: ch - ) e ROAD TO GROW'S NEST RAILWAY LINE S SURVEYED THROUGH NORTH KOOTENAY It is Believed that the Harriman Sys- tem is at the Back of the Under- taking, and that Road is Designed to Connect with Oregon Short Line Will Meet Crow s Nest Road at Burmis. Frank, Alta. The surveying crew in the employ of the. Carbon Hill Coal company, running a railroad survey up the South Fork of the Old Man river to cross the main range via the North Kootenay pass, is now nearing the summit and it is expected the work will be completed before severe weather sets in: Engineer Winters in charge of the work was in Frank the first. of the week. He states that as/ ' iid progress as could be expected. un- Ser rather unfavorable conditions is being made and that he expects to fin- ish the survey to the summit at least. Contrary to the supposition that has been general with regard to the build- ing ef a railroad threugh the North Kooteriay pass, which has -been that a long tunnel-at the summit would be necessary in order to get a reasonable , grade, ineer Winters states that no * tunnel will be necessary and that a very fair grade will be obtained. , There has been much ap eae sot in- dulged in as to who is behind the Car- bon Hill company in this project but no move has thus far been made cal- culated to tip off the hand of the real foe any people are of the be- lief, however, that it is.a Harriman system undertaking, designed to con- nect ultimately with the Oregon Short line. - That it is a bona fide railroad build- ing project and not merely a prelimin- ary designed to head some one else off is indicated by the fact that the road is being located as-the work progresses, leaving only the cross sectioning to be done. It is said that contracts will be let early in the spring for the begin- ning of construction. The. line will 'eonnect with the Crow s Nest road at Burmis. : Used a Horsewhip on Mr, Churchill Bristol, Eng. A wild-eyed. suffra- gette armed with a horse whip, -at- tacked Winston Churchill . here. - Churchill and his wife had just ar- rived by train, when a woman sud- denly darted: out from the crowd and eommenced to belabor the: cabinet minister with a rawhide. Churchill promptly seized his assailant, and af- ter a struggle, succeeded in wrenching the whip from her hands. The suffra- gette was arrested and imprisoned. At the police station Churchill s' as- sailant was identified as: Theresa Gur- nete. She wag smartly gowned. The Officers who made the arrest said that the suffragette broke through the po- lice line on the station plattorm; and - bringing down the lash of a long whip wort upon the minister s head, shouted: Take that you brute. ? -Churchill s hat broke the force of the blow, but the lash curled about, his face and left a red mark. As the police seized the woman she pointed scornfully at the minister/s dented hat, and with -her face flushed -with: excitement, cried: That s what. you ve getten and -you wilkget more of,the same from British, A: Gamblers Cannot Evade this Law Ottawa. H. H. Miller s proposed amendments to the criminal code in respect to race track gambling will contain . a number of important clauses. e : One clause will read: The. word place includes any place, whether en. closed or not, and whether it is, or is not, a fixed place and whether there is, or is. not, exclusive right of use. The object of this clause. is to over- come the ruling of the courts.that on when a bookmaker.moves about from place to place on the track, he can- not be said lace for the his business. purpose of. carrying on -The Wheat Crop for Year Very Good Washington. There has been an in- 4 hundred million bushels, or in lly on , aecording to: the United States department of agriculture, in the production, of wheat ,recently harvested in. six countries of the northern hemisphere, which in 1908 produced practically two-thirds of the world s. supply. ese countries embrace Canada, France, Hungary, Russia, Roumania, the United States. After two years of unusually abundant yields, the word s production of hops this year, rane to reliable trade estimates, will fall to a lower point than in any. year since 1892. : Wjill Get Ft. William Elevators : ina. Negotiations are on foot for the purchase of the C. P. R. sys- tem of terminal elevators at oFrt Wil- liam by. the Grain Growers Co. It is unders - that negotiati are pro- ressing favorably, and the deal will likely be closed before long. The con- trol of the terminal elevators. would place soe oan growers ga Co. in very 8 sition, as the compan is backed by the great majority of the farmers of the west.

Industrial accidents occur- ring- to 316 individual work people in Canada during the month of Septem: ber, 1909, were reported to the depart- ment of labor. Of these 1 were fata and 225 resulted in serious injuries. In the preceding month there were 126 fatal and 264 non-fatal accidents re- pore a total of 390, and: in Septem- er, 1908, there were 102 fatal-and 134 non-fatal accidents, a total of 256. f Bedford Was Vischarged London. Edward William Bedford the Canadian who was arrested here last month upon his own confession that he had murdered Ethel Kinrade at Hamilton, Unt., in February last, was discherged when arraigned in the Bow. Street police court. Police in+ vestigation failed to substantiate his confession, which the prisoner finally admitted to be false.

