MANY ADVANTAGES
OF PRINCE RUPERT
George Ross Chief Post Office Superintendent
of the Dominion Looks Upon this City as
a Place of the First Rank in the
whole of Canada—Has Watched
Other Places Develop and
Expects this City to
Surpass them all.
George Ross, the chief post office
Inspector of the Dominion, left a
few days ago for the south to pnfri"
an inspection of the work ii. some of
the southern cities. He will return
to this city a little later and make
a longer stay here, in order to get a
full grasp of the whole situation
here. While In Prince Rupert he
made a very thorough inspection of
the townsite and took occasion to
look fully Into all the conditions
here with respect to trade and the
probable growth of the place.
All this is necessary in order that
he may keep well informed upon
the situation' here and thus be in a
position to advise his department
at any time as to the needs and the
prospects in the place. Mr. Ross
left the city more than delighted
with the outlook for the port.
He says that he has In the course
of his public service had the opportunity of watching the growth of
such cities as Winnipeg, Vancouver,
Edmonton, Calgary and other points
. that are now most important places.
He has studied their development
and he has no hesitation in saying
that the city of Prince Rupert has
advantages over all of these places.
To be more specific, he pointed to
the fact that there are fisheries off
this coast that will make the place
one of the Important markets of
the coast even if there were nothing else upon which to depend. But
there are other things, including the
railway of easy grades, and the immense country that is back of this
p'ace. These will make the city, he
thinks, one of the great commercial
marts of the world. There is In his
opinion nothing that can stop the
growth of the city.     He expects in
a very short time to see the city one
of the great commercial centres of
the Pacific and one of the best cities
in uunaua.

STOCKING THE YARDS
The Lester David Company Has Received from Mills at Ocean Falls
Half Million Feet of Lumber
The tug Chieftain, now owned by

a scowload of lumber from the mills
there for the yards here. There
were half a million feet of mixed
lumber In the consignment.
It will be placed in the yards of
the company on First Avenue for the
local trade. The intention Is to supplement the stock still further in
the Immediate future.

Winnipeg, May 25.—A cable from
London announces officially the appointment of E. J. Chamberlin, who
has been vice president and general
manager of the G. T. P., to fill the
position of president of the G. T. R.,
succeeding the late Charles M. Hays.
Mr. Chamberlin has been acting
since the death of Mr. Hays as president of the G. T. P. and the G. T. R.
systems.
Mr. Chamberlin arrived in the city
this morning and assumed the new
duties as head of the G. T. P. He
occupies the offices of the late
Charles M. Hays.    He announced the
to the work from his earliest days.
During the greater part of his career he has been identified with
roads that were or have become
parts of the G. T. system. He has
therefore been very closely in touch
with the policy of that road and il
is well known that when the Canada
Atlantic was taken over by the
U. T. P. in 1906 It was the wish of
Mr. Hays that Mr. Chamberlin, the
general manager of that line, should
take an official position in the management of the G. T. He did not
do it at that time but later, on the
retirement of Mr. Morse, he was
persuaded to become Identified with

RIVERS ARE HIGH
Dozens of Places in Manitoba Have Suffered from the Floods that
Prevail there.
Bridge,  Grain  Elevators   and  Other
Works Hnve Been Swept Away
in  Destructive  Floods
Winnipeg, May 25.—All Manitoba
rivers are experiencing the highest
water in thirty years and dozens of
villages and towns are partly submerged. The burning of a dam on
the Red River caused a mill to fall
off Its foundations and crashing
down the stream carried away
bridges, n power house and grain
elevators.    The loss will be $75,000.
Champions  to  Meet
What promises to be the greatest
sporting event in this city this season will take place on the evening
of Tuesday of next week, May 28.
It Is to be a race for the championship of the north between "Dad"
Dubbe of this city and "Curley"
Hamblin of Lome Creek. Both contestants are young and in good condition. One has seen only 72 years
in the world, while the other is
about four years his junior,
Hamblin has a record made In Re-
gina to live up to, although it is
not announced how many decades
age it was made. Dubbe is somewhat
of ;i dark hor.?e but'is known to bo
able to hit a fast pace. He will,
however, in view of the record of his
opponent   be   given   a   handicap   of ' 0f
and G. S. Fitzmaurice acted as a
committee in charge.
The prizes were awarded as follows:

