WINKLER, Proprietor London, Nov. 10.���������At n meeting to be held at Hie Carlton club on Monday, AValter Hume Long will propose and Austen Chamberlain will second the nomination of Andrew Bonar Law as the leader of the Unionist party in the. house of commons to succeed Arthur J. Balfour. Law's election is assured and the leadership of the party will be placed in the hands of a man with brief parliamentary experience, who has never held a .seat in any cabinet. Tn his short political career, howeyer, Mr. Law'has proven himself a'br-illiant speaker and a resourceful debater. The Liberals frankly acknowledge his fitness to be the parly leader and among all the names snggested for the position regard him-as the most dangerous from their party viewpoint. Mi- Law, who is sitting for the Bootle division of Lancashire Southwest, was born in New Brunswick in 1858. His father was Rev. James Law. He was educated in Scotland. He is an ardent golfer and chess player. NEW LEADER STKOXCJ I'KOTKCTIO.VIST A strong protectionist, the Unionists regard Mr. Law as their* most persua- siye speaker on . tariff reform and therefore the party will more than ever be. committed, to tar-riff reform .and many expect that his leadership will infuse strong* fighting spirit in their ranks. His selection, however, being a compromise one^due to tlie rival claims of more prominent leaders in the party is certain to engender much dissatisfaction and it is impossible to say at present just how events' will shape themselves.

Hints have-been dropped that one of the most important things to.-, be dealt with in the coming session of the B. C. Legislature will be the inauguration of a. new timber policy which it is expected will be largely along conservation lines. In Ontario they arc going in for afforestation in several parts of the province and while it is hardly expected that the B.C. legislation will-be quite as advanced as to provide for anything., of that kind it is likely to deal with matters regulating the cut and seeking to 'minimize the evils of deforestation by requiring more care on the part of lumbermen. New Westminster, November 0th��������� The (rood Roads Convention held in this city on November 3 and 4 was the most important step ever taken in connection with the Good Roads movement in Canada, Before the convention adjourned-the Canadian Highway Association had been formed, its object being to secure the building of a first-class road from Halifax, N.S. to Alberni, B. C, und-also to assist in the extension of the Pacific Highway, .which now runs fiom Tia Juana, Mexico, to Vancouver. B. C, the plan being to'.eventually make Dawson^ the Northern lerminus of this road. Over a hundred delegates, from all parts of Canada, and .the American Pacific coast were in attendance, including some of the most prominent advocates of good roads on this continent. Hon. Thomas Taylor, minister of public woiksf'or British Couhubia, in the course of a speech replete with facts and figures bearing on road improvement and extension, made the important announcement that Federal assistance towords the - construction , of main roads in .British Columbia was assured.-' On behalf of the piovincial government ,he promised- a vigorous pursuance of the Better Roads policy with which his name has been associated. - ' \" The following were elected officers of the Canadian Highway Association: Hon.

