DR. THOMPSON MEETS
CANADIAN CLUB
First Luncheon for the Season Given to Member
for the Yukon in Central Hotel Yesterday
---The Guest of the Organization Tells
of the Resources of the North
and Shows that the Trade
Should Naturally
Come Here.
The Canadian Club opened its season yesterday by tendering to Dr.
Alfred Thompson, M. P.,'the member
for the Yukon in the House of Commons, a luncheon in the Central Hotel. There was a splendid attendance
Of representative citizens that sat
down with the guest of the day at
the tables. The meal served was
of the first order and the whole
event was a most pleasant one. Dr.
Thompson dealt with the subject of
the Yukon, at the same time showing that this city had a great deal
to expect from that territory in the
way of trade. The Alaskan and the
Yukon trade, In fact, he showed,
was destined to become closely
bound up In the city and it would
be the fajilt of the business men
of Prince Rupert if that trade was
not secured for the city. The
speech was of a high order and one
perfectly in keeping with the noble
ideals of the Canadian Club.
Judge Young, the president of the
club, occupied the chair, while on
either side of him sat the guest of
the day and Bishop Du Vernet.
In opening the speech making
Judge Young said there had been a
rather long lapse of time since the
last luncheon. It had for a variety
of reasons been "an off season."
The club looked forward, however,
this year to a good season, with frequent gatherings.
Proceeding then to deal with the
Alaskan and the Yukon country, he
referred to the immense trade that
was to come from there, and this
should come to Prince Rupert.
The Canadian Club members were
pleased, he said, to have Dr. Alfred
Thompson present as a guest of the
club. He was one of the most
highly respected residents of the Yukon.
The welcome was extended first
on personal grounds! They welcomed
him also because he was a true Canadian in all his sentiments. He hoped
that he would always find In the
doctor a zealous friend of Prince
Rupert in its fight for the trade of
the Yukon. This was not intended
to be a selfish welcome, however.
Guest Speaks
Dr. Thompson was greeted with
applause. He thanked the club for
the honor done him. He had decided to speak on the Yukon and
Canada's far north. The Canadian
Clubs in Canada were doing a great
work in fostering a national sentiment. When Confederation took
place there was no national feeling.
For various reasons there were local
feelings that tended to draw away
from this movement. The Boer War,
however, came in to serve to foster
a national feeling. When Canadian
sons went and died on the field in
South Africa it had the effect of
building up a national sentiment.
In Canada there was the nucleus
of a great nation. They must live
up to the possibilities.
The year 1867 was marked by two
great events, the Federation of Canada, and the purchase of Alaska by
the United States. There was
$7,500,000 paid for Alaska. One
Alaskan mine, the Treadgold, had
produced alone $21,000,000 gold. He
would gladly pay the price for ihe
strip along the coast.
The  speaker  then  went   into  the

BODY GOES SOUTH
Remains of   the  Late  Matthew  Dow
Taken to Seattle for Interment There.
Masons of the City at Funeral—St,
Andrews Society Expresses
Sympathy
Early this morning the City of
Seattle took the body of the late
Matthew Dow south to his home city,
Seattle, where the remains will be
Interred. Mrs. Dow and the members of the family went south with
the body and will not return to this
city. During the short time that
Mr. Dow had lived here he had made
a host of friends and citizens generally had come to recognize him by
his kindly manner.
He was a member of the Masonic
order and a Mystic Shriner in that
order. There was a large turnout
of Masons this morning to accompany the body to the steamer. He
was also a member of various Scottish societies and at a meeting of
the St. Andrews Society last evening
a resolution of condolence was passed and a copy of it presented to the
widow this morning by the president, M. J. McNeill. The resolution
was as follows:
St. Andrews Society, Prince Rupert.
At a meeting of St. Andrews Society of Prince Rupert, B. C, on
the evening of the twentieth day of
May, Nineteen Hundred,and Twelve,
the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, God in the exercise of
his infinite wisdom has terminated
the earthly existence of our dearly
beloved brother  Matthew Dow; and,
Whereas, the blow has fallen
heavily upon his loving family on
the very eve of their arrival in a
strange country, separated as they
are from relatives and old friends—
now, therefore, be it
Resolved that the members of this
society individually and collectively
deeply feel the loss of our brother
and desire to express our most heartfelt sympathy for his grief stricken
family.
