The feature of the proceedings waa the lioltlng of \V. P. Maclean, to the accompaniment of Liberal cheers.

PREMIER McURIDE AND NAVAL NEEDS Advocates Canadian Navy and Cash Contribution to Motherland— Speaks in Victoria (Special to The Dally News.) VICTORIA March 10.—Speaking to a Dins meeting organized by the local navy league tonight Premier McBride said; "In the present almost Impending crisis Canada cannot do too much ■to help the motherland in naval affairs. If I had a seat in parliament at Ottawa I would rest neither night nor day, through summer or winter, until some direct vote were made to the imperial navy. This, I believe, is the attitude of the entire province. We are big enough for the business of today; we are big enough to have a Canadian navy and also to give direct cash contribution to. the motherland for naval needs, and we are big enough ito establish dockyards on both Atlantic and pacific coasts of the Dominion." The following resolutloh adopted unanimously was forwarded to Sir Wilfrid Laurier; "Thla meeting heartily endorses the permanent policy of the government as ■that best calculated In the long run to affect the greatest measure of aid to the empire but urges that an emergency exists at the present moment which necessitates an immediate additional contribution of dreadnoughts or cash. It is further resolved that the entire navy of Canada should pass automatically uptfer.the control of the commader of the royal navy on the threat or outbreak'of hostilities against Great Britain."

Ram of the C.P.R., Montreal, who arrrtred last evening to attend the Old Timers 'banquet, "and perhaps Winnipeg is one of tbe best known cities in the world today. Tbe dominion government is doing great work In the old country to bring settlers to western Canada and the C.P.R. has.never ceased In.Ha efforts to populate the country since the early days. "Perhaps one of the greatest incentives for desirable families to settle In the Canadian west is that promulgated by Sir Thomas Bbaughoesty. which * practically gives our British Mends an opportunity to obtain a ready made home at the minimum of oost and trouble. From the reports received at tbe C.P.R. offices there will he a larger Immigration from Europe and the United States this season than this country has ever experienced. The great prosperity of the west and the splendid growth or Winnipeg are the best advertisements for this land that could possibly be obtained. We all realize that in western Canada there is more money to be < made ln farming than in any other part of America and with the agencies at work there should be no fear of the result." C. P. R.

I bave very great pleasure In stating that for some weeks past this government has been In communication with the Great Northern officials at St. Paul, and we have every reason to believe that In a short itime that corporation will have completed plans for the repair of tho road from Kaslo to Sandon so as to permit of railway traffic hetween the two places. The government Is quite aware that because of the discontinuance of train service there haa been considerable hardships visited on the people of Sandon and surrounding country and to the end .that UiIb part of Slocan may be given the service it requires the government has taken up with the Great Northern this question, so that .the services may be resumed. A am glad to make this announcement because I know the people of Slocan are naturally very much concerned about this matter.

P. Morgan & Co. has under way, will be a matter of probably several months before consolidation takes on definite form. The purchase by the Morgan firm of the E. M. F. company of Detroit to merger It with the Studebaker company is only an initial step. All definite Information regarding the proposed combine was withheld at the office today but the departure took place today of Henry P. Davidson, a Morgan partner for Europe where Mr. Morgan now is, for the purpose of conferring with Mr. Morgan In the matter. It Is now generally believed that the General Motor company, controlling nearly a dozen companies the United Motor empany controlling three large companies, and the Studebaker company, including the B. M. F. company, will form the nucleus of the big combination. The capitalization of these companies total {9 000 000.

R. Haldane." The party or the first part is F. G. Fauquter, the well ktiown rancher of the Needles. With each block of Arrow Lake fruit land that Mr. Fauquier Is dlsposig of, goes one family goat. This is ln no sense a "Josh." These are the terms that Mr. Fauquier is offering. And as a result of Mr. Fauquier's selling trip to the prairie from which he has just returned, he is legally bound to furnish three goats of tbe above description. "What do you know about goats?" was the quiz thrown at Mr. Fauquier last night. Three Premium. Nannies "Not as much as I am going to know " waB Mr. Fauquier's retort. "But I am giving them away as premiums with ■my tracts of fruit land. 1 have Just made a very successful trip to the prairie, going by -the maifc-ltne as.far as Medicine Hat, and returning by the Crow. When a prospective buyer would say to me, 'What will I do for milk for my family?' I would reply, 'With the tract I win give you a good milking goat, free.' This proposition was invariably greeted with an explosion of laughter but In .tlie end It took. I sold three tracts on this basis to men with families, and three or more sales are in prospect, alt from this trip." "What kind of goats are you going to furnish?" "Haldane's," was tlte pointed reply. "Oh I believe in goats let me tell you" continued the Arrow Lake man. "I am going to take several of that shipment for myself, to try them out on my place and see what they are like. If they come up to my expectations, I will raise goats. One goat, picketed or fenced tn, will give milk for a family and everyone knows .they are great for clearing .land. A man with a family, taking a Bmall block of land, cannot of course keep a cow. but a goat will furnish the necessary nrllk and will assist In clearing the uncleared portion of the tract." Sells Season's Crop The fruit land and goats were only one phase of Mr. Fauquier's trip. Beside practically placing five families, all of whom will settle on the land and develop it he sold liis entire coming season's crop of small fruits and garden truck, Including strawberries, raspberries, corn and tomatoes, to dealers on the prairie at exceptionally good figures the same dealers having handled much of his output in previous years. When the inquiry, "What do you know about goats?" was handed to James Johnstone the well known Nelson rancher laughed and confessed that he had a soft spot in his heart for goats. Mr. Johnstone Endorses "I do" not think there Is any doubt about lt," said Mr. Johnstone. "Goats would pay, and sheep would pay still better but the one drawback is the coyotes and the mountain lions. A mountain lion has a way of smelling out goats and sheep. Of course there Ib a way to protect them. Once Mr. Annable and I ordered a shipment of goats from the States our principal idea being to have them as an attraction for the fair. At the last minute word was sent that they could not arrive till three days after the fair, -ind we cancelled the order. But T have often thought that goats ought to do •well and I often think I would reliBh mutton too. I am glnd the experiment Is to be tried. The goats should he great for clearing the land." GROUND TO PIECES NEWARK N. J., March 10.—After falling into a vat filled with tanning acid William Karcber was ground to death by the revolving steel labels in the leather manufacturing works of Blanchard Bros, & Lane.

