The untiring pursuit, the\nclues picked up her*, ana there, the\ningenuity and energy of the pursued\nall formed a story of adventure that\nfiction could not equal.\nWin. R. Fernie, chief of the Kamloops division of Provincial Police,\ndescribed the various articles found\nat the scene of the killing. He identified two shells as those picked i.p\non the spot; oue was a .32 special\nand the other a 30.30. He had\ntried to fit the cartridges into a .32\nspecial and found they both fitted\nbut the .32 special cartridge would\nnot fit a 30.30 rifle. He had made\nenquiry as to .32 special rifles and\nhad found only three located within\na radius of 100 miles north of Clinton in the Cariboo district. He narrated the following of the tracks and\nproduced a blue print showing the\nroute taken. They followed the\ntracks to James' stable. That was\nwhere Neas lost his saddle. They\nfollowed the tracks for two miles\nfrom there when they lost them\nowing to the nature of the ground.\nThey then visited the Indian reserve\nat Canoe Creek, where they put the\nrelatives 0f Spintlum and Paul under\nsurveillance. In consequence of\nwhat Frank Johnny, an Indian on\nthe reserve, told them, they accompanied him to where there were\ntracks two miles from the spot where\nthey interviewed him. This was on\nMay 9th, 1912. They followed these\ntracks across country. There was\nno road. He related bow the tracks\nat times led them through wild horse\ncountry and also through a flock of\n2,000 sheep, which were being herded in this country. Among the incidents he described in the wonderful chase were the finding of the\nblack stallion which had been seen\nat the shooting and the utilizing of\nhim as a pack horse, and the efforts\napparently made by the pursued to\nelude pursuit leading their pursuers\nbackwards and forwards through\nswamps. All the chase was being\nmade through a wild and uninhabited country. In one camp they found\ncaUlks for a \"never-slip\" shoe. Two\nmiles further on they found two deer\nhad been killed and skinned and the\nskins thrown over a trunk. Two\ncartridges were found, one a .32\nspecial, the other a .44 He put\nthem in his saddle bag. On the\n17th day they came upon a camp\nfire still warm, but were thrown off\ntheir search by wild horse tracks.\nThey next day struck another camp\nwhich had the appearance of being\nhastily abandoned. They found a\nlarge cache of provisions, coffee,\nbacon, etc., and also a complete horse\nshoeing outfit, including monkey\nwrench and other articles. Witness\ndescribed the continuance of the\nsearch down to the Cariboo Road\nat the 100-Mile house. A day or\nso later still on the trail they picked\nup an Indian saddle and later they\ncaught a buckskin horse and later\nstill they surrounded a bay horse\nshod with never-slip shoes. They\nalso got a saddle. They travelled\n436 miles between May 4 and May\n24. There were ten Kamloops Indians and tw0 Clinton Indians with\nthem. They were out 4S days altogether.\nJoe Moses knew Paul and Spintlum. He saw them in December\nlast. He was with Major Churchill.\nHe saw the glasses produced. He\ntook Paul and Spintlum in to surrender themselves. They were quite\nwilling to come.\nFrank Johnny said he knew Pau!\nSpintlum. They were both born a'.\nCanoe Creek. He was a distant relative. He knew Moses Paul. He had\nknown him a short time. He saw them\nin May, a year ago, near a dam at\nMay, a year ago, near a dam at\nCanoe.Creek. They were on horseback, both on the same horse. He\nasked them where they weie going.\nThe7 said they were travelling\nthrough the country. They didn't\nknow where they were going. They\nhad rifles on their back. They were\nriding a bay horse. He saw it at\nKamloops and Vernon. He saw Mr.\nFernie next day and took him to\nwhere he saw Spintlum and Paul.\nPhilip Thomas, one of the trackers, corroborated Chief of Police\nFernie as to picking up and following\nI tracks. The shoes produced were\nthe shoes that made the tracks behind the logs. He corroborated as\nto the finding of the saddle and a\nlittle later as to Billy Decker bringing in the buckskin horse. He aUo\ntestified to finding the \"*>ay horre\nI piayeu out and later ;h_ sa__...\nThe trackers would have caught the\n!men at the lake where the cache was\nifcund had the fugitives not known\nthe\" country.\nThe court adjourned till 10 o'clock\ntoday.\nSwimming Against\nths S:r\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDii.7i\nIs Nha trying te do a euoeeMftil\nbusiness without advertising.\nAne It ia net expansive te gain\ndaaireble awbliolty by the us* of\nprliKara' Ink.

