Borden's Guests , CALL TO COUNCILS MEN FROM WEST R. L Borden on Reciprocity. Would Destroy Chance of \ Imperial Preference OTTAWA, May 5—R. L. Borden, the leader of the Conservative party entertained to dinner ln Uie parliamentary restaurant this evening Premier McBrlde of British -Columbia, Premier Ha- zen of New Brunswick, Hon. Mr. Bowser of BritiBh Columbia, Hon. Robert Roberts of Manitoba, Conservative members of parliament and several representative Conservatives from the provinces. Over 100 sat down to dinner. Short speeches were made by the four principal guests and Mr. Borden took advantage of the occasion to set forth the attitude of the Conservative party ln regard to.the reciprocity agreement. He said: "Canada today ls confronted with the greatest issue whioh this country has witnessed since 1867. I -will not weary you with a discussion of that question but I ask you to remember that Id 1802 and again In 1007 the government of this country in the imperial confer enoe at London pledged Itself to a policy of preferential trade between the United Knlgdom and the great dominions of the empire and affirmed by resolution tbat such a policy would stimulate mutual commercial interests ami strengthen the empire. Consider the proposed agreement with* the United States to which our government claims to bave pledged the' honor of Canada and tell me whether it does not absolutely destroy any prospect of consummating that policy ot reciprocity within the empire.. "If there is any doubt upon this question let answer 'be given by a very great statesman, the p-j-psldent of the United States. The man who holds that office has probably greater power than the ruler of any civilized country ln the world. 'He combines in himself powers -which under our constitution are vested in the crown and ln the prime minister. His position and the remarkable ability and foresight of President Taft require us to give most profound attention to his view of the effect of our government's action. On Jan. 28 last in his message to congress' he emphasized the statement that Canada is at the parting of the ways. As Mr. Foster has well asked what are the two ways to which the president alludes, One Is the path of closer relations with the great empire whose flag floats over us, and the other Is the path which leads to closer and closer relations with .the United States by means of a trade agreement from which that country excludes the rest of the empire. But Preeldent Taft has heen still more definite in a later utterance. •Speaking in New York on April 27 he observed in 'referring to -Canada: 'The bond uniting the Dominion with the mother country Is light and almost Imperceptible.' The concluding paragraph of the same address is, however, of most pregnant importance and demands most serious consideration from every Canadian who stands for tbe unity of Canada and the integrity of the empire. Listen to the words of the president of the United States: 'I have said that this was a critical time ln the solution of reciprocity. It is critical because unless lt is now decided favorably for reciprocity lt is exceedingly probable that no such opportunity will ever come again to the United States. Forces which are at work ln England and in Canada to separate her by a Chinese wall from the United States and to make her part of an Imperial band reaching from England around the world to England again by a system of preferential tariffs will derive an Impetus from the rejection of this treaty and if we would have' reciprocity.with all the advantages that I bave described' and that I earnestly and Blncerely believe will follow its adoption, we must take it now or give it up for ever.'

VANCOUVER, B. C, May 6.—'There was an exciting scene at the session of the Presbyterian synod this morning when J. W. Farris, speaking for*the Local Option league, said he was ashamed of the attitude of the Presbyterian church with regard to the cause of temperance. He said that in'reports of church work only bare mention was made of the subject and in the Sunday school report no reference whatever was made of the question. Rev. Dr. McRae of Victoria sprang to his feet and declared that Mr. Farris was abusing the hospitality of the Bynod by his remarks. Rev. R. J. WilBon of Vancouver also broke in, saying he drew a strong line between the Local Option league and the local. option movement. Mr. Farris continued after interruptions, defending the league for Its efforts, although he admitted its methods had been criticized, though no more, he Bald, than the work of ministers often was. The duty of ministers and tbe church was to cease petty carping criticism at the head ot the movement and support the league until they proved there was some man better fitted to take up the work. Can Not.Co-operate. At the conclusion of the address Rev. J. Wilson said he personally could not under present conditions co-operate with the Local Option league. General discussion followed and at the close Mr. Farris was given a vote of thanks for his address. Sunday Observance. The chief address this afternoon was by Rev. H. Houstls, representative of the Lord's Day alliance, who reported on the work done in securing the Sabbath for a day of rest for laborers and preventing the Bale of Sunday newspapers.

