Friday unless beforo then, thp imperial munitions board ana the yards not controlled by that organization yield to their demands lor a 10 per cent - increase, in wages. Tomorrow night's meetings of the respective' councils, will bo for the purpose of appointing pickets to the several yards during tho. strike. Following a conference today between It. V. Butchart, director of wooden shipbuilding in tlie. province for the imperial munitions board, and the representatives of tho other shipyards engaged on government contracts, a unanimous decision was reached not to yield to the demand of tho men. No intimation of the government's attitude was receivott from Ottawa today. As the vessels being constructed in the British Columbia yards aro government property and being built for war purposes, It is likely that military guards will be placed at all,the yards to prevent any damage to plant, during the progress of ihe .strike. In the Yarrow yard at Esquimau; where H.M.S. Avoca is being repaired, bluejackets will carry out the work whilo tho regular employee^ aro on strike.

The British government has dono this. Shipbuilding is emphatically a war industry and should be governed by war conditions of efontro*'.

Break With Austria First Seems Imminent HE TOE Huq Fire Eaters to Settle Dispute with Violence If Necessary • i Bv Dallv News Leased Wire.) ~ WASHINGTON, Feb. £?.—Fur- j ther evidence of the growing strain in relations between, Germany and Austria over the refusal of the latter to participate in tha renewed attack upon Russia is given in an official dospatch received here today from Franco. It quotes the- Austrian premier as formally reiterating on Feb. 22 that Austria-Hungary will tako no part in military operations against Rus* ; sia or Rumania and will not send troops into the Ukraine. The despatch refers to the meeting between Emperors Charles and William, Feb. 22 and says there seems little doubt that a serious conflict has arisen between the two nations, which, Germany is determined to settle by violence If necessary. The despatch follows: "Charles I paid a, visit to William II the second of February. "Ludendorf, was present at tho In* tervicw. If we are to judge from tha tone of the interview It must hava been lacking in cordiality. There appears to be little doubt but that a serious conflict has broken out during the week between the novirts of Vienna and Berlin and which Germany is determined to settle, if need be, by violent measures. "The internal situation of the dual monarchy is such tbat the viennn government, in order to avert a catastrophe, 1ms been obliged to distinguish' by means of public declarations 'its own policy from that of Germany. Tho report that at the conference of Feb. 11, Hertling and Ludendorf had decided to pay no attention to the Russian demobilisation and to prepare to begin again tho conflict on the eastern front caused il great stir throughout Austria. Germans Join in Refusal. "It was not simply the dissenting nationalities, the Czechs, the Slovnoes or the Poles, who did not desire to fight any more, but it is the mnss of th..- population of German origin who refuse to sacrifice themselves any longer to assure the triumph of Prussian imperialism. An official note of tho 1.1th had an-* nounced that Austria for her part would continue to consider the war terminated with Russia and would abstain from taking part In tho operations planned by tho German com- nand. A second note of the 19th repented the same statement When re- tuested to give further particulars, aft the sitting of the chamber on the 22nd, the Austrian premier formally stated: " 'The -words tittered ' by different deputies have proved that the explanation which lias been furnished up to tlie present by me, has not been sufficiently explicit. I repeat, therefore, that Austria-Hungary will participate-1 in no way in tbe military action which is now being carried out by Germany against Russia.

