The present legislature has already existed longer than its predecessor, and there are now 10 vacant seats.

There are several very important resolutions for our consideration, questions of vital Importance to the province." "Owing to Che length of time necessary for the preparation of the' voters' lists in unorganized districts, the polling cannot take place earlier than the first or second week in December and the issuing of writs will be held over until the Jast day possible in order to facilitate the revision of the voters' lists in older Ontario."

Before Powers Act Italy's Sway Must Be Complete ROME, Oct 11.—There ls a feeling in official circles that Turkey and her sympathizers are doing everything possible to engender opposition among the powers to Italy's plans and it ls believed that certain reports which have been circulated aim chiefly to play on Anglo-German antagonism. With this object It is supposed the report has been spread broadcast that Germany, having planned to obtain Obruk trom Turkey prior to tho beginning of hostilities,- will end by obtaining this Important stragetlc point from Italy aa a base for operations in the Mediterranean against British supremacy. It is pointed out by Italian officials that Germany never has taken any steps tn such a direction in the past and has no Intention to ask anything from Italy in the future while it Is also declared that Italy1 would not dream of being a catspaw to draw chestnuts from the fire for Germany. Jn connection with this denial it is stated that the entire situation remains unchanged and the1 powers have to intention of intervening until Italian dominion In Tripoli is Indisputable. .It Ib too late now for the .Turks to recapture the place, as the first section of the troops of the expedition have landed. AH the wireless messages received by the government convey the information that the transports' and escort of warships are proceeding satisfactory. While the Turkish embassy denies the existence of slavery In Tripoli for the reason that the Ottoman empire was a signatory to the antl- slavery convention at Brussels. Italian officials declare that the fact remains that Tripoli up to two weeks ago was the only outlet of the great slave market ot central Africa. Slavery, they point out,, always in Africa had its seat, as it was, allowed by the koran and approved by usage. Its worst feature in Tripoli wag that for each slave who arrived alive at the Mediterranean coast 10 had died while crossing the desert. , Italy, Great Britain and France, wishing to stop the flow of slaves through Tripoli, instructed their consuls to make strong representations against tbe Illegal trade and the laxity of the Ottoman officials, but, according to the official documents, It continued. ■• INT MINERAL TAX ABOLISHED Income Tax Exemption Should Be Raised SUGGEST CHANGES IN SCHOOL ACT Poll Tax Not Properly Collected Commission is Told From tbe expression of opinion at a full days session of the provincial government royal commission on taxation yesterday it appears that the sentiment in this district Ib largely in favor of the retention of the poll tax though tbe witnesses were practically unanimous tn declaring that the present system of collection was inadequate. The majority of the witnesses agreed that the higher coat of living made the raising of the aum exempt from income tax from $1,000 to $1,500 desirabl© and strong arguments were made In favor of reducing, abolishing or modifying the 2 per cent tax on mines. Merchants in the, city suggested that the' personal property tax should be collected only upon stock which had been paid for. The commissioners are Hon. Price Ellison, chairman, E. A. McPhillipfe, K.C., C. H. Lugrin and W. H. Malkln. School and Council Question Added Interest was given to the sessions by tbe appearance of the mayor on behalf of the city and of Dr. B. C. Arthur on behalf of the school board. The mayor contended that some sections of the school act were loosely worded and that the act should be changed so that, the school trustees should be allowed a definite levy and b'e compelled to keep within that levy. He thought that the school board should be placed in the same position aa the council and made absolutely responsible foe Its expenditures. Dr. Arthur declared that to limit the amount of the levy would be, under certain conditions, to inflict a serious hardship oh the schools. -He thought that the school hoard should be placed in a clear position to levy any amount it desired, being responsible only to the electors. The mayor touched upon the difficulty which had arisen in Nelson over the wording of section 40 of the school act and said that the clauses which Bay that '■ the city may augment the levy of five mills out of general revenue bad evidently been placed there because it had been found that the five mills was not, in all cases enough for school purposes. .He pointed out that the cost of education had-Increased at a tremendous rate and gave some comparative figures showing the cost In Nelson and in other cities of the aame class. Nelson heading the list with a per capita cost of over $40 and North Vancouver showing the lowest per capita expenditure of about $27. For the first six months of this year he said, the coat' had been $54 per head. In the present year's estimates the trustees had asked for $30,000 which would mean about $10,000 out of general revenue, in addition to the five mills tax and the grant from the government, This was a direct tax on the city. He suggested that the school trustees be given a definite levy and be compelled to keep within that levy. As It was the school board had no financial responsibility. There should be a limit to the cost of the schools. Objects to Limited Levy Dr. Arthur said that he thought some changes were necessary In the act but said that a hardship might be inflicted on the schools if the levy were limited as suggested by the mayor. The hoard was elected by the people and he believed that It should have a.free hand but should be responsible for its own expenditures. He thought something should be done about portions of the school district outside the city limits upon which at present nothing above five mills could be levied with the result that the city had to bear, out of general revenue, the cost ahove five mills of the education of the children In the outside districts. 