JANUARY 24, 1913\nABLE SPEECH BY\nMEMBER FOR NELSON\nCriticises Findings of Doukhobor Commissioner\nNEED FOR ROADS\n19 EMPA8IZED\nNelson District Greatly Handicapped-Increased Salaries for Civil Servants\n(Special to The Daily News.)\nVJpTO-HlA, B.    C,    Jan.    23.\u2014Two\n. contributions  to   the   debate  on    his\n\"honor's speech were made ln tho legis*\nlatd-ra today introducing tho new mem-\n-bers'for Nelson and Nanaimo.     Tho\nformer made a distinctly favorable impression,  speaking:  with  easy  confidence and business-like  brevity    upon\nmatters peculiarly concerning his own\nparticular district, while also exhibiting both fluency and humor.   A considerable portion of his address   was\ndevoted to tho Doukhobor question in\nregard to which he is obviously   dls-\neausijed with the findings and recommendations  of  the commissioner. 'In\njustification of this variance Mr. Mac-'\nlean pointed out that although he had\n| suggested able counsel to protect the\ninterests of independent witnesses, his\n1 suggestion had been ignored by Commissioner  Blakemore,  who  held   thai\nlie himself was quite capable of con-\n. ducting the Investigation   unassisted.\n( The Doukhobors, however, had    been\n1 represented by one of tho best lawyers\n.of the Kootenay and also by A.   Ai.\n[ Evalenko of New York, a distinguished attorney, whom they had  import-\n| ed to specially advise them, and who\n[.at the same time was permitted tVa-di\nfas interpreter during part of thu com-\nI mission's proceedings.   As a result ol\n[ their fanatical belief in Peter Veregln\nland their awe of the learned counsel\n1 supporting that leader, the independ-\nI ont'Ddukhobors had beon peculiarly r.\nL ticent. and had withheld many thing:\n' which the   commission    should havi\nI brought out.      Other . witnesses,   too,\nI were not altogether disinterested.\nThere were among thom several\nLi-salt:\/..dealers who enjoyed profitable\nJ business relations with the Doukho\nI.-bors.\" Mr. Maclean traced lhe hlstor.v\n1 of \"'the Doukhobors, quoting from th'\nI authoritative work of Aylmer *Maude\n[and 'showing'that members of this sect\nt a&tiy'-'belief In\", any form of govern\nI raetil, are' opposed to war and reject\n| -aS\" Undesirable any punishment for\nI 6Mme'except by the operation of con-\nI fltlence.

Maclean cited one\nI Instance in connection with the separa\nI tion 'by agreement of a community\nI couble'named Bherberskoff.

In another case a couple\nby the name of Shlstlbetoff had separ\nated without even such assistance, and\nwere now leading their separate lives\nwithin the community. He held that\nsuch laxity was a dangerous innovation In this land. The Ncison real estate agent who had acred in the matter of separation of the Sherberskoffs'\nhnd subsequently been one of the witnesses heard by the commission, Mr.\nMaclean desired to place himself on\nrecord as opposed to any latitude being\ngiven the Doukhobors which was not\nequally enjoyed by ail others of the\nprovince. ___\nHe had no sympathy with the patriarchal form of government, and held\nthat such a system should not be countenanced in this free British province,\nthat Peter Veregin should bo recognized and dealt with solely as an individual, that the one man rule of\nthousands should be stopped at once.\nThe Doukhobor communal system, in\nhis opinion, constituted one of \u25a0 tho\nmost dangerous trusts in human history, dealing as it did In human liven\nand perchance in human souls. He\nhoped the government might speedily\ndevise means for placing these .colonists on the same footing as other residents.\nRoad Questions.\nMr. Maclean dealt also, briefly, with\nroad qucationa, the, vice regal visit n\nlast summer and tlie satisfactory status of the mining Industry. Touching\nthe first-mentioned subject, he remark\ned that the member for Newcastle\nshould feel himself fortunate since, ll\nhis district (although represented bj\nan oppositionist), thp government hai\nbuilt some of the beat roads mone>\ncould produce. Other districts, nl\nthough represented by supporters o'\nthe administration, had been less for\ntunnte, in which connection ho refor\nred to conditions obtaining In** the ter\nrllory near Nolson and across the lak\nfrom that city.

