Price, Five Cents [SEWERS AND WATER WORKS i SHOULD BE PAID OUT OF A GENERAL FUND SAYS ALD. LYNCH Whole City Benefits by the Water Works���Sewers Keep Down Epidemic and Everbody Should Contribute to Their Cost. When reporting on the grading of the I streets in section one Chief Engineer Davis notified the council that they would have to make provision for sewers, water mains and storm drains at the I same time. Thfa caused Aid. Barrow to ask Aid. Lynch, chairman of the streets, ALD. LYNCH SAYS DAY LABOR MEANS GRAFT works and property committee, if he had yet come to any decision as to how the water and sewers were to be installed, whether by frontage tax or out of a general fund. Aid. Lynch replied that so far as the committee was concerned they had no report to make, but personally he was in favor of both the water works and sewers being paid for out of a general fund. In case of the water works the whole city would be benefited and the consumers would pay the cost. In regard to the sewers he said that if section one was served with a complete sewer system the whole town would benefit. It would help to keep down an epidemic and the city should pay for it. [NEW LIQUOR ACT AUGUST FIRST | Provides for Many Changes in the Liquor Business. Chief Wynn Sent Notices Out to All Hotel Keepers Notifying Them of The Changes.���Many Improvements are Looked For.

Aid, Hilditch Opposed to Street Work by Contract. Engineer's Report on GradingSection One Caused Long Debate���Day Labor as Contracts���Nothing Decided���Sent to Streets Committee. City Engineer Davis submitted his report to the council last night dealing with street improvements in Section one. He recommended that the work be done and gave an estimate of the cost at about $400,000. He said that it would be some time before complete plans could be prepared, but realizing that it was desirable to get some work under way at once he mentioned Second avenue and said that he would have plans prepared for that ready for the contractors to bid on as soon as desired. The phrase, "ready for contractors to bid on," being in the report gave Aid. Hilditch an opportunity to open up the question of day labor or contracts on the city streets. Aid. Lynch opposed the day labor plan on the ground that it was the beginning of a huge system of graft. The laborer grafts his $3.00 per day and he sanctions the grafting of thousands by his employers. The system was entirely wrong. Aid. Hilditch said he agreed with the engineer except in connection with the working out of the contract. So far as the economic conditions of the west were concerned Mr. Davis did not know anything about. That was for the council to look after. We want a good class of men here and not a lot of Montenegros who send their money out of the city. There is lots of room here for home builders and we want home builders. Therefore we want the city started off with day labor so the city can employ whosoever they like. We need the money here and we need men here who will spend their money here. Aid. Mobley said he was not deaf but he had not heard anything in the engineer's report which suggested carrying out the work by contract, day labor or any other way, and it did not say that Montenegroes, Orientals or any other class of people should be employed. Aid. Pattullo said that no doubt the work could be done by contract to better advantage than by day labor. But to overcome the Montenegro trouble he suggested that a clause be put in the contract stating that eight hours be a day's work and the minimum wage be $3.00 per day. A white man must compete with the foreigners in the amount of work that is to be done. The council cannot shut out whoever they wish. Aid. Hilditch said that a white man refused to work in a ditch with a Montenegro. Aid. Mobley said that while he did CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 TOURIST PARTY TO LAND HERE PERMISSION OBTAINED FROM IMMIGRATION AGENT Excursion Steamer Spokane Left Seattle Last Night With Large Party of Alaskan Tourists Who Will Spend Four Hours at Prince Rupert Some time ago the Pacific Coast Steamship company built and put on the run from Seattle to Skagway a special steamer for the accommodation of excursionists.

