UNFOLDS ITS PLANS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF WORKS HERE BUILD LARGEST DOCKS ON PACIFIC COAST Company Will Begin Construction at Once Upon the Commodious Accommodation for Shipping at Hays Cove—Immense Shops Will be Built and Then in Turn Used to Provide Material for the Floating Docks. The negotiations between the city council and the Grand Trunk Pacific have been concluded and the officials of the company have left again for the east. The visit of Charles M. Hays and his party resulted in an agreement being reached which only requires the assent of the property owners to become effective. The agreement has long been hoped for and the citizens with very few exceptions express themselves as highly pleased that there has been a settlement of this question of taxation and will accordingly do all in their power to see that the necessary bylaw carries. The agreement is based upon the one arrived at in March between the council and Mr. Tate, the solicitor of the company when he was on a visit here for the purpose. With the negotiations went the unfolding by the company of its plans for development in the city. The company agrees to begin work at once upon these in the event of the agreement being entered into. The projects which the Grand Trunk Pacific has in view are far more extensive than had been expected. In the matter of the dry dock alone there has been a much more elaborate scheme evolved by the company than it had in view at the commencement of the undertaking. The negotiations were conducted in a most commendable manner throughout and with the greatest expedition. Amicable Conference Mr. Hays and party arrived here by the Prince Rupert on Wednesday afternoon. At once the council and the officials of the company went Into conference in the police court room and sat practically continuously until 10 o'clock at night when a basis of settlement had been reached. It then remained for the solicitors on each side to complete the formal agreements which occupied most of Thursday. D'Arcy Tate for the company, and Fred Peters, K. C, for the city performed this duty and on both sides the most watchful care was taken to avoid anything that would lead to future difficulty. The agreement is short and explicit. Taxation Fixed The company agrees to pay ?15,- 000 taxation a year upon its property used for railway purposes in the city. This is to continue for ten years from the present date, there being due now $30,000 to cover last year and this year. As soon as any land is alienated in any way it becomes taxable. The copany's leases of land carries with it the usual condition that the lessee is to pay all taxes. On the land held by the Grand Trunk Pacific Development Company which is open to sale, etc., the ordinary rates of taxation will apply and the company pay as a private Individual would. The company also agrees to pay its share of local improvement taxation on all its railway lands abutting upon the streets to be improved, which means a great deal in Section One. Waterfront for City The city Is to be given 100 feet of waterfront by the company and in conjunction with this the Provincial Government adds another 100 feet adjoining it. This is at the point where the waterfront block on which the present company wharf is situated and the government block near the entrance of the harbor meet and Is In the vicinity of Eleventh street. The city receives this without any restrictions. The city is to receive a large number of parcels of land throughout the city, aggregating a total assessed valuation of $172,270. This Is giv n in fee simple and the city may thus dispose of It as It sees fit. Another class of property is to be given under a lease of 999 years. This includes the cemetery and park properties. The reason for this being given under lease at a nominal figure is mainly owing to a legal aspect of the case. The company makes restrictions that, hese lands shall be held for these definite purposes. Under lease this is enforceable. If given outright it would not be so. Included in this is the Fairview cemetery site containing about 60 acres, Acropolis Hill, the land at Laurier Square, Hays Creek Park, a parcel on Second avenue west of the junction at Lynch's, suitable for a school site, the squares at the corner of McBride and Sixth avenue, the circular portion at Seal Cove Circle, the parklike portions of Prince Rupert boulevard and many other breathing spaces which will become very valuable as the city grows. The assessed value of these at present is $368,000. Change of Policy The railway company has found It necessary to take back the section of the reserve property on Second avenue between Third and Sixth streets from the Development company. Its plans for the station yard are not complete enough yet to allow them to say how much of this land will not be required. This, therefore, also goes in as railway land In the meantime. If any part is alienated later and becomes a part of the Development company's property it will be taxable again. In return for the loss which the city suffers here in taxation the company has turned over in fee simple several parcels of land In the central part of the city which may be realized upon if the city so desires. This includes the reserved strips between Third avenue and Fourth street from the yard reserve near Cameron Cove TAXATION AGREEMENT ........i.m. * Tltl'E HILLS FOUND * (Special to The Journal) * VICTORIA, June 9.—The * grand jury on Thursday re - * turned a true bill against Milo * Vuckovitch, charged with shoot- * ing at Constable Phillipson with * intent to murder.

Drydock Scheme On the other side the company agrees to start work at once upon its permanent works here. These are on an elaborate scale, far greater than were originally intended. When completed there will be terminal works in this city that will be the envy of every other city on the coast. Foremost in these is the construction of the dry dock which will start at once. W. J. Donnelly, an eminent engineer of New York, is in charge in a consulting capacity, the plans having been prepared by him. Originally it was the intention of the company to put In a dock that would cost about a million and a quarter. The work has grown on their hands, however, and now the cost is put at not less than $2,000,000. The location of the works is Hays Cove near the mouth of Hays Creek. Accessory Buildings It is proposed to proceed at once with the construction of the necessary wood working, boiler and other shops. These will be of the most MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT made in quadruplicate this 8th day of June, in the year of Our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and eleven, BETWEEN THE MUNICIPALITY OF THE CITY OF PRINCE RUPERT (hereinafter railed the "City," of the first part), THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY (hereinafter called the "Railway Company," of the second part), THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, LIMITED, (hereinafter called the "Townsite Company," of the third part), anil HIS MA.JESTY THE KING, In his right of his Province of British Columbia, herein represented and acting by the Honorable William K.