Resolved, that the world has lost
a man of great creative ability and
that his active and honorable business record is one of which his
sorrowing family may justly feel
proud; that the knowledge of his
having done much to advance humanity during his intellectual career may in a manner tender t lie
grief of his beloved wife and children and that they may continue
their lives in the firm belief In his
waiting them on a brighter shore.
Resolved, that our secretary furnish the stricken family and each of
the newspapers with a copy of these
resolutions.

TIGHTENING   AGAIN
Bank Does Not Want the Council to Go
Recklessly-Must
Retrench.
Council  Hears  Report   From  Treasurer as  to Manager's  Attitude
On Question of Advances
The city clerk, Monday night, in
his capacity as treasurer, wrote advising further retrenchment owing
to the announcement of the manager
of the Bank of Montreal that no
further funds would be available except for work already provided for
and  under way.
Alderman Kerr wanted to know
if this would interfere with the work
on the grading of the lane between
Second and Third avenues.
The mayor said it would unless
the funds were taken from Section
One local improvements.
A report from the city engineer
that the work could be completed
at a cost of $1,286.50 and recommending that it be done was presented.
The mayor said that he had not
been able to meet Mr. Clancy, who
was out of the city. He thought
there was no reason why the work
should not go on, the funds being
derivable from Section One local improvement, at least temporarily.
Alderman Morrissey wanted information as to the electric light
expenditures. He wanted to know
if $40,000 had been spent for a pole
line and that $27,000 of it had been
taken from the general fund. If
there was a way of placing this
under the hydro-electric it should
be done so as to relieve the general
fund.
The city clerk said that Alderman
Morrissey was a little premature.
When the hydro-electric came into
the city if the pole lines upon which
$40,000 was to be spent was used
then it could be charged up to the
hydro-electric. There was under the
hydro-electric scheme no provision
for a line in the city. It covered
only the carrying of the line to supply the city.
The matter has been referred lo
the public works committee.

nisliiii"   for   New   City   Hall
The policy of the G. T. P. with
respect to the terminals at this port
appears to be on a vast scale judging from the survey stakes that are
placed in the different sections
where excavations are to be made.
It would appear from these stakes
that there is to be much more done
in the way of excavations than was
at first expected. It seems that all
that has been covered by the surveyors is not assured of being done
but there are strong Teasons for
believing that there will be a vast
amount more than the contract
actually calls for that is to be done.
The contractors for the company
are already at work although all the
material has not yet arrived for Mr.
Rich, who is in active charge. A
small force is at work close to the
company's present roundhouse or repair shop. About twenty men are
doing the preliminary work that is
necessary before the steam shovel is
put to use.    This is going east from
the repair shops. It would appear
as if there Is to be a very considerable amount of material to be removed in that direction in order to
allow of the proper approach of incoming trains.
Another very considerable gang is
at work in the vicinity of the place
where the drydock is to be built.
The removal of the rock and earth
to the proper level there is work
that does not belong to the drydock
firm but to those who are to level
off the waterfront in compliance
with the general plans that have
been prepared. Mr. Rich has a force
already at the work and there is
good progress being made.
The prospects are that the middle
of summer will see a very substantial army of workers engaged in the
city. The season is to be a very
busy one, it is thought by the indications. There is a vast amount
to be accomplished and in order to
be ready for the coming of the
through service there is no time to
be lost.

THE LEAKING SEWER
The leaking of the sewer on Second Avenue, with the pouring of its
contents into »t.he natural runway
that circles across to Third Avenue,
McBride Street, and then back onto
Third Avenue east of McBride, is
certainly a menace to the health of
the district. Some action should be
taken quickly if an epidemic is to
to be avoided. There are difficulties, it is true, in this connection,
bul some way should be found out
of it.
