Five Cents EARLY MORNING LAUNDRY BLAZE CHINAMEN CAUGHT ASLEEP DASH FOR THEIR LIVES Building Entirely Burnt Out in Spite of Firemen's Efforts and Prompt Response to Call.���Alex. Manson's House Endangered. About four o'clock this morning fire broke out in the Chinese Laundry owned by King Ti, and situated on Fifth avenue between McBride and Bowser streets, and next door to the house of Alex. Manson. The inmates of the laundry were all asleep at the time and had .the barest possible escape with their lives for the fire evidently started in the basement of the building, and had got a firm grip before it was noticed. The flames spouting from the ground floor windows were noticed by L. Crippen who ran to the nearest fire alarm box two blocks away. Within seven minutes Fire Chief Mclnnis had turned out with full force and the city's new hose reel was in for its baptism of fire. Meanwhile the frightened chinamen, seven or eight in all, had come scrambling pell mell into the open, the flames hot on their heels. A couple of chests were dragged with them but little else was saved One chinaman complained of injuries sustained in the scramble for life in the darkness. He had fallen over a stump. Prom the first Fire Chief Mclnnis saw that there was little chance of saving the old frame building dry as tinder after tfie recent hot weather. But the sparks were flying over Mr. Manson's house, and piles of lumber about the laundry were catching continually. The nearest hydrant is situated about three blocks from the laundry at the comer of Cotton street, and the whole length of hose was employed to get the water to t he blaze. Wires stretched here and there about the laundry hindered the swift operation of the hose from point to point. So fierce was the heat at the height f the fire that a number of bags of coal piled near the laundry caught. They were drenched and dragged away. The bridge leading to the laundry across the sewer trenches there also caught in the scorching heat. Mr. Manson was roused from his sleep to a sense of the danger by the crackling and glare of the fire when it juBt reached the laundry windows. "It was a very picturesque fire when at its height���about as pretty a fire as you could see" he said as he satisfied himself that the danger was over "but it was rather too near to win my unqualified admiation." The mist lying low in the hollows was wonderfully illuminated by the ruddy glow from the blazing building and the dark mountains towering behind in- tensfied the glare. Just as the dawn light broke over the mountain crests the fire sank sputtering into hissing blackness under the steady stream of water, and today's sunshine reveals only a pile of charred wood and tangled wires whavre the laundry stood. Alex. Manson is glad no one was hurt, "ut not altogether sorry the laundry * no more. "There won't be another erected there" he says. "The by-law restricting these laundries to a certain Oistnet will be passed pretty soon now." LOST HER HEIRLOOMS Countess Minto One of the Victims Of Hotel Robbery (Special to the Optimist) Winnipeg, aSept. 14.���The Countess Minto, who had her family heirlooms stolen at the Alexandria Hotel here, was only one of the victims of an organized gang who have robbed the Canadian Pacific guests and passengers from Vancouver to Fort William. The police are now working on a clue. Manufacturers Invited In accordance with the resolution passed by the Board of Trade on Monday evening, aSecretary M. M. Stephens this morning sent a telegram to'John Hendry, vice president of the Manufacturers' association, cordially inviting the delegates to the conference to visit Prince Rupert. ELLISON LOTS Property In the First G. T. P. Terminal is in Big Demand Ellison townsite lots are selling very rapidly and there will be a lot of property in the first G. T. P. terminal point east of here owned right in Prince Rupert. Since the sale was announced in the Optimist a large number of local people have called at C. D. Newton's office to get further information and not a few of those have invested in one or more lots. Each mail is also bringing in enquiries and the sale promises to be a big success. Ellison is in the heart of a very rich country and it will also be an important railway town. CRIPPEN CASE IS COLLAPSING QUESTION OF IDENTITY OF BODY IS ARGUED Seattle Beats Tacoma Vancouver, Sept. 14.-(Speciai)���There was no league game at Vancouver yesterday. Seattle beat Tacoma by a score of seven to two. Government Analyst Says Even Sex Cannot Be Determined Without Anatomical Investigation���Famous Playwrights Attend Hearing. (Special to the Optimist) London, aSept. 14.���In the Bow street police court this morning Dr. Pepper, government analyst, repudiated the testimony relative to the sex of the lime-eaten body found in the Crippen cellar and previously declared to be that of Belle Elmore, the wife of Crippen There was no question, he said, that it was a human body, but it would be impossible to determine the sex without an anatomical investigation. The doctor was put through a gruel ling cross-examination by Barrister Arthur Newton, who appears for the accused. He brought out some damaging admissions from Dr. Pepper, who had previously maintained that the identity of the body had been established beyond a doubt. It is now believed that unless more convincing evidence is brought forward the case against Crippen must collapse. Dr. Crippen said the scar on the body was old and he believed it had resulted from a surgical operation. The body had evidently been buried between four and eight months when discovered. Miss Le Neve is elated over the success which is attending the efforts of barrister Newton, but as a result of the nervous strain she is undergoing a break down is immiment. The dramatic features of the case are appealing to playwrights, and upon special permits from the judge Sir William Gilbert, Sir John Hare and H. B. Irving were present at the hearing this morning. FRASER RIVER VALLEY FIRES MANY OF RANCHERS HOMES ARE DESTROYED Heavy Pall of Smoke Over Whole Valley.���Bush Fires Declared To Be Beyond Control.���Stock Burned Up and Crop Badly Damaged. (Special to the Optimist) New Westminster, Sept. 14.���The whole of the Fraser River valley is one great pall of black smoke from bush fires. These fires range for miles and miles and are utterly beyond control. Unless heavy rain comes the damage will be immense. Many of the ranchers' homes and stock have already been destroyed and many others are threatened. The crops are also badly damaged. White Rock is still menaced. All the animals which had sought refuge in the woods have been forced out on to the beach.

