In their wisdom the aldermen decided last night that they has provided fcr licenses on altogether too many lines ol business and professions. They then proceeded to cut them out and now licenses are issued for only thirteen callings. The first license or tax struck out was the road tax of $2 per year on all men between the ages of 21 and 50 years ho were not otherwise taxed. By cutting out this clause all the gamblers, toughs night walkers etc., can live here use the streets, enjoy all the privileges of citizenship, get their living and never contribute one nickel to the maintenance ol the city. Anyone, so far as the by-law is concerned, is now permitted to sell opium in any quantity and to anybody. The license was east off. Among those to be licensed, along with the barristers and solicitors at per year, are medical doctors, dentists, architects, civil enginerrs or electrical engineers. Private bankers will pay $200 per year. In Committee In discussing the license by-law Aid. Hilditch said that he did not favor the tax of $2 or (road tax). He said it was a direct tax on labor and he was opposed to that. If the tax did not get after a certain element that he would like to see taxed, he would say cut it out altogether. Several men were present to hear the discussion on the license by-law. Mr. Montgomery put in an objection to the road tax and claimed that the working man paid the greater portion of the taxes anyway. He also objected to the high license on the hawkers. It was knocking out the poor man and a man- opoly creating. Another man said he was a working man and had paid $175 to bring himself and his wife from Ottawa. If these taxes were going to be placed on the laboring man he was going to get out pretty quick. The aldermen then went over the license by-law clause by clause. The license on vehicles was struck out. The licenses on wholesale, retail business and hawkers and peddlers was struck out. The $2 road tax was cut out. The $250 license on opium sillers was cut out, as was also the license on wholesale and retail traders, express companies gas, telephone, electric light, street, railway, tramway, investment and loan societies, laundry and wash houses, livery stables, owners of vehicles for hire and the license on all others in business here not covered by the by-law. The by-law as it stands now provides for very few licenses and a very small revenue. It will come up for a third reading tonight.

If the business men and the citizens want the council to take over the telephone system and run it on the municipal ownership system it is up to them to send a petition to the council. If no petition is forthcoming the council will have to grant the company a franchise and that it a very short time. Under the head of inquiries Aid. Hilditch asked the council last might what was being done in connection with the telephone petitions. Aid. Pattullo stated that the initiative should be taken by the citizens. They show considerable apathy in signing the petition or taking the initiative. They seem to think everything is up to the council, whereas the council cannot do everything. The assistance of the people must be secured. They must put their shoulder to the wheel and help the thing along. The telephone company have considerable money to pay out in a few days and it is not fair to ask the men who have carried this thing for the city to again go down in their pocket and subscribe the money. They are taking absolutely nothing out of the project. Aid. Lynch agreed with the above and said the people should certainly get the petition out and get it signed.