Mr.\nKindschub, the inventor, has tried\nnearly all methods advanced for the\npulling of stumps, and claims tbat\nbe has now found tbe most practical\nj thing known to the owner of logged-\noff lands.\nMr. Kindschuh burns his stumps\n; with the aid of a draft flue four feet\n: to six feet long\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe longer the bet-\n; ter, on account of the increased\ndraft. The flue is attached to a\n-/.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDo-inch auger hole, which is bored\non a slant of about 45 degrees\nthrough the highest roots of the\nstump.\ni If possible the auger hole m bored\nso as to come out at the lower end\nbetween two parting roots. A fire\nis built of the auger shavings about\nfour inches below the opening of the\nauger hole, and the flames are drawn\nthj-ough the heart, of the stump by\n.the flue. Mr. Kindchuh claims that\nordinary sized stumps will burn of\"\nclean through by this method in\nthirty-six hours, without any attention, while it sometimes requires u\ni week to burn a stump by the char-\npit method. It is also claimed that\nthis method will burn off the roots\ndeep enough to allow a plow to go\nover them.\nSUMMER SCHEDULE\nBeginning April 1st\nlADNER and WESTHAM ISLAND\nVU Steveaton aad\nS.8. \"NEW DELTA-\nTo Vanconver aad New Westminster.\nWeek Days.\nLeaves Ladner\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD8:30 a.m., 12:30\np.m. and 6:30 p.m.\nLeaves Steveston on arrival of car\nleaving Granville street, Vancouver, station at 8:30 a.m., 12:30\np.m., and 6:30 p.m. New Westminster passengers will take car\nleaving at 8:00 a.m., 12:00 and\n6:00 p.m. for Eburne car, to connect with the boat.\nPoultry Wanted\nBest Prices Paid.\nPACIFIC POULTRY SUPPLY.\nCity Market.

Apart\nfrom these four points, the Premier's\nspeech was mainly confined to a\nresume of thc progress made by the\nprovince anil an enumeration of the\ngovernment's plans to prepare for\nthe expected record influx into the\nprovince after the opening of the\nPanama canal.\nThe announcement that, the Premier was to be the guest of honor attracted a record attendance of members, and although exceptional facilities had been prepared for seating\na much larger crowd than usual the\naccommodation was exhausted early\nand many were turned away. Mr.\n.lames Findlay, the president^ of the\nProgress Club, occupied the chair.\nAt the outset of his address Sir\nRichard paid a tribute to the work\nbeing done by the Progress Club, of\nwhich h? was proud to be a member.\nThe organization was being watched\nfrom abroad and it was recognized\nas a forceful entity, doing a large\npart in tho work of nation-building.\nIt was cultivating a friendlier spirit\nand a feeling of co-operation between Vancouver and its neighbors\nin the lower Fraser Valley.\nIf the province was to attain to the\nmeasure of growth and development\nit would only be by engendering a\ndesire for co-operation. The people\nof Vancouver had no need to be told\nof the endless possibilities of the\nprovince. They were alive to their\n- pportunities and all their local undertakings were marked with a hfgh\nconception of the potentialities not\nonly of the city but of the province.\nFinancial Stringency.\nThe Premier then referred to the\nfinancial stringency and lassitude nf\ntrade. The dispatches in the daily\npress seemed to indicate a wave of\ngeneral depression. He would not\nsubscribe to any statement of the\nkind as far as British Columbia was\nconcerned (cheeTs). It was true\nthat the real estate business was\nquiet and the erection of public\nworks in many municipalities was\nbeing held back, but as far as this\nprovince was concerned there was no\nnerd to become impatient or lose\nheart.\n\"Even in Vancouver,\" he continued, \"there may bo a small element who have 'cold feet' and who\nspread rumors of trade depression.\nAs a rule tbat element bave their\ncarpet bags bandy. They ' move\neasiiv, and 1 do not think the city\nwill be the loser if they sbould go\nnnd not come back. I say to you, do\nnot lose courage. Tbe future of Vancouver cannot be questioned. This\nIs bound to become a great national\ncentre, with a huge population and\na kirtre aggregation of profitable and\nbupv Industries (cheers).\n\"Just a few words on municipal\nfinances.

