LONDON, Jan. 22—England is becoming seriously alarmed over the accumulating evidence that the ."Black Death" has secured a firm foothold In the country. It Is not alone that the rata all over the Island are unquestionably thoroughly Infected, it is beginning to be clear now tbat many men, women and children have died of the disease, their Illness simply having been wrongly diagnosed by the attending physicians. Death From Plague Expert Investigation has practically proven that cases' of supposed pneumonia as far -back as 1896 were really plague and a correspondent of Tht) Times for whose authority the newspaper vouches takes the the despondent view that they will never succeed in freeing England entirely of this- plague which has found, so insidious an entry 'It seems probable," says the London Express in a discussion of the same subject, "that tbe extermination of ra*s is in Itself a hopeless task and no more than a slight palliative." Cases Increasing While It is true that the number of cases of disease among human being* is not yet very large, medical authorities are agreed that they are increasing rapldl . The fact that the complaint In England tends not' to take the bubon'.c but the pneumonic form, In which the inhalation of infected ibreath even at a considerable distance, is sufficient to transmit the contagion, Ib not a re.is suring feature of the situation.

GREAT CONTEST WILL OPEN ON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1 Knights of Pythias of Greenwood Named for Piano by Miss Arnold -Creston Citizens Will Endeavor to Capture Both the Grand Prize and Organization Piano-Cranbrook and Fernie^Will Name Strong Candidates.

Creston Wants the Honors. Always alive to every opportunity to boost for their city and Its citizens, the people of Creston have apparently resolved tbat the chance afforded by The News contest shall,not be overlooked. Several nominations have been received from there already, and they Include some of the most popular and representative ladles and gentlemen of that prosperous and rapidly growing community. The fact that the friends of some of the candidates have already sent in money to be credited on their subscriptions, and requesting that their favorites be given the votes, is ample evidence that Creston will be very much In earnest when the contest opens. Of course these over-enthusiastic friends were told that no money can be accepted until after Feb. 1. Quite a number of Creston residents were in Nelson Saturday and tbey all agree that Creston will make strenuous efforts to carry off the big prizes. Delegates returning from tbe associated boards convention say that the work of the convention and The News contest were the sole subjects of discussion there last week, and the visitors were assured that If Creston did not win tho grand prize it would be due to an earthquake, a tornado, or a tidal wave. A Cranbrook man, who Is a booster for his city all tbe time, Informed the Creston enthusiasts tbat the tidal wave would hit them nil right and that It would be the flood of Cranbrook votes. Fernie Will Be a Factor A number of letters and messages were received by tbe contest office from Fernie Friday and Saturday Inquiring about the candidates already nominated from, there and asking if nominations will be open after the opening date. It was explained. that candidates may enter at any time up to the close of the campaign, but tbat (he reducing vote schedules make It import ant tbat the best work be done early In the contest" It seems to be tbe dispo sltion of the Fernie enthusiasts to rally around the strongest available candidate, with tbe Idea of keeping the Fernie vote solid for one person, rather than dividing It among two or' three. In fact it looks as if the metropolis of the Crow will stir things up from the first day to the last one. MIsb Arnold for the K. P.'s. A telegram was received from Greenwood last night to the effect that if Miss Marguerite Arnold wins the grand prize she will award the $500 Mason & Rlsch piano to the Knights of Pythias lodge of Greenwood. A letter which came in Saturday night contained the information that Miss Arnold may be depended upon to make a whirlwind, race, and it is probable that it Ib the Greenwood candidate the Phoenix man had reference to the other day when he declared that his town would look for more dangerous opposition from Greenwood than from Nelson or the other points in this section. ^.nTum NO. 237 GOVE ABOLISH HEAD TAX Admit Limited Number of Chinese Free —Opium Smugglers Subscribe to Anti-opium League _ (Special to The Daily News.)

In this letter Mr. Mclnnes said that while Hon. William Templeman might be qualified to decide upon western affairs In general he was not qualified to deal with Chinese matters, while he, the witness, knew more atout Chinese affairs than any other Canadian.

WHEAT MAY BE PUT ON FREE LISTI Report That Reciprocity Treaty Will , Include Free Wheat—Canadian Millers Are Hostile. TORONTO, Jan. 22—Whole of Canada today from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ib much exercised about a report from Washington that wheat will be put on the free list by the trade treaty which Is in course of preparation at Washington today. The report is not definite but the rumor Is sufficiently verified to get the Dominion talking. The free entry of Canadian wheat into the United States was one of the big things asked by the farmers' delegation the other day. Canadian millers on the other hand are not favorable on the whole. Robert Melghen of the Lake of the Woods Milling Co., is reported from 'Montreal this morning as Baying: "Free wheat would be the most disastrous catastrbphe that could happen to this country."

The Herpiclde Girl Is Thankful I am always grateful for real blessings, and I know of nothing that I need to be more thankful for than Newbro's Herpiclde. Thousands of ladles not only In me United States but all over the world feet tlio same way about It. To this wonderful scalp and hair remedy they owe their soft, long, beautiful hair. Mary j. Terry, ot Lovejoy, III., writes; My hair came out until there was just a scanty cover for the scalp. I tried everything 1 bad heard or read about until I finally used Herpiclde. There Is nothing like It, My head ls now covered with new hair. I shall forever praise Herpiclde." Most hair troubles come from dandruff. Newbro's Herpiclde removes this dandruff by killing the germ which causes it, It also stimulates a flow of blood which nourishes the follicles. The scalp being healthy, the hair does not come out ana the new hair la allowed to grow. There are other preparations which tbey say are "Just as good" as Herpiclde. It Is not advisable to try them. Instead of doing any good they may do positive harm. No one Is ever disappointed In Newbro's Herpiclde. The results are always the , same, always satisfactory as Indicated by the fact that Herpiclde has been sold for years and has thousands of satisfied friends. It Is the only genuine, original dandruff germ destroyer. There is nothing "just as good." One dollar size bottles are sold and. guaranteed by all druggists.

