"You cannot expect me to speak bout Stewart until I have been there," repeated, " but there is one thing can tell you. The trip up here is Imply magnificent. I never Baw such pious scenery.

Two more lives lost. Sandon still in danger. Kaslo fires dying down. Slocan now practically out of danger if the fires do not start up again. This was the situation early this morning as to the forest fires. It is estimated that over five hundred men are fighting the flames in the boundary district. A train at Sandon is waiting with steam up and all ready to start at a munute's notice to take the rest of the refugees away if the wind changes. The fires are now nearly a mile away but every eye is on the weather vane, ready to flee should the wind veer and turn the flames in the direction of the gulch in which the town of Sandon is situated. The fires near Moyie, although temporarily kept back by several rain storms, have again burst out and are now entirely beyond control. A letter has been sent by the Rambler- Cariboo mining company to Premier McBride, stating that the company's loss from the forest fires is easily a quarter of a million, and that the fires could easily have been extinguished had the government taken action two weeks ago. BIG STRIKE ON GRAND TRUNK MACKENZIE KING, STILL HAS HOPES OF ARBITRATION Men Are Backed by American Federation of Labor and Declare They Will Fight to the Bitter End.��� Attempts to Wreck Trains. (Special to the Optimist) Ottawa, July 21.���Minister of Labor Mackenzie King is still in hopes of being able to bring about arbitration in the Grand Trunk Railway strike, although in the ultimatum sent by the men to President Hays the lines were very sharply drawn. The men declare that as the president of the road refused their offer they will now fight for their rights to the bitter end. They are backed by the American F3deration of Labor, and this gives them increased confidence. Several attempts were made yesterday to wreck trains, though but few trains, outside of those carrying the mails, are moving. There is a fruit and milk scare in Toronto and complaints will be coming in shortly from other points if a settlement is not quickly arrived at. STORM BREWING i f F. W. Dowling, meteorological #> observer here, predicts a storm * tonight or tomorrow. He says % the barometer has been falling # steadily. Whether it will be wind 2 or rain or both remains to be J seen. At any rate the hot spell ���f is over for the present. Price, $. ^ Cents ;te���= - PROBABLY NEW STEAMER LINE SPECIAL AGENT OF BLUE FUNNEL COMPANY HERE Captain Bartlett Looking Over Maritime Situation For One of the Largest Shipping Concerns of the World, Connecting With all Ports. Among the passengers on the Prince Rupert, on his way to Stewart, was Captain Bartlett, of the famous steamer Bellerophon. Captain Bartlett is the special representative of what is known all over the world as the Blue Funnel line, at the head of which is Alfred Holt. They have a transatlantic line and also to South America both on the Atlantic and Pacific sides, San Francisco Vancouver and Puget Sound ports. Captain Bartlett's mission in taking the round trip on the Prince Rupert is to make a careful study of the shipping situation, and upon his report, if favorable the company may at once put on a line of steamers from Vancouver, which would give Prince Rupert direct communication with all parts of the world by the boats of the same company until such time as the Grand Trunk Pacific transcontinental line is in operation. Though conditions may not warrant the starting of such a line of steamers now, it is pretty certain this great company will be early in the field. General Killed in Battle New Orleans, July 21.���(Special)��� General Carmen Corea, better known as Colon(the Spanish for Columbus), according to recent despatches has been killed in the Nicaraguan interior. WILLIAMS ADMITS FIRING THE HOTEL "I did it" said G. T. Williams proprietor of the Talbot RoomB when magistrate Carss read to him this morning a charge of setting fire to his premises. The Talbot Rooms took fire Tuesday morning about six o'clock and were saved from total destruction only by prompt action and good work on the part of the fire department and citizens. The origin of the fire appeared Buspicious to everyone. So much so that the fire chief and the chief of police at once began an exhaustive investigation. During the day