The "Street Talk" Feature Made Proniient nt Lust Night's Sitting The city council met last night, with Aid. J. A. Kirkpatrick as acting mayor in the absence of Mayor Manson. A good part of the evening was given over to questions and answers, in which Aid. Newton played a leading part. This proceeding was started by Aid. Newton asking a question as to why the city was filling in John Goodman's lots. He gave as his reason later on for asking the questions the somewhat stereotyped one that people on the streets were asking the questions and he wanted an answer. Later in the evening Aid. Hllditch took a similar course and on the strength of the street reports asked as to the placing of insurance, which was explained by Aid. Newton. The two questions took up about half the time of the sitting. Aid. Newton wanted to know why the city had filled in John Goodman's lots. He had been asked the question and did not know how to answer it. Aid. Hilditch explained that the worlf was done as an accommodation to the city. The arrangement was made with Mr. Benson of the Atlantic Realty Company and had been fully gone into earlier in the year. By the arrangement the city was excused from building a high retaining wall. Aid. Douglas said he would explain. He had gone to Aid. Hilditch and got one explanation. Mr. Benson gave another explanation, and Aid. Kirkpatrick gave another. Certain Aldermen Aid. Hilditch, in making a further IN FEDERAL POLITICS he wanted to know why the insurance was taken from Aid. Pattullo, who had been one to put up his good money without interest in order to buy the telephone for the city. He wished to have it made clear what the reasons were. Aid. Newton said it would afford him pleasure to deal with it. He took full responsibility for the action. He moved that the insurance go to Law & Butler and thhe Continental Trust Company. On looking into the insurance in the city it was found that ex-Aid. Pattullo and ex-Aid. Naden had a large share of the insurance. Some other firms, like M. M. Stephens and Peck & Moore, had got some after new insurance was placed this year. The two ex-aldermen seemed to have got a very large slice of last year's insurance. He therefore had moved to place it as indicated. Aid. Hilditch thought Law & Butler had half the insurance on the telephone building before. He did not know that this firm took the rest of the insurance. He would like to hear just how the insurance was placed. The city clerk explained that the insurance had been distributed by giving Law & Butler the same as the year before, and the rest had gone to Mr. Deacon and the Continental Trust Company. It was finally decided to have a report prepared showing how the city insurance was divided. o Good Company The Cleveland Opera Company at the Empress theatre is playing to packed houses.

Aid. Newton said that that was the trouble, aldermen did not know. He asked the question for this reason. Aid. Hilditch explained the course of the negotiations that had been carried out and stated that all this information could be obtained without coming to the council and taking up time getting it. Aid. Newton objected to these insinuations of Aid. Hllditch. He further stated that if Hilditch only knew half of what was being said he would be glad of an opportunity to explain these matters. The original agreement was finally read, when Aid. Newton said he did not quite understand it, but there was a "deal of talk" about this. He would like to know if the arrangement was to the advantage of the city. It was not to bother Aid. Hllditch that he asked these questions. Aid. Kirkpatrick said the arrangement was certainly to the advantage of the city. Aid. Hilditch thought that if any man, or even a child, were to go down Eighth street he could see the advantage of this. It was saving the city thousands of dollars. Aid. Smith pointed out that the year before the lot was bought by the city for the very purpose it was being used. Questioner Questioned With the settlement of this question Aid. Hilditch introduced another with reference to the placing of insurance. He wanted to know why a certain property owner in the city had been cut out from insurance by the finance committee. The Insurance which he referred to was on the telephone plant. There was talk on the street and, like Aid. Newton, he liked to he able to give an answer to theBe. in this particular case (Special to The Journal) London, Aug. 8.—The vote of censure of the government for having obtained from the king a pledge to create, if necessary, sufficient peers by A. ,1. Balfour. Premier Asquith showed the ministers had pursued an entirely proper constitutional course. After the premier's speech the debate on the Unionist side virtually collapsed. HOSPITAL FEES Question Raised of Collecting From City Employees for Hospital Dues The question of deducting $1 a month from the men working on city works and the turning of the proceeds over to the hospital to assure all of these men hospital treatment In case of sickness was brought up by Aid. Hilditch last evening. Aid. Hilditch favored some such move, as it would ensure the men and save the hospital and Indirectly the city from loss. It would allow the men affected a chance to have some funds when they came out of the hospital to be used during the convalescing period instead of taking all that is coming under the insurance system to pay hospital fees. Aid. Douglas thought this should first be referred to the men. The city solicitor pointed out difficulties in the way of doing as suggested unless the men were agreeable. Aid. Hilditch thought it might he incorporated in new contracts. The matter was referred to the city solicitor. In connection with the same subject a report was presented during the evening showing the standing of the insurance on the city workmen. There had been paid in by the city $710.20. There had been paid out on account of claims $461.14 and there were claims for $200 more now held. The conventions to nominate candidates for the coming election In Comox-Atlin district will be held In Nanaimo. The Conservatives have called their convention for next Wednesday, August 16.. The local delegates expect to leave for the south by the G. T. P. steamer on Monday morning, reaching Nanaimo on Tuesday afternoon, which Will allow them an opportunity to attend the convention and, If necessary, get back to Prince Rupert on the same steamer. Premier McBride is to be present at the convention in Nanaimo and will undoubtedly address the gather ing. It is practically settled that he will not accept nomination for Comox-Atlin. It la, moreover, very unlikely that he will retire from provincial politics at present. While there has been strong pressure brought to bear upon him to enter federal politics thel'e has likewise been an attempt made to induce him to continue to administer affairs in the province where he has been so eminently successful and where it Is felt his guiding hand is still required. The Liberals of Comox-Atlin have likewise selected Nanaimo as a meeting place, taking as the date August 19. AWAIT NEW VESSEL LAUNDRY DISTRICT Prince John of the G.T.P.

P.'s new steamer the Prince John is expected in port this afternoon. She is bringing a mixed cargo and will, after discharging, enter upon her duties in the regular service between here and the Queen Charlotte Islands. The acquisition of the new vessel has enabled the G. T, P. to promote several officers. Captain Wearmouth who has been master of the Prince Albert ever since she was put on the northern route, has gained much experience in navigating the difficult waters between Queen Charlotte City and Prince Rupert and will be in charge of the Prince John, being suceeded on the Prince Albert by Captain Duncan McKenzie, formerly of the Rupert City. The following are the officers of the Prince John: Chief officer, H. McClelland, formerly first officer on the Prince Rupert; first officer, Mr. Griffiths, formerly first officer on the Prince Albert; second officer, Mr. McKernan, who is the only officer to remain on the vessel of those who came out on her; purser and wireless operator, J.

The first boat will leave Davis' wharf at 1:30 p. m.j second boat at 6 p. m. Fare and supper Included will be 75 cents. Ice cream sold by the ladles. The public Is invited. Plenty of room for everyone. Come! Thursday afternoon, this enjoyable outing! A laundry and wash-house bylaw is to be introduced into the city council by Aid. Hilditch. It will be prepared by the city solicitor along the line of those adopted in other citieB having for its object the forcing of Chinese who open wash-houses to keep their places clean and conform more to the rules observed in white laundries. It Is proposed also to limit the location of laundries and wash-houses in the future. A decision last night was reached to make blocks 41 and 42 section 5, the location. This Is close to the restricted area on Comox avenue. The rule will not apply to places already doing business. Aid. Hilditch in his notice of motion last night designated blocks 41 to 4 6, section a, as the location for laundries and wash-houses. Aid. Smith wanted to know if this would apply to steam laundries. • Aid. Hilditch said it would apply to any built in future. It would not apply to those now in existence. Aid. Douglas objected to making that a laundry district. Aid. Hilditch said he did not care where it went. If there was any other site more suitable he would accept the suggestion. He explained that his action was taken now because there was an application in for permission to build a Chinese wash- house on Fifth avenue where one had burned down before. The bylaw was introduced to prevent the erection of Chinese wash-houses in the residential quarters. A reference to the map of the city resulted in the selection of the site suggested, but with the creation of a smaller district; namely, two blocks instead of six. It was suggested by the solicitor that the bylaw should he made comprehensive and cover the buildings us well, reference being made to floors, etc., and the disposal of water. This was agreed to and will he included in the bylaw. F. E. Cowell, who has valuable holdings in the Lakelse Valley, has arrived in the city with a practical demonstration of what the Lakelse will produce. He has several stalks of wl'd grass which were growing in a wild state in the rich bottom lands in the val'ey. The grass brought to the city by Mr. Cowell showed a height of seven feet six inches. While Mr. Cowell does not pretend that this seven foot grass is the ordinary growth in the valley yet it grows so luxuriantly that a man is hidden among it. Occasional shoots are found equal to or nearly approaching the ones he cut. The grass is a wonderful advertisement as to the productiveness of that part of the province. Any land that will produce such a rrowth of vegetation is certainly among the favored spots of the earth. o Advanced Pay On the report of the finance committee it was decided last evening to increase the pay of the sanitary inspector, who has many other duties to perform, to $90 from January 1 and to $100 from July 1. o Oppose Reciprocity Among the visitors to Prince Rupert this week was John L. Beek- with, a Victoria traveller. Mr. Beck- with has just returned from a trip to the east and says that there is a remarkably strong feeling there against reciprocity. Even on the prairies there is a strong wave opposed to the pact proposed to be entered into. The Liberals havf tried in various ways to overcome the feeling against the move in Its own party. D. C. Cameron if Winnipeg, one of the most pronounced opponents, is now made lieutenant governor of the province in succession to Sir Danied McMillan in order, it is fully believed, to keep down his active opposition. o MINISTER TO RETIRE' Will Let Last Portion of Railway Within Short Time. There Is Little Doubt Now hut Road Will lie Completed in 1018 From all information available, it appears that the G. T. P. is to lose no time in completing the final gap between Burns Lake, to which point the contract for construction has been let from this end, to Tete Jaune Cache. An announcement has been made from Montreal, though unofficially, that Foley, Welch & Stewart will be awarded the contract for the distance from Bums Lake to Tete Jaune Cache. The Information sent out is to the effect that it is understood that the G. T. P. railway is to award to Messrs. Foley, Welch & Stewart a contract for the const ruction of the uncompleted gap in" British Columbia extending from Tete Jaune Cache, fifty miles west of Yellowhead Pass, to Aldermere, in the Bulkley Valley, a distance of approximately 415 miles. J. W. Stewart, managing director of the firm, has been at Montreal for nearly ten days. Negotiations in regards to various details are now in progress and it is expected that the deal will be closed before the end of the week. The same firm built the main line westward from Saskatoon and expects to have the rails extended across the summit to Tete Jaune Cache by the end of December next. Railhead is now only twenty miles east of Yellowhead Pass, at the summit, and grading is in progress west of the divide to Tete Jaune Cache. Complete in 1l>t:« Messrs.

