of Huckleberry Finn, A\nYankee at the Court of King Arthur,\nTom Sawyer , Abroad, Joan of Arc,\nChristian Science.      , ,   * '\nRIOTS SPREADING\nTROOPS DESERTING\nArother   Mission   School   Burned   but\nForeigners Escape\u2014Chinese Marines Guard Foreign Quarter\nPEKIN, April 21\u2014The lawlessness ot\nthe natives which began at Changsha,\nthe capital of Huan province, Is reported to be spreading.

R.\nClarke, president of the Alberta and\nGreat Waterways railway got any\ncompensation, or commission ln connection with the sale of the bonds of\nhis railway company, lt was not revealed by the copy of the agrement\nbetween himself and J. B. Morgan and\nCo. In London, which was produced in\ncourt this .morning, and by which agreement, the bonds were to be sold direct\nfrom Clarke to Morgan and Morgan\nwas to pay par, Canadian terms, for\nthe bonds. This was the chief clause\nin the agreement and nothing was said\nabout any commission for Clarke. Morgan was to be at liberty at any time\nto place the bonds for sale on the market. The agreement was produced during the examination of S. F. Woods, ex-\ndeputy attorney general who said\nClarke had shown him the original of\nthe agreement In a hotel in Edmonton.\nThe Royal commission oh tiie Great\nWaterways investigation will sit next\nTuesday -morning in the grain exchange\nboard room at Winnipeg, when it is\nexpected that the evidence of Minty\nand Clarke will be taken. Clarke was\nin St. Paul when last heard of but it\nis understood tbat he has agreed to\ngive evidence In Winnipeg.\nCorrects Statement.\nJim McKinnon made a statement this\nmorning to tlie. effect that Dr, Waddell\nhad not personaly used the words to\nhim that he would tear, up the'.new'\ncontract Clarke had made with the\ngovernment. McKinnon said some one\nof the officials used these words but\nnot Dr. Waddell.\nEx-deputy Attorney General S. 6.\nWoods was on the stand this morning\nand told of his negotiations with Mtnty\nthe solicitor of the railway regarding ,\nthe drawing up of a mortgage on which :\nthe guarantee was to 'he given. This\noccupied a week. He had had a number of discussions with Clarke about\nthe project. He knew that Clarke was\nasking for a guarantee of $24,000, that\ntho government were dickering with\nhim over the amount. He had had a\ndiscussion with Cross regarding the\namount of the interest. It was his\nview that the bonds should be five per\ncent, in order that they might be floated more eaMly for a road into the\nnorth. On the 13th November, Woods\nsaid he held a meeting in the office\nof the deputy minister of public works\nat which Stocks, deputy minister, Chalmers, government engineer, Minty\nClarke, Waddell and Bowen were present at which they discussed specifications. Next day he met the cabinet\nto explain the mortgage to them.\" He\nhad the Impression at this meeting that\nthe amount of guarantee had been already settled. At the meeting they\ndiscussed the question as to how the\n$20,000 was to be paid, whether at\nthe completion of every 10 miles ov on\nengineer's certificates.\nCushlng Was Present.\nHe remembered that Ex-minister\nCushing was at thut meeting. He did\nnot think that this was the same meeting to which Dr. Waddell referred, and\nat which the details had been settled,\nhe had the impression that it was\nsome time after that meeting. Woods\nsaid he had drafted the letter which the\npremier wrote to Clarke promising to\npromote the legislation to guarantee\nthe road from a similar letter in connection with the guarantee of the Canadian Northern bonds. Woods Bsid he\nhad shown this letter to Ex-minister\nCushlng before it was signed.\nThe Missing Letter.\n\u25a0 Another feature of this morning's\nsession was the production of a copy\nof the letter from Minty to Woods\nwhich Woods had removed from the department files and destroyed because\nhe claimed it was personal. The letter\nproved to refer particularly to tiie\nGreat Waterways deal. It mapped out\na plan of campaign for Rutherford's trip\neast telling Woods that he should make\nout the necessary orders in council\nand give to them to Rutherford unsigned to bring east with him that he\nmight sign them after the organization\nof the company at Winnipeg.\nMade Out Orders.\nWoods did make out the orders tn\ncouncil as requested but they were not\nfinally passed untitl October 7. This\nwas In September. A telegram was\nproduced from Minty to Woods asking\nthe repeal of the clause which prevented officials of the company from having en Interest ln any construction.\nWoods said he knew that a construction\ncompany was to he formed but did not\nknow that lt waa to take over the bonds\nand stock of the railway company. He\npresumed that Clarke was to be Interested In It.\nNo Reason.\nIn the Great Waterways Investigation this afternoon, Woods could give\nno explanation as to why he removed\nMlnty's letter from the department files\nand burned It, save that lt was in his\nestimation a personal letter and he\nstill considered It bo.\n\"Do you consider tbat a document,\nlaying out the whole plan by which the\nprovince was to pledge Itself to $7,400.-\n000 was a personal document? asked\nBennett. Woods said he did, that he\nremoved it to protect Minty and he understood that Minty had no idea it\nwould get on the department files and\ntbat if the officials knew the letter\nwould be made public, Minty- would\nhave been fired.\nThe Turn of the Wheel.\nBennett has wasted no opportunity\nto score Woods on the circumstance of\nmissing documents. It was two years\nago in the trial ot the timber com*\nbine case that Woods so deeply scored\nBennett's clients on the very same\nmatter and when Bennett was alleged\nto have said he would get even with\nWoods, Bennett, during his examination\nof Woods today' has referred more than\nonce to this incident.\nCross Was There.\nWoods told this afternoon of the fast\ntrip to St. Paul and New York to place\nthe bonds ln the hands of Morgan and\ncompany. He had considered the only\nway to do was to take the bonds personally to New York as he could\nnot give them to Minty, to\ntake. He took M. J, McLeod, deputy\nprovincial treasurer with him. They\nwent to Calgary with Clarke from\nwhere he then went to St. Paul in a\nspecial train. They left Edmonton on\nOctober 28 and had to reach New\nYork by November 1. He went on the\nspecial with Clarke, James and Goddard lo St. Paul and caught the Pioneer\nLimited cast. They reached New\nYork on the morning of the first and\ndelivered the bonds to Morgan in the\nafternoon, one of the firm told Woods\nthat they expected to make much\nmore than par when they sold them.\nIn New fork, Woods met Cross and\nCornwall.     Then they went to Mont*\n(Continued on Page Five.)\nMULGA MINE IS\nJT[LL SEALED\nTwo   Score   Miners   Still   Entombed\u2014\nFeared That All Are Dead\u2014Tremendous Explosion\nBIRMINGHAM; Ala., April 21\u2014The\nMulga mine was still sealed up today\nfor tear of fire.

