Kppen, the Murderer, Believed to |Be Hiding in City and His Arrest ilomentarily Expected��� Inquest On the Remains. (Special to the Optimist) .ondon, July 15.���London was never excited as it has become over the ppen murder case. New rumors in mection with it are springing up ry minute and are being published !h avidity by the newspapers. Extras taining the alleged developments he case were issued every few minutes ing this afternoon. There is no end to Ii excitement the case is producing. t is firmly believed that Crippen, the band of the woman, has not left for home in the United States but hiding in London. Scotland Yard officials have consequently a cordon around the city which they declare the criminal cannot break through and they express the confident opinion that he will soon be captured. ���The remains of the wife were so badly mutilitated and decomposed that it will be difficult to prove identity satisfactorily. This will have to be accepted on circumstantial evidence, Mr. Pieper, the government analyist, declares that the women was poisoned. A surgery expert has now the remains under examination and as soon as he is able to report the remains will be quietly buried. Mile. Levine, with whom Crippen is believed to be living, is being hunted for. It is believed she may be found masquerading as a boy, it having been discovered that Crippen bought a suit of boy's clothes recently that would be about a fit for the woman. The inquest is to be held tomorrow. There will be a large number of witnesses and the case gone into fully. APPEAL BARS BIBLE Catholics of Illinois Object to King James Version Springfield, 111., July 12.���Religious exercises, including the reading of the Bible, are barred from the public schools by a decision of the supreme court to-day. The Catholic residents of Winchester, Scott county, protested against the use of the King James version of the Bible in the public schools and commenced proceedings to stop it. The lower court refused to grant the writ, but the supreme court granted it. Justice Dunn wrote the opinion, but Justices Hand and Cartwright dissented. Among the things the ��� Catholics complained of were the daily reading of the Bible, the singing of certain songs and the recitation of the Lord's prayer. To Inspect Canadian Missions London, July 14.���Right Rev. Arthur Foley Winington-Ingram, Bishop of London, will sail for Canada in August to inspect the missions there. DIRECTORS CHOSEN FOR FAIR Will Send a Fine Exhibit to Vancouver Exhibition. Provisional Organization of the Skeena District Agricultural and Industrial Association���Starts Out With Cash in the Treasury. "The Skeena District Agricultural and Industrial Association" was last night organized with the election of a provisional directorate, and what is far more important the new organization started off with cash in the treasury. This announcement will give much pleasure to the out of town readers of the Optimist, as all the agriculturalists, miners, lumbermen, fishermen, and others of the district are enthusiastic for an opportunity to show Prince Rupert and her visitors what they can and what they are producing. The public meeting called by the mayor and held in the Board to Trade rooms last night was not a crowded assembly in the beginning, neither was it at all enthusiastic upon the subject for which it was called. It seemed at first, in fact, that the general opinion of those present was doubtful if a creditable exhibition could be got together this year, and all the difficulties in the way and' the objections to attempting such an enterprise came first. The discussion was long and interesting and in the end narrowed down to a clear-cut business proposition that is well worthy the support of all and will undoubtedly receive it. Mayor Stork called the meeting to order and George D. Tite was elected chairman and G. W. Nickerson secretary. The Mayor said that in connection with the assistance from the city council the council had expressed its hearty sympathy with the movement but did not feel disposed to go very far financially for the reason that they did not have the CONTINUED ON PAGE 8 IADE RIVETS OF EMPIRE WEAK |RD BERESFORD'S DECLARATION AT CECIL CLUB gland Has no War Staff, Says the treat Admiral.���No Possibility yl Reduction of Armaments Because of Germany.

(Special to the Optimist) St John, N. B., July 15.���Heavy rains added to the sufferings of the homeless at Campbelltown, and thoroughly soaked hundreds of families forced to sleep in the open air." Owing to a mistake the tents which were sent by the military department for the relief of the sufferers were delayed in reaching there. For a time, too, there was a general shortage of both food and clothing. Relief is now going in rap Illy and it is believed that all will be cared for. King George has sent a cable of sympathy and condolence with the sufferers and has enquired for further particulars. It is estimated that the fire loss will.. be three million. SIX MONTHS AT WESTMINSTER I.STEVE WOOGIST STOLE PLUMS FROM THE HAZELTON Judge Young Said Such Practices Must Be Stopped���Transportation Companies , Will Loose Heavily Every Year From This Cause. His Honor Judge Young yesterday afternoon passed sentence upon Steve Woogist, a foreigner who had been found guilty of breaking open a box of plums on board the Str. Hazelton.

