The present lead bounty expiring June, 1913 and Its continuance In some form, "2. The present low duties on lead and zinc products and the adoption of adequate protection. "3. The absence of facilities for treating successfully zinc ores and he continuance of the experimental work adopted by the late government upon their grant of ¥50,000 and the granting of further sums for Buch work and that Buch commission bring down thoir recommendationb to the government with tho least possible delay."

The resolution follows: "Whereas, the fruit Industry In the" . fruit growing districts or the Dominion of Canada as compared with the same industry In tbe United States la heavily handicapped; and whereas, such Industry shows every evidence of becoming one of the- most Important In certain parts of the Dominion; and whereas, such lndnstry is placed in an unfair position on account of the difference between export and Import duty; "Resolved that it la the' opinion of this convention that the import duty on American fruit, should be brought up to the level of the duty now charged on fruit entering the United States; and further that the present rate of duty on imported goods be strictly enforced." Would Stop Asiatic Immigration The resolution asking that the Dominion government take steps to reduce Asiatic immigration was amended to read "eliminate Asiatic immigration' on the recommendation of Mr. R'ake- more of Victoria.

YUAN SHI KAI WITHOUT CABINET Only Minor Officials Rally to Support of Chinese Premier—Nanking Under Fire x'EKIN, Nov. 26—Premier Yuan Shi Kai Is practically without a cabinet, only the presidents of the minor boards having accepted offfices. The finance board is without a minister and the vice-minister left Pekin today after Informing a personal friend that he did not intend to return. The military ac- tivity^on.the part of Yuan Shi Kai is considered a forlorn hope. The diplomatic body, through the dean of the corps, Sir John Jordan, lias represented to the premier the necessity for avoiding disorders in Pekin. The latest consular reports from Nanking say the rebels have suffered enormous losses but they they pressed irresistibly forward and finally routed the Imperialists who fled Into the city for shelter. The Nanking batteries then opened. a deafening cannonade which was still going on when the dispatches left.

LONDON, Nov. 27.—(2 a. m.)—The Irish Nationalists are playing a waiting game In the autumn session of parliament. The usually turbulent little band, which sits below the gangway ln the house of commons., has kept itself in hand so far, although they are deeply interested in the Insurance bill, which Is occupying all the time of the house. Even the alleged atrocities' of the Italian troops In Tripoli, a; Bubject which generally fills John Redmond with a desire to find out what the foreign secretary knows ajbout it and what the govern- ment Intends to do, has not aroused the Nationalist benches. They are quietly waiting for 1912. "Ireland's year," as they call it. While the rankers of the party are doing missionary work in the lobby, lhe leader, John Redmond, is busy explaining home rule to the people of England. The Nationalists say that when the English really know viiat Ireland demands, opposition to home rule will fade away. The Unionists say that Mr, Redmond's friendly reception is accounted for. by the fact that he preaches a very different story in England from that which he and his followers urge in America and Ireland. In England they say the Nationalist policy is painted as a simple self-government, with no idea of separation from England, while in America and Ireland it is home rule with absolute independence. GOVERNMENT WANTS NEW MINING ENGINEER OTTAWA, Nov. 26—Roy F. Hammer is the successful competitor for the position of assistant to the live stock com mlssioner of the department of agriculture.

TO DRIVE ARABS OUT OF OASIS Italian Army Commences New Movement at Tripoli—New Front Will be Long TRIPOLI, Nov. 26—An important move is now in progress with the object of driving the Arabs out of the oasis and extending the Italian front. It began at daybreak. The action opened with an attack on Fort Mesrie by the sixth brigade from Bomellnna on the west front. After several hours fighting the Italians succeeded in dislodging the Arabs and Gen, Frugonls, commander of the Italian forces, ordered the third division on the front to advance towards Hennl. Part of the sixth brigade joined the men of the third tatting up a position so as to protect the division harassed by the Arabs. At the time of filing this message the Italians on the extreme right were engaged against the Turkish regulars. The new front If the movement is successful will extend from Mesrie lo Hennl. As soon as the Italians are reestablished reinforcements will be hurried to the position strongly entrenched by the engineers, ( , HOUSE HAS MANY GOOD DEBATERS New Conservative Members Make Good Impression—uebate on Speech to End Tomorrow OTTAWA, Nov. 26—The debate on the address on the speech from the throne, it is said, will be brought to a conclusion on Tuesday evening when a division will be reached On Sir Wilfrid Laurier's amendments. There are still a considerable number of speakers who desire to be heard, but It is believed that they will all be able to have their turn between 3 o'clock Monday afternoon and midnight on Tuesday. While Sir Wilfrid Laurler Is keeping his own counsel as to what he proposes to do next, In the way of bringing up matters for discussion, it Is not expected that there will be any more amendments to discuss. The debate of last week has made It absolutely clear that the present house of commons is strong in speakers of more than ordinary ability. The lar:;e number of new Conservative members include many who can think clearly on their feet and In speaking hold the attention of even the old parliamentarians. While the Liberals lost many o! their finest talent as a result of the voting on Sept. 21, many of the parliamentarians still remain and the new- members include some who promise to make their mark in the house. That the new parliament is above the average In the calibre of its membership seems to be the general verdict as the result of the firBt week of the session.

