ALONG RAILWAY GRADE Grand Trunk Pacific Expert Tells of the Wonderful Mineral and Agricultural Resources Lying Between Here and Edmonton.���Scenes on the Skeena and In the Harbor. Ik Mayor stated at last night's City I Cwucil meeting that his attention had J p called to the lack of a water main j on Ninth avenue. He thought that the Fire and Water Committee should look I into this matter. Aid. Mobley said that some time ago he had broached this matter with ueveral of the citizens concerned giving them to understand that if they would eiprass their willingness to have the water led into their houses from the main and to pay for it, the city would no doubt put in a main along Ninth avenue. Aid. Hilditch was of the opinion that these citizens were entitled to a water supply here as much as the citizens in any other part of the city. Aid. Mobley pointed out that they had taken no steps to show that they were ready to lead the water from a main to imir homes, and pay rates for it. He thought that if they wanted the water main very badly they would have done this. The city engineer would put in free stand pipes, but not free water to houses. Still there was no reason why the citizens should not have water if they were ready to have it led to their houses from the main and to pay water rates, and the city would at once see to the laying of a main wherever the citizens were so willing. Aid. Hilditch thought that if the main were laid the citizens here would soon take advantage of it, and have connections made with their houses, and Aid. Patullo mentioned that this whole water question would shortly need to be gone into closely for the whole city the city ought to be getting more revenue Irom the water supply than it was jetting at present. The Mayor thought the matter could be referred meanwhile to the Fire and | Water Committee. Aid. Hilditch speaking in a manner on behalf of the citizens for whom this new main is proposed showed by the ���sample of his own position in regard to wter supply, that the citizens might * really very much benefitted by the Placing of a main. "I am very anxious * net wa er supply into my own house," mm. Hilditch. "To do this I have Wit of all to get a permit to lead water nwn the main on Sixth avenue and then 1 havi' t0 'ay out and connect a pipe "t my own expense for a distance of ���lout 600 feet. People who are willing 0 8o to a reasonable expense to secure Wl"er in their homes are not so ready ? m��� a heavi<* outlay, and yet water a thing that everybody needs."

The *s Ers- ,or this Btreet had 'Z the sxtra 8��ppiy ��- 10r during the shortage by the The magnificent scenery of the Skeena river and of the surroundings of this splendid harbor will undoubtedly be well advertized both in faithful pictures and in glowing words during the winter, and the result must necessarily be a multitude of tourists next spring and summer that will tax the accommodation of all the existing hotels and the many projected. All summer long the wealthy people touring Europe made the famous exhibition at Brussels an objective point, and were there thrilled into admiration by the masterly oil paintings of the Skeena made by Home Russell of Montreal, last year. The Allan Steamship company will during the winter show all over Europe and this continent the moving picture of the Skeena made by their artists but a few weeks ago, and there have been other artists and tourists making pictures and writing illustrated articles. In addition we have such eloquent word wielders as Sir George Doughty, James Carruthers, D'Arcy Tate, the leading officials of the railway, the silver-haored and silver- tongued Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his party and a whole host of others. Home Russell was here again but a few days ago and said in the Optimist that although he had travelled in search of scenery over three parts of the world he had seen none that was superior to that of the Skeena. Unfortunately he was unable to pursue his studies on thiB occasion. The hardships of the long mush from Edmonton had proved a little too strenuous for even so re- doutable a globe trotter, and while here he was confined to his room with rheumatism. But we still have with us R. C. Lett, colonization agent of the Grand Trunk Pacific, who had charge of the exploration party from Edmonton of artists and writers part of which recently landed here. Mr. Lett was to leave with the rest but he felt that he could not tare himself away from such scenery. No sooner had he captured one gorgeous picture but another presented itself, until his collection of plates of this vicinity alone runs into the hundreds. Two days he spent with General Superintendent, Mehan, taking pictures along the line from here to the end of steel; yesterday he had Mr. Mehan's motor boat getting views of the harbor and the neighboring islands. He visited {-lovely Metlakatla and expressed the surprise all of us have expressed at some time of leaving dull skies and in the course of the four miles coming suddenly into sylvan scenes flooded with susnhine. Mr. Lett has also taken views of the city from Acropolis hill and other points of vantage, and leaves on the Prince .