His Portfolio Will Be Taken, It Is Expected, by Hugh Guthrie of Guelph (Special to The Journal) Ottawa, Aug. 8.—Sir Alan Aylesworth has definitely announced that he will not again be a candidate in North York. He has tendered the resignation of the portfolio of minister of justice to Sir Wilfrid, who will be obliged reluctantly to ac- eept it. The premier strongly urged Sir Alan to continue in the government but the latter, on account of his deafness, thinks it right he should retire. He will continue to hold the portfolio a few weeks yet, until his successor, who will probably be Hugh Guthrie of Guelph, is sworn in. I Special to The Journal) Montreal, Aug. 8.—R. L. Borden will open his campaign In the eastern townships on August 29 with an address at Farnham. In the next few days following he will speak at Sherbrooke. He will be accompanied by Hon. .1. C.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Tuesday, August 8, 1911. ON TUBERCULOSIS Inquiries Into the Various Forms Which are Net With Among Animals. Information Derived From Investigation Into the Whole Subject Tlie final reporl of the British royal commission appointed to inquire into tlie transmission of tuberculosis and other aspects of tlie ills- ease was issued two weeks ago. The commissioners hold thai tlie human and bovine types are two varieties of the same bacillus, anil the le'sinns which they produce are manifestations of ihe same' disease. Important recommendations on ihe subject of ihe public milk supply are contained in the report, the government being urged to enforce feuul regulations to afford better security against, the infection of human beings through articles of diet derived from tuberculosis animals. Tlie commission was appointed to investigate the following questions: Whether the disease in animals and man is one and the same. Whether animals and man can be reciprocally infected with it. Under what conditions, if at all, the transmission of the disease from animals to man takes place, and what are the circumstances favorable or unfavorable to such transmission. The com missioners state that for purposes of description it is advisable to distinguish three types of tubercle bacilli, having individual characters—the human, bovine, and avian types. The commission has therefore attempted to answer the above questions by studying these three types of the disease in animals and in man as it occurs naturally as well as when produced by experiments. In the three interim reports presented during the investigations, the commission presented earlier results as they were arrived at, and it now shows In the final report how far the total results afford replies to the questions to he investigated. In regard to the first question the commission concludes that the human and bovine types are two varieties of the same bacillus, and the lesions which they produce, whether in man or in other animals, are manifestations of the same disease. This conclusion was deduced from the following observations: The chief difference Detween bovine and human bacilli is the difference of virulence towards certain animals, but in many animals a fatal issue results in both cases, notably in guinea pigs, chimpanzees, and other monkeys. While as a rule the human bacilli present a greater luxuriance of growth than those of the bovine type, the gap between tlie two varieties, and in certain instances, Is very small indeed. Human and bovine bacilli are "morphologically indistinguishable" —that is, they have taken the same form. Note must be taken, too, of the exceptional characters of bacilli isolated from lupus and equine tuberculosis, which' combine features of both types. There would remain, therefore, only slight cultured differences for making the two types distinct organisms. The commission states that there is not sufficient ground, however, for asserting that the avian and human types are one and the same disease. Dealing with the second question, the commission concludes that, excluding fowl and other birds from the reply, mammals and men can be reciprocally infected with tuberculosis. Many cases of fatal tubercu losis have been produced in the hu man subject by the bacillus known to produce the disease in cattle. Pigs. on the other hand, are capable of harboring, if not encouraging, the human and avian tubercle. The chimpanzee, one of the mamals most resembling man, is susceptible to both bovine and human types, but re. sists attempts to Inoculate the avian type. The report adds that it is extreme ly Important to bear In mind that the pulmonary form of the disease in man can sometimes be caused by the bovine bacilli. Discussing possible sources of In. fection, tbe commissioners say it may be asked in what way are children, who are especially liable to exhibit acme fatal tuberculosis as an ab douiinal affection, most likely to obtain a large and fatally infective dose of tubercle bacilli? To this question there can he put but one answer. "The evidence wliicn we have ac cumulated goes to demonstrate that a considerable amount of the tuber culosls of childhood is to be ascribed tee Infection with bacilli of the bovine type transmitted in meals largely consisting of the milk of the cow. In many cases of abdominal tuberculosis and in tuberculosis of the cervical gland the child may be injured through the milk without fatal results. In all cases of the cervical gland tuberculosis investigated by the commissioners the patients had recovered or were recovering after operation." "In the interests of infants and children," the report proceeds, "the members of the population whom we have proved to be specially endangered, and for the reasonable safeguarding of the public health generally, we would urge that existing regulations and the supervision of milk production and meat preparation be not relaxed; that, on the contrary, the government should cause to ben enforced throughout the kingdom food regulations planned to afford better securityf against the infection of human being through the medium of articles of diet derived from tuberculosis animals. More particularly, we would urge action in this sense in order to avert or minimise the present danger arising from the consumption of infected milk." The commissioners state in conclusion: "We are convinced that measures for securing the prevention of the injection of living bovine tubercle bacilli with milk would greatly reduce the number of cases of abdominal and cervical gland tuberculosis of children, and that such measures should include the exclusion of the milk of the recognizably tuberculous cow, irrespective of the site of the disease, .whether in the udder or in the internal organs." o— LE ROI MINE SOLD Reported in London That the Famous Property Has Changed Hands The Canadian Associated Press in London has been informed by A. J. .McMillan, liquidator of the Le Roie .Mining Company, says the Rossland Miner, that an agreement has been provisionally entered into with the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada, Ltd., for the sale to them of the Le Roi mine. The agreement was ratified on Friday and the purchase price is stated as being $250,000. R. H. Stewart, general manager of the Consolidated Company has confirmed the report, although he has received no official notification as yet. He was not in a position to give any details of the plan of development of the mine proposed by his company.

