EIGHT PAQES- **» 60 CENTS A MONTH ~ ~r **~ iftr <E*L SJFIED ADS 1 ' ^©ENW^ORD 111 voL io NELSON. B. C. WEDNESDAY MORNING. JANUARY 31.1912 NO. 249 FOR mil OF TIFF POLO This Is Chief Work of Proposed Commission DOMINION GRAIN " LAWS WORLD'S BEST But Government Intends to Improve Them, Says Hon. G. E. Foster OTTAWA, Jan. 30—The two chief features of today's Bitting of lhe house of commons was a brief discussion of the powers which will be assigned to the permanent tariff commission and the consideration in committee ot, the bill respecting the Grain act. The tariff talk occurrred in committee on Hon. T. W. White's resolution oh which the bill is based. In response to a number of questions from members on both sides of the house, the minister of finance repeatedly emphasized the point that the chief work of the commission would be to secure Information on which the government might act in framing its tariff policy. •Sir Wilfrid Laurier said that he would reserve bis comments until the bill came up for discussion. Hon. G. E, Foster in committee on the Grain act, made an Interesting explanatory speech in which he laid emphasis on the fact that Canada bas better laws regulating the sale of grain than any other country in the world and yet it was proposed further to improve them. Opposition members were disposed to criticize the government for making the commission's' ruling subject to the governor general In council. They said that the commission with limited powers would not meet with the desires of the farmers. Mr. Foster assured the house that while it was necessary to make provisions for government control it was the Intention of the ministry td give tbe commission as free a band as possible. He promised to take the vari- out recommendations made Into consideration. The bill contains 247 clauses, 37 of which were disposed of before the committee rose to report progress. Sympathy Expressed When the house met Prime Minister Borden said he'desired to make an allusion to the death of the Duke of Fife. He referred to the deceased nobleman as a man of distinguished ability whose chief aim in life was to work for the benefit of ihe Unlted"~Klngdom and the whole empire. He was closely connected with the present King and the . Duke of Connaught, his widow being the princess royal of Great Britain and Ireland. The profound and sincere sympathy of all member of the house would go out to the royal family in their bereavement, he said. Sir Wilfrid Laurier likewise paid a tribute to the memory of the departed duke. Lke all other members of the royal family his life bas been marked by an absolute devotion to duty. He had made lt bis special business to take up all matters that concerned the true welfare of the British empire. The mourning of the royal family, he said, would be 'the mourning of the whole empire. Gutelius Appointed Mr. Best, Conservative member for Dufferlne, and Mr. Morphy, Conservative member for North Forth, on a Question of privilege gave denial to the statement made by the Toronto Globe and other papers to tbe effect that they had in the committee of agricul- ure complained of estimates submitted by Hon. Sam Hughes, minister of militia. Both declared tbat they had not referred to the minister by name nor had they expressed dissatisfaction with the estimates of any of the ministers. - Replying to a resolution by E. M. Macdonald of Pictou, Hon. Frank Cochrane announced that an order in council had been passed appointing F. P. Gutelius and G. L. Lynch of St. An- tolne, commissioners to investigate the construction of the National Transcontinental railway.' In moving the bouse into a committee to consider the resolution and .replying respecting, the appointment of a permanent tariff commission, Hon. T. W. White, minister of : finance, said that the three commissioners would be ■ appointed for a period of five years. The chairman would receive a salry of $7,500 per annum, while tbe other .commissioners would get $7,000 per annum. They would be expected to devote their entire time to the work of the commission and would have authority to engage experts and take evidence. Broad Guage Tariff Commission Hon. R. Lemteux wanted to know If the farmers would be represented on the commission. Mr. -White said that ■■ tbe personnel of the commission bad not been considered..uH*'U«»Ught it would be a mistake to either-appoint or exclude any man simply because of his calling. Tlhe commission would consist of able and earnest men broad enough to be in sympathy with all i classes and Interests. They should command the confidence of everybody. Sir Wilfrid Laurier said It would be impossible to decide whether or not the proposal created a new departure or not until the bill had been brought down. It would not be advisable, therefore to offer any remarks at the present moment. Under Direction of Finance Minister W. F. Maclean asked If the commission would have any initiative powers. Mr. White explained that the commissioners would be under the direction of the minister of finance. Their chief duty would be to collect information for the guidance of the government. Mr. Knowles wanted to know If the commission had been asked for either by the dealers or the manufacturers, also if there had been any opposition to the appointment of such a body. Mr. White replied that so far as he knew, no requests for the appointment of the commission had been received. Tt had, however, been the subject of discussion for a considerable time and was a plank In Mr. Borden's platform as long ago as 1905. Sir Wilfrid Laurier had in a general way expressed himself as being in favor of a permanent commission. The announcement that a commission was to be named had been well received throughout the country. Replying to E. M. Macdonald, Mr". White Intimated that the commission would not have the power to negotiate. He repeated that lt would not UBurp any of the "functions belonglnc to the government. "I look on It," he Bald, "as a means of obtaining Information." Sir Wilfrid Laurier Btated that it was on record that the Manufacturers' association bad repeatedly asked for the appointment of a tariff commission. He was of the opinion that the manufacturers had In mind a body of larger powers than would be possessed by the proposed commission. He expressed doubt as to whether this commission corresponded with the idea he had ln his own mind when the matter was previously discussed. Mr. Cash raised a point as to whether or not the reports of tbe commission would be made public. Information Available. Mr. White explained that there was a provision by which Information of a confidential nature would be withheld, as it might help a business rival. He Imagined that most of the Information collected would be available to any memlber of the house. Hon. Frank Oliver said that apparently the minister had not made up his mind on the subject. It would be well to make provision for the appll- fConttnued on Page Four.) STREET TALKERS ARE SENT TO JAIL Three Months Sentence for Vancouver Men—Hindus Furnish Sail for Industrial Workers VANCOUVER, B.C., Jan. 30 Three of the men arrested by the police at a meeting on Carrell street early today were sent to jail for three months each by Magistrate South. They were all charged with vagrancy and his worship considered that the charge was proven In all the cases. The men themselves seemed to be delighted at being Bent to jail and grinned moat happily as they were being led below. They were all members of the I.W.W. and all refused to swear on the Bible. To the court they said they believed ln no God and no hereafter. Hindus Put up Ball Nearly all the men who were arrested at Powell street grounds on Sunday are now out on ball but there are several who could not find any monied friends and they are still in Jail. A peculiar feature of the affair Is that the ball money of those who did get out was furnlBhed by some of the prominent Hindus of the city. EXPOSE PLOT TO American Lumbermen Caught at Regina MANY CARS HAVE " BEEN SHIPPED IN Boards Planed and Roughed Over in Attempt to Cheat Customs REGINA, Sask., Jan. 30—The possibility of a gigantic plot to defraud the customs was unearthed In the police court today as a result of the prosecution of S. I. H. McDiarmid, yardmaster of the C.P.R. at Regina, charged with allowing car No. 74836 in bond to pass through the local yards without paying duty to the customs officers. A conviction was secured and the railway company was also convicted on Its own admission in connection with the case. It ls alleged that the practice haB gone on for years either with or without the collusion of the railway officials and during recent months alone some 30 cars have thus escaped the customs. There Is In force a customs regulation which allows the free entry into Canada of rough lumber but demands a duty on all lumber which has been manufactured beyond the stage of planing on one side. It is Bald that lumber Is turned out of the mills in the States planed on one Bide and manufactured on the other side, but afterwards roughed over by a machine with a view to make It appear as rough lumber .and thus evade the duty in Canada. This applied particularly to scantling and large lumber. Scantling of dimensions of 2 by 4 also could be prepared for use and roughed over, making it appear as rough lumber to evade the duty. The customs officers caught on to this deception, however, and determined to put a stop to lt. One step towards putting a stop to this cheating of the customs was the passing of an order in council at Ottawa which brought into force the regulation referred to ln the foregoing. The car which slipped through the Regina yard was a car of this class. The lumber was manufactured beyond the extent allowed by the law for free entry. No effort was made to clear It because the railway shipped It out before the hills were presented to the customs. The car had been watched, however, and had an application been made for free entry lt was the intention of the authorities to seize the lumber. DISCUSS DEVELOPMENT OF SASKATCHEWAN COAL. REGINA, Sask., Jan. 30.—Less than 15 minutes served this afternoon to dispose of the business before the houBe. The government gave notice of the introduction of the following bills: To amend the public improvements act, the grain act, and an act to ratify certain agreements made between bis majesty and the Saskatchewan Cooperative Elevator company, and a bill respecting the support of illegitimate children. Notice has been given by George Bell of a resolution asking for the gathering of information ac to the feasibility of developing power from the southern Saskatchewan coal fields. Construction Camp Fire Gave Gold to Turkegs MINITONAS, Man., Jan. 30.—The turkey gold mine at Minitonas Ib no more. The last Btraw was broken today when one of the nuggets supposed to have been (found in the crop of one of Elliott's turkeys was assayed by an expert and revealed the fact that tt does not contain a grain of gold. When given the acid test it melted away like a snowball In boiling water. A ht-mber of prospectors, many of whom are Yukon men, who were still prospecting and believed gold was to be.found; have now given up all hope and are returning to their homes. Prospectors were very desirous ot putting down a shaft beside the old well at Elliott's farm for ascertaining the nature of tbe soil, hut Elliott refused to allow any of them to do this. A number of the prospectors were very indignant and many of them admitted they had lost confidence In Elliott. The land oflflce at Dauphin was todt*y notified that It was a "fake." i^tt»Hc6|bBii<T(i;i ■■'■ The citizens of. this town were duped perhaps more than outsiders, as they had absolute confidence in the gold find, and many are now in Dauphin for the nurpose of registering their claim's. Some 37 years ago, when a right of way was cut along the north side of the Duck mountains, the proposed route of the Canadian Pacific railway, several railway camps were situated at different powtB along the route. It Is believed that where this "Jewelry junk" was found was no other than the site where a large railway camp was destroyed by fire and that tbe "turkey gold" at one time bore the form of rings, watch chains and other trinkets. Pieces of melted glass, nails, etc., were also taken from tbe sand. Tbe excitement la quickly subsiding and inside 24 hours ail- tbe remaining miners will have left and conditions will have once more returned to normal.

