Uodolphe Lemieux, who with their friends from Montreal and elsewhere to tbe number of seyeral thousand held a demonstration at St. Clot in the county of Sotilnnges. Reciprocity was In the air while lhe devices we_\e "Down with the trusts and larger markets." Sir Wiiifrid told hls hearers that Canada had 250,000,000 buahels of grain to export and as .the time would come when England could not take this surplus a market must be found elsewhere. Ills government had offered a market hut the present rulers of Canada wore responsible for the people's refusal to find u substitute, which he Intimated was to the south of us. Sir Wilfrid gave an abflolute denial to thc statement mnde by Mr. Bourassn to tlie effect that he had signed a secret agreement with the Imperial authorities as to thc disposition of lhe Canadian fleet in time of war. lie had been In conference with the foreign office nnd no agreement was signed, that had not been openly admitted to patilu- ment.

The old lender spoke of a change in the leadership, although he said that each time he had suggested retirement bis friends Insisted that the old man was wanted at the head of the party. He had, however, reached an nge when the future Is uncertain, yet he feljf: he could successfully defy his opponents. As to the naval policy of lhe present govornmem the Liberal leader declined to pronounce himself before the prime minister had made known his policy.

(Ry Dally News Lensed Wire.) OTTAWA, Sept. 15.—United States 1,720, Canada 1,712. United States retains the Palma trophy, emblematic of International championship In rifle sihooling. i Saturday's match at Rockliffe was a bard one for lhe Canadians to lose. It wns without doubt, the most exciting and evenly contested loam match ever fought out, each making over 1.700 points. The small margin of 12 points separated tbe teams with Canada at the losing end. It was anybody's match from start to finish. There was no great difference between them as on the last occasion when the Americans ran nway with the honors. On Saturday tho teams were so evenly matched that the result was decided by one piece of bad luck which befell tbe Canndinns. It hnppenori in the 1)00 yards range when Sergt. Kelly of the 100th Royal Grenadiers, one nf Canada's very best crack shots, broke, dropping 13 points in one'range and helped to convert Canada's lead, which nt the completion of hnlf tbe shooting •it that distance was throe points, into an American load at the end of Ihls range of seven points. It happened.In this wny: The riflemen In this match were* permitted to fire two shots each Into tbo ground before starting. While doing this some dust flew Into Kelly's rlgli1! eye. In getting it out be irritated the organ so. much he decided he bad better protect it with an ortbo- scopic. He shot the range* with this' iin find only made fi2 points out of 75. He was nine points below any other Canadian on his range. It was only then he learned that the orthoscnple was badly bent and bad given the wrong perspective all the time. During the luncheon hour he gave bis eye a rest and came back in the 1.000 yards with a score of 70 out of 75 and in the SOO he made 73 out of 75. It wns therefore, clear that this unfortunate accident hnd at least cost the Canadians 7 or 8 points. Without the accident It is very doubtful who would have won tho match.

