4 CHANCE COMING
 FOR YUKON MEMBER

Ottawa, Sept. 16-For several months past there have been per sistent rumors that Hon. Louis CO., derre, secretary of state and minis ter of mines, will retire from the public bench. Mir. COderre is anx- ioua to drop out and it is believed he will be given the opportunity to do so in the near future.
 While recognizing the claim of Yukon, owing to its great gold pro ductiou, a difficulty will lie in the way of appointing Dr. Thompson to the post because the Quebec con serVatiyes will not be willing to have their cabinet representation re- duced.
 Well informed persons are in clined to think that Yukon's best opportunity will come some time before the next general election when there Is sure to be a reorgan- izatiou of the cabinet and readjust- ment of portfolios. They think that will be the time for Yukon to pu. iu it's claims.
 pr. ThOmpson's appointment would be popular, as, apart from his knowledge of mining conditions in Yukon and elsewhere, he is well liked member on both sides of the house.
