The Prince Rupert Optimist DAILY EDITION. VOL. I, NO. 14 Prince Rupert, B.C., Tuesday, May 17, 1910. Price, Five Cents SOI HOT POLITICAL TALK Campaign Meeting Last Night waa the Biggest and Warmest Yet-Empresi Theatre Packed to Capacity. Frank Mobley's public meeting in the Empress theatre last night was the biggest, so far, in this campaign. The place was jammed to such an extent that there was not even standing room in the entrances or on the stairs.. The meeting was also marked by the appearance for the first time at a public meeting of Mr. G, R. Naden, one of the aldermanic candidates on Stork's ticket. He endeavoured to show that a clique, or some interests in the city, were endeavouring to defeat him. To do this he staled that his bookkeeper had been offered $100 to discover and report something detrimental to his��� Naden's���character. He read an affidavit made by his bookkeeper for the purpose of proving his statements. The affidavit implicated an employee of the Optimist and it gave out the impression that the Optimist, or those supported by this paper, had inspired the move. So far as the rest of the meeting was concerned, it passed off very quietly, and the speeches were largely a re-hash ol those made at previous meetings. The best of feeling prevailed in the audience, although some of the Stork candidates got overheated and made statements they would not make in their calmer moments. Thomas Dunn the chairman opened the meeting and asked the audience to give every speaker a fair hearing. Mr. F. H. Mohley was the first speaker. His principal object of appearing before the meeting was to explain the action he intended to pursue if elected to the council. First, he said the platform was prepared by a lot of business men, and they did not make any promises it would be impossible to carry out. Their platform was a business one. As to the liquor question, he said he was not a temperance man. He lavourod a high license and a complete control of the licenses. As to taxation, , favour<'d a minimum tax, whether it ?e a *"*' or a double tax. We must nave money. We start off with with an indebtedness of $85,000 and we must nave sowers and waterworks. We must n"ve an efficient fire department that ���"���De capable of fighting any fire that ';;>��� occur. The city must also retain Ml control of all public utilities. We might grant franchises, but we must control them. He also favoured permanent work in everything undertaken.tem- porary work is money wasted. In reference to the ticket on which he was running, he said they did not claim to have all the best men in the district. They had eight good and honest men. He would help the labouring men in every way he could. He had been a labouring man for many years and he would help them. Mr. Mobley then appealed for the support of the electors. George \V. Morrow was warmly received. He regretted that, his musical education had been neglected or he CONTINUED ON PAGE 8 THIS PAPER IS CLEAN. Naden Exonerates The Optimist His Political Affidavit Denied by Todd's Sworn Declaration. At last night's political meeting, G. R. Naden, one of the candidates on the Stork ticket, produced an affidavit, a copy of which is given btlow. The inference which is conveyed to some persons is that the Optimist was in some way responsible. This morning Mr. Naden said: "I do not wish to implicate the Optimist in the charge, nor do I believe the Optimist is in any way responsible for it. The Optimist was mentioned merely to identify the location of the man." The Optimist desires to state further that its employees are all union men. The printers are hired by the foreman, who is much too busy a man to take either an active or passive interest in municipal politics.. Although employees they are quite independent of the office influence or interests. Furthermore, the Optimist herewith states that no director or shareholder of the company, had any knowledge, directly or indirectly of any such transaction, or any desire to secure any knowledge about Mr. Naden, or his affairs. The Optimist believes that the public will give the men connected with this paper, credit for having better sense than to send an emmisary to a boy who is only a late importation to this country to get information about a man who has LETTERS TO THE EDITOR SOME WARM REBUTTAL Editor Optimist : Sir,- The great Stork Rally on Saturday night was a most amusing affair. It must have been that these people have a poor cause, as they seem to be afraid to invite Mr. Manson and his supporters to be present at their meetings. It is a poor cause that won't stand criticism. Whatever may be said of the Stork outfit, they have two great qualifi- ! cations. They can make more noise and j they are the champion mudslingers of I Western Canada. Not satisfied with ; their usual mudslinging tactics, nor with the maniacal ravings of the Empire, I they have secured the services of two 1 men who are not on their ticket but who | are proving able lieutenants in their I campaign of abuse, slander and vi- j tuperation. One is Mr. Pattullo, the great patriot of the Yukon. This gentleman was assistant gold commissioner of the Yukon in the palmiest days of Grit corruption, blackmail and looting of mining claims in that country, but in this city he has developed into a spasmodic champion of the people. Mr. Pattullo was one of the committee that went to Victoria over the charter question, and the transitory glory of being thus temporarily in the lime light coupled with an uncontrollable ambition to be mayor himself, has quite turned his head. A few weeks ago he was saying that he did not favour Stork and his ticket. We now find him to be one of their most ardent champions. It is difficult to find out how the Stork bunch are going to make room for Mr. Pattullo, unless the rumour is true that they are going to drop Mr. Hilditch or "get rid of the walloper" to use the words of Mr. Pattullo himself about another individual. Their other lieutenant is also rendering good service. Thomas Dunn has always been a great moral force in this country. A man of lily-white and unimpeachable character and actuated by the loftiest and the most unflinching political ideals. His presence will very likely carry great weight with the electorate of this city. Such a patriot and such a moralist as these two gents are known to be, should point out to us very clearly the kind of Government that Stork and company would give us. The best indication of the future administration is to be found in the character of campaign that is being carried on. If you want strife, rancor , and a general carrying out of the wide open town idea, why Stork and his crowd seem to be about what is wanted. I do not mean to intimate that Mr. Pattullo had any hand personally in the Yukon corruption. I do not believe he did, but if he would still support a government that was responsible for that administration, why is he so horrified at Mr. Manson's loyalty to the McBride Government. OBSERVER.