BALFOUR\nPersonalities Contrasted by \"An  Englishman\" In the London Dally\nMall, Unionist.\nThe following article by an Englishman\nIs published in the Lolndon Dally Mall:\nAir. Asquith Js what In the seventeenth\ncentury was called a mere politician, lie\npieachcs no gospel, he advocates no principles. -His tnou.#t Is all linked up with\nthe movements ut tiie \"Machine.\" His\nprofoundest study is to discover by what\nmeuns he may conciliate this group, by\nwhat offer he may secure the surrender of\nthat. His only guide Is opportunism. His\nonly test of action is the success- of the\nmoment. Powerless to carry into effect\nhis own designs, tf indeed he harbor any,\nhe has consented tamely to become the\nadvocate now of the Irishmen, now of tlie\nLabor party. When he ls asked his Intentions he ls compelled to wrap his answer up In words of prevarication, because he knows no more of the future than\nhis Interrogator.\nHis  Mind  Not  Made  Up.\nOn no point of policy has he made up\nhis mind. He Is prepared to sacriilce the\nit nance bill or to abolish the house of\nlords, If it be worth his while. His opinions vary with the opinions of the last\nemissary who approached him. The Labor\nparty tills him with enthusiasm for that\nstrange specimen, whose Interest today is\npurely urchaeol^lcul, the People's Budget.\nThe mere sight of un Irishman convinces\nhim that the budget Is naught, and that\n\"the will of the people must prevail within the limits of a single parliament.\" in\nbrief, he can control neither hts cabinet\nnor the house of commons. One thing only is certain, he lias not a \"homogeneous\nmajority,\" as he confessed at Oxford, and\nit is not surprising that he is heartily\nsorry for  It.     \u00bb\n'Mr. Balfour the Statesman.\nSuch Is one picture. Now look upon the\nother, Mr. Balfour has never mistaken\npolitics for statesmanship. His clear vision\nHas always looked through the means tu\ntliu end. He does not believe that the\nultimate object of a minister is to capture\nthe \"Machine.\" He Is as remote from\nthe underworld of politics as was WlUlam\nPitt. It ls upon his country unci Us\ngrandeur that his thoughts are centred.\nHe will abate no jot of principle, he will\nextinguish no spark of enthusiasm, iu\norder to win a momentary advantage.\nWhile Mr. Asqulth Is ready to borrow his\nopinions ready-made from- one satellite or\nanother, Mr. Balfour builds his own\nopinions upon the rocks of reason and experience, and asks his friends to support\nthem, ln other words, it Is his purpose to\nlead, not to follow, and he comes before\nthe country with the authority of a master,\nnot with the complaisance of a servant.\nNo Desire for Power.,\nHis gifts are the gifts of a statesman\u2014\na clear judgment, an Indexible will, a lofty\npurpose. He has no desire tor power fur\nIts own soke, But he sees that his country is ln danger, and he believes, with the\nconfident patriotism of Chatham, that he\nalone can save it. His policy is simple\nand constructive. A spirited measure of\nturlff reform shall restore the self-respect\nof Kngllsmen, who too long have lived\nupon the -corn and oil of others, and do a\nvast deal to mitigate the worst suffering\nof all\u2014the suffering of unemployment.\nOnce more, under a change of Usual policy,\n\u25a0England shall insist upon turning her\npasturage back into corn land, and resume\nthat without which no countr*.* can be\ngreat or prosperous\u2014the tillage of tha\nsoil. A system of ownership shall guard\nthe small farmers against the heartless\nexaction OC county councils, bodies of\ntheir verv na>ture obdurate and economic,\nand do more than any other project to re-\npeople the depicted countryside.\nFor a Second Chamber.\nAnd, with tho accomplishment of this\nnecessary reform, the Constitution must\nhe defended against the attacks of those\nwltose single- aspiration* is wreckage. A\nsecond chamber, strengthened by reform,\nmust he empuwered to chet-k the over-\nhasty Impulse of the commons and claim\ntne sympathy and respect of our oversea dominions. Nor must the house of\ncommons escape the reform of which It\nstands In bitterer need than t'ne second\nchamber. It It is to be a democratic assembly worthy of tho name, it must represent, not a series of accidents but an Intelligent electorate. Tliere must he closet\nrelations between the number of voters\nand their representation. The influence of\nIreland in the national council must be\nreduced to a fair and honest proportion,\nso that If the people's will does prevail,\nthere may be a general confidence that it\nis the people's will and nut the pull of\nInterested win* pullers.\nThe  Problem of Social  Reform.\nThere remains the problem of social re-\nfoim, which Mr, Balfour alone has the\nforce and foresight to solve. The existing\nPoor law must be replaced by something\nwhich will smooth the Inequalities of life\nand give each man a fair chance, according to his will iind strength. Truly a vast\nwork to accomplish, und one which will\ndemand the best qualities uf heart and\nhead. Where will the state look for salvation If not to Mr. Balfour? His position\nIn the house of commons is unique. Nothing more remarkable in our political history than the swift mastery which he obtained over it In 1906, in the face of a large\nand hostile majority. That mastery he\nretains, and he retains It by the simple\nmethod of trust. His bitterest enemies\nknow that he has nothing to gain or to\nlose. His sincerity is transparent. He is\ndetached from all pernicious interests,\nfrom all base Influences. Not even does\nhe depend upon the dangerous elements\nof eloquence. He never stoops to rhetoric\nthat he may conquer a foolishly emotional\naudience. The perilous tricks of the Iberian are not his. His speeches are masterpieces of close and reasonable argument.\nHe pays his audience t'he compliment of\nbelieving that they prefer honest statesmanship to the \"tactics\" of Mr. Asqulth,\nclear thought to the reckless rant of Mr;\nLloyd George.\nA Bogey.\nThe Radical papers, unable to oppoBe\nMr. Balfour ln argument, have Invented a\nbogy which has no existence save In their\nsanguine fancy.. They picture him as\nlackadaisical, as Indifferent, as everything\nwhich they know he is not. Their deception is apparent to all, to none so\nclearly as to themselves. Ireland knows\nand has felt his strength. There is no\nRadical politician who has not quailed before his mordant Batire. If the glove Is\nvelvet, truly the hand within It Is of steel.\nNo one of his followers doubts his strength\nor IiIh courage. To the broken mob of\ndlssentlons which stands behind Mr. Asqulth Is opposed a solid phalanx of<*men\nwho respect their leader, who revere his\nopinions, who will fight for his governance.\nIn a few weeks the battle will be engaged,\nand we may look forward with confidence\nto the result.\nMOTOR BOAT SUPPLIES\nLargest and beBt assorted stock In the\nInterior cf B.C.\nSpark colls, spark plugs, switches, primary and secondary cable, magnetos, storage -batteries, dry batteries, headlights,\ncarbide, deck fittings, steering wheels,\ntiller rope, anchors, life buoys, fenders*\nBchebler carbureters, check valves, gasoline -fittings, copper tubing, stuffing boxes,\ncouplings, reverse gears, -propeller wheels,\nbilge pumps, lubricating oils and grease,\noil and grease cups, battery connectors,\nboat hooks, priming cups, motor boat\nhorns, volt and ammeters, metal polish-\nspeed Indicators; oil cans, gasoline engines\n\u2014marine and stationary. _\nMall orders promptly attended to.

