next, several gentlemen will be return- . ed on dur "side, and that on more able shoulders may fall the task of Hiding the Liberal. party in this province."

There wa*- h general chorus of dis- T7 approval and qj cries of ‘You’re lhe / leader for us." . /.

........ :1 Reason# For Existence. /-—r-

“ft has been said repeatedly that/th# Liberate of BritIsH-Columbla wen^ disorganised, defeated, discouraged, had nothing‘to fight for,” continued the leader of the opposition, "I ffankly mit that our organlxation,-1s not v.hat It ought to be. One of the first things we have to secure thay organisation Is tov*how the party and the people of thm province that there Is a .reason for the existence of the Liberal party, that there 1* good cause why It shoqld be perfectly organised, and that Is why I speak to you to-night.

'.'Some of our opponents say I have faculties of destructive criticism; that*^ any màh can pull to piece*, but It re-""/, quires a statesman to rear new edifices. In that latter respect I think our party will compare favorably with our opponents. But I wish to show that there le a reason for our criticism Of our opponents, and that we are noL only able to criticise their actions but to nut line a policy which, if we are placed fn a position, to carry it out. will redound to _the honor of the province." (Applause.) «

The leader of the opposition went on to say that he would refer to some of the doing* of the McBride government by waÿNof clearing the ground. It was a boast "(if the Conserve lives that they _ had f.>und ,the treasury depe|t«ti and the province bankrupt, and that they had changed QcmdlUoM to one In which, they* was a surplus of "'a million and a

herebjT "ffTfarier. But tht McBride government did not create the magnificent forests, did not depowlt the mineral^ did not ondeiSay the wandstvne with coal.

Mr. Bryan entered the dining’ room about 1:45 and was given a mdsFhëartÿ reception. All present rose artd applauded him heartily. Tne guest of the day seemed much pleased at this cordial reception as he "bowlngly made M» Way to his seat.

Mayor Hall In a very neat spee< h formally welcomed Mr. Bryan to Victoria and the latter was again cheered when he rose to geply/

Mr. Bryam bjrgah by sayirlg he up. predated tmr cordial welcome and thanked them most heartily. It was a privilege to meet the business «nen of, Victoria at the social bTrirv^, He wu glad to meet Canadians who. were lH,un«l t-i HÉ iH-.'ple of the Unite 1 States, While in Japan he had attend *d a meeting whH*n was opened with *the ‘w*»ng which begins "Blest be the tie that binds." He had been much Impressed, 'mere were so many ties binding people together throughout ttys world, and the speaker nunu-ràUd the numerous ties, but thwfargest and the strongest wae the Hé "which binds our hearts In Christian love." We! recog nise the binding fbree of numerous tie*, and nations near each other should re cognize, the natural ties binding them together. The English language was the only language he had evsr had time to learn, and the Republicans had kept him talking that so long that he had no time to learn another. (Laugh ter.)

The Y. M. C. A. and Its work was next alluded to by Mr. Bryan. This or- agnization was doing a noble work In binding together the Christian nations. Some year* ago his youngest son had asked him which Yr M. ,C. A; organization he should join In his city, and he had replied, "AH of them." (Laughter.)

/He congratulated Victoria **n ....sfwhdid movement for the erection of a-new- es*oelnH"n--building- here: raising of such a fine sum as $100.000 was a credit to the city.

In this connection Mr. Bryan told of the great success which had attended e. similar movement in Lincoln. Neb Money spent' In such enterprises whh money well spent.was chea|ier to save a young man from being a crim- Inal’than to k&p him in jail afterwards. The state should be as ready to prefect society . from the tragedies of temptation as M would if. a great disaster had occurred.

The speaker cited tl\e case of how cities which suffered from fire elicited hearty and spontaneous relief, arid he said there should be the same ready desire to prevent disasters from sin. The Y.M.C.A. was doing a.noble work.

ild tell the value of a human life, There are times when the fate of a nation might hàng upon the works Of an individual. The publie did not estimate the influence of a single man. ^The heart full of love for it* fellows Would speak long after all our hearts were still. Who would measure the Influence of a single life? The very founder of the Y.M.C.A. might at one time have been on the verge of succumbing to temptation, how important, therefore, was • it to protect the individual 4t«d surround Mm with ennobling influences.

W. J. BRYAN TALKS

ON EDUCATION

J-

Part of His tffe Pkm to Keep in Touch With

Students.

