Saturday, October 22. li CRIPPEN SENTENCED TO DEATH IChain of Circumstantial Evidence Too Strong To Be Broken By the Defence and Jury Had Little Difficulty in Arriving at a Verdict of Guilty of Murder. (Special to the Optimist) London, Oct. 22-"Crippen has been Isentenced to death." This phrase I passed from mouth to mouth among I the great crowd that surrounded the 1 Bailey court room this morning, I ind in a few moments the newsboys I were yelling "extra" and selling re- I views of the sensational case, with I pictures of the accused and others of I the last scenes of the momentous trial. The verdict of the jury came as a I surprise, although those who had been I privileged to watch the case since its I commencement, could not fail to be impressed with the strong case that was being made for the crown. The counsel for the defence depended entirely upon the address to the jury, in which Scotland Yard and its methods were severely criticized and sometimes ridiculed: and the strong point made that the remains at the Crippen house at Hilldrop had never been identified. This matter of the lack of identification was made one of the strongest points. The judge summed up coldly and deliberately, but not to any unwonted length although he did draw attention to the importance of the case and the necessity of the jury keeping to the evidence and not being swayed by the excitement so long continued in the minds of the general public. The jury then retired, and a high state of tension was manifest until they returned to the court room. The verdict was handed to the judge in a sealed envelope, and before it was an nounced the recorder of the court placed a small patch of black on the wig of the judge. The latter then announced the verdict, and solemnly uttered the sentence of death.

R. Grade Damaged���Telegraph Line Dead. News of wrecks and damages caused by the big storm and high tide of Wednesday are just beginning to float down with the debris. It was the greatest flood of the lower Skeena since white men have lived here, and those who experienced its terrors want no more. Port Essington, the late metropolis, was almost inundated. Families were driven from their homes and the streets are today hopelessly litteed with wreckage and driftwood. The big wind of Wednesday was from the west, which is quite an irregular place for the big winds to hail from and the high tide coming at the same time filled' the lower Skeena with more salt chuck than has been between its cliffs for many a day. At Port Essington houses were carried tway, boat houses disappeared, boats floated up on the streets, wharves were damaged, sidewalks were ripped up and tree trunks four feet through were piled up on the streets. Part of Mr. Fred Rudge's dwelling was carried away while he was in the house; Peter Pollard had to move out in order to save his life. His home is no more; two others are gone; 150 feet of s'dewalk at the B. C. cannery was carried away and the Cunningham property also suffered much damage. Along the other side of the river much damage was done to the railway grade and the bridges. At Kayex river a boom of logs was piled up on the grade. The Government telegraph line was put out of business in a dozen places and has since been dead. No news whatever is coming through.

Price, Five Cents SCHOOL LIVE INTEREST IN technical education for PRINCE RUPERT'S BOYS Hon. Wm. Templeman Is Asked to Extend Board's Invitation to Dominion Commission on This Subject to Meet in This City. -~~~X Optimist Products One of our small contemporaries finds fault because the Optimist claims to have specialists in charge of the various departments of its plant. The* complaint comes from a two-man shop. Just to impress the point we repeat that the Optimist has more plant, stock and material than any other shop in the north. It has the largest staff, the highest paid printers, a pay roll that is half as large again as the total wage list of all other printing shops in the city; it produces more work than all other printing plants in the city combined. The quality of its product is unsurpassed by any shop on the coast, and the Optimist newspaper is admitted to be typographically the the best printed paper in the province*. Optimist products have the imprint of a community of brains. Its superiority leaves it without a rival locally. t��� At a recent meeting of the School Board of Prince Rupert, D. G. Stewart drew attention to the fact that the Commission on Technical Education appointed by the Dominion Government would be visiting several points in British Columbia during the months of November and December. He suggested that the Board should send an invitation to the commissioners to hold at least one sitting at Prince Rupert. This suggestion met with a favorable reception by the Board, and the secretary was instructed to write to the Hon. Wm. Templeman and ask him to extend on behalf of the Board their invitation to the commissioners to come to Prince Rupert. This subject of technical education is a live one, and is receiving growing attention now in many parts of the