Lynch Made Strong Stand for the Assessment as a City Asset. The letter of President C. M. Hays Of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, in which he offered to settle the question I of the company's assessment for the MSt twenty years with an annual! payment of $5,000, brought about one of the meal interesting of debates at last night's meeting of the city council. It disclosed the varying points of view of the different aldermen, showing them to be far from united in their ideas of what is best to be done for the city in the matter. The closing speeches were much less conciliatory than the opening speeches, due principally to the strong attitude taken on the question by Aid. Lynch. Oldest Member's Advice The debate was opened by Aid. Mclntyre, who as "the oldest member of the council," urged that negotiations be kept o|>en but not rushed. He suggested that if a railway company- were wanting to come in to Prince Rupert instead of being already here, the city might be glad enough to make concessions to induce it to come. The proper thing now WW for the G. T. P. to send down some one with power to treat with the city. The sooner the matter was settled the better as industries, he knew, were waiting the settlement oi this matter to come in. A flour milling concern had just com municated with him from Winnipeg regarding Prince Rupert on this very question. Might Work Both Ways The title of "The Nestor of the Council" was bestowed upon Aid. Mclntyre by Aid. Harrow, who thought the Premier's advice was good on this matter. If the city levelled down with the G. T. P. it might also level up with its subsidiary companies who might be considered too lightly assessed. Was It a Mistake! Aid. Naden said he, too, knew of companies and capital who were waiting to come in to Rupert. After all there was only "a little matter of a few millions" involved in the differences between the various ideas of the assessment. He strongly nnpacted that that unaccountable mistake on the part of the Grand Trunk Pacific in not putting in an appeal against their assessment at the proper court, was not such a blind miRtake after all. If the company had appealed in due form, would it now have been in a position to seek the intervention of the Provincial Governmant? "Trade Land, for Taxes'" Aid. Hilditch enunciated a plan by which the city might barter assessment rebatement for lands it required from the G. T. P., in other words "trade lands for taxes," he said. He thought the plan would satisfy everybody and everybody would be getting something they wanted. Lynch'. Strong Stand In an emphatic speech Aid. Lynch declared himself considerably less conciliatory towards the G. T. P. than his brother aldermen appeared to be. He would approach the question as a purely business proposition on purely bus ness lines. "Not for "one minute would I give them the idea that we would grant exemption fro twenty, for fifteen, for ten, for five���no, nor for even one yeur!" He said with rising voice. He wanted to see a new Court of Revision appointed and regretted that the Premier had not been inclined towards this. I^et the city collect I from the G. T. P. thc taxes they owed 1 the city. He did not approve of any | system of the bartering of one value I for another. The principle that the city might gladly encourage an outside railway- company to come in did not, he thought, apply to this question. The G. T. P. were here. They were assessed.

Lisbon, Nov. 4.���The new republic of Portugal is threatened with a military revolution. The Second and Fifth regiments today addressed a "round robin" to Provisional President Braga declaring that they were prepared for an insurrection if they were not granted the promised promotions and pensions for helping overthrow the monarchy. The government probably will yield. The royalists who have adhered to the republic demand the same rewards as the revolutionists proper seek to exact. The revolutionary crew of the cruiser Sao Raphael, which bombarded the royal palace during the revolutionary outbreak, has been dismissed. The crew of the cruiser Adamaster, which also fired upon the home of King Manuel, has refused to leave the vessel unless the men are guaranteed a pension of $100 a month each for life. In order to avoid disorders it ia likely that the government will grant all of these demands. There are bIbo troubles in the provinces where the people refuse to recognize CITY IMPROVEMENTS City Engineer Reports Sum. Due Contractors to Date The city engineer reported last night regarding the grading contracts at present in hands for the city stating the amounts due to the various contractors for work to date to be as follows: Second avenue, to S. H. Watson & Co. $2284.16; S. P. McMordie $969.74; same contractor for Section 3, $1200; for Section 4, $3174.19. To John Viereck $229.90. P. J. Swanson for work on Beach Place $1674.32; Hays Cove and Eighth avenue. Mclnnes & Kelly $3872.14. Reilly & Robarts $385.84. A. McLean for work on Fraser street, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth streets, $286.76. C. W. Tankley, piling Second street, $197.84. The report does not mean that these amounts are immediately payable. Can't Have Big Sign An application for a large sign on the Dawson Block extending over the sidewalk has been turned down by the streets committee. Only light banners can be allowed in such a position. A petition for a 16-ft. plankway on Sixth street lane between First and Secone avenues was referred last night to the streets committee. MAY TEAR DOWN DUNEDIN BLOCK CITY FATHERS DECIDE ON DRASTIC ACTION Will Give the Owner. Ten Day. in Which to Strengthen the Structure or It Come. Down���Claim It I. Dangerou. to Public. The owners of the condemned Dunedin Block are to be given the chance of either tearing down or strengthening the structure to the satisfaction of the authorities. Unless the owners do one thing or the other within ten days thc city will set a gang to work at tearing down the building, charging the cost of the tearing down operations to the owners. It is claimed by the building inspector that the building is a danger to the public and liable to be blown down in a high wind storm. The matter came up before last night's council in the form of a motion drafted by the city solicitor and put by Aid. Lynch. It was carried unanimously. READY WITH FUNDS For That $540,000 la.ue of City Debenture. Several enquiries from firms anzious to finance the proposed issue of $640,000 worth of 4 1-2 per cent debentures have been received by the city clerk, and were read at councuil last night. The issue is meantime in abeyance. But Aid. Hilditch Ha. Hi. Doubt, and They Spread to the Other Aldermen. Gurvitch'. Price. Will be Con.idered Further. Can Mike Gurvitch possibly do all the grading of Sections D and G of Third avenue at the price he asks for the work? That is the question that troubled Aid. Hilditch at the city council last nighi when the report of the streets committee was read giving Gurvitch these two sections as the lowest tenderer. Aid. Hilditch calculated that Gurvitch was $10,410 below the next lowest man on a contract of $31,000 and $6,100 below the next lowest tenderer on a contract worth $23,000. He was $17,- 500 below the city engineer's estimate for Section U, and $9,9-i0 below the city engineer's estimate for Section G. These were considerable diflerences said Aid. Hilditch and he did not think the contracts should be let to Gurvitch unless the city engineer were satislied I that he could do the work properly at the price. If he could do it, then the city was certainly getting badly stung on other contracts. But Aid. Hilditch believed that Gurvitch was only inviting ruin by tendering so low. He did not think he could get guarantee bonds in any case, and thought il almost foolishness of the city to give the contrail* to Gurvitch at all. It was only risking a pile of trouble in taking them oil his hands later. Aid. Lynch in defence of the decision of the committee of which he is chairman, said lhat if the man had put up his cheque and made his tender fairly, it was all right to award him the work. He thought it a bad principle to set up the idea that a man might quote* lowest for work and then not gel it. The pitiful picture drawn by Aid. Hilditch of Mike Gurvitch rushing headlong lo ruin over the grading of Third avenue did not appeal to Aid. Barrow. He probably remembered Aid. Hilditch's peculiar aversion to names ending with "vitch" on the city pay roll, for he reminded the council lhat if this particular "vitch" were liable to reach red ruin on the job he was certainly not going to ruin the city over the price of it. "As a matter of fact," said Aid. Barrow, "some of these 'vitches' maybe able to carry out the work all right." However, Aid. Barrow was inclined all ' the same to favor Aid. Hilditch's idea that the matter of the granting of this contract should be held over for a day or two, until the city engineer and committee have looked into it further. Aid. Naden in agreeing with Aid. Hilditch told of a small bit of contract work done for himself. The prices for rock excavation had ranged between $1.26 and $4.26 and the work was finally done for $1.50 per cu. yd. Something might be learned to the ratepayer's advantage if Gurvitch could carry out the work at the price however. Accordingly the question of Third avenue grading is delayed for a day or two. Section E contract, on Third avenue, goes to E. Horrigan unquestioned by Aid. Hilditch. THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST SAMUEL HARRISON V. F. G. GAMBLE Samuel Harrison & Co.

We quote from the The question of woman suffrage is j head lines of the Times: "Tries to Kill to be debated tonight by the Preaby- j Her Husband. Fresno Woman Shoots terian Club, which meets in the Presby-' at M��n Repeatedly. Couple are De- terian church. The meeting is open to \ voted But Cannot Agree." the public.

