Phillips, coa. operator, broker, banker and clubman, today took a sensational turn, when Mrs. Phi.lips, widow of the deceased, was arrested by chief of police Htamberger of thu aristocratic suburb, East Cleveland. Mra. Phillips has been in a highly nervous state since the tragedy early Monday morning, nfter which announcement was made that her husband had been mortal.'y wounded by a burg.'ur. This afternoon she collapsed and was not able to attend the funeral, which took place from the house with only Immediate relatives present. It was shortly after this that the announcement was made that aesltant prosecutor Mooney and others had taken the widow Into custody and that four deputies Would guard her In her home, until she recovered, apparently to be taken before a justice of the peace. The police are reticent about the case and whether they really believe Mrs. Phll- .ips culpable In the murder or whether they merely believe that i'he can give facts whkfh would solve the mystery, does not appear. The Inquest was resumed this morning. Dr. C. L. Richardson, the first witness, testified that he had not been summoned until 4 a.m., more than three hours after Phillips was shot. He had been .allied by telephone. Mrs. Phillip, admitted him to the house. She exclaimed: "Oh, doctor, something dreadful has happened; Mr. PhlRlpa has been shot by a burglar." He found the wounded nian in bed. He called Dr. Ithoods. Phillips nuked them to leave the bedroom a minute as he wished to talk with his wife. Husband and wife were alone for perhaps two minutes. He said there was a trace of blood on the stairway. The bed in which Phillips was found was much stained by blood. When the doctors reached! Phillips they realised immediately. Dr. Richardson said, that P-hlNlps could live but a short time. He ihad told them both he wanted as little notoriety as possible, given the affair. While the funeral arrangements were In progress today the police ransacked the house In search of the revolved or other evidence In connection with the case but as far as Is known discovered nothing. Phillips' secretary reiterated today his belief that with the life insurance policies the estate would cover all of Phlllllps debts and leave something for the family. The policies have so far not -been found. FOLLOW ROSSLAND LEAD. Phoenix Miners' Union Paei.s Resolution re Coke Shortage.

AGAINATTAGK Moors Attack French Near Casa Blanca SANGUINARY ENGAGEMENT FANATICS ARE DRIVEN OFF AFTER A HEAVY FIGHT—FRANCE IS GROWING ALARMED AT THE MAGNITUDE OF THE TASK NOW DEVELOPING. Casa Blanca, Sept. 4.—About 6,000 Moors participated in Monday's fight. The Moors were repulsed on all sides, and made a most impre_slve picture as garbed fantastically, mounted on white uorses ,and carrying their banners in the front line, they swept down the hill. - In splendid formation and charged thunderously to within about 400 yards of the trench camp, which for a moment seemed to be In danger of being overridden. As they advanced the Moors chanted In unison verses from the Koran. The irregular Algerian cavalry encountered the first shock of the Moors assault without yielding a foot from their position. General Drude quickly employed his forces to the greatest advantage and the Moors were subjected to a fire of shot and shell which soon left the ground strewn with corpses. Major Provost was slain while returning to camp after the engagement which opened at 5 n. m. and lasted seven hours. Major Provost conducted a scouting expedition, which was the actual cause of tae battle, the object being to locate Ihe enemy and prepare the way for an extensive offensive movement later. The major advanced about eight .miles In a southerly direction, meeting only scattered bands of Moors which were easily dispersed. He then gave the order to return and It was when nearing the camp that his force was assailed by hordes of Moors, provost formed his men in hollow squares with the Algeria cavalry In front. General Drude quickly reinforced Provost and the engagement continually developed Into n desperate conflict, from which the Moors retreated only after their ranks had beendecl- matel. It ts estimated that In the engagements of August 28th and September 1st .about 800 Moors were killed. Paris, Sept. 4.—The news of Monday's sanguinary engagement n.ar Casa Blanca has shocked as well as disturbed the nubile. The Moroccan situation is steadily growing worse and although France is constantly victorious, the dogged, fanatical resistance of the Moors who appear to he moblllzine in laree numbers may necessitate a distinct enlargement of the allied forces In order to bring the fighting to an end. The attacks of the enemy are believed to be due to France's failure to annihilate the Moors during the last expedition. This result France was unable to accomplish on account of the restrictions Imposed on her by the Algeclras convention. M.

