The audience took place at the court house, the premier being seated on the dais, surrounded hy his associates on the tour, Hon. O. P. Graham, minister ot railways; Hon, William Templeman, minister of mines; Senator Bostock, one of the 'Liberal senators for this province; and F. F. Pardee, M. P., chief Liberal whip. E. M. MacDonald, M.P., the remaining parliamentarian of the party, was not present in the -court room. Delegation Introduced. F. A. Starkey, president1, of the Nelson board of trade, chairman of the joint delegation, Introduced the other members. The delegation from the Portland chamber of commerce and from the states of Oregon and Washington generally consisted ot United States •Senator Chamberlain of Oregon; C. F. Adams, A. H. Devera, and D. M. Swee- gert, of Portland; 0. W. Barrlnger, Marcus, Wash.; Fred McDermott, Kettle Falls, Wash.; and Capt. W. P. Gray, (Pascoe, Wash. The delegation representing the interior of British Columbia, particularly the Boundary and the Kootenay, consisted chiefly of members of the Associated Boards of Trade of Eastern British Columbia, though several delegates represented Individual boards of trade, the members being, . beside Chairman Starkey, W. B. Farris and E. K. Beeston, Nelson; B. R. Atkins, Revelstoke; Noble Binns, Trail; A. I. Fisher, Fernie; M. A. Macdonald, Cranbrook; George Clark, Grand Forks, and G. E. Thompson, Phoenix. The Spokane chamber of commerce wired regrets that its delegation waB'unable to come, owing to "illness and forest fires distress." Others Present. In addition to the delegations proper, there were ln the court room, Martin Burrell, M. P. for Yale-Cariboo; Ralph Smith, M. P. for Nanaimo; G. 0. Buchanan, John Keen and H. Glegerlch, of KaBlo; F. J. Deane, of Cranbrook; and a large number of prominent citizens of Nelson, the number including Mayor Selous, W. C. Wells, Aid. Rutherford, E. Ferguson, J. L. Buchan, J. M. Lay, W. H. JoneB, A. M. Johnson, W. G. Foster, Sheriff Tuck, E. A. Crease, James O'Shea, W. F. Roberts, H. E. Douglas, K. K. BJerkness, S. A. Kelly, W. H. Bullock-Webster, and others. President Starkey. F. A. Starkey said that as president of the Nelson board of trade and of the associated boards of trade of the Kootenay, he had great pleasure in Introducing gentlemen not only from Nelson, and the Kootenay but also from Portland, as well as representatives of -Spokane. They would address Sir Wilfrid on a matter which they believed to be of vital importance to this country. While a portion of the proposed water route lay in another country, yet he believed that, by treaty the whole of the Columbia as far as Its mouth was a river in whose navigation Canada had equal rights with the United States, As the opening of the whole ot this river to navigation would benefit us we should appreciate the work being done on the other side of the boundary line and should complete it by similar work on this side. Undef present conditions the rate to the Kootenay was very much higher than rates to the coast cities, although tbe latter were further from the points where the freight originated. The reason given for this was the position ot the coast cities where they could bring in goods by water. If the Kootenay had competition by water rates would be very much reduced. If with the assistance of the premier and the government the Kootenay obtained a navigable route to the coast, the people here would be in a much better position to develop the natural resources of this country. Mr. Starkey concluded by extending a welcome to the premier and his fellow visitors. W. B. Farris. W, B. Farris expressed his regret that it had been impossible to obtain data as complete as would-have been desirable but hoped that as the government had always shown Itself willing to undertake works for the advantage of the country it would look favorably upon the proposal and take action to Investigate Its cost and feasibility. Feasibility. The scheme was to make the Colum- ' bta river navigable from West Robson (Continued on page two.). NELSON a C« TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 30, 1910 MAKE RESTRICTIONS LESS DRASTIC Family of Man Who Has Obtained Employment Will Not Need Mone. tary Qualification OTTAWA, Aug. 29—Mr. D. W. Scott, commissioner of Immigration returned last week ttom Great Britain where he spent a month conferring with emigration agents and inspecting the agencies. The new regulations which were put Into force this spring caused considerable protest in the old country, particularly the money qualifications required. It was as to this phase of the situation that Mr. Scott particularly -wished to enquire and as a result of representations 'made, it is understood that a modification will ibe made to some extent. Where an immigrant locates Jn Canada, secures permanent employment and demonstrates his ability to keep his family the money qualification of $25 now exacted will not be required when ■the wife and children come out to join bim. This applies only to assisted Immigration. As railroad construction laborers and also mechanics coming to assured employment do not require this amount, the monetary qualifications will be exacted only from those without definite employment arranged. Desirable Immigrants Mr. Scott came over by the Empress of Britain and on lt he says were 900 most desirable immigrants. He states that the outlook for next season is splendid. Australia Is now conducting an active Immigration propaganda and in that is a competitor against Canada but so far on account of the great.distance, not a very formidable one. With the modification which has ibeen made, Mr. Scott thinks tbe Immigration regulations will no longer be a cause of dissatisfaction. They are calculated to encourage the steady and industrious classes, while keeping out or tending to keep out those who through Indolence would likely become a charge on the community. Mr. Scott says that times in the old country are better and there is renewal of industrial activity. QUEENS OWN HAS ROYAL WELCOME Five. Bands Play Regiment to Camp Through Decorated Streets—General Greets Commander LONDON, Aug. 29 — Although the Queens Own arrived at Aldershot very late Sir Henry Pellatt -was met by Gen- H. M.

The Queens Own was only a unit but they represented a citizen army ready and willing at any time .to come to tho help of the motherland when required. Five (bands played the regiment to camp through decorated streets lined with enthusiastic spectators. No regiment ever lad such a welcome at Aldershot. The Dally Express gays that the visit of Canada's crack regiment Is an event of real political significance and assures the Queens Own of the wannest welcome and It regards the event as a further step towards that federation for the purpose of defense whereon future security must depend.

In the afternoon at the park the city's guest was presented with a civic address and the function was made happily non-partisan In character through Mr. Burrell, M.P. being one of the speakers. A parade ot launches marked the return to the city. Throughout the course of these functions 'the city has heen filled with visitors. On Saturday they began to pour in by every boat and train, from every quarter of the interior.

As the speakers filed upon the platform, the city band, seated over the entrance, played "The Maple Leaf," the audience rising and giving cheer upon cheer. Hon, William Templeman E. Ferguson, as chairman of the meet- Ing and on behalf of the Nelson Liberal association extended a hearty welcome to those -present at the meeting and Introduced Hon. William Templeman, who spoke of hiB delight at seeing such a large audience. All through British Columbia he said, people had turned out ln large numbers without regard to political proclivities. The meetings had not only been large ibut had also ■been enthusiastic. He hoped that when the time came the people of British Columbia would vote as enthusiastically for the Liberal party as for Its leader. Dealing with the grant made by the Dominion government for the purpose ot making experiments ln the emeltlng of low grade zinc, the -minister of mines Bald: Zinc Experiments "I think I may on this occasion make reference-to a question in which I know all the people of Nelson are very deeply interested. Some yearB ago, at the request of the mining Interests of the province and particularly of this district, the Dominion government voted a subsidy bn the production of lead of $50,- 000. That sun* of money has not yet been exhausted. The production of lead during those years haa been maintained at a normal level, I believe. That subsidy on lead has been of enormous benefit to this section. Without It I doubt very much whether the lead mining Industry would bave 'been as successful as lt has during the past five or six years. There has now come a time in the lead-zinc ores when, the production has fallen off. There are many mines In this part of the province producing low grade ores of zinc and jead and In many cases the zinc cannot" be recovered profitably by reason of the difficulty In smelting zinc. That money was voted and I have found since I arrived in this city a great many inquiries as to how we propose to spend it. I think this is a proper opportunity to explain the course we propose to take. Our first step has been to secure the services of an eminent mining engineer In London to make a report upon all the electrical smelting processes at present known In Europe. That mining engineer, Mr. Harbojird, Ib at present engaged In that work. We have also retained the services of Mr. Ingalls, a name familiar to most mining men. I think, aa the greatest zinc expert ln America. We are at the present time, therefore, Investigating. When we have the reports of these experts we will form a -plan of procedure aB to experimentation. J might say that we have received from the Canada Zinc company owning the zinc smelter at Nelson, the entire record of the experiments carried on here for some months, which I believe resulted In a certain measure of success, but which was not entirely successful. The data is being considered by Mr. Ingalls, who will make a report upon It. It is proposed as soon as we receive and consider all the information that can be obtained as to results achieved thus far In the electric smelting of zinc to submit that evidence, to the best experts we can find, the best metallurgists and chemists and smelting men on the continent and to be guided by their advice as to the experimentation we shall carry on. It is proposed by Dr. Hannel, the director of the mines department, to carry on if possible experiments in the zinc smelting process attaur zinc, smelter fn. Nelson, provided^ orcourse, that the ""exerts recommend it. I had a conversation with Mr. Ingalls myself in New York and he thought in all probability it would be found expedient to take up the snyder process and try to bring it to success if possible. At Nelson "Now I want it to be distinctly understood thnt this is a difficult problem. We may succeed and we may not. It may be that we shall spend all the ■money and may not find the solution, -but we know the enormous benefit thnt will result to this portion of British Columbia if a commercially successful process for smelting low grade zinc ores may be found. 'We are proceeding carefully; very little money, has been expended yet. IWe shall procure the best advice obtainable and probably carry on experiments In a small way in other places where there are experts and small laboratories In which the work may be carried on in a small scale and then when, we are in a position to attempt smelting on a commercial scale we expect the work will be carried on at the zinc smelter near Nelson." Mr. Templeman concluded by referring to tbe success of Sir Wilfrid's tour and said that all members of the party would carry away with them very favorable impressions of Nelson. Ralph Smith The next speaker was Ralph Smith, M P, who said that on every other occasion 'when he had been in Nelson it had been for the purpose of assisting in a political fight. "If ithe enthusiasm manifested all through British Columbia represents,' continued Mr. Smith, "the loyalty of the liberal vote then this province will restore herself to her former political position at the next opportunity. If a good government and a good policy, having good national effects means anything British Columbia should make every effort to regain this position. "When I was In Nelson before I saw everywhere a "poster on which I read: 'Vote for Goodeve and a White B.C..' I took this aB an Invitation to support the Liberal party, the onlv party which has attempted seriously and with success to settle this question of such importance to British Columihia. This was a question which had to be solved without injury to the nation, without destroying the integrity of a British treaty nnd to the complete satisfaction of tiie people of the province. Oriental Labor "I noticed in The Toronto News the other day an editorial having reference to the employment of oriental labor on the G.T.P. railway and to a statement that such was necessary. The editorial writer went on to say that, the C.P.R. and the C.N.R, had not, and did not employ orientals, that there was plenty of white labor and that there was no reason why the GT.P. should employ any on Its construction. A strange thing about this article is that the O.T.P. never employed orientals on Its construction work. Another thing Ib that the Canadian Northern has never bad an opportunity to employ an Asiatic In British Columbia, the Canadian Northern has not built a foot of track In U^yo-ftnce.

