Wldran Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. Wait Coast News* The tug Lome, Capt. Christensen, with a pleasure party of ladies and gentlemen, the latter interested in the sealing industry, returned from Ahousett, Uculot, and Clayoquot, yesterday morning. A delightful trip had been enjoyed, the excursionists pronouncing the scenery along the various parts of the West Coast touched upon, beyond description. One of the party, who voices the sentiments of all, says that the pictures presented as each rocky point was rounded and each peaceful bay entered, seemed to be pages from Fenimore Cooper's portfolio of word paintings. Thore was tho wild grandeur of nature, unmarred by the hand of civilization—the still water for a foreground, the dark forest rising behind, and tbe bluest of blue skies over all. There Ib very little activity at any of the coast stations, other than that occasioned by tho calling of the north bound sealing schooners. The Indian crews are all willing to shin for Behring's Sea, and find no difficulty in getting work. The Teresa, which refitted at Mr. Penny's station, left 114 skins; tho Ariel aud tbe Black Diamond will ulso refit at Clayoquot, and tho Beatrice at Ahousett. The sealers spoken and supplied bv tlie Lome, which also brought buck their catches, were the Viva, with 202 Bkins; Pathfinder, 306; Mary Taylor, 114; Kate, catch not given. The Venture was passed on the return trip, inward bound. At Ahousett an old Indian chief was mot with, who proved very talkative on tho Behring's Sea question. He could not, lie said, understand what was the matter with tbe "King George people, Their big ships and fighting men seemed to oe all asleep, and whon their schooners were taken by the little American fighting boat, when the King George Indiana had tholr canoes and sealskins stolen, the King George Chiefs seemed to bo still too sleepy to do anything. He was beginning to get ashamed to let people know he was a "King George.": News was received at Clayoquot that the C. H. Tupper bad been reported since leaving San Francisco, with ono hundred odd skins, sailing direct for Behring's Sea. At Clayoquot ulso was found the mime board of the lost bark "Nellie May," which, with part of tho wreckage, was Drought back to Victoria. There had been no accidents or sickness on uny of tho schooners.—Sunday'$ Colonist. ^^^^^^^^^ Among tho debris carried down rivor this afternoon by the flood, was a large boom of piles. It sailed down stream at a fine rate of speed, but was captured opposite tho 0. F. R. wharf by two ven« turesome wreckers. waB put down. Aid. McPhaden said the Belling price of the goods damaged, not the cost had been put in the bill; the latter only should have been entered. Aid, Sinclair wanted to know why a drain had not been made there. The clerk said he had been directed to write Lowenberg, Harris A Co., when the Bushby block wus building, advising that a gutter be constructed at that point. They replied that the matter would receive attention and no more waB hoard about it. His Worship did not think the city should be liable when the owners of the building were to blame. The communication was referred to Aldermen Sinclair and McPhsdon to report on at next meeting. Council adjourned for ten minutes. UBPOBTS. His Worship reported on the C.P.R. right-of-way through the penitentiary grounds. Mr, Mara had taken hold of the matter and looked after it at Ottawa. The Dominion Government bad referred the matter to Sir Joseph W. Trutch for settlement, and the Government would be asked next session to reduce tho rent from $50 to $5 per year. A resolution of thanks was pussed to Mr. Mara for his kindness in looking after this matter for the city. bridge comm.ttkk. Tho committeo appointed to. confer with Mr. Balfour reported as follows We, your committe, appointed to con fer with Mr. Balfour re Bridge over the Frasor River, beg leave to-report that we met Mr. Balfour in the Council Chambers Committee room, Tuesday evening last, und tbe Committee recommend tbat steps be taken to ascertain the probable cost of a sufficient bridge by taking soundings and otherwise, und' thnt iu the meantime the necessary stop" bo taken to establish an efficient ferry, at u cost not to exceed $20,000. Aid. Johnson objected to the cost of tho ferry, and moved that the cost of the ferry should not exceed $5,000. The report was adopted. Aid. Hoy said a good ferry should be purchased. He did not think a $150,000 bridge would be any use across this rivor; lie did not think it would stay there. Steps should be takon to ascertain tho price of a really good bridge. A $5,000 ferry would be no better than tho K. de K.; he would almost as Boon see a dozen canoes employed as ferries as a ferry at $5,000. A really serviceable forry would cost $20,000. Again, this ferry could he used to run to other points on the river besides Brownsville; Lulu Island, aud