WORKMAN FALLS TWENTY FEET OFF WALL OF NEW BANK OF MONTREAL BUILDING Stunned by Fall and Carried to Hospital on a Stretcher���Injuries To Back and Side Which May Be Serious. An accident occurred this morning to D. C. Yates a workman employed on the construction of the new concrete building on Third avenue near Fulton street in process of erection for the new premises of the Bank of Montreal. Yates was standing on the top of one of the walls at the rear of the corner of the building facing Fifth street and was engaged in removing lagging from the wall when he overbalanced himself and fell a distance of some fifteen or twenty feet to the ground. He was stunned by the fall and remained unconscious for some time. Efforts were made to bring him round and he regained consciousness sufficiently to complain of injuries to his back and side. Dr. McNeil was at once summoned and arriving promptly examined Yates who had relapsed into a semi comatose condition. The examination showed to Dr. McNeil that the man's injuries were serious, though it was impossible to judge their extent on the spot. Dr. McNeil accordingly advised Yates' removal to the hospital without delay. A stretcher was obtained and Yates was conveyed to the hospital. A rumor to the effect that the man's back was broken by the fall is unconfirmed by Dr. McNeil, but there can be no doubt that his injuries are serious. mdignantly" *as a girl of sixteen being y ill treated because she had workin/Hthe ""I0" and try t0 8�� Klng duri��g the strike in the oared i CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 AUSTRALIAN MUTTON Full Cargo is Sent From Sydney to Vancouver (Special to the Optimist) Sydney, Sept 26.���The liner Makura sailed today for Vancouver with a full cargo of frown mutton.

EXCITEMENT AT NIAGARA FALLS GOES THROUGH WHIRLPOOL RAPIDS IN MOTOR BOAT Foolhardy Trick of Captain Laraen��� Only Man Who Has Ever Passed Through Rapids and Lived to Tell the Tale. Niagara Falls, N. Y., Sept. 23���Captain Klaus Larsen, in his little motor- boat, the Ferro, late yesterday made a successful trip from the foot of the cataract through the whirlpool rapids to within a mile of Lewiston, a distance of four and one half miles. He started from Maid (of the Mist dock at 4:45 and ran on a rock near the American shore 5:30. Despite the battering of the whirlpool rapids, Lar- sent went through safely, but his boat was leaking badly at the finish, and throughout the trip, Larsen had intended starting at 2 o'clock, but was delayed by engine trouble. Besides, the authorities threatened to interfere on the ground of attempted suicide. The Ferro swung under the cantilever bridge, the engine running at top speed, and was caught in the swift drift where the river begins its rush down to the whirlpool rapids. Larsen held to the middle of the channel, and in less than three minutes had made the great pool. In the trip through the rapids the little boat was lost to sight most of the time, but at Great Wave she shot twenty feet out of the water. The boat landed right and continued to the pool. Larsen kept to the outer edge of the pool and passed out and down without accident. Just as he left the pool the engine stopped working and Larsen was at the mercy of the waters, hardly less violent than those above. The little boat swung stern first and turned completely over. Larsen coming up with it badly battered. Here also his leg was injured. After that Larsen was a mere plaything for the rapids, unable to hold the course, the boat swinging from one side to the other. After going through the Devil's Hole the Ferro swung toward the rocks on the American side of the river, rolled over one boulder and became wedged between two others. There Larsen stayed for five minutes, forty feet from shore, working desperately to release the craft. Getting free he was hit by a comber and went careening towards the middle. At the bend, with the Leadstone bridge in sight, the boat drifted toward the American side again and was then caught in the shore eddy. The Ferro grounded this time near enough shore to be caught by Roy Rockwell, of this city, who waded into the water and caught a rope thrown by Larsen. Larsen wanted to keep on the trip, but having accomplished the worst part of the journey he was persuaded to board a trolley to Lewiston, letting the boat adrift. Except the old Maid of the Mist, sent through in 1864 to avoid seizure, Lar- sen's is the only engine propelled craft that has gone through the rapids. Peter Nissen, of Chicago, in 1900, and C. A. Percy, in 1887 and 1909, went through the rapidB safely in barrels. No one else has ever passed through the rapids and lived. Buy case eggs for political meetings but don't eat them.

