STRIKERS FIRE ON TROOPS REVOLUTION STILL BUBBLING THROUGHOUT SPAIN On Third Avenue Has a Stock That Is a Credit to Prince Rupert The matter of the G. T. P. assessment came before the city council last night in the form of a letter from Mayor Stork setting forth the resultof the negotiations with C. M. Hays at the council representatives' interview with him yesterday morning. The letter ran as follows:- "To the City Council of Prince Rupert. "Gentlemen "I beg to report that upon the request of Mr. Charles M. Hays of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Co I had a conference with Mr. Hays this morning accompanied by Aid. Pattullo, Aid. Lynch and City Solicitor Williams. "Mr. Hays expressed his dissatisfaction with the assessment of the G. T. P. railway property, and stated that his company would not undertake payment of the taxes based on such assessment. "After a lengthy discussion of the whole question we took this view, that owing to the fact that the present assessment roll was prepared by the provincial government and handed over to the city, we are not in a position to alter the assessment roll, and therefore cannot in anyway alter the taxes to be collected. Yours truly, FRED STORK. There was no discussion upon the subject, the mayor's report being accepted by the council. RAILWAY SIDE OF ISSUE D'Arcy Tate seemed to be disappointed with the outcome of the meeting of railway officials and the city council, which took place in Superintendent Mehan's office yesterday morning. He said as much on the Steamer Prince George last night, just before sailing. He considered the position taken by the council was preposterous, and the city assessment altogether unreasonable. "Why, our company's assessments in Montreal and Toronto, the first and second largest cities of the Dominion, with all the company's buildings that have been accumulating there for many many years, is less than the assessment placed on our realty in Prihce Rupert." was the statement made by the celebrated counsel of the company. "We have here in Prince Rupert," he went on, "three hundred and forty acres of real property, which is un- Bubdivided and cannot be sold until 1963 under the terms of the Dominion Act and conforming to the bond mortgages. Yet the city has assessed this three hundred and forty acres for as General Strike Is On, Tying Up All the Shipping and Nearly All The Trains.���Troops are Fired Upon At Seaport of Bilboa. much as the balance of the townsite, which comprises seventeen hundred acres with practically all the buildings of the city on it. I think I can fairly call this an outrage." "And President Hays told the Optimis this afternoon, Mr. Tate, that the company did not purpose beginning the building of the hotel and other improvements under the circumstances?" "Certainly; that is the point. I have not had time to read the Optimist yet but take it for granted that is what Mr. Hays said. He could not very well say otherwise. It would not be a business proceeding, and the company's dry dock, shops, yards, hotel and so on must remain in abeyance meantime. "What they may do at the council meeting this evening of course I have no idea; but from what the mayor and the aldermen with him said, there is no hope of anything being done to change the situation this year. We might wait and apply to the next council, going through the same arguments and possibly with the same results. Large enterprises cannot afford to wait, or be kept waiting, in this manner. What course the company will now take has to be decided as soon as possible and decided definitely." (Special to the Optimist) Bilboa, Spain, August 29.���The situation in Spain continues to go from bad to worse and if the country is not in active revolution at the present time it is very near to it. The general strike is spreading everywhere, and this is the plot of the Carlists aided and abetted by clericals, who are actively fomenting the outbreak. Shipping in all the harbors is tied up and very few trains are running. It is said all the trains will stop tomorrow all over the country. Thousands are idle everywhere and inclined to violence. This morning all the strikers began to be violent and the troops were ordered out to restore order. The strikers fired on the troops and the latter retreated. It is feared they are in sympathy with the strikers. Additional outbreaks are predicted from various points, and news travels slowly from point to point owing to the strict censorship of the government. H. P. Campbell, has moved into his new premises on the Turner and Bennett block on Third.avenue and has opened up a most complete line of cigars, tobaccos, pipes, confectionery and fresh fruits. Mr. Campbell was formerly on Cen're street where he worked up a large business in a short time. His new store and new stock puts him in the front ranks. In fact he can safely claim to be Prince Rupert's leading retail tobacco n st. His stock is the best assorted in the city and every smoker will find his favorite brand there. Vancouver prices prevail in all lines which is an attractive feature. ... In the spring Mr. Campbell will put in a complete stock of sporting goods He has faith in Prince Rupert and sees in the near future such games as baseball, lacrosse, tennis etc. He will have his goods here in time for the opening CITY AND COUNCIL ARE STILL IN DARKNESS Prince Rupert's Lighting Problem remains pretty much as it has been, the result of last night's council meeting being again the reference of the matter to the Lighting Committee after the propositions put forward by Messrs.