At last night's City Council meeting in reference to the grading of Section 1, it was moved by Aid. Patullo that the City Engineer be authorized to advertize thusiasm. He also has travelled much now for tenders for these works, and yet has seen no scenery to be cornpared with that of the Skeena. Speaking last night of his long trip with the exploration party from Edmonton, which was put in the field by H. R. Charlton, general advertising agent of the Grand Trunk Pacific, Mr. Lett said its object was to describe and illustrate the resources along the whole lins, so as to be able to show the opportunities for colonization and individual investemnt in minerals, timber, and the various classes of agriculture. It was to obtain full information of the country through which this part of the transcontinental line passes, to form a reliable compendium each point of which is to have its accompanying illustrations to explain it. The party started from Edmonton, where it was outfitted, with thirty pack animals, three packers and a cook. They carried sufficient provisions for two or three weeks to be used for side ex* CONTINUED ON PAGE 5 MUST REMOVE OR BE REMOVED OWNERS OF SHACKS ON STREET S AND LANES WARNED OFF Street Committee's Report on the Matter Approved, also Reports on Other Matters Including Grading of Third Avenue. 'CONTINUED ON PAGE 6.) The Streets Works and Property Committee presented a number of reports to the City Council last night. The committee cquld not report in favor of granting Isabel Irvin Perks the reinburaement for which she petitioned. A recommendation in favor of the printing of the various city by-laws affecting builders' estimates and other works of this nature was made, and it was suggested by the committee that the other committees should have the by-laws affecting their departments printed also at the same time to reduce expense. It was pointed out that time was lost, and inconvenience caused to contractors owing to the difficulty of consulting the by-laws in their present form. This proposal was regarded favorably by the Council, and the matter of printing of by-laws will be gone into. The Streets Committee also reported regarding the removal of shacks and such buildings from positions on the streets and lanes where they were a source of fire riBk and inconvenience to the fire department. Notices, according to the report, have already been served upon the owners of such buildings for some time requiring them to remove, but these have not been enforced. It was recommended that the City Clerk be now instructed to write to the occupants of these buildings imforming them that at the expiration of six days the buildings would be removed by the city if not already removed by their owners. Aid. Hilditch thought six days was rather short notice, but it was pointed out that the notices had been served already for a considerable time. Aid. Mobley remarked that of course it would be impossible for some people to get off in the six days, but if the prospect of the city's undertaking the nummary tearing down of the buildings were in sight they might begin to think about removing, and perhaps in about a year they would be off the place. (Laughter.) The report was adopted. The committee's report recommending that the City Engineer's advice regarding the alteration where feasible, "of the grade of Third avenue be acted upon was also adopted; and the same was done in regard to the petition for grading of Sixth avenue between Fulton street and Summit avenue. TO BUY LOTS FOR LIGHTING SITE UNANIMOUS CITY RESOLUTION COUNCIL BY MET DEATH BY MISADVENTURE JURY'S FINDING IN INQUEST ON CHARLES DAYLEY Evidence that Deceased Was Intoxicated���Jury Recommend that Perilous Plankway Be Closed��� Funeral of Victim. Lots Are Well situated and Suitable For the Purpose in View���Their Price Is $5000 Each. Advantageous Purchase for City. At the City Council last night a resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to take the necessary steps to effect the purchase of Lots 44 and 45, Block 17, Section One for a Bite for the City Lighting Plant, was passed without discussion on the recommendation of the Telephone and Lighting Committee. The price of the lots is $6000 each. These lots have been carefully selected as the most suitable for the purpose in view, and the Mayor and aldermen were unanimously resolved that the purchase would be an advantageous one for the city. The adjourned inquest on the body of Charles Dayley who met his death from concussion of the brain caused by a fall from a plankway across the creek in the lane between First and Second avenues not far from the Grand and Dominion hotels, was continued at 8 o'clock last night. For fully an hour previous to Day ley's fall he had been seen by no one, but Sergeant Regan, of the city police force, testified to having seen Dayley in the neighborhood of First avenue and Eighth street on the night of the accident, Dayley was then evidently intoxicated and was warned by Sergeant Regan. Deceased's movements after that were not definitely witnessed by any one, but the crash of his