Sept, 4.—The tinsmiths ot Calgary went out on strike today, asking for five centB more per hour. The manager of the Ashdown Hardware company, who employs the largsst staff, said they will close down the tin shop before agreeing to the demand as they gave a voluntary increase at the beginning of the year, and owing to contract, then made, they cannot glvo in wtthout losing money. There Is not likely to be a sympathetic strike. The snilthi are getting 45 cents and want 50. PAGE TWO. ©he Satis Stew*.

Dr. Pugsley, the new minister ot jobllc works, does not size up very well ■with the protestations ot the tory press ihat Borden Is going to sweep the country when the general elections come •n next year. Now would be the most opportune time to show their strength in New Brunswick. The defeat of Dr. Pugsley by a conservative would be a nasty blow to the administration. On the other hand, tf the conservatives allow him to go ln unopposed lt will effectually lower what prestige they may have in the province and materially strengthen the new minister's hold on the constituency. This determination ot the New Brunswick torles not to oppose Dr, Pugsley Is a strong refutation of tbe charge that Dr. Pugsley ls not a strong man. Obviously be ls a very strong man, or he would be opposed and leader Borden would go Into the constituency and point to the first fruits of his new patchwork platform of lta and buts. What ls taking place in New Brunswick clearly Indicates the real sentiments of the tory party organizers. They konw that hey are up against an impossible task in attempting to defeat the Laurler administration.

To have attempted to contest St. John, although the vacancy is created by the death of a tory representative, was to Invite overwhelming defeat. And when the time for the general election comes around the tories will find themselves in much the same position throughout thedominlon. Liberals are not doing much talking just now, they are taking things quietly, confident In the splendid record of their great leader and of his cabinet, but when the dogs of war are let loose, they will go into the fight with greater enthusiasm than ever hefor_. They can point with pride to the splendid achievements of the past decade and to an aggressive program of progress and development for the future along the broad, national lines that have characterized tfie great things already accomplished. * EDITORIAL NOTES. The, Toronto News' parliamentary statistical! admits that the conservatives cannot win at the next general elections, but predicts that they may do so lu 1912, There's nothing like optimism. It is noteworthy that the long dispatch from Rossland dealing wilh the coke situation which formed part of Tuesday night's Associated Press report and appeared in these columns yesterday morning, appeared ln the columns of the Rossland Miner yesterday morning as an editorial. We have frequently commented upon the vagarle^ of the C P. R. news service and this is a sample of what we have to encounter and it Is also slgniflacnt of the influences at work on the Rossland end of the coke shortage agitation. It is true that he general expenditure of the dominion has largely Increased. No apology Is offered for this, and none Is necessary. The financial record or the liberal government Is submitted for approval, and it is worthy of approval and commendation, The government have kept pace with the progress of the country, The ratio of expense of government Is less now, taking into consideration the extra receipts, than lt was under the conservatives.

