" VOL. 5, NO. 49.\nPRINCE GEORGE, BRITISH COLUMBIA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1915.\nPrice Five Cents\nSITE PROBLEM\nIS SOLVED ONCE\nWILL SEE CONFLICT TO\nVICTORIOUS CONCLUSION.\nOttawa, August 5.\u00E2\u0080\u0094The Railway Commission has refus-\n! ed the application os the G.T.P. to reconsider Order No.\n22995, directing that company to establish a station between Oak and Ash streets, Prince George, and insists\nupon the company carrying out the existing order.\nThe citizens of Prince George.and the members of the\ncity council are by no means convinced that the information conveyed in the above telegram, received yesterday,\nis the last word on the station location question. It does\nmean, however, that the railway company has been eliminated as a party to the dispute. A telegram has been\nforwarded to the railway commissioners, signed by every\nmember of the aldermanic board, asking that the city of\nPrince George be granted a hearing before the commis-\nI sioners. The order as outlined in the telegram above was\nissued prior to this city's incorporation upon the representations of George J. Hammond, promoter of the subdivisions lying to the west of the city limits. The order\nis mauifestly unfair to the existing city. As Mr. Hammond's representations should now be eliminated in the\nquestion that is one for the city of Prince George alone to\ndecide, it is believed that the railway commissioners will\nsee only justice in granting the request of the city's\nrepresentatives.\nCitizens of Prince George in Service Commemorative of\nFirst Anniversary of War Unanimously Pass Resolution to Prosecute War to Victory.\n\"That on the anniversary of the\ndeclaration of a righteous war, this\nmeeting of the citizens of Prince\nGeorge and district records its inflexible determination to continue\nto a glorious end thc struggle in\nmaintenance of those high ideals of\nliberty and justice which are the\ncommon and sacred cause of the\nAllies.\"\nCity\nAldermen Unanimous\nFor George Street Station.\nThe Rex Theatre was crowded\nto the doors on Wednesday evening when Mayor Gillett, chairman\nof the gathering of Prince George\ncitizens to commemorate the first\nanniversary of the declaration of\nwar, opened the ceremonies.\nHis Worship expressed his satisfaction at the large gathering\nand stated that the war in which\nwe were now engaged was a\nrighteous and just one. He was\nconfident that this district would\ncontinue to do its part in prosecuting the war to a successful\nconclusion.\nThe children's chorus in which\nlever,\" aroused the enthusiasm\nof all present.\nKev. A. C. Justice read suitable\n| passages from the Scriptures and\nRev. H. L. Morrison invoked the\nDivine blessing.\nThe resolution above was moved by Judge Robertson, who, in\na spirited address reviewed the\nincidents leading up to the present war and brought out several\nfacts that were new to the audience. His remarks were receiv\ned with vigorous applause.\nDr. Richardson who was to\nsecond the resolution was called\naway during the progress of the\nmeeting, and Rev. Mr. Morrison\nwas called upon to speak in his\nplace.\nOn a standing vote the resolution was passed unanimously.\nA soprano solo, \"Rock of Ages\"\nwas beautifully rendered by Mrs,\nReed, accompanied by Kerr's\norchestra. \"God Save the King\"\nPRECEDES FALL OF WARSAW\nBerlin, Aug. 5.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Warsaw was taken\nthis morning by (lerman troops, according to official announcement made\nat (lerman army headquarters.\nabout fifty little girls arranged: sung lustily by the entire gather-\nin white and carrying the British ing brought the commemorative\nflag, sang \"The Maple Leaf For-'service to a close.\nV nother chapter in the the\never-recurring depot site matter\noccured at the Monday night's\n\u00C2\u00BBmeeting of the city council when\nj Aid. Ruggies moved a resolution\n; asking the board of railway com-\n! missioners to order the immedi-\nI ate erection of the railway station at the foot of George Street.