Seattle, Wash., Oct. 13.—Elbowing his way through the crowds, ignoring the guards detailed to clear a path foi him. and smiling, talking and shaking hands with everybody and his 'brother. Wm. J. Bryan, Democrat, saw the'A. Y.P. Exposition yesterday In as truly a democratic way as the humblest man who ever entered the gate; He spent two hours In the Government,

contention that Dr. Cook did not reach \ Alaaka. Hawaiian, Agricultural. Japan-the north~pole, is now made public for the first time. The statement and map have been copyrighted by the Peary Arctic Club. The introduction by Peary is: ~

"Some of my reasons for saying that *t>r. Cook did not go to the. north pole will be understood by those who read the following statements of the two Eskimos who went with him, and who told me and others of my. party where he did go. Several Eskimos w&o started with Dr. niiiM H ITIll A III I Ml were at Etah when I first arrlvtH there in August, 1806.. They told me that Dr. Cook had with him, after they left, two Keklmtr boy* or young men, two sledges and some twenty dogs.... “The hoys were I-Todk-AvShoe and Ah-Pe-Lah. I had' known them from their childhood, on* was about eighteen and the other nineteen years old. On my return from Cape -Sheridan, and at, the very first settlement } touched (Nerke, near Cape Chalon) In August, 1909, and nine days before reaching Etah, the Eskimos told me In a general way where Dr. Cook had been; that he had wintered In Jones Sound and that he had told the white men at Etah Jhat he had been a long way north, but that the boys who were with him said that this was not so. The Eskimos laughed at Dr. Cook’s story. On reach ing Etah I talked with the Eskimos there and with the two boys, and asked them te describe Dr. Cook’s journey to members of my party and myself, and this they did in the manner stated below.

-R. PEARY." "The two Esqulmo boy$, I-Took-A

Shoe and Ah-Pe-Lah, who accompanied Dr. Cook while he was away from Ana- tok In 1908 and 1909 were questioned separately and independently, and were corroborated by Pan-Ik-Pah, the father of one of them (I-Took-A-Shcc), who was personally familiar with the first- third and last third of their journey, and who said that the route for the remaining third as shown by them was as described by his son after returning with Dr. Coble. Notes of their state ments were taken by several of us, and no one of us has any doubt that they told the truth.

“Their testimony was unshaken by cross-examination, was corroborated by other men in the tribe and was elkted neither by threats nor p/pmlses, the two boys and their father talking of their journey and their experiences In the same way that they would talk of any hunting trip. To go more Into details, one of the boys was called In. and with a chart on the table before him was asked to show where he had gone with Dr, Cook. Thht he did. pointing out with hts Anger on the map. but hot making any marks uporvjt. As heVronl nut t ha hlk». UA.._____ _

“When he was through Pan-lk-pah, the father pf I-Took-A-Shor. a very Intelligent, man, who was In the party of Eskimos that came back with Dr. Cook flMk tbé northern end of Mahkon Strait, who was familiar as a hunter with the Jones Sound region and who has been In Commander Peary’s various expeditions for some fifteen years, t ame In and Indicated the same localities and details as the two boys. Then the fl^fl boy^xtaa brought 1» again, and with a pencil he traced on the map their route, members of our party writing upon the chart where, according to the boy's statement, they had killed deer, bear, some of their dor*, seal, walrus and muskoxen. The

I fécond boy was then called In and thi two went over Abe chart, together, the second boy" suggesting some changes, as noted heretofore. Finally, Pan-lk- pah, the father, was again called In to verify details of the portions of the mute with which be was personally familiar.

"The bulk of the boys' testimony *’ft« not taken by Commander Peary-,

‘nor In hi* presence, a fact that obviate* any possible claim that they were awed by him. Certain questions on Independent lines from the direct narrallye of the Eskimo- boy* were

• «Concluded on page 9.)

Canadian and Forestry buildings.On his- way to the exposition Mr.

Bryan stopped at the Broadway high school and. there met a reception which for warmth could not well be eclipsed. He said In part:

"I have, long been Interested in students and It has been a part of my life plan to come ie close touch with student life. Til life future I Intend more and more to I visit universities and schools, though J have not neglect-

•MJ&ftfii in the pa-st.Every man and woman in our coun

try should be prepared -to give his fellow countryman his thought* and judgment. . £ agree that It la necessary for- an orator to be bom. like any one else, but that’^ the smallest part of it. His ancestry plays little Agiif*. ' The two essentials of eloquence are that thê speaker must know what he Is talking abobt and mean what he says. The age of oratory is not past and never will be so long as great questions arise I in history,’' __X.

Referring to the question of education. Mr. $ryan said:

This rather remarkable and very popular sub-division lies on th e north shbre of Burrard Inlet, facing the City of Vancouver, commanding a magnificent view, and its location along th—------Road brings it in direct line of civic improvement- The Second Narrows Bridge and Tramline will give Sunset Heights quick, cheap transportation into the business heart of Vancouver.The soil is good and there is no rock and the clean ng is light, fhe land is fairly level with a gentle slope from north to south, insuring good drainage. There is one_ravine onthe east which has been blocked off the plot and these lots are not for sale. Knowing the situation thoroughly we believe a conservative estimate would double the price of Sunset No. 2 in two years. The price and terms places this beautiful property within the reach of every working man, clerk, schoolteacher and all those of moderate means. gS-r

DELIGHTED AUDIENCE

Inspiring Lecture Given at St.