The ladies of St. Andrews Church are to provide the supper at the men's banquet on Thursday night. The proceeds are to go to the Church Extension Fund. Mrs. E. A. Woods will not receive again until further notice. An interesting phase of the woman suffrage movement ia the fact that objections to the proposition seem to be urged quite as freely, and even more forcibly, by women as by men. One of the most recent and ablest of the "amis" ia Miss Molly Elliott Seawell, who in a recent issue of the Atlantic Monthly deplores "the superficial and inadequate manner in which the matter has been discussed by both sides." She criticizes both sides for arguing aa if the whole revolution will be over when a woman can walk up to a ballot box and deposit a vote. Anaylsing the plea of a brilliant and prominent advocate of woman suffrage that: "Woman suffrage stands for sanitation and education," Miss Seawell proceeds to pick the following flaws in the argument. She says: First, is the universal fallacy on the part of the suffragists that all women will vote alike, and will vote right. "Second, neither sanitation nor education can be the lirst or even the moat important object of government. Good laws well administered, a pure and competent judiciary, internal order, national defense, and many other things must take precedence of sanitation and education. Neither sanitation nor popular education was known to the founders of the United States Republic; yet these founders added more to the forces of civilization than any group of sanitarians or educators that ever lived. "Third, neither sanitation nor education is a national affair, but both are the business of states and municipalities. "Fourth, sanitation and education are already well attended to by men, and as large a share of the public income ia devoted to them as the people will bear." "Suffrage" she declares, "is neither a philanthropic scheme nor an economic measure, but a registering machine. The stock argument of the suffragists has ever been, that the suffrage would enable a woman to get the same pay for the same work as a man. What they probably mean by this is, that a woman working thc same number of hours at the same employment as a nwn should receive the same pay. But it has been tested, and needs no test, that the work of women for the same time at the same employment as men is not so good in quality or quantity, and for obvious reasons. A woman cannot stand physical effort and nervous strain as a man can; nine hundred and ninety-nine women out of every thousand go into work with the fixed intention of abandoning it at the first possible moment; a woman at the period of her greatest energy is liable at any moment to make a contract of marriage, which vitiates other contracts; and women are less amenable to discipline than men." to an invitation, as is possible by the use of the telephone, saves a hostess much nervous strain. But at the same time they admit that, however formal the occasion may be, if the persona are invited by word of mouth there is a certain casualness which a written request can never acquire. It is as though Dame Etiquette said, "You may, but I wouldn't." One strong argument against telephone invitations is the danger of misunderstanding the date. This has happened more than once on the occasion of formal dinners, and one or more guesta have arrived the wrong evening. That is why an invitation so given must be followed by a written answer, in which day, date and hour are repeated. Such a communication ia regarded as imperative, even though a positive answer has been given over the telephone. Nor should there be any delay in sending such a note. The person invited should go directly from the instrument to her desk and write the prospective hostess, as though she were answering a note. If any error has been made in time, her note, containing the hour and day as she understands it, will receive an immediate response from the other woman, making right the mistake.

Tuesday, Nov. 8 ABOUT THAT ASSESSMENT With all good feeling towards President Hays and the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, the citizens of I'rince Kupert must protest against the company's assumption lhat the city is hard upon the company in regard to their assessment. That the company is entitled lo some consideration no one disputes. That the assessment is s high one, most people are agreed. But to throw the onus for the deadlock which baa arisen u|h>ii the city council is a course not warranted by the facts. What ia the actual position of affairs? In March 1909, two months before the city council came into being, au assessor was appointed by the Provincial Gov- vernment. He was not an appointee of the city council, which for two months after his appointment did not come into being. His assessment rolls were completed and handed over to the registrar on March 31st, over two weeks before the council was elected. To suggest that the council is in any way responsible for the fixing of the assessment is unwarrantable. What then was the council lo do with the assessment they inherited? From their own point of view as trustees of the people they had no quarrel with it. A Court of Revision was held in due course to hear assessment appeals. The company apparently acquiesced in the assessment for they allowed the court to end its business without entering an appeal. What were the council to do? No one would suggest that it was their business to enter an appeal on behalf of the company even were they clothed with the power so to act. It cannot be too clearly understood that in this matter the council could not take the initiative. It would have !>een a fine piece of presumption on their Condensed Advertisements.

