P 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. o ■ 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 the Lester David Company, has arrived in port from Ocean Falls with 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.

PERMANENT HEAD OF GRAND TRUNK Former Vice President and General Manager of Line Assumes the Position Vacated by the Death of Charles M. Hays-New Appointee is Most Capable Railroad Man and Closely in Touch with Whole work—Is Decided Friend of this City. 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 In spite of all the Other attractions there was a very good turnout of children on Friday morning to take part in the Empire Day sports.

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.

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.

EQUALLY LOW RATES TO OTHER POINTS TRAVEL SOUTH 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.

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 British flag and by the stimulus of Its protection, They have begun to seize their opportunity already.

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.

Home out—by The gravity of the elevator situation in Manitoba would be difficult 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 C. D. NEWTON REAL ESTATE '' To Rent front offices in Exchange Block, lately occupied by Carss & Bennett.

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. — o Farmer .Indians (with newspaper) —Wall.

(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. o 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. WM. S. HAi^L, L. D. S. O. D.

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.

Sole Agents in Western Canada 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. "Years ago Mendeluff worked out The Staneland Co.

McINTOSH. 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.