A nation's expenses increase with the growth of business, as do those ot an individual; lu the case of Canada, ample return has been received for every dollar expended. Increased development, Increased trade, Increased developed territory, Increased public works, and Increasing population Involve increased national expenditure. As the business of a nation expands, Its expenses are bound to Increase In proportion. No man in possession ot reasoning powers will say that Increased expenditure is of itself conclusive evidence of Incapacity or extravagance. No attempt is made to deny that national expenditure has increased. The expenditures have been liberal but prudent, and have much to do with the growth and progress made. Ail expenditures have been made in the public interest. The government has kept pace with the times, and made due provision for the future. The conservative method was to spend several millions more each year than the revenue furnished, and to borrow the difference. The liberals may spend more, but they have more demands upon them, and withal they arrange for a substantial surplus each year. The conservatives spent less than the liberals, but they spent more than they had. The liberals spend more than the conservatives, but they at the same time lessened the rate of taxation and had many millions of a credit balance each year. "NELSON TO NELSON" Editor Tlie Daily News—I see that It Is proposed to send a wreath of ffowcrs and a photograph ot this city to be placed at the foot of tho Nelson monument tn Trafalgar Square, London, on Oct. 31 next, the anniversary of tho b,attle of Trafalgar, and of the death of admiral lord Nelson. This, it Is announced "would be a good advertisement of thla city.* Ao a former resident of Nelson and n former member of the 20,000 club, may I bc permitted to express tbe hope that no euch thing will be done. The practice of placing wreaths of flowerB on the NeSon monument was started by patriotic Individuals and societies, who wished to commemorate 'Deeds that won the Empire' nnd who had no thought of advertising either themselves, their towna or their organ Izatlone. To moke use of this anniversary as a means of commercial gain nnd advertisement would display a lament- ablo Ignorance of the spirit which should and does Inspire euch offerings and tributes. After Oils, what next. I wonder!

Faulds' record was 33 5-8 inches. Seven teams entered tho Sandon contest and it was the event of the day. Needless to say the result has aroused keen Interest among the steel hitters and the management of the Nelson fair can ensure a large attendance here by hanging up some substantial prizes for drilling contests. It is suggested that the Faulds brothers should be notified of the result of the Sandon contest and invited to come here during the fair to contest for a prize against the best teams in the Kootenay and Boundary districts. A prize; say of $300, and $100 second money, would attract miners from every section of southern British Columbia, and probably the Coeur d'Alenes, and would certainly) prove one of themost attractive as well one of the most appropriate features of the fair sports 'program. If not too late, the fair management should take up thts rock drilling idea right away, advertise It extensively, make the purses worth while and they could rest assured of a record attendance from all points ln the Slocan, as well as from Rossalnd and Boundary mining camps. There is a strong feeling among miners and prospectors throughout the district that the management this year are not holding out sufficient inducements to men of their class to participate lu the three days' fair. There Is nothing on the program that particularly appeals to them and it is doubtful if any large number of miners will attend the exhibition unless something be done to make the program more attractive. It has been suggested that if lack of funds be the only obstacle in the way of arranging for a really first-class drilling contest, a substantial purse for that specific purpose could easily be raised.

LINDSEY VS. "iRYDGES BEFORE JUDGE FORIN. The case of Lindsey v., Brydges took- up the whole ot yesterday, from 10 o'clock In the morning until 5 ln the afternoon. There were very few spectators In the court and the proceedings were somewhat technical throughout, several Interesting points of law arising on a move for non-suit. The whole of the evidence of either side was concluded and argument will be heard this morning at 10 o'clock. The first witness was W. F. Mawdsley, who said that the land sold iby brydges to Maddock had belonged to Croaisdale & Co. On being asked for a full description o fthe land Mr. Mawdsley had It not with him and was sent to procure It when in the interim R. K. Lindsey, the plaintiff, was called. Plaintiff said that he had entered into negotiantions with the defendant, S. M. Brydges, in 1905 and in consequence