Conttnuing, Mr. Hazen said that the government would embark on a policy not only i protecting Canada's own coasts and shipplhg. but also of helping in the defence lof the em- pire. Contribution, he added, must be on the ground.-? that Canada wafj a «ielf- respecting part of the empire. There could not be one navy for New Zealand, one for South Africa, one for Australia, another for Canada and another for the British Isles. A navy to be effective must have Individual control. All parts of the empire mUst ..be at war if one were attacked. The empire must be prepared to strike as one united whole.

So diffi- cult are the connections that only a very small portion of the wheat product travels to the AtlanUc seaboard by rail, the remainder making the trlU by the lake steamers from Fort William, or going over the line to Duluth and Minneapolis. There are only about a hundi'ed cars a day sent cast by rail, which represents ohe-sBventh of the total output.

MIMERS MAY RESUME

■ WORK ON MONDAY

X/ONDpN, March 18.— Ths prospect that the coal strike will come to an end within a week is improving. It is learned that the government bill provides for the settlement of this par- llculir strike, and docs not lay down ■the law with regard to future ♦itrlkes. In consideration of the fact that all the parties to the issue have been con- sulted in drafting the measure, it is reasonable to hope that It will pass the various stages within the time stipu- lated by the premier. In which case It Is believed the men may return to work on Mondav.

The prime minister announced In the house today that the government would endeavor to enact the minimum wage bin by the end of the week.

It was learned tonight on good au- thority that the bill would bo a short measure, leaving to the district com- mittee the settlement of the amount of minimum wage, and of the question of omployerd' safeguards. No provis- ion will be made for the compulswy power to onfSrce the ininlmum or pen- alties on cither employers or the nun for breaking a contract.

The L»abor party tonlshl ,!..;».;,.; a resolution not to oppose the bill and the Xatlonailst whij) Issued an urgent refinest for the attendance of the •R*"^n'">nlt«H (i« miiinoii ili.' ineaa-

^^-i: "wrlnK the past half century. That furthest back, he stated, was known as tUo De Cosmos scheme. It was mooted atout fifty-five years ago. Mr. De Cos- mos with Mr. C. E. Redfern, Mr. William WUaon and others, renllzlng that the future development of this part of Bri- tish Columbia depended upon the secur- ing of railway communication with the mainland proposed a line running through the Saanlch peninsula and ef- fecting a iiiiK tion with New West- minster by ferry. It was practically the same thing that the C. N. R. Is now undertaking. Surveys were made, and all necessary preliminary steps taken, but when it came to interesting the legislature the fact that the government of the day did not see eye to eye with some of the promoters caused the pro- ject to fall through. The map. he be- lieved, was to be found In the vaults of Mr. Redfern. the Jeweler.

Then, Mr. Jardlnc added, came the Writish Pacific road. ItB Chief endorser wan Mr. R. P. Rlthet. A packed meeting was held at the Victoria theatre when It was discussed, and met with the full approval of those In attendance. But. when It came to the government, this scheme met the same fate as that which 'preceded it. There foflowed a period of depression. "By all old time Victorians." Continued on I'nge 2. Col. 8.

References to the benefits Penticton must derive from the construction of the Kettle Valley line to the coast evoked loud applause. Even J. .1. Hill had been wakened up by the prospect of competition and had announced that the Great Northern branches from Oro- vllle to Penticton would be buUt this summer.

The premier also hoped to see the Canadian Northern built from Kam- loops to Kelowna, and extended down the whole Okanagan valley. Much as the govemrhnnt had accompllsherl. there was still barely a commencement made of the labors in developing this rich zone.

Mr. Bowser said for the greater pert they were having Socialists alone for opponents. He referred to the great growth ot Penticton which he had first known as a little village ton years ago. It was now a city. He asaln dealt with the general outlines of the gov- ernment's policy.

About 11 o'clock the party left on the steamer Aberdeen for Kelowna. The crowd gathered on the whaff and cheered the ministers as the boat drBw out. At Poachland a large party was picked up going to the Kelowna meet- ing. Kelowna was reached abbut 2 p. m. and the ministers were greetod by a cheering crowd and children wav- ing flags and taken in automobiles to examine the public huildlngH. Another crowded mertiriK was held In thfi opera Cnntlniird on Paso K. f'ol. 8.

peals and of preventing overlapping. At the present time there was no way of preventing people from soliciting char- ity from three or four different bodies as one Institution did not know what another was doing.

