DEC 4-1907 ?IA, ONEER NEWS. -O VOL. 1. ALBERNI, B. C, NOV. 30. 1907. NO. 16. NEWS GENERAL AND PERSONAL Walter Grieve, of Laggan, arrived last night on a visit to his parents. A business meeting of the Alberni Athletic and Social club will be held in Brand's hall this evening at 7:30. Miss Ivy Dawson, of Beaver Creek, who has been attending school in Nanaimo, returned home last evening. Albert Raymond, brother of Mrs. W. R. H. Prescott, arrived in town last night and will spend a short holiday here. H. G. Leslie, topographer of the C. P. R. location party, who has been on a trip to Vancouver, returned last night. The Alberni Athletic club will hold an informal entertainment tonight. A couple of boxing bouts will be on the programme. Non-members will be admitted for a small fee, payable at the door. 4 Clarke's Red Humber car is in town, anc will leave for Nanaimo again on Monday. All other cars seem to be out of commission for the present, but Clarke has no idea of tying up as long as there is any travel in sight. He has certainly made a splendid showing on the road between here and Nanaimo, going and coming in all sorts of weather, in daylight or in black darkness, and never a mishap. W. E. Knapp Injured. W. E. Knapp, general manager of the Red Cliff Lumber company, who left here last week for Duluth, is in the Jubilee hospital at Victoria with a bullet wound in his leg. Up to latest reports Mr. Knapp was not in a condition to explain how he recieved the wound and the shooting is a mystery. It is thought by the police that it was an accident. It was about 8:35 on Wednesday evening when a couple of people in the barroom of the Willows hotel heard cries for help, and rushing out they found Mr. Knapp lying on the road with blood oozing from a wound in his leg. A few feet from him a loaded revolver, with one chamber empty, was found. The injured man was taken to the hospital and attended by Dr. Herman Robertson. Delirium followed his arrival at the hospital, and he was unable to give a coherent account of the shooting. Basketball Accident. During a basketball practice in the Athletic hall on Thursday night a peculiar accident occurred. George Hyne and Alex Wood were scrambling for the ball and Mr. Hyne, who had been stooping to the floor, was rising as Mr. Wood was going down. They collided' Mr. Wood's teeth striking Mr. Hyne on the head and causing a nasty scalp wound. The impact also caused the displacement of three of Mr. Wood's teeth. FINDS SKELETON OF A LONG LOST MAN F. Muller Makes Discovery in Woods near Sproat Lake that Clears up Mystery of Disappearance of Peculiar Man About Eight Years Ago—Bones Buried. Dance Next Week The Alberni Athletic and Social club will give a formal opening dance some day next week. The bones and some of the effects of John Feurst. who disappeared about eight years ago, were found last week by F. Muller in the woods about half a mile from the shore of Sproat lake. Mr. Muller was staking timber when he came upon an old pair of rubber boots and, on stopping to examine them, he saw a human skeleton, partly imbedded in the earth, and with grass and sprigs growing up through the frame work of bones. About the skeleton were rotted remnants of a suit of clothes, a rusty watch, match box, scissors, tooth brush and two knives. The discovery was reported on Tuesday to Chief Nonstable Cox who w«nt out the next day to inspect it. With what information he had he easily identified the various articles as the property of John Feurst whom he had once known to be a resident of Alberni. Deceased was about forty-five years of age and a native of Germany. He came to Alberni about nine years ago and for some time worked for George Smith, C. E., on surveys. He had a noticeably peculiar manner, and to men who knew him well he often talked about the cruelty of womankind and how he had been a victim of it. His experience had been such as to make him long for a world in which the fair sex would not be permitted to form a part. He feared that some he had known in other parts would follow him to Alberni and lure him into marriage just for the purpose of getting his money away from him and having a laugh at him. He felt that he was not possessed of the necessary power of resistance, and that once he was cornered by a feminine charmer he might quietly submit himself to being led straightway to the altar. While engaged in survey work Feurst came across a spot on the shores of Sproat Lake where he decided to settle, and he tuok up a homestead. The fact that the ground he staked was covered by water for six months in the year enhanced its value in his eyes. No women, he thought would follow him there. Being asked by a friend how he expected to live on unproductive land he said he would make a living shooting wolves and collecting the bounty. In spite of the fact that Feurst believed himself to be much sought after by the ladies he was not by any means what could be called a handsome man. He had heavy eyebrows and a Jewely Store Opened. CLOCKS, WATCH AND JEWELRY REPAIRING. Opposite the Arlington JOHNSTON ST. J. H. HOWARTH whisker that almost grew over his nose and into his eyes. On account of his appearance and his choice of residence someone had named him the Sproat Lake bear. The isolation which Fuerst chose for himself was too much for an already weakened mind, and it was not long till, in his imagination, he could hear women calling to him, and singing to him, from across the lake. He decided to move farther away and, embarking in his canoe, he paddled to a point about eight miles from Smith's landing where he went ashore. It is supposed that in his search for a more remote and secluded spot he became exhausted or in some way injured himself. A couple of months later his canoe was found where he had left it, but a diligent search failed to reveal any sign of his whereabouts. ■ Whither he had gone or what had happened to him was a matter of mystery till Mr. Muller made the discovery last week and identification was clearly established. The bones were buried where they were found. The watch, match box, ! scissors, knives and toothbrush have ! been placed among the unclaimed goods at police headquarters. .LAND ACT.

