Ill, NO. 14 HAZELTON, B. C, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1913 PRICE $2.00 A YEAR Serious Situation Created by Decision of Justice Hunter in Appeal Case London, Dec. 3:���The Imperial authorities are giving serious consideration to the Hindu problem as it effects Canada. One proposal which is discussed in official circles is to colonize the Sudan with natives of India, thus absorbing the emigration which would otherwise threaten the Dominions. The London Times supports Canada's protest against the admission of Hindus. Ottawa, Dec. 3:���The outstanding question in government circles is the Hindu problem. It is hoped some solution satisfactory to the people of British Columbia will be arrived at. There is a clause in the immigration act which would be effective in preventing the landing of Hindus, but it has been heretofore considered too drastic for application. Victoria, Dec. 3:���Premier McBride says Chief Justice Hunter's decision in the Hindu cases has produced a most critical condition, with which the higher courts and the Dominion government will be asked to deal. Mr. Camminetti, chief of the United States immigration bureau, has been in Victoria, in conference with Sir Richard on the question. He states that many Hindus now in Manila are anxious to come to America. Larkin's Crusade Fails London, Nov. 29:���"The Fiery Cross" crusade of James Larkin, the Dublin strike leader, has become a damp squib. He has signally failed to arouse any enthusiasm in this country for a national strike, and is now indulging in vituperative eloquence which consists principally of insulting his audience. Newspaper correspondents at Dublin state that while Larkin is beating the air in England the Dublin strike is collapsing, and they doubt whether it will continue until the date of the special conference on December 9. The bulk of English trades unionist leaders severely criticize Larkin's tyrannical domination of the leaders and give him the cold shoulder. Indian Commission Vancouver, Dec. 5:���Chairman Wetmore has resigned from the Indian Commission. The work will not be delayed. It is intended to tour Northern British Columbia in the spring, before closing the work. Already the commission has taken 18,000 pages of evidence. B. C. Horses Win Victoria, Dec. 5: -Farm horses from the provincial government farm at Coquitlam won at Chicago's great fair, defeating the noted Swift and Armour exhibts. Bandits Rob Bank And Kill Manager Plum Coulee, Man.. Dec. 8:��� Manager Arnold, of the Bank of Montreal branch here, was killed hy bandits who plundered the bank of five thousand dollars. Arnold followed the robbers, who shot him and escaped. Hockey Meeting Tonight Members of the Hazelton Athletic Association are requested to attend a meeting in the Omineca Mess at eight this evening. The election of delegates to the Hockey League meeting at Smithers and other important business will be taken up. Lost ln Hotel Fire Boston, Dec. 5:���Twenty-eight lives were lost in the burning of the Arcadia hotel, a cheap lodging house for men. Parliament January 15 Ottawa, Dec. 5:- The house of commons will meet on January 15. Dynamite Plot Discovered Edmonton, December 5: ��� A plot to blow up the penitentiary here has been discovered. Twenty sticks of dynamite were found. Record Insurance Policy Montreal, Dec. 5:���The property of the Canadian Pacific is being insured for $100,000,000. Five companies are interested in the policy, which is the largest ever issued in Canada. SUFFRAGETTE LEADER ARRESTED! LANDING London, Dec. 5:���Mrs. Pankhurst was arrested on her arrival at Portsmouth on Thursday, and will be required to serve the remainder of her three-year sentence. The suffragette army which was formed to prevent her arrest was out-generaled by the police. The militants are resentful, and further violence is expected. London, Dec. 1:���The news that Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst is on the Atlantic returning from the United States with $20,000 has occasioned great jubilation among the militant wing of the suffragettes, and they are making vigorous efforts to organize a great reception for her. If the militant lear'er is not arrested she is to proceed to London for a "welcome" meeting at Earl's Court, and will afterwards open a provincial campaign. The most pertinent question on the subject at the moment is, will she be arrested by the English police? She had served only a few weeks of her sentence of three years of penal servitude for inciting to outrage when released from prison on May 30. It was then said that she was in a dying condition, but since then she has had a prolonged holiday in France and has crossed the Atlantic. Judging by the arduous campaign she proposes to undertake, she is now in ordinary health. The World's Doings in Brief News Notes from Many Sources A. M.

