) Tufe Prince Rupert Optimist DAILY EDITION ^m\ ��� VOL. I, NO. 109 Prince Rupert, B.C., Tuesday, September 13. 1910. Price, Five Cents THE INTERVIEWER IS INTERVIEWED SHORT TALKS WITH TWO FAMOUS EDITORS SAM REINHARDT KILLED Had Fatal Quarrel With a Named Bert Stewart Manj Editor Willison and Editor Sir Mackenzie Bowell Show a Contrast of Mental Mannerisms In Expressing Admiration of Prince Rupert. Prince Rupert has been enjoying many distinguished visitors this fall, and although they have been mostly men of action and of large affairs their word will have great weight with the wealthy leisure class constantly wandering to the famed places of the earth seeking distraction in their attractions. From the high praise given to this city and its envirous by our visitors this fall, and the influence any words of their's cannot fail to exert, it is natural to confidently expect next year a very large tourist trade. Our two last distinguished visitors John S. Willison, editor of the Toronto News and Sir Mackenzie Bowell, ex- premier of Canada and again an editor, had unfortunately too short a stay here to thoroughly grasp the situation, for the reason that it was to them on starting merely an interesting point that is going to be the terminus of the great transcontinental railway. That they should find here already so large and prosperous a city led both of the gentlemen to express their pleased surprise. But both are men trained to the rapid assimilation oi tacts, and of these they gathered as much as ordinary men would in a month. The representative of the Optimist went to interview them on board the steamer Prince George last night, but found before the parting handshake that it was himself who had been interviewed So keen an interest -did they show and so adroitly did they use the information already gathered to draw out more, that the fact of their being strangers, here for the first time, became so shadowy that it was forgotten. Both are editors and as such trained_ to a fine point in perspicacity and directness of expression, yet few travelling companions form a greater contrast. There is as great a difference, probably, "i their mentality, or rather their mental operations���for both are deep thinkers and forceful writers���as appears in their outward and physical characteristics. Sir Mackenzie has arrived at the genial, reminiscent age when the steps of today are reckoned by the tape measure of yeiterdaya long gone by; Mr. Willison, "'though also grey, has the bearing of an athtletlc in his prime, quick and In- Wve in glance and speech yet sparing of the spoken word. Both referred to the recent visit of ne premier, the latter, who wrote the arnous biography of Sir Wilfrid and the Liberal party putting the direct question now did our shief impress your people" ""u the former casually remarking- well, what did you think of Laurier?"

WHITE ROCK IS DESTROYED WHOLE TOWN WIPED OUT BY BUSH FIRES No Lives Lost But Several Head of Stock Perished in Flames.���Pro- p rty Loss Estimated at Thirty Thousand Dollars. (Special to the Optimist) New Westminster, Sept. 13.���The summer town of White Rock was almost entirely destroyed by bush fires late last night. Relief trains were sent out from Ferndale but were stalled by a bridge that had been burned out. No lives were lost in the fire so far as known, but several head of stock were burned to death. The line of the Great Northern to Vancouver is blocked as a result of the fires. The property loss in White Rock is estimated to amount to $30,000.

Hilditch raised an objecrion at the city council meeting last night that the minutes of the impromptu meeting held on Saturday afternoon, should not be entered regularly in the minute book but that the proceedings should be merely noted as having taken place. "I do not consider that that meeting was a meeting of the city council' he said. The minutes having already been entered in the book by fhe city clerk from notes supplied.him by Aid. Naden. Aid. Hilditch moved that they be struck out. Aid. Pattullo suggested thut the record of proceedings at that meeting be en- ered merely as those of a conferencen between members of the city council who happened to be present, and the representatives o theB.C.Tie and Timber Co., the city, however, to be still considered bound to the result of the transactions of the conference as recorded. The mayor went on to describe his efforts to assemble the city council at short notice. He had tried to find Aid. Hilditch but had not succeeded. Aid. Pattullo said that he had seen Al. Hilditch in the distance at the time and had run after him but had not managed to round him up. There was, however, a quorum at the conference. It was finally decided to make the entry in the minute book "Void" in red, and note the proceedings as those o an impromptu conference. The committee appointed by the Board of Trade to confer with the city council regarding what is alleged to be too high an assessment of the railway property, reported to a general meeting of the board last night a plan by whiah the assessment of such property is cut down from $7,291,600, the sum fixed by the government assessor, to $1,726,500. All the members of the committee were called upon to speak upon the subject, and by means of maps and blue prints collected by the committee each reduction and the grounds upon which it was suggested were explained in detail. President Morris Baid the special business before the meeting was to receive the report, of the committee appointed at the meeting of the council of the board to confer with the city in regard to the assessment of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway property. The committee had gone into the matter thoroughly and was ready to make a proposal to the city. He would call upon Mr. Thomas Dunn to explain this proposition and for Mr. Palmer to assist him with the maps. Also he would ask Mr. J. S. Pillsbury, who had been one of the first engineers employed on the townsite, to assist. The business men's meeting in the city hall, said Mr. Dunn, showed the sentiment of the people that the assessment of $7,300,000 was simply ridiculous. Mr. Hays had suggested a committee of three, with the mayor as ex-officio, to discuss the matter with an official of the railway. But the council in its wisdom did not see fit to do that. They wrote to Mr. Hays simply stating that they could not reduce the assessment. Now that might be good business but he did not think so. He thought that when Mr. Hays suggested a committee the council should have appointed one. There were a great many things railway corporations wanted, and they often asked for much more than they expected to get. If they did not come together there was no chance of arriving at an understanding. Now this committee of five has gone carefully and thoroughly into facts and wp would give you the results. Mr. Dunn first read the following schedule of the reductions in the railway taxation suggested by the committee at the same time pointing to each assessment on the map and explaining in full why that particular reduction was proposed. Mr. Palmer followed with a brief and lucid explanation, supplementing that of Mr. Dunn. J. G. Scott and M. M. Stephens contented themselves with a hearty concurrence in the report, as did William Law. Upon the call of the chair Mr. Pillsbury also went over a portion of the blue prints, and in this way every point involved in the discussion was carefully explained and made clear. Mr. Dunn again took up points of detail and added to them. In regard to the plot of land Section 2, Block "E," he said this was a narrow strip only 225 feet wide right along the mountain and no good to anybody. Yet this had been assessed at half a million dollars. "Better send for the assessor," sb- served .Secretary Stephens. "He certainly had some queer ideas," remarked President Morris. Mr. Christiansen thought the com- JOINT COMMISSION United States and Canada to Confer On International Commerce (Special to the Optimist) Washington, Sept. 13.���Chairman Knapp, of the Interstate Commerce Commission, and Chairman Mabee of the Canadian Railway Commission, will nold a conference here before congress meets, with the view of assisting to formulate legislation dealing with the inter transportation rates of the two countries. CITIZENS WANT PLANKWAYS BUT CITY ENGINEER MODIFIES THEIR PETITIONS In General Better to Wait For Street Grad ng Thinks Engineer But Considers Some of the Plankways Necessary. GEORGE REID IS ARRESTED ALLEGED WIFE MURDERER IS CAUGHT NEAR FERNDALE Admits His identity But Refuses to Speak of Murder Charge.���Provincial Police Claim That Wrong Man is Arrested. (Special to the Optimist) Bellingham, Sept. 13.���George Reid, who is wanted for the murder of his wife at Clayburn, was captured near Ferndale last night. He was arrested by A. L. Soper and Fred Clarke. He admitted his identity but refused to discuss the murder charge in any way. He is now in jail at Whatcom and the proceedings necessary for his extradition to Canada have already been begun. Vancouver, Sept. 13.���The provincial police deny that the man arrested at Ferndale is the George Reid who is wanted on a murder charge. They declare it to be a case of mistaken identity. Oversea Troops For Cornation London, Sept. 13.���(Special)���Arrangements are being made to have extra large contingents of troops from oversea dominions attend the coronation next year. mittee had gone into the matter very thoroughly and he was in favor of the board making a recommendation to the council in accordance with their report. Mr. Dunn said the city council wanted a "concrete" (laughter) proposition and in this report they would have one. Some of the estimates might be too high, others too low, but the council might lay it before the Grand Trunk people and see what they had to say ahout it. "But the city council think it would be undignified for them to make any suggestion to the Grand Trunk. We will put this clearly before them and if they refuse to act we will cal) i public meeting lo take the mutter up. If this council refuses to open up negotiations with the railway and the citizens say such negotiations should be opened up, then we will take hold of the whole matter and ask those members of the city council to resign. "The railway asks a good deal but the city also wants a good deal from them. The Grand Trunk will give us a site for city hall, park sites and so on, and we want those. We also want the railway work to go forward. The dry dock will take two years to build and look what the city would get out of that. I know the machinery is all here for the machine shops, and that Mr. Mehan has had orders to store it away. The shops would employ four hundred men or more, and how much better to have those men living right in the city than to have the shops six miles out of town." The president summed up the advantages to the city of taking early action in the matter and on the motion of C. D. Newton, seconded by O. Besner, a resolution was passed unanimously adopting the report and that the committee present it to the council. Several petitions for local improvements came before the city council last night in the form of the city engineer's repor on them. There was one for a plank roadway on Four h avenue between McBride street and Hays Cove Circle. The city engineer suggested in regard to this that th petition should be amended o cover either rough grading of the street, or plank oadway from McBride to Young street only as it was not possible to ob ain a passable grade there without considerable grading. The plank road petitioned for on Seventh street, between First and .Second avenues the city engineer considered I should wait until the street grading there I is finished, and recommendtd that the i completion of this grading should be j provided for in the next contract let for I Section one. '--���..-.. ! On account of the roughness of the I ground the city engineer thought that j the cost of constructing a plank road- ! way as petitioned for on Park avenue ! and Eleventh s reet, would be very high. ' The umber of houses was also small. But the grading of this street had been provided for in Section one arrangements and would be gone on with shortly. It would be cheaper to construct the plank roadway af er grading had been done. I The city engineer suggested in reference j to the petition for a plank road between i Eleventh avenue and Hays Cove avenue | along Alfred street that this should be | changed to a request for a plank walk I from Ninth avenue to Hays Cove avenue i and stated in connection with the petition for a plank roadway on Summit avenue that the ground was so rough here that it would be practically impossible to ' undertake this work without first grading I the street. The council adopted these reports i arranging that the modified one in regard to Ninth avenue and Hays Cove avenue should be referred back to the 1 Streets committee in order that the petitioners might further confer with the* committee. j "We should be very careful how we turn down these petitions for plank roadways in outlying districts" said Aid. Hilditch. "We must give people means of getting lumber out to build ��� their houses otherwise the district will i not be speedily built up". Aid. Pattullo was of the same opinion. INVITED BY WIRE Members of Canadian Manufacturers Assoc ation Asked to Visit Here At the general meeting of the Board of Trade last night a etter was read from Mr. Coyney suggesting that as two hundred and fifty members of the Manufactures' Association of Canada would shortly arrive at Vancouver, it might be a good idea to invite them to visit Prince Rupert. The meeting unanimously decided that it was and Secretary Stephens was directed to telegraph such an invitation to the association forthwith.

