INTERESTED IN PLACE
N. J. Hobin Found Eastern People Very
Anxious to Learn of
City.
The  Continental   Trust  Company  Is
Preparing to Open Up
on Large Scale
M. J. Hobin, second vice president
and manager of the Continental
Trust Co., Ltd., of this city, has returned to the city after a trip east
in the interests of his company. Mr.
Hobin while in the east, however,
did not devote all his time to the
Continental Trust Company's business. He has returned to Prince
Rupert accompanied by Mrs. Hobin,
having been wedded during his absence. Mr. and Mrs. Hobin will
take up their residence here.
In the east Mr. Hobin found
every one interested in Prince Rupert. It was the same whether in
Detroit, Chicago, Toronto, Montreal or Winnipeg. All wanted to
know about the  opportunities here.
In connection with the Continen
tal Trust Compay active steps are
being taken to fit up the home of
the company on Second avenue in
the new block which has been built.
In a few days the company will be
able to open up in a general business
way with the most comfortable
quarters.
A. D. Burnett, of the Commercial
Bank, Port Huron, who has become
interested  in  the  organization,  will
visit    Prince    Rupert in a month's
time, when  he  will  look  into  this
city as a field for investments.    He
"'■was the organizer and is prominently identified with    many    financial
and industrial institutions    and his
investing   here   should   he   attended
with splendid results to the city.

s      AUTO FIRE  ENGINE
Council Wishes to Have the Original
Specifications Here for
Inspection
The city council last evening had
the new auto fire engine up for further discussion to some extent. The
fire chief reported that in company
with the driver he had gone over
the machine and found it complied
with the copy of the specifications
forwarded.
The question came up whether the
original contract should not be forwarded before final action was
taken  as  to receiving the machine.
On motion of Aid. Smith, it was
decided that the original specifications should be forwarded for comparison.
The suggestion of the chief that a
possible test before the council
should take place was considered.
It was decided to notify the office
of the company asking when an expert could be sent to take part in
the test.
The recommendation that $241
be expended in fitting up a temporary hall for the new engine was
passed. The location will be close
to the bank of British North America, on Fulton street.

CONDEMNING CABINS
Medical Health Officer Recommends Removal of Those on G.T.P.
Reserve.
Other   Unsanitary   Sections   of   the
City  Receive  Attention  at
Hands of Officials
The medical health officer presented a report last evening to the
city council in which he condemned
the cabins on the Grand Trunk Pacific reserve on First avenue and
Wayne place. He reported that
those indicated in a plan accompanying tlie report were a menace to
health. If typhod or diphtheria
germs once became active there, it
would give endless trouble. There
were accumulations of filth covering
years and he advised the destruction
of the buildings and general cleaning away of the filth.
He also called attention to the
alleys between Second ana Third
avenues and between Third avenue
and Fraser street which he contended were in an unsanitary condition
in parts.
The whole matter was referred to
the health committee, which will
look into the situation and take advice as to the authority which the
council has in these matters.

J. W. Stewart, head of the Foley,
Welch and Stewart firm, Duncan
Ross, one of the sub-contractors, and

RECIPROCITY WILL BE
ISSUE AT ELECTION
Indications are That General Vote Will Be Taken to
Determine the Feeling of the Country on This
Question—Conflicting Reports Received From the West.
(Special to The Journal)
OTTAWA, April 25.—That it will
take a general vote of the electorate
to determine the feeling of the country on the reciprocity issue is manifest from the conflicting reports
brought by members who recently
visited constituencies in Manitoba,
Alberta and Saskatchewan.
The minister of tbe interior, Hon.
Frank  Oliver  and    Dr.  Clarke are
bringing assurances that the country
is overwhelmingly in favor of the
bill.
On the other hand, Dr. Staples, of
MacDonald, G. H. Bradbury, of Selkirk, and Glen Campbell, of Dauphin, have returned with countenances illuminated with the hope
that the sentiment of the farmers in
Manitoba is by no means unanimous
for the agreement.
WATER SITUATION
Council Considers the Question of Probable Shortages During the
Summer.
Suggested   That   Perhaps   Acropolis
Hill   Reservoir Might Be
Put in Shape to Serve
The water situation in the city
came up for consideration before the
city last evening. It was suggested
that probably there might be a
shortage of water during the summer.
Aid. Newton wanted to know if
the city was obliged to pay for all
the pumping even if the Grand
Trunk Pacific used so mucn water
that the pumping was made necessary.
His Worship  read  the section of

the city charter under which the
Grand Trunk Pacific was entitled to
forty inches from Hays Creek. He
a'so pointed out that the engines
used in pumping were the property
of the Grand Trunk Pacific and the
city used them on providing for the
operating of theni.
His Worship suggested that if the
new waterworks scheme were adopted, the council might with some advantage proceed to finish the Acropolis Hill reservoir and connect it
with the present supply so as to ensure against a shortage.
Aid. Morrissey did not. think that
steamers outside of the Grand
Trunk Pacific vessels should receive
water at the wharf.
Aid. Kerr said he was in formed
that the Grand Trunk Pacific engineering departnmnt wolud require
200,000 gallons every twenty-four
hours this summer. He also pointed out that steamers made this
place only to receive water on the
way from southern ports to Alaska.
His Worship thought that outside
steamers should pay for water. He
suggested referring this to the water
committee which wan agreed to.
A report of the fire and water
committee recommended that the
rates for cabins should be reduced
to $6 a year wliere only one tap was
used, on condition that all these cabins put in connections. The report
further recommended lhat all stand-
pipes should be cut. out after June
and connections forced throughout
the city except where it was impossible  to take  these  out.
A.d. Morrissey put in u claim for
i.inth avenue residents whom he
said had long wanted for the connection.
It was decided to refer this to the
committee for report.
DISPUTE AT AN END
Industrial Workers Have Formally Called
off Strike Work in
General.
Rapid   Completion   of   Contracts Is
Sought by Citizens in Interests of Business
The industrial dispute which has
been carried on in the city for a
number of weeks is now at an end
and the strike declared by the P. R.
I. W. has been called off by that
body. The move on the part of the
association was taken at a meeting
held in their hall on Sunday night,
when the situation as it now existed was discussed and the resolution passed. The association has
taken the course of duly notifying
the mayor on the subject.
This action on the part of the association Will have a beneficial effect, although previous to this the
contractors on the streets announced
that they were fully manned and
were not in need of any further additions to their staffs.
The various sections of work in
the city are again being operated at
a steady rate and the prospect is
that there will be a very busy summer here. The wish of the council,
according to recent discussions is to
have the contracts now under way
completed just as fast as they can
be finished.
The citizens generally will back
up any such move as there is awish
to have the streets put in the very
best shape for business purposes at
an early date. To do this it may be
necessary to put on double shifts on
most of the places. The citizens
will be pleased to see such a course
taken and have the thoroughfares
put in such shape that permanent
buildings may be put up and the
streets used to the fullest extent.

