If these pluc-\n68 which have no fire escapes do not\nhuny up and do .something we should\nget busy. It is not fair to tho e\nwho have escapes that others have\nnot escapes.

There is a new act before the\nlegislature at the present time deal-\nIng With two storied buildings, an\namendment to the Fire Escape Act.\nIt.

Through\nthc night the trouble returned and\nshe succumbed to heart failure about\n6 a.m.\nThe late Mrs. Corley was one of\nthe most b -.hly respected and beloved women of our city. Although\nof a somewhat retiring disposition,\nshe numbered her friends among all\nthose who had come to know her and\nthere is many a one in this town in\nwhom she has taken a truly motherly\ninterest for many yeurs. Her whole\nlife has been a model of patient, per-\nseverence in the face of difficulties,\nwhich would have overwhelmed a\nsoul of less noble attributes.

The\njourney to and irom was made in\nfour cutters. On arriving at the\nplant, the whole system by which our\ncity is lighted was examined with\nthe utmost cure in an endeavor to\nrind the best possible solution for the\nproblem of how to ensure dependable\ntlectric lighting in future. It was\nfound, in brief, that the old plant\nof huge bulk is practically useless,\nthat the auxiliary gas plant installed some seven or eight years ago,\nis incapable of generating more than\nabout one-third of the power the city\nrequires. Its full capacity was demonstrated a week or two ago when\nthe new plant, was out of order. LaBt\nly there is the new plant operated by\nthe new flume from the dam, and\nwhich is capable of producing sufficient electric energy for the present requirements of our city. That is, so\nlong as it is not put out ot order by\nthc mud and dirt which washes thru\nthe flume from the river. Tbe problem which now arise. o# to\nguarantee constant light and power\nfor the city, while depending solely\non one unit.

So\nserious is the problem that the Federal government must act at once.\nIn Canada the depression has not\nbeen felt In any degree compurcd\nwith the United States.

Ross, Mm -\nister of Lands, said today:\n\"I am particularly glad to be asked that question; for while I do not\nbelieve that thc somewhat ..atural\nmisunderstanding of thc policy of\nthis Department with respect to graz\ning ou the public lands is more than\na superficial and a temporary thing\n1 feel that the quickei and more thor\noughly that misunderstanding Is removed the better for thc above solution of this whole grazing problem.\n\"So long as I remain Minister of\nLands of this department its attitude towurdB grazing will be this:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nTo promote in every way possible\nthe legitimate development of the\nstock industry in British Columbia.\nI believe that the administration of\nthe range in this province should be\nbased upon three fundamental principles, which ure these:\u00E2\u0080\u0094First of all to\nprotect those now using the range,\nand those who will later use the\nrange, in the enjoyment of thiB privilege. Second, to build up by govern I\nmental co-operation a stable und sue\ncessful stock industry in thc province\nand third, and that is also fundn -\nmental, to husband and so far as\npracticable to improve the carrying\ncapacity of the range itself.\n\"This does not call, at least It\ndoes not call upon provincial lands,\nfor a multiplicity of departmental\nregulations. It calls for the gradual evolution of a practical plan which\nhears in mind the welfare of the\nrange and the welfare of the stock -\nmen and the wclfnre of the stock in-\n, diiBtry.\n\"There will of course' be no precipitate action in working out or in applying this plan, nor has precip t.ae\naction ever been contemplated.

Tbe\nreport snows thut the British Preferential tariff of New Zealand has prov\neel a great benefit to Canadian manufacturers and exports in the extension of Canadian trade with that Colony, it is only reasonable to expect therefore as a result of thc tariff concessions granted to Canada by\ncertain of the British West India\nColonies that Canada should secure a\nlarge portion ot the vast trade now\ncarried on between the l'nited States\nand the British West India colonics. I\nA study of thc comprehensive tables\naccompanying the report indicates\nthat during the month of October,\n1913, Canada imported from other\nportions of the British Empire goods\nIto the value of $12,327,837.

