This was the last battle fought on the island of Great Britain (April IG, 1746), and 11 was also the last attempt oh the part of Ihe Stuart family to recover the throne of Great Britain.

Sweden Forwards Mail to Prisoners Residents in belligerent nations re- i cently wero notified that, mail for prisoners of war can be sent by way of Malmo, Sweden, and money and parcels also can be forwarded at Malmo and sent to its destination. The volume of mail for the prisoners of war in the various countries has been increasing rapidly since the be- glnnlng of the year, especially the mail for Itussian prisoners of war In Germany, which has assumed large proportions. Money orders for the Russian prisoners are redirected to the prisoners in lhe detention camps In Germany. .Many of these money orders' however are returned after some ] time from German- marked "Un-! known," indicating that, the ad-j dreasee probably lias fallen on the.

Well, quite a number of years ago I sent to you for a sample box or Dr. Chase's Ointment for protruding piles, aud, having used the sample and found relief, I sent to a neighboring I own for four boxes, and I am completely cured.

War Destroying Horses Descended from the "great horses" used iu wars when armored knights required animals of weight and power to carry their heavy accoutrements, the Boulonnalse draughter is one of tlie old and valued breeds threatened with extermination by Ihe war in Bur- ope. A_ indicated by its name, the Boulotinalse horse is raised in the district about Boulogne. Including the departments of Nor.l, the Lomme and the Pas de Calais and extending to lhe frontier of Belgium. Henry IV. had such a preference for these horses that as long ago as li.87 he. took measures to improve tae breed and cultivate their speeu, presumably at the trotting gait. Since then Ihey have been crossed wiih tho Flanders horse, or Belgian draughter, and have become a breed of draughters even larger than the I'ercherons and more active. Some of them can, it is said, trot a mile in live minutes or better. pine specimens were to be seen In the towns of f.ille and Tourcoing. which were the scene of desperate fighting after the war broke out, and also among the wharves in Dunkirk and Calais.

WAR GAME OF GERMAN PRINCES THAT BECAME SPORT OF EUROPE COUNT ZEPPELIN'S SINISTER LESSON OF HATRED How Hatr. d of the English lias Permeated the Ruling Classes ol Germany, and how Plans were made for Germanizing Great Britain as well as America A complete model of the city ot London with parks, public building?, cathedral and abbey all represented lu miniature and overhead a tteet or model Zeppelins (nun whicli now and then toy bombs dropped, at the Instigation of two little German princes, who were lints amusing themselves lu a game that lias since become the sport ol' llll Europe Ibe game of war - was the sight iimi graetol the English govornes* who lnul Just arrived at the royal household to take up her duties.

(lei'inany, u crushed uml 00110,1101.11 nation. This niiil other fuels are vividly brought home to us in a remarkable book which bus just been published by Messrs. Chapman and Mull, London, under the title of "Whal 1 Found Out In tlio House of a fierman Prince." It Is from the pen ot a young Englishwoman of good birth, who, through her American connections and the influence of Prince Henry or Prussia, was, In 1809, ottered the post of Eng- lish governess tn two little princes, aged live and six years respectively, sons of a Royal German house. For obvious reasons the author conceals her own name and Identity of her employers, hut her revelations are none the' less clear antl convincing because of that. It was to a palace on the Rhine that she was sent to make the acquaintance of her charges. When she arrived there the little princes were playing in the garden-house, antl the wild shriek tbat, came across the lawn suggested a game of unusual attraction, lt was a strange sight, however, which greeted the eyes of the English governess. Spread nut upon the tloor was a complete model of the city of Loudon; parks, public buildings, cathedral, abbey, all represented in miniature, while over the towers Hosted a fleet, of model Zeppelins, whicli the children were manoeuvring with remarkable skill. "Worse than ever!" cried a man's voice. "Never waste time or material. Now watch again the way 1 do it. 1 am over Westminster Abbey." It was a young Prussian lieutenant who was supervising the sport, and the object was to drop toy bombs upon the principal buildings of tlie British metropolis. Lieutenant von X was somewhat taken aback by the presence of an unexpected spectator, but hastened to assure her that this was merely an innocent war game, presented to the princes by the Inventor, Count Zeppelin. But a few hours' experience proved that the spirit which lay behind lho game was by no means so guileless or inoffensive. .. The children had been taught from the cradle to detest the English as their natural enemies, and the old Scottish housekeeper, who soon made friends with the author, was under no Illusions as to the sinister intent of this warlike sport. Indeed, the young lieutenant had been frankly engaged upon lhe premises to keep a military spirit attrc in the breasts of the children. A visit from the Kaiser soon followed, and to him the Knglish governess was duly presented. He said In his quizzical way: "I hope you are not English enough to be u suffragette, Miss 1" adding: "All these modern Englishwomen are suffragettes. Well, we should show them what wc tliinlt of thorn if they sent a deputation here. But while they confine with a 111 leave, and themselves to their own soli we can bless theni. They are sowing good Bead for us to reap." The Kaiser chatted the governess thut she would write ihe Inevitable hook about Germany. "All thai I ask Is that you stick to the truth," he said.

