His pubiie utterances make it look if his opinions shifted with the wind that blows from Ottawa. As it is done by Borden, so, it are as seems, must it be done by Me- Bride. The Provincial premier declines to take an independent stand. He will not hold by his own declarations. He shows that he is less than a man. He is a Conservative, and that is all, In 1909 Sir Richard wanted a Canadian navy. In 1912 he moved a resolution urging the Dominion government to pro- vide immediate naval protec- tion for the Pacific coast. | At the Revelstoke convention last fall he expressed the same view in his address. Now he favors a policy of contributions. He is no longer concerned with the profection of the Pacific. Well, which is it? Was he sincere before or he only sincere now? is 1 THIS WILL NOT HELP OUR FARMERS. In the new United States tariff as it will finaliy go into the statute books agricultural implements of every descrip- tion are placed on the free list, ment, nails, lumber, coal, har- ness, wagons, sewing machines and dozens of other articles used on every farm in_ the country. So far as agricul- ture is concerned, the greater part of the burden of protec- tion has been lifted in the United States. Canada, on the other hand, although a greater percentage of its production is primarily agricultural than in the United States, still taxes almost every- thing the farmer uses. Coal, iron, cemeng, lumber, machin- ery, implements, shoes, cloth- ing and household effects are taxed. This means that the Canadian manufacturer of any of these articles will be free to charge the Canadian farmer more for any of the articles specified than he will be likely to charge for the same articles shipped to the farmer on the south side of the 49th parallel. This arrangement, so pro- tectionists claim, builds up in- dustries by preserving the home market against foreign competition. The Canadian farmer who realizes that his neighbor in Dakota is able to buy a binder made in Hamilton or Toronto cheaper than the same can be bought on this side of the line will be likely to conclude that the arrangement which takes the money out of] his pocket and hands it to the Dakota farmer makes him the goat. sident Huerta is in the cent piot against their lives was SHOWERED WITH CONFETTI AT MEXICAN FETE General Felix Diaz, of Mexico is fetti by the populace, they are not popular THE DAILY NEWS on the left and Provisional Pre- re.

An _ unauthenti- cated report of the find was re- ceived at Dawson some time ago. The values given were so large that the report was not generally credited. Two well known Dawson men, Tom Doyle and Andy Taylor, who went on first stampede, have re- turned with. two hundred ounces of gold shovelled in by the dis- coverers in two days. A special steamboat will leave here tomorrow, loaded with stam- peders and outfits. Dawson is TWO MINERS REPORT ARICH PLACER STRIKE IN ALASKA THEY HAVE RETURNED 300 MILES FROM CHISANA RIVER TO DAWSON WITH 200 OUNCES OF GOLD SHOVELLED DAYS. over two hundred miles of the journey in can be made = from Dawson by steamer, from that the nearest outfitting point, and! point on pack horses are used. There are no supplies in the district, so everything will have to be sent in from here, where a complete supply can be had. This is the biggest strike made in the north since Bonanza was discovered, The course from Dawson is up the White River to Snag Creek, thence up Snag Creek to the head and over the watershed to the Tanana River, on a branch of which the discovery has been made.
