"What proportion of corner lots appeared in the list of your selections?" asked the chief justice. "Less than-one-sixth," was the reply. Mr. McPhillips, counsel for plaintiff, asked for the production of the record of prices. "They are on their way from Winnipeg," said Mr. Davis, counsel for defendant. The chief justice asked that evidence be brought out dealing with the point as to whether the agreement did or did not come within the limit of the stature of frauds. If no prices were communicated to Mr. Frewen was the bargain completed? he asked. Mr. Davis said he would bring evidence as to that, and for 'the production of this evidence an adjournment was allowed to Monday.

From the Pacific Coast Fire Supply Company of Seattle, offering to submit quotations on fire fighting apparatus. In discussing the letter from the Publicity Club the aldermen were very much opposed to it, and Aid. Pattullo and Lyrwh moved that the secretary be notified that the council was unable to assist in this matter. The aldermen feel tlrot such things should pay their own way. J. S.

The next step is awaited with some apprehension and the general opinion is that a strike will be declared.

UNIVERSITY COMMISSION HERE. Looking Over Prince Rupert as a Probable Site. Prominent Educationalists Arrived in Prince Rupert and Looked Over the City���Visit Unknown to Public ���Leave for Victoria To-night. The university commission which will decide upon the location of the University of British Columbia, arrived in Prince Rupert yesterday noon on the Prince Rupert and will leave tonight on the same boat for Victoria. The vis itors are some of the most distinguished educationalists in Canada and Prince Rupert feels honored by their visit whether this town is elected for the new institution or not. The personnel of the commission is R. C. Weldon president of Dalhouse University at Halifax and the man who has started more great men on their way to prominence than any other in the country. Among his pupils are Premier McBride and Attorney General Bowser; Rev. Canon G. Dauth, vice vioar of Leval University, Montreal; Dr. C. C. Jones, Chancellor of the University of New Brunswick at Fredericton; O. D. Skelton, Professor of Political Economy in Queen's University at Kingston, Ont., and W. C. Murray, President of the University of Saskatchewan at Saskatoon. These gentlemen were commissioned by the provincial government to visit the principal centres in British Columbia and make a recommendation as to the city or town which would be best suited as the seat for the provincial university and the educational capitol of the province. They have been laboring with that end in view for the past six weeks and have visited Revelstoke, Vernon, Nelson, North Vancouver, Vancouver, Victoria, New Westminster, Kamloops and last but not least, Prince Rupert. President R. C. Weldon and Dr. C. C. Jones said to the Optimist yesterday "We arrived on the Prince Rupert yesterday and have gone carefully over the town and will leave this evening again for Victoria. As far as the university subject is concerned we cannot say much. We are only to determine the location. We have nothing to do with the particular site. We have been very favorably impressed with Prince Rupert and it is extremely interesting to watch the development here. We believe that a great city will be built up here and that Prince Rupert will take a prominent place in the world's commerce. We are more than surprised at and impressed with British Columbia and its resources. It is a splendid province with a great future." "Will you visit any other towns before you prepare your report?" was asked by the Optimisy. "No replied Mr. Weldon, we go to Victoria tonight and then back east. We will likely reach an understanding as to our report while in Victoria, although the report itself will probably not be presented until later on." "Have you been met by any committee since your arrival?" queried the newspaper man. "No," was the answer." we sent no notice ahead as we prefer to work quietly Some towns do themselves harm by advertising our visit in advance. We did not wish to be discorteous to Prince Rupert but we prefer to be left free of any committee or deputation." This afternoon the commissioner intended to complete their work an^ depart on the Prince Rupert at 8 this evening 30 NO DECISION FOR A WEEK MESSAGE RECEIVED BY ACTING MAYOR