Today a vast\ncrowd drawn from all classes of tho\nproletariat declared for war rather\nthan peace without Adrlanople. Bo\ncause not backed by public opinion the\ncabinet relinquished office, making\nway for the same men whom the popular government brought to the top\nalter the revolution of 1908 and 1909.\nThe council of minister met shortly\nbefore noon to give final shape to\nthe note accepting the note of the\npowers.. A crowd from all quarters\nbegan to gather in front of the gate\nof the vizierate. Enver Bey, one of\nthi\u00bb leaders of the Young Turks who\nwas identified with the campaign in\nTripoli nnd Nadeje Bey, a Unionist,\narrived about this time and were deputed to inform the cabinet thai\nmust retire, Enver Bey soon issued\nfr_om tho Vlzerate and announced that\nhe held the resignations of Klamil\nPasha which he was taking to th'\npalace. This was greeted with tre\nmendous cheering which was renewed\nan hour later when an iriide was issued making Shefket Pasha war mln\nIster.\n\u2022\u2022After a-flying'-visit to the porte on\nbi5 return from the palace tho-Young\nTurk leader proceeded to the residence\nol Mahmoud Shefket to communicate\nthe imperial message. Meanwhile,\nTalaat Bey assumed provisionally the\nportfolio of the ministry of the interior\nand Exzet Pasha that of war. In an\ninterview Talaat Bey said that tho\nmovement had not been planned but\nwas the outcome of popular feeling\nowing to the attitude of the government. If Adrianople were abandoned,\nho said, disturbances would break out\nover the length and breadth of the\nempire. With regard to money the\nwhole nation would make a sacrifice,\n\"No compromise is possible,\" he\ncontinued. \"The change in the cabinet means that we are going to save\ntlu national honor or perls'b in , iln\nattempt. We do not want a continuation of the war but we are determined\nto keep the fortress of Adrianople at\nnli costs. That Is an indispensible\ncondition of peace.\"\nTalaat Bey summoned N,oradungh-\nlan Effendl this evening for a con\nsulfation on the foreign situation, All\nthe Constantinople newspapers not\nbelonging to the Young Turks have\nbeen suspended.

The Turkish'\ndelegates have cherished the conviction that abandonment of Adrlanople\nby the ministry would bring a Young\nTurk cabinet Into power.

If Great Britain is\nnot satisfied on these points the United States proposes a special commission of adjustment.\nThe communication is devoted to thi\npurpose of reducing to the smallest\npoint and number tho Issues upon\nwhich the two government failed to\nagree and as to these\u2014only two\u2014It is\ncontended that they are entirely susceptible of adjustment by diplomatic\nmeans, and without recourse to arbitration, If this course should not prove\nacceptable to the British government\ni*j Is suggested that tho whole controversy be referred ro a special commission, provision for which is made by\nthe Knox-Bryce treaty.\nThat convention was approved by\nthe senate with an amendment which\ncurtailed the power of the special commission of Inquiry to more Investigation and report, and refused to permit\nthe commission to bind cither country\nto a course of arbitration in its findings. Because of thla amendment,\nPresident Taft has so far declined to\nconsummate the treaty by exchanging\nratifications with tho British government. To meet the needs of this present issue, Secretary Knox now offers\nto give life to the treaty by an important change of ratifications which\nwould insure the existence of a general\narbitration between America and\nGreat Britain after the lapse of the existing Hay-Pauncefoto treaty on Juni\nA next. As an alternative the secretary Is willing lhat a commission be\ncreated for tlve special purpose of as\ncertaining tlie facts in regard to the\neffect on British shipping of the Pan\ntuna tolls act anil the proclamation\nfixing the tolls.\nMuch of the secretary's argument\nrests upon his contention that Sir Ed\nward Grey's protest being made in advance of the Issue of the president's\nproclamation fixing the tolls is entirely Inapplicable to the controversy in\nits present slate, and that as a matter\no\u00b0 fact, the British contention rests\nupon apprehension of things that may\nhappen in the future to the injury of\nPiitisli shipping, which in all probability never will occur.\nNot Convincing.\n(By Daily News Leased Wire.)\nLONDON, Jan. 24.\u2014The reply of the\nAmerican secretary of state to the\nBritish protest with reference to Panama was issued here late tonight.

He stated that the\nAgricultural act would be amended so\nas to allow of loans being given to\nfarmers, who, however, would have\nto co-operate and subscribe from .20\nto 25 per cent of the loans. He stated\nthat the cost of stumping powder was\nlikely to go highes instead of lower.\nT!iis was owing to the rise in the cost\nof material and further restrictions In\nthe matter of public safety. In this\nrespect he intimated the posslblity of\ntbe province adopting In Its entirety\nthe English Explosives act. He said\nthat he was In favor of equal import\nand export duties on fruit and that\ntho province would take up and press\n(his matter on the attention of the\nfederal authorities. A pressing question was the encouragement of the\nhome market. Victoria and Vancouver people comnlained that they were\nunable to get British Columbia fruit\nbut ho thought this condition of affairs could be rectified If the people\ntook the trouble to give more atten-.\ntion to the home market. He supported the necessity of a fruit quarantine being established against outside Infected countries.\nAt today's session of the British Columbia poulcrymen It was decided to\nhold the next provincial show at Grand\nForks from December 9 to 12.

