Gilbert Stuart's famous portrait of Washington, flan iced on either-side by portraits of President Diaz ' of Mexico and Premier Laurier of Canada, looked down upon the diners, and the principal formal addresses dealt with the United States and her two neighbors on the North American continent. The guests of honor were- .the British ambassador, James Brycei Joseph F, Godoy, Mexican charge d'affaires at' Washington ; Byron E. Walker and Clifford Sifton, both of Canada, and James J. Hill, the railroad builder of the northwest. Calling attention to 'the close connection between the histories of the United States and Canada, J. J. Hill showed the importance of the trade between the two countries, and scored what he called the policy of mutual exclusion. \"What the commercial relation- ought to be,\" he said, \"is indicated by their parallel development and the mingling of their commerce. Without committing any others,here; I do not hesitate to declare my own' opinion. I believe that the most natural, the ixsost rational, the most highly profitable commercial status between Canada and the United States is absolute freedom of trade. Unrestrained commerce \"That ' commerce.^ .must eventually move unrestrained between these two peoples is self-evident. Why not strike- off the shackles now and Jet it move freely, instead of paying the heavy penalty of delay? Protection, has no meaning or effect as applied by either one of these countries against the other. Assumption of .some fixed variation in the wage level is nonsense. Men are free to come and go and New England at this'moment depends for her labor largely upon her French-Canadian population. Wages do vary, just as they vary between New York and Colorado; but their average under similar conditions is the same in the two countries.\" '\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD; Mr. Hill declared that by the middle of this century the consumption of wheat in this country'would'reach 1,300,000,000 bushels, The present production is only one-half that amount. Whatever part of the addition to this country's future food supply came from the wheat fields of the nortir- western country, he argued^ should be alloAved to flow unchecked to the consumer. Letters were read from President Roosevelt, Governor Hughes and Lord Grey, governor general of Canada. we learned'that officials consisting of R. Marpole, ad- visay officer for the. Western division accompanied by H. J. Cam hie, consulting engineer and locating engineer H. E. Carry, were on their, way from Princeton on the through trip from Nicola to Penticton. They had come by rail fiom the Coabt Lj> Spence's Bridge and from there had taken the | Nicola branch to Nicola.' It was about nine o'clock at night and very dark when they reached Hedley, being driven here by N.Houston of Princeton. ' This was the first timo'that the Gazette editor had met Mr: Marpole since the summer, of 1S93 when, we used to .see him quite frequently; and while the ripening power, of time had been at work the years have borne lightly upon him, and he apuears good for a loug spell of work yet in behalf of the great corporation whose interests he has endeavored to advance\" dining many years of faithful service. Mr. Cambie is considerably past the prime of life and is now one of' the -oldest- men in the C. P. R. service. To him a trip .like this must have been rather trying. Mr. Carry on the other hand, like the typical locating engineer, is hard and wiry and good for any amount of knocking about. Their object was given out on the coast to be that of following the route of the survey between Nicola and Penticton, but whether the impossibility of driving over the sky route surveyed last summer, or a preference for the Similkameen brought them this way! they were at all events here, and they looked quite at home. It was unfortunate that they could nob have remained over at Hedley for a day, especially as this was the first time Mr. Marpole had gone over this section of the province. ; \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-.,\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD' The question of plans for connecting Nicola and Midway was one that Mr. Marpole was disposed ^to shy. at and it was not advisable to press him too closely on it.

THAT PIONEER DENIAL. IMPORTANT MINING DEAL Eagle's Nest No. 2 Mineral Claim Has Been Added to the Florence Group This week Thos. Bradshaw pup- chased for hi-- company the Eagle's Nest No. 2 mineral claim from E. D. Boeing to round out the Florence group, upon which important development work will be undertaken during the coming year. Mr. Bradshaw's associate in the Florence group Mr. Geo. M. Gilbert,is in England and arrangements are progressing satisfactorily for interesting English capital in the enterprise. The good opinion held of the Florence group by Mr. Camsell of the Geological Survey, is shared by those who know the property best, and the Eagle's Nest No. 2 claim is in a position to add very materially to the value of the group and brings it 1500 feet nearer town. The Phoenix Pioneer by way of denial of the charge made in the Gazette\" of two -\veeks ago that copies of the Pioneer given out from the post office in Hedley contained the Hindu picture in those to Liberals, the union leaflet in those to union men and no inclosure in those, addressed to Conservatives, indulged in a great deal of unnecessary abuse of this paper and its editor. If the the denial were made in a more straight forward manner without all that verbosity, equivocation and abuse we would feel bound to accept it and look elsewhere than to the Pioneer office for the fault; but as it is, we are unconvinced of the Pioneer's innocence in the matter. What we know about it is that this paper made the charge in perfectly good faith believing its absolute correctness. Since the Pioneer's equivocal denial has appeared we have made further enquiries of the source of our information and are. still quite certain that the facts are practically as stated, and that other copies of the Pioneer, than those specified by its editor in its last issue, were given out from the Hedley post ofYice that week and did contain the enclosures as slated in this paper. Now if the Pioneer is not guilty, then some postmaster between Phoenix and Hedley is guilty, and if the Pioneer would rather have it that way and will say plainly that those inclosures . must have been inserted after the bundle went out of the proprietor's possession, we will accept it: but if he will insist that no copies of the Pioneer were given out from the post office here except those enumerated by hi in, we will accept nothing from hint, for we know better. 'Dr. E. B. Per now, dean of the faculty of Forestry at the University of Toronto, in an address on \"The Truth About Our Timber,\" before the Canadian Club at Toronto the other day, dealt with matters of special interest to the people of this province, which possesses such immense lumber resources. We quote from the report appearing in the Mail and Empire: \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD . Every patriotic citizen should realize the deplorable mismanagement of the most valuable resource, and personally exercise himself to secure im provement, and the first duty is to stop the fires.