At n meeting today the\nold Constitutionalists decided not to\nsupport the government unless the\nmembers of thc cabinet adhered to\ntho party. In consequence of this\naction the position of Count Yamamoto has become about as untenable\na*j that of ex-Premier Prince Taro\nKatsura. It is considered In leading\npolitical circles unlikely thnt Premier\nYamamoto will yield to the pressure\nbrought to bear by the old Constitutionalists. It Is believed that he will\nreport to the emperor his, Inability to\ntransact business whllo the diet re\nmains in session.\nDelegation Expresses Views\nto Premier McBride\nNelson Will Now Employ\nMembers Of Unions Only\nAll men employed by the city in fu\nture must be members of local unions,\n, and a union labor clause must be in\n' sorted In all civic contracts.\nThe city council adopted this policy\nat last night's meeting by passing a resolution presented by the trades and\nlabor council through a delegation consisting of John Notman, Oeorge H.\nHardy and W. K. Burgess. The re-\nI solution as presented reads:\n\"That a special committee of the\ntrades and labor council wait upon the\ncity council asking that nl) men employed by the city be members of Nel-\nson unions, and tbe same be inserted\nin ,any_ contract let for city work.\"\nIn support of the request Mr, Hardy\ndeclared that the city had had three\nor four non-union men employed at\n\u25a0; clearing away snow.    He argued that\n, the employment of union labor tended\ntoward tlie building up df the city on\nthe  ground that members of unions\nwere less  transient   than   those  who\n, did not hold cards.     There had been\nj great difficulty last year in securing\n, recognition of the unions by the civic\ndepartment heads, and twice the city\njj had been on the verge of a strike.  He\n>\u25a0 hinted that there might be trouble this\nI year if the council did not adopt the\n|t union labor resolution presented.\nHas to Consider Whole Oity\nMayor Keefe remarked that   there\nI were  union men   In'tho  council  but\nP. that the civic fathers had had to con-\nI aider the  Interests  of the city os a\nj whole,     The trades council was ask-\nD Ing the city to do something which the\nI*contractors Would not do..    The contractors gave a man a job without\nI asking  If he held a union card and\n[then It was up to the union or Its\n('business agent to get him to join.\niHo did not-think that the city should\n[bind itself to the employment of union\n|men only.\nMr. Hardy asked that if tho council\ndid not adopt the resolution as presented that It go on record as desiring\nno impediment be placed ln the\nway of business agents who worked to\nbet men to join the organisations.\nI Aid. Johnstone declared that thero\nHhould be neither Impediment placed\nin the way of men joining unions nor\nforce applied to make them join.\nAla. Austin belioved* In unions. It\nwas 'the unions which had secured\ngood wages for non-union men who\nwere getting something they were not'\npaying for. He explained that the\ntrouble last year had occurred through\na business agent talking to men on the\ncement mixer and delaying operations.\nBusiness agents should use judgment, sdld the mayor.\nMr, Notman declared that the city\nengineer had last year made it as difficult as possible for business agents\nto work. Things should be made as\neasy as possible for them, he declared.\nUnion,men were an asset to the city\nand should be encouraged.\n; Would. Give Benedicts Preference.\nThe mayor thought that any good\nman, any good worker, who was employed by the city would be willing\nto join the union.\nAid. Perrier declared that preference\nshould be given to residents with families whether they held union cards or\nnot.\nAid. Austin said that union men in\nNelson bad'the credit of jgettlng the\nbest wages and tbe best hours of any\ncity in the interior.; they had paid good\nmoney to secure these advantages.\nThe mayor remarked that the rate-\npayers must receive value for. their\nmoney and that for that reason prefer-\nence could not always be given married men unless they happened to bo\nefficient workers.\nAid. Austin thought that It was the\npractice to give married men the pre.\nference as far as possible. He suggested that the council should pass a re.\nsolution declaring that a union labor\nclause should be Inserted* In all1 contracts, s\nMr. Hardy believed that Nelson\nwas the only city In the province where\nthis was not done, with the exception\nof New Westminster, where the city\ndid Its own work but employed only\nunion mem\nAid, Austin then moved that trie request of the council be granted. \u25a0 He\nfound n seconder in Aid, Perrier, and\nthe resolution passed.\nREVENUE FROM\nNATURALRE80URCE8\nPremier  Explains  Policy-\nCompetition of States\nDetriment\n(Special to Ths Dally News.)\nVICTORIA, B. C, Feb. 17.\u2014As a\nconsequence of a conference hold today between a delegation bf nearly\n129 lumber and timber men with Sir\nRichard McBride and his colleagues ot\ntho ministry a committee of the timber interests Is now in close consultation with Hon. W. R. Ross, minister\nof lands, for the* purpose of discussing\nthe sections of the bill to amend the\nForest act which deals with.the proposed Increase In rojjalty from 50\ncents to $1 from and after January 1,\nl!>lli. The lumbermen .conferred with\nthe executive council of the government for over an hour 'yesterday.