With the boom of guns from Nepean Point, with the banner of Engand flying from every mast head of Parliament Hill, with all the usual pomp and spectacle of military escorts and guards of honor, with an unus- ually large concourse of notables pres- ent to witness the ceremony, His Bx- cellency Earl Grey formally opened the second session of the eleventh par. liament of Canada. There was more than the usual inter- est manifested in the opening both on the part of members and on the rt of citizens of the capital. It was the last occasion on which his excellency would: officiate, his term of office ex- piring next year, and the session will necessarily mark a new era in respect to Canada s relation to the empire and to the stage of the world s politigs. Members, who are gathered in larg- er numbers than usual for the open- ing, are already discussing the gov- ernment s. programme of haval legisla- tion with more show of interest in coming events than has marked any previous opening of recent years. All the ministers of the crown were present with the exception of the post- master-general, Hon. Rudolphe Le- mieux, who will. not be back in the capital from Europe until the end of the month. In addition to the atten- dance in the senate chamber of the us- ual galaxy of. the country s elite there were the three lieutenants-gover- nors, namely, His Hon. Lieut, Gibson, of Ontario; Sir Alphonse Pelletier, lieu- tenant-governor of Quebee, and Hon. Alexander Henderson, governor of Yukon. 3 The new Chinese consul at Ottawa and the German consul from Montreal made their first appearance with the consular corps present. A feature of the opening proceedings in the Com- mons: was the introduction of a new minister of the crown, Hon. MacKen- 'zie King, by Sit Wilfrid Laurier and Hon. Mr. Paterson,: Hon. Mr. King s mother,. who saw many years ago. her father, William Lyon Mackenzie in- troduced to the old parliament of Up- per and Tower Canada, looked down from the gallery this afternoon on the introduction of her son as the young- est cabinet minister in the history of Canada. ; z His excellency, who was escorted from Rideau Hal by a company of Princess Louise Dragoon guards and was received on Parliament Hill by a guard of honor from the Governor- General s Body. guards, entered - the senate chamber with his suite and members of the headquarters military staff in full panoply of gold lace and scarlet uniforms. rt Richard Cart- wright, as leader of the senate, and Hon. Speaker Kerr, reeeived him. The Black Rod was s nt to summon: the loyal commoners for the lower house.

THE GAZETTE, OLDS, ALBERTA. RETURN TO THE FARM PROMINENT RAILROAD MAN HAS A UNIQUE PLAN Wm. C. Br wn, President of the New York Central, Says the Farm is the Place for the Unemployed is Urg- ing His Company to Establish Ex- perimental Farms to Give Employ- ment to the Idle. New York. Legislation enough for the present, argued men who manage railroads; furthed control pleaded leg- islators; co-operation in the interests of fair dealing, proposed shippers, and others. These varied views on the great common carriers of the country were expressed at the first annual ban: quet of the Railway Business Associa- tion at the Waldorf Astoria. The as- sociation which is a sort of self-im- posed medium of conciliation between goers at the table more than six hun- red men interested in railrdads. George Post, president of the associ- atioh, was toastmaster. The keynote in his address was Conference, Con- ciliation and Concession by all. Con- cerned. Representative W. Iowa, author of the -Hepbyrn Act, sug- g sted that ther were railroad matters over which the government should have control. For.instance, he asked, what serious hurt could come. to railroads if their capital could not be increased until approved by gov- ernment authority? Wm. C.- Brown, president of the New. York Cenfral lines, declared that In time of depression, our unem- ployed will be numbered by millions, and suggested: the increased pursuit of agriculture as a. means to. forestall such conditions. He said he intended to recommend to the New York Cen- tral lines that the road operate at its own expense under the auspices of the state agricultural: department, a series of experimental farms. This would return to the rural dis- tricts the preponderance of poliueal power, he said, where it.can more safely lodged than in congested centres of population, already ominously pow- erful in many of our states. Hepbuin, of Americans Have Invested in Canada Toronto. That United States . capi- talists are interested in Canadian in- dustiies to the extent of at least 226,- 000,000, is the statement in an article in the Monetary Times, which has completed a four months investiga- tion. The following .is the 'y of the figures: : One hundred and sixty-eight United States companies, averaging a capital of 600,000 -to 100,800,000; United States investment in British Colum- bia mills and.timber, 50,000,000; land deals in British Columbia, 2,'400,000; packing plants, 5,000,000; United tates investments in lumber and mines, prairie provinces, 5,000,000; Impl distributing houses, 4- 000,000; land deals, praitie provinces, 10,000,000.

