Price, Five Cents TWO MILLION FIRE IN VICTORIA' RAISING GRADE OF THIRD AVENUE discussion of proposal by city council Stwti, Works and Property Committee Have the Queation Now in Hand and Will Arrange With Property Holdera re Waiver*. The idea for the raising of the grade of Third avenue between Seventh and Ninth streets particularly was mentioned by Aid. Lynch at last night's city council. He said that the raising of the buildings there was the only immediate problem, and he expected that most of the owners would be ready to do this as the raising of the street grade was to do the city so much good. He thought they might go ahead and raise the grade as the city engineer could use this fill very satisfactorily, and further, the raising of the grade would greatly reduce the need for rock cutting on Eighth street. He thought at least 13000 would be saved the city by the work generally, instead of its being an extra expense, and argued that the permission of the Lieutanent-Govemor should be at once applied for to alter the grade. Aid. Barrow thought it} might be advisable to wait a few days and see about getting waivers of claims for damages from trie property owners who might be unwilling to raise their buildings here. Aid. Hilditch and Aid. Mobley both agreed with Aid. Barrow. Aid. Lynch said that the very most that any owner could claim here would be the cost of raising his building, as the advantages to the district of the raised grade were obvious. Aid. Mobley agreed that in point of ��Quity the position was clearly all right, but thought the legal position should be made clear too. It would be advisable to have in writing either waivers of claims of damages from the owners here or exact statements in black and "hite of the amounts of claim made by those refusing to give waivers. The Mayor said it could certainly be well worth the city's while to pay the price for this work anyway, and jw a brief discussion regarding the best manner of setting about the business it was decided on the motion of Aid. Mobley to leave the matter in the "ands of the Streets, Works and Property committee with power to act as they see fit.

Starts In Department Store of David Spencer Company and Burns All Around Times Building, Which Miraculously Escapes.-Hotel Driard Scorched. (Special to the Optimist) Victoria, Oct. 28.���The whole of the block bounded by Government, Fort and Broad streets, with the exception of the Times building and a few small shacks, is a smouldering mass of ruins. The total loss is estimated at nearly two millions. The fire started in the Spencer's department store, the largest store in the city, at about a quarter before eleven last night and was a' raging furnace in a very few minutes. By midnight it threatened to wipe out the entire business section. The whole of the fire brigade was on hand promptly and in addition the military and all the men at the artillery garrison were called out. By midnight every business man within two blocks was strenuously engaged in moving his office furniture, every conceivable vehicle being pressed into the service, many of them boldly commandeered. How the Times building escaped, seeing that the burning department store surrounded it, is remarkable. That famous coast hostelry The Driad was scorched badly. Its guests tumbled out into the streets in their night clothes as soon as the fire started. All their personal and other effects were piled along the street, a detachment of the military being assigned to guard them from pilferers. Several spectators were shocked by live wires. At midnight all the power was shut off, but the glare of the conflagration lit up the whole city. It is estimated that twenty thousand people watched the efforts of the fire fighters. The wind was so high that glowing embers were carried over five blocks. Amateur bucket brigades were on the alert, however, and quenched the incipient blazes started by these embers. Fire Chief Reeves was badly hurt and also four firemen received injuries. PRINTING ON CITY BY-LAWS REGARDING ERECTION OF NEW BUILDINGS Need for These By-lawa Being Printed Ia Considered Urgent Though Coat of Work la Regarded aa an Obstacle ���Matter Diacuased in Council. IS BELLE ELMORE DEAD? Baais of the Appeal Made by Dr. Crip- pen'a Attorneys Against Death (Special to the Optimist) London, Oct. 28.