The Prince Rupert ,t'r' 1st DAILY EDITION VOL. I, NO. 114 Prince Rupert, B.C.. Monday, September 19. 1910. Price, Five Cents POWER NOW THE QUESTION MORROW SEEKS INFORMATION FROM COUNCIL Gasoline Engine* More Dangerous Than Lamp*.���Aid. Mobley Gives No Hope of City Selling Power Until Permanent Plant Is Ready. George W. Morrow brought to the attention of the city council on Saturday afternoon the interesting question of power supply. He thought that while the council was negotiating for power for electric light they should also take into consideration the supply of power. One reason in the matter was in regard to the Optimist plant in which he is interested, upon which using a gasoline plant it was impossible to get insurance at less than ten per cent, which was almost prohibitive. He should like to impress unon the council the importance of supplying power as well as electric light as quickly as possible. It was not for himself alone that he spoke but for other users of power also. He did not see, for instance, how the Kelly-Douglas company would be able to use its big warehouse without putting in power, and to use gasoline meant the menance of fire. Now in the Optimist office they were using gasoline for power, and ia; was dangerous not only to themselves but to every body in the neighborhood. The danger from the use of gasoline engines was as great as that of using lamps; even more so. They had a $15,000 plant and could only get a $3000 insurance. He understood there were many warehouses being built that would also need power and he thought the city could easily dispose of 100 horse power. He thought if the committee ordered two machines instead of one they would have no power to spare. He should like an expression of opinion from the council, and if there seemed no chance of the city being able to supply power soon the Optimist would have to go ahe^ad and put up a cement building for its engines in order to get a lower rate of insurance. Mr. Palmer said the Prince Rupert Sash and Door company would be glad to take power from the city instead of the power it was now using. Its fuel bill for coal was over $300 per month, although they made a great deal of fuel (or themselves. If he were informed for what price the city could generate that power he would be able to answer immediately. The company would need boilers in any case for its dry kilns, but lor this they made enough fuel. He would prefer electric power in any case, and then they could move their boilers away and lessen the danger of fire. The Mayor said that in reply to Mr. Morrow he might say the council had ordered one dynamo and would put in another just as quickly as possible. This *as for temporary lighting but if it wag found possible to get a day run a certain amount of power could be generated also. Meantime the council was going Into the matter of a more permanent P ant. Mr. Morrow: Have you enough m?tor the machin<- you have ordered. The Mayor: Oh, yes. Mr Morrow: It just occurred to me that if ���ity. In the event of the four boilers proving to be in good condition to light the city would take all the two machines can produce, and we canot give power until we get a permanent plant. Mr. Morrow: That means that we cannot hope for power for some time? Aid. Mobley: Our permanent plant would be installed in from six to ten weeks. We might sell a little power from the temporary plant during the day but we should have none to spare during the hours of darkness. Mr, Morrow: Even that little would be a great relief and would certainly reduce the terms of insurance. We were just now considering the building of a concrete building for our engines. The Mayor: We are discussing this same question of how to dispense with the use of gasoline both for engines and lamps, and Mr. Morrow may rest assured the matter is getting our earnest attention. STOLEN GOLD MAY BE BURIED POLICE THEORIES REGARDING MISSING BULLION Men Supposed To Have Rifled Express Boxes on Yukon Are Under Strict Surveillance.���Police Hope To Starve Them Out. you have power enough you lght Purchase two machines at the ame time. It is a matter of reducing the J risk, because the more gasoline "Wes put in the more rigk -g ^ Aid. Mobley: It is scarcely possible �� could have any power now, as one "Milne will not be adequate to light the Seattle, Sept. 17.