JKXI59 IBI6 SURPRISE ITwo Members of Local Government Resign Premier Mcbrides view HAD TO DECIDE BETWEEN COL- LEAGUES AND KEEPING FAITH WITH THE PEOPLE OF THE PROVINCE AND HE CH08E THE LATTER COUR8E I VICTORIA, Oct. 21—Hon. R. G. Tat- finance minister, and Hon. F. J. lilton, minister of lands, tonight hand- their resignations in the provincial lablnet to premier McBrlde. The re- Tiring ministers are dissatisfied with he new railway policy ot the government, Tatlow claiming that the assistance promised is too great, while Ful- lon says that the Canadian Northern pill come to the coast in any event, that the agreement was unnecessary. Messrs. Tatlow and Fulton are ln ac- ord with the government In all other hatters of policy and administration. 'he other ministers strongly support he premier's railway policy and the deletion in the cabinet Ib unlikely to ave any bearing on the result ot the lecition. After the resignations of Messrs. -atlow ond Fulton became known Mr. toBrlde was seen by a Daily News epresentatlve and asked If he wished o say anything on the Bubjcet. The iremier said: ■ "Messrs. Fulton and Tatlow handed a their resignations today and itliey ave been submitted to and accepted by he lieutenant governor. Substantially he reasons 'or Capt. Tatlow's with- rawal ls his disagreement with me on he quantity or amount of assistance •hlch it is proposed that the Canadian lorthern should have from the local overnment. I have the assurance of lapt. Tatlow thart In all other matters .e ls in hearty accord with the present dmtolstration. "Mr. Fulton's position ls summed up n the following statement which he anded me this evening*. 'In view of. my ■ledge to the people of British Colum- >ia to consider any fair and reasonable ■roposal that may be made to the gov- ■rament for railway construction in ■Jrltlsh Columbia—a pledge which I -ave six years ago and which I have •ver since taken every opportunity to •eaftirm—when the agreement between he government and the Canadian ■lorthern now before the country was Inally agreed on, I had to resign.' "There was no other course open for ae but to accept their resignations. My Negotiations with the C.N.R., as every- ine knows, have been under way for '.pwards of two years past and not mill Mr. Mann's last visit to British Colombia was I able to arrive at what I '.onsldered to be a reasonable and businesslike solution or tbe problem. Tbe !&reat and far reaching importance of ,hls matter has always been well ln my nlnd and the final determination was -eached after most mature considers- lon." Mr. McBrlde was asked If he Intended that the contract with the railway ,-*ompanIes mentioned in his previous ntervlews would be published. He re- ilied: "They will be given out in the jourse of a few days, although there is io particular reason why they should je published, for all the facts have jeen made known. They are duly executed by the companies and are as finding on them as any contract could »e. There ls one thing which I wish :o make as plain as words can express t and that ls that I stand or fall by what I have promised the people ln re- ipect to the railway'companies." On being ntfsked the nature of maters which would have to be embraced n the measure to be submitted to the eglslature and not Included ln the compact as signed, Mr. McBrlde said: "They do not Involve the substantive 'eatures ot the existing contract, for :hese will not be altered. They will irovide for the carrying out of the con- II. ract. For example, the C.N.R. is to lecure the province by a first mortgage in its line within this province. The neasure submitted to the legislature viil have to provide for the creation of i trusteeship In which this mortgage vlll be vested. The government ls gong to guarantee the company's bonds nit it does* not propose to allow the ■ompany to receive the money derived [rom the sale ot the bonds until it b entitled to it. Therefore the money vlll be paid to the credit of the pro- rlnce and will not be paid out to the ■ompany until satisfactory evidence has ieen given that tiie work of actual con- fl! itruction entitles the company to receive it." Mr. McBrlde added: "I have no fear if an appeal to the people. They have :rusted me for seven years and they ire not going to withdraw their confl- lence now. They are going to take me it my word and give me a chance to nake good. I believe that the policy vhloh Is submitted to the people Is one hat will be of the utmost value to the rovlnce and will impose a minimum f burden upon the treasury. We will ot even have to pay Interest on the I.N.R. bonds during construction and after the line ls built from the Yellow- head PaEfe to Barklay Sound, we will have as a guarantee that the province will lose nothing, all the resources of the C.N.R. system which is even now operating more than 3000 miles between the head of lake Superior and the Rocky mountains and will then be a transcontinental railway in the fullest sense of* the term." Mr. Fulton, seen stated that for some time he has taken the position that on general principles, railways ln the province ot British Columbia will be built without government assistance whenever business conditions warrant the same. That, ln bis opinion these conditions warrant, and ln fact almost necessitate, immediate construction of the Canadian Northern to the Pacific coast and in consequence ln their case government assistance from the province ii not required. On all other points It may be stated that he ia fully in accord and sympathy with the policy of the government. The Victoria Colonist says editorially: "The resignation of Mr. Tatlow, minister of finance and agriculture, and Mr. Fulton, minister of lands, while It will come as a surprise to the people, was not wholly unexpected by those whjo were .aware of the views of these gentlemen upon railway matters. Their reaUons for retirement from the ministry are not exactly consistent with each other. Mr. Tatlow retires because he thinks the Canadian Northern is getting too much. Mr. Fulton goes out because he thinks that the time has gone by for subsidizing railways and that in any event the Canadian Northern line would be built as a necessary commercial undertaking without a subsidy. It Mr. Fulton ls right Mr. Tatlow Is wrong in suggesting that a guarantee of bonds is too much to give for a line that ts a commercial necessity and will surely pay Interest on what it will cost. But this only'by the way. The ex-ministers, for reasons which are satisfactory, to theniselves, are unable to concur with their colleagues ln the railway policy and they took the only proper course open to them. We regret that they have felt Impelled to such a line of action, but holding the views that they entertain, there was nothing left for them to do, Mr. McBrlde had to choose between keeping his colleagues and keeping faith with the people and he has chosen the latter course. The public will heartily applaud hlni for so doing. He has given by tha act another evidence of bis determination to let nothing stand in the way of the redemption of his promise to give the provlnoe a progressive and beneficial railway policy. The Colonist haa on many occasions expressed his appreciation of both the retiring ministers and has nothing to withdraw on that sub- jeot. It looks upon their retirement from public life with regret although it has known for some time that neither of them was particularly enamored of a public career. It washes tbem both every success and prosperity for the future." Hon. *W. J, Bowser was sworn In tonight as minister of agriculture and finance and will hold that portfolio in conjunction with the attorney, generalship until after the election. The vacancy ln the portfolio of lands will be filled within the next few days. MRS. PANKHURST ARRIVES Leader of Suffragette Movement Welcomed at New York NEW YORK, Oct. 21—A group of New York women, bearing banners labelled "votes for women," stood on the White Star line pier tonight, and welcomed to America Mrs. Emile Gould Pankhurst of Manchester, Eng., the leader of the militant suffragettes of Great Britain. In accordance with the rulings of the customs authorities less than 20 persons were allowed to be on the dock and the reception to the little woman who has served two terms of imprisonment for activity In the cause, was devoid of clamor. But immediately she set foot on shore she was wrisked away by her friends and admirers to the women's suffragist headquarters. Mrs. Pankhurst Is of slight statue and has a wealth of brown hair which Is Just turning grey and she looked a typical English woman and was dressed 'becomingly ln dark material. "I am coming to America," she said to a reporter, "to speak on the subject of equal rights for women and to study the situation In this country. I think we are away ahead of you in this matter." As she talked Mrs. Pankhurst displayed a little medallion she wore and explained that it was a distinguishing mark worn by those English women "who have been Imprisoned for the cauBe."

