NAVIGATION IS ABOUT CLOSING INLANDER MAY MAKE ONE MORE TRIP Omineca and Distributor Going over to Shipyard for Winter.���Hazelton Goes to Hardscrabble Tomorrow.��� Camps Well Provided with Supplies In Sorry Plight A pale looking man named James Mayor appeared in this morning'8 police court charged with being a vagrant having no visible means of support. He seemed rather rattled, and told a story of having been robbed of the fruits of his labors on the King's Highway. Chief McCarvell stated that Major had required medical attention from Dr. Reddie since he had been taken in charge and the doctor thought he should be looked after for a day or two. Magistrate Carss said he would look into the matter, and meanwhile Major is detained. The steamer bulletin says the weather about Hazelton and the north this morning was calm, cloudy, cold, with a heavy frost last night. This exactly describes the weather at this end also. The city pavements were this morning covered with hoarfrost and all the tops of the hills within view were covered with snow. This portends the early close of navigation on the Skeena river. The stage of water this morning was two feet three inches below zero, so there can be little more transportation by river this season. The Omineca and the Distributor are now tied up at the Foley, Welch & Stewart wharf and will shortly go over to the shipyard on Digby island to be laid up for the winter. Last year the Distributor left for Hazelton on October 28th, but she got stranded and was laid up along the river all winter, exposed to the breaking up of the ice in the spring. This year the company will take no such risks, and really has no need to do so, as it has the railway to fall back upbn. The Hazelton got in last night and it was rumored that this was her last trip for the season. But she is to leave for Hardscrabble tomorrow morning with a load of groceries and general merchandize. It is hoped that after this she will be able to make one more trip as far as Kitselas. The Port Simpson passed Graveyard Point early this morning on her way to Hazelton, and this will undoubtedly be her last trip even if she manages to make the journey back. With the Inlander it is different, as she can navigate on a lower stage of water than any of the river boats. She passed Aberdeen at eight o'clock thia morning on her way to Hazelton. It is confidently expected that she will be able to make another full trip, Harry Rochester, the agent of the company, declaring this morning: "She will continue to travel as long as there is the least moisture." There is no longer any food famine, however, to be feared at any of the river points. Vernor W. Smith, manager for Foley, Welch & Stewart, said this morning: "Our camps are now well- supplied with stuff for the winter, as we have been enabled to do much better than we expected a month ago. If we tie up every boat now we can keep things going all winter all right. "But then we have the railroad. The last bridge under contract will be completed on the 28th of this month, and that will give us a clear one hundred miles out of this city. So that any addition to our camp supplies that may be needed from time to time can be sent in by the regular train." ORDEMAN THE CHAMPION Frank Gotch Officially Transfer* the Title Won by Him (Special to the Optimist) Minneapolis, Oct. 26.���Frank Gotch last night formally transferred the world's wrestling championship to Orde- man, following the match in which the latter defeated Kid Cutler, breaking the knee in the first fall by a toe hold. Gotch repealed that he had definitely retired from the game. THE PRINCE KUPERT OPTIMIST Professional Cards G. W. ARNOTT Notary Public Auctioneer Valuator Drawer 1539 Prince Rupert W. L.