Japan Plans to Annex Hermit Kingdom Middle of Next Month.��� Koreans in Hawaii Making Elaborate Preparations for Resistance (Special to the Optimist) Tokio, July 27.���That Japan will annex Korea in August and that such action is certain to cause a general uprising of the Koreans, is the prediction of officials here. The Koreans have been in a state of revolt ever since Japan took possession of the government, but recently there has been quiet on the island enforced by the most arbitrary conduct on the part of the Japanese, who have been executing natives upon thc flimsiest of pretexts. It is known here that the present quiet is omnious and that it is accounted for by the fact that the natives have been secretly arming and organizing in order to make one bold stand for freedom from Japanese control and tyranny. The date fixed by Japan for taking over the kingdom is being looked forward to by Koreans with a- assumption of confidence in the result. Honolulu, July 27.���Among the thout sands of Koreans here some excitemen- has been caused by the official announcement that Japan will annex Korea the middle of August. Koreans here have been organizing several months and will be well prepared for an uprising next month. The preparations for arming the rebels on the island are elaborate, and leading Koreans'claim they have sufficient capital to place Korea in a condition to resist all and every move of Japan in the direction of annexation, and that they hope to drive Japan out of their country altogether. The Japanese minister here admits that a bloody uprising is expected to follow the official annexation.

ELEVEN DEAD S1XJNJURED EXPLOSION CAUSED BY CARELESS TRICK OF LABORER At Mouth of Tunnel on the Trans-' continental Railway ��� Workman Struck a Box of Explosives���Only One Workamn Managed to Escape PORTUGUESE GOT GOOD DRUBBING (Special to the Optimist) Quebec, July 27.���This morning a terrible explosion occurred on the transcontinental railway construction works near the mouth of a tunnel in which eighteen men were working, and only one of the workers managed to escape without serious injury. Near the entrance to the tunnel a large box of explosives had been deposited for blasting purposes. One of the gang from another working came along, picked up the hatchet lying on the box and aimlessly struck the box with it. Immediately there was a terrible explosion which tore down the entrance to the tunnel and entombed the eighteen workers. Not only this but it fired a train leading into the workings and there CONTINUED ON PAGE 5 STILL FIGHTING THE CHINESE PIRATES AT MACAS Portuguese Landed Three Hundred Men But Were Forced to Retire With Heavy Loss.���Chinese Believe They Have Govt. Support. (Special to the Optimist) Hongkong, July 27.���A third Portuguese force sent to wipe out the Chinese pirates has been destroyed. Three hundred of this new force were landed at Macas, the disputed territory and were immediately given battle by the Chinese. The engagement lasted for about an hour, with great loss to the Portuguese, when the government ordered that hostilities cease. The cruise of the Chinese gunboat gave the pirates an intimation that their course was favored by the Chinese government, and they therefore refused to retire upon the request of the Portuguese. It was the latter who did the retiring, but they threaten to land tonight with a force sufficient to wipe out the pirates and to settle their sovereignty of the territory for all time.

He had been the guest of C. W. Peck who, in his steamer had taken a party from Prince Rupert on an excursion to the spot Mr. Smith believes will soon become famous. The party consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and their son, Mrs. Angus Stewart, George Sharpe, Mrs. A. J. Morris, Miss McLaughlin, Mr. and Mrs. Dawes Gilmour and the host Mr. Peck. The voyage was south for about one hundred miles to the mouth of the inlet and then up the inlet eighty miles.

The tower on the Copper City side of the Skeena river is 60 feet high, constructed of heavy timbers, well braced and guyed by quarter inch wire cables. A big tree over a 100 feet in height, trimmed of its branches to a height of 60 feet will be used as a tower on the north or railroad side of the Skeena, and it is also well guyed to other trees by quarter inch cables. The cable crossing the river is one inch in diameter, steel wire, and is 1200 feet long. Two large scows, rigged together in catamaran fashion, will be used, and thus rigged the current will force them across the river from shore to shore in either direction without other motive power. W. J. Saunders has shown great enterprise by installing this much needed ferry at Copper City, and it will be but a short time when it will prove to be an important factor in the upbuilding of Copper City townsite. Considerable attention is now being attracted toward the promising mining properties up Copper river, and mining men and prospectors will now have no difficulty and will experience no delays in promptly crossing the Skeena at this point, when they come here for a trip up the Copper river.

