TEMPORARY SEWERS. The Promoters Want to Get Many More Users. A meeting of the temporary sewer promoters was held yesterday afternoon at the Talbot House with G. T. Williams in the chair.

It will be late in the fall before any permanent sewers are constructed and the temporary line is now at their disposal at small cost. If people on Third and Second avenues and Sixth street would join the promoters the sewage would be disposed of very economically for all. The meeting eas adjourned until this afternoon in the Talbot House. DEATH TO ALL RATS. Council Will Co-operate With Others in Destroying the Pest. As a result of the efforts of the Board of Trade, the G. T. P. and Foley, Welsh and Stewart, the council has decided to co-opernte in the extermination of rats. The pests have got to go and go quickly. They have received the same notice as the blind pig operators. The Health Committee of the council has the matter in hand and in a day or so they will report to the council upon their investigations and then a day will be set for the distribution of the virus. The whole city will be done at the same time or as nearly so as possible. Mr. H. H. Clarke as representing the Board of Trade in reference to the extermination of rats said that the board had secured 250 tubes of virus. He said the Council should have the sanitary inspector distribute these and see that they are carried out. The G. T. P. and Foley, Welsh & Stewart will co-operate. Mr. McMaster said that the stuff they had would have to be used by June 20th. The company would do all they | could and the stuff would have to be used all over the infected section at one time. Aid. Pattullo and Aid. Mclntyre moved that the sanitary inspector be authorized to co-operate with the G. T.P. and Foley, Welsh and Stewart.���carried. Dr. Mclntyre outlined the importance of exterminating rats and he recited the most alarming conditions in San Francisco a couple of years after the earth quake. In conclusion he said that concrete was the great enemy of the rat and when we got concrete walks and docks the rat question will look after itself. The health and license committee are to bring in a report at the very earliest moment. WILL SEND DELEGATION PUBLICITY CLUB TO WELCOME THE PRINCE RUPERT. Two Representative Citizens Going to Seattle on Invitation of Grand Trunk���Informal Dance to be Given to Visitors. The Publicity Club is going to send a delegation to Seattle to come to Prince Rupert with the distinguished people who have been invited for this trip of the Grand Trunk steamship of that name also the club is arranging to give an informal dance for the entertainment of the visitors the evening they are here. This was decided upon at a meeting of the executive committee of the club last night, W. W. Clarke presiding. The delegation to be sent from here is upon an invitation extended to the club by Mr. Hinton, general agent of the company at Winnipeg, and today two of Prince Rupert's representatives business men will be selected for the honor, The officers of the new vessel are to hold an invitation reception on board the new vessel at Vancouver on June 9th and the next day she will go into commission and sail for Seattle. There will be another grand reception there when the new vessel Prince Rupert will start on her first voyage north on June 12th, with many notable officials of the com- peny and distinguished guests among her passengers. She will leave Vancouver on the following day and after a stay at this port will go on to Stewart. The club are arranging an informal dance for the invited passengers on the evening of her arrival here, invitations to which will be carried south by the Prince Rupert delegation, in shape of pretty cards which will be placed on the plates of the invited directly after the steamer leaves Seattle. This card offer them the freedom of the new city in addition to inviting them to dance. Many ladies have already expressed their willingness to do everything possible to make the dance an enjoyable affair for the strangers, so that their visit may leave a favorable and pleasing memory. It is believed the ladies will be only too happy to take up the project with enthusiasm. A general meeting of the club has been called for Thursday evening, in Mclntyre hall, to discuss other details of the plans for the reception of the distinguished visitors and it is to be hoped there will be a large attendance. Yucatan Again Afloat. The salvage boat Santa Cruz was spoken by the wireless off Lucy Island at nine o'clock this morning at the Prince Rupert wireless station.

