He was given a splendid re- j ception, and his address was, as usual, of an argumentative kind, making many friends for him. Mr. Clements is never abusive. He deals with the questions of the day on their merits, having the subjects well in hand. The evening before, Mr. Clements spoke at Port Simpson and was given a most gratifying reception, practically everyone in the place turning out to hear him. He was assured of a splendid support in that voting place. At the Wednesday evening meeting here the chair was taken by Dr. Clayton, who spoke briefly. William Manson and D. R. Y'oung of Queen Charlotte city also delivered short addresses, the most of the time being given over to the candidate. Dr. Clayton in his introductory remarks referred to the far reaching effects of the reciprocity question. Anything that would revolutionize commerce was something that had very far-reaching effects. He extended an invitation to Duncan Ross, Mr. Cowper, or any one who wished to represent the Liberal party to come on the platform, and they would be given a place on the programme. The invitation was not accepted. William Manson William Manson, M.P.P., the first speaker, said that he was satisfied that Mr. Clements would be the next member for Comox-Atlin. In support of this view he head from a private letter received from the soutli, Mr. Clements, it was stated, had created a great impression and would win a majority which it was hoped would be duplicated In the north. Mr. Manson referred to the fact that the Liberal party had by the attitude since attaining power paid a compliment to the National Policy of the Conservative party under Sir John A. Macdonald by continuing that policy. The history of the present reciprocity pact was traced. Canada had prospects and affairs were moving along well. As Britishers we had a desire not to make trouble with other nations, but we desired to maintain the closest relations among the different parts of the Empire. Canadians wished to be friendly with the people of the United States. There was no quarrel with the Americans. They wanted the Americans to come in and help to settle up the country. He had married an American girl and other Canadians could well do the same. Canadians as a nation did not want to marry the whole American family, however. Wanted Raw Materials The United States was bound to have the natural products of Canada. The United States was going to lower Its tariff walls even in order to get them. The government of Canada had acted too quickly. The Conservative party had Insisted upon an appeal to the people on this question before entering Into the pact. Mr. Borden had offered to aid in passing a redistribution bill before taking an appeal to the country but the government refused to do this, leaving the west unrepresented in large part. He admonished all to vote for Mr. Clements and avoid buildim; ejp any other than a strong Canadian sentiment favorable to Britis'i connections. Mr. Clements Mr. Clements was pleased to see so many ladies present, for their Judgment was usually good. He had no ill-will towards the United States. The people of that country were astute and had made remarkable progress. He was pleased to describe this reciprocity pact rather as a reciprocity steal. The Liberal government had feared to meet the electorate upon the issues of the day, knowing that it would go down to defeat. As far as reciprocity was concerned he be- (Continued on Page Eight) Lighthouse on Queen Charlottes to Re Started at Once With Force of Men From Here Among the arrivals hy the Prince Rupert on Wednesday was Mr. Killeen, who has charge of the lights and fog stations on this coast under the department of marine.

The station, he explained, would be a first class one, equipped with a lighthouse and foghorn and quarters for the staff. Mr. Killeen was in a great hjirry to get started, which is always the case with the department work at election time. PAST DANGER STAGE Wheat of the Prairie Provinces is Not Liable to be Affected Now. Cold Snap Found Crop Nearly AH Cut and Harvested Ready for Threshing (Special to The Journal) Winnipeg, Sept. 8.—Cold weather Is general throughout the west. On \\ > . edtry night frosts were record, ed from a dozen places In Saskatchewan and Alberta while Manitoba also suffered from a cold snap. The question of damage now is largely a matter of what stage the standing grains are in. Represents the districts scout the idea of any serious damage heing done at this date. A large percentage of the wheat is either in stook or threshed, while the standing grains are only waiting the binder to reach them.

TEMPORARY HALL City Has Commenced Work on Excavations for What Will be Civic Headquarters. PREPARING FOR ACTIVE WORK G. T. P. Has Given Notice That Buildings on the Reserve Nay be Required to be Removed Any Time on a Month's Notice—Plans for Large Undertakings Well in Hand The settlement of the G. T. P. taxation question in this city is to be followed, It is now evident, by a policy of development by the company. Officials of the G. T. P. are a little reticent about their plans, preferring apparently to avoid all danger of building up a too optimistic spirit. At the same time active steps are being taken to carry out on rather a large scale the work in view. Notice has been given all those on the company's reserve that they will be expected to vacate at any time at a month's notice, which Is a precautionary step towards being in a position to clear the company's property when works are to be carried out for terminal and hotel purposes. In a few days a start will be made on the clearing away of the yard for the passenger station and the sidings necessary there. There is a large amount to move. This work will involve the site of the Inn, which, it is expected, riiay be converted Into temporary offices for the company when the scheme is carried out, the present offices having to be removed. The work on the hotel site with the levelling off and filling in near McBride will take considerable time and many months will be taken up in the preparation of the foundations. On the site of the dry dock, and the yards between Cameron Bay and Hays Creek, there will be a tremendous amount of material to remove, which with other works will call for the employment of a large army of men. ". !*e»l work of the G. T. P: In Prince Rupert Is only beginning. These works made necessary in connection with the terminal facilities are such that it wjll mean the expenditure of millions within the next few years. From now on every year will see increased expenditures until the place has been prepared for the opening of the great transcontinental and trans-Pacific trade. The unfolding of the company's policy here as time advances will make real estate in Prince Rupert the best investment on the coast. There are going to be immense opportunities for investment and with the formation of definite plans for all their work here the lines of buslines of business are to be established with consequent rapid advances in values in different parts of the town- site. The investing public has up to a few weeks ago shown a tendency to postpone putting money in here, preferring to take chances on some of the older cities. In many instances these investors are going to find out to their sorrow that they have put off too long to get the richest advantages. Tho wise investor will no^ put off longer in turning in the direction of Prince Rupert. Today the city Is in its formative period. With the enunciation of its policy from time to time by the G> T. P. now will depend the chances for investment. Never in the history of the place has there been a better feeling than prevails now. Residents of the city feel that with large expenditures about to be made by the G. T. P and by the city there is an assur ance of settlu'd conditions here. !

INCREASING SERVICE G.T.P. Will on Saturday Begin a Service to End of Track Three Times a Week. Line Is Growing iu Popularity—To .Meet Demands Company Puts on Extra Trains The G. T. P. will on Saturday initiate a new train service out of the city to Vanarsdol, at Mile 100. The new service will provide for a train out of Prince Rupert every second day, Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, with a return train on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. This move on the part of the general superintendent, Mr. Mehan, is made necessary in consequence of the increasing traffic on the road. It is not the Intention to reduce the time of the run to any great extent at present, the train being a mixed one and requiring to do shunting at the various sidings along the route. Connections are made with the G. T. P. steamers here and with the river steamers at Vanarsdol. The work of ballasting is progressing rapidly and eMr. Mehan will soon have the entire stretch In first class condition so as to he taken over as completed. Every one who makes the trip remarks upon the splendid character of the road and the obliging way in which all the officials look after the comfort of the travelling public. The passenger traffic Is steadily growing and the wonder now is how- people got along without the railway in the months previous to the opening of the service. Every train both ways carries practically a full complement of passengers. o—■ Fire Last Night A fire near Eighth Street last night caused considerable damage to two cottages owner by Mrs. Ellis and Mr. Bradshaw.