SEVEN BOATS A WEEK STOP AT SEALEY AT SEALEY -SUPPLY BASE OF THE BULKLEY VALLEY All through the country of the Upper Skeena and through the Bulkley valley as well as here in Prince Rupert great attention is being given to the town of Sealey. Located as is on both the river and the railroad it is in a position to go forward rapidly. With the pay station and general warehouses of Foley Welch & Stewart on the townsite and with every boat on the river calling there the fact that Sealey is fast becoming the big supply base of the Bulkley Valley is not to be wondered at. When the road eventually reaches Sealey it will find a prosperous, thriving town of no mean importance destined to be the big business centre of Skeena River and Bulkley Valley district. CITY INDUSTRY EXPANDS New Owners and New Warehouse for Albion Bottling Works H. S. WALLACE Co. Limited PHONE No. 9 Fulton Street - and ��� Third Ave. T. L. Goodnough and George Leek of this city, together with some Vancouver parties, have purchased the interest of T. Z. Krizner, of the Albion Bottling Works, and will take possession at the end of this month. This concern has outgrown entirely its present quarters and it is the intention of its new owners to greatly improve the present plant. They will probably occupy the whole of the ground floor at present location and also construct a new warehouse in the rear. Mr. Krizner will probably lease the upper floors of his building, and will move to the Alice Arm and Goose Bay district, where he will devote his entire time to his mining interests, which have turned out good. SEALEY TOWNSITE agents: ALDOUS & ROBERTSON, Sealey P. O. Address - HAZELTON KAIEN ISLAND CLUB OPENING CONTINUED PROM PAGE 1 eventually be done depends upon the financies. Treasurer Nickerson had this in mind while he and his confreers were showing the new house. He called the members to a meeting and had the satisfaction of informing them that the club had its informal opening entirely free of debt. This led several leading members to often solemnly remark���"Maxey, open another." So the business meeting became somewhat of a revival, and a number of those present sought the repentance bench and paid up. This was the date up to which members might join on payment of $25, but in the course of the discussion it was pointed out that several intending to join were not present and in the spirit of good fellowship that prevailed the time limit was extended to the 17th. After it will be $35 for a limited period, and after that the "ground floor" of member- aahip will be closed. On the 23rd of this month the club is to be formally opened with a grand ball, and there is to be a dance every month during the winter months, by invitation of course. What strikes one in the new club particularly is the number of potted plants, many in flower, that have been presented. Martin O'Reilly has presented a couple of handsome pictures, and there will undoubtedly be many such notable donations before the formal opening on the 23rd. LABOR APLENTY COMING Contractors Now Feeling More Relieved About the Labor Famine Nearly one hundred workers for the railway construction were landed from the Prince George last night, and the greater part of them were dispatched up the line on the regular construction train this morning. Mr. Vernor Smith, manager for the contractors, said he thought there would be no more difficulty in securing enough men, as there would be two hundred coming in by the Prince Rupert on Wednesday and as many as could be sent on each succeeding Grand Trunk steamer. ARE THERE FIFTY PEOPLE IN PRINCE RUPERT Who appreciate strictly fresh ranch eggs. If so we are talking to them. We can safely say, without fear of contradiction, that the Exchange Grill, is the only house in Prince Rupert, IN ANY LINE, that receives regular shipments of fresh eggs direct from the ranch. Our weekly consignments amount to three cases, containing 1,080 eggs, which we guarantee to be absolutely fresh. This number is sufficient to provide breakfast for fifty people daily. We will serve them in the shell, and will pay a five dollar gold piece to the patron who discovers one egg which is not strictly right. We have the equipment and staff to give you speedy and courteous service. Exchange Grill 107-113. Second avenue.

As the matter is one of great interest at the present time, it is believed there will be a large meeting of members of the board. PORTLAND CANAL STOCKS, Latest Quotations From Vancou-1 ver Exchange.

We will put this clearly before them and if they refuse to act we will call a public meeting to take the matter up. If this council refuses to open up negotiations with the railway and the citizens say such negotiations should be opened up, then we will take hold of the whole matter and ask those members of the city council to resign. "The railway asks a good deal but the city also wants a good deal from them. The Grand Trunk will give us a site for city hall, park sites and so on, and we want those. We also want the railway work to go forward. The dry dock will take two years to build and look what the city would get out of that. I know the machinery is all here for the machine shops, and that Mr. Mehan has had orders to store it away. The shops would employ four hundred men or more, and how much better to have those men living right in the city than to have the shops six miles out of town." The president summed up the advantages to the city of taking early action in the matter and on the motion of C. D. Newton, seconded by O. Besner, a resolution was passed unanimously adopting the report and that the committee present it to the council. Several petitions for local improvements came before the city council last night in the form of the city engineer's repor on them. There was one for a plank roadway on Four h avenue between McBride street and Hays Cove Circle. The city engineer suggested in regard to this that th petition should be amended o cover either rough grading of the street, or plank oadway from McBride to Young street only as it was not possible to ob ain a passable grade there without considerable grading. The plank road petitioned for on Seventh street, between First and Second avenues the city engineer considered i should wait until the street grading there i is finished, and recommended that the j completion of this grading should be i provided for in the next contract let for I Set tion one. '^-���-._. I On account of the roughness of the I ground the city engineer thought that | the cost of constructing a plank road- ! way as petitioned for on Park avenue \ and Eleventh s reet, would be very high. ��� The umber of houses was also small. I But the grading of this street had been provided for in Section, one arrangements and would be gone on with i shortly. It would be cheaper to construct the plank roadway af er grading had i been done. I The city engineer suggested in reference j to the petition for a plank road between I Eleventh avenue and Hays Cove avenue | along Alfred street that this should be , changed to a request for a plank walk I from Ninth avenue to Hays Cove avenue i and stated in connection with the petition for a plank roadway on Summit avenue that the ground was so rough here that it would be practically impossible to ; undertake this work without first grading j the street. The council adopted these reports i arranging that the modified one in regard to Ninth avenue and Hays Cove avenue should be referred back to the Streets committee in order that the petitioners might further confer with the committee. j "We should be very careful how we , turn down these petitions for plank roadways in outlying districts" said Aid. Hilditch. "We must give people means of getting lumber out to build their houses otherwise the district will not be speedily built up". Aid. Pattullo was of the same opinion. INVITED BY WIRE Members of Canadian Manufacturers Assoc ation Asked to Visit Here At the general meeting of the Board of Trade last night a etter was read from Mr. Coyney suggesting that as two hundred and fifty members of the Manufactures' Association of Canada would shortly arrive at Vancouver, it might be a good idea to invite them to visit Prince Rupert. The meeting unanimously decided that it was and Secretary Stephens was directed to telegraph such an invitation to the association forthwith.

