Bi-Weekly Service Of course it is possible that she may replace the Beatrice on the run just as the Adelaide has replaced thc Charmer on the trip to Victoria, but it is regarded in shipping circles both in Prince Rupert 1 and Vancouver that during the summer j months at any rate when the trade of the coast is booming with the influx of settlers and thc consequent output of material, that both the steamers will be run and will form a bi-weekly service in the same way as thc I'rince George and Prince Rupart ol the G. T. P. arc expected to do. A Steamer Per Day In this way the possibility of a daily service wilh the south looms promisingly upon the horizon. With the fleets of the G. T. P. the Canadian Pacific, the Canadian Northern, and the Union steamship vessel, the Camosun, there will be seven regular ships making this port with passengers and freight every week. Conditions Improving Of course by the time the promises of today are realized many changes may have taken place in the personnel I of the coasting boats of the norlh Pacific bin it is not ai all likely that whatever I alterations may be made they will be i any diminution in the set-ice. The iforecast is based upon the present conditions, and although the ships may , come and go it is not to be believed that the circumstances ol trade and commerce will deteriorate, the reverse !order of things being much the more : probable event uation. Will Make Trade The very fact that these great shipping organisations hnve seen fit to undertake the task ol developing the trade 'of the coast ol British Columbia by putting on a service which will be more i than adequate for the present demands, is not only a huge advertisement for the Province, it is a stimulant that will inevitably bring about its own reward by facilitating the trade relations of the north and the soulh, and thereby developing the great and inherent resources of the country. BIG FIRE ON THIRD AVENUE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 covered thai it was neither in hia own nor in the owner's language. The owner modestly admitted his acquaintance with several tongues. To his mind English was easy, and he spoke it with considerable facility of expression to prove it; French was also easy but the Oriental languages he admitted were hnrd. He was a worker who had lost practically his all in the blaze, but it seemed to disturb his "lettered heart" less than the saving of tl.e book. Fire Apparatus Arrives The house belonged to Mr. Haudenschild who with his family took up residence there early in the summer of last year. At the present time he is out of town and knows nothing of his loss. To the energy and thought fulness ot his wife he owes what little there may be left of the family possessions. Thc lire brigade though early on the scene was not able to do anything to save the building. Two Feet Pressure In thc first place ihe men could not get to the scat of operations on account of the street being up in that particular vicinity. By taking a roundabout route they got within a hundred yards of the fire. From there they unwound their hose but when ihey turned it on the fire the water only squirted about two feet from the nozzle. The sight was pitiable to behold. The attempt was useless. In any case il is questionable whether any amount o( water would have saved the house hy that time. If there ever was a chance however that settled it. In a very short time the wooden walls of Ihe house fell inwards with a crash. awoke with a start when the fire waa at its highest, and in hia own words did not breathe for quite a few minutes with anxiety. He dived into his clothes with a speed that put any protean artist to shame, and rushed out to gauge the chances of contagion. And it was with a sense of personal, almost of bodily relief, that he calculated upon the safety of the station. Building Insured Miss Sophie Haudenschild stated that the house and gear was insured. ' The exact damage is impossible to estimate, but it will cover several thousand dollars. Had a History The house burned down this morning was one of the oldest in ��� he Vickersville district. It has known several tenants and was the scene of the first fatal blasting accident on the townsite when thc little boy Nehring lost his life when a rock came through the roof. #������*. <#JjJ ��� r Insurance j Electric Plant Danger It was a most fortunate thing that thc morning broke calm and windless, Thc new electric power plant was only thirty feet away from the burning house and a breeze might have meant its utter ruin.

In the discussion of the wage rate and conditions of labor in this city arguments were put forward in favor of thc increase demanded. One leading speaker referring to the city council's question regarding the numerical strength of thc association warned his hearers that that question betrayed their desire to ingore thc demand unless the workers are banded in sufficient strength to enforce it. The call to wage workers one and all to join in swelling the ranks of the association met with appreciative response. A membership roll of a thousand strong is looked for in the near future. All speakers strongly impressedon the assembled workers the great essential that only by uniting can they gain the advantage of improved living conditions they are seeking. Is your HOUSE Insured?

