ELECTRIC LIGHT CONTRACT ALL READY FOR CITY TO SIGN AND SEND TO COMPANIES Engineer Milne and Thos. Dunn Placed the Affairs of the Committee before the Council.���Detail Reports are Ready for City. The citizens' electric light committee met the Council last night and through their engineer, Jas. Milne, and chairman Thos. Dunn, placed the affairs before the aldermen, and a committee are taking the matter up today and will report this evening. Chairman Thos. Dunn said that all contracts for machinery had been let, but not signed yet, and it was up to the city to sign up. He had wired Engineer Milne to come up and go over the contracts and the committee's report with the city solicitor before the contracts were signed. There were such things as the power house, poles, etc., to be arranged for yet but that could not be done by the committee. Mr. Milne was here and would be here until the thing was all cleaned up. Mr. Jas. Milne said the contract to be signed at once was the one for the machines which take two and a half months to make. There are boilers, pumps, etc., condensors, engines and apparatus to be signed for. A great? deal of the work had already been done but is being held back now waiting for the contracts to be signed. He had with him plans of the proposed plant and lines that the city should go over and pass upon at once. There was also to be arranged for the arc lamp system which would run in connection with the incandescent system. Mr. Milne also had a report showing just what the cost of maintenance and operation of the plant is so the council can decide upon the rates to charge the consumer. The arc lamps would have to be born by the city generally. For the arc lamps, he thought the city ceuld pull through With 60 arc lamps at $99 per annum. The question of meter rates would have to be taken up later. He recommended that the council arrange for a day load, or furnish power, in order to keep down the expense and raise the revenue. In the winter the lighting will be run about 17 hours and 9 hours in the summer. The incandescent lighting cost will be high. The system being put in is quite capable of running motors as well as lights. Aid. Pattullo moved that the light and telephone committee take over this matter from the citizens' committee and report on such recommendations as they see fit at the next sitting of the council. Aid. Barrow seconded the motion and it carried. This means that the light committee must get busy first thing in the morning and work all day. If you want to have a good time at the Eagle dance, get a suit made or your clothes pressed at Rudnick, Swe- der Bros., merchant tailors, Third aver nue, to the right of Sixth street. 29d FIRE AT ESSINGTON ENGLISH CHURCH AND THREE STORES WIPED OUT. . Several other Buildings Destroyed.��� Fire Broke Out in a Chinese Restaurant at Midnight and Spread Rapidly. The Port Simpson, which got in this morning, brings the news of a disastrous fire at Port Essington last night, It broke out in a Chinese dive about midnight and rapidly spread to the new English church, which was soon a mass of flames and was totally destroyed. It was a handsome structure and only erected last March. From the church, with the high wind blowing the fire rapidly spread to adjoining building and three stores and five small buildings were burned.to the ground before the conflagration was at an end. The Port Simpson was loading on freight at the time the alarm was given. Captain Jackman immediately turned his whole crew and it is due to him and his crew that several buildings were saved and perhaps was saved. There was nothing to fight the fire with except by bucket brigades, but these do excellent ���work. Every man of the Port Simpson worked their hardest in putting out the flames, with the possible exception of the purser, who did not seem to know anything about fire when questioned by the Optimist at the dock here this afternoon. This is the story Captain Jackman, of the Port Simpson, tells of the fire: "It was sharp at twelve o'clock, and we were just finishing loading, when Mr. Knox, our chief Stewart, started to hello "Fire!" Immediately all the crew came to the front, and by that time the Indians and others on shore got around to where the fire was. They started bucket brigades, but seeing the headway the flames were making, we tried to dynamite the adjoining buildings." RAT DAY ON FRIDAY CITIZENS ASKED TO JOIN IN THE WAR AGAINST THE RODENTS Health Committee Will Send the Bread Mixed With Virus Around to the Property Owners, and They Are Asked to Place It. Friday, June 10, has been set aside by the Health Committee of the Council as the day on which the first attempt will be made to exterminate the rats which have thus far held sway in the city. The committee is acting in conjunction with the Grand Trunk Pacific and Foley, Welch & Stewart, and every citizen is asked to join with these. The committee, under the direction of the Sanitary Inspector, propose to have the bread mixed with the virus, and will then send out a gang of men to distribute it to the owners of buildings, houses, warehouses, stores, etc., and these people are asked to be on hand in person or by proxy to receive the stuff that will close the blinkers of the rodents. Special stress is laid upon the fact that the virus is perfectly harmless to all animals, birds and humanity. It will only affect the rats. There need be no fear in handling the stuff, and it is only by a united effort that any hope of success can be entertained. While it is not claimed that one application of this death-dealing fluid will entirely rid the city of rats, it is claimed that it will so reduce the number that they will be easily handled in future, and probably a second effort will be made later on. It is up to the citizens to help. They are the most benefited, and it costs them nothing directly. THE TELEPHONE COMPANY PRESENT REPORT OF THEIR AFFAIRS TO THE COUNCIL. Outline Work Already Done and the Amount of Money Expended ���Ready for the City Council to Take Over. A report of the Telephone Company was presented by Alderman Smith to the council, which is given in part below. The report also included information as to the formation of the company and offering to turn it over to the city as soon as the city was ready to accept it. E.

