PRAIRIE PROVINCES
SECESSION MOVEMENT IN CANADA SPONSORS DISAPPOINTED I U.P.A.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright' (Received 26th October, 12.50 p.m.) OTTAWA, 25th October. The Saskatchewan farmers’ move for secession of the Prairie Provinces is disappointing its sponsors. Manitoba and Al u orta are opposed to the proposal, while British Columbia is lethargic. The Premier of Ontario, Mr Hepburn, delcares that the province is at breaking point regarding concessions to the west country in general, paying 30,000,000 dollars loss through the guaranteed wheat price to benefit western farmers, the east paying most of that. The movemenut is based chiefly on the alleged farm implement tariff discrimination and failure of the Government to peg wheat at a dollar instead of eighty cents.
