The Conservative party in Comox- Atlin has entered into the present campaign with a well perfected organization and one of the strongest candidates at present before the electorate in western Canada. H. S. Clements who was selected as standard bearer has the unanimous and enthusiastic support of the party in every place that was represented at the Nanaimo convention on Wednesday when influential delegates-were present from every center and every corner of the large and scattered district. The candidate is comparatively a young man, but he has a record as a campaigner that many an old war horse might envy. He will address a public meeting in Alberni on Tuesday evening next when the people will be able to judge of the character and the ability of the man who has the brightest of prospects of being the next member for Comox-Atlin in the Dominion House of Commons. Duncan Ross Before An Alberni Audience. The Alberni and Port Alberni people who took advantage of the splendid accommodation of the Princess Mary for an excursion to the nortii end of the island, and who returned on Sunday, are enthusiastic in their descriptions of the pleasures afforded by the trip. Exceptionally good weather and smooth sea was enjoyed all the way, and the officers and crew of the ship were most courteous and oblidging in every way possible. The oratorical campaign of the Liberal party in Comox-Atlin was opened in Alberni last Saturday night, when a meeting with Quncan Ross, prospective candidate, and principal speaker, was held in Whyte's hall. The gathering was not as large as on occasions when the assumption of importance was less, the hall being little more thad half filled, nor was the meeting marked by much enthusiasm. Reciprocity was the only subject discussed. C. F. Bishop, president of the Alberni Liberal association was in the chair. The first speaker introduced was J, A. Maughan, president of the Port Alberni Liberal association. He was brief, explaining that his part was merely that of a starter for Mr. Ross. His argument was confined principally to the advantages which the lumber and fishing industries of this district would derive from the consummation of the Reciprocity pact. Mr. Ross announced that it was his first appearance before an Alberni audience and that he was pleased with it. He has a good platform presence, a strong and well cultivated voice, and is coherent in his delivery. He has enough of the dramatic about him to excite applause just where he wants it. He tackled the Conservative argument that Reciprocity had a tendency towards disloyalty and annexation with the United States, and dug up some interesting bits of history to substantiate his contention that Reciprocity would WATER NOTICE.

He went into figures to show that hundreds of thousands of dollars that had been paid by Canadians through duties on the necessities of life imported from the United States, and claimed that British Columbia paid a larger share, in proportion to its population, than any other province. When he reached the figures on potatoes he emphasized them and said: "That explains why you are paying five cents a pound for potatoes in Alberni." The cost of living was becoming higher all the time, said Mr. Ross, and the removal of the duties would remedy this. The Liberals on their platform of 1894, on which they carried the Dominion in 1896, had stood for free trade as far as possible. Tariffs had been gradually reduced, but not as much as he had hoped they would be. Referring to the fisheries contiguous to Alberni, Mr. ■ Ross said there were possibilities of great development under Reciprocity. Hitherto Americans had taken fish from the British Columbia coast, sent it to markets in the United States, and from there it had been sent back to the consumer on this side of the line. The removal of the duty on fish going from Canada into the United States would give the Canadian fishermen a chance to reap the benefit of this trade, and that fact was being realized. Mr. Ross said he had been at Uchucklesat where a large cold storage plant is now being built. Behind this enterprise, he was informed, was the Canadian Northern railway, a concern with capital enough to handle the trade against the competition of Americans. He believed that the Canadian government's Reciprocity policy was responsible for the establishment of this industry. He had talked with a man who was in charge of the work, and had asked him what the company was going to do. "Catch fish and freeze them for shipment," said the man. "Where do you expect to ship them to?" asked Mr. Ross. "To the United States," was the answer. "But you willhave to have Reciprocity for that," suggested Mr. Ross. "We are going to have Reciprocity," was the retort. "How are we going to get it?" "We will get it because we have to have-it." The speaker referred to the Better Terms question, and quoted from a brief that had been prepared for the McBride government ,by tl. Cowan, M.P. for Vancouver. In that brief Mr. Cowan had shown that British Columbia paid more