Dominion. The Dominion Government have taken the matter up under theit Trade and Commerce department, and have secured the co-operation of the Provincial Governemnt. The importance to the boys and growing lads of the rising cities of Canada, of having the opportuntiy given them of perfecting their knowledge of technical matters, and gaining a practical insight into the details and principles of their calling as early as possible, cannot be over emphasized. Upon the basis of early technical training of their boys is being built up the commercial and industrial prosperity of the go-ahead nations of the world today, and Canada will not be a lag-last in this department of national progress. Certainly Prince Rupert, with that splendid industrial and commercial future in front of her which is brought nearer by every rail laid hour by hour on the transcontinental railway, will not let slip any opportunity of keeping right in line with the march of progress, and just a little bit ahead. The step taken by the Prince Rupert School Board is a live one and^ar-seeing. The boys for whose benefit it is taken today will be the men of the Prince Rupert of tomorrow���that city of ringing railway yards, and clanging engine shops, of busy wharves with thronging workmen and clattering derricks, hurrying day and night to cope with the ever increasing commerce of the seas��� the city of our devise, our aim, our certainty. ��� Kaien Island Dance The first of a series of club dances was held in the gymnasium of the Kaien Island club last evening and proved a delightful affair. The function was only for club members and the popularity of the affair was most encouraging to the committee. Over one hundred were in attendance and the floor was in splendid condition. The music, too, was excellent and very favorably commented on. Refreshments were served during the evening The dance broke up about 1 a.m., and the pleasant recollections of it will doubtless result in many more club evenings during the season. To the committee in charge of the affair much credit is due. The members of it are: A. George, Fred Stork, A. J. Morris, G. A. Sweet, R. Harrup, A. E. McMaster and F. G. Dawson. ICAL MAN WINS IN WILL BATTLE AT HYPNOTIC EXHIBITION LAST NIGHT Exciting Contest and Interesting Display of Mesmeric Science. Rock Shattered on Professor's Body Under Will Power of Citizen. There was a hypnotic entertainment in Prince Rupert last night, one of the incidents of which stood out head and should rs above the rest of the show, not that the rest of the show was by any means uninterest ng, but merely because the incident in question was in the natu e of a contest. It was a figgt���a battle of wills, and he boys enjoyed it as well as if it had been a boxing match. It happened suddenly and as a sur- p ice. The professor had been going through some hypnotic expe iments with "subjects" vounteered by the audience. The inevitable funny man had g t on the stage and refusing to submit o the hypnotic influence fai ly, had put in som- comical stunts of his own so effectively that he was gently requested to retire as giggles disturb hypnotic experiments in tha early stages. There had been an interval pleasingly filled by the moving picture show. Then, lest there might be any feeling of scepticism in the audience, Professor Hoyle announced his readiness to meet any one willing to investigate the subject scientifically right there before the whole audience. There was a momentary pause, Then the deep voice of a gentleman well- known in Prince Rupert spoke from the rear of the theatre. "On purely scientific grounds?" he asked. ( The Professor assented, and the gentleman strode forward down the aisle. A whisper ran round the audience, "Gee!" said someone, "It's Archer. He's keen on hypnotism. Now, we're going to see something!" A moment more and the men were facing each other on the stage. They looked each other between the eyes like duellists, sizing each other up. They agreed to fight fair each with the weapon of his will power, clasped hands for a second to seal the bargain, and met in determined conflict. First it seemed as if the Professor were gaining the upper hand. Then again the local man seemed to have it. The contestants gripped hands, and broke apart again. The Professor fanned his brow with his handkerchief. The local man seemed undisturbed. Again they returned to the conflict. Archer's eyes gleamed. The Professor staggered back. "Do you admit that mine is the strong- e will?" demanded his opponent. "Not yet!" was the reply, and once more they met eye to eye. Then at last the Professor wavered. "Enough!" he said and agreed to submit to h's opponent's will, and to give him all the assistance in -his power. $*ith a few rapid passes Archer put the Professor under the hypnotic influence, and he became rigid as a bar of steel. With the help of two men he was placed across the backs of two chairs. A rug was flung across his middle, and a-huge slab of rock torn by the force of dynamite out of the ribs of Prince Rupert was placed upon his body. Then Archer produced a sledge hammer.