Bought a Lot at $75 in September and Sold in April.���Sends-David H. Hays Souvenir in Appreciation of His Work in Connection with Deal. One of the best boosts a town can have is a man who is pleased with his investments in real estate. Stoddard P. Johnson of Carrizoza, New Mexico is one of those. He visited Prince Rupert last September and invested considerable in real estate. Just as he was leaving Mr. David H. Hays, with whom he had been dealing advised Mr. Johnson to buy a cheap lot in section 8,. Mr. Johnson, took his advice and handed over $75 for investment. Mr. Hays did the rest. As a result the property purchased with that $75 in September was sold in April for over $600 making a net profit in five months for Mr. Johnson of $535. Mr. Johnson is naturally greatly pleased and in writing to Mr. Hays stated that about midsummer he would send up several thousand dollars for investment and later on he would come up here to live. A couple of days ago Mr. Hays received a very valuable souvenir from his friend in New Mexico. It was in the form of a photo album handsomely bound in leather. It contained views taken by Mr. Johnson himself while on his trip to and from Prince Rupert. There are several beautiful views of this city and district and four views of a Mexican bull fight he saw on his way home. In the back of the album is a photo oft he cheque which Mr. Hays sent to Mr. Johnson after the sale of the $75 lot. Under this photo are the words "Profit on a $75 investment in 5 months in Prince Rupert real estate." The album was also very neatly illuminated by Mr. Johnson and the work is a credit to him. Mr. Hays values the souvenir very highly. For the South Pole. London June 7.���The British Antarctic expedition set sail today. Capt. Scott has announced ricember, 1911 as the date for his aw,.

One of the most important by-laws which the municipal council has to deal with is the Liquor License by-law which they have in hand at the present time. In regard to liquor licenses and the liquor traffic generally there is a good deal of public sentiment and that must receive due consideration. A council cannot afford to rush through in a night or two a by-law which largely has to do with the public morals and on which there is so strong public feeling. There is not even the excuse of necessity in hurrying this measure, for we understand that no licenses can be granted until September, as was stated in these columns before. It would be well therefore, to allow this by-law to stand over until such time as the public may express an opinion, or at least until legislation has been carefully considered. We understand most of the by-laws are being drafted from the Victoria by-laws, and everyone knows that that city has been particularly backward and slovenly for the past fifteen years. Victoria makes no advance movement whatever on most questions and particularly on the liquor license question. Copying from the Victoria by-Jaws or some other equally antiquated by-law the Prince Rupert council proclaims that barrooms shall close at twelve o'clock at night and open at five o'clock in the morning, except Saturday night when eleven o'clock is the closing hour. This is a very old hour and all cities and towns that are up to date have placed early closing restrictions upon the liquor traffic, and they got their authority from the Liquor License Act. Public sentiment and the public welfare also demand it. The new legislation passed at the last session of the Legislature gives the municipality authority to close the bars at any hour they see fit.(clause 74, part 4). In a great many places throughout the country the daily closing hour is 11 o'clock p.m. and the opening hour 6 o'clock a.m. and on Saturday night the closing hour is 7 o'clock p.m. and open again Monday morning at 6 o'clock. There is also a strong feeling here that similar hours should prevail in this city. Sub. Sec.(d) of clause 74, gives the municipal council even wider scope in the control of the traffic, as will be seen by the following:- " Municipal Powers. "In addition to the provisions for Sunday observance contained in this section of this Act, the Municipal Council of any Municipality in the Province of British Columbia shall be deemed to have always had power to and may by by-law and concurrently with and in addition to the exercise of any powers conferred upon such Municipal Council by the Municipal Clauses Act or by any other Act of the Legislature of the Province of British Columbia, provide and enforce all such further or other restrictions and prohibited hours and days and times within which liquor may be sold within such municipality, and times within which every bar-room and and every place containing any stock of liquor within such municipality must be securely closed and locked, so that no person may have access thereto, together with such provisions for continuous and free inspection of the premises directed to be closed and locked as such Municipal Council may think fit; and no such by-law, whether now in force or hereafter to be passed, shall be quashed or set aside or declared ineffectual or void by reason of any informality or by reason of any want of declaration of the power under and by virtue of which such by-law is passed, or on or for or by reason of any ground or matter whatsoever; but every such by-law shall be valid and effectual and shall be enforceable and inforced so as to carry out the intention of the Municipal Council passing said by-law as expressed therein.."

