Public Luncheon Given in Dominion Hall at Which Sir Wilfrid Delivers Address.���Opens Vancouver Fair Speaks to Ten Thousand People (Special to the Optimist) Vancouver, August 17.���Sir Wilfrid Laurier arrived yesterday on his first visit to the coast in nine years. Ten thousand spectators lined the streets from the railway station to Dominion Hall, where the premier attended a public luncheon. In the great procession were leading men of all political creeds, politics being a tabooed subject during the stay of the distinguished visitor. What lent color and picturesqueness to the scene was the army of Indians in the parade. Every tribe on the coast was represented by its braves, all in war paint and gaily bedizened. After the public luncheon, at which I Sir Wilfrid made a comparatively brief but brilliant address, he was escorted ] to the exhibition grounds at Hastings land went through the formality of j declaring Vancouver's first annual ex- I hibition open to the public. ' In the evening the premier addressed ten thousand people in the Horse Shoe j building. George Cowan, the Conservative j member for Vancouver, met Sir Wilfrid 1 up the line to extend a welcome to him j to the city. The apple show is being held in the I Horse Shoe building and not at the exhibition. Vancouver, August 17.���In his speech at the Horse Show building last night before ten thousand people, Sir Wilfrid Laurier ably defended the Asiatic policy of the government by a clear statement of his belief that nothing further could be done in the way of restriction and that he was confident at least a majority of Canadians agreed with him that the present regulations of Oriental immigration were sufficient. Minister of Railways Graham, and Minister of Mines Templeman both spoke before the premier. Methodist Conference Victoria, August 17.���Three hundred delegates are attending the session of the Methodist General conference, which opened here Monday night. Rev.

Revenue is Still Indefinite.���Proposition Received from Mr. Durant to Put in a Gas Producer Plant and Furnish Power The city engineer reported, to the council last night that he had obtained an estimate on the operating expenses of the temporary lighting plant. His report was as follows:- "I have obtained from the proprietor of the Sash and Door Factory a proposal to rent the boiler and engine now in use at the factory to the corporation for the purpose of generating power for electric lighting. I estimate the cost of operating the plant aB follows:- Rental of boiler and engine for one year 3,650. Fuel, 912 1-2 tons 7,300. Water, oil, waste etc 200. $11,160.00. Two engineers at $225 per month 2,700. One laborer 1.000. One superintendant 1,800. $5,600. Maintenance of pole lines etc.. 250. Depreciation 331. $581. Total Cost $17,231. Income Assuming that 80 h.p. is available the city could supply 600 carbon lamp! to consumers, or 100 Tungsten lamps. Time may be taken as 7 hours per day for the winter months, and 3 hours per day for summer months. With a charge of 16 per k. w. hour the gross receipts for winter months would be $11,497.50 and for summer months $4,927.29 or a total of $16,424.79, leaving a balance of $806.21 ro be charged against the street lighting account. With reference to the plant to be located at the foot of McBride street, and estimated to cost $30,000. The annual expense of operation, including depreciation, would be $18,272, the installation of this plant would require six months time so that litt.e revenue would be obtained the first year. Assuming that 2000 lamps are in after the first year, the revenue would be about $32,000. Wm. Mahlon Davis City Engineer In connection with the lighting question Aid. Smith said he had asked a local citizen to be present and outline a proposition for supplying the city with electric power at the city limits. The company would ask for a ten year contract and give the city an option to purchase the plant at 50 per cent of the cost. They could instal their plant in four months. Mr. Durant was asked to speak. He said he had submitted his proposition to a Vancouver man for financial backing. They proposed to put in a gas producer plant starting with a 300 K. W. plant and increase it as required. They could furnish power at a cost of 12c per K. W. hour. Mr. Waller was the man who waa with him and he had accepted the proposition and would be here next week on the CON^lNUE-iToN PAGE 8 THREE CASH PRIZES For Best Decorated Buildings for Laurier Reception. The decoration committee are offering three cash prizes for the best decorated buildings for the Laurier celebration.

Prizes for Decorations The decoration committee has changed the district for the decorations for which prizes will be given, the area now embracing the whole city. The prizes are $26, $15 and $10 as previously announced, and the competition is likely to be a keen one as many are already beginning to decorate. Police Court E.