a great deal of damaging evidence was dug up and when the chief considered that he had a pretty good case Williams was arrested. The arrest was made about 10:30 o'clock last night on the G. T. P. wharf. Williams was taken to the police station Started the Fire in the Talbot Rooms Himself He Wat Arrested at 10:30 Last Night ���Appeared Before Magistrate Carts thit Morning���Purchated Can of Gasoline Three Week t Ago. where he spent the night and this morning he was taken before magistrate Carss. The hearing was behind closed doors, but Chief McCarvell stated to the Optimist that when the charge was read to Williams he admitted his guilt. He was asked if he desired a lawyer and he said he did not. Williams broke down and wept all morning. He said he was very sorry for what he had done and his only excuse appeared to be that he was out of his mind. The gasoline that was discovered in the garret was purchased three weeks ago at Davis boat house and a whole chain of evidence was worked up which connected Williams with the fire which threatened to destroy so much property. The plea of guilty on the part of the prisoner was a great surprise to the authorities and the town people were astounded. Williams was generally held in high regard and few could believe him guilty of so nefarious an act. The chief of police had expected a plea of not guilty and had intended to ask for an adjournment, but these plans were all knocked in the head. Williams was remanded until tomorrow morning when the magistrate will decide what to do with him. The probability is that he will be committed for trial. PRISON REFORMS Winston Churchill Outlines Hit Plant in the Houte of Commons (Special to the Optimist) London, July 21���In the house of commons last night Minister Churchill outlined his plans for the reformation of British prisons. They are the most sweeping character and contain the suggestion of bo many startling innovations that his bill is liable to be killed when it comes up for final passage. Among these are the recommendations that all prisoners be granted a sufficient time in which to pay their fines; also the arrangements for giving lectures and concerts for the convicts in their prisons. TROUBLESOME LLAMA Will Be Asked to Return to Thibet Under Chinese Protection (Special to the Optimist) Victoria, July 21.���According to the news just brought here by a Japanese liner, the Dalai LLama, who is now near Pekin, is to be asked to return to Thibet under the protection of the Chinese government. Having been deprived of most of his prerogatives by the government there his no knowing what course the Great Llame will take. Meantime he is a constant menace to the peace of China, among the people of which his followers number some million.s DR. CRIPPENS ARREST Report From Cardiff at Preterit Lackt Confirmation (Special to the Optimist) London, July 21.���The Cardiff Express came out with an extra this morning, stating that Dr. Crippen and his stenographer Mile. Leneve, who he was passing off as his wife, had been arrested at Langerave, near Cardiff. The report has not yet been verified and there are doubts as to its correctness. Scotland Yard refuses to give out any information on the Bubject. PROGRESS OF THE NEW SEWER BETWEEN FIVE AND SIX HUNDRED FEET OF PIPE LEAD Heavy Iron Pipe Used from Outlet To the Big Manhole���Heavy Rock Cutting Nearly Completed and The Hardest Part is Passed. Coal landB have been staked right into the town of Abbotsford. Prince Rupert's permanent sewer system, the first section of which is being built out of an appropriation of $25,000 made by the Provincial Government, is making splendid progress. It was just five weeks ago that the citizen's committee awarded the contract to S. P. MeMordie & Co and since then the work has been progressing as rapidly as forty men can push it. Only about five days have been lost on account of rain and the past week has provided no interruptions whatever. Mr. MeMordie is personally looking after the contract and his presence has resulted in a very satisfactory job being done thus far, and there is every reason to believe that the rest of the contract will be finished up in the same manner. One noticeable feature about the work is the way that the streets and lanes are being cleaned up after the pipe is laid. In many cases the property is left in better shape than it was in before the work started. At the present time