Alberni Pioneer *i\ Volume 5. Port Alberni, B.C., Sept. 2, I9ll. No. 4 Conservatives Confident Throughout the Province A telegram, dated at Cumberland, Aug. 29th, from H. S. Clements, Conservative candidate in Comox-Atlin, to the Pioneer News, says: Meetings at Union Bay, Denman Island, Courtney, Cumberland and Comox wharf, overwhelmningly in our favor. Joint meeting with Duncan Ross in Cumberland last night easily three to one in our favour. Party organizations are fighting hard with every encouragement for victory. 'i Latest advices from the Kootenay electoral district are indicative that the socialists there have reconsidered their first announced intention to place in the field a party candidate, and that the contest in the district will therefore be run on straight established party lines, with A. S. Goodeve a certain winner by an increased majority. In Vancouver City the socialist candidate is still in the field in the person of Mr. Kingsley, but it is possible that he too may be withdrawn before the date of formal nomination, there being an apparent intention of the party in the Province not to take any particular part in the present contest, when representation would have to be general in order to possess any value in advertising socialist doctrines and policy. In Victoria a socialist candidate is offering wholly as a result of a clash with the police as to street meetings. At the present writing the battle- lines in British Columbia would therefore seem to be complete, the champions selected being as hereunder: Conservative. * t Liberal. Socialist. Cjmox-Atlin Clements P Ross ' ""*' - Nanaimo Shepherd Smith Victoria Barnard Templeman Brown Vancouver Stevens Senkler Kingsley NewWestm'st'r Taylor Oliver Yale-Cariboo Burrill Macdonald Kootunay Goodeve King: Reports from all along the line are of a nature distinctly encouraging to the Conservative leaders. In Vancouver the organization of the party's campaign work is spoken of as virtually perfect, and the prospects of Aid. Stevens' election bright. In Nanaimo the elimination of the socialistic split of the vote into three pieces, which on the occasion of the last general election greatly affected the result, makes it a foregone conclusion that Ralph Smith will be. on the 21st. inst., dismissed from the parliamentary representation of the district—an event the contemplation of which does not apparently occasion him any especial distriss, as it is loudly whispered that he enters the present contest with the distinct assurance of a waiting senatorship. The latest reports from Nanaimo are briefly to the effect that Mr. Shepherd's election is assured, not only through his own popularity as a candidate and a man, but also through the fact that the constituency has long since wholly lost faith in Mr. Smith. Having climbed to a seat in parliament as a free and independent champion of labor, it is felt as a grievance by the Nanaimo workers that as soon as he felt his parliamentary position secure he forthwith kicked them from under as no longer essential to the scheme of his ambitions, and became an open and unqualified professional party politician of the deepest dye. In Comox-Atlin Mr. Clements is stated to be winning votes daily, as the people get larger opportunities of becoming acquainted with the man during his extensive tour. In Prince Rupert, where there is probably the largest concentrated vote of the district, the Conservative candidate is known as an alert and enterprising citizen, and a public man of wide information and distinctive ability. Along the the railway line, too, it is the growing impression that Duncan Ross stands for the G. T. P. company rather than for the people of Comox-Atlin, and the history of that railway as an institution cradled and nursed by the Liberal government of Canada is to well known to exite any especial commendation or admiration. In New Westminster, John Oliver appears in his characteristically blunt manner to be making the best showing he can purely out of dogmatic partizan loyalty, neither with hope of success nor any sincere approval of the party platform, the distinctive plank in which he has in fact dismissed with a reluctant admission that he certainly could not see how Reciprocity could work any benefit for him as a Canadian farmer. In Yale-Cariboo, Dr. Macdonald of Vernon would seem to be another just- for-the-honor-of-running candidate. In Kootenay, Dr. J. H. King once again runs upon his qualification as a good fellow and the friend of almost everyone in his home town of Cranbrook. His record in the local legislature, in which he was for a short time a member and his party's whip, does not show him to be a public man of the calibre that Mr. Goodeve has disclosed during his Ottawa career; and the people of Kootenay quite realize the fact. His candidature, like that of Mr. Oliver and that of Macdonald, may be regarded as perfunctory and purely to avert the necessary harmful effect on the party chances were Kootenay, New Westminster and Yale-Cariboo to have been conceded at the outset as useless, by the non-presentation of Liberal representation, however nominal, in the fight.