���It is settled in the minds of the detectives that the $57,500 robbery of gold bullion in transit from Fairbanks to Seattle was committed on the Yukon river steamer Tanana and the men who are supposed to have stolen the precious ingots are under surveillance. But the booty is buried in the earth, the detectives say, and even if they arrested the real criminals they could not convict them and they might not recover the gold. So they purpose to starve the thieves out; to watch them until they dig up the gold and try to sell it. Any man who tries to sell Tanana gold at any market in Alaska or the United States will be held for examination. STILL CLUTCH THE MINTO CUP BIG STEAMER WRECKED One Boat With Captain and Part Of Crew Picked Up PROGRESS ON NEW WHARF NEW WESTMINSTER ARE ONCE MORE THE VICTORS Nationals Put In Field Champion Team and Played Brilliantly, But Were Not Strong Enough To Down The Salmonbellie*. COAL MINERS STRIKE Two Hundred Thousand In Wales To Go Out In Two Weeks (Special to the Optimist) Cardiff, Sept. 19���By the action of voting in favor of a strike, two hundred thousand Welsh coal miners give a tremendous impetus to the impending British labor war. The strike is to be declared within two weeks. W. E. FISHER GOES SOUTH To Return In Three Weeks With Hi* Blushing Bride W. E. Fisher, the Crown Prosecutor, leaves Prince Rupert tonight by the Prince George for his home city of Victoria. He told The Optimist this morning that he expected to be absent for about three weeks but smilingly declined to divulge anything further regarding the purpose of his journey south. A little bird however, has whispered to The Optimist that Mr. Fisher has the very best of reasons for going south. He is following his heart there, for shortly after he arrives in Victoria there is going to be a wedding, at which cermony Mr. Fisher with a certain charming Miss Anderson of Montreal will be the principals. Hence the smile and twinkle when Mr. Fisher declined to reveal to The Optimist the tender purpose of his 1 swallow flight southwards. (Special to the Optimist) New Westminster, Sept. 19.���The Salmonbellies still retain their clutch upon the Minto Cup, having beaten the Nationals of Montreal by a score of seven to three. It must not be assumed however, that from the score the victory was an easy one. On the contrary it was one of the most stubbornly contested matches the local team has appeared in, and against the brilliant play of the visitors the local team must be said to have had luck with them. The weather remained fine and there was not much less than twelve thousand witnesses of the great game. There was little betting but the odds were two to one in favor of the New Westminsters,. The sports had seen the Nationals tried out on Thursday at Brockton Point, and it was a general conclusion from the good team work shown that the Salmon- bellies would at least have the hardest game of the year. They were certainly up against the real thing. The twelve who won the championship from goal to inside home in order are as follows: L'Heureux, Catterinich, Gagnon, Decarie Clement, Gauthier, Lalonde, Secours, Dulude, Lachapelle, Lamoureux and Dussault. while the spares are Laviolette, Beauchamp, Boulianne and Duckett. It was a great game from start to finish, rough on both sides but there were comparatively few forfeits.. ROYAL BANK THIRD LARGEST HAS ABSORBED THE UNION BANK OF HALIFAX The Royal Bank now Has ��� Hundred and Eighty Branches Covering Canada From the Atlantic to the Pacific. Banking circles and the business community are all interested in the purchase by the Royal Bank of the Union Bank of Halifax. It is officially announced that the deal was completed on .September 8. This consolidation easily makes the Royal Bank the third largest in Canada, and with a capital of $6,500,000, reserve of $7,100,000 and assets of $90,000,000. The deal has been ratified by the Union Bank of Halifax, on Wednesday, and by the Royal Shareholders on Thursday. ' The Royal Bank has now 180 branches, covering the country in a chain from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and of these no less than 15 are in the West Indies. It is gratifying that in the hands of the local manager, H. P. Wilson, the agency in Prince Rupert is doing a large and substantial business, and is a favorite among business men. (Special to the Optimist) Sydney, Sept. 19.���The steamer Carnarvon Bay, from Liverpool to Sydney, was wrecked on an unknown reef off Kings Island, between the mainland and Tasmania. One boat, with the captain and sixteen of the crew, has been picked up, The rest of the crew were in other boats and they are missing. WHAT MR. ALBERT SAYS ABOUT THE WORK Kaien Island Club Ball The invitations are out for the inauguration ball of the Kaien Island club, which is to take place next Friday evening. The patronesses aje Mrs. Alfred Stork, Mrs. William Manson and Mrs. J. H. McMullin. All members are expected to be present without notification. QUARTZ LEDGE ON GOLD CREEK PROSPECTOR DAN OLSON NOW IN THE CITY Says Grand Trunk is Bound To Construct Copper River Branch Soon As the Coal From Godfrey'* Will Be Badly Needed. Dan Olson, a well known prospector from Kitselas, is a guest at tbe Premier. He has a promising mining proposition on Gold creek called the Avon group, which are on a ledge containing gold, copper and silver that is fifty feet wide. Mr. Olson has been in this part