PRINCE RUPERT'S FIRST BUDGET DEBATE Single Tax on Land and a Fifteen-Mill Rate Recommended by the Finance Minister. Revenue and Expenditure Is Estimated at About $148,000���No Taxes on Improvements to Property���Alderman Naden Objects to the High Rate, and Suggests the Aldermen's Salaries Be Cut Off and Officials Doubled Up. Finance Ministei T. D. Pattullo Lrought down his budget and placed it on the table last night. It provided for a revenue and expenditure of something like $148,000 and necessitated a tax rate of 15 mills. This was en the single tax oasis and included the taxes of all except of course the frontage tax which will be fixed after the work is done. There will be no special school tax,, hospital tax, or any of those side issues. It will be a straight tax upon the land. The budget was taken up in committee of the whole when all the heavy weight debaters had their iittie say. It looked like an unanimous approval for a while although three members had said nothing. Then when the supporters of the 15 mill rate and the large revenue began to think that all was smooth sailing Aid. Naden took occasion to play the roll of kicker, as he himself styled it. He was supported in many points by Aid. Smith and Aid. Barrow and a very interesting debate followed, with the result that the committee decided to defer action for a day or two to give the aldermen an opportunity to go more carefully into the estimates see if any reductions in the estimates could be made. Bad Effect on Investments Aid. Naden in opening stated that he had listened with a great deal of interest to the Finance Committee's estimates. It struck him, however, that it was a pretty high rate. It was about 2 1-2 per cent, of the real estate values in the city and the assessment is pretty high at that. If it was possible to cut it down it, would, he felt, be a great send off for the city. Such a high assessment and the high rate would have a bad effect upon the outside investing public as the majority of business men writing to his office always asked the rate of taxes and the assessment. Aid. Pattullo said thai' this year the city had to meet all kinds of expenses and he thought that it would be better to start off with a good sum and have a surplus at the end of the year, and next year a lower rate could be established. The rate is not high when it is remembered that nothing but the lands are taxed. The rate covers schools, hospital, etc, etc. Aid. Mobley and Mayor Stork said that the people anticipated a high rate of tax. We have got to have it if we are going to make a town here. The conditions are extraordinary and we have to meet them. Aid. Pattullo said that there were a number of items in the estimates which will eventually he charged to capital account, but in the meantime they have to. be provided for out of the current revenue, hence the large rate this year. Aid. Mobley said that if he got off with the present tax it would be the low est rate he has had to pay during his twelve years in British Columbia. He Would Cut Salaries Aid. Naden asked if it would not be possible to cut down or double up some of the officials. He mentioned the sanitary inspector and thought that the police could just as well do the duties CONTINUED ON PAGE 8 MANY CANADIANS SIGN PETITION PROTEST AGAINST ALTERATION OF ROYAL OATH Twenty-Five Thousand Canadian Signatures on Petition Presented to British Parliament���Will Probably Appeal to the House of Lords. (Special to the Optimist) London, July 13.���One of the most significant features that marked the anniversary of the battle of the Boyne��� if it be not a mere coincidence���was the presentation to parliament yesterday of a petition signed by twenty-five thousand Canadians, protesting against any alteration of the royal oath. The presentation caused considerable comment It is estimated that the number of members who will vote against the Declaration bill will be one hundred and fifty. Most of its opponents are credited with the intention of appealing to the house of lords to defeat the measure, as in the case of a similar bill brought in by Lord Salisbury in 1901.