They have all received a revenue of $2,000,000\ngood stories to give of themselves\nand their development. At present\nmoney is scarce. I am quite satis-\nfled that he did not make any state-\nmen* that would impair the financial\nstanding of the province or the Dominion.\n\"The municipal securities of British Columbia are of high standing.\nIn the past 25 years there has only\nbeen one instance where those\nresponsible for municipal indebtedness defaulted either in good times\nor in bad times. They are always\nequal to the emergency. It may be\nthat the banking interests cannot\nhandle our securities now as quickly\nas they did a few months ago, but\nthis Is a world-wide condition for\nwhich there is no need for discouragement (cheers).\"\nThe Premier then referred to the\ntown-planning movement, which was\nmaking progress in the province. The\ngovernment was in sympathy with\nfrom the timber industry last year.\nSoon the timber industry would have\nto come here for the best timber.\nThe fisheries produced last year\n$15,000,000, as against $5,000,000\nten years ago.\nThe agricultural production last\nyear amounted to $22,000,000 as\ncompared with $7,000,000 ten years\nago. He declared that the agricultural policy was not detrimental to\nsettlement. The population was increasing at the rate of 75,000 per\nannum. The land policy could not\nbe the came as in Alberta because\nthe configuration of the land was\ndifferent. The situation must be\nworked out on different lines.\nPublic Works.\nThe Dominion government would\nspend $6,000,000 in the province this\nyear and the provincial government\nwould spend $8,250,000 for public\nworks of which $5,000,000 are for\nroads and bridges.\nHe advocated the extension of the\nthe movement. There was a pretty | P G E through tbe Peace River\nfair assortment of towns and cities yalley t0 the Alaskan boundary as\nin BrUsh Columbia but we should th bMt meailB of opening up the tar\nI! by legislation , no_th Qf \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD._ provlnce ln whose fu_\nture he bad the fullest confidence,\nA vote of thanks was moved by-\nMr. Maxwell Smith, seconded by Mj-\nassist the I\nnot be satisfied\nthe government could\nmovement'it would not hesitate to\ntake action. He also promised amend\ntake action. He also promised\namendments to the present municipal legislation after the findings and\nrecommendations of the Municipal\ncommission had been received.\nRailway Development.\nHe spoke at some length on the\ngovernment's railway policy. At the\npresent time ;!000 miles of standard-\nRange track were being built which\ninvolved a cost of $100,000,000. All\nof the lines now in cource of construction would materially assist in\nthe expansion of the province.\nEvery one of these roads with the\nexception of the Grand Trunk Pacific would run into Vancouver. When\ncompleted the railway service to the\ncity would be immensely improved.\nThe newcomers included the Kettle\nValley, tbe V. C. & E., the Pacific\nGreat Eastern and the Canadian-,\nNorthern. The Northern Pacific\nwould come here soon. Its officials\nhad been negotiating with the government for the use of the Fraser\nriver bridge.\nThen the Chicjgo.Milwaukee &\nSt. Paul was bound to come here\ntoo. These American roads were\ncompelled to come to this great commercial centre (cheers). He knew\npersonally of their desire to enter\nVancouver. The electric railways\nhad expended $40,000,000 In this\nprovince and was still expanding.\nHe had been informed by Mr. William McNeill that the Western Canada Power Co. would soo-ar-enter the\nfield as a competitor.\nBig Influx Predicted.\nHe predicted that British Columbia would soon be the mecca of\na big trek from all parts of the continent.