MARRIAGE NON-EXISTENT MONTREAL, Jan. 30—Another marriage annullment case was brought to a close this afternoon in the practice court by a judgment rendered by Justice Bruneau giving civil effect to the ecclesiastical decree of the Roman Catholic church declaring the marriage of Dame Marie Anne Meunier to Francois Xavier Blanchet non-existent. The main basis of the pronouncement was the existence of an impediment to the marriage in the first instance, such impediment having the erfect of voiding the marrlrage from Us inception. CONSERVE FORESTS, SAYS FLUMERFELT Timber Development Will Mean Expenditure of Hugs Sums in British Columbia. (Special to The Daily News.) VANCOUVER, B. C.t Jan. 30.—The necessity for preserving British Columbia forests and for logging in a business-like way was urged by A. C. Flumerfelt in an address today be- |the Canadian club on "Forestry In BrltlBh Columbia." He emphasized the rapidly developing markets and the rapidly decreasing area of timber. In five or ten years British Columbia's stumpage would be exceedingly small, he said. Those who had the courage to retain their timber holdings for a few years would reap a profitable harvest. He estimated that there were 200,000,000,000 feet in the commercial forests or the province. To log this to the cars would mean an expenditure of 2,800,000,000, exclusive of transportation charges, which would run from ?5 to $20 per thousand feet., Many were needed to man this industry. He spoke of the great beneficial effect such expenditure would have on other industries. In urging careful reforestation he said that in the .United 'States 80,000,000 acres of forests had been worked so severely that It would not stand a second crop. LONDON CAPITAL AMPLE FOR MINES But Developed Properties Are Most In Demand, Says Promoter—May Reorganize Steel Corporation. (Special to Tho Dally News.) VANCOUVER, B. C, Jan. 30.—According to Henry Hoffman ,a noted English mining engineer, the re-organization of tiie Western Steel corporation may be ejected by BrltlBh' capital. He has had several conferences here with J. A. Moore of Seattle, president of the company, and his fellow- directors .Messrs. Gibbs and Faulkner. Mr. Hoffman is here to inspect the properties. He went to Victoria today. If the British syndicate becomes interested as a result of Mr. Hoffman's investigations it is understood an extensive plan of development of the Iron properties on Vancouver island .Graham island and the state of Washington, as well as the building off steel works near Vancouver and the extension of the plant at Irondale, Wash., will be carried out. This program would involve an expenditure of millions of dollars. "London mining corporations always have ample capital available for investment In developed mines with large ore tonnage," said Mr. Hoffman. They prefer shipping mines to undeveloped claims, with good showings. The attitude taken by Canadians ,1 am sorry to say, Ib not conducive to an Influx of British capital to the Dominion for mining purposes. "They are unreasonable in their terms. London, with all its expert advice, has been stung so often that the day for palming off wild cats for dividend earners is gone by."