between 500 and 600 feet of pipe has been laid, most of that being cast iron ten inch pipe. This style of pipe is laid from the outlet in the harbor to the first big manhole. It is through solid rock cutting all the way and was used as there is sure to be a little settlement when the street grading and filling in is done and it will stand the test. The sewer is permanent and it is not intended to even have to open it up again. The big manhole is situated on the G. T. P. grade off First avenue towards the harbor. It is 28 feet deep and cut in solid rock. There is only a couple of days work left for the station gang and then the concrete work will begin. The sewer enters the manhole six feet from the top and will thus have a drop of 22 feet to the cast iron pipe which carried the sewage into the harbor. From the top of the manhole to the bed of the creek which runs around the rear of the Grand Hotel, the pipe is laid most of the way. To get over the gully it was necessary to build a testle a distance of 120 feet to meet the grade on the other side. This completed and nearly all the pipes is laid to the second manhole which is in the lane at the back of the hotel. From the manhole to Seventh street the pipe is laid and the trench nearly all filled in. The station gang is now finishing the last heavy rock cut that will be encountered until Sixth street and Third aqenue are reached. This cut ks on Seventh street, and the pipe layers are waiting for the station gang to finish. The sewer will be complete up to Second avenue by the first of August. From Second avenue it will run along to Sixth Btreet, up Sixth across Third to the lane at the rear of Thos Dunn's store and along the lane to Fifth street. Nearly all this distance is through earth and much faster progress will be made. About 150 yards of rock will be found on Sixth street, near the lane, but once the contractors get on to Second avenue a large force will be put on. Thus far Mr. MeMordie has been very fortunate with the blasting, only CONTINUED ON PAGE 8 THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST g^K5mmJ5I5^KK^^KS5mmmJKKKKfti^^isiisi5IK5J5J5IS ist Watch This Page for To-morrow's Big Announcement Bit il i ��� : ..... iaa . :���������! ��������������� l| :���.'���:,. i ! .: ���. . : ��� ; tiir.i ���: ���- ijnri 7 ��� ��� "'i >lni I si ���::. lOlil l ' -M I . .; ;���;.:.:;!,,���. >dj lolla ii '{icl-._.iailaa ���;.')v a ni ba.!n-a. joi vtovo i sierij bns ,ir.l audi mob (Uiou ..I) ) ;.-..>". orlJ iJidJ '.. >:Ixl o. | . n j.n.1:. ���_..!j ni qu borisiiiil ad IIW. i ail) j.jo Ii: oiulfl'jl ald.ia.i.un enO ��� baa nu.!: jdj larfl ���{��'" sdl si sqiq til. lo.ls qu f)9na9la g.iiod ���.I ai v,li qoiq orit eeano naem nl [j'n.ljii ni nn>i i\ aa&i iqarfa isj.ad .ban.: (a _how P03 naa./hd ami) insseiq orfl '/���. ���m ,bial load '������; 1 nqi i io Jm-jI 008 .���j.|h| do ii noi :;oit !_j;o gnigd h:d) : |!;itu oi.J noil bial ai sqiq lo alyta! m gid teiil 9rfl o) lodiad orfl fool biloa rfyl.Olrfl si tl -ilia si lisrfj Bfl bow ��.:v/ bflfl Y.j.vn od) n -.I a >..n :.\ ;.\ bd_ aril mi odl erfj odl lo| ��;: lo 1)1 lb: Sll eri Aii A 11; si A9V9 boJBUM |. 0) simsv .a q9ab |o u ,.li.o |:i::;j noi.f. .riia'jd Hi ; 19I /ia. ! qoib a a loiii./ li'n'l /:<) ti bad si ���ikoi arit ���in bial ���,;!l-<:-; ' slaib H i ad) no a I1BDH bfl bfl >���;��� a .81 il, . grtWaJ : ai lr,\:'7. ���yy.<\\'\ 9 . iqirfa odl lo ijbula Iu .' il li ,;iuii'n aid rtoqi; 0. ������. nb tuq 00:10 ).; -(.am vu' rfoiriw .lavijo'jti!;'/ moil f.iarr -.noo Jo'-iib iisquH gonh'T bhow arij lo sliaq lit rfl1 liinu vnr.qmoo omca aril oi'lia.;'! riiun'f bnuiD t .noilaraqo ni -Ct anil art! iatmifit ion -jam .won ei9rr...9_R lo -y '{nnqmoD laoig sir' a\llB7\ An tomo-Uss iltiil 9_i< b Bi {ii ynillil bnn gnibaig }W9B ��� i(T ..;������ ij orfj bnuiB )l bob/tolfli Jon ai )i b_ia ' .niugc q�� 11 naqo si alorlii.iiii gid 9/IT ,:ai'[ llo ainng ,rl ,T .0 . ���A 32 si 11 .io.l-._ri aril j i aiorlT .>!oot biloa ni! a a.'D lol Jlal }how -.vob lo ' .hu.v ol9i9noD oil not' ior("j; 11 aril inoJno 19V in! s'j'.J lltw bna qol ql ; . ill Ijjio arl. ol lad ailj olni 9jav ol aloilii.-im ot' bfiuoTa eam ���' eql; hIj I 10VO 19 lB9l i; : ���: ' ' ���(.sbo.j'., . nv/on;l iglli .(andrni/IoO a^r! aad' .loiTotni J' d a:l Dollars Will Be Thrown at You $ imimmim�� THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST Professional Cards WALTER & DURANT Consulting Engineers .

