Vancouver plugging operations sometimes' used thei alias of \"Stewart\" was\n| given this morning by iHKigh H. Jones\nat whose houso Scott boarded from two\n! months before election to several weeks\n| afterward.  Ho also confirmed the telephone number which Mrs. Annance had\nstated Scott gave her as hfs own.\nJack White apparently used the alias\nof \"Johnson\" and pretended to be a\nfishing contractor When he and Herb-\n| ert L. Pearce one of Liberal Secretary\n[ Scott's employees, used rooms at the\nRobson hotel to accommodate gangs\nj of piuggers on election afternoon.\nI FrtAt-ick Moore, proprietor, gave the\nI committee this information and said\nI Johnson told him they were ''all\n1 through'' about 15 minutes before the\nI polls closed. \"Johnson's\" description\n| fitted that of White who it has lately\n[ developed lived in the Yukon during\nj the scandals with which a prominent\nl member of the Vancouver Liberal Dr-\nI ganization was closely associated. One\nI of the men called \"Johnson\" White said\nf Moore.\nFred Welch, Vancouver Conservative\n1 candidate, told of having been warned\nI hy J.

The police sent officers\nout He made three visits to the police\nI about it.\nEmployed Detectives.\nI   .Charles Reddington, manager of the\nI Thiel Detective agency, -divulged the\nfact that his agency had  been em-\n| ployed by M. A. Macdonald and Liberal\nSecretary Scott to watch the Oonserva-\ntives at election time.   Although they\nI had a detective right' in the Conservative organization they had failed to\nI discover any irregularities. He said his\nI detectives also reported on the Princess\nI rooms and the Albany rooms, but found\nj nothing wrong.   Just why the Liberal\nsecretary instructed that these rooms\ni should be watched was not made ap-\n> parent as some of the piuggers were\nbllletted  there,  but members of the\ncommittee found significance in the\nfact that all the Thiel detective did\n! was just to -drop in at these places and\nI as he found no drinking or noisy men\n! around concluded it was all right.\nIt was also accepted as significant\n\u25a0 that the detective, working under instructions, did not go to these rooms\nuntil after the hour that the piuggers\nwere taken out to cast their ballots\nfrom one to eight times for the Liberal\ncandidate.   Tho suggestion is that the\nemployment of the detectives had a\n. double' purpose.   If anything against\nthe Conservatives were discovered it\ncould be used whereas the fact that\ndetectives were sent to  two of. the\nhouses where Scott's piuggers were bll-\nj leted would he useful in helping the instigators of the plugging for the Lib-,\neral candidate to cover their tracks,\n[ while if the detectives happened to run\nacross any  of the  Liberal  piuggers\n' which at that hour could hardly have\nhappened, it was not necessary for the\nknowledge to spread beyond the detec-\nl tive agency and the Liberal secretary.\nThe detectlvts  were not    told    to\nwatch the Robson rooms where the\nLiberal- piuggers wero 'iu and out all\n1 afternoon.\nAnother witness this morning was\nBETTER PROSPECCTS FOR\nPEACE ARE SEEN\n(By Daily News Leased Wire.)\nLONDON, May 23.\u2014The underwriters' yesterday charged SO per\ncent to insure against declaring\npeace between Great Britain and\nGermany before.