An Assay Shows 5,000 Ounces From What Ih Nol the Richest of the Kind (Special to The Journal) Hazelton, Sept. 8.—A sensational find of native silver on Hudson's Hay Mountain, forty miles east of here, lias just been reported. Considerable excitement In consequence has been created, Specimens brought here show an abundance of Ihe metals, which occurs in bornile ore. One assay, not of the best ore, returned 5,600 ounces. Fred Allan Is the discoverer. There has been a rush of prospectors from nearby camps to the new field as a result of the rich assays. Dl'LY NOMINATED Yesterday at noon the nomination proceedings were held here In the court house by the returning officer, F. G. Dawson. The two candidates only were named, Herbert S. Clements, the Conservative, and Duncan Ross, the Liberal candidate. The council meeting on Tuesday evening found Aid. Hilditch with a grievance against Aid. Newton fof editorial reference to himself. A hitter exchange of words followed in which unparliamentary language was used and the necessity arose for the mayor to call the aldermen to order and cease the altercation. Aid. Hilditch referred to an interview published in the Empire in which It was credited to the mayor that he had said that the work in connection with the water bylaw might be expended under the direction of the water committee, that point having not yet been decided. The Interview went on to state that control of the work would certainly not he transferred, as had been suggested, in favor of Aid. Hilditch. Aid. Hilditch said that he would not care so much as to this item had it not been for an editorial in the Empire, which he read, and which attributed the opposition to the bylaw to the distrust of Aid. Hilditch. Aid. Hilditch asked tlie mayor if the interview given in the Empire was correct. Proceeding to deal with the editorial, he said he would not |have wondered so much had this come from a section of the press that did not know the full situation and how these matters were handled. Aid. Newton surely knew that there was no chance for graft. If there was graft, Aid. Newton, as a member of the finance committee, was rspon- sible, for all the accounts had to go through the hands of that committee finally. It became a question of Aid. Newton trying to do a scurrilous thing or of not knowing what he was writing about. He was forced to the conclusion that Aid. Newton had an object in view and that was to attempt to stab him (Aid. Hilditch) in the back. It. was chfldls'.i to v.iake such a charge as had been made. Mayor Explains His Worship said that the first part of the interview published in the Empire was a fair report of what he told an Empire reporter in reply to an inquiry. He made no slighting remark with regard to Aid. Hllditch or any other alderman, however, and the latter part, of the interview was not in accordance with anything he said. Aid. Newton Aid. Newton said he did not feel very well and he did not expect to have taken much part in tlie meeting. He supposed he would have to meet Aid. Hilditch, although he did not feel like speaking. As far as tlie editorial was concerned, he took full responsibility for it. He was sorry that there was a member of the council so weak lhat it became necessary, in order to ensure the passage of the bylaw, that he should have to write as he did. Through the stories connected with Aid. Hilditch's name, it was necessary to take the stand he did to allay public opinion In this matter in order to have the bylaw pass. That was his sole reason for taking the stand lie did Unparliamentary Liiiigiiiigt- Aid. Hitldltch thought Aid. Newton deliberately lied when he said he did not Intend to slab him. Aid. Newton had no other motive In view. Ills Worship called upon Aid. Hllditch to withdraw the expression. Aid. Newton suggested: "Oh, let him go on. Every time be opens his mouth the more lie hangs himself." Aid. Hilditch said he would withdraw these words, but he would say Aid. Newton was not telling the truth. He would not object so much were Aid. Newton able to show anything he had done during his term of office. He was, however, only a drone. He had attempted to disorganize the engineering department and had met with no success.. Aid. Newton had little to show for the eight months In office except for the little time that he was acting as head of the finance committee, and then he had shown himself up. They had an example of his placing Insurance for private purposes. He (Aid. Hllditch) had sat as a member of two councils. He had never seen an attempt by any member of those councils to graft. Aid, Smith, he felt (Continued on Page Eight) ■*. .< n -"^S PRINCE RUPERT JOIRXAL Friday, September 8, 1911. HARDY PIRATES "The people of Normandy are Just now celebrating the thousandth year of their settlement in that country, tlie period of 1,000 years being counted from the meeting between Charles the Simple and Rollo, which took place in 911 at Saint-CIair-sur-Epte," says the Morning Post in a highly interesting article?. "At thai time the Northmen had been for many years a tei»'or to the coasts, and Indeed for many years masters of the Seine as well as of the lower waters of the Loire. Contemporary writers usually called them pirate's, inn they were nol pirates in the modern sense of tho word. There was little seaboard trade with wliich they could Interfere. "Their practice was to harry and rob on land. One of their boats, which was dug up in Norway thirty years ago, is 7(1 feet long and 16 feet wide wliere the breadt'h of beam is the greatest. It is only about four feet deep, and had no deck. The oars are about seventeen feet long, and the rudder was a large oar held on the starboard side. The rowers' benches were short seats at the boat's sides, interrupted so as to leave plenty of room for a free passage from bow to stern. Thirty-two round shields, about three feet in diameter and alternately red and black, were fixed around the boat's sides and there was also found a chessboard, of which the pieces were held in their places by pegs fixed in the middle of each square. Evidently the warriors had means of amusement during the leisure of their voyages. "When they landed for an expedition they seem to have made long and fast raids, helping themselves to horses, and ready to fight either mounted or on foot. Sometime? they made a fore on the river bank and there built smaller boats in order to penetrate far into the interior. It was their raids which ompelled the inhabitants of most of the coasts of Europe to organize themselves for defense, and to put such chiefs as could build forts as havens of security. By the end of the ninth century these raiders from the sea had established themselves in a large district on both sides of the Seine and had made many incursion further inland. "The successful defence of Paris against one of their attacks seems to have been the beginning of the rise of those lords of Paris, who eventually became kings of France. In July, 911, an expedition of Northmen under Rollo was besieging Char- tres when it was attacked by Robert, Count of Paris; Richard, Duke of Burgundy, and Ebles, Count of Poitiers. The townsmen, under their bishop, made a sortie, and the Northmen were defeated with great loss. The moment seemed favorable to make some sort of an agreement with them, and on the initiative of the Archibshop of Rouen, King Charles the Simple was Induced to come to terms with Rollo, the leader of the Northmen. "The Church had already been busy among the Norman warriors, of whom a certain number had been baptized, and at a meeting arranged where the road from Paris to Rouen crosses the River Eptee, Rollo agreed to become the king's man, and the king to confirm him in the lands which be had already conquered. "Nothing