MOBLEY Matter Referred to a Full Meeting of the Cabinet, Which Will Be Held Next Week ��� Early Decision Is Not Expected. There will be no decision on the city's application to the government for 300 inches of water from Woodworth lake until next week. The parties interested were heard yesterday and last night, while the council was in session. Acting Mayor Mobley received a wire from Mayor Stork who is with the deputation in Vancouver. It is hardly expected that the decision will be given before July 1st or, until after the option held by the citizens, has expired. The telegram received by acting Mayor Mobley is the only message received on the matter and it is as follows:- Vancouver, June 22, 1910. Acting Mayor F. H. Mobley : Decision re application for water record deferred to full council meeting next week. F. STORK, Mayor. THREE SHOT BY BANK ROBBER COOL DARING AND DETERMINATION REMARKABLE Exploded Bomb in Adjoining Building to Distract Attention and then Entered Imperial Bank and Killed Manager of Institution. Chancery Court Decision London, June 23.���(Special)���The chancery court has granted the applications of the British Columbia Electric company for permission to acquire gas works, mining and lumber properties. (Special to the Optimist) Frcidburg, Hesse, June 23.���A most dramatically-thrilling attempt to rob a bank took place here yesterday. The robber demonstrated his coolness, daring and determination in the most remarkable manner. He did rob the bank and he escaped earthly punishment. The nefarious scheme of the robber was well laid. First he exploded a bomb in a building adjacent to the Imperial bank, which was the institution he purposed looting. The explosion of the bomb naturally called public attention in that direction, and while the assembled crowd were wondering at and investigating the occurrence the robber entered the bank. All but the manager had been called to the front of the building by the explosion and the manager was alone. He resisted the entrance of the robber and was shot. The robber then entered the cashier's cage, grabbed up all the gold and bank notes he could find and while the crowd was still distracted over the bomb ex- ��� Continued on page 5 1 THE PRINCE RUPER1 OPTIMIST LAND PURCHASE NOTICE Queen Charlotte Island Land District. ���District of Skeena.���Notice Is hereby given that I, Rowland l'\ Taylor, of Victoria, occupation bank manager, intend to apply for permission to purchase the following described land: Commencing at a post planted about half a mile W., then three miles S. from the S.K cornei' of timber limit No. 37046, being the S.E. corner of the land applied for; thence SO chains N.; thence 80 chains W.; thence 80 chains S.; thence 80 chains B. to point of commencement, containing 640 acres of land more or ROWLAND F.

The bowling alleys in the Dunedin block, Second avenue, are now in charge of Harry E. Ross, an expert bowler and a first class man in the alleys. He has had years of experience as manager of alleys in other cities including North Yakima where he was particularly successful. It is Mr. Ross's intention to get several teams organized in Prince Rupert at once and start the first tournaments. Valuable prizes will be hung up and everything done to make the game attractive. One night a week will be set aside for team bowling. Special arrangements will also be made to accommodate the ladies in the afternoons. The game of bowls is popular in social circles in many of the cities in Canada and also in the states. It will also prove to be popular here once the ladies break the ice and play their first game. There are four modern sound proof alleys which are well lighted. All who are interested in the game should assist Mr. Ross in getting the clubs organized. LAUNCHING NEW STEAMER Prince Rupert's Lusitania Christened in Kaien Harbor. Observant citizens might have noticed yesterday a new vessel proceeding along Second avenue and down Centre street to the waterfront. It was not proceeding on its own steam but on a truck. Arrived at the launch float the local Lusitania took the water like a duck, but soon showed signs similar to those a duck would show if perforated by No.2 bird shot under the left flipper. She keeled over, and the crowd of godfathers at the christening cruelly laughed, But the next time she comes up to the font she will be all right and perhaps prove a hummer.

