Wai Cause of Accident. Melfort, Sask., Jan. 26.��� Seven men were seriously injured as a n-sult of a railway collision on thc line about eleven miles east ol here yesterday. An east bound passenger train ran into thc caboose of a freight train. The engine of the passenger tore its way through the car of the freighter in which the men were sleeping. The wreckage caught fire but not before thc men had been rescued from the death trap. Travelling without signals was the cause of the accident that might very easily have ended in a terrible disaster with a heavy loss of life. The matter is being investigated, and the men on the freighter are being held as witnesses. Canada provided nothing contain- value to $21.1)81,000. SIR "BILL" MACKENZIE VICTIM OF A ROBBERY Porter of His Private Car Stripped Two Bills From a $6,000 Wad From Under Railway Magnate's Pillow���Confessed His Crime��� Was Allowed to Go. (Special to The Optimist) Vancouver, Jan. 27-An interesting story of a robbery of which Sir William Mackenzie, the railroad knight was the victim, has just come to lijjcht. The porter of his own private car waa lhe person who filched him. The story reminds one of the old saying of Carlyle that no man is a hero to his own valet. Sir William had an appointment with the minister of railways, but slept late in the morning and rose finally in a great hurry. Under his pillow was a nice little wad containing $0,000 in bills. In his haste he did not put the bills away but simply wrapped them in his night shirt and trusted tacitly to his employees to guard it for him till he returned. When the porter came to make up the room he found the roll. It looked good to him naturally, thinking lhat wh.it was gootl for the master must he gootl for the man, so he peeled off the two o iler bills anil piit the rest away. When Sir William returned he Quickly learned that his wad had diminished in size antl value. He did not make a noise, however. He employed one of his own men to investigate the matter and had the satisfaction of running tlown the thief at Windsor with the bills still in his possession. On being taxed with the robbery the porter confessed his guilt. No police action was instituted. He was dismissed from Ihe service. ________ mam r H E '/ R 1 N C K KUP I*- R I 0 '"' ��� M ��� 's'1 The Prince Rupert Optimist DAILY AND WEEKLY THE OPTIMIST is the leading newspaper of Northern British Columbia.

A Cause For Satisfaction The news announced exclusively in the Optimist yesterday that arrange- menu have been completed for the operation of a steel and iron industry in Prince Rupert is the beat pleet of news thai has been given out In this city since ever a printing press arrived. It is the best indication of I'rince Rupert's industrial future that could be given. While none doubted that with tremendous ore and eoal deposits around us such an industry was inevitable, the news that arrangements had been completed, probably came to many with great surprise. The opening of the Iron and steel industry has a moro than ordinary bearing on the development of a district. Far beyond the ordinary value of manu- facturintr Industries, it haa a value to the community at largo. It is not merely an industry in itself, it is the parent industry of a thousand other industries, which for economic reasons are forced to locate within easy access of the iron and steel output In thi-', the age of machine production, this factor is of great importance. Many large manufacturing cities in the east, such as Toronto and Hamilton, already realise their handicap through an excess of light manufacturing industries, and the difficulty through distance from ore and coal supplies of installing heavy industries, To overcome this handicap, Toronto has recently given great concessions to a smelting concern which proposes to bring ore from the Moose Mountain district on tin- new James Bay line, using imported coal on which it needs must pay a duty .Vith ores showing 68 percent. of metallic Iron and equal In qualityvto the finest Swedish ores, with coking coals and limestone for fluxes in abundance, all capable of easy water shipment, and the assurance that iron and stee' can be produced at Prince Rupert at a price to compete with tin* products *>f the Cape Breton smelters, the coming of such an industry must be a cause for great satisfaction. With such a patent industry here, the coming of other manufacturing concerns is made inevitable. AKE YOU IN NEED OF HELP* RfO"*B5J ** to bur, at "-ll* "' ttln, or lo:ln7 lry ' Optimiat Conileiiae,!

HERRING FLEET IN THE HARBOR SEA CULLS HAVE A ROYAL TIME GORMANDIZING Fish so Densely Packed That They Are Helpless -- Some Fishermen Land Good Haul, for Trouble of Picking Them UP. Prince Rupert harbor has for several days past been the scene of a terrible bBttle between the birds of the air and the fish of the sea. The herring have come in to spawn and they are so thick as almost to Impede the progress of thc steamers entering or leaving the port. Their density renders them a comparatively easy prey for their natural enemies, the seagulls, who flirt ahout the air and dart upon their helpltss victims with a callous precision that removes all element of chance. This morning at the expense of a very little trouble, the trouble of hauling them in as fast as they were able, one or two fishermen landed boat loads of them and at once set ahout having them shipped south.

COAL NOTICE Atr**_tm***m*��m*m*Pm*_m . / + + H. S. Wallace Co. f- On Wednesday niuhl the lively debate at the Methodist church, on the subject of "Government Ownership of Publie Utilities," the question was decided by a close ballot in favor of the affirmative. Mr. Walter Shaw set forth reasons for Government Ownership. He held that government as | now constituted was class government and government ownership under it cannot he carried out in its more perfect or ideal sense, imperfect government must carry imperfection in its operation. Private gfti'i on public utilities \iti- aleil ihe principle that the value of a thing lay in its adaptation to use and to the greatest possible number. Public ownership, or ownership by the whole of what was useful to the whole encouraged the best in men and reduced the temptations of selfishness and greed to a minimum. Mr. Hamblin admitted that govern- 7? ment ownership might be right but ' I practically in many cases which he ~j rited where it had been tried, it was / j tound necesMry to go back to the method ���'���"��������� of operation ol public utilities by private corporations. Mr. Button read Mr. McKay's lirief for the affirmative as the latter was not able to be present. Mr. McKay ~ held to the principle of government jj ownership, though he acknowledged '-��.'. that it had its ,'elects citing the instance locally of the electric light plant which was bt Ing so slowly constructed.

Made by Expert Specialists In the 20th Century Brand eoat shops each garment passes through, liti distinct operations, with expert specialists doing the work in each of these 2(i stages. Any of them ean do what he does much better than an all- round coat maker who may be a fairly pood tailor hut who is not a specialist in uny particular branch of the art and science of coat making. The degree of perfection that these specialists arrive at through years of practice and study in one small department of coat making is nothing short of amazing. Custom tailors who visit the 20th Century Bran 1 tailor shops (and they are always welcome) never fail to express their astonishment at the perfection of workmanship whieh this system of specialization produces. It is the old story of "Jack-of-all-trades" being master of none and giving way to the specialist in this and every other department of human endeavor.