Canada Gazette Contains Advertisement for Superintendent of Printing, Also for Superintendent of Stationery���The Popular Inference Ottawa, July 11.���An important announcement in regard to the reorganization of the printing bureau is contained in the Canada Gazette today in the shape of an advertisement by the civil service commissioner inviting competition for the position of superintendent of printing and superintendent of stationery. Formerly the position was held by Mr. William McMahan, who will probably be superannuated, and latterly by the late Frank Gouldthrite. It is impossible to obtain from the department any information as to the exact effect of this advertisement upon the reorganization of the bureau but the inference is that the reorganization will be more sweeping than was popularly believed. The man who has plenty of palm oil isn't'apt to believe much in any other kind. LAURIER ALTERS HIS ITINERARY WILL OPEN INAUGURAL FAIR AT VANCOUVER Sir Wilfrid Will Make Long Stay Here���Arrives at Noon Saturday and Leaves the Night of Monday Following. It would appear from arrangements announced that the visit of Sir Wilfrid Laurier to the Pacific toast in August is to be more official thanp olitical, so far as this part of the world is concerned. His principal stopping points in British Columbia will be Vancouver Victoria and Prince Rupert. The only other places he will visit at all will be Golden, where he will stop for an hour coming West, and Kamloops, where he may have a short stop on his way east. Following is a synopsis of Sir Wilfred's revised itinerary as repeated to executive of the Vancouver Liberal association by Hon. William Templeman: The special train bearing Sir Wilfred and party westward over the C. P. R. will reach Vancouver on the morning of Tuesday, August 16. On Tuesday afternoon Sir Wilfrid will formally open the inaugural fair of the Vancouver Exhibition Association and the speech which he will deliver on this occasion will be the only one he will favor Vancouver with. Sir Wilfrid will leave Vancouver for Victoria by special steamer about noon on Wednesday, Aug. 17, reaching Victoria early on the evening of the same day. At the capital Sir Wilfrid will be welcomed by Premier McBride and the members of his cabinet and he will speak at the gathering arranged by the Provincial government in his honor. It is possible that he may be prevailed upon to deliver an address to Victoria Liberals, but no arrangements to that end have yet been completed. Late on the night of Thursday, Aug. 18, Sir Wilfrid Laurier will sail from CONTINUED ON PAGE 5 NEW SALMON- FISHING DEVICE LABOR-SAVER WILL BE WELCOMED ON THE SKEENA. Will Draw in Salmon Nets Without Manual Handling���Worked by the Same Engine That Propels the Vessel and Is Not Costly. Captain Henry Larsen, of the pioneer shipping men at Fort Madison has perfected a device to be used in connection with salmon fishing, which promises to be a very important factor in that industry. He has also built a new fishing boat, called the Lubra, specially to accommodate the invention, and for the past few days has been exhibiting his craft on the Seattle waterfront. The invention is described as a reel equipment placed aft, which will draw in the nets without manual handling, and it is worked by the same engine which propels the vessel. The new boat is 40 feet in length, with a beam of 12 feet and a draught M 4 feet. Her speed is about 8 knots. A putty man is useful, but is apt to be hard to get rid of after his period of usefulness is over. AIRSHIPS FOR FORT GEORGE VICTORIA COLONIST AUTHOR OF THIS STORY Flying Machines as a Solution of Those Transportation Problems Which Embarrass All Colonization Schemes Based on the Interior. Nowhere else in the world has the inauguration of passenger airship service in Germany been observed with more active and peculiar interest than in this far western province of British Columbia, and more particularly by those directly and actively engaged in the promotion of colonization in New Cariboo, having Fort George as its hub and future capital. The necessity of securing immediate and convenient transportation to this new centre of population is fully appreciated, and the airship is looked upon as offering unique facilities for meeting existing difficulties. In the difficult nature of the country to be traversed in securing connection with established railway facilities the building of roads involves a question of time, and time-saving is extra important at the present juncture. If airships can be employed ro connect Fort George with points on the C. P. R., a very obvious difficulty in Cariboo's colonization will be solved. A troup of capitalists particularly interested have therefore sent an agent to Berlin to patronize the new German agency of communication and also to investigate all incidental costs in connection with the possible establishment CONTINUED ON PAGE 8 THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST ANTI-BUZZ A PERFECT MOSOUITO DISPEUJNG MIXTURE Prevents the biting of mosquitos, black flies, sand flies and all summer pests.