Gracey;\nFrom an account of the mining activity\nat Sheep Creek, the extent and success of\ntlie developments that liave been already\ncarried out, and the large shipments of\ngold, It is safe to assert that this district\nlias an exceedingly bright future. Though\npractically still iu its Infancy, the Sheep\nCreek camp has already proved its vast\nstores of wealth, nearly 11,000,00(1 worth of\ngold having been recovered up to the\npresent from the recesses of Mother Earth.\nA. H. Gracey of Nelson, in an interview\nwith the World at the Vancouver hotel,\ngave some interesting information regarding the development of what is said to be\ntlie richest gold mining district In British\nColumbia. He mentioned that the nearest\ntown to Sheep Creek camp was Salmo,\nabout 20 miles from Nelson, reached on the\nG.NYR. -branch to Spokane. From Salmo\na wagon road has to be traversed for 10\nmites before the camp is reached.\nOf the various claims now being extensively developed, the Queen Is the old-\nout, having been operated In a quiet way\nfor between eight and nine years. It was\nnot until two years ago that the development work was carried on in anything\nlike an extensive manner, although' the\nproperty was worked privately with great\nsuccess previously.\nWhat was taken up two years ago as\na prospect has now proved itself to he\nan exceedinly valuable property in the\ncase of the Nugget mine. Since development commenced, 7,250 tons of extra high\nhigh grade ore have been taken out, a\ngross amount of 1200,000 being realized.\nThe precious metal has been discovered\n\"2.B00 feet underneath the ground at some\nplaces on the Nugget. Mr. Gracey went\non to say, and the claim has been developed to a depth of 450 feet.\nMother Lode Group, 6\nThe adjoining group of claims, between\ntlie Nugget and the Queen, Is known as\nthe Mother Lode group, and Mr. Gracey\nstates that a considerable amount of gold\nhas been shipped by the parties who were\nleasing the claims. Some of the gold from\nthis mine has usHayed as high as $145 per\nton. The property was purchased about\na year ago by J. McMartin, who has been\nconnected with the famous La Hose mine\nat Cobalt.\n\"East of the Queen.\" the speaker continued, \"Is the Kootenay Bell, from which\nlarge shipments have been made, and then\nthere U the Columbian and the Clyde Belt.\nPromising veins have been opened up on\nboth of these properties. On the Golden\nBell, which is operated by the Sheep Creek\nAmalgamated Mining company, of Vancouver, active development Is to be prosecuted tills season, and a Assure which\nhas been located on the Bonanza has been\ntapped at two points 1,200 feet apart.\n\"Considerable ore has been milled from\nthe Ore Hill claims, which have been\nbonded by a Vancouver syndicate. Recent\nshipments of ore have averaged as high\nas **>2ii0, und there is ore now in transit\nwhich Is equally as rich.\n\"The Searchlight and Golden Fawn are\nthe names of other rich mines ln the same\ncamp. Of the former some very encouraging veins have been encountered and a\nvery good average value has been obtained. Extensions from the rich veins which\nhave made a name for the Nugget mines\nhave been located on the Searchlight, and\ntherefore great things are hoped from this\nproperty. The Vancouver group, which\nIs being developed by a Nelson syndicate,\nIh stated to have showings of ore averaging around $08 per ton.\n\"At present,\" Mr. Gracey continued,\nore is exposed of an average grade throughout the camp of from (20 to (25 per ton,\nand the veins vary from 2 to 10 feet in\nwidth. Shutes of ore on the Nugget,\nQueen and Mother Lorle claims\u2014these are\nthe properties which have been principally\ndeveloped\u2014run from 4 to 16 feet wide, with\nan average sloping width of from five to\neight feet,\" *\nWOMAN WITH LEPROSY\nIN CROWDED TENEMENT\nFound Cuddling Eight Months Old Baby\nto Her Breast*\u2014Tenement Swarmed With Lodgers.\nNEW YORK, April 21\u2014Suffering\nCrom what is believed to be leprosy in\nits advanced stage, an unfortunate wo*\nman, cuddling an eight months old\nbaby to her breast, was found by Dr.\nTrask of Bellevue hospital today.

N\nMINE Of WEALTH\nTO THE PROVINCE\nWhat Fish and Game of Kotoenay Are\nWorth to People\nAn article in the Toronto News Bays:\nThe public are .becoming fully alive to\nthe importance of adopting stricter\nmeasures for conserving our natural\nresources for lt is feared that otherwise\nwhat would become a perennial source\nof wealth to the province will eventually perish by neglect and wasteful\nusage. Not to dwell here upon the rich\nInheritance we have In tile woods of\nour forests, in the commercial fish of\nour great lakes, ln the latent powers\nin our many rivers, etc., there are certain other sources of wealth, the value\nof which few people have any Idea, inasmuch as tbe the economic Importance\nof these to the province has not been\nbrought to the attention of the general\npublic. For instance there are the\nthousands of our beautiful lakes and\nrivers, with their salubrious and invigorating air, all originally teeming with\ngame fish and tbe woods with other\ngame,\nWorth More Than Cobalt Mines\nLeaving out of consideration altogether, the opportunities these afford\nto our town people for recreation and\nsport, these lakes and rivers constitute\nwhat should, -become a perennial source\nof wealth to tbe country, little dreamt\nof by unthinking persons Ignorant of\nwhat we possess in this respect, it can\nhe conclusively shown by the experience of other countries tbat there is a\nmine of wealth here for the -people exceeding in importance even tbe silver\nmines of Cobalt, if the conditions we\nown are properly utilized and administered ln order to attract foreign tourist\nand pleasure seekers to our midst, who\nwould naturally leave (with us large\nsumB of money and that, too, spent\nchiefly in districts where lt is most\nneeded. It Ib not the value of the fish\nand game ln themselves, which ls comparatively trifling; It is what tbey will\nbring to us. We know of millions that\nare spent annually ln the very limited\narea of- the north of Scotland and also\nof late years in little Norway, attracted\nthither by similar conditions.\nSupports 500,000 People In Maine\nIn the state of Maine in 1970 lt was\nofficially estimated that in that one\nyear alone there were nearly half a\nmillion people, men, women and children, drawn to that state by similar at*\ntractions to what we possess; in fact\nthey constitute one of the most valuable assets which Maine has. Now\nwhen we rememlher that Ontario Is\nover'five times the size of Maine and\ncontains elements for health and recreation far exceeding that state, and\nmoreover is more convenient of access\nfor tbe rich millions to the south of us,\nwe can then realize that the attraction\nof our country when fully discovered\nby them will constitute Ontario a very\nMecca for summer visitors.