CONESSES TO MURDER CHARGE CLAIMS HE KILLED FARMER IN SELF DEFENCE Victim Believed to have had Twenty- five Thousand Dollars in His Possession at Time He Was Murdered.���Woman in Case. Portland June, 23.���Jesse Webb, the printer arrested on suspicion of having murdered William Johnson, a farmer, has made a confession. He admits that he killed the man but says it was the result of a quarrel and that the fatal blow was struck in self defence. The police have discovered that the woman arrested as Mrs. Johnson was not his wife but a woman who had been living with the deceased named Mrs. Kersh. They declare that she planned with Webb to murder Johnson, to take his money and then elope. This they were in the act. of doing when arrested. The $25,000 which the deceased was supposed to have in his possession is missing and no trace of it has yet been found. Grant for Stewart Sewers Victoria, June 23.���Government will grant another $20,000 to Stewart, for the construction of a sewer system. HAZARDS OF LOGGERS More Fatal Accidents than in Other Occupations. Casual investigation of the records of coroners' reports and inquest verdicts for a period of twelve months past discloses the surprising fact that the men of the provincial lumber camps give up their lives in their perilous occupation or are bruised and fatally maimed if not killed outright by accidents therein, more often than the followers of any of the other extro-hazardous trades, not excluding railroading, coal mining or powder manufacture. The chance of death with the lumberjack is "all in the day's work." His calling removes him from his family or his friends other than those of the camp; and ��� the fatal accident when it does come to claim him as another victim in the conquest of the forest, as a general rule is heard of by the outside world days or perhaps weeks, after its occurrence. Coroners' inquests In the cases of sudden or violent deaths in the logging camps may be roughly computed as in the ratio of one in three of such humble tragedies, the cases of obvious accident being so many that official investigation would be merely a vexatious formality, and therefore is dispensed with. No fewer than three reports of this character were contained in the attorney-general's mail recently, two being from Dr. Jeffs of Vancouver, and the third from one of his Kootenay confreres. These three reports give one a glimpse into the perpetual menace of the logger's life. One of the victims whose death is told of was John Beck, employed at Nels Moran's camp at Hemming Bay. "On May 19," the coroner, Dr. Jeffs, reports, "he was engaged with Thomas Fladerland in felling a tree When the tree started to fall, both ran to what they considered a safe distance. But the tree in falling struck a dry tree, the top of which broke in several pieces. One of these struck the deceased on the head, fracturing his skull.. Death must have been instantaneous. No inquest was considered necessary." Charles Johnson was a logger engaged at Evans Bay, Read Island, with John Swanson in getting out timber on contract for Walron Campbell. Swanson, who brought the body of his partner to Vancouver, told the story of how death came to Johnson and Dr. Jegs recorded the tragedy in a few brief but sufficient lines: "Johnson remained on the springboard when the tree started to fall. The top of the tree caught a standing tree, and it slid back on the stump. Johnson jumped, but too late. He was caught and crushed against the log, his head and body being badly mangled. No inquest was necessary." Another case was that of Patrick Morran a logger working a fortnight ago in a camp six miles east of Cascade, and himself one of the picked men of the crew. The' district coroner writes of the passing of Patrick Morran: "His death was cuused by a violent blow in the stomach or solar plexus, dealt by a long cedar pole which was made to rebound when struck by a tree that was felled across it. No inquest was adjudged necessary. DAWSON TO IDITAROD Crowds of Stampeders Dumped into Yukon Valley. Dawson, June 14.���The packet Susie which sailed today, carried nearly 400 people, two-thirds of whom are billed for Fairbanks and 110 for the Iditarod. A special privilege was obtained from officials to carry 100 extra, included in the number stated. Many are sleeping on decks and along the guards, where wood was piled before days of oil. A large barge carries baggage. Thousands of people from Seattle and other Coast points have been dumped into the basin in the last five days, largely for the Iditarod. PASSENGERS BY BALLOON. Propitious Opening of the First Airship Line of World. Frederickshaven, June 23. ��� Count Zeppelin made a most satisfactory flight in his dirigible balloon the Deut schland yesterday, carrying ten passenger and crew from here to Dusseldorf. This is a distance of three hundred miles and was made without a single stop. The passengers expressed themselve as pleased with the trip and the company behind Count Zeppelin announces it will at once get out a regular schedule of sailings and add to the number of its dirigible balloons for the airship line as fast as they can be constructed. Hikes Back to Yukon There is in Vancouver's submerged world a woman pillowed in lovely idleness whose pagan beauty and dancing mood draws men to her as bees are coaxed to poison flowers. Came into her spider-parlor one Bill