SATURDAY MORNING APRIL 18th, 1914. —-——l No. 16 Death of William Whyte Former Western Head of Canadian Pacific Dies at San Diego, California Wil,lam Whyte ilies in South &&& SAN DIEGO, Cal.-Slr William Whyte, former vIce-preBldent ol the Canadian Pacitlc railwny, died here today at the Hotel Del. Coronado at 12:25 p.m. Sir William came here from Winnipeg about the middle ol February, suffering from pyelitiB and a complication of diseases. It was thought he had a chnnce of recovery in the climate of San Diego. HIb death today waa unexpected oven by hia physicians. John G. Hernan, manager of the Hotel Del Coronado, stated tonight that the widow and children will. accompany the body to Winnipeg in a private car. Mr. Hernan wna in com munlcation by wire with son. Dr, C. F. Meade, the physician who attended Sir William, said tonight that there waa nothing in his patient's condition thia morning to indicate impending death, although he had had no hope for aome weeks that Sir William would recover. WINNIPEG, Manitoba-Sir William Whyte, probably the moat diating- uiahed privato citizen of western Can ada, and for muny years one of tbe most trusted officials of the Canadian Pacific railway, died suddenly today at Coronado Reach, Cal. The news waa received in Winnipeg Bhortly after 3 o'clock thia afternoon In accordance with his custom for the Past few years, Sir William spent the earlier part nf the winter ln Win nipeg, leaving later for the soutb. The past winter he had hoped to mako the journey previous to the close of the year. He was, however, detained by, pressing business, in much of which, his personal interest was extremely small and the public interest very large. He Bpent the Christmas and New Year season here and also the first few weeks of Janu ary. Shortly after the middle of the month he went south to Coronado Reach, Cal., hoping to spend some time in travel in the warmer climate He never left Coronado, being seized while there with his final illness. His health bad recently appeared excellent, and, althoubh his age. was somewhat advanced, his friends look ed forward to an unusual career for him, owing to his singular position in this city. On several occasions he had, however, been seriously ill. One of these attacks prevented his departure for London last spring, at which time he proposed making a journey around thc world. At the time of the termination of his active connection with the Canadian Pacific railroad, in 1911, he gave aa one of his reasons for his retirement his desire to preserve his health. His condition, he said, wns excellent and he wished thnt it should continue so. Unsuspected weaknesses existed, bow over, and to one of theBe he succumb ed. Sir William Whyte had residM in tho west for a little more than 25 years. During this entire period he was ln thc service of the Canadian Pacific railroad, with which company he wtll be permanently identified in the history ol the woBt. He came to Winnipeg as tho general manager, e- ventually becoming tliu vice-president in charge of western lines and finally the western director. It was widely liolievrd In earlier years that he would become head ol lhis large corporation, n position which ho would worthily have Riled. His great value to the company In connection with thc dovolopmunt nl tha system ln the western provinces was finally recognized by the president and ho had for many yearn a practically free hand In the administration nl tho Canadian Pacific railroad In the west. The feeling of sorrow nnd regret ro gardlng tho ileal li of Sir William Whyte, extends over tho whole Dominion, Irom tho Atlantic to thc Pacific. Among thoso who will sincore- ly deplore his death will be tho Duko of Connaught. During his stay ln Winnipeg two years ago, his royal highness, with the Princess Patricia, was much ln thc compnny al Sir Wil ham in public affairs and on numer- oiifl occasions the governor-general expressed his regard for tho Cnnadlnn railway loader. Othor governors genoral of Cannda ftho have visited tho west in recent yenrs met Sir William ind wero recipients of kindness at his hnnilo nnd his friends on thc other sldo of tho water aro consequently numerous nnd Influential nml his (leceaso will ho an deeply deplored there as In Cnnada. In railway circles thn unexpected death Is naturally most deeply de plored. As an expert ln the profession and as a man ol widia know- lodge and varied attainments in all that pertains to railway construction and operation he was recognized aB a maater. His