had sent V. Maddock to him in 1906. Maddock bought the Crawford bay land from Brydges. Then there came the resale to the Fisher-Hamilton company. Plaintiff, Maddock and Hamilton had met Mawdsley and Brydges at Procter. Plaintiff was surprised to see Brydges as he had known Maddock to have received a telegram from Brydges refusing to come to show the land. The telegram was not in existence and the court ruled that evidence tendered by Lindsey relating to its contents was inadmissible. Plaintiff went on to say that Brydges had made a claim for $3,000 commission on the sale to Fisher-Hamilton, This he Jiad refused as lie was making nb profit if Brydges told Fisher- Hamilton what the real price of the land was. This Brydges had replied the plaintiff 'need have no fear as to that." This conversation was interrupted at that time b utwas renewed from time to time by letter and verbally. On one occasion Brydges had refused to advance plaintiff any money to go home but finally had done so on advice of his solicitor. Even then plaintiff had refused to enter into any agreement with regard to the Fisher-Hamilton sale. Cross-examined by R. S. Lennie plaintiff said he was at first satisfied to leave the employ of the Montreal Star for which paper he was working at a nominal salary to go on the road or negotiate land sales for the defendant. He had no doubt then as to his bona fides. The following letter was then read from V. C. Maddock to S. M. Brydges, dated from Winnipeg, April 27th, 1906: "My friend Lindsey Is leaving for Nelson either Sunday night or Monday morning along with another party. They are going to look over the entire proposition we have bought. I would like you to arrange to meet them at Koota- nay Landing when they arrive and entertain them and take them over the land. The price will be $25 per acre as quoted in my agreement. I figure on turning over the agreement as tt reads. Lindsey is going ln with this other party, but Lindsey knows the exact price I paid for the property and is sharing ln the profits and will arrange with you as to giving you a bonus for assisting in the sale, but be very careful In quoting the price as $25, and coach Mawdsley along the same line.. I will probably write you again tomorrow and will wire you in plenty of time as you can meet them at Kootenay Landing." Plaintiff did not remember having seen that letter but admitted that he had written on the same day to the same effect to Mr. Brydges. On May 8th Brydges had written to plaintiff setting forth an arrangement for a commission of $2,000 plus the amount due on the original Maddock deal. Plaintiff had not replied to this letter immediately—not for several week. Plaintiff knew that there was a rebate agreement between Brydges and Maddock of $7 an acre. He did not tell the Fisher-Hamilton company this fact, although he was supposed to have an interest in the purchase. Plaintiff admitted lhat he was to purchase his interest with the money made out of this $7 per acre concealed from his partners. Plaintiff did not work for the Fisher- Hamilton company. He had worked with them. They had paid him $2,000 after the time when Fisher had found out about the ,$7, rebate, but It was because the money was coming to him, not because they dismissed him from their employ because of that discovery, plaintiff had borrowed money from time to time of Brydges and.had drawn on him. About the time a draft had been returned, In September, 1906, the cordial relations which had hitherto existed between plaintiff and defendant, ceased. They had not ceased, however, because of the refusal of that draft, but because of other causes. Plaintiff maintained that he had a commission on the Fisher-Hamilton sale outside of the $7 rebate. To the court: Plaintiff admitted that he ought to have told Fisher-Hamilton about the $7 rebate. He had deceived them and the others had deceived them.

"But," said Mr. Knight, "until Canadians have bettor facilities for sending goods to Australia there can never he any extensive trade between the two countries. At present goods have to be shipped either via Vancouver or New York, in either case involving very long and costly railway hauls to port of shipment. The cost of this long land haul is sufficient to prevent Canadians from any dangerous competition with the Americans. Until^you have ■shipping service from Montreal and St. John and Halifax, there wtll not be much chance for the development of this promising trade. "I am told that the manufacturers' association of Montreal has been mem- oralizing the government upon this subject without much result, but why the other manufacturers of this country do not join in making a demand which the government could not Ignore, I do not understand." This difficulty, however, Mr, Knight thought, might be overcome and no doubt would be overcome in due time. DEATH Of EDWARD GREIG NORWAY S CELEBRATED COMPOSER CALLED AWAY.