Alas! that far-seeing Scotswoman died before she coult) witness the fulfilment of her prophecy! Meanwhile, little by little,, the net of intrigue began to close around the exile. She soon learnt that it was prudent to insist rather upon her American than her British origin; for wherever she wont the absorbing hatred of England was the theme of universal conversation. And she saw and heard more than her hosts had bargained for. To the castle of the prince and princess came, besides the Kaiser, many notable Germansï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ the Crown Prince, Count. Zeppelin, General Bernhardi, and others. The English governess saw something of them all and heard more, especially from her sprightly mistress, lhe Princess. A vague feeling that great menï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Including the new Herr Krupp, who married the old Herr Krupp's daughter and took his nameï¿½ï¿½ï¿½did not come antl go l'or nothing, that, some, thing great was being planned, is natural. At Krupp's works she heard whispers of the wonderful "surprise" that was In preparation for their year of jubilee, aiid-curious questions were continually put to her with regard to the English resources and provisions ot war. Count Bernhardi, indeed, when he visited the house, made no secret, even to the children, of the military ambition of his country. From the young lieutenant, whose indiscretion seems to have got the better of him, the governess learned that the German army as well as the navy prayed for "The Day." America, too, eventually, must become Germanized, as Lieutenant von X believed she was already well on the way to be with her growing German population, immense German financial interests, and influential newspapers. The plans for American conquest were already mapped out by the German war office, who never left anything to chance. By the end' of last summer the governess had come to realize that she was in a head centre of German national activity. She wondered If she ought not to communicate such lights as she had gained to her own country. She did write a letter to the British ambassador in Berlin. It was intercepted on tho very eve of war, and she had to fly Germany, which she managed to do. thanks to her perfect knowledge of the lang-, uage and ah old American passport. outlook is Good WHAT GERMANY MUST PAY THE .ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½._ ________ 3 ALLIES IN THE FINAL SETTLEMENT ture of Tells Cattle Breederr Conditions lion.

During the past Orders in Return for Gifts Britain is Deeply Grateful For Giv- Ings of Canadian People Secretary Griffith ot tho high commissioner's office In London stated that the local authorities of Great Britain and Ireland have passed a resolution officially thanking the Canadian government for the magnificent gifts il has made to the old country on behalf of lho Canadian people. Local committees concerned In the distribution of food desire to place on record that these gifts have proved of Incalculable- value, enabling them to meet the demands made upon them in no unstinted fashion. Further orders have been given to Canada by large wholesale houses of London and the provinces. Secretary Griffith says that the aggregate volume of trade placed by Great Britain with Canadian houses is far greater than is generally .inspected. Not only should these orders relieve the temporary stagnation to Canadian industries, but in the event of the goods being up to standard there in every reason to believe a permanent connection will be tli j outcome.

TO INVESTIGATE NICKEL INDUSTRY Ontario Government Has Decided to Appoint Commission to Make | Full Inquiry The Ontario government lias taken action to have made a thorough investigation of the nicked industry in the province, with a view to hav-1 ing all nickel refined at home. Hon. | G. Howard Ferguson, minister of i lands, forests and mines, has an- nounced that in order to ascertain all i the facts and lo acquire a lull knowledge of the situation, it had been decided to appoint a commission to ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ investigate. "If the report of the commission makes clear the practicability of re-, fining nickel in the province the nee-; essary steps will be taken to see that I this is brought about," stated the minister. The commission will have plenary power to exhaust every possible course of information and to make a careful study of every phase of the situation. "Up to the present the government has not been convinced thnt any action preventing the export of nickel would not have the effect of transferring the nickel business, or a substantial .part of it, from Ontario to New Caledonia, Norway or elsewhere," stated tha Hon. lir. Ferguson. "Up to the present there does not appeai'#to have been any known process of refining the Sudbury copper-nickel niatie that would have permitted of the operation being a commercial and economic success in Ontario. "It is in order lo ascertain all the facts that this commission is being appointed."

