Indeed at times the meeting assumed a riotous aspect, but it terminated, as it. should, with everyone In good humor. After the reading and approval of the minutes ot thc last regular meet.' ing, secretary Wilson read a > communication Blgncd by Mrs. Hutcheson, Mrs. Proudtoot and Mrs. Corey, extending' an invitation to the officers and members of the League to be present at the meeting to be held Sunday evening under the auspices of the W. (J. T. U. to be addressed by Rev. Dr. Spencer on "British Columbia's Greatest Problem." On motion ol Mr. T. Bryant, seconded by Mayor Nicholson, the â¢ Invitation was accepted. In reply to the question of the secretary with regard to what had been done by the council in the matter' of planting shade trees, Mayor Nicholson, explained that the council was scarcely in a position to undertake adhltional expenses. At thc present time tho school board was making "repeated raids on thc city treasury, and if the school trustees kopt on spending money at tho present rato ho did not know where it was going to end. At the present time the city needed a now city hall. The present building needed many repairs, and he was ashamed to point out tho city hall to visitors in Ladysmith. Mr. Theodoro -Bryant, on behalf of the school board, stated that the trustees had spent a small amount on the school grounds but he believed t6 the advantage of the citizens and the rising generation. Ho contended that every official notification to that effect, and there was no reason" why It offer any suggeseions to the Developi] ment League as regards an exhibit.' Secretary Wilson and some others endorsed the views of Mr. Harrison, but there wero many more who stood by tho motion. Finally, matters coo,ed down enough to permit the president to put the motion, wnicTi was carried by a small majority. Secretary Wilson brought up the present system of denuding forests in British Columbia. Ke believed the Island Development League could incorporate in their plan of campaign a system ot reforestation. The speaker spoke at length on this subject, and Ins line of argument was received wTchout "â one dissenting voice. Thi* League then adjourned, and all expressed themselves as believing that it was one of the most animated, meetings of the year. Nanaimo Will Have a Big Celebration The V. I.

The prizes their opinions with regard to the matter. Indeed some of the aldermen had Intimated that they would be present. He was afraid that it was too late to do anything this year ln tree planting. Mr. Bryant stated that soft maple trees could be successfully planted any time up to July. Secretary Wilsov didn't believe that there should be any objection taken to the improvements ln the school grounds,, and the school board! should be commended for doing now what should havo been done long ago. He confessed that he was disappointed in the stand taken by tbe been extravagant In its requests to city council.. Tbo League had not the -city council, yet it had been completely Ignored. He was under the impression that the council would hove a' big surplus ln the treasury after the recent raids, but most of the money must have been spent otherwise. Ho concfuded by warulng. tho council that whilo the idea of shade trees might have to be abandoned this year, it would como up again next spring. Tho mayor explained that tt was evident tbe aldermen had made an error ln the date. They had no objection to tlio shade tree proposal but they objected to thc cost. Dr. Dier could not see any excuse for several of the aldermen being absent. He had notified them to he present. Certain members ot the council seemed to be opposed to shade tree .planting on general principles, Dr. Dier also reported that the committee on the excursion |o 8e- exhibition bad not been able to gel' attle to the Alaska-Yukon«Paclfio down to business yet. They had seen the members of tho band, but wero unable to learn whether it wns Intended to give an excursion. This brought up the question as to whether lt was advisable to have a Ladysmith exhibit at the exhibition. It was moved and seconded that the secretary communicate with the Provincial Government to learn 11 anything was being done In tho matter of a provincial exhibit! This Boomed a very Innocent resolution but lt brought forth a heated discussion. It was a question tn the minds ot many members as to whether lt would not bo better to communicate with' tho Island Devcl opment league. Mr. V. B. Harrison believed that the local organisation should deal with the Island Development League, nnd advanced noma very strong arguments why this course should he the ono adopted. ' Tho Citizens' League had by Its voto affiliated with the Island Development League, and it was only right to asslBt that organization in the matter ot ad vertislng and developing the Island. Mr. Harrison's contention provok ed a somewhat heated argument, ln which some other members expressed the belief that it would be timo enough to act ln concert with th will he on exhibition in a tew days in one ot thc store windows ol Nanaimo, when all who wish will havo an opportunity ot seeing them. They are ns follows; 100 yards dashâ1st prize, silver cup valued at $2P.OO; 2nd prize, gold chain and locket'valued nt $15.00.; SOU yards Flat Raceâ1st prize, field glasses valued at $15.00; 2nd prize, gold ring valued at $7.50. 120 yards Hurdle Raceâ1st prize, gent's dressing case valued at $12.00; 2nd prize, silver cruet stand valued at $7.50. 440 yards Flat RaceâUt prize, marble clock valued at $15.00; 2nd prize, silver cup vnlued at $8.00.

