The "Call" apologizes to South Vancouver for having raised such a muss, but drastic action is needed under certain conditions. ��������� At the risk of being tedious we must return * to the charge. The halting of the grant to the North Arm Harbor Board is matched in folly only by the excuse given for delaying same.1 To call upon the Harbor Commissioners for definite plans before a line has been run or a sounding taken; before a competent engineer, with all the data possible before him, has reported to the Commissioners, is putting the cart before the horse with a vengeance. With apologies to our friends the Commisioners who cares for their plans. A competent engineer's plans are what is wanted. And this is what the Dominion Government asks for; that the Municipalities concerned should evidence their faith in, the possibilities of the North Arm -Harbor scheme by supplying the necessary funds to make the necessary engineering researches to furnish plans upon submission of which a large grant is promised. : Point Grey and Richmond have both made their appropriation, but led by the superior business" ability and wisdom of Mr. Go|d, $outh Vancouver delays consideration of the grant until plans have been submitted. The delay may prove fatal. New Westminster is-moving heaven and earth for the South Arm, and it is just possible that dazzled by the glitter of the meteoric cam- 1 pBigner,' South Vancouver will ��������� loose an ^opportunity now at hand that may not quickly return. The paving of Main street is now assured, and the men are gathering daily in the hopes of long awaited work. But two precious months have been wasted, and for every day's delay the workers and business men of Main .street are piling up the blame on the Gold-Thomas-Twiddy combine. Some day the storm cloud will burst over their heads. MOTOR HIGHWAY TO BE BOOKED. The Board of Works of South Vancouver has decided to rock Fraser street from the River road to the bridge over the Fraser river. The purpose is to have it ready for motor traffic from Wod- ward's landing to Vancouver. Main Street Paving The Dominion Creosoting company wrote, stating that as far as possible South Vancouver ratepayers would be employed on Main street paving. 3RIDQE RIVER i, HEAVY VALUES REPORTED AT BROKEN HJLL MINE North Bay, Ont, April 8 The Western Call, Vancouver, B.C. The Grain Commission heard delegations from Burrard Inlet and Fraser River on question of location of Government elevator. Mayor Baxter made strong Cijse for Burrard Inlet and is confident of success. The Budget speech of Finance Minister has aroused great enthusiasm among Government supporters and has greatly strengthened Government in Western and Eastern Canada. The Liberal Free Trade cry is meeting with bitter opposition in their own ranks. H. H. Stevens The Broken Hill mine, situated in the mountains on north side of Bridge river, reports rapid progress on this winter's development. . John Hunt, superintendent, states that' the average assays run in the neighborhood of $64, principally gold., Bridge river has shown much higher values than this, but it has always been, hitherto, found in small veins of free milling quartz. The Broken Hill is practically a quarry of almost 90 feet in width. According to the reports of engineers visiting this property last fall $5 ore of this nature would pay. The outlook therefore is very bright for Bridge River District, as the company has announced the intention of immediately installing a large reduction plant THE BOSS BOOSTER Dr. Vrooman, speaking to the Royal ^Colonial Institute, London, said that adequate dock facilities' at Vancouver and the'Panama Canal would, mean a gain of $20,000,000 on one crop to the Alberta farmers. Dr. Vrooman estimates a saving to the (Alberta farmers of 7 cents a bushel in summer and 15 cents in winter. ' EXPRESSION OF SYMPATHY With Ulster Prom Noted British Liberal M. P. Death of Well Known Pastor Founder of Kitsilano Presbyterian Church and Well Known Throughout B 0. Passes Away Suddenly. Rev. Dr. Peter Wright, one of the best known Presbyterian clergymen in British Columbia, died suddenly in his home at Kitsilano Monday. He had been ill for thr.ee weeks, but seemed to be on 'the way to recovery. In the forenoon he Was:moy- ing cheerfully about his residence as usual when about noon he took ill and passed away in a few minutes. Heart failure is believed to have beeii the cause of his death. , Dr. Wright was a native of Westruther, Berwickshire, where _ h e ^wasWbomVt wb^years ^after- Queen Victoria came to the throne. He arrived in Canada at the age of twenty and studied in Knox college, Toronto, where, in 1886, he became a bachelor of divinity. He was principal of Norwood, Ont., High school for three years and of St. Mary's High school for one year- In 1870 he was ordained and thereafter held charges in Ingersoll, Quebec, Montreal, Stratford, Portage la Prairie, Nelson and Vancouver. He married in 1864 Miss Agnes McGregor, of Baltimore, Ont. In Vancoucver lie had the distinction of being the founder of the Kitsilano Presbyterian church at Third avenue and Vine street. He was interested in all matters connected with temperance and advocated it from the platform frequently while in Toronto. In all his charges he met with great acceptance. When he was leaving Stratford, Ont., the press said of him: '' His pre-eminence in the pulpitis ^undisputed; his sermons are marked"b1y^ a spirituality of more than ordinary impressiveness.'' Besides his wife he leaves three sons and one daughter, Messrs. John arid Albert Wright, living at home, Mr. Peter Wright of 2043 Third avenue west, and Mrs. Mary Burch of Toronto. The Fight Against Roman Aggression in U.S. HOWS THIS FOR THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE? REVIVAL OF THE A. P. A. A Roman Catholic reader made complaint to the Siegel-Cooper Company, of New York city, owners of one of the largest department stores in that city and publishers of the Book World, concerning some statements which? had appeared in that publication. 'In their reply to this complaint the Siegel-Cooper Company expressed their regret that such utterances had been printed in their magazine, and stated that in consequence thereof the resignation of the editor, Rev. Madi: son C. Peters, one of the well known clergymen of New York city, had been accepted by them. This case is fully reported in the Truth (Roman Catholic), one of the subheads being "Rev. Madison O. Peters at His Old Game." There is evidently an organized plan to prevent the publication, as far as possible, of any matter which, is displeasing to Roman Catholics, or, in other words, any discussion of Roman Catholicism from the Protestant standpoint. IN THE UNITED STATED Copy of Circular Issued A call to arms is being sounded for every American patriot to save the country from the blighting hand of the Roman Catholic church. Can you-, discern the signs of the times? It is putting its puppets into office all over the country. John Purroy Mitchell, Romanist and member of the Corrigan Council, 'Knigh^lof Columbus, has been elected mayor of New Y'ui4c. ��������� William Sulzer was deposed as governor because he was a Protestant, so as to allow Glynn, a Roman Catholic and a Knight of Columbus, to become New Yoi'k's first Roman Catholic governor. Malone,. another Knight of Columbus, has been appointed collector of the port of New York, at the behest of the " system." . .. ��������� All patriotic citizens who believe that the Roman Catholic political maehine is the deadliest menace-to American liberties and civilization, are invited to join this association. Cut in Rates That Caused Seven Point Drop in C. P. R. The Western freight rates decision's chief feature is that the Manitoba, standard tariff, which is the lowest in the West, will apply throughout British Columbia lake district. Pacific coast" rates are somewhat higher, but are substantially reduced from the present rates. Special distributing tariffs, placing Western eities on the same bjtsis'as Wininpeg, are ordered, the reduction from the standard tariff being 15 per cent, of the prairie standard scale. The through rates from Eastern to Western Canada are based on these charged from Fort William and Port Arthur. Local grain and flour rates are substantially reduced. Coal rates from Alberta mines are cut, also the rate from Souris mines. The local passenger rates in British Columbia are not touched. No reduction is ordered on livestock rates, on cement rates, or on sugar rates from Vancouver. The judgment involving the new tariffs will come into effect on September 1 next. SIR ROBERT PERKS ON HOME RULE That Premier Asquith and the Liberal government will be defeated in the general election which he expects will take place, this summer is the opinion of Sir Robert Perks, well known politician and world famous engineer, aa expressed in an interview with the Daily Mail last night. "I believe the significance of the election will be that the people of Great Britain are not in favor of forcing Ulster to accept Home Role against her will. But I believe, general affairs will play a large part in determining the outcome of the election. People are dissatisfied with the government. There has been general unrest for some time under the administration; labor troubles have been prominent; the Insurance Act has been a signal failure; suffragette disturbances have been bothersome,; there is the Home Rule, question with its present difficulties, and there is the advance by leaps and bounds in taxation." "My opinion is Home Rule will be passed under the Parliamentary Act and in spite of the, opposition of the House of Lords and that then' the government will go to the people. All this talk about the army versus the nation is fudge and nonsense. * The election, to my mind, wUl merely show the people of Great Britain are not in favor of forcing Ulster to accept - Home Role against her will. I do not see, therefore, what benefit is to be gained by an election, since it will ^nqt solve the Ulster question. , Would Leave Ulster Out " I am in favor of putting Home Rule into effect, but allowing Ulster to remain out. I think the fears of her people concerning tbe probable , unfair treatment frcihn her Catholic ^neighbors are justified. The proper solution, I believe, is to let her watch the operations of the Irish parliament for some time and then, if she sees from the way it is operating that she has nothing to fear in the way of religious or any other kind of unfairness, she can vote to join the Irish parliament. In making these statements, Sir Robert emphasized the fact that for the last twenty years, he has been a staunch Liberal and has sat in parliament. He is a free trader, he said, favors the disestablishment of the English church as a State church, but in the coming election will vote against the Liberals. Government Should Be Warned "I think it is very serious for soldiers like Sir John French to tell the government they will not carry out their policy, but 1 believe it is wise that ��������� the government should be warned. The army cannot be relied- on to shoot down the citizens of Ulster. Yes, I think this trouble will be righted with little difficulty, but the incident will have shown just where the officers stand on the Home Rule question." SIR CHARLES DOUGLAS NOW CHIEF OF STAFF London, April 2.���������Mr. Asquith has appointed General Sir Charles Douglas, inspector-general of tbe home forces since 1912, to succeed Field Marshal Sir John French as chief of staff. Sir Charles Douglas has had-a most distinguished career in the British army. He joined the 92nd Highlanders in 1869. In the Afghan war he'-served as adjutant of his regiment, and took part in the famous inarch from Cabul to Kandahar,. In the Boer war of 1880-81, he served with the Gordon Highlanders and was present at the disastrous fight of Majuba Hill. He took part in the Suakim expedition and later served at A1-" <4ershot for some years, going to South Africa in 1899 as a member of the headquarters staff. For his services there he was made a major-general. Hot Welcome tor Bank Robbers at New Hazelton New Hazelton is to be congratulated. Five out of a covey of six bank robbers is good shooting. And there is no better way of stopping the dastardly hold up business. The Rocher-de- Boule mountain, up which the sixth bandit escaped, is a hard climb, and doubtless he will soon be caught, and the whole gang accounted for. Something New in Russia - !. ���������; It certainly is something new in the world when the great hall of, the Duma in St. Petersburg is thrown open to an evangelistic service, every Lord's day, as is now the case. , '-</jI ���������Pi K&i jmimmmsammm MKfxi!fiZ\/iJf^fXf xt\ aa* zHixcitfiSi 6%tt$xn>&ksteXt.iii ������- ^<!^i/!teM&^to&l^\,n#ts������^ ���������J^^kfU<WjW*������)kJUi5J������)4>i,jw'ij.