associates fully a- greed with the statement recently made in tbe house of commons that he was the greatest of the railway men in the Dominion. Sir William Whyte was born at Dunfermline, Fifeshlre, Scotland, on Sept. 15th, 1843, and was married in April, 1872, to Miss Jane Scott, of Toronto. As a youth he was employed in the office of the factor of Lord Elgin's estate in Scotland and later b*ecame station agent on the WeBt of Fife railway. He came to Canada In 1863,and en tered the service of thc Grand Trunk railway and was employed in various responsible positions until 1871, when he was appointed freight and station agent at Stratford, Ont. He held a similar position at London, Ont., from 1874 to 1881, and was appointed freight agent at Toronto ln 1881. From 1882 to 1883 he was superintendent of the Toronto division. In 188,1 and 1884 he was general nup- intendent of thc Ontario & Quebec railway and of the Ontario division of the Canadian Pacific railway in the following year. In 1885 and 1886 he was general superintendent of the eastern and Ontario divisions. In 1886 ho became general superintendent of the western lines of the Canadian Pacific railway. That posi tion he held until 1897 when he became manager of western lines. In 1907 he became assistant to the president. In 1904 he was created first vice-president, in charge of western lines. He retired in 1911 when he was elected a director. He was a director ol the Imperial Bank oi Canada, of the Confederation Life Assurance company, of the imperial ixiarantee & Accident Assurance compaay and of the British Columbia Southern railway. He was knighted by King George at the Coronation in 1911. I am scarcely able to believe that Sir William Whyte has been stricken unto death," aaid Sir Rodmond Rob lln, premier of Manitoba. "His long active and intimate connection with )be great Canadian Pacific railway, this city and western Canada had given him a place in this country that made him one of the outstanding figures of tbe weBt. His ability aB manager of the Canadian Pacific railway, his urbanity of manner and his active interest in everything that contributed to the moral and material prosperity of the people of Canada, justifies me in saying that his loss Is irreparable and will be mourn ed by the people generally." "The news of the death of Sir William Whyte camo as a distinct shock to me," Bald George J. Bury, vice- president of the Canadian Pacific railway, "although I knew that he had been under the care of hla physician for same time, but I was not prepared for thc droad news. Only yeB- torday I received a personal letter from him, written in his own hand, nnd it wns In his usual cheerful tone J. G. Sullivan, chief engineer ol tlio Canadian Pacific railway, aaid- "I can only reiterate what everybody says about the death ol Sir Wlillaii\ Whyte. He was the most honorable, kindhenrted and juat employer ol men that it has been my good pleasure to be aaHoclated with" .1. Manson, assistant general manager ol the Cnnadlnn Pacific railway said: "The death nl Sir William Whyte touches me too deeply to say nuythlng al this time. Ho was more than a friend to most of us."

Commits Suicide Thomas Starbird was found dead in bed, at his home in lnvermere, on Monday. From a note which he left behind and a TTottle found near the bedside, the jury brought in a verdict of suicide. The deceased was a prominent min ing man, and came to Fort Bteele in 1896. He has resided in East Kootenay since that time. He was interested in several properties in the vicinity of Steele, and was the locator and manager of the famous Ptarmigan mine, one of the largest in the Columbia valley. He bad a wide experience in mining throughout the north-west. He was horn in Maine, and lived during his boyhood days in Haverill, Mass. He leaves a widow and two sons, besides some relatives in New England. He was a prominent Mason. Tbe deceased's wife and sons were spending Easter with friends in Windermere, and it is thought that the news that he was to get no insurance for some property destroyed by lite last winter was responsible for the worry that caused the suicide. Deceased was about 60 years of age, and a bottle of strychnine found at his bedside indicated the manner ot his death. Under the pillow was a photo of hla wife and on the back was written: "Let this go with me" A letter to his wife said " that he was unable to buck the troubles of this world any longer". on thc fence, and no one can be responsible for us, it is up to ourselves.