Westminster and their statement that in five years they will have a population of 25,000, comes the announcement of the Western Steel Corporation that they .have purchased 1800 acres below the city on the south bank of the Fraser and will have a city of 50,000 people in five years When the president of on e of our great railway systems stated a few years ago that -there would be mills, elevators, wharves and great industrial plants from Port Haney to the mouth of the river. 20 miles, it tartled even the optimists. Already this whole distance is sold by the foot frontage and most of It has been bought for industrial purposes. New Westminster stands In the gatewny to Vancouver, the central pivotal point from which all transportation lines branch out, with a network of fast electric lines In every direction, with splend'd schools, colleges, exhibition grounds and beautiful natural surroundings. The householder can -buy everything direct from the farmers of the great Fraser valley in what is rapidly becoming the greatest city market in Canada. Vancouver capitalists who are now putting up buildings In New Westminster claim that living is from 25 to 35 per cent cheaper In New Westminster than Vancouver. All these points count with the manufacturer. Consequently we say that no other city In Canada of 16,000 people has such magnificent resources, nor such certainty of rapid development.

A. junior basketball team went down to defeat but not disaster In Saturday evening's contest with the High school (Red) team when they met In friendly contest to decide the merits of their respective organizations. Tbe opinion was expressed and waB shared by many that the game was the fastest and moat Interesting one to watch yet played on tho gymnasium floor and both teams are to be congratulated on their knowledge of the finer points of basketball playing. The closing score was ]C-H In favor of the High school team, and the close nature of the finish and equal ability of both teams is evidenced by the fact that at the call of time the score was 1-1-14 mm the game was continued beyond the regular limit to enable the announcement of a winning team. The excellent team work of the "Reds'' during the second half enabled them to pull up even with their opponents' score who in the first half had the best of the game. The checking throughout was splendid, and white and red were in close attendance on each other In every position but the penalties were few. The majority of the goals were won on the field play, A. W. Seaman for the winners, and Waldo Ferguson for the losers, securing the maximum number. Each Individual member of both teamB played well and hard right up to the finish and the only point ot criticism was In the shooting of the ball at the basket. Either team could have won on points if the shooting had been as good as their other play. Further practice would remedy this, and the player who la accurate and quick In his shots Is worth his place on any team for that If for no other reason. Newitt was scheduled to play centre for the "Reds" but his recent accident at the High school when making chemical experiments prevented his appearance. The line-up was as follows: High School Centre Y Juniors H. GIbbs / J. Ferguson Forward Left C. Grlzelle A. Graham Forward Right H. Pitts W. Ferguson Guard Right W. Seaman A. Emory Guard Left R. Decew d. McQuarrie Jnmes Thompson, the physical director, was referee and awarded an extra point to the Reds during the game consequent on a goal being scored from a foul of one of the team when shooting. Rev. ,L P. Westman was timekeeper, and Dick Turner official scorer. There was a good attendance of parents and friends of the boys to watch their efforts. LADIES PRACTICE AT RINK TONIGHT Prepare for Wednesday's Big Game With Rossland—How Rovers Will Go on Ice The Nelson ladies' hockey team will hold their final practice between 7 and 8 o'clock tonight in preparation for tbe first game of the season which takes place on Wednesday evening when the Rossland ladles will be their opponents on the local ice. A big turn out of aspirants for a place on 'the team is expected and it Is likely that tbe management will have no little difficulty in selecting a team as the amount of material available this Beason Is greater than ever. Every practice develops new hockey stars among the members of the ladles' organization and it ought not to be difficult to get together a junior or intermediate team in addition to the senior organization. As already announced there will be a double header on Wednesday evening, the Nelson Rovers being scheduled to play the Rossland jun'.ors at the conclusion of the game between the green and .white ladies and those from the Golden City. The lineup of the Rovers will be: Goal, Tom Boyes; point C. Grlzzelle; cover, Taffy Cummins; rover, Fred Grant; centre, Jack Grant; left wing, Waldo Ferguson; right wing, Johnnie Ferguson. The RosBland hoys have wired that they are .bringing ovjr a pretty strong bunch but the local fellows feel that with a lineup like the above they ought to be able to hold down anything in the way ot a legitimate junior team that the mining city aggegation can bring down the hill. Bob Bishop will probably referee both games AT THE RINK There will be the usual two sessions of skating at the rink this afternoon and evening.

GRAND FORKS DEFEATS GREENWOOD HOCKEY TEAM (Sneclal to The Pally News.) PHOENIX, B.C., Jan. 22-^At Grand Forks on Friday night the home team defeated Greenwood at hockey by a score of 4-0. This places Grand Forks and Phoenix even in the race for the SPORTING 8POTLIGHTS The members ot the Ladles' and the Rovers hockey team who are to take part in the double header on Wednesday night with Rossland aggregation are meeting with good success in the sale of tickets for the event. There'3 nothing like a ladles' game to draw a crowd. The Nelson curlers are just 'tickled to death with the reception accorded them on the occasion ot their visit to Cranbrook and say that they never had a more enjoyable time in their lives. The Ice at the curling rink on Saturday evening was covered with a thin layer of water which prevented play. The sheets seemed to be hardening up a little last night, however, and it is hoped that the 'enthusiasts of the roarln' game will be able to enjoy a few ends tonight. The management of the skating rink is to 'be congratulated upon the success attending the band concert at the link on Saturday, might. The large crowd of skaters present and the expressions ot appreciation ot ithe innovation heard on all sides should encourage them to make a Saturday night band a regular thing. The ice was pretty soft but the temperature ls steading up again and a full six days skating is hoped for-thls week. So the high school boys won from the Y.M.C.A. Juniors on Saturday night. But the game waB very closely fought and neither side ever had a chance to walk away Both teamB are now eager for another match so that the superiority of one or other ot the fives may he decided. Of course Dosey Newitt's absence from the high school team may have had something to do with the closeness of the score.