S. Lennie, president of tlie Conservative * association, who traced the splendid record of the government and pointed out the many advantages of the policy just announced by the premier. Harry Wright also gave an admirable addreBB, which brought forth many expressions of enthusiastic approval. The confidence of the gathering in the government was unanimously expressed by hearty cheers for Premier McBride.

WATCHING BERMONDSY ■ RESULT OF BYE-ELECTION WILL BE SIGNIFICANT LIBERAL VICTORY WILL PRECIPITATE GENERAL ELECTON LONDON, Oct. 21—All eyes in London are on the suburb of Bermondsy, famed for its leather tanneries and jam factories. A writ for a bye-election there was moved in the commons yesterday and an election is probable either on Wednesday or Thursday next. The result is awaited with great concern by both parties. It is understood that Lloyd George for weeks past has been urging the cabinet to go to tho country, which the budget issue ls on. He wants at all costs a new lease of power. If his candidate, Mr. Hughes, wins, he and Winston Churchill may precipitate a general election even by a thriat of resignation, if necessary. If, on the other hand, the tariff reformer, Mr. Humphrey, wins the conclusion will! be drawn that the budget has done nothing to help the government. A third possibility Ib the return of the third candidate, Dr. Salter, a high toned cultured socialist, whose victory would vivify lord Rtoaeberyls anti-socialistic warnings and would tend to strike ter- ror into every Englishman who has anything to lose. The bye-election ls caused by the death of Dr. George Joseph Cooper, the liberal member, who had represented the constituency since 1906. AMATEUR CONSTABLE Captures Escaped Convict and Brings Him to Sudbury Police SUDBURY, Ont., Oct. 21—At noon today Victor J. Roy, a young mam of Markestay, surprised the crown officials of* Sudbury by delivering to them George Jennette, safely manacled. Jen- nette escaped from the Jail at Bryson, Que.

' Though the men were known to each other and Jen. nette took to the bush, . shot from Roy's revolver halted him and he waa safely handcuffed. When caught he was armed with a 32 calibre revolver besides his woodsman axe. • POLICY WILL BE ACCEPTABLE • • *- • • OTTAWA, Oct. 21.—"The gen- • • oral opinion out In British Colum- • • bla Is that we can't have too • • many railways to open up the • • country, and I think Premier Mc- • • Bride's policy concerning the Ca- • • nadlan Northern will be accept* • • able to the province."