Tho amendment proposed by Andrew Bonar Law, the opposition leader, to reject tho premier's\ntime limitations ln the debate was defeated by a vote of 259 to 191.\nSpeaker Lowther made a pronouncement in the commons which possibly\nis ominous of the fate of the women's\nsuffrage amendment and may rally\nenough radicals against it to effectively frustrate the women's desire. He\nwati asked by Mr. Bonar Law for a\nruling as to whether tho proposed\namendments would not so materially\nalter the hill that by tho -nractico in\nthn house Its withdrawal would be\nnccossiated and the bill would have\nto bo re-introduced. The speaker,\nwithout committing himself to what\nmight happen ln the present case, snld\nthe general rule of parliament   was\nthat if the form and substance of the\nbill wero materially changed by\namendments It would bo withdrawn\nand a new bill presented. The speaker's statement created a profound Impression and efforts havo been {redoubled to assure the safe passage of\nthe franchise reform bill- by defeat'nfj\nthe women's suffrage amendment introduced by Sir Edward Grey. Tho\ncabinet hold a meeting this afternoon\nto consider the result of the speaker's\nstatement but no decision was teaoh-\ned, An adjournment was taken untit\ntomorrow morning but the general\nopinion prevails that whatever the result of the Grey amendment the government will drop the franchise bill.\nThe leading euffraglsta are [greatly\ndisheartened.

I allude to tbe purchase by\nthe Canadian Pacific Railway com-\npany of the Kaslo and Slocan railway\nand the agreement to standardize and\noperate the same. Thig has been ae-\ncrmpllshcd largely through the good\noffices of the premier, Sir Richard McBride, and we owe him our thanks for\nsecuring this whieh means so much\nto this district.\n\"As you are aware this question lias\nbeen before the associated boards in\n{.lie form or another for the last three\nyears, and on behalf of Kaslo 1 wish\nti thank the associated boards for the\nassistance they rendered. It is a\ngreat relief to know that we are now\nto have adequate transportation facilities which Is so necessary to our industries.\n\"Along the line of the Kaslo and\nSlocan railway mining is being ac*\ntcely carried on and many properties\nare being developed.

Much advice has\nbeen given on this subject and some\nexperience' tried, and if success has\nnot been attained It is no great re-\nfieclioh on- either tho grower or the\ndistrict,' as' older communities have\nyet to solve this perplexing problem.\n,. Central Control\n\u00bb\"Our neighbors to the south of us\nin the states of Washington, Oregon,\nIdaho, and Montana have tried many\nplans only to discard them from time\nto time and are at present working\ntoward one grand central control. Our\ndistrict Is yet new and for a time only\na limited quantity of fruit will be exported, but It will pay the grower to\nstudy the plans adopted \"by these\nstates and profit by tholr experience.\n'The general impression is thnt too\nmany varieties of apples are being\nplanted, and I 'believe it would be a\nvery wise plan for the growers of a\ndistrict to get together and agree upon\nthe varieties best suited to each district and confine themselves to these\nand aim to grow only what will attain perfection. With a few varieties\nthat will grade well and with care in\npacking a reputation will soon be\nmade that will help eliminate some of\nthe marketing troubles.\n\"The Kaslo board of trade are advocates of 'good roads' and we hope that\nthe coming year will see many missing\nlinks conflicted up and the roads already built improved, many of them\nbeing very narrow at present. We\nalso hope to see some progress on the\nroad -connecting East and West Kootenay via Earl Grey pass, the road that\nKasld has persistently advocated.\n\"A good \u25a0 automobile road around\nKootenay lake would ho a great drawing card especially if connected with\nroads to the east, west and south, and\nI venture to say that U would be but\na short time before the shores of beau-\niful Kootenay lake would be dotted\nwith cottages from end to end.\n\"I wish to express my thanks for\ntho honor conferred upon me by this\nbody in twice electing me first vice-\npresident.''\nchurch on Sunday and addressed the\ncongregation, of which he was a former pastor.

He can refuse to\npass any accounts presented to him,\nthe only way in which his rulings can\nbe over-ridden being by resolution of\nthe treasury board, a committee of the\ncabinet. In such a case the auditor-\ngeneral will report the eii-eiimstan.*\"'s\nto' the legislature, where, if thero has\nbeen any Irregularity, It may be publicly discussed.\nAn official with powers such as It is\nproposed to confer upon the auditor-\ngeneral becomes the watch dog of the\ntreasury. He stands between the people and the government of the day,\nguarding the interests ot the former\nagainst any possible raids by graft-\nhungry parasites of the latter.\nThat the government should undertake the appointment of such an official demonstrates the desire of Sir\nRichard McBride and his colleagues\nto give the people of British Columbia\nliunest,   as  well    as.    efficient govern-\nT\nfeel called upon to make any apology\nfor that circumstance. Other men who\nhave gone forth into the world have,\nbeen proud to call the \"bluegrass\nstate\" the land of their nativity So are\nWe. We are Just as proud of the fact\nthat we grew to.munhood in the Corn-\ncracker commonwealth.

