ALTERATION OF
STREET GRADES
REPORTS OF CITY ENGINEER
AND STREET COMMITTEE
What Mayor and Aldermen Think
Regarding Matter of Adviaability
And Expense of Altering Grade*.
Street Committee Reports.
The City Engineer has reported to
the Street committee that it is not
possible to make any alteration in the
ie of Third avenue between McBride and Fourth streets without
detrimentally affecting the grade lines
o( permanent buildings and adjoining
streets. Also regarding the grade of
Fraser street that to raise this grade
15 feet is impracticable, 10 feet being
the most that can be accomplished
without injury to property or other
streets. In view of the doubt regarding
the grade of Fraser street the engineer
advised the postponement of the
signing of the contracts for the construction of the plank roadway here until
a decision is arrived at.
The streets committee reported in
reference to this report of the city
engineer's recommending in the first
case that the grade be not altered in
view of the slight change practicable.
Regarding the proposed change of
e on Fraser and Fifth streets they
recommended that this should be adopted provided all property owners
there are prepared to waive any compensation from the city to which they
would otherwise be entitled, the said
waivers to be to the satisfaction of the
city solicitors.
Some little discussion followed the
presentation of this report, the mayor
heing inclined to think that it was not
advisable to alter grades in view of
possible claims for damages in some
cases. Aid. Pattullo thought the petitioners for grade alteration would be
well advised to wait a little till the matter
was thoroughly settled. Aid. Lynch
did not think there would be any claims
lor damages. He thought the alterations
contemplated would be to the advantage
"I owners. Aid. Mclntyre, thought that
the engineer's ideas should be given
wight in this, as the engineer's suggestions were probably acceptable to
P-operty owners.
The city engineer himself was present,
��nd stated that it would be an advantage
to him to make the grade alterations
recommended because he had many
thousand yards more of excavation then
�� embankment. It would help him
considerably if grades were raised in
places.

NEW SCHOOL NEXT YEAR
Architect Hooper Thinks Present
One May Be Found Inadequate
Thomas Hooper, the well known
architect of Vancouver who designed
Prince Rupert public school, came up
on the Prince Rupert yesterday but
left this morning for Port Simpson.
He goes there to examine the girls'
school of the Home Mission society and
will then return here. Speaking of the
Prince Rupert school he said it seemed
likely the government would build another school here next year, and from
what he had heard of the growth of
school population it would no doubt
be required by that time.
It was the policy of the government,
he said, not to build a large school in
advance of present requirements, but
rather to have several schools; to have
them scattered so that they would be
within easy distance for the pupils to
attend. He rather thought there would
have to be another here next year but
could not say until he had looked over
the ground.
RAILWAY HOTEL
NOT JUST YET
"MAY" BE ERECTED BY TIME
ROAD IS FINISHED
Site Selected By Mr. Hays For Mil
lion Dollar Inn at Victoria and One
At Similar Cost Talked of For
Vancouver.
Vancouver, Sept. 14.���The Grand
Trunk Pacific railway is seriously considering the advisability of erecting a
hotel in this city at a cost exceeding one
million dollarr
The date of the commencement of
construction operations has not yet
been decided.
The proposition, however, is now
occupying the attention of Mr. Charles
M. Hays, president. During his recent visit here Mr. Hays examined two
prospective sites, the locations of which
are being witheld for obvious reasons.
The company has already acquired
a site for its proposed one million dollar
hotel at Victoria. Mr. Hays has also
under advisement the question of erecting a modern hotel at Edmonton and
one may also be erected at Prince Rupert
in time for the completion of the main
line.
Funds for Street Construction
Arrangements have been concluded by
the Finance and Assessment Committee
with the Bank of Montreal for the
necessary funds for carrying on the
work of planking, etc., on Fraser street,
Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth streets,
and Fraser street to Third avenue, also
Eleventh street, Beach Place and Tenth
street, and Hays Cove avenue and
Eighth avenue to Kelliher street.
Sentenced For Ore Stealing-
Cobalt, .Sept. 15.���(Special)���James
Connely and Paddy Ryan have been
sentenced, the former to two and the
latter' to five years imprisonment for
stealing ore from the Nova Scotia mine.
