'.|.‘. B. HOSPITAL CLAIM

i: a letter to our evening ccntgm. QWIW. the Hon. W. M. Lea contend; that The Guardian was incorrect when it stated that tho Federal Gov- ‘rr-cmedt asked him ii $100,000 would be sufficient to , nsate the Province for the alterations and ex- tensions o! the Dalton Banatorium. Be lava: I “Mr. MoCurdy asked me what sum I hld in mind, suggesting was it 130,000. 850.000 or 875,000. This was ‘merely sounding us to see wrist claim l! any. we were considering." \ Mr. Lea is relying on his memory, this is evidently not very clear on the subject, for he admits that he does not, remember even who was flu‘. fld member oi the Federal is, ent who met them. But tak- ‘is; rci- granted t1s,000 was the sum. Tpilrely m. Lea will admit that the members oi the Dominion Govern- mentwould not likely mention that, or any other sum. did they not real- in that the Province had a lust claim for compensstio under the Vsontirwt. w. us. iurther admits jflilt m. ncu realized that we h“ o, claim, md wrote twice de- inanding what he “considered sui- flcient compensation." "This claim." says Mr. Lea, "was "lever admitted." It would be interesting to get a copy c! this statement oi claim, and the replies oi the Federal Government. 1f they are not on file in Charlotte- town, they will be at Ottawa. Anyway, these admissions of Mr. Lea. prove conclusively we have a claim, under Iur contract, and it is the bounden liuty of the Saunders’ Government lo press it when presenting our oth- lr claims this iall. Ii Premier Saund- nfs fails to do so, he will be recreant lo his duty as the representative oi lbs people. This is precisely what The Guardian contended on Satur- day. and all along. Mr. L150 Qin- pient is further corroboration that our claim at Ottawa needs pressing with all the vigor that a competent administration can bring to bear upon it. Will Mr. Saunders promise in file this claim and present it with the, others he is now preparing?

1. BUTHLISS COMPETITION.

A recent market report 1n the Mon- hesl Gazette contains significant in- rcu-dioiicu withrespect to ruruicr im- pnrtetions of a product which has al- yeady seriously atlected the dairylng kitcrests oi this country. The report ‘pads:

“Cable information states that tales oi New Zesland butter toHafi-

of the coming season, now to- tal over 400,000 bores. It is ex-

that total shipments to “Canada, including Vancouver, will pmount to more than 000.000 boxes ior the season. As a consequence "oi the Halifax sales early London shipments will be considerably re- jduoed."

' At l0 pounds to the box. the ship mania oi New Zeaisnd butter may bo otpected to total 00,000,000 pounds. ivory season the competition is be-

suniag heavier. and the end is not

in.

Chinese ter- ritory proper then covered the water- sheds oi the Yellow River and the Yangise valley and west River; but subsequently the "emperors" oi the Cb'in dynabty claimed euserainty over so-calicd dependencies as iargb as the territory these waters included. Amongst the protectorates thus mark- edout were Mongolia and Manchuria. The Chinese people from time im- memorial were an agricultural nation. The Mongols and ‘Ihrtars were oi another class. "rhcy were nomadic warriors, and superb horsemen, an aggressive ‘andierocloua people. Con- sequently they became the terror oi their southern neighbors. and ‘the sudden raids made at intervals upon the crops within the Chinese pro- vinces called ror some adequate means of defence. The result was the Great Wall. Such a Iillntic enterprise viv- idly illustrates the perils which, in ancient times. the Chinese people were called upon‘ to iace. and aleothe indomitable industry Ind patience which characterise a people who were well versed in civilised arts long be- iore our Western world knew what civilisation meant.