GUSTAVE BERGER Pub. Sept. 7. John Dybhavn, Agent SCOTSMAN WHO WOULD BE KING OF COCOS ISLANDS John Sidney Clunies-Ross, is a figure as strangely romantic as was ever pictured i y writers of the most lurid fiction. He is a well educated and wealthy gentleman, descended on one side from an aristrocratic Scotch family and on ^he other from Royal Maylay blood; but at home, in the Cocos Islands, he is monarch of all he surveys and he surveys a good deal. Mr. Clunies-Ross, whose father died a month or two ago, is the fourth of his name to rule over the little group of coral islands in the Indian Ocean. The story of his family is that of a man who would be King who lived nearly one hundred years ago. The original Clunies-Ross bore the same name as his great-grandson. He was born in the Shetland islands whither his family had fled, proscribed, after the failure of the Jacobite risingup in the early eighteenth century. It was adventurous fighting blood that warmed young John's veins and the Shetland islands were a narrow home for him so he obeyed the call of the sea and fared forth to make for fortune, which he did in an extraordianry manner. In the course of his roving he fell in with one Alexander Hare, a dissolute, imaginative, not over honest man, who had come under the spell of the East to the extent of adopting most of its vices. He was in disgrace with his emp overs and found a change of residence imperative. In Clunies-Ross he met a man as daring as himself, though honorable and straight-living. He proposed that the pair of them should seek out an uninhabited group of islands and live thereon like Oriental potentates. The young Scotchman liked the idea, and the two proceeded to the Cocos islands, 500 miles from other land, and established themselves, together with about 100 others. Hare took a harem along with him and prepared to spend his days in riotous living; Clunies-Ross took his lawful family, was satisfied with the primitive life, and looked about for a chance to trade. He tried spices and coffee and failed. Then he pitched on cocoanuts as his best investment, and planted great groves of the trees. While thLy were growing he traded as best he could, and a good many Malays, with a few whites, were attracted to the islands. Hare tried to enslave the darker portion of the population with such ill-success that he was forced to leave the island. He went to Singapore where he died not long afterwards, deserted by his harem and "courtiers." The cocoanuts grew and Clunies- Ross began to make money out of the oil and various other products of Ross was recognized and welcomed the trees. Trade prospered in other directions also, and the island attracted more inhabitants. The rule of Ross was recognized and welcomed. He was just and kind and withal canny in matters of trading. Then John having ruled twenty- seven years, died in 1584. He was succeeded by John George, his son. In his time the territory was claimed under British protection, but the change was merely nominal. Nobody inter- ferred with the absolute rule of John George. He further strengthened his position by marrying a Malay woman of royal blood and fine character. Together they developed the island and saw justice done. The chief's six sons were all educated in Scotland for the cocoanuts were bringing in a tidy sum. George was the eldest son, and he studied engineering that his islands might have the benefit of his skill. When he succeeded his father he devoted himself not only to carrying on trade but in perfecting the native arts. He in turn married a native woman, who proved as worthy a helpmate as the wife og John George. The islands suffered from cyclones but the skill of the chief repaired all damages, and soon the place was as propserous as ever. The inhabitants even attempted, but unsuccessfully, to colonize another island, 500 miles away. The island was unfortunately rich, and so many white men were attracted to the place that the colonists gave up in disgust and returned to their peaceful home. Like his forebears George Culnies- Ross had many sons, all educated in England. He was in England with them when he died, in June of this year. His son, John Sidney succeeded to the kingship or whatever it may be called, and the property. There has been trouble in England over probating the will because there is no legal machinery for doing such things in the Cocos islands, but this little difficulty does not affect the status of John Sidney. The islanders, who number about 700, are satisfied with the justice of the Clunies-Ross dynasty, and have no desire to invite a change of government. There are neither soldiers nor police on the Cocos islands. The natives live at peace with one another, and with the great spirit they believe in. They have plenty of this world's goods��� plenty, that is, for simple healthy wants. All things considered there are much worse places to live in than this little group with its romantic history, and the king says he will be glad to be home again. Try the Sunday dinner at the Savoy.