Trail, for example, ran a special train to Nelson for her last game\nhere and Nelson reciprocated by running a special train to Trail for Wed-.\nneBClay evening's fixture.\nAll this denotes not only the existence of the spirit of healthy rivalry\nso essential to the success of any line\nq'j tsrport, but lt also denotes the\nra-s-i-vth of a more friendly spirit\namong the various communities which\ngo, to make up districts known as\nKqotenay and the Boundary.\nThis friendly spirit should be developed in all other fields of endeavor\nas, ;well as in sport. All that is necessary, is for each section to realize that\nit could not enjoy its present measure\nof, success and prosperity were It not\nfor the existence of neighboring communities, and that the country is large\nenough and rich enough to guarantee\na future for all.\nWere It not for Rossland and Trail\nthere would likely be no hockey team\nin Nelson and no West Kootenay hockey division, and were it not for the\nexistence of Grand Forks, Phoenix nnd\nGreenwood there would be no Boundary1 division, and consequently no\nKootenay-Boundary Hockey league.\nAnd what applies in sport, applies also\nIn other matters.

Mr. Oliver pointed out that in last year's act there was\none clause which excluded some oJ\n\u25a0those Who were evidently' Intended to\nbe included and suggested that it\nshould be remedied.\nWest Indies Agreement,\nThe second reading of the Wc3t In*\ndies agreement was then moved by\nHon. George E. Foster. He .said that\nan the measure had been thoroughly\ndiscussed on the introduction of the\nresolution und as the passage had been\nfavored by the country ho would not\nspend any more time in discussing the\nmeasure, und was ready to have It go\nai once into tho committee stage.\nA. K. Maclean of Halifax spoke at\nlength for the opposition. The early\npart of his speech was directed at the\nminister who, he said, had made the\nstatement in Englnnd that If there had,\nbeen a different result on Sept. 12,\n\u25a0H-ll, thero would have been no West\nIndies trade ngreement. Mr. Maclean\nsaid this statement was unworthy of\nthe minister and was to be resented.\n\"There are too many men in Englnnd,\"\nhe said, \"taking the view that the cm\nplre was saved by the defeat of reciprocity.\"\nHe went on to speak of the \"inane\nand puerile remarks from travelling\nunionists in Canada who say that the\nConservative party saved the empire,\nand to the \"muddling and vacuous\nviews of Unionists like Mr, Walter\nLong, much of which was a gratuitous\ninsult.''\n\"The peripatetic Unionists do not do\nthemselves the credit or justice of obtaining even a superficial knowledge\nof what the agreement meant\/ said\nMr. Maclean. \"I protest against these\nobservations made from time to lime\nIt Is hard to endure this contented ignorance of Canadian affairs, and it 1\u00b0\nonly natural that it be resented on this\nside of the water. It would hotter become them to devote their time   and\ntalents to settling the difficult questions confronting them at home and\nwhen they have settled these it will\nbe timo enough for them to attempt\nto settle Canadian affairs.- It Is difficult for Canadians to accept this offensive intrusion of Englishmen In our\naffairs, but I sincerely hope the country will not suffer anything by it.\"\nMr. Maclean said that the Liberal\nparty must welcome any tariff arrangement between Canada and uriy\nother country and would particularly\nwelcome the West Indies agreement,\nas they have been the pioneers in the\ndevelopment of closer trade relations\nin this direction. \"Had it not been for\nthe tariff policy inaugurated by the\ngovernment preceding the present government,\" he said, \"it would have been\nutterly Impossible to secure the consummation of the agreement with the\nWest Indies now before the house.*'\nMr. Maclean noted that as a result\nof the agreement that articles such as\ncocoa beans, lime Juice and limes now\non the free list will become dutiable.\nHo hoped the government would be\nable to justify these changes.\nDr. Michael Clark of Red Deer\nthought that the role of self-imposed\nsilence on the part of Mr. Foster was\nvery strange. He could quite under\nstand, however, in view of what bad\nhappened In regard to the preference\nIt would not be palatable to the minister to discuss that question.\nMr, Foster knows, he said, that thr\nquestion of preferential trading within\nthe empire is nlmosi a corpse at the\nheart of the empire, where it Is realized that tariff reform Is dead. If\nthat is so there can be no preference\nand Canada would do the common-\nsense thing if it would place its trade\n\"basts as had Great Britain. Then the\nDominion would achieve commercial greatness as the mothqr country\nhad. Dr. Clark suspected that Mr.