���The attorneys for Dr. Crippen today applied to the court of criminal appeal for a new trial, alleging that the crown had failed to establish the fact that Belle Elmore was dead. MUe. Le Neve has been offered a thousand pounds by a London newspaper for the story of her life. The Sheffield Daily Telegraph has been fined one hundred pounds for contempt of court in connection with the trial of Crippen. KILLED AT WHARF A workman, employed on the G.T.P. new wharf construction was killed about 3.30 this afternoon. He was squeezed by a pile and died on the way to the hospital. THE VICTORIA FIRE Driard Hotel Losses Will Be in Neighborhood of Thirty Thouaand (Special to the Optimist) Victoria, Oct. 28.-2 p.m.���Firemen are now busy dynamiting the ruins of the Government street block and clearing off the debris although the bricks are not yet cool. Tne damage is still to held to be well over the million dollar mark. All the papers were lost in the burning of the fire underwriters' offices, and it will therefore be some time before the claims can be adjusted. The Times office, although all the surrounding buildings were burned down, was only damaged by water. It is hoped that the plant will again be running in the course of next week. The Driard hotel losses will be in the neighborhood of thirty thousand dollars. CITY LAUNCH STORM STAYED Over at Porcher Island on Lighting Business Mr. Burns, of the city engineer's department, went over this week to Porcher island with the city launch to see how the work is getting on in connection with the supply of poles for the electric lighting plant. The stormy weather has probably hindered his return, as the wind is against the launch on the homeward journey. No doubt the launch is sheltering somewhere until the weather improves. Threatening Times in Egypt London, Oct. 28.���(Special)���Disquieting news from Egypt is beginning to come in and an order was issued this morning for the cancellation of all leave to British officers on service there. It is rumored that General Wingate will succeed Sir Eldon Gorst as sirdar. WINNER IN BALLOON RACE America II Descends In Wilds of Northern Quebec In International Race From St. Louis and Is Awarded James Gordon Bennett Cup.���Other Aviators Who Landed on the Canadian Side. (Special to the Optimist) Montreal, Oct. 28.���The balloon America II safely landed last night in North Quebec, and has won the long distance race from St. Louis. It was driven by Messrs. Allan ti. Hawley and August Post, both society men of New York. The remainder of the ten balloons which started in this great race from St. Louis on the 17th had been accounted for by the 22nd. Nothing having been heard of the America since her ascension there were fears that it had been lost and an expedition was sent out by the American Aero club to search for it. Quite a number of the contestants landed in Canada, and one of them, the Helvetia, driven by Colonel Theodore Schaeek--.' which; landed at Vllle Marie, Quebee�� on the 20th, was believed to btj the winner, this being 1,100 miles irtheSst of St. Louis. The Germania, driven by Captain von Abercron and August Blankertz, landed at La Tuque, Quebec. These balloonists met a hurricane after they left St. Louis, losing sight of all their companion balloons. The gale carried them along at the rate of sixty miles an hour for a day and night. Battered until they could hardly endure it, they were in a pitiful condition when they struck the line of the National Transcontinental in Northern Quebec. They followed the railroad until Wednesday evening. Then seeing they were travelling away from human habitations, they descended. It was a bitter fight through the bush to the railway track. A construction train took them to La Tuque, where they recuperated. Upon arrival at Montreal these gentlemen also felt pretty confident of having won the prize. The balloon Dusseldorf II, a German entry in the international race for the Gordon Bennett cup, came to earth near Kiskisink, Quebec, which is 120 miles north of Quebec city and 1060 miles from St. Louis. Thc Germania, by landing at Coccoo Cache, Quebec, 1200 miles from St. Louis, was in the opinion of most aeronauts the certain winner. It will probably prove to be the second in the race. The French aeronaut Alfred Le Blanc, who finished second in the race for the Bennett cup in 1907, was this year the pilot of the Isle de France. He descended near Pogomasing, Ont., and was the fourth of the contestants to alight. At Pogamasing he was within 148 miles of the American record of 873 miles set by John Wise in 1895 and within 468 miles of the world'B record of 1,193 miles set in 1900 by Comte Henri de la Vauix. At last night's city council meeting Aid. Pattullo referred to the proposal that the Building By-laws