There will be 2,000 horsepower provided to run them and one building alone will be 90 feet by 140 feet. As these are completed the machinery will be installed and work started upon the floating docks and the pontoons connected with them. The steel for the docks will be brought in only partially prepared. It will be taken care of in the shops here and the actual installation made. About 2,000 tons of steel will be used in this work. The timber for the pontoons will aggregate four million feet. It will be landed here and worked up in the wood shops which are constructed. Thus it will be seen that steady work is to be found for mechanics in the city from the very start. The buildings will call for a good force of men, while the completion of these will be immediately followed by skilled work In the way of equipping the docks proper. Elaborate Plans According to the plans which the company has now prepared, the reserve beyond Cameron Bay extending to Hays Creek will be cleared. Mr. Chamberlin, the general manager of the company, speaking with The Journal representative last evening, said that work would have to begin on that undertaking very shortly. Cameron Bay and the mouth of Hays Creek will be filled in. From the end of the government waterfront section, which is all to be built on at once, the company will continue a line of wharfage extending all the way to Hays Creek. On the land side there will be long lines of parallel trackage for the coaches of the company. About 20 lines of road will parallel the main line at that point. Closer to the hill the necessary shops and works will CONDEMNS RECIPROCITY (Special to The Journal) VICTORIA, June 9.—The hoard of directors of the British Columbia Fruit Growers Association at a meting at Kamloops passed a resolution condemning the proposed reciprocity agreement between Canada and the United States as being detrimental to the fruit industry of Britisii Columbia. e built. U]i Hays Creek, near Ninth avenue continued will be the round house for the repairing of the locomotives of the line with the necessary shops in connection. On the west side of the mouth of Hays Creek the dry docks will he located. Handle Any Vessel These are to be constructed on the most Improved plans. In order to accommodate all classes of business offering here, the dock will be In sections. It will he available as three docks for small vessels or two sections may be brought together to accommodate a moderately sized vessel with the third section available for small craft. Then when occasion arises the three sections are convertible jointly Into a dock 68 0 feet long and 130 feet wide over all. The result is that when all sections are brought together the dock is the most commodious oil the Pacific coast and capable of handling any vessel on this coast. The Minnesota could be taken care of in il. Ship Building Works Under the plans prepared whereby the dock is capable nf alteration to suit different sizes of vessels its usefulness is very materially enhanced. In addition to the ship yards the dock and the large buildings for shops there, is on the eastern side of Hays Creek accommodation provided for a covered shed under which may be constructed wooden ships up to a length of about 250 feet. The addition of this part of the equipment, together with all the nee. essary machinery for carrying on the work of building is ominous. It indicates that the company Is not going to provide for repair work alone. It is making provision for the building of vessels that will ply out of Prince Rupert to the various ports tributary to it. Hays Creek is to become, not the scene of a repair dock alone, but it is to be the home of a constructive enterprise, namely, a ship building yard. The effect which this will have upon the industrial life of the city is great. Prince Rupert is going to require a vast number of vessels varying in size from the fishing schooners of which there must be a large fleet, to vessels engaged in carrying freight and passengers along the coast. These will all be capable of construction here and Prince Rupert will reap the benefits. Hotel Site Sought The company will also proceed with its station at an early date and within two years the work is to begin on the palatial hotel planned for the city. Just at present the hotel building is being held in the background, because the officials of the compan yare not fully decided upon the best site. Mr. Hays asked the council during the conference to suggest the site and he expresses his willingness to receive suggestions from any source as he has a desire to settle upon it and proceed with the work. The point in rear of the residence of General Superintendent Mehan, overlooking the harbor, has been recognized as the best available location, but the president does not. want to make any mistake. Early this morning before the Prince Ruperl left, at s oVloe-k, he was out with his brother, David II. Hays, covering the city in an effort to locate what he felt would he the best site. With the question of the right location settled, work will begin at once upon the hotel building. The site to he chosen must command a good, unobstructed view of the harbor; it must be convenient to the company's wharf and railway station; it must be within easy reach of the business section and it must be free from objectionable smoke, etc. Went up |lie Line Yesterday was spent by President nays, E. J. Chamberlin and the' other officials in a tour over the line of the railway. They proceeded by a special train lo the end of the Steel and there tramped along ihe right of way to I hi' big tunnel, under the guidance of General Superintendent Mehan. Mr. Hays and Mr. Chamberlin wpre well pleased with the progress being made. Mr. Chamberlin says lliere are none more anxious than the railway officials to see the work completed. Tin' tunnel, Mr. Chamberlin thinks, will he completed In time this summer to allow the track to be completed lo the Hazelton brielge. With that work finished during the winter the road will be quickly laid next spring to Aldermere.

