THE CITY PRINTING Alderman Newton Raises a Discussion on the Question at Council Meeting. Figures Submitted Showed He Got the Largest Share of the Work At the Wednesday evening meeting of tire city council a discussion as to placing of printing was introduced by Aid. Newton, who wanted information as to where the advertising ot certain bylaws should be placed. He said there was an effort to direct business in a certain direction in the city and lie objected to this. Aid. Hilditch explained that the council this year and last year had placed the advertising of the bylaws with the Journal, which was a semi- weekly, because by that means a saving was effected over advertising every day. The question was one of economy for the city, pure and simple. Aid. Newton then pul forth the contention that if the council desired to effect a savi*ig, the advertising could be done in the weekly editions of the dailies. He argued that there was a concerted attempt being made to throw business in certain directions. He moved to call for tenders to be let to the lowest tenderer, to be let to the lowest tenderer on the bylaw It was then proposed to have advertised. Aid. Douglas seconded the motion. Aid. Hilditch pointed out that Aid. Newton never pointed this out when it was proposed lo advertise the water bylaw and the G. T. P. agree- rent. Had he bf >n so anxious to ■sa\e money for the city, he could have made a saving of several hundred dollars to the city. The city was no charitable institution, and he for one was going to see that the mor.y was not wasted. Aid. -iewton, keeping up his contention along the same line, charged Aid. Hllditch With throwing business in a direcnon which he thought would serve him. The mayor said lie was having a return prepared showing the distribution of the city business. He had asked for it some time ago but there was a lot of work in connection with it and it was not yet complete. The city clerk was asked, however to give tiie figures relating to printing. A short recess was taken, after which the figures were produced, showing that there had been paid out to the different printing firms as follows: Empire $682.60 News 375.30 Journal 632.80 Premier Press 116.25 These figures, Mr. Woods pointed out, included work let by contract, which formed a large part of the Work. \ Aid. Newton thereupe argued that the figures showed tl it the distribution was not fair and that the News at least was not getting its proper share. His complaints did not apply to printing alone. The patronage war' being parcelled out, as far as he could make out, to particular ones, .v complaint was made tnat the grocery hills of the city were being placed with a few, and this not with the "fu\ored bunch" from the view of the majority or. the council. Tho purchasing agent had admitted 'hat the orders were bring placed outside of him in large part. The only way to do the work was by open competition if this continued. Aid. Hlldit-li was surprised at the figures as shown. The Empire, whether by tende or not by lender, got the largest share. It was a delicate question. As a limited liability company, Aid. Newton was able to do business with the city, while other members of the council ore debarred from it. He was su.pi'sed e-hat Aid. Newton brought this up in view of the circumstances. With respect to the placing of orders other than by the purchasing agent, he explained that this was done only where it was necessary in order to avoid a large waste of time by keeping men Idle while supplies were got in the ordinary course. He was opposed to the principle of carrying on propositions by keeping men lying out of work waiting for orders. Aid. Newton wanted to put the question to the members of the coun cil or the employees as to whether he ever sought work from the city since he took a seat at this council. Aid. Hilditch called Aid. Newton's attention to the time when the advertising of the bylaws, the hydroelectric and the G. T. P., came up. Aid. Newton had taken a course, which, if it was not soliciting the parronage, It came so near to it that it was difficult to distinguish. In order to save money in the advertising of these bylaws the council had proposed to have them published in the Journal, which appeared twice a week. Rather than lose his chance to get these, Aid. Newton had pulled down the price. That was coming very near to soliciting. If Aid. Newton had been so anxious to save money for the city, he could have saved several hundred dollars there. Aid. Clayton said that he would be frank. He was not losing any sleep over the advertising of the News. Aid. Hilditch said Aid. Newton was fighting for patronage, and he did not like to see an alderman fighting for patronage. Aid. Newton said he was not fighting for patronage; he was fighting for satisfaction. a little further discussion followed, during which Aid. Newton pointed out that a large part of his work was got by tender and also that this included a bill from last year. While it was not pointed out on beha'f of any other paper, not being represented at the board the same applied to the Journal. Aid. Hilditch was perfectly satisfied to pass the motion to call for tenders and award to the lowest provided the legal requirements would be met with by publication in the weekly editions of the dailies. The motion carried on being amended by Aid. I-Itlditch to this effect. MADE RECORD TRIP F. V. Clarke Acquitted F. V. Clarke of this city, accused of forgery, has been acquitted at the Vancouver assizes. The accused, it was alleged, had forged the name of his roommate at the post office and thereby obtained money remitted from the Old Country. Mr. Clarke denied all knowledge of the forgery and has been acquitted. LOOKING INTO NEEDS H. S. Clements, H.P. is Visiting Differ- ent Parts of His Constituency. He Is Now nt. Bella liella Acquainting Himself With Conditions There H. S. Clements,M. P. for Comox- Atlin, reached the city on Wednesday evening and left the following morning for Bella Coola. He Is accompanied by on his trip by William .Manson. Tlie object of the Conservative member is to ascertain on the ground the exact needs of that part of his constituency so that ho may be the better able to serve them in the House of Commons at Ottawa. He will return to Prince Rupert spend a few days here, going into matters relative to this part of the constituency before leaving for the south again. He has to visit Alberni and Comox districts also before the House meets next month. Mr. Clements is showing himself to be what was expected of him—an energetic and painstaking member. He is gathering the fullest information with respect to the riding and will be well qualified to see that Comox-Atlin is properly kept before the departments at Ottawa. Accompanying him on this trip Is Mr. Sproule of Vancouver, a brother of Dr. Sproule,M.P. of East Grey who is well known for his defence of Conservative principles. Under tlu auspices of the Conservative Club of this city a smoker wi'l be tendered Mr. Clements a week from tonight. Superintendent of Police Colin Campbell of the provincial police force has been given the position of superintendent of file force in succession to F. S. Ilussey, who died a few weeks ago. Mr. Campbell has been with the provincial force for many years and has an ex- i-ollent record. He lias entered upon his duties at Victoria. First Auto to Reach Hazelton Was a Flanders Driven by P. C. Sands of Seattle. A Trying Route Was Covered but Machines Arrived in Good Shape nt Northern Point Last Thursday evening there arrived in the city, P. E. Sands and his 1-landers "20" auto car, In which he made the first auto trip from Seattle to Hazelton. In doing this he won tiie gold medal offered hy Challoner ex Mitchell of Victoria. Accompanying Mr. Sands were W. F. Curtis of the Seattle times, who acted as photographer, and D. F. Batcheller, the machinist. The trip was a trying one in parts, but Mr. Sands and other members