(Special to the Optimist) London, July 15.���The first Bitter Creek prospectus issued so far is occupying a prominent place in many of the metropolitan newspapers. It is called the British Columbia Goldfields Company of Canada, and the capital is half a million dollars. The date when the stock books will be opened and the shares offered for sale is to be announced later. Ottawa, July 15.���W. Brock, Dominion director in geology, in a report made to the government upon the strike at Bitter creek, Portland canal, compares the general formation and the ore bodies to those of the Treadwell mine at Douglas, Alaska, which he cites as mines that are a world famous model of steady production. CONTRACT AWARDED TO OPERATE AN AIRSHIP LINE BETWEEN NEWPORT AND PIER AT NARRAGANSETT. Zodiac Dirigible Balloon Reaches New York���Craft to Be Used to Establish First Aerial Ferry Operated in the United States. New York, July 13.���According to this morning's American, a Zodiac dirigible balloon was brought into New York, July 4 aboard the steamer George Washington by Stuart Davis of Providence, R. I., who intends to try to establish the first actual ferry line in America. In the near future the balloon is to carry passengers on regular trips between Narragansett pier and Newport, a distance of eleven miles in an air line. It is expected it will be in operation within the next six weeks. The Zodiac is 100 feet long and non- rigid in construction. The craft is to sail only on calm days and it is ex- pected^the trip will be within an hour. If the venture proves successful other air-ships will be added to the fleet. For Government Wharf at Stewart to Gillette & Macdonald Gillette & Macdonald, contractors, who are building the Mann wharf at Stewart, are in town today on their way to Cassiar where they will look after business interests. To the Optimist Mr. Gillette said that the Canadian Northern was nearing completion. They had been delayed somewhat by the lack of lumber, and that is one thing they are looking after now. Government Wharf "We got the contract on Wednesday to build the new government wharf." said Mr. Macdonald, "and we have ordered the piling already and are having the lumber cut. This work will be started immediately and pushed, ahead as hard as we can make it go.

SIX HUNDRED DOLLAR TOUCH JAPAN ACTIVE IN MANCHURIA WILL THERE BE WAR OVER THE CLOSED DOOR QUESTION What the Mines at Fushan Acquired Under Roosevelt Treaty Will Produce Daily ��� Military Railway Changed to Normal Gauge. COMOX BLIND PIG MAN ASKED TO CONTRIBUTE LARGELY Chas, Gyr, Proprietor of Jack's Place, Fined $100 and $500 for License Fee ��� He Pleaded Not Guilty, But It Didn't Go. The city's exchequer was enriched this morning to the extent of $600 and $2.00 in costs. Chas. Gyr, one of the proprietors of Jack's Place was found guilty of having permitted to be sold on his premises spirituous liquor. It appears that the whiskey and beer were served by Chas. Horn, Gyr's partner. Horn has skipped and Gyr was summoned The offence was committed in the evening of July 10th when two men went in and first got a cigar from Gyr. Then London, July 14.���The new Russo- Japan treaty, which practically closes the open door to Manchuria, is not only being eagerly discussed by the home government and that of the United States, but the other countries are finding their commercial interests assailed by the closing of the treaty ports and are likely to take a hand in the settlement. Germany is particularly on the alert, maintaining her old position of hostility against Japan's aggression in Korea. The feeling in Berlin has been intensified by the return of the German ambassador to Japan. Baron Mumm von Schwartzenstein, who has made a tour of investigation in Korea and South Manchuria, reports among other remarkable evidences of Japanese activity that 2,500 tons of coal are being taken daily from the Fushan mines, which Japan acquired by the Portsmouth treaty. Three shafts had been sunk into coal seam 140 feet thick when the ambassador visited the mines. Two others are nearly ready, and a total production of 7,000 tons per day is expected. Baron Mumm says that the Antung- Mukden railroad, of 170 miles, which is being converted from a military narrow road to the normal gauge, will be finished in the autumn of 1912. The Korean government is paying six millions for the construction of a bridge across the Yalu, near Antung. The line has 183 bridges and 21 tunnels.