INCREASED OFFICE ROOM
City Assessor Has Had to Kind More
Room  for  His  Money
The city assessor and collector
J. C. McLennan, has found it essential to have Increased accommodation, Which is a most prosperous
sign from the city's standpoint.
The old quarters in the city hall
have been found altogether Inadequate for the collector to make a
proper disposition of the taxes and
collections that he is making, so added space had to be found, or else
he would have to forgive some of
the taxes, which he absolutely refused to do.
An addition to tlie assessor's
quarters by erecting a small building adjoining his old office, has
been put up by the building inspector and fills all the needs of the immediate present to perfection. The
quarters are so comfortable that
Mr. McLennan is loath to quit them
at closing time and is found working
far into the night. As a result the
taxpayers will not have to wait long
for their notices this year but will
receive their ever welcome requests
to   'pay up" In good time.
The new quarters were found absolutely essential in view or tho
fact that there has in the redistribution of the duties of the city hall
Staff been added responsibilities put
upon .Mr. McLennan and his staff in
the matter of making practically all
the collections for the city.

FISHERY POACHING
C H. Barnard in the House of Commons
Brings Up the Subject.
He Advocates the Use of the Kestrel
for Lighthouse Service and
New Fast Protector
In the House of Commons a few
days ago the question of the con-
trac. awarded to the Collingwood
Shipbuilding Com.iany for the construction of the lighthouse tender
Estevan for Britisii Columbia waters
for $200,000 was brought up by
Mr. Barnard, M. P. for Victoria, who
said : 1 would like to ask the minister if lie does not think it would
have been very much more advar
tageous to the service in that province to have used the Kestrel for
this service, and to have built a pro
per fisheries protection cruiser. He
could have built a cruiser, or possibly two small ones, for the same
amount of money, and thus have provided a fishery protection service.
The Kestrel has done this work at
different times and she is just as
good, if not a very much better ship
than the present lighthouse tender
—the Quadra. I would ask if that
would not be a far better disposal
of that amount of money than to
build this new ship?
Mr. Brodeur: I think my hon.
friend (Mr. Barnard) is mistaken
with regard to the Kestrel being
used for this service. The Kestrel
is engaged in the fisheries protection  service.
Does Not Protect
Mr. Barnard: She does not protect anything.
Mr. Brodeur: Well, I think she
is doing fairly good work. I do
not think she would be any use,
however, for tlie lighthouse service.
That requires a different boat entirely and tho Kestrel would not be
suitable. We are doing a great deal
on the Pacific Coast, though little
was done in the pr.st, and in view of
the large amount of shipping which
is being carried on it is necessary
to provide bettor aids to navigation.
We have one boat there which has
been engaged in light' ouse service
—tlie Quadra—but it was found
necessary that a new one should be
placed in this service. So we called
for tenders nad the contract has
been given to the Collingwood Ship
building Company.
Mr. Barnard: What I stated was
that the Kestrel had relieved the
Quadra from time to time, and I
think that is the case if I am not
very much mistaken.
Mr. Brodeur: I never heard of it,
and the commissioner of lights informs me that he does not remember it.
Mr. Barnard: I think he is mistaken.
Mr. Brodeur:     He may be.
Better Protection
Mr. Barnard: However, in connection with this question, I want to
point out once more, as I have already twice done during the present
session, tlie necessity for at once
providing permanency for better
fisheries protection on that coast.
Since the last time I mentioned this
matter in the House I have seen
some reports of fishery poachers
again operating on that coast, and
apparently without very much attempt on the part of this department to stop that poaching. I will
quote from the Colonist newspaper
of March 22, and possibly in quoting that I will show the minister
how much use the Kestrel is for the
purpose of fishery protection. The
article is as follows:
The fish poachers have seemingly
extended their operations from the
west coast of Vancouver Island to
the Queen Charlottes according to
advices brought hy the steamer
Amur. Arrivals hy the Canadian Pacific railway steamer from the islands state lhat two gasoline auxiliary United States fishing schooners were sighted with their dories
out fishing within the three-mile
limit off Rose Harbor close to the
whaling station. The schooners
were well within the three-mile limit, poaching on the British Columbia
fisheries grounds. The Dominion
government's fishery protecton
schooner Kestrel was lying at Queen
Charlotte City when the Amur
called  there.
Is Too Slow
My honorable friend's protection
cruiser, the Kestrel was within hailing distance practically of these
schooners that were poaching, and
yet, through no fault of the men in
charge, but probably because the
Kestrel was too slow to catch them,
they were not interfered with. This
question   has   been   agitated   by   the
people of that province for a number of years. They have been put
off with promise after promise by
the department for the same length
of time. Votes have been put into
the estimates annually and never expended, until today the situation is
a disgrace to this government. To
show you what our friends on the
other side of the line think in regard to this matter, I will read you
another short extract taken from
the Colonist of March 25, just the
other day, which publishes a statement from the Seattle Post Intelligencer. The quotation is as follows:
The halibut, schooner Montana,
which has been building at the shipyards of Markey & Wilson, In the
east waterway, was launched at 7
o'clock yesterday morning, says the
Post Intelligencer. The Montana is
being constructed for W. H. Butt,
of Seattle, and will be used off the
coast of Vancouver Island the coining summer. The vessel is 81 feet
long and IS feet beam. She will be
able to carry 90,000 pounds of halibut under deck. She will be
equipped with an 85-horsepower Imperial engine and her bunkers will
hold fuel enough for a 4,000-mile
voyage. She will be ready to leave
for the north in about three weeks.
Poaching  Promised
Now, I say it is the business of
the minister and of his department
to see that If that vessel does leave
for the north in three weeks, she
does not go to the west coast of
Vancouver Island, and if she does,
it Is further the business of the minister and his department and his officials to see that she does not carry
any 90,000 pounds of halibut. This
grievance has been going on unremedied for so long a time that one
gets almost tired mentioning it. I
understand that the minister has
some votes of the supplementary
estimates this year for the purpose
of chartering some vessels for this
service, and I want to tell him that
is not sufficient. He cannot hope
by chartering vessels to stop this
poaching. He needs a permanent
force there all the time. Now, last
year he chartered a vessel for the
fisheries protection service, which,
as a matter of fact, is a tugboat, and
he paid $21,465 for doing it. That
is an extravagant way of doing the
business, because this will need to
be a permanent matter. Every time
he charters a vessel he uses her for
two or three months, and then she
is laid off. The result is there is an
interregnum, during which the
poachers do just as they please
along the coast. If the honorable
gentleman wants to stop this, the
only way he can do it is by organizing a proper patrol of the whole
coast, and to do that he must have
a proper and regularly organized
force. I submit further, that he
will find it very much less expensive by going to work and ordering
his boats now. In the past he has
promised us cruisers and other
kinds of boats, and given us nothing. This matter is an outrage on
the people of the province of British
Columbia it has gone so far, according to reports that come from there,
that even the islands on the coast,
who see these poachers coming
ashore and breaking the game laws,
want to know why the Dominion
government cannot protect the fisheries which belong to them.
Minister's  Reply
Mr. Brodeur: I think the reports
mentioned by the honorable gentleman are somewhat exaggerated.
That question does_ not come up
under this item, but I may deal with
it. We have been doing our, best
to protect the fisheries. My honorable friend complains, and other complaints have been brought before
the house, that some of those poachers who come ashore, were stealing
game from the province. It is not
our duty to protect the game of
British Columbia, and that is a work
which pertains to the provincial authorities. If there is any lack of
protection or enforcement of the
game laws of the province of British
Columbia, certainly my honorable
friend is not justified in charging
this government with it. We are
looking after the protection of the
fisheries, and we are doing it so well
that I think nobody can seriously
complain. We had some fishery protection vessels there, but they were
not found numerous enough, and at
the request of some members of this
house, I do not know whether my
honorable friend is one of them,
we chartered a vessel to look after
the protection of the fisheries, with
very good results. Immediately after the Rainbow arrived in this country we gave her instructions to look
after the fisheries. The Rainbow'
has done so, and the other day she
seized an American vessel which
was fishing within the three-mile
limit of the north shore of the island
of Vancouver, off Cape Scott. The
matter is now before the courts, and
will soon be adjudicated. I hope
we will succed in proving that this
vessel was within the three-mile limit, and that her seize\-e was valid.
My honorable friend will admit that
there has been a good deal of exaggeration in the reports In regard to
poaching. People think that a vessel iB fishing within the limit, when,
as a matter of fact, she may be outside of it. Three miles is a short
distance from shore, and people Imagine that the fishing is going on
within the three-mile limit when it
is outside.
I'nder-Estlinatcs   Situation
Mr. Barnard: With regard to exaggerated reports, I think the minister has very much under-estimated
the situation in which they are exaggerated. It is a matter of common knowledge all along the Pacific
Coast cities that that goes on practically unchecked, and has gone on
for years; and 1 am much mistaken
if a great many representations
have not been made to the minister
by boards of trade and other official
bodies to that effect. With regard
to his suggestion that I am complaining that the game laws of the
province of British Columbia are
not enforced by the Dominion government, he is either very dense or
is trying to misinterpret what I said.
That is not my complaint at all.
What I am trying to point out is
that the fishermen are actually so
bold that they come into the harbors along the coast, anchor their
vessels and go ashore, and commit
breaches of the game laws. They
leave their vessels and go ashore,
and tnere is no one to check them.
Mr. Brodeur: What can be done
in a case like that?
Mr. Barnard: I am not asking
this government to enforce the game
laws, but to stop these men from
fishing. If you stop them from
fishing, they won't come ashore.
That is the situation. I am not
asking the minister to enforce the
Britisii Columbia game laws; as has
been shown frequently, the provincial government are well able to
take care of their own game laws.
But I say the minister and his department have so far neglected to
stop this poaching, they have
brought the administration in that
particular into contempt, and not
only into contempt of the business
people of the province, but into the
contempt even of the aborigines
who are not supposed ta know
very much about it.
The latest Eldorado is in the
Province of Quebec, some sixty
miles northeast of Haileybury, where
it is said some 60,000 acres have
already been staked as a result of
reports of some good free gold finds.
The district is called Keekeek and
the Quebec Government intends to
boom it.

