CLASSIFIED AD8 I CENT A WORD Wfr VOL. 9 NELSON, B. C, TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 6, 1910 lift eMative ^ HEIGHT PAGES— W\, 60 CENTS A MONTH EC 9 1910 —1 '■ ^ior.a,^ POLLINGS STILL DRAWN BATTLE Conservatives Retain Slight Advantage. LITTLE CHANGE IN NEXT PARLIAMENT Torchlight Processions in Streets of London—Politic- , al Clubs Thronged. LONDON, Deo, 5—Canadian Associated Press—The state of the parties tonight is Unionist, ,115; Liberal, 83; Socialists, 13; Nationalists, 16. The votes cast are; Unionists 644,513, against 703,073. "The Radicals had another bad day," says the Dally Mall. "Another shat- terlng blow was dealt hy the electors at the pretentions of the peers yesterday. The Tory party's last fain hopes of success were extinguished finally," declares the Morning Chronicle. Draw Battle Perhaps a more impartial judgment on the day's results would be that they constitute something very Kke a drawn battle with a slight advantage to the Conservatives, The Chronicle's views, however, are far from justified by the balance qt five seats gained which, despite Lord Rosebery's pronouncement, does not make much of an impression on the majority of 122 when one-third of the seats In the commons are already filled and with Scotland and Wales yet to be polled, *1 Small Majoritet It is probable that ithe ministerialists are glad it Is no worse for several seats fought were really very small majorities ln the January elections. Tbat only two London seats should turn over and these held by a majority of 10 and. 31 Is not considered unsatisfactory. On Tuesday if anything tbe opposition have the worst of the post* tlon as regards the strength of the constituencies contested. Only in one case, Kennington, is the Liberal (majority le* lwo 600, while Woolwich and Burnley, where the Unionist majorities are email give the Liberals hopes of gains. The Unionists have hopes of winning Bat- tersea, where, however, Hon. John Burns has put up a hurricane fight.. The government majority ls now estimated on the stock exchange at from 83 to 88, while the premium against the return of the Liberals has been reduced from. 25 to 15 per cent. No Hope of Vlotory LONDON, Deo. 5—The results today merely confirm the opinion formed as the result of Saturday's contests that the Unionists have now no possible hope of replacing the Liberal government in power. The only question remaining le whether the Liberals will return with a 'larger or smaller majority. It must be remembered, however, that the Liberals lost at the January elections a large number of seats on account of three cornered fights. Such [^contests are largely eliminated in the present elotlon and this may give the Liberals sufficient gains to balance those of the Unionists. On the whole lit seems likely that the new house of icommons will meet with the position of the parties practically unchanged. The ouestion will then arise whether the King will feel justified In giving guarantees for the creation of enough [Liberal peers to force the veto bill through ithe house. Capital Unchanged Apparently the metropolis ls much ! the eame as In January In its attitude towards the contesting parties. Per* haps rather significant are some of the Liberal gains such as Wakefield, a ca* [ithedrai city, which has been represent- [|ed by a Unionist for eight years and [Cheltenham, another Tory stronghold, ' ind a residential city largely composed 'of retired officers. It is also notable itbat in the Royal borough of Windsor, lithe Liberals succeeded In reducing the 'Unionist majority. These signs of conversion of the traditionally Conservative middle classes may be an Indication of a similar change In the country agricultural districts which went almost entirely Unionist In January. H. A..Franklin, who attempted to ss* lault home secretary Churchill on Nov. was today sentenced to six weeks. London Enthusiastic London tonight iB displaying much {enthusiasm and the successful candidates are ibeintr borne in processions (through the streets with torch lights. ■As the returns, come In showing the looseness of the contest interest is ■greatly Increased and vast crowds gathered in Fleet street, Trafalgar Square Bind other places where the results Ijvere shown, cheering and boo-hooing liccording to their political affiliations. I There were similar scenes In liver- Bjool, Leeds and other towns, where Ejections were held. The weather improved greatly during the afternoon and livening so that crowds were enabled to watch 'ths returns 4s>^out discomfort. T>.. Clubs Thronged ip , The political clubs were flOV with members. At the Carleton and other Unionist places much disappointment was expressed, while in Liberal quarters the greatest enthusiasm prevailed for It was (predicted even.among the staunchest supporters of the government that the Unionists would make a net gain of eight seats ln today's polling. Among members returned unopposed is AM. Daniel Boyle ot North Mayo. Mr. Boyle won the seat last January by only 40 votes snd his unopposed re- (turn now ls attributed to appreciation of his services in accompanying John E. Redmond on his recent mission to America. Mr. Redmond tonight Issued a pubilo denial of the allegation made by a Conservative candidate tbat iu a public speech he repudiated allegiance to the King. Blame Asquith > Taking a line from Mr. Balfour's speech at Sheffield last night most of the Unionist ntornlng papers blame Premier Asquith for "rushing" the elections on the old register and as a further excuse for the failure of the Unionists to make a better showing at the polls, they complain that they did not have sufficient time to perfect 'their organization. - Yesterday's Results.