WHEN THtEVES BEGIN TO FALL OUT It would be a tremendous victory lor the entente allies if the disagreements between Germany and Austria developed into a definite rupture, -Austria''refuses to make-war on Russia, or. to help Germany In its Invasion of Russian territory.- Vienna takes the attltua<_ that It haa made peace with the Ukraine,. the border section of Russia adjacent to Austria. and that, it does not intend to violate it-'.'.V. - ' ' ' If it persists in this purpose, there Is ime immediate definite gain for the allies, as long as Austria refuses to make war oh Russia, it, means that Germany must -imploy its own troops for that purpose, thus lessening tht ^essUW, that!; might be exerted on tjj^w^tlrn'fr'^nt; '" '.The, e-Vilstrlan people are sick of the W$c. *..and^ even Prussian, propaganda cannot convince them that 'the German Invasion of Russia is part of a "War. of' defense." Rumblings of discontent recently' broke out into open disorder, which** was only quelled by the Austrian' premier's promise of an early peace. That promise as far as "Ckralrte is concerned has been carried out* and it would be a bold Austrian -minister Who would dare to face the,trouble that its violation now would cause, "But a complete break between Germany- and Austria at this time Is rather to be hoped for than expected IT ALL. DEPENDS ON CREDITS , British finance was a question that came before the1 annual convention of the associated boards of ya.de in Nelson .during the deliberations which ended yesterday. Th? whole situation can be summed up In a -nutshell.* Great Britain can only buy ih the countries which are able to provide the credit to pay for the goods. It camjpt ship out gold in payment; neither can It export sufficiently In exchange for the war sup- pllee it requires. Hence the war business-has .to go to the countries which can loan.the money ■ to pay for them. ■f'iTh'at fact has been, recognized by the Dominion government, which has been, providing credits for the im- per*a| government to the amount of :25,000,000 a month, an amount which taVrecehtly. "rfseri.io as much as $400,- QOQ.OOQ a year.. That Is a sum equal to the subscriptions to the recent Victory '.loan. - In the final analysis the credits must be .supplied by the Canadian people as a whole. Every dollar we can loan tVtMe Canadian government for war purpose's means' that much more for tne'Cahadlan government to loan to the imperial authorities for use in purchasing supplies in Canada. *w MAGNIFICENT THE BRITISH WORK NAVY OF generally regarded as the real military, power behind the throne ln Germany. As quartermaster for Von Hindenburg he is said to have been responsible for the successes which made Hindenburg the wooden idol, literally aB well aB metaphorically,.of the German people. A roughly . built man, ruthless' in purpose, cruel and harsh by nature, unimaginative but possessing the powers of application which' have in the past been accepted as evidence of a German genius which is now known to be spurious, Von Ludendorf has pushed his way upward ln this struggle. He Is foremost among the militaristic clique which is bent on carrying on an aggressive warfare and extending Germany's boundaries. a clique which is the real government of Germany and will continue to govern that empire until It has been discredited by military defeat. Canada's business Is to.ship to the seaboard all the wheat, bacon and frozen meat that It can. Great Britain's function is to provide, with the help, of its allies and dominions, the ships to carry the supplies overseas. The Commercial of Winnipeg, the chief retail trade publication of tho west, sees the matter this way; "The quickest way to make friends for your store is to-advertise generously and intelligently and then live up to the advertising." To raise a few potatoes from a vacant lot does not require a vast expenditure of energy, but every pound of food produced in this way releases Just that amount for shipment overseas and ln the aggregate the potential output from lots now vacant is very great; The Wllkie (Sask.) News says: "During the severe wind storm last light our office towel was blown from the door and broken In two," but the Winnipeg Free Presg takes the catastrophe philosophically. It opines that a beneficent providence was merely carrying out some sanitary work. Not for years have such important matters come before the associated boards of trade as those which have been dealt with in the sessions which reached their conclusion yesterday. The resolutions" which were passed represent the considered opinion of those engaged in the business and commercial enterprises of the interior of British Columbia and as such aro entitled to the most favorable consideration by the governments to which they are addressed. | WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING I *- i < Fiction Eclipsed Writers of short stories and moving picture scenarios who resort to their imagination to provide thrillers for the public, are mostly wasting effort. They cannot compete with the news t;hat is coming through day after day from the western front. Kvery list of new decorations, with the descriptions of the deeds by which these were won. contains stories which make the average bit of fiction look very, very tame. As an instance, take the case reported the other day of the aviator whose mach'ne fell In between the two lines. He crawled out n distance of 300 yards. got under the machine, started it. allowing It to pass over his body, and then ran after it and climbed on, getting away with It in the midst of a shower of bullets.—Edmonton Journal.

