G, THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER II, 1909 NO. 176 CATASTROPHE Terrible Train Accident on Outskirts of Vancouver INSTANTANEOUSLY KILLED FOURTEEN LIVE8 SNUFFED OUT AND OTHERS WILL DIE—LOADED FREIGHT CAR CRASHES IN- TO STREET CAR FULL OF PASSENGERS VANCOUVER, Nov. 10—One of tbe worst tTam accidents in the province, paralleled only by tbe Point Ellice Wldge disaster at Victoria years ago, occurred this morning on the New Westminster imterurban Hoe ot the British Columbia Electric railway company. Fourteen lives were Instantly BnuHed out in the accident and nine others are lying in the hospital, three ot whom are not expeoted to live. At 5 o'clock this morning an electric locomotive took a C.P.R. flat oair loaded with heavy pieces ot timber for de- liveiiy to the new Iron works on the Interurban line, a short di»Uunce out of the ctty. On arriving there the conductor found an empty box oar on the switch and left the loaded car an. the main line to shift the empty. Return- tag he coupled the two cars together to back the loaded oan- on the switch and when he had gone halt a car's length the coupling parted and the flat car ran away. A brakeman was on the car and tiled to apply the brakeB without success. The conductor, seeing what was happening ran back and threw a block of lordwood under the wheels to block the runaway but ae car rode over it. The inotormam when he saw what was occurring hastened down the line after he car, shrieking his whlBtle as a waning, the brakeman having Jumped after soing 100 yards. In the meantime the first passenger ^.ram from Vancouver to New Westminister left the terminal here at 6:30 un. with 23 passengers on board. As (he tram was rounding tho curve at jakeview, Just outside the city limits, ■notormaa .Thorburn saw the runaway ,'lat car directly upon him, coming at a erriflc speed. Shouting a warning he itarted to Jump, but before he could eave the vestibule bis car was struck vlth terrific impact. The flat oar with its heavy load crashed into the passenger tram and he heavy timbers plunged forward act. ng as a battering ram. In an instant •he passenger tram looked like a wreck- jd flat car and in die debris of the rams and load lay every one of the 23 ■jassengers, the majority having been tilled Instantly, while several others ixpired before medical assistance could ie procured. The bodies of the vie- :1ms presented a shocking sight, the iccident having been such as to cause ;*-rushtng of heads dn nearly every Instance, Injuries to other parts of the jodies being comparatively slight The dead men* were ordered to be noved to Vancouver before they were dentlfled.

FORT CHURCHILL OR PORT NEL- SON THE TERMINUS. OTTAWA, Ont., Nov. 10.—The most interesting feature of the annual report of the minister of railways Issued today for the people of the Canadian west is the remarks made by M. J. Butler, deputy minister, on the Hudson Bay railway surveys. After referring NO LOAFERS Lord Oundonald's Scheme for Aiding Unemployed BUY LANDS IN CANADA AGRICULTURAL SETTLEMENT FOR IDLE WORKERS FROM GREAT BRITAIN—JOKE ON GLOBE EDITOR — NEW PRESIDENT FOR GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC , LONDON, Nov. 10.—Lord Dundonald, writing In the Morning Post, suggests that each town and populous county of Britain should acquire large estates in Canada and other dominions for relieving the) unemployed -.problem Instead of spending money in useless relief work. All men should be emigrated under a contract to keep to their agricultural communities for a specified time. HARRY WRIGHT Conservative Candidate and Next Member of the Legislature for Nelson. in a general way to the work done by surveying parties' in 1908 under John Armstrong, the deputy minister mattes the following reference to Mr. Armstrong's reports. "It appears that two routes have been found, one to Fort Churchill and the other having its terminal on the bay at Port Nelson. He sets down the length of the Churchill route from the pass at 405 miles, of which about 320 miles have been surveyed, .and the cost at $11,608,685; the length of the Port Neison route being 397 miles and the estimated cost $8,808,350, to which ln both cases cost of terminals has to be be added. He considers that the probable