BE BECAUSE he has a better knowledge of Prince Rupert's civic affairs than anyone else. BECAUSE his honesty and Integity ts" above reproach. BECAUSE he thoroughly understands municipal law and systemitiz- ing municipal work. BECAUSE financiers to whom Prince Rupert must go for heavy loans demand a big, clean man who has had experience in handling public funds. BECAUSE he knows where to start and how to start organizing the civic administration. BECAUSE he has the confidence of the Provincial Government, with whom the city will have considerable important business transactions within the present year. BECAUSE his policy is straightforward, good business and allows no room for juggling. Ottawa, May 13���Following the appalling loss of life in the Hull explosion on Sunday the announcement has been made by William Templeman, Minister of Mines, that at the next session he will introduce a measure providing for the examination and testing of explosives by the government, and for regulations as to its manafacture. He recommends that government inspectors be appointed with large powers to enforce the law. Heavy penalties for breach of the law The Metlakatla band and Kaufmann's orchestra were present and at the opening of the meeting, and in between the addresses rendered selections, which were greatly appreciated by the audience and kept them in very high spints, although the music was hardly necessary to create any enthusiasm among Mr. Manson's hundreds of supporters. G. W. Arnott was the first speaker of the evening, and he was given a warm reception. He stated that he came into the field without apology to. anyone. He was out to run and he would never be idle. He was proud to be supporting the first mayor of Prince Rupert, William Manson. As he went around and sized up the situation he could see where Mr. Manson was gaining ground. He was a strong advocate of the single tax, which was the best for Prince Rupert, and everyone who had the interest of the city at heart should gel out and work for the single tax..

Gavin Vancouver Newspaper Limitations. The Rev. James McLeod, a Presbyterian minister, of Pasadena, Calif., undertook to edit, for one day, the Pasadena Star. At the end of the day, he said: "My time is now almost up as I pen this last line; my hand is almost paralyzed; my brain is befuddled, and I am free to confess that I am right glad to vacate this holy spot. Such rush and riot and disarray! Such a jumble and potpourri! It strikes me as a daily effort to bring order out of chaos, and to do it lightening quick. lam reminded of the memorable words: " 'The earth was without form and void, and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the spirit moved upon the face of the waters' " "Never shall I criticise newspaper men more. I shall pray for them. They shall have my heart's forbearance, henceforth and forever, the hardest worked, shortest lived, brainworkers on this watery old world of ours." While this confession is flattering to the pride of journalists, it is quite likely that the reverend gentleman was carried to extremes by the novelty of his experience. In a few days he would have discovered that there is routine and method in newspaper work, as in all others, and that everything on a newspaper is not done in a headlong rush. Nor is there any reason why he should cease to criticise the papers; what he ought to learn from practical experience is to remember their limitations. The book, the pamphlet, the Parliamentary debate, the public meeting, can still give us something that we cannot find in the newspaper and unreasonable criticism of the newspaper are equally to be avoided.���Toronto Star.

If he was elected, he would prove that he was a man and if he was otherwise in any particular he would be satisfied to retire. He was one of the pioneers of Prince Rupert, having been here a year before the sale of lots. He was interested in the city and wanted to see it grow into one ol the finest in the Dominion. Applause. D. W. Morrisey was the second speaker. He was sorry not to be present on the previous evening, but he was not feeling well. He was glad to report that from what he had learned from the multitude of the people who gather a- round the wharf, that William Manson's election ,jyas positively assured Applause .. Furthermore, he was able to report that V. W Smith and G. W. Morrow would also be elected Applause . He said that he had been slandered by an employer of a well known wholesale house who said in a restaurant that. he the speaker had been responsible for the employment of the Japs on the G. T. P. He said that in all his life he had not employed, or consented to the employment of Japanese, and moreover he had never given a nickle of his money to the Japs. Applause. As to the temperance question.he said he was not a temperance crank, nor was he a drinking man. He wanted to see licenses, but he wanted also to see them under CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST P< SI R M R P.

The coal mines owned by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, near the town of Telkwa, in the Bulkley Valley, have been vigorously developed since work was started last fall, and during that time over 1600 feet of underground work, tunneling, etc., has been done by the gang under C.E. Betts, superintendant, and J. Goldsworthy, foreman. Lots of coal was opened up and the properties are looking extremely well. These mines will necessarily be the main dependence of the G. T. P., for a long distance to the east and west, and, so far as known, is the only coal property owned by the Railway Company in British Columbia. It is understood that work will be continued until the mines are in shape to produce several hundred tons daily by the time steel is laid to the property. Stewart Has Snow Yet. J. N. McPhee, of Stewart, who is in the city, says that Syewart is busy and has lots of people going in on every boat. At the present time there is still lots of snow on the ground.