ANOTHER ENGINEER HAS BEEN EMPLOYED ENGINEER CLEMENTS CANNOT DO THE WORK ALONE. Council Trying to Have all Information Ready for Engineer Davis When He Arrives here in July to Take Up the Work. The Aldermen decided last night that another engineer was necessary and they gave instructions to Mr. Clements to engage one. The Streets Committee will also report on the advisability of securing a third engineer to look after the water end. All the Aldermen were present with Mayor Stork in the chair. The minutes of the last regular meeting were read and adopted. There were no reports from co m mittees, no petitions and no communic a tions. Alderman Pattullo introduced By-law No. 5, being a by-law dealing with the regulation of the retail liquor licenses. He then moved that it be given its first reading. This was carried and the by-law was read. Aid. Pattullo made inquiry as to the duties of assessors. He asked if that official would have such duties assigned to him as collector of electric lights, water and telephone fees. He also asked what the salary would be. Aid. Mobly thought the assessor should be engaged on the understanding that he perform any duties the council saw fit to assign to him. Aid. Hilditch moved that the mayor insert an advertisment in the papers for three days, calling for applications for assessor to be closed in three days. An advertisment has already been inserted setting date on June 7th, so the matter was dropped. It is distinctly understood that all officials appointed by the council will perform any and all duties apsigned to them by the council. Under the head of new business Aid. Lynch said the engineer would have to have some assistance if it was desired to get any business started this year. The city engineer has been loaded up with electric, telephone and so many other things that it is impossible for him progress. He said the council might just as well face the matter now. Mr. Clements can find lots of work for another engineer. Aid. Barrow said the first thing an engineer should do was to prepare a plan showing what the city has got. He thought the mayor should authorize Mr. Clements to get what assistance he required. Aid. Hilditch admitted that the engineer was tied up but where will the assistants be coming from. The engineers cannot get assistance for themselves to say nothing of getting any for the city. Mr. Clements said that he thought the city could secure two assistants from the G. T. P. men who are among the best, and he understood they would help at a reasonable figure. He then outlined some of the things which the engineer has to do at once' with a typographical map of Woodworth lake and also maps of the townsite. If these were not secured it would lose many thousands of dollars later on. All the information in the city is now in the city and the council can have access to them if they go at it right. He read a list of the maps that are now in the city. The Government and Grand Trunk have expended a quarter of a million of dollars now for those plans. On motion of Aid. Pattullo and Aid. Lynch, that Mr. Clements be authorized to engage Mr. Lucas as engineer and two draftsmen to assist him at $150 per month. Aid. Barrow spoke in favor of the motion and he suggested that the mayor endeavor to secure authority to have access to the plans of the G.T.P. The motion was put and it carried. DUMA MADE A FARCE. Finland Bill to be Passed by Special Order. (Special to the Optimist). St. Petersburg, June 4.���The debate on the Russo-Finnish bill has begun in the Duma and will in all probability be passed. The measure is bitterly resented by Finland,as it steals from that country every vestige of government. The Finnish Diet, which had also to pass the bill, returned it to the Czar without action. Its ultimate passage by the Duma is now forecast on a vote declaring the bill urgent. This action is taken under the personal instruction of the Czar. Dora Doxey is Acquitted. St. Louis, June 4.���(Special)��� After a 1 ong trial the jury has acquitted Mrs. Dora Doxey, charged with the murder of William J. Erder. Immediately upon release she was rearrested on a bigamy warrant. Her husband will not be tried now for complicity in the Erder murder. STEWART TO BE A TOWN CITIZENS WILL APPLY FOR INCORPORATION FORTHWITH. Solicitors are getting a Copy of the ProVincial Assessment Roll���Will Start off in a Proper Manner���Mr. Soule Engaged. King of Spain 111. Madrid, June 4.���(Special)���The King of Spain is suffering severely from catarrh and pulmonary troubles. A specialist is in daily attendance and the condition of his majesty is causing the court physicians considerable uneasiness. Carpenters are in demand at Fort George at $7 per day, while unskilled labor commands $3 a day and board. Stewart is getting ambitious and is assuming all kinds of airs. The latest move among the citizens is to apply for incorporation as a town at once under the Municipal Clauses Act and they have engaged Lucas & Lucas as their solicitors. Arrangements are already on foot to carry out the plan and one of the first things was an application to Provincial Assessor W. M. Vickers for a certified copy of the assessment roll. They want particularly the value placed on the lands and the names of the owners. They intend to get the assessment roll out and have it ready for the council when it is elected. Mr. Sadler, of Stewart, representing Lucas & Lucas, was in the city yesterday and interviewed the provincial assessor with the result that Mr. Soule has been engaged to copy the assessment roll. He will begin his duties forthwith. Mr. Sadler returned to Stewart this morning, Rain has subdued the forest fires which have been ra<j nj; tlroL'gh the Nicola and the Similkameen. ;, THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST LAND PURCHASE NOTICE LAND PURCHASE NOTICE Queen Charlotte Island Land District. ���District uf Skeena.���Notice Is hereby given that I, Rowland F.

Calkins as acting Chief of Police meets with a measure of approval.. Mr. Calkins' ability and strength as a police officer in this city has never had a fair test, but today as acting chief of the police force of the city he has the opportunity of demonstrating to the council and the citizens that it is no', necessary for them to import something from the "cent belt". Mayor Stork, before his election, on the public platform, made the statement that he would, if elected mayor, close up the blind pigs in 24 hours. He has stood by his statement by giving these institutions 24 hours to quit, and it is up to him to see that recent appointments to the police force carry out his instructions in this respect to the letter. Mr. Calkins has the opportunity of proving to the citizens of Prince Rupert that the confidence and trust placed in him has been handed to the right man. Blind pigs are in the opinion of the Optimist, not only places where liquor is sold in the business sections of the city illegally, but in houses of prostitution as well. Why stop the illegal sale of liquor on Sixth street, First, Second or Third avenues, and have it sold in the houses on Comox avenue, at twice the price? Mayor Stork and the police commissioners are entitled to all the praise and the support of the citizens if they carry into effect the edict they have issued, and Mr. Calkins has the opportunity of his life in showing if he is a strong man or a weakling, and the citizens will judge quickly and firmly.