LONDON, Oct. 2.—In a letter written by a member of« the Canadian government to a friend here the possibility, and even probability, that Laurier will retire from the premiership is discussed,, it being said that the fact that the premier's'health is far from good has for some months been manifest, but hope is still being entertained that rather than withdraw from the premiership he will consent to take a holiday of three or six months in European waters. In the event, however, of liis retirement It may be assured that his successor will be Hon, W. S. Fielding. WILL HELP EXPOSITION PREMIER McBRIDE WILL ASSIST SELKIRK CENTENNIAL BELIEVES EXHIBITION WILL AID BRITISH COLUMBIA WINNIPEG, Man., Oct. 21.—At a meeting of the executive of the Selkirk centennial today a teU'vam was read from Victoria with the reply "of Premier McBride to the delegation which presented the claims of the Selkirk centennial. The following Is a copy of a letter just received from the premier: "Hugh Sutherland, Winnipeg, Man.: "Dear Sir—lie Canada's proposed international exposition and Selkirk centennial of 1912. After meeting the first delegation in April last and since hearing the further presentation by the recent delegation of the advantages to he derived from a Canadian international exhibition, I have carefully considered tne whole question and have concluded that the project Is one which should be heartily endorsed and supported by every province ln the dominion, and if sufficient aid and encouragement is given the committee having the matter in charge by the dominion and the other provinces to assure an exhibition worthy of Canada, British Columbia will not lag behind, but will assemble and put on an exhibit which will adequately represent its varied and almost unlimited natural resources. Canada at present receives a larger share of public attention, particularly from agriculturalists, than ever before in her history. An exposition therefore such as proposed, carried to a successful termination, will not only promote rapid settlement of tbe agricultural lands in the prairie provinces, but would stimulate settlement and the investment of capital in the provinces possessing varied natural resources awaiting development capital, which at present, to a large extent, is finding its way to other portions of the empire or to foreign countries. Yodrs truly, "RICHARD McBRIDE." COME TO CANADA Scottish Teachers Attracted by Salaries Paid on Prairies MONTREAL, Oct. 21.—Dr. John Struthers, secretary of the Scotch education department, with headquarters in London, who has been visiting the different Canadian centres, said tonight prior to his departure for home, that he was much impressed with the splendid liberality of the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan towards their schools-and alBO with the Macdonald college, at St. Ann's, which he pronounced aB the wonder of the generation. He says, however, that the status of the western teacher is not high enough, as he remarked that any girl out of the course would command the splendid Balary of |600 per annum; In fact, he thought that when the trained teachers of Scotland heard of the prices there will be a general movement towards the plains of western Canada.

WANDERLUST Three Jurors Succumb to Its Appeal NEW TRIAL IS ORDERED SENSATIONAL TERMINATION TO TRIAL OF FRANK KOOTENAY FOR MURDER—WILL START ANEW THIS AFTERNOON— LOCKHART CASE TO START A sensational episode that lias not been recorded In the administration of justice in British Columbia in ten years brought the murder trial of Frank Kootenay, the Indian, in progress at Nelson, to an abrupt close yesterday morning and resulted in a new trial being ordered. Instead of the 13 jurymen being kept together in a body in the custody of the sheriff's ofilcer, so that no intercourse with possibly interested persons would be possible between the sittings of the court, three jurymen, witli the full consent and company of the constable in charge, obeyed the call of the wanderlust on Wednesday night, went to their homes and transacted business, and for a considerable period of time were outside of the jury fold. When the jurymen errant were ready, tho constable conducted tliem back to the main flock and locked up his charges lor the night. Naturally, accpiaintances of the three men were surprised to see them at large, and rumors of the irregularity were not long in making their way to the ears of the court officers, with tlie result that the crown prosecutor, ft. S. Lennie, brought the matter to the attention of Chief Justice Hunter at tho opening of the court yesterday morning, the discharge of the jury following. The jurors who achieved liberty were T. II. Newitt and D. A. lianes of Nelson, and Edward Peters of Ymir, ami tlie constable wlio gave them permission to leave their companions and who accompanied them on their Jaunt was W. Moore, appointed a special officer for the occasion. The securing of clothing and the writing of letters were the chief objects oi the expedition, and these objects satisfied, the three jurors and the officer returned to the Strathcona hotel, where the main body was in the charge of another constable, in tlie comfortable belief that all was well. This belief was not rudely shattered until after a comfortable night had heen spent, the peaceful slumbers of tlie three jurymen owing something, no doubt, liotii on tlie physical and tlie mental side, to the personally conducted tour of tlie night before. When his lordship look tlie bench the court room was crowded and. although two or three little rumors had some currency, especially at the tables where the lawyers were seated, no one was prepared for the bomb that was sprung. As soon as tlie jury hnd filed to their seats Crown Prosecutor Lennie arose and stated to his lordship that rumor stated that three members of the Jury had been separated from their companions on the previous evening, contrary to procedure, and had been at their homes and transacted business. He did not suppose that any of the three Jurymen bad discussed the matter ol the murder case with any person, but the law was very strict and it devolved on the crown to see that trials were conducted fairly. Under the circumstances he felt the proper course was to ask for the discharge of the jury and for a new trial, unless his learned friend for the defense was willing to go on with the present jury. A. M. Johnson, counsel for tlie defense, at once interjected that in the interests of fair play for his client lie would ask for a new jury. His lordship—How did it happen? Mr. Lennie—The three jurors asked permission of the constable to go, and he gave them permission und accompanied them. His lordship to Sheriff Tuck—Did you tell the constable he must keep the jury together? Sheriff Tuck—Yes, my lord, 1 told hlni. Mr. Lennie—The man was a special constable and I suppose he saw no harm in granting the jurors' request. His lordship—Bring him here. Special Constable Moore could not be found nnd liis lordship intimated that he would investigate tbe matter later. Then, turning to the jury, he addressed them as follows: "Gentlemen of the jury, tiiis is a most unfortunate occurrence, for good progress wns being made with tbe case, and the law leaves me no option hut I must discharge you. The counsel on the opposing sides have, in my opinion, been conducting tbe case very fairly. I have also been pleased with the way you have appeared to discharge your duties. I am quite sure that none of you have been guilty of holding any Intercourse with any party interested ln the case, either for or against the prisoner. But the law is perfectly explicit, that the jury must not separate. No option is left to me under the circumstances and I must discharge you. Gentlemen of the Jury, you are discharged." Mr. Lennie asked if Mr. Johnson wo,uld be willing to secure his new jury from the present panel, i Mr. Johnson replied that he had challenged a great many of the present panel and he would have to repeat most of tlie challenges, Tlie balance had heen present in court and had, no doubt, also read the case ln the daily paper, which had given a very full account of the previous day's proceedings, and so they knew too much about the case. Under the circumstances he would exercise his right of asking for an entirely new panel, and also that It be larger than the first one. His lordship—If you want to exclude every man who reads the newspapers you had better have a jury of Indians and be done with it. The request for a new panel was granted and the court was aujourned till 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when the sequence of cases would be determined. When 2 o'clock arrived Thomas Bowman, registrar, announced that the petty jury was excused until 10: SO o'clock this morning. By arrangement between his lordship and the various counsel the case of Rex vs. Lockhart—tbe celebrated case involving the Fernie relief fund—will be commenced this morning before Mr. Justice Clement, and the new trial of Rex vs. Kootenay will commence in the afternoon before his lordship, the chief justice. Jurymen from whom the 12 men will be selected for the second case are asked to come this afternoon prepared to spend the night in charge of tlie sheriff's ofilcer.

