OCTOBER 2, ,90) NO. 142 CORNERSTONE Earl Grey Wields Trowel at Alberta's Capital GREAT CROWDS PRESENT I MANY PROVINCES REPRESENTED AT LAYING OF PARLIAMENTARY CORNER STONE—GOVERNOR GENERAL POINT8 OUT IMPERIAL DESTINY 7 EDMONTON, Oct. 1 — The corner atane of tbe new parliament buildings of Alberta was laid this afternoon in the presence of Immense crowds of people from all over the province. Earl Grey handled tbe trowel and bis levelling of the mortar and tapping of the stone proved that he had long passed the period of apprenticeship ln the corner stone laying (business. The proceedings of the day commenced with a procession at 2 o'clock which earl Grey and party viewed from a stand in front of the Yale hotel on Jasper avenue.- The governor general at this point was presented with an address from the city of Edmonton, It being read by mayor Fred Lee. At 3 o'clock the corner stone laying took place and the grand stands, as well as every available1 piece of ground about the new building, were black with people. With the vice-regal party on the platform were lieutenant governor ^Bulyea, premier Rutherford and his colleagues, chief justice Si f ton, justices Scott, Stuart and Beck, Hon. Wal. ter Scott, Hon.. I. B. Lucas. Hon. Mr. Turgeon, president Torry of Alberta university, senators Roy, Talbot, Prince and Douglas, Hon. Frank Oliver, Dr. Michael Clarke, M.P. and a few others. Lieutenant governor Bulyea was master of ceremonies, opening the proceedings with a few words of welcome. Premier Rutherford followed with an address to the earl from the province. Tuen Hon. Mr. Gushing told what the box to be placed in the stone contained. The premier handed the earl a magnificent silver trowel, and the corner stone was laid. Earl Grey then addressed the gathering. Hts speech was particularly happy and inspiring. He spoke as follows: "It was my happy privilege to preside in 1905 over the 'coming of age' festivities of the people of the province of Alberta, when they were invested with these autonomous rights of self government, which are an Integral and inseparable part of British manhood. I consider myself no less fortunate to be present on thig Interesting occasion. In the four years that have passed since the inauguration ceremonies, the •developments that have distinguished the growth of your province have been remarkable. Your population has increased from 120,000 to 325,000, The prosperity of your early settlers has proved a magnet of compelling power, calling from the provinces of Canada and from all parts of- Europe an already Increasing influx of population. This Increasing itream of settlers hns been distinguished no less for quality than for quantity. Men of character and experience, men endowed with capital, representing the results of successful Industry, amd of thrifty habits, have flocked Into your province, attracted by your olimate, by the rich soil and by the favorable character of your so- sial, industrial and political conditions. The further prosperity of your favored province would appear .to be most abundantly assured and I venture to prophesy that the 300,000 people already Inhabiting your province will perhaps establish a record in reaching the figure of 3,000,000, the number of the population of the whole dominion of Canada at the date ot confederation. "It Is only right and proper that the legislative and executive buildings of which I have the honor, as representative of the crown, to lay the corner stone today, should assume an lmpor- , tance and character which will Impress j the imagination, not only of your pro- ) vlnce, hut of the world, with a sense of 1 your belief In the greatness of your ' destiny. It is only right and fitting j that this beautiful city, the railway and | political center of a great province, ' twice as large In area as the United ■ Kingdom, distinguished for its fertility, 1 for the variety and abundance of its I undeveloped wealth, situated half way ; between Winnipeg and Prince Rupert on the main route between the occl- | -dent and orient, admirably served hy j three great railway systms, should be i provided with legislative and executive . ■buildings which, like the parliament buildings of Quebec, victoria.and Ottawa, may prove to be the source of pride and inspiration to all Canadians. "I should like to congratulate his honor, the premier and the other gentlemen responsible for today's arrangements for having given so prominent a place to your 3000 children. It would b^iifficult for any country to provide a bonnier sight. Not only are they most [fair to look upon, but they suggest thoughts which cannot fall to stir the imagination and the patriotic hopes of every Canadian, If your children succeed In learning the highest lesson.to be taught ln your schools, via,, that the greatest happiness is to be found ln giving whole hearted and ungrudging service to the community and to the state, It Is possible that there may be concealed amidst their benches ln an embryo form, influences destined one day to dominate the legislative assembly of Alberta, perhaps -the parliament of Ottawa, and who can tell, perhaps the imperial executive responsible for the safety and administration of the empire. I should like the children of Edmonton to realize and remember with pride the great privileges they