LICENSING IN VANCOUVER. The members of the school board would like to know the number of pupils there are in Prince Rupert who would attend a high school if they had the opportunity. There is no way to find out unless the parents who have children elligable for the high school were to notify Mr. Bennett of the school board or the principal of the public school at as early a date as possible. In order to get the government grant there must be at least 20 pupils and unless there are a number in the city who are unknown those passing the entrance this summer will not make up the re- less than fifteen bundles of stock changed hands. The stocks dealt in mainly were Portland, Star, Main Reef, Portland Canal and Red Cliff. These and all the other stocks dealt is held strong and were in good demand, and other offerings was brisk. There will be a board call at eleven o'clock every day except Sunday from now on, and it will be interesting to compare the rises and falls inlocal mining stocks dealt with in a local market with the quotations of the same stocks recorded by the Vancouver exchange! Hotel Men Opposed to Closing at Eleven o'clock. With respect to the proposed amendment to the Liquor License by-law the hotel men of Vancouver, through H. L. Edmonds objected to the proposal to close all bars in the city at 11 o'clock every night instead of 2 a.m. They asked that the hour be placed at 12 o'clock instead. The majority of the aldermen were in favor of the 11 o'clock closing. A change in the suggested amendments was also asked for so that hotel proprietors would not be made responsible for all debts contracted for all pa ts of the hotel, to provide for cases where the dining rooms were conducted under a separate management. These and other suggestions will be given consideration before the by-law is finally passed. List your property with us. We buy or sell; we get results.

One of the most important by-laws which the municipal council has to deal with is the Liquor License by-law which they have in hand at the present time. In regard to liquor licenses and the liquor traffic generally there is a good deal of public sentiment and that must receive due consideration. A council cannot afford to rush through in a night or two a by-law which largely has to do with the public morals and on which there is so strong public feeling. There is not even the excuse of necessity in hurrying this measure, for we understand that no licenses can be granted until September, as was stated in these columns before. It would be well therefore, to allow this by-law to stand over until such time as the public may express an opinion, or at least until legislation has been carefully considered. We understand most of the by-laws are being drafted from the Victoria by-laws, and everyone knows that that city has been particularly backward and slovenly for the past fifteen years. Victoria makes no advance movement whatever on most questions and particularly on the liquor license question. Copying from the Victoria by-Jaws or some other equally antiquated by-law the Prince Rupert council proclaims that barrooms shall close at twelve o'clock at night and open at five o'clock in the morning, except Saturday night when eleven o'clock is the closing hour. This is a very old hour and all cities and towns that are up to date have placed early closing restrictions upon the liquor traffic, and they got their authority from the Liquor License Act. Public sentiment and the public welfare also demand it. The new legislation passed at the last session of the Legislature gives the municipality authority to close the bars at any hour they see fit.(clause 74, part 4). In a great many places throughout the country the daily closing hour is 11 o'clock p.m. and the opening hour 6 o'clock a.m. and on Saturday night the closing hour is 7 o'clock p.m. and open again Monday morning at fi o'clock. There is also a strong feeling here that similar hours should prevail in this city. Sub. Sec.(d) of clause 74, gives the municipal council even wider scope in the control of the traffic, as will be seen by the following:- " Municipal Powers. "In addition to the provisions for Sunday observance contained in this section of this Act, the Municipal Council of any Municipality in the Province of British j Columbia shall be deemed to have always had power to and may by by-law and con- currently with and in addition to the exercise of any powers conferred upon such Municipal Council by the Municipal Clauses Act or by any other Act of the Legis- j lature of the Province of British Columbia, provide and enforce all such further or other restrictions and prohibited hours and days and times within which liquor may be sold within such municipality, and times within which every bar-room and and every place containing any stock of liquor within such municipality must be securely closed and locked, so that no person may have access thereto, together with such provisions for continuous and free inspection of the premises directed to be closed and locked as such Municipal Council may think fit; and no such by-law, whether now in force or hereafter to be passed, shall be quashed or set aside or declared ineffectual or void by reason of any informality or by reason of any want of declaration of the power under and by virtue of which such by-law is passed, or on or for or by reason of any ground or matter whatsoever; but every such by-law shall be valid and effectual and shall be enforceable and inforced so as to carry out the intention of the Municipal Council passing said by-law as expressed therein.." HIGH SCHOOL WANTED. Effort Being Made to Ascertain the Number of Pupils Available. LICENSING IN VANCOUVER. The members of the school board would like to know the number of pupils there are in Prince Rupert who would attend a high school if they had the opportunity. There is no way to find out unless the parents who have children elligable for the high school were to notify Mr. Bennett of the school board or the principal of the public school at as early a date as possible. In order to get the government grant there must be at least 20 pupils and unless there are a number in the city who are unknown those passing the entrance this summer will not make up the re- less than fifteen bundles of stock changed hands. The stocks dealt in mainly were Portland, Star, Main Reef, Portland Canal and Red Cliff. These and all the other stocks dealt is held strong and were in good demand, and other offerings was brisk. There will be a board call at eleven o'clock every day except Sunday from now on, and it will be interesting to compare the rises and falls inlocal mining stocks dealt with in a local market with the quotations of the same stocks recorded by the Vancouver exchange. Hotel Men Opposed to Closing at Eleven o'clock. With respect to the proposed amendment to the Liquor License by-law the hotel men of Vancouver, through H. L. Edmonds objected to the proposal to close all bars in the city at 11 o'clock every night instead of 2 a.m. They asked that the hour be placed at 12 o'clock instead. The majority of the aldermen were in favor of the 11 o'clock closing. A change in the suggested amendments was also asked for so that hotel proprietors would not be made responsible for all debts contracted for all pa ts of the hotel, to provide for cases where the dining rooms were conducted under a separate management. These and other suggestions will be given consideration before the by-law is finally passed. List your property with us. We buy or sell; we get results.