As Commander Hallett mentioned at the board of .trade luncheon yesterday, tbe. chief foe to be fought by the British navy in the North sea is not the submarine but the mines which are liiid by. submarines. The. undersea minelaying boats creep out from German ports and, lay huge quantities of mines in the tracks •Etf; steamers :;The British, navy goes out and sweeps them up.

P. Rowe The best and most usual type of battalion commander now serving with the Brltsh armies Is probably the man who was a junior regular ofticer at tho beginning of the war. If wounds have not Incapacitated, him for too long a period, It Is more likely than not he is by this time to be found in command of a battalion. One such, known to the writer, was no more than a second lieutenant with only a few months service in August, 1914. He earned his promotion step by step by capable service, and has' commanded his battalion for more than (a'.year,, though he is barely 27 years of age. He went into the army rather late, having been to Oxford first, which acpunts for the fact that he is somewhat older than others with the same length of service. He may Justly be taken as a typo of commanding officer of today for, though he has done supremely well, and his courage and common sense could not be surpassed, be ls no outstanding genius, and is representative rather than exceptional. His courage is of that best kind which shrinks from no necessary risk and scoina the risk which is mere bravado. Four tms he has been wounded, but thank's to fuck and a splendid physique he has never been on the shelf in England for longer than three months. He has won the D.S.O. and a bar to it, distinctions richly deserved. His most notably qualities are a shrewd common sense, which serves the requirements of his position better than genius, and an aptitude, which a- mounts almost to a gift, for real zing the practical values of a tactical situation. His men worship him, ln direct proportion to the period for which they have served under him. Well they may, for he is as just as he is fearless, Moreover, if an attack Is to be carried out, the infinite trouble he takes to study every detail and possibility .beforehand proy.des an assurance that he will secure. success, if it is securable, thereby lessening the risk to all concerned. iJT. Tbe value of such careful and detailed . preparation can hard y be overestimated. Again and again in this war success has depended on it. It has been said that genius Is an infinite capacity for" taking pains, and although this officer may not be a genius, his capacity for taking pains is at least remarkable. But what It all amounts to Js simply that heart and soul must be-in the. work on hand. If a com mandlng officer is so keen that his whole attentlcfci Is concentrated every problem that arises, little more than common sense is needed to ensuie a high level of capacity. In a tour of duty in ordinary trenches this young colonel would naturally apply himself first to the details for the relief. He would visit the position to be taken over beforehand, If It were new to him, and study it with the ml nutest care. Then arrangements for the relief were worked out so thor oughly that a hitch or mistake was hardly conceivable. Having got his battalion tn, he would see personally that everything was done that could make for security, and next decide with each company commander \n turn on the scheme of work which was advisable. On this important matter he would, of course, take the orders of the brigadier. Improvement of trenches with a view first to defense and secondly to making them more habitable, is the cardinal factor of trench- life. Thero Is always very muoh to be done, even If tho outgoing unit has fulfilled- Its duty admirably, a point wh'ch It is only human nature to dispute. Moreover, the mere upkeep of existing conditions requires constant labor. All the time sandbags are.being steadily cut to pieces, and barbed wire to ribbons, by the p'erpetual flight of bullets and parts of the trenches are continually Helhg blown in by shell fire or falling In owing to. climatic exigencies. Wiring, the filling and adjustment of sand bags, and much spade-work are therefore a necessary merely to maintain upkeep. But far more than this is required of a unit that Is proud of itself rind alms at making its section of the line Ideally serviceable. Proper pride Is"*a self-evid'ent virtue In a battalion. If a battalion is possessed of this quality its work w'H never be slip-shod, for it will aim at doing it better than any competitor. To encourage such a spirit in his men is no small achievement on the part of a commanding, officer -and the colonel in question achieved it. Those under his command never thought of being satisfied with work as It was done by some other unit. In this, ahd ln otlfer ways It was their aim to go one better, a healthy rivalry. So