\nyhe six pldermen all voted in\nfavor of the resolution. Mayor\nGillett recorded his vote against\n'i the proposal.\nAid, Ruggies, the mover of\nthis resolution has recently returned from a trip to Winnipeg\nwhere he went to interview the\nrailway officials on securing a\nportion of block 178. owned by\nthe railway company, for school\npurposes. He told the council\nthat he had become convinced\nthat if the council of Prince\nGeorge continued their fight\nagaint the railway company in\nthe carrying out of their plans\nfor city development \"we would\nall soon have to get out.\" In\nconversation with Morley Donaldson, general manager of the railway company, that gentleman\nhad stated that when the people\nof Prince George wanted anything they were not afraid to ask\nfor it, but when the railway\npeople wanted any consideration\nthey were turned down. The\ncompany officials claimed to be\nable to close out the purchasers\nof city property, who were behind in their payments, on 30\ndays' notice.\nAid. Ruggies, who hai been\nthe first lieutenant of Mayor\n(lillett in the various actions opposing the (leorge Street site,\nconfessed an entire change of\nmind on the subject following\nhis interview with the railway\nofficials. He is now convinced\nthat if Prince George is to grow\ninto the metropolis we all hope\nto see, co-operation with the railway company was the plan to be\nfollowed to attain this end. \"The\nrailway company is all we've got\nat the present,\" said the alderman.\nMayor Gillett was curious to\nlearn the reason of the alderman's\nsudden change of front, and expressed a doubt as to whether\nthe resolution before the council\nwould have any weight. \"Why\nnot have a plebiscite on the matter ?\" asked the mayor.\nAid. Ruggies was in favor of\npassing the resolution now and\ntaking a plebiscite later.\nAid, Eagel, who also had op\nposed the (ieorge Street site,\nsaid he would support the resolution, and hoped it was the last\ntime the question would come before the council.\nA letter was read from G. J.\nHammond, promoter of the Fort\n(ieorge townsites, in which he\nblamed certain people of South\nFort George and Prince George\nfor the non-settlement of the\ndepot location. He could forsee\nawful misfortune in the sale of\ncity bonds, and told of having\nspent a million dollars in advertising his sale of lots in Fort\nGeorge. The letter was filed\nwithout comment.\nMac/line Gun Squad\nComposed of Old-Timers,\nW. F. Cooke, who was promised a machine gun as a donation\nfrom Mr. Charles Millar, is now\nin communication with the militia authorities with the prospect\nof organizing a machine gun\nsquad of twelve men in Prince\nGeorge. Mr. Cooke's idea is to\nhave the squad composed entirely\nof old-timers from here who are\nanxious to \"do their bit\" at the\nfront. Pending word from officials at Vernon, Mr. Cooke is besieged by numbers of prospective\nrecruits.\nSeven More Leave\nFor Training Camp.\nSeven more recruits for the\noverseas forces left here on Tuesday evening last for the Vernon\ntraining camp. They were examined by Dr. Richardson and\nsworn in by Mr. Randall, who is\nreceiving applications almost\ndaily. The following were the\nmembers of the party: A. P.\nMelrose, John Jardine, James\nShannon, John Aitken, 0. G.\nHall, Peter Niven, and Harry\nJackson.\nMr. A. Ogston, who has been\na student in the law office of\nMurphy & Montgomery here for\nthe past two years, left this week\nfor Calgary where he intended\nenlisting with the regiment in\ntraining there.\t\nWalter Lloyl and John Knox,\n\u00E2\u0080\u009Ewo well-known old-timers here,\nleft early this week for the\nSwamp River country, the scene\nof the recent gold strike reported\nfrom Barkerville. They took the\ntrain to Bear River from which\npoint a pack trail leads almost to\nthe point of the recent discovery.\nMining in Cariboo\nIs Very Active.\nHundreds of Prospectors Investigating Old Creeks-Company Dredging.\nVancouver, Aug. 2.- From information lately received from\nCariboo the outlook for that part\nof the province appears to be\neven better than in those days\nwhen the name and fame of Cariboo placed the name British\nColumbia on the map.