London, May 17, -The removal of the body of King Edward from Bucking- I ham Palace, where it has lain in state, i to Westminster Hall, where it may be viewed by the gentry of England to-day resembled a glittering dress rehearsal for the great funeral pageant that will be held on Friday. Numbers fail to give an idea of the vast throngs that lined the streets for the funeral procession, of the great swarms of humanity that clustered in the windows of houses along the route and the thousands that filled precarious perches, on house tops, street posts and every ledge and arch that gave a footing. Eleven thousand picked troops, the flower of the English army, formed an impressive border for the funeral cortege as it passed along.. The course was only a mile in length, but apparently the greater part of London's population had gathered to view the spectacle. The catafalque covered with black and purple draperies, surmounted by the crown and sceptre of England, and surrounded by draped English flags, was started from the Palace at 11.30 o'clock and arrived at Westminster hall at noon.. As the gun carriage bearing the coffin moved slowly along, a yeomanry company of soldiers presented arms, while the colours slowly dipped in | silent salute. No sound was heard from ; the crowded streets, except the rumble ' of the heavy gun carriage wheels, the clatter of horse's hoofs and the light i noise of carriages bearing the Royal Family of England and the heads of the British government.. Alexandra of Denmark, the Queen Mother, widow of King Edward, rode | in the first carriage, accompanied by her mother and the Dowager Empress of Russia. King George V and members of the Royal Household followed. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, Commissioner of the United States, was not in the procession to-day. Neither were ; any of the nine visiting Kings of Europe. Roosevelt and the visiting monarchs will appear in the final funeral procession on Friday. When the coffin arrived at Westminster, the Archbishop of Canterbury, assisted by Canon Wilberforce, held | a short service. In the course of the service the combined Westminster Royal Chapel choir impressively sang several anthems. At one o'clock the services had ended. The body lay in state from one to four when it was viewed by those invited by members of parliament. After 4 o'clock the public was admitted and thousands took advantage to file by the coffin. An ordinary Stork can stand on one leg, but "Alfy" can stand on the shreds of a torn ticket. "He is one of us" warbled the gang last night, led by a piano player from the demi-monde. The mysterious late of the little blue bills will befall some of the spot light men in a few days. "Doc" says it was a narrow escape, but it was the only close call that will be coming to him. Stork is bumping the Chink laundry and using election signs that look like an oriental wash check. Gill says he does not need to go to the public meetings. He can see the hot air coming out through the ventilators. It is only natural that the "nursing bottle brigade" should want a plumber in charge to keep the feed pipe in good running order. For the leader of a "White Prince ; Rupert" ticket, Stork seems to be I uncommonly familiar with the few "cull'ed gents" in town. If Stork did control the licenses as I he would like to, would they be peddled around like the positions on the aldermanic "ticket" or would they be given to his political friends? According to evidence produced in the Theatre last evening, Stork has a sliding scale of wages���from 25c. to 40e. per hour. Most people have to pay 50c. for unskilled labor. Stork with his newspaper and his I boosters have been spending a lot of time and energy berating local men whom everyone know, and whose conduct everyone can judge for themselves. If this same time and energy were given to reporting the recent holiday trip Candidate Stork made south, it might explain the presence here of the several professional politicians and strangers who are in the Stork camp.