enjoy as citizens of the greatest empire the world has ever seen. I should like them to remember that the strength of the empire rests, not on aera or numbers, but oh the moral qualities of its citizens, and on the contribution which each of them individually brings to the character of Alberta and Canada. I should like them also to realize that the people of the United Kingdom are guarding, at present single handed, the great Inheritance of the empire, into the full possession of which Canada and the other self governing dominions will one day enter, and that It rests with them to use the Influence of Alberta and Canada upon the administration of tbe empire which will be of such a nature as will enable the empire to be in the future,' as it has in the past, a world wide instrument of freedom, righteousness and Christian civilization. "That the Influence which will radiate from the buildings to toe erected upon this corner stone may for all time be animated by a quick sympathy with the wants of the province and be an enlightened determination to study correctly and to zealously promote the interests of your people, Ib ray fervent prayer; that it may honestly and wisely discharge Its important duties without fear or favor, is my respectful hope and in that hope and prayer as representative of his most gracious majesty, as I now have the honor to be," Hon. Frank Oliver for the .dominion, premier Scott for'Saskatchewan and Hon. I. B. Lucas for Ontario, also spoke blrefly, and the ceremonies were at an end. Tonight the vice-regal party will attend a ball In the Thistle rink and ln the-raornlng will leave for Regina, taking the G.T.P. to Saskatoon.

No one can have a higher opinion of or feel more gratitude to my 'predecessor than I do. . "There is a disagreement as to just what the Roosevelt policies are. We have heard of Catholics of whom it was said that they were more Catholic than the pope. Occasionally we find gentlemen so earnest in support of the Roosevelt policies that they are more Rooseveltlan than Roosevelt himself. I am doing the best I can to carry out the Roosevelt policies as I understand them, and as I was in the cabinet for four years I had M.ieffet a fair opportunity to know what they were." CRESTON TO BAYONNE EFFORT TO BE MADE TO SECURE CONSTRUCTION OF ROAD WOULD MEAN MUCH BOTH TO , TOWN AND CAMP (Special to The Dally News.)

RUSHING TIDE Settlers Pouring Into the Canadian Plains ALL RECORDS ARE BROKEN M008E JAW OFFICE HANDLES HALF OF HOMESTEAD ENTRIES OF THE DOMINION— WEYBURN-LETHBRIDGE BELT MECCA OF SETTLEMENT The total number of homesteads taken out in western Canada in the past 18 months counts up to a highly respectable figure. Half of that iotal Is also a respectable figure. Yet half of the homesteads taken out in Canada In the last year and a half is what the Moose Jaw land office claims credit for. According to John Rutherford, dominion land agent at Moose Jaw, who passed through Nelson yesterday, concluding a three weeks' tour of British Columbia and Washington, tbe Moose Jaw office also holds the world's championship belt for tlie greatest number of homestead entries ever recorded on one day. That record was hung up'on one of the days of the great rush of Dec. 21-25 last, the central ofllce accepting 724 entries, the seven sub-offices at various points In the district not being Included in this total. This is said to throw the palmiest dayB of the rush into Oklahoma Into the shade. Last July the Moose Jaw office made a new month's record, the entries re* corded being far in excess of those of all the other dominion land offices in Canada put together. As will be perceived, Mr. Rutherford Is an enthusiastic believer in Saskatchewan and in the Moose Jaw district, as, ot course, he should be. Moose Jaw is tbe portal through which more Americans come into Canada than through any other. The great American trek, Instead of falling off, Is at flood tide und bas lost none of its- spectacular features. "The Immigration into the Canadian west this season, as 1 have observed it, is fully 50 per cent larger than in the best previous season, and that ls saying something," said Mr. Rutherford. "In that rush Americans and eastern Canadians are sharing in about equal numbers. It Is no flourish of rhetoric to state that each American settler brings $1,000 with him, and I fully believe the average Is at least that. "Of the hosts that come into Saskatchewan to take up land fully DO per cent enter for homesteads, and wherever possible, for pre-emptions also. The tide of settlement flows mainly into the pre-emption area. This year the rush is to the south and southwest of Moose Jaw, particularly along the route of tlie projected Weybnrn-Leth bridge line of the *C. P. R., where a belt 200 miles long is being filled up, "The Immigration into southern Alberta Is of a somewhat different character, the Americans particularly, purchasing Irrigated lands. Homesteuding Is also active. "The growth of tile west is kaleidoscopic, one stage succeeds another so fast. Look at the Outlook branch of the C. P. R., practically every homestead of that territory being taken up before the line was built and the continuation of that route is now home* steaded 100 miles in advance Of tlie road. Railways and population are converting the great