MIES OATH New Government In Office In Spain ATTITUDE Of OPPOSITION REFUSED TO DISCUSS EVEN MOST URGENT MATTERS — FERRER EXECUTION IS FINAL CATASTROPHE— MINISTER OF INTER- IOR MAKES BITTER SPEECH MADRID, Oct. 21—The Spanish cabinet, which was formed on Jan. 15, 1907 under the premiership of Antonio Maura, resigned today, as the result of the bitter attacks made against the government by the former premier, Morety Prendergast, representing a powerful opposition. At a conference with king Alfonso, premier told the king that In the fac*i ot senor Moret's statement that the opposition would refuse to discuss even the most urgent measures, he bad no option but to resign. He asked, however, that the members of the majority support the new ministry. Upon the receipt ot the resignation of premier Maura and his ministers, Morety Prendergast undertook to form a new ministry, himself assuming the post of premier nnd minister ot the Interior. The new ministers who took tbe oath* of oftlce tonight were ns follows: Premier and minister of the interior, Morety Prendergast; minstter of foreign affairs, Perez Cahelle; minister of finance. Senor Alvardo; minister of war, lieutenant general Luque; minister of marine, rear admiral Concas; minister of public works, Senor Clesset: minister of public Interests, Senor Sar- roso; minister of justice. Martinez del Tlamp. When the president of the chamber of deputies made the announcement of* the cabinet's resignation, it was received with sneb an ear splitting uproar that he was forced to adjourn the silting. The fall of the cabinet was regarded as Inevitable nfter the hitter speech of minister of the interior l.aclerva in the chnmber of deputies last night, during which be classed the liberals witli tbe republicans n.nd socialists wlio were arraigned against the throne. Today king Alfonso summoned premier Maura. Senor Deto. former minister ot the Interior and other leaders ln parliament. The cabinet which resigned today was formed on .Inn. 15, 1909. The cabinet was conservative and succeeded In power tbe fall of no less than five liberal ministers in the preceding 1S months. The religious issue has been the root of tbe dissensions and the return to power of Senor Maura, leader of the conservatives, and who had before held the premiership, was regarded as a sweeping victory for tlie clericals, and one likely to mouse tbe revolutionary spirit. This proved to lie the case, the opposition finally uniting in opposition to the government's conduct In Ihe furtherance of the war in Mo- rocco. The stern measures taken to put down the recent antl-iwar demonstrations in Spain tended to Inflame the opposition and the elocution of Ferrer followed by popular demonstrations of disapproval, brought matters to a crisis. When parliament reopened, the liberals, republicans nnd socialists bitterly assailed the government hut the cabinet showed a disposition to fight for its life. Then came tho reported scene between king Alfonso and premier Maura, when bis majesty is said to have bitterly reproached the premier for falling to give him an opportunity to exercise the royal prerogative in a pardon for Ferrer. There was a violent scene in the chamber of deputies yesterday when the opposition, headed by Senor Moret, the former premier, renewed his attack on the government. Minister ot the interior Lacier, however, declared that the minislry would not resign under threats, as such nn act would lie cowardly. It was than believed that while Senor Moret was determined to unhorse premier Maura, that the liberals, distinguished from the publicans and socialists, did not desire to assume power, as under the circumstances they would then become responsible for the expenditures involved tn the war In Morocco. Berlin Surprised BERLIN, Oct. 21.—The action of tho Bnnk of England in raising Its discount rate today took Berlin completely by surprise. Financiers, in discussing the Increased rate, assign American speculation nnd demnnd for money as the chief cause. Nothing can be ascertained tonight regarding the London report ot German demnnd for gold. This, however, Is discredited and the linnnclal newspapers are apparently not aware of It.

Regarding his own retirement, he said he could congratulate himself that tlie Grand Trunk'railway hoth as regards business, credit and future was on a far higher level and firmer -basis than In 1895 when he became president. Regret at parting would be softened if he might be remembered as one talcing hold in 1895 of a degenerated company. The meeting had other interesting tea- tures. Sir Charles heavily scored J. D. McArthur, a contractor of the government Bection of the Transcontinental, for failure to complete the Lake Superior link this autumn. The anticipation is that it will be completed next summer. He deplored also the want of activity and anxiety for tbe progress in completion of a further 540 miles to Cochrane for which be feared tbe company must wait some time. He spoke of his strong protest to sir Wilfrid Laurier and hinted that the company may make a claim against the Canadian government for compensation. He also was most emphatic in declaring that the change by which Mr. Hays became president Is only titular. Mr. Hays becomes president nnd Mr. Smith* ers, chairman of the board, but the change would be Im name only. ' He said: "You will understand that in making ■ this titulary change no chamge whatever ls contemplated in relation to the responsibility of • either of the executive officers, that is, Mr. Hays will have no greater power or authority and the board will have no less authority than before."