the work of th's battal'.on in trenches was of a high level; and it was carried out with keen-; nops by the rank and fllfc. The wire entanglements tn ' front , increased steadily ih breadth; and strength, the parapet was immensely improved, a lateral communication trench, p-erhaps, was dug close behind the front line, all dug-outs were' made stronger and more habitable,'and! if it were winter, the draining done was of a magnitude of which the- R. E. themselves might have been proud. The daily.routine of the CO. comprised as much work—in some casss twice as much work—as that of any officer or man in th'e battalion. Besides the endless "returns" and alt he had to do in connection with the brigade, ' his self-imposed duties in and about the trenches amounted to a sum of labor that'no Trades Union would have countenanced. It seemed thut he was never asleep, but night and day engaged on tasks of the upmost mo-i ment. There was that n'ew sap to be dug, that other sap to be advancsd; an Important reconnaissance to be made; a scheme f6r broadening a deep ditch In front and filling It with wire; an extra sniper'd post to be e!*t'>b'ished: a shnm attaclrto be englneerd to frighten the Boche---and make him reveal a hidden mystery; an Important alteration to be organized In the bringing up of rations/Thus there was no end to his activities, Every man under his command knew him well, for at any hour of day or night he might be walking round his trenches, talking to all and sundry and observing everyth'ng. There Is no doubt that he is an uncommonly good battalion commarder, and the British New Armies Include many like him. Each has - his own Idiosyn racles, but qualit'.'es 'n the main similar. To be an . admirable commanding officer does not necessarily assume genius,, but it does require courage, -good sense aid character. If a man has these, and his heart Is really in it- he can command even a battalion excellently well. TWO GREAT CANADIAN EXPLORER3 A countryman visiting Dubl'n for the first time, took a seat In a street car. Being next to a pompousrlooking swell, he commenced conversation in rather free and easy style. At length the mighty one said: "My good man, reserve your conversation for one of your own: equals. I'd have you know I'm a K.C." (King's Counsel). At this the countryman stood up With outstretched hands, exclaiming: "Shake hands, namesake, I'm a Casey myself." Without hinting, that it had any bearing either way, for or against naturals!, futL.-ism, or any other "ism" in art, De Wolff Hop-ier tells of an artist and his friend who,, having dined well—and wined well, too—adjourned after dinner to th's sr'ist's studio, where the host po'nted out to his friend a beautiful landscape whloh hie had just finished. "What do you think of it, old man?" he asked. - '.'Beautiful)..; old chap, *s beautiful; so true to life. Tire trees wave about so naturally," Sir Edmund Walker has rendered an important service to the people of Canada by calling their attention to the acquisition by Lord Ueavei brook and others of a portrait of Sir Alexander Mackenzie, the discoverer of the great Canadian river that bears his name and perpetuates his memory, and also the first white explorer to traverse British Columbia from the Rocky mountains.to the Pacific ocean. The former of these exploits was achieved In 1789, and the latter in 1793. The portrait was painted by the celebrated Sir Thomas Lawrence, and it will eventually find a permanent and; appropriate resting place In tbe "future National Portrait and Historical Gallery of Canada." Sir Alexander Mackenzie had an excellent preliminary training for the work of expioiatlon, and he made the very most of his opportunities. Born m Inverness in 1755, he emigiated ln .ally youth to Canada, and there ;oined the staff of the Northwest Fur company, the aggressive rival of the more inei t Hudson's Bay company. Having been selected to carry on exploration In the Canadian west, he spent a year in England studying astronomy and navigation, and during the next eight years he devoted hlm- belf to the work of trading and exploration. In 1789 he canoed down the Mackenzie river, and four years later he leached the Pacific ocean by way of the Peace river pass uud canoe streams cn the western slope to the ocean. The modern name of the Pacltic terminus of his voyage is Cape Menzies, near the fifty-second degree of north latitude. After his return to Britain in 1801 he published a fascinating narrative of his exploratory work, entitled "Voyages from Montreal, on; the River | St. Lawrence, Through the Continent \ the const to the north. This he completed in 1794 as far as Cook Inlet, close to the Alaska Peninsula. He. too, prepared a nnratfve of his "Voyage of Discovery to the North Pacific Ocean and Around the World," which should make a suitable companion volume to Mackenzie's narrative.—Toronto Globe. ■ Lieut.