They must be put to work. Old Russell Sage said: "Plant a few in a new country

the biggest opportunity of this kind that is likely to knock at your door this year.

Prince Itupert lot speculators do
not need to have pointed out to
them what magic lies in the nn-
t>ouncement that the great railway
company and the government are
partners in the Ellison townsite.
That should be enough to bring
them n-running, (tut not everybody has the time to read the newspapers as closely as your uncle. In
the Manitoba Free Press of April
5th, for instance, there was a hiy
headline reading: "Hundred aud
Seventy New Towns to he Horn hi
Western Canada During the Coming
year." Reading the list one finds
many are Grand Trunk Pacific
towns, hut not one in British Columbia. No, Ellison and Prince Itupert
are the townsites in this province in which the railway is directly
interested at  this time.

ELLISON—Where Atlantic Locomotives will toot salute to Pacific Steamers on the Skeena River—ELLISON
WHY ELLISON SHOULD GROW
ONE of the most popular of all
the official reports published
hy the British Columbia
Columbia Government is tho one
bearing upon its title page the caption: "New British Columbia,"
which has become generally known
as "Bulletin No. 2 2," that being the
official number of the report. It has
been widely distributed and you
will have little difficulty in finding
one. On one page of this popular
report you will read this official
declaration: "Upper Skeena will
become one of the garden spots of
British  Columbia."
ELLISON, from its advantageous
position, with the Skeena River
navigable for large steamers at its
front and a great transcontinental
railway intersecting it, should naturally become the metropolis of the
wonderful garden spot of Britisii
Columbia referred to in the official
report.
ELLISON lots lire ready sellers.
Why? Just study the map a minute
or two.
ELLISON is a townsite in which
the Government and the Grand
Trunk Pacific are active partners.
There can, therefore, be not even a
shadow of doubt as to its future success. You are invited to share in
this certain success by investing in
a few town lots while they are at
bottom prices. There are only n
few on sale ami unless you are
Johnny-on-the-spot on the day announced as the Opening Day of our
sale you may be disappointed. Better make your deposit as soon as
possible and we will get you in on
It at the prices fixed for our first
offering.
ELLISON should, within a short
time, have a regular train service,
as it is but a little distance from
Mile 104, to which point it is expected that trains from Prince Rupert  will  be  running this  summer.
ELLISON may not be the only
pebble on the Skeena River beach,
but it certainly is the only townsite
on that navigable water in which
the railway company have announced themselves interested. No
doubt next year there may be other
additions and sections put on the
market, but by that time prices will