It is looked upon\na* brutal and repulsive, and all efforts\nto introduce a systematic study of the\n\"noble art of self-defence\" in this coun*\ntry have, owing to tbe unfavorable attitude of the press and ithe police, end*\ned in failure. One of the reasons for\nthe .strenuous opposition of the police\nis because there it is a serious offence\nto strike a man with one's fist, no\nmatter what ithe grievance may be.\nHence the citizens of the great towns,\nthough prone to Indulge in wordy contests accompanied by a tremendous exhibition of excitement and indignation,\nrarely come to blows and the police\nbelieve that If a general knowledge of\nboxing become general throughout the\nFatherland there would be a great\nmany more arrests for brawling, and\nincidentally, it might lead the members\nof the Socialist street demonstrations\nto adopt a more aggressive attitude to*\nwards the police,, instead of their present attitude of almost lamb-like submission to the stalwart, spike-helmeted\nand sword begiidled officers of the law.\nBerlin Championships.\nRecently the first meeting took place\nfor the amateur championships of Berlin in feather, light, middle, and heavyweights, It was decided on a Sunday\nevening, and presented many features\nof distinct interest.\nIn the first place, owing to police in- I\nstructions the rules issued to all the I\ncombatants contained a notice that they\nwere not to hit too hard, and that any\none who did so would be disqualified.\nRepresentatives of the law were present to see that these instructions were\ncarried out.\nA stage had been erected at one end\nof a large hall, and the audience down\nbelow sat around drinking beer and\nother liquors. During the first round\nof the. lightweights two competitors\nmixed it up with the result that a small\nquantity of blood appeared, on the\nnose of one of the boxers.\nDistressed the Ladles.\nThe ladies, of whom there were many\nln the audience, seemed rather moved,\nand when the bout was over, tbe promoter came forward on the stage, and,\naddressing the audience said that they\nmust not mind If a small amount of\nblood was seen as It meant nothing, did\nnot hurt, and, In fact, the competitors\nfar from disliking It, rather enjoyed the\nnovel sensation.\nBelow the platform and ln front of\nthe audience, was a band. During the\nintervals the band was always silent,\nbut immediately a round commenced\nthe band began to play some martial\nor playful piece, and many of the combatants who probably were more at\nhome in a ballroom than in the ring,\nintroduced Into their leg work a dancing movement which though ellghtly\ncomical to the eyes of a sportsman,\nfilled the audience with glee, and one\nboxer In particular who not only took\nhis leg work, but also his hitting cues\nfrom the band brought the house down\nwith applause.\nOne lightweight who hit his opon-\nent on the nose with such force that\nthe latter sat on the floor was promptly warned that the next time such a\nthing happened he would be ruled out.\nTh\u00a9 man who sat on the floor retired.\nAnother boxer, apparently a favorite,\nstopped in the middle of a round to\nwave his glove at the audience, who\nwere distracting him by cheering too\nmuch.\nThe Heather on Flre.\nThe movement for the saving ot la-\nci'osse has, so to speak, set the heather\non fire on hundreds of playgrounds\nthroughout Eastern Canada, and everywhere the school boys are joining the\nranks of the rescuers of the national\nsummer sport.\nBesides helping lacrosse the movement will have a strong tendency to\nhelp on another good cause. Sticks\nand boys are not enough. If lacrosse\nIs to be played there must be grounds\non which to play It and this suggests\nthe playgrounds movement for securing places where, during the summer,\nboys who are not fortunate enough to\nreach the country, can ' play their\ngames and enjoy their holidays.

It was only last week, arid it\nseems but yesterday, when Jones and\nBlackburn made the north dizzy with\nthe news of the fabulous finds and\ntheir special train party went rushing\nhvtx a tew miles over the T. & N. O.\nrailway to Bourk Siding, en route to\nCamel's Back lake. Mr. Beiderman who\nwas seldom heard of -before this last\nrush, but who suddenly came Into prominence as ibelng the only white resident In that section, being the possessor\nof a squaw wife and some claims, will\nnow be In possession of enough good\nprovisions left there along the trail by\nprospectors, tti do him for an age. The\nprospectors have the experience.\nBefore quitting Mr. Beiderman, It may\nbe said the prospectors speak very respectful of him, claim tbat he has really\na quartz vein but that the heat assay\nhe ever got out of It was $10 In gold to\nthe ton; but of Jones and Blackburn the\nprospectors do not speak so highly. To i\nquote one of the last arrivals: \"I consider it one of the crudest pieces of\ndeception* ever pulled off on the pilblic.\"\nLooks Like a Real Fake\nSumming up the whole situation, it\nlooks like a real fake. That the law\nwill take a hand 1s also evident Today\nthe southbound train leaving Seslklnaka\nstation carried nearly 200 prosipeotors\nand amongst them was Mr. Blackburn,\nwho was roundly taunted by his companions. Talk of dipping him in trie\nlake was heard on every hand, but no\nharm came to him. He was unmolested\nbut he was said to have suddenly\njumped offl the train just south of\nEnglehart and was not seen afterwards.\nAt Halleybury the police searched\nthe train and it -was intimated that\nBlackburn was wanted; that he will be\naccused of perjury and securing money\nunder false pretences. This makes it\nlook rather serious for these men and\nmany -an indignant prospector is hoping they get their deserts. At Halley-\n-bury the feeling Is so strong against the\nmen that they are liable to receive\nrough treatment on arrival.\nAn Outcrop, Nothin More\nThe general impression amongst the\nunfortunates who visited Camel's Back\n\u2022lake is that It is an outcrop in a muskeg, nothing more, plenty of mineralization minus the yellow metal that\nwas supposed to be there in abundance.\nAs evidence of the unfriendly feeling\no[ the prospectors, they made a grave\nIn the woods, rounded lt up nicely and\nwith their axes hewed out a cross which\nwas erected over the grave and some\nof the sentimentally inclined wrote numerous odes and verses thereon, ex-.\npressing their feelings towards the supposed sluroberer. Needless to say the\nverses will never appear ln print. One\nof the party who was the proud possessor of a camera photographed the scene\nwith the mourners 'to the number of 30\nstanding, in the background with bared\nheads and stern faces.\nOne Thousand Were Deluded\nThe number of prospectors 'believed\nto have been ensnared is about 1000\nand the actual loss occasioned is anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000, exclusive of time. That 'this mad rush has\nnot been attended by drownings is only\na miracle and it is believed about 200\nmen are still there and will not be out\nfor several days. Such an expedition\ncomes as a heavy hardship on many\nprospectors who had to iborrow the\nmoney to go with. Others have squandered their summer grub stake, or part\nof it and can ill afford the loss at this\ntime, as the average prospector is by no\nmeans flush this spring, sales being\nnone too plenty last fall and winter.\nThe outcome ot the police search will\nbe watched with considerable interest.\nIf these parties are caught it Is evident\nthat an example will be made of them.\nWHY   MONARCHIES  EXIST,\nSome time ago Mr. W. T. Stead was\nasked by an editor of an American\nmagazine to write an article explaining why monarchies still existed in\nEurope. He replied by writing an\narticle in which he tried to explain\nwhat seemed to him a still greater\nmystery, namely, why no monarchy had yet been established in the\nNew World. The editor refused to\nprint the article saying it would be too\nmuch of a shock to his readers to\npublish an article which set forth that\nthe monarchy was normal and the republic abnormal in political society.

