Price, Five Cents PATTULLO vs. MANSON Crossed Swords on the Public Platform Last Evening���Other Candidates Spoke���Big Meeting. T. D. Pattullo's meeting in the Empress theatre last night was a great success. The place was packed, including many ladies, and all the candidates were given a good hearing. Mr. Pattullo made a clean and clear speech on his platform and he told the I people why he could not support Mr. - Manson as candidate for mayor. William Manson replied to Mr. Pattullo in a masterly manner. He accepted all the responsibilities of his office and I he invited criticism, but ,he contended I his critics were wrong, so far as his . conduct in relation to the Tsimpsean I Power charter and the City's charter I were concerned. He did all any 5 man could possibly do. Promises of other public meetings ���were made and the contest will be a ���warm one I Dr. Clayton and T. Y. McKay ?liave withdrawn from the field on ac- Jfcount of technicalities in the election j until the railway is completed. New industries cannot be expected until th at time, but we should have a first class city by then. The speaker asked for everyone's support.. As to his reasons for supporting Mr, Stork, he said he was elected on a delegation to Victoria to protest against the Tsimpsean Power Co. He went to Mr. Manson, and later, to the Premier, also to the executive council. Mr. Mr. Morrow was elected spokesman, and he did his duty. Durinjr the meet- Mr. John Dean, of the Company, arrived and asked to be heard. Mr. Mc Bride asked Dean many questions and deceived the delegation.. When Dean retired Mr. Manson said, "All you have to do is to buy out the Tsimpsean Power Co.," Mr. McBride said "The legislation of British Columbia has not money enough to buy out all the wild cat schemes in the country." Mr. Manson was squelched. He did not act as Mr. Pattullo thought he should have. Mr. Manson was also weak in his address on the floor of the house, during the second reading of the bill. The delegates were very much disgusted. Later, the speaker stated that Mr. Manson refused to bring the matter up again in the Conservative caucus, .act. T. D. Pattullo. Mr. Pattullo was given a warm reception when he appeared on the platform and extended an invitation to the mayoralty candidates and alder- . manic candidates to come to the platform and have chairs. The candidates complied with the request. Mr. Pattullo stated that he would R throw the meeting open, except that ���S he reserved the right to open and close the meeting. Mr. Thos. Dunn was elected chairman. ; Mr. Dunn expressed his pleasure at being elected as chairman. He asked ���'the audience to refrain from interrupt- 'ating the candidates. If anyone had anything to say they could say it from the iplatform. Mr. Halsey was selected ��tts secretary. I Mr. Pattullo in opening referred to <Bishop DuVernet re. nomination of 'School trustees. He said that he would >be glad to receive nominations for QjjBchool trustees. This idea was adopted. I Proceeding with his address, Mr. ftattullo stated that there were a couple Bf salient points which he wished to Hscuss, viz,���the liquor question, the Abour question and the question of gfcrmanent improvements. He took ljmp the liquor question first, and read 3b platform thereon. He believed ^Iniformity throughout the province pi this matter. He said that every Seaport town in the world was a liquor jttcensed town. He did not advocate W material matter in preference to our Boral welfare. We cannot legislate for flfor moral welfare���that is largely an educational matter. As to labour, he favoured an eight hour day and fair Wages on all civic work. He was not antagonistic to unions, and he believed they were a great good for the labouring man. He explained his position on ||the matter. His sympathies were Pwith organized labour, but if he jjAvas elected he would also represent ���Unorganized labour, and he could |not commit himself to unions. He {thought the fair wage clause fully |covered this matter. He thought he vas justified in asking for and expecting the support of organized labour. Mr. Pattullo read his platform deal- ling with permanent improvements. He [proposed to borrow as much money as the city could, and spend it on permanent improvements, thus create , large payrool and keep the people here report that Dr. Clayton was not able to qualify as a candidate. He denied that he laid a complaint before the registrar. He denied also several other rumors he had heard. He said he took no part in any personalities. He thought the contest was too big for anything of that kind. In taking up his platform, he said it only differed from Mr. Manson's in two particulars, viz,���the exemption of taxation on improvements and the liquor question.. In both of these the speaker supported