Date Aug. 12,1910. PATRICK M. MAHER Pub. Sept. 15. B. L, Tingley Agont Short and sad has been the reign of the young king of Portugal, who is now an exile in England. He was brought to the throne from which he has now been cast double catastrophies, ,^__^_^^_ be a grim characteristic of the house of Braganza, 'and the wave of sympathy for the boy-king thus suddenly and cruellyf raised to the throne in 1908, will be repeated from end to end of Europe. The remembrance of that terrible scene of February 1, 1908, when King Manuel lost, under the bullets of assassins, both father and brother, has not yet grown dim. King Carlos, after fifteen years' experience of the unprincipled and unrepresentative use of party government by both parties in the state, acceded in an evil hour to Senor Joso Franco's demand that he, as premier, should be invested with dictatorial powers, for the purpose of restoring able and honest government to unhappy Portugal. After two years of this dictatorship, during which no substantial progress was made in any direction, and the position of the Anarchists had become greatly strengthened in the country, Dom Carlos saw the mistake to which he had been a party. He was on the point of terminating the extraordinary powers that had been granted to Sen- hor Franco, when he fell a victim to a plot, the existence of which seems to have been known to the police for some days beforehand. Acting upon the representations and advice of those responsible for his safety, King Carlos and his queen left the Palace of Villa Vicosa, a favorite royal seat outside Lisbon, for the Neces- sidades palace within the capital, where, as Senhor Franco urged, it was more easy to protect their majesties. With the king and the queen Came the crown prince and Prince Manuel. The royal party landed unostentatiously at the Caes des Columnas, on the Tagus, in the heart of the city. They entered the royal carriages without delay, and moved into the Prada do Commercio. Suddenly a young man dashed from among the crowd, and climbing up upon the back of the royal carriage, discharged a rev91ver two or three times into the bodies of King Carlos and his eldest son. The queen, who was sitting beside him, desparingly attempted to beat down the assassin with a bouquet that she was carrying. But the man had done his work. The king was dead, and the crown prince sitting opposite was mortally wounded, though whether the death of the latter was due to this miscreant or to the simultaneous carbine shots of an accomplice by the side of the road is not certain. The latter certainly was able to inflict two or three wounds, happily not of a serious nature, upon Prince Manuel also. The crown prince lingered only for a few minutes. In this way did unhappy King Manuel ascend the steps of the Portuguese throne. Wounded as he was, the eighteen- year-old sovereign at once issued a proclamation announcing the death of his father and his brother, and his own accession, his intention to rule wholeheartedly for the welfare of Portugal, and his confirmation in office of the existing ministry. He forthwith called together his council and said to them in words of simple dignity: "I am without knowledge or experience. I place myself in your hands, counting upon your wisdom and patriotism." Senhor Franco immediately resigned his position and fled the country, the premiership being accepted by Admiral Ferreira do Amaral. But the troubles of Portugal lay deeper than could be reached by the best efforts on inten* tions of the patriotic young king. Con stitutionalism. in Portugal is a mere farce, The radicals of the country are allewed to have but a small minority in the assembly. There is eo real liberty, either of speech or of the press, and the position iB made doubly hope- by one of those I less by the fact that the close oligarchy which are said to ' in whose hands all real powers reside are able to cast the odium for every act of oppression or injustice, of which they are themselves guilty upon the shoulders of the king. Under such circumstances it is not to be wondered at that anarchism has gained in strength from year to year. King Manuel was a universal favorite with his brother soverigns. He was a special friend of the king of Spain, whom he repeatedly visited. His only visit abroad since his succession was paid to France and England. He was well received in both countries. During this short travel the young king's name was mentioned with more than one of the younger princesses of the royal houses of Europe, and it was rumored that it was not impossible that the immemorial ties that link Portugal with her oldest ally, England, might one day have been strengthened. But the position in Pot- tugal demanded a stronger hand than Manuel's. After the despotic rule of France a political change was obviously necessary, but it is possible that' no alteration could have satisfied the seditious crowd that ever more and more closely thronged round the gates of the Necessidades palace with hardly-veiled menaces. King Manuel attempted a conciliatory policy towards his enemies, but to no purpose. The underground forces were unrelentingly at work, and now revolution has robbed the young monarch of his throne, as anarchism deprived his father of life. LAND PURCHASE N0TlCEiT TAKE UP CUSTOMS NEXT Co-operation Between Government* of Canada and United State* Washington, D. C, Oct. 22.���The administration has decided that the immigration and customs officers stationed dong the Canadian frontier are to co-operate more closely than ever. Orders just issued by the treasury department, direct customs officers at ports on or near the Canadian boundary line where immigration officers are stationed to inform the immigration officers upon the entry of any household effects under section 620 of the new tariff law. The immigration official will be permitted to examine the entry papers covering these effects with a view to locating and accounting for the settlers on the immigration records. This action is expected to result in a greater fund of information concerning the circumstances of the settlers who head this way across the line. The tariff section referred to permits the free entry of books, libraries, usual and reasonable furniture and similar household effects of peisons or families from foreign countries if actually used abroad by them for a year or more and not intended for sale if for any other person or pel sons.