other points adjacent. Aid. Sinclair was in favor of a good ferry. He could not be in favor of building such a bridge as Mr. Balfour proposed, as lie thought it would bo a littlo shaky, to say the least. He thought that $15,000 was all wo could afford just now for a ferry. His Worship suid there was nothing definite about a forry; enquiries would havo to be made, and he hoped it would not cost more than $16,000. Ihey could certainly get as goon a one for the money as possible. Aid. Shiles said ho was, of course, iu favor of a bridge, but the one proposed was not suitable for tho placo. And if a ferry such as Aid. Johnson proposed wero procured,t hen if we could not get a bridgo tho result would be wo would havo neither bridge or ferry whon tho winter came. Aid. Johnson said ho wanted a substitute for the K. do K., but not for tbe bridge. They wore like school boys who hnd a pocketful of money nnd thoy were afraid it would bum a bole in their pocket. Mr. Balfour hnd made the only business proposition regarding a bridge and it ought to be treated with due respect. This ferry question had been sifted to the bottom but the bridge question had not been so dealt with; he was speaking from considerable knowledge in regard to a ferry and it would not do here. Aid. Shiles objected to Aid. Johnson's language in regard lo the roport of the committee. Aid, Johnson replied that the committee bad thrown their whole being into pushing.this ferry upon the people. He then read the following resolution: Moved by Aid. Johnson, seconded by Aid. Smither. that the Board of Works be instructed to obtain and lay before this Council plans and specifications for a traffic bridge from a point within the city limits before tho extension of 1888, suitable for such structure, aud that may be selected by tbe citizens, to a suitable point on the south side of tho river, und to employ such assistance as may be found necessary for that purpose and thut the Dominion Government be notified of our intentions iu the matter. Aid. Sinclair repudiated the assertion that tho committee had pushed tliis re' port on tbe Council, Aid, McPhaden said he was prepared for a $10,000 ferry, but not a more expensive one. tie was not in iavor of a cheap bridge. He believed the peoplo would vote a $250,000 bridge if necessary, but if a $20,000 ferry were put on the people might not feel like voting so much for a bridge. He believed it would be advisable to ask assistance from the Dominion and Provincial Governments. His Worship disagreed with the statement of Aid. Johnson regarding tho pushing of tho ferry upon the people. Tbo committee hud gone to Portland to make enquiry about a ferry, not about a bridge at all. But as they were there they had made every enquiry regarding both and had made au honest and true report of their experience to the Council and people. He thought it most unjust and unfair - of Aid. Johnson to make such a statement, Aid. Johnson said these were merely his impressions. His Worship said that did not make the assertions any less insulting and injurious. A lively discussion took place upon a question of receiving'an amendment before the motion wished to be amended, was received. The report was adopted ou tho casting vote of His Worship. Yens: Shiles, Sinclair, Hoy, Lyal, Nuys: Johnson. Batchelor, Smithers, McPhaden. Aid. Hoy asked for further time for the committee on the subsidy for a steamer service. Granted. The Board of Works reported recommending that the following tenders be accepted for street work: John Patterson, London street, $2,500; John Patterson, Mary Btreet, $1,500; that tho tenders for Tliorne Road lie laid over for a mouth. Thoy further reported that after examining Moody Square found that the place is not suitable for a pound enclosure and that they had secured a lot from Mr. Sully on Georges street, the lot being sub-lot 27, lot 11, block 7, and that they hud appointed Mr. Hugh Murray, poundkeeper, at a salary of $75 per month, Mr. Murray to supply his own horse aud that the city clerk be instructed to have ono hundred copies of the pound by-law printed iu a condensed form, and tbat a notice be put in the papers warning owners of dogs that after Saturday next dogs not having tags will be impounded under tbe by-law. Report adopted. Aid. Smither moved that the Real Estate Tax By-law be read a first time. Further time was granted for the second reading of tbo Corporate Leases Bylaw. Another week was granted for reading of the Street Poles and Wires By-law. The Railway Loan Appropriation Bylaw was read a second timo and committed, Aid. Sinclair in the chair. During the reading Aid. Johnson rose and said he wanted, it understood right there that he would vote against this by-law in every particular; it was a most infamous' thing, and be hoped when it came before tlie people they would deal it such a blow as would crush such measures out of this place