PRINCE RUPERT IN HARD LUCK COMES INTO PORT WITH ONLY ONE ENGINE WORKING The Other Broke Down on Way Up From Vancouver���Was Also Delayed Going South By Breaking of Conveyor at Nanaimo. The Prince Rupert arrived here at one o'clock yesterday morning, which was unexpected, as Mr. McMaster had been advised by wireless not to expect her here before yesterday afternoon. While on her way up and as she was passing Union Bay some part of one of her engines got out of gear, and the vessel stopped for a while. Then Capt. Johnson determined to keep going as long as he could with one engine, and after proceeding in this way for some time sent a wireless that his boat was "not to be expected here before the afternoon. But with only one engine an average speed of fourteen knots an hour was developed. This so surprised Captain Johnson that he exultingly said this morning���"There seems nothing that she can't do. I'll come from Stewart backwards as a test." The boat had over two hundred passengers, and before she resumed her journey from here to Stewart, at nine o'clock yesterday morning she had landed all the Prince Rupert freight. She carried no mail. But when she returned from Stewart this morning the repairs to the engine that bucked had been made and both engines were working splendidly. Although the Prince Rupert did not carry governmeut mail on her trip south, she had a pile of public mail big enough to keep purser Cooper busy sorting all the way to Vancouver. The Prince Rupert was also unfortunate on her down trip. She called to coal at Nanaimo and found that the conveyor had broken down. This delayed her four hours. Another Missionary Mr. Murdock, a missionary for the Presbyterian church in Canada, and who preached in the Presbyterian church last Sunday, left yesterday morning for Queen Charlotte Islands, where he will take charge of the mission fields there. Fine Team for Telkwa R. J. McDonnell returned from the coast the first of the week, bringing a fine team cf carriage horses, and on Wednesday started for Telkwa, where he is one of the owners of the New Telkwa hotel.���Omineca Herald. Draughts Never Cause Colds. Dr. Sir Frederick Treves astonished the public meeting by declaring that "the idea that colds are caused by draughts is absurd. No cold ever had such an origin. Colds are the origin not of draughts, but of stuffy rooms." Other famous London physicians back up Sir Frederick in holding that no cold was ever caused by a draught. SOLEMN WARNING TO ALL Suppose He Had Published "Among Those Present Were". Frederick, C. Beyer, a well-known Cleveland editor, told at a recent press banquet a newspaper story. "A Medina editor died," he said, "and was of course, directed to ascend to the Abode of the Just. But during the ascent the editor's journalistic curiosity asserted itself, and he said: "Is it permitted for one to have a look at���er���the other place?" "Certainly/ was the gracious reply, and accordingly a descent to the other place was made. Here the editor found much to interest him. He scurried about, and was soon lost to view. "His angelic escort got worried at last and began a systematic search for his charge. He found him at last, seated before a furnace, fanning himself and gazing at the people in the fire. On the door of the 'furnace was a plate saying, 'Delinquent Subscribers.' fef?$$'-*^ " 'Come/ said the angel to the editor, 'we must be'going.' f t-'ftHItltafe " 'You go on/ the editor answered, without liftingjiis eyes. 'I'm not coming. This is heaven enough for me.' " . '*' SERMON FOR PIONEERS The genial Captain R. H. Stretch has been again bursting into poetry. He is well known to all the far northerm pioneers on this coast having been chief hydrographer of the White Pass railway from Skagway over the forbidding summit of White Pass into Yukon territory. He still follows the fortunes of the engineer Hawkins and is now engaged on the Alaska Northwestern running from Cordova. Also, he still jiuts in a little spare time inditing a jingle, as the following is an evidence: Be a man! Be a man! Cast aside the city shackles, Yards of ribbon, miles of tape. Join the band of men that tackles Nature in her wildest shape. There is something more than slumber, Shelter, .food, and smiling face, If you would not die forgotten Unremembered by the race. Be a man! Be a man! Hew a way through mountain gorges. Let your threads be threads of steel; Pierce the summits, span the rivers, Heedless though your heads may reel. Link the outposts of the border, Open up each trackless space, Spend your life in making easy Pathways for the coming race. Be a man! Be a man! Do not think- the world is conquered; Half the world is yet unknown��� Deserts thirst for laughing waters, Swamps are foul in every zone. Open up Andean mountains��� Africa's forests need the light, Tropic isles await your coming, Be a factor in the fight. Be a man! Be a man! All your brain, and brawn and muscle Are not worth a thought today If they spend their power in pleasure��� Leave the cities, give them play! Better far a life of action, Motives great, or thought intense; Break a cog if such be needed, But let life be no pretense. Be a man! Be a man! Face the lonley wilderness; Honest work will never kill��� 'Twill but clear the brain of cobwebs;��� Better dreams their place will fill; Health will come and fame may follow, Or if beaten in the strife You have been no idle watcher You have been a part of life! Be a man! Be a man! Kipling's Latest Attempt. They talk of Kipling's latest rhyme; my friends come 'round and quote it, and all agree that it's a crime. I don't believe he wrote it. The man who used to beat the drum with lots of brawn and gristle- do you suppose he'd ever come to blowing on a whistle? I've heard a desert lion's roar, that sent the beasts retreating you cannot fool me on that score���I know when sheep are bleating. I've read my Kipling pretty well; I like his blooming phrases; his verses have a noble swell, and reek of smoke and blazes ; and he who wrote them was a man, a man whose voice was tender; his harp was fashioned on a plan that made the people wonder. And now there comes a pipe absurd from some milk-nurtured stripling, and you remark: "The voice you've heard is all that's left of Kipling?" Come off, my friends! Avaunt and scat! It was true fire that warmed him! He couldn't write such dope as that, unless you chloroformed him. ��� Walt Mason. Mercenary at Early Age. Elsie (aged seven)���Ma, I want a nickel.