Watson, Alberni, Agent The Alberni board of trade will hold a public meeting in the Court House next Tuesday night commencing at 8 o'clock when the question of incorporating the town will be discussed. There is a strong feeling in favor of the movement and a large turn-out of cit- zens is expected. On account of this meeting the regular monthly meeting of the Board which was to be held on Monday night has been cancelled. Railway Ballasting. H. E. Beasley, superintendent; R. A. Bainbridge, division engineer; and William Newman, road inspector, of the E. & N. railway, Were in Port Alberni on Wednesday. Mr. Beasley remarked that ballasting work was proceeding satisfactorily and was finished as far as summit. No time would be lost in getting the whole line into shape for official inspection, and as soon as it was accepted a train service between Victoria and Port Alberni would be inaugurated. Thanks For Insurance. Mrs. McFarlane, of Alberni, wishes to publicly acknowledge with thanks the prompt receipt of $1,500 amount of insurance held on her residence which was destroyed by fire on Sunday, July 30. The policy was held in the Queen Insurance company represented by Jas. R. Motion of Alberni, and the full amount of claim was paid within two weeks after the fire occured. Tennis. The Alberni Tennis tournament has been going on all week, and the different events have reached the semi-final stage today. The finals will be played on Monday (Labor Day), when the ladies of the club will serve tea, and all members of both clubs and their friends are cordially invited. Football. A meeting of the Port Alberni Football club will be held in the permanent exhibit building next Tuesday night at 8 o'clock. All interested are requested to attend. v B. H. Smith, collector of customs at Nanaimo, was in town yesterday effecting the transfer of the Port Alberni customs house from A. E. Waterhouse to E. Burdett Garrard. C. A. Worsfold, of New Westminster, Dominion public works engineer, was in town this week in connection with the dredging operations at the mouth of the Somass river. The dredge is now well up into the mouth of the stream and is making satisfactory progress with its work. Reciprocity Argument From the Liberal Side The attention of operators of gasolene launches and other small craft is called to the fact that the dredge has wires across the Somass river in places. These places are marked by lights at night. Excavation work is in progress for an enlarged garage beneath the Water- house hall.

HARRY'S POOL ROOM By R. F. Blandy. The present trade agreement between Canada and the United States, under which each country agrees to lower its tariff on natural products, should prove of tremendous commercial value to Canada. The agreement will open to Canada the great market of the United States, while the markets of Britain and of other countries will still remain as wide open as formerly to Canadian products. New trade will be created along new lines, while existing trade on older lines will continue to expand. Both exports and imports will be affected, but the former will doubtless be influenced to the greatest extent. The three great classes of products affected by reciprocity are those of the farm, the forest and the fisheries. No country in the world, not even the United States, holds a more enviable position than Canada in regard to those products, and there is no auestion that in the bulk of the trade arising out of the reciprocity agreement Canada will be the seller and the United States the purchaser. Both parties to the present political controversy hold this view, as even the opponents of reciprocity base their annexation argument to a great extent upon the effects of the lucrative trade which reciprocity would bring to Canada. Dealing first of all with farm produce it should be emphasized that the primary reason for the adoption of reciprocity by the United States was the urgent need for securing cheaper food for the inhabitants of that country. Mr. Clements maintained the same view in his account of the Payne tariff, the action of the republican insurgents, and the victory of the democrats—the "cheaper food" party—at the last United States elections. This action of the two great American parties bears out the contention that the prices of agricultural and animal produce are as a whole higher in the United States than in Canada. Official statistics prove the contention absolutely. Of course in certain cases, and in particular dis tricts, Canadian prices may be higher than American, but as a general proposition the Canadian farmer stands to gain considerably through selling some of his products to the United States. Space forbids an elaboration of this phase of the question, but ample evidence is forthcoming that the Canadian farmer, of all people, will be the great gainer through rsciprocity. Turning to the lumber business--a matter