NOT OUT ITU Methodist Conference Takes No Action JACKSON DISPUTE UNDER DISCUSSION Dr. Cleaver Leads Criticism- Amendment is Carried by Large Majority (Speclat to The Daily Newa.) VICTORIA, Aug. 29—After discussing the Jackson controversy and tbe teachings of heresy generally throughout the church for upwards of three hours, the Methodist conference today decided by a vote of 125 to 84 not to deal with what has become a famous question, but to leave it to the regular procedure appointed by the church. Rev. Dr. Cleaver of Toronto, led an attack on the professor ot the English Bible in Victoria university while that gentleman was warmly championed by Chancellor Burwash and N. W. Howell, one of the leading laymen or the church. The discussion was followed keenly by a full attendance of delegates and crowded galleries. Attacks Dr. Jackson. Dr. Cleaver expressing himself quite warmly and earnestly plunged Into the heart of his complaint against Dr. Jackson by quotations from his writings and that of men for and against higher criticism with AsyreologiBts declaring there were not records to prove the Bible story of the deluge and others declaring that there were. Dr. Jackson, he said, hastened to take his stand with the former. To himself this waa one of the saddest features of the case. Until he had absolute proof he would never give up anything in the Bible. Continuing Dr. Cleaver said, "It Ib very unfair to young men to compel them' at the very door of the ministry, to pass through these colleges and hear things we do not believe, tilings that are not true, things that cannot convince grown men and women and those of experience. Men who cannot convince their fellows, are allowed to take young fellows, fresh from the farm, immature and Inexperienced and poison their minds, if this thing is not stopped we have sold our birthright for a mess of pottage." Injurious Doctrines. Dr. Cleaver's motion asked the conference to state that it was regrettable that, in the colleges of church, orally and In publication, there had been set forth doctrines of an unsettling and injurious character, that as a conference lt express Its strong disapproval of all such teaching as having a tendency to disparage the deity and infallibility of Christ while on earth, to weaken the authority of Christ and his apostles and to discredit the scriptures ns a trustworthy revelation from God. The motion detailed half a dozen points as specimens of the doctrines complained of, such as the unscientific character of the early chapters of Genesis, that Christ has assumed the Mosaic authorship of the pentateucb and the David authorship of 110th Psalm which modern scholarship denied, that a man may not do violence to his Intellectual conscience at the bidding of any authority no matter how august, that on questions of morals Jesus ts to be listened to, but In such matters as casting out of the devils, ignored. F. W. Winter, Toronto, seconding tho motion, expressed tbe most kindly feelings for the church but declared himself firmly opposed to the higher criticism. The Amendment. Dr. Watson of Toronto, moved In am* endment, seconded by Rev. Principal Sparling, of Winnipeg, that as the matters of the motion were such as called for the most careful and mature deliberation of those best fitted to adjudicate, and sb the general conference was by constitution and usage legislative rather than a court of trial, and so could not give patient and calm deliberation which the highest interests of great truth and high fellowship demanded, as the church had a method of procedure on cases of supposed departure from its teachings which would not tend to stifle the candor of professors and would keep Inviolate the doctrines and principles of the church, it be resolved that "having provided adequately for cases such as referred to In the resolution, that the general conference reaffirmed Its allegiance to Christ as king. Saviour and God, and its faithful adherence to the word of God which liveth and reigneth forever." Rev. Dr. Speer wanted the word "Infallible" added but the mover declined. Defends Colleague. Chancellor Burwash approached the defence of his colleague ln the professoriate of Victoria university with calmness and deliberation. Tbe matter was one, he said, which was most Important and affected the whole future of the church. Nothing stood out more prominently In Mr. Wesley's teachings and Methodism than the principles of liberty ot conscience and liberty ot thought within certain well defined fundamental positions in their standards of doctrine. It was the departure from these principles tbat had led to the lighting of the Smithfield fires, that Protestantism overthrew, if there had been any one principle of Protestantism which Mr. Wesley adhered, It was that fundamental principle of liberty of conscience. Fundamental Doctrines. "There are certain fundamental doctrines which we cannot depart from," said the chancellor. "The deity of Christ is one and another is authority of the word of God. So far aB the faculty of Victoria college is concerned there is not a man there who does not believe and who does not teach In as strong a way as the mover of this resolution or any other man on the floor of this conference today, these two fundamental and essential doctrines, with all his heart." Certain Points Accepted, Dr. Burwash claimed that no church had a better or fairer way of trying any allegations of heresy than their own, and that was where matters should be dealt with calmly and deliberately. Dr. Watson's resolution was one which summed up the position tbat the conference should take for it was not a body which could properly deal with such things. Higher critics differed in their theories just as_chemists differed* and just aB differences existed In theories on any and all scientific questions. A distinguished Roman Catholic once wrote a book on differences of Protestantism to prove that in the oneness ot doctrine of his church was the only truth. In no college of the Methodist church was higher criticism taught ab a principle, but there were certain things It had brought to light, which were now accepted by the great body of the Christian world and accepted as true, while theories emanating from Germany were speculation away up in the air. The prevalence of these German speculations was attributable to the fact that a man could not secure his degree as doctor of philosophy without writing a thesis which advanced something new. All the conference had to do was to ask whether in any of the colleges there was any teaching which interfererd with the belief in the deity of ChriBt, and were any such teachings interfering with the authority of the word of God, as these doctrines were set forth in the standards of the church. Dr. Burwash then refererd to Wesley's position as set forth in his "notes on the New Testament," and almost identical statements by Dr. Jackson. The Other Side. N. W. Rowell, K. Ci, said he was on "the other side" from the mover and seconder not because he wanted to approve of particular ideas but because he loved the Methodist church and wanted to see it doing the things thnt are essential. He had read the writings of Dr. James Orr, one of the foremost upholders of the conservative view and heard him In Toronto. Think and Let Think. "There is nothing more radical in anything Dr. Jackson has written than in the notes of John Wesley. I refuse to accept the deductions Dr. Cleaver has made. In my opinion they are entirely unwarranted by a fair perusal of the book. My deliberate conclusion js that while in some details Dr. Jacks<\i differB with men like Luther, John Wesley, James.Orr and Marcus Dodds, and higher critics, on some points he is more conservative and on some he is more radical, on the whole he is more conservative and on everything that touches fundamental principles he stands in accord with them. It does not become us In these opening days of the twentieth century, with a Methodism which stands for liberty of thought to adopt a reactionary measure which savors of middle ages let us think and let think. Go ahead with our duties. Christ Discredited. Dr. Cleaver in a short reply asserted tbat no mission or evangelical work could be done where ChriBt was discredited and the book disparaged. Amendment Carried. Dr. Watson's amendment was then taken up and to the designation of Christ as king, Saviour and God, Rev. Dr. Antliff proposed to add "and infallible teacher" to which the mover and seconder had no objection. Other members, however, declared that it was necessary to know just how the (Continued on page eight.) I AT CITY PARK JAPAN RENOUNCES COMMERCIAL TREATY Canada is Party—Will Expire Next July—New Tariff Will be More Highly Protective. VANCOUVER, Aug. 29—Japan has formally given Great Britain one year's notice renouncing the commercial treaty negotiated ten years ago to which Canada subsequently became a party. The treaty will expire next July. Tho servlug of formal notice is an indication ot the intention of the Japanese government to negotiate an entirely new arrangement ln harmony with the spirit of a higher protective tariff to go into operation August, 1911, The notice renouncing treaties existing with other countries has also been served. This announcement was made today by C. A. Harris, Canadian trade commissioner to Japan, who reached Vancouver today from Toklo. He Bald, "It is Impossible to foresee how the new protective tariff will work aB regards foreign countries.

Addresses by the Mayor and Martin BurreH SIR WILFRID MAKES PLEASANT REPLY Crowds on the Beach—Flotilla of Launches—Boy Scouts —Children Sing The meeting at the cJty nark in the afternoon was held under the happiest auspices. The bright sunlight and warm winds ■brought out hundredB ot people who under less favorable weather conditions could not have been present and the beach and grassyflats were crowded. Hundreds of others listened to the addresses from launches boats and canoes on the water. Carnival Scene According to arrangements the speeches were delivered from the barge attached to the steamer Nelson upon . which the audience was carried to the park. Around It was a flotilla ot water- craft, the majority of whfch were decorated with flags and bunting. The lake was fortunately Bmooth and the scene was reminiscent, as Sir Wilfrid remarked, of Venice. The water looked as if a regatta were In progress and the carnival spirit was everywhere In evidence. Sir Wilfrid was conveyed to the park In Mr. de Veber's launch, the Laugh-a- Lot, which was convoyed iby some 30 boats. Including C. W1. Busk's steamer in which were the Boy Scouts who form ed a guard of honor for the premier on the barge later. On arrival at the park the crowd sent up three spontaneous cheers In honor of the visitor and again when he mounted the daia which had been erected on the barge. Mayor Selous' Address mayor* Selous presented the address of welcome from the city, saying: "We are gathered here to welcome Sir Wilfrid Lnurler, premier of Canada, to ex- to express our appreciation of Sir W1I- ■fhat Is being paid us by the visit and to express our oppreciatlon os Sir Wilfrid as a onan, ns n statesman and as the first citizen of this great Dominion ot ours. You of the icity of Nelson expressed to a large extent your welcome on Saturday night but there are hundreds here from places outside of Nelson end I will therefore ask Mr. Burrell. in the absence of Mr. A. S. Goodeve, who has been prevented from coming owing to his business on the forestry commission, to extend a welcome from the Kootenay country to Sir Wilfrid. Mr. Martin Burrell Mr. Martin Burrell's speech which was in his happiest and most admirably conceived vein, was as follows: "Ladies and gentlemen and Mr. Mayor allow me to thank yoti for this opportunity of expressing on behalf of hundreds of citizens In the Kootenay and Boundary their hearty welcome to Sir Wilfrid Laurler. I come as a fellow citizen and I come as a Canadian to- express our abundant welcome to Str Wilfrid Laurler as the first citizen of that great country we call Canada. "Sometimes In the east we hear lt said that tall statements are frequently made In the west and by westerners. IB that be so It Is only a mater of quality. I am sure that it ls because we who live to the west of the Rockies are bo impressed with the grandeur and the Immensity of our mountains and valleys and lakes and rivers that we are some- limes accused of bragging a little'of our country. It Is because of our un- (bounded faith, our untiring optimism and our unshaken resolution that we ■sometimes express ourselves in a tall manner. Wise Men From East "I am told tbiat the wise men come from the east and I find that many, when they do come, stay In the west. I hope thnt many of the distinguished visitors who are present today will also some day make their pennanentt homes here. "It is hardly necessary for me to say to the premier that all thoughts and shades of thought are represented here today as they have been at other welcomes extended to bim throughout British Columbia. No Politics In Welcome "It Is true that all these people da not necessarily think with htm on some subjects but all extend their welcome to Mm as one who haft been a leader of political thought, a leader In Canadian Ideals and a leader of Canada for many years. He has been foremost among those who cherish the grand] , Ideal that looks to the solidarity ot Canada from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Premier's Personal Qualltlei "Whatever shad© of opinion we may hold we realize this and by so doing contribute towards the faith and honor of our country.