\nFoster, who was the father of the pn-\nferential idea, had played a pnrt In\nthe recent events. Ho was tlie fathei\nof the movement thut got Its reply In\nBolton by-election, which undermined\nthe whole structure. Dr. Clark said\nhe did not desire to he offensive, bul\nthe way in whieh Mr. Borden had has\ntened to say that he had no connection with Bonar Law reminded him oi\nthe proverbial rat leaving a sinking\nship.\nMr. Foster, he said, had been a ureal\nexponent of the idea that trade arrangements mean loss of fiscal Inde\npendence. However, this little mouse\nHie smallest that .over proceeded fron*\na grent mountain, could not undermine\nthe independence df- Canada. It hue\nsome features objectionable to a free\ntrader, but anything to extend th\ntrade of tlio Dominion was welconn\nThe minister proposed shortly to n-\ngotidto treaties with Australia, Kev\nZealand and perhaps Germany. U\nwould remind him that our combine\ntrade with these countries am.itints l<\nonly $10,000,000 per annum, as agalnsi\na total trade of ?40C,O0O,OC0 with tin\nUnited States. The Conservative pert:.\nby defeating reciprocity, claimed ti\nhave saved the empire. They are sa\\\ning it again now with a gift of $3u\n000,000 and some of them think it necessary to save it every Ihree weeks\nDr. Clark said he would af.lt tho mln\nisler what he proposed to give in re\nturn for the loss sustained by the dt-\nfeat of reciprocity. The (rouble Willi\nthe proposed trip to Australia was\nthat the travelling expenses of Can\nada's agent will, In all probability, hi\nmore than the profits of the expedl\ntion.\nHe described the trip as a frivolous\npiece of statesmanship In view of the\nfact that much more profitable agree\nincnts might be made at Washington\nNero, he said, was a Berlous-minded person compared with the minister of trade\nand commerce.\nDr. Clark then touched on western\nconditions and said that tin- oats- now\nIn the -barns of the farmers of Saskatchewan and Alberta cannot he marketed\nat a price covering the cost of production. An Immense trade ln coke could\nbo worked up between llritlsb '..'ulumtii'i\nand the Unlled States if coke had free\nentry to the American mnrket. These\nthings may be a trifling matter to those\nwho spend their time In empire building, but they are not trifling matters\nto tho men of the west who are the\nreal  empire   builder!*.\nHon. .W. T. Wiille agreed that there\nwas no danger to Cjinada in the agreement The speeches of Dr. Clark, ho\nsaid, were always Interesting, and lie\nwas interesting personally because he\nwas one of a few specimens of free\ntraders still extant In Canada. He was\nono of the Manchester school and tin-\nfollower of Cobden and Bright. Much\nto his surprise, however, he had during\nthe naval debate declared himself to be\na rabid prdteetionlst. He could change\nhis colors with tho greatest ease, aa was\nshown in the debate on the navy resolution.\nDr. Clark raised the point of order\nthat a previous debate could not he referred to.\nMr. White twitted him with being unwilling to have Ids remarks quoted.\nDr. Clark said that as a member of\nthe house ho wns willing to give and\nreceive hard knocks, but that he was\nsomething of a stickler for tho rules,\nwhich are bigger than Mr. White or\nhimself. After a little cross-firing Mr.\nWhite got around the objection by referring to speeches made by Dr, Clark\nIn the west, In which he Bald that the\nCanadian navy should be built in Canada even If It Cost more.\nMr. Pugsley: \"What do you say?\"\n\u25a0Mr. White replied'; that when he Bpokc\non the nnvnl resolution he hoped to be\nable to demonstrate that it would be\nagainst the Interests of the empire and\nwould waste time by building tn Canada.\nK. M. Macdonald asked him If he\nwould demonstrate that It would be\nagainst the Interests of Canada. Mr.\nWhite retorted that he would deal wllh\nthat question at the proper time.\nTurning to Dr. Clark again he said\nthat the argument of the member was\nInconsistent In one who alwayB advocated buying and selling in the cheapest\nmarket,\nAs for reciprocity, Mr. White said ho\nwould like to speak with* respect of the\ndead. He believed the resolution was\ndead und reminded tho opposition that\ntt was the people and not the government who killed it Llbei-als hnd made\na great political mistake and It would\nbe better for them lf they would realize\nIt and not be so obsessed with tholr\npresent Ideas, because there Is no widespread feeling in Canada In favor of\nthe Idea.    Reciprocity,  he  said,  wnuld\nhave jeopardized bur fiscal independence.\nPresident Taft had said that it would\ntransfer our bank credits and business\nto Chicago.\nMr. Pugsley\u2014\"Do you believe that\nMr. White\u2014\"It would hnve had a serious effect on all Canadian cities.\"\nHe added thut after two years' consideration the people had given a sound\nJudgment and tliey would not go back\non It\nAfter Mr. White laid concluded, Mr.\nFoster rose and said that he must insist on the discussion being confined to\nthe  bill   under  consideration.\nSTANDING COMMITTEE    OF\nREVELSTOKE'S NEW COUNCIL'\n(Special to The Dally Hews.)\nREVELSTOKE, B.