of the party are loud in their praise of the country through which thel passed. They predict a great future for it and were very much taken with Prince Rupert. They left for Seattle by the Prince Rupert this morning. Mr. Sands left Seattle on August 2S, bearing a message from Mayor Dilling of Seattle to Government Agent Allison at Hazelton, and completed his trip in thirty-seven days, winning the gold Challoner & Mitchell trophy and the plaudits of the motor world. He reports that the only road along the route that is suitable for automobile traffic is the government road through the Cariboo district. Along the rest of the route the roads require much improvement, while the 110 miles between Fraser Lake and the end of the Bulkley road is impracticable, and he found it necessary to turn his party of four into a road gang, besides engaaing a couple of extra axemen to clear a trail for the car. The Flanders used is a 20 horsepower, 4-cylinder machine, manufactured by the Studebaker corporation, for which Mr. Sands is the Seattle manager. Leaving Ashcroft the car, which weighs only 1,800 opunds. carried a load of 1,250 pounds, and although this weight was reduced in the course of the trip, tlie load carried by the machine speaks well for its performance. On his arrival at Hazelton Mr. Sands received messages of congratulation from the Pacific Highway Association and from his firm. He presented Mayor Dilling's message to Mr. Allison, who warmly congratulated him on the successful ending of his notable journey, in the presence of a large crowd, which greeted the motorist and his party with hearty cheers. At the Hazelton Hotel, on Thursday evening, the Business Men's Association tendered Mr. Sands and his party an banquet, at which was served the products of the district only. Sixty of the profession and business men of the town were present, and after discussing a repast which convinced tire sceptical of the productiveness of this district, a long programme of toasts, speeches and songs was carried out, to the enjoyment, of all. Dr. H. C. Wiinch was chairman and Charles O'Neill loastniaster, with E. H. Hicks-Beach and L. L. DeVoin as vice chairmen. ENJOY BANQUET Baptist Brotherhood Celebrate Year's History in Enjoyable Way. First DEATH OF .MRS. STOVER Wife of Well Known Resident of Northern British Columbia Passes Away Suddenly Popular Organization in the City Entertains Its Friends in Melntyre Hall MAY t.'O INTO GALLERY Hon. George Graham Threatens That He May Take Seat in I'l-CSS Room "I shall re-enter public life and go back to the House," said Hon. George Graham in Toronto. "Friends have been very kind, and apparently want me to go back. I have been offered tliree seals in the West, two in Ontario and several in Quebec. On the other hand, I have received flattering offers to go into business and leave politics alone. 1 should never have thought of retiring, because we have to be in opposition now; but having been beaten makes a difference, Perhaps I will compromise by spending the first short session in the press gallery. Don't be very much surprised If you find me there among the boys." Death of King's Printer Col, Richard Wolfemlcn, I.S.O., V.D., who lias been the King's Printer in ihe province since 1863, died in Victoria a week ago yesterday. Last Tuesday evening the Baptist Brotherhood of this city gave its first anniversary banquet in Melntyre Hall. The event was a grand success. Under the guiding hand of Rev. W. II. McLeod, the pastor of the church, there has been an excellent club built up. it numbers now about one hundred members. The organization is carried on in a very democratic way, the members having the whole say in the management of it. While the social side js well looked after, the club has also given a great deal of attention to the athletic field. It was therefore a very capable body of young men who sat down to the banquetting tables on Tuesday evening. A few guests had been Invited, including Mayor Manson, members of the press, C. W. Peck, W. J. Alder and others. After a most satisfying repast, at which a number of the ladies of the church acted as waitresses, a toast list was carried through, with the president of the Brotherhood, H. W. Rogers, as toastmaster. He expressed the satisfaction which the members had in having present with them the guests who had responded to the invitation. Throughout the evening good speeches were delivered in which the part that the brotherhood was doing in the advancement of the city was constantly referred to by the different speakers. "The King" was proposed by H. W. Rogers and honored in the usual manner. "Our Guests" was proposed by L. Hanson and responded to by Mayor Manson. "The Press" vyas introduced by Clyde Roger, who, on behalf of the brotherhood, thanked the local press for what it had done for them. The toast was responded to by S. M. Newton, .1. S. Cowper and O. H. Nelson. "The Ladies," proposed by George Johnstone, were well looked after in a response by F. A. Ellis. "Canada and Prince Rupert" was proposed by W. Mackay and responded to by W. J. Alder and C. W. Peck. "The Baptist Brotherhood," proposed by N. Mcintosh, was responded to by F. Cowles and Rev. W. It. McLeod. During the evening Alex. Clapper- ton, J. E. Davey and II. Fletcher con- (ributed musical numbers. Mr. McLeod also gave a recitation in which be introduced a splendid exhibition Of impersonation. Alex. Gray presided at the nlano. The banquet was brought to a close by the singing of "Auld Lang Syne." o TRADE INCREASING In the death of Mrs. Catherine Stover, who passed away on Tuesday at tire hospital, her friends in tire' city received a very severe shock. With her husband, E. L. Stover, she arrived from Hazelton several weeks ago and took up her residence here again, after an absence of some time. About a week before her death, she was taken ill and removed to the hospital, suffering from an affection of the brain which quickly terminated In her death. Mrs. Stover was only 26 years of age, and is survived by her husband and three small children. Coming from New Westminster, Mr. and Mrs. Stover were very early residents of Prince Rupert. Mr. Stover had interests on the Skeena and for some time has been a resident of Hazelton, returning to Prince Rupert, as stated, a few weeks ago. Her mother and sister were sent for to New Westminster when hope for her recovery was despaired of. They arrived on the Prince Rupert Wednesday, tne day following her death. The body was taken south for interment this morning after services held in the Roman Catholic Church. Hayner Bros, had cnarge of the funeral arrangements. Mr. Stover will return to Prince Rupert and reside here. o PORT SIMPSON WEDDING ('. P. It. Will Maintain Summer Ser. vice on Its Line During the Winter That traffic on the Pacific Coast is going forward at a rapid rate is evidenced by the fact that the C.P.R., owing to tbe extraordinary increases in the passenger traffic, will maintain throughout the coming winter practically the same service in effect during tire summer months, and will also add two additional trains to take care of the local business between Winnipeg and Calgary, etc. The Imperial Limited trains will make practically the same time during the winter months, arriving in Vancouver In time to connect with the boat for Victoria and Seattle. Eastbound train No. 2 will leave Vancouver at the same time as at present, 7:30 p. ni., after the arrival of the steamers from Seattle and Vic torla. The Toronto express and Vane-on ver express train between Toronto and Winnipeg, which were establish ed In June of this year, will be maintained throughout the winter months with practically very little change, leaving Vancouver at 9 o'clock. This increase In Bervlce cannot fail lo have its effect upon Prince Ru pert, which promises to have tire most active winter season this year that it has ever had. liella Bella Voting People Arc United in Wedlock by tbe Rev.

