\HE king of the wildcat real estate promoters,
the minister of lands for British Columbia,

will supply anyone who applies with a pamphlet |

entitled, ‘‘Loans to Farmers—Agricultural Act,
Passed by the McBride Government, March 1,

1915,”’ The Prince Rupert Conservatives, or Wm. |.
Manson, had a large number of these pamphlets

printed at the government-stipported print shop
in Prince Rupert and cireulatdd them throughout

this district. Only a few of the sections, possibly

three, are given, and these point out all the good
things the government took onto itself the power
to do to the farmers.

up to the present we have not heard of a single

application being made for a Joan. The pamphlet

does not say that the money i$ not available now.
But the farmers are wise to the government’s

methods and cannot be gulled! into any such trash -
as Wm. Manson, Hon. Wm. Ross or any of. their.

kihd springs at election time, Everyone knows
that the farmers can get no money from the gov-
ernment, It is not intended that they should get

any money. Bowser took good care of that when,

he provided that the act shal] not come into ef-
fect until he personally sees fit. Bowser knows

that his government cannot. get any money any.

place or for any purpose, no matter what security
‘He-has to offer, Bowser does, however, sanction
his understudies sending out literature misrepre-
senting conditions. Hon. Wm. R. Ross, being
one of the weakest tools in the government, has
his name attached to many of the fake pamphlets.

It is time for a change—not only in the govern-

ment, but in the methods of sending out litera-
ture, When a government will not give the truth
how can the truth be ‘expected. from any other
concern, eae cot

that should ‘not be credited to it,-the most
serious being the shortage of:'money and the in-

of the matter is that a very-great deal of the

of the first. principles of: business. The Bowser-
‘MeBride government set the example by securing

and had no money to support the suckers, hence

| the failures. Following the government example,

a lack of management, a lack. of: business ‘know-
ledge and a lack of original assets will be found
to be the cause of more failures than anything
else. There may be some legitimate businesses
which will suffer from the failure of: the wildcats,
and some of them. may even be forced to suspend,
but the majority of the failures: were wildcats | in

been reported as to the copper situation in

the site of the new refinery, as ‘the greater por-
tion of the ore will come from | this province,
which is rich ih copper, both low and high grade.

No, matter where the refinery is situated, North-

ern British Columbia, and..especially the New
Hazelton district, will -be greatly benefitted, | as

‘some of the largest. deposits of copper in the pro-
vince are right around New Hazelton, The ore is/:

high grade, tpo, and in large bodies. A refinery
operated by. the Imperial government would mean
a vast increase in copper production in’ B.C, and
greater profits for the producers who under pre-

‘sent conditions have..to ship all the copper. from
the smelters to the United States, ‘for retining,,