Jan.   23.\u2014At   the\nmeeting   of  the   new   city   council   laid\nnight the following reports were handed\nln:\nTo His -Worship the Mayor and' Aldermen, Corporation ot City of Rossland,\nthrough Chairman Fire, Water and\nLight Committee Gentlemen; I would\nrespectfully submit for your consideration my report as foreman of the city\nwater works department from March 1,\n1912,  to date;\nSupply\u2014Upon assuming charge as foreman I found that the city was practically upon the old and leaking eight-\ninch main, from the reservoir down, for\nsupply, the newer 10-Inch main being out\nof commission. This, however,' was\nspeedily remedied by the 10-inch main\nbeing put In service. A new eight-Inch\nvalve was put ln the old main above the\nfirst distribution -service oh Spokane\nstreet north, and that portion which was\na continuous source of waste and trouble\nwas put out or the service. Nevertheless lt is In audi shape that In csbg of\nemergency, that Is, ln case of a large\nfire, where more than four streams of\nwater under full pressure are needed,\nor in case of accident to the 10-inch\nmain, it can be promptly put In service.\nThe two wooden tanks were both out of\ncommission. The old \"Virginia\" or fire\ntank was overhotfled and recaulked, and\nby reducing the pressure on the bottom\nby carrying five feet of water, in place\nof seven, was made practically watertight. The upper tank was recaulked\nand Is also tight, and considering its\nage is In good condition.\nStage Pipe\u2014The trestles on the stave\npipe line were relnformed where necessary and a large number of new and\nheavier bands were put .in where the\npressure la heaviest; so that since early\nsummer there has been no trouble from\nleaks or other causes Before snow fell\ntho earth covering was renewed wherever necessary.\nDam\u2014Repairs to Sotnoy creek includes\na new and larger Intake screen, some\nreinforcing with new timbers and somo\ncement facing on south end.\nRock Creek Flume\u2014All bush and fallen\ntimber was cleared off this line from\nRock creek In, and new covers were put\nwhere needed. The supply system is at\npresent in good worltln-*: order nnd in\ngood repair excepting only that portion\nof the old 8-Inch main referred to above.\nIn proof of which I would respectfully\npoint out that a good overflow has been\nmaintained at tho reservoir continuously since the break-up iust spring, and\nthat the maximum fire pressure has\nbeen maintained without' one minute's\nintermission since the month of March\nlast. Owing to the number of years that\nthe present supply system has been in\nservice It is not reasonable to predict\nthat the one cost of maintenance can\nbe reduced from year to year The supply of water available at this date U\nample  for all  contingencies.\nDistribution.\u2014During tlie year the\nfollowing extensions and Improvements\nhave been made: A new 3-inch main wus\nlaid on Park street from south line of\nCol. ave C. P R. track with the 4-lnch\ncast on Lo Rol ave. Circuit was made\nwith tho %-litch lateral which supplied\nthe north side of Col ave. from Butte\nstreet east, in addition to supplying\nGeorsla street north and Park street\nnorth. This has materially relieved tho\nheavy drain on this small pipe. A fire\nplug: was installed at the southeast corner of Columbia uvenue and Park street,\nthus giving fire protection to a district\npreviously without It This work necessitated the laying- of m feet of three-\ninch screw pipe. Alley north of Third\navenue and west of Quetin Street. This\nthree-fiuarter inch lateral was ox-tended\nwesterly 140 feet, in order to give service in tho Bection Alley south of Le\nRol and west of Georgia street, onc-lialf\nInch service in this alley was black pipe\nund rusted out It was replaced with\nthree-quarter incli galvanized iron plpo\nand extended, westerly iO feet.