"There is no doubt that the city has the least capacity of any organization, to handle the care of Its aged people. It would be much better to get the Charity organization or the Salvation Army to do this work for us. The city council are mere men." It was ln connection with an application for aid, before the city council, on behalf of an aged lady, that Mayor Selous recognized and put on record the limitations of his sex. No alderman challenged the mayor's version of it, for in this regard the present council's career has been somewhat Inglorious. When the present council came into office, It had as a legacy an Old-Man- of-the-Sea in the shape of an aged lady dependent on the city's support, who occupied a shack that once on a time belonged to Mayor Selous, and that at the beginning of the year encroached on one of the city streets. For several years endeavors have been made to persuade this lady to accept a borne in the comfortable Institution at Victoria, but she has held the fort against all opposition. At the beginning of the present year the owner of the shack aBked that she be dispossessed. Aid. McDonald, though warned in a kindly spirit by both Mayor Selous and Aid. iMackenzle that tbe task of conciliating the old lady was beyond ordinary human skill, was firm ln the opinion that moral suasion was what the situation required. He was deputed to apply it. At the end of one jveek he asked for more time and at the end of the second he threw up his hands. No other alderman desiring to brave the lady's wrath, she Is still undisturbed in her castle, whither the city's bounty Is conveyed to her at regular intervals. The second case came to the notice of the council one week ago, and Mayor Selous was delegated t/» secure information'regarding the applicant." The prominent point In the information he acquired from the ladies of the Charity organization, was that a home in the Old Ladies Home In Victoria had been offered to this old lady, and she had declined it. It was while pointing out the advisability of keeping the upper hand in future cases that the mayor made the remaTTT above quoted. The old lady's case is under consideration. Aid. Carrie reported against the second crossing at the corner of Stanley and Innis streets at the present juncture. Mayor Selous remarked that the weather would . soon terminate Aid. Carrie's labors as chairman of the board of works. Asks About Financial Statement. Aid. Rutherford inquired whether the parties to whom the grant of $200 had been paid, toward taking the Kootenay exhibit to the Canadian National Apple show at Vancouver, would issue any financial statement. J. W. Cockle, who was in charge of the Kootenay exhibit, In paying him his prize money, had deducted ?4 for freight. He was under the impression tbat the $200 covered the freight. If he was wrong, be did not of course object to paying the charge. Mayor Selous asked whether Mr. Cockle had not at the first issued a schedule of charges. The general opinion was that courtesy should BUggest to the central committee that an accounting of some kind was desirable. ■ ■ The council adjourned in record time the Bession being but 20 minutes long, and thus the shortest of the year. There being no heavy business In sight, It was decided to adjourn for two weeks. Those present were Mayor Selous and Aldermen Rutherford, McDonald, Mackenzie and Carrie.

OFFICIAL WELCOME TO PAPAL LEGATE Attendance of Speaker Militia at Church Function, and OTTAWA, Dec. 6—Tbis was the first private members' day of the session. As usually is the case when the memlbers have their initial innings .the parliamentary grist was a big one. A large number of questions which have accumulated on the order paper since the house opened were answered. In replying to a series of questions by W. D. Staples Sir Wilfrid Laurier made public the correspondence which had taken place between himself and Premier Roblln of Manitoba in respect to the boundary negotiations of the past few months. Another Interesting question was answered In respect to the action of Administrator Girouard in sending a message to Cardinal Vannu- telH on the occasion of his arrival in 'Canada. Sir Wilfrid Laurier's statement was that the administrator had sent the message without consulting the government. There was an interesting discussion just before the houae rose In connection with the discussion of a motion by F. D. Monk for tlie appointment of a committee to Inquire into the alleged blocking of an investment by a Dutch company in western land mortgages by a Canadian who reported that western lands are being held at fictitious values. Sir Wilfrid read a letter from Sir Charles Pitzpatrick which revealed the fact that Mr. Preston had mentioned the chief justice as being partly responsible lor" giving this advice to the Dutch company. Sir Charles denied Mr. Preston's statement and urged that a committee be named. In view of his denial It was agreed not to authorize the appointment of a committee at least for the present. All correspondence In connection with tbe matter will be tabled, however. Demands Investigation Just before the house rose Mr. Monk moved a couple of resolutions in respect to the Netheriand Loan company which proposed to do business in western Canada. One resolution called for ail correspondence between W. T. R. Preston, commissioner of trade for Canada in Holland, and the government and the other called for a full inquiry into the matter by the bouse. The company proposed to do a big business and when ready had been advised by some one that western Canada lands were being held at fictitious values which prevented the company from doing as they had proposed. Sir Wilfrid in reply stated