AUSTRALIAN PREFERENCE TRADE BETWEEN CANADA AND THE COMMONWEALTH. AT PRESENT TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES INADEQUATE. Montreal, Sept. 4,—Mr. J. P. Knight of Sydney, New South Wales, is visiting Montreal lu an effort to increase the trade relations between the dominion and the commonwealth, which he thinks should be considerably improved by the new tariff, which provides for a pretty strong general preference for the product of all parts of the British empire Into the island colony. The new tariff, however, tMr. Knight stated, Is not merely frankly, it Is drastically protective, in some instances the duties being higher than under the old tariff lt cost to lay the goods down at Sydney with freight and duty paid. "The policy adopted by the Deakln government," he said, "is that Australia does not want to Import anything that can be produced there and that duties should be fixed to prevent such importation. But if it is necessary to Import anything, then we would prefer to Import it from the other countries of the empire and therefore, the duties are so arranged as to give a decided preference." The new bill has come as a great surprise to the business men of the commonwealth, few of whom anticipated so drastic a measure. But Mr. Knight, who is a manufacturers' agent, considers that despite the great Increase tn the new tariff, the new provisions for the preference offered a good opportunity for Canadian manufacturers securing some of the trade which has hitherto been largely ln the hands of Americans since the empire preference would give MADE VERSE MUSIC POPULAR THE WORLD OVER. Bergen, Norway, Sept. 4.-—Edward Hagerup Greig, the composer, died here this morning. He intended sailing t.r Christiana yesterday and his baggage was already on board a steamer, when he complained of feeling 111 and as hU symptoms appeared serious, he was removed to a hospital where he died, Dr. Grieg was born at Bergen In 1843. of Scotch ancestry, and received hia musical education at Leipsle and Copenhagen. The musical world suffers a heavy loss in the death of Grieg, the Norwegian composer and pianist. It was at Copenhagen that he began the study of Norse Saga literature, legendary lore, folk music, and national melodic characteristics, which inspired the best of his work. He spent some months in Rome in 1870 where he came under the influence of Liszt ,io whom he dedicated his Foran Sydens Kloster, a work of magnificent power and conception. Next followed Important engagements ln England and Germany, where he was held In high esteem. Grieg has been designated the Chopin of northern music because of the undercurrent of melodic nationality in his work, whilst the vigor and the constantly recurring note of defiance make him akin to Schumann. Of his longer compositions, the Peer Gynt Suite is the most widely known, whllgt his short piano compositions are universally popular. NEW POgTOFFICE REFORM.

HOW LAND DEALS ARE MADE (Continued, from Page Four) that company. A part of that money might be appropriated, in the mind of Mr. Hamilton, for the Maddock land but how much would be a fair appropriation plaintiff could not say. He was not responsible If bis waiver cut out claims as to Mr. Brydges' bonus. Mr. Flsner had learned of the fact in Brydges' office. Mr. Fi.her had given him the $2,500 because he thought plaintiff entitled to It. Mr. fisher had said plaintiff had been square with him. __e had said this after the exposure. Possibly Mr. Fisher had applied the term "square" In response to tne reparation made by the plaintiff. On the examination of Mr. Mawdsley being resumed witness gave the particulars of the land sold to Brydges. There .were 1,749 acres Eold at an average price of $13.95 per acre. On one or two parcels defendant was receiving a commission, but on the rest there was no commission. On a few witness had comini-sions from the defendant. These cross-commissions worked out and defendant was therefore selling the land on no commission bb his own. Maddock had wired Croasdatle & Co. from Winnipeg asking that witness -hould cruise the land. Brydges then came .to witness and advised him not to go unless he had his expenses guaranteed and told witness that he had ■wired "Winnipeg to that effect. Witness had not asked that such a telegram ihouia be sent. He did not know of Its being jpeirt until afterwards. Ine court, referring to the suitors: "I ttdHk you are pretty well matched." Mr. Mawdsley said that he had afterwards gone to defendant and asked him what be expected out of the $60 and Mr. BrydgeB bad claimed $30. This witness would sett give blm as be had paid himself a'to for the launch, etc. He had, however, given Mr. Brydges half cf the balance—Ho and had obtained a receipt Witness had no further relation with the defendant. Cross-examined: Wi'ness was no war whether he bad or