' BE EQUAL TO BEST Premier McBride Has Confidence in Borden Policy MOST EFFICIENT SHIPS NECESSARY Growth of Province Makes Subject of Increasing Importance (Special to The Dally News.) VICTORIA, B. C. ,.Tan. 30.—The outstanding feature of today's proceedings in parliament was an address by Premier McBride upon the text of Mr. Brewster'B naval resolution. The premier elaborated his reasons for concurrence with certain portions of the motion, emphasizing the necessity for early and adequate action for the protection of the British Columbia Pacific seaboard, and in conclusion offered an amendment to the following effect: "And whereas the government of Canada has decided that any sciieme of naval defense to be effective must be by co-operation with the mother country and other partB of the empire, therefore be it resolved that the Dominion government be urged that in view of the great importance of the immediate and adequate protect, n of the Pacific coast of Canada the question of naval defense be considered at the earliest possible date." Mr. Brewster has accepted the amendment and will incorporate it with his main motion which, when In Its amended form it comes before the house, will probably be accepted unanimously. Experts Condemn Laurier Policy. In-offering his amendment Premier McBride said that since the change of government the people of Canada bad had a Bpecific assurance from Mr. Hazen that expert advice had condemned fthe naval policy of tbe previous government, which would have meant the assembling of vessels which, when assembled, would be obsolete. The new government had been in office only a few months, hn*. as soon as time permitted it might be depended upon to enunciate and carry forward a policy that would make for the establishment of an efficient Canadian navy and relieve the tension now existing on the Pacific and Atlantic seaboards. In attempting to bring about naval defense why should Canada stop snort of bavins the most modern, powe.lul and thoroughly efficient warships, the very last word in naval equipment? Canada Must Have Best. If the rainbow was regarded as not good enough lo ictain a place on the active list of the British navy she was, ln his opinion, not good enough for the Canadian navy. Fair opportunity should be given to Mr. Hazen, to Mr. Borden and his government, to frame and poiftct their naval policy before captious criticism was offered. There was no question of this country's financial ability; she need no longer go as a suppliant to the old land for the protection of her shores. He thought that Canada might confidently expect, when the new government had opportunity to confer with the admiralty, to witness -Un consummation of a naval policy creditable to the Dominion and acceptable to Liberals and Conservatives alike. As true and loyal Canadians all should look upon this question from the broad patriotic national viewpoint and he sincerely hoped that It might be taken out of politics altogether and placed on a higher plane. The people on the coast naturally at times experienced some slight Irritation, some sense of impatience with those of the other provinces in their apathy In regard to naval necessities. There was a disposition among those on the seaboard to be discouraged at times through the indifference of those who residted' In the Inland provinces because they regarded this question aB one which might very well stand over from day to day. Immensely Important to Province. With the construction of yet other transcontinental railways in Canada, two of which were now forging rapidly forward, and with a better understanding of conditions prevailing on the coasts, the time would come when throughout the entire Dominion Canadians would Join heartily and willingly in the provision of a strong and efficient Canadian navy which would be a credit to any nation In the world. The province of British Columbi: involved ln the construct1'-^ ber ot Important . ^° Five Million for Main Line Improvements TRANSFER BARGES FOR ARROW LAKES New Branch Lines for South of Province Will Be Announced (Special to The Dally News.) VANCOUVER, B. C, Jan. 30.—Five million dollars will be expended by the Canadian Pacific In improving the main line west of Field and in carrying out In part extensive plans which will make Coqultlam, 10 miles out of Vancouver, one of the largest terminals in Canada. The largest part of the appropria- 0a<-?n will be expended here, including with their t.V1- ,-v-v ..times on tidewater. This meant InUitably that within tho next few years the investments of Canadian money which would be placed within the corporate limits of British Columbia's various seaboards must run into $100,000,000. As a matter of honest duty to ourselves and to those who invest their capital in our industries we should, therefore, spare no effort in interesting the people of the eastern provinces and the prairies in the urgency of immediate action towards preparedness for defense of the coast line," he said. Confidence In Ottawa. It was a matter of cold-blooded business policy that recognition should be given ito the fact that assurance must be procured for the safety of British Columbia's seashore and of the investments there along. Within two or two and a half years the Panama canal might be expected to be completed and this brought home the situation with even stronger emphasis. How much larger must these Investments be when the completion and operation of the canal was (Continued on Page Four.) ALBERTA AFTER BRITISH FARMERS Federal Government Appoints Three Calgary Men to Attract Immigrants to Golden West CALGARY, Alta.. Jan. 30.—Tlon. Robert Rofier.s, minister of the interior, has appointed W. MoConnell, E. Blshfield and John F. Cowan delegates to Great Britain for the purpose of Inducing the farmers in the British Isles to emigrate and ent©; the field "f agriculture in Alberta.