READ The Optimist MORE OF THOSE BITTER CREEK YARNS London Telegraph Killed the Sheriff and Number of Others- Ludicrous Errors Made in Stampede Stories. Many columns are devoted to wildly exaggerated reports of the gold finds at Portland Canal by the London newspapers received in yesterday's mails- Lloyd's Weekly says in a double-col. umn article on the front page: "Since the rush to the Klondyke after gold was found there, there has been nothing like the mad stampede that has followed the announcement of the discovery of what is described as a 'mountain of gold' in British Columbia. "Farmers have left their homesteads, traders their shops, artisans their benches to dig and delve for the precious yellow metal. "Amazing stories have been circulated as to the enormous wealth of the strike. The golden reef is said to be 1,000 feet wide and 2,000 feet high, and the ore to assay as much as 12 pounds sterling a ton. "The sudden inrush of gold-seekers has sent the price of all commodities up with a rush, and many traders look like making more certain fortunes by dealing in provisions and other stores than by mining. "As usual, there are a number of lawless men among the immigrants, and already reports of serious rioting have come through." The London Daily Telegraph tells of riots and murders which never were as follows: " A private telegram received in London yesterday from Vancouver reports that serious rioting has occurred near Bitter Creek, the scene of the reported discovery, and that the sheriff of the district and a number of others has been killed. This news is not at all improbable. Mining rushes always bring with them a number of reckless and violent men, who spend a large part of their lives away from civiliza tion, and whose sense of law and order has become atrophied from disuse. "It is said that the sheriff who was killed near Stewart was an Englishman, but no definite news is yet to hand." For exaggeration the following, which appears in the Lloyd's newspaper, is hard to equal. Lloyd's says: "The goldfield itself is seventeen or eighteen miles further inland from Stewart, on Bitter Creek, which runs into the Bear river. Here tented settlements have sprung up, and more prospectors than it is possible to find claims for are living a hand-to-mouth existence, waiting for the privilege of attacking the enormous gold deposit and wrestling fortunes from the hill. "All kinds of vessels are being employed to take gold-seekers to Stewart, and the scenes on the Pacific coast and in the vicinity of the new find are strongly reminiscent of the earlier Klondyke days. The conditions, however, at Bitter Creek, while rough, are far better than those that obtained at Klondyke. It is a thousand mites further south, and being in a mining division of Skeena, is under the immediate supervision of the British Columbian authorities. "But the usual congestion and chaos attending new gold fields obtain at Bitter Creek, Sailors have deserted their ships, tradesmen their shops, workmen their tools, and many are without adequate outfits and almost penniless. "A few days ago two hundred Americans crossed the border at Portal, Saskatchewan, intending to take up land in the province of Alberta. They had hardly crossed the border before the news of the gold find at Bitter Creek was poured into their eager ears. With the exception of five, the whole party immediately abandoned their journey to Vancouver. "A party of Swedes passed through Vancouver en route for the new El Dorado. They had all hired themselves out to farmers, but upon the news of the great find thej left their work to become gold diggers. .1 is stated that in the town of Stewart the only people left there are those who own shops, houses, or hotels, and a few clerks in shipping offices. A population of 5,000 has dwindled to a few hundred.s. "Farmers throughout the western provinces are complaining of the dearth of farm hands, as even those they had secured have left them for the luring temptation of gold getting. "The sudden inrush of gold-seekers without proper preparations had the immediate effect of increasing the price of provisions, and many people are doing a roaring trade in conveying quantities of supplies by ship to Stewart and from there overland. "A private telegram received in London on Tuesday from Vancouver reports that serious rioting has occurred near Bitter Creek, and that the sheriff of the district and a number of others had been killed." The London Standard, of June 28, says: "Unwonted activity prevailed yesterday at the offices of the agent-general for British Columbia as the result of the announcement of the discovery of the gold reef near Stewart City, and the staff were kept busy replying to callers, numbering over forty, and answering letters. To those who asked for official confirmation of the news Mr. Turner, however, was only able to quote the following reply, which he had received to his cablegram to the government office at Victoria; "Office has no definite information Stewart gold reef."