Interviewed as to 'Intentions His Worship Says He Will Not lie. a Candidate Some attention is being attracted at present to the question of the City ouneil for next year. There have been rumors for some lime thai .Mayor Manson had no intention of seeking the office again next year and accordingly the Journal, two days ago, sought an answer as to whether there was any truth In the rumors thai he would retire from the post of mayor. Mr. Manson, in reply to the question, stated that ills plans for next year would prevent him from continuing in office after the close of the present civic year and it was not ills intent ion to be a candidate for the otlice of mayor- m>xt January. This announcement by I lis Worship will Ire received with general regret in tire city. He lias made a goori administrator and the city lias profited by his experience and good business ability in the office he lias tilled. Mr. Manson seems to have mailer up his mind decisively and it would seem thnt he will not be In- dui-ed lo accept lire office nexl year. A new mayor will have to be sought to serve the public next term, The city council has decided to make an early start on the waterworks system for tlie city. Colonel Uavis, the engineer, on Wednesday evening, had a report ready showing ing the plans for the clearing about the lake. It showed that about 120 acres would have to he cleared on the shores of the lake in order to remove timber that would otherwise have a tendency to impair the water in the lake. 'He recommended that the council wait until the report of two cruisers thai he had sent to examine the area reported upon the amount of timber that would be of service in the work. Aid. Hilditch concurred with the report with the exception of the delay in the work. Colonel Davis was probably correct to a certain extent in advocating the delay. In view of tire fact, however that the work would be much cheaper to do before the snow fell, he advocated starting at once. The Colonel wished to delay the work so that the timber that would be of use could be passed upon. It could be specified, Aid. Hilditch thought, that no trees should be cut that would be of use in the pipe line or other works. Aid. Clayton agreed with the report in the main. He favored clearing all the land, cutting the yellow cedar and leaving it ready to be put to use. This met with the approval of the council and it was decided lo advertise the work. Some discussion followed as to station work in this kind of operation. The city engineer thought It would he difficult to carry clearing out as station work. Aid. Douglas favored day labor. Tire system of station work found favor, however, but it became a debatable question as to how many men should be allowed in a station gang. Aid, Kerr argued that station work was really not comeptitive work. If it was pul up to competition it became contract work. It was suggested thai the station men should be given the privilege of hiring additional men. His Worship, however, explained that his understanding erf Hie station system would be thai a'l who were to work on any section would be jointly responsible for carrying it, out. All were parties to the undertaking, anel there wns no hiring of men, After fuller discussion, in which the advantages of the station system ■mil the contracl work was set forth, Aid, Hilditch moved to call for ten- ders on the five' divisions of tlie work Willi ten men to a station, and also lenders for the work by contract. The motion carried, On the matter of advertising, His Worship suggested that as the fulle'st publicity was desired, the advertisements sliinilil be Inserted twice In each paper in the city. A motion was accordingly carried. o I-'. W. BOHLER WEIIS Experienced Firemen The fire and light committee of the city council recommended on Wednesday night that, an experienced fireman should be added to the staff of the fire hall at a sayary nol exceeding $90 a month. Aid. Newton expressed the hope thai In making a choice a local man should be chosen, Aldermen Clayton and Kerr expressed their readiness to take re local man If a qualified one could be got. but they wanted efficiency In any event. A fireman will be advertised for, We'll Known Frail Rancher of Kit- Miiiikiiliini Married in Central Hotel Thursday F.