It would be a creditable stroke of enterprise for some enterprising publisher to bring out a popular euition of this valuable ana unique histoiical work, prefaced by the tiuthoi's portrait. By a curious coincidence it was in 1798 that Captain George Vancouver, alter whom tne great island of tho Pacific coast was named, made; a uetailed survey qf part of that coast. These intrepid voyageurs knew nothing' of each others work, though they may have been for a brief spell in close pioximity, Vancouver had served an atdUous apprenticeship as an officer under Captain Cook during,his then famous and important; sea voyages.

Go, UMcaun SPEECH SPURNED (Continued from Page One.) tho best touchstone of the honesty of purpose of the central European diplomats and especially of German diplomacy. There is only one course for the offending., nation in this. case. namely, unconditional restoration and reparation. When was Belgium the jumping off ground of enemy machinations and why should Germany suppose It ls going to be? "Belgium has been the victim, not. the author, of these crimes, and why should she be punished because Germany la Germany. "Germany always had in mind new territorial, commercial and military conditions which would prevent Bel- glum taking an Important place among nations, which Germany and ourselves were pledged to preserve. What we had to consider ls how far1 Von Hertllng's lip-service to President Wilson's four propositions really ls exemplified by German practise." Foolish to Enter Negotiation! Lord Robert Cecil, minister of blockade, referring to tbe Von Hertling speech, said; 'It would be foolish to enter Into negotiations, unless there were a reasonable prospect of success. We do not desire to 'repeat the experiment of the Brest-Litovsk negotiations." Must Avoid Trapi, Lord Robert said that as trustee for the Empire, the government must take reasonable precautions to avoid enemy traps. That was essential. It must have the same guarantee that the enemy was really sincerely and genuinely trying to meet Great Britain's essential demands. , "There must be no humbug about Belgium. "Certainly Belgium is hot the only issue, but It Is a test, and before we can' consent to enter into negotiations we must be perfectly satisfied that the central powers mean to restore Belgium absolutely and do their best- to. repair the great damage committed. "I can find no trace of that, in Von Hertllng's speech. The-Germans have never conveyed to us In any shape or form the fact that they are ready to restore Belgium." Scneidemann Attacks Government AMSTERDAM, Feb. 27.—In the debate on Chancellor von Hertllng's speech,. Philip Scheldemann, the .socialist leader, said; - "We fought for the defense of the .atherland against barbarism and -(gainst the entente's plans of conquest. We did not, however, fight for Che dismemberment of Russia or the subjugation of Belgium. The government's policy toward Russia Is hot ours. "True, the Bolsheviki played Into the hands of all disintegrating tendencies in Russia, but we do not de-' sire a peace with the entente like that which is being concluded with Russia. The government must remain ready for real peace by understanding. "The freedom ■ of Belgium must be secured and the Flemings and Walloons must settle their differences among themselves. We do not desire the humiliation of the enemy or peace by force." Discussing the recent strikes he said lhat they weie to be attributed to food difficulties and delay in the franchise reform. There were no traitorous ob- mmmm jectlves, Ho declared, for at the time there was an abundance of munitions on hand and the coal scarcity necessitated holiday shiftB. The strike was a demonstration in favor of peace and freedom. ON I CONCfNTRATE FOOD PRODUCTION Is Paramount Duty of Canadians. Bay* Alberta Premier—Sptake of Premiers Conference (By Daily News Leased Wire.) EDMONTON, Alta,, Feb. 27.