should be printed for the convenience of architects and contractors who have to refer to these. He said that he doubted if the funds at the disposal of the Finance committee warranted the outlay for printing, and suggested that the matter be shelved till next spring. Aid. Hilditch spoke on the subject stating the difficulty before architects and builders who have not enough opportuntiy for consulting these by-laws when planning on building new houses, etc. Aid. Lynch supported Aid. Hilditch, suggesting that printers be approached to see how economically this bit of work could be done. He believed that ad->- vertiseraunts might be printed with the by-law matter thus making the printing more profitable. He had seen such a method adopted before. The advertisements were chiefly for building material. The Mayor felt with Aid. Pattullo that the building business was not likely to be so brisk during the winter, and in view of the fact that the cost of printing the by-laws would be a tax on general fund thought it advisable to wait till spring. Aid. Pattullo remarked that if the need for this printing were really so urgent it was up to the Finance committee to try and have it done but owing to the present heavy strain on the general fund, he thought it still advisable to wait. Aid. Lynch said that it was usually taken for granted that architects were versed in the terms of the by-laws - regarding building, but this was not always so. He said that there was a big demand for houses in the city already and owing to the large numbers of workmen they would have here this winter many more houses would be wanted. These small houses were just the class of houses liable to be put up with errors against the by-law terms, and therefore the need for the printing of the by-laws was urgent. Aid. Pattullo remarking that the power of Aid. Lynch's arguments was persuasive, said he felt now that it was advisable that the Finance committee should consider this printing of the by-laws more closely. Aid. Barrow spoke in favor of this, suggesting that the job might be undertaken as a private enterprise, and Aid. Hilditch supported this view.

Brought From Telegraph Creek on Stikine River With Excellent Photos. In the window of Mr. Thomas Mc- Clymont's new real estate premises on Third avenue, there is an exhibit of really excellent vegetables grown in the neighborhood of Telegraph Creek on the Stikine river which point is away up nearly on the 58th parallel north. To those who imagine that Northern British Columbia is a land of rocks and dreary wastes of trees with glaciers and boulder strewn mountain sides, nothing could be more agreeably surprising and convincing than to find that this is on the contrary a fair and fertile land of plain and valley rich in agricultural possibility on every hand. Besides the fine turnips, celery, radishes, carrots, and cabbages grown in this district beautiful wheat is shown in Mr. McClymont's window from the same place, also oats, and splendid potatoes. Potatoes have, in fact, been grown up there for over five and twenty years now. This vegetable exhibit was brought down to Prince Rupert by Messrs. Wilford and Philip Macdonald as a set of samples of what can be done in Northern British Columbia with the soil under tillage. Some splendid photographs are also in Mr. McClymont's hands showing the land under cultivation there, the flat fertile acreages, and sunny slopes with the distant mountain background��� scenes like the tempting dairy farming pictures of the valleys of Switzerland only so much more expansive and roomy. One photograph of a broad hay field being harvested is particularly interesting as off this very field the farmer working it cleared magnificent crops of hay by the ton this season.

There is no one deemed worthy of a match with Jack Johnson, Ad. Wolgast is out of the game for a while with a broken arm, and Battling Nelson, try as he can, is still hankering for a chance to win back the title. The "Gheto Kid," is the wise boy, for knowing that he has but a few more years as champion, and that he is growing old, is raking in the spondulicks while the sun shines. Indeed it would be hard to find a busier person than this same Abe. The champion of all champions���for he surely has earned that title since Joe Gans no longer plays the part- admitted a short time ago that he was starting a campaign of extermination of featherweight titie seekers. He put the White boys to the bad. First he bested Charlie in Milwaukee, then he licked Frankie and later Jack was his victim in Winnipeg.

