These were ; known. He took up the constitu tion of the Canadian Club of Berlin, Or.t., pointing out that such clubs were non-political and undenominational, and the prime object of such organizations was to enable its members to entertain distinguished visitors to thei r city, to get to know them and to give them a better impression of the place than they could otherwise gain. No place was better situated that Prince Rupert for such an organization. During our brief existence as a city we had had many distinguished visitors, the governor-general of Canada, the federal premier, the premier of the province (CONTINUED ON PAGE 8.) lAYOR RETURNS FROM SOUTH IAT HE HAS HEARD OF PRINCE RUPERT ft People in Vancouver Think We Ifould Be Crazy to Grant Grand trunk Pacific's Demands.��� Hears ���*o of Local Option Party Ifter his sojourn "down below" yor Stork is pleased to be back in Rupert and out of the rain.

"They think Prince Rupert would be positively crazy to knuckle under to the terms of Mr. Hays' proposition. They expect to see Prince Rupert stand up for her rights, .mil will be surprise! if she doesn't."

No person not a British subject, shall take any steps to have his or her name inserted on the voters' list. 2. No person as above shall be allowed to vote at any municipal election. As for the position of the city clerk, it would appear to be largely a mechanical one subject to the following rules: (a) Any person who has declared himself to be a British subject should have his name put on the list by the clerk.

He is reported to have told in cold, callous detail the whole story of the murder of Belle Elmore, how he poisoned her with hyoscin, cut up the body, buried it in lime, and all the gruesome incidents. The Times makes this statement in spite of the fact that the prison officials declare that the condemned has told no story of the crime. The Times will print the confession tomorrow. *j|, Si ., ^ M Si I. ^ ��� ' ess|.*as*si****l sX Three Cornered Fight The Optimist is informed on good authority that Mr. C. V. Bennett, President of the Local Option Association, has decided to enter the mayoralty contest as a temperance candidate. This will probably mean a three cornered fight. Mr. Bennett was not in his office this afternoon and the Optimist was therefore unable lo obtain U statement from him. PRESIDENT HAYS SENDS CITY A THREATENING TELEGRAM Says He Will Make Public the Position of the Grand Trunk Pacific on Assessment Squabble Unless City's Ad. for Debentures Is Withdrawn When the city clerk announced at last night's city council meeting thai a telegram had been received from C. M. Hays there was a thrill of expectancy in the air. It was a false alarm, however. Then- was nothing deing after all. The matter referred to in the telegram had been long since attended to. The following is the telegram and the reply by Acting Mayor Mobley: Mr. Hays' Telegram Montreal, Nov. 17, 1910. "Fred Stork, Mayor Prince Rupert, B. C. Am advised by our London office. Prince Rupert is advertising in London papers for $500,000 stating that oui assessment is $7,300,000. Since the amount of this assessment is to be : contested it is misleading, and unless the advertisement is withdrawn we shall explain itoi public the position. Chas. M. Hays." Acting Mayor's Reply To this Acting Mayor Mobley has I replied: "Advertisement referred to was or- I dered withdrawn October 26." P. H. Mobley, Acting Mayor The telegram was received and filed. There was no discussion regaiding it nor any comment made in council at tha time. HAS CRIPPEN CONFESSED?

PRESIDENT DIAZ TAKES THE FIELD NEW TEACHER APPOINTED Rumor That Mies Le Neve Will Sell His Confeesion to London Newspaper���Scaffold Ready for Use Tomorrow Morning. (Special to the Optimist) London, Nov. 22.���Having heard that Dr. Crippen had asked to see her and been accorded permission by the author ities of thc jail. Miss Le Neve repaired to the prison last evening, thus putting at rest the Btories that she had sailed for Montreal. She was with the condemned mun for nearly two hours, nnd it is now said that he made a full confession of the murder of his wife, Belle Elmore, and that the girl has sold the story of the confession to bc used by a London newspaper immediately ufter the hanging tomorrow. The jail officials deny that Crippen made any confession. John Ellis, assistant executioner, raised the gallows in the jail yard this morning and tested the drop with a bug of sand. The drop was found to work satisfactory and at nine o'clock tomorrow morning Dr. Crppen will be marched out of his cell to meet his direful fate Board Will Try to Hurry Heating Contracts A new teacher for the school in the person of Miss E.

