On both they have apparently made satisfactory arrangements. As a result of their trip there is no doubt at all now that the new dock will be built. The government have undertaken to build the approach, which will run from the end of Premier avenue, out across "the baseball ground to deep water, a distance of about 3000 feet. This | approach will be 16 feet wide, thereby allowing ample room for wheeled traffic. The construction of the dock will be undertaken by Dorey & Balch as a private with six .-horse teams.

A few days ago it was pointed out that the rumor must be true, because the premier did not contradict it. Now that "a statement apparently inspired" contradicts the story, we are told that the extreme urgency of the crisis is shown by the fact that it was" necessary to issue such a statement. Two things are plain, even at this distance. Lloyd George recognizes that the unionist members, with a vast majority in tne house of commons, have the right to say whether or how long he should remain premier. While visiting in Wales he is leaving the matter entirely in their hands. Secondly, it appears that every unionist who could be thought of as premier is a warm supporter of Lloyd George. FEEDING THE RUSSIANS THE British people feel the stress of hard times and the weight of war burdens, yet parliament has voted ��1,100,000 for the relief of Russian sufferers. This is an addition to large private donations in money and provisions. No ether nation, except the United States, has been so generous as Great other with the Moscow authorities. But the ordinary man in the street has about reached the conclusion that Russia's internal affairs cannot be settled by the chanting of hymns of hate in other countries. Until she once more comes into touch with what still stands for a higher civilization she will remain aloof in her folly. Invite her into decent company! and it may do her good and the other nations surely have nothing to lose by a course of that kind. Perpetuating hate had better be ditched before the disciples who worship at its shrine experience the inevitable result. LEADER OF THE MAJORITY SENATOR LOUGHEED is now for the second time leader of the opposition in his chamber. He took that position first, by choice of his conservative colleagues, on the resignation of Sir Mackenzie Bowell in 1907. His competitor in the ballot was the late Senator Ferguson .of Prince Edward Island, a former cabinet minister. When Sir Robert Borden took office he called Senator 1 ougheed to the cabinet, so that he was thus established in the senate leadership. Changes in the ministry and the premiership did not affect his position. Now that his party is in opposition once more it has been considered advisable for the liberal-conservatives in the senate to reopen the question of leadership. The result is that Sir James becomes once more opposition leader. For some years he will be the leader of the majority. Mr. Dandur- and ot the minority will nevertheless be leader of the senate. Sir James Lougheed will remember the past and show proper consideration for Mr. Dandurand's position. He was himself, for some five years, leader of the senate with the majority against him. vn-in i urv AV*U 4~*s\\a.mma*-7i-KTrri VyXjinairjL's l Among those who expect business to hum this season are the bee keepers. Strawberries are selling at $50 a basket in Paris, but they are in less demand than onions. Manitoba farmers are more concerned about the activities of the grasshoppers than the politicians. When Burbank succeeds in developing a seed- Britain toward the j less catalog, the work of the amateur gardener Russian sufferers, and in proportion to | will be greatly simplified. available wealth Britain leads all other nations in liberality. This is not a gift to the government of Russia. It is one of the discouragements of the charitable that the soviet government has money to ypend iu propagandist activities and revolutionary conspiracies abroad while millions of the Russian people are starving at home. The perishing peasants are not to blame tor this, and the British people are too generous to allow the people to die of hnnger. British and United States authorities are working together, the United States providing the machinery of distribution. Neither of them trust the Bolshevik authorities to dispense relief. The proceedings in the freight case would be considerably shortened if the lawyers delivered their addresses by express. SILLY NONSENSE PARIS is still horror-stricken at the thought of any French statesman sitting at a conference table with an emisaary from soviet Russia. The average newspaper thoroughly dislikes Lloyd George for his part in recognising that Europe must begin tu do Uusinees in some form or After riding elephants and shooting tigers in India, the Prince of Wales now has to face the ordeal of coming home and getting married.

It is understood that $36,000 will be spent in development work this year. A compressor and machinery is ready in Vancouver to be shipped to the property and a season of ac- ] tive development work has been .outlined by the company. Ore I was encountered in th. No. 1 i tunnel last fall before operations ceased. An early fall of snow i last fall put an end to operations | earlier than was expected, but the work done by the company showed satisfactory results and the Homestake company are confidently expecting to prove up some large ore bodies during the coming year. Work Commenced on Railway at Anyox Work is in full swing at Anyox | building the railway to the new dam site. The railway starts at a point near the junction of the high line and the Beach railway. A cable will be used for hauling the cars on the first 5000 feet of the road, owing to the steep nature of the ground, and a motor hoist will be installed at an ele- ; vation of approximately 600 feet 1 to supply the power. From the site of the motor hoist to the dam ; site transportation will be provided by an electric motor which will pull the supplies to the dam site. Power for the mctor hoist on the tram line and also for the 1 motor on the hill will be supplied : hy a power line from the mine ' and work on this line has already commenced. Work is being rapidly prosecuted on both the railway and the power line. It ! is anticipated that the railway will be in operation to the Jam by the middle of May and it is expected that the dam will be completed this year ready for use next winter.. May Develop Wolf Property, Alice Arm It is reported that the Taylor (Mining company are comtem- j plating a resumption of mining I operations at an early date, but | as yet no definite word has been j received by the officials of the company at Alice Arm. Should i the company commence operations it is understood that the i work wiii consist of developing ! the Wolf property, which lies two miles north of the Dolly Varden ; mine, on the opposite side of the I Kitsault river. No ore will be i shipped from the Dolly Varden this summer. All work will be concentrated on the Wolf with a view of ascertaining the ore tonnage on that property. mNEWELL ROOMS W. L. NEWELL.
