Elevator Question Will Experiment with a Few Elevators at Fort William under Grand Board Super- vision Won t Purchase all Outright Amendment Made to Establish Sam. Ottawa, Ont., Feb. 27. During the further consideration of the grain act in the Commons yesterday Hon. G. B. Foster gave some further explanation of.the policy of the government in re gard to the Ownership of terminal ele vators. He said the government would lease or purchase two and perhaps three elevators at Fort William and they would be run under the super- vision of the grain board. The gov- ernment, he said, did not propose to undertake the responsibility of going in for the purchase of all the terminal elevators, but the experiment to be made would be upon a large enough scale to demonstrate the truth or oth- erwise. of the charge that there have been dishonest practices in connection with the operation of these elevators. Incidentally, the minister safd, he was Very well satisfied that there had been little or no dishonesty practiced during 1910-1911. The attitude of the Opposition members was critical. Mr. Knowles sald tbat f Premier Borden had undergone a chenge of opinions from when he was in the west last summer, he could inform the house. ple Seeds and Mixing. should go all the way in connection with this matter or nowhere. Mr, Knol s proposed to wider the clause which provides that no one managing or operating terminal ele- Vators can buy or sell grain, but by an additional proviso it should supply any one interested in terminal eleva- tors. After a long discussion the minister took the statement under ad- visement. At a late hour Mr. Foster moved and presented bis amendment providing for the establishment of sample seats and mixing. The Opposition was disposed to oppose the amendment on the score that it was. but a plan to allow mixing to take place. Mr. Oliver read a letter from Mr. Roderick Mackenzie, secretary of the Manitoba Grain Growers Association in which he declares against the pro- posal. Arthur Meighen supported the amendment, He said that thousands of farmers were in favor of It In the early part of the session Mr. MacDonald of Pictou, brought up the question of the apparent attempts of the National Association of Great Britain to bai the Ross Rifle bythe adoption of a rule in regard to the attachments of sights with which the Ross rifle on accout of its construc- Uon cannot comply. He accused the association of doing a lot of quibbling afd of treating Canadians meagrely at the meet. Col, Sam. Hughes, Minister of Mil- itia, agreed with Mr. MacDonald in practically all that he said, and in T retosing tis speech expressed doubt as to whether the D. R. A. would this year send the team to Bisley. He traced the opposition to the Ross rifle in England to the manufacturers of small arms and announced that the Canadian government bad offered to loan the British ten thousand long Ross rifles which would put the two countries on exactly the same footing. London, Feb. 27. Lord Choyles- more, chairman of the National Rifle Association told the Canadian Asso- ciated Press to-day that he had noth- ing to. say regarding the Ross Rifle difficulty, excepting merely that the Sutherland Sight was outside the scope of the regulations. He also denied that Canadians were unduly interfered with or treated different from the other competitors at Bisley. GOLD FOUND NEAR GOCHRANG Town is Full of Excitement Everyone has Staked Claim, (W.