Nelson Makes Bid for Large Iron Foundrg Eqipped with facts and photographs showing the advantages which Nelson enjoys as a site for a steel and iron foundry W. F. Roberts, chairman of the publicity bureau, left for Spokane yesterday morning with the object of interviewing H. M. Shallenberger president of the International Lead & Iron Co., and endeavoring to prove that this city would be a more desirable location for the smelter which thiB company proposes to erect to treat the ores from Its properties oh the Pend d'Oreille river than Spokane where Mr. Shallenberger has announced the company intends to build. Mr. Roberts, after presenting Nelson's claims, will urge Mr. Shallenberger to come here, look over the available sites and discuss the matter with the city council, Mayor Annable having declared bis readiness to. do everything in his power to Induce the company to locate here. The support of the "Greater Nelson" committee of the council is also assured. Nelson's juxtaposition to the Pend d'Oreille and also to the great iron deposits at Crawford Bay, which might prove an auxiliary source of supply to tbe International Lead & Iron Co., the shorter haul from the Pend d'Oreille deposits, the shorter haul for coal and coke supply and tbe possibilities offered In the development of the latent power of the Kootenay river will be urged by Mr. Roberta as some of the reasons ; why the company should choose Nelson as the site for its foundry instead of Spokane. Nelson's Claim iMgures in Mr, Roberts' possession will show that the haul from the Pend d'Oreille deposit is at the very least 100 miles less to Nelson than to the American city and that the coke haul would be approximately 55 miles shorter. With regard to power, Mr. Roberts will show that within 13 miles of Nelson there is at present 22,500 horse power developed and that other falls within that distance of the city can develop 130,000 horse power if harness- ed. If developed on a large scale power can be produced on the Kootenay river, according to an estimate by A. L. McCulloch, for from $8 to ?10 per horse power. Would Save Duty If the plant is built at Spokane duty must be paid on the ore. This would be saved if the foundry is located at Nelson and as far as markets for the finished product are concerned the publicity chairman will show that at the present time the three provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Sas katchewan are for their area the largest consumers of steel raits in the world and must continue to hold this position for years. The fact that there Ib a population, according to the census, of 60,000 people In Kootenay and the Boundary and that consequently a local market for iron products of con siderable importance could be supplied will also be mentlooed. - round house and 25 miles of railway lines in the yards. The balance is entirely for the main line. Announcements regarding branches in southern British Columbia are expected in the near future. Four transfer barges will be built for the Okanagan and Arrow lakes and a new station at Merrlt... Ballasting on the Okanagan branch, 35 miles from SIcamous Junction to Okanagan Landing, will be started soon. The double track from Hammond to Vancouver will cost $750,000. The balance will be for tracks .bridges, river protection improvements, new snow- sheds, oil tanks, rock crushing plants, etc. The cost of Vancouver's new depot, plans for which have been prepared, is not Included in this appropriation. STEVENS WANTS WHITE LABOR ONLY Member for Vancouver Asks Railway Committee to Make Ruling for British Columbia. OTTAWA, Jan. 30.—When the bill respecting Canadian Northern branch lines in the west came up for consideration by the committee today, exception waa taken to the description o[ several routes described in the bill as the lines of an agreement reached with the legislature of Alberta. W. F. McLean and F, G. Turriff said tue descriptions were of too general a character. One line, it was pointed out, wns to a run to a point on Peace river. This would mean that it could touch any point on the whole length, of that waterway. lion. Frank Cochrane .minister of railways, was disposed to agree wita the contention that the routes were too loosely described. He suggested that the company take the matter up with the western government concerned. The bill was allowed to stand over. During consideration of a bill to incorporate the Pacific Trans-Canada railway, H. H. Stevens, member for Vancouver, moved that none but white labor be emlployed on the section of the line to be constructed in British Columbia, Chairman Lennox said that such a ruling could not be applied to one rail- wav ,a general rnte would have to be made for all railway companies. Mr. Stevens said that he proposed to press tbe matter, but as it was 1 o'clock the discussion was allowed to so over till the next meeting of the committee.