is more remarkable Ihnn Hi" progress of the Normans from the time when their settlement wns completed and rec ;nized In 911. The French language had only just taken shape. The earliest document known to its historians, the famous Stras- bourg oath, miglii have been bud- Bcrlbed to as a boy by an nhi man present at the Interview between Rollo aud Charles. Yet, In a generation or two the Northmen bad forgotten their mother tongue, and were speaking the best French of their Time. They were no longer Northmen but Normans, and they were In the van of civilization. The imported the best soldiers and made much of learning. They encouraged architecture, sacred and profane, as their cathedrals and their castles attest. They were still the best masters in the art of war. "M. Albert-Petit, In his scholary paper In the Revue des Deux Mondes, sums up their qualities in a word when he says that they were preeminently men of organization. Theirs it was in after times to create the wonderful Sicilian kingdom and theirs, by their remarkable powers of organization, to give new and long-lasting shape to the monarchy and the political Instiiitions of England. Their gift of organization was accompanied by an equal power of adaptability. A few generations of life- In Normandy transformed them from Frenchmen into Englishmen. Wherever they went they were leaders, and became identified with the population which they led. "Their material traces are spread far and wide. The Norman castle may be seen hy the Seine and by many an English stream. But it may be seen also on the rocks of the Peloponnesus and it may he seen In ils supreme grandeur amid the hills of Syria—a monument of the energy with which the west has sought to penetrate the east and the futility oi' the effort. Yel tlie east is willing to learn from tlie west the lessons of force. The castle built by the Turks to dominate tlie Bosphorus Is a proof that the house of Othman learned something from the house of Rollo. "Possibly the greatest work of the Normans lay entirely outside the scope of their intentions. It was their presence which shaped the destinies of France. In resistance to them the lords of Paris were com? polled to become strong and to lay the foundations of the French monarchy. Through resistance the monarchy which they founded in England, the French nation came into being. This is the instinctive if not the historical justification of what might seem at first sight the anomalous combination of the celebration of the thousandth anniversary of the formation of Normandy with ceremonies performed in memory of the maid, the now cannonized representative of . I'ench national feeling. "A totlch of realism was given to the Norman Fetes hy the arrival at Rouen of five Norwegian students In a Norwegian draker," says the Times. "Wishing to re-enact the exploits of their ancestors a thousand years ago, five men left Christiania In the middle of last month and covered the voyage, partly sailing and partly rowing. They are said to have been somewhat fatigued on their arrival, when they were welcomed by large crowds assembled on the quays.' o BIG LUMBER DEAL THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE SIR EDMUND WALKER, C.V.O., LL.D., D.C.L., President ALEXANDER LAIRD, General Manager CAPITAL - $10,000,000 VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Timber and Trading Company has closed a de"al with the Red Cliff Lumber Company of Duluth for the purchase of some 30,000 acres of crown granted timber lands on Vancouver Island. The timber on this tract is estimated at close on two billion feet of first class merchantable timber. Mr. Von Alvensleben of the Vancouver Timber and Trading Company refuses to give detailed information as to this deal, suggesting that this is information which should be reserved for the copany and its shareholders. When asked, however, if the purchase price exceeded $2,000,- 000, he would not contradict the stateent. At any rate, he Indicated that he was exceedingly satisfied with the tiber in question which the copany lias acquired with a view to cutting as soon as market conditions warrant it. Mr. Von Alvensleben believed that the tie for doing this would not come before the Panama Canal was finished. When asked if his company contemplated increasing its holdings still more, Mr. Von Alvensleben said that it was prepared to buy timber, but the offerings on the market were scarce. Mr. Von Alvensleben says he believes that the owners of timber in the province should all make efforts to have the limber surveyed since the present custom of selling unsurveyed lands, hi Bald, would lead sooner or later in a tremendous amount of litigation, and in many cases he declared result in undermining the confidence of 'iiit.siilc capital in the stability of Ilritish Columbia investments.

It was a cheery message to the Conservatives of Victoria that Mr. Lindley Crease brought with him after completing a lengthy vacation tour which took him as far as England. Mr. Crease says that on his return trip across Canada lie found a marked change in the sentiment of the people towards reciprocity; and tlie best informed men believe that so thoroughly are the people becoming aroused that the defeat of the government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier is a certainty. During his visit to England Mr. Crease was much impressed with the amount of interest shown In this province. Everywhere he went he found men who either had money invested in flie country or who had relatives here. This province was in greater favor than any other portion of the Dominion. He met a number of financial men who were preparing to invest heavily in the country, the feeling being that owing to the unsettled political conditions in the Old Country Canada was a safer field for investment. Referring to the political situation In Canada, Mr. Crease said: "Mr. Borden's campaign is meeting with wonderful success, and new- adherents are joining the ranks to right against reciprocity from all quarters. It is significant of the outcome of this conlest that the opponents to the pact are fighting with the confidence of victory. They are moved not by party cries or election tactics but by a deep and intense feeling that the future welfare and prosperity of Canada, as well as the solidity of the Britisii Empire, Is at stake. They are moved, too, by resentment against tlie attempts of some of the American press to bulldoze us into accepting the pact. "The expression of some individual Americans daring Canadians to refuse to accept reciprocity now that the American government has offered it, rouses the temper of Canadians, who are jalous of our national Independence. "They naturally ask: If we are to be subjected to pressure from Americans at this stage, how much more shall we be when they want a reduction of the tariff In other Items besides natural products; and what may we expect If we should enter Into ibis proposed agreement, and find it does not suit us, and want to withdraw (rom It, when we have become entangled in it? "People, loo, nre alive to the fact thai there never has been reciprocity in Canada as the Dominion now exists. The reciprocity of 1854-1866 was before Confederation. It applied only to upper and lower Canada. Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia were not parties to it. "If any deductions can be drawn from the effects of reciprocity as it affected Canada In circumstances so so different to the existing ones we might also draw our deductions from the conditions prevailing in British Columbia before Confederation, and before the Canadian tariff was in force, when the financial and commercial conditions were so deplorable as to cause grave anxiety for the future development of the country."