He Replies to the Finding of Mr. Justice Murphy and Tells of Whitewashing In a letter to the Montreal Star, T. R. E. Mclnnes replies at length to the findings made by Mr. Justice Murphy on Chinese smuggling. He Bays: Sir—On Saturday you published the findings of Mr. Justice Murphy of Vancouver, who sat as a commissioner to Inquire into Chinese immigration and opium smuggling in British Columbia. My reputation is at stake in this matter, and 1 now ask you to give equal prominence to what I have to say in reply to this honorable judge. I make four charges: (1) I say that the first four statements or findings made by this commissioner in summing up his report are irrelevant; (2) I say that the Dominion government permitted Hie fraudulent entry of Chinese to continue without any attempt at prevention for at least two years after its attention had been formally drawn thereto; (3) I say that the Dominion government deliberately delayed criminal proceedings against the guilty Chinese indicated by its own commissioner, Judge .Murphy, for two months In order to allow them to escape from justice; (4) I say that If Sir Wilfrid Laurier, when replying to Mr. Borden in the House on Friday, meant me when he said: "The only person not a Chinaman who was suspected was not appointed by this government," then Sir Wilfrid Laurier did not speak by the book. I will deal with this last charge first, and the .doing so involves the whole question of my connection with the government. In August, 1907, the Indians of the Garden River reservation iu Algoma were being debauched by American whisky sellers, operating on Sugar Island in the State of Michigan, just across the river from the Canadian reservation. Members of parliament, priests and missionaries were asking the government to do something in the matter, but as the whisky sellers were on American territory and the Canadian Indians crossed the river to them, the situation was difficult. Neither under U. S. federal or state laws was it unlawful to sell liquor to a Canadian Ionian on American territory; and so the offenders felt secure. My services were asked by the Indian department. As a result, inside of a month the offenders were arrested, convicted of something, and jailed in .Michigan. In the following month the Chinese riots occurred in Vancouver, and Hon. Frank Oliver, mindful perhaps of my Michigan success, asked me to go to Vancouver, to report on the situation, and advise as to what should be done. I returned in three weeks with a report which anticipated the later finding of Mackenzie King. My report was acted upon, and copies were sent to tlie Imperial government and to the government of India. Two months later, owing to the activities of the Asiatic Exclusion League, and the fear of renewed riots, Sir Wilfrid Laurier wrote a note to Mr. Oliver.giving it to me to take to him, asking that I be sent again to the coast, nominally for the immigration department, in reality to attempt to check a dangerous situation, and to be on hand to advise if emergencies arose. I was there all winter. The riots threatened and actually planned in Seattle wgre averted. To Gordon Grant, president at the time of the Asiatic Exclusion League, the credit for this Is largely due. His sense of loalty was awakened when he was shown what was being planned by American agitators, and what the success of their plot would mean to Canadian and Imperial interests. This Is the Mr. Grant upon whom Commissioner Murphy throws a slur in the third paragraph of the summary of his report. The next summer, I acted as adviser to all the Chinese of Vancouver in preparing their damage claims for consideration by Mackenzie King, special commissioner to assess damages in connection with the September riots. On this occasion, I talked with Owyang King, then Chinese consul at San Francisco, and Tung Chlng Ling, attache of the Chinese embassy at London, as to future relations between Canada and China and the chance of developing a large trade between the two countries, the profits of which would tend to overcome race antagonism. At that time there was no Canadian trade commissioner in China.I :::id many Chinese clients, and a knowledge of local Chinese customs u;:d business methods. I sent in a report either to the trade and commerce department or the interior department, I forget which, but dealing with the whole question of developing Canada's trade with China and urging the appointment of Canadian commissioners at Canton, Shanghai and Tien Tsin. I discussed the matter with Mackenzie King, and he heartily approved, and promised his support if I wanted the position. Many strong recommendations were made on my behalf. The government adopted the suggestions in my report so far as to establish an office at Shanghai, but appointed the late Mr. MacLean Instead of me. After Mr. MacLean's death, which occurred In the following September, Mr. O'Hara telephoned for me, and asked If I were still open for the position. I replied that I was, and would be willing to go in February, after I had finished my first draft of a new immigration act, which I had been retained by Mr. Oliver to prepare. A recommendation to council was prepared accordingly, and signed by Sir Richard Cartwright. The appointment, however, was blocked by Mr. Templeman. That ended the matter. I never sought the position after that, because Mr. Templeman had unwittingly done me a good turn; remaining in Canada proved vastly to my advantage. From time to time after that I had a retainer from the government for special services. Among them was the drawing of the new Immigration Act referred to. This involved observation of the methods actually practised by American and Canadian officers at seaports and on the boundary. Now it. happened that the Hon. Frank Oliver, in September, 1908, feared something in Alberta on the part of the Conservatives which he called "skullduggery." The general elections were on at the time, and he asked me to go to Calgary and vicinity on a still hunt for this "skullduggery." Up to this time my services had been absolutely non-political, and Oliver knew that I had no more respect for one side than for the other. He did know, however, that I generally got results worth while in any matter which I undertook. I found to my surprise, however, that he did not propose to pay my fee from any party fund, but that I was to go on political service at government expense, to cover which I was to make a report on immigration matters. This was not much to my stomach, but in connec tion with the act upon which I was working I wanted to observe the official immigration machinei between Winnipeg and Vancouver, particularly along the Britisii Columbia border and at Seattle. I did, however, throw an eye over political methods at Calgary and vicinity for about ten days, becoming satisfied that honest voting was the style there, and that anything in the nature of "skullduggery" was more to be apprehended from the Liberals than from the Conservatives. This I told to the Hon. Frank, and left him to go about my proper business. On December 10 1908, I sent In a report to Mr. Oliver, covering my observations on this trip, and making certain recommendations. It was during this visit to the coast that I first paid any particular attention to the smuggling of Chinese Immigrants. In drafting my Immigration Act, I wished it to apply equally to Chinese, considering that there should be but one Immigration Act, designed to apply equally to all classes of immigrants, and administered by one department. As far aB I remember, however, I made no written report then as to this smuggling, wishing to make a fuller investigation later on. But a year before that time 1 am told that Officer Busby of the customs department, had noticed and reported upon these frauds, but, to put It mildly, was not encouraged to disclose anything further In that line.

Tuesday, August 8, 1911. the United States, the reversal of the imperial preference doctrine have changed all this. They who have been silent on political questions are speaking out. Some who have supported the government on business grounds can do so no longer. Less ardent Conservatives who gave a silent vote, or cast uncertain ballots according to personal preference or local issues, are now outspoken. This is a contest-in which many new voices will be heard, and many will speak more Impressively than ever before. Illi: IMPENDING CONTEST The election now pending will be' less distinctly a party struggle than those of recent years. While Hie leaders are the same us tliree years ago, the chief issue is new. In 1908 Sir Wilfrid Laurier assured the people that reciprocity was no longer soughi or desired by Canada, and that '.iu- government was promoting c'oser trade relations with the Empire, says the News-Advertiser. Today we find the government returning toward the programme of twenty years asu, which the people rejected with scorn in 1SS7 and 1891. On this ousolete policy the premier Is appealing to the obsolete constituencies. A purely party struggle for office and patronage does not greatly interest the average man of business, unless lie has a natural liking for politics for its own sake. There are many professional men, especially preachers and teachers, who do not concern themselves much with the political game. But these and others who have lookea upon elections as an entertainment for politically disposed persons, find their attention earnestly attracted to the issue now before the county. It is not a mere fight between the ins and the outs. A great national and imperial issue is pending. President Taft has told us one solemn truth. Canada is at the parting of the ways. It is no small thing which drove Mr. Sifton, Mr. German and Mr. Lloyd Harris, all Liberal members, and one of them a former minister, to resist the government policy in the House of Commons. Only a departure of the gravest moment would have driven eighteen leading Liberal business men of Ontario to issue their protest against the treaty and to organize a league to oppose it. Again we point out that one of these Libera's is president of the Toronto Board of Trade, and three others have held that office; that one has been deputy minister of justices, and one lieutenant governor of Ontario. One has been, or is now, president of the second largest bank in Canada, and others are known to trade and industry throughout Canada. Among others who have raised their voice against reciprocity, is the last Liberal premier of Ontario, now a senator of Canada. Mr, Sifton has made an appeal to the Canadian Clubs. There are many loyal and national societies which will find it impossible to be neutral! with the reciprocity issue before the country. Many persons whose position and professional relations cause them to withdraw from political controversy find it wrong to keep silent' In this emergency, and Impossible to | refrain from a protest by ballot. A fair share of the leaders in business In the commercial, industrial i and financial centres have until now given tlie Laurier administration j their support. They took notice of, the fact that the government did not. j destroy the national policy. They found that unrestricted reciprocity and commercial union were dropped.) They observed that the government | was going forward with the develop-1 ment of ihe west and continued the policy of railway development even to the limit of recklessness. It is well known that manufacturers, railway builders and contractors have nol left, ministers without campaign funds. Bul the suilili'ii change of programme and the restoration of the- eiid policy of entanglement with THE LAST ELECTION In the election of 190S the Liberals elected 134 members and the Conservatives S7. According to the statement of the Clerk of the Crown In Chancery the popular vote stood: Liberal 596„533 Conservative 579,571 Majority 16,962 If the parties had been represented according i.o the vote the membership would have been: Liberals 112 Conservatives 109 Following is the standing of the House by provinces: Liberal Con.