As soon as the provincial authorities got the authority and mnde an examination we all know what happened. Even " Honest" John Oliver refrained from trying to connect the Attorney-General or the Government with any complicity in the failure, and vou may rest assured that if lie for one moment thought there was anything wrong he would be just the person to jump onto them with both feet. Mr. Brewster handed out some good advice on Tuesday night that Conservatives as well as Liberals would do well to heed, particularly about attending party caucuses. He said '' every man should be rijiilit down to his party's caucuses ard think out questions for himself. This should be done. Whenever a meeting of the party is called all the adherents of the party should attend. It should not be left for a handful to run any party. That's just the trouble in B.C. today. The j,. eat majority were too indolent or too timorous to say or do anything, and some are now kicking because things arc not being run just as they would like to have them run.

Patriotism and Production Eggs rose in price to 30 cents a dozen retail in Victoria last week, and wholesalers are not anxious to dispose of them, preferring to put them in cold storage. With the higher price of poultry feed, and the reduced selling price of eggs as compared with former years, there is a wholesale cutting down of stock, not only in Canada but in the States. This reduction is deplored by all poultry experts, who are adverse to anything of the sort The leading Americau poultry journals prophesy a scarcity of eggs next year, and it would be well for the Comox Valley to look that much ahead, and increase not only the quantity but also the quality of their flocks. The Patriotism and Production campaign has led lo au increase in the prairie wheat acreage of 40 per cent,, and the mixed farming industry should follow suit. Canada still imports eggs. Even the Province of British Columbia imports eggs. In 1913 the Comox Valley was actually importing eggs from California; it amounts to this, that before the end of the year there will be such a demand for poultry and eggs that will surprise the public, especially those who have ceased to raise them. Here are some telling extracts from Domiiou btillettns: B, C. imports 70,000 live sheep from the State of Washington annually. In Alberfa, Manitobn, Saskatchewan and Ontario, in fact throughout Canada as a whole, fanners are not raising pigs in anything like the numbers of former years, and certainly not in the nil nbers expected of Canada in war time. The high cost of feed is bad enough, but the high price of pork will be- worse when the farmer has uo pigs to sell The w*r is affecting the supply of seed, the full effect of which will be felt next year. Farmers are advised to grow tlieir own root seeds this year, also such seeds as rape and vetch, and of course garden seeds, The British Isles are open to take more Canadian produce than ever, especially as the Dominion Government is making everv endeavour to promote Canadian trade throughout the world.

Il is time thut lorn.- things were beginning to be known and one of litem is tlie Immediate necessity of starting some of the Govt, road work which would ease the situation considerably. This does not mean the employing of a lot of teams, but v.ork that could be done by the individuals, so that the money would be distributed among as many people as possible, so those who are destitute could make a few dollars to tide themselves over for the time being. No doubt it would be an easy matter for the Road Superintendent to inaugurate some system of work on the roads, whereby it would not conflict with the work that is contemplated being done by the Uoad Superintendent later in the summer. Take for instance, the straightening out the Anderton road at its junction with the Comox road. The slashing of the road through from r Taylor's to the Little River school. | These, and a host of other ones that could be mentioned that have been cry- | ing to be done for years, anything to give work. Work is what is wanted, and work the Government must supply, or our children will suffer. There is nothing to be gained hy mincing matters. Some families have been carried by the storekeepers for months, and now that they find it impossible to do that any further it means to procure food one must have the cash and without the cash what is one to do. It is absolutely necessary that something lie done. Does it ever dawn on those people who are living on Easy street and drawing their pay every month that there are families in this district who have not the wherewith to buy the necessities of life.