The Optimist DELIVERED TO ANY ADDRESS IN SECTIONS 1, 5 AND 6 EVERY DAY FOR 50c PER MONTH STRENGTH OF PARTIES Outlook for Political Supremacy in United State* Section* The New York Herald, which has long been noted for preparing its election forecast dispassionately, has been gather ing information and studying the political situation throughout the United States, and sums up its conclusions in regard to the probabilities in the impending Congressional elections as follows: Democratic members of the next House, 141; Republican members, 132; doubtful, 118. In the doubtful list, 82 places are now held by Republicans and 36 are held by Democrats. There are 217 Republicans and 174 Democrats in the present House, making a Republican majority of thirty- three. If the Democrats can hold the places they now possess, they need gain but seventeen places to win control oi the next House. Says the New York Herald: "The plain inference from these figures would be that at the outset of the campaign the Republican party is showing a disposition to go to pieces and prepare for the worst whipping it has had in many years. It must be admitted, however, that even as this article is being prepared there are signs here and there throughout the country that the Republicans are recovering from their panic. The buoyancy of the Democracy is not quite so apparent. It is going to be a battle rdyal, anyway." LAND PURCHASE NOTICE Bible Text-book In School* The Church of England Synod has declared in favor of the use in the public schools of a Bible text-book. It ���t .s possible to act upon this proposal without interfering with the non-sectarian character of our schools, we are sure it would be a good thing. There seems to be no objection to teaching the doctrnes of Plato, Confuc'us, Buddha or any one else, except those of the Founder of the Christian religion.���Victoria Colonist.

Wednesday. Oct. 26 FAVORS SINGLE TAX The adoption of the single tax system promulgated by Henry George, by the city of New Westminster is advocated by Mayor Lee and if he is re-elected to the position of chief magistrate of the city for another term this is probably one of the first matters which he will bring up for consideration by the new City council and the citizens generally. The system in its entirety is not favored by the Mayor but only in so far as it provides for the taxation of land only and exempts improvements. This will tend to place a premium on improvements in the city while discouraging the holding of unimproved city property for speculative purposes. Mayor Lee is now looking for two men qualified to undertake the reassessment of the city. A short time ago he brought to the attention of the city council the need of a more equitable assessment and at the last meeting he was authorized to suggest the names of men qualified to undertake the work. His idea is that two experienced men should be secured who would proceed with the work forthwith in' order that it might be completed early next year. To a representative of the British Columbian Mayor Lee pointed out that at the present time the assessment of the city is not at all equitable. In some cases property is assessed up to nearly its full selling value while in other cases only a small percentage of the value is assessed. Assessment Commissioner Frank Broad is doing something on the assessment for next year and it is the idea of the council that the experts engaged should revise the work already done and place everything on a proper basis. The tax rate for this year and, indeed, for some time past, has been 24 mills on the dollar. His Worship is of the opinion that with the readjustment of the assessment of property in the city this rate may be considerably reduced this year. If, however, improvements are exempt from taxation next year the possible reduction in the tax rate is not likely to be so great. Upon the appointment of assessment specialists the city council will decide what proportion of the selling value of the property is to be assessed. Thus is Prince Rupert's lead being followed up by other cities. The St. Johns, N. B., Telegraph also comments on this system pf taxation and urges its adoption in that city. The Telegraph says: "The movement to tax land values is gaining ground. It has been taken up in Vancouver, Edmonton and Prince Rupert, and is under consideration in Winnipeg. The Ottawa Journal urges that city to take up the subject, and endeavor to secure provincial legislation which will give the city the legal power to tax only land values. At the last session of the Ontario legislature a measure giving the municipality the option of taxing land values alone was introduced, but was turned down by Sir James Whitney. The Ottawa Journal declares that it ought to come up again and ought to be adopted."

