Price, Five Cents FORKING ON WATER SUPPLY ngineer Davis Presents His First Report icommends Putting Survey Party i the Field at Once A. W. Agnew, E.. as the Head���Request Was Cranted���Party Will Start Today. Engineer Davis presented the Jowing report to the council: "I lied Lake Woodworth on the 14th ., with the object of obtaining initiation regarding its suitability as a of water supply for the city. IW. Agnew, C E., accompanied me ', Agnew has surveyed a line and taken els from Shewatlans passage to Lake jodworth and traversed Shawatlans f Woodworth Lakes. Judging from the i supplied by Mr. Agnew and the formation obtained on the ground, |m of the opinion that a water supply i be obtained from Lake Woodworth pt will be satisfactory in every way to i municipality. [I would recommend that a survey- party be placed in the field at once the purpose of making a recon- isiuife of the water-shed, supplying i lake, locating a conduct line from i city to the lake, gauging the flow ���water, selecting a site for a dam at the plet of the lake, and obtaining any other information necessary for the preparation of a report and estimate for submission to the council, and plans and specifications of the work if your council decides to proceed with it. "I would ask authority to proceed with the work forthwith, engaging Mr. Agnew chief of the party and such other assistants as may be found necessary. "Mr. Agnew has considerable valuable information regarding previous surveys which will become the property of the city on his engagement. His salary would be at the rate of $200 per month, to give his whole time to the city. I am not aware of the precise terms of Mr. Agnew's present engagement as Water Works superintendant but in the event of his engagement as chief of the survey party other arrangements would be necessary for the operation of the Water Works department." W. M. DAVIS City Engineer. Aid. Lynch moved that the engineer's report be referred to the Fire and Water committee to consider and report on. Aid. Pattullo seconded the motion and it carried. The engineer will be empowered to proceed with his work today if possible and start his survey party out to work and in the meantime give the committee an estimate on the cost of the work.

To reduce the cut between Emanuel and Kellisher EARLY BLAZE IN PRINCE RUPERT Damage to Extent of Twelve Thousand Dollars Scotch Bakery, Stockholm Hotel and Moving Picture Theatre Burned Down���Fire Brigade Promptly on Scene���Most Excellent Work. CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 The city of Prince Rupert, as a city, has its first fire this morning and its new fire brigade and equipment was called into actual duty for the first time. It seems to be the general opinion that the fire department did good work. The absence of a general fire alarm and the inadequacy of the water service for fire fighting purposes, were two of the defects demonstrated and which will very shortly be remedied. The fire broke out in the Scottish bakery, on Second avenue opposite the Optimist office, just before five o'clock this morning. H. Hamblin, proprietor of the bakery, was starting to ignite his gasoline arrangement under the dough trough when one of the pipes broke and the stream of gasoline ignited. Hamblin had both hands and arms badly burned. Some one ran all the way to the fire station and the department was out in reasonably quick time. Three lines of hose were laid on, one from Second avenue and two from Third. By the time they began to play it was seen nothing could save the bakery and attention was directed to the protection of the adjoining property. Soon the Stockhold hotel was on fire and burned rapidly. Then the new theatre on the other side ignited and burned like a matchbox. The flames rose high and people were roused from their beds in every part of the city. There were plenty of volun- ters to assist the fire laddies, too many, in fact. Along Second avenue and Third people hurried to pack to get their treasures into the streets. A cottage at the rear of the bakery took fire and the Third avenue people thought the flames would attack their building next. Miss Gleeson's boarders hurriedly packed up, as did the people in the restaurant next door. But the firemen prevented the flames spreading any further in that direction. Chief of Police Carvell says he heard somebody running up the street yelling fire. He donned his clothes and hurried to the fire. By the time he arrived at the scene the bakery was a goner and the Stockholme hotel starting. Streams were alread playing on the fire, so the fire boys must have been pretty alert. There was fortunately scarcely any wind or it would have been worse. As it was the Talbot hotel and other buildings CONTINUED ON PAGE 8 JAPANESE WAS KILLED Cabbed in the back with his own knife Iiwasaki Was Out for Blood, But His Own Was Spilled���Wadakabi Did the Deed But the Coroner's Jury Say He Was Justified. [The coroner's jury which inquired o the death of Kawasaki, brought in verdict that Wadakabi caused the >th but he did so in self defence and justified. Magistrate Sandilands edwuy had previously given the Jap J preliminary hearing and committed [m for trial. Chief Wynn brought him r on Sal unlay night and sent him with W Campbell. Coror... J. H. Mc.Iallin and Chief Wynn held an inquest in Jedway on Friday to inquire into the death of Kawasaki, a Japanese. It seems that the dead man got on a drunk at Rose Harbor and went up to the bunk house to look for trouble. That he found it is quite true. Kawasaki took an ax into the bunk house and called for anyone to fight him. The ax was taken away from him. He then got a knife and a club and returned to the house. No one to fight so he went to Wadakabi's bunk and pulled him out of bed and hit him with the club. Wadakabi was a smaller man but he was game He got up and tussled with the drunken Jap and finally gained possession of the knife and floored Kawasaki. They rolled and tossed about the floor until stopped, but not before Wadakabi had successfully used the knife on his victim. When Dr. Tremayne examined the body he found two small stabs on the left side of the abdomen, and one in the back an inch wide and about four inches long. The left lung had been punctured from the back and that was the cause of death. After the fight the other Japanese in the bunk house did all they could to prolong Kawasaki's life but he died on Sunday June 26th. ": The coroner's jury brought in the following verdict:- "We the members of the coroner's jury held at the court house in Jedway on July 16th, 1910, find that the Japanese Kawasaki, came to his death at the hands of Wadakabi; we also find that the said Wadakabi acted in self defence and was justified.

