ICountess Tolstci was admitted to the Ik room at midnight and remained fctil the final moment. She had herself ���0 striken with illness and had passed four days without food. She was prostrated mentally and physically by the fact of her husband leaving his home, and her illness came to such a critical stage that she received the last sacrament. It was after this she astonished her physicians by demanding to be taken to her husband, and she would listen to no objections. The countess therefore journeyed to Astopova, accompanied by M. T. Tcherkoff and her two sons. Countess Wat Too Late It was sad for the countess that after having obtained entrance to hei husband's sick room she was too late to have speech with him. But the shock came when she was informed that no church service over the remains would be permitted. She swooned away and the physicians were for nearly an hour apprehensive that she was joining her husband. Those in close touch with the family of the novelist say that at the time of his leaving home Count Tolstoi felt the approach of death, and that his disappearance from home was influenced by a desire to spare his family pain from the complications that might arise at the funeral because of his ex-communication by the Greek church. Prince Obesanski, who first gave to the world the news that the count had abandoned his home secretly to seek solitude, pointed out that Tolstoi was deeply interested in the legends of Alexander I, who did not die when he is supposed to have done, but passed many years in Siberia under the name of Kusmitch. Had Gone Away To Die The mind of the great Russian scarcely could have conceived a more tragic ending of the two lives which have been interwoven for half a century. Overcome with fatigue while attempting to continue his pilgrimage form the monastery at Shamardino to the Caucasus, where he had hoped to spend his last days with the Tolstoian colony on the shores of the Black Sea, his body lies today in a miserable hut at the railway flag station at Astopova, his countess, faithful to the last, beside his bier. At last reports the physician had grave doubts of the recovery of the countess.

A MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE Some excitement has been caused in town by the disappearance under mysterious circumstances of "Doc" Morgan, one of our best known and most popular of Prince Rupert's citizens. A week ago he was seen to embark for the north with a gun, an open air sleeping outfit with hot water in every room, a camp stove, two cans of preserved pineapple and a genial smile. A rumor got started that he had embarked on a Polar expedition to settle the Peary-Cook controversy, but last night he reappeared, explained that he had merely gone on a shooting trip to Georgetown. He invited a large number of his friends to take supper with him tonight and arranged with the hostess of the Tea Kettle Inn to have the goose in readiness to greet the company. Up till a late hour this afternoon neither the goose nor the genial "Doc" have been seen, and their friends are getting anxious about them.

FIGHT ABOUT A GIRL Two Men Killed and Several Wounded in Battle of Armed Men The value and urgent need of publicity work was drawn to the attention of the Board of Trade at iu monthly meeting last night and discussed with a great deal of interest, but when it came to the selection of the committee to take the matter up one after another of the members named courteously but firmly declined to serve, even though some of them had spoken in favor of such a course being taken. The matter was introduced by a letter from Mr. Von Dohlcn, former secretary of the Prince Rupert Publicity Club, addressed to Mr. Law. He suggested the appointment of a secretary who would act as secretary of the board and also as secretary of the Real Estate Exchange, and devote his best efforts to publicity work under the direction of the Board of Trade. He had a good publicity man to suggest in W. R. Hull, who would expect a salary of from $150 1 to $176 per month. A latter from Mr. ' Hull, applying for the position, was also read. A Novel Proposal Mr. Law's suggestion was to get at least forty people in town to guarantee ; to subscribe $5 per month. This would | give a salary of $160 per month, and a j little over for office rent and so forth. Mr. H. H. Clarke, former president of | the Publicity Club, said Mr. Law's j ideas were good if they could be carried out. The Publicity Club had done a lot of good work and such work was now more necessary than ever. The proposition to employ this man was all right, but the board should be sure it was going io get the money before it hired the man. Cat a Civic Grant Aid. Naden thought Mr. Law's suggestion a good one, but in regard to the Real Estate Exchange, they had now an exceedingly good secretary. If they were going lo appoint a publicity man he might be secretary of the Board of Trade and then the Board get for publicity purposes a vote from thc city council of say $1000 a year. Mr. M. M. Stephens Agreed that the combination would have to be between the Board of Trade and the city council as the Real Estate Exchange was very well satisfied with its secretary. He thought the burden of the expense should be borne by the people of the city, as the Real Estate Exchange had (Special to the Optimist) Mount Kisco, N.