Hon. Thomas Taylor, minister of public works for B. C, and Wm. Manson member for Skeena in the legislative assembly, returned from their trip into the Bulkley valley, which extended ninety miles from Hazelton, on Monday and a public meeting was held that evening in the Mission school house to give the public a chance to meet them. C. F. Morrison was made chairman, and after a short address of welcome called upon Mr. Manson to address the meeting. Mr. Manson said that this was his first visit since he was elected to represent this constituency in the legislature but that he expected to come every year as long as he continued to be a member; that the interior is coming to the front and the tremendous development incurs large responsibilities to the public and government will be best served by becoming fully acquainted with the needs of the district. He realized that the burning question of this district was that of'transportation and the part the government was doing in providing roads, trails and bridges. At the session last winter he asked for $269,- 000 for this district and supported his request as far as he was able. The government was unable to grant as much as was asked in any of the constituencies and this amount had to be cut down. He was, however, able to secure the largest appropriation for his district. Mr. Manson reviewed the Canadian Northern agreement and showed the wisdom of the government's course in that matter. Mr. Manson created a distinctly favorable impression on his hearers, with most of whom he was unacquainted, and was generously applauded at the close of his speech. Mr. Taylor, who is earning the name of the Minister-in-the-Saddle, from the habit of finding out thingB for himself by visiting all parts of the province, prefaced his remarks by saying that his present trip was in no sense political; that he was here in the ordinary course of duty. He said the government fully appreciated the great developments that would follow the completion of the G. T. P. and the enormous demands upon the The Optimist DELIVERED TO ANY ADDRESS IN SECTIONS 1, 5 AND 6 EVERY DAY FOR 50c PER MONTH Lynch Bros., General Merchants GROCERIES, HARDWARE, MEN'S CLOTHING A# Sash, Doors and .Building Material.

He spoke at some length on the future possibilities of the province and drew a glowing picture of what the country would be in another short period. The last speaker of the evening was R. S. Sargent who drew attention to the necessity of a road and ferry to connect with the railway construction camps on the farther side of Bulkley river and the importance of the matter to residents and business men of Hazelton.���Omineca Herald.

It most certainly did, and thus the promise was kept. Columbus avenue, Thompson street, and San Juan Hill district and the negro quarter in Harlem were all ablaze with bunting and lithographs of 'our champion' appeared in the windows of practically every negro apartment in New York. Hell's kitchen, the Irish district adjoining San Juan Hill on the west side, was also agitated but in a different manner. A number of bitter clashes between whites and blacks occurred last night and Police Commissioner Baker has ordered extra reserve forces thrown into the feud districts, trouble seems inevitable, as the "cockiness" of the colored population seems to have advanced a hundred fold since July 4 and citizens who at first were only amused are now viewing the matter in a more serious light. The police say that pawnshops and hardware stores have done a bigger business in the sale of revolvers during the past four days than at any similar time in recent years. Most of the purchasers are white persons. A really serious situation has developed at Hammersteins, where Johnson is scheduled to open. The management has always barred negroes from the boxes at the roof garden. As a result of their clean-up on the fight, all of the sporty colored people are apparently in the millionaire class and nothing but boxes will do them. So far trouble has been avoided by the management stating that all boxes are sold, but this subterfuge is not believed to suffice permanently. Broadway restauranteurs are also worried over the attempts which has been made by negro theatre parties to invade their places. Admission has not been granted them and a batch of damage suits are espected to result. Tenders for Telephone Poles Sealed tenders will be received by the Prince Rupert Telephone Company for 100 cedar poles 30 feet long, and 30 cedar poles 85 feet long. All tenders to be submitted not later than July 20th. Specifications can be seen at the Company's office on 3rd Avenue, near Second Street. 67-6t E. LOVE, Manager. NOTICE.