The last time was in 1878, when a Liberal government went to the country with high hopes and its opponents achieved one of the most decisive victories in the politics of the Dominion, says the Edmonton Journal. The date of the voting in that year was on September 17, four days earlier than that which Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his colleagues have now picked upon. Will history repeat itself? The situation then and now offers another parallel. It was a trade issue which brought about the defeat of the government in 1878. It thought that its fiscal policy was so completely in line with public sentiment that the possibility of defeat was never suggested. The Laurier administration challenges a popular verdict with undoubted self-confidence. If it did not think that it could win out, there would of course be no premature dissolution. But its leaders and its newspapers do not speak half as vauntingly as did their predecessors a third of a century ago. Pride has many a time gone before destruction and a haughty spirit before its fall. Such was certainly the case with the Mackenzie government and it will as surely be so with that which as occupied the place of power since 1896. Sir John A. .Macdonald raised the banner of economic independence. Mr. Borden is doing the same. The same forces that made victory for the old leader are bound to come to the support of the man who now wears his mantle. But the latter's task is rendered less dififcult for another reason. Mr. .Mackenzie's government had been in powev but four and a half years. Sir Wilfrid's for over fifteen. Where the one had given exceptionally honest and businesslike administration and was in the full flush of vigor and youth, the other has all the weaknesses of a long tenure of office, with the Inevitable record of departmental scandal and of internal fueds to contend with. If ever a time was ripe for a Conservative victory, It Is the present and In the testimony of both the present and the past the party should find everything to encourage It to go into the fray with courage nnd confidence. The cause which it is championing Is one that must appeal to all who have the future welfare of the country at heart. It is a vast responsibility which is committed to those who are citizens of Canada at the present moment. On the verdict which they render the course which the enormous development in prospect for us is to take will very largely depend. It is no ordinary feeling of partisan loyalty, therefore, which should inspire those who will rally in the course of the next few weeks to the support of the men who are leading the onslaught on the forces that have too long held the reins of authority. [EMIT DUTY Government Allows Coal From U. S. to t'onie in Free to Overcome Effects of Strike That the efforts of the various boards of trade, business en's associations and labor organizations In ihe province of Alberta to bring about a remission of the Canadian customs duties on coal imported from the United States have been productive of results Is evidenced by the fact that an order in council has been passed suspending all duties on coal for a period of two weeks. The news of the action of the government was contained in a telegram received by Hon. C. R. Mitchell, attorney general and acting premier of the province. The telegram follows: Ottawa, Oont., Aug. 1. 1911—Hon. C. R. Mitchell, Acting Premier, Alberta, Edmonton, Alta.—The federal government has passed an order in council authorizing the remission of duties on coal importated into Alberta on and after August 7, provided work is not resumed at the mines by that date; such remission of duties to continue for a period of two weeks after the enactment of a further order which' may be passed by the governor In council, revoking the present order, and which it is the intention of the government to pass as soon as in the judgment of the governor in council mining operations have been sufficiently resumed to meet public requirements. W. L. MACKENZIE KING, Minister of Labor. o Wrecked on Island After a very narrow escape from drowning Austin Brown of this city has returned from a prospecting tour on the west coast of Graham Island. With Henry Edenshaw, Matthew Youmans and a young son of Mr. Edenshaw, Mr. Brown was caught in rough weather off the west coast of the island. They were caught in an open boat, which could not live in the surf encountered. The boat capsized but fortunately the force of the waves threw them all landwards and they managed by holding too the boat to reach shore.

The road, having been all graded and cleared, the government is now preparing to macadamize it, and by next year there will be one of the finest roads from Vancouver to tbe United States boundary that exists anywhere. TRAINING TEACHERS VICTORIA—One has only to visit the camp outside Work Point barracks to see some of the benefits the school teachers have obtained from their month's course of training for the cadet instructors' course. Bronzed and smiling faces, brawny limbs, and a generally soldierly and alert appearance tell their own story, says the Colonist. Such results were confirmed by conversation with the twenty-one volunteers taking part, who have come from public schools in all parts of the province and have derived must enjoyment as they have knowledge from their first experience of military life. They have been encamped since July 4, and every day since then have gone through a regular and systematic course of military training to prepare them for their practical and theoretical examinations for Hie cadet in- The British Columbia Company LIMITED.

Salvage Company at Esquimalt was in port on Sunday night. She is doing fishery patrol duty while the steamer Kestrel is being overhauled. Captain Newcomb is on board her representing the Dominion government and directing the course of the vessel. BID CAPTAIN FAREWELL When the Princess Beatrice visited port last week Captain Locke, formerly master of the Amur, was In command. Captain Whiteley, who has just left the steamer was very popular. He has taken up his work as a Victoria pilot. When the steamer reached the wharf at Victoria on her last trip, under command of Captain Whiteley, he was summoned to the saloon, where the ship's company had gathered, and Chief Officer J. Shaw presented him with a gold mounted umbrella, accompanied by an illuminated address signed by all hands, from chief officer to cabin boy, congratulating the piaster on his appointment and expressing regret that he was leaving the steamer where he was so well liked by all hands. SEALING AGREEMENT The Algerine lias not been instructed lo order the Victoria sealing schooners.! essie, Pescawha, Thomas F. Bayard and Lady Mines back from Bering Sea lor the new pelagic sealing agreement is not to come into force until netx spring. This means that the schooners will complete the present season in Bering Sea, wliere 36 Japanese sealers will also work. No word has yet been received from Ottawa regarding arrangement for the compensation of the local sealers, whose claims, as a result of the stoppage of the industry, amount to in the neighborhood of $500,000, which is a small portion of the amount which the Canadian government, will receive as a result of the arrangement, With the coming into force of the agreement next spring clearances will be refused to all sealers to operate north of the 35th parallel of north latitude in the Pacific, but the work of the hunters off Cape Horn and in the south seas will not be interfered wiiee. The Japanese government will he- gin the killing of seals ashore at Robben bank, or as the Japanese re- christened this place after its capture from the Russians, Arazashi Islet, in April next. Since the Japanese took over this rookery it has been carefully protected, the old cruiser Musashi being ordered to patrol the nearby seas and a guard equipped with a field gun has been stationed there. Seals have increased as a result of this protection and the total number there is estimated at 6,000. Arrangements will be made by a Japanese commossion as soon as Messrs. Dauke and Kitahara arrive home via Siberia from Washington as to the number of seals to be killed yearly, and Canada is to receive 20 per cent of tlie gross proceeds under the arrangement. FLOATING CANNERY The ship Glory of the Seas, which went through troublous times early this year and eventually appeared as a bone of contention in the admiralty court, has taken on another phase of activity and is now reported as a successful vessel engaged as a floating cannery In northern waters. From Juneau, Alaska, a despatch says that the Glory of the Seas Is pursuing a triumphant course, with all sails set, in the wake of king and other varieties of salmon, canning the salmon as they are caught. The Glory of the Seas lay in Esquimalt harbor for some months pending the hearing of a libel suit brought by the former crew In the admiralty court for wages due for a cruise in the norlh. The former owner did not oppose the suit, but consented to the sale of the ship and the use of the money to discharge the debts. The sale resulted in the payment of all dues and the large ship then passed into the hands of a Seattle firm, who were represented at the sale by J. C. Johnston of Seattle. She was taken to Seattle and commissioned, and sailed l'roih that port to the salmon fisheries. In northern waters she Is moving from p'ace to place in accordance with the migration of the various varieties of salmon, and is reported a tremendous success as a floating cannery. By canning the fish the day they are caught and b keeping in the wake of the moving sockeyes. etc., It is believed by her captain that he will be able to operate for a much longer season that the plans which are established upon the shore. o WICKERSHAM AFFAIR House Committee Reports Evidence Taken in Connection Witli Alaska Delegate's Charges Following general charges and denials between the two Wickershams of the government—the attorney general and the delegate from Alaska— the house committee on judiciary decided that it had no power to do anything but report the vldence to the house, says a Washington despatch. It will report Delegate Wickershani's resolution, calling on the attorney general to furnish all the papers and data bearing on the alleged frauds in connection with government coal contracts. The committee will not recommend that the house investigate Delegate Wicker- sham's charges that Attorney General Wickershaiu has shielded and protected Alaska "syndicate criminals." In a hearing enlivened with fre- (liient and bitter clashes between the two Wickershams, it developed that the delegate from Alaska had offered his legal services in 1908 to the Guggenheim interests in the Northwestern Commercial Company for a salary of $15,000 a year and the main- Seattle, the proposal being made in reply to an offer by the Guggenheims. The Alaska delegate renewed his statements that the attorney general had shielded and protected lawbreakers who represented the Guggenheim interests in Alaska. Members of the judiciary committee frequently called on him to prove statements he made, and in some cases challenged the sufficiency of his proof. Attorney General Wickersham declared that the charges of the Alaskan delegate called for vigorous denial from the fovernment officials. o '** •J* *** *»* ■$- *** 9 *** *J* *•* *** v *** *** *** *»* *•* *** *** *»* *** **■ *** *** *** *** ! LIFE AND DEATH ! * * lie * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dr. Andrew Wilson writes an interesting article on the two great mysteries of life and death. He says: It is only repeating a truism to assert that death divides the Interest of life with birth and development, therefore it Is not surprising to find that the subject of death has always occupied a very large place in the literature both of scientific and of ordinary kind. The topic, besides is many sided. Scientifically, we are interested in the causes and manner of death, and in the phenomena which accompany the flickerings of the lamp of life. Theologians devote their energies to discussions regarding the nature of the existence after death which nearly all religious systems postulate. A third body seeks to penetrate the veil which hids the beyond from us, and to establish evidence that communication between the living and the sentient dead, if 1 may so term the "intermediate" state which is theoretically set forth, Is not only a possibility hut an actuality. There are others who deal with the subject after their own Ideas and fashions, but of all the episodes which dying and death include, the two first mentioned hold deepest sway over mankind. What death really means physically, or, as the theologian would say, spiritually, are the special phases of thought that engage the attention of humanity. I have been perusing a bulky volume entitled, "Death: Its Causes and Phenomena," by Hereward Carring- ton and Jonn R. Meader, and the perusal has served once more to demonstrate to me how hopeless Is all our searching after the exact nature of death itself—its intimate causation, I mean—and how equally futile is the search after direct evidence (I do not refer to religious faith) regarding the state or phrase of existence, if such there be, which supervene when we have crossed "the bourne from which no traveller returns." People often neglect to note that death and life are conipleniental mysteries. To the question "What Is Life?" no definite reply can be returned; simi arly to th e query "What, is Deaili?" we can only reply "the cessation of life," which leaves the problem exactly where we found it. I do not get any help from Messrs. Carringthon and Meader's book. It is bulky, discursive and wanders over and around every conceivable subject, from the signs of death to descriptions of death "beyond the veil." We read of accounts given by "spirits" concerning the "process of dying" (and after). We even find photographs of bodies taken after death with mystical globes of light and other luminous manifestations appearing around the body.