A potlatch was begun on the Sechart reserve yesterday, and there promises to be something doing every day and night till the end of next week. The celebration is in honor of the Ucluclet indians who, to the number of 160, came up the canal in canoes and small boats, and passed on up the river on Tuesday. Jimmy Santo, of the Secharts, is the chief entertainer, and he means to establish the record of the year. He has many substantial friends who are determined to see him through, and the Ucluclets will carry home many more valuable gifts than they expected when they came. Santo's son met the beauty of the Ucluclet tribe on a fishing expedition one day, He wooed and won her. About a week ago they were married, and it is in celebration of this event that the proud father-in-law of the i bride is now doing his best, with the assistance of a few staunch friends, to give the Ucluclets the time of their lives. The excitement last night, when the log fires blazed, and weird noises penetrated the atmosphere for some distance was only a preliminary affair, and Santo did not take much more than a spectator's part in the game. The moving spirits were- Capt. Bill and Tommy Tatoosh. The former provided the muck-a-muck and the latter a hat full of silver all of which was distributed among the visitors from down the canal. The captain and Tommy are friends of Santo and were just warming things up for him. Tonight the Ucluclets will take the ring and will put on some of their best dances for the edification of their hosts. Santo has not yet decided on what night he will break loose with his great effort. He will probably wait till all his friends have had a fair chance to secure social honors, and then show them what really small potatoes they Conservative Victory. The by-election in Colchester, N. S.. on Thursday of this week, to fill the vacancy in the house of commons caused by the elevation of the sitting member, F. A.

Buchan, was in town th's week. Mr. Buchan has spent some time in Vancouver. He is interested in ship building and has investigated the situation from that point of view. He does not believe that the so called Terminal City can ever become a ship building port of any consequence, but conditions here strike him differently. The port is splendidly adapted for the purpose, while all the necessary raw material can be found close by. With such advantages as Alberni has to offer for shipbuilding on a large scale Mr. Buchan believes it will not be long till something important in this line will be attempted.

In view of the fact that we have taken a stand against the Liberal party, and have identified ourselves with the Conservative party for the Dominion campaign which is not far off, we have been asked to justify our attitude with the policy set forth in the initial number of the Alberni Pioneer News. In our initial number it was stated that no political party, corporation or sect would dictate our policy, but that we would be always ready to take whichever side of an issue, political or otherwise, might in our judgment be in the best interests of this district. That in itself is not very committal, and we can now see where it would allow a loophole for a journal that did not intend to live honestly up to its declared principles, but we stand prepared tomeet criticism from any point of view no matter how extreme. Our first political utterance was in the issue of Sept. 14, just after the riots had occurred in the Oriental quarter of Vancouver, and then we blamed the Dominion government for the condition of affairs that had excited some of the people of that city to such a pitch that they became lawless. Anti- Asiatic leagues were springing up in various places, and the continued in- pour of undesirables from the far East wasevery day becoming a more and more serious question. Our sympathies were with the league. So also, it is worthy of note, were the sympathies of a few prominent Liberals who, like ourselves, placed the blame on the Ottawa government and called upon it for some prompt action. It was more than a month later than the appearance of our article on "the Asiatic question that R. L. Borden, leader of the Conservative party of the Dominion, in his tour of British Columbia, pronounced himself in favor of exclusion. Therefore his opinion on this question, which has now become a Dominion issue, could not have influenced our stand on this issue. Had Mr. Borden taken the other side of the issue, or had he attempted a compromising policy, we would have stood opposed to him. Now comes the voice of that Conservative convention, held in Vancouver last week, and it is clear and straight for the exclusion of the Asiatics, and the preservation of this as a white man's country. To the editor of this," the farthest western newspaper in the Dominion of Canada, fell the privilege of seconding the resulution that placed the Conservative party of this province irretrievably on record as opposed to the immigration of Chinese, Japanese and Hindoos. It was beyond all doubt the largest, most representative, most unanimous, and most enthusiastic political convention ever held in British Columbia, and the anti-Asiatic resolution was one of the first submitted to it. The motion carried with a loud and sincere "yea" from every delegate present. The convention afterwards received a delegation from the exclusion league, and proclaimed itself as in thorough accord with the principles of that organization. To our mind this Asiatic question is one of the most vital importance to British Columbia, and mainly because of the sincerity of the Conservative party on this issue, we stand identified with it at the present time. Because of the trouble wrought by the Liberal government, in what we believe Was its obedience to the dictates of Senator Cox and other Liberal wire pullers, and its insincere attempts at making amends, we stand for a change of Dominion administration. Right here it is worthy. of note that the only one of the solid seven Liberals from