NOTARY PUBLIC Dow, Fraser J Co. LIMITED 317-321 Cambie Street 2313 Main Street Between 7th and 8th Aves. McKay Station, Burnaby Mr. Chairman, Brethren, and Fellow Citizens: ! hail the presence of so many ministers4 of different Protestant churches and so many leading members of different Protestant churches in this vast audience as an evidence that the pressure of the conflict with Borne is drawing us closer together (Applause.) We are finding out, I venture to say, that the things in which we agree are more important by far than the things in which we differ. (Applause.) A Word of Explanation Now, sir, no apology is necessary at any time for setting forth the reasons why we occupy "the position we do; but, as you have already intimated, Mr. Chairman, the time is opportune for this exposition of the Protestant, faith, because of the Mission to "non-Catholics," as they offensively call us, recently held in St. Patrick's church, for the express purpose of proselyting our Protestant people. Why, my friends and brethren, so eager were the Paulist Fathers to let us know all about it that some of them, or one of them, or some representative of theirs, came into the vestibule of my church and tacked the notice of the lectures on my bulletin! Well; I took notice! (Applause.) In the Mission, the doctrines of Protestantism have been assailed, as usual, and every argument known to those skillful controversialists has been employed to seduce Protestants from their allegiance. In these notices and in the public press, Protestants have, as I have said, been dominated "non-Catholics." Now we resent that nomenclature. We Protestants are "catholics" in the true sense of the word. In our creed we say, "I believe in the I|oly Catholic church," and we do. On the other hand, we refuse to yield to the church of Rome the'name "Catholic." It is the greatest arrogance for that church to appropriate that great and venerable term. I know ofAno church upon earth that has so little claim to-he- called Catholic as the church of Rome. Under the circumstances now described, it has been felt by the ministers at whose invitation I am here, that the time is opportune for a definition and a defense of the Protestant faith. Now, I am not here to attack the Roman churchy but to defend Protestantism from the attacks which have been leveled against it. But in repelling these attacks, it will become necessary to expose some of the contradictions and absurdities and inconsistencies that are involved in the doctrines of that church. I, however, am not responsible for that; but those who by assailing our faith, and doing everything in their power to draw our" people from their allegiance, have made it necessary for us to expose what we believe to be th������> unreasonableness of the faith of the Roman church. '-V-.. Protestantism Not a Series of Negations.' Now, first of all, and before entering particularly upon exhibition of the grounds upon which we protest against the doctrine and practice of the Church of Rome, I desire to make two brief preliminary remarks. The first is that Protest- ism is not, as commonly represented,a mere series of negations,���������denying error rather than affirming truth ,- repudiating false doctrine rather than proclaiming the true. No; we write the word Protestant on our escutcheon in its full etymological ^significance. A Protestant is one that hears witness for any person or thing; and a Protestant church is one that bears witness for Christ and his gospel in the world. It is a name pot to be ashamed of, in either its origin or its history. When our Jjord Jesus Christ stood before Pilate, he-said-to. himselfjrMTo-this-end-was-I born, and- for this cause came I into the world5, that I should bear witness unto the truth." Humbly treading in the footsteps of her divine Tjord, the Protestant church goes forth into the world having, this as her aim, that she may "bear witness unto the truth." '���������-���������-������������������ Lot was a Protestant when he stood alone for God in the midst of wicked Sodom. The Jewish nation was Protestant, standing among the nations of the earth, a witness for the unity of God, the supremacy of conscience, and the sancity of the moral law. And, supreme instance! let it never be forgotten that Christ and his apostles were Protestants in their day. They were Protestants for the truth of God, against ���������the traditions and corruptions of the Jewish hierarchy, the established church of that day. And they not only bore witness for the revelation made in the incarnation of the Son of God, but they bore witness against the false doctrines of the scribes and Pharisees, the chief priests and elders of the church. In like manner and in fulfillment of the injunction of the great Head of the church, our Protestant churches bear witness among men today, not only positively, for "the faith which was once delivered unto the saints,'' but negativelyy-against the manifold corruptions of that faith for which the Church of Rome is responsible. And, therefore, they bear on their escutcheon the glorious word Protestant,���������the witness bearers. - Protestants Are Not Heretics Nor Separatists The other introductory remark I have to make is that though we are Protestants, we are not heretics nor separatists. (Applause.) In 1868 the late Pope Pius IX. addressed letters "to Protestants and other non-Catholics," inviting them to return to the bosom of the Holy Mother Church, as the only means of insuring their salvation. Now, we deny that we have ever separated from the Catholic Church. One of the articles of our faith is,' "I believe in the Holy Catholic Church," and in this we claim and enjoy full membership, hy the same Spirit which joins in one communion and fellowship "the blessed company of all faithful people." In fact, the Pope and his adherents are the innovators and heretics who have departed from "the faith once delivered," who have corrupted the Christian creed; and not the Protestants, who have rejected Romete novelties and returned to the creed and the practice of the primitive ages of Christianity. Yes, it is the Church of Rome, and not the Protestant churches, which, by her errors and usurpations has separated herself from the Catholic Church of Christ. When she departed from the primitive faith, she became heretical; and when she made the acl knowledgment of her erroneous and strange doctrines a condition of membership within her communion, she then forced upon men the alternative of separating from her or of abandoning the faith which they were bound to "contend for." Luther and Melanchthon, Calvin and Beza, Cran- mer and Ridley and Latimer,���������all that noble band of reformers in the sixteenth century, chose the former alternative. They decided to obey God rather thaii' men. Were they therefore heretics? Was it heresy to obey Christ and Christ's unchangeable truth rather than abandon these for the sake of union with a Church which had apostatized from the faith and required all her members to acquiesce in her apostasy?���������iNay, was ��������� not she the heretic who, abandoning the Holy Scriptures as her guide, taught for doctrines the commandments of men ? Let it be remembered, also, that as far as the Church of England was concerned, the reformation was a rebellion ��������� against a foreign yoke, and the restoration of the original ecclesiastical authority. The British church, had existed for centuries in entire independence, of Rome, It had produced martyrs to the faith in the reign of Diocletian. It had sent bishops to the Councils of Aries (A.D. 314), Sar- : dica (AD. 347), and Ariminum (AD. 359). It had held numerous t synods of its own. As to its orthodoxy, St. Jerome and St. Chrysostom had both borne testimony to!it. But it was not until the seventh century that the Church of Rome gained a footing on the island. Her pretensions to exercise authority over the British church were resisted. The bishops of the native church re- / fusedL to yield their customs or to receive Augustine as \their archbishop. They resisted for more than a century the attempt of Rome to bring them into/ subjection. In short, /the Church of England of that day became Romanised only after an ineffectual protest and a prolonged resistance on the part/of the native episcopate. > S Now, my friends, I come to the substantive part of my address this afternoon. Why are we Protestants? I reply, First of all, we are Protestants because we build our faith and hope on the impregnable rock of Holy Scripture, and hot on the shiftin||MaBds of ecclesiastical tradition. The Bible, and the Bible alone, is the basis of the religion of Protestants; hut tradition, interpreting the Bible, and often superseding it and contradicting it, is the basis of the religion of Romanists. (Now when I use the term Romanist, I beg you to observe that I am using a term which has for authority no less a person than John H- New- ��������� man himself, for he published a book called "Lectures on Romanism and Popular Protestantism." Therefore, if instead of calling that church the Catholic church, I speak of it as Romanism, I am simply adopting the language of John H- Newman.) We follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and his apostles in building our faith only on the revelation of truth contained in the Bible. '' Search the Scriptures." Christ said. The Scripture cannot be broken. j The Church of Rome, on the contrary, builds her doctrines upon a double basis,���������the Bible and tradition; but by making tradition the authoritative-interpreter of-thePib^^ upon the teaching of the Bible, but upon the teaching of tradition. Now, that is a serious charge. I wish to prove it. The creed of Pope Pius IV., which was published in A.D. 1564, and has ever since been the universal symbol of doctrine in the Roman Church, declares as follows: 1. "I most firmly admit and embrace the apostolical and ecclesiastical traditions, and all other observances and constitutions of the said church. ^ 2. I admit also Holy Scripture, according to that sense which Holy Mother Church, to whom it appertains to judge of the true meaning and interpretation of the Sacred Scriptures, hath holden and still holds." Now compare with this the language of the Council of Trent: "The Holy Ecumenical and General Council of Trent . . . receives and venerates with equal affection of piety and reverence all the books of the Old and the New Testament, ... . as also the said traditions, as well those pertaining to faith as to morals, . . preserved in the Catholic Church by a continuous succession." ' ; .- A Fundamental Error Here, then, is the first, as it is the fundamental, error against which we; protest,���������the making tradition, i. e., the alleged oral teaching of the apostles, handed down from their times, of equal authority with.the written word of God; and the declaration that the Sacred Scriptures are to be admitted only in the sense in which the Roman Church explains them. The sixth article of the Church of England declares, on the contrary, that "Holy Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation; so that whatsoever is not read there-. in, nor may be proved thereby, is not to be required of any man that it should be believed as an article of faith." When this is denied, the very foundations of the faith are sapped. Our feet no longer stand on the rock of God's written Word, but upon the uncertain and shifting sands of tradition. No wonder that the Church of Rome has been "carried about by every wind of doctrine," since.,she has cast anchor upon such treacherous ground. For, mark you, as if it were not a sufficient impiety to declare the traditions (Ctntinuatf on Pat* 7) terminal City Press, Ltd. 203=207 Kingsway COMMERCIAL Your Jointing Orders will receive prompt and careful attention.