AUSTRALIA TO JOIN CANADA CITIZEN OF ARMY FOR DEFENCE COMMONWEALTH Trained Force of Hundred and Twenty-five Thousand Men in Five Years at Estimated Cost of Ten Millions Yearly. Melbourne, Sept. 8.���The commonwealth government expects to join the government of Canada in securing an improved mail service but the postal business of Australia does not warrant the granting of a subsidy for the purpose. It is hoped, however, that new avenues of trade in frozen produce will justify the expense incurred by the federal ministry, stipulating for faster steamers with enlarged refrigerating accommodation. It is anticipated that a contract will be completed in a few days. The compulsory service under the new federal defence bill is based on the report furnished by Lord Kitchner. The bill which has been introduced in the senate ra?quires the service of cadets between the ages of 14 and 18, with subsequent service for six years in the citizen forces. Eight days every year must be spent in camp and eight days in homo training. The system is estimated to produce a trained army of 125,000 men in five years. The six capital towns of the commonwealth are to be fortified and other naval bases will be created along the cost line. The cost at the outset is estimated at $10,000,000 a year. This expenditure and the cast of the new federal navy will necessitate the whole of the revenue from the federal land tax being employed solely for defence purposes. The minister of customs is considering the question of establishing an Australian trade commissionership in Canada to point out the opportunities for placing produce and fruit within the Dominion. HAZELTON REAL ESTATE Thirty-Two Thousand Paid for Plot Next Taylor Section A real estate deal of considerable importance was transacted in Hazelton last week, being the transfer of the section of land joining the "Taylor Section" on the west. This land was owned by J. C. K. Sealey and Walter Burns and the price received was $32,000 This is the largest real estate deal ever transacted in this vicinity and will probably have some effect on the real estate market in Hazeltqn. The value of this piece of land is apparent it joining what is supposed to become the G. T. P. townsite for this section of the country. No name of the purchaser has been made public as yet.

SQUABBLE OVER RANCH Charles Bartlett Now Sole Owner of Diamond D. Ranch News was received Friday says the Omineca Herald, of a settlement of the differences between the owners of the Diamond D ranch, C. Barrett and E. Charleson, whereby Charles Barrett becomes the sole owner of all the holding of the firm of C. Barrett and Co., which consist of a 3000-acre ranch in the pinch because of this unnecessary ex* travagrance. May I earnestly appeal to all those who are about to welcome to our town licensed bars to use their influence from the very start to put down a custom which more than anything else has brought discredit upon the license system. There is a rising tide of sentiment which will not stand for the wanton debauching of the young manhood of our country. The appeal to personal liberty so often heard against prohibition may be turned with increased force against the slavery of this debasing custom. Let the old sots, if they will, line up before our new bars, waiting for some mis-called friend to give them another push down the grade, but let our young men, in whose hands lies largely the future of our great country determine to break away from the thraldom of this bondage and set a new example. More effective than any anti-treating by-law would be a strong popular sentiment among our young men that it is bad form to treat another at a public bar. " F. H. DU VERNET Bishop of Caledonia.

Negotiations between the owners were carried on in Hazelton for a week last June, but nothing resulted but a deadlock and it was feared there would be a long legal battle between them and the people of this district will be glad to hear of an amicable settlement of their differences as they are both well liked and have many friends. Charles Barrett has been in British Columbia for many years and in the northern interior for the past ten years. He is a rancher of long experience and the present fine condition of the Diamond D ranch is largely due to his ability.

Sweet, Manager Winnipeg, Sept. 7.���The English investors who have come to Canada this year and invested so heavily in Western Canada lands are no longer seeking for speculation, but for investment. They are not buying for the purpose of holding for speculative increase in values, but with a definite plan for colonizing the lands acquired. This is the new note in Canadian land investments by .British capitalists." This was the opinion expressed by C. Keith Morris, investment editor of the Canadian Gazette of London, and carried added weight from the fact that Mr. Morris, during a sojourn of over two months in British Columbia and other parts of Western Canada, has been in close touch with a number of prominent Englishmen who have invested heavily in lands within the past few weeks. "Those who have come to Canada this year are but the forerunners of a certainly increasing number who will come later on," continued Mr. Morris, "Canada offers a field for investment that no other country in the world offers at the present time and the movement is hardly yet under way. The British investor is at last beginning to realize the opportunities that Canada has for the man who investigates for himself and who plans wisely. The better class of English farmers will be aided and looked after in moving to the new land. In some cases 'ready-made' farms will be provided for them, and in other cases the plan is to put them on the land on half crop payments or some similar arrangements. There will be little more of the pitchforking of men into Canada and leaving them to sink or swim, looking only to them for yearly payments on land which they take up. In future they will be looked after, assisted until they learn the ways of the new life, and given every chance and aid to make a success." TRY THE OPTIMIST WANT AD.

HAZELTON REAL ESTATE Thirty-Two Thousand Paid for Plot Next Taylor Section AUSTRALIA TO JOIN CANADA CITIZEN ARMY FOR DEFENCE OF COMMONWEALTH Trained Force of Hundred and Twenty-five Thousand Men in Five Years at Estimated Cost of Ten Millions Yearly. Melbourne, Sept. 8.���The commonwealth government expects to join the government of Canada in securing an improved mail service but the postal business of Australia does not warrant the granting of a subsidy for the purpose. It is hoped, however, that new avenues of trade in frozen produce will justify the expense incurred by the federal ministry, stipulating for faster steamers with enlarged refrigerating accommodation. It is anticipated that a contract will be completed in a few days. The compulsory service under the new federal defence bill is based on the report furnished by Lord Kitchner. The bill which has been introduced in the senate r<?quires the service of cadets between the ages of 14 and 18, with subsequent service for six years in the citizen forces. Eight days every year must be spent in camp and eight days in home training. The system is estimated to produce a trained army of 125,000 men in five years. The six capital towns of the commonwealth arc to be fortified and other nava! bases will be created along the cost line. The cost at the outset is estimated at $10,000,000 a year. This expenditure and the cast of the new federal navy will necessitate the whole of the revenue from the federal land tax being employed solely for defence purposes. The minister of customs is considering the question of establishing an Australian trade commissionership in Canada to point out the opportunities for placing produce and fruit within the Dominion. A real estate deal of considerable importance was transacted in Hazelton last week, being the transfer of the section of land joining the "Taylor Section" on the west. This land was owned by J. C. K. Sealey and Walter Burns and the price received was $32,000. This is the largest real estate deal ever transacted in this vicinity and will probably have some effect on the real estate market in Hazelton. The value of this piece of land is apparent it joining what is supposed to become the G. T. P. townsite for this section of the country. No name of the purchaser has been made public as yet. Activity at Sealey The saw mill at Sealey owned by Flanigan & Hart has started cutting with a capacity of 40,000 feet per day. The first lumber cut will be used for Sealey's new hotel. a row of men lining up before a licensed bar and allowing another man, often almos a stranger, to spend two or three days' wages upon them for a momentary gratification with perhaps the knowledge that his wife and children will have to pinch because of this unnecessary ex- travagrance. May I earnestly appeal to all those who are about to welcome to our town licensed bars to use their influence from the very start to put down a custom which more than anything else has brought discredit upon the license system. There is a rising tide of sentiment which will not stand for the wanton debauching of the young manhood of our country. The appeal to personal liberty so often heard against prohibition may be turned with increased force against the slavery of this debasing custom. Let the old sots, if they will, line up before our new bars, waiting for some mis-called friend to give them another push down the grad��, but let our young men, in whose hands lies largely the future of our great country determine to break away from the thraldom of this bondage and set a new example. More effective than any anti-treating by-law would be a strong popular sentiment among our young men that it is bad form to treat another at a public bar. F. H. DU VERNET Bishop of Caledonia.

SQUABBLE OVER RANCH Charles Bartlett Now Sole Owner of Diamond D. Ranch Hazelton Rifle Club Thanks to the energy and efficiency .-l-own by H. W. Sharp, secretary of the I azelton Rifle Association, says the Omineca Herald, all the work of clearing the range and setting up the targets has been completed. The telephones have not as yet arrived, nor have the rifles which are in Rupert and expected on the next boat. A larger membership would be a good thing, and anyone contemplating joining can make up- lication to II. W. Sharp, secretary, or J. Mailland-Dougall. Captain Balcom Tells of Success of Rose Harbor Station News was received Friday says the Omineca Herald, of a settlement of the differences between the owners of the Diamond D ranch, C. Barrett and E. Charleson, whereby Charles Barrett becomes the sole owner of all the holding of the firm of C. Barrett and Co., which consist of a 3000-acre ranch in the Bulkley valley, of which 1000 acres is under cultivation, and a large amount of live stock, a ranch in the Chilcoten country, where the live stock is wintered and a number of small pieces of land between the Diamond D. and Hazelton. Negotiations between the owners were carried on in' Hazelton for a week last June, but nothing resulted but a deadlock and it was feared there would be a long legal battle between them and the people of this district will be glad to hear of an amicable settlement of their differences as they are both well liked and have many friends. Charles Barrett has been in British Columbia for many years and in the northern interior for the past ten years. He is a rancher of long experience and the present fine condition of the Diamond D ranch is largely due to his ability. The original ranch consisted of 320 acres, being the second preemption to be taken in the Bulkley valley and was located in 1901. Year by year more land has been acquired until there are now 3,120 acres, obtained with South African war script and by purchase from the Provincial government. Captain R. Balcom of Victoria, is a guest at the Prince Rupert Inn. He is connected with the new whaling station at Rose Harbor, Moresby island. The station has only been operated for six weeks yet during that time no less than eighty large whales have been taken. Hundred and fifty men are engaged at the station, making oil and fertilizer from the fish, one of the C. P. R. boats and. the Amur being engaged to carry the product to Vancouver.