Here is the manner in which, under the caption of "from the Far West," the Liverpool Mercury pays its compliments to our own Joseph Martin, M. P. "It is not often we hear the Trans- Atlantic twang in the house. It sounded a night or two ago. Mr. Joseph Martin, from western Canada, and now one of the members for St. Pancras, had a few plain words to say to the government about the taxation of land. He is a stoutish man, with ripe round face and he is inclined to baldness. He sticks his hands in his pockets, and plays with his keys and his money and talks in that frank unconventional way which is supposed to be the result of living on the prairies. He pronounces the word honourable as though it were "anruble." He was constantly referring to the "anruble gentlemen." The elaborate and rather complex procedure of the mother of parliaments was confusing to his virgin mind. When he discovered that he was allowed to point out that the government was wandering along the wrong path, but was prohibited from making suggestions along what path they should follow, he removed his left hand from his pocket, scratched the back of his head with his thumb and made a gesture which was nothing short of eloquent." NORTHERN STEAMSHIP Lowery Pushing Clouds. Col. Lowery is in mourning. His pet phase describing death has been robbed of its meaning and now the colonel is looking for a new one. The other morning he went up to the Ledge Office in Greenwood and found a note from the foreman-devil pinned on the door which read,"Gone to push clouds in Charles K. Hamilton's areoplane. P. S.

From the interest taken in the opening of the exchange this morning, it is plain to see the morning call is to be a daily event of absorbing interest. The man who carried a piece of quartz in hks pocket will give place to the man with the dope book, and puts, calls and options will be the vernacular instead of leads and dips and foot and hanging walls. Stocks will be the all absorbing subject of conversation from now on, mines coming in as a good second. There was a full attendance of members of the exchange, and quite a crowd of the general public looking on. The business went slowly at the start. J. R. Talpey, who acted as temporary caller, first desiring to get the stock offerings on the blackboard. These it will be noticed by the exchange report in another column, kept closely to the Vancouver quotations, later on the board will probably make its own, and for all the mines in this northern part of the province the local board should be making the quotations for Vancouver and the outside world. When the offerings were listed then came the bidding. It was plainly to be seen that not all the members had in a former state of existence attended board calls as a business duty. Their first bids were timid and tentative, and as if they wished they had a string on to snatch them back for fear they should be up. But after two or three sales were made, and they tumbled to the rules of the game, there was more confidence felt and by the closing hour they bid more readily. For an opening call it can be declared a great success and a promise that the exchange will have a prosperous future. This is demonstrated by the fact that no quired number. There will be about twelve or thirteen write on the entrance examinations this summer from Prince Rupert and Port Essington. The balance of the twenty will have to be made up from those in the city. The educationists are anxious to establish a high school class here this fall, if possible, and to the benefit of the parents it will be to assist in getting the necessary information. WORK ON SEWERS STARTED. S. P. MeMordie & Co. Have a Large Gang on Permanent System. S. P. MeMordie & Co. started a gang of men at work on their sewer contract this week. The district to be served is from Fulton street west to Eighth street and from Fraser street south to the water front. The contract was let by the Sewer Committee a couple of weeks ago, and the expense will be met by the $25,000 appropriated by the Provincial Government. This sewer will be the first of the permanent system, and it is designed to handle all sewage matter, but it is not for surface or basement drainage. A special system will have to be constructed for that purpose by the city at a later date.