A few days ago when the Optimist drew attention to some grossly exaggerated reports of the Stewart gold fields which were bejng published in the East and in England, the wrath of some of Stewart's boosters was sent down upon the Prince Rupert paper which essayed to tell the truth for Stewart's own good. Since then a number of stories of fabulous wealth in the Portland canal district have floated back to British Columbia from across the seas. Even the London Daily Telegraph, one of the most conservative of papers, prints an article on "the mountain of gold where a thousand stamp mills could be kept going for a quarter of a century." Following this article are enquiries to brokers and agents in Rupert from England asking whether this is true. Of course the exaggerated report has to be denied and Stewart gets a black eye, for the denying of the false belittles the truth. The good that exists in Stewart is buried with the bones of the evil. Stewart is good enough to stand on facts and he who exaggerates or condemns the truth is an enemy of the camp. False reports may bring about a stampede and a temporary boom but the bad effect of the disappointment following will last a long time and be a barrier to permanent and legitimate development. Here is the way a well known sporting paper of England is already joking about the camp: "Have we thrown away a chance of becoming a multi-millionaire? Six or seven years ago we were told of a rich gold field in British Columbia on the very ground that is now being spoken of. We had 500 pounds sterling in a syndicate to buy claims, and the late "New Broom" and the"Dwarf" were also in it. When, however, we were told that tests revealed about 21 cwt. of gold to the ton of quartz we came to the conclusion that it was too good, and so got out, as did our fellow subscribers. It is now said that the mountain is solid gold, and that we have missed a chance of becoming a second Mr. Fairie." NO MORE STAVE WOODEN PIPES TO SE USED FOR WATER MAINS SAYS CHIEF ENGINEER They May Be Uaed for Temporary Fire System���Water Supply Getting Short and no More Services or Extensions Will be Granted. The city engineer reported as follows: In refeard to the report of A. W. Agnew re water main on Ninth avenue. I concur in the suggestion to discontinue putting in stand pipes. In view of the shortage of water at present, no extensions of the distribution system should be made, and only such house services put in as are for some special reason necessary. Three thousand feet of six inch pipe with the necessary special castings have been ordered by Messrs. Peck & Moore, and are expected daily. It is proposed to use this pipe oh Second and Third avenues, the district which would be covered by the Fire Protection System, for which I am now preparing an estimate. I am in favor of discontinuing the use of wooden stave pipe in the distribution ���system. It is possible, however, that your council may decide to use this pipe for temporary fire protection. In that case, at least four hydrants would be needed; I would therefore, recommend that your decision as to how these pipes shall be used be deferred for a few days until I have completed my report and estimate of the temporary fire protection system. A number of plans of the city are in the possession of the G. T. P., of which we have no copies. Copies of these plans are urgently needed. I would recommend that draughtsmen be employed to make copies of these plans at once, permission has been obtained from Mr. Van Arsdol, to proceed with this work. The supply of water continues to decrease. I have this afternoon ordered a house to house inspection of plumbing with the object of having all leaks from this source stopped at once. WM. MAHLON DAVIS City Engineer. THAT BIG GAME OF LACROSSE GEORGE MORROW HAD PEASURE OF WITNESSING IT Declarea it to Have Been One of Greatest Matches Ever Played. Rough Work on Both Sides- Royal City Team the Stronger. George W. Morrow returned from his trip to Vancouver, Mrs. Morrow and two children returning with him. He had nothing to say of any big deals or other financial enterprises having Prince Rupert as the objective point, although he may have been engaged in some. What he seemed to take the most pleasure in talking about soon after he landed was the big game of lacrosse between the Montreals and the New Westminsters. "The principal thing I saw during my vacation," he said, "was the lacrosse match. I believe it to have been one of the greatest games ever played in the world. It certainly demonstrated that the Westminster team was the best and the strongest, although the Montreal team picked from all over, was the best ever sent across the continent. ��� "The game was rought in spots, very rough, and both sides made serious charges against the other. As a matter of fact it seemed to me that the honors were about even on that score. It was a game that kept the crowd howling with escitement all the time. "There must have been sixteen or eighteen thousand people there. They came from all over. I met men there I had lost track of for years. I understand the huge gate receipts were divided between the two teams. The greatest kind of public interest centers in the game to be played next Saturday, when it is expected that the Montreal chaps will make a better showing."