Addressing the board, sir Charles expressed a hopeful view of the business situation and said that there bad been a marked improvement in the commercial conditions during the latter half of this year. He referred to the absence of sufficient help In British Columbia and said that he feared that the lack of laborers to be secured there .will make It impossible to fulfil the promise of completing the road to Prince Rupert on the Pacific coast before nil. He complained that the gov- -eminent authorities tn British Columbia had given but little assistance In solving the problem of obtaining laborers and bad absolutely refused permission for the introduction of Chinese and Japanese. Sir Charles says that personally he was opposed to the appointment of an advisory hoard in Canada, but that he would offer no strong objections to the plan if It should be fostered by a large proportion of the Grand Trunk shareholders. It was Indispensable he said that the flnnnclul control of the company should remain ln London. The meeting became noisy when it was proposed to grant sir Charles m annual pension of $7500. A motion to that effefct was vigorously criticized and an amendment to*defer consideration of the matter for one year was adopted. At this point the temporary chairman announced that a poll would be taken to determine whether the directors were In favor of the original motion. The poll proved an overwhelming sentiment in favor of the motion and accordingly a pension for sir Charles la assured. Referring to the change in the directorate, sir Charles stated that there would be no change In responsibility THE NEWS' DAILY PATTERN LADIES' SHIRTWAIST Paris Pattern No. 3069 All Seams Allowed This becoming shirtwaist is rendered exceedingly smnrt and somewhat unusual by a plastron front, stitched on the edges and ornamented with soutache braid and buttons.

NO CONFIDENCE IN ROUTE Senator Casgrain Has Little Faith In Value of Hudson's Bay Route MONTREAL, Oct. • 2i.--AddreBBing the Nomad's club last night on the question of transportation Senator Casgrain expressed* n strong opinion that the Hudson Bnv route would never be of any use for carrying grain or other produce from Hie Northwest to Great Britain, as the prevalence of ice during most of the year ana tlie high cost of Insurance would much hum 0 than counterbalance any saving by n sliiirt land haul.

"Four years ago I was taken down with wliat the doctors called Inflammation of the Bladder—intense pains in th" back and loins, great pain and difficulty m urinating. The pain was greatest in the region of the bladder, and the attacks, which becanie more frequent, amounted to unbearable agony, and I became so weak that I could not walk across the floor. Doctors could do nothing to help me. My wife read in the paper about Gin Pills and sent for a box. From the very first I felt that Gin Pills were doing me good. The pain was relieved at once, und the attacks were less frequent. In six weeks the Stone in the Bladder came away and the pain stopped entirely. 1 have had no return of the trouble and have not lost a day's work on account of it. I cannot express myself strong enough when I speak oi what Gin Pills have done for ine. When I remember bow I suffered, and how now I am healthy and well and strong and able to do a full day's work, I feci I should speak and tell other sufferers of my experience and of the wonderful merits of Gin Pills."

ZINC ORE OUTLOOK GOOD WEAVER LOPER IS INTERVIEWED IN SPOKANE EXPECTS THAT PRICES WILL GO HIGHER STILL The following Interview with O. Weaver Loper, managing director or iha Lucky Jim Mines, Limited, appeared In yesterday's Spokesman-Hevfew: Ci. Weaver Loper, vice-president and managing director ot the Lucky Jim zinc mines, located upon the Knslo &• Slocan railway, British Lolumbia. was In Spokane yesterday on hla way from Denver.

In regard to the re- maikahle conditions now existing in 'lie zinc industry, anl the extraordinary advances whlcli hav-j taken place in By-alter, he suid: "All settlements made on shipments ol zinc ore ure In a general way iid.untnble on day of arrival at smelter, based upon the current ((notation at St. Louis, Mo.

Louis, lu tlie interim Hie Payne bill became effective August 5, and Imposed a duty on zinc ores of 1 cent a pound, since which -Inie the advance In spelter has more than absorbed the duty, owing to the fact that yesterday's quotations Indicated they were bidding at St. Louis $0.15 n hundred pounds- "There is nothing extraoidlnary in this fact as It is merely occasioned by the laws of supply and demand, and I Shall not be at all surprised to see speller, within the next .0 days, sell at $0.60 a hundred pounds, lu my opinion, after careful investigation, I do not believe there Is, at the present time, a illl-day supply of ore on hand within the boundaries of the United States. "Reports Indicate that both France and Switzerland have enacted laws Dl ohlllltllig tlie use of iead pigments for interior decorations within their boundaries, solely tor sanitary purposes. In consequence of whlcli the Industry naturally turns to zinc pigments. There is no doubt whatever that the nLove action will be followed by all other roieign governments; likewise hy the Canadian provinces and the United States. "That present prices ure stable is hex: home out by the fact that our corporation can enter into a three-years' contract. We are rapidly making prepaintlona to double our shipments and anticipate that by Nov. 1 our now tunnel will crosscut the bottom of our big whine, in consequence of which Ave shall, in addition to our present shipments, stope an additional IM tons of M per cent zinc ore a day, which, under a conservative estimate, should net this corporation a profit of S2C00 a day, iii consequence of which I am In hopes that wc can declare a 4 per cent dividend January 1, 101 it.