STILL JFIGHTS Board of Trade Opposes Post Office Closing Seeks Aid from British Columbia Members Will Present Evidence to Insurance Commission The ifieeting oF the board of trade last night was particularly well attended and the session was more lengthy than usual. A variety of Important questions were dealt with. The baard has not abandoned hope of securing some modification of the obnoxious regulation closing postoffice lobbies on Sunday, and the good off-Ices of the British Columbia members will be requested. The desired establishment of a lumlgatlon station for nursery stock was the subject of considerable discussion, and the matter was left In the hands of the committee to continue negotiations. Tiie approaching session of the Insurance commission, expiess rates on tish, the assistance granted by the Dominion government to the zinc Industry, improvement of the postal service, the public library, and the summer schedule of the C.P.R. were among the subjects under discussion. F. A. Starkey was in tile chair and E. G. Beesion acted us secretary. Postoffice Closing A terse letter Irom a secretary of the postmaster general was read, making formal acknowledgement on the receipt of the board of trade's resolution protesting against the closing of post- otfice lobbies, Mr. Starkey did not wish to abandon the fight, it was pointed out that deliveries were made In Toronto on Sunday to the principal hotels and Mr. Starkey thought It might be possible to secure a similar service here as these was no other point where so many people were adversely affected ,'by the new rule. M. G. Goodeve s-nggc&sd that tf the postoffice were opened an hour or two earlier on Monday so that travellers could obtain their "mail before leaving on the Crow boat the inconvenience would be diminished to some extent, lt was suggested that ft might be possible to have a report from the inspector on special local conditions forwarded to Ottawa. On motion of S. A. Kelly seconded by W. F. Roberts it was decided to send copies of the board of trade's resolution to the British Columbia members asking tliem to use their influence with the postmaster general and If necessary secure a report from the postof- Ilce Inspector. Fumigation Station A letter was read from W. E. Scoti, deputy minister of agriculture, In reply to the board's resolution asking for the establishment In Kootenay of a fumigation station for nursery stock. Mr, Scott said that the request uud often been urged by eastern nurserymen, who alone It would benefit. He expressed the opinion that the amount of, nursery stock Imported was getting so small that It would not justify the expense of establishing and maintaining a station. The Inspector had had trouble with infection from ea-sttjiin Canada and the deputy minister recommended buying stock In Kootenay Instead of in districts where conditions were different. He concluded by promising to bring the matter before the board of horticulture at its meeting in Kamloops tn April. Mr. Starkey thought the deputy minister did, not realize conditions. It would be some time before sufficient nursery stock would lye procurable In Kootenay. P. G. Ebbutt, as chairman of the committee dealing with the matter, said that he had not,been able to discover any eastern nurseryman who seemed willing to start a nursery ln British Columbia. Dr. Wolverton said that Mr. Annatle hind ordered seedlings but the firm from which he had ordered had been unable to make delivery. He had ordered 2000 trees from Grand Forks but had been unable to get two varieties he wished for. Trees grown at the coast were unsatisfactory because the season there was earlier than here. Trees from Grand Forks had been found to be Injured by frost. G. H. Playle said the deputy minister had evidently overlooked the fact that the increasing demand for seedlings could not he met by local nurseries, Mr. Starkey thought that the minister might be asked to nt least deal with the matter before April. Finally, on motion of Messrs. Roberts and Playle the subject was referred to the committee with-a view to pointing out to eastern nurserymen that the government was unlikely to establish a fumigation station here and the consequent desirability of Instituting a nursery, in Kootenay. Letters were received from Harry Wright, M.P.P., J. H. Schofield, M.P.P. and William Hunter, M.P.P. expressing their hearty appreciation of the need for a fumigation station and promising their support and co-operation. Blasting Powder Correspondence regarding the board's endorsement ofi the Robson Farmers' institute's request for an act compelling manufacturers of stumping powder to print Instructions and warnings on the packages, was read. H. Wright, M.PP and J H. Schofield, M.P.P. wrote that they would give the request all .the support In their power. Suggests Luncheon M. S. Mlddleton, assistant horticulturist, wrote that W. E. Scott, deputy minister of agriculture and 3. C. Metcalfe,, markets commissioner, would address the Farmers' institute on April 4 and suggesting that the board should entertain the speakers at a light luncheon and discuss with them the piomotlon of agriculture and particularly of successful marketing. Ihe suggestion was left lu the hands of tlie president. Publicity Campaign .1. L. Buchan leported on 'behalf of the publicity committee. He had waited on the mayor to ascertain what the city would be prepared to do in regard to assisting the establishment of new industries and the reply had been that cheap power and a free site would be available. A number of letters were read In which the writers said they had been attracted by the advertisements of the publicity committee and asked for particulars as to the advantages of the Nelson district in respect to climate, fruit growing and industries. Mr. starkey said he thought that the public failed to realize the splendid work being done by the publicity committee, or more generous contributions would be received. Others were doing the work and all that was asked waa suilfeient funds to carry on the campaign. Freight on Fish Mr. Starkey b.ought to the attention of the board the fact that the Dominion government paid one-third of the express on fish to Alberta or Saskatchewan from the Pacific coast and suggested that It should be requester, to do the same for fish shipped to Kootenay points. There seemed considerable doubt as to whether the retailer or co.*»unier would reap the benefit and no action was taken. Mr. Roberts thought tt would be better if the government would give a grant to uld the local tish Industry by stocking the waters with fish. Insurance Commission Mr. Starkey reminded the board that the InbUraiice commission would hold a session in Nelson and proposed that n u-'aiimutee lie appointed to present evidence. H. G. Goodeve suggested that a lawyer be engaged but on motion of Messrs. Roberts and Stark Mr. Star- key's suggestion was adopted, the president naming Messrs. Stark, Crease and i-Lilie its members of the committee. Resolution of Appreciation ,, Mr. starkey drew attention to the fact that tbe Dominion government had voted $50,000 ln the estimates for encouraging the zinc industry. This action was In compliance with the request of the recent conference on the zinc industry summoned by the board of trade and he suggested that it would be fitting to pass a resolution expressing appreciation of tbe government's action, j On motion of Messrs. Wolverton and Stark tiie suggestion was adopted and a copy of the lesolutlon wll] be sent to the premier, minister of finance and minister of mines. Postal Service The mall service on the line of the Great Northern railway between Nelson and Wane.a was -referred to by Mr. Ebbutt who said that the towns were handicapped by the fact that all letters had to 'be brought to Nelson to be sorted. This occasioned delay and the towns* had petitioned the postmaster general for a postal car service. There was much activity in these communities especially in the Sheep Creek district and Mr. Ebbutt thought it was time that a better service -was given. He proposed, seconded by Mr. Goodeve, that ;i resolution be passed pointing out the Increased population along the line and that the present arrangement seriously handicapped business and petitioning for a postal car service. Mr. Starkey remarked that he understood tnat tiie Nelson postmaster was In favor of the change. He thought It a most Important matter and lemlndeJ the board that whatever benefitted these communities benefitted Nelson. The resolution carried unanimously. The mall service to Crawford Bay was brought to the attention of the 'board by W. F. Mawdsley who pointed out the advantage that would be secured if malts were forwarded on the. Kokanee. A resolution was passed asking that the question be taken up by the postoffilce inspector. Train Service W. G. Thomson mentioned that the C.P.R. officials were now arranging the summer schedule. Last year passengers had little time in Nelson, and he advised that an effort be made to have the tlrne table so arranged that passengers passing through Nelson might have an opportunity to see the city In daylight. Seconded by B. R. Fox he moved that a telegram be sent to the officials stating that this was the desire of the board. The motion carried. Public Library The good work being performed by the public library wus placed before (Continued on rage Five.)