It ADVERTISING RATES are one price to all-25c per inch each issue for display matter. This rate applies to all advertising without distinction of quantity, or time of contract. Reading Notices and Legal Advertising'are 10c per line. SUBSCRIPTION RATES-Daily, 50c per month, or $5.00 per year, in advance. . Weekly, $2.00 per year. Daily Edition. Wednesday, July 13 THE PROPOSED TAX RATE. A fifteen mill tax rate is something heavier than the ratepayers and business men hoped for. It was generally thought that a ten mill rate would be sufficient for this year but that opinion, of course, was not based on any practical estimate of necessary expenditure. A ten mill rate will look good to the investing public outside but everyone realizes that current expenses must be met and a rate sufficient to meet them must be made. The question is really decided in the estimates, the details of which have not yet been given to the public. In the meantime it is impossible to criticize an unknown list of items. The single tax proposition will meet with popular favor. The heavy salary-roll in the city is given as one cause of the high rate but it is an item which cannot be cut very much. The pay-roll in a growing city, like the pay-roll in a growing business, is usually in advance of its income and in this respect Prince Rupert cannot be compared with other cities of similar population. Prince Rupert is preparing for a big city and big men have to be hired here where other cities can do with small men. DR. REDDIE, M. H. O. He Received a Majority Vote of the Council. The council again took up the matter of appointing a Medical Health officer. The same three applicants names were before the council, viz Dr. Reddie, Dr. Eggert and Dr. Cade. Dr. Reddie was elected by a vote of five to two, with one spoiled ballot. PUBLIC MEETING Thursday Night to Organize Agricultural Society A public meeting will be held on Thursday night for the purpose of organizing an Agricultural and Industrial Society. His Worship the Mayor stated to the council that he had been requested to do this by the Board of Trade and it gave him pleasure to comply with the request. He would therefore adjourn the meeting of the council for that night and request all the aldermen to attend the public meeting. PETITION WAS SIGNED Telephone Will be Taken Over By the City at Once. The petition from the rate payers was received last night asking tne council to take over the assets of the Telephone Co at actual cost. The property owners in the petition represented $1,368,525. The sum required was $1,272,100 so that there is a clear nargin of $100,000 or nearly so. Aid. Lynch then moved that the city solicitor be requested to bring in a bylaw providing for the taking over of the telephone plant. The motion was adopted and the bylaw will be presented at once. Thus the council will not have to draw upon the current revenue fund or take any chance. The people have asked the council to operate the telephone and it is up to the council to act accordingly. GRAFT IN ROYAL CITY More and More Irregularities Discovered in City Accounts (Special to the Optimist) New Westminster, July 13.���The mote the accounts of the city are looked into the greater grows the municipal scandal. The auditors certain citizens insisted upon engaging last night made another sensational report. This shows that up to June $55,000 had been allowed in illegal rebates. The sum total of crooked work is said to be mounting up toward a quarter of a million and as a result of these exposures the city is likely to be involved in numerous costly litigations. A Public Meeting will be held in the Board of Trade Rooms, corner Third Avenue and Fifth St., Thursday evening, July 14th, at 8 o'clock, to discuss the holding of an Agricultural and Industrial Exhibition in Prince Rupert. FRED STORK, Mayor. ACCEPT CANADIAN BILLS Seattle Banks Abolish All Discounts Formerly Charged Seattle, July 11.���Seattle banks hereafter will accept Canadian bank notes at their face value.

BIGGEST STRIKE YET Gompers Says Garment Workers Have Broken all Precedents. New York, July 12.���Declared by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, to be the largest strike in point of numbers that has ever taken place in this country, the strike of the garment makers of this city, in which 75,000 men and women are claimed to be out, continued in full swing today with no sign of weakening on either side. CALL LAW UN-BRITISH Toronto Merchants Protest Against B. C. Companies Legislation. Toronto, July 11.���Among the business men and members of the Toronto Board of Trade there is a strong feeling against the action of the British Columbia Government in fixing the commercial tax on the basis of the capital of a company seeking to do business in that province, instead of allowing licenses to be issued, as in Ontario and the other provinces, on the amount of capital required to do business in the province where the license is sought. The matter will be taken up by the Manufacturers' Association and merchants and members of the Board of Trade who will wait upon the government and ask for a veto of the legislation which is declared to be un-British. In Ontario a man may sell goods without a license and still have a standing in the court. This is denied by British Columbia law. When the fool has been parted from his money he joins the great army that blame their impecuniosity on the provident people. New designs. Every one modish and smart looking.