Blamed the Merchants J. H. Rogers said if they referred to the membership of the Publicity Club they would find that the merchants had not done as much as the real estate men, in fact many of them had refused to join or to subscribe at all. Later, in discussing the question of funds Mr. Law pointed out that they could not expect a good man for such a position to collect his own salary. Mr. Tite said the city had been canvassed for subscriptions very much this year, and he thought if the matter was left in abeyance until the new year better results could be obtained. Finally a motion was put to appoint a publicity committee but when the president mentioned one after another for such a committee, each one named declined. It was thereupon decided that the president should appoint the committee at his leisure.

ZANARDI WATER POWER Board of Trade Withdraws Objection To the Scheme Alderman Barrow sent a letter to the Board of Trade, which was read at the i meeting last night, stating that the city council had withdrawn its objections to . the use of Zanardi Rapids, and asking! that the board take similar action. A unit ion was passed that the board formally withdraw the objections filed in the matter. not do to be in a hurry about the matter. He said the time was hardly ripe yet for such a course of action. The large ships had simply been bringing in supplies for the railway. It might be all right so far as they were concerned, but it might deter the American boats, which carried their own pilots, from touching here. For the next two years there would be very few large boats coming here except for the railway, therefore he thought any action at this time would be premature. Captain McCoskey replied that the charge to the coasting boats would be small in any case, and those local steamers might be entirely exempted for awhile. Vancouver Might Get It Mr. Tite asked if there was real danger of Vancouver obtaining jurisdiction of the waters at this port. Captain McCosky said there certainly was, as the captains of the big ships had applied to Vancouver for pilots, understanding there were none here, and Vancouver would have to apply to the Dominion governemnt for an extension of jurisdiction in order to be able to supply such pilots. -To Forestall Vancouver J. H. Rogers thought it would be a proper move to forestall Vancouver. He thought it would be within the power of the pilot board here to make the pilot charge for American boats so small that it would not dicer them from coming here! Also, as had been pointed out, the large deep sea boats really demanded pliots, as otherwise they could not get reasonable insurance rates to this port. He believed now was the time to recommend the appointment of a pilot board for Prince Rupert. There were plenty of men here who had captain's papers that could do the work and not interfere very much with their present occupations Withdrew His Objection Upon this Alderman Naden withdrew his objection and Mr. Clarke moved that the board petition the department at Ottawa for the establishment of a pilot commission at this port. This was seconded by Mr. Rogers and the motion carried. One Solitary Drunk Before Magistrate Carss this morning John Costello appeared charged with having been drunk.

Many washouts are reported on transcontinental lines and the whole train and telegraph service is generally disorganized. Condemned Says He I* Prepared for the End and Ha* Confidence Proof* of His Innocence Will Come to Light���Execution on Wednesday. (Special to the Optimist) London, Nov. 21���Hawley Crippen broke down and wept this morning when informed that the home secretary had refused to intervene in hi" case. He was brought from his cell into the warden's room and the document was formally read to him. He stood with quivering lip for a moment and then sunk limply into a seat und burst into copious tears muttering to himself. After this period of hysterica had partially subsided the warden gave the order to take the condemned back to his cell. As the turnkey placed a hand on his shoulder he pulled himself together, raised his heud und in a fairly firm voice said: "I am prepared for the end. I shall die firmly convinced that proofs of my innocence will eventually come to light." The execution is to take place at nine o'clock on Wendesday morning. The warden accompanied the prisoner back to his cell and before leaving him said that any reasonable request he might | make would be granted. The condemned ! said he had only one to make ut present, which was that Miss Le Neve might be permitted to see him. The warden said this privilege would be accorded to him and he might see other friends. It was rumored on Saturday that Miss Le Neve had sailed for Montreal, but this rumor has net yet been confirmed. Vancouver, Nov. 21.���Though the rain was heavy here yesterday no records were broken and no particular damage was done.