A WORLD IN ARMS Winston Churchill closed his speech in presenting the Naval Estimates to the House of Commons with a world survey of naval affairs. , All through it he had instituted comparisons with Germany, and he placed her case in the'forefront of this survey : The defeat of Germany at sea means nothing but the loss of the ships and the men. Behind the German Dreadnought line stands four and a half millions of soldiers- Nothing that we could do after a naval victory could affect the safety or freedom of a single German hamlet. Behind the British line of battle lies the long low coast line of the east of England, our trade routes, our food routes, our small army, and our vast peaceful population with'immense possessions. The burden of responsibility laid upon the British navy is heavy, and its weight increases year by year. All the world was building ships of the greatest power and training officers and men. Even small states. "It is sport to them; it is life and death to us," be cried. "We have won for ourselves an exceptional share of the wealth and the traffic of the world. We have got all we want in territory���������(cheers)���������but, our claim to live in undisputed enjoyment of our vast and splendid possessions, largely acquired by war and largely maintained by force, is one that often seems less reasonable to others than it does to us." World in Anns. He spoke of tbe value of our regular intervention in European affairs, and brought his speech to an end with this peroration: The world is arming as it has never armed before. Every suggestion for the arrest or limitation of armaments has been unsuccessful. From time to time awkward things happen and situations occur which make it necessary that the naval force at our immediate disposal, now in this quarter, now in thaly stauld be rapidly counted up. On such occasions the responsibilities which rest on the Admiralty come home with brutal reality to those who are responsible, and unless our naval strength were solidly ample and unswervingly maintained the government would not feel tbat they were doing itheir duty to the country. PUSBW0 ON WCWt* OF JCHYBEJt PASS FOJtTS Peshawur, India.���������With secrecy and speed unusual in public work, English army engineers are rushing to completion the forts and roads of Khyber Pass, to make it a Gibralear against invasion from the north. As domestic unrest grows in India, the fear of the Bussian bear and the unruly states between Russia and the Indian empire increases, and England is clearly determined not to be attacked in the rear in the event of a native rebellion. Two years ago the road across the famous pass was hardly more than a trail for pack animals, but today Khyber is traversed by two roads suitable for the fastest and heaviest millitary traction. The defensive works have been constructed with such secrecy that none of the details are known to the public- It is believed that the natural batlements formed by the cliffs above the roads are honeycombed with hidden embrasures behind which great mountain guns lie hidden. Competent engineers believe that unless the defending force is cut off from^the south, the pass can be defended by a small garrison even against a host such as the ancient invaders of India brought down from the north. IMPERIAL WIRELESS CHAIN Wireless experiments' betwen Durban and Johannesburg have hitherto failed, but a special operator left Durban recently, for a ten days' test, the object of which is to determine the site of the South African station in the Imperial wireless chain. The station is to have the capacity to signal direct to Malta. It will be planned on a large scale, with thirty-two aerials a mile long and three sources of electrical supply, including a self-containing installation. "There is no difficulty in obtaining oil; the difficulty is in obtaining it at a good price," and he raised his voice in emphasis. "We must look to sources independent of existing combinations, and also to developments of the home production of oil from.shale, and later, as we hope, from coal." I THE WORLD AT WORK * iH"H..H'M������'M'������4'4"M"H'<HMH"H^ MAKING THE DESERT BLOOM Authority and finances have been provided by the Turkish government for an irrigation project that will again bring into cultivation the great fertile plain of Mesopotamia, lying between the Tigris and Euphrates, the burial place of the most ancient civilization of the world, and the birthplace of history. The irrigation project is being carried out by the eminent English engineer, Sir William Willcocks, who built the great Assouan dam on the Nile. He will use in part the old canals constructed by the Babylonians, the plans of which are in existence. The water will come from the Euphrates, in sufficient quantity to irrigate three million out of the twelve million acres in the plain. This irrigated land will produce one million tons of wheat and a hundred thousand tons of cotton. There are also two and one-half million acres of swamp land to be drained. Transportation for the products will be secured by a railroad running from Bagdad, through Damascus, to the Mediterranean, SURPLUS ON INTERCOLONIAL DR. PARKIN SPEAKS ON CANADIAN OIL FIELDS London.���������Dr. Parkin, fellow of the Institute of Chemistry and the Chemical Society, read a paper before the Royal Society of Arts on Canadian and other Imperial oil resources. He said attention had recently been focussed on Alberta. It was noted that twelve wells were now drilling within the city limits of Medicine Hat. , Conditions similar to those of many of the world's greatest oil fields existed in the eastern foothills of the Rockies. If only a small portion Of existing projects proved successful Alberta would become the scene of the richest oil fields in the world, a most valuable asset to Canada and the British Empire. It was important therefore that the Canadian government encourage the opening up of new oil fields. This would-, encourage the confidence of British capitalists, he said. ���������;.'��������������������������� '.' ��������� STEWART INSTEAD OF NASOGA GULF MAY BE TERMINUS OF THE D. A. THOMAS LINE According to reports in railway construction circles, the route of the Nasoga-Groundhog line, promoted for the purpose of tapping the anthracite coal fields of Groundhog mountain, and headed by Mr. D. A. Thomas, the Welsh coal magnate, has been changed, and the line will hot terminate on tidewater at Nasoga gulf On Portland canal, but at the head of the canal at Stewart. At the time of the mining boom in the Portland canal district more than three years ago, Sir Donald Mann, as a private enterprise, built a fourteen mile railway from Stewart, the mining camp at the head of the canal up Bear river valley. This line is built on standard gauge, and, at that time, it was said to be the intention of thev well known builder to extend into Peace river district. But the line was closed down when the mining boom subsided, and during the past year or so a zealous citizen of the camp has used it and one of the small handcars and pair of dogs in transporting supplies along the valley. A large wharf and station headquarters were built in connection with the project. It now is said that Mr. Thomas and his associates are negotiating for it, as it gives a good grade to the Groundhog district, though there isi ^a tunnel of about 2,000 feet necessary to maintain a good grade through Bear river pass, The; distance would be about 150 miles to the coaj fields, against close to 150 by the original survey with Nasoga gulf as the tidewater terminus. At Stewart at the head of the canal there is a perfect harbor and the distance from Nasoga is not considered too great to make the proposed change' in route an item of consideration from a standpoint of water transportation. " GREAT GOLD SCHIST DYKE DISCOVERED Formation Said to Be Twenty Miles Wide���������Pis- .-.;. coverer Stakes. ~.:\.-a.. The Pas, Man.���������F W. Robinson, D. LvS., an expert geologist, has examined the territory at the goldfields and finds that there is a schist;; dyke, which contains gold quartz about twenty1 miles wide north and south. On the north, the'- quartz runs into granite and on the south is &������ limestone formation. The line of contact between the limestone and the gold quartz is at the north end of Beaver lake approximately. The length of the schist is not known and may be several hundred miles. Robinson covered an area of fifty square miles and staked 22 claims. He says it is possible to find gold in large quantities anywhere in the schist; and believes that better discoveries will be' made than the original ones. WOMAN ENGINEER. Regina, April 3.���������Mrs. Victor Garnist, who was for twenty years a licensed engineer in Minnesota, applied today to take out a license here, desiring to run her husband's traction engine. Because the Saskatchewan law defines persons qualified to become engineers as males over 18, she was refused. She says there are many women in the province who would become engineers if they could secure licenses. MILLION TRAVELLERS TO EXPOSITION It is predicted and apparently with much soundness that there will be over a million people go from the East to San Francisco next year. There appears to be little doubt but that the Exposition will be ready on time. In fact it has been officially stated that the Exposition grounds and buildings are eighty per cent, completed now. BIG SUNSPOT DISCOVERED Washington, April 2.���������A sunspot group about 50,000 miles long, consisting of a large circular spot and faculae, with small spots in them, has been discovered by the naval observatory here. It was photographed at noon yesterday. Past Year Has Been Very Successful The success of the Borden Government in handling the Intercolonial railway is shown by the fact that for the first time in its history the government owner road has been run with the same energetic and business like manner as a private owned railway. During the two and a half years of Conservative administration the road has been put on a new and sounder basis, and despite increased cost of material and operation, along with greatly increased wages for the men, has shown surpluses almost for the first time in its history. The surpluses have been turned over to the renewal of equipment account. Incidentally, during the past year nearly a million dollars was spent in new equipment and rolling stock. Surplus of $300,000 The receipts, as announced by Hon. Dr. Reid, acting Minister of Railways, in the House this week, will total for the year $12,632,973, and the estimated expenditure will be about $12,328,000, leaving a net surplus for the current fiscal year of about $300,000. "During the present year," said Dr. Reid, "we have been able so far to transfer to equipment renewal ac count $300,000, also to rail renewal account $150,000, and to fire renewal account $60,000, or a total of $510,- 000." Growth in Traffic The growth in traffic since the Borden government has started, to run the Intercolonial railway as a business proposition is remarkable. Last year alone there was an increase in the number of passengers carried of 229,- 563, and of freight tons removed of 210,971. Halifax Terminals In addition to improving the road itself, the government has undertaken big terminal works at Halifax. It has been a recognized, fact for many years that the terminal facilities, not only at Halifax, but at St. John, were insufficient. In fact, if the trade is developed to any considerable extent from the extension of the Transcontinental railway to the Lower 4 Provinces, and the growth of our country, it would be impossible to handle the traffic at Halifax and St. John without very great improvement./ , V,':)���������:'���������. When Completed Accordingly terminal plans were * prepared to cost some $5,200,000, and are now well under way.*, "When these terminals 'are complete," added the Minister, "we believe that we will have a harbor equal to any other port in the world, with a capacity sufficient to handle the traffic which is expected to come through :- that port." ' 9. C. IJUDIIS TO BE 54 40-ACRE TRACTS ARE READY FOR SETTLERS IN SAYWARD DISTRICT , W Are W he Thrown Open for Vancouver on May 18 On Monday morning, May 18, fifty- four forty-acre tracts in ithe Salmon Riyer valley are to be thrown open for pre-emption 'by the Provincial government. The rule is to be, first come, first served, and it is likely that the office of Mr. J. Mahoney, the government agent, in ,the court house in this city will witness some interesting spectacles in the rush for the tracts. The fifty-four lots are all logged off lands in townships three and six, in the Sayward. district of Vancouver island, and were formerly held as timber berths by the Hastings Sawmill Company, and the B. C. Mills Timber and Trading Company. The lands will be declared open for entry by pre-emption at 9 o'clock in the morning of May 18, and all applications have to be made at the office of the government agent at Vancouver. The. lands have already been surveyed into blocks ranging from 36 to 42 acres, to suit the topography of the country.,; The lots in township six are situated on both banks of Salmon river near the junction of White river, while those in township three are on the east bank of Salmon river, near to Johnson strait. With the exception of two patches where gravel occurs in |the sandy loam, the land is said to be equal to the richest in Vancouver island, being either a sandy loam or a rich red marl. In the lots in township three the clearing to be done., is heavier than on the other lots, owing to more small timber having been left by the loggers, and a good deal of windfall. The surveyors report that there is a good deal of game in the valley. Tnere are already a number of settlers in the valley who are doing well. A local agricultural association has been formed, and the valley has been opened up by the construction ot a wagon road and a bridge across the river. The river has a width of 250 feet, and is navigable for gasoline launches for a considerable distance. Other lands in the interior, in the vicinity of Cranbrook and Fernie are to be throw nopen for pre-emption on May 1, and must be reorded at the Cranbrook or Fernie office of the government. The throwing open of these lands for pre-emption is part of the land settlement policy brought forward by Hon. W. R. Ross, Minister of Lands, at the last siting of the Legislature.