Watts of Wattsburg and Proctor, lumberman, owner of timber limits and fruit lands seems likely to occupy a large proportion of the time of the justice who will preside at the winter sittings of the supreme court in Nelson. Mr. Watts is entering the courts with his usual enthusiasm, and vim and intendB to conduct all his cases, of which there are seven, personally. For the past three weeks he has been spending much time in the offices of Registrar T. M. Bowman, conducting examinations for discovery of different witnesses in the seven cases he hopes to have decided in December. In all he is suing in different actions for damages amounting to a total of over a quarter of a million dollars. The most important of these cases is a suit for $103,000, which he is bringing against the C. P. R. for timber destroyed in fires near Wattsburg last summer which be alleges were caused by that company's employees or engines. Go to Stalker & Wells for Groceries. TO REBUILD CANNERY Fifty Per Cent of Kaaaan Pack Saved After Fire Mr. L. J. Gorman, proprietor of the Kassan cannery property, came up from Seattle a few days ago in company with Mr. Mills, the insurance adjuster, and since that time they have been engaged in adjusting the loss to the property which burned recently. Fifty per cent of the pack will be saved as it is being brought to Ketchikan and stored in the cannery here, while houses have been built for the Chinamen who will come over today to laquer and relabel the cans. The Vigilant, towing the scow Blanch, has been engaged for the past few days in transferring the salmon to this place. Mr. Gorman informs the Miner that after leaving here he intends to go east for a few weeks and upon his return he will arrange to rebuild the plant at Kasaan and it is his intention to put up a modern two line cannery with the latest improved machinery. The work to be completed for business the coming season.���Ketchikan Miner.

Friday, Oct. 28 THE EAST ON ASIA TICS The Toronto Star which has frequently dealt with the Asiatic labor question and has strenuously supported the exclusion of that undesirable element from Canada, recently contained a letter form a reader which deals with the other side of the question. This letter has attracted the attention of the press of the East. It is quoted here in part: "I can hardly bear to write calmly of the stupidity, as I see it, of the action of the Government of British Columbia in refusing the application of the trans- - continental railways to be allowed to bring to Canada through that colony, the laborers from East India so much needed in hurrying forward the construction of those great arteries of commerce between the East and West. Why should those great public works be compelled to put up with the limited supply of labor which they can obtain from the small-sized Italians at a high price, when our gigantic, brawny, fellow-subjects from Northern India are willing to lend us their aid in turning our rocky and thickly timbered back country into a land of plenty in half the time it will take with the present dearth of labor? This generation of Canadians will have passed away before the second and third transcontinental lines will have been able to construct their projected double-tracks through from ocean to ocean. What wickedness to thus prolong the condition of arid waste in which so great a portion of North America has heretofore existed, and to sacrifice the valuable lives of so many hundreds of pushing Canadian business men, who will be cut off almost by wholesale for want of double tracks, and of wide steel bridges, and through scarcity of nearby villages and of demical men to render 'first aid.' "How is it possible, with the present limited supply of labor, to build the many branches those transcontinental will need, and at the same time construct a fourth one through that wonderful Peace River country, and push forward the two great Hudson Bay lines, even with a single track, not to mention the imminent new Welland Canal, and the already ordered deepening of the St. Lawrence river? "Our rhildren and the children of those emigrants who have settled down in Canada will never handle a pick or a shovel in the construction of these great beneficial works, even if they are never built. They are at school, getting an education to fit them for becoming time-keepers, engineers, editors, draftsmen, school teachers, reporters, telegraph operators, electricians, railroad officers, vessel owners, contractors, clergymen, missionaires, manufacturers, and millionaires. It is perfect nonsense to expect that they are going to engage in manual labor or any sort except in an educational way. We must continue to import the laborers, and how more conveniently than from the British dominions in Asia, across the Pacific Ocean to Victoria, Vancouver, or Prince Rupert." ooooo The Toronto Globe replies to the letter comparing the danger of Asiatic invasion with the race problem of the negro in the United States: "In this one can almost hear again the arguments that led to the introduction of the African negro into the Virginia plantations. It was hard work growing tobacco with labor so scarce. To open up the back country would be a slow process. The negro was brought in, and it is not unlikely that there was promise to re-export him 'after serving us for five or six years.' Today the greatest race problem that has ever confronted mankind is before the prople of the United States as a result of their haste in nation-building. It will perhaps take another century to determine whether or not the Southern States are ultimately to become a black man's country, but already the negro question has cost a great war and the shedding of much, blood and many tears. "It may be said that the yellow man and the brown man on the Pacific slope will never multiply as the nergo has done in the South, and that no peril to the principle of a white man's Canada is involved in admitting several thousand Oriental laborers, alien in speach, customs, and ideals. How can we be