Wilkinson, better known as "Wings" Wilkinson because of the habit of turning up unexpectedly and being heard of at so many distant points, came up on the Princess Royal and was shown over the city by his old friend John Y. Rochester, and others. He expressed his admiration of Prince Rupert's steady growth and said he had observed Prince Rupert was now being pretty well advertised on the outside so he knew it must be a live one. "There may be and there probably are a few kickers but the most earnest of these pessimists cannot get away from the fact that as the terminus of the great transcontinental railway Prince Rupert is bound to grow into a large city and a most important seaport. Those who want to kick, cannot get over this point. As to the city itself, I shall be able to tell more of it later." Women Write Bad Books London, July 23.���Leading book publishers were invited to give testimony before a conference on public morals and means of bettering them, which is being held here. The publishers agreed that women write most books objectionable from a moral point of view and that women are far more eager to buy such books than men are. HOTEL ARRIVALS. G. T. P. Inn Hotel J. A.

Wednesday, July 27 The decision of the city council not to use the city dailies for advertising is their first stroke of economy. Many merchants who have gone broke have made the same mistake of economizing on advertising. The Victoria Colonist says the wireless station here is alright and that newspapers in the south get a daily coast press service. This may be true but if there is anything doing on the wireless it is all going out and nothing coming in. When the telegraph wire is down Rupert is usually out of touch with the world. Anyway it was unkind for Aldermen Lynch and Naden to pass a motion to join the U. B. C. M., in direct opposition to the mayor's suggestion. His worship is usually more kindly disposed towards the bright ideas of these particular aldermen. It is rumored that "the ticket" is already organized for the next municipal election. Such foresight and energy is worthy of praise but the city would appreciate it much more if they organized some public works and a pay roll. ALD. LYNCH SAYS DAY WORK MEANS GRAFT continued from page 1 not favor employing foreigners the work of the city cannot be held up. To shut out all other classes but Engish speaking people would be a piece of foolishness. He would only oppose employing Orientals. Aid. Barrow said that the city should employ British subjects whenever possible no matter of what nationality. Aid. Naden favored employing the best men obtainable no matter of what nationality, but preferably the English speaking races, but conditions of life here will soon make good citizens of the foreigners. Political Machine Aid. Lynch thought that by fall or winter there would be a large number of Britishers and Canadians to be employed. There is a great deal of nonsense in race prejudice, but the foreigners often get the upper hand and rule a community. If we cannot get English speaking men to remove this rock at $3.00 per day of 8 hours we had better get somebody else. His main objection to day labor was that it was the ground work of building up of a political machine. The mer. employed at $3.00 per day would not be for a day's work but would be graft, and in return for the privilege of grafting $3.00 a day they would countenance the grafting of thousands by the men who employed them. He was opposed to day labor because it was a graft machine. His worship said he was in favor of an eight hour day and a minimum wage. So far as carrying out the work he would leave it to the city engineer. He is a good man and if we do not allow him to be boss of his department we might as well fire him altogether. Aid. Naden did not agree with the mayor in handing over the management of the city to the engineer. The council must retain control of the city's business. He did not refer to the present engineer. It was a question of principle only. It was for the city council to decide whether the work shall be done by day labor or by contract and the engineer will carry that out. Aid. Mobley said that by his remarks he did not mean to infer that the city should loose any control of any department as the executive head. His worship explained that so far as he was concerned he had not thought to turn over the management of anything to an official without reference to the council. The engineer is boss of his department and the council must be guided by his advice on technical matters, but the council shall al ways retain the right to accept or reject his reports. Aid. Lynch moved that the council instruct the city engineer to prepare ways and means for carrying out his suggestions as to providing for sewers, water works and storm drains and to submit an estimate of cost. Aid. Pattullo seconded it and it carried. The engineer's report was then referred to the streets committee. WILL PURCHASE MORE STEAMERS CAPTAIN NICHOLSON HAS HIS EYE ON THE MARKET Will Increase Number of Boats on Prince Rupert Run as Opportunity Offers.���May Buy St. Denis to Run Between Here and Islands. Victoria, July 24.���A dispatch received yesterday from Northern British Columbia stated that the Grand Trunk Pacific Steamship Co., were trying to purchase another steamer for their coast fleet. Captain Nicholson was Interviewed this morning in regard to this and stated that, while they were not actually buying at the present time, they were keeping their eye on the market, and if they saw an opportunity to secure the boat they required they would conclude a purchase. He did not care to discuss the matter further, as.he said they were not doing anything just now, but at the same time he admitted that they might at any time add another vessel to their fleet. It has been stated before in the Times that the Grand Trunk Pacific must have other plans in view in regard to the shipping business on this Coast,or they would not have erected such extensive docks both here and at Seattle as has been done. The statement of Captain Nicholson confirms this view. It is the intention of the Grand Trunk to play an important part in transportation on this Coast. Whether they will enter the ferry business between here and Vancouver does not appear, but it is certain that the Grand Trunk Pacific fleet of steamers will soon be materially increased. It has been suggested, and with some Bhow of probability, that the Grand Trunk Pacific Steamship Company will purchase the steamer St. Denis, which for the past year has been under charter to the Boscowitz Steamship Co., but which is to be released at the close of this month. Negotiations between the local company and the owners of the steamer have been under way, and may be concluded in the near future. The St. Denis is a useful boat, and would be well suited for the business between Prince Rupert and Queen Charlotte Island*. Condensed Advertisements. ARE YOU IN NEED OF HELP?