AIRSHIPS FOR YUKON Government Surveyors May Use Them For Inaccessible Spots FORMER AMBASSADOR Joseph H. Choate Threatened With Expulsion From Bar CROWDING OUT THE AMERICANS Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 12.��� Charges that Joseph P. Choates of New York, former ambassador from the United States to Great Britain, has been guilty of violation of the constitution of the American Bar Association in a failure to uphold the honor of the profession of the law, and a petition that he be expelled from the bar association, were presented to that body today and referred to the committee on grievances. The charges were filed by James R. Watts, of New York, through his attorney, George W. Chamler of this city, a member of the bar association. The charges are that Mr. Choate has violated the confidence of his clients, James R. Watts and wife; that he violated the canons of ethics of the American Bar Association; has been guilty of divers and many offences in violation of good morals and fair dealings, and has brought dishonor and disgrace upon the American Bar Association. The first charge has to do with certain litigation entrusted to Mr. Choates and his associates in the firm of Evarts, Choate & Beaman of New York city and in an associate partnership with Treadwell of Cleveland Ohio. BONDED NINE CLAIMS Development Work To Start On Princess Royal Island Dawson, Y. T., .Sept. 10. .���Thomas Reilly, head of the international boundary survey, covering the section be tween Glacier and Ladue creeks, has arrived here after having finished his work. The members of the survey started yesterday by steamer for the Coast. Parties covering the section north of the Yukon river, working toward -Porcupine river, are expected here within a week or so. Most of the work south of the Yukon river is completed except through the Alaskan alps, which are declared impenetrable by either horses or mushers. It is now proposed that an airship be used to reach certain points otherwise in accessible. This may be done next year or the season following. INFANTILE PARALYSIS Disease Spreading at Alarming Rate Through Ontario Hamilton, Ont., Sept. 10.���The dread epidemic of infantile paralysis which is spreading over Ontario is growing in Hamilton, where the outbreak was first discovered, at an alarming rate. It is estimated that there are over a hundred cases here now. Yesterday the disease claimed another adult and today two more adults. In Mount Hope and vicinity three adults have died within the past two days. The authorities say they are powerless to check the epidemic. Messrs. A. B. Clabon and Fred M. Wells have taken a bond on the D, L. S. group, consisting of nine crown granted claims, situated near Surf Inlet, Princess Royal Island, from the owner, Mr. Earnest A. Cleveland of Vancouver. Work has been carried on for the past three months under Mr. Wells' management with gratifying results. A company is being formed under the name of the Surf Inlet Gold Mines, Lts., to take over the D. L. S. group and also the water record of 10,000 inches held by the surf Inlet Power Company. Mr. Andrew G. Larsen visited the property in June and made a report and recommendations for future development. Here are two parallel veins about 100 feet apart, on the larger of which a tunnel has been driven for 300 feet on the vein. At a point about 225 feet from the portal a crosscut has exposed fifteen feet of ore which averages $15 gold per ton. A shaft has been sunk sixty-five feet from the surface directly above this point, a crosscut at the bottom of which shows the vein to be nineteen feet in width of similar ore as that below. A turnel has also been driven which crosscuts the upper and smaller vein at 100 feet, which has exposed three to four feet of ore which averages $30 to $40 in gold per ton. The ore is a quartz with some sulphides and is easily concentrated. TWO HUNDRED LOST Perished In Fire Which Followed Explosion in Mine (Special to the Optimist) Ter re Haute, Ind., Sept. 14.���It is be lieved that at least two hundred perished in the explosion at the Dugger mine in Sullivan county. The workings caught fire after the explosion. Scores of men are now struggling to gain an entrance in the hope of rescueing some of those entombed. CANADA WILL PROTECT HER WHALING INDUSTRY Monopoly So Long Enjoyed by American Poacher Is to be Exploited by Canadians From Vancouver to the Arct'c Ocean Vancouver, B. C, Sept. 11.���Representing themselves and McKenzie-Mann interests, Col. Davidson and A. D. McRae, millionaires from Winnipeg and Vancouver, are planning to exploit Arctic whaling. Two steamers and a sailing ship will be despatched to the Arctic regions next spring from Vancouver, and a station will be established on the mainland or on one of the many groups of islands. The entire region east of the boundary line between Alaska and the Dominion, and extending to the North pole, is claimed to be wholly within British territory. It embraces a vast archipelago, notice of ownership of which has been proclaimed to the world by Canada, through the British foreign office. In the summer months the waters adjacent to the mainland, including the estuary at the mouth of the Mackenzie river, are open and can be