—"The paramount duty of our people at the present time-as citizens of Canada Is increased production," * declared Premier Stewart in the legislature this afternoon- when- * laying - before the house- a resume ef the proceedings of the conference at Ottawa between the provincial premiers and the members of the Dominion government. The next question in importance that had been discussed, he said, was finance and the conclusion arrived at was that in every endeavor, not ohly municipally but provincially, tho strictest economy should be exercised. As to the i subject of colonization, the western premiers had impressed the necessity of greater care in the selection of the. people who would be received as Immigrants, The school lands, said the premier, had been a vital question between the western provinces and the Dominion and the premiers had been assured that a more vigorous policy would be pursued in future in regard to the collection'of interest: At the present time the Dominion owed Alberta, he stated, 1800,000 iu unpaid interest. Further than the arrangement for a conference between the Dominion cabinet and the western premiers after the close of the session of the federal parliament, nothing definite had been decided on the claim of the prairie provinces for their natural resources. It had been discovered at the conference, the premier explained, that the eastern provinces had no objection to their claim so long as the subsidy to those parts of the country was increased. Oh the question of the settlement of the returned soldiers on the land, Mr. Stewart said fnat he had advocated chat land in the settled areas should be provided for the men and Premier Borden had promised that amendments would be introduced into the measure during the coming session. These were the salient features of the proceedings of the conference that the premier laid before the house, *ius statement following the close of the debate on the address. The debate had been resumed by Miss Macauams, who asked that every consideration be given the letuining soldiers, and Fred Davis, Glelchen, who urged that attention be given to telephone systems In rtiral districts.

WAR THA PROVED FALSE Somo of Them Pointed Out by Rev. A. O. Huguet in Sermon on Perverted Prophecies (Special to The Daily News.) SLOCAN CITY, B. C, Feb. 27—Tn Knox Presbyterian church here, Sunday evening, Rev. A. O. Huguet preached to a large congregation on the subject, "Perverted Prophecies," dealing with some predictions mado tn connection with the present -war, based on certain interpretations of scripture. and which had failed to come true. Rev. Mr. Huguet took his text from the words, "I have not sent these prophets yet they run; I have not spoken, yet they prophesied," and said that the desire to understand the mysteries of prophecy was, in some measure, a wholesome desire, but it had led to a form of scripture Interpretation which assigned dates and times to specific events, and in attempting to follow these lines of interpretation many Christians had created for themselves a state of .mind which could hardly be described as panic but was something more than ferment. Ho said that In .times such as these thoughtful Christians would be particularly alert concerning'the verities of the faith; but thoy would view with suspicion the claims of sectaries who violated the accepted canons of Scrip ture interpretation in order to advance their particular creeds or be'iefs. He cited certain predictions which had been made in regard to the number 6_6. and the anti-Christ, and parts of the book of Daniel, wherein the attempt had been made to bring these passages into absolute beating on persons, times and events In the present war, and he also showed how recent history had refuted these predictions. In conclusion, Rev. Mr. Huguet issued a call to the membership of the church to return to habits of Bible reading and prayer, advocating the earnest perusal of all the scriptures, instead of merely parts of them. And for those Christians who felt themselves especially attracted by the aire of events foretold In prophecy, he affirmed that a sure and sufficient guide was given in the word of the Master, "Watch and Pray."

"The practicability of raising such an army may bo questioned," said Mr. Hlllquit "As to my fitness for the task, I am somewhat In doubt, as I alive no previous military experience. Also I am not unmindful of Mr. Roosevelt's attempt and its utter failure."