It is very doubtful, however, whether the intellectual nourishment to be gained by a perusal of this book on "Death" really compensates for the labor of travelling through its pages. It stands as a discursive work, composed of all kinds of opinions and testimonies, collated with a very big sweep of the net, indeed, in contradistinction to the works, say, of Myers. He wrote with a philosophical mind, and his unbiassed sittings of the evidence left him (as regards the question of the power of communicating with the dead, at least) as it leaves us all, as ignorant of the state "beyond the veil" as were the first men who essayed to solve the problem of the hereafter. Mr. Carrington has, of course, his own theory of the nature of the death. We are not any wiser when we have mastered his hypothesis. He conceives that "raising the dead" is a phenomenon which might be far more frequently represented if the "laws of life were more thoroughly understood." Which is as much as to say that as we do not know the so-ca'led "laws of life," an expres sion I take to mean that "nature of life," so we cannot tell what death really is. Mr. Carrington, I fear must be regarded as hopeless from the scientific point of view, for we find him asking why, "on the materialistic theory," whatever that may mean, "stoppage of the heart, or its emptying of blood, should cause sudden death?" The only answer is that the circulation of blood is a condition of life's 'maintenance, and that living tissue can only exist through constant nourishment. This answer should suffice for any reasonable soul. What might be a sensible question would be that which inquired why life, in high and low spheres alike, can only be so maintained ? I wonder whether Mr. Carrington has ever chanced to reflect that the mystery which attends the life of an amoeba—a blob of protoplasm living in the pools—is just as great, if not greater, than that which encompasses the existence of man. Here is a speck of living matter, eating, moving, and reproducing its kind, alive In all Its parts; it dies in time, and the mystery of Its death Is, In turn, as deep as that which faces us when i.nother microscopic living unit, say, the brain cell of a man, ceases to function. Possibly the cause of death Is similar in each case. The living substance no longer receives its nourishment as it grows 1836 1911 The Bank of British North America 75 Vcjri In Biileereel.

We, scorning the often irreverent charlatanism that asserts its power (at a fee) to converse with the dead, may, much more wisely re-echo old Omar's lines: Strange is it not that of the myriads who Before us passed tne door of Darkness through, Not one returns to tell us of the Road, Which to discover we must travel too? CUTTING DOWN PARK Anger and amazement have been created at Galgary and in Banff by the leaking out of the fact that the Dominion government has decided to cut several Ihousand square miles off the area of the Rocky Mountain National Park, of which Banff is the centre says the Edmonton Journal. On June 8 last an order-in-council was passed at Ottawa converting the entire northern section of the park into a forest reserve and taking it out of the jurisdiction of Commissioner Howard Douglas. This order- in-council was never made public, but now the news has leaked out at Banff, and has created consternation. An indignation meeting of the Banff board of trade was held Sunday af ternoon al which some very hard tilings were said about the government, and the Alberta Fish and Game Protective Association has wired a strong protest to Ihe government. The fact that the size of the park had been cut down and the part taken away converted into a forest reserve would not matter so much were fears not expressed that the game regulations which for years have been enforced in the park, will not. apply to the section taken away. At its narrowest part the park will now be only sixteen and a half miles in width, where tt formerly was a hundred. The part created into a forest reserve contains the breeding round of all the sheep, goats and other wild animals, which should be in the mountains. If the game regulations are not made to apply to this part it will imply that the game will be slaughtered on grounds which they have learned from long experience is sacred. The result will be the ultimate disappearance of all game from this section of the Rockies. Sportsmen and hunters are naturally greatly incensed and it is feared that i the work of ten years will be undone in a few months. Excursions!

Undertaking Will Re Started ut an Early Date From the Pas Action looking to the construction of the Hudson's Bay Railway will be taken immediately. Following the government's decision to construct the railway itself, surveys were completed and tenders asked for last June for the construction of the first 200 miles extending from Pas Mission, Keewatin territory, to Thicket Portage and running in a northeasterly direction through the country north of the Saskatchewan River. Tenders have been opened. In all, eight were received, but the choice, it is said, was narrowed down to two, those submitted by J. D. McArthur of Winnipeg and M. J. O'Brien. It is the intention of the government to start the work of construction at the earliest possible moment and It is regarded as likely that the successful contractor will be at work before September 1. Con- slruction will commence from the north end of the government bridge over the Saskatchewan at the Pas. If. as Is probable, Port Nelson Is selected as the terminal port, the railway will be approximately 500 miles in length and the government anticipates putting down a considerable portion of the first 200 miles of roadbed provided for by the present contract before the advent of winter. o NO LABOR FAMINE west, this province will otbain her full share. "The Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk Pacific railways are prepared to send in a couple of thousand laborers immediately. At Toronto crowds are flocking to the offices of the provincial departments or to the offices of the railway companies, eager to make the journey into the west, and earn the high wages which are to be paid during the western farmer hustling season. "The railway companies were companies were afraid that if they granted through tickets to Alberta j in connection with their harvest excursions, this province would get the lion's share of the supply of harvest hands, but we are confident that the supply will be met." A large force of men is to be employed by the provincial government to supply intending harvesters with detailed information as to the need for hands in various parts of Alberta. The force will be under the direction of Commissioner Daley in Winnipeg, and a list compiled from the statistics of various districts will be at their command. Farmers who are in need of help have been appealed to by the department of agriculture to send in a list of the men required, and when the hands who are to gather in the bumper crops leave Winnipeg they will in many Instances have determined their exact destination in advance. IMMIGRATION FRAUDS (Continued from Page Three) Alberta Will Have Plenty of Work- ers for Tills Vein's Harvest "The Albertan's farmers' call foi harvesters Is meet'ng with a ready response in Ontario and the notliern states," says Publicity Commissioner Hotchkiss, "and the prospects are that of the abundance of labor In tbe east generally available for the work of atherlng in the crops of the Egg Competition Great Interest is manifested by provincial poultrymen in the egg- laying competition, which Ib to continue for one year from October 1 next, under the joint auspices of the provincial association and the Vancouver exhibition directorate, entries for which are to clOBe on the 14 th prox.