\nHundreds of prospectors are at\nthe present time looking over the\nold gold fields and in a great\nmany cases with the most satisfactory results. Many claims\nwhich were abandoned in the\nsixties on account of the heavy\nexpense of workirg them in\nthose days, are again being taken\nup. This great revival has been\nmade possible by the building of\nthe Grand Trunk Pacific, which\nhas made a material reduction in\nthe cost of provisions to the\npresent day prospector and miner\nin contrast to the high prices\ncharged the pioneer miners of\nthe sixties.\nReports from Williams, Antler,\nKeithley and other creeks, whose\nproductiveness in 1862 caused the\ngreat rush to this province, bear\nevidence ot a return to the golden\ndays. A company supposed to\nbe the Guggenheims, obtained\ncontrol of all the claims on Williams Creek, and this year began\noperations with two large dredging scows, and have now been\nworking them for some months.\nIn early days it was illegal to\nundermine a miner's cabin, but\nnowadays conditions have chang\ned and cabins and every other\nbuilding, many of which are still\ninhabited, are being removed and\nthe ground beneath them taken\ninto the maws of the huge dredges and worked with splendid results.\nThat the results are gratifying\nmay be easily understood when\nit was common in the olden days\nto obtain great results from contiguous ground. For instance,\nthe Burns Company, on the same\ncreek and quite close to some of\nthe cabins, obtained $140,000\nfrom fifty feet of ground. The\nContinued on page 4.\nA GERMAN \"42\" THAT FAILED TO EXPLODE.\nThe photograph shows how the famous 42-centimetre\nshell compares with the average Frency infantryman. This\nshell fell near Verdun without exploding, and is now on\nexhibition at the Invalid es in Paris. It is 5 feet 7 inches\nhigh, a trifle more than 16 1-2 inches in diameter, and\nweighs upwards of 2000 pounds.\nPetrograd, Aug. B,\u00E2\u0080\u0094An official\nstatement issued from general, staff\nsays that lhe Russians have retired\nfrom the Bloiiie-Nadarzyn line on\nWarsaw.\nWarsaw underwent violent attacks\nfrom the air. On Monday a fleet of\nGerman aeroplanes dropped more than\ntwenty bombs on the city, killing\nseven persons and wounding fourteen.\nTwo of the aircraft were hit by the\nhigh-angle guns, which tired 100 shells\nat the invaders.\nIn the Mitau-Bausk district, the\nGerman forces under General Von\nBuelow nre making the most terrific\nefforts against the Russian line, using\ncavalry forces on a scale hitherto unheard of in warfare.\nAll along the battle front in Poland,\nexcept at the extreme ends, the Germans and Austrians are using enormous numbers of guns to batter their\nwny through the Russian lines. Al a\nsingle point they concentrated 1.10\ncannon, with which they swept the\nRussian trenches with a hurricane of\nshot and shell that could not be withstood. The ammunition resources\nseemed inexhaustible.\nIn the sector of Wyszkow, thirty\nmiles northeast of Warsaw, where the\nAustro-German forces of General Von\nGallwitz were locked with the Russians, the Russians were mure than\nholding their own when artillery reinforcements arrived and the Germans turned the duy with their guns.\nThe critical situation at Riga is increased by the evacuation of the city\nby the non-military elements of the\npopulation, the banks being the last lo\nleave. German cavalry forces are\nscouring the country in such numbers\nthat the Wnrsnw-I'etrograd line al\nways is in danger of being cut.\nAt Kupisch, seventy miles west of\nDvinsk, heavy lighting is in progress,\nwith thc Russians resisting stubbornly, as the breaking of the defence here\nwould mean the early loss of Dvinsk,\nthe most important junction ol' the\nPetrograd-Warsaw railroad.\nCrack Austrian Regiment\nAlmost Wiped Out\nTurin, Aug. 4.\u00E2\u0080\u0094The crack regiment\nof Kaiser Jaegers, or the Emperor's\nOwn Tyrolese Chasseurs, whom Emperor Francis Joseph passed in review\nat Schoenbrunn, July IS, immediately\nbefore their departure for the Austrian front on the Isonzo, were almost\ncompletely wiped out early on the\nmorning of August I, on the Curso\nplateau.