of immense importance locally and to the whole of British Columbia- there is little question as to the benefits of Reciprocity. With the Americans reducing their duties by $1.25 a thousand and bringing them to such a level that Canadian lumber can compete freely with American lumber in the United States market, the growth of the lumber industry should be tremendous. Further, since Canada makes no change in her lumber duties under the reciprocity agreement, there can be no increased competition in the Canadian market as a result of reciprocity. The wider opportunities for the sale of lumber will accelerate the building of large export sawmills, especially on the British Columbian coast. Port Alberni, which depends so largely on the immediate development of the sawmill industry, has everything to gain and nothing to lose through the acceptance of the reciprocity agreement. The millmen of the State of Washington are threatening to move their mills to British Columbia as soon as reciprocity is adopted, because of the cheaper cost of production in Canada. This is another argument in favor of reciprocity, and should dispose effectively of the feeble and baseless assertion that "British Columbia cannot compete on equal terms with Washington in lumber production." The United States is the great market for B. C. lumber, though the prairie provinces also buy extensively. Incidentally it may be mentioned that reciprocity is tremendously popular among the prairie wheat farmers, who expect it will cause a large increase in their prosperity. With greater wealth and more rapid development on the prairies the demand for B. C. lumber will also grow as an indirect result of reciprocity. But it is urged that we should "reserve our timber for Canadians," and that "the Americans will despoil our forests." As for the first contention, Canada has so much timber, and the population of the country is so small by comparison, that the exclusively Canadian demand is insufficient to keep our existing mills in operation. If such a policy were adopted the -lumber industry would stagnate, and the present population of Port Alberni would all be dead before it would pay to build large sawmills in the town. As for the "despoiling" of our forests, the American purchasers will at least pay full value for the lumber they take, and if the forests are denuded the fault will lie solely with the Provincial governments of Canada, which have full power to regulate the cutting of timber. Thanks, to our forestry associations, the Conservation Commission, and other educative sources, we know now that with re-afforestation and careful forestry systems, like those of France and Germany, a large cut may be taken annually from the forests, and yet they will remain a perenial source of wealth. Quite apart from the question of Reciprocity, the Provincial Governments should make proper forestry regulations, and should adopt the principle that the total annual cut should not exceed the total annual growth of the forests. But the British Columbian cut, at any rate, has not yet reached that stage, and there can be no possible objection to selling our annual "crop" of timber to the Americans or to anybody else. Other commercial advantages of Reciprocity, its effect on Canadian fisheries, and on the cost of living in British Columbia, together with other economic aspects of the question, will be dealt with in a later article. SOME PERTINENT FIGURES. The value of trade between Canada and the United Kingdom and between Canada and the United states has an interesting bearing on the Reciprocity discussion. The total figures in round numbers, for the past fourteen years are:— Trade with the United Kingdom. Exports $1,497,000,000 Imports 809.000,000 Total Trade 2,306,000,000 Trade with the United States. Exports $ 945,000,000 Imports 1,878,000,000 Total Trade 2,823,000,000 Three facts stand out clearly from these figures. 1. Our total trade with the United States exceeds that with the motherland. 2. While the mother-country is our best export market, the United States is a good second. 3. The United States sell to Canada twice as much as they buy in return, making a heavy "balance of trade" against Canada. We see therefore that the bugbear of the opponents of Reciprocity, "intimate trade relations with the United States" exists even to-day, and yet Canada has not been "annexed" by the United States. Further, the United States is a ver,v valuable market for our exports, and while we should neglect no opportunity to increase our exports to the motherland, we should also foster our exports to the United States. Reciprocity, by reducing the tariff barrier against farm produce, lumber, and fish—the very articles we offer for sale in the markets of the world,—will increase our exports to the United States and help to wipe out that heavy balance against us in our ledger account with Uncle Sam.