(Special to the Optimist) Tokio, August 17.���Despite all the efforts of the government over half a million people are still homeless and a thousand are known to have lost their lives in the great floods. Rain is still falling in many places and many must be dying from starvation as it is not always possible to reach them with government supplies. One thousand and fifty houses have suffered serious damage in Tokio alone. FIRST GRADING CONTRACT LET Work is Small But Will Start at Once. Aid. Hilditch Stood for Day Labor, But Other Aldermen Who Know What Such Work Costs, Voted for The Contract System. There was hair flying in the council chamber last night. The city engineer recommended that certain tenders be accepted for grading and planking Tenth and Eleventh streets and Beach Place. Aid. Hilditch was opposed to the report and claimed that the engineer's tender on the rock was the lowest. There was a long and at times warm discussion, but finally Aid. Hilditch was the only one who wanted the day labor system adopted. Aid. Smith, a man who has had very wide experience in such matters, said they couldn't begin to do the work as cheaply as a contract. If others desired to try an experiment he would be satisfied as this was a small piece of work and only a few hundred dollars would be lost. It would prove that the day labor system is not workable here. Reports from the city engineer were received. He recommended that La Trace be awarded the contract for the plank roadway at $782.45. That Swanson get the grading contract at $3,822. The report was adopted. The city engineer's tender was $4000. In this sum was included 15 per cent for contingencies. Aid. Hilditch said if that 15 per cent was cut off the engineer would be much the lowest. He would prefer to have the work done by day labor as it was the cheaper. He moved that the engineer be instructed to proceed with the work at once by day labor. Aid. Lynch, Pattullo and Mobley were opposed to Aid. Hilditch, and favored the contract system. Aid. Naden supported Aid. Hilditch. Aid. Smith said he would like to see the experiment of day labor tried as he was of the opinion from his experience that the contingencies would amount to more than most people expected. It might cost section one a few hundred dollars, but it would be an interesting experiment. Aid. Lynch said that day labor was not so cheap. He would like to have the council look a little further into the day labor work that has already been done at the corner of Seventh street and First avenue. He believed that for the money spent 75 yards of rock had been mucked and 75 yards more broken. They could compare this with what it had cost and it would be easy to figure the actual expense out. The mayor was very much opposed to the city undertaking this work. Aid. Smith said that he was quite satisfied that the city could not do the work as cheap as the contractors. It would be easy to figure out how much the work wil cost. Aid. Pattullo moved that the recommendation of the city engineer be accepted and that the contractors mentioned be asked to sign up their contracts. Aid. Smith seconded the motion. ���Carried. The finance committee will make the financial arrangements and the mayor and clerk will sign and seal the contract. Aid. Hilditch was the only one to vote against the motion. PROGRESS MADE ON RAILROAD Officials Returning From Trip Over Whole Line. Will Be Back Here About S aturday. - Road Will Be Completed to Tete Jaune Pass and Trains Running That Far Westward Next Spring B. B. Kelliher, chief engineer of the Grand Trunk Pacific, J. W. Stewart of the contracting firm of Foley, Welch and Stewart and Mr. Lewis, a companion of Mr. Stewart who went along just for the trip, arrived at Fort George Friday of last week and are expected to return to Prince Rupert next Saturday in time to take part in the Laurier celebration. The party has been making a trip of inspection of the whole of the line Irom Edmonton and Mr. Stewart is authority for the statement that his company's contract extending to Tete Jaune Cache will be completed in early summer and trains running as far west as the Cache in a year from now. This was welcome news to the people of Fort George, as goods can then be rafted down the river at very little expense. From the eastern end the steel will reach the Athabasca river, at the entrance to the Yellowhead, by the middle of September. A total of 2,600 men and 800 teams are working w st of the McLeod river to Athabasca. Splendid progress is being made, and it is the opinion of the railway men that the tracklayers will reach the banks of the Athabasca by early December. It is expected the steel will reach Prairie creek by October 1st. The concrete work on the bridge over Prairie creek is now ready for the superstructure. G. C. Van Arsdol, the pass finder, engineer of the Prince Rupert division, met the party at Fort George and is returning with them. They took a pack train of twenty horses and set out for Hazelton, proceeding leisurely and carefully inspecting the line as surveyed. About sixty miles from here they will take a construction train and come into Prince Rupert on it.