The Ladies Auxiliary served refreshments which brought a most successful evening to a close. Improvement of our Highways The records of the recent session ot the Dominion Parliament directs our attention to the proposals of the Government for the improvement of the highways of the country. For that purpose Mr. Cochrane has introduced in 'each session a bill which . simply empowered the MiniBter of Railways, with the authority ot the | CfOvernor-in-Council, to enter into an agreement with each province for the expenditure of a certain sum appropriated to tbat province by the estimates in each year. The sums bo appropriated were to be expended hy the provincial governments, but only for tho purpose of constructing new highways, or improving eXiBting highways, and it waB the duty of the government to provide proper safeguards for that purpose by an appro priate agreement. The clause in the hill contained a provision tnat with the consent of the provincial legislature, any portion of the money so appropriated might be expended by the Federal government. This was the most complete safeguard of provincial rights and of provincial aut- omny. Not one dollar could be expended without the consent of the Provincial Government and the authority of the provincial legislature. Tiie estimates brought down allotted the sums to each of the provinces in exnet proportion to its population. Under these provisions British Columbia would have received tiie sum of $136,675. Sir Wilfrid Laurier attacked the bill on its second reading by a motion, which, if carried, would have removed it from the order paper. He and his friendB opposed the bill with great vigor, and everyone of them voted against it upon the third read ing. Through his contn/. of a partisan majority in the senate, the leader of the opposition in the commons was ahle to secure the defeat of the bill, which deprived tbis province, as well as the entire Dominion of an earnest nttempt by th* Borden government to improve the highways of this provinco, hut thc whole of Canada.

ADAMS, Ohlol nl Police Time to build If one could but read the future ho would do things dillerently. Now conditions nre much more favorable for building a new plant. The big cities are overrun with unemployed workmen—men can ly: procured on terms decidedly more favorable for the employer than those prevailing in recent years. Materials and equip ment can he bought at concessions, and money is becoming cheaper. Quia* probably an extensive plant begun now would be coiuplated, or nearly completed, by the time the general demand for the products to be manufactured increased to such an 'Xteiil. as to call for thu operation of the new plant. On the other hand it is to be remembered that more courage or confidence is required to stnrt work on a new plant when trnde is falling and orders scaro*. When prosperity rules and orderB are pouring in, beyond the capacity of the existibg wurks, it is easy to see the advantage of enlarging. Uut when the opposite conditions prevail the directors and the management mny be influenced by the pessimistic nttititdc of business men In general. They may ooitBider that trade is likely to be quiet for some time to come and thnt as the existing plant can tnke care of all order* forthcoming, it Is better to postpone nil eapltal expnnditlires until times improve.— Industrial Cannda. 2 2.11 1.99 1.84 2.29 2.29 1.91 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ given rates put into cllect hy that decision 3 1.69 1.6S 1.47 1.84 1.84 1.58 4 1.26 1.211 1.10 1.38 1.3S 1.16 1.14 1.08 .99 1.26 1.20 1.04 0 1.04 ,96 .90 1.10 1.10 .94 10 .61 .56 .53 .65 .66 .55 Miles 1 2 3 4 5 6 10 ....695 1.97 1.64 1.31 .99 .89 .76 .45 1.78 1.48 1.19 .88 .80 .69 .41 ,,759 2.09 1.74 1.40 1.04 .94 .81 .48 1.8J 1,66 1.25 .94 .84 .74 43 Special Class rates from ffini ilpng: Miles 1 2 3 4 5 6 10 895 1.85 ..54 1.23 .93 .84 .72 .42 1.61 1.31 1.07 .B0 .72 .62 .37 958 1.97 1.64 1.31 .09 .89 .76 .45 1.91 1.60 1.28 .95 .86 .75 .44 Kootenay I,dg. 1041 2.13 1.84 1.57 1.42 1.08 1.07 .64 2.06 1.71 1.37 1.113 .94 .82 .48 Special Class Hates fr, om Calgary— Mill's 1 2 3 4 5 6 10 .. 210 .74 .62 .49 37 .33 .27 .17 .61) .55 44 .33 .30 .25 .15 273 .90 .75 .60 .45 .40 .33 .20 .84 .70 .55 .42 .37 .31 .19 Special Class Rates Irom Cranhrook- Cranbrook to Miles 1 2 3 4 5 6 10 169 .74 .62 .49 37 .33 .27 .17 .71 59 .47 .35 .31 .36 .16 Crow's Nest , 99 .60 .50 .40 .30 .27 .22 .15 .54 .45 ,86 .26 .24 .20 .13 Ternle 64 .45 .42 .38 .35 .30 .28 .23 .21 .21 .20 .IS .17 .11 .11 Waldo 52 .43 .37 .30 .31 (29 .25 .19 .2(1 .17 .18 .15 .11 .09 .49 .42 .41 .3.1 .33 .28 Sugar from Raymond, Alberta— ( lommodtt y rates Plenty of Work for the Express Companies &&&-- Thc successful operation ol the par col pnst system of Canada shouliil nut drive the express companies into bankruptcy.