\nM, S, Logan of Vancouver was the\nIntroducer and first speaker of the\ndelegation and stated that the announced intention of the government\nto increase the royalty 100 per cent,\nhad created consternation among the\ntlmbermen. The delegation expected\nthat the government would give every\nconsideration to its representations,\nbut more than that was desired. Action along lines to be suggested was\ndesired at the present session of the\nhouse, and it was the intention of the\ndelegation tp leave several of its members in Victoria to confer with Hon.\nMr. Ross. Last Saturday, at a meeting of the lumber interests ln Vancouver, two resolutions had been\npassed to the effect that lf the royalty\nwas to bo Increased nothing be done\ntill 1'918, when it should be raised to\n75 cents, and that it remain at that\nfigure for 10 years. The - other resolution was to the effect that if the appointment of- fire wardens were removed from the spirit of politics and\nplaced entirely in the hands of the\nforestry board no opposition would be\noffered to the incrense of one half cent\nper acre to be assessed against tho\nholders of timber for fire protection\npurposes.\nBest Men Wanted.\nOn this latter point Sir Richard de-\nclnred that the government would be\nvery sorry to hear that anything in\nth-? nnture of political preference had\nbeen allowed to Influence selections\nof men In the forest protection service. Ho stated that the best of men\nwere -wanted. Utterly Irrespective of\nwhat their political opinions might be,\nanc! tho government had always tried\nto conduct the service on that basiB,\nMr. Logan dedured that he did not\nwish It to be thought that the delegation was passing any reflection on the\nforestry branch; they were merely\ntrying to forestall anything In tho nature of political preference which\nmight creep into the affairs,* of. ' the\ndepartment In future years. *,\nPays Quarter of Taxes.\nT. F. Paterson, ln an able speech,\nnoted that the lumber Industry was\npaying about 25 per cent, of the taxes\nof British Columbia. He compared1\nroyalties charged on timber In this'\nprovince with the charges in the eastern Canadian provinces, and stated\nthat the timber; Interests were asking\nfor stability of royalty as well aB'\nstability of tenure which had been\ngranted some years ago. The lumber\nmilling business was far from being\nremunerative, and he declared that\nlast year his mills In Vancouver had\nlost money.\n,  Dumped  Lumber Detrimental.\nW. A. Anstle also stated that the,\nlumber business In the mountain, sections of the province Is today absolutely unremuneratlve, largely owing\nto the large amount of American lumber dumped into the prairie provinces\n\u20143,000,000 feet last year. L. A. Lewis\nalso spoke on behalf of the delegates,\nas did A, Taylor, barrister, of, Vancouver.\nPremier's  Reply.\nIn reply to the representation made,\nSir Richard declared that he was astonished to hear lt. He said that the\nlumbering interests had received' notification of the contemplated action of\ntho government in increasing the royalty on timber. Some years ago when\nthe tenure of license holders had been\nfixed In perpetuity there bad been an\nunderstanding that the royalty was to\nba advanced in time. He also noted\nthat for years the government had\nbeen telling the people of the province from the floor of tbe house that\nit was the Intention to rely on securing the revenue of the province largely\nfrom the natural resources of the\ncountry, and in this way da away\nwith the taxation on personal and\nother property and other forms of\ntaxation now existing. In the light of\nthese ^facts, said Sir Richard, the\nlumber Interests must have had ample;\nnotice that they could look for increased royalty. He stated that the\ngovernment had to secure revenue, the\ncountry was growing and tbe government believed that with development\nwhich will follow the opening of new\nlines of riUlWHyH nnd nf the Panama\ncanal all previous records of activity\nwould be broken.      .\nGASOLINE LAUNCH\nINVEST ARM\nAppropriation Passed by Canadian Pa-\nolfio Railway Company\u2014Will Be\nInnovation in Service.\nOfficial word has been received from\nthe Canadian Pacific railway offices in\nVancouver by Capt. J. C. Gore, the\nsuperintendent of the inland lake\nsteamers, that the-necessary appropriation for the construction of a large\ngasoline driven launch for the west\narm .service has been passed. Immediate arrangements will, therefore, be\nmade In regard to the design of this\nboat, which It is Intended will be\nabout 60 ft. long with 10 ft. beam, and\nsuitable accommodation for a large\nnumber of passengers, and it Is hoped\nthat It -will.be found possible to have\nit ready In time for the coming summer season.\nThe operating of this kind of craft\nIs an innovation for the big railway\ncompany, and the present action Is\nbeing taken as a direct effort to give\nthc west arm settlements a thoroughly satisfactory passenger service, and\nto release the larger boats for the\nhandling of traffic at points beyond\nthe west arm -anti to enable them to\nrun on a closer schedule.\nLORD METHUEN AS\nGOVERNOR-GENERAL\nName   is  Mentioned   as  Successor to\nDuke of Connsught\u2014Duchess\nIII Health\n(By Dally News Leased Wire.)\nLONDON, Feb. 17.\u2014It is now being\naccepted as a fact that the Duke of\nConnaught will not return to Canada\nafter his arrival here in the spring,\nowing la.rg.-4y to the state of health of\ntho duchess.