LOCAL HUNTERS KILL BLACK BEAR Bruin Meets Quietus From 'Four Riflemen Near City Limits—Volley of Shots It took four hunters, armed with a 303 Savage, a 30-30 Winchester and two Browning automatic rifles, together with a dog, to lay low a huge black bear which has been causing much annoyance by stealing the pig feed at the Wright ranch which ls within a short distance of the southern limits of the city. The story reached the city last night. It appears that for some time Mr. Wright found that something which he finally decided must be a member of the bruin family, had got the bad' habit of prowling around his ranch and stealing the food left during the night to he given to his herd of pigs the next morning. And not only did the food disappear but the bucket was usually missing also. On Thursday night a hunting party was collected. It consisted of Wesley Calhlck, Angus Shaw and two others. Each was armed with a powerful high velocity rifle. With the party was a dog. For several dull and dreary hours the band lay In wait beside the pig pen, with fingers on trigger and hammers up. Finally -bruin came along. He came into sight, lumbering along slowly but without much apparent fear ot man or beast, and made for the bucket of pig food. The hunting party lined up ln firing order, awaiting the commands of their leader, Mr. Calbick. At the whispered word "fire" four rifles .banged, the dog took to the tall timber and the hunters retreated to the nearby residence and went to bed. Investigation the next morning found bruin lying on his side with three or four holes plugged through his skin. He was as dead as mutton and a fine specimen of black bear, weighing nearly 600 pounds. / SWEET GRA88 WILL MAKE SHIPMENT /Sppplnl to The Tlally NeWfO NEW DENVER, B.C.;' May. 5—The Sweet Grass lesseees expect to make a shipment this week of high grade ore. having now drifted over W0 feet and encountering some very rich ore, the vein opening up to 12 inches at times. TELLS STORY OF CAMMORRA MURDER Accused Tells How Cuoccolo Was Assassinated—Put Knife In Victim's Hand VITERBO, Italy, May 6—Mariano De- gennaro, who It Is alleged was the first to attack Gennaro Cuoccolo, stabbing bim with a dagger, was given tbe opportunity today to confront Mb accuser, Gennaro Abbatemagglo. As the accuser and accused stood before the judges' bench today Abatemaggio affirmed the part played by Degennaro in the tragedy at Torre del Crecoon on the evening of July 5, 1906. He said In substance: "Degennaro was armed with a dagger and also carried in a pocket a kitchen knife which was Burreptitiously taken from the Cuoccolo home. This knife was later placed In the right hand of the dead man to give the impression to those who might discover the body that Cuoccolo had been stabbed in a duel. When the assassin accompanied by the unsuspecting Cuoccolo reached the spot selected for-.'the murder Degennaro suddenly drew his dagger and stabbed the victim. Cuoccolo attempted to defend himself with a pocket knife and wounded Corrago Bortino on the hand but he was soon overpowered. Nicola Morracho stabbed him and Antonio Corrato struck him over the head with his cane. "When Cuoccolo ceased to breathe Degennaro placed the knife ln his hand while the others took a ring from his finger and a latch key to his apartments.. Degennaro then went to the inn of Mimt A. Mare to report the success of their mission to Enrico Alfano, while the others proceeded to the Cuoccolo home and murdered Maria Cuoccolo." Abbatemagglo's confession has been supported by tbe carbiniers who claimed to have found Cuoccolo's ring at the home of a woman friend of one of the assassins. This ring was to have been .sent'. to Luiglarena, who In his prison cell, had asked for the death of Cuoccolo, saying that Cuoccolo had betrayed him to the authorities. Sortino was found to have a wound on his hand such as described by the Informer but explained this by Baying that he had been scratched by a woman's hat pin and accidentally cut his hand with a pair of scissors. Denies Story Degennaro denied every incident of the story and emphatically protested his innocence of the crime with which he Is charged jointly with other members of the Oammorra. During the exchanges between the Informer and Degennaro, a brother of the latter who was in the audience attempted to interfere end was ejected from the room upon the order of the president. PRAIRIES ARE NOW IN NEED OF RAIN Seeding Has Made Good Progress But Drought Not Favorable to Germination. WINNIPEG, May 5.—There was a deal of gossip In the wheat market today regarding seeding and the need of rain. One big operator declared that a heavy general rain tonight, would break the local market 2 or 3 centB. Seeding has made fine progress all over the country this past week, but on light lands the top soil Ib drying out and conditions are not favorable to germination. In fact rain would do good everywhere and though there Is no cause for anxiety a week more of present conditions would not he beneficial. MOTHER LODE HAS SUBMITTED PLANS (Special to The DnU-y News.)