BASEBALL MAGNATES' MEETING BROKE UP IN SQUABBLE CALGARY, Jan. 22—The baseball meeting this afternoon broke up In a racket after 15 minutes discussion and there will he no more Western Canada league as it previously existed. There will probably be a split-up and an Alberta league taking In Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbrldge and probably Medicine Hat as a fourth team. The meeting was nt loggerheads from tbe opening this afternoon. A wire was received from Saskatoon which stated thdt they would not pay their deficit until Zimmerman wns handed over to them. It was then suggested that they be put out of the league. It was next proposed that the other club's debts be settled nnd tiie Brandon representative moved that drafts to be sent out be paid within 10 days and that a meeting be held in Winnipeg during the bonsplel. This was what really started the-trouble. Delegate Hornibrooke said that this was the annual meeting and that matters were supposed lo be settled now. If It was proposed to hold another meeting at Winnipeg, Calgary would not be In the league. Shuster said Calgary wbb trying to hog the league. He said he did not think Calgary would be In the league and he would work to keep it out. The Edmonton delegate was supporting Calgary and it is altogether likely that teams will split up aa outlined above and there will be an eastern league composed of Saskatoon, Regina, Moose Jaw, while Brandon, Portage La Prairie and Winnipeg will likely constitute a western Canadian league with Weatherstone ot Brandon as president. Alberta cities consisting of Leth bridge, Medicine Hat, Calgary and Edmonton will form probably an independent league or an international league comprised of Alberta and Montana cities.

WOULD SHUT OUT THE SALMO SALAR Mr. Cocke Against Introducing Atlantic Salmon and Eastern Brook Trout A strong position against the Introduction of eastern game fish Into Kootenay waters is taken by J. W. Cockle, the well known naturalist of Kaslo Mr. Cockle touched on this question ut the associated boards of trade at Creston, when supporting the Kaslo rear)-1 lution for a dominion fish hatchery fur the Kootenay, a resolution which was, unanimously adopted. Mr. Cockle stopped off at Proctor, to go Up to Kaslo yesterday, but on the trip over dlscu;-.;- ed the Question more fully, for publication: "The report of the Hoard of trade meeting published in The Daily News of Jan. 18," said Mr. Cockle, "contains an extract of n letter from Hon. L. P Brodeur, containing his suggest'on for placing fish fry of the Salmonldae specie In the Kootenay waters, and entirely disregarding the quest'on of ill*) erection of a local fish hatchery. His suggestion is that the department of fisheries will send supplies of eastern brook trout fry and European salmon for liberation. "Regarding the first of these species, the eastern brook trout, Salvellnus Fon- timalis, ls a true char and as such is not to be compared either as a game or food fish with the true salmon. In fact, along the waters of the Kootenay. to suggest that any trout that might be caught was a char, would be to brand it at once as of sufficiently poor quality to render it uneatable. "There are several physiological reasons why it would be unwise to introduce into the western waters any other species of Salvellnus than those already there, but I will not trouble you with them. Suffice to say we do not want any eastern brook trout. Salmon Salar "We next come to the suggestion of the introduction of the Atlantic salmon. Salmon Salar,. This grandest of fishes might, or might not prove adaptable to such environment as the water of Kootenay lake but if I may be allowed to express an opinion, it would have to be in the negative, for the reason that this salmon Is a migratory fish, always running down to salt water, and returning again to apnwn. I can only presume that the fisheries department Is familiar with the conditions that exist along the waterway of the Kootenay river b2- tween Nelson and Robson, where the falls of the river are impassaible for any fish. The supposition would therefore be that after reaching the parr stage, many of the fry would naturally seek the ocean and when returning would be greatly dep'eted by the salmon nets of the Columbia river fishermen in I no states of Oregon and Washington, and the few which escaped would ultimately lose their lives in an attempt to scale the surging height of llonnington fails. Hatchery True Solution The true solution of the question is build a hatchery and then, If you want to, send tbe fry of Kootenay's celebrated salmon to stock other inland waters as well as your own. Next to the Sa! mon Salar, our Salmo Kamloops. variety Kootenai, is the grandest fish in tbe world, and when we have an Indigenous fish of such superb quality, ■both as a game and table fish, why ask us to accept anything as an experiment, which, if entirely successful would prove no belter, and which would stand the chance of being a miserable failure?