C.\nMay 22.\u2014Mining had an inning In the\nlegislature tonight when Hon. Lome\nA. Campbell secured second reading of\nhis hill to appropriate $200,000 for special assistance to prospectors and other small operators in building roads\nand trails. Unexpectedly quite a debate developed.\nH. C. Brewster, the Liberal leader,\nJumped into the discussion and amused members who knew something of\npractical mining matters by blaming\nthe government for not encouraging\nthe construction of small smelters at\nsmall mines which were distant from\nthe existing smelters. The idea of\nevery little mine having its own little smelter was declared toy one member to be \"very attractive but entirely Impractical.\"\nIn urging tho second reading of the\nbill Mr. Campbell explained that the\nproposal was that the money should\nbo devoted toward the construction of\nroads nnd trails to claims which on\nexamination by engineers proved lo be\nworthy of the expenditure. Tho public\nworks engineers would carry out the\nroad work on the recommendation of\nthe minister. He pointed out that considerable work was accomplished for\nthe mines out of the general public\nworks grant and that the 4200,000 bill\nwas to augment and extend this work.\nMr. Campbell also billed attention to\nthe increased appropriation\" tills- year\nfor field work by engineers, -This year\nit is -$24,000, as against $8000 hi 1915.\nParties will work in various districts,\nIncluding the Interior and will advise\nprospectors as well as report upon the\nvarious mineral areas.\nW. R. Maclean (Nelson) praised the\nbill and mentioned the Bayonne district as one which might with advantage bo opened up hy assistance In\nl'oad construction and strong approval\nof the measure was voiced by Harold\nE. Forster (Columbia) and William\nHunter (Slocan), who said that money\nexpended on mining would bring ten\nfold returns.\nMr. Brewster contended Mr. Campbell had not fulfilled the promise\nmade durin gthe byeleetion of assistance to mining. He urged the scientific study of ores and the establishment of small smelters hear mines\ndistant from smeltors. Ho admitted\nthe government had provided for free\nassays.\nDr. H. E, Young, who represents tho\nmining constituency of Atlln, declared\nMr. Brewster's criticism wns nut fair.\nHe did not take into account the extension of field work the government\nwas carrying out, increasing by four\ntimes the appropriation for this work,\nnor did the Liberal leader take into\naccount the research work which the\ngovernment carried on. In the treatment of refactory zinc ores, for example, it had spent a lurge sum and\nhe understood something further in\nthat direction In connection with a\nsmelter at Nelson would be covered\nby legislation this session. The government experimented with ores at Its\nlaboratory here. It gave free assays\nand engineers would examine properties and give advice to prospectors.\nMr. Brewster's proposal to establish\nsmall smelters was very attractive,\nbut  entirely  unpractical.\nIT. II. Watson said Mr. Brewster ono\nday showed the government was extravagant and the next day that it\nshould spend more money, a criticism\nof the opposition lender's tactics with\nwhich II. L. Carter-Cotton agreed.\nT. D. Craven (Cranbrook) appealed\nto the Liberals to forget their partisanship when measures for the advancement of one of the country's\ngreatest industries came before the\nhouse. He wns disappointed to see\nthem opposing measures of the greatest value to the country.\nNeil F. Mackay spoke of the great\nfuture which lay before mining and\nmentioned the Standard mine and its\ndividends as an example of what the\nKaslo-Slocan country could do and\nclosed hy saying that money spent on\n'developing mining would bring heavy\nreturns to the country.\nrubber mm ON\nDUTCH BOAT SEIZED\nFourteen Hundred Parcels Consigned\nfrom South America Condemned\nin London Prize Court.\n(By Dally News Leased Wire.)\nLONDON, May 22.\u2014Fourteen hundred parcels of rubebr which were\ntaken from the first class malls on the\nDutch steamer Gelria, while enroute\nfrom Soutli America to Holland, were\ncondemned in the prize court today.\nThe-parcels were said to be destined\nto Germany.\nThe attorney general in presenting\nthe case pointed out that there had\nbeen much criticism by neutrals of interference hy the British government\nwith the letter malls on the ground\nthat it was a violation of the Hague\nconvention and he declared that it\nought to be realized that there hod\nbeen an attempt on a very large scale\nto use the shelter of The Hague convention in smuggling contraband goods\nInto Germany.\nThe judge said the parcels in question had heen dishonestly sent l(v\npost as If they were postal correspondence and added that under The Hague\nconvention It was expressly laid down\nthat postal correspondence should not\ncover  and   Include parcels.\nWILL TELL PARTICULARS\nOF EXECUTIONS IN DUBLIN\n(By Daily News Leased1 Wire.)\nLONDON, May 22.\u2014A statement\ngiving, full particulars of this aett\nfor which 15 participants in the\nIrish rebellion had been executed\nwas being prepared and will be\npresented shortly, Premier Asquith\ntold a questioner In the house of\ncommons today.\nThe premier added that he was\nanxious because of misunderstanding in America on this subject that the statement should be\npresented at the earliest possible\nmoment*\nAMENDMENTS   MAKES  CITIES\nRESPONSIBLE FOR PATIENTS\n(By Staff Correspondent.)\nPRESS GALLERY, Victoria, B.