Canadian prairie into a great grain field, and mark nils, the sections of country that used to be called 'bad lands' are found to be as productive as the parts that were regarded as the choicest." Mr. Rutherford's chief stop on this trip was at Seattle, where lie attended tlie sessions of the sovereign grand lodge of tlie Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He classes Vancouver and Nelson as the two liveliest cities, from a business standpoint, in British Columbia. "By adding agriculture to their repertoire of industry," said Mr. Rutherford in conclusion, "tiie Kootenays will assure this favored land, with its unlimited natural resources, the basis of a permanent future, unre- gardful of the vicissitudes common to mining countries. Lumbering and agriculture together will give a stable population that will make of probably the greatest mining country to the world, a rich and prosperous province." Mr. Rutherford left on the Crow steamer tills morning. NEW MILL NEAR CRESTON C. O. Rodgers Erecting One at Canyon City—C. P. R. Advertising (Speclnl to The Uaily Nbwb.) CRESTON, Oct. 1—C. O. Rodgers, the well-known sawmill man of Creston, is building another large sawmill on his property at block 812 at Canyon City, eight miles from Creston. The machinery for this mill has all been secured. This mill Is a very heavy portable one and will have a capacity of 20,000 feet of lumber, per day. It Is expected that it will be In operation by Nov. 1 next. As a result of the widespread nature of the C. P.

P 'v4^ advertising matter happened i.^f* ? were induced thereby to commun. .ate with J. S. Dennis, assistant to the second vice president of the C. P. R. nt Calgary, and he gave them such a good account of the Creston district that they were induced to leave their old location ln the state an come to Creston. . After residing at Creston for the past two weeks this man and his wife are perfectly satisfied to become permanent and welcome residents here. PEACE RIVER MEASURES TEN THOUSAND ACRE8 OF PRIME COAL LOCATED EASTERN CAPITALISTS ACQUIRE A RICH PROPERTY EDMONTON, Oct. 1—Ten thousand acres of coal, beautiful rich coal which will coke to the extent of 86 per cent, have been located on the Peace, river, just across the border of British Columbia, by a syndicate which Includes several prominent capitalists of eastern Canada, and which Is represented in Edmonton by R. Brutinel. This Is the latest discovery in the far famed Peace river country.. Small seams of coal have heen found at Centervale along the Peace river, well up towards the mountains but nothing of the extent and the quality of the coal area which has been filed upon by this syndicate of capitalists.

HILLIS AND RAYMOND OF VANCOUVER PAY $45,000 TO NELSON OWNERS—PROPERTY HAS HIGH VALUES—WORK ALREADY STARTED An important mining deal has just been closed by which the Alma M. mineral claim, some eight miles from the city of-Nelson, on a divide between Sand creek and Eagle creek, is bonded to two prominent mining men of the coast. The recent owners, William Gosnell, John Ostin, J. J. Malone, George Matthews and Nels Lovering, are all Nelson men, and tiie properly, which adjoins the Star, near the well- known Eureka mine, Is bonded for ?45,- 000 to J. T. Hillis of Vancouver and S. S. Raymond, recently manager of the Crofton smelter. The terms of the bond call for the starting of work in 30 days, but as a matter of fact the new owners put men at work last Monday. The Alma M. contains a very large vein of quart/,, in a porphory and slate formation, carrying good gold values, and the recent owners think the property is as valuable as the Granite and the Eureka of that camp. One recent assay went ?300 to the ton. Mr. Hillis, who was in Nelson to close the deal in person, visited the claim Thursday with Mr. Malone, W. B. Poole of the Nugget and W. A. Jones, road foreman, tne latter to look into the question of completing the wagon road between the Star and the Eureka. Speaking of his inspection yesterday, Mr. Hillis informed The News that the present development comprises a shaft 47 feet deep, und a drift down lead of lOti feet, and various open cuts. The previous owners shipped 51 tons, which was rawhlded out, and 300 tons still remain on the dump, an arrester having been worked for a period. Mr. Hillis staled that it would not take long to determine whether the values were there, and If they were tlie development would be pushed und machinery installed without delay. A tunnel was .started two days ago which is expected to tap it 100 feet deep. Messrs. Hillis and Raymond are botli well known in mining circles all along the coast. A year ago they disposed of tlie Hidden Creek Mining company's property at Observatory Inlet, south of the Alaskan boundary, to M. K. Rodgers, formerly owner of the Hedley mine, and Thomas Hodglns of Butte for $135,000. Tlie new owners changed the name of tlie company to tlie Hidden Creek Copper company, capitalized their proposition at $2,U00,00U, installed a big compressor plant, and have hud GO to 70 men employed steadily the last year. A -$400,000 smelter will be erected in the spring. Mr. Raymond is at tlie present time managing director of the Empress Mining company at South valley, 2$ miles from Vancouver, $ii0.