MAYOR'S RETIREMENT Mayor Manson announces that he will retire from municipal politics at tire- elose of bis present term. During the year Mr. .Manson has shown himself as competent as it wns predicted by his friends he would be in the office of mayor. His influence has been fell in tlie general policy of the city to the advantage of the pluce-. Through his efforts several questions of marked importance have been dealt with in a satisfactory way. tf Mr, .Manson could have seen his way clear to remain at the head of the city tnere is no doubt he would have received a very hearty endorsation. His decision to retire, however, makes it imperative that another be found to take this important office. No rash choice should be made. It is necessary that a man well qualified for the office and one who will work in harmony with a representative council should be selected. There is still considerable time to decide the matter and a wise selection can be made. CLEARING THE LISTS As will be seen by reference to another page of this edition, there is an evident intention of cleaning up the provincial voters' lists by the striking off of all who have left the district or who have died. That this is necessary was shown at the last election, where many absentees had their names on the list and caused confusion. With no election in sight for a little time at least it is a good move to clean up the lists as is being done. Probably mistakes will be made and some whom it is proposed to strike off may be found to be l'ving in the district. If they are they have the opportunity afforded of having their names retained. DEATH OK COL. HOLFENDEN THE FLAG Attention has been called to the fact that on several public buildings where it is required that the national flag shall float the careless practice prevails of allowing the symbol of authority to remain flying all night. The practice may save trouble on the part of the employees, but it should never be allowed to continue. The time honored practice of hauling down the Union Jack at sundown should be followed wherever it is required that the flag shall fly. CANADIAN MANUFACTURES Growth of Establishments and Output Reported The death of the King's Printer in this province, Coi. Wolfenden. I.S.O., V.D., removes a civil servant that has retained the confidence of the succeeding legislatures for nearly fifty years. He has been associated with a department of the government which he has brought up to a high stage of efficiency. In the printing office of the legislative buildings there stands the old Washington press that first did service for the province. Starting in the most simple way, the printing office Is now equipped for all kinds of press work and binding, the reports and books issued by the order of the legislature or the government being all completed In the building. In this connection it is a matter of the greatest satisfaction to residents of tire province that the publications of the government printing office are admired wliever they circulate. In no small measure this is due to the example set by Col. Wolfenden. The late official was a member of that distinguished company of the Royal Engineers that came out, from England to this country by sailing -ships and did such noble work In laying the foundations of the colony here. As all the engineers had to learn trades Col. Wolfenden had mastered the printing art. It was but natural that he should as the time passed be given the position he held since 1863. He lias been a faithful servant and dining the whole of that time there has never been a suspicion of any kind that all was not being done In Hie interests of the province and without any attempt at graft. Succeeding governments found in tlie King's Printer more than a civil servant. He was a personal friend of every member of the different governments and of tbe members of the legislatures. It was with an absolutely impartial hand that lie dealt with all that had business with the office and his death will be felt throughout the whole province. His death leaves but a very few of the original members of tbe Royal Engineers that came to Britisii Co lumbia and laid the foundations of the province. As a mark of respect to the lale official the British Columbia Gazette Issued an extra edition containing the announcement of his death. One of the best evidences of Canada's growth is shown by tlie progress made in connection with her manufacturing establishments, says the Shareholder. As a matter of fact, Canada has grown in every way during the past-quarter of a century. Her population Iras increased, Hie products of her farms, forests, mines, etc., have made wonderful advances, her bank clearings have gained, and her shipping has increased. An interesting comparison is shown by the growth in connection with our manufacturing establishments. In the year 1SS1 there was invested in manufacturing industries $165,302,623. In 1896, when the last manufacturing census was taken, this investment had grown to $846,585,000. Today- it is estimated at $1,500,000,000. Thus in the period in which we doubled our population we increased our manufacturing investments by eightfold. In 1S91 the value of the output of the factories amounted to $309,676,- 068. This grew to $706,446,000 in 1905, and is estimated at over $1,000,000,000 today. In 1905 it had increased to $162,155,000, and today it is estimated at $234,000,000. Taking individual industries into consideration, we find that a few of these, such as the steel, cotton, woollen and cement, have made wonderful strides in the past few years. About thirty-five years ago our annual production of steel amounted to $1,000,000. Twenty-five years later it was $52,000,000, while this year it is estimated at $70,000,00. In 195 tbe production of cement amounted to $2,271,000, of which 59 per cent was Canadian, and 41 per cent imported. In 1910 it increased to $6,414,000, or an increase in five years af about 200 per eent. Of this amount 93 per cent was Canadian made and only 7 per cent imported. A quarter of a century ago Canada had sixteen spinning wheel factories; today we have woollen mills and textile mills whose output is reckoned in the millions of dollars. In 1880 pulp was manufactured in Canada to the value of *,63 303; today we have over fifty mills, using over 600,000 cords of wood and producing pulp to the value of $9,230,000. Other industries show a like growth, indicating that Canada is forging to the front as an industrial centre. However, the Canadian manufacturers do not begin to supply all the requirements of the Canadian people. Last year manufactured goods to the value of nearly $72,000,000 were imported Into this country. Notwithstanding this importation of manufactured goods Canadians are becoming more and more self-sufficient in regard to manufactured articles. A large number of American and Britisii firms are investing money in plants in Canada, there being at least $230,000,- 000 of American money Invested in Canadian and British factories. This showing made by our manufacturers is a creditable one. They have advanced and grown with the country and today make a very creditable showing, not. only in the volume of goods manufactured, but also in the quality of the material turned out. o WASTE LAND it as productive as any farm land in the country. And to insure its productivity it has an abundant rainfall, mild weather, the best of winters for late fall and the early spring plaw- ing and an absence of severe winds, while cyclones and blizzards are unknown. In short, it is in every respect idea- farm land. But in addition to this it has a network of transportation lines, is traversed by several navigable streams, and above all, has one of the best markets in the west right at hand. How is it that the great area of splendid land is lying used at Portland's very doors? The answer to this question is not difficult. It is the result of an adherence to antiquated methods of getting rid of slumps and brush and putting it into condition to plow and seed. If you will go to almost any man in the district mentioned and undertake to buy any of this land, you will find the price ranging from $25 to $150 per acre, according to the distance from town, from river or rail, or its accessibility by wagon roads. But when you try lo ascertain the cost of clearing this land to plow depth you will find that no one can give you any Information of a reliable character. Y'ou will find many acres cleared wliere the cost has been as much as $250 per acre. You will be pointed to cases where tlie removing of a single stump has cost as much as $15. But