'Asked why the per capita coat in Nelson was higher than for any other second class school In the province, Dr. Arthur replied "It Is because we have better schools." Another reason for the marked Increase thiB year was that last year the board had been compelled to exceed Its estimates and an endeavor bad been made this year to provide for such a contingency.. The establishment of the manual training and domestic science departments had also to be taken into consideration. Dr. Arthur, in, connection with the new provincial university suggested that a small university tax should be.levied Board of Trade Views E. K. Beeston for tbe hoard of trade said that it was felt that the method of collection, of the poll tax was imperfect inasmuch1 ail the majority of those VANCOUVER, B. C, Oct. 11. • —Vancouver's new examining • warehouse will be commenced • by tbe federal government at • once. It will cost $.130,000 and • will adjoin the $500,000 post- • office overlooking the harbor. • from whom It was collected were persons who bore the burden of other taxation and not against tbe transients for whom it was intended. He thought the tax should be collected by a regular paid official. With regard to the mineral tax Mr. Beeston Bald that the board considered that it affected adversely the mine owners least able to pay it, those operating low grade properties. He suggested that the tax be removed for a period of years. The board also thought, said Mr. Beeston, that the tax on unworked crown granted mineral claims should ■ be the same as that on wild lands. The tax on personal property, the board thought, said Mr. BeeBton, that in so far as collected in the municipalities it should be paid to the cities and not to the government, Fred A. Starkey, another member of the board of trade committee, Bald that he thought that the question of the price of coal and its hearing on the prosperity of -the mines of the country should be enquired into when considering the removal of the two per cent tax. If the price of fuel could be reduced, he said, it would mean that the smelters could treat tbe ore more cheaply with the result that the mine owners would obtain more sat isfactory returns, A great impetus would be given to tbe metalliferous mining industry, he thought, if the smelter rates could be reduced by means of cheaper fuel. He aaked why should the Great Northern railway and the C.P.R. be able to buy coal more cheaply than the public. Mr. Starkey thought that the exemption from income tax Bhould be increased to $1,500 and that the assessments on wild land shofild be equalized. Assessments on wild land should be ma]de on the ground and sufficient deputy collectors should be appointed to provide for this, said J. E. Annable, who said that under present conditions It was impossible for the assessor to visit the various properties. He also thought that the aasasament roll when completed should be posted In some prominent place or mailed to all property owners so that comparisons as to the rates could be made. . C. R, Hamilton, K.C., Bald that it must be patent to everyone that the mining industry which had struggled for so long needed some relief and said that he thought it should be one of the first Industries In the province to be benefitted by any surplus. The bad feature of tbe two per cent tax was that the burden was heaviest on the owner of a low grade property. He would like to see the temporary abolition of the tax. He thught that the cost of living justified the raising of the Income tax exemption to $1,500. Never Paid Poll Tax J. C. HarrlB of New Denver opposed the two per cent tax and said he had never paid the poll tax since he came to the province In 1896. J. E. Edmond- son of Creston produced figures to show that the taxation ot land in bis district was unequal and made a strong plea to the board for equalization of the assessment. He asked that an assessor be established at Creston and that the assessment roll should be displayed in a prominent place. •Tames Johnstone said that he believed the poll tax was one of the best and most Just methods of taxation but suggested that Its collection be more thoroughly carried out. He argued that only dividend paying mines should pay the two per cent tax and thought that the Income tux exemption should be raised. A. H. Tuttle of Ymlr w In favor of the abolition of the two per cent tax. IT. Young of Creston aBked for the equalization of assessments and the assessment of real property at its market value. The Creston hoard of trade, which he represented, believed that those who paid other taxes should not be asked to pay the poll tax. E. W. Widdowson. made a strong plea for the abolition of. the two per cent tax arid H. Amas asgued that the personal property tax should not be levied on stock In trade which varied from time to time. He pointed out that butchers, coa] merchants and many others paid practically no personal property tax because they did not carry targe stocks. He thought, In any case that a merchant's liabilities on stock ahould be deducted when the assessment was made. J. A. Irving agreed with Mr. Amas and said that he believed there might be a more systematic method of assessing the tax. W. A. Jowett argued that improvements should not be taxed.