C. It drew attention to an enclosed letter addressed to the mayor and council outlining the plans of the bureau, and asked that the board lend its influence with the council that Prince Rupert might have proper representation in the work.of the bureau. The letter to the council states that the bureau is to disseminate among the people of the United States accurate in formation relative to the opportunities for investment and settlement in the towns and cities of the Canadian West from the Lakes to the Pacific. It is proposed to establish and maintain in Washington a central exhibition bureau, where visitors may obtain without charge reliable information about all phases of the rapid development of the western country, and it will also maintain a publicity bureau which will supply to correspondents news and news feature articles bearing upon the great progress in Western Canada. ^T At present it is estimated that the annual expense will be about $10,000, It is planned to support the bureau and defray this expense through annual subscriptions by the larger municipalities of which about seventy-five are being asked to subscribe to this fund in amounts varying according to population. Any municipality so in co-operation will share fully in the benefits of the bureau Prince Rupert's share on this basis is placed at $500, and the council is asked to subscribe that amount. It is understood there will be no other charges in connection with the bureau, and that all in formation and services rendered by the bureau will be free of charge. After a brief discussion by members of the board the secretary was instructed to acknowledge the receipt of the letter and to inform the promoters of the proposed bureau that their request would be compiled with and the matter brought to the attention of the council by representatives of the board.

Letters to the Editor .SOMETHING FROM STEWART The Editor the Optimist: Dear Sir,���My attention has been drawn to an article in your issue on July 4th, which I consider is entirely wrong and uncalled for, more especially by you* paper which a short time ago sent a special representative to Stewart asking the support of the leading business men of Stewart to get up an edition of your paper���for the express purpose as your representative stated of 'boosting' this town and district. Now so far as the mining interests of the Portland Canal are concerned, neither the editor of your paper or any member of the staff is in a position to make a statement, and especially such a one, as was made in that article. I repeat: "Every mine there is still a prospect, and until ore shipments are made there can .be only prospects." Then you class the Portland Canal mine, that on the authority of its management has a million dollars worth of ore actually blocked out and ready for treatment, as a prospect? and butt up against the opinions of H. E. Knobel, W. J. Elmendorf, T. J. Vaughn-Rhys, T. Moore Fletcher and other well known authorities and conclude by that article that D. D. Mann and his associates are investing hundreds and thousands of dollars in something "that is still unknown". Your remarks regarding the local stocks and real estate situation are so nonsensical as to require no further comment. Once before I wrote you to ask the people of Prince Rupert not to knock, and if you can't 'boost' Mr. Editor, please don't be a 'knocker'. What about your wholesale houses? Yours truly, HARRY SMITH. The article which Mr. Smith alluded to was a criticism of an extravagrant article which appeared in a Toronto paper and similar articles in many other distant papers which will do Stewart more harm than good. The comment was quite in keeping with the expressed opinion of some of the most reliable men interested in Stewart. The Optimist has not now nor ever had any desire to set its opinion on mines up against mining engineers but the world judges a mine by its smelter returns or by the gold products from placer returns. If it is "knocking" to let the public know that it is too early to expect these returns then The Optimist desires to plead guilty. This paper has always had great faith in Stewart as every reader knows but it is not necessarily loosing that faith by stating a few facts to correct false reports sent abroad. Having got rid of his "roast" doubtless Mr. Smith can read the article in a calmer spirit and see the justice of it.���Editor Optimist Simon's Fair for Kitchenware.