have  gone  up.    Now  you   have   a
chance to be in on the ground floor.
DOLLARS invested in good
ground, rapidly grow. Did you look
at  that map?
WHERE the Grand Trunk Pacific
and the Government are joint owners in a townsite the lots should be
regarded as a safe invest nent. Your
money invested In ELLISON, or in
Rogers addition or any section that
may be offered later, is safeguarded
by every legal method human foresight can conceive. Wliere one
might and properly should hesitate
before investing in townsites promoted by individuals or town-promoting companies, there can be no
hesitancy or misgiving as to town
lots  In which  the  Government  and
the  Grand   Trunk    Pacific   Railway
are jointly interested.
ELLISON is different.. Do you
catch on? What better guarantee
can you  possibly look for?
ELLISON lots should double and
treble and then go up some. It is
believable that they will soar four
or five times above present prices.
You are a lucky chap today if you
own even one. If you should think
of selling it and want quick action,
list it with us. We feel confident
the demand for these lots will exceed the number we have at present
to offer.
PRINCE RUPERT'S brief history
will be repeated in the sale of
ELLISON  town  lots.
ELLISON should have the most
rapid growth of any new town in
Britisii Columbia or anywhere else.
Lots in the sections we are now
offering for sale, as well as such
additions and sections that may be
offered later, may be calculated to
bring investors similar returns to
those resulting from the first sale
of Prince Rupert town lots.
ELLISON, where the Grand Trunk
Pacific Transcontinental trains from
the Atlantic will first strike that
wonderful Skeena River,
ELLISON is probably tiie greatest
opportunity for investing a few dollars on a reasonably certain chance
of winning big profits you are likely
to see this year. But don't forget
that the number of lots is limited
and you will have to hurry some if
you want, to pick out one of the
choicest locations.
ELLISON needs at present merchants, hotel men, "the baker, the
butcher and the candlestick maker,"
more than lot speculators, but they
will come later all right, as they
did in Prince Rupert, and pay BIG
RENTS.
ELLISON  trades people will  live
TIME TO GET A "HUNCH"
in a town where railway freight
rates will always be regulated by
the competition of water transportation, as Ellison will be the last important landing up tbe Skeena
River. It is where the railway leaves
the Skeena Valley to follow that of
the famous Bulkley Valley.
ELLISON is your opportunity
GRAB IT. "Opportunity knocks nt
every man's door.". Knocks all tlie
time but  some people are sleepy.
ELLISON is on the market NOW.
It is very doubtful if any other
Grand Trunk townsite in British
Columbia will be on the market this
year. Better come in early and gel
a little Ellison in your list of holdings. Start a few dollars to work
there and see what they will earn.

ELLISON is destined to be tlie
principal shipping point not only for
the agricultural belt in the Bulkley
and adjacent valleys—just glance at
the map again and see what a vast
country will depend on Ellison for
its supplies and transportation for
its products. And then, when Grand
Trunk officials announce the fact
that it is THE townsite in the Hazelton district in which their company
is interested, you are reminded of
the great mining activity that district is promised this season, the
machinery to go in and the rich ore
to come out.
ELLISON, tlie metropolis of "The
garden spot of British Columbia."
Remember that railway townsites
cannot be chosen in British Columbia like they are on tlie prairie between Winnipeg and Edmonton—
every eight miles a town, every hundred and thirty miles a divisional
point. In British Columbia there is
great engineering ability required to
lay out a route, many natural obstacles to contend with, and towns
must be located wliere the engineers
can find suitable land for sidings.
Ellison is an ideal spot for a town
outside of its superiority geographically. Like grape nuts, "There's a
reason," why it should be at the
point where the railway leaves tlie
Skeena Valley.    Eook at your map.
ELLISON is the first spring opening of Grand Trunk Pacific offerings
in the way of town lot opportunities.
There may be others later, but
there's no certainty when. Jump in
and take a flyer. .Money will not
grow in your pocket, it should
grow every month this summer If
you plant it in ELLISON, How can
you lose? You don't have to put up

A   BRIGHT   PROSPECT
Of all the cities on the Pacific
coast, Prince Rupert has reason to
expect the most portentous developments this summer. There are
places with larger populations,
where, of course, there will be much
greater volumes of trade done than
will be the case here. There are
no places, however, that have so
much to expect from the develop
ment work that will be done in the
country tributary to it.
This yaer will see practically the
beginning of development In a commercial way for a very large portion
of the interior of the province along
the route of the Grand Trunk Pacific. That line will be operating
this summer and carrying into tho
Skeena district those who will expend capital in the exploitation of
the resources of that territory.
The result of this portends great
things. This fall is likely to see the
opening up of mines of such richness that here will be built up camps
that will rival the best that the
province lias seen so far in its history. These will have Prince Rupert
as their base and judging from the
results obtained fro mthe properties already opened up there can be
little doubt that the mineral is there
in vast quantity.
UNIVERSITY   PLANS
Hon.   Dr.   Young   Tells   What   the
Government Has in View
with Itespect to It
Hon. Dr. Young, the minister of
education for the province, at the
annual banquet given at Westminster Hall in Vancouver, in tracing
back the initiation of the university
at Point Grey, referred to what they
were proposing to do In the future.
He did not intend this year to
ask for competitive plans. It was a
great mistake to ask for these plans
in a general way. What he intended to do this year was to call for a
ground plan scheme, and when he
had received these he intended
first to select three or four of these
plans. There was no reason, as far
as could now be seen, why Westminster Hall should not be in her
own building on those grounds in
1913 (cheers). If, however, this
could not be, and it was necessary
to arrange otherwise, temporary
buildings would be put up, and
classes would certainly commence in
the mid-summer of 1913. It would
be a great mistake, he pointed out,
to build buildings that Jiight do for
a period of say twenty-five years.
What was wanted was an elasticity
in the buildings that would amply
meet the modern educational requirements.
Instancing the number of British
Columbians at the present time
•tudying in 1110" eastern part of the
Dominion and the high class of
work they were doing, he was satisfied that the students at the new
university would be such as to show
the Dominion a great object lesson.
He assured them of his best efforts
on their behalf, and wished them
godspeed.

