She was completely unnerved by these demonstrations. Although she remained outwardly calm as the crowd hissed and threatened, when she entered the court room she became hysterical and the services of a doctor had to be summoned The police had to use their clubs on the crowd and had great difficulty in scattering them. The demonstration is supposed to be the result of the evidence at the last hearing given by Mrs. Jackson, a neighbor, who said Le Neve had told her she was waiting to step into Mrs. Crippen's shoes. Mr. Newton offered no defence when the crown completed its case this morning, explaining that he reserved the testimony on his side wutil the accused were placed on trial. Dr. Crippen and Miss Le Neve were then bound over for trial at the Central crimina. court in October.

Beverley, Mass., Sept. 19.���The publication of a story in certain newspapers, purporting to come from Beverley and announcing that President Taft has decided to step aside as a presidential candidate in 1912 to make way for Col onel Roosevelt, brought many inquiries to the summer capital today. It was decided not to dignify the story (which is reported to be without any foundation whatever with a statement. It can be stated that there has been no change in President Taft's attitude toward a second term since he told a number of friends a few months ago that he would accept a second nomination if his party desired it. The president, it is said, is not considering his chances for a second term one way or the other, at this time. WILL BUILD FINE NEW WAREHOUSES FIRMS OF STEWART & MOBLEY AND J. PIERCY MORRIS Arrangements and Plans Being Concluded For Mutual Erection By Above Firms of a Substantial Double Building. Fruit Trade Is Immense Vancouver, .Sept. 21.���(Special)���The fruit trade with the prairie provinces will be the greatest ever, and freighting facilities are taxed to their full capacity.

McMordie's Contracts in Full Swing The work of grading etc., begun by the city engineer on Second street, and S. P. MeMordie on Second avenue at the same point in Section 1 is proceeding apace. A big squad of men is engaged on Second avenue for Mr. MeMordie and the citizens owning property and occupying offices on this portion of the avenue are highly pleased to see the workmen so busy improving the district though they realize that for a time the operations will cause some slight inconvenience. ' It is expected that some 300 men will be engaged upon the work before long, and the work will be rapidly accomplished Work is also going ahead fast on S. H. Watson's grading contract on Second avenue beyond Lynch's comer. Mr. Watson has a big gang of men on and process of cutting down to grade the big hump of ground on the line of the avenue is in a progressive stage. A good deal of rock is being encountered and blasted. Another fine wholesale warehouse is projected for Prince Rupert on a site abiut 50 feet east of the new Kelly Douglas building. The promoters of the plan for this new structure are Messrs. Stewart and Mobley, and arrangements are practically concluded by which J. Piercy Morris and Co. will co-operate with them in the doubling of the design so that the warehouses of both firms will be side by side, similar in external design and size, and constructed simultaneously as if one large warehouse. The firms, however, will remain distinct, and the warehouses within will be separated by' partitions, and will be somewhat different in size as regards floor space owing to the nature of the sitesleased by the respective firms. The Piercy Morris warehouse warehouse will allow of the larger floor area about 11,500 squa4e feet as far as can be ascertained at the present stage of the plans which are not yet completed. The combined building will be 100 feet wide, 50 feet for each warehouse, and about 72 feet deep. It will be four storeys high on the waterfront side, and designed somewhat similarly to the warehouse at present under construction for the Kelly Douglas firm. On the First avenue side the building will be one story high. The warehouses will be solid structures plain and servicable throughout the interior with the exception of tbe office departments in each which will be finished and equipped in perfect modern style. Goods elevators will be installed in both firms' warehouses. The exterior of the building will be similar to that of the Kelly Douglas building, iron sheeted and substantial in appearance as well as ih fact. The architect to whom the design has been entrusted is G. L. Proctor whose familiarity with this class of building is extensive. So far the figures regarding the probable cost of the structure are not however, forthcoming.