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL ^1******************<t********************************* | SIR DONALD MANN \ * * ***************************************************** The ideal situation of Canada under present conditions, with regard to its substanntial development on the best, largest and surest lines, with the co-operation of the\ money power of the Mother Country, was the inspiring theme upon which Sir Donald Mann, vice president of the Canadian Northern and its related Interests, waxed enthusiastically eloquent in chatting with a member of the Colonist staff in Victoria. Sir Donald is an Imperialist in a large way. He believes through and through that there is no alliance so Important as a factor In the making of Canadian greatness as that at present obtaining, with the people of this Dominion as the working partners and their kinsmen of Great Britain as the capital finders, for the systematic exploiation of the potentialities of the vast virgin areas of the northern portion of the American continent. .Moans Development "The situation under existant conditions is ideal," said Sir Donald. "We have a great new country, a country in the raw as yet, but Immensely rich in possibilities. It needs for its comprehensive and adequate development two things—capital and population. Great Britain, on the other hand, has excess population, and it is the money power of the world. In the development of our vast virgin areas the people of the Old Land are the people we want to augment our working forces here. Some of them when they come to us may lack adaptability; they may find it difficult to fully play their part as makers of a new nation, but their children will be all right. They Donald incidentally. He said that under conditions across the line the handling by rail of wheat, for the world's traffic was impossible, inasmuch as the traffic would not stand division of the receipts among three or four forwarding lines, with unas- sociated steamship lines also to be considered. Here in Canada, the Canadian Pacific, the Grand Trunk Pacific and the Canadian Northern, not only have or will have their own lines, distinct and Individual through to a sea base, but their associate water lines as well. Either of the three Canadian lines could thus handle the wheat with no division of traffic earnings. And its cars carrying the wheat to the Atlantic would be returned to the west with a backhaul of Eastern Canadian products required by the west—never having left the metals of the owning company, and earning revenue for that company both going and coming. In the United States, if the wheat crop were to be shipped by rail from theh collection centres, the railroad companies would necessarily scatter their cars over an infinity of lines, and be unable to locate or get them back again perhaps for years. This situation gave and would preserve the advantage in the marketing of the wheat of Canada to the Canadian railroads. FINDS A NEW RACE Explorer Steffanson Tells of Finding Strange Tribe Which Had Never Before Seen a White Man A race of people who had never before beheld a white man or an will be of the country and capable of doing their share in its upbuild-1 Indian has been discovered in the ing. And they are people of the I Arctic regions of British North Amer- blood and stamina we want as clti- iiea °y Vilhjmar Stefansson, leader of zens—men of the fighting strain. As jthe American Museum's scientific ex- to the money, Great Britain has it Peditlon, wliich left in April, 1908, ready for us. Tlie people at Home according to a letter recently recelv- look with especial friendliness upon efi from him- Canada as a field for unlimited in- In a letter which Is dated, "Mouth vestment. They have confidence in of Dease River, October 18, 1910," our resources and in our methods of government and of business. They are .ready to co-operate with us to the limit in the making of our country's future, their hearty co-operation being based on the strongest and truest sentiment. "And what is the result? Canada is more prosperous and in better shape for expansion today than ever before. It Is on the eve of the greatest era of development that it has ever known. Britisii money is available for Canadian industrial enterprises in unlimited volume. The British people are ready and anxious to to join With us as family partners in the development of our land; in the first place because they have confidence in our methods of government, in our institutions, in our stability and bona fides; and in the second because of sentiment—they feel in becoming our partners in the making of a great Canada they are strengthening the Empire of which Canada is a part. The capitalists of Britain trust us now. They have lost confidence in the United States and in United States methods, and, besides, the republic to the south is out of the family and sentiment plays no part with the Britisii capitalist to its advantage. Cause of Good Times "We see the result In the good times Canada now enjoys—largely through the readiness of Britisii capital to come in with us. Why, we had $200,000,000 of British money Invested with us in a single year. We see the result in the United States In falling slocks, in general depression and hard times, in the Inability, for the first time, of theh United States investments to obtain capital in the world's great market, while It. is placed al Canada's disposal In unlimited volume. We see It in the fact that thousands of workers are being discharged by the American railroads, while on this side we are taking on more and more men every day. Look at. it from every standpoint, the situation under present conditions is ideal in the live, practical and best possible partnership existing between Canada, with a great virgin country to be developed and peopled, and the Home Land, with the money necessary for the work and surplus population for us to recruit from,—a partnership with Canadians as the working and Britishers as the moneyed partners—a partnership based upon a sterling sentiment of kinship with and confidence in Canadians, from which partnership we stand to gain more, and are gaining more, than could be obtained under any other possible association." Handling of Wheat Crop The peculiar advantage of the Canadian railroads in marketing the wheat crop was touched upon by Sir and is the first intelligence received from the party within a year, Stefansson said: "We have discovered a people in a region supposed to be uninhabited and have lived a few months among people who had never seen a white man or an Indian. They had heard of both, but did not even know they were not Eskimos, so little were they informed of what white men are like. "We discovered Eskimos in speech and habit who are Scandinavians in appearance. "This find is the solution of one of two problems: "What became of Franklin's men? "What became of the 3,000 Scandinavians who disappeared from Greenland in the fifteenth century? "Or, if neither of these questions is to be answered, then we have introduced a new problem of scientific interest: Why do some of the people of Victoria Land differ markedly from the rest of their race? Why are they so European in type? We have discovered the non-existence of a stream which the maps make the size of the Hudson River. When the River La Bonciere disappears from the map, I shall feel I have done some house cleaning. "We have found a certain cape to be an island, and a certain island to be a cape; we know the source of the Rae River; of which the mouth and the lowest ten miles were seen by Dr. Rae; and a few other odd things we have done that are in the nature of discoveries. But, of course, If we deserve any credit it will be for our online work more than for any discoveries properly so-called." Stefansson left New York on the present expedition in April, 1908. Ills principal purpose was lo study the' different tribes of Eskimos in the northwest and more especially an unknown tribe living In Victoria Land. The explorer Is about 33 years old and is a graduate of Harvard University. He is more than six feet tall, of a ro'bust physique, and lias devoted many years to anthropological research, particularly among the Eskimos of the northwest. H. Gordon Munro W.

A TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT The time taken by the city council a few evenings ago in discussing the question of whether or not there mlghl wiih advantage be an executive committee of tlie council appointed by that body in connection with the water works and hydro-electric scheme, might have been better taken up with some other business. To follow the arguments of some members of the council on the sub- jee-t one is forced to the conclusion that they consider that while the members of the council sitting as a body are sure to be honest that there is a possibility that when they sit in smaller bodies as in committee there is danger of dishonest actions. If it were to be decided that the work was to be done under the supervision of the whole council rather than under a committee we believe that the question of an executive committee being possible should not have been discussed for a minute. To appoint such a body is the most natural thing and is an assurance of better service than under the plan of doing the work only through a more or less cumbersome body such as a council constitutes. In every line of operations it has become the practice to relegate to committees a considerable share of the executive work in whatever line of enterprise one looks. This is done in the interests of efficiency and to avoid unnecessary loss of time which ensues when a large body must be called together to take up every little detail. All the acts of these committees have to be passed upon by the central body, which is a sufficient guarantee of the work being in accord with the general policy of the