navigated by sea-going vessels. This has been demonstrated by the success of American whalers which have been poaching in these waters for nearly twenty years. The fact that the owners of these vessels imported goods for trading purposes and liquor resulted several years ago in the Dominion government establishing a mounted police station and placing a customs officer on Herschel island, the rendezvous of the fleet. The vigilance of the authorities was rewarded by the collection of thousnads of dollars of revenue, as well as the suppression of the illicit sale of intoxicants. Conjecture is rife as to what policy the Dominion government will adopt in these northern waters, now that Canadian capital is about to exploit the industry. There seems to be no doubt that the American poachers who have enjoyed a monopoly there can be warned not to invade Canadian waters if the Ottawa authorities assert their rights. A Bag That Wasn't J. G. Scott who returned last night from a hunting expedition around Shaw- atlaus Lake gives an amusing account of his experiences. The bag might have been four deer and a bear. The reason for the "might have been" about that bag is alleged to be J. G. Scott. Mr. Scott admits that he fired all right at those deer, and that he squared up to the bear in the bush, but the bullets didn't find their billet, and Bruin still roams the forest while no one is more amused at the whole thing than the jovial J. G. himself. DRYDOCK FOR ST JOHN Sir Arthur Perks Arrives To Examine Facilities Offered St. John, Sept. 10.���Sir Robert Perks, the eminent English engineer, is in the for the purpose of, he stated, looking closely to the facilities for the large drydock and shipbuilding plant which it is proposed to build here. Sir Robert confirmed the belief that a steel shipbuilding plant is a part of the scheme. He did not give a definite answer, but said action by Arthur Perks & Co. would largely depend on the aid given by the government. / ft THEPRINC|E RUPERT OPTIMIST UNDSAY'S^ra^ G. T. P.

Prince Rupert MEMBER FOR THE ISLANDS QUEEN CHARLOTTE WANTS| ONE OF HER OWN Agitating for Separate Constitution and Representation in the Legislative Assembly���Thompson Low one of the Prime Movers Among the recent arrivals in the city from the northern districts of British Columbia is Mr. Thompson Low, of Queen Charlotte Islands, who is a guest at the Leland hotel, says The Vancouver-News Advertiser. Mr. Low is a resident of Pacifico, Q. C. I., and, naturally thinks that there is no part of British Columbia which is more full of promise than that particular locality in which he is interested. He had i the pleasure of being the intimate and confidential companion of Hon. Thos. Taylor, minister of public works, and of the hon. member for Skeena, Mr. William Manson, M. L. A., in the trip of the latter on the tour of inspection recently made over the district. A chat with Mr. Low is a treat as he is an Imperialist and a prvoincial- ist, with the necessary localization, whose equal is difficult to meet. Ardently Imperial in his sympathies and with a thorough knowledge of the proper relation of the affairs of one part of a section of the empire to another he looks over Queen Charlotte Islands with as envious, or unenvious, an eye as Robinson Crusoe looked over the fabled island of Juan Fernandez. Mr. Low keeps himself well imformed in matters political, both as to provincial, Dominion and Imperial affairs. On the question of provincial matters he asys that there is no doubt that before the next general election there will be a demand for an order-in-council constituting the Queen Charlotte group of islands a separate constituency entitled to personal representation in the legislative assembly. "There are a few local jealousies," said Mr. Low, between the several towns, cities and centres on the islands, but in view of the combined and concentred interests of the whole of these places, common sense must prevail and no personal element could enter into the question of a candidate's popularity or fitness for representation in the parliament of the province. It is too big a territory to be represented by any one man under the existing circumstances, and while we have every confidence in our present emmber, the time is not far away when we shall need to have a specific presentation of our specific needs before the floor of the house. There is some prospect that the cabinet will look favorably on this increase of representation." That a strong agitation for separate constitution and representation as a district is likely to emanate from the Queen Charlotte Islands man be taken upon Mr. Low's word. Mr. Low will not be a candidate himself. SUPERB SOIL FOR FRUIT GROWING IN UP-RIVER VALLEYS ACCORDING TO PRACTICAL TEST J. R. Anderson Late Deputy Minister of Agriculture is More Than Satisfied After Special Trip to Best Soil For Fruit Growers. PLACER IN THE NAAS Alluvial Gravels Discovered on a Tributary Stream Prospectors who returned from the Naas river country to Hazelton caused a rush to a section where it is reported placer ground has been found. The particular locality is said to be a creek called White creek, a tributary of the Naas river. White creek is said to have its source in the Bitter creek glacier, and the small tributaries flowing into it are said to have returned a large amount to the pan. The men who came in with the news made the trip over the Bitter creek glacier and those who went to the strike are said to taken the route over the Bitter creek divide. Must Not Read Newspapers Paris, Sept. 12.