Gamble Notary Public J , \ [ THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST PRINCE RUPERT'S BUDGET DEBATE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 of that official. That would save so much money. He said he did not want to be a kicker, but the salary list in this city was enough to scare him. There was not a city in the country of the same population with the salary list that Prince Rupert has. He would protest right now. He thought that the officials should be doubled up. Aid. Mobley moved that the report to be adopted and that the rate be 15 mills flat. Aid. Lynch seconded the motion. Aid. Naden in speaking to the motion pointed out that only $10,000 was to be raised by the residents over and above the land tax, while the outside people are compelled to pay practically the whole thing. This is going to have a very depressing effect upon the real estate values and the assessment next year will be ridiculously low. He said cut down the 15 mill rate a little and place more taxes upon the people living here. He wished to give a note of warning that the effect would be very bad. Outsiders Should Help Aid. Pattullo supported the report and the rate. He thought that the people living here had borne their share of taxes already. They have had to go down in their pockets many times for large sums of money for the good of the city. It is up to the outsiders to come in here and help build up this city. Those people have done nothing yet but take the profits. Aid. Mobley supported Aid. Pattullo's statement and said that if anyone should pay taxes it is the outside speculator. Aid. Lynch could not see very clearly how the rise and fall in the price of real estate would effect the prosperity of the city very materially. It was the natural resources of the community that effected the prosperity of the cky. Aid. Naden claimed that the value of real estate did very very materially effect the prosperity of the city. If land values go down the assessment goes down, also the revenue. Mayor Stork expressed himself along economical lines. Satisfied With Glory Aid. Naden then suggested that the salary of the eight aldermen which amounted to $3,200 be cut off and that they work for the first six months free and for glory. He also suggested that every official be cut off who was not absolutely required. Cutt off the fixed salaries. Do all the work on the streets possible, but cut out the salaried servants. Aid. Smith believed that the council should not go too fast in striking the rate. He thought it might be well to wait for a day dr two and go carefully over the rate and see if it could bot be cut down. He would not like to see- the price of real estate effected. He would not say that he was opposed to the 15 mill rate but he would like to have more time to consider the estimates. Aid. Barrow agreed with alderman Naden that the aldermen's salary should be cut off. He thought the council should report progress tonight and take a little time to think the matter over. Aid. Smith said he did not want any salary this year. He always felt that he would give his services to the city. Aid. Pattullo said he did not think that the aldermen should make martyrs of themselves by spending all their time in the services of the city and spend their own money for the same purpose. A great portion of their time and energy was spent for the benefit of the outsiders whom Aid. Naden had referred to and those outsiders should pay for it. On the salary question Aid. Mobley and Aid. Lynch did not propose to be free servants. If the money Vas to go to any benevolent scheme Aid. Mobley would willingly contribute his salary, but he wanted his salary and also the fun of giving it away. Aid. Mobley and Aid. Lynch consented to withdraw their motion to adopt the report and let the matter stand over for a time. This was finally decided upon and the committee reported progress. WAY TO SEE THINGS Philosophic Editor Miner Gives a of Ketchikan Lesson. A Ketchikan woman told a friend of our's that this newspaper was an awful liar. She said that we bragged too much about the scenery and the sunshine; that our fish stories were whoppers and that we didn't know chalcopyrite from bull quartz. The lady is entitled to another guess. This paper is just as truthful as the exigencies of the occasion require. We don't pretend to clothe all the fitful offsprings of our brain with the dull colors of demonstrable facts without other ornamentation. If we tack on a few hours to the caressing sunbeam, and luster it with a fancy shimmer not its own, we are not less truthful because she does not see it that way. The coloring of a crimson rose is in the beholder's eye, and not in the embracing folds of the petal. So with the length of some of ou fish. The eye which measures them is the true and supreme court of authority and it is from this standpoint that estimates of their length are taken. Get in love with your surroundings, then these things you read in the Miner will be as true to you as they are to us. AIRSHIPS FOR FORT GEORGE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 of a similar airship service in Central British Columbia. If satisfactory arrangements can be made, the inauguration of aerial communication between Fort George and Ashcroft may be brought about before the advent of winter, or by next spring at latest. The German Airship Service covers a route 300 miles in length and the diirgible employed is stated to be able to travel 700 miles without a stop. The speed on the first trip averaged almost 35 miles an hour, or better than that of the ordinary passenger train on many western railways. The lifting capacity was twenty-two tons, while with twenty passengers the total weight of the load carried was only five tons and a half, this including the weight of the restaurant car and other equipment designed for the comfort of passengers. Such an airship might easily be operated from points on the mainland to the Cariboo, the Chilcotin or Fort George. If two or three stops were made on the way at bases like Quesnel, it would not be necessary to go more than one hundred miles at a single flight en route from Ashcroft to Fort George and vice versa. The time required would be much less and the comfort much greater than by stage, horse, or automobile. You may keep the church out of politics, but it is hard to keep politics out of churches.

Grain Exchange Now Possessed by More Optimistic Feeling. (Special to the Optimist) Winnipeg, July 12.���The recent rains have caused a more optimistic feeling on the grain exchange and it is now admitted that the crop will not be so very bad after all the misgivings on the subject.
