As representative a body of British subjects as could be gathered anywhere in the British dominions, in every centre and corner of which similar meetings were being Weld yesterday, was that which congregated at the Empress theatre to take part in memorial services on the day of the funeral of King Edward. Every seat was occupied, and as many as could crowd in stood during the whole programme at the rear and in the aisles. It was representative of all classes, all creeds and all nationalities resident in the city, young and old. rich and poor. All the churches of the city were represented���Right Rev. F. H. Du Vernet and Rev. T. Ci Des Barres of the Episcopalian; Rev. A. M. Rqss of the Presbyterian; Rev. C. F. Connor of the Methodist and Rev. Father E. M. Bunoz of the Roman Catholic, and all took part in the exercizes. The newly elected mayor and aldermen occupied the front row of seats as official representatives of, the city o! Prince Rupert. The programme was simple but impressive, and all present wore the air of those mourning the loss by death of one near ancl dear. It was opened by that beautiful classic, so peculiarly appropriate to such occasions, "Lead Kindly Light." This was given by the united choirs, Miss Froud, organist of the Presbyterian church, accompanying. All stood with bowed heads as if about a bier, while Rev. T. C. Des Barres read the opening verses of the burial service, beginning with the Christian's hope, "I know that my Redeemer liveth." The fifteenth Psalm was next read, verse by verse alternately by the minister and the people. Rev. A. M. Ross delivered an extempore prayer for those bereaved by the death of the British monarch, which was followed by the anthem, Come unto Me." The lesson of the day was read by C. F. Connor, and the congregation sang, "Nearer my God to Thee." There were two memorial addresses, one hy Bishop du Vernet and the other by Father Bunoz. The former said, in part: v\ e have met together to-day, as citizens of Prince Rupert, on a most solemn and memorable occasion. We have met together to-day for the first 'jme as an organized city, with duly elected mayor and council, who are Present with us. We have met together Wth representatives of all races and nationalities in our midst; all creeds "id all churches, all classes rich and I'����r, young and old. for ^^^^^^^^^ The meeting is ��ne common purpose; to pay our tribute of respect to the late King Edward and to lay the wreath of immortelles of Prince Rupert upon the royal coffin. "fry thousand British soldiers were j���ng the streets of London this morn- ��igi standing shoulder to shoulder, rnis meeting I take as emblematic of what is happening all over the Brit's" Empire to-day. Millions of British objects are doing as we are doing, standing shoulder to shoulder in loyal reverence as^ the furneral cortege of our be- ��ved King moves onward to the grave. His lordship began at this point his eulogium of Edward the Peacemaker, reviewing international events and the monarch's influence over them after he came to the throne. It was not granted to King Edward to have a long reign, said the bishop, only nine months and three years and fourteen days. But this short reign in the first decade of the twentieth century would probably be more memorable than the sixty years of his illustrious mother. While it was true t hat we have a constitutional monarchy, and the power of the monarch is constitutionally limited, no one knew better how to appreciate this more than King Edward. And it is equally true that, in a perfectly constitutional manner, he wielded a tremendous influence over the affairs of the nation, and extended that influence with the benign blessings of peace to other nations. In conclusion, he said that when we think of the horror of war King Edward did so much to prevent, one cannot but feel fully justified in applying to Edward VII., the seventh beatitude, "Blessed are the peace makers, for they shall be called the children of God." "Jesus, Saviour, Pilot Me," sung by a male quartette, prefaced the able address of Rev. Father Bunoz, of which space permits of but a brief synopsis. Very seldom, he said, had the death of a monarch produced such a general manifestation of grief and regret all over the world. Four hundred millions of his subjects, although separated by space, race, language, customs and creeds, from the Ganges to the Arctic ocean and from the Antipodes to the British isles, there was one common general feeling of sorrow and lamentation of the loss of King Edward to the British Empire. The father said he would not quote from the many volumes of praise of the dead monarch that had been written in the past two weeks. He endorsed all of them. King Edward's funeral oration, the only one, was that he was a true king. He was not a king to some, and left others in the cold; not of one class but of all classes; not of one creed but of all creeds. He expected and received the loyalty of all, because he respected the rights and feelings of all. As an instance of the dead monarch's religious tolerance and broad-mindedness the father, as a Catholic, referred to King Edward's reply to the cable of Catholic bishops assembled in Quebec. In this reply he said he would protect the religious liberty of all his subjects. "Let us say," concluded the reverend father, " 'God save the king' applied to his immortal soul; let us say 'God save the King' to our new ruler, to whom millions of catholics all over the world are to-day renewing their most devoted loyalty." Bishop Du Vernet pronounced the benediction. Miss Froud played the "Dead March" in Saul on the organ, the assembly standing with bowed heads during the recital, and the singing of the National Anthem closed the interesting , but at all times, solemn and sorrowing services. Vancouver, May 20���The jury which heard Charles Heaton's case, found | him guilty of assault upon Detective McKenzie yesterday. Heaton was in a resort in Prince Rupert on a Sunday night when Detective McKenzie entered. A wordy war ensued, and the detective drew a revolver and shot Heaton through the fleshy part of the leg. Heaton then attacked McKenzie and gave him a severe beating. As a result both men were laid up several LONDON'S SHOW OF SORROW EIGHT MONARCHS SADLY FOLLOW THE BIER OF KING EDWARD Over Two Millions of Mourning Subjects View the Great Funeral Pageant, Which Was Two Hours in Passing. , Roosevelt in Attendance.