council. There is nothing more mischievous in a community than the creation of a spirit of suspicion with respect to the conduct of public affairs. Since the city became incorporated less than sixteen months ago there has been an attempt made by a section of this community to create distrust with respect to the conduct of mu- nieipal government. Councils are not infallible any more than the people who elect them and whom these councils represent. Prince Rupert has been blessed in its history so far with fairly good councils. The members of the two bodies thai have been so far elected in the city have worked bard in tlie interests of the place and have given really more of their time to the work than most of them could well spare from their own business. If suspicions are to be cast upon all the acts of the members Prince Ruperl is going to find itself saddled with a council probably that will not be composed of the best elements in the community but by self seekers and those with axes to grind. policy because I believe it will prevent entangling alliances with the American Republic Our experience so far with the Americans has not, been very satisfactory. Since Mr. Chamberlain has declared himself in favor of a preference to the colonies the Americans have begun to show considerable anxiety for renewing reciprocal trade relations with us. I ] have not quite forgotten the reasons : why the reciprocity treaty negotiated by Lord Elgin in 1S56 was so sum niarily repealed in 1866. Neither is j my judgment closed to the hostile character of the Dingley Bill, by which the American market was prac- tically closed against the Canadian manufacturers and farmers. In my judgment the commerce of Canada should never be placed at the mercy of the United States Congress or of any other nation." IAN RATE The city council has struck Its rate of taxation for the year and It is gratifying to all that it is as low as it is. A rate of 12 mills, which, under the rebate system for prompt payment, brings it down to a little over 10 mills, is indeed a low rate as compared with most of places. It is true that there are local improvements rates to be added to this but every other city has these so that Prince Rupert's taxes will compare very favorably with those of sister cities, where it is quite usual to have from 20 mills to 25 mills as the rate for general taxation. There has been a creditable economy shown by the council which will be appreciated by all citizens at this stage of the city's growth. WATERWORKS PLANS Construction of the Undertaking Will be Under the Direct Control of the Whole Council. If Defined Advisable an Executive Committee May Be Named to Act RESERVES, HIS DECISION Sir Qeorge VV. Ross, former premier of Ontario, and still a great authority in that province, has not made a public deliverance on reciprocity during this campaign. Perhaps he wishes to save his political friends from embarrassment, and like Mr, Blake in 1891 Is hold is holding back his manifesto until after the votes are counted, lint Ihe people' know where he stands. Before the treaty was made he strongly con- demned reciprocity <• n Beveral occasions. Fur example, sir George used the following words In an address to the Canadian Club al Toronto: "I also favor Mr, Chamberlain's The city council will sit as a com mittee of the whole In the handling of the waterworks and hydro-electric scheme for the city. This was decided upon at the council meeting on Tuesday evening on the report of the water and light committee, of which Aid. Smith and Aid. Clayton were the members present in the city, Aid. Kerr being absent. There has been some question whether the carrying out of that work would be put In the hands of the public works department or in the hands of the water and light com- mitee, there being reasons for either course. The water and light committee, however, propose a solution which has met with favor and which puts the work in the hands of the whole council, it being suggested that weekly sittings of the committee shall be held. The question came up on a request made by tbe city engineer for various articles of equipment in order to begin preparations for the installation of the new system. He set forth that two additional engineers would be required In order lo do the necessary work of survey at the lake. He suggested thai orders should be placed for the material that would be required in the way of pipe, etc., and made the suggestion also that work should start on the Acropolis Hill reservoir. As to the pipe line, he made' the suggestion that there mlghl be a start made on the island in Shawatlans Passage in bringing the line Into the city. In this connection lie' reported Hint even before the' last part of the pipe at Luke Woodworth was In for conveying the water to the point of separation tor the two systems lie could, 111 case1 of em emergency, put water Into the lily ley utilizing the pump to be pul in .Morse Creek at Lake Shaw atlans and force water through the mains laid to the city. , The Whole Council The report of the water and light committee based on this information conveyed by the engineer recommends that the work should be under the charge of a committee consisting of the whole council, wliich might sit weekly as the work progressed and so conduct the affairs. If deemed advisable, the report further stated, an executive committee could be appointed to deal with matters coming up that required prompt attention. During the discussion which followed Aid. Smith made it perfectly clear that the water and light committee had made the report-It did in view of the fact that it was felt that there would be too great a demand upon the time of the committee itself to handle this work and that the whole council might better have it in charge. Some objection was raised to the idea of an executive committee when the report was read. Aid. Douglas and Aid. Newton both favored the whole council doing the work without an executive committee. Executive' Committee It was ljointed out by Aid. Smith that the appointment of an executive committee would allow quicker action in case of emergency than if they waited for the whole council to meet. Aid. Douglas looked at it in a different way. Aid. Smith no doubt proposed to do it in a business way; but he (Aid. Douglas) looked at it from another way. He wanted everything above board. He wanted to have everything done in the open council. Aid. Smith took the last speaker to task, stating that there was never any intention of doing anything other than above board. Aid. Douglas said he nieajit to cast no aspersions upon any one. As to Aid. Simth, he was above suspicion. Aid. Newton was opposed to the proposal for an executive committee so as to avoid criticism. He believed this should be started out in any open way. If lat* an executive were necessary it could be added. Paternal Capacity Aid. Clayton made reference to the paternal capacity in which. Aid. Douglas posed. Aid. Newton and Aid. Douglas both admitted that this proposal of an executive committee was a business proposition. This surely should be a recommendation for the public. He felt that the executive committee could effect a saving of time. Everything that the executive did would have to be passed upon later by the council as a whole. His Worship pointed out that the executive was not, according to the report, a necessity. It was to be appointed if foun d necessary and would only be appointed when the necessity arose. Aid. Smith said that was his idea in connection with the matter. Aid. Hilditch's Views Aid. Hilditch said that if he was outside the council he would have little respect for an alderman who was afraid of what the public would think. He believed in doing the work in a businesslike way. He thought the water committee could well handle this. Half of this $550,000 would be for supplies. The works department had during the year the expenditure of about $600,000, of which little was for supplies. This was not such a large undertaking that the committee could not attend to it. He was not afraid of the criticism on the outside. Aid. Kirkpatrick felt very much of the same mind. He ridiculed the idea of having the work done by the whole council in order that one might watch the other. If such were the purpose It was a foolish course in lake. The council must bnve con- ttdence in one another. I'li'i- Talker I luring i he further discussion Aid. Douglas Intimated Hiat he was not telling all he knew, to wliich Aid. Hllditch replied, "I never knew Aid. Douglas to have anything to tell that he did not tell." Aid. Smith said he did not want ************************** * * * i * * ^m t * I _ * Remember That we Import Our Wines t direct from Europe; and that ? no house in Prince Rupert can * equal them for quality.

If the council did not want the work relegated to the whole body his committee would take it. He was actuated In moving as he did because he felt he had not the time personally to give to the work the attention that it would require provided the water committee had it in charge. Aid. Clayton stood by the report of his committee. The public by the vote on Saturday had shown confidence in the bylaw and would, he felt, surely approve of the whole council handling the work. Aid. Hilditch said the only way to accomplish this was by going about it in a businesslike way. He did not care for the criticism of the opponents of the council. It was proved by the vote that the council has the confidence of the people and it was expected this would be carried out in a businesslike way. The report finally passed as introduce, although Aid. Newton and Aid. Douglas persisted in striking out the reference to an executive committee. o —■ No Insurance Tlie city council, or the advice of the city solicitor, has decided not to Insure the new team of horses purchased recently anil now in use on the streets.