Jv 21-lm CITY TO PAY TAXES On the Government Property Until It Is Sold In the engineer's report was a suggestion that the government property in section one which will be benefitted by the proposed improvements be assessed the same as other property and that the city pay the taxes until sold by the government when the purchaser would pay the taxes thereafter. Should the government land be exempt whoever purchased it would have the benefit of the improvements without paying a cent. Aid. Mobley asked if it would be legal to tax the government property and pay the taxes out of the city's funds. He did not think it was and would like to ask the city solicitor's opinion. Aid. Naden said that while the provincial government will pay no taxes on property owned in a city they will very often make a grant to the city to help build a wharf, a bridge or something of that nature which more than pays the amount of their taxes. He did not anticipate any trouble in that regard. MARINE Steamer Royal sailed just after midnight with only a fair passenger list. The Cetriana came in yesterday and discharged merchandize.

Captain Nicholson, superintendent of ocean transportation of the Grand Trunk Pacific, was taking his ease at the Inn last night and incidentally told of the object of his trip to the Islands. He had returned from Massett and is going the again tomorrow to thoroughly investigate conditions and improve transportation facilities as much as possible seeking "to do good to the greatest number." One change he has already decided upon. The company's boats from here are to run direct to Massett, taking Port Simpson and other points on the return journey. The boat leaving here Sundays for Massett will be able to get in and out of there the same night and call at way points on her journey back to this port. Captain Nicholson's idea is to get thoroughly acquainted with the people of the islands and their needs and to endeavor to serve all. Other changes will probably be made as the result of his trip there tomorrow. He will probably return south on the Prince George next Monday.

Emmerson Centre Street The council did not hesitate in granting permission to the Fire and Water Committee to purchase 500 feet of new hose and to erect a couple of sub-stations to hold the hose. The hose will be attached to the hydrant so that in case of fire a man has only to grab the nozzle and run. The sub-stations will be built over the hydrants. A communication was read from Chas. Sangster, Canadian Fairbanks Co., asking what had been done in regard to their tender for hydrants for the water works. From White Bros Seattle asking for information re an electric light plant and asking the privilege of giving prices and information as to their machines. Both the communications were referred to the clerk to reply to. Committee Report The Fire and Water Committee reported as follows:- To the Mayor and Council, City: Gentlemen,���We, your Committee on fire and water beg to recommend the I purchase of 500 feet more of 2 1-2 inch , hose, to be used in sub-stations which we 1 would recommend be erected in con- , gested district, Section One (1). In speaking to the report Aid. Mobley ; said that the cost of the sub-hose stations three in number, would be a very no- i minal one as they would only be large j enough to hold a hose reel or a box to , hold the hose in. The mayor suggested that the com- i mittee also consider the advisability j of purchasing a couple more hose reels as they were only nominal. Aid. Mobley said that there were 1500 feet of hose now on hand and the 500 they wish to order would be sufficient. The idea so far as the new hose was concerned was to attach the hose to the hydrant and all a man has to do is to run with the nozzel. On motion of Aid. Barrow and Aid. Pattullo the committee's report was adopted and the committee ordered to purchase the hose to erect the necessary sub-stations:- By-law Passed Aid. Pattullo introduced a Temporary Loan By-law providing for borrowing $125,000 to carry on the affairs of the city until the taxes were collected. The by-law was read twice and passed and then it was passed the committee of the whole. p*******+******,***+****+t I /. S.