A DISGRACEFUL SCENE IN THE LEGISLATURE JARDINE OF ESQUIMALT IN LANGUAGE OF THE PRIZE-RING ENTERTAINS HOUSE WITH STORY OF HIS FISTIC EXPLOITS PREMIER McBRIDE LEAVES THE CHAMBER Astounding Incident Arose Out of a Circular from the Esquimalt Liberal Association Calling on Their Renegade Member to Resign from Constituency Copies Were Put on Members' Pesks Before House Opened Mi m day,. �����d��y and runs for Speciul to the Op'.iinisll Victoria. Jan. 81. One of the nioat disgraceful exhibitions that has e\t*r been witnessed in n legislative assembly look place in the KOUM ycterday lifter noon when John Jardine, mambor for Est|uimalt, regaled the House with an account of the frai-as whieh occurred between himself and lion. William Templeman outside of the rarliainent Buildings at Victoria last fall. Boast - Ingly, and in the language of the prize ring, the member for Esquimau told of th? incident illustrating his remarks by showing how he had doubled his fist and dealt sundry alleged "upper- cuts." Premier Left the Chamber During the recital of this astonishing speech, Premier McBride left the cham ber. The incident caused a great sensation. Incidentally it showed that Mr. Jardine's object in foreswearing the Liberal party was that he was disgruntled at being overlooked by Sir Wilfrid Laurier on the Premier's recent visit to British Columbia. A Biting Circular The Incident aroee on a question ol privilege. Following Mr.lard no.i letenl ilop-nvir iii ihe House to the Conservative side, atur bla election as a Liberal, tbe members of tho Bsquimalt Liberal Association iaaued a circular calling on Jardine to resign his seat, as hi.* count in the House in betraying the electors of Eaqulmalt hail stultified hims.'lf and caused his name to be struck oft* the lists of the Liberal Association. Surprise for Jardine Copies of this circular were, it is alleged, obtained by Mr. ('. J' Mcintosh a local lawyer, who by some means or other placed these on the members' desks before the House opened. When Jardine arrived and found out wnnt had been done he was furious. He denounced the circular as scurrilous and contemptible, and to justify his course went into thc whole history of I his recent relations with the Liberal '��� party. Wilh great detail he described i the fight between himself and Brewster j ns to who should be thc leader of tho liberal party 'n the House mil th'*n led up lo the alleged fracas between himself and Hon. William Templeinim. Ci*se of Wounded Vanity He declared that there hail been a conspiracy to ignore him; that whin Sir Wilfrid Laurier visited ihr Province he had been purposely slighted by not being asked to take part on any of the committees, receptions, or other functions at whieh the Federal Premier was to be present. Dealing with the Templeman incidi nt he said he was invited to the oflice of Mr. McUraw of the Public Worka department where he met Mr. Temple- j man, who accused him of calling himself and Ralph Smith, "aiwashes."' He said that Mr. Templeman was very angry, putting his fist in his face, and finally ordering him out of the oflice. May Mean Nore Trouble The incident is being freely discussed by the members ai, Victoria. There is a possibility that Mr. Mcintosh will be cited to appear before the bar of the House, for a bruach of privilege in distributing the circulars.

DEPARTMENT STORES PHONE No. 2 ��� .��� Heaters, Stoves and Ranges Graniteware, Hotel and Bar Supplies Shelf and Heavy Hardware Paints, Oil and Glass Helped Produce Great Work At the dinner recently given in celebration of the part taken by women in producing the eleventh edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica Miss Janet Hogarth, the head of thc women's stall, in speaking of women's contribution to the great work, said she believed it was thc lirst occasion on which the share of women in producing a great work of learning had received public recognition. It was therefore a very greai occasion, an epoch-making occlusion, and a day to which women in the future will be able io look back with pride and pleasure. Women whose fitness to do so would receive instant and general acknowledgement, have contributed lo education, scholarship, literature, travel sociology, science, philosophy, medicine and history in the great book.