INDIAN RESERVES Throughout southern British Colum bla there are a number of Indian re serves the population of which Inn diminished until in many cases a few families or even only half a dozen individuals are occupying choice area; of land that might support a compara tively large number of people. In some cases these areas are within city His Its.or close to them. The Songhees reserve is an instance. It was practically in the heart of Victoria. A similar reserve is to be found in or at Vancouver. Others might be mentioned less striking but not less Inherently absurd. There is no particular reason why this state of affairs should be allowed to continue in any case until the resulting Ill-effects become as acute aB in the case of the Songhees reserve. The disposal of that land would have been much easier had it been undertaken earlier. A. general policy might be adopted of clearing up the Indian title to reserves whenever the area of a reserve comes to be out of reasonable proportion to the number of Indians upon it or whenever its value Is out of reasonable proportion to the UBe they make of it. THE NEW CANADIAN NATION. Three hundred thousand Immigrants will come to Canada during the present year, says tbe Minister of the Interior. He should be able to make a good guess; and if his estimate may prove over the mark It may also prove to be under. With the volume of immigration that has come in for some years and that ■will undoubtedly continue for many more years, the composition of the Canadian nation has much changed and will be in a sense transformed. Three hundred thousand people is a population equal to that of the whole province of British Columbia, and is about equal to the population of Alberta. It is much more than the population of Manitoba or Saskatchewan was but a short time ago. In the prairie provinces ten or fifteen years ago the population was mainly drawn from eastern Canada and particularly from certain parts of Ontario which in turn had been settled chiefly from Scotland and the north of Ireland. The western Canadians of that time are but a small percentage of the population of today. Tbey have been reinforced by further Immigration from tbe eastern provinces; but today nine-tenths of the people are from tbe British Isles, from the continent of Europe or from the United States. They have been Canadianlzed or are becoming so. This has been possible partly because cabinet ministers, school teachers and others occupying what may be termed, formative positions have been and are mainly native Canadians; and partly because aa each year's Influx was assimilated it became itself an assimilating force. Still the composition of the people has changed. The Canadian nation of twenty years hence wilt be of different stock, will have come from different homes, and will be the product of a different heredity and environment, as compared with the Canadian nation of twenty years ago. The eastern provinces were settled mainly from two sources: Loyalists of German and of British stock came from the American colonies. Other settlers came from the British isles. There were practically no Immigrants from the continent of Europe except a few Prussians,—no Hungarians, Poles, Galiclans or Russians. The immigration from the British iBles included some settlers from England but was mainly from Scotland and the north of Ireland. Today the immigration we get from the United States Is partly of the orig inal stock but very largely also of Scandinavian origin. The Immigration from the British isles is now mainly from England; very few settlers on the farm now come from Scotland or Ireland. In addition there is the continental immigration. Broadly speaking the new Canadian nation will have a smaller element of Scotch and north Irish origin and a larger element of English and Scandi* navlan origin. There will also be a larger element ot American origin, that Is of stock which has lived in the United States for several generations. And there will be a small percentage of east and south European origin. Those of ua who may be here twenty years from now may find it interesting to observe what corresponding changes may take place in national characteristics, temperament and customs.

THAT PAPER APPLE INCIDENT To the Editor of The Daily News: Sir—if the Victoria Times stated on Jan. 7 that no prlze fruit went from the first Canadian National Apple show at Vancouver, I am able to declare that, so far as the Kootenays are concerned the statement is absolutely falsV A very large nunnber of boxes of apples which had won prizes at that show were selected and the names of the growers hooked in my presence by Messrs Sco;t and Brandreth, I oan name 83 boxes of fruit grown by Messrs Doyle & Macdonald, Bealby, JameB Johnstone, Ap- pieton, Spiers, Ruthenford, A. Hcott, Fauquier and Tripp which were sent to London, every box of which won a prize, either singly or as part of a three box, five box or ten ibox competition. The tons et orlgo of the statement would appear to be that indicated bv Mr. Johnstone, F. r. E. DeHart, manager ot the Kelowna exhibits at Vancouver when asked by Mr. Scott what apples he would be able 'to contribute to iLonaon, replied that the matter had been under discuss'.on by the K3l- owna board of trade and they agreed that, as Kelowna in previous years had (he alleged) contributed 75 per cent of 'the fruit which was exhibited at tbe Royal Horticultural society's colonial exhibitions, they had resolved that unless a Kelowna man, or at any rate ah Okanagan man was sent along with it that time (December, 1910) not a single box of Kelowna fruit would be given to the provincial government. And as a matter of fact not a single box of Kelowna apples did go to London m December, 1910. What was the resuliV The British Columbia government exhibit was awarded the Hogg gold medal, a unique distinction, never before awarded in the .history of the society— a distinction only awarded for extraordinary merit, if Mr. DeHart's statement that in preceding years Kelowna contributed 75 per cent of the British Columbia government's display, were correct, it is fair to argue that that exhibit would have been of higher quality had tbe Kelowna proportion been smaller, seeing that, when Kelowna sent no fruit at all the British Columbia government exhibit won the very highest award obtainable, an award of altogether distinguishing value. But Mr. DeHart's statement, that Kelowna contributed In previous years 75 per cent of .the total exhibit sent by the provincial government is incorrect. Mr. Scott stated to me and to Mr. Hono- berger that Kelowna'g contribution iu years preceding 1910 was about 25 pe: cent of the whole. Even so, -my argument still holds g°Od, but Kelowna's credit is higher than Mr. DeHart's erroneous statement would claim for her. Finally, accepting for the moment the statement of the Victoria Times as cor- reot, what does it amount to? It amounts to this: .When the British Columbia government with fru't not of the highest quality (all prize fruit according to the statement being withheld) wins the Hogg gold medal, what award would have been adequate as recognition had, they sent the very ibeBt fruit that -the'province produces. It's an 111 bird that fouls its ain nest. From thU one statement of the Victoria Times deduce the accuracy of Its other statements. ' J. T. BEALBY. Nelson, B.C., Jan. 18,1911. MRS.