BENEFITS   OF   PUBLICITY
Alberta     Is    Deriving    Advantages
from a Wisely Directed
Campaign
arrivals since Saturday is placed  at
1,200.
The 900 hundred odd settlers
brought out by the publicity department came in four separate excursions. From Montreal came 500
sttlers from Europe, and eastern
Canada who distributed themselves
all along the line from Calgary
northward, every little town getting
in a share of the party. The majority of them, however, went to
Vegreville, and will settle in the St.
Paul de Metis district.
On the excursion from Toronto
came over 200 settlers to Edmonton. From Great Falls, Montana,
Commissioner Clarke brought a
similar number to the south of the
province. From Wisconsin, H. M.
Kenny, of the International Land
Company, brought two carloads of
buyers who wil   purchase land.
That the publicity department
has full expectations of keeping up
the record they have created in
bringing 900 settlers in three days,
was stated by Mr. Hotchkiss this
morning. All of his commissioners
have in sight many similar excursions that they will bring through
the summer. Commissioner Mail-
lette has in sight at least 1,000
more settlers. Commissioner Mc-
Cutcheon, from Toronto, will send
out several more special excursion
out several more special excursions
similar to that he brought through
on the Grand Trunk and Grand
Trunk Pacific last Saturday, Commissioner Morin, in Michigan, expects to bring his first excursion of
Michigan farmers to the province in
May, ad others later.
The Alberta publicity department
was organized with the express purpose of increasing the population of
the province to the 400,000 mark
necessary to secure increased indemnity. The census comes in
June. By that time the department
expects to have more than fulfilled
its objects.
"For the first time," said Commissioner Hotchkiss, "Alberta is
getting its fair and just share of the
immigration into the west. Formerly we got only a handful of the
thousands who came west. Now, we
are getting more than an equal proportion with the other western
provinces.
"The great cause of this has been
that we have realized the importance of securing the settler before
he leaves home, or before he is
booked. We have now commissioners at the ports of entry, and at all
starting points, and the money and
efforts we have spent along this line
are reaping their just rewards. We
cannot change the route of a settler
once he is on his way. We must
have him booked to this province
before he starts."

SAILING  CANCELED
The Grand Trunk Pacific steamer
Prince Rupert will not make the
trip this week. She has remained
over at Victoria to undergo repairs
in her boiler room before entering
upon the summer schedule. This
course was considered wise, in view
of the fact that the spring rush has
not yet really commenced. It was
decided that it would be wiser therefore, to have the repair work done
permanently now rather than have
to lie off later in the season.
FISHING   VESSEL   SUBSIDIES
An order in council has been
passed at Ottawa rescinding section
6 of the act to encourage the development of sea fisheries and tho
building of fishing vessels, and substituting the following:
"5. Canadian registered vessels,
owned and fitted out in Canada, of
10 tons and upwards (up to 80
tons), by whatever means propelled,
contained within themselves, which
have been exclusively engaged not
less than three months in catching
sea fish, other than shell fish, salmon or shad, or fish taken in rivers,
or mouths of rivers, shall be entitled to a bounty calculated on the
registered tonnage, which shall be
paid to the owner, or owners, provided that vessels known as steam
trawlers, operating beam, otter, or
other such trawls, shall not be eligible for any such bounty."
FOR SKAGWAY RUN
Announcement of the new spring
and summer schedule of the Canadian Pacific Railway coast service
steamers hap been made from Victoria. According to the new arrangement there will be six steamers a
month for Skagway, the Princess
May and Princess Royal running on
the northern route. The first sailing on this new schedule from Victoria will be June 5, and Alert Bay,
Swanson Bay, Prince Rupert, Port
Simpson, Ketchikan and Juneau will
be included in the ports of call.
Skagway boats will leave Victoria
on Mondays and Thursdays of each
week. The steamer Beatrice, now
on the Vancouver run, will be used
this summer on the Queen Charlotte
Island route, and will make two
trips a month from the south. The
new schedule will become effective
May 1, and will continue so un
September 1. Details of the service
to Seattle and Vancouver, on the triangular run, for the sumer months
have not been completed.
TRYING EXPERIENCE
About 35 miles off the west coast
of the Queen Charlotte Islands,
when on her way from Kyuoquot to
Naden Harbor, the little steam
whaler Brown, Captain Christoffer-
sen, of the Canadian Northern Pacific Fisheries Company, had a trying experience some days ago. Disabled, with fifty fathoms of- chain
out, her anchor took hold within i
mile from the rocks of the Islands.
The Brown is undergoing repairs in
Victoria.
The little whaler had left the
Kyuoquot whaling station to proceed to the new station at Naden
Harbor, Virago Sound, on the northern coast of tne Queen Charlottes,
and ran into a heavy storm.    When
daylight came the vessel was laboring in a great sea off the west of
Queen Charlotte Islands in the open
Pacific, big seas breaking over her,
combers sweeping her decks and
drenching all on board.
Through the engine room skylights a big sea broke into the engine room and knocked second engineer Bergen from the ladder. Then
there was an explosion, a sudden
shock when the cylinder head,
blown upward, struck the metal of
the casing above with force, and, as
a cloud of steam arose, the main
cylinder head roled from the top
of the engine and fell beside the engineer on watch, who escaped serious injury by a narrow margin.
The enine room was full of steam in
an instant, and, after winding cloths
about his arms. Chief Engineer Ed-
wardsen rushed forward, and, while
the scalding steam burnt his skin
off, he shut off the steam.
Meanwhile the steamer rolled
heavily, and with the steam shut off,
fell off into the trough of the sea,
listed over to starboard so much
that the waves swept along the
bridge, and Captain Chrlstoffersen
and the helmsman were waist deep
in the swirling sea. The coal on
deck shifted to starboard, and the
vessel listed so much that the crew
feared she wolud capsize, but the
whalers are excellent sea craft. She
righted and rolled over to port, and
the deck crew hurriedly shoveled
the shifted coal back, while the seas
broke over them, drenching them
from head to foot as they worked.
Captain Chrlstoffersen and the
helmsman sa wthe steam clouding
from below and realized that something had happened. The vessel
was swung over with difficulty, and
efforts made to keep the Brown's
head to sea. Below Chief Engineer
Edwardsen, and his second, John
Bergen, and others, worked to make
temporary repairs, and the work,
carried on in face of great difficulties, with the steamer rolling from
beam to beam in the trough of the
heavy sea, with water sweeping the
decks—she rolled so much that tbe
sea broke away the starboard sidelight—was skilfully carried out.
The carpenter made a wooden
cynider head to pig the blown out
cylinder, and the engineer disconnected the high pressure cylinder
and shut off steam, and meanwhile
the steamer drifted. The wind was
blowing on shore, and despite all
that could he done, the little steamer drifted nearer the rocky coast.
Hour after hour she drifted, rolling
from side to side, as the seas struck
her, and meanwhile the chief engineer took a metal door, and, with
this material he cut out a temporary
cylinder head with difficulty, working against time while the vessel
drifted shoreward, with her anchor
and fifty fathoms of line out.
It was 8 a. m. when the cylinder
head blew out, and ten hours later
the makeshift head was clamped
tight in place, and shored down, and
steam was let into the intermediate
and low pressure cylinders with a
head of 80 pounds of steam, instead
of the usual 180 pounds, and the
vessel which had meanwhile brought
up to her anchor within a mile from
shore, was worked into a safe anchorage, whene the engineers went
over their work and effected such
temporary repairs on Saturday and
Sunday last as permitted the vessel
proceeding to Victoria,
It was a most praiseworthy performance, reflecting great credit
upon the seamanship and engineering ability of those on board, and
shows the seaworthiness of the little vessel, one of the five new
steamers recently added to the local
company's fleet. For hours, with
the seas sweeping up over the bridge
often waist deep in the water, the
captain and- steersman navigated the
disabled vessel, and the engineers,
with their arms scalded by the
steam which escaped before tbey
could close the valves, worked arduously and with great difficulty, to
effect temporary repairs. First it
was a wooden cylinder head, the
work of the carpenter, then a crude
cylinder cover cut from a metal
door, but it held in place, and when
the Brown reached Victoria 3he had
the cover cut from the Iron door
still clamped in place.