New Westminsters Beat the Nationals by Eleven to One New Westminster, Sept. 26,���The local team proved the victors in the struggle for the Minto Cup on Saturday, beating .he Nationals of Montreal by a score of eleven to one. It was uphill work for the local champions at the beginning, taking seven and a half minutes to score the first goal. The visitors scored one and that was all that could be done in the first quarter. But early in the succeeding quarter the Westminsters scored awain, and from that time on seemed to have the game all their own way, their opponents failing to score at all. There was great rejoicing over the result, as this gives the local holders of the cup two straight games. PRINCE RUPERT'S WATER SUPPLY EXCELLENT PRECAUTIONS FOR FIRE PROTECTION While Supply For Domestic Purposes Will Continue Ample Even in Dry Weather Thanks to City Engineer. FIRE FIGHTERS' NEW APPLIANCES WHERE THE TWO NEW HOSE REELS WILL BE STATIONED. Fire Chief Mclnnis Chooses Positions and Will Advise Committee Still Waiting For the Larger Fire Extinguisher. The two new hose reels which have arrived at the fire station are awaiting the result of Fire Chief Mclnnis' report to the Fire and Water committee of the city council regarding the best positions for them so as to safeguard the congested districts of Section one. Each hose reel is constructed to accommodate 500 feet of hose. Fire Chief Mclnnis has a full supply of hose in hand for the both reels with 900 feet for the present hose waggon, and some 500 or 600 feet to spare. At present the congested portions of Section one are protected by lengths of hose kept ready for instant action at the corner of Sixth street and Second avenue, and at Sixth street and Third avenue, and Fire Chief Mclnnis proposes to recommend that one of the new hose reels be stationed at the corner of Sixth street and Second avenue as this is an important centre and as the water pressure there is good. "The position on Sixth street and Third avenue is not quite so good," says the Fire chief, "as the water pressure is lower there." The station to be recommended by Mr.' Mclnnis for the second hose reel is at the junction of Eighth street and Second avenue. This position will be an advantageous one the Fire Chief thinks. Aid. Mobley says that the Fire and Water committee will be guided largely in their decision regarding the placing of these reels by the advice of Fire Chief Mclnnis. Regarding the new combined chemical fire extinguishing apparatus and motor hose reel, both Fire Chief Mclnnis and Aid. Mobley are still in the expectation stage. "The new appliance was ordered quite two months ago" says Aid. Mobley "but there is the usual delay in delivery from which business men and civic communities alike suffer. However we may expect the machine any day now., Freight Engineer Killed Terre Haute, .Sept. 24.���(Special)��� The northbound passenger train on the Southern Indiana line this monring collided with a fast freight. The freight freight engineer was killed and four other men were seriously injured. The city water supply is at present in a very satisfactory condition both as regards demestic supply and supply for fire protection. This condition of things the citizens owe very largely to the foresight and exertions of the city engineer who has planned and carried out the compensation supply and fire reserve system for periods of dry weather or when the sources are partly frost bound. "The present condition of things regarding the water supply is this," said the city engineer this morning: With the unaugmented sources alone to depend on, a week of dry weather reduces the quantity of water so much that there is not sufficient to supply consumers. The pumping system is then set goinfj and draws its supply from the upper part of Hays Creek where a dam has been constructed. This pumped supply compensates the city reservoir for the shortage due to drought. "Meanwhile as long as the pumped supply continues we shut off the supply to the city reservoir from three small reservoirs on the mountain side, and reserve the water that accumulates in these for fire protection, as the pressure is ample from that source. There is abundance of water for domestic purposes since the Hays Creek supply gives over 300 gallons per minute even in dry weather which is considerably more than the capacity of the pump. But the pumps would not furnish sufficient pressure for fire protection, and on this account it is depended on only to supply consumers, while the water stored on the mountain side is what we depend on for fire protection." The new pressure reducing valve to be fitted to prevent leakage in the pipe system in certain districts is on order but has not yet arrived. As soon as it does arrive it will be fitted. SIMILAR TO CRIPPEN CASE BODY OF GIRL BURIED IN CEMENT CELLAR Believed to Be That of Pretty Stenographer Who Disappeared in January���Death the Result of Operation Which Scared Doctor. (Special to the Optimist) San Francisco, Sept. 24.���A body found under a new cement floor, to which the police were directed by a man named Gordon, has unearthed a murder that is similar in many respects to the Crippen case. Gordon declares that the girl died on an operating table, and the doctor operating becoming frightened disposed of it by the use of nitric acid. A man named Sachs is alleged to have aided the doctor to dispose of the remains, The police are endeavoring to identify the remains as those of a pretty stenographer named Eva Swan, of Pasa Robles, who disappeared in San Francisco last January.