of the country for four years and was the first locator of mining claims in that section. They have open-cut the ledge in a number of places and the ore shows the same average results in every spot. "We have been handicapped in the past," said Mr. Olson this morning "by having to pack in all our supplies on our backs, and a pack of eighteen miles from Kitselas is no joke. Now we have a government trail the whole distance on which we can use horses and this has helped very much. We have four men at work, who will go on all winter opening up the lead. I am in town for a few days to purchase winter supplies and shall leave by the first boat for Kitselas. "We are not bothering much about the future as we shall shortly have a railway within four miles of our group. The Grand Trunk Pacific is bound to build the Copper river branch line as they need the coal. Godfrey's coal property, which this branch line will take, is a first class coal, and the company is sure to begin to go after it very soon now." Mrs. Giles and Mrs. Hall arrived on the Prince George from Montreal and are staying at the Prince Rupert Inn. Mrs. Hall is a daughter of W. J. McKenzi, one of the pioneers of the city and in the office of Foley, Welch and Stewart. The ladies will spend a few days in the city before returning south. BIG STEEL STEAMER The Bannockburn Due to Arrive Here Tonight or To morrow Morning . The big freighter Bannockburn is due to arrive here tonight or tomorrow morning and there will be work for a number of men along the waterfront unloading her. She is bringing about six thousand tons of steel rails for the Grand Trunk Pacific. What, No Drunks! It is surely a tribute to the effiacy of the licensing system that since licenses were granted in Prince Rupert not a single case of "drunk and disorderly" has found its way to the Police Court which today as for several days back has been absolutely quiet. Tides an Important Factor in Completion of Sea Wall Which Delays Contract Just Now, But Will Be Finished Early Next Month. "When is the government wharf to be finished?" M. Albert the Westholme Lumber Co's manager hears the question, he declares, on an average fifty times a day. "I am tired of hearing it" he says "but my answer to it is more or less plain. If the government wharf could possibly be finished within ten days from now, by putting on a thousand men, the Westholme Lumber Co., would be pleased to do it. ' "No contractor could make any swifter progress than we are doing at present. The work we are engaged on, the completion of the sea wall can only be undertaken at its present stage, at low tides and then only for a few hours at a time. The men have to get on the job at whatever hour of the day or night the tide may suit. About 75 feet of the 600 feet of sea wall remains to be completed. Once that is done we can work continuously. It will be finished by October 10th I expect. "It must be remembered that we are the only firm contracting in this district for reinforced concrete piles. These piles we build on the spot. They are each 110 feet long, and on a rough estimate I calculate about a couple of hundred will be used. We have just installed a new and very large derrick costing $3000 to handle these piles as they are put in position. The work is difficult and requires expert and costly supervision. "I cannot understand why people imagine we would delay the completion of this contract. It is proceeding as fast as possible. Each month $750 in cash goes out in wages whether the men have put in full time or not; and there is material ready on the ground to the value of from $35,000 to $40,000. It is to the Westholme Lumber Co's interest, let alone the public interest to have the work speedily completed. "As far as speed in our contracts goes I may say that on our railway contract of 17 miles at Stewart, we have completed 10 miles in less than 3 months which is about the fastest time made by any contractor. Other people seem to have trouble in getting men. We have had plenty of labour from the first and our men are well pleased with their food supply and conditions." NEWSPAPER MEN COMING Big Party Has Passed Hazelton On Way to Prince Rupert The large party of newspaper men which under charge of C. B. Charlton, general advertising agent of the Grand Trunk Pacific, has been making a close investigation of the country along the line of the railway from Edmonton, has passed Hazelton and will likely reach here on one of the first boats down river. The party comprises some of the leading newspaper and magazine writers of this country and the United States and a number of photographers" and artists are with them. When they started oul from the end of steel to make this west em point they had a supply train o forty horses, fully equipped for the loni outing. THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST Professional Cards G. W.