Tuesday,  April 25,  1911.
THE accompanying views taken along the route of the Grand
Trunk Pacific across British Columbia, are from the collection made by the official photographers and artists,
who made the trip last summer. The,construction of the Grand
Trunk Pacific means tlie opening up of a new scenic route
across the continent, in this age> when tlie travelliing public
are awaiting a change continually, the inauguration eif a new-
route like the one to be offered will mean much. It will resul
In a stream of tourists seeking the newest attraction.
The scenery along the Grand Trunk Pacific is acknowledged
to be second to none on the continent. It will, near the eas
ern edge of tlie prairie, run in full view of Mount Robson, the
highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. As the western terminus is reached, the travellers will be carried along the banks of
the Skeena with a delightful change of scenery from time to
time, with fertile valleys soon to be filled with settlers, and
snow-capped   peaks   with   ever-changing features.
Long before the Grand Trunk Pacific is completed as a transcontinental road, there li to be a great new field for tourists.
it will lie opened this summer, when by means of the palatial steamers plying on this coast, travellers may visit this city
and before many weeks pass have the opportunity of invading
the interior by means of the railway supplemented on the
upper  reaches  of the  Skeena by the river steamer.
Doubtless Prince Rupert will see its.first invasion of tourists this year and will have to prepare to take care, of them
These will come in increasing numbers from now on. It is. In
reality,  the  beginning  of tbe city's growing time.
The city should undoubtedly take steps to give due publicity
to the attractions of this northern country. Exact information
on this subject is required It is gratifying to know that steps
are being taken by some of the citizens in this direction and
before long a definite proposition along this line' may be ready
to be offered to the general public. Communities can no better do without publicity work in these days than can the private business. Judicious advertising always pays and the north
warrant all that can be said in its favor.
Prince Rupert must remain the centre of that vast field of
investment. Tlie awakening of interest in any section of this
country   means   added   wealth to Prince Rupert.
HUNTERS' : PARADISE
The results of the trip through
Jasper Park of R. W. C. Lett, travelling passenger and colonization
agent of the Grand Trunk Pacific
last summer with a couple of authors, an artist and a photographer,
will appear in book form about the
first of May when F. A. Talbot, the
representative of World's Work,
who accompanied Mr. Lett on his
trip, will issue a beasutifully illustrated volume entitled "The Garden
of Canada."
The material for the book was obtained during Inst summer's trip
over the Grand Trunk Pacific grade
and over the survey through Jasper
Park and west of the mountains.
Ever since his return to the east,
articles from Mr. Talbot's pen on
the country  west of    Edmonton  in
Alberta and along the Fraser River
in British Columbia have been appearing in tlie World's Work magazine and these have been very favorably received by engineers and others who know the country thoroughly.
The book will be illustrated by a
number of photographs obtained by
Mr. Lett during the trip. These include pnotographs of the hot springs
in Jasper Park, of the forests in the
park and west of the summit in
British Columbia and r.!so of the
mountain streams nad the lakes of
the district.
In order to secure a photo of the
lake lying at the foot of Mount Rob-
son, Mr. Lett spent two days cutting a six-mile trail through the
dense timber from the right of way
to the lake. This body of water is
known to the old prospectors as Six
Mile Lake. Mr. Lett states that it
rivals in beauty Lake Louise in the
park at Banff.
"For big game hunting, the country bordering on Jasper Park cannot be excelled," said Mr. Lett. "Of
course, shooting in tlie park is not
permitted, but there are large unexplored areas outside the reserve
that abound in big game. There is
no reason why Alberta should not
make as much out of its game preserves as New Brunswick out of its
moose country. There are large
areas in the Brazeau country, where
moose are plentiful and north of
Jasper Park there are mountain
sheep and goats in large number.
Grizzly bears are numerous, both in
the park and beyond the boundaries.
Mr. Lett stated that enquiries are
being received from a large number
of tourists as to whether or not it
would be possible to secure guides
in the park this summer and he believed a large number of tourists
will visit the place, even though the
railway is not completed beyond
Prairie  Creek.
THE ANGLO-INDIANS
An acute division of opinion has
sprung up over the official announcement that the government of
India has decided that members of
the domiciled community are to be
classed as Anglo-Indians, and not as
Eurasians, in the census tables.
The Times of India denounces the
decision: "This must, be the first
time since people were numbered
when any government has deliberately employed a misdescription in
census tables. Presumably there
are dictionaries in the government
offices. A reference to any dictionary shows that Anglo-Indian, as
a substantive, is defined as 'A native
of England, or of the British Isles,
resident in India.' If any lingering
doubts remain, a further reference
will show that the term native
means 'a person born in a particular
place or country.' The term Is consequently, etymologically, as wrong
as can be applied to the domiciled
community.    There are many cases
where etymology and practice have
hut scant connection; but everyone
—at least everyone outside the Imperial Secretariat—it quite aware
that in literature and in common
parlance Anglo-Indian is invariably
used as implying a native of England or of the British Isles resident
in India, never a person of mixed
parentage. It would be interesting
to know what possible excuse can
be offered for this visible and patent inaccuracy except deference to
importunity. And it seems only
natural to conclude that such a palpable attempt to ignore hard facts
can only fail in its purpose. We
should be happy to believe that the
official acceptance of the blessed
word 'Anglo-Indian' would charm
away all the disabilities, social and
economic, under which the .domiciled community labor. But the
way of the world is higher than
that. The domiciled community will
find that the appropriation of a des
ignation is a small thing after all,
and there is genuine spade work to
be done before they can realize
their ambitions."
On the other hand, the Englishman supports the new nomenclature: "The change has been made
at the instance of the Anglo-Indian
Empire League of Bombay. The
Anglo-Indian Association of Calcutta would rather have the word 'domiciled,' but apparently failed to put
his views before the government.
There are, of course, some objections to the application of the term
'Anglo-Indian' to the community because it has another and common
application, but on the whole no
one will regret the dropping of the
word 'Eurasian,' which was often
used in a contemptuous sense."