altogether. His Worship took the worthy alderman severely to tusk for his remarks about "infamous." He charged Aldermen Johnson aud McPhaden with trying to blind the public, but he was determined they should not do so. Aid. Johnson hnd evidently got the bridge maggot into his bonnet nnd could not get it out. There had been no attempt to force tho ferry upon the people. Committee rose and reported tho ov-law complete. Report adopted. The Street-widening By-law was read a first and second timo and committed, Aid. Shiles in the chair. His Worship moved, seconded by Aid, Hoy, that the by-law be passed as read. By-law passed as read. Committee rose and reported the by-law complete. Report adopted. The Slashing and Clearing By-law was read a third time and passed, and ordered to be published according to law. Moved by Aid. Hoy, seconded by Aid. McPhaden, that the Railway Loan Bylaw be published in Tub Columbian and the Street Widening By-law in Truth. Carried. Moved by Aid. Johnson, seconded by Aid. Smither, that the Dominion Government be notified of this city's intentions in the matter of a bridge across tlio Fraser River. His worship said, referring to Aid. Johnson's motion regarding the bridge, that it was not in order and had better ho made to read "as soon as possible" instead of at some definite time. Aid. Hoy thought it would be better to lav it over for a short time. Aid. McPhaden said the water was almost too high now to take soundings for a bridge. Aid. Johnson—Oh, that was expected, —all in the game, all in the game. (Laughter.) Moved by Aid. Lyal, seconded by Aid. McPhaden. thnt Dr. de Wolf Smith be appointed health officer for the present year. Curried. His worship thought thut it would be well for the Board of Works to again cult for tenders for tho improvements to Thome Road. Aid. Johnson gave notice that he would at next meeting introduce a bylaw providing for a public market. Aid. Smither gave notice that he would at next meeting introduce a bylaw establishing polling places for the vote on the two by-laws to be submitted to the ratepayers. Council adjourned ut 11:25 p. in. A vory large audience was present during the proceedings and at several times during the evening showed their approbation of the business by applauding. Interior Weather. Ar.uci.orr, May 0.—Tho weather throughout the interior is very hot and dry to-day. At ono o'clock tho temperature iu the shade was, Ashcroft, 85"; Clinton, 83"; Soda Creek, 8;i°; Quesnelle, 84°.

As will bo seen by tho report of the Council proceedings elsewhere, definite and wise action was taken Inst night in the matter of the river crossing problem, the majority report of the committee on the subject, to the effect that an efficient steam ferry Bhould be put on the river, the cost not to exceed $20,000, being adopted. Two by-laws wore also introduced, the "Railway Loan Appropriation By-Law" and the "Streets Widening By-Law." the substantial provisions of which will be found on another pngo (the by-laws themselves will bo published shortly), by which it will bo seen tbat tho Southern Railway bonus refund of $155,000 Is proposed to be Apportioned toward certain valuable and necessary public works, the ferry and tbe street improvements, and an ample appropriation to make soundings for a bridge, among others. These by-laws, which will be submitted to a vote of the ratepayers iu due order, also contemplate the withdrawal or annulling of the $80,000 Loan By-law lately passed, but for which no debentures have yet been issued thus keeping the debt of the City and the rate of taxation within the lowest possible bounds, while still providing for the carrying on of many necessary and beneficent public Works and improvements, that will contribute largely to the gen- jjral prosperity, greatly enhance the value of property in all parts of the City, and consequently raise our credit and in every way vastly augment our borrowing capacity, at advantageous terms, for any necessary or desirable objects iu the near future. We shall take occasion, after* the by-laws have been published, to touch upon the meritB of the various detailod objects towards which it is proposed to apportion the railway bonus refund. A BRACE OF QUESTIONS. We are glad to note that our interior cotemporary, the Kamloops Sentinel, is going to take a whole week to answer the "brace of questions" which we propounded for its consideration on the redistribution question on Wednesday last. Owing to The Columbian not coming to hand, it says, in its last weekly issue, until Saturday morning (the Sentinel's day of publication), "we " are unable to reply in this issue, but V can assure our cotemporary tho ques- " tions will receive due consideration in " our next issue," Huving ample time to look into the matter thoroughly, we shall expect the Sentinel to answer wisely and well, and to the point, without evasion or shift, Lest the Sentinel should