sure of that? The Jap and the Chinamen and the Punjaubee are not fools. They know the land of promise when they see it just as quickly as the Russian Jew. The Chinese quarters of Victoria and Vancouver are swarmimg with almon-eyed children. Why should not a fresh invasion, even supposedly a temporary one, give ' us like permanent Oriental settlements in Calgary and Edmonton and Winnipeg, and the great cities of the East? There is only one way of safety. Keep the door shut. "Canada is not an old man in a hurry who must make haste because the long night cometh. The nation is but in its opening manhood. There are centuries of progress before it. Far better will it be to build slowly and to build well, even if we of this generation can but lay the foundation, than in a frenzy of unnecessary haste introduce men and women from Asia who may be as gerat a menace to the Anglo-Saxon on the Pacific as the negro is in the South. The Globe finds no wickedness but much to commend in the action of those in authority who labor to maintain barriers against the peopling of the Pacific coast from the Orient." SECTION ONE GRADING Tenders to Be Called for Rest of Thia Work The report presented by the Streets committee at last night's city council meeting embodied a number of recommendations, the principal one being that tenders be called fcr the remainder of the work in Section One. This was adopted. The report further recommended that tenders be called for the proposed improvements on Eighth avenue from McBride street to the intersection of Hays Cove Circle with Eighth avenue; and that the necessary advertising be done in connection with various proposed plankways. W. G. Humble's petition for leave to construct a plankway to his lots on Sixth avenue was granted subject to the approval of the city engineer. In connection with the petition for a sidewalk on Alfred street it was recommended that the plank in the vicinity of Alfred street be sold to the petitioners at $10 per thousand so that the assessment in payment of construction be for one year only and that the necessary advertising be done.

Tingley- Agent i MINING NOTES ���""-at (THE SKEENA Two of the Harris brothers were in town from their claims recently located on Nine Mile mountain, at the head of j Two Mile creek, and brought some fine samples of ore from the property, says the Omineca Herald. Three veins have been uncovered on the surface and, altogether, about five hundred feet of stripping has been done. Every vein shows good ore. The showings vary in width from eighteen inches to five feet and in some places the ore is solid galena. There are six claims in the one group, reaching from the lake at the head of Two Mile, up the hill to the ridge between it and Four Mile creek. Several mining men have visited the claims recently and all unite in a favorable opinion as to the worth of the proposition. The veins cut directly across the formation and are nearly straight up and down. Assays from surface ore yielded 140 ounces in silver, 60 per cent lead and a small percentage in copper. Not all of the ore is of this grade and much of it would require concentrating. One vein shows a shoot of solid galena nearly two feet wide. It is the intention to continue working all winter. FROM AMONG RIVER CAMPS ���"""���~"-��-~��-~4S Work on the Lead King F. A. Brown, superintendent of the Lead King on Nine Mile, reports that everything is in first class shape for a long winter's work. Provisions, tools and powder enough to last five or six men all winter have been laid down at the cabins. The tunnel is going ahead at a good rate, being driven on ore. Brown stopped at the Harris brothers' claims on his way down the mountain and says he considered the showing a winner. They have done a remarkably large amount of work in the last month and have the veins stripped for several hundred feet, showing ore all the way. Doing Surface Stripping Surface stripping and trenching is going ahead under the direction of Wm. Dalton, foreman, on the galena vein on the east side of Four Mile hill. Much good ore has already been uncovered. Surface water flowing into the cut from the deep over-burden has necessitated digging a long drain which will not be completed for a few days. Supplies for Nine Mile Supplies are being packed from Hazelton to Nine Mile for the Silver Cup and Lead King mines. About ten tons will be needed for the Cup and all but about two tons has been sent and this is to be hurried as a heavy fall of snow may come at any time on the upper end of the trail. Frank Brown is hustling to get the supplies for the .Lead King away. About eight tons will last the Lead King miners until spring. Steamer Hazelton Gives Dance Captain Gardener and officers of the steamer Hazelton last week entertained the townspeople at the Omineca hotel, giving a dance and supper that was in every way worthy to be classed as out of the ordinary in this part of the country. The large dining room was cleared for the dancers and by a lucky chance C. B. Wark, the Prince Rupert jeweler, and a commercial traveler, happened to be in town and furnished music exceptionally good. A large attendance filled the big room and a noticeable feature was the number of new faces, especially among the ladies. An elaborate supper was served about midnight and following that dancing was resumed until three o'clock in the morning. Hazelton Eagles Gathering The lodge of Eagles, now in process of being formed at Hazelton, is quite likely to build their own building, to be used for social gatherings as well as lodge purposes. Dr. Slocum, organizer for the order, has made informal arrangements for a site and has discussed plans with a number of leading spirits. Nothing definite can be determined, according to the doctor, until after the lodge is instituted and there is a full discussion of the matter among the members. The site proposed is on the Cunninhgam property, back of the store. The building would most likely be two stories high, the ground floor to be rented for business purposes.