Barnard, on Retrn from Ottawa Tells of Conditions in Political Field With the Conservative party never better organized, never more enthusiastic and with such a rallying cry as the necessity of saving the country from reciprocity, Mr. G. H. Barnard, M. P., who has just returned to Victoria from Ottawa, considers that at the forthcoming Do- niining election Mr. Borden will be returned to power with a handsome majority. "The party," he says, has never been In more excellent trim to fight a campaign. It is absolutely united in its opposition to reciprocity; while on this question the ranks of the Liberal party have been split. The most notable among the defections are Messrs. Sifton, Harris and German. When the campaign is in progress these three men will be found on platforms denouncing the reciprocity pact. "The possibilities are that a redistribution bill will be brought down early in September, dissolution taking place as soon as it has been put through. At present supply has been voted up to the first of September, and a general election is hardly probable before some time late in October. During the present recess the Conervatlve party is going to carry on a strenuous campaign throughout the country, edducating the people on what reciprocity really means. Mr. Borden has arranged a tour which will carry him through the northwest territories. His campaign will be a whirlwind one, as I understand that he has arranged to address two meetings every day. He will go as far north as Edmonton, covering the territory- served by the Grand Trunk Pacific lines, and will return eastward over the Canadian Pacific system. In Ontario, an energetic campaign will also be carried on. Already that province is overwhelmingly against reciprocity. We have had excellent reports of the strides which Conservatism is making in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, and I believe that the coming election will record several important gains in the province of Quebec. Increased Representation "Conservatives are eagerly looking forward to redistribution. In British Columbia it is likely that the reprsentation will be fourteen members, or double what we have at present. At all events it is certain to be increased to eleven members. The other provinces in the west will have larely increased representation, so that it will be possible, as it has not been during the last two Dominion elections to ascertain what really is the political opinion of the majority of the voting population of the country. "From the standpoint of the Conservative party, the feature of the session which recently came to a conclusion al. Ottawa was the tact of Mr. Borden in forcing Sir Wilfrid Laurier to represent the Dominion at the coronation, after Sir Wilfrid had said that he would not go. Mr. Borden's attitude in this matter exhibited masterly act. "There is a question of very vital importance, not only to Victoria, but to the pjrovlnce at large. That is the question of having the warships for the new Canadian navy built either at Esquimalt or at some point on the coast. I fear that Ihis matter Is going to be dealt with somewhat on tlie Hiinie lines as the disposition of (lie fleet The government, through Sir Wilfrid Laurier himself, has practically admitted that the Pa- cific coast is far more in need ot protection than the Atlantic coast, being inure liable tee attack. Yet, in spite of this opinion we' find that the majority of the ships are to be sta- tioned 'in the Atlantic, "1 personally do not see any chance of any of the vessels for the: new navy being constructed on the Pae iflc coast. Indeed 1 am afraid that in order to reconcile Canadian- French opinion to the Idea of a navy at all, ilea tall the vessels will probably he built at some point in Quebec. Yes, I know what the opinion in Britisii Columbia will be if such a policy is adopted; but then the Dominion government's policy and a sense of national fairness in the distribution of public moneys are not necessarily synonymous." Mr. Barnard will be in Victoria until about the middle of July. Before leaving the east he said that the weather there was very hot, so much so as to be uncomfortable; coming west in die prairies he expe- rlenced cold weather, while on reaching Victoria he found the conditions ideal. He was accompanied to the city by Mrs. G. H Barnard, whose many friends will be glad to hear that she shows great improvement after her recent sever illness.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL ^Iffllffllffltffllffltffllffltffl! iwt^i^wiftiwwc'a^ I GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC I TOWNSITE w ELLISON The o- ly Main Line Town- site in British Columbia in which the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company has announced its joint ownership. ELLISON SEE THE OFFICIAL MAP.—The first glance will show you that ELLISON is located at the junction of the Skeena River and the Bulk- ley Valley. The Grand Trunk Pacific has announced that they are joint owners in the townsite of Ellison. Now, my dear reader, you must remember that up to date the Grand Trunk Pacific has not announced that it has any interest in any other main line towsite in British Columbia. Does that start you thinking? STUDY THE MAP and you will find Ellison Is where the railway tracks leave navigation. That fact is a very important one for conservative investors to think over. What is known as the Hazelton district covers a territory many miles in extent in every direction radiating from the townsite of Ellison. Mining machinery, ore shipments, smelters, reduction plants and all sorts of mining operations starting up in this rich mineral region, must necessarily have a metropolis, a HUB, a headquarters. If any sane, conservative man can figure out any other spot except Ellison for the hub ef the great commerce of this district, his plan should be very Inter esting to the Grand Trunk Pacific officials. It does seem as though these officials, after several years of Investigation and engineering, would know just what they were doing when they put their official stamp on Ellison. o STUDY THAT MAP.—I desire to say to all parties who are talking townsites in the vicinity oi Skeena River and the Bulkley Valley that there will no doubt be several small towns, just the same as one always finds in a mining district. There will be towns in the vicinity of Ellison along branch railways, probably towns at the ends of branch lines made to serve the mines and the collieries, but it will be history repeating itself in regard to the building up of every metropolis. Ellison has every natural advantage, has every earmark of being the future mercantile and financial center of the Skeena River mining district and the entrance to the Bulk- ley Valley. --. .— o STUDY THAT MAP and you will find that all of the mining towns and railroad towns around there just beginning to be talked about will only be feeders to the city and port of ELLISON. The Gmnd Trunk Pacific has put its official stamp on Ellison. Do you believe the company will do as much for townsites owned by individuals as it will for one in which its stockholders are joint owners? If you do, don't buy any lots in Ellison. If you desire to make a permanent investment, or merely to make a little quick money, you must decide for yourself right now. Do you propose to follow the individual townsite promoters or ihe Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company. ■—■ —o STUDY THAT MAP.—If you desire to put your money Into a real estate promoter's townsite you will have many, many opportunities this summer. The average promoter is full of hurrah and red fire. He must enthuse investors of the mail order class with h''j wares. ELLISON is in the Missouri class. Therefore, I am not telling any fairy tales about it. I am making statements that can be readily verified. ! o STUDY THAT MAP.—If you want to join that great army of investors-at-long-range, then yoi' should put your money Into promoters' townsites. If you want a perfectly safe and sound Investment, certain to bring you large profits, then put your money where the Grand Trunk Pacific, after years of careful investigation, have put their money. STUDY THAT MAP.—It is not likely the Grand Trunk Pacific will have any other townsite in British Columbia for sale this year. The officials of the company state that the company is not interested in any townsite in the Hazelton district with the exception of ELLISON. ELLISON Is on the bank of the Skeena at its confluence with the Bulkley. "Sou may change railway surveys; you may change the location of towns along the line of road, but you cannot change the geography of the country through which the railway passes. The head of navigation necessarily means an important townsite. Ellison will not only be at the head of navigation but the center of a mining district wonderful in its resources that is now being opened up, and for LOTS IN ELLISON TOWNSITE AND ROGERS ADDITION FOR SALE which Ellison will be the shipping point both by rail and water. The fact that trains may change engines up or down the line or in the suburbs of the town of Ellison does not amount to shucks in building up a town when such places are compared with a town located where rails and navigation meet. STUDY THAT MAP.—You will find on the official plan of Ellison that a large part of the town- site has been reserved for future sales, the same as the company has done with certain sections of Prince Rupert townsite. There are, therefore, at this time, comparatively few lots on the market. You must hurry if you want one. o STUDY THAT MAP.—ROGERS' ADDITION to Ellison, only a small parcel of land, lies within eight blocks of the site of the railway station. Lots in this are being offered. I am advising my clients to buy Rogers Addition lots at $150 for Inside lots and ,.^i0 for corners. Terms—10 per cent discount for cash, or 10 per cent down and the balance on easy terms; no interest. PRINCE RUPERT British Columbia JEREMIAH H KUGLER Offices—2nd Avenue Facing Grand Trunk Terminal w tffl ^WWWWWWWW! IWWWWWWWWI^ *> ************************** * * % Naude Adams as a * | Public Influence % ************************* How is a phenomenon like Maude Adams to be explained? Even those who love her hesitate to claim for her a dramatic genius of the first order, like that of Bernhardt or Duse. And if she lacks genius, she does not atone for it with any world- enslaving beauty. She is a little, home-like woman, with gentle, intimate graces, a fanciful, elfin humor, retiring, shy and unworldly, yet at thirty-eight she finds herself the most conspicuous figure upon the English-speaking stage the most notable woman in a nation of a hundred millions of people, writes David Gray in Hampton's Magazine for June. Few living men have a fame so widespread; probably none a personal influence so vital or far-reaching. Each year she plays to half a million people. She cares little for money, yet she earns, probably twice the salary of the president of the United States, and her gross earning power for her manager, capitalized at five per cent, is in the neighborhood of ten millions of dollars. Successful as she Is In New York, her Importance is even greater throughout the smaller, less distracted cities, and no geographical areas appear to limit her popularity. South, west, north and east her playhouses are equally crowded. She seems in fact, to be the embodiment of something national, to speak for her time and countrymen with a peculiar authority. To comprehend the meaning of such a life and its activities we are forced to search history for analogies, and that search shows us that life seems to use such persons as Instruments to further spiritual progress and civilization. In fact the agencies of our evolution have been in large measure the artists and heroes. The hero with his faculty for original thought and action shows the new and higher possibilities of conduct. The artist celebrates them and at length the world lives them. So the world has grown better from the eminently strong and eminently sweet persons that have lived in it and from those who have interpreted them. \\l the outset, Maude Adams must be accepted somewhat as a force of this kind, as an evolution-working personality, luminous with sweetness and light, even more than as an artist; as a public influence even more than as an actress. For her fame is beyond her artistic achievement, large and real as that unquestionably is. .T..he. main current of her force Is ethical rather than aesthetic. Her appeal is fundamental to character. ' he inspires conduct rather than intellectual interest. In a curious manner she combines both the evolution-working hero and artist in one person, reaching her highest moments as an actress when slie Is expressing herself. If we take any other view of her we come upon many stumbling blocks. CRITICISES LAURIER London Times in Open Letter Tnkes the Premier of Canada to Task for His Attitude In an open letter to Sir Wilfrid Laurier the Sunday Times said in part: "Empire is your greatest theme and you preserve it In a fine syrup of beautiful words. In 1896 you deliberately turned your back upon the United States thereby gaining a position In which you have since been so picturesque an ornament. You have become at once an Imperialist and a Nationalist. When you saw Canada become symmetrical and strong, manufacture balancing agriculture, a tariff wall enabling her to offer resistance to the suck and pull of her great neighbor, your reward for so intelligently realizing the policy of others was to be called an Imperial statesman. You rested your support on British-Canadians and at the same time contrived to retain the support of Quebec provin- cialists by resisting Canadian sentiment favorable to helping the Imperial navy. Successfully for several years you have played, the part of Mr. Facing Both Ways. If you are sapping Imperial interests you are also undermining Canadian Nationalism."

