SELLS ITS BUSINESS TO P. BURNS & CO. The Princess May arrived this morn' I ing with a number of excursionists for Stewart. The number might have been larger but that the sale of Srewart town lots is advertised for Monday and Tuesday and many interested who might have taken the trip were afraid to do so ta tear of missing the sale. Among the mtoble excursionists was Captain John Irving, in whose company no one ever died of thirst; Mr. and Mrs. McGowan engineering superintendent of the G.T.P. Harry Howson, the well-known mining operator of the Skeena; R. Jamieson, brother of the famous engineer who led Johannesberg rebellion; L.D.Ryus, who recently surveyed the new townsite of Portland City opposite Stewart, and Mr. Houston, a Montana mining operator. There were seventy-eight passengers in all, and among those who landed at Prince Rupert were: W. J. Scott, S. J. Men, J. Monteith, J. S. Gilmore, P. Harland, D. Pickens, D. Heaton, H. Lewis, Mr. Baker, W. G. Pinder, J. Smith, L. Barr, W. Jackson, W. Sutton T. Pemberton, Geo. Mulligan, J. A- B. Spand, Mr. Winstat, F. Kobes, D. Fairhaven, Mr. Appleford. (Special to the Optimist).

Burns & Co., to-day closed a deal which has been in progress for some time, with the firm of L. Morrow & Co. for the purchase of their entire northern business. This includes the Prince Rupert and the Stewart markets. P. Burns & Co. are by far the largest meat dealers in western Canada and their coming in here shows the confidence the firm has in Prince Rupert. They will immediately erect one of the largest cold storage plants on the coast. It will be located on the waterfront and with trackage. L. Morrow & Co. have been in business in this country for eleven years. Their Prince Rupert market on the water front was the first store in this city. The Baseball Scores. (Special).

WATER DROPPED A FOOT. Melting Snow, Fallen Trees and Drift Wood Cause of Rise. From the steamer bulletin it will be seen that the water in the canyon has fallen a foot during the past 24 hours. It is still four feet eight inches above zero and it is impossible for the steamers to go either up or down. They can not even navigate the little canyon at three feet above zero. Some of the boats will chance a passage, but not at the present height. The cause of the present sudden rising is the snow melting on the mountains and the freshet carrying the fallen trees and drift wood down to the canyon where it forms a dam and backs the water UP. It is not expected that the high water will last more than a day or two.

"The citizens of Prince Rupert and the Optimist send greetings over- the first wireless from this port." The new station on Digby Island has been completed for some time, but the cable to the Government wire office here just complete. The work since C. P. Edwards was called East has been in charge of C. M. Mclntyre who will remain here a few days yet. The regular operator will be D. A. Cameron, who lives at the station. He will be given an assistant and the station will then be open from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. Commercial message may be sent by wireless at the same rate as by wire. In case of a ten word message 25c goes to the wire system for the cable dispatch and $1.00 to the wireless system. The advantage of tbe wireless will be an auxiliary when the wires are down.

[Special to the Optimist]. May's Landing, N. Y., May 27���In despite the strong circumstantial evidence brought forward by the police, the jury last night, much to the surprise of the crowded court room, brought in a verdict of acquittal in the case or murder charged against William Saylor, and he was set at liberty. The strongest evidence in the case was the evidence of his sweetheart, who make a confession about a week after Saylor's arrest when she herself was in custody for complicity in the crime. Although the prosecuting attorney tried to make out that her testimony was the result of jealousy he weakened it but a trifle apparently, yet the jury seems to have thought differently. Jane Adams the murdered girl, was a pretty stenographer o�� seventeen.