An Interesting point In\nthe latest French official -communication is the statement that the French\nhave penetrated Port Daumont, northwest of Verdun, which the German*\nstormed and captured February 25,\nfour days after the commencement of\nassault on Verdun and from which all\nattempts to drive them out proved futile.- The Germans, however, still hold\nthe northern part of Fort Dou au\nMont.\nA violent attack has netted tha\nFrench several German positions on a\nfront of about a mile and a quarter\neast of the village of Dou au Mont.\nTo the northwest of Verdun the\nFrench have forced the Germans from\npositions south of Hill 287 and west of\nLe Mort Homme.\nBerlin, on the other hand, says the\nGermans to the northwest of Verdun\nstormed the eastern spurs of Hill 304\nand held them against repeated counter attacks. In this fighting tha\nFrench are declared to have lost heavily in men killed and wounded.\nAdmission is made In the Berlin report of the capture by the French of a\nquarry south of Haudremont, northeast of Verdun.\nHeavy losses also were suffered by\ntho.

Fein organization was used as a\npawn in the game played by Berlin\nand certain Germans and revolutionists in America and of how the failure of tho revolt was made doubly sure\nby tbe Inability or disinclination on the\npart of Germany to carry out important features of the plan at almost the\nlast moment. Tbe facts given hero\nhavo been gathered from authentic\nBritish sources and are presented as\ncompletely as possible under the censorship,.\nThe plot had its Inception shortly\nafter the beginning of the war when\ncertain Irishmen and German authorities conceived the idea of utilizing the\nSinn Fein organization for a revolt, the\ngovernors being actuated, of course, hy\nthe admittedly legitimate purpose of\nweakening Great Britain and the others having national aspirations or at\nleast In ono case, a desire to obtain\nrevenge for alleged political wrongs\nsuffered ut the hands of England.\nAt this time tbe Sinn Felners who\nbad really organized because of jealousy oC the Nationalist volunteers,\nprobably had no definite idea of starting a revolt. They accepted the plan,\nhowever, and fell victims to a schema\nwhich was not of their own making.\n\"The name of Sir Roger Casement\nappears prominently throughout tho\nstory and he Is now In the Tower of\nLondon after being committed for\ntrial.\nCasement's  Movements.\nSir Roger Casement went from\nAmerica to Christiana Tinder an assumed name. At Christiana he conferred with the German consul and\nthen droceeded direct to Germany with\nhis Norwegian servant.

Last\nyear Japan sold Uncle Sam goods\nvalued at $101,000,000 and it is steadily\nincreasing Its business in this direction. When It Is considered, that exports to the United States represent\nnearly one-third of Japan's overseas\nbusiness it can readily be seen that it\nwould be very much to Japan's disadvantage to get Into any trouble with\nIts distant trans-Pacific neighbor.\nJapanese are acute commercial men\nfend they realize what the American\ntrade means to them and to their nation. A former minister of finance,\nior example, said the other day that\nthe fundamental policy of Japan\nshould be to build up trade with the\nXJnlted States and China. That this\nviewpoint is held in high quarters in\n\u2022Toklo is a matter of common'-knowl-\nedge. It cannot fail to have a steadying influence upon future relations between Japan and the rest of tho world\npowers.\nWAR DOE8 NOT MAKE INSANITY\nMORE COMMON\n\u25a0 Thero has been a great deal of talk\nof tho effect of shell fire upon the\nnerves of'tho soldier-* In the trenehes.\n\u2022While It-is known to have put many\nSoldiers out of action It is interesting\nso note that* it apparently causes very\nfew cases of permanent mental injury which approaches the stage of\ninsanity. Some Interesting figures In\nthis connection have been prepared by\nstudents of conditions In the French\narmy and they show that the war has\n%oi appreciably' increased the number\nof cases of insanity In the great forces\nunder General Joffrc's command.\n' Prof. Regis, of the Central Institution for Mental Diseases at Bordeaux,\ngives figures showing that 1332 officers and soldiers sent to the establishment between August 20, 1914, and\nJanuary 31, 1916, suffering from\n\"mental commotion,\" there developed\nonly 69 cases of permanent derangement.