The report contains\na complete record of the operations of\nthe department, embracing the number\nand cause of fires that occurred during\nthe year, the losses, amount of insurance paid, and such information as Is\nthought proper for your consideration at\nthis time. Tho department during tho\nyear responded to 39 culls, 24 more than\nshown on the report of last year, and\nclassified as follows: Box alarms, 25;\ntelephone alarms,  12;   still alarms,   two,\nTotal loss from fire. $j,fW.G0; insurance,\n$3,847.50; net loss, $2,060.\n-Note.\u2014$3,000 of the fire loss was the\nCentre Star assay offlcoT on June 17,\nWhich wa& fully covered by Insurance.\nIn the caso of the St. Charles' fire of\nJuly 17, the Insurance adjuster, not being satisfied as to its origin, the insurance as yet has not been paid. The\nloss at this fire was $1,300. Numerous\nchimney fires were attended during the\nyear by individual members of the department, which wore not recorded as\nactual alarms, as no apparatus responded.\nFire Hose\u2014There Is at present 4.000\nfeet of 2%-lnch cotton covered, rubber\nlined hose In service, distributed as follows: 1,000 feet on sleigh, 1,000 foot In\nreserve; 750 feet on cart at band stand,\n150 feet on cart at Washington street and\nFirst avenue, GOO feet on wagon In hall,\n300 feet and nozzle at Virginia tank.\nThere Is also 600 feet of old-hose suitable only for flushing sowers or irrigation purposes, and which 'could be sold\nfor the latter purpose.\nl-Iurscs-QHUri of the horses on tlie de\npartment ln the early part of the year\nwas exchanged for one from the sanitary department; It not being suitable\nfor fire department'work, and as a result both teams are now -bn-fter matched.\nApparatus\u2014All apparatus and equipment Is. lu good condition and repair.\nStreet Lighting\u2014During the year the\nfire department replaced 82 lncundescent\nlumps.\nHydrants\u2014There are at present 32 hydrants and seven stand-pipes, which\naverage 150 pounds pressure.\nAlarm Boxes\u2014There are 23 alarm\nboxes, all in good condition, as well as\nthe rest of the fire alarm system.\nGeneral Remarks\u2014The chemical engine\nbeing of no practical use during the\nwinter haa been stored In the board of\nworks shed. The reason for taking lt\nout of service was on account of Its\nwide gauge and weight, which renders\nit practically useless In deep snow. The\nhose wagon, carrying the sume amount\nof hose and being much lighter, hus been\nput In service In place of the chemical.*\nThe ambulance early lu the year was\nplaced in the fire hall, where It could\nreceive better attention, not be exposed\nto changes of temperature and be more\naccessible when needed. New sleighs\nwero innde for it this winter, which render it more comfortable and safer than\nheretofore. A number of repairs and\nalterations were made to the fire hall\nin the spring and early part of the'year,\nsuch as widening the stalls for the\nhorses, thereby giving them ample room\nto lie down and rest comfortably, which\nhas added greatly to their condition. A\nnew galvanized Iron roof was placed on\nthe upper deck of the tower to prevent\nits leaking on the bell striker. The underpinning of the building was repaired\nto prevent tho floors from further settling, and the basement floor removed,\nit having served Its time of usefulness.\nTho main roof of the building had to\nbe repaired in several places to prevent\nleaking, which had In places damaged\nthe plaster of the Interior.\nRecommendations\u2014I would recommend\nthat the city council draw attention to\nsection 8 of bylaw No. 3, being a bylaw\ngoverning the storago of explosives and\ninflammable material; also the cleaning\nof chimneys. Owing to the frequent occurrence of chimney fires a serious conflagration may at any time occur as a\nresult of neglecting to, give chimneys\nproper attention in the way of cleaning*,\nThere 'being no hydrant at the foot of\nWashington street hill, on the corner of\nCook avenue, for the protection of property In that locality, I would recommend\nthat one be placed there. At present\nshould a fire occur In fHat neighborhood\nit would necessitate laying hose from\nColumbia avenue and Washington street\nor from tlfe stand pipe at the railway\ncrossing on Spokane street. I would also\nrecommend that two or three call men\nbe employed, who would sleep In the\nfire hall and thereby render the department the necessm-y assistance required\nat the very start at a fire, which Is the\nmost essential. The present arrangement\nIs such that those who respond to\nalarms, living at a distance from the\nhall, ln some cases out of hearing of\ntiie bell and not being equipped to respond quickly, are unable to give tho\nhelp required at the most critical time.\nThere being no drainage in tbe basement\nof the fire hall' stagnant 'water is allowed to remain, which renders the con\ndltlon unhealthy, and 1 would suggest\nthat steps be taken to overcome this.\nConclusion\u2014In conclusion, I desire to\nexpress my thanks to the city council\nfor their co-operation with me during\nthe year In placing the department upon\nits present basis of efficiency. I also\nwish to thank the police department,\nboard of works, city clerk and all citizens for the valuable asslstanc-e rendered\nat the different fires which occurred\nthroughout the year. It affords me great\npleasure to be able to testify to the loyal\nsupport, able assistance und courage\ndisplayed by the members Sf the department and to the satisfactory way in\nwhich they performed their duties.\nYours respectfully,\nF.