Hon. Mr. Burrell, with Hon. Price Ellison, Harry Wright, M. P. P., J. E. Annable and J. A. Irving, was escorted from his hotel to the hall by the city band: which discoursed music at intervals during the course of the meeting. The meeting was enthusiastic, and the an dience generous In its applause to the different speakers. The remarks of the early speakers were of a complimentary nature, first to Hon. Mr, Borden on his wisdom in making the selection of Hon. Martin Burrell as his minister of agriculture, and secondly to Hon. Mr. Burrell as the selection of the leader of the Conservative party. The program was interspersed with vocal solos from Miss Nellie Annable, IT. Treby-Heale, and C. G. Broadwood, all of whom were greeted with appreciative applause. The chairman, J. A. Irving, In opening the meeting, told Its object, which was to give a welcome to the member for Yale-Cariboo, who had been chosen by the Conservative leader to 'ook er the affairs of the agricultural department of the whole of Canada. Mr. Annable, as president of the Kootenay District Conservative sociation, extended his congratulations to the Hon. Mr. Burrell on his elevation to theimportant position to which he had been appointed, and he thought he was safe in coupling with his own congratulations those of every elector In the district. He was sure that the new minister of agriculture would look carefully after the interests of the Kootenayg as well as those of his own constituency and the whole Dominion. Mr. Goodeve Wires Congratulations. He read two telegrams, one from Mr, Goodeve, Ivno was unable to be present at the reception, and one from the Greenwood Conservatives. Tliey were as follows: From Mr. Goodeve: "Regret unable to be present. Please convey to Hon. Martin Burrell my heartiest congratulations on his appointment to the cabinet. He will do honor to our province." From the Greenwood Conservatives: "We, the Conservatives of the Greenwood riding, tender our heartiest congratulations and wish you every happiness and success," Hon, Price Ellison. Hon. Price Ellison, minister of finance and agriculture for the province, was the next speaker. He welcomed Hon. Martin Burrell to a similar min Istry to his own, only on a wider plane, nnd was glad that Mr. Borden had seen fit to bestow this honor on the member from Yale-Cariboo. British Columbia had not loomed up in agricultural n tera to such an extent as the prairie provinces had, but his visit throng the Kootenay while on his present tit with the tax commission, of which he was chairman, had opened his eyes to the wonderful possibilities of the conn' try. He thanked the electors in the audience and In the Kootenay lor the part they had taken in saving t hi« great Dominion to their children and their children's children by their votes on September 21. Mr. Tnft has said that the bitter fight just passed was Canada's parting of the ways, hut he was glad to see .that tbe ways had not parted, and that the spirit of Imperialism which was so deeply instilled into the heart of every good Canadian had held them loyal to the mother country that had done so much for them and helped to make* their country what it was. Harry Wright, M. P. P., reiterated Hon. Price Ellison's complimentary remarks to II. L. Borden on his selection of a minister of agriculture and to Hon. Mr. Burrell on liia elevation to the cabinet. He knew tliat In the new minister the Kootenay valley had a friend who would guard Its interests lust aa keenly as he would those of his own constituency and the whole Dominion. He had really expected to see the appointment fall to a member from Ontario or the-prairie provinces, but was proud to know that his province had been selected for the honor. He confiratu- lated Hon, Mr. Burrell warmly on " magnificent majority and stated that was one of the proudest moments of his life to welcome to tthe city one of the ad- isors of the loader of the Conservative government The New Minister. Hon. Mr. Burrell waB greeted with storm of applause as he arose after his Introduction by the chairman. He expressed his appreciation of the kind things that had been said about him by the former sneakers, und assured his audience that he would put forth every effort to perform faithfully the duties that would fall upon htm as minister of agriculture. In the fight just passed the country had seen the captain of a great political party lose his lieutenants and have his following destroyed, and in connection with this, having In The election just passed had been one of the most critical times In the history of the country, and by Liberals and the Conservatives, who clung to the traditions for which the party had always stood, the world had been shown that Canada was for the Canadalans and that It would be controlled by them. The victory was due to the feeling of imperialism that swept over the country, and the Canadian people were rejoicing in heartfelt thankfullness that they had this portion of the empire still in their control, Points a Moral. On the eve of his elevation to cabinet honors the speaker had some saddening thoughts. There were some of the fallen members who had sat In the house during several past sessions in whose defeat he felt a personal loss. They were Ft. S, Lake of Qu 'Appelle, and Charles Magrath of Lethbridge. Both were men who were entitled to every honor that could be done them and they owed their defeat to a phase of the election that pointed a moral. They had been defeated by a vote that had come from across the sea and from across the border; a vote of men who had none of that feeling of imperialism that was Instilled so deep in the hearts of true Canadians; a vote of men who, as perhaps wns only to be expected, without that enthusiasm for a perpetuation of British institutions that was so strong in British Columbia. He felt that It was the bounden duty of every Canadian to mould these newcomers into the political traditions that Canada has shown such a determination to perpetuate. Tiie speaker paid a high tribute to the new premier who had seen Canada through \thls great fight. Mr. Borden had many difficulties In his 11 years of opposition, ana in those 11 years he had been often criticised, not only by the party in power, but by his own following. He did not think Uiere had ever been a leader who hart not been criticised, and he remembered the words of Hon. John Hag- gart, who sold that the biggest grumblers made the best soldiers. He thought that Mr. Borden's 11 years of opposition should make him one of the greatest political soldiers Cumuhi hud ever had at its head. In all tUe leader's career there had never been a question ns to his high ideals and absolute Integrity of purpose. Mr. Borden had always held before him that great English word "duty," and If ever there was a man who thought first, last and all the time of his country It was the Hon. Robert Laird Borden. What the new premier had been fighting for was tiie elevation of the highest ideals or Canadian life, and In tills connection the speaker referred to what he termed the greatest thing tiie Liberal administration had ever done, and which had heen the suggestion of Mr. .Borden, the reform of tiie civil service. Up to tiie present, however, this reform applied only to those employed In the government offices at Ottawa and not to employees throughout the country, tt was one of the great platform planks of tbe new premier to put all civil service appointments away from the control of politicians, and let promotion be gained through absolute merit. He was sure that Mr. Borden would continue his pollcv until It applied to every position within the gift of the government. Hon. M'i Btijroll leavcB for Ottawa this morning.

