It was still far\nfrom being an active market, the turnover In listed stocks being less than\n6500 shares, but that was approximately two to three times the daily turnover in the early part of the week,\nand the expansion was viewed as satisfactory in the circumstances.\nA good demand for Dominion lion\nwas the principal feature of the day.\nAbout 2200 shares were taken at an\nadvance of 1% points to 62, with the\nclose strong at G2% bid.

That fact has\nbecome obvious to n remarkable degree since Sir Robert Borden, conscious of his duty to Canada and\nCanada's duty to the Empire and the\nEjmplre's cause, made his announcement that the government had decided\nupon compulsory service as a consequence of war conditions that had\narisen. The English-speaking people\nof Canada, no matter what they might\nhave thought as to the advisability of\nconscription three or six months ago,\nare today convinced of the fact that\ncompulsory service is fair and the\nonly method by which the men required can be secured.\nThe anti-British element in Quebec\nIs protesting and will continue to protest. Nothing else was expected.\nQuebec's poor response under voluntary enlistment intimated clearly\nenough that conscription would meet\nwith fierce attacks from that province.\nSporadic assaults arc being made\nfrom other provinces, but lt Is safe to\nsay that In the English-speaking\nprovinces the consclenclous volun-\ntarylsts are now very much In the\nminority. There are, however, irresponsible political agitators who will\ndoubtless endeavor to benefit to tho\ngreatest possible extent from the vestiges of honest antl-compulslon sentiment which have outlived the march\nof^vents. flreat.Britain: hod .that expedience and the United States, as\nwell as Canada, is now undergoing it.\nITALIAN VICTORY DUE LARGELY\nTO TRANSPORT TRIUMPHS\nTo thn remarkable system nf transportation which has enabled the Italian army to carry Its heavy guns to\nthe high peaks in the Curso region is\nlargely attributable the success which\nhas been attained fn this week's drive.\nHundreds of heavy guns have been\nplaced In positions that were thought\nInaccessible even to the lighter cannon.\nCaverns have been dug out of solid\nrock and used us gun stations as much\nas 10,000 feet above sen level in a\ncountry which presents greater transportation difficulties than this section\nof Rritish Columbia.\nTrenches, also, have been hewn out\nof the solid rock and the crevices filled\nwith cement.\nTho transport of heavy guns to\nthese great altitudes has been accomplished through the construction of\nzig-zag railroads, the difficulty of\nsecuring grades having been surmounted by the Italian engineers,\nwhose genius has astonished visitors\nfrom other nations who have beon\npermitted to inspect the work.\nCANADA WELCOMES A GREAT\nSTATESMAN.\nCanadians all over the Dominion will\nJoin In the welcome that is being extended to Right Hon. A. J. Balfour, the\nBritish foreign secretary, who is in this\ncountry ut the conclusion of his historic visit to the United States.\nDuring a long career us a public man\nMr. Balfour has been in the from rank\nof the British statesmen who have\nnever lost sight of the place the dominions overseas were destined to play\nin the British Empire.\nHe has in the past been attacked as\na theorist, he has been derided for his\nphilosophical researches, but during\nwar he has proved himself to be a\nvery practical sort of a theorist. His\nremarkable intellectual powers, his\nbreadth of vision nnd his knowledge of\nEuropean and Imperial affairs have\nserved the Empire and tho entente\ncause well.\nI think that success will continue. It\nwould trump another trick and might\nproduce an earlier termination of the\nwar than those in high command\nallow themselvos to hope for.\"\nNaturally Mr. Jones gave not tho\nslightest intimation as to the nature\nof the new measures of defense, or\noffense, against tho undersea boats.\nThat Is a secret in the possession of\nthe British authorities, the navy and\nthe Germans who fall victims to Its\nsuccess. But the returns of losses\nfrom submarine attack recently,\ntaken ln conjunction with Mr. Jones'\nstatement and Lloyd George's prediction yesterday that the enemy had\nscored another big failure, indicate\nthat the improvement in the situation\nis due to the new methods that have\nbeen put into effect by the admiralty\nrather than to the suggested explanation that the majority of enemy submarines happened at this time to havo\nreturned to port for repairs. Probably\nan unusually large number of them\naro either beyond repair or chained\nup in British harbors.\nIf some of the Irish leaders would\n'\"pair\" for the next six months their\nfollowers might get together and reach\na settlement.\nWhen the Liberal Monthly for Muy\nattacks the policy of imperial preference it is making a great mistuke if\nit thinks it is speaking for the majority of the Liberals of Canada. \u2022\nThe public is utterly unable to join\nIn the sorrow of the wheat \"bulls\"\nwho are being squeezed by falling\nprices occasioned by reports of favorable crop conditions.\nSlackers in Quebec who are busy\nwith anti-conscription riots naturally\ndesire an election during the war.\nThey know thnt they would have\nvotes and that the majority at least,\nIf not all, the gallant boys In France\nwould have none.\nRetail business in the prairie provinces, says Puns Review, is quiet lie-\ncause the farmers are busy on the\nland. Dull business for this reason\nwill return big dividends to the merchants later on, and, more important\nstill, to the people of the Empire who\nneed more foodstuffs.\nLloyd George will be regarded as\ngood authority for the statement thut\nthe German submarine campaign is\ndestined to prove the greatest miscalculation of Germany's whole series of\nmiscalculations. The enemy will find\nthat he cannot starve Great Britain by\nthat method. The demand for ship\ntonnage and for agricultural produce\nIs, however, so great anil will continue to be so great that no part of\nthe Empire should relax Its efforts to\nIncrease its output of foodstuffs and\nnew ships.\nmonths later the old minister met he\nyoung man. \"you look somewhat\nmiserable, my friend,\" said ho. \"Well\n1 might,\" came the answer, \"I thought\nyou told me in the church that I had\ngot .to tho end of all my troubles.\"\n\"Ah, so 1 did,\" said the minister, '\"but\nI did not say which end!\"\nA lawyer was questioning a Scottish\nwitness. \"You affirm that when this\nhappened you were going home to a\nmeal,\" he said. \"Let us be quite certain on this point, because it Is a very\nimportant one. Be good enough to\ntell me what meal lt was you were going home to.\"\n\"You would like tae ken what meal\nI was gangin' name tae?\" asked the\nScot.\n\"Yes, I should like to know,\" replied\nthe lawyer.

