CANADA'S PLAN
Unlimited Hooch for Tourists
f at King’s Ransom.
VANCOUVER, B. C. t April 23.—Having
a monopoly of fortified moisture from
the Pacific to the St. Lawrence and from
Mexico to the Yukon, the government of
British Columbia, which under the now
moderation act, will open up as sole pur
veyor of everything from beer to cham
pagne in the province. May 1 next, pro
poses that tourists coming to this alco
holic oasis from surrounding desert areas
to refresh themselves, shall pay for the
privilege and then pay some more.
To begin with, the government has no
intention of allowing any reproduction,
by tourists or anybody else, the old
brass footrail conditions, ’lne resident
must pay $5 a year for a permit to buy
liquor at the government store and go to
Jail for six months if he buys it any
where else. This latter condition also ap
plies to the tourist, but his permit, which
costs $5 also, is good for a fortnight
only.
BIT EVERYBODY
MI ST BEHAVE.
Having bought his package, the pur
chaser must take It away, outside and
not inside his person. If a resident, he
goes home with the precious cargo. If
a tourist, he may take it to his hotel
room. The only persons who are al
lowed to have liquor In hotel rooms are
bona fide registered guests. The wan
ferer who parks his car out in the sub
urbs and camps in it must do without
liquid sustenance stronger than coffee.
Liquor cannot be consumed in a public
place, and aeecording to the act any
place to which an automobile may go,
except a private garage, is a public place.
BUT THAT
IS NOT ALL.
Fest've tourists have hitherto found
that even under the prohibition law the
beer supplied by the near-beer bars was
a distinctly cheering quality. Resl-
had already found it out and near
beer bars have flourished accordingly.
All that Is about to disappear. Near
beer has been abolished by statute. Real
beer alone will be recognized in British
Columbia hereafter and it will be sold
by the Government only under the same
conditions as other Intoxicants. Sixty
bars in this city, beautiful places that
nobly endeavored to fill the vacancy cre
ated when the prohibition act, repealed
by the will of the electors of the Prov
ince as expressed In a plebiscite taken
last October, wiped out the regular ho
tel bars three years ago. American bar
tenders who found a haven In the near
beer bars after their occupation had been
eliminated in the States are Inquiring
as to passanger rates to their home
towns and finding that American ex
change, which worked so well coming
this way. has a reverse action.
Numerous clubs, too. many of them
returned soldiers' organizations, are hard
hit by the new legislation which takes
■way their principal source of revenue.
Without the near-beer bar, especially
since the beer has been so much nearer,
they will find some difficulty in carry
ing on.

GAIN STRENGTH
Stock Market Closes Strong—
Steels Strong.
NEW YORK. April 23. —The stock mar
ket closed strong today. The feature of
the trading In the last hour was the
development of strength In some of the
leading railroad shares.
Northern Pacific was most prominent,
moving up over 2 points to 75%. while
Great Northern rose nearly 3 points to
72%. and Reading moved up over 2 points
to 71%.
United States Steel was In large de
mand. advancing over 1 point to 83%, and
Baldwin made a gain of over 3 points to
80%.
American Woolen was another strong
feature, touching 77%, an upturn of near
ly 4 points.
Mexican Petroleum made anew high of
151% In the last few minutes, while Stude
baker rallied from 85% to 86%.
Total sales of stocks today were 555.900
shares; bonds, $3,194,000.
Total sales of stocks for the week were
8,881,700 shares; bonds, $49,833,000.
(By Thompson & McKinnon.)
—April 23-
In today’s market, there was no dupli
cation of yesterdays activity. Many of
the traders wlio were long of stocks were
disposed to accept profits and the same
was true of commission house business.
The fact of the matter Is that many
people are not Inclined to take the pres
ent advance seriously but rather disposed
to regard it as an advance based on
an over-extension of the short interest.
The market however gave an excellent
account of itself. At no time was the
pressure sufficiently pronounced to re
sult in more than moderate recessions
and during the latter part of the session
a fairly good demand again developed,
which again disclosed a scarcity of offer
ings, especially In the rails. The fact
that this coming week a very large rail
road bond issue is to be offered, prob
ably had something to do with the sup
port offered in this group.
The oils, however, appeared to get
most of the popular support, with mo
tors and rubber shares following.
European news is satisfactory and In
high circles the opinion prevails that
a settlement of the reparations con
troversy Is close at hand. This natural
lv Is the biggest single proposition that
we have at the present time and its
settlement must of necessity have a bene
ficial effect on business and finance
throughout the world.
We continue to feel that a conservative
ly optimistic attitude is justified but
purchases should be made during periods
of reactions.