\nThe (lower of the imperial army\nfaced the fury uf the guns with magnificent bulldog courage, but they\nwere mowed down almost to the last\nman. Thereupon, the Italians went\nforward in one of their impetuous\ndashes, charging the foe simultaneously on the front and flank, and causing them to (lee in the wildest disorder. Six officers and Ml other prisoners were taken.\nRevolution and Riots\nReported in Portugal\nLisbon, Aug. 1.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Sensational and\nalarming reports are current in thc\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2npital of no less than three separate\nrevolutions in Portugal. Riots and\nassassinations are of daily occurrence.\nPolitical feeling has completely disorganized tiie army and clashes between the royal and the republican\nsupporters and other factions are frequent.\nYesterday a quartermaster from\nthe engineers barracks shot and killed\nthree sergeants of his regiment and\nthen committed suicide. The sergeants\nwere members of a secret society\nknown as the \"White Ants,\" aud bad\ndenounced the quartermaster as belonging to the republican faction\nwhich is accused of conspiring against\nthe present government.\nGermans Have Given Up\nHope cf Roumania's Help\nBerlin, Aug. \u00E2\u0080\u00A2!.\u00E2\u0080\u0094A warning that nothing can be expected from Roumania\nis conveyed to the readers of the\nrages Zeitung in an editorial this\nmorning by Count Ernest Reventlow.\nMis article summarizes the situation\nin the following paragraph:\n\"Those friendly relations with Roumania made sacred by tradition\u00E2\u0080\u0094and,\non the German side, by lirm confidence\u00E2\u0080\u0094can hardly longer be considered as existing.\"\nCount Reventlow points out Rnu-\nmania's refusal lo permit exports of\ngrain or to permit ammunition for\nthe Turks to pass through il.e lerri-\ntory, although Russia was permitted\nto trans-ship munitions to Serviu.\nHe says it has been houed Roumania\nwould fulfil its treaty obligations or\npreserve at leust an upright and well-\nwishing neutrality, but that the contrary came to pass. Roumania's neutrality became \"malevolent,\" he as\neierts, with a tendency to enter Ibe\nconflict on lhe side nl' Germany's one\nmies.\n\"Thc importance of Roumania's aid\nto Cermuny and Turkey hus been\ngreatly lessened, however,\" Count\nReventlow asserts. Before Russia's\nGnliciun defeat, Roumania would\nhave been a military factor in co-operating with tlie Muscovites, he says,\nbut that time is past and her military\nand political value us an opponent of\nGermany is vanishing. The period\nwhen Roumania could be considered\na leading factor in tho development\nof the Balkan slates has gone by, the\narticle declares.\nD. A.

These schools will,\nwe are informed by the trustees\ngive Prince George ample public\nand high school accommodation\nfor the coming year. In addition\n.to these new schools a promise\nhas been obtained from the Department of Education for a\nseparate high school building to\nbe erected here next year,\nThe local Liberal organ has\nrepeatedly sought during the past\nweek to make Dolitical capital out\nof the statement of a city official\nand an opponent of the present\ngovernment, (not a member of\nthe school board and ostensibly\nactinR on his own initiative) that\nhe had succeeded in arranging\nwith the Victoria authorities for\na six-room building in place of\nthe four-room one recommended.\nJust what argument he advanced\nto secure this alleged promise\nwould be highly interesting,\nThe trustees very properly resent this official's intrusion on\ntheir rights, as they are the\nelected representatives of the\npeople on all matters pertaining\nto local school affairs.\nIn awswer to the Herald's inquiry for information as to the\ntrustees' recommendation in the\nmatter, we have received the\nfollowing letter from Mr. A. H.\nMahan, one of the trustees elected in May, Mr. Mahan is now\na resident of Edson, his position\non the local board having been\ntaken by Mr. H. A.