Shakespeare's Hamlet declared that "Time is out of joint." Shakespeare's Prospero, on the contrary, asserted that "Time goes upright with his carriage." It is the former who is approvingly quoted by the Moderator of the Presbyterian Assembly, which has been meeting at Detroit. He has been telling his brother ministers that grafting, and the traffic in white slaves, "twin vampires of civilization," have visited the whole world. Each age, undoubtedly, has its own besetting sin, but only a pessimist will disregard the testimony of the centuries as to the age-old character of the vampire evils with which the clergyman in question deals. The grafter and the slaver were as much in evidence in Old Testament days as they are now. As compared with the cunning dishonesty of the East, the grafting of the Occident is of childlike simplicity. White slavery has always been identified with the growth of great centers of population. The real difference between the "then and now" lies in the attitude of public opinion. The twin vampires are the disgrace of this generation as they have been of generations long since past, but to-day the public conscience is awakened and a campaign of reformation inaugurated. We rather admire the attitude which is taken by the Walkerton Telescope, which insists upon seeing the good, as well as the bad, in its fellow beings. Commenting upon reports of two murder trials, a murder, a suicide, and the announcement of a hanging, all in Ontario, and appearing in the papers of a single days, it says: The fellow with the natural grouch would say that the country is going to the dogs. And yet, on the other hand we hear of three quarters of a million being subscribed in a couple of weeks for the protection of the young men in a single city, the efforts being put forth for the suppression of vice, the international conferences for the world's peace. At no time in the world's history have such missionary efforts been put forth. Everything considered, the world's tendency is upward rather than downward. It is a hopeless philosophy that holds otherwise. If all the enlightment of preceding ages has served only to drag mankind deeper in the mire, scholars, preachers, writers, philanthropists have lived in vain. CANADA OF THE SOUTH. Growth of Venezuela in Political Stability. Those too numerous persons who affect a nil admirari attitude toward Latin America will do well to take notice of the significance of a brief and mai- ter-of-fact statement in the message with which the other day President Al- corta opened the session of the Argentine Congress. It was the stock of gold that in the conversion caisse amounted to 201,653,000 pesos, or $194,595,145 means that Argentina stands fourth among the nations of the world in the amount ot gold reserve, those surpassing her being France, America and Russia. That is a remarkable financial standing for the austral republic to enjoy, and it is a fitting circumstance of the celebration of that country's 100th anniversary of independence, which occurs next month. But Argentina is in many���we might. . say in all���respects a remarkable country. We are not sure that among all the lands which Sir Henry Maine half pityingly and half contemptously and altogether despairingly called the "mongrel republics" there was down to half a century ago one which was more unpromising than the United Provinces of the Plate River. The incessant bickerings and wars among those loosely confederated states went far to justify Bolivar's pessimistic fear that in freeing South America from Spain ha had "ploughed the sea". All the faults of all the others were to be observed there, with few of their virtues. In a whole century Argentina has produced not a single chief of state of commanding rank, comparable, let us say, with Bolivar or Diaz. The most conspicious of them all was Rosas, and he as a dictator ranked far below Francia and Lopez. Yet Argentina has grown in political stability and enlightment and in material wealth until it is the foremost state of South America. Nor should it be difficult to discern the secrets of that growth. The unification of the provinces into a nation, fifty-seven years ago, was the chief political reason. A polyglot and polychrome nation, it knows no racial or color lines. There is ready assimilation of aliens, there is equality, and there is no race suicide. If to these things we add an extensive and varied domain, rich in many natural resources, with the best climate in all the Southern Hemisphere, we shall have completed the great outline of Argentina's grounds for great success. "The Canada of the South" that country has been called, and it deserves the name. I Fruit Crop Destroyed. Des Moines, la., June4��� (Special)��� The late frosts practically wiped out the fruit crop.

Gray, president of the Edmonton baseball club, has notified President Eckstrom, of the Western Canada league, that unless Baxter and Olson are reinstated immediately the Edmonton club will withdraw from the league. This is the aftermath of the trouble with Umpire Longenecker. The Edmonton officials held that the umpire has no power to suspend a player beyond I he game in which an o-fence occurs, as Baxter and Olson out of the game the tepm would be very seriously crippled. Jem Driscoll, the English lightweight, has issued a challange to fight Ad Wolgast, the lightweight champion. Driscoll announced that he is ready to post $5000 to show good faith. Driscoll says he will fight at 133 pounds and is willing that the bout shall go cither ten or forty-five rounds. He wants the date set about three weeks from the time for his meeting with Abe Attell. This puts Driscoll in the position of challenging the lightweight championship of the world while he is preparing for a fight with the featherweight champion of the world. Naughton, the fistic expert of the the San Francisco Examiner says of Jeffries: One of the questions most frequently asked is : "How has Jim Jeffries come along with his training?" The answer, I take it, should be "Very well, indeed." Jim has thrown his whole heart and soul into his work and has proved a good many things. First of all, he has maintained his proper proportions without incurring any of the ills prophesied if he attempted such a wholesale reduction of flesh after several years of inactivity. In the next place, he has proved that he retains his old-time strength and endurance and that his wind has no flaws in it. For sale���1 first class Kitchen Range holes with warmer attachment.

