East Koot-enay, represented in the last parliament by Dr. Bonnell, has returned R. E. P.eattie, Liberal, in a three-cornered contest with a plurality of 165. In West Kootenay. the riding formerly represented by Senator R. F. Green, Dr. W. O. Hose, who represented Nelson in the provincial legislature, made the race as a government candidate and was snowed under by Humphreys, tne Farmer-Labor candidate. In Cariboo the combination of the Fanner-Liberal forces proved too much for J. T. Robinson, the government candidate, and Cariboo passes into the Farmer column. The returns are not all In yet, but T. G. McBride'B majority will run into four figures. In Camox-Alberni H. G. Clements, the sitting government member, got the surprise of his career when he apparently was counted out by A. W.