his own platform and pointed out where it was superior. In conclusion, Mr. Stork said that he still stood on the same platform. He would, at a near date, have a meeting under his own auspices, when he would expund on the planks of his platform. He wished to tell the people that he was not particularly anxious to carry off the honors of first mayor of Prince Rupert, but if he was elected he would fight for the rights of the people. William Manson, M.P.P. William Manson was given a warm reception when he was called upon. He thanked Mr. Pattullo for inviting him to appear on the platform at his meeting. Before taking up the remarks Tsimpsean Power Co., got a charter through the house without a division of the house. It was advertised in the the papers and no one objected to it. He explained how bills were dealt wkh in in the House. At the time the charter was granted Mr. Manson was not a member of the House. As to the charter, he said that before the delegates arrived in Victoria, he had fought it out with the house and tHe cabinet. Every member in the House opposed him. He could not see any use In barking up against a stone wall. He could not see why he should be blamed. He liked men to be manly men and deal with things in a manly way. He was not afraid of any criticism. As to the charter he said the company cannot come in the city without the consent of the Commissioner of Crown Lands, or proper local authorities. The Government refused to grant the company permission to come in. They told the company to to go to Prince Rupert and make their bargain. The time for the Company to start expired on April 25th and they have not complied. Then the company's plans have to be submitted to the Lieutenant Governor in Council and the city would be heard. Mr. Manson said that some suggested he PURCHASE HENRIETTE. G.T.P. Take Over all of McKenzie's Fleet Except Rupert City. Vancouver, May 11,���Negotiations were completed yesterday between the officers of the G. T. P., and McKenzie Bros., for the transfer of the entire fleet and interests of McKenzie Bros., to the Grand Trunk Pacific, with the exception of the Rupert City. The transfer was officially made to-day. The deal involves the purchase by the Railway company of the steamer Henriette, the tug Escort No. 2., just equipped with a ten thousand dollar boiler, and the barge Georgian. These have already been working for the Grand Trunk for some months. It is reported that Capt. S. F. McKenzie has been offered the post of port captain in Vancouver for the company, but that he will not accept, preferring to devote his time tn the handling cf the Rupert City. Manson's Policy���As It Works In Vancouver The " land tax only " is one of the definite planks in Wm. Manson's policy. This article shows how it is affecting'other cities. It is taken from the Vancouver World editorial page. "Evidence of the fact that the abolition of the tax on property improvements is resulting in benefit to the community is accumulating ��Vv.ry Jay. The Everett Morning Tribune has the following ' The question of taxation is always a live subject among thinking people, and the' ' following incident illustrates how the method of taxation may either help or retard' ' the growth of a community. An Everett citizen who owns lots on Hewitt avenue ' ' had intended to improve his property by the erection of a brick dwelling ; but he ' ' has changed his mind, and gives the following reason for so doing: ' I own busi-' 'ness lots in Vancouver, B.C., and received the following response to an enquiry' 'which I made: 'Vancouver, B.C., April 20, 1910.���Dear sir:���Replying to your' ' favor of the 18th inst., we beg to say that your information is correct. There is ' ' no tax on building or personal property in this city. Yours truly, Allan Bros. ' ' 509 Pender street.' ' The above information decided the matter for me. The ' ' building I had planned for Hewitt avenue will be erected in Vancouver, where im-' ' provements are exempt from taxation. In that city I will be compelled to pay no ' ' more or less than the man who holds idle lots on either side of me. I would rather' ' have built in Everett, but didn't like the prospect of paying an annual fine on the ' ' cost of my investment. So I am adapting myself to our system, which makes it' ' more profitable to hold lana idle and escape taxation than to use it. Some one has ' ' said that our system of taxation enables landowners to ' sleep and thrive.' I pro-' 'pose to build in Vancouver and sleep in Everett.' Comment on this article is needless, although it must be remembered, of course, that there is a provincial tax on personal property." which was held later. He remarked that he was aware of a telegram being in town to the fact that the Tsimpsean Power Co's charter had been cancelled