The following advice to bridge players is given by D. B. Van Buren : With the years against you, never venture a weak heart declaration unless you have diamonds enough to pull through with. Holding a commanding club, don't hesitate to tell the cook it looks like rain, if the soup justifies the declaration. If you hold a good heart, don't discard it.

Victoria, July 12.���Telegraphic advices from John A. Fraser, M. L. A., for Cariboo, to the public works minister state that the new road providing through connection between Quesnel and Fort George will be completed this season, which will meet all actual demands as the river route would in any case be utilized during the summer for economic reasons. Mr. Fraser wires: "Road gang are working from both ends on the Blackwater road. Five miles at this end are completed. Unable to say how much from the other end but presume about the same." About thirty-five miles in all are required to complete the connection. The work is in charge of road Superintendent Malcolm McNiven, who in view of the increased demand for traffic facilities, deserted his other work of supervision, laid out the route personally and personally is seeing that construction is rushed, in the execution of emphatic directions from the minister. DEFENDS NEW LAW Deputy Attorney-General Says It Is No Hardship. Vancouver, July 13.���"There is a widespread misconception respecting the Companies' Act which recently went into force. It has been erroneously stated that every extra-provincial company doing business in this province will be obliged to pay taxes based on the amount of its capital. Now this is hardly the case, because all companies which have 50 per cent of their capital at the home office are exempt except for the payment of a fee of $250. This fee is not an annual tax but covers their business operations in British Columbia for all time to come. Ninety-nine out of every hundred extra-provincial companies will only have to pay that $250 fee," said Mr. H. A. Maclean, deputy attorney-general, Victoria, to The Province at the Hotel Vancouver today. "Scores of companies have either registered and paid the fee or have written asking for information and signifying their intention of complying with the law," he continued, "so this much criticized legislation involves no hardship on extra-provincial companies doing business in British Columbia, Once they register and file their incorporation papers the people of this province will have in opportunity of ascertaining the financial status of the companies they are doing business with. Other provinces of the Dominion have enacted similar laws." Simon's Fair for Kitchenware.

The accused said he was not present when the liquor was sold although one of the witnesses said that he went out to get the beer for them and that Horn came back with it. The whiskey was kept in the back room. Jack's Place is supposed to be a grocery store and a soft drink saloon, but the magistrate was convinced that hard drinks are also dispensed there. He explained to Gyr that it is as great an offense to allow liquor to be sold on his premises as to sell it himself. Then a fine of $100 was imposed.coupled with the hotel license fee of $500 for six months and $2.00 in costs. If Gyr does not settle, his premises will be seized and sold and if the proceeds from the sale of the stock does not satisfy the claim of the crown then Gyr will spend three months in New Westminster the guest of the Attorney-General. NOW LOOTING AT CAMPBELLT0WN local police unable to con- trol situation Many Safes Broken Into and Robbed of Their Contents���Troops Sent From St John for Protection of Property. (Special to the Optimist) St. John, N. B., July 15.���Looting has broken out in Campbelltown, and a request was made that troops be sent to the assistance of the police. The latter, it was reported, were unable to control the situation. With so many hundreds starving it was difficult to make arrests or to keep the people from helping themselves wherever an opportunity of obtaining food was presented. But the rabble had gone further and several safes had been broken into and their conlents stolen. Upon this representation troops have been sent from here. The whole of the burned districts are being ransacked and the debris worked over for valuables. The soldiers will guard the property and prevent further disturbance.