The history of how the heavyweight championship title has changed hands since Jeffries gave it up because he could find no one who cared to face him is interesting at thos eime. Jeff retired the undefeated champion of the world after knocking out Jack Mun- roe in San Francisco August 26, 1903, in four rounds. Jack Root and Marvin Hart met in a finish fight for the vacant title in Reno, Nev., July 3, 1905, Hart winning the battle on a knockout in the twelfth round. Hart, on January 15 following put away Pat Callahan in Butte, Mont., in two rounds. He forfeited claim to the title when he was bested in a twenty- round decision fight by Tommy Burns in Los Angeles on February 23, 1906. Burns won a number of unimportant fights before he gained a decision over Jack O'Brien in Los Angeles November 28, 1907. He next put away Bill Squires, of Australia, in one round on July 4, in Colma, Cal. Burns then went to Europe, where he knocked out in succession Gunner Moir, London, December 2, ten rounds; Jack Palmer, London, February 10, 1908, four rounds; Jem Roche, Dublin, March 17, 1908, one round; Jewey Smith, Paris, April 18, 1908, five rounds, and Bill Squires, Paris June 13, 1908, eight rounds. Having disposed of Hart, who claimed the American title ; Gunner Moir, the claimant of the English championship; Squires, champion of Australia, and Jem Roche, champion of Ireland, Burns was at last hailed as champion. From France Burns traveled to Australia. He disposed of Bill Squiies for the third time, knocking him out in the thirteenth round, in Sydney on August 26, 1908. Burns then put away Bill Lang in Melbourne September 2, in six rounds. Then came his battle with Jack Johnson. Johnson won a knockout, or���to be more exact���won thru police interference, the police jumping into the ring to save Burns from further punishment and whai appeared to be a complete knockout.

C, May 28���Mackenzie and Mann have suddenly become important factors in British Columbia development. Before the signing of the agreement with the local government for the construction of a line of railway across the province, a continuation of the transcontinental line which they are establishing, little was heard of that well-known firm of railway builders in British Columbia, but since then they have been more than ordinarily prominent. It was known by a few that Mackenzie and Mann were interested in the Fraser River Lumber company, which lately disposed of its assets to the Canadian Western Lumber company, but they were silent factors in the capitalization. With the formation of the new company, however, not only the names of Mackenzie and Mann appear as prominent directors, but the name of D. B. Hanna, third vice-president of the C. P. R. also figures. The latest district to attract more than ordinary.. attention in the province is the Portland canal, and there Mr. Mann is to be found also. Mr. Mann is the main mover in the concern that is building a twenty-mile short line for the benefit of mining properties there, and besides that, the syndicate which he had organized is sending out a small army of prospectors to hunt for minerals in that part of the province and also in south-eastern Alaska, which is close at hand, the boundary line being along Portland canal. A not uninteresting story is told in connection with Mr. Mackenzie and the new location of Port Mann on the Fraser river. A local railway official who had known him in the old days, ventured to approach him, when he was last on the coast, as to the probable locotion of the company's shops, etc, out here. "Acreage on the couth bank of the Fraser river, between Por<i Kells and South Westminster looks good." was the reply of silent William, when asked where there might be a good place to invest an odd couple of nnudred dollars. The man who made the enquiry thought he knew about as much as anybody about acreage in that out of the way place and laughed at the joke. Even when the first sales were made, he did not take the remark as a tip, but when Port Mann was put on the map, the recollection of the conversation came to him, and he has been lamenting ever since. When the tip was hinted, acreage was at a nominal figure in the locality suggested, but when he realized what was taking place, it had jumped out of the reach of the ordinary man.

KRUZNER, Prince Rupert British Columbians will find something of direct interest in Mrs. Humphrey Ward's Canadian novel. "Lady Merten, Colonist." Some true things about the making of this new land and problems are presented by Mrs. Ward. For the American invasion, so-called, is referred to under a discussion of the possibility of the Americanizing of Canada. When this possiblity is mentioned Anderson, the book's typ'cal Canadian, says with a touch of scorn. "Let them come. Excejlei.i stuff! We can absorb them. We are doing it fast." "Can you?" says Marietta. "They are pouring all.over the new districts as fast as the survey is completed and the railways planned. They bring capital, which your Englishmen don't. They bring knowledge of the prairie and the climate, wh'/c h your Englishmen haven't got. as for capital, America is doing everything���financing the railways, the mines, buying up the lands and leasing the forests. British Columbia is only nominally yours; American capital and business have got their firm grip on the very vitals of the Province." "Perfectly true," put in the lumberman from Vancouver; "they have three- fourths of the forests in their hands." "No matter," said Anderson, kindling. "There was a moment of danger���twenty years ago. It is gone. Canada will no more be American than she will be Catholic. These Yankees come in���they turn Englishmen in six months, they celebrate Dominion Day on the First of July, and Independence Day, for old land's sake, on the Fourth; and their children will be as loyal as Toronto." "Aye, and as dull!" said Mariette. TOMORROW OF ELECTRICITY. Machines will do all the Work Says Edison. When He Put Out to Sea. For sheer pathos, what, in a recent autobiography, can surpass the sentence in one of Mark Twain's last letters written in the Bermudas; "There is not another orphan so wretched, so ruined, so forsaken, as I am. Just a battered old derelict washing about the wastes of the great sea, with nobody on the bridge." Was there then no Pilot by when he put out to sea?��� Get your buttons covered at Hoffman's. ii-9-tf In the June number of Popular Electricity Thomas A. Edison, the inventor, makes a few predictions about "The Tomorrows of Electricity and Invention." In the not far distant future, says the Wizard of Menly Park, all the chores of the household will be done by electric machines and the armies of clerks and sales people in the department stores will be replaced by motors and slot machines. Mr. Edison says he is now at work on plans for such a store and soon will have them completed. "Animal labor"���that is, human labor���must give way, he insists, before the scientific work of the electric machine. Humane societies, Mr. Edison prophesies, are doomed to early extinction with the positively sure disappearance of the horse from the streets of cities. "For years past," he writes, "I have been trying to perfect a storage battery and now have rendered it entirely suitable to automobile and other work. There is absolutely no reason why horses should be allowed within city limits, for between the gasoline and the electric car no room is left for them. They are not needed. The cow and the pig have gone and the horse is still more undesirable. "A higher public ideal of health and cleanliness is working toward such banishment very swiftly, and then we shall have decent streets instead of stables made out of strips of cobblestones bordered by sidewalks. The worst use of money is to make a fine thoroughfare and then turn it over to horses. Besides that, the change will put the humane societies out of business." The substitution of electrical for human labor will cut down the cost of living to the minimum, Mr. Edison predicts, and he then proceeds to teli how, with his rapidly perfecting plans for "pouring" houses instead of "building" them, the laboring man may have a fine home for a year's wage or thereabouts. THE HOUSEWIFE AND THE FLY. "Don't come into my parlor," said the housewife to the fly, "There's a screen at every window and your entrance I defy; There are microbes on your footsteps and a crust upon your head Which, if not microscopic, would fill our hearts with dread. "You carry germs of typhoid and consumption's bane, And our sanitary teachers paint you crimes in language plain; Don't come into my parlor, and for safety I would pray If you walked into my dining room Upon some sunny day. "There are seeds of vile distempers hidden in your tiny wings, And your many feet have traveled over nameless filthy things; You're a menance to our safety, you are powerful tho small, And the mischief you accomplish would the bravest hearts appal. "If you enter I have poison all prepared for you to eat, And paper spread to tangle your germ-laden wings and feet; I will poison, trap or smash you if you do not leave my door, For our modern sanitation will endure your calls no more."

