Mr. Kerr Gave First of Series of Sermons on Big Subject���Theatre Packed to Hear Him ���Explained the System "Socialism is ftrsi of all. a Irotcst against the wrongs which tt know exisi iu society. Soli.ilisin is not a system thai siys re -hall have free love doing away tith the family or home love, which our very life. Socialism docs jtoi say thai all things shall be reduced lo one dead level. It sloes lay lhat as a system we shall Vol foster extremes, It says if man does not work neither shall ���>��� eat." This was the keynote of the RCrmon, lhe first of a series oil |Vi i.ilisin, given last night by Rev. Wa Kerr. Before proceeding I with his subject he offered an explanation of why he had chosen lo speak from lhe pulpit on such -i secular subject as he classified it- "Socialism" he said, "is hc- (oming a religion with some people, and, therefore, 1 feel justified in dealing with it." Will Have Open Discussion Then Mr. Kerr said he had been asked to enter into an open discussion on the subject some nighl in the week. This he said he Would do and would be pleased to answer any questions sent to him during the week. The answers would be given on the (ollowing Sunday. So much interest had the announcement of tlu. M-rinon at- tracted that the Empress Theatre which does duty as the Presbyterian Church on Sunday was packed to overflowing. 11 was a splendid address, ll showed thai serious study had been given to tt Continuing With the sermon Mr. Kerr showed the various grades of society that exist today. "Sonic I'Ve in hovels, some live in castles," '"' said. "Some people say So- Not This Week The S. S. I'rince Kupert will not come here this week. She is having some slight trouble with her boilers fixed. The Prince George will be on her regular run and arrive here next Saturday. The Prince Rupert will be in shape to resume her run mext Monday.

WILL RETURN TO WORK AT OLD RATE OF WAGES Resolution Was Passed at a Mass Meeting of the Men Last Night Decision Was Unanimous���Letter Notifying Mayor of Men's Decision Forwarded This Morning ���Brief History of the Strike The strike between the street I departments of the P. R. 1. A. cialists are a bunch of soreheads and malcontents. This may be true in some cases. There is always a scum element in everything and this element stands out as ihe most prominent and is pointed at by people as the advocates of the system. Socialists of Best Blood The speaker commented on the opinion some business men held on Socialism. These men must be careful about calling Socialists soreheads, etc. "It is nol historically true that Socialists come from the lowest strata of society. They are born of Teuton blood, born from thc higher, not the lower strata. "Socialism does not mean the reduction or doing away with industries or commercial enterprise. Socialism is a system of economics thai wants all the natural productions such as land,| timber limits, instruments of in-| dvistry, etc., owned ami governed by the state, instead of being owned and governed privately." In conclusion Mr. Kerr explained that many of the complex questions of the system would right themselves just as all other natural economic laws have done when thc system comes. The great difficulty,, he said, of its introduction is because there would have to bc administrators of the system a \d these men would have a grand chance to graft, consequently men arc unwilling tO trust one another owing to the lure of gold. Then an appeal was made from the spiritual standpoint t" look lo Him who is claimed as the greatest Socialist Ile who di< not respect personal property as some would have liked Him to but held other things of more value workmen and contractors is ended. At a meeting of the members of the P. U. I. A. last night it was decided to call a truce to all hostilities, and on the motion of William Fraser a resolution to thai effect was put and unanimously carried. A letter of which the above is a copy, was drafted and conveyed to the Mayor this morning, notifying him of the men's intention, ln this lhe men were true to their expressed principles to win or lose but accept no compromise. Representative Gathering The meeting last night in tinmen's hall was a very representative assemblage. All nationalities involved were given the opportunity of expressing their mind on the matter, and the fact thai the resolution embodying the letter as above was carried unanimously goes to show that the feeling of the strikers is well settled. Fraser Makes the Motion The initiative in putting the motion was taken by \V. Fraser, who expressed the feeling of the meeting that the Organisation should be kept going in a healthy state, and lhal the best defence possible should be put up for the men who are to undergo trial. P. R. I. A. as Formerly Arrangements are being made to carry on the work of the P. R. I. A. as formerly, that is to have separate meeting nights for the men of each nationality) ami lo Continue lhe educational branches of the Labor movement, developing the library and recreation Hall. Funds for Defence Funds for the defence of the men to be tried are being collected, from workmen here and Uf) river, anil are being sent in from outside organizations. Story of the Strike The history of the strike which ends today can be briefly given. At the time of the January Municipal Election the first mention was heard of a 45 cents per hour wage scale for common labor. When the council came in the members of the P. R. 1. A. drew attention to the high of living in prince Rupert', particularly for wearing apparel for laboring men in the ditches, etc. After considering the arguments put forward by the men the council made an arrangement by which men in the cily employ, all except a few on very light work, should have 45 cents per hour. In the street grading contracts let to the various contractors a minimum wage rate of 87 1'2- cents per hour was stipulated for. The P. R. I. A. which by this time numbered about 1000 strong, made a demand that the contractors should pay the same scale as the city. This was refused, and by a very large majority arrived at by secrei ballot the P. R. 1. A. members decided to strike. They struck on March 1st. Efforts at Settlement Since then the dispute has been maintained by both sidis in determined manner. Efforts made by the city to bring the contractors in line with the 45 cent rate resulted in nothing. Effort made by the contractors to bring in labor failed, tlie newcomers frequently joining the P. R. 1. A. Thc strikers maintained themselves by fishing, and ran a kitchen department at their hall. When attempts were made by the contractors to start men, lhe strikers visited the jobs, and persuaded, or prevented the men from working. At Mclnnis & Kelly's cut on First avenue the most difficulty orccured. On one occasion a few- workers engaged there under police protection were practically crowded off the cut, and U. Gosden, a member of the P. R. 1. A., was arrested in connection with the affair aril sent to Westminster for a three months' term. Finally on Thursday April (Uh, after a big parade of the P. R. 1. A. around the town at which all station work was Stopped, the Kelly contract was visited apparently as an after-thought, and a sharp fracas occurred between lhe pi klice and the strikers. Stones were thrown, and revolvers used. Several of the police and strikers were injured, Wound up the Strike Thai nighl fifty members of the P. R. 1. A. were arrested, and held in custody. The P. U. I. A. Hall was taken charge of by the police, and the Association almost entirely disorganised. Re-organ* isalion efforts were begun partly by the Longshoremen's I nioii. and after various meetings ami mass meetings in the cause of labor, the result announced today has been attained.

B. Bush & Company 2nd Ave. Prince Rupert Tonight when the Council meets it is to still further consider thu question of how liesi to exterminate the rats. This is a Imk question aiuljmuy easily become -i bigger, The damage to crops and mer- chandise^done by rats in England alone last year has been estimated at $85,000,000���much mon.' than a king's ransom. To assist the people of I'rince Rupert in thuir efforts to exterminate the rat, the Optimist has secured from Dr. Elmer li llcg, Commissioner of tlie Hoard of Health of the State of Washington an article on the subject. The, hints given are based upon the experience of Seattle and oilier coast Assays cities in dealing with the rat plague. Ur. Iley urges that efforts be taken to prevent the rats from gelling food. He says that besides limiting reproduction, scarcity of food will make the measures to destroy the animals by traps, poisons, or bacterial cultures far more effective. The general rat-prooling of buildings is the most important Btcp in limiting the food supply of rals and garbage or offal of any kii d must be so disposed of that rats cannot obtain it. Among methods for driving away rats thai have proved useful under some circumstances are the following: .. 1. freshly slaked lime placed dry in all burrows .md runs of rats. 2. Freshly made thin whitewash poured into the rat burrows. 3. A strong solution of copperas (.ferrous sulphate: sprinkled in the runs and burrow entrances. 4. Chloride of lime, loose or wrapped in old rags, placed in burrows and runs. 5. Cas tar d.iubed about the burrow entrances, 0. Powdered red pepper scattered in rat runs and burrows. 7. Caustic potash placed in the burrows and runs, ln addition l>r. Heg suggcsis the plentiful use of wire traps, pref-j erably of the guillotine variety.

At These ^^^^^^^^^ , in a feed store, meat. as possible, food other than the bait should be inaccessible while trapping is in progress. The bait should be kepi fresh and ai tractive, and the kind changed when necessary, H.iiis and traps should be handled as little as possible. Ordinarily, traps should be frequently cleaned or smoked. The use of artificial scents, as oil of anise or rhodium, on tlie bait is advocated by many, bul their importance has been exaggerated. About sixty years ago a writer in lhe Cornhill Magazine gave details of a trap by means of which il was claimed that 3000 rals were caught in .i warehouse in a single nighl. The plan involved toiling the rats to the place and feeding them for several night.- on the tops of barrels covered wilh coarse brown paper. Afterwards a cross was cut in the paper, so that the rats fell into the barrel. Reports are frequently made of large catches of rats by means of a barrel ti 11��-< 1 with a light cover of wood, hinged on a rod so as to turn with the weight of a rat. This is a work which should not be left cntircl) to the council to cope with.

C. in which the G. T. P Railway Company Has Announced its Joint Ownership Look at the Map Ellison, you will find, occupies the stragetic commercial point which seems bound to command all the trade of the Interior tributary to Prince Rupert. It is where the steel rails or the transcontinental railway from the Atlantic touch the salt waters of the Pacific on the navigable waters of the Skeena River. As a port it will be second only to Prince Rupert in the northern part of this province and is also second to this city as the only other townsite in which the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and the Government are jointly interested in which lots are offered for sale. WHAT ARE WE HERE FOR? We are all Pioneers. Not here for our health, but to make money. No man ever saved more than a competence on a salary; few do that. To get a footing on "Easy Street" you have to invest. DOLLARS don't grow in your pockets, or in a stocking. They must be put to work. Old Russell Sage said: "Plant a few in a new country and see how fast they grow." That's what your Uncle is telling you, and here is the biggest opportunity of this kind that is likely to knock at your door this year. IF YOU OWN ELLISON LOTS LIST THEM WITH US. Read Current History Prince Rupert lot speculators do not need to have pointed out to them what magic lies in the announcement thai the great railway company and the government are partners in the Ellison townsite. That should be enough to bring them a-running. But not everybody has the time to read the newspapers as closely as vour uncle. In the Manitoba Free Press of Anril 5th, for instance, there was a Dig headline reading : "Hundred ana seventy new towns to be born in Western Canada During the Coming Year." Reading the list one finds many are Grand Truk Pacific towns, but not one in British Columbia. No, Ellison and Prince Rupert are the townsites in which the railway is directly interested at this time. ELLISON���Where Atlantic Locomotives will toot salute to Pacific Steamers on the Skeena River���ELLISON One nf the most popular of all thc official reports published by the British Columbia Government is the one bearing upon its title page the caption: "New British Columbia," which has become generally known as "Bulletin No. 22," that being the official number of the report It has been widely (lisiriliuteil and you will have little difficulty in finding one. On one page of this popular report you will read this official declaration: "Upper Skeena will become one of the garden spots of British Columbia." ELLISON, from its advantageous position, wilh the Skeena River navigable for large steamers at its front, a great transcontinental railway intersecting it, should naturally become the metropolis of the wonderful garden spot of British Columbia referred lo in tlie official re|iort. ELLISON lots are ready sellers. Why, Just study the map a minute or two. ELLISON is a townsite in which the Government and the (irand Trunk Pacific are active partners. There can, therefore, be not even a shadow of doubt as to its future success. You are invited to share in this certain success by investing in a few town lots while they are at bottom prices. There are only a few on isle and unless you arc Johniiy-on-thc- spot on lhe day announced as the Opening Day of our sale you may be disappointed. Belter make your deposit as soon as (lossiblc and we will get youjn on it at the prices fixed for our first offering. ELLISON should, within a short time, have aj-egular (rain service, as it is but a little distance from Mile 104, to which point it is expected that trains from I'rince Rupert will bc running this summer. ELLISON may not bc thc only pebble on the Skeena River beach, but it certainly is the only town- site on that navigable water in which thc railway company have announced themselves interested. No doubt next year there may be other additions and sections put on the market, but by that time prices will have gone up. Now you have a chance to bc in on lhe ground floor. DOLLARS invested in good ground, rapidly grow. Did you look at that map; WHERE *fhe Grand Trunk Pacific and the Government are joint owners in a townsite the lots should be regarded as a safe Investment. Your money invested in ELLISON, or in Rogers addition or any section that may be offered later, is safeguarded by every legal method human foresight can conceive. Where one might and properly should ASK UNCLE JERRY For reservation of lots in Ellison or Rogers' Addition to Ellison, write or wire J. H. KUGLER, Prince Rupert, B. C. hesitate before investing in townsites promoted by individuals or town-promotin companies, there can be no hesitancy or misgiving as to town lots in which thc Government and thc Grand Trunk Pacific Railway are jointly interested. ELLISON is different. Do you catch on? What better guarantee can you possibly look for? ELLISON lots should double and treble and then go up some. It is believable that they will soar four or five times above present prices. on arc a lucky chap today if you own even one. If you should think of selling it and want quick action, list it with us. We feel confident the demand for these lots will exceed the number we have at present to offer. PRINCE RUPERT'S brief history will be repeated in the sale of ELLISON town lots. ELLISON should have the most rapid growth of any new town in British Columbia or anywhere else. Lots in the sections we are now offeri.ig for sale, as well as such additions and sections that may be offered later, may be calculated to bring investors similar returns to those resulting from the first sale of Prince Rupert town lots. ELLISON where the Grand Trunk Pacific Transcontinental trains from the Atlantic will first strike that wonderful Skeena River. ELLISON is probably the greatest opportunity for investing a few dollars on a reasonably certain chance of winning big profits you arc likely to see this year. But don't forget that the number of lots is limited and you will have to hurry sonic if you want to pick out one of the choicest loc.itions. ELLISON needs at present merchants, hotel men, "the baker, tlie butcher and the candlestick maker," more than lot speculators, but they will come later all right, as they did in Prince Ruper.t, and pay BIG RENTS. ELLISON trades' people will live in a town where railway freight rates will always be regulated by the competition of water transportation, as Ellison will be lhc lasl important landing up the Skeena River. It is where the railway leaves thj. Skeena Valley lo follow that of the famous Rulklcv ��� ��� j���^RROGERS ADI>NuBN ELLIS&N VI /v ..... JL 1 \ )\m RPiNCERURbnr^ ******. _Z*_V*_f Vf *_jf _*F~~ V DO YOU SEE THAT HUMP? THAT'S EIX1L0N Valley. ELLISON is your opportunity. GRAB IT. "Opportunity knocks at every man's door." Knocks all the time but some people are sleepy. ELLISON is on the market NOW. It is very doubtful if any other Grand Trunk townsite in British Columbia will bc on the market this year. Better come in early and get a little Ellison in your list of holdings. Start a few dollars lo work there and sec what they will cam. - ELLISON is destined to be the principal shipping point not only for the agricultural belt in the Bulkley .md adjacent valleys -just glance at thc map again and see what a vasl country will depend on Kllison for its supplies and transportation for its products. And then, when Grand Trunk officials announce thc fact that it is THE townsite in the Hazelton district in which their company is Interested, you arc reminded of the great mining activity that district is promised ihi- season, the machinery to go in and the rich ore to conic out. ELLISON, lhe metropolis of "lhe garden spot of British Columbia." Remember thai railway townsites cannot Ik- chosen iu British Columbia like they .ire on lhe prairie between Winnipeg and Kdmonlon cvcr\ eight miles a lown, every hundred and thirty miles a divisional point In British Columbia there is greai engineering ability required to las oul a route, many natural obstacles to contend wiih, and towns iniisi bc located when' the engineers can find suitable land lor sidings Ellison is -in ideal spot for a town outside ni iu superiority (geographically. I.ike grape mils. "There's a reason." why it should be at the point where the r.u'lway leaves the Skeena Valley. Look at your map. ELLISON is the first spring opening oi Grand Trunk Pacific offerings in the wa> of town lot Opportunities. There may be Others later, but t icre's no certainty when. Jump in and takcallycr. Money will not grow in your pocket ll should grow every month this summer if you plant it in ELLISON. How can you lose? You don't have to put up the whole price, you know. Come early and select ElHson lots, 20 per ceil! cash, balance COS) terms, 7 per cent interesi. Select Rogers Addition lots, 10 per ceiil cash, 10 per cent per month, no interesi.

Mr. J, I). Craig will have charge of the Canadian party. He will co-operate with Mr. Thomas Kiggs, Jr., the representative of tlie United States Government. Each party will comprise about forty men, mostl) technical experts. Mr. (.'r.iig reached here yesterday from j Ottawa to spend a short time i before leaving for the north. The boundary line from Mount Klia> north tc the Arctic, according to the Treaty of London, is the Mist meridain. Precise astronomical observations have to be taken in determining the boundary which is subsequently marked by bronze monuments located one mile apart. Messrs. Craig and Kiggs last season had charge of the survey from the Yukon i" the Porcupine river; the distance remaining to be traversed northward through a moss-covered country to the Arctic is about 150 miles. The meridian boundary south from the Yukon in the direction of tin- base line at Mount St. Elias lias already been partially determined. Last year the joint parties reached White river, several hundred miles south of the Yukon. No work farther south in the direction of Mount St. Elias will be performed ihis season, farther north, across the Yukon, Mr. Craig will have two or three siib-p.uiies working under his direction. li is understood that the Dominion Government will also despatch several survey parties next month to locale unfinished sections of the boundary between the head of Portland Canal and the vicinity of Skagway.

Poultry should be reduced from oc. to 8c. per pound. Vegetables in scarce times should come in from California with i reduction of at least one-cpiarter of present prices. Apples in the early season should bc reduced 20c per box. And we should be so prosperous with such ,i substantial reduction in the high cost of living iliat vve could afford melons and cantaloupes, anil get them at Seattle prices. These are generally 10c. ,: piece in Seattle, and 15c. here, or 5c. in Seattle, .ind 10c. here. The price of eggs should be reduced ,il least 5c. per do/en. Wheat and barley, which are not produced in lliritish Columbia to any great extent, are needed |i poultry raising in this Province. The soft, cheap tinier wheal of Washington is especially to poultry ir.iisiTs. The reduction in the price of wheat will |lu' I'.V. a bushel, or ��4.00 a ton; and on barley, 15c. bushel, or $0.00 a ton. We may occasionally enjoy oysters under the Licw condition of things. The price of this luxury ihould be reduced from 25 per cent to 40 per cent luiuler the new agreement. Talk about dressed meats���the importation nl mutton, lamb and fresh meats for the year stated amounted to $107,006. The duty paid amounted lo $2!),802, and the rate has been reduced under lhe new agreement from 3c. to 1 l-4c. per pound, a paving to the consumer of about $17,000. We imported during the same year, bacon and liaius and other salt meats, totalling the enormous ���alue of Sl,037,921, upon which we paid a duty of 1335,890. The rate has been reduced under the (lew agreement from 2c. to 1 l-4c. per pound, a saving |o the country of 1126,200. B. C. Is the Greatest Importer I mill not point out to you that the greater irtion of all these articles mentioned are imported biiat the Province of British Columbia because none bl the other provinces are to any great extent im- |ortera of foodstuffs, with the exception of fruit the Northwest, and the greater portion of the avings which 1 have mentioned would come to thc lople of British Columbia In oilier words, an analysis of the schedule would eail one to the conclusion that so far as the appli fation of the tariff affects the cost of living, the saving o the people of British Columbia should be at least l.r) per cent of the present cost. Mr. Cowan's Pamphlet Now sir, British Columbia imports more food bluffs tha.i any other province in the Dominion, and rill get the greatest benefit from the free import- In ion of food stuffs. Some years ago, our Conscr Lative friends manufactured the cry of "better terms" in this province to prejudice the people against llit Ottawa Government The case for better terms Iras prepared by Mr. Geo. H. Cowan, the present Federal member for the eity of Vancouver. Here l-what he says i i a pamphlet adorned with a sple idid pit of himself, and spread broadcast to influence ites in this province. Mr. Cowan says "But there is another branch of British Columbia's case, in that she imports more dutiable goods ami hence pays more customs duties per head t'f her population than any other province, ln so lar as this excess prodceds from permanent causes peculiar to British Columbia it would seem to con Mituie by precedent a claim upon tlie central govern I That is to say, if one tariff applied il" ovcr Compels British Columbia, by reason of her being permanently unfitted from any cause for the nianu it'iiire of dutiable goods, to make an excessive con Inbution to the revenues of the Dominion, this cir- runutance will in itself be recognised as an Inequality Requiring adjustment." Right About Face! there waa anything to this argument, one would hlmosl suppose that Mr. Cowan would be the first Cowan argument that British Columbia was paying more than its fair share in customs duties because of its enormous importations of food stuffs. Is he i.i favor of the removal of these duties now? Not i bit of it. He was the first to denounce reciprocity aind committed the Legislature, which he so absolutely controls, to a resolution against it. hie can only come to the conclusion that in advocating "better terms," these Tory leaders were not sincere, and a close ai'.'.ly/alion of the figures prove that thc whole case for "better terms" was based on figures that cannot l.i. reconciled with the facts. A Mischievous Cry For years the Conservatives of British Columbia went up and down the highways and by-ways of the province shouting to the people that they had been robbed of over eighteen million dollars by the Federal Government; that in the 34 years from the time British Columbia joined the Confederation until 1905, that amount of money was collected from the people of British Columbia in excess of what was expentled In the province by the Dominion Government, The Auditor General of Canada, acting under instructions from the Parliament of Canada, published the correct figures, and it was found that in the 34 years mentioned, the Dominion Government collected from all sources in British Columbia, aboul sixty million dollars, or five million dollars more than was collected. "Better terms" was a most mischievous cry because proper development can never take place in Canada if it is to be hampered by a proper adjustment of receipts and expenditures so far as each and every province is concerned. The best terms British Columbia can get from the Dominion Government is a proper appreciation of its natural resources awaiting development, and an appreciation of the fact that this part of Canada is important not because it is the Province of British Columbia, but because it is the western gateway of this great country "Can- ida." We want the Dominion Government to assist in opening up the western part of Canada by the construction of more railways, by aids to navigation, and we want this done because it is important from a federal point of view and not because the Province of British Columbia contributes the money, and we want the Dominion Government to remove restrictions that prevent us from trading freely wi th our neighbors and handicap us in the development of our natural resources. The Dominion Government is going a long way in doing this by the reciprocity agreement. Helping the Fish Industry Take the fishing industry as an example. Under thc previous regulations, the New England Fish Company, an American concern, with headquarters at Boston, had a practical monopoly of the halibut fishing. Uniler the reciprocity agreement, with free trade in fishing business, all fish companies with headquarters at Prince Rupert can develop and exploit the halibut industry and every other lish industry at our very doors. \\ ith lish banks easily thc richest in the known world, under the new conditions, tlie salmon canneries will have no more short packs because a new market in the Southern States among the large negro population is opened up for the cheaper grades of fish that was heretofore shut out by high duties. Be Ready for the Fight I could go on telling you how Prince Rupert is to become the supply point for the Alaska trade under the new conditions; how every other industry will receive a new impetus from this trade agreement, but I have already wearieil you. Let mc close by appealing to you, Young Liberals, and you older Liberals, and all of you who are interested in this young city, that the battle for reciprocity has not yet been won. When the battle cry is Bounded you will find thai all the wealth and strength of the protected interests of this country will line up against freedom of trade. The battle, when it |t" wa-!, ome any measure that would relieve thecomes, will be short, sharp aid decisive. If those ll��'"||li' of British Columbia from paying the extrawho are interested will stand together and will !l1"'* complained of. This is done by the presentjnot be stampeded by false cries of disloyalty, there ���i-iiif of reciprocity, but instead of embracing can be only one result. Surely this young ami I1 "i announcement is made that Mr. Cowan is going I ' "cw Brunswick during the Master holidays to |""^uia.. (|���. benighted natives down there that j "' iradi' w;t|, their neighbors in the New England I ������>*>���* i* the very worst thing that could happen |'" Mew Brunswick and Canada generally. then there is our old friend, Premier McBride. travelled to the foot of tlie throne to secure k,Ut terms" for this province, lie accepted the imbitioiis citv, I'rince Rupert, looking lo the east, the whole of Canada, beyond the Motherland; lo the west, Asia, with its enormous possibilities for trade, antl to the north, the Laml of the Midnight Sun, will line up with Sir Wilfrid Laurier in smashing the shackles that will surely retard its growth, antl will take its place among the great commercial cities of the world.' It will be a great fight when it conies. Be ready.

C. in which the G. T. P Railway Company Has Announced its Joint Ownership Look at the Map Ellison, you will find, occupies the stragetic commercial point which seems bound to command all the trade of the Interior tributary to Prince Rupert. It is where the steel rails or the transcontinental railway from the Atlantic touch the salt waters of the Pacific on the navigable waters of the Skeena River. As a port it will be second only to Prince Rupert in the northern part of this province and is also second to this city as the only other townsite in which the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and the Government are jointly interested in which lots are offered for sale. WHAT ARE WE HERE FOR? We are all Pioneers. Not here for our health, but to make money. No man ever saved more than a competence on a salary; few do that. To get a footing on "Easy Street" you have to invest. DOLLARS don't grow in your pockets, or in a stocking. They must be put to work. Old Russell Sage said: "Plant a few iu a new country and see how fast they grow." That's what your Uncle is telling you, and here is the biggest opportunity of this kind that is likely to knock at your door this year. IF YOU OWN ELLISON LOTS LIST THEM WITH US. Read Current History Prince Rupert lot speculators do not need to have pointed out to them what magic lies in the announcement that the great railway company and the government are partners in the Ellison townsite. That should be enough to bring them a-running. But not everybody has the time to read the newspapers as closely as your uncle. In the Manitoba Free Press of April Sth, for instance, there was a Dig headline reading : "Hundred and seventy new towns to be born in Western Canada During the Coming Year." Reading the list one finds many are Grand Tru k Pacific towns, but not one in British Columbia. No, Ellison and Prince Rupert are the townsites in which the railway is directly interested at this time. ELLISON���Where Atlantic Locomotives will toot salute to Pacific Steamers on the Skeena River���ELLISON One- nf the most popular of nil the official reports published lay the British Columbia Government is the one bearing upon its title page the caption: "New British Columbia," which has become generally known as "Bulletin No. 22," thnt being the official number of the report. It has been widely distributed and you will have little difficulty in Boding one. On one page of this popular report you will read this offidal declaration: "Upper Skeena will become one of the garden spots of British Columbia." ELLISON, from its advantageous position, with the Skeena River navigable for large steamers at its front, a grcnt transcontinental railway intersecting it, should naturally become the metropolis of the wonderful garden spot of British Columbia referred to in the official report. ELLISON lots are ready sellers. Why, Just study the map a minute or two. ELLISON is a townsite in which the Government and the < irand Trunk l'acilic nre active partners. There can, therefore, be not even a shndow of doubt as to its future success. You are invited to share in this certain success by investing in a few town lotsfyhile they are at bottom prices. There nre i only a few on sale nml unless you nre Johnny-on-the- spot on thejlny announced as the Opening Day of our side you may be disappointed. Better make your deposit ns soon as possible and we will get you in on it at thc prices fixed for our lirst offering. ELLISON should, within a short time, have a regular train service, as it is but a little distance from Mile 104, to which point it is expected that trains from Prince Rupert will be running this summer. ELLISON may not be tite only pebble on the Skeenn River bench, but it certainly is the only town- site on thai navigable water in which the railway company have announced themselves interested. No doubt next year there may be other additions and sections put on the market, but by that time prices will have gone up. Now you have a chance to bc in on the ground lloor. DOLLARS invested in good ground, rapidly grow. Did you look at that map; WHERE the Grand Trunk Pacific and the Government are joint owners in a townsite the lots should be regarded as a safe investment. Your money invested in ELLISON, or in Rogers addition or any section that may bc offered later, is safeguarded by every legal method human foresight can conceive. Where one might and properly should ASK UNCLE JERRY For reservation of lots in Ellison or Rogers' Addition to Ellison, write or wire J. H. KUGLER, Prince Rupert, B. C. hesitate before investing in townsites promoted by individuals or town-promotin companies, there can be no hesitancy or misgiving as to town lots in which thc Government and the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway nre jointly interested. ELLISON is different. Do you cntch on? What better gunrnntee can you possibly look for? ELLISON lots should double nnd treble and then go up some. It is believable thnt they will sonr four br five times above present prices. 0U arc a lucky chap today if you own even one. If you should think of selling it and want quick action, list it with us. We feel confident the demand for these lots will exceed the number we have at present to offer. PRINCE RUPERT'S brief history will bc repented in the sale of ELLISON town lots. ELLISON should hnve the most rapid giowth of nny new town in British Columbia or anywhere else. Lots in the sections we nre now offering for Bale, ns well ns such additions nnd sections that may be offered later, may bc calculated to bring investors similar returns to those resulting from the first sale of Prince Rupert town lots. ELLISON where the Grand Trunk Pacific Transcontinental trains from the Atlantic will first strike that wonderful Skeena River. ELLISON is probably the greatest opportunity for investing n few dollars on a reasonably certain chance of winning big prolits you are likely to see this year. But don't forget that the number of lots is limited nnd you will have taa hurry some if you want to pick out one of the choicest locations. ELLISON needs at present merchants, hotel men, "the baker, the butcher and the candlestick maker," more than lot speculators, but they will come later all right, as thev did in Prince Rupert, and pay BIG RENTS. ELLISON trades' people will live in a town where railway freight rates will always be regulated by the competition of water transportation, as Ellison will be the last important landing up the Skeena River. It is where the railway leaves the Skeena Valley lo follow thai of ihe famous Bulkley Valley. ELLISON is your opportunity. GRAB IT. Opportunity knocks at every man's door." Knocks all the time but some people are sleepy. ELLISON is on the market NOW. It is very doubtful if nny other Grand Trunk townsite in British Columbia will be on the market this year. Better come in early and get a little Ellison in your list of holdings. Start a few dollars to work there nnd see whnt they will earn. ELLISON is destined to be the principal shipping point not only for the agricultural belt in the Bulkley and adjacent valleys-just glance al the map again and see what a vast country will depend on Ellison for its supplies and transportation for its products. And then, when Grand Trunk officials announce the fact that it is THE townsite in the Haxclton district in which their company is interested, you are reminded of the great mining activity that district is promised this season, the machinery to go in and the rich ore to come out. ELLISON, thi' metropolis of "the garden spot of British Columbia." Remember that railway townsites cannot be chosen in British Columbia like they are on the prairie between Winnipeg and Edmonton every eight miles a town, every hundred and thirty miles a divisional point, ln British Columbia there is great engineering ability required to lay out a route, many natural obstacles to contend with, and towns must be located where the engineers can find suitable land for sidings. Ellison is nn ideal spot for a town outside of ils superiority geographically. Like grape nuts, "There's a reason," why it should be at the poinl where the railway leaves the Skeena Valley. Look at your map. ELLISON is the first spring opening of Grand Trunk l'acilic offerings in the way of town lot opportunities. There may be others later, but t icrc's DO certainty when. Jump in and take a Iher. Money will not grow in your pocket. It should grow every month this summer if you plant ii in ELLISON. How can you lose? You don't hnve to put up the whole price, you know. Come early and select Ellison lots, 20 per cent cash, balance easy terms, 7 per cent interesi. Select Rogers Addition lots, 1(1 per cent cash, 10 per cent per month, no interesi. A few lots in Kllison Townsite for sale Inside lots 1280.00 each; corner lots 1350.00 each.

What is the other Prince Rupert? I feel safe in saying that from the shadow of the North Pole to the North Pacific Ocean, from the western bonier of Alberta to the Coast, is an u (developed Empire richer in natural resources tha i a iy other part ol Canada, a.id as rich as any country in the world. Lying along side of us and separated from us only by trade barriers erected by Governments elected by the people, is Alaska, rich enough and large enough lo build in this northern country, to build on this Kaien mil, one of the greatest commercial cities in the world, if trade were allowed lo follow natural channels. The Norlh l'acilic has more wealth in fish than any Other known water in the world, and that fish would Ihul a centre from which it would be distributed to feed the people of the world, and that centre would be I'ri ice Kupert if governments elected by the people would allow trade to follow natural channels! and not attempt to force it to other points by protective tariffs. And then there is mineral and coal, timber and agricultural resources all awaiting development but handicapped at the outset by the high cost of living and by the discouraging restrictions imposed by high tarills made to protect industries in which we are not locally interested and which are generally a stumbling block iu thc way of the development Ol natural resources. Which Shall It Be; Let me impress upon you that the mere transshipment ol oilier people's good-, | roduced by otherj people's toil and energy, through litis port of I'rince Rupert, will never make I'rince Rupert great. Thc greatness of I'rince Kujuri will depend upon the energy of its people and the development of the natural resources immediately at your door. Which Prince Rupert shall it be the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway terminus or a great commercial centre��� an argosy into which will be poured all the wealth of mis northern country? That will largcl) depend upon jrou, young men. members of the Young Liberal Association, .md other young nun, who although nol now members, may In- later on, and who, in an) event, can do their share in lhe upbuilding of ihi* ail\ although they may hold different political vii��1, Now sir. having fairly contrasted thc two possible futures Inr litis city, and basing suggested that greater freedom ()f trade is essential to development.

What Reciprocity Is What is reciprocity? Canada U.n* a tariff wall .11 ross which no goods can come, not even the necessaries of life, unless they pay to the Government pproximatcly 20 per cent of their value. The I tilted States has a tariff wall as high as the liis-| torical "Hainan's gallows." On both sides thc consunu 1- of these tomis pay the extra cost imposed bj these duties until the mst ()f living has gone up b> leaps and bounds and it has become difficult (or the orali���;ir% i���a��� l(, mi{\i(. )���,,), ,.11(|s |nct,, eV(,n So tne (iov "Too British" for Sir Charles The Liberal Government secured a further! reduction in thc tariff by a British preference. Again our Tory friends cried "Ruin." The Jeremiahs of the Jeremiahs were heard throughout this broad Dominion and that doughty veteran, Sir Charles Tupper, again buckled on his armour and proclaimed that Sir Wilfrid Laurier was too British for him. Did ruin come? Not a bit of it. Canada prospered as she had never done before. Through all these years of prosperity, the high tariff men were .lot idle. Through manufacturers associations and kindred organizations, they kepi then Colonial Secretary, was a stinging ten those fair-weather Loyalists, and he expressed thelwouK pious hope that the people of Canada were bound to the Mother Land by a firmer bond than a commercial one, and that the people of Canada did not desire that a market for their products should be; maintained by a perpetual tax upon the people of England. "Globe" Comments on Situation 'lhe Toronto Globe of that day said: "It was amusing to watch the effects of the new British policy upon the Tory members of the Province. 1 he comments of these members afforded an admirable illustration of the selfishness of Toryism. Give them everything they could desire, and ihey werel brimful of loyalty. They would chant paeons tinti llu\ were sick, and drink goblets until they were blind, in praise of wise and benevolent Governors] who gave theni all the offices and all the emolu incuts, but let their interests, real or imaginary, be affected, and how sooi did their loyalty evaporate.-' Now, there was talk of separation from the Mother Country unless the Mother would continue to feed theni in the method prescribed by the child. Tory loyalty was estimated in pounds, shillings and pence. When these were withdrawn, il sustained a collapse. It was a strange thing, the Tory loyalty. You might trample on every privilege, you miglil opposi the passage of every good law, you might enact class legislation by which the interests of the many were entirely sacrificed for the few, and you would not disturb the Tory's loyalty. He seemed to be better pleased to show his loyally for the preser vation of things as they were. But the moment the Government ventured legislation on a broad, just and comprehensive scale, the Tory's loyalty vanished." ,s in thelfurther, "tlmt having regard to the prosperitj 0| ubt'Cauada, the United Stales as an adjoining country, many mutual interests, it is desirable thai there most friendly relations and broad iiier.u trade intercourse between them; that tht tojintcrcsts alike of the Dominion and the Rmpite materially advanced by the establishing j J . .,..:..

United States Tories They have Tories in the United States, but they call theni by another name over there. Toryism in the United States had no conscience and no bowels of compassion.

So sweeping were the offers made for a continuance of reciprocity that George Brown, the Liberal member of the then Coalition Government withdrew from the Government as a protest against an unnecessary sacrifice of Catuidian interests. After Confederation, Sir John Macdonald sent Hon. John Rose to Washington ���'���- 180!) to negotiate a in icon io negotiate a reciprocity treaty, but he was unsuccessful.

The Liberals came into office in^l800, and a oint High Commission was appointed for the purpose of discttssi.ig with the United States Government, trade and other matters. The Canadian Commission, which was composed of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Sir Rich, ird Cartwright, Sir Louis Davis and John Carlton, M. P., sat i.i Quebec from August to October, 1898, ind in Washington from October, 181)8, to January, 18i)9. This Commission was not a success so far as closer trade relations was concerned because the Canadian Coinmissio lers found that the Republican eaders then i.i power were High Protectionist!, md were not willing to make a fair agreement with Canada. Sir Wilfrid was so disgusted and dis Appointed that he made the announcement that lit would make no further pilgrimages to Washington, A Great Awakening But there recently came a great awakening to tlie politicians of tlie United States. People rebelled against the high cost of living brought ibout by a high tariff. They demanded a revision of the tarilT downwards, They did not like it Insurgent candidates sprang up in different statu. and the leaders of the Republican party became alarmed. President Taft went to Albany to meet Mr. Fielding for the purpose of discussing t.irili irrangemenis with him. lie sent his tariff experU to Ottawa, for the purpose of endeavoring to arriu it a more satisfactory trade arrangement, a id, li.i.ilh, it the invitation of the President of the United States, .Messrs. Fielding and Patterson went to Washington and concluded a trade agreement ur; much along the lines of the Reciprocity Treaty ol 1S54, and in conformity wilh the Trade Polic\ laid down by the Liberal party in National Convention it Ottawa in 1808. Is It Sound Policy? Is it sound policy? Is it sound policy? Where you in favor of the Liberal trade policy laid doM by the National Convention iu 18!>3.> If il was good policy then, is it yiKtd polity now ? After lhe Liberals came into power in 18SH), a tariff commission w.i> appointed for the purpose of enquiring into and revising the tariff. The Commission, in a measure, carried out the Liberal promise to reduce the tariff. Iron duties were reduced; barbed wire and binde twine were placed on the free list in the intercsu of the farmer: the duty on Hour was reduced; il�� duty on sugar was substantially reduced, ami du duty on the raw material of many farm necessaria was reduced. Other reductions were made, and ibovc all, the British preference of 33 1-3 per cent wiis placed upon the Statute Books. The tlutv on every article of British manufacture is one-lhirtl Its- than the general duty. All these reductions lessened the burdens ��i the consuming classes, but, notwithstanding -i"'1 reductions, the cost of living has gone up by leaps and bounds, ami in no part of Canada is the cost of living higher than in British Columbia. I nder these circumstances, is there any man, not blinded by party prejudice, who will say that the Government should do nothing to ameliorate the condition of the gnu consuming classes in tH* country.''