I see you thoroughly grasp my idea. The election is over. We have got to bury the past so far as that is concerned. We cannot afford to show some of the feelings engendered by and during the election. We must bury them, and will take hold and pull together In this connection I take this opportunity of thanking Mr. Manson for the clean manner in which his campaign has been conducted. I have endeavoured to do the same and as a consequence we have had a clean election. There is only one thing more to say���I thank you from the bottom of my heart. When Mr. Manson was called for that he would be there and respond seemed to be entirely unexpected on the part of the audience, and his appearance was, therefore, all the more heartily applauded. He first offered his sincere congratulations to Mayor Stork, and after other compliments of a statesmanlike character, he went on to say; I do not accept my defeat in any Throughout the whole proceedings j spirit of ill will.

But the tumult did not seem to "rattle" the newly- elected ruler of the city at all, and at the first break in the victorious applause his voice rose clear and free from tremor. It was evident that he had faced large crowds before. As he spoke, his radiant features fell into more dignified lines as if he had already assumed the mayoral mantle: He said: Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen,���It is not my intention to make a speech to night. You could scarcely expect it of me. But I can, and I feel that I must, say my thanks and express my appreciation of the confidence you have shown in me to-day. 1 can only thank you for returning me as the first mayor of Prince Rupert. That, in after years, when our city has grown to the noblest of proportions, I shall always look back with pride and with gratitude to you. I have also to thank you for putting into office an able body of councillors. We asked for a whole ticket, but we didn't get it. But we did get a large portion of it and I have confidence in stating my opinion that the men you have selected as the first alderman of your city will do you credit. 1��M^:5 I As we are clearing out our Clothing We are offering Some Great Values -IN- I I Suitings and Trousers Nice West of England Worsteds Scotch Tweeds, Canadian Tweeds At Half Price. i HATS All shapes, styles and sizes at prices that nobody should be without a new Hat for spring.

Having entered the contest and fought a clean fight, for which my opponent generously gives me credit, I have nothing to regret. Before taking my seat I would like to present to your mayor a volume containing the incorporation acts of the city of Prince Rupert. These Acts were printed at my request when attending the house last winter, and they are presented with the compliments of the provincial government. I have not yet received the final returns as to the election of aldermen, so I place in the hands of your mayor, copies to be handed to these gentlemen elected. I wish to express hearty thanks to the many friends who have assisted me in this campaign, and today that I appreciate their efforts just as much as though I had been elected. Frank Mobley was next called upon and said he could scarcely find words to express his appreciation of the honour conferred upon him, at the same time he fully realized the work that honor imposed upon him. He would endeavor to finish his term in a manner that would retain the good opinion shown of him, but was afraid he had been overestimated.

Portland Canal Stocks a Specialty Daily Wires Samuel Harrison INTERVIEWS. &Co. Real Estate and Financial Brokers Second Ave., Prince Rupert Fifth Street, Stewart Samuel Harrison Vernon S. Gamble Notary Public His Worship Alfred Stork, the successful candidate for the mayoralty, was caught "with all his blushing honors thick upon him," in front of the assessor's office, waiting for the official returns of the vote on aldermen. When asked what he considered to have been the particular issue that had decided the election he replied unhesitatingly and with emphasis���"The desire of the people to have real home rule. For the past two years the city has been governed from Victoria, through an agent, and no matter what that agent did, whether good or bad for the city, there was a natural resentment against this form of government. The feeling was similar to that you fellows showed in the Klondyke where you kicked and kicked against councilmen appointed from Ortawa until you got a wholly elective council. That sentiment, in my opinion, was the strongest point in our campaign here. There were other questions-of course, but this I look upon as the crucial one upon which the contest was really decided." What the Boys Say. F. H. Mobley���They overestimated my ability, but I will try to qualify it. F. Bowness���G. W. is the best sport of all. He comes up with a smile no matter what happens. G. R. Naden���It is a declaration for home rule. I think Prince Rupert is to be congratulated on the personnel of the first council. W. P. Lynch���It does no harm to discuss things. It awakens public in- teest and leads to study of public affairs which must result in good. F. G. Dawson���I am tickled with the result. V. W. Smith���We fought a clean campaign. I am ready to stand upon the platform upon which I was elected. T. D. Pattullo���The result is in the best interests of the city. Now we ought to all get in an boost it along. This is the time to be magnanimous. G. W. Arnott���Although defeated I am satisfied to accept the verdict. It was a great success for the ticket. Those of us who were not on still have the best interests of the city at heart. I wish to thank my supporters and to say that I hope to live to fight again. H. Douglas���You never can tell. T. Y.

Let's get down to business and all work to make Prince Rupert what it ought to be���the best city on the Coast. I want to thank all that voted for me, and if at any time I can do anything to help the city, all they have to do is to say the word. M. M. Stephens���I am glad it is all over as I am nearly all tired out. I am thankful to thc people for their support, but would rather they had elected G. R. Naden. As far as I am concerned, every pledge on behalf of the ticket will be carried out. Dr. Mclntyre���Now that the smoke of battle has cleared away, and Prince Rupert's first election is a matter of history, I look for great improvements in the near future. The greatest interest was in the Mayoralty contest, and even the most enthusiastic supporters of Mayor Stork did not expect such a victory However, it must be said of Mr. Manson that he put up a clean fight, and his manly attitude on the platform last night in presenting the newly elected Mayor and Aldermen with neat copies of our 'Incorporation Act, Municipal Clauses Act & etc. has already wiped out the stigma of defeat, and marks the member for the Skeena District a gentleman in the highest sense of the word. We can ill afford to lose the services of an able and experienced man like Geo. R. Naden, but then our loss is his gain. On the whole we have a good live Council, and results will follow. Henceforth you can keep your eye on Prince Rupert and watch us grow A. R. M. Barrow���I am indeed glad to be elected and will do my best to serve the the city. It is good to see such a strong feeling of "bury the hatchet" among the candidates. Had I been elected with Mr. Manson as mayor, I would have worked in perfect harmony with him. Court Mourning Hon.

