Price MAYOR'S PROPOSALS Pressing Hatters He Calls to the Attention of the Various Committees of Council His Worship (Jives Aldermen Somi Suggestions for Early Consideiutlon Inimeditely after the various com- miliees had been named last evening by Mayor Manson, proceeded lo outline some of the more pressing matters thai he (ell should receive early attention al the bunds of the different committees and wihloh be suggested they could lake up at their earliest convenience, The suggestions offered were contained in the following memorandum, which was read and copies given to each alderman — Prince Rupert, II. C, January 16th, 1911. To the Municipal Council of the City of Prince Rupert, 13. C. GENTLEMEN— Porniil me, ai the beginning of the year's work, to lay before you a few suggestions with respect to matters which require to be taken up by tbe various committees with as little delay ns possible. Finance Committee Tbe finance committee is requested to investigate the expenditures now being made under the several local improvement bylaws, and see that the amounts do not exceed the authority given by the said bylaws. A report should be made to the council on this subject. Also, this committee should report to Ihe council as to tbe indebtedness of the city to the banks, and how the city stands with regard to the sale of debentures; wthich debentures have been sold, and which have been pledged to the banks. It will be necessary for the chairman of the finance committee to submit to the council immeditely the annual loan bylaw, In anticipation of the current year's revenue, in order that the council may be able to bororw money from the bank to suoh extent as may be required from time to time for current expenditure prior 'to the time when the taxes are due and payable to the city. A resolution should also be passed by the council instructing the assessor to make the assessment and fix the time when the work shall be completed and the roll returned to the city clerk. The finance committee should require the other committees to submit, as early as possible, their estimates from the school trustees and the police commissioners, In order that complete estimates of receipts and expenditures may be laid before tbe council. It is important that tbe health committee make provision a3 early as possible for the disposal of garbage. This will probaly have to be done by means of the use of a scow, which, when loaded, will have to be removed r.nd dumped outside the harbor. I wou'd urge that cteps be taken in this connection so that provision may he made before the spring Is too far advanced, and we are exposed to tho dangers that would follow when warmer weather is at band. Street, Works null Property Committee Owing lo the large amount of work now In progress In tbe grading of tho slrsets Ir. Section 1, it will not likely be found desirable to proceed with any other work to amy great extent for a time, but to push to completion what Is r.ow under way. I would, therefore, request that this committee look carefully into all work new going ou and see to it that the same is carried out in accordance with the specifications, con-tracts and arrangements made by last year's council. Consideration will have to be given by this committee to the policy to be pursued in connection with retaining walls for property below the street grad63. It is likely that as soon as the present, grading of streets in section I is completed, that a demand will be made for crushed rock to be placed on some of the streets instead of putting the planks hack again as has been arranged, in which case the planking could be used in oher parts of the city that may require attention. With this In view- it may be found wise to arrange for the purchase of a rock crusher, \vhioh may take considerable time to secure and oomsequemtly ought to be planned for ahead. This committee should also at an early dale given.consideration to the organization of a public works de- lartment, with tools and equipment for carrying on all public works under the ioni;nl of the council, whether tor streets, waterworks, jewers or other undertakings. I would als'i nsli this committee to give consideration lo the details of tihe proposed sower system, and to report to the council, In order thai Hie engineer's department may be properly Instructed in connection wiib the prepiiitiiin of plans nml specifications for the work. Fire and Water Committee I would recommend that the fire and water committee lake up the question of the plans of the proposed water system from Woodwork!] Lake which has already been dealt with to some extent by the engineer's department.fl A preliminary report should be made to the council as to how soon it may be possible to have sui'lii-ii-nt data In shape to enable the council to submit a bylaw to the people authorizing the borrowing of money to carry out the work. This committee should also examine nlio existing conditions in connection with the present fire department, and see if any improvements can be made