���A despatch from Rome states that the Pope has started a crusade against "modernism" by issuing a regulation forbidding the young clergy to read newspapers and periodicals which might distract them from their studies. After travelling for some weeks with some friends on a journey of inspection in the up river district J. R. Anderson late Deputy Minister of Agriculture arrived on Tuesday in Prince Rupert from Hazelton. The purpose of his journey has been principally to investigate soil conditions in the up river valleys with a view to fruit growing. Mr. Anderson has visited Hazelton, Sealeyville and Ellison, and has studied the district from the point of view of a fruit farmer, and has formed a splendid opinion of the capabilities of the soil in this valley. "You can safely say" he told The Optimiist "that in my opinion the soil there is for fruit growing as good as would be hardly fair as it possesses the advantage over the Okanagan that it requires no artifical irrigation. The sub- irrigation is ample even in the driest year. It was ample this year, and I am told this is a particularly dry year. "I saw some splendid apple trees growing at Kitsumkalum, and plum trees and cherries flourish there. As regards the Kootenay district, in my opinion this valley is even better and it is certainly ahead as regards soil for the soil is free from stones and much more level. I consider the upper branch of the valley would be preferable for apples than the lower branches. "One remarkable thing I noticed about this valley. That is that no frost has yet attacked the most delicate plants. The potato leaves are all green there. Now I have just recently been at Comox in Vancouver Island and there noticed that already a severe frost has occurred this year blighting tender growth. Evidently it has not reached the upper river valleys. "Of course the ground is well wooded but principally with poplars and cotton wood which are easily cleared. There is an abundance of water supply for all purposes. I went over the ground in the vicinity of Ellison townsite and the ground in the upper branches of the valley which is even more easily cleared and at a very moderate expense. The soil gives ample depth for fruit of all kinds. I saw beautiful sweetpeas and asters growing at Hazelton. The district above Meanskinisht is a great strwaberry country, and here too I saw a wonderful growth of wheat. Mr. Vital Soucie who has a patch of his land 50 ft by 100 ft under strawberries there of the Magoro variety took thirty-two crates of fruit off there this season and sold it at an average of 25 cents a pound. "All the soil of these valleys needs is aeration by means of cultivation to make it magnificent for producing fruit without any manuring. That is my opinion after specially travelling the district to test the soil with some friends who mean to take up fruit ranching there." G. W.

After having been without a permanent pastor for nearly a year the members of the First Preibyterian church have been looking forward to the arrival of Rev. W. F Kerr who is to arrive today. He will be accompanied by a brother pastor and member of the presbytery of New Westminster from Vancouver and will, be inducted to his new charge on Thursday evening. Rev. W. F. Kerr is a young man and promising preacher who has been excellently recommended for the work he is to undertake in Prince Rupert. He has been engaged in mission work in various parts of Canada, and his zeal as a student recently earned for him a scholarship enabling him to travel to Germany where he has during the past year been engaged in completing his theological course. He will be welcomed to Prince Rupert by several members of the board of management of the church, and prominent members of the congregation. There is a small financial burden upon the First Presbyterian church at present, a matter of $600 which consists partly of a debt to the building fund, and partly of a deficit arising from the unsettled state of the congregation and impossibility of organizing .the contributions systematically during the growths of supply services in which the expenditure has of course continued as usual. Steps are now being taken to wipe this liability off entirely and let Rev. Mr. Kerr enter upon an absolutely unburdened charge. A circular letter to the members and adherents of the church has just been sent out by Dr. J. O. Reddie, chairman of the board of management, urgently requesting them to make a special effort to raise the amount required. A committee of the board of management is to wait upon members and adherents of the" church during this and the following week. It is intended that the $600 will be raised entirely within the congregation itself. By and by the congregation hopes to have matters forward enough to begin building their new church on the site already secured for it, and a rapidly increasing membership is confidently anticipated.