fall was heard after 1 a.m., in the 22nd inst., from the veranda of the Grand Hotel, and H Hegarty told how Dayley had been found in the little creek, having evidently failed head first a distance of some ten or twelve feet. The bottom of the creek was rocky and Dayley's head was badly cut. He was unconscious. Witness described the man's removal to a shack on Eighth street, and Dr. Tremayne gave medical evidence as to Dayley's injuries, removal to the police station and hospital and subsequent death. The following is the verdict: We, the Jury, find; That the deceased Charles Dayley met his death on the morning of September, the 22nd, by misadventure through falling off a The motion was carried and the date October 19th was suggested as a suitable one to fix for the closing da*.;! for receiving of tenders by the Cfiy Clerk up to the hour of twelve noon on that day. In connection with these contracts the Streets Committee have framed and presented te> the City Council a report affecting the contract conditions, the following points being specially emphasized: The Committee recommended that the word "Rock" be understood to mean all rocks in masses exceeding 13 cubic feet in size. The minimum rate of pay tor labor is recommended to be fixed at 37 1-2 cents per hour. The following clauses are recommended to be inserted in the contracts: A clause prohibiting men from being employed for' more than^ eight hours per day. A clause prohibiting Sunday labor. A clause requiring the contractor to pay the men fortnightly and to produce receipted pay rolls up to the time estimate is made. This report was approved by the City Council. Aid. Hilditch refened to'Uhe matter of the labor dispute in connection with the grading of Second avenue, and the Mayor said that he had looked into the matter and found that S. P. MeMordie was within his rights in the matter, but that the situation would right itself very soon as the days were shortening and a ten hour day would soon be impracticable, and even an eight hour day difficult to complete. It was entirely optional with the men whether they chose to work overtime on not. Aid. Hilditch: "Does that refer to the new gang or the old?" The Mayor: "I have not gone into that point regarding the dispute." temporary sidewalk situated in the lane between First and Second avenues. We recommend that the thoroughfare be either closed by the city or made secure for pedestrians.���Signed by Geo. Leek, Foreman of Jury, five jurymen, and Coroner McMullin.

The entries for the big classics of 1912 are published and His Majesty has entered animals freely, which may be accepted as a sign that he will soon follow turf affairs as his father did, and it goes almost without saying that a victory for the royal colors either at Epsom or Don- caster would be hailed with the greatest delight. In the Derby the king has made five entries, and an equal number have had the first forfeit paid in the Oaks and St. Leger. King George became a member of the Jockey Club so long ago as 1894. He has been a frequent visitor to Newmarket, Ascot and Goodwood, and he was present on each of the memorable occasions when King Edward won the Derby. His Majesty has of late years been a breeder of blood stock on a small scale. The king has also graciously consented to become patron of the amateur football association, and, in fact, for every branch of sport he has at one time or another shown that he has a liking. He is particularly fond of gun and rifle, and few men of his age have had more variety of sport. He SAMUEL MAY&CO, BILLIARD TABLE MANUFACTURERS. Established u Forty Years.

Mayor Stork has interested himself in a quiet way with the work, and Ensign Johnstone much appreciates this. It is Ensign Johnstone's intention to prosecute with the utmost vigor all branches of Salvation Army work in the city, but first and foremost he wishes it to be distinctly understood that he is here to help wherever he can help anyone in need of assistance regardless of creed, denomination or nationality. Ensign Johnstone will endeavor to meet the needs of the men who may need his assistance, and the Ensign wishes it known that Mrs. Johnstone and Lieutenant Wright are at the service of the women members of the community, ready to help them at all times of need. Already Ensign Johnstone has found occasion to be of material aid in the city. Progress with the preparation Of the site for the new Salvation Army Citadel at the head of Sixth street is rapid. The lots are being cleared and levelled for the building. Ensign Johnstone has ordered chairs in advance of the erection of the hall, from a firm in this city, so that there may be no delay in starting up meetings once the hall is ready. The Salvation Army Conference takes place in the course of the next ten days at Vancouver, and it is probable that Ensign Johnstone will go. south to take part in it. He will probably be accompanied by Captain Kerr. The ranks of the Salvation Army in Prince Rupert are likely to be reinforced shortly by the advent to the city of several enthusiastic and experienced permanent members. B.C.