WAY OF FINDING A BUYER NOW BUY FOR INVESTMENT ENGLISH CAPITALISTS NOW FOLLOW NEW PLAN Not Purchasing For Purpose of Hold- j ing For Speculative Increase In I Values But With Definite Plans For Colonization. Winnipeg, Sept. 7.���The English in- vestors who have come to Canada this year and invested so heavily in West- | em Canada lands are no longer seek-' ing (or speculation, but for investment. They are not buying for the purpose of holding for speculative increase in values, but with a definite plan for colonizing the lands acquired. This is the new note in Canadian land investments by .British capitalists." This was the opinion expressed by C. Keith Morris, investment editor of the Canadian Gazette of London, and carried added weight from the fact that Mr. Morris, during a sojourn of over two months in British Columbia and other parts of Western Canada, has been in close touch with a number of prominent Englishmen who have invested heavily in lands within the past few weeks. "Those who have come to Canada this year are but the forerunners of a certainly increasing number who will come later on," continued Mr. Morris, "Canada offers a field for investment that no other country in the world offers at the present time and the movement is hardly yet under way. The British investor is at last beginning to realize the opportunities that Canada has for the man who investigates for himself and who plans wisely. The better class of English farmers will be aided and looked after in moving to the new land. In some cases 'ready-made' farms will be provided for them, and in other cases the plan is to put them on the land on half crop payments or some similar arrangements. There will be little more of the pitchforking of men into Canada and leaving them to sink or swim, looking only to them for yearly payments on land which they take up. In future they will be looked after, assisted until they learn the ways of the new life, and given every chance and aid to make a success."

Tuesday, Sept. 13 OUR GREATEST ASSET The latest news from the Hague does no' enlighten us concerning the question most important to the Pacific Coast. It would seem that the Newfoundland questions have been settled and a compromise decision arrived at but so far the Hecate straits question has not be given publicity. It is to be hoped that Hon. A. B. Aylesworth, the talented minister of justi ce who represented our case has been able to preserve this national birthright. The New England Fish Company, one of the largest fishing concerns in the world has for years been fishing on the halibut banks of Hecate straits and enjoying the privilege of shipping their fish from British Columbia ports through Canada in bond. While it has always been contended that these waters are Canadian waters the Dominion government have never attempted to enforce the fishing regulations It has been generally understood that the question would be argued and decided at the present sitting of the Hague tribunal. Prince Rupert has been rightly termed the Gloucester of the Pacific for within a few miles of our docks are the greatest halibut banks in the world, but Canadians are up against a gigantic fish monopoly in the New England Fish Company; one that even on an equitable basis of competition, would put the small fellow out of business, but if this company can fish in the same waters, by the same methods, use the same railway transportation and sell their fish in the same markets free of duty, while Canadians are compelled to pay lc per pound duty, any school boy can see the handicap. It is to be hoped that this question was brought before the Hague court of arbitration and decided. If as a result American fishermen have the same rights as Canadians on these fishing grounds the only salvation for us is the early completion of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and the cancellation of the new England Fish Companies' permit, which will force their steamers to travel 1200 miles to and from the fishing grounds while Canadian fishermen can land and ship over the G. T. P. Railway at Prince Rupert three and one half hours after the fish are caught, giving us the advantage of being able to ship to the American markets immediately, also the saving of time and deterioration which the New England and other American fishermen will be up against, by being compelled to steam to Seattle, which would offset to a very larger extent the duty Canadians are compelled to pay. Such a policy on the completion of the G. T. P. Railway will force American fishing vessels to come under the Canadian flag with Prince Rupert as their home port in place of Seattle, and with Canadians, assist in making Prince Rupert one of the world's greatest fishing ports. PARLIAMENTARY REPRESENTATION FOR LABOR A brief dispatch published in the Optimist yesterday told of the Osborne case being brought up at the trade and labor congress now being held in Sheffield, and there is no doubt there will be much angry discussion in regard to it, as it really puts an end, or will be an influencial hindrance, toiabor organizations having representatives in the British house of commons. Members, of the British house receive no pay from the government, and it has been the practice in the United Kingdom, for the Labor Unions to assess the members a small sum to provide a fund to pay the election expenses of Labor candidates and a salary for such members-elect as required as most of the Labor members do. A man named Osborne refused to pay, and the case being taken into court, it was held on appeal that he had the right to refuse and that by his refusal he lost none of his rights as a member of the union: The effect of the decision is that the Unions must depend upon voluntary subscriptions, and an appeal for these proved so flat a failure that the whole political fabric of trades unionism has been thrown into confusion.

ARNEIL Kelly-Carruthers Store CENTRE ST. Tells His Broad Minded Scheme to Winnipegers, And Declare! He Will Work For It When He Return! To Parliamentary Duties. (Special to the Optimist) Winnipeg, Sept. 13.���"I want to see British seamen on the British Columbia coast," said Sir George Doughty, who is here today on his way back from Prince Rupert to Grimsby, England. He went on to say that steps must be taken to direct British fishermen to the Pacific coast, or the Americans and Orientals would control the whole fisheries industry. He declares that as soon at he reaches home he will use every effors to bring out men and colonize them on the coast. He goes on to say that such a course would produce a nucleus for a naval reserve, soon to become a necessity on the coast in connection with Canada's navy, as Great Britain might not always be at peace with Japan. It was from the British fishermen that her naval reserve was recruited, and they were naturally the best recruits to be had. The grading and close cutting required for Second St. wil1 be done by the ci y engineer also the construction of the plank roadway for that street. The Streets, Works and Property Committee at last night's city council meeting reported the city engineer the successful tenderer for this work. The grading and closa cutting for Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Fraser Streets will be done by Alex. McLean whose tender was also recommended for acceptance. The construction of the plank roadway for these streets is to be carried out by John Vierich. It was pointed out by Aid. Hilditch that the highest tenderer had secured the contract on the Fraser street ground because the other tenders were not made out correctly. The streets committee had decided that in future unless a tender were accurately made out it would not be accepted at all. Aid. Barrow showed that the form in which tenders were requested to be sent in was not one to which contractors in these parts were accustomed and suggesied that the form might be altered to meet them in this. The committees' report was adopted. of Church and State Have Endorsed LIFE INSURANCE Rev.

All a man can do under existing circumstances to safeguard his family is to get his life insured." Hon. Theodore Roosevelt: .

Prince Rupert and Stewart Question of Disposal of Reward Likely To Be Settled By Courts, Scotland Yard Man Contesting Claim of Captain Kendall. (Special to the Optimist) London, Sept. 12���The Crippen inquest was resumed this morning and the undertaker and morgue keeper each spent an uneasy half hour on the witness stand, under the cross-examination of Mr. Newton, the barrister who is conducting the defence of Dr. Crippen. Mr. Newton tried to get an admission from them that when the body of Belle Elmore was removed they used carbolic acid to counteract the odours from the body. When asked the object of the searching enquiry into this point Mr. Newton said that if carbolic acid had been so used the analysis made by the government chemist showing the presence of hyoscine was worthless. Both witnesses declared that there was no ground for the report that carbolic had been used in any form. Mr. Newton also sought to show by these witnesses that the way the body was shovelled into the box would account for the bruises upon it. Miss May, secretary of the Music Hall Guild, of which Belle Elmore was a leading member, testified to a dream she had that Dr. Crippen had strangled his wife. The dream was of the most vivid character, she said, and the sudden disappearance of Belle Elmore about that time recalled it to her memory. She also told of Elmore's life with Crippen at the time at which Miss Le Neve entered the doctor's service, drawing the conclusion that the married life of the deceased at that time was not a happy one Neither of the prisoners were present at the inquest. The courts will probably be called upon to decide about the disposal of the reward offered for the capture of Dr. Crippen. Detective-Sergeant Barclay, of Scotland Yard, claims that he put the authorities on the right track, and he wi 1 contest the claim put in by Captain Kendall, of the Montrose.who reported by wireless that the refugees were on his vessel.