After considerable discussion thoAe present practically agreed upon the fol- lowing points: First, that there must be a more businesslike way of handling ;the charity of the city; secondly, that the city had outgrown the provision made in the past to help its poor; third- ly that, as an outcome of this di8cu«- eion, a central organlsatioti should be BO strengthened as to ao{ as a clear- Ing house for thia kind of work and to which all applications fOr charity might be referred. Further, that the business men be asked to ct>ntrtbute through such a body so that each case may be thoroughly Investigated and that the grant contributed by the city be also made t&r«iugh thia ceptral organla«> tion.

As. however, this was the Srst con- ference to dlBcuBs thta subject along these lines It was agreed that no action should be taken until the annual meet- Ing of the Friendly Help on March 2«th and that a request should be made to that body to proyide foif the Introdue^

Mr. Jardlne concluded by BtutlnK that he had no doubt that Victoria and Kb- qulmalt were destined tu become the most Important shipping and manufac- turing centres in the Paclflc northwest.' Such a stage In the country's develop- ment was no time for men to allow them- selves to bo consumed .by petty party Jealousies. It was the occasion when it was most Important that men aaid par- tita should stand together with the one Idea of taking advantage of the full tide in advancing the country along the hlgh- Muy of prosperity. He know that that waa the main desire of the people'H rep- resentatives who had supported Mr. Mc Bride's government for the last nine years. Thslr de.slre was to make British Columbia recognized aa one of the wealthiest and the most Important parts of the British £mpire. (Applauue.)

Mayor BeCkwithi referred 4M»'«|M|M|at rush of work last year. It m& oeui'^ ' conundrum to lilm . how last year's council could havi^ imagined that Mr. Smith could have iindertaken all that work and carried It through 'without a hitch unless the official wari simply a wonder. Work strictly outside the acope of a 'btty engineer had been piled ui)6ri- his shoulders. Mayor Beckwith expressed himself as sorry that Alder- man Humber should have stated that the council had actifllesced In making u clean. sweep In the engineer's depart- ment, such had not been the case.

"You went a long wa>' around to get rid of him" retorted Alderman Hum- ber, and the incident closed,

Mr. Smith In his resignation asked to be relieved of his duties at the end of May. In the meantime a committee composed of Aldermen Stewart, Ander- son and Porter has been appointed to consider the be«t method of securing the services of a succeseor to Mr. Smith

They tove the time of the cars and also the expense of railway construction. One day's run would "•onn.ct the two points. The C".. P. R. want their cars back as nulckly as pos- sible, and with a barge service to Vic- toria from the mainland there w.ould be no dilBcUlty about that matter. A fleet of ten barges would turn the whole trick. What they could bring over would be suttlclent to load a fairly good slsed vessel, and as they could all come on the same day there would be no delay involved for the vessel."

After outlining . his plan for the es- tablishment of Victoria as a grain dis- tributing centre Mr. Paler*on stated that there was some, dissatisfaction at Fort William on account of the ele- vators being h\ the hands of Ameri- can capltall.sts. and that It was as a result of that dissatlsfacllon that the government had been approached with a view to building an itlcvator some- where In the Dominion for the purpose of testing the government ownership Idea. Mr. Paterfson expressed himself as heartily In favor of the Idea, point- ing out that under the prpsont eystom the farmer never knew whether he was fairly treated or not. tn regard to the building of the elevator hprc he stated that they had all the materials here and that theref^rp there would he no dlfflrulty about the matter.

The platform of the Liberal party in signally barren of anyihlng that points to progress.

Wc are unable to illmovfr In the card which Mr. Brewster and Mr. KMlott have presented to the elector of Victoria a Bliigle Indication that they, regard it as the 'duty of the poUlUul party, who.'^e nominees they are, to make the sliRlitest effort to advance the material welfare of the community. Surely It wouKl not hiivc been out of place for them to have Intimated that they would. aW elected. not Btand In the way of progress. They Uj not exhibit even an academic interest In th« development of the city.

What has Victoria to gain by electing ttiese gentlemen? We may all esteem them very much Indeed, but why should «e send them to tfie Legislature to op- pcse every effort that Mr. McBrlde may thake to promote the welfare of thecUy? ^WB any voter in Victoria suggest *j^^jea- Aon, other than a party one. why Mr. Mo- Brlde's government should be de|;eated ftt the forthcoming election, or Vhyk *lien it is sustatoed. as !t trafel/ *"» He, the Infltience of Victoria In the ««xt bouse should be weakened? Those are practical Questiona. and they are infln- ftely of more importance to this pro- gressive city than such proposals as U>cal option, woman suffrage, and so- ^Ued, but undefined. Liberal principles. Tthe two propositions first above n^med 4re purely aeademic at this stag'e lq,l>ro- 9invla1 politic*.

