Had there been any truth in tht m Aldtrman Pattullo d, dared hi would himself drmnnd the resignation of the city engineer. But the insinuation that Colon. 1 Davis would lend himself to using his department for elections ring purposts was a mean attack upon one who from his position was unable to come out in self deft nee. Because there Were some 40 men set to work inrly in January to do culvert work, etc., Aldciman Newton got seeing a nigger in the fence. "Thnt nigger," said Aid* rman Pattullo "has betn setn on the fence for the last six months." As a matter of fact il was the n.-w council who has raised the staff to 133. Replying to this Alderman Newton declared that if then- was any difficulty over th? attitude of the press a certain gentleman who had taken exception to him ovtr the telephone franchise, was himself to blame foi it. "I have very serious misgivings," said Alderman N'-wton regarding tht appointment of c.rtain men on th** city pay roll. But wo are all liabl* to mak. mistakes.

Mr. McLeod. Thc address was mainly an introduction to the subject of criminal sociology which he intends to discuss wi.h tht: club at later dales. Tht firsl quistion to be nnswered was who was the criminal? Tht criminal waa the abnormal man and the starting |>oint for th.ir study must be a conception of the normal man and of normal social relations. In dealing with men and women hc aaid that experience trains one to recognise certain manifestations of men- tnl action and habit as normal while othirs struck the shrewd observer as eccentric and \*i ,-uliar in all the varying degr.eh from oddity and slowness to imbecility or mania. After treating elaborately of the phasis of criminology, its i.���latum to society an.l the normal mind he said ihai habitual criminal** were divided into two classes, tht aimless vagabond and the professional There Were criminals by passion and criminals by occasion and they had their sets and classes lik. other branches of society. (Special to the Optimist) Victoria, Feb. 14.���The Budget was presented to thc Houri yeaterday by the Hon. Price Ellison, the Ministi r of Finance. In presenting his statement ihe Minister announced tha, the liquid a sets of the Province would be sufficient within the year to wipe out lhe whole of the bonded debt of the Province which at the end of last year stood at $9,616,800. Hc expected the surplus revenue this year would be over $2,- 500,000. During ihe summer two experts will go over the country lying be.ween Prince Ruper, and Hazelton to study the soil, precipitation and climate, with a view to determining which variety of treea, cereals, and crops generally, could bt most successfully cultivated in that territory. He also announced the re-adjustrm n, of taxa ion throughout the Province by means of a commission. Ht- was looking for a general reduoion. Ho placed the products of the variou.' Industrie*! of tht Province for ihe past year at $100,402,000 and divided It up as follows: Manufactures $35,000,000. Mining $17,160,000. Timber $27,160,000. Agricultural $14,:ii��9,0O0.

CITIZENS MUST LOOK OUT It la lmpoaaible to Guard the Danger Pointa FOR AN-UP-TO-DATE RUPERT City Engineer Will Inveatigate Civic Methoda Down Below Permission has been granted by the city council to Colonel Davis, city engineer, to go down to Victoria to obtain information regarding various details of city work which can b.��st be seen in actual operation. A city scavenging system for Prince Rupert is one of th,- matter' to be enquired about. Colon?l Davis will probably have by the Prince Gaorgc on Thursday and may b> absent for a week or two. The claim for $700 damag.:-. press, d against lhe city council by L. Patmore nn behalf of a man namtd Olscit who fell into a sewer cut and broke his ankle is not recognised by the city. Thi sewer was a government contract. In discussing the matter last night Aldtrman Hilditch said: "It is up to th>* citizens to take care of them.-elv.s when the city is in its proaont slat, under construction." Reasonable cartas far as may be is taken but to guard every dang.rpoint is impossible." CITY SOLICITORS' DISCHARGE Claim Entered for Month'a Salary in Lieu of Notice MOOT!. Williams & Manson have claimed from the city council one full month's salary as city solicitors on tha ground that their services were dispensed with without the month's notice to which they were entitled when the new council got busy with the broom. Alderman Hilditch believes that ihe Municipal Clauses Act gives the city power to fire any employee without notice; but in the minutes dealing wilh the appointment of these the firsl city solicitors for Prince Rupert one month's notice before their services could be dispensed with is expressly stipulated for. The finance committee had recommended that Messrs. Williams & Man- son be paid up to the end of January, but last night's council decided to refer the matter back to the committee for further investigation.

There is no economy in buying a shabby or out-of-date article simply betause it is cheap.