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL
IN CAUSE OF PEACE
Thinkers in Germany and Great Britain
on the Ontlook Presented.
Conflicting   Views   Held    by   Those
Who  Have  Studied  the
Subject
The editor of Public Opinion desired to know whether there was any
hope of any very Immediate approach to political rationalism in
the relations between Great Britain
and Germany; and to discover
whether public opinion In Germany
was hostile to such new conceptions
in politics as outlined In "The Great
Illusllon," and whether ethere was
any nucleus of enlightened thought
in Germany which might furnish a
"point de depart" for such reforming as would sensibly affect German
policy.
He therefore put the question to
• considerable number of German
public men—members of the Reichstag, professors in the German universities, German pastors, journalists and men of affairs generally.
Sir Edward Grey's remarkable
and unprecedented speech, in which
he held out friendly hands to both
Germany and the United States, and
In which he feared revolution and
danger to civilization if the burden
of armaments was increased, also
shows that this question is no academic one, but fundamental, urgent
and of supreme importance, and
possible of solution if wise hands
lead.
A Grave Question
The  gravest  question  which  confronts  British   statesmanship  today,
says Public Opinion, is this:
"Can Germany be brought to see
reason in the matter of armaments?
Has she really any motive pushing
her to aggression upon England?"
We know the theory of those who
are most insistent as to the necessity of an absolutely predominant
British navy: Germany is determined to "fulfill her destiny by
challenging Britisii world-supremacy at sea." Mr. Robert Blatchford
in the Weekly Dispatch, returns to
the attack. We are told that Bismarck, the pupil of Clausewltz, laid
down the lines of Germany's advance
half a century ago. First, Austria
had to be put back to a secondary
position. The Prussian army was
therefore made—and used. Then
France had to be reckoned with;
preparations were made—and the
necessary action taken. Then Germany was united and the period of
expansion begun. Her "future lay
on the sea"; but the British navy
stood in the way. An army had been
made to cope with Austria and
Francfe—and had been used. A navy
is necessary to cope with England.
It is being made—for use.
A Duel Between Millions
Such is the theory, and if it is a
true one, how can we hope for any
definite reduction of armament? Indeed, if it is true, we are only at the
beginning of the contest. As the
Daily Mail pointed out on Friday,
Germany is acting not only in alliance, but in close, practical co-operation with Austria, and in formal
alliance at least with Italy. Great
Great Britain's ententes are very
loose, so that we shall have to build
against a combination represented
by 140,000,000 of highly civilized
and highly organized people. If,
therefore, the real conflict is of the
nature which Mr. Blatchford and
those who share his views have Indicated, is it likely that 140,000,000
will withdraw from the contest before 40,000,000 do so? If the orthodox principles of international
rivalry are well founded, the present
estimates are a mere fraction of
what may be expected in the not
very distant future In the effort to
outbuild a resolute combination outnumbering us more than three to
one. i
But is the orthodox view well
founded? We know the modifications In tbe axioms ot European
statecraft, which a notable discussion of the last twelve months has
tended, to introduce. There is a
growing belief that organized society has reached a condition of Interdependence which renders the domination of one nation by another a
social and economic futility. Whatever principles may have guided
politics In Bismarck's time, it is today generally recognized that even
If Germany could by some magic
realize all her dreams in international politics, or what we are given
to suppose are such, could at one
stroke dominate Europe, her people
would not benefit thereby in the
least, and the real problems which
confront them and clamor for treatment remain as far as ever from solution.    If, therefore,    the   German
people can gain nothing by this
Titanic conflict, are they likely to
precipitate it, to take the frightful
risks of aggression, when, even if
successful, their victory will be
without profit?
Where We Stand
The present stage of the discussion among the best minds in Europe is this: The material truth of
the thesis is in large part admitted;
but it is urged that so much out of
keeping with German ideas is it that
it is never likely to be recognized
and influence policy within any period tha need concern us, or as Sir
Edward Grey has laid it down:
"True as the statement in that
book may be, it does not become an
operative motive in the minds and
conduct of nations until they are
convinced of its truth and it has become a commonplace to them."
The practical question then is
this: Is there any hope of it becoming a commonplace? The most notable statement of this newer view
of international relationship, and
the one to which Sir Edward was
specifically referring, is that embodied in Mr. Norman Angell's book,
"The Great Illusion," which has appeared not only in English but in
practically every European tongue.
What Germany Thinks
It appeared to the editor of Pub-
lie Opinion, therefore, that expressions of German opinion on that
book would serve to show as well as
anything, the trend of opinion In
Germany, and whether we could in
the future look for any modification
of political ideas which would lead
to a solution in the direction indicated.
Answers were received from some
two hundred letters of inquiry addressed at random to members of
the Reichstag, university professors,
clergymen and authors. Not one reply categorically hostile to the thesis has been received—unless that
of Captain von Sossberg, can be so
considered.
The fact that all those sufficiently
interested to reply at all are precisely those favorable to the more
modern conception of international
statecraft, would go to show that
there colud easly be found in Germany among those active in thought
and politics—those that is, who
help to mould German opinion—the
nucleus of a propaganda which
would so transform political ideas
as to render a thesis like that embodied in "The Great Illusion" a
commonplace, or,  to adopt Sir Ed
ward Grey's phrase, "an operative
motive in the minds and conduct of
nations," furnishing by that means a
solution which can never be found
in the sheer bulldog rivalry of warship building, especially when forty
millions have to outbuild 140. Such
a contest would only end—if no
other factor is introduced—in one
of two ways: Collision, which is
war; or exhaustion, which is bankruptcy.
Public Opinion then quotes from
a number of the letters showing
that there is throughout Germany,
among the influential classes, a genuine desire for peace, and especially
for the cessation of rivalry in arma-
mens.
 o	
B. 0. DIAMONDS
The report of the Geological Survey of Canada that Simon pure diamonds are to be found in th© Mount
Olive district of this province has
stimulated very active interest in
the district in question and many
prospectors have gone in from
Princeton and are staking claims in
an endeavor to secure precious
stones large enough to be of commercial value, several of these hav
ing lately been discovered in the
conglomerate. In a letter to a
friend at Princeton heading the Ottawa date of ten days ago, Mr.
Charles Camsell, of the Dominion
geological staff of experts, says of
the original discovery, that "the
sample of chromlte from which the
diamonds were obtained also yielded platinum and gold. This is the
first time I have been able to see
the platinum in solid rock. * » *
Practically all the diamonds obtained are clear and white, apparently excellent gem stones, if we can
only find them bl genough and there
is no reason why we should not."
Interest in the diamond discovery
In the Tulameen section continues
Actual prospecting for diamonds in
the "wash" will begin as soon as the
snow leaves that altitude.