G. Miller, president of the Diamond Light & Heating company of Montreal, will appear\nat the bar of the commons to explain\nwhy he declined to answer questions\npur to'him by the public accounts\ncommittee. Mr. Miller told the committee that a few years ago he spent\n$41,000 In trying to secure $117,000\nworth of business of the government\nbut that none of the money went to\nanyone connected with the government\nor the public service. He declined\nto tell the committee how he spent the\nmoney and will now have an oopor-\ntunity of explaining the matter to the\nhouse. The penalty for not doing so\nIs supposed to be confinement In the\ntower of the parliament. Only in a\nfew Instances have people been summoned to-the bar of the commons. The\nlast case was that of E. E. Mars, a\nmember of the parliamentary press\ngallery, who made statements about\nHon. George E. Foster to which the\nlatter took exception.\nOn the third reading of the bill to\nincrease the capitalization of the\nRichelieu & Ontario Navigation company, W. F. Maclean's amendment\nsetting forth that the company should\nreceive the consent of the railway\nboard before Increasing its capital,\nwas further discussed.\nAt six o'clock a. vote was taken,\n\u2022the amendment receiving tho support\nof Mr. Maclean and 35 members of the\nopposition In the house at the time.\nSeventy-five members to the right of\nthe Speaker voted against It, making\na majority of 39 in favor of the third\nreading.\nIn the evening Hon. H. R. Emmerson spoke in support of a measure\ncalling for a further inquiry into the\nquestion of express charges. Ho asked\nthat the railway board conduct anoth\ner inquiry covering a period of 10\nyears, urging the present high profits\nof the companies as the reason why\nthe rates charged should bo the subject of a rigid Inquiry.\nR. C. Miller, president of tho Dia-\nmond Light & Heating company of\nMontreal, will be summoned to appear\nbefore the bar of the house tomorrow\nto explain his conduct in refusing to\nanswer certain questions put to him in\nthe public accounts commSttee fast\nFriday, notably -lhe question as to\nwhom he paid the sum of $41,020 for\nthe purpose of securing contracts from\nthe government amounting to $117,000\nor thereabouts, these contracts being\nsecured between June, 1007, and June,\n1911.\nThere was a brief discussion on the\nmotion made to this end by W. S.\nMlddleboro, North Grey, who Is chair-\nman of the public accounts committee,\nand who brought the matter before\nthe houae this afternoon. Sir Wilfrid\nLaurier raised the point of order that\nthere should be notice given of such\nan order. Mr. Mlddlesboro, ln reply,\nreviewed the circumstances of the\ncase. He said that towards the close\nof the last session the public accounts\ncommittee began an Investigation of\nthis Item and the secretary of the\ncompany, Mr. Baln.who was called as\na witness, said that $42,000 had been\npaid by the company to R. C. Miller\nto enable him to get contracts from the\ngovernment. The committee were unable to get Mr. Miller to Ottawa ns a\nwitness before parliament adjourned,\nconsequently he was called this session\nand appeared last Friday. Mr. Mid-\nditebroro read! from the -evfldence in\nwhich Miller admitted that In June,\n1807, the directors of the company had\npassed a resolution authorizing the\nexpenditure by him of money to obtain\nbusiness from the government. This\nwas ln addition to his salary and other\nexpenses, and he gave no vouchers,\nsimply initialing the cash book. At\nlaat Friday's session of the committee\nhe was asked to say where ho had\nIjpent this money, but refused on the\nground that he had litigation in the\ncourts at Montreal, and that for him\nto give this information to tho committee would seriously prejudice his\ncaSO. Mr. Mlddleboro pointed out\nthat the litigation was no reason for\nhis refusal, since the case In. court\nwas nn appeal from a decision which\nhad been given ngainst him in a suit\nbrought by the company calling for\nan accounting of the monies he had\nSpent. The appeal could be based\nonly on the evidence of the earlier\ncase. In addition to this safeguard\nthe rules of the house expressly provide that evidence given before the\nhouse or a committee was privileged\nund so could not be used against him,\nF. B. Carveli, of Carleton, roso to\nlay that the evidence given by Miller\nbefore the public accounts committee\nincluded the statement that he had\nnot made payments to any member of\nparliament or any senator or any officer of the government.