Whether the rate is too\nhigh for the service, the Herald\nconfesses that it has not sufficient technical knowledge or\nability to judge. What we must\nconsider, however, is that we are\nasked to finance an opposition\nservice to an already established\nconcern and to shoulder the inevitable loss resulting from rival\ninstitutions.\nThe second bylaw calls for\n$80,000 to be expended on a water\nand sewage system. Pure water\nand good drainage are prime essentials to the public health and\nare the first requisites of a growing city. Prince George is yet\nin its infant stages is peculiarly\nblessed in the matter of pure\nwater; wells can be sunk in the\ngravel bed underlying any part\nof the city producing the purest\nof water.

C.\"\nShows the Inconsistencies of Moses Cotsworth and Rev.\nA. E. Cooke and Makes Strong Defence of the\nGovernment Land Policy.\nVancouver, July 30.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Heaping with\nridicule the author and thi clerical\nsponsors of \"The Crisis in B. C,'' and\nrepudiating it as a \"venomous piece\nof partizar literature,\" Hon. W. .1\nBowser last night for two and a half\nhours entertained a large audience in\nthe Orpheum theatre. The entire\nhouse, with the exception of the upper\ngallery, was crowded with an audience\nwhich included many ladies. Over a\nhundred prominent Conservatives, including the members of thc legislature\nfor Yale, Ocwdney, Chilliwack, Delta,\nSimilkameen and Kamloops, and the\nConservative candidates and members\nfor Vancouver, occupied seats on the\nplatform and an ovation was tendered\nthe attorney-general both at the opening and the clone of his address.\nIt was in smiting the enemy hip\nand thigh with shafts of ridicule and\nsatire that thc attorney-general most\npleased the great crowd. Mr. Cotsworth, whose mildest description was\nthat of \"a meddlesome old man\" was\nhimself charged by the attorney-general with profiting while in the government service by the very forms\nof landstaking which he condemned\nin his pamphlet. Rev. Mr. Cooke\nwas charged with being a Liberal\nhiding under the gown of a clergyman. Both were accused of being\nactuated by a desire for office in the\nfuture. The demand for a Royal\nCommission was characterized as\npreposterous, Hon. Mr. Bowser pointing out that the real place to settle\nthese matter was at the polls. He\nexpressed his belief that the people,\nwho for twelve years had returned\nthe government to power at the polls,\nwould express a renewal of that con-\n,fidence when the next election was\n'.'ailed.\n\"I must regret the occasion which\nrequires me as a minister of the\ncrown and a member for Vancouver\nto reply to these charges at a time\nwhen the empire is in travail and\nsuffering,\" said Mr. Bowser, after\nMr. F. W. Welsh in a short speech\nhad formally opened the meeting.\n\"Most people would think that men\nin holy orders would be better employed in these times in trying to\nbring peace and goodwill into the\nworld. But the political parson is\nnot the only one to blame. Mr. Macdonald, one of the leaders of the Liberal party, has seen fit to make a\npolitical attack. His idea of a political truce is one that is binding only\non us. He told a meeting here in\nthe city that the most patriotic thing\nto do was to turn the McBride government out. I am not deceived by\nhis offers of a truce and I am here\ntonight to accept the gauntlet thrown\ndown.\"\n\"Land Grabbers.\"\nDealing with the statements set out\nunder the heading of \"Landgrabbers\nand their booty,\" which he said was\namazing language for a Christian\nminister to use, Mr. Bowser said that\nthere had been either an ignorance or\nsuppression of material facts. The\nlands which had been bought back\nfrom thc C.P.R. of the Columbia &\nWestern Railway grant at 40 cents\nper acre were not worthless lands,\nbut had been taxed at 50 cents per\nacre. It had been bought back at\nthe request of miners and settlers\nwhose rights were contested by the\nC.P.R. As part of the bargain the\nC.P.R. had refunded to the government $401,113 guarantees previously\npaid, released the government from\na further guarantee of $.ri0,000, and\ntaken over the Slocan & Kaslo Railway from the C.N.R. and standardized it.