Will Picket Contract* By a resolution passed last night the strikers have arranged to be up betimes and have the contracts strongly picketted before eight o'clock every morning. In geneial thc attitude of the strikers towards the idea of conferences with the contractor or arbitration is quite complaisant and agreeable, but they atand firmly by the demand for 45 centa per hour. TO CONSIDER ARBITRATION STRIKE SITUATION STILL AT A DEADLOCK Mayor Proposed Arbitration and Contractora Would Agree to Thia. Men'e Committee Had to Conault Their Aaaociatea before Deciding. It cannot be aaid that any difference has been made as yet in the strike situation by the bringing together of thc contractors antl nieti through the good offices of Mayor Manson. Ihe following is the Mayor's account nl last night's conference in his own words: . . "A meeting of the contractors and the men's committee was held last night. There was a quiet discussion of matt.'rs from both sides in an amicable and friendly way, but no mutual arrangement was come to. . . "I proposed that they should submit thc matter lo arbitration Tit.' contractors expressed themselves wUUng to arbitrate the whole question without any minimum or maximum wage rate being set. The men were not in I position to agree to ����*��* g"d posals as they had only been MtTOCUal to receive any proposals made by the contractors and submit the. to a meeting.

TRAIN LOAD OF NEGROES TO SETTLE ON THE G.T.P. Say They Are the Advance Guard of an Army of Some Thousands Who Are Coming in��� Will Settle on Lands Near Edmonton (Special co the Optimist) Emerson, Manitoba, March 32.���A special train load of negro Immigrants is being held up here, while a rigorous medical Inspection is being made among them. The negroes are lieing brought in to settle on points of the Grand Trunk Pacific, near Edmonton. They were permitted to pass the boundary without being challenged by the immigration officers. As il is ihey cannot be objected to save on medical grounds, hence the rigorous examination that is being made among them. So far only two of them have proved to be below the standard of health and physical efficiency demanded by the Dominion authorities. The alarm occasioned by the appearance of the trainload of blacks had not been allayed by the Information given by members of the party that they are only the advance guard of a larger body that are to follow aft.-r they are settled on their lands. They say that there are thousands of iheir fellow Africans to follow if they succeed well on the land. MORE PRIVATE WARDS NEEDED HOSPITAL STAFF SAY THEY ARE OVERWORKED Hoapital Board Will Approach the City Council and Aak for a Further Contribution Will Try and Raise More Revenue. "We have reached this stag', gentlemen, that we have now a hospital which is a credit to the town. We are in debt for it; and ye., right at its very inception, we are up against the proposition that we need more room in it. That is the whole matter in a nutshell." At the Hospital Board meeting yesterday P. I. Palmer in these words dealt directly with the representation by the Matron lhat there is a shortage of private wards in the new hospital. Miss MacTavish suggested that without a great deal of expense thc large Maternity Ward might bc subdivided into a seiies of small semi-private wards which would in a measure meet thc need, and the House Committee of the Board have already taken steps to arrange for this. Mr. Scott was inclined to think that the large wartl should be more permanently partitioned off than is the Matron's plan, but the opinion of the Board is that it would be a little premature lo undertake this alteration at present. Further financial aid from the city is counted upon by thc Beard, and yeaterday afternoon a committee consisting of the President, O. H. Nelson, and P. I. Palmer was appointed to wait upon the city council on thc sibject. President D. C>. Stewart was also anxious that an effort should be made to enlist further sulsicriptions from those citizens and newcomers who have not as yet been approached. He appointed a committee consisting of himself, with Messrs. Clark, Palmer, Thompson and Kirkpatrick to attend to this. Assistant Secretary William Wright with Mr. P. 1. Palmer were deputed t ��� assist at the Choral Union Concert in Helpful Talks to Business Men Mr. Storekeeper Do You Know? That the best advertised store in this or in any city wouldn't change places with the second best advertised store for any consideration whatever I part aid of the Hospital Fund tonight. Mr. Palmer reported that the sale by sale by dollar ticket of the Slot) Prince Rupert club Debenture gifted to the Fund, wits making surprising progress and he had hardly any tickets left for sale though extra ones had been printed. In future the Assistant Sectctary will bring in a fortnightly financial report, and report of Hospital affairs, This will be due on the first and fifteenth of each month. Other dutits of the Assistant Secretary will be detailed more particularly at a subsequent meeting. Staple drugs required at the