Andrew's Presbyterian " Church.

T iCOMING TO BOOST: WINNIPEG EXPOSITION

The auditorium of St. Andrews Presbyterterr church was fairly well filled tost evening for the lecture given by Miss Agnes Deans Cameron under , the auspices of the Young People's Ho- j clot y pf- the church. Doubtless there, would have been a much larger audi- j ence had It not been for the very heavy rainfall Just at the time of the commencement of the lecture.

In Illustration of the lecture. "Between' the Gates of- Canada." Miss Cameron showed views of points of Interest in the Ddfnlnlon commencing at Digby, Nova S< otla. and finishing at Queen harlotte Isjand Some of these views were of intense Interest, and a few were photographs taken by ’ Miss innleron and shown for the first time. The lecturer briefly described each liTmrrp EcnA -ofteo quuUai v«;ry aptly some gems of poetry to emphasise a truth which she wished to bring to the attention of the audience There wa* not the same enthusiasm displayed by the audience as at the former lecturers, but it his was jwssibly accounted for by the fact that the gathering was in a saerqd edifice and also by the fact that many of the pictures khown were familiar to a large number present. As usual the value of the Icc-tufec a# an educative force cannot l*e oVer estimated for the wonderful natural wealth of the Dominion was very strongly emplmsir.ed. bpth by the photographs >h..\\ n ;m-1 bjf tftt words of the IcTTïïnT: It would be an excellent thing If every high svhqol and college In the Domln- | ton • onto—hitian opportunity to sec the pictures and hear Mtsg Cameron describe -he wealth aid beauty of the land in which we live.

A w&ter and sewerage Bill has been introducted Into the Legislative Assembly.

•*- Premier ; and Defence. 4Speaking with regard to the result of

the Empire Defence Conference, Mr, Moore said the government and people of Western Australia—the state which Is the shortest distance from Europe— were quite alive to the need for Joint co-operation in Imperial defence. He htms.Mf was inclined t,. put his trust In the admiralty experts, and to do as they advised. The premier expressed general satisfaction .with the outcome ôf the conference hut preferred.to wait for further details before expressing a definite opinion.

In a circular issuedthe heads of departments the premier caflls upon them to give special attention to the readjustment and simplification of system, so ft* to devise means to secure greater efficiency a'nd at the same time, effect the necessary economies.

CONFIDENCE IN FUTURE.CAPETOWN.

Interviewed on his arrival from England, Mr. Botha, Premier of thç Trans- vall, said:

"With regard to the future government of the Union. 1 think too many speculative opinions have already been expressed ; some ap|iear to desire Coalition ' government and others party governjptyit based on existing party lines, 1 have already expressed my own view M the qunstWn. and to-, day I do not wish to pay more than this: do nut let mf—Jump before we reach the stile, but trust the people of South-Africa to do tfië rîgbrTKTnç when the proper time arrives. I know South Attica and Us."people well, and I am convjpoed that its future can be entrusted to no better hands than to

whatever party they méy be drawn. A people who have so'shortly after a terrible war shown such moderation and good sense, and who have so amply Justified the trust reposed In ’ them^ can be fully relied upôn in the future.

"You ask me about the future. The outlook has never appeared more hopeful or bright, and I have the greatest confidence In the future development and prosperity of South Africa. I should •like to take .this opportunity of referring also to the labor question. I.Jiave noticed, that at interval,» statements are made to the effejef that a scat-city of labor Is feared. I 'have not the least hesitation in stating that I <j-i . >t ylsnr the labor question With the least ap-< prehension.! The supplies of native labor In South Africa 'are by no means exhausted, and, given fair and sympathetic treatment of the , natives. I am firmly convinced that the supplies, will not .,niy be considerably augmented. but the laborers thqmselves will become more trustworthy and efficient. Any one who has tha slightest knowledge of our native» knows that there are seasons when the natives have dgslre to remain at their kraals th greaier numbers than at',1 other times,

j and It sêems that these are the periods wheti the alarm is sounded for market and other purposes.