total cost of either road would.be $17,000,000 or $18,000,000. This estimate, however, as he explains, ls based on incomplete reports and exploratory survey. He (Armstrong) observes that while Churchill harbor seems to be the best natural harbor on the west coast of the bay, much excavation, probably in rock, would be required to obtain tbe necessary depth for a commercial port. As for the river Churchill itself, he states that it Is full of rapids and falls and not of much use as a transport route, though offering great facilities for the development of power for the electrification of the railway if desired. Port Nelson harbor Is described as requiring Improvement by dredging a channel for a distance of about ten miles, but this would probably be an easy patter. Paper Tariff. CHICAGO, Nov. 10.—Paper and pulp manufacturers In convention here today will ignore the question regarding legislation of tariff revision, according to" President A. C. Hastings of New York,, the head of the American Paper and Pulp association, which comprises about one-half of the paper and pulp makers of the country. "The tariff revision Is settled," said Mr. Hastings. "We naturally do not consider the tap Iff successfully or properly revised." The Morning Post editorially emphasizes the fact that Canada wants men, no loafers, but endorses a duly safeguarded scheme and hopes Lord Dundonald will see what practical steps can be taken Immediately. The Standard also endorses Dun- donald's proposul, remarking that ii Is a business proposition, and as Lord Dundonald says, It ls a paying Investment on the one hand, and means employment of workless on the other. LONDON, Nov. 10.—This week's Punch has a witty article anent Rev. J. A. MacDonald's impressions of England. It ls entitled "In Defense of Our Faces," and comprises letters of protest from different cities singled out by Mr, MacDonald, each signed "Alfred Smith," probably the unidentified Individual who earned notoriety in the Bermondsey by-election by writing from a fictitious number on an alleged street In Leicester on tbe horrors of free trade. Smith in these letters gives various humorous reasons why at the precise moment Mr. MacDonald happened to look at him and his wife "Imperially" they presented the hopeless physiognomies, hollow chests and the anaemic appearance described by the editor of the Toronto Globe. LONDON, Nov. 10—Rumors in the city persistently associate Sir Arthur Codley, who yesterday was given a peerage, with the presidency of the Grand Trunk railway. LONDON, Nov. 10.—At the Guildhall banquet, referring to the Imperial defense conference, Mr. Asqulth said, "It had been animated throughout by a deep sense of unity and Interdependence of the empire, it had at its disposal -..ie best expert advice and It came to practical conclusions, which for the first time laid down definite principles, with due- regard to a variety of legal conditions, and the respective parts, which, by a free agreement, the mother country and our do minions over the seas are to play in case of any possible aggression in defense of their territory, their commerce, their train routes and the common Interests of the empire as a whole." LONDON, Nov. 10.—An official dispatch received today from Addis Beba, the capital of Abyssinia, states that the country is tranquil and that the condition of King Menellk continues to Improve. The story circulated yesterday to the effect that there had been a battle between the forces of rival princes is apparently an exaggerated version nf the conflict that took place at Tigre. In this fight Chief Abrahe was defeated, It is said, and brought a prisoner to the capital. (Western Associated Press.) LONDON, Nov. 10.—The two suffragettes who broke a stained glass window at the Guildhall during the height of the lord mayor's banquet last night were today arraigned and fined $25 each, with tue alternative of a month at hard labor.

MEETINGS WILL BE HELD NIGHTLY FROM NOW ON. ■ Tlie heartiness with which the Conservatives of Nelson are entering Into tlie campaign In support of Harry Wright, the government candidate for this const'tu- ency, was well illustrated by the attendance at the commit tea meeting held in the rooms of the Young Conservative club last evening.