Controller Church said the graduates of Toronto university, McGill and\nQueens were second to none in tho\nworld. Many of the chief engineers of\nthe big railway companies were Canadians. The most Important engineering\nprojects on the continent, such as the\nNew York subway, the Hudson river\ntunnel, the Sarnia tunnel and the\nPennsylvania tunnel, were planned by\nand constructed under the supervision\nof Canadian engineers who had graduated from Canadian universities.    He\nstrongly condemned the tendency of\nCanadian municipalities whenever they\nhad an undertaking of more than ordinary magnitude to deal with, to rush\noK to the States for expert advice.\nThere was no comparison hetween. the\nengineers of the States and those of\nCanada. The Ill-Sated Quebec bridge\nwag proof positive of this statement.\nThe bridge was being -built by United\nStates experts and it collapsed. The\nbungling over that structure had to be\nrectified by a Canadian, Principal Gal*\nbralth oB the School of Practical Science, Toronto, restored order out of\nchaos, and his report on the Qmebeo\nbridge was acknowledged by leading\nAmerican scientific journals to have\nbeen the greatest written treatise on\nbridge work and strength ever compiled in the English language. Mr.\nChurch so absolutely convinced his colleagues that Canadian engineers were\ncapable of tackling any engineering\nprojecj, no matter hoiw dltticult, that\nthe board decided that a Canadian ex*\npert should be engaged to report on the\ntube system for the city.\nMlnard's Liniment Cure* Bums.

APRIL 22.\nTHE HEREDITARY PRINCIPLE.\nLord Halsbury is not enamored of\nLord Rosebery's proposals. In speaking against them he points out that\nthe hereditary principle Is applied to\nother rulers than those of the house\nof Lords. When a man dies, who owns\na'landed estate or a controlling share\nin a business, his son succeeds to the\nproperty and rules over it with a\npower much exceeding -that ot an\n\"hereditary legislator.\"\nTake, for Instance, ln the United\nStates the power over conditions\naffecting thousands of people, or\nrather millions, exercised by the hereditary Vanderbilt owners of railway\nproperties, or by the Aetors, or that\nwill be exercised by the heirs of James\n\u25a0Hill or by the heirs of other men who\ncontrol great industrial and mining\nproperties. By building up these properties their present owners may have\nshown their ability to administer them\n\u2014for their own benefit\u2014but what\nabout their sons who will inherit ruling\npowers greater than those of many a\nmonarch, duke or baron in the smaller\nEuropean kingdoms?\nWhat about the hereditary principle\nin these cases? Lord Halsbury's argument may tell ln favor of the house\nof Lords with some of his hearers; lt\nmay tell against the application of the\nhereditary principle In a wider way\nwith other hearers of a more revolutionary turn of mind.\nBut it has never heen the habit of\nthe English speaking peoples to follow\nout -the practical application of any\nargument to all the cases to which it\nmay logically be applied. It has 'been\nsaid that the English speaking mind\nworks in watertight compartments,\nand applies its reasons only to cases\nwhich it desires to deal with at the\ntime. Most of those who deride the\nidea that a man should bear rule solely because he its tbe son of his father\nin the case of the house of Lords,\nwould be warm upholders of the Idea\nthat a man should bear rule solely because he is the son of his father in the\ncase of a railway or a great manufacturing industry.\nProbably the reason given would be\nthat in tbe one case it was rule that\nwas inherited; and in the other, property. Rule, however, Is inherited in\nboth cases, the real difference is that\nIn the former it is considered practicable to substitute something else and in\nthe latter it is not.\n8INGULAR  SITUATION  IN  GREAT\nBRITAIN.\nIt becomes clearer every day that\nnot only the Unionists but also the\npeople of Ireland are opposed to important clauses in the budget\nAlso that not only the Unionists but\na large number of Liberals are opposed to Home Rule.\nThus, taking the United Kingdom\nat a whole, a majority of the people\nagrees with the Lords on the fiscal\npolicy, and a majority agrees with the\nsame house on the question of Home\nRule. If the policy of the government\nwere submitted to a referendum both\nthese measures would be turned down.\nYet because the Lords have opposed\nthese measures a majority of the house\nof Commons and perhaps of the people are arrayed in alliance against\nthem.\nThe Laborites and the Liberals want\nto reduce the second chamber to impotence because it stands in the way\nof the budget. The Redmonites want\nto reduce It to impotence because it\nstands in the way of Home Rule.\nSo they join hands. The former will\n-accept Home Rule which they dislike\nfor the Bake ot the budget; the latter\nwill accept the budget which many ot\nthem dislike for the sake of Home\nRule.\nIn the name of government by the\npeople the house of Lords is to be\nprevented from placing obstacles in the\nway of two policies, neither of which\nis desired by a majority of the electors\nof the United Kingdom as a whole.\nAll this illustrates a fact often overlooked that in estimating to give a\ncomplete answer to the question,\n\"What is the will of the people;\" it Is\nnecessary to consider not only how\nmany electors want a particular measure or are opposed to it but -also how\nmuch they want it or how much they\nare opposed to It.\nGovernment by referendum or \"direct\nlegislation\" would take into consideration only the number of electors for\nor against any proposal and would disregard the intensity of their feeling\neither way.\nThat might be a good thing. Whether\nit Is or Is not Is a question to be decided before adopting \"direct legislation,\" as the ordinary instrument of\ngovernment. The value of the referendum as a safeguard is, of course, another story.\nEDITORIAL NOTES.\nMark Twain is dead. To millions of\nreaders his earlier works have given\nmany a cheerful laugh. Few men in\nour generation have done as much for\nthe benefit of mankind.\nIt Is said that the government of\nIndia will shortly be in the market\nfor silver. Available reserves are much\nreduced and at the same time the prosperity of the country calls for additional -supplies of coinage.\nIn Great Britain the craze for shares\nIn rubber companies still continues.\nIt is estimated that the rubber trees\nare capitalized at $1.60 each and that\nat the present price of shares they\nstand at $10 each. What will be the\neffect upon the money market and upon markets dependent upon the money\nmarket when the boom ends?\nVERDICT OF JURY\nON DOUBLE KILLING\nOTTAWA, April 21.\u2014At Bhawvllle today\nthe verdict of the jur- In the cue of the\ndeath of two young men last night was:\n\"That Harry .Howes and WlUlam Dale\ncame to their death at the hands of\niMIchael Murphy, and they were maliciously and felonouBly killed.\" Coroner Lip-\nplatt presided.