Hospital will as far as possible, be purchased from local firms. A recommendation by the House Committee lhat prescriptions filled from Hospital slock, be charged extra was agreed to. It was again pointed out by members of the Board that the Hospital Si all is at present very hard-worked Indeed. The Matron has for some time now- been pulling in almost continuous duty, nevei sure of any reasonable spell off duly for sleep or recreation. All the nurses are working at least fifteen hours a day, and though another nurse is expected by the Camosun on Friday, another still be will requited. The Matron is in communication with an applicant who may bc here shortly. Copies of the three local newspapers arc being supplied to thc Hospital fiee of charge, and the Secretary was Instructed to write to the proprietors of the Journal, Empire and Opiimist thanking them for tlie courtesy. PERHAPS FRANCE MAY ARBITRATE PRESIDENT TAFT SUBMITS PROP- OSITION TO AMBASSADOR It is Likely That France Will Wait and See What Briliah People Do With the Propoaition to Arbitrate. (Special to the Optimisti Paris, March 28. It is learned here that President Taft has approached M. Jusserand, the French ambassador ut Washington, with a view to arranging a comprehensive agreement between ihe tinned states and France whereby any differences between the nations will be submitted to a court of arbitration. A similar proposition has already been submitted by President Taft to the British people, so it is unlikely that the proposal will lake any definite shape until it has lir<t been SCted Upon by the British people. If the Anglo- American proposal is adopted it Would gu a long way to pave the way for an agreement between the United Btatai and France.

The Optimist DELIVERED TO ANY ADDRESS IN SECTIONS 1, 5 AND 6 EVERY DAY FOR 50c PER MONTH Memoirs of a Noble Woman What Mr. Carnegie called the "two foulest blots" on our nineteenth cen- lury civilization were the owning of mun by man and the killing of man by man���slavery and war. Slavery has been abolished from the world, but the scourge of war remains. It is a significant fact that the two greatest books that have been written against slavery and war were the novels of two women���"Uncle Tom's Cabin," by Harriet Beecher Stowe, and "Die Watfen Nieder," or "Lay Down Your Arms," by Bertha von Suttner. Mrs. Stowe is dead, but her work is accomplished. Baroness von Suttner still lives. Bertha Kinsky was born at Prague in 1842. She was a descendant of a long and distinguished Austrian military family. Her father, who died before her birth, was a retired major general in the Austrian army. Though in no sense an infant prodigy, she appears to have been an unusually intelligent and fun-loving girl, with a talent for music inherited from her mother. As she came into her late teens she was evidently brilliant, beautiful and fascinating, for the inevitable romances and offers of nun ri age ensued. "The right one," however, did not yet appear. Her musical education had been such a drain on her mother's slender income that Bertha now resolved to support herself. She accordingly took a situation as instructor and companion to four grown up daughters in the baronial house of Suttner in Vienna. Living at home with his parents and sisters was Artur Gundaccar von Suttner, then a youth of twenty-three. Though Bertha was twenty-nine, a friendship soon sprang up between them which rapidly ripened into love. The four sisters were in the secret, but "Papa" and "Mamma" Suttner were not told, as an alliance, from the Suttner point of view, was absolutely cut of the question. Finally the parents learned of the affair and Bertha was requested to leave. Having come across an advertisement whichread, "A very wealthy, cultured, elderly gentleman living in Paris desires to find a lady of mature years, familiar with languages, aa secretary and manager of his nousehold," she applied for the position. A favorable reply was received from Alfred Nobel, then forty-one years old, the famous inventor of dynamite. Bertha started for Paris after a tearful farewell from her lover. She began her new work bravely, but the "unendurable agony" of separation had the same effect it had had ten thousand times before. Bertha left the Nobel establishment, returned to Vienna and eloped with Artur. The parents would not forgive, so the brave young couple went to the far distant Caucasus, where for nine long years they lived in happy and blissful poverty. Here began a marriage as beautiful as that of ihe Browning", which ripens ed with the years and was only broken by the death of the beloved husband in 1902. During the period of exile the happy pair supported themselves by giving lessons in mu ic and languages and by wri.ing. Thc products of thi ir pens were soon in requisition in all thc leading papers of liermany and Austria. Finally the paren.s relented ami they came back to spend the rest of their days under the ancestral roof. From now on the devoted couple's chief object in life was to promote the cause of universal peace. "Lay Down Your