SIX MONTHS AT WESTMINSTER continued from page 1 penitentiary. In this case he did not intend to be very severe as the prisoner had a previous good character, but he was bound to punish him and to set an example to all others who are in the habit of taking an orange, or plums or anything else that is on a ship. Thus Woogist was given six months. Ever since navigation up the Skeena river began the transportation companies have been troubled with people breaking open the boxes and helping themselves to the contents. Boxes of fruit, liquor, groceries and everything that is tempting have been broken into and the companies have had to make good the loss which amounts to several thousands of dollars yearly. The captain of the Hazelton recently put a man on to watch the cargo and Woogist was the first victim. All others caught doing the same thing will be treated similarily. Steve could not talk English very well and an interpreter was secured, but once during the trial Steve got excited and talked English quite fluently with one of the witnesses whose evidence he did not agree with, and he had to be called to order. After sentence had been passed Woogist wanted the option of paying a fine, but the judge would not stand for it.

A shipment of thirty-two. sacks of copper and gold ore, or ove. a ton and a half, was made this week by the Ikeda Mines Limited. The ore was brought over on the Str. Prince Albert on Tuesday last and was gathered up by the Prince Rupert this morning and taken south. This is the first ore shipped out of here this year and the first by the new owners of the Heed* Mines Ltd., and the heavy sacks created no little interest among the people on the wharf. The mines from the Islands will in a short time send large quantities of ore via Prince Rupert and it wfll be one of the main cargoes out of here. New Strike Near Babine Reports have been received of a new strike near the southern end of Babine lake on Fifteenmile creek which flows into the lake from the west. C. S, Anderson was the pioneer prospector in that vicinity and his Silver Fox claim and others are under bond to Portland people at the present time Othere men went in this year and more claims were staked on new finds which are claimed to be even better than the first locations. Samples of the first ore found assayed as high as 480 ounces in silver. At that point Babine lake is only about fourteen miles from the location line of the G. T. P., with practically no divide to cross. Silver Cup's New Tunnel The No. 2 tunnel being driven on the Silver cup picked up the ore last Saturday when the miners broke through the footwall rock into the ore. Owing to the presence of slide rock at the point where the vein is covered, it was decided to start the tunnelon the footwall side, to strike the lead at an angle. No reports have been received further than that the ore had not been cross-cut, but merely broken into about a foot. Mr. Campbell is much pleased with the show ing.

REMOVE THE POLES A Well Known Member of Dominion House Gives Valuable Hint. W. M. German, M. P. for Welland county, Ontario, with Mrs. German are guests at the Inn today. Mr. German is one of the cleverest and best known members of the Dominion House, having frequently been mentioned for a position in the cabinet and on the Railway Board. At the present time Mr. and Mrs. German are taking a holiday trip in the west and included Prince Rupert in their itinerary. Speaking to a member of the Optimist Mr. German said "Your city and its progress astounds me. In ten years you will have a wonderful city. There is one thing which strikes me as worthy of your attention. Now that you are preparing plans for permanent streets your council should insist that every telegraph and telephone and light pole should be removed from the streets and the wires buried. It is easily done now. Nothing mars the beauty of a city more than ugly poles and wires, and every city of any consequence is trying to get rid of them." Mr. German was keenly interested in the city and gathered a lot of information. Brown Had Only Girls. Little Mabel(proudly)���We have a new baby at our house. Neighbor���A new baby. Where did you get it ? Mabel���Well, we used to take 'em from Dr. Brown, but we got this one from Dr. Peters. When Your Pipe Goes Out When the ashes fill up the fragrant bowl, And the flickering embers die , And the last sweet puff, like a winging soul, Escapes from your lips like a sigh, Then you wake from your dream with a sudden start And rub your eyes as in doubt, While maybe a pain sort of tugs at your heart. It's the way when your pipe goes out. ���Spokane-Review.