Then came the discovery that the ap plicants has not yet obtained their leases, but simply receipts for their money and that there was a conflict as to whether the idea was conveyed at the sale that waterfront grants were conveyed. The chief commissioner said this was a serious question. The applicants had an equitable title, but when the government came to give the titles, they might make terms. Or they might refuse to issue a license and give, a fiat and aay they would do as the courts directed. It was left in the position that the applicants must produce their titles before the board will move in the matter. TELEPHONE TRANSACTIONS Some Recommendations By City Light and 'Phone Committee In a report submitted by the Light and Telephone committee to the city council last night several recommendations were made. Among them are that Mr. Dodds the installer of the first switch' board should remain in the city until the second switch board arrives. Firther that 200 new directories, and 500 telephone contract forms be permitted, and that telephone instruments be installed at the pumping station and at the dam on the mountain as recommended by the city engineer. Mr. Lowe is authorized to employ more men when the new cable arrives, and the committee also recommended the payment of outstanding accounts against the telephone company and that the notes to the amount of $6000 given by telephone stockholders to the Canadian Bank of Commerce be paid. ALD. BARROW "ROARS" He Does Not Like Muskeg Dumping On Streets. Referring to the matter of the granting of W. L. Barker's petition to dump muskeg on the street in connection with the excavation work for the new hotel to be erected on First avenue, Aid. Barrow rose at last night's council meeting to protest that this petition had not been referred to the Streets, Works, and Property committee. "If it had been so," he added "I should have objected to it, and presented a minority report to the council. But it was not, and this is the reason of my roar tonight." There was no discussion. Mayor and council seemed awed into silence by so rare an occurrence as a roar from Aid. Barrow. WHY BUTT IN? 'Let Government Finish Sewer,' Says Aid. Mobley Regarding the question of the city's taking over the part of the sewer work at present nearing completion, from the Government Aid. Lynch explained to Aid. Hilditch last night that it was necessary to understand exactly where they stood in the matter of the financial aspect of the work. He had obtained all wanted information from Mr. McMullen. It was necessary that the Finance committee should have the position clear. Aid. Pattullo thought the main thing was that they should be sure they incurred no liability for cost of the work to be completed. "But the work is so nearly finished now, " he said "why monkey with it? Leave it to the government to finish. It is getting on all right isn't it?" "Yes" said the mayor "I think they might as well go right ahead and finish it. Our city engineer has enough to do without adding to his duties the work of supervision of this sewer." It was agreed to file the report dealing with this matter. PETER BLACK'S LARGE HOTEL ROOFING OF NEW HOUSE FINISHED THIS AFTERNOON Commanding Situation on First Avenue and Seventh Street.���Is To Be One of Largest and Best Appointed Hostelries in City. There is great activity in hotel building just now and each new structure seems to be an improvement upon the last one in size, design or some other notable feature. These later buildings, too, are more aunstantial and expensive, denoting a confidence in the stability of the city and a desire to build for the needs of the future rather then to meet present demands. The one Peter Black is erecting at the corner of First avenue and Seventh street is an evidence of this. The roof was finished this afternoon and one can judge of the position it is bound to fill as one of the leading hotels of Prince Rupert for many years to come, from its present appearance. Its proximity to the site for the new passenger depot and its commanding situation are features that Mr. Black thought warranted him in supplying as good a building and of as permanent a character as possible, and he seems to have succeeded in doing this. The new Black hotel covers two full lots and is three stories with a full basement 60 x 100 feet, well-lighted and eight feet in the clear. Wide sidewalks of concrete will surround it on Seventh street and Font avenue and on each there is a large entrance. On each upper floor there are wide windows set out over the pavement, six on the street and four on the front. These will have window seating so that the guests may sit and look out over the bay or on the bustling town. The rear of the big structure is designed in the form of an "E", so that by the construction of these two courts every room is well supplied with natural light and pure air. The entrance hall on the avenue has a grand stair case eight feet wide springing from the rear and to the right is the office and reading room. Back of this is a dining room which is to have small party tables and accommodate about fifty people without crowding. Great attention will be paid to the furnishing of the commodious kitchen, and it will be supplied with the most modem of appliances, with steam tables, butler's pantry and so on. On the other side of the entrance is the buffet. This is thirty-eight feet long by twenty-four wide and is to be fitted up regardless. There is a billard room that will accommodate three tables, and a barber shop for the convenience of guests. The interior decorations and furnishings are planned on those of the New Washington of Seattle, and Mr. Black says that when the hotel is running he shall see that there are plenty of blooming plants and shrubs all over the house, as he believes nothing gives such a grace and homelike charm as plenty of flowers. The ladies parlor on the first floor, which is nineteen feet by twenty-four, will be as pretty as it can be made, and the.same of everyone of the forty-six bedrooms, the very smallest of which will be nine feet by fourteen. The halls, too, are spacious and in every detail the house promises to be really up-to-date and well equipped for tourist trade. The whole house will be steam heated from the basement with radiators in every room. Munro & Lalley are the architects and Mr. Hilditch the contractor. Both firms have good reason to be proud of their work. Mr. Black says part of the rooms will be ready for occupancy this week but that the formal opening and house- warming is to be marked by a grand ball October 16th, if that date does not conflict with the monthly ball of the Kaien Island club. Between times Mr. Black says he can accommodate all Yukon sourdoughs and their friends in at least as good a way as they have been accustomed to. Peter was very popular in the Klondike and will undoubtedly! gain a large proportion of the trade from the north for his new house. GOVERNMENT WHARF Board of Trade Endorses Petition Addressed to Premier McBride At the general meeting of the board of trade last night the petition started by J. H. Rogers last month, praying the premier to use his influence for the early completion of the government wharf, was brought forward. The petition was signed by a large majority of the property owners of the city, and its general tenor being well known to those present the desire of Mr. Rogers to have it endorsed by the board and presented to the premier upon his visit here was heartily approved without any discussion. It seemed to be generally expected that the premier would be here some time within the next two weeks. ANOTHER STEP TOWARD LIGHT ARE BX. BOILERS A GOOD BARGAIN?

CITY TO SECURE OPTIONS ON LOTS FOR PLANT SITE Recommendations of Light and Phone Committee in Report Adopted at Last Nights City Council Meeting. The report of the Telephone and Lighting committee to the city council last night included the following recommendations regarding the proposed city lighting station: The committee recommend that they mayor and chairman of the Finance committee be authorized to secure options on certain lots with a view to purchasing same for a site for the proposed city electric lighting plant. MEMBERS IN ARREARS Board of Trade Brings Up Delinquents With Short Turn Secretary Stephens f the Board of Trade drew the attention of members* who attended the general meeting last night that quite a few members were in arrears and at once so many stood up ready to accept the challenge that he asked for a recess of five minutes. During that time he was busy taking in the money putting off the writing of receipts until later. There were still a number of names on the books figuring as delinquents and by motion some of those who are absentees were struck off. It was then proposed to read the whole list, in accordance with the bylaws Of the board. To this the secretary suggested that action had better be postponed until the next meeting, as he felt assured by that time, in consequence of such a notice, there would be few names to read. Welcomed Magistrate Back Magistrate Carss returned this morning to his task of administering justice to the delinquents of the city of Prince Rupert, and presided over todays police court. J. E. McKechnie appeared before the bar o pustice pleading guilty to a charge of having been drunk last night. There was nothing else for it. He was called upon to find a five-spot and frills before leaving a sadder and a wiser man. Hospital Committee Will Meet A meeting of the General Hospital committee is to be called this week on a day not yet fixed by A. Cuthbert the organizing secretary. Several important items of business will be discussed notably the question of furnishings and hospital equipment, and the organization of a ladies' auxiliary. The hospital building makes rapid progress. The question of the city's bargain with the B. C. Tie and Timber Co., came before the city council again last night, and as the matter had been so far dealt with in a manner informally, the mayor suggested that the council should adjourn for a ten minutes recess while the telephone and lighting committee considered the matter of the offer of $6,600 to the B.C.Co., for their plant. This was agreed to, and at the end of the recess the committee reported to the council confirming the matter. Some discussion followed. Aid. Hilditch asked if the boilers were in good shape. "If they are not, " he ���aid "this is just throwing away $4000." He understood that at a previous ex- I amination the boilers had been considred pretty bad. , Aid. Lynch reminded the meeting that the city was under compulsion to buy. The previous examination of these boilers was not specially particular as they were not thinking then of putting in such horse power. Besides, at that time the company were asking $1,600 more for their's. Aid. Mobley who was capable of judging such plant had examined the boilers now, and reported them good. He thought the city had made a good bargain. The mayor said that he had at first understood that the valves and fittings of the boilers had been destroyed and that it would be very difficult to take the boilers up town. The first offer of the B. C. Co., had been to have the boilers refitted and supplied with coal grates, tested, and so handed over to the city for $7,500. But the bargain preferred was to take the boilers as they stood for $5,500 with the pole line etc., but not the dynamo. The reason he had objected to the boilers before was because they were not what the city then required. Aid. Mobley said that as far as he could judge the boilers were practically as good as ever. In view of the fact that they had to take two of them anyway under charter, he thought it as well for the city to take the whole lot. He did not believe the boilers had been subjected to more than normal heat during the fire. Aid. Mclntyre said he would like to be sure that the boilers were all'right and worth what the city was to pay for them. "If they are to help us to get a lighting system soon, that alone would make me favorable to the proposition" he added. Aid. Pattullo wished to prevent unnecessary delay over the purchase. If the city waited for a test and perhaps later for arbitration regarding the price of the plant, time might pass until they found themselves in the position of having a new lighting plant in and the compulsory purchase of these boilers still on their hands. Aid. Hilditch pointed out that a test was necessary in any case before they could start up with these boilers but thought that the test could be carried out by engineers in the city so as to satisfy the government inspector so that they could start up soon and have the official inspection in course. Aid. Mobley supported this view, and the matter of the purchase of the B. C. Tie and Timber Co's plant was confirmed by the council's adoption of the Light and Telephone committee's report.