The liquor license question is the one issue in the civic campaign in which there is a marked difference of opinion between the mayoralty candidates. The Stork ticket passed up the issue until forced to take it up by Mr. Manson's straightforward declaration. Mr. Stork now says he is for high licenses. Mr. Manson says he believes in hotel licenses and first-class restaurant licenses after a plebiscite has been taken on the question of whether or not there shall be any licenses. According to the expressed opinion of nearly all the public men in the city, the citizens should have the right to say whether they shall have licenses. To refuse the plebiscite now is breaking faith with the citizens. It shows the difference between a man who makes good on his promises and a man who trims sail to suit altered conditions. There is no hardship in having a plebiscite immediately after the municipal election. It can be secured while the license board is being organized and while the application for licenses are being advertised. There need be no delay; yet in the meantime the electors bave had an opportunity to express their opinion. The majority must decide. The composition of the license board is not vested in the city. The Mayor is ex-officio a member and the chairman. The Provincial Government then appoints j the other two members���one is taken from the City Council, and the other is a I citizen without office. Thus the control is with the Provincial Government, or! with the member who has the nomination of the appointees. Whether we agree or disagree with this system or patronage does not affect the issue. The fact remains that William Manson is the man who really controls the situation, and when he promises a plebiscite it not only shows a manly and honest course, but he is ready to deliver the goods. If William Manson desired to use his position and privileges to make promises and gain the support of the liquor element, he is the one man who could do it; but he is honest enough to leave it to the electors. Manson's policy is for the people. Do you pppreciate it?

Those interested in the Silver Cup Mining Co., received a most pleasant surprise yesterday when Mr. J. D. Campbell, the superintendant, arrived in the city with a load of ore which he took out of the mine. It filled the hearts of the directors with joy for it is the best ore which has yet been discovered in this district. The samples he brought down were by no means selected, yet the lot would assay at least $160 to the ton, while some of the samples would go much higher. Mr. Campbell will return to the mines shortly and upon his arrival will begin with greater energy, the season's work, and he has his work cut out for him too. The company intends to ship 100 tons of ore from Silver Cup and 100 tons from the Rising Sun this summer. At present the ore has to be packed out, and that is a difficult proposition until all the snow has gone. The Silver Cup mine is on the top of the mountain, at an altitude of some 6000 feet and there is still 10 to 15 feet of snow, which will not be all gone until July. The company has two claims in the corporation the Silver Cup and the Silver Dollar, and two other claims in the same lead. On the Silver Cup they have one tunnel 200 feet long, arid they got ore the full distance from a few inches to two feet wide. They are now putting down the Winze, and immediately on Mr. Campbell's return he will start a new tunnel to be run back 500 feet. There will be ten men or more working all summer, as the Company intends to get as much development work done this summer as possible. This is one of the best mines in Northern British Columbia, and it is the most promising. A number of local people have purchased the stock already and are holding onto it. *W*VW+*\A/W '^^WW\ Newsboys' Contest Commencing Monday afternoon the Optimist will open a contest test among the newsboys���the boys who brighten the newspaper office every afternoon with a bedlam of noise that drowns the clatter of the monotype.