TO IMPROVE TABLE SERVICE CAPTAIN NICHOLSON EXPLAINS DIFFICULTY ENCOUNTERED Sending to the Atlantic Coast for Best Steward that Can be Secured��� Whole of Kitchen Crew Changed��� New Chef to be Engaged. Captain Nicholson said last night that he was still wrestling with the difficulties of bringing the service on the Prince Rupert up to the perfection point he was determined to have it. He admitted there had been some slight cause of complaint but it was solely due to the fact that a new service could not be organized at a moment's notice, and the travelling public must have a little patience and confidence that the company was doing its very best. Captain Nicholson knows the catering business from A to Izzard, and is determined there shall be no ocean boats superior in this respect to those of the Grand Trunk Pacific. "With the Prince Rupert we started out under disadvantages," he said last night. "In the first place it was only three days from the time the steamer got in from her long voyage around the Cape until the first reception meal was given. Not only in regard to the table but the vessel generally that was the most wonderful record ever made. It generally takes weeks to get a boat in order. Why it took the steamer Venture over a couple of months. With the Prince George we were moro fortunate. We had eight days in which to get her ready and although her table service is by no means up to what we shall have it there is no doubt it is a great improvement on the Prince Rupert. "On the Rupert we have the best planned kitchen entirely on the most modern lines, fine ranges, fine steam tables, electric dish washer, electric egg boiler and so on. But the staff, its organization and systematizing, is the important point. With only three days at our disposal in which to do everything there is little wonder we fell down on some minor but important points. It is the little things that count in arranging a table service. "Our steward, of course, was selected with great care. He was a first class man from the White Star line but somehow did not fit in and we had to let him out. We have now a shore steward until we can get one of the best available with experience on Atlantic liners. We have changed the kitchen crew entirely and I shall keep weeding them out until the service is what it ought to be. In the Prince George staff we begun more fortunately. The steward came to us from a Cunarder and the chef has seen service on some of the best ships of the country. "But the travelling public should understand that it takes time to organize such a force and get them working together like clockwork." The captain at this point enumerated a number of fanous hotels which had taken from two months to two years to organize their kitchen and dining room staffs, concluding with���"If the public will have a little patience they will have the most perfectly-arranged service on our boats that seaoned experience and money can produce."

Jv 21-lm CITY TO PAY TAXES On the Government Property Until It Is Sold In the engineer's report was a suggestion that the government property in section one which will be benefitted by the proposed improvements be assessed the same as other property and that the city pay the taxes until sold by the government when the purchaser would pay the taxes thereafter. Should the government land be exempt whoever purchased it would have the benefit of the improvements without paying a cent. Aid. Mobley asked if it would be legal to tax the government property and pay the taxes out of the city's funds. He did not think it was and would like to ask the city solicitor's opinion. Aid. Naden said that while the provincial government will pay no taxes on property owned in a city they will very often make a grant to the city to help build a wharf, a bridge or something of that nature which more than pays the amount of their taxes. He did not anticipate any trouble in that regard. MARINE Steamer Royal sailed just after midnight with only a fair passenger list. The Cetriana came in yesterday and discharged merchandize.

Captain Nicholson, superintendent of ocean transportation of the Grand Trunk Pacific, was taking his ease at the Inn last night and incidentally told of the object of his trip to the Islands. He had returned from Massett and is going the again tomorrow to thoroughly investigate conditions and improve transportation facilities as much as possible seeking "to do good to the greatest number." One change he has already decided upon. The company's boats from here are to run direct to Massett, taking Port Simpson and other points on the return journey. The boat leaving here Sundays for Massett will be able to get in and out of there the same night and call at way points on her journey back to this port. Captain Nicholson's idea is to get thoroughly acquainted with the people of the islands and their needs and to endeavor to serve all. Other changes will probably be made as the result of his trip there tomorrow. He will probably return south on the Prince George next Monday.