In view of all these things he is prepared to wait a little. o PLEASED WITH PROSPECTS James Cronin, the eminent mining man, is not one who confines his attention to that one branch of business, lie prides himself upon being a fanner as well and has located upon northern British Columbia as the best field for operations in that line as well as In the mining enterprises. Mr. Cronin has a farm in the Bulkley Valley and on the last trip up the river took in additional] horses and equipment. He has returned, however, and this moraine j left for his home in Spokane. Mr. Cronin says there is nothing wrong with the Hazelton countrj either from the standpoint of mining or farming. The trouble is all confined to the lack of transportation facilities that now exist. If there were the means for getting the necessary material into the country at the present time there would be I marked activity In both fields of en-' terprise. With the lack of accommodation in the carrying trade it is impossible to get sufficient material In the lines required to meet the demands. In grass seed there Is not the supply.

AGREEMENT An agreement has been reached with the Grand Trunk Pacific with respect to the taxation of Its railway property in the city which will appeal to all as an eminently fair one to both sides concerned. Its ratification by the ratepayers will result in marked benefits to this city at once The agreement, which appears on another page speaks for itself. It will appeal to anyone as a good bar gain. The fact that the company be comes responsible for the local im provement taxes on its railway prop erty solves a knotty question affecting the improvements in Section One of the city. Apart altogether from the revenue aspect the settlement is of vital im portance to the city at this time while it is awaiting the completion of the railway. It removes all cause for any ill will between the city and the company. The settlement is reached in an amicable way and the company interested in the advancement of this city just as the citizens are, will co-operate to bring the best results. There can be no question that such a settlement will have its effect upon the money markets whore the city must soon go in order to secure the funds to carry on the undertakings which it has. in view and those now under way. There can be no suspicion on the part of the financiers that there is any friction between the city on the one hand and the company on the other. The undertakings which the company has in view and which will start at once are of such a character that it is almost impossible to estimate their effects upon the investing public. Ship repairing and ship building operations require very- large forces of men. It is work involving a very heavy expenditure. Vessels valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars cannot be allowed to remain idle in the repairing docks any longer than is absolutely necessary. It is essential, therefore, that hundreds of men must be put to work to get the repairs necessary completed with as little loss of time as possible. Therefore as in other places where similar works have been installed there must be a very heavy payroll. The method which the company will pursue of erecting the necessary buildings for the works and then in turn using these in the construction of the docks will add materially to tlfe outlay in tlie city. It will mean that there will lee a continuous expenditure at the works from now until the actual installation of the dock in order. Another feature of this is not to be overlooked. This is that the work under way ley the company will have a marked effect upon all who visit the' place en- ihose who look into the question of investments here. It will be found that the railway company has under course of installation works that would do credit to a place many times the size of Prince Rupert. This in itself gives a feeding of stability from tlte standpoint of i le.- investor that cannot in- overestimated. There lias been a general approval .•I tin- settlement by the citizens and ;i readiness shown to endorse it nt the opportunity being given tee do so. ENGINEER'S CRITIC SEARS ACQUITTED A criticism has been passed upon the city engineer from a source which is somewhat strange to understand at this particular time. The engineer's department is now under investigation with Aid. Newton as chairman. Judging from the tone of the criticism which the Empire passes upon the engineer it will scarcely seem possible to have a very impartial decision from the chairman of the committee of investigation. We cannot help feeling that a criticism such as was dealt out to the engineer should hardly be expected from the source from which it emanated just at this time. Chuncil and Company Reach a Settlement (Continued fronTPage One) especially in view of the fact that all of it had not been ballasted. There is a considerable local trade originating along it and this will develop quickly, he thinks. There is a lot of tlmHer that will give profitable employment to small sawmills and, judging rrom what he saw of the land, there are large areas of good Harming land available for settlement. Mr. Hays was pleased with the progress the city was making. He noticed a very marked improvement since his last visit and remarked upon the fact that he city was going to be a beautiful one. Council Approves Last evening after the arrangements had been prepared, the city council met and passed upon them in detail. After consideration, on motion of Aid. Hilditch and Aid. Morrissey, they were unanimously passed and ordered to be signed and tbe seal attached. A motion was introduced by Aid. Smith that the city council write the minister of railways withdrawing the protest against the approval of the plans of the company for Mile 0 westerly. This was interpreted as the objections filed against the closing of Cameron Bay and Hays Cove. It was explained that In accordance with the gigantic scheme of works there, the company found it necessary to do this. Some opposition arose as to the form of the letter, for fear it would prejudice the city in case the company might try to close Seal Cove. It was explained that this was not I'ontemplated and the city would have to be a party to any such work. The city solicitor, Mr. Peters, was perfectly satisfied and the matter passed. .Mr. Hays signed the agreements on behalf of the company and they now only await the signatures of the Provincial authorities and the seal of the company, the mayor signing here and attaching the city seal. FOUR—GTP Captain of Iroquois is Declared Not Guilty of Manslaughter at Trial. Jury Only Take Five Minutes to De- ride the Point on tlie Evidence (Special to The Journal) VICTORIA, June 9.—Following addresses from counsel for both sides and a general summing up of the evidence by Mr. Justice Murphy In the assize court yesterday afternoon, the jury took five minutes to declare Captain Albert A. Sears, late master of the steamer Iroquois, which sank off Sidney April 10, with a large loss of life, not guilty of the crime of manslaughter as charged b> the crown. The judge's charge was in favor of the accused. o To Attend Grand Lodge C. V. Bennett will represent the local lodge I. O. O. F. at the grand lodge at Cranbrook on June 14.

NEW CONSTITUTION Hospital Association Adopts Changes Suggested In Bylaws Till NEW POST OFFICE The settlemenl of the Grand Trunk Pacific taxation question at this time is important in the matter of the new federal building for which the funds have been voted by the Dominion Parliament and expenditure upon which we are assured awaits only the settlement of tills question so as to allow the final disposition to be made of the site. The Dominion Government have in view n substantial building that will do credit to the city. yWork will begin on it as soon as the site is filially granted and this is to follow the settlement of the taxation question. This is something that will be of great benefit to the city- being another assurance that the- future of it is safe. A force of men upon the massive buildings which the Dominion will provide could nol fail to impress those seeking a field for Investment. Engineers to Confer Mayor Manson at last evening's council meeting made a request from Air. Hays for permission to use the old dams on Morse Creek for the purpose of supplementing the water supply of the city. Mr. Hays said he had no objections whatever, but advised that it be gone into with Chief Engineer Kelliher, who would be given power to act when he came. G. T. P. Appeals The court of revision is sitting today, hearing appeals against the Grand Trunk Pacific lands. President Hays and Mr. Tate gave assurances to the council last evening that they had instructed Mr. Patmore, their solicitor not to unduly press the cases. All they sought was to see that the assessments were fair.

Under the new bylaws a managing secretary, who may be placed under bonds is possible. He has very wide duties in keeping with the office filled by the association secretary at present. Mc will combine all the duties of the secretary and assistant secretary, thus simplifying the work. The powers of the directors are somewhat exended. ('. V.