And landwards the castle looks over a lair domain of broad acres where the orchards bloom and flourish and the red beeves wax fat in Lite pastures. A quiet family, a handsome family, a family passing rich ia the world's goods, they are strong and braveï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ a glorious chronicle behind tlietu and no dirking cares ahead. Surely, then, the Ravenspurs'should In; appy and contented beyond most men. Excepting the heat of the wings of the Angel of Death, thai comes to all sooner or later, surely no sorrow dwelt there that the hand of time could fail io soothe. And yet over them hung the shadow of a fear. No Ravenspur had ever slunk away from any danger, however greal, so long as it was tangible; but there wns something here that turned the stoutest heart to water, and caused strong men to start nt their own shadows. Pol' live years now the. curse had lain heavyon tho house of Kavenspur. It had come down upon them without warning; at. llrst in the guise of a series of accidents and misfortunes, until gradually it became evident, that some cunning and remorseless enemy was bent upon exterminating the Ravenspurs root and branch. There had been no warning given, bul. one by one Hie Ravenspurs died mysteriously, horribly, until at. last no more than seven of the family remained. The north country shuddered iu speaking of the Ill-starred family. The story hail found its way into print. Scotland Yard had taken lhe case in hand, hut slill Ihe hapless Raven- spurs died, mysteriously murdered, and even some of tolise who survived liad titles to unfold of marvellous escapes from destruction. The fear grew on them like a haunting madness. From first to last not one single elite however small had tbe murderers left behind. Family archives were ransacked and personal histories explored with a view to finding sntne forgotten enemy who had originated this vengeance. Rut the Ravenspurs had ever been generous and kind, honorable to men and true lo women, and none could lay a linger on the blot. In tho whole history of crime no such weird story had ever been told before. Why should this blow fall after tlie lapse of all these years? What could the mysterious foe hope lo gain by this merciless slaughter? And to struggle against the unseen enemy was in vain. As the maddening terror deepened, tile most extraordinary precautions were taken to baffle the assassin. Eighteen months ago the word had gone oul for the gathering of the family al, the castle. They had eome without followers or retainers of any kind: every servant had been housed oulside tlie caslle at nightfall, aud the grim old fortress had been placed In a stale of siege. They waited upon themselves, they superintended the cooking of Ihelr own food, no strange feet crossed tlio drawbridge, When the portcullis was raised, the most ingenious burglar would bave failed to find entrance, At last the foe was baffled; at last the family was safe. There were no see- ret passages, no means of entry; and here salvation lay. Alas fur I' I hopes: Within the last. year lUld a half three of the family bad perished in Ihe same strange and horrible fashion. There was Richard Ravenspur, a youn. er son of Rupert, the head of the house, with his wife and boy. Richard Ravenspur had been found dead in liis bed, poisoned by some lemonade; his wife had walked into the moat in the darkness: the boy bad fallen from one of the towers Into a stone quadrangle and been instantly killed. Tlie thing was dreadful, inexplicable to a degree. The enemy who was doing this thing was in the midst of ihem. And yet no stranger passed those iron gales: none but Haven- spurs dwelt within the walls. Kye looked into eye and fell again, ashamed that the other should know the suspicion racking each poor distracted, hro.in. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ __2 tlltre. were only seven of them now-seven pallid, hollow cheeked wretches, almost longing fur the death tbey dreaded. There was Rupert Kaveio-pur, the bead of the family, a line, haudsomi, while beaded man, who bad distinguished himself il) llie Ci illicit and Ihe Indian Mutiny. There was I is son Gordon who some day might succeed blm; there was Corlo 'a wile and Ils daughter Vera. Then lliere was Geoffrey RavOUSpur, who had fallen under the scourge two yean before. And also lliere was .Marlon Raven- spur, the orphan daughter ui Charles Ravenspur, anodic. . on who had died iu India ilve years before of cholera.