Stock Market Review
NEW YORK, April 23.—The Sun's fi
nancial review today said:
"Today's stock market was animated
for a Saturday half session and It com
manded not a little interest because of
the uncertainty of trend in view of the
vigorous advance of Friday.
"Prices were higher at the opening and
continued so, more or less, through the
first hour, although net changes in that
interval were narrow for the most part
and It was a question if buying and
selling did not pretty evenly bulance each
other.
“It was reasonable to expect, however,
that yesterday’s rise would invite profit
taking and such proved to be the case
In the second hour, until shortly before
the closing, when a bulge in rail values
put an end to it.
"The reaction was not severe at any
time and its manifestations still reflected
the caution which the bears have been
constrained to exercise of late.
"The final figures disclosed substantial
net gains.
"The foreign exchanges were steady
to firm.
“Cotton and grain were alike steady
to firm.’*

With the local packers showing a good
demand for swine at the opening of the
market and receipts light at close to 4,000,
prices were 25 cents higher at the start
on the local live stock exchange today.
All grades brought $9.75, but there was
a slackening in the demand after the
packers had filled their demands and
at a late hour in the forenoon there were
several loads of swine that had not yet
been sold.
Cattle receipts were light and the mar

receipts.
With approximately 300 calves on the
market prices were steady on good and

TRADE LIFELESS
Price Fluctuations Irregular—
Provisions Unsteady.
CHICAGO, April 23.—Grain prices fluc
tuated irregularly on the Chicago board
of trade today. There was little life
to the • trading and the turnover was
small. Price changes were fractional
with a slight trend toward higher levels,
due to improvement in the export condi
tions. Provisions were irregular.
May wheat opened at sl3l, up %c,
and closed off %c. July wheat opened
unchanged at $1.07%, and closed at that
figure.
May corn opened off %c at 60%c, and
closed off %c. July corn opened up %c
at 03%c and closed off %c. September
corn opened unchanged at 65%c, and
closed up %c. May oats opened off %c
at 3S%c, and closed at that figure.
July oats opened up %c at 39%c, and
closed unchanged. September oats
opened at 40c, up %c, and closed off %c.

—April 23-
Wheat—The difficulty in securing cash
wheat is coming to the surface more
plainly each day. It has, naturally, stim
ulated a demand from millers. It de
velops that larger millers are buyers of
the May delivery In the Northwest and
Southwest, presumably because of their
Inability to secure cash wheat. There
was some talk of a delay In the enactment
of the turiff bill, but the present condi
tion of the markets would not permit im
portation of wheat with or without a pro
tective tariff. No. 1 northern wheat in
Winnipeg is selling at 55 cents over Chi
cago May and 63 cents over Minneapolis
May. Canadian farmers said to be of
sering a little more freely, but advices
from domestic territory are practically
unanimous in saying that offerings are
distinctly limited In volume. General
rains and lower temperatures in the West
are predicted, whereas fair weather
would be preferable. There Is sufficient
improvement in the demand from millers
to overcome a slowing down of the ex
port business. There is, also, sufficient
difficulty In buying cash wheat from
producers to keep the underlying situa
tion strong. We believe the deferred de
liveries must make further recognition of
the light stocks, small movement and
strong premiums for cash wheat.
Corn and Oats—The seaboard was again
inquiring and taking cash corn, but mar
ket encountered sufficient realizing to
check the advance temporarily. The Kan
sas City report yesterday noted a de
crease In urea of 10 per cent and there
were private advices from Missouri of a
consiclerable decrease. The features in
corn and oats are the small movement
from the country, the likelihood of u con
siderable decrease in the visible supply
and evidence of a better distributing de
mand.
I’rovisinns—Further short covering has
appeared in today’s provision market
also, a little buying by larger packers.
But there is no Improvement iu the Eu
ropean trade, which probably will be,
the determining factor in future values.