and we have nothing to fear.. That may, or may not, be true, but it is an old election dodge. Mr. Patullo thought, that if Mr. Manson had told the Premier that if this company was not bought out he would leave the floor of the House, a measure of relief would have been afforded. He regretted that Mr. Manson had not adopted a different course. In conclusion, he said Mr. Manson was a good soldier, when there was no fighting. He felt that Mr. Man- son would do just as the government told him to do. Again, he thought Mr. Manson was a good small game hunter��� but was not the man to tackle a grizzly. We will have many grizzlies to fight in this city. Fred Stork. Mr. Fred. Stork was the first mayoralty candidate to speak, and his supporters were quite delighted. In opening, Mr. Stork said that, for all he had to say it was hardly worth while to call upon him. He thanked Mr. Pattullo for his courtesy in asking him on to the platform. He then referred to the made by Mr. Pattullo, he wished to speak on his platform. He said Mr. Stork's was a lot of "as soon as possibles" "if practicables" etc. Mr. Manson said that in Nanaimo they never taxed improvements. Vancouver was getting away from the double tax, and Edmonton the same. If the single tax was good for those cities it would be good enough for Prince Rupert. A taxation of land values only was the only practicable system to work upon. He also proposes to encourage industries and to do this by proposing not to tax their buildings or improvements. Mr. Manson relied to Mr. Stork's arguments on the liquor question. It was only fair to submit this license question to a vote of the people. Mr. Manson also touched upon the improvement plank in his platform. Since last meeting he had had a deputation of labor men wait upon him, asking him to make hisself a little more clear as to what he meant by current rate of wages. He did so. As to Mr. Pattullo's criticism, he said he was glad to have Mr. Pattullo, or anyone else criticize him. He explained the nature of the diu'erence between Mr. Pattulo and himself. In 1907 the should have resigned. He said that if he had Jone so he would have been ashamed to come back to this city. He pointed out where this city was in good shape so far as the Tsimpsean Power Co., was concerned. He said the delegates wanted something and would not accept anything else. The speaker said he would just as soon take the brains of the government as the brians of the four men who went to Victoria. As to the water situation, he said that he had to persistently refuse the G. T. P., water records. He was beseiged, week after week, by representatives of the company. He refused. As a result the city has its own water works system. Had he granted those records, the G. T. P., or a subsidiary company would have owned the water works system in this city. Again, when the question of wages came up, the G. T. P., cut the wages from $45 to $35. Mr. Manson refused to pay them and fought it out with Mr. Chamberlain and the wages were put back to the old rate of $45, as the G. T. P. act required. As to Woodworth lake water, Mr. Manson said that SOO inches on the lake had been reserved for Prince Rupert. Truce May Not Last. London, May 11,���There are signs to-day of a collapse in the truce between the political parties, which was declared shortly after the king's death. It is feared that a crisis will come soon. ��� The Liberals accuse the Conservatives of taking advantage of the understanding to strengthen their party and fear that a delay in the fight against the Lords will weaken their chances to end the veto of the House of Lords. The cabinet held its first meeting to-day with King George, but the results are not known. The King has refused to issue an order for universal mourning because of financial stress it will bring to many people. Assize Court Resumed. Vancouver, May 10.���The assize cour resumed its sitting this morning, and have again taken up the hearing of the Julia Lewis case. Lewis is charged with the murder of Peter Scurry on December 3rd. last in Vancouver. The grand jury to-day returned true bills against William Davis, charged with false pretences, and Claude Heaton who is alleged to have assaulted a police officer in Prince Rupert. Mysterious Murder. Denver, Col., May 11,���A horrible and mysterbus murder occurred here, when Mrs. Katherine Wilson was strangled to death in her palatial home. The murderer carved the words "Delta" on her forehead. Tne body wis found in a packing case in the basement of her new home. The police are at a loss to account for the strange sign but seek a strange Japanese. FOR SCHOOL TRUSTEES.

Pattullo, who held a public meeting in the Empress theatre last night, the following nominations were received for election as school trustees John Curry, J. C.