BROKE THE SABBATH Real Estate Broker Caught Swimming in the Harbor As the Prince Albert was yesterday moving from the lower dock to the upper one an upset canoe was seen out in the bay and a man clinging to it.

That hotbed of anarchy Barcelona has been under martial law since before the execution of the great Spanish educator, and it is still under martial law with uprisings every two or three days that keep the garrison active and the jails full. Bilboa, Santandera, Saragossa and other cities are now under martial law. All the people seem ready to rise at a moment's notice, and they are not without firearms and bombs which have been smuggled in, mainly through the lesser frontier towns. It is stated on good authority that a meeting of the cabinet was called this morning, specially to consider what steps should be taken to cope with the alarming situation. At this meeting the king was strongly advised to suspend the constitution and proclaim a military dictatorship. It is believed this will be done. Such a course would be playing directly into the hands of the clerics, who are everywhere active for the downfall of the throne. ������������ ���������*����� �����������������������)������*>��������� T The Optimist is sincerely grate- ���*> ful to the fire department and X the volunteers who did good work f in saving the building occupied by ������ this paper, and the other building in the block.

In the former only one run was secured, and that by the home team. In the game at Spokane against Seattle darkness stopped the game in the sixth innings and neither side had scored. In Sunday's game Vancouver was again a winner, scoring three runs to Tacoma duck egg, and Spokane won a double- header. ESTIMATES PASSED COUNCIL Rate of Fifteen Mills Was Adopted For This Year. Total Revenue Will be Nearly Two Hundred Thousand Dollars��� The Provincial Government Gets a Big Slice���Permanent Work. Prince Rupert's first tax rate will be 15 mills and that amount will cover everything. There will be no special for schools or hospitals. Trade licenses will be issued, but none of them are particularly heavy. The land will be charged up with practically the whole amount. The budget as submitted by the finance committee, with Aid. Pattullo as chairman, was adopted with but one amendment. Instead of an item "Taking over Telephone System $25,000" it was changed to "general contingencies and telephone fund $25,000." The total receipts are estimated at $152,788,01 and the total expenditure at $148,870,00 leaving a surplus of $3,918.01. Aid. G. R. Naden put up a very strong and earnest argument in favor of cutting down the rate to about 10 mills. He urged that the telephone and city hall items be struck out and debentures issued. He asked that the fire shief be made building inspector also and save the officials salary. Ail of these motions were defeated. Aid. Barrow was the only one who voted with Aid. Naden. After three futile attempts to strike items out of the estimates and reduce tbe rate Aid. Naden said he would ask no further reductions. He intended to ask that the sanitary inspector be dispensed with and that the police perform those duties. In face of the stand taken by the rest of the council he would not say any more.