Agent STANLEY KETCHELL'S DEATH MAKES PAPKE CHAMPION The death of Stanley Ketchell and the passing away of this famous exponent of the fistic art, now gives Billy Papke, the Illinois Thunderbolt, the undisputed right to the misddleweight championhip. The passing of the "Bengal" will also seriously affect the plans of Hugh McIntosh, who had matched the deceased against Tom Thomas, and a number of the pick of England's fighters. Of all American fighters who stepped through the ropes and performed in the squared circle, Ketchell, through his gameness, ability and clever work won the hearts of the fight fans of the entire western hemisphere. A fighter by nature, a cool-headed, daring two-handed mixer, Ketchell took a chance that few men of his size cared to take, when one year ago today he met the terrible Jack Johnson and was defeated by the Galveston black in twelve rounds at the Colma arena, San Francisco. Ketchell did something that few other fighters did with the black man, he put the big ebony champion on the floor in the twelfth round of this affair. But Ketchell was too small to go long with the big fellow, and Johnson ended Ketchell's championship aspiration by putting him to sleep. Ever since that battle Ketchell has been deteriorating, and though he failed to gain the heavyweight title and wrest the championship from the son of Ham, he was able to retain the middleweight belt. Ketchell was still a young man, and at the time of his death was but twenty- three years and two months of age. He was born September 14, 1887, at Grand Rapids, Michigan. His right name was Stanislaus Kiechal, and his nationality a Polish-American, his father being a Pole by birth. Ketchell began fighting when but sixteen years of age, and the first affair in which he figured, of which any known record is maintained, was at Butte, Mont., where he knocked out Kid Tracy in one round For several years the future champion fought around Butte, Helena, Miles City and various Montana towns. His first fight in California occurred March 23, 1906, when he fought Mike McClure at Redding. Ketchell's first fight of any prominence occurred in Marysville, California, July 4, 1907, when he went twenty rounds to a draw with Joe Thomas, the welter weight champion of that time. Ketchell met Thomas, Sept. 2, of,the same year in San Francisco, and gained the championship by putting Thomas out in twenty rounds. He met Thomas once more in the Golden Gate city and won on a decision in twenty rounds. Taking on weight Ketchell began meeting such men as the Twins Sullivan, Billy Papke and Hugo Kelly. He made a fool of Mike Twin by hanging a stiff one on the baldheaded fighter in one round at Colma, Feb. 22. 1908, and disposed of the other twin, Jack, in the same fashion, in twenty rounds at the Colma arena, May 9, of the same year. On June 4, of the same year, Ketchell won on a decision from the Illinois Thunderbolt, ��� Papke, in ten rounds at Milwaukee, and knocked out Hugo Kelly, July 31, at the Mission street arena, San Francisco, after a short battle of three rounds. Ketchell met his first defeat on Labor Day of the same year, at Los Angeles, when Billy Papke put a sleep-producing one over on the Michigander's jaw in twelve rounds. A few months after this affair Ketchell retaliated, when , on Nov. 26 of the same year, he put the Illinois Thunderbolt out on the canvas in eleven rounds. In the following year, Ketchell won fame and distinction by nearly murdering "Jack the Confessor" O'Brien, when he met the self-proclaimed heavyweight champion of the world in a limited affair in New York City. Only the bell in the tenth round saved O'Brien from the count, as the "con-' fessor" was down on his hands and knees when the affair stopped. Only July 5, of last year, Ketchell established his right to the middleweight title by defeating Billy Papke in a tv, ��� nty-round affair at Colma. Confident, because of his long string of victories, that he could do away with the Galveston black, Johnson, Ketchell met the present heavyweight at Colma, one year ago today. The result is known to all. Ketchell, catching the big fellow off his guard, put one over that made the black go to the canvas, but Johnson, rising up, finished Ketchell. Since that time Ketchell has been going down the toboggan at a rapid pace according to current rumors, and it is understood that he intended retiring from the ring and entering the vaudeville stage as a means of making a livelihood. It is known that he was recently fo ced to go back to his home to recuperate because of a physical breakdowTi he suffered in New York, and it is thought that the terrible beating administered him by Johnson, combined with the fast life he has been reputed to have been living, has caused this breakdown. But the fact remains that Ketchell was a fighter in every sense of the word, a ripping, slashing two-handed pugilist who feared nothing, and who went into every fight with the intention of winning. There was nothing crooked about the man and though he made the fatal mistake of tackling the giant black, it must be said that he had no yellow streak such as other fighters of the present day and every fight won by Stanley Ketchell was won simply through great fighting ability.