WAY OP FINDING A BUYER BIG COLONY FOR THE NAAS NINETY THOUSAND ACRES OF LAND PURCHASED Fisrt Payment of Fifty-five Thousand Dollars to Be Made Provincial Government.���Norton Griffiths at the Head of Project. Victoria, Oct. 22.���There has just been deposited with the government of British Columbia $55,000 as a first payment on account of the purchase of ninety thousand acres for the general colonization project initiated by Mr. Norton Griffiths, member of the British House of Commons, and a millionaire railway contractor.

SONGS OF THE HOMELAND Miss Lena Duthie's Entertainment Last Night Is Appreciated Fully The Scotch, Canadian Scotch, and Irish enthusiasts who thronged last night to the Maclntyre Hall to hear Miss Lena Duthie sing the old country songs in national costume, were enthusiastic in their appreciation of their entertainment. The hall resounded again and again to their applause. Miss Lena Duthie is an entertainer of the first class in song and story and to miss hearing her is to miss a treat. The full and varied program she gave last night included such favorites as "Mary o' Argyle, "The Lea Rig," "Caller Herrin," and "The Hundred Pipers," all sung by Miss Duthie with the genuine ring that thrills her audiences wherever Those kindly Irish numbers so sympathetically rendered with all their native humor and pathos, "The Harp of Tara," "The Kerry Dance," and "Rory O'More," with other favorites and many a quaint and delightful Irish story pleased the audience immensely. One song, too, of particular appeal to the Scottish West Highlander, and Hebridean Islesman, was sung with true feeling by Miss Duthrie. The infiinte yearning and pathos of the old air and words of "Turn Ye to Me" brings back to the Islesman's ear memories of the distant surges on the coasts of Skye and the Lewis Islands, the gleam of the starlight on the tumbling waves off the rugged yet kindly western coasts of Scotland. Tonight Miss Duthie gives an entirely new program from her inexhaustible store of the old land's old favorites. GOT CASH CROOKEDLY And Has to Answer for It Before Magistrate A man named Herbert appeared before Magistrate Carss this morning charged with having obtained the sum of $20 by false pretenses. He admitted having done so, but urged in extenuation of his act that he had wanted the cash to tide him over until some money arrived for him from Vancouver, when he would repay the sum obtained irregularly. The Chief of Police asked that accused be remanded until tomorrow morning in order that evidence might be obtained. Accused asked that bail be allowed, whereupon the Chief of Police called the court's attention to the fact that other changes were pending against Herbert and Magistrate Carss remarked that to grant bail was hardly worth while as accused was only remanded for one day.

If the words ol our friend Tommy Burns, our own Canadian champion come true, and his hopes realized, there is going to be an awful sick ebony-hued Boston citizen, travelling under the cogomen of Sam Langford about the streets of London some time in March. Tommy has been matched with the black, and is going to fight him, and according to the expression hiade recently by the white fighter the champion of former days is going to regain his lost laurels, and make the Tar Baby hike back to the Bean City with the recollection of a bunch of Halley's comets seen through the roof of the Olympic hall in London. Tommy, upon his arrival at Vancouver, immediately hunted up his old friend Billy Woods. Tommy was accompanied by his brother-in-law, Mr. Keating, a well-known theatrical man and fight impressario. Burns is in the theatrical business at present, and is treading the Thespian boards, while his leg, injured recently in a lacrosse game in Vancouver becomes strong. Burns has been making good in the show game, and at Portland, at Mr. Keating's house, the Lyric, drew the second largest week ever recorded in the ten years that the house has been running. The only day when the attendance beat the crowd that turned out to watch Tommy was the Majorie Mahr benefit, given for the unfortunate young chorus girl, well-known in Vancouver, who lost both her legs beneath the wheels of a Southern Pacific locomotive. Tommy is doing the monologue stunt, supplemented with pictures of fights, such as the Squires, Johnson and Moir fights. Tommy is pretty handy when it comes to passing out the vernacular, and introduces a few jests hi which he, Tommy, is the fall one. Burns iB full of confidence regarding his fight with the Tar Baby, and stated that he did not feel confident of hanging the sleep producer on the chocolate, that he would not fight. Tommy, as is well known, is not of the Ketchell or Willie Britt type, being on the contrary one of the regular passengers on the buttermilk cart. Nine o'clock and it is the hay for Burns, and six o'clock, when the birds are out looking for the first worm, is the time our champion rises from his humble cot. Burns has just received a wire from Mcintosh, asking the fighter if he will Above cut illustrates the type of Western Standard Gasoline Engine supplied for Tugs and heavy Fishing Boats by the Rupert Marine Ironworks & Supply Company, Limited Quick Delivery of all sizes up to 126 H.P.