Cowan Delivers Strong Speech on the Sucject in Frederickton, N.B.-He Goes Into the Evil Results That Would Follow the Course Approved by the Liberal Government Speaking in Frederickton, N. B. George H. Cowan, M. P., of Van couver, delivered a speech against the government's policy relative to reciprocity, which has been very favorably commented upon In the east. In part, Mr. Cowan said: To gather up with the least waste that comes from the field, the forest, the mine, and the sea, and to work these up into the finished product ready for use, enjoyment and consumption by its own people —that is the economical aim and object of every nation. In that great aim Canada is as well equipped by Nature as her big competitor to the south. Our natural resources are as great as theirs and much further from the point of exhaustion; as great, too, is the skill and energy of our citizens. Indeed, In the race for wealth we would be as far ahead as they are today if we had started as soon. But we did not start as soon; we are a younger country. That is one of our accidental handicaps. United States Policy Early in their history, and before we had the men or the money, they had begun to develop industries that worked up into the finished product within their own country, their own raw material, and gave to their own people employment, not only in the rough and poorly paid work of producing the raw material, but also in the skilled and highly paid work of converting it into the finished product, and they hud begun to give their farmers that greatest of all boons, a home market at their very doors. They did all this by a tariff which by keeping out the goods of other countries, gave their own home market to their home industries to work up and manufacture similar goods out of their own raw materials. So that today without this treaty, and in spite of us, they are gathering our raw material as well as their own, into their country there, during its manufacture to support American labor, American merchants and American industries, and from there to be shipped over American railways, operated by well paid American employees, back to Canada, the country from which it never should have gone. To such an extent are they doing this, that last year they sold back to us of these goods $223,501,809 worth, while they bought from us, and that, chiefly in raw material, little over one- half that amount, or $113,150,778 worth. Indeed, during the last ten years they have sold us sixteen hundred million dollars' worth, while we have sold them only one-half that amount. Our True Policy To cheek this torrent and not to increase it, to make these goods at home and not to buy them from the States—that should be our aim. That is the aim and is every day becoming the effect of our present fiscal policy. That policy gives diversified employment to labor and capital in industries engaged in working up our own raw material within our own boundaries, and thus creates a large home market for the products of our farms. It does this by a duty on articles that it pays us to manufacture at home, and In this way it lias induced 200 American manufacturing companies to come into Canada and invest $226,000,000 of American capital in vast plants on Canadian soil, employing Canadian workmen and supporting Canadian farmers and merchants, while they manufacture the very goods that hitherto we have been buying from the United States. Treaty Reverses Fiscal Policy To ratify the proposed treaty would be to reverse our present fiscal policy and return to the primitive ways of 57 years ago. What, then, is this thing which our two mothers in Israel journeyed to Washington to get, and which President Taft presented to them? What are these new goods which these two members of the faith have chosen for their followers, and about which there Is war in the gates of the Liberals today? It is, they tell us, in the main essentials a renewal of the old reciprocity treaty of 1854. Tariff Inequality Like that old treaty, it puts nat ural products, such as the products of the farm and the forest, on the free list; while it leaves the duty on all products not covered by the treaty about twice as high when entering the United States as when entering Canada. At this time the American tariff averaged 24 per cent, while the Canadian averaged lO'/i per cent; at the present time the American tariff averages 43 per cent, while the Canadian average is 24 per cent. So that while both treaties put natural products on the same footing of freedom from duty between the two countries, they leave all products not covered by the treaty, on this unequal footing that the Canadian article in order to get into the American market has a tariff wall to jump about twice as high as that which the American article has to jump to get into the Canadian Under the old our experience was market. Its Effect Under Old What was the effect of this inequality under the old treaty? What would be its effect under the new? that while all Canadian products, except natural products, were walled out of the American market by a high prohibitive tariff, the American products came flooding into Canada over a low tariff wall like a full unchecked torrent from the mountain side. The cars and boats that brought these manufactured products from the United States to Canada returned laden with the natural product of Canada, not to be consumed in the United States but to be shipped over American railways and American canals to American ports, and thence in American bottoms to the markets of the world. Under the old treaty, therefore, Canada became a greater consumer of American manufactured ^;oods, while the railways of the United States became greater carriers of the natural products of Canada. The; manufacturing industries and the carrying business of Canada were, under the old treaty, handed over for exploitation to the United States. Its Effect Under New So it will be under the new. That perfect balance and equilibrium which we have established, and which ought to be preserved amongst the three great industrial elements of agriculture, commerce and manufacture, will again be injured and destroyed. Under the new treaty, as under the old, commerce and manufacture in order to evade the high American tariff, will be encouraged to migrate from the Canadian to the American side of the line. Shingles and Furniture Examples For example, the new arrangement lets American shingles into Canada free, but imposes a tariff of 30 cents per thousand on Canadian shingles going into the United States. To evade this tariff the shingle mills of British Columbia, for Instance, will he transferred to the south side of the line, there to support American labor and American merchants, and from there to ship their shingles over American railways hack to Canadian points for purchase and consumption. Again, Ihe new arrangement provides for the free interchange between the two countries of logs and rough lumber, that go Into the manufacture of furniture, but leaves the American tariff on furniture at 35 per cent and the Canadian at 30 per cent, just enough difference to induce the Canadian furniture factory to locate on tlie American side of the line in order to get into the big market free of duty, and into the small over the lower Canadian tariff wall. The only chance that arrangement gives the Canadian workmen at Canadian timber wealth, Is the rough and poorly paid work of felling the trees in the forest and on the mountain side and booming them in the water, or hauling them to the freight yards for transportation to the United States. The finishing business of manufacturing these logs Into shingles and furniture, and the business of carrying the shingles and furniture to the market—those things which require the greatest amount of labor at the greatest wage—are all to be done In the United States. Surely this is a game of "heads I but for the Canadian a policy of selling the hide for a dime, and buying back the tail for a dollar." And the shingle business, and the furniture business are only examples chosen from all the industries. They are specimen bricks of the whole structure. The whole tendency of this obnoxious treaty is not only to shift from Canada to the United States the manufacturing business and the carrying trade of Canada, but also to confine the employment of labor in Canada to the muscular, mill-horse grind of merely producing the natural products and the raw material that are on the free list. Governor Foss and H. M. Whitney, both of Boston, are therefore right when they tell their own people, that the treaty will tend to divert the carrying trade of Canada to the United states, to locate the elevators for storing and handling Canadian grain on the south side of the line, and to transfer the home ports of Canadian steamers from Montreal, Halifax and St. John, to Boston, New York and Portland. Equilibrium of Industrial Forces As I have said, we have in Canada the right relation of the three great industrial forces of agriculture, commerce and manufacture, the one to the other. Our fiscal policy contains no tribute from any one class to any other class; on the contrary, It has improved the condition of the farmer and the workingman, and so induces a condition of general prosperity, In which the farmer, the workingman and every citizen gets his full and fair share. There is proof of this. Mr. Coats, of the Labor Gazette, has made an excellent report on wholesale prices in Canada, which the government has published as an official document. From it we learn that during the last 20 years the things the Canadian farmer has produced for sale and has sold has gone up in price 37 per cent, while the things he has had to buy have gone up only 14 per cent in price. The same is true of the workingman. Indeed, it is scarcely too much to say that a fixed amount of almost any kind of farm produce, or a fixed amount of almost any kind of labor, will purchase in Canada today almost one and one-half times as much manufactured goods as it would have purchased 20 or 25 years ago. So that the condition of both the farmer and the working- man in Canada is steadily improving. Labor Two causes have operated to improve labor conditions in Canada. One is labor unions, and the other is protection. Protection has increased the number and variety of industries in Canada; and where there is the greatest number of different kinds of industry there labor is the most abundantly employed and best paid. I am not a believer in low wages and cheap labor, such as we had under the old treaty of 1854, such as we will have under the new. Under that old treaty wages were so low that they crushed the energy, the spirit and the heart out of the workmen, I do not want to see a return to these conditions in Canada. I believe that our first duty is to multiply, and not to diminish the number and variety of our manufacturing and our railway and other activities, so as to give our workmen steady employment at a fail- wage. The commodity the laborer has to sell is his labor, and the greater the variety of industries employing labor the greater the demand for the commodity he has to sell. That demand should be constant, because labor is the most perishable of all commodities. Unlike every other citizen, he who cannot sell his morning's labor before noon can never sell it; it is gone. The wage rate is the best gang" of a nation's prosperity. When wages are high the profits of capital are high and the country is prosperous, it is the reduction of these that makes bad times. An Irish Immigrant was heard to say that he colud buy as much for a shilling in Ireland as he could for a dollar in this country. "Why did you not stay there?" he was asked. "Because I could not get the shilling.'.' And, by tect our labor market, and protect our carrying trade. We cannot. In 1860 the government of the old province of Canada, seeing the necessity of this, increased the duty on cotton and woolen goods, on boots and shoes, and leather goods, and a variety of other articles which Canada could manufacture at home and which they wished to see manufactured at home, and with the revenue they got from this tariff they began to build railways and canals. At once the cry went up from the Americans that this wa a hardship to the manufacturing business and the carrying business of the United States, that although it was not a violation of the terms of the treaty, it was a perversion of its spirit, and in 1866 they abrogated the treaty. Will they do it again? Of course they will. Indeed, this time they have taken the precaution to make it an express term of the treaty that we cannot move our tariff up or down, either on the natural products which are free or on many of the more important manufactured products, on which by the treaty the rate is fixed. Power of Government Paralyzed So, on almost everything that we manufacture or produce in Canada the hand that raises or lowers the Canadian tariff is to be paralyzed and remain paralyzed as long as the treaty endures. No matter how much we may need more revenue, no matter how much we may want to protect our home market or foster and develop new industries, or give labor new and better employment, we cannot do it. To do it would be to bring about the abrogation of the treaty. The Tariff the Only Power Remember, the government of Canada, the government of any country, has first the duty to maintain public order, but it has also the right to oversee the industrial development of the country It may encourage and develop an industry by giving it a bounty on its output or its export. But the great instrument, and practically the only instrument by which the government can develop the industries and home market of Canada, is the tariff. The tariff, the customs duty, with the power to raise and lower It at will as the needs of the country demand, is the instrument, the high tower, the fenced way, with which our industries and our home market are compassed round about as with a shield, when they need protection and defence, and when we are free from treaty tangles. That instrument, Messrs. Fielding and Paterson, out of the great heap of their too ripe wisdom, have decided to hang up to rust upon the wall, and to President Taft they have pledged their word, and they say our honor, that the instrument shall rust upon the wall as long as this treaty is in force. Honor Honor? When we ask the government to consult the people before passing this treaty, Mr. Fielding an-, swers that he and Mr. Paterson have pledged our national honor to the United States to pass it without consulting the people. To keep that pledge of honor with the United States, Sir Wilfrid must break his own pledge of honor to the people of Canada, his pledge not to revise or tamper with the tariff' until that commission had reported. "What is honor? A word. What is that word honor? Air. .A trim reckoning. What hath it? He that died o' Wednesday. Doth he feel it? No. Then I'll none of it; honor is a mere escutcheon—and so ends my catechism." New Treaty Worse Than Old So that, bad as the old treaty was tor the manufacturing business and the labor interests of Canada, this new treaty is infinitely worse.