RUMOR UNFOUNDED. Ambassador James Bryce to Remain in United States. Washington, D. C, May 28.���At the British embassy today the report that Ambassador James Bryce has asked to be relieved from further duty here was characterized as a '"silly repeti tion of a rumor already printed four or five times." The ambassador himself refused ad- solutely to confirm or deny the report, but from other sources at the embassy the strong impression was gained that it had no foundation in fact. Unlike the American diplomatic service whose members tender their resignation at each charge of administration, the British diplomatic service is permanent, just like the civil service employees. Ambassador Bryce today denied that he had in contemplation the writing of a third volume of the "American Commonwealth", saying that the work had been completed 20 years ago. Since the death of King Edward the ambassador has cancelled alle ngage- ments to make public address at colleges or elsewhere. LIFE IN THE ARCTIC. Hardships of Tent Existence Told by Peary. "A man's first night in a canvax tent in the Arctic is likely to be rather wakeful," says Commander Peary in Hampton's. "The ice makes mysterious noises, the dogs bark and fight outside the tent where they are tethered, and as three Eskimos and one white man usually occupy a small tent and the oil stove is left burning all night, the air norwithstanding the cold, is not overpure, and sometimes the Eskimos begin chanting to the spirits of their ancestors in the middl of the night. Sometimes, too, the new man'-s nerves are tried by hearing wolves howl in the distance. "The tents are specially made. They are of light-weight canvas and the floor of the tent is sewed directly into it. The fly is sewed up, a circular opening in it large enough to admit a man, and that opening fitted with a circular flap, which is closed by a drawstring, making the tent absolutely snowproof. An ordinary tent when the snow is flying would be filled in no time. "The tent is pyramidal with one pole in the centre, and the edges are usually held down by the sledges runners or by snowshoes used as tent pegs. The men sleep on the floor with a couple of deer skins wrapped around them. I have not used sleeping bags since my Arctic trip of 1891-92. "The kitchen box for our sledge journeys is simply a wooden box containing two double burner oil stoves with four-inch wicks. The two cooking pots are the bottoms of five-gallon coal oil tins fitted with covers. When packed they are turned bottom side up over each stove and the hinged cover of the wooden box is closed. "On reaching camp, whether tent or snow igloo, the kitchen box is set down inside; the top of the box is turned up and keeps the heat of the stove from melting the wall of the igloo or burning the tent; the hinged front of the box is turned down and forms a table. The two cooking pots are filled with pounded ice and put on the stove; when the ice melts one pot is used to warm beans or to boil meat, if there is any. "Each man has a quart cup for tea and a hunting knife, which serves many purposes. He does not carry a fork, and one teaspoon is considered quite enough for a party of four. Each man helps himself from the pot- sticks in his knife and fishes out a piece of meat. The Alamo ore mill in the Slocan is to be repaired and re-operated.