Walter Scott says: In the west we realize that.so as Canada is a part of the empire, and that empire must be- defended, Canada should lend her . aid, The westerners favor the plan outlined by the government of a Canadian navy, as opposed to direct. contributions. Of course they do not think a great deal about these things. They are more in- terested in railways just now. Mr. Scott has been visiting his old home at Ilderton, in London township, and is the railways and the public had as its CHURCHILL OR NELSON Reports on Two Routes are Submitted to the Railway Depart- ment. Ottawa. The most interesting fea- ture of the annual report of the minis- ter of railway issued for the people of the Canadian west is the remarks made by M. J. Butler, deputy minis- ter on the Hudson Bay railway sur- veys. After referring in a general way to the work done by surveying parties in 1908, under John Armstrong, the de- uty minister makes the following re- Fecencts to Armstrong s reports: It appears that two routes - have been found one to Fort Churchill, and the other having its terminal on the bay at Fort Nelson, on the river Nel- son. He sets down the length of the Churchill route from The Pas at 465 miles, of which about 20, miles have been surveyed. And the cost at 11l- en The length of Port Nelson route being 87. miles and estimated costs 8,808,350; to which in both cases the.cost of terminals has to be added. He considers that the probable total cost of either road would be seventeen or eighteen million dollars. .This esti- mate; however, as he explains, -is based on incomplete surveys and ex- ploratory reports. 3 Unit prices used in Dr. Armstrong s estimate are considered too low. e Sensing observes that - while Churchill harbor seems to be the best natural harbor on the west coast of the bay, much excavation, probably in rock, would be required to obtain the necessary depth for a commercial arc As for the river Churchill itself, he states that it is full of rapids and falls, and not-of much use as a port route, though offering great -facilities electrification of the railway if desired. Port. Nelson harbor is described as requiring improvement. by dredging a channel for a distance of about ten miles, but this would probably -be an easy matter. ; Historic Data Given to Canada Ottawa. A most important gift has been: made to the people of Canada by the British government. This is the eomplete and original- qorrespondence sent by the, Governor-General to the home office: from the year 1791 to 1840, the period during which Upper and Lower Canada were separate pro- vinces. : i After a cursory glance over some of the papers Dr. Doughty, Dominion archivist,.in whose care. they have been placed, is unable to say. that they will have the effect of modifying in some cases, and of correcting in others, data which have hitherto been considered historically ate. The correspondence deals with such inter- esting. subjects as the division of the country into Upper and Lower Canada in 1791, the abolition of -slavery in. Upper Canada in 1793, the exclusion of judges from eee in 1811, the first treaty with the Northwest Indians in 1817, the Earl of Selkirk signing it on behalf of King George III., the re- bellion of 1837, the beginning of diffi-' culties regarding United States fisher-' men in British waters, and ending with the union of the two provinces under the. name of.the Province: of Canada, the year after the death of Lord Durham. 2 : Fish. Catch of Canada 26 Millions The cag hi tae Catedse wae Stacia 1908 was 25,451,085. This is the most significant statement made in the an- nual report of. the fisheries branch of the department of marine: and fisher- ies. e revenue in 1908 was less than that of 1907 by 48,264, and less than 1906 by 828,400. This was the second highest year on record, 1905 being the record year. x For that year the total. revenue was from two and a Aberer to four und a quarter million dollars ahead of the years 1902-34. Although the total for 1908 is less than for the two. preceding years, the upward tendency has. been caught in Canadian waters had a total value of over a million.dollars in 1908. They. were: Salmon, 4,814,200; lob- ser, 4,200,279; cod, 3,361,409; her- ring, 2,471,963; mackerel, 1,336,810; halibut and whitefish come next in or. der the catch being valued at 819,626. . action, affirmi: for the development. of power for the - well-maintained. Six commercial-fish WILL REJECT THE BILL BRITISH HOUSE OF LORDS WILL DEFY THE COMMONS Lord Lansdowne Gives Formal Notice of-his Intention.to move for the Re- jection of the Budget Bili News- papers Describe Lord Lansdowne s Motion as an Act of War,and a Conspiracy Against the People. London, Eng. In the House of Lords, Lord Lansdowne, leader of the opposition, gave the formal and ex- ted notice of his intention to move for the rejection of the budget bill when it comes up next Monday. His motion, he said, would be expressed thus: I move that this house are not justified in giving its consent to this ill. until it has been submitted to the judgment ofthe country. The terms of Lord Lansdowne s mo- tion to reject the budget, of which he ave formal'notice in the house of fords, were,,communicated to Premier Asquith at an early hour, and discuss- ed by the cabinet council during the course of the day. The Unionists an- ticipate that 300 peers will support, Lord Lansdowne whilst the suppers. ct the erent in the house-of lords numbers only forty. On. the rejection of the byfiget bill it is expected that the premier will move in the house of commons reso- lution strongly condemning the peers the sole right of the commions to deal with matters of taxa- tion, and declaring the eal attempt to force a dissolution to. it tional, What other course Premier Asquith will take is not yet known, but it is quite unlikely that the cabinet. will resign unless the government is de- feated at the elections. Some measures. are necessary to meet the 4inancal atta involved in the rejection of the budget, and to this end it-is suggested that con- ference of party leaders should be held to devise means. In the meantime Winston Churchill is first 'in the field with a manifesto from the Liberal standpoint. In a letter on the situation he claims that the pow r. to force a dissolution is the prerogative of the crown, and that finance is the exclusive privilege of the house.of commons. Therefore, he argues, the rejection of the budget is a double invasion by the lords, both of royal -prerogative and of the com- mens privilege, and. further, if the lords establish: at the al electi their right. to control the country s finance, they will make themselves the predominant power. in the state by their ability to destroy the budget, stop the King s revenue, and force the dissolution of parliament every year. The election seme will now be carried on with redoubled energy: The Liberal newspapers describe Lord Lansdowne s motion as'an act of war. The Daily Chronicle, in an edi- torial, declares that not since the re- volt of 1688 has the right of the com- mons to. control the Sako of the country been challenged. The lords, said the paper, have chosen the way of destruction.--It-is as though some malign influence has been at work to bring the house of lords ;before the people s gaze with all its-imperfections on its head.