PASSENGER LIST Vancouver, May 16,���"Our coastwise service will be inaugurated about June 12. The Prince Rupert, now en route from England will be joined here a few weeks later by the Prince George, thus providing a semi-weekly service between Prince Rupert, Vancouver, Victoria and Seattle," said Mr. E. J. Chamberlin, general manager of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. "The C. P. R., has agreed to take care of our boats temporarily in Vancouver, if we do not make other arrangements. Good progress is being made with the building of our dock at Seattle When I left there the warehouse was about to be framed. In Victoria a small pier will be available to give us temporary accomodation. "False creek seems the logical place for all passenger train traffic to be centralized, but of course this is not an absolute necessity."

Real Estate and Financial Brokers Second Ave., Prince Rupert Fifth Street, Stewart Samuel Harrison Notary Public Vernon S. Gamble CANADIAN NORTHERN The route of the Canadian Northern Railway from Yellowhead Pass to the Pacific Coast has now been entirely located by the company's surveyors. The last link in this important work was completed recently by Mr. Garnet Hughes, a Canadian Northern surveyor, who has been working west from Edmonton to Yellowhead, joining his survey with that of Mr. C. F. Hannington's party, which has been working between Tete Jaune Cache and Yellowhead, the latter distance being placed at fifty miles. According to the survey of Mr. Hughes, the distance between Edmonton and the Yellowhead is 200 miles. Mr. Hughes and his party are now travelling back to Edmonton, while Hannington s party has returned to the Coast. It will be remembered I this party went in by way of Kamloops, and extreme hardships were encount- ered on the way. During the trip the entire number were threatened several times with death by starvation. Every one of the 44 pack animals taken out died before Tete Jaune Cache was j reached and the party footed it back. Supplies had been cached en route on the way out, but the expectant surveyors found that store after store has been broken open by thieving Indians who had taken [nearly all the supplies, At one time the party accomplished a peculiarly difficult journey of !)() miles with only bannocks, and this limited in amount. c.F. Hannington, continuing) said Ihe route surveyed from Kamloops to the Yellowhead Pass shows a grade' of six-tenths, of one per cent, against westbound, trafl'is and five-tenths of one 'per cent, against westbound. This j is the best grade reported for any trans- continental railway. From Kamloops I the route goes 180 miles along the North Thompson to Albreda river. Along this stream it goes to the lake forming its source. Then the line crosses the low summit down the valley of Summit creek, crossing Canoe river and following the valley of McLennan creek to Tete Jaune Cache. From this point the line runs along the banks of the upper Fraser and the country is described as a natural gateway to the prairies of the width of 600 feet. There will be no need of tunnels en route. Hannington says the survey for the first 30 miles from Kamloops haB not yet been finally adopted, as a new survey along the other side of the Thompson is being run. Up the River. F. Wuite Wm. A.

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 '"uty 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.

