The points Involved are still\nbeing threshed out, however, particularly\nthat of bringing the Pullman train over\nthe lakes. If the company decides that\nthe cars must go around to Kootenay\nLundlng by Calgary and Macleod, the\nKootenay Itinerary must be abandoned.\nThe condition offered by the company Is\nthat Nelson become responsible for accommodation as well as for entertainment,\nnnd the size of the party, 175 persons, according to the last information, puts the\nproposal of hotel accommodation, for both\nphysical and unanclal reasons, out of the\nQuestion.

He was met\nat the wharf by a large gathering of\ncitizens who greeted his return enthusiastically by round after round of\ncheers, In reply to which he delivered\na brief address from the steps of the\nparliament building, (Concerning his\ntrip to the old land the premier has\nmuch of Interest to say. British Columbia, he says is today obtaining a\ngreater measure of truly intelligent in\nterest in Britain than ever before in\nIts history. The certainty of rapid de\nvelopment as a result of railroad con\nstruction is universally recognized and\non every hand discriminating Investors\nand industrial leaders are manifesting\nthe keenest Interest in all that concerns this province.

It is felt, said tne premier,\nthat the building up of a community\nof interest with the United States can\nnot but have the effect of coloring conditions and sentiment and inducing the\npeople of the Dominion, Unconsciously,\nperhaps but none the less surely to view\nworld queBtionB and even imperial questions through American spectacles.\nThe premier denies that he has any\npresent intention of entering tbe fed\neral arena hut while not being a candidate he will throw himself heart; and\nsoul into the fight and he predicts\nthe return of a solid Conservative delegation in the approaching elections.\nMr. McBride Is in the perfection of\nhealth and he seems to have grown\nten years younger during his three\nmonths  absence.\n(Special to The Dally News.)\nWelcome at Vancouver\nVANCOUVER, B.C., Aug. 3\u2014\"I do not\nintend to enter this election as a candidate, but will do my utmost, consistent with my position, to aid In the victory which I feel sure will crown the\nfederal Conservatives in this campaign.\"\n'Premier McBrlde made this statement in an interview prior to his welcome here today by members of the\nConservative party, but which took the\nform of a publlc reception. In reply to\nan address which approved of his stand\nagainBt reciprocity, the premier .-\npeated hiB view that such a measure\nwould lead to the exploitation of Canada by the United States. \"It would,'\nhe added, \"be a broken link in the\nchain of empire and if we believe In\none king and one flag, we must fight\nthis measure to the end.\"\nCriticizing Sir Wilfrid Laurier's\ntheory, advanced at the imperial conference that Canada could be neutral\nwhile Great 'Aunain was at war, Mr.\nMcBride asked: \"What would we think\nlf Great Britain announced that she\nwould be neutral while Canada waB at\nwar? The theory is absurd because we\nlive under the protection of the British\nflag. We are BritiBh people and we\nhave developed out present proud position under the fostering care of the\nmother country I feel sure that Sir\nWilfrid's argument \u2022will only Berve to\nstrengthen the ranks of the opposition\nand to make the country all the more\ndetermined to show Its attachment to\nflag and throne.\"\nStatus In England\nSpeaking of British Columbia's status\nIn England he said: \"We have borne an\nexcellent reputation In the past, but our\nstanding today In the eyeB   of   the\nBritish Parliament Will\nHold Autumn Session\nLONDON, Aug 8\u2014The government's\nlegislative program has become so congested that the cabinet at last has\ndecided that lt will be unable to olear\nthe decks without resort to an autumn\nsession and today officially informed\nthe house of commons that parliament\nwould be adjourned on Aug. 18 to tbe\nend of October or the beginning of\nNovember.

S. Goodeve, who\nhas so ably represented this constituency during the past three years, will\nbe the choice of the convention, providing he sees his way clear to again\naccept the honor of corrying the party's\nstandard, and he has said nothing to\nthe contrary up to the present.\nThe calling of this convention means\nthe opening of the Conservative campaign in this constituency and in this\nconnection it should he remembered\nthat the time between now and election\nday is extremely short, JuBt seven\nweeks from yesterday until the people\nwill he called upon to vote. The Conservatives of Kootenay must not await\nuntil a candidate has been selected to\ncommence the work of organization.\nCommittees should be struck and work\nshould he commenced upon the voters'\nlists without delay, for it must he remembered that a good candidate and a\ngood cause do not always win an election.