Oliver, detailing the system of fraud practiced by the Chinese both as regards evading head tax and smuggling opium. That report is completely verified in every detail by the evidence given before Commissioner Murphy two years after, and the commissioner makes that two- year-old report of mine the basis of the only conclusions and recommendations that are relevant or worthy of consideration in his own report now laid on the table of the House. But when I made that report In November, 1909, Mr. Oliver was afraid to act upon it. I urged him strongly one day in February, 1910, saying that not only was the continuing fraud bad alike for the reputable Chinese and the whites, but that the government' was losing hundreds of thousands of dollars of revenue. Mr. Oliver, in his own frank phraseology, replied: "To hell with the government; I'm not going to mix up in the thing and get old Cartwright jumping on me in council." About March, however, a copy of this last report came into the hands of Mr. O'Hara, and he began inquiries on his own account; Inquiries which he pushed to a successful conclusion. In July, he instructed Secret Service Officer Foster—a man familiar with the coast, and who had done good service there during the Asiatic troubles—to go to Vancouver and observe the working of the Chinese Immigration Act at that port. At the same time Sir Wilfrid, then acting minister of the interior issued the following order: "That T. R. E. Mclnnes should again visit the western provinces with a view to his reporting along the same lines as he did in his reports to the minister of the 10th December, 1908, and the 10th November, 1909, touching on the immigration questions and the adminlstatlon of the Immigration Act in these provinces. Mr. Mclnnes will return In the month of September next, and his employment will be on the same terms as authorized before by the minister." Now, Foster, although a very ca- able officer, would have been helpless at Vancouver 1n this matter without the assistance which 1 was able to give or procure for him, because he had no special knowledge of Chinese, and he had to encounter the strong opposition of the govern ment officials, and the C. P. R. and other steamship company , officials, and also political influences on both sides. The Liberal patronage committee for some reason wanted no interference with the status qou; the Conservatives did not want to assist for various reasons. The Chinese ring took advantage of the situation. Having got Foster under way, assisted by David Lew, I went to Calgary and gave Sir Wilfrid an interim verbal report. He approved and said to proceed, and I did so. When the time was ripe for the sudden suspension of Yip On, I wired to Sir Wilfrid's secretary, asking that it be done, and my suggestions were carried out to the letter. As a result the system of fraudulent entry was exposed, some of the guilty .officials have been recommended for prosecution and given time to escape, and a complete change In the administration of the Chinese Act along the lines which I recommended in 1909 has taken place. This brings me to the third charge which I make. If the government had acted immediately on the commissioner's report being received the guilty Chinese could have been arrested and tried, and at such trial much more evidence implicating others could have been brought out. I know that the recently smashed smuggling ring counted upon political protection; they thought they had secured the friendship of leading Liberal and Conservative, politicians in Vancouver, to such an extent as to make them Immune from prosecution. Nevertheless, the ring has been smashed, and their revenues from smuggling of immigrants and opium have for the present been cut off. Some people are very sore over this whole affair, and these people are not all Chinese by any means, although they seem to have a very yellow streak in them. As I happen to be the main Instrument of their undoing there is nothing at which they will stop to injure of vilify me. And Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Hon. Frank Oliver, Instead of having sufficient manliness to at least make my position honorably clear to the public, say nothing, or insinuate, as Sir Wilfrid did on Friday, that the government had nothing to do with me or my part in the affair. As to the first and second charges; the second was made clear in my explanation of the fourth. Now as to the first: The commission- THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE SIR EDMUND WALKER, C.V.O., LL.D., D.C.L, President ALEXANDER LAIRD, General Manager CAPITAL, - $10,000,000 ^^^^^^^^^^___ REST, - $7,000,000 DRAFTS ON FOREIGN COUNTRIES Every branch of The Canadian Bank of Commerce is equipped to issue drafts on the principal cities in the following countries without delay : Africa Crete Ambit ( Cuba Argentine Republic Denmark Australia Austria-Hungary Belgium Brazil Bulgaria Ceylon Chili China Egypt Faroe Island, Finland Formosa France Greece Holland Iceland India Ireland Italy Japan Java Fr'ch Cochin China Malta Germany Manchuria Great llritain Mexico New Zealand Norway Panama Persia Peru Philippine Islands Portugal Roumania Russia Ser%'ia Severn Siberia Soudan South Africa Spain Straits Settlement* Sweden Switzerland Turkey United State Uruguay West Indies, etc. H^e amount of these drafts is stated in the money of the country where they are payable j that is they are drawn in sterling, francs, marks, lire, kronen, florins, yen, taels, roubles, etc, as the case may be. This ensures that the payee abroad will receive the actual amount intended. 233 J. M. CHRISTIE, Manager, Prince Rupert Branch er's mission was to Inquire into the working of the Chinese Immigration Act, evasions of it, suggested improvements, and as a side issue the question of opium smuggling. He was not commissioned to whitewash Templeman or the Liberal executive, or to vilify myself or Gordon Grant or David Lew or Officer Foster or other persons supposed to be distasteful to the ruling Liberal clique of Vancouver. He made a farce of the session of the commission by inviting all sort of irrelevant evidence which might or might not affect the status of the Liberal party In Vancouver but which had clearly nothing to do with evasions of the Chinese Immigration Act. For instance, he brought in Joe Martin to say that Bob Kelly sold the political positions of Vancouver; then he brought in Bob Kelly to say Joe Martin was a liar; and so on ad nauseam. But to the real subject under investigation not one-half of the time of the commission was devoted to it. Then In his findings he first whitewashes Templeman (who had not been accused), whitewashes the Liberal executive (which was not the subject of investigation) and then he finds me (under a special authority from the premier to Investigate) guilty of intrigue for bo doing, saying that I, to use his own puerile way of pitting it, tried "to establish some sort of connection with the administration of the Chinese Restriction Act at Vancouver by obtaining control of the Chinese interpreter and possibly in other ways. Its object was to serve some persona] ends." He associates Gordon Grant and David Lew with me in this. And yet it was Gordon Grant as counsel sanctioned by Sir Wilfrid before Templeman had him ousted in favor of one of his own pets who secured the success of the preliminary investigation; and it was David Lew upon whom Commissioner Murphy himself had to depend to secure evidence, and reliable interpretation, to the very last session of the commission. Then this brave commissioner attacks one of the most faithful and tried police officers in the Dominion service by intimating that he was so weak or venal that I secured him and "utilized him to advance this Intrigue." Judge Murphy descends to playing politics of the meanest variety had his first four findings: had been drafted for him by the Liberal executive there would have been no variation In the language. His other findings are simply what I recommended or stated in my report to the government of November, 1909. I will publish that report and let the public compare It with Murphy's report, and it will be evident where he gets whatever there Is of value in it. His last findings as to opium, saying "that its consumption must be discouraged by drastic amendments" shows that he does not even keep abreast of the acts of parliament. I drew for Mackenzie King this session the new Opium Act, which Is the most drastic and effective act against the use of opium and cocaine to be found on the statute books of America. (Ottawa) T. R.

AMONG THE MINES I * * 4- * ***************************************************** HARD COAL I offices in Paris and branches throughout the Old and New World, has a "finger in the pie" wherever the precious metal is forced from the bosom of Mother Earth, and in Europe, Africa, Asia, North and South America, Bloch money has helped develop mineral resources. "It's true that I came here with Monsier Bernay, one of our firm's consulting engineers, to look into a number of tempting propositions that have been made to our firm by our agents," said Monsieur Bloch when seen at the hotel Elysium. "We have had our eye on British Columbia and the Yukon district for some time, but we have been so busy in other parts that we could not until now devote sufficient time to the local field. Recent reports, however, from our local correspondents have been so favorable and tempting that I have decided to come out here myself and look over the field. "Of course, I cannot say at this moment which are the exact places that we have in mind for closer inspection, because that might interfere with our ultimate plans, but I am willing to say that business conditions here appear very sound and seem withstand close scrutiny and that alone is a pretty safe sign. Besides that, this province, in almost all mining districts, has excellent railway facilities, which is highly encouraging. ,"We are going to stay in this province for several weeks and I am pretty certain that we will be among Britisii Columbia's taxpayers before many moons are passed, provided Monsier Bernay finds that the prop- sitlons which we will inspect will come up to the flattering reports." cSOfo. .locatetot,th-Becmfwypcmf{wl o From Jordan River, near Victoria, has been brought a report of a find of a big seam of anthracite coal eight feet thick on a hill back of the camp of the Vancouver Island Power Company. Opinion is divided over the authenticity of the report. The story was brought by returned workmen, and was to the effect that when cutting tiie right-of-way for a railroad for the V. I. P. Company and the Canadian Puget Sound Lumber Company the railroad workers uncovered coal. It was hard coal, anthracite, they said, and the story was to the effect that the seam uncovered was no less than eight feet thick. If this report proves correct the find will mean much to Vancouver Island. Heretofore only soft coal has been mined "on the Island. o MAY LOCATE WORKS Sir Donald Mann Has in View Installing a Mueller in Stewart According to Toronto despatches Stewart may be selected as the point for the establishment of a big smelter, says the Portland Canal Miner. Shareholders of the Island Smelting and Refining Company, the big $10,- 000,000 corporation organized by Sir Donald D. Mann, have agreed that a testing plant be established in Britisii Columbia for the treatment of lead, zinc and other refactory ores, and in view of Sir Donald's large mining interests in the Portland Canal district this point was suggested as the most advantageous. The Toronto company has acquired the patents of a process that has revolutionized the reduction of ores, as outlined some time ago in The Journal, and If the Island Smelting and Refining Company can do what . is asked of them, Sir Donald Mann, ac- codrdlng to what was stated at the meeting, obligates himself to proceed with the protection of the patents throughout the world, and the establishment of a reduction works in this province. For this purpose the sum of $100,000 is set aside to protect any infringements. Sir Donald . ann will shortly visit Stewart in company with some noted mining engineers and smelter experts. By that time the railway will be completed to the junction of American Creek and Bear River and an announcement regarding both the continuation of the railway eastward and the construction of a smelting plant by the Island Smelting and Refining Company will probably be given. Representing Sir Donald at the recent meeting of the patent smelting company in Toronto was M. I. Stewart, formerly of Stewart, who has become a heavy shareholder. His father, F. P. Stewart, was in Stewart last week, and confirmed the information given above. o . INDIAN MINES SLOGAN'S MINES Development Work on the Standurd and Rambler-Cariboo Will Make Them Dividend Payers Showing nt the Property Is Good— Fine Body of Ore Is Opening Up George Clothier is back from an Inspection trop to the Indian mines on Salmon River and reports that every foot being driven is showing good results. The open cut below the big galena exposure has opened upon twenty-five feet of an ore shoot, eight feet of solid ore being exposed in the face which will be extended by further crosscuttlng. The. main tunnel, 150 feet vertically below, Is In a distance of seventy feet, the last ten feet being on the vein. Charles Guzman -of Ketchikan was In the city last week on his way to Stewart. He will inspect the Indian mines, in which he is interested, and In which he has the greatest faith. o LOOKING TO PROVINCE Great Mining Brokers Will Invest in British Columbia and Yukon That Europe's greatest mining brokers have their eyes on Britisii Columbia and the Yukon Territory has become known with the arrival of Monsieur Edmond Bloch, who, accompanied by one of his family's consulting engineers, Monsieur Henri Bernay, has come to this city from Paris via New York, says the Victoria Colonist, to investigate in person a number of mining propositions in this province, favorably reported upon by the firm's local agents. The firm of Paul Bloch, with beau Public interested centred in the development of the Standard and the Rambler-Cariboo mines in the Siocan B. C. district will be greatly accen tuated within the next 60 day, when according to H. D. J. Jackson, a mining expert of Spokane, the two properties will be placed upon a dividend paying basis. The net earnings of the two mines, which are controlled by Spokane operators and associates is estimated at $400,000 a month. Work is being rushed to equip the Standard with tramway, compressor and concentrator, and it is announced that the mine should be in post tlon to ship fully 200 tons of ore dally the early part of September. Half oi the product will be clean ore, going directly to the smelter, and the rest of lower grade is to be treated in the new mill. The tramway will have a capacity of 20 tons an hour, or 200 tons in a ten hour shift. The mill will treat from 100 to 125 tons a day. The ore and concentrates will yield a net proft of $60 a ton and on that basis it is estimated the earnings will be about $200,000 a month. The latest news from the Standard is that the ore body has been encountered in the No. 6 tunnel level, which is 240 feet below No. 5 level, where the most extensive work has been done in the big ore shoot. The point where the ore was encountered was so far from wliere the beginning of the ore shoot was expected to be found that it was not at first thought to belong to that body. While this has not been demonstrated, recent developments make ft appear so. At any rate, the work during the next few weeks will settle this point. If It is a part of the main ore shoot, then that body undoubtedly Is much longer on the No. 6 level than it was on either side of the higher levels. The ore shoot recently broken into on the 1,200 foot level of the Rambler-Cariboo has widened from two feet of clean ore to tbe full width of the shaft. This is the second of the three lenses which have been well developed on, the 900 foot level. Where opened on the 1,050 foot level, the same lens had a width of only one foot, which gradually wid. ened to a maximum of six and a half feet. Ore from the Rambler Cariboo mine shows a higher grade of silver than the Standard ore, ranging from 100 to 150 ounces to the ton. The lead value of both mines is between 50 and 60 per per cent. The Rambler-Cariboo mine also will be equipped as quickly as possible with a tramway and concentrator. The tramway Is to have a capacity of 200 tons a day and the mill will treat not less than 100 tons In the 24 hours. Production from the mine will be near that of the JBSL >.«?> THE JOURNAL $2.00 a Year | Job Printing I If you want your printing handled expeditiously by thoroughly trained and ex perienced printers have it done at the Journal Office.