P. howl is a matter which requires but little perspicuity to appreciate. If all that stood between the Grand Trunk Pacific and the accomplishment of ita designs was the lack of a few hundred or thousand railroaders to construct the mountain section it is not at all likely that men of the calibre that Hays and Smithers are presumed to be would waste much tfme going about the country howling about the necessity or Oriental labor. They would simply take a leaf from the Canadian Northern and C. P. R. and improve the conditions under which the railroaders work. If that was not sufficient inducement, a raise of a few cento a day in the pay offered would bring them. The cry that there are not men enough to do the work is all tommy-rot. When the United States commenced to build the Panama Canal it took possession of a pestilential, fever-laden swamp, the graveyard of the hopes, ambitions and reputations of the alleged great men of France, and by the application of proper sanitary science made the camps along the ditch healthy and pleasant places in which to live, with the ultimate result that there is now sufficient labor to build the canal and more offering for the past year than hag been required. The rules which applied to Panama should apply to the Coast section of the Grand Trunk Pacific, and the new transcontinental has the advantage over any other road that ever crossed the mountains in the respect that three quarters of the cost, whatever that may be, is guaranteed by the government, making it a work on which, for all practical purposes, the usual usages of public works could be applied. Furthermore, the other railway enterprises in this country are not raising any howl about shortage of labor or the necessity of importing Orientals and why should the Grand Trunk? It is noticeable in this connection that the agent of the Norwegian government in Montreal, only the other day, came out with the statement that he was advising his fellow countrymen not to come to Canada to work on the railways, as he had ample evidence that they were not well treated when they got here. Considering in connectio with this fact that some six months ago the announcement was made that the G. T. P. had put itself in a position to get all the labor required by opening employment offices in Norway, it is easily seen that any labor shortage which prevails is due to circumstances over which Hays and Smithers have absolute control and which they could amend by merely issuing the orders. It must be that there ia something more than the labor shortage back of this G. T. P. howl. It is a well known fact that President Hays has had engineers on the ground from the commencement ol construction of the Transcontinental and that he has been protesting to Ottawa about the excessive cost, filing his protests in detail to show where the cost is out of all proportion to the difficulties, pointing out the places where the specifications have been altered to give rock prices for loose earth excavation and all the other grafts which have become notorious on the part of the road. Can it be that the stupendous cost which has been piled up against the Transcontinental and on which according to the agreement the G. T. P. must pay three per cent., has frightened Hays to such an extent that he Is about to throw the whole proposition back on the government's hands? If that is the case, the west will say without hesitation "done." If you think your husband too fond of another woman, become her friend and cut him out. There is one thing a woman dreads more than loss of money, or of love. Loss of hair. The O.M.