Pattullo suggested that the bottom of the fire hall be fixed up as a work shop. Aid. Mobley said that it was out of the question altogether. The present fire hall is of the most temporary nature. It is set in mud and on stumps and would be altogether too inconvenient for the men even if it were fixed up. The floor of the hall will not begin to hold the automobile and a new hall will have to be constructed for that and then the old hall can be used as water works shop. The Mayor agreed with this and said that if it was going to take so long to get a site from the government to put a cityjhall.'.fire hall or-any other building on the council would simply take a street end and put up a hall. He mentioned the lane along side the B. N. A. Bank where the rock had been dumped. That lane will not be used for many years and it would be a fine place for a fire hall. It was then decided that nothing will be done about a water works shop until a new fire hall is erected.

The number of each box will be on the door. To send in a call you open the door of the box; a telephone will be found inside ; take down the receiver and await a reply from the fire hall. The telephone is connected with a gong in the hall. When a reply is received from the fire hall, give the number of the box from which you are speaking. That will be sufficient. If the number of the box is not given the brigade will not turn out, but the call will be treated as a false alarm.

CITY BUSINESS New Subjects Introduced to the Council Referred to Committees A communication was read to the council from Williams & Manson enclosing bill for extra fees in connection with the city's business amounting to $358.40.���Referred to the Finance committee. Blocking the Streets Aid. Barrow drew attention of the council to the fact that a number of persons were in the habit of leaving their wagons, rigs etc on the streets at night. This he considered a bad practice as the streets were narrow enough without any of ��r obstacles. As Aid rrow is on the Streets committee he was invited to take the matter before his committee. The City Engineer recommended that the council grant no more water services He pointed out that the supply is decreasing rapidly and except in most urgent cases no more services should be granted. The water supply is growing serious. Aid. Smith submitted an estimate of the cost of temporary electric light plant which he had had prepared, the total amount was $5,850. Prince Rupert Lodge No 63.

No contract has yet been awarded for this second section, but it will not be long before one is let and work will be started on it this year. "At the eastern end of our line in British Columbia we have not yet started work. In one year's time we will be working on the eastern end of the road in this providce. We have now a large working force building westward into the Yellowhead from Edmonton. Till that force reaches British Columbia the eastern 'end of the road in this province will not be touched. It is essential to constru- tion at that point that we should have our rails laid westward from Edmonton. "On the western end of the Canadian' Northern in British Columbia construction may be undertaken at many points owing to the accessibility of our route. This will make for speedy work and I am confident we will have the entire line completed a year ahead of time." BUILDING INSPECTOR Ha* Been Busy Looking; After Chimneys and Stove Pipe* The Building Inspector has been getting busy the past few days looking after a number of things which will tend to decrease the fire hazards in the business district. He has secured promises from nearly everyone who had a defective chimney or a stove pipe on the roof to put in proper chimneys at once. He is alto looking after the gasolene plants, and the next thing will be the rubbish heaps, loose paper, straw, boxes, etc., that are left lying in piles or loose. It is thought with the building inspector and the fire chief, the police force should take a hand. It is much easier for a cop to have things cleaned up and straightened out than for any other official. The average person respects, or at least fears, instructions from the police, while other official orders are assented to and forgotten. It is time now that a whole lot of those things were looked after. The Weather Twenty-four hours ending 5 a. m. July 21. Max. Temp. 66.0; min. 46.2. Barometer 5 a.m.. 29.862.