CHARITY or BUSINESS ��� Which? ��� THE germ of both Life and Fire Insurance had its rise in the custom of taking up a collection for the stricken family. 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 duty 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 ancl 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 antl 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.

After being driven around town in an open baroche, at, the head of a shouting torchlight procession, carrying lighted brooms steeped in kerosene, "His Worship" was bodily hauled from the carriage, carried on the shoulders of the cheering crowd down the theatre aisles and most unceremoniously dumped upon the platform Later on there appeared on this same platform, most of the candidates in Prince Rupert's first civic election. There was the defeated candidate for the mayoralty, William Manson, and about him and the mayor elect were, Thomas Dunn, chairman William Manson Frank Mobley A. A. Mclntyre T. D. Pattullo W. P. Lynch V. W. Smith A. R. M. Barrow J. H. Hilditch M. M. Stephens G. R. Naden H. H. Clarke G. W. Morrow The School Srustees present were��� C. V. Bennett John Currie Throughout the whole proceedings of this great ratification meeting there was the most marked harmony,���most emphatically including in this harmony the speeches made by the defeated as well as those of the victorious candidates. At the first there .was a tendency to jeer at the names of the unlucky ones. But this was a spasmodic exhibition of too narrow minded a sentimental basis to find many supporters, and it may safely be assumed that this representative gathering���for everyone was there who could crowd in, many ladies included���was on the whole well satisfied at the result of Prince Rupert's first municipal election. Thomas Dunn presided over the meeting, and in taking the chair said he would not detain the crowd more | than a minute. He very nearly kept, j his word, bottling up his eloquence j until the close of the meeting, when he made a rattling good speech. He first congratulated the people upon their selection of a first mayor for the city, for Mr. Stork had told them what he intended to do in that capacity, and what he said he would do they could rely upon it being done. They would hear from the mayor and the aldermen- elect, and also fro m some of the defeated candidates. He should call upon them to speak in the order they stood upon the election returns. He then called upon Mayor Stork, who received a remarkable demonstration. But the tumult did not seem to "rattle" the newly- elected ruler of the city at all, and at the first break in the victorious applause his voice rose clear and free from tremor. It was evident that he had faced large crowds before. As he spoke, his radiant features fell into more dignified lines as if he had already assumed the mayoral mantle: He said: Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen,���It is not my intention to make a speech to night. You could scarcely expect it of me. But I can, and I feel that I must, say my thanks and express my appreciation of the confidence you have shown in me to-day. I can only thank you for returning me as the first mayor of Prince Rupert. That, in after years, when our city has grown to the noblest of proportions, I shall always look back with pride and with gratitude to you. I have also to thank you for putting into office an able body of councillors. We asked for a whole ticket, but we didn't get it. But we did get a large portion of it and 1 have confidence in stating my opinion that the men you have selected as the first alderman of your city will do you credit. I told you last night that on the 19th of the month, I was elected the first mayor of Fernie. On the 19th of the present month I am elected first mayor of Prince Rupert. From now on I shall hold that the 19th of the month is my lucky day. This day , we can also say, is the birthday of our city, and it is natural that a Stork should have much to do with it. And if it had not beem a Stork it would have been a MAN SON. There was a burst of laughter and cheering at these two innocent puns, and the mingled laughs and cheers were again and again renewed. I see you thoroughly grasp my idea. The election is over. We have got to bury the past so far as that is concerned. We cannot afford to show some of the feelings engendered by and during the election. We must bury them, and will take hold and pull together In this connection I take this opportunity of thanking Mr. Manson for the clean manner in which his campaign has been conducted. I have endeavoured to do the same and as a consequence we have had a clean election. There is only one thing more to say���I thank you from the bottom of my heart. When Mr. Manson was called for that he would be there and respond seemed to be entirely unexpected on the part of the audience, and his appearance was, therefore, all the more heartily applauded. He first offered his sincere congratulations to Mayor Stork, and after other compliments of a statesmanlike character, he went on to say; I do not accept my defeat in any spirit of ill will. During my time in public service I have had quite a few elections and some few defeats. I have been elected, I think, fifteen times and have been defeated three times, and I can take a defeat just as placidly and good humoredly as I can take a victory. I would also like to say that, although defeated for the office of mayor, as the member of the provincial government from this district, my services are at the disposal of your council at any and all times, and there doubtless will be questions arising in regard to which, as the representative of this district in Victoria, I may He of some service to them. In regard to the campaign just closed, no doubt after the final result is known and all is over, many expressions of opinion will be ventured as to my having entered this campaign. I have no personal regrets to make, although I have not been successful. I think the contest has been one that has awakened a real interest in our civic affairs, that will always be helpful in the future. All these discussions of the questions at issue, all these questions that have come up and have been answered by the several candidates���all this has been of great advantage to your new city, an advantage you will appreciate more as time goes on. Having entered the contest and fought a clean fight, for which my opponent generously gives me credit, I have nothing to regret. Before taking my seat I would like to present to your mayor a volume containing the incorporation acts of the city of Prince Rupert. These Acts were printed at my request when attending the house last winter, and they are presented with the compliments of the provincial government. I have not yet received the final returns as to the election of aldermen, so I place in the hands of your mayor, copies to be handed to these gentlemen elected. I wish to express hearty thanks to the many friends who have assisted me in this campaign, and today that I appreciate their efforts just as much as though I had been elected. Frank Mobley was next called upon and said he could scarcely find words to express his appreciation of the honour conferred upon him, at the same time he fully realized the work that honor imposed upon him. He would endeavor to finish his term in a manner that would retain the good opinion shown of him, but was afraid he had been overestimated.