WORKMAN FALLS TWENTY FEET OFF WALL OF NEW BANK OF MONTREAL BUILDING Stunned by Fall and Carried to Hospital on a Stretcher���Injuries To Back and Side Which May Be Serious. CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 An accident occurred this morning to D. C. Yates a workman employed on the construction of the new concrete building on Third avenue near Fulton street in process of erection for the new premises of the Bank of Montreal. Yates was standing on the top of one of the walls at the rear of the corner of the building facing Fifth Btreet and was engaged in removing lagging from the wall when he overbalanced himself and fell a distance of some fifteen or twenty feet to the ground. He was stunned by the fall and remained unconscious for some time. Efforts were made to bring him round and he regained consciousness sufficiently to complain of injuries to his back and side. Dr. McNeil was at once summoned and arriving promptly examined Yates who had relapsed into a semi comatose condition. The examination showed to Dr. McNeil that the man's injuries were serious, though it was impossible to judge their extent on the spot. Dr. McNeil accordingly advised Yates' removal to the hospital without delay. A stretcher was obtained and Yates was conveyed to the hospital. A rumor to the effect that the man's back was broken by the fall is unconfirmed by Dr. McNeil, but there can be no doubt that his injuries are serious.

Foolhardy Trick of Captain Larsen��� Only Man Who Has Ever Passed Through Rapids and Lived to Tell the Tale. Niagara Falls, N. Y., .Sept. 23.���Captain Klaus Larsen, in his little motor- boat, the Ferro, late yesterday made a successful trip from the foot of the cataract through the whirlpool rapids to within a mile of Lewiston, a distance of four and one half miles. He started from Maid (of the Mist dock at 4:45 and ran on a rock near the American shore 5:30. Despite the battering of the whirlpool rapids, Lar- sent went through safely, but his boat was leaking badly at the finish, and throughout the trip, Larsen had intended starting at 2 o'clock, but was delayed by engine trouble. Besides, the authorities threatened to interfere on the ground of attempted suicide. The Ferro swung under the cantilever bridge, the engine running at top speed, and was caught in the swift drift where the river begins its rush down to the whirlpool rapids. Larsen held to the middle of the channel, and in less than three minutes had made the great pool. In the trip through the rapids the little boat was lost to sight most of the time, but at Great Wave she shot twenty feet out of the water. The bpat landed right and continued to the pool. Larsen kept to the outer edge of the pool arid passed out and down without accident. Just as he left the pool the engine stopped working and Larsen was at the mercy of the waters, hardly less violent than those above. The little boat swung stern first and turned com- pletely over. Larsen coming up with it badly battered. Here also his leg was injured. After that Larsen was a mere plaything for the rapids, unable to hold the course, the boat swinging from one side to the other. After going through the Devil's Hole the Ferro swung toward the rocks on the American side of the river, rolled over one boulder and became wedged between two others. There Larsen stayed for five minutes, forty feet from shore, working desperately to release the craft. Getting free he was hit by a comber and went careening towards the middle. At the bend, with the Leadstone bridge in sight, the boat drifted toward the American side again and was then caught in the shore eddy. The Ferro grounded this time near enough shore to be caught by Roy Rockwell, of this city, who waded into the water and caught a rope thrown by Larsen. Larsen wanted to keep on the trip, but having accomplished the worst part of the journey he was persuaded to board a trolley to Lewiston, letting the boat adrift. Except the old Maid of the Mist, sent through in 1864 to avoid seizure, Lar- sen's is the only engine propelled craft that has gone through the rapids. Peter Nissen, of Chicago, in 1900, and C. A. Percy, in 1887 and 1909, went through the rapids safely in barrels. No one else has ever passed through the rapids and lived. WAS A GREAT VICTORY. New Westminsters Beat the Nationals by Eleven to One New Westminster, .Sept. 26,���The local team proved the victors in the struggle for the Minto Cup on Saturday, beating .he