Ross was ono of the speakers before the forestry convention recently held In Victoria. His speech was of much interest and dealt largely with forestry- preservation In British Columbia. He said: The Forestry Commission. , The forward movement for the systematic organization *of forest work In this province began with the appointment by the present government of a forestry commission, consisting of Mr. Fulton, the minister then in charge of the lands department; A. S. Goodeve, who has recently been appointed a member of the railway commission, and A. C. Flumerfelt, who, I nm glad to say, is present with us today. This commission conducted a thorough inquiry Into local condition, ascertained what was being done in oilier parts of the continent, and submitted its recommendations as to the way In which our British Columbia rorests should be managed in a report with which you are doubtless familiar. This report renched the government somewhat over 18 months ago, shortly after I had been invited to join the cabinet as minister of lands, nnd the consideration of It was ono of my first official duties. The session of 1011 followed immediately aftorwnrds, and It was not until tho spring thut constructive work could be begun. An Emergency Met. The two main questions to bo dealt with were tbe preparation of new legislation and thc organization of a forest service, for both of which consld: erable time and thought were required. , There was, however, a matter of .immediate, urgency, namely, the enlargement of the fire warden service for the dry season then approaching. The year 1910 had been disastrous throughout the west and though the greater part of our province had suffered less from fire than many of the western states, the appalling destruction In southern British Columbia had opened our eyes to the need for vigorous action. For the season of 1011 the force of wardens was therefore doubled, the 110 fire districts wero grouped into 10 divisions in charge of inspectors, nnd these inspectors were supervised through offices established nl Nelson Vancouver and Victoria. Money can be wanted more quickly through poor Judgment In the fighting of a forest ftre than In any other form of public work, nnd the only way to eliminate such waste is by frequent and netive Inspection. It was to the increased supervision that we were able to give to the patrol force, and the larger number of men on duty, that tho economical handling ot our fires in 1911 was partly due, though, of eourse. the weather in most parts of thc province helped us greatly as well. The 257 fires thot we fought that season cost us only $30,000: the upkeep of the patrol force costing another $112,000. Preliminary Work, Forest protection for the current year having thus been provided for, the drafting of the legislation and thc search for suitable men for the staff of the future forest service were put In hand. This latter matter was one of considerable difficulty, for forestry Is a profession that has only come to the front in recent years, the number of men who have taken it up is com* para tl veiy small, and it wus by no means easy to find trnined men who. in addition to their technical knowledge, possessed the sound judgment that comes from years of practical experience. Our forests- have an immense Importance to the province from every point of view, and we felt that every possible effort should be made to secure the very best men available to manage them. After the most elaborate search we had the'good fortune last December to secure the assistance of Overton Price. Mr. Price, us most people know, being tbo man who organized the admirably efficient United States forest service In conjunction with Mr. Pincbot. In referring to Mr. Price, I must express our great regret that a serious illness in his family prevents his attendance hero todny In his capacity of consultant forester to this government. The Forest Act. In January last the forest bill wns introduced before tbe legislature and formed one of the main features of th**' session. Containing as It does a revision of the numerous acts lhat previously had dealt separately with one feature or another of forest administration, together with a good deal of new material, It Is a somewhat bulky document of over 50 pages, and I can do no more than direct the attention of this convention tn one or two points that will be referred lo in the course of this paper. The forest act. became law just six months ago, and created tbe new forest branch of my department, supported by a vote of $160,000, which, with the $230,000 contributed by holders of limber licenses nnd leases, by owners of timber lands, nnd by the government- to the forest protection fund, will bring the total sum available up to $390,000 for the present fiscal year. The Forest Branch. Provided with legislative nuthnrlly and the necessary funds, we set to work this spring to lay down the lines on which the new service could best bo organized. It was decided, in the end, to divide it into four main sections—the office of operation undertaking forest protection and land classification; the logging, scaling, the prevention of trespass und similar matters; the offiee of records being in charge of all money matters, license and lease records, publicity, supplies, and so forth; while Ibe office of sur- eys would be responsible for the general stocktaking of tbe* forest resources of the province that we nre so anxious to complete as soon as possible. Though experienced men to take over eneh of these sections bad been secured and had been engaged in Investigation work since Aprfl, It was June before the organization plans were finally approved, and mid-July before our chief forester, had nrrived and taken up his duties. You will therefore understand thnt I am unable at thls'con- ventlon to point to what we have done in the way of field work or to give interesting information or statistics concerning our British Columbia for ests. The work has been vigorously begun, nnd I can only tell you what we are doing and what we expect to achieve. Organization. Starting from the obvious truth that forest laws, regulations, government policies and all the varieties of office work connected with the forests are vain and useless theories unless there exists an efficient forest service to give practical effect to them In the field, we are concentrating our attention first of nil upon the organization of such a service. Up to now there have been a number of independent staffs dealing each with a different form of forest work. For purposes sueh as the supervision of cutting, the collection of royalties and the prevention'of Ires- .puss,, the province ..has been, divided into five parts; for sealing purposes into two; for forest protection, during the past season, into 15. The timber inspection staff has hnd no connection with the forest protection service, nor the latter wilh the seating staff: and a heavy percentage of working paw has consequently heen lost. Moreover, the staff concerned with forest protection bus been a temporary one. engaged ench spring and discharged each fall, a circumstance which has not been In the interest of steady development. Our administration, In fact, is at the present moment In much the same di: connected condition as that of thc federal forests of the United States prior to lhe introduction of the district system of organization under Mr. Pinchot in 190.S; and we are now at work recasting it upon much the same lines as those which have proved so thoroughly effective in the United States. Plans nre now being drafted for the amalgamation irito one service of the present staffs, and for the cutting up of the province into a number of convenient divisions, each of which will be a-complete unit for ovrry form of forest work. This plan will enable us to give far closer attention to the needs of each locality, and everyone who knows thc woods will readily un* derstand that one interesting result of closer inspection will be a substantial increuse to the public revenue that will do a great deal more than offset any extra expense that may be incurred. As you know, 9,000.ftOO acres of for est In tliis province arc subject to cutting rights hfld by llceneecs, nearly 3,000,000 acres more ure under lease or in^ private ownership, while un un- kmwnferea.which we ure beginning to hjnk is much larger than has been hilierto supposed remains In reserve in %B"1»nflH**6f the government. No syste-m&tio- examination of these enormous areas has ever been nl tempted, and yet until we know what timber we have got and where It Is, we cannot tell wholher our way of handling It in sound business. Moreover, quite apart from tbe forestry side of the. matter, we need to find out where timber lands end and agricultural land begins in each district, and also where timber Is standing on agricultural land, before my department can tell how to deal with applications to purchase and preempt; and this information can only be obtained at present by tbe expensive and dilatory method of sending out men to make special examinations whenever the need arises. These considerations show you why we are now beginning the stocktaking of our forest resources. At the present moment eight parties are in the field In charge of competent men, nearly all of whom began their careers by graduating either from the Toronto or the Oxford forest schools. The survey work is being concentrated at first, to some extent, fn the regions north of the railway belt that will soon be opened up by the new transcontinental lines of the Grand Trunk Pncific and Canadian Northern railways, tn order that our forest maps of these regions may be available In advance of settlement. The general survey we are aiming to complete In a "little over three years from now, and I need not point out how useful the results will be, not only for the administration of my department, but nlso for operators, investors and the public generally. Other Work of the Forest Branch. Since the end df 1907 no timber has been alienated by|the government and, while making provision for timber sales In the forest act last, session, 1 was most anxious, to avoid burdening the new stuff with much detail work of this description' during the important organizing period of this year. The only sales we are putting in hand at present are those ot small areas of timber that operators are anxious to take out whilo working on adjoining land, there being no question as to the desirability of disposing of these. Another duty falling to the forest branch is that of land classification. We have such enormous areas in this province that are extraordinarily fit— and fit only-—for the growing of timber, that every effort should be made to cut out from our timber reserves as soon as possible all land suitable for agriculture. Forest assistants with technical training have therefore been assigned to the examination of cut- over timber limits and leases in order Hint our depurtmentul action may be based on accurate information. Fraudulent attempts to secure timber lands under cover of the land act will be balked by similar examinations. In the short time at my disposal I can but mention a few of the other matters that are receiving attention; for rnstuhce; flic to'ittafnutioiToi: certain regions In the interior where it is feared that the forest Is falling to reproduce Itself; the special study by trained men Into the effects and defects of.,the' log scales in use in the province; for ■motion, .tjiat .w,l}l .advertise our Colyj-pljjp , Umbers und our e. publishing of reliable In- our Brit- forest industr^Y.'phc study of waste in all its fprfli^,.and the campaign of publicity that we consider the most valuable, In fact, the fundamental means of combatting the public carelessness that Is chiefly responsible for the fire danger. And this, gentlemen, brings me again to that Important phase of our'-,Jfbrlo—forest protection. The Forest Protection Fund. 1 have already mentioned the fact that we practically doubled the fire warden force for the season of 1911. The government at this time was carrying on the work at the public expense, and lt was very generally agreed lhat owners and holders of timber lands ought to be required to contribute their proper share. The forest act therefore established the forest protection fund, to which all owners, lessees and Hcencees of timber lands are required to contribute, tbe government putting up dollar for dollar. The standard levy Is one cent per acre, with lhe proviso that whenever this proves insufficient to meet the annual expenditure there shall be an automatic increase to whatever figure may bo necessary.