\" He said that the Eastern forest had in the last hundred years been slowly robbed of its best values, and while the government .had, from the sale of timber, secured a certain amount of revenue which 'had made other taxation unnecessary, the golden goose was now nearly killed, and other sources of revenue would soon have to be found. 'The worst feature of the mismanagement of a valuable property which might have produced forever., was, that after the timber was taken oil' fires were allowed to run through the slash and destroy the young growth \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe hope of the future. Dr. Fernow impressed upon the audience the fact that Canada was not rich in timber. Canada was no doubt a woodland country, fifty per cent of which perhaps was covered with tree growth of some kind, but the area throughout Canada which at any time contained commercial saw timber- was relatively small to the size of the country. It was comprised in two widely separated'regions, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDon the Pacific coast within 75,000 square miles, and on the Atlantic coast, south of. the Height-.of. Land, within 2-10,000 square miles, a total of about 200,000,000 acres. The actual area of merchantable saw timber was not known, but probably did not exceed 50,000,000 acres in British Columbia, or about three hundred billion feet, and a like quantity in the Eastern provinces. The six hundred billion feet thus represented would meet the requirements of the United States for not more than fifteen or twenty years, although it might supply Great Britain's consumption four times as long.

MARTIN BURRELL'S THANKS The following letter from Mr. Burrell, being delayed in transmission, did not reach us in time for last issue. Grand Fo rks, Nov. 14th, 1908 Editor Hedley Gazette Dear Sir: Would you permit me through the columns of your paper to thank the many friends- through your district who gave nre such a splendid support in the recent campaign. I realize that the questions of Japanese immigration and Better Terms were responsible for the strong en- dorsation of the Conservative side, and I also realize that throughout the great fruit growing districts I received much assistance from those who considered that the Horticultural interests of British Columbia had not had sufficient attention in the House of Commons.' The task of defeating a Government candidate in the face of persistent appeals to support those who had control of the national purse, strings was not easy. Itis intensely gratifying, therefore, to find that the majority of the people expressed themselves so strongly for principle as against expediency. It has not been a personal victory but 1 may be pardoned for thanking most deeply the many friends who worked so loyally aud unselfishly for me during the campaign. To the work of the officers and mem hers of the various Conservative. As sociations throughout Yale-Cariboo the results of the 12th are chiefly due, but I also.recognize that in this election I owe not a little to those who despite of party ties gave me then- support. The following sketch in reference to exploration work .done by -Professor Montgomery will be of interest to Gazette readers several of whom met him a few-'years'-ago \"on-\"occasional trips which he. made to Camp McKinney. Prof. Montgomery was at one time state mineralogist for the. state of Utah and professor of geology in the university of Utah.. He was also for a while professor- of .geology in the state university of Dakota and in .both these.states did a. great deal of investigation which added to the knowledge which we have of these ancient mound-builders. He has been connected:y.with Trinity University, Toi onto for the past. ten. or twelve years. The . sketch'.-'of. his, recent investigation, is iis follows!:\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDProf. Henry Montgomery of the University of Toronto, returned'to the city recently from a three months'\" exploration trip in the interests of the. new university museum.. During the trip Prof. Montgomery explored sixteen prehistoric mounds,' three enclosures of house sites and several long earth embankments, principally in the province of Manitoba. That cremation of the dead had been practiced by the prehistoric people was shown by the presence of many crematory heartbs deep down within some of these, imouuds. The typical burial pits containing skeletons irr a sitting position, and along .with them pottery, stone and bone and other implements and ornaments. While most of the mounds are situated in high places, there is a series of lookout mounds upon isolated natural hills of unusual height irr that otherwise level country. These are from thirty to fifty miles distant fronr each other, and their occupants thus by signals were capable of communicating speedily the one with the other and holding control of the entire region for hundred of miles. Pilot mound in southern Manitoba is one of these hills consisting of shale and'glacial clay, and being upwards of a huudred feet high. Orr its summit is an artificial mound, which upon, excavation by Prof.. Montgomery, was found to contain , burial pits, skeletons, weapons and ornaments of considerable interest Beads made from t>vo species of marine shells not. only show intercourse with the southeastern mound-building tribes of the states, but also place these people with those of North Dakota, both as to the material and the designs of the articles made. The presence of native, copper beads, which have been manufactured by means of; their stone tools, showed their connection with the ancient copper-mining people of northern Michigan ; and by the methods of mimufacture they evidence a close relationship with the prehistoric tribes which dwelt in Danota. In all instances there was nothing found to indicate relations or intercourse with the. white people or with the existing Indians, although it is very probable that they hud a remote- relationship with the Indians. Prof. Montgomery has collected many specimens of value and interest to science, which in due time are to be placed in the cases of the. provincial university, In prosecuting this work he has travelled-more than seven hundred miles in an open wagon, and has removed immense quantities of earth and boulders. l>ivine service will be held in the church on Sunday evening next, by Rev. J. Thurburn Conn. It is impossible fop me to answer personally all those who have so kindly written their congratulations, and I trust they will be good enough to let nre tell them in this way that T deeply value their good wishes, and to assure them that if I fail in the performance of my duty as their member it will not be for the want of trying earnestly to do that duty both in the letter and spirit. I am, Sir, Yours very truly, Martin LKu-ucll. ,THJ?