Tommy has answered the impressario that he will be in the tight little isle about the first of February, and will take on "Bombardier" Wells and show him how they fight in the west. Some time toward the latter part of February, and after Tommy has instructed a few of the heavies of the old country in the manly art of self defense, the real big affair between Tommy and the terrible Boston ebony will start. According to information received from Hugh, this is going to be the affair de luxe in English sporting circles. And after this affair d'honeur, the winner is going to have the chance at the king-pin of them all, the Galveston citizen, Mr. Johnsing. Jack, after he had put the "Hope" to sleep at Reno last July promised Burns the next chance for the championship in the following words: "Tommy you gave me a chance at the title, and I am going to give you a chance to win it back." Burns is now headed for Calgary, where he will put on his show, and leaving that city will tour the prairie, cities, showing the populace of that section the way titles are won and lost. None can be called deformed but the unkind.���Shakespeare. LAND PURCHASE NOTICE Queen Chsrlotte Islsnds Land Distr ct���District ot Skeens Tske notice thst John W.

Sept. 7. John Dybhavn, Agen THIS PROVINCE IS BACKWARD SAYS REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF INDIAN AFFAIRS Aborigine* Prosperous Everywhere in Canada Except in Naas and Skeena District*, Where Unrest Is Fanned by Outside Agitators. Ottawa, Oct. 22.���The report of the department of Indian affairs for the fiscal year ending March 31 last is out. It is the most satisfactory yet issued by the department, showing a mild winter and the development of settlement in the west have made things much better for the aborigines. The only province which showB any moral decline, says the report, is British Columbia, but this is due to the fact that it is the last of the Can adian west to feel the effects of white "civilization" in the districts in which Indians are chiefly located. The entrance of railways with its accompanying influx of settlers into what the tribes have from time immemorial regarded as their hunting grounds and Ashing stations, has created more especially on the northwest coast and in the Naas and Skeena river districts, a feeling of unrest, which has been fanned into strength by outside agitators actuated by motives somewhat difficult of comprehension. The Indians claim that under the old proclamation and in other ways their rights to the country until surrendered by them are recognized and assured, which reduces the issue to one between them and the provincial government. The whole matter is being gone into by the department of justice and the department is watching the interests of the Indians in the expectation of an early and peaceful solution of the difficulty. The Insians are commencing to appreciate the advantages of attention to the white man's modes of living and of agriculture, and the result is shown in increased prosperity and comfort. T\\i earnings of the Indians in the year unier review increased by over $83,000. The report of **>* department of Indian aff-'-. oiiows that there are now in ...e Indian reserves of the country 110,- 597 Indians, as compared with 111,043 during the previous year, a net increase of 446. There were 2,499 Indian births during the year, while there were but 2,102 deaths, leaving a net increase of 397 in the aboriginal population. While the reports from the various reserves still continue to tell of the ravages of alcohol among the Indians, it is evident that the evil effects are less than they were and the prospects of the red man are correspondingly bright. ROAD TO WINDMERE Scenic Railway From Banff May Shortly Be Built During a recent call upon Premier McBride, Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, president of the Canadian Pacific railway, brought forward a proposal relative to the construction and future operation of a scenic railway from Banff to Windmere, which should prove of great popularity with tourists and scenic beauty lovers generally, the upper Columbia valley, to be traversed, being a veritable wonderland. The suggestion finds favor naturally with the Provincial Premier and it is understood that construction of the line will be initiated in the very near future. Amendments to City Charter Application will be made at the approaching session of* the legislature for the amendments to the Prince Rupert incorporation act enabling that city to borrow money by the issue of inscribed stock, to convert debentures already issued into such stock, and to consolidate debts provided for under individual by-laws so that consecutive debentures or inscribed stock may be issued for such debts as consolidated.