Arms" had already made the baroness known ull over Europe. She and her husband were accustomed to attend every year the meetings of the international peace congresses and the sessions of the interparliamentary union. She became the editor, with Fried, of the leading Austrian peace organ and that brought her into correspondence with many of the greatest writers, philanthiopists and statesmen Of Europe and wiih a ll the peace advocate-? of the world. During this period she had kept in correspondence with Alfred Nobel, and it was she who suggested to him the founding of the great yearly prizes in peace, Ikerature, phyi.ics, chemistry and medicine which bear l.is name. Later she was herself crowned wilh the Nobel peace prize, the only womun yet to receive it. Since the death of her beloved hunband she is still carrying on tie w..rk to which they both consecrated their lives. Her fume will rest on her two supreme qualities, her beautiful love for her husband and her unswerving devotion to the cause of peace.

She is the steam trawler Coquet of Abet- deen, Scotland, brought across the Atlantic as the result of a scries of accidents. While in her regular station she wan caught in a northeast storm with a temperature 20 degrees below zero, which froze up her wet gear. Hy the time she had been thawed out and gotten under control, she (was so far out of her course that Captain Craig decitled to head for New York. She tf the first of her kind evei seen here, and her high bow, strange gear, lofty pilot house amidships and long engines house drew a continual crowd of longshoremen and seamen to her dock. She has u big catch on board. O.O.O. IS PROGRESSING On Thuniday night the Ordi r of Owls meets for the last time in the Carpenters Hall.

Box X. 67-tf Wanted Why Not Help the Poor Parent? The suggestion made in this column a couple of days ago that it was a wise policy for the Hospital Board to decline to raise their rates for maternity cases was not lightly taken. The issue is one related to the more important considerations of govemment. Even reciprocity is of less consequence to the upbuilding of a country than the birthrate. In its local considerations the increase of the rate might result in the hospital treatment being rendered impossible for some who most need it. In its national aspect not only the patients but the nation at large would be the loser by the result. The state's interest in the health of the individual is a very real one. The individual is a part of the state. The natural affection between parent and child has blinded the eyes of the mass to the fact that the stale's interest in the child is greater than that of the natural parent. The state's interest is economic. The children are a part of the state. Without a continuous supply of children the state dies. They are more important to any nation than transcontinental railways, or steamships or mineral wealth. One of the amazing things���one which will bring merriment to the readers of history a couple of thousand years hence���is the peculiar way in which the nations have hitherto ignored their function as the Over-Parent. They have given bounties for steel and iron and sugar industries, guaranteed bonds for railways, subsidised steamships���and penalised parenthood. And upon the best of parents��� thc hardy, disciplined men and women of the working class, the penalties fall the heaviest. The rewards of industry have been so apportioned that the worker frequently has little assurance of a competency during his working life. While most men are well able to support a wife, the coming of every child constitutes a tax upon the worker's resources, for which he gets an affectional, but no economic return. Society seems to have organised itself into a conspiracy to make life hard for the average man with a large family. Even the landlords refuse his money when he wants to rent a shelter for his brood of youngsters. The state, whieh is waiting to impose a tax on the earning power of his boys and girls the moment they go to work, stands idly by, and watches him struggle to rear children for the state to absorb. Small wonder that the modern family tends to the light housekeeping type. In some enlightened age the state will come to the aid of the parent, and from selfish motives help to carry the costly burden of his family, just as it now offers to his children a more or less free school education, on the theory lhat it pays the nation to educate the children. The principle has already been recognised by the state, and grants are made to various cattle and poultry associations to encourage their industries. Later on it will In- recognised that the idea may more profitably be applied to the human species. In the meantime the Hospital Board did well to refuse to increase the cost of hospital treatment. The pity of it is that the hospitals should ever be short of funds, or be obliged to seek support like some sort of poor relation, on charity, A self-respecting state would scorn to have its sick members in any way dependent on charity for medical attention.