Home $42,000 of\nthis Canadian money was bandied\nby Mr. Alfred Washington, ndvertis -\ning manager of the Western Newspaper Union, according to bis own testimony before the committee. His ad\nmission brought down upon him the\ndemand from Senator Nelson: \"You\nwere hired by a foreign government\nto do an act of disloyalty to your\nown country. Are you not ashamed\"\nMr. Washington replied, according\nto the dispatches, that he did not\nthink it unpatriotic or dislayal to\ncirculate such matter as that in\nquestion.\nOf course not, agrees the New York\nWorld, which adds that \"if the Lobby Committee has swept the lobbies\nclear of every nuisance, but this it\nmight, as well report and get a new\njob.\"\n\"What in the name of common sense,\" exclaims the New York Telegraph \"h there to be ashamed of?\" Canada, It remarks, \"is not a bad country . . . some day the United\nStat B will annex Canada, and it is\nlot a bad idea to have a few hundred thousand of your own people al\ni. ady in the section.\"\nAnd tbe New York Evening Post\nwonders that Mr. Washington did\nnot live up to bis name by arguing\nthat so far from being disloyal, he\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0WKB iu fad li \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 agent of a process\nf peacaftil penetration which at one\ntime had patriotic Canadians serious\nly worried.\" The episode does bring\nup a line moral issue. The Evening\nPost further reflects: \"Where does\nbusiness cud and patriotism begin?\nIn the business more disloyal than\nthe business of selling war munitions\nto a nation that might, use them\nagainst us? Is it more unpatriotic\nto induce American labor to cmi-\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0late than it is to make American\ncapital emigrate in the face of labor troubles.\"\n86, too, the Socialist New York\nCall remembers that while the departure of Middle Western farmers is cs-\npecially regretted by thc \"capitalist\nand the capitalist politician,\" because they \"take their capital out of\ncountry,\" this \"is the very thre-\nil that Is made by capitalists themselves when their wage-slaves made\ndemands that they considered extor-\ni innate.\"\nTurning to those more concerned\ner the northward movement, we\nid that at the Lobby committee's\nhearings Senator Cummins wanted\nMr. Wm. J, White, the Canadian gov\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 s advertising agent to tell\nf the results accomplished in Iowa.\nee fowan Senator's anxictywas\nly not lessened by this frank\nBent from the Canadian:\n\"We have done a great deal of ad-\nIng In Iowa with good results,\nind I heli ve that een the whole those\n' ' ha to I an ida from Iowa\nbave been benefited.