FISCAL AGENTS The Main Reef Mining Co. Portland Canal Stocks a Specialty Daily Wires Samuel Harrison &Co. Real Estate and Financial Brokers Second Ave., Prince Rupert Fifth Street, Stewart Samuel Harrison Vernon S. Gamble Notary Public INTERVIEWS. His Worship Alfred Stork, the successful candidate for the mayoralty, was caught "with all his blushing honors thick upon him," in front of the assessor's office, waiting for the official returns of the vote on aldermen. When asked what he considered to have been the particular issue that had decided the election he replied unhesitatingly and with emphasis���"The desire of the people to have real home rule. For the past two years the city has been governed from Victoria, through an agent, and no matter what that agent did, whether good or bad for the city, there was a natural resentment against this form of government. The feeling was similar to that you fellows showed in the Klondyke where you kicked and kicked against councilmen appointed from Ortawa until you got a wholly elective council. That sentiment, in my opinion, was the strongest point in our campaign here. There were other questions-of course, but this I look upon as the crucial one upon which the contest was really decided." What the Boys Say. F. H. Mobley���They overestimated my ability, but I will try to qualify it. F. Bowness���G. W. is the best sport of all. He comes up with a smile no matter what happens. G. R. Naden���It is a declaration for home rule. I think Prince Rupert is to be congratulated on the personnel of the first council. W. P. Lynch���It does no harm to discuss things. It awakens public in- teest and leads to study of public affairs which must result in good. F. G. Dawson���I am tickled with the result. V. W. Smith���We fought a clean campaign. I am ready to stand upon the platform upon which I was elected. T. D. Pattullo���The result is in the best interests of the city. Now we ought to all get in an boost it along. This is the time to be magnanimous. G. W. Arnott���Although defeated I am satisfied to accept the verdict. It was a great success for the ticket. Those of us who were not on still have the best interests of the city at heart. I wish to thank my supporters and to say that I hope to live to fight again. H. Douglas���You never can tell. T. Y. McKay���There are more tin horns and gentlemen of easy virtue than white men in Prince Rupert. Crip���The indescribable effect of the proximity of Halley's Comet must have turned the heads of the people. Bob Ross���Poor Pack! Patrick Isaac���The only way I could save my face was to offer to bet ten thousand and I was scared Mac was going to take me. H. H. Clarke���Aol I have to say is that it is all over. Let's get down to business and all work to make Prince Rupert what it ought to be���the best city on the Coast. I want to thank all that voted for me, and if at any time I can do anything to help the city, all they have to do is to say the word. M. M. Stephens���I am glad it is all over as I am nearly all tired out. I am thankful to the people for their support, but would rather they had elected G. R. Naden. As far as I am concerned, every pledge on behalf of the ticket will be carried out. Dr. McIntyre--Now that the smoke of battle has cleared away, and Prince Rupert's first election is a matter of history, I look for great improvements in the near future. The greatest interest was in the Mayoralty contest, and even the most enthusiastic supporters of Mayor Stork did not expect such a victory However, it must be said of Mr. Manson that he put up a clean fight, an 1 his manly attitude on the platform last night in presenting the newly elected Mayor and Aldermen with neat copies of our 'Incorporation Act, Municipal Clauses Act & etc. has already wiped out the stigma of defeat, and marks the member for the Skeena District a gentleman in the highest sense of the word. We can ill afford to lose the services of an able and experienced man like Geo. R. Naden, but then our loss is his gain. On the whole we have a good live Council, and results will follow. Henceforth you can keep your eye on Prince Rupert and watch us grow A. R. M. Barrow���I am indeed glad to be elected and will do my best to j serve the the city. It is good to see such a strong feeling of "bury the hatchet" i among the candidates. Had I been elected with Mr. Manson as mayor, I would have | worked in perfect harmony with him Court Mourning Hon. Chas. Murphy, Secretary of State for Canada.makes the following announcement in the Official Gazette of British Columbia: 'Court mourning will last until May Sixth, nineteen hundred and eleven. It is expected that the public will wear decent mourning from May twelfth. Duration not fixed yet.' A Public Holiday. The first act of Mayor-elect Stork was to declare May 20th, a public holiday in memory of our late King Edward VII, whose funeral took place yesterday.