Olio by oue they were being eni oil' by the malignant destroyer, and ere long the family would be oX- tinei. it seemed Impossible to lighl against the desolation that always Btl'UCll iu lite darkness, and never struck in vain. Rupert Ravenspur looked out from Ihe leads above tlie caslle to die open sea, and from thence to die. trim lawns and flower beds away in the park, where the deer stood knee deep in die bracken. It was a fair aud perfect picture nf a noble English homestead, far enough removed apparently from crime and violence. And yet! A deep sigh burst from the old man's breast; his lips quivered, The shadow of that, awful fear was in his eyes. .Vol that he feared for himself, for the snows of seventy years lay upon his head, and his life's work waa done. It was others he was thinking of. The bright, bars of the setting sun shone ou a young and graceful couple below coming towards tbe nioiit. A tender light tilled old Ravenspnr's eyes. ' Then he started as a gay laugh reached his ears. The sound caught him almost like a blow. Where had he heard a laugh like that before? It seemed strangely out of place. And yet those two were young, and they loved one another. Under happier auspices, Geoffrey Ravenspur would some day come into the wide acres and noble revenues, and take his cousin Vera to wife. ".May God spare them!" Ravenspur cried aloud. "Surely the curse must burn itself out some day, or the truth must come to light. If I conl] only live to know that they were to be happy!" / The words were a fervent prayer. The dying sun that turned the towers and turrets of the castle to a golden glory fell on his whole, quivering face. Jt. lit. up the agony of the strong man with despair upon him. lie turned as a hand lay light as thistledown on his arm. "Amen with all my hear', dear grandfather," a goalie voice murmured. "I could not help hearing what you said." Ravenspur smiled mournfully, lie looked down into a pure young face, gentle and placid, like that of a madonna, and yet full of strength. The dark brown eyes were so clear that the white soul seemed to gleam lie- hind them. There was Hindoo blood in Marion Ravenspur's veins, but she bore no trace of the fact. And, out of the seven surviving members of that ill-fated race, Marion was the most beloved. All relied upon her, all trusted her. In Ihe blackest hour her courage never faltered; she never bowed before the unseen terror. Ravenspur turned upon her almost. fiercely. "We must save Vera and Geoffrey," he said. "They must be preserved. The rest of us are as nothing by comparison. The whole future of our race lies with those two young people. Watch over them, Marion; shield Vera from every harm. I know that she loves you. Swear that you will protect her from every evil!" "There is no occasion to swear anything," Marlon said In her clear, sweet voice. "Dear, don't you know fain ily. Also, It was tile s.ncmil llllt. of each servitor lo laste every dish as It came to table, a strange precaution, but necessary in tho circumstances. For the moment the liinuii.g terror wis forgotten.' Wines re I and white gleamed nnd sparkled Ifl crystal glasses. Rupert. Ravenspur's worn, white face relaxed.