"A vote for Stork means a vote to control our licenses." Such is a sentence on some campaign posters issued by the ticket. It is a plain bid for the liquor and hotel men's vote, and a lot of people may be led lo vote for Stork under the impression that he would control the licenses if he happens to be elected mayor. The impression is wrong and promises made on the strength of it cannot be carried out. As a matter of fact, the control of the licenses rests with the provincial government, and William Manson, as member for the district, is the man whose opinion rules the situation.. Clause 182 of the Municipal Clauses Act shows how the license board is appointed. The Mayor is chairman and the government appoints the other two, one being taken from the council. Naturally, under our system of representation, the nomination of these commissioners comes to Mr. Manson, who has promised a plebiscite on the question, and who is the only man who can deliver his promises. Stork cannot control the licenses, even if elected. | Candidate Stork, through his organ, has been trying to create a lot of cheap sympathy by intimating that he could not procure a copy of the voters list and that he was at a disadvantage in his canvass. Mr. Stork knows, or ought to know, that the Act provides for the entering of all names in a book, which book is open to the public. The printed voters list, which the returning officer ordered, was issued yesterday, and no copies were put out before yesterday morning. Every candidate got them, or could have them, at the same time. If Mr. Stork wanted information before that time he could have taken it from the book, just as others did, instead of making a play to the gallery.

It is a personal affair between Mr. Naden and Mr. Todd. Connon'e Affidavit. . Alexander A Connon, of the city of Prince Rupert, in the province of British Columbia, bookkeeper do solemnly declare, 'l. That I am a bookkeeper and secretary to George R. Naden, 2, That on or about the 4th day of May, A. D., 1910, while eating lunch in the Calumet restaurant at mid-day, 1 was spoken to by one, a Mr. Todd, a printer who at that time was working in the office of the Optimist newspaper, in Prince Rupert, to the following efiect, namely,- He said, "There is opposition from a certain quarter'here to Mr. Naden in this municipal election, and they would give considerable to see him defeated, and if you can get me any information of a detrimental kind to Mr. Naden, it would be worth one hundred dollars to you. 3. The above were not the exact words but to the best of my memory they convey the exact meaning which his words left on my mind. Todd's Affidavit The above affidavit is false in every particular. 1. I have only eaten in the Calumet three times, once with President Poole and Messrs. Beard and Griffin, of Prince Rupert Typographical Union. 2. I was approached by one Connors in the Clairmont house, where I first | met him, about my support to Naden. I 1 told him 1 was not taking any part, j i except on the union label question, I I and told him il Mr. Naden would support the labour planks, I would do a.U I could to help him. ���'i. In discussing the merits of the Typographical Union, Connors said that he had an uncle in Aberdeen, Scotland, who was a union man, and he asked me if I could get him work. I told him if his uncle came out here he could get work; in fact, I promised him to give him my position on the Optimist He wrote his uncle to that effect last week and allowed me to look over the letter before he posted it.. I have never discussed politics in any way whatever wth Mr. Connor unless it has been in the presence of witnesses.. 1 am prepared to prove that the above is a true statement of fact.

The steamer Operator was in last night and loaded. She left again for Kitselas with supplies and machinery for Foley Welch & Stewart. The boat arrived at 9 p. m., and left at 6.45 a. m. The steamer Capilano arrived from Vancouver early this morning and unloaded some dressed lumber. She cleared for Stewart at 11 o'clock with about 40 passengers from here. On her return the Capilano will unload the rest of her Prince Rupert freight. o Back From Stewart. V. F. G. Gamble, of S. Harrison & Co., returned from Stewart Sunday where he has been for the past couple of weeks, establishing a branch office. The office is now completed and is opened, doing business. Mr. Gamble is enthusiastic over the prospects at Stewart and states that everything is booming. There are now some 1,500 people in the town and surrounding hills and more are going in on every boat. All these people have to get their supplies from Prince Rupert and as a result the trade between these two towns is growing rapidly. A chamber of mines has recently been organized with Robert Stewart as president and some of the prominent men assosiated with him are Engineer Elem- dorff and Engineer Vaughan-Rhys. All the big companies have been communicated with and requested to become members. PERSONAL R. J. Burns and wife will leave soon for Fort George. where they will spend some weeks. F.P.