\n\"Why do they not mention those\nfacts if they have investigated the\nmatter, and present their facts in a\nnon-partizan spirit?\" asked Mr. Bowser.\nThe figures given in the section devoted to the lands department, he\nsaid, were false and misleading. Only\nthree of the land assessors failed to\nreport lands in their districts available for preemption within twenty\nmiles of a road or railroad, and in\neach case it was due to misapprehension, Thc assessor at B:\rlicrville had\nreported he hud no land within\ntwenty milcs of a railroad, but that\nwas because he had no railroad. He\nhad considerable land, and bad since\nissued 2702 records for preemptions\nfor a total of 520,000 acrcs.\nMr. Bowser declared that instead\nof only 10 per cent, of the agricultural land being left to the province\nthere is still over 50 per cent, belonging to the crown. He produced\nan affidavit of the secretary of Ibe\nagricultural commission characterizing as untrue in every particular the\nstatements which Mr. Cotsworth hud\nmade of the commission.\nCotsworth and the Con.\n\"One of the greatest operators of\nthis system of 'fraudulently acquiring\nlands' is our good friend Moses Cotsworth. I'm going to tell you quite a\nbit about Moses' history as a specula*\ntor with an eye to the main chance,\"\ncontinued Mr. Bowser, and the audience listened with renewed interest.\n\"When we first met Mr. Cotsworth\nhe had been engaged to regrade the\ncivil service, and in so doing he learned a bit about our land laws in this\nprovince. There was then some land\nat Quatsino, and also residing there\na half-time constable named Sorensen, who got $30 a month for serving\nwrits und keeping order when required. Cotsworth heard about this land\nat Quutsino and he at once decided\nhe must go and regrade my $30 a\nmonth constable. In fact he could\nnot do it on one trip. He learned\neach time about a bit more land, and\nhe travelled three or four times at\nthe public expense to Quatsino to regrade my $30 constable, and finished\nup without regrading him at all.\n\"We had a constable named Cox at\nAlberni, who thought that his own\nhorizon might be raised by the re-\ngrading official, and who assisted Mr.\nCotsworth by staking the land for\nhim. That was in 1909. The first\ntime Moses got 389 acres staked for\nhimself, located for him by a constable in the public pay by this fraudulent way at the public expense. But\nthat was not enough. Mr. Cotsworth\ndecided to get some more, and he had\n320 acres staked in the name of his\nwife, Keziah Cotsworth. Then he\ncarried his fraud further by having\nanother 240 acres staked in the name\nof Daisy Edith Cotsworth. Now Moses\nthinks it is a fraud to complete, on\na falling market, the purchases he begun on a rising market. (Laughter).\nBorrowed a Thousand.\n\"That was not all Moses did. He\ngot a loan of a thousand pounds\nfrom a friend in England on the security of this land, which he has\nnever got title to. He soys now that\nhe merely got this land to expose the\nfrauds on the crown. He did this\nwhile he was in the pay of the crown.\nDo you believe that explanation? Why\ndid he keep that secret hidden for\nfive years? Why did he continue to\nmake payments if he merely bought\nthe lands to prove that they were got\nby fraud?\n\"Cotsworth has said there is no\nland left for the pre-emptor. Well,\nthere would not be if Moses had his\nway. There was a clause in the Land\nAct whereby anyone could protest a\npre-emption, so while Moses was in\nQuatsino he heard of a pre-emption\nheld by a man named Waugh, and\nhe had a complaint entered. He wrote\nto the land agent, 'When cancelled\nplease notify me us I wish to enter\nan application to purchase.' (Laughter).