CIVIL SERVICE SALARY REPORT ALMOST READY House To Hear Report on Practicability of Proposed Increases (oln! to The Tribune) OTTAWA, 9. Pro i Units In the Ho ire ve.sterday contained nn announcement of Interest to Irit nt litre and throughout tlie Dominion. The Civil Scrvlre Working fur some time on the salary rfVlsiun, Is ubout to make a report to the government, which 1 expected to give effect to it. If it should Involve nnv variation ftoni the exiting scales. At affecting ertaln departments, there have been two or three revisions already, but they were not satisfactory.

Last October the government Intruded the CommlsMon to gu It again nnd ee If It wf not possible to work ut a cal with an upward slant to It. Thla Instruction synchronized with the ejection campaign that was then In rOtH'css. there was aotne iiaplcion of political motive. The Commission jnnot be accused of any indecent haste in dealing with the matter, nor is there evidence that they have been poked up ahotit It. Those who hope to benefit huve been impatient, however, and sev ral members, notably Mr.

Stevens, have been inquiring, and it waa in answer to one of these questions that it i now announced that the report to be put in by the Commission. To Equalize Salaries Generally speaking, the purpose Is to equalize salaries to Include what need to be the cost of living bonus. An attempt to do this was made before, but cotnplnlnts came from many sources that government employes under the suggested scale Were actuully getting less than they had been receiving. The fixing of salaries is a prerogative of the Commission, but the government must approve what Is done and 1'arltament must vote the money. The expectation la that in the levelling process something In the nature of a raise will be Involved, although, the cost of clyll government being a source of perpetual complaint in the House, nothing very radical is anticipated.

Whatever is done, about 40, Olio government employes and their dependent will be Interested. Agricultural Estimates A dull day In the House yesterdoy Was consumed by nothing more ex Crltlng than estimates of the agricultural department dealing mainly with fruit. The discussion was legal and rambling, participated in by some who are versed In the subject and by others who knew nothing about It but felt constrained to horn in. Whatever government ts In office the procedure in dealing with estimates Is much the same on the part of the Opposition. It has a caucus and divides up the work, assigning csrtaln members psrtlcularly to ex amine this deportment and others to tea after that, and whatever the merits of the vets there are natural demands as to the why and where (or of it and if any disparity Is Indicated explanations are called for.

Many questions ar pertinent and snany are piffling and business would be expedited If, as has often keen suggested, Hansard should omit lbs verbatim record of what goes on la supply. Mothsrwell Qulued Sir. Motherwell was subjected to Ik lengthy examination, but is pretty handy In reply and If he gets the question at all his answer Is always a top. Much of the talk had to do with the Immble apple that figured In festivities as far back as the marriage feast Thetis and even to the forbidden fruit episode In the Garden of Eden. The discussion Inoculated numerous Conservatives and Progressives with the apple fever and all the afternoon and most of the evening, the growing, fertilising, picking, grading, decking, brandtng and storing of tfl fruit were enlarged upon.

By way of diversion, one adventurous gentleman attempted to Introduce a yrodnct so Interior as turnips. When Mr. Geary, of Toronto, Wanted to know why so many apples a particular brand coma from the tats of Washington, Mr. Stirling from the Okanagan district, explained that they are grown In British Columbia, but not In sufficient quantities to meet the eastern demand. Donald Sutherland bewailed the kind of fruit that Is dished up around the Parliament buildings and said It was not calculated to cultivate a taste or satiate ones uppettte.

He also groused about the price. There was much talk about the appalling sp ead between tht prlre received by the grower snd that which Is paid by the consumer In the central markets and It was blamed on excessive express rate. Rates Double Cost One member said that he gnu a tarret ot apples sent down every ir from Ontario to New liriinswick and the rate. Just Juu percent of the oily tnal cost. Mr.

Ladner, ot Vancouver, wanted to know if new freight rates on 1.1011 v.wiuiiiim UUll WOllitl ne HUO mltttd, and Mr. Motherwell sold "Ve," sdd.iig that that was really where an adjustment of rates was particularly required, Presumably the schedule Is to be submitted to tlie railway boa id. The minister regretted that the Rrowers down in Koa Scotia still "click to the barrel Instead of the box, and referred to the laborious enterprise Involved in landing a barrel in cure's ceiiur. The announcement of the po.siill lty of a new schedule of rates on British Columbia nnd Nova Scoti i fruits was perhaps the most Interest lng pliHse of the whole discussion. Home Conservative members, notably Mr.

Church, advocate notional policy in fruit and Invoked the argument that It is desirable to put up the tariff on apples along the lines the protective principle, pin. Mr. Motherwell was quick to answer that he did not wish to usurp the functions of the advisory board that, is being created to deal with iich things as that. This line of estimates took up nil the day in the House nnd several items got through, after a variety of views had been aired. COAL STRIKE CUTS PURCHASES i (Special le The TrllMinr) OTTAWA.

Today's sessions of the House may bring an announcement of the actual date from Hon.

J. A. Ttobb, minister of finance. This year's budget has been the subject of more than usual speculation on account of the several semiofficial intimations that Jiave been elven of a reduction in taxation. The elimination of some of the stamp taxes, particularly the receipt tax, is regarded as quite probable.

Three cent postage for letters will not likely be touched. Rumor Is also current that exemptions on small fticomes will be increased. Deputations recently have urged that the government exclude from the payment of Income tax all Incomes of less than 11,500 Instead of 1. 1100, as it is at present. It also been asked that tho exemption for those with dependents be Increased from 2,000 to JU.COO.

"The Flin Finn mines alone are enough to Justify construction of a railway, but It Is on the strength of thn country's general potentialities thnt It should be built," Mr.

Campbell said. "There are a good many other mines In the district capnhle of big development if proper transportation facilities were at hand. The Mandv mine sMpped out copper ore during the war and hss a large ore body available yet. At Cold Lake two diamond drills are at work on what Is known as the Stlrritt property. This mine bears copper sulphate ore similar to the Flln Hon and Is located about SO miles north.

There sre the Bnker Puttnn and Rosen mines, also capable of development. "The railway would open up the country Into the gold hearing region around Elbow snd Copper Lakes.