We have one suggestion to offer
which may not be acceptable to the
authorities but which we believe
might offer al least a temporary relief. The runway that has been referred io and which Is at present
carrying sewage open to the air and
polluting the air for blocks will
sooner or later have to be converted
into a closed way for the carrying
Of surface waters. It would be a
comparatively inexpensive matter to
have a good pipe line put in from
Second Avenue to the point where
this run joins the culverl on Third
Avenue In fronl of the Pioneer
Laundry, If this were done it might
be found to be perfectly safe to allow
the sewage to inn through it. This,
of course, would be a temporary
arrangement as far as the carrying
of sewage is concerned, li .is nol
to be advised that sewers should
empty into sewers bul with a close
drain which lies along the surface,
practically, there might be no danger for some time, until the sewer
proposition could lie attended to and
a policy relative to it decided upon.
The cosl of the drain would, we believe, be comparatively little as compared with the repairing of the sewer. The point where the drain would
empty after following the covered
way on Third Avenue is into salt
water at Cameron Bay, so that there
would be no evil effects there.
If special care were taken In tlie
making of tight joints in the drain
Ihere is not likely, we believe, to
be much danger from the allowing
of   the   limited   amount   of   sewage
lie
in pier. As ii is at present the employ-
jing of a house surgeon has not been
felt to be the best policy to pursue,
The directors are concerned In making the Institution come as near paying its way as possible without maintaining it as a money producing institution, li is felt by the board
thai Ihe hospital is a public institution, buill to serve the best Interests of the public and therefore]
should he made lo balance about
evenly in the matter of revenue audi
expenditure.
The medical association lias step-1
pert Into the breach in the early j
stages and in turn Its member for a
month at a time act as house surgeon, thus relieving ilie board of
carrying one in thai capacity in the
early and trying period of its existence.
Under tlie contract system also
the board would be taking considerable risk making the proposition
one of a speculative character, which
it is doubtful of the public would
endorse. If the proposition turned
out with a gain to the hospital there
would probably be no objection on
the part of the general public. If
on the other hand it turned out the
other way and there are instances
on record in the matter which were
considered where this has occurred
then there would be complaints for
the speculating on the part of tlie
board with the money granted for
ilie carrying on of the institution.
Under all the circumstances, for the
present, at least, it is, we believe,
wisdom on the part of the board to
pursue the system at present followed.
We feel satisfied that the movers
al the council in this matter had
nothing but the best intentions in
making the move that was made but
if all the conditions in connection"
with this subject were placed before
them as they were when the hospital
board went into the subject (heir
opinion on the subject might be
radically  changed.

FANNING ISLAND
Company with Large Capital is About
to Develop the Resources of
that Area.
Cable Station  Island  Is  Valuable as
a Producer of Cocoanuts and Will
Be Cultivated by Organization
"Fanning Island, Limited," with
a capital of two hundred thousand
pounds, or approximately a million
dollars, is being advertised extensively in the London newspaper,
according lo Hawaiian exchanges.
The corporation has already been
formed, and its directorate includes
members of the nobility,
The objects of the corporation are
to develop the "cocoaiuit and phosphate islands in the Pacific Ocean
known as Fanning Island and Washington island."
The following are some of the
statements in  the prospectus:
"Fanning Island has an area of
8,000 acres, of which 5,000 acres
are excellent for cocoanuts, and of
the balance the portion consisting
of salt marsh can be reclaimed at
at a moderate expenditure. The
soil is mostly coral sand. About
500 acres have been planted with
cocoanuts (50 trees per acre), of
which 300 acres are bearing. On
2,500 acres cocoanut palms are
growing freely, the trees numbering
as many as 500 to the acre in some
places.
"Washington Island has an area
of 2,800 acres, of which 200 acres
ai)e occupied by planted cocoanut
trees In bearing, and 1,700 aires
are covered with dense cocoanut
bush. The soil is richer in vegetable
matter than that of Fanning Island.
There is a clear, fresh water lake,
600 acres in area, and 200 acres
of peat bog five feet in depth. Phosphate deposits exist on both Islands,
covering a total area ol about 1,000
acres.