BOX 1545 PRINCE RUPERT, B.C. The Knack of Buying Tho old woman who bought a sentry- box because it might come in useful some time had not even the excuse of the man who snuppe-d up a bargain coflin-plate. His thrifty soul did not flinch before the realization that some day ho would require it- though most of us prefer to leave such melancholy accommodations to the good offices of the undertaker, whoever he happens to be. The amount of money that people fritter away on things they can do without very well is astonishing; -and the first aid to frittering is thu bargain counter. Every bargain counter shouid be- approached, as the Greeks used to say, with even mind. lis contents should be surveyed sanely and coldbloodedly, even as one looks u|x>n a new relation, and with no regard to the placard proclaiming a slaughter in price from $4.60 to $2.98. As business and philanthropy do not go hand in hand, some good reason usually lurks behind the sweeping sacrifice. The article may be shopworn, out of date, or of poor color, or there may be faults in the make or the material ���there may be many reasons'. A standard article commands its market price at any time, and is the most satisfactory in the long run. Thc most objectionable stuff found on bargain counters is tawdry finery- soiled chiffon ha's trimmed with lly- spee-ked cotton roses, neckwear that has lost its freshness and will not wash, tarnished scarves and passementeries, gaudy belts and llashy hair ornaments, spotted and fancy gloves of unsaleable blues and yellows and terracottas, exaggerated and out of daio veils, etc., etc., etc.���-all pitfalls fur the unwary- first aid to the friu.rir. If one's income is limited (and, indeed, in uny case), it is good a idea to ask on.self before taking the final plunge at a bargain counter some such iearthing question as, "Do 1 really need this?" "Is it worth that much to The Aeroplane Treatment The long flight of M. Farman has suggested to Dr. Edouard Toulouse the utilization of aviation in the cure ol diseases. He says: "The physician has here a new- physical agent, which may bc called altitude. Without exciting the muscular action, it stimulates tho heart functions and modifies the rhythm of respiration by reason of thc rarefication of the atmosphere. "People with nervous or cardiac affections might well take to this passive species of gymnastics, so to apeak. Better still, ill persons can find in aero plane flight perfect sunshine, pure air, and thc exhilarating calmness which even Egypt and the Rivera cannot afford. "Light at great elevations has peculiar qualnies. It is richer in the ultraviolet rays than at the sea level. The uhraviolct rays have an intense antibacterial effect. The coolness of the upper air may operate also as a tonic, lis purity is far gr.a.er than at ordinary levels." Dr. Toulouse predicts that the airship will play a large- role in the therapeutics of the future. Sails (or Vancouver Victoria AND Seattle mm p.m. Thursdays, at 8.30 ���a.

Tuesday, Feb. 14 The Work of the "Patronage Committee" The one bright spot at last night's council meeting was tho protest made by Alderman Hilditch against ihe Optimist's criticisms. The point was not w.ll taken, ii was not genmane to the issue,cheOpumist's words were nol even correctly quoted, but tin incident was chirring nevertheless. The matter arosi* over the action of Aldirman Newton's eolleagu?s in settling the Empire'.- account for pn-int-orporiition printing which ihe la-t council rofused to pay alleging ihat the prices charged Wire exorbitant. Even Alderman Newton's colleagues admitted that there was no hope of their valiant friend being able to collect the account in the courts, and used this amazing circumstance as a ground for taking the matter away from ihe court, and paying Alderman Newton's bill in full. The Optimist in comnien,ing on the matter said, -'To make a payment of $250 to one of their own number, on an Be ount which they admit cannot stand in a couu of law, sounds perilously like malfeasance of ollice." Il was this statement which aroused Alderman Hilditch's ire. His protestations are encouraging. It is a bad thing when a man's publie conscience gets calloused. Bu, now that ihe Council with the exception of Alderman Pattullo has agreed to withdraw its defence to Alderman Newton's action, in the face of legal advice, and in ihe clearly expressed knowledge thai thc account was not collectable at law without large deductions, the Optimist can only repeal, "To make a payment of $250 to one of iheir own number, on an account which they admit cannot stand in a court of law, sounds perilously like malfeasance of oflice." The council ought not to hand out public money to their friends under such circumstances. The Opiimist is reluctant to touch on these matters, but it is a duty not to be shirked. The next item of business after passing thu Empire's account last night was a rei-uist from the Empress and Majestic theatres for a lowering of their license fits from $200 to $100. It is no secret thai the theatre interests are virtually vested in Alderman Smith and Kirkpatrick. This indeed was admitted. But Alderman NuWtOn, after having been helped to $250 most of which it was admitted he had no legal claim to���promptly turned in to go one better. Ho had heard that tht theatre licenae fee in Vancouver was $60, so he projiosid that the city clerk write and find out. If ii proved to be $60, then he moved lhat the Empress and Majestic licenses he reduced to $60. The argument for high licens. that Prince Rupert has but two houses to ihe fifty or more of Vancouvir, he inverted and asked for a reduction "because there are only two of them." To thc onlooker it Certainly looked like a game of "You scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours." Th.: matter was emphasised by the refifcal of the council to make a grant to the B. C. Anli-TuberculoBis Society- an institution that is doing a noble work��� on the ground that tht, council had no money. After donating $250 to Alderman Newton, proposing to rebate cither $200 or $280 to Alderman Smith's and Alderman Kirkpairick's companies, they turn round and plead that they cannot send $25 or $50 to the Anti-Tuberculosis Society. In informing the council thai iheir actions in regard to the distribution of patronage and in looking after one another's intt rests do not impress the public favorably, ihe Optimist is doing a service to the council as well as to the public.