\nThese permanently insane were\nmostly reservists and a third of them\nof the oldest contingents, from -JO\nyears up. There was one officer, two\nsubalterns and G6 privates. Forty-\nseven of them came from the front, 21\nfrom the bases in the interior, proving\nthat Insanity is as likely to develop\nin the barracks as in the trenches.\nRUSSIA'S  GREAT WORK   IN   THE\nEARLY  PART OF WAR\nNo matter what great victories Russia may win In the future it will be\nimpossible to forget tho noble sacrifice which was made by her armies at\nthe time when Germany was pressing\nFrance almost to the breaking point.\nThe Invasion of Prussia in the early\npart of the war was undertaken solely\nto divert some of Germany's strength\nfrom the western front and it succeeded magnificently.\nA critic of the war asserts that this\nwithdrawal of German troops at a\ncritical moment made possible the\nvictory of the Marne and that while\nthe raid into Prussia cost Russia a\n\u25a0whole army it was cheap at the price.\nfWHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING {\nNot So Very Startling.\nSir Thomas White says that ultimately all the railways of Canada may\n'be nationalized.

It is an ultimatum because it means that unless the\nUnited States attempts to force the\nallies to raise the naval siege of\nGermany, the Germans will continue\nto kill haphazard. It is humbug and\nan Insult to American intelligence,\u2014\nLondon Express.\n\u25baI\nI PRESIDENTWJLS0N*8TACTICS I\nPerhaps it Is as well that President\nWilson should put his rejection of\nGermany's apparent compliance with\nhis terms In tho form of an acceptance.\nGermany complains because other nations act as if she could not be'trusted.\nFor once he says: \"Well, we will now\nact as if we could trust you, and then\nsee how soon our confidence Is abused.\" At the very moment he was penning his note the Cymric was sinking,\nIt is only the interpretation the\npresident -chooses to place on the last\nGerman note that he now announces\nhis willingness to accept. That Interpretation and Germany's intention are\ntwo very differont things. Von Jagow's\nnote was purposely ambiguous on the\nessential points. He says Germany\nwill henceforth conform to international law. He means that he will\nconform to his understanding of international law, which leaves her at\nliberty to torpedo armed merchantmen.\n\u2014Hamilton Spectator.\n\u2666\u25a0\u00bb\u2666\u00bb\u2666\u2666-\u2666-\u00bb-\u2666-\u2666\u25a0\u00bb\u2022\nX FARM LAND GOING UP. t\nWestern Canada has often been de-\n\u2022scribed as tho \"last and best west.\"\nThe Dominion has the reputation of\n\u2022being the last great area of fertile and\ncheap land open to settlements. ^ The\nprize offered to settlers -by our low-\npriced and highly productive lands,\nmuch of which is open to settlement,\nis steadily becoming moro valuable.\nUntil United States land rose In price\nsomewhat too high for settlers of modest means, our cheaper lands were not\npreferred because they did not have as\nlarge a home market, nor as good\ntransportation facilities. But the value\nof United States farm lands is rising rapidly.\nA government bulletin estimates the\ncountry-wide average of unimproved\nland as being $45.'55 an acre. In 1910\nthe average was $32.49, and in 1900 it\nwas only $15.57. A rise of 200 per cent\nIn IB years is phenomenal. The choicer\nfarm lands, such' as those In Iowa, Illinois and other middle states, average\nabout $100 an acre. With such increases the increment to the -farmers of\nCanada who hold \"their land for. the\nnext ten or fifteen years will make\n.them well-to-do. We have more trans-\nporlution facilities now than Ihe productive capacity of the country warrants. What we want Is settlement,\nand tho higher land prices over the\nborder go the greater will be the attraction and Inducement to settlers\nto take up land In Canada. It is bet-\nterTor a country to have cheap furm\nland, but with productive capacity and\ngood markets the price cannot be expected to remain low. The influence\nof great industrial centres, with their\ncnotmously high values, is too potent.\n\u2014Toronto Mail and Erhpire.\nCONCERNING   MAGAZINE\nCOVERS.\nM. A.