that it would be quite proper for the government to make such an enquiry if H were shown that a memfber of the government had given such damaging information, but were it a private citizen it would be Inadvisable for the government to do so. Inquiry had been made and it was learned that a private citizen was responsible. Motion Withdrawn Sir Wilfrid read a letter frc l Sir Charles Fitapatrick, chief justice of Canada, In which it was stated that he had not been Informed that it had ibeen mentioned by Mr. Preston that he, Sir Charles, had made these false statements. This he absolutely denied and asked that a committee ibe appointed to investigate. Sir Wilfrid stated, Mr. Monk would probably agree with him that the chief Justice would be Incapable of such action and his denial should be accepted. After some further discussion Mr. Monk finally withdrew his motion, Mr. Borden also stating that the denial of tbe chief justice should be accepted. Manitoba's Boundaries W. D, Staples, Macdonald, Manitoba, asked' 1. Did the right honorable, the premier on the evening of July 12, 1910 at the city of Winnipeg at a public meeting give utterance to the following words or words of similar import: "You have been told that I am an enemy of mler of Canada and the government or don't want to give justice to you. I have written to Mr. Roblln, and I repeat here, 'let him come to Ottawa, where we can discuss what is (fair and just and see If we can agree upon what is proper, either in land or In money for the increased territory of Manitoba. What more can we do? If .the province of Manitoba continues to be on the map a postage stamp, It will not Ibe my fault, it will be his." 2. Has there been any correspondence between ithe government or premier of Canada and the government or premier of Manitoba since, July 12, 1910, with reference to the Manitoba boundary question? Yes. 3. Has the right honorable, the first minister, invited the premier of the government of Manitoba since July 12, 1910, to a conference for the purpose of discussing the boundary queston? Yes. 4. Has the government or premier of Manitoba since the said date requested an interview to discuss this question? 5. Has there been any discussion bd tween the two governments or the premiers of the respective governments since the said date in regard to the Manitoba boundary question? 6. If there has been no discussion what is the cause of the delay. 1. Does the province of Manitoba continue to be on the map still a postage stamp? If so whose fault is it? 8. Can the right honorable, the first minister state what he is willing to concede either In land or money for the increased territory of Manitoba? 9. Has the right honorable, the first minister or the government intimated to tlie government of Manitoba what he or they are willing to concede In lands or money? Premier Replies Sir Wilfrid Laurier in reply said he had given utterance to the words quoted or to words of similar Import. He then read the correspondence which had passed between himself and Mr. Roblln. Sir Wilfrid added: "There was an interview between the premier of Manitoba and the prime minister on Nov. 25, 1910. At that interview it was suggested by the nrime minister to the premier of Manitoba that as the question to be settled according to the solution of July 13, 1908, was the financial terms to ihe granted to the province in consequence of the extension of its boundaries, it would not be advisable to discuss the same then and there on account of the absence of the minister of finance but that negotiations would he resumed on his return to Ottawa. If the province of Manitoba still continues to be a postage stnmp on the map blame is not with the present government of Canada." In replv to questions eight and nine, Sir Wilfrid said he was prepared to d'a- cuss them on the lines adopted iby the house on July 13, 190S. In reference to tbe parade of the 63rd reelment at the time of the Eucharlstie congress Sir Frederick Borden stated that no euards of honor were authorized in addition to those customary. "It is deemed expedient to receive distinguished personages" he added. "The G5th regiment did parade at the Eucharlstie congress during the carrying of the host and were equipped with rifles and bayonets. They paraded voluntarily under.the authority of the commanding officer of the regiment, Lieut.-<CoI, Labelle." In this connection It might be stated that it bas been customary for many years past in Montreal, Quebec and elsewhere for French Canadian regiments of militia to attend the feast of Corpus Christi and parade arms. Speaker's Attendance Sir Wilfrid Laurier answered the question in regard to tbe action of the speaker, Mon. Charles Marcel. He stated that there is a rule or practice of the house of commons which governs the wearing of his official robes by the speaker during recess but that he can be accompanied Iby tlie mace only when parliament is in session or when specially authorized to do so by the house of commons. He was Informed by bis honor the speaker that he did take part in a solemn religious procession in September last in the city of Montreal, but that he did not do so in his official capacity and accompanied by the mace which is the emblem of his office. The government is not aware of any precedent in the matter although there may have been occasions when speakers of Canadian legislatures have under similar conditions in the past attended such celebrations. On such occasions It Is customary in the province of Quebec for judges of the higher courts to appear in their official robes and his honor the speaker holding the rank of a magistrate informs the government that on the occasion referred to he appeared