CANADA'S GROWTH The presence in Vancouver last week of Sir Mackenzie Bowell could not but awakened in the minds of many of those who called upon him thoughts of the wonderful change which had occurred in Canada within a single lifetime. When Sir Mackenzie Bowell entered politics Canada meant the five provinces east of the Great Lakes; and even in those five provinces the soil was but partially occupied. The population of Quebec stretched along the river St. Lawrence, and in Ontario the great northern portion of the country which has since developed such immense resources was still a wilderness. The great prairie country, stretching from Lake Superior to the Rocky Mountains was still the home of the buffalo, and the preserve of a fur company; British Columbia, had, it is true, attracted the attention of the world by the discovery of gold on the Fraser bars and in the creeks of Cariboo, but, unless it were in the mind of Sir John Macdonald, the idea of creating a great British commonwealth extending from ocean to ocean had scarcely been thought of. British Columbia, which was looked upon as a forbidding and inhospitable waste, become the hope of the empire as a producer of minerals. The city of Vancouver, with over 100,000 population, was nothing more than the site of a sawmill even after Sir Mackenzie had become a national figure. It sould not but be with some feeling of pride that he surveyed the change in the face of the country on his journey across the continent, and reflected that he, himself, had taken a very considerable and important part in producing the prosperity which he beheld. Sir Mackenzie Bowell, during his political career, a very active and honorable one and of greater duration than that of perhaps any man now living in Canada, has seen the large northern region of Ontario and Quebec become the theatre of immense activity. He has seen the western wilderness, in his own remembrance almost devoid of human life, become the theatre of expanding enterprises, with cities and towns and hundreds of thousands of homesteads dotting its vast area, and he has seen British Columbia, which was looked upon A DREAM THAT MAY COME TRUE G.

Tjttf A prominent Prince Rupert citizen whose figure is a familiar one along the waterfront and wharves, told the Optimist���with bated breath���of a vividly realistic and dreadful dream he had the other night. , "I had gone to bed rather late" he I said "after watching the Prince Rupert ! leave in the evening more as a sort of pastime, I confess, than for any more ! practical reason. I remember watching i her receding stern and thinking of that 1 warning legend upon it to keep clear ! of the propellors. "Pretty soon after going to bed I ' fell asleep only to wake up suddenly an hour later with beads of sweat on ' my brow startled by a dream so real that I half fancied it had actually hap- j pened. "I dreamed that I had gone to the I edge of the wharf to see the Prince j Rupert leave, when suddenly my foot | slipped somehow. I staggered clutching at the air, then at the rough wharf timbers and then I fell struggling, to the water below, and felt myself fighting hard for life. "I was quite near the wharf piles and could touch them as I struggled in the ice cold water. My finger nails broke and bled as I scratched and tore to get a grip. All the time I seemed to be sliding slowly along the water line below the wharf, past pile after pile, always clutching at them and growing weaker and weaker. "My God!' I heard myself cry at last. 'Is there not a ladder���a ladder���! Oh for mercy's sake a ladder to cling to, and climb up from, this cruel water!' "But there was no ladder, and nobody seemed able to help me though I saw their white faces and outstretched hands far above me. There was a rope dangling but it was too short. I gave one chocking cry, threw up my arms and���woke as I have said safe in bed but all- of a sweat. "Well that dream worried me quite a bit, and I went down and had a look along the wharf, for it sort of struck me it was a dream that wasn't all foolishness like some dreams. I went and looked specially for signs of a handy ladder or two along the wharf that a drowning man might have a chance to grab at and climb up, or that a rescuer might climb down to help him. "Well, I looked,and as I looked I recalled the horridly real experiences of that dream, and I came away resolving to be mighty careful how I walked along the edge of the wharf. For there aren't any ladders, and that dream of mine ia liable to come tr'tie for sonv> one, if not myself, any day of the week right now. Don't you think some one should be told to fix a few handy ladders? I think so anyway!" as a forbidding and inhospitable waste, become the hope of the empire aa a producer of minerals.

This applies to every industry. It is not the fault of the company that he has made a mistake. "There is no question but what there is a scarcity of labor in the country in a sense. The trouble is that the men who follow this railway building are a class who like to be where they can spend half their time in places of amusement and such resorts are not to be found in the interior districts, particularly in the newer sections of the country as is being traversed by the Grand Trunk Pacific. "But these things will not stop work on the road. There is an influx of people to Canada this season, many of whom will depend upon their labor for a livelihood and will turn their attention to the railway work, and I believe the winter months will find a surplus in comparison to the demand."