E Developing Oi in Southern Alberta Frank, Alta Preparations for ex- loiting:the oil prospects on the South ork of the Old Man river are being made on a large scale by the Chicago- Alberta oil company. The company has built a wagon road up the river to within: a few miles of the summit of the main range of the rockies and is now engaged in hauling in a drilling rig to a point about seven miles from the summit where drilling can be s t up. Camps have been built and op- erations will be carried:on throughout the winter.

The arinual report of the department of labor atates that durin the two years which the Lemieux a has been in force up to March 31 last, 55 disputes have been referred for set- tlement under its terms.

All Want the Mill Fort William. H. W. C.

Lord Dundonald, writing to the Morning Post, suggests that each town and populous country in Britain should acquire large estates in Canada and the other dominions for relieving the unemployed problem on the condition that instead of spending their money. on useless. relief works all men should be emigrated under contract. to keep: to their agricultural communities for a specified time. The Morning Post editorially em- phasizes that Canada wants men and not loafers, but endorses a duly safe- arded scheme and hopes that Dun- lonald will see what practical steps can be taken immediately. : The Standard also endorses Lord Dundonald s proposals remarking that it is a business proposition and as Lord Dundonald says, it. is a paying inv. on the one hand and lt;a means of employment for the workless on the other. : : , Titles For Police Calgary.

Admiral Lord Char- les Beresford, responding to the toast of The Navy at the Delphin dinner in Bristol, said tiat the reason t supremacy of the sea was necessary to Great Britain. was because her po- sition among the nations was unique. She. is the head of a world-wide empire, whose frontiers are sea fron- tiers, whose roads are sea roads and whose trade is sea-borne trade. As regards Great Britain herself, she is precisely as dependent upon sea-borne food and supplies of all sorts as a Lighshonse, Every other at nation is whOlly or nearly self-supporting.

The two-power standard has gone and it can only be recovered with the help of the over- seas nations; but they are only begin- ning and it will be five years at least before they can contribute to the naval strength of the empire. 5 Good Pay and Temperance voronto.