HART UNDERTAKER A EMllAI.MER STOCK COMI'I.ETR 1 Forty tons of high grade silver ore is ready sacked on the ground of the Sunrise group of claims on Nine Mile mountain. Twenty tons more were in sight for sacking when the snow came on and overtook the packers. The snow stopped operations temporarily but camps are being built and it is intended to carry on the work on these claims during the winter in spite of the snow. This is the latest report regarding the Sunrise group brought down by Chas. O'Neill who has had charge of the group all summer. He is now in Prince Rupert, having come down river part of the way by canoe. Of the Silver Cup claims Mr. O'Neill speaks very highly. "I have seen them," he says, "and they are undoubtedly beyond the pros|)ecting stage. The Silver Cup is a mine. It is a mine in which the values run higher than those of the St. Eugenie at Moyie, H C, and I consider the Silver Cup will rival and perhaps surpass the St. Eugenie as a profitable producer. "I was very close to the Lead King group," said Mr. O'Neill, "and actually examined about 2,500 feet of this property. The silver was plainly in sight right on the surface and I could follow it along for the whole distance. They have eight men working there for the winter, and should have something good showing by spring. I may say that as far as surface showings go, there is nothing to beat this on the mountain. "That latest strike of the Harris boys��� the American Boy, on the west slope of Nine Mile mountain���gives a magnificent showing. The ore is cube galena of values running between $90 and $100. There are four distinct leads, from one foot to three feet wide, and showing these values, all well down in the timber about six miles from Hazelton. "About 400 feet on these claims have been stripped and the operations show that the coarse galena changes to a finer grain the farther down they go, which indicates a higher run of values. I consider the American Boy a particularly promising pro|>eity. "About the Hudson Bay mountains I may say that I have heard reliable reports of the very best regarding this district. There are some splendid pro|>crties giving magnificent showings there. Already several bonds have been taken out on properties there, at good prices, by men who know what they are doing, and next year will see big things, doing on these properties." GEO. T.

INSERT YOUR LAND PURCHASE NOTICES IN THE OPTIMIST SMOKING CHIMNEYS CURED STOVE PIPES ELBOWS CRUISER RAINBOW'S FIRST WORK TO PROTECT PACIFIC'S FISHERIES f I l m N ,,�� ,, .i I, i. ,i '��� <��� *�������������*.������."*"*" ' In all probability the people of Prince Rupert will have the pleasure of seeing the first of the Canadian naval fleet to reach the Pacific coast at a very early date, as the Canadian cruiser Rainbow, which reached Esquimau from England on Sunday, is to protect this coast from the American fishery poachers as an important part of her work. The fisheries of British Columbia are estimated to be worth some twenty-five millions annually, and with the present protection afforded by the government against the depredations of poachers the latter annually obtain many million dollars worth of fish. That better protection was needed is shown by an article written by Britton B. Cooke, the representative of the Toronto Daily Star who accompanied Sir Wilfrid Laurier on his recent visit to Prince Rupert. He hits the Government steamer Quadra, which is well known in this harbor, pretty hard, but not without some truth. In the course of this article he writes: She looks like a man-eater, but then she can do only the eight knots, and that is the first of the tragedy. It is breaking an honest skipper's heart. The engineer is risking wrecking his boilers and his soul every time she tries ���and cannot. And the gunner mopes over her one little brass cannon; pets her and polishes her and oils her with sewing machine oil till the crew is af ~7 They are no small fry, these British Columbia poaching vessels, but are agents of a powerful corporation in the land of corporations, the United States. They obey the masters of the Fish Trust. The Fish Trust has made them swift and has given them the Marconi machine, by which one warns the other of the police boat's approach, and with a showing of white petticoats under the stern and the wheel hard over, they get out of it, swiftly, for the open sea, while the Canadian ship drops tears from her nose as she sloshes into the sea. Probably one day she discovers a poacher hovering near the forbidden line. She watches him, scouts all his movements, and he, leading her on probably for the whole day, sends ribald messages by his wireless to the other poachers: "Have got the old battleship watching me. Fish like !" Whereupon the other poachers fish with a will, and haul out the honest Canadian halibut to be taken to Seattle and fried by Yankee housewives in New England. And this is the final cruelty of the thing. One day in the narrow channel between two islands, the "battleship" saw a poacher sneaking down the lane. It was in indisputable Canadian waters, not three miles wide. Skipper passed the word to the engineer; engineer swore lovingly, and raid he may develop a mania and lose the gunner produced his sewing machine his Witt some day. But it is of no|0'| and '���ted th* -'-tie old cannon to avail to any one of them.

