Talpey, Pattullo, Harrison, Leonard & Major Gibson. The name of the exchange has not been definitely decided upon nor has the location of the offices.

THOMAS DUNN, Chairman Electric Light Committee, CHARITY or BUSINESS ��� Which? ��� 'T'HE germ of both Life and * Fire Insurance had its rise in the custom of taking up a collection for the stricken family. We all chipped in in the hope and expectation that if we were snuffed out by either sickness or accident, the neighbors would do as much for us. Life insurance avoids the uncertainty of leaving things to neighbors. It is a business plan, founded on laws of mathematics and sound economy, to provide for those dependent on us in ease of death. Life insurance is no longer a charity, or quasialtruism, any more than fire insurance is. Life insurance is a duty and a privilege. To eliminate the distressing results of death, through insurance, payable to business Eartners, wife, or children, seems ; ut common prudence. Lord Nelson in his will left his wife and daughter "to the tender care of the British Nation, to which I have given my life." And the wife and daughter gravitated to the Poor House; for what is everybody's business is nobody's business. Don't leave your loved ones to the care of the public or Ihe neighbors. The neighbors may have trout lea of their own. Cut out the risk and worry by insuring in the Sun \m of Canada The cost is nominal; the results phenomenal. Let us talk the matter over witli you. F. B.

THE DAILY OPTIMIST "������To-day The Optimist puts on long trousers. Henceforth it will be issued fdaily and weekly. Like most businesses in this country, it has matured rapidly. h^rVn'onths age The Optimist turned out its first weekly on a hand press. To- Cday it is issued from one of the finest printing plants in Western Canada. The 1 first Daily is the same size as the first Weekly. The Weekly was popular from its first issue, and the subscription list grew amazingly. To-day it is circulated all over America and beyond. Every mail brings in new subscribers, who want the best paper from the best town in this new and wealthy city. The Daily starts oil' with a liberal patronage and prospects brighter than the issue of July 1st, 1909. The efforts of a full staff of experienced newspaper men, printers and machine operators will be to make this paper a credit to the city and to warrant it a profitable patronage. The policy of the Daily Optimist will be Prince Rupert commending and suggesting without bias that which it believes to be for the best interests of the city, and condemning without fear or favor anything which careful investigation shows to be otherwise. There are no strings to its editorial policy no malice, no deadwood and no susceptibility to dishonest influences. The Optimist's ambition is to deliver a first-class paper which will be popular and prosperous. The Optimist job department is worthy of mention here. It has been turning out work which is much superior to that of ordinary printing shops and second to none on the whole coast. The artists in charge of it are the best that good salaries can procure, and their product is turned out with the highest grade material ffhd stock. The new Monotype machine is a marvel of ingenuity and perfection. It is the only one in British Columbia. A brief description of this machine will be given in a few days. There is no kind of printing (excepting poor printing) which the plant is not prepared for. THE OPTIMIST-It's Auvic. COMPANY WILL BE INTERESTED. General Manager E. ,1. Chamberlain and Land Commissioner G. U. Ryley, of the G. T. P., arrive in Prince Rupert to-night. It has been officially given out that they come to greet the Prince Albert���the new G. T. P. boat which is to do the island service. Coming as they do on the eve of the first municipal election it is not unreasonable to suppose lhat the contest is of as much or more interest to them than the boat. The G. T. P. has been charged with over one- half tho total assessment of the city (which they did not appeal against) and they will thus pay Ibis year one-half of the total taxes collected. Naturally it is to be presumed that the Company is not going to let the election of the first city council pass without at least coming to look the field over. The Company's interest will probably be more than a passing one. * It must not be forgotten that Prince Rupert is still a Grand Trunk city and is likely to be for many years to come. There is, however, no particular objecttion to that so long as the citizens get (and give) a squa '������ deal. The city needs the Grand Trunk's favor, and the Company needs the city's goodwill. The man who is big enough to do a large job, broad enough to treat with the Company, and at the same time honorably protect and advance the welfare of the citizens, is the man we want at the head of civic affairs. The man who will be elected Mayor should have the approval of both the Citizens and the Company, oooo When a newspaper in its hatred and election frenzy casts malicious reflections on the nationality of some of the biggest merchants and best citizens of Prince Rupert, it ceases to be a factor for good, or even an influence. This city has a large enough problem on its hands in the oriental labor question without creating a strife or ill-feeling between the various nationalities of white men. Prince Rupert is bound to be cosmopolitan city, and every white man of clean character is welcome. oooo The public meeting on Tuesday evening promises to result in a new batch of municipal candidates. The "ticket" will probably be relieved of carrying the whole burden of municipal criticism now. oooo Candidates should not lose sight of the fact that good ideas and energetic application of them will be more popular with the public than photographs and cigars. oooo The day of cheap rock work is over. The past winter saw many lot excavating contracts let at from $1.10 to $1.86 per yard; but now that heavy blasting is prohibited, the station gangs no longer see anything but hard Work and no money in such contracts. Lastweek several gangs threw up their jobs simultaneously, and the opening of spring work on the railroad is drawing the laborers up the river. Apparently the railroad work does not look too bad after all. oooo The citizens who are putting in private sewers in Section 1 are to be commended on their enterprise. It not only requires a heavy expenditure to provide conveniences for themselves, but benefits the health prospects of the whole city. It is the right kind of spirit and shows faith in the city.

Mr. French, of the Hudson Hay Co., was in tlie city last week and left on Sunday on the Port Simpson for the canyon antl Hazelton. At the canyon he will arrange for the reconstruction of the two warehouses which collapsed last winter under the weight of snow. The new buildings will be erected at once. The one below the canyon will be much larger than the old one, in fact, all tlie available land will be utilized. The one above will be about the same size. Mr. French will be away two or three weeks and expects that before he comes back the warehouses will be nearly completed. Asked by the Optimist what the prospects were for the season's operations, Mr. French statetl that they were very bright, especially in the freight line. The immense quantity of railway supplies to go up the river would alone guarantee full cargoes, while the local freight is increasing very rapitllv. The Hudson Bay Co. have not decided to put on any new boats this season.

EASTMAN'S Third Avenue Up-tO-date Mdl S StCMfe Prince Rupert RUPERT REAL ESTATE Is Active in Vancouver and Victoria Mr. Planitz Sold 42 Lots. Mr. T. Planitz, of tlie British Columbia Real Estate Syndicate, has returned after a three weeks trip to Seattle, Vancouver anil Vietoria. He reports a very successful trip. To the Optimist he Btated that he took down 42 lots with him antl sold them all without effort'. He could have easily sold many more. While he made his headquarters in Victoria, fcwhere he established a branch of the B. C. R. E. S., he said that wherever he went he found that public opinion favored Prince Rupert. Everyone is talking about this city and they have tbe utmost, confidence in the future development. He expressed himself as confi- fident that in a few days or weeks a great many people from the three cities he visited will come up here with plenty of capital to invest in Prince Rupert real estate. He looks for heavy trading in a short time. The weather in Vancouver and Vietoria has been very backward. While he was there it was cold with lots of rain and snow. That feature had a tendency to keep tbe people at home. Speaking of the local trading in real estate Mr. Planitz said that the lust two days quite a number of middle priced property had been turned over and there was a steady improvement. ** in**p]** 'i*1 Advertise in The Optimist.