"(Signed) RICHARD M'BRIDE" To this bis excellency made the following graceful acknowledgement: "Am much touched by your kind message; as you know your beautiful province has a warm place in my heart. "(Signed) GREY." (Special to The Daily News.) VANCOUVER, B. C, Oct. 11.—Acting on his own behalf and without the authorization or approval of the Mine Operators association, C. P. Hill, former president and general manager of the Hillcrest collieries at HIUcreBt, Altn., has appealed to tbe Dominion government to intervene with the object of securing an early settlement of the coal miners' strike in the Crow's Nest and southern Alberta. Mr. Hill, who now resides In Montreal, and who is still a shareholder in the company he organized, is here. He sent a private dispatch last night to Premier Borden at Ottawa stating that one week of personal observation had convinced him that the conditions hi the Crow's Nest district resulting from the strike were simply appalling. Mr. Hill pointed out that a continuance of the strike with winter approaching would involve serious hardships and suffefing to hundreds ot thousands of people in eastern British Columbia and the prairie provinces. The hope was also expressed that the new minister of labor would find some means of affecting a speedy settlement of the dispute and if possible lit duce the strikers to return to work with a guarantee that their grievances, if any, would, be investigated and remedied.

SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 11.—Nearly 20,000 Industrial Workers of tho World and other workmen affiliated with them, are scheduled to quit work tomorrow. The cessation of work is Intended as a protest against the methods practiced iu the arrest and extradition or the McNamara hoys, according to local officers of the order. Forest Monardts Saved From Fire Outbreaks With an immense saving of cost to the province and with a loss of timber which Is almost negligible compared with former years, the system of protection of forests from fire Inaugurated in this district Inst spring by the provincial government under the supervision of W. H. McGregor, chief supervisor of fire wardens in this division has proved an unqualified success from a conservation standpoint. No lives were lost during the year and the only serious fire In the immense territory in which the system wns organized by Mr. McGregor, which extends to the International boundary line on the south, to the Alberta line on the east, to Laggan on the north, to Ashcroft on the northwest and through the Nicola valley on the west, was at Seymour Arm, where an outbreak necessitated a considerable amount of work before it was controlled. There was one fire on the West Arm at 9-Mile point which destroyed some farm building but the damage to timber tn this case was small. It Is estimated, though all the fig- •lroa rave not yet been compiled, that the total cost of fire protection and fire fighting which the government will be called upon to hear In Mr. McGregor's district for tbe past season will be very much less than 'he total Bum laBt year expended in the Nelson district alone .when fires cost about $60,000. Mr. McGregor came to British Columbia from Ontario where he was regarded as, one of the most efficient officials in the forestry department of the provincial government by special arrangement between Hon. W. R. Ross minister of lands for this province, and Hon. Frank Cochrane of the On* tario government and during the past summer devoted his efforts to the organization of an efficient fire fighting and fire prevention service on the lines of that which has proved eminently successful In tbe eastern province. That It is infinitely better from an economical and public standpoint to prevent the outbreak of fires than to spend money In fighting them after they have commenced to destroy the timber wealth of the province is ono of tho cardinal principles of tbe de- (Cohtlmied on Page Five.) \ CDe Mniiv Setca, THURSDAY OCTOBER 12 C.