BUILtlING STILL REMARKABLY ACTIVE Winter Causes No Letup in Building Activities—West Has Splendid Showing. The winter season letup in building operations held in anticipation by the more pessimistic has as yet failed to put In Us appearance. Judging from the recent state of activities, the Canadian builder no longer cares the snap of his finger for the froat, the snow or the sweep of the wind. Experience has taught him to meet weather conditions as they come and his work is no longer confined to specific seasons, but one that k'eeps him busy from one end of the year to the other. Nothing more clearly demonstrates this than the comparative figures for the month of November, submitted to Construction from 24 important centres throughout the Dominion. These figures show a most gratifying state of progress on practically all sides, with individual gain in some cases such as has never before been attained In the history of the community they represent. An average gain of 64 per cent, representing an investment of 18,051,419, as against ¥4,719,564 in the corresponding year of 1909, tells them the story of the month'B progresa In brief, and while the amount noted is slightly leas than that recorded for October, It nevertheless Indicates a growth that ia well in keeping with the remarkable development that has characterized the season throughout. Possibly the most pronounced feature of the month was not so much the universal activity that obtained in general, as it waa the heavy proportionate gains made in all parts. Toronto, as is Its usual wont, stands well at the head of the list with an amount ot $2,040,030, a splendid total to top off the heavy successive gains already to her credit; while Vancouver registers an amount for permits issued of $1,897,895, which is a most remarkable showing in view of this city's paBt performance. These totals are the largest reported for the month, and the gains are 5 per cent and 211 per cent in order named. Although three more losses are noted than In the previous month, it must be remembered that the number ot cities reporting Is again one-third as great. Apart from Halifax's loss of 76 per cent and the decrease In Lethbrldge of 27 per cent, the falling off, collectively, little affecta the exceedingly active conditions which otherwise prevailed. The highest increase for the month goea to Port Arthur, whose mighty development is reflected In a gain of 1,263 per cent, representing an investment of $182,016 as compared with $13,350 In the month of November, 1909. Ontario, in fact, turned itself to good account in practically every direction. Berlin recorded an Increase of 365 per cent, Hamilton a gain of 44 per cent, and Brantford is ahead by 162 per cent. A big advance is also noted in the case of Fort William, which registered 198 per cent, and thlB is equally true of St. Thomas, which annexed a gain of 432 per cent. Fort William's total amounts to $411,- 480, which is $273,515 in excess of her previous corresponding figures. Again Ottawa, which witnessed operationa to the extent of $230,100, has an increase of 12 per cent; Windsor records a gain of 27 per cent, and Kingston, which does not submit comparative figures, reports operations of $23,965. The only two reversals noted in this province occur in the case of London and Peter- boro, but considering the investment in either cases these declines are of very small proportions. In the western section of the Dominion the headway made was equally pronounced. ~ Aside from Vancouver's phenomenal upturn previously noted, many of the cities reporting forged ahead in a most substantial manner. Especially can this be said in the case of Calgary, which undertook new work amounting to $590,604, equal to a gain of 197 per cent. This total, which is Blightly In excess of that noted in the previous month, speaks volumeB for the wonderful development which this city is experiencing. Edmonton, where a falling off of 16 per cent is noted, was, however, lesB fortunate; as was also the city of Lethbrldge, whose decrease has been previously stated.. In Saskatchewan, both Regina and Moose Jaw slightly topped their figures for the same period last year, the investment in each case being approximately $50,000. Prince Albert sends in a stated amount of $240,000 without corresponding figures for the previous year, while Saskatoon, which issues permits aggregating $184,210, shows a gain of 647 per cent. Substantial strides were also made in Winnipeg and Victoria, which have to their credit gains of 27 and 94 per cent In the order named.

DECLARES DIVIDEND | OF TEN PER CENT Meeting of Directors of British Colum- Iba Copper Company—Second Dividend Paid (Special to The Dally News.) PHOENIX, B.C., Jan. 22—At a meeting of the directors of the British Columbia Copper company in New York on Wednesday an annual dividend at the rate of 10 per cent was declared, payable on <Feb. l next. Aa the -company bas an Issued capllal of 503,000 shares, par $5, the disbrse- ment next mouth will amount to $62,875. This is the second dividend to be d.n- bursed by the British Columbia Copper company, the first having been disbursed In September, 1907, at the rate of 40 cents per share. The present dividend, when paid, will make the total amount returned to shareholders by the company $264,075. During the month of December the net earnings of the company amounted to approximately $25,000, as compared with $35,221 in the previous month. A considerably larger tonnage of low grade ore was run through the smelter In December than had ibeen customary. This brings the total net earnings of the company for the year 1910 up to $277,686. For the week ending Jan. 21 the company's smelter treated 12,215 tons of ore as follows: Mother Lode 6802 tons Jack Pot, 591; Rawhide, 4350; Napoleon m, - Your cough annoys you.