The sanitary inspector says that the lane in the rear of lots 21, 22, and 23 is perfectly sanitary and that Mrs. Owen's object in complaining was "o have the buildings on the lanes removed to the lots. The council also took up several other minor matters. Those present were acting Mayor Mobley, Aid. Pattullo, Mclntyre.Hilditch Lynch, Smith. The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted. Lanes are Sanitary A report from the sanitary inspector to the health committee was read as follows: "I beg to report that I have this day very thoroughly inspected the conditions of the sheds and toilets located on Second avenue at the rear of lots 21, 22 and 23 respectively, as mentioned by Mrs. Mary E. Owen in her communication to the mayor and council under date of June 18, and am pleased to state that the said buildings and surroundings in general are absolutely sanitary in every respect. "I learn from Mrs. Owen that hei motive for entering the complaint was not altogether from a sanitary standpoint, but from the fact that in the opinion the buildings in question should be on the lots and not in the lanes." L. E. M'Farlane S. E. It was moved that the sanitary inspector's report be referred to the streets, works and property committee to report on further, advising upon the action to be taken. Aid. Hilditch thought that when the building by-law was passed it would deal with this particular matter, Aid. Pattullo then withdrew his motion. In the meantime Mrs Mary Owen will be notified to that effect. Aid. Hilditch introduced by-law No 7, to regulate the erection and sefety of buildings. It was given its first reading and carried. Wants a Telephone Aid. Smith said he had been ap by the manager of the cold storage plant and asked if the council would have an objection to him placing a telephone on the old telephone line running from the old mill. He wished to connect with the hardware store for the sake of convenience until the municipal phone was ready. The line is operated between Foley, Welch & Stewart's warehouse and the hospital. The city has no authority in the matter and no action was taken. Aid. Lynch moved the first reading of a by-law governing the construction of streets under the local improvement system. The by-law was passed its first reading. It is to be known as The General Local Improvement By-law. The committee then went into committee of the whole to consider the bylaw on licenses, other than liquor licenses. Agreement to Sell One Thousand Acres. Then Believed Prince Rupert Town- site would be Several Thousand Acres.���Was Merely a Verbal Contract Between the Parties. Vancouver, June 22.���E. P. Davis, K. C, yesterday opened the case of Moreton Frewen against Charles M. Hays, president of the Grand Trunk Pacific, before chief Justice Hunter. In his opening the learned counsel stated that he asked the court to grant to his client the sum of three million dollars for breach of contract. He admitted that the agreement upon which this claim was based was a verbal one but he could produce evidence to show that it was a binding one. With such well known capitalists and financiers as Hayes Hammond and Sir Edgar Vincent his client had entered into an agreement with the defendant for the purchase of one thousand acres of land, said parcel being a part of the several thousand acres it was proposed to reserve for the townsite of Prince Rupert, the Pacific terminus of the defendant's railway. Under this agreement his client was to be permitted to purchase from the defendant any amount up to one thousand acres at a price not higher than that at which corresponding lots had prior to the transfers been offered to the public, less 25 per cent interest as a rebate for Mr. Frewen's work in interesting foreign capital in Prince Rupert townsite lots and for advertising them among influential connections. This contract had not been carried out by the defendant although the plaintiff has carried out his part of it in good faith, and he therefore asked the court to award his client damages to the amount stated. The learned counsel submitted that against this verbal claim the statute of frauds would be pleaded, but he did not see how counsel for the defence could possibly succeed upon it. HAYS COMING TO PRINCE KUPERT HEARING OF FREWEN CASE ADJOURNED TO MONDAY Frewen Admits Advertising Sale of Prince Rupert Lots Helped His Proposition.���Defence is That the Alleged Contract was Illusory. Vancouver, June 22.���E. P. Davis, K. C, closed this afternoon his opening argument in the damage suit brought by Moreton Frewen against President Hays of the Grand Trunk Pacific, but had to ask for an adjounnment for the production of evidence as to the reserve price of Prince Rupert lots in question. An adjournment was taken until Monday, and it is feared that President Hays will not be able to be present as it has been intimated that he will take a trip to Prince Rupert in the meantime. When Mr. Frewen was in the stand he admitted in cross-examination that wide advertising of the sale of Prince Rupert lots had helped his proposition. Mr. Davis said after adjournment that in any case the suit will be taken to higher court and he wished to get all the evidence in at this hearing as was possible so as to have his side of the case in first class shape. The main point of the defence is that the alleged contract was illusory.

Steamer Coquitlan, which left yesterday afternoon for Stewart with several passengers, went ashore on Digby Island at half-past three and had to remain there until midnight, when she was floated by the incoming tide.