I believe-although I am not. sufficiently acquainted with foreign languages to speak with certainty on the point- that the English speaking person is the only one in the world who applies a capital letter to himself. That 'I strikes the foreigner aa exceedingly- egotistic. Its absence in other languages makes it very difficult for a student of English. What is the secret of its upe?" The instructor could give his pupil no satisfactory answer. He said he found that not only foreigners have difficulty in writing the capital "I" for the personal pronoun, but a little child's first impulse is also to write "i" and it is not easy to train him to use the capital.

E TROREV, Managing Director Vancouver, B.C. ' Read The Optimist Woman's Love ol Dress The real defense of women in their growing love of dress seems to us to be this, that dress is a recreation, one of those natural recreaiions which grow- out of necessity and out of everlasting emotions. It is nothing against a recreation that the frivolous rich suffer from overindulgence in it, or thc frivolouB poor from that craving for it which has ils roots in privation. The love of dress among women���especially, we think, in its modern manifestation, which emphasizes variety makes, we believe, for social balance. The disappearance of all remnant of class costume is a great reform. The open worship of tradition is a deadening thing. At the same time, by cultivating their inBtinct for the pretty and the useless, women build unconsciously a great rampart of admiration against the devastating spirits of envy and utilitarianism. Dress is a recreation, shared by a whole sex���a strong bond of sympathy, and at the same time one of the forces which render the little ebullition of unnatural feeling which we have dignified by the name of sex-hatred wholly ridiculous. For if we go to the root of thc matter the reas-n women love to wear a variety of line clothes is liecause men love to ace them wearing them, and the reason men tentl more and more to a uniform ia because women in their heart of hearts care less than men do for their appearance, are less influenced by them antl have a quicker appreciation of those chii'tns over which fashion and finery have no effect. An Arrogant Pronoun A French opera singer, while singing in New York devoted much of her time to thc study of English. Her instructor was pleased with her progress, but he had great difficulty in getting her to use the capital "I" for the personal pronoun. Whenever she wrote the word she invariably used a small "1." One day she asked him a difficult question. "Why is it," she said, "that an English speaking person when he writes of himself invariably uses the capital letter? That tall "I" strikes me as being very arrogant. A Frenchman, refer ring to himself wrijes "je" with a small "j"; a German, although he may gratify all his substantives, with capital letters, employs s small "i" in writing "ich"; a Spaniard, when he uses thc personal pronoun at all, uses a small Thursdays, at 8.30 p.m. ss.

A LITTLE CRESTFALLEN Editor Alderman Explains His Advertising Ratea In a report from the finance com- mittt-e to the lat.t city council certain accounts were recommended for -uiy- ment. The name of the Empire Publishing company was prominent among them with an account of $271 for city advertising at 10 cents per line. Regarding this Alderman Pattullo asked whether it were not the case that nearly half the space in some of these ads. had been occupied by the crest for which the 10 cents a line rate had still been charged. Alderman Newton said the crest had been put in because he thought it was usual in city advertising, and not with the idea of running up a big bill. He said that if there were any objection to the item he gave the city clerk pi r- mission to deduct 10 cents a line for the space occupied by the crest, and the matter was left there.