WITH PREMIER Majority of Liberals Supporting Government OPPOSITION NOT SERIOUS CORDIAL AUDIENCE GREETS MINISTERS AT GRAND FORKS- ERNEST MILLER CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS RAILWAY POLICY CONCISELY EXPLAINED. (Special to The Dally News.l GRAND FORKS, B. C, Nov. 10.—"I believe that «0 per cent of the liberals in the province are supporting my program," said Premier McBrlde at the Grand Forks opera house tonight to the largest audience the town has turned out to a political meeting. "As tor the rest of the liberal party, I do not consider their opposition serious. In Vancouver, particularly, they are a very mixed lot of untried politicians, They don't know the! rcase, They don't know their province, and I will be charitable and say that they don't know what they are talking about. It is a small section to which wo should extend words of pity and consolation." It was to a very cordial audience that the premier and Ihe attorney general expounded the railroad policy and operations of public importance, and there was no doubt as to the enthusiasm with which Grand Forks has accepted that policy. Although liberals and socialists have candidates in the field the wish for development Is so great that Ernest Miller, the conservative standard bearer, expects a comfortable majority on November 25. The premier's handling of the railroad policy was clear and concise and he presented his facts In a manner which clearly put the situation before his audience. The attorney general's address on the fight of the McBride government for white labor, the right of the province against the encroachments of Ottawa, and ihe highly satisfactory standing of British Columbia financially caused an enthusiastic demonstration, and the Dreadnought of the conservative party, ns he has been christened on this tour, was In splendid form. In presenting his policy Premier McBride contrasted tlie bargain with the Canadian Northern with the deal made with the Canadian Pacific and the Grand Trunk Paciiic. "British Columbia gave to Canada for the Canadian Pacific a territory 40 miles wide and 550 miles long," he said, "Sir Wilfrid Laurier guaranteed the cost of three- quarters of the Grand Trunk Pacific road, and on the money so advanced we will not get a single cent of interest for seven years. After seven years the moneys advanced will bear interest, but we cannot collect for five years, and if the road never pays interest we cannot, take it over, and the best thnt can be done would be to place it in the hands of a receiver. Contrast this with the policy which I ask you to endorse, whereby we get GOO miles of road without the cost of a single dollar and without the subvention of a single acre of land. In addition we get a first mortgage on the road, and tiie covenant of the whole Canadian Northern system to see that we will never have to pay ji dollar. I am criticised because the Canadian Northern will parallel the Canadian Pacific for a certain distance. Let me teil you that the route chosen down the Thompson and Fraser canyons Is the only portal to the coast which gives a grade good enough to ensure competitive rates." In reviewing the Kettle river valley agreement the premier said It would ensure aa extension of that road from Grand Forks to Nicola, giving rail connection between Kootenay, Boundary and the coast. "While wc gave a subsidy to tills road let me say that it is the last word of the government on lands or colli assistance. The assistance this road gets would have to be paid anyway for the courts have decided that tho subsidy given by a former British Columbia government to the Midway & Vernon line must bo paid. The government has therefore decided to give thai bonus to the Kettle Valley line for which it will build from Midway to Coulee, from there to Pentlcton, and on to Merritt, in the Nicola, and an extension up the north fork. A sum of $750,000 at 3 per cent inscribed stock is involved, which means a charge of $22,500 a year on the treasury. But 150 miles which are bonused wilt be taxed at _.Q a mile for the flrst ten years, which means $13,500 a year in taxes, leaving a net charge of only ?0,000. At the end* of ten years the whole ItfO miles will he taxed, so that our receipts will more than cover the charge on the treasury. Not one dollar of this subsidy will he paid until the old debts incurred by tho Okanagan Construction company have been paid." After predicting a great future for Grand Forks as an industrial center, the premier, In dealing with general matters, said that next session the government would consider the reduction of taxes and would also pass a measure for the perpetuity of timber licenses. We will also discuss some plan for the clearing of our bush lands, the reclaiming of our low lands and the irrigation of oyr high lands. Vote for Miller, progress,- prosperity and productiveness," he concluded. The chair was taken by F. H. Hut. ton, president of the Grand Froks Conservative association, and candidate Ernest Miller was warmly received. Grand Forks expressed its views by means of mottos, some of which read "Miller and More Railways," "No Chinese Need Apply,'' "Development of the North Fork," and "Irrigation for the Farmers." BRING BENGOUGH HERE SCHOOL BOARD ARRANGE6 FOR AN ENTERTAINMENT. MANUAL TRAINING GRANTS TO BE SOUGHT.

They had tnken the matter up wl tlie government, with the result that i government now gave the snme grant f a. tea A <*li-*i* in the ulm. He suggested that it would for the various hoards or fur the* school trustees in convention to ask the government tn grant aid toward the Initial expense of providing manual training centres. ■. e} Messrs. Steel and Artllhr, who will represent the Nelson hoard ,at the annual convention of school trustees at Chilliwack, agreed to raise the matter of such grants nt the convention. Final estimates In connection with the public school construction account, from various contractors, were held over iinlil the architect of the board, Alex Carrie, should report upon them. An endeavor will be made to stop 'be trespassing on the school grounds after hours, the board requesting the police to take charge of the matter. The caretaker of the school will be sworn in as a Special constable. It was decided to offer a prize of Pin' for the best cover design for the public school scribblers designed by a pupil or teacher.