Sarnia, May 25.—Following the
mandamus of the United States supreme court for the dissolution of
the Stanard Oil Company the remarkable activity and enormous development of the Imperial Oil Company of Sarnia, generally understood
to be a subsidiary company of 111?
Standard Oil, bear indications of a
transference of the Standard's headquarters to Canada beyond the reach I
of the United States courts and tlie
Sherman  Anti-Trust Law.
Since last October the Imperial
Oil Company has increased its staff
here from 450 to 870 persons and
are advertising in Toronto and London papers for more. Purchases and
options on land totalling thirty acres,
said to call for the expenditure within a few years for $10,000,000 in
improvements, are already in hand,
at a cost of $5,000,000. Two hundred and fifty workmen are engaged
in the erection of new buildings, including a $75,000 office building of
the latest modern style.
Fifty men have been brought to
the Sarnia office of the Imperial
Oil Company from Buffalo and New

THK  NEW  PRESIDENT
The announcement that Mr. Chamberlin has been made president of
the G. T. P. in succession to the
late Mr. Hays should be good news
to Prince Rupert. It will mean that
there will be no disturbing of the
general plans of the company. Mr.
Chamberlin Is closely in touch with
the policy of the company as it was
being carried out by the late president. He may be expected to follow very closely the line of policy
that nils been pursued. It is well
known ,lint Mr. Hays thrust upon
Mr. Chamberlin a great deal of the
work in connection with the G. T. P.
As the general manager of the company he was called upon to outline
the policy to a marked degree and
thus he was more Intimately acquainted with the actual construction than was Mr. Hays himself, he
knowing that the works was in such
capable hands allowed him the fullest license.
Mr. Chamberlin Is a worthy successor to Mr. Hays. He knows every
foot of the G. T. P. intimately and
there is no doubt that he will as
president exercise a very active over-
Bight In connection with the work.
Those who have ever had the opportunity of discussing with him relative to the plans for this city know
that he had the Mery closest acquainted with the terminal work, tie
realized, moreover, the immense important that this city was to the
system as the Pacific terminus and
there will be no curtailing of the
plans for its development.
During the most of his life he has
lived in Canada and is therefore
closely in touch with the sentiments
of this country and its ideals. He is,
moreover, a man uf very broad views
and at the same time an inveterate
worker. There should be no delay
in the completion of the road in
consequence of the snd occurrence
that has befallen in connection with
the management of the company.

F.   L.
Shea,
In an address In London Rt. Hon.
Winston Churchill said events had
lately led up to the greater concentration of the British fleet in home
waters, which meant a relative reduction In its mobility. In this,
Mr. Churchill said, "is to be found
the great opportunity, the great
opportunity, for the self-governing
dominions—those strong young nations which have grown up all over
the world under the shelter of the

Empire Day -was marked by the
running of the first excursion over
the line of the G. T. P. from here
to Terrace. There was a good crowd
made the trip and in addition to the
enjoyment of sports at the interior
point there were many who made
the trip one of business and located
land upon which to have orchards
planted at a later period.
At Terrace Mr. Little has a model
ampitheatre for the holding of
sports. He has levelled off a baseball ground and in good view of the
whole field is a natural grandstand
where a hill rising abruptly from the
level is admirably adapted for seating. The seats have been placed
there and from this the crowds had
the opportunity of witnessing the
matches that were played.
Shortly after the arrival of the
train at its destination the baseball
match was played . m
Baseoall Game
Prince Rupert defeated Terrace in
a seven-inning game by a score of
3 to 1. It was a pitchers' battle
all the way, honors being about even,
the difference in the score being
largely due to the fact that Johnson
for the Prince Rupert nine had almost faultless support in the field,
while the Terrace team, so called,
at times showed a disposition to play
football with tlie sphere, with disastrous results. The lone tally for
Terrace was the result of a Ty Cobb
feat by Doc Evans, who, after smashing a single to left, pilfered the
next two sacks and scored on a wild
pitch. The score was as follows:

to overestimate. Many of the the
elevators purchased by the government were In need of repairs and
remodelling at the time they were
bought. During the whole of 1911
practically nothing was done at remodelling and very many of these
elevators were not even kept in repair.
Now the commission is to be
wound up and the government is endeavoring to lease or sell the elevators. It is highly improbable that
a sale can be effected for more than
half of what was paid for them.
Indeed, anybody who had been approached in the matter has no hesitation in stating that they are not
willing to pay even fifty cents on
the dollar of what the government
paid. It is not likely that Mr. Rob-
lin would venture to sell for $500,-
000 what so recently cost the country $1,000,000 to buy. Immediate
sale of the "elevators, therefore, may
be considered as almost if not quite
out of the question.
The proposal to rent them, which
is really the one being seriously considered, is not very hopeful. If the
government will rent them cheaply
enough they will probably find
lessees, but if, as has been suggested, they rent the for the interest
on the money invested, namely 4
per cent, while the $40,000 thus
earned would carry the loan, it would
provide nothing for depreciation and
nothing to take up the bonds when
they fall due. It is not likely that
any one company would rent all of
the elevators and if they are to be
rented out to various elevator companies or grain firms the last state
of the farms of Manitoba will be
very much worse than tlie first.
Lessees of evelators would not be
prepared to do any remodelling and
would not be likely to spend even
much on repairs, the proposition
would be too uncertain. Again,
many of these elevators are at points
where they are not needed, while
at new railway points which are being opened up elevators are badly
needed. Lessees, however, would
have neither power nor Inclination
to tear down elevators in one place,
move and rebuild them in another.
Not only is this the case but the
uncertainty of the situation is likely to deter private capital from venturing Into the field and erecting
elevators where they are badly
needed.
The farmers of Manitoba, the oldest of the western provinces, are
face to face with the situation, the
like of which they have never known
before. The crop of 1912, judging
E  by acreage being seeded, will be the
0 j largest In the history of the prov-
0! ince  and   not   only  will  no  propara-
1 tion lie made to increase the present
0 storage capacity, bul everything
11 points to a large percentage of that
"   capacity being unfit for service when
1 the time comes  10  thresh the crop.
While   Ihis   is   going   on   In   the
.Manitoba province, which has so
many years led the vanguard of
progress in farming, in Saskatchewan the Farmers' Co-Operative Elevator Company has 100 new elevators under contract. In fact, some
of them are already under construction.     During   the   past   winter   the

To the Duke and Duchess of Con-
naught and the Princess Patricia will
officially open the "Made-in-Canada"
train which will leave Toronto shortly for the Canadian west. The mayor
of Toronto and other prominent
will be present. The Canadian Home
Market Association some months ago
concluded that an exhibition of Canadian factory products in a "Made-
in-Canada" train would be an admirable method of proving to the
people of the western provinces that
products made by Canadian artisans
are equal in quality, variety and
value to the best that can be produced anywhere in the world. The
idea was immediately set in motion
and after much careful study has
found expression in the special train
of twelve cars which will leave Montreal  for the west very shortly.
This train itsolf is a striking example of what Canadian workshops
can produce. Everything from the
enfine to the dining tar was made
in the Angus shops of the Canadian
Pacific Railway. Even in such advanced lines of manufacture as locomotives and modern rolling stock it
is not. necessary to go out of Canada
to obtain the best. Every exhibit
will be Canadian made and will
benefit by comparison with similar
products from any country. Thp
ten exhibition cars are electric lighted throughout, and have side aisles
wide enough to allow visitors easy
passage as they move from car to
car inspecting the exhibits. The wall
areas will be used by exhibitors for
posters and other decorative effects
associated with their exhibits.
In Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta are many thousands of
farmers who have come across the
line. They are accustomed to American products and naturally continue
their use in Canada, but are ready
to hear and see what Canada is
producing. The exhibition train will
give them this Information. At first
hand fhey will inspect Canadian
goods. They are ready to accept
the Canadian-made article but as yet
have little or no information on the
subject. In their case, seeing will
be believing. The "Made-in-Canada"
train will be their object lesson.
They will find a car fitted up as
a modern house, consisting of parlor, living room, bedroom, dining
room and kitchen. All the furnishings in this house have been made
in Canada. This will be an object
lesson of the fact that a home can
be furnished throughout with Canadian-made  goods.
The train will also contain evidence of the fact that the west is
already taking a creditable place in
manufactures. One car allotted to
exhibits west of the lakes contains
goods from factories at Port Arthur,
Fort William, Winnipeg, Indian
Head and Moose Jaw, and will be
attached to the train at Fort William.
It is proposed, however, to demonstrate that there are unlimited possibilities west of Winnipeg for factory development. This will be accomplished largely by lectures Illustrated with over two hundred first
class limelight, views of typical industrial scenes. The people of the
west will be given first hand information 'as to what factories mean
to a community, how they add to
the /population, benefit mercantile
life, and increase enormously the
home market. These lectures during
the day will be given in the dining
car, which has been fitted up for
demonstration purposes, but where
there are night stops, some civic hall
will be used. This series of limelight, lectures will be one of the most
interesting and instructive features
of the trip. The lecturer will be
T. H. Race of Mitchell, Ontario, who
has represented Canada at world's
fairs in New Zealand, Australia, Belgium and Scotland. He is a fluent
speaker, thoroughly conversant with
This idea will lie promoted still
further by about twenty manufacturers and their representatives, who
will he on the train, and will be glad
to leant of tlie natural resources and
other advantages of western land
districts for manufacturing. In fact,
the manufacturer of the east is depending on information gleamed on
this trip to give him an idea of what
can be done along industrial lines
in the prairie provinces. The exhibition and the various features in
connection with it will be thoroughly
in accord with the policy of encouraging industries to locate In the various western districts.