BAPTIST COLLEGE ART COURSE MAY GO Western Union of Church Discusses Question—Some Think Arts Are Too Expensive. (Special to The Dally News.) VANCOUVER, B. C, Jan. ItO.—The Baptist Union of Western Canada closed its Convention tonight. One of the most interesting discussions had been on educational policy, whether to extend or curtail the preset scope of the Brandon and Okanagan colleges. Rev. D. C. Ross pointed out that the arts department of these two colleges cost $35,000 over the receipts last year. He thought the elimination of the arts course would still leave colleges which would meet the demands of the church. President Mc- Dlarmid of Brandon college pleaded for the retention of all present courses and further expansion. Dr. Wolverton of Nelson complimented the faculty of Brandon and strongly opposed any curtailment of tho curriculum. MONITOR, FAMOUS IRONCLAD, LAUNCHED FIFTY YEARS AGO WASHINGTON, Jan. 30—Fifty years ago today took place one of the most important events in naval history, the launching of.the famous ironclad ship Moniitor at Brooklyn. The construction of this craft marked the turning point in the great naval transition from the old wooden warships to the modern battleships of the dreadnought type. The Monitor was the firBt fighter to be equipped with a revolving turret. A short time after she was completed there took place between her and the Merrlrmac in Hampton Roads the first battle between armored warships. The Morrimac was an old wooden vessel converted by the Confederate government Into an ironclad ram. The result of the contest between the two vessels was somewhat of a "draw" but it settled the question of the superiority of any kind of Ironclad ship over the old wooden men of war. Immediately the nations of the world began constructing new iron vessels and ever since there has been a continuous effort on the one hand to Invent guns capable of destroying existing vessels and on the other hand to invent ships capable of resisting them. Great Britain waB easily first in the new departure and has occupied tbat position for half a century, though closely pressed for first honors by the United States and Germany. FAMOUS CONDUCTOR COMING BERLIN, Jan. 30—Fellr Weingartner the famous Munich musical conductor, sailed for New York for the purpose of conducting six performances of Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde" in Boston, New York and San Francisco.

SALOON FIXTURES GO TO MOOSE JAW Monuments to Rossland's Palmiest Days Will be Shipped From Famous Bars (Speda! to The Daily News.) ROSSLAJN1), Jan. 30—The camp has seen.the last of the magnificent fixtures of the old Strand and Queens saloons, monuments to Rossland's one time greatness. The fixtures have been sold and will be shipped to Moose Jaw. These appurtenances were perhaps as expensive1 and perfect as any ever brought Into British Columbia and the opening of the strand was one of the memorable events of Rossland's boom era. Two bands, provided music on the opening day and many thousand dollars' worth of cut glass adorned the bar. There were four bar tenders on day shift and four on the night shift with extra help within quick call. E. Walker was the proprietor and was as busily occupied as the floor walker in a department store. For a long period visitors to Rossland would invariably go to the Strand to view its magnificence. Later on the bank took charge of the fixtures for safe keeping and Mr. Watson went to Seattle where he died. The Queens saloon fixtures were of an even more expensive and ornate character, being of solid mahogany. It required eight men to lift the two Inch mahogany slab which covered tbe bar. PIONEER CLERGYMAN DEAD. (Special to The Dally News.) VANCOUVER, B C, Jan. 30.—Rev. G-. H.