Our temporary ajid slight slackening of trade is prosperity compared to the conditions south of the Line. On the United States conditions this great magazine draws this gloomy picture: "The principal charity organizations of New York city reports 350,000 men out of work there; in Chicago the unemployed number more than 120,000; in Milwaukee, 30,000; in Los Angeles, 30,000; in San Francisco, 40,000. From many parts of the country come* the complaint that the ordinary resources of public charity are unable to cope with the most distressing industrial conditions that has confronted us in many years. Meantime the cost of living continues to rise upon the poor, the boundaries of poverty to spread and its misery to deepen-" There is no other country that has come through the period of depression with as little hardship as Canada. HEN LAID OFF BY MANY THOUSANDS New York Central Dismisses 25,000 in Four Months, Pennsylvania 16,000 New York.���������A. T. Hardin, vice-president of the New York Central railway and head of its operating department, announced tonight that the New York central had been forced to dismiss 25,000 workmen since December 1,1913. This statement followed an announcement of the Pennsylvania railway on Thursday that 15,000 men had been dismissed on that Line. Mr. Hardin said that the conditions, so far; as he had learned, were thecsame on other Eastern railways. REMARKABLE OPERATION j- Baltimore.���������What is believed to be the first operation of its kind in this country was performed yesterday at a local hospital, when the cornea of a pig's eye was takei off and grafted on to the sightless eye of a three-months old boy. It is said that previous operations in which rabbits' eyes had been used, were unsuccessful, but that experiments with pigs' eyes had led scientists to believe that they were more adaptable. Two cases were said to be on record where the grafting of human corneas gave sight to totally blind eyes. In yesterday's operation the pig was chloroformed, the eyeball taken out, and the cornea cut from it. An extraordinary fine needle and fine silk were used in putting the cornea in place until it has grown to the child's eyeball. The eye will remain bandaged for about a week. 4^^*4^^^*|4^^^l^^44^4W^^44^l^l4^Mg^4^^44^4^<^4^4^44^Mg44J44^4^44J44^^4^tJ4K^4^* ���������I���������.^.S���������.^.t..^.^���������i���������.^.^..t..H^^^������^^a^^I^^^<^^H'���������H^^^^^'^^^t'^^^^^^^^l^'H' CLAIM FOR VIOLATION OF TREATY OF GHENT British Government'Pressing Demand by Kingston Lady for 26,000.