FORWARD MOVEMENT MEETING. W. C. Senior, of Toronto, and H. G. Estabrook of Vancouver, who ad- dresed the Missionary Forward Movement meeting in the Baptist church Monday evening, left on the morning train for Robson, where they address- ed a similar gathering. Miss Robinson of Akedu, India, addressed a meeting of juniors yesterday morning, and a well attended .meeting under the auspices of the Ladies Circle in the afternoon. She left for Robson oh the evening train, to join the others on their tour of the coast, where they take part in the great International Missionary convention at Vancouver next week. The visit of these missionary friends was thoroughly enjoyed and an inspiration to all who heard them. Mr. Estabrook spoke briefly on tho coming' International Laymen Forward .Missionary movement in Vancouver. This will take place Oct. 18to to Oct 20th ut which such prominent men as Sir Andrew Fraser and Dr. J. R. Mott will he heard. Those men and others of tho convention program will, on Sunday tbe 22nd address special mass meetings at Revelstoke on their way east. .Mr. Senior spoke at some length on the purpose of the Laymen's Forward Missionary Movement. This was not, he explained, a money raising organization, nor was it for the purpose of sending out missionaries. The great purpose of the movement was to get back of all the missionary boards, churches, pajstors and .Held superln- tendunts in their efforts to send the gospel to the destitute parts of the world. The movement stood for the evan^lllzation of the whole world in this generation. He believed tt could be done and It ought lo be done. The civilized world would be the better for it and certainly the cannibal and other cruel and debased und Ignorant, sections of the world that had been won to the gospel light and life had received infinite blessing. Why not the rest of the world still left out In darkness, sorrow and suffering of heathendom? Every one should have a hand In this noble work. Miss Robinson addressed the evening meeting briefly, telling the audience ol a day's work in India, In connection with the Akidu boys and girls Bchool, and other work among the women and their little ones. At the afternoon meeting, Miss Robinson illustrated her interesting remarks with a number of native curios, Including a bright rich costume worn by Miss Dora Wolverton. White Bread Eaters Beri-beri I What's That ? A recent press dispatch from Paris to the New York American quotes Thomas A. Edison as saying that, in France; "They (the French) do not unbalance the wheat for the sake of appearance, but retain the gluten qualities in an extraordinary way. I think that most of the indigestion in America comes from the desire to make bread look pretty, and in so doing, unbalancing the wheat, taking from it qualities most essential to nutrition and health. "It has been found in countries where that dreaded disease known as beri-beri flourishes (beri-beri is a fatal disease attacking the nerves and nerve centres) that in the process of polishing and whitening rice, elements are taken from the food that, if allowed to remain and be fed to patients suffering from the disease, actually cures them." In the making of white flour the vital elements of the hard, outer coat of the wheat are "thrown away" because they darken the flour. Nerve starvation is a natural result. No one can "beat" Old Mother Nature. She places in wheat and barley certain elements (diastase, potash, lime, etc.) up under the outer shell. Diastase is the element which helps to transform or digest starch and make it useful for the body. The potash goes to rebuild the gray matter in the nerve cells. In the Making of Grape-Nuts these brain and nerve-building elements are purposely preserved, among them the valuable phosphate of potash (grown in the grain), the essential tissue salt of all gray nerve matter. For growing children, for men and women who work with body and brain, there is HO better food than Grape-Nuts. Grape-Nuts contains all the meat of the wheat and barley from which it is made. A dish of Grape-Nuts and. cream [is the cereal part of the daily morning meal of hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. , "There's a Reason" Canadian Postum Cereal Company, Limited, Windsor, Ontario, Canada NA-DRU-CO Tasteless Cod Liver Oil Compound There is no question as to the very high value of Cod Liver | Oil, properly prepared and made digestible, asa"builder-up" for convalescents or those who are run-uown, Na-Dru-Co Tasteless Compound contains the valuable proper, ties of the Cod Liver Oil without its disagreeable flavor. In fact this preparation is decidedly pleasant to the taste. With Extract of Malt, Extract of Wild Cherry, and Hypophosphites of Lime, Soda, Potassium, JUangauese arid Iron added, it makes a combination that puts au edge on the appetite—aids digestion—invigorates the nerves—relieves and helps to cure affections of the throat and lungs —and generally builds up strength and restores health. For puny, delicate children there i is probably no better "builder-up" than Na-Dru-Co Tasteless Cod Liver Oil Compound. 102 "" *£.?.££!£*.JSSSSJi lfaBmal Dr»9 «* <*"WI <*• MARK. tEETHATYOUaETIT OF CANADA I LOST IN WOODS FALLS OVER CUFF Dreading Enemy's Persecution Girl Lives Eight Days on Berries—Suf- • fered Terrible Fall ■BONNE BAY, Nfld., Oct. 11— Amanda Howell of this place, dreading the persecution of an enemy, ran away from home two weeks ago. She was found on Sunday last at the bottom of a steep cliff with her clothes all torn from her and her flesh lacerated. For eight days she had wandered through the bush in this remote locality, covering 5 miles before falling over the cliff. She subsisted on berries and roots. She left Bonne Bay with the intention of reaching Trout river, but loBt her way and slept under the trees through the wet and cold. She wandered In a circle for many days and finally in a half crazed condition wandered towards a settlement. In her weakened condition she fell over a steep cliff, where she lay three days until her relations began a search. She tells a disjointed story and says she saw her dead mother's form in the attitude of protecting her. Both her feet were gangrened when found.