Small damage was done but it caused a temporary panic among the school children. FIGHTING IN MEXICO COUNTY COURT TODAY Action Under Mechanics' Lien Act Settled Five Hundred Said to Have Been Slain in Three Day* (Special to the Optimisti Laredo, Tex., Nov. 21.���Three hundred rebels are marching on San Carlos today, all well armed. The plan of the insurrectionists is now to move on Chihuahua and to capture that and make it the headquarters and base of supplies. It is claimed they have five thousand supporters in the city, with ammunition and supplies for double that number. It is reported that in the fighting of the last three days five hundred men have been ilain, but the facts are difficult to obtain owing to the strict censorship. Brought Back A Goose "Doc" Morgan, the last west rep- I resentative of the Toronto Globe, re- 1 turned last night from Big Bay where he has been the guest of G. LaF. Peck, ! manager of the Georgetown sawmill. | "Doc" put in a week with the shot gun and rifle and wired daily reports to the Wanderer's Club of the fight of his quarry. The deer proved very timid and the ducks and geese very wild. His host, however, says tbe wires exaggerated the report, because the geese were not as wild as his guest suspected. It transpires that Gains has u trio of geese which a native caught and tamed, and one of these fell a victim to "Doc's" eye and gun. The bird is to be the piere de resistance at a dinner party this week. WILL REMOVE THE WAREHOUSE More Room at Wharf for Regular Stemaers Judge Young gave decision in the case of the Prince Rupert Sheet Metal Works and T. Trotoeur, an action raised under the Mechanics' Lien Act for a sum of money. The debt was admitted but thc question of costs was disputed. Judge Young, however, upheld the claim for costs. Several chamber applications were dealt with this morning. Billiard Room Changes Hands H. E. Ross has taken over the Frisco Billiard Room on Third avenue and added two box-ball alleys. The interior is being remodeled. It is the intention of Mr. Ross to nuke this a first class place of enjoyment for ladies and gentlemen. The place has been renamed the "Yakima." The extension to the Grand Trunk Pacific wharf is practically completed and tomorrow the large warehouse, in which there is the office of Mr. Mc- Master, will be removed to the new structure. The extension will give room to dock any of the regular steamers coming in here and will thus reduce the frequent congestions at thc present wharf.