Despite the fact that the resignation of Premier Rutherford was confidently expected yesterday, there is now a disposition to allow Uie premier to conduct the business of tho government to the close of, the session, so that the estimates may be passed.

MARCH 1t The Of Circumstances -And YOU In this city, as everywhere, the Mill of Circumstances is grinding, away 24 hours a day—and, today, it may be grinding YOUR GRIST. It may be turning one of the incidents of this town's daily life into an opportunity for you—into an advantage for you. When a merchant gets caught in "the Mill," and is pressed for cash, YOU benefit in the enforced sacrifice of some of his stocks-that is, YOU BENEFIT, if you keep posted on what is going on "at the Mill" by reading the ads. A real estate owner gets into "the Mill," and sacrifices some of his property in order to get out again—pays his toll. The owners of things—motor boats securities, businesses, machinery, horses and carriages, typewriters, office fixtures, houses, books, pictures—gets into this old "Mill of Circumstances," and out of their troubles come your opportunities. They pay their toll. Incidentally, it's better to watch ads., and profit by the products of "the Mill'' than to get caught in it yourself. Although, if your turn should come, an ad. will usually get you out safely. SPIRIT OF CASTE DYING AT OXFORD UNIVERSITY Tbe spirit of caste has commonly been associated with the reputation of Oxford; but if we take the recent confessions of a workman's son this haughty goddess has deserted her shrine. There are some who now say that •this spirit ts invading American colleges. Has she become a homeless wanderer and Is knock ing at any hospitable door? At all events this Oxford man "H. A.," whose confessions appear in the Manchester Guardian, asserts that "class prejudice hardly existed at all" in< bis own college. With few exceptions he was on the most friendly footiiiK with all the men of his own year and with most: of the men next above and below liiip. Cliques he admits, "but they are not formed on class lines." Then too, there is "at Oxford a strong and forcible minority who to some extent do really justify the vehement attacks made upon them from tbe foot of the Martyr's Memorial on Sunday evenings by fanatical Socialists." But this man sees also "extremists of the rich, just as the vehement revolutionary Is the extremist of the poor." This writer whose words are quoted in The American Educational Review (New York) entered Oxford at the age of 29 after having taught In an elementary school. The standard of life so ■much higher than* he had previously known, caused him not only dismay, but repulsion. He describes his first "hall dinner.." Solid Silver Spoons "Solid silver spoons and forke! What wicked waste; A clean napkin every night! A four or five course dinner and only once (n my life had I experienced an evening dinner. Truly I was a commoner! Opposite sat a lord's son by my side the son of a famous writer; near me were the descendants of historical families. I was poor, shy, nervous ,sore in spirit alone as I had never been before. It was a new world and I was half afraid. As 1 returned alone through the shadowy quandrangle past the ancient building up to my room I felt heartsick and miserable. Nor was the warm solitude of my room at first any antidote. It was full of ghosts. Famous men had lived In it—at least one great poet, one famous historian. Other looms on the staircase had housed great statesmen, literary men, poets, thinkers. Why, then was I here? Was It all a dream? Or was it really true thrit the old hard life was behind me, that I too was at last given the chance for which I had craved for which so many better more worthy men that I crave ln vain down below there in the schools, the factories, the foundries? ". . . . I didn't understand servants! It was so strange to have a man at one's beck and call. Nor did ir/seem right that,I who had always waited on myself, cleaned my boots, done odd Jobs about the house should have all these things done for me. But when at 7.30 on my first morning at college the good man came.Into my bedroom, drew up the blind pou/ed cold water into the shallow bath, and said, 'Half-past seven, sir.' then Indeed, I was shocked! He evidently expected me to have a cold bath; to sprinkle myself with tcy water on that keen October morning—a most unheard-of proceeding! A further sense of strangeness afflicted me ln the possession of two rooms a 'bedded' and a 'sitter' the latter a large double-windowed room very comfortably furnished, and with the walls all paneled not with oak put painted wood. There were no pictures—those I could provide if I wanted—and from one of the pile of advertisements received during the next few days I learned that pictures could be hired by the term. But having pictures was out of the question. By some oversight the college authorities had omitted to notify me that I must provide my own table linen cutlery etc. . . . "It ts necessary to say that such expenditure caused me the greatest of all my discomforts? During the first few days I was maddened by the way In which 'freshmen' were throwing money about. Pictures, cushions, fancy