you will find no man who will undertake to clear you five, ten, twenty or more acres at anything like the price you can afford to pay. Here, then, at Portland's very theshold lie 50,000 twenty-acre farm, each one capable of supporting in comfort, and finally enr.chin, a family of at least half a dozen folk, and all because we are like the folk who followed, blindly, "the trail of the calf." Much of this clearing will be undertaken at prices as low as $50 per acre, perhaps even less, and very little of it will run as high as $100 an acre. But remember, that heretofore there have been no organizations, no individuals ready to do this work except by day's labor—at an unknown expense. As to what the clearing of these lands, and their consequent peopling, means to Port'and, we leave to conjecture. The reader can sum It up as well as we can. But when one considers that right at our doors we have the making of homes for 300,- 000 or 400,000 people, homes on as fine land as the sun ever shone upon, and that most of these lands will soon be on the market at reasonable prices, then we can begin to build prophecies and predictions on the Portland of the future. o MRS. RAMSAY MACDONALD Death of Wife of Well Known Labor Leader in England Deeply Regretted .Million Acres of Land Surrounding Pen ll.iii.l Snid to He Worthless Taking Portland, tlie centre of a district 120 miles' square, going sixty miles to tlie north, south, east and west of the city, there Is an area of at least 1,000,000 acres of cut- over brush land now practically useless, says the Portland Oregonian. That is an estimate so low as to be very far below the mark, for the entire area contains 14 400 square miles, or 9,216,000 acres. Taking out one-half for the mountains, rivers, hillsides and the marshes, there are left over 4,500,000 acres, and surely Is below the actual amount to say 1,000,000 acres of this are unused, being either cut-over or grown up to brush and small and useless trees. Practically all of this is as good land as can be found In the country. It contains in well balanced proportions all the elements going to make The death of Mrs. Ramsay Macdonald—wife of the noted labor leader—has occasioned W'd spread sorrow and it is said that her husband feels his loss most deeply, says the Colonist. .Mrs. Macdonald was an able woman who worked with all her might for the good of the working women of Great Britain. At the same time she was a devoted, helpful wife and a loving mother. Mrs. Macdonald was related both to Hon. W. E. Gladstone and Lord Kelvin. She had just reached the prime of life and had been fifteen years married. Mrs. Macdonald and her husband have been great travellers, having visited together every quarter of the Globe. In 1906 she was in Victoria and, with her husband, addressed the Trades and Labor Congress. She was entertained by the Woman's Council at the Drlard and her clever speech and charming personality are remembered by those who met her. Even in those days, Mrs. Macdonald believed it to be tlie duty of women to take part In politics and advocated the extension of the franchise to them. But she was not one of those who waited for Ihe possession of the ballot to bring about reforms which co.e'd be affected without it. The Montreal Witness gives the following account of tire activities of this woman, who was not content to live at ease amid the want and misery around her. She was a devoted wife and home- maker, and was the mother of six children, but she also found time to work in the interests of women and children outside her home. She made a special study of the conditions of sweated home workers, and she was an active organizer of the Sweated Industries Exhibition. She was at tne same time a member of tliree committee of the National Union of Women Workers, and in connection with both these societies she did an ing investigations into the conditions of sho passistants, of laundry workers, the Truck Acts, and Street Trading. She gave evidence—the result ******************* ************** eie * Ferguson's The Host Popular SCOTCH WHISKEY in the World •:• Sole Agents for British Columbia * CLARKE BROS. | Melntyre Block, * 3rd Ave. | Phone 39 P.O.

She also took an active part in the establishing of workrooms for unemployed women. She helped to form the committee on wage-earning children; and she worked on the national organization of girls' clubs. While the conditions of women's labor were the subject of her special attention, Mrs. Macdonald worked with her colleagues of the National Union of Women Suffrage Societies for the enfranchisement of women.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Nines and Mining INTERESTED IN COAL English Capitul Has Purchased From Arthur Cowing; on Graham Island Arthur Gowing, a pioneer prospector on the Queen Charlottes, who located the well known Tasso Harbor copper proerty, has been in the city this week after a visit to Graham Island. Mr. Gowing, kho has large interests In several concerns now operating on the Queen Charlotte islands, has concluded a deal whereby an English syndicate secured thirteen coal claims lying near Slate Chuck. This property was controlled by Air. Gowing, Captain Nash, T. R. Morrow and Wilson Gowing. BORNITE ON DRIFTWOOD Good Showing Is Reported Sixty Miles East of Hazelton A big surface showing of bornite is reported to have been found at the head of Driftwood Creek, sixty miles east of Hazelton and fifteen miles from the railway. A group of fourteen claims lias been staked by H. Gilniour, Angus Chisholm and T. Herlihy. Pour of the claims are on the main lead, which is said to show a width of eight feet where stripped, an.i to carry peacock copper assaying over 100 a ton. Specinients of the ore were brought in during the week. GOOD COAL PROSPECTS Groundhog Mountain Measures Near Hazelton Give Excellent Promise After Season's Work All reports from Groundhog Mountain coal fields indicate good ore and abundance of it. The statements as to the quality and extent made by J. McEvoy of Toronto to the Journal a few days ago are borne out by others who have visited the camp this summer and carried on operations. Frank Jackson, locator of the Groundhog coal claims owned by the B. C. Anthracite Coal Company, and superintendent for that corporation, returned on Thursdays evening last from a hurried trip to the coalfield, whither he went to bring out the survey party which hus been running the lines of his company's claims "•says the. Omineca Miner. He also brought, out three of his own crew, leaving a couple of men to work during the winter, getting out timber for the tunnels it is intended to run on several of the seams which have been prospected this season. Additional accommodation will be provided, in view of the increased number of men which will be engaged next spring. Mr. Jackson intends to leave for Vancouver within a few days, to perfect the plans for next season's work. He intends to go in over tbe snow in March, taking a large crew of miners and the necessary outfit and supplies, including two coal drills. A. F. Kobes lias returned from Groundhog Mountain, where he succeeded in securing valuable coal claims, having discovered and located an important extension on the west of the field. Those who have seen the showings on the ground say the exposures indicate large seams of good coal. Angus Beaton, who spent a part of the season in the district with Mr. Kobes, came out three weeks earlier. He is most enthusiastic in his opinion of the coal prospects. Fred Ilasler, who has spent a month in the Groundhog district, returned to town on Thursday. He prospected, in the eastern extension of the coal field, and found the surface croppings of seams carrying the same character of coal as that on the properties of tlie large companies which are developing claims in the older portion of the district. THE INGENIKA Messrs. Jensen Back From (lie Gold Country Alter a Long Season ■ The gold rush In the Ingenica country some four years ago was recalled to mind when Messrs. Peter and Chris Jensen arrived in Hazelton after spending the spring and summer out there prospecting, says the Omineca Herald. These two old pioneers and prospectors went into the Ingeninica country last March with two Indians and four dog teams loaded with supplies. They remained there all alone and worked hard. They did not see a living soul all the season until they came out and Peter said it was the most lonely time he ever put in and he had been in the Klondike and Alaska as far north as any white man. Messrs. Jensen spent most of their time and did most of their work on the In- geneca