The Optimist DELIVERED TO ANY ADDRESS IN SECTIONS 1, 5 AND 6 EVERY DAY FOR 50c PER MONTH Women and Snobbery That the American women are the greatest snobs on earth is the point blank assertion of a woman writer in the Chicago Tribune. More than that she argues the matter, and from some of her argument would seem to include the women of the charmed circles in our own Canadian cities. The fear of losing caste she declares is the obsessing fear of their lives. "Why, I have some good friends," she declares to whom social life is agony in the fear that every move they make may not be according to the rules prescribed. "Said a charming young woman who had left college with a string of brilliant attainments in her wake, to teach school in one of Chicago's newly rich suburbs: "I can't stand it any longer. I am of good birth, good training, good education, yet because I work���because I have sense enough to make my own way ���they make ol me a social outcast. I don't want their society, it isn't that, but I'll not be patronized by overdressed, overfed, underlrained women who ask me ii�� make gentleman and ladies out of their offspring, yet treat me as if I were beneath their feet." Dr. Anna Shaw says the American women are the most conservative of all their sex, and gives as her belief that the reason therefor is this fear of losing caste. "In the foreign countries a woman stays where she is born, no matter what she may do," explains Dr. Shaw. She declares that it is the rich women who fear lest they be crowded out l>y women of talents who make life hard for other women. "It is- this brand of American woman���and with the onrush of great fortunes she is growing as a class so much more rapidly that any other who endeavor to set aside all self-supporting women." Women As Geographer* The twentieth century is showing many new avenues for women to follow. The wife of the celebrated Arctic discoverer, Peary, is a woman who dared to meet the climate and spend a winter in the Arctic regions. A Canadian woman of the west, Agnes Dean* Cameron, in six months passed over a journey of ten thousand miles: but even her record has been surpassed by the wife of an American engineer, Mansfield, who made a journey from the Cape of Good Hope through the continent of Africa to Cairo, a distance of 16,728 miles, in seven months and this she did without being accompanied by a single white person. She travelled many hundred miles on foot or in a hammock fastened to a pole which was carried by natives. The natives were greatly attracted by her and were disposed lo give her almost higher than human honors. But it is to be remembered lhat this traveller was preceded by Lady Baker through central Africa and by Miss Kingsley, niece of the canon, who with a small body-guard of natives, entered upon the dangerous gorilla country of western Africa. This lady ran the i risk of being eaten by cannibals. A very rich lady, Mrs. F. Sheldon, went around lhe world when she was only sixteen and afterwards did the same thing on two occasions, and ' then gained a great name by her explorations in Africa. She is the first lady appointed to be a member of the Royal Geographical society. She even exceeded Stanley in her African jour- neyings. and entered into the study of African folk-lore by joining the terrible blood brotherhood of a number of the fiercest African tribes. What Women Are,Doing Miss Belle Honan, one of Irelands wealthy women, has given $50,000 to Cork University to establish free scholarships. The New Jersey Federation of Women's Clubs will establish a housekeeping station, where all the new aids to housekeeping will be tried in the demonstration kitchen, and those worth while will be recommended.

Cen���.1AM( Four young women won the city scholarships in Philadelphia for the University of Pennsylvania, and as it happened they were all the women who applied for them. That speaks well for the girls, and is only another instance of the success that women have when they compete in the schools with men. A bill wi'l be intruduced into the Wisconsin Legislature asking for votes for unmarried women, for widows having property and for women having a college degree, and the Milwaukee Suffrage Association will advocate it. They believe it is best to begin with modest demands and that unlimited suffrage may come later. For the Housekeeper Match marks may be removed from white paint by rubbing with cut lemon. To forestall further marring smear the spot lightly with vaseline. When cooking cabbage, the unpleasant odor may be avoided if a piece of charcoal, stale bread or a tiny bit or baking soda is added to thc water. Rust on steel can be removed by rubbing sweet oil well into the surface. Let it stand two days; then rub the steel with unslaked lime until surface is clean. To mend a sifter or sieve that has a hole in it, use a large needle and coarse thread and darn back and forth across the hole as one would dam a stocking. Fish that is to be broiled or fried will be enriched in flavor if it is spread well with olive oil and lemon juice and allowed to stand for at least an hour before cooking.

Count Jacques de Lesseps met Miss Mackenzie at the Toronto aviation meet. He is a son of Count Ferdinand de Lesseps, the famous French engineer. RUMOR IS DENIED Sir Wilfrid Contemplates No Change in Naval Policy Ottawa, Nov. 18.���It is stated in ministerial circle* that there is absolutely no foundation for the story published in Eastern papers to the effect that the government proposes to modify its naval policy as a result of recent political events. Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his colleagues say thay are satisfied that, while there is undoubtedly considerable opposition to the navy in Quebec at the present moment, it will pass away when people learn that they are being misinformed by Nationalist orators.