RECIPROCITY BILL
Sir Edmund Walker Breaks With the
Liberal Party on This
issue.
He   Believes   That   It   Would   Be   a
Sacrifice on the Part of Can
ada to Enter Agreement
In a special Canadian number of
the "Iron Age Hardware," Sir Edmund Walker explains the reasons
for his opposition to the reciprocity
pact. He speaks without partisan
bias, as becomes one who has always
been a Liberal, but finds it necessary to break with is party on a
great national principle. Sir Edmund says that there was a time In
our history when reciprocity with
the United States would have been
of some temporary benefit to this
country, but that was before Canada "had a great national establishment of its own for the carrying
on of business with the world at
large." Times have changed in the
last twenty years, and for Canada
to go into the deal today would be
to prove herself "the most foolish
nation under the sun."
A Warning, Not an Inducement
Sir Edmund doubts that the
agreement would temporarily increase the prices of certain of our
raw materials, but even admitting
for the sake of argument that it
would, he denies that this would be
the reason for Canada concurring in
it. The fact that the anxiety of the
Americans to get our raw materials
wolud raise their prices should rather warn us that they were making
Canada the "slash" of North America. He compares the American
manufacturers to the foolish virgins
whose oil has been nearly consumed.
They turn their eyes to Canada and
see our resources almost untouched,
and naturally desire to fill their
lamps from our stores. The strongest argument in favor of reciprocity
on the American side of the line is
the access it promises to Canada's
Taw material. Again and again,
have President Taft, Secretary
Knox, Governor Foss, Senator Beveridge and others pointed out that
the free admission of Canadian raw
materials would relieve the strain
on the remaining reserves in the
United States. Thus Uncle Sam
colud achieve the feat of eating his
cake in Canada, and having his cake
in the United States to stay his industrial stomach later in the day.
Export Duties Recommended
The provinces of Ontario and Quebec have demonstrated how our raw
materials should he handled. They
require that the timber cut on
Crown lands undergo manufacture
before it is removed from the country. The Dominion Government in
1897 passed an act prescribing a
stiff export duty on pulpwood,
whether grown on Crown lands or
on private lands, and imposts of the
same kind on certain ores and
mattes. This act has never been
brought into effect by proclamation,
as was provided, and judging from
the policy of the government in the
reciprocity deal, Is not likely to be.
Nevertheless, the passing of the act
displayed true vision as to Canada's
destiny. It presupposed that this
country was to be great, that the
"Twentieth Century was to.be Canada's century," and that Canada
would have need of all her own raw
materials. "The fact that the
United States has now to look beyond its own bounds for resources
of raw materials ought to admonish
Canadians as to their duty to themselves in respect to this agreement."
Sir Edmund says that "to place the
country's raw material at the disposition of a foreign power would be
like parting with territory."
. ncrifco Demanded of Canada
The need of the United States for
the agreement is plain enough, but
why should Canada be expected to
sacrifice herself on this account? It
was not by sacrificing her interests
to those of her friends that the
United States had become a great
nation. For a good many years now
Canada has been trying to follow the
good example set at Washington;
and as a result of the recent policies
of both the Conservative and Liberal parties, our national industries
are healthfully expanding under the
large Inward movements of population and capital from other countries. "Canada is going forward at
an amazing rate alon ggrooves It
lias made for itself. The agreement
wolud be an influence to deviate the
country from the splendid course on
Which it has set out. It might operate to decompose the commercial
bonds now well established between
eastern and western Canada, and to
bring about commercial union upo
lines  running     north     and     south.

Commercial mergers that take in
national corporations are generally
followed by political mergers."
There was certainly no popular
demand for a reversal of the National Policy. Never were Canadians
more prosperous and contented.
This is not the time they would have
chosen to make experiments.
 o	
A BUFFALO HUNT
Montana's     Herd     to     Be     Finally
"Rounded Up" for Delivery to
the Canadian Park
Two hundred Montana Indians
have started on the greatest roundup of buffalo ever witnessed in the
west, in order that Michael Pablo,
the Montana Buffalo man, might
carry out his intention of delivering
to Howard Douglas, commissioner
of parks at Edmonton, every hoof
that is yet left wandering on the
Flathead reservation, near Missoula,
Montana.
The round-up will cover 40 miles
of territory, and will be even more
spectacular than the first big roundup which took place three years ago,
when the Canadian government got
its first consignment of the buffalo
from Pablo.
Pablo has given orders to the Indians that every hoof must be
cleared off the reservation, and
those animals that resist capture
are to be shot.
Pablo has made elaborate preparations for the event, and has had his
200 Indians mounted on the best
ponies procurable. The Indians are
of the old stock that were wont to
hunt the monarch of the plains in
the old days, and they are trained
to the job.
As a result of this huge round-up,
Pablo expects to deliver to the government for the park at Wainwrlght
at least 60 more head, and possibly
as many as 80.
Fifteen head of the buffalo from
Pablo's ranch are now on their way
to the buffalo park.

of the same offense, there was no
necessity for the coroner, Dr. Hart,
to issue a warrant for his arrest.
Attached to the verdict were the
following recommendations which
will be forwarded to the proper an

"That tbe attention of the Domin
ion government he at once called to
tbe lack of regulations of coastwise
shipping governing cargo on passenger boats;
"That a more rigid and frequent
Inspection be made of all life saving
appliances on any and all passenger
boats;
"That all passenger vessels be
made to carry life rafts and steel,
unslnkable life boats, and that no
boat be rated for more passengers
than its capacity."