DUKE LAUGHS AT BIG TEMPTEST Canada's New Governor General De lights In Rough Voyage—Gives Lesson in Early Rising MONTREAL, Oct. 11—By wireless on board the Empress of Ireland—A heavy squall struck this steamer Monday. Heavy seas broke over the main deck continually and the promenade was awash from sunrise to sunset. The wind dropped towards evening, how ever, and the swell calmed down to a long steady roll, the regulation breaker which was quite pleasant after the jolts and bruising of the day, H.R.H. the Duke of Connaught was on deck through the worst portion of the storm watching from behind the shelter of a wind screen the huge breakers rolling on board. There were few passengers who cared to face the tempest, but the duke appeared to he enjoying himself hugely; but once when an extra big comber came crashing on board and drenched him with spray, he laughed as he shook himself free from the water and turned to light a fresh cigar. Both the duke and the duchess are enjoying excellent health. They are good sailors and remain absolutely unaffected hy the weather. The duke Bpends most of his time strolling about on deck and chatting with the passengers generally. He Is one of the first on deck in the morning long before his staff is up, taking his constitutional In the shape of a sharp walk to and fro the full length of the promenade deck, setting an example to the other passengers of early rising. His royal highness manifests the utmost enthusiastic in regard to his forthcoming work In Canada. He displays keen eagerness to renew his acquaintance with the Dominion and Its people. . On Sunday the duke and duchess attended divine service In tbe saloon, taking their seats unostentatiously among the other passengers. C. P. R. ARRANGES CONTEST FOR FIRST.

WILL BE LET SHORTLY VANCOUVER, B. 0., Oct. 10.-The clearing of the right-of-way on the uncompleted line of the Gaud Trunk Pacific railroad from Tete Jaune Cache westward of Aldenuerc, hi the Bulkeley valley, was started a few weeks ago by the contractors, Foley, Welch & Stewart. The operations thus far are restricted to the route along the south fork of the Faser, between the Cache and Fort George. J. W. Stewart, managing director of the firm, and B. B. Kelllher, chief engineer of the railroad, are now making a trip from the, Yellowhead Pass to Prince Rupert. It Ib stated that the sub-contracts covering the uncompleted gap of 415 miles will be awarded shortly when Stewart returns to Vancouver. NEW HOR8E CARS SUCCESS The new 60-borse cars which were recently put into operation by the Canadian Pacific railway have become very popular with Bhlppers of horses. The other day at the Woodbine races in Toronto an owner of a big southern stable wanted to buy one of the cars outright from the C.P.R. In moving about from track to track his horses had to cover a large amount ot rail way mileage and he thought that the cars were the safest and best in which to ship them.