Wi bad a conversation witn Mr. Brydges anterior to the sending of the guarantee telegram, whleh would have JustWed Mr. Brydges' action. There had been difficulties over the securing of titles to the several par- eels o Hand which witness had not anticipated ln selling them originally to Brydges. Witness did not know at the time what was the arrangement with Brydges by either Lindsey or Hamilton. Thin eln.ed the ca«e for the plaintiff. R. a Lennle moved (or a dltJBtisal He stated an a point or fact that the Maddock deal and the Fisher-Ham 11 ton deal were one and the name deal. If that were the case bb Lindsey waB a co-purclia_er 1n the second half of the deal, he could not claim a cotnmlralon. Maddock had never com- pvti-.l his deal and it waB handed over to FIsher-Hamllton. Hence the deal was not a double transaction but a .ingle one. The court held that as the first deal wa* at $13 an acre and the recond with tT added they could nol well be one deal. Defeated In this, Mr. Lennle brought up hla second point of law on which he bnied hla move for a non-s uit. Thin waa that In the deed of sale between Brydges and the Flnht.r-Hnn.ilton company nn V Lindsey of the land, which Llnd .ey had signed Brydges had been Indemnified from any action whatsoever arising out of the land from Maddock or his assign*. Now the assignee waa Llnd.. y and hence Lindsey had Indemnified Brydges agalnit an action by hlmae-f aad: hence had put himself out of court, Mr. Taylor argued that the only indemnification waa against any action that Mad^ dock himself could have taken and thus transfer to an assignee, and not against such an action as Llnd-.y could take by himself, and not aB an a__igne of Maddock, The court reserved the point. Mr. Lennle, after putting in part of the examination for discovery of thc plaintiff, •put S, M. Brydges In th. box and took him over the ground already familiar in the case. The defendant explained tne *20 he got from Mr. Mawdsley as his share of the guaranteed expenses. He had no other expenses given him for his trip to look over the land with Lindsey and Hamilton. Cross-examined by Mr. Taylor—Defendant had entered Into an agreement with tlie p.'alntlff to pay certain commission, on the sole of lands by the latter Jn every other case but that of the Crawford bay lands. In that transaction the amount of/ the coj tmt-Vijki. was left to tha defendant. Lindsey had done a good deal of work elsewhere but he had mnde no soles. Therefore be hud not paid nny commission on such work since no sales, food been made. Defendant would not admit that his letter to I//.<•/>.* saying that the Intter's commission on tbe Crawford bay deal was to be $1000 meant tliat Jltttt was dole him, Mr. Fisher had discovered the sale to have been $18 an acre not $35 by looking over the defendant's books on a different transaction. The Court—The issue ls whether that $1000 commission to Lindsey, which Is not realty disputed, is or is not absorbed in the commission of the second part of the deal. The Judge went on to ask whether one agent should receive a half share in caah and the other notes. S. S. Taylor replied that although Mr. Brydges had stated he was getting a five per cent commission whicli he had promised to split with Lindsey, yet the evidence of Mawdsley showed that B-i'dges was not an agent but a purchaser under option. Mr*. Taylor pressed the defendant on the circumstances attendant on the procuring or Mawdsley to go to Pmcer. Defendant declared that lie lin_. wired to Winnipeg, saying that he iro. busy, but had not wired that lie could not go- He did not exp'aln how it was thlat he bad subsequently wired that Mawdsley wou.M "not budge without guarantee of expenses." Tliere was no telegram produced whicli showed any previous reference to Mnwds- loy's going and yet witness insisted that all telegrams i>u-..ing at that time had been produced and that tiiey "spoke for themselves," Defendant said he thought he was entitled to $3000 commission for going over the land with Mawdsley. He had got $20 from Mawdsley but he was entitled to tbe additional bonus for his services. Maddock had been over the ground before. Maddock had not been asked for expenses. Defendant had a letter ■ from Maddock In which ho ba been promised a bonus, which he .limn, .'f had fixed nt $3W0 and he had nothing to tell Mawdsley about that bonus but thought It good business to collect $20 from Mawdsley, I). fendant admitted that hlB ultimate profit on the Maddock deal was $6000. He denied that he had ever told Fisher of the $7 difference, or thnt he -hn.1 showed him thc entry in his book, intentionally, but admitted that It had1 occurred about the time thnt Lindsey hnd refused the $3000 bonus, but abso maintained that It bad nothing to do with thnt transaction. Court adjourned nt 5'p.m. for\rgument. whloh will take place nt 10 o'efock today.