similarly attired as a mark of respect for the solemnity of the occasion. Administrator's Message Replying to Dr. Sproule in regard to sending by Administrator Girouard of a message conveying to Cardinal Vannu- telli the respects of tbe government of Canada, Sir Wilfrid Laurier said that Mr. Justice Girouard did not consult the ministers of the crown nor received the advice of any of them before sending the message. Coronation Contingent Col. Sam Hughes asked if it was the intention of the government to send a number of Canadian cadets of the Royal Military college to the coronation of King George in June next Sir Fred Borden said tbat no official invitation to send a military contingent had been received. When the proper time comes the matter will be considered, Sir Wilfrid Laurier informed Dr. Sproule that the government hid not yet reached a conclusion as to the pro- iposal to give federal assistance to the international exposition contemplated by the neople of Winnipeg and the west to be held In Winnipeg in 1914. Co-operative Bill A. M. Martin, Regina, introduced a bill respecting co-operation. He explained that It waa to provide for tlie establishment of co-operative societies In Canada similar to those in Great Britain. Lloyd Harris had a bill for the same object last Bession. It was vigorously opposed by the retail merchants of Canada, F. F. Pardee Introduced a bill to promote the safety of employees and travellers on railways by (the InBpec- (Contlnued on page five.) WILL ASK FOR Great Waterways Company Makes Final Fight. GOVERNMENT WILL SETTLE CLAIMS Resolution Asking for Control of Natural Resources Passes Alberta Legislature. EDMONTON, Alta., Dec. 5—Further intimation that the provincial govern- ment intends to seitlo any just claims arising out of foreclosure of the Great Waterways agreement was given by, Premier Sifton ln the legislature yesterday afternoon when he stated In committee of the whole that it was his intention to introduce a bill in a few days which would provide for the meeting of all jTTst claims by the province. This refers to the claims which will be made by contractors and others who were not settled with by the railway company. The legislature passed in committee ot the whole the Great Waterways bill and It will be finally passed on Wednesday. An appeal will be made to Ottawa hy the Great Waterways people to hnve the bill cancelled, under the clause in the Autonomy act, providing for unfair legislation. Control of Resources. The natural resources resolution as amended hy George P. Smith of Cam- rose, unanimously passed the legislature yesterday afternoon. The opposition which had supported the original resolution also voted for the amendment since in Mr. Bennett's words, it was better that the legislature should present a united front to the Dominion parliament, in urging for the securing ot control of natural resources. , Bramlcy-Moore's original resolution had read that the government be called upon to enter Into negotiations with the Dominion government to secure control of such natural resources as are of purely local concern and that they be urged to continue such negotiations." This Is the conclusion of one of the most important debates tbat has ever been taken in the legislature.

UNITY OF FAITH ONLY IN ROMAN CHURCH Cardinal Gibbons Praises Sentiment Favorable to Church Union—One Fold, One Shephard. BALTIMORE, Dec. 5—In his sermon at the cathedral yesterday,, Cardinal Glhhons praised the sentiment favorable to church union expressed by the recent triennial convention of the Protestant Episcopal church held in Cincinnati. He said in part: "At that convention the members adopted resolutions making for the unity and redemption of all Christendom. My brethren, we praise the members of .that church for their action because they reflect honor on their heads and hearts, and I join with them in praying that the day may be hastened when Christ's words that there shall be one fold and one shepherd, will be fulfilled. There cannot be unity of faith, however, if there iB to he more than one church or if there is to be more than one head. Our lord and saviour, Jesus Christ, never intended that there should he many churches. Mv dear brethren, common sensp-alnnn without divine revelation, ought to impress upon us the absolute necessity of unity of faith. This unity can be found only in the Holy Roman and Catholic Apostolic church of which the Pope of Rome, the regent of Christ is the MAN'S GREATEST ASSET ls physical strength and bodily health.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 5—A complete reorganization of the Ancient Order ot United Workmen, the oldest fraternal insurance order in the United States, is expected to be brought about at a meeting of the supreme lodge which began in this city today with prominent representatives of the order present from 23 states. Tho affairs of the order have been entangled in litigation for several years and the present meeting is the first that the supreme lodge has held stuce 1907. The litigation which has proven rather disastrous to the order, both as regards membership and finances, grew out of the refusal of certain grand lodges in other states. Some of the grand lodges withdrew rather than pay the extra assessments, while others took the matter Into the courts. A court decision was finally returned In favor of the Bupreine lodge and now the representatives of the several states have come together to make an amicable arrangement and to decide upon such changes in the laws of the order as may be deemed necessary to meet the objections of the grand lodgeB and to restore the order to that condition ot prosperity which it has enjoyed iu the past.