Cotton sheets with newspapers between would retain the heat of your body and thus keep you warm, but they would not permit mit sufficient circulation of air. The ideal bed covering, better than expensive eiderdown quilts, is the old-fashioned, all wool blanket. We have them in all weights, all sizes and all prices, and we have, as well, the eiderdown quilts and the cheaper comforters. In fact our stock of bedding is very complete and this is the seasonable weather that suggests their purchase. We shall be glad to have you look over our'stock and compare. BAD FALL FOR LITTLE BOY Eddie Clapp Goes Over Plankway on Second Avenue HELPING NEW REPUBLIC H. S. Wallace Co. Phone 9 UMITED Fulton St. and 3rd Are. At about half past twelve today while the youngsters were enjoying a game of tag on the plankways in front of the school on second avenue little Eddie Clapp over ran the edge of the plankway just at the concrete manhole on the avenue at Seventh street. The little chap fell a good ten feet into the ditch below, and his neck struck the jagged edge of the concrete, The cut bled freely and his companions were in great alarm. They called for help, and very soon the passers-by had got down to the boy and carried him up to the street level. A doctor was sent for, and Mrs. McCaffrey who had seen the occurrence from her window wanted the little fellow brought up to her house till the doctor came. But to hasten help Mr. McNeil, the building inspector, carried the boy up to Sixth street and in Frank Keeley's drug store he was attended to by Dr. Cade. While Eddie's injury was pretty painful and he cried'a good deal, it ii not thought that the hurt is serious. Little Eddie Clapp had some time ago an accident with a machine which cost him a finger, his companions say. IDEAL Provision House Third Ave. Next Sixth St. PHONE 190 Hubbard Squash 5c lb.

Great Britain Will Help Portuga I to Retain Colonies London, Oct. 16.���Great Britain is determined to play the role of best friend to the republic of Portugal just as she did to the kingdom. It is well understood that the statement of Senhor Jose Reivas, the new Lisbon finance minister, regarding "The supreme interest attaching to the preservation and development of our colonies," reflects a complete understanding with the London government. Whatever money may be needed to carry out this policy it will be an easy matter to obtain in Lombard street. Sir Edward Grey is maintaining the tradition of the British foreign office in supporting Portugal on the East African coast, where lie her most valuable colonies, and the establishment of the South African commonwealth renders it tenfold more desirable for Portugal's dominion in that part of the world to be maintained. British statesmen are almost equally desirous that the status-quo as to the colonies on the West African coast be preserved, because 'n spite of the arrangement under which, in certain eventualities, Germany was to take the west coast possessions of Portugal and England the east, London has never viewed such a contingency with composure. Manuel and the queen mother received a cordial, though not a demonstrative welcome on their arrival in this country this week. Their presence will emphasize the fact that England is taking the place of France as the home* of exiled royalty. AMERICAN BOAT CHANGES Cottage City to Be Succeeded by Excursion Steamer Senator The Cottage City came in yesterday afternoon, with few passengers for the north. She put off fifty tons of perishables here and left at half past six. This is the last trip of the Cottage City this season, as she goes on the drydock for her annual overhauling. She will be replaced by the Senator, which leaves Seattle on November first. The City of Seattle left Seattle today for the north. It is expected she will make only one more round trip to the north this season.