Arranging For Stock
The Wholesale Liquor and Supply
Co., are now arranging for their stock
in Vancouver. They will have several
agencies and will in a few days be opened
for business. Their premises will be on
First avenue in the building formerly
occupied by J. F. Macdonald & Co., and
a number of alterations are being made
to accommodate the stock .
COAST CITY HAS
NO WATER FRONT
PRINCE RUPERT'S PRESENT
PECULIAR POSITION
Mayor Says This Matter Muat Come
Up in Question of Quid Pro Quo in
Coming to an Agreement With
G. T. P. Over Aaaeasment.
Gen. Superintendent Mehan of the
G. T. P. has called the city council's
attention to the offensive odors emanating from the garbage got rid of in
the neighborhood of the wharf. He declares that passengers from the G. T. P.
boats have had to come ashore to avoid
it. He thought it a matter for the Health
committee. Aid. Barrow agreed that
the shore was often pretty badly defiled
by garbage.
Aid. Pattullo: "That suggests the
question of a waterfront for the city.
We need to have a waterfront of our
own."
"Yes" said Aid. Hilditch "we are
in the position of being a city on the sea
coast which has not even as much
waterfront as will serve to tie up a scow.
When Premier McBride comes it will
be advisable to put this matter very
strongly indeed before him."
Ald.Barrow asked if the government
was still considering the city's application for a site for an electric station
which included a piece of waterfront.
The mayor said he believed so, but
pointed out that it would be an expensive
waterfront to work owing to difficulty
of access over the G. T. P. tracks.
Aid. Lynch: "It is not so much a
question of getting a waterfront as of
getting access to it. There are waterfronts available, but no streets to them."
Aid. Pattullo suggested a waterfront
which he believed the city could have
provided the G. T. P. would allow it.
It needed the construction of a plank
roadway to it about as far as to Davis'
boat house.
The mayor: "In these days, with assessment revision problems in the air,
and talk of quid pro quo, I think this
matter will find its place pretty soon,
and will come up in connection with
the matter of the city's coming to an
agreement with the G. T. P. regarding
that assessment."
CUT STEWART OUT

Big Steamers in Future
When the Prince Rupert gets in this
evening she will nave completed her
last trip to Stewart for the season.
Both she and the Prince George will

NINEMILE MINING COMPANY
General Manager Here to Purchase
Part of Winter Suppliei
Frank A. Brown, manager of the
Hazelton Ninemile Mining company,
came in on the Inlander yesterday and
is staying at the Inn. He is here on a
business trip in connection, with his
company and says that the Lead King
property and also the Homestake, both
holdings of his company, will be worked
all winter. The company has nearly
all its winter supplies in and the rest he
will purchse here.
Union Bank Buys Site
Victoria, Sept. 14.���The Union Bank
of Canada has purchased a site at the
corner of Government street and Trounce
avenue for a price of in the neighborhood
of $160,000, on which will be erected
handsome banking premises. The
property, which has a frontage of
fifty-six feet on Government street and
120 feet on Trounce avenue, comprises
the premises of Mr. J. Wenger, jeweler,
the Hub cigar store, the Grotto saloon
and the offices of Mr. E. Musgrave,
real estate agent.
Another Report About Reid
Vancouver, Sept. 15.���(Special)���The
provincial police have received a report
that George Reid, the alleged murderer of
his wife at Clay burn, has neen seen near
Wickersham, Wash.
New Parliamentary Buildings
Winnipeg, Sept. 15.���(Special)���It is
stated that the provincial government
has purchased five hundred acres of
land at St. Vital for the new pari ia men
tary buildings.
QUESTION OF EXPENSES
Incurred on Trip to Victoria Re
garding City Charter
A report from the Board of Trade
was read It last night's city council meet
ing, re-commending the payment of
travelling expenses to G. W. Morrow
($111.10) and W. E. Williams ($416.60)
being expenses incurred over the visit
of these gentlemen to Victoria in connect
ion with the sessions of the House there
regarding the Prince Rupert city charter.
The mayor drew attention to the fact
that others besides these gentlemen had
gone to Victoria on the same business by
request, including Aid. Pattullo and
Mr. Douglas.