and McConnell Creeks and went over them pretty thoroughly. They say that there is a big gold body in there some place, but as yet they have not located it. They got enough this summer to pay them well but they have not located the big property. The Ingenica country is very rough and mountainous and dififcult to get through; consequently there are very few going in, and especially since the rush of four years ago. Then it is some 250 miles from Hazelton and the trip is pretty hard. On the way out Messrs. Jensen were told that last fall a white man passed through Babine and proceeded to Edmonton. He had with him some good good coarse gold. This spring he returned and was accompanied by two or three men, who were staying around Graham. They went up north to a country known as yet only to themselves. Whether they have located the main ore body is not known, as they would give no information. Messrs. Jensen will spend the winter in Hazelton and most likely they will return to their old stamping ground next spring again. THIO SILVER STANDARD Sinking on the Shalt Reveals Excellent Ore in the Property Sinking continues in the Sliver Standard shaft and satisfactory progress is being made, a depth of over eighty feet having already been gained, says the Omineca Miner of Hazelton. The ore continues to improve in grade, that now showing in the bottom of the shaft running well up in the bonanza class. Early in the week specimens were brought into town and placed on exhibition, attracting a great deal of attention. Assays showed a total value of $798 a ton. The ore, of which there is reported to be a 30-inch streak in the shaft, Is of the most attractive appearance, being composed mainly of gray copper, with some galena and a little zinc. The increasing values obtained as depth is gained make the property look like a money maker. The Silver Standard Is owned largely by a local syndicate, with Angus Stewart at the head of it. o C. W. Calhoun of Hazelton, who walked up from the end of steel, states the grade is in excelent condition for use as a road, and suggests the advisability of establishing a stage service between Newton and Hazelton. o Bitter experience Is a wonderful teacher. No doubt the young lady had often been told that she ought to wear glasses, but had neglected or refused to do so. There was a most determined look in her eye, however, as she marched into the optician's shop. "I want a pair of glasses immediately," she said. "Good, strong ones. I won't be without them another day." "Good, strong ones?" "Yes, please. I was out in the country yesterday and I made a very painful blunder which I have no wish to repeat." "Indeed! Mistook an entire stranger for an old friend, perhaps?" "No, nothing of the sort. 1 mistook a bumblebee for a blackberry." ************************** I MARINE NEWS I * * * * ******* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * WINTER SCHEDULE IN NORTH Beginning on or about November 1 the time-stained custom of operating daily trains over the White Pass Railroad will be relegated to the shades of the past for the winter months and until the pussy willows bloom again, is the way the White Horse Star describes the change of schedule in the north. It continues: So long as Old Bory shakes his hoary mane and the wintry winds bellow and moan o'er Yukon's ice congealed bosom, there will be but three trains weekly between the Rapids City and Skagway-by-the-Sea. According to the new schedule, trains will leave both terminals Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays the train crews may sew buttons on their clothes and commune with Nature. But laying jokes and clothes aside the winter schedule is a sensible one and will serve the people very satisfactorily. We wil alter our milk schedule to conform to that of the railroad, draw our chairs nearer our airtight heaters and cultivate the acquaintance of our wives and children for the next six months. The only hardship that will be worked by the new schedule will be on the railroad crews, all of whom have their homes in Skagway, and as they will be working at reduced wages for the winter and away from home half the time, they may not be expected to contribute very largely to our foreign mission fund. Those London and Chicago offices of the railroad company are institutions that must be fostered and cherished and Whitehorse proposes doing her share toward their main-' tenance, even if she has to carry her winter milk from Skagway afoot.

FRENCH COMMERCE Unsatisfactory Showing Is Reported for the First Eight Months of the Year The result of French commerce for the first eight months of the year 1911 up to the end of August, the the official returns for which period are just published in The Journal Of- fieiel, are not very satisfactory. It shows that imports have increased no less than 965,250,000 francs, while the exports have decreased by 109,- 690,000 francs. The bad harvest of last year is said to be partly responsible for this result and as a consequence France has been obliged this year to purchase 670,000,000 francs of foodstuffs more than she did in 1910, while her sales of the same class of products have been 127,000,000 less than last. The official returns of the cereal harvest which are now to hand for 1911, in consequence of the special action of the government, will restore confidence somewhat and a change may be expected in tlie near future, for tire report shows that the cereal crops have produced this year year 110,772500 hectolitres as against 90,801,300 of last year.

The figures relating to agriculture are somewhat special this year, but it must be noted also that those relating to ordinary foreign commerce are somewhat disappointing, for they show similar results—increase in the amount of importations and a large decrease in exports. Several reasons are given to account for this state of things. It is considered among others that the recent railway strike i n England caused an immense loss to French business, also that the great rise in the price of foodstuffs throughout the country and the disturbances following thereon have had the effect of greatly limiting the general com mercial output.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL UNITED STATES EXPORTS What are the principal articles forming the large increase in exports of manufactures, the largest ever recorded in the history of the export trade of the United States? The figures of the bureau of statis, tics, department of commerce and labor, show that manufactures ready for consumption increased $101,600,- 000 in the export trade of 1911, and the manufactures for further use in manufacturing increased $41,500,000 with consumption $601,000,000 over the preceding year. This increase is larger in both classes than that of an earlier year, making the total exports of manufactures ready for consumption $601,0000,000 and manufactures for further use in manufacturing $309,000,000, or a total of $910,000,000, against a total of $767,000,000 in 1910 and $671,000,- 000 in 1909. Machinery in the various forms to which this term may properly be applied supplies a larger share of this total of increasing exports of manufactures than any other single great class of products to the factory. The group of articles which the bureau of statistics classes as "machinery" under the general head of iron and steel manufactures shows a growth of $80,000,000 in 1910 to $105,000,- 000 in 1911; but to this could properly be added automobiles and parts of which alone show a growth of $4,500,000; agricultural implements, a growth of nearly $8,000,000, and scientific instruments, including telephone and telegraph instruments, a growth of $2,500,000. To be sure no single one of the numerous classes of articles designated under the general head of "manufactures" shows as large an increase as pig copper, classed as a manufacture for further use In manufacturing, which shows a gain of $15,000,000, or approximately 20 per cent over the exports of the preciding year; while that class of lumber designated as "boards, deals and planks," shows an Increase of about $7,000,000, or 20 per cent over 1910. Glazed kid, another article for use in manufacturing sows an Increase of over $6,000,000, a gain of more than 50 per cent over 1910; but this is probably more apparent that real, in view of the fact that considerable quantities of kid leather exported in former years went out of the country under the general title of "leather," but is not, as a result of Insistence by the bureau of statistics upon greater care in classification, be^Lng properly described by thee exporters.