CITY ARRANGES TO INSURE LABORERS FROM ACCIDENT Take Out a "Blanket Policy" to Protect All Laborers in City Employ���Some of the Aldermen Opposed Scheme But It Went Through SIGN OF THE RAINBOW Visit of Canadian Cruiser to Vancouver Means a Dry Time CONTINUED ON PAGE 5 (Special to the Optimist) Vancouver, Nov. 22.���When the cruiser Rainbow is welcomed to this city tomorrow only temperance drinks will be sold. This will make no difference to the "jackiea," as they are all teetotalers, but their hosts are liable to suffer from a thirst unquenchable. A decision to ensure all the laborers employed on civic works against accident, under a "blanket policy," and cha'ge the insurance up against the various contractors was made by the city council last night. The economy and assurance of the scheme were strongly urged in its favor, though il was opposed by Aid. Hilditch, who wanted the question of insurance to be left to each individual contractor. Finance Committee Recommends The finance committee who have been considering the matter recommended that an offer of thc Mack Realty company be accepted in which they agreed to insure the city's liability as an employer of labor for 2 per cent. The idea was to have thc contractors each take his share in the payment of this rate, as works were undertaken for the city. Why the particular company mentioned should have the insurance busi ness for all the city's employers liability, was the question troubling Aid. Hilditch. Rate Is a Low One In explanation Aid. Pattullo pointed out thut the firm named had approached the city with the advantageous offer to carry the city's risk as employer of labor at the low rate of 2 |>er cent. He had asked Aid. Smith who was experienced in these matters, about Ihe offer, and had been told il was u lower rnte thun Aid. Smith's firm were paying. There was no preference as to insurance firms, the thing was u purely business matter. A Difference of Opinion It seemed to Aid. Hilditch that il would be better if each contractor looked after his own employees' liability policy und selected his own insurance company, but Aid. I'm ml lo thought the blanket policy for the whole city CONTINUED ON PACK 6 THE PRIME RUPERT OPTIMIST gg~*~M~X x���x~ *~m TH E benign old Ren tlemun pictured above is daily depositing at our store gifts of all kinds for the good people of Prince Rupert.

The Hazelton district has been going ahead without much of a "hurrah," proving up the ore in a miner-like manner. Those who have pinned their faith on suggestions from engineers, prospectors and miners are now commencing to feel that they will be handsomely rewarded. With the Lead King, Silver Cup, American Boy and American Girl on Nine Mile mountain, several unincorporated groups producing on Hudson Bay mountain, Telkwa and the head of Copper river, besides the producers at Stewart and vicinity, all tributary to Rupert, it is now confidently expected that Prince Rupert will have a smelter here in the near future.

"They think Prince Rupert would be positively craxy to knuckle under to the terms of Mr. Hays' proposition. They expect to see Prince Rupert stand up fnr her rights, and will be tnptmm- if she doesn't." X CRIPPEN HAS MADE FULL CONFESSION (Special to the Optimist) London, Nov. 22 -According to the Times Dr. Crippen has made a full confession. He is reported to have told in cold, callous detail the whole story of the murder of Belle Elmore, how he poisoned her with hyoscin, cut up the body, buried it in lime, and all the gruesome incidents. The Times makes this statement in spite of the fact that the prison officials declare that the condemned has told no story of the crime. The Times will print the confession tomorrow. a��� Railway Washed Out Bellingham, Nov. 22.���(Special)���The Great Northern Railway to Vancouver has been badly washed out by floods which threaten to be much worse than those of last year in the Skagit district, which did so much damage.

No person not a British subject, shall take any steps to have his or her name inserted on the voters' list. 2. No person as above shall be allowed to vote at any municipal election. As for the position of the city clerk, it would appear to be largely a mechanical one subject to the following rules: (a) Any person who has declared himself to be a British subject should have his name put on the list by the clerk. I (b) Anyone whose citizenship is not Three Cornered Fight The Optimist is informed on good authority that Mr. C. V.