The Arras sector has\nbeen and may again be, the scene of\nvery fierce fighting. Apropos of this\nrecent taking over by our troops of\nthese Intervening miles of French-defended trenches, it may be permissable\nto touch upon what I know to be a\nvery widely circulated rumor at home\nto the effect that the British have been\nhelping our gallant ally in his magnificent resistance at Verdun;\nGen. Joffre's message of thanks to\nSir Douglas Haig has been quoted in\nour press as evidence of this. It seems\nreasonable to Infer that the \"thanks\"\nwere for the release of the French\ntroops In the line we have taken ovej,\nand that the glory of the defense of\nVerdun belong wholly and solely to\nthe army of French. Although the\nhour of the British army may be at\nhand, it Is not yet, nor Is there any\nreason to believe that the Germans\nwill succeed by their attacks upon\nVerdun in their undoubted purpose of\ntrying to upset the pre-arranged strategy of the great coming offensive.\u2014\nReuter Dispatch.\nINTERRUPTING.\nThey say It's wrong to interrupt when\nsome oen talks to you,\nBut I don't do It near as much as\ngrown-up people do;\nFor while I'm telling mother some .important piece of news\nShe is counting up my buttons or examining my shoes.\nAnd just when I have gotten to the\nmost exciting part,\nAhd she ought to pay attention to my\nwords with all her heart,\nAll at onco she says, \"Come here!\nI very greatly fear\nA button's coming off your clothes,\nand I must fix It, dear.\"\nIt's just the same with fathor\u2014he's no\nbetter, I'm afraid,\n1 always want hln>to admire important\nthings I've made.\nHut when I start to show him, so that\nho will  understand\nWhere 1 nailed or T sawed it, and just\nhow I worked and planned,\nHe'll nod-his head and say, \"Indeed,\"\n\"tn'ttti attentive way,\nAnd act as If he saw it, but then like\nas not he'll say,\n.lust  when* I've  got  a going,\n\"My boy, your nose needs blowing,\"\nWhich   proves   he   doesn't   hear,   nor\noven look at what I'm showing\".\n\u2014Burges Johnson.\nCOLD   STORAGE\nwww***********\nTilings to worry about: Two New\nYork men havo been arrested for selling their wives.       *\nDoctor\u2014You will have to give up all\nmental work for a few weeks.\nPatient\u2014But, doctor, in that event\nmy income would cease.

Mr. Donaldson states that extraordinary developments are going on in connection with\nthe fishing Industry at Prince Rupert\nand that the exploration work which\nis being done In connection with mining is very much greater than the\npublic supposes; He states that there\nare large sections of northern British\nColumbia which will prove attractive\nto British immigrants after the war\nand that many British people have al\nready done well there. In his interview Mr, Donaldson said in part:\n\"After the reports of the backward\nseason which have come to hand I was\nmore than surprised at the develop\nment not only along our main line, but\nalso along the branch lines. Plowing\nand sowing compare well with previous years and rather to the advantage\nthis year on our branch lines.\n\"The development of some of our\nsouthern branch linos is quite remarkable. Where a few yours ago was bald\nprairie and showing no indications of\ndevelopment I now find for miles large\nareas of prairie broken and under cultivation. The development of our\nTofleld-Calgary branch Is quite surprising and new farm houses , and\nbarns that compere favorably with\nolder Canada have- iteen constructed.