a startling indictment of the

nh of the
Bliioned especially

 

 

at|}|ment and, above all, of the pol-

icy of that goternment in regard
to agricultural and timber lands.

“What the province wants,”
said Mr. Baer, “is a business gov-
ernment. The new Liberalism_is
a protest against the profligacy
of a corrupt government, Take,
for example, the timber policy of

the government. The amount of
timber lands in the province
which had been alienated was

18,000 square miles, or 11,520,000
acres, This represents a loss of
172,800,000 feet of Liinber, a loss
of $518,400,000, in return for
which we received only $2,500,000

as revenue. If we had thal money

in the treasury it would be
enough to enable the province to
get along for twenty-five years
without levying a cent of taxes.”

Mr. Baer then cited the case of
an American lumberman who
said that he had made $25,000,-
000 out of the timber lands of
this province without cutting a
stick of timber The rights to
the lands having been acquired,
they had been held for specu-
lative purposes.

The organizer then spoke of
Sir Richard McBride’s statement,
made at a banquet in Victoria,
that $12,000,000 was due the
public treasury on account of
lands sold. “But when the Lib-

Peace Negotiations.
(Special to The Daily News.)

Shanghai, July 26.—The reyo-
lutionary cause appears to be
waning despite the large rein-
foreements thal appeared when
the southerners attacked the ar-
senal. The attack failed com-
pletely and today Dr. Wu Ting

Fang, the former Chinese min-
ister to the United States, and
other prominent rebels have
cabled to President Wilson re-

questing him to propose a basis
for peace negotiations.
This city is full of refugees

from Nanking and Klukiang and
the surrounding country who
have been forced to flee to the

centre to avoid death. This over-
crowding of the eity has been at-
tended with all kinds of trouble
and the people are sleeping in
the streets, many haye made
their headquarters heye.

A Shanghai despatch to the
Daily Telegraph says looling has
begun in the city. Residents are
fleeing in all directions to avoid
what they believe will be con-
tinued war.

Many fires have brokea out in
the city, caused by thc bursting
of shells which have been thrown
into the city limits by the attack-
ing forces.

on the arsenal but were success-
fully repuised. The government

Blairsdon, Cal., July 26.—Two
masked highwaymen, armed with
rifles and revolvers, last night
held up the Blairsdon, Gold Lake
& Green Camp stage. They had
relieved the passengers of their
valuables when a second stage
came up which they also at-
tempted to loot. They took little
from the second stage, however,
for at this point the drivers
opened fire on them and they beat
a hasty retreat.

KITSUMKALUM ENTHUSIAST HAS
~~ ACTS 10 ENTHUSE WITH

CORN IN THE TASSEL AND TOMATOES IN BLOOM—ONE FARM-
ER WHO CLEARED AND PLANTED OVER FOUR
ACRES IN SIX MONTHS.

That sturdy pioneer of Kitsum-
kalum, R. Braun, is a ‘boomer’
from Boomville on his present
visit, and he not only has a gift
of enthusiasm but produces the
facts to convince with. Every-
thing he says about the country
and what he has proved it cap-
able of producing has a ring of
persoua! pride that is eminently
proper and not boastful. In
speaking of some of his experi-
ments, he said:

“In regard to sweet corn, I have
seven different varieties and it is
now three and a half feet high
and has started tasselling out.
As to tomatoes, which many
people do not believe will ripen
in our country, I have twenty-
two varieties, all in bloom, their
stage being a month ahead of
what it was at this date last year.
They ripened then, and some of
them were as big as a breakfast
cup.

“T have pumpkins in blossom,

eight feet. Also watermelons,
muskmelons and  canteloupes,
all of which are doing remark-
ably well. N

“T have planted thirteen vari-
eties of potatoes, every one of
which has won blue ribbons at
Dominion fairs or at the great
exhibition held in Madison
Square, New York, last year. So
I am pretty sure of having spuds
worth showing at your fall fair.

“Now, there are some people
think the land around us is too
hard to clear to pay. As to that
there is one of my neighbors, J.
Kerg, who in six months cleared
four and a half acres, took out
all the stumps, ploughed it and
planted 50 cherry trees 150 apple
trees and 100 varieties of berries.
He has also planted a vegetable
garden of one acre and has a very
profitable outlook.

climate, and I will tell you what

TION AND FILLED ALL

At the Prince Rupert Club last
evening there was a large gather-
ing of. the members, together
with other representative citi-
zens, lo say farewell to J. M.
Christie, manager of the local
branch of the Canadian Bank of
Commerce for the last six years,
who has been promoted to a sim-
ilar position at Cranbrook, B. C.
Mr. Christie has been an active
member of the club ever since it
was instituted and has filled the
important offices of director, sec-
retary and president.

The proceedings last night
were of an informal character.
Shortly after 9 o'clock, with J. H.
MecMullin, president of the club,
presiding, the members and their
friends assembled in the sitting
room. Mr. MeMuilin briefly ex-
plained that the gathering was
for the purpose of saying fare-
well to an esteemed member and
called upon Judge Young to con-
vey to Mr. Chritie the club’s re-
gret at his departure. In a brief
address the judge said that he
was confident that all sincerely
regretted the removal from the
city of both Mr. and Mrs. Christie.
He referred to the peculiar con-
ditions that exist in the building
up of a city in a pioneer commun-
ity and the lasting friendships
that are formed. Those who had
assembled to say farewell deeply
regretted the departure of Mr,
and Mrs. Christie but wished
them abundant prosperity in their
new home. As tokens of the
good fellowship that existed be-
tween Mr. Christie and the mem-

watch had an engraving of Mr.

Christie’s monogram with an in-
scription on the inside, ‘Pre-
sented to J. M. Christie by the
members of the Prince Rupert
Club.”

Mr. Christie, in a brief address
acknowledged the presentation,
What he had done for the club
had been only a pleasure ard he
felt that he had not merited the
magnificent giits bestowed upen
him. He would not leave Prince