The cloth was drawn in the old fashioned way, a long row of decanters stood before die head of the house and was reflected iu the shining, brown pool of mahogany, nil? i"_ fires danced and glowed from die deep Ingle nooks; from oulside came the, sense of lhe silence. An aged butler stood before Ravenspur with a key on u salver. "I fancy that is all, sir," lie said. Ravenspur rose and made his way along Ihe corridor to the outer doorway. Here he counted the whole of the domestic, staff carefully past. Ihe drawbridge ami then the portcullis was raised. Ravenspur Castle nnd its inhabitants were cut off from the outer world. Nobody could molest them till morning. (To be Continued) Desire to Climb is Natural University Professor Says the Exercise Develops Muscles and Gives the Young Confidence The tendency to climb is a natural instinct and of great value in hading] -the child to practice an activity that is of fundamental importance in pro- j moling the best development of tho [ shoulders, chest, back and thighs, and ; particularly the grtr.t muscles of the back, shoulders ar.d arms that are brought into action more and more as the child essays to climb higher antl into places requiring greater use of the arms, writes Professor George W. Killer, of the University of Wisconsin. The value of Ihis instinct to climb is further shown by the great pleasure of the child in climbing about structures under construction, upon the roofs of buildings, into '.tees, leading later to the climbing of ropes and the use of suspended rings and bars. Certain groups of muscles and ligaments that are essential parls of tho mechanism maintaining the upright position can secure no adequate natural exercise except, through the practice of these climbing movements. . Furthermore, these activities affora the only means whereby courage and confidence may be developed and fear and cowardice be prevented in situations involving unsteady support or elevation above the ground. Those activities, therefore, are of vital importance in laying a sure foundation for the child's later physical and mental and moral efficiency, and they should be encouraged and promoted. They are usually discouraged and prevented. Better the dangei and pain of many broken bones when they a-c easily mended than inefficiency of spine aud heart and lungs that may become a C P. R. Improvements Huge Sums to be Spent by the Company in the West This Year .Mr. Grant Mall, the newly appointed vice president and general manager of western lines of the C.P.R., lias made the following statements regarding the extensive developments undertaken by the company during recent years: "since pins," he said, "die Canadian Pacillc iii the west has taken over for operation 8,088 miles of new lines, These ligitres Include thai portion of the Keltic Valley from Midway lo Merfltt which we will probably opi i'- lite under .ease during llle coming summer. In die same period we have taken over for operation 7.!' miles of second track, and have completely rebuilt the lines belw.cn MacLeod and l.elhbridge and between field anil Hector. Practically every terminal wo have has been rebuilt. Including Vancouver, A new terminal has been built nt Trauscona, ami n double track eul off constructed around llle city of Winnipeg. We have bull I very large high level bridges nl Lethbridge and Edmonton, and have built new passenger stations nl many points, notably Fort William, Roglna, Calgary, Edmonton, Banff, Lake Louise and Vancouver, The Ogden shops have been hulll and new hotels constructed al Calgary ami Balfour, nnd extensive additions made at Banff, Lake Louise, Winnipeg and Vancouver, Tin's brief survey of work | done does not include extensive Improvements to the track anl roadbed, but will sufficiently demonstrate die fact lhat the past seven years have been busy ones. "It would hardly be expected," con- tinned Mr. Hull, "thai, the work of construction and reconstruction would continue at such a breathless pace and the quieter business conditions will be reflected this year in our programme. "It is the intention to push ahead vigorously the work on the Rogers' Pass tunnel, the magnitude of which work is probably not fully grasped by many people. The task of piercing the Selkirks is one of the most for-! mldable we ever tackled, but is progressing most favorably. "Its progress is lieing watched with Interest by engineers all over the world as special problems have been mel. and, we believe, satisfactorily solved. "The extensions to Winnipeg ita- lion will also be pushed vigorously and the general scheme will now begin to unfold itself day by day to ihe patrons of die company, as the work pro- grosses, "It is our intention to spend, a considerable sum on betterments on operated lines, notably in the way of building stockyards at small centres. Thn we are doing with a view to the encouragement of mixed farming and stock raising, in which wc are greatly interested. "We are not. pressing this year lhe construction of new lines or double tracking (outside of the Rogers' Pass tunnel, which is a part of our general scheme of double tracking), but if crop-prospects .and other business conditions appear favorable early in the summe/, lliere may he some revision of our estimates in connection witli such work."

N.XU. 1042 Human Nature Is Prong to Ignore Essential Truths Fresh air is always better than air which is not fresh. The best winter air is outdoors.' The best night air is the air which is most nearly as nature made it. Cold, clean air is better than warm air, which is not so pure, always provided that there shall be sttt- ticient clothing and food to maintain the heat antl strength of the body.

It is stated by careful observers that the French troops in the highlands of Lorraine and Alsace, living out in the snow and sharp, cold midwinter, have gained, on the average, live pounds apiece since their hard life in the trenches began, and they arc pictured as ruddy and sturdy in the highest degree.

It is that against Russia and France, Germany believed she had a fighting chance, but that against Russia and France 'and Great Britain she Knows she has none. Our navy, our Incomparable resources in men and wealth, have turned the scales against her and made her task impossible and hep failure certain, That is why Germany hales us beyond any of the Allies, and with a quite, peculiar ferocity. We do not reciproc te it, and therefore it comes all the easier for as to grin and bear it. There is hardly a trace ef hostility in the sentiment of the British people toward the Germans. There is, on the other hand, a strong and just ..ntagonism against the German war caste and its spirit and its leaders.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Sydney Brooks In the Independent.

You are breathless after slight exertion. You feel worn out and depressed all day. You have no desire for food and often cannot digest what little you do take. Headaches,, backaches and sideaches make life miserable. If you sleep at night you do not feel refreshed in the morning and are utterly unfit for the day's duties.