ANXIOUS REGARDING MONEY SHORTAGE Demand Increasing Faster Than Supply—Solution of Problem Rests - With Banks. WINNIPEG, May 5.—The Commercial, In Its review of the business situation ln the west, will say tomorrow: Fears about a shortage In the supply of money constitute an element of increasing importance in the western commercial situation. It has heen apparent for some months that the. supply of funds would eventually prove Inadequate to meet the ordinary needs of the people, and importations from wealthier sections of the earth have been quickly absorbed. The demand has continued to grow much faster than the supply and it Is only a question, of time when they will be on even terms. The solution of the problem rests, of course, with the banks. They can use government notes to meet the needB of their customers or they can Increase their circulation. The latter would prevent thein from increasing their dividends and they do not relish being Interrupted in their distributions of bounty to shareholders. The fact that the tightness of the market Is due to the general prosperity is well understood and there is no alarm over the outlook. The public realizes that the country has again outgrown Its overalls and that these must bo extended. The general activity is maintained In all branchos of business, and mercantile houses report a very satisfactory state of affairs. Collections continue to improve and there Is a healthier feeling In credit circles. The outlook for the lmmedinte future is bright enough. The stream of Immigration Into the west Is being maintained and as long as it keeps up there is plenty ot optimism. Expansion is the keynote and the whole country derives Inspiration from the encouraging prospects. The crop conditions will soon begin to exert more influence. The present warm weather Is welcomed for the opportunities lt furnishes to tho farmers engaged in seeding operations but unless rain comes soon there will he much uneasiness. "S COMING IN THOUSANDS WINNIPEG, Mny s'-About 1,000 Immigrants arrived hero today and 2,000 more are expected tomorrow. Bill Introduced in the British House of Commons SECOND READING BY LARGE MAJORITY Enfranchises Million Women --Not to Vote in Same Place as Husbands LONDON, May 5.—Another woman's enfranchisement bill was Introduced In the house today by Sir George Kamp, Liberal member for the northwest division of Manchester. The measure confers the right to vote on every woman possessed of household qualifications, hut It is provided that married women shall not be permitted to vote in the same constituency with their husbands. It Is calculated that such legislation would enfranchise 1,000,000 women. Simultaneously with the Introduction of the bill a petition bearing 53,000 signatures, of which 31,000 are those of women, opposing female suffrage was laid on the table. The household qualification haB to do with the required occupancy as owner or tenant of a house or a part of a house in which the landlord or superior tenant does not reside. The bill passed the second reading stage by a vote of 255 to 88 and was referred to a com mlttee of the whole house. This majority Ib greater by 57 votes than that given the second reading of the Shackleton woman's suffrage bill in July.

Walker —New Warehouses WINNIPEG, May 5—Building activity is maintained here and permits are running over $100,000 per day. Warehouse construction is responsible for the big total.

