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 (Continued on Last Page.)

The outlook at the group of claims that are working there is the most promising, it is inferred from what they say. The fact that they simply refused to entertain what would be considered excellent offers for what is only in the prospect, stage yet is indicative of what they think of the properties. The claims are the Cascade Group, only about a mile from the railway, near Chicken Lake. A short aerial tramline will carry the ore to the G. T. P.

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. M. J. McNEIL, President. SIMON D. MACDONALD, Secretary. 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. CLEARING WAY FOR TERMINAL FACILITIES The G. T. P. Contractors Have Made Vigorous Start in the Matter of Removing Earth and Rock on the Waterfront to Provide for Drydock, Station and Yards-Immense Amount of Material to he Removed. WILL EQUIP CITY HALL P. It. Susli and Door Factory Will Provide Counters and Other Fur. 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.

His letter was as follows: To the Mayor and Council, City of Prince Rupert. Gentlemen—Re Acropo'is reservoir and Section One grading.

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.

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. M. M. STEPHENS & CO., LTD.

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 Budweiser Appeals to people of discriminating taste because of its superb Quality and Purity—no matter if you drink it in Canada or in its St. Louis home town— it always has the same snappy flavor—its in a class by itself.

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. H.