to the Dominion government in duty than any other, province, and, on the strength of this, contended that this province was' entitled to a greater allowance from the Dominion. Mr. Cowan now had the way clear to relieve British Columbia of the heavy duties it paid, and yet, in spite of his argument when Better Terms was the issue, he was opposed to the removal of duties on imports from the United States. Mr. Ross made a humorous reference to Premier McBride whom he said had brought back from the Coronation with him a heavy load of loyalty. He questioned this loyalty except for political purposes. If Mr. McBride was so anxious as he pretended to be to save this country from the Americans, and for Canadians, why did he not change tne laws so as to stop the American speculator from grabbing all the best of the Crown lands in the province. This would be more consistent with loyalty than objecting to the people of this province being able to get a pound of butter from the other side of the line. At the conclusion of his speech Mr. Ross' was, on motion of Capt. G. A. Huff, seconded by R. F. Blandy, tendered a hearty vote of thanks for his address. On the request of the chairman the audience then sang "God Save the King." Mr. Ross left on Sunday evening for Parksville. He will be present at the Liberal nomination convention for Comox-Atlin which is to be held in Nanaimo this afternoon. Reciprocity Logic From Liberal Party By R. F. Blandy. Follow the bunch to Harry's pool room. Smoke the Enterprise Cigar. The great issue in this campaign is Reciprocity with a big R. The election is virtually a referendum on this one subject, and all other issues, however important, sink into the shade. On September 21 Canada will decide either for or against Reciprocity. With this preamble, it might be worth the while of every elector to inquire what Reciprocity really is before giving full fling to his forensic fury, and before deciding that "Reciprocity" spells national disaster or magnificent statesmanship, as the case may be. Reciprocity is the arrangement concluded between Canada and the United States some seven months ago, and now awaiting the ratification of the people of Canada. This arrangement provides for a mutual reduction of duties on a limited range of articles, chiefly food and natural products,— nothing more. To specify all the items would take considerable space, but the more important will be mentioned. In the first place, a large number of foodstuffs and farm products are to be exchanged between Canada and the United states, free of all duty. These include wheat, oats, and other grains; cattle, horses, swine, sheep and poultry; apples, peaches and other fruit; milk, butter, cheese and eggs; potatoes and other vegetables; hay and straw; seed, salt, salmon, both fresh and canned, (the present duty on B. C. salmon entering the United States is prohibitive, being 30 per cent), halibut, cod, and herring. Coke and cream separators are also put on the free list. Then there is a schedule of articles, chiefly prepared foodstuffs and agricultural implements, on which the duty is reduced by Canada and the United States to the same level. Here is a list of the more important items, showing some of the reductions made by Canada:— Fresh meats (reduced from 3 to ljc. per lb); lard, bacon and hams, (from 2 to ljc. per lb.); canned meats, (from 27& to 20 per cent): canned fruit, (from 2£ to 2c. per lb.): wheat flour (from 60 to 50c. per bbl. the U. S. reduces from $1.20 per bbl.); bran, middlings, corn- meal, oatmeal, prepared cereal foods, (from 25 to 17J per cent); cutlery, clocks and watches, (from 30 to 27J per cent); and cement, (from 12J to lie. per 100 lbs). These figures make dry reading, but they are necessary to a right understanding of the problem before us. When we are told for instance that the Empire is tottering to its fall because, forsooth, the duty on canned fruit has been reduced a quarter of a cent per pound, we can appreciate the true value of such a statement. Or if perchance we hear that our fat flour-millers will be 'ruined' by Reciprocity, we can afford to smile incredulously because we know that the duty on flour has only been cut down ten cents per barrel. The revised tariff still gives a strong margin of protection to the manufacturers of our prepared foods, but the reduction in the duties will undoubtedly influence the cost of living. There are also important changes in the United States tariff on lumber. The duty on all grades of lumber is reduced $1.25 per thousand. Sawed lumber, and boards planed on one side are free, while the duties on the higher grades range from 50c. to $1.50 per thousand. The duty on shingles is also reduced from 50c. to 30c. per thousand. The Canadian tariff on lumber re mains absolutely unchanged by the Reciprocity agreement. That is to say, sawed lumber, boards planed on one side, and shingles come in free, while the higher grades pay 25 per cent duty. Provisional arrangments, for paper and wood pulp are also made in the Reciprocity