Then came the discovery that the ap plicants has not yet obtained their leases, but simply receipts for their money and that there was a conflict as to whether the idea was conveyed at the sale that waterfront grants were conveyed. The chief commissioner said this was a serious question. The applicants had an equitable title, but when the government came to give the titles, they might make terms. Or they might refuse to issue a license and give a fiat and say they would do as the courts directed. It was left in the position that the applicants must produce their titles before the board will move in the matter. TELEPHONE TRANSACTIONS Some Recommendation* By City Light and 'Phone Committee In a report submitted by the Light and Telephone committee to the city council last night several recommendations were made. Among them are that Mr. Dodds the installer of the first switch' board should remain in the city until the second switch board arrives. Firther that 200 new directories, and 500 telephone contract forms be permitted, and that telephone instruments be installed at the pumping station and at the dam on the mountain as recommended by the city engineer. Mr. Lowe is authorized to employ more men when the new cable arrives, and the committee also recommended the payment of outstanding accounts against the telephone company and that the notes to the amount of $6000 given by telephone stockholders to the Canadian Bank of Commerce be paid. PETER BLACK'S LARGE HOTEL ROOFING OF NEW HOUSE FINISHED THIS AFTERNOON Commanding Situation on Firat Avenue and Seventh Street.���la To Be One of Largest and Best Appointed Hostelries in City. ALD. BARROW "ROARS" He Does Not Like Muakeg Dumping On Street* Referring to the matter of the granting of W. L. Barker's petition to dump muskeg on the street in connection with the excavation work for the new hotel to be erected on First avenue, Aid. Barrow rose at last night's council meeting to protest that this petition had not been referred to the Streets, Works, and Property committee. "If it had been so," he added "I should have objected to it, and presented a minority report to the council. But it was not, and this is the reason of my roar tonight." There was no discussion. Mayor and council seemed awed into silence by so rare an occurrence as a roar from Aid. Barrow. WHY BUTT IN? "Let Government Finish Sewer,' Says Aid. Mobley Regarding the question of the city's taking over the part of the sewer work at present nearing completion, from the Government Aid. Lynch explained to Aid. Hilditch last night that it was necessary to understand exactly where they stood in the matter of the financial aspect of the work. He had obtained all wanted information from Mr. McMullen. It waa necessary that the Finance committee should have the position clear. Aid. Pattullo thought the main thing was that they should be sure they incurred no liability for cost of the work to be completed. "But the work is so nearly finished now, " he said "why monkey with it? Leave it to the government to finish. It is getting on all right isn't it?" "YeB" said the mayor "I think they might as well go right ahead and finish it. Our city engineer has enough to do without adding to his duties the work of supervision of this sewer." It was agreed to file the report dealing with this matter. There is great activity in hotel building just now and each new structure seems to be an improvement upon the last one in size, design or some other notable feature. These later buildings, too, are more Bunstantial and expensive, denoting a confidence in the stability of the city and a desire to build for the needs of the future rather then to meet present demands. The one Peter Black is erecting at the corner of First avenue and Seventh street is an evidence of this. The roof was finished this afternoon and one can judge of the position it is bound to fill as one of the leading hotels of Prince Rupert for many years to come, from its present appearance. Its proximity to thc site for the new passenger depot and its commanding situation are features that Mr. Black thought warranted him in supplying as good a building and of as permanent a character as possible, and he seems to have succeeded in doing this. The new Black hotel covers two full lots and is three stories with a full basement 60 x 100 feet, well-lighted and eight feet in the clear. Wide sidewalks of concrete will surround it on Seventh street and Forst avenue and on each there is a large entrance. On each upper floor there are wide windows set out over the pavement, six on the street and four on the front. These will have window seating so that the guests may sit and look out over the bay or on the bustling town. The rear of the big structure is designed in the form of an "E", so that by the construction of these two courts every room is well supplied with natural light and pure air. The entrance hall on the avenue has a grand stair case eight feet wide springing from the rear and to the right is the office and reading room. Back of this is a dining room which is to have small party tables and accommodate about fifty people without crowding. Great attention will be paid to the furnishing of the commodious kitchen, and it will be supplied with the most modem of appliances, with steam tables, butler's pantry and so on. On the other side of the entrance is the buffet. This is thirty-eight feet long by twenty-four wide and is to be fitted up regardless. There is a billard room that will accommodate three tables, and a barber shop for the convenience of guests. The interior decorations and furnishings are planned on those of the New Washington of .Seattle, and Mr. Black says that when the hotel is running he shall see that there are plenty of blooming plants and shrubs all over the house, as he believes nothing gives such a grace and homelike charm as plenty of flowers. The ladies parlor on the first floor, which is nineteen feet by twenty-four, will be as pretty as it can be made, and the.same of everyone of the forty-six bedrooms, the very smallest of which will be nine feet by fourteen. The halls, too, are spacious and in every detail the house promises to be really up-to-date and well equipped for tourist trade. The whole house will be steam heated from the basement with radiators in every room. Munro & Lalley are the architects and Mr. Hilditch the contractor. Both firms have good reason to be proud of their work. Mr. Black says part of the rooms will be ready for occupancy this week but that the formal opening and house- warming is to be marked by a grand ball October 15th, if that date does not conflict with the monthly ball of the Kaien Island club. Between times Mr. Black says he can accommodate all Yukon sourdoughs and their friends in at least as good a way as they have been accustomed to. Peter was very popular in the Klondike and will undoubtedly gain a large proportion of the trade from the north for his new house. GOVERNMENT WHARF Board of Trade Endorses Petition Addressed to Premier McBride At the general meeting of the board of trade last night the petition started by J. H. Rogers last month, praying the premier to use his influence for the early completion of the government wharf, was brought forward. The petition was signed by a large majority of the property owners of the city, and its general tenor being well known to those present the desire of Mr. Rogers to have it endorsed by the board and presented to the premier upon his visit here was heartily approved without any discussion. It seemed to be generally expected that the premier would be here some time within the next two weeks. ANOTHER STEP TOWARD LIGHT CITY TO SECURE OPTIONS ON LOTS FOR PLANT SITE ARE BX. BOILERS A GOOD BARGAIN? CITY COUNCIL DECIDES LAST NIGHT THAT THEY ARE Purchase of Plant at $5,500 ia Confirmed���Mayor and Aldermen All Anxious to Hasten Matter of City Lighting System. Recommendations of Light and Phone Committee in Report Adopted at Lest Nights City Council Meeting. The report of the Telephone and Lighting committee to the city council last night included the following recommendations regarding the proposed city lighting station: The committee recommend that they mayor and chairman of the Finance committee be authorized to secure options on certain lots with a view to purchasing same for a site for the pro- posed city electric lighting plant. MEMBERS IN ARREARS Board of Trade Brings Up Delinquents With Short Turn Secretary Stephens f the Board of Trade drew the attention of members* who attended the general meeting last night that quite a few members were in arrears and at once so many stood up ready to accept the challenge that he asked for a recess of five minutes. During that time he was busy taking in the money putting off the writing of receipts until later. There were still a number of names on the books figuring as delinquents and by motion some of those who are absentees were struck off. It was then proposed to read the whole list, in accordance with the bylaws of the board. To this the secretary suggested that action had better be postponed until the next meeting, as he felt assured by that time, in consequence of such a notice, there would be few names to read. Welcomed Magistrate Back Magistrate Carss returned this morning to his task of administering justice to the delinquents of the city of Prince Rupert, and presided over todays police court. J. E. McKechnie appeared before the bar o pustice pleading guilty to a charge of having been drunk last night. There was nothing else for it. He was called upon to find a five-spot and frills before leaving a sadder and a wiser man. Hospital Committee Will Meet A meeting of the General Hospital committee is to be called this week on a day not yet fixed by A. Cuthbert the organizing secretary. Several important items of business will be discussed notably the question of furnishings and hospital equipment, and the organization of a ladies' auxiliary The question of the city's bargain with the B. C. Tie and Timber Co., came before the city council again last night, and as the matter had been so far dealt with in a manner informally, the mayor suggested that the council should adjourn for a ten minutes recess while the telephone and lighting committee considered the matter of the offer of $5,500 to the B.C.Co., for their plant. This was agreed to, and at the end of the recess the committee reported to the council confirming the matter. Some discussion followed. Aid. Hilditch asked if the boilers were in good shape. "If they are not, " he ���aid "this is just throwing away $4000." He understood that at a previous examination the boilers had been considred pretty bad. Aid. Lynch reminded the meeting that the city was under compulsion to buy. The previous examination of these boilers was not specially particular | as they were not thinking then of putting in such horse power. Besides, at j that time the company were asking $1,500 more for their's. Aid. Mobley who was capable of judging such plant had examined the boilers now, and reported them good. He thought the city had made a good bargain. The mayor said that he had at first understood that the valves and fittings of the boilers had beer, destroyed and that it would be very difficult to take the boilers up town. The first offer of the B. C. Co., had been to have the boilers refitted and supplied with coal grates, tested, and so handed over to the city for $7,500. But the bargain preferred was to take the boilers as they stood for $5,500 with the pole line etc., but not the dynamo. The reason he had objected to the boilers before was because they were not what the city then required. Aid. Mobley said that as far as he could judge the boilers were practically as good as ever. In view of the fact that they had to take two of them anyway under charter, he thought it as well for the city to take the whole lot. He did not believe the boilers had been subjected to more than normal heat during the fire. Aid. Mclntyre said he would like to be sure that the boilers were all right and worth what the city was to pay for them. "If they are to help us to get a lighting system soon, that alone would make me favorable to the proposition" he added. Aid. Pattullo wished to prevent unnecessary delay over the purchase. If the city waited for a test and perhaps later for arbitration regarding the price of the plant, time might pass until they found themselves in the position of having a new lighting plant in and the compulsory purchase of these boilers still on their hands. Aid. Hilditch pointed out that a test was necessary in any case before they could start up with these boilers but thought that the test could be carried out by engineers in the city so as to satisfy the government inspector so that they could start up soon and have the official inspection in course. Aid. Mobley supported this view, and the matter of the purchase of the B. C. Tie and Timber Co's plant was confirmed by the council's adoption of the Light and Telephone committee's report. building makes rapid progress.