FRANK   OLIVER'S   POSITION.\nThere was , one man who was probably extremely thankful for the sudden\ndissolution of parliament. That man\nwas Hon. Frank Oliver, minister of the\ninterior. It will be remembered that\nsome months \u2022 ago now charges were\nmade that Mr. Oliver made a change in\nregard to the selection of the land\ngrant of a certain corporation very\nmuch to the corporation's advantage,\nand that about the same time some\n$60,000 was mysteriously added to Mr.\nOliver's bank account. The matter\ncame up in the houBe of commons and\na committee waa appointed to investigate the matter thoroughly, being empowered to call what witnesses it desired. The government members of\nthis committee throughout showed a\ngreat disinclination to get down to\nwork on the matter, and the house finally adjourned for two monthB without any progress being made.\nThen, when the house reassembled,\n.these government supporters still were\nunprepared to proceed. In fact, one of\nthem who had gone over to the mother\ncountry as a member of the Canadian\nparliamentary delegation to the coronation found the air of London so much\nmore to his taste than that of Ottawa\nthat he remained there as long as he\ndecently could, arriving home practically only in time for the dissolution.\nAs a result the charges against Mr.\nOliver have not heen investigated. Apparently the government preferred that\nMr. Oliver should remain under a cloud\nrather than that the factj should be\nbrought out.\nIs not this a most serious situation\nand one that reflects anything hut credit on both the government and on Mr.\nOliver. It serves to illustrate the extreme contempt with which Mr. Oliver\nand the government of which he is a\nmember regard the decencies of publlc\nlife. If Mr. Oliver is innocent it waB\ndue him and the country that the fact\nshould be established, while if he is not\ninnocent he should be driven from public life as one unfit to occupy a place\ntherein. Mr. Oliver, however, with this\ncloud hanging over him is brazenly appealing for re-election and is even leading the government forces in the three\nprairie provinces; in other words, he\nis acting as one of Sir Wilfrid Laurier's\nright hand men in the present campaign. Is this at all elevating, or Is it\nat all right?\n(Montreal Gazette.)\nAt the instance of Mr. Pugsley, minister of public works, It Ib announced\nin the St. John, N. B., papers that an\nengineer will be sent from Ottawa to\ntake steps to convert Fort Howe, a local piece of government property, from\n*'a bald eminence, treeless and frowning,\" into \"a place of beauty, cool, restful and in every way delightful,\" for\nthe use of the citizens.