By October 1 forest protection will have cost this year under $180,000. Refunds from the G. T. P. of half the expense of patrol and fire fighting in the regions traversed by their contractors will reduce tbe amount chargeable to the forest protection fund by $9,000 or $10,000 nnd as the Income of the fund is about $230,000, tliere Will remain available for Improvement work In the autumn a sum of about $00,000. Disposal of Debris. I have watched with great interest the controversy that hns raged in other provinces and states as to whether operators should or should not be compelled to burn or otherwise dispose of lumbering slush. The solution adopted by us has been to leave the matter In lhe hands of the forest service, which Is empowered io deal with this slash at the expense of the forest protection fund so as to favor the growth of the new crop of timber and to give it as much protection as possible against fire. Tbls work and the clearing up of dangerous debris alongside the public roads and in other specially. dangerous localities will necessitate a slash burning campaign in many portions of the province. Experiments already made by us in this line have proved most successful. Education of Public Opinion. We art; all conscious of the remarkable change that has taken place In public opinion with regard to fo-"-*-'' fires. Ten years, ago people In tho west looked upon the burning uf entire Watersheds as a natural alteration in the scenery that went with railway construction, mining or land clearing us a matter of course. There was a good deal of wagging of heads at such wholesale destruction, hut the proven-' tlon or controlling of forest . fires seemed tp be too big an undertaking, and there was consequently a general feeling of helplessness In the matter. That was so even five or six years ago. Today lh this province there is an outcry if precautions are not taken to prevent fires In places where dangerous conditions exist, and when fires occur people expect the fighting of them to be organized promptly, and look for Just as much money tb be expended as tho circumstances require Public opinion, in other words, has been educated to higher standards, and this result has been accomplished almost entirely by the steady publicity that forest protection has received through the press, through public speaking, through the efforts of forestry associations, and through the enforcement of the permit law and other local work. Waste in Logging. Six years ago we in this province felt powerless to prevent the annual waste by fire; today we see our way with confidence. If one great problem can thus be solved, why not another? Today, for Instance, each million feet of lumber manufactured on the Pacific coast means the wholesale butchery of law-grade material for which our operators, can find no market. Other waste there Is that is preventable, for example, the Using of high-class material In the woods for purposes for which inferior timber would suffice, and the cutting of lumber into even lengths only, on.account of which trade practice investigation shows that 2 per cent Is lost; but before the main problem of the low-grade log we are as helpless today as we were regarding fire protection a few years ago. I look to co-operation between the operators of this province and the forest service In order that this disease of waste that affects our forests may be studied as carefully as doctors study human diseases and that every possible way of improving matters be discovered and mude use of. Time forbids that I should say more on this occasion and I will confine myself to emphasizing one final point. Tho conservation movement hits succeeded In muklng the public realize that, region by region, and state by state, many of the forests of this continent nre being cut out. It is human nature for people to console themselves with the thought that tbe forests will last tholr time and that nothing much can be done. I think that It Is just here that the failure to give people a real interest in forest business has occurred. There have been too many glittering generalities; too much talk of benefitting posterity. Thus It comes that the average timber owner would us soon think of allowing what he Imagines is meant by "forestry" to interfere with the practical handling of his limits as be would permit the science .of., eugenics to dictate to him whom'lie should mnr- ry. He, and I am afraid tbe public with him, think of "forestry'' as something theoretical, like Gel-many philosophy, that Is out of touch with the hard facts of life today. What we need to drive Into the understanding of the people is that "forestry" as we practice It meuns the scientific management of the government's immense timber business so that the citizen who would otherwise have to pay $15 In taxes has only to pay $10; so that in years to come the citizen will have to pay still less; so that while producing these effects on revenue the system of forest finance will be so nd justed us to offer the maximum of encouragement to tbe growth of the lumbering Industry; and above all olher considerations, so that out* forest capital, the source of our prosperity, may be preserved Intact, $10 « Have You Ten Dollars? $10/ For $10 down and $5 per month you can buy a good lot from $75 up.