Aylesworth, minister of justice, before leaving for the Hague yesterday, to appear before the inernational tribune in the case of the Newfoundland fisheries, emphatically denied that Canadian representatives had been snubbed at King Edward's funeral. He declared that, on the contrary, they had been most royally treated in every respect. Lumbermen for Coast. Ottawa, May 27���[Special]���Father Boyle has started for the coast with a second train of Quebec lumbermen. There are two hundred in the party, Dempster Starts At Once. Victoria, May 27��� [Special]���W. H. Dempster, assistant right of way man Saylor inveigled her to his room in New York City and she disappeared. Saylor was suspected and a search of his room appeared to show that he had murdered the girl there, dismembered her and burned the body and clothing bit by bit in the stove. His sweetheart in her confession described the state of the room when she entered it shortly after the disappearance of Miss Adams. The case created a profound sensation in New York, especially after the publication of a number of inveigling letters the prisoner had sent to the deceased and other young girls, and the verdict, to the reading public is both a surprise and a disappointment. The city council decided last night as a result of their discussion on the water supply question, to have engineers Agnew and Clements stake 300 inches of water on Woodworth lake for the city's water supply and for the engineers to take such action as was necessary to have it properly recorded. This is the first step towards getting the permanent water supply settled. The council will not consent to pay the Prince Rupert Light and Power company anything as it is not believed that the company has any rights Woodworth and Shawatlans lakes, and if they have it is only after the city's reserve of 300 inches is taken out. The meeting last night was especially to consider the water supply question. There were present, Mayor Stork and all the aldermen, as well as Engineers Clements and Agnew and the city solicitors, Messrs. Williams and Manson. City solicitor Manson thanked the mayor and council for the confidence shown in his firm in placing them in the position of solicitors. They would do their utmost to give the city the very best legal advice obtainable. They would spare neither time, effort or money in carrything this out. The work of the council during the next six months would be the most important of all and they felt the responsibility of their position. In reference to the water question, he said that Mr. Williams was more conversant with it than he and he would get Mr. Williams at once. He had been unavoidably delayed. Street Committee. Aid. Lynch, on behalf of the Streets committee read a report bearing on the water question. In part, the report was that the temporary employment, of street inspectors be referred to the- temporary engineer. That A. W. Agnew had consented to act in an advisory capacity for the regular fees, viz,- $15 per day, except when he had to go out of the city. Action was deferred on the report,, until the regular meeting. W. E. Williams entered and learned the intention of the meeting from the mayor. ; Water Committee. LAST OF BRIDGE MATERIAL. Arrived This Morning For Zanardi Bridge. The The Steamer Nanoose arrived in Port this morning about 10 o'clock towing material for the Dominion Bridge Co., which has the contract for the Zanardi Rapids bridge. This is the last of the material and it is now being transferred from the scows to the cars ready to be run up to the rapids. The cargo consisted of between 500 and 600 tons. Meet Saturday Night. After a very strenuous week, the aldermen decided to take a holiday to-night, so they will not meet until Saturday night. Aid. Mobley presented a partial report from the Water and Fire committee which threw some light on the question and gave the mayor and aldermen a lot of information. A letter from William Manson, M. P. P., was read, stating that the city's water supply was safe. A letter was also enclosed from Robert C. Tatlow confirming Mr. Man- son's letter. The leservation for the 300 inches for the city was made in February 1907. A letter written by Wm. Manson when he was afsistant commissioner of lands was read, objecting to any water records being granted on Ka-ien Island until the city of Prince Rupert had been provide d for. A. W. Agnew explained a report made by Mr. Wilmott, an engineer, on the waters of this island. He stated that they decided that Woodworth lake was the only one suitable for this city as a gravity supply.

The Amur arrived on Monday from Queen Charlotte Islands, and her captain says he experienced very heavy weather crossing the Hecate straits last but that no damage was done except that one or two restless passengers were tossed out of their berths. Ike Thompson, the mining operator, was a passenger on the Amur on his way to Vancouver, in connection with a deal of some Portland Canal Mining property. The islands have been having beautiful weather and there is everywhere a great deal of business activity. The Moresby Island sawmill is running double shift, and has a pile of lumber on the wharf waiting to be shipped by the Petriana to the Westholme Lumber company at Prince Rupert. Mining interests are looking well. The diamond drill at the Ikeda Bay mines is still running and continues to show encouraging results. Among the Amur's passengers, on her way to Vancouver, was W. H. Parsons, who has been visiting his mining property on Collision Bay to make arrangements for resuming active operations. For Sale TWO-ROOMED HOUSE, Cost $150.00. Burlapped inside.