It is not a matter of wonder that we non- Romans should misunderstand him, as he complains we do when we have such competing statements put forth, Hia grace says: 'The ne temere has been in force since Easter, 1908 and that in every country in the world.' May I draw his attention to the fact that it has never been tn force in Germany. "His grace further says: 'This is i.o new thing in the world, since It was dealt with at the Council of Trent In 1663.' We did not object to tt as long as It was lying dormant In the pages of history nor did we trouble ourselves when the decree was promulgated In Canada so long as it did n ot come into operation. Great Britain and the United States do not trouble themselves' about the decree, because they know that the civil law amply protects them. When, however, an ecclesiastical court annuls a marriage and our civil court sustains its decision, it then becomes a practical matter which deeply concerns every citizen of the Dominion. Some Countries Exempt His grace saysl .-'Rarticularly the ne temere is no new thing for use In the province of Quebec where the decre- taraetsi of the Council of Trent has been ln force since the first days of the colony. According to this latter decree as according to the ne temere, any marriage to be valid must be celebrated before the cure.' This ls extraordinary ln view of the statement made in nls grace's speech in the year 1909 in which he said: 'By virtue ofythe constitutions of the sovereign pontiff there are countries and tiie provinces of Quebec ia one of the number, where in spite nf the promulgation of the Council of Trent, we are to consider as valid mtr- riageB celebrated clandestinely between two parties, one being a Catholic and bhe other a baptized non-Catholic or vice versa celebrated before a Protei ant minister although gravely illicit and calling down the censures of the church is, however, a marriage, contracted in a valid manner even In the eyes of (':■■ church itself. Once consummated this marriage cannot be broken by any earthly power, death along renderinp liberty to the party surviving.' "Then hiB grace said that mixed marriages before a Protestant minister were, even in the eyes of the church, valid. Now he says they are not valid Surely when a decree declares a Protestant's marriage null and void and disturbs the peace and happiness of his home, It does Interfere with him. The archbishop says thut the Roman church right to so administer the marriage law is secured by treaty and constitution. Certainly the treaty of Paris which gives to his church the -ree exercise of its worship «s far as the laws of Great Britain permit, does no give such rights. The Quebec act gave the free exercise of religion to his church Bubject to the judges' supremacy, declared and established by an act mude in the first year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, over all the dominions and countries which did then or hereafter should beloug to the imperial crown of this realm. This act does not give them any such right. Herbert Case This present agitation has arisen chiefly through the action of the arch- biBhop in annulling the Herbert marriage which our courts bave not, happily, now sustained. To permit a woman who has been faithful to her marriage vows to be cast off with her innocent child because she was married by a Protestant minister, properly authorized by the state to perform marriages, is much worse than divorce which can in Canada only be granted for the cause > NOVEMBER 27, 1911. • i Coupon No. 1. • i This coupon, with one from t > each of the other Issues of The • i Daily News of the week ending • t Dec. 2, and 10 cents entitles • i the holder to a photogravure • i reproduction of the .great, his- • i torlcal picture "Founder^ of the • ) Dominion."

World Wide Interest in Grey's Statement Today ANGERED AT JOKE, SHOOTS FRIEND IN FACE HALIFAX, N. S., Nov, 20.—Samuel Jollymore shot William J.