Aug 80���80d While some hunting parties have gone out from Prince Rupert and returned without having seen a sign of deer others seem to have more than their share of luck. Six fine deer, three of them antlered', were brought into the city this morning by a party of three foreign hunters. Quite a number of people going and coming on Second avenue this morning paused in passing the Owl Restaurant where the game is stored at present, to have a look at the deer. To those "experts" who have suggested that the deer are pretty well driven off the adjacent districts this bag will be a puzzler. It is understood that deer were shot in the district just across the bridge from Prince Rupert. LAST YUKON STEAMER Will Leave Dawson for River Points September 24 Seattle, Sept. 16.���Officials of the Alaska Steamship Company were notified yesterday that the last river steamer on the Yukon for Fairbanks, Tanana and other points below Dawson will not leave Dawson until September 24, the date having been advanced two days. The steamer Jefferson, leaving Seattle tonight for Skagway, carrying freight and mail for places beyond Dawson, will be the last connection with Yukon steamers and mails for these points will be forwarded by the trail overland from Valdez. There are no chickens in the eggs stamped with the red "C". tf. Rev. W. F. Kerr the new pastor of the First Presbyterian church preached his first sermon in Prince Rupert yesterday. There was a large attendance of the congregation, the church being filled. Rev. Mr. Kerr preached a vigorous and fearless sermon on the theme contained in Act 10. 33, though as he said at the outset of his address, he did not intend to adhere strictly to a text, but rather to talk on certain general principles of conduct. The question of church attendance the new pastor is most emphatic. "I don't ask a man to come to the week day prayer meeting if he does not come of his own accord" said Mr. Kerr "but I do expect him to attend the church service on the Sabbath Day. Some people may find it satisfactory to do their worshipping on the bny or mountain on Sundays. I expect the members of this congregation to be in their places in church on the Sabbath. During my ministry so far I have had much trouble from people who failed to fulfil their promises as church attenders and church workers. I want to be able to depend on this congregation. "Another thing I want of you is that each member shall regard himself as a sort of missionary. In this fresh and growing community each has a duty to perform, in this way for this church amongst the newcomers. "Thirdly, I want you to keep above the vigorous western social life of the church so as to fortify the church within against the times of division and difference of opinion which are inevitable. I pray God we may be unflinching when such times come." Rev. Mr. Kerr went on to talk of visiting, warning the congregation that though he would endeavor to visit as frequently as possible he couldn't guarantee regular visitation of each house more than twice a year. He then spoke out plainly on the question of differences between members of congregation and their minister. "Do not expect me to run around soothing the wounded feelings of those to whom my views may not appeal, for I shall not, do so" he said. "I tell you there is no man in the world who experiences such despicable usage as a minister" he added "he is looked upon as less than a liveried servant, and if he dares to have a different theological opinion from the member then he is quickly and unpleasantly reminded of the fact. But do not expect that I am going round pouring oil on troubled waters or soothing the ruffled feelings of offended members like that, "I am saying these things today" said Mr. Kerr "because I do not know you and it is easier to say them now than at any other time. The pastor went on to speak of the church as a social necessity, and his call to the ministry. He warned the congregation that though he had come into the ministry believing in the highest and best of all callings, there was still the certainty that if the church failed to uphold the cause of truth in its best sense, or grew too narrow for the great spirit of humanity, he would change his profession in the search after that spirit of truth. "I do not say I want to leave the ministry," he said "I believe God called me to the ministry, I do not know yet whether he will call me out of it." The young pastor went on to speak of the strength, service and heroism of men in the Christian ministry and its deep appeal to him. He referred to the delicate and spiritual nature of the duties peculiar to the pastors calling, concluding with the words: "The ties which bind you to me if I a am worthy will be such ties as earth can neaver break."