Every one seems to be too busy to make news worth talking about. There is not even a half-way exciting political yarn afloat. The result is that Mr. Bourassa has been much in the limelight.

Faith of a Windsor Man A Windsor man's faith in human nature, particularly that part of it represented by the opposite sex, received a rude jolt last week. He was on his way to Kansas City to be married, accompanied by the bride-to-be, and stopped off at Chicago between trains. He went out to get shaved, and at the bride's expectant suggestion, left his money, $1700, with her until he returned. When he returned money and bride were both missing. The only consolation left him is the world's record for the most expensive shave.

Per Numa Demera, Agent MORE BUFFALO FOR THE PARK TWENTY-NINE HEAD SHIPPED TO WAINWRIGHT Round-up in Montana Waa Difficult and Dangerous Proceedings���Several Men Having Narrow Escapes From Death. Missoula, Mont., Oct. 24.���The second shipment of boffalo from Pablo's buffalo ranch on the Flathead reservation has left Ravalli consigned to the Canadian government, and in the charge of two government guards. This shipment consists of twenty-nine head of buffalo and was sent to Wainwright, Alta., which is near where the Canadian national park is located. The rounding-up of the buffalo was a hard and dangerous task, as several of the outlaw bulls proved very irritable and gave several men narrow escapes from death. James Lacazar narrowly escaped a horrible death, when one of the bulls charged his horse and gored it before Lacazar could turn to avoid the rush. Lacazar was knocked from his horse and the bull rushed at him. Three times he managed to dodge the rush of the bull and finally reached a tree, which he ascended after avoiding a rush that sent the bull some distance past him. The animals were brought into Ravalli, where they were loaded on Northern Pacific cars and will go first to Kallispel, and then on to the Great Northern tracks to their destination. They were put in frame wagons about fifteen feet long, constructed of heavy timber. The wagons did not allow the buffalo much play and proved a successful method of transporting them. Several buffalo became so hard to control that it was decided to leave them on the reservation, where they will be slaughtered. The herd consisted mainly of cows and calves. TO LICK THE EDITOR Long Lost Brother Had Lots of Fun in Attempt An editor can usually take a joke as well as anybody, but there are times during the rush of business when he is apt to miss the point of the joke. Such an instance happened out in Vancouver a number of years ago, which happened seriously for the joker, says the Saturday Mail. The joker in question happened to be the editor's own brother, whom he hadn't seen for ten years. He came to surprise his brother and to pay him a visit, and, being more or less given to practical joking, he determined to visit his brother in the guise of the "feller that wants to lick the editor." He was a big strapping man, well fitted to enact such a part, and when he forced his way into the editor's private office he had his hat pulled down over his eyes and a cigar elevated at an angle of forty-five degrees, giving him an appearance of terrible ferocity. "Is this the editor?" he asked as he faced his brother. "It is. What can I do for you?" "Nothing," replied the fierce-looking man. "It's me what wants to do for you. Are you prepared to take a good licking?" "Delighted, I'm sure," replied the editor, and with this he picked up a heavy picture block and slammed it into the visitor's face, knocking him under the table. The foreman in the composing room had a roller in his hand at the time and hearing a strange noise in the office came running in just in time to stand on the strange man's chest, give him a kick on the jaw and run the roller over his face. When the man came to his senses he explained his little joke, disclosing his identity. It took some time to get the ink off his face and, barring a piece of his ear. that was missing where the stereo glanced" ftff his head, he was soon all right and in good fettle for the drank which (no doubt) followed.