Saturday. Oct. 22 ANNOUNCEMENT Since the recent change in the ownership of this journal our contemporary, the Empire, has devoted two leading articles o an attempted exposition of the personnel of the shareholders and of their relation to the public. We take it as a certain compliment that our contempora y deems us so interesti g a matter icr discussion, but we wish to frankly ask the editor of the Empire to refrain from stating or insinuating as truth that which is not fact. We are quite prepared to be charitable and to credit the Empire with no malevolence, but at the same time the fact remains that the articles of the 19th and 21st were almost devoid of accuracy in so far as they related to this paper. We repeat, we desire to be charitable; nay, more, we go further and we would say that we believe there is room for all the newspapers in this city, and we have a disposition to quarrel with none of them. With the venom that may have been passed between the two journals in the past we have nothing to do. A part of it may have been personal but whatever it was it is past and we shall not willingly continue it. It is our desire to be good natured; to be a prophet of good in this city and in the land; to stand or everything that may go to make the West wholesome, happy and prosperous. As far as relates to city affairs we shal do our utmost to back every enterprise, and every undertaking, and every policy that seems to us advantageous to the community, and we hold ourselves in readiness to stand by every individual no matter who, who seems to us to be fighting for a sane and honest principle. With the present city council we have emphatically no alliance. Neither Mayor Stork, nor Alderman Pattullo, nor Alderman Hilditch, nor Alderman Mclntyre, nor Alderman Naden, nor Alderman Mobley, nor Alderman Lynch, nor Alderman Smith, nor Alderman Barrow need count upon the unwavering support of these columns. Perhaps they do not want it. Be that as it may, we shall not ask them but from day to day we shall criticise or approve according to the light that is ours. We believe firmly that it is a curse to have politics in civic matters. If the present municipal council have introduced party politics, they have betrayed their trust and subverted the right principles of municipal government. We do not agree that M. M. Stephens and H. H. Clarke were knifed by Liberals. Our recollection is that.except the top two and the bottom two, the aldermen ran failry well in a bunch. Someone had to be beaten. Naden and Stephens had a neck and neck race of it; Clarke was away and took very little part of a campaign where the electorate was entirely new. We see no political significance in their defeat whatever. But that, too, is past, and we would simply say now that we believe firmly in forgetting party politics in municipal affairs. The responsibility for forgetting is upon the outstanding men on both sides; on both sides and not on one side for if one side will not forget the other side must remember. With regard to the politics of this paper, perhaps the majority of the shareholders may decide to employ an editor of Conservative leanings; perhaps the opposite; or perhaps the editor may be one of the increasing number of those modern individuals who believe that inalienable adherence to party is a mistake and pernicious. Time will show our views, and as issues from time to time arise we trust our editorial brains will find for us a clear, broad, progressive view for which to stand. The brains may change; they may err; but .we trust our errors may be forgiven. We shall try to keep our temper sweet, our purpose honest and our vision clear. Finally, we do not think that anything is gained by vindictive-editors tossing splenetic ink at each other. We do not think the public find it interesting, and we think our columns can be filled to better advantage. We wish our brothers in the fraternity very well. AMENDMENTS TO MINING ACT It will be noticed that our member of parliament, Minister Templeman, is announced to introduce a bill in the coming session of parlaiment for the better protection of mine workers. The scope of the bill is believed to be practically confined to safeguards in the handling of explosives, but it undoubtedly will or should embrace all possible-safeguards to human life as well. A correspondent points out that our member has possibly in view the great mines of the south of the province, yet that it will not be very long before the largest producing mines will be in the north and that they also should be taken into consideration. In this connection he draws attention to the superiority of telephones in deep workings as a means of giving warnings on emergency and thus acting as a valuable life saver. Telephone men say that within the next ten years every mine of importance will be equipped with intercommunicating systems. Following the disaster at Cherry, the Illinois legislature passed a law requiring the installation of telephone systems in mines as a life-saving, precautionary measure, and the value of the law has been such that other states and mine owners are likely to fall in line. Ten years ago some mine owners did put in telephone systems, but they speedily were proved useless on account of the atmospheric conditions, the dampness, the gases and the corrosive acids let loose by blasting and digging. These bit into the wires and the phones and put the lines out of commission in a comparatively short time. After that little effort was made for several years to rig up any communicating system other than speaking tubes. The apparatus manufacturers were too busy meeting the demands of the above ground fields to study the need of mines, and not until within the last year has there been any special effort to contrive apparatus that would overcome the difficulties. It is now believed that the former defects of a telephone system for mines has been remedied. Read The Optimist ARE YOU IN NEED OF HELP ? Do you waat to buy, or sell, or hire, or loan?

There has been a flood of destructive criticism poured on our city council. Fair criticism they cannot but welcome but away with the spiteful personalities which have prevailed and let the policy of criticism be a constructive one.

Three carloads of beer at Sutherland & Maynard's warehouse. There's a carload of Schlitz, a carload of Silver Sprin . nd a carload of Old German Lager. The three leading bee s on the market today put up in quarts and pints at the lowest po.sible prices and ready for prompt delivery." Schlitz beer is acknowledged everywhere now to be the most popular for family consumption, and the fame of Silver Spring and the Od German Lager stocked by Sutherland & Maynard is equally great for general use. Supposing the advent of Jack Frost does produce a water famine in Prince Rupert as alarmisits have been heard to hint may ha pen, this firm has taken precautions in plenty to prevent your having to go thirsty. Three carloads of beer! Just think of it! Sutherland & Maynard's stock of beer is kept in their new warehouse on Fraser street ready for delivery at all times in quantities for family use. The beer is kept at an even temperature, and in prime condition for consupmtion. This fine warehouse is now the best adapted for its purpose in Northern British Columbia and Sutherland & Maynard will see to it that the stock is always kept full and in fine condition as at present. Besides this recent consignment of beer, Sutherland & Maynard have on hand an excellent stock of all kinds of wines, liquors and spirits. Their aim is to cater for high class and discriminating tastes in liquors, and their stock will be found to contain the very best in every department of the trade.