He was brief at all events and did not put his foot inlo his mouth, lie thought farmers were Mow until he came to Coinox. This was no time for partv politics. Tlie Goy- erumeul had bei n dissolved and an election called without reason. The present ad ministration was not a Conservative government, but exploiters. They had totally ignored the Conservative platform as laid dow n by convention. Instead of the government owning U.c railwa thï¿½ï¿½ railways owned the government, and the railway deui, nds svas the cause of the dissolution. The line from Vancouver to Vellowhead pass had cost $07,000 per mile, which was twice its a- tusl cost, If the C P,R. was not working above 15 per cbnt. of of its caj acity how could this line pay? There was not too acres of cleared land between Prince Rupert and Fort George, and no merchantable tint! er. He said the government must settle this laud. He also referred to the fact that 5,800,000 acres of laud had been soid and some ot it not paid for yet. He wotil.l make it impossible for speculators to buy laud. He said the road work had been run for the benefit of the party and that just as soon as the date of election was announced the road work would be going full force, He deplored the fact that the civil service pay roll had increased from 140,000 in 1903 to 1,740,000 this year but gave no reasons, The Royal Agricultural Commission also came iu for a share of abuse, but at this junction he said he was like Horatio defending the bridge. He was just holding on till Mr. Brewster came. lie then went on to tell us that 1)0 money for roads and bridges c itues out of the revenue ol B. C, ll is all borrowed. We havï¿½ï¿½ been living on borrowed money, aud times would get worse with the producers, If the Agricultural Credits Act wasn't so serious it would be ridiculous, The Attorney-General had done all the talking for the Government for years, Wasn't he the whole show? He! said the Agricultural Bill was the same as tlie Liberals had been fighting for for years, the principle was good but it should be taken out of po itics, and given to an in-1 I dependant commission to handle. In referring to the trouble at the, mines he deplored the fact that $190' 'ooohad been paid for special constables and $28,000 to prosecuting attorneys. He also wanted a white B. C. Mr. H. C. Brewster asked the boys at the back to come up and fill up the front seats. He apolo-1 gized for not coining here last fall;' 'aying he got tripped up on specu-: lator'a stakes around Fort George. He wasn't here to stir up party' feJings. He had no qnarrel with any man about his politics. It was a bad thing to have no opposition. A government couldn't be healthy without one. Said he wouldn't indulge in any oratorial fireworks. I Sir Richard McBride said the gov-, ernment appealed to the electors on their records. He said f at in 1903 there was a veiy small debt! but that it had accumulated rapidly. The Conservative platform of 1903 was one which the Liberals could readily subscribe to. It took twelve yeats to get the Agricultural Bill through. All coal lauds and a lot of other laud had been alienated, Half of the gross revenue will have to go to pay the interest charges. A few years ago prosperity was so rampant that politics were forgotten, speculation did not produce anything. There will be no prosperity in B G. until the laud is cleared up and made to produce something. Tbe circle of trade goes round from product ion, you must create production for prosperity, He compared the the Govt, to a young man who inherited a large estate who, instead of working it. but who sold off valuable corners, and didn't take the trouble to collect interest on the principal. Why shouldn't the speculator be protected? Had the land beeu given to _ie laborer he would not have been in the bread line today. He said that the farms in Alberni and Cowichan had been cut up and sold to speculator*, then production stopped.' The 50,000 people who had been placed on the land instead of producing, were working on the Government roads. He said that the Liberal party says that the workman who is injured has a right to demand workman's I compensation without litigation. He instanced cases of where the lawyers fees had more than eaten up the compensation. The Liberals were also pledged to give women the vote, The Liberal agitation had for years been in vain The Agricultural Credits Act was a direct result, but the Conesrvatives would not administer it right. He saitl the Liberals could give a good Government if elected.

A war tax of one cent bas been imposed on each letter and postcard mailed in Canada for delivery in Canada, the United States or Mexico, and on each letter mailed in Canada for delivery in the United Kingdom and British possessions generally, and wherever the two cent rate applies, to become effective on and from the 15th of April. 1915 This War Tax is to be prepaid by the senders by means of a War Stamp far sale by Postmasters and other stamp vendors, Wherever possible, stamps on which the word "War Tax" has been printed should be used for prepayment of the War Tax, but should ordinary stamps be used for this purpose they will be accepted. This War Stamp, or additional stamp for war, should be affixed to the upper right hand portion of the address side of the envelope or post card, close to the regular postage so that it may be readily cancelled at the same time as the postage. In the event of failure on the part of the sender through oversight or negligence to prepay the war tax on each letter or postcard above specified, such a letter or post card will be sent immediately to the nearest Branch Dead Letter Office. It is essential that postage on all classes of mail matter should be prepaid by means of ordinary postage stamps.