Martin Burrell, minister of agriculture just prior to his departure for the East. The 'minister added, that while the government could hardly undertake the taking of another census owing to the stupendous nature of the task, he hoped that the most seiinu's.of tho errors made in his department during tho taking of the census would be rectified. Women Jurors Get Their Backs Up on Lunch Question BLACKGUARDING THE LASSIES Because the socialists are not allowed to make the nuisance of themselves they wanted by street-haranguing in St. John, N. B., and Premier Hazen refused to prohibit the Salvation Army from holding their public parades, contending that the Army was peifoiming a good work for ' society, Cotton's Weekly is out with a tirade of most villianous stuff against the Salvationists and flaxen. Among some of the more printable paragraphs are the following mild samples: \"The Army builds banaeks and maintains hash houses and uses its drum and cymbals and psalms to advertise its sea veiling activity. It gathers in ii prostitute here and a tramp there-and gives them a meal and a bed and turns them into scabs to work against union labor. \"This nauseating Army, that battens like buzzards on the human wrecks the capitalists produce, is allowed to roam the streets of St. John, N. B. Allowed to raise a tremendous racket. Is praised by Clark and Hazen. ���������'The capitalists raise the rents of the houses of the worker. The Salvation Army cry, \"Hallelujah, fix your eyes on heaven.\" Hazen exclaims, \"The Salvation Army is doing good work for society.\" Hazen lies and he knows he lies. The Salvation Array is doing good work for the capitalist plunderers and no one else. \"The socialists come along and say that the homes of the people should be for the people to live in and not for landlords to get rent out of. And Clarke and Hazen sifc their police on the Socialists and tell them they can - not talk.\" _ Los Angeles, Cal., November 10.��������� Unable to agree on anything, the first woman jury to sit in Los Angeles was discharged late to-day. The case was that of T. H. Nager, accused of having violated the speed ordinance. He was arranged in Justice Forbes\" court. It was a stormy day for the woman jury. After listening patiently for three hours to testimony,and argument, the jury at 12:30 o'clock was told to get ready for luncheon. Twelye different eating places, were set by the 12 jurors Then two said they did not want to eat at all. In vain the Justice urged them to reach an agreement as to a place for luncheon. Finally, at 12:30 o'clock he oidered them locked up again. The Justice, ' too, lost his luncheon. At 5 o'clock, after four and a half hours'deliberation, the jurors reported that they were unable to agree on a verdict and the court ordered them discharged. HANDY FOR THE HUNTER A useful item is going the rounds of the press at the present time which gives advice to hunters how they may make a watch take the place of a compass. The rule is ���������'Point the hour hand at the sun and half way between that and 12 o'clock is south.\" It is a handy thing to know but as the sun does not always .shine it is advisable to carry a compass as well. There is another wrinkle that is perhaps of more importance to the man in the mountains who never knows when night may overtake him in places where the going is bad and it is necessary for hiin to spend the night out of doors. Then is when he needs a good fire and matches are liideinand. Sometimes the cold and the wet make it a difficult matter to get a fire going and then is when the stub end of a candle is worth its weight in gold. Always sue that you have a, few of these stowed away in your hunting bag. One of them might save your-life. B, C.'s LUMBER CUT IN 1910 GENERAL NEWS ! P. W.

Some Canadians are to be-sent to the British war office to learn aviation and its adaptation to military needs. This leads to the question as to whether they have a. more competent bird- man over there thai!, .1. A. D. McCurdy. The new government are setting about to enforce Canada's dumping law of 1007. A law is no good if it is not enforced. Washington and Oregon mills are dumping lumber on the prairie markets at less prices than they are selling it at home. Republicans carried tho state of New York in last week's elections but New York city remained Democratic. Hon. .John ('ailing, senator, died at his home in London last week. There is still some trouble in the Orowsnest and only a, small number of miners have yet gone to work. The coal strike has already caused considerable trouble on the prairies from shortness of fuel. The Inland revenue figures for October show an increase of 30 per cent. A man was killed on the Kettle Valley right of way between Beaverdell and Carmi about the beginning of the month. He was struck by a falling tree. The rapid exploitation of lumber in British Columbia, is increasing yearly- arid almost made this province the equal of Ontario in point of lumber production in 1910. Statistics of the Dominion lumber cut for 1910, collected by the Forestry Branch of the Department of the Interior, state that one billion, six hundred and twenty million feet of lumber- worth nearly twenty five million dollars was cut in British Columbia in 1910. As a result of greatly increased cutting in the Aland cedar forests, the total amount cut was more than doubled in one year. In 1909 the British Columbia, cut constituted one-fifth of the total; in 1910 the proportion formed by the western province was one third, and it lacked only forty-five million feet of surpassing the cut in Ontario. Seven important softwoods make up over 90 per cent of the cut in British Columbia douglas fir, cedar, western yellow pine, tamarack, spruce, hemlock and jack-pine. Nearly forty-five per cent, of the total was made up by Douglas fir. This species was cut in 1910 to the extent of nearly seven hundred and twenty million feet and had the largest actual increase shown by any species���������an increase of nearly two- hundred and fifty million feet. Cedar composed one-fifth of the total and was the second wood in magnitude of cut. The three . hundred and fifteen million feet of this species cut was an increase of two hundred and seventeen million feet over the 100!) production. The cut of yellow pine, amounting to- one hundred and eighty-three million feet, was nearly six times as much as the amount cut in 1000, and was sufficient to raise it from fourteenth to sixth place in importance among'lhe lumber producing trees of Canada. Premier Rohlin spoke for closer relations between British Columbia and the prairies in an address before the Canadian Club in Nelson. That is good sensible talk on the part of Manitoba's premier that will he readily assented to by British Columbians.