The wealth\nof bloom on the apples Is something\nto take note of and that of the pears\nIs a good second. A number of the\ngrowers have gone out after the straw\nberry trade and from all appearances\nso far, ,W*lir likely bring \"home tbe\nbacon.\"\nQuite a noticeable feature of the life\non tho Okanagan fruit farm Is the\nfact that almost without exception.\nevery farmer or fruit grower, ns they\nprefer\u2014for some reason or other\u2014to\nbo called, keeps a cow and a few pigs,\nnot to say anything about hens. Thus\nIt is that there is little or jio talk'\nabout the high cost of living, if the\nprice of flour has jumped, that of bacon and butter has slumped, for the\nsimple reason that each family produces its own supply.\nOne rancher besides going ont extensively after the fruit business, man\nages to keep a herd of between 60 and\n70 head of cattle on a nearby preemp\ntion and thus Is able to have beef cattle for the market. Unlike most farmers, however, this man sells most of\nhis product ns dressed beef on the\nopen market and at a much better price\nthan If feold through the local butch\nThese facts go to show that the Okanagan ranchers have set their faces\ntoward \"independence streot\" and have\nsettled for at least the present any\nhigh cost of living.\nFORT STEELE NOTES.\n(Special to The Dally News.)\nFORT STEELE, B.

C.\nTHE CASE AGAINST AN INCOME TAX.\nIt has boon frequently suggested that\nfollowing the example of Great tfrttaln\nand the United Slates, we should adopt\nan income tax upon al! Incomes beyond sny $1000 or $2000 says Sir\nThomas White, minister of finance,\nThe comparison In this repsact, bow-\nover, of Canada with either of these\ncountries is fallacious. We are not a\ncountry of large accumulated wealth\nand of incomes derived from Investments. Canadian Incomes are mostly\nderived from personal earnings, and\nwhile there aro many exceptions, the\nrule prevails generally throughout tiie\nDominion. So far as I urn aware the\nIncomes of professional and salaried\nclasses 'throughout Cano\/da are not\nmnterlaly increased since the outbreak\nof the war. In the ease of many they\nhave actually declined, This being so\nit does not seem equitable to impose\nupon those tiie burden of an additional\nIncome tax\u2014for they are taxed now\nupon their Incomes by municipalities\nand provinces\u2014at it time when owing\nlo the war the cost of living has so\ngreatly Increased, If such a tax Is lo\nbe imposed, It seems to hu that so far\nas I he grea t major! I y of Cana d ia ns\naro concerned, it might bettor be lev-\nled In time of peace, when tbe cost of\nliving Is again normal, it is further\nto lie pointed out that the maximum\namount which would bo obtained from\nsuch a tax in Canada would In terms\not Dominion finance be comparatively small and that Its administration\n.would require almost a second civil\n\u2022^\u25a0service sufficient In number to cover\novary municipality, rural, and urban,\nthroughout tho Dominion. The cost ol\nlevy and collection of such a tax would\nbe much higher proportionately than In\na geographically small, wealthy, densely populated country like Great Britain\nManufacturers' Independent\nForestry Company\nof Revelstoke.