Tbe work at Trail was in charge of Mr. Dedolpb who hnd heen employed on the experiments at McGill University, and by a Delgian electro- metallurglBt whose services had been secured. The plant consisted of a 3-phaSC 75-kw. furnace with three armatures—one in tbe bottom and one on each side.

Experiments will bo carried on with a variety of ores, in eluding a silicious carbonate from Hheep Creek, and the ores of the Standard, Hewitt, Slocan rttnr and other mines. ln the experimental work at Mc- (Jill Dntverslty spelter had been produced, and the problem now was to develop the process in a commercial way. Mr. Mackenzie referred to the development of tbe Johnston process m which the inventor claimed to have overcome these difficulties and to be in a position to negotiate for the Installation of commercial plants under his invention.' In reply to a question as to the reason tor tho failure of the Snyder process ns applied by the Cnnada '/ine Co., Mr. Mackenzie said he un- derstood li was due to want of a means of handling the blue dust. Shelves were provided on which this collected and sometimes it fell hack In the furnace, resulting in an ex plosion which blew out the sides of the furnace. The working out of the process was attended with some dan- gei 111 thiB respect, and the only way to successfully handle that dust was to remove it, hy draft as quickly as formed and prevent Hs accumulation where il, might, he returned to the f irnnce as it was highly explosive mi coming In contact with tho great.

Premier Asquith, when be intended if necessary, to coerce Ulster by force ol armr, refused to answer a hypothetical question, and yet, when at the Instigation of the civilian Secretary of State for War a question equally hypothetical was put to army officers, they were accused of Interfering In politics because they answered :t. However unpleasant the duty may have been, the army has never Biuce the days of Cromwell refused or hesi tated to assist the civil authorities In maintaining law and order, and they cannot be accused of having dt ne so now. One fact has been brought prominently to the public notice, and that is that any attempt to coerce Ulster by organized forces must result in a civil war, not only in the north of Ireland, but also in Kngland, and possibly in other parts of the Hm* pire. It would be impossible in such a case for interested parties to remain neutral, and the questions put to certain officers was tantamount to asking them which side they proposed to take if this occurred. It ia hard to realize that statesmen, for the sake of power, should have brought the Empire within mea surable distance of the horrors of civil war, and still more difficult to believe that, in face of such a catastrophe, the King would refrain from Active interference. Doth army and navy bave always had a profound objection to being used by politicians for party purposes, tbey own ellegi- ance to the ruling Sovereign, and all he represents, nnd neither Tory, Radical or Carsonite blandishments would make them swerve from their duty in thiB respect. Up to the seventies, commissions nnd promotions ;n the army *were marketable commodities, hence officers were draRn solely from the numied clnsses, hut on the abolition of tbe purchase system by Disraeli, promotion was regulated by seniority, and applicants for tirst commiB stone were selected by competitive examination, successful candidates belore being gnzftted to regiments having to undergo a course of from one to two years at a military college. Tbis change made but little differ- once as regards the class from which the officers were drawn. The necessary tuition eould not bc bad without considerable expenditure, the period of two years as a cadet would rost tbo parent of the proH- peothfl officer at least £600, nnd on obtaining his commission not. only did the officer receive less than a living wage, but lie hnd to buy and maintain a uniform and equipment costing from £150 to £600, according to the branch