Nationals of Montreal by a score of eleven to one. It was uphill work for the local champions at the beginning, taking seven and a half minutes to score the first goal. The visitors scored one and that was all that could be done in the first quarter. But early in the succeeding quarter the Westminsters scored awain, and from that time on seemed to have the game all their own way, their opponents failing to score at all. There was great rejoicing over the result, as this gives the local holders of the cup two straight games. PRINCE RUPERT'S WATER SUPPLY EXCELLENT PRECAUTIONS FOR FIRE PROTECTION While Supply For Domestic Purposes Will Continue Ample Even in Dry Weather Thanks to City Engineer. FIRE FIGHTERS' NEW APPLIANCES WHERE THE TWO NEW HOSE REELS WILL BE STATIONED. Fire Chief Mclnnis Chooses Positions and Will Advise Committee Still Waiting For the Larger Fire Extinguisher. Buy case eggs for political meetings but don't eat them. Red C. stamped Eggs are the only ones fit to eat. The two new hose reels which have arrived at the fire station are awaiting the result of Fire Chief Mclnnis' report to the Fire and Water committee of the city council regarding the best positions for them so as to safeguard the congested districts of Section one. Each hose reel is constructed to accommodate 500 feet of hose. Fire Chief Mclnnis has a full supply of hose in hand for the both reels with 900 feet for the present hose waggon, and some 500 or 600 feet to spare. At present the congested portions of Section one are protected by lengths of hose kept ready for instant action at the corner of Sixth street and Second avenue, and at Sixth street and Third avenue, and Fire Chief Mclnnis proposes to recommend that one of the new hose reels be stationed at the corner of Sixth street and Second avenue as this is an important centre and as the water pressure there is good. "The position on Sixth street and Third avenue is not quite so good," says the Fire chief, "as the water pressure is lower there." The station to be recommended by Mr. Mclnnis for the second hose reel is at the junction of Eighth street and Second avenue. This position will be an advantageous one the Fire Chief thinks. Aid. Mobley sayB that the Fire and Water committee will be guided largely in their decision regarding the placing of these reels by the advice of Fire Chief Mclnnis. Regarding the new combined chemical fire extinguishing apparatus and motor hose reel, both Fire Chief Mclnnis and Aid. Mobley are still in the expectation stage. "The new appliance was ordered quite two months ago" says Aid. Mobley "but there is the usual delay in delivery from which business men and civic communities alike suffer. However we may expect the machine any day now., The city water supply is at present in a very satisfactory condition both as regards demestic supply and supply for fire protection. This condition of things the citizens owe very largely to the foresight and exertions of the city engineer who has planned and carried out the compensation supply and fire reserve system for periods of dry weather or when the sources are partly frost bound. * "The present condition of things regarding the water supply is this," said the city engineer this morning: With the unaugmented sources alone to depend on, a week of dry weather reduces the quantity of water so much that there is not sufficient to supply consumers. The pumping system is then set goini; and draws its supply from the upper part of Hays Creek where a dam has been constructed. This pumped supply compensates the city reservoir for the shortage due to drought. "Meanwhile as long as the pumped supply continues we shut off the supply to the city reservoir from three small reservoirs on the mountain side, and reserve the water that accumulates in these for fire protection, as the pressure is ample from that source. There is abundance of water for domestic purposes since the Hays Creek supply gives over 300 gallons per minute even in dry weather w-hich is considerably more than the capacity of the pump. But the pumps would not furnish sufficient pressure for fire protection, and on this account it is depended on only to supply consumers, while the water stored on the mountain side is what we depend on for fire protection." The new pressure reducing valve to be fitted to prevent leakage in the pipe system in certain districts is on order but has not yet arrived. As soon as it does arrive it will be fitted.