The prudent Germans with their bent for regulating everything have already prepared police rules for air navigators. What these are, precisely, the cable has not said, but to a certain extent thay may be conjectured by any one who has watched passengers on an excursion. Persons taking their lunch on board will be fined, let us hope, if they drop lemon peel or tomato cans upon unoffending pedestrians below. Hilarious young men who empty lemonade bottles and then throw them away, will doubtless be rigorously prosecuted by any householder whose window panes or flower pots suffer damage. Traiiling anchors that rip up flower beds or remove chimneys should be liable for substantial damages. Of course there wil! have to be an aerial police to look after these things. With a number of by-planes, monoplanes and dirigibles circling about overhead, the pedestrian or the householder Who finds unwished f6r things falling from the skies will experience some difficulty in identifying the offender, and much more in following him up. As there are now police mounted on motor bicycles to chase automobiles there will no doubt be seen occasionally a portly gentleman in the official blue mounted on a police aeroplane of speedy build, and waving a club at an altitude of several thousand feet, at offending tourists from the Balfour hotel.��� Nelson News. Mr. Von Dohlon Married Mr. and Mrs. J. J. von Dohlon, whose marriage took place recently, have returned to town and are staying for a few days at the Hotel Vancouver.���-Vancouver News Advertiser. Canadians on Royal Oath Discordant messages go from Canada to Westminster concerning the "coronation oath," The British Parliament is assured by high authority that several hundred thousand Canadian Protestants are protesting against any mftigation of the royal declaration. On the other hand the Baptists of British Columbia, so far as they were represented in the recent convention have almost unanimously advised the elimination of the words wherein the sovereign is made to say that the faith and worship of his Roman Catholic subjects are superstitious and idolatrous. In view of this diversity of counsel members of parliament will perhaps be guided by what they believe to be British opinion and allow Canadian advices to cancel each other. ���Vancouver News Advertiser For Non-Union Workmen The following notice has been posted in Vancouver: For the protection of our employees and the business upon which they and we depend for our living, we have decided that from today this plant will employ only independent non-union workmen. This measure has been adopted by the United Metal Trades Association of the Pacific Coast." The foregoing notice was posted Wednesday morning in every machine shop, shipbuilding yard, foundry and other works connected with the metal trades, where the employing individuals or corporations are members of the Metal Trades Association. As all but three cr four of the employees in this city are in the association this means that if the unions fail the entire industry will be run on a non-union basis.���Victoria Colonist.

M. to be Formally Constituted Saturday The officers of Tsimpson Lodge A. F. & A. M., are in receipt of the information that the lodge will be formally constituted under the warranty issued by the Grand Lodge at their last communication. Heretofore the lodge has been working under dispensation but the petition for a charter has been granted. It is exceptional for a lodge to get a charter so soon after its formation and it speaks well for the masonic fraternity in this city. The constitutiort will take place on Saturday evening next July 23 and it is expected that F. J. Burd, deputy Grand Master of Vancouver will have charge of the ceremonies. A meeting to arrange for the details will be held in the Masonic rooms on Tuesday evening. DESTROYED THE TURKEY Medical Health Officer Reddie Ha* Started to Work Although only appointed medical health officer last week Dr. Reddie has begun his duties and one uf the first things he did was to examine a shipment of turkeys. There were two hundred and fifty pounds in the consignment and when the M. H. O. looked them over he found them so far gone that they were unfit for human food. He therefore had them destroyed. A few deals of this kind and the local merchants will compel the transportation companies to provide proper cold storage accommodation on their boats for handling meats and perishable goods. Boring for Oil Messrs. Leonard and Reid and M. M. Stephens have become interested in an oil company with a good claim in Kern county, California, and anticipate some big profits within a few months. A syndicate composed of these gentlemen, and five other Victoria and Vancouver men have secured the controlling interest in the Maricopa Oil Company capitalized at one million. They have a 60 acre property right in the oil belt and near a couple of gushers.. A well is now being put down and that they will strike oil is almost certain. Advertising the Province During the past few days the provincial bureau of information has shipped approximately thirty thousand pamphlets and booklets to Winnipeg for distributing at the exhibition there opening on the 13th instant, and at which Messrs.