P S R N R P G B P o c I I I I 1 THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST The Prince Rupert Optimist Daily Edition. Wednesday, May 11 "A WAYMAKER FROM NANAIMO." Up here in Prince Rupert���where we see big mountains, big fish, big money and big men ���we grow accustomed to things, events and personages that attract attention and admiration elsewhere. We have lots of egotism, but sometimes not sufficient conceit. For instance, the Canadian Courier, in one of its late editions, has a front-page editorial and photograph of our own William Manson, "who helped to build two Pacific towns." The Courier is the leading magazine weekly of Eastern Canada. It says: "A Waymakku From Nanaimo.���The first representative from Prince Rupert is Scotch enough to have been a Hudson's Bay Company factor. Mr. William Manson was born in the Shetland Islands, on whose bleak shores he stayed long enough to get an accountant's education though what on earth he could have expected to make out accounts for in the Shetlands nobody knows. At twenty years of age he got away and went just about as far as a steamboat could carry him ���to Vancouver Island; to Nanaimo, where for eighteen years he was a way- maker. And he began constructive pioneerism in real earnest���twelve years member of the Nanaimo School Board, three years an alderman and four years Mayor of Nanaimo the like of which never would have happened to him had he stayed in the islands where the ponies come from. " What more natural than to go into politics? In 1905 the man from Shetland was elected to fill the vacancy left by Mr. W. W. B. Mclnnes, resigned to become Governor of the Yukon. In two years he was Provincial Secretary and Minister of Education whereby he remembered some of his youthful doubts at the academy in Shetland. " However, he got a bump at the very next election 1907 ; defeated at the polls ; went straight up to Prince Rupert, leaving Nanaimo behind ; Government Agent for two years at the new port on the Pacific. Last November he resigned his iob to go once more into politics. Prince Rupert needed a representative in the Legislature; Mr. Manson was elected as the first Mr. Manson is still in the field, ready to grow up with Prince Rupert as once he grew up with Nanaimo. He will probably not travel far from Prince Rupert, which by the time he is done with politics will be a big commercial seaport." A Good Sale. V. Bannister has completed the transfer of his propeity in Bulkley Valley, hear the mouth of the Morice river, to eastern people. The piece consists of 420 acres and the price was $10,000. The property is the nearest point, on the railroad, to the Morice river coal, and it is reported the deal was for speculative purposes, in view of the development of these coal measures. Service for Stewart. While the Board of Trade and the Stewart Citizen's Committee are clamoring for a boat service between Prince Rupert and Stewart, the Prince Rupert Transportation company are arrangin.1; for a tri-weekly service. At the present time they have the Merry Widow, ;\ small gasoline sloop and the College Widow, a 60 foot twin screw union engine boat is now being built for them. This is expected here at any time and the service will then be inaugurated. The new boat will carry ten tons of lreighr besides a lot of passengers. She is expected to give a good service. Boosts for B. C. Toronto, May 8,���Immense boulders of rich ore, "as large as the King Edward Hotel" are reported to be plentiful in almost incredible numbers in Northern British Columbia by Mi. John Edgecombe, of Seattle, who is in Toronto on mining business for a few days. \* Mr. Edgecombe, in describing the great mining country, says that these boulders, without any exaggeration, will run two thousand ounces to tne ton of silver, seven,to twenty] per'cent copper, and from seven to two hundred and fifty dollars to the ton in gold. "Honest now," said Mr. Edgecombe in his hearty vernacular of the west, "1 could go up there with a shovel and dig up $5,000 worth of ore in a short time, and I wouldn't have to work overtime to do that, either." In describing what he broadly calls the Portland Canal country, Mr. Edgecombe says that Mr. D. D. Mann, vice-president of the Canadian Northern Railway, nas spent over $3,000,000 on the new railroad out there and that he will spend $5,000,000 before it will be completed. "The Guggenheims would be very pleased if Mr. Mann and I would take $25,000,000 for our holdings out there and go and die," said he. "They cannot get it though, for in my humble opinion, the property we bold is worth several times that amount. While every body else was busy getting assays, I went in and bought up the whole country for $1,000,000. Mr. Mann had secured a railway charter and was proposing to build out there, so I met him and made a deal with him. He will be manager. We have 5,000 acres out there besides five big mining properties, j and there will be loads of time to get the stuff out."