IMMIGRATION INCREASE People From United States Flocking to Western Canada WINNIPEG, Nov. 10—The enormous increase in the immigration of Americans to Canada is best told in cold figures which have been compiled by tho Immigration authorities. For the past three months the figures have been compiled and show tlie total number of immigrants Coming through 'ipada point of entry Into western Canada, These figures show a gradual increase right along, and this Increase is likeliy to be kept, up through the present month. In, the month of August this year the increase over the corresponding month last year is 768. September shows an increase of 1413. and October an Increase of 21,110. Per the three months alone the total number is 13,811. The complete figures show that Americana are coming from all parts of tiie United States. Hitherto Ihe immigrants flrom the other side of the line came through tlio regular ports of ent/ry, but on account of the tremendous immigration this year tbe immigration authorities had to open moro do-Jrs to the American immigration and if the great rush continues, which is anticipated, still more doors of entry will be established.

They are bound to occupy the very centre of a great city. Remember, there is no possibility of making the town somewhere else, even if there was any desire to do so. From the begin- ning of dime^hJia^i^n^CTeed that this should be the site of a great city. A thousand miles of navigable waterways converging hen*, the natural route lor railways In every direction witli easv grades and direct routes, and Its central position In the largest and most lertile area ot land in British Columbia, an empire In extent, bas placed it beyond the power of any railway to overlook It. The Grand Trunk PaoiHc has already secured land lo the norm nnd west and are negotiating for the Indian reserve and Hudson Bay land to the east. The government has placed a reserve on all vacant land wlhtln a radius ot several miles and long before the railway reaches It Fort George will be a city of no mean proportions. Not onlv has Fort George been most singularly favored as regards Its position, but the lay of Ihe land, naturs of 'the soil scenery mild healthful climate, facilities for line roads and beautiful driveways, lakes and streams In the locality teeming' with the finest trout, abundance of game, all unite to form a combination unsurpassed as . site for a city and a desirable place to make a permanent home. We guara^Jee every lot to he high, dry and level. Fort George townsite occupies a level gravelly bench about 30 feet above the river and there is no bad lots In the addition. The time to buv Is now. The lowest price for Inside lots Is $100 amd the highest for those within 300 feet of the railway, $150; Jib down and $10 per month.

GOVERNMENT ANNUITIES I SCHEME EXPLAINED IN INTERESTING LECTURE. I OPPORTUNITY TO 8ECURE INCOME AT MINIMUM COST. To the ordinary Individual, not specially interested in the theme, the pr is- pect of listening to a lecture on the scheme Tor government annuities Is not particularly alluring. And a discussion or the various phases of the government annuity scheme by a lecturer of mediocre ability could not tall to be om»-, what dry and unattractive, but noii-j of those who listened 'ast night td Dr. Sampson as he expounded tlie annuity scheme in his lecture in Eagle hall could have regretted the time that they spent, or could have tailed to be-* Rlruck ,by the Importance ot the subject or to be interested by the bright and original manner in which the lecturer presented his facts. The dry bones of the subject were clothed with a raiment of deft expression and literary phraseology that made the lecture not only Interesting and Instructive, but genuinely enjoyable. Dr. Sampson's elucidation of the proposition was thoroughly comprehensive and straightforward. The annuities scheme is not In the nature of an old age pension. What the government does Is to take deposits from any person at any age and convert them into annuities payable at such an age as the applicants desire. The same thing is done by insurance companies, but the .following advantages are claimed for the government plan for persons with moderate means: The whole wealth and credit of the | nation is behind the contract. All the cost of securing subscribers, of administering the funds, and carrying on the business is borne by tlie government, and the investor escapes this charge. The goverment pays 4 per cent compound interest on all the premiums or investments, fixing the annuities on that basis, and in case of death before the annuity period, returns the amounts paid with 3 per cent interest. There is the largest conceivable llh- i erty allowed as to the amounts, meth- ; ods and intervals of payment, and as I to the time when annuities are due. | There are no forfeitures, no penalties, no lapses. Whether payments are large | or small, regular or variable, the final adjustment ls made on the basis of the agreement, the returns, of course, corresponding to >the actual amount paid. The investment Is free from all i claims, creditors and incumbrances. It I; ls an actual and certain net Income. The government contributes toward the scheme the necessary outlay In ■ cost of management and promotion and in an interest charge larger than It pays on its other borrowings. The government is not going Into competition with companies in the sale of large or speculative annuities. The Idea is not Investment, hut protection. These annuities are intended for those of moderate means, and do not provide more than a sum required to provide the annuitant with tiie necessaries of life. The largest annuity that can be bought is ?600 a year. He who wishes to provide forte, larger income must go elsewhere and pay for the accommodation given him. Those who wish to be sure of an income of from ?B0 to ¥600 a year can make their arrangements with the government, which is | looking for no profit, and Is taking no pay for transacting the business. The chair was taken by Mayor Selous, who introduced the lecturer in a few apt phrases. HAS KEY TO MYSTERY COOK IN STEINHEIL HOME FIGHTS FOR MISTRESS. CHANGES IN FRENCH TRIAL PROCEDURE PROBABLE. PARIS, Nov. 10.