UNDER MINIMUM RATE It is Announced that Both Countries Made Some Concessions. Ottnwn, March 271—The news ol a tiuiii agreement at Washington is received I" government circles nt Ot- tnwu with tmtiKfnctlon, which Ih not at ii.U Jetmened hy the (net that such an outcome tins been conlldeutly looked Ior ever since the conference at Albany, between Prealdent Taft and Hun. W. 8. Kbililing. While the Canadian governmnnt did lint shrink from a tariff war, should it t .'I'.'ini' necesHnry, stilt there lias ulwuys been a leellng that tnrifl hos- tllltlts with the United States should he avoided If It was possible to do so. It Is nndei stood that thc dispatches sent (rom Washington credit Hon. Mr. Fielding wltlyihavlng made rath er more extensive concessions than hav. been given and when thc official niiti..iiiu'i'iiieiit is made it wlll be found that the list ot Items on which Can idu will make tariff reductions wlll by no means include half ot thc French treaty list and lt ls not alto gotber certain here that the list has not been departed Irom. It Is also understood that any changes which havi been made in the Canadian tar IH In conaequenc] of negotiations be tween President Taft and Hon Mr Fiililiui:, wHI^not he eoellned t0 ft- United mate* or even to the conn tries which now have the most favor ed nation arrangements with Canada. In fact, any changes in the Canadian tariff as a result of negotiations wll! probably be made general by Canada and wlll apply to goods from all countries. The net result of thc negotiations will, therefore, be that the Canadian tarlll will bo slightly reduced on a small number of articles and that Canada will get the benefit of the United States minimum tarlll. SECllKTARY KNOX'S STATEMENT Washington, March 37.—It can be safely asserted that for the present at least, there will be no tariH war with Canada. Following a conference between President Taft, Secretary of State Knox, Secretary of the Treasury MacVeigh, Prof. H. C. Bm ery of the tariff board, and Charles M. Pepper, commercial adviser of tho state department, representing thc United States, and Hon. W. S. Fief ding, minister nt finance, and Hon. Oeorge P. Oraham, minister of rail ways, ol thc Dominion of Canada, the formal announcement was made yesterday hy Mr, Knox foreshadow Ing trade peace. "The negotiations between the president nnd the Cans dlnn representatives, which were ho gun at. Albany, some days ago, were resinned at. Washington today nnd wero concluded. They have taken form which gives nssurance that friendly understanding will he nrri ed at Immediately. It is expected that the official announcement will ho made xiniiilliuieously at Washing ton and at Ottawa on Wednesday, Match 30. That was all Secretary Knox or tha others present at the conference would say. It Is assorted on good authority, however, that lor the . present, at least, tlwre wlll bo no reciprocity treaty with Canadn. The basis ol thn forthcoming agreement, It IssaIiI will ho tbo lmsls of other similar lln derstauillngs made under tho max! rattni and minimum provisions ol the Pnyne-Aldcrleh law. The president bv tirocinium ion it. is snld, will declare tbat the Canadian tariff is not ini.iuly il.ticrltiMnntnr-v, Hnd the goo. s of the Dominion wlll be admitted to thc United States with the minimum rates provided In that law assessed against them. Whllu a reciprocity arrangement may 'eventually result, lor the moment the presidential proclamation will snrfflce. The tariff experts who have so successfully concluded this large work tako particular pride in the lact that lor the llrst lime the United States now enjoys the minimum tariff rates nl all Important nations. Heretofore Amorlcnn goods have, generally paid the maximum rates, and have had tn force their way Into foreign markets on tho basis ol their superior merits or because they could not he produced outside of America. Canadn has four rates of tariff which differ materially Irom one another. Thc rate which the United Stales prolinbly will receive ls classed as rate No. II, or the treaty rate, and within tho limitations us tn thn number ol articles Involved, la the same as that allowed to France undef thc dieting treaty.

He knew where the work wns contemplated. He put in varying bids for varying portions of the work. He did not bother about getting dredges. He got tbe contract. But on one part of the work his figures were higher than Stewarts that would not do; ho a quiet arrangement wns made behind Stewart's back that Moore was to do the work at Stewarts price. When all was secure Moore bought an American dredge, which he did not take the trouble to register.