compact. The above are the chief items in the Reciprocity schedules, and it should be emphasized that the duties on our higher manufactures are almost entirely untouched. These manufactures include cotton, wollen, silk and linen goods; locomotives, stoves, machinery, ships, electric apparatus, nails and other metal goods; chemicals, soap, oils and paints; beer and spirits; tobacco, sugar, boots and shoes, harness, gloves; furniture and carriages. None of these great industries are affected by Reciprocity. The bitter cry that "Reciprocity means ruin to our factories" is merely the figment of a frenzied imagination. If the electors of this district will bear in mind this outline of the proposed tariff changes, they will be able to judge more clearly whether Reciprocity will be harmful or helpful to Canada and to the Empire. Here is a sample of Conservative argument, taken from the spicy, highly-flavoured pamphlets now being franked through the mails by Mr. G. H. Per- ley, chief Conservative whip:— THE TWO MARKETS. "The Canadian fisherman, under Reciprocity, will be interested in two markets—the American market and his , home market. The total American imports of fish for the year ending June, 1910, which would be affected by this agreement, amounted to $9,008,350. Of this amount, Canada sold the Americans, in spite of the duty, fish to the value of $3,329,222. Thus there would be a leeway in the total American fish imports for Canada to make up of $5,679,128." Yes—provided no change were made in the American tariff, which is intended to shut out Canadian fish. The pamphlet goes on:—"In other words, the biggest possible gain in the American market open to our fishermen is the amount of $5,679,128." This is utter nonsense, for with the duty on fish removed, the condition of the fish trade would be radically changed. The pamphleteer continues:—"Now the Canadian home market for 1910 amounted to $15,992,548 or nearly three times as much. This market will be thrown open to the American fishermen by Reciprocity." Quite so,—and the American home market will also be thrown open to the Canadian fisherman. This market on the "ten to one" population basis, would be worth $160,000,000, but not to be too severe on Mr. Perley's friend, let us put it at $100,000,000. Then our Conservative "arguer" reaches this glorious conclusion to his false syllogism:— "So the Canadian fisherman risks a market of over $15,000,000 in order to get a fighting chance in a market of a little over $5,000,000. "Is that a fair trade?" If he had been quite logical and had compared like with like, he would have said. "So the Canadian fisherman risks a market of over $15,000,000 in order to get a fighting chance in a market of over $100,000,000. Is that a fair trade?" We can surmise the answer of the Canadian elector. The Place where you don't get Lonesome.

That is to say, outside of Quebec the Liberal majority is 6 with 3 Independents. Dividing the Dominion by sections, we find the Maritime Provinces sending 26 Liberals and 11 Conservatives to the House, Ontario and Quebec giving 89 Liberals and 69 Coservatives ; while west of the Lakes the allignment is 18 Liberals and 17 Conservatives. In many of the constituencies, notably in Quebec, the majorities were small at the last election and the change of a few votes would greatly alter the complexion of the House. —Victoria Colonist Coal Prospecting Licenses.

Page 5 ALBERNI PIONEER NEWS Saturday, Aug. 19, 1911 Pertinent Remarks By English Visitor Moresby White, a barrister of London, Eng., who spent a holiday in Port Alberni and district, the guest of A. E. Waterhouse, was interviewed in Victoria by a reporter for the Times on Friday of last week, and is quoted as follows: "I have travelled all over the world and I have never seen anything like the natural beauties of Vancouver Island. It is a veritable Garden of Eden. For variety of scenery and diversity of natural resources British Columbia is superior to all the rest of Canada, and, as she surpasses the other provinces of the Dominion so does Vancouver Island exceed the rest of the province in scenery, in climate and in all the surroundings which make life delightful. "The amazing part of it all is that north of Great Central Lake it is absolutely unknown. It ought to be exploited. And between Great Central Lake and Alberni there is an enormous valley, easily cleared, which, with beautiful situations and a glorious climate, could be very easily settled up. I understood from a surveyor I met while I was away that they had come upon a country even more beautiful than the Sproat Lake scenery. "For fifty years the island has been a residence of the Anglo-Saxon. At the present time not one-quarter of it is properly known, and this is a disgrace to the people who live in it. Even now, persons living in the island simply live from day to day and in no way utilize the enormous potentialities of the country. For example, in the Alberni district it is impossible to get vegetables and fruit and dairy produce. All over the