CANADA TO DECIDE
FATE OF EMPIRE
Younger Dominions Hold Flu
ture of Britain in Their
Hands, Says Miner,

MONTREAL, Nov 3,--Lord Miner
made the last speech he viii make in
canada during his present stay in the
Dominion to the members of the Cana
dian Club at the Sailors Institute yes
terday. 1t was, as he himself said,
n resume of mis- message, an appeal to
imperial SIN of the higher type. He
said in part:
"'rhere is one remark | have often
heard from Canadians not from Eng
,isnmen, and that is that tie public
life IN Canada is unattractive because
there are no big issues. That seems
to me to be AN extraordinary point
OF view. No big issues, The next
wears are going TO determine whether
Canada Will remain a part of the Brit
ish Empire.
The decision OF that question rests
with Canadians alone. No external
compulsion could be, certainly none
ever would be exercised to Influence IL
1t rests with them alone--the decision
Of that question. and with that ques'
ton perhaps the decision OF the fate
Of the empire as a whole. Even in ii,
badly organized condition the empire Is
the greatest political entity in tht
world: properly organized, II would o'
the greatest power.
1t lies with all parts or the empire

THE REINDEER QUESTION

 The aim of the commissioner is a rapid redistribution of the reindeer amongst the natives so that the natives will own the deer and be able to han dle them mtelligently.
 Some of the missions are opposed to this system. as they claim that the reindeer help. or should help, support the missions. Of course, this claim is entirely at variance with our laws
 I interviewed Mr. Karsten, tho rlis- sionary here, and he is in favor of turning over the mission deer to to government for redistribution amongst the natives. claiming that the missions do not need other aid. and is willing to take the lead in d movement of this kind. claiming that it would stop all

 "I was much impressed while on the Pacific coast with the anti-Japanese feeling existing in Vancouver and throughout British Columbia, which is far more intense tran the feeling on the American side of the border, At san Francisco the anti Japanese cle- ment is relatively small and one hears little of the active agitation against the Japanese.

 About seventeen years ago reindeer were introduced in Alaska for the sup port of the Eskimo, the introduction During that time 1,2SO reindeer were introduced from Siberia. The original amount has increased until there are now 16,00O deer in Alaska. A few of this number came from Lapland 1898. At that time the miners were supposed to be starving. The government desr- ing to aid the miners appealed to Dr. Jackson who suggested the deer. They came from Lapland with colony of interior a couple of years later and finally landed upon the coast This experiment cost the government some- where in the neighborhood of $11.00O a day and is cited as an instance of one of Dr. Jackson's mistakes.
 When congress suspended the immi- grafton laws to permit the Lapps tc come to Alaska, it was with the under standing that the Lapps would be paid q salary to teach the Eskimos how tc handle the deer, but what was the re- suit?

 Such is the tale of murder that comes from the upper Pelly. The story is that the wizard. sO-called. had incurred the enmity of the Pelly Indians, and had been believed by the tribes of the realm to be possessed of the devil. He had coem among them in years past from the Mackenzie side. and there had dwelt among them, following them un- til his ways had seemed to bring to them ill-fortune and trouble.

 According to the report the murder was committed somewhere enar Ross river. now almost inaccessible for the winter. The Indians seemed to have been pleased rather than displeased over the dispatch of the strange pos sessed red man. and reported the case more out of novelty than because they wanted to see the slayer brought to justice. The murder Is said to have been committed with a gun. The ex- planation is suggested by some that perhaps the man murdered was in- sane. and that his strange actions had caused the Indians in their superstition to believe him possessed, and that, in pursuance with the practice of some others of uncivilized peoples, they dis patched the suffered for that land be-