FARMERS MUST PROVIDE STORAGE Unreasonable to Expect Railroads to Handle Wheat Crop In Two Months, Says W. A. Black. WINNIPEG, Jan. 30.—"It is unreasonable to expect the railroads to move the whole of the vast season's crop of western Canada in a couple of months and it Is laying on them! an impossible task," said W. A. Black, general manager of the Ogilvle Milling company, when interviewed this morning on his return from his western trip, during which he has been examining the situation in regard to choosing the location of the new 3,000 barrel Ogilvle mill to be built this summer. "The .only solution of the problem is that the farmers must themselves provide storage capacity for Bay two- thirds of their annual crop and make it gradually. The present system of threshing and rushing to market the crop aB threshed gluts the market and bears down prices and as long as lt is attemjpted there will be congestion and car shortage and attendant troubles. Picture to yourselves conditions when the western crop trebles that of this year, even supposing there Bhould be by then treble the transportation facilities available." "Do you think that a movement of Canadian grain or flour to the Orient In the near future may help matters?" "I have long considered that possibility. It was thought that after the Russo-Japanese war an Oriental market of great importance would come into access, but up to the present tiie outlook has been disappointing. There has been yet only a very narrow market for low grade flour and though the trade has increased somie this fall on account of famine conditions in parts of China still the export trade in flour to the Orient ls not of great importance." "Will the further extension of mlli- ing business help things?" Mill Location Uncertain. "We are building another mill because we can already see a market for our output, hut It must be borne in mind that the mill capacity of the west is already very great, immensely, in excess of the demand fol home consumption. The Ogilvle company will increase its plant aB conditions make such Improvements necessary. As you know, this! new mill is the first im-portant addition to our plant for some time." "You have not yet decided on its location?" "No, I have no announcement to make and shall not have until after a meeting of the directors of the company. It may be some little timte before a final decision Is received. There is an Immense amount of grain in the west yet unthreshed. Not much less than 30,000,000 bushelal and I am doubtful it any of It will be available for milling purposes. Some of it Ib stacked and some in stook. It ls hard to get experienced opinion of how this stuff will come out and whether it will keep," It Is said unofficially that the new Ogilvle mill will be located at Calgary or at Cowley, Alta.

GREAT TUNNEL WILL GIVE GOOD WATER SUPPLY NEW YORK, Jan. 30—Mayor Gaynor accompanied by the members of the board of water supply and a number of invited guests, went up to Storm King today to take part in the celebration of the completion of the tunnel work for the Catsklll aqueduct under the Hudson river between Storm King and Break Neck. The opening of the tunnel marks an important step in the advancement of the great Catsklll aqueduct towards completion. The carrying of the aqueduct, which will have the capacity of a small river, beneath the Hudson river and the irregular country adjacent known as the Highlands, presented an extremely difficult problem. The tunnel is 500 feet below the surface of the river and extends from the famous headland of the Hudson known Storm King to a point on the opposite shore called Break Neck. The building of the Catsklll aqueduct which is to afford the great city of New York an adequate supply of pure water for ages to come, has been pronounced by engineers to be a greater undertaking than the building of the Panama canal. The aqueduct will cost $162,000,000 which is in excess of the estimated cost of the canal across the isthmus. The aqueduct will be GO miles in length. It will carry 30 times as much water as did the famous aqueductB of Rome combined. It will afford an outlet to 12 reservoirs constructed to hold the enormous flow of water from the various watersheds of the Catskills and adjacent hills. The Ashokan deservoir alone will have capacity of 17*0,000,000,000 gallons, or more than the three lakes of Killarney.

JANUARY 31 GOVERNMENT LOANS FOR AGRI CULTURISTS One of the measures urged upon the government by the deputation repre seating the Central Farmers' Institute of British Columbia In the interview with members of the cabinet last week was the Issuing of state loans to settlers. The proposal ls that the government should advance money to settlers at a low rate of interest to aid In the clearing of land and in the development of farms and ranches. The proposal is no new idea. In some of the states of Australia the scheme is in operation and on the continent of Europe Denmark has adopted the policy with success. Even in Canada state loans to settlers have more than once been suggested, but hitherto no government has thought It desirable to give effect to the plan. State loans to farmers was one of the planks of the provincial Conservative platform in Alberta previous to the last elections in that province, and in Manitoba and elsewhere the project has been broached, but without effect. The adoption of the project of the Central Farmers' Institute would he an Innovation so far as Canada is concerned that no government is likely to adopt without the most careful consideration and without being assured that there is an urgent need for the system proposed. There are objections to the government becoming the banker for any one specific class of the community to which due weight must necessarily be given. The institution of state loans to farmers might be followed by demands for the advancement of state funds to other classes of the community which it would be difficult to logically refuse and the government may well hesitate to take a step of so Hotel Men Look!

Phone 68 radical a nature and one which involves momentous consequences. The government has given the best of evidence of the deep interest that it takes in the agricultural industry and it is not likely to shirk any duty that conditions demand. To what extent state loans to farmers are required has not yet been made plain. Canada prides itself upon its banking system and it is the duty of the banks operating under Dominion charters to provide all reasonable demands for borrowing facilities. If the banks have failed In their duty so far as the agricultural industry Is concerned and if the Bottlers are handicapped in con sequence the government may be relied upon to step into the breach. The premier has promised the most careful consideration of the requests of the Farmers' Institute and the need for state banks for farmers will no doubt be Investigated. MR. SHUSTER IN LONDON There is always a section of the British public possessed of an invincible conviction that their country is in the wrong, and any critic of British foreign policy, Liberal or Conservative, ls sure of a following in London. It was quite to be expected, that Mr. W. Morgan Shuster should find himself on arrival at the capital of the empire something of a hero, and the enthusiastic reception that he received at the banquet at the Savoy hotel was by no means an extraordinary Incident. Mr. Shuster indeed has more of the stuff of which heroes are made than belonged to Arabl Pasha or to most of the transient leaders with whom Great Britain has come into conflict and who have in consequence had a brief hour of glorification by those who are convinced that any antagonist of Great Britain must be a martyr or a hero. Mr. Shuster Is probably sincere. He certainly has pluck, and his acute sense of the value of advertising has made him for the moment a picturesque figure In the eyes of the world. Unfortunately, Mr. Shuster was wrong, and his spectacular efforts misdirected. It was his business to reestablish the finances of Persia; he imagined that it was his duty to protect its, independence and to he the champion and savior of the decrepit administration of the Shah. He believed that Mr. Sinister, not the British and Russian legations, should be "the real governing force in PerBla." The British and Russian governments disagreed, and now Mr. Shuster has lost his job. In London he sheds a tear for the fate of Persia, now without his heroic services, and his fellow diners echo his lamentations and bemoan the tyranny of the British government. But the destiny of Persia may not be as dismal as Mr. Shuster in the hour of his mortification predicts. If the Persians exchange the corrupt despotism Oi' the Shah's government for the rule of Great Britain and Russia they need not complain. Russia, although Its home government Ib far from enlightened, has Bhown a faculty for the administration of oriental dependencies. And Great Britain has something of a record in that respec£. The administration of India compares somewhat favorably with the kinfl of government to which the people of Persia are accustomed.