Many at the coast believe that the cause of humanity demands that the Hindus be allowed to have their domestic partners in thoir homes In the west, but the strong feeling at the coast against alien labor and people ia bitterly opposed to this and tbe point is a fine one for the government to decide. The delegates Include Rajah Singh, Tegll Singh, and Sunder Singh. R. Wahlls Is in charge. They will see Premier Borden on Monday. The present immigration laws provide that Hindus cannot come to Canada unless they come directly from India. The delegation will ask that this be changed, .because there Is no direct steamship service between India and Canada, WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN ON STRANDED LiNEH KINGSTON, Jamaica, Nov. 26—The passengers of the stranded steamer Prince Joachim were landed at Port Antonio today by the Ward liner Vigil- ancia to whtoh ship Uiey were transferred from the steamer Segurancla, 20 mileB from Nassau.' The,passengers report that the Prince Joachim Is lying easy off Atwood bay and that attempts are being made to salvage her. W. J. Bryan Is among the passengers and Is proceeding to Panama. Announcement Expected to Be Pacific in Tone—German Feeling Bitter LONDON, Nov. 26.—It Is many years since such world-wide interest centered in the speech of a British foreign minister as upon Sir Edward Grey's utterance tomorrow afternoon, upon which the peace of Europe is believed to hinge. Opinions in the best informed quarters are hopeful that the dabate will open an era of better understating between Germany and Great Britain. No blue book of the dispatches relating to the Morocco affair has been published and whether the British foreign secretary is able to throw a great deal of new light on the subject is not known. It Is expected, however, that he will deliver a peaceful and friendly speech dealing more with the future than the' past. The leader of the opposition, Andrew Bonar Law, will follow Sir Edward, and, it is said, will give reasonable support to the government's foreign policy. ■ Lies Direct to England. BERLIN, Nov. 26.-—Sir Edward Grey's promised statement next Monday in the English house of commons regarding the Anglo-German communications relative to Morocco, Is awaited in Berlin with keen interest. Tho explanations which Foreign Secretary Von Kederlien-Waechter made in a secret Bession of the reichstag are regarded here as giving the lie direct to what has been taken as the British version of the facts as gathered from articles printed In the London press and information ..obtained by German correspondents In London. Did Grey Blunder? The English claim that Downln. street was not adequately informed of the German intentions in dispatching the Panther to Agadir and that when the German foreign office was asked for mere definite information no reply was vouchsafed for 14 days, anil eventually only after Chancellor Lloyd- George's speech at the Mansion house. The German response to this is that Great Britain received an explicit explanation us to the purrose and scope of the dispatch of the German warship to Agadir prior to the arrival of the Panther at lhat port, and that further, Count Von Metternlch, the German ambassador to London, furnished, In an interview with Sir Edward Grey, such additional particulars as ought to have satisfied the British foreign minister in connection with the discussion, which directly concerned only Germany and Prance. From an authoritative source the explanation is gathered that in German official quarters it is considered Sir Edward Grey will be found to have made a serloU3 diplomatic blunder, and to have been waiting for the German answer to tho note which was not drawn as a question and which in any case had been fully nnd satisfactorily answered in advance by German communications to all the great powers respecting the Panther at Agadir. In the peculiar position of Anglo- German relations at present prevailing the feeling against England is now very high, more so than at any other recent period. Germans in all sections of the country are giving evidence that England In the Morocco affair acted the part of an agent of provo- cnture. It would be difficult to exaggerate the bitterness of feeling England engendered. BESS LIS C, A. Magrath Speaks Before Toronto Canadian Club CO-OPERATION IN EMPIRE DEFENCE THROAT TROUBLE AFFLICTS KAISER Hon, W. T, White Says Canada's Climate Weeds Out Unfit TORONTO, Nov. 26—"Imperialism," announced C. A. Magrath in addressing the Canadian club Saturday afternoon, "to me has become a religion." He continued amid applause: "I wm't waste time In discussing fine distinctions or the term." Mr. Magrath divided Canadians, all of whom he assumed were imperialists of some sort, into two main sections. One section of the people pressed for the development of a strong unit of the empire trusting to the trend of sentiment to hold the various parts together. "That's a good ddea," remarked the Bpeaker, "but we are not yet near the mlllenlum." The other line of thought to which he gave his cordial adherence was some kind of business co-operation between the different overseas dominions each part of which retain perfect autonomy over its own tariff and governmen*. The Canadian confederation was an illustration of a union, cemented by both business and sentiment. Pleads for Better Immigrants "How long," he asked, "would mere sentiment hold the Canadian provinces together? Ask any western man. Similarly, in uniting the separated parts of the empire, when the bulk of the immigrants are bound to be of other races it is not wise to count too strongly on the love of "stepsons." A forceful appeal was made for greater care in the selection of new comers to Canadu. "The richer our country the greater our attraction to all classes of people. An influx of undesirable immigrants forces the standard of citizenship down and automatically raises our responsibilities and financial obligations. Tbe very best men should be selected to man the gateways to our land. Through these sieves are poured thousands of people every day. Canada is a mortar and pestle. We need to work these cosmopolitan elements to- i gether into British ideals," said Mr. My- grath The collapse of the empire he deemed to be the greatest disastor which the history of the world could afford "Should Canada become an indepcii' dont nation we could not remain a separate nation," he contended "At the rate we are receiving thousands of American Immigrants our destiny is either to remain a part of the British family through all ages or else to become flb sorbed by the United States" In conclusion he made a jocular remark in allusion to the recent elections when be suffered defeat, bearing the Consersvatlve banner in Alberta against reciprocity "I think it bad to serve an economic issue with sentimental sauce," he laughed "At least such has been my experience Plea for Imperial Parliament The speaker made a strong [ilea for Canada to assume her rightful share of the defence of the empire. An Imperial parliament would not limit her autonomy but would lead to a wlso co-operation for common defence He also urged more frequent imperial conferences Hon. W. T. White, on behalf of tbe members of the club, tendered thanks to the speaker of the day. Canada's absorptive power was almost unlimited and of all her diversified resources he thought the best was her cold climate which weeded out the less desirable races and individuals coming to the American continent. He, too, predicted an imperial parliament and thought that the younger ones present woifld yet see Canada the central part of the liritlsh empire. Indisposition of Emperor Causes Serious Anxiety Throughout Germany Family History Remembered. BERLIN, Nov. 26.—Much anxiety was caused during the week throughout Germany by the news that the kaiser had been obliged to postpone engagements for the present, becnuse of Indisposition. A simple cold wns given as the reason, but those who have Btudled the history of the Hohenzol- lerns say any nilment of the throat causes serious anxiety ln the family. ASK RAILWAY CHARTER FROM VERNON TO PENTICTON OTTAWA, Ont, Nov. 2G.—Tho C. P.

NOVEMBER 27 TORONTO VARSITY WIN CHAMPIONSHIP --rgos Lose in Final Contest by Score of Fourteen to Seven—Specacu- lar Play TORONTO, Nov. 26—The University of Toronto, champions of the intercollegiate, won the championship of Canada for the third year in succession by defeating the Argos of Toronto, inter- prov.ncial champions and conquerors of the Hamilton Alerts, O.R.F.U. champions, by a score of 14-7 yesterday after a splendidly contested game in whicn the defeated team put up a most stubborn defence and only went down io defeat before a team that outclassed them in little. The Argo halves on the whole caught better than their opponents but the few fumbles that they did make were very coBtly to the team Both Mallette and Greene kicked too far for their wings, so In the latter stages of the game Maynard did some of the booting for his team, Ramsay was unfortunate enough to have bis left eye cut open early in the game, but continued to play and bore -he brunt of the aggressive work of the eol- legiates. Campbell and Maynard pulled off some very spectacular runs and Varsity forwards uid some magnificent tackling, not sparing themselves a particle on the frozen ground. The Argo outsides also acquitted themselves splendidly in this respect and the big men in the centre got their men higli but solidly. The Argos had their fair share of the play throughout and in the final quarter forced the attack for the greater part of the period. It was doubtful judgment on the part of Capt. Binkley in dropping a goal from the field in this period, with bis 10 points behind, as it gave Varsity the chance of taking the play out of their own territory when the oarsmen had them on the defensive, the hall being taken back to centre for the kickoff. The Argos had an advantage in one respect inasmuch as they gained their yards often- er than their opponents In line bucking but all attempts at the end runs oy the oarsmen were smothered by the collegians. Dr. Lawson was a marked man and as a consequence was unable to shine in the spectacular fashion that is his wont. , The Varsity wings were on top of Lawson before he could get started and they gave him little or no chance to distinguish himself. Both teams displayed good sportsmanship and not a player on either side was penalized. There was only one change during the game, Sinclair of the Argos being forced to retire from a wrenched back just after the second half bad commenced. Never before has such care been taken in the preparation and care of a Playing field and spectators who arrived early say the unique spectacle of a steam roller gliding over the frozon turf, while wagon loads of water and washed sand were spread over -he rolled surface to enable the players of both teams to get the best footing possible under the circumstances. Nearly every football man of note in the country was present and a list of those In attendance would include all the celebrities. Varsity scored the final point of the game with less than a minute to play. Binkley being forced to rouge Maynards' punt, making the final score 14-7 in favor of the blue and white.