Miss Elizabeth Cadenhead, a British subject from Kingston, Ont., was killed in the streets of Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., by a bullet fired by a Fort Brady sentry at an escaping military prisoner. The suit, taken, up today, was brought by the British government in behalf of Miss Cadenhead's heirs. ALASKA TOWN IS NOW FILED ON AS FARM LAND . Seattle.���������The site of Dyea, Alaska, which in the days of the Klondike rush contained 20,000 inhabitants, has been filed on as farming land by three homesteaders. .One is an Indian woman, another a young man who is founding a fox ranch. : r* VA 50,000,000 PEOPLE IN CANADA Hon. Waiter Scott, Premier of Saskatchewan, speaking at Sidney, Australia, said: "Until we have about 40,000,000 or 50,000,000 people in Canada the country will not be developed properly, nor will Canadians reap the utmost benefit from their labors., The immigration statistics show, I think, that close upon 500,000 people are coming into the country annually, and most of these have gone oh the land, and are farming it profitably. We want more. I admit, of course, that we have thousands who are inclined to drift into the citiec instead of remaining at work in the country. Our comparatively small population in so large a territory is like an infant trying to run a 10,000-acre farm, because he can't make proper use of it." The Turkish government has given a French bank a concession to build an electric railroad between Jerusalem and Bethlehem and for lighting the former city with electricity. RANCHING REGULATIONS Hon.

Dated at the office of the Secretary of State of Canada, this 21st day of March, 1914. THOMAS MULVEY, Under Secretary of State. For years the great ranching industry of the West has been greatly handicapped by obsolete regulations. This great industry was being wiped out, and the West is suffering in consequence of the decreased production of horses, cattle and sheep. When the .government came into power a commision was appointed to investigate the industry. Insecurity of tenure of leases was one of the greatest drawbacks to the development of the stock industry. After carefully revising the recommendations of the commission, and consulting with the best authorities on this subject, Hon. Dr. Roche, Minister of Interior, drafted new regulations. Half Section the Maximum In future the maximum areas granted (under lease to any one person will be a half section. No particular part of the provinces is set aside for ranching, but the regulations apply to the whole of the three. Applications for grazing leases on any land will only be granted after inspection to determine whether the land in question is grazing or agricultural landi} Where the farmers adjoining grazing^ land express their desire that this lie retained a������ a commons for all to use for their stock, no lease will be granted. Lessees must fence the area they obtain tinder lease. Leases will be granted for ten years, but existing leases will not be disturbed until their expiration. ' . In the Foothill -Country 'West of the Calgary-Edmonton and Calgary-McLeod railways, what is known as the foothill country, is now nearly all under lease and in very large blocks. Here the lessees of these great areas have signified their intention of giving up a part of their grazing lands as soon as the farmers acquire stock. These areas will likely be held as commons; will be for the use of all the farmers engaged in stock raising. Lessees will be required to have one head of horse or cattle or five sheep for every thirty acres. Where the inspectors believe that the land will not carry that amount of stock they will fix the number they consider should be grazed on each area. Thirtyrthree per cent, of the required stock must be placed the first year .on each leased area granted. At' leiast twenty-five per cent, of the stock'must always be breeding stock. An Impetus to Ranching It is believed that these new regulations will give an impetus .to the ranching industry by giving a permanency of tenure to the j leases. They will also greatly stimulate farming by securing ample grazing land! to the farmers for their stock. It is expected that under these new provisions the West will again take its place as one of the great stock- raising countries of the world. The development of this industry will add to the prosperity and permanency of the "Western settler. The farmer who wishes grazing privileges is protected, the agriculturist'has still access to all arable land, and the rancher is giveh"-a -permanency -of-tenure that will encourage him to develop his industry. ���������|l������.|ii|,ii.,I,.t..>.|..l.,I,.l.,|.tl.?..|,.}.,;,.M.,I,.M..|.,;,.i.<.<l<.<,,I���������>l|���������|���������|���������|���������|l t,.t.,t..l.,|.

A 4- year-old cow gave in one month 920 pounds, of milk containing 35 pounds of fat. In the same herd a 5-year-old cow gave only 330 ponds of milk and 19 ponds of fat. Thus the first cow gave more than the other two combined. This further fact is interesting: This particular cow was sold by a man absolutely ignorant of her value or dairy capacity. The present owner, through, keeping individual records, knows her better and would not sell her for less than thirty dollars than he paid for her. Another fact is worth careful attention, the total of the herd yield for a day or a month will never reveal these good individuals. What the owner needs to know for certain is obtained only from a record of each cow he keeps. You can save labor and good feed by bestowing them on cows. that you know are worth keeping; you will then be in a position to keep your best cows, and will not lose money by selling good cows cheap.