\nAs throwing some light as to the\npoint of order raised by the leader of\nthe opposition, Arthur Meighen of\nPortage La Prairie, cited a case in 1801\nwhere refusal to submit books to the\ncommittee of privileges and elections\nhad brought an Immediate order from\nt% -house without jrubtlco liequlrlng\nthe person refuslne to appear at the\nbar. Dealing with the point of order\nthe speaker cited Bourinot as calling\nfor an immediate order of the house\nfor attendance at the bar in a case of\nthi;; kind and apparently requiring no\nprevious notice of motion. He, therefore, ruled that the motion of Mr.\nMlddleboro was In order.\nParcels Post.\nHon. Rodolphe Lemieux asked the postmaster general If he had taken any steps\nsince his previous announcement toward\nparcels post.\nMr. Pelletler\u2014\"I sad then that I would\ndeal with this question some time during\nthe session, and I am working at It.\"\nConsideration of the bill to Increase\nthe capital stock of the Richelieu &\nOntario Navigation company was then\nresumed on W. F. Maclean's amendment\nto the third reading calling for a reference of the question of capitalization to\nthe railway board.\nF. B. Carveli, who had the floor when\ntho discussion wus suspended on Friday\nnight, continued to speak for some time\nIn support of the amendment. He was\nfollowed by Edmund Bristol of Centre\nToronto, who described Mr. Maclean's\nproposal as specific legislation. He declared that there was no truth in the\nsuggestion that a, combination of tbe\nvarious steamship companies doing business on the groat lakes Is proposed.\nHon. H. R. Emmerson gave bis support to the amendment.\nJ. G. Turriff said that Mr. Bristol had\ndeclared that thero was no suggestion\nof an amalgamation of the various lines\ncompeting at Fort William. As a matter\nof fact the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation company had taken over several\nother companies already.\nHon. W. T. White thon spoke In support of the bill. The company wns seeking no wider powers than many other\ncompanies possessed. It was simply asking for an Insurance of Its capital for\nthe purpose of enlarging Us business,\nadding to tbe number of sblp9~nnd to\nestablish terminals at Fort William and\nPort Arthur. Thero was nothing to\nshow that tlio Increase In capitalization\nwould restrict competition. No one, he\nsaid, had yet argued that the stock Issue\nof industrial companies should be controlled. Mr. White then argued that the\ncompany should not be treated differently from any other company. The stock\nIs selling nt UO and the new stock will\nbe placed on tho market at par. He did\nnot think It would lie possible lo sell\nany large blocks of this stock by auction\nand get for It anything like the market\nprice.

J.\n\"Cocke of Crawford Bay.\nIn the west here our markets are\n'generally too,-far away and problems\nof transportation, distribution, ure\ntoo complex for. the average Individual\ngrower to solve alone. Therefore cooperative effort Is a business necessity. Things must be done in a largo\nway If the grower Is to deal on the\nsame level with '<\u2022 the combinations\nand corporations with which his product comes in contact at every step\nafter leaving the orchard. Every effort at co-operation by fruit growers\nhas been and always will be subject\nto attack from without, but once tbe\ngrowers have learned the power of cooperation ns a business opportunity,\nour organizations will become permanent and. will exert very powerful\ninfluence over- all our affairs.\nVoting- power of associations Is usually pro rata .to number of shares\nheld, sometimes however, based on\nacreage producing, or on actual production of previous year.\nOnly a few associations handle, fruit\non speculation and for non-members\nat a specified rate per package.\nMuch depends on the manager; hc\nmust be competent to assume the general direction of the affairs and business of the association. Ho must have\na high ordor of business ability, sterling integrity, unusual tact, Judgment\nIn handling men, und unlimited energy.