of tbe service to which ho was posted, An officer's pay and allowances, with but trifling alterations, is tbe same now as it was In the time of Queen Anne, when money had more than double Ita present purchasing power. All attempts to radically r^Wse the rates and bring them on a par with other professions have been vetoed on the grounds of economy by all political parties, with the result that, officers continue to be drawn from tbe upper lasses, or rather, the moniod class Underwear Advertise in the Prospector On reading a summary of lhe lele graphic nowo ol flu' rccanl rrlsls in the British Pntllfl nt, one iti led to believe thnl. not only bun lh.' anny interfered In politics, but lhat it has become n claw* apart through the mnchlnatlons of the Tories ami aristocracy, Dotll thoSO suggestions are fnlse and misleading, and hnve undoubted ly liM-n made hy politicians for par Itiolhnl and Socialist members (rom time tn time demand that a larger proportion of commissions he given to the rank and tile, and re Con tly a Labor member Hinted tnat if he bad his Hay, every rerrult would feel that hn carried a field iimi'tdml'ii baton in hla havcranet., hut he doea ho now provided be p.t-i sesses tbe necessary qualifications, and can afford to accept a commission. During and after the South African war, hundreds of c mimissions were given to suitable men who, on the battle Held, had proved themselves worthy. How many still bold them'.' Very few. Not because tbey were in any way incnpable, but because they bad nn private incomes, and were unable to live on their pay Similarly, in peace time, many excellent non-commissioned officers decline to be recommended for commissions solely for pecuniary reasons. Is it right to btame the Tories or aristocracy for tbis? If tbere was an honest deBire to throw open the commissioned ranks to the democracy, the tirst step should he to give all officers a living wage, and reduce many of the expenses that they are at present bound to incur. Not only does tois apply to the regular forces, hut even to a greater degree to the Territorial Army. If the country expects officers to give np their spare time to studying their profession and also to pay for the same out of their pockets, it cannot expect to rind them in the ranks of the democracy. The question of expense ib, however, but one side of the story. It Is commonly supposed that all who enlist in the British Army arc volttn teers, hut any recruiting officer will hear out the statement that more than half the men who join the army are compelled to do bo by hunger, want and inability to find other employment. This form of compulsion hardly coincides with tbe accepted idea of volunteering. Under present conditions, the rank and llle, with a minimum amount of work, are better paid, clothed and fed than any otber unskilled profession. How then does it happen that there Is a shortage of recruits? Dart ly because the army offers no career for men wbo cannot afford to accept commissions, and partly because in this Socialistic age every mnn Is taught to consider himself OqUal to, if not better than, his neighbour, with the result that be objects to the restraint of discipline. Till quite recently, it lias never even been bint ed that tbe army in any way enter- into politics, a political dlHcussUm between officers and their mon is a thing unknown; nevertheless during the recent crisis, tbe men were pre pnred to Htnnd by their officers. Drawn from the two extremes of society, whose political views are sup posed to be widely divergent, it is unlikely that this would hnve been tbo case If thfl action of the officers had, been dictated by political motives or inllueuce, hut all raukR of the army are imbued with a sense of loyalty and discipline which makes them a "class apart" In so far that tbey object, to being dragged Into the political arena for party pur pOBOB- It Is Imposfilblo to have a demo' cratlc army unless every able-bodied citizen undergoes some form of military training.