- 000 having been spent on 'development work upon what is regarded as one of the most promising low-grade copper properties at the coast. Mr. Hillis was one of the syndicate of ten that originally bought tlie Britannia copper mines on Howe sound, near tlie Alaskan border, in 1900, a property that is now capitalized at $10,000,000. and that lias one of the biggest plants at the coast today. He sold most of his interest in tills two years ago. .Mr. Raymond is now operating an oil property in California, and Mr. Hillis will give his attention to the Alma M. if It becames a working mine. Messrs. Raymond and Hillis made an inspection of this property last May. Mr. Ostin, one of the recent owners, has been retained as mine foreman. The Alma M. claim was staked in 1001 by Frank Carlson, his partners, who eacli had a quarter interest, being Messrs. Ostin and Lovering. Last March Mr. Carlson sold holt" of his half Interest to Mr. Matthews, and some tew weeks ago he sold his remaining quarter interest to Messrs. Gosnell and Malone.

It also shows the quantities inspected for sale and reported to the department of trade and commerce: 1900-1 1905-6 1908-9 Wheat bush. bush. bush. Yield 23.456.S69 82,461.627 91,863,000 Inspected 12,255,380 64,619,100 74,066,450 Oats Yield 16,653,681 68,810,855 96,718,000 Inspected 537,600 S.652.000 21,996,600 Barley Yield 3,141.121 10.971,765 22,920,000 Inspected 28,000 1,628.400 3,579.600 The Monthly notes that a very large proportion of the oats and barley is consumed at home as fodder for farm animals and much of the wheat inspected is bought up to be ground into flour at the large mills in the provinces instead of being exported as grain. The exports of wheat, oats and barley from Canada in the same period indicate how large a share of the present grain trade of the country is placed to the creidt of the three northwest provinces. Of wheat we exported for 1900-1 9,359,640 bushels, Tor the second year 41,905,937 bushels and for the third year 45,879.069 bushels. Of oats we exported for the first year 8.106.680 bushels, for the second 3,869.302 bushels ond for the third 4,829,026 bushels. Of barley we exported for the first year 2,412,972 bushels, for the second year 982,739 bushels and tor the third year 2,707,154 bushels. Wheat Is obviously the great staple of our grain exports but 1n the last year of the period we exported about 10,000,000 bushels as flour, which makes the total for the year about 56,000,000 (bushels, or say 18,000,000 bushels less than the total quantity ot wheat Inspected tor sale ln the northwest provinces.

If the Kootenays are to have a separate building definite steps in this direction, should be taken at tlie forthcoming meeting of the associated boards, and if this ls to be done the matter should first be considered by the local boards. In connection with any such exhibit to secure the best results tt would be wise to follow the example of Alaska at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific fair at Seattle. At that fair Alaska has Its own building, where lectures are given every day on tlie country and its resources. These are Illustrated by maps, diagrams, etc., and have proved most Interesting to thousands of visitors to the fair. It would mean a lot to the Kootenays to be properly represented at the proposed Winnipeg world's fair, but If tills Is to be done the making of the various arrangements must not be left until the last minute. The first steps cannot be taken too soon. ©he IMIb Stew*. Published at Nelaon Brery Morning Except Monday, by Newa Publlahlng Company, Limited W. Q. HcMORRIS ..Manager WINNIPEG WORLD'S FAIR Mr. Fred W. Drewry, in an interview published in yesterday's issue of The Dully News, drew attention to the importance to the west generally ot the proposed world's fair at Winnipeg In 11112, which the people of that city are now engaged ln promoting. As Mr. Drewry said, such a fair will benefit the west generally quite as much as It will Winnipeg particularly. People from all over the world will travel to Winnipeg to visit this fair, and, having, there seen the exhibits from various parts ot the west, will naturally want to see the country from which these came. Tho exposition will, therefore, mean an unprecedented travel through this province as well as through other portions of the west, and British Co* lumbla will benefit as a result. The people of British Columbia in general and of the Kootenays in'par- tlcular, however, should make their plans well ahead tn order that they may secure full advantage from any exhibits which they may send. British Columbia Ib practically certain to have a provincial building at the fair. The question ls whether the exhibit from the Kootenays will be confined to tills building or whether this country will have a building of Its own. This is a matter which .might well be taken up and considered by tbe various boards of trade of the' Kootenays betore the annual meeting' of the Associated Boards of Trade of Eastern British Columbia, which will take place shortly after the first of the year ln thiB city. About that time the project of the fair will be'pretty well ln hand. The dominion government and the various provincial governments will by then have announced what measure EDITORIAL NOTES On Thursday next the vote takes place on the Tramway bylaw.