As to its feasibility Capt. Gray would state the point to which it is now navigable from Ub mouth and the points at which It required to be made navigable. The American governments were looking after the "work on the other side of the boundary. What had to be done on this side was to make navigable for all seasons the thirty-three miles from West Robson to the boundary. Part of it was already thus navigable and Capt. Gore had stated that all of it is navigable when the water was four feet.above the summer level. All that waa necessary to make it navigable all the year round was to provide for that four fe^t of water at a few places. Whether this could best be done by dredging or by locks was a Question to investigate. Grain Rates. The benefits to be obtained from the opening of this route might be illustrated by showing the disadvantages under which the districts concerned lay ln. the matter of transportation charges aa compared with places which had water competition. The distance from Winnipeg to Fort William was 440 miles; that from Alberta to West Robson was 370 miles. They might therefore expect as low a rate from Alberta to West Hobson as from Winnipeg to Fort William; that is a .rate of 10 cents per hundred pounds. From Fort Will- lam to Buffalo, 3200 miles, the rate by the lakes was five and five-sixth cents; from West Robson to Portland, 780 miles, the rate after allowing for the difference between river and lake navigation should not he more than six cents. From the coast to Liverpool the rate was 22 3-2 cents. Total from Alberta to Liverpool via West Robson 38 1-2 cents. This would be much lowered by the completion of the Panama canal. Even as It stood It showed an advantage of 31 cents per hundred as compared with the rate from Alberta via St. John of 49 1-2 cents per 300 pounds. Import Rates. Of trtlll greater importance to this district was the question of import freight rates. Nelson was 500 miles nearer to Montreal than was Vancouver. Bat the average classified rate from Montreal to Vancouver was $1.77 aad a fraction while to Nelson it was $2.13 ana a fraction. In commodity rates the difference was greater. Among other Instances the rate on bail and baggage was quoted. From Montreal to Vancouver U C L. the rate waa $1.79 and C. L. $2.72,—nearly twice as much. Figures were also quoted to show that Vancouver can get freight from Montreal and ship it back to Nelson at a total rate of 17 cents less than it can be brought direct to Nelson. Vancouver's favorable rates were due to water competition and the opening of through navigation on the Columbia would greatly reduce rates to Nelson. At present the cost of getting goods to Nelson averaged 87 5-8 cents more than to Vancouver. By water from Portland a fair estimate was but 38 cents more per hundred pounds. Country to be Benefitted. Such reductions would be of great value ln the development of our natural resources. Our agricultural lands were estimated by Mr. Mlddleton, assistant provincial horticulturist as including 580,000 acres suitable for fruit growing and 1)70,000 acres suitable for mixed farming. Only about one per cent. of> this was now developed. It waB estimated that ten acres of fruit land or 40 acres of farming land with this favorable soil and climate, were sufficient to maintain a family ot five in a good style of living, bo that the territory would support an agricultural population of half a million. Agricultural land was only one of the resources of the district. There were fifty billion feet of timber which would take an expenditure of fifty million dollars in wages ot prepare for the mar- ket. The country was above all a mining one. It was impossible to give any estimate of the great mineral wealth of the country but mining men sat dthat It had barely been scratched. The navigation of tbe Columbia would go a long way to Bolve the problem of transportation. They asked the government to Investigate lt and If they found It feasible to take It up and carry it through to a successful conclusion. * Senator Chamberlain. Senator Chamberlain of the delegation from Portland said they were not there to advise Uie people of Nelson or to say what the benefit to the Kootenay would be but to .state what had been done and was being done on the other side of the line and what benefits had been obtained there from the work already done. Formerly the whole eastern part of the state was a grazing country, rates were too high to make other forms of agriculture practicable. As a result of the reductions secured through opening up a portion of the river that territory was now one of the richest portions of the state. Results in Oregon. When the railway was first built paralleling the liver for much of its course the rates Imposed were prohibitive of the agricultural development of the interior country. Forty miles above -■"--*"■- - ■Ids navl- money to build a portage railway around tbe obstruction there and aB a result there was an immediate lowering of rates for 200 miles up from the mouth of the river. On «.\ the C. L. rate was lowered from $5.20 to $1.50 and the L. O. L. rate from $7.40 to $3. On other rates quoted by tbe speaker there were even greater reductions. These rates made lt possible to go into general agriculture. The business was not taken away from the railways but the rates were reduced by the railways in order to hold the business. At Dalles there had still remained eight miles of non-navigable water. Above that point rates bad continued prohibitive. The state undertook the construction of another portage railway and again this was followed by the immediate reduction of rates. Now the portage railway at the Cascades haa been replaced by a canal and tbe United States government is constructing a canal at the Dalles. Will Look After Their Side. The national government, tbe governments of both Oregon and Washington, the city of Portland and other municipalities had contributed. Sums aggregating ten million dollars had been appropriated. He believed that if the people of this country would undertake the work of making the river navigable on this side of the boundary they could trust the people of the United States to do the rest of lt The people, of Oregon felt that the opening of the river to navigation would benefit greatly the development of the territory along the river on both sldeB of the boundary, and that the development on each side of the line would be mutually advantageous. Would Develop Interior. The third speaker wns B. R. Atkins, representing the Revelstoke board of trade. Mr. Atkins pictured the upper Columbia, and Us strategic position with reference to the northern area of settlement, through 240 miles of which It flowed. Above Revelstoke the great stream was navigable for a distance of 40 miles, while below, with but few and insignificant obstacles, it was navigable for most of Its course. At a comparatively low cost, he believed, the upper Columbia could he made navigable for commerce. The Canadian Columbia boasted but two cities, Rossland and Trail, whereas that rich diBtrict, under adequate development, would Inevitably reach a large.population. ' The Revelstoke district, he said, looked at tbe question less -from the point of view of reduction ln transportation charges, than from the point of view of development ot tbe territory traversed, and tbe creation of a local commerce. The river was both the enemy and the friend of Revelstoke. and but for the timely aid of tbe government presided over by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the town on one occasion would have been wiped out. But la* territory. On the north it all but touched the line of the G. T. P. railway, while the other railway lines in the interior of the province all encountered it.. Traversing the interior from the north to-the south, it offered a potential highway of commerce, connecting the northern part with the southern, and that in turn with the Boundary states. ''.*'. At a period five years before Sir Wilfrid Laurier entered the Dominion parliament, tne; Columbia river, within Its British Columbia boundaries, possessed a population almost equal to the sparBe population of the' present days. In other words, the development of the giant stream was in its Infancy, though it ranked in size as the twelfth river of the world.. When it should be rendered perfectly navigable, that development, now so much deBired, would come about, ;■, Mr. Atkins closed a Btrlking and forceful plea by picturing the time when the Columbia's waters shonld bear the commerce of a large and prosperous population, when the river should be a bond of union between the various parts of the interior, nnd a link between the kindred nations on either side of the international boundary. Death Rapids Line. Hon. Mr. Graham stated to Mr. AtkinB that two years ago the Dominion, government was asked to give a subsidy for a railway near Death rapids, a little distance above Revelstoke, and, that the subsidy waB granted. But he understood thai the railway was not going ahead. Mr. Atkins confirmed this, and stated that the provincial government waa putting through a wagon road ln the same territory. The provincial government was being asked tosput on this a tram line. Present Navigability. Capt. Gray, one of the representatives of the state of Washington, the fourth and last spokesman, was Introduced as a former resident of British Columbia, living in this province1 before Confederation. Capt. Gray described J*1b early days on the Columbia with his father, when this province was their place of residence. For the last 50 years, however, he had been an American, and for that whole period he had steam- boated on that same river. If the Columbia was the twelfth river of the world, as the last speaker had said, Capt. Gray pointed out that it was the second, or at least the third, river of this continent. ' For the greater part of its course south of the boundary line it was perfectly navigable at all times. With medium water, the Columbia was navigable continuously for 1200 miles. He was continually plying as far up as Priest rapids, where, a reef appeared at low water. At high water, the reef was no obstruction. From Astoria, Ore., to Death rapids, above Revelstoke, the trip could now be made with' portages only at the Dalles, at Cecllo, and .at Kettle Falls, and he was now advocating a missionary excursion over that length of river. Another Rhine. It had since early youth been his ambition to take a steamboat from Lake Windermere, the Bource of the Columbia, to the ocean, but that achievement he feared would not be recorded in hiB lifetime. Draining a vast basin and laying a rich territory under tribute, its only obstacles to navigation being of the kind that could easily be overcome. Capt. Gray pictured the Columbia developed as is tbe Rhine, ministering to and sustaining a large and prosperous population. As an incidental result, besides creating a commerce of its own, its improvement would regulate through freight ratea. Laurier's Reply. Sir Wilfrid Laurler then spoke as follows: Mr. President and gentlemen: I am sorry that 1 have to confess by Ignorance as to tbe merits ef the scheme which you now lay before me and my. colleagues here present. I knew very little of it until I was made acquainted with it some days ago at Revel- stoke. I may say in general terms that It strongly appeals to me; not that I am aB enthusiastic as my young friend Mr, FarriB, even if the Columbia river were made navigable from Lake Windermere to the Pacific I am not quite convinced yet that it would be a great regulator of traffic rates on our railways which run east and west, tf I am wrong In this, however, 1 shall be only too pleaBed to yield to Mr. FarriB' view. But quite apart from that the scheme appeals to me very strongly from the fact that all aids to transportation between country and country help in the development of trade between country and country, resulting in better relations between people and people, and our relations with the people of Portland and tbe other cities on the other side of the line are becoming more and more friendly every day. 1 hope, therefore, from the point of view of higher civilization alone apart from other aspects there is sufficient to Induce the government of Canada to look Into this project with favor. I should bave been gratified if more information had been laid before us,—if ln addition to tbe valuable information that has been given we could have been told more about the points that bave to be Improved and Bomc idea given of the cost of the Improvements. However, perhaps it is premature to ask that I understand from tbe remarks of one of the speakers tbat In the United States the river has been surveyed and an estimate made of the work necessary to Improve navigation from the boundary line to the mouth of the river. On our side nothing has been done yet Some little works have been done here and there, scratching more than working I might say; but It will be my doty and pleasure to report to my colleague the minister of public works the advisability of, at the earliest possible moment, having the river surveyed from take Windermere to the boundary in order to see what work la required and to ascertain the approximate ooat (Applause.) ■ 'There are two wan of approaching - subject; one would ha tor the United States will do their part on their side we do ours on our side. There is another way which would appeal much more strongly to me if it were possible, that is for the governments of the United States and Canada to have the work properly surveyed by engineers and approximate estimates of cost made and then to have a united plan of action adopted by both coun tries.' (Applause). At all events I have only to express my sympathy; that la all I can do today, and also to express my appreciation and assure you of mj consideration of the valuable Information that has been given, and to say that anything which will tend to the development of means of transportation between one country and another will always receive the favorable consideration of the Canadian government. Mr. Starkey Expresses Thanks. Similar applause to that which greeted the premier on rising, followed the conclusion of bis reply.