The United States government some time ago made application for permission for the passage through Canadian territory of the troops whom they desire to move from Skagway to Port Egbert by the White Horse pass route. Permission has been granted on condition that American troops will not display any colors while passing through Canadian territory, and that their arms will be stacked in boxes. 'The Dead King." We accepted his toil as our right; None spared, none excused him; When he was bowed by his burden his rest was refused him. We troubled his age with our weakness, The blacker our shame. When he heard that his people had need of him, Straightway he came to us. As receive, so he gave, nothing grudged, naught denying, Not e'en the last gasp of his breath when he strove for us, Dying for our sakes without question, He put from him all that he cherished. Simply as any that served him he served, and he perished. All that Kings covet was his, and he flung it aside for us, Simply as any that died in his service, he died for us. Rudyard Kipling.

The first-white-woman-question in fort George is settled and is now a matter I history. There may be difference of opinion in respect to the discovery of the Lth Pole and also to the merits and merits of townsites, but regarding the |irst woman in Fort George there is no doubt. We have three. They all came on the SS. Quesnel last Sunday, and from appearances there was an evident desire ��� the part of the three to land first. But Mrs. M. V. Halm held the gang plank, and as she had five handsome and bright children en train, she was accorded the position she deserved and walked off the boat amid a bombardment of cameras and well-wishers' salutations. The royal photographer was there and The Tribune ��-ill at some future time reproduce the group. The townsite company had in vew the giving of a lot to the first white woman landing' and 'residing' in Fort George. But the first woman to land, Mrs. Halm, in company with her husband, went direct to their pre-emption in the Nechaco valley. This was believed to have disqualified te from receiving a lot, and making Mis. G. Howser the benefiary, she being the seconf woman to walk off the boat, id who has taken up her residence here. Things appeared complicated for a time; but eventually, through the urbanity and diplomatic suavity of the townsite representative here, W. F. Cooke, the matter has been adjusted satisfactorily to both claimants, and a lot apiece has been granted them. There ends possibly one of the most delicate questions in the annals of Fort George. The lots presented are: To Mrs. M. V.Halm���lot 16, block 9, S. D. 933. To Mrs. G. Howser���lot 17, block 9, S. D. 933. They may be neighbors in time. Board of Trade Organized. Fort George has organized a board of trade. Its permanent officers are: President, A. G. Hamilton, Vice-President, W. D. Kennedy, Secretary-Treasurer, W. F. Cooke, Executive Committee: J. Vincent Shaw, W. J. Mackay, W. F. Cooke, W. D. Kennedy and A. G. Hamilton. Two Articles of Commerce. Shaving costs 25c in Fort George. Whisky is not sold here, because the people who make up the rising city are Christians[with 3 exceptions] and don't believe in wrecking humanity and stunting the growth of succeeding generations. We believe the Attorney-General takes the view toat if liquor is not sold and the government does not receive a license fee a constable is not necessary. Land Staking Contests. The executive committee of the Fort George Board of Trade is making preparations for a First of July celebration in which will be introduced some novel features. In proposed list of sports is included land-staking races for civilians, land- staking races for provincial land surveyors, and townsite-staking races for town- site promoters. A well-defined limit will be set apart for this purpose. Four posts of the regulation size will be a condition exacted in these tourneys, and good clean work will count 90 points. In the last class, foreign promoters, with no knowledge of the country will be barred. Fur Becoming Scarce. With the advent of the settler and surveyor, the trapper has become uneasy. He views with alarm the inroads made into a country that formerly knew of no noise other than that of the cayote and wolf, the honk of the wild goose and the call of the mallard. The trapper cares little for railroads, and less for that disturbing element which accompanies the construction of a transcontinental road through a country peopled so spar sely as northern British Columbia is. The decrease in fur production is quite noticeable in Fort George, and A. G. Hamilton announces a considerable falling off from last year in this respect. He does not expect it to be within $2000 of what it was last year. Following is a shipment he sent out recently: Ninety- eight marten, 22 mink, 17 fisher, 8 lynx, 6 otter, 40 weasels, 90 beaver, 4 bear, 150 muskrats.���Fort George Tribune. Interested in Fort George. The Mercantile Trust Co. of Vancouver finds a universal interest being taken in the Fort George district. This interest, it seems, is not confined to Vancouver or the Pacific Coast even, but reaches all corners of the continent. WEEK'S SAILINGS. From the South.