MARINE THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS The fight is over and the 1000 electors of Prince Rupert have given their verdict. It was a great victory for the ticket and evidence of what organization and determination can accomplish. If there is to be a moial taken from the result it is that the people have resented the Bowser administration of Prince Rupert's affairs. His unpopularity here was too much for William Manson to carry. The temperance cause also received a heavy set back. There will be no plebiscite on the question of licenses. As for the personnel of the new council, no criticism can be offered. The Optimist intimated at the time of the nomination that this paper would be satisfied with the people's choice. The people prevail and it is for the aldeimen to now carry out the policy they were elected to support. In this they should have the unanimous support of the people. No policy can be truly tested without concerted action of of the council, and the support of the public. There must, of course, be moie or less criticism of detail, but the first council should have a fair chance to make good their pledges. Mayor-elect Stork is to be congratulated on his splendid victory. He fought a clean fight and although his policy and organization did not meet unanimous approval, the result proves him to be a good fighter and a politician of merit. He to-day occupies a position of much honour, and the Optimist wishes him as much success in working out the civic administration duiing his term of office as he had at the poll. DEATH TO ALL RATS. Among the first uses the new city council should make of the power placed in their hands by the people, is to use strenuous efforts for the extirmination of the rats. One may expect someone zt this point in the reading of this article to exclaim, "Oh, Rats!" in peevish derision. But the subject is not one to joke about; it is one of the most serious import that will come before the council during its civic life. No need to point out to the general reader that the rat has been declared to be the prime distributor of the most deadly deseases, nor to refer to the immense sums spent by other municipalities in efforts at their complete extirmination. At ports in particular, the rodent, being habitually a stowaway passenger on all vessels, is the danger the greatest. Ports of entry need not only to be cleared of the germ- carrying pests, but to be kept cleared, as rats at such places may be expected to arrive from cholera and fever stricken ports where the laws of health are unknown or unenforced at any old time. None of these very important points have been overlooked by the leading people of Prince Rupert who take an active interest in the physical health of the city. The members of the Board of Trade and also the Grand Trunk Pacific Ry. officials have given the subject most serious consideration, and there is no reason to doubt but that the new council will act with promptness in the matter. But this is one of those cases in which official action of itself cannot of itself produce the desired results and provide a complete remedy for the existing evil. The council may take ihe initiative and it is then for every citizen, by concerted action, to follow. Lert us decide, "each and individually for himself and each for the other," as a legal document reads, that all rats within the city limits must and shall be exterminated, and immediately set about doing our share. One of the best bacteriological preparations that has been ODncocted for rat extirmination is said to be thc Danysz Virus. It is not a poison, but contains the germs of it disease to which rats and other mouse-like rodents are susceptible. Among these, the disease so started spreads rapidly and in all cases produces death. There are none of the dangers in the use of the virus as accompany the use of poison f Jr such purposes, as dogs, cats, birds and domestic pets generally are altogether immune from thc disease it produces. Also, there is no inconvenience from the rats dying under the floors, as they would were poison used, because the first action of the virus leads the rodent to leave its haunts and rush for the open, whore it dies. Anyone can purchase this virus from the Orme drug store, and In the best interests of the future prosperity of the city it is hoped that every property holder and house-keeper will at once "��t out to do his share in the important work of killing off the disease-spreading rodents. The Humboldt is due to-morrow, on her way north. The Northern Steamship company's new boat, the Cetriana, is due here Monday on her way to Stewart. The City of Seattle had fifty passengers for Rupert and a big lot of returning Alaskans and Yukoners. The Camosun came in last night, oaded to the gunwales with freight and passengers She landed sixty passengers here and had seventy for Stewart. Steamer Amur landed forty-five passengers here and had a good load for Skagway. She carries sixty-five tons of perishables for the Klondike shut- ins. With three large steamers at the wharves at the same time, there was no much of a holiday in that part of town yesterday.