TOWNWRECKED BY A TORNADO Many Dead Believed To Be Under the Ruins. Freight Train Blown Two Hundred Feet From Track���Large Elevator Thrown Across Railway Obstructs Rescue Trains. (Special to the Optimist) Jamestown, N. D., August 29.-One of the most terrific tornadoes that has ever visited the state was experienced in this vicinity last night. It entirely demolished the town of Heaton and left many dead in its wake. How many were killed is not yet known. Many injured have been dug out and cared for but it is feared a large number are buried under the ruins. The velocity of the gale can be es timated from the fact that a freight train was blown two hundred feet off the track. The train hands escaped with but comparatively slight injuries. One of the largest elevators collapsd and fell across the track. This prevents relief trains being sent into the district. A wrecking train has been dispatched from here to assist in removing the obstruction. Nearly all the wires are down, so it is only possible at present to obtain the most meagre information in regard to the extent of the disaster.

Should Council Refuse Permission To Lay Mains, Company Will Test Its Charter in the Courts���Mr. Brutinel Is Confident of Winning. "As the representative of the Tsimpsean Power Company I may say that the company realizes that the city council is not ready to approach the lighting and power question and as our company have no special object in forcing the proposition at the present time we will withdraw the offer." This was the comment of R. Brutinel, of the Tsimpsean Power Company, who presented an offer to the city council to put in a temporary plant, a summary of which was given in. yesterday's Optimist. This is the second proposition which has been withdrawn because of the procrastination of the city council. "But the Tsimpsean Power Company is not leaving Prince Rupert," added Mr. Brutinel,'"for we are going on with our gas plant. To-day we will fyle at the city hall plans of our proposed pipe lines on the streets. The mains will be on Third avenue, Eighth avenue, Sixth avenue and Comox avenue. Other streets will be served by branch lines." Mr. Brutinel said he understood that permission would be refused by the city council and that he intended testing the company's charter in the courts. He is confident of winning. The Tsimpsean company were unable to secure a Bite from the G. T. P. and intend purchasing one immediately. John Cotes of London has the contract for the plant his offer having been selected from among ten tenders.

Great Britain and Russia have notified the foreign office here of their full recognition of the move and the hermit kingdon, as such, ceases to exist. A military order was issued ��� to General Terarechi to take formal possession and news has been received that, outwardly, the change of administration was made without a slip. Unofficially there comes reports of revolt from Seoul. On Friday morning Baron Hirata, minister of the interior, summoned the proprietors of all the Japanese newspapers to his cabinet and requested them to publish no unauthorized information regarding the situation of Corea. He pointed out that such publication under existing conditions would only make the task of the Japanese government more difficult. The newspapers agreed to his wishes and nothing regarding the Corean situation, beyond official statements will be published here until the promulgation of the convention. The Japanese government which already had a large number of representatives in Corea, prepared to take over the machinery of administration in the kingdom without delay.

Tuesday, Aug. 30 DAMPENED OFFICIAL SPIRITS President Hays and his party of distinguished people left on the Prince George last night after a pleasant stay of a few days here during which they were much impressed with the city and its surroundings. Sir George Doughty in particular. Mr. Hays always brings with him men of prominence but probably no one of them was of more importance to the city than the visit of Sir George. In saying goodbye last night he said impressively "I hope to visit you again soon: probably before your new railway is completed." This undoubtedly means that, as he has stated, he if fully satisfied the cons- ditions and the situation for the building up of a great fishing industry on this coast with headquarters at Prince Rupert. This being so one may expect him to go about the establishment of such an industry immediately upon his return home to Grimsby. He is a man of large means and of powerful influence. A man who does things when he makes up his mind and does not need to form a financial corporation, with its delays, in order to carry out any plans he may form, no matter of what magnitude. It is to be hoped Sir George does come again, and soon. The ladies of the company also enjoyed their trip immensely and were not slow to praise everthing they had seen and experienced, even the weather. But among the officials, all smiling and courteous and well-met gentlemen, there was a trifle of gloom behind their charming smiles. The country was all right, the railway was going ahead fine, but the legislation of the city council did not seem to agree with them, j So perhaps their goodbye handshakes were not so cordial as those given at their greeting. And no wonder. They had been enjoying the lovliest kind of weather, j and were hilarious over everything- But a cloud "the size of a man's hand" came up ' and silence reigned.

Jv 21-lan CITY STILL IN DARKNESS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 A WEAK STAND The attitude of Mayor Stork in his letter to the council last evening stating that they could not alter the city assessmenc against the Grand Trunk Pacific as the assessment had been made by the Provincial Government, was a weak effort to slough the issue. It was a time for astute business methods, requiring firmness and sound judgment, but the aldermen attempted to throw the responsibility upon the late assessor who was appointed at the request of the citizens' committee and paid by the city. The assessor was a city officer, but even if he were a provincial officer it does not relieve the couna.il from any responsibility. It was simply a cowardly way of avoiding taking a stand which might not meet with unanimous approval. The Optimist does not advocate that the city council should give way to all the claims of the Grand Trunk Pacific, or to give up a right or just tax belonging to the city. The people must be in control if we are going to have a city, and that control must not be sacrificed; but in refusing to argue an apparently reasonable claim or give reason for turning it down shows a very disappointing weakness in the mayor and council. One of the real causes for the present difficulty with the G.T.P., which promises to grow larger with ensuing weeks, has been the secrecy which the council has maintained in its negotiations with the railway company. The question of this assessment has been before the council for some week but it was kept secret. The newspapers and the public were not let in on it. Consequently when the representatives of the railway company came up here to treat with the council and get public opinion on the question they discovered that the citizens were entirely ignorant of the issue. After the council have succeeded in antagonizing the G.T.P. and bringing on a big law suit the citizens are being let in���mostly for costs. The council have a lot of questions that are pretty big for them to handle, but treating them in private is not likely to strengthen the public's faith in them. the Wolfe creek power for four years the company reserving the right to the surplus Wolfe creek water power. Or, the company offered the city a half share in the Falls River power provided the city would assist in the development of this power. The Mayor was unwilling that the details of these propositions be made public at the present stage. The Tsimpsean proposition was not read but Mr. Brutinel was present. Seeing this Aid. Barrow wanted to know if the propositions by the Tsimpsean Light and Power Co, might be considered as separate deals. Mr. Brutinel came forward and on the request of the mayor said that this understanding of the Tsimpsean propositions could not be entertained as the two first propositions set out in the statement before the council were money losers. Aid. Barrow said that he would like to consider the city engineer's proposal to establish a steam plant at the foot of McBride street. Vhe mayor pointed out that in any of the firm's propositions set out before them the city was expected to supply poles and distributing equipment for the current supplied. In the installation of a small city-owned system the only thing really temporary about it was the engine and dynamo. The distributing plant would be permanent and city property. Aid.Mclntyre said that he believed in municipal ownership. "Let us instal A local jurist of considerable merit remarks that a bad settlement is better than a good lawsuit With three large prospective law suits already on their hands the present council can be said to be doing fairly well. Aid. Hilditch gave the Optimist a left hander last evening when he said the Optimist was the only paper the public could depend on for city news but the reporter sometimes twisted his remarks. The Alderman should remember that aldermanic remarks are not always intelligible to even a newspaper man.