The authorized capital is $3,000,000. It is understood that the flotation proved very successful. According to the prospectus issued In London the companies forming the merger are as follows: Canadian Pacific Lumber Company, Ltd., Port Moody; Anglo-American Lumber Co., Ltd., Vancouver; Gibbons Lumber Company, Arrow Lake; Barkley Sound Cedar Company, Ltd., Alberni Canal, Vancouver Island: and the Rivers Inlet Timber Syndicate, Owe- kano Lake. They own four sawmills with an estimated sawing capacity of 270,000 feet dally. The total timber holdings of the combination is given at 2,337,469,000 feet. The value of all their freehold and leasehold lands, and plant and equipment, Is placed at $638,000 and $572,000 respectively. For the first four months of this year the profits of the Canadian Pacific Lumber om- pany at Port Moody and the Anglo- American Lumber Company are given as $37,000 and $54,000 respectively. The prospectus points out that up to the present time the timber has been left practically untouched, and the profits have been almost wholly earned by manufacturing lumber from logs purchased in the open markets. It is intended to continue this policy for the present, as it is firmly believed that the timber will increase materially in value from year to year, as has been the experience in other parts of Canada and thhe United States. The directors of the new corporation are as follows: M. B. Carlin, Victoria; W. W. Fraser, Winnipeg; R. W. Gibson and J. D. McArthur, Winnipeg; and Thomas Meredith, New Westminster. ACQUIRES LIBRARY Rare and Unrivalled Records Western Canadian Exploration Secured of To form the backbone of the provincial library when It is housed In the fine new library wing to be erected on Parliament Square, the splendid historical library of Mr. Justice Martin has been acquired on behalf of the government by Ethelbert O. S. Scholefield, librarian and archiogtsl of the province, who is now engaged in completing the arrangements and catalogues of the volumes for their new home, says the Victoria Times. The collection is the result of close upon a quarter of a century's untir- in geffort on the part of the learned judge, and the very valuable collection, which In particular, Is unriv- | ailed in bearing upon the exploration of the Dominion west of Lake Superior, also includes the collector's own work on the Hudson's Bay Company's Land Tenures," and "Lord Selkirk's Settlers in Red River ".published In London In 1898, together with volumes by the same author on the mining lands of this province, and other erudite subjects. In assisting Mr. Scholefield to value the library, Dr. F. C. New- combe of Victoria and his hour Judge Howay, acting on behalf of the government, lent valuable expert assistance. For several years the collection of rare volumes, maps, charts, engravings and manuscripts, had taxed to the utmost the private library of the owner, and, indeed, part of it had perforce to be stored in safetay vaults, which, of course, rendered it inconvenient for either Mr. Justice Martin or the many people who so frequently sought reference to the collection to readily refer to the works. In these circumstances, the suggestion made by Mr. Scholefield that the collection should be purchased by the government and placed in the proposed new fire proof library at the parliament buildings, where It would be both easily accessible and free from danger of being destroyed, did not fall to appeal to the collector, and although he naturally ox- perlenced keen regret at letting the fruits of so many years' systematic searchings over ....mographlc regions of Europe and Canada go out of bis own possession yet, as It woulel still be available for Victorians, the sale was eventually arranged, and the government library is Incomparably the richer for it. These unequalled historical records include practically all the scarcest books and pamphlets on the whole subject of Northwesl Cana- eliana, the Rockies, In 1823-3 by Hudson's Bay Company's officers, and perhaps the chief trasure is the original log of the ship Imperial Eagle, which, under command of Captain Charles Barkley, visited these shore's in 177*.