But lhat presumption seems to have been premature. Kansas is a typical agricultural state, and is alt>o 'insurgent.' But to judge from the comment of 'The Topeka Capital" on the Canadian agreement, Kansas is not going lo oppose racipro- city because of its supposed threat to the farming interest. 'The Capital' said last Saturday: "As the opening wedge to more lilxral general trade relations thc administration has honored itself by its persistent efforts resulting in this agreement, now subject to tho action of Congress. If that action is favorable, the Taft administration in establishing reciprocity with Canada will have performed an act of farsighted statesmanship and an achievement of policy which will be historic. "The reciprocity agreement is attracting widespread support because it is truly national in purpose and aims ai results beneficial to the whole country."

Taylor, the solicitor, who claimed $2,000 for services rendered in connection wilh the incorporation. It la understood that Mayor Manson has advised the payment of this amount rather than contest the total sum charged in th:* law courts. The best promise of Prince Rupert lies in the faith of her business men; and it is a valid promisi because the faiih is above suspicion. The enterprise of the business men is not to bc confounded wiih ihu speculation of the stock gambler; the former is th,1 courage of honest industry anticipating the demands of a growing community, the lauer a bird of prey sucking ihe life blood out of the earth. It is therefon wiih a high degree of pleasure and pride that Prince Rupert welcomes the inauguration of a new or the extension of an oltl business concern. An Imposing Structure One of the most recant enterprises ! to gladden the eyes of the citizens of Prince Rupert is the great new store and warehouse iructed on First avenue wiih its "ulterior" facing the bay, for J. Piurcy, Morris Co., wholesale dry goods and clothing. It is an imposing structure, modern, commodious, utilitarian, and one to be proud of. It is ranged alongside of the great block erected by the Kelly-Douglas firm of Vancouver and with it shares the honor of being one of the largest warehouses in the city. It is split in two, Messrs. Stewart & Mobley occupying one portion, with lhe balance of floor space in favor of Piercy-Morris on account of the lay of the land. Entry First Avenue I The main entrance is by First avenue, * where the fifth, or top floor, meets the i grade of the street. The rear of th. ! building is in line with the G. T. P. tracks running north of Center street, j and in order to avoid any alterations in the future, car.' has been taken to : have the basement floor on the level ; of the cars. Thu advantage of this course may not bc very apparent in the mean- i time as the intervening space between the line and thu warehouse is not built ' in but wilh an image of lhe completed '. wharf in one's mind it is easy to under- j Stand the value of the point. Clerical Department Besides being used for the display j part of the house the top floor will ' accommodate the clerical department ! for which branch of the business a | generous portion haa be^n clipped off and raised a semi-flat higher. It is GOOD NEWS FROM STEWART New St. ike on Portland Canal Mine Last Week in hen- thai thi luad work will b> performed. The scenic via*** over the harbor from this part of the house is entrancing. Whether it will inspir th�� staff to juggle batter with numerals is a question that remains to be seen but it is beautiful, Sound and Solid With the exception of the flooring, tho window sashes and doors the whole structure is built of Giorgetown lumber. An 0,is elevator wiih a carrying capacity of one ton will conwy all the shipments from the floors abova to thi basement where ii will be an caiy mattir either to have them pui aboard the steamer, or aboard the trains whin th.> line is operating for that purpose. Business Expansion The now season is just about to commence and the firm is laying in a big stock of dry goods. It il their firm belief that bu-in.ss will be three tim?s gnater during the incoming season than it was lasl season. Their only regret is that the means of transportation will not have increased to accommodate thc expansion. For the shipment of their goods up the river to Hazelton and other places they have to rely on thru- river boats; and last year's traffic was sufficieni to strain them to the utmost. By next summer, however, it is hop.-d that ihe line will be running as far as Hazehon and that will facilitate the business of Messrs. PLrcy-Morris a great deal. Commendable Enterprise They are a firm thoroughly conversant with the conditions of trade in this part of the country and that has given them a great advantage over their com- po'iiors. For their cntorpris-> in n-jen- ing up a new and magnificent store th.iy (Lserve all the commendation that is coming to them for while it will certainly benefit themselves it will give an added distinction to the city, and through that medium to the citizens. Just back from Stewart, Mr. Samuul Harrison brings word that what is dc- soribed by Mine Manager Elmundorf as one of the largest sheets of ore yet discovered in the Portland Canal mine was Biruck the other day in No. 3 tunnel. The face is in five and half feet of solid oa*. and theru aru 150 feet of backs. Dri Is aru now working i a ihree-foot face of solid ore, and a total of twelve test a day is being put out by thu minu. Mr. Harrison also mentions tl at tho raise from the Red Cliff main tunnel to the upper workings being made by Supt. McPhte shows very good values Indeed. While at Stewart Mr. Harrison saw landed the Camosun's consignment of 10,000 ties for the newly nam <t Can- adin North Eastern Railway���the Por.land Canal short line which is expected to make very rapid progress this spring.