Monday, July 17 THE FIFTEEN MILL RATE. The city council have placed a ten mill rate on Prince Rupert for the first year's taxes. To sections five, six, seven and eight, this tax will not necessarily be burdensome although it is half as much again as the property owners anticipated. In section one there is going to be a very heavy tax and one which may be em- embarrassing in many ways. One and a half per cent is apparently a reasonable tax in comparison with the taxes'of other cities but in Prince Rupert there is as yet absolutely nothing to show for it. The one an one half per cent will give us nothing but a city hall and the nucleus of a telephone system. The waterworks, the electric light plant and the street improvements are all to come yet and to be added to the present rate. Fifteen mills establishes a precedent which later councils may add to but which will never be lowered. Next year when the street improvements are charged up under the frontage tax the rate of taxation will go the limit, probably 30 mills in section one. This rate, with the business tax, is going to make section one an expensive place to hold property.. It will show also the error of the frontage tax principal applied to street improvements. It has been suggested that the sum of $350,000 be raised by debentures chargable to section one for local improvements. The interest and sinking fund for 20 years on a $3,000,000 assessment means an additional rate of 12 mills. Add to this amount the tax rate for waterworks, electric light, sewers, schools and some other essentials and the section one property will be paying taxes as big as a rent. Section one will pay for the streets and everyone will use them. A fifteen mill general rate, a 12 mill improvement rate, and other rates to follow is not a very enticing proposition to put up to an investor who wants to buy business property. It is to be hoped for the sake of the business man that the local improvement tax does not start until next year. EXHIBITION FOR PRINCE RUPERT MR. HALSEY CHOSEN PERMANENT SECRETARY Exhibition to Open September Twentieth and Remain Open Two Following Days���Exhibit to be Sent to New Westminster Fair In October. A general meeting of the Skeena District Agricultural and Industrial Association was held in the rooms of the Board of Trade on Saturday night and fully discussed tne details for the completion of the organization and those of the exhibition to be held this first year. G. D. Tite, who presided over the meeting and has been the chairman of the general committee that has brought the project to its present progressive state, was chosen president of the association, and Charles Halsey its secretary, reported through its chairman, Wm. Manson, M. P. P., the name of Mr. Halsey only, with the statement that no other could be found as well qualified for such a position of responsibility. This statement was supported by other members of the committee, who pointed out that the whole success of the enterprise must rest on the man appointed to fill the position of secretary. The salary recommended was $100 per month for three months, to devote his whole time to the work. Mr. Halsey was acting secretary already but showed a disinclination to accepting the position offered. He did so, however, and the arrangements for the holding of the exhibition were next discussed. It is understood, in the first place, that there to be no money prizes and no sports in connection with the exhibition. All hoped for, in fact, is to lay the foundation for a permanent exhibition, that visitors to the city may have an object lesson of the vast resources, agricultural and mineral, the city has behind it. The exhibits to be shown here are to be sent to the New Westminster annual fair, where they will doubtless attract considerable attention and serve to advertise the city. The .'air here is to open on September 20th and to remain open the two following days, after which the exhibits will be shipped to New Westminster. GRADING IN SECTION SEVEN continued from page 1 streets to sub-grade would cost an additional $20,000. All the land abutting on this plank roadway^will be benefitted thereby and should be assessed according to frontage. According to the engineer's report there are 2240 feet on Government property which is exempt and which will be benefitted. For that reason the engineer considered it would be advisable for the city to assume a portion of the cost of the heavy cutting necessary. Aid. Pattulll moved that the report be referred to the streets committee to report on. Aid. Lynch said that if the committee was to make a recommendation he would go to the property owners in that district and ask them what they wanted���just a plank road or to have the road referred to be brought down to grade. If they were willing to pay for the grading he would let the work be done. Aid. Hilditch took occasion to object to the grading being charged up to the few property owners immediately benefited. He said that as section one had been made a local improvement district and the cost of all grading divided equally over the district, the same policy should be pursued in section seven. Aid. Lynch and Aid. Hilditch could not agree and the report was referred to the streets committee to deal with.