OTTAWA, Oct. li.—with every evidence of general heartfelt sorrow Ottawa said farewell yeBterday to H. B. Earl Grey, Lady Grey and the two daughters, Lady Evelyn Grey and Lady Violet Grey. It was more than a civic farewell to one of the most distinguished of Can- " .'s governor-generals. It was national In scope, for thousands gathered at the depot to cheer the great nobleman on his departure. There were prominent people at the station, including Sir Richard Scott, General Otter, Mayor Hopewell and Colonel Fred White. Sir -Wilfrid Laurier Is In Montreal and could not be present, but a chair near the platform was occupied by Lady Laurier, who had a beautiful boquet to present to Lady Grey. Several other boquets were presented, including three fine ones by the C. P. K. His excellency and family were escorted to the station by,a smart escort of cavalry provided by the Princess Louise dragoon guards. All along tho route the crowds cheered and expressed their feelings of admiration. When the train pulled out of the station shortly after 5 o'clock a most affecting scene occurred. With one accord, the large crowd of at least 3,000 people, which jammed the platform and crowded around the earl's car, burst into the old familiar song, "Auld Lang Syne." A carpet was laid from .the station door to the rear of the train, where chairs were placed lor the vice-regal party. While passing through the station his excellency and family were received by Premier and Mrs. Borden and Mayor Hopewell and Mrs. Hopewell. A boquet of flowers was presented to Lady Grey by Mrs. Hopewell, while the mayor's daughter presented boquets to Lady Violet and Lady Evelyn. Going through the crowd, Earl Grey and his family shook hands with everybody and said their personal farewell. Earl Grey passed around the escort of hoy scouts who lined the crowd, clapping the boys on the shoulder and complimenting them on their soldierly appearance. The scouts gave three cheers. Premier Borden, stepping on the car platform, called again for three more cheers and they were given with a will. GENERAL STRIKE ON BOTH SYSTEMS Likely That G, T. P. and G. T, R. Em- ployees Will Cease Work All Over Country TORONTO, Oct. 11.—The decision reached a few days ago by the machinists employed on the Grand Trunk Pacific to so on strike Wednesday is apparently a move to a general strike of machinists on the Grand Trunk Pacific and the Grand Trunk railroads from one end of the system to the other. Local U'nuid Trunk officials laugh at the Idea of the'' men In Ontario going on strike but acknowledge that the men have never been satisfied since they were beaten by the company a few years ago. They admit also that meetings have been held during the past few weeks in Toronto, Hamilton, Welland, London, Brantford and Port Huron. The men are asking for recognition of their organization and an increase of wages. Several of the men here today admitted that they would watch the movement In the west, whose example they might follow If things did not improve. Stern Fight Likely WINNIPEG, Oct. 10.—Developments In the strike situation show that the company ls determined to sit tight. Men are being secured as fast as possible and sent out to the various points where the fight ls proceeding, and tt Is said that the work will go right on all over the system as though there was no strike on. Yesterday afternoon 75 men left Winnipeg for Rivers and they will start work right away In tbe shops there. The men who have gone out are all union men and the new men have been declared scabs and their promises to go to work arc not to be depended on. There seems to be no difficulty In getting men who have experience} in tho work as a large number of those who have been on strike on the Harrimun lines have come hero seeking work. All are being picked up by the agents of the company and hurried to the points where needed. The men show no signs of yielding nnd there does not appear to he uny chance of tho company giving In to their demands as they fine" other labor ready to hand.

A fitting send-off from British Columbia to Hon. Martin Burrell on leaving for Ottawa to be sworn In ns minister of agriculture in Hon, R. L. Borden's cabinet, was the reception tendered him by the Conservatives of Nelson last evening. The large attendance bespoke the high euteem in which Mr, Burrell is held In this city, and the feeling of the meeting reflected the general recognition of his eminent flt- nesg for tbe position to which he has heen called by his leader. Mr. Burrell In the course of his happy and tactful address touched upon one subject in particular upon which all right-thinking Canadians will agree with him. That was in regard to the civil service. He took the stand that the civil service should be taken absolutely and entirely out of politics, in other words that the outside service should be placed on exactly the, same footing as what is known as the Inside service, which includes the officials and employees generally of the government, in the government offices at Ottawa. As Mr. Burrell pointed out, Mr. Borden, in opposition, took a stand upon this matter, which, Tbe Daily News believes, he will carry into effect as head of the new government.

I This Date in History. \ George W. Cahle, the noted writer of southern stories, was horn in New Orleans on this date in 1844, and received his education In tiie public schools of his native city. At the ago of 14 he was required by the death of his father to assist in the support of the family, and he secured employment In a commercial house. Pour years later, though but a frail youth, he enlisted In a Confederate cavalry regiment, and served until the close of the war. He then returned to New Orleans and resumed his counting room employment, remaining in it almost continuously for 14 years. In the meantime he had written some short stories of Creole life, and the success with which they met Induced him In 1879 to give up commercial work and devote himself entirely to literature. Since then numerous novels and short stories, almost all of them portraying southern life, have come from his pen, and have added to the reputation which Mr. Cable established with his initial effort, "Old Creole Days."

The fiscal year of the province ends this month and since Sept. 1 about $44,000 has beon put into tho provincial treasury by the various corporations as taxes. Their total payments will amount t0 over $800,000. The succession dues will probably reach $1,000,- 000. The budget estimate of this income was $700,000. The T. & N. O. earnings are well up to expectations. The bar receipts will average about $18,000 per month for the first month they have been collected. The revenue from the tax on stocks Is said to be satisfactory. The hydro-electric scheme is now In shape to make returns.