PRESIDENT HAYS SENDS CITY A THREATENING TELEGRAM Says He Will Make Public the Position of the Grand Trunk Pacific on Assessment Squabble Unless City's Ad. for Debentures Is Withdrawn When the city clerk announced at last night's city council meeting that a telegram had been received from C. M. Hays there was a thrill of expectancy in the air. It was a false alarm, however. There was nothing doing after all. The mutter referred to in the telegram had been long since attended to. The following is the telegram and the reply by Acting Mayor Mobley: Mr. Hays' Telegram Montreal, Nov. 17, 1910. "Fred Stork, Mayor Prince Rupert, B. C. Am advised by our London office, Prince Rupert is advertising in London papers for $500,000 stating that oui assessment is $7,300,000. Since the amount of this assessment is to be contested it is misleading, and unless the advertisement is withdrawn we shall explain ito) public the position. Chas. M. Hays." Acting Mayor's Reply To this Acting Mayor Mobley has replied: "Advertisement referred to was ordered withdrawn October 26." F. H. Mobley, Acting Mayor The telegram was received and filed. There was no discussion regatding it nor any comment made in council at the time.

Rumor That Miss Le Neve Will Sell His Confcstion to London Newspaper���Scaffold Ready for Use Tomorrow Morning- iSpecial to thc Optimist) London, Nov. 22.���Having heard that Dr. Crippen had asked to see her and been accorded permission by the authorities of the jail, Miss Le Neve repaired to the prison last evening, thus putting at rest the stories that she had sailed for Montreal. She was with the condemned man for nearly two hours, and it is now said that he made a full ctn- fession of the murder of his wife, Bel'e Elmore, and that the girl has sold the story of the confession to be used by a London newspaper immediately after the hanging tomorrow. The jail officials deny that Crippen made any confession. John Ellis, assistant executioner, raised the gallows in the jail yard this morning and tested the drop with a bag of sand. The drop was found to work satisfactory and at nine o'clock tomorrow morning Dr. Crppen will be marched out of his cell to meet his direful fate NEW TEACHER APPOINTED Board Will Try to Hurry Heating Contracts A new teacher for the school in the person of Miss E. Milligan of Vancouver, was appointed by the School Board last night. She will commence her duties after the Christmas holidays. This will make a staff of five teachers.

There was no preference as to insurance firms, the thing was a purely business matter. A Difference of Opinion It seemed to Aid. Hilditch that it would be belter if each eontractor looked after his own employees' liability policy and selected his own insurance company, but Aid. Pattullo thought the blanket policy for the whole city opposed by Aid. Hilditch, who wanted the question of insurance to be left to each individual contractor. Finance Committee Recommends The finance committee who have been considering the matter recommended that an offer of the Mack Realty company be accepted in which they agreed to insure the city's liability as on employer of labor for 2 per cent. The idea was to have thc contractors each take his share in thc payment of this rate, as works were undertaken for the city.