Drawer 1048\nManager Insurance and Loan Dept\nCOMMUNICATIONS\nSALE   OF   DISEASED   MEAT.\nTo the Editor of The Dally News.\nSir: I was away when the discussion of the sale of the tubercular infected cattle arose, and I did not see\nthe pertinent letter of Mr. A. Gordon\nFrench until yesterday, but I wish, If\nnot too late to affect the market, to\nraise my voice in added protest to the\nsale of this diseased meat.\nThe dictum of the government In-\nspec'or that the meat of these dangerously diseased animals is fit for human\nfood Is greatly astonishing to me. Tuberculosis In any form Is too serious a\nmenace to human life and health to\nbear trifling with. The greatest scientific authorities differ as to the precise\nmanner in which the contagion is\nspread amongst human beings, hut\nnone now has the temerity to say that\nthe disease is not contagious or at least\ncommunicable.\nIf people stop to think about it I am\nsure they will not wish to risk eating\nany of this diseased meat at any price,\nas tuberculosis Is not confined to consumption of the lungs, but may attack\nany of the tissues of the body. It Is a\nve\"ry insidious disease and very difficult to combat. The great anti-tuber-\nculoBis societies recently formed in\nEngland, Canada and the United States\nto stop the spread of the \"white\nplague,\" as this terrible disease Is\ncalled, should be sufficient warning to\nthe most simple-minded of the danger\nof Trifling with it In any way. Shall\nwe riBk human lives and suffering for\nthe sake of saving the value of a paltry\nhundred odd head of diseased cattle?\nAsk thesg dairymen and the butchers\nand the government inspector If they\nwould care to eat the flesh of these\nanimals.\nThe trifling, carelesB, not to say possibly criminal manner In which this\nquestion bids fair to be handled In an |\nenlightened community is appalling to\nme as an evidence of the still inherent\nweakness of our system of handling\nquestions of the utmost public import.\nWhat is everybody's business is no-\nbodvV business. I venture to say that\ntherets in all probability a law on the\n\u25a0Statute Hooks of British Columbia under Which the sale of these diseased\ncattle could be legally prevented, and\nperhaps the persons concerned would\nhe even criminally liable for offering\nthe meat for sale.\nThe meat markets of the city. It is in\nteresting to note, either scenting an\naroused public indignation and wishing to anticipate it, or It may bo\nthrough the workings of the old proverb that the guilty betray themselves,\nhave\" placed loud looking signs in their\nwindows' reading to the effect that they\n\"sell only government inspected meat.\"\nNo doubt, the conception of these Bigns\nwas well intentloned, but the deduction\nwhich may be drawn is unavoidable\nthough Invidious, unless one believes\nthat the Intent of the signs was a subtle and huge joke. Of course, this diseased meat is \"government Inspected,\"\ndoubly inspected, one Bhould say.\nThe\" question, however, is too serious\nfor joking, and grave enough to warrant the suggestion that any meat\nshops known to be selling the meat of\nthese infected cattle should be boycotted hy the' public. The question should\nbe seriously considered and the selling\nof the cattle as meat, if not yet all\nsold, prevented by intelligent public\ninquiry and agitation. The above suggestion Is not intended to do any willful harm~to the meat shops of Nelson\nand this letter is not specially directed\nagainst them, as the writer is of the\nopinion\" that they, if as yet guilty, are\ninnocently bo, and unblameably so, as\nthey have the warrant and stamp of\napproval of the government inspector.\nBut it should be the business of the\ncity health officer, or whoever it is\nthat has supervision over such matters\n\u2014more probably the local government\nmeat inspector\u2014to establish what has\nbecome of these cows, of what is being\ndone with them and where they are\ngoing and the information given to the\npublic.

Although Mr. Lawrence's refusal to enter the reply in his statistics offers no excuse for the presentation of this query before the commission in which case I am sure the concensus of opinion amongst the fruit\ngrowers would be unanimous as against\nthe justice of the proposed reciprocity\npact.\nJ.

There was marked\nweakness In the coppers, southern railway\nshares and a number of industrials of\nminor Importance. The decline was arrested for a time In the early session,\nwhen buying of the standard stocks for\nspeculative leaders Impelled extensive\nshort covering and prices soon were well\nabove yesterday's final quotations. On\nthe rise, however, the market became very\ndull.\nDuring the frequent periods of stagnation gossip was busy with the causes for\nthe reversal ln the market. Rumor assigned the short selling to the operations\nln the western grain trades, while the\nliquidation was attributed in part to the\nprecipitation of doings of a local operator,\nwho Is currently reported to have suffered severely on the bull side of the common -market. No other rumor was containable, although both possessed the elements of plausibility. Among the incidents which tended to restrain bullish activity was a further weakness of standard\nOU on the curb.

His Invention was the elevator, undoubtedly\none of the most important and useful\nInventions of the 19th century. Without the facilities offered by the elevator for reaching any desired height\nthe tall buildings of today It is nardly\nnecessary to state would be wholly impracticable.\nOtis began life as a farmer but hh<\ninventive genius led him to turn his\natentlon to mechanical pursuits. After\nengaging in various lines of manufacturing ln Albany, Troy and one or two\nother placeB he finally located In Yon-\nkers where he was given charge of the\nerection of some buildings for a manufacturing company.\nIn erecting the buildings it became\nnecessary to construoe an elevator for\nuse on the premises and in connection\nwith this Mr. Otis devised a plan to\nprevent the fall of the platform in case\nthe hoisting cables Bhould break- It\nwas this safety device that brought the\nelevator into general use.\nMr. Otis first demonstrated the\nsafety and utility of his invention at\nthe international exposition held in\nNew York city in 1863. within a few\nyears thereafter the elevator system\nwaB introduced into public buildings.\nThe old Fifth Avenue hotel which was\nCUNARD LINE\nCANADIAN SERVICE\nDo you know you can travel between Canada and England by the\nold reliable Cunard line direct\nCanadian service, sailing from\nMontreal, London and Southampton.?