' , Mr. Burrell concluded by saying that he thought that he voiced the feeling of every man, woman and child present when he wished (the premier godspeed on his long homeward journey across the great continent of Canada. Sir Wilfrid Sir Wilfrid Laurier was greeted with cheers upon arising to reply tn the following words: "Mr. Mayor and fellow citizens; my first words must be to offer the mayor the thanks of myself and my friends for the kind words with which he has just welcomed us to Nelson and next I must thank Mr. Burrell for the very nice things that he has said ahout me. I ■may say to Mr. Burrell that it 1 have ever thought that the -people of the west use tall language I must apologize If they have bragged a little they have had, good reasong for It. Nature has heen so good to them; -tall mountains, tall trees and tall language—it Is all fitting. Would Like to Live Here "Let me say to Mr. Burrell also that If the efforts of him and his friends to deprive me of the Job 1 now hold are ever successful I think tbat I should like to find tny refuge here In the Kootenays'. I aim a visitor to Nelson for the first time and have only previously heard of -Its -beauties by report. I can now say that it ls truly the 'Venice of Canada'; It Is the only place tn the Dominion entitled to comparison with that far famed idty. Compares Nelosn to Venice I have, visited Venice several times and find another point of comparison ln addition to the delightful waterway that I see around me. Since coming to Nelson I have only seen one carriage and In Venice I saw none at all hut like Nelson, I have seen there a vast flo- , tilla of graceful craft. The 'beauty of this lake is greater by far than that of the lagoons of the Italian city. Although I have spent the past 30 years -In political strife I claim that I have the eye of the artist for natural beauty; I and my friends have seen wonder after wonder in scenre effects and landscape delights since we came here. And To Quebec "This morning a young friend of mine who has come with me from Quebec looked around and said: 'This Is very like Quebec* and I agree with htm. And I have represented Quebec for thirty years ln the house of commons, so gentlemen, you will not wonder that I have a warm -place In my heart for that delightful old city. I may say now tbat ■because of this similarity I have a warm place In my heart for Nelson. "There are other reasons why I have a special place In my heart for Nelson Ibut t will reserve them for tbe meeting tonight, because Mr, Burrell and I do not, as he says, see eye to eye on some subjects. Hat Eye on Mr. Burrell "He haa had his eye on me," con tinued Sir Wilfrid, "and I have had mine on him for the past two years. He sits on one side ot the speaker and I on the other. I need not say which is the right side but I think that it is his misfortune and not his fault that we agree to differ in matters political. Would you believe it? He says that I am on the wrong elde. What greater error could he make? But I hope that he will see the error of his ways soon. I should not wonder then if he did not sit on the right aide of the speaker Instead of the left as at present. The premier 'continued: "It speaks well for the political condition of the country that men sitting In opposition in the house can meet together as' friends and treat each other with respect as is done in Great Britain. I am proud that I can say this of Canada. "I have only one aim and object in lite and that fs the well being of our common country, Canada." Sir Wilfrid's, speech was several times Interrupted by cheers from the crowd and by laughter at the pleasant touches of humor. Bouquet Presented At the concluson of the address Miss D. H. Proudfoot presented tbe premier with a bouquet of wild flowers which Sir Wilfrid courteously acknowledged with a kiss and a smile of thanks. Presents.Medal to Grace Patrick -Dr. E. C. Arthur, chairman of the school board then introduced Miss Grace Patrclk, and asked Sir Wilfrid to .present her with the lieutenant governor's imedal which she has recently won ln competition against all the high school scholars In the province in the high school entrance examinations. As he was pinning the medal on Miss Patrick's dress Str Wilfrid asked: "It this a nelce of Mr. Joseph Patrick," and on being Informed that Miss Patrick was a daughter of F. ,T.

Father Condeyre of Gonzelas college, Spokane. A special musical service was given In' honor of the distinguished visitor. The church was filled to overflowing and after the service Sir Wilfrid was introduced to a large number of the congregation In the parish hall adjoining the church and made a brief speech, extending thanks for the reception that had been accorded him on his arrival the previous night.

Gray Talks of Life In British Columbia In 1858—-Amusing Anecdote. J Among the delegates from the Portland chamber of commerce who attended the Columbia river conference yesterday was Capt. W. P. Gray, of Pasco, Wash,, who navigated river steamers in British Columbia as long ago as 1868. Capt. Gray ts probably one of the few men living who remember BrltiBh Columbia in the days when it was to all intents and purposes a Hudson bay principality. The cbiet Industry was fur trading, though a year or bo before Capt. Gray first reached Victoria from Astoria, Ore., something in the nature of a mining rush had taken place. There had been discoveries of rich placer gold near Fort Hope and later in the Slmll- kameen and the famous California gold rush of 1849 having subsided, a great number of prospectors bad made their way north, into Oregon, Washington, Idaho and British Columbia. Early Western Days. There was, of course, no transcontinental railway at that time either in Canada or the States and to reach British Columbia the pioneer had to either make the long voyage around Cape Horn, travel through the western states over the famous Oregon trail, on which so many lives were lost, or cross the saline wastes of the Salt lake and California deserts. Capt. Gray's parents were two ot the earliest settlers in Oregon, having crossed the continent from the southern states ln search of the wealth tbat has made so many men and women take Horace Greeley's advice to "Go West." In common, however, with the majority of the pioneers of Oregon, Capt, Gray's parents left the comparatively civilized homeland in the south seeking, not gold, but fertile farming land. They settled at a point near where the skyscrapers of the city of Portland now lift themselves upwards and for some years engaged in farming. Soon accumulating a considerable amount ot wealth Mr. Gray senior and his family moved out to Astoria, at the mouth of the Columbia river where the first post office in the United States west of the Rockies was built in 1857. Here 'Mr. Gray engaged in the shipbuilding business. Qo to Fort Hope. In 1858, attracted by stories of the new gold diggings in British Columbia and moved by that same adventurous spirit that had induced him to make the arduous trip across the continent to the shores of the Pacific ocean, he, together with his son, W. P. Gray and his wife and daughters, crossed Puget Sound and landed at Victoria. Fur Trading, Going from the capital to Fort Hope the Gray family located on the Fraser and there spent the winter building bateaux for the Hudson bay traders. The following spring they built a number of schooners and the summer of 1859 Mr. Gray and his son made regular runs between Fort Langley and Fort Yale, the latter place being now the city of Yale. They carried furs collected by the Hudson bay men and provisions and other merchandise for the use ot the miners who were then panning gold in considerable quantity in the creeks of that district. Slmllkameen Is Discovered, In the summer of the following year the Slmllkameen camp was discovered and Mr. Gray, senior, attacked by tbe gold fever took his son, W. P. Gray to the south forks of the Slmllkameen. "He left me," said Capt. Gray yesterday, "rocking out gold and went to Rock creek, near Midway. He was successful in his search for richer sand and so went back to Fort Hope and brought my mother and sisters to the Bouth fork of the Slmllkameen river where we camped for some time, getting a fair amount of gold for our labors." The Dewdeney Trail. "On our first trip into the Slmllkameen country, we travelled by the old Hudson' bay trail over which the fur traders' brigade, which collected across the line at Colvllle, UBed to travel to Fort Hope and there sell their furs to the captain of the 'fort. This trail had been made by the Indians, and, according to custom, was over the highest peaks of the mountains and very un- suited to easy travelling. In the fail of I860, however, Governor Dewdeney of the province, located what waB known as the Dewdeney trail from Hope to the Slmllkameen. This was a much easier route and is now being used by the Great Northern railway as a pass through the Hope mountains for their new line. Boundary Line Located. "At this time the boundary line between United States and British possessions waa being located. There was, however, no trouble between the citizens of the two countries. The major portion of the population of British Columbia at that time was American and none worried very much whether the boundary line was along this parallel or that. "That same winter father and I whip- sawed lumber, made pegs and built a boat 90 feet long and with a 12 foot beam. We obtained wild flags from the bed of the river and from them made oakum and we made our pitch from the gt-^-'Of the pine trees along the banks of the river. Our methods were primitive but we put together a remarkably serviceable boat. Travels Down Columbia. "The next spring, the results from our gold panning having been somewhat slender, we went down the Okanagan river to the Columbia.