Cottage City, from Seattle, is due here Wednesday evening. Camosun from Vancouver Friday night. Wireless for Stewart. Instructions have been issued by C. P. Edwards, superintendent of wireless for the Dominion of Canada, to make some tests on Portland Canal in neighborhood of Stewart with the object of finding out if it would be possible to operate a wireless station at that point. These tests will be carried out at once and if successful a station will be at once erected in order to put the new mining communitty in touch with the rest of the world. At present there is no telegraph communication. Portland Canal is badly land-locked and some doubt is expressed as to the feasibility of tee scheme. A series of stations up the canal for he purpose of relaying messages has been suggested but this would be very expensive and until the experiments have been made nothing can be decided. Should it be found impossible to bring the place into wireless communication with the rest of the coast, it is understood that the telegraph wire to Dawson will be tapped and a branch run into Stewart. trader, who has made his home at Fort Resolution for the past ten years.

The company will establish a portable sawmill at Bear river early in the season, and will also start a retail lumber yard at Stewart, for which a million feet of lumber is now on the way north. Third Fur Company. A third fur company is to enter the Northern trade and compete with the two biggest concerns in that line in the world, the Hudson Bay Company and Revillon Brothers, of Edmonton. The new company will be known as the North West Fur Company, and will be under the management of Robert Mc Lenegan ,a well-known independent fur Warships for Canada. Three British shipbuilding firms have advised the department of marine of their readiness to establish yards in Canada for the construction of ships for the Canadian navy.

Friday, May 27 ALBERTA'S NEW PREMIER. The turning over of the Government of Alberta from Rutherford to Clifford Sifton is a good strategic move by the Liberals. The Hon. Clifford Sifton is accustomed to big jobs ancl ;irobably no other man could save that government for his party. Hon. Clifford Sifton is one of the most talented politicians Canada has ever had. His policy of developing the prairie provinces was'one of progress and success. He opened the west and advertised it as it was never done before, or since. Unfortunately all his energies were not devoted to the upbuilding of Canada. Like many B����ther successful politician he was not satisfied with the emoluments of office unci (he appreciation of his party. He believed in helping himself, and he did. His fortu���� is now many millions, and the basis of it was in the advantage he had in his public office Hon. Clifford Sifton is a clever man, but an expensive one. However, it has been said of him that Canada could afford to pay him $100,000 per annum for his services, and if Alberta can pay the price he will probably be a profitable investment for that pfovince. In a year or two, Edmonton , the seat of the Alberta government, will be only a day's journey away���the closest city neighbour of Prince Rupert. The policy of the new premier will thus be watched here with more than common interest. Like 'ill successful men, Clifford Sifton has many enemies in his own camp and many admirers without. He has, in the past, proved himself bigger than his critics and his ascendency to the control of Alberta's administration will be marked with applause and optimism. The expressed opinion of the new city council and city solicitor that the city's claim on the water of Shawatlans and Woodworth lakes cannot be overridden by the Prince Rupert Light and Power Company, is rather a quick change from the election criticism of Manson and McBride. It is probably an unintentional compliment to the Provincial Government and its local representative. TO HEAR ELEVEN CASES. PERSONAL County Court Opens On June 1st Before Judge Young.