Tingley, Agent BUYING SEATS FOR NEXT YEAR STRUGGLE TO SEE CORONATION PARADE Americans Already Paying as High as Fifty Dollars for Seats Along Route of Pageant���Great Exhibition of British Industries. London, Oct. 18.���Although no announcement has been made of the official route of next June's coronation procession, from reliable sources comes information that the pageant will take the following course: From Buckingham Palace by way of the Mall, the new Trafalgar arch, through the Strand and Fleet Street to Ludgate Circus, thence to Blackfriars Bridge, returning to the Victoria Embankment and Westminster Abbey, where the ceremony will be held. South London, is making a strong claim for a share in the procession, but the route is not likely to be altered, as the King, it is understood, desires it to be as brief as possible. Agents are already booking seats a- long the Strand and Fleet Street. Orders for good positions are pouring in, and some seats have already been sold for $50 apiece. Office rents along the route have jumped amazingly, and several new buildings are being rushed to completion. Needless to say, it is not the Britisher upon whom these enterprising agents depend for emormous prices, and many homeward bound Amerivans arranged for seats before sailing. Orders are coming from every branch of the Empire, New Zealand, Australia, India, and South Africa being represented among the orders received by one agent. A big feature of .the coronation will be the monster exhibition showing the growth of England and her colonies during King Edward's reign. Her peoples and their handiwork will be shown and the exhibition is planned to demonstrate the power and infinite resources of the British Empire. "THE CANADIAN SEA"' Name of Hudson Bay to B��j_ Changed for Better Title Ottawa, Oct. 16.���There is a prospect that the name of Hudson Bay will be changed for something more appropriate. Obviously the present name is not appropriate for it is not a bay at all, but a sea, and the third largest sea at that. A few of the Western papers have united in calling it the "Canadian Mediterranean." Others regard this as cumbersome and lacking in initiative and suggest that the title given it some years ago by Mr. W. F. McLean, M. P., "The Canadian Sea," is much more suitable, more dignified, and more distinctive. Now that all danger of its passing from the exclusive control of Candaa has been removed by the recent decision at The Hague, and an era of prosperity seems to be dawning for these northern waters, the time may be opportune to dignify it by the name "The Canadian Sea."

STATION TO BE NEAR RUPERT NEW PACIFIC WHALING COMPANY'S PLANS One Station to Be at Mouth of Mackenzie River and the Other at a Point Adjacent to Prince Rupert ���Five New Steamers The Pacific Whaling Company, when D. D. Mann and associates take it over, is to invade the Arctic ocean. A whaling station similar to that at Kyuquot is to be built at the mouth of the Mackenzie river, says the Colonist, and two of the five new whaling steamers being built at Christiana, Norway, are to steam to the Arctic to make their base at the new Mackenzie river station. The three others will be added to the fleet of five already engaged from the British Columbia whaling stations, to which another will be added. This will be located in the vicinity of Prince Rupert. The whaling in the Arctic has heretofore been carried on by San Francisco whalers, outfitted for cruises lasting several years, and the sending of the two steam whalers to work from a shore station will make a new departure in the Arctic ocean whaling industry. The five steam whalers being constructed by the Norwegian builders will not be sent out in sections as was the steamer William Grant, the last vessel brought from Norway. The fleet will be completed in Norway and will steam around South America by way of the Strait of Magellan to Victoria. Three will start first in a small fleet, coming out together, and the two others, built for the work in the Arctic, will come out at a later date. When the new stations near Prince Rupert and at the mouth of the Mackenzie river have been established, the company will have five whaling stations, from each one of which two steam whalers will, be operated. On the west coast of Vancouver Island are two stations at Sechart and Kyuquot, and a third station is on Kunghit Is. land, southernmost of the Queen Charlotte group. The Prince Rupert and Mackenzie river stations are to be located in the spring and it is expected the work in the Arctic will commence next summer. The Saving Habit is the foundation of Independence.