The sash and door factory will have to build it sown roads and walks or wait its turn under the local improvement system which the council has decided to adopt. The streets committee report contrary to the company's request. The members say that it would be at variance with the policy of the council. It was suggested by the committee, that a cash bonus be given, although they would not recommend such action. The committee's report and the opinions of the aldermen are given below.. The streets committee reported as follows: It having! been represented to this committee that the petitioners for improvements through lanes adjoining the sash and door factory were pressing members of this council for definite action to the question of granting their request, this committee has been asked to make a report on the advisability of granting or refusing the expenditure asked for. Your committee beg to report that, in view of the fact that this council has, in spite of many weighty and important reasons which have been produced to influence us to adopt a different policy, have chosen to have all such work done on the local improvement plan, the cost to be borne by the lands receiving the benefit. We think it would be anything but advisable to grant the request of the petitioners. It would be at utter variance with the position we have taken in this matter. We would say that should this council desire to consider the matter in the light of a subsidy to an industry which the city could with profit assist, that we would much prefer the granting of a direct cash bonus in something like the amount that would be required to do the work asked for. We do not wish it to be understood that we in any degree recommend that the latter suggestion be adopted. W. P. LYNCH Chairman of the Streets. Works etc. Aid. Pattullo thought that as the council had no authority to give a cash bonue without submitting a by-law to the people, that the report should just be received. Aid. Lynch said that the committee did not recommend a bonus to the company but merely suggested it as a way out of the matter. Aid. Hilditch said that under the local improvement system the company might petition the council for the roads and walks, but as the cost was so small it would hardly be worth the cost of the paper it was written on. The city clerk was instructed to notify the Sash and Door factory that the system to be adopted was the local improvement system and they would have to proceed under that system. Aid. Lynch also reported that the cost of supplying lumber for building a conduit through Mr. McLellan's property on Second avenue would be $60 to $70. It would require over 3000 feet of lumber at $20 per M. He thought this would be a cheap way to look after the water running down that creek.

Gamble Notary Public SOCKEYE SEASON OPEN ON SKEENA FISHING REPORTED GOOD, BUT FISHERMEN SCARCE. This Year the Opening of the Season Is ten Days Earlier Than 1909��� Catching Twenty-five or Thirty to Boat.���Spring Fishing Is Good. On Sunday at the stroke of midnight the Skeena River cannery men rushed their fleets into the big river and dropped their nets. It was sock-eye time and there was need of haste for expenses have been heavy and up to date there has been no revenue. Besides, the fishing crews are short and the boats are limited. Also the price this year is high, which is an incentive to get big catches. Yesterday the boats reported a good day, getting twenty-five or thirty to the boat, which is a good start and makes the canneryman smile. This year the native fishermen are showing the result of approaching civilization and good times. They refuse to fish���at least many of them do. Money and living is too easy elsewhere. Very few natives from up the Skeena came down, and the Simpson and Metlakatlah Indians are not out in their usual force. Last week a cannery man went to Ketchikan, where native fishermen are usually procured, but he came back without one. Two other cannerymen are up trying their luck in the north this week.