If, parents generally\nrealize how much they owe for the\nspiritual welfare of their children to\nthe unselfish labors of the men and\nwomen who spend their Sabbath\nafternoons, often with sorely tried\npatience '.and great discouragement, in\nteaching the invaluable lessons of\nscripture. Some ot the teachers may\nnot.be very well equipped, but it Is\nhard to criticize those who give their\nbest without hope, of reward. And\nthere is reason to believe that there\nnre very few who attend n Sunday\nschool class of any kind without learning something of those truths that are\nable to make us wise unto salvation.\nStriking testimony io this fact came\nthe other \"day from the field of war.\nStewart .Lyon, the special correspondent of the Canadian press, was writing about the wuy In which our soldiers\nwho have been mortally wounded face\ndeath. He quoted the words of a\nchaplain who said; \"Many of the men\nhave little knowledge of creeds antl\nFirst Church of\nChrist, Scientist\nCorner Kootenay and Victoria\nStreeta.\nSunday morning service at 11.\nSunday evening service at 7:30.\nWednesday evening meeting at S.\nReading room In church building\nopen from 3 to 6 daily, except Sunday.\nVisitors Cordially Welcome.\nreligious obseiivar-jces but I. have met\nonly one who did not undersiand the\nsignificance of the Cross.

Words\nthat are spoken in love do not melt\nlil^e snow-flakes, Though they may\nseem at the time to be lightly regarded, they are hold In some obscure\ncorner of the mind, and in tbe day of\nfiery trial they are recalled to be a\nstrength and stay.\nAPPEAL FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY\nAttention has been widely called to\nan influeittinlly signed appeal in the\ninterests of Christian unity, representing the sympathy and cooperation of\nmany millions In Great Britain, who,\nat this time of world-crisis, are united\nin the desire for tbe drawing together\nof all those who acknowledge the Tjord\nJesus Christ ns Snviour and Muster.\nThis appeal, endorsed by representative bishops, clergy and laity of every\ndenominutinn in Great Britain, will be\nread in some of the English cathedruls\nand many other places of worship on\nWhitsuntide, May 27, and ft is hoped\nthat, by moans of tho fullest possible\npublicity, still more churches may be\nled to unite In this special effort. It Is\nInaugurated by the World's Evangelical alliance, which, in its circular,\ntruly says that \"there Is in many\nhearts today a hunger for Christian\nunity. The fooling grows that, if Ihe\nchurches cannot draw closer together\nunder tho pressure of our common\nneed, the disgrace of our divisions will\ndeepen into tragedy. Not only Christians, but all who have any sympathy\nwith Christianity, are conscious of\nthe same desire.\" There nre many\ntokens of this approximation towards\nunity, and not a little Christian en-\noperation is already being manifested\nin many societies and movements.

They were\nplncjGd ata ctisOnct.disadvantage, he\nsaid, at the present time because of the\ntariff taxation on farm machinery.\nDr. D. P.

Hel\nwondered how a returned soldier on u\npensipn of $4S0 a year could support a\nfamily at tbe present time. He believed thnt the reason for tho high cost of\ncommodities could lie ascertained by a\nvisit to the cold storage plants. The\npeople* generally believed thnt the men\nwho wero dealing in food wore storing\nit ,up in large quantities in order that\nthey 'might charge higher and higher\nprices to the consumers. There was\nno equitable ratio between the present\nprice 'of Hour nnd wheat. Whenever\nwheal advanced tho millers boosted the\nprice of flour despite tho circumstances that thoy were in possession of\nlargo quantities of' wheat bought at\nlower prices. Something would have\nto be done1 and done immediately, because conditions might bo worse after\nthe war. Then wages would drop but\nthe cost of living \"would remain up for\na-time. Dr. Neely. hnd little faith in\nlegislative enactments to control food\nprices.'\n\"The only real, cure,\" he said, \"lies\nin competition and production.\"\nThe momber for Humboldt said he\nwas less wholehearted in his support\nof tho proposal, to- increase Hritlsh\npreference to 50 per. cent than the other recommendations contained In tbe\namendment. If' the principle of the.\nltritish preference was to bo adopted,\nlie said, this amount of preference\nmight as well be adopted as any other,\nbut it appeared to him to lie rather arbitrary and'artificial.\nDr. Neely suid he wanted it understood tbat.^anythlng lie had said was\nnot in the spirit Sf adverse criticism\nbut simply to bail'attention to certain\nconditions which.ei.b>t and to urge thnt\nuelon be taken upon' 'theni.