The organ worries over the fact that Mr. McBrlde has not yet pledged liltn- nelf not to hand the Reserve over to the Canadian Norti iflc. Ip can set

point.- But it lis as somewhat

unreasonable to clamor for a Uenlul from Mr. McBrlde of a proposition that has probably not yet entered his mind. When he reaches Victoria h^ will, we think, have something to say on this point. In the meantime may we ask

^bylt la supposed that Mr. McBrlde would be guilty |M|ip||plt ap insane piece

The Mdin- Icnd part of Nova Scotia Is* about tlif same size as thin Island, and has noth- ing like Its resources. There arc several Important seaports on the Xovn Seothi -oast, and It has never been supRrsied that any one of th*m Interfered with tlie prosperity of the others. But let us t-ike an illustration nearer homo. The distance from the International Bound- ary line to the head of Pugot Sound Is about two-thirds the distance from Vic- toria to the northern end of Vancouver I<;lnnd. Disregarding the Kmaller places, there are along the eastern shore of I'liget Sound.

Not the gentle and attractive young laiiy of that nECtne who graces Hideau Hall with her presence, but the .fine steamer of that name, which reached Victoria yesterday. Is tiie Immediate cause' of this article. Kor a descriptioii of the vessel,, her sea-going qualities, and the story of her voyage out, read- ers are referred to the news columns; this reference la' to the enterprise, well- directf^d and coitrageuus, of which her ari^al is jiew evidence.

It is difficult to find words of appre- ciation tioo high for. the maittoe'r' in -whfdh t})« Canadian Pacific Railway comptihy I's dfeatinff wttli Vancouver Island and yi«?torla. Only a few years ago the In- *llb£eiits 'df : that company here were small; now t^ey represent many tniI)|9i}B of (^llOl^a,^ and every dollar has been in- vebied in> undertakings- of the greatest public advantage. The purchase and ex-<> temtion of the E. & N. Ralllway, the er- ection and extension of the Kmpress Hot^l, the building of great docks and wareUpusea, the fleet of splendid steamers having their headquarters here, the employment of local shipyards and workshops, the far-seeing policy for the expansion of tourist trade, these anO'btliBt things mean nioip^ for the !■;- land and 'for ^his olt|p thaxi\'can be stated in words. . ,

Not the h$^st saitisfactory feature of the Canadian Pacific Sf^amshtp coast- Wise service is its safety. The company has done everything that Is humanly possible to protect those who trust themselves to Its hands j^nd to carry, them In snfety «rt.th#<r d*«tlBiMoas. Of course all perils cannot be guarded against absolutely, but there Is on the part of the public a feeling of confi- dence in the management of this com- pany's service on land and sea which is almost unique.

It S«» fortUAttle for us, as indeed it is for all Canada, that this great tran«- portatlon agency is under the control of a man with so masterly a kind as that of Sir Thomas Shaughnesay. We re- call having Written, at .the time he was chosen for his present important post, that the public would find iii htm not only one who had genius in plannias^ but an unequalled faculty for the p«r- fectlon of details.

Joye'd by Victoria and the fsland. In Mr. Marpole and Captain Troiip he has looal' advisers, bts confidence in whom Is fully eqtialled by the oonftdeneo which the public extendi to thenu..

Senator Macdonald ^has v^ry properly direi't'wl the attention of the govern- ment to the necessity of improving the facilities foi' handling the Prairie grain crop. He has given not-lce of the fol- lowing resolution:

That it is expedient that early and particular attention should be given to tile |»«>HnB of — i'neilltaUng t'he — Hwvlnjf 9f ffraln in thos;? parts of Alberta and 'Saskatchewan most remote from the means of trans]>ortation.

To provide, where necessary and pos- sible, covering and protection' for thresheil grain awaiting transportation. . That this should receive more Imme- diate attention than grain in localities more accessible for transportation to the terminal elevators.

There being good reason to anticipate an Increased crop annually for some years owing to the increased immigra- tion to the Western Provinces — every indttstrlouiB family adding to the produc- tion— the Question of transportation be- comes caute and serious, and should be grappled with at every opportunity of- ferlnir.