C Af>ett/*Gr ������** CO. ; fkee Consul Chon bowed gravely, and I, In my turn, gestured my visitors to itsume their seats. So far i hadj not apoken. but mentally 4 had been baair. Frankly, I distrusted Tup Slug, and I questioned how much ot hia ex*! planation, -whatever It might be, 1 tould afford to accept Fortunately,! however. I now bad aome basis for Judgment. I felt tbat, so far as it] went, tho letter from Miss Clement., could be relied upon absolutely. If. tho merchant's story coincided, then It would perhaps be safe to assume the, correctness of added details. If it did; not coincide, I was ln possession of I tamable material for cross-examination. "I am an advocate of the polloy of reciprocity, Mr. Tup." I said at length. "If, In return for your service, I can; sender & service to you, you have only; to command me." I chose a chair between them and the door, and sitting down assumed an attitude of attention. "What I tell you," began tho mer-j chant, his body erect, his shoulders; squared, his chin lifted, "Mr. Chen will! verify." And once more Mr. Chen endorsed his friend's assertion by a, grave forward sweep of his head. "When you came to me, Mr. Clyde, with the story of your friend Mr. Cameron's annoyance and subseobent abduction, I was Inclined to the view that you were, yourself, in some way; deceived. What I have learned since, corroborates that impression. As you! say here in America, your friend, Mr. Cameron, did not play fair with you," Under ordinary circumstances I; might possibly have permitted this assertion to go unchallenged. I am not as a rule truculent; more often than not I And it advisable to Ignore preliminary inaccuracies of narration, the. quicker to reach the vitals of the narrative. But on this night I was con- trarily disposed. Tho inscrutable countenance and the superior, almost pat ronlsing manner of the speaker chafed and irritated mo to the verge of-endurance; and so, without hesitation, I Interrupted him with a contradiction. "If all that you have learned is no more reliable than this corroboration," I declared, warmly, "ws might as well end the Interview hero and now. Of Mr. Cameron's fairness at all times and under all circumstances there can bo no question. He is my friend, tried and trusted, and incapable, of deceit. On that I would stake everything I hold most dear; and .wo may as well have It clearly understood at tbe outset." A white man would either have Insisted or apologized. But the yellow man haa a way of bis own. Yup Sing treatment. Passage money required; $45. I Win lend the money on good; security, but I cannot take your wife and child in pay. Come to Canton,, iahd I will care for you until the ship; I sails. The ship is good.' The circular 'was signed by Ah Shoo, the agent. In response to it, exactly ninety-seven of my countrymen, having left good security for the required passage money, were led stealthily aboard a small, coasting vessel one night, and tbe vessel slipped quietly down the Chu-Klang to the open sea, with McNish himself at. the helm, and a Eurasian named John Woo, in the galley." ' The Vice Consul was now consulting a slip of paper bearing, as I could see, certain Chinese characters. "If I am in error," said Yup Sing, addressing his companion, "I pray you to correct me." Whereat Mr. Chen Mok smiled reassuringly. "You are in all particulars accurate," he announced; and the Mott street merchant, thus encouraged, proceeded. "The .vessel, you understand, Mr. Clyde, was what 1b known In those waters as a lorcha. It was not so large as a junk and it dlgsred ln other respects as'well. It���������" "I think I have seen a, rude, but more or less effective representation of' it," I Interrupted: -, "I know to what you refer," was the ���������speaker's rejoinder. "But that was more or leBs conventional. As-1 told ;you, every child draws boats like that. .However, the lorcha was to be used .merely to convey the passengers to iMcNish's steamship, which had si- iready cleared from Hong Kong, and [which waited off the coast well out of. ;slght of prying cruisers. Such, at 'least, was the explanation. Whether JMcNlsh ever had a steamship is a {matter for conjecture. Whether a (United States cruiser of the Pacific jSquadron, having received a hint as ito his purpose, bore down upon him, as has been said, Is likewise open to question. But of the truth of the incidents which followed there can be no 'dispute.'*/ ���������--; >'���������-.'���������"���������������������������. He hesitated long enough for the Vice Consul to echo: "No dispute, whatever, Mr. Clyde," and continued: "On the second morning'after leaving Canton, an hour after dawn, when be at least pretended to see-the cruiser In full chase, he ordered bis passengers below, declaring that their safety depended upon their keeping out of sight.

At this Juncture^ Yup Sing slowly rose to hls\feet. "And now," he said,"I want you to picture -what-followed.- Standing-up, axe in hand, Ponald McNish began his diabolic work.

To die for one's country, or for one's honor, Is to be privileged. To die of pestilence or famine Is deplorable. But to die by treachery is to leave a poor legacy to those who follow���������a legacy of unrest until vengeance has been wrought." He paused for just a moment and I moved Impatiently. But to disconcert him by my. not rewarded. "It is possible, Mr. Clyde," ho continued, "that you are familiar with the history of the trade In coolies between your country and mine?" I nodded. "Yes," I answered, "passably familiar. I know that at one time it was black with outrages. I know that ln 1882 a Chinese exclusion act was passed, and tbat In 1801 the Oesry law followed." "But you did not know, perhaps, that ln spite/ of your laws, the smug- fife* of Chinamen���������ot Chinese labor- jers���������-Into this country, has been most continuously practiced?" "It Is quite possible, I dare say. I do not know the facts, however." "The facts in a general way are not material," Yup Sing assured me. "But I shall Inform you of a single specific ���������case.' Sixteen years ago there appeared in Canton a white man, supposedly a Scotchman, calling himself Donald McNish, and representing, according to his own statement, certain large American Interests. Through a native agent it became known that :McNlsh was in search of coolies. Very soon, circulars appeared throughout; the district, worded somewhat after ���������this fashion: 'To the countrymen of (Ah Shoo. Laborers are wanted in the lland of California. Great works to be idone there, good houses, plenty food. I You will get $20 a month and good there opened a gaping hole through which, upon those ninety-seven trapped souls, rushed the bitter waters of death." It was a, very dramatic recital. Unaccompanied though it was by a single gesture, tha speaker's voice lent itself most effectively to the tragedy. T7'������.^ht.Ana th0UBn 1 disliked and distrusted ������h������������ ? ���������.! Wm������I 'as certainly more or less im- acuon ������ was .pre8Md by the scene be painted. "McNish escaped, I presume?" I asked the question more to relieve the tensity of the silence which ensued, than because of any doubt on tbis point. "McNish escaped," be echoed. "And no one else?" "The Eurasian'cook escaped, too. He broke out of his galley. Hastily he patched together a raft and reached land a week later, more dead than alive." "And all the rest���������those ninety-seven deluded, tricked countrymen of lyours���������perished ?" "To a man." "Then the graphic description you have juBt given me, came���������how? From Whom? Certainly not from the cook, Whcwas locked in the galley?" 'Tartly from the cook, yes," he answered, unmoved. "And partly from one to whom McNish, himself, described his own crime." The Vice Consul here added a word. "Moreover," he said, and his accent tsvas in marked contrast with the merchant's perfect English, "we have corroborative evidence. It happened that the lorcha 'sank in what you call shoal water. Six months later, she was declared a menace to shipping. [Under ordinary conditions she would have been dynamited where she was. But because of the tragedy, she was al- ralsed, and examined; and the hole in , .h?r bow proved the truth of what we had heard." In spite of the seriously Impressive manner of my informants I was fair from credulous. Such a crime might have been perpetrated, but I questioned-that the perpetrator, for his skin's sake, if for no "other reason, would ever have admitted the deed, much less haye truthfully detailed the manner of its commission. But, even admitting that there was neither Invention nor misrepresentation in the narrative, I was now more than ever convinced that Robert Cameron had no part in It, and that in placing even the slightest blame upon him an egregious error had been com- Imltted. * "What you tell me," I said, at length, '"la very interesting, but I do not see iJust how it applies to my tortured and *now missing friend." ' The Vice Consul In an unguarded 'moment forgot himself. ��������� "You no can see?" he queried, lapsing for the nonce Into the vernacular. "I certainly can not." Mr. Yup Sing Indulged ln the shadow of an ley smile. "Your friend, Mr. Clyde," he said, with a brief impressive pause between each word, "and Donald McNish are one and tbe same man." Up to this point I had maintained my poise. I had listened with feigned respect and denied myself the satisfaction of interruptions. But at this preposterous claim, I could contain myself no longer. Before the slowly apoken sentence'"was complete I had sprung up, restless with Impatient Indignation, my blood throbbing ln my temples, my hands Itching to throttle an honest man's traducers. ,.. "That," I cried, hoarse with exasperation, "is a damnable lie!" If I expected retaliation I was disappointed. .��������� Yup Sing's seamed yellow face continued an Immobile mask for whatever emotion he may have felt, and Chen Mok placidly consulted his memoranda. "Robert Cameron," I went .on, my paBsion whetted by their indifference, "has been a gentleman of leisure and fortune always. Of all men in the world he is the last to be accused of such a crime as this. A seafaring mas! A smuggler of coolies! It is too preposterous even for discussion. And I want to tell you now^ Mr. Yup, and you, too, Mr. Chen, that I shall leave no stone unturned to bring to justice those who are guilty of having made this unthinkable mistake. Hitherto I have been unable to get a clew. But what you have said tonight does away with that difficulty. Both of you shall answer, now, to the authorities." As I spoke I edged toward an electric push-button, at the side of the chimney-piece, and at the last word, I pressed it. -r' ;} That Checkabeedy, foHowinjRnr instructions, had remained within close call was demonstrated by his prompt appearance. - V "Telephone the police station," I commanded, "to send two officers here at ohce." ��������� CHAPTER XXHl.

I should not have been surprised had I been forced to restrain them���������to make them prisoners,' in fact, until the arrival of the police. But neither of them either moved or spoke,] until the silence, in my nervoubly excited condition, becoming unbearable tome, I demanded: ' "By what right, Mr. Yup, do i you make the assertion tbat my friend and your enemy are 000?'' ��������� : < /With a supercilious arrogance of manner that maddened me to the limit of self-control, be made.j-eply.