The Winnipeg theatre lias been aold again to C. P. Walker. . MALE TEACHER School Board Makes a New Departure. SEPARATION OF SEXES PROPOSED Children to Make Coronation Gift—Session Fairly Harmonious, If the theories advocated at the special session 'of the school board last night are adopted, the Nelson public school will ere long cease to be coeducational In the higher departments. W. H. M. May, principal of the public school, during a discussion on the need for more male teachere. remarked that after a certain age the sexes should be separated, as it promoted efficiency, and also assisted morals. He added that In the upper classes In the Nelson public school there were enough pupils to Justify such a division. To separate those would be a good stunt," was the form In which William Irvine, chairman of the board, expressed his approbation of the idea. There wbb a general murmur of approval, indicating that the young people have a parting ahead of them. On the matter of infusing more masculinity into the public school staff, there was a general unanimity, R. G. Joy being strong on this feature, while Dr. Annie Verth Jones said, "I agree with you." A. D. Emory, the remaining member of the board present, occupied the stormy seat of secretary, the mantle of Dr. E. C. Arthur falling upon his shoulders and subjecting him to Borne nettling questions from the opposition. One of these was as to whether he had previously opened the applications he was then purporting to open. The board decided to Increase the masculinity of the public school stuff by 50 per cent, and Principal May and Mr. Hoadley will be joined by Albert Cullen, who arrived on Saturday from England. It will be necessary for the board to apply to the department of education for a permit for Mr. Cullen, as he has no British Columbia certificate as yet. This was arranged for. Mr. Cullen will have the 20 new pupils whose parents have applied for their admission, and will also receive 15 pupils from Miss Lily Smith, the primary teacher, aud his department, No. XIV., will be the assistant primary department. At 3 o'clock each afternoon Mr. Cullen will dismiss his little charges, and will devote an hour to giving instruction In physical drill to the various departments of the public school. The engagement Is for two months and, Mr. Cullen not being a certificated teacher at the time of his engagement, the board figures on escaping payment of July salary, which it could not do in the case of a certificated teacher. Mr. Cullen will receive a salary of $70 a month, One Other Applicant. The other applicant for the position of assistant primary teacher was Miss Beulah Wade of Nelson, who has a certificate. Chairman Irvine expressed sorrow nt the necessity of refusing Miss Wade, as he would have liked to see a pupil of the Nelson schools get a chance. He, however, fell in line for masculinity. Mr, Cullen's appointment was effected and his duties defined in a series of resolutions, all submitted hy Messrs. Emory dnd Joy, Dr. Jones refraining from voting, though a strong partisan of masculinity. Her ground was that she has not met the proposed appointee. She had a hand In the matter, however, to the extent of recommending that both teacher and little pupils be medically Inspected. Dr. Jones pointed out, Incidentally, that Dr. Alex. Robinson, superintendent of education, habitually refuses to grant permits except when convinced that the trustees have been able to find no certificated teacher. The reply made to her was tl«.t Dr. Robinson was now in England. In answer to Dr. JoneB, Mr. Joy waa not able to say positively when Mr. Cullen had arrived in Nelson for the first time, but he judged, from casual fContinued on Page Four.)

At last meeting of Vancouver Typographical union It was decided to send two delegates to the San Francisco convention of the International union ln August W. R. Trotter and Secretary H. Neelands look like the winners, hut there are several other nominees. An executive meeting ot the BritiBh Columbia Provincial Federation of Labor ls being, arranged for by President Watters for some' time in June. Vancouver will likely be the place of meeting. Calgary unionists; are busy preparing for the reception and entertainment of the September convention of the Trades and Labor congresB of Canada. An excursion to the National park at Banff ls one of the items of the programe. Ontario members of the Typographical union are discussing the advisability of organizing a provincial council for the better conservation and protection of their craft The local union recently organized at Fort George, B. C, has applied to the secretary of the British Columbia Federation of Labor for a charter application blank of the American Federation of Labor. ThlB has been forwarded and it Is expected that a Federal, the first in that section of northern British Columbia, will be the result. The provincial officers also declare that affiliation with the British Columbia Federation of Labor will be applied for as Boon as the charter Ib received from headquarters at Washington. Secretary H. Hancock writes: "We feel that now ls our time to do something for the working man.