The accommodation train which was brought from Smithers to make connection with the coast train, was delayed for several hours east of the Ross tunnels, where the gumbo banks gave considerable trouble. Rains have been general throughout the district, with the result that all streams were unusually high yesterday. The sudden rise in the Bulkley carried out a part of the temporary bridge to South Hazelton. Various small bridges were carried away, including the Blackwater bridge on the telegraph trail. Parcels Post Ottawa, Dec. 1: The Postmaster Genen'.l has announced that everything was in readiness for putting the parcels post into operation. The final difficulty not yet surmounted was that brought forward by the railways, who are asking six million dollars annually to carry parcels. Thev are getting two millions a year now for carrying the mails. When this matter is settled, definite rates for parcels will be determined. The Greenwood Ledge says; - "Young Scotch bank clerks should beep away from Hazelton. They shoot them down in that wicked town, because they do not respect the drop and are too slow in elevating their hands." Predicts Mining Activity British Columbia is on the eve of the greatest mining development the province has known. Scouts for investors have been numerous this summer. The difficulties they meet with are the scarcity of developed properties on the market, and the excessive prices placed on prospects which might otherwise justify development. That the province may have the full benefit of the promised renewal of mining activity, it behoves every man who has the interest of the mining industry at heart to do his utmost lo keep it clean and free from wildcat promotions. There are enough resources and opportunities for legitimate work without wildcatting. Then the mineral industry may be expected to undergo steady and pros- | porous development till British Columbia takes its place among the leading mining countries of the world.���Mining and Eng.

Fish Laws Washington, Nov. 27: ��� Complaints against the Canadian, Japanese and Russian fishermen of invading Alaskan waters for halibut, has led Secretary of the Navy Redfield to include in his estimates for the department of commerce an appropriation of $100,000 for the purchase of a sea going vessel, one light drai't tug and six rapid motor boats with which to enforce the alien fishing law. FRENCH AND GERMAN GOVERNMENTS OUT Paris, Dec. 3:���Premier Bar- thou and the French ministry were defeated in the chamber of deputies, by a coalition of Socialists and Radicals. President Poincare is casting about for a new premier. The situation is critical. Berlin, Dec. 3:���The German government was defeated in the Imperial parliament on a resolution criticizing its attitude in the labor difficulty in Alsace-Lorraine.

OUR CREDIT IS Province Raises Million and Half at Moderate Interest In London Market Victoria, Dec. 5:���Six-months' treasury bills of British Columbia to the value of $1,500,000 have been sold in London. They carry five per cent, interest. The premier explains that the immediate object of the issue is to meet payments on public works due at the beginning of the year. Since the beginning of the fiscal year expenditures on public works have totalled between eight and nine million dollars, and although the province yet has a substantial bank balance, it was thought wise to issue treasury bills, following the example of many other governments. Three com- ses were open; one to curtail expenditure, which would increase the general depression; a second to force collection of sums due the province, which would embarrass many. The third course, which was adopted, was to secure a temporary loan. To Eliminate Japs Vancouver, Dec. 3: ��� H. S. Clement, M. P., in an address to Vancouver Conservatives, said the Dominion government had made provision for six hundred licenses to fish in Skeena and other northern waters, to be issued only to white men. The member declares that within five or six years Asiatics will be eliminated from the fishing industry of British Columbia. Work of Forest Branch The field work of the forest branch is now almost completed and the staff are engaged closing up reports and generally rounding up the season's work. From the standpoint of fire protection the season just passed has been most successful, thanks to the wet weather, the efficiency of the staff and the co-operation of the general public. In spite of the extra amount of work involved in the reorganization of the working field staff, a considerable amount of permanent improvement work has been accomplished in this district. Trails, cabins and telephones have been built, lookout stations located, and plans laid for a more thorough fire control in forest areas. Inaccessible districts have been opened up, and in the event of fire, men and equipment can be got to the scene of operations in quick order. Methods of control have been systematized and a more thorough system of staff supervision has been inaugurated. Forty miles of trail have been constructed, 17 miles of telephone built, and 5 cabins for guard and ranger quarters have been put up. The total force in this district during the season has been 28 men, and next season it is proposed to considerably increase this number. The program for next season has not yet been fully made up, but it is expected that the scope of theforest branch will be further extended. The forest branch has at present men in the field in connection with the grazing scheme of the lands department. Should this plan be carried out, its operations will be conducted under tin. supervision of the forest branch. Much damage was don-; in Home Rule riots in Dublin on Saturday. Four hundred men have been added to the police force of the city. THE OMINECA MINER. SATURDAY.

The people of British Columbia are rightly concerned over the court decision under which Hindus may be admitted to Canada despite the restrictions sought to be enforced by the immigration authorities. If this province is to be undefended against the influx of Hindus and other natives of India, it is easy to imagine a condition which would threaten the prosperity of the country. The overflow of India's three hundred millions might, in a very short time create a labor problem in British Columbia, to which anything we have had in the past would seem trivial. It is to be hoped the Imperial authorities will succeed in their endeavor to provide for Indian emigration without burdening the Dominions with unwelcome hordes of Hindus. Although, at this distance, it is difficult to judge the merits of the proposal to colonize the Sudan with the Hindus, everyone who has the true interests of British Columbia at heart will hope that the plan may prove feasible. Lord Kitchener has proved his ability as a colonize r and administrator, and if he becoines the head of the Indian government there is good reason to look for a satisfactory solution of the problem.

