public meeting in the Empress The- j
atre. 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-

Among the arrivals hy the Prince

the department of marine. He has
come, he explained, for the purpose
of securing men and starting work
at once upon the new lighthouse that
it has been decided to place at the
northernmost point on Graham Island
as a guide to the ocean shipping that
will come to this port from seaward.
The station, he explained, would
be a first class one, equipped with a

Mr. Killeen was in a great hjirry to

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

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.

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

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.'

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

custom of selling unsurveyed lands,

in a tremendous amount of litigation,

Prince Ruperl Branch—
F. S. LONG, Mauacr.
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."

| 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.

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

to shirk any work. 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.

Invites Teeumsehs
President Con Jones of the Vancouver Lacrosse Club has wired Man-
lager Charlie Querrie of the Teeumsehs of Toronto, leaders in the Na
tional Lacrosse Union, an offer of
$4,000 for two games in Vancouver
on September 16 and 23. An eastern despatch asserts that the Teeumsehs were offered that amount for
one game, but President Jones declared that this was not correct. The
offer was contingent on Vancouver
winning from New Westminster on
Monday. Querrie, however, has announced that if the Teeumsehs win
the N. L. U. championship they will
come after the cup, so the chances
are bright for the Indians appearing on the Coast this fall.

I Moroccan Trouble f
* *
* *• * * * * ** * * * * * * * * *' * * * * * * * * * *
Again, after four centuries, tbe
affairs of Spain are centring in the
lands of the Moors, across the Strait
of Gibraltar. 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-

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.

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."

Hon. Thomas Taylor Expresses His Views
With Respect to the Great
Interior.
G. T. P. 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.
"I visited Fort George and South
Fort George, midway between which
on the Hudson Bay reserve my department recently completed a temporary government office. The final
location of the office will depend on
future development. The opening of
the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway will
' greatly stimulate the establishment
of an important business ce'ntre In
that vicinity."
_ o
"The clinging type of girls is disappearing."
"Yes; modern woman, with her
numerous hatpins, is more like a cactus than a vine."
o— ■
"There goes Spriggins. They say
that man has been given up by half
3. dozen doctors."
"What's the trouble with him?"
"He won't pay his bills."
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
****** ** * ******************

**************************
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.

"And a senator from New York

in a lift. You oughtn't to try as
easy a one as that on me."
Nothing more w*as said, hut they

FINE RECEPTION
(Continued From Page One)
lieved in reciprocity within the British nation.
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.
FORCE AT GOOSE BAY

Mr. Williams is still investigating

Good, Sound Reasons for
MONARCH Economy
Monarch Ranges are built so that they can
never have "air leaks"—
For around every opening Into the body there
is a Malleable Iron frame to which the
steel is riveted.
No putty is needed in such joints. They are
air tight when new and stay air tight.
If these other ranges were built In this way
they might be economical too.
Investigate this matter of rivet construction
versus stove bolts and stove putty. It'»
important to every one using or buying
a range.