R.\nPay day on the C.P.R. is an eagerly anticipated event; and each month the company pays out over $(i,000-\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A200 in cheques, distributed over the\ns\ stem.\nHy actual count the cheques reach\na total of 1211,0410, and this number\nwith the growth of the system aud\ntbe consequent need of more men,\never grows.\n\"We do everything in our power to\naccommodate the employees,\" says\nMr. H.K. Stickling, thc treasurer of\ntbe C.P.R. \"There is a great denl of\ntime and work associated with tbe\nmonthly pay day; nnd if we had to\nhave it twice a month, as is the case\nIn certain of tbe states\u00E2\u0080\u0094well, it\nwould mean a lot more trouble, and\ndoubled stall, and considerable more\nexpense. We bave to do it in Ver -\nmont and Maine, which we pass thru\nand which have the bi-monthly payments, and I can tell you it is work.\nIn several of tbe states it is thesame\nbut wherever it is found it is because\nstate legislators pander to tbe so-\ncalled labor vote. Our people have\nnot sought for short term payments;\nand in fact, seeing tbat they know for\na certainty that on a certain date,\nwithout fail they will get their money, they are perfectly Battened to\nhave it once a month. Think of a\njob of sending out twice a month\nl2ii,0H0 cheques. There was some talk\nat Ottawa some years ago of initiating bi-monthly payments; but tbe\nmatter was not pursued.\n\"The single monthly paymentworks\nwell; it is n certain fixed date which\ndoes not vary; there is a fixedness\nwhich u'ives security, and it suits all\nthe people with whom they deal.\nBranch banks will be found all over\nthe system, close to the place of work\nand payment, so tbat there Is no\ntrouble in getting tne cheques cashed\ninywliere.\"\nThe wanes list is constantly increasing on the O.P.R,\n\ decade ago the total number of\nemployees was something like 05,000.\nToday it is over 1211,000 in all grades\nf activity. It mlgnt be said that\nover 500,000 persons are directly interested in, and look forward to the\nmonthly pad day, While, if we consid\n'i ' e allied interests, thc indirect\ni'I tions sustained one way or ano-\ntl . thc commercial and industrial\nimitations of the company outside\nthe regular list of employees, wc get\nover 1,1100,01)1) people more orlces directly concerned in the issuance once\na month, of these seemingly innumerable bits of paper which are so cag\nerly transmuted into bread and butter, lf, however, wc get beyond all\nthose who are more or less directly\ninterested in thc company, and reach\nout to the various activities which\ndepend on the company\u00E2\u0080\u0094each industrial organism witb its own army of\nemployee's; if we consider every allied\nor affected interest, we find that the\nentire population is, remotely, it may\nbe, but, nevertheless, certainly affect\ned in their lives and outlook by tbe\noperations of the C.P.R., and, with\nmeasurable closeness, concerned Ior\nthe pay envelopes.\nThe granting of a new trial to\nLieut. Becker, tbe New York poli.ee\nofficer convicted of the murder of\nRosenthal, tbe gambler, makes it\npractically certain tbat he will never\noccupy a seat in the electric chair.\nThe powerful Influence behind him\nwill see to tbat.\nBuy Your Plumbing\nSupplies Direct From\nUs and Save Money\nWe are the largest plumbing bouj<- In\nnrltlflh Columbia celling direct to the\npublle.

These monies shall be\navailable for the credit commission\nto lend to farmers in respect to per-\ni manent improvements made on their\nland and for other productive measures. .Such loans shall be repayable\nby a mortization over such periods\nI as the commission muy decide and\nI applicants for loans will be investigated as to their personal character\n(and responsibility und thc adaptabil\nity of their funds.\nI\n!