Wednesday, June 22 TRADE LICENSES ARE EXCLUSIVE. The License By-law has passed its second reading in the city council deliberations, and will probably get its third reading this evening. The by-law is remarkable in its liberality of exemptions. British Columbia is noted for its trade taxes, but Prince Rupert is opening a new area by letting practically everyone escape the annual fee excepting the billiard man, the theatre man, the three-ball man, the soliciting agent and the doctors, lawyers, dentists, engineers, auctioneers and circus men Whether these good fellows will all be tagged like the dogs is not known but they will no doubt take great pride in being the only licensed persons in the city. They may be tempted to organize an exclusive lodge. It was originally intended to tax the man who lives here and pays on no real estate assessment, but some of the laborers kicked and the $2 per head was lopped off. Even the Chinese laundry man is let free.also opium merchants and the transfer man whose big teams wear out the board walks. All have the open sesame to the hearts of the council. Only the poor professional man whom everybody loves and the rich pawn broker whom everybody hates is going to have the privilege of paying. Letters to the Editor PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS. To the Optimist: Gentlemen.���In view of the urgency of a pay roll for our town and the great necessity of permanent civic improvements. I trust our city government may not deem me intruding upon their jurisdiction by commenting upon discussions of principles given to the public. Re frontage tax or general fund for immediate permanent streets and sewers. The writer is not familiar with how the Provincial Law deals with the disfiguring of valuable property within municipal limits, but he has a knowledge of municipal happenings in other places where frontage tax was applied for street improvements���To illustrate John Smith holds property in a local improvement district, for which he paid a high figure. Street grade necessitates a curb in front of Smith's-property to a depth of 20 feet. When permanent grade is established, pavement completed, John Smith's lot is 20 feet in the air above street grade. By frontage tax John Smith is made to pay for improving the street in front, next to have the expense of cutting his lot down to grade, next to pay for a location to remove the excess rock and muskeg to, all of which he is obliged to pay to improve a street that the whole city for all time will derive an invaluable benefit from. Does it occur to you that John Smith might have a claim for damages against the municipality for isolating his property from an advantagious business location, to one totally useless without the expenditure of a large sum of money to reduce his property to grade? Is this not a case where an injunction from the court might stay proceedings in street improvements for an indef" re period, if the frontage tax system Iiould be applied? In the infant state of our municipality with so many absentee prospectors, with so many large holders of municipal property, awaiting an improved speculation value, benefitting by every dollar spent in street improvements, the cause looks reasonable, as though the general fund principle should apply to the permanent improvement of first, Second, Third avenue and part from McBride street to Eleventh street, both inclusive, also Sixth avenue from the Acropolis to Seal Cove Circle. These streets for some years will be the main thoroughfares, and business arteries from which all other parts of the town will derive an approximate increase in value. Outside these special avenues and streets from McBride to 11th street the town should be subdivided into local improvement districts, with the request of substantial majority of property holders for permanent improve ments within a given area being granted upon the frontage tax basis. It does not seem reasonable that John Smith should be compelled to pay for grading the street in front of his property that will render it comparatively useless to him with the surplus rock removed to the hollow will supply his neighbor with a basement free of cost, and his ground from street grade, with no more additional cost than to that of John Smith, who is made to pay for suffering a loss. Streets improved from general fund is chargeable to capital account and is always an asset. Yours truly, DANIEL W. MORRISSEY HUGE POISONING PLOT Three Already Dead and Two Hundred Suffering. Vienna, June 22.���The authorities are trying to unravel a huge poisoning plot from the effects of which three persons are already dead others are suffering, some of whom may not recover. There was a great pilgrimage to the sanctuary at Trau, two thousand people being in religious procession. Many were taken sick en route, and some of the cases resulting in death an investigation was made. It was found that all the springs along the road had been polluted. A corps of doctors and nurses have been sent to the ccene to relieve the suffering. ASK FOR NATURALIZATION Judge Young Insists Upon Proper Procedure In All Cases. A large number of applications for naturalization were presented to His Honor Judge Young this morning, but very few were granted. The majority of applicants were not present and those who gave the affidavits were not present either, except in a few cases. Thus the judge laid most of them over. In other cases the papers were not properly signed. One man appeared who could not read English and his lawyer had not arrived. In reference to such cases his honor said he could not grant naturalization. Being a foreigner and unable to understand English would not debar a man but the affidavit must be properly interpreted to him. The same proceedings must apply in these cases as in all other cases before the court, otherwise the proceeding would be a farce. He would refuse to grant naturalization to anyone who could not satisfy him in person or through an attorney. A number of applications were granted but about 30 or 40 will have to come up again at the July court. Good mess of butter cakes, good cup of coffee and a good smoke to follow��� life swims in rose!

Cut out taxation improvements of all kinds. If tye ople there are really wide awake on the it cut out taxes on business al- ether. Allow even the banks and es- 5s companies and other financial ititutions which are in fact parasites, escape taxation altogether rather than J the burden of taxes on the business o, whose enterprise would build up a it citv.