Thursday, Sept. 29 THE LICENSE LAW According to some of the party press in the Province Attorney General Bowser has at last turned out something good���the new license law. Of course there are some who claim no license law is good, but even they, on making a choice of evils, will probably admit that the new act shows traces of virtue. Just how it will work in this city is speculative at the present time, for licenses are new and we are a long way from the Attorney-General's secret service department. The Victoria Colonist says of the new act: "Advices from all parts of the province are to the effect that the new license law is working very well���perhaps just a little too well to suit certain people. The Attorney-General set himself to work to prepare a measure that would prevent as far as possible the abuses which are inseparable from the sale of ihtoxicating liquors at drinking places, and he has succeeded to a degree that has elicited warm words of approval from those who are able to take a dispassionate view of the subject. But he realized that something more than a drastic statute was necessary. No law will enforce itself and public opinion on the liquor traffic has not reached that stage that private individuals care to be mixed up in prosecutions for illegal sales or other violations of the statute. Therefore the responsibility for the enforcement of the law was properly assumed by the Provincial Police and very excellent work is being done in that direction . The people of British Columbia now realize that Mr. Bowser was in earnest when he said that he would prepare a far-reaching license law and see that it was enforced." The Alfy organ is indeed fortunate that there is no penalty for working off a rotten newspaper on the public. Good civic administration cannot be expected from a bad system. If you had a million dollar business would you run it on the village council plan? The financial journals are discussing the cause of the increased amount of British capital being invested in outside securities. Prince Rupert is chiefly interested in how much of it is coming here.

NEED CITY POLICE PREMISES Preaent Premises Must Soon 3e Vacated. Temporary Station. Prince Rupert as a city has no jail or police station of its own, the premises at present occupied belonging to the Provincial Goverment officers and police. At last night's City Council the Mayor stated that until arrangements were concluded with the G. T. P. for a site for the city police offices and jail, he had rented the house formerly occupied by Mr. Davis, in the rear of the Provincial Buildings for $15 per month, to be used as a temporary police station. No doubt the Government cells will still be available for some time for the accommodation of delinquents. W. W. Leach on Silver Cup Mr. W. W. Leach, Dominion Government Geologist, is probably as well posted in all matters pertaining to,.he development and successful operation of mining properties as any man in the Dominion of Canada, in his recent report concerning mineral developmet in northern British Columbia he accords Silver Cup his highest endorsement, such a favorable report from an engineer of such wide experience and prominence as Mr. Leach is regarded as conclusive evidence of a rich and valuable mining property. An official in the employ of the Canadian Mining and Smelting company recently made an exhaustive examination of the Silver Cup ore bodies. His assays gave returns of slightly better than $100 per ton in silver and lead, his report concerning the continuity of the ore bodies was unqualifiedly favorable and strongly of the opinion that the property is one of exceptional merit and great promise. Since Mr. Leach visited the property a tunnel of 200 feet in length has been driven on the ore and developed about 225 feet of vertical bucks the ore has increased in quantity with depth and the high values have maintained.

Box 22 PRINCE RUPERT i y\\\mmmmwWmm\--mmw^^ ���TRIP ALONG THE RAILWAY GRADE CONTINUED PROM PAGE 1 Icursions, depending mainly on the engineering camps they would come across from day to day. As a general the grade was followed closely, In that the results of the trip would be i true representation of what could be seen from the railway when it is ih operation. There were dangers on the trip, of I course, the most important of which were in the fording of the rivers. At tie time of the journey the waters were t their highest, owing to the warm |��ather of the end of June and the .{inning of July melting the glaciers. |This would cause the rivers to rise as much as a foot during the afternoon, 1 come swirling down with mighty force. The cold nights arrested the and the waters would fall or un at about a stationary stage 1 nearly noon of the next day. The ty, therefore, had to choose the .logical moment at which' to To do this necessitated some ���g, as a day's march was reckoned mn point to point where feeding for Jae homes was likely to be found. One difficulty in these crossings was "th the large cameras, weighing three "'���J~ ' pounds some of them. If a went down with such an outfit : m the end of it, and probably I* horse- too* But the latter point F immaterial in comparison with the ^m by water of the costly ap- ffoeat care had to be exercised in the PWng of data so that no time should ? wasted on inconsequentials and yet Rj�� emgle important feature over- g* On the Pembina river a coal J on the west bank was discovered a$L?S fMt thick' Thfa wa8 ���f tomphed samples taken of it, and | WWphtad situation, its extent m ��>e geological features of the Nj all carefully noted down.

""Car P��lnt8 WCT�� ^t overlooked > CSTS"of great ���*�����*�� I" *e neifhL l 6 days were sPent the'old Hud��rh����d ��f Ja��Per House, SC,.1^ P"t. and the theNwi2tthTirhepost��f rur Trading company, the great competitor of the gentlemen adventurers of the Hudson's Bay company. Pictures were taken of the ruins of these two landmarks of the wilderness, and the historical data obtained was not without interest, Tete Jaune Cache and Yellowhead Pass being geogeaph|cal terms now on the tip of the tongue of the reading world. The fust, factor of this Hudson's Bay trading post was named Jasper Hawes, a Scotchman. In tho course of time the name got corrupted into Howes, and later into House. Thus the name of Jasper House. Jasper was a big burly fellow with light auburn hair and beard, both worn long. The voyageurs called him Tete Jaune, and the Indians in their tongue made it Yellowhead. This is how we get sush important geographical names as Tete Jaune Cache, which may some time soon be the site of a great interior city, and the fanous name of Yellowhead Pass. Mr. Lett says thiB pass through the Rockies of which the members of his exploration party had read so much, was something of a disappointment to them in one way. They expected to climb up to a narrow gorge and struggle along a rock strewn trail between precipitous walls showing the sky through a narrow slit. "Whoa," cried Mr. Lett, bringing his party to a sudden halt. "We are on the other side of the Rockies now; how do you like it?" "Through the Rockies! But where's the pass?" they asked. "Just passed through it," was the laughing reply. This pass through the mountain chain which forms the backbone of the continent, explained Mr. Lett, is as level as a floor for one thousand feet, and the railway grade there is only four-tenths of one per cent. Talking of this started Mr. Lett's enthusiasm. "Our railway grade through the Rockies," he remarked, "is but twenty- six feet to the mile. I could tell you what the grades are on other railways, but look it up for yourself. With such a railway grade we can haul a trainload of wheat all the way from the prairies to the seaboard at Prince Rupert with one locomotive. And what quantities of wheat we shall have to haull Saskatchewan, now the great wheat producing province, has today less than three per cent of its lands under cultivation, and it has a territory of two hundred and fifty thousand square miles. How much wheat will that province be raising when it has twenty- five per cent of its land under cultivation? And a very large percentage of this enormous- harvest will have to be shipped westward." Getting back to the incidents on the trip, Mr. Lett mentioned a stop that was made at the Miette river, where the road branches to the west from the Athabaska river toward Yelllowhead Pass. "There is a very swift place to ford at this point," said Mr. Lett, "and I took the lead. Halfway across the water began to be deep a. well as swift, and I waved to tho e following to keep up. 1 noticed a large spruce reaching over the water, and anyone acquainted with fording knows he must avoid an obstruction of that' kind or he may become entangled in the branches. "Soon after, and just as I was getting to dry land I heard a shout and looking back saw one of my party clinging to the tree, having been swept from the saddle, I supposed. His horse was standing about four feet away, evidently bewildered. As he clung the swift current carried the man's legs right under the tree, the toes almost sticking up. I rushed to the tree and climbed out well over him. He was afraid the tree* would break with the weight of both of us, because he was what you may call a tenderfoot. I gave a vigorous tug at him but failed to haul him out. He explained that his clothes had become entangled in a broken branch. But I managed to land-him, all right. "One poinUn regard to this is perhaps worth mentioning. Before leaving London he had been examined by a physician, who had said if he should get a spill into the water it was liable to prove fatal because of heart trouble. This was glacier water, and. we could not very well make a fire, so I told him to walk and let his clothes dry on him. He did so and was none the worse when we reached camp. "Seems to me these London doctors are very ignorant of the effects of Canadian waters," he observed. "We had another incident that was thrilling at the moment. The horse of one of the party took the bit in his teeth and stampdeed. I saw the animal burst through the bushes on his headlong career and go over a cilff. The man's sombero was tied to the rear of the saddle and as it flew out I thought the man had gone over too, and it horrified me a little. But a low branch had swept him off and saved his life." Not many such stories has Mr. Lett to tell, as with him such incidents are merely a part of the day's work; but as to the recources of the country through which he passed on the trip he is a whole mine of solid information. He can pick up a piece of rock while talking and tell its genesis and the particular stratification it comes from. It starts him on another tack of enthusiasm. The country is to him full of mineral wealth. We have not nearly enough prospectors, he declares; but rich finds and easier means of ingress to the mineral zone will remedy that, and the richest finds, in his opinion, are yet to be made. In this respect Mr. Lett is an authority, as it was largely due to his explorations that the Gowganda country was opened up. "Along the Fraser river almost every stream from the north carries gold," he observes. "Colors are found everywhere, and there is also plenty of silver- lead ore, copper and some free-milling gold quartz. The Telkwa and Babine ranges are already coming to the front as good mining propositions. I brought out with me many samples of silver- lead and copper ores, calculated to assay well. All the Skeena basin is well mineralized, but in regard to all these places there is the difficulty of getting material into the country. If a man gets in, a few drills and some sticks of dynamite he thinks he is doing pretty well. But as fast as the railway reaches those points there is certain to be a rapid jump in their development. I feel pretty confident there will be producing mines all along the Skeena in a very few years. \ "And just think what a market these growing mining camps will make for the farmer. The land on this side is better suited for mixed fzrming and dairying than for cereals, and there is also abundance of fruit lands. There is no country in tke world to be compared for richness of resources with this new empire the railway is opening up." Mr. Lett harked back to tell of the discovery of a pretty lake in the shadow of Mount Robson that was discovered and named Lake Helena, and the difficulty of cutting a trail through the dense forest foliage to it. The company will have trails to all,such scenic points, he says, for the benefit of the tourists. He also believes big game hunters from all parts of the world will come to the neighborhood of. Mount Robson to hunt when once they are posted on the game of the country. Everywhere, he says, is there not only evidence of its being a good game country but the Indians of'that part are the most improvident and wanton destroyers of game to be found anywhere. . ' Going back to prospectors he said that at Moberley house, just back of Jasper House, they met two prospectors who were very mysterious as to what they were after. A couple of weeks later the two mwn crossed their trail again and said they had not found what they were looking after. But one of the packers knew. He said they were after a band of wild horses. It seems there are a number of such herds. Men go out and capture them on the rich grass, break them in and sell them for good prices. "We met with all kinds of prospectors, of course," said Mr. Lett, "but that was the first time I had run across horse prospectors." WATER MAINS WHERE WANTED CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 City Engineer and Aid. Mclntyre thought a new pipe should be ordered and put in. He suggested that the Mayor himself would keenly appreciate the fire risk to his own property in this congested neighborhood. The Mayor: "I have got beyond feeling in that respect now." Aid. Mobley pointed out that the 2-inch main referred to by Aid. Mclntyre was not the only protection against fire in this district. Three separate lines of hose could be led to any point on Sixth street or adjoining it with a water supply of high pressure water more than equal to that given by a aS-inch main on Sixth street. Of course if .a 6-inch main were laid on Sixth street it would enable two hose lines to be connected, if need arose, to the 6-inch main which would be an advantage. The Mayor, in reference to this matter of the water piping of the city, and the putting in of permanent pipes before the permanent grading was done, said that the City Engineer was going into this matter of the pipes, and as the Mayor understood was not much in favor of the wire bound wood stave pipes for the city's permanent water supply. He thought the matter should have further consideration. Police Magistrate'* Request Granted City Police Magistrate, A. Carss, in a letter to the City Council read by tha Clerk last night stated that a conviction made by him recently of a personage on one of the steamboats had been quashed on the ground that the steamer was not within the city bounds at the time of the man's offence. The Magistrate requested that he be supplied with accurate maps of the city and harbor with boundaries marked, also copies of the city by-laws in reference to police court proceedings, and further with a copy of the latest work on the subject, namely, "Crankshaw on the Criminal Code." On the motion of Aid. Patullo it was agreed to grant the Magistrate's request. ' ^fl See the flickerless motion pictures��� the silent drama���at the Phenix theatre.

AVENGED THE WIFEMURDER ARMENIAN HUSBAND TAKES LAW IN HIS OWN HANDS Slaya One Man and Wounda Another in Revenge for the Murder of Hii Wife���Tracked the Two Men A- cross the Ocean. Lowell, Mass., Sept. 25.���After a sharp pistol battle on the steps of the post office building today while a crowd was passing in the streest, Bogos Matsukian, Armenian, who slew one of his countrymen and wounded another, told the police his act was one of vengeance. He killed Mohammed Ahmad and fatally wounded Ahmed Noory. Noory and Ahmed fled from Armenia to America, Matsukian declared, after they had murdered his wife there. He slew them to avenge her death. Taken to jail the Armenian calmly lit a cigarette and told his story to the police. "They killed her, my wife," he said. "I killed them. 'Tis well. I am glad. I knew both men in Armenia. They visited my house there. I supposed them friends. "During the recent massacres I was compelled to flee to America. Then my countrymen told me these men maltreated my wife and murdered her. I swore I would kill them if we ever met. They came here not knowing I was here. I met, I killed one, and the other dog will die. They got what they had earned. The authorities can do with me as they like. I am satisfied. My honor is avenged." Noory regained consciousness after the shooting . He said he had not killed Mrs. Matsukian.

What does the editor of the Empire know of them? Philadelphia, U. S. A., was founded by a Quaker in 1680. There was established the first paper mill, the first type foundry, the first insurance company, the first bank, and the first medical school in the colonies though New York and Jamestown had been settled more than half a century earlier. Quakers both in England and on the Continent have an enviable record both in municipal administration and in commercial activities. It would be no detriment to the city aldermen were they to carry on their deliberations with foresight, method and sound judgment "like a lot of Quakers." Perhaps that Editor will someday visit a Quaker's business meeting and judge of their methods of procedure for himself���perhaps he might apologize for his disparaging remark. Because Quakers believe in the "Inner Light" they do not therefore dispense with adequate external lighting of their own homes or of their own cities where they have control of city affairs. Also there is nothing antagonistic in the tenets of the Quakers to those of the Salvation Army���one may be demonstrative with "flute, harp, sackbutt," etc., and the other silent and retiring��� but extremes meet, and in the populous districts of many cities the two are found working hand in glove together. More About Licenses To the Editor of the Optimist: Sir,���I notice in last night's edition of your paper a wail from a gentleman who uses a siganture which the majority of us must take on trust, as he has not been kind enough to furnish us with a translation. Stripped of rhetoric his claim seems to be that there is more drunkenness in Prince Rupert at the present time than there was before the granting , of licenses. Whether or not this is the i case I am not prepared to say. It is ! quite possible that a good many of those j who now get drunk openly used to get j drunk secretly in their shacks and that I the difference is more apparent than real. ! But if the charge is true is it not a little I early to decry the license system and the j Provincial Liquor Law? Everyone knows ; that repressive measures always lead to a period of excess when the lid is taken off but things very soon get to a normal level, and this is happening in Prince Rupert at the present time. It is quite true that the new act prohibits the sale of liquor to an intoxicated man in a licensed bar but there are, unfortunately, still some of the "blind pigs" left over from the regime which our so-called temperance friends are so anxious to bring back. (In which endeavor they are enthusiastic- ly endorsed by the keepers of these "blind pigs.") I know of one instance in which a man got tanked up at one of these resorts and then went in to a licensed bar. Here he was refused a drink and staggered out and the passers- by of course jumped to the conclusion that he got his load in the hotel. Let us use a little common sense. We have a lot of working men in the city who would be rather out of place at a meeting of the W. C. T. U. and who are accustomed to spend their money as they see fit. If they sometimes get drunk in Prince Rupert it is only what they have done a score of times in Vancouver and Victoria without causing either of those cities to be visited with the doom of Sodom and Gomorrah. You can't make a man moral by building a fence around him and as long as these men have money in their pockets they are going to drink what they feel like drinking even if they have to go some where else to get it. Of course it might not be quite so offensive to our friend with the Latin signature if these men took the money they had earned in Prince Rupert and got drunk in Vancouver but I submit that they buy other things than booze in the town and the town needs their patronage. "COMMON SENSE." FURTHER FIRE PRECAUTIONS Widening of Plankway* and the House Moving Difficulty A recommendation from Fire Chief Mclnnes that the side walks on parts of Second avenue and elsewhere where necessary throughout the city, be widened sufficiently to let the hose reels and wagons pass along them in case of a fire, was discussed and approved. Aid. Hilditch wanted to know if the cost of this would be borne by the Local Improvement or General Fund. Aid. Mobley explained that the whole cost of widening these walks where necessary would be very trifling. The Mayor drew attention to the present condition of Second avenue under grading operations, and said it would be rather difficult to get the fire appliances to a fire in that neighborhood that way. Arrangements will be made to meet the difficulty. In this connection the matter of owners moving their buildings along the streets was suggested as a source of difficulty for the Fire Chief. Aid. Barrow thought that it should be compulsory on owners in such cases to keep their houses on the move till past the intersections of streets and not to leave them stationary at such points.