The tac-\n] tics for him, then, would be to do\nI everything to drive or lure thc gov-\n| eminent into another general election\ni without delay, and thus, if possible,\n! head off exposure.\n\"If the late government had resign\n| ed otlice, or could have speedily got\nback to office, the seal it so watch -\nfully kept ou the National Transcon-\nremained on, and the account of the\nfrightful waste, to use no harsher\nterm, which has just been exposed in\nthe report of the Commissioners to\ninvestigate, the cost of constructing\nthe railway up to the time of the\niesignation of that government would\nnot have appeared.\n\"of the monumental scandals that\nstand out in the history of govern -\nments' dealings witb contractors,\nwhere is there another of the magnitude ot this? In its early days the\nPanama Canal was a sink hole of capital and of reputations, but the losses charged to bad business methods\nin connection with thnt failure fell\nvery far short of forty millions of\n| dollars.\"\nTORONTO NEWS.\nIn reference to the National Transcontinental, the \"News\" says:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\" It\nclear that Mr. Fielding did not know\nwhat he was talking about when he\nput forth his original estimate of\nthe expenditure involved. He was\nmerely making a guess in the dark ,\na guess which fell astonishingly wide\nof the mark. The line is costing about four times whut Mr. Fielding\nsaid it would, and we bave to go\nback to the Darien scheme, or to the\nSouth Sea Bubble to find a wilder\nprospectus. In the height of the spec\nillative craze in Walpole's time the\npublic was offered stock iu a company formed with a remunerative object, but \"nobody to know what it\nis.\" That wus almost the position\nof Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his Finance Minister ilwn Lb y launched the\nNational Transcontinental, Railway.\n\"The upshot of all this looseness\nand inefficiency is that the road can\nnever serve the purpose for which it\nwas projected. It cau never give\nsuch economical competition as will\ncheck freight and passenger rates on\nother lines operating to and from\nthe West. The capitalization of the\nroad Is so excessive that it cannot\nyield a reasonable return on the investment and at the same time nflord\nthe farmers and manufacturers of the\nEast and West such an alternative\nas will lower rates on privately owned roads. In short by its bungling\nof a great national project thc Laurier government imposed such a financial burden on the line and upon the\npeople as is likely to postpone for a\ngeneration the effective control and\nregulation of Canadian railway\nrates.\nTHE HALIFAX HERALD.\nIn the course of its leading article\n! on the N.T.R. scandal, the Halifax\n\"Herald\" Uas the following;\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n\"The report of tho investigating\ni Commission exposing and condemn -\nI ing the waste and graft in the con-\nj struction of the National Transcon-\ntinental under Sir Wildrid Laurler's\n| Railway Construction Commission,\nwill not prove any surprise to the\npublic, for the intelligent people of\nthis country had been fully prepared\nby previous exposures to expect such\nrevelations when a complete investigation had been made.\n\"Our readers should not fall to\npursue and ponder thc fullest sum -\nmary ol this report ol the Cummin -\nsion of investigation of a most scandalous system of public administra -\njtion, or unparalleled waste of public\nmoney, of colossal private graft\nmade with the virtual assistance and\nconnivance of the Laurier govern -\nment, and as the natural and not un\nforseen outcome of Laurier's whole\npolitical railway scheme, which was\nfirst, not a reasonable transportation\nscheme, but a mere device to carry\ntbe elections of 11104, and, secondly ,\na device for the enrichment of Laurier party favorites, at the cost of the\ncountry.\"\nVICTORIA COMMENTS.\nA Victoria exchange says:\nNo more amazing report has issued from the press than that which\ntells the Btory of the building of the\nNational Transcontinental Railway\nand the squandering of $40,000,000 In\nthe process. This branch of the\nGrand Trunk Pacific line was built\nby tbe Laurier government. Mr.\nFielding informed the House that the\ntotal cost would not exceed $01,415,-\nUIK). Tbe report of the investigating\ncommittee showed that it had reached the amazing sum of $'234,661,621.\nToday it stands saddled with an interest charge of $5,40U,0OO, or \u00E2\u0080\u00A2'514,-\nSnii per day and the general impres -\nsion is thut the handicap is too\ngreat to carry and that iu conse -\nquence the G.T.P, will refuse to tukc\nthe line. If so, the government will\nhave to operate it and thc country\nwill be saadlcd with another Inter -\ncolonial, which will probably take\nmany years to reach tbe paying\nstage. These are the bare facts.\nWhen one comes down to details, the\nreport is even more amazing. For\ninstance, we read that there was no\nproper system of competition in letting thc contracts. Instead of open\ntenders with unrestricted conditions,\nthey were all so arranged that only\na few favored firms could tender, and\nthey appear to have done so not on\nthe lines of competition but of combination, thus eleven firms secured\nover eight hundred miles of railway\nand re-let it to ion sub-contractors.\nThe original firms cleared an immense profit for doing nothing. The 11\ncontractors secured S8,SO0,000 for\ntransferring their contracts. The firm\nof M.P. DaviB & Co. figured largely\nin this connection and in thc case of\ntwo contracts received the sum of\n$740,000 for simply banding them over. A practice which if not dishonest is certainly open to the gravest\nsuspicion was introduced in the mat\nter of \"classification.\" New terms\nhitherto unknown in engineering prac\ntice were coined to enable contract -\nors to be paid a higher rate than\nthat agreed upon, and to crown all\nthe committee points out that the\nline through New Brunswick should\nbave never been built; it was purely\na concession to political clamor; it\nparallels the Intercolonial; it has no\nbusiness offeriag; \"grass is growing\nalong the permanent way, and the\nties are rotting,\" This is a fine com\nment upon the railway building of\nthe late Administration, That it is\na true one cannot be doubted, for Mr\nGuteliUS, the engineer of the Com -\n1 mission is one of the ablest railway\nengineers in the Dominion and a man\nof unquestioned integrity. He has\nsimply told the truth. What the effect of the report will be no one can\n, say. It will be sufficiently unpalatable to Canadians and one can only\nhope that its effect outside thc limits of the Dominion have already\nbeen discounted by such an acquaintance with tbe methods pursued that\nthe report will not come ns a sur-\n, prise. Incidentally, it is only a mat\nler of justice to remark what an important light this investigation\nthrows on the charges made by Major Hodgins a few yean; ago. The\nmajor suffered because be was unable\nto substantiate them but after reading the report of Mr. Outelius and\nhis associate, there will be a general\nfeeling that bis failure to do so was\n' not besaiisc his chargeB were incor-\nr.ct, but solely because be was not\nin a position to secure the necessary\nevidence. After this expose the resig\nnation Of Major Hodgins and later\non of Mr. Peter Lumiden require no\nfurther explanation.\nB.C.