—At the conclusion of the Steinheil case Minister of Justice Barthou will propose certain changes of procedure ln the trial courts of France. This decision of tne minister was made known today. He is Influenced largely by the censure* in England and America of the French methods now in vogue through the operation of which the presiding Judge appears in the role of prosecutor. No servant ever fought more loyally for her mistress than did Maleua Wolf, the cook in the Steinheil household, when called today as a witness in the trial of Mine. Steinheil for the murder of her husband und stepmother. After the judge had led her through a labyrinm of contradictory statements he suddenly challenged the witness with this abstract irom her original deposition: '■When Mme. Steinheil learned that her husband was dead she ejaculated, \m last 1 am free.'" Without the least hesitation the servant replied, "No; I have been misquoted. What madame said was 'At last I am alone.1" Tlie witness stated that the wife was devoted to her husband. Next to the prisoner Marietta Wolf excited the most Interest in the court room, as in the popular mind she is suspected of holding the key to the mystery of the Steinheil home. Further testimony to the advantage of the defendant was developed from the witnesses who followed. A nurse who cared for the widow after the murders and who had testified originally that Mme. Steinheil'B illness at the time appeared to her to be feigned, today testified to the contrary. Another of the witnesses was Maurice Borderel, the wealthy merchant and former friend of tne prisoner. One of the motives alleged against Mme. Steinheil was a desire to rid herself of her husband in order that she might marry Borderel. The merchant's testimony was distinctly favorable to his old time companion. Despite the revelations concerning the woman's character Borderel could not be shaken in his conviction that she was wholly Innocent. D0UKH0B0R SETTLERS HUNDREDS OF ACRES TO BE SET TO FRUIT. COLONIES ON COLUMBIA, KETTLE AND KOOTENAY. R. M. Wlnslow, provincial horticulturist, and M. S, Mlddleton, assistant horticulturist in the Kootenay, visited the Castlegar district and the Doukhobor settlement ln that neighborhool, on Monday. They were well pleased with the appearance ot the ranches ln that district, and with the progress being made in development. Several hundred acres wilt _a set to fruit next spring. The Doukhobor society is making notable progress. At Brilliant, where tney ho. !i,S00 acres, they have ubout 20o acres planted to apples nnd peaches. More than twice this area will be plunted to fruit next season. A notable feature is tiie 20 acres of side-hill lund planted to graces. This trnct has a southwestern exposure, and the vines look very promising indeed. A $15,000 Irrigation system ia being installed, to water the entire property. Large reservoirs are being built of cement on each side of the three benches, and from these the water will be carried In pipes to all parts. The Doiikhobors has also 2,900 acres at Grand Forks, and 1,10(1 acres on the south side of the Kootenny river, opposite Thrums stutlon. At these points clearing operations are very active. About 000 Doiikhobors reside at tlrllliani, about 200 nt Grand Forks, and about 50 on the Kootenay, RETALIATORY TARIFF. United States Vessels Must Now Pay Harbor Dues. OTTAWA, Nov. 10.—As the result of the provision in the new United Slates tariff wiping out the reciprocal arrangement which has existed since 1885 exempts vessels from either country on the great lakes from paying harbor dues while in the port of a foreign country, the Canadian government has passed an order in council wiping out the exemption on the Canadian side and imposing on United States vessels a similar tonnage tax to that Imposed In the Payne tariff on Canadian vessels trading from Ontario ports. Hereafter harbor masters' dues will be collected on all American vessels entering Canadian ports. In 1885, during President Arthur's administration, reciprocal arrangements were made by which the tonnage tax on the great lakes was mutually abrogated. The Payne tariff last month restored the tax in force prior to 1885 and Imposed a tax up to 10 cents per ton per year on Canadian vessels entering American ports. Canada has promptly retaliated. The scale is, however, not very high. The maximum tax is $5 on vessels of TOO tons and over, and cannot be collected more than twice a year. EDDY FINANCES. Financial Settlement Arranged In the Family of Christian Science Leader. BOSTON, Mass., Nov. 10.—A family settlement, involving $300,000, between Mrs. Mary Baker G.