MOTOR STEAMER FOR ATLANTIC 11.000 TON VESSEL NOW BUIL- ING IN SCOTLAND Will Accommodate Sixteen Hundred Passengers and Carry Eight Thousand Tons Cargo���Belongs to Russian-American Line. An 11,000-ton transatlantic "motor boat," with accommodations for four hundred cabin passengers, will enter New York harbor next September in the service of the Russian-American line, which maintains a service between New York, Rotterdam and Libau, Russia. The vessel is now being built on the Clyde. While another steamship line has announced that two freight ships are to be built, of about 8,000 tons each, to be equipped with internal combustion engines, it has remained for the Russian-East Asiatic Steamship company, one of the last companies to establish a service to America, to build B larger passenger with this latest type of power. Although practically only a huge motor boat, the new ship will accommodate 400 cabin passengers and 1,200 in the steerage, and will have room for 8,000 tons dead weight of cargo. There will be every appliance on board for the comfort and safety of passengers, and there will be little on the outside to tell of thc change except the absence of the usual smokestacks, which in n companion driven steam vessel are two and a larger number of ventilators to insure pure air at all times in the motor rooms. Approximately 7,000 I" *c power will be developed by tha . motors, and the new ship will be driven at a ���peed of seventeen knots. BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR CANNERIES A MILLION AND A HALF SPENT ON EQUIPMENT The Tin Plate, Solder, Etc., for Cans, Will Arrive from the Old Country in March -Greatest Preparations Ever. British Columbin salmon canners in preparation for thc canning sen- son this year, which is expected to qua! in results that of 1910, have spent over $1,500,000 for equipment and supplies.

The tin plate for the greater part is coming from the old country on the steamers of the Holt antl Weir lines, and will arrive early in March. I f Although some of the canners had more equipment remaining at the close of the season laat year than waa anticipated, on the whole thc year's results were regarded aa very satisfactory.

Feb. 1 The Passing of a Great Engineer A great man passed away a couple of weeks ago in England in the person of Sir John Aird, and thc Empire he enriched so much by his work, is the poorer for his passing. It was typical of his unassuming character that ������ thousand people know the man's work who know not him. Outside of engineering circles in Canada his name was lit neard in the Dominion. Yet this man thc son of a humble Scottish stonemason nad carried out many of the greatest engineering enterprises in the world including thc first waterworks at Amsterdam. Copenhagen and Berlin, the gasworks at Copenhagen and Moscow, and various other works in France, Italy, and Brazil; the great waterworks at Calcutta: the Millwall Docks; public works in Sardinia, lhe Royal Albert Docks, the docks at Tilbury, the East and West India Dock extensions, and several provincial railway lines. For the British Government his firm undertook the building of the Suakim to Berber Railway in the Soudan. But far outreachin-- in importance any of these undertakings WM Ml greatest work, thc building of the colossal Nile dam at Assouan, an enterprise which has given new life to the whole Egyptian nation and adtlcd $75,000,000 to the national wealth. As is universally known, Egypt and Nubia are rainless lands, which depend for their fertility wholly on irrigalion by the waters of thc Nile, and whon thri waters are insufficient crops fail, and dire distress results. By a Htroke of genius. Sir John Aird came forward with a daring proposal to build a dam at his own risk for* five million pounds, asking no payment until the work was finished. The Egyptian Government closed with the offer, and the colossal dam, which ranks among the most wonderful sights of Egypt, was opened by thc Duke of Connaught in December, 1902. The lake formed by the dam has a capacity of 234,000,000,000 gallons. This extensive reservoir can maintain a supply of water in the canals in Lower and Middle Egypt so that upwards of 500,000 acres can be added to the area of land cultivable in summer. The dam is constructed from granite blocks brought from the old quarries at Assouan, and runs across stream for some 2,160 yards. It rises 130 feet above the foundation, and its thickness varies from 23 feet at the top to 98 feet at the bottom. Penetrating thc masonry are 180 sluice gates for regulating the flow of water. In the construction of the work no fewer than 15.000 workmen, mostly Egyptians were employed. Of Sir John it can truly be said that he left the world a better place to live in because of his work. Full of years and honors his life was a worthy one. He and his like have done much lo build the Empire. In Reply tO Rev. F. W. Ken- It iB no surprising thing that Rev. F. W. Kerr should have lectured the Optimist in his Sunday sermon. A newspaper has been defined as "something that everybody thinks he could run better than the man who is running it." But his criticism was not well taken. It is a newspaper's function to report facts without fear or favor. The justification for reporting Mr. Gosden's defence is that it was delivered at a public meeting in answer to a public attack. Thc justification for saying that his defence made a favorable impression is that it did do so. as the applause of the crowded theatre showed. To do as Rev. Mr. Kerr would have us do and ignore the man's defence of his character would be an immoral and cowardly act for a newspaper which professes to give every man fair play. Rev. Mr. Kerr's denial that thc Bocial evil is part of the social system is a question to be decided between Rev. Mr. Kerr and Mr. Gosden, the latter of whom is probably well able lo take care of his end of the argument without outside assistance. But in pointing out that Mr. Kerr's statement that thc social evil Is not a part of our social system is the opposite to that of Prof. Alvin S. Johnson, Philip Rappaport, the New York Committee of Fifteen and other investigators of the causes of prostitution, we would also point out that Rev. Mr. Kerr's conclusion is contradicted by Rev. Mr. Kerr himBelf. At the end of his discourse he is reported as ssying: "For the women themselves, he believed scarce two per cent were there willingly. The great majority were victims of circumstances." Precisely. Condensed Advertisements. poi A RE YOU IN NEED OF HELP?