A high wind is fanning the flames and the entire crews of many lumber companies are fighting bravely. The fires have been raging for two days and the homes of the farmers in the Four Mile Creek valley, along the Northern Pacific Railway are theatened. The fires are burning on every side. At northern points the northern Minnesota fires are blazing up and threatening the settlers homes from Reservation river to !i0 miles beyond Grand Marais to a point 50 miles west of Duluth. Reports of serious fires are received from all points. The town of Taft near Grand Marais is nearly destroyed. Only 8 buildings are left. The fires are all along the right of way of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern to Duluth. Fires are raging between Merrill and Tomahaw. Wise, and Mill Foss Is in danger, The town of Corning is threatened and the timber in Lincoln, Oneida and Marathon counties is burning. The forest fires are increasing and the west end of the peninsular of Michigan i is destroyed. Much valuable timber I is now threatened in the village of | Ralston, which is surrounded. Two i homes are already burned anil the fire continues to gain headway in spite i of the best efforts of every resident. Duluth, May 11,���Wireless from Grand Marais, Minn, says the fires are bearing ! down upon the village and it is doomed. The fire was so close that the wireless operator had to abandon the town. Grand Marias is situated on the north shore of Lake Superior. Steps have been taken to send relief. As yet no lives have been lost. The wild animals are rushing to the lake shore. Wireless Station. The wireless station on Digby Island is completed and ready for use. This morning the contractors started stretching the cable across the chan- | nel, and when they reach this side j they will use the G. T. P., poles as far as the lower dock and from there to the government office will Wkaly use the telephone poles. About two and a ! half miles of wiring is necessary, but it is expected it will be ready for use in a day or two. The Prince Rupert station is the j finest on the Coast and when it is op- ! erated it will be a great boon to the city., and especially the shipping interests. | The station will be in communication with the Pacific Ocean, and it will also I ! communicate with the Queen Charlotte islands, Ketchikan, Alaska, Tri-angle island, near Vancouver and will catch messages from San Fransisco. The contractors have been at work on the station for several months and they have made a good job. The continent al code will be used at the station and the messages will be translated and sent to the government telegraph office here by use of the Morse code.

A bunch of Montenegrans worked a funny stunt on the customs officials last night. The City of Seattle brought up a gang of about 100 of those foreigners. When the customs official appeared on the scene, they demanded to see the necessary $25. There was not over $50 or $75 in the bunch, so a purse was made up between them and one or two got off. They in turn handed the money across to one or two more who got off. Then the officials got wise and drove the newcomers away from the boat. They walked down towards the stern, which was about 15 feet from the wharf. The fortunates on the wharf consulted the unfortunates on the boat, with the result that $25 was put in a tobacco pouch with a stone and tossed to those on board. The pouch hit a window and bounced back into the salty drink. The loosers were nearly frantic but that put a stop to all furths* attempts to avoid the officials. Thb moneyless new-comers had to remain on board. Purchasing A Watch In a recent advertisement the Waltham Watch Co. say: "If you wish to procure a good watch go to a reliable jeweler."