J., Nov. 10.—An Interesting legal question is a sequel today of the autopsy performed last night on the body of Robert Simpson, tlie hynotic subject whom Arthur Evsr- ton, a hynotlst, failed to restore after placing him In a trance. The autopsy disclosed that Simpson's death was due to a rupture of the aorta. To just what measure of responsibility, if any, Everton will finally be held by the law is a question which is puzzling the legal experts.

Published at Nelson Bvery Morning Except Monday, by News Publishing Company, Limited W. G. McMORMS Manager <fQNJ0NWfl%Bl TIMBER POLICY There is one portion of premier McBride's policy which should find special fiivor throughout the province and nowhere more than in the Kootenays and that Is his stand ln regard to special timber licenses. Mr. McBrlde luas announced that If his government is relumed to power these licenses will be made perpetual, or at least good nu* til the timber has been removed. There is nothing uncertain about the premier's declaration on this matter. It Is straight and to the point and has been made at Revelstoke, at Nelson and at other places where he has spoken. This much of the government's timber policy has been decided upon ami the accompanying details will be as soon as the report of the timber and forestry commission, which recently held sessions In different parts of the province, has been presented. The details, whatever they may be, will look toward the conserving of the province's forest wealth amd im particular the protection of the timber now standing from the ravishes of fire. On this question, as on all others, the policy of the government is clear cut and definite. There Is no quibbling. The special licenses are to be granted in perpetuity, or until the timber has been removed. The holders of timber know exactly where the government stands on this matter as does also the general public. The government presents Its policy amd asks the verdict of the people upon it. PUBLIC WORKS An object lesson In regard to the progressive policy of the McBrlde government in the matter of public works Is afforded by the plan recently enunciated by Hon. Thomas Taylor by which it is proposed to construct a malm trunk road from the coast to the Alberta boundary by way of the Crow's Nest Pass. ThiB road will prove of immense advantage to the whole of southern British Columbia but to no port more than to East Kootenay, for the portion of it which will first be ready for through traffic will be that running rrom Creston to Alberta. This will give the connection bo long desired between tbe various towns and settlements which have within the past few years sprung up along the Crow's Nest Pass railway line. While perhaps few. If any, will ever undertake to drive tlie full length of this road the people of the different sections through which it will pass will find ithe portion of It in their immediate vlcinKy of tho greatest possible service.. What is true of the section of the trunk road In East, Kootenay is equally true of the portion between the Koot- emuy river and the coast. It also will connect up various towns and settlements, providing a good highway for any and everyone who 'has occasion to travel it. It should, however, be remembered that thls trunk road does not by any means include the whole of the government's road building policy in southern British Columbia. Feeders for the proposed malm trunk road will be built where required and in addition the requirements of other sections through which the main road does not pass will ihe met. This vigorous program of road building does not mean that trail- building will be neglected, nor that bridges will not be provided with all dispatch possible. So far as the latter are concerned It may be pointed out that ln this country it ls impossible to do much road or trail construction without doing an Immense amount of bridge building, more, proportionately, than in any other portion of Canada. The return to power of the government means the carrying Into effect of its comprehensive program of road, bridge and trail -bundling, of which tlie trunk highway across the province forms part. On Nov. 25 the people of the Kootenays and the Boundary will be asked to say by their votes whether or not they approve of this being done. GOVERNMENT ANNUITIES Those who attended Dr. Samson's lecture on the dominion government's annuity scheme last evening heard an able and exceedingly Interesting exposition of the plan which has been, placed before the people of this counti? to enable those who desire to do so to provide for old age, at a minimum of cost and with a maximum of security. It Is unquestionably the duty of every man to provide against a penurious old age. Many a man in affluent circumstances In the prime of life finds himself tn his closing days in straitened circumstances, perhaps a charge on the