The hose will be attached to the hydrant so that in ease of fire a man has only to grab the nozzle and run. The sub-stations will be built over the hydrants. A communication was read from Chas. Sangster, Canadian Fairbanks Co., asking what had been done in regard to their tender for hydrants for the water works. From White Bros Seattle asking for information re an electric light plant and asking the privilege of giving prices and information as to their machines. Both the communications were referred to the clerk to reply to. Committee Report The Fire and Water Committee reported as follows:- To the Mayor and Council, City: Gentlemen,���We, your Committee on fire and water beg to rncommend the purchase of 500 feet more uf 2 1-2 inch hose, to be used in sub-stations which we would recommend be erected in congested district, Section One (1). In speaking to the report Aid. Mobley said that the cost of the sub-hose stations three in number, would be a very nominal one as they would only be large enough to hold a hose reel or a box to hold the hose in. The mayor suggested that the committee also consider the advisability of purchasing a couple more hose reels as they were only nominal. Aid. Mobley said that there were 1500 feet of hose now on hand and the 500 they wish to order would be sufficient. The idea so far as the new hose was concerned was to attach the hose to the hydrant and all a man has to do is to run with the nozzel. On motion of Aid. Barrow and Aid. Pattullo the committee's report was adopted and the committee ordered to purchase the hose to erect the necessary sub-stations :- By-law Passed Aid. Pattullo introduced a Temporary Loan By-law providing for borrowing $125,000 to carry on the affairs of the city until the taxes were collected. The by-law was read twice and passed and then it was passed the committee of the whole. DIFFICULTY ENCOUNTERED Sending to the Atlantic Coast for Best Steward that Can be Secured��� Whole of Kitchen Crew Changed��� New Chef to be Engaged. OFFICIALS ARE COMING President Hays and Official Staff Be Here Next Month The week after Sir Wilfrid Laurier's visit to Prince Rupert President Hays will be here with a large party of officials. Mr. Smithers, chairman of the board of directors and Mr. Norman, secretary of the board, are coming from London. Vice-president Chamberlain will also be of the party and'about thirty members of the official staff including freight and passenger agents and all the heads of the various departments. In all probability H. B. Charlton, general advertising agent of the company, will join the party here. He is now on a tour of the line from Edmonton with a party of twenty fitted out as for an exploring expedition. This party includes fifteen leading newspaper men and artists of the United Slates and Canada who, when they reach here, will have spent three months in thc wilderness that will "blossom us the rose" with the advent of the railway. Captain Nicholson said last night that he was still wrestling with the difficulties of bringing the service on the Prince Rupert up to the perfection point he was determined to have it. He admitted there had been some slight cause of complaint but it was solely due to the fact that a new service could not be organized at a moment's notice, and the travelling public must have a little patience and confidence that the company was doing its very best. Captain Nicholson knows the catering business from A to Izzard, and is determined there shall be no ocean boats superior in this respect to those of the Grand Trunk Pacific. "With the Prince Rupert we started out under disadvantages," he said last night. "In the first place it was only three days from the time the steamer got in from her long voyage around the Cape until the first reception meal was given. Not only in regard to the table but the vessel generally that was the most wonderful record ever made. It generally takes weeks to get a boat in order. Why it took the steamer Venture over a couple of months. With the Prince George we were more fortunate. We had eight days in which to get her ready and although her table service is by no means up to what we shall have it there is no doubt it is a great improvement on the Prince Rupert. "On the Rupert we have the best planned kitchen entirely on the most modern lines, fine ranges, fine steam tables, electric dish washer, electric egg boiler and so on. But the staff, its organization and systematizing, is the important point. With only three days at our disposal in which to do everything there is little wonder we fell down on some minor but important points. It is the little things that count in arranging a table service. "Our steward, of course, was selected with great care. He was a first class man from the White Star line but somehow did not fit in and we had to let him out. We have now a shore steward until we can get one of the boat available with experience on Atlantic line rs. We have changed the kitchen crew entirely and I shall keep weeding them out until the service is what it ought to be. In thc Prince George staff we begun more fortunately. The steward came to us from a Cunarder and the chef has seen service on some of the best ships of the country. "But thc travelling public Hhould understand that it takes time to organize such a force and get them working together like clockwork." The captain at this |<oint enumerated a number of faimus hotels which had taken from two months to two years to organize their kitchen and dining room staffs, concluding with���"If the public will have a little patience they will have the most perfectly-arranged service on our boats that seaoned experience and money can produce."