She is only wood, but she has a lovely bow, with an aggressive cutwater like the lower three-fourths of the letter "S". Her funnel sits low and has a rakish slant. Her foremast gives her a grave bold front. Her decks are white as holy-stone can make them, and they have painted her a dull steel grey, so as to help poachers in Canadian waters, and she do, with only eight knots an hour, when the Pacific comes rampaging across Queen Charlotte Sound, and half a hundred of the sneaking beggars are forever sailing rings round her and making unholy American jokes about her by their wireless equipment? They say she "waddles" and call her "The Battleship"���which is a galling insult for a respectable vessel of the Department of Marine and Fisheries, and, besides, she has not any wireless and she simply can't help her eight knots an hour. The half a hundred are American poachers in Canadian waters and she is the Government's representative, stationed outside Prince Rupert to catch the sinners. Last year the halibut catch in the Canadian Islands and off the coast was 35,000,000 pounds, and out of that 26,000,000 are alleged to have been taken by the American poach- res, the fellows the Government vessel is set to catch. But she can't catch them, and she knows it, and the whole coast knows it, and the poachers know it, and that is where the shame comes in. It would break the heart of any ship. Day after day she does her best. The skipper takes her, sneaking, catlike, into unexpected places on the hunt for poachers. The chief engineer polishes her engines and fills the oil nips; and he talks violence to the stokers till they love him. The gunner, for practice, draws beads on imaginary poachers, and rubs the cannon down with chamois. But it counts for nothing. For they only see the heels of the quarry beating out beyond the three-mile limit which the International law allows, and where they can't be touched. It is written in the book of Vancouver, where she is registered, that she can do so many knots and no more, while the poachers are good for about twice as much, and can warn one another by wireless, . "Fire!" he whispered to the gunner, and the little old brass gun coughed a bit of lead across the American bows. Never a bit of heed did the Yankee show; never turned an eyelash. Skipper got red about the ears at that insolence. "Fire again," says he, after a due pause, "and get his mast this time. "Aye, aye sir," said the gunner and he prepared. Down below the engineer was petting each valve and coaxing each bit of straining steel. The stokers heaved, the boilers hummed, and the shaft took the last ounce of expansion out of the steam till the thrustcollar came near getting too hot, and the engineer opened a little more cooling water on her and listened hoplessely. He knew by the valves that she was doing her eight and no more. Outside her skin he could hear the Pacific sloshing past at the same old gait. Above, the gunner calculated his distance and the wind. He allowed for the speed of two vessels and the pitch, and then he fired. And the poacher's foremast pitched over the side. s> She heaved to, humbled suddenly. Her captain and her cook stuck their heads out and threw up their sneaking hands, so to speak, for mercy. And they received it. That was what almost finished the tragedy. For it cost over $600 to tow her and her heavy cargo to Vancouver and carry out ths departmental routine and in the end the poacher paid a fine of about $100. Of course there is an explanation but that does not save the captain or the engineer or the gunner. They never say a word. They never tell. Only the dreary monotony of the departmental reports officially confirms the story. But the Government knows that a question of international law hangs in abeyance and that It would not be wise, by the imposition of drastic measures on the poachers, to bring matters to an undiplomatic crisis. They have created the Canadian navy, and the Rainbow and her aids will do what the present vessel just now cannot do��� overawe the poachers. But It is hard Professional Cards W. L.

THE CHAVEZ EXPLOIT Some time ago a dauntless soul went soaring o'er the snowclad Alps, and folk who saw his pinions roll had tingling feelings in their scalps. He landed on the other side upon a cruel heap of stones; and shortly after that he died, a poor bruised mass of broken bones. Herioc soul! Had I the fire of Austin, I his praise would sing! But when I need it, my old lyre is sure to have a busted string. To tell the truth, that brave man's deed does not enthuse me worth a dam; I'd rather write a humble acreed about the man who paints the barn. A man may fly to beat the Dutch, across the Alps, across the sea, and not accomplish half as much as some plain guy who plants a tree.