The outcome of game\nwill be determined In a. largo degree\nby the character and ability of thi\nmanager. Another dangerous element\nbus been the ambitious effort of now\nassociations to' buy and sell fruit and\nWith these the handling must bo\nstandardized and this can only be\ndone when the associations control al.\nof the operations* or actually per\nforms mem. Many apple a^ociatlonp\nestablish rules of grading and packing. The grower picks and packs the\nfruit and the association accepts or\nrejects it by inspecting the packages\nwhen delivered at .the warehouse or\nsome other such point. But experience has shown that the grower can\nrarely be depended an to pick and\npack the fruit in the best possible\nmanner. An association, therefore,\nthat operates on this principle seldom\nreaches the highest degree of success,\nand 13 likely to fall outright. A better plan Is to have grower pick the\nfruit when directed to do so by the association. It is then graded and packed\naccording to the rules of tbe association\nIn the packing house on the farm by\ntrained men In tho employ of the association. By this plan the grading,\netc., of the entire membership can be\ndone with co-operative uniformity.\nEven then the packages must be inspected before they are accepted by\nthe association. Every package rejected should be regraded and repacked, or placed In a lower grade. This\nsystem is in operation In several of\nthe most successful co-operative\napplcgrowers associations ln the United States.\nCentral Packing House,\nAnother plan is to grade and pack\nfruit at a central packing house owned\nand controlled by the association. The\ngrower picks fruit, hauls to packing\nhouse and there It Is graded and pack\ned by association. The object of this\nsystem Is that there Is a wide variation In percentage of decay th.it develops ln the fruit from different members while ln transit to market owing\nlo.ho two growers having handled the\nfruit with equal care. Pickers should\nbe paid by day, as contract or piecework places a premium on rapid careless work. The tendency in the cooperative movement is towards a central packing house where the fruit of\nmembers Is brought together and is\ngraded and packed for shipment. In\nthe small .industry this is hardly practicable. The packing house is erected\nby the association usually alongside\nthe railway track and is equipped with\n'SOME HA'E MEAT,\nAND GANNA EAT\"\nSo Bobby Burns tersely describes the\nrich, but still poor, dyspeptics.

The harvesting, grading,\netc., of fruit not grown by members\ninvariably leads to a, lowering of the\nestablished standards of grading and\npacking and to injury to the reputation and financial standing of the association. Many co-operative efforts\nhave failed through the disloyalty of\nmembers when the association is subjected to the spiteful insldou.*- fire ol\nthose \u2022Sho appose tt. The farmer is\nnot used to having his business attacked and those who are Interested\nIn disrupting the organism tion appeal\ndirectly to his pocket book by attempting to show that the assoclaUon\ndoes not realize as much for tha fruit\nas the farmer could realize outside\nof thc association. They also persistently Insinuate that the association, is\ngrossly mismanaged. It is a favorite-\npractice of the opponents of the associations to offer'members n premium\non their fruits, but those devices\ncoming to be well understood, and the\nfruitgrower w'10 Joins the association\nin good faith and sells outside is in\ndanger of losing the respect and confidence of his neighbors.\nTho Membership Contract\nA fundamental   necessity  of nil  co\noperative   associations   is   that    members  be  held   together  by  a  contract\nwhich   giVes   the   association   the   ex\nelusive   right   to   pick,     pack,     haul,\ngrade, mark nnd sell the fruit of Its\nmembers, or to perform as many of\nthese operations as it may  deem advisable to perform, or to supervise or\nregulate these operations   under rules\nmade  by   the  association.    The    contract should be drawn for a term ol\nthree to five years, giving tlie grower\ntbe privilege of withdrawing by notice\nat the end of any fruit yenr.   The con-\nshould   specify   penalty    to    be\nassessed   against   every     package    of\nfruit  sold     outside    the    association.\nSuch penalty to eiiu:il not loss than\nper cent of the value of the fruit\nsold.   This is absolutely the only plan\nwhich an  association can build a\nsolid   foundation.    It   cannot    foresee\nthe probable amount of business to bo\ntransacted   nor   can  lt     provide    the\nmeans  to   purchase  the  supplies    for\nhandling   lhe   crop  or  reach   that  degree   of stability  that la  essential   to\nsuccess of a business undertaking.\nHandling Supplies for Members\nAssociations   should   handle,    either\nby purchase or manufacture, supplies\nand equipment of every kind used by\ntils members, und on which a saving\ncan   be   made   by    co-operative    purchase.\nCo-operation    n   Handling the   Fruit\nThe condition in which fruit reaches\nthe consumer depends largely on1 the\ncure with which it is handled through-\nThe   most  common   rots  of apples  and   pears, and   of  small   fruits,\nare directly related to the mechanical\nbruising  of  fruit,  most diseases    not\nhaving power of penetrating a healthy\nuninjured skin.    The association must\ntherefore provide rigid rules for pick\ning;   must   either  supervise   the   harvest   grading   and   packing    of    the\nfruit and  provide for the most rigid\ninspection   of   every   lot   before   it   lb\naccepted  by  the association for ship\nment, or else the harvesting, grading\nand packing must be done by the association.    In  most caseg  where  the\nTrult is not packed In central packing\nhouses it is picked nnd packed by the\ngrower, according to tho rules of ihe\nasMii.-lntion, and Inspected by an  employee of the association before it is\naccepted for shipment.