SIMILAR TO CRIPPEN CASE BODY OF GIRL BURIED IN CEMENT CELLAR Believed to Be That of Pretty Stenographer Who Disappeared in January���Death the Result of Operation Which Scared Doctor. (Special to the Optimist) San Francisco, Sept. 24.���A body found under a new cement floor, to which the police were directed by a man named Gordon, has unearthed a murder that is similar in many respects to the Crippen case. Gordon declares that the girl died on an operating table, and the doctor operating becoming frightened disposed of it by the use of nitric acid. A man named Sachs is alleged to have aided the doctor to dispose of the remains. The police are endeavoring to identify the remains as those of a pretty stenographer named Eva Swan, of Pasa Robles, who disappeared in San Francisco last January.

Mr. Woods expresses himself thoroughly satisfied with the progress of his residence up to the present. ALL LEAVING DAWSON Another Batch of Yukon Officials Who Have Been Let Out There came on the Princess Beatrice yesterday several officials of Yukon territory, notably Mr. and Mrs. J. Sutherland McKay and Mr. and Mrs. Aime Dugas. The latter is the only son of Judge Dugas, senior judge of the territorial court,. He went to the Yukon in company with his father in 1898 and has ever since been in government employ, latterly as chief clerk in the gold office. Mc. McKay was one of the intrepid ones who bulled it through from Edmonton at the great stampede, and was one of the few who reached their destination. He was mining for the first year and on the establishment of the territorial court became assistant clerk, which position he has held until recently. On last week's steamer from Skagway there passed through here S. A. D. Bertrand, who for about ten years had been superintendent of public works and roads in the Yukon. Mr. Bertrand said while here that he would possibly return to politics.

CANADA'S INLAND SEA Canadians of the older provinces and the world at large are gradually awakening to the fact that Canada's frozen north is the richest prospect and most fertile country in the whole world. The next few years are going to be great ones of the Dominion and judging from the newspaper report quoted below one of the possibilities of the near future is a trip from Prince Rupert across Canada to Europe without touching Ontario or Quebec: "A wireless message received by the Secretary of State from the steamer Grey via Fame Point, on September 3, announced the complete success of the Governor-General's expedition through the Hudson Bay country. The object of the trip was perhaps best expressed in Earl Grey's own words: "To explode the theory of the Frozen North." When York Factory, on the western shore of Hudson Bay, was reached, August 19, the weather was hot enough to make swimming delightful, and the nights were made glorious by Northern Lights. "The run to Churchill," according to the wireless message, "was most enjoyable, no wraps being required while sitting on deck. At eleven o'clock in the evening we were on deck without coats or hats. Summer sailing on the Mediterranean of Canada we found as pleasant as it could have been on the Mediterranean of the Old World. At Churchill's Harbor} the next morning, we were on deck at six o'clock in pajamas for coffee." On the run from Churchill to Hudson Strait "the weather was fine, and wraps were superfluous. No ice was seen���not even enough to cool a glass of champagne," On the 26th, coasting down the shore of Baffin Land,several icebergs were seen drifting in from Davis Strait, but the trip, as a whole, through the bay and the strait "was as pleasant as a summer sail upon the Atlantic. Certainly had we not known we never would have guessed that we were on what has been popularly regarded as a Polar Sea. We constantly spoke of it as the Mediterranean. For one hundred and seventy-eight years the Hudson's Bay company's ships have come in without missing a year, save once."

"They seek what is just. The reason for that injustice was because there was not enough of the spirit of Jesus Christ in the homes of these strikers." With other dramatic stories told in true evangelistic manner the pastor carried home to his hearers the message of the power of Christ in the homes right here in Prince Rupert. "I pray" he said "that the homes of this new city of Prince Rupert may become the happiest homes in all Canada���yes, and in all | the world, because of the spirit of Christ in them; and that this young Baptist church here may with the other churches and agencies doing battle for Christ in this city, be greatly blessed in the championship of this cause."

CITY FATHER'S WOULD But Couldn't Shoot Venison on count of Weather Ac- His Worship the mayor and Aid. Mobley accompanied city engineer Davies to the city camp near Woodworth I Lake one day last week. The object was to see how A. W. Agnew and his staff of chain men, etc., were getting along with the surveys for the city water works. The trio arrived in the late afternoon and after a hearty supper of venison steak and other good things the city chef is noted for providing a quiet evening was spent under canvas. They slept on plank beds and were lost to the world for several hours. They did not hear the rain and were greatly disappointed in the morning to find everything soaked, and the heavy dew still falling. The city fathers decided to stay in camp, but the engineer went out and examined the work and then came home. The other two laid around in their fireless tent all morning, and in a neighboring tent, where there was a fire, all afternoon. They figured on doing some shooting the following day and rather enjoyed the long day and night listening to Alex's string of yarns. Next day however it was still pouring up on the mountains and the would be venison hunters got disgusted and started for home, arriving here with a wet skin and an empty stomach. .