“Wr nty wl«4 thw two dominating factors which should influence share hofdenr tetvîh^ gold output and the economic working of the mines. It is well kmiwu that the natives are gradually attaining to a higher standard <>f living through ttieif 6oSl6« with civilization. and that thousands who • few years ago did no work at all are grad ually but surely evincing a desire to work in order to provide themselves With n of essartes whl<h they did not require before. This I» abundant' ly proved by the great increase in the number of workers In the mines, and In the agricultural Industry. Furthermore, under a Ugton government there will be a strong and ami a uniform policy for the -betterment of the<position of the native*, and this mliKt a iso conduce to more reliable and stable labor conditions. But quite apart from the sources of supply of native labor, I am confident that greater use can be, and will be, made ofiwhlte labor. -----------

The Free Trade-Unionists.! It Is perhaps, to be regretted tha^ j then are still some notable.member# j of the Unionist party who hold the

free trade theory; buta party which is united Upon a national and an Imperial policy can afford to welcome honest Indépendance of thought. A conviction. In these days. Is more valuable—strange as It may seem to thé Libéral party— than even a vote. Tariff rcform' happen# to be a conviction, too, But wjiat about free trade?—Standard.------ The Peer's Powers.

Not having the courage to proclaim revolution by ling the budget,they will bring to bear all their pernicious powers to wreck the other Bnv. crûment measures one by one and thus fore* g dissolution .for very shame. As proof of our conjecture, tfaelr treatment of the Housing Bill comes with dramatic fitness. One of t6e most excellent social measures That ever grlned the approval of the Commons was-scornfully tom to shreds by a pajrty of men who know nothing whatever of the people's needs and represent nothing whatever but their own riches and land. That le thé Hne of action, as we believe, marked out for them now. They can then proclaim to the country that they passed the budget and only flung out the other measures in accordance with their ancestral rights.

Why Cole’s Hot BlastIs Supreme Over All Heating Stoves

Every part of Cole’s Hot Blast Heater Is a stove masterpiece.Anti government patents permit them on Coje’s Hot Blastonly.Every little detail contributes towards making Cole’s Hot

Riaat the fuel saver, a perfect heat radiator, a stove that holds fire from Saturday night to Monday morning, end the cleanest stove ever set up. * '

Read this detailed story of a heating marvel ?nd you will see why we can* b.ack Cole’s Hot Blast with the iron-chid guarantee we give every purchaser. You will see why 60,000 Cole’s Hot Blasts are made and shipped by the Cole Manufacturing Co. each year, three times the annual output of any other one make of heaters. You will see why they are distancing all would-be rivals in the heating stove trade with a business growing by leaps and bounds each season—why we can sell you a

greater bargam than any one.

The Hot Blast DraftThis is a view of the stove with a hole

cut in the side to show how the Hot Blast makes perfect combustion.

In an ordinary stove gas, which is half the heat value of coal, arises from the coal as the coal bums and the gaâ goes right on up the chimney. Not so with Cole’s Hot Blast Heater. The Hot Blast Draft on top of the fire bums the coal from the top—bums the gas. Thus a given amount of coal gives off twice as much heat as in an ordinary heater.

Air-Tight ConstructionAnything less than anair-tight construc

tion means that the stovels getting draft through cracks, seams or openings, even when the draft is closed. So the air-tight feature will prove the supremacy of Cole's Hot Blast ovet all other stoves as to perfect fire holding and heat coritroL

Note this picture-of bottom of the-stove wEereTdraft enters.See the water-tight bottom, the

patented compound hinge making possible a perfect ground surface where ash door rests.It is automatic in it? closing, cannot be warped by the heat so as to leak air and needs only the force of gravity to keep it closed and - air-tight. The cat also shows the patented steelcollar fastening the casting to________________the steel body of the stove.This patented feature gives the only way in Which a casting can be connected to sheet metal so as to stay tight. It is used only on this stove. Every detail government patented. So you find them only on Colt’s Hot Blast.

which will withstand the severe use year after year which a heating stove is necessarily sub-

' jected to. '*Sheet Steel is the most sensitive radiating

Surface. Cast iron withstands the wear and tear of the heat from the active combustion better than other material.

You will see from a glance at the accompanying cut that practically the entire radiating surface of this remarkable stove is sensitive sheet metal and at the same time is fully

Elected from the active'combustion by a vy cast. Iron fiflr.pot, a cast iron lining extending 1 Inches above the fifre pot and

‘ hwith a heavy inner steel lininfc extending i from the cast lining to the top/of the stove.

There are 36S1 square inches of steel dialing surface in a 24-inch Cole's Hot

Blast as compared with 1766 in a base burner with the same size fire pot.