Mgr..\nnnd    packing;    the   manager   of   the\npacking    house    being    usually    the\ngeneral  mnnager oi*' the    association.\nPre-cooling  and cold  storage plants,\nbox   nailing  and  labeling  machinery\nnd other labor saving devices required In the Industry are to be found In\nmost of the association houses.\nPooling of Fruit.\nThere is a growing practice In the\nco-operative aBSOClktlons to pool and\nsell fruit as commtyV commodity under\nUu   brands  of the i'associatIon rather\nthan to sell the fruit of each grower\nseparately.      The pdol Is an arrangement by which the similar grades of\nfruit   of  all   the members are  united\nand  sold  together.      At the end of a\npool   (which %may vary  from a daily\npool in the summer fruit business to\na monthly or season pool in the apple\nIndustry)  the grower receives his pro\nrata   of   the   proceeds  based     on  the\nnumber of pounds pr packages of each\ngrado which he has contributed.   The\npooling arrangement greatly simplifies\nthe  practical business methods of an\nassociation.     The successful working\nof the pooling system depends on having the  handling, grading and packing of  the  fruit under  thc  direction\nund   control   of   the- association.      It\nmay, but does not often succeed, where\nthese operations are ln the hands of\nthe  grower.      It depends   further  on\nhaving a large proportion of the fruit\nof the  association of uniform grade.\nThere   ls_ a  considerable  variation   in\nthe  average quality  of   different  lots\nof fruit in the same grade even under\nthe most rigid system of grading.   No\nBrewer Is willing to admit that he does\nnot  raise as good fruit as anyone in\nhis community, and where it happens\nthat his fruit falls below the average\nand ho Is paid for a larger proportion\nof the higher gradA.     The grade of\nfruit grown under similar conditions of\nsoil and  location, depends largely on\nthe cultural skill of ,the  grower, and\nthe publicity that the association af.\nfords regarding the results of grading\nfruit  of  different   growers  is  1\nstrong factor In stimulating better cul\ntuial methodB Jn the corrmunlty as a\nwhole.     On the other hand the pool,\ning  system  may  not  encourage   the\nusually skilful gro*tver to develop fruit\nof thc highest average grade.     If he\nstands alone as a skilful grower ho\nwill not get the full advantage of hia\nfine fruit' in the pool.     As the prac-\ntlcalveffect ot the pool Is to lower the\naverage price of-extra fine fruit and. to\nraise the price of fruit that can barely\nenter as grade, an association ought,\ntherefore, he composed    of   members\nlocated  similarly  as to soil, climate,\netc.. also havlqg somewhat similar cultural    skill    and    preferably similar\nacreage.     Unless   these   fundamental\nconditions are carefully guarded  the\npooling system may-tend' to lower the\naverage grade of the fruit of a community, because the grower, realizing\nthat the identity of fruit is lost In a\npool, may grow careless in his cultural\npractices! and trust to the better fruit\nof bis more careful neighbors to raise\nthe average net returns of the grudes\nIn which his fruit is pooled.\nThe Slxe of \u25a0 Co-operative\nAssociation\nIn theory a large association can\nhandle business more economically\nthan a small one.- It Is not usually\npracticable in the orange business for\nexample to organize an association\nand build a packing house unless there\naro about ISO cars to ship. On the\nother hand the largest association does\nnot often ship more than 760 cars,\nand only a few Of the large associations are highly successful,(as they are\nlikely to become unwieldy and difficult\nto hold together. There Is often\nwide difference In the character of\nfruit grown In different jollg and at\ndifferent  altitudes   ln   texture,  color,\nflavor, etc.     An association therefore\nshould not only Include all those growers who are similarly skilful, but also\nthose whose fruit naturally shows similar characteristics.\nOrganization of Citrus Fruit Industry\nof California.\nShipments  now   total  nearly  50,000\ncarloads  annually,  with  a  value   ln\nCalifornia of $25,000,000.     When    the\nindustry    was  small  no  complicated\nproblems of distribution or marketing\nfaced the grower.     The fruit was sold\nfor cash to buyers on the ground,\nto  brokers who  represented    distant\ncommission houses.     As the industry\ngrew  larger  and  there  were  several\nthousand carloads of fruit to sell the\ngrower began to realize that the system of selling fruit already ln opera\ntion as Inadequate  to bring him  the\nproportion of returns which his capital\nwaa earning and to which he considered himself entitled.     Under the system In operation there'' were frequent\ngluts In a few markets and apparently\nno effort among the buyers to equalize\nthe distribution of the fruit geographically   or   throughout   the  yoar,   and\nthe  buyers  were   said  sometimes   to\nhave fixed the maximum price which\nwould be paid the grower, and to apportion the fruit area in districts so\nas to reduce competition among themselves.      