C. Hodgson of the\nSouth Vancouver Board of Trade In\neloquent terms proposed the toast of\nthe evening: \"Our Dominion and\nOur Guests,\" which was responded to\nby Mr. .1. D. Taylor, If, P. for New\nWestminster and Mr. H. H. Stevens,\nM. P. for Vancouver.\nExtolling the Dominion as a land\nrich ln natural resources, among the\nleading nations in commerce, the\nbrightest gem in the Empire's\ncrown, Mr. Hodgson spoke of the\nproud privilege it was to be a Canadian, since Canada was part and\nparcel of that greatest of empires,\nGreat Britain, whofee flag ls the\nsymbol of peace and liberty, and he\nexpressed the hope that Canadians\none and all would soon forget their\nparty quarrels and unite to do their\nfull duty to the empire.\nThen he turned to an appreciation\nof the work of the two federal members at Ottawa. But the work was\nJust beginning for North Arm mu-\nrlcIpaPties. Mow it devo-ved upon\nthem to impress upon government\njustness of their claims .or assistance, to demand of the government\nto pay up the back dues. Their\nwork would be not finished until\nthey had made the North Arm one\nof the grandest harbors of the Dominion, the newly appointed commissioner declared amid applause.\nEburne's Destiny.\nMr. Taylor was first to respond to\na toast that was drunk with enthusiasm. After expressing his appreciation of the splendid banquet\ntendered them, he happily expressed\nthe hope that what had been accomplished in the splendid little town\nof Eburne since the early days when\nhe knew it. what progress had been\nmade fully justified them In looking forward to the movement now\ninaugurated as one to result In still\ngreater achievements.\nHe paid tribute to the good work\ndone by the pioneers of tnat section.\nThe mainspring of the movement\nfor this project came, he acknowledged, from Eburne which was\ndestined to become an Important\nport. It was also a source of pleasure to him, he said, that Mr. Stevens was as much interested as he\nwas in the bill.\nBut it had been easy to pass the\nbill through parliament; they were\njust now at the beginning of their\nlabors. It was necessary now to set\nto work to show the government\nthat here was bound to be one of\nthe greatest manufacturing communities on the continent, and that\nhere on the North Arm of the Fraser should be established the real\nport of Greater Vancouver.\nThe Commissioners.\nLeading up to the announcement\nof Mr. Hodgson's nomination on the\nHarbor Commission, Mr. Taylor remarked on how it was one of the\nfirst essentials that the harbor commissioners should have confidence\nof the people and should command\nthe respect of the government. The\njoint councils had taken the first\nstep last night, he said, in nominating one of the pioneers of enterprise\nin the community, a self-made man.\nOne who has done well for himself\nand has earned the respect and confidence of all who know him. He\nwas glad to hear that they had named his old friend Frank Trites. As\nfirst choice for his associate, he had\nto announce Mr. R. C. Hodgson, a\nname received with applause. In\nchoosing these two gentlemen they\nhad, he thought, made a good start,\nand with a third they should have a\nboard of commissioners not to be\noutshown in point of ability by any\ncommission board for Canada's harbors.\nIt was now for them to arm themselves with a talent to lay out a harbor plan that would command the\nattention and support of the government, something clear and definite,\nand then demand of their government that what they hau done for\nMontreal, Quebec, etc., they should\ndo for the North Arm harbor. In\nthe ministers, and especially the\nfinance minister, Hon. T. W. White,\nthey could look for sympathy, especially in the latter, who* had stated\nthat the government wisned to be\nahead of times on the Pacific Coast,\nnot lagging behind as successive government, had done on the Atlantic.\n\"Put it up to your commissioners\nin such a manner that tne government will not be behind, but will be\njustified in making this tne harbor\nof the Pacific,\" Mr. Taylor concluded amid applause.\nPeople Make Places.\nPaying a personal tribute to his\ncolleague, Mr. H. H. Stevens commended to the North Arm communities his advice, as pointing out\nthe only course that would be successful. He fully appreciated, he\nsaid, the value of the Fraser river\nand its sea ports. He was convinced that the great industrial development of the Lower Mainland\nwould be ln the lower Fraser Valley. It had all the natural advantages.\nThere was no reason In the people\nof tho Pacific Coast being afraid to\nlaunch out on manufacturing, There\nwas here 200,000 people to form a\nhomo market. Toronto and Hamilton had become great manufactur\nIng cities because they had a homo\nmarket. Manufacturers have here\na similar market and besides a\ngrowing interior. Mr. Stevens concluded by an appeal for laying well\nand truly the foundations of life on\nthe coast, in this connection urging\nconsideration of what he felt was\nthe greatest problem facing Canada\ntoday\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe Introducing of people of\na proper type.
