SATURDAY, Marcy, 9, 1918,

THE PREMIER,

Another of B.C,’s promising
statesmen has gone the way of his
fathers in the person-of Premier
BIC. Brewster... A man of whom
great achievements were expect-
ed has been cut off in his prime

and before bis plans could reach

maturity. Premier Brewster,we
believe, had the inlerests of his
country at heart,and it regretted
that his demise at this juncture
has prevented personal super-
vision to the consummation of
his plans, The burden of pre-
miership now rests upon a man
of long experience in public life,
Hon. John Oliver, and ean he but
emulate the example of his pre-
decessor, no more than that eould
be accomplished.

PROTECTS SOLDIERS.
Complete pretection for soldiers
‘who hold free miners’ certificates
and have claims is provided in a
bil introduced ih the provincial
house by Minister of Mines Sloan,
The bill carries into fuller effect
legislation passed by the former
government, It provides that
all miners’ certificates. held by
_any member of the Allied forces
at the Lime of joining up shail be
considered in effcet without fur-
ther payment up te six months
alter the. close of the war. Ail
assessment work upon the sol-
diera’ claims shall be deemed to
have been performed froin July
4, 1914, up to six months afler
the end of the war, so long us
the soldier’s interest in the claim
is not transferred,
privilege is piven in respect to
awnership by soldiers’ in placer
~ claims or lenses, If any soldier’s
‘interest in leases or claims has
lapsed througl* failure to observe
the provisions of the Mineral Act
or Placer Mining Act, it shall ‘be

deemed to be still in operation,

iH soldiers are merely co- -owner's
in ‘claims or ‘leases they are § given
fall protection to the extent of
- their co- ‘ownership, even if the
other: ‘pirtier loases. his: rights
‘through’ failure to live up to. the
gets,
dier the same protection. is given
“.to- any, shear ‘relative who. ‘is, a

ers, This work has-been carried
out in past years, but without
statutory authority... It might be
considered,. said the minister,
that the security demanded by
the government for loang on seed
grain was too strong, but experi-
ence had shown that some farm-
ers forgot about paying back the
loans. Each applicant must sign
4 promissory note, payable on
December 31 following the. date
of sale of seed grain, and must
give a certifieate which shall be
filed as a charge against’ his
lands,

which was sorely-needed, Is now
onits way from Toranto. We
hope thatits use’ by the nurses
ofthe institution will afford them
as much pleasure as-it has been
for the people of the district to
raise the requisite’ amount neces-
sary forthe purchase of the germ-
exterminator. .