The census bureau estimated the population on Jon.\n1 at 7,360,000. We shall have to add\n650,000 dining the present year tn order\n<t0 reach the 8,000,000 mark. The expeoted figure seems high, says the Toronto Mall, hut considering the character of the country we possess, lt is not\nexcessive. i *\nFormer Ideas\nWe occupy, really the best and largest part of Uie North American continent. At an earlier period it was supposed that fertile lands were to ihe\nfoupd only in tbe most southerly portions of the Dominion and that tbe\nnorth was a desert in which human beings could live aa hunters, but not as\nfarmers. Thirty yeara ago a distinguished member of parliament held the\nfloor of the house for hours while he\nsought to prove that the entire route\nnow followed by the Canadian Pacific\n\u25a0through the west, was alkaline soil and\nutterly useless from the agricultural\npoint of view. ,\n1000 Miles North\nIn addition to poverty of soil, we had,\naccording to the then current opinions,\nan exceedingly bad climate. Human\nlife -was unsafe In high latitudes and\nanimal Life was practically impossible.\nAll these ideas have since been proven\nerroneous. The fertile belt is not a\nnarrow strip and the climate has not\n\u2022the terrors attributed to It. Strangely\nenough, the country gets better, at all\nevents, it does not deteriorate as it\ngoes north. Cultivation can he and is\ncarried on 1000 mileB above tbe boun*\ndary line.\nHad to Take Risks\nWhen one part df the weBt is discovered economically, another part\nopens up to the explorer and the settler and proves itself to be even more\nattractive than tlie sections already examined. There seems indeed to be no\nlimit to -the productive area of the country. The position of today was not\nreached at once, or without great difficulty and -great labor. We had to\ntake enormous -chances .before we could\n\u2022regard the western half ofi the country\nas an available'asset. Nor were tbe obstructions to progress other than those\nnecessitating large expenditures, few\nor unimportant.\nThe Day of Small Things\nFor years the forward movement was\ndelayed owing to the difficulty of finding the proper type of wheat to grow.\nThe solution of this problem was long\nin coming, but when it did come it was\nthe begtning ot our growth in the west.\nThe early years, let it be repeated, were\n<periods of disappointment and worry.\nBut they were really the seed time of\nthe harvest now experienced and of the\nharvest that is yet to be. We some\ntimes speak disparagingly of the progress that was made in ithe pioneer\ndays. But we must not forget that\nthose were days of preparation for the\nperiod in which we now are.\nSixteen Millions\nA population of eight millions or or\nnearly twice that of the commonwealth\nof Australia, Is certainly due at the\nnext census. The country is worth it;\nthe work of consolidation, of extension,\nof exploration and of development has\nearned It But we cannot stop at that\nCanada will sustain -ten times that number of people and we ought to at least\ndoubQe during the next decade. Under\na policy of making for tiie conservation\noj our resources, for the utilisation ot\nour own raw material and for the extension of oar' own industries we shall\nhave sixteen millions in 1M0.    .\nTHE EXODUS FROM THE PRAIRIE STATES\nGreater Than the Great Immigration From Ireland\n\u2014Wonderful Attractions of British Columbia\nand Prairie Provinces\nCALGARY, April 21 \u2014 I have been\nspending several weeks travelling in\nthe Canadian northwest and Heel it good\nto be here. It Is a new world, utterly\nunlike anything I have ever seen before; a world of abounding energy and\nof supreme confidence in its own great\ndestiny,\nLaat year 91,000 Americans crossed\nover the line and settled down to work\nas Canadian farmers. They brought\nthither their goods and chatties and\nmoney, or something like 1100,000,000\nof capital. This season Americana are\nflockin? to Canadian farms at the rate\nof 25,000 a month and they will bring\n$200,000,000 t0 build Canadian homes\nand to develop the virgin wheat fields\nof Alberta and Saskatchewan or thn\nprolific orchard lands of British Columbia. Moreover, 30,000 immigrants\nfrom -the British Isles and northern\nEurope are arriving monthly, bound for\nthe Canadian northwest. These figures\nrepresent a phenomenal condition of\naffairs; 56,000 Americans and Europeans arriving monthly; in this new\nworld of golden glorious promise and\nall going out into the prairies to plow\nand to sow and to reap prolific harvests\nand to build 'them happy homes in a\nrich and fruitful land. I doubt if there\never was before in the history of the\nworld, such a vast immigration of population as that which Is now flowing\ninto the Canadian northwest. It is phenomenal and it deserves the closest\nscrutiny of the people of the United\nStates, it is not at all pleasant from\nan American point of view to see in one\nyear 200,000 Americans, pioneer farm*\nerB, transplant themselves and their\nhousehold goods to another country, to\ndevote their energy and grit and brain\nto the upbuilding and enrichment of another land. There Is something very\nstrange and ominous in this extraordinary exodus of American farmers to\nCanada.\nGreater Than the Great Exodus\nFrom' Ireland\nI recollect when the whole world\nstood aghast at an exodus of 100,000 a\nyear from Ireland, but I never thought\nI would live to see an exodus of 300,-\n000 a year of the best\" American farmers into Canada, but I see it now and\nmarvel at it and yet the floodtide of\nimmigration from America to Canada\nhas been very far from reached. It has\ngrown and it will grow for years to\ncome, for here ts the last great empire\nof the earth for the white man to settle and rule over.\nWhy the Americans Come\nI shall be asked at once wherein lies\nthe great advantages of the Canadian\nnorthwest over the western states,\nwhence this immigration comes. At\nPincher creek I mtit a farmer who had\nlived In Kansas for 20 years. Five years\nago he came to Alberta and acquired\n480 acres of land. Two years ago he\ngrew 8000 bushels of wheat off 220\nacres and sold it for'$5600. Last year\nhe raised 12,000 bushels off 250 acres\nand eold it for $10,000 or 85 cents per\nbushel. His profits from the growth of\n250 acres of wheat in Alberta last year\nwere greater than all his profits from\nfarming during the 20 years he farmed\nIn Kansas and this is the tale that\nevery American settler ln Canada sends\nback to his old home and old friends.\nHe is certain of a crop of winter wheat\nin Alberta of from 40 to 60 bushels an\nacre while down in Kansas he was\nlucky in he harvested 12 to 14 bushels\nto the acre. Thirty bushels an acre of\nwinter wheat in Alberta Ib a very poor\ncrop; 45 bushels Is an average one.\nEqual Soil, Superior Climate\nOut here In Alberta and Saskatchewan the farmers grumble against the\nweather and the gods if they .do not\nharvest 100 bushels of oats to the acre.\nBarley grows equally well and their\ncrops of potatoes, hay, tomatoes, peas,\nbeans, cauliflowers, and other vegetables are equally great, The soil of\nAlberta and Saskatchewan ls as rich\nand fruitful as that of Ohio and Indiana\nbefore over-cropping and neglect and\nunder-cultivatlon had done Its worst.