articles, pipes, clothing, baths books, wines tobacco cigarettes—to say nothing of the linen and cutlery—were all being bought in huge quantities at fancy prices. To me. whose purse had always been but poorly furnished whoso career nine years ago at a day training college had been a time of poverty so great that frequently two meals a day had to suffice; that for a week at a time I was absolutely penniless; that for Saturday night after Saturday night I was glad to earn four shillings for playing the piano in a certain lit* tie public house. . . . to me this lavish expenditure seemed at first not merely unnecessary but criminal." Forms Friendships He soon began to form social connections, and this Is how he writes about that phase of Oxford life; " 'It was very good of you to come. You know I sometimes feel that men like me are not fit to talk to men like you. You have worked hard and struggled upward, and'we've done just -nothing except spend money we never earned mostly on pleasures and dissipations.' This was said quietly simply, and I believe sincerely as I was leaving a student's room, after having eaten the largest and most costly breakfast I had ever enoyed. He was the The St. Nicholas SPOKANE'S NEWEST AND MOST MODERN HOTEL ^Recently opened under the management of H, P.

The St. Nicholas First Avenue at Stevens St. SPOKANE, U. S. A. son of a n extremely wealthy man; he had a princely allowance from his father; he came from a famous public school. And in spite of my forcible Interjection of the word 'rubbish!' in spite of the little argument I could bring to bear on his statement he was evidently depressed by reflection on hts own idleness and wealth. Nor was this the only occasion on which men like htm have said the same sort of thing to or about me. I n fact, I have been amused, astounded even provoked to find that in my own college were men who gave me a sort of halo, and approached me with the diffidence I confess I felt toward them, merely because I was supposed to be 'a real live worklngman who had seen life, and had struggled up to Oxford just as the story book young man does.' One modest youth expressing to a friend of mine hts desire to know me said; 'But I don't suppose he'll care to talk to me. I'm so Ignorant of things.' Rich Not Indifferent "Thus before long I was actually being sought as the man who knew a good deal at first hand of social problems and the life of the poor. At debating societies I was soon embarrassingly in request, for a characteristic of Oxford today Is the extraordinary Interest taken In all sorts of social questions — unemployment poverty housing, education the right to work, slum fife conditions of labor, sweated Industries, ' Such subjects have occupied a very large proportion of the debates both at the Union and at the various college societies. It was this keen interest In social reforms which first showed me my greatest misconception with regard to the 'upper classes.' Like most loyal members of the proletariat I had preached of tlie callousness, the indifference of the rich to the sufferings of the poor. I had honestly believed that the rich were more responsible for the evils of poverty and unemployment, rack-renting and sweated labor. But now that I was thrown1 among these ravening beasts like a slave among wolves for their delectation I found that quite a large number of these wolves we're watch-dogs." ' MURDERER HANGED John Mescl, Author of Quill Lake Tragedy, Pays Penalty PRINCE AU3ERT, March 10—With- out a flinch, steady as though he were going to take exercise In the jail yard yesterday John Mescl, the seir-confessed murderer of Quill Lake, went to his ■doom in the icoal jail at 6 o'clock this mora Ing. It was but a few minutes to the hour when Hangman Jones of Saginaw went into the condemned man'B cell. He was quickly pinioned and the sad procession wended its way through the building up to the scaffold which had ■ been erected just outside the door leading to the yard. In the street behind a number of morbid minded persons gathered hoping to see some of the gruesome scene, but the yard was boarded in on all sides and nothing was visible. It was about 8:02 when Rev. 0. U. Young reached the words in the Lord's Prayer "deliver us from evil" and the lever was pulled. Thirteen minutes and live seconds later H. A. L. Ret4 the jail surgeon, pronounced the man dead. Convinced of Forgiveness Mescl walked to the scaffold with almost a look of triumph In his eye; that ls if so sullen a countenance can be said to be expressive of anything. He was fully convinced that he had been forgiven by Jesus adn was going straight to heaven. He had confessed right nlong and Rev. Mr. Young, hia spiritual adviser, told your correspondent this morning tbat bis mind was quite made up. He had also break- tasted this morning, the regular meal, with dainties afterwards. The crime for -which Mescl paid this supreme penalty was one of the most brutal in tlie province. He came upon Mrs. George Thorbunr of Quill Lake for whom he worked, in the Held, and telling ber to prepare herself, brutally did her to death with an axe. He then killed George Thorburn, the husband, and Mrs. McNlven, Thorburn's mother- in-law.