That she withstood the self-\nimposed hardships is a source of wonderment to her friends, and the members of the searching parties. Despite her advanced age she was not at\nall fatigued when discovered, and, in\nthe best of spirits, accompanied the\nIndy with whom she Is staying to her\nhome.\nWas Not Fatigued\nThe whereabouts of the aged wopian\nwns discovered by the lady who is acting as her ward when a section of the\nsearching party was returning from\na searching expedition covering a\nwide area.

It was In an\nadvanced state of decomposition and\nhnd probably lain where It was discovered for several months.\nTwo baggage checks to Eholt were\nfound in the clothes, a poll tax receipt\nfrom Butte, and poor tax receipts from\nanother Montana town.\nThe remains were noticed by nn\nextra gang of Chinamen who were\nworking on the trestle. The police\nwere notified and Constable McAlmon\nInvestigated. Ho states that the body\nwas terribly mangled by the fall, two\narms and a leg and the back and neck\nbroken.\nThe supposition is that ll* victim\nof tho accident either fell off a train\npassing over the brldgo or was\nknocked off the trestle.

The\nmen who participated ln tho disgraceful attacks upon Mr. Blondin\nwere the pupils and tho disciples of\ntho leaders who denounced the execution of Kiel, who talked of a French\nrepublic on the banks of the St.\nLawrence, who urged against Canada's\nparticipation in the South African\nwar, who canonized Sir Wilfrid Laurier for his. opposition to imperial\nunity. They nre the men who were\nloudest In opposition to Sir Robert\nBorden's policy of naval defense.

Wo would be\nondongering muuch of what we have\nso dearly bought during the past 33\nmonths If wo failed to prepare for\nsuch a combat. Therefore, the Borden\ngovernment is to bo highly commended for its decision to lose no time ln\ntaking up the question of technical\neducation for our people. We wore\nunprepared for war, and we paid a\nterrible price for our unprcpnredncss;\nlet us not repeat the error by being\ncaught unprepared for tho futuro\nbattles of peace.\nTECHNICAL EDUCATION\nSir George Foster's announcement\nIn parliament that the government\nwill take up the question of technical\neducation in Cauadn, at the earliest,\npracticable moment, Is a decision of\nfirst-rate importance. If the war has\ntaught one lesson more clearly than\nall others, It Is that the nation which is\nlucking in organisation and technical\nskill can make little headway under\nmodern world conditions. It Is only\nthe truth to say that In the past Canada failed to give sufficient thought\nto the question of technical education.\nAbsorbed In our rapid development\nand caught In tbe vortex of temporary\nprosperity, we were content to bo carried along by the tide of expansion,\ni.lll' .ye: fixed Oil Hie g..:il nl' future\nyieutiics-H -iViiii'MH ||eedlnp the yruumlj\nIS CANADA DIFFERENT?\nThe utter abhorrence with which all\nclasses In Britain, irrespective of party\nregard the possibility of an election\nduring the war is strikingly Illustrated\nby the reports in British papers just\nreceived in Canada of the recent debate\non the extension of parliament. In\nintroducing the extension measure, Mr.\nBonar Law gave utterance to words,\nwhich is seems to us, should be given\ntho widest possible publicity in this\ncountry. Ho said:\n\"The considerations which have induced successive governments to introduce such a bill are as strong now\nas they have ever been during the war.\nWo ure now In as critical a phase of\ntho war as we have ever been in. Our\ntroops aro enaged in the greatest operations they have ever undertaken\nsince the commencement of tho war.\nIn these circumstances I annot help\nfeeling that, as on previous occasions,\nthe government and the house believe\nthat it would be highly disudvunta- '\ngoous, not to put lt more strongly, that\nwe should be plunged Into the turmoil\nof a general election, with all the disputes and divisions which such an\nelection would Inevitably produce nnd\nwith, in addition, the certainty that\nthe nation would bo diverted from tbe\none objet on which its efforts should\nbe concentrated.\"\nMr. Law was followed by ex-I'rcmler\nAsqulth, now on the opposition benches\nwho, niter dwelling on the fact that\nthe bulk of the British electors are\nIn the trenches, went on to sny:\n\"Voters fighting In various theaters\nof the war would not be able to record their votes. An election under\nthose conditions would not be an election at nil. It would bo a farco and\na sham and nobody would regard tho\nhouse so chosen as possessing In any\nreal sense the moral authority clthor\nfor legislation or criticism of administration. To take a courso which would\nnecossltnte the holding of an elotlon\nunder such circumstances would bo to\nfly In the face of common law, common\nfairness and common sense.''\nThe powerful reasons urged by tho\ntwo great British leaders against an\nelection in the old land apply with\nequal force to Canada. Indeed, thero\nIs only too much reason to expect that\n\u25a03IEATRL\nGreatest Stars in Greatest\nPlays.\nTODAY\nMatinee at 2:30.