He is the chief merchant of that thriving city and a good booster. C. M. Wilson, real estate agent, left to-day for Victoria on a business trip. He has been at Stewart and finds business there booming. Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Bailey, of Victoria, are paying their annual visit to Prince Rupert. Mr. Bailey was optimistic a year ago when here, but is nevertheless astonished at the progress made. He is an admirer of the Optimist also, and is one of our many boosters.

P. Rutter, late of Victoria, and at present of Fort George, so the Indians say, is a strong man and worthy to be a great chief. The natives now pass him with an air of reverence akin to the sacred whenever they cross his trail. And all because of an encounter with a big black bear. Rutter is a transitman with Gore & McGregor's survey party on the Salmon River, where the bears grow as big as horses. The action of the frontier drama was very early morning, and the weapon a surveyor's handaxe. Rutter was in advance of a party of six men when he stumbled into a bear pit. He retreated as quickly as a man could in such a predicament, and turned to the left of a tree. The bear, frightened out of his home, popped out from his hibernating quarters, made a detour of the same tree and came up face to face with his disturber. The meeting was pathetic, says Rutter, and savored of the rediculous, as the bear stood up, occasionally rubbing his eyes as though not fully awakened, and less than six feet away. Retreat for Rutter was out of the question with his snowshoes embedded and bush t partly surrounding him. The bear came on. Rutter cletched his axe and the battle was on. Fencing with paw and axe continued for at least ten minutes, when man and bear went down in one huge ball. When the others of the party came up they found Rutter in the embrace of the bear, gasping for breath, but the bear was dead. A post mortem examination revealed that a blow on the temple from Rutter's axe had ended the contest. COMFORT AND WEAR vYOU GET THEM ALL IN. THE SLATER SHOE LOOK FOR THE SIGN OF THE SLATE J.

It is the worst in ten years. Hundreds of trees have to be destroyed. Vancouver, May 17,-Two Italian labourers, B. Constantina and SIbsI Perrera, employed on the city sewer works, got into an altercation yesterday afternoon. They climbed out of the trench. Constantina stabbed Perrera and Perrera then stillettoed Constantina in the back of the neck with a downward blow. The long blade penetrated his vitals and he died a few moments later. The other Italians took up a subscription on the spot with what money they had in their pockets, and gave it to Perrera and told him to run He ran to the shack of a friend at Grand- view, a mile and a half away, which, considering that he was stabbed through both lungs was remarkable. There the police found him in a dying condition. Surgeon says he has no hope for recovery. ^ The tug Escort No. 2 which is to do duty as a ferry at Zenardi Rapids, has had a new $10,000 boiler placed in her and the barge Georgia, which will be associated with the tug has been fitted up for the job. These craft will transfer the tails and other railway supplies across the rapids. When that work is completed both boats will return to the coast service again and transport railway supplies from the south to Prince Rupert. **>*4^*+**>******4^*y*4**4**4**4^*^*^***1*V*VW*V*V*V*1*1+l \ \/jE ARE NOT IN THE HABIT OF BLOWING HOT AIR. r W We are too busy.