Although Canada had put the neck of her manufacturer and of her workmen in the Yankee halter, as it is proposed to do again, with the rope in the hands of Uncle Sam, and although Uncle Sam twitched the rope when he thought it would hurt the most, still Canada survives. After abrogation we had many long and lean years of blighted production and paralyzed trade. We had .however, an annual and plentiful crop of blue ruinists and secessionists, and commercial unionists, and continental free traders, and reciprocity agitators, the last rump and remnant of which you will find on Parliament Hill today behind this reciprocity pact. Fathers of Confederation But, besides this weedy crop, the perilous situation in Canada brought, forth men equal to the peril, statesmen of stout heart, men such as Sir John Macdonald, Hon. Geo. Brown, your own Sir Leonard Til- ley, Sir Chas. Tupper, and the other fathers of Confederation and pioneers of Confederated Canada. Into better men, leaders and followers, Almighty never infused the breath of life. Liberals some, Conservatives others, patriots all, men all of them, who loved their country, who believed in her, who honored her and who worked for her. Their Policy What did they do, and aim at doing for Canada? They labored, and we have entered into the fruit of their labors. Their spell of toil is accomplished, and ours is now the task of carrying on their work.. They dug the foundation of Canada. What was that foundation, and is reciprocity a fitting superstructure for us to raise upon it? What was their aim, what their all-embracing policy? What, but Canadian nationality j within the Empire, Canadian resources for Canadian development, Canadian and Brilish capital for Canadian industry, Canadian workmen for Canadian production, Canadian routes for Canadian trade. To that end they first addressed themselves to the task of uniting the four old provinces into one confederation, a task which they accomplished in 1S67. . Ilul their object was not to make a united and therefore stronger effort for a new reciprocity treaty, as Mr Fielding says. In 1869 they purchased the great Northwest, the largest and most profitable real estate deal the world ever saw. Then in 1870 they brought Manitoba Into the union, In 1871 British Columbia, and In 1x711 they rounded off Confederal ion by bringing in Prince Edward Island. To strengthen that union, and to gel back the carrying trade which had been diverted to the United states by the old treaty, they undertook and carried oul the- herculean task of building the Intercolonial and the more Intimate | Canadian Pacific Railways and of Excursions!

Wages were never so low as they were under the old treaty from 1S54 to 1866; they were never so high as they are today. Abrogation, li' Relief Is Sought But, it may be said, that If at any time after this treaty goes into operation we find that its tendency is to wipe out the manufacturing business and carrying business of Canada, and to reduce Canadian labor to a state of pauperism, then we can by means of the tariff protect the property. 'As for those who, like Mr. Fielding, profess to believe that Mr. Taft Is making this treaty a labor of love on behalf of Canada—well, theirs is that credulity which although the strength of the child, is the weakness of the full-grown man, or else it is the innocence of the sheep exposing the fallacies of vegetarianism, as it itself is being led to slaughter.

