This expectation does not seem to be justified yet but evidently the government is going to be ready for any eventuality and the opposition is movin? Just as fast. Already the line-UD in many of the constituencies is fairly clear as a result of secret missions by cabinet ministers, conferences between party managers and all those other mysterious preliminaries which are I part of a pre-election or election jyear. In the first place. It is taken for ' granted that the cabinet wfll be reorganized on the eve of the poll or earlier. The lines of reorganisation are not clear and probably have no been considered definitely but it 1 ukrn for granted that some of the present cabinet will retire from politics during the next year oi eighteen months. Hun William Atkinson, minister of agriculture, is said to desire the repose of public life and Hon. Joshua Hlnchliffe, minister of education, has been suffering Indifferent health for some time. It is safe to say that the cabinet will not be as large as It Is now when It appeals for a second term of power. Liberal Government On the other side Liberal leaders are already building up a prospective Pattullo government which they are confident will be elected. With Mr. Pattullo himself running In Prince Rupert. J. W. deB.

Sees Signs of Prosperity in West QUEBEC, June 2: Travelling by easy stages, and bringing back with him an impression of dominant optimism which he found exlstant in Western Canada, Hon. Frank Carrel. M1.C, has returned to the city from a trip which occupied nearly a month, in which he visited many of the larger cities in the golden west, and which took him to the Pacific Coast. The journey was made in connection with a project which Mr. Carrel and a number of his associates have sponsored, to boost an "Intra-Emplre Crusade." by the inauguration of an "Exchange Goods Week'' in which Eastern and Western Canada are to co-operate in an interchange of their products. "I found the west looking as fresh and fragrant as ever, and with its people Imbued with the same optimistic spirit for the future, as they had when I passed over the isame ground eight years ago," said Hon. Mr. Carrel. "Pessimism seemed to be non-existent and I found little or no signs of bolshevism among the Canadian-born, while the foreign element, or a large .section of It seems comparatively frse from it in fact the latter seemed to be more Interested In the future of the Dominion than mdst of us realize." , Today's Train Away Late on Account of Slide Near Jasper Due to a large slide and washout ten ml.es west of Red Pass Junction which earned out a small bridge, the regular train, due from i till 7 a.m. tomorrow.

After 20 years of intermittent study of the areas comprising the headwaters of the Fraser River, as well as the catch-basins emptying into the Skeena River and other northern waterways, it is demonstrated that the Coast Range can be bored through at several places to release heads of water up to 3,000 feet for the development of hydro-electric power. One possibility is the development of 1.430,000 h.p. by the diversion of waters in the area of Chllco Lake and Homathko River through a tunnel bore of nine and one halt miles. This would create a head of 3,000 feet, which could be utilized for power development at a plant situated at Dean Channel Transmission lines could carry the enormous power developed over an area, if nearly one-third of the Province f British Columbia. A choice of al ternative routes northerly from a ooints on the mainland opposite Queen Charlotte Island, with bores through the range not more than ten miles in length, would permit of the development of 2.500,000 h.p. in the aggregate, ranging from 657,-000 h.p. to 800.000 h p. Klmsqult River Another 800,000 h.p. could be developed from a head of 2.000 feet on the Klmsqult River on the mainland opposite to Graham Island by driving tunnels between nine and one half to nine and three quarters miles in length through the Coast Range and tapping the headwaters of the Skeena and Nechako Rivers with Eutsuk and Whitesail Lakes. The available waterpowers in British Columbia are now calculated at sltshtly under 2.000.000 h.p. at "ordinary minimum flow." The magnitude of the reserve of energy I which could be taoped by the exe cution of the engineering projects mentioned Is therefore obvious. Transmission lines could carry the power great distances for the operation of light, power and industrial enterprises. The distance from one of the outlets mentioned to Greater Vancouver is 150 miles. The withdrawal of water from the head- the East at 10:40 this morning. lj waters of the Fraser River would reported twenty hours and twenty: affect the flow of that stream by minutes late which means that It six to ten percent. The cost of de-wlll not arrive from the Bast un-1 velopment would. It Is contended, permit of the production of electrical enenry at not more' than $100 per horsepower. eady discussed trade preparatory o the conference with Canada, Australia. New Zealand. South Africa. Newfoundland. India and Southern Rhodesia. CAPTAIN IS CASTIGATED Finding of Court of Inijufry is Very Critical of Navigation of Steamer Prince David The full text of the finding of the marine board of inquiry at St George's. Bermuda, on the recent stranding of the Canadian National Steamships steamer Prince David has been received on this coast and the document has proven to be very critical of the navigation of C&pt. Charles Wallace McKay and the officers under him at the time of the wrecs. The concluding paragraph of the finding reads as follows: "After giving the fullest consldi eration to all the facts and circumstances which have been laid before us. we unhesitatingly come to the conclusion tnat the captain, under the existing conditions, failed to navigate his ship in a proper and seamanllks manner, that the neeond and third officers kepi a negligent watch and that, owing to such failure and neglect, the ship was stranded on the reefs." The Prince David was recently salvaged and is now receiving' repairs in the Marlttmes. IS CHOSEN MODERATOR Rev. Robert Johnston of Ottawa Ii New Head of Presbyterian Church In Canada LONDON. Om..