C, Sept. 2, 1911. Herbert S. Clements. ed by the constitution was due, and this act deprived the Province of at least five additional members, and Western Canada of twenty-five or thirty, according to government estimates of proportion. ' A circular which is being distributed by Conservative workers among the electors of Comox-Atlin, contains the following plain and satisfactory information about Herbert S. Clements and his candidature in this constituency: Represented West Kent in the House of Commons four years, and has declined re-nomination there for this election, on the ground that he has become a resident of British Columbia, and that all his interests are in this Province. Mr. Clements received unanimous nomination at a large and representa** tive convention held at Nanaimo, August 16, 1911. Mr. Clements believes that the natural resources of Canada should be utilized for the benefit of the Canadian people. So far as possible, the raw products should be manufactured at home by Canadian labor, thus establishing and maintaining Canadian industries, inviting the investment of outside capital, providing employment for the highest paid class of mechanics, and furnishing a home market for the food products of our farms and fisheries. Every advantage given to Canada by the reciprocity treaty would have been obtained without concession on our part, for the party now in control in the United States is strongly pledged to a reduction of the tariff, especially on natural products and food stuffs. Mr. Clements advocates the further development of inter-provincial trade, believing that the Prairies, with their immense future population, will be the best market for British Columbia products, and that the Prairie trade should naturally flow into and through British Columbia. The British Empire is the natural market for our surplus production, and. Mr. Clements is in favor of reciprocity within the Empire. Mr. Clements endorses the policy of the British Columbia government with regard to Asiatic labor, and strongly deprecates the Dominion government's attitude. This must be a white man's country. Mr. Clements believes that a permanent non-partisan commission should be appointed to supervise the tariff, and recommend such changes as may be found necessary in changing conditions. Mr. Clements demands the improvement of the mail service throughout the constituency. This service is now entirely inadequate and behind the times. Important communities, which should have a daily mail, have only a weekly, or semi-weekly service, and many settlements are practically without postal accommodation. The subsidized steamship services to coast points should be improved, adding to the calling places, and giving more frequent service with better ships and lower rates. •The conservative platform demands more federal assistance to agriculture. Government experimental farms ought to be established at points where instruction is needed to test the soil and climate for the various crops. The establishment of trunk railway lines should be followed by the construction of branches into districts where farm lands, and other natural resources, await development. The Government is spending millions in subsidizing, or purchasing, local and branch lines in the East. Similar expenditure would open up vast areas of valuable land in the valleys of this Province. The approaching completion of the Panama Canal, and the development of trans-Pacific trade, call for the establishment of docks, terminal elevators and other equipment, in the northern part of the Province. Mr. Clements will advocate immediate and extensive preparation at northern ports for this traffic. The cold storage platform of the Conservative party demands the establishment of public plants for the protection of perishable goods in warehouses, and during transportation by sea and land. Mr. Clements believes that this programme is of special value to the fishermen and fruit growers of the coast, and he will strongly promote it in their interests. Mr. Clements supports the Provincial demand for fairer financial terms from the Dominion. The proposition made by Mr. McBride was reasonable, and Mr. Borden's proposition that the question be submitted to arbitration, should not have been rejected by the Laurier government. A great injustice has been done to this Province, and all Western Canada, by the premature dissolution of the House, when the readjustment „provid- Whether Duncan Ross, the Liberal cadidate in Comox-Atlin wanted to say, or didn't want to say, or shouldn't have said, here are a few of the things he did say: The tariff has been gradually modified by the Liberal government since it came into power in 1896. The cost of living has increased until it has become a serious question. Reciprocity will lower the cost of living. Reciprocity statisticians and logicians might strengthen their arguments by qupting facts and figures to prove that the cheap American food stuffs they think this country is so hungry for have made it possible for restaurant keepers in Seattle, Tacoma and Portland to sell three-course meals for ten and fifteen cents. . The reason American fire-works were not included in the free list is that the people of the United States have nothing cheaper to offer than the brand the Reciprocity advocates are now giving us. Some Liberals are so anxious to get at the cheaper food stuffs of the United States that they will have to be restrained from overeating themselves if the Reciprocity pact is consummated.