Have Complete Newspaper Plants and Receive Latest World's News By Wireless.���Plenty of Advertising and Good Circulation, Not the least interesting development of wireless telegraphy is the manner in which the invention has been utilized for producing newspapers on board ship. No longer does an ocean voyage mean that one is cut off, for the time being, from news of all happenings on land.. Nearly all the big trans-Atlantic liners issue newspapers on board, and every morning passengers are served with the latest news at the breakfast table, just as they would be on land. On the voyage of the Lusitania during the recent general election in England full returns were printed in the Cunard Daily Bulletin every morning of the results announced in London on the previous night. The circulation of the Bulletin is over 2,000 a day, and has reached 2,500. It consists of 32 pages, ten inches by six inches, is excellently printed on fine glazed paper and sells at 2 1-2 pence per copy. It goes to press at 1 a.m. and is read over the breakfast table like the newspapers ashore. Most the the giant Cunarders are now equipped with a miniature printing plant, so that the passengers on board are able to secure a daily paper containing the latest world's news transmitted by wireless telegraphy. Practically everything of news value in any part of the world appears in the ocean daily as soon as it is printed in the newspapers on land. Stock exchange quotations, parliamentary items, notable events and movements of famous people all are duly recorded. Moreover, the ocean daily often gets news that the land dailies cannot get, says the London Tit Bits, for it must be borne in mind that the liners are in touch with one and another as well as in touch with land, and thus able to exchange exclusive scoops now and then. A very artistic production is the Journal de l'Atlantique, published on board the steamship La Provence of the Compagnie Generale Transatlantique. It has larger pages than the Cunard Bulletin and each number is well illustrated, the news being published in both French and English. The daily of the steamship Kaiser Wilhelm 11. has twenty-four pages, and it has so many advertisments that it can be given free to the passengers and still leave the Norddeutscher Lloyd a profit. Humorous illustrations are a feature and a puzzle page gives much amusement on the voyage. The Atlantisches Tageblatt of the Hamburg-American line is a sixteen- page sheet. It is printed partly in German, partly in English, and has a story by some popular writer. The Express Mail, published on board the Canadian Pacific Atlantic liner Empress of Ireland, is a most elegant affair. It has twelve pages, and is enclosed in a handsome wrapper stamped in gold, with an emblematic design printed in the richest colors.

Venture, upon arrival at Vancouver yesterday. The length of the new steamer is 180 feet, with a 32-foot beam and a draught of 21 feet. The Venture left on her maiden trip to Prince Rupert, Stewart and northern points Tuesday night. The more love you give the more you have left. Figure it out���it's the simplest kind of arithmetic. What's the use of bewailing the fact that you can't afford ten-centers, when there are scores of millionaires who smoke one-cent stogies because they like 'em?

Portland, Ore. June 21���What is believed to be a cold blooded murder for the purpose of robbery has just come to light and has caused a great sensation and excitement. A man named William Johnson came here a few days ago and with his wife stayed at a hotel, The man was said to have gone home, his wife paid the bill, and had the porter carry a heavy trunk from her room and check it to the railway station. Then she left. A couple of hours later, while the trunk was standing on the station platform, blood was noticed to be oozing from the bottom. A policeman was called in and the trunk opened. The body of John son was found to jammed into it. The woman was traced and arrested and also a man with her named J. F. Webb, who formerly worked in Vancouver as a printer. A large sum of money was found in the possession of the woman and it has since transpired that her husband recently sold his farm. The man and woman are likely to be charged with murder. Regulation of Wireless Washington, June 18.���The Senate today passed Senator Depew's bill regulating the use of the wireless. It requires all persons operating wireless telegraph stations to procure licenses from the Bureau of Commerce and Labor. The purpose is to prevent interference with government and other important messages. There is said to be 60,000 amateur wireless stations in the country, many of them conducted by boys, and it is claimed that in many instances they have prevented the delivery of business messages. The bill still requires the action of the house and the approval of the president, but it is claimed that if it becomes a law it will have the effect of placing all wireless operators under the control of the gov- ernent officials.