mislay its files of this paper, we repeat the "brace of questions," as our cotemporary has facetiously termed them, not merely for its especiul benefit, but as a sort of standing challenge to any ambitions conundrum cracker in the Province. Here they are again: Upon what good grounds should 7,111 voters on the Island, similarly situated and circumstanced, but embraced in less area, and contributing less to tho revenue than 0,656 Mainland voters, be given SIXTEEN representutives, while the latter are allowed but SIX ? Beforo the "redistribution," the representation of the two sections indicated by the above figures was, respectively, THIRTEEN and FOUR. When an opportunity was given— and the reasonableness and justice of such a course (if there is any meaning in the words) can not but be apparent to anyone—why was no( some Blight attempt made to equalize this glaring disproportion, instead of aggravating it? We shall be glad to receive answers from the World, and likewise from the Colonist, as well as from the Sentinel. The former journal, whioh characterized tho Redistribution Bill in advance as the "foulest gerrymander "scheme ever perpetrated in any coun- "try," just as soon as it could decently do so, folded its arms and relapsed into a song of seraphic resignation worthy of a better cause and an altogether different sort of occasion. The World may be perfectly sincere in dropping tho matter with a big sigh, with tbo vague hope that everything will come around all right "four yoarB from now," when tho Mainland will have such a preponderance of population, etc., that its claims can no longer be ignored (these, in effect, were tho comfortable arguments with which tho World dropped tho redistribution question like a hot potato almost as soon as it took It up.) We should, like, however, to revive our co- temporary's flagging interest in the question, and thus invite it to take part in tho competion, just to "keep its hand in," so to speak. Surely, tho "foulest "gerrymander schemo ever perpetrated "in any country" is a subject upon which the readers of the World would like to hear a little now and then, especially when tho majority of them happen to have their homos and their interests in that section of tbo Province most discriminated ugninst. The Colonist is vory glib in construing, misconstruing, and distorting the utterances and statements of this paper on the redistribution question. In fact, that sort of "argument" appears to be its sole stock-in-trade whenever It approaches the subject. If it will undertake to answer, "straight," the problems that we have put to the Sentinel, it will not only add interest to the competition, but will have something to keep it out of mischief for a little while. Brace up now, you organs, nnd tackle that "brace of questions." Tub Vancouver NewAdvertiser occasionally goes out bf its way to give disinterested advice to the people of this City on matters on which it is imperfectly informed, and which it would do better to leave alone altogether. But this is a weakness of the Nem, and it will probably never learn just how really ridiculous it makes itself in its meddlesome offlciousness. The News discusses tbe question of bridge vs. ferry in an offhand, abstract sort of style, and decides that a bridge is what the people of Westminster want, and expresses surprise that there " can be so much hesitancy ' as to the course that Bhould be fol- 1 lowed." " Still more surprising, it Ib ' to find," adds the News, " that thero ' are some who claim that a ferry is to ' be preferred to a bridge. Apart from ' any consideration of the respective ' cost of the two things, there can be no ' question as to the superior conveui- ' once and facilities for traffic which t '' bridge affords over a ferry." Most sapient News. A Daniel, verily I No one, so far as we know, has attempted to argue that a ferry, abstractly speaking, is to be preferred to a bridge; but there are bridges and bridges, and circumstances alter cases. Tbe editor of tho News-Advertiser would doubtless like to take a trip around the world in a steam yacht, but due regard for the welfare of his creditors and his own nersnn- al finances might induce him to take steerage passage in an ocean greyhound instead. A large loan for city improvements Is being mooted by the Vancouver civic authorities just now. Abstractly speaking, it will be a fine thing, enabling street and other work to be carried on that otherwise could not be undertaken; but the News calls a halt and demnnds a more economical administration of civic finances. The Newt is very willing, however, apparently anxious, that the "twin city" Bhould rush precipitately into an expenditure greater than it can afford at present for a bridge that, looked at in the most favorable light, would bo simply an experiment (which would require nearly two years to demonstrate) as a means of affording safe transit for