(liy Dully News -Leased Wire.) BERLIN, Sept. 14,—Germany's meal famine has reached a stage where the government has been compelled to discuss some action owing to the fear of serious popular disturbances, The markets in Silesia this week have been the scenes of violent combats between the farmers and buyers, the poorer classes, especially in the mining districts, believing the government refuses to permit the cheapening of meats In order to oblige the junker caste—that is, the agrarian, noblemen with big estates. The popular wrath is vented even upo.n the small farmers, who suffer from inability to obtain cheap imported fodder for their cattle. In some Sicilian towns the markets are stormed by gangs of women infuriated by the prices of country provisions. They smashed up thousands of. dollars worth of fresh eggs and hurled vegetables at the retailers' heads. When a few peasants tried to interfere the women seized them and either ducked them in the nearest pond or plunged them head downward Into barrels ol eggs, Finally the police, with drawn sabres, cleared the market places. At Wednesday's markets the stalls In all the principal markets were guarded hy one policeman ta each stall. Six thousand five hundred and fifty- six horses were killed and pn sited for food by the city Inspector during the first six months of the year in Berlin nlone. Berlin owners are looking anxiously after their cats, whieh thin year are being killed fur food instead of merely for their skins, ns in most years. Trades unions in several of the mining districts of Westphalia have boy.- cotted the meats altogether and the butchers in the poorer qunrters have been compelled to close their shops The government fears the approaching elections for the Prussian parliament will-occasion serious rioting unless the angry electors nre pacified, but the real reason why the government Is loath to open the frontiers to frozen meat Is less its anxiety to propitiate land proprietors for fear of "-their open thrents to oust Chancellor Bethmann von Hellweg, as tbey ousted Hohen- lobe, Caprlvi and Buelow, than anxiety lest it should never'again'* be possible to close the doors to cheap meat without causing rioting in all the big cities. MURDEROUS FIRE ON PROVINCIAL ASSEMBLY (By Daily News' Leased Wire.) PEKING, Sept. 15.—Parliamentary life in China is no joke;'as may be judged from the recent experience of tlie members of the provincial assembly of Honun. This body was engaged In peaceful deliberations one morning at the end of July When the hall waa suddenly entered by a band of miscreants who opened an indiscriminate revolver fire upon the members, The assembly buildings at Kaifeng are situated in a large compound In a comparatively populous part of the city. The hall where the members sit Is rectangular, the seats being arranged lengthwise, facing the rostrum occupied by the president or speaker. Access Is obtained by doors at each ond More than 70 members were present on the morning in question, when five men entered one of the doors and opened fire with revolvers, emptying their weapons apparently blindly Into the mass of seated figures, the president only being particularly fired at He dropped below his desk, escaping by a miracle, as the murks of the bullets on the wall in line with his seat prove. The members In a body rushed to the opposite door of the hull, tumbling over chnlrs and tables in their haste.

PETITION MINISTER TO STOP EXPULSION OF JEWS (By Daily News Leased Wire.) ODESSA, Sept. 16.—The Odessa, bourse committee, a corporation which is by. no meuns judeophlle In sentiment, has petitioned the Russian minister of the interior to stop the expulsion of .lews from the villages in the. govornmont of IChenion. Tha. petition-; ers point oul the grievous hardship*, inflicted upon the expelled Jews against whom the communal authorities prefer no complaint of any kind. They are admittedly law-abiding, sober, industrious and friendly. The majority of them are small landholders and petty traders and the very brief terms of .grace accorded by the expul- sory- rescripts' compel them to dispose of their holdings and liquidate their busfness at ruinous loss. It Is not thought likely that the bourse committee's petition or those from other corporate bodies will have the desired effect. The minister of the interior's policy of ridding the "pale'1 villages of their Jewish elements Is controlled by the premier, M. Kokovtsoff, and thc latter is simply putting into active operation an anti-Semitic procedure designed by his predecessor, the late M. Stolypln. The development of M. Stolypln's policy of tho Russlflcatlon of Russian trade and commerce will very gravely affect the Jewish merchants, bankers, grain exporters and other trades In southern Russia, If M.

' LADIES PLAY " BRILLIANT TENNIS Lady Champion of Canada Wins Singles—West Scotland Champion Wins Mens' Singles. (By Dally News Leased Wire.) TORONTO, Sept. 15.—Final games ln tbe Ontario tennis championship were played yesterday nnd some good tonnitf resulted. Robert Balrd of the tennis club, present holder of the Ontario title In singles and winner this year on his visit to the old country of the West Scotland championship, defeated R. A. Burns, his club mate and cx-champion of Ontario. Burns three or four year ngo was considered the most brilliant of the champion players. He at that time defeated some of the cracks, always making a good showing In the International championships. In the singles for thc ladies, Miss Moyes, present Canadian champion, beat Miss Fairbalrn in a very close nnd exciting match. Miss Fairbalrn has been out of the game practically all of the first half of the summer, but competed In Buffalo and Cleveland tournaments recently and has rounded into even better than old form. A. W. Gobert, the ox-French champion, who was expected to play was unable to come from Montreal. He was ill early In the summer, being unable to take part in the French tournament. ' No Americans were entered this year and all players outside of the Toronto club members were defeated in the early stages. There were three first class games in the men's doubles. The ladies' singles, however, attracted the bife-gest gallery, when Miss Moles and Miss Fairbalrn did a more brilliantly contested match In some respects than the mon. Their first game In the first set resulted In a tie score of 3-3, which was typical of their piny throughout. Miss Fairbalrn won the first set 6-4. Miss Moyos won the first game of the second set and finished thc set 6-5 In her favor. Both ladles played a driving game way out from the net. As the persistent changes continued Miss Moycs steiuly nerves seemed to assume the oscendancy, but Miss Fairbalrn succeeded by brilliant flashes In holding the champion closely. It wns five all at one stage nf the second set. Miss MoyCF made It 6-5 by a brilliant back hand half volley on the back line and the set finished 7-5 in favor of Miss Moyes. The final game was anybody's up to the last, but Miss Moyes won out 6-2. AUTOMOBILE MILE RECORD BROKEN THREE TIMES fBy DellV News Tjeaseii Wire.)

