MAPLE LEAF
WILL COMPETE
Canadian Yachtsman Discusses
Transpacific Contest
for 1903.

The members of the Royal vancou
transpacific yacht race and will GER
tainly have a boat ready TO enter the
contest in 1905" said A. G. Thyme, a
guest at the Young Hotel yesterday.
Mr.. Thyme is an enthusiastic yachts
man and a vice commodore Of the Van
couver club, whose entry for the first
to be scratched at the last moment.
The only reason for withdrawing
the Maple Leaf from the race was that
the time was too short in which to fit
her out for the long sea voyage. She
is the property of Alexander McLaren,
of Ottawa, a royal sportsman, who
was as much disappointed that Canada
and the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club
was not represented after all in the
big race as we all were. Mr.. Nc
Laren has ted me, however, that he
will have the Maple Leaf ready for
the next race and it is possible that
other of our yachts may also cross the
starting line when the judges gun
booms out the signal for the start for
Honolulu
The Vancouver association of yachts
men is young organization but a
strong one, having nearly three hun
bred members and having its royal
blue pennant flying from a hundred
crafts of different kinds, including
steam and motor launches. The wa
ters about Vancouver are nearly ideal
for yachting, the protected arm of the
ocean reaching back of Vancouver is
land for a hundred miles and being
from ten to thirty miles wide, the
shores lined with beautifully wooded
bays and winding inlets.
The club is a member of the inter
national association, which includes
the clubs of Seattle, Port Townsend,
Bellingham, Victoria and Vancouver.
These clubs hold an. annual regatta at
one or another of these places and
race annually for an international cup.
A meeting of the executive of the as
ISOLATION was recently held, at which
it was decided to accept the rules for
measurement and rating in use by the
Atlantic yacht clubs, and in future
only the 29-foot class of yachts will
be entered in the international cup
contests. This cup now is held by the
Gwendolyn, of the Seattle yacht club.
Mr.. Thyme, who is accompanied by
his wife. will spend a short time here.
Today they leave for the volcano and
on their return will be entertained by
some of the members Of the Hawaii
Yacht Club. It had been the intention
of Commodore Cooper to cruise yes
terday in the Helene with Mr.. Thyme,
but the high off-shore winds prevented
this.

British Columbia Mines.

A large new boarding house is be-
ing built at the Stemwinder mine, in
Fairview camp.
During the month of October more
than 5000 tons of copper ore was
shipped from the Snowshoe mine,
which established a new high record
for that property.
1t is rumored among mining men
that the closing down of the CRANKY
mines and smelter will be of but short
duration and that there is a big merger
Of Boundary companies planned.
One encouraging feature in the news
of the week vas the receipt by Boun-
dairy and other stockholders in the
Consolidated Mining & Smelling com
pany of Canada, Ltd, OF the seventh
dividend checks of that concern, be-
ing what is known as the November
dividend payment.
II is the general impression in Mel
son that the shutdown IF the copper
mines in the Boundary is merely a
matter of adjustment of wages. and
that if the men are willing to take the
Butte scale-the Butte scale being the
rise and fall of wages with the rise
and fall of copper-the Boundary
mines and smelters will soon be in
fun blast again.
The lie Roi, at Rossland, B. c.. is
developing in a satisfactory manner
as new ore finds continue TO be of a
high grade and the outlook is for a
long period of usefulness. A larger
force-about 125 mems employed in
the mine and mill than for several
years past. lie Role No. . is operating
the Vancouver mine in the SLOGAN.
and it is a valuable asset of the COM
pany. Seventy men are employed in
the mine and mill at Vancouver. and
regular shipments of concentrates
and ore continue to be made to the
Trail smelter.

ported to be new preparing to put in
a four-mile aerial tramway to haul
the ore from the mine to the head OF
the lake, where it will be put on
barges and shipped thence by rail

OKLAHOMA, A STATE
PRESIDENT signs PROCLAMA-
ton ADMITTING HER.
Act Was Done in Cabinet Room in
Presence Of Few-Signature Signed
BY Pen Formed From Quill Of Wing
Of an American Eagle-Goes to His
torical Society of Oklahoma.