This is n very serious .atfair, both for the clubs concerned and the offending players, and it is up to the V. I. F. A. to pcnalizetlie offenders as they see. fit Again, 'in the case of Brown, Nanaimo's new addition to thc team, he has only been registered four days, and the constitution distinctly says that a player must be registered seven c.ear days. There is no use naving by-laws If they aro not lived up to, and in the above protests tho Ladysmith Football managementâwin or loseâ had intended lighting thc protests to a finish. Thc protests wcro entered to both the Nanaimo captain and the referee before tbe gamo started and it is the Intention of thc local club to stop any infringement of thc rulcu. The Hcra'd this morning in its onesided report claims that the protest camo as a surprise to Nanaimo and Ladysmith supporters, and It was. only alter tho homo team were defeated that the protest was entered. This is a mistake, as all the Nanaimo club had the strings working and the Ladysmith team waB shut out. Alter a stormy session the committee decided that the Ladysmith team had a "perfect right (â p enter," which they did and Nanaimo were put out of business anc*) L^d> smith played Calgary the final for the Canadian championship.

District Meeting of Methodist Church Local and General News Notes The Victoria district meeting ol the Methodist church which consists of thc appointments on Vancouver Island, was held in Nanaimo on Wednesday and Thursday. Rev. John Robson, R. Al, president of tho British Columbia Conference, presided Tho ministers and delcgutcs from the different fields were in attendance. The reports from tho various charges come under review. Tlie reports showed a marked in- crcaso in almost every department. An intercstind discussion took place in regard to the better working of the district. 11. was thought that an increase in the material stall ot the district was needed as some new places were asking for ministers to be sent. All the reports were tabulated ready tor thc conference to be held next week in New Westminster. Lay dclegntcn were elected ln equal numbers to the -ministers ot the district to attend the conference, thus making tlie representation equal ln ministers and laymen. As this is thc jubilee year ot Methodism tn British Columbia il. is expected to bo n largo and interesting conference. A number ol tho leading men of tbe church trom tho cast will bo, In nttendnnce at tho conference. Thc stationing committee, which haa tho work ot stationing the ministers, will meet on Monday evening at the scat of conference. Tho first list ol stations will bo printed for distribution on Thursday at noon. There was a very enjoyable social in tbe Methodist church on Thursday evening under the auspices ol the Epworth League. A large number were present and a pleasant evening was spent. Mr. Walter Michaels, of Nanaimo, was operated on Thursday for appendicitis. The operation should havu been done months ago and the patient is now. ln a precarious' condition. Mr. Michaels is a brother-ln law ot Mr. George Cassidy.

While lhe. attendance was scarcely commensurate with the importance of the .question before the meeting an exchange ot ideas between the business men of the Island must, lt perpetuated, work to the welfare ot aU, and perhaps accomplish the desired object. The business men of Vancouver Island have permitted many golden opportunities to escape them, and past' experience has taught them that if they are to continue in the race for commercial supremacy they must now take advantage of the wave of prosperity that is sweeping all over the western end of the Dominion. The principle object of the meeting was to secure if possible tho terminus on the Island oi one oi the trans-, continental lines. This was the theme, of the speakers, and it must be confessed that a goodcase was made for tbe Island terminus. While the speakers did not even suggest the fact, yet ft must not be overlooked tbat the place that would derive the most benefit from the terminus would be the point af which it was located. But all the otber towns would participate in the Den- ents.and for^this reason it would be well for ail to cast aside individual ambition to secure the terminus and work persistently with the main object ln view. Col. Prior occupied the chair, an office which his even temperament renders him tapable oi filling to the satisfaction oi all. The speakers were Messrs. Lugrln, Men nf fey, Co- burn, Hodgson, Yates, Bishop, Shallcross, Peterson, Brown, Shepherd, Leiser, Vilson and McLeod. There were present trom Ladysmith, Mayor tftcholaon, John Stewart and George Wilson. ready dono postoffice. in thc vicinity oi thc The committee of St. John's ebttrcit met at thc rectory on Thursday evening and discussed the subject ot a canvass of tho city, ior a new church. Much enthusiasm was manifested and all those present undertook to do their utmost. The progress ot the fund will bo announced Sunday by Sunday. An erroneous Impression seems to have got abroad that a new church Is necessary on account ot tho size ot tho congregation. Such is not thc caso. A new building is necessary because the prosent building Is not a church; lt 'Is necessary because reverence nnd worship should be taught to the young; and because a more attractive service is desirable, and neither of these ends can be attained In tho present edifice. Tho subject ol location Is nt present nn open ques tion, nnd will depend both upon the support which is given lit tho city and tho terms on which a downtown site can be secured, | Vosscls coaling during tho week; Tyee, Commodore, Erin, Owen and Scow, Selkirk, Czar and Scow, Otter, Celtic, Evn, Bermuda, Robert Kerr, Nanooso, Ncwitigton, Clny- bttrii nnd Scows, B. 0.