OUTSIDERS ARE BUYING. Prince Rupert Agencies Have Put Through Several Small Sales. Real estate continues to improve and more sales are being reported daily. Out side money is coming in more rapidly and that is what is needed. Yesterday, Prince Rupert Agencies reported the sale of several properties to outside parties. Lot 11, block 6, sectnn 1 was sold for $2,000. to D. Helm of Idaho,. The same gentlemen also bought lots 9 and 10 in block 18, section 7 for $1,400. W. C.

Mrs. Cochrane was a passenger on the Amur for Victoria and Vancouver to select a stock of groceries for her new store. She is expected back next week, and it is said that the cost of living in Queen Charlotte will then take a sudden drop. Nothing has yet been definitely decided in regard to the proposed new wireless station at Lawn Hill, in the neighborhood of Queen Charlotte City, but it is very probable that this work will be done during the present summer.

CONTINUED FKOM PAGE 1 i of a stream flowing into Shawatlans To pump for temporary supply, the mter could be brought from Shawatlans lake A thirty inch pipe line, 15,000 feet long would cost $80,000. This does not include the pumping station. Mr. Agnew stated in reply to Aid. Hilditch that Mr. Woodwork's record covered all the water in Woodworth lake and streams flowing out of Shawatlans lake, and even more than he could get from these waters at low water. Solicitor's Opinions. Mr. Williams was then asked to address the council. He said that the first application of the company was put in prior to the reserve. But the reserve for 300 inches for the city was made before the company's record was granted. The question was which had the first right. The city's reserve stated that the city was not to go to Woodworth lake, or the streams tributary thereto, unless an efficient water supply could not be reasonably secured from Shawatlans lake. Before going to Woodworth lake tie city must prove to the satisfaction cl the executive that the other sources wte not possible. (Then asked, the Premier said that lie would have no hesitation in stating that if a gravity supply could not be secured from Shawatlans lake, then the city could go to Woodworth. Next the company must have their undertaking approved by the Lieutenant- Governor in Council. The company was also subject to time limit in beginning operations. The company secured the approval in 1908. The company was to start work and have $25,000 capital sub- cribed by March 1909. This they failed to do and applied in March 1909 for' an extension of one year from March 16th 1910 and not having to start work until a year from May 1909. Mr. Williams stated that it was a question whether the company had any rights whatever on Woodworth or Shawatlans lakes. They should not have been given an extension of time, although they were given an extension under the old act. The option given by the company to Prince Rupert gentlemen provided that company must produce a good the and proper title. To do that the company would have to go before the courts to prove it. General Discussion. Aid. Hilditch strongly favoured staking the 300 inches at once. Aid. Mobley did not think that there was the remotest doubt but that the city would get that 300 inches and to Wove that it was the only water supply, "hat bothered him was that 300 inches Wjud supply only 70,000, and this City will be larger than that. What would the city do then? ,TJie mayor did not think that the Clt5's Position would be prejudiced at a" by staking that 300 inches.