Aid. Pattullo said that he had not
mentioned the matter of his expenses
in council because he thought the
the matter of the expenses
of non-council members should come up
first un-complicated by the presence
of his account. He drew attention to
the fact that Mr. Agnew had been
specially requested to accompany the
committee to Victoria and thought that
his expenses should certainly be paid.
The matter was referred to the Finance
committee.
PRINCE RUPERT
NO LONGER "DRY"
THREE HOTEL AND FOUR WHOLESALE LICENSES GRANTED
Licensing Commissioners Hold Busy
Forenoon Meeting Today and Decide Granting of Applications by
Ballot���Many Held Over
TO PREVENT WATER WASTE
City Engineer Recommends Pressure
Reducing Valve
The City Engineer has presented a
report to the Fire and Water committee
of the city council stating that the present water pipes is use in the city are
for the most part calculated for a 300
foot head. They are being subjected
to a considerably greater hesd, and leakage is consequently resulting. The
engineer recommends the insertion of
a pressure reducing valve to overcome
this, and states that while the valve
will so reduce the pressure as to prevent
leakage at all times, the pressure can be
instantly brought up to the full in the
event of fire. The committee recommend
that the engineer's report be acted upon.
Petition For Plankway
A citizen's petition 'or a sixteen foot
plahk roadway on Eighth avenue at
Kelliher street and around aSeal Cove
Circle to Sixth avenue, was received
by the city council last night and referred to the Streets, Works, and Property committee.
Some men enjoy a show only when
there is fifteen minutes' intermission
between acts.
The Licensing Commissioners sat again
at 10 a.m., today in the city hall, and on
the motion of Commissioner Smith it
was agreed to ballot on the applications
for licenses. The first was that of the
Premier Hotel, T. E. Gilmore, which
was granted.
Before the ballot for the Grand Trunk
Inn Commissioner Merryfield brought
up the question of Oriental labor there,
urging that this class of labor must be
dispensed with. The question of the
possible transference of the Ueense to
another manager, and to other premises
was also discussed, and provision was
made for this by granting the license in
favor of G. A. Sweet "as manager of the
Prince Rupert Inn for the G. T. P.
Development Co." License was also
granted to Olier Besnier for the New
Knox Hotel.
There was a hitch regarding Messrs.
Corley and Burgess' application for
license for the Royal hotel. The exact
date for the posting of the application
on the building was not clear. Mr.Manson
stuck to his point that the terms of the
Act had been very reasonably complied
with and suggested that the commission
should take Mr. Patmore's opinion.
"Mr. Patmore is perfectly honest
and uninterested in the matter" said
Mr. Manson "and for my own satisfaction as well as for that of the commissioner I should like to hear his
opinion."
"There's one thing that's a cinch"
said Mr. Patmore "and that is that I'm
not here fighting with the licensing
commissioners", and he withheld his
opinion, though afterwards at the request of the mayor, he gave it in favour
of Mr. Manson's contention.
The Royal hotel application with the
other hotel applications was, however,
tabled till next meeting of the Commission
The wholesale applications came up
for ballot after some discussion regarding the extent of the commission's
jurisdiction upon these, and wholesale
licenses were granted to Messrs, Sutherland and Maynard; The Prince Rupert
Wholesale Liquor Supply Co; Messrs.
Ed. and H.H. Clarke; and the Northern
B. C. Liquor Co., Ltd. The remainder
of the applications including wholesale,
and bottle applications, and the Exchange restaurant application were
tabled till next meeting.
Commissioner Merryfield reminded
the city clerk to include with the licenses
issued to license holders copies of the
city by-law relating to same.
After some discussion regarding the
term for which licenses should run
which matter was left to be looked into
by the city solicitor it was moved by
Commissioner Smith and secondefi by
Commissioner Merryfield that the commission adjourn to meet again as a
licensing court on Saturday 15th October
at 3 p.m.
More Bad Meat
The Sanitsry Inspector again reports
the discovery of bad meat in a city store.