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS The fight is over and the 1000 electors of Prince Rupert have given their verdict. It was a great victory for the ticket and evidence of what organization and determination can accomplish. If there is to be a moral taken from the result it is that the people have resented the Bowser administration of Prince Rupert's affairs. His unpopularity here was too much for WilKam Manson to carry. The temperance cause also received a heavy set back. There will be no plebiscite on the question of licenses. As for the personnel of the new council, no criticism can be offered. The Optimist intimated at the time of the nomination that this paper would be satisfied with the people's choice. The people prevail and it is for the aldeimen to now carry out the policy they were elected to support. In this they should have the unanimous support of the people. No policy can be truly tested without concerted action of of the council, and the support of the public. There must, of course, be moie or less criticism ot detail, but the first council should have a fair chance to make good their pledges. Mayor-elect Stork is to be congratulated on his splendid victory. He fought a clean fight and although his policy and organization did not meet unanimous approval, the result proves him to be a good fighter and a politician of merit. He to-day occupies a position of much honour, and the Optimist wishes him as much success in working out the civic administration dining his term of office as he had at the poll. DEATH TO ALL RATS. Among the first uses the new city council should make of the power placed in their hands by the people, is to use strenuous efforts for the extirmination of the rats. One may expect someone zt this point in the reading of this article to exclaim, "Oh, Rats!" in peevish derision. But the subject is not one to joke about; it is one of the most serious import that will come before the council during its civic life. No need to point out to the general reader that the rat has been declared to be the prime distributor of the most deadly deseases, nor to refer to the immense sums spent by other municipalities in efforts at their complete extirmination. At ports in particular, the rodent, being habitually a stowaway passenger on all vessels, is the danger the greatest. Ports of entry need not only to be cleared of the germ- carrying pests, but to be kept cleared, as rats at such places may be expected to arrive from cholera and fever stricken ports where the laws of health are unknown or unenforced at any old time. None of these very important points have been overlooked by the leading people of Prince Rupert who take an active interest in the physical health of the city. The members of the Board of Trade and also the Grand Trunk Pacific Ry. officials have given the subject most serious consideration, and there is no reason to doubt but that the new council will act with promptness in the matter. But this is one of those cases in which official action of itself cannot of itself produce the desired results and provide a complete remedy for the existing evil. The council may lake ihe initiative and it is then for every citizen, by concerted action, to follow. Lerl us decide, "each and individually for himself and each for the other," as a legal document reads, thut all rats within the city limits must and shall be exterminated, and immediately set about doing our share. One of the best bacteriological preparations that has been ooncocted for rat extirmination is said to be the Danysz Virus. It is not a poison, but contains the germs of a disease to which rats and other mouse-like rodents are susceptible. Among these, the disease so started spreads rapidly and in all cases produces death. There are none of the dangers in the use of the virus as accompany the use of poison for such purpose-;, as dogs, cats, birds and domestic pets generally are altogether immune from the disease it produces. Also, there is no inconvenience from the rots (lying under the floors, as they would were poison used, because the first action of the virus leads the rodent to leave its haunts and rush for the open, where it dies. Anyone can purchase this virus from the Orme drug store, and in the best interests of the future prosperity of the city it is hoped that every properly holder and house-keeper will at once set out to do his share in the important work of killing off the disease-spreading rodents. MARINE The Humboldt is due to-morrow, on her way north. The Northern Steamship company's new boat, the Cetriana, is due here Monday on her way to Stewart. The City of Seattle had fifty passengers for Rupert and a big lot of returning Alaskans and Yukoners. The Camosun came in last night, oaded to the gunwales with freight and passengers She landed sixty passengers here and had seventy for Stewart. Steamer Amur landed forty-five passengers here and had a good load for Skagway. She carries sixty-five tons of perishables for the Klondike shut- ins. With three large steamers at the wharves at the same time, there was no much of a holiday in that part of town yesterday. All the warehouses are crammed jam full with freight, from two hundred and fifty to three hundred tons having been landed from the vessels. The following were among the passengers who left on the Rupert City at three o'clock yesterday: L. S. Westfall, Wm. Lorimer, G. Bailey, Wm. Eines, J. T. Moore, E. W. Kirkland, Laurel Cooper, Wm. Gorman, Arthur Mislin, H. Atkins, A. Atkins, C. J. Newbury, H. Campbell, E. W. Knapp, C. B. Hopkins, C. W. Amell, A. A. Mcleod, .1. A. Stephenson, H. Rea, W. M. Brewer, B. Houghton, S. O.

BIG MILL FOR STEWART. T. B. Strain, secretary of the Gilfillan Lumber Co., has returned to the city from Stewart, after spending a few days there looking over the situation. Mr. Strain says his company has practically decided to build a large mill at Stewart, and that plans for it are now being prepared. Meanwhile the company will continue to ship lumber from here on scows for the new town CANADIAN GOLD COINS. The head of King George will not appear on the coins or Canadian postage stamps before the end of the year. The likeness of King Edward the Peacemaker will continue on the currency and stamps for another six months at least. In the case of Postage stamps any design may be used, but it is customary to have the monarch's head on the two-cent stamps. The department has a six months supply on hand and these will be used up while dies are being prepared for a new issue of stamps bearing the likeness of King George V. Changing a design of metal currency is also a matter of time. Designs have t o be prepared and approved in both Canada and Great Britain. Where the head of the King appears on a coin his special approval of the portrait has to be obtained. The finance department at Ottawa has for sometime been looking into the question of designs for the new gold coinage of Canada, and on these the head of King George will appear. January 1 will probably be the date of the inaugura tion of Canadian goldc coins. Cravats of Individual. A man's Necktie tells most eloquently of his personality.

Juneau, May 19���James Wickersham, delegate from Alaska and anti- Guggenheim man, announces Wb candidacy for re election in a message from Washington to the Daily Despatch here. His cable reads, "In answer to the insistent demands of my friends in every section of Alaska, and in unalterable opposition to the Beveridge bill and Guggenheim domination in Alaska, I deem it my duty to again be a candidate loir delegate from Alaska." Major Strong, it is believed, will be the candidate of the Democratic party, but if there should develop a strong sentiment that Wickersham should be supported in his fight against the Government, then it is likely Major Strong would withdraw, for although on different sides in politics, they are ot one mind in regard to Alaska's legislative needs.

THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST PORTLAND TIDE FLATS Canadians and Americans in Dispute as to Lands at Mouth of Canal. Up a* the head oi Portland Canal the Alaska boundary dis] ute has pushed its hoary bead above -.he snowbanks, rattled its frosty bones into activity, and to complete the resurrection has plumped itself down in the middle of the tideflats to feast or. a local scuahbie which rr.ay develope into another little game of draw for the international politicians to sit down to. At the last session Uncle ~u~ had what is technically known a- a 'busted flush' observes the Vancouver Province.but he gathered in the pot while Johnny Canuck, looking over John Bull's hand, Mas urging the latter to go the limit. Since the development of the fact that the mineral resources on the Canadian side of the boundary are very rich the town o: Stewart has sprung up a- the headquarters of Canadian activity. Although not invited to the feast many Americans hurried to the point in Alaska nearest to the prosperity banquet and camped, waiting for something to turn up. They started the town of Portland on the Alaska side. The townsite was staked till the face of the earth was as prickly with spines of timber as the back of a porcupine is with quills. When there was no more room for stakes on the land, they were rammed into the mushy bosom of the tideflats on the Alaska side of the line. At the tidewater the boundary line is marked by a monument and a wide scar across the face of the forest glade of a mountain marks the point where Canada and the United States divide jurisdiction. Out in the canal the boundary line is the center of the waterway. Canadians, hungry for tideflats, took a boat and plied the waters of the canal till they were in such a position on the boundary line in its center that they they could look up the gash on the mountainsi de and their location on the water was in line with the path of the great trench among the trees. Then they marked the spot where they were with a buoy and hastened shoreward to the flats which they bespattered with : stakes on what they deemed the Canadian side of the land boundary produced in its compass path till it met the internationally agreed upon line in the ] center of the canal. To the Americans on the spot this looked too much like a division of the flats fronting the Alaska townsite of Portland. They decided that instead of the land boundary line following its compass path out over the water till it met the agreed-on boundary in the center of the canal it swerved ab- ruplly southeastward from the monument on the shore, taking the shortest route from that monument to the center of the canal. By chance it happened that this little rearrangement of the boundary line threw all the flats opposite Port- and townsite into Alaska. The Americans on the ground claim, according to the statements of passengers who arrived in Vancouver last night on the steamer Princess May, that their contention is supported by Washington.