The suitability of many parts of Alberta and British Columbia for growing timothy for seed is unquestionable, and it is the intention of the government, through the Seed Branch, to assist farmers in their methods of handling and marketing their seed. Last year the Dominion Seed Laboratory at Calgary examined 317 samples of timothy, of which 155 were received from farmers; 135 of these came from Alberta, 11 from British Columbia, 8 from Manitoba, and 1 from the United States. Of 317 samples received 278 were examined for weed seeds, and graded as follows: Extra No. 1, 7; No. 1. 23; No. 2, 99; No. 3, 54; rejected, 95. Samples containing more than 80 noxious weed seeds or a total of over 400 of all kinds of weed seeds per ounce are rejected, and are prohibited for sale, under section 9 of the "Seed Control Act." Lambs quarters is by far the most prevailent weed seed found in western-grown timothy, occurring in 204 of the samples. Rough cinquefoil is next, being found in 138 samples. Other common weed seeds are worm- seed, mustard, gentian, yarrow, blue-eyed grass, pepper grass, tower mustard, evening primrose, western false flax, ball mustard, curled dock, and catch fly. Many of these weed seeds could be easily removed from timothy by an ordinary fanning mill, fitted with the proper sieves. Farmers having timothy are invited to send samples to the Seed Laboratory, Calgary, for grading or to receive information as to the proper sir .es to be used for cleaning their particular seed. Sample bags in which seed may be sent, as well as further particulars in regard to taking and sending samples, may be had by sending to the above address. Twenty-five samples of seed will be tested free of charge for any one party; after that 25c a sample is charged.

Foley, Weld- & Stewart have been awarded a five million dol- lar contract for harbor works at Halifax. A train on which 180 federal soldiers were traveling was dynamited near El Salado, Mexico, by the rebels. The demands of Winston Churchill for further enormous naval expenditures threatens to disrupt the Liberal party in Great Britain. The fourth officer, two seamen and a passenger were blown overboard from the Pacific Coast Company's steamer President, off Cape Blanco. A wireless station at Sarnia, Ont., on Friday last caught a message sent out by an Australian station. This is believed to constitute a record. Heavy storms prevailed on the North Atlantic coast last week. Several schooners are missing and many ocean steamers were compelled to seek shelter in St. John harbor. Damage to the extent of one million dollars was done last week, by fire, to the Grand Trunk railway shops at Port Huron. One thousand men have been thrown out of work. Justice Clements has been ordered to refund $4,550 wrongfully obtained from the Crown by representing his residence to be Grand Forks while actually he was living in Vancouver. The power schooner Mary Sachs, one of the Stefansson expedition boats, was crushed in the ice in the Arctic. The shipwrecked crew sought refuge in a native village. There is no news of the Karluk, which is believed to be safe. In the past 18 years the New Zealand government has loaned $65,000,000 to farmers. Out of 27,000 loans made in only 35 cases has foreclosure been necessary. It is claimed that whaling operations on the British Columbia coast are responsible for the unsuccessful nature of the herring and halibut industries this season. Whales, when feeding, drive the smaller fish into shallow waters, where they may be netted. The killing off of the whales allows the fish to remain in deep water Settlers are coming to British Columbia in large numbers, according to Hon. W. R. Ross, minister of lands, who says that this year the province has received more than Alberta and Saskatchewan. During the past year 3600 pre-emption records were granted and 9600 during the past three years, involving 1,150,000 acres. COAL NOTICES Omineca Land Diatrict. DiBtrict of CasBiar.

Each application must be separate and must be signed by the applicant. Only one sample of grain and one of potatoes can be sent to each farm. Applications on any kind of printed form cannot be accepted. If two or more samples are asked for in the same letter only one will be sent As the supply of seed is limited, farmers are advised to apply early; but applications will not necessarily be filled in the exact order in which they are received. Preference will always be given to the most thoughtful and explicit requests. Applications received after the end of January will probably be too late. All applications for grain, and applications from the provinces of Ontario and Quebec for potatoes, should be addressed to the Dominion Cerealist, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Such applications require no postage. If otherwise addressed delay and disappointment may occur. Applications, for potatoes, from farmers in any other province s should be addressed, postage prepaid, to the Superintendent of the nearest Branch Experimental Farm in that province. >.