Lafrican, red - healthy, joyous- minded as a summer day is long, and big as a grizzly. Bill is just out from the Yukon with a heavy poke, blood running in madness, and the memory of four gray years of snail-paced honey- less days to live down in two weeks. Bill was parched and starved for the warmth of a good time and would have filled his two weeks with golden hours rich-orcd in wild pleasures. He desired the light o' love all to himself, but she held a dozen men at her little heals, and her languishing life was already full of beewihe of delight. So she gently told Bill to beat it while his shoes were good and continue his spending jag in the next street. She handed him the chilly-fingered mitt, which saddened Bill, who is not deep learned in woman's lore. So from the temple port of Venus he turned to whiskey for consolation. It was an old trail for Bill, but the whiskey was better than the liquor he had been used to. He told his edda in the police court. He is now a woman-hater. It's back to the creeks for Bill. The sourdough biscuits, the boiled tea, the fat bacon, and the smoke of the smudge-fire will be goocl enough for Bill for some time. "Into each life some rain must fall"��� but never forget that rain is one of the finest things known for the skin! PROSTRATIONS AND TORNADOS DEATH REAPING HIS USUAL SUMMER HARVEST Fatalities Due to Extreme Heat Recorded in New York, Boston and Baltimore.���Tornado Demolishes Buildings at Gladstone. New York, June 23.���Following the great rainstorm of Saturday the mercury has been climbing up every day and yesterday it stood at 105 in the shade. Three deaths are reported from heat prostration, out of a number of cases that were taken to the hospitals. Intense heat is reported from other points. At Washington, D, C, which is noted for its mild climate, the thermometer registered 102 yesterday, an unusual record for the capital. Three deaths from the heat occurred in Boston and eight serious cases are in the hospitals. In Baltimore ten deaths from the heat were recorded yesterday. Gladstone, Man, June 22.���A tornado struck this place last night, demolishing the skating rink, blowing down a factory smoke stack and doing damage to other buildings. The heat had been terrific, reaching 102 before the storm broke. There were no fatalities. RAINSTORM OF WHISKEY Good Old Maryland Rye Flows Free Down Hills Baltimore, June 14.���After pouring for a week it poured whiskey in Baltimore country Sunday night. Good old Maiyland rye streamed out of 3,000 barrels down the hill over pastures and potato patches to Gwynn's Falls, which flows by the suburban towns which dot the line of the Western Maryland railroad. For miles and miles the odor of whiskey filled the atmosphere. The cause of it all was the collapse of a nine-story warehouse of the Gwynn Brook Distill ing company near Gwinn's Mills from the effect of the recent heavy rains, which undermined the foundations. There were 20,000 barrels of whiskey stored in the warehouse, 8,000 barrels of which went down with the portion of the structure that fell. TWO MINERS KILLED Caught Without Warning by Fall Of The Roof. Fernie, B, C, June 18.���Mike Dannis, single, aged 26 years, and F. K.

Thursday, June 23 THE FUTURESCOPE. Suggested extracts for the second edition of vonDohlen's Herald, issued 1920: A grand opening of the Provincial Government wharf is expected to be held sometime next year. This work was commenced when Hon. Richard McBride was Premier of the Province. Several faithful old workmen who have given this job their lifelong attention will probably lead in the procession of aeroplanes. It is rumored that the post office department intend opening the mail service on the G. T. P. boats next summer. The announcement that these boats had started on the Vancouver-Prince Rupert run in June 1910 reached the department some years ago but the clerks and deputies and messengers have just succeeded in unraveling the red-tape. The mayor has given the blind pigs another 24 hours to close up shop. This joke was originated by one Alfred Stork who was mayor in 1910. The subsctructure for the Zanardi Rapids bridgeis now well under way. New steel for the superstructure will be ordered as the original shipment which has been stored along the grade has now entirely rusted away. The debate on the question of installing a municipal electric lighting plant has been adjourned by the city council until next week. The Non- progressives claim that having gone without lights for twelve years Prince Rupert does not need them now. The citizens have learned to see in the dark. FOR LOCAL IMPROVEMENT ALDERMEN SPEND AN EVENING CONSIDERING OUTLINES Aldermen Spend an Evening considering Outlines of System to Govern all Street and permanent Work.