"That Is all very well," I exclaimed,, fmpatlently, "but can't you see that a terrible mistake has 'been made? Why under heaven you should fancy that in Mr. Cameron, a gentleman to his finger-tips, you have found this outlaw McNish is incomprehensible." Once more Yup Sing smiled his icy imile and the Vice Consul made as if to speak, but thinking better of it, apparently, maintained his stolid silence. "You were coming to that," I urged. "The man to whom McNish boasted of his deed was the man who Identified, him. They had been partners in the Par East in the trade of smuggling coolies. The one, I have no doubt,; was no better than the other; yet we! believe that our informant was neither directly nor Indirectly concerned in the particular piece of brutality of which I have told you. Eventually, he" and McNish quarrelled and parted. For! some years he lost all trace of him;I and then by accident, one day he came! upon-him, here in America, living in a palace on Long Island Sound and masquerading under a new name." "A resemblance!" I cried, ln a passion of Indignation. "A mere resemblance! And on that you and your people conspire to torment and abduct a, purely innocent man. Was ever Address by Dr. McKim=-"VVhy We Are Protestants" (Continued from Page 2) of men to be of equal authority with the written Word of God, she really exalts tradition above the Word, by making that the rule of interpreta- tioni The False Decretals Let me give you an example to show how far the traditions to which the Church of Rome appeals are to be depended on. In the ninth century a tremendous forgery arose, under the name of the Isidorian decretals, consisting of nearly one hundred letters, written in the names of earlier bishops of Rome, together with certain spurious writings of other church dignitaries, and acts of hitherto unknown councils. These documents were eagerly seized upon by Nicholas I., who was Pope at that time, and by him and his successors were made the instrument of; completely revolutionizing the constitution of the church, and developing the papal power, from a mere primacy, into an absolute ecclesiastical despotism. For centuries these false decretals were accepted as genuine; but for over three hundred years their true character has been known, and they have been on all hands admitted to be a forgery, and a very clumsy forgery at that Even the most extreme partisans of Rome now admit this,���������indeed, the popes themselves have admitted it, yet the radical changes "Which they were the instruments of in- troducing^remain. Now,' one cannot help asking, What dependence is to be placed on the traditions which the Church of Rome professes to have preserved since the time of the apostles, if she thus accepted for so many centuries this gross forgery, and made it the support and foundation of doctrines and -usages she has insisted on as vital to the true constitution of the church? And this is only one of numerous examples in which the infallible Church of Rome has accepted, and magnified the authority of documents which have subsequently been proved and admitted to be forgeries. But if she is thus incapable of distinguishing the true from the false in the writings and documents of her own!-bishops and synods, how are we to trust her when she presents us with alleged traditional handed down from the age of the apostles ? And how can we do otherwise than protest against her j impiety when we see the plainest declarations of j the Sacred Scriptures made void by her pretended] traditions ? In our Saviour V time the Pharisees 1 appealed to tradition, but our Lord made his!ap-/f peal ever to the Scriptures. He changed themj with transgressing the commandments of God by I their traditions. His words to them are most ap-/] plicable today to the Church of Rome: "ThusJ have ye made the commandment of God of none j effect by your tradition." Matt. 15:6. J'In vain] they do worship me, teaching for doctrines thei commandments of men." Verse 9. He said to] the Jews, "Search^the Scriptures." He never! said, Search your traditions. There are the words, and there is the author-j ity, of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ against] the method which the Church of Rome adopts ir asking us to accept her traditions as the basis oi doctrine. Roman Catholic Interpretation of Scripture But again, the Roman Catholic hierarchy teaches that the Bjble is to' be accepted only ac| cording to the sense which the church puts upoi it. Now, perhaps you would like to haye a sampl 1 or two of the interpretations of this infallibll church. Well, here is one of many that might bjf given. What do you suppose is the chief passag relied upon to establish the;; dogma of papal ii fallibility? Here it is in our fjord's words to Sj] Peter: "Satan hath desired to have you, that hj may sift you as wheat; but I have prayed' f0 thee, that thy faith fail not; and when thou ai converted, strengthen thy brethren" Luke 2������ 31-32. This, we are told by Romanist interpretei since Pope Agatho, A.D. 680, contains the grai of special privilege to the bishops of Rome as su<; cessors^of St. Peter. And this, although not onJ of the eighteen Fathers who comment upon tha passage gives any hint of such an interpretation] (To be continued.) ���������nob an outrage heard of! Every One jot you shall pay dear for this error." I might have been the fire wood sputtering on the hearth for all the effect my vehemence had ; upon tbat precious'pair of Mongolians.! "We understand," the spokesman resumed, "that your friend managed in Some way to escape from his captors, and is now in this house." '���������Yes/''" I resumed, hotly. "He's here, more dead than alive unfortunately; but be is coming around slowly and will be quite able to testify when the time comes." ' "Mr. Chen Mok," he proceeded, jcalmly, "has communicated with the (state Department at Washington, and She United States authorities are now >nly waiting: burTwo'rd to put your ;ood, gentlemanly friend under arrest, jMr. Clyde, tor the crime be committed on. the high seas, sixteen-- yeaw iago." For a moment I stared at them In Silent amazement. "You're both mad," I exploded at ���������length, "both crazy. Do you think for one moment I believe such rot as that? Even if what you say were possible���������and n isn't���������you would have to [Identify the accused by something bet- Iter than the mere word of a man who ihadn't seen blm for years. Of what :use would such an Identification be against the testimony of Mr. Cameron's life-long friends?" N "Since you doubt our ability to Wontlfy," was Mr. Tup's prompt re- Joinder, "I may add tbat there are two marks of Identification, which must, I think, convince even yourself." ��������� {laughed grimly. So that was their fame!_ For nearly a month Cameron Ibad t>een their prisoner. In that time they had examined, Inspected, Inventoried biro. Hia scars, moles, birth- marks bad been Hated, and were now to be used to identify .Mm wltli a renegade murderer of Chinese coolies. I told my slant-eyed visitors that their trick was transparent. Put they only looked at me with an expression which seemed half pity and half contempt, -v, "Did you ever observe a tattoo mark on your friend's left forearm?" asked Mr. Chen Mok. \ "Never," I answered. "He has one there." "I am willing "to^wager something valuable he hasn't a tattoo mark anywhere on his person," I retorted*, "and PlI prove it in live minutes." "Wo shall be glad to haw tao proof," said Yup Sing. Once more I pressed tho button at the side of the chimney-piece, and once again Checkabeedy appeared tn the doorway. "You telephoned?" I asked. "Yes, sir." "Very good, now send Mr. Bryan to sn* here, at once." Then turning to jCameron's accusers, I explained: "Mr. Bryan, for whom I have just sent, Is nursing my friend. Ho would naturally know if what you say is true." To my surprise they made no demur. Yup. Sing, however, asked that he might be permitted to put to the nurse the necessary questions, and as I was perfectly confident that no lncriminat- ilng answers could be given, no matter what the form of catechism, I willingly acceded. Had I not played tennis and golf "with Cameron scores of times on hot summer days when, with shirt sleeves irolled above his elbows, his forearms were bared to view? Could there by any possibility have been a tattoo mark there, and I not have seen it? Mr. Bryan came quickly, a little puz- sled, seemingly, at being called to Such an audience. Purposely I kept 'Silence, merely waving an introductory hand toward the two Chinamen. Yup Sing tactfully explained the situation. -������:- Next W������ek.) t "'" : .