Nov. 22 COUNT TOLSTOI'S DEATH All over the world there are demonstrations of sorrow at the death of the great Russian novelist and philosopher Tolstoi. This was shown last week when there came the premature news of his death. In London the stores began to display public mourning; societ cancelled its engagements and wrote its condolences, and Trades Unionists and Socialists prepared to do honor to his memory. One can imagine, therefore, the universal tribute that is being paid today to the memory of this remarkable character all over Europe, and by all ranks. What Count Tolstoi's place in history will be, can only at present be guessed. He was unlike anyone else and cannot be judged by the ordinary standards of comparison. He was an idealist of the school he himself formed, and a notable contributor to the literature of the world. His career was in itself entrancing, aristocrat, a soldier in active service, then novelist, then philosopher and religious teacher. Even in the circumstances of his death there was a gentle pathos that is appealing. His sudden departure in search of some place of retirement where he might end his days in solitude, absolutely hidden from the world, was not foreign to his character. But a man of eighty-three cannot safely go wandering about a cold country at winter-time with an indefinite purpose, so the end of the journey was not entirely unexpected. Count Tolstoi was possibly more a mystery to his own family than to anyone else. His wife wished to live after the fashion of other noble and wealthy families. He, however, was a devotee of the simple life, preferring the society of a laborer to that of a man of letters or a woman of fashion. But even the society of the proletariat was renounced at last, and the venerable prophet wished to be wholly alone. One would think it ought to have been possible for him to have, arranged a solitude in his own home, so that he might avoid "greetings where no kindness is, and all the dreary intercourse of daily life." But perhaps he felt that the kindly family would always be worrying about him. Over thirty years have passed since Count Tolstoi was "converted." People have forgotten that he was once a soldier who saw service in the Crimea, a man of affairs, a novelist without a purpose, a favorite in society and a wealthy land owner. Then came in 187*) that remarkable novel, Anna Karenine, and after that a succession of book*' setting forth hi*, religious and social creeds and other novels with a purpose. He renounced all financial interest in the copyrights of these works, refused to own his states and rejected money in whatever form. For his religious views the Greek Church of Russia excommunicated him. Our dis- patchf. say that this same church is to give him burial with great pomp and ceremony although it has firmly refused absolution. Yet to his last breath, Tolstoi refused to have any part or lot with the church that had worked so much of its enmity upon him, and sought to prevent the circulation of his writings in Russia. But he lived his own life, delivered his own n.essage, and continued to a good old age to give his creed the sanction of his own conduct. His memory will doubtless be much revered.

In the course of an article on the Bubject it says: "For many years the Dominion government has carried on experimental farms for the benefit of the agricultural industry; it has maintained hatcheries for the commercial fishing industry; it has taken up forestry for the purpose of making the mat of our timber lands. But for mining, the other great industry engaged in the utilitation of the natural resources of the country, it has done almost nothing in this way. "A good deal could be done. An experimental station where new methods cf treating ores are worked out, where problems may be solved, where the latest results of mining experience the world over are kept track of, and where full information is given to enquirers, should prove of great value tc the mining industry and should do much to add to the production of wealth in the Dominion."

The Colonist states: "The immediate resignation of Provincial Police Constable Taylor, for some time past stationed at Stewart, has been asked for by the attorney- general, as the result of quiet investigation on the part of the chief constable for the district, foUowing an activity of rumors as to Constable Taylor's abuse of his official position. "To put the matter succinctly, the officer was stated to have arranged a regular schedule of fees, payable to himself, by which immunity and protection were to be secured by certain forces not recognized as legitimate or for the good of society. These fees, it is declared in statements to the investigating officer, have been both levied and collected, from women of the underworld, the proprietors of' small gambling games operating in back rooms of tobacconists' establishments, and even from messenger boys finding their chief employment in the restricted quarter. These fees are stated to have amounted in the aggregate to a con-! siderable sum, the small gambling operators referred to being assessed $10 per week for police non-interference, certain women paying from $10 per month to $5 weekly, and $5 per week being also derived from the messenger boys. "Although there is small reason for disbelief of the constable's cupability, proof to sustain criminal proceedings is regarded as being probably difficult to obtain, and hence the ending of the incident with what is in effect' dismissal from the disgraced service."

TU.I.y, Arisnt JPsW NO REPLY AS YET TO HAYS' LETTER BUT FINANCE COMMITTEE ARE CONSIDERING IT Thrri* May Bs Somethin*; Doing Shortly in Regard to the Question of the Grand Trunk Pacific Assessment. No reply has yet been sent to President Hays' letter to the city regarding thc G. T. P. assessment and the matter is now in the hands of the finance committee. The Doard of Trade, according to Aid. Naden who introduced the subject as unfinished business last night, does not desire to do any more in the matter meantime. To leave the letter as a legacy to the new council is an idea which does not appeal to Aid. Hilditch. He wants it answered by the present council. "Our time is getting short," he said in this connection last night. "It sure is," muttered an onlooker. "We ought to congratulate the Board of Trade," said Aid. Pattullo, "on bringing the G.T.P. and the council together." He moved that the matter be referred to the finance committee. Aid. Barrow seconded and the motion was carried. LAST HOPE OF THE LORDS Thr*>* Resolutions Introduced to Break th* Deadlock (Special to the Optimist) London, Nov. 22.���Lord Lansdowne has given notice of three resolutions which he will introduce in the house of lords today.

CITY ARRANGES TO INSURE LABORERS CONTINUED FKOM PAGE 1 a better system. He waa quite ready, however, to defer the adoption of his committee's recommendation on this point if Aid. Hilditch had any real ground for objecting to the Arm mentioned. Companies All Alike Aid. Lynch approved of Aid. Pat- tullo's views regarding the blanket policy, and so, also, did Aid. Smith who said that there was little to choose between insurance companies when it came to settling claims���they all made difficulties as a rule. Aid. Hilditch was of the opinion that the average contractor, bad as he might be, had a bigger heart than the average corporation, and would see fair play for a workman injured in his service, who had difficulty with the insurance people. To this Aid. Pattullo replied that if he were a laborer he would rather be thrown upon the tender mercies of the city council than those of a large hearted contractor, such as say Aid. Hilditch. Tha Scheme Want Through The upshot of the discussion was that the scheme was carried by a show of hands Aldermen Mclntyre, Lynch, Smith, and Pattullo for it and Aldermen Barrow, Naden, and Hilditch against. MUST USE HIS OWN DISCRETION CONTINUED FHOM PACE 1 known to the city clerk, but who prima facie is entitled to be entered on the voters' list should be so entered. (c) As to the point where the city clerk believes a man to be a non-British subject, but has no positive evidence to that effect, it is a matter to be remedied by the city clerk according to any instructions received by the council. The result would be as follows: If the clerk refused to put the name on the list, the person being entitled to have his name so inserted has redress before the Court of Revision, or if the clerk places a name on the list which is not entitled to be there, anyone may raise objections before a Court of Revision and the matter can be remedied. There is no possible legal rule governing thia point. It would certainly not be an offence for the city clerk to put on the name of a person in the absence of any evidence who is not entitled to vote, nor would it be a legBl offence for the city clerk to leave such a name off under the conscientious belief that the person was not a British subject. The proper remedy in each case is* before the Court of Revision. This is what is contemplated in Section 14, Subsection (c). Errors are bound to be made both ways. All the Act purposes to do in the matter is to provide a remedy before the Court of Revision, the final decision thereof to be enforced. Yours truly, W. E. WILLIAMS Alderman Hilditch's Opinion On hearing this I tter read in council Aid. Hilditch reque ted the city clerk to r fer to the Municpial Clauses Act upon this subject. He gave it as his opinion that the Act read more positively than thc city solicitor's letter on the matter in question stating definis**|y that non-British subjects were not to be entered on thc r 'I at al1. He said he was not satisfied ^ith thc city solicitor's letter. Lesser of Two Evils "Better a few non-British subjects on the roll than any British subjects kept off it," was thc opinion of Aid. Naden. To have the question left entirely lo the discretion of one man did not exactly conform to Aid. Pattullo's idea of the proper way of entering up thc list, yet he thought the city clerk was perfectly right to place on the list those citizens who were assessed for property. Batter Err on Generous Sid* "Suppose a few American citisens did get on the voters' list and even vote it would not make so very much difference," was thc opinion of Aid. Pattullo who thought there waa far more danger of leaving off a vote than of putting one on. The solicitor's letter was received and filed.

He is a quiet, pleasant, and extremely modest grey-haired man of 67, whose unassuming manners may be inferred from the fact that after being elected the first president of the Portuguese republic, he returned home as usual in a second-class compartment to the unpretentious little house which he occupies in the suburbs, quietly receiving the congratulations of his richest and humblest friends, and deprecating^- acknowledging the frantic ovations of his fellow-passengers. A distinguished Portuguese gentleman who sat on the same bench with Oraga in their college days, on being asked if the premier was not a poor man, replied: "Braga lives in an intellectual atmosphere, lie has no wants, and therefore is the richest of men. No one is better fitted to occupy the position he now holds, for his well-known probity commands universal confidence." Premier Explain* Revolution Senhor Braga particularly desires it to be understood that the revolution had no military or personal aims, but like thou- of Brazil and Turkey, was purely the outcome of philosophical ideas. The Braganza dynasty had failed to keep abreast of modern progress, antl had done nothing to render the people master of their own destinies. This revolution, he said, like the two preceding ones, was based on the emancipation of the popular sentiment and aimed at the complete realization of civil life, untrammelled by prejudices or clerical denomination. One means by which the late dynasty had endeavored to maintain its position was continually to menace the people with British intervention in order to crush the popular sentiment, as if the ancient alliance of the two nations were one between thc dynasties and not between the two peoples. He believed the British people would understand antl sympathize with their struggle in the cause of progress. Victor Hugo of Portugal Senhnr Mngalhaes-Lima, official re|>- resentative in France of the new republic of Portugal, says of the Premier: "Braga is the Victor Hugo of Portugal. In literature he stands supreme. The more than 130 volumes he has already published deal with nearly every great topic of interest to us. Philosopher, poet, romancer, hislori sn, statistician, humanitarian, passionate Socialist, he is a revolutionary from conviction. The whole nation believes in his disinterestedness antl his absolute integrity, devotion to duty and enlightened patriotism." Always Lived Modestly "Born in 18411, in the island of St. Michael, one of the Azores, his childhood was one of extreme poverty. While yet a boy he began to earn his own living and even to help to support his parents. His natural leaning towards letters drew him into a printing office, and he felt himself passing rich when taken on as a compositor. "He has always lived modestly, economically, almost poorly, in absolute accord with his Socialistic principles. His whole income consists of what he earns as a professor of sociology in Lisbon university, that is two hundred and forty pounds a year. Out of this he has saved about one hundred pounds. Never Takes Street Car "He has never take" �� cao, but always walks. He had always steadfastly refused to take payment for his books, believing in art for art's sake. "The little flat Is now without any other inmate, for some years ago Senhor Braga had the greatest sorrow of his life in the loss from consumption within a few months of each other of his two children, Maria Grace, his daughter, and Theophi'e, his on.y son. "Thirty-five years ago he began his great repub'ican campaign and de'iver- ed in all over 2,000 'ectures in a'l parts of the country. He is a remarkably eloquent man with a forceful and telling manner of speaking. His Mother Hubbard Gingham "One article of his personal attire has become a byword in Portugal; it is a rusty looking umbrella with a crook handle, which he invariably carries under his left arm. "It is not too much to say that Braga had the respect, condfience and admiration of the whole of Portugal, from the King down to the humblest cottager. Dom Carlos, though he knew��� none better���Braga's sentiments, openly showed the high opinion he held of him, and when Braga was secretary of the royal academy the avowed revolu- tianry and the monarch whose son he was able to help depose, were often seen in amicable conversation. But Braga, though invited, never entered the royal palace." Professional Cards W, L, BARKER Architect Second avenue and Third street Over Westenhaver Bros.' Office. DR. W.

"They might," replied the sceptical person, "if we could provide the airships and induce the enemy to go up in them." "Do you ever try to tell people by tha clothes they wear?" "Occasionally.

"I just heur-rtl wan man call another a liar. And the man that was called a liar said the other man woultl have to apologize or there woultl be a light." "And why should that make you look so sad?" "The other man apologized." Some young children had been set at school to write essays on the giraffe, After a lesson on nntural history, they were reading them aloud to the class. At length the time came for little Willie to read his.

FREAK MINE IN NOME DISTRICT NEW KIND OF MINERAL FOUND EVERY FEW FEET Formation Has Changed No Leu Than Eight Time* in Getting Down Shaft Two Hundred Feet���Values Good but Change Suspicious. COAL NOTICE Skeena Bear Sent to Englnad The British Museum is to have among its many wonders one of those curious little white bears found on the Skeena river by Mr. Kermode and called after hint. A specimen was taken with other British Columbia game to Vienna by Mr. Warburlon Pike, and as there was none like it in the British .Museum, one was sent for by a commissioner who visited thc Vienna Exhibition of big game. Seattle, Nov. 17.���Declared by United States geological survey officials to contain more minerals than any other district in the world, the regions in the vicinity of Nome, Alaska, have made a bid for new honors in the line of mining freaks. Joe Sliscovich, the original of thc leading man in Rex Beach's "That Night at Silsco's," owns a ledge in that section that has changed its mineral contents so often that mining experts are at loss to know what kind of a mine it is. In thc five tears that he has ownetl it Silscovich has driven a shaft to the depth of 550 feet, and during this I period it has changed its formation < no less than eight times, its contents being antimony, antimony and gold, gold and silver, silver and lead, gold, silver and wolfram, gold silver and ischeclite, gold, silver and bismuth, and then copper, gold and silver. Geological survey officials have re- iccived surprise after surprise during | their work in the north, but the subject of Sliscovich's mine has put them [ guessing. That those different minerals should occur in the same vein is something previously unknown to them. Sliscovich was on the verge of selling the mine several times to different parties, but just about thc time he was ready to close he would strike a different kind of ore and the negotiations were broken. He intends to continue his work on the ledge, and expects to get a few more surprises before he gets through with it.

Tingley, Agent To put in the sewers required on Eighth and Fraser streets is to cost the sum of $5,934.42, according to a report from the city engineer read at last night's council. The estimated cost of laying house connections where there will be embankments at the completion of grading Section 1 is put at $6,138.80, and the extension of the B. C. Government sewer on Sixth street to Grenville Court will cost $1,141.00. The total of these sums is $13,214.92; and the whole report after having been referred to the finance committee, is now adopted. Wants Plankway* Instead Understanding that there might be a shortage of funds for the construction of plankways in the outlying districts if the city embarked upon any more extensive sewer plan meantime than the work immediately necessary, Aid. Hilditch declared himself more in favor of plankways in the outlying places than sewers in Section 1. Enough for Both There is however, according to Aid. Pattullo, enough money fro the plankways, only the city has to enter judiciously into negotiations for advances from the Bank of Montreal for such purposes. The Bank had to be satisfied regarding the advisability of the work. President Hays' Threat As an instance of the difficulties the finance committee had to meet in conducting the financial affairs of the city Aid. Pattullo mentioned the fact that President Hays had thought it necessary to wire stating that he would make public the G. T. P. idea of their assessment unless the city's advertisement mentioning it were withdrawn from the London papers. The sole reason for mentioning the amount of the G. T. P. assessment, said Aid. Pattullo was to let those interested know how much of the city's assessment was G. T. P. and how much was not. This was the only comment made regarding C. M. Hays' telegram last night. CANADIAN CLUB IN PRINCE RUPERT CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Sheldon's Official Assets Montreal, Nov. 28���(Special)���The assets of Sheldon, the "get-rich-quick" broker, are officially placed at $18,00 while hie liabilities are stated to be nearly a million. and several leaders in commerce and in other walks of life. Hitherto they had been able to meet and make the acquaintance of but few of them. Therefore he considered a Canadian Club for Prince Rupert most deisrable. Rev. H. \V. Kerr expressed his pleasure at meeting such a number of citizens who were in favor of forming a Canadian Club. Colonel Davis, city engineer, described the working f such clubs at some length, and said a strong feature of them was the business manner in which they were managed. The first thing to do was to get a big string of distinguished names and subjects for each speaker, a subject in each case upon which the speaker chosen was especially fitted to address them. The entertainment was invariably a luncheon, which took place in the day at about the same time the business man was going to his own luncheon and therefore did not consume any valuable time. The cost was practically nil. The annual subscription was one dollar nd the subscription to each luncheon fifty cents. He thought we were in a position to have one of the best Canadian clubs in the Dominion, for the reason that we had so many distinguished visitors. Officers Were Elected William Manson, M. P. P., agreed that such an organization was necessary for the city. He moved that the organization of the Prince Rupert Canadian Club be proceeded with. At Dr. Clayton's suggestion the chairman appointed a nominating committee, appointing Messrs. Peck, Kerr, Davis and Tremayne. These gentlemen retired for a few moments and returned with the following list: President Judge Young, Vice-president Bishop Du Vernet, Second Vice- president William Manson, M. P. P., Secretary Dr. Clayton, Treasurer H. F. McRae, Literary Correspondent C. V. Bennett, Executive Committee Dr. Kergin, G. R. Naden, G. Emmerson, F. Clements, Vernor W. Smith, S. A.Mc- Nichol, D. H. Moore. Thos* Who Were Present Among those who entered their names for membership were: Rev. W. H. McLeod, I. Bown Doig, Neil Mackay, J. H. Pillsbury, G. A. McNichol, W. J. Ader, H. 0. McRae, Alex. Douglas, T. W. Georgham, Weston Coyney, A. H. Allison, William Hanson, A. Frizzell, C. T. Howard, F. S. Clements, B. W. Browne, E. Flexman, A. E. Yakey, D. Moore, G, C. Emmerson, W. B. Clayton, C. H. Orme, G. G. Cameron, G. R. T. Sawle and Dr. Morgan. iff****** <>*��**, Now that the so-called temperance people have at last succeeded in submitting the question of license or prohibition to the people of Prince Rupert it might be well to look a little more closely into this whole matter of prohibition. There is no doubt that the men who drink to excess in Prince Rupert constitute a very small minority of those who usp liquors, and it seems rather unfair to penalize ninty-nine in a hundred because one man is a beast. Not only that but the drunkard can still secure liquor under the peculiar form of prohibition enjoined in the Scott Act and can tear his home to pieces so long as he confines his drinking to his home. The whole thing seems to be a farce. It is as much as saying that we do not care how drunken the town may become so long as the diunkards stay at home and do not let us see them. Is t here not something in human nature that rebels at all attempts to impose restrictions of a personal nature by force of law. The old "Blue Laws" of Massachusetts provided a severe penalty for any woman who appeared in public in a low-necked dress and it doea not require a very great stretch of the imagination to think that women were tempted by this law into wearing one of these dresses who otherwise would not think of putting one on. You can see them meeting behind locked doors with guards posted and wearing dresses which went to the extreme in this respect with unholy glee. History tells us that tobacco got ita first hold in England on account of the heavy penalties proscribed agaiast it on its first introduction. And so it goes. There is something in the human race that rebels against arbitrary restrictions of any kind, and the same thing has even been noticed in the animal kingdom. There is a well-authenticated story ! of an old farmer in the East who had a | lot of buckwheat straw which he wanted ; to feed to his cattle. He tried every devise and mixed the straw with all kinds of food his cattle relished but it '��� was no use. They would simply eat the other food and leave the straw. At last in desparation he built a low ] fence around the pile of straw and whenever he saw the cattle near it he set the dogs on them. The result was that the cattle broke through the fence at every opportunity and cleaned up the whole I pile. Does anyone think that locking a thing up or making it difficult to obtain is a good way to stop the desire > for it, or that a boy brought up in a town where he does not know what I temptation jb is as well lilted for life 1 as the one who knows what evil is and i has learned to shun it. An instance of j this is found in the fact that preacher's sons the world over are notorious for wildni'ss. They get so sick of the j restrictions imposed on them at home ! that they go to extremes as soon as they feel themselves at liberty and they have no experience to guide them. They have been so carefully kept from the knowledge of evil that they do not recognize it when they meet it. The writer is not one of those who believe that the will of a majority should always rule. There are certain things in which each man must be his own judge. Many estimable people believe that meat-eating is an invention of the devil, but they have not yet carried fanaticism so far as to endeavor to prohibit others from using it. The case is the same in regard to liquor. Under present conditions a man can be a total abstainer or not as he sees fit. No attempt has over been made to interfere with a man's liberty of not drinking. Why then should those who think the use" of liquor detrimental to them not ���������sMM.H^aaaHj DONT WAIT Until you fall antl sprain your ankle or break your leg befort- you inquire into our Accident Policy We pay weekly indemnity for full or partial loss of time through any accident i = 1 1:1 F.B.