In conclusion, he thanked the audience for the careful hearing granted him. He had no strings attached to him. He thought it ill became a man of the years and experience of Mr. Thomas Dunn to introduce the name of Premier McBride in this campaign. There are no politics in this. The speaker said that he appealed to the people upon his past record. If that was not sufficient he did not ask for their votes. If he was elected he was prepared to assume the responsibilities and duties of the office and he would perform them to the best of his ability. The Aldermen, Mr. George Arnott was the first speaker, and he made a short speech and gave way to the others, some of whom had not had an opportunity to speak before.. Dr. Mclntyre acknowledged the courtesy of Mr. Pattullo and said he would not make a speech. He did not intend to ask anyone for a vote. If the people wanted him, he was willing to serve. Mr. McKay said that, owing to circumstances over which he had no control, he would have to withdraw from the contest, Vernon \V. Smith said he would not make a speech. He wished to say however, that since he heard Mr. Manson's speech and the replies to his critics, he was proud he was supporting Mr. Manson. If he was elected would use common sense in all matters. W. P. Lynch said he was still standing on Mr. Stork's platform. G, W. Morrow was called upon next and he was given the reception of the evening. He expressed his appreciation of Mr. Pattullo's invitation. He said, in reference to Mr. Pattullo's criticism that he thought he could make a better job of it and still support Mr. Manson. Mr. Morrow said that he was probably wrong in criticising Mr. Manson and that Mr. Manson was absolutely right. He was now a candidate for the council. He was not like some of the others. He did not come into the fight to get a licking and he did not intend to if he could help it. If he was elected, he would do everything in his power for : the city irrespective of who was mayor. M. M. Stephens was called and he made a happy speech. He said this election was going some. He would like to win and if he is elected he will do all hi can for the best interests of the city. He was on the Stork ticket and he would stay with it. He dealt with the liquor license system and said he supported the high license system. He also touched the plank of carrying out of public improvements. He thought these improvements should be gone on with at ; once. He emphasized the need of a good, efficient and well paid fire department, also health officer, hospital, city engineer, etc. He was out to win, but : he could not make a personal canvas. H. H. Clarke was next and made a short speech and asked for the support of all the electors. Barrow was the next speaker. He sakl he had been away for sometime, but he now took the opportunity of accepting 1 the offered nomination. He would do his best to win and if he did, he would do his best to serve the city. He supported Mr. Stork's platform and the labour platform, except that he did not agree with the uniform wage scale and the typographical union label on the city printing. Mr. Douglas said that, as the hour was late, lie would not detain the audience, except that, if elected, he ! would carry out the wishes of the people. Mr. Morrisey was also brief. He was strongly In favour of Mr. Manson's platform, which was intelligent and gave information. He spoke on the local improvement andlicense questions. 1 Dr. Clayton said that he did not come to make a speech, but to thank his mover and seconder. He had to withdraw from the fight, not because he was not here long enough, or because he had not the qualifications. 11 was because he was not the original purchaser of the property and his name was not on the \ register. He was glad to hear Mr. Stork's remarks to him, but he did not think any explanation was neceisary. He was a staunch supporter of William Manson and his platform. It told just what he would do, and when he would do it. Mr. Hildridge said he was on the la-! bor platform. He endorsed Mr. Stork's platform as far as it goes. He was ; strong for the six o'clock closing of all stores. He was also strong on having all improvements done by day labour. He said the Hospital board was going to call for new- tenders and there were six members of the board seeking election. They will now have a chance to show if they are sincere or not on the eight hour day Mr. Pattullo, in closing the meeting, said that Mr. Manson claimed he was not a hot head. Still, Mr. Manson was pretty well wound up to-night. He! commended Mr. Manson on many things he did, but he felt Mr. Manson 1 was not there when the critical time came. Mr. Pattullo replied to Mr.! Manson's explanation of his actions at! Victoria. In conclusion he thanked one of the old boys of the Yukon. He said he i would rather have had that reference than be an alderman of Prince Rupert.

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 lire insurance is. Life insurance is a duty and a privilege. To eliminate the distressing results of death, through insurance, payable to business partners, wife, or children, seems but 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.

The provincial government is to be I asked for a grant of $:10,000 for necess- ary improvements and the Stewart Citizens' association at its last meeting authorized the executive committee to write Premier McBride asking this sum. It was considered reasonable the! government should donate this sum on account of the revenue it will derive from the Government sale of lots there. It is estimated the revenue derived will equal a quarter of a million dollars. It is absolutely necessary that sewei j improvements and others be undertaken at once, and as there are no other ways I for the camp to raise money it was necessary to appeal to the government. The association also decided to organ ize a volunteer fire department and this is soon to be formed. Mining. ���v^w^SEE US FOR^ww.