Morocco is most intimately a Spanish problem, although it probably is more importantly a pan-European problem. Spain holds several small coastal cities in the territory of Morocco, chief among them being Ceuta, in plain view of Gibraltar across the narrowest part of the Strait, and Melilla, farther to the east. Ceuta is simply a Spanish port, but at Melila the Spanish claim a "sphere of influence" in the hinterland which amounts io an assertion of suzer- alnty over the Riff tribes lhat inhabit the region. Spanish capitalists operate mines in the Melilla country. The Riff tribesmen objected to the operations, and two years ago a Spanish army invaded Morocco and subdued the natives. The war was so unpopular at home that it led to the riots in Barcelona and to the overthrow of the Conservative government. Tlie present Madrid government recognizes clearly that Spanish national intersts demand the participation of Spain in every diplomatic movement concerning Morocco and that at the same time every act on the part of the ministry will involve the danger of a domestic revolution, perhaps merely political, possibly one of blood. Unique Among Nations of West .Morocco is unique among the nations of the West. Its sovereign is a sultan, who rules over the Shereef- ian Empire with the absolute authority of civil and religious supremacy. Unlike all other Moslem monarchs of the present day, who must recognize the religious authority of the Sheik- ul-Islam, the sultan of Morocco is the head of the faith as well as of the state. The present sultan, Mulai Hafid, is the lineal descendant in the thirty-sixth generation of AH, uncle and son-in-law of the Prophet .Mohammed. He came to the throne by virtue of leading a successful revolt against his brother, Mulai Abel- el-Aziz, having had himself proclaimed suhtan of the City of Morocco, the southern capital of the empire, in August, 1907. Six months 'ater he was acknowledged in Fez, the northern capital, and a year later in Tangiers, the diplomatic capital. In January, 1&09, he was formerly recognized by the Powers upon his obligating himself to respect the engagements entered into by his predecessors and the provisions of the Act of Algeclras. .Morocco occupies the northwestern corner of tne continent of Africa, and is known to its people as Magh- rlb-el-Aska, or "The Extreme West." It is nearly as large as the State of Texas, and although a great part of its area is desert, it supports a population of about 5,000,000 people, a great, many of whom are nomads without fixed habitation. The people are Berbers, Bedouins and Arabs by racial descent, and there are also a great many Jews and negroes. Pez- the principal capital of the sultan, has a population of 140,000; Tangiers, the principal seaport, has about 35,000. The country annually exports about $13,000,000 of products, chiefly barley, cattle, wool, Hides, Morocco leather and poultry. It sends more than $1,000,000 worth of eggs each year to the European markets. And all this in spite of a total lack of government or modern transportation facilities. The Act of Algeclras was the outcome of a conference of the Powers called to consider the problems of Morocco, internal as well as external. Early in 1904 a series of conventions entered into by the British and French government ended several issue's In ellspiilc and established the niuili-dlsi'iissed Franco-British entente cordials, chief among the considerations of this practical alliance were the abandonment of all French pretensions to predominant Influence In Egypl and the Upper Nile country, and a reciprocal acknowledgement ■ em the part of Greal Britain of the supremacy of French Influence In Northwestern Africa, Including the Moorish coasts and hinterland. Nobody raised any objections at tlie time. Eleven months later, the military power of France's ally, Russia, in the meantime having been destroyed by Japan, the German emporer, on a yachting cruise in tlie Mediterranean, landed in Tangiers and made a spectacular speech, recognizing the complete and absolute independence of his Shereefian majesty Abel-el-Aziz. Powers Sinn Act of Algeclras The kaiser's speech was followed by such aggressive activity ou the pari of the German government lhat the French minister of foreign affairs was forced to resign under most humiliating circufstances. The Germans called for an international conference to decide the status of Mo- THE PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Office is equipped for all kinds of Job Work*. Prompt attention given to all orders, and work handled by the most competent printers. rocco, and the ultan supplemented the call with an invitation for the delegates to assemble in Tangiers. But the Moorish hotels are not very good, and therefore the conference assembled on January 15, 1906, at Algeclras, in Spain, a port on the coast of the Strait of Gibraltar at which three different Moorish armies had landed to effect the conquest of Spain in the days when the crescent was bright. After several weeks of discussion the Act of Algeclras was drawn up and signed by the Powers. This act provided for the reform of tne internal affairs of Morocco and for the uniform treatment of European investors. The overthrow of the then reigning sultan . his brother was not recognized until the new monarch obligated himself to respect the Act of Algeciras. But in fact the act has not been worth the parchment on which it is written. Mulai Hafid has flouted it by giving a German firm, the Mannesbann Brothers, a blanket mining concession that laps over and invalidates all other mining concessions. Germany has flouted it by seizing the port of Agadir, on the western coast, near enough to Gibraltar to be a menace to the Englishmen. France has flouted it persistently and quietly, pusing westward the line of its Algerian settlements. Spain has flouted it by extending its sphere of influence hack to .Melilla and by seizing Alcazar. As a matter of fact, every one of the European nations want a slice of Morocco, with its rich mineral deposits its productive herds and flocks and the possibilities of its grain fields. o— • CAR OVER GROWS NEST Remarkable Run From Calgary lo Cranbrook, II. <".. of Motor Car The tremendous progress being made le.v the manufacturers of automobiles In perfecting the construction of their machines to meet the roughest and most difficult road conditions has again been forcibly illustrated uy the trip from Calgary, Alta., to Cranbrook, B. C, made July 10- 11, 1911, in an Everitt touring car, the property of R. H. Bohart of Wardner, B. C, and driven by W. II. Einert. The route traversed lends through .MacLeod, Pincher . Creek, Crow's Nest, Fernie, Elko, Wardner and Cranbrook, and comprises 323 miles of assorted road, Including mud, rock and corduroy. The consumption of gasoline was 25 gallons, or one gallon to every 18 miles; of oil, 3 1-2 gallons, while the total running time of 19 hours for the entire distance completes the record of a most remarkable run. The car in this case was an all- Canadian Everitt, made in Orlllin, Ont., by the Tudhope Motor Co., and rated at 30-horse power. The fact that no tire troubles were experienced shows the excellence of the Canadian product, with which all Tudhope cars are supplied. In speaking of this tour, Mr. S. H. Roe, manager of the Calgary agency of the Everitt, says: "This is the first car that even went over the pass on its own power. Two others got across, but had to be towed over the summit with teams. With due consideration of the fact that these cars are rated as of much greater horse-power, the showing made on this occasion is sufficient to convince any fair minded person that in the Everitt we have a car that is thoroughly reliable, with plenty of power for work in a mountainous district, one that is simple and economical of operation, both as to tire wear and consumption of gasoline and oil, and, when price is considered, the superior of any car on the market."

Will Open l*p a Rich Area According to the Minister of Public Works THEOLOGICAL COLLEGE Anglican Church Decides Upon Line of Action With Regard to Education in Theology "It wl'l not be so many years before there will be hundreds of thousands of acres under cultivation in Northern British Columbia if natural development, now well inaugurated, is permitted to continue," says Hon. Thomas Taylor, provincial minister of public works and railways, who has just returned to Victoria from an extended tour through Yale and Carl- boo. "There are vast areas well adapted for agricultural utlization in the vicinity of Fort George, as well as farther to the west around Stuart and the Fraser Lakes and In the Bulkley Valley, and settlers of the right sort are giving them their attention and coming in prepared to make their permanent homes on the land and aid in the upbuilding of Britisii Columbia." Hon. Mr. Taylor speaks from recent personal observation, not from hearsay or report. He has but just been on the ground, inspecting the progress of improvements now being carried out by his department in the Nicola and Cariboo sections. The appropriations this year for roads and bridges in Cariboo exceed $150,- 000, while the Yale district, in which is included the Nicola Valley, the amount totals approximately $85,000. /'Good Roads Taylor" since entering the government of Premier McBride has conscientiously made it a point to visit the various sections of the province once or more in each year, to see for himself how the public money is being expended and wherein further expenditures may promote more rapid and satisfactory industrial growth. Leaving this city on the tour just completed on the 9th instant the minister first proceeded to the Nicola Valley, where many important Improvements are being carried forward. He found conditions in the valley exceptionally' good. There has been quite an influx of settlers this year, and much quiet development Is going on. He found the coal mines of Merritt working to capacity, and the town exceedingly prosperous. His trip extended as far soutli as Aspen Grove, where he visited a well stocked ranch in company with one of its owners, George A. Fraser of Victoria. Mr. Taylor greatly admired many of Mr. Fraser's thoroughbred horses. On reaching Quesnel he was joined by John A. Fraser, M.L.A., for that riding. They then took steamer up the Fraser to Fort George, visiting many intermediate points to inspect Improvements. The numerous roads aud trails under construction will greatly increase the existing transportation facilities and aid settlers In bringing in stock and supplies. "I was much impressed with the improved look of Quesnel, as well as other places along the road and steamboat route since my last visit two years ago," said Mr. Taylor. "The country around Fort George as far as the eye can reach is open and well adapted for raising hay and grain and for ranching. Future of Nechaco ".Settlement thus far has been limited, owing to lack of transportation facilities, but all this will soonn be changed. 1 look to see that region, as well as the Nechaco Valley, peopled by thousands of farmers. The soil is rich, and the elevation not too high, ensuring freedom from summer frosts. This is indicated by the good crops secured by pioneer settlers. I was pleased to observe that quite a number of fruit trees are thriving and promise to yield good crops when they reach a further stage of growth. The fertility of the soil was evidenced by the remarkable growth of wild berries all along the route.