CREATION OF PEERS IS N0VHMPR0BABLE Home Rule Is Inevitable Says O'Connor —Negotiations Will be Difficult But Solution Expected {By T. P. O'Connor.) LONDON, Jan. 22—The first meeting of tbe first cabinet council marked the rear beginning of active business In the great .political battle which will come to a crisis in .the next parliament. This entrance of realities into politics has done much to end the era of speculation and flapdoodle threats by the Tory party. Already the situation Is much modified. For Instance, the Ulster bluster about armed resistance to home rule got a deadly blow through the special correspondent of The Daily Mall revealing that all of the stories about the purchase of arms on the continent were fabrications. The signs indeed multiply all round that home rule is inevitable and that the chief business of tho Tories will be to arrange such terms us will secure equality and justice to the Protestant minority. No such guarantees are 'necessary, as a matter of fact, but the Irish leaders are ready to ac cept any proposal in their desire to reconcile all Irishmen and to begin homo rule with a united national effort to rebuild the Irish nation. Lord Courtney Accepts The most remarkable incident of this week was the letter ot Lord Courtney formerly deputy speaker of the house of commons, and one of the most Important Liberals who split with Gladstone and home rule. Lord Courtney now accepts home rule as hear at hand and only stipulates that proportional representation—his favorite policy for many years—should be given an experiment In Ireland. . Mr. Redmond speaking at a great banquet In Dublin given to celebrate the success of Ms mission in America, gave a cordial reception to this suggestion, it is remarkable that without special pressure iby the Irish party or any large change of views, 'Uie Liberal Irish leaders having bad only a few communications for a week, everybody accapts the proposal that the home rule bill be made the first business of the session of .parliament next year. The Tories attempted to make a ai- version and trouble by suggesting that Buch a priority of home rule over the Welsh church disestablishment measure migbt cause a revolt of Welshmen but the Welshmen.repudiated these reports. In a couple of weeks from now Mr. Redmond and the Liberal leaders will certainly be In consultation in reference to tbe details of the new home rule bill. The negotiations are not without difficulties, especially In reference to tho, new financial arrangements between the two countries but with good will and good sense on both sides and the Immense ibond of a common campaign against the housej>f lords, there is little doubt that the two sides will find a satisfactory compromise. Insist on Referendum The feud among the Tories has reached a somnolent stage. Apparently Mr. Balfour is Insisting on the immediate acceptance of the policy of a referendum and the protectionists are agreeing but on the condition of regarding the whole question as academic and open till the Tories get into power again, when it can quietly be dropped out. Evidently the Tories are disorganized and divided and'do not show any sigus of putting up ,any big fight on the lords' veto. The government will find the ^re- amble of the bill promising a reform of the house of lords a difficulty with Its own party and a weapon In the hands of the opposition, ibut here again tho Importance of the house of lords' issue win enforce discipline. All sections of the coalition and even the Laborltcs may agree to allow the preamble lo pass as a pious opinion. The creation of new peers to swamp the lords lg believed every hour to be more distant. Ireland Jubilant I have just returned from a brief visit to Ireland. I found everybody there in excellent spirits,- partly because of recent events and the approach of home rule and partly because of Immense triumphs over the. O'Brien-Healy factions. All of the Liberals are equally optimistic and In short, the new session of parliament opens in higher hopes than for any time since the Gladstone and Parnell settlement for the Irish problem. N. L. U. 18 TO HAVE PAID PRESIDENT He Will Get Five Hundred Per Annum —Clubs Will Forfeit Bond If Break Engagements MONTREAL, Jan. 22.—Hereafter the National Lacrosse union ls to ba ruled oyer by a paid -resident, who will name the match officials, prepare the schedule, suspend players upon reports of referees, collect fines, etc. The new man ls to be paw $500 a year for his services, but no appointment was made, the matter being left over for a meeting to be held here next Saturday. Outside ot this, the most Important matter discussed at Saturday's meeting was the proposition to have each club put un bonds of $1,000 to be forfeitable to the union tn case It wilfully violates the constitution and bylaws or falls to keep engagements, save when prevented, to do so by -circumstances over which It has no control. Eventually the amount of tho bond was reduced to $500. W E. Foran of Ottawa, put un a hard fight against the appointment of a paid president, but tho sentiment of the meeting was distinctly In favor of the change. When the president Is unable to act, his place will he taken by the honorary president. Pete Murphy, of the Shamrocks, was named to fill the position. The reserve Investment was left over until tho annual meeting, but the contract- Jumping rule wns amended bo that the players who wont west can return. The clause forbidding clubs from paying fines Imposed unon players was dropped, It having been found of no effect. The onlj change made In the playing rules was a rule providing that a player of the opposing side may not go within the goal crease; nor may he check the goal tender within tho goal crease. Mlnard's Liniment Cures Diphtheria OTTAWA WINS MOST STUBBORN GAME After Furiously Past Struggle Beat Canadlens In Dramatic Overtime Play LeSueur'a Great Play OTTAWA, Jan. 22—After the most stubbornly contested struggle witnessed in Ottawa since the memorable match against tbe Kenora Thistles In 1905, the Ottawa hockey team defeated the Canadlens of Montreal at the local rink on Saturday night. It was not until 20 minutes overtime ihad been played that the peerless aggregation which wears the red, white and black succeeded In beating the fast French Canadians, a shot by Jack Darragh, carrom-ng against the skate of WalBh, landing in the net. The -final score was 5-4. Seven thousand spectators witnessed the, game, which for excitement had anything previously played this season completely eclipsed. It was certainly the fastest, though not the most brilliant match ever played in Ottawa. Close, hard checking, coupled with the remarkable speed of the visitors made It absolutely impossible for the homesters to scintillate with their usual team work. The Canadlens have never been able to wear medals for combination and tho three or four men attack system which the Ottawas are rapidly developing. Thus on this account It was a struggle In which Individual effort predominated. Furiously fast at all times It kept the rink full of spectators on the verge of nervous -collapse. The wonderful rally of the visitors in the third period, the gruelling overtime and the dramatic climax which followed the breaking of the tie, contributed to a game whicb ls not likely to be forgotten for years to come. In the third session and even in the first minute of the extra period, it looked as though the Ottawas were doomed to defeat, the phenomenal play of Lesueur and Walsh saving the locals, LeSueur Saves the Day On one occasion Newsy Lalonde of the visitors dodged both Shore and Lake and dashed In on LeSueur. If Lalonde had scored everything would have been over and the Ottawas would have been obliged to suffer defeat on their own ice. But LeSueur ruBhed out of goal and effected the most sensational save of his career. Lalonde threw up his hands In despair when he realized that the Ottawa goal tender had robbed him of undeniable fame. Subsequently the Ottawas pulled together and attack ed the citadel of the habitants with such speed and determination that it was only a quesion of time when they should settle the Issue. Condition had a lot to do with the disposition of the spoils, for while both teams were exhausted to the point of dropping, the Ottawas in the overtime, when the game was really won and lost, exhibited the greatest staying powers, it was nevertheless a grand showing for the French Canadians in Ottawa and a great victory for the home team.

HOODOO IS TOO MUCH FOR QUEBEC Are Beaten by Wanderers Five-Three— Quebec Made Mistake in Taking off Mallen QUEBEC, Jan. 22.—The Qucbecs were unable to pry themselves apart from the hoodoo Influence which the Wanderers always exert upon them, and the locals were accordingly beaten by the score of &-3 on Saturday. It Is a singular fact that the Quebec team, which has at various times Ibeaten the very best teams In the Dominion, have never been able to pull off a victory over the Wanderers, cither at home or abroad. Quebec played good hockey but in the opinion of hockey players very bad Judgment was exercised In taking off Mullen In the second period, this taking place only five minutes ufter he had scored one of the prettiest goals of the match. He was replaced by Joe Hall, who was utterly unable to do anything owing to his Injured shoulder, and who only lasted for a br.ef fierlod. Joe Power took his place, but the atter could not warm up speedily enough for the high pitch at which the game was then travelling. While Quebec might not have won had the changes not been made, the general opinion is that they would have made the visitors hustle harder to win and that they would iiavB had to score more goals than they did to win. The Wanderers did not give any evidence that they had gone back to any great extent, and they put up a hard, plugging game, keeping even with Quebec In the early stages and pulling ahead in the latter. The game was fast and exciting at all times and In doubt for a long period. The offences were not serious.