Senator Macdonald does not say so In his resolotlcm, but he is as well aware' as any one that the best way is for tills grain to be routed to the Pacific Co«at, and we expect that In moving his . resolution he will lay stress upon this point;

The Conservative candidates offer Vic- toria a policy of development: the Lib- eral caii^idtttes "offer them woman suf- frage.

Th« . session of parliament at Ottawa cofitlnues to be uneventful and a pro- rogation by Easter seems to be wholly, probable.

The Turks are going to try conclU"' sions with the Italians on the sea. Their old-faShloned craft are to meet the mod- ern vessels of Italy on the sea C'est .. mearnlfloua' mais ce n'est pas kt guerre.

One of the few paraUela in history to the suffragette erase in Bngland is to be found In the story of the Children's Crusade In 1212, when 60,000 chlldisen set out to rescue the Holy Sepulehre from (he Infidel. Both illustrate how widespread emotional Insanity may be- tsdsne.. . .

' ft is given out that the Conservative party In the United Kingdom may op* pose the government Bill to provide for the settlement* of the eo|ll #trlke. It seems to have been written by the Fates that the CcBaer\'ative party In the Unit- ed Kingdom shall commit every conceiv-* able blunder.

Great Stock of Good Towels

A Van'couver man wants to know ir the provincial Aovtrninent will have to "Implement" tile guaranteed railway bonds. If they hcII for l^ss than par, and th' World of that city gives edl- torlol prominence to tlie letter. The World expresses no opinion on the sub- ject. Llljc Br'er Coon "It ain't .layln' nothlh' " about "ln>pletncntlng" bond Is- sues. For the Information of tho World we may say that the province is under no such liability.

The Liberal or«ati retitrna to Ita oe*' eetUon that the Canadian Northern ftail- way can compel the government to hand over to it the former Songhees Reserve fefiJ'fttue of the section In its contract itH^rabk It to free grants of vacant Crown lands for divisional points and townsito purposes. it threatens tl.c province wltli litigation if tills claim is resisted; not, of eoni'.i, that It will Initiate litigation, but that the railway company will do so. Just what author- ii\ the organ lias to apeak for tho Can- adian Northern Pacific in this behalf we are not In a position to say, but we venture the assertion that the company never has contemplated anything of the kind, and that under no circumstances that are likely to arise would It under- take to advance so monstrous a claim against the government to which it owes Its existence as a railway company.

The pretence that the former Reserve is vacant crown land subject to suclr rights as the K. & N. Ttaiiway Company may have therein l' rionsence. If

the Reserve is vacaiu irown lands It la optsn lo pre-emption, and ',vou!d any

OPPOSITION CANDIDATES' ADDRESS

To the Electors of Victoria:

In acoeptlnj tbe nor.itnution to rep- resent the Liberal party In the City of Victoria at this provincial election, wo wish to lay before the electors the following' statement of our political principles:

We are In entire accord with the plat-

torm of the Ijiberale of Drttlsh Oelum- bla, adopted by the Vancouver con- vention March 1, 1912, and particular- ly:

1. We believe In bringing all depart- ments of municipal government under direct control of the mayor and council: and that the abolition of the police commission and board of licensing com- missioners,, or their being constituted elective bodies. Is an imperfitlve^ |^bUo< necessty. . ' "

8. We believe In extending the right' of franchise to women; and are impress- ed wlih the especial necessity of so am- ending the Municipal Act as to allow women full rti^t ot fraachlas at all ihunfolpat eleotfOns.

t. We believe In the absolute prohlbl- tfon of tbe U^uor traffic: and am • meang tQwarda that end ive believe In; the adopti6n OJT Ihe' local option' pollfsy; and of raaiitng-ltfl adoption Qfe^«nd«&t only on b straight 'ma|<»^ty'.yo^ 'ttJT' |B«' people affected.

4. We believe that the appointment of road bosses and all government offl. dais entrusted with |he expenditure oC public money gbpuld lM..CMtfa regard- less of polities. .

•w«P,y,W« |W(W<5y of gtviiis.gre»t<ur pub-

Krom the num- beivo% people present and from the gen- eral enthusiasm of the meeting It may be taken for granted that If the newly formed club is not a auccess It will not be for lack of united support from the entire community*.

The committee appointed to go Into the various questions In connection with the formation of the club made their report to. the meeting, and after some discussion it was decided a sufficient area on the recreation ground should be levelled and improved so as to make a good pitch to begin with. ,. ^

The following offlcera were elected: Hon. president, Ool. Hobday; president, John Hlrach, Eaq., J.P.: vice-presidents