Question of Salaries For Members of House of Commons Tl Become a Live One After Lords Veto Bill Is Disposed of. London, Sept. 10.���The payment of members of Parliament will be one of the live questions of British politics after the Lords' veto has been disposed of. The British Parliament is one of the very few national legislative bodies which serves without pay. This may have* been all right in the days of restricted suffrage and pocket boroughs when only the gentry were supposed to be sent to the Commons, but there is steadily increasing a number of members of Parliament who must be secured an income at least sufficient to live on. This is particularly true of parties most of whose members are without means. Thanks to the Irish-Americans largely, the Irish party is able to take care of its members, and up to a short time ago the Labor party, through an assessment levied on trades union members, met the expenses of its members of Parliament. The courts have, however, declared this illegal and the Labor party is facing a crisis. It will result in a determined effort to adopt the payment of salaries to members of parliament and there is little doubt that it will be successful. The proposal of the railway servants is that a central legal defence fund should be formed for the purpose of "carrying to the highest legal court any test case affecting the fundamental principles of organized labor." Such a fund is so obviously necessary that it is surprising that it has not yet been instituted. For example, practically the whole of the cost of recent litigation on the political application of the trades union funds have been borne by the railway servants in the Osborne case. But the decision is one which affects every trade union, and the railway servants were fighting the battle of them all. A small union could not have faced the cost, but the establishment of a central defence fund would make the motto of the trade unions in really fundamental questions "Touch one, touch all."

At the tenth annual convention of the Union of Canadian Municipalities, recently held in Toronto, Secretary Lighthall in his summary of the work of the Union made some startling observations regarding the grasping operations of combined capital. He said in part. "We have found specially troublesome a certain large combination, the Bell Telephone company which is an essentially United States corporation, a form of the American Bell company and follows its methods. After years of contestations we obtained our points. Another of Canadian origin and which has proved the most serious and deftly managed organization the municipalities have thus far had to fight, is the Mackenzie- Mann combination. But both are now overshadowed by the Pierpont Morgan influence. We have it on good authority that this financial organization is so complete that all the principal city franchises of water, power and the great resources generally of Canada are now mapped out in New York for systematic invasion on the same lines as those of the United States Consequently terminal bills and power and canal bills on a vast scale, scientifically directed have been appearing on the horizon with powerful New York backing for the past three years and constitute the most formidable questions affecting our national heritage."

Prince Rupert Among the recent arrivals in the city from the northern districts of British Columbia is Mr. Thompson Low, of Queen Charlotte Islands, who is a guest at the Leland hotel, says The Vancouver-News Advertiser. Mr. Low is a resident of Pacifico, Q. C. I., and, naturally thinks that there is no part of British Columbia which is more full of promise than that particular locality in which he is interested. He had the pleasure of being the intimate and confidential companion of Hon. Thos. Taylor, minister of public works, and of the hon. member for Skeena, Mr. William Manson, M. L. A., in the trip of the latter on the tour of inspection recently made over the district. A chat with Mr. Low is a treat as he is an Imperialist and a prvoincial- ist, with the necessary localization, whose equal is difficult to meet. Ardently Imperial in his sympathies and with a thorough knowledge of the proper relation of the affairs of one part of a section of the empire to another he looks over Queen Charlotte Islands with as envious, or unenvious, an eye as Robinson Crusoe looked over the fabled island of Juan Fernandez. Mr. Low keeps himself well imformed in matters political, both as to provincial, Dominion and Imperial affairs. On the question of provincial matters he asyB that there is no doubt that before the next general election there will be a demand for an order-in-council constituting the Queen Charlotte group of islands a separate constituency entitled to personal representation in the legislative assembly. "There are a few local jealousies," said Mr. Low, between the several towns, cities and centres on the islands, but in view of the combined and concentred interests of the whole of these places, common sense must prevail and no personal element could enter into the question of a candidate's popularity or fitness for representation in the parliament of the province. It is too big a territory to be represented by any one man under the existing circumstances, and while we have every confidence in our present emmber, the time is not far away when we shall need to have a specific presentation of our specific