"In addition, the celebrated Broken Hill (Austral ut mines, from which la: eo sources of supplies have been withdrawn, rumor Indicates lo be on the decline, owing to the fad that reports mention the:' have not ln sight their previous estimated bodies of ore.

UNHAPPY PREDICAMENT CANADIANS IN CUBA GROUND BETWEEN TWO STONES TAXED BY TWO MUNICIPALITIES, ARRESTED AND FINED OTTAWA, Ont., Oct. 21.—B. S. Kirli- patrick, Canadian trade commissioner at Havano, reports to the department of trade and commerce that a number of Canadians who have heen Induced to settle at the colony known as Ocean Beach, Cuba, are having a bad experience. The sale of land, which Is being advetrised in Canada, he says, is resulting In profits to the company, which owns it only. Trouble arises from the fact that two municipalities— Mantun and Quave—both claim the right to collect taxes from the newcomers. One municipality advises them ndt to pay, while the other is arresting nnd imprisoning them if they refuse to do so. One of the Canadians, writing to a Havana newspaper, says that the colony Is being ground like a pebble between two stones. Several Canadians have been arrested and fln«l.

Bookseller and Stationer ■the §ailx_ gtewg* Published at Nelaon Bvery Morning Except Monday, by News Publishing Company, Limited W. O. McMORRIS Manager BROKERS AWlft MB PHONI 110 THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE In a Utile over a month's time the people of British Columbia will be called upon to say who shnll control the province's affairs for the next four years, Premier McBride or Mr, John Oliver, who recently assumed the leadership of the opposition; ln other words, whether the present government Is to be accorded another term of office or whether it is to he turned out and a new set of men called ln to administer the affairs of the province, There Is no halt way about the matter. Tlie people must, on Nov. 25, declare In favor of either one or the other of these courses. They must say Whether they are prepared to dispense with the services of a government that has given general satisfaction utiring the six years It has held office and place in power a number of men who, whatever may be their merits or their ability, are untried and Inexperienced. They might give the province good government or they might not. To make a change would he an experiment of a most dangerous character at this stage of British Columbia's development. Premier McBride is now appealing to the country as tlie head ot a government which he bus successfully led during the past six years. Since liis government assumed office the political turmoil, whlcli had for years done so much to injure the province and retard its development, has become a thing of the past. In no part of Canada has any government accomplished as much during the sume length of time as lias that ot Premier McBride since it assumed office In 1903. Opposed to Mr. McBride in the present contest is Mr, John Oliver, who was recently chosen leader of the liberal party ln this province by his fellow members of that party In tlie legislature, some 12 in number. Mr. Oliver, It Is cjuite true, has been a member of the legislature for the past nine years, and during that 'time has taken a more or less prominent part In, Its proceedings, but is absolutely without experience as a leader, and in addition lias never shown that he is possessed of any special claims to be regarded as a statesman or as anything else but a very mediocre politician. He is principally known for the number and length of the speeches which he has made In the legislature and for the questions which he lias asked there. It lias been said that during the time that Mr. Oliver has been a member of the legislature there has been no subject come up upon which he was not prepared to speak and at greater length than anyone eUe, while his faculty for asking questions has become a byword throughout legislative circles. As a rule his questions have been of a most trivial character and in most cases the Information sought could have been secured from the public accounts or by application to one or other 0r the departments. Had either of these courses been pursued, Mr. Oliver's name would not have appeared so often on the records of the house; consequently the questions were aBked. The people of British Columbia during the past nine years have had an opportunity to form an estimate of Mr. Oliver as a public man. They also have before them the record of Pre mier McBrlde and his government during most of the same period. It is now for them to say which of these men shall control British Columbia s affairs for tlie next four years. There can and will be only one answer to such a. question, The people, Irrespective of politics, will declare overwhelmingly in favor of Premier McBrlde. MINISTERS' RESIGNATIONS It will he with surprise und a good deal of regret that tho people of British Columbia will learn of the resignations of two members of the provincial cabinet, Hon. It. G. Tatlow, minister of finance and agriculture, and Hon, P, J. Pulton, minister of hinds. Both have served their province well during the time that they held office and it is to be regretted that they could not see eye to eye with their leader in regard to railway construction. The necessity for more railways In this province is patent to all and It Is equally well known that in most cases these cannot bo secured without some form of government aid. Mr. Tatlow, however, thinks that the government is doing too much for tlie Canadian Northern In guaranteeing the company's bonus to tho extern of $35,000 for a line from Yeliowhead pass to a point on Vancouver island, the interests of the province being protected by a first" mortgage on the railway which It ts proposed to build, other sale- guards also being contained In the agreement into which the government has entered. Mr, Pulton, on the other hand, thinks that the government should.not in any way assist thts line. He thinks that commercial necessity will force the Canadian Northern to build through to the coast whether or not tlie government assists. Neither of the retiring ministers apparently object to the portion of the governments policy which provides a cash subsidy for a line connecting the Kootenays and the Boundary with Vancouver by way of Midway and .Nicola. The opposition of the two retiring ministers to tile agreement with the Canadian Northern Is rather hard to understand. The agreement will never -mean the outlay of one cent by the1 provincial government. This Mr, Fulton tacitly admits when he says the line is u commercial necessity. But, if Messrs. Tatlow and Fulton cannot agree with the government's railway policy, what must be their attitude toward that of the opposition as enunciated by Mr. John Oliver, leader of the opposition, at meetings held ln Vancouver and Victoria and elsewhere recently? Mr. Oliver's policy calls for a cash subsidy of $3,000,000 for a line covering exactly the same territory as that to be served by the Canadian Northern, while his policy ln full calls for the payment of cash subsidies aggregating $5,000,000. If Messrs. Tatlow and Fulton do not approve the premier's railway policy they certainly cannot approve that of the opposition. There, therefore, ls cold comfort for Mr. Oliver and his friends in the resignations of the two ministers, In accepting the resignations and deciding to stand and fall by the policy which he has enunciated In regard to railway construction, Premier McBride has acted in what he considers the best Interests of the province, and when the ballots have been counted on the evening or Nov. 25 it will be found that the people of British Columbia have overwhelmingly endorsed his stand. other four years of honest, efficient and progressive government. « - — - In the 38 provincial ridings In which there were contests in the dominion election of a year ago the liberals had a majority ln only two, and they will do little, If any, better ln the polling oh Nov. 25. Premier McBride is certain to be returned to power again and by the largest majority in the history of the province. In his speeches at the coast Mr. John Oliver is emphasizing tlie fact that he regards himself as only the temporary leader of the opposition. Mr. Oliver Ib wise in his day and generation. He keeps in mind the fact that the local constituency of Delta, which he represents, gave a majority of over 200 to the conservative candidate In the dominion elections ot a year ago. Mr. Oliver realizes that on the evening of Nov. 25 he will be among the slain, and will, therefore, no longer be ln a position to lead his party.