FELL IN THE DARK SERIOUSLY HURT LONGSHOREMAN DALY TAKEN TO HOSPITAL Accident Occurred at 1:30 a.m. Today���Daly Has Concussion of the Brain. Need for City Light and an Ambulance Emphasized. PEOPLE'S HEADS WERE CUT OFF ALSO ARMS AND LEGS IN THE AWFUL SMASH Two Electric Cars Both Crowded With Sightseers For State Fair In Collision���Forty Were Killed and Only One Escaped Uninjured. An ugly accident occurred at 1:30 this morning to a longshoreman named Daly who was endeavoring to take a short cut across the creek at Eighth street. He stumbled in the darkness and pitching forward fell heavily some distance in the ditch below, the fall rendering him unconscious. John Goodman of the Grand Hotel whose attention was called to the accident, realizing that Daly was badly hurt, had him conveyed to a shack on Eighth street, and immediately telephoned to the police station. P. C. McArthur promptly arrived and sent for Dr. Tremayne who examined the injured man, and found him suffering from severe concussion of the brain and also a serious scalp wound. After receiving medical attention Daly was carried by Messrs. Cole, Blackie and Carmichael to the police station where a bed was made up for him in one of the cells. He remained in an unconscious condition while being moved, and this morning when Dr. Tremayne called to see him he was still unconscious. The doctor advised his removal to the G. T. P. Hospital, and Chief Constable McCarvell at once set about making arrangements for conveying him there. He at first thought that he might be taken by launch but later it was decided to hire H. Carney's light express wagon which was fitted with a stretcher and spring mattress to be used as an ambulance. At 11 a.m, today, Daly was taken to the hospital still unconscious, the stretcher on which he lay well wrapped in blankets being protected from the rain by canvas sheeting. The need for a proper ambulance wagon is, however, very clearly emphasized by the trouble necessary to procure the makeshift: and it is pretty evident that the new general hospital cannot be too soon completed; while the sooner the city lighting plant is ready the better.

Two crowded cars going to the state fair crashed into each other. At least forty were killed. Arms, legs and even heads of the killed were severed, so terrific was the shock. Of the fifty people in the cars only one escaped unhurt. The county, town and railway officials are holding an inquest today. The conductors of both cars were badly injured but they managed to crawl back and flag the Indianapolis limited, and thus saved another disaster. NOTABLE RETIREMENT Australian Railway Commissioner Could Not Stand Criticism Details Said By Authorities To Have Been Exaggerated (Special to the Optimist) Tokio, Slept. 22.���The details of the plot to assassinate the Mikado are said to be exaggerated. It is said the story arose from the arrests of Socialists three months ago who were found manufacturing bombs. This is the statement the authorities make for publication this morning. (Special to the Optimist) Melbourne, Sept. 22.���The retirement of Thomas Tait, commissioner of the Victoria state railways, is announced. Tait, who is a Canadian, was formerly secretary of the Canadian Pacific railway company. He organized the railways of Victoria and made them pay where they had been losing thousands daily. A recent chapter of fatal accidents has caused a great deal of criticism, which Taft has resented and he has resigned in consequence. WHITEHORSE NOW * SHIPPING ORE REGULAR SHIPMENTS TO THE TACOMA SMELTER Pueblo Mine Can Turn Out Two Hundred Tons Daily and Other Mines Will Begin���Ten Thousand Tons a Month the Estimate. Tacoma, Sept. 20.���The first shipments of copper ore to be shipped from the Pueblo mine near Whitehorse, Yukon, since that property passed into the hands of the Atlas Copper Company, which is controlled by W. D. Greenough of Spokane, will reach Tacoma today and tomorrow from Skagway on the freighters Santa Ana and Edith. The Pueblo mines, which have just been tapped by a recently constructed fourteen-mile spur of the White Pass & Yukon Railroad, have a present equipment capable of turning out over 200 tons of ore a day. At the Pueblo mine nearly 100,000 tons of the ore lies exposed, ready to be blasted and dumped into the cars. It will only be s short time before 2500 tons weekly will be sent down to Skagway. The steamships Edith, La Touche and Santa Ana will then make weekly trips to Skagway for this ore. This means a total shipment of over 10,000 tons each month. There are several more mines within a few miles of the Pueblo which the Atlas Company will develop as soon as the Pueblo mine returns a surplus sufficient to capitalize the new works, so that the total of 10,000 tons a month, which now seems assured, may be only a fraction of the ore that will come down at this time next year.

EMMERSON, Prince Rupert WRITERS AND ARTISTS HERE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 August 9th and took to the river in canoes, passing through lovely hills and prairie country on to Fort George- The distance is three hundred and fifty miles and the party made the distance in six and one-half days. Ten days were spent at Fort George and in its vicinity, the party on the go every day looking into the various interesting points already mapped out for them to visit or picked up in conversations with the pioneers. On the morning of August 19th the diamond hitch was again thrown over the backs of the pack animals and the trail was leisurely followed through the Nechaco valley and across she low divide into the Bulkley watershed. "This is a country," observes Mr. Talbot "that would delight the heart of the English farmer, and I believe, too, that he is calculated to be more successful there than the farmer of any other country, for certain reasons which I have not time to go into, but which are readily apparent to one who knows rural England and can compare it with these productive valleys." Mushing leaisurely through the Nechaco valley they picked up the telegraph trail at Tsinkut Lake, and followed that all the way to Hazel on, arriving there on September 15th. "We were very much impressed with the agricultural possibilities of the Nechaco and Bulk.ey valleys," remarked Mr. Talbot, "and we were also impressed with the number of settlers already there or going into these valleys. Most of the land in the Nechaco seems to be taken up and much of it already developed. "No, we met with no thrilling adventures and no particular hardships of any kind. One thing remarkable was that the weather, on the whole, was fine, which of course added much to the enjoyableness of the trip." Mr. Talbot leaves on the Prince Rupert returning direct to London; Mr. Lett will be here a few days. GOOD ADVT.

There are several more mines within a few miles of the Pueblo which the Atlas Company will develop as soon as the Pueblo mine returns a surplus sufficient to capitalize the new works, so that the total of 10,000 tons a month, which now seems assured, may be only a fraction of the ore that will come down at this time next year.

MORROW PROFESSOR BROCK TELLS HIS VERSION OF TRIP Declarea in Official Report There Are No Insurmountable Obstacle* to Navigation���They Generally Called It the Mediterranean. OFFERS FOR SALE Ottawa, Sept. 17���The secretary of state received today from Prof. R. W. Brock, who was with Earl Grey's party to the far north, an official mailed report giving a further account of the trip. More attention is paid to that part of the trip from Winnipeg to Norway House. There is a description of St. Andrew's locks and of Old Fort Garry, which his excellency suggests should be preserved by the nation as an historical monument. Mr. Geo. Grey, a cousin of his excellency, who was with the party, injured his leg while struggling with a pike, and was lame for trie rest of the journey. The more important portion of the report deals with the trip out from Churchill Harbor, which is described as a natural one, shut in by projecting rocky points. The run to the straits was without incident. On Monday, Aug. 27, the party left Burwell and steamed out into the Atlantic. On the Labrador coast stops were made at Okaka and Indian Harbor, one of the Grenfell missions. Prof. Brock concludes with some interesting comments as to the feasibility of the Hudson Bay. He says the trip through Hudson Bay and Hudson Straits was as pleasant as a summer sail on the Atlantic. One might have been cruising on the Solent. Certainly, if one did not know, he could never guess he was in what has been more or less popularly regarded as a Polar sea. "We fell into the habit of speaking of it as the Mediterranean. For three hundred years it has been frequented by ships of all descriptions, from pinnaces of twenty tons to men-of-war of seventy-four guns, and finally to the Earl Grey of two thousand five hundred tons. Eight hundred ships are reported to have entered these waters in addition to whalers who for many years have operated in the bay. "For 178 years Hudson Bay ships have come in without missing a year, said one. In the history of the bay and straits, with the large number of vessels that have entered���the vast majority sailing ships without auxiliary power to help them through ice, with no artificial aid to navigation, nor even detailed or accurate charts- only two vessels are reported having been lost. "When detailed charts are available, lights and wireless stations established, currents and magnetism carefully studied, and sailing masters are familiar with the route, the length of the saason of navigation may probably be lengthened beyond its present duration, which the consensus of opinion among those who have had experience in these waters places at three and a half to four months, from the middle of July to November. "There seems to be no inherent difficulties in the way of again utilizing, if necessary, the back door of Canada, through which, until the advent of railways, the trade of the west was conducted. It should be feasible to ship cattle of the west in modern steamships over the route, which in the tiny sailboats of the eighteenth century the court ladies of Louis XIV, could travel ���e excursions."

After returning from a visit to the properties R. P. Trimble of Portland, Ore., has bonded the two groups of claims located on Rocher de Boule mountain by W. S. Sargent and Colin Munroe for $65,000; two deals being made on the claims, one of the groups going for $40,000 and the other for $25,000. Business at home demands Mr. Trimble's attention and he left Friday morning for Portland, accompanied by W. J. Gearin, a son of ex- U. S. Senator Gearin of Oregon. If he is able to return in time this fall, work will be started and kept up all winter. If he is unable to do this operations will be delayed till next spring. New Strike Near Hazelton On the north side of the hill north of Hazelton, and not much more than four miles and a half from Hazelton, the claims recently located by Long, McBain and Latham are showing evidences of wealth that add materially to the prospects of the Hazelton district becoming a mining camp of the first rank. Although only staked within the last month, the locators have with great energy cut good trails to the various showings of ore and opened up the ledges in a number of places. The assayer's report on samples submitted has just been received and gives values running up as high as $146 per ton, and there is no doubt but that the claims have everything in sight that has returned high values on Nine- mile and Fourmile. The big ledge appears to be twenty- five or more feet in width and well mineralized. No boundary has yet been found. In several places ore has been uncovered in veins up to two feet pr more in width that has every appearance of high-grade rock, being galena with some gray copper and an occasional lump the size of a bean of the high grade silver mineral that has given such as tonishing values on Fourmile hill. Situated at an elevation of only a few hundred feet above the level of the Skeena, surface work can be continued until late in the fall. The wagon road north of town reaches a point within two miles of the claims and the Robinson lake trail almost touches the property. Another Babine Discovery Another strike of galena ore is reported this week and the samples brought into Hazelton by the locators look as fine as anything yet found in that line, says the Omineca Herald. Five men are interested in the group of claims that have been staked, A. H. Ridsdale, Gordon McLellan, John Salt, Fred Foster, and H. B. Thorn. Three ledges have been discovered with a width of two or three feet and all carrying good ore. From town the claims are about thirty- six miles, three miles off the Babine trail, the point where they turn off being about thirty-three miles out. This leaves the new find about eighteen miles from the surveyed line of the railway with a water grade for the entire distance. Mr. Ridsdale is much elated over the discovery and looks to see quite a stir in the locality as the country close by is very promising and there is every reason to expect further locations. Hanson Bonds Four Claims Four claims on the Nine Mile mountain, owned by James Latham, S. B. Slinger and Chas. Sanberg have been bonded to Charles L. Hanson of Victoria. No price was announced. The prospects involved in the deal are the Dawson Fraction, joining the Sunrise group on the south, and the three claims of the Silver Bell'group, joining the Silver Cup group on the north and east. Mr. Hanson will let a contract for considerable 'work this fall and winter if satisfactory arrangements can be made. Work Resumed On Iron Mask James Dyer returned from Rossland on the steamer Hazelton and will soon resume work on the Iron Mask group of claims on Four Mile hill, in which he is an owner, with Thomas Stephenson and D. L. Purvis. They already have a good showing of ore in the open cut from which returns of $68 have been received. Another New Townaite i. C. Gillespie, British Columbia land surveyor, has been engaged by C. G. Harvey and W. J. Larkworthy to survey a tract of land just east of Lot 882, known as the Taylor section, as a townsite, and the lots will be placed on the market some time during the coming winter. The new town will be situated across the Bulkley river from Four Mile hill, where rich mineral showings are being opened. The Erie gives promise of becoming one of the big mines of the province, and if other properties develop in the same manner, a pay roll will be in sight to support a large town. Bought a Farm at Bulkley Wm. J. Driver and Geo. Driver, father and son, returned Tuesday from Bulkley valley, where they completed the purchase of the farm owned by Chas.

Aug SO���S0a OPENING UP A GOOD COUNTRY WHAT TELEGRAPH LINE WILL DO FOR INTERIOR Earl Bathurat at Victoria Victoria, Sept. 4l.���(Special)���Earl Bathurst, the owner of the London Morning Post, addressed the Canadian Club at luncheon yesterday. Will Induce Hundreds of Prospectors To Investigate Kitsumkalum and Naat Valleys and Add to Prince Rupert Trade. J. Phelan, Superintendent of the Yukon Telegraph line, has this week commenced the sonstruction of the telegraph line from Kitsumkalum to Stewart, Portland Canal says the Big Canyon Weekly. Lineman Bostook and ten men left for Stewart Saturday and will commence work from that point without delay, and it is reported that as soon as the material can be landed at Kitsumkalum, a gang will also commence work from the Kjtsumkalum end. Under this arrangement, the two gangs should meet between the Kitsumkalum lake and the Naas river early in January, when Stewart and the many mining camps of the Portland Canal country will be in communication with Prince Rupert. It is safe to predict the the construction of this line will be the means if inducing hundreds of prospectors going into the hills between Portland Canal and the Kitsumkalum lake this fall and next spring, those hills so far hardly having been touched by the prospector. The range crossing in vicinity of the Kitsumkalum lake is the same range as that at the head of the Canal, a fact realized by tlie majority of the Canal prospectors. A number of good finds have been made between the Lake and Naas by the few prospectors who have ventured in those hills, and during the past summer development work was carried on by several prospectors, but until a larger number of prospectors get into that country and more systematic prospecting is carried on, the vast wealth of those hills will remain unknown to the outside world. NEW ISLAND HAS APPEARED UNCLE SAM ACQUIRING MORE ALASKA TERRITORY Island Rote From Ocean Where Geodetic Surveys Made Last Year Showed Depth of Seventy Fathoms ���Is Close to Perry Peak. Seward, Sept. 19.���A new island was added to the Bogoslof group in the Aleutian chain, at the same time that Unalaska and Dutch Harbor were shaken by an earthquake on September 1. The island rose from deep water, at a point where soundings by the geodetic survey last year showed seventy fathoms. The island Is in the form of a great rounded hill, very close to Perry Peak, the island that rose last year, and was discovered by officers of the revenue cutter Perry. The revenue cutter Bear, which has arrived from Nome, brought this news, and also reported that officers of the revenue cutter Tahoma are making a survey of the changes. The party landed on the new island last Saturday, and expect to camp there a week or ten days. Every woman knows her exact age when she ks married.���Judge Bacon.

Thursday, Sept. 22 WHO HAS THE PULL? The boys who discuss municipal politics with their meals are speculating over an alleged contest between the chairman of the streets committee and the chairman of the finance committee as to which has the greater pull at the city hall. The contestants are probably better known as Aid. Pattullo, (.Second avenue) and Aid. Lynch, (also Second avenue). Each has a gang of men doing grading work adjacent to their property. Aid. Lynch, (also Second avenue) won the first round by having the first contract start at his end but Aid. Pattullo, (Second avenue) is now leading in the race with two gangs, the city engineer on the side street and Contractor McMordie's big gang on the front. It is rumored that Aid. Pattullo (Second avenue) contemplates a further victory by having the first electric street light at the corner of First and Second while Aid. Lynch (also Second avenue) will off set this bold stroke by dividing Morse lake into wards. A EIGHT HOUR DAY A union man draws attention to another pledge of the mayor and aldermen which has been broken. It is respecting the eight hour day. This was a prominent plank in the campaign speeches yet the contractors on city work are working the men nine and ten hours. It is true the wage is $3 for eight hours and $3.75 for ten hours but the definition of an eight hour day according to organized labor unions calls for time and a half for all time over eight hours in any one day. The contractors state that the men prefer to work the ten hours, and the contractors naturally want to push the work while the weather is favorable. The labor party on the other hand claim that there are many idle men who want a share of the work and with extra labor at the eight hours the work would proceed just as fast Now that the contracts are signed up present conditions must stand but it is another proof that the council either do not want to make good on some of their pledges or else they did not understand what they were pledging themselves to. It would appear that Alfy and the organ are again tillicums. Read The Optimist ads. They are alive! ARE YOU IN NEED OF HELP ? Do you want to buy, or sell, or hire, or loan?

NEW ALASKA LINE DROPPED TREADWELL STEAMSHIP COMPANY DIED ABORNING A letter published elsewhere in this paper from a Kitsumkalum man is rather a severe criticism of the agricultural department of the provincial government on their plan of planting experimental orchards. The feature which the writer overlooks is the fact that no rancher need accept the offer but if he wants a first class orchard this seems to be about the cheapest way to get one. Inasmuch as the orchard Pacific Coast Steamship Company Renews Its Contract, the Treadwell Company Putting In New Wharves and Conveniences.

AGREEMENT FOR STATION LANDS GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC GOT ITS YARDS FREE Provincial Government Saya Canadian Northern Must Pay and Makes No Provision For Grant of Crown Lands For Railway Purpoaea. TODAY'S POLICE COURT Finny Fined For Furniture Finishing on Fare Free Frolic Victoria, Sept. 19.���It transpires that the Canadian Northern Railway will have to purchase its entire right-of-way and station site and yards in British Columbia, involving an expenditure of several hundred thousand dollars. No provision for a grant of crown lands for railway purposes was made in the contract negotiated between the company and the Provincial Government. During his recent visit to Victoria Mr. William Mackenzie, president of the Canadian Northern, negotiated an agreement respecting this matter. The Provincial Government has decided to sell the company the property required at a valuation of $5 per acre for agricultural land, $2.50 per acre for uplands, and $1 an acre for wild lands, the inspection and classification to be made by a provincial land surveyor to be mutually agreed upon. This arrangement, of course, does not relate to private property, the acquisition of which will have to be negotiated with the various owners by the right-of-way agents of the railway. It will be recalled that the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway was granted a free right-of-way as well as the necessary land for yards and sidings over crown lands- Magistrate Carss dealt this morning with the case of E. Finny who appeared charged in the first instance with having boarded the G. T. P. S. S. Prince Rupert at Stewart when he had not money with him to pay his fare. To this charge accused pleaded guilty, but said that he had money due him on account of work done on the trail at Stewart, which money was payable by check to him at Prince Rupert he had intended to settle with the purser there. The Magistrate pointed out, however, that according to law it is an offence to board a steamer without means to pay one's fare, and fined Finny a dollar and costs. Finny was further charged with having caused wilful damage to property on board the steamer, the property damaged being a chair. He pleaded guilty, but maintained that the chair was damaged when the officers of the steamer were applying a little forceful persuasion to him over the matter of his fare. This statement was corrected by an officer, who stated that the chair was deliberately broken by the accused when it was placed for his comfort in the room in which he was confined for non-payment of his fare. Finny offered to pay for the chair, and the Magistrate fined him another dollar and costs also ordering him to pay the expense of repairing the chair estimated at about $2.50. As the court was adjourning Finny asked if the chair would become his property on payment of the $2.50, but was told that he would be merely asked to pay the repair bill, the chair being returned to the steamer. with the Pacific Coast Steamship Compan was expiring, the Treadwell Gold Mining Company sought to have it renewed. The Pacific Coast Company did not seem inclined to handle the freight at the old figures and for a time it looked as though the company would go through. The Treadwell people then took the matter of forming a new company up with Max Kalish of the Humboldt Steamship Company and had started preliminary details when the Pacific Coast people agreed that, if certain wharf improvements were arranged by the Treadwell Company at Treadwell they would renew the contract. These improvements, a powder wharf and a long freight wharf, are now being completed at the property of the mining company, across the bay, and there is no further talk of a new steamship line.

Smith's View. Silver Cup Mines Limited is today one of the best buys on the market. Anyone who will go into the mining properties in Northern British Columbia will agree that Silver Cup is the most promising. Lcoally a great deal is known about this mine and as the owners and managers are all local men who are well known the utmost confidence is felt, as is evidenced by the rapid sale of the 100,000 shares that are now on the market at 12 l-2c per share. Aid. V. W. Smith, one of the chief owners and directors states that the development work has progressed very satisfactorily all summer and the mine continues to improve. The men are working on the lower tunnel now and they have yet to strike the first disappointment. Mr. Smith is in constant communication with the mine and every report that comes down only increases the confidence of the owners and directors. Silver Cup is on Ninemile mountain, a short distance from Hazelton and the G. T. P. To get the ore to transportation will be an easy undertaking and the cost of shipping will be small. There is an immense body of ore and the farther down they go the ore continues in quantity and value. The average of $100 per ton will be received from top to bottom. Such high values together with the quantity will make make Silver Cup very valuable. At the present time men are engaging in sacking ore for the first shipment and in a few days this will be packed to Hazelton and brought down on the steamers. The result of this shipment is being looked forward to with great interest by the directors and the general public as well, and the fact that the shipment is being made is very encouraging to the investors. J. R. Talpey, the fiscal agent for Silver Cup reports very brisk sales of the 100,000 share issue. Any who wish to get in on this opportunity will find Mr. Talpey at his office on Second avenue, Pattullo block.

CABINET SPLIT IS REPORTED NEW OFFICIALS SOON IN PRAIRIE PROVINCES Leading Candidate* For the Two Governorships.���Frank Oliver To Leave Cabinet and to Be Offered Governorship of Alberta. Ottawa, aSept. 19.���The governorships of both the northwestern provinces will shortly have to be filled. Hon. A. E. Forget and Hon. G. H. V, Bulyea have served the full term of five years as lieutenant-governors of Saskatchewan and Alberta respectively. It is not believed that either will be re-appointed. Mr. Forget has occupied the gov- ernament house at Regina since 1898, having served as lieutenant-governor of the Northwest Territory prior to the autonomy bills. It is understood thst he intends to take up his residence in Montreal. Leading candidates for the governorship of Saskatchewan are Mr. George Brown of Regina and Mr. J. G. Turiff, M. P. for East Assiniboia. The former has the backing of the Scott government, while Mr. Turiff is recommended by all Liberal members of Parliament for Saskatchewan. In Alberta the situation derives interest from the probable retirement of Hon. Frank Oliver from the Dominion cabinet. It is generally believed that sharp differences of opinion exist between Mr. Oliver and his colleagues respecting questions of policy in the administration of the department of the interior. The minister's regulations in regard to immigration were modified by the government during his absence in the Yukon and it is currently re ported that differences of opinion as to the proper method of allotment of homesteads in the railway belt of British Columbia terminated a few years ago in an interview between Mr. Oliver and Sir Wilfrid Laurier at Kamloops, in the course of which the former tendered his resignation. The resignation was not accepted at that time, but there is every reason to believe that within the next few months Mr. Oliver will be succeeded in tbe cabinet by Premier Sifton of Alberta. There is none the less every disposition on the part of the government to part with Mr. Oliver on good terms and there is authority for the statement that the minister has the refusal of the governorship of Alberta.

There is no use in telling traveller* it is, because there will be just as many who will disbelieve the statement as there are those who will believe it. But to the skeptical ones, we must say: Go to David Stewart's opposite Copper river, see his orchards, and then you will believe. Your correspondent passed through Mr. Stewart's ranch Sunday morning and noticed over thirty apple trees, different varieties, all not only in good bearing, but so loaded down with fruit CARTAGE and STORAGE G.

Trees of three and four years must be propped as well as those six or eight years old. All told Mr. Stewart has about two hundred trees, many set out in the last two years, but the trees nine years old and down to those of three and four years are the ones that will astonish the traveller. One traveller from Oregon stated that he never saw better bearing or better class fruits in Oregon than those he recently saw on Mr. Stewart's ranch. Two years ago Mr. Stewart sold quite a lot of plums and prunes, but this year, although he will no doubt be able to place plums on the market in Prince Rupert, he will have a standard crop of prunes. ThiB year, for the first ���in seven years his prune trees will have but a light crop, and as your correspondent can vouch for the crops for the past few years, this year's light crop has only be explained by allowing that like everything else, prune trees must have an "off year" too. One of the jolliest dances of the season was given in Mclntyre's hall by the Younger aSet, last evening. Most delightful music was furnished by Grey's Orchestra. =E. EBY 0% Co.== REAL ESTATE Kitsumkalum Land For Sale KITSUMKALUM - - B C. little's NEWS Agency Magazines :: Periodicals :: Newspapers CIGARS :: TOBACCOS :: FRUITS G.T.P. WHARF Third Avenue LoU Sold The sum of $10,000 has been paid for lots 21 and 22, block 84 section 1 by a San Diego client of Messrs. McCaffery and Gibbons, real estate agents of thiB city. The property is situated on Third avenue. The Editor of the Prince Rupert Optimist: Sir,��� The government of British Columbia in the past may have enjoyed the proud distinction of being noted for its generosity to the settler, but this last move whereby they propose to establish experimental orchards in the valleys of the Kitsumkalum and Lakelse, is to my way of thinking quite the contrary; or probably, to be more explicit, it takes on the form of a huge joke. However, with your kind permission I will herein try and set forth for the benefit of your readers the purport of the contract and leave it for them to judge whether it is the settler or the government who does the giving. The contract says the settler who is "fortunate" to secure the orchard must first donate five acres of suitable land, the same must be cleared and cleaned up, then it must be seeded down to clover or something else equally good. Then it has to be fenced and supplied with plenty of water for irrigation, etc. Then it has to be supplied with the necessary tools and implements for operation; and last but by no means least, the poor settler or "fortunate", one must put in five years of valuable time looking after the aforesaid orchard, besides being supposed to kind of hang around whenever he is honored with visitors. That means he will have to keep up some kind of an establishment where they can quench their thirst if any, and in some cases furnish an occasional hand-out just to keep in tune and make a good fellow of himself. Now all this is going to cost the fortunate settler, as the government seems to think he will be, $6000 in time, $1000 for clearing the land, and about $500 for fencing and necessary tools and implements���altogether $6600 not allowing anything for the land. Against this the government kindly plows the land at a cost of say $20, furnishes trees, about $40 and once a year demonstrates for the benefit of the "fortunate" one and others who see fit to attend on such occasions. I also forgot to mention they will plant the trees v.hich probably would cost $50. Altogether the government would counterbalance the for- tuante settlers layout by going down into the exchequer to the tune of less than $200, which as you can plainly see, is quite a sum. Even at that, it would be money well invested providing Kitsumkalum and Lakelse valleys can produce the fortunate settlers who has the time and can be made think he is getting a cheap orchard. ��� I might also state the contract allows either party to cancel the contract within the limit of the five years. Should the settler be the one to get cold feet, he has the privilege of signing off by giving the necessary notice and reimbursing the government for the money laid out. In conclusion I might say: I don't wish to hamper any good intentions on the part of the government but I trust that before they start in to institute these orchards they will just post themselves a little more, then perhaps they will read the contract and interpret it justly, as has, Yours, etc., "A. .Settler."

SCENIC BEAUTY OF THE SKEENA FAMOUS ARTIST FINDS WORDS ARE INADEQUATE Home Ruaaell Telle of Hia Five Paintings of Skeena Scenery Now On Exhibition at Bruasela, and of His Thousand Mile Trip In Interior G. Home Russell, one of the Lett exploration party, cannot find words fitting to express his admiration of the scenery of the Skeena river. Language is altogether inadequate and his impressions of it in all, he says, are to his disappointment in that they do not convey the combined lovliness and grandeur as he sees it and feels it. "I have travelled over three-quarters of the world and I have never seen anything approaching such * scenery. Of course you will see here and there lovely spots in any country; but think of two hundred miles of it without a break. It is simply marvellous." This is Mr. Russell's second visit to Prince Rupert. He spent nearly six weeks on the Skeena last fall, in a hurry to complete five paintings for the international art exhibition at Brussels. There was not time, he felt, to do the subject justice, but the pictures arrived at Brussels before the date expired for their receipt and were favorably considered by the hanging committee. While the artist has been in the wilds a good part of this wonderful exhibition was destroyed by fire, but the pictures of the lovely Skeena, which have been highly commended by European art critics, were saved and are ���till on exhibition there. Asked what points on the Skeena are depicted in these paintings Mr. Russell said this morning that he could not tell as the places had no names. Only one of the pictures had been given a name, "and that," he smilingly added, "prove to be geographically incorrect," "They were bits that struck me on the way between Prince Rupert and the head of navigation. I only got as far as Hazelton that trip and was heavily handicapped by the weather. It waa simply awful. With better weather I might have had better effects but even the weather cannot mar the beauties along both banks of the stream. Always the soft atmosphere, the snow-capped summits, the glistening glaciers and tbe tumbling cascades, the bold crags, the slides, the foliage���everything all the way is awfully interesting to an artiste tnd will be in time to come to the tourist. "This trip of exploration we have just finished has been interesting, but it has been a hard one. Even in a land of such gorgeous scenic effects it is difficult to find just the typical scenery you want to paint where there are no trails. You find the most wonderful coloring among the mountains, especially between Grand Forks and Mount Robson and all about the latter. But the trails to scenic points have yet to be cut. "I am pleased to hear some of the Hays party expressed their appreciation of the scenery on the Skeena for, as I have said, there is none more wonderful in all the world." Mr. Russell leaves on the Prince Rupert on his return to Montreal to rest up after his trip of a thousand miles through the partly pathless wilderness of Northern British Columbia. Hopes High For Hazelton Harry Brin of the Brin Furniture Co., has returned to Prince Rupert from Hazelton where he has been looking after the firm's interests arranging for a confidently expected rush of business in the spring. Mr. Brin reports that business generally is pretty lively in Hazelton but a big boom is certain to take place there as soon as the winter is over.

EMMERSON, Prince Rupert I JACK UP JACK AT SIX P. M. PUZZLE HAPPENED ON SIXTH STREET YESTERDAY EVENING When J. G. Weston's Horse Got Its Hind Leg Through the Plankway And Took Some Helping Out By The Boys. Jack is a horse belonging to Messrs. J. G. Weston and Sons, transfer agents, Prince Rupert. Up till 6 p.m. yesterday, or to be precise, 5:45 p.m., Jack pursued the even tenor of his way unknown to fame. By the sixth hour of yester-eve as the poet puts it, the street which is also Sixth rang with the name of Jack. It was "Hi, Jack!" and "Ho, Jack!" and "Come on Jack!" and "Whoa, Jack!" and "What ho, Jack!" and "Giddup Jack!", and other remarks addressed to Jack which would melt cold type if not our readers hearts. For poor Jack had punched a hole in the planking on Sixth street with his hind leg and lay there unresponsive alike to appeal or exhortation. The problem was clearly how to Jack up Jack. Right rapidly as again the poet hath it���the multitude assembled. Sixth street resounded to the hum of a mighty throng all interested in Jack and Jack's hindleg. Stalls, gallery, and pit��� (McMordie's sewer pit) were packed with spectators. Jack had a score of helpers. One man sat on his head, another held his tail, a third groped between the planks to find the missing hind leg;, and the rest got busy with axe and saw spade, shovel, crow bar, and peevie, to clear away the pile of excavation dirt that hindered their efforts, and to extricate Jack's hind leg by sawing the planks between which it was jammed. A lady in the audience retired hurriedly because she thought they were going to saw off Jack's leg, and a small boy got in the way of a shovelful of dirt hurriedly flung, which rather damped his ardor. Jack himself breathed hard but said nothing; and by and by they got his leg out and urged him vociferously to "Giddup!" Nothing doing. Jack was firmly convinced that he had still "one foot in the grave," so to speak, and it wasn't till the lads had lent a hand and positively hoisted him on to his four pegs that he believed, shook himself, and dumbly endorsed his driver's hearty thanks to the boys for helping him. "Oh thats all right, we're giving this free tonight!" said the boys jovially as Jack got yoked up again none the worse of his mishap. BULKLEY ORE OUTLOOK Expert Cronin Finds Development Of Minerals Is Very Rapid James Cronin, the well known mining expert, is back at the Prince Rupert Inn from a trip of investigation he has been making up the Skeena and particularly in the Bulkley valley. He expresses his surprise at the new discoveries of good ore, saying they have now found ore at fifteen hundred feet above sea level, while up to this year none had been discovered much below timber line. There were two places below Hazelton, he said, where they have ore at fifteen hundred and at twenty-five hundred feet above sea level. These in his opinion carry the surest indications of the chances of discovering paying mines. He is very much struck with the improved prospects of the Bulkley valley mineral region since his previous tour of investigation. MARRIED AT NINETY-SIX Got Gunner's License by Mistake But Exchanged It Baltimore, Sept. 17.���William Boyd, aged 96, went to Towson, a suburb, to secure a license for his marriage to Miss Ann Eliza Daniel, aged 55, but in the rush was given a gunner's license by mistake. He did not discover the error until after he had reached his home at Stevenson, ten miles frcm Towson. As there were no more trains to Towson, he had to walk there to secure the proper document and then walk back home. He was none the worse for his long tramp, and was joined in wedlock to Miss Daniel. Enormous Profits on Lotteries. Washington, Sept. 19.���A profit of nearly $9,000,000 accrued to the Italian Government last year through lotteries run under the control af the government. The total lottery receipts were about $16,500,000, half of which the state paid out in expenses and winnings. The lottery business increased more than $500,000 over the preceding year, according to a report by Consul- General Smith at Genoa.