British Columbia, J. D. Kennedy, of New Westminster, who did not agree to the disallowance of the Provincial Natal act, has been forced by the party organization of his constituency into political retirement. FROM BORDEN'S SPEECH. Following is an extract from an address delivered by R. L. Borden during his recent tour of British Columbia, together with some interesting facts he submitted: "Not only the prairie provinces but this great province as well offers homes which should be held up as prizes to the best emigrating races of the world, The efforts of the Laurier government have been directed toward quantity rather than quality. No reasonable or effective effort has been made to bring settlers from European countries to British Columbia. But immigration has poured in from Asia in large volume. It had begun from China before 1896. In the campaign of that year Sir Wilfred Laurier announced his policy with respect to Chinese immigration in a telegram published as a campaign document. In that telegram he said: 'The views of the Liberals of the West will prevail with me.' Note well the expression; he proposed to be governed not by any will of the people but by the will of the Liberals of this province. I adhere to the view which I expressed in 1902 that on this great question the views of the majority of the people of this great Provmce should prevail. "After the present government attained power the matter drifted for years until the report of the commission on Oriental immigration. That report, made by men selected by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, one of whom he has since appointed to a position on the judicial bench, contained the following: That there is a probability of a great disturbance to the economic conditions in the province and grave injury being caused to the working classes by the lai-ge influx of laborers from China, as the standard of living of the masses of the people in that country differs so widely from the standard prevailing in the province, thus enabling them to work for a much less wage. That it is in the interests of the empire that the Pacific province of the Dominion should be occupied by a large and thoroughly British pop- pulation rather than by one in which the number of aliens would form a large proportion. "With respect to the Japanese the report coutained the following pronouncement: Their presence in large numbers delays the settlement of the country and keeps out intending settlers; and all that has been said in this regard with reference to the Chinese applies with equal if not greater force to the Japanese. "Ill 1903 the Government carried out the Commission's recommendation with regard to the Chinese, but explicitly refused to take any action with respect to the Japanese. Sir Wilfrid Laurier declared that as to the latter the problem had been solved. "The resulting sequence of events has been very curious and gives rise to reasonable suspicion. In the same year, 1903, a Conservative member moved to insert in the Grand Trunk Pacific charter the following clause: That no contractor or sub-contractor on the said railway shall employ any Asiatic labor or work^ man in the construction of the said railway. "The government voted down this motion and rejected the clause. "During the last session of parliament the government made Canada a party to the treaty of 1894 between Great Britain and Japan, which contained the following provision: The subjects of each of the two high contracting parties shall have full liberty to enter, travel or reside in any part of the Dominions and possessions of the other contracting party and shall enjoy full and perfect protection for their persons and property. "This treaty, by its terms, permits the unrestricted immigration into Canada of the entire population of Japan." ALBERNI LAND DISTRICT. District of Clayoquot. Take Notice that S. H. Toy and W. B.

Nov. 30 1907 CONSERVATIVE RESOLUTIONS Passed Unanimously by Provincial Convention Held in Vancouver. The following resolutions, which are embodied in the platform of the Conservative party of British Columbia, were unanimously passed at the Provincial convention held in Vancouver on Friday and Saturday of last week: 1. The members of this convention desire to place themselves on record as emphatically endorsing the course of the government of British Columbia in connection with the advocacy of Better Terms for this province. To this course they believe is wholly attributable the recognition—though inadequate— of the claims of British Columbia for special treatment on the part of the Dominion government, already received, and also that the action of Hon. Richard McBride, premier, in carrying an appeal to the imperial authorities was effective in preventing a final and unalterable settlement of the financial relations between the Province and the Dominion of Canada, as proposed by the government at Ottawa. They desire therefore, en this important question to congratulate the government upon the conspicuous success of its efforts throughout, and particularly the Hon. Richard McBride, premier, on the fruits of his mission to England. • They hereby pledge themselves to strongly support the continuation of the struggle for Better Terms until brought to a successful issue, and the rights of the province fully secured. 2. The members of the convention believe that Canada should be preserved as a white man's country and approve of the course pursued by the Provincial government with respect to Asiatic immigration and at the same time condemn the attitude of the Dominion government and especially that of our British Columbia members at Ottawa in this connection. 3. That this convention approves of the action of the Provincial government in asserting its rights with respect to the control of the fisheries of the province, and condemns the Dominion government for its lack of policy and for its inactivity in dealing with this most important industry. 