Up Stikeen River. "I ran boats during the years following bn various parts of the Columbia and In 1877 again entered British territory. This time I took a boat from Victoria and ran her up to the head of the Stikeen river and spent the whole season in that district. "From 1898 to 1809 I was again On the Stikeen. This was at the time of tbe Yukon gold fever and the route lo Dawson City was up the Stikeen river ny boat and north by the trail along which runs the present telegraph wire. The route to Dawson now, of course, is-by way of Skagway and the White Horse pass. "Later I operated In the same country, going up as far as St. Michael and the White Horse rapids." Tells Amusing Anecdote. Capt. Gray tells an amusing anecdote concerning Gov. Moody and a San Francisco tough named Ned McGowan. McGowan had at one time been a statu senator in California but had become a little too wild even for San Francisco In the early fifties and had been advised by tho vigilance committee for the good of the city and for the safely ot his own skin to "hike" from the Golden Gate city.- (McGowan ; worked his waj- north and in the winter ot 1858 waB located at a miner's camp at a place called Hill's bar, three miles below Fort Yale, which was at that time producing a considerable amount of gold. McGowan's old political Instinct soon reasserted itself and he became the leader of a gang composed of the toughest element ot the camp. This crowd soon came Into collision with the better element among the miners. A shooting match ensued and five or six people received .44 bullets In various parts of their anatomies. Two died. When the police officials attempted to arrest McGowan and some of his associates they barricated themselves In a tog cabin and told the police to head for warmer climate. The police force was not large and, thinking discretion the better part of valor, Bent a messenger to Victoria asking for a body ot troops to quell the "rebellion," as they described it. In the meantime McGowan and his hoodlum associates had the time of their lives and generally scared the life out of the more peaceable members of the camp. Governor Moody arrived In due course with a body of marines, about a hundred In number. Ned Shows Political Bent. It was at this point tbat Ned McGowan exhibited his political genius. Discarding his gun and cartridge belt and the other paraphernalia of tbe mining camp "bad man" he was the first to step aboard the boat on which the governor and the naval contingent had arrived. With his face wreathed ln smile sand with extended hand welcomed the official, treating the whole matter as a vast joke. The governor was endowed with a somewhat unofficial sense of humor and a few minutes later was sitting down to a meal with the erstwhile leader of the rebellion. The matter ended there though lt Is whispered that both the governor and Ned found the Hudson bay whiskey somewhat exhilarating and that before being carried to roomB in the lone hotel of which the place boasted were seen with their arms around each other's necks, no doubt giving each other pointers on matters political.

NELSON'S RECEPTION OF THE PREMIER OF CANADA To Sir Wilfrid Laurier in hiB official position as head of the government of Canada the -people of Nelson and the civic authorities have extended an appropriate welcome. Those who are not of his party have in this followed the best traditions of political life. The speech of Mr. Martin Burrell was an excellent illustration of sportsmanlike amenity toward a political opponent appearing in a non-partisan capacity, or Sir Wilfrid himself, when speaking in the civic functions it imay be said that "bin remarks were also appropriate to the - non-partisan nature of these occasions. The city in general may be congratulated upon the spirit displayed and upon the tasteful nature of the decorations contributed by the civic authorities aud by private citizens. ANNEXATION OF KOREA The formal incorporation of Korea Into Japanese territory has ibeen expected- for some time and will occasion no surprise. In reality that country has been ruled by Japan for some time. But administration has been complicated by the nominal sovereignty of the Korean emperor. The introduction of direct rule of Korea by aJpan will simplify matters in various, respects. As Korea is Immediately adjacent to the Japanese Us annexation resembles less the acquisition ot a subject territory than an extension of the boundaries of Japan. It may come to be peopled largely iby a Japanese population. Room lor the expansion of such a population Is one of the needs for Japan. Thatshe should be able lo find it near at home ia not a matter for regret.

Is due to the efforts of the Liberal government at Ottawa and to the Liberal representatives from British Columbia. When the charter for the G.T.P. passed through the house of com mons Mr. Templeman and I sought an Interview with the officials of the railway. When iwe left them we took with us a signed document In which it was agreed that no Asiatics should be employed on the construction of the Hns Chief Whip Speaks F. F. Pardee, M.P., chief whip of the Liberal party, was the next speaker and made a straight party speech. Better Grits he had never met, he said, than he had met in this part of British Col* umiMa. He also rejoiced in visiting Nelson because it was the home of a Grit, as -good a« he was big. old Bill Galliher. Nelson was then well represented. He won proud to speak as a follower of Sir Wilfrid Laurler, the greatest und best Cainfldian who ever lived. (Cheers) Those who had supported the Laurier government, for the last 14 years need not apologize. Its record was a con- struotlve one, a record of achievement. He challenged comparison with the record of the Conservatives when in of* floe.

There was ■the charge of Liberal Inconsistency in regard to the tariff. Yet the Liberals after coming into power, reduced the duty on 150 articles and placed 50 articles on the free list. The Conservative shibboleth, on the other hand, was "place us in .power and up will go the tariff and you will be taxed more than ever before." Spend More It was true the Liberal government was spending more in one year now than the Conservatives ever spent in one year prior to 1896, but there was a reason for the difference. The Grand Trunk pacific was a case In point. First the Conservatives opposed the building of this transcontinental railway. They charged that it would not be built. Then they admitted that it was being "built, but said it was costing more than promised. Was any man in Canada desirous of not having the transcontinental railway, even If it was costing more than1 promised. It was the Liberal party that said trade should not go north and south, but east and west. Year after year, under Conservative rule the finance -minister (brought down his budget showing a deficit. The Liberals came in and Hon. Mr. Fielding, as finance minister changed that order of deficits to the order of surpluses. Predicts One More Victory Where was the Conservative policy? asked the sneaker. The Conservative policy was solely one of criticism, without a single constructive plank. Three times since the Conservatives went out of office, they had made their appeal to the people of Canada and had been rejected. Four times had Sir Wilfrid Laurler led a united party to victory. Once again, when the next test came, he would, without doubt lead a still more united and powerful party to victory, to the fifth victory, and in that victory the province of British Columbia would be represented. (Applause.) "Before I close I want to say that Sir Wilfrid has done more to cement the people of Canada, done more to develop this country than anyone else who has at any time been in possession of the reins of government in Canada. The policy of Sir Wilfrid and of the Liberal government during the ten years that I have been at Ottawa has had as its aim, legislation which shall be of the greatest benefit to all the people of Canada, every interest has been considered, every section remembered.