Thc  result was .disastrous\nto the producer and became so serious\nin  the  early  00's  as  to  threaten  to\nwipe out the capital invested in the\nindustry.      From 1888 to 1893 several\nsmall associations were formed and at\nth  clutter  date   a 4>Ian   outlined  and\nfinally    adopted    which    federated    a\nnumber or these associations and for\nthe organizations of district exchanges\nto be made up of tho local associations.\nOut of this was formed ln 1905\n\"The California  Fruit Growers'\nExchange,\"\nwhich now handles about 60 per cent\nof the citrus fruits ,of California. 'This\nexchange represents about 6000 growers  who   have   organized  themselves\ninto   100   or more   local  associations-^\nThe latter usually owns its own packing house where the frblt Is assembled\nand   prepared   for   market   under   the\nbrands    adopted    for    the    different\ngrades  by  the uSBoclatlon.     Those in\nthe different regions combine into one\nor more district exchanges which represents the associations in the business operations common to each and\nsell the fruit In cooperation with the\ncentral  exchange.      The  latter  is  an\nincorporated agency formed by a representative of each of the 16 district\nexchanges, nnd which acts as the selling agent for .these district exchanges.\nThe   central   exchange     through     Its\nagents is in dally touch with the markets throughout America, thereby enabling   lt   to   distribute   its   fruit   intelligently.    The   local   exchanges  und\nassociations receive    a   daily bulletin\nfrom the central exchange which out\nlines conditions of all markets on the\npreceedlng day, and states the selling\nprice of all exchange cars.     There was\na fierce fight for fifteen years before\nlhe  co-operative   principle   was   on\nfirm foundation.      powerful   financial\nInterests of various kinds were array\ned against them; and were organized\nto oppose them.   Vicious attacks were\nmade on the Integrity of the officers.\nthe   most    determined   efforts    were\nmade to show that the growers' organizations were   illegally  formed.      But\nthe battle has been won and the cooperative principle is firmly fixed.   It\nIs the balance wheel that gives stability to the Industry and to the relations\nthat exist between It and the agencies\nwith which It transacts business.   And\nalthough   insidious   efforts   are   still\nmade from time to time, the co-opera-\ntlve movement In the Industry is the\nresult of a Blow and painful evolution\nand the grower does not appear to be\ndeceived by these efforts, no matter\nhow  Ingeniously  they are  conceived.\nLet us hope that the British Columbia\napple grower will benefit by the example   and   follow    the    co-operative\nfootsteps    of    the   California orange\ngrower.\nSelling the Fruit by Co-operative\nAssociations.\nThe co-operative associations sell in\na variety of ways, depending on character and condition of the industry\nand the practices that have grown up\naround it. A large proportion'* of tho\ndeciduous summer fruits Is sold f.o.b.\ncars at point of production, subject to\nirfspeclion on arrival at market; some\nure coriBlgned to commission men,\nAmong apple associations It Is common practice to send to thc trade In\nadvance of the harvest a catalogue of\nthe probable number of boxes of various varieties and sizes in the higher\ngrades mat the association has for\nsale, ahd finally to sell to tho highest\nf.o.b. bidder. As long as the country\nis prosperous and the present, method\nof distribution and Bale does not\ncause a disastrous over-supply 'n the\nmethods in operation, But as the\nfruit business increases--it will be\nnecessary for the growers' associations\nto develop methods for Increaslng.con-\nsumptlon.

The\nfanners of tbe west must depend upon\nwater routes for reasonable freight rates\nand there should be control over this\ncompany as much as over the Canadian\nPacific railway. As* a matter of fact,\nthis company was in competition with\nthe Canadlnn Pacific railway and it was.\nunfair to limit one und leave the other\nfree. *\nH. H. Stevens of Vancouver said that\ntbe clause in the present bill to which\nobjection was being taken was Identical I\nwith the clause In this company's bill\nhich was passed by the late government. He said be was prepared to favor\na bill whicli would regulate over-capitalization, but the present objections seemed to be n matter of personal animosity\nrather tban tho public welfare.\nMajor Currie of Slmcoe thought the\ngreatest danger was that this company\nmight be absorbed by tiie Furness interests which, lie said, were responsible\nfor the disappearance , of tbe tramp\nsteamers from tbe North Atlantic and\ntlie raise ln tho Atlantic freight rates.\nHe did not think that the Maclean\namendment would meet tiie ease at all.\nHon. Georgo P. Graham aald that as\nho was a small shareholder In the company he did not propose to vote any\nway.