���Tax Lands Only. A general by-law to provide for the assessment of real property benefited by local improvements, was considered by the council in committee last night. The. chief clauses of that by-law are> The cost of constructing such work will be charged up to the land immediately benefited thereby. The council may by resolution determine and specify what work or improvements will be carried out. Copies of such resolutions will be sent to the engineer and assessor to report on. Those officials will prepare plans, determine the cost and the proportion to be paid by the lands benefited, also the probable life of the work. The works of local improvement shall consist of:- The creating, opening or making of a new street. The widening, extending, prolonging, constructing reconstructing or altering of an existing public street. The paving or macadamizing or planking, grading or building any street, lane, alley, public way or place, or any bridge forming any part of a highway, or a sidewalk, or of curbing, sodding or planking of any street, alley or other public place, or reconstructing as well as constructing any work in this and the previous sub-section. All other works provided by the Municipal Clauses Act as "local improvement work" will also come under this by-law. Such things as crossings, street intersections, bridges or public streets or places considered by the engineer to be of public benefit shall be paid for by the city at large. After the engineer and assessor report upon any work to be constructed as a local improvement notice shall be be published in at least one newspaper in the city. To stop the work going ahead the property owners interested submit a petition to the council signed by half the owners representing half the assessable value. If the petition is not received the council will proceed with the work. It will be noticed that this by-law provides only for a tax on the lands benefited by the improvement. Buildings, stocks and other improvements on the {lands are free. It is the beginning of a single tax system.. It will also be notices that it does not provide for a straight frontage tax, but property, in the opinion of the city engineer, immediately benefited shall pay a proportion of the cost according to the assessed value of such land. The by-law does not set out any street or district as a local improvement district, but merely the general rules to apply to subsequent by-laws that will define specific local improvement districts. Before this by-law is passed another evening will be spent upon it as a few additions must be made to it. MARINE City of Seattle arrived here at half past eleven last night, crowded with passengers for Yukon and Alaska. Among those who took passage in this city for the north was H. Neely.

BIG WELCOME TO PRINCE ALBERT UPON HER FIRST TRIP TO THE ISLANDS Address of Appreciation was Tendered to the Captain and Crew.��� Citizen* Joined Heartily in the Reception���Address in Full. When the Grand Trunk Pacific's new boat Bruno arrived at Masset on her first trip she found the citizens there had flung banners to the breeze from every point of vantage about the wharf and that a great crowd had assembled to give a welcome. As the boat was being made fast the cheering was renewed again and again. Then a delegation went aboard and presented an address on behalf of the citizens', praising the Grand Trunk pacific for its enterprise in giving increased transportation facilities. Captain Wearmouth made a suitable reply. After this corks began to pop and general jubilation filled the air. The address of the Masset Citizens read as follows:- To Officers and Crew, Grand Trunk Pacific Steamship "Prince Albert", on the initial Trip to Masset, B. C. Gentlemen,���On this auspicious occasion, marking another milestone in the march of progress in this glorious province, we welcome to our shores the first steamship of the Grand Trunk Pacific Line, which will add so materially in the up-building, not only of our province, but of this section which, up to the present has been so little known to the outside world. At the present stage in history, the undeveloped sections of our broad Dominion are attracting the attention of the settler and capitalist. No portion can offer better advantages than the Queen Charlotte group of Islands which are rich in minerals, fish, arable land, coal, oil, asphaltum and all that is required to build up large and prosperous communities. Within eighty miles of the terminus of the Great Transcontinental railway, we have a climate similar to that five hundred miles to the South. The soil is fit to produce all that is required for the markets of the cities along the line; in our waters are twenty-seven varieties of fish which will be caught and sent out to the world from cold storage plants; fruits and flowers grow in abundance. Our coal lands are now being exploited, iron and gold deposits are being taken from our black sands; free-milling ore and placer gold mines are being opened up; cattle roam at will all the year round; farm lands await the plow; timber for local use and export we have in abundance; schools and churches and the enforcement of law and order are the pride of our small communities. The rivers and streams, with a number of lakes afford the tourist and sportsman an opportunity to visit the Wands and view the grand valleys and mountains and secure game of every variety. We trust the weekly service of the Grand Trunk Pacific company will soon give place to a daily steamer between Prince Rupert and Masset. We wish you to look upon our residents as friends, ready at all times to greet you, and those who visit the islands, and to render all the aid in our power to advance the interests of all concerned in the development of the natural resources which will mean so much for those already on the Queen Charlotte group of islands, and the thousands who will, we hope in the near future, make their homes with us in this the fairest section of the province of British Columbia.