PROPOSED BROOM WORKS PROJECT TO ESTABLISH FACTORY IN NELSON UNDERTAKING WOULD UNDOUBTEDLY BE PROFITABLE ONE Tlie Idea of establishing a btoom factory iln Nelaon In tiie near future is mooted and enquiries winch have been made have proven that the undertaking would be a most profitable one. Some time ago George W, Shiedoler commenced the manufacture of brooms at Frultvale employing two journeymen who, along with himself, were kepi busy. Only hand apparatus was used und between J5 and 30 dozen brooms were turned out from the faeloiy dally. When the factory was burned out In February last orders were on hand thut would hate consumed the output ot the establishment for some months ahead and work was being rushed. To get these orders Air. Shledeler had vis ted only Nelson, Trail and Rossland, tlie remainder of the sales having heen made by. correspondence. Local dealers who handled the hioums manufactured nt the works were well pleased Willi the qunllty of the article anil stated that their customers expressed entire satisfaction. The prices asked for the ■brooms compared favorably with, those quoted by eastern manufacturers. Mr. Shledeler desired to move into Nelson on account of the fact that this city offered greater advantages as a distributing centre and also on account of the fact that electric power could he obtained to operate the machinery which ft would be necessary to Install to nllow of work being continued on a more extensive scale. Mr. Shledeler is ready to move Into Nelson now. There are. It Is said, many rearona why the manufacture of brooms in Neison for the local market could be made more profitable to a company operating here than Fred Irvine & Co.

Invite inspection of our stock and prices. We Fred Irvine & Co. j to tbe eaiitern manufacturer. Tlie supply of broom corn ls secured from tho southern nnd middle west states, chiefly Nebraska, Oklahoma and Kansas, with Minneapolis aB the chief wholesale distributing market. The broom porn shipped to the east travels almost as far as it would need to to reach Nelson, so that the eastern advantage In this regard .is not great. The broom corn Is bulky and light so thnt the freight rale on the greater distance Is not so marked as it would be on other Roods. Mr. Shledeler calculates that a factory here could meet eastern prices as far eaBt as Macleod and possibly to Medicine Hat, and while his factory at Frultvale was in operation secured nn order fiom a Calgary firm for 100 dozen brooms, To the west of the city a market is found In the Boundary, and north ns far as Revelstoke. If 25 per cent of the trade of this territory were secured by tho local enterprise M/. Shledeler estimates, the factory would I prove a successful undertaking. The machinery required for the manufacture of the brooms Is not costly us nearly all the work Is done by hand, most of | it on a piece scale. The raw materials required are subject to very slight depreciation and, accord'ng to figures, the general , cost of manufacture is not great. Judge Curran Dead MONTREAL, Oct. 1—Hon. J. J.

PLAY IS MUM ENJOYED "IN WYOMING" GREETED BY GOOD- SIZED AUDIENCE PLAY WILL BE REPEATED AT THE OPERA HOU8E TONIGHT There was n Kiiod sized and an appreciative audience ttl the opera house last veve- niitf? to witness Willard Mack's piny "In Wyoming," which wuh staged for the first time in Nelson. Judging from the m»- laiine accorded the company during the evening the house will he well filled tonight when the play Ib repented. Tho piny is descriptive of western'ranch life, nnd tho scene, as the name would Indicate, centres in Wyoming. So realistic fs It that tho audience can almost Imagine themselves be'ng out in burning sun on the sandy plains of that state. The members of the company won much fuvor with tlie audience by their laughter provoking sayings, and as a whole Ihe show was all that could be jlesiml. Owing to the fact that repairs are being made to tbe opera house at Revelstoke, In which city the play was to have been staged this evening, the company lias bad to cuncel Its engagement there nnd will, therefore, repent tlie performance here to- nlglit.