For all kinds of keys (Continued from Paw OD0.) cation of the principle that as the public was paying Cor the commission it should liave the benefit of the information secured. He recognized, of course, that there might be necessity tor some special restriction. The prime minister rose to say that there was nothing new in the qualification as to secrecy contained in the bill. It was simply proposed to follow out the pi'actice established in the past. The resolution was then put through the committee Btage and the bill introduced and given a firBt reading. Explains Grain Act. On the second reading of the Grain act, Hon. G. E. Foster reviewed the various steps which had led up to the introduction of this legislation. The hill, he said, derives its importance from the subject with which it deals. It was based largely on the results of an Investigation commenced in 1906 hy a comimlssion named to report on the grain trade of Canada. That com mission traced the progress of wheat from the time it was sold by the farmer until lt reached Its destination in Europe, The commission produced a report which liaG not often been surpassed for compactness and clearness. It reported against a sample market and ln favor of strict supervision of terminal elevators privately owned. It recommended a closer supervision of eastern elevators in order to Insure the identity ot wheat. It suggested a number of amendments to the grain act. Last year a large deputation came to Ottawa and as a result of further conferences a bill was introduced in tbe senate and referred by that body to a special committee which heard all parties concerned. The bill finally passed the senate. Mr. Foster said •the bill now to be considered was the bill which passed the senate last session, with some betterments. Complex Restrictions, In considering the scope of this measure one was struck with the Idea that no other country in the world has a system of grain inspection so complex and thorough as Canada. No other commodity was surrounded by so many legal restrictions. Whether this waB for the best or not was matter of opinion, but it was certain tnat there was still a large body of opinion which desired additional regulations. After describing the protection given to the farmer in the sale and disposal of his crop, Mr. Foster said that it was intended by the bill to make the whole system as strong and thorough as it could he made. The main trouble which remained to be dealt with was one of transportation. It was a serious obstacle to the removal of the crop that for several months each year it could come out of the west over one line of rail way only. Serious conditions had arisen in the west this year and he was convinced that the railways had done their best, By patience and cooperation a solution of the difficulties would likely be brought about in due course. Expects Much of Panama. In another year or two the N. T. It., which would double the transportation facilities, would be complete. Later the C. N. R. would have a transcontinental Hne and in the course of u few yearB the Hudson's Bay railway would he built. He thought that there were great possibilities in tne proposal to ship grain from points as far east as Moose Jaw to Pacific waters. Much would be expected from this route once the Panama canal was complete. Dealing with the question of freight rates, the minister said that the railway commission was about to undertake an exhaustive examination of this matter and its findings, he believed, would result in a movement that would eliminate some of the existing grievances, Mr. Foster next proceeded to offer tiie suggestion that the farmers of the west should pay more attention to mixed farming. It was a Btrlking thing, he said, that out in the west, where there was land in abundance, the people were compelled to buy their meats, etc., in the east and to pay the heavy freight rates for having them brought to their homes. Will Appoint Commission. Mr. Foster dealt at some length with the manner in which it was proposed to work the scheme contained in the bill which he had Introduced. It was proposed, he said, to form a commission which would consist of three members. It would be as Independent aB a commission could possibly be. The government would try to secure men who were honest, capable and efficient, and who were possessed of organizing and executive ability, They would be empowered to construct elevators and to eliminate ub far as possible the selfish Interests •which In (the past had worked against the farmlers. At the evening session, Dr. Neily criticised the clauses of the bill, defining the powers of the commission which will control the terminal elevators. He Bald It did not fulfil the desires of the grain growers, who were anxious for a commission with powers similar to those possessed by the railway board. Under "the restrictions imposed there was too much reference to the governor in council. The hands of the commissioners were to be tied. What the farmers wanted. he said, was a board independent of the government, but responsible '■% parliament. Discuss Powers of Board.