needs before the floor of the house. There is some prospect that the cabinet will look favorably on this increase of representation." That a strong agitation for separate constitution and representation as a district is likely to emanate from the Queen Charlotte Islands man be taken upon Mr. Low's word. Mr. Low will not be a candidate himself. G. W. MORROW OFFERS FOR SALE PLACER IN THE NAAS Alluvial Gravels Discovered Tributary Stream Prospectors who returned from the Naas river country to Hazelton caused a rush to a section where it is reported placer ground has been found. The particular locality is said to be a creek called White creek, a tributary of the Naas river. White creek is said to have its source in the Bitter creek glacier, and the small tributaries flowing into it are said to have returned a large amount to the pan. The men who came in with the news made the trip over the Bitter creek glacier and those who went to the strike are said to taken the route over the Bitter creek divide. Must Not Read Newspapers Paris, Sept. 12.���A despatch from Rome states that the Pope has started a crusade against "modernism" by issuing a regulation forbidding the young clergy to read newspapers and periodicals which might distract them from their studies. After travelling for some weeks with some friends on a journey of inspection in the up river district J. R. Anderson late Deputy Minister of Agriculture arrived on Tuesday in Prince Rupert from Hazelton. The purpose of his journey has been principally to investigate soil conditions in the up river valleys with a view to fruit growing. Mr. Anderson has visited Hazelton, Sealeyville and Ellison, and has studied the district from the point of view of a fruit farmer, and has formed a splendid opinion of the capabilities of the soil in this valley. "You can safely say" he told The Optimiist "that in my opinion the soil there is for fruit growing as good as would be hardly fair as it possesses the advantage over the Okanagan that it requires no artifical irrigation. The sub- irrigation is ample even in the driest year. It was ample this year, and I am told this is a particularly dry year. "I saw some splendid apple trees growing at Kitsumkalum, and plum trees and cherries flourish there. As regards the Kootenay district, in my opinion this valley is even better and it is certainly ahead as regards soil for the soil is free from stones and much more level. I consider the upper branch of the valley would be preferable for apples than the lower branches. "One remarkable thing I noticed about this valley. That is that no frost has yet attacked the most delicate plants. The potato leaves are all green there. Now I have just recently been at Comox in Vancouver Island and there noticed that already a severe frost has occurred this year blighting tender growth. Evidently it has not reached the upper river valleys. "Of course the ground is well wooded but principally with poplars and cotton wood which are easily cleared. There is an abundance of water supply for all purposes. I went over the ground in the vicinity of Ellison townsite and the ground in the upper branches of the valley which is even more easily cleared and at a very moderate expense. The soil gives ample depth for fruit of all kinds. I saw beautiful sweetpeas and asters growing at Hazelton. The district above Meanskinisht is a great strwaberry country, and here too I saw a wonderful growth of wheat. Mr. Vital Soucie who has a patch of his land 50 ft by 100 ft under strawberries there of the Magoro variety took thirty-two crates of fruit off there this season and sold it at an average of 25 cents a pound. "All the soil of these valleys needs is aeration by means of cultivation to make it magnificent for producing fruit without any manuring. That is my opinion after specially travelling the district to test the soil with some friends who mean to take up fruit ranching there."

ROBERT A. RENWICK. Deputy Commissioner of Lands. Lands Department, Victoria, B. C, June 16th. 1910. 45-Sm After having been without a permanent pastor, for nearly a. year the members of the Fir<t Presbyterian church have been looking forward to the arrival of Rev. W. F Kerr who is to arrive today. He will be accompanied by a brother pastor and member of the presbytery of New Westminster from Vancouver and will, be inducted to his new charge on Thursday evening. Rev. W. F. Kerr is a young man and promising preacher who has been excellently recommended for the work he is to undertake in Prince Rupert. He has been engaged in mission work in various parts of Canada, and his zeal as a student recently earned for him a scholarship enabling him to travel to Germany where he has during the past year been engaged in completing his theological course. He will be welcomed to Prince Rupert by several members of the board of management of the church, and prominent members of the congregation. There is a small financial burden upon the First Presbyterian church at present, a matter of $600 which consists partly of a debt to the building fund, and partly of a deficit arising from the unsettled state of the congregation and impossibility of organizing .the contributions systematically during the growths of supply services in which the expenditure has of course continued as usual. Steps are now being taken to wipe this liability off entirely and let Rev. Mr. Kerr enter upon an absolutely unburdened charge.