Mr. Lena-.--*** J-i'.ld that in Quebec\ntho company had' no competition and\npointed out that tho .steamers call-only\nat the points where thei*e was money to\nhe made and neglected other ports. Ho\nsaw ln the bill a huge merger which\nwould affect not only Quebec, but Ontario and tbo farmers of the west.\nMr. Pelletler said that after tlio company had refused to make Its steamers\ncall at these ports mentioned bv Mr.\nLemieux the old government had Increased the capital of the company from\nJ5.ooo.ooo to ?io,ooo,oon.\nThe debate was concluded by D. O,\n'Lesperanco, who said that the company\ndid not constitute a merger. Two companies had originally operated between\nQuebec nnd Montreal. They failed and\nthe company took over the boats and\nassets. The company, he said, was paying a dividend of 10 per cent and was\ngiving lower rates than the railroads.\nTlio division was then taken on Mr.\nMaclean's amendment, which wns defeated on a vote of Tl) to 36. AH the\nmembers of the opposition in tbe house,\nIncluding Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who recorded their votes, voted for the amendment, while tho Conservatives who\nvoted were against it. Hon. G. P.\nGraham, Edmund Bristol and D. O. Lesperanco did not vote because they are\ninterested   in  the  company.\nExpress Rates.\nLate In the evening when notices of\nmotlqn by private members were token\nup for the last time this session, Hon.\nH. R. Emmerson moved a long resolution declaring it to be in tho Interest of\nthe people of Canada that a further Inquiry should be held by tho board of\nrailway commissioners Into tbe question\nof the rates. Tlie resolution declared\nthat there Is n widespread feeling\nthroughout tbo Dominion that charges\nexacted by the express companies are\nexcessive and In many eases abnormally\nextravagant, and that an Inquiry should\ntake place covering tbe operations of\nthe companies doing business in Canadu\nfor a period of ]0 years. The tax on\nthe people\" of Canada for express charges,\nhe said, Is over 1*1.25 per head.\nHon. Mr. Cochrane regretted the\nlittle result thnt bad followed previous\n\u2022Investigations Into express rntes, but\nsaid that the present chairman of the\nrailway board, Mr. Drayton, had been\nmaking an Informal Inquiry and would\nbring in a report soon. The minister\nconcluded by moving an amendment,\nthnt, In view of tho inquiry now under\nway Into the necessity of further reduction ln express rates.

Tho officers\nhave become considerably alarmed at\nthe indifference of the war department to the scarcity of army horses\nnd several influential officers are\nbringing pressure to bear on tho gov-\nnitneut whose apathy has caused\nsomething akin to amazement among\nthusc who are in the best position to\noallze the true state uf affairs. It is\nisserted that lhe government has\nshown an almost criminal indifference to the large number of the b-*Hl\nbrood mares which are being exported\ntn Germany nnd France where the\nbreeder finds an infinitely .mure remunerative market than he can In\nEngland. Indeed, the Indications nre\nthat the breeding of horses for army\n\\\\sch is a dwindling industry-nnd is-\nkept alive only by the foreign demand\nA breeder struck the key to the\nsituation -when he remarked that\nnothing would lie done while the war\noffice paid 5100 a head less than Germany.'' And still more surprising Is\nLtlie public 'indifference to the whole\nsubject. Statistics tell of enormous\nsums of money spent on army horses\nwithout bringing nny improvement in\nthe resources of the country. It la\nsnld that in the last 11 years more\nthan $100,000,000 has been spent in\nbreeding\" and yet the net result is only\n32.000 horses, of which 10.000- are\nover 13 years of age. In recent yenr-3\nmany \u25a0schemes havo been propounded\nto solve the shortage problem and the\nnew bonrd of agriculture has shown\nsome little enterprise, but the most\nth,' war office has done is to move Its*\n\"gracious consent\" to the acceptance\nof two \"horse farms\" and to appoint\ntwo officers lo co-operate with thc\nboard of agriculture In un attempt to\nproduce a new thoroughbred which\nshall excel in bono rather than In\npace.\nBeware\nof\nImitations\nSold\non the\nMerits\nof\nMinard's\nLiniment\nCLERGYMAN'S  WEAK   DEFENCE\nOF   DISGRACEFUL   ELOPEMENT\nLONDON, Feb. 17.\u2014Ths Rev.

To put it plainly,\nChicago is so\" hard pressed for cash\nthat It is paying Its employees only\n30 per cent of their salaries, while\nas to the othor expenses aside from\nfixed charges,, It Is paying only 70\ncents on the dollar.

In announcing hirnaelf\na syndicalist the young man said:\n\"I   believe  that  all   workingmen\nEngland should be oriranlw-r] In pr\nunions and themselves own the capital, running the various industries.\nH is essential that tho executive\nshould be elected by the \"workers\nthemselves who should be instructed\nto choose men of character and virtue\nnot merely of rank and position. Gradually we should arrive at a state o!\nsociety within which there would be\nmonarchy and no peerage, only\ngovernment hy the fittest. I would\nnot object to some grade of honor,.\nlike the Eicglpn of Honor In France,\nhut all distinctions ought to be for a\nman's lifetime.