Klein, recently sentenced to six months In the provincial gnol, shall havo a rehearing of his caso betore the police magistrate, has been one ot tbe leading topics of conversation on the streets this week. Shortly atter Klein reached the provincial gaol, he retained the services of Mr. Geo. A. Morphy, the Victoria barrister. It iB presumed he Informed his lawyer that he had not plead guilty to the charge in the indictment, viz.. that of keeping a gaming house. '. it that he admitted having gambled himself, and that without trial he had been sentenced an . the charge preferred against him. Last Saturday Mr. Morphy arrived in Ladysmith and secured half-a-dozen affidavits to tbe effect that Klein had refused to plead guilty to the charge in the Indictment, but had admitted gambl Ing, and these affidavits were pre seated to the court, and on the strength of them the Chiet Justice granted a rehearing of the case before Police Magistrate Harrison. The Chronicle has no desire to interfere in any way in a case betore the courts, but at the same time reference must be made to the wonderful divergence "ot opinion as to what Klein really did say when ask ed to plead. The police magistrate and others say that he finally ad tnltted that there had been gamb ling on the premises, whilo there are others who seem to be equally certain that Klein persisted in saying that he was not guilty ol keeping a gaming bouse, but that he confessed to gambling. However, this point will in all probability be cleared up in the rehearing ot the case. In the meantime Police Magistrate Harrison and Mayor Nicholson have gono to Victoria, and lt Is generally understood that they will make the next movo ln the case. What line that move will take will develop In the ordinary course ot pro ceedlngs, but there seems to be n disposition on tho part ot those interested to fight the case to thc bit tor end.

Editorial Comment. The coroner's jury in returning an open verdict in the James murder case at "Winnipeg added a rider to the verdict censuring the conduct of tho judges in trial courts tor mnt protecting witucsses from abuse, and thus keeping back many, witnesses and making it hard to get a conviction in homicide cases.' This censure is timely nnd wcll-dcservcd. The lawyer is allowed too much latitude in the cross-examination of witnesses. It is not a situation to be envied by a witness to be compelled to answer the impertinent questions of a brainless lawyer, and to make the cane more aggravating the judges rarely make an effort to protect the witness in these gruelling examinations. The witness Has simply to grin and bear it, or suffer tor contempt ot court. There are clover lawyers and there are dense lawyers in British Columbia. Tbe clever lawyers refrain from taking advantage of the protection ot the court to pry into the business of tbe private citizen; but the cowardly pettifogger never overlooks an opportunity to embarrass and throw suspicion on an opposing witness. In this way the ends ot justice are often defeated, for sell-respecting and law- [ ' abiding men will refrain trom submitting to a cruel inquisition on the part of a lawyer who is lucking in brains and good manners. Some months ago a committee ol business men of Ladysmith interviewed the C. P. R. officials at Vancouver with regard to the Improvement of the transportation arrangements between, I.adysmtth and Vancouver. The president of the Vancouver Board of Trade accompanied tho Ladysmith committee to interview Mr. Marpole and Impressed upon that gentleman the desirability ot i better traffic service, Mr. Marpole promised to give the matter bis Immediate attention nnd discuss tbe problem with Capt. Troup Immediately on the latter gentleman's return from Calitornia. Capt. Troup returned from California two months ago, but so tar Mr. Marpole ha3 not informed tbe- committee what the C. P. II. Co. intends tq do in this matter. It seems to many that a reasonable space of time has now elapsed sinco the return ot Capt. Troup, and that an answer should be forthcoming; otherwise the committee should take early means ot interrogating the C. P. H. officials once more upon this important question. To Ladysmith the matter of traffic connection with the mainland is almost as important as an Island terminus of a transcontinental railway. For some reason not altogether apparent, matters in connection with the building ot the proposed hospital are not proceeding as rapidly as they should, or as thc exigencies of the situation demand. The A. & B, Fund acted promptly in thc work assigned to it, but the other committees appear to be tailing their time about, handing in their reports. There 1b some excuse lor the committee appointed to interview the railroad officials with regard to n. site for tbe hospital. It takes some. time to get an interview with