S. Orr, formerly mayor of Tacoma, regular Republican and James Wickersham, insurgent Republican. The present delegate, Wickersham, and national committeeman Shackelford, who is an Orr partisan, left Dawson yesterday by Yukon steamer for the big mining camps of the North. Wickersham alleges that Orr is subservient to the Guggenheim interests and Orr's chief campaign document is a fac-simile of a telegram Wickersham sent to the manager of the Guggenheim syndicate two years ago, asking employment as counsel.

The scene of commotion after this act defies description. Several sprung forward to snatch the weapon from the demented being and he turned it upon them. He shot and killed Mrs. Bryant, his mother-in- law, and also Henry Clark, the organist. There was a rush from the building but his wife remained at prayer. He shot and mortally wounded her. Then a policeman came in to arrest the murderer and the officer was also mortally wounded Ellison walked cooly out of church the crowd scattering. He walked but a short distance and then took to tne woods in a hurry. As soon as a posse could be got together there was a hunt for him. Some hours later he was found in the woods unconscious. He had taken a big dose of strychnine, and is not likely to recover.

MODEL OF KING'S DOG Teddy Bear Supplanted as Playmate For London Children New York, July 14.���The London correspondent of the Sun writes as follows: The Teddy bear has been supplanted in L&ndon by Caesar, the late King's dog, who has been reproduced in toy form as the newest plaything for children. He has been copied as faithfully as possible, with his rough coat made of plush and all his joints movable. Attached to his collar is a medallion with the inscription: "I am Caesar," which the King had engraved on the silver medallion the original Caesar wore fastened to his silver collar. Meanwhile the real Caesar is quite unconcious of his fame and is resting at Sandringham until he goes with Queen Alexandra to Denmark. He has settled down once more to an ordinary existence and consents to eat and drink thanks to the ministrations of the veterinary surgeon who has been untiring in his efforts to keep the little dog alive and well. The Los Angeles Times is of the opinion that if men could buy life with money there would be a big run on the banks. Simon's Fair for Kitchenware.

They come in white, light blue, navy, green, and linen shades and the prices run from $6.50 up to $9 less one-fifth off while they are on sale. across the street from the fire were only saved by the streams directed on them. A slight breeze sprung up which when the flames were at their highest blew them across Second avenue and rained embers upon the roof of the Talbot. But the streams, though feeble, were constant and none of the buildings on the Optimist side of the avenue suffered Everything was done that could be done with a two inch main and, furtunately that was sufficient. But what particularly handicapped the firemen at the beginning was that when they coupled up at the hydrant on Second avenue and Eighth street they failed to get water and had to uncouple and run the hose to Third avenue and Seventh, where they did get water. But for this more of the property would undoubtedly have been saved. Fire Chief Mclnnes says he heard someone shouting fire and he roused out the boys. They had just received their new night clothes so they were able to turn out quickly. Of course it had taken time" for the messenger to run up to the firehall and when they arrived on the scene with the chemical the bakery was a mass of flames and the fire had already caught the hotel adjoining. The chemical was turned on the Talbot hotel, the Optimist office and the fish market, and all the people turned on their small hose. By this means that side of the avenue, which was in imminent danger of igniting from the intense heat and the flying embers, was saved. Much more of the burning buildings might have been saved if there had been water in the hydrant at Second and Eighth, but under the circumstances he thought the boys had done pretty well in saving as much as they did. What he thinks is an absolute necessity is a Gamewell alarm system, even if only four call boxes are put in. The cottage in the rear was saved though badly damaged by the flames. This the the property of the bakery and was occupied by Andy Cummings. He got most of his belongings out. A the barber in the Stockholem hotel also saved his effects. The baker lost everything up to his cash register,' which was dug out of the embers. The losses are roughly estimated as follows: Scottish bakery $2,000 Stockholme hotel and furniture $8,000 Theatre $2,000 . Cottages in rear $300 The Contractor of the theatre was insured for $1500.