Ottawa Delegation L. A. Campbell o" Rossland and W. A.'Anstie of Revelstoke. were, unanimously-, chosen t;o be a delegation to Interview the federal government at Ottawal with reference to the establishment of a line of credit -.-to ensure a market for the ores of the prov nc\ Both Mr. Campbell'' and Mr. Anstie agreed to make the tr'p to tte'capital and stated their willingness to go within the course of a week oi a few days over. A lengthy discussion followed the introduction of the smelter rrgbe question on the opening of the morning session. . S. Q. Blaylock suggested that three or four men representing e\e^r, intermediate and low grade. orei be chosen by*, the convention o.nd frcm them let the smelter pelect one representative, This act'pn would avoid personalities being brought into the question, Mr. Bluylock sa'd. Colorado Methods. The suggestion brought a* remark from W. E. Zwicky to the effect tint when the Colorado comm'sslcn was appointed the smelters were not consulted at all. ""Wire aro w'lling to hive a government commission os they d'd. In the first p'ace I asked you__ to rixme the committee," the smelter representaive said. "Still you wish to do the sa'.ectl g," Mr, Zwicky replied. James Anderson then nigge* ted 'hit Ivan Delashmut, S S Fowler and W. B. Zwicky be members of the ccm.nll- tee. j Again Mr. Blaylock objected by stating that more than the number to act should .be named. - Wants Alternatives. G. A. Lafferty sug-esed t'at Mr. Anderson and Mr. B'aylbck by a com- mittee to discucB the subject befora action was taken. President Starkey thought th°re 'should be one alternative on the c m- mittee. Mr. Blaylock said there fhou'd bo an alternate for each tran. The crm- mltteo should have the confiden'e cf the mining men. but should also be agreeable to the smelter. Again the thres nam-a werc m"n- tloned and Mr. B'aylock again ask d the delegates to place more names on the list. He said that he would n't rtate he would object to any certain three hut he thought It would be f'ir to have the convent'on name those which It would be willing to see on the committee and then allow the smelter to nhoose from the n-mes prt up. Various Opinions. Bruce White was of the opinion that it was not fa'r. J. R. Hunter remarked that if th*-; convention picked those who it w uld be wiling to see on the crmm tt e, surely it would be fair to let the smelter choose from them. Mr. B'aylock referred to the resolution which stated that "thrro me-i should be appo'nted In wh-m the smelting company and m!ne operators have, expressed their full confidence," "Bruce White suggested ' that the smelter name, the men. ml let the can.- vertion pick the ones out Mr. TJlayJock agreed, to do so If it suited the meeting. ' W. G. Ternan suggested that the smelter pick from a l'St of rix mtn. G. A. Lafferty then suggested that T. J. Lloyd, James Anderson and S. G, Blaylock be a committee to discuss the question, Th's w-s acted upon and the committee met for consultation while the meeting temporarily adjourned. . Finally Settled. On reading the names as decided upon the meeting passed the resolution as agreeable' to both the smelt r a d mining men. The action was fol.owed by echoes of applause. The naming of L. A. Campbell and W, A. Anstie as delegates to go to Ottawa to urge tlie need of a 11-e of credit to create a market for ores frcm mines in the province, was received by .the meeting with satlsf iQtlon. The subsequent statement of Mr. Campbell that he was willing to m_k*> the Ottawa trip was followed with applause as well as the remarks of Mr, Anstie, who also stated that he would be able to ac.edt to the request.