T. Griffin of the C. P. R. Vancouver, March 22.���If the movement of immigration to the prairie provinces comes up to expectations this year, the last of the free lands will be gone. Such is the prophecy of Mr. F. T. Griffin, C. P. R. land commissioner, who is in the city at present on a visit Mr. Griffin says that over 200,000 people went on the land last year, and the influx for the coining season is now in full swing. The present indications are that Great Britain and the United States will contiibute about equal numbers of immigrants, though a considerable number will come from Germany, Austria and Scandinavia, and of course the eastern provinces of Canada will contribute a good percentage. .To show how rapidly the prairie provinces are being settled, Mr. Griffin points out that during the past two years 20,000,000 acres of government lands have been taken up by homesteaders, apart from sales by che C. P. R. and the land companies. In the year ending June last the C. P. R. land department sold 1,000,000 acres at an average of $15 an acre. This included irrigated lands which were sold at twice the figure named. Of the original C. P. R. land grant of 28,000,000 acres, but 7,600,000 are left. The growing scarcity of land has prompted a big movement into the Peace River ountry, and other districts north of Edmon.on, and the railways find great difficulty in keeping pace with the advance of settlement.

Mr. James Tells of the Hudson Bay Company's Vast Extent 111 the Presbyterian Church Hall last night Rev. Sir. James of the Anglican Church read a most interesting paper on the Hudson Bay Company. He showed how tremendous has been the effect of this great company's Influence in the development of Canada. The very word "Canada" as he pointed out, being symbolic of that development. Originally the word meant a little village of the Huron? on the river Si. Lawrence. Now it stands for the mighty range of the whole grand Dominion. And the Hudson Bay Company- have done much to pioneer the progress of that development from Canada the village to Canada the continent-embracing Dominion. G. R. Naden presided over a will attended gathering, and the cordial thanks of the Presbyterian Church Club were extended to Rev. Mr. James for his address. CHAMPIONS HAREM SKIRT | Says He Was Looking for Name Plates in a Flat for His Secretary When White Man Came out and Beat Him. New York, March 20���Booker T. i Washington wits not able to appear in i ccurt again today because of the injuries | he received the other night at the hands I of Albert I'lrich, a carpenter who is 1 held in $1500 bail. I'lrich, a white man, maintains today ihat he was acting within his rights when he pursued the negro educator for several blocks before a policeman appeared. Ignorant of the negro's Identity, he declared that his wife had complained to him of a negro she had ! met in the hallway of their flat house in Wesl Sixty-third street. Mr. Washington, who was sent to Elewer hospital where sixteen stitches were taken in his scalp, asserted that his mission to that neighborhood was perfectly legitimate, and that he had been made the innocent victim of an atrocious assault. Mr. Washington, who went to his apartment at the Hotel Manhattan after his wounds were dressed, told the police that he had received a letter from his secretary saying that D. C. Smith, thc auditor of Tuskagee college of which he is the head, was in New York and desired to see him. "This letter said that Mr. Smith was slopping with a cousin, giving the name and address," said Mr. Washington. "On Sunday I attended church services twice and after speaking at one church in the evening, I recalled the letter concerning Smith, and decided to look him up. But I discovered that I had left the letter at the I hotel, but I thought I could recall the I name as something like Moore and the | address as being in West Sixty-third street. I went there and commenced to look at the name plates on the letter boxes in the halls of the different houses, seeking the name of Mr. Smith's cousin. It was while thus engaged that 1 was attacked." Ulrich, in an interview said, "My wife said she had seen a negro in the hall and that# he spoke to her. I went out and saw a man in the hall of the vestibule door ahead of me." Ulrich said he saw the negro re-enter the hallway and later saw him bending down and peering through the keyhole Harry Furniss Prefers It to Present Microbe-Gatherer London, March 20.���Harry Furniss, the artist, champions the cause of the harem skirt, in a statement in The Times. He suggests that it should be made a permanent fashion, as, from the point of view of commomsense, comfort and hygiene, the garment is far preferable to the present microbe- gathering costumes. Instead of the "harem," however, he would call it the "ankle" skirt. C. P. R. PRESIDENT SAILS Will Place Orders in England for Two New Pacific Steamers New York, March 20���Sir ThomasG.l Shaughnessy, president of the C. P. R., and Giflord Pinchot were fellow passengers on the last trip of the steamship Celtic. Sir Thomas said the Canadian Pacific company contemplated spending about $34,000,000 the coming year on improvements and extensions and while in England he expected to place oidere for the building of the new two ships for the Pacific trade, running between Vancouver and the Orient. These steamers will be about 10,000 tons each. Sir Thomas said he thought the general feeling in Canada was not favorable to reciprocity.