( > LITRE FOR RURAL WORKERS Ambitious Scheme of Education in the Villages An energetic campaign is to beun- ilertaken this autumn by the Workers' Educational Association in order to extend its endeavors in the way of providing cheap and practical education for woring people of the rural districts. During the eight years of its existence the association has confined Its enterprise chiefly to workers in the towns, among whom it now haB over 6,000 members in its various branches, besides many thousands more in the trade unions, cooperative societies, and other organizations wliich are affiliated bodies. The first step in the new campaign is to be the establishment of winter residential schools on somewhat the same plan as that which has done so much to raise the status of the agricultural laborer in Denmark . The first experiment station will be near London, easily accessible from the universities of Cambridge and Oxford, and the instruction will be conducted at first on the weekend basis and oral teaching, lectures and a method involving actual experiments. A system of residential colleges is projected to follow gradually, but centres of operation will be started throughout the country, where a more informal programme of instruction will be offered. The subjects to be taken include the history of rural life in England, the history of local government, the growth of democracy, the history of Englsh land and there are to be popular courses on literature. If these various schemes meet with success they will be followed by the establishment of an agricultural college, as in Denmark, the institutions which deal in practical matters and those which aim to develop the imagination will be kept strictly apart. The agricultural college will teach the use of land pure and simple. The association starts its campaign with over 1,400 organizations behind it, including 500 trade unions, 200 co-operative committees, 30 local education althorities, and a lengthy list of teachers' associations educational and literary societies, universities, adult schools, and working men's clubs of all descritions.

Proposition foi* Smelter for Steel Works Alay Soon He a Necessity Here There are good reasons for expecting that the country within the zone of influence of Prince Rupert will heroine a rich ion producer. Several years ago, before the city attained the importance it has today, capital was interested in the iron properties within close reach of the city witli the object in view of establishing a smelter. The idea lias never been abandoned altogether and with the revealing constantly of new fields of iron ore in the north it is quite probable that this may be soon accomplished. At tlie Queen Charlotte Islands hematite deposits are at the present time being investigated to prove their, extent anel while the locators are keeping the matter quiet until they have made fuller investigation they are satisfied that they have discovered a rich bed. From Hazelton comes the news also that on the Babine trail another promising deposit of hematite has been located. The Omineca Miner, referring to it, says: "An interesting showing of mineral is that on the Babine Trail group, where Hans Bergquist and Drysdale Ogilvie have uncovered the first specular hematite in this district. This is an important iron ore, and when found in sufficient quantity and of good grade is very valuable. As the showing on the claims is of considerable size and the assays procured show it to be of high grade, it is probable that this group may prove to be one of the money-makers of the district. "There are eight claims in the group, which is located on the Babine trail, a short distance this side of the summit. The local people who are associated with Bergquist and Ogilvie in the ownership of the group are R. J. McDonell, S. Martin, Jack Halley, Thomas Carpenter, Arthui Leverette and V. Brown." o Bird Protection Bjornson, tile Norwegion poet, in a lecture on "Animals, Education and Religion," said: "At home, in Norway we do not murder any of our song birds. Our children have for years banded themselves together In clubs to protect the birds' nests. But what we gain by this for our fields, gardens and woods is as nothing in comparison with what we gain for the education of our children in weaning them from cruelty and making them the protectors of the little birds. It teaches them to control their feelings, and awakens enthusiasm for worthy causes. Their love of destruction we change to magnanimity. We teach them to respect the economy of Nature as well as the life and property of others, thus giving their minds a direction which will one day promote the solidarity of nations." o G. T. P. lil VS COAL Andrew Laidlaw of Spokane, president of the Jasper Park Collieries, Ltd., in which are interested M. H. Alworth of Duluth, Minn., H. B. Round, J. L. Cote and H, N. Smith of Edmonton, Alta., and H. N. Galer of Spokane, managing director of the Royal Collieries at Lethbridge, Alta., announced in Spokane that he has closed a contract for the sale of 100,- 000 tons of coal to the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company. Tbe coal is to be delivered as rapidly as it is mined. Tlie mine, which is under the management of R. II. .Morris, formerly with tlie Tennessee Coal and Iron Company, the Republic Iron and Steel Company, contains bituminous coal, running from OS to 72 per cent fixed carbon and less than 7 per cent ash. The first car of coal was shipped on June 15, since wliich time the Grand 'irunk Pacific lias taken the output. Development work was started in April, 1910, two months after Mr. Laidlaw had acquired a two-thirds interest in the property. The main work to date consists of a tunnel, now 3,000 feet located 272 feet above the main line of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad, and 375 feet from the tracks. This working shows a face of coal 12 feet and 4 inches thick. A second and lower tunnel now is being driven. Eventually it will be the main working tunnel. The property is located 205 miles west of Edmonton, Alberta, and 35 miles east of the Yellowhead Pass. It is situated on both sides of the Athabasca River, south of which it is traversed by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad, now in operation for some distance farther west, and on the north by the Canadian Northern Railroad, which will reach the property early next spring. It consists of 10,240 acres of land, covering six seams of coal, varying in widths of from 4 to 14 feet, which traverse the company's holdings in a north and south direction for eihgt miles. "The Jasper Park colliery now is in a position to maintain a daily output of 300 tons, wliich by January 1 19l2, wkill be Increased to not less than 500 tons and will he again doubled before next summer," said Mr. Laidlaw. "Considering that the property was entirely without fail- road facilities When development was begun, in April, 1910, and remained so until last June, 1 think that a new record has been made in opening it up and putting it on a large