MUCH BUSINESS IN CLOSING DAYS Premier on Trackmen—Bush Fires Act—Municipal Clauses—Tim ber Thieves VICTORIA, March 7—Upon the opening of the house this morning the premier announced that, as soon-as news had been received of the enow-slide disaster at Roger's Pass instructions wers «ent to the government agents at Golden and Revelstoke to lend all assistance possible In aiding the injured and in searching Dor dead bodies. A dispatch from the agent at Revelstoke Informed the government that 64 persons had been killed, about half of ■whom were whites. The premier then -said: "On behalf of the legislature of British Columbia, I would like to place on record our sympathy for the relatives of those who lost'their lives in trying to keep clear the track to allow the trains to pass through. Those of us who have travelled through the mountains know something of the dangers of mountain railroading, and-can readily form some idea of the danger these men incurred in being called on to clear the tracks. We know how cheerfully they respond to such calls. Thi-j occurrence will be ranked among the most heroic acts of these men lu the work they do for the protection of the travelling public." J. H. Hawthornthwaite, Nanaimo, joined the premier in his expressions and hoped -tlie government would grant relief, legislative or otherwise, -to those who were left In need. Buch Fire Act The amendment to the Bush Fire-j act was reported. Considerable discussion occurred over this. Mr, Parker Williams did not see how It was possible to equitably adjust the provisions against setting out fires during certain months without working an injustice to a settler. Moreover, the difficulty of proving that the spread of fire was not accidental was very great and personally liis scheme of morals would not.prevent him from winking at such accidents. Mr. Brewster sympathized with the settlers' situation and at the same time thought that every precaution should be taken to save adjoining Umber. The chief commissioner of lands explained that the object of the amendment was to fix responsibility of setting Elres on the owner of land whether by himself, his agent, servant or contractor. He quite realized the difficulties In tiie way of the settler clearing land, and he would be only too pleased to accept any suggestions In way of covering them. The bill was reported. More Aid to Hospitals In moving the second reading of the 'bill to amend the Hospital act the provincial secretary explained that in connection with the larger hospitals the Increase of expense had been so great that it was found necessary to raise the limit of allowance per head of patients treated. The bill passed the committee stage without opposition. Municipal Act Amendments Several clauses in the bill to amend the Municipal Clauses act were the subject of considerable discussion. Clause 2 proposed to make the division of municipalities into wards permssive. The old question arose as to whether the ward system was a good or a bad one. The attorney general said there was no mani.est disposition on the part of the public to do away with wards. If any municipality wanted to do so it had already the power by getting 50 per cent ot the assessed property owners to sign a petition to tbat elifect. Fencing of Vacant Lots Another clause (for the compelling of fencing of vacant lots, etc. was amend- e,d by striking out Uie words "in clUes Tor compelling the fencing of unfenced lands in any specified street or district." The member for the Islands thought It a very undesirable provision In the interests of public safety, as well as imposing an unnecessary burden on property owners. Tax Exemption for Sports Clause 13 for the exemption of recreation grounds from taxation provoked a good deal of debate. The object in view met with general approval, but tbe member for Nanaimo did not think, for lustance, that it should apply to golf links or to other property devoted to the exclusive use of a club or association or to any purpose for the making of profit. The clause was held over. Juvenile ourts The clause with reference to juvenile court-a was amended by providing for salaries for all persons connected with it as well as for the judge of such court. The compulsory removal of buildings or draii-ns, ponds, etc., adjudged to be dangerous to public health was restricted to city municipalities. Transient Real Estate Agents During the consideration of clause 18 for the imposition o£ license fees not exceeding $100 for every six months in the case of transient real estate agents the member for Nanaimo moved that development leagues and 'booster clubs should be taxed $1000. It was of course voted down. Two clauses, 18 and 21, dealing with the rights of municipalities in regard to street encroachments and the taking of realty for certain purposes were struck out after which the committee rose and reported pro- gross and the house adjourned until 2 o'clock tomorrow to permit of the holding of "the speaker's dinner this evening. . ,uU_i. fortnightly Pay Days W.

It provides that timber taken from each section covered by a license shall have "separate and distinct marks for each vrown grant, lease or license."