FOSTER, Editor and Manager. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16 LET ALL HELP. i Today will lie started a campaign to increase the membership of the Y. M C. A. in this city to at least 500, the number required to place thc Institution on a paying basis. Having ln mind the character of the work of the V. M. C. A. and its usefulness to the male population of the city, particularly the boys and young men, there should be little difficulty in this. Most praiseworthy enterprise has been shown in the erection, equipment and conduct of the institution, and as a result, Nelson has a Y. M. C. A. second to none in any city of Canada of equal population. Everything possi- Vle has been done to provide and furnish a building that is a credit to all connected with it and to supply facilities for recreation, sport and self-advancement thnt should appeal to the ihale youth of thc city. Uut to make the Institution the success it should be and to enable it to do the work for which it Is intended, requires enthusiastic public support. The largest possible membership Is necessary, not only that the Y. M. C. A. may be of the greatest possible service, but also that It may be placed and kept upon a proper financial footing. It is with this double purpose in view that the directors have decided upon a three-day campaign In which to raise the membership to at least COO and as many more as can he secured. Tho directors are showing their earnestness and their enterprise in this matter as in others. All that remains is for the public to back up their efforts and do its duly toward an institution In which practically ev* ery person in Nelson feels more or less of a proprietary interest and of which all are justifiably proud. STILL PREACHING RECIPROCITY FALLACIES. Speaking at a meeting in Quebec Saturday Sir Wilfrid Laurier made it clear beyond any question that he is stih an advocate of reciprocity. He said we want a larger market and that market Is the United States. What he meant in saying this, according to despatches, was lhat a larger market for Canada's grain is wanted and that the larger market should be the United States. Sir Wilfrid says that Canada will have two hundred and fifty million bushels of grain to export this year and adds that the lime will come when England will not b<? ab|e to take all our surplus and upmarket must be found elsewhere. In what he says in respect to this matter, Sir Wilfrid affords another instance of his absolute lack uf acknowledge nf practical business and of tho facts of lhe case. In the first place the United Stales does not offer the larger market for Canadian wheat that the ex-premier says is necessary, for that country is itself, and will continue for many years at least to be, a grain exporting nation. In the next place Canada will not have this year nor for many years to come. 250,000,- 000 bushels of wheat to export. Anil thirdly, it will be a long time before the old country market for Canadian wheat becomes exhausted. A few facts taken from official sources are interesting when considering Sir Wilfrid's remarks ou reciprocity. In 1810, the last year for which returns arc at the moment available, Great Britain imported 196.415,- 501 bushels of wheat of which Canada supplied 30,705,173 bushels and the United States 20,437,1(80 bushels. Of the total imports for the year, Canada Included, the outlying portions of the empire supplied 80,816,7111 bushels and forolgn countries, the United States Included, 106,598,800 bushels. It may bc added that in the year in which Canada shipped 30,705.173 bushels of wheat to the old country, her total production of wheat was 145.001.418 bushels, the difference with the ceptlon of 3,000,000 bushels shipped to various foreign countries, being required for home consumption, seed, etc. It will be seen that Great Britain Is Canada's best wheat customer and that there is still room for development in that market and it mily nine be observed that the United States, which Sir Wilfrid Laurier says offers Canada a larger market for her wheat, is not only not importing wheat but is actually competing with the Dominion In the old country market and is running her a close race in the amount supplied. In view of the facts do not Sir Wilfrid's words on the subject smack of a lack of knowledge and of failure to grasp a problem In practical business that should bo patent to the most ordinary- mind. LOTS EDITORIAL NOTES. Mrs. Pethlck Lawrence says a victory for woman suffrage In Canada would be most helpful to thc militants In the old country. The militants will wait a long time for that help. Saturday's fracas on the football field at Belfast brings back memories of old times to Ireland and seems to demonstrate the strength of feeling being engendered hy the Home rule agitation. New Westminster can again read its title clear to thc Minto cup so far as the west is concerned. That It will still be able to do so after meeting lhe champions of the east will be the hope of every British Columbian. uf tliiFfl-rWP'I^WI'o for the purpose of» representing to their governments upon the general situation of the country, traveling in one of llie steamers of the American Presbyterian mission which wilfj hired for the purpose. t Upon th-jfcatufe of their reports, the paper says^ttll largely depend the acts of the British and American governments wlthMcfcijfd to the formal recognition uf the Belgian annexation. Reforms have been.'in operation fur iwo years in one part of the Congo, for one year ta another, while in a third one ol the reforms was Inaugurated July last The Belgian government must now meet the demands for reforms. In im portnnt particulars, except lhe land question, which was recently tho sub jeet of an Influentially signed nrllcle to Sir Edward Grey, that the condi tlon of the Congo has vastly Improved Is acknowledge on all lines. The Improvement tn the main Is undoubtedly due to the abandonment nf the central policy of the Congo, of lhe estate government, which was based upon a claim to ownership over the natural produce of tho country, the native pop ulation being compelled to collect this produce, chiefly rubber, for the gov ernment nnd concessionaries, and were tleha'rred from disposing of it for Hade purposes. It is still alleged against the present administration in some narts that mer chants are being kept out of the country owing to the vexatious impost, unfair treatment and the tax in sliver coinage imposed upon natives in lieu of the old rubber tax, which gives rise In some districts to considerable hardship and is much higher in its incidence than it should be. Upon these and kindred allegations the consuls' inquiries may be exnected to throw necessary light. Sir Edward Grey has repeatedly stated that recognition of thc annexed territory will be withheld until his majesty's government is in a position to lay before parliament and the country reports satisfactory In character from the British consular slaff.

HISTORIC CASTLES SOLD BY AUCTION Many Fine Old Places Are Being Lost to'British Nation, Declares Standard. (From tbe London Standard.) The announcement that Maiden castle, thc largest and most perfect specimen of a Celtic fortress in existence, Is to be sold by auction on Monday next is another reminder of tin: uncertain tenure on which we hold our. historical monuments and buildings of interest. Maiden castle, which stands some two miles from Dorchester, is an enormous earthwork covering an area of 115 acres, the enclosure within the steep ramparts, some 60 feet In height,*, measuring 45 acres, and so well did the workers carry mi their task wilh their horn picks und stone or bronze hatchets, that the "castle" Is still In a perfect stale of preservation. But unless public subscription or private EYES What I Will Do For advertising privileges, which I do not ask of other patients, I will, during this week, give my services without further consideration to seven persons as follows: One case of crossed eyes, In, out, up or down.