It wa.s a large gathering of ardent British imperialists and the speeches made on the occasion showed very plainly that the speakers thoroughly appreciated what, Canada's work that day in the cause of empiie really meant; but better still, it also showed that these British imperialists were determined to benefit by the splendid example which Canada set them and would do their share to follow in the direction which Canada had pointed out. After- all, Canada, on Sept. 21 only told England again what Agnes Deans Cameron 1* told them two months before. Addressing -a public, meeting-in' London she said she had been asked whether Canada was loyal to England and her answer was: \"No, Canada is not loyal to England; she is loyal to the British Empire. Let England see- to it that she too, is loyal to the empire.\" Now is the time for Great Britain to take the hint. The Gazette attaches due importance to the movement now on foot for good roads in British Columbia, and the organization launched the other day has our best wishes for success. Nevertheless, there is no organization, however good it may be, that will not make mistakes occasionally. It is now some 10 or 12 years ago that a somewhat similar organization was called into existence to advance the interests of mining, but it is now resting peacefully under the daisies after a short and more or less useless existence, the. end being superinduced by an excess of mistaken zeal expended at a too tender age. When that organization (the Provincial Mining Association we think it was called) undertook to ask the Provincial Legislature to play Jsecond fiddle to it to the extent of refraining from touching any kind of legislation effecting the mining industry without its consent or advice, it wa.s guilty of presumption and had no furthei claim upon the support of those who are loyal to law and order and have due respect to constituted authority. It is true the mining industry of the province bad suffered much; from petty tinkering of the Mineral Act by incompetent legislatures; but even that was no excuse for the presumption shown in the proposition. Now this good roads organization manifested a slight symptom of tin-same swell-head malady when it undertook to dictate to or advise the Legislature as to what class of roads they were to expend public money on and from what class of roads public money wa.s to be withheld. Men who own and drive autos are. apt to get auto on the brain and imagine that there is no need for roads anywhere except to run autos on them. But there is a class of roads needed in this province for settlers living in isolated valleys that are more deserving of assistance than any other and to insist that they be built and maintained on the auto highway standard is a. piece of arrant nonsense. The province cannot afford it and it is not needed. If this new organization wants the support and co-operation ot the general public they must treat the public and its regularly constituted authority, the legislature, with more respect and consideration. A few more breaks like that shown in this cheeky meddling resolution -will qualify the Canadian Highway Association for the same boneyard in which repose the remains of the Provincial Mining Association. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE GAZETTE The election of Bonar Law to the leadership of the Unionist party iii Great Britain was altogether unexpected in this country and is very flattering to Canada. With our'; imperfect' knowledge of conditions in Britain the choice would appear to be. attended with some risk to the cause of imperial preference which is at present the all .important question. Balfour's resignation may be ascribed largely to his lack of appreciation of the importance of that issue and lack of enthusiasm in pushing it forward. Bonar Law on the other hand is an ardent tariff reform man ; but whether the fact of his being a Canadian would not tell against him does not appear clear. The one difficulty in the way of getting the British elector to take a broad imperial view of the situation is to convince him that his pocket would not be unduly sacriffeed at the shrine of Empire by taxing his food stuffs to give Canadian wheat growers an advantage in the British market over those of the United States and other countries, and under these ������������������ii-c-u instances it might not help matters to have, the appeal made to him by a Canadian who could scarcely be called disinterested, although Canada is already amply returning the favor by giving a preference to British manufactures in the Canadian market.