A new flotation in the Portland Canal district, and known as the Keystone Mining Company, Limited, has just been put on the Vancouver market. The claims are on Glacier Creek, and were staked in 1907 by Anhel Jones, who has done the necessary development work on them ever since, and has run an open cut for 150 feet and has shown by stripping, a ledge from 3 to 6 feet wide, which can be traced for several feet across the property. Some assays taken from Keystone ore run as high as $79.16 in gold, silver and lead. These claims were recently taken up by a syndicate of local men, who have now floated a company and have offered a portion of the stock to the public at 15 cents per share. When one takes into consideration the value of the adjacent properties, and the fact that the Keystone claims were staked before the rush to the Portland Canal began, it is a reasonable supposition that systematic development work will prove the undoubted worth of the Keystone claims. The provisional board of directors consists of well known local business men and brokers, and the fiscal brokers of the company are Messrs. Eliot and Bromley. It is the intention of the company to continue development work on this promising property at the earliest possible date.

'After a visit to the Portland Canal district I have come to the conclusion that British Columbia is just entering upon the most legitimate mining movement in its history,' -said Mr. Alexander Miller to The Vancouver Province reporter. Mr. Miller had returned from Stewart, where he awarded | a contract for the construction of the j first plate-glass front office building to be erected in the new town. The i structure will be of two storeys with j a frontage of sixty feet. Mr. Miller is i a well known mining man who has ! operated extensively throughout the ! Kootenays and Boundary. 'Vast supplies for the various mining camps are pouring in by every boat. A few weeks hence will see hundreds of prospectors striking for the? hills as there is a great deal of un- pjospected ground in the district. Apart from the operations of the Mann syndicate which has ninety claims under bond, scores of other propositions will be developed this season. I don't think i am overstating I facts when I assert that there will be work for at least 1000 miners in the I Various camps. 'The new district has the values and ideal conditions for mining. The values are usually high while drilling will cost much less than in the Koot- i enays owing to the softness of the j rock. With the opening of the railway 1 cheap transport ation facilities are assured. The ore is of sufficient grade to stand a much heavier charge than the low transportation rates by water from Stewart to the smelters on Island and at Tacoma. The camp is sure to develop the second largest tonnage in the province. Stewart is quite lively. Building operations are being rushed. Pack outfits are coming in by the score, thus assuring the delivery of supplies at the camps until the railway gets in.' During his stay in the North Mr. Miller bonded a number of propositions. He denied the widely-circulated report that there was much staking of 'snow' claims. 'In the majority of instances where claims were staked on the snow I ascertained that they were relocations by old prospectors who were familiar with the ground and knew that it was vacant.'

The Optimist DELIVERED TO ANY ADDRESS IN SECTIONS 1, 5 AND 6 EVERY DAY FOR 50c PER MONTH THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIM1ST MINING The Dibble Group. Mr James Cronin, a well known mining operator of Spokane, arrived yesterday and is staying at the Grand Trunk Inn. He is en route for the Babine district, where he has been developing the Dibble group, a very promising Mlver-lead proposition. He will go in via the Skeena River to Hazelton, and thence over the trail to the mine.. Mr. Cronin speaks very hopefully, but conservatively about the future of mining in the region tributary to the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. He will not even admit that his property has yet attained the earmarks of a mine and is planning for more extensive development this summer. The values are high in both silver and lead. There are also a large number of claims in the same camp on some of which considerable work has been done. Th Cronin property did not close down (or the winter. The snowfall was very heavy last winter and the approach to the tunnel was through a snow tunnel nearly 400 feet long. EMPIRE DAY SHOOT. VANCOUVER'S MEMORIAL.

Mr. Moore is timber inspector for the district between Stewart and Queen Charlotte Islands, and is in the town every little while. This is the second fast patrol launch for the use of the Department of Lands in preventing the infraction of the British Columbia Timber Manufacturers Act. The purchase was made by Chief Commissioner Hon. Price Ellison and the price paid was $3,700. The new boat will be in charge of Inspector Moore. It is 40 feet long, 10 feet beam and 4 feet draft, and is very comfortably equipped and well suited for the work for which she is intended. Mr. Moore will be on the lookout at all times for those who are not abiding by the Timber Act, and he is now in a position to catch the best of them.