CANADIAN PACIFIC ADVERTISING WEST Splendid Directory of Industrial and Business Opportunities—Want Aid of Boards of Trade "Manufacturing and Business Opportunities In Western Canada," first edition, is the official title of a publloa- ton just issued by lhe C.P.R. It was compiled nnd edited by the indnslri.il department, under tlie authority of V. W. Peters, assistant to the second vice- president. Bound in stiff covers. Us even hundred pages is crammed with condensed and specific Informal ion about western Canada commencing with. Western Ontario and ending with Vancouver Island. The provinces and districts are taken seriatim and each province has a general introduction, following which each important town is treated in turn. The publication is, in fact, an industrial drectory of western Canada. One of its most valuable features Is an industrial index. Tu illustrate, if a man wishes to start a creamery in Manitoba, he turns to "Manitoba" in this Index, and under "creamery" he finds the names of 25 towns that desire the establishment of such an institution. Similarly under "British Columbia" one finds nine towns that await the coining of a canning factory. Periodical Revision This publication will be revised periodically and local boards of trade are advised to communicate to the industrial department any changes they may have to suggest in the text about their own town or district and particularly in regard to their industrial needs. "Manufacturing and Business Opportunities In Western Canada" will go wherever lt will do most good, throughout the English speaking world, and It constitutes about the finest kind of advertising the west can receive. As an example of the method used throughout, in the Kootenay section of British Columbia, Nelson, Bonnington Falls, Sandon, Trail; Slocan City and Hossland are given individual treatment. *> About Nelson Of Nelson, it Is recorded—"Population 7000.

That is the difference between speculation and Investment Do you know, there are buildings In Vancouver that are paying back their first cost every three years, and advancing in value every day, too. But the average Investor cannot take advantage of the opportunities to invest in Inside property—the Initial outlay being greater than he can finance—except on one system—Business Units—Our System— and applied to the very highest form of revenue producing investment—Apartment House property. Listen—The Pacific Investment Croporation, Limited has purchased for the sum of $25,000 a double corner 132x132 feet, the southeast corner of Davie and Jervls streets, the very finest apartment building site in Vancouver's exclusive West End. The company is going to erect the finest and most up to date 6- story Apartment House in Western Canada—on the business unit system—and the estimated cost for property and building is $135,000.

A MEMORABLE SESSION A memorable session of the provincial legislature has now drawn to its close. Of political conflict it has seen little, hut of profoundly important legislation it has seen a great deal. A government fresh from overwhelming victory "at the polls Becure tn the possession of power, supported by members whose confidence in their leader Is unbounded, has not only heen careful to fulfill scrupulously Its promises but has also put through a programme of progressive and public spirited legislation such as might be expected from a ministry about to face tbe electorate at the ballot box. This Is some- thing in which any good citizen, or whatever party lie may be, may well rejoice.' It evinces a spirit that promises well for the protection and advancement of the Interests of the people ot British Columbia. Not since the days of Sir John Macdonald has the Conservative party In any province had a leader possessing in the same degree as Hon. Mr. McBride the enthusiastic support of his party and the personal attachment and esteem of its individual members. More than once was this shown in the most striking manner during the session. On one occasion, it will be remembered Mr. Hawthornthwaite accused the members of hero-worship; but Instead of denying the assertion or entertaining It unwillingly, the Conservative members welcomed it with an outburst of cheering. "E'en the ranks of Tuscany " —the Socialist and Liberal members— while they are his opponetns politically share in the appreciation of his personal qualities. One has heard conjectures as to the possibility of so great a majority being divided by Internal dlssentlon as a similar majority has been divided in Alberta. But Premier Rutherford, with all his merits, Is not a man who has those qualities of leadership which the British Columbia premier shares with sucli men as Sir John Macdonald and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Nor has he had a similar training in the school of politics. He has not been so much a man who was born great or who achieved greatness as one who had greatness thrust upon him. He had not to. win his way as Laurier had or to contend through a long term of years with such difficulties as had the premier of this iprovlnce; he hud not to create a party and to hold it together under such circumstances as existed here in tlie period Immediately following 1903. He did not make his party in the legislature; his party made him. His position as premier fell, bo to speak into his lap. Even before his present troubles no one would ever have accused his supporters in the legislature of hero- worship. Alarm was expressed In some quae ters last autumn at the almost un checked power the government would hold as a'result of the overwhelming majority it had secured. But how has it made use of that power? It has gone to work Industriously and steadily with a series of excellent and carefully scrutinized measures—with legislation for the protection of the workingman's wages, for the regulation of the liquor traffic, for the accommodation of the travelling public for the health of school children; for juvenile courts to save erring youths, for the preservation of our timber wealth, and for many other useful and public-spirited objects. Generous provision has been made for roads, bridges and other public works; and the railway contract itself, though framed after the election, has more than carried out tlie promises that were made as to what it would contain in the public interest. * It is a good record; the work done will have a far-reaching effect for good; men of all political parties will, we are sure join in congratulating the legislature on the session of 1!U0. IT MAY CONCERN US, TOO The benefit to our coast cities of the completion of the Panama canal is obvious enough. It means a great la- crease in the quantity of grain shipped out from tlie prairie to the Pacific seaboard. It means the shipment of coast timber to markets on the Atlantic coast, which It cannot now reach because of tlie long and expensive railway haul. It means greatly reduced rates on merchandise from the Atlantic coast. The last named consideration is one that affjecits us too. As every one knows, rates on many commodities would be higher than they are but for ■the competition afforded by vessels bringing cargoes by the long and dangerous route via Cape Horn. What then will be the effect of the opening of a sea route that will save the distance involved in twice travelling the whole length of the continent of South America? It jneans that rates to Vancouver will go down and that the cost of bringing in supplies and machinery of various kinds will he reduced. It means that large quantities of goods now brought into Alberta and the Crow's Nest Pass by rail from the east will then be brought In from the west. It means ■that wholesale centres In British Columbia will do a good deal of business now done by wholesale centres like Calgary and Winnipeg. Taken together with the construction of the Kettle River Valley railway and other railway construction, lt cannot ■but Improve the position of Nelson and the Kootenays in more ways than one. . EDITORIAL NOTES A tariff commission sent by the American government Is at present In Ottawa. Times are changed since Canada fruitlessly sent tariff commissions to Washington. To many of the officers of the C. P. R. Uie sudden dislocation of traffic must mean days of arduous and trying work. That they should cope with such a situation In so admirable and successful a manner shows what sort of stuff tbe company has in its service and the executive ability It has at Us command. It Is some Indication also of the extent of the resources at Its disposal. Only a great company, well equipped with rolling stock, and well organized could Improvise a new transcontinental train service on a day's notice.