Th* Attorney General's department has decided, aud none too soon, to strictly enforce the provisions ol the Highway Traffic Regulation Act U ia an admitted fact that good roads are a very material asset of any com- munity and also that heavy loads carried on narrow tired wagons are a source of much damage to the ordinary country roads The wide tire clause of the Highway Act have heen in force west of the Cascade.: for some years hut. only in lOO!"* waa a clause inserted in the Act nking provision for a standard width of tire for loads of varying weight. Although public notice of the change was given after it became law there has been no serious attempt made to enforce it. Now tbat a very heavy increase of traffic la mnde probable by the projected railway construction in this and other parts of the interior it is quite time tbat those using the highway should he compelled to do their part towards kaepfn: the roads in good order by using wide 'tiros. It. is well known that a heavy load carried on tires of a proportionate width improves rather thnn Injures the mad over which ft fs carried and for their own henetit even ' if not compelled by law, those who use the highways should take kindly to the strict enforcement of the Highway Act.—Revelstoke Herald. THE ORIENTALS IN M <\ The history of the Orientals in R. Co ifl that after having been employed on the railways, the yellow men entered all classes of industry, lived like Hottentotts and crowded the white workingmen to tbe wall. Their presence is now regarded as a calamity to the province. By takint? out naturalisation papers tbe Japs have ' become full-fled Red citizens and have practically secured a monopoly nn th* salmon fisheries, driving out the white man. The Chinamen, after leaving railway employment, engaged in market gardening, laundrying and scores of them have established dens ol vice in cities and towns. These places are aye-sore* in decent communities, breeding places of dlse.tse, and death traps for the young and thoughtless. n, C. undoubtedly ties the sympathy of thc rest o' Canada in the warfare against ths introduction of large numbers of the Oriental races.

PROTECTING GAME Prosecution for Infringements of, Game Laws. I Deputy ilame Warden James Bates, [ is making matters highly interesting for those who venture to Infringe on the game laws of thc province, The other day he got some informa- ' tion of a small band of Indians from ' the south of the international houn- i dary who were engaged in trapping I on Meadow creek, above Yahk. He at once set out and finding the te- 1 pees waited for some time till the ' Indians returned. He explained that i they should confine their operations j to the United states side ol the line ■ and escorted them to that point with I an admonition to behave better In i the future if visiting British Columbia. He had them headed south , within one hour from the time he TRAPPING BEAVER I Tuesday he had Adam Wise of Fort Steele, up before Police Magistrate I Joseph Ryan, charged with at temp t- I ing to trap beaver in a small stream j flowing into Wild Horse creek. An Indian, Ambrose, found the traps and knowing that beaver are closely projected, he took the traps home with ' him and reported the same to Jacob, the Indian deputy game warden, who in turn reported to Mr. Bates. Ambrose proved he found the traps, one on a beaver dam, thc other in the entrance, or hole, leading into the heaver's "house." Joseph W.xlsb, provincial constable of Port Steele, proved that Wise came to him and threatened to have Ambrose prosecuted for taking his traps which ho bad set on this stream to capture mink. Wise said his defence was that he set the traps for mink and otter.tbodgh Ambrose hnd sworn there was neither mink or otter in that loctlity. The magistrate declared the defence to be perfectly ridiculous. He could not understand the sense of setting a beaver trap in a beaver hole with a view to taking mink that did not exist on thc stream. He promptly fined Wise *10 and nil expenses of bringing the witnesses into court to prove the case. Ur. li. W.

Moyie, and the big stlrer-lead mines tributary, continue to attract great attention, and the recent discoveries at the St. Eugene, Society Girl and the Airora, which are ot importance, havo added to the prospective value ol the camp. The outlook tor quartz and placer mining on Perry creek ls very bright and mining men are beginning operations early.

Our preferential treatment of the Mother Country bas been expressly recognized by tbe United States as a domestic matter, over which they can feel no grievance. But the French treaty does give to Franco a distinct prelerence over the United States.' [(Moreover, Mr. Fielding hoped that Canada would get better treatment on certain lines ln France than the United States, for instance, he declared that Canadian harvesters would enjoy a preference of $8.00 a machine In France over American harvesters. However, France gave us only a part of her "conventlal" or minimum tariff. This bargain brought the present tariff row upon our hands and gave the United States an excuse to club iu into lowering our tarlll on American goods. Then France gave the United States all she had given us, and more. Thus tne net situation 1b that the Americans give nothing, get better treatment from France than we do, and have a lever on us which tbey are twisting lor all tbey are worth.