A side of pork and a carcass of mutton
were considered unfit for use, and ordered to be destroyed. The proprietor
of the store explained that the pork had
been ordered for a steamer and the
mutton for an hotel to be left in cold
storage until called for. THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST

SILVER CUP MINES UMITED AT
12 1-2 Cents Per Share
i
Wo are authorized to accept subscriptions at 12 1-2 cents per
share for 100 , shares Treasury Stock of SILVER CUP MINES
COMPANY LIMITED.
SILVER CUP MINES LIMITED is neither a new nor a speculative enterprise". It is a well known established company operating an extensive mining property near Hazelton, B. C. The management consisting of worthy and reliable business men of this
city whose records and executive ability are well known, assures
a conservstive business administration,
At no time in the history of mining the properties owned by
Company have they looked so well in a mining way, has development work been in such a forward state, have the ore showings
been so good. The high hopes which the management entertained
in the past are all entertained now. Whatever ambitions they
have had in the past for these properties, they have them now.
Everything that has happened regarding the development of the
properties from a mining or a company^standpoint has redoubled
their hopes and their ambitions.
As everything consistent with economical management is being
done to make SILVER CUP MINES LIMITED a dividend paying
property at the earliest possible date, we believe an early interview with any officer or director of the company will prove of
mutual benefit. As it is certain that a closer knowledge of the
property holdings and rich discoveries will convince anyone of the
advantage of investing in this issue of stock, a reasonable amount
of which is almost sure to make early purchasers rich in proportion to their holdings.
The small amount of stock offered at 12 1-2 cents is being
taken up rapidly by local sales and mail orders. We desire to distribute these shares among as many investors as possible, therefore
if you are not prepared to buy a big block of this stock, buy a
small block. Under any and all conditions become interested in
this splendid property. The Treasury fund is fast growing into
proportions that will enable the company to proceed on a scale of
development that is calculated to add great value to the shares.
As all matters pertaining'to the development of the company's
holdings are going forward aggressively, we cannot too strongly
advise you to secure an interest in the SILVER CUP MINES CO.
LIMITED at the earliest possible moment.
Full particulars of the company, its organization, properties
and development will be furnished upon application by person or
letter.
Judging by the demand for these shares, and the true merit
of this proposal, we suggest to those interested, immediate action
before the issue is fully subscribed.

ELECTRIC POWER NEEDED
This is what is known as a gasoline town. The term does not mean that
Prince Rupert will pass off in a vapor if exposed to the weather or blow up if touched
by a match. It implies that gasoline is the principle source of light and power in
the city. The city council should not loose sight of that fact. It is true that while
the clamour for electric light has been going on the members of the council have frequently referred to tlie danger of gasoline lighting plants and advocated their prohibition in Section one, but furnishing electric light as a substitute for a gasoline
will not rid the city of the dangerous fuel. There is probably more of it used for power
within the city limits than for light. There are probably a dozen plants in operation
now, some of them turning machinery absolutely necessary to the development of
the city. Electric lights will not dispense with these. Others plants are being installed while many small industries are being held out because no safer power is
available. Modern mechicanical applicances such as elevators for warehouses and
hotels are needed if the city is to make progress and we cannot get these without
electric power.
When the new city plant is being installed provision should be made not only
for electric light but also for at least a small supply of electric power. Until that
power is forthcoming the use of gasoline cannot be dispensed with. The supplying
of such power is a duty of the council.
WHITE PASS GETS DESERVED SCOLDING
The people who are developing the north part of this province and part of this
parliamentary constituency have for years been suffering a grievance from the
alleged extortionate rates charged by the White Pass and Yukon railway. The
people of Atlin and those of Yukon have petitioned the Canadian government again
and again without avail. The matter has been before the railway commission, and
an order was made that the White Pass must file a schedule of its rates with the
government. Perhaps it was the fact that it was an American corporation, with some
fourteen out of its hundred and twelve miles of road in United States territory,
that led this company to laugh at all orders from the Canadian government, and
go on doing just as it pleased. The interstate commerce commission has also been
appealed to in vain, as the road, not being between two states, is out of the jurisdiction of that body.