Aug 22 to Sept 15 a temporary plant as we thought of before" he said, "half a loaf is better than no bread. It would be positively unfair to the citizens to go in for any company's scheme at this stage." Mr. Brutinel here asked the mayor if he might speak. "From the stand point of the Tsimpsean Light and Power Co" he said, "I feel that I must withdraw our proposition. We submitted the proposition because we thought the city wanted to solve at once both the power and light problems. Now I understand," he went on "that the city wish to consider all the propositions more fully and may instal a plant of their own." To this postponement for further consideration Mr. Brutinel said he readily agreed. "I am sure" he said "that the Tsimpsean Co. has the only practical water power for the purpose in view. We are not wolves nor beasts of prey" he said emphatically; "we are anxious to make a fair deal with the city and are confident that in time the city of Prince Rupert and the Tsimpsean Co., will be on the friendliest terms and doing mutually profitable business together." Aid. Pattullo declared himself strongly in favour of a scheme that would light the whole city. If they had this laws could be passed against the use of gasoline and coal oil. The Mayor���"The only proposition which the engineer gives us is the one costing $30,000 of which outlay half would be for steam plant." Aid. Pattullo���'"Did they find time to delay to make a census of the lights?" The City Clerk���"No, they are to do it tomorrow I understand." Aid. Naden said that as far as cost was concerned he believed that the engineers' $30,000 scheme might prove in the end the most ecominical and give the most marketable supply. He thought however that the Sash and Door factory might perhaps be approached again with a view to business and if their offer , was definitely off that the city engineer should be asked to get estimates for a ��� small power plant to tide the city over for the present. Aid. Pattullo���"I should much prefer I ' to take a month or two longer and have '. ' the larger scheme." The mayor said he was at first inclined to hitch up with the Sash and Door factory's plan. It would be only a limited light supply at that, however, and the city would put $6166 worth of machinery into the Sash and Door Co's hands. Probably the cost of plant would total up to nearly $10,000 and would not properly light even Section One. A city owned plant could be put up at McBride street on city ground on a good rock foundation, and the installation of the $30,000 plant would be adequate for several years to come. "1 am in favor of this scheme" said the mayor. Ald.Hilditch said that the Sash and Door factory sheme looked costly but It was not really so expensive and it would be ready soon while the cityl engineer's plant would take a long time to be ready. "But if we cannot get the Sash and I Door factory's plant offered over again; then I am satisfied that we can get tenders through our "wn engineers in the city of Prince Rupert who will be ready to give us light in a very short time. We could get estimates from firms in Vancouver who could give us power and give it to us early. But even if we get only 2,000 lights from the Sash and Door factory it is better than no light at all. We were in the dark last year it is true, and none of us liked it. I thtok we should call for tenders on the specification of our engineer and put a time limit of say twelve weeks on the work." Aid. Lynch said that he had installed boilers and engines nearly as big as those proposed for the Sash and Door factory scheme in two weeks. Aid. Hilditch asked how it was that the city engineer had figured it would take so long to instal a plant, and Mr. Burns who was present explained that the engineer had been liberal in allowing the time set. Aid. Pattullo���"You know how long it took us to get our telephone system." The Mayor-"I think a complete plant could be purchased in Vancouver" Aid. Pattullo-'Td like to see the Light Committee bring in a report on this plan of getting estimates o our own account. If we wait until next year our successors in office will just be in the same position as ourselves flfl Aid. Smith���"I do not think we should tie up with the Sash and Door factory Rather than buy our juice from some* company we should put in our own plant and make our own juice." Aid. Barrow���"We want to be sure that the rate can't be so dear that no one can buy it. I think the engineer should be instructed to go ahead with a plant of our own. In fact I am glad the Sash and Door factory plan is oft. Our own plant would be more efficient and probably safer." Aid. Hilditch who meanwhile had been having a little talk with Mr. Burns rose to say that he understood it would take from six to eight weeks to put in a city plant. ""Let us send wires down to Vancouver and have a lighting plant quickly" he said. Aid. Pattullo "I am in favor of the Lighting Committee bringing in that report in written form." Aid. Lynch���"The cost for a 150 Kilowatt plant will probably work out much the same as that for a 75 Kilwatt plant���perhaps less". The Mayor���"Alderman Mobley is in Vancouver now, and we can wire him to go into the cost of a 300 h.p. plant.'' Aid. Barrow���"are we committed to steam?" Aid. Pattullo���"Is the site decided on?" The Mayor���"Had it been decided at first to put the plant in hand instead of on the water front it would have been ready by now." Aid. Hilditch���"We are likely to be here all night and yet do nothing." Aid. Smith���"The committee should attend to it." Aid. Hilditch���"They have had it and they have done nothing. You do something." Aid. Smith as chairman of the Light Committee thought that if given fair time the committee would still deal with the matter in the best way. Aid. Pattullo���"Let them get ahead as expeditiously as possible but no: wire to Vancouver. Wiring won't help us any. We can't have it till the 1st of December. We are not going to have it on any consideration this winter." Aid. Hilditch���"That's cheery news". Aid. Pattullo���"News you might have realized was coming anyway." Aid. Hilditch moved that the matter be referred to the Light Committee with powers to use the wires as much as ever they wanted to. The motion that the matter be referred to the Light committee was carried. Mr. Durant then asked if his firm's proposition was absolutely laid aside and on being told that as matters stood it wbs, suggested that as engineer and agent for his firm he would be pleaded to advise the committee on the matter of a lighting plant as he had figures necessary and other information useful? to them at this time. The mayor said that the committee would be pleased to avail themselves of Mr. Durant's services.