Taylor, who visited Bruce gardens, near Blueberry creek, a new settlement on the Columbia river, last Frl- day, in conversation with a representative of The Daily News on Saturday pointed to that place ns an example of the remarkable progress that has been made during the past few years in the fruit ranching industry and in the development of the many ranches of the district. "Bruce Gardens," said Mr. Taylor, "ls rapidly being Bettled up and the progress that haB been made by the various newcomers to the tract, which is now completely colonized with the exception of four or five small blocks is remarkable. Tho results gained by the ranchers there Is an excellent example of what can really he done by the newcomer who settles down to hard work upon his newly acquired property, even though It may be wild land covered with pines and heavy brush. "George Wharf, for instance, has cut and slashed an eleven acre tract and planted four acres ln trees since May. During this period of about six months ho, has also built a five room cottage, a chicken house and a greenhouse.' Mr. Wharf ls very enthusiastic regarding the fruit growing possibilities of the Kootenays and is making a nice income from his poultry raising. "Another settler, William Opp, who is postmaster, has recently opened up a general store and reports that business is excellent. Mr. Opp has been at Bruce Gardens for about two years and has more than half cleared a ten acre tract and set tt out in fruit trees. "Mr. Beresford, late of Prank, Alta., is a most energetic rancher.

WINNIPEG, Dec. 5—Commslsloner Justice Robson, inquiring into Rev. Dr. Shearer's charges heard another aspect of the situation when J. A. M. Atkins, K. C\. appeared for respectable residents In the vicinity of the segregated area. Heretofore the evidence tended to show that the district wns seemingly well ordered and nothing to indicate itB character displayed. Several residents of the neighborhood testified to indecent exposures both of girls and men, of women being accosted on their own property, of foul language, of forcing or endeavoring to force their way into respectable houses. One man who was so pestered stated that it was significant that after a breeze with a patrolman, who said he was unable to watch his house all the time, the resident threatened to send the next Intruder to the hospital, and that he had then been undisturbed for four months, hut recently the nuisance had started again and he lately chased two men a considerable distance. Evidence was given of depreciation of values of properties and of families. forced to abandon bouses, which in at least one case had since been occupied by prostitutes and it was pointed out that a considerable number] of children in the neighborhood were inl danger of contamination. Mrs. Morefieldl said that on complaining to Chief Mc-1 Rae, he had advised if she did not like It to get out and live on a vacant lot ln a tent. The chief was called and de* nled this, later explaining that Mrs, Morefleld had sought him about differ ent matters and that Incidentally aia- cussing this, he had advised her to. move out and rather take a tent on the prairie.

Investors' Trust & Mortgage Corporation, Ltd. 134 Hattlngi St., West Vancouver, B.C. Notion Office: With E. B. McDermid Baker Street Fort George Pioneer Takes Talking Trip C. W. Moore Starts on Tour of American and Canadian Cities to Tell of Resources and Development of Central B.C.-Advocates Trunk Wagon Roads Mr. Charles W. Moore, the pioneer farmer of Fort George, who is doing missionary work for the district under the auspices of the Fort George Commercial club, left yesterday for Edmonton, his first stopping place In a prolonged tour that Will embrace a number of western Canada and American cities, and that will occupy some months. Mr. Moore's mission is to give rella Me and first hand information to those Interested in Central British Columbia ae to its natural resources, its development and business opportunities. ^ This campaign of information commenced with the New Westminster fair, at which Fort George was represented by an agricultural exhibit of remarkable variety and excellence. Above the tastefully arranged exhibit was a (banner, notifying all and sundry that "these products had been brought 320 miles to the nearest point on railroad," Discussing his mission with Tho World, Mr. Moore'said that since leaving the coming metropolis of the north, nothing had pleased him more than the knowledge—much of It specific and accurate—that the people he had met seemed to have of Fort George. "People In Vancouver and Victoria," he said, "talk about the Nechaco district, the Mud river and Salmon river country and tlie Bulkeley valley with almost aa much familiarity as myself. They all seem to cense the fact that big developments are beginning in that country. They seem to believe, almost as thoroughly as I do—though their opinion Is not, of course, based on such personal knowledge—that somewhere in Central British Columbia is going to he a big city, and . the general belief agrees with my own, that the natural location for this city is at the Junction of tlie Fraser and the Nechaco, where the Grand Trunk Pacific will cross. "When at New Westminster fair every minute of my time was taken up in answering enquiries as to the farming lands, the lumber, or the minerals of the country around Fort George, of the business chances in the young city, the cost of living, the cost of getting there, and many other questions that men actually Interested in a new country would naturally ask. I tell you I was never more tired in my life at the end of a day's work than when I was talking about Fort George at the Royal City fair. I had no samples of the timber in that country and was not In a position to give complete or very reliable information concerning its minerals, ibut I think that, with the help of the grains and vegetables I brought down, I