Curiously enough, another historic ruin-, Hastings castle, is to come under the hammer within the next few days, to the consternation of the townsfolk, who arc apprehensive lest the ancient remains he transplanted to thc- pleasure grounds of some millionaire across the Atlantic. Such a situation would be impossible in Italy or Prance, for Instance. where stringent regulations arc in force to preserve similar relics of the past and the rights of private owners to sell such possessions arc strictly curtailed. In England, through the trustees oi the national art collection fund, much has been done towards retaining for thc nation choice masterpieces whicii have aroused the enthusiasm of American and other collectors. But evidently architectural remains do not exercise a very strong hold on the public imagination, so tiiat the responsibility for their preservation rests oh private Individuals, the Society for the Protection nf Ancient Buildings, or tbe national trust for places of hi torical interest or natural beauty. Suggested Legislation. Maiden castle would come within the scope of the lust named body, but as the secretary pointed Out yesterday, the trust Is nut possessed of unlimited funds out of which any place of historical interest or natural beauty which Is iu danger of being lost to the nalion may bc purchased at a moment's notice, in every case an appeal for the necessary funds has to be made on the public, and it does not seem probfi ble that such a course is to be followed in the present Instance. It hns been suggested that the matter might lie dealt with by legislation and various societies drafted nn ancient monument bill, which, together with a government measure and one intrn- duced by a private member, haw been PURE DRUGS IS OUR MOTTO All Drugs used In dispensing your doctor's prescription are absolutely pure. .."-""" We Never Substitute You are safe when you leave your prescriptions here.

If a measure, based on tlie lines of the societies' bill were passed into law the commissioner of works would bo given powers which would rentier Impossible such acts as the destruction nt tho Tattcrshall castle manllepleco or the removal of tbe globe room from Banbury. On the other hand, there is a general disposition among English owners to object to state interference, iind when the matter was discussed some tlmo ago very strong protests were lodged against any form of inquisition into private belongings. But though it is true that there Ib no law to prevent the removal of Stone- henge from the country, .and lhat many priceless examples of architecture are in the possession of private individuals, It is generally admitted that these regard themselves, to a very largo extent, as the trustees of the nation, and If it were not for tho activity of private owners many of our monuments would have disappeared altogether.

LONDON, Sept. 15.—William Watson, thc poet, takes up the cudgels lor L'Ister versus home rule. H1b latest work,' entitled "Ulster's Reward," appears in the London Times and runs as follows: What Is the wage the faithful earn? What Is a recompense fair and meet? Trample their fealty under feet, That is a fitting and just return. Flout them, buffet them, over them ride, Fling them aside. Lister Is ours to mock and spurn, Ours to spit upon, ours to deride And let it be known and blazoned wide That this .is the wage the faithful earn. Did she uphold us when others defied? Then fling her aside. Oh! when has constancy firm and deep Been proved oft, yet held so cheap. She had only asked that none should sever, None should divorce ns, nothing divide, She only asked to be ours forever, And this was denied. This was tho prayer of thc heart of Ulster To them that repulsed her And flung her nside. When in thc world was such payment tendered for service rendered? Her faith has been tested, her love has been tried, And ail that she begged was with lis to abide, she proffered devotion in boundless store, Hut that is a thing men prize no more And fling* it back in her face, they cried: "Let us open the door, and fling her outside." Where on tho earth wns the like or it done in the gaze of the sun? She had pleaded and prayed to he be counted still. Still as one of our household through good and ill. And with scorn they replied, Jeered at her loyalty, trod on her pride; Spurned her. repulsed her, Great-hearted Ulster, Flung her aside.

(By Dally News Leased ' Wire.) LONDON, Sept. 15.— Rumor is again busy with one of England's leading statesmen, who once before has had to have recourse to law to protect him* self against whal judge and jury pro nounced to be slanderous attacks. Curiously enough, the stories whicii arc nuw current are more or less a revival of those which were referred to in tin- courts something over a year ago. The woman In tho ease--for It Is a case In which a woman figures—is, accordtii£ to the^most common version, the same whose, name was whispered, but nevei openly mentioned In the legal proceedings. Another story has it thai a young American actress, who has been tndlt* lug occasional appearances on the London stage for a few years past, Is thr object of the politician's attentions. Under ordinary circumstances gossip of this kind would neither merit nor receive attention, but In this particular case thero nre exceptional features. First of all, tho re ports are receiving -such wide spread circulation Hint It will not long remain possibly to Ignore them In clubs and drawing rooms, It might almost be said In the streets, men and women discuss this matter as only next In interest to the weather.

He did not like the crowding in the house and he did not like leaving his wife while he had to £o a long way off to work. When his wife* was ill he did not ask for a doctor because he thought it was a rule that the community did not provide doctors. He made up Iiis mind to leave anil all ho got from the community .was a sack of flour and half a sack of potatoes. He had no money ut all. He was willing to obey the registration laws. He complained because ho had put in $255 which ho had earned outside the community. He had put all that In but bad not had-anything; back. Crossexamlned by Mr. Johnson, lie said, he understood the principle of community ownership. The villages in Saskatchewan were dependent upon the Central community.

W. A. Jowett, who was recently appointed stipendiary magistrate with headquarters at Tele Jaime Cache, leaves to night lo commence his official duties. Mr. Jowett told a Daily News representative that apart from a little weakness he feels no ill effects from the serious operation be underwent in St. Joseph's hospital Victoria about six weeks ago, and Is looking forward to his new undertaking with great pleasure. While at Ihe coast, Mr. Jowctt spent a few days looking around Victoria and he was greatly impressed with thc rapid strides the place is making. Since he was there two years ago many splendid roadways have been completed and quite a number of important buildings have been erected, among them being several 8 nnd 10- story business blocks and apartment houses. In Victoria ■ he met several old time Nelson friends who are now in the real estate business. They report splendid business all round. Railway extension on the island has given an increased Impetus and property is changing hands rapidly, while values are advancing considerably. The new government building is going on apace and the people are looking forward lo the coming visit of the Duke of Connaught who will lay the foundation stone. Both the C, P. R- and Canadian Northern arc spending large sums In railway construction and in a few years many points will be opened up. While many old friends have expressed their regret that Mr. Jowett is leaving Nelson, he loo very much regrets that he is compelled to sever his connection with the Nelson male voice choir and his other musical connections In the city. Mr. Jowett bad hoped that this winter he would have been able to start an oratorio society here and he would like very much to see the idea developed. When the Royal Welsh male choir recently visited Nelson, their leader spoke In highly complimentary terms of the Nelson male choir. He thought they had Hie nucleus of one of the finest choirs in the country and If tlie choir was increased to about GO voices, could achieve far greater results thnn It had previously accomplished. It is 20 years ago since Mr. Jowett settled permanently in Nelson. At that time the population was between five and six hundred.