At the call of the Bishop of Columbia, as senior bishop, the bishops of the province and the representatives of the several dioceses appointed to deal with the question of the Anglican Theological College met in St. Paul s schoolroom in the city of Vancouver on Thursday, August 24. On motion of the Bishop of New Westminster, seconded by the Bishop of Caledonia, the chair was taken by the Bishop of Columbia. The Rev. C. R. Littler was elected secretary. The bishops of the several dioceses and the following clerical and lay representatives were present: Diocese of Columbia—Ven. Archdeacon Scriven, Rev. H. A. Collison, Messrs. Crotty, Wollaston and Beaumont Boggs. Diocese of New Westminster—Ven. Archdeacon Pentreath, Rev. C. C. Owen, Rev. H. F. G. Clinton, Chancellor Dunbar Taylor and Messrs. A. McCreery and J. R. Seymour. Diocese of Caledonia—Ven. Archdeacon Col'ison, Revs. Canon Keen and W. H. Vance, Messrs. Cambie, Clark and Cowan. Diocese of Kootenay—Revs. T. Greene, C. A. Procunler and C. R. Littler, Chancellor Crease and Geo. Johnstone. After full consideration and discussion of various amendments the plan of the three bishops as presented to the various synods was amended and adopted as follows: There shall be an Anglican Theological College of Britisii Columbia, with a board of governors, consisting of Ihe bishops of the several dioceses of the province, and If tt prove absolutely necessary to establish separate halls, the heads of such halls ex-officio, and also three clerical and tliree lay members representing each diocese of the province, elected in such manner as the several dioceses may determine. The board of governors shall at its annual meeting elect a chairman, who shall also be president of the Anglican Theological College. Vacancies among the elected member of this board of governors shall be filled by the respective bishops till the next meeting of the synod of the diocese. SCHOOL INSPECTORS Changes in the Department of Education Relative to the Coast District ****** ** * ****************** % FASHIONS HEAD GEAR I * * ************************** Bamboo hats have lately masqueraded as the real Panama article and have been found to surpass these both In utility and beauty. The fact is that the much lauded Panama product exists more in faction than in reality; that is, the extremely fine grade is scarcely to be had at all. The bamboo sails under the name of Panama since some time past and not one in a hundred knows the difference. . It is expected and probable that the United States agricultural bureau will do everything to pneourage the new industry of manufacturing a superior grade of bamboo hats in the Philippine Islands. A Frenchman, the first to give the matter serious attention, has established himself near Batavia, in Java, and is doing a flourishing business. He already has a demand for the goods for the export trade which far exceeds his manufacturing capacity. The raw material, the bamboo, receives considerable care. It is cut at the time it has almost reached its maturity, but still is green. It must be handled with extreme care, for the slightest blow bruises the sap, and produces an ineffaceable blotch of spot. On this account the bamboo is never hauled by rail or wagon, but cut and carried by the natives directly from the field to the factory. Here the rather hard surface is peeled off with specially shaped knives. The bamboo is then exposed for two days to the heat of the sun and for twenty-four hours to the heavy night dews. This seasons the material sufficiently to permit its being sliced or pulled in "thongs" of exact length and wonderful firmness. After the seasoning process the desired lengths are cut, then the "trunk" split into pieces ahout two inches wide. Only a lustrous close- grained portion, less than 1-16 of an inch, is kept and from this are pulled five or six ribbons of gossamer texture, light as air and yet as strong, glossy and plant as the best quality of silk. The hats are braided by native women, who are killed in giving the shape desired without any mechanical aid. The hats are always double and the finishing process of the "bell"—lining—and the brim is entrusted to little Javanese children, the girls especially having obtained such a proficiency that working by the piece they often earn more than their elders. The opening of the school term is marked by the coming into effect of new arrangements with respect to to the various inspectorates necessitated by the country's growth. In this readjustment of education department affairs, Inspector George H. Dean will hereafter have control in Victoria City, the Saanich Peninsula, and the rural schools of southern Vancouver Island as far as Otter Point. Inspector D. L. MacLaurin, formerly stationed at Nelson, has been transferred to Victoria also, and will have particular jurisdiction over the public schools of the remained of Vancouver Island and the contiguous islands of the Gulf of Georgia. Inspector Thomas Leith is given charge of the schools of Vancouver City and will be assigned an additional inspector as his assistant during the ensuing few months. Inspector J. C. Pollock, previously in charge of Kamloops, will now make his headquarters at Vancouver, and will have jurisdiction throughout all the country nortli of the Fraser River, and as far as Prince Rupert. Other inspectorates are virtually unchanged, Inspector J. D. Glllis, as before, having charge of the schools of South Vancouver and Point Grey, Burnably, Richmond and Delta districts, as well as North Vancouver City. Inspector A. E. Miller retains his district and headquarters at Revelstoke, and Inspector Albert Sullivan remains at New Westminster. An additional inspector in the person of W. H. M. May, previously engaged as principal of the public schools at Nelson, succeeds Inspector MacLaurin in charge of the South Kootenay district, with headquarters at Nelson City. J. S. Gordon, inspector of high schools, remains with headquarters in this city, his duties being unchanged. o "What's the difference," broke out the exchange editor, all at once, "between a crack in a musical instrument " "And a senator from New York going up in an elevator?" interrupted the literary editor.