community, as a result of business reverses or on account of other reasons. The scheme which the dominion government put Into effect at the beginning of the present year enables every one so disposed to provide for at least enough to live on for the balance of his life through the payment of a comparatively small sum annually, or in bulk, as the person taking out the annuity chooses. While tlie scheme Is for the benefit of all classes of people it is especially advantageous to young people, who by the payment into the government treasury of what most people In this country regard as a trifling sum, can assure themselves of an annual fixed Income beginning at a time of life when they are most likely to need it. Things may turn out that a man may not need the annuity in hie declining days, but if he Is assured of Jt he will at least, be able to look with confidence to the future knowing that ho matter what may happen It is provided for, because there is mo danger of the government becoming bankrupt or going out of business. The money will be there for him at the time specified. If he needs it well and good; If he does not, so much the better, but it will still be there. NOMINATION DAY Today the candidates In the various rldings will be formally placed in nomination amd two weeks from today the electors of. the province will say whether or not the McBrlde government is to be returned to power to carry into effect its railway policy and continue tbe progressive program which has done so much for the province tn the past six years',. Of the result there can be no reasonable doubt, in many of the ridings liberal candidates have been placed in the field just for the sake of preventing the seat going by acclamation and thus revealing to tiie people of the provinoe the weakness of the opposition. It is a case of trying to put up a pretence of strength where there Is no strength. Many of these liberal candidates will be ducky tf they save their deposits. But even with the efforts that have been made by the liberal campaign management 'to put a man In the field ln every riding It Is quite possible that some seats may yet go hy acclamation. Today, however, wiil tell this, so that It would be unwise to make any predictions in this respect. But even if there Is a fight In every constituency the result will be the same, an overwhelming majority for premier McBrlde and progress. EDITORIAL NOTES - Vote for Wright and progressive government. Rossland will rally around Braden on election day. Two weeks from tonight it will be Mr. Harry Wright, M.RP. z Caven cannot lose in Cranbrook if his supporters do their duty in the next two weeks. The building of 900 miles of railway, as proposed 'by the McBrlde government, means prosperity for British Columbia. Mr. Harry Wright has mode an efficient government agent He will also make an efficient representative of Neleon in the legislature. The Kaslo Kootenalan says: "One of the banners at the Vancouver convention bore the legend 'Oliver—AH Over.' How prophetic. After the 25th, it will be 'All over with Oliver'." Mr. A. M. Oliver is going to put the people of Ymir to the inconvenience of going to the polls on election day. However, they would do more than that to show their appreciation of Mr. James Schofield and his work for his constituents during the past three years. It Is said that an emissary of the lib- eral party left this city for Kaslo last evening in order to try to induce someone to oppose Mr. Neil Mackay In that constituency. He may find someone willing to make the sacrifice, but if so the man who does will be minus his deposit om tbe evening of election day. It .may be that the parenthesis around Mr, B. A. Crease's name on the sign indicating the location of the liberal committee rooms Indicates that the name is something which can be left out. Whether or not this is so. Mr. Crease's name will be left out of consideration by the vast majority of. tlie electors of Nelson when marking their ballots two weeks from today. The painter who prepared the large sign showing where the liberal committee rooms are certainly had an excellent Idea of the fitness of things. Anyone who looks at the sign cannot fail to see that Mr. Crease's name 18 in parenthesis; tn other words that Mr. Crease's name Is merely used parenthe- Fred Irvine &'Co.

The question which the people of Nelson must answer at the polls on election day Is whether or mot they approve of the McBrlde government's record during the fast six years -and desire its continuance and whether or not they desire to see premier McBrlde's railway policy carried Into effect. Mr. E. A. Crease has been for over a dozen yearB a resident of Nelson. what has he ever done In all that time that would justify the people of Nelson In sacrificing their Interests at this particular time by electing him a member of the legislature?