traffic across the river, and as an undoubted obstruction to navigation (taking the definite bridge scheme proposed by Mr. Balfour) would go far towards offsetting any advantages that it might possibly confer, if everything went right, over a proper ferry crossing. We wonder if it never strikes the News that its officious but only partially considered and ill-digested articles on subjects affecting this City are an insult to the intelligence of its Westminster readers. No one can help admiring the persistency and industry with which our Vancouver cotemporary sifts the civic affairs of the "terminal city" down to the minutest detail whenever a question of civic expenditure Is before the public—even if the prosiness and egotism of the screeds are somewhat tiresome—and it is noticeable that its influence is always thrown ou the sido of economy, but this only serves to make the contrast more glaring, and to give rise to suspicions that there is more than a disinterested "nigger in the fence," when we see the same paper go out of its way and assume a position of cureless and reckless liberality with respect to the money belonging to the ratepayers of the "Bister city." We don't like to think so, but it looks as if the Newt would like to see the people of Westminster involve themselves In doubtful schemes, prejudico the navigation of thoir splendid river and harbor, impair their credit, and do all sorts of foolish and suicidal things. But we can assure the News that the people of WestminBter will do nothing of the sort. Thoy know better. They will look before they leap, and will be content to walk before attempting to run, knowing this to bo the wisest course in the long run.

Scoullar k Co. %• NEW M6STMINSTER, OFFER FOR SALE FOR A LIMITED TIME, at the undermentioned Prices, the following Properties on terms to suit. SAPPERTON. Lots in the Sub-Division of Lot 2, Suburban Block 4, from $200 per lot. These lots are mostly cleared, and are very sightly, commanding an unsurpassed view of the Fraser River in one direction, and Queen's Park and the upper portion of the City in the other. This property is only about one quarter of a mile from the Brunette Mills, and is the best locality in Sapperton either for. residence or speculation. Western Addition. A few blocks and lots in the Western Addition to the City of New Westminster, Sub-Division of Lot 172, formerly the White Estate. This sub-division, consisting of 600 lots, was placed upon the market by us a short time ago, and so eager were purchasers to bjy that the entire 600 lots were sold out within ono month. We ire now offering the above property at slightly advanced rates on behalf of former purchasers. Those who missed the chance of b.lying at first prices have yet an opportunity of investing at prices that cannot fail to yield a good profit. We believe that this is the best speculative property in the City of New Westminster. SURREY. 5-Acre Blocks in the thriving Municipality of Surrey, midway between the Cities of New Westminster, B. C, and Blaine, Wash., at from $30 to $40 per acre. This property is situated on the flail's Prairie road, near the junction of tho Langley Koad, the Yalo Road, and the Clover Vnlloy Bond, within 500 yards of the proposed station of the Now Wostminster Southern Railway. The land is high and dry, and the soil is first-class. Surrey is ono of the most prosperous sec tions of tho District of New Westminster, and is at present enjoying quite a boom in real ostate; so that purchasers of this prop, erty will get tho valuo of their money in good, rich, solid farm land in a locality whioh at the samo time promises an excellent field for speculation. NORTH ARM. 146 aores in Lot 155, near the North Arm Koad, about 21-2 miles 'west of the New Westminster City Post-offloe, at $160 per aore. This is lino fertile soil, chiefly prairie, and lies well. It has becomo a maxim that cities grow westward, and New Westminstor is proving no exception to tho rule. City lots west of Edinburgh Stroet, along the North Arm road, have doubled in value in less than a your, while acre tracts have, in the same time, in some instances more than trebled. When the proposed extension of Columbia Street to the Westerly Oity Boundary is completed, tho North Arm will become the best suburban section of the City. Moreover, it is confidently expected by many that the route of the Electrio Railway to Vancouver will traverse this section. Our shrewdest speculators are realizing tho possibilities of this portion of the City, and the many sales of aore property in the vicinity recently, indicate that land in the direction of the North Arm is looked upon as ono of the best places for invest ment in tho District. Prices aro bound to advance rapidly. Consignment of Adams & Son's (Ont.) Celebrated Wagons JUST ARRIVED. Delivery, Express Wagons and Lorries. Water St., Vancouver. Columbia St., New Westminster.