Surprise Poker Hand When the Cleveland baseball team was on its way up from the Southland to open the season, Napoleon Lajoie and Mrs. Lajoie were whiling away their time playing cards. They went forward into the dining car, leaving the deck of cards and two or three of the recruits sat down and utilized the deck. On the first deal the man sitting with his back toward the engine opened for five matches���used for lack of chips, Everybody stayed in. Then everybody raised everybody until they had to call on the reporter to get another box of safety matches. When this second box had been used up, Bomebody called���not through any lack of confidence in backing his hand as long as they were matches on the train to be used for chips; but purely out of curiosity to ascertain what the showdown would tell. The man who had opened the pot had nothing but four little aces���that was all, just four aces. Across from him sat a man with a full house���three aces and a pair of kings. The third man held four kings and an ace. "Well, where's the rest of the aces?" inquired the man with the full house in a tone of vexation. "Where are they at, I say? So far we've only turned up eight out of a possible four. And what about the kings? Here's only six of 'em! The rest must be in the deck!" It proved to be a pinnochle deck that the Lajoies had been using, made up of parts of two ordinary decks. "Anyway," murmured the man who had opened, "I know how it feels to hold four aces and have everybody come in."���Cle'eeland Plain Dealer.

BURNED ALIVE BENEATH WAVE LOG OF CREW OF LOST SUB- MARINE IS FOUND Last Body Recovered From French Boat Pluvoise ��� Log Shows How Coolly Officers and Crew Awaited Approach of Death. (Special to the Optimist) Calais, June 22.���The last body was taken from the submarine boat Pluvoise yesterday. All the bodies have been taken charge of by the government and will be accorded a public funeral. One of the most pathetic incidents in the history of marine disasters was the finding of the log book. In brief terse sentences, entered every few minutes from the time the vessel was struck and sunk to the moment when all hope was abandoned, is told the doings of the crew, the condition of the air and other points, all set down in official and technical manner. The whole shows a coolness in the face of death that is in itself remarkable. THE BLIND TO SEE Section of Rabbit Cornea Placed in Human Optic New York, June 20.���Through the transplanting of a section of the cornea of the human eye, an operation which was performed at Flower Hospital, surgeons hope that sight will be restored to a Chinese merchant of this city who has been blind for years. The operation, which was witnessed by a large number of surgeons, is believed to be the only one of its kind ever performed in America. Dr. Von Hippel, an eminent German surgeon and the originator of the operation, however was successfully transplanted a rabbit's cornea into a human eye. Dr. Royal S. Copeland, dean of the hospital, performed the operation. When he first examined the eyes of the patient he found the cornea or transparent coat of each eyeball so opaque that the patient could not distinguish night from day. Among the other patients in the hospital was one whose left eye had been injured so badly that it was necessary to remove it. The cornea of this eye, however, was normal and it was decided to operate on both patients at the same time and use the cornea of the discarded eye to remedy the defect in one of the eyes of the Chinese. Both patients were anaestheticized at the same time and placed on operating tables. Dr. Copeland stood between the two tables. First a circular section of the opaque cornea of the eye of the Chinese was removed, Four or five layers of the cornea were cut through. The fifth was left intact so that the aqueous humor of the eye might not escape. The surgeon then turned to the other patient and removed from the normal cornea of the injured eye a section similar in size and shape to that removed from the opaque cornea. ThiB healthy section was placed in the orifice which had been made in the eye of the Chinese and the eye was then bandaged and the other patient's eye was removed. o A Hustler Charitable Person���I thought y&u were blind. Beggar���Well, Cap, times is so hard just now and competition is so keen that even a blind man has to keep his eyes open nowadays if he wants to do anything at all.���Brooklyn Life.