4. The convention declares in favor of a quinquennial census taking in B. C. in order to place this province upon the same basis as the northwestern provinces and thereby reap the advantage and development common to the whole west. 5. This convention strongly condemns the practice which has been in vogue s'nee 1896, of delaying the Dominion elections in certain constituencies until after the results in the general elections are known, for the purpose of unfairly influencing the electors in favor of the party in power. 6. Whereas under the terms of the convention between the governments of British Columbia and Dominion of Canada the former conveyed to the Dominion large tracts of the best lands of the province for the exclusive use and benefit of the indians alone, with the express understanding that such lands should correspond to the actual needs of the Indians, and that the area should be reduced as the tribes diminished; And whereas in many cases there has been a material diminution of the Indians on such reserves; And whereas certain of these reserves are within the confines of the larger cities of the province to the detriment of the community; And whereas these reserves are being used by the Liberal Government at Ottawa in the interests of political favorites and not as originally intended; Be it therefore resolved that it is highly desirable that steps be immediately taken towards the readjustment of the areas of such reserves, so as to make the unused lands available for settlement. 7. This convention expresses its confidence in R. L. Borden, K. C, as its leader and conveys to him its appreciation of his efforts to organize and strengthen the narty in Western Canada, its approval of and confidence in the platform of the party so lucidly expounded by him at the recent public meetings throughout Canada, and keenly appreciates his promise, when returned as Premier of Canada, to grant to the province of British Columbia a fair hearing of its demands for an equitable readjustment as to its subsidy from the Dominion treasury, which has been refused and contested by his political opponents. 8. That this convention heartily approves of the policy of the Honorable R. McBride and his Government, which has resulted in the sound and successful state of affairs which exist in the province today. 9. That this convention desires to congratulate Sir Charles Tupper, Bart., as one of the Fathers of Confederation upon the well merited honor conferred on him by elevation to the Privy Council of the Empire. 10. That the members of this convention, as supporters of a National Policy for Canada, believe that the benefits of the protective tariff should be further extended so as to assist and foster our lumber and silver lead industries. 11. That this convention views with satisfaction the course pursued by the provincial government in taking steps for a comprehensive inquiry into the subject of irrigation in this province. 12. That this convention condemns the policy of "graft" now being permitted and encouraged by the Liberal party with respect to the public funds of the Dominion, and also the want of purity shown by the Liberal party in conducting elections.

MEETING FAVORS PUBLIC OWNERSHIP Judges Decide, However, that the Opposition Win the Debate. PANTHER DEVOURS F. MULLER'S DOG That there is a strong feeling in Alberni in favor of the public ownership of public utilities was demonstrated at a meeting in Brand's hall on Wednesday evening when a number of intelligent citizens of the two towns gathered to listen to and take part in a debate on this question. A. French being introduced by the chairman, James Motion, started the ball rolling by moving that the meeting favored public ownership of public utilities. He was seconded by C. M. Pineo. Mr. Blandy, of New Alberni, was announced as leader of the negative with R. J. Burde as seconder. The chairman explained that the understanding was that three judges would be appointed to render a decision on the merits of the debate between the chosen sides; that their decision would be handed in writing to the chairman and held by him till the close of the meeting. When the four orators had concluded their arguments the judges retired, and then the debate became general every one present being allowed three minutes in which to express his views. Among those who had something to say were D. C. McDonald, Harold Bishop, George Hyne, George Ward, Dr. Kerr, Dr. Morgan, Rev. T. S. Glassford, and the weight of argument was strongly in favor of public ownership. The vote on Mr. French's motion was carried almost unanimously, there being only the leader and seconder of the opposition and one lone supporter to vote nay. The judging committee, which consisted of Rev. Mr. Wimberly, W. H. Marcon and Mr. Griffin had decided, however, that the opposition had presented the better case, and were entitled to the victory as debaters. "Resolved that the privilege of the ballot should be extended to women in the same measure as it is extended to men," will be the subject of the next debate to be held in the same hall on Wednesday, Dec. 12. W. H. Marcon will lead the affirmative, and R. J, Burde the negative. Goes After Live Pork and Gets Away With Defender of Pig Pen. A hungry panther devoured a dog at Sproat Lake last week and escaped to the woods uninjured. The panther was sneaking around F. Mnller's pig pen with his eyes set on a fat porker when he was noticed by the small dog that is part of the pet stock on the farm. The dog seemed to understand that the panther was bent on mischief, and did his best by barking and growling to frighten the beast away. Mr. Muller heard the noise and went to investigate. He saw the dog facing the panther and showing fight, while the large catlike beast simply lashed his tail, licked his chops and waited for an opportunity to spring. Mr. Muller returned to his house to get his gun. As soon as he had turned his back he heard a yelp from the dog, and looking around saw the panther bound off into the woods with the canine in his mouth.
