EARL GREY OUT FOR SYNDICATE HUDSON BAY LINE DEPENDS UPON HIS REPORT Price, Five Cents A RECORD MADE IN REAL ESTATE DEALS English Syndicate Ready to Put Millions Into Railway and Suitable Ocean Liners If He Proves Route To Be Feasible. Ottawa.Aug. 26.���It has become known here that Earl Gr7y's trip to Hudson Bay has a big scheme behind it, in connection with the construction of the Hudson Bay Railway. In other words, the Governor-General is the envoy of a great British syndicate which is ready to put millions not only into the building of the railway to Hudson Bay, but also to undertake the building of specially designed ships for the north* em waters, and at the same time provide the harbor terminals necessary. Earl Grey is fully convinced of the necessity of opening up the route to Britain via the Hudson Straits, and during his recent visit to England, which may have been taken for the purpose, talked the matter over with a number of leading financiers in London, who, it is understood, have agreed to provide the capital required if his Excellency is able to prove that the trip is feasible without any special preparation in advance. It is felt that with the advertisement which the route will get if the viceregal trip is a success there will be no difficulty in floating a company in London, It is the so t of practical imperialism which appeals to the English imagination, and it would not be surprising if Lord Grey were to desire to go down to hfstory as the successor of dashing Prince Rupert, the first gen* tleman adventurer to exploit the Hudson Bay route. To-day Mr. 0. M. Helgerson of the 0. M. Helgerson Co., completed transactions which make Mr. Cliff Ford of London, England, the owner of $100,000 worth of Prince Rupert's business property. The main purchases were made on Saturday and make up what is probably the biggest day's business that has taken place in Prince Rupert real estate since the big sale in Vancouver fifteen months ago. Among the property sold was the handsome new Helgerson block which was owned by O. M. Helgerson personally The consideration for this property was $134,000 cash. The building is Prince Rupert's best block and is bringing in a monthly rental of $815, which, after paying insurance, taxes and the collection of rents, will net the new owner the sum of nearly $8,000 annually, or better than 14 p.c. on the investment. Mr. Helgerson bought the vacant lots Helgerson Block Among the Property Purchased. Capitalist From London Buys Helgerson Block For Fifty-Four Thousand Cash and Other Property to Total of Hundred Thousand. last September for $17,500. The building cost nearly $16,000 making the total cost of the property to him of a little over $34,000. From this it will be seen that he receives the substantial profit of practically $20,000 on this transaction. O. M. Helgerson came to Prince Rupert fifteen months ago with $1,200 cash, and a month later obtained the promise of a $2,500 loan for ninety days. After paying all obligations incurred in the erection of the Helgerson block from the proceeds of the sale he will be able to show a balance to his credit of nearly $40,000 as a clear profit on one and a quarter year's work in this city. The corner of Third avenue and Eighth street was also among the property sold to Mr. Ford and the price paid was $20,000. Some other property which will be announced later, makes up the total of $100,000. The purchaser, Mr. Ford, is a large and successful public works contractor in London, England, and although he has large financial interests in Canada and in South America this is his first visit to this continent. He is more than pleased with Prince Rupert and her future prospects as the investments of his money would prove. He expects to pay frequent visits to the city in the future and looks for the rapid development of this north west country, and of Prince Rupert in particular.

CITY ISSUED ORDER For Morrison to Move off Second Avenue and Not the G. T. P. In Saturday's issue appeared an item in reference to W. R. Morrison moving his house off Second avenue to Seventh avenue. It was stated by Mr. Morrison to the Optimist reporter that he had a building permit from the G. T. P. and yet he was put to the inconvenience of moving off his property. It is true that Mr. Morrison got a permit from the G. T. P. but that was three years ago and before the survsy was made. After the survey it was found that Mr. Morrison's house was on .Second avenue the property of the city, and it was the city which issued the order for him to move as his house was an obstacle to opening up .Second avenue. The G. T. P. had nothing whatever to do with the order and the G. T. P. received no rent from Mr. Morrison during the three years he occupied Second avenue There are several other house owners in the same positions as Mr. Morrison and all have to move. They have no complaint therefore against the G. T. P. as that company has nothing to do with the matter.