But Colonel Conrad, who claims to have expended some eight hundred thousand dollars on mining development near Atlin, on promises of a rate made by the
railway company that it always evaded fulfilling, has at last got the matter before
Judge Mabee, and that fearless chairman of the Canadian railway commission
has given the self-complaisant president of the road a talking to that he will not
soon forget. Also he has ordered him to file that schedule of rates. This was at the
hearing in Vancouver last week, as to which The Optimist published a brief dispatch at the time. Judge Mabee asked President Graves if he had filed a copy of
the tariff. "No," said the altogether unterrified Mr. Graves, and no doubt with a
smile. "Then are you aware that you have violated the Railways Act? asked Judge
Mabee. But he gave no time for reply. He had evidently sized up the smug Mr.
Graves and he went on in this fashion:
You want to do what you please, and the law says you cannot. It is against
these secret bargains and contracts that the law is striking. A man who ships a
ton of hay for the maintenance of one cow is entitled to the same rate as the man who
ships a thousand tons for the upkeep of a thousand cows. That principle has limi-
ations, but a secret contract in the teeth of a printed tariff certainly does not come
within those limitations. If it was left in the hands of the railway companies to
decide it would allow them to discriminate to the enrichment of one locality and
the impoverishment of another. Surely you, as president and manager of a railroad,
are acquainted with the Railways Act. I would advise you to buy one and study it."
Outside of railway officials there probably cannot be found a single person from
Skagway to Dawson but will appreciate the service Judge Mabee has done them in
thus warning a company that has grown to consider itself above the law altogether,
and they will enjoy the fine aarcasm of the judge telling the proud railway magnate
to buy a copy of the railway act and study it.

WHO MENTIONED
JACKASSES ?
LICENSING COMMISSION MAKES
INVESTIGATIONS
Alex. Manson Stickles For a Technical Point, But J. Merryfield
Proves a Stickler Too.���Suggestion That Commission is a
Long Eared One.
At three o'clock yesterday afternoon
the licensing commission met in the city
hall to consider the applications for
licenses for the sale of spirituous liquor
in the City of Prince Rupert. Present
around the table were Mayor Stork,
Aid. Smith, and J. E. Merryfield,
Licensing Commissioners, also Magistrate Carss, L. W. Patmore, Alex. Manson
Chief Constable McCarvell, and the
City Clerk. There was also a large attendance of those interested in the
granting of the licenses.
After the city clerk had read over the
list of applications, the commission
proceeded to the consideration of the
hotel applications. The burning question
in each and every case investigated,
was whether or not the notice of applications for license had been duly
advertised in the local press, and posted
in a conspicuous place upon the premises concerned, for the prescribed
period of fourteen days previous to the
commissioner's sitting. The parties
making application, or their representatives, were examined upon oath regarding these matters, and in connection
with the newspaper publication of the
application the testimony of the managing
editors of the papers concerned was
also taken.
In giving his affidavit regarding the
posting of the application by Messrs.
Corley & Burgess, Mr. Manson raised
a point which took some settling, and
gave rise to a little bickering. The point
was weather the publication and posting
of the application for a period of fourteen days not immediately preceding
the session of the Commission was in
conformance with the terms of the Act
or not. Mr. Manson thought that according to a reasonable interpretation
of the Act it was. Mr. Merryfield was
not at all so sure about it, though Mr.
Manson said he would be ready to conduct free of charge the case of any one
of his clients whose application might
fail to be upheld owing to the applications' having been posted for a period
of fourteen days not immediately preceding the date of the commission's
sitting.
'We ought to conform to a reasonable
reading of the Act, and not act like a
bunch of jackasses!" exclaimed Mr.
Manson when the discussion seemed to
lead no nearer to a solution of the difficulty.
Jackasses or no, the Commissioners
pressed on with the examination of the
applicants regarding their fulfilment of
the posting and publishing of their ap-
lications. Most of them testified that
they had more than complied with the
condition, posting the applications till
they were weather beaten replacing
them religiously when torn down and
advertising them for twice the prescribed
period in the press.
The list of hotel applications having
been dealt with the applications for
bottle licenses were next considered,
and here Mr. Manson again met with a
breeze. He was going to some length
in explaining to the commissioners the
difference between the form of application for hotel license and that for bottle
license. The distinction was a nice one
perhaps, at all events Aid. Smith after
listening to Mr. Manson for some minutes said sauvely.