Prince Rupert and Stewart POISON USED IN CRIPPEN CASE I NICE POINT BROUGHT FORWARD BY THE DEFENCE Question of Disposal of Reward Likely To Be Settled By Courts, Scotland Yard Man Contesting Claim of Captain Kendall. (Special to the Optimist) London, Sept. 12���The Crippen inquest was resumed this morning and the undertaker and morgue keeper each spent an uneasy half hour on the witness stand, under the cross-examination of Mr. Newton, the barrister who is conducting the defence of Dr. Crippen. Mr. Newton tried to get an admission from them that when the body of Belle Elmore was removed they used carbolic acid to counteract the odours from the body. When asked the object of the searching enquiry into this point Mr. Newton said that if carbolic acid had been so used the analysis made by the government chemist showing the presence of hyoscine was worthless. Both witnesses declared that there was no ground for the report that carbolic had been used in any form. Mr. Newton also sought to show by these witnesses that the way the body was shovelled into the box would account for the bruises upon it. Miss May, secretary of the Music Hall Guild, of which Belle Elmore was a leading member, testified to a dream she had that Dr. Crippen had strangled his wife. The dream was of the most vivid character, she said, and the sudden disappearance of Belle Elmore about that time recalled it to her memory. She also told of Elmore's life with Crippen at the time at which Miss Le Neve entered the doctor's service, drawing the conclusion that the married life of the deceased at that time was not a happy one Neither of the prisoners were present at the inquest. The courts will probably be called upon to decide about the disposal of the reward offered for the capture of Dr. Crippen. Detective-Sergeant Barclay, of Scotland Yard, claims that he put the authorities on the right track, and he wi 1 contest the claim put in by Captain Kendall, of the Montrose, who reported by wireless that the refugees were on his Canadian Pacific Railway SOUTHBOUND Princess Royal and Princess Beatrice Sail alternately every Saturday morn* ing to Vancouver, Vietoria and Seattle, calling at Swanson Bay and Alert Bay.

The new Black hotel covers two full lots and is three stories with a full basement 60 x 100 feet, well-lighted and eight feet in the clear. Wide sidewalks of concrete will surround it on Seventh street and Foret avenue and on each there is a large entrance. On each upper floor there are wide windows set out over the pavement, six on the street and four on the front. These will have window seating so that the guests may sit and look out over the bay or on the bustling town. The rear of the big structure is designed in the form of an "E", so that by the construction of these two courts every room is well supplied with natural light and pure air. The entrance hall on the avenue has a grand stair case eight feet wide springing from the rear and to the right is the office and reading room. Back of this is a dining room which is to have small party tables and accommodate about fifty people without crowding. Great attention will be paid to the furnishing of the commodious kitchen, and it will be supplied with the most modern of appliances, with steam tables, butler's pantry and so on. On the other side of the entrance is the buffet. This is thirty-eight feet long by twenty-four wide and is to be fitted up regardless. There is a billard room that will accommodate three tables, and a barber shop for the convenience of guests. The interior decorations and furnishings are planned on those of the New Washington of .Seattle, and Mr. Black says that when the hotel is running he shall see that there are plenty of blooming plants and shrubs all over the house, as he believes nothing gives such a grace and homelike charm as plenty of flowers. The ladies parlor on the first floor, which is nineteen feet by twenty-four, will be as pretty as it can be made, and the.same of everyone of the forty-six bedrooms, the very smallest of which will be nine feet by fourteen. The halls, too, are spacious and in every detail the house promises to be really up-to-date and well equipped for tourist trade. The whole house will be steam heated from the basement with radiators in every room. Munro & Lalley are the architects and Mr. Hilditch the contractor. Both firms have good reason to be proud of their work. Mr. Black says part of the rooms will be ready for occupancy this week but that the formal opening and house- warming is to be marked by a grand ball October 15th, if that date does not conflict with the monthly ball of the Kaien Island club. Between times Mr. Black says he can accommodate all Yukon sourdoughs and their friends in at least as good a way as they have been accustomed to. Peter was very popular in the Klondike and will undoubtedly gain a large proportion of the trade from the north for his new house. GOVERNMENT WHARF Board of Trade Endorses Petition Addressed to Premier McBride At the general meeting of the board of trade last night the petition started by J. H. Rogers last month, praying the premier to use his influence for the early completion of the government wharf, was brought forward. The petition was signed by a large majority of the property owners of the city, and its general tenor being well known to those present the desire of Mr. Rogers to have it endorsed by the board and presented to the premier upon his visit here was heartily approved without any discussion. It seemed to be generally expected that the premier would be here some time within the next two weeks. ANOTHER STEP TOWARD LIGHT CITY TO SECURE OPTIONS ON LOTS FOR PLANT SITE ARE B.C. BOILERS A GOOD BARGAIN? CITY COUNCIL DECIDES LAST NIGHT THAT THEY ARE Purchase of Plant at $5,500 ia Confirmed���Mayor and Aldermen All Anxious to Hasten Matter of City Lighting System. Recommendations of Light and Phone Committee in Report Adopted at Last Nights City Council Meeting. The report of the Telephone and Lighting committee to the city council last night included the foUowing recommendations regarding the proposed city lighting station: The committee recommend that The question of the city's bargain with the B. C. Tie and Timber Co., came before the city council again last night, and as the matter had been so far dealt with in a manner informally, the mayor suggested that the council should adjourn for a ten minutes recess while the telephone and lighting committee considered the matter of the offer of $5,500 to the B.C.Co., for their plant. This was agreed to, and at the end of the recess the committee reported to the council confirming the matter. aSome discussion followed. Aid. Hilditch asked if the boilers were in good shape. "If they are not, " he ���aid "this is just throwing away $4000." He understood that at a previous examination the boilers had been considred pretty bad. , Aid. Lynch reminded the meeting that the city was under compulsion to buy. The previous examination of these boilers was not specially particular as they were not thinking then of putting in such horse power. Besides, at that time the company were asking $1,500 more for their's. Aid. Mobley who was capable of judging such plant had examined the boilers now, and reported them good. He thought the city had made a good bargain. The mayor said that he had at first MEMBERS IN ARREARS Board of Trade Brings Up Delinquent* With Short Turn they mayor and chairman of the Finance committee be authorized to secure ! underetood" that" the "valvw and fittings options on certain lots with a view to | of the boilerg had been de8troyed and purchasing same for a site for the pro- that it would ^ very difficult t0 take posed city electric lighting plant. the boiler8 up town The fint of{er o{ the B. C. Co., had been to have the boilers refitted and supplied with coal grates, tested, and so handed over to the city for $7,500. But the bargain preferred was to take the boilers as they stood for $5,500 with the pole line etc., f the Board of I but not the dynamo. The reason he had objected to the boilers before was because they were not what the city then required. Aid. Mobley said that as far as he could judge the boilers were practically as good as ever. In view of the fact that they had to take two of them anyway under charter, he thought it as well for the city to take the whole lot. He did not believe the boilers had been subjected to more than normal heat during the fire. Aid. Mclntyre said he would like to be sure that the boilers were aU'right and Secretary Stephens Trade drew the attention of members* who attended the general meeting last night that quite a few members were in arrears and at once so many stood up ready to accept the challenge that he asked for a recess of five minutes. During that time he was busy taking in the money putting off the writing of receipts until later. There were still a number of names on the books figuring as delinquents and by motion some of those who are absentees were struck off. It was then proposed to read the whole list, in accord- worth what the city was to pay for them, ance with the bylaws Of the board. To "If they are to help us to get a lighting this the secretary suggested that action system soon, that alone would make me had better be postponed until the next favorable to the proposition" he added, meeting, as he felt assured by that time.} Aid. Pattullo wished to prevent un- in consequence of such a notice, there would be few names to read. Welcomed Magistrate Back Magistrate Carss returned this morning to his task of administering justice to the delinquents of the city of Prince Rupert, and presided over todays police court. J. E. McKechnie appeared before the bar o pustice pleading guilty to a charge of having been drunk last night. There was nothing else for it. He was called upon to find a five-spot and frills before leaving a sadder and a wiser man. Hospital Committee Will Meet A meeting of the General Hospital committee is to be called this week on a day not yet fixed by A. Cuthbert the organizing secretary. Several important items of business will be discussed notably the question of furnishings and hospital equipment, and the organization of a ladies' auxiliary. The hospital building makes rapid progress. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE OPTIMIST necessary delay over the purchase. If the city waited for a test and perhaps later for arbitration regarding the price of the plant, time might pass until they found themselves in the position of having a new lighting plant in and the compulsory purchase of these boilers still on their hands. Aid. Hilditch pointed out that a test was necessary in any case before they could start up with these boilers but thought that the test could be carried out by engineers in the city so as to satisfy the government inspector so that they could start up soon and have the official inspection in course. Aid. Mobley supported this view, and the matter of the purchase of the B. C. Tie and Timber Co's plant was confirmed by the council's adoption of the Light and Telephone committee's report. Petition For Stand Pipe Granted The petition to the city council by Olier Besner to have a stand pipe erected beside his premises The New Knlx Hotel has been granted by the city council, and order will be given that th work be carried out forthwith.