KOOTENAY TOPS PROVINCE MAXWELL SMITH ON THE FRUIT CROP PROSPECTS. URGES EXHIBIT AT VANCOUVER CONVENTION. liaxwell Smith, dominion inspector of fruit, waa seen yesterday evening at the Hume hotel by a Daily News re- porter, and on being questioned as to the prospects before the fruit crop of the province declared that "the crop of the whole province would be average while that of the Kootenay would be good." Speaking as to the recent heavy raln- .fall, which Mr. Smith said he had heard bemoaned in more than one Quarter he prophesied, apposing that the recent wet weather was not continued and that some bright weather was experienced for the next few weeks that the coloring on Kootenay fruits would be a record, "It is a great mistake to suppose," asserted Mr. Smith, "that coloring comes from the sun alone. On the contrary the best coloring can only be obtained at times when the roots and the leaves ot the trees are moistened. One of the worst years I remember in the Okanagan was a year In which there but little rain. In consequence the coloring was throughout poor. I will grant you," continued Mr. Smith, "that the rain will cause trouble to your plums but the apples and pears will not suffer." The inspector was sorry to have to say that there had been a disposition among wholesale merchants in the Kootenay to import boxes of fruit from the United States and send them out to their customers without their grading being properly marked or with grading altogether omitted. Canadian growers are obliged to mark their boxes with the grade of fruit and the law Insisted that Imported fruits shall he similarly mark, ed. With Canadian growers the llrst man the dominion government looked after when such things go wrong ls the grower and when the fruit ls imported the first man is the importer. But the government ts not confined to take heed of these men alone. It can and does get after the retailer and Mr. Maxwell 8mtih is very emphatic on the point that offenders need not look for mercy from him on this point. The honest Canadian grower is the man who has to be protected and the government proposes to protect him. That which, however, Mr. Smith was most emphatic about was the coming ■International Fruit Growers' convention In Vancouver in December next. He said that this convention was of more Importance to Kootenay than any other exhibition, Including those occurring in the old country. The severest competitors this province possesses are Washington, Oregon and Idaho and all these states, together with British Columbia, would be represented at the Vancouver convention. Now If British Columbia can exhibit alongside of their strongest competitors and bear away the palm it will be an achievement which would be of Infinite service by way of advertising to its frliit growers. There was every prospect with the good' crop in the Kootenay that this section of the province would he able to compete successfully at Vancouver. Mr. Smith is particularly desirous that Nelson and Kaslo, particularly .should send in exhibits and let those exhibits be of the very best. Mr. Smith said he had met with gratifying support for the convention of which, probably for his sins, he had been appointed secretary and voluntary subscriptions from the government, from Vancouver merchants and from fruit growers' associations had flowed in generously. Every fruit growers' association in the province had promised something and a few had already made good their promises; Victoria had sent ln 137.60. Peachland, $25 and Kaslo $10 and he dared to say that probably others had come ln during his absence from the coast. At all events there was enough money ln sight to guarantee a promise that there would >be at least $500 in gold and silver medals for the exhibitors The International Fruit Growers' convention had met for the last 15 years and this was the first time It had been north of the line and Mr. Smith proposed to make It the best convention that had ever bepn held and wants the help of the Kootenay in succeeding ln his aim.