A. MEGRAW, Managing Editor. \"AN OLD THEME J. J. Hill's speech in New York last week in which he came out boldly for. free trade between Canada and the United.. States will re-awaken interest in an old theme. Years ago protection vs. free 'trade was fought out in this country both in the press and from the public platforms; but since the Liberals in Canada have stolen the protection plank from the Conservative trade policy, it has been shelved until now the budding politicans in this country scarcely know what free trade means. But there was a time when politicians both old and young did know, although trade the policy in vogue in the country before the protective tariff of 1879 was drafted, was not free trade, but an attenuated affair of 17 per cent that was, by apology, termed a tariff for revenue and it didn't produce the necessary revenue. The nearest approach to free trade which we have had in Canada was the ten year period of reciprocity with the United States which was established by treaty in 1854 and was abrogated by the United States in 1864 because of a little irritation engendered at the close of the civil war. Since that date Canada has made overtures time and again for the renewal of the reciprocity arrangement but in every case her advances have been met by refusal, and now we have abandoned the role of suppliant on that line. Yet when the national policy was introduced in this country and laid before the electors in the election campaign of 1878, it is a well known fact that even the Conservatives did not advocate protection for its own sake but merely as a means towards an end and that end was the restoration of reciprocal trade relations between Canada and the United States. Under that trade policy introduced by the Conservatives in 1879 Canada's trade has expanded enormously both during the eighteen years of Conservative rule and that under the Liberals as well. Of late years there, has been a growing tendency in certain sections of the United States to favor a restoration of \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD reciprocal, trade, but it is doubtful whether it would meet with as ! ready a response from the Canadian people as formerly. In tlie earlier years of protection in Canada both political parties would have welcomed such a movement ou the part of the United States, but all the while protection as a trade doctrine has, been gaining ground in this country until it has become a part of our fiscal creed, and manufacturers could be counted on to bitterly oppose any change which might render this country a dumping ground for the over-production -of-. United States manufacturers. Possibly from a railway man's point of view free trade between the two countries would be a good thing, and there is no denying the fact that the'maintenance, of a long double line of custom houses seems a barbarous, clumsy aud costly method of collecting revenue, but there is nothing else in sight to take its place except direct taxation, and it would be exceedingly difficult to devise any plan by which the revenue required to carry on the government could be obtained by direct taxation which would distribute the burden.as evenly over all classes of the community or make that burden so little felt ductionisbound to lend impetus j to it. | THE BANK OF The Japencse naval review at Kobe a few days ago which showed 124 fighting- ships in line, offered a very effective object lesson to the rest . of rest world. While this number of fighting machines is in itself something to command serious attention, there goes with it also the absolute assurance that they are in the hands of those who know how to use them.

Now as the laying of j j^nS of Canada a cable costs something over $1000 per mile and tlie distance from Australia to the Pacific coast of Canada is S500 miles, this represents a sum that the people of Canada should think twice about undertaking, especially in view of the fact that wireless telegraph has long since passed the experimental stage and is available at much less cost to do.all the \"work that is done by cables. Across the Atlantic, for instance, the cost of a cable line varies from four million to six million dollars, and wireless by means of stations, on either side; which can be constructed for twenty thousand each or forty thousand dollars all told, will do much quicker work, the comparative speed of working being fourteen to one in favor of wireless. \"Be not the first to take up the new nor yet the last to throw away the old\" is an old and trite saying, and nowaday things grow old very fast especially in the line of machinery and equipment. As soon as any particular machine is superseded by another that will do its work quicker and more economical, the wide-awake operator finds it to his advantage to put that machine on the scrap heap. Wireless has long since passed the experimental stage and is fast bounding into universal use on sea and land, and in view of this fact it is questionable procedure on the part of the government of the day to uselessly sink the people's money on anything .;o andiquated as a submarine cable is soon to become. -.'.\"Companies Act, 1897.\" T HEREBY.