Criticism Offered by an Edmonton Paper of the Course Followed The dissolution of parliament brings an end to the investigation into the charges against Hon. Frank Oliver. It is said that Mr. Oliver is very much put out over the result, that he wanted' the matter gone into thoroughly in order that his character as a public man should stand quite unsullied when he comes back west to seek the suffrage of the electors, says the Edmonton Journal. A little examination of the facts will show what a pitiful pretense all this is. When the session was resumed at the middle of last month no move was made to proceed with the hearing till Mr. Borden called attention to the need for taking action. At last a meeting of the committee was called for July 25. It was immediately announced that all those whose names had been mentioned in connection with the charges, including the bank officials, were being subpoenaed. Mr. Mei- gben, one of the Conservatives on the committee, urged on its assembling that there be no delay in getting to work as dissolution rumors were in the air. Several material witnesses were then present, including the man who denounced the minister of the interior to the premier. But the Liberals asked for an adjournment on the ground that one of their number was not present. This was finally agreed to, August 1 being fixed as the day when the proceedings should begin, on the assurance being given by the chairman that the House would be sitting then. As we know, it was dissolved on Saturday and the committee is thus permanently out of business. There is only one conclusion to be reached from a study of the history of this investigating body. The Liberals made quite a show of being willing to conduct a thorough enquiry, knowing that, when the witnesses were on deck the House would have passed out of existence. Why, if they wede willing to hear these witnesses, who should have been able to cast light on the transactions that have been been given so much publicity to did they not call them away last spring At that time not only was nothing done to secure their presence, but no assurance could be obtained that the committee would be empowered to hear them. When you read of the grief of Mr. Oliver over the hard turn of events which prevented him from meeting his accusers, get a copy of Hansard and turn up the report of the proceedings in the House on the third of May last. One of the speakers in the debate on the functions of the Oliver committee was E. G. Porter. Here is part of what he had to say: "The prime minister," he said, "asks us to consent to the nomination of a tribunal for the purpose of hearing tlie charges which were made to him by Mr. McGIIlicuddy. I would like to ask the prime minister here if he would give us the assurance now that the powers of the committee are wide enough to enable it to call upon Mr. McGIIlicuddy to give the same evidence which he gave or which he tendered to the prime minister, if the prime minister does not do that, it is proof conclusive that he does not expect or does not intend that this House shall have the same opportunity for investigating the charges which were made to him by Mr. McGIIlicuddy against the minister of the Interior that he himself had. There seems to be no answer to that, as the prime minister does not reply. Perhaps the prime minister will tell us? If he wil give us the assur- anec that the committee which he Is appointing now will have full power to investigate and receive the evidence of Mr. McGIIlicuddy as It was given to him or as It was tendered to him? As the prime minister does not answer, I see that he does not intend us to look at the original bank account of which we have seen a photograph, which is the most pos- tive proof we have, although as the minister of the interior himself said, he could, If he chose, allow us to go into his bankeiooks and clear himself, but that he does not intend to do so. If he does not intend to do so. he knows that the scope of this resolution Is not broad enough to allow Mr. McGIIlicuddy or to allow the committee to produce the evidence which might clear up tlie matter." Other membes asked to receive the assurance that Mr, Porter was after, but In vain. -\ow within the past week we havebeen told with a great flourish of trumpets that all the evidence which Mr. Porter and his colleagues sought to have allowed last spring was to be available, that the bank accounts were to be produced and the bank officials brought to Ottawa to explain them. Then before the chance has been given to carry out this programme, in steps the government and has the House dissolved. Was there ever a cheaper or a more transparent bit of party tactics? It was very bold and courageous, but only when it knew that there was no chance that Its courage would be put to the test. As for Mt. Oliver's indignation over the action of his colleagues in rushing dissolution, it is a bit of stage play which can only impress those with poor memories. Can we forget so easl lyhis protests of last spring against the attempt of the vile conspirators to make him divulge his private affairs? "I do not think," he told the House, "that it would add to the dignity of parliament or to the standing of public life In Canada to say that parliament should be the assistant of thugs and blackmailers by requiring the exposure of a bank account on such a statement as has been put before the public." And now he is reported to have threatened toassatilt Mr. Fielding because he insisted on the dissolution before this bank account could be exposed. If anything was needed to convince the electors that the government had i great deal that it wished to cover up in this connection and that Mr. Oliver was really handling money that came into his hanTTs most improperly, this foolish bit of eleventh hour acting should serve the purpose. o DAMAGE TO NIOBE PATRIOTIC WORK Eastern Paper Tells How Cruiser Came to Get Into Dangerous Place. Canadian Warship Was Assigned to Task of Aiding Celebration The Nova Scotia Pilot, referring to the accident to the Niobe, the Canadian cruiser, says: Yarmouth harbor accommodates vessels of from 15 to 20 feet draught, while the Niobe draws 27 1-2 feet. Against these disadvantages Yarmouth can set the great advantage of being a strongly Liberal town. An election is approaching, a local festival was being held, and to help in the celebration the Niobe was sent. She could not enter the harbor. She had to stay in the roadstead, and was caught and had to fight her way to sea in a combination of wind, fog, and current, off one of the most dangerous coasts in the world. Thus sailors on the Niobe were sent by politicians on a political errand. It may be guessed that every effort will be made to throw all the blame on Captain MacDonald, but the real cause is the use of the ship on the lines of I. C. R. Meanwhile, after patching the ship up, the first step will be to hold a courtniartial on Captain MacDonald for getting his ship ashore. o Jules Levy has returned from the south and is so well satisfied with the progress that Prince Rupert Is making that he has decided to take up his residence here again. He will go into business, probably opening a loan office. Among the visitors to the city by the last ti. T. P. steamer was H. J Cambie, consulting engineer of the ('. P. R. at Vancouver. He accompanied his son, H. B. Cambie of this city, who returned from a vacation in the south. Miss Cambie also ac- companied her father north. Mr. Cambie, who has been Identified with his company for years on the Pacific Coast, was very much Interested in the railway construction here. He went to the end of the steel. Magazine Devoted to Spread of Information About Noted People. Hon. Dr. Young Introduces .Scheme Into Educational Department New They were watching the youngsters on Easter Monday. "It is all nonsense!' exclaimed the man, who is usually out of the house at night and out of temper in the morning. "What do you mean?" inquired his wife, who can smile while she speaks firmly. "This idea of rolling eggs." "Of course, dear; but let the children have their little pleasures, in the course of time they will grow up and realize the superior intellectual development to be attained by striking a white guttapercha hall over Hip grass and following it with a golf club." A genuine innovation, which is a somewhat radical and at the same time exceedingly interesting depart ure in connection with the educational work of British Columbia has just been decided upon by the min Ister of education, Hon. Dr. Young, whose very deep and practical interest In all matters appertaining to the progressive development of the educational affairs of British Columbia will be at once conceded and appreciated by all residents of the province, regarddless of party differences in political faiths. The innovation is one the autnorship of which is the minister's alone, the essential principle of which is to Inspire patriotism by a simple and intelligent presentation to the children of the public schools of all that Is most admirable in the accomplishment of the great statesmen,, soldiers, naval heroes, scientists and leaders in useful thought among the people of Canada and of the Empire. This most desirable educational campaign it is designed to prosecute and advance by means of a small pamphlet or public school magazine of sixteen pages or thereabouts, to be printed under government auspices and distributed monthly to all the public school pupils from the third grade up, the expectation being that a monthly issue of 20,000 copies will be required. The publication will be conducted on lines that will tend to foster and promote a spirit of true imperialism. The contributions each month will include two or three of strictly Canadian interest and two or three imperialistic, the admirable accomplishments of Canadians In all fields of highly useful and patriotic endeavor being given special prominence, but the central idea belnj; to promote the unitv of the Empire. It is expected that the department will soon be in a position to issue the first number soon after the resumption of the schools, in early September. The publication will be freely illustrated by means of line engravings, while the regular contributors will include Miss Maria Lawson and a number of naval and military officers, prominent clergymen, students of statecraft, educationists, and eminent specialists in the domains of science and industrial activity. Special features will be made of historical sketches dealing simply and plainly, in a stle especially adapted to win the attention and be thoroughly understood by youthful readers, of the careers of leading Britisii statesmen, soldiers and naval heroes, and captains of industry, incidents of Canadian and Britisii history, etc. More particularly will attention be given to sketches of the lives of eminent Canadians who have distinguished themselves as statesmen, in the army or navy of their country and inthe fields of science, invention and industrial activity. From one-third to one-half of the space in the forthcoming publication it is proposed to reserve for a record o fthe achievements of those who have played such a patriotic part in the upbuilding of Canada, who have gone from Canada to serve the king and flag in the army or the navy, who have won Rhodes scholarships, or who have graduated from the schools of this country to play the part of useful and patriotic men and women in the educational work of 11lie Dominion and in the advance- I ment of national greatness and Im- j perial unity. Such a policy will readily be recognized as being in thorough and complete harmony with the well known ideas of Hon. Dr. Young as minister of education and his determination to preserve the policy of the educational department as altogether nonpartisan and non-political. The essence of the purpose aimed at in the proposed publication is to Interest and Inspire the pupils of the Britisii Columbia public schools so as to promote their development as staunch and useful Canadians, and true and worthy British subjects. The distribution of the new school journal will be made through the free text book department and preliminary circulars will be sent to the various trustee boards fully explaining the purpose In view, and to the teachers requesting them to see to the proper distribution of the journal and to explain to their pupils Its meaning and significance. The pupils will be requested to take each number home and read its several articles, and the teachers will be invited when opportunity presents itself to review the contents of each number and talk them over with the scholars, with a view to seeing that they otbain a thorough understanding of the various articles and their significance. Every care will be taken that the contents of each number shall be as agreeably diversified as possible in character and of such a nature as to interest youthful readers, be easily understood by them, and systematically and tactfully promote the development of the spirit of patriotism, Canadlanism and love of a united Empire. o ENGINEER'S ASSISTANT Another One Is Needed to Take Place of Mi*.

The Continental Trust Company, Limited SECOND AVENUE The questional an additional assistant to the city engineer came up last evening on the report of the streets committee. This favored the appointment of a man to take the place of Mr. Simpson, who had resigned some weeks ago. The engineer asked for such an appointee at a salary not exceeding $125 a month. This assistant would be engaged in miscellaneous work until the Woodworth proposition was entered upon, when he would give his attention to that branch. Aid. Newton said he would stand for no further increases in the engineering department until he was perfectly sure that the department was not overmanned at present. He had satisfied himself that the staff was too great. Aid. Hilditch felt it was necessary to have this additional help. Colonel Davis asked for a man and he felt he would not ask if it were not necessary. Aid. Douglas said he favored retrenchment. Aid. Kirkpatrick called attention the fact that Aid. Douglas signed the report. Aid. Douglas admitted he did. Aid. Newton contended that Aid. Hilditch did not know whether additional help was needed or not. Aid. Hilditch said he knew it was needed. He knew how much help Colonel Davis needed. He would not go on his knees to plead for it, however, if the council did not want to grant it, they could refuse. Reference being made to the report on the city's engineer's department presented some time ago, Aid. Hilditch said it was not a report of the committee. It was Aid. Newton's report. "It's a deliberate falsehood Aid. Newton. The report carried. l©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©@[n|[D]lgJlO HOTEL ENAMELWARE HAVE JUST RECEIVED A SMALL SHIPMENT OF HOTEL ENAMELWARE ESPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR USE IN HOTELS, RESTAURANTS AND CAMPS.

Box 275 Claim Anticosti It was stated in Montreal that descendants of a French-Canadian family named Lemieux, to the number of 60, will shortly enter suit for the restoration of the title to the island of Anticosti, now in the possession of Menier, the French chocolate king. The Lemieux family, to which the Canadian postmaster general is not related, bases its claims upon its alleged inheritance of the property from one Parent, many years ago, and claims that M. Menier purchased the island at his own risk. Tancrede Pagnuelo, a Montreal lawyer, is stated to be in Paris at the present time looking up documentary evidence in the case. nought Residence E.