producing basis in such a short time." VALUABLE TIMBER DEATH OF INDIAN CHIEF William Kelly Was Buried at Port Simpson Last Week The funeral of the late William Kelly, one of the chiefs of the Tsimpsean people, took place on October 5 at Port Simpson. A largely attended funeral service was held in the Methodist Church, the pastor, Rev. G. H. Raley officiating. Deceased was one of the most highly esteemed men in the community and the bereavement is felt by all his people. He leaves a widow and family, with whom the deepest sympathy of the entire community is felt. NEW FIRE HALL Cost Will Be Kept Down to About $5,000 to Comply With Estimate The new fire hall to be erected by the city will be kept within the $5,000 limit in response to the increasing demands of the chairman of the finance committee, Aid. Kirkpatrick, who is against any expenditure outside of the limit set by the estimates. In order to do this it is proposed to leave a part of the interior unfinished for the present. The hall will be located between the present temporary buildings. It will be set well back from Fulton Street, while a basement opening onto Fifth Street will be used as a storage place for the street equipment. TELEPHONE TO LAKES City Council Decides to Make Connection With the Civic Plant The city will take steps to extend the telephone lino from Seal Cove to Shawatlans and Woodworth Lakes. This eouse was decided upon at a meeting of the council on Wednesday night, when it was shown on report that the cost of making tlie connection with the city system would be $3 69.95 instead of $192.40 if connection was made only between the two lakes. It was pointed out that there would be need of this telephone lines from the very start. It would effect a great saving during the days of construction in transmitting information to and from the engineer's department to the works. Aid. Hilditch favored making the connection with the city rather than the system between the lakes only*. Aid. Kirkpatrick, with a watchful eye on the finances as chairman of that committee, suggested that the work should be a charge upon the waterworks. It was decided to go on with the work. Sneezing Perilous Sneezing is one of the grealest perils that confront aeronauts, declares Harry At wood, tlie American aviator. "On my flight over Cleveland, Ohio," says Mr. Atwood. "a small insect flew into my nose. I felt the sneezing convulsion coming on and fought against it. Realizing that a sneeze was inevitable, I braced myself so that I would not lose possession of my sense even for an instant. It was the first time I ever had to sneeze while in the air, and it immediately dawned on me that more than one aviator probably owed his death to a sneeze—the spasmodic jerking of the head the brief loss of sense direction, and probably a perk of a lever which made recov ery of balance Impossible. Believe me, I never again want to sneeze while flying. It is one of the mosl serious perils of aviation." Cypress of the North is Held in High Esteem for its Good Qualities. Mill Owner Has Been Offered High Price for Lumber From Yellow Cedar That Northern British Columbia has in its cypress wood a most valuable asset, is borne out by the statement of Mr. Corlett of the mill at Queen Charlotte City. He has been offered $100 a thousand for lumber cut from the cypress, or what is better known locally as yellow cedar. The timber is one of the most valuable on the Coast, being admirably adapted for furniture, for ship building and many other uses. Its lasting qualities are great and make it most valuable when this necessity is important. Mr. Corlett expects to close his mill at Queen Charlotte City about the end of the month for some little time. Later on in the winter he will probably do some custom work, but steady cutting will not be continued until the spring. That Queen Charlotte lumber is a very valuable asset to this part of the country is shown by the demand for the output from the mill. He has large orders" from the New England States for the spruce of the island, the wood dealers finding that this wook takes a finish that is very satisfactory and makes the lumber much sought after. Mr. Corlett thinks that the hemlock of the north has been discriminated against unjustly. It is a lumber that, he thinks, if it were used more freely, would become very much more sought after by builders. A prejudice seems to exist against it owing to the fact that hemlock in other parts of the continent Is not a satisfactory wood. He thinks that this northern hemlock is much superior to the general hemlock. THE BUBONIC PLAGUE The Disease Never Leaves Certain Districts of the World—There Is Always Danger From lit We are only now beginning to discern the truth about the plague, says the London Times. Medical science ignored its existence, and in the day of trial found it hardly remembered how to treat it, if it ever knew. But the fact is that plague has always existed in certain spots. It has never left India, for instance. Investigation has shown that there were continual outbreaks last Century in the highlands of Kumaon, under the shadows of the Himalayas. It is at least possible that Bombay was infected in 1S96 from the Himalayas rather than from Hongkong. Plague has been continuously present in the mountains of Assyria, in Western Arabia, south of Mecca. It has never really left Mesopotamia, or the Chinese province of Yunnan. There is an endemic centre of long standing in Uganda. Why at the close of the nineteenth centuy plague should suddenly have flared forth again with widespread intensity is one of those mysteries which no one can pretend to fathom. The cause is probably quite unconnected, in the main, with the development of intercommunication between nations. The sinister feature of the present pandemic Is that it is accompanied by a serious prevalence of the disease among the lower animals, who are liable to communicate it to man. That Is not a new condition, but much of the data concerning it is new. in England we have the disquieting rat epidemic in East Anglia. The province of Transbailkalia, which is in suspicious proximity to Kharbln, finds that plague is endemic within ils borders among a species of marmot, which is extensively hunted. Marmots in the Caucasus and in Tibet are also found to be apparently permanently infected. In the United States west of the Rocky Mountains, a new and disturbing endemic centre of plague infection appears to have been set up within the last six years among the "ground squirrels" of California. The rat is not the only cu'prit, and these centres of infection among rodents, constitute a far more insidious danger for the world than occasional human epidemics. Modern research into plague is still only In its infancy, but already It has suggested the lesson that, we must awake from the dream that the new civilization is necessarily exempt from the graver forms of pestilence. If we continue to cherish that delusion we may have a rude awakening. E. L. FISHER Funeral Director & Enibalnicr CHARGES REASONABLE THIRD AVE.