to more fully safeguard the citizens against fire. [light nml Telephone Committee I would ask the light and telephone committee lo report to the council the condition of the electric light plant, giving the expenditure to date and probable amount yet required to complete the same, and advise the council the condition of tlhe electric light plant, giving the expenditure lo date and probable amount yet required to complete the same, and advise the council how soon it may be possible to supply light. Also, the question of the receipts and expenditures of the telephone system should be examined Into, with a view to seeing if any modification of rates can be effected. I would urge upon all committees (Continued on Page Eight) COMMITTEES NAMED Members of Council Divided Into Three Groups for Detail Work. Convenient .Method Adopted for the Transaction of the Business by New .Mayor At the meeting of the city council last evening Mayor Manson imadfe the selection of tbe various committees that will be charged with the work this year. The bylaw provides for five standing committees which are named In it. His Worship took occasion to so group the work that while there are the five standing committees there are really three bodies of men who will have to deal with the business. The personnel of the finance and assessment committee is exactly the same as that of the health, relief, license and police committee, Then, again, tho members of the fire and water committee nre the same as are to serve on the light and telephone committee The streets, works and property committee is charged with that work alone and all will agree il has enough to look after. The committees struck by the mayor at last evening's meeting were as follows— Finance nd assessment— Aid. Kirkpatrick, Aid. Newton and Mayor Manson. Health, relief, license and police— Aid. Kirkpatrick, Aid. Newton, and Mayor Alanson. Streets, works and property—Aid. Hilditch, Aid. Pattullo and Aid. Morrissey. Fire and water—Aid. Smith, Aid. Clayton and Aid. Kerr. Light and telephone—Aid. Smith, Aid. Clayton and Aid. Kerr. o W. Coyney has returned to the city fter a few weeks' absence in Masset and Vancouver. Clyde Rogers has returned from a rip to Vancouver and other points !!'.'! ■ Ill-till, STRICT ENFORCEMENT ci 111 UN'S" ANNIVERSARY BANQUE1 New Police Commission Meet and Make Position Plain —Chief McCarvell Jays He Can Put Stop to Gambling. The new police commissioners mel this imoralng in the olty hull and Miule their position plain with re- specmil to ih-- enforcement of the law. Chief McCarvell was Instructed to, proceed at once to have the laws lived up to strictly. The chief acquiesced in the request and stated lie wns ready lo do it and could have Ihe laws observed. II might take, a little time lo free Ihe city of undesirables but lie could do it. His Worship explained that the meeting was called lo organize the new police board. By virtue of his office he was chairman and the city clerk by virtue of bis office was sen- rotary to tin- board. He thought it would be wiise for the board to bold regular open meetings. He suggested that about the first of Ihe month these meetings should be held. He thought they should go on record as being behind the chief of police in the Matter of the enforcement of the law. It appeared from what had come to light that there were gamblers and tin horns in the city. The commissioners wanted to impress upon lite chief that they exported the city freed of this element. They were of no benefit to the city. The board wnnted to see these men cleaned out of town. They were going to look to the chief to do il. The chief said that he could guarantee to have those people who were living in violation of the law driven out in a reasonable length of time. His Worship said it was reported itlhere were blind pig keepers and crib keepers in the city. These should be given to understand they could not stay in the titty. With respect to the licensed places he wanted the cheif to see that the regulations under which they operated were lived up to. The responsibility cf acquainting tUiemsleves with tho law was up to iii- li ■ i;:-o holders and they should ascertain the regulations, The i liii-f suiil in- iiad Instructed i' i-ry license holder as to tlie regulations. Mis. Worship asked the chief as :o whether the bars were ohsan Ing the law with respect to not obstructing the»yiew from the street. The chief said he found the Premier par complied with the law iind the Inn had been instructed to have Its windows made to conform to the Jaw. His Worship said that, witli reaped lo the enforcemenl of law the board wanted to bo acquainted with the fact as lo whether the members of liis force were suitable. If they were not, the board would, on the recommendation of the ohief make such changes as were necessary to make it efficient. Commissioner Stephens asked what he would consider a reasonable time to carry out the work suggested. Tiie chief said it was difficult to set an exact time. To do tbe work lