C, Sept. 28.\u2014\nSpeculation is still rife as to the per-\nsonel of the forthcoming Brewster cabinet. The Liberal leader is busily engaged each day in meeting delegations,\ndeputations and successful candidates\nand making his plans for taking office on the retirement of the present\ngovernment. The provincial Liberal\nheadquarters in the Jones building,\nVictoria, has already taken on the appearance of tho lobbies during a session.\n\"W. W. Bacr, formerly provincial organizer for the Liberal party and one-\n\"time editor of the Times, is in charge\nof the clerical staff, and is acting as\nsecretary for Mr. Brewster.\nJohn Hart, as campaign manager,\nhas his office in the same building.\nThe task of tho cabinet makers is\nrendered more than ordinarily difficult by the element of uncertainty injected into the situation by the delay\nof the soldiers' vote. There arc ono\nor two men whose names naturally\nariso In connoctlon with the Liberal\ngovernment, whose election is still in\ndoubt.\nThere seems to be a general desir\nthat Mr. Brewster will himself assu:\nthe portfolio of finance, owing to ti.^.\ngeneral confidence felt In him by The\nparty at large, \u2022 itjup the apprehension\nwhich any appointment of a less satis-\n^aetory-. raemb^r-would cft>ati<, Mr. Oliver's name is that most usually associated with thc portfolio of agriculture, his majority now being sufficiently large to justify thc hopes of his\nfriends that It will not he overturned\nby the soldier vote.\nSloan for Mines.\nMr. Sloan's friends are making a\nvigorous campaign for the department\nof mines for thnt member, should he\nbe successful, Ralph Smith, the other\nmember whose name Is most frequently heard in that connection,\nmight take either the lands or works,\nthe_ other department going to T. D.\nPattullo of Prince Rupert, who is at\ntho capital and is believed to be actively advancing his claim to recognition for his part of the country. M.\nA. Macdonald will, of course, be attorney-general Dr. King, possibly, provincial, secretary. The presidency of the\ncouncil may go to Mr. Pauline, who\nvanquished D. M. Eberts in Saanich,\nwhile ,T. W. Weart of Vancouver may\ntake the speaker's throne.\nDr. Sutherland of Revelstoke. is another member for whom recognition is\ntoeing urged, while Mr. McLean of\nGreenwood has already heen to Victoria urging similar recognition. .\nReports to date give a total of eight\nopposition members. These are Messrs.\nSchofield (Trail), Shatford (Similkameen), Jones (South Okanagan), Hunter (Slocan), Rose (Nelson), McDonald (Llllooet), Ross (Prince George)\nand Haywood (Cowichan). Of these\neight the seat of Hon. W. R. Ross\nseems to be the most precarious. He\nhas quite a small majority of about.\n27 and is almost a stranger to his\npresent riding. His opponent lias the\nadvantage of being personally acquainted with most of the soldiers\nwho went to the front, and will, therefore, have a distinct advantage In the\nvote taken among them. This may\ngive the seat to the new government.\nDoubt in Some Ridings.\nTho majority of Mr. Hunter Is also\nlow, hut his seat would not be exposed to the same danger.

Thiepval was held by tho\nisoth German regiment, which had\nbeen there for a long time. According\nto prisoners (be defenders had fortified the commanding ridge with a\nscries of rnmlfied tunnels nnd diiKouts.\nThey had dug into the chalky earth\nwith beaver-like industry, until they\nwere safe under a shell fire which\nwould have turned a fort like Maubc-\nauge or Liege or any other of the prewar type into the jumbled grave of its\ngarrison. Tho men of the ISOth regiment asked permission to remain in\nThiepval, giving their word that it\nwould never be taken from them and\nthe German army commander consented.\nNot only at this village but along\nthe ridge upon which hangs the whole\nAnglo-French movement wns the same\nmazo of warrens where the Germans\nlived with all Ihe comforts of home.\nThe ISOth hud cudgled Its brains to\nmake Thiepval thc last word In this\nkind of defen.se. It was this sort of\npreparation which stopped lhe British\nattack July 1. Then as the British infantry charged after the artillery bombardment the Germans popped out of\ntheir hiding places with many machine guns and swept the lines of the\nBritish with their deadly fire.\nMake Gradual Gains.\nBit by bit since July 1 the British\nhave worked their way forward. Yesterday when they went after Thiepval\nand the Zollern redoubt, British soldiers, as one of the captured Germans\nsaid, were at the door of the dugouts\nalmost as soon as the last shell had\nfallen. A hurricane of shell fire kept\nthe Germans in their burrows and\nwhen It had lifted the British had arrived\nThough the Germans In many dugouts where their galleries of escape\nwere closed, surrendered In bodies, in\nother instances they kept the faith\nthat the 180th would die before surrendering Thiepval. All day yesterday\nthe British were prying forth entrances\nto dugouts in the blackened ruins of\nthe town amid the stench of all kinds\nof explosives as well as gas und lacrimal shells. There was sporadic hand\nto hand fighting and nt intervals Germans appeared from the bowels of the\nearth with their hands up and sur\nrendered to tho British soldiers, who\nwere smoking cigars found in the\nGerman dugouts.\nAn example of what persistent dig'\nging will do hi the extension of cellars\nof buildings is given by Motinet farm,\nwhich the British took Sept. 15. They\nblew in the mouth to all the entrances\nof dugouts that they could find and\nhad advanced their line well beyond\nthe farm when a British officer saw\ntwo Germans standing on a sort of\nslag heap close to his side. They\nbeckoned to him and he thought that\nthey were prisoners left behind by\ntheir escort, but as he wont toward\nthem one shot him dead. Both then\ndisappeared in the ground. Later other\nGermans came to tho surface and be\nSan firing into the backs of a party of\nIiritish pioneers, who dropped their\nshovels and took after the Germans.\nWhen thc pioneers1 returned after a\nfierce underground fight they brought\nwith them as prisoners an officer and\n50 men. It is supposed that the Germans here had found thc forgotten\ntunnels of a medieval monastery and\nadded auxiliary ones to suit their own\npurposes.\nGermans Losing Heart.\nAll observers agree that of late'the\nGermans, when left in isolated strong\npoints with orders to hold fast to the\ndeath, are less inclined than formerly\ntu obey their instructions to thc letter.\nAn officer of the Prussian guards reserve division, who was captured yesterday was in a state of disgust and\nexpressed himself freely,\nWe got no support from our artillery,\" he said, \"The Iiritish had twice\nour number of guiis and three times\nvs many aeroplanes while our aviators\nseemed to have lost their nerve.

Dr. von IVthmann-IIoIIwog, delivered his eagerly awaited speech. Ho\nbegan by outlining the events which\nled up Io the Italian and Rumanian\ndeclaration!, of war. He recalled that\nthe German ambassador had left Rome\nafter Italy's deelaration of war against\nAustria-I I ungnry and that Germany\nhad announced that the Italians would\nfind Genua ;i (roups fighting with their\nAiiHiro-Hmmarian comrades on the Italian fronl. He continued:\n\"Thus a stale nf war practically existed, but a formal declaration of war\ndid not come until some time later.\nItaly apparently was afraid of the\nusual consequences which it would\nsuffer after the war In regard to Its\neconomic relations with us.\n\"Gil the other hand, Rome preferred\nto lay. the blame for the declaration at\nQUI* door. But for us. there was uo\nreason to play Italy's game. Our tactics were justified by the uninterrupted efforts uf tlie entente powers to\ncause Italy to declare war.\nL \"For moro than a year the Italian\ngovernment resisted. Finally the measures which England employs with\nequal rilthlessnoss against neutrals\nand its allies were too strong. Italy's\nwarfare depends upon English coal and\nEnglish money. Finally it had to give\nin.\n\"The.decision certainly was brought\nabout by British coercion, although Italian hopes in regard to the Balkans\nalso exercised influence. Italy, as Is\nknown, desired those territories that\naro within the national sphere of\nGreek interest.\n\"In order not to bo abandoned Italy\nfound it necessary to partake In the\nexpedition of Gen.

Mackenzie and Manson have\nthe same expectations, and Fernie, in\nwhich the Conservative Is Thomas l*l>-\nhill. There remains also a remote possibility of two seats In Vancouver being sfivr' for tbe government, while\nManson of Comox has also not yet\nabandoned hope.\nFrom the foregoing it will lie seen\n(hat there is a possibility of an opposition of perhaps a dozen in the next\nbouse. The Conservative party, from\nhich they may be a, dozen members,\nwill be badly handicapped for experienced leadership, particularly should\nMr. Bowser not be fleeted and lion.\nMr. Ross lose the seat which now\nseems to hold for Prince George. Of\ntbe remaining members, Messrs.\nSchofield. Shatford and Haywood are\nthe most likely names that occur I\"\nconnection with the leadership of the\nparty tn the event of Mr. Bowser himself not retaining his seat for Vancouver, or of taking another riding.\nMr. Shatford is the senior of the\ngroup, having been longer continuously in the house than the others, although Mr, Hayward of Cowichan Is\nquite nn old member, but dropped oat\nfor the life nf one parliament.\nBowser's Plans Not Given.\nDuring lhe election Mr. Bowser told\na Vancouver audience that Vancouver\nhnd first sent him to parliament and\nthat should he not lip relumed nn this\noccasion lie would not seek a seat elsewhere. His friends say he is quite fixed in this determination and that,\nshould the result of the soldier vote\nnot alter the situation in Vancouver\nhe will drop out of political life and\nwill resume his practise in this city.\nMeantime the beads of the different\ndepartments arc closing up their correspondence and are preparing to -vacate offices early next month. It has\nalready been announced that no new\n. ppointments will be made and no new\nmatters nf policy undertaken by the\npresent administration and that as\nclean a slate as possible will bo left\nfor the Incoming government.\nMost of tbe ministers are in Victoria,\nincluding, in addition to the premier,\nMessrs. Campbell. McGuire, Manson\nand Ross.\nReports compiled by Liberal headquarters in Victoria from their agents\nthroughout Canada and from eablp advices from their scrutineers in England, Indicate that tho soldipr vote,\nso far as the candidates are concerned, will fall far short of some estimates which have appeared in lhe\npress. It was believed that IS,000 nr\n20,000 soldiers would vote on the two\nreferendums. upon which there remains several months to cast ballots.\nVote, of Spldiers.\nSo far as the votes for candidates\nare concerned tbe number of soldiers\nwho have availed themselves of exercising their franchise seems to be less\nthan 12,000. of this number about\n7300 voted in England nnd a little over\n4000 in Canada. Of the English v\nabout 1900 wpre.from Vancouver, 400\nfrom South Vancouver. 1200 from Victoria and 250 each from Prince Rupert, Comox, New Westminster, Nelson and Nanaimo.\nThe soldier vote as far as Vnncouver\nis concerned amounts tn about 3800,\nwhich leaves a sufficient margin\nchange materially the relative standing of one or two of the lowest of the\nLiberal ticket and the highest of the\nConservative ticket. There is, for instance, a difference between Mr. Howser and Mr. Donnelly of only 2ir> voles.\nout of a total of 3SO0 il will be seen\nthat there is an opportunity for a reversal of their relative positions.\nBetween Mr. Tisdall and Mr. Cowper\nthere is a difference of nearly 1000\n.votes, so there is a remote chance of\nthe soldier vote being so preponderate\nIngly in favor of Mr. Tisdall as to put\nhim in the elected class. The most\nConservatives can hope for evidently\nin Vancouver would be one seat.\nLEMIEUX ACT IS HIT\nAl\nMeasure Is Strongly Opposed at Final\nSession of Meeting in\nToronto\nTORONTO, Sept. 28.\u2014By an overwhelming .majority the Trades and\nLabor congress, just before adjournment tonight, went on record as being opposed to the Lemieux Industrial\nDisputes act In its entirety, This action followed several long sessions devoted to discussion of tbe administration of the Lemieux act and also to a\ndraft act which the council had bad\ndrawn up by J. O'Donoghue at the request of last year's (Vancouver) convention.\nTin- first motion before the convention was that the convention go on\nrecord as favoring Ibe amendment of\nlhe Lemieux act according to Mr.\nO'Donogbue's draft. This was amended by Delegate Reese of Pernio, seconded by D. Irvine, both members of\nthe United Mine Workers of America,\nthat lhe congress ask repeal of the\nact.\nThe amended motion was adopted\nalmost unanimously.\nThe consensus of opinion during the\nafternoon debate was that, while the\nact might liave on some occasions\nproved beneficial, it had outlived its\nusefulness, and was a detriment to\nthe cause of ttye woge earners. Its\nadministration 'by tbe minister of\nlabor hod not been satisfactory. Many\nof the delegates claimed that the act\nbad been framed for the benefit of the\nemployer and not the employed. Rail-\nwaymen and miners bad chiefly been\nadversely affected and the leaders\nof other organizations bad come to\ntbe conclusion that it was time for\nthe congress to consider what stops\nshould lie taken if the government refused to repeal the act.\nDelegate Russell ol\" Winnipeg, submitted an amendment that the government be notified that organized\nlabor would not recognize the net but\nfafled to get a seconder.\nDelegate Magniis Sinclair of the\nexecutive of tho International Street\nRailways union, referred to the consideration at Washington of a similar\nact nnd urged that the congress tell\nthc workingmen of (be United States\nthat the Canadian wage earners wero\nopposed to it.\nDelegate Francb of Montreal raised\na storm of protest by favoring the\nprinciple of the bill.\nYEARLY ALLOWANCES\nPayments to Dependents of Soldiers\nHave Increased to Over Two\nMillion a Month.\nOTTAWA.

The\nAsociacion de AgricuUorcs del Eeua\ndor claimed the goods. The president\nsaid the case govc rise to n novel point\nby reason of o ch&ngQ of ownership of\nthe goods seized between the dotes of\nseizure and cluim.\nThc goods were shipped before thc\nwar and were consigned by the claimants to their own order and under an\noption, they were to lie delivered at\nHamburg to a German firm, Schlu-\nbach, Thiemer & Co.. as agents for\nsole of tiie shippers. After seizure the\ngoods were sohl under an order of the\ncourt.\nThe eiaiin really was for thc re-\nloose of the proceeds of the sole. The\ngoods were insured against war risks\nby the German underwriters of Hamburg. After the seizure Schluboch\n& Co., thc shippers' agents in Germany, made a claim against thc Hamburg underwriters for a total loss\nwhich was paid in full, the money being received by Schluboch & Co., who\ndealt .with it in account. It was admitted that thereupon the Gorman un-\ndewrlters became tho owners of the\ngoods. The claim in these proceedings\nwas not made until nearly a year loter.\nThe position wos not in dispute, it\nwas that at thc lime of the seizure tlie\nproperty in the. goods was in the neutral shippers, und at that time of the\nclaim in thc German underwriters.\nThe claim was undoubtedly made\non behalf of the German underwriters\nand if the proceeds were released to\nthc claimants it was admitted that\nthey would receive them as trustees for\nthc Germans and would have to pay\nthem over accordingly. Upon these\nfacts his judgment was that the claim\nwos disallowed with costs and that thc\nproceeds of the goods now in court\nmust, as enemy properly, be condemned to thc crown as good and lawful\nprlve.\nLONDON, England.\u2014The national\nwar savings committee has issued the\nfollowing report with respect to the\nI sale of war savings certificates and\n! postofflce exchequer bonds during the\nweek ended July 22: 15b 6d war savings certificates, Issued on Monday,\nJuly 17 \u00a3388,805; Tuesday, July 18,\n\u00a3516,396; Wednesday, July 19, \u00a35S5,-\n346; Thursday, July 20, \u00a3375,837; Friday, July 21. \u00a3536.244; Saturday, July\n22, \u00a3523,407; total for thc week,\n\u00a32,926,035; aggregate to date, \u00a314,-\n385,980.

A year ago the Turkish authorities were boasting that the people of the city bad more food than\nbefore the war, but such statements\nare no longer made. The teeming\nmasses of Stamboul's squalid streets\nare now growing sullen under the\ngoad of hunger, and even the multitudinous dogs of the streets and\nalleys seem leaner and hungrier than\never, if such a thing be possible. In\nthe early days of the war the German\nofficers and soldiers wore applauded\nby the populace, but the Teutons are\nnow viewed in sullen silence. The\npeople of Stamboul attribute their\nshortage of food to the fact that such\nvast quantities of edibles have been\nsent to Germany. Even in the dark\ndays of the Gallipoli expedition, when\ntbe sound of enemy guns reached the\nears of the people, and many feared\nthe city was doomed to be captured,\nthe people were far gayer and more\ncare free than they are now. Pera\nand Galata, the fashionable sections\ninhabited largely by foreigners, still\nmaintain the appearance of frivolity,\nand the gay restaurants and cafes are\nfairly well patronized by the German\nand Austrian officers and the still\nlarge foreign contingent which bos remained in Constantinople. Atrocious\nas ore the Turks in many ways, and\nfierce as is their hatred for Christian\n\"infidel dogs,\" it is yet a fact that\nforeign residents of Constantinople\nwho hail from enemy countries hove\nfared much better than the enemy\ncivilians In more civilized countries.\nOne of the Turkish virtues is a belief in the sacred duty of hospitality\nto the stranger, ond they have lived\nup to it during tbe war.

I am here for\nthc third lime during the war und m.v\nearlier impression remains; has Indeed,\nbeen strengthened. If I were obliged\nto live anywhere in Russia I would\nlive in Kieff. Its attractions arc\nvouched for by the large number nf\n\"retired\" people, soldiers and officers\nmostly, who go thither to end their\ndays. It draws them with a magnet\nwhich no other Russian city pos.srsses.\nAlthough it Is in tho.south of Russia its climate is severe. It endures a\nlong and hard but healthy1 winter. Yet\nit has most of the features which we\nassociate with southern cities, it is,\nto begin with, a city of flowers. From-\nMay to September it grows for itself\nthe lilies and violets, the roses and\ncarnations which are sold at every\nstreet corner. During the months of\nsnow and ice the flowers ore in the\nshop windows\u2014exquisite displays from\nPolish gardeners' hot houses and from\nNice.\nNext Kieff is a city of spacious, airy\ngreen. The streets ore broad. The\nshops are handsome and display their\nwares far more attractively than those\nof petrograd or Moscow. There are\nwide, shady boulevards where the sun\nshine filters through thc leafage of\nslim poplar and spreading chestnut.\nLife In the cafes is genial, brisk. The\nwomen are pretty. The men's faces\nsuggest Intelligence. One notices immediately that Kieff Is a \"dressy\"\nplace, Not over-dressy, but with a\nsuggestion of Parisian style, Parisian\nsureness of charm.\nIn Petrograd one feels that the inhabitants do not enjoy life. In Moscow they enjoy eating and drinking.\nIn Kieff they enjoy everything\u2014or, at\nany rate, they look as if they did.

S. Woolf\nsays: Thc cooperative movement is\nthe greatest and most successful socialist experiment that has ever yet\nbeen mode outside the dubious circle\nof state soclolism. For the system of\nindustry now being carried .on In cooperative societies is .a communal as\nopposed to an individualist system. It\nis the community of 3,000,000 who has\nthe control of all the industrial and\ncommercial operations of the movement in their hands, and the system is\nso devised that the impetus and end\nof production ond distribution Is not\nthe profits of this mon or that man,\nof this group or that group, but the\nneeds of the community.\nIt is no exaggeration to say that\nevery cooperative Industrial operation,\nfrom the act of the man handing out\nsugar across tlie counter of the. store\nto the machinery pounding away in\ntbe huge Manchester factories, Is curried on for use and not for profit.\nThe war lias shaken up this vast\norganization considerably, ond lias, I\nthink, mode the cooperator more con-\nshious of himself and bis possibilities.\nIt bos certainly made some other people, including government officers,\nmore conscious of tbe cooperator. In,\nthe first ploce, it has shown the movement how, being set in tlie midst of on\nindividualist, capitalist, profit-making industrial system, on the old plodding lines, it bas not succeeded in getting very for out of the clutches of\ntlie private profit maker.\nWhen the war broke out, tiie patriotic business man, whe'ther shipowner,\nmerchant, wholesale dealer, manufacturer, was by no means averse to trying to moke a little extra profit out of\nrising prices by raising them somewhat higher. Tbe object of tiie co-\noperator being to supply his needs,\nthere is no inducement for him lc\nraise prices in order to,, raise profits,\nand there has acordingly been a strong\nmovement to keep down prices in the\nstores. The 3,000,000 members supply\nthemselves- with goods valued at nearly \u00a3150,000,000 o year, and of this\ngoods to the value of \u00a3 12,000,000 ore\nmanufactured by cooperators in the\nfactories of their wholesale societies.\nNow, where they controlled lo a\ngreat extent lhe actual production of\ngoods, cooperators found that they\nwere able to keep down prices in so\nfar as tbe rise was due to sheer profit\nmaking. Thus for many places tbe\nsociety wos for some time enabled to\nkeep down tbe price of bread, and the\nlarge soap manufacturing factories of\nthe wholesale society have consistently kept down tlie price of soup. But\nthe cooperators control of raw materials is extremely limited; be bas no\ncontrol at all of transport; though his\nmanufactures have grown eiibrmons-\nly his .Industrial system Is still largely confined to buying' wholesale and\nsupplying himself retail with articles\nof food and household use.\nTherefore for a great many of the\ncommodities which he consumes he is\nstill.dependent upon the profit making\nprivate producer and manufacturer.\nThe cooperator soon found that he had\nlittle or no power to keep down the\nprice of wheat and meat for instance.\nHis eyes have been opened to the fact\nthat if his system of communal industry Is'to have'its full effect, he must\ncontrol the supply and production of\nrow .materials on a large scale. This\nhas given on imense impetus In the\nmovement to the demand for an extension of \"cooperative production.\" An\nagitation bus been started for the purchase of land and the growing of\nwheat by the wholesale societies, for\ntbe protection of the movement against\nthe capitalist shipowner by the pur-\nchose of ships. It is possible that after the war we may see a considerable extension of cooperative industry\non these lines. Tt would, of course, require a. large increase of capital in order to embark upon large-scale production. Tto obtain that capital out\nof the working class savings, the dividends upon purchase, of the movement, would not I believe, be impossible, but it would require a considerable amount of sacrifice and faith on\nthe part of the 3,000,000 members.Whe-\nther a new era In cooperative industry is to open after tbe war depends\nentirely upon whether the lost 18\nmonths have instilled sufficient faith\nand energy into the movement.\nThe Montreal Reform club sQnt a\nmessage of congratulation on the result of the British Columbia elections\nto Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper, K.C.,\ncongratulating him oh bis \"efforts for\ndecency in public life and clean government.\"\nTbe Printer ond Publisher of Toronto announces that R.

But\nowners of ships Were not recognized\nas having any claim. In 1825 they\nwere admitted by a judgment of Lord\nStnwell to have an interest In tbe matter and that-Interest hus steadily increased as the value of ships has risen\nand as the time expended in the work\nand the coal and stores used have become considerations of great value.\nIt has gradually become the practise\nin the courts to allow in salvage\nawards SO per cent to the owners and\nsomething like 20 per cent to the\nmaster and crew. In the early days\nof steam\u2014in 1854\u2014another merchant\nshipping act was passed, and without\ndiscussion the crown renounced any\nclaim for expenses incurred by H. M.\nships in rendering salvage service.\nThe act of 1894 also expressly stated\nthat the crown should have no claim\nfor any loss, damage or risk caused\nto the ship or her stores, tackle or\nfurniture or for the use of any stores\nor articles.\u2014Shipping World.\n[Bracelet Watches\nare more and more in demand.

Trail puys $3.25, he said,\nand Fernie. $2.75. The only one as\nhigh or higher Is Rossland which pay's\n$3.50.\nWants to Built up Industries.\n\"If we were to establish a wage scale\nhigher than that of other cities ,in\nKootenay and Boundary it would, in\nmy opinion, work out to tbe disadvantage of tbe laborers and the people of\nthe city as a whole, if our wage\nscale is higher than that of other centres in the district concerns proposing\nto proceed with Industrial enterprises\nwill naturally go to those other places\nWe would lose tbe Industries and the\nlaborers, businessmen and tbe citizens\ngenerally woull suffer,\" said the mayor.\n\"I think, in any event,\" he continued,\n\"that we should not spend more money\nthan we ure compelled to spend at this\ntime on public works. The demand\nfor labor throughout lhe district for\nmining, lumbering and other industrial\npurposes is great. There is no unemployment. After the war conditions\nmay he very different and it seems to\nme that It is our duty to prepare for\nthem. There have been times in Nelson when an expenditure of $40,000 or\n$50,000 on public works, when unemployment was rife, would have been of\nthe greatest benefit to the workers of\nthe city as a whole. I believe, there\nfore, that we should conserve our fi\nnaucial resources In readiness to meet\nwhat the future may hold for us.\"\nTho mayor concluded by expressing\nthc conviction that the council, in view\nof the circumstances, would support\nhim in the veto.\nIINE SAMP\nN\nES\nMINERAL EXHIBIT\nDepartment Smaller Than Last Year\nBut Entries Regarded As of\nGreater Value Than Previously\nAlthough the exhibit of minerals at\nthe Nelson fall fair was not as large\nas had been expected, the samples\nfrom the district mines that were on\nexhibition were of an exceptionally\nhigh grade and aroused considerable\ninterest to mining men who visited tho\ncity expressly to examine the entries.\nAmong those which were .awarded\nfirst prizes were a set of samples of\nfree milling ore from the Noonday\ngroup at Lemon and Eight-Mile\ncreeks, exhibited by Johnston and\nRadeiiffe.

They\ndid not see the premier, but were received by the chief whip, .1. A. Gnl-\nland, M, P. The deputation was headed by Airs. Arncllffe Sennetl, founder\nand presideni of the Northern .Men's\nFederation for woman's suffrage.\nAirs. AriiolilTe-Seiinett stated that\nthe deputation aimed at avoiding a\ndangerous agitation and had therefor,\ncome to point out the danger of Ignoring women in any registration or franchise bill which would dominate the\nne.st general election. If adult suffrage for men wns introduced they\ndesired stern equity for women, who\nalso ought to he included. as adult\nsuffragists. Baillie Hamilton Brown,\nex-ehairman of the labor party in the\nGlasgow town council maintained thnt\nns women were now engaged in doing\nmen's work at the same wages as men\nthey were entitled to the franchise.\nAir. Gulland in reply said that not\nonly had they made nut a dear ease,\nbut they hnd nothing to fear. A great\nadvance had been made during the\nlast month or two in regard to the\nquestion. Air. Asquilh's statement Unit\nhe would no longer oppose the enfranchisement of women indicated tt\nvery great change in regard to lhe\nquestion, and it was only a matter of\ntime when women would have the vote.\nHe confessed that there still remained\na certain prejudice amongst a section\nof members of parliament whose\nnames lie was not at liberty to mention; but he did not wish to make it\na party question and he thought if the\npeople who were anxious to see the\nfranchise extended to women would\nbold their hands, the prejudice would\nbe beaten down. The deputation Iheii\nendeavored to see Mr. Walter LonPj\nand Sir Edward Carson, but without\nsuccess, (in behalf of the former,\nhowever, Air. Gulland informed the\ndeputation that Air. Long held out\nvery great hnpes'thiil all the difficulties would lie overcome and that tho\nfederation would be satisfied,\nCOMMENT MADE ON\nACTION OF FRANCE IN SYRIA\nPARIS, France\u2014The former correspondent of the Temps in Beirut contributes some interesting comments\non the action of France In Syria, especially in connection with the threats\nof reprisals which France bus addressed the Turkish government through\nthe Intermediary njMhe United Slates,\nwith regard to the execution pf tbe\nSyrian notables who were friends of\nl-'rance. If the Turkish government Is\ntu he believed, says the Temps correspondent, these Syrian notables had\ncommitted the crime of entertaining\nfriendly relations with lhe allies previous to the declaration of war.\nAnxlou.4 lo justify their action and\nespecially anxious to strike a blow at\ntiio prestige of France, the Turks did\nunt hestittite to break deliberately into ihe French consulate, in spite of\nthe fact thnt the seal of the United\nStotes hntl been affixed, and pretend\nthnt thoy aad found among the archives\ndocuments establishing tlie guilt of\nlhe notables. Now it had been quite\ndefinitely ascertained that ho lineament had been left in tlie consulate\neither in the lofts nr anywhere else.\nThe Turks made up the whole story\nnnd their version nf the incident is\npore invention, h fact thai will nut\nsurprise people who know anything nf\nthi- ways things are done in Syria.\nThe very diversity nf lhe political opinions of tho notables who liave suffered capital 'punishment would be\nenough to show, if il were necessary,\n(be bold hypocrisy of tin- pretext given by the Turks for their ucthm,\nFor many years it lias been t\\ recognised fnct that the emir Omar Abd\nel Knder was n French protege; it was\nknown that Sheikh Taburra was nn\nInfluential member of the parly which\naims nt the reconstitution of an in\ndependent Arab nation; Selim Bey\nTabbat wus u'prominent christian and\na British protege, with whom the\nFrench consul-general was not always\non the best-terms. In this affair the\nTurks had, but one aim; to strike at\npersons favorable to the allied cause\non any pretext which served their\npurpose. It would seem, however, that\nthey did not act entirely on their own\ninitiative; it is easy to seq in the finding of compromising documents, so\ncarelessly \"forgo!ten\" by the French\nconsular agents, a characteristic feature of German methods, Once more\nto prove a case of French carelessness\nwas a temptation which Berlin could\nnot resist! Was Berlin wholly in the\nwi;ong? Many a time we have provided tlie weapons which the Germans\nhave used agninsi us. Tlie mistakes of\na. hesitating oriental policy, the reserve of an administration that did\nnot want any unpleasantness, resulted in some regrettable incidents wiiich\nwent far to justify tlie bad opinion entertained of France.\nThe Temps correspondent goes on\nto cite two examples of tbe way in\nwhich France allowed herself to be\nilufied ln the east, one of which was\nas follows: In ibe st niggle whicli\nFrance bas carried on against Germany with regard to railway concessions in Turkey, Hie correspondent\nstates, our diplomacy hns often bad\nto maintain confidential arrangements\nwith a group who represented French\nInterests ln that region. Now In this\ngroup then, was a Get'mun, a very active German, whose work was recompensed by the French government by\ntbe bestowcl of the Legion of*Honor,\nTin1 Germnn Emperor also showed his\ngratitude hy making him a privy councilor and giving him a title.\nHow can any astonishment be felt\nthen nt the fact that Prance had the\nhonor to build with her own capital\nn railway system of commercial importance doubtless, but which also\nhad great strategic value. Tiie allies\nnow know the Importance of tliis railway-of the railway lines Suinn-l'an-\ndermo, Tripoli-Hums, Aleppo' Raynk,\nDamascus, Cajffu and Jerusalem. It\nwas even quite- probable that the\nFrench would take their share In the\ndefense works of these strategic railways, works planned in 11)13 by Colonel vmi [Cupel, chief of stuff of tbe Li-\nman von Sanders mission then hi Syria.\nIn conclusion, the correspondent of\nlhe Temps, referring to the representations made to the Ottoman government by Ibe American nmbassador Jit\ntbe demand of the French government\nwhile admitting ihe need for action,\nemphasizes tlie necessity of Ibe utmost prudence. II must not 'be forgotten, he says, that the Turks have\nnumerous French and allied prisoners,\nboth soldiers and civilians. For two\nyears the Turks have dragged too\nmany of our*fel!ow countrymen through the plains of Mesopotamia, the\nmoun tn ins of Kurdistan and of Armenia! \\Vl19n ithoir martyrdom comes\nto be known, il will once more revolt\ntlie civilized world. Should we \"put\nour threats into execution the results\nwill be even more disastrous and will\nproduce even worse conditions than\nthose iilrendy prevailing. To send fond\nto Syria be adds, means to send food\nto Ibe Turkish armies, \u25a0 >ne would\nftnyo tn be very simple not to realize.\ntbai. in spile of all precautions, this\nwould certainly be the case.\nWAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES.\nLONDON, England\u2014With tbe view\nof removing doubts wlilch have existed and appear still to exist as tn the\naccuracy nf tbe statement thnt war\nsavings certificates tire not Unfile to\nihcotne tax. the national war savings\ncommittee directs attention to section\n42 of the finance act, 1B10, which provides thai tlie accumulated interest\npnyuhle in respect of any l\u00bb-(i war\nsavings certificate shall not be liable\nto Income tax so long ns tbe amount\nof the cerlificates held by lhe purchaser does not, exceed tbe authorized\nmaximum of r.00 certificates, of which\nthe cost price is \u00a3.187.10.0.\nMajor IL F.

MCMIla-\nlaaVN, WhO\nhas ' Initiated many notable\n1 m p ro v e ments\nsince he became\nGenera] Manager\not the C.P.R.

Mr. McMillan is convinced that many\nof those who\nsend telegrams\nwould be quite\nsatisfied it these\narrived on the\nsame day, whereas a proportion _\nof the cost of the rush telegram Is due tothe cost ot speedy dellveryj\nThe day letter of fifty words will be rated at one and a half times the\ncost of a regular rush message of ten words and can still bring an answer\nthe satae day, whioh is as quick as many people desire.

(30ed to proceed with plans for the\noperation 'of a cooperative creamery\nin Nelson.\nThe delegates wero in attendance at\nthe first of a series of Farmers institute conferences arranged at the central convention at Victoria last spring.\nEstimates given of the number of\nmilch cows in the section from tbe\ninternational boundary on the south\nto Creston valley on the east, and\nRossland, Patterson, Trail and the\nArrow and Slocan lakes and Lardeau\non the west and north ranged from a\ntotal of 800 to 900. There are 22G\nhead of mileli cattle in the district between Nelson and Waneta. Throe\nhundred animals are considered sufficient to create the necessary supply\nfor a creamery costing about ?3000 ex-\nelusive of site. Nelson was chosen because of its central location and a\ncommittee composed of W. A. Barrett\nof Fruitvale. .T. .T. Campbell of Willow\nPoint, Edgar Jamieson of Slocan valley, C. F. McHardy of Nelson and J.\nM .Shepley of Shoreacres was named to proceed with plans for the project.\nIt is intended to secure the necessary capital from ranchers engaged in\nthe dairy and allied branches of farming. Money nllghl possibly be borrowed from the government but opinion at\nthe conference was unanimous that\nthe new cooperative concern would be\nmuch better off if it commenced business without thc overhead charges involved by payment of interest on borrowed money.\nSee Profits in Byproducts\nMr. Barrett was one of the strong\nadvocates of the creamery plan.\nEnough monev could be saved in byproducts such as buttermilk and\nskimmed milk alone to pay dairy expenses, he declared. He favored Nelson as the site for the creamery because of its location and because it\nalso offered a market right at hand\nfor the finished product. Buttermilk\nsells at 40 cents a gallon.\nCreamery products are to be manufactured and sold under a special\nFarmers' institute label and guarantee.\nOn'e of tlie consequences of tho establishment of a creamery, said W. E.\nScott, deputy minister of agriculture,\nwho came from Victoria to attend the\nconference, would be that farmers\nwould rapidly weed out cows guilty of\na small hutterfat production. No\nfarmer should feed milch cows without testing the butterfat. output and\nweighing the total milk product. Cost\nof apparatus, he said, was small. He\ndivided cows into two classes\u2014producers and \"hoarders.\" Several farmers present told Mr. Scott they had\ndiscovered \"hoarders\" among their\nown flocks and bad been able to pick\nthem out by means of the Babcoek\ntest. They had then sent them to the\nblock. As w result of use of the Bah-\ncock test In the Chilliwack district,\nsaid Mr. Scott, the \"boarders\" had\nbeen weeded out of tbe herds and the\naverage hutterfat production raised\nfrom 2-10 lo SfiO pounds.\nWant; Lower Express Rates\nS. p. Pond called attention to express rates. Dominion Express\ncharges were three times ns great as\nrales charged by the Great Northern\non the line, between Nelson and\nWaneta. Conference members asserted their belief that, when they were\nunited in a cooperative creamery they\nwould have little difficulty in convincing tbe Dominion Express company of\nthe necessity for a reduction to the\nCroat Northern tariff basis.\nMr. Sbeiiley was one of tbe strong\nadvocates of a creamery and stated\nthat a low estimate of the number of\nmilch, cattle in the district of which\nShoreacres is the centre was 125. This\nnumber would be doubled or more in\na year if a cooperative creamery\nwere established, he declared.\n\"Last year British Columbians sent\nS2.500.000 outside the province for\nbutter alone. Our own ranchers eon\nget this business If they go after if,\"\nsaid Deputy Minister Kentt. He mentioned Salmon Arm, Kelowna and\nArmstrong as among Okanagan centres where cooperative creameries\nwere being success fill y operated by\nthe dairy farmers. Salmon Arm was\nshipping its butter as far west as Victoria, where it sold for r\u00bb0 cents a\npound, \"I don't think there is any\nmore suitable centre in the province\nfor a cooperative creamery than Nelson.\" ho said.\nMr. Jamieson endorsed the creamery plan.,. Many ranchers in the Slocan valley, he stated, wore intending\nto increase their dairy herds directly\ncooperative creamery were established and they were assured of a\nsteady market and favorable prices.\nMr. Campbell said that ibe west arm\nranchers were equally strongly in\nfavor of the plan.\nCalgary\nBeer\nEXPORT.

Sugar\nbeing up high in price tlie bees also\nsuffered on that account in many instances. Very little artificial feeding\nwill be necessary this fall and presence of sufficient wholesome natural\nfood in the hives will cause better\nwintering results to be looked for with\nstronger colonies at the commencement of next season,\" stated a report\npresented at the annual meeting of the\nKootenay Beekeepers association yesterday.\n\"Much could be done by members In\nimproving and extending the sources\nfrom which nectar Is gathered by the\nbees, and so increasing the general\nhoney yield by persuading their\nfriends'and neighbors to grow alsilce\nin place of red clover wherever possible.

There is believed to bo no\nreason why all Ibe honey consumed In\nBritish Columbia should not bo produced in the province. It has been\nstated that tlie present annual importation is at least 80 tons, which at 20\ncents per pound would amount to\n?.1^,000. In addition the services rendered to tlie community by the bees in\npollcnizing fruit blossoms and so Increasing and improving fruit crops\nare incalculable. For this purpose it\nhas heen estimated that at least one\nhive of bees Is required for each acre\nof fruit trees so that more and more\nbees should be kept If only for Ibis\nalone.\nThere have boen some remarkable\nyields of honey during the past season.\nAt one apiary in Creston two tons of\nextracted honey and 500 pounds of\ncomb honey are said to have been\nlakeiT from 11 hives, spring count. Tlie\nvalue of this at 20 cent per pound is\n\u25a0JiToo, thus making il quite an import-\nart! side-line.\nSpecimen jars of honey taken at\nyarioUd places in the Kootenays were\ninteresting.