In the course of the communication Mr. Cunningham says: "I believe we shall do something In that direction during the present year. I have long held that the best way to convey practical Information to fruit growers is to have an orchard under the sole direction of the board of agriculture, so that the best system of planting, pruning and packing may be Illustrated. For several years I have been doing all in my ■power to have the government provide us "with the means of taking a specimen orchard through the different horticultural districts that we might be able to demonstrate the best methods of cultivation, pruning and spraying and the packing of fruits. I believe we shall come to this ultimately."

TRAIL March 10.—At a regular meeting of the city council on Monday evening Aid. Robillard,' chairman of the board of works, submitted an* estimate of $2,028 for the filling in of Bay avenue bridge with slag. The figures Include flumlng the slag from tlie smelter, excavating and the cribbing of Trail creek. It Is also proposed to levy an assessment of $1 per front foot on the property directly benefitted by the fill. Trail creek, from a point near Hagglund's blacksmith shop on Bay avenue, will be straightened amd carried through on Farwell street to ithe Columbia. This part of the work will require considerable excavating and cribbing and will be the big Item of expense ln the project. Work will be commenced at once, and it is expected that the fill will be completed in about three months. When the work Is completed It will greatly Improve adjacent property in the north end of the city and will remove an eyesore that has been the "bete noire" of civic administrators for a number of years and has been the subject of many warm debates in the council and much dissatisfaction among citizens generally. Harry Anderson has disposed of his property on Spokane street to W. Graham. He has also purchased Mr. Graham's team of draft horses and will take them out to the ranch at Murphy creek, Harry White Is winding up his affairs in. the city aud will leave shortly for Spokane where he will engage ln the real estate business with his brother-in law, W. Regan. G. M. Annable of Moose Jaw was in the city last week looking after his timber interests at Violin lake. PAPER MILLS STRIKE IS SPREADING RAPIDLY GLEN FALLS N. Y. March 10.—"^he strike at the International paper mill Is spreading daily from one mill to another. In addition to the shutdown by the South .Glen Falls plant, the mill at Niagara Falls closed down yesterday. And this afternoon the mill at Fort Edward will close, making five mills of the company which are not running. Strike breakers were run into South Glen Falls plant last night bur the boss machine tender at the plant struck today In sympathy with the strikers which badly crippled the company in starting any of its machines. Thus far no more riots have occurred at Corinth which Is due to tiie protection given by Company L of Saratoga. Here at Glen Falls no trouble has occurred. IS GYROSCOPE A TOY? Or Will It Cause Revolution in Traction System ? A ear will certainly run on a single rail when buluncud by a spinning gyroscope— this has been sufficiently proven by Bren- iihii In England and by Seller! in Germany, working Independently. But what of it? Is the Gyroscope ear an interesting toy merely, or Is It to effect a revolution In om* traction systems? An editorial writer In tlie Sclent Hie American ,New York, January 22, ls convinced that It can have only a limited use under present conditions, Taking up the rolling stock first, he notes that "malnlv because of Its perfect adaptability to take the curves, whatever the degree uf sharpness, with a minimum risk of dei ailment, the promoters of the system claim that trains of this type will be run at speeds from 50 to 100 per,cent greater than those that are possible on two- tracks." But is must be remembered that "if the now system is to compete with the old, tha trains •must provide at lettst the same capacity and comfort as the present Pullman trains," and the question of weight arises. The tiucks would be lightened by the reduction of the number of wheels, and It Is probable that the weight saved lu this way would be about equal to the eight or nine per cent represented hy the weight of the gyroscope mechanism. The mechanism, on the other hand, would be ^•he motion of the car "would undoubtedly be easier." "The lateral swaying and shocks incident to the present two-rail system would give place to a very gentle and probably Imperceptible rocking motion, due to the controlling action of tlie gyroscopes.

Here the claims of the new system for more simplicity are met by the objection thnt the increased velocity and the concentration of weight on one roll would necessitate a rail heavier than any heretofore known, and would demand u roadbed of solid masonry.