NAVY BEATS ARMY PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 20—The navy football team defeated the army on Franklin field yesterday by the score of 3-0, a well played goal from placement by Capt. Dalton of the Annapolis team from the thirty yard line being tbe only score made In the great annual contest between these two elevens. The game was characterized by much kicking, the captain of each team electing to kick without taking uny chances at straight line buskiug. Neither goal was seriously menaced at any time during the contest. YALE AND HARVARD GAME SCORELESS Greatest American football Battle of Year Result* In Tie—-Opportunities Neglected CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 26—Once yesterday afternoon opportunity happened to be at the dor of Yale hut stepped aside to avoid a poor snap from centre on a try from what seemed a certain goal, once it made a loud ta- to at the Harvard portals and then dodged back before a forward pass. Whereupon opportunity came no more In the game and the annual battle between Yale and Harvard ended ln a scoreless tie. nothing could be fairer than nothing to nothing. When it waB all over and 40,000 people were trying to walk otr the field on their 80,000 frosted feet, It was unanimously agreed tbat it might. have been much worBe. The score represents the strength of the two elevens. It tells nothing of the slipshod, snat- tering game they played at times. It is mute on the subject of chances frittered away, of fumbles and failures of one kind and another, but it does indicate that at least there was a rough tussel and therein It BpenkB trthfully. It cannot be said that either sMe had much advantage. At, different stages of the game one would excel in one department and the other In another, but all in all the 0-0 score is a god line on their respective strength. The game is another prof of the fact that no matter how they have each shown against their other rivals during the season, when Yale and Harvard meet it is the one big battle of the year. Y. M. C. A.

If the noise of boyish conversation and laughter be and criterion of honest enjoyment, the members of the "Get One" club evidently had a pretty sood Mme in their newly furnished quarters at the Y. M. C. A. on Saturday evening. The occasion was a social gathering to celebrate the work of the boyB In getting new members for the Y. M, C. A. during the past week, and N. H. Johnson, secretary, announced that 11 boys had been added to the roll, with a number of other prospective members, and stated that the work of the boys In this connection was much appreciated and -that they had done very well. The evening was spent very pleasantly. J. H. Allen contributed two humorous recitations which were much appreciated, and S. J. Booth recounted a harrowing experience of his eastern life which included a fight with policemen, and incarceration In a police cell —'but it turned out he was only relating a somewhat vivid dream after a late supper. W. G. Thomson provided a gramaphone machine with suitable records for tbe musical items, and G. S. Rees gave a short travel talk on his experiences In Japan. After much fun In playing of games under the direction of James Thompson, the program concluded w.ith refreshments. The boys' room will be open on Tuesday and Friday afternoon of each week from now on for their special use as well as on Wednesday and Saturday evenings, and special programs will be given from time to time.

Branch Offices The Imperial Canadian Trust Company Was Incorporated Under the Laws of Manitoba by Special Act cf Legislature Assented to March 24th, 1919, With a Capitalization of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) Divided Into Ten Thousand Shares of $100.00 Each, With Power to Increase the Capital to Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), for the purpose of Carrying on a Trust and Agency Business In All Its Brancei, as Clearly Set Forth In the Company's Special Act of Incorporation, and as Hereinafter Dealt With In This Prospectus. The Head Office of the Company Is In the City of Winnipeg, and, in addition to this, branch offices and agencies 111 be opened up throughout the Dominion. As a very active business will be carried on in Western Canada, special attention will be given towards effecting- a thorough organization in the Western Provinces. The Comany proposes to open an office In London, England, and to appoint a London board of directors with a view to facilitating Its operations and establishing valuable financial connections in Great Britain. Accordingly, the Company will be able to get Into close touch with British investors and be in a position to readily furnish Its Old Country clients with direct information concerning thi Company and, generally speaking, the establishing of a London office and the appointing of a London board comprising representative business men, will prove not only of inestimable value to the Company, hut will, be a source of practical benefit and convenience to the Company's clients throughout Grea* Britain. It la the intention of the directors to at once offer for public subscription In Canada One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)' of Ordinary Stock, and, a little later on, having regard to tha business requirements of the Company, the directors will make an issue in Great Britain of four hundred thousand dollars of Ordinary Stock and One million six hundred thousand dollors of Its 5 per cent Cumulative Preferred Stock upen the sanction by the shareholders of a by-law to that effect. The funds so obtained through the sale of the Preferred Stock will be Invested ln Western Canada, to yield a handsome margin of profit, and, as the Ordinary Stock will participate ln these profits In addition to tbe profits accruing from the general business of tbe Company, It should prove to be a most satisfactory and profitable Investment. The Cumulative Preferred Stook will undoubtedly appeal strongly "to the feriti'sh public who desire'to secure an Invest-" ment which affords a definite rate of interest combined with absolute security. The first allotment of Ordinary Stock is 'being issued at 1115.00 per share, being at a premium of 15 per cent. Already $300,000 of Stock Has Been Subscribed by tbe directors and their friends, and, from the present very active demand and inquiries for the stock, indications clearly point to a prompt subscription of the entire allotment. The terms of subscription are:— i On application, $25.00 per share, which shall include the premium of $15.00 per share, and the balance owing on the shares, payable in ten consecutive half-yearly instalments of $9.00 per share; the first of such half-yearly instalments to become due and payable sis months from date of allotment of shares. Shares may be paid for In full on application or, as a matter of convenience to the subscriber, they may be purchased in accordance with tho terms of payment as set forth in the next proceeding paragraph. The investor of moderate means as well as the capitalist will, therefore, -be enabled to secure with but little financial effort, a handsome number of shares. If so desired, the subscriber may pay any or all of the instalments prior to due dates and thereby derive the full benefit of his investment. The following Table illustrates the first call as well as subsequent payment according to the number of shares sub scribed:— fcttti Amount of Half Yearly Flrat Call Paymenta I 25.00 * 9.00 126.00 «.00 260.00 90.00 376.00 136.00 600.00 180.00 5.00 5.00 No. of Shares Total Purchase Price 1115.00 675.00 1150.00 1725.00 2300.00 2875.00 Table showing total purchase price of the following number of shares at the price of $115.00 per share:- Amountof Half Yearly First Call Payments 1 750.00 1000.00 1260.00 2600.00 6000.00 7500.00 m'.w 900.00 1800.00 2700.00 No. of Shares Total Purchase Price M50.00 4600.00 5750.00 11500.00 2300.00 34600.00 It is worthy of special mention that no commissions have been paid for securing stool; subscriptions; ln fact, the only expense incurred in the promotion and organization of the Company has been in connection with securing the Company's charter and a few necessary expenses, including printing, postage, stationery, etc. No bonus stock whatever has been nor shall be issued to anyone. Even the directors who individually have large financial holdings in the Company and take a prominent and active interest in Its welfare have, without exception, paid the same price for their shares as is being offered to the general public, or, ln other words, not one dollar of Ordinary Stock haB been nor shall be issued for any purpose whatever at a price less than $115.00 per share. The income of The Imperial Canadian Trust Company will be derived from: (a) The investment of its Capital Stock, Debentures, De- posits, etc. The fees and commissions in connection with the administration of estates, the investment of trust moneys, the collecting of accounts, rents, dividends, Interest mortgages, etc., acting ns aslgnee, trustee, guardian, official administrator, etc., as well as agent for the owners of real estate; agent for the transaction of business, the management of and winding up of estates, acting as custodian of sinking funds, and also from rents derived from the safety deposit vaults, etc. The following figures, which are the latest obtainable, relative to a number of our Canadian Trust Companies, will prove of much interest, showing their subscribed and paid-up capital, reserve, as well as dividends paid, the net earnings on paid-up capital, the present per cent, value of their shares, and (b) BOARD OF DIRECTORS PRESIDENT.