\nThe climate of Alberta and Saskatchewan is superior to the climate of any\nstate in the Mississippi valley, for the\ngroiwth of wheat, -barley, oats, hay and\nvegetables of all kinds. It Is idle to\ncontrovert this statement. It is patent\nt0 every geographical student who will\nstudy the reason why. Alberta and Saskatchewan are In the same latitude and\nhave a similar climate to Normandy,\nBelgium, Holland, Denmark and Germany. The beef, pork, poultry, eggs,\nbutter, cheese and milk of these countries are famous throughout the world.\nNo such vegetable gardens as theirs\nexist In either Southern Europe or In\nthe United States and no such meadows\nand grain fields can be found either in\nsouthern Europe or tlie United States.\nBelgium has a foreign commerce of $2,-\n500,000,000 yearly and it has not 25\nper cent of the area of the state of New\nYork, It is smaller than Massachusetts\nand Connecticut combined and yet Us\nforeign commerce is not far behind that\nor the United States of America. The\nbasis of that foreign trade is its farms.\nBelgium exports of farm products exceed in value the exports of farm products of Canada and the United States\nput together.\nGreatest Area ot Black Loam in World\nThe Saskatchewan valley, extending\nfrom Hudson bay to British Columbia\nand Montana, has the moat extensive\narea ot fertile black loam soil in the\nworld. Sometimes for two hundred\nmiles you cannot discover a rock or a\ngravel bed, and this immense area is\nwatered with ten thousand streams and\nrivulets, The deep rich soil; the long,\nlong summer days and the moist, warm\nprevailing southwest winds thnt blow\nover from the Pacific ocean, will make\nAlberta and Saskatchewan in due time,\nthe granary of the world.\nBritish Columbia\nBritish Columbia is another empire\nfor H Is co-extensive with Great Britain,\nIreland and the German empire com*\n'blned. The coast line of British Col*\numbia Is equal to that of all the countries bordering on the Mediterranean.\nHer fisheries and her mineral wealth\nexcel the world. It boasts 3000 miles\nof lake and river transportation. The\nenergy of 25,000,000 horses can be' harnessed in its rivers. The Columbia\nriver and tbe^Fraser river spread out\nin tbe interior into chains of lakes that\nhave no parallel on this or any other\ncontinent for exquisite beauty or pic*\nutresque grandeur, The shores of the\nArrow lakes, like those of Slocan and\nKootenay for forest clothed mountains,\nrising into peaks of everlasting snow,\nwhile the shores of Okanagan lake, of\nFraser lake and of Stuart lake are the\nfinest orchard lands on the continent.\nAll the battleships of all the. nations\ncould manoeuvre in Arrow lakes, in\nKootenay lake, ln Babine lake or in\nStuart lake and these are ibut a few of\nthe thousand glorious lakes of that enchanting land. Lord Grey describes\nWindermere as the most wonderful lake\never seen, while others rave over the\nunsurpassed and unsurpassable loveliness oi Emerald lake.\nThe Up-Country\nTo me, however, more wonderful than\nthe beauty of Us lakes and mountains\nIs Its magnificent climate, I have seen\ncultivated orchards on plateaux and hillsides 4000 feet above sea level and I\nhave eaten apples, pears and peaches\ngrown in three British Columbia valleys of a flavor more delicate and luscious than any I have ever tasted. Add\nto thiB that its valleys when cleared and\ncultivated make the most luxurious\npastures; that Its vegetable gardens are\nunsurpassed; that Its dairy products\nexcel those of Munster or Normandy;\nand that there Is ample room and opportunity for 60,000,000 of people to\nbuild them happy homes in that glorious western land.\nBut In explaining the wonderful immigration British Columbia must be considered In conjunction with both Alberta and Saskatchewan, Europeans\nof experience and capital are going very\nlargely to BritlBh Columbia, lured by\nits climate, its rich garden, orchard\nand pasture lands. Americans on the\nother hand are settling up Alberta and\nSaskatchewan, for they sow wheat on\ntheir arrival In the spring and reap a\nharvest in the fall,\nNorthern Alberta\nBishop Legal of northern Alberta, has\nlived in this country since his ordination In Us native Brittany 30 years ago.\nHe la tiu but looks 20 years younger. He told me that he preflers the climate of Alberta to the climate of Brittany of Normandy. At the mission at\nSt. Albert they have -been cultivating\ngardens and grain fields for 30 years\nwithout fertilization and Bishop Legal\nsays the soil yields better crops at the\nend of 30 years than at the beginning.\nHe explains this by saying that tho.\nsoil was so rich that frequent cropplnga\nwere necessary to tone It down and he\nassured me that finer cattle, fatter\nhogs and sheep, and better cream, butter and cheese and more of them can be\nraised here than In the very richest\nprovinces in France. He also told me\nthat at the mission house at Providence,\n600 miles north ot Edmonton there are\nnearly 1000 acres of land under cultivation; that there they grow the finest of\nwheat and mill it, themselves. They\ncure their own bacon and hams and\ntbey grow potatoes, cauliflowers, peas,\nand beans equal to anything on the continent.\nThe pioneer farmers who went out a\ngeneration ago into Kansas, Nebraska,\nthe Dakotas, Minnesota and transformed the wilderness Into pastures, gardens and grain fields are fully alive to\nthe growing scarcity of the world's\nfood supply and they know that owing\nto poor prices and spasmodic crops,\nthey were never able to till and fertilize\ntheir farms as they should have done.\nThey know their farms are run down\nbut they can sell them out now foi\n\u00a5100 or $150 an acre and move to Canada and buy the most fertile lands for\n$20 or $30 an acre, close to the railway.\nJim Hill's Railway Rates\nThe farmers tof Minnesota and the\nDakotas, who have had 20 years experience with J. J. Hill's methods of fixing\nfreight rates don't want to go to Montana or Oregon, or into any other state\nor territory where Mr. Hill can fix rates\non grain and hay and cattle and hogs,\netc. The St. Paul Journalist who compiles Mr. Hill's set speeches and magazine articles might explain the reason why, but there Is the broad hard\nfact that the pioneer farmers along Mr.\nHill's railways from St, Paul to Seattle\naie selling out their farms and crossing\nthe Canadian line to become upbuild-\ners of this new empire. I have no hesitation In saying that a great deal of\nthis is due to the undue discrimination\nof the railways against the farmer to\nthe collusion of the railways or their\nsubserviency to the beef trust. For 15\nyears the beef trust and the railways\ngot all the profit there was in the raising of sheep, hogs and cattle and noi.v\nthere Is a deplorable shortage of beef,\nhogs and sheep aH\" over the United\nStates.\nI have no Intention of selecting Mr.\nHill's Great Northern railway as tho\nchief culprit In rate discrimination\nagainst farmers. Southern Pacific can\ngive Mr. Hill lessons in the art of fleecing the fruit grower and the farmer,\nand so could others.\nWhat I want to convey is the fact that\nthe great exodus from the States to\nCanada Is due In no small measure to\nthe excessive tribute levied by the\nrailways on the American farmer and\nthe fear that railway rates will be still\nmore excessive in the future. The im*\nmenn over capitalisation of American\nrailways as compared with those of\nCanada, and the perfectly monstrous\nsystem of graft perpetrated on the rail*\n\"THE FINEST IN THE LAND\"\nGANONG'S\nChocolates\nEveryone eats them.\nEveryone sells them.\nKNOWLER & MACAULAY\nBritish Columbia Agents\nUNION GROCERY STORE\nIt would save you a considerable sum\nof money If you would call at the\nUnion Grocery Store and see our\nprices.