PERMANENT HEAD OF
THE G.T.P.
(Continued From Page One)
president of the Pacific Construction
Company,  with  headquarters at Ottawa,  and   with   him   in   this  were
associated Fauquer Bros.
Joined G. T. P.
He was not allowed to remain out
of active work in the management
of roads for very long, however. The
retirement of Mr. Morse from the
vice presidency of the G. T. P.
brought that company into touch
with Mr. Chamberlin again and he
was persuaded to enter the service
again. His work in the new position has been eminently satisfactory,
as is attested by the fact that he
is now asked to take the highest
position the company has to offere,
and one of the very highest posts
that can fall to a railway man in
the Dominion of Canada.
The selection of Mr. Chamberlin
will be highly satisfactory to the
residents of Prince Rupert. It is
known that he has at heart the interests of this city, recognizing the importance of this city as the terminal
point in no uncertain way. He may
be depended upon to see that the
plans of the company with respect
to this city are In keeping with the
importance that the point demands
in the carrying out of the plans of
that great company. Mr. Chamberlin is affable and agreeable in his
manner but is essentially a worker.
His mind is always' on the task he
has in hand and there is nothing
done for effect by him. It is safe
to promise that the work of completion of the line will not be delayed one hour longer than is abso-
lutely necessary under the presidency of the new head.

JAMES  CRONIN .HERE
Well Known Mining Man Arrives in
City and Goes on to Hazelton—
Will Later Go to Salmon River
Among the recent arrivals In the
city was James Cronin, one of the
best known mining men of the northwest. He was the original owner of
the St. Eugene mine in the Koote-
nays and ever since there was mining in that part of the province he
has been following the fortunes of
them.
For some time past he has become interested in this northern section of the province, holding mining property in the Hazelton district
and in other parts. He early became interested in the Indian Mines
in the Salmon River territory near
Stewart and so well satisfied is he
with the property and Its outlook
that he has invested heavier in the
stock. He will, after a trip to Ha-
| zelton to look after his mine and
' his farm there return and go to
the Indian  Mines.