Hays In connection with the matter of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway company and their city property assessment, and with special reference to the council's interview with Mr. Hays, Aid. Pattullo at last night's city council meeting desired to make clear a certain point which he thought could not be too clearly stated. "The point which I specially wish to bring out" he said "is that at our interview with Mr. Hays we urged upon Mr. Hays that if he would submit his proposition we would submit it to the people. Mr. Hays said that he had no proposition to make, and that the city should rather make a proposition to him as it was not the'custom of his company to make any such propositions." The mayor agreed with A'd. Pattullo that this was the substance of the matter in question, and that the point should be clearly stated.

LOOKS TO WAR FOR FREEDOM COREAN INSURGENT TELLS OF CONDITIONS IN ISLAND Formerly in Diplomatic Service and Now an "Insurgent"���Says Strict Censorship of Press and Mails by Japan Has Caused Unrest. New York, Aug., 27���The belief in Corea is that the United States will be drawn into war with Japan within the next five years, according to Dr. S. H. Kimm, formerly an attache of the Corean delegation at Washington, and now the representative in this country of the Corean "insurgents" who are waging a guerrilla warfare in Corea against annexation. "The patriotic uprising in Corea," says Dr. Kimm, in a statement issued from his office here," is kept alive largely by the conviction that in the near future Japan will find herself with a more powerful enemy on her hands, when Corea can regain her 4243-year-old independence and throw off the yoke of annexation. Probably it is not known generally that Corea is making a bitter struggle against the Japanese plans of annexation. The true state of affairs is kept concealed largely by the strict Japanese censorship over the telegraph and mails. It is impossible to get a letter from Corea that has not been opened and duly censored. Wo are compelled to rely for our advices on letters carried by members of the revolutionary party or messages transmitted by runners by word of mouth to the watchers outside the frontier. "As a matter of fact, the twenty million of Corean people are resting uneasily under the yoke and it will take but a spark to set them off into a war of liberation. We believe that the spark will be struck when the United States and Japanese are at war and that war will come within the next few years." NEW BANK MANAGER Stanley Long to Take Charge of the British North America Plank Driveway Wanted A petition signed by 29 persons headed by the representatives of the Sash and Door factory was prcesented to the city council last night. The petitioners requested that a plank I driveway should be constructed on 8th' avenue, Section 6 between McBride street and Hays Circle. The petition was referred to the Streets, Works and Property committee. ���WiTTMlitt^m It will be with pleasure the old timers from the Klondike now resident here will read that F. Stanley Long is coming from the Dawson branch of the Bank of British North America to take charge of the one here. To some of them this was known already. Mr. Stonham, inspeczor of the bank, came here to open the branch and this being done he has filled the place of manager until Mr. Long could arrange to be here. Mr. Long has long held the position, of assistant manager of the Bank of B. N. A. in Dawson, and that is a concern the daily business of which at one time would compare with that of the leading banks of Vancouver. As a banker Mr. Long has been andis very popular there. He is also popular in a social sense and will be so esteemed in Prince Rupert. He is an all around athelte and is calculated to put life into those circles, and he is the possessor of a voice that will be a welcome addition to the Anglican choir. Mr. Long will arrive from Dawson in about ten days from now.