Touching upon some of the other issues, Mr. Clements attacked the policy of the Dominion government. An immense sum was to be spent upon the navy without much to show for it. The Dominion had the protection fully of the British navy. He felt that Canada might well assist, especially in an hour of danger to the -Mother Country, and contribute a Dreadnought to the Imperial navy, which might be added to from time to time. Repudiated Their Policies Taking up the arguments of the Liberal party when attacking the National Policy, thai of free trade, commercial union, etc., none of these had been brought into effect upon the Liberals coming into power. He thanked God that the party did not. Sir Wilfrid Laurier had time and again s-tated that the United States • was not the natural market if the United States. He argued it was not. In this pact the United States was getting the thick end of the wedge while Canada was getting the thin edge. The United States had built up their nation by a system of protection but he believed the United States had carried that to greater lengths than it should be carried. The National Policy aimed at protecting industries while in a developing stage until they reached an adult stage, when they should be left to fol'ow their course. i National Policy The United States had refused reciprocity to Sir John A. Macdonald. The National Policy was Introduced and a tariff wall between the two countries was established. The United States then went to the extreme measure of raising the tariff wall still higher by the McKinley Bill. The Ottawa government should, in the interests of Canada, have met this with increased tariffs on this side. The United States now sought to secure the raw materials of Canada, the natural resources that were left in the United States being largely in the hands of monoplies. Under the circumstances, he felt that Canadians should do to the United States what the latter said to Canada twenty years ago, which was, "If you want to do business here come over to this country." Canada could tell the United States that if it wanted to do business in our natural resources it must send Its people and its capital into Canada and help it to build up this country. That was what was wanted in this country. It would build up industries in the cities, giving mechanics work . If Canadians let any foreign country get the raw material this country got only the product of the toil of the miner or of the lumberman, while the larger profits went to the cities of that foreign country. In the interests of Canada, they should force the United States to bring capital In here, and give Canadians the benefits from the manufacture of its raw material. , Referring to the development of the democratic sentiment in the United States, he showed that the government of the United States must, in answer to the demands of the people there, give cheaper food products and where it was deemed necessary take off the duty on Canadian products, like fish. It would be taken off without Canada goving any advantage. Wheat Question With respect to the wheat question he showed that the United Slates mills had to have the superior wheat grown in the Canadian Northwest if a barrel of flour could be produced that could compete with the Canadian flour. If he had his way he would levy an export duty upon Canadian wheat going into the United States. He would by this say to the people of the United States, "If you want to grind Canadian wheat you must come over Into Canada with your millions and build up your mills here." What Canada wanted was the building of mills and elevators on this side of the line to use the natural products of the prairies. There was no reason why Prince Rupert should not have these as well as other seaports. But if this policy of the government was carried Into effect there was little chance for anything of the kind. Fish for Export Taking up the question of fish, Mr. Clements said that it was a disgrace that the Dbmlnion government had not given the proper protection to the fisheries of this country. He then devoted his attention to the argument that the removal of the duty of one cent a pound on fish going into theh United States would work great benefit to Prince Rupert. As to the salmon market, he said any canneryman would tell one that the British market was the best one for that commodity. With respect to halibut, he said that he had discussed the question with practical men. They had told him that to take halibut in ice from, say Ketchikan to Seattle or Vancouver, would cost about $7 a Ion. There would be a double ieing also in order to ship it east. To bring it to Prince Rupert would not cost more than $2 a (on and one Icing would probably be saved. This left ii margin that made it absolutely sure (hat the trade would come lo Prince Rupert, a saving being effected even If the one cent a pound duly were paid. But the United States, he felt, would remove the duly themselves if the fish was needed. Besides, the home market of Canada was developing quickly, amounting last year to $16,- 000,000. Abuses of Government The United Slates was not a very large market, taking all into account. Tlie New England Fish Company had rights in this country from the Do. minion government that it should not have. In the matter of licences, also, there were abuses that should not exist. Japanese were granted licences that should never be given. Tlie industry should be preserved for the people of this country. With respect to the cold storage plants being erected on the coast, he said that these were all started before reciprocity was thought of. Under the present regulations there was a charge of $1.50 a ton on American bottoms doing business in fish in Canadian ports. This gave the Canadian bottom an advantage of about $125 a vessel. Under the new pact this was annulled and an American ship paid only $1 for entering. Then a United States ship could leave a Canadian port for the fishing grounds on paying a $1 fee. A Canadian ship would have to go from an American port to a Canadian port before clearing for the fishing grounds. Ottawa Not Informed He contrasted the course taken by the Canadian government and that taken by the United States government in preparing for the treaty. The United States government had experts gathering, information on the subject in Canada and the United States. The Canadian government had done nothing of the kind, and were not prepared to meet the experts of the United States. Taking up the government's policy with respect to appointments to the judiciary he said that this was something that should be very carefully guarded. That had been the pride of the government of Sir John A. Macdonald, but there had been appointments made by the present government that were not calculated to reflect credit upon the country. On the labor question he did not believe that Asiatics should be brought into the country. In this connection he referred to the treaty making propensities of the present government and the way it worked out. The government had signally failed in this. He told of the explanation given by Sir Wilfrid in the House as to the working of the Japanese treaty when it was entered into. Sir Wilfrid said It would mean that only 120 Japanese would come into the country a year after it came into effect. Yet in the first nine months after it came into effect over 8,000 Japanese were landed at Victoria and Vancouver. Labor Questions The provincial government in British Columbia had looked well to the interests of the mechanics and labor men in all contracts, Insisting upon an eight-hour day. The Dominion government, however, allowed an hour and an hour and a half to be added to this. They had the example of the alien labor la-vs of *'ep country being overridden and labo, Introduced that should not. have been. In the Crows Nest Pass coal fields the miners had put up a fight for what they considered their rights. The Dominion government had not shown any disposition to help, but had blocked off a square of country and said coal should be allowed to come in there free of duty from the United States in order to bring the miners to terms. During his travels through the district of Comox-Atlin he had been led to the conclusion that the Ottawa government acted in a disgraceful way In the matter of mail service. He had found on Denman Island that settlers did not get their mall for as long as six weeks at a time. This should not be. The pioneers of the country were entitled to fair consideration if any one was. The ogv- ernment should take steps to make the lot of the pioneer as good as possible by giving adequate mall service, so that the outlying parts could get the news and keep In touch with the world. This government was a government, not for the people of this coun try, but for the grafter. He referred to the Dominion government telegraph service, which ought to be for the benefit of the public. That service, however, was not run like the private companies did their business. The private companies gave a letter rate at night which served the pubic well. The government, however, did nothing of the sort. It might well be done, he thought, even if It were done at a loss. If elected, he would be the servant of the people and would do his best for the whole district. He would look carefully after the interests of Prince Rupert and would be a frequent visitor here in order to keep In touch with the needs of the residents. He had no doubt as to his success. Mr. Clements resumed his seat amidst loud applause. P. It. Young D. R. tfoung of Queen Charlotte City followed. He referred to the fact that he bad been born in the United tSates. When, fourteen years ago, he took the oath of allegiance to the sovereign of Great Britain and unfurled the British flag over his office in Siocan it was the proudest moment of his life. The United States wanted the raw material from here, lie believed that Canada should live on the most friendly terms with the United States. There was a market for the products of Canada in Great Britain. The meeting closed with cheers for Mr. Clements and the singing of "God Save the King." o BLACK COD IN USE D. R. Young of Queen Charlotte City Has Succeeded in Curing Fish for Use. He Is Now Putting the Product on the Market and Will Be Prepared to Meet Demand D. R. Young of Queen Charlotte City has been a visitor in the city for several days this week. He left this morning for Vancouver with a shipment of several tons of black cod put up in/different styles for use. The visit of Mr. Young at this time has to do with the marketing of the first of the black cod put up by the plant in which Mr. Young is so deeply interested. The promoter of this enterprise is nothing If not original and bo when he had had the curing of the fish brought to a stage where he w*as satisfied to put it on the market he put a shipment on the way and subjected it to the most trying conditions under which it could ever be expected to have to pass. He had the barrels and cases delayed here in the G. T. P. warehouses in order to see how the product would come through such a test. He then opened part of it and his friends and the guests at the Prince Rupert Inn have been enjoying the black cod put up by his company. The tests have been entirely satisfactory and Mr. Young has undoubtedly provided for the consuming public a most delightful fish product and one that will continue to grow in favor. He has taken the shipment on to Vancouver, where it will be put In the hands of P. Burns & Co., who will look after the marketing of It in the Coast cities. It is Mr. Young's intention to keep a plentiful supply in the hands of P. Burns & Co. all the time. The black cod is a new fish to commerce. It is taken in the deep water off the coast of the Queen Charlottes and will he made a special feature of the cold storage and curing plant at Queen Charlotte City. The fish are taken In the open sen at a depth of about 1,000 of 1,800 feet. Under the processes which Mr. Young's company has perfected it will be put on the market smoked or salted and forms a delicious food.