ROVER WILL BE , SEEN NO MORE Sweeping Changes Made by National Hockey Association Magnates in Secret Conclave. MONTREAL, Oct. 11.—Sweeping changes in the regulations under which hockey has been played by the teams in the National Hockey association were made at a meeting of the magnates In Montreal. The press was rigidly excluded but at the conclusion of the meeting several important announcements were made, -The number of men constituting a team Is to be reduced from seven men to six, the position of rover being abolished. The reasons £pr the change were not made public, in addition every player Is to be numbered so that the spectators may the more easily follow the prtfgress of the game. Further each team must have a uniform of distinctive colors, several of the teams last year being attired in costumes very similar. Fresh players will be permitted to be substituted at any period during the game. A national commission of directors is to be chosen and all referees and timers are to be officially selected. Quebec, Ottawa, Renfrew, Canadians and Wanderers were represented at the meeting, which was presided over by President Emmett Quinn. The association ,admitted a new club, which is to represent Toronto, making a six club league and it was decided to play a double schedule, each team playing four games with every other team. FOREST M0NARCHS SAVED FROM FIRE (Continued from Page One.) partment which Hon. Mr. Ross organized. Efforts were made to impress not only upon lire wardens aud divisional wardens the necessity of efficiently patrolling the various districts so that fires could be discovered and controlled before they gained sufficient headway to cause damage but also to impress upon the rancher and the public the tremendous importance of the protection of British Columbia's forest wealth.

Mr. Koss, Mr. McGregor and others representing the government, the leading lumbermen of the district and J. S. Dennis, land commissioner for the C. P. R., when arrangements were made whereby the three bodies were in future to co-operate in the campaign against forest fires. During the summer many of tbe lumbermen had regular patrolmen at work on their limits and tho railways made arrangements for patrolmen to follow every train on speeders so that any fires which were started along the track might be extinguished immediately. That this plan of organized prevention of loss of forest wealth hy means of proper patroling proved effective is shown by the fact that during the season there were approximately 250 outbreaks of fire in Mr. McGregor's district, very few of which reached sufficient proportions to cause serious damage before being discovered and extinguished by members of the fire protection service. One of Mr. Ross' objects in the inauguration of the modern system in this province was tbe Introduction of new forest protection legislation at the next session and before leaving for Ontario about the end of tins week Mr. McGregor will make a number of important recommendations on these lines to the minister. POOR TURKEY, SAYS SHEFKEL "All She Wants Is Liberty"—Ottoman War Minister Talks In Doleful Strain LONDON, Oct, It,—A despatch to the Daily Mail from Tripoli says: I just heard a courier who arrived from Munliir Pass asking the Italian governor to enter into negotiations with a view to a Turkish surrender. It appears that the Turkish officers held a council and decided, owing to the shortage of provisions and water and outbreaks of fever, not to offer further resistance; Tho Daily Mall's Constantinople correspondent says that in an Interview the war minister, Shefkel Pasha, admitted that the defence was Impossible since Turkey had no fleet. Asked whether the Porte contemplated suing for peace rflief- kel replied: "We hope Italy will spare us that." He added that Intervention by the powers would be the most acceptable thing, and said, "Turkey wants peace for her internal developments, she wants to be friendly with every power, but to find a definite alliance might be difficult. It Is only natural," continued Shefkel, "that we are inclined toward Germany; who let us have money and soldiers and battleships when the other powers declined.

TAFT HAS ANTE-GLACIAL WALKING CANE FROM CANADA SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 11.—President Taft has among the souvenirs oi his western trip a cane cut from a stump, which scientists declare was a tree before the glacial period. The worAI was found in tho valley of the south fork of the Old Jlan river in ihe northern part of tho province of Alberta, by Prof. W. S. Foster, a geologist and explorer, living in Spokane. The cane, which Is valued at $5,000, was presented by Edwin T, Coman, president of tho chamber of commerce, on behalf of the people of Spokane. 'The stump, which stood in a peat bed, was found beneath GO feet of glacial wash," said Professor Foster, giving a history of the discovery, "and preserved to the present day by one or tiie wonderful freaks of nature. The peat, from which the stump was taken, on a sandstone formation and Is about three feet in thickness. Seaweeds and flag stocks found nearby also were well preserved. •'This peat bed was uncovered by Hie wearing away of the glacial wash hy floods and the flow of the Old Man river.

The singer, who was In fine voice after the summer's rest, was received by an enthusiastic audience, among whom were many who have heard Nordica on former tours. The diva's repertory Included two Japanese songs by Wakefield Cadman, Schumann's "Dor Nussbaum," "Webber's "En Arvll," Vidal's Arlette, a duo from "Le Nozzo di Figaro" by Nordica and Mrs. Whitney, and "The Erlking," by Shubert, as well as her favorite operatic arias. The opera house was sold out and had been for months past at advanced prices, the mere mention of the name of Nordica being sufficient to secure a crowded house. The voice which has pleased music lovers all over the civilized world, and brought her honors and orders from European monarchs and as highly priced encomiums from her hor own countrymen, proved as potent as ever It was, and the great singer responded time and again to the demand for encores.