convinced everybody who talked to me that Fort George wag surrounded by a good farming country, and that its farm products would bear comparison with that of any otfler pa"t of British Columbia," Asked as to the plan aud purpose of this tour Mr. Moore said: "Next spring there will be a tremendous rush into the Fort George country. There would have been this past summer, but that every possible means was taken to dl ssuade settlers from going to a place a .together unprepared for any inrush. But by next spring Fort George will be ready to welcome all who care to come. A fine new hotel with 100 rooms has been erected, a water supply system installed, there are banks, a long distance telephone connection, stores and other things that are really wonderful when one considers that a year ago there were but seven white people in the place, "My purpose is to go to those towns and cities whence the Fort George Commercial club has received the largest number of enquiries and give those Interested the facts about the country, The Fort George citizens regard this as necessary and important, since, to judge by the correspondence we receive, the ideas prevailing aihout Fort George and the Nechaco country, among those not residents of British Columbia, aro almost always hazy and often quite Incorrect," Fort George Will be the Last Great City of the West Forty acres of good land near if will make you Independent.

Jem was a natural born lighter, so we tied up for two years. Ho knew more about hoxing than any man on earth, excepting me, because I learned all lie ever knew before wa were together a week. We had a rule for boxing. It was to land a left bander at the right time and in tho right place. That's how wo won.

PROTECTIONIST DOLLARS AND FREE TRADE IN BRITAIN If it should happen that at the con* elusion ot the present election in the United Kingdom, the government is found to depend upon the vote of the Redmond Nationalists for a majority, then there will be witnessed the remarkable spectacle of a free trade government kept in power in one country as a result of the dollars contributed by protectionists in another country. The Redmond Nationalists depend upon funds raised mainly from contributions secured in the United States. Some money, it is true, was secured in Canada by Mr. O'Connor, who gave an account of the aims of his party very different from that since given by Mr. Redmond and who owes an explanation to his Canadian audiences. But most of the campaign fund upon which the Redmondites depend for their political existence came from the United States, and was contributed by protectionists. There is no free trade party in the American republic; the Democrats are simply for a more moderate degree of protection than their opponents. If Great Britain gives a majority for the Unionists against the free trade party, and it, nevertheless, the free trade party is maintained iu power by the votes of the Irish Nationalists who care nothing for that policy and who are maintained politically by the dollars of American protectionists, some additional point will be given to Mr. Balfour's demand for the introduction of the referendum. A. & G. W. TOWNSITES. Despite the frantic efforts of Mr. Cross, his friends and his subsidized agents, Premier Slfton's bill eliminating the Clarke company from the situation has been passed by a substantial majority. That does not necessarily mean that the Alberta government will do nothing for railway construction northward to connect with the navigable waters of the Mackenzie river system. It does not even mean, necessarily, that the railway or Railways which may be built will not be constructed from a point at or near Edmonton, so as to connect with the north and south lines and thus bring the whole province into as direct communication as possible with the north land. But it may mean that a new route will be chosen. And in that case what will become of t!ie townsites along the proposed A. & G. W.? It is singular how little has been heard of those townsites. Copious as has been the literature and the oratory of the A. & G. W. affair, the country has been left singularly in the dark as to what arrangements were made with regard to the townsites along the line. There is nothing about it in the contract.

Que., Oct. », 1907. townsites usually found In th* legislation ot other provinoe* and at the Dominion are to be found there. The company was given a tree hand. It could put townsites where It chose and it need put townsites .nowhere else. All of them were apparently to be the property of tbe company or ot any friends with whom it might make arrangements. No part was reserved to any government or municipality. Is it reasonable to suppose that no decision had been come to as to where tbe townsites were to be? The road had been surveyed, the contract signed, the bonds sold, contracts for part of the line were let, actual construction was begun and a number of miles were graded. Is It conceivable that the business had reached this stage, and yet that persons with the keen financial eyes of Clarke and Cross had not yet given any thought to where the townsites were to be, or how they were to be acquired, and how disposed of? Taking a survey of all the circumstances of the case, it seems quite reasonable to suppose that Clarke's political and business friends ln Edmonton may have suffered more as a result of their acquaintance with him than has yet been made public. Did he tell them where the townsites were to be, did they invest on the strength of this information, did they divide up any of the prospective profits with him? Is Premier Sifton now heartlessly leaving them with their townsites on their hands while a new railway Is to be built with new townsites? "Sweet are the uses of adversity," says the poet. But will poetry prove sufficient to console the A. & G. W. gang? TEN YEARS AGO Extracts Prom The Nelson Dally Tribune of Dee. 6,1900.