\n\"This is thc man who denounces\nthe government for unjust tyranny\nover poor pre-emptors. Cox got suspicious and put in the application in\nthe name of his own wife. (Laughter).\nMoses was hoist with his own petard\nand had to buy the land from Cox.\n\"Another time he objected to a\nyoung man named Guy Gilsted, and\nwanted it purchased in the name of\nDaisy E. Cotsworth. Gilsted was\nupheld, however, and the poor pre-\nemptor kept his land. (Applause).\n\"On another occasion when Moses\nwas out on a regrading trip he spied\nMon men and wrote to the land agent\nthat if Cox did not apply to have it\npurchased in the name of Frank\nWright Cotsworth. But Frank was\ndropped later, and he wanted it in\nthe name of Grace Cotsworth. Nook,\nhowever, was upheld, and is now in\npossession of the property that Cotsworth tried to take from him.\n\"At this stage I would like to quote\nfrom the pamphlet. It is Moses on\nMoses. Moses says, 'Thus the pre\nemptor was tricked and the land thief\ngrew rich.' (Loud laughter,) Thfe\npublic conscience was debauched and\nthe speculator became unable to pay\nhis taxes.\" (Renewed laughter).\nErroneous Statements.\nMany alleged mis-statements or incomplete statements of fact were al\nleged by the attorney-general in the\npamphlet. He said that where Mr.\nCotsworth had made it appear that\n1051 applications for land in the\nname of 117 agents had been made\nin one week he had used a date when\nthe names of two advertising periods\nI covering nine weeks were appearing\nI in the Gazette.\ni \"Of the 1051 applications Mr. Cotsworth did not tell you that over 000\nI were dropped or disallowed, and only\na little over 300 allowed,\" added Mr.\nBowser. \"He did not tell you that\nJames Scott, who is down for 74,000\nacres, applied for 47,000, and did not\nget one acre. He had Robert Cross\ndown for 61,780 acres, but Cross only\ngot 1280 acres allowed him. George\nM. Beitnes, who is down as applying\nfor forty-eight coal leases, dropped\nforty-two of them, and the other six\nwere disallowed. Lloyd, who is down\nfor 26,288 acres, did not proceed with\none of his applications.\n\"Many of those who did speculate\nwould be glad to get their 50 cents\nan acre back and return the land, but\nin the end we will get their 50 cents\nand the land also. It was a speculative age, and we took advantage of it\nby raising the price of land. If we\nhad wanted to stand in with the\nspeculators we would not have raised\nthe price of lands.\nQuoting figures in connection with\nthe land sales, Mr. Bowser said that\nof the 2,274,000 acres wanted in 1913\nby seventeen agents, only 929,000 had\nbeen allowed, and 1,329,000 had not\nbeen proceeded with. The land boom\nhad died out now, and only 45,000\nacres were sold in 1914, but in that\nyear crown grants for 1,300,000 acres\nto pre-emptors had been given. It\nhad been necessary, he added, to\nraise revenue by the sale of a portion\nof the public domain to meet the\nhavy cost of developing the province,\nand the department at Victoria had\nnot been affected by political color.\nAmong the prominent Liberals who\nhad bought British Columbia lands,\nhe continued, was Hon. Edward\nBrown, provincial treasurer in the\nNorris cabinet in Manitoba, who\nbought 68,000 acres, and now wanted\nreturned his $40,000 first payment and\ntaxes. \"The executive council refused\nthe request. We will have both the\n$40,000 and the land, too,\" said Mr.\nBowser. Mr. J. F. Bledsoe of Alberni\nand Stuart Henderson, K.C, were\nprominent Liberals- who had large\nland holdings in the province, he added.\n\"Thc pamphlet says,\" continued the\nspeaker: \"We ask for a thorough investigation hy absolutely reliable and\nhighly trained investigators.' I smell\nCotsworth. (Laughter,) The hand is\nthe hand of Esau, but the voice is the\nvoice of moses. (Renewed laughter).\nThe pamphlet goes on, 'We demand a\nroyal commission.' I smell Cooke.\n(Laughter).