The combined exhibit will he entered as a district exhibit, and will be officially known as the Nvtson nnd Arrow hakes district display. It will occupy a space 20 feet wide anil IU feet deep, and will be lavishly .decorated.

An entry Will also be made' for the Foreign Countries special, consisting of three boxes of a single variety. So much for the Kootenay district, Besides the foregoing exhibits, an effort will he made to have the apples of the Kootenay entered in every class for which elig.hle fruit can be found. But these entries have to he mude In the names of the individual growers, and these exhibits can form no part of the district exhibit, but will be scattered through the entire space at the show, according to olasslllcation, Growers can make both plate and box exhibits of as many varieties as they desire. The charges to Spokane will be defrayed by the local boards of the two districts, While the Kootenay apple ciop this year Is of splendid quality, It is limited In quantity Estimating GOtl boxes to the car, competent Judges who have been over the ground estimate the crop in the Nelson district proper as about live cars, and the crop In the entire Kootenay at about eight enrs. Assuming that this limited output Is consumed within the Kootenay, about u Alozen cars will have to be imported to supnly the local demand. A couple more years will bring an immense amount of young orchard into profitable bearing, and the total output should be very different from the current year.

McCulloch, the Nelson civil engineer, has returned from a month spent in the Slocan district. Previously to that Mr. McCulloch spent two months tin tlie Interior of northern British Columbia, surveying the townsite of Port George. The trip over the great northern plateau was a revelation both to Mr. McCulloch and to all the members ot his party, and the interesting story of the trip is related by the well known surveyor as follows: "The entrance to the morthern central Interior portion of British Columbia," said Mr. McCulloch, "is via Ashcroft and the old Cariboo road to Qttesnel, a distance of 220 miles, with branch roads Into Llllooet, Chilcotan and Cariboo. ThiB road was built In the G0'a during the great placer mining excitement in the Cariboo district, and It Is kept in a good state of repair by the government which spends large sums of money each year in macadamizing and otherwise improving It. Up to 15,0-Mile house the road passes through ■an arid belt where crops can only be raised by irrigation, and the ranchers go in principally for stock raising. Beyond 160-Mile house and through the upper Fraser country the rainfall is much heavier. "Passenger travel is by the stage of the British Columbia Express oompnny( w~ich carries passengers and express goods, nnd rung n fast freight service, but does not attempt a general teaming business. The stage route from Ashcroft on the C.P.R. main Hoe, is 167 miles long to Soda creek, in tho north, at which point during the summer months passengers transfer to a steamboat on the iPraser river nnd nre carried up the Fraser to Quesnel and Fort George. Winter travel, however, is by stnge right through to Quesnel and Barkerville. The express company hns the stage transportation problem reduced to a fine art, having been in operation continuously since the early GO's. Starting from Ashcroft at 4 o'clock in tbe morning with a stage conch drnwn by four or six horses as circumstances require, and with regular relays of horses every few hours, passengers are carried with considerable speed over the long distance to Soda creek, 167 miles, havlmg to spend one night only on the road, this being spent at 83-Mile house. Stops are made for meals at roadside houses where excellent om's nre provided. The horses used are fine, big, well fed and well groomed animals, equal to those used as gentlemen's coach horses, and one has rather an exhilerated feeling driving over fime roads behind a four-in-hand *of such fine animals. "The surprise of this portion of the Journey is the excellent character of the road, the greater portion of which ls equal to the most park ronds and secondly,, the level character of the country passed through. British Columbia has so often heen described as a sen of mountains—a statement that the most of its have been willing to believe —that it was a revelation to me to find so extensive a country free from mountains. After passing Clinton, in travelling a distance of not less than 275 miles, as far as the eye could see to the north, south, east and west, no mountains were visible, the country being of a rolling .nature, with very inrge areas of level plateau. "Tills.