Fulton St. and Sixth Ave. EARLY WORK OF NEXT SESSION MINISTER TEMPLEMAN TO INTRODUCE A BILL New Banking Act to Be Brought Forward���Programme of Proposed Legislation Probably Not as Heavy as Previous Session. Ottawa, Oct. 18.���At a meeting of the cabinet it was decided to summon the Dominion parliament to meet for despatch of beuiness on Thursday, November 17. This will be four weeks of work before Christmas holidays, or sufficient time to clear off preliminary business, organize committees and get everything in complete running order. The estimates are at present in course of preparation in all departments and it is anticipated that Hon. W. S. Fielding will be able to lay the main estimates and public accounts on the table shortly after parliament opens. This will give the house something to do from the start. So far as one can judge at the present time, the legislative program is not likely to be as heavy as it was last session when the naval, insurance and anti- gambling bills in themselves constituted a heavy sessional program which compelled the house to leave over a number of bills until this session, including a bill to revise the banking act. This legislation which provides for a regular decennial revision of the banking laws, was not actually introduced so that the intention of the government was not revealed. It is probable that when it is introduced this session it will be found to provide for some measure of government inspection of banking institutions. Hon. Mr. Templeman will have for consideration of the house a bill to provide safeguards in connection with the manufacture of explosives. This matter has become important, owing to the large nujmber of serious calamities which have occurred as' a result of explosions in factories where powder, and other high explosives are manufactured. Other government legislation promises to be light. Georgetown Sawmill Co. Ltd. Lumber and Mouldings A large stock of dry finishing lumber on hand. Boat lumber a specialty.

The Optimist is in receipt of an advance copy of what is a first shot in a peat campaign of publicity the Grand Trunk Pacific has started for the purpose of drawing attention to the scenic superiority of its transatlantic route. It is a small affair, a mere brochure of some forty well-illustrated pages; but the artistic excellence in which it is carried out, makes it not so much a ���Je shot as a charge of forensic artillery and cavalry supported by a strong infantry of pictorial fact. Distributed as this first pamplhet fill be among the leisure class of the civilized world it will prove a startler. For generations the aristocratic youth of the Old World were sent on "le grand tour" as a finish to their education. Gradually it became a fashion to travel; later it grew to a passion. But in this generation the passion has developed into a craze to get away from the beaten paths of Continental Europe and to be able to boast of having traversed the remotest corners of the earth and its trackless wilds, This modest brochure shows them a country so absolutely new they may be the first to brush the dew of the dawn of Creation from it. The prate has been of visiting countries interesting for their ruined records of a bygone civilization; this shows them a section of a populous continent where they can look upon the earth as it lay at the sources ol Time, with a history antedating the most primeval records of civilization written on its massive rocks. There" is little doubt this will serve to startle tourist travel in this new direction. Furthermore it is one of many such attractive publications the Grand Trunk Pacific has in view for the effecting of the same purpose. The Optimist published at the time the starting out of the Charlton exploration party last July, for a trip from Edmonton to Prince Rupert, the party consisting of talented writers, artists and photographers. Mr. Charlton, general advertising agent of the company, turned back at Tete Jaune Cache, and this pamphlet has been produced since. Mr. Lett, colonization agent, Home Russell, the artist, Fred Talbot the English magazine writer and others completed the trip to this city as has been told in these columns. So this little book is the first of a series bound to turn the tourist travel in this direction and incidentally assist in the building up ��� of Prince Rupert. Tete Jaune Cache, the locality of which this treats, is on this side of the Rockies, and it is officially stated in the book that it ia expected steel will reach Yellowstone Pass near the close of this year, so that while the railway will not be completed next summer it is reasonable to presume conveniences will be provided for these wealthy tourists to reach the end of steel being laid out of Prince Rupert and continue their tour from this por' of growing fame.