Northern British Columbia and the Yukon Territory are entering upon a period of unprecedented activity. This is due, we understand, not only to internal prosperity but to the exceeding rapid influx of poulation and capital from outside points. In these two supremely important factors, the north is this summer singularly fortunate. Every steamer that leaves Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco and Victoria, to say nothing of the many other shipping ports on the Coast, bears its contribution of men, money, and supplies. Not a day passes in the north without the cargo of a ship leaving the docks covered with bundles of personal effects, groups of new comers; and scores of busy conveyances. We can draw but one conclusion from all this. The great northern country is witnessing an area of development and industrial progress that, even for it, is marvellous. If not, why the tremendous number of commercial enterprises now being started or increased from their present size.? Why the interest in mining, fishing and shipping that is just now acting as a magnet to capital from every city in America, and is drawing men of experience and ability from every walk in life? Such capital is not expended, such men are not recruited, in our opinion, for any 'fly-by-night' or 'wildcat' scheme. It is the lure of the northern gold; that strange irresistible call that draws men to it no matter where they be. The new towns, the gold specked river sands, vast spaces of mountain and plain, rushing river torrents, weird, silent, lonely places, want men, and they send forth their voices to civilization for them. It is true that, at the beginning of every season, men rush north. But it is just as true that this season's operations are vastly larger than any since the fam- ous'rush' fourteen years ago. The significant part of the operations, as we see them, is the fact that so many permanent townsites are being staked out and settled, and so many new cities are being built. We point to Prince Rupert, Port George, Stewart, Port Essington, and a host of others. They indicate the remarkable growth of the province in all sections. Going further north, take into consideration the mining properties that are being exploited, with every facility that modern engineering skill can suggest, in the neighborhood of Dawson.--Opportunities.

An Evening in Scotland and Ireland, Mclntyre Hall, To-night and Saturday Night, May 27 and 28. Miss Duthie is to appear for the first time before a Prince Rupert audience as an exponent of the folk lore arid national songs of Ireland and Scotland. She is a lyric Soprano from Aberdeen in the Land o' Cakes, and in her songs and sketches of the life and character of natives of the Thistle and Shamrock she dresses the character presented and thus adds to the force of the vraissem- blance attempted. Press notices describe her entertainment as a very enjoyable one MONORAIL FOR ALASKA. Alaska Northern Will Extend Its System With It. John Ballaine, one of the principal promoters of the Alaska Central, now known as the Alaska Northern Railway, has secured the exclusive right of Brennan's monorail for Alaska and he intends to organize a company at once. He plans to build a system from Mile 29 on the Alaska Northern Railway to Moose Pass. If practicable the system will be extended from Moose Pass to Fairbanks. Mr. Ballaine says he has seen practical demonstrations of the working of the monorail cars and he knows that they can be operated successfully as far as Moose Pass. He believes that the monorail cars will revolutionize railroading in Alaska and provide the best means for finally covering the territory with railroads to all the main centers of population. He says the cost is not to be compared with that of building standard guage railroads. Railway For Iditarod. A syndicate of New York capitalists, headed by A. L. Scheur, have acquired the right of way of the Alaska Short Line and will send a corps of engineers north to being operations in railroad building. It is their intention to have the road completed from Iliamna to Kuskokwim, tapping the Innoka and Iditarod in 1911. Compressor for Stewart. The Portland Canal Mining Company is arranging for the purchase andinstall- ation of a compressor plant at an early date. New Whaling Station. A new industry, which will rival anything on the Coast at the present time, is about to be opened on the Queen Charlotte Islands. It is known as the Queen Charlotte Whaling Company, the incorporation of which is now being proceeded with. The capital is from Vancouver and Victoria, and some first-class business men are said to be associated with it. Light for Stewart. Piping, lighting and pumping plants and a boiler have arrived here for the Stewart-Portland Canal Light, Water and Power Company. This is to serve temporarily for the wants of the town pending the installation of a hydro-electric plant next year on the Marmot River, where a where a large water right has been secured. Then the company will sell power to the various mines. Owing to the presence of glacial mud and other impurities in the creeks, a water supply will be secured by sinking wells from which the water will be pumped to a reservoir and thence distributed by gravity. G. K. Williams, consulting engineer, is here with the plant and will direct the installation work. The reservoir will have a capacity of 30,000 gallons. The directors are Messrs. R. M. Stewart, Harry Howson, William Piggott, Victoria; William Noble, George K. Williams, and S. Garnham of Stewart. Portland Ccnal Miner. IF YOU WANT TO KEEP POSTED ON CURRENT EVENTS SUBSCRIBE FOR THE DAILY OPTIMIST. CHARITY or BUSINESS ��� Which?��� THE germ of both Life and Fire Insurance had its rise in the custom of taking up a collection for the stricken family. We all chipped in in the hope and expectation that if we were snuffed out by either sickness or accident, the neighbors would do as much for us. Life insurance avoids the uncertainty of leaving things to neighbors. It is a business plan, founded on laws of mathematics and sound economy, to provide for those dependent on us in case of death. Life insurance is no longer a charity, or quasialtruism, any more than fire insurance is. Life insurance is a duty and a privilege. To eliminate the distressing results of death, through insurance, payable to business partners, wife, or children, seems but common prudence. Lord Nelson in his will left his wife and daughter "to the tender care of the British Nation, to which I have given my life." And the wife and daughter- gravitated to the Poor House; for what is everybody's business is nobody's business. Don't leave your loved ones to the care of the public or the neighbors. The neighbors may have troubles of their own. Cut out the risk and worry by insuring in the Sun Life of Canada The cost is nominal; the results phenomenal. Let us talk the matter over with you. F. B.