F 114-116 advertised Friday THE VILLAGE COUNCIL Some months ago when the form of municipal government was under discussion in the city, the critics of the board of control or commission plan used the argument that the salary expense of such a municipal body would be too much for the infant city to pay. It was the most effective argument the few opposing popular sentiment could muster. Last Friday The Optimist published the August salary list. It surprised the public. They find that running even a small city under the village council plan to be an expensive proposition. * To-day the same few men who protested against the modern idea of municipal government are advocating and supporting the big salary list without batting an eye. It leads one to enquire if their criticism is sincere, or whether its object was merely to defeat the plan of government which would not give power and authority to men whose first interest is a private enterprise. Is the large amount of money now going for salaries being well spent? Could the city get better value for its money? The Optimist, without charging any official with negl ct of duty or of not earning his wage, still believes that the city is not getting the best value. It is the error of bad organization and an out-of-date system. The village council scheme is working out just as it always has���incompetent and expensive According to the latest rhetoric spew of Alfey's discarded organ the Optimist has not done many things, but then we HAVE given Prince Rupert a newspaper. Just by way of breaking the monotony of the misadministration the public may look for a wind-bag and barbed bout by the daily newspapers over which first discovered the Mayor's incomptency.

STEWART GIVES FLAT DENIAL RAILWAY CONTRACTOR ON THE OUTSIDE INTERVIEWS Hi* Company Has Never Refuted to Undertake Further Contract* on Transcontinental���Labor Market Outside Very Mue A Improved. J. W. Stewart, of Foley, Welch & Stewart, returned on the Prince George and was at his desk in the contractors' offices early this morning. He was told that outside newspapers said his firm had refused any further contracts, to which he smilingly responded: "What do they say we are going to do next, go out of business?" Being assured that the coast newspapers had said his company had refused to bid for any contracts in the four hundred mile stretch to Yellowhead Pass, he said: "As a matter of fact I have never spoken to any reporter since I left Prince Rupert, except one in Winnipeg. He came and asked me if I had anything to say regarding further contracts and I said I had not, and that was the end of it. So whatever the newspapers have had to say in regard to our company's doings does not come from me, and I feel pretty sure it does not come from either of my partners." "It said that the scarcity of labor was the trouble. How did you find the labor market, Mr. Stewart?" "Very much improved, so much so that I do not think we shall have any further trouble in getting men for our construction work. We are getting an average of eighty to a hundred men on every steamer and this will be kept up until we have sufficient. They are a very good class of men, too. "One thing that helped to cause the scarcity was the forest fires in British Columbia, Idaho, Washington and Oregon, To fight these fires took away thousands of men and that was largely what made labor scarce. "I suppose you have read in the newspapers that a Swedish consul has written a report advising the men of Norway and Sweden not to accept work on the Grand Trunk Pacific line because of the number of accidents from blasting and so on. As a matter of fact, we have had very few accidents, less than upon any contract I have ever been on. I am all the more sorry for this report because the Swedes and Norwegians are the best men we can get���the best railway men to be found anywhere. "I am pleased that we are having a little rain, and this will raise the river and permit us to get in all our winter supplies. Of course we have the railway now, and that hepls some; but it is on the upper river where our troubles come when there is a low stage of water." KASAAN HOTEL BURNED DOWN ALSO CANNERY AND ADJACENT STORE Thirty Thousand Can* of Fish and Twenty Thousand Dollar Stock In Store All Destroyed.���Only Seven Thousand Dollars Insurance Monday night at twelve o'clock fire was discovered in the warehouse of the cannery at Kasaan and before daylight the entire plant together with the hotel and the Heckman Trading company store was a mass of ashes and charred and blackened ruins says the Ketchikan Miner of the 16th. There is nothing to indicate the cause of the fire, unless it resulted from a spark from the boilers which seems almost impossible, Mr. Wadhams, the manager, had left the cannery but an hour before and had gone to Shakaan, and the watchman was eating his midnight lunch, whenjf ate took the opportunity to destroy the place. Besides the buildings and machinery with a value of about fifty thousand dollars, a pack of thirty thousand cases of salmon with a value of a hundred thousand dollars, were destroyed within the space of a few hours. It is believed however that thirty per cent of the pack may be salvaged as the fire did not burn "1JEN1X THEATRE MOVING PICTURE VAUDEVILLE AFTERNOON SHOWS Begin at 2.30 and 3.30 NIGHT at 7.30, 8.30 and 9.30 MONDAY AND TUESDAY The Curse of Gambling The Mistake Haunted Bridge Foolshead, King of Policemen Popular Price - 15c A.