The above figures are most significant, and clearly show that the volume of business controlled by each company is many times the amount of the paid-up capital, which has a most Important bearing on the earning power of the Company, and therefore enables it to pay very satisfactory dividends, as well as 'build up a large reserve, as Ib evidenced by the foregoing figures. As the profits are governed by the volume and character of the business transacted, it will be readily seen that, as the business grows year by year, the profits materially increase and, with a Fixed amount of capital stock, the Company is able to pay higher dividends and carry larger amounts to tho Reserve, resulting In a steady increase in the value of the stock. In promoting The Imperial Canadian Trust Company, the directors were confident that, with the rapid accumulation of wealth and tremendous business expansion throughout the country, influenced by a succession of bountiful crops and •rrent influx of settlers into the Dominion, tbe time was most opportune for organising a large and progressive trust company. The moral and hearty financial support already accorded the Company by leading business and professional men is indeed encouraging, and augurs well for the future success of the Company. In offering for subscription such a large amount of Capital Stock, which will be widely distributed not only in Canada, but abroad, the directors anticipate that, through the active cooperation of the shareholders, a very extensive and valuable , business connection will be established. This connection in itself will naturally result In a large amount of very desirable business, and when combined with the powerful interests already associated with the Company, it will be at once, apparent that The Imperial Canadian Trust Company is not only commencing business under most favorable auspices, but it will always have at its command a great volume of business at a minimum coBt to the Company. Accordingly, the Company should experience a very rapid as well as substantial growth, and, with the low cost of organization, the directors are confident that the Company will be able to pay very satisfactory dividends and at an early date. For this reason, the stock of The Imperial Canadian Trust Company should strongly appeal to all careful, conservative investors who are desirous of securing an absolutely safe and profitable Investment. As It Is confidently expected that the entire allotment will be promptly subscribed, the directors strongly recommend the investing public to make application for the stock with aa little delay as possible. During the last ten years the Dominion of Canada has enjoyed unprecedented prosperity and has made more rnpiri progress in wealth, population and business expansion than at any other time in Ub hlBtory, until today, the Dominion is ottractlng world-wide attention not only as a desirable country for settlers but as a safe and profitable field for investors. With the rapid growth of Western Canada, tho scope of the financial Institutions has become greatly enlarged, and, ns a result, we find that most of our large Canadian companies bave been obliged to materially increase their capital, owing to the 'demand Ffor money Incident to expansion of business, also that many new companies have been organized with a view to Improving the financial situation and assisting as far ns possible in the general development of the country. Western Canada, which was only a few years ago comparatively unknown to the outside world, and had not then demonstrated that these Western Provinces were capable of supporting millions of people, has now come to be recosinized as a great ogrlcultural country, admirably adopted for settlers , of moderate means, and as . a very desirable and profitable field for the Investment of capital. With the head office of the Company located in Winnipeg, and the majority ,of the directors being Western men, thoroughly conversant with Western conditions, it Ib only natural to , expect that while this company will operato in the various Provinces of the Dominion, yet the great volume of its business will be obtained In the four Western Provinces. With the enormous influx of settlers into Canada, which is increasing year by year, tbe Western Provinces will continue to advance with even greater atrides in the matter of railway extension, agricultural production, industrial and commercial enterprises than have hitherto been experienced ln this country. With such a promising future in store for this portion of the Dominion, the energetic development ln all lines of business will create a very aetlve demand for money, so that financial Institutions nay look forward, with a great degree of confidence, to many years of active and profitable business. It is worthy of note that the Imperial Canadian Trust Company is not only being organized at a most favorable and opportune time, but It will have at its command very extensive and/ valuable connections owing to the fact that tbe directors of this Company ara directors of and are financially interested in a number of other strong financial institutions, through which will be derived a large amount of very desirable business. It will, therefore, be evident that the cost of organization of this Company, including the placing of tbe Capital Stock, wilL be much lower than that of companies organized under less favorable conditions, and, fn view of the low cost of organization and the volume of business under Its Immediate control, this Company should be enabled to pay handsome dividends, at an earlier date than could otherwise be reasonably expected. The directorate of this Company is comprised of men of wide experience, well and favorably known in the financial and commercial world, .Each director has subscribed for at least One hundred shares of the Capital Stock, upon which ail calls have been paid, and, ln addition to this, every director takes an active interest in the welfare of the Company with a view to building up a strong and successful institution. Under these circumstances, ft will be at once apparent that the affairs of the Company will be conducted on safe and conservative lines. "*~~Every possible precaution will be taken in the investment of the Company's funds. Ot ly high-class securities will be considered such as first mortgages on improved real estate, stocks, bonds, and debentures of companies of unquestioned stability, also Dominion and Provincial securities, as well as Municipal, County and School securities, of well established districts. Absolute security, combined with a reasonable rate of interest, Is a most essential feature to be considered when making any financial Investment, anfd, in this connection The Imperial Canadian Trust Company should excel. The funds of the Company will be very largely invested in the security of first mortgages on improve!! productive real estate in Western Canada, where land values are steadily increasing and v,' ore the rates of interest obtainable are at least two per cent, higher than in the older settled portions of the Dominion. With its mortgage loans, the Company is doubly secured, Inasmuch as while the Company's fixed policy is never to mortgage property for more than 60 per cent, of Us conservative value, yet, with every mortgage, the interest, as well as a definate amount of principal, is re-payable yearly. Further REGINA, Sask., Williughby-Duncan Bldg., 1845 Scarth Street [ FORT WILLIAM, Ont., Cuthbertson Blk., 107 May Street, N. precaution is exercised, as all mortgage Topeities are covered by ample insurance, In thoroughly reliable companies. In respect to the funds which will be invested in stocks, and debentures, It might be well to mention that these securities are, generally speaking, readily negotiable and constitute a very desirable liquid asset. In view of the fact that a large portion of the Company's funds will be invested in first mortgages in Western Canada, it is highly important that the directors should be thoroughly conversant with Western conditions. A glance at the personnel of the board will be most re-assuring in this respect. Situated at the Gateway of the West, this Company, with Its representative board of directors, is destined to become one of our targets Canadian financial Institutions, and, with its Interests international as well as local, it will materially assist in attracting foreign capital Into the Dominion and thereby add to the general wealth, prosperity and development of our country. The business of a trust company has now come to be recognized as an absolute necessity in tbe business life of today, and what was formerly the common practtct to appoint personal trustees to administer trust estates and perform such other duties as might be assigned them, is now very largely superseded by appointing, for such purposes, a trust company, which has, through its directors of long business experience aB well as trained and trustworthy officials, a thorough organization, fully equiped with all the facilities so necessary for the prompt and efficent execution of the varid and complex obligations incident to the business Owing to the rapid accumulation of wealth and the great increase in population In the Dominion, the demand for the services of a trust company has grown to such an extent among the great masses or the people, that the trust companies are now regarder as almost indispensable in modern business. They now constitute a very important factor in our country as a safe, convenient and reliable means for looking after estates and sundry other business, which would Ibe practically impossible for the private individual, no matter how capable and willing, to manage, for, perhaps, a long term of years, in the same thorough and comprehensive manner. The general satisfaction to clients which has resulted i.'om their employment of trust companies to perform such duties as were formerly assigned to private individuals and the enviable record and financial standing of our Canadian trust companies, haye been instrumental in securing the entire confidence of the general public. As an evidence of tbe increasing popularity of these companies and the esteem in which they are held by investors as well as clients, we have but to 'refer to their very rapid and substantial growth during recent years, until they now rank among the strongest~"bf our financial institutions and exercise a great influence in the financial and commercial world. In the promotion of this large Canadian company, the directors have the utmost confidence that The Imperial Canadian Trust Company will, with characteristic Western energy and enterprise, soon come to be recognized as one of our strongest and most progressive financial Institutions, anid, as this Company, through its valuable connections abroad, will be instrumental in bringing a considerable amount of capital into the Dominion for the purposes of investment, and will undoubtedly be a valuotble acquisition to our Canadian monetary institutions, the Directors naturally anticipate that these facts will be fully appreciated by the Canadian people and that the Company will, accordingly, receive the moral and hearty financial support of all citizens who take a pride in building up our financial institutions and who are interested in tbe welfare and general development of our country. As this Is the first issue of the Company's stock and, therefore, the iowest price at which It will ever be available through bublic subsscripiion, the directors strongly recommend the investment to the public, for their immediate and careful consideration. Subscribers nre requested to kindly fill out the attached application form, stating name in full, number of shares desired, occupation and address and mail the application along with the first call of Twenty-five Dollars ($25,00), per share en the stock, direct to the Head Office of the Company, Winnipeg, Manitoba; or, if so desired, application for the stock may be made at any of the Comnanv's Branch Offices or at any Branch of The Canadian Bank of Commerce, where application blanks ani any additional information wi!l be readily furnished. .Applications for stock will be considered in the order received, and on approval of the same by the Board of Directors, a Certificate of Stock for the number of shares subscribed for and allotted will be issued and mailed the shareholder forthwith.