JOHN May Adopt Commission Form of Government—Great Drydock in Prospect ST. JOHN, N.B., Jan. 22—The latest evidence of the new spirit of pi ogress that has taken possession of the people of St. John Is found in an agitation for the adoption ot the commission plan of city government. ■ At present the city is governed .hy a mayor and 17 aldermen. Thirteen of the aldermen are elected hy the ward system and four are elected at large. The aldermen re* ceive ?200 per year and the mayor $1600. The system has outgrown Its usefulness and there is now a general determination to bring about a change. The question was taken up hy the advertising committee of the -board 'of trade, which entered into correspondence with more than GO cities in the United States having the commission plan of government and received from these -a mass of valuable information Th s was carefully studied and the committee submitted a report to the council of the board, urging that steps be takw to have a vote of the people o*i the adoption of the commission plan in St. John The council of the board endorsed tlu report and sent it to the city council urging that authority be secured from the legislature to take a plebiscite at the time of the next civic election in April. The city council tills week has agreed -to ask for power to take the plebiscite. Several other schemes have been suggested Including one for a board of control and another for a city council o,f smaller membership, but public opinion very strongly favors the commission plan. At all events ther will he a general shaking up and the citizens are giving more attention tc the question of civic government in these opening days of 1911 than thjy have ever given in the past. It is essentially a business men's movement, aimed at providing a system Which will facilitate the development of industry and growth of population. Bank Clearings The story of the bank clearings is pleasant reading for the citizens of St John. There was an increase in tha clearings in the city last year of $»,- 1)00,000 and <they have more than doubled in the past ten years. Making a comparison with the sister city of Halifax, it is shown that while the increase at Halfax in the last four years was a little over ?2,000,000, the Increase in St. John was more than $10.- 000.000. Taking up the clearings "or the first week of this year it is found that St. John stands third among all Canadian cities in the percentage pf increase In'-bank clearings over'the first week of 1910. The percentage of increase was 39.97 In Vancouver, 30.42 in Edmonton and 27 in St. John. Speaking of banks, the number of these institutions in St. John continues to increase. Following the announcement that the Merchants' bank of Canada had purchased a building,- and opened a branch, came the Union bank of Canada which also has secured premise-! and is opening a branch. Then the Traders' bank has ibeen looking over the situation and it is also rumored that the Imperial Is looking this way. The prospect that work on the construction of a great dry dock at St. John will be begun at an early date is improving. The Imperial Drydock company which was organizel at St. John some yearstago with a capital of $!;• 250,000 is now asking authority from the legislature to increase its Issue.of bonds to $3,500,000 for the purpose, :t is stated, of constructing a drydock at this port. Those interested in the company star!* that tbey will probably con- struct a dock of the first class at an ex penditure of ?3,000,000 or more. Ot course the federal government must be heard from before the project tak-ja final shape ibut it is believed satisfactory arrangements can he made. The Canadian Pac'fic railway company Is making an effort to secure more property adjoining that which it hag lately purchased at the head of the harbor and if this property is secured the expenditure by the company in terminals will, it is said, be greatly increased. It Is at this point the company will make provision for docking Its Bay of Ftmdy steamers and handling its local Nova Scotia trade. To provide such facilities as it requires will Involve a very large expenditure and will completely transform the appearance of that locality. Another Interesting development Is the purchase by a company of the New Victoria hotel on Prince William Btree' which will be converted Into a modern apartment house, with rooms single and en suite and with a dining room and general rooms for the convenience of the tenants. This Is a entirely new departure In St. John. The activity in real estate In St. John continues. There is an especially active movement on the eastern side of St. John harbor east, where it is expected the coming of the Grand Tru.uk Pacific and the construction ot the dry dock will lead to the building pu of a new town. At present there are merely scattered houses In that vicinity. The Btreet railway company has announced that It win tills year extend its line to Fernhill and also along the Crouchville road, where the new town is expected to ibe built, and this fact alone would considerably increase the value ot real estate there. In the city itself property is held at a much higher price than formerly. The histpric building on what Is called Chubb's Corner, near the po3t office, has Just been purchased by a syndicate which talks of installing an elevator and modernizing the structure, which Is now occupied by brokers, insurance men and lawyers, with a bindery on the top floor. Permanent Streets The city of St. John will continue this year the policy inaugurated last year of carrying on a system of permanent street construction. In addition to whatever sum Is expended on permanent paving the sum of $100,000 has been set aside for street repair work. Anot-h**.1 forward step is being taken by the safety board of the city In the revision of the city's building laws. With regard to the fire and police departments of the city it is noted that the expenditure on these two departments has been doubled in the last ten years. A number of large industrial propects appear to have been advanced a stage during the laBt few weekB. The Atlantic Sugar Refining company, which is to build a great refinery at St. John, Is advertising for a plant to be installed and this Is regarded as conclusive evidence that the company means business. Us plans and specifications have already been filed. It Is' announced that the Grand Falls Power company, in which Sir William Van Home is largely.(interested, has secured the rights of the rival company, and is preparing to begin development ot a great pulp and paper industry at the Falls. At the last meeting of the city council of Moncton the 'company concerned In the project assured tne council that natural gas would be brought into Moncton from the Albert oif'werls next'"summer and that the company Intended also to go on with the construction of the proposed street railway'i^ ihetown.