Hunter,* pres ident of the Nelson board cf trade, th secretary was instructed to write t* the mining and forestry dapar ment> of the government with a view cf so curing statistics on the amount of revenue derived from the iiterior dls trlcts. The southern and east r parts of the .province add mitcrinlly t the amount of revenue derived, bu get l.ttle for it, Mr. Hunter rem rked If necessary .It would be a wise expenditure to pay for data on ths question, he thought, S-.rathcc.na Luncheon. At 1 o'clock the delegat-s gathT'd at the Strathcona hotel for the luncheon* which was-arranged for ty $he 1 •' cal board to mark- the cios ng. of the convention. Manager H. W. Shore provided a menu and cuisine which met with favor by the many in atte dance. Immediately after tho diftn r was over and the cigars hnd been pes ed around, Cha'rman J. R. Hunter opened the rf- ter-dlnner speaking by announcing a proposed trip through the Okanagan district during the coming summ r. It was hoped that a large number ol the delegates at the conve tl.n wouli avail themselves of me epportu ity cf seeing British Columbia f'rst, Mr. Hunter said. In conclusion.he. mentioned the need of cooperation 'n the work of local boards and the necs-slty of It application to get maximum, results from a community. ,-. L. A. Campbell of Rossland was then called upon. _ ,*.. L. A.

Ho briefly r sumed tbe m'n- Ing situation and remarked that he was pleased with the action In appointing Mr. Campbell and Mr. Anstie os a delegation to go to Ottawa. Speaking of the spirit of cooperation which had already been Introduced, Mr. Zwicky said that in S'ocan there had been meetings of the m'neowners and the board of. trade and that luncheons hud been held and at theni ihere had been talks along the lines whloh had been taken up in Nelscn as evinced by the remarks of the president of the Nelson board. After War Question. In other places the after-war quos- t'op was already being considered, he said. In th's regard the query had been brought up as to whom would b? fflven control of commerco after peace had been declared. Thpre was fhe need of cars, Canada could not fall 1-to the portion Russia had fal'en; In this way Mr. Zwicky tho-ght. It wis a splendid idea to make *h? p^oiced Okamie'an trip and in one way to put 'nto effect the cooperative m'-vem^t, which would, have a good effect, he said. James Anderson, mnyor of Kfllio.

Ho remarked that the idea of sending Mr, Campbell and Mr. Anstie to the capital' was a splendid one and should be a factor in getting relief of the situation*. Mayor M. R. McQuarrie stated that questions of Interest to the cities and districts about Nelson were of interest locally. The appointment of the delegation t<J go to Ottawa was one of vital interest to all of the Interior districts, he said. This was a time when there was a "need 'for all the world to stand together and toward this end the associated boards was doing Its bit. In conclusion the mayor expressed regret ln .not 'being able to entertain the delegates ln a more hospitable manner.

With reference to Mr. Campbell and Mr. Anstie, who hnd agreed to represent the board at Ottawa In connection with the credit request, he pointed, out Lhat tlie delegates were paying their own expenses. True they, too, wer< interested in the continued operation of the mines of the district, but thj matter was nevertheless of great importance to all, he declared. He touched. upon the duty of the citizens with reference to the recl-'ma- t.on of lands and other qussvions wh ch would add to theli- comfort and convenience on their return hems. The trip to the Okanag.n would undoubtedly be a benef .cial one, from a get-together standpoint, he said. Speaking of criticism, Mr, Starkey -ra- maked that he did not mind being "roasted," but he insisted upon not accepting a roost for something he did not do. He had been reported in Spokane as wanting to build a smelter there and lie had been mertlcn d In the Rossland paper as having b_en responsible for an invitation which he understood had been given in gcod faith by Mayor McQuarrie. (Laughter.) The chairman called, upen the"jil- llest man in the crowd' to bring the speech making to a close. In reply, G. A. Lafferty said he was not yet tho Jolllest man lii the crowd, but he held high hopes. There had been n m'sun- derstandlng between the smelter and the mining men, but the matter was about to be "put," he'said. And when It was "put" it would be put right. Criticism wos a great^thing when It was properly applied, Mr. Lafferty observed. If applied to the board's and if done so thick enough It would prove a factor that would keep it alive. He brought-hls remarks to a closa by proposing* a toast to the ladies, and the singing of "He's a Jolly Good Fellow."