Proprietors ss^ii^iM��� "~B The frontispiece of the booklet is a view of Mount Robson, a bare triangular pinnacle of rock with a smooth face that gives it the appearance of a mighty Sphynx pushed up through the surrounding mountains. In the immediate foreground at the foot of these mountains are falls higher than Niagara and more picturesquely beautiful. Another view is called "The Valley of a Thousand Falls," and in describing this the Rev. C. B. R. Kinney, of the Alpine Club of Canada, writes: "Following the trail of the beaver and goat^and cariboo above the lake, and climbimg the huge terminal moraine of an ancient glacier through which the river had ploughed its mad way, I came to that most enchanting spot that I named by right of discovery "The Valley of a Thousand Falls." A great wall of perpendicular cliffs, thousands of feet high, hem the valley in on every side. Here and there on sheltered ledges patches of spruce relieve, with their dark greens, the greys of the rocks; while everywhere the numerous streams from the great glaciers all around plunge over the high precipices in countless falls of spray. A mighty tongue of ice lolls over a cliff at the head of the valley and curves so low as to reach the valley floor; while here and there in the bottom of the valley are huge spring? from which flow full- fledged streams. A high up glacier on the west has such a large field of snow at its source and flows down so steep an in line, that huge chunks of ice are constantly breaking off its precipitous front and crashing into the valley below. The most fearful avalanche I ever saw came form this glacier and took ten minutes by my watch for the foremost chunks of ice to reach the valley below. "At the .head of the valley and to the north rises Mount Turner, a splendid peak of some twelve thousand feet altitude, while to the right, at an altitude of between two and three thousand feet above the valley the Grand Forks, swift flowing from Berg Lake, leaps from the cliff and forms a superb falls as high as a Niaraga, then plunges in a number of beautiful cataracts down a narrow gorge till it sweeps across the floor of the valley. And from the Goat trail, which winds in and out among the overhanging cliffs, truly the "Valley of a Thousand Falls" is a marvel of Alpine scenery." In the second part of the booklet devoted to "Canada's New National Playground," the Jasper Park Reserve of five thousand square miles there is a double page illustration of the Fish Lake and the Fiddle Back ange. All the photographs have been toned and stippled and shaded and retouched to the finest degree of real art, but in this one particularly is shown the contrast of effect, the contrast of what is powerful and menacing with what is safe and peaceful. And of this never failing source of our pleasures and emotions the description goes on: "Away beyond the magnificent jasper portals of the charming Athabaska Pass, through which the Grand Trunk Pacific railway traverses the Rovky Mountains, lies a .vast, wild, unsubdued Alpine wonderland, rich in peerless scenic grandeur, and w.'ld regions hallowed by history, by Indian legend and by the romance of the picturesque voyageurs, tbe coureurs du bois and the pathfinders of the fur trade, who builded the foundations of an empire under the setting sun. This is a glorious heritage of the Canadian people which the Grand Trunk Pacific is developing- and which is a precious, if not as plentiful in corn and milk, as the rich plains which stretch away for a thousand miles eastward from those rugged, mighty bulwarks of the western hemisphere. It is a heritage which has not and never can be alienated, as it has been vested for ever in the name of the nation as the Jasper National Park���an illimitable sanctuary for the work-a-day world, far from the strife and bustle of the market place, and in contact with nature, peaceful, pure and undefiled." With such glowing words does the writer embellish and assist the work of the artist in showing that in this national reserve there is every diversity of natural features to delight and gratify the mountaineer or the explorer, or interest and vivify the tourist. And of the lakes and tarns "reposing in their mountain privacy like mirrors set in emerald," the impressive solitudes, the turbulent torrents brawling down from the frozen torpitude of their glacial sources, the sublime vistas and so on are so vividly described that the mere first reading of the booklet cannot fail to bring on severe attacks of wanderlust and startle people hearing "The Call of the Wild" in the silent watches of the night. But when this series of booklets reaches the Skeena river, then we of Prince Rupert shall be more keenly interested. Wondrous in its descriptive art as this is,-that devoted to our own noble river we must expect to surpass it in every respect. For the' whole party engaged in this work, artists, writers, explorers one and all, vowed and declared, while here but a few weeks back, that for glorious scenery the Skeena leads the world. And as this whole section can now be reached both by rail and stearmer, one may reasonably hope that the early exploitation by the company of its scenic beauties, will prove Prince Ru: pert's hotel accommodations totally inadequate to meet the requirements of next summer's tourists.

A husky stalwart volunteered, and swung up the heavy hammer ready to bring down a shattering blow on the rock. The Professor lay like a dead man. "Wait," cried Archer.' "How many blows shall be struck?" "Not any, please!'" the shrill voice of a woman cried from the audience, but other voices shouted "One!" "Two!" and "Four." "Four then!" said Archer, and the hammer came down with a crash on the stone. Once, twice, thrice it fell, and the splintered rock flew. The professor lay still and rigid, unheeding. The fourth blow came down like a steam hammer and the rock crumbled to fragments beneath it. Quickly the inert "subject" was raised to his feet. A few more passes and the words "All right!" and there stood Professor Hoyle smilingly himself again with the crumbled rock broken upon his body lying at his feet. He shook hands with his opponent, Archer, who thereupon agreed to summit himself tonight to the Professor's influence for further experiments in the science they both study. A series of amusing hypnotic "suggestion" exhibitions followed under Professor Hoyle's control, ahd the large audience dispersed intensely mystified and well satisfied. r I Try the Sunday dinner at the Savoy. Every girl thinks she could love aa no other girl ever loved if she could only meet the right man. When a married woman mysteriously disappears people wonder whether he ran away with a woman or from one. Alex. H. Hanson, B.A. W. E. Williams, b.a., ll.b.