Call and see them. COMMISSIONER OF FISHERIES MR. BABCOCK TELLS OF SALMON CATCH ON THE SKEENA Fiah Larger and Better Quality Than Former Seasons ��� Pack Double That of Last Year.���Scarcity of Labor Owing to Government Work <^������V��^**��V H.S. WALLACE Co., Ltd. Fulton St. and Third Ave. Victoria, July 23.���M. J. P. Babcock, deputy commissioner of fisheries for the province, returned by the G. T. P. steamer Prince Rupert on Sunday from the north, where he was engaged with Dominion Inspector Williams in furnishing boat ratings. The two commissioners met in Smith's inlet in June, and together visited every salmon cannery in Northern British Columbia. They investigated fish supply conditions and matters affecting the industry generally, with a view to complying with the request of the federal minister of marine and fisheries, who visited there to prepare a boat-rating schedule for permanent adoption fixing the number of boats to be allowed on each river and to be assigned to the various canneries. As a result of their investigations they have practically completed a report that will shortly be transmitted to the department of marine and fisheries. Its contents cannot be made known until the minister shall decide. Mr. Babcock speaks with enthusiasm of the great salmon run in the north this season. "It is something phenomenal," he declares. "This run on the Skeena is greater than any of the old managers can remember. I heard only one experienced manager venture a comparison, and he remarked that this year's run was the heaviest since 1882. The pack of all the canneries on the Skeena is more than double that of last year at this time. In fact, it is satisfactory at all points throughout the north, though along the Skeena there is a shortage of fishermen, and some cannerymen find it difficult to secure sufficient indoor help. In other parts, the labor supply appears to be adequate. "I may say that while in the provincial rating 850 fishermen's licenses are available for the Skeena, up to July 14 only 770 had been issued. I understand that railway construction and the numerous government works under way in the district have absorbed all the labor available, and so have seriously interfered with the canners' regular supply. In addition to this, few Indians have come down the Skeena to the fishing grounds, and less than the usual num ber of Haidas have come over from Queen Charlotte Islands." The commissioner added that the fish caught in the north were larger and in better condition than usual. This year a case averages less then twelve fish, whereas in former years fourteen was codsidered a fair average. BUILD A THEATRE TOURISTS TO LAND CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 the people who patronize this boat are clamoring to have a call made at Prince Rupert. The management was desirous of accommodating its patrons but was afraid there might be trouble with the immigration law at this Canadian port, as the new regulations have seriously interfered with passenger traffic generally. They agreed to call at Prince Rupert if first officially assured there would be no trouble at this port. The secretary of the Publicity club took the matter up and interviewed Dr. Reddie, the immigration agent at this port. He was assured that all through passengers on board this excursion steamer would be allowed to land, after due inspection, but not to carry their baggage ashore. Upon this the secretary wired the Pacific Coast Steamship company at Seattle���"Immigration agent assures me Spokane tourists will be allowed to land at Prince Rupert." There was necessity for haste as the Spokane was booked to leave Seattle last night. She has one hundred and forty seven tourists on this trip and will make several more trips during the summer. The tourists will be able to spend four hours looking over the growth of Prince Rupert, and this should prove to be an advertisement for the city of the very best kind. New Knox Hotel A. B.

He started on Friday to cut down the trees and to clear the land and in nine days he had the theatre completed and a show opened that night. The building is 60 x 90 feet, two stories in front and one at the back. It is built of heavy timber and clap boards, and the stage and lights were all in. This is a record and the proprietor, M.