Fleet of Schooners to Be Built For Shark and Halibut Fishing Which Will Be Followed in Addition to Whaling.���New Company. Victoria, ���Messrs. Mackenzie and Mann have taken an option to purchase the Pacific Whaling company, and will pay approximately one million dollars for the concern. A new company will be floated in London, capitalized at several million dollars, and a fleet of schooners will be built to engage in shark and halibut fishing in addition to whaling, the shark fishing enterprise being the first established in the waters of the continent. Several new whaling steamers will be ordered in Norway and a schooner fleet built here. Large schools of sharks from 25 to 30 feet long are found off Vancouver Island, and these will be treated at the coast whaling stations, oil being manufactured from the liver and guano from the carcases. Cold storage plants will be installed at Rose Harbor on Queen Charlotte Islands and at Sechart and Kyuquot on the Vancouver Island coast for treatment of halibut. The new company to be formed will be the first Canadian organization to engage in the halibut industry in these waters, which for many years past has been monopolized by American fishermen. A strong effort will be made to win back the trade. The shark fishing industry to be established will be the first of its kind in the new world. It is stated that the object of Messrs. Mackenzie & Mann in acquiring the whalers is to obtain freight for the Canadian Northern when the railway is running through to the coast. Local whalers produce thousands of tons of fertilizer yearly, which will be shipped back to the wheat fields of the northwest. The enterprize of Messrs. Mackenzie & Mann promises to give to British Columbia one of the largest and most important fishery concerns in the world.

Wednesday, Aug. 17 WILL MISS THE CANNERIES Sir Wilfrid Laurier will unfortunately be a little too late in his visit to this north country to be able to personally inspect one of Canada's greatest natural resources���the salmon fishing. It is to be deeply regretted that he will miss it. Few of the citizens of this city "themselves realize the magnitude of this industry on the coast and its importance to the welfare of this Province. The average cannery in this province costs complete with modern machinery about $60,000. It is a big investment and sometimes a very profitable one. No industry could be more interesting to the Premier while he is in the North. To see a modern cannery in operation would give him a pleasant and profitable half hour, for he could grasp at first hand the various phases of the labour problem and the different races engaged therein. Sir Wilfrid is apt in his conception of things and, as he has been dependent on the reports of inspectors and college professors for his information he might have grasped something that has previously Been overlooked. From Rivers Inlet to the Nass, including Bella Coola, Namon, Lowe Inlet etc., there are some thirty canneries representing an investment of at least two millions, and employing for three months in the year about 12,000 hands���whites, Japanese, Indians and Chinamen. This year one half million cases will be packed in pound and half pound tins, representing almost $4,000,000 which will have been taken from the rivers of this country. It is coming in direct contact with these facts that brings them forcibly to mind, and it is to be regretted that Sir Wilfrid could not be put in touch with the practical fishermen and cannery men. He might have found a solution for some of their difficulties. . Aid. Russ Humber of Victoria has resigned from the city council because a contractor who was making repairs to the city hall purchased a load of bricks from a firm of which he was a member and had them delivered to the city hall. Aid. Humber's legal advisor said he was disqualified so he resigned rather than take chances of legal proceedings against him later. The fact that he allowed city rubbish to be dumped on his firm's property was also given as a source of disqualification.

THRILLERS AT EMPRESS Melodrama Which is So Funny It Brings Tears They are running some films at the Empress theatre just now in which the sublime and the ludicrous, the tragic and the comedy follow in such lightning changes that eyes are kept moist during the run of the series. But not with sympathetic sadness. It depicts a drama so mellow as to be rotten to the core. A young wife, a betrayer, the young wife in the streets with her little girl, the betrayer appears and withers them with a two thousand volt glance, then the child is kidnapped, the wife appears on the bridge at midnight, calls upon good hevin's until the clock runs down, then does the Song-of*��th��-Shirt plunge. But the hero appears���of course. He seats himself in sadness and tells his woes to the moon. Suddenly, he espies the hole in the water and���boiling with blasphemy hangs his straw hat on a nail in the scenery, doffs his coat and folds it neatly then���with a prayer to heaven and the unkissed kiss of his mother on his lips���he plunges. . But, the canvass wall containing the raging flood falls down, and the hero is seen clutching the heroine with a man in the rear tossing up a bucket of water to represent the splash when the hero plunged. This unexpected denouement is funny, but the funniest part is to watch the faces of the supposed audience, and their changing expressions, as they thrill with the blood-curdling horrors and applaud when virtue is triumphant.