"The islands are freehold, and
are held under titles from the British Crown; There are no taxes, duties or charges of any description.
Both islands are under the jurisdiction of the high commission Tor Ihe
Western Pacific resident al Suva,
Fiji.
"Being situated al the cross roads
ol' the Pacific Ocean, Fannin;',' Island
is destined lo become a port of great
commercial and strategical Importance, more particularly when Hie
Panama Canal is opened lo traffic
in 1913. Ii supplies Ihe closing
link in- Hie chain of an All-British
route from Geat Britain to New
Zealand and Australia via Canada.
In English Harbor the company will
possess a most valuable asset, as
this is the only British harbor within a radius of aboul 1,900 miles
suitable for the supply of coal,, oil,
and water, and the carrying out of
repairs. Tlie harbor is a natural
one, and it its existing state can be
utilized in all weathers by vessels
up to twenty-five feet draught.
There is also a safe anchorage in
smooth water for larger ships. At
a moderate expenditure, Ihe harbor
itself can be extended so as to accommodate and provide additional
facilities for a fleet of the largest
vessels afloat. Should It be found
desirable to undertake this extension,
further capital will lie issued for
the purpose.
"An ample supply of cheap native
labor for tiie company's requirements is procurable. Including
wages, food, and cost of recruiting,
the outlay should be about twenty-
five pounds per head per annum.
"Tho Crown have reserved a plot
of ihirty-siv acres on Hie northwest
side of Fanning Island, on which
l.as been erei led a i ransmlttlne stn-
tion of Hie Pacific Cable Hoards
line from Canada I" New Zealand
and Australia. The Cable Boi i I
maintain on the Island a permanent
staff of over  twenty  Europeans.
"Fanning Island is iu Immediate
touch wiili the telegraphic .-..stilus
of Hie world. Through chartered
ships there are direct, means of communication by water with all ocean
ports at tlie usual freight rates,
which could be considerably reduced
by arranging return cargoes. There
is at present no regular mail service,
the contract having recently expired,
but It Is the intention of the directors to acquire and operate a small
cargo and passenger vessel for the
purpose of establishing regular communications between the islands and
Honolulu, where mall steamers from
San Francisco call twice weekly. A
suitable boat now in Honolulu has
been offered to the company at a
low price. Since 1900 the quality
of copra produced and sold from the
estates has averaged 318 tons per
annum. This copra is sun-dried and
is of the finest quality, realizing top
prices in the San Francisco market.
At current prices 318 tons realizes
7,980 pounds, the net profit exceeding 18 pounds per ton.
"The directors are advised that
at present a sufficient number of
nuts ripen yearly to yield 500 tons
of copra, and by complete cultivation of the islands, an annual output
of 3,000 tons can be reached In the
ninth year by progressive stages.
"The phosphatic beds on Fanning
and Washington Islands are attributable to chemical action of guano
on Hie soil and underlying coral.
The latter species, or rock phosphates; form over two-thirds of the
tolal deposits. Phosphates are widely used for fertilizing purposes, and
find a ready sale, particularly in
countries where intensive cultivation is necessary. Markets which
are easily accessible, such as the Hawaiian Island, New Zealand, Australia and Japan, absorb great quantities of phosphatic fertilizers."
 o	
Tlie young man produced a small
square box from his pocket.
"I have a present for you," ho
began. "I don't know whether it
will fit your finger or not, but "
"Oh, George!" she broke in, "this
is so sudden! Why, I never dreamed "
But just then George produced
the gift—a silver thimble—and it
got suddently cooler in the room.

DR. THOMPSON MEETS
CANADIAN CLUB
(Continued  From  Page One)
Alaskan boundary question on the
Pacific Coast, tracing the history of
It. There was a strip of Alaskan
coast from north of Prince to the
Yukon that it would be a great thing
for Canada to have. It would be a
great thing for Prince Rupert tc
have this. He did not know whethei
the United States would part with
It. He would, next session, however,
Introduce a resolution In the House
looking to the attempting of this.
Would this meet with the favor of
Prince Rupert? Loud applause
greeted this from the gathering,
showing that it would be popular
In the city.