A large audience of men attended the Men's Bible class on Sunday afternoon at the Y.M.C.A., and were treated to a moat Instructive address by the Rev. Fred H. Graham, rector ot St. Saviour's church, on the origin of the Bible, and the way it has come down to this modern civilisation in its present state. Before the meeting the orchestra rendered a program of music which was much appreciated. During the meeting, also, solos were rendered by S. C. Step, T. D. DesBrlsay and E. Lupton. The speaker, Introduced by hla honor. Judge Forin, referred to his subject, "The Canonlcitv of the English Bible," as being too extensive to be compressed Into one afternoon's address, as it would take considerable time to bring out all Its interesting points. He traced the history of Holy Writ from the time when first inscribed on the papyrus leaf down to the day when Wycllffc, the father of the Reformation movement in England, gave through his self-sacrificing efforts to the Anglo-Saxon race one of the best versions ever translated from the original documents. The completeness and the co-ordination of the Bible were brought home with peculiar force, and were revealed in a new light. Mr. Graham has consented to give a series of addresses on themes related to that of Sunday, before this weekly gather- lag. These addresses will be given on the first Sunday of the month, and will be spread over a number of months.

Warbunton, Liberal, In moving for an order of the house for copies of all correspondence, reports, surveys, etc., re'atlve to the oyster Industry of Canada and barren bottoms suitable for oyster culture, took some time to point out to -the house that a gradual deple- ion of this industry was taking place In eastern Canada largely due to neglect. In 1882 he said the production of oysters from beds lu Prince Edward Island amounted to 57,042 barrels and last year It had fallen to 9672 barrels and the receptacles were of smaller size than formerly. The oyster beds were now impoverished, he declared, and he suggested rthat the government make an arrangement with the maritime provinces to acquire the land, as It already owned the water where oys- iter beds were to ibe found and grant a lease conditionally upon the beds being properly worked.

OTTAWAS OPPOSE BROCKVILLE OTTAWA, Dec. 5—The Ottawas met today and decided to oppose the application ot the Brockvllle club, also to vote against any move to raise the salary limit, as proposed, to $8000. Dr. Baird received an invitation today to attend a meeting of the "outlaw" league delegates at Montreal, but as he had arranged to go to Hamilton the gathering has been postponed until Monday. In the meantime all the clubs and players are standing pat. The Ottawas say that they have the public behind them, and Art Ross ln a letter to a local paper declares that the deficits reported each year are "faked," and that all the clubs have been making money hand-over-fist. Ross says he has received from $1000 to $2700 per season for his services, but adds that he would, if possible, turn it all over to charity could he wipe his hands of the whole affair and be recognized again as a cleancut amateur. L. N. Bate, former backer of the Ottawas, has been .elected chairman of the team committee of thee New Edinburgh amateurs, who will play in the Interprovinclal.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—Operations on tho stock market today were featureless, last week's hank statement probably accounted for the general recessions recorded at the opening. Money is easy at this centre. however, and Its importance ls indicated by today's report from the west and northwest. Complete returns to tlie comptroller of currency of the condition of national banks on Nov. 10 last show an increase in loans and discounts by a majority of the "banks In thp west, middle west. Pacific coast and southwestern states. Only In this section lias there been any marked decrease in loans, which have fallen over VOT.OOO.ooo, with an Increase in individual deposits of f22,00O,O0O. Little attention was paid by Wall street to the reassembling of congress nnd the proposed method of tariff revision. ■ The progress of the British elections excited even less attention, but the contlnu- , Mice of the floods in France was referred . to in their bearing upon our exports of food stuffs to that country. Crop conditions I In the west were improved by the heavy snowfall In Kansas, which broke the long drouth in that state and probably came in time to save much of the wheat planted in October, American issues were steady In London but the premier British securities were heavy in that market. London was a. small purchaser here during the day, but transactions for that company were more nominal than usual. Of the (3,000,000 gold received in London from South America, two-thirds went to the Bank of (England, the balance being consigned to India. CONSOLS DECLINE. LONDON, Dec. 6.—Money and discount rates were easy today. The stock exchange expressed disapproval over the result of Saturday's election, and prices declined. Consols lost one-sixteenth and home rails sagged. Copper shares, foreign bonds und Kaffirs closed firmer. American securities opened about unchanged and then advanced on light covering. A forecast of President Taft's message helped the Improvement. The market weakened when Wall street opened, but recovered ln the late trading and closed steady. MOISTURE EASES PRICES CHICAGO, 111., Dec. 5.