Mr. Jowett retired from real estate in 1807 and since has been more or less interested in mining, He became editor of The Nelson Miner about two years before the outbreak of the- Spanish-American war and at that time he changed the publication from a weekly into a dally newspaper. In 181)8 Mr. Jowett disposed of his Interest and retired from the newspaper business, bis pleasant or rather unpleasant experience having cost him something like $10,000. Mr. Jowett was born In Leeds, Yorkshire, England, over 60 years ago. He was the son of a schoolmaster and was educated at Leeds grammar school. After leaving school he had considerable experience In commercial life and took up music as a pastime, in 1879 he was appointed organist at Harwarden, near Chester, the home of the late William Ewart Gladstone. In 18S3 he left the old country for Winnipeg when he was appointed organist at Grace church und after two or Ihree years went to Holy Trinity and conducted the Winnipeg operatic and oratorio societies, In 188!) he came further west and settled In Revelstoke, where he was engaged in the renl estate business for three years prior to coming to Nelson. Teto Jaune Cache where Mr. Jowett is going to reside, is in the Yollowhead pass. F. A. Talbot in "The New* Garden of Canada/' (Cnssell), says the place was so christened by the Indians bpcause a famous trapper, in tbe service of Jasper Hawes at the Hudson's Bay outpost in Jasper park, hud auburn hair, while the pntli he followed through the mountain become known as the "Pass of Tote Jaune," afterwards turned Into its briefer English equivalent, "Yellow- head Pass."

FIRST SttAMER QN'THEGLYDE Glasgow About to Celebrate Notable Event in History of the City —Launching of Comet, To celebrate the centenary of steam navigation in British waters, a retrospective marine exhibition Is to be held in Glasgow/%hldh will remain open until December 3i. The date to be commemorated'1 Ib /that of the launching of the steamer Comet on July 24, 1812, ana th-a'-advent of1 that vessel Ih regular .-service' on thi? Clyde In the August following. The Comet, designed by Hleiiry 'Bbli, was not by uny means the iflrst steamer built In Europe, but her historical Interbst Is akin to that qf lEultonb'1' Clermont; for'she was the-'pfoHeer 'regular steamer in successftil ■'■'commercial operation in Europe.-: The*3omM #«* built on the Clyde by John* and Charles Wood, and the boiler was made hy the famous David Napier of' Glasgow and the engine by John ■ Robertson, engineer, Glasgow. The vesHel was of 30 tons burden, 50 feet ln length over all, 42 feet 8 inches on deck, and 11 feet 3 inches in breadth. The engine, which is variously stated as of 3 and 4 horsepower, had a single upright, 12% inches in diameter, and with a stroke of 1G Inches placed above the crank Bhaft and driving by means of two rods and a pair of side levers, The crank shaft,, on which a heavy flywheels was | fixed, was worked from the levers by.a, connecting rod, andthe slide valve was driven by an accen- tric on the main shaft, through a rocking shaft, "The condenser was placed between the side levers, the latter driving the vertical air pump. Steam was supplied by a low-pressure boiler set in brickwork, fired externally, and placed on one side of the engine. It Is difficult to say what the exact horsepower of the engine was, as all the facts necessary for the calculation are not now available; but, judging by the relative areas of the two cylinders, there would bo a gain of about one horse-power as a result of the change of cylinders, so that If the original power was three, the Improved engine would give four, the Improved would bc five. She had originally two pairs of paddle wheels, one pair -on each side. These, which were driven by spur gear, were found Inefficient on service, and one pnir was removed. The building of thc Comet was due to the combined engineering genius of both Bell and David Napier's father. Boiler Never Paid For. David Napier lived to become one of tho most famous of Clyde engineers, and as to Bell, his work has been referred to us having led the way to all that is best in the style of British ships, and "truest in the practical application of science In the shipbuilding of Great' Britain." David Napier's father received in payment for the boiler of tbe Comet two promissory notes, dated respectively February 17. 1814, and May 17, 1814, which, however were never paid. These are still ,in the possession o^.'tbe descendants 'Of David Napier—and will be exhibited at the Comet centenary In Glasgow. The advertisements announcing tht first sailings''of the.Comet appeared In the Glasgow-Herald on Friday August 14, 1812, and copies of that issue and BUhseciucnt ones will also be among the,exhibits of interest, as well as a contemporary model of the vessel, three feet in length, and her original cylinder. This cylinder, which wns 11% inches fn diameter, was discarded very early in the history of the vessel, ns It did not give sufficient power, and replaced by that now forming part of tlie engine, which wns presented to tbe Kensington museum, London, by Robert Nabler, the famous shipbuilder. The Glasgow Comet exhibition promises to be the most complete of Its kind over held, and to those interested in the beginnings of steam navigation—before Henry Bell had shown tnat propulsion by Bteam could be made commerclnlty successful—the exhibits relating to pre-Comet days will make a special appeal, The lithograph of the design of Jonathan Hulls of Gloucestershire for a stern-wheel steamer—patented In 1736—will be the earliest reference to steam navigation. Hulls intended his vessel to be used ai a tv.'Sl and he proposed' to have a Ncwcomen atmospheric steam engine driving, by a form of ratchet gear.- a paddle wheel projecting from thc stern. It has been said lhat he experimented with such a vessel on the River Avon In 1737, but abandoned it afterward. Models of Many Ships, There is'no proof of this, but there is abundance of evidence showing that in 1736 he designed a vessel—an Impracticable vessel, as subsequent experiments showed—to be driven by steam. Coming to later years, there will be found a portrait of James Taylor, who suggested the introduction of steam power for marine propulsion, and in copartnership with William Symington, engineer, nnd Patrick Miller of Dalswinton, carried out very successful experiments ont DalBWinton loch In 1788; a portrait of John Robertson, who made the engine for the first Comet; two oil paintings of Henry Bell by James Tannockv and 'also two portraits of Patrick Miller by Alexander Nasmyth. Of the first really practical steamer, the Charlotte Dundas, there will be a number of models, pictures and J*ellcs, among which will be the forefoot of the vessel; a model made from n piece of wood from the vessel herself; two pieces of the original timbers of the vessel, us well as models and pictures lent by the municipality of Glasgow nnd lending Clydesdale families. The Charlotte DundaF. it may be explained, was built at Grangemouth In 1801 by Alexander Hart to the order of Lord Dundas and to the design of William Symington. She was 66 feet In length, 18 feet in beam and 8 feet in depth. There was a cavity In the stern, nnd In the middle of the breadth of the hull measuring four feet in width and 12 feet in length. In this the single pnddlp wheel worked. The vesnel was steered'by two rudders connected by Iron rods and worked from a wheel at thp how. The engine was of 10 horsepower condensing. The cylinder lay horizontally on the deck rWlth a connecting rod from the piston rod to a crank on the paddle whe-el, worked by a boll crank. The engines, which was made at. Carron'ti'ori --jvork8, waa called "Symington's Mew Piiteiit." In simplicity of design and In general efficiency it has not been excelled, even to the present' day; and-'in ite FOR SALE.