The cost of living, of course, more than offsets what may look like high wages. It takes at least %'L a day to live. There are plenty of men available for the jobs; in fact the shortage of lumber and materials has already caused a surplus.ln the labor market. The camp ls too young yet for Job-seekers to come ln. The number of men looking for jobs has already caused some of the employers to attempt to cut wages down." Vancouver Bakers union has submitted a new schedule, effective May 1st, to the employing bakers. It calls for but a slight Increase in wages, but an eight hour day ls demanded, along with cleaner and more sanitary workrooms. The agreement was sanctioned by last meeting of the central,labor body. The state of Washington, at Its last session In Olympla, through the efforts of the state Federation of Labor, enacted one of the best worklngmen's compensation acts in the world. It goes Into effect on Oct. 1. An eight-hour day for women law in the same state also becomes effective on June 10. Ontario unionists are taking preliminary steps towards the organization of a Provincial Federation of Labor, chartered by the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada. Phi] Obermeyer, in the Hamilton Herald, thinks it strange that British Columbia unionists should be urging tbe American Federation- of Labor executive to send Organizer John A. Fleet back to this territory, And this because before his recent visits here some of the things said about Organizer Fleet were uncomplimentary. Nothing strange about it. Organizer Fleet's politics are not the dominant politics of western Canada unionists. Hence an occasional slamming. But certainly there could be no fault to find with Mr. Flett'B organizing ability. While in Vancouver he made good. And as the result of his having got a number of unions Into line Industrially there are today about, that many more socialists. The first aim of every organizer of wage-workers must be to get men toner. Once this is accomplished mental fermentation sets In and the rest jasy. Friend Obermeyer or any other unionist will find that the so- calfst-unlonists of western Canada always stand ready to give credit where credit is due. To the charge tha.t John A. Fleet hus been asked to return to British Columbia we plead guilty, and as John Sully would Bay, "we have no apologies to offer." A local International Journeymen's union has heen organized at Berlin, Ont. The recently-enacted workmen's compensation act In the state of California haB become law. Under Its provisions the old chestnut about "assumed risk" and "contributory negligence" have heen eliminated.' An accident board has been created, and a lot of the red tape so conspicuous in similar legislation. In western Canada is also cut out. The California state Federation of Labor drafted the measure and are largely responsible for Its passage In the present form. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, puts lt this way: "Instead of the enormous expenditure for arsenals and armories, battleships and navy yards, we should have the money Invested In schoolrooms colleges and universities;, to university extension, manual training and technology; to make parks and playgrounds; air spaces, breathing spaces; to weed out misery and poverty, and steam out the ill-begotten child of capitalism—the great white plague—which Is ravaging so many of the masses, of our people. We should have our people taught the arts and sciences, to be of service, to teach them love and good will, the love of the good, the true, tbe beautiful and the useful" Revelstoke Trades and Labor council ls endeavoring to make It possible | to send two delegate! to tbe Calgary convention of the Trades and Labor congresB of Canada ln September. Sec- retry Phil Parker reports too much apathy for the good of Revelstoke wage-workers on the part of its central labor' body delegates, but looks hopefully forward to a change for the better during the coming year. The railway center is developing rapidly industrially and as the army of wage- workers grows so the necessity for organization. And necessity alone compels the! workers to do the right thing. J. V. Johnston, secretary of Winnipeg Trades and Labor council, writing on the subject of immigration into western Canada, concludes: "The path of the emigrant is strewn with lies and false promises and the bandage on his eyes is tied very tight. The sooner we can loosen It the better for all of us." As a reBult of the April 4th elections In the state of Colorado 13 women hnve broken Into tbe political arena ln various municipalities. A bunch of Montreal street railway employees bave paid the price of manifesting a little evidence of manhood.

News of Sport Daily News Want Ads Get Results IS AFTER LOCAL SPEED RECORDS Henry Fesser Will Build Speedy Light Racing Launch—Many Other New Boats, Henry Fesser of the Hudson's Bay company Is proposing to bust all previous gasoline launch speed records on the West Arm and with that ambitiouB object in view has given K. Henry instructions to build a new 24-footer, equipped with a three-cylinder Barbour engine. The boat ls to be constructed as light as possible and will be purely for racing purposes. Mr. Henry has under construction a big 18 horse-power cruiser and passenger boat which he expects to have in I the water within the next 14 days. It Is for W. Elford, who will use it for the run between Nelson and Proctor. The craft will be fitted up after the style of a modern touring automobile, with auto top and other fixtures. It Is 28 feet long and has a beam of 5 feet 6 Inches and will make an estimated speed of 16 miles per hour. ■Mr. Henry has two men at work putting the finishing touches on the boathouse which he is building for J. C. Westhead, who is at present in the Old Country. Another launch which Is practically completed in Mr. Henry's workshop is a 22-footer, fitted with a four horsepower Barbour engine, which is expected to make at least nine miles per hour, for Colonel Kembull, who^has just returned from a trip to the Old Country. Shaw'8 "Hummer" Nearly Completed. M. F. Shaw's new launch, which he proposes to name "The Hummer," Is also lying In Mr. Henry's shops nearly ready to be put into commission. It ls a 23-footer with a three-cylinder Bar- hour engine of from six to eight horsepower and will make about 12 miles per hour. Thomas Cunningham is at present completing a new 27-foot launch with a two-cylinder 14 horse-power Gray engine, for J. A. Gibson, while George Hale has just launched a nine horsepower Roberts engine boat for W. E. Wasson. Mr. Hale has also recently put T. A. Mills' new boat of the Atlantic dorey type Into commission. This craft is built to withstand the heaviest seas that are encountered in inland waters and is equipped with a Wolverine engine. It makes about seven and a half miles an hour. It has a six- foot beam and is 22 feet in length. Pete Nelson has just installed a new Campbell five-cycle five horse-power engine in his launch. This engine is a very silent runner and is of the open type construction. It.gives him an additional speed of two miles an hour over that which the boat formerly made. "The activity on the waterfront this year is remarkable," said a well-known boat builder yesterday. "Four years ago I do not suppose there were more than 20 launches here, while now there must be fully 100. The waterfront Is practically a little floating town and for activity, prosperity nnd the number of boats In use beats any city of this size that I have ever visited on this side of the line or in the American northwest states."

FOSTER Manager SATURDAY, MAY 6 NOW AS IT SHOULD BE. On Monday the board of conciliation which is investigating the differences between the coal miners of the Crows Nest Pass and southern Alberta nnd the mine owners will open its sessions at Fernie and thereafter the public will begin to know something of what is going on, for the sessions thereafter will be public. Just why they have not been bo up to the present would be hard to Imagine. The Inquiry concerns a matter of vast public Interest. As a result of differences of opinion between the miners and the mine owners regarding wages and other matters there has been a cessation of work which has now lasted well over a month. The result has been a heavy loss to both parties to the dispute, while the country generally has -suffered and will suffer still more if the struggle Is prolonged. The whole matter is now being Inquired into and it Is only fair that the public generally should be fully Informed as to the grounds upon which each side rests 'its case. With the closed court, such as has prevailed In the Inquiry up to today, this waB practically impossible. The credit for forcing'' an open investigation rests with the miners. The men of the Crows Nest district refused to appear or give evidence before ihe commission unless the sittings were held ln public. In this they were asking only a fair and open trial of their case such as is accorded In any court of the land—and this conciliation board is to all Intents and purposes a court. If the men had any doubt ot the Justice of their case they would not have insisted upon an open hearing. They would have only been too gtad to have the matter passed over ln the lightest possible manner. On the other hand it Is Impossible to see how an open hear- lng can in any way prejudice the position of the mine owners if their stand is a fair and right one. With an open hearing both sides will be able to present their case and tbe public, sb well as the board of conciliation, will be able to -Judge between them. The result of an inquiry held In this way and In which the fullest possible Bcope is afforded both .parties to bring forward all the evidence they may have to offer should prove satisfactory and should be the means of providing a settlement that will be fair to all concerned.