SIR WILFRID'S PARTY LIKE BOYS AT PLAY Transcontinental Dialogues and Breezy Talks Behind the Scenes, Told by Augustus Bridle ln Canadian Courier. The National Transcontinental Grand Opera Company is not yet stranded. The bright particular stare, Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Hon. George Graham, have played to capacity houses ever since they struck the West. Travelling in their own private train, as exclusive as any circus, this aggregation of stars of the first magnitude have kept on trail of the advance agent without having to jump a single hotel bill or leave any luggage as security���and they will not be under the necessity of counting ties to get home. The play bill ln the centre of this page presents a few random scenes from the Grand Trunk Pacific drama��� which a few years ago began to be written round the legend, "Cox can't Wait," and at which several playwright people, particularly in the House of Commons and the sanctums of sundry editors have been tinkering ever since. This opera contains two scenes; one from Winnipeg to Monston; one from Winnipeg to Prince Rupert. The griginal cost of staging the eastern scene was supposed to be fifty-one millions. This has been amended. What the other scene cost nobody seems to care; so long as it keeps moving. The photographs were taken at a point west of Superior Junction. Similar pictures might have been taken a few days earlier of another impressive scene on the eastern section; when the new town of Graham, north of Fort William was christened; but the photographer was not there. The actors are in the best of spirits. Scene: Rather wild country; early morning; background of spruce and jackpine; tepee of some Cree Indians over by a wooded creek. Enter from the green room���Pullman ���the Premier, Hon. George Graham, Senator Gibson, Mr. E. M. Macdonald, Mr. F. F. Pardee, Engineer Poulin, and Mr. McArthur (constructionist), both of the G.T.P. and Secretary Jones of the Railway Department. Premier: "Ah! A perfect natural theatre." Macdonald: "Oh Wabigoon! List to the murmuring jackpines." Graham: "George! I'm hungry. I could eat a bushel of huckleberries." Goes picking berries. Macdonald: "Hram! Wish I had Graham's Irish temperament. He doesn't seem to realize, Gibson, that we're halted between Manitoba and the Tory editors raising the deuce about the cost of the G. T. P. eastern section. Just a few miles from here are the very rocks that George E. Foster was chucking across the House last session. A few hours more and we'll be hearing howls from Manitoba about boundaries." Pardee: 'Don't worry, Mac, The West likes oratory." Senator Gibson; "And there's room for thirty millions in the golden, glorious West." . Graham: "Good! tt's poetry they want I could write odes 'here. I'll do one���" Macdonald: "Yes, sort of a box-car sonnet, eh?" Pardee: "How many of the thirty millions will be good Grits?" Gibson: "That's what we're out to discover." Graham: "Sir Wilfrid laughs. What now? Beg pardon, Sir Wilfrid!" Premier (broadly hilarious): "Ah, Graham! How I wish Edward Blake were here. What a contrast we should show him!" Graham: "Yes. Pity we can't use that axlegrease allusion, though Sir John should have made that speech about the C. P. R. Still we can't kick. The G. T. P. is far more spectacular." Macdonald: "History in politics is a queer thing. Now, George Brown would have gone jn for the National Policy if Sir John Macdonald hadn't forestalled him. But we can't work that out West. Farmers out there don't believe in a protective tariff. Guess we'll stick to tariff for revenue only." Pardee; "Well, we'll soon be out of the Tory editor belt, anyway. No matter what the western part of the road cost so long as it hauls out the wheat soon enough." Gibson: "What a magnificent country! Dulce el decorum est pro patria���" Sir Wilfrid: "Sh! We have not finished our work. Eh, my friends, but we are a long way from Ottawa; here in the haunts of the fur trader. Twenty- five years ago here the tomtom thumped to the whizz of the tomahawk. But now we are near the borders of a land where peace and plenty sit smiling upon every hill; where the smokes of the settlers rise like incense over a land that calls the nations of the world; and the Grand Trunk Paxific shall carry them."(Re- tires a few paces to inspect the track.) F. F. Pardee: "Wonder where Oliver is now?" Macdonald: "In the land of the midnight sun wearing Lochieux. Ho-ho!" Graham: "Mac���I think you mean Shoepacks." Gibson: "That's nothing. Earl Grey will wear moccasins anon." Premier: "I say, friend McArthur��� what weight of rails are these?" McArthur: "Ninety pounds, Sir Wilfrid; made in Canada." Premier: "Good! But I really should have thought���that a steel rail was heavier; much heavier. Humm!" Graham: "Say, boys, we've got time for a song before breakfast. You know I used to lead a choir down in Morris- burg. What's the matter with a quartette? Here, Pardee���you take the air: Senator Gibson, first bass���" Pardee: "Out on first! Macdonald to bat." Graham: "Order, fellows! We can't play baseball here. Wait till we get to the prairie. Mac���you'll take second bass. Now what'U we sing?" Gibson: "Humm! How about that touching parody���'Anybody Here Seen Lumsden?'" Premier: "Ah, no! Sing O Canada!" They sing; but the combined effect is so much like "Yip-i-addii-ay!" that the Indians in the background begin to beat tomtoms. Suddenly in the midst of the jubilation when the ardour of patriotism is at fever heat and the party have forgotten both politics and breakfast in the contemplation of the country, the whole country and nothing but the country���in rushes Secretary Lemaire frantically waving a copy of a Conserva-. tive paper dropped from a handcar He makes direct for the Premier, who adjusts his glasses. x "Treason, Sir Wilfrid!" The Premier: "Eh?" Scanning the front page. "What's this? ]}Jever!" All: "Why, what's the matter, Sir Wilfrid?" The Premier���paling a little; speaking slowly: "Ah! Merely a canard. I am sure of it. Hays would never do such .a thing. No, no. There is nothing in this. I am quite sure the Globe has nothing of it. Absurd! To think, Graham, that our good Canadian wheat should ever get to the Atlantic by way of Chicago, robbing us of the eastward haul. Why, all this magnificent Winnipeg-to- Moncton section would be nothing but a white elephant!" Graham: "Fudge! We should have annexation next. No, we'll have the Georgian Bay Canal��� or my name's not George." The Premier: "Yes. It must never be said���that the road built by Tories is most patriotic, more Imperial���than the Grand Trunk Pacific. No, my friends, every rail in .this road is a new link in the Empire; every tie binds us yet more closely to the Mother Country. Have no fear. Mr. Hays will contradict this. It is a Tory hatch." Convention turns upon the Intercolonial, whose perennial deficit Hon. George Graham is credited with turning into a surplus, thereby depriving Tory editors of much good slangwhanging copy. Suddenly enters the Globe reporter reading aloud the head-line��� "Mackenzie wants the Intercolonial"; which so perturbs Mr. Graham that he thinks he is an editor again. Comes a lettergram wire from Hon. Mackenzie King to the Premier: "Hays misbehaving; am quoting you copy of his last two-line note���" Graham: "By George! These old roads are more troublesome than the new one. Seems to me this iB a railroad government���" Pardee (Slily): "Say, Macdonald, the Minister of Labour may be Premier- ristic material; but it seems to me���" Macdonald: "Hmm! Same here." Graham, sonorously: "Come to breakfast boys!" WATER NOTICE Notice is hereby Riven thai .... ... n be msde under Psrt V ol th" *V, '''?,ion ��1 to obtain a license in the Skeen.