a. railway" official nnd then there are so many different bands through which a request must pass before finally decided, that a> considerable space ot time must necessarily, elapse before a definite report can be rendered. In this connection it might be mentioned that tbe corn- There is considerable hypocrisy in the comments of thc Victoria Times on the subject of Government advertising. The Times must know that nearly every Liberal newspaper in the Dominion of Canada receives a monthly subsidy from Ottawa in thc i'hnpo ol Government advertising, and the Times is Included tn tbe number thus benefitted. The moment a Liberal paper iiwervcs in its devotion to the party this subsidy is withdrawn, and taking the system as a whole it accomplishes the desired object of, keeping life in a party press tbat would otherwise succumb on account of lack ot patronage. When tbe Liberal government withdraws its advertisement of "Synopsis ot Canadian Non Land,, Regulations" from its party press, the Victoria Times may consistently find fault with the Conservative Government of British Columbia for distributing a little advertising among the papers that are giving it support. The meeting ot the Island Development League at Nanaimo Wednesday may not result ln making the Island tbe terminus ot a transcontln. ental railway at. once, but it will have tbe effect ol Impressing the railway people with the idea tha.. the peoplo residing here are thoroughly aroused in the matter ol railway development on the Island, and it may even result ln settling the terminus matter later on. of the sewer rates nnd sewer rent nln imposed, levied and collectible in tho City ol Laiiysinllh: AND WHEHEAS it is proposed to give} the guarantee of the Corporation of tho said City for securing tho moneys borrowed: AND WHEREAS n petition under .tlio provisions of 'the Municipal Clauses.

MEATS and VEGETABLES Ladysmith, B. C. BRITISH COLUMBIA, FISHERIES The salmon flslieries of Northern British Columbia are made use of for the benefit, of less than twenty individual cannery owners, none of whom llvo in the country. They do not give a day's work to a white man, if a Japanese or a Chinese can be' got. They simply work yn the system, that a natural rc3oun;c thai costs the people ot (Janada thousands of dollart) annually to propagate and protect in the way of maintaining: flsh hatcheri.es'and fisheries cruisers belongs to them to do with as they wish. They wish to make money, aifll everything is subordinated to that wiBh. And shame on the Dominion Government, the greed and lack of patriotism 'oi these twenty salmon canneries Is nl- lowed full sway. They are allowed to violate the fisheries regulations at will, They. are allowed to flout public opinion, for public opinion counts for nothing as against the wishes of a few men who have money and whose one desire Is to make more money, Were every patmon cannory in Northern British Coln;i.v bla put out of business until sue'ii n time as the industry would re worked by white residents ol Northern, British Columbia, thsfe would be no loss to the country, liie talk ol building a great fishing Tniin-try at Prince Rupert is tommy rot, as long ns the industry is to he in it n- trol of a job-lot of employers oj Asiatic labor. There will be no great fisheries centres on tho North Coast of British Columbia as there art In Great Britain, lor the good reason that aliens and nonresidents do not build tip centres in the countries which thoy exploit.â Prince Rupert Empire. AN EVENTFUL CAREER. By the death of Nialur p-cni-ral Ralph Arthur Penrhyn Clements, C.B., D.S.O., a stirring chapter In the late Boer war is recalled. Deceased, who was in his 55th year, was the son of Rev. Jacob Clements, sub-dean and canon in residence ol Lincoln cathedral tie served with distinction with the South Wales Borderers, then known as the twenty-fourth regiment ot toot, in the Kaffir war, and also in the (Zulu campaign,being present at the battle ot tllindi, but his more important services were rendered in the South African campaign. On December 24, 1899, when thlngo WG at thc worst, he left r3ue*lf lul for ..111 it i.t ns nit Jor-general commanding the Twelfth brigade, forming part of the sixth division under Lieutenant-gencrat Kelly-Kenny. Almost from the day ot iandinb' al the cape !i? was urttv<*l t engaged. On January IC, a skirmish with the Boers occurred i.t rtlingcrs fontein, whon a patrol of the Australian Infantry and Lancers wcro ambushed not far from Cid. Ppfter's camp. A strong force,was then placed under General Clements' command and a little latjer he shelled the Boers near Colesbcrg, and they replied with their 40-poundcr, kifing the general's orderly with the first shot. Thin was a very critical period of tho war, Lord Roberts was collecting his striking force, and devising that fine NOTICE.