P. 2nd Avenue and 6th Street Opp. Theatre A deal for a smelting invention, involving millions of dollars, and bringing fortune to a young Canadian, has been consummated, and the notices went out a few days ago to the fortunate shareholders in the company interested calling a meeting for the formal ratification of the agreement. The concern in question is the Island Smelting & Refining Company, Limited, which has been incorporated, and for which the charter will soon be issued. The capital stock has been placed at $3,000,000, of which $1,750,000 have been issued. A number of prominent men are interested, the executive consisting of Messrs. W. K. McNaught, M. L. A.; John Douglas, R. L. Cowan, John Ford, and R. C. Wigmore, all of Toronto, and R. E. Southby, L. G. Bennett and Dr. Forrest of Port Hope. The company controls the patents on the process invented by Dr. Island, formerly a dentist at the corner of Parliament and Gerrard streets, Toronto. He discovered the process about five years ago, and has already secured patents in the United States and Mexico, while applications are pending in all other countries. It is stated that the process will revolutionize the smelting industry, as it is available for treating low- grade and refactory ores with commercial success. It has been sub- nitted to the leading chemists of the United States and pronounced a wonderful success, part of the treatment being of a character of which they had never heard. A demonstrating plant was erected by the original shareholders at the corner of Florence street and Brock avenue, Toronto where the results have been such as to convince the most skeptical. It is shown that the metal in all classes of ore could be contracted with a bss of less than 1 per cent., and without waste, as the residue is also made use of for commercial purposes. The promotion of the company was placed several years ago by Dr. Island in the hands of Mr. R. L. Cowan, who succeeded in interesting capital, and proved the commercial value of the proposition. Mr. Cowan brought the matter to the attention of Mr. D. D. Mann, with whom he has entered into an arrangement whereby Mr. Mann will purchase the patent for the entire world, providing that the value of the process is proven beyond doubt. Mr. Mann is now putting up a 10-ton capacity plant in an old building near the King street railway barns, where a complete commercial test of the value of the process will be made. Should this result as favorable as Mr. Mann and the shareholders fully expect, he will pay the company $6,000,000 for the rights for the world. Mr,. Mann has heavy interests in mines in Moose Mountains, near Sudbury, in British Columbia, and other parts of the world, and will at once proceed to erect smelters to refine their products. Dr. James S. Island, the inventor of the process, is an Orangeville boy, who has been practising his profession in the city for some years. He is spoken of as a genius by his friends, and has many accomplishments to his credit in chemistry. He is said to be the only man who has discovered how to make fibred gold for filling teeth.

RUMOR UNFOUNDED. Ambassador James Bryce to Remain in United States. Washington, D. C, May 28.���At the British embassy today the report that Ambassador James Bryce has asked to be relieved from further duty here was characterized as a *"silly repetition of a rumor already printed four or five times." The ambassador himself refused ad- solutely to confirm or deny the report, but from other sources at the embassy the strong impression was gained that it had no foundation in fact. Unlike the American diplomatic service whose members tender their resignation at each charge of administration, the British diplomatic service is permanent, just like the civil service employees. Ambassador Bryce today denied that he had in contemplation the writing of a third volume of the "American Commonwealth", saying that the work had been completed 20 years ago. Since the death of King Edward the ambassador has cancelled alle ngage- ments to make public address at colleges or elsewhere. LIFE IN THE ARCTIC. Hardships of Tent Existence Told by Peary. "A man's first night in a canvax tent in the Arctic is likely to be rather wakeful," says Commander Peary in Hampton's. "The ice makes mysterious noises, the dogs bark and fight outside the tent where they are tethered, and as three Eskimos and one white man usually occupy a small tent and the oil stove is left burning all night, the air norwithstandihg the cold, is not overpure, and sometimes the Eskimos begin chanting to the spirits of their ancestors in the middl of the night. Sometimes, too, the new man'-s nerves are tried by hearing wolves howl in the distance. "The tents are specially made. They are of light-weight canvas and the floor of the tent is sewed directly into it. The fly is sewed up, a circular opening in it large enough to admit a man, and that opening fitted with a circular flap, which is closed by a drawstring, making the tent absolutely snowproof. An ordinary tent when the snow is flying would be filled in no time. "The tent is pyramidal with one pole in the centre, and the edges are usually held down by the sledges runners or by snowshoes used as tent pegs. The men sleep on the floor with a couple of deer skins wrapped around them. I have not used sleeping bags since my Arctic trip of 1891-92. "The kitchen box for our sledge journeys is simply a wooden box containing two double burner oil stoves with four-inch wicks. The two cooking pots are the bottoms of five-gallon coal oil tins fitted with covers. When packed they are turned bottom side up over each stove and the hinged cover of the wooden box is closed. "On reaching camp, whether tent or snow igloo, the kitchen box is set down inside; the top of the box is turned up and keeps the heat of the stove from melting the wall of the igloo or burning the tent; the hinged front of the box is turned down and forms a table. The two cooking pots are filled with pounded ice and put on the stove; when the ice melts one pot is used to warm beans or to boil meat, if there is any. "Each man has a quart cup for tea and a hunting knife, which serves many purposes. He does not carry a fork, and one teaspoon is considered quite enough for a party of four. Each man helps himself from the pot- sticks in his knife and fishes out a piece of meat. The Alamo ore mill in the Slocan is to be repaired and re-operated.