Cleanliness-Easy to Care ForUsers of coal must remember that the

ordinary heater is a big care to operate.That its smoke and ashes entail dusting, jcurtain washing and carpet sweeping. Think then of the ease of operation and the cleanliness of Cole's Hot Blast. * *~~

Cole’s Hot Blast has a smokëèréèf feed —door»—located « th<r top of thr stove as shown in illustration. Open the feed door and the current of air draws the smoke directly across the stove to the stovepipe-away from the opening. Contrast this simple, cleanly feed with the side door in an ordinary heater. The side door permits escape of dirty smoke, unpleasant gas and accumulated soot drops from it. If yon overfill a side door, stove coal falls to the floor. And note this, you cannot make a side door heater air-tight—an everlasting advantage m favor of Cole's Hot Blast which is air-tight and guarantied to remain so always.

Method of Removing AshesNo ashes, or coals can drop on. the floor when being removed, as the

hod set# eteev'iraderthe projeetfffgrastfag. By tht»«mnigement the fire-pot ! sets close to the floor and warms It—there are no leaky joints around ash doors and absolute cleanliness is possible. The small ash-pan* used in other stoves are invariably overfilled and aabes, coals, and dust are dragged out on. the floor when they are removed.

Beautiful in AppearanceCole's Hot Blast fa a beautifully ornamented and bthutifully propor

tioned stove. The beautiful ornamental nickeled parts are copper1 plated before being nickel plated. There are no cracks or scams to open ahd leak dirt over different parts of the stove. You will find your stove just as tight and clean and will treasure It as much in ten years as whan put up.

Ih Jure. 1908. one of the men, Chas.R. McMillan, left FuUerUm with four natives to go to Churchill for mall and suppliés, setting oüt before the ice had broken up. The party travelled In a whaleboat, and 28 days had passed before the trip ended. Drift ice being Jammed in made it difficult to. g®| the boat Into the water from time to

* the difficulty ' “ me*

Constable Hugh McDlarmld, of Max- ville, Ont, who ha* returned home from mounted police duty -àt Fullerton, on Hudson s Bay, tells an Interesting story of experiences In the far north. Fullerton Is an Eskimo settlement o which white men seldom find their way, and is a 1.400 mile Journey from Winnipeg. The trip out to. the latter point was made by whaleboat, canoe and steamer.

The barracks at Fullerton am located on a small Island, two mfles long by a half mile wide, and about 500 miles north from Churchill by the coast line. ’ The Island is formed of mild rot* and. as Is the case with the surrounding country, shows _no signs of vegetation save small patches of mon.

It was on August 18th, 1908, that McDlarmld and two companions arrived at Fullerton, making the trip from Halifax <yi the steamer Adventure, which was chartered In that year by the Dominion government for a trip into the bay. After taking up their lonely-ttfe in the barracks, the first word that the three had from the outside world was In the summer of 1907 when the Hudson Bay Company s boat McTavlsh made a trip from Churchill to Fullerton. It was on this boatlhat Sergt. Donaldson, who later life through being attacked by a walrus, went to ■Pulltfton. On~the return trip to Churchill the McTavlsh narrowly escaped l>elng wrecked, losing her anchors and being blown out to sea

ashore and an Idea of of the task may be gleaned from the fact that it took them from midnight one night to midnight the next to finish the Job. Rising the next morning they found that the ice bad broken up. so they had been fortunate in getting the boat ashore on the previous night. It was at Driftwood point that they had landed, and for 12 days until the w4nd changed they were camped on the ba^ren-ghore. v After al! thq. Ice had been blown off shorn they again set out for Churchill and In two days reached the mouth of the Churchill rivet. There agiln they met with difficulty, er they çottld not get the boat Into the river on account of the drift Ice and the craft had to be left on Button bay while the party walked In McNhllan and the natives with him were exposed to great hardship for almost the whole time occupied by the trip as the weather was cold and often very stormy. The voyage Is on record as th> Aval made by a white man between Fullerton And Churchill with a whaleboat.

The party left Churchill for the return trip on July 15th, and as the Ice was all gofce they had a good run and made Fullerton In ten days. On September 2nd. 1908. McDtarmld and McMillan left Fullerton In a coast boat to come out as men to relieve them had been sent in. They wer* accompanied by Inspictor Pelletier, who had come to Fullerton by way of Great Slave Iakd Ttrtr attempt to reach Churchill ended in the boat being wrecked *A‘i the whole psydy was forced to return to Fullerton. In the winter Inspector Pelletier came out by dog train, white' McMillan and McDlarmld remained for the winter.

starting for Churchill on July 7th of this year, and arriving there on July Mth. They made this trip In a whaleboat and had no trouble with ice. At J$larhi£ lEîKiid they saw a herd of walrus, hundreds being visible. To escape these they had to run their boat ashore and one had to be killed to avoid wrecking the boat. On the way tp Churchill several polar bears were seen and dier were sighted nearly every day.