ROOSEVELT ON HIS TOUR MAKING A FIGHT FOR PURE GOVERNMENT Will Break Rank of Old Guard and Hustle Crook* Out of Hit Own Party First���Politics, He Says Must Be Unpolluted. Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 25.���"I feel it is just a little more my duty to hunt crooks out of public life because they happen to be in our party," said Col. Roosevelt to-day, addressing the Ellicott club here. ' The colonel was guest of honor at a breakfast given by the club. Fully 500 persons were present and cheered when he declared he would keep up his fight for clean politics. Roosevelt arrived in an automobile, and was driven directly to the club, He began by discussing the need of preventing pollution of the great lakes, gradually shifting to politics. He assured the members that he would fight in the coming New York state Republican convention. After the breakfast Roosevelt left for the west. "Just as we must keep unpolluted the waters of the great lakes," said Roosevelt as he neared the end of his address before the club, "we must likewise act in the field of moral, public and domestic life. We must see that things are unpolluted at their source. I believe in pure government, and in this belief I do not recognize party distinctions." Roosevelt is depending on his personal popularity for support in the Saratoga convention. Before he left Herkimer he began to irganize his forces. He telephoned Loeb and Gris- com, who are conducting his skirmish for delegates. The colonel was encouraged by the reception he received at Utica. the home of Vice-President Sherman. HAD TO TAKE OFF HER HAT BLOW ADMINISTERED TO SUF- FRAGETTE MOVEMENT Woman Lawyer Ordered to Remove Her Hat When Addressing Court��� Over Hundred Women Lawyers Practicing in New York. New York, Aug. 27.���Rather a rude shock was administered to the suffragettes last week in the Supreme Court by Justice Goff. In the latter's rebuke of Mrs. Sophie Meyer, a woman lawyer who appeared before him wearing her hat, there was an admonition that women who seek to attain man's level must be judged by men's standards and comport to the rules and regulations to which they subscribe. When his honor ascended the bench on the opening of court, Mrs. Meyer, a trim little woman, overshadowed by a ponderous Chantecler hat arose and proceeded to address him. "Pray, who are you, madam, that addresses the court," enquired the somber-looking justice curiously. "I am an'attorney," replied the woman in surprise. "Then you must abide by the rule governing other lawyers practicing here and remove your hat," suggested the jurist stiffly. A crimson blush suffused the face of the woman as she proceeded to obey. There are more than one hundred women lawyers practicing in the courts of this city and this is the first instance of its kind in which it is recorded that any one of their number had to divest herelf of her hat while arguing a case. "It will be one of the saddest days this nation has ever seen," said a well-known corporation lawyer who was present in court during the incident before Justice Goff, "when women acquire what they conceive to be their rights before the law.

Wednesday, Aug. 31 THE RAILWAY ASSESSMENT The "stand pat" attitude of the city council is not likely to result in much benefit to the city of Prince Rupert. It has certainly antagonized the Railway Company at a period of the city's existence when co-operation of the people and the company is most needed. It is equally certain that the Company will never pay one and one half per cent on the present assessment. In case of a law suit, which seems probable, the city may gain temporary victory but it will be an expensive one for those now doing business in the city. Those who nurse the belief that the Railway Company cannot hold back the development of the city are deceiving themselves. The Company can very easily stop development .for the next two years without materially embarrassing their transcontinental trade but it would be disasterous to local business. Railway companies have done such things before. There are several things which the city have to solicit of the Grand Trunk. Where are we to get a public building site? What about the reservoir? Who owns the park lands? Will the city council get these by "standing pat" or by negotiations. The taxation of railway property within city limits has been a problem which has worried the best legislators in the country and none of them have as yet placed it on a par with business or residential property. Right-of-way and yardage has no speculative value, nor can it be classed with improved property. For some years it will have no earning power and it is valuable in the mind of the public only because it is on the waterfront. The warehouse lots and the wharfs only are revenue bearing and that portion of the property offers an opportunity for a unique system of taxation which could settle present difficulties and make munificent provision for the future. A sliding scale of taxes on the gross revenue of the wharfs, increasing the rate with the increase in revenue is a suggestion with great possibilities. It is the only equitable plan of taxing the earning power of the property and it would increase the taxes only as the company's income grows larger. It would have a tendency to keep down the wharfage rates and thus do away with the fear that the G. T. P. having a monopoly of the waterfront would hold up the rates. Such a system would need careful planning. If it could be agreed upon it would at the present time be a very nominal tax but as the port developed it would give to the city in future years a tax income that would be the envy of every sea-port city on the coast. When the late assessor fixed the Grand Trunk assessment he based it on a uniform rate for the whole townsite without any consideration for railway acreage but without any idea that the company would be charged one and one half per cent on their railway property assessment. He gave to the council a valuable brief with which to treat with the company. He understood his work and did a good job for the city but because of what was probably a little political ill-feeling towards him the council refused to invite him into any consultation on assessment questions or to even take advantage of the good weapons he gave to the city. The council threw the responsibility upon the assessor, but they showed the acumen on their job as the assessor did on his the city would to-day be treating with the G. T. P. instead of preparing to fight them. Condensed Advertisements. ARE YOU IN NEED OF HELP T Do you wjnt to buy, or ull, or hire, or loan? Try The Optimiat Condensed Ad. route.