P. 2nd Avenue and 6th Street Opp. Theatre A deal for a smelting invention, involving millions of dollars, and bringing fortune to a young Canadian, has been consummated, and the notices went out a few days ago to the fortunate shareholders in the company interested calling a meeting for the formal ratification of the agreement. The concern in question is the Island Smelting & Refining Company, Limited, which has been incorporated, and for which the charter will soon be issued. The capital stock has been placed at $3,000,000, of which $1,750,000 have been issued. A number of prominent men are interested, the executive consisting of Messrs. W. K. McNaught, M. L. A.; John Douglas, R. L. Cowan, John Ford, and R. C. Wigmore, all of Toronto, and R. E. Southby, L. G. Bennett and Dr. Forrest of Port Hope. The company controls the patents on the process invented by Dr. Island, formerly a dentist at the corner of Parliament and Gerrard streets, Toronto. He discovered the process about five years ago, and has already secured patents in the United States and Mexico, while applications are pending in all other countries. It is stated that the process will revolutionize the smelting industry, as it is available for treating low- grade and refactory ores with commercial success. It has been sub- nitted to the leading chemists of the United States and pronounced a wonderful success, part of the treatment being of a character of which they had never heard. A demonstrating plant was erected by the original shareholders at the corner of Florence street and Brock avenue, Toronto where the results have been such as to convince the most skeptical. It is shown that the metal in all classes of ore could be contracted with a bss of less than 1 per cent., and without waste, as the residue is also made use of for commercial purposes. The promotion of the company was placed several years ago by Dr. Island in the hands of Mr. R. L. Cowan, who succeeded in interesting capital, and proved the commercial value of the proposition. Mr. Cowan brought the matter to the attention of Mr. D. D. Mann, with whom he has entered into an arrangement whereby Mr. Mann will purchase the patent for the entire world, providing that the value nf the process is proven beyond doubt, Mr. Mann is now putting up a 10-ton capacity plant in an old building near the King street railway barns, where a complete commercial test of the value of the process will be made. Should this result as favorable as Mr. Mann and the shareholders fully expect, he will pay the company $6,000,000 for the rights for the world. Mr,. Mann has heavy interests in mines in Moose Mountains, near Sudbury, in British Columbia, and other parts of the world, and will at once proceed to erect smelters to refine their products. Dr. James S. Island, the inventor of the process, is an Orangeville boy, who has been practising his profes sion in the city for some years. He is spoken of as a genius by his friends, and has many accomplishments to his credit in chemistry. He is said to be the only man who has discovered how to make fibred gold for filling teeth. Operations are expected to be re sumed by the British Columbia Cop per Company at Phoenix in a few days.

A damp chamois is indispensible for viping off picture frames that are mameled. Tartaric acid will remove almost any ton rust blemish from material, and is acellent [or removing yellow marks. To clean ivory, brush with a soft toothbrush, using lukewarm water.. If ivory is discolored, use a little alcohol. ln mashing potatoes, it pays to heat the milk, adding the butter to the milk, before turning into the mashed potatoes. There is no better way to remove egg stains from silver than by rubbing vigorously with a damp cloth dipped i�� alt. If a few pin holes are made in an egg shell before the egg is boiled, there will be no danger of cracks in the shell. Ii there are stains from machine oil on a white garment, rub the spots well lift a cloth in ammonia before washing nth soap, and they will disappear. Few people seem to know, when preparing dried peaches, the skins can be easily peeled off if the peaches are id to stand in cold water for severa hours. An excellent way of keeping a black leather handbag or travelling bag in condition is to rub it well occasionally With milk. Wipe with a chamois until Perfectly dry. In cleaning bric-a-brac, it is well to use a soft brush, so as to get into all the crrevices where the dust is apt Wge, The same /ilan should be followed With cups. Otherwise it is quite impossible to get the china bright about the handles. H a paint brush is stiff from paint or Wmsh, do not throw it aside as useless. Instead, immerse it from time to time �� boiling vinegar and soon it will be- ���� pliabk, Then wash it in warm ���oapsuda, rinse in tepid water and the brush is ready for use. i-'1uor licellses in Phoenix are to "reduced to five.

It is now the centre and natural hub of a vast and very rapidly developing territory. It is a wholesale centre and the three houses already established here are daily increasing their business. To those men is due much credit for they came in here when the future of the city was in the dark and distant future. But they had faith in the city and in the surrounding country. They all made a start in a small way, but the development has been so great and so unprecedented that all three have plans either prepared or underway for the erection of new and larger warehouses within the present year. Each of the firms will show their records and all are the same viz, the first months business was a few hundred dollars, while the past month their books show a turn over of many thousands of dollars. When it is remembered that the first warehouse was opened only about two years ago this expansion is most remarkable. The firms now doing a wholesale business in Prince Rupert are: Clarke & Ives, grocers and produce merchants, although the name will shortly be changed to H. H. Clarke as he has purchased Mr. Ives' interests and that gentleman is retiring. It was only in June of last year that Mr. Clarke announced that he was prepared to cater to the needs of the grocers of Prince Rupert and Northern British Columbia. That month he disposed of $500 worth of groceries and produce. In May, the month just closed he sold $22,000 worth of goods. That business has truly being going with the country. In future Mr. Clarke will make produce his specialty. Another firm is Stewart & Mobley, grocers and produce merchants. They opened a warehouse on Rupert Road in the first babyhood of Prince Rupert,. They too had a small output at first, but at the present time they send out many tons of goods valued at many thousands of dollars. They have a big staff working all the time and their present quarters are not nearly large enough for them. A new warehouse will shortly be started on the water front. J. Piercy, Morris & Co., wholesale dry goods merchants, came here in July, 1908. They put in a stock of men's clothing, bedding, small wares, etc., because they knew that that class of goods was most needed. Their judgment proved good for today they are not only holding their own, but they are out-doing the firms from the south and east. So fast has their business grown that they have had to pack stock away in several buildings. Their premises are j much too small and their new warehouse has not been started yet but will be under way in the fall. The wholesale men in Prince Rupert cater to a country 350 miles by 350 miles, and this city holds the key to that entire area. The south and east cannot undersell them, neither can they deliver the goods within ten | days as soon as Rupert firms can ! although there is only a boat service here yet. That service however, is good and it is fast. The districts being populated now, outside of this city, are upon the Skeena river to Hazelton, Kitselas, Kitsumkalum, and Port Essington, all thriving towns which cater immediately to mining camps and salmon and halibut canneries. Also to the Queen Charlotte Islands, a land rich in coal and minerals and with a wonderful agricultural future. The towns there now are Queen Charlotte City and the whaling fishery depot, Masset and Skidegate all growing and prosperous. To the North there it goes a hundred miles and more into the rich and un- estimatable mining camps of the Portland Canal district. The towns are Stewart, Port Nelson, Mill Bay and other towns up the Naas River. Then it goes into the very fertile Bulkley and Kispiox Valleys which are now being rapidly settled. Wonderful though it may seem, goods are sold from Prince Rupert to the Southern coast towns down to Queen I Charlotte Sound, or almost into Vancouver's own camp. So particularly favorable is this city situated for wholesale business that more firms from the South are coming up immediately to erect warehouses. It might also be mentioned here that there is great need for wholesale hardware, boots and shoes, and other houses of that class. The firms that come first will get the cream and the others who wait for a bigger city, will only have the milk to fight over. Prince Rupert is the only wholesale centre for the north. No other district can or will ever be able to compete. Sf^AA^AAA^A^F^A** J. Y. ROCHESTER Prince Rupert Sand AND Signs! The Optimist Job Department now has Wood Type for Signs and Poster Work. Signs.