Under the National Pol- to happen? By its abrogation the icy the trade between the provinces American . ation hoped tei put an end to Canada's separate' existence. to stimulate new Industries, to give employment io capital and labor, to hring production and manufacture, producer and consumer together In our home markets, and by a variety of employment to create a demand for labor, those great leaders inaugurated the National Policy in 1S7S. Effects of Their Policy Under the old treaty Canada had been a house divided against itself, each province had traded with the State or States south of it, and but] |ing, or next to nothing, it has grown and outstripped the whole of the foreign trade of Canada Then, as distinguished from this interprovincial trade, is that other branch of the home market, the trade between city and country. This and the interprovincial trade together afford a market for more than 80 per cent of Canada's total production. And that yearly production of Canada has gone into amazing figures away beyond the billion mark; until today it is greater per head of the population than that of any other nation in the world. These enormous products find a ready, a safe and a sure market, at good prices—no less than 80 per cent of them within our own borders at the door of the prodni-or or within rail reacb of the producer in a home market Independent of hostile legislation from without, anil by far the greater part of the re- maining 211 per cent in that great marl of ihe world, the British market, when- legislation leeisiilc to Canada is unthinkable. .

Interchange of these products has filled 111 >- pulsating arteries of commerce in Canada with the. rich blood of frelghl and passenger traffic, until today our transport system by land and water Is the most extensive and supports tlie largest number of well-paid employees of any country of our papulation in the world. Why Reverse the Knglne? Just now when we are speeding up the shining vails of prosperity and success, as no oilier nation is, why should we he.' even asked to reverse the engine and return down the grade we have climbed down tee that old morass of fifty years ago. to the Canada had to become during the quagmire of reciprocity?

This is not 1854; this is 1911, and things have changed. In those old days there was no union of the provinces as now, and therefore no united effort and strength, as now, to devlop a home market, or find a foreign market; there was no great centre-of trade and no sure top price British market as now. On the contrary, the old provinces shortly before that In 1846 had lost their advantage and preference in the British market by the repeal of the corn laws, and bad lost too the best part of their home market, because that same repeal had driven more than half of their merchants and manufacturers into bankruptcy. There they were as unlike the Canada of today as anything could be—a few scattered communities of farmers, fishermen, lumbermen and mining men, spread out in thin settlements along the American boundary, with their own market glutted with American goods dumped in at slaughter prices with an exhausted exchequer and a crippled credit—are those the conditions of Canada today? Are they not the reverse of the conditions of today? Since those old days distance has been annihilated and not the United States alone, but the whole world is our market; we have multiplied by science and art the production of the land; we have extended our strength by making the water power of our streams do the work of thousands; we have traversed this northern half Of the continent by railroads, and the surrounding sea and our inland waters by steam; we have transmitted our thoughts over a continent by wire and by wireless. How absurd then under these changed conditions is this talk of reciprocity as the historic policy of Canada. The Farmer Even to the farmer the old treaty was not an unmixed blessing. While it added to his market in the United States, it injured his legitimate market—his home market—by injuring the manufacturing and the carrying business of Canada. The prices he got for his products in the United States he got not because of the treaty, but in spite of the treaty, especially during the later years of the treaty. During those years a civil war was raging in the United States, farm production there was a a standstill and they had to have our farm produce at war prices—tariff or no tariff. Merits of Home Market Even if the United States under reciprocity did afford to our farmers a better price for their produce, still it would not be as good a market as our own home market. The home market is always better than any foreign country can give; it is beyond the reach of a hostile legislation; it reduces to a minimum the cost of transportation; the profits arising from it always accrue to citizens of Canada—like Mercy, It is twice blest; it blesseth him that gives and him that takes; in it there can be no balance of trade against Canada, and therefore no gold withdrawn from Canada to meet that balance. Would it not then be to let in at the spigot and out at the bung —to seek an uncertain market in the United States at the expense of a sure market at home? Potatoes On the 28th of February last in the House of Commons, the Hon. Mr. Fisher used these rather remarkable words: "Now, I want to say a word about potatoes. In twelve years of high duties the United States accepted from Canada $11,000,000 worth of potatoes more than they sent into Canada." His statement Is a little over twenty times too big. To be true, It has to be reduced to less than one-twentieth of its present size. If the rest of Mr. Fisher were also reduced to less than one-twentieth of his present size, the Lilliputians whom Gulliver met in his travels would be giants In comparison. The true figures were brought down on the 29th of March and they show that dinin gthose years the United States sent to us $1,419,651 worth of potatoes, and we sent to them $1,958,886, or only $539,235 more than they sent to us. So much for the big words of little men. American Market a Plmntnsmngorln So far then we find that the Canadian price has been higher than the American, and so It will be to the end, "so flows the stream, and shall forever flow." And thus we see that this phantasmagoria of an American market for Canadian farm produce becomes, upon closer scrutiny, a suc cession of dissolving views. And all the while we are chasing this phantom of better prices, we are compelling the farmer to pay duty on everything he buys, and to our Canadian market we are giving free access to the farm produce not only of the United States but of 650,000,000 people besides. To attempt to find a market in a country that has a surplus of everything we produce for export Is to seek a market for coal at Sydney. But the crowning act of folly is to expose our farmers without let or hindrance to the clog and glut of the surplus farm produce of all but four of the great nations of the earth. Favored Nations With twelve nations outside the United States and the British Empire, Canada has treaties which contain what is known as the favored nation clause. Most of these nations are large exporters of farm products and by virtue of that clause Canada has to let that product come into the Canadian market free. The moment she enters into this treaty with the United States, by virtue of the treaty itself the produce of the British Empire will also be let into the Canadian market free, and by virtue of our treaty with France, certain French products wil lalso enjoy freedom in our markets. So that with the exception of Germany, Italy, Belgium and The Netherlands, all the big exporting nations of the world with their population of 650,- 000,000 will be left free to flood our market with their produce, when overproduction In their own country makes it pay them. In the middle of March last 750 carcasses of Australian lambs were landed in St. John, and after paying our duty of three cents per pound the undersold our Canadian lamb by one cent per pound, there and in Montreal and Toronto. Duration Uncertain And then there is the uncertainty as to how long this treaty if ratified is to remain in force. The written documents say that it is intended It shall remain in force for a considerable period, but no one seems to know, and no one has yet ventured to say just how long a period a considerable period is. Under these circumstances no large factory would establish itself on the Canadian side in the hope of catering to the 100,- 000,000 people of both countries, because of the chance that 90 per cent of that market might be cut off at any time by the termination of the treaty. And for the same reason, no farmer or producer of raw material in Canada would venture extensive changes in his mode of production. Opening Wedge of Separation But why multiply objections to this blunder ? Not one single valid arg.iment can be adduced in support of ;his atrocious crime against the vested rights of citizens, the constitutional rights of provinces and the manifest duty and destiny of Canada as a part of the British Empire. By what right and on what principle can two men, without the mandate or knowledge or consent, and against the wish of the people, in secret conclave with a foreign power, barter away, without the authority of law, the protection, and, therefore, the income, property and individual rights of one set of men, such as the men engaged in the fruit industry in British Columbia, in order to gain a trade opening for another set of men engaged in some other industry, and that, too, without giving the injured men a hearing? What right have these two men to drive an opening wedge into the trade between the provinces, and to force each to trade, not with the other provinces, but with the state or states to the south of it, in violation of the commercial object of Confederation, which was interprovincial trade, and to the dislocation and disruption of the lines of trade we have been developing for forty years, and to drive us back to where we were forty years ago? By no right and on no principle of justice are these things done. Pin-ling of Ways a Mesmerism This parting of the ways is just the mesmerism of Mr. Taft over Mr. Fielding and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. In years gone by, sometimes as continental free traders, sometimes as secessionists, again as independence aspiring to "sever the ripe fruit from the parent tree," always as men helpless to develop a home market, these same two gentlemen have always gazed with longing eyes across the boundary on what looked to them fresh spots. Little wonder is it, therefore, that they are listening now to the song of the charmer, to the siren song of the annexationist across the line, to the crafty, Tafty song of reciprocity, to the song of brotherly love—but of a brother's birthright. Do you want heir mess of pottage?