He did not know that the United
States would put a money value on
that territory, because the United
States was a rich country. He would,
falling that, endeavor to see if a
barter could not be made for some
of the British territory in the West
Indies. If nothing In this line could
be done he was going to get a Canadian port on Lynn Canal. (Ap-.
plause.)
The    Ynkoners
Dr. Thompson then referred to the
discovery of gold In the Yukon and
the rush for that territory. There
was a vast army of men poured over
the mountains into the territory.
"Let me tell you, a better army
never crossed a mountain," added
Dr. Thompson. In graphic language
he told of the rush since that year.
Over $200,000,000 of gold had
poured out of that country. Last
year $4,000,000 passed down past
Prince Rupert.    This year  $5,000,-
000 would flow out. It was Prince
Rupert's if she wanted it.
It was no small task to maintain
law and order there, but It was
maintained, and he wished to compliment the Royal Northwest Mounted Police in this connection. (Applause.)
There were rivers tributary to the
Yukon River that were navigable
for 400 miles. The Yukon had great
resources and wealth. All that
wealth had to come down past
Prince Rupert.
There was every reason to hope
that there were still other gold regions to be discovered in that country. This was only to be expected.
The climate of that country was delightful.
Would Make City
After dealing with the resources
of the territory in various lines, he
said that the territory was poorled
by a most vi:-ile race. There was
no people that would consume more
per head than would the Yukon. Hie
Klondike had made Seattle a flourishing city. Everything that was |
found in the Yukon in those days
was from the United States. Ninety-'
five per cent of the products now j
found in the Yukon were Canadian.
Prince Rupert would be five days
nearer the Yukon than Vancouver
to Seattle. Transportation facilities were needed.j There was a charter for a railway from Lynn Canal
to Dawson and the other mining
camps. He was trying to get a subsidy from the Canadian government.
The government was sending in a
party to make investigations.
Tlie bonding privileges which existed would mean that there would
be an immense trade with Alaska.
He had a profound and an abiding
faitli in Prince Rupert. It was
bound to come because they had Canada behind them. There were vast
resources here. The fisheries in
themselves were great enough to
maintain here a rich city. Bryce
had said that tho great home of the
continent was between the Alle-
ghanies and the Pacific. This was
;■ greal trade Unit could be catered
to in the matter of supplying fish.
The feffect of tlie Panama Canal
could  not   now  be  told   with  a  cer-
ii .nnii! ;i     mil 10
ibis  port,  however,  in  the shipping
of wheat.
There would probably )»• a na' a t
base in the north and whal more
natural place than at Prince Rupi rl
1 lc hoped that peaqe would ever
reign over Canada and ihe United
States, in launching upon a naval
policy Canada was aboul lo do her
shnre In the maintenance of British
supremacy, British Columbia would
have Its part in this, and from what
he knew of this country It would do
its  part  well.
The speei li closed amid applause
for the speaker.
Bishop Du Vernet in proposing a
vote of thanks referred to Ihe fact
that the Yukon had chosen as Its
representative no misfit. He was
a strong, virile man.
A. .1. Morris seconded the vote of
thanks.
After the tendering of the vote
Dr. Thompson  said  that  he  was a
Anheuser-Busch's

its superb Quality and Purity—no matter if you
drink it in Canada or in its St. Louis home town—

Italian   Officers   Succeed   in   Epcri-
ments in Wireless Phones
A despatch to the Times from
Rome says that for about a year the
Italian naval and military authorities have been carrying ori experiments in wireless telephony. A
month ago a message was sent from
the wireless station on Monte .Mari
to the Island of Ponza, a distance
of about sixty-five miles. Further
experiments produced an improved
method of transmission, and last
week communication was established between Monte Mari and the
wireless station at Beeco di Val on
Magdalena Island, a distance of
about 160 miles. i
A long extract from a newspaper i
was read at Rome and heard repeated at Magdalena. The voices
were distinct—so much so that a
listener detected immediately the
substitution of a different speaker
half way through the message. Further developments may be expected
soon.