Now three is direct evidence of the dumping of lumber into the Canadian market from Washington and Ogeron. Times in the Western States are not of the best, and with the falling off of demand for lumber there, the mills in Washington are shipping in large quatnities into the middle Canadian Weet, and selling at cut prices. The result is a depression in British Columbia. Up to early summer, the domestic market was good, With the rumor of adverse crop conditions it fell off, and only the local trade has saved the situation. The price of logs has dropped to from $7.50 to {8.50, which is low. In shingles, to put it literally, nothing is doing. Just before harvest is the dull season, and the little that would be offering would be saved to Canadians if the one industry that is afforded no protection got the tnoiety that is dde. The added consideration has been advanced, that it will help conserve the timber, for when odd lengths are offered, the retailers in the North-West, they could not then threaten that they would buy in the United States unless they got them for nothing to sell at regular rates. British Columbia, in its growing time, asks for a square deal.���Monetary Times.

I The strength developed by Mr. Tourassa's Nationalist movement in Juebec is giving the government concern. i is acknowledged that Sir Wilfrid i's retreat at Arthabaskaville ot any more designed to give the ime minister rest than to enable him lyze the political situation at close sane. als who have already sized up Hie position in Quebec are confident that r Wilfrid will, in the interval of his it at Arthabaskaville, have sufficiently ipiosed the conditions to convince lira that Mr. Bourassa and his policy pve taken a serious hold in Quebec. pat he will devise something to avert Headed split in the party they are Png to believe, but the practical pol- pians of the party trust that he will 1 d a solution in a protracted delay in pding contracts for construction of fjps such as will enable the party to ^ over the forthcoming general ttion. lactate to u Extra Provincial Company COMPANIES ACT.

THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST Going to Discontinue Handling Stationery CITY CONTRACT LABOR DISPUTE Situation Remains Unchanged, MeMordie and Men Remain Firm. The situation regarding the labor dispute on S. P. McMordie's contract on Second avenue remains unaltered today. Mr. MeMordie after paying off thirty men on Saturday at 3 p.m. finds that with the men he engaged to carry on the work on Saturday morning, he has sufficient labor to meet the requirements of the contract in its present stage. "I had more labor offered than I have use for" he said this morning. The city engineer states that Mr. MeMordie is conducting the work according to the contract conditions, and that there will be no interference regarding the difference between labor and contractor on the part of the city. A number of the workmen who were paid off on Saturday have started on other jobs the unloading of the steel steamer affording employment for several; and several have been offered work on the G. T. P. construction contracts. MINING ON STREET Port Arthur Lucky Enou gh to Walk on Silver Port Arthur, Sept. 2 3.���Work commenced today on the development of the silver vein discovered in the early spring within the southerly city limits of Port Arthur. The property was purchased by Cyrus W. Baker of Denver, Colo., and on the agreement pays Stewart & Hewitson $50,000 and will spend $20,000 at least in developments. The vein was uncovered in quarrying operations and assays of the ore ran from $500 to $800 a ton The first work will be the sinking of a 100-foot double shaft. Haven't room for it and are going to drop this department. The balance now on hand, consisting mostly of boxed writing papers, tablets and quire papers, such as the well known Holland Linen, will be sold at less than cost. . . We also have on hand about three hundred cloth and paper bound books and they are on sale at just Half Price. H. S. Wallace & Co. UMITED Dry Good. Chinaware Etc. -PHONE 9- Cor. Fulton St. and Third Ave Silver Cup We unqualifiedly recommend the immediate purchase of SILVER CUP MINING shares at 12 1-2 cents per share. The Treasury fund is fast growing into proportions that will enable the company to proceed on a scale that is calculated to add great value to the shares. After this treasury issue is disposed of and as development proceeds, there will be a lot of people wanting SILVER CUP stock, and to secure it they will be obliged to offer a sufficient profit to the early purchaser to induce him to sell. Why not be one of the early purchasers and thereby secure the stock at a price that will give you the maximum of profit. /. R. Talpey Co.