Previous to the dissolution of the late parliament, Dr. Nelly was one of thoBe who wanted the house to pass the bill without any consideration. His only object, he thought. waB to embarrass the government. Dr. Nelly Insisted that a reference of all rules and regulations to the government would hamper the commls- |slon. Mr. Oliver said the bill should, as far as possible, conform to the ideal of the grain growers. He aald that it would probably be impossible to have an absolutely independent board. Mr. Foster agreed that It would be possible to give the commission too much power. He said it waa the intention of the government to give the commission as much freedom as possible. The decision to make appointments on the recommendation of the board was an evidence of the position of the government.* Mr. Oliver was Pncllned to think that, in view of the importance of the grain trade, the commissioners should be allowed to exercise a large measure of authority. Mr. Foster should consider the desirability of empowering the board to take action under conditions of stress without reference to Ottawa. That was the intention of the legislation proposed last year. J. A. M. Aikens argued that the board should not he a star chamber. It would be far better that the government of tiie day should have some control over the commission. Bill Is Non-Partisan. In concluding, Mr. Foster said that the hill was a non-partlzan one. It waa a product of a conference of all interested in the matter after successive years of study of the Question. It lent Itself to the honest support of men of all parties and he invited the co-operation of the opposition to make It as active and as far-reaching In its good results as possible. Hon.

Henry Chaplin and Austen Chamberlain Support Ulsterites In Battle for Continued Union LONDON, Jan. 30—Henry Chaplin, referring to the situation in Ulster congratulated Sir Edward Carson, Lord Londonderry and Ulstermen for their noble stand In the cause of union. He made It clear that despite the conspiracy to break up the constitution and emasculate the house of lords, home rule, without a direct mandate from the people, will never be carried without civil war ln Ireland. The govern ment forgot to reckon with the courage and patriotism of Ulster. In conclusion he said: "I believe the leaders of the Ulster party have killed home rule before Its birth and tbat it will be found still born." Following Mr. Chaplin, Austen Chamberlain said that if tbe claim for home rule was good, then the claim for separate treatment for Ulster was equally good. Account must be taken of the difference and of the history between the two sections of the Irish people or the home rule bill would be useless. The history of the Irish parliament was an inglorious one. It gave the people no peace or prosperity. "In short, there is no practical grievance to which they can point today that Justifies their demand for breaking partnership with the united parliament."

It is anticipated ■that the government may bring down a ■bill in the legislature enacting that form of taxation for villages. It is understood that nothing 1ms lieon decided as yet. The suggestion that single taxation be applied to villages has, however, met with considerable favor from some members of tbe cabinet. This would seem to be the next most logical move in the present trend in tho province .toward general single taxation. Edmonton has had it for some years. Calga-y will, through Its graduated reductions of 313 per cent annually, reach single taxation within a few years. Medicine Hat practically has accomnllBhed it. This means that within a few years all cities in the province will .be on the sing*, tnx 'basis and probably legislation to that effect will be Introduced Into the legislation in a year or two.

"David Harum" ls a character that will never grow tiresome. He Is such an interesting personality, hi*-* dry and subtle humor has made million's laugh and he ls as popular todav as he was a decade ago. His business motto apparently was, "Do unto the other fellow tlte way he would ■like to do you and do It first"; but bacc of tho rough exterior was a kind and loving heart that always responded to tho call of his fellow man In trouble or distress. He would rather make a $10 bill on a. horse trade than $100 in his bank, and no matter how dark an outlook he had a happy faculty of telling a little story that would bring a smile to the lips of those around him. The Jeanne Russell company have tho same version as used by William H. Crane and special scenery, so that each may bo properly presented. Ray Brandon will be seen as "David Harum," Jeanne RuBse-i as Mary Blake, the school teacher, and Margotr Beaton as the dear old Widow Col lorn. MARKETS WINNIPEG MARKET DULL.

CASTLE SQUARE ENTERTAINERS AT TRINITY CHURCH TOMORROW The entertainment to be given in the Methodist church tomorrow night promises to be one of the most successful affairs of its kind that Nelson has seen for some time. The Castle Square entertainers are receiving most favorable notice wherever they visit and many people are looking forward with pleasurable anticipation to the con cert. Tlte profits are to b"e devoted to the organ fund and it Is expected that a large number will avail themselves of this opportunity of hearing this exceptional company. The following extract from the Jamestown, N.D. Capital, speaks for itself: "Furnishing a relaxation from the usual heavy numbers of lyceum bourses and much of the present day entertainment, ns well as from the routine of the -day's duties, the Castle Square entertainers at the opera house Friday night were probably the most pleasing of any number of the lyceum courses that will come to this city this season. From start to finish the evening's entertainment was ono that would appeal to everyone with equal force. Those who were in an attitude to enjoy an entertainment that was intensely interesting and at the same time a recreation, spent an unusually pleasant evening. Although much of the entertainment was genuinely funny, there was not a moment during the entire evening when it dropped from its high standard of cleanliness and real worth. To discuss separate numbers would he to spoil the whole, as Its success depended largely on the great variety of entertainment. The imitations that ran through the program were among the best ever Been and heard here and called forth a great deal of laughter from every part of the house and prolonged applause. There was no one 'in the audience, regardless of his taBte or training for music, hut waa sorry when the program came to an end." .MAYOR FACES CORRUPTION CHARGE IN PORTLAND PORTLAND, Me., Jan. 30—On complaint of six citizens Oakley C.

The proceedings under the complaint do not constitute criminal action, the only penalty being the invalidation of the municipal election and the debarring of the convicted persons from holding public office for a time. Should the supreme court sustain the complaint, however, the charges probably would be laid before tho May grand jury and if the defeudants wore then indicted and convicted they would be liable, under the provisions of the new law, to fine and Imprisonment.