Stand Pipes Will Be Erected Benefit of the Citizens. for Aid. Mobley is responsible for the council issuing instructions to Engineer Agnew to have a couple of s^and pipes erected at Hays Cove for the benefit of the forty odd families living in that locality and who need water.fS The alderman pointed out that the present supply from the little creek was getting very low. A number of houses were drained into it and the water in the creek is not high enough to carry it away. He stated that a couple of stand pipes would enable the residents to secure pure water for drinking purposes and for all purposes which they might desire to use it for. Dunedin Billiard Hall. The Dunedin Billiard rooms and bowling alley is one of the best equipped in town. It has three alleys and an English billiard table, an American billiard table and five pool tables. Ed. Morrison the proprietor, used to be with Mc- Caron, in the well known pool room of Toronto. He is arranging an international bowling match between Ketchikan and Prince Rupert, the return match to be played at Ketchikan on the fourth of July. Visit of Sir Wilfrid. The western itinerary for the western tour of Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier, is planned for him to spend twelve days each in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Albertr, and fourteen days for British Columbia. From Vancouver he will go to Victoria and after delivering an address in the capital, will board a special car on the E & N., visit Duncan, Chemainus and Ladysmith, and arriving in Nanaimo, will deliver address there, embarking from that port for Prince Rupert. Juneau's Political Squabble. Wickersham has filed charges protesting against the removal of Sutherland and Boyce. He asserts that they were removed on false and secret information furnished by the attorneys and lobbyists for the Alaska Syndicate Katalla Company, aided therein by Governor Walter E. Clark, of Alaska. The charges assert that the officials were removed in order to prevent Sutherland and Boyce from securing the indictment and conviction of John Carson and Captain D. H. Jarvis for bribery and corruption of witnesses and jurors in the case of the United States vs. Ed. C. Hasey. Select fresh eggs at Morrow's markets; 3 doz. for |l. FIRST CONCRETE BLOCK. R. C. Hyde Will Award The Contract In Two Weeks. R. C. Hyde of Los Angeles is in the city in connection with his local properties and the new building he will shortly have started. Mr. Hyde expects to let the contract for the construction of a concrete block of stores at the corner of Third Avenue and Seventh Street in about two weeks. He is receiving bids from the contractors now and in a few days he will make a trip to Spokane and back and will then award the contract. The prospects are that this building will be the first of the permanent buildings to be erected here. Once this class of structure is started others will follow rapidly. Mr. Hyde has had'.considerable experience in building and has some valuable properties in other cities. This block will at present be only one storey but the foundation and walls will be heavy enough to carry a three storey building for which the plans have been made. The second and third floors will be added as required. New Hot el Started. Work has been started on the foundation for Bird's new hotel at the corner of Fraser and Sixth Streets.