I believe that the people of the west realize this more clearly today than ever before and I rely on their loyalty to Sir Wilfrid to send more Liberal representatives from British Columbia to Ottawa at the next election." M. A. Macdonald. M. A. Macdonald introduced himself to the meeting by stating that at the Liberal convention held ln Nelson a few days ago a new district association had been formed and that as chairman of a Liberal association in one of the ten ridings included in the new organization be was speaking as a representative of Liberals ln the Kootenays and Boundary. "I want to convey to our great chieftain," Bald Mr. Macdonald, "the information that we are determined when the next political affray takes place, the ranks of Liberals in southeastern British Columbia will be closed and ready for the fight. We Bhall not be ln the disorganized state in which the last election found us. "The numerical strength of the Liberal representatives from British Columbia at Ottawa and Victoria was not great but it would be a mistake for us, or for our opponents, to Imagine that there is not a saving strength of Liberals in the province. We have allowed our political fences to go into bad repair but I say tonight that I shall not have to make this confession again. "At the last provincial election, aside from our lack of organization, we were burdened by a voters' list that to say the least of it was in favor of the party in power., We were also handicapped by the provincial elections act which allowed a tremendous amount of repeating and impersonation. One man at Greenwood voted seven times and there were similar cases, as you know, at Fernie. At other places voters rose from the dead to vote for Premier McBride and his colleagues. Predicts McBride's Fall. "I say, also, that the power of the Conservative government and the people's funds have been used In British Columbia for party purposes. Every cent distributed by the government's agents is for the benefit of McBride and Bowser who form the hyphenated government at Victoria. Every trail built by the provincial government ls built for political purposes. Tbe government of British Columbia in spite of its apparent strength is not so solid, as to be likely to secure a long lease of power. "The note 1 strike tonight is one of optimism for Liberals in .British Columbia, But we were here to discuBB the broader questions of the welfare of the Dominion rather than local matters. The presence of Sir Wilfrid tonight will lead us to reflect that local Issues must be subordinated to the general good of the province and Canada as a whole. We must think not only of British Columbia but ot the Empire. "1 Invite tbe electors and the newcomers to the province to take a retrospective view of the laBt 15 years. Many projects have been launched by the Dominion government. Tbe broad- minded Immigration policy has built up a new west; compare the prosperity of today with the stagnation of 1896. On one hand is a policy ot development and on the other hand no policy at all. You will remember that a few weeks ago the Conservatives decided to call a convention to decide upon a party platform. All arrangements were made and the call was then withdrawn, presumably because the party leaders did not dare to meet their followers. "We have heard much from Ottawa about the naval policy. There have been cries of "panic" and "emergency" from the Conservatives. The only emergency is ln the ranks ot the Con* servatlves. In Quebec F. W. Monk ts leaving the party voluntarily; In Ontario Oeorge Eulas Foster Is leaving the party.Involuntarily. It is no won der that Mr. R. L. Borden's mind Ib in a state ot panic. "I think that the Conservatives should not control this province until they have a better policy than tbat of the Laurier government." After referring to the Inspiration he felt at the presence of Hir Wilfrid Laurier Mr. Macdonald said that it was not necessary to indulge in fulsome expressions ot eulogy of his chief but that the premier had led the party to victory four times and would do bo again. Mr, Macdonald sat down amid considerable applause. Premier's Reception The chief event of the evening was now reached, the address of the premier. On rising to speak Sir Wilfrid was given a splendid reception, the audience rlBlng to its feet. During the uproar little Miss Carrie timidly presented Sir Wilfrid wit ha bouquet, which he accepted, gallantly saluting the giver. This incident of course did not diminish tile applause. The premier spoke as follows: "Ladies and Gentlemen—I am now along with the friends who have accompanied me hitherto on the eighth and lost week of a tour which has taken us over the four western provinces of the Dominion. As has been stated by my friend Mr. Ralph Smith and Mr. Templeman, we have 'been received everywhere not only with cordiality .but I might say without any false modesty with great enthusiasm. Every day has been pleasant, the last day pleasanter than the day (before, indeed -n those eight weeks there lias been only one day which for my part I shall not recollect with pleasure; that was last Saturday when we were coming down the Arrow lakes. I hnd heard a great deal of the beauty of those lakes but unfortunately the fire which has been raging on the other side had so obscured the atmosphere tbat there was nothing to be seen. Happily, today the sun has come back and it has been possible for myself and friends to see the beautiful -mountains which surround this city. I have a partiality for mountains .because I come from a province ln which there are some, although not at all to be compared with your own. When British Columbia was first Introduced into Confederation there may be some In this audience who remember, that Borne one in the east in on unlucky moment stated that British Columbia was a "sea pf mountains." The expression I am sure was not meant in any offensive way, but at all events it carried with it some offensive suggestion. I wish for my part If there is any one ln the east who thinks that British Columbia is a "sea of mountains" that it were possible for him to visit it as I have done and see what wealth there is to be found in those mountains, and I could well wish for the sake of the agriculture of the eastern provinces and of the prairie provinces especially that they could have some of those mountains In their territory. It would be of great assistance to their agriculture because I.have seen many and many a time even this summer, the farmer craning his neck and anxiously scanning the horizon in order to find if possible the speck of cloud which onnounces the coming of rain. But here In British Columbia you are not troubled with such anxiety. The mountains covered with snow and ice furnish streams -which flow down and relieve you from such thoughts and if the skies are hard and refuse to deliver their water treasure you tap the stream and secure the water for your crops. Happy British Columbia; I wish we had something ot tbat kind In the east. The Oriental Question "But why I was particularly anxious to come to this city of Nelson was In order, If possible to dear up a question as to which 1 wiil not say tbat I have a grudge against tho city of Nelson and this lower portion of the province but as to which I think there has been misconception of the policy of the government. I would lihe to discuss and clear up, if possible, this oriental question to which my friend Mr. Ralph Smith has spoken. "In 1896 It waa the good fortune of the Liberal party to carry this Kootenay district and in fact the whole southern part of British Columbia. The same fortune in 1900. again in 1904, but in 1908, if I may say bo without offence, in a moment of weakness, British Columbia, the southern part went back on its former record. I have no hesitation In saying that this was caused by misrepresentations made perhaps on this platform and certainly throughout the length and breadth of the province with regard to the policy of the Liberal government on this question of Oriental imanlgration. You were told that If you wanted to bave a "white" British Columbia you should not elect a representative to support the Laurler government. You were told that if it was the misfortune of the people of Canada that this same government should be returned again to office you could say good bye'to "white" British Columbia, that the Grand Trunk Pacific would he toullt with Asiatic labor and the province over-run with Astatic hordes. Now I repeat It to you, is It not true that these statements -were made all over British: Colombia? I am not -surprised that those statements were made. 1 am familiar with those tactics, but may I Bay -that I am surprised that such misrepresentation should have found credence among any Intelligent people. I do not say that, sir, by way of reproach but I nave a right To say lt ln view ot what ha« followed since. Time has brotitSit its revenge. Why, «ir, what is the fact today? Two years have elapsed since you heard these appeals and, sir, today the Grand Tmnk Pacific railway is being constructed. Has there been— I ask the question and I pause Cor an answer—has there been a single Asia- tie brought in to work on the Grand Trunk pacific Railway? Not one. Has there been any Asiatic hordes to overrun this province? Sir, there- never moa a time In the history of British Columbia when there have been so few Asiatic! aa fhx-e the last election. Why do I recall these tactics? I think, sir, the reason ll obvious, It ls this; The father of Uea H not dead—the father ol Ilea Poor Digestion? This is one of the first signs of stomach weakness. Distress after eating, sour eructations, sick headache, bilious conditions are all indicative that it is the stomach that needs . assistance. Help it to regain health and strength by taking BEECHAM'S PILLS for they are a stomach remedy that never disappoints. They act quickly and gently upon the digestive organs, sweeten the contents of the stomach, carry off the disturbing elements, and establish healthy conditions of the liver and bile. The wonderful tonic and strengthening effects from Beecham's Fills, make them a safe remedy—they Help Weak Stomachs Sold Everywhere. In Bo-tei ag cents. still lives and he still haB disciples in this province. You will hear them again and therefore I will caution you against such false misrepresentations being made again as they were made before. May I be permitted here and now, since this question has such a hold on the people of British Columbia, to discuss It before you and to appeal to the record of what has been and what ls the policy of the Liberal party which is now in power at Ottawa, Sir, I believe, and I never disguise any thoughts as to this, I believe that Asiatic immigration into a province like British Col- umba or any other part of Canada cannot be allowed to go on unchecked, that it must be restricted, but I differ from the Conservative party as to the methods of restricting it. The policy suggested by the Conservative party has been the harsh method of hostile legislation; tbe policy we have followed on the contrary haB been that of mutual agreement with those oriental nations which are now arising from tbe long lethargy of ages and whose friendship may be useful and has already as far as one of them Ib concerned, heen useful to tbe motherland, England. When we took office In 1896 there was an almost solid representation from the Liberal -party in British Columbia. I was approached by my friends at that time in regard to the exclusion of Chinese which at that time was the trouble. At tbat time there was a capitation tax of $100 and -we were asked to increase this to |500 and we were also asked to apply the same legislation to Japanese immigration. As far as Chinese immigration Is concerned I had no difficulty at all, speaking on behalf of the government, in saying to our friends from British Columbia that we would at once raise the capitation tax to $500. At that time we had no Chinese consul at Ottawa, and bad no relations with them, diplomatic, semi-diplomatic or commercial. No protest came from China against the legislation and we had no hesitation ln passing it. As far as Japanese immigration was concerned we had a Japanese consul at Ottawa and I stated that there was then nego- tation going on for a treaty of alliance offensive and defensive between Japan and Great Britain and that such proce- cedure would not be politic. I agreed, however, that Japanese immigration should be restricted and at the same time I said to the delegates from British Columbia that we would not pass legislation of that kind against the Japanese. I had several conferences with the Japanese consul and I stated that I expected from him that his own government would themselves restrict the immigration of Japanese to British Columbia. I represented, to him tbat the civilization of Japan was so different from our own, that their working classes, had been accustomed to such a mode of living in their food, garments, lodging, etc., that they could supply their wants for a mere fraction of tbe wages necessary for a white working man to live respectably upon In this country and that If under such conditions the Jap- (Contlnued un Page Five.)

Well, sir, I am glad to say that these representations were received with favor. We had an agree* ment at that time whereby the Japanese authorities undertook to restrict Japanese Immigration Into Canada and it was restricted, In 1901-2-3-4-5-6. But ail of a eudden in 1907, there was an Influx of Japanese Immigrants. I do not accuse the Japanese government of having broken faith. It was misconception of a treaty we passed, a commercial treaty in which there waa no restrictive condition, but In.regard to -which some thought that Japan waa overriding our agreement. But the moment this took -place I sent my colleague, Mr. Lemieux, to Japan, to represent to the Japanese authorities that we expected them to observe the agree* ment made, between our governments and I ani Wound tp say that our representations were received with favor and with the assistance of the British ambassador we renewed the understanding whereby the Japanese immigration was to be reetrlcted, not toy any act of ours, which would be offensive, but by the Japanese government themselves. Tbat was in 1907 and from that date to this that agreement has been carried out .with absolute honesty and good faith hy the Japanese authorities. (Applause.) Influx of Hindus. Now It so happened tbat at the same time in 1907 there was another influx of Asiatic immigrants, not from Japan, not from China, but from India. There was an influx of Hindus to this country, men of Asiatic race, men against whom all the. economic reasons which militate against Immigration from Japan and China would equally apply, but there was something new at that time. These men were "British subjects and though their color was not the same as ours, though they were of a different race from ours, they were fellow subjects with us of his majesty the King of England. Some of them had worn the uniform of his majesty and fought under the British colors against the enemieB of England. What were we to do? Were we to allow them to come unchecked ln contact with our own working men? That could not be. If we were to follow the suggestions of the Conservative party we were to have an act of parliament to send them away from Canada, but waB lt to be said tbat in a British country under a British king an act should be passed forbidding British subjects to come into the country? Sir, whatever may have been the opinion of the Conservative party, such was not the opinion of the Liberal party. I did otherwise. I sent one of my own colleagues, the ypung- est member of the government, Mr. W. L. Mackenzie King, a man whom I am glad to say Is as popular here as wherever be ls known, to India on a diplomatic mission. His mission was con* fidentlal but I may say this, and you know it, that since that date not a Hindu has come from India to Canada, (Applause). I ask you now, sir, which is the better method? That of hostile legislation, which haB been proposed again and again in this province by the Conservative party, or the policy of conciliation, of mutual agreement, which has been followed by the present government. To compare the merits of the two policies, we have an aot whereby no Chinamen can come into this country unless he pays a capitation tax of ¥500, and last year 1400 came ln and paid that tax. We have an agreement with Japan whereby none can come in beyond the number ot 400 in every year. Which of the two acts is the more reasonable and the more productive of the good results for which we all hope? Conciliate Japan. But you will ask me why should we be more conciliatory to Japan than to China? Sir, for this reason, I do not know what the Chinese government may do ln the future, but I know what the Japanese government has done in the past. Japan is no longer a barbarian nation. Japan has entered iuto the category, of civilized nations. IJ, has now awakened and If in the arts of peace it has not yet fully attained the standard of European nations, in the art of war it was able to cope with one of the most powerful nations of Europe and to cope successfully. Has that any significance for us? You know that the interests of England in the Pacific ocean are paramount, you know that tn India, Australia, New Zealand, in different parts of the Pacific ocean, she has interests which call for the exercise of all her energy and watchfulness. It is to the credit of old England that she was the first of the nations of Europe to realize the awakening which has taken place in Japan and in 1902 Lord Lansdowne, at that time secretary of state for foreign affairs, thought it best to enter into a treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive between Great Britain and Japan, whereby England has gained an enormous amount of prestige and power. All students of the recent history of Great Britain, those who have followed her history since the accession of Queen Victoria, know that there has been a thorn in the side of England in the power of RuBsia on the frontier of India. Everyone knows that whether it was Lord Derby or Gladstone or Disraeli, every man who had anything to do with questions of eastern relations in Great Britain never went to bed at night but with the thought that perhaps ln the morning he would know that a Russian army was being mobilised on the frontier of India. But from the day of the treaty between England and Japan, from the day especially that Field Marshal Oyama drove the Russian army from Port Arthur, from the time Togo sent the Russian fleet into the waters of the Sea of Japan, from tbat date the frontier of India has been absolutely secure from Russian aggression. Sir, does not this condition of things appeal to the Conservatives who may be present here Is there any Conservative present here, I Bee that there are a few, not many, (Now you will ask me how do I know that there are a few. I am a pretty old bird In these matters and I can see by looking into a man's eye whether he Is a grit or tory, and looking at this audience I can see a few of the Conservative persuasion.) I ask them does not this condition of things appeal to them. Under these circumstances, when it is possible that if there was a war between England and some foreign nation the Japanese and British fleets might fight side by side, Is It not better that we should treat this new nation with consldertaion and respect rather than try to trample on their pride and self esteem. (Applause). Now sir, that Is the position we have taken, and ln the face of the result, I think I may claim that at the next election if there should he a man who comes before you and tells you that you are threatened with being overrun with Asiatic Immigration you will know what answer to give him. Therefore, I hope I shall be pardoned tf I say that in my humble opinion the people of southern British Columbia did not consult their best Interests when they sent my friend Mr. Goodeve to parliament last session. I bave nothing to say against Mr. Goodeve. He ls a respectable gentleman, he li a friend of mine, —the 'power to enjoy to Ihe full life's work and pleasure—comes only with a good digestion.