\nIt Is difficult to judge conditions from\nthe train. I am impressed with the\nview that the area under crop this\nyear Will lie approximately as large as\nother years, witli the exception of a\nfew localities. The weather has been\nparticularly fine for some days and\nwith the wheat well In baud other\ncrops will be well cared for. Tbe\ncrops are now shelving in many places\nlarge areas of gi-e'at growth of twq to\nthree inches and'With rain about the\nmiddle of June 1 am confident that wfe\nwill-have a bountiful crop.\n\"On the mountain division of our\nrallwuy 1 noticed development, though,\nof course, nothirife like the prairie.\nSettlers are taking up lands in the\ncentral valleys and have many small\nranches under cultivation. Smal|\ntowns are .si'-ringing up and there is\nevery indication of a future for central\nBritish Columbia.\n\"Roads are being constructed,\nbridges built and hotels and accommodation for travellers are quite numerous. Kliipments of hay have already been made from these valleys to\nAlaska, and last year the small fruit\nexported from the Skeena valley was\n(piite large and Is growing. At a number of stations 1 noticed piles of mineral . bags brought In from distant\npoints by prospectors who are open\ning up mines and sending extensive\ntest' siiipmcnts of ore to smelters in\nSouthern British Columbia. Frdm one\nmine near Hazelton about 3000 tons of\ncopper ore is shipped a month and a\nvessel at Prince Rupert was being\nloaded with 1000 tons of ore while 1\nwas there.\n\"The development of the fishing industry at Prince Rupert is quite satis factory and now averages 1,500,000\npounds of halibut a month. Three\nnew companies are now constructing\npacking houses at Prince Rupert\nwhich will be In operation shortly.\n\"Taking it all in all the conditions\nalong the Grand Trunk Pacific are\nquite promising for the future. I have\nno doubt, lhat the. part of the country\nsouth of our line between Tete Jaune\nCache and Smlthers will become a\nvery extensive mixed fanning territory, as there is every indication that\ncattle ranching will be a success. In\nno part of Canada can a finer grade\nof vegetables be grown than in the\nFraser,  Nechaco and  Bulkley valleys.\n\"In the Lake country, north and\nsouth of Prince George, near Vander-\nhoof and Endako there Is quite a\nmovement of settlers, as the land\nabout   Stewart,   Francois   and   Ootsa\nlakes' is particularly well adapted- for\nthe growth of farm products such as\nare raised1 in northern;. Ontario and, is\neasily-cleared. It is splendidly-wooded\nand watered and would appeal to a;\nclass of settlers who like to have not\nonly good farms but timbered, rolling\nand hilly country with lots of water.\n\"Alberta, mining is developing to a\nremankable degree and this season our\ncompany has decided to utilize its coal\nin Winnipeg. *We have made no purchases of American coal this year and\nIf the bes^of our western coal proves\na success it will give these coal mines\nand towns a busy future.\"\n97MIERS Of\nUN ONS ARE ENLISTED\nStatistics    Gathered    by    Departmwt\nShow  Part That Labor  Is     I   .\nfc Playing in Warf\n(By Daily News Leased Wire.)\nOTTAWA, May 22.\u2014According to\nstatistics gathered by the department\nof labor, 11,977 trade unionists have\nIbeen enlisted In Canada doWn to the\nclose of 1915, while 459 British reservists rejoined their regiments from the\nranks of trade unionists.\nAs many union branches have not\nreported it is estimated that the foregoing figures should be increased by\napproximately one thousand.