JAMES D. HILL. Ladysmith, 19th April, 1909. piece of strategy with which he relieved Kimberly, drew off the Boers from! Ladysmith, secured the Free State railways, and drovo Crcmje to Paardeberg, In this crlBis, or February 10, 1900, General Clements wbb ongagoU with Dc Wet, and his forces having been considerably weakened, he Bad enough to do to hold his own. It was ot thc utmost con-j sequence that he should keep Do Wet occupied In the south whilo movements of so much moment wero being carried out northwards, Gradually the British force .withdrew towards Arundel, nnd tho Boers, discovering that they had only a skeleton British force before them, pushed on eagerly, and General Clements at tho end of two months was back again at the point whence he had started. Nothing could havo better suited the purposes ol tho commander-in-chief. De Wet had bcon kept busily engaged, and he learnt only too late how Cronjp had needed his help at Paardeberg. All was ovc» on February 28. When the Boers became aware of Lord Roberts' operations and began to retreat. General Clements followed them and kept them employed and, on the day that Cronje surrendered Clements entered| the strong Iloer town ol ColoDberg. j Thence he advanced through the Free' State, Joined General Paget an Ltnd-! Icy, mid their combined (prf.e captur, ed BethlehemâIn spite of De Wet arid j 7000 Boorsâand drove the chiet remaining force in tho Free State to Slaap Krante, where 4000 Boors tin-! der Prinsloo surrendered tp General Hunter. In the rest ol the lpngj drawn out fighting General Clements did good work in Pretoria, Standor-! ton and Heidelberg districts. Gencr-j al Clements' name is connected with: one severe reverse. It was nt Nov-j ltgedacht, in December, 1900. Four' companies of Northumberland' Fnsll-i lers were in position, on top of the Magaiiosbcfg, covering the pam,pl 1000 feet below. The position was! assailed by an overwhelming force ol Boers, and the four companies prne-i tlcally cut to pieces, As.a result thtj; camp was exposed to tho Boer force | which swarmed* down the mountain upon thc camp, and though General! Clements stood firm for somo hours,! ho finally had to retreat to Rletton-! Ice Cream âAT Carter's Store Ice Cream 10o a plate. Sir Andrew FraBer delivered an important address on the political conditions of India boioe thc Canadian club of Toronto thc other cay] His views on this problem were fairly optimistic. He has keen powc'.'j of observation, a sympathetic temperament, an uncompromising sense of justice, a fearless courage and a varied administrative experience ot nearly 40 years. Thus his comments on the Indian situation arc entitled to'no little consideration. Sir Andrew Fraser does not share in alarmist anxiety as to the future of the country, because he knows from personal observation that tbe unrest of the people is not due to disloyalty to the Britisa government. The motives of those who stir it up are selfish and sinister but the masses nre kindly disposed and aye not likely to glvo any serious troupe,' A formidable .difficulty ln the way ot a concerted revolution is the excessive subdivision of the people into compV.etety 'detached groups, 'l'fte provinces are distinct and in each province there are distinct tribes and even. nations Keeping themselves apart from ono another with great caret Within the various creeds as Will as witriiH the va.ious races thero. are distinct and separate divisions having nothing in common. Such an Institution as a "nntionat govern- pient" ia, according to Sir Andrew, will Be Impossible "tor ages to come," The lecturer expressed his approval of thc main features of Lord Mor- lcy's amendments to the constitution of India; representation on the local counclU and one representative appointed to the executive council for the whole country. According to the Globo these changes will tend to settle the unrest, to counteract tho efforts of tho agitators, and to enable the central and local governing bodies to understand better the ideals and aspirations ot the people. !