Mr. and Mrs. Fred Heckman lost all their household goods and clothing, and part of the mail went up in the flames together with stamps and postoffice supplies and fixtures.

The committee of the Board of Trade appointed to look into the matter of the assessment of the railway property appeared before the city council on Saturday afternoon and submitted its report. The report was read by Thomas Dunn, chairman of the committee, read the report as follows: To the Mayor and Aldermen of the Municipality of Prince Rupert. Gentlemen: The following recommendations are respectfully submitted to your honorable body by the committee of five appointed by the council of the Prince Rupert Board of Trade to consider the matter of the assessment of the Grand Trunk Pacific right-of-way in the city of Prince Rupert made by the government assessor. The Board of Trade, at a meeting held on Monday the 12th day of September instant passed a resolution unanimously ratifying this report and endorsing its recommendations, and requested this committee to lay the same before your honorable body. The recommendations are as follows: That the council of the city of Prince Rupert enter into negotiations with the railroad company to affect an arrangement on the following basis: That the assessment of the railroad right-of-way and waterfront property in Prince Rupert for this year and the following four years be lowered to the amount proposed in the attached schedule but subject to the following conditions. 1. That whenever the railway company alienate, by lease or otherwise, any portion of the said lands that such portion be assessed and taxed as though not railway lands. 2. That the taxes paid by the railway company in respect of the particular block out of which such alienation is made be rebated in proportion to the amount of land thus alienated. 3. That the railway company donate to the city (a) a city hall site, (b) cemetery ground (c) reservoir site. 4. That the railway company release to the city all their rights in the various odd sections of lands in the surveyed portions of the city which have not been surveyed into lots and which belong to the railway company and the provincial government jointly. 5. That the railway company commence to build the round houses and within the city without delay. 6. That the railway company commence building their drydock at the earliest possible moment and prosecute the same steadily to completion. Signed, Thomas Dunn, P. I. Palmer A. J. Morris, H. H. Clarke, P. W. Scott. In reply to a question from Aid. Mobley, Mr. Dunn said the report was made simply as a basis upon which the council could proceed to re-open negotiations. Mr. Morris said that they did not expect the council or the board of trade to accept the report in its entirety, to which Aid. Mobley observed "You have to ask for a great deal in order to get a little when dealing with a railway company, and if you ask for a little you are liable not to get anything." The Mayor noticed that some figures were too high and some, as it seemed to him, too low. The schedule should be adjusted both ways, cutting down a little on the high and putting some on the low. Mr. Dunn: We do not object to that. Mr. Scott said the committee did not feel like dictating to the council but merely presented the report as showing that a large number of citizens desired the negotiations with the railway to be reopened. It was not criticism but was of Church and State Have Endorsed LIFE INSURANCE Rev. 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 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 hone 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."

He warmly deprecated the term "tin-pot" navy. Battleships without cruisers, he said were like blind men without guides. He had no hesitation in saying that at the present moment Britain had plenty of battleships, but not enough cruisers. He added: "The present Canadian naval programme, namely, four crui sers and six destroyers, is formed to meet the existing conditions, keeping in view the amount of money avil- able to the government. The cruisers and destroyers will also be a useful addition to the imperial navy in case of necessity. Dreadnoughts cost money. They also take a large number of men to man them and docks of the largest capacity to hold them. If therefore, a policy of including Dreadnoughts was embarked on a very large sums of money would be involved and probably considerably more than Canada can at present afford. "Criticise the programme by all means, but do not let that criticism take the form of placing obstacles in the way of the navy and also dragging the navy into party politics. Apart from everything else, the navy should be separated from and above party politics. The Canadian navy is a branch of the service of the empire, and as such it is the duty of all Canadians and the whole of Canada to assist in their utmost endeavor in making it a success and an efficient service."