Interesting observations with regard In, it are found in the 1011 report of the director of forestry, published as part of the unnual report of the department of the interior for 1911. These are ln continuation of the "report on the tim-i ber along the proposed line of the Hudson Bay railway, published as Bulletin No. 17 of the forestry branch, J. T. Blackford, an experienced woodsmun, acquainted with conditions in the north, reports on the conditions of the forest around Oxford house, his explorations covering some 5,400 square miles of country. Of this only about l,60d square miles bearB merchantable timber; on the remaining 3,800 miles the timber has been burned. There Is abundant evidence that the. whole country was originally forested with spruce, tamarack, jack pine, balsam fir, birch and popular, and on islands which huve by their position been protected from fire, are dense stands of trees two in three feet In diameter. The urens, after the first burning, JiBVe usually been covered with dense Fitwth of trees, but,the debris left nfter lhe first almost invites a second fire. In many places fire has Bwept the country mnny times, Impoverishing the soil, destroying ull seed-trees' and with them all hope of a second forest. "During . the.;summer,",t,.the .report states, "Mr. Blackford- found no commercial1 tMnber ot any qiinritlty," but h<***-'sltfterj that, except for'flro, the country would ba covered with timber two or three feet in diameter."

C, Sept. 15.—This city boasts of having among its residents one of the most progressive amateur photographers west of Winnipeg. D P. Kane having traveled through Brit ish Columbia with a camera, has a unique collection of photographs of (he most beautiful spots that can be found in this province and western Alberta, numbering several. hundreds of views. The subjects of the pictures embrace lhe stately forests and the winding streams. The leaping rata* ract is shown, glaciers, Indians, bath* era and buffaloes aro all Included In the wonderful collection, und all urr adapted to be shown on magic lantern screens. Mr. Kane can tell the hlstor; of Kaslo from its earliest infancy through tlie boom, through the fir and can bring the flood before one with his wonderful machine as he has photographed them all. When color photography became possible he was among the first to exploit* its possibilities, and now by procuring n very expensive gelatine paper from Germany, he is able to print from a col- ored transparency any number of color photographs. A bouquet of roses printed by this method reproduces the yellow, green, red or pink of the original. This is the very latest achievement of the photographers art. The cadet corps musters twice a week 28, strong in the armory where they are initiated into the mysteries of military revolution by Instructor Hindle. When the boys learned that they would drill with a real Ross rifle, the recruiters found their occupation gone, and If there ia any yonne male citizen of the proper age who has not joined, It Is Burely due to par* entnl prejudice, and many of those who nre still too young have their ambition centred on becoming old enough to join the corps.

C, Sept. lo.—A, l>i*cak in the long rim of disagreeable weather is infusing new life in tlie bracing atmosphere of the Halcyon sanitarium and Is showing good effects on all the guests. Mr. and Mrs. Boyd, manager and manageress of the sanitarium, have been enjoying a visit In Calgary, having gone to see the Stampede. Mr. Boyd continued on west to the coast. introducing the famous Halcyon mineral water. During their absence the sanitarium was ably managed by 13. Dupont. That boating, fishing and bathing are not the only available sports of this place is attested by the fact that Lonzo Dupont and Lance Hlllman In ahout two hours bagged n .string of eight fine grouse within about one mile of the hotel. Dr. R. G. Brett of Banff is expected to arrive in u fow days, and besides enjoying a few days at this health- giving resort, will see to having about 10 acres cleared for fruit trees.

After much correspondence with the Lawrence Hardware company of Revelstoke in an effort to secure n successful mouse and rat exterminator, the managers here have finally received from them, after testing all other known appliances, a box containing what ia guaranteed to be absolute death to mice ond rats. However, It Is very difficult to see how a hardware store can profit In sending out a cat with six kittens or under Just what class of hardware they would be grouped. Three hundred nnd fifty or more fine young chickens were raised in the henery and are now making a welcome appearance on the bill of fare A suggestion wa« made that Joe, the bear cub, be sent to Banff for the winter, but everyone has become so attached to him thnt they did not wan! him moved.