line as far as Comox all market garden produce is imported where it is wanted in any quantity. The present inhabitants are living upon the rise in real estate. They buy land and stay waiting for a profit on a resale, never attempting to cultivate .the land itself. In my opinion it is the proper function for Alberni to supply the natural products for Vancouver. "As regards the scenery of the island the journey by road from Victoria to Nanaimo along the Mill Bay road is finer than the Corniche road from Nice to Genoa along the Rivieria, and affords the noblest prospect in the world. Continuing through the forest past Nanoose Bay to Cameron Lake, it is equal to any Scotch lake for beauty. One reaches magnificent timber about Cameron Lake, almost unequalled in the world. This ought to be preserved as a national park. Everybody I spoke to agreed with me that to cut down this splendid growth of fir would be a crime. "Alberni is beautifully situated and must become a port for the north and centre district for the island. Beyond is Sproat lake, more beautiful than Lucerne, with three arms dotted with islands offering charming spots for summer residence. Unquestionably, it is the most beautiful lake in British Columbia, and within one hour's travel of Alberni, where the railway will convey a man in five hours. The fishing is as good as any lake can provide, and trout frequently run to ten pounds. They take a fly, but the big ones are caught by trolling. My biggest fish was eight pounds, and I had several of three and four pounds. The land at the south end of the lake is splendid for fruit growing, and the E. & N. railway and the C N. railway have both surveyed lines running along the end of the lake." NOTICE.

Mr. Borden says it is better to trade with the 350,000,000 in the British Empire than with the 90,000,000 in the United States. It is surprising that such a perfervid patriot as Mr- Borden should underestimate the Empire's population by fifty millions, but let that pass. His statement looks very pretty at first glimpse, and sounds like healthy doctrine. But will it bear examination? Three hundred millions of the Empire's inhabitants, that is three-quarters of its population live in India, half way across the globe. India's chief imports are cotton goods and other textiles, machinery, rails, girders and other metal goods. How much of these products can Canada—especially British Columbia—hope to sell her? Very little, if any. India k exports wheat, cotton, jute, indigo, opium, tea, native textiles, and so on. Does Canada buy such goods from India to any great extent? With the possible exception of Local News In Brief The regular monthly meeting of the Port Alberni board of trade will be held in the Permanent Exhibit building on Monday evening next, commencing at 8 o'clock. Dr. Ross, of Vancouver, who had been spending a holiday in Alberni, left on Tuesday for home. A. J. Engvick, secretary of the Big Interior Gold Mines, Ltd., came in from the property on Monday and reported that the aerial tramway is just about completed. The tramway is 2,000 feet and has a slant of 70 degrees. It will be used for transporting supplies to the mine and sending out samples of ore. Sample shipments will be made for the purpose of ascertaining the treatment the ore requires with the object of installing the most suitable machinery on the ground. A survey of the company's property has just been completed by George A. Smith, C.E., and the extent of the ground is over 400 acres all of which is mineralized. Mr. Engvick left ,on Tuesday for Vancouver. A. Wooller, a prospector from Vancouver, who has been exploring and investigating mineral indications in the interior of Vancouver island, struck a vein of rich indications on McBride creek. Further investigation has proved the vein to be an extension of the Delia vein which is being prospected by the Big Interior Gold Mines, Ltd. Mr. Woolley's find is on the east side of the mountain and three miles distant from the Delia mine which is on Drinkwater creek on the west side. John Hepburn, of Victoria, who has the contract for building the E. & N. Railway station in Port Alberni, was in town all week making arrangements for commencement of work. He left this morning for Victoria and will return early next week. Miss Emma Griffiths, of Victoria, is a holiday visitor in Port Alberni the guest of Mrs. A. Watson. Blandy. tea, the answer is emphatically no. Mr. Borden seems to show a somewhat elementary knowledge of trade conditions. He appears to think it better for Canada to buy a few pounds of tea from Calcutta than to sell shiploads of lumber, and trainloads of fish, to our neighbors in the United States. Better for Port Alberni to trade with Bombay than with San Francisco or Chicago. And yet Mr. Borden aspires to the premiership of Canada, a business nation. For the sake of Canada's trade, and the honor and glory of the Empire, the country looks to the ladies to save it from disaster by drinking more tea. Borden's British Blend specially recommended.