Prince Rupert and Stewart FOUND COPPER VEIN IN REEF PRINCESS MAY SALVORS PLAYING IN GREAT LUCK While Dynamiting Rock For Making | Launching Way* They Dislodge Good Ore and DUcovery Was Not Located Before Steamer Left. Victoria, Sept. 17���The salvors of j the steamer Princess May uncovered a mine when they were dynamiting the rock out for the launching ways to float the steamer from the reef off Sentinel Island. The blasts dislodged good ore. Specimens were shown to the miners at Juneau and great interest followed. The reef had not been located as a mineral claim, however, up to the time the salvors oeft with the Princess May. No assays were made of the ore dislodged, but it appeared to contain copper of sufficient value to work to advantage. If any prospector goes to the reef at low water he will think the reef has been "salted." The Princess May was bringing fifty tons of ore from the Big Thing mine in the White Horse district consigned to the Tyee smelter at Ladysmith for smelting when she ran ashore and this ore was jettisoned in sacks, the majority of which broke, scattering the ore over the reef. Any miner who went to look at the prospect uncovered by dynamite of the wreckers will consequently find some good "float". A tug and scow has been sent from Juneau to recover the shipment of ore and much of this will be picked up and sent on to its destination. About one hundred tons of coal was also jettisoned from the stranded steamer and it is expected much of this will be recovered by the Juneau people...

The Peace River Country Recent reports from the Peace River country are highly satisfactory. There is an experimental farm at Fort Vermillion, which is in about 58 degrees of north latitude, or over 600 miles north of the International Boundary. Wheat, oats and barley have proved highly productive at this farm, wheat yielding 28 bushels to the acre. All kinds of vegetables, including tomatoes, vegetable marrow and cucumbers, which are a good test of the climate, thrive luxuriantly. As Vermillion is considerably north of that part of the Peace River country lying within British Columbia, the latter may be expected to prove even more valuable. A party of visiting pressmen were recently at Vermillion and from that point they ascended the Peace valley, going by land. They were enthusiastic over the prospect of the country from an agricultural point of view. Of Grande Priarie, which is a little to the east of British Columbia, although a similar area in point of fact extends within the borders of this province, one of those who made the trip says: "The country cannot be surpassed as a farming country. It would be difficult to And a quarter section that would not make a desirable homestead." He also says: "The country lying south of the Peace River and containing the Grande Prairie districts contains about 4,000,000 acres of good agricultural land. It is roughly estimated that 20,000,000 acres of agricultural land lies tributary to the Peace River." This information only corroborates what Professor Macoun told us thirty years or more ago. There was a disposition to discount his statement, but the experience of settlers has shown that he was right in this respect as he has been in many others. It may be recalled by some that when Professor Macoun stated to a Committee of the House of Commons about the same time that the region around Calgary would one day be a geat cattle country, he was laughed at. In comparatively recent years an attempt was made to convey the impression that he had been wrong about the Peace River lands; but time is demonstrating the accuracy of his observations The one great need of this region is transportation, and a very interesting question is as to whether this will be first provided from Edmonton of from some point in British Columbia. Our own view is that it will be furnished in both ways, and we refer especially to the matter now for the purpose of keeping before the public what we look upon as a matter of prime importance to British Columbia cities, namely, the necessity of providing a railway from the southwest to the northwest of this province, which would bring a share of the great business to be developed along the Peace River to the cities of Victoria and Vancouver. ���Exchange Many a man has won out by his ability to realize that he was whipped.

Woman to be Canonized Montreal Sept. 16.���Cardinal Vannutelli presided yesterday at the disinterment of the body of Mother Marguerite Bourgeois, founder of the Order of the Congregation of Notre Dame, who will be canonized today. Of all the men actually playing baseball, and eliminating Connie Mack, manager of the Atheletics, who owns stock in the club, Frank Chance, manager of the Cubs, is considered to be far and away above all other active players in his earnings from baseball. This, too, is because Chance also is a stockholder in the Chicago Cubs, owning one-tenth interest. Prior to. the season of 1908, Chance received a salary of $5,500 a year, which was augmented by his dividends and the share of one player in post-season and exhibition game receipts. Chance had signed a four-year contract at $7,- 500 a year, but a dispute arose between him and Chariie Murphy, president of the club, and he announced that he would not play with the Cubs. Makes Secret Arrangement A Chicago man was sent to California to arrange a truce between Chance and Murphy. One of the conditions of ���he truce was that no party to it should ever reveal the salary of the deal, whether raised or continued the same. ���But, with his dividends on his one-tenth interest, Chance earns between $20,000 and $30,000 a year, probably $25,000 a year on an average.