However, he would try to say a few things about himself that a newspaper, Mr. Dunn and others had neglected to say���cheers. He had been asked to go on the ticket, but it was impossible to do so at that time. But later, his good friend Mr. Lynch, had come after him and said that they required brains and ability���cheers���so I he decided that he had better come out. Then Mr. Morrow thanked Mr. Dunn for all the advertising he had given him. Mr, Dunn called him a somersaulter Still, Mr. Dunn, so he saw in a dream, had planned that he was the very man for mayor of this city. But all of a sudden Mr. Dunn discovered that he was too busy. Mr. Morrow also thanked T. D. Pattullo for his kind remarks. But Mr. Pattullo was also, at one time, I a prospective candidate. He also somer- j saulted. Then Mr. Morrow asked what Mr. Stork had done in Fernie for the public ownership of public utilities. The tele-1' phone, electric light and water wo were owned by a company. Mr. Stork admitted the truth of that fact. Mr. Stork had not put up much of a light, if any, for public ownership, although he was mayor. The speaker also referred to a number of planks in Mr. Manson's platform. W. P. Lynch was called next and he made a short and impressive speech. He admitted that he asked G. W. Morrow to run for alderman because he bad ability and he wanted to have that I ability in the council. But he would say why he did not want him elected. Mr, Stork was in the field for mayor, and ' he had associated with him eight men j who possessed brains and ability and' he would like to see all of those elected. 1 William Manson, the people's candi- j date for mayor was the next speaker and he was given a rousing reception. He i said it was hard to always have something new at every meeting, but he had a bill in his hand gotten out by the Stork faction which furnished him with a text for his address. He read the bill clause by clause and explained it. In the first place it was a sample of yellow journalism and he pointed out how utter- j ly foolish it was. He also took up the Tsimpsean Power company matter and clearly pointed out that the provincial government was in sympathy wuth j was in sympathyin Prince Rupert and had protected us. G. R. Naden was the next speaker. He was glad to see the ladies present. He had fought to the last to give the ladies a vote.. The ladies' vote is always good and he would be very much disappointed if every one of the ladies d d not vote for him. In theory he was a single tax man but theory does not always work out well in practise. The only system was a minimum taxation on improvements. That was the only sure way of keeping up the price of buildings, and it will also keep the city from having too many buildings.. Mr. Naden stated that a young man working in his office had been approach ed by a certain party to f nd out something to the detriment of himself, Naden, and if that information was forthcoming the young man would be richer to the extent of $100. Interests in the city wanted to defeat him. He had an affidavit made, and he read it to the meeting. The affidavit will be found n another column of this issue. J. H. Hildritch the labour candidate followed Mr. Naden and in opening he stated that while he was on the Stork ticket, he did not agree with Mr. Naden's 8 hour policy. He said if Mr. Naden was an eight hour man he should have proven himself such by voting for Mr. Morrow's and Mr. Manson's motion at the hospital board. This late hour was no time to declare for an '8 hour day, in order to catch the labour vote. Further, Mr. Hilditch stated that he was the one who had asked Mr. Morrow to introduce the 8 hour motion and have it applied on the hospital superstructure, stating that it would be doing the carpenters a good turn. Mr. Morrow was perfectly willing and glad to do so. Mr. Morrow said that the hospital was a public institution and the city should use the labouring man fairly. Just as William Manson was concluding his address at the Stork meeting last night, one or two roughs in the rear of the hall started creating a disturbance and a tussel ensued which caused a little sensation in the house. Mr. Manson, and chairman Dunn, succeeded in quieting the audience and the the attempt to break up the meeting was a failure. When G. R. Naden had finished his address, and the reading of his bookkeeper's affidavit, G. W. Morrow asked ! permission to say a word or two. He stated that he was financially interested in the Optimist and he and Mr. j Naden had always been the closest friends, and were yet. So far as he was concerned he knew not a word about any such move or scheme as was outlined in the affidavit. Furthermore, Mr. Naden would be one of the last men in the city against whon he would intrigue.. This was positively the first intimation that he had had. TWELVE FIRE HYDRANTS. Fire Committee Are Installing Fire Protection Apparatus. Piping, lighting and pumping plant! and a boiler were shipped north Saturday night to Stewart by the Stewart- Portland Canal Light, Water & Power Co. They will serve temporarily for serving the wants of the little town pending the installation of a hydro-electric plant next year on the Marmot river, j where a large water right has been se- cured. Then the company will sell power to the various mines. At Stewart, 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, went north with the plant and will direct the installation work. The reservoir will have a capacity of 30,000 gallons. The directors are R. M. Stewart, John Stewart, Harry Howson, Wm. Noble, George K. Williams, and S. Garnham. The Fire Committee, after much delay, have their gang at work installing a dozen two inch stand pipes to give fire protection in the business portion of the city. The delay was caused in securing the pipe and hydrants from the manufacturers, but it arrived a few days ago and the stand-pipes are now in place. The committee consists of John Currie, Chief McKellar, G. W. Morrow and George R. Naden. The locations of the stand pipes are:��� Corner Fulton and Sixth streets. , Corner Fulton and Eighth streets.