J. H. Ashdown Hardware Co. Ltd. Nelson Branch Baker Street Nelson, B. G. PREMIER ANSWERS _0PP0SITI0N Rural Papulation of Province Has Doubled In Five Years—Government's Policy The premier, Hon. R. McBride, made, an addreBs lasting about an hour and a half in the debate on the speech from the throne last week. He followed Mr. Brewster who Indulged in a long, general criticism of the government policy. The premier in opening referred to the address of Parker Williams on the previous day, saying that the tone of Mr. Williams' speech lowered the reputation he had gained for himself in previous sessions, The only ipoint he considered worthy of reply was the statement that the government had done nothln? since last session to provide for the safety of men in coal mines, it was sufficient answer that during the year the government had equipped .mines with the Draeger Bafety apparatus and the officials had 'been the first to assist in the work of rescue in the Bellevue disaster. Railway Building Mr. McBride, taking up the criticism of Mr. firewater's speech, dealt at some length with the accusation that he Jiad been false to his pledge in connection with the construction of the Canadian Northern railway on Vancouver island. He pointed out that it would have been easily possible t0 have the company build two or three miles of line, but lie wanted something 'permanent and satis-1 factory. During the past year surveyors had changed their plans and recommended a different route than first pro posed. Till their reports were complete it would have been most unwise to venture on any construction, whatever the political effect. If the Canadian Northern was to compete successfully with the C.P.R. It must have the easiest grades and a delay that secured such grades was well advised. Surveys for the first 20 or 30 miles were now complete and he had no doubt contracts would ibe let forthwith and grading proceeded with. Work on the mainland was going on well. All contracts for the coast division had been let and ne expected to see trains running over that section next fall. Contracts for grading the sections to Kamloops and lip the North Thompson were being called for and should be let within the year. Already the business for the province had been quickened by the Canadian Northern construction which had infused an atmosphere of optim'sm in all quarters and he had greatest confidence that the line would' be completed within the four years. In view of the continued delays in Grand Trunk Pacific construction it hardly became a follower of Sir Wilfrid Laurier 'to criticize the dealings of the government with the Canadian Northern. Not only had Mackenzie & Mann quickened railway construction, they had also undertaken other enterprises, such as the purchase of the piinemuir collieries and as a result it was their intention to Increase the output of the mines threefold and this would mean more employees and greater business. He was pleased 'to see that their ability had been recognized fn the capital of the empire by knighthood. Government's Land Policy Turning to the criticism of the land policy he pointed out that the rural population of ithe province had doubled within the past five years. That land was not held for speculators was shown by the fact that of 28,000,000 acres of la>nd available for agriculture in the province 23,000,000 acres had heen re served for pre-emption. While the government had realised large sums from land sales, the money had ibeen nut Into the development of rural districts by public works. The government did this because they recognized that settlement here was attended with difficulties unknown In the' prairie provinces. In this country the land most available and easy of settlement was that owned by the Dominion government in the railway belts of the C.P.R .and E. & N. railways and he asked .Mr. Brewster what the Dominion government had done to secure settlement ot these lands. The provincial government had received offers from colonization companies who wished to buy land at a nominal price and place settlers on It, But the government was of the opinion that it was their duty to do such work themselves and not en trust it to private companies. He declared that the government had dealt generously with rural schools which were more efficient under the School act than under the former system.- In conclusion he praised very highly the work of the forestry commission and fire Insurance \oomuiist- sion. & SALE EXTENDED FOR THREE DAYS Owing to the success attending our Unloading Sale, we have decided to extend the time for 1HREK DAYS ONLY \J V Hf J\ V/ \J J\ 1 j^ Winter Overcoats Q T T TT G 10 t0 25 Per Cent.

McDermid Baker Street Nelson, B.C. REDUCING EXPENSE OF CLEARING LAND How Arrow Lake Ranchers Apply Principle of Conservation— Mr. Fauquier Gives Illustration P. G. Fauquier, after spending a couple of days In Nelaon following the Creston convention of the Associated Boards ot Trade, left yesterduy morning for his runch at the Needles, via Nakusp. He will put in the present week pushing matters connected with the Ranchers* Union of the Arrow Lakes, of which he is president, ana expects to have definite Information on a number of points wlien again In Nelson, In about a week's time. The movement begun by the formation of the Ranchers' union is gathering force, and up and down the Arrow lakes individual ranchers are figuring what ties, props, cord wood and poles they can get out this winter, to be moved in the spring by the -barge the C.P.R. has promised if the quantities are forthcoming. Discussing the principle behind tills movement to market forest products from the Arrow lake ranchers, Mr. Fauquier said: "The primary Idea of this movement, for the present, is to make the most ot the timber on our land, when clearing It, instead of burning It, as Is the common method, thus saving a very respectable amount of what was formerly a total loss. The trouble with too many ranchers Ib, tbat wlien they are upprouched on the matter of getting out ties and cordwood, they Immediately alter their point of view, and Instead of figuring that the clearing of the land Is what they are spending their time and money for, and that any ties and cord- wood amounts to so much velvet, come to the conclusion that, unless they can actually make a profit out of the ties and other products in themselves, the proposition Is not worth while. Now, everyone knows that, almost anywhere In the Kootenays, cleared land, roughly speaking, is worth turn an acre more than the same land before it is cleared. Thus, even if the forest products from a particular acre were manufactured and manufactured at a loss, so far as labor costs were concerned, the labor cost would have to be Incurred anyway tn clearing the land, and the returns from the forest products go to reduce the net expense of clearing that acre. For myself, I am putting in a gang of men to get out ties, and 1 figure on making a profit of from $25 to 175 an acre on the forest products themselves. Suppose, however, Instead of having a profit, I had an actual loss of $25 per acre. I would still be getting my land cleared. I would be paying less than the usual $100 for clearing, by whatever my forest products brought In. "Thisirule applies, whether one ls ranching on a small or large scale. Consider the cuse of the small rancher, who may be working for wages. He gets |3 a day from the government, spends $1 of that for board, and in the end saves II. If he works for himself making up ties and the like, lie Is hmw with his family," be Haves most of his board, and lie is gradually Increasing the value of bis land $100 an acre by clearing it."