Nov. 21 THE HONOR OF THE COURT AT STAKE With the publication of the leading article in last Saturday's "Empire"���one of the most amazing utterances in the history of Canadian journalism���an issue, petty in itself has been made the occasion to perpetrate a grave contempt on the judiciary of British Columbia. The issue is no longer a question of whether a petty account for printing is correct or not. It is now the honor of the courts of British Columbia that is at stake. What ste|>s His Honor Judge Young or the Attorney-General will take to vindicate the dignity of the court and punish the perpetrator of so grave and deliberate a contempt, is awaited with interest by the people. That the contempt was deliberate and uncalled for is evidenced by the writer's own admissions. The facts of the case according to his own statement are, that following a dispute with the city authorities over a bill for printing, the writer of the article instructed his solicitors to issue a writ against the city. By his own action he appealed to the arbitration of the court. It is common knowledge even to the schoolboy, that during the period that an action is before the court pending a hearing it is improper und contemptuous to make nny public comment upon it. Certainly the law that prevents comments upon matters which are sub judice is well known to every journalist. But not content to await a fair trial of the issue before the courts, the writer of the article referred to, has seen fit to issue to the public a lengthy statement, calculated to inllume the public mind, and subvert the ends of justice. The writer of the article well knew that no court would permit him to use an action over a trumpery printing account, as a means of delivering a slanderous attack against any individual member of the Council. Was this the reason why the article was penned? If a slander is such that no judge would permit it to be uttered in open court where the accused iKTson would have the opportunity of reply and cross-examination, how much more heinous an offence is it to utter that slander in the columns of a newspaper where the accused person has no opportunity of reply. Thus to make of an editorial column a "cowards' castle," is a degrading of one of the noblest and most useful of professions. Unless the courts and public opinion step in and make such reprehensible i onduct impossible, it means that any man may buy some wretched sheet and so minded straightway embark in business as a professional blackmailer. Such conduct is the more wicked, because any journal well-informed as to the eal facts of the case may not print a defence of a person slandered under such circumstances, without itself coming under the law. Fortunately the courts in our sister-provinces have repeatedly vindicated their dignity under such circumstances. The eyes of the people of Prince Rupert are now turned to see what action our courts will take in the present case. At lust our contemporary has revealed the cause of its complaint. It is angry with the City Council for not paying what the Council apparently believes is an exorbitant bill. Is this the journal that aspires to sway public opinion? Perhaps the gifted editor of the Charlottetown Guardian, (Prince Edward Island) who recently made the brilliunt suggestion that Canada annex the state of Maine, will oblige by telling us hew to go about it. The latest gentleman to be appointed, by rumor, to the post of High Commissioner of Canada in London is Sir Hugh Graham. While Sir Hugh would make an excellent High Commissioner, Lord Slrathcona seems to be very much alive and capable. One of his most recent acts was to donate an additional sum of $600,000 to the Struthcona trust fund for teaching physical culture and military drill to the school boys of Canada.

The system of flat residence is likely to become very popular in this city especially when flat residences are made as attractive as those in the fine new Clapp Building just being opened up for occupiers by the Westenhaver Bros. The building itself is a handsome and substantial frame structure. The ground floor consists of a splendidly spacious store on each side of the entrance stairway. These stores have roomy basements equal in size to the stores themselves well built and lofty. One of them is already occupied by the enterprising firm of Stalker & Wells, whose fine stock of groceries and provisions looks particularly appetizing. The flats above are far more roomy and airy than most one story dwellings. Each flat has spacious recaption and living rooms, bedrooms bathroom and kitchen fitted with all conveniences, including oue of the most up-to-date cook stoves. The windows command magnificent views, and there is a wide veranda at the back of each flat, roomy, yet perfectly secluded. Already these flats are being rapidly let, their convenience and comfort attracted early enquiry. Imperial Agency Change* Hands The agency for the Imperial Oil company is now in the hands of G. W.

It HOSPITAL VARIETY SHOWER Arranged by Miss Angus Stewart When New Matron Meets Ladies Miss Kate McTavish, the newly appointed matron of the Prince Rupert General Hospital, is at present in the city. In order that she may have an opportunity of meeting the ladies of the Hospital Auxiliary and all interested in the work of the hospital Mrs. Angus Stewart has arranged that on Thursday 24th, she will hold at her home a reception and variety shower for the hospital between the hours of 3:30 and 5:30 p.m. The Matron will be present and all ladies desirous of meeting her and of helping along the hospital by contributions to the variety shower will be welcomed as Mrs. Stewart's guests. Mrs. Stewart's plan at first was to hold merely a linen shower, but by extending this to a variety shower for which all sorts of articles likely to be useful to the hospital are eligible, it is hoped that the cause will be still more largely helped.