One line of tails would be dispensed with altogether, lt Is true; but the lemalulng rail would In any case have to be made far heavier and stlffer; and if, as Is claimed, the speed Is to be doubled, probably some altogether new system of track would have to be devised. In the first place the concentrated weight on each set of wheels would be exactly doubled; and, since the dynamic shocks upon the track, culverts, bridges, etc., are directly related to the momentum, und the momentum increases directly us the weight and as the square of the velocity, it follows that the dynu- 1c stresses upon the rail, due to luck of perfect allnement, low Joints, slight deviations from the true line of the curves, would for double the velocity be lust eight times us great with a 60-ton gyroscopic car us they would be with one of the ordinary type. This could be met by devising a rail with a head several inches In width, und wit'n a depth at least twice that of the present rull. It ls doubtful if the present system of cross-ties and stone ballast would present sufficient solidity, and some form of permanent masonry roudned would seem to be a necessity, at least for carrying express trains ot the proposed speeds of 100 miles an hour and over." As for cost of maintenance, this, the writer thinks, would undoubtedly be le- dueed, since the labor of keeping two rails to gage and maintaining super-elevation on curves would be eliminated. On the score of safety, also provided a suitable form of truck were built, the argument is In favor of the gyroscopic car, especially on curves. Tlie wilter concludes: Has a Future "It seems to us that If there is a future for the new system, It will be founr. ;. the construction of pioneer rallrouds through undeveloped country, and particu- lury through mountainous and hilly country where the line must of necessity be very circuitous. The self-adjusting qualities of the cure enable It to run around curves which would be altogether Impossible for a two-track mllroad. The monorail track could be located around a hill or bluff, through which a two-track railroad would have to puss with heavy and expensive excavation. Moreover, for this class of railroad a much lighter car would be practicable mid extremely nigh speeds would not be demunded. This decrease lu weight and speed would mean a greater 1 eduction In the lirst cost and subsquent cost of maintenance of the system. If the new type should demonstrate in service of this kind Its commercial practicability, it Is quite conceivable that it would be gradually applied to the more Important lines of travel, and eventually to the main trunk roads."

EMMERSON IS LIKE DUNDREARTS PEACOCK Has Flock all to Himself—Opposed to Naval Policy of Government and Opposition OTTAWA, March 10.—Hon. H. R. Em- lueisoii, who continued tne navul debute, declared ttiat he was not wholly In accord with t^ie government bin, but lie was completely out of tune with the Borden and Monk amendments. He wus afraid in this instance he would, like the famous pc-u- cock or Lord uunureary, nave to flock all by hlmseir, slone. He Jiad heen a faithful supporter of the Llbeial government lor aa years, and tne one thing about mat party which compelled his allegiance, was in liberty oi conscience accorded every member of It. This siatt-incut drew forth laughter und a chorus of "oh, oh's" from the opposition uencnes. It was not pleasant for a follower, added Mr, Emmersuti, to be In a position wnere he couid not see eye to eye with His leaders, but In his case his convictions would nol be suppressed. After this profession of faith Mr. Bmmeruon denounced Mr. Monk as the leader of the "Do Nothing" party, and characterized Mr. Borden s gift of the two Dreadnought proposition as an act of expediency not of policy. Ho agreed with tne government on the principle of the hill but questioned the need ot bringing the matter before the country at the present time. Disclaims the Honor Mr. Emmersou denied that he hud used the tei-tu "tin pol navy," He nud been heralded all over the country as Uie oiiginuior of me phrase, but he wus not aware thut he had ever used it.

When a «„inailiun navy was built lu Canada it s.iuuld be officered mid manned by Canadians. Fur the question of emergency he would raise it tiind to be placed in the yank uf Englund, named tne Uaua- dlan peace fund, to be raised by setting uside a per cent of the custom receipts, amounting to live or more miliums a year. In un emergency it could ue used for the defence or the empire. In the meantime such a fund would remind the world that Canada would be behind the empire in time of trouble, Finally, M>* En'inurson swallowed his pv-*vlo;-> convictions, which lie expressed ut length, und Intimated ilmt he would vote for the bill because he was absolhte- ly opposed to either the contribution proposal of Mr. Itorden-and the "Do Nothing policy c* Mr. Monk.

Opposes Bill After a brief speech In favor of Mr. Borden's proposal by Mr. Lau-i- of Holldi- tnaiid, Major Currle took up tne -luestlon ot "Insurance.' Kor a country wun a large mercantile mnrlne, a navy Is Insnr- unee. Greut llritiun has in steamers of 100 tons and upwards, 17,700,000 tons. She spends on ner navy practically Hit a year per ton of mercantile shipping. Now Canada lias, ueuucting her chips un ine great hikes, iim.ihm tons of steimislilpping In vessels of 100 tons and upwards. On the same basis, her "Insurance" would be 11,000,000 a year. "Now," Major Currle continued, "from a business standpoint it would be good business for us to pay Tor this Insurance in tiie shape of two Dreadnoughts, costing approximately $20,000,000. The life of 11 warship of tills cluss ls a) yeais. That would mean prepaid insurance of $1,000,000 per jear." Such a course, he added, would avert Interfering with our peaceful industrial development. The proposed navy would cost fully •KO.OOO.WO in lirst cost, and *.,- 000,(100 a year, and woyld have to be renewed every 10 yeais, the smaller vessels proposed costing heavily for repairs' and wearing out quickly. Also It would be Impossible to obtain Canadians to man them, At the present time only ono-tifth of tiie Canadian permanent force is Cana- dlun born. Major Currle wont carefully Into the shIpl 1 uildills' aspect uf the case, showing that the building of warships follows tlie upbuilding of a mercantile shipbuilding. Mercantile Marine Ueimany and .lapun begun by encouraging tlie building of mercluiul ships, offering heavy bounties they rapidly built a great merc'uant marine, and the building of greut warships followed.