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier acquiesces in this appreciation of the results of the secret trade agreement which two of his ministers have negotiated. President Taft ls a statesman of remarkable ability and profound insight His words have a tremendous significance for Canadians. He affirms with great earnestness that the agreement should be accepted by the United States for thereason that It will prevent the consolidation of the British empire. "He strongly urges that this, agreement Is to the interest of the United States because It will prevent the creation of a system of mutual trade preferences -within tbe empire. He emphatically declares that this is the last opportunity for the United States to consummate a trade agreement with Canada, iwhlch will destroy that policy of inter-iraperlal preference to which Sir Wilfrid Laurier pledged himself ln the colonial conference of 1902 and the Imperial conference of 1907. No more remarkable statement respecting the relations of the mother country and the self governing dominions of this empire was ever uttered by any statesman of .Mr. Taft's position. May Wall rjealtfa Sir Wilfrid Laurier might well hesitate about attending the approaching conference. Will he go to that conference and reaffirm the policy of mutual trade preference with the empire while at Uie same moment he is attempt- dug to drive -through -parliament an agreement which absolutely destroys the possibility of any such policy. Mr. Taft's utterance ie no declamation. Its most serious feature is its profound truth. And the most serious and dangerous aspect of the present situation Is the apparent determination of the government to drive such an agreement through parliament by force of their numerical majority, and to deny the people of Canada any voice upon this, the greatest question that has arisen since Confederation; For this government has no mandate and we shall firm- Malcolm & Butchart Vernon St. General hlacksmlthing, wheelwright lng and expert horseshoeing.

Call Men From West 'But although our government seems insensible of the dangers of the situation which they And created, we bave every.-, reason to believe tbat the country is aroused and .that public opinion Is greatly disturbed throughout the Dominion. Many prominent supporters of the Liberal party have refused to accept the agreement with Washington. These men realize that the government has abandoned the steadfast policy of the past century, that lt is beset by Internal quarrels, that it Is no longer able ,to arouse the enthusiasm of Its followers In the country or to unite Us supporters In parliament. The Conservative party must remember that under these new conditions lt is confronted with great obligations. It must prepare itself to resume power and it must give evidence to the people that it is ready to assume and to discharge with dignity, with honor and with ability the responsibilities which soon will be placed upon it. Let me say that one great principle and policy should be in every mind. The west end east of Canada must not be separated by any apparent divergence of interest, or by any unfortunate divergence of sentiment. Let us alter hut one word ln a well known line and say 'Oh east ls east and west Is west, but never twain shall part.' Let us not fall to recognize that henceforth western Canada must have more and more influence end a greater voice In parliament and in the cabinet than it has heretofore. Strong as Is the Con-; servatlve party in. the ihouBe of commons at the present time it must call to its councils other strong men from the I west and require them at no distant day to enter the federal arena. These men knowing thoroughly the aspirations and needs of western Canada -will give adequate expression to its views ln parliament and assure its full influence in future Conservative governments. Wllf Reassert Influence "I will not touch upon conditions In eastern Canada further than to say this: From the province of Quebec tbe Conservative party has but a small representation in the house of commons. Remember, however, that 150,000 votes were cast for Liberal-Conservative can' didates In the last general election. There is ample evidence that the old traditions of the Conservative party will reassert their Influence ln that province. Our party stands today for the same principles -with which the Conservatives of Quebec have been associated even before their federation was constituted. The issue forced upon the country by the mischievous trade compact at Washington will arouse again the enthusiasm and.determination of Quebec and assure once more the adequate representation of our party from that province. We expect also in the next parliament of Canada a worthy representation of those who for many years past have been associated with the Liberal party in this country, hut who cannot support the leaders of that party In the Issue which has been bo unfortunately forced upon the country. Not only ln the cities of Canada but in the rural districts aa well there are thousands of Liberals in whose minds this agreement means disaster to the country and who will unite with Conservatives and will aid in releasing this country' at the next election from the despotism which oppresses it today. - MALE TEACHER FOR PRIMARY conversation, that he arrived last Saturday.