Ottawa, Aug., 25.���A report is expected to be ready for the forthcoming ' session on the cost of the projected new piece of the Welland canal. A departmental staff of three engineers and twelve assistants are now making surveys of the proposed routes, particularly with reference to the quality of excavation. A rough estimate places the cost at $50,000,000. This would provide at 21-foot waterway. It is pointed out, however, that it would also be necessary to deepen the St. Lawrence canals to make thera correspond. If the new one were built the present Welland canal would be required for through traffic till those on the St. Lawrence were changed.

Fulton St. and Third Ave. ALDERMEN TALK OF INFLUENCE GRADING OF AVENUES ON WHICH THEY HAVE PROPERTY Aid. Mclntyre Remarks on Grading of Second and Third Avenues Taken Exception to by Aid. Pattullo And the Mayor. At the City Council last night after the discussion of the Lighting Problem, Aid. Smith introduced and Aid. Barrow ���poke further on the subject of the grading of Third avenue which Aid. Barrow understood was to be done before that of Second avenue was finished. It was necessary, he thought, to make sure that this would not hinder progress on Second avenue, and thought that Third avenue ought not to be begun until Second avenue was finished. Aid. Hilditch thought as the citizens were paying themselves for the work they were entitled to say which avenue should be done first. Aid. Mclntyre said that the very fact that Aid. Barrow thought that 3rd avenue should wait till 2nd was finished on account of the traffic on it was an argument that 3rd avenue needed grading as much as or more than Second avenue He drew attention humourously to the fact that four aldermen resided on Second avenue rather suggesting that this was the reason why Second avenue was having attention before Third. Aid. Pattullo���"I'd like to ask Aid. Mclntyre what he means?" Aid. Mclntyre���"I will tell you that Third avenue badly needs grading." Aid. Pattullo���"I want to know if Aid. Mclntjre means that any alderman living on Second avenue has interfered in the matter of the grading?" Aid. Mclntyre said that he had re ferred to no one in particular, but added that Aid. Pattullo seemed anxious to be the scape-goat in this matter. Aid. Pattullo���"If Aid. Mclntyre doesn't mean to insinuate anyone in particular then I have no objection to his remarks; if he does, then he has no right to make them." Aid. Mclntyre���"Aid. Pattullo entirely misunderstands me. I intended to joke a little along this line, and did not think Aid. Pattullo would take me seriously." Aid. Barrow���"Allow me to speak one moment. Both streets are busy streets and need nothing." Aid. Pattullo���"I like a joke as well as any man, but not a joke with an insinuation in it and that is why I took exception to Aid. Mclntyre's remarks. I do not think this is the proper spirit for carrying on the work of this council." Aid. Smith said that he had not brought up this question to get aldermen into a scrape but rather as a matter of making sure that the matter was being attended to as expeditiously as possible by the city engineer. The Mayor���"Our engineering staff are mighty busy people and we don't want to be on their neck all the time. Incidental work keeps creeping up for them such as the recent water pipe extension which has leen made. "But with Aid. Pattullo" went on the mayor "I take exception to any insinuations that the work on Second avenue was carried out simply because four aldermen and incidentally the mayor himself happened to live there." Aid. Hilditch ��� "Three important buildings are being kept back because the grades on Third avenue are not yet ready. I think that is all that was intended by Aid. Mclntyre's remarks, and I hardly think Aid. Pattullo should have taken exception to them so readily. If I were as ready to take exception to all Aid. Pattullo's remarks as Aid. Pattullo was in this case with Dr. Mc lntyre's I would be at it every night." Aid. Pattullo���"I have certainly never criticised Aid. Hilditch's motives or the motives of any other member of council. I am not going to criticise the motives of any member of this council because I do not consider I have any right to do so, and I merely expect similar treatment from othe: members."

The shipment is an exceptionally large one and comes direct from the factory in New York, consequently the prices will be the lowest ever seen in Prince Rupert. CALL EARLY AND GET THE FIRST CHOICE SIMON'S FAIR Third Ave. Trouble Over Tenders There is a bunch of trouble looming up over the Second avenue street grading tenders. The tender of S. P. MeMordie was made up on his own estimate of quantity of rock and earth whereas those of the other contractors was made on a basis of 20 per cent earth and 80 per cent rock. Thus the bulk prices are mixed although the prices per yard would work out satisfactorily. However, the contractors will make trouble no matter which way the award is made and there is probability of a .aw suit.