BLODEAF The Inournlona of tha Prater. Most of our readers are familiar with the fact that in the vicinity of Chilliwack and Sumas the Fraser River has of late years become gradually diverted from its'proper channel and has made damaging inroads upon the alluvial lands on its south bank, thus not only destroying acres of valuable property, but nearly ruining the channel for navigation. The most alarming feature, undoubtedly, about the whole matter ia the fact that the evil in botli respects mentioned is a progressive ono, constantly increasing in seriousness, and those who have mado careful observations on the ground declare that there are grave fears thnt the river will break through at a certain point and find an outlet south of tho international boundary line. Mr. Wm. Hall, nn old and well known resident of Chilliwack who called on us Bttveral days ago, took this view of the case. Ho stated that at the Sumas landing, where tho river has made a long and deep cut into tho bank, it had only ono hundred yards farther to go when a considerable drop in the laud level occurred, and a steady fall from that point south was apparent. This being the case, it is not difficult to see that' the serious catastrophe anticipated above might readily occur. Mr, Hull has his own views about the proper remedy to apply to check the devastating inroads of tho river, and his ideas certainly havo common sense to commend them. He deprecates all attempts to protect the river banks by piling but believes the correct plan is to turn the river back into its old channel again at a point above where tho mischief is being wrought. This he quite reasonably allows, can be done effectively, and comparatively easily by blasting vast quantities" of rock from Chilliwack mountain, which abuts on the more recently formed channel, thus forming a wall or jettv of rock across the new channel and forcing the river to seek its old nnd natural course. Mr. Hall's suggestions Bhould receive the careful consideration of the Dominion engineers who, it is to bo hoped, will speedily look into tho matter. STRAY COW.

Shortly after tuis order was issued The Columbian pointed out that tho new regulations would force the canneries to work all day Sunday, and representations to the same effect were .submitted to tho Department by Mr. Thos. Mowat, Inspector of Fisheries, and the salmon packers ns a body, and the request was made that the timo be changed. The Department saw the wisdom of the change and mado the order granting it, Regarding tho license fee, no'change has been made, nor is there likely to be. The Inspector of Fisheries has been busy to-day apportioning the licenses, and the packers will be notified immediately of the number they will be entitled to. Although little has been said on tho subject of late it is not expected there will be further friction between the can ners and the Department. _______ Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. THE CARPENTERS' STRIKE. The Strike Still On hot Many Contractor! Have Agreed to Tertna, The carpenters' strike is still on, but tho position of affairs to-day iB somewhat altered. At a meeting held in the Orange Hall last night it was decided to hold out until tho nine hour system was adopted by all contractors, but to give permits to men working for contractors who would sign the short hour agreement and wages schedule. Before 12 o'clock to-day the following contractors had signed: W. D. Purely, Wilson, Matheson A Co., A. Cederberg A Co., S. G. Tidy, T. M. Crowe, R. B. Bell nnd D. Murchie. Permits to tho employees of the abovo contractors were at once issued and work was resumed by these men at 1 o'clock. Out of the 200 carpenters working in the city it is estimated that less than a dozen stood aloof and refused to join with the brotherhood. The rate of wages fixed for first-class workmen is |3 per day—not by any means too high. The strikers have behaved very quietly and acted judiciously since work was stopped, and their pickets havo performed their alloted duties in a most unobtrusive manner. No strong pressure has been brought into use, and the half dozen men not joining with the brotherhood havo beon left quietly nlone to work out their own salvation, The gen- When Baby was sick, ne gave her Castorla.