PASTOR MULLINS SPLENDID IDEAS OF PRINCE|RUPERTS POSITION ��� PROSPECTS>ND PROSPERITY Secretary of Important Church Society Expects to Visit One of World' Finest Cities Here in the Future���Credits English Church. NEW BUILDING NEW FURNITURE HOT AND COLD WATER IN EVERY ROOM Savoy Hotel A. J. PRUDHOMME, Prop. MODERN APPOINTMENTS The Rev. J. D. Mul ins, secretary of the colonial and continental Church Society, who was a guest of Bishop Du Vernet was much struck with the position and prospects of Prince Rupert. To the "Optimist" he said "I believe beyond doubt that Prince Rupert is to be a second Vancouver and not second to Vancouver either. "I am delighted with the unique planning of the city in advance of construction, and the foresight of the promoters which prevented squatters from settling higgledy piggledy over the townsite to the detriment of the street system later on. "Do you know" went on Mr. Mullins "that they have only just instituted in England a law as to the proper planning of new parts of towns before building begins! Of course," he went on with a twinkle "as there are by this time quite a number of towns and cities in England the measure comes just a little late. "Prince Rupert's trade with the ever increasing prosperity of the Far east is assured" went on Mr. Mullins. "Once your railway is linked up it will be busy with trade both east and westwards. There is little fear of your rival's op position hurting you when you have the best harbor and the best grade. "When I return here two years after the railway opens up I expect���indeed I am certain to see here a great and prosperous city on the most beautiful site situated in some of the world's most marvellous scenery." Mr. Mullins went on to explain the position of the church of England as pioneer through its missionaries of this part of the world. "The English church I missionaries were here first carrying the gospel to the coast Indians" he said "and as the white settlers came the missionaries were able to welcome them and teach their children and assist in the organization of their young communities. The Church Missionary Society and the Society of which I am secretary work into one another's hands. They are not officially linked societies, but where the church missionary society's work comes to fruition with the advent of civilized settlements out here, our society takes up the work and provides for the re- igious needs ot the growing community until with sturdy Canadian independence the community becomes able and willing to support its own church and pastor."

Toronto, August 26.���The License Commissioners this morning granted the executors of the Clooney estate permission to transfer the license of the liquor store at 928 Bloor street west, formerly owned by the late Mrs. Kate Clooney, to her nephew, John J. Ryan. The price paid for the transfer is $31,000. Mr. M. J. Ryan, a brother of Mrs. Clooney, and one of the executors of her estate, was present, and said that he owned the liquor store about fifteen years ago. After running the business for some time he sold it to his sister, Mrs. Clooney, who was in charge of the business until her death about a year ago. "What did you pay for the license 16 years ago?" Commissioner Lamb asked Mr. Ryan. "I paid $5,000 for it then," answered Mr. Ryan. "And now it is worth $31,000?" "Yes." "I don't see why these people by a monopoly should make $25,000 in fifteen years without earning it," said Mr. Lamb. "It is true that legislation was taken to provide that this unearned increment should go to the people. It is true that the increased population has made the license more valuable, but the liquor dealers are not responsible for the increase in population." "I agree with Mr. Lamb," said Chairman Coatsworth, "but it must be un derstood that is is not this case alone that we are referring to, but to the monopoly of the liquor trade in general." . "There is another thing that I would like to mention," Mr. Lamb went on, "and that is the fact that a hotel with six bartenders doing s rushing business only pays the same license fee as one with one bartender, and I think that a graded scale whould be introduced that would place them all on ah even footing." FOR EIGHT-HOUR DAY Machinists' Strike on Pacific Coaat Ia Being Fought Hard Toronto, August 26.���Wm. Hannan the sixth international vice-president of the Machinists' Union, has notified the local business agent of that union to warn all union machinists to stay away from Vancouver, Victoria, Spokane, Seattle, Portland, Astoria, Los Angeles, and Long Beach, California.