—Snow or rain throughout the sections of tlie south where the moisture has been lacking, eased off the prices of wheat today. The market closed He lo %c lower to a shade up. An ample supply of wheat was on sule all day. Supplementing the effect of the break in the drought, domestic statistics were bearish. An increase in primary receipts counted some against values, although the comparison was with the time of the strikes in the northwest a year ago. There was also a big increase In the visible for the United States and Canada, offsetting to a considerable extent such influences. World shipments tjhowed a decided fall, and so did supplies on ocean passage. In the last half of the day much interest was taken in a private circular purporting to demonstrate that 1,330.000 more acres of wheat have been seeded than last year, nearly 6.000,000 more than was harvested. The condition, however, was but 13 points lower than in December a year ago. Oats were higher early with corn, but tost the advance later. There was some indication that the most urgent of shorts had covered. QUEBEC RAIL ACTIVE. MONTREAL, Dec. 5.—Quebec Railway was very strong and active, opening 2 points higher than parity, 59%. and advancing to 60. It is not yet clear whether the rise Is due to the banquet in Paris last night or merely to Improvement ln the stock's intrinsic value. The banquet two weeks ago caused a 10 point advance, it Is said. There was an active session In Quebec Railway bonds. With non-divided stock at 00, bonds looked very cheap. Bonds advanced from 84 on Saturday. There wns a sharp advance in Lake of the Woods commdn from ia to 132, and a subsequent reaction to I2S>i. Rodolphe Forget's office started buying orders from abroad. Dominion Iron showed slight Improvement with better feeling. New York at opening sold at 00. Cement was Arm, 22%, and referred had a slight advance to 85%. The rest of the market was very quiet but steady. GEN. BELL GOES TO PHILIPPINES. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Dec. 5— Major General J.

A large number of tickets have been sold at 16 cents, and the ticket- holders will be admitted to the gymnasium before those securing entrance by general admission. Needless to say, a good game Is assured, and the supporters of both teams will be out in force. Capt. Allan Lean, under the Influence of the deprivation he suffered in not being able to tell whether av certain expected letter had arrived and was ln his post- office box on Sunday, gave expression to the following sentiments. "Everyono agrees, both from a religious and hygienic point of view, that a man should have one day's rest in seven. But it seems ridiculous, to say the least of It, that the head of tlie most important governmental institution ln the foremost colony In the British empire should decree that it ls necessary for the hinges on the outside door of the postoffice to obey tho fourth commandment." Railroad Watches Sale of these watches is not confined to employees of the railroads. They are simply so called because they are made to meet the most exacting requirements of railroads. Only the best is good enough for them. But oven they allow a variation of from 15 to 30 Beconds ■per week. And we have lots of watches that iwill not vary that in a month. And some that will run a year inside of 60 seconds. In our assortment of high grade watches made hy Hamilton, Waltham Hampden, Elgin, Springfield-Howard and RocMord we have a great variety in style and price and size. Prices as low as the lowest. R.

TUESDAY ] i DECBMtfft t AT THE THEATRES. The opening of tlie opera house as a vaudeville theatre last night was the occasion for the presentation by the new management of an excellent bill, though the list of nerformers was curtailed owing to the fact that Kolllns & Kllfton, who arrived on the delayed Crow boat, were unable to appear. They will, however, make their bow to a Nelson audience tonight, ln addition to three reels of moving pictures lost night's bill included two strong vaudeville acts. Leo Bayes, the female impersonator, created a very favorable impression by his extremely humorous make-up and acting. Attired as a woman he sang and danced In a manner which displayed excellent training and no mean ability as an actor. Fields and Herman brought down the house on more than one occasion by their delightfully humorous presentation of a laughter-provoking Bketch. Full of comedy and well acted, this sketch is on a par with anything of the kind that has previously been seen in this city. Two shows were given. The earlier one, commencing at 8 o'clock, drew the largest crowd. The same bill will be presented tonight. A strong and interesting program is hilled at the Umpire theatre this evening. "Delightful Dolly" is a recent Thanhouser film, ln which some really clever child acting ls seen; "Linda of Chamouney," a picture of exciting Intrigue; "The Turning of the "Worm" is a picture In which a much abused wife at last turns on her husband.