MAK1INL In* FREE MILLING ORE ON SKEENA t Well Known Mining Expert Examines Ninemile Claims and Reports Favorably on This Well Mineralized Area. Across the Skeena river and opposite the Indian village of Gitwingak ore which appears to be close to a free- milling gold ore has been discovered by J. H. Verschoyle and C. E. Ellaby in a wide ledge, traceable continuously for a considerable distance. Returns from the first samples sent to Vancouver for assay have been received by wire with only the totals given, which were $24 per ton, assayed for gold, silver and copper. Samples shown in town were said to be the same as those sent to the assayer and would hardly give more than a strong trace in copper. The formation is described as being the usual thing in that|vicinity, sedimen- taries with granitic intrusives; the sedimentaries being altered into a quartzite along the point of contract with the granitic rocks. If, upon the receipt of complete returns, the values should be found to consist in the greater part of gold, and there is no evidence in the rock of any considerable amount of silver, the proposition should be one of worth. Ninemile Rich in Mineral* R. G. Steele, mining and mechanical engineer, went over Ninemile mountain, from the Silver Cup claims on the west to the east end of the mineralized zone, including the Sunrise and the Lead King group owned by the Hazelton Ninemile Mining Company, returning to town at the end of last week. He went up principally to examine the Silver Bell and the claims owned by L. M. Woods and others, near the Silver Cup basin. Mr. Steele quite agrees with the opinion of all mining men who have visited the hill that the formation is sedimentary, cut by granitic intrusions. Four deep basins have been cut into the north side of the hill, in the westernmost of which lie the Silver Cup group and the claims of the Silver Bell group, two in number, owned by S. B. Slinger and others of Hazelton. At the upper tunnel of the Silver Cup men are at present sorting out and sacking men are at present sorting out and sacking for shipment the ore broken last winter when this tunne was driven. Ore is being sacked at the No. 2. tunnel as well and this tunnel is being driven ahead. The ore in both places is of a very high grade. The next place visited was the Silver Bell. Here he found a ledge about two feet wide. Very little work has been done, but the ore is of first rate quality. Passing over the dividing ridge where are located the Barber and Barber Bill group where a vein was seen from six to eight feet wide with a varying width of ore of good quality up to two feet, the Sunrise group was reached, consisting of four claims, under bond to Prince Rupert people for $60,000, and where work is going ahead with four or five men. Ore is being sacked from the open cut in the ledge. While there he saw them heave out a block of solid ore weighing a ton and a half or more. A little lower down the hill they are driving a tunnel to intersect the same vein. In his own words Mr. Steele says: "This, in my mind, is a splendid showing. Going over the second ridge into the next basin, the third, the Hazelton- Ninemile Mining Company have a staff of men prospecting or, in other words following up a lead which I presume is the same lead as the Sunrise, which looks very promising. Over a small ridge we then came into the fourth basin, occupied by the Lead King, where I was informed a shipment of ore had been made to the Trail smelter with very favorable results. "Some thousand feet from where the ore was taken for this shipment, is a cross vein, thickness three feet six inches, and exposed for about two hundred feet, of very high grade ore. This looks to be the most promising ledge of any place on the mountain. At the head of the basin and apparently at the east end of the mineralized zone is the Silver Pick group of three claims. Development work carried on by the locators has shown up some very high- grade ore. "Although the hill has been much shattered on the surface my opinion is that as depth is attained the broken country will disappear and also that the characteristics of the mineral will change. When a foundation carrying a higher percentage of lime is reached, large replacement areas may be expected to be found. "Considering the difficulties of transportation and getting the ore from the hill, I myself do not see any difficulty at all in getting the ore from any of the Ninemile properties. A good natural grade can be obtained up Salmon river, and the ore can be dropped from the mines by 'gravitation to the railway. "There is water power in abundance for all the mines; timber on the lower reaches of the mountain, and I am com missioned to go and examine coal situated almost at the foot of the mines." Development on Manson Creek H. M. Beach and his son Geo. A. Beach, of Ottawa, and J. B. Phillips and A. Davis, of Toronto, left for Manson creek on Tuesday. H. M. Beach is manager for the Kildare Mining Co., with placer property on Manson creek. Four miners were taken from Hazelton and the party will endeavor to empty the workings of water for a thorough inspection. A new and heavier plant is needed for elevating the tailings, but though working under adverse conditions about $12,000 was taken out last year, two-thirds of which came from a space of bed rock forty feet square. Looking For Good Property E. B. Kirby, who was at one time manager of the Centre Star and War Eagle mines at Rossland for the Consolidated Co., and now registering from St. Louis, went into Bulkley valley this week and is understood to be looking for good mining property.

Sargent has discovered a vein of galena ore from three to eight feet wide and extending for a thousand feet. When this news reached Hazelton and Sealey every prospector in town left at once for the hills and for the next month or so the range behind Sealey will be carefully prospected and it is safe to say that several big finds will undoubtedly be made. As any ore found in these mountains will have to come out through the town of Sealey it can not but help the growth of the town, which at present is moving ahead ao rapidly. Within the past few weeks many lots have been sold in the townsite and building is now going ahead with leaps and bounds and before long it will be impossible to secure a lot with out paying double the present cost.

The easy grades of your road superior harbour facilities and shorter ocean route wull make you this," Mr. Willison asked pointed questions and weighed the answers carefully. What politics was the Optimist? "I see you have charged me in your issue of today with being a lecturer. You must have been thinking of Mr. Macdonald, the present editor of the Globe. He is very able on the platform. I rarely speak, merely deliver an address occasionally for some club, and never lecture." "What kind of presses do you have here?" asked Sir Mackenzie. When informed that the Optimist had a new Babcock press he remarked "That's a fine press but isn't it a little in advance for so young a town? And then you have two daily newspapers, almost three, I am told, as the semi- weekly may become one. This surprised me. We have only two in Belleville. I think a town gets on better with two; one on each side; the editors can sharpen their wits on each other when great and burning questions are scarce. "Yes, I still go to my old desk at the office of my newspaper and pound out a few thoughts. "But I am not only surprised at your newspapers I am really astonished to see so rapid a growth in so young a place. I was driven around yesterday by your j mayor and was as much impressed by what he said and the way he said it as by what I actually saw. He showed rne great wide streets with concrete walks and boulevards with trees and clustered lights, and it was all done by just waving' his hand, first his right, then his left. "You really have a most surprising city and I am pleased that I have had the opportunity of seeing it at this stage. I should have liked to have gone a ride on the railway, as that would have been an event to be remembered, but this trip to' Stewart interfered and prevented it." Mr. Willison said Stewart was really his objective point, and he went there in tho course of his duty as correspondent of the London Times. He was sorry he had not been able to spend a few days in this city but he hoped to come again. "One cannot fail to be impressed with your city," he quietly remarked, "and I am glad to find the mental pictures I had formed of it so well verified.