A Word of Explanation The human satisfaction at being missed was the only satisfaction which came to the Optimist yesterday to relieve the disappointment of being unable to iHsue a paper. On two occasions recently the paper had to be largely set up by hand, Imt the frost-broken water pipe which caused our troubles of yesterday did not oventuate till it was too late in the day to save the situation. To our numerous inquirers they seemed to be in the hundreds -we make this word of explanation. With the prospect of removal to our permanent building, these dilliculties will, we hope, become a thing of the past. In Memorlam W. M., January 12th, 1911���Gone but not forgotten.

(Special) The second parliament of King George assembled today wilh little ceri niony, the real special ulin fi,nol ion being reM-rved until mxi Monday wlun the Ring and Queen will oi in i ho proceedings Inr Ut mslon in traditional state, Mr. Lowther was re-elected speaker of the Houae nn snirnoutly, Baa tin- posters (or particulars of tin- fifteen day clothing ���'ale at the Acn ������ ('In' hlng Store. Hundreds of enquiries from all parts of Canada, the United States and Europe come in to M. M* Stephens, tie secretary of lhe IWrd of Trade et Prince Kupert. People contemplating settling here write asking about proapecta People thinking about goirg into the rich interior territory write asking if they can purchase supplies, etc., in Prince Rupert reasonably. The whole correspondence suggests prosperity for thc city and ita merchants, Since the tusk of replying to ihisi Ift.ers is getting beyond the power of the secretary of the hoard of trade, a meeting ot the board was held last night in his offices to discuss plans for issuini; the facts so often sought regarding Rupert in pamphlet form. A campaign of advertising for Prince Rupart -A ill be opened to extend even farther the range of enquiries, und a pamphlet covering the field of enquiry fully, will be prepared. The claims of the interior territory will be advantageously set forth, and the city itself will ho fully dealt with. Facts, tacts, facts is the cry. Not pictures or fairytales just the things people want to know- the many things we have to be proud of about our city. An advertising committee composed of tho following members was appointed 'last night: W. F. Lynch, W. M. Law, J. G. Scott, It. A. White and G. W. 1 Nickerson. Other business dealt with last night J involved some criticism of th post I office. The need for premises nearer 'the business section was emphasized. It was thought thut a temporary post 1 office should bc put up soon, as the prospect of a permanent one seems remote. It wus agreed that the post- mauler is laboring under considerable I difficulty and no criticism whatever 1 was directed against him. But the delay in delivering nail to cull, rs ut the wickets, the difficulty of getting stamps or money orders while mail is being sortid, the charges for box nut, und ihe need for uptown mailing places were all mentioned as requlrii g attention. It was SUggi sled thut the dl parlnient al Ottawa be notified of the need for expansion in tl.e present post office to li.ea the needs of the growing city, and meantime a committa was appointed to Interview the postmaster nnd go Into ihe whole matter, The members are J. G. Scott, It. A. White, li. F. Unindi and M, M. Stephens, 'lhe Finance Committee for the year waB appointed us follows: A. E. McMaster, J. H. Thomson and H. P.