BOYS NEED MORE CARE One Who Got Into Trouble Recently Had Little Home Life The bad effect upon a young boy of the lack of kindly home conditions was brought out yesterday when Judge Young examined the two lads who had got into trouble over breaking into a cabin across the bay the other day. One of the boys is a big fellow, the other small for his age but bright looking and wiry. Both are only just over sixteen. The bigger boy has been exerting a bad influence generally recently over several groups of boys in Prince Rupert, and has been under detention for taking a gun before. The little chap was quite frank and intelligent in his answers to the Judge's questions yesterday. He said he had been living by himself in a cabin while his father was away up country staking land. He used to write to his father when he needed money and gave his father's address so that he might be communicated with. Evidently the lack of proper home life had had an ill effect on the lad, and the Chief of Police thinks that taken in hand properly now he will become a straight enough man yet. The bigger fellow was far less frank and agreeable before the Judge. He did not seem to realize the gravity of his position and sniggered at the idea of being made a manlier fellow. Judge Young whose treatment of both boys was a justly calculated combination of firmness and consideration administered a stern rebuke to the lad for laughing, but said that until it was proved that he was actually guilty he would refrain from any further reprimand. The lad is in a rather reckless mood evidently without dis- pylaing many outward signs of it. He said his father had forbidden him the house once, and that had made him stay away for good. This one sign of decency in the boy's curt replies to the questioning was his statement that his mother had been kind to him. Otherwise, he was hard, and silently defiant. As reported briefly in yesterday's issue Judge Young has adjourned the case while the boys' parents are being communicated with. THE BIG FILL On Second Avenue at S. H. Watson's Contract End Aid. Mobley asked at last night's council meeting why the big dump at the end of S. H. Watson's grading contract could not be filled now. He understood that S. H. Watson would have about 10,000 yards of material in excess of his dumping space on the contract and wondered why the big dump should be kept open still. Aid. Lynch said this was a matter for the city engineer to explain, but he believed that the matter depended on the intention of the G. T. P. to have an overhead bridge there and the tracks below. The Mayor said that if the contractor here had a 10,000 yard surplus of material over fill it might be advisable for the city engineer to communicate with the G. T. P. on the matter of this big dumping space. Aid. Pattullo said he believed a number of lot holders in that district were counting on trackage adjoining their lots, and these people's interests would be affected by a solid fill here. Small Accounts Oodered Paid A report from the Finance committee recommending the payment of one or two small accounts was adopted at last night's city council meeting and the accounts passed for payment, on the motion of Aid. Pattullo. Nelson to Meet Attell Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 26.���(Special) ���Agreements have been signed for Abe Attell to fight Battling Nelson in this city next month.

Hazelton Unable to Leave Becauae of the Heavy Storms The stage of water on the Skeena, as recorded this morning, is thirty-four inches below zero, in despite of the heavy rains. No matter how heavy it may rain in Prince Rupert it does not appear to affect the river much, but the weather seems to be moderating in the interior, with less frost and a tendency to turn from snowing to raining. This may help a little. The Port Simpson reached Kitselas all right and at half past eight this morning started to return. After she gets here she will probably be tied up for the winter. The Inlander is still on her way to Hazelton and appears to be making good progress. The Hazelton, which was to leave this port yesterday morning, was held back by the high winds, and was still here this morning. Go to Stalker St. Wells for Groceries.