McDlarmld tells many Interesting stories of their life at Fullerton, and the customs of the Eskimos. There are about forty of these natives, great and small, around Fullerton, and although *

have corné' Into contact w'ith • white men to a certain extent they still retain nearly all of their primitive customs. They are very hospltabft*j to white men and their tents in summer and their “Igloos" or snow- houees In winter are always open to strangers. Their honesty and fidelity*1 made a strong Impression on*the members of the Fullerton detachment, and their Intelligence Is described as being far above that of the Indians;

-f They are employed to a great extent In whaling for Captain Cornier, who comes around from New Bedford, Mass., with a schooner. Deer are secured the year round and In the winter the Esklmi kill many seals for Mi making and eating purposes.

Now-a-days boys’ clothes are not merely Boys' clothes, they are junior

! rather a "freakish" appearance, says the Commercial. This is true in the

1 smartest styles shown this season for boys from ten to sixteen years. Below

; ten, the styles are classified as children's. Above sixteen they are .merged

| Into regular college clothes. These dlf- i ferentiated above as "boys' fashions"' îre shown for the fall season mostly

In the short trousers the ùedency I* more toward bloomer effects than the straight tep users. The long trousers are eut extremely peg Witte worsteds with shadow stripes of the same color or White chalk stripes wilt crowd the greys and the olives closely in prominence In the larger sixes. In juveniles (2Vi to S years) the styles are nearly the same as for spring wear. Stone grèys ând olives, with a sprinkling of plaids, are unquestionably going to be the most popular. The ever popular Russian models with military collars, retain their favor In preference to everything else this season.

Blouse or sailor styles are also very popular. The majority of "smart" gar-

! mente are shown with military collars, quite high in the neck* some with single revers. These are also shown with the coat cut open in the neck, with dickey or guimpe effect attachments.

Tourists Were Given Opportunity to See Prairies at

Their Best,

When we learn that the Seattle exposition has resulted in some, substantial publicity for the Canadian west, vfre may not be blamed for feeling that our own proposed ltl2 Centennial would do an Immense amount of good for all these provinces, and In fact for the whole Dominion.

Hugh . McKkllar, Moose Jaw, In ‘ a communication to The Commercial this week gives an interesting account of how the Seattle^^position has been a great advertiser for the Boo line and Moose Yaw districts. . Thousands of tourists have passed through from the middle and eastern states on their way to Seattle, or hay© taken the Canadian trip on their return from the exposition. Moose Jaw district and th^ Boo line, with fields of ripening grain or in stock, or farmers busy threshing In the fields, far as -the eye can see on each fide of the railway, impressed such visitors with the possibilities of.Saskatchewan as a home for sucessfql farm operations.

The result Is that many parties are now visiting those districts for tflé'purposes of purchasltflr farm lands. Three different parties from Illinois were In the Moose Jaw district during tâe last fifteen days, and one of them purchased 5.000 acres, another 8,000 acres and the third endeavored to secure 10,000 acres; Th® last deal will have to be completed by correspondent*. All this land Is on the Outlook branch, In the vicinity of the Elbow, the purchased areas being close to Loreburn. The prie® paid was practically $20 per acre.

Think <$£ all th-s tourists that would be attract©! here by the big centennial. Thousands^would come not merely to

the "fair," but to look into the opportunities for investment here. In other words, the Centennial would not be bo much a coaxer as a convenient time in which those could come who have their intentions anyway bent on a trip.to the* parts.

SAVES BROTHER FROM

DEATH IN COAL MINE

Revelstokt. Oct. 12.—At the last meeting of the board of trade the mayor reported that the lumber was arriving*- cn the ground for tbs publicity build- in*.

The , publicity co:innltteo reported $964 has been subscribed by the citizens towards the publicity fund and amounts to come in would bring.it upto 11,000.

Mr. Allen saggfeSUU^ fetting saliX- tlcs and particulars of the mineral resources of the district, timber, land, forest attractions, etc., and Incorporating these in their advertising matter. AlsOT in the book that would be publish,- èd. there should be a directory of the business firms In the city, so thàt the book would bring them some practical refûrfT'fôr their contributions by enabling people Interested to communicate with the local men in regard to business or investments. ;He expressed his appreciation of the liberal way In which thre people of the ettey had come forward-to back up the board in their efforts to advertise Reveletoke.

The mayor said they knew bow the city stood at present* The subscription list presented was one^ of the most satisfactory evidences they had that the way the people had taken hold of this publicity scheme would do more for Reveletoke than m<ny other things. They should look to one thift»,-— add one thing only.-and that was the advancement ‘of the city. The business' men had got together aq they never had before and there was no longer anything .standing in the way, of. tho progress of their city.