The Secretary is to take up the mutter of a waiting room on the wharf and to try to get somethin-- done towards meeting this need. He will also look into thc matter of locul express rates which are thought by the Hoard of Trade to be exorbitant, and representations will be made to the various cxpriss companies. A BUggestion by A. F.. McMaster tha a show case of grains, etc., the product of thc inlerior lands, should he displayed on the whaif met with approval, and will probably take shape us the Improvements on the wharf proceed. CULVERTS MUST BE CONSTRUCTED IS EXPENSE TO BE BORNE BY GENERAL FUND City Council Is Considering Matter Which Remains Unsettled Alderman Newton Wants to Consult the People on the Sub.���it About 130 men are at present employed on works for the city hy the city engineering department. A considerable pari of their operations consists in the building of culverts to deal with the drainage from wide areas in the central sections the natural outlet for which is being crossi d by the new Street grades. At the last city council the question of payment for these works came up. Is it to be done out of general fund or local improvement? That it is chargeable to general fund is the opinion of Alderman Fattullo, but Alderman Hilditch favors locul improvement. He told the council he believed thnt in paying more than $15,000 on this work out of general.fund thc city was brenking the municipal clauses act. Alderman Puttullo thought it hardly fair thut Section One owners should puy for work which is rendered necessary by the drainage wuter from higher mens. Aldermun Newton advoentod thut the people should be consulted before money wus spent on uny improvements of this sort. The mutter is still unsettled Acting Muyor Smith having suggested thnt the aldermen contfiu r it further between now and next council meeting. CITY MUST BUILD RETAINING WALLS METHOD ADOPTED WILL NOT BE VERY COSTLY Cost Will Be Ab ut $8,000 for Streets Now Being Graded but Walla Will Not Have Very Finiahed Appear- Kill<<! by Fall Toronto, Feb. 1. (Special) A. ('. Gibson, barrister, died to-day an ihe result of fulling (rom u's.reit ear nnd alighting on his head lust night. He was *l!l yean of age. Evidently none of the proix-rty owners onstreeta now being graded are going to undertake tie building of retaining walls in front of their own lots. This plan it wus thought would be generally adopted. Some property owners did go to the length of having plans and specifications prepared, but they went no farther, adn it is up to the eity now to look after the job us a whole. The matter came up ut the last ouneil. Colonel liuvis, the iiiy engineer, in a full report explained five methods of constructing retaining walls. The one he recommended most would cost (229,000 und would be i-ubstantially constructed masonry of good appearance. The less expensive intermediate methods were descrilied, and the last method which could be done without thc employment of masons would cost $8,000. This method would give a retaining wall substuntinl enough, but lucking in appearance lompared wiih the first method. On this question Aldeman Hilditch i was condemnatory. He could not fuvor the motion to adopt the re-iort because he thought there waa not money enough for the lirst rate scheme, and ho didn't think the other methods worth under.aking. He blumed the situation on last council. Alderman Pattullo was surprised that Alderman Hilditch should take up this attitude in regard to the old council. If the res|K>nsibility for thc present difficulty wus on the old council how much of it rosed on Aldermun Hilditch himself? he asked. Aldermun Hilditch wus a member of the streets, works and property committee of lust council. Aldermun Pattullo went on to say that while he fuvored the $229,000 scheme for retaining walls lie did not think the city could stand it now, and he also did not think it (air to the owners west of the junction to make them pay for improvements over lhe whole section. The $8 000 scheme was not perfect but it would give a fairly substantial wall, and he did not think the cily could afford ll belter scheme. In Alderman Morrisey*! opinion the whole mutter could safely be 'eft with the cily engineer. The city had I good engineer, and lie quesiion might well be left in his hunds. This view wus supported by Alderman Clayton. The matter to Alderman Newton ���earned rather big tO tackle all nt once He thOUght it would be better lo leave il over until next week. It was moved thai ,|���. .,..,���. adopted and the fourth .,..,1,,,,, ' " mended with retaining walls i,(. ,,. gone on wilh. The motion was _JS Alderman Hilditch dissenting. WHY THIS DELAY.