Out of Date Ditch and Guns Lying Unmounted. "Well, this is indeed a disgrace to Canada," was the remark overheard by The Mail man this week as he stood on the edge of the graving dock at Esquimalt The speaker was a man who had traveled considerably over the world and knew whereof he spoke. The reasorf for his remark was the discovery that the great British r^aval dockyard and fort of Esquimalt was but a name, the dockyard itself of little use in cas'e of war, and the drydock fit only for the repairing of small merchant vessels. The Mail man made a few inquiries and learned that the only drydock on the Pacific coast of Canada was but 400 feet in length, 65 feet in width, and capable of accommodating vessels of 19 feet maximum draft. Therefore it was not only useless for the repairing of modern war vessels, but if a very ordinary sized merchant vessel required repairing she would have to go elsewhere than Esquimalt dockyard for accommodation. Such a case happened recently, so the Mail man was informed. A steamboat sustained injuries sufficiently serious to make it risky for her to travel any distance for repairs. She put in at Esquimalt but could not be accommodated, the drydock being too small. Finally she had to steam to Seattle, with a possibility of not reaching that port. "What would happen if a British fleet were required on the Pacific to protect the Canadian coast against a foe from the Orient?" asked the traveled man. "We would either have to go to the indignity of borrowing the use of American dockyards, or the vessels would fall into bad repair and their usefulness would be greatly impaired. Why does, the government at Ottawa, now that they have taken over this navy yard, let it lie wasting, when at a moment's notice it may be most urgently required?" There are forts at Esquimalt which are popularly supposed to guard the entrance to the Straits of Juan de Fuca and the approaches to Victoria and Vancouver For SALE Lot 19, block 28, section 5 $600 Lot 21, block 28, section 5 $600 Lot 22, block 28, section 5 700 Lots 21, 22, block 16, section 6 1500 Lots 9, 10, block 17, section 7 525 Lots 13, 14, 15, block 8, section 7.. 500 Lots 29, 30, 31, 32, blk 2, sec. 8.... 400 Lots 19, 20, 21, 22, blk 41, see. 8 .. 300 To Rent 2-roomed house, summit Ave ��� $10.00 3-roomed cottagf-, 7th Ave., sec. 5, 20.00 4-roomed house, 4th Ave., sec. 6.. .25.00 G.R.

THE IROQUOIS POOL English and American Billiards Eight Tables Centre Street But do they? The guns that are mounted in the forts, altho they are of first-class build and of the disappearing type, are only six-inch calibre, effective to a range of six or seven miles, beyond which a fleet of warships could steam with perfect safety and use their heavy guns more or less effectively on the forts. In other words, the Esquimalt forts exist not to protect the coast, but to protect Esquimalt harbor. During the Russian-Japanese war, when there was a possibility of a hostile fleet swooping down on this coast if the Russians proved victorious in the fight, the British Admiralty sent a number of heavy 9.2-inch guns to Esquimalt to command the entrance to the Straits, and a start was made to mount them in the forts. That was as far as the work went. The Dominion government took over the forts, and the guns since then have lain at the foot of the hill, useless for any practical purpose. Surely the time has come when Esquimalt should be restored and brought up to date. The guns should be mounted, the garrison increased to a standard that would be effective in case of sudden emergency, and a drydock should be constructed sufficiently large to accomrr.to- date any vessel of ordinary twentieth century dimensions. A great navy dockyard should be built in the perfect harbor of Vancouver. It is time that the Pacific coast of Canada was adequately protected. It is time for Canada to awaken to a knowledge of the helplessness of he va'u'able Pacific shores and to take immediate steps to relieve the urgency of the situation.���Vancouver Sunday Mail For "everything in canvas," go to the Prince Rupert Tent & Awning Co. ii 9-tf WANTED Applications for Chief of Police.