There were so many hundred calls upon the council for expenditure that although they would have like to have voted $1000 toward the proposition they felt unable to do so. Aid. Naden asked what the estimated expense of the fair would be and its probable assets. This was told by Chairman Tite, who stated at length what had been done by that association, all of which has already been reported in these columns. Mr. Nicholson, who has done all the hard work in connection with the project, added to this report and made it clear there was a good fund of enthusiasm for the project to draw on in the outlying districts. From this point on every possibility and every objection was thoroughly discussed Mr. Morris contending all the time that although not a large exhibition could be arranged for this year he thought a start should be made for future years. The Board of Trade had taken the matter 'tp last year bat had had to abandon it and it would never do to give it 'up again. Mr. Nickerson said the outlying people had been appointed members of the general committee and it would never do to back down now. Mr. Morris proceeded to show they could get organized and make something of a show. They could organize and incorporate and thus have a permanent organization which would be able to make a large fair next year. Mr. Manson spoke in a similar trend, explaining the course to be followed, which was added to by Mr. Morrison, who had had practical experience of agricultural fairs. Gradually the discussion, in which all present took a part, worked itself down to practical issues, and Mr. Morrison chry'stallized t'he prevailing sentiment into a motion that the meeting proceed to form an association. This was carried and the next step was long discussed. It ended in a motion by Mr. Morrison that the meeting proceed to appoint a board of provisional directors and this was done by the election of the following: Messrs. Morris, Naden, Button, Manson, Christiansen, Peck, Dawson, Morrison, Thompson, Crippen, Mobley, Halsey, Stephens, Nelson.Sawle Stewart, Tite, John Kirkpatrick.Stork, Hilditch. Aid. Mobley pointed out that the member's of the council had meetings every night and therefore would be unable to give their attendance to the meetings of the directorate. Aid. Naden said practically the same thing, so other names were substituted. for the members of the city council. Mayor Stork and Mr. Manson were made provisional honorary presidents of the association, and then the meeting adjourned and the directorate met forthwith and proceeded to business. It had been pointed out all through the meeting that the most important point was the selection of a good hustler, on regular salary, to act as secretary. He would really have charge of the whole affair, doing all the work and saddled all the responsibility for the result. A committee of three was appointed to attend to this matter. Among other things decided was that an exhibit should be prepared, if possible, in time for the Vancouver exhibition, and also the same exhibit that was made here to be sent to the New Westminster fair in October. In the foregoirig an important feature was overlooked. Upon the carrying of Mr. Morrison's motion that the meet- proceed to organize a motion was passed that everyone be invited to show his bona fides by immediately paying his membership fee to the association. This they cheerfully did, so that the new secretary will have real cash to begin his duties with. Mr. Halsey acted as secretary of the provisional directorate and he was strongly urged to accept the position of permanent secretary. The next general meeting will be on Saturday evening, when the directorate will report. COLD QUARTZ FOUND Another Strike Made Beyond Bitter Creek That Looks Good Word was received in town this morning of another gold strike made beyond Bitter Creek. A few days ago a lone prospector who had been out for several weeks tramping over the hills blew into Stewart and left Mason and Simpson a good sized piece of gold quartz which is very rich in mineral. A piece of pure gold the size of the head of a small hat pin was picked out with the fingers and* the precious metal can be seen with the naked eye. The prospector had no wonderful story to tell. He did not say how extensive the find was nor the depth of the vein. He said he only took a couple of blasts and then returned to town with the samples. A number of Stewart people have gone put to see it and will report in a few days. As yet the strike has caused no particular flutter but more wil! be known when it has been assayed and the party who have started return. Ottawa, July 14.���Maj. Moodie of the Royal Northwest Nounted Police will accompany Earl Grey to Hudson Bay. His excellency will sail for Canada on Friday and start for his Hudson Bay trip about the middle of August. AMATEUR NIGHT TO-NIGHT Some Curious Performances May Be Expected at the Empress "David Harum" succeeded in bringing out a full house at the Empress theatre last night, and the big audience went away much impressed with the clever work of Carl Caldwell as David Harum, the banker and horse trader. Tonight the company are repeating "The Great Divide," but the most interest is centered in the big amateur contests, which immediately follow the play tonight. Quite a number of stunts are booked, and the contest part promises to be a hummer. Tomorrow night the company closes its engagement here with "Jesse James" one of the most sensational melodramas ever written. It is from events in the lives of the James boys from the burning of their home in Springfield, Mo., up to the death of Jesse at the hands of Bob Ford and the subsequent surrender and pardon of Frank James. While very melodramatic the play is full of good comedy, which will be handled by Carl Caldwell as " Lije," a typical Missouri negro. Government Men J. Troddu and W. B. Gaubreau, of Victoria, returned from Stewart this morning and are on their way south. They have been up in this district gathering information for the department of public works at Ottawa. Several contractors from the South have been in Prince Rupert lately picking up laborers to work on contracts below.