FAVORS PROTECTION
R. F. Green Speaking in Nelson Explains
His Position on Industries of
Province.
He   Expresses  Himself  as   in   Favor
of Aiding Lumbering, Milling
and   Fruit   Growing
Emphasizing the need of protection for the three great basic industries of Kootenay, lumbering, agriculture and mining, but dealing with
the subject from a broad Canadian
viewpoint and sounding a note of
Imperialism, Robert F. Green, Conservative standard bearer in the Kootenay toy-election, speaking at Nelson, drew from his audience applause which for vigor and whole-
heartedness has seldom been equalled in that city, says an exchange.
With his hearers entirely in accord with "the principles to which he
gave expression, Mr. Green touched
upon his wide experience in poltical
life and displayed a knowledge of
disabilities under which Kootenay labors based upon his long residence
in the riding and an acute observation of conditions. He was frequently interrupted by cheers and
sat down amid a salvo of applause
which exceeded even the acclamation
which greeted him when preceded by
a piper, he stepped from the auditorium to the stage to commence
his speech. His remarks on public
questions applies in part to this part
of the province.
Mr. Green .dealt particularly with
all the Kootenay lumber industry,
which he thought capable of supplying the needs of the rest of Canada.
"Right at out doors," he said,
"we have If only it can be conserved
to us, a market for our lumber that
Is growing day by day and will continue to grow for the next fifty
years. I believe that with the experience I have had in the poltical
game in the province of British Columbia, and the intimate knowledge
I have of the people who compose
the government of Canada, and my
ing reopened and many rich strikes
are being made therein, and I believe the next movement we shall
see will be in the direction of a great
reawakening of the mining industry.
Those mines that are already developed have paid their dividends, hundreds of thousands of. dollars, and
they are not worked' out, but many
of them are showing themselves
richer than appeared before. But
we need some help, something in the
way of stimulus; and I say, let it be
a continuance of the lead bounty."
Honored tne  Day
On Friday morning the Earl Grey
Scouts turned out in force under
the command of Captain Stork and
after firing a feu-de-joie gave the
customary three cheers for the King.
The corps made a very creditable
appearance.

and is
as well as my long familiarity with
this portion of the province and its
natural condTtions, I believe I can
do as much at least as any other
man in  this province toward bring-
covery was made some weeks ago.
John Coggswell of the C. P. R.
publicity office in Calgary, who has
written of the new metal in the current number of Canada Monthly, de-
ing  about  that end,  and   I  believe; scrlbes the  properties  of  Canadiur
the time is now at hand  when  we|as follows:
shall get a better measure of protection for this, one of our main industries, our timber.
"A short time ago we heard a
great deal about reciprocity. What
has been said as to the need of protection for our lumber industry applies equally to another industry that
Interests you in this section, our
fruit, for which we have at our
doors a large and constantly growing natural market. There Is no
competition in the production of
fruit between us and our neighbors,
in the Northwest Territories, because
they never can grow fruit. Their
country is adapted for a different
class of agriculture. We cut down
our timber and clear our land and
planl fruit trees, and the market
for the products of our orchards Is
at our doors, and as your representative (for I believe this nomination
Is equal to election) I intend to do
all in my power to have that market
conserved for the fruit growers of
this province. We are paying, every
one, our share into the treasury of
the Dominion of Canada, but in return British Columbia must have her
rights preserved and her natural resources and her industries conserved
for the benefit of her own people.
"I may speak of one other industry in  which all we In this country
are    deeply    interested    and    which
needs some attention nnd encourage-1
men!   al   the  hands  of  the   federal '
•governmenl, thai Is our mining. Brlt-
"It is of a brilliant white color
and does not tarnish like silver when
exposed to tulphurous gases. It
takes on a highly polished surface
and should for that reason be very
serviceable for reflectors of astronomical instruments, gem settings,
etc.
"Its physical and chemical properties are Interesting, says a chemist who has investigated the new
metal. It has a brilliant white lustre, does not oxidize in the flame of
the blow-pipe, melts at a little lower
temperature than silver and gold
and is Bomewhat softer than platinum. From a chemical standpoint
it Is electro-negative to silver, is precipitated from Its solution by zinc
and may be separated from lead by
cupellation. It is easily soluble in
hydrochloric and uterlc acids, and is
not precipitated by chlorides or
Iodides. It does not tarnish in damp
air, sulphurated hydrogen or alkaline sulphides. Its easy solubility
separates it from the known metals
which generally accompany platinum
and its melting point is at least fifty-
degrees below that of any of the
platinum group. Sufficient data is
not at hand to locate it definitely
among the metals but its possibilities are somewhat sensational.
"One of the most impressive potentialities of Canadium is that is
may prove to he tlie 'missing link'
of the mineral world.

went so far as to assign to the missing metal the properties that It
should possess. These properties
are strikingly like those attributed
to  Canadium."
In addition to the new metal, Mr.
French has made several valuable
finds. One is the discovery that a
great many dykes that intersect the
country in the vicinity of Nelson are
impregnated with precious metals of
the platinum group. Should these
prove of any great extent they will
be of large Industrial value since the
price of platinum has risen enormously in the last few years and the
world's supply is startingly short.
Another discovery Is that many of
the Ingeneous dykes carry the much
valued peridot gem. Some of these
are of a very pure and rich green
color.