The following were appointed to compile statistics and partic ulars for the board's booklet, of which -it Is proposed to issue 10.000 copies: Land. Messrs. Sibbald and Fraser; mines, Messrs. Haggen and «.Robertson ; timber. Messrs. Sine and Lindmark; de- scrlptlw writing, E. A. Haggen.

A report was read from W. B.

, Just such a Suffolk old woman as Edwar| FTteGerald loved to talk with in her cottage, “while the trees mur- giured without," gave me the statement of existence which I now venture to present to a wider audience, writes Harold Begbie in thé* London Chronicle. This peasant woman Is as good as gold, dull* trustworthy, one of the best Influences on the side of the self-help and self-respect In a somewhat decadent and demoralised village. She Is what we call "an eld dear."

Her statement of existence Is not the budget of a nation, calling for meetings of « alarmed tradesmen In Glasgow and Birmingham, necessitating at all cOgiis the return of a nam from his villa In Italy, and filling the newspapers, with the sad vituperation of class «Controversy. It is only the budget of a peasant, but it represents the budget of thousands of units composing the nation.

The false estimates which vhlate yearly all the Judgments of. mankind may lead many simple people to reckon the. budget of a poor .peasant a» something negligible when the' whole, intellect of the country .Is concerned with the budget of the nation. Theae false estimates are always in the way oC, truth. For example, the nation would read with amazement that thé' King had gone to spend the end of a wpf*k with Thomas Hartfy or with Oliver Lodge, but without amazement It reads of kingly visits to the Sassoons or the .Wlisons. For Wealth the w'hole nation has infinitely greater re- speçt than for intellect or genius. The people most free from snobbishness see nothing In royalty's friendship for the rich; they would share the astonishment of» the worst tuft-hunter if royalty manifested delight an* pleasure In . the' society of the humble scholar; What a false estimate of llfé! To state It la to rpake one asfiamed Of human reason and human character. And yet. It Is a general truth. For the vast majority of men arid women, the good, the virtuous, the religious, as well as for the mere vulgar and philistine, wealth, shim with a glory greater far than ^talent or genius. Who disputes It? Who realises its significance? It^ja the

-corruption ; of otrr pullttcy HTid' f>0f f6- Ugton.

A Living Document.But_ let us he rid of this false esti

mate for a few minutes. Let us. at any rate, pretend that man l* something more than his possessions. Let us persuade ourselves to believe for"»; moment or -two thât human—splendor cut* but a poor, figure In the eyes of Heaven, and that the heart of the Individual. carrying his fortitude his cheerfutnesa; hts hopes, and his sor- rcws. Ts the main business, of evolution and the real purposes of God. If we can persuade ourselves to enter- yUn this fantastic notion feflr a f«W minutes, then the budget of the peasant will seem to pa as interesting as the budget of the nation.

The woman of whom I speak gives me the budget of a peasant with a wife and six chlldfeji. She budgets fqr this little family at twelve shillings a week. I quote her written statement, prepared entirely by herself, and not In any way prompted or corrected by another. This fa the document;

A man Wages at 12s. a week and to keep hlrnself and Wife and six Chll-

Rent. £3 10s. Od. a year. 1Week's rent 1 shilling and five pence.

leaving him ten shillings and sev^n- penee for food and shoes and clothes Wlch give hlm 1 shilling 3%d. a Week each, Bringing it downe to 2%d. a day not leaving a W*n *hy for cttrti# or sickness or Doctor nor cpfil.

This tens the written statement. "Now, Martha, tell me,” said I, "how

do you do It?""How do we do It!" She regarded

AMD WHAT IT MFAIUQ me f^r * ,on* time, smiling and Hmu nnHI II IJIL.HWO amused "Why. there, we don't knowhow we do It. That’s a puzzle to us." After a moment, resuming the polishing of a china mug, and standing first one one leg and then ori another, she said vigorously. "You see. that has got to bç done, aiid so we do It the best we van. Of course, we're more used to It than what a lot are. Some would starve* at the Job. They wouldn't go much fudder than^that! Twopence- farthing a day Isn't as.lot of money to keep yoursçl.f a-going.'is It now?"f pressed her for details, and learned

that the place of meat Is occupied on the peasant's table by pieces of Jlry bread over which boiling water 1* poured, lard added, and a pretty free use made of the pepper and salt pots. This la the trient of the family—the luxury. The chief Items, of course, are bread and vegetables. I asked ft pork was not a standing dish on Sundays. Martha laughed at the idea. “Why, look." said she. "that twopence-farthing can't buy things of that kind! "When you've fought flour, and lard at eightpenee a pound, and perhaps just enough cheese th glvi* ynb the smell pf It, you've got to think of coal end sugar, sdap and soda, ah'# bqotg and clothes, and all that. Out of the-two- pen re-farthing. mind you! Where's the money for pork?”