J.\nH. Turner, Agent-General, which was\nI resented to the Legislature the other day.\nAfter referring to the fact that dur\ning the past year there has been a\nsteady advance in the work of the\ndepartment, owing to the increased\nand more accurate knowledge regarding this province being dissemlnnted\namong the people of the country,\nknowledge appertaining not only to\nthe province's natural resources and\nher industries, but nl*'j to her edu -\ncational facilities, health statistics,\nclimate and general attractions, the '\nAgent-General says:\n\"Thc great interest taken in the\nProvince at the present time is not\nonly by one class of people, but ap-\npiles equally to all grades of society ;\nand leads many to decide upon making our province their future home.\"\nEXHIBITION SUCCESSES.\nThe Agent-General recounts the var\nious successes attained by Provincial ;\nexhibits at tbe different shows held |\nthroughout the United Kingdom,and\nindicates that the effect of these in\narousing additional interest in this\ncountry has been very marked indeed\nHe makes an interesting note regard\ning the visit to London which was\nmade by Mr. W.E. Scott, Deputy Min\nister of Agriculture, and compliments\nthat official upon the excellent work\nbe Was able to accomplish during bis\nbrief stay.\nReferring to the lecture courses\ntbat have been inaugurated, thc Agent-General deals with the agreement\nwhich was made by the government\nw ith a view to having a series of cin\ntmatograph pictures in natural colors taken of the various industries\nand activities of the province.\n\"The operator,\" says the Hon. Mr.\nTurner, \"was one of thc beBt in the\nemploy of the Kiueto Company, a representative of which company ac -\nrompanied Their Majesties the King\nand ejueen on their visit to India.\nThe pictures are pronounced by experts to be some of the best ever\nshown in this country. I have made\narrangements for them to be \"exhibited during the coming spring nad sum\nir.er. by a cinematograph company\nworking in conjunction with the Australian government, and they will be\nshown in towns throughout Great\nBritain and Ireland. It is very certain that these vivid, real life pictures will lead to a still greater appreciation by the people of the Mo -\nthcr Country of the wondi rful natur\nal resources and business activity of\ncur great I'acific province.\"\nThe Agent-General also deals with\nthe proposed Provincial building in\nLondon, and explains the negotiat -\nions so far as they have ulreadygone\nand briefly outlines the general idea\nin regard to design and interior arrangement of the structure.\nREGENT STREET BUILDING.\n\"Some delay occurred in obtaining\npossession of the ground, and in the\ndesign of the building being approved by the government, but the work\nis now well nuclei' way. Tbe original\nbuilding on the site, the Hotel Continental, has nearly all been removed, and actual construction on the\nnew British Columbia block will com\nmence shortly and it is expected to\nbe v f- \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 advanced as to be readv foi\nthe laying ol i n cornerstone by the\nI'rst week in Mi./.