Vancouver, Nov. 14.���Operations at the big pulp mill at Swanson Bay, over 400 miles up the coast, are to bc resumed shortly. Improvements to the plant are now being completed. In addition $100,000 will be expended at once in remodelling the company's sawmill there. The proposition is owned by British capital. The original company was recently reorganized under the title of the Swanson Bay Forests, Wood Pulp and Lumber Mills, Ltd., with a capitalization of $3,000,000. A party of directors returned yesterday from an inspection trip to Swanson Bay. Its members comprised Mr. W. Maclachlan, chairman, London, Eng., Mr. J. W. Robson, Newcastle-on-Tyne; Mr. W. Mackarell, resident Canadian director, Ottawa, and the manager, Mr. James Wood. Under the recent re-organization the capital consists of 300,000 pounds of debentures and 300,000 in shares. The entire issue was mainly underwritten by private individuals connected with the London Stock Exchange. The visiting directors are well satisfied with the outlook for the company after their visit to the plant, siad Mr. Robson in an recent interview. "New screens are being installed, and operations will be resumed within a few weeks," he continued. "The output will total about 7000 tons of : sulphite pulp a year. The company j recently shipped 500 tons to San Francisco. The quality of spruce on our 1 limits enables us to make a pulp which is equal to the product of Eastern ��� Canada and Scandinavia. All the shipments made to Japan and other markets : have satisfied our customers. The company owns nearly 90,000 acres of spruce forest with a good percentage of merchantable timber. "We are now remodelling our sawmill at a cost of about $100,000. The new plant will consist of an Allis- Chalmers band mill and a Mercham resaw as well as other machinery, and when completed the plant will be one of the most eomplete in the province with a daily rapacity of over 80,000 feet. The limits are located on tidewater, ensuring easy and economical logging operations.'" More Capital for Province Mr. Robson intimated that members of the party are also looking over the field here with a view to making other investments. He expressed amazement at the great growth of Prince Rupert since his visit there a year ago. He regards it as a city with a wonderful future. In his opinion the proximity of the fishing banks would alone ensure the building up of a big industry and a large center. He looked for still more rapid development with the advent of railway communication across the Rockies.

WHALING AND ITS BIG PROFITS TEN WHALES PER MONTH IS GOOD BUSINESS Mackenzie and Mann Will Greatly Extend Scope of Industry���Will Have One New Station at or near Thi* City. Victoria, Nov. IS.���Whaling is destined to be one of the big industries of the North Pacific Coast. The romance clings no longer to the business; and the profits are larger; one firm which took 580 whales and had $96,478 profit, has since doubled its scope and will take at least 1,100 whales this year and have not less than $200,000 profit. Future developmentments are to be made upon a large scale. Messrs. William Mackenzie and D. D. Mann, respectively president and vice-president of the Canadian Northern railway, and who have during recent months become financially interested to the extent of millions of dollars in the coal and copper mines and lumber industry of British Columbia, have bought out the Pacific Whaling company and have a big scheme for enlarging ita operations. Shark- fishing and halibut-fishing will be side lines. In 1907 the Kyuquot station was built, practically a replica of the station at Sechart, but it has the advantage of being nearer to the ocean. The cost of each of these stations was $85,000. A third station was built at Page's Lagoon, near Nanaimo, from which the whalers were operated for a time during the winter months in the Gulf of Georgia, but the work there was not as satisfactory as out on the open sea and the station at Page's Lagoon has been dismantled. In 1910 the Rose harbor station was constructed at the southerly extreme of the Queen Charlotte group. One company pays a fee of $900 yearly to the Dominion Government. Two licenses for illations on the northern coast of British Columbia have been held since 1907, and an effort made in 1908 by a Norwegian syndicate to secure a station on Valvert Island off the northern British Columbia Coast, failed. The Ottawa Government refused a license to the concern, stating that its policy was to give licenses only at the rate of one in every hundred miles of coastline, and the coastline is pretty well taken up. In 1910 the Pacific Whaling Company increased its capital to $1000.000, and under the new ownership of Messrs. Mackenzie and Mann the capital is to be further increased to probably four times that amount. Since its establishment the industry has been a most remunerative one. In 1907 the work paid the stockholders a dividend of 14 per cent on preferred and 7 per cent on the common stock and the following year the shareholders received 18 pef cent on preferred and 11 pes cent on common itock. The dividends next year are expected to be much larger, thc catch being anticipated as over double that of the preceding year. To make the business pay a catch of ten whales |>er month would be sufficient; the roast whalers of Vancouver < Island think ten none too good an average for a week's work. The steam whaler Orion has brought in as many as eight in one day. Daily the steamers come back at nightfall with four or five mammals moored alongside of them.