SHADWELL & OO, COLUMBIAN SUPPLEMENT. VOLUME VIII. NEW WESTMINSTER, B. 0., MAY 6, 18^0 NUMBER 80. TO THE ELECTORS —or— New Westminster District. GENTLEMEN:—In view of the near approach of the election to fill the vacancy caused by the death of our late representative (the much-respected D. Chisholm) and as I have stated in my card to you that I am a candidate for that honor, I will now lay before you some of my views on the leading questions which I consider will arise in the near future for consideration. * I have been asked what I mean when I announce myself as a Liberal-Conservative} I reply, "That by nature and education I am a Conservative, but a residence of over 30' years in this Province and much intercourse with our American cousin., has had the effect of changing many of my views, and given me liberal ideas, therefore I claim I am a Liberal-Conservative." Owing to the fact that party lines are not denned in British Columbia as they are in the older provinces, I consider that our representatives are not in duty bound to give a through-thick-and-thin support to any party, but they should go to Ottawa prepared to give a generous support to all good measures which may be brought before them, and to consider the prosperity of the Dominion as a whole, but our own Province iu particular, and Bhould a measure come before them which they consider in any way detrimental to the interests of this Province they Bhould take their stand like true men and vote against it. I am opposed to a certain extent, to the Tariff, or National Policy as applied to British Columbia. We are a long way from tbe centres of manufacture in the East, and many articles of overy-day me to our Farmers and others, and which we cannot produce at home can be obtained more readily and at shorter notice from our near neighbors over the line, and in many cases the articles are better adapted to our needs than those brought from the Eastern Provinces; in fact, much of our Farming aud Mining Machinery, Wooden Ware and other articles are Drought from the States, although the duties are so heavy. Again regarding our food supply; we do not raise enough to supply our wants, and are obliged to cross the border for it, and are met with such heavy duties that heads of families in this Province pay more than ten to one compared to their compeers in Eastern Provinces. We have had example to the point during the last three mouths. If we had not received a good supply from California there would have beeu a meat famine; as it is we are now and have been paying 25 cents per pound fur mutton, which is more than ordinary mortals like to pay, and the same state of affairs is likely to obtain again after any long and severe winter, for in spite of "Protection" for the last eleven years our stock raisers are little better pro- pared to meet hard winters than they were before, and to my mind the only ones who have reaped the benefit of the N. P. are the manufacturers. As a true Britisher I should like to Hee "Free Trade," but as that seems .out of the question,I would advocate"Het'iproeitv" in many articles which are at present in the Tariff lists, as I think it i would be beneficial to both countries, and the working man would not have to go down so deep into his pockets to buy what he needs to eat and wear. I am aware tho Government must have a revenue to carry on the affairs of the country, but I would have "luxuries" pay more and get at the pockets of the richer classes who can better afford to pay taxes. Owing to the long continued sickness of the late Mr. Chisholm, he was unable to be in his place this session, and very little during the previous one, j.o we of this District have been practically unrepresented, and our local wants have not been brought before the notice of the House. Hud he (Mr. Chisholm) been iu his seat, I do not think the Postmaster-General would have been left so much iu the dark concerning the necessity of regular mail facilities on the Lower Fraser as he seems to have been when he proposed to cut off the mail subsidy from that important route, and there are other places in the District which need better postal facilities, which I consider should receive thnt gentleman's earliest attention, I hope that in the near future our Distriot will reach that point that we may look for it to be divided and receive another representative. At present I think it is the largest constituency in the Dominion, extending over 1600 miles of territory, and when the census returns are in I think the necessary number of population will be found tu demand such additional representation. The protection of the river banks at Chilliwack, Sumas, Burton's Prairie and other places Bhould receive my earnest attention, also the works for improving the channel at the Sandheads, in view of the expected increase iu our shipping interests, I consider the Province should have . control over ull railway charters and privileges within our borders. Our Fishing interests, being of such great importance to this District in particular, I feel should receive more than ordinary attention. I would urge the cutting of a canal through the Delta lauds from the mouth of the Serpentine to Fraser Itlver, also to enquire into the question of cutting one from the Fraser River to Port Moody, which has often been suggested to me, Immigration, I consider, should be fostered, and encouraged judiciously. Just at present it is coming here fast enough; I would not like to see a large influx pour in at once, as many would be disappointed and go away disgusted and probably give our glorious Province a bad name. There are many other matters I should like to touch upon, but it would make this address too long. I hope* to Bee aB many as possible before tne election, when I shall be prepared to lay my views more fully before them and answer any questions. As.soon as possible after the arrival of the writ I will arrange for a personal canvass and will send due notice of time and place of meetings. During my long residence in the Province I have travelled through much of it, from Victoria to Cariboo, and have noted its growth and requirements, therefore, I feel fully competent to bring such matters before the notice of the House in a practical, business-like manner. Should I have the honor to be elected I assure you I Bhall watch over the interests of this District faithfully and to the best of my ability, not forgetting that I also go as a true British Columbian and to do my duty as such.
