Prince Rupert Optimist DAILY EDITION VOL. I, NO. HI Prince Rupert, B.C.. Thursday, September 15. 1910. Price, Five Cents 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. was moved that the report be re- It . - -�����������*. viae; ��� % wed back to the streets committee m ��rder that petitioners might be given ^opportunity to consult with the com- | mittee further on the subject. lout ft, HiWitch' however. rose to point I *,��,,. thc pr��P��rtion of assessment I.W u mde alte">��on to be 1(5 ?>y.0wrrs was very heavy. f��My I Soa.��t; Tme he knew of one owner I W����ud that he wanted the work done lUtoV1000' lot Mi- Mobley IS " WM ��dizing the city's EtV 7emend0��s extent for the R? aalf7,.citi^ to go on with ItouX *" Btage- ^aUy Aid.

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 Prince Rupert the Terminua for the 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 make this port the terminus in the future and under the present schedule will remain in port thirty-six hours. 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.

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.

Thursday, Sept. 15 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.

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. The Most Eminent Thinkers 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 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."

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.

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.
