DISCUSS THE WOOL SCHEDULE.
senator Mantle Makes Two Hours
Speech.

Washington. June SIN his speech
on the tariff bill Senator Mantle Of
Montana said that there had been 10
opportunity for presenting the wool
growers side of the contention in the
other branch of congress, for the reason
that, owing to the brief time allowed
for debate, the wool schedule had new
er been reached in that body. He pre-
sented fully and supported with nu-
merous tables and statistics the wool
growers side of the controversy and
showed the enormous losses sustained
by the wool-growers in the deprecia-
ton in the value of sheep and wool
during the past six years. He declared
that by reason of the enormous mpor-
tations, IN anticipation of a tariff law.
the wool-growers would not receive
much benefit from the protective tariff
for four years to come.
He asserted that whenever driff
law is to be enacted the powerful man
ufacturing interests of the country are
always on the ground pushing their in
terests, while the farmers and WOOL
growers are an isolated and scattered
class, from the nature of their vocation
and are thus lacking in effective crgan-
ization; hence they had not rec eived
their just share of protection. The
great majority of the wool-grow ers Of
the country are protectionists and re-
publicans; most of them are believers
in the free coinage of gold and silver
But the questions of protection and
free coinage having been divided in the
last campaign, the wool-growers ac-
cepting the pledge contained in The re-
publican national platform in favor OF
ample protection for wool, and believ-
ing protection to be the paramount is
sue, cast their votes in the doubtful
states for Mckinley and elected him.
The tariff bill as it passed the house.
and as now amended by the senate,
utterly fails to meet the expectations
of the wool-growers and is regarded by
them largely as a reputation IF the
republican pledge.
The wool-growers of the country, HI,
continued, are indignant over this
treatment, and he warned the reoupli-
cans that they must change The pro
posed rates or they would lose the sup
port of this numerous element IN the
ensuing campaign. He asserted that
the Mckinley law had not afforded the
necessary protection to wool-grow srs,
and quoted statistics to prove his as
SertiOn.

CROWS NesT PASS RAILWAY.
something OF the Country Through
Which the Road VIII Pasr.

Spokane. June 7-Speaking of the
Crows Nest Pass railway, one who is
well acquainted with the country
through which it will pass said to a
Spokesman-Review reporter: 'At the
present time there are thousands of
Spokane and Washington people inter
ested in the mineral deposits along the
proposed line of this great road, who
VIII be made wealthy by its construc-
tion l have just been up in the Fort
steele country, and there are hundreds
of prospectors from the states up there.
They are on their way to the Moyie.
Ferry and Werner creeks, to the wild
Horse and Bull rivers, into that great
raVlne east OF the mountain spurs
which cast their shadows on the east
bank of the Kootenay; they swarm up
the ST. Mary's and Off towards the
North Star property and the Sullivan
group, where there are supposed to be
some excessively rich deposits they are
OH on the range, far back of the new
townsite of Wardner, and many have
gone toward the upper waters of the
kootenay, travelling off at Sheep creek
to locate the minerals of that region.

be reasonably close to the railroad de-
velopment is certain to follow.
1.-THE Sullivan group, one of the
most wonderful ore bodies yet found in
America, is owned by Spokane men al
most exclusively. Besides, one must not
overlook other things. Within the past
few days 1 have been told of discov-
cry that, considering the conditions
hereabouts. is of more Importance than
that Of gold and silver and that is the
discovery of large deposit of venia-
lite iron. With such iron near a coal
deposite like that of the Crows Nest
pass, there is no reason why a great
iron manufacturing center should not
spring up near us. which would pro-
duce all the steel required not only in
British Columbia, but in this section as
well, at greatly reduced rates. Spo-
kane is the nearest city to this new sec
ton, and the fact of an interna tional
boundary line can not rob her of a
great portion of her profit
The Canadian Pacific company is to
construct the road, which is to run from
Lethbridge N. w. T., by way of the
Crows Nest pass, through the Rocky
mountains, terminating at Rossland,
b. G.. The road will be $50 miles in
length. and the government is to pay
the Canadian Pacific bonus of $11, 900
per mile. In return the railway COM
pany comedies running power over the
road to any and all other railroads, and
the freight rates at all times are to be
under control of the government. The
! Canadian Pacific also agrees to reduc-
| tions in freight rates on their main line
running from 10 to 3S per cent. Con-
struction is to begin at once.
Montreal, Jun 6.-Dan Mann of this
city and William Mckenzie of Toronto
have been awarded by the Canadian
Pacific Railway Company the contract
for the building of the Crows Nest pass
railway from Lethbridge, N. W. T., to
Robson, B. c., a distance of 300 miles
1t is said the work will cost from $685.
900 to $780, 900 per mile.