' The Wright Investment Co. 419 Bake* Stmt, Ndwm Coast range, the Selklrks extending no great distance north of the Columbia river. "The trip up the Fraser river to Quesnel was uneventful, but unfortunately for us, we could not ro amy further than Quesnel by steamer, and we had the choice of continuing the journey by horses over the telegraph trail or by canoe up tlio Fraser. The latter motbod of travel was decided on and Indian camoe men were secured for the journey, which takes usually about four five,days from Quesnel to Fort George. The Indians use the dugout canoe entirely, making them out of Cottonwood logs, usually 30 to 40 feet long, nnd about 2 1-2 to 3 foot in the beam, with long pointed bow and stern, for use in rapid streams. The Fraser river Is a very swift flowing stream and canoeing up stream Is no pastime. The current Is so strong that no one thinks of paddling a canoe up stream, the craft being propelled by polling, in which operation the canoe men aro expert. Standing up in the canoe and keeping close to shore where the bottom can be reached and the current is less strong, they are able to make good time sboviing the craft along with poles —the journey having a spice of danger in passing through Cottonwood and Fort George canyons, up which the canoes must be taken by lining. "The Fraser valley geologically is of very recent origin, the river still cutting Itself into the clay bottom, providing an excellent example of physical geogrnphy In tlie making. During all stages of water, even In extreme low water, this cutting into the clay bottom and clay banks Is constantly going on, the result being that the river Is always muddy looking, so much so that one hesitates to drink its waters. This is so characteristic of the Fraser that the river might well be called the Muddy Fraser. But even at this distance from the sea the Fraser is n mighty river, ami one cannot help but wonder where all the water can come from. Many a niightv glacier must pay tribute lo it to roll up such a volume. "My mission to Fort George wns to lay out a townsite on lot 1429, for tbe Hammonds of Nolson. so that naturally 1 feel interested in the possibilities of Fort George as a future metropolis. "Fort George for 100 years has heen used by the Hudson's Bay company as a trading post and It Is the site of an Indfatv settlement, locnted at the intersection of he Nechaco river with the Fraser. Tile G.T.P., after crossing the Rockies through the Yeliowhead pass, will follow the Fraser river until It reaches Fort George, where it will leave the Fraser and follow the Nechaco river In Its course westerly to Prince Rupert. The construction of the railway In the near future will make a lively town of Fort George and it will he a bonanza to the settlers. On nc- count of the cost of transportation the rancher realizes 'high prices for all he can produce, particularly in the way of hay, oats and vegetables. "There are now three steambonts, he- longing to rjvnl companies, running Into Fort George. Two of these were launched this year, tlio last one making her maiden trip in September—evidently the steamboat men are looking for prosperous times. One of these boats during the year made trips up the Nechaco and Stuart rivers into Stuart lake, "At Fort George, In addition to the Hudson's Bay company's post, there are two other stores for outfitting. There Is a sawmill under construction, and a newspaper Is being established by the redoubtable John Houston—the newspaper plant is now being freighted ln. The government has also taken steps to establish a government office at Fort George for the transaction of business for this portion of the province. The G.T.P. will have a down grade In both directions Into Fort George for hundreds of miles. This, together with Its geographical position, will undoubtedly make the town a divisional point and site for repair shops, as well as a centre for radiating branch railways. There is also a vast stretch of navigable water radiating from Fort George. "So it seems to me, Fort George Is destined to be a city of Importance. And tt will make an ideal site for a city, situated as It Is at the confluence of two navigable streams, the Fraser and the Nechaco, with the general level of the land from 30 to 40 feet above sea level and plenty of room for tbe city to grow to any size. "On account of the distance from the C.P.R. and the expense of transportation, there has been, very little actual settlement as yet, but with the assured early construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific, great interest Is now being taken ln this section of the country. "There are thousands of square miles of the finest land, suitable for grain gi'owlng and stock raising, ln the basin of the Fraser and Us tributary streams and there is bound to be a great Influx of population when tlio railway is completed. Tlie elevation of tho land Is from 1800 to 2r>00 feet above sea level. There is practically no timber of commercial value, and the land is easily cleared and Is well adapted for grain growing. At the Hudson's Hay post nt. Fort George a fine crop of oats and potatoes was grown. At Quesnel and Soda creek and along the Fraser river between these points, wheat Is regularly grown, and Is disposed of to the flour mill at Quesnel. which has boon iu operation for many years. At Soda crook we had some excellent corn for dinner, that was grown there, affording convincing evidence of the suitability of the summer climate for general farming. "Tlie rainfall is about the same as in the Edmonton district. The winter climate is rather severe, however. But all tiling! considered. I think the basin of the upper Fraser and its tributary streams has a great future in grain growing and stock raising, while some of the other districts nre rich in minerals. "In a very few years, this central upper interior portion of the province will claim a very large population."

WANTS ANOTHER RACE Sir Thomas Lipton Hopes to Secure Revision of Rules NEW YORK, Oct. 21.—The coming of Sir Thomas Lipton to America has stirred a great deal of interest as to what measure of success the Irish baronet will have in his endeavors to bring about another race for the Amer- lea cup. I Sir Thomas will arrive on tlie Cedric ' on Saturday, and on his arrival he will ascertain from members of the New York Yacht club whether they will accept a challenge lor the historic cup under tlie universal rules, which now govern races held by the New York Yacht club, or whether tlie club still insists that the America cup contest mtist be held under the old conditions which permit the greatest maximum speed under a given water line length without other restrictions. Sir Thomas holds that the old rules have resulted In fake yachts, of such flimsy construction that there is grave danger of the challenger going to pieces at sea while being brought to America on her own bottom as in the conditions of the contest. Sir Thomas hopes to convince the New York Yacht club that a race for the America cup can never again be held under the old conditions, and that if the club maintains the attitude it took two years ago it ls equivalent to locking up the classic "mug" In the club trophy room.