BURGLARY EPIDEMIC ;■■ AT REVELSTOKE Attempt to Hold up Hotel 'But—Shot Through Lung While Gopher Hunting (Special to The Dally News.) RBVEL-STOKE, B.C., May 5—ThlB city during the past few days has been experiencing an epidemic of burglaries, probably ^perpetrated by the riff-raff which at this season of the year Is constantly flowing between Calgary and the coast cities and stop off here to break their journey. -Two places of business were broken Into this week and attempts were made to enter two of the other places, but without success. In every case the work was evidently that of clumsy amateurs and nothing of any great value was secured. The store of Alex HobBon, grocer, was entered on Monday night but nothing except a few eatables were taken and that, night a gang of 18 hoboes were rounded up near the track west of the city. None of these, however, could be proven to have committed tbe crime. Yesterday the rearculprlt was caught and sentenced by Magistrate Hamilton to five months In Kamloops -kill. On Wednesday night tbe butcher shop of Charles F. Lindmark was entered and a watch, a bicycle, a revolver and $2 tn stamps taken. Entrance was gained through a side window whioh i broken open and the -door between the back shop and the office was sawed away sufficiently to allow the culprit to remove the lock. The same night an unsuccessful attempt was made to enter C. A. Macdonald's barber shop. /The police are on the track of the culprits and fully expect to land them in a few days. Attempt to Hold up Bus An attempt was made on Sunday night last to hold up .the driver of the Central hotel bus. While on his way to the station the driver was confronted by four men, one of whom pointed a revolver at him and ordered him to stop the rig. The rush of the men to the horses' heads, however, set them ln a panic and they made their getaway before any harm was done. No shots were fired. Shot Through Lung While out gopher hunting on Sunday with a number of companions Daniel McGtnnis was accidentally shot through the left lung and his condition ln the hospital at that place is considered very serious. The Bteamer Revelstoke will begin her regular sailings up the Columbia on Saturday of this week. Capt Forslund will be in charge.' A party ot timber cruisers and surveyors will go up on the first boat to cruise timber and survey land, while tbe €.P.R. survey parties are expected to arrive shortly to complete the surveys around the Big Bend commenced last year. A pretty wedding took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. J, Lorsch, when B. S. .Butler and Miss Maude Robinson were united ln marriage by Rev. J. W. Stevenson.; The young couple will live.here after a honeymoon of a couple of months ln the east. KOOTENAY—T. Riley, J. Panke, Vancouver; A. Johnson. Grand Forks; A. McNeil, N. Peterson, Spokane; W.

CRANBROOK, B.C., May G—Following the report of a few days ago to the effect that the work of reclaiming the Kootenay flats was actually going on conies word today from the scene of operations that great activity prevails at the Bend. At present Mr. Reeder and associates have three survey parties on the works. It ls the intention this time to reclaim 5,000 acres of bot tom lands -which commence three miles below Bonner's Ferry and extend to a point 1 mile north of the town. It ls estimated that the cost of reclaiming this land will be be $11 per acre. The work now undertaken consists of cutting off the lower channels and ditching at the lowest points for drainage. Mr. Reeder, the Spokane real estate man who is at the head of this undertaking is a large land owner in the district affected by the overflow of the Kootenay river. He also owns considerable property near Creston. It is intimated that.the authorities of the state of Idaho and the British Columbia government are now negotiating lor the reclamation of the balance of the Kootenay flats and in this important matter they will likely be governed by the success of the present undertaking. SEAL OF ^ALBERTA—the Faultless Flour—makes bread that is perfectly even in quality. Sometimes you have noticed bread where one loaf was markedly different from another even in the same pan. Conditions were exactly the same. It was made from the same flour. It seemed to you that there could not possibly be any difference, and yet it was plain to be seen. Now all this comes from a difference in the milling, but SEAL OF tALBERTA is milled in such a way that there is absolute uniformity throughout the whole product of our mammoth mills from one year's end to the other. That is, it is a dependable flour. It can be trusted to do its part—Therefore, be sure you ask for SEAL OF tALBERTA. There is no other quite so good. A. G. LAMBERT & CO.