The profits to investors in Town lots in all Grand Trunk Divisional and Terminal Points will astound the world. Buy now. Ask Uncle Jerry for price lists and full information. LAST YEAR REAL ESTATE OWNERS IN Western Canada MADE $100,000,000 From thc moBt accurate figures obtainable, over One Hundred Million Dollars was made by real estate owners in growing cities and towns of Western Canada last year. This vast Wealth was exclusive of improvements and represented actual increase in land values alone. Original records gathered by the Winnipeg Free Press prove that in eight western Canadian Cities the value of land alone���not counting improvements���increased 562 per cent, for the last five years���an annual increase of 112 per cent, for each city during the last five years. These figures indicate that investments in !ive, growing cities in Western Canada are as safe and sure as an investment can be, and that 100 per cent, profit each year is almost a certaintv. THIS YEAR THEY WILL UNDOUBTEDLY MAKE $100,- 000,000 MORE You have an opportunity now to participate in these immense profits by being one of the original purchasers of town lots in the Grand Trunk Pacific addition to the fast growing Western Canadian cities, otherwise known as Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Division Points WATROUS, MELVILLE, WAINWRIGHT, BIGGAR The Grand Trunk Pacific offers in these splendidly located, fast growing Division Points and in the townsite of Tofield an opportunity for the investor to share in the large profits that are sure to accrue as a result of the rapid and substantial growth that characterizes Grand Trunk Pacific Division Points and well located cities and towns in Western Canada. The Grand Trunk Pacific does not offer townsites or additions so located as to make investments in them of questionable value. The object in selling these lots at the low prices at which they are offered is to encourage the upbuilding of these cities from which the Grand Trunk Pacific will derive vastly more benefit th in from the sale of lots. Now is the time to buy. Choice lots range from $100 upwards on easy payments of 10 per cent, cash and 10 per cent, a month. You make your purchase direct and secure title from the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company. Write for literature and make your selection while the prices are extremely low and the possibilities unlimited. Address Land Commissioner Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Co.

Kugler, "Uncle Jerry," Agent for Grand Trunk Pacific Lots on Main Line. Prices are fixed by the Land Commissioner and our best services are at your command.���Ask Uncle Jerry, P.O. Box 906, Prince Rupert. I told you that Barnum is supposed to have said that the American people love to be humbugged. I also said it was a lie. Even if Barnum did say it he knew he told a lie, for HE never humbugged the American or any other people. He was the Father of the modern circus and he gave a better show every year; he gave the people more than they ever expected--HE GAVE THE PEOPLE THEIR MONEY S WORTH. And Barnum succeeded well. He died a very rich man and in his life he mnde people laugh, a great accomplishment. His success was due entirely to the fact that he gave the people their money's worth. And that is the key to the success of any business. 1 made it my motto when I struck my first job many years ago way back in Missouri. That is my motto yet.and that is the motto of the Co-Operative Realty Company. Don't imagine my business is too big for you and that you would rather do business with a smaller firm. The smaller firm may do as much for you, but there is no "may" about me. I will. I am never to busy'to talk to anyone. I am on the constant look-out for an opportunity for someone. I may have one for you or you may have one for someone else. I havo several hundreds of these "Bomeones else" wanting to find there opportunity here.