London, Sept. 10.���The payment of members of Parliament will be one of the live questions of British politics after the Lords' veto has been disposed of. The British Parliament is one of the very few national legislative bodies which serves without pay. This may have' been all right in the days of restricted suffrage and pocket boroughs when only the gentry were supposed to be sent to the Commons, but there is steadily increasing a number of members of Parliament who must be secured an income at least sufficient to live on. This is particularly true of parties most of whose members are without means. Thanks to the Irish-Americans largely, the Irish party is able to take care of its members, and up to a short time ago the Labor party, through an assessment levied on trades union members, met the expenses of its members of Parliament. The courts have, however, declared this illegal and the Labor party is facing a crisis. It will result in a determined effort to adopt the payment of salaries to members of parliament and there is little doubt that it will be successful. The proposal of the railway servants is that a central legal defence fund should be formed for the purpose of "carrying to the highest legal court any test case affecting the fundamental principles of organized labor." Such a fund is so obviously necessary that it is surprising that it has not yet been instituted. For example, practically the whole of the cost of recent litigation on the political application of the trades union funds have been borne by the railway servants in the Osborne case. But the decision is one which affects every trade union, and the railway servants were fighting the battle of them all. A small union could not have faced the cost, but the establishment of a central defence fund would make the motto of the trade unions in really fundamental questions "Touch one, touch all." HUGE COMBINATIONS Systematic Invasion For Acquirement of Municipal Franchises ARE THERE FIFTY PEOPLE IN PRINCE RUPERT Who appreciate strictly fresh ranch eggs. If so we ate talking to them. We can safely say, without fear of contradiction, that the Exchange Grill, is the only house in Prince Rupert, IN ANY LINE, that receives regular shipments of fresh eggs direct from the ranch. Our weekly consignments amount to three cases, containing 1,080 eggs, which we guarantee to be absolutely fresh. This number is sufficient to provide breakfast for fifty people daily. We will serve them in the shell, and will pay a five dollar gold piece to the patron who discovers one egg which is not strictly right. We have thes equipment and staff to give you speedy and courteous service. Exchange Grill 107-113. Second avenue. At the tenth annual convention of the Union of Canadian Municipalities, recently held in Toronto, .Secretary Lighthall in his summary of the work of the Union made some startling observations regarding the grasping operations of combined capital. He said in part. "We have found specially troublesome a certain large combination, the Bell Telephone company which is an essentially United States corporation, a form of the American Bell company and follows its methods. After years of contestations we obtained our points. Another of Canadian origin and which has proved the most serious and deftly managed organization the municipalities have thus far had to fight, is the Mackenzie- Mann combination. But both are now overshadowed by the Pierpont Morgan influence. We have it on good authority that this financial organization is so complete that all the principal city franchises of water, power and tbe great resources generally of Canada are now mapped out in New York for systematic invasion on the same lines as those of the United States Consequently terminal bills and power and canal bills on a vast scale, scientifically directed have been appearing on the horizon with powerful New York backing for the past three years and constitute the most formidable questions affecting our national heritage."

Wednesday, Sept. 14 A MILLION DOLLARS FOR WHAT? It is generally understood that the city council has arranged to borrow sums up to the amount of $1,000,000 from the Bank of Montreal at 6 p.c. interest, the bank to dispose of debentures issued at such prices as they may realize and to get a commission on the sale. This seems to be a pretty bold stroke of business on the part of the city council. Under the Municipal Clauses Act the city council may raise without submitting a by-law to the people sums of money for local improvements on the frontage tax system Jbut the most liberal interpretation of the act does not authorize the raising of a million dollars on the credit of the whole city for waterworks, streets, sewers, electric light plant, telephone plant and other items without the approval of the electors. Having arranged for this amount of money without consulting the electors it is up to the city council to explain on what authority it was done and what they propose doing with it. Is it to be expended in all sections under the frontage tax system? Arranging for such a tremendous loan under the authority of the local improvement clause of the uct is something never anticipated by the electors or even by the compilers of the Act itself. The expenditure of such immense sums, even under the frontage tax system, without it being submitted to the electors is iniquitious legisla- tion.but it would seem that the present councilor those who control its voting strength, are prepared to go to any extreme to carry out the ridiculous Lynch theories of taxation on public improvements, so long as they do not have to consult the people. It is astonishing, but apparently true, that within the short space of four months the city council have become so afraid of publicity and of the people that they seek shelter behind a section of the Municipal Clauses Act instead of submitting their I plans fair the approval of the electors. By their secrecy the council may for a short time keep from the public the fact that they are all at sea in their ideas of civic business, but it will not take long for the discovery that they are utterly discreditedin the minds of the public.