A new star was added to the Amer
lean flag by the admission formally
into the Union of the state Of Okla
homa.
President Roosevelt at 1915 o'clock
Saturday morning signed the procla-
nation admitting the territories OF Ok
laboma and Indian Territory jointly as
one of the American states. Little
formality attended the ceremony
which meant so much TO the people
of the two territories. In a|ppendlng
his signature to the proclamation the
president used a pen formed from a
quill plucked from the wing OF an
American eagle. The pen will be de
posted with the Oklahoma Historical
society.
There was absolutely no ceremony
connected with the signing Of the
proclamation. The act was done IN
the cabinet ROOM, to which had been
admitted Senators Carter and Dixon
of Montana. and Warner Of Missouri,
besides a number of residents Of Okla
homa, most of whom are connected
with government departments in
Washington. 1t was exactly 1916
O'Clock when Secretary Loeb threw
omen the double doors leading from
the presidents private Office. He had
the proclamation in his hand, which
later he laid on the large square blot
ter at the presidents position at the
head of the cabinet table. The presi-
dent entered and took his seat at once,
was handed the long eagle quill pen
by the secretary and, himself lifting
the lid from the inkstand, dipped the
pen and wrote his name in large let
tiers, the pen making an audible
scratch with each movement. When
he had finished his signature the pres
ident picked up a small blotter. with
which he blotted his name, and then
looked up and exclaimed:
Oklahoma is a state"
The signing and all incidents con
cerned with it consumed but n min
ute, and at their conclusion the presi-
lent retired to his private Office, say
ing as ne did so:
Good morning, gentlemen"
The slight delay from the original
plan of having the proclamation signed
at exactly 10 o'clock is explained sim
ply by the statement the president
was occupied with his mail. No sig.
nifcance is attached to the 16 minutes
delay.

state Railroad Commission suspects
Railroads Aid Alleged
Combine.

OLYMPIA. Wash, Nov. 20.-The state
-aflroad commission is cunning Tor a
combine Of railroads and
rarehousemen that is said to be at
+amnting to bar out independent wheat
BUYERS in eastern Washington, n an
nonncement is made at the commission
oHoas that the commission will keep
bnsv on the work until the combine, Il
such exists. is broken up for all time.
In fact. the commission is rather IN
.o-.ned to force warehousemen out OF
the business OF buying grain n into
a strictly warehouse business.
What gives ground for the belleI
,bara is such collision between the
warehousemen and the railroads is the
fact that this year the warehousemeh
adopted a new and peculiar form or re-
CENT and at the same time the rail
roads adopted a rule not 10 supply ears
IN independent buyers unless the same
were ordered through some warehouse
man.
Heretofore warehouse receipts given
for wheat simply receipted for a Ger.
49,
tain number of sacks and bushels o.
grain to be delivered on surrender OF
the receipt and payment of charges
This year the receipt reads that the
cheat was to be delivered in the ordel
in which cars are received"
Immediately following the protest Of
the grain growers against this form o.
receipt came the complaint from indie
pendent buyers that the railroads
would not supply them with cars.
The commission promptly inYestl
gated the latter report and was at mrs
positively informed by railroad Officials
there was no such rule, and if an!
agent had enforced such a rule he hat
done so without authority.
The commission then made turtle
investigation and found there was thi
discrimination and again demanded al
explanation from the railroads. Thel
the roads admitted there is such a rule
and now the roads are defending it a
proper and fair.

PRESIDENT CALLS GOVERNORS.
Roosevelt Announces Great Conference
in Nav.

Roosevelt Announces Great Conference
in May.
President Roosevelt has invited the
governors of states and territories to
meet h'-n at the White House May 10,
ii and Is next to discuss the question
of means to conserve the natural re-
sources of the country" Invitations
are to be extended to the members OF
both houses OF congress and TO the in
land waterways commission. The i'm
portance and manner in which the
subject is to be considered are indi-
Gated in the presidents letter to the
governors, which says, in part:
1T is evident that the abundant nat
ural on which the welfare
of this nation rests are becoming de.
pleted, and in not a few cases are al
ready exhausted. This is true of all
portions of the United States; it is es
pecially true of the longer settled
communities of the east. The gravity
of the situation must, l believe. appea.
with special force to the governors Of
the states, because of their close rela
tons to the people n tneir RESPONSE
bility for the welfare of their com
munities.
The matters to be considered a
this conference are not confined to any
region or group of states, but are o
vital concern to the nation as a whole
and to all the people. These subjects
include the use and conservation of the
mineral resources, the resources of tbs
land and the resources Of the waters
in every part of our territory.
I'm order to open discussion | shall
invite a few recognized authorities t.
present brief descriptions of actua
facts and conditions, without argu
ment, leaving the conference to dea
with each topic as it may elect"