As to the labor question, he was heartily in accord \ with their platform, from the top line to the bottom, and he would support i it through thick and thin. Further, he would give Mr. Hilditch his undivided support. The speaker also touched upon the financial question. He favored a long term loan for.street improvements but shorter time loans for water, light and telephones, as these last mentioned utilities will be self supporting and will look after themselves. In concluding, Mr. Morrisey was roundly aplauded. T. Y. McKay secretary of the I. W. W., was called upon next and he was well received. All were interested in municipal government, and all over the continent there was a lot of corruption in many centres. How does it come about? It is through a series of influences at work. Corporations are the chief force and they must either be controlled by the council, or control the council. There is only one and that is socialism. In this election the fight seemed to be between the two mayoralty candidates. He had a personal objection to Mr. Stork being elected mayor. It was because he claimed to be a pioneer in the city, and in the telephone question. He claimed to have seen the approach of the B. C. Telephone batallions. But what did he do? ���he organized the sock- eye and Muskeg militia. He wants to be major and mayor at the same time. Stork claimed William Manson crawled into the jobs, but he is doing exactly the same thing himself, and more. "Gentlemen,"said Mr. McKay, "Mr. Manson is the man for Mayor of this City." Applause. Mr. Kaufmann when called stated that he had been asked if he was a union musician. He said, yes, and he had his card with him. He hoped that union musicians would be employed universally in future. He was strongly in favour of Mr. Manson and Mr. Morrow and hoped that they would be elected William Manson was warmly received and expressed his pleasure in hearing the previous speakers, who had given very interesting and practical speeches. In reference to his platform, he said that the more he considered the items, | the better ho liked it. It was a business ; proposition that could be worked out, and would have to be worked out. He : denied the rumors being circulated that he was brought out by a clique. | He had no strings attached to him whatever He would proceed along his own lines and no one, or any number, could drive him. He said that, as he proceeded with his canvas, he was meeting with increased encouragement and his election one week from to-night was assured that the excellent men supporting him would also be elected. Applause. He put in a good word for Mr. Morrisey, who, he stated, was a very good man and one who had given great thought to public questions. He was sure that Mr. Morrisey would get a very large support. Someone asked Mr. Manson to explain the situation in regard to the water in Woodworth lake. Mr. Manson did so, and pointed out that the Prince Rupert Light and Water Co., had no longer any rights on the lake that were worth anything. The city would get a reserve of 300 inches of water and that water comes here first, so that the Company's option is useless as far as power purposes are concerned. The company has done nothing If he���the Speaker���was elected, he would make a direct application to the Government for the 300 inches and later take proceedings to expropriate the company's water privilege. The cost to the city would not be at any figures presented by the company, but an arbitrator's figures. The company had practically spent no money and therefore their rights are worth nothing like $30,000 and he would not think of paying any such figure. Union Transfer & Storage Co.

We all chipped in in the hope and expectation that if we were snuffed out by either sickness or accident, the neighbors would do as much for us. Life insurance avoids the uncertainty of leaving things to neighbors. It is a business plan, founded on laws of mathematics and sound economy, to provide for those dependent on us in case of death. Life insurance is no longer a charity, or quasialtruism, any more than fire insurance is. Life insurance is a duty and a privilege. To eliminate the distressing results of death, through insurance, payable to business Eartners, wife, or children, seems ut common prudence. Lord Nelson in his will left his wife and daughter "to the tender care of the British Nation, to which I have given my life." And the wife and daughter gravitated to the Poor House; for what is everybody's business is nobody's business. Don't leave your loved ones to the care of the public or the neighbors. The neighbors may have troubles of their own. Cut out the risk and worry by insuring in the Sun Life of Canada The cost is nominal; the results phenomenal. Let us talk the matter over with you. F. B.

B B B B E B B E E H E E E I I I I i LOCAL The hospital board meets this afternoon in the court house. The government steamei Falcon has returned from a month's holiday in the south and is at Essington ready for police duty on the wicked cannerymen. It is reported among the local mining men that an excursion of mining men I from Cobalt and Toronto is being organ- ized to visit Stewart in the near future. The fame of Stewart is spreading far. The Rupert City unloaded several hundred barrels of cement at the Foley, Welch & Stewart dock yesterday for j the concrete work at the Zanardi Rapids Bridge.. The cement was put on to a scow and has been taken there. The Omineca Herald says: "The clearing of right of way on the G. T. P., which has been progressing all winter and spring, is nearly completed as far east on the second section as Morice- town, thirty miles east from here." | It is reported that a theatrical company intend erecting a $50,000 theatre on Third avenue. They intend putting in a moving picture show for a start and i obtaining the best pictures available, j The stage will be large enough to accomo- j date a stock company which they hope to have here this summer. It is currently reported that- many names have been placed on the voter's list who are not British subject:', or who have not resided in the city for six1 months. It may be that some of these people do not know the same penalties apply to the taking of a declaration which is not true as to perjury. Fire Was Checked. W. E. Burritt and family, who reside at the corner ol Centre St., and Second avenue, were nearly burned out this morning and had it not been for the prompt action and good work of several young men, the whole block would have been enveloped in a few minutes. About a quarter after eight, while breakfast was being prepared, the wooden wall took fire from the stove and had burned into the partition. An alarm was given and F. B. Deacon and H. F. MacLeod, who have rooms next door, hurried to the assistance. By the use of plenty of water and the pulling off of a number of boards on the outside, they succeeded in extinguishing the glames. They were assisted in the work by Geo. Leek. Only a few dollar's damage was done. PORTLAND CANAL STOCKS. Latest Quotations From Vancouver Exchange. I As it ported by S. Harrison & Co.)