The Congress has become a clearinghouse for information, and the annual sessions a forum for discussiqn notable in the history of the general forward agricultural movement now taking possession of the world. ' The 1914 sessions will be held in Wichita, Kansas, U. S. A., October 7-17. The preparedness of Wichita,, a city of 64,000 people, is unquestioned. The organization foresees an excellent relationship with the city offWichita and the state of Kansas 'during the year. The city has ample railroad facilities; its location is excellent ; agricultural conditions surrounding it make the work of the Congress entirely consistent, and the facilities for housing both the Congress and Exposition are so excellent as to he very gratifying, indeed. The Congress will be held in the Forum, a municipally owned building, which seats 6,000 people, and is a great modern auditorium, one of the largest in the West. With it, are the Exposition grounds, much, of whose housing facilities are already in permanent existence. The nearness and the excellence of the location cannot be overlooked. WHAT AILS AULD SCOTLAND SCOTLAND'S NEW BIRTHRATE Marquis Wheat Offer Wichita, Kansas, March 13,1914. My Dear Sir:��������� '';>���������_, I want to call your attention to some prize wheat seed. I am sure you will be interested in it and will want some. - At Tulsa, last October, Paul Gerlach, of Al- latl, Saskatchewan, Canada, took the first prize for the best bushel of hard wheat, securing a Rumley threshing machine, worth $1,250. . This wheat is Marquis, which has broken all records in the Northwest for quantity and quality of yields under0 dry land conditions. The sample tested 71 pounds per bushel. This wheat is now our property, and we have devised the scheme of dividing^ it into small lots and auctioning it to the highest bidder, the proceeds to go to the support of the Congress. . This auction will be April 1. Until that time, I shall receive bids for one full pint each. There will be 64 lots and not more than two pints will be sold to any one farmer. No price has been set. A certificate will accompany the wheat. Money sent by those who are not successful bidders will be returned. Don't you want some of this wheat, which, in three years' time should produce enough to plant a good sized field? "���������'���������' Very sihcerely'yours, s B.H. FAXON, Secretary Treasurer. The International Dry-Farming Congress. Serious people are shaking their heads over the announcement that Scotland's birthrate for 1913, which was 25.5 per thousand, is the lowest yet recorded and no less than 28.4 per cent, less than 1876, the maximum year, the natural increase of the year, that is the excess of "births over deaths was 47,476 which is 2,903 less than in the previous year, 4,487 less than the average naturaj increase of the preceding five years and 6,199 less than the mean of the last ten years. Such a position cannot be regarded with equanimity. We will be told that the love of pleasure and ease accounts for the smaller families. No doubt the increased cost of living isjilso a factor. Good trade has resulted in a record,marriage rate for the year, and it is gratifying to notice that the death rate from tuberculosis is 12 less than in 1910 and 42 less than the mean of the years 1901-10, while that for phthisis is 7 less than in 1910 and 31 less than the mean rate of the tenK years. Healthier conditions and a wider knowledge of the methods by which the disease can be fought are no doubt responsible for this very considerable improvement. MIXED BATHING ' FOR ST. ANDREWS St. Andrews, hot without some hesitation, has decided to have mixed bathing. Dean di Guild Grubb was quite shocked, and declared that the proposal would offend the susceptibilities of both ratepayers and visitors. Mixed bathing had been a- dopted on the Continent, but he did not regard that as any reason for introducing it in St. Andrews. Their city was a university city, and he did not think that mixed bathing would be an honor. But the City,Council had no fear, and this summer there will be family bathing parties' at the Step flock.

GENERAL NEWS ITEMS t OBUISEE MALASPINA CAPTURES SEATTLE HALIBUT FISHBOAT A radio telegram from the fisheries cruiser Malaspina/Capt. Newcombe, at sea, gave the news that the Malaspina had captured the Prince Olaf, < an American fishing schooner with her fishing gear down, inside the three-mile limit. The cruiser wired that she was towing the captured fishboat into Prince Rupert. . The Prince Olaf is probably one of the new gas halibut fishing schooners operating from Seattle, carrying six dories and twelve fishermen. Fishing vessels of this class cost to build about $12,000, There is a Canadian Prince Olaf, a small vessel used as a cannery tender on the Skeena .river.

Victoria, B. G, March 31.���������Eighty thousand acres of land adjacent to the Grand Trunk Pacific railway, which is to be completed from ocean to ocean on April 10, a large proportion bordering on ithe railroad, will be opened to pre-emption in the valley of the South Fork of the Fraser river in June, according to an announcement made���������yesterday by-the Hon. William R. Ross, Minister of Lands. When the work of building the Grand Trunk. Pacific railway was begun this valley, which contains a large amount of agricultural land, favorably situated,, was placed in reserve. In 1907 a reserve was created under which a strip -of six miles covering the valley was reserved for the pre-emptor. Now that the railroad is completed the agricultural lands are being opened to the settler. The land to be opened to settlement is in two parts, the eastern half stretching on either side of McBride. the young city 90 _ miles from the eastern border of the province, where a divisional point has been created. Car shops, large yards, etc;? arc being built, and a city is in its infancy. The western half stretches from Willow Station on the G. T. P., not far east from Fort George to join the other part of the tract. ^ Bustling Young Town. The lots in the eastern half will be opened to entry by pre-emption at McBride on June 1 at 9 a. m., a special office being opened there by the Land Commissioner of _Jhe district for one week in order to give those who seek a homestead there an opportunity to file theitf records at the nearest ''city to the land, and, after a week records will be made at the office of the government agent for the district at Fort George. The lots in the western half Will be opened to entry by pre-emption on June 15 at 9 a. m. at the office of the government agent at Fort George. , McBride, where the lots in the eastern half will be opened for a week, beginning at 9 a. m. on June 1, was the first townsite laid out in the district, and the first postoffice in the district was created there. It is a bustling young town, and, as it is in the heart of the agricultural land, is expected to become a great center. It is 145*miles from Fort George, 90 miles from the eastern border of the province and 345 miles from Edmonton. The town, named in honor of British Columbia's Premier, is both the passenger and freight-divisional point and a large amount of money has been expended by the railway com-] pany to make preparations for the future,- alHts-xonstruction=-being-of-a large type. Thie yards cover eight miles; and the station, yards, roundhouse, shops, etc., are the largest between Winnipeg and Prince Rupert. The G. T. P. have a hospital, and there are few permanent buildings, the number of which is being increased. There are some rooming houses and three or four well stocked stores. Farming and Lumbering. The valley of the South Fork of the Fraser in which the large area of land, set aside, when the railroad was begun, and held until transportation! facilities were provided for the pre- emptor, varies in width from one to two miles in its upper part at Tete Jaune Cache to five miles at McBride, six at Goat river, and about ten miles at the Canyon. It lies at a mean altitude of 2250 feet above sea level. The main industry of a great part of the valley, other than farming, will be lumbering, and this should reach considerable proportions. There is a large amount of good timber, and the lumber mills built to handle it, together with the towns along the railroad between Fort George and Mount Robson park, which, before long will prove a great tourist resort reached from the west. through this valley, should prove a ready market for farm produce from this district. A large mill with a maximum daily capacity of 100,000 .feet has been built by the Upper Fraser River Mills Company at Mile 14, near Dome creek. Another big mill is projected for Mile 128, and a number of other sites are being sought for mill purposes. A pamphlet descriptive of the district, with special maps showing the various lots which will be available for pre-emption in this valley in June, is now being prepared, and will shortly be issued by the Department of Lands. ������\> | M 'M"M"H "I ���������|"M'<'<''M''M"M"H''|' ������S4ffTY rmsf Has been the watchword of The Mutual from the day it was organized in 1869 up to the present time.

A very remarkable index of the temperance trend of the present day business management is on the face of every deed which the Santa Fe railroad makes out for lots in the new town of Riverbank, Cal., which it is establishing as a division point on its California lines. The terms of conveyance make it impossible for liquor ever to be sold on the townsite- The Santa Fe requires its men to keep away from the saloons, and with admirable consistency it proposes to make it easy for the men who live in Riverbank at least to observe the rule. N. t. R. COMMENT One of G. P. Graham's chief grievances lies in the fact that the Borden government gave to the world the awfuf details of the carnival of waste on the Transcontinental. Natural enough. The Laurier government was very strong on covering things up and keeping down lids. They never did like to have the light turned on, and, in view of what is now known, can you blame them? The Staunton-Gutelius Commisison found that the Transcona shops were far too big for the requirements of the Transcontinental. The vast- ness of these shops was illustrated in the Graham "defence." When the ex-Minister got into these shops in the course of his Marathon oration it was a couple pf hours before he was able, to find his way out again. Hon. George P. Graham made i profound impression when he argued that the G- T. P. would not have to pay rental on seven years' accumulated interest on the Transcontinental, but that the forty-one millions involved would have to be put up by the taxpayers of Canada. This was part of his "defence.'' VEL0fJfTTE8~~ ��������� high wind travelB from 80 to 45 miles an hour; a hurricane 80 to 100 miles an hour.