British Connection Do you want to stay the flow of trade and staunch the flow of affection to the Motherland? 1 know the sneer that question gets for answer from reciprocity advocates. Sir Wilfrid calls it waving the British flag, and Mr. Fielding calls it the big Imperial drum. I have heard their jeers, but I am nothing daunted.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL How Reciprocity Will Affect Canada (Continued From Page Six) the British standard on the hills of New Brunswick? Their bodies lie beneath the soil they left you, but the place is still fragrant with their memory, and their loyal spirit is still the inspiring genius of the land. Tell me, then, whether that love of British connection with which we all imbibed with our mother's milk, is dying out in eastern Canada. The people of New Brunswick enjoy this unique distinction over the other older provinces, that their loyalty never was in question. Liberals and Conservatives alike—the rank and file of the electorate of New Brunswick, have always been reputed loyal to Britain and to Britain's flag. That very fact It Is that Induces us sons of eastern Canada when we come amongst you to open our mind and heart to you as to the national effect of this treaty on provinces west of the Great Lakes. We have gone out from amongst you, gone out to the west, gone out and learned something of the conditions in which we have lived, and with which we have been surrounded. And we cannot help observing that we are but the few amongst the many in the west. The many, if measured by the standard of Canadian citizenship as we learned It in our boyhood in the east, are as yet without some of our Ideals and aspirations. They have come from countries to which but recently they owed allegiance, countries which still hold their pride and claim their affections. Busied with their new pursuits, as yet they have not learned nor had the opportunity of learning to feel that love for Canada and that pride in our great fortune to have inherited. We of your own breed and get in those western provinces feel that we are there as a leaven to leaven the lump; we are to do our share towards inspiring in the many a patriotism and a love of country as yet unfelt. It is but natural that things Canadian should be strange to them, that they for example should object to the singing of Canadian songs in their schools, natural and therefore not easy to eradicate. It will be doubly hard, if by this treaty, and by the economic forces it will call Into being our prairie settlers from the south are compelled still to trade with the south, and are denied even a chance of becoming Canadianized. Is that a matter of indifference to eastern Canada? Without jurisdiction in the matter of education it is only through such agencies as trade and commerce that the Dominion can fashion the national traits and characters of the people. Burden of Responsibility Has eastern Canada becmoe indifferent to this? By this treaty you are going to increase the heavy burden of responsibility already on the Canadian born citizen of the west, until he sinks under the weary load. He Is willing to buy his food products, and his manufactured goods In the east, because the policy that compels him to do so is also the guarantee of the peaceful progress and growth of Canadian nationality in the west. This pact reverses that, and the reversal is proposed by the strong party in the pact as a distinct step towards the definite end of political union. Can we hear that proposal and take the commercial benefits of the treaty without accepting that proposal also? I think not. It Is the east that should now feel what the fiscal and political independence of Canada really Is and what Its loss would really mean, and It is upon the east that the responsibility rests today. Already it would seem that in high places In the east there are men obcessed with a strong pro-American and, perhaps, a stronger anti-British feeling. The latter feeling was in evidence last session in the naval debate when it denied Great Britain all voice in our naval autonomy; the former feelin gis in evidence this session in the reciprocity debate, and gives the United States all voice In our fiscal autonomy. These are the gentlemen who fly in a rage and say that it is an insult to their intelligence when the British flag is mentioned. But, thank God, the British flag still appeals with irresistible force to many and, I hope, the majority of Canadians born beneath Its ample folds, still speaks to them of the glories of the storied and historic past, still points to the duties of the present, and the hopes of the future—Inspiring them as they gaze upon its proud blazonry with the ambition that Canada will march down through the centuries as the foremost nation in that great family of British nations which together stand, as a mighty power, for the spread of Christianity, the advance of civilization, and the peace of the world.

TAXATION AGREEMENT Pacific toast Representative of the Company Visited City and Feels Time Is Ripe Mr. Alexander Baillie, the Pacific coast representative of Balfour, Guthrie & Co., 'lee- world-wide shipping firm, paid Prince Rupert a visit this week. He came as the guest of Charles M. Hays, the president of the Grand Trunk Pacific, for the purpose of looking into the situation from the standpoint of opening a branch in this city. Mr. Baillie was astonished at conditions as he found them here. He had been prejudicially affected by inspired reports in the south, in which an attempt was made to belittle the city in every way. The opinion Mr. Baillie formed on his first visit completely dispels all these preconceived notions. He was astonished at the facilities which were possessed here in a shipping line and at the progress made. The territory over which Mr. Bail- lie exercises control for his company, he being a shareholder in it, covers San Francisco, Portland, Tacoma, Seattle and Vancouver. They are heavily interested in the handling of grain and lumber, chartering vessels and making shipments to all parts of the globe. There is not a port in the world where the name of the firm is not known. Speaking to a representative of The Journal, Mr. Baillie expressed the opinion that the time was very near when his company would require to be represented here. He looks to Prince Rupert to become a great wheat shipping point when the road is completed and of necessity his firm will be here. A visit to the government dock where the reinforced concrete piles were being put in place, was a point nf intense interest to this shipping man. He had never seen such work before and this perhaps more than anything else he saw in the place convinced him of the fact that this was destined to be a great port. "The time Is very near," he said "when We must get in here." The company acts as agents for the Harrinian line of steamers from European ports to San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver. This line has just recently been put on the route to Vancou er and a monthly freight service Is provided by It. Mr. Baillie feels that the time Is not very far distant when Prince Rupert must be added to the ports of call. Even at the present time he Is prepared, as freight offers in sufficient quantity, to have this made a port of call. He came to Prince Rupert feeling that there was a great future for it. He left it feeling that its business life was really starting and that It would require industrial concerns to be alive to keep up with the demands which are now being felt here.