P.\nSchreiner), the Marquis of Crewe, lord\npresident of the council, said that\nRafter the war was over one of the matters to be considered would be the\nestablishment of a closer connection\nbetween Great Britain and the dominions.\nThe opinion was at one time held\nby men of different parties that in\nthe process of time the self-governing\ndominions would develop a desire to\nleclare their independence. The war\nhad destroyed that Illusion. The experiences of the war had also tended\nto make military and naval cooperation more active.\nThe next question to bo considered\n.was that of economic union. There\nwas no upholder of their existing system who would not be prepared to\nadmit that difficulties affecting not\nonly the domestic, but the foreign\nrelations of the empire must receive\nfull' study and examination In consequence of the vast convulsion which\nnow affected not only their commercial relations within the Empire, but\ntheir relations with the whole world.\nApart, however, from that question,\nthey would be bound to consider the\npossibility of closer political union.\nThey could all hope that, as Burke\nsaid, what nature had divided in one\nway wisdom might unite in another,\nand although it might not be possible\nfor them nt the moment to lay down\nrules for such a close political connection, they were entitled to hope for\nit and to bear in mind all its possibilities.\n\u25a0 Sir George Perley in replying, said\nthat in ordinary times It might not be\nwise to deal with such controversial\nmatters as the fiscal question which\nhad been referred to by Lord Crewe,\nbut they now had a coalition government In office; and a greater amount\n,of latitude might bo allowed in the\n'discussion of those questions, Canada\nlooked forward to closer cooperation\nwhereby tho Dominions would havo\nsomething to say in great questions\nof common concern, such as peace and\nwar, and foreign relations. Speaking\nwith a full sense of responsibility, he\nhad no hesitation in saying that the\nImperial Ideal was a live one in Can-\na*aa-. There must be some w,ay in\nwhich' the people of the empire could'\nbe brought together. He had no cut-\nand-dried plan, but he believed that the\nbest way to initiate the movement\nwould be to havo a conference of the\nrepresentative men of both parties In\nthe mother country nnd the Dominions.\nWith; regard to the commercial and\nbusiness aspects of the imperial question, they all knew what a large part\ncommercial affairs liad played in all\nempires. He did riot wish to say anything with regard, to the fiscal question, which had divided parties in that\ncountry, but he believed that steps\nshould he taken to make their empire\nself-contained. They should be in a\nposition to assert their economic independence. Germany had been able\nto T-ut. up this great -fight becnusc she\nand her allies were nearly self-contained.\nTheir imperial dignity alone, he argued, should tell them thnt if the mines\nof Australia or .Canada produced a\nmetal that was needed by the empire\nin Us finished state! the control of\nthat metal from its first production\nto the finished state should be in the\nhands of Britons and not of Aliens.\nWhile that island should produce as\nmuch as it couid for its^own use, and\nwhile Canada should produce everything it could for its own use, there\nwas always something which each\nneeded and which each could not produce, and In such cases it was in his\nopinion better to buy those needed\ngoods from another part of the empire\nthan from a foreign country. If Great\nBritain could produce tools and machinery which Canada needed, but\ncould not manufacture herself, why\nshould not Canada buy from Great\nBritain instead of, say, from the United States? In the same way, if Great\nBritain wanted something she could\nnot produce\u2014pulp, for instance\u2014wns it\nnot better that she should buy it from\nCanada than from Sweden? He be-\nllved that one of the greatest steps\nthey could take toward imperial unity\nwas to make the empire as self-supporting as possible. They had in Canada an imperial ideal. This is why\nthey had given tho preference to the\ngoods* of the mother country. That\nalso was why they had developed their\nrailway system east and west, instead\nof north-and south, as a precaution\n\\. against their trade uelng drawn toward the'' United States. That also\n-.was why the election that was fought\non the imperial ideal of closer connection witli the United States. It was\nhign time that the sentimental ideas\nwhich bound their empire together now\nshould be translated into action. They\nmust grow gradually closer together,\notherwise they would drift wider apart.\nBRIGHT  OUTLOOK\nFOR TOURIST SEASON\n  x\n' As. tho! season advnncos indications\narp increasing that tourist traffic this\nsumpier will reach rccoid proportions\nand that this district will share In the\nbenefits which  will  result from  the\n\/ When using x\nWILSONS   \\\nFLY PADS\nREAD   DIRECTIONS     \/\n**\u25a0       CAREFULLY AND\/\n>^r- FOLLOW THEM\/\n^~~     \"\\*v     EXACTLY\/.\nPar more effective than Sticky Ply\n^Catchers.