"Of course we are a bunch of jackasses
and cannot be expected to understand
these things."
"I did not say so" returned Mr. Manso.
"But you did" said Aid. Smith
"you said so a little while ago" and
Mr. Manson did not dispute the point.
The commission shortly afterwards
adjourned to examine the hotel premises applying for licenses appointing
their next session for this morning at 10.

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 moans,
which it does not seem easy to over-
slate. To those of my own j.rof'es-
sion it furnishes a method of laying
by for 'a rainy day' of all the riiost
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 thc 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 tlie
welfare of the people as a body."

"I am going to make an enquiry myself tonight" said Aid. Pattullo with a
smile in the direction of Aid. Mclntyre,
at last night's council meeting. "When
are we going to have a report regarding
the City Light Plant? I think it is
about time we had a report on this
matter."
The mayor said he understood there
was to have been a report that very
night with Mr. Durant's specifications
etc., but Aid. Hilditch explained that
Mr. Durant had gone to Vancouver to
arrange the matter which had been
delayed though the wires having been
down. The city clerk confirmed Aid.
riilditch's information.
Aid. Lynch as chairman of the Telephone and Lighting Committee admitted
that so far they had not had a meeting
on the light quasstion. "There is to be
one tomorrow" he said " and we hope
then to get some kind of light on the
subject."
Aid. Mclntyre: "The kind should be
electric light".
Aid. Lynch went on to say that arrangements would be made at the meeting to see if they could not secure a
dynamo on the coast.
Aid. Mobley spoke of the difficulty
of getting the B. C. boilers tested. So
far they had not got an enginaaer in the
city to undertake the testing, but he
was confident it could be done all right.
He was also sure that if they could get
one 150 kilowatt dynamo in Vancouver
they could get two 75 kilowatt machine,
and went on to say that it was rather
difficult at the present stage of the committees investigations to present anything but a verbal report. "We are,
however, doing everything possible to
hasten the settlement of this matter
of the light" he concluded.

PORT SIMPSON
GETS EXCITED
PROSPECTORS LOOKING FOR
LOST COAL VEIN
Deposit Found By Indians in Early
Days and Today Five Hundred
Men Have Been Unable to Locate it
Perhaps Covered by Slide
Port Simpson, B. C, Sept. 11.���A
coal strike on the coast of Northern
British Columbia is causing big excitement. An extensive coal property was
discovered on Khutzeymateen inlet,
sixteen miles north of Port Simpson.
The mine was found by Indian loggers
and staked by their employers. The
Indian tribes now claim that other coal
was brought from Work channel by
their forefathers years ago and used by
the inmates of Hudson's Bay Company's
fort at Port Simpson.
They furthermore state that the late
chief, Factor Work, of this post, used
to dispatch his coal canoes during a
morning and that they would return
with the coal the same evening, showing that the property was not far from
this port.
During the past few days some 500
prospectors have passed here in launches
and boats looking for the missing ledge.
It is supposed a slide has covered the
place for some years now, and as yet
the attempts of the prospectors have
been unsuccessful. This morning before
10 o'clock twenty miners' licenses were
disposed of at the government office.
If your grocer does not handle the red
"C" Fresh Eggs, tell him he must get
them. tf

ALDOUS & ROBERTSON, Hazelton, B.G. G. C. EMMERSON, Prince Rupert
TWO BANKS FOR SEALEY
While nothing definite has been
ascertained the rumor is prevalent in
Sealey that the Union bank will move
there from Hazelton very shortly and
that the Royal bank will also open a
branch at Sealey.
With the pay station of Foley,Welch
and Stewart at Sealey it seems that there
would be sufficient business there ��� for
both and it is thought that the rumor
may not be far wrong.
For the past few weeks Sealey has
been booming and the lots in the town-
site have been selling very rapidly.
Hotels, restuarants, clothing stores, real
estate offices and various other buildings have been erected and by fall
Sealey will be the biggest town
on the Skeena River as well as the most
prosperous and when the road reaches
the town it will undoubtedly be recognized as the premier city of the
interior.