JOHN COCHRANE____ j_... CHEMIST.

I proceed to a moty difficult matter. Martha’s statement of existence shows twelve ahilUnga a. w eek, a* a regular Income, as regular as the salary af a civil servant or the pension of a

< oMn.-t minister hot what happens when the rain come*, and wages are not '.twelve shillings a week, but two shillings * fine day? For the laborer there Is, more than metaphor in our phrase of “the rainy day.'.’ x „

k 'whr. tjhlflTf" Martha, laughing,"we starve! Look you here, I've often eaten nothing all day but a bit of bread dipped In black tea. That’s a regular dish when there's no money lu the house. You see the landlord's "rent must be put by; then there's the coal for' the fire; a womn must have a bit of fire to t>oll the water. How do you think we can buy flour, and even lard, when all that comes in I* six shillings, perhaps less? You can’t do It. You just have to go-hungry, man. woman, and children. There's no other way.'1

I discussed Martha's stutdmeot with a first-rate man In the village, who earns on an average twenty-twd shillings a week. He told me that her rent of O 10s. Is exceedingly low, that most of the cottage* are four and five pounds. He sa.ld that he cannot Imagine how the peasants get along, seeing ttmt he trtmspjf. ^ "hfii?k non-smoker, who nevt r waste# A penny, finds R difficult to provide for his fnmtty, amt quite Impossible to s#V,e. But his wife Is an Invalid. Tile rent ,1s five pound*, and he has a family, of seven children.

Some people say to* me, "The peasants arc better off now than ever they were .before; how did their ancestors manage <n eight shillings a week, when bread arid everything else was very much dearer?” The answer is that In those Arcadian days every peasant was a thief and a pmtrter. No arithmetic In the world can demonstrate the possibility of supporting a family on eight shillings a week. Old people have told me how their parents used to steal turnips as a regular thing, and bO» i hey always kept their eyes open for a rabbit, a partridge, or a phea-sari^ Nowadays the phensanfs are multiplied a thousand-fold, but tfie gamekeepers have !>«-, <.ni.- poll. e. In my quarter of Suffolk, poaching I# practically impossible. ■ Hungry laborers see

have done tor the Irishman. A new vision is necessary. Agriculture must lie regarded, not as a pleasant oceupa-

fat pheasants taking rh»*t*tethw«r*twfôr~ ^ rich man and the genialside of the road, like the ftarrrier's fowls, and dare not lay a hand upon them. These pheasants came. Into their gardens and allotment* and scratch up thplr seeds, but- no man dares to fling a stone. To kill a pheas- imr-tw - TtTTf utTwhftnyw Tn go It Is to be turned .mt of house and home, and to find HO cottage for thfriy miles aepund. Landlords are"& mighty combine In this respect. Poaching Is a lost art. and so almost Is man fulness. The hungry peasant has not got sufficient morality even to kill a pheasant for his starving children. “i ~r-

If g bold peasantry ever did exist It has ceased to exist. Much worse than the condition of agriculture la the condition of the field laborer.

Not very long ago Sir Robert Stout told Mr. Stead that What moat struck him on his return to England was the, spirit of slackness In which the peasant dot » JUs. ,w(»rk... „Ad .. e*ps rteri.ee«1 New Zealander staying In this village, said to me, “Haw I laughed over Stout's idea. Those English peasant»* go to Lielr work at tialf-pset five In the morning, and they, tralnp back to,.the village at about the same hour in the evening; for this they faeetvé two shillings! The fine, strenuous field laborers of New Zealand work for eight Hour* a ifrif"‘afiff receive wight ehih lings. There Is a world of difference at. the end of a week between twelve shillings and fotty-eight shillings, between seventy-two hours and forty- eight hours." To explain how thé farther In Canada and New Zealand can afford to give hla laborers eight shillings, à day. i«y freights, and teat the English farmer Iri the English market would take us far away from the peasant's budget, but • one would commend the inconvenient fact to the consideration of landowners.

Snough, and more than enough for 6rir present purpose, lies In Martha’s

It can be shown that even the richest and most Indulgent landlord, a man really living on his estate, and Interesting himself in the business of the country-side, l*K trom this point of view, an unintentional enemy tp national progress and the future of the race. Indeed, the beneficent and charitable landowner is often the worst destroyer of the peasant's manhood. But this Is fur another article. ,

For the present I would ask people who have time to reflect to consider the humble and sordid struggle which Is going,on silently day by day In nearly every part of England lp- the cottages of the peasants, where a man arid his wife carry the burden of life ami support the responsibility of a family on two shillings a fine day. Martha’s budget would be laughed at In the House of Commons, but It Is In truth as great a matter for concern as the budget of the government. Martha