PRIMITIVE AREA
IN FAR ALASKA
NATIONAL PARK
Railroad, Now Building, Will
Bring McKinley Park
Near Civilization.
WILD GAME PLENTIFUL
By FREDERIC J. HASKIN.
WASHINGTON, D. C—The work of
surveying the boundaries of Mt. McKin
ley National Park, which is said to be
the most remarkable of all the areas
which the United States Government has
set aside for the purpones of conserva
tion and public pleasure, Is to begin this
spring. These boundaries will enclose a
great area of primitive wilderness, teem
ing with game, in which it will be unlaw
ful to kill that game except for miners
and prospectors who are actually depend
ent upon it for a living.
It is hard at present to arouse popular
interest in a national park in Alaska be
cause it seems so far away. Yet the new
Government railroad in Alaska will bring
Mt. McKinley within three weeks of New
York City. aDd you can travel all the way,
except the last twenty miles, by boat
and rail. This means that Mount McKin
ley will be no harder for the tourist to
reach than is Hawaii, which in recent
years has attained such wide popularity.
It will soon be possible to go, on a
summer vacation of a few months, from
the most populous city in the world to
one of its most remote places, where
wild life exists in the abundance of pre-
Columbian days. This is an opportunity
which the American tourists will not
miss. It Is said that plans are already
under way for a big hotel there to
accommodate him. It is probable, too,
that the National Park Service will In
due course Install there the shelters for
travellers which It has In other parks.
Here, as in all national parks and for
ests, everything will be open to all. If
you can not afford a hotel, you can
take your own outfit and camp, or build
your own cabin if you want to stay
longer.
It is the prospect of this movement
of tourists to Alaska which has prompted
the Government to set aside Mount Mc-
Kinley as a national park. The prime
purpose in creating the park is to pro
tect the big game herds within It, and
the reason for this is that game Is an
absolute necessity to the development of
Alaska. The exploring, prospecting, and
surveying which are the necessary pre
liminaries of civilization in such a coun
try, can not be carried or unless men
can live off the country as they go
along. Our own West could not have
been opened up without the great herds
of bison and antelope that covered tin
prairies and the deer and elk that
abounded in the mountains. No pro
tection was ever afforded these wild
.herds, but they were not finally de
stroyed until they had served their pur
pose. The West was so far away from
civilization that it was not menaced by
tourists.
CONDITIONS
IN ALASKA.
The case of Alaska is different. It i
rapidly being made accessible to the civi
lization which owns It. If sportsmen and
tourists are allowed to slaughter the
game, soon there will be none left for the
men who actually need it. The Alaskans
are said fully to realize this and there
fore to favor the establishment of the
park. By preventing the shipment of
game from it, and the carrying of arms
into it by tourists, the game can with
out much expense be given all the pro
tection it will need, for years to come.
The region will In this way serve ns a
reservoir from which game will overflow
in all directions, keeping the country
stocked.
The northern slope of Mt McKinley
is said to be one of the finest game
regions In the world. A great variety of
game and fur-bearing animals exist there
in abundance, but the most valuable ones
from the standpoint of food supply are
the mountain sheep, or bighorn, the
moose and the caribou. The mountain
sheep, which is elsewhere a rare animal,
here exists in great numbers. The cari
bou range in enormous herds that are so
tame they trot alongside the pack trains
that enter the country, fascinated by the
curious spectacle. Moose are found on
the lower slopes in great abundance.
There are many bears, and abundant
small game.
All of this is on the northern slope,
for the southern side is almost devoid
,of life. This curious state of affairs is j
caused by the fact that the northern
slope of the great mountain is warmed
by winds blowing off the Japanese cur
rent. Asa result It has a warm sum
mer. In winter the thermometer some
times drops fur below zero, but the snow
is not very deep nor the climate difficult
to endure,
"We are accustomed to think winter
there is cold,’’ said Charles Selden, who
spent a whole year alone on Mount Mc-
Kinley. “Winter is the most delightful
season of the year.’’ He went on to say
that he did not suffer from the cold
even on the coldest days, and that he
wore no more clothing than he would
have In winter In the Adirondack Moun
tains. Winter, he says, is the best time
for traveling over the mountain because
then the ground Is frozen and the footing
is good. In the summer there are many
little bogs and marshes.
QUALIFICATIONS
AS PARK SITE.
This northern slope Is described as one
of the most beautiful regions in the
world, rich In animal life, full of wild
flowers, healthful all the year round. The
southern slope Is a vast rock slide where
almost nothing can live, covered in win
ter with snow which sometimes reaches
a depth of sixty feet.
Mount McKinley is said by those who
have seen it to be the most spectacular
peak In the world. It rises in a great
dome, crowned with glittering ice and
snow, to an elevation of 17,000 feet, and
is flanked by smaller mountains 14,000 to
15,000 feet high. A few hunters and a
few prospectors, most of whom work on
placer gold deposits, are the only human
beings in the vast wilderness. Although
it is rich in minerals, it Is said that no
mining industries have yet been estab
lished within the park boundaries. The
establishment of the park will not in
any way interfere with mining and pros
pecting. It will, however, prevent private
individuals from getting hold of the land