Mclntyre Supports the Petitioner!.���Others Express Their Desire to Get the Work Started But Point Out Many Other Things Third avenue property owners, headed by M. P. McCaffery, are not going to sit quietly down and await the pleasure of the aldermen in grading that avenue, if petitions and agitations will hurry it along any. They sent a petition to the council yesterday and last night there was a lot of discussion on the subject. Third avenue will shortly be started. A petition was read to the council from property owners on Third avenue asking that the grading of that avenue be started at the earliest possible date. It was referred to the Streets Committee. Aid. Mclntyre said that it was unfortunate such petitions had to come in. He had been approached some time ago by ratepayers asking that Third avenue go ahead at the same time as Second avenue. He regretted the delay on Third avenue. The Third avenue people are assessed higher and building is being badly handicapped. For instance on the corner of Third and Seventh two big buildings are being held back. Aid. Pattullo went into an explanation of the delay, laying the chief cause to the petition that had been sent in asking for a change of the grade on that avenue. Aid. Lynch referred to a petition for a change in the grade on Third avenue east. The engineer said that this petition would cause some delay as it required to be looked into. The alderman then entered upon a defence of the engineering department and said that so far as the statements that there were too many engineers was concerned, there were not nearly enough. Aid. Mobley said that he did not believe that the council intended to give any advantage to one avenue over any other. He did not think there was any cause for alarm. The City Solicitor stated that if there were to be any changes in street grades they had better be made at once as the date for filing the plans would expire on September 10th. After that date it would be made more difficult to get any changes through. Aid. Mclntyre thought that the question of grades should be left entirely in the hands of the engineer. FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE DEAD Movement to Have Public Funeral In Westminster Abbey (Special to the Optimist) London, August 16.���Florence Nightingale died on Saturday afternoon and the Sunday newspapers published columns descriptive of the career of this famous woman, from the time of her experience as a nurse in the Crimean war down to the present. The funeral was to be private, according to her expressed wish, but a movement has been started for a public funeral. The soldiers pe- itioned for a funeral pageant and this has been accorded. The remains will be honored by sepulchre in Westminster Abbey. TWO MURDERERS ESCAPE Both Made a Clean Getaway From The Hamilton Insane Asylum (Special to the Optimist) Toronto, August 16.���Two insane murderers excaped from the Hamilton Insane asylum last night and are still at liberty. One of the men is Gunner Moir, who ran amuck with a rifle at the barracks and killed an officer. The other is named McTaggard, who slew his wife here in 1899. There is a panic in the district this morning, owing to fear of these insane murderers. HARVEST TRAINS START Usual Complaints of Farmers They Cannot Secure Labor (Special to the Optimist) Winnipeg, August 17.���The first harvest excursion train, with eleven hundred men aboard, arrived here yesterday. They had had a good trip with the exception that at Caledon one car jumped the track and two men were injured. Farmers are making the usual complaints against the railway people for not having started these excursion trains earlier, and are predicting that part of the harvest will be lost because of the scarcity of labor. Get Preserving Jars -AT- SIMON'S FAIR 3rd Ave. Between 6th and 7th WE SELL FOR LESS A KNOTTY PROBLEM CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Prince Rupert He asked only a few changes. Mr. Durant asked that the council delay action until Mr. Waller arrives. To adopt this plan the whole city could be lighted the first year and not only section one, and it would save the expense of putting in the temporary plant which would be worthless in a short time. A rate of 12c per K. W. hour would represent a cost of 3c per 16 c.p. lamps for 5 hours or very nearly as cheap as the eastern cities. They could also put in a low figure for power to be used in the day time. The aldermen calledn Egineer Davis to the council chamber and they en- dulged in a long discussion on his report on thc electric light plant. Aid. Mobley mcved that the engineer be instructed to compile data so that he can secure the necessary machinery for distributing the electric energy. The question of where we will get our power can be decided later but the inside machinery must be had at any rate. Aid. Lynch said that the engineer should also take up the question of installing another SO h.p. boiler along side the one in the sash and door factory now. That would enable the city to use the full 125 h.p. engine in the factory. Aid. Smith said that the proposition submitted by Mr. Durant was worthy of every consideration. He would second Aid. Mobley's motion to have the engineer secure the machinery necessary for distributing the power. Aid. Naden pointed out that it would be necessary to put a by-law to the people to pay for the plant. Aid. Mobley said he believed that there would be $9000 left in the general fund this year to pay for the electric light plant. Aid. Pattullo moved that the city take steps at once to procure the old pole line if it is possible to get it reasonably without going to arbitration. Aid. Smith said that the company has already been asked to submit a proposition to the city b t they have not yet done so. Some of the aldermen wished the engineer to tell them what the cost would be per 16 c.p. lamp if the street lamps were put in at the same price as the house lamps. After he had figured it out the engineer reported that it would cost a little less than 8c per K.W. hour, or about 4 c per 16 c.p. lamp per winter night of 7 hours. This would mean that the street lighting would cost $9,395 per annum and the revenue from the private consumers would be $7,836 per year. The street lighting was considered a tremendous tax for a town with the present population. Afeu, Knox Hofe ARTAUD & BESNER propr, ET0Rg thela^stSrn^pi^i BEDS 50c AND UP First Avenue.