That one fact is luminous.\nEntrenched In Congress\nI find a general and fierce dissatisfaction in the western states. The farmers and merchants believe they are\nbeing discriminated against by both\nthe railways and the manufacturers of\nthe east. The beef trust, the private\ncar lines and the pampered express\ncompanies are objects ofi their special\nmalediction but they see the special interests so entrenched in congress that\nall hope of relief ls despaired of.

G. W.\nE.

He usually\nforced home a point with a good\nstory.

To which she replied, 'Well,\nI tried boiling water, and that did no\ngood.'\"\nHere are two anecdotes which Sir\nWilfrid was fond of relating. \"Somebody asked Spurgeon whether a man\nwho played a cornet could be a Christian. 'I don't know,' replied Spurgeon,\n'but the man who lived next door\ncould not.'\" Yet another one concerning Spurgeon relates how he once\nasked all who wished to go to Heaven\nto stand up, but a sailor kept his seat.\nSpurgeon asked him * If lie did not\nwish to go to Heaven? 'Not with such\na crew ns this,\" was the reply\nIn the days of his youth Sir Wilfrid\nwas very fond of hunting. As a\nmatter of fact, he bought the hounds\nwhich John Peel, of 'D'ye ken John\nPeel?\" fame, had hunted, and became master of the Cumberland Foxhounds. And incidentally it might\nbe mentioned that Sir Wilfrid settled >t.he right reading of the old song.\n\"When the famous song of John\nPeel spread from its native Cumberland all over the fox-hunting world,\npeople accustomed to the traditional\nscarlet thought it impossible that a\nmaster of the hounds could have\nhunted in a grey coat, and therefore\naltered \"His coat so grey,\" to \"His coat\nbo gay.\" But the emendation was at\nonce arbitrary and erroneouB.' Sir\nWilfrid has placed it on record that\n\"His grey coat Is no more a myth\nthan himself, for I well remember the\nlong, rough, grey garment which almost\ncame down to liis knees.\"\nIt was during these hunting days\nthat Sir Wilfrid also became acquainted with a Cumberland squire whose\nImprobable stories were a source of\nmuch amusement. This old squire\nwas very fond of telling the story\nof a favorite steady old pointer.\nOne day he lost the dog for a time,'\nand by and by, In looking for it,\nclimbed over a wall, when up got a\ncovey of partridges, and lo and behold, there was the pointer lying on\nite back, with all Its legs ln the air;\nThis, he explained, waa because the\ndog had tumbled on Its back in getting over the wall, and, Just at that\nmoment getting wind of the partridges, was too steady to alter the position dn which it was found.\n\"I hardly know a story to match\nthis,\" says Sir Wilfrid, \"except that of\nthe man who said liis dog could point\ngame anywhere, and that one day it\nstood stock still by the side of a man\nin Hyde Park.

Frank Cochrane, minister\nof lands, forests and mines. In addition to preserving - the forests the\nchange'in the government policy will\naffect the lumber -trade, and will bring\nin a substantial Increase in timber\nrevenue, but. it will not prove injurious to or embarrass the interests of\nthe lumber trade.\nDues and Rents.\nAll timber dues will be Increased by\nfifty cents per thousand feet board\nmeasure, bringing the dues on pine\nsaw logs up to $1.50 per thousand\nfeet board measure. Dues on square\ntimber have been increased from $20\nto $60 per thousand cubic feet, and\n25 cents per thousand feet has been\nadded to tbe dues on hemlock. Tliere\nare other small but unimportant increases. The question of ground rent\nalso was considered by the government, and it has been decided that\nthere should be an increase of $2 per\n' mile, bringing all ground rent up to $5\nper mile. There will thus be only\none rate of ground rent all over the\nprovince. It is interesting to note\nthat the province of Quebec also has\nincreased the ground rent on timber\nlimits from ?3 to ?5 a mile.\nTen years has been fixed by the\ngovernment as the time during which\nthe dues- shall not be raised, so that\nthere will be no uncertainty or unfairness In not having some definite period\nwithin which the dues Bhall not be\nraised.\nTransfer Fees Are Increased from $1\nto $5 a Mite.\nIn addition to the increase In timber\ndues and ground rents, the government bas decided that owners of timber limits must hire their own fire\nrangers and pay all expenses. The\ngovernment, however, will retain some\ncontrol over the men appointed, whose\nnames must be submitted to the department In case owners ot limits\nfall to appoint nre rangers, the govern*\nment will do ao and charge the expenses against the limits, withholding\nthe license until all such charges are\nraid. ;\nt\nTHEY say this store sets the pace, and it does.\n\u2022* Men who want \"the thing\" in Clothes,\nHats and Toggery, come here to get it.\nYou hear it everywhere\u2014\n\"If You Want the Best in Clothes\nGoto Emory & Walley\"\nThe cut of our garments show all\nthe right style features.

A cordon\nof troops surrounded the railway station\nand \"held hack the multitude which, in\nspite of the early hour, had congregated.\nThe representatives of the government and\nthe municipality extended a formal welcome to tlielr great guest, after which\nMr. Roosevelt and his son entered an\nautomobile ami were driven to the United\nStates embassey whore Mrs. Roosevelt and\nMiss Ethel were waiting them. This afternoon the official part ot Mr. Roosevelt's\nprogram consisted of calls upon President\nFullleres and Foreign Minister Ptehon,\nwho immediately afterwards paid return\nvisits to the American embassy, ,\nDenies Dispatch.\nMr. Boosevelt has issued a statement\nrelative to a Rome despatch last week\nquoting him as saying that upon his return to America he would do his utmost\nto \"drive from Rome the Methodists, who\ndisgraced any religion.\" Mr. Roosevelt\nsays that this statement was an unqualified falsehood. He says he never published\nor privately said anything resembling what\nthis despatch said.\nNEST OF MOURNING DOVE.\nBOSTON, April 81 .-Dr. Clifton P. Rodge\nof Clark university, Worcester, Mass., who\nIs at the head of the movement to preserve the Aferlcan wild pigeon or passenger pigeon from extinction, received from\nMiddlemlsf, Ont., a nest supposed to be\nthat of one of the rare birds. ,\nThe nest, however, proved to be that of\nn mourning dove and the claimant for the\n$1,000 reward offered for the discovery of\ntbe first nest loses. The seiller of tlie\nnest would have lost the reward anyway,\neven If his find had been a passenger\npigeon's nest, because it is expressly\nstated as a stipulation that the nest must\nhe undisturbed until Dr. Hodge sees it.\nThe fact that this nest wns that of a\nmourning dove leads Dr. Hodge to believe\nthat t'he first nest reported from Ontario\nIs also the noHt of a. mourning dove, be-\nonuse the second nest came from the same\nsection of country, which Indicates that\nmourning doves and not passenger pigeons\nare nesting there.\n,The mourning dove usually lays two\neggs In a nest less than 10 feet from the\nground, while the passenger pigeon ordinarily lavs one In a nest much higher up\nin the tree.\t\nDISPATCH OF TROOPS\nCAUSES APPREHEN3ION\nHAVANA, April 21\u2014The widespread\nsentiment of apprehension, the result\nof tho sudden dispatch from Cape Col*\numbla for Santa Clara, of a battalion of\ninfantry, a battalion of machine gun 3\nand a troop ot mounted rural guards\nhas been In no wise allayed by the state\nment given out at military headquarters\nthat the dispatch of the troops was\nmerely the carrying out of a long approved plan to statfon a garrison at\nSanta Clara.