Did I forget to give you a rubber blanket?" secret service agents and officials of the immigration department here are looking for a large number of Chinese who have recently been smuggled into Canada. At the labor convention held at Fort William, Out.. the sensational statement was made that thousands of Chinese are annually being smuggled into this country. The traffic is said to be a most profitable one, and as high as $300 each is being paid for successful entry into the Dominion. In recent years the government agents have kept so close a watch upon the United States border that it is almost impossible to land the Chinamen in Canadian territory without detection. Now, however, since the automobile has come into almost universal use it is authoritatively stated that the celestials are dressed up as women and under the guise of "joy riders" are successfully shot across the international boundary.

Down in the business section a corner lot was recently sold for $26,000. Graft Hill commands perhaps the most magnificent view of any residential section of any city on earth. To the north and west are the deep forests of almost indescribable greens, kept in a state of perpetual freshness by the moist atmosphere. Then to the south are the snow-capped mountains, dazzlingly beauiful! in their eternal greatness. Vancouver, Nov. 18 ���"Smithers is a bore." This was the reference in the correspondence between Mr. Moreton Frewen and Mr. C. M. Hays, by the former to the then vice-president of the Grand Trunk railway, now chairman of the board. It was read this morning in the Appeal Court in the appeal brought by Mr. Fewren for a reversal of the judgment of Chief Justice Hunter, dismissing his claim for specific performance on the part of the Grand Trunk railway of an agreement to sell him 1000 lots in Prince Rupert townsite, or, in the alternative, pay damages running up to half a million dollars. The agreement is contained in letters passing between Mr. Frewen und Mr. Hays, now president of the Grand Trunk, general manager when the negotiations opened, und there is that candor, refreshing or otherwise, about certain of the latter* which uttnehes to communications which it is expected will never be read in public. One of the letters refers to an editorial which Mr. Frewen is to write for the San Francisco Chronicle about Grand Trunk securities, and Prince Rupert townsite, which will be later reproduced in London, and coming from such a distant center, will wear the appearance of being impartial. In another leticr he says the newspapers approach him for news, and i he tulks of I'rince Rupert, from which he hus returned. This publicity work, it is claimed, is part of the original agreement by which he is to interest capital in the townsite. Thc whole case turns on whether the letters contain a complete agreement, whether the plaintiff is not burred by the Statute of Frauds, because the letters left the prices of lots to be fixed and the selection lo bc made, and was, therefore, not a complete agreement. The plaintiff relies on a letter in which Mr. Hays says that the prices will be fixed by their officials as soon as their survey was complete, and the prices charged him would be at least no higher than the public will be asked to pay. He contends that this means the reserve prices set on the lots at the Vancouver auction, not thc prices the public puid, and at which 1000 lots, not of his selection, were offered to him.