Fourth Quarter, For Nov. 21, 1909. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Il Cor. xi, 21, to xii, 10 Memory Verses, 24, 25 Gold- en Text, Ii Cor. xii, 9 Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The topic of this lesson is Paul's Story of His Life, and yet that seems to be more fully told in his testimony before Agrippa in chapter xxvi, or even in his address from the castie stairs in chapter xxii, or more concisely in Phil. i, or more fully by putting these three records together, The verses as- signed us for today s study are rather a resume of his sufferings, with spe- cial reference to his being stoned to death at Lystra and his marvelous ex- perience at that time. With such a record as that in chapter xi, 23-28. who is there today who has anything that can begin to compare with it in the matter of suffering for Christ's sake? At the time of his conversion.the Lord said to Ananias, I will shew bim how great things he must suffer for my sake (Acts ix, 16),.and this seems fo our eyes as-if He had fill d the bill quite fully. Let us ucderstand a lit- -tle more fully. the service of suffering as set forth ip Rom. v, 3; Phil. , 29; Col, 1,.24; Rev. i, 10, and. elsewhere. It Is made unmistakably plain that by the suffering of Christ in our stead, an our.sin bearer, all who receive Him are made oteet to be partakers of the inheritance, having in Him redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins (Col. i, 12-14). a s There is, however, another phase of. - the suffering question in Heb. fi. 10, where it speaks of bringing us to His glory and of Him as the captain of our. salvation being made perfect ihreugh sufferings. He fs our high priest, who -can be touched with the. feeling of our infirmities. for He was in all points tempted like as we are (Heb. iv, 15). Now, since by His atonement He has made us kings and priests unto God, -having wasted us from our sins in His own blood, and we afte to reign with Him on the earth (Rev. 1, 5, 6;.v, 10), we must re- meinber that to be Stted to reign with Him we must suffer with Him (I Tim. il, 12, by His atonement made fit for bis presence, but by our.suffer- ing with Him here as His redeemed oner made fit to fill the place In His kingdom which He is preparing for us while He prepares us for it; hence.we bate a little light on the great mystery of the believer s sufferings as seen every where in greater or tess degree. If by His grace we are patient under. all our trials we are winuing for our- selves a special crown the crown of life (Jas. 1, 12; Rev. il, 20), which we shall have to cast at His feet in that. day. And not only so, but. the power of Christ is seen upon to His glory. . the patience under trial as it could not otherwise be. seen. Paul therefore soe eeeet slaills will infirmities that tae -pure. may rest upon me (xii, 9). This is something like Phil. 1,20, where he says. Christ shalt be magnified in my body, whether It.be by life or by death. While Paul had unusual fellowship 4n suffering, he bad. also some unusual - texelations. Not only was bis cou- version unique, but the various mani- . festations of. the Lord to him after- wurd were very remarkable, as was also the revelation of the mystery of - which he so often speaks, He tells us that, lest the abundance of the reve- the Canadian prime minister, has tations should unduly exalt bim, there was given him a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan, to buffet him. He tells us that be asked the Lord three times to deliver bim from it, but the answer was, My grace is sutticient for thee, for my strength is. made per- fect In weakness (verse 9). 1 do not know how we can be quite sure as tu what this thorn in the flesh was till Paul himself sball some day tell us if it is best for us to know. Some one has said that we are not told what it was in order that if any one bas 2 thorn in the flesh he may, find a bit of comfort In supposing that that was- just-what Paul had. Tbis certainly is true that if any believer bas.a phys- ical intirmity.and cannot get it rewoy- ed'by prasxer or by the physician's skill then the auswer to Paul nitist be ac- cepted: and th Lord trusted for grace to bear it meekly for His glory, for, while these words were said to Paul, they were written for us. S As to the special vision and revela- tion of our lesson, it seems to bave been about the time that Paul was stoned to death at. Lystra, and it Js quite probable that while Paul's dead body was being dragged out of Lystra (Acts aiv, 19 be was in the third heaven, or paradise, which he, bere de- scribes, and saw. and beard things that he could not put into earthly, language. We have no record of ansthing that Se as Lazarus of Bethany said when he , came back from the dead. probably because words could not utter it. The best thing I bave ever read on these heavenly realities is The Trance of Rev. William Tennent, once a minis- ter at Freehold, N. J. who was dead for three days and afterward preach- ed the gospel for many years. It isa little tract published by Miss M. 5. Munson. 77 Bible House, New York. The foundation of all that is beautiful in this lesson is to be able to say, I know a man to Christ (xil. 2), for un- less we are in Christ we are certainly lost, but being In Him all is well for time and eternity. Then to be able to say truly Christ liveth In me (Gal. fi, 20); as Is the privilege of every true believer. insures the manifestation of His life in us.