Dr. W. 0. Rose. H. P.\nThomas, city electrician, stated that\nunder the present plan, the three light\ncarbon lamp clusters burned 180 watts\nper hour and gave but 50 candle power,\nwhereas the new lights would each\ngivo 100 candle power for a consump\ntion of 100 watts per hour. He ex\nplained further that under the system\nnow in uso, it was found cheaper to\nkeep the lamps burning day and night,\nns each cluster would have to be turn\ned off separately, thus necessitating\na special staff of men to atond'to the\nwork.\nPower Saved,\nTt is proposed, Mr, ThomaB said, in\ninstalling the new system to have\ngroups of 40 lights under tho control\nof one switch, operated at the sub'\nstation\", which could be turned off and\non by one man. By this means, ho declared, the lights would never have to\nburn for moro than 10 hours at a\nstretch, which ho pointed out, taken\nwith the saving in consumption In the\nnew lights, would mean a saving of\nabout 3240 watts in electric power per\nday.\nThe new lights will be Installed on\nthe present poles, one light to each\npole, in place of the inadequate three-\nlight clusters now in use, each new\nlamp giving double the candlo power of\nthe three old ones and more than\ndouble the light. This latter, Mr.\nThomas explained wns due to the fact\nthat tho carbon filament in tho old\nlamps was placed in a vacuum and\nthat the rays of light generated in this\nway lost much of their intensity when\nprojectod through the glass into the\natmosphere. In the ease of the now\nlights, the bulbs, ho said, toeing filled\nwith nitrogen, tlie rays of light mot\nwith the same molecular density when\nprojectod into the atmosphere nnd\ntherefore retained their full intensity,\npassing through tho glass of tho bulb\nwithout check.\nThe council Instructed Mr. Thomas\nto instal a service on 40 poles, which It\nis understood, will bo within a short\nradius of tho substation and it is believed tho equipment now in use on the\npoles will bo used In outlying portions\nof tho city that are at present insufficiently lighted.\nHospital  Restrictions.\nA letter regarding the request for\na permit to build an isolation hospital\nadjacent to tho Kootenay Lake Gon-\neral hospital, from tho provincial board\nof health was road, grant the asked for\npermission on tho following grounds:\n(1) Building to bo 200 feet from the\nnearest building or highway; (2) the\nadministration department and kitchen\nto be Incorporated in tho building; (3)\ndoors and windows to bo screened to\nprevent infection being carrioil hy files;\n(4) accommodation for nurses to be\non tlie premises and arrangements for\nfumigating their clothes made; (5) a\nsteam sterilizer to bo installed; (fi)\npatients must bo prevented from leaving the building while carrying contagion.\nAid. Dr, W. O. Rose too exception to\ntho first clause, saying thnt the -re\nstriction on building within 200 feet of\na highway was absurd.   On tho motion\nof Aid. I. A. Austin seconded by Aid,\nA. S.

Creed, wjio is a\nTammany hall expert imported from\nNew York, was also appointed by thfs\ncommittee prior to .Scott's appointment*]\nsaid Mr. Pound. Scott had an office\nstaff of eight or ten -clerks and stenographers. The vouchers for payment\nof their salaries came to him from M.\nA. Macdonald. Some of tlie accounts\nwero unpaid. Mr. Pound said that the\nbunch of check's Scott dangled before\nGosden and Phill Robertson and said\nrepresented $1700 or $1800 and which\nhad to bo O.K.'d beforo he could pay\nthem wero really 11 checks for less\nthan $200 made out to employoes and\nothers and which were not sent out\nbecause funds to meet them were lacking.

He had shown tl em tho\nletter from. Tom .Carroll to Sullivan\nstating that the piuggers were to be\nbrought In. This was the letter which\ncaused Sullivan to go to Seattle, get\nfurther information and then commence his work of trying to block the\nLiberal plugging activities.

Macdonald were on board\nand that another gang was coming\nover by train. Theso wires he received\nafter the steamer and train had arrived. He told the police and immigration authorities of this.\nThe police promised to send men out\nand try to catch the piuggers and the\nImmigration inspector after pointing\nout that it was difficult to keep out\nmen who .had return tickets and money\nin their pockets, promised to do his\nbest. Welsh said he had destroyed the\nCarroll letter and the two wireless\nmessages two weeks after election\nwhen cleaning out his desk as he con\nsldered them of no further value.\nCopies of messages could be obtained\nfrom tho company, he remarked. He\nsaid there was nothing. In the CoTroll\nletter as far as .ho remembered to show\nwho tho piuggers wore to vote for.