PERSONAL The Most Eminent Thinkers The fall millinery openings, one of the big events in the lives of the fair sex, are now on. Mrs. S. Frizzell, on Sixth street on the theatre block takes the lead and held her opening yesterday and today, and the ladies of Print* Ruport now have a gixxi idea of what they will wear on their heads this season. Remarkable though it may seem it will be possible for everyone to In? in the height of fashion and still wear something that is becoming to their particular style. The hats are all sizes and shapes and nearly every kind of trimming will be used. Most of them, however, incline to modesty and the favorites are beaver and velvets. These two styles will be largely worn and they are made up in such size and shape to suit the individual. Feathers, wings and ostrich plumes are the favorite trimmings, and for a season fruits and flowers will be in the second rank. There has always been a demand for the tailored hats and now Mrs. Frizzell hx* them, and the beauty of it is. they are strictly in style. Tailored hats will be largely worn all over and they are very fashionable. During the past two days a large number of ladies have visited Mrs. Frizzell's and placed their orders for fall hats. Miss Bat beau's Miss Barbeau has just returned from the south where she spent some time gathering up idea* tor the fall millinery opening. She will be ready in her new store in the Helgerson block next week and she will have a complete stock of new millinery and trimmings to show*. Mrs. Demers A more beautiful display of millinery than Mrs. Demers opened up this morning would be hard to find or even to conceive. The fall opening took place today and a large number of ladies C. V. BENNETT, N. G. G. W. ARNOTT, Sec. visited the store and were delighted to find that they could wear almost any pretty hat and be fashionable. The hat must, however, be pretty. It is a long time since the styles were so varied and yet the freak hats have been il- liminated. The leaders are the beavers, velvet and the turbans in fur. with velvet or silk crowns. The favorite trimmings are feathers and ostrich plumes and some of Mrs. Demers" hats are exceptionally handsome as they are not over burdened with a lot of decorations. They are all modest and yet attractive, and everyone should be well satisfied. The predominating colors for this season are black. poinsetta?e ra��d. nattier blue and amethyst. And in no case are all the colors put in one hat. Mrs. Demers sends a cordial invitation to all the ladies of Prince Rupert to visit her millinery opening.

Henry Ward Beecher: "Your affairs may become involved, and your property taken for debt, but a thousand dollars insurance on your life cannot be taken for debt; cannot be alienated from your heirs; and if you have chosen your Company discreetly, is subject to no 1 commercial risks. It is as nearly sure as anything earthly can be." Bishop Henry C. Potter. "Life Insurance has advantages, especially to persons of small means, which it does not seem easy to over- slate. To those of my own profession it furnishes a method of laying by for 'a rainy day' of all the most practicable and effectual." President Wm. H. Taft: "A man in office without means must abandon the hope of making the future of his family luxuriously comfortable. All a man can do under existing circumstances to safeguard his family is to get his life insured." Hon. Theodore Roosevelt: "Life Insurance increases the stability of the business world, raises its moral tone and puts a premium upon those habits of thrift and saving which are so essential to the welfare of the people as a body."

The decision was in the nature of a compromise. There were seven points of difference of which Great Britain wins number one and five and the United States the remaining five. However, the very points on which the decision favors Great Britian were those on which the keenest argument was had and on which greatest stress was laid by the eminent council engaged by Great Britain and Canada. Great Britain's contentions with respect to the measurement of the three- mile limit and the regulations of the fisheries by Newfoundland laws, the methods of taking fish, the style of nets to be used and a number of other more or less important points were upheld by the tribunal. These were the most important points in dispute. The United States secured the right to employ Newfoundlanders on fishing vessels and a number of minor concessions. The court was unanimous on nearly all points though there was some difference of opinion over the question of excluding American fishermen from waters which were claimed to be within British jurisdiction.

The report dealt with the detection and destruction of meat discovered by Mr. Macfarlane to be in a state unfit for human consumption. The Sanitary Inspector takes this opportunity of warning meat importers and vendors generally that the exposure of meat for sale when it is in a condition unfit for food renders the offender liable to appear in court.

G. C. EMMERSON, Prince Run The people of Prince Rupert all realize the benefit of a payroll to a growing town. At no place is this fact demonstrated to better advantage than in the town of Sealey about three miles down the Skeena River from Hazelton. There are the offices and pay station of Foley, Welch and Stewart and there within a mile of the town are over five hundred men. These things combined with the facts that aSealey is the destributing point to the Bulkley valley and the present chief port on the Skeena make the town an attractive one. As well as a river port Sealey is on the railroad and the Grand Trunk Pacific have made it one of their stations. This should make the reader realize that Sealey is to become one of the permanent railroad towns in the Skeena and Bulkley valleys. HOTEL ARRIVALS. Hotel Premier Geo. A. Sealt, Vancouver 0. W.