Oil Compnny Is nt last bearing Iruit. Not only those who have studied local conditions ever doubted ol ultimate success, but tbo difficulties and delays Inseparable from pioneer development work ln a uew country, lur from transportation facilities, have created just aB much trotlWle tor this company has for many othera. Tin* Indians hnv,i known of considerable seepages of oil In the Flathead Irom timo Immemorial; the geologists linvc known It for hall a century, and ono of the moat noted, the lato III*. Helwyn, nlways anticipated that sooner or later an oil Held would be located thbre. Dr. Helwyn gavo more personal attention to the Flathead than uny other eminent Canadian geologist, ami it waB his detailed ex nininntion which furnished grounds for un optimistic opinion. When the Crowa Nest Coal Mines were opened up, Mr. William Fernle, wbo bad visited the Flathead with Dr. Solwyn, wished hia company to proceed at once to exploit the oil features, and always attached great Importance to thc showing. Dut that company wub more concerned about coal than oil, and allowed the opportunity to Blip. During the last ten years, many prospectors and geologists have vlsit- i<il the Flathead, including accredited representatives of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway and the Standard Oil Company; in each case the conclusion formed was favorable. Only last summer the brothers Green, who rank high among the pro lessors of the American Geological Survey, spent several months in the Flathead examining its geological features, and their report again waa favourable to the exiBtenco of oil in commercial quantities. The problem to be solved ia whether the oil seepages in the neighbourhood of Sage Creek emanate fram a smnll quantity of oil with which thc sand and muskeg ol til* valley is sat united, or whether they ooze through a rock und shale formation from an internal reservoir. Many people have adopted the former theory, and aome cling to it with fatuous tenacily.The recent operations of the B.C. Oil Co. show that this theory ia untenable. Under the supervision of Mr. Lock- wood, one of the most experienced Held geologists in the West, who waa for many years associated with members of the Canadian Geological Survey, two bore holes have recently been put down near the well-known seepage. In the first hole, known ns No. 3, rock in place was struck at fourteen feet below the surface; at a depth of forty feet oil began to show itself; at seventji feet it flowed Ireely, and at two hundred feet, thu point at which the hole atops, there was still a steady feeder. A new hole was started 125 feet eaat ot No. 3, known as No. 4. Bedrock waa found at 57 feet, and' with it an Immediate showing of oil and gas. The oil increased steadily to a depth of 130 feet, when tbe flow of oil and gas was bo strong aa to splash over the platform and so persistent as to justify Mr. Lookwood's decision to discontinue the small hole and advise Mb company that this waa the proper site on which to establish a permanent holt. Arrangements have boen concluded (or thia, and tho necessary casing ordered. It Is hoped to have the bole commenced within two weeka from date. Thia showing ot gns and oil at such a shallow depth la remarkable, nnd Ib onslly ono ol the moat promising In thc memory ot oil expcrts.lt vetoes the theory of saturation ol the surface djposltl by the remnant ol an oil reservoir long since drained It establishes the theory of a rcstr- volr beneath, from which oil la now Inrrlng its way presumably through eviced rocks, under great pressure. The geological theory upon which Mr. Lockwood Is now able to explain existing conditions Is tbnt the holes tire nenr to an nntlrllnal, or over- thrust, which runs due north and south, ami thnt In the vicinity ot this overtlirust the strata hns been so eriiKtied nnd weakened by the geological disturbance aB to create a fractured wine through which a limited quantity ot oil escapes on the principle of seeking tho point of least resistance. When the largo bore-hole penetrntes this /.one nt greater depth unless ull conjectures aro wrong, it will cut what Is known aB an oil "gusher." The theory lu strengthened by the discovery by Mr. l.ockwoou for the Ilrst time of othor oil seepages partly In Unite Oreek nntl pnrtly, In shales on the south side of the creok, extending almost a mile eust of the original seepngo. TIicbo discoveries have helped to determine the position mul direction of the overtlirust, and to establish the main theory. Never were the conclusions arrived at basoil upon a (Inner foundation, or so fully Justified ns In the light ol Mr. Lock* wood's recent work, nnd the n.'sttlt which mny be niitlelpntnil In a fow mouths from ilnto should once for all lunl ity the conddoiico placed ln the Flat bend Vnlley ns an oil Hold by thou who have studied It for many yttnrs.—The Week.
