Sydney Fisher, Minister of Agriculture, and Hewitt Bostook, M.P., Speak on the Politice] Questions of the Day From a Lib- eral Standpoint, Hon. Sydney Fisher, minister of agriculture, itt Bostock,. ‘M.P., addressed a meeting of the citizens of Rossland last night in Miners’ Union hall. Mr. Hart- McHarg, president of the Rossland liberal association, presided. Mr. Bostock, in his opening re- marks, congratulated the citizens of Rossland upon the steady progress of the city and the rapid develop- ment of the mineral resources of the surrounding district. He then pro- ceeded to review the legisation of the last session of parliament, which extended over a period of six months, He said the government had re- cognized the necessity for a public building in Rossland and had made a grant of $15,000 for this purpose, and an additional grant would be made at next session to complete the building. A grant was also made to improve the navigation of the Columbia river. The extension of the government telegraph line into the Atlin district, he thought, would be of great benefit’ to the whole Dominion. . In apologizing for the failure of the povernment to press the legisla~ tion increasing the tax on China- men coming into British Columbia he said that the people of eastern Canada required to be educated on the question before such legislation could be passed in parliament.

He promised that at the next ses- sion of parliament the government would deal with the Chinese ques- tion and that legislation would be passed in accordance with the wishes of the people of British Columbia. At the conclusion of Mr. Fisher's address a vote of thanks was passed to the speakers, on motion of Dr. Sinclair. “CHEAP HELLO’S.» You May Have Two for Less Than the Price of One, The telephone business is receiv- ing quite an impetus and in order to meet the rivalry of the new Co- lumbia company the Vernon & Nel- son Telephone company have pre- pared a schedule of rates, effective November 1, that is almost aston- ishing.

McKenzie is about and singing the national anthem. Hon. Mr. Fisher was then intro- duced and expressed ‘his delight at what he had seen during his visit to British Columbia. | He had always heard of British Columbia as.a min- ing province and his trip had been taken forthe purpose of studying the situation for himself, so that when questions affecting the inter- ests of the province came up in the cabinet, he could discuss them in- telligently with his colleagues. Dur- ing the past year, he said, over 40,000 people had come into west- ern Canada, most of whom had come into British Columbia, and to- day the province is attracting more attention in Great Britain than ever before in its history, chiefly through the development of its mineral re- sources. In defending the actions of the government since assuming office, he said that under present condi- tions free trade is not possible in Canada, but he claimed, that very en made in the tariff.