He Is greatly Interested in\nthe establishment of a national theatre,'\n\"No, I don't think that the public\ntemperament is really against a dramatic spirit In the nation.

I, myself, need 'hardly\ntell you, was born' and bred a Puritan\nof Puritan stock, a fact for whr^a I am\neternally grateful. Thore is nothing\nanti-dramatic in Puritanism; only\nsomething anti-theatrical.

The affair will\ncommence at 8 o'clock.\nIt was on Jan. 25, 1759, near Auld\nAlloway Kirk, in Ayrshire, that the\never-famouB \"blast o' Jane war win1\nblew hansel ln on Robin,\" His life\nextended over 37 years only, the poet\ndying at Dumfries on July 21, 1731.\nHis birthday has been celebrated with\never noreaslng enthusiasm by his ad\nmiring countrymen ever since and his\nname is a bond of union among them\nthe world over.\nWhat.is the secret of the wonderful\npopularity of Bums, and why do the\nScots so honor him? Is lt because his\npeople see ln him a man of the most\nwonderous human sympathy, who Is\na: the same time the very incarnation\not Scotland. Burns has been well\nstyled the poet of human nature. Is\n\u25a0there any note of sympathy absent\nfrom his touch? Is it dramatic power? Let him who reads \"The Jolly\nBeggars,\" say If a born dramatist is\nr.ot here! Is it humor? \"Let \"Tam o'\nShanter\" tell! Is it love? Let \"Mary\nMorlson\" or \"Mary In Heaven\" make\nreply. Is it the Joy of the home? \"The\nCotter's Saturday Night\" will answer!\nIs It patriotism? Read \"Scots Wha\nHae wl' Wallace Bled!\" Is It the halo\nof memory? Read \"John Anderson,\nmy Jo;\" Is It the power of withering\ndenunciation? Read \"Death and Dr.\nHornbook!\" Is it the height of poetic\naspiration? Read \"The Vision!\" Is tt\nthe melting mood of tenderness? Read\n\"My Nannie's Awa!\" Is it the democratic note? \" \"A Man's a Man for a'\nThat\" Is the most splendid ballad of\ndemocracy ln the possession of the\nEnglish speaking race!\nThankful For Burns.\nThe people of Scotland and their\ndescendants may well be thankful for\nBruns; and not only they, for the\ngreat Ploughman Poet has been one\nof the world awakeners. His accent\nis Scottish, but his speech is cosmo-\npclltan, and men of every race are\nready tb recognize his worth. When\nhe appeared in a conventional nnd\nprosaic time his people heard a man's\nvoice, and his songs were sung with\na verve nnd strength of nature that\nstirred the popular hcurt to its very\ndepths. He awoke the poor and despised to the dignity of man as man,\nIrrespective of the accidents of poverty\nand wealth, and helped to deliver men\nfrom the debasing worship of gold.\nHe opened men's eyes to the wealth of\ntragedy and comedy, of beauty nnd\nromance, In the lives of the people\naround him, in the cotter's home, and\nIn the loves of the country lads and\nlassies. He opened his people's eyes\nte the hatefulness of all shams and\nhyprocrIsles, of meanness, selfishness\nand pride, of all narrowness nnd greed,\ncruelty\u2014\"man's Inhumanity to man,\"\nDe awoke a deeper sympathy with the\ndowntrodden and the oppressed wherever:   and a wider and tenderer feel-\nln*r for tbe animal creation, through,\nfor example, his wounded hare, the\npoor wee mousle turned out of house\nand home by the ploughshare, the wee\nbird \"cowering Hb chittering wing out\nsomewhere ln the wintry blast.\" Ho\nopened men's eyes also to the cruelty\nand injustice of harsh judgment, seen\noftenest perhaps in people judging or\nmisjudging others who have fallen by\nthe wayside or sunk under influences\nto whlcn they themselves have never\nbeen exposed.\nA Strong, Bravo Singer.\nAnd so this Btrong,   brave,   manly\nsinger, springing from a Scottish cottage home, not only caught the universal ear but touched with new light,\nInspiration, joy and hope, the hearts\nof  millions,    and  with  his  immortal\nsongs of love, home and country weld\ned together the hearts of Scottish people all over the world.   He stirred up\nIn  the hearts of his countrymen the\nsacred flame of liberty and Independ\nence, and awoke within them a new\nconsoiounetjs of their national life and\nnational unity\u2014a life at the same time\nin complete harmony with the spirit,\not International fraternity, and glowing with the hope of that day:\n\"When man to man the world o'er\nShall brithers be, for a' that!\"\nNever Disappoint.\nIf It were possible to Increase the\nleavening power of White Swan Yeast\ncakes by adding to their bulk, we\nwould make them larger.