Limited, Montreal. but be haB one capital fault which should be a bar to the confidence of the people of Kootenay. He is a Tory. That is all the reproach I have to make, but it is a very seriouB reproach. May I be pardoned if I go one step farther and say that in other respects the people of this section of British Columbia did not consult their best interests. Why how old is this city? Ten, fifteen years at most. This town owes its existence largely and* Its prosperity certainly to the policy of the government, which by the grace of God and the will of the Canadian people has been at the head of affairs for the last fourteen years at Ottawa. How so? Well sir, three things have characterized the policy of thiB government. Transportation, immigration and their fiscal policy. In all these things I claim that the policy of the government haB largely contributed, not only to the existence but still fore to the prosperity of this city and all the cities of the Kootenay valley. In 1897, as Boon as we had come into office, we undertook to complete the Crow's Nest railway. Now I ask you fellow countrymen, I ask you citizens of Nelson, what would Nelson be today but for the building of that railway? Sir, what has made this city and all the cities, along that railway is the development of the mineral wealth which has been tapped by that line and which could not bave been utilized but for that railway. The coal measures along that line would be today where they were fifteen yearB ago, still In the bowels of the earth, but for that railway. The other industries that depend upon it, the production of gnld to a large extent, of silver and copper and lead, to a still larger extent, it is the construction of the Crow's Nest railway which has given the impetus, which has brought the great increase of population here (that is now building these cities which are becoming more and more prosperous. The Transcontinental. Not only that but we also undertook to construct a new transcontinental railway. Sir, I know this railway is very far away from you. It may not appeal directly to you, but, sir, I know there is enough patriotism in this part of southern British Columbia to know that although you may not be bene* fited directly by that railway, indirectly It Ib one of the great assets of Ur*t- Ish Columbia at the present time. Not only tbat it is also one of the greatest assets of Canada as .a.whole. Sir, 'hat railway has been combated in e^ery possible form ever since it was proposed in parliament, by the Conservative party. It was not over popular In the rankB of the Liberal party. I had a ministerial crisis over lt, and one of my colleagues, Mr. Blair, resigned over it, but I say now 1 think events have shown that that railway did not come a day too soon and ir there is anything that will make British Columbia more prosperous even than it is at the present time, it Is the opening of that railway. Therefore, I Bay that the policy we have followed Ib a policy which ought to be endorsed and I am sure will be endorsed by the people in this part of British Columbia. Immigration Policy. Then another feature of our policy is in regard to Immigration. I told you that up to the year 1896 Canada made scarcely any progress, we did not even* keep our own population, British Columbia was stagnant, making no progress at all. The same ls true of the prairie provinces, Ontario and Quebec, and it Is true that during the forty years preceding 1896 we did not succeed in keeping the natural increase of our population, but they went over by the thousands, nay the hundred thousands, Into .the United States. But now Blr we have turned ihe tables. It is not the Canadians today who are going into the United States, it is the Americans who are coming into Canada. Sir, in those old days we were overshadowed. For one hundred years we were overshadowed by the great republic to the south. The United States were launched at the time of the war of independence into the world under a halo of glory and for one hundred years they were the magnets that drew every man of energy and enterprise in the world. " Any man anywhere in the world with brains, activity, energy, who felt himself cramped in his native land took his ticket and went to the United States. But those days are passed and the United States is replaced by Canada. It is Canada today who is attracting the gaze of the peoples of the world. The prairies have been filled so that today there ls probably between Lake Superior and the Rocky mountains a population of nearly a million souls. Now, str, Ib lt not true that you people In the southern part of British Columbia have a most valuable trade with this new population in the prairies? They supply the market for your products and furnish the food products that you require and therefore bring nbout the prosperity you now enjoy. Fiscal Policy. A third cause of your prosperity ami of the prosperity of the country is our fiscal policy. The fiscal question is not an easy problem. I have visited those provinces that I have just named. When I was in the prairie provinces 1 met a population of producers of natural products and they were anxious for freedom of trade. As soon as I landed at Vancouver I received ah address from the mayor and board of trade ln which tbey asked for protection. They asked free trade at one end, protection at the'other. I said very well, gentlemen, I will refer your petition and the petition of the prairies to my friend, Mr. Fielding, and I hope he will be able to draw from them, as he did before, a tariff suitable to everyone, There is an old saying that the proof of the pudding is the eating, and I am sure that even my Conservative friends who are present will on fair enough to admit that we have put on the table for them and for all the people ot Canada, a pudding which has been fruitful and whieh haB given us the best food we have had since confederation. There is no doubt our tariff haB been the best tariff ever devised but this tariff fs not perfect. I will not go over the ground covered a moment ago hy Mr. Pardee but let me call your attention to this, that the cardinal feature of the tariff adopted in 1907 was the British preference. On the 23rd of April, 1907, we determined to give to the products of Great Britain a preference of 12 1-2 per cent, which was increased two years afterwards to 25 per cent, and subsequently increased to 33 1-3 per cent. Now this has been a regulation of prices of all goods introduced into Canada which had to pay duty even though they came from Germany, the United States or any other portion of the earth, for in order that they might come into circulation and be used by consumers their prices had to be brought down to the prices of the British, article. It has been a regulator of profits. Let me say also that it is a cardinal and standing feature of the Canadian tariff and as long as we are in office it shall remain there. It was not adopted without much effort and thought. We had a most determined opposition from his majesty's opposition of the Conservative party. They opposed it for two reasons. First they said that such a reduction would kill our manufactures. Well they could not maintain that position very long because the manufactures were not killed, the factory chimneys did not tumble down. On the contrary, more were built And they could not be consistent and honest or even politic by maintaining such an argument. The second objection they raised was that it was not right for us to give a preference to Great Britain unlesB we received a preference in return. Now gentlemen the British policy is a policy of free trade, therefore was not possible for them to give us a preference without changing altogether their fiscal policy. Now whatever may be tbe policy of the Conservative party it is not the policy of this government to ask the British people to change their policy. We claim the right to make our own tariff to Buit our own needs and interests and the right we claim I think ought to be given to the British people as well. We intepd to maintain our policy of preference to Great Britain, leaving it to the British people themselves to give us a preference or not to give It Recording as it may suit their interests to give or withhold it. I have been told that unless there is a mutual agreement between Great Britain and Canada on matters of tariff the British connection will be in jeopardy. What an insult to the Canadian people! Our loyalty does not depend on any tariff agreement, our loyalty is deep rooted in the heart. But there is another country with which we should have better arrangements and a better trade policy. A country of ninety million people, which Ib at our door, a country of kindred blood and kindred race and with which we can certainly have most valuable and profitable trade. Sir, I have often said and it is my opinion still that the relations existing between Canada and Great Britain and the United States are not worthy of such great nations as they are. But I hasten to say also that if the commercial relations between Canada and the United States are not on a better footing, it is not the fault of Canada but of the United States. It was our policy to have a treaty of reciprocity with the United States and indeed in 1896, shortly after we had taken office, I sent two of my colleagues, Sir Louis DavlB and Sir Richard Cartwright, to interview the American government and discuss with them whether it was possibie to improve our trade relations. We were received politely but with a cold shoulder and from that moment I said goodbye to Washington. I determined that there should be no more pilgrimages to Washington. That if there were to be any more pilgrimages they should be from Washington to Canada. (Prolonged applause). Reciprocity. We have not since tbat time sent a delegation to Washington but it so happened tbat a delegation came from Washington to Ottawa. I understand that it is possible that we shall have overtures for reciprocity with the United States. Such overtures we are at all times prepared to meet. I am always a great admirer of the American people. They have a great many splendid qualities and they have one quality which is perhaps more prominent than any other one. It ls that they always stand for number one and for my part I think tt would be well for us to take a leaf from their book and if we are to have negotiations tor reciprocity we nlso should stand for number one. But, sir, 1 can Bee that there are many things concerning which we might have better relations with the United States. Something however has to be kept In mind. First we have to keep ln mind the British preference. Nothing is to interfere with that. Then we have trade relations with other nations In the world. We have our treaty with France, with Japan, and. we bave to take care that the new concessions of trade given to those nations shall not The New Furs Are In We cordially invite the many visitors to Nelson to come in and see our fine display of the new season's furs.