For British Columbia, possessing, au it does, the western littoral of half a continent, and containing all the great Pacific ports of the Dominion, it is inevitable that the opening, of the Panama canal Should be a momentous event and should mark the beginning of a new epoch in its history.' With the readjustment of trade routes that will be necessitated by the piercing of the neck of land between North and South America, and the consequent opening of another comparitively short and inexpensive ocean route between Europe and the sea-board of Canada, '.the .Pacific ports of North America will -become the distributing points for the western half of the continent, and the trade and commerce of British Columbia will be vastly stimulated. The opening of the canal is now probably not much more than a year away, and it behooves British Columbia to take stock of the Bituu- tlon and to prepare to secure full advantage from the opportunities that will present themselves.

Phone 68 nectlon with the annual meeting of the provincial Conservative association that at its next session tho provincial legislature will be asked to embark upon a progressive railway program that will place British Columbia, Canada -and the Empire in a position to secure the fullest commercial bene- Elt from the approaching completion of the canal will be generally welcomed as additional evidence that the destinies of the province are in good hands, and that its interests at a critical juncture are in no danger of neglect. Full details of the Premier's: proposals will be awaited with the deepest interest, and the announcement indicates that the session of tho legislature that will begin next month will 'be of extraordinary interest. Tim railway policy of the government has been a boon to the province. It se' cures the completion of another transcontinental railway, has provided for much needed extensions of existing lines on the mainland and for the opening up of Vancouver Island, has been the means of causing to be expended In tbe province on railway construction a sura that may be conservatively estimated at fifteen millions of dollars, the greater part of which is being up into circulation throughout the province, and it has ushered in an era of unexampled development and prosperity. All this has been procured practically without coBt to the province and -without involving any depreciation of the provincial credit, and the promised extension of this policy to meet approaching requir- ments and to still further stimulate the development of the province will be awaited without anxiety and in the j'ullest confidence that the interests of British Columbia will be advanced and protected. Apart from the development of railway policy that will transpire, the approaching ses;<lon of the legislature will evidently be of especial interest Mr. JicBrlde announces tbat the labors of the commission on taxation are to bear fruit in the introduction of a bill to effect a readjustment of the taxation system which will reduce the burden on the small tax payer. Tho legislation will be welcomed, and if it results in placing the taxation system of the' province upon a stable basis its consequences will undoubtedly be lastingly beneficial. Another important matter that will be commended to the - attention of the legislature is the re-afforestation of logged-ot'f areas. It Is a problem that calls urgently for attention, and that must be grappled with If the timber resources of the province are to be conserved in pre- ...eluJty, and if due consideration is tu je given to the rights of succeeding ^e.i orations.

TO ERADICATE BALDWIN SPOT Provincial Horticulturist Issuer Clrcu lar of Instruction to Fruit Growers —Its Cause and Cure That the "fruit pit" or "Baldwin spot" disease of apples which has been verv prevalent throughout the province thb year can be easily overcome If the growers undertake the proper methods and that there Is uo reason for alarm regarding the possibilities of its spreading from orchard to orchard Is stated by It. M. Wlnslow, who deals fully with the subject In the following circular. This disease or apples has been reported to the department from practically every apple growing section of the. province this year. Not only Is the interior attecteu, but the coast as well, while probably the greatest losses are reported fro.m the most prominent fruit sections. During tiie last six weeks, enquiries on the subject have increased greatly, indicating a rapid development of the uisease .111.-1 previous te anil following shipment. During the season of 1809, a similar outbreak occurred, though not to as great un extent as this year. In some cases, there have heen louses up iu 20 per cent of the fruit picKed, and we are advised of other cases where large shipments have iiad to be sacrificed on arrival at destination,, because of development in transit. This trouble goes under a confusing variety of names. The principal ones commonly given by fruit growers are "Baldwin Spot,"' "Fruit Spot," "Dry Rot, ' •Bitter Rot,** ''Brown Rot," "Physlcologl- uul Dry Rot," Xo specific cause has yet been discovered.

The Remedy The remedies are: a good heavy crop ot trult, a reasonable growth, consistent with the age, size una Health of the tree. To secure heavy crops and a mature growth, the following ate of importance national winter priming, repluceu uy sum- iin-i- p> lining it' uusuluieiy necessary, the maintenance of the proper moisture sup- p.-', tebo inifcuti.hi, proper drainage, less clean cultivation. Put the orchard in sod, lf necessary, decrease the amount of soil nitrogen by lessening cultivation, by put- tuig Liie oiclWd in sod, or planting Intercrops, and where necessary balance the nitrogen supply by adding potash and pnospnorlc acid. Unhealthy trees should be given proper conditions above, to regain vigour. Properly cared for, they will produce a much higher class ut trult. Badly discolored trees had better be remnved. More rational methods of orchard cultivation are absolutely essential to permanent control of. this disease. Its prevalence this year lias aroused much need- lees apprehension In the minds of fruit growers,- -The disease can be avoided almost entirely, by the proper methods. It Ih significant that good Intentions, rather than want on neglect, have brought It on, to a very large degree, The methods above recommended, skilfully applied, will result In much greater yields of fruit We are AT LAST in a position to offer Subdivided Pend d'Oreille Lands in small blocks of from 12 to « acres each.

Tiie cost of production per uox will he actually lessened considerably, and the generul quality and color of the fruit raised in equal degree. Not Contagious In view of the possible Injury which may be caused our province by needless alarm, it Is to be hoped that fruit growers will Investigate the subject rationally, and, having formed their conclusions, work out the remedy hest adapted to their ,own '■irehnrds. It Is encouraging to note that the prevalence of fruit pit In one orchard has no effect whatever on the orchards of the same district. Contagion and infection are Impossible; on this account, no governmental or municipal efforts are possible lor need be undertaken. This does not absolve any progressive fruit grower from endeavoring to bring his neighbor Into line with proper methods so bb to eliminate thla trouble, nnd with It, water core, winter injury, to some extent aphis, from the district. THIS RANGE FINDER GREAT. H.M.S. Orion is putting to test a new form of range-finder to be used in the firing of her 13.5 in. guns. This consists of a gyroscopic mounting upon which it range-finder is carried. The object is to counteract the rolling anjd pitching of the battleship ' in :i rough sea, and enable the range to be found more correctly. The new range-finder is placed in lire-control stations at the top of til .- ed masts, from which guns are trained and fired by electric connections with the barbettes, and it has been highly successful when tested on shore. During the gun trials condi tlons will be extremely severe, on account ol the intense vibration to which the apex of the tripod masts will be subjected. Waists are large. Waist lines are normal, or nearly so Suit coats lire finger-tip length, or shorter. Skirts are narrow, and often with slashed effects. Every indication points to a strong revival of taffeta. The use of antique fringe is a new phase of fashion. White satin and white taffeta skirts are worn with white lace waists. Fur trimminga of all kinds are expected to be good for winter millinery. Puff and scallop trimmings on many of the dresses suggest the early Victorian styles.

MONTREAL, Nov. 25.—Hockey has again come into Its own and practice Ib now in full swing in all the rinks.

They will be minus the services of Bruce Ridpath, their sterling right wing, who Ib struggling between life and death in Toronto ub the result of being struck (by an automobile If Ridpath recovers he may never he able to play hockey again. The Wanderers will be the team with an entirely new lineup, as the Victorias of the British Columbia league have secured five of the Wanderers to play in the west this coming season. These men are:, Hyland, Marshall, Glass, Johnston and Harne. There is no protection against the raids of this kind in Canadian hockey. Renfrew has also lost two of her stars to Uhe same team. The Renfrew men to go are Lindsay and Gilmour. The Shamrocks, Lies Canadiens and Quebec will he about the same as last season. The Toronto team, of course, has at present an unknown make-up, as tiiey are without a manager. Then, again, tney are not just sure If their new arena will be ready in time to start the season. The Toronto home games may have to be played on Montreal ice for the first month. In the western professional league, Victoria seems to bo dead set on la id ing the championship.

The pumping keeps time with the music, the bodies of the dancers swaying rythinically in accord- There is, of course, nothing new in the movement so far, except that it is exaggerated far beyond what is considered allowable in England or America; Shihfifo Gum cmDC rmioiic healsthelungs OlUrV VVUtlllO PRICE. 25 CENTS \i(A The Indispensable Petticoat Our assemblage of all varieties of Petticoats complete and up to date.

When we compare the expenditure on the British navy with that of the power to which we must look at present, It would be found to be double. There might be some doubt as to whether we were getting full value for the money voted, but we were not in a Sleepy Hollow. The present year was an absolute record for naval construction. In the current year of 12 months, six dreadnoughts had passed Into the Bervice; eight more simllfar vessels had taken the water; and seven more had been laid down. Twenty-one dreadnoughts was a pretty considerable number for V. months. During his recent cruise in the Sunbeam he had ibeen in touch at Lam- lash with the first division of the home fleet, in Cromarty with Admiral Bridgeman's division of that fleet, and In the Firth of Forth with Admiral Cannon's second division of the home fleet, and wherever he had been he had seen the same assiduity, ernest- ness, devotion, and zeal In ( carrying out the instructions of the navy.

The Moving picture World reports the inst named as a magnificent picture, full of merit and deep interest, a great feature by the Reliance compnny, and a credit to any bill. During the week "From Bud to Bloom," a rarety beautiful anil educational film, will be Bhown, The Prince Albert Dully Herald says tile following of the Shubert Symphony club and Ladles' quartette of Chicago, which ■I ki r ni me opera house tonight under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus: "If somewhat disappointing In numbers, the audience which turned out last night tn ''ear the Schubert Symphony club and Ladles' quartette of Chlcngo, made up for ,u,v sinirtc-iinlngs in this respect by their appreciation of tho high talents of the com. i any and by tiie hourly manner in Which thev greeted the various ItemR on the program. The Ladles' quartette, which opened the concert with Mendelssohn's "March Nuptial," gave a finished rendering of this, the blending of the voices, tbe quality of the tone and perfect pitch being of the higher order. This applied to all the selections which they sang during the evening. Worthy of special mention were the 'Schubert Serenade' and 'The Venetian Serenade,' both of which were splendidly rendered and with excellent taste. They I had to respond with several encores, in une of which Til Be in Old St. Ives Tomorrow,' they brought out the humor of the piece in a very successful manner. The symphony club was highly appreciated m Us various Items and showed marked ability in the use of tlielr various Instruments, and had to respond with an encore at each of their appearances. Miss Anna Pearl Weatherlngton, in her various monologues delighted'the audience, her most successful effort being Woman' and 'The Saleslady,' In both of which she displayed humorous and other qualities in keeping with the high-class order of the company. One of the outstanding features of the evening was found In the soprano solos by Miss Leeta Corda, who bus a clear, round full voice and showed marked abilitv lu her rendering of tiie 'Aria' from Verdi's ■Kigolct.il,' which she sang in the Italian. Her singing so delighted the audience that she had to respond with an encore, 'The Lust Rose of Summer,' which she sang with delightful effect. The biggest feature, however, was the violin playing of Mr. Thomas Valentine Pureed, who Is certainly tiie best violinist who lias reached (his elty. His technique and executive ability and the manner in which he til-ought out tiie beautiful tone of his instrument quite captivated the audience. All of the items rendered by him were "f the name high class standard, and one felt that one could not hear him too often. The contralto, Miss Lovie Zendt Purcell. has a deep, powerful voice and was hennl to good advantage In Tito Matel's 'Non E. Ver,' and also in her encore, 'I'll lie Forever True,- the effect '»f which wns heightened by being accompanied with the violin. The last Item on tiie program. 'Softly Falls the Shades of Night,' was rendered in fine taste by the whole party, and wns ii.'Hd."l1v the best effort of the eviijng-" 1143 COMPLETE PLANS FOR NEW STEAMER Local C. P. R.