No Matter Where You Live or What You Do, You Can Make Your Money Work for You Between Vancouver and New Westminster Two weeks ago the Grand Forks Iron Works decided to locate in New Westminster. Last week the Sumner Iron Works and Burton Saw works bought sites about midway between the two cities. The Great Western Power company is spending two millions In rushing to completion their great electric power plant with its distributing station on Burnaby lake, close to our addition. Seattle has over 1000 manufacturing plants. Tacoma four hundred. We have greater natural advantages, the reBistless wave of immigration has now fairly started and in a few years our property will overlook and be within a few minutes' walk of the terminals of five great transcontinental railways and as many manufacturing plants as Seattle and Tacoma have now. ; The re-sult of cheap power and so many more railways will be magical. Lots that are now worth $200 will Boon be selling for $2,000 and no one can estimate what they will be'worth in ten years, as they will occupy tlie center of one of the world's greatest seaport cities. Surely If you have a little money to invest you cannot -he so blind to your own Interests, as to let an opportunity like this escape. You know the railways are coming, you know the manufacturing plants are going in, you know that every day values are increasing. We have had three well known Nelson men examine our property at different times during the last three weeks, two of these have bought and the other has agreed to buy. They are all advising their friends to do so. V See our surveyor's report and our agreement with purchasers, $10 monthly payments, no interest and an extension of time it required. Men who have studied the situation state that on account of their many advantages our lots are the best investment to be found between the two cities. Over two-thirds of the addition ia now sold. This is your last opportunity to secure great big level lots at only $200. Come in and see us or malt us a deposit. The Wright Investment Co. Nelson, B. C. OTTAWA, Oct. 1—A demand for a national convention of the conservative party appears in the Toronto News. "There is far less natural cohesion In an opposition than there Is ln a governing organization," It says. "Ministers are in constant touch with all parts of the country. Generally leaders of opposition are known only ln their own provinces and they meet the people only during tlie few heated weeks in which a general election is In progress, It is difficult under such circumstances to develop national leaders or to Infuse unity and energy into a party organization." After citing the examples of the United States and Great Britain the News continues: "Here we have an enormous stretch of territory, a widely- scattered population, and few, if any, national organs of opinion. The result ls that an opposition ls in danger of developing provincial tendencies, of pursuing different courses in different provinces and of exalting sectional rather than national leadership. ThiB must be hurtful to the prospects of a national party when the issue is tried I out by the country. "Moreover, the Canada of today is not the Canada of 12, IB or 20 years ago. The day is past In which any one province can be the absolute master of the political destinies ot this country. Population is reaching out into northern Ontario. A great new Canada is rising ln the west. The time has gone In which we had only to consider the interests or the prejudices of Ontario and Quebec. The west will soon rank In political importance with either of these two provinces, and the fact must be recognized by any party which alms to be powerful in the future, Are we wise to persevere in the perverse notion that we are still dealing with the Canada- of confederation and that the virile newer provinces can have no determining voice In settling national policy? "This, we venture to think, Is not the conclusion of Mr. Borden, or of any thoughtful student of the situation, and the opposition at Ottawa should be the first to secure a full expression of western opinion in some great popular convention. Moreover, the old lines of division between the historical parties of Canada have practically disappeared. Very much of what the government nt Ottawa practices Is what the liberal opposition of 15 years ago opposed. There can be little natural sympathy between the office-holding combination ut the capital and the more progressive elements of the Canadian population. Between these elements und Mr. Borden there is an undoubted identity of opinion and aspiration, and their relation should be close and cordial." The News adds that: "Mr. Borden Is the natural and inevitable leader of the conservative party. No other man in the party has quite his capacity, his maturity ot Judgment and his personal acceptIblllty, while he ranks easily as the most distinguished and authoritative figure In the party in the house of commons. But he did not seek, and there Is reason to think that he has never had any desire to retain, the leadership. No one would be more willing to submit his claims to a tlonal convention. There can be „_ doubt as to what would be the judgment of such a convention. But this Is not the chief consideration. The great end fs to bring the leaders of the conservative party together from all the provinces, adopt a national platform in the preparation of which the newer communities shall be properly Influential, and lay before the public a program which can be understood In every province, and which will represent exactly that for which the party Is to be held responsible by the country."