HYDRAULICS IN OLD CARIBOO. A big hydraulic plant is being installed on placer ground on the north fork of the Quesnel river,near Spanish creek, Cariboo district by J. B. Hobson, the veteran mining editor of Victoria. He expects to have the plant going in full blast long before the end of the season. The concession comprises about 240 acres. There is an excellent water supply. The ground is estimated to run five cents in gold per cubic yard. Ninety men will be employed. Mr. Hobson has established a store at Quesnel dam, on the south fork of Quesnel river. He has also placed a yacht and small boats on the lake for the convenience of visitors. The lake is one hundred miles long, with one arm forty miles in length. Mr. Hobson has been engaged in hydraulic and placer mining operations for forty-five years, twenty of which were spent in Cariboo district. On the old Cariboo concession he took out over $2,500,000 in bullion. His early mining experience was gained in California. H. W. Dubois, of Philadelphia, is installing a $200,000 hydraulic plant on Twenty Mile creek, below the forks of Quesnel river. The plant will not be in shape to handle ground this season. The water will be conveyed to the concession in a fifteen mile ditch now being excavated. England Short of Farm Hands.

The other candidates who were called on during the evening, and failed to respond, were Messrs. Morrisey, Arnott and Douglas. Mr. Morrow responded. He said he had to admit that he did not get enough votes but had the consolation of feeling that while the victors were working he should be spending quiet evening at his home or at the club. H. H. Clarke said he would have liked to have seen Mr. Naden elected, but for himself he felt just as happy in defeat because he could now go home evenings and attend to his own business. Alderman V. W. Smith was pleased the election was over and the axe buried, and that there would be no more antagonistic feelings between Mr. Stork and the gentlemen on the opposition ticket. Alderman M. M. Stephens told his audience that if they felt as tired as he did, they would be in bed. They had fought a good fight and were good winners. He only led Mr Naden by five votes, and a recount might change the situation. It was not his intention to stand again for municipal office in Prince Rupert, as he could hardly afford more than seven months of office. Sailings for the Week.

Preston a well known character who was shipped out of town some time ago, blew back a few days ago and now stands a good chance of getting a free passage south again. Preston is the man who leased land from G. W. Kerr and permitted blind pigs and disorderly conduct in the houses he had erected on them. Kerr had the lease cancelled by the courts and the houses were seized by the sheriff and sold. Preston has been sore ever since and Thursday he got drunk and went to Kerr's home and made a disturbance. He broke in the front door and drove Mrs. Kerr and Mrs. Thomas out into the street and made things lively in the house, breaking furniture etc. Hamblin, a neighbor, came to the rescue and after a tussle got the better of Preston and forced him to leave. Later in the day a warrant was issued and Preston was placed under arrest. He will have a hearing Saturday morning at 10 o'clock POLICE COURT Felix Brown the Indian, charged with being drunk was fined $20. or 30 days. He is doing time. Jos. Robinson, an Indian from Port Essington, was brought over by Constable McDonald yesterday. He was charged with having liquor in his possession and was fined $25 and costs, or two months. He took the Government job. The general public of the United States are gone plum crazy on motor cars. They are spending a million a day buying them.

THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST FIRST ELECTION IN RUPERT Public Interest Was Keen���Demonstration and Procession. The first municipal elections of Prince Rupert are over and the five thousand people who have been here during the campaign will in future years look back upon the contest as one of the events of their lives. The fight was in real earnest and it was real warm. No political contest could have developed more general interest and enthusiasm. At the same time the best of good feeling existed between the contending candi dates. There were some personal criticisms and some mud slinging, but that has now been forgottem and only the pleasures of the fight remembered. All day Thursday the workers were on the jump. An automobile arrived on the Rupert City from Vancouver for Mr. Manson's party. Wagons and the one hack were used to bring out the vote, although the majority took "shanks mare" for it. There were something over 1200 votes on the list and 1006 cast their ballots. This is a remarkable vote and shows the universal interest taken in the contest by the people. All day long a big crowd stood in front of the Government buildings where the vote was recorded, and another crowd was coming and going continuously. Inside the building four polling booths were arranged and the officers handled the voters very successfully and without delay. Returning officer A. Cuthbert made splendid provision for all and he particularly looked after his officials. At five o'clock the polls were closed, and the doors locked. On the inside were most of the candidates and they watched the counting of the ballots with almost breathless interest. It did not take long, however, to discover that the election had been in favour of Mr. Stork. The ballots from first to last would indicate the same thing and in all four booths he took a small majority. Mr. Stork and his friends were in the best of spirits and were congratulating each other before the count was half finished, and soon afterward it was generally conceded inside the booth and on the street that Fred Stork was the successful candidate. Mr. Manson was by no means disconcerted. He remitted with Ihe crowd until the last and took his defeat like the man that he is. He was one of the first to acknowledge the people's choice. As soon as the result of the mayoralty contest was known, Mr. Stork's friends on the Htreet made a demonstration which was kept up until late in the night, and after the ballots for the aldermen were counted, a torch light procession was formed and paraded some of the principal streets. Mayor elect Stork and the successful aldermen were crowded into the hack, and were followed by two wagon loads of cheering enthusiasts, and many on foot with burning brooms. After the procession the successful candidates and some of the unsuccessful met in the Empress theatre to tell the people all about it. Declaration of Office. The Mayor-elect and the returning officer decided on Saturday May 21st, as the day for the successful candidates to take their declaration of office. After that proceeding, a meeting of the council will be held and the organization of the municipality taken up. No time will be lost in getting down to work. There is a big pile of wood to saw and the first mayor and aldermen will have no spare time for pleasure during the next seven months. OFFICIAL RESULT.