and controlling it. It means that this
region will be free to all Americans for
all time.
This freedom is perhaps the greatest
boon which is conferred by our whole
system of national parks and forests,
and it is one that will be appreciated
more and more as time goes on. The
pity is that national parks and forests
were not also established in the East be
fore all of its wild lands fell into pri
vate hands. There are, of course, a few
State and national parks In the East,
but not nearly enough.
REASONS FOR
PARK RESERVATION.
These national parks and forests in
the West mean that there are gr<sat areas
of beautiful country which will never
be devastated, and where any man may
roam, hunt, fish, camp or build his own
cabin. What this is worth in health
and pleasure-' the people of the Rocky
Mountain Spates well know. What is
equally important, though perhaps not
so geneyly recognized, is the mental
value oyphysical freedom. A man who
has wdhdered freely in the great out
doorsjfbuilding his campfire wherever he
pleajfc, enjoying the sense of freedom,
of jlcape from worry and oL physical
well being which springs from such *
life, is always a man with a fine sense
of his Individual liberty.
JAPAN STANDS
FIRM ON HER
WAR PROGRAM
Diet’s Amazing Military
Preparations Lead to
Questions.
NEW PARTY FORMING
TOKIO, April 25.—The Imperial Die*
of Japan, now In the third month of its
forty-fourth session, has succeeded in
voting down, by a vote of 259 to 141, all
attempts to discredit the government
under the present Hara ministry. Herein
may be summed up all the measures and
the standpat votes of the present session.
Before the session have come the ques
tions of disarmament, Japan’s fallqre to
postpone astounding preparations for
more than mere defense, the question of
unnecessary maintenance of troops in
Siberia, maladministration in Korea, the
issue of the continued violation of all in
ternational agreements In aid of ths
opium business by this nation.
Just as promptly as these questions
have been brought up by some opposition
orator in either the House of Representa
tives or the House of Peers, there hag
come before one of ttiese two houses a
government minister, who. calm In the
assurance that his heavy Seiyukal ma
jority will vote him confidence, has in
unruffled tones, explained the government
ideas on the questions.
PLANS CALLED OFF
THREATEN TROUBLE.
Strange to say, the government has vio
lated its originally intended program In
two matters. First, the demand for the
raising of schools in Tokio, notably the
Higher Technical School, to a higher
standing, and, second, the lending of as
sistance to the rice farmers, has caused
action. Both of these two progressive
activities, the final apparent intention to
raise the schools, and the decision to give
aid to the farmers, have come about only
after demonstrations have threatened to
cause trouble for the members of the
Diet. These are absolutely the only two
measures which seem assured of success,
unless one might mention the fact that
the Diet at one highly complimentary
session decided that the Crown Prince,
a youth of 20 years, really should take a
trip to Europe, and forthwith voted him
a few hundred thousand yen for addi
tional warship escort expenses.
After the Diet reopened Jan. 23, a split
was threatened from Mr. Ozaki, man of
progressive ideas, who criticised the gov
ernment’s policy of shipbuilding and
general high expenditures. Mr. Ozaki is
now In the south of Japan, addressing
thousands of his countrymen and appar
ently succeeding in forming the first in
dependent party ever known in Japan.
LEADER FLAYS
SIBERIAN POLICY.
1 iscount ICato, leader of the opposi
tion, has flayed the Hara ministry and
the government as a whole for its pol
icy in Siberia. He has taken up the
shooting of an American naval lieuten
ant by a nervous Japanese sentry, Pri
vate Ogawora, and has attempted to
show that Japan’s continued maintenance
of troops in this district will only serve
further to embarrass the nation In it*
internalional relations. He has attacked
the government for its failure to secure
cooperation in China business, and has
put on record as the most formidable op
ponent to Premier Hara’s government
Baron Baito, Governor General of Korea,
who has arrived in Tokio, heavily guard
ed against revolutionists to do what he
can toward explaining the spread of rev
olutionary ideas and "dangerous
thoughts,” which, the government fears
are increasing each day in Korea.
News of the mysterious death in Tokio
of Bin Gen-shoku, Korean nationalist
leader, a relative of the former reigning
family in Korea and a noted pro-Jap*,
nese, and the holding of a young Korean
Independent in connection with Gen
shoku’s death, has been suppressed by
•he police.
STATE RETURNS
MAN’S LIQUOR
Declares Valuable *Stock’ Was
Illegally Seized.
LARAMIE, Wyo., April 23.—George
Longpre, local resident, is being over
whelmed by the ardent manifestations of
a wide circle of "friends.”
Reason:
He has just received thousands of dol
lars’ worth of liquors and be.er, handed
over to him by order of the State courts.
Sheriff Trabing hauled the truckload
of items io the home of Longpre under
an order of Judge M. C. Brown, who held
that this "personal property” was unlaw
fully seized by Wyoming peace officers.
Amid the huzzahs of hundreds of on
lookers Sheriff Trabing transferred the
following “Items” to Longpre’s cellar:
Fifty-three cases of bonded whisk/.
One ten-gallon jng of gin.
Four three.-gallon kegs of "liquor."
One gallon keg of ‘qiquor.”
Four one-hnlf-gallon kegs of "liquor"
Twenty bottles of beer.
Forty bottles of “mixed liquors."
The consignment, estimated at local
“bootleg” prices to be worth nearly $20,-
000, was seized at Longpre’s home In
August, 1919, by a squad of State pro
hibition officers. Longpre Immediately
brought action for the return of his
property,’’ and the decision was rendered
In his favor.