Eagle Block Baker Street be interfered with. And everyone knows who knows anything of these questions, that there are a number of articles in which we can trade with the United States without interfering with our trade in Great Britain. We must remember also that the United States nre far in advance of us in regard to other articles and we have to take care that no treaty we negotiate shall put in Jeopardy any existing interest. With these two exceptions I think it would be well to try and Improve our relations with our neighbors. But, sir, a strange thing has taken place. I hear already echoes which come to me In this far part of the country from the Conservative press in Toronto and elsewhere, that objection is taken already to negotiating any treaty with the United States on the ground that it will interfere with and put in jeopardy our trade relations with Great Britain. Sir, what more absurd position could be taken. If there be any way whereby we could improve our trade relations with Great Britain it is by having a friendlier relation with the United States. The more we are on friendly terms with the American people tbe more satisfactory will be our relations with Great Britain, because Great Britain has no better customer than the United States and the United States has no better customer than Great Britain, and the relations are mutually beneficial, and If we were lucky enough we should do Great Britain a benefit by securing a fair commercial treaty with the United States. But it is characteristic of the Conservative party that whenever a step forward Ib made by Canada It is opposed by them on the ground that it is going to Jeopardize the relation of Canada to Great Britain. The old reformers, there may be some, not many in thiB audience, will remember the old struggle that took place In Ontario and Quebec for responsible- government. They remember also the efforts made at the time the reformers Baldwin, Lafontaine and William Lyon Mackenzie, were opposed by the tory party because they said it would injure the British connection. But, sir, responsible government instead of jeopardizing British connection has been the means of making it dearer if possible to the Canadian people. Now we are told that if we improve our relations with the United States we shall endanger the British connection. And only last winter, hardly four months ago, we were told that if we would build a Canadian navy we would also injure the British connection. There has never been a step taken by the Canadian people in the course of their advancement as a nation but it was opposed by the Conservative party on the ground thnt it would injure tho British connection. Canadian Navy Why did we introduce Uie policy of the Canadian navy? Sir. we did it in 1910 because in 1909 the Canadian parliament passed a unanimous resolution, voted for by Mr. Borden, by Mr. Foster, by the whole Conservative party, with- (Continued on Page Eight.)

POSEN, Aug. 28.—The festivltles-as a warning to the Poles to recognize Prussia mastery, with which the Kaiser's cat-tie here was opened, began at 4 o'clock In the afternoon. At that hour the emperor and the empress, the crown prince and the crown princess, the Princess Eltel and August, with their wives. Prince Oscar and Chancellor von Bath- mann-Hollweg arrived and the programme was started. -Thousands of visitors from many parts ot East Prussia poured into the gaily decorated city. At every place throughout Germany the celebration was watched with the keenest interest owing to the uncertain attitude of the Polish population. The majority ol the Poles announced their Intention of keeping aloof from the ceremony, though no anti-German demonstrations were threatened. It is probable that the Kaiser's reception by the people for the next few days will be slgnifl- oantly cool. The palace, the fifty-first owned by the emperor, to maintain which he recently sold two of his smaller country places, has been built for reasons of state, to symbolize ti> the Poles the Prussian supremacy in German Poland. It has been assigned by the emperor as the permanent residence of Prince Eltel Freidrlch, his second boh.

EAST KOOTENAY J. Jones ot Windermere and Frank Richardson of Athalmer have been appointed justices of the peace in and for the province of British Columbia. A carload of Cranbrook grown vegetables were shipped last week from that city to Fernie. A race meet Is to be held at Athalmer on September 7. Mike Mazur, a Slavonian, of Michel, is in jail at Fernie, charged with the unlawful wounding of Aleck Honta, a fellow countryman. The accused, lt Is alleged, struck Honta on the head with a double bitted axe, felling him to the ground. The assault followed an Interview between the two men regarding the payment of a debt, which the wounded man offered to make in part. Honta lies in the Hosmer hospital ln a precarious condition. An effort Is being made to induce J. S. Dennis, O. P. R. land commissioner of Calgary, to officiate at the opening of the Cranbrook fall fair on September 21. It is probable that the board of trade of that city will offer a handsome cash prize for the best essay on Cran- brook's advantages from an agricultural standpoint. The boys' brigade will parade and it is expected that there will be a large attendance from outside points. A. Barnes has heen appointed guardian of the peace for the district north of Cranbrook on the Kimberley branch with headquarters at Marysville. The Btrlke recently made on the Guindon group of claims on the west side of Moyie lake is said to be holding its width. Samples of ore have been taken Into Moyie and are on display in the window of the Leader oftlce. The Moyie volunteer fire brigade will give a dance on the evening of September 12, for the purpose of raising funds for the purchase of additional equipment. The death is announced at Vancouver of Mrs. Routh, wife of P. G. Routh, formerly provincial constable at Moyie. Rev. Father Cboinei, for six years parish priest at Cranbrook, leaves that city this week for Grand Forks, to which city he has been transferred. He will be succeeded at Cranbrook by Rev. Father Plamondon of Vancouver. James Robey, whose back was fractured a short time ago at Coal Creek, died In the hospital at Fernie Friday morning. Deceased was 35 years old. It is believed that his wife and family are en route to Fernie from tbe old country. This contention is based upon the fact that be had written them a few days previous to the accident asking them to join him.

Largely Reinforced by German Capital LONDON, "Aug. 27—The sea of international politics has been calm for months. Such changes as have been seen have been towards a placidity more Ideal. Only -within the past few days have evidences begun to appear of the work of strong (undercurrents which promise developments of (the first magnitude, The conflicting elements are naturally centered in the European powers <m ont side and Great Britain, Russia and France on the other. And the object in view haa been to decide Into which scale Turkey should ibe tinotwn. The maneouvres and negotiations have so far advanced that lt la'asserted in well informed circles, which would be loath to admit It, that Turkey will join ■the Triple Alliance within a short time This would imply an important change of sentiment on the part of the Young Turks. German influence was predominant at Constantinople during the last years of Abdul Hamld's reign, but the new government openly expressed its British sympathies, which it was supposed si ill survived. It was natural that the porta should regard with some misgiving the entente reached by Great Britain niid Russia, for the Turk still considers the Muscovite Wa natural enemy. Last March, however. Russia renewed her good understanding with Turkey on the basis of friendliness to the new Turkish constitution and the maintenance of the status quo through the whole Balkan provinces. i It Is well known in diplomatic circles that a strong effort was made during the latest Cretan crisis to lead Turkey to believe that the protecting powers, Great Britain, Russia, France and Italy were wilfully careless of Turkish prestige and Interest in that most turbulent Island, a matter In regard to which Turkish susceptibilities are peculiarly sensitive. * Austria Steps In Then, within a few days Grand Vizier Hakkl Bey had a long visit at Marien- ibad with Baron von Aerenthal, the Austrian foreign minister and Djavld Bey, the finance minister, wag cordially received by the authorities of Berlin ana Vienna. DJavld Bey announced rather truculently that he wanted a loan of six million pounds, presumably to pay for battleships which Turkey was buy- HUM any guarantees. He said the pledge of the new government was quite security enough. The Ottoman Bank refused to advance the money unles3 it was secured by the national debt. Djavid Bey then got the cash on his own terms from the Credit Mobllier, but without in any way consulting the French government. The Credit Mobllier within the past year has been largely reinforced by German capital and Is entirely Independent of the French government. Turkey was also encouraged to believe that with Austro-German guarantees she can gain local command of the sea in the eastern Mediterranean, which hitherto has been held hy Greece. Add to Oils Turkey's desire for a long period of quiet reconstruction nnd it (becomes apparent that the temptation to make a virtual alliance with the central European (powers is strong. Russia Would Resent It Such a move, however, would have other effects, which are not reassuring. Russia would deeply resent it and probably regard It a fresh piece of treachery by Austria, Nevertheless the czar Is in no position at present to give expression to his opposillon. Italy also will regard such a development as a new and bitter grievance agnlnst Austria, her nominal, but best, hated ally. "Whether this feeling would he sufficiently strong to drive Italy into an Anglo-Rnsslan-French combination is a maitter of speculation. Such a Turkish union with Germany and Austria would cause deep exasperation in Great Britain, for its future effects in India and Egypt are unpleasant /to contemplate but with the present government in power not a finger will tbe raised, to prevent it. *************************** For Sale Splendidly *uilt hotel, steam heated, contains 30 furnished (bedrooms, usual offices, also laundry attached.

CROWDED RINK HEARS LAURIER (Continued from page rive) out a word of dissent, affirming that the time had come when the Canadian people ought themselves to have a navy and relieve the British tax payer to some extent of the burden of caring for the defence of the whole empire on the seas. That was In 1909. In 1910 when we came to Implement this resolution we were met hy denial on the part of the opposition. There had 'heen a change of front and a change of heart also. These gentlemen told us "No, don't build a Canadian navy." What was their policy? Have they any policy to offer? None whatever. They are" a divided party on that.

PATENAUDE, MANUFACTURING JEWELER, WATCHMAKER AND OPTICIAN policy in Quebec and a different policy in the other provinces for the Conservative .party. There Is a deep line of cleavage between the two branches. Now, in Confederation we are not of all the same race. In Quebec the great majority of the people come from the race to which I belong. They are of French extraction. In the other provinces I need not tell you that the great majority are of British extraction. In those provinces they say that the policy taken is not sufficient, does not go far enough. You must also pay a contribution to the British exchequer towards the maintenance of the British navy. But in the French provinces it Is "You go too far." You have no 'business to spend a dollar for the building of a Canadian navy which may be called upon to fight against the enemles of England. The aim is to destroy the government. They attack it on one Bide in one -part of Can- Ada and on the.other side In the other part Well, sir;*? have only to say that the Canadian government did not In this or any other question of policy appeal to race or province but stand on the broad ground of Canadian nationality. (Applause.) It may cost us ■ something; it may cost us power. I do not believe it, 'because I believe that on this occasion as on all occasions we can appeal to the common sense, to the fairness of the Canadian people, irrespective of race, creed or nationality, At all events, that is the policy we have adopted and I present It to you my fellow countrymen, and I hold that when the time comes we will have your en* dorsation of It by the whole people of Hritish Columbia as "*e nnve had it endorsed by the great majority of the representatives of the Canadian people in parliament. I have now exposed to you in these broad general terms the principal issues upon which I appeal to you and] if it shall not be my privilege to come again to visit you for many years, I would be only to pleased if ,lt were possible for me to hope that I might come again, but sir, when the.time comes for the next battle, I hope these few imperfect remarks may not have fallen on barren soil but that they will bear Borne fruit. At all events, I ask this, that if the people of British Columbia will reflect how much they have been deceived on one occasion they will not allow themselves to be deceived again. • I have only one word to add and to ' me it is far more pleasant, and that is to offer you, as I do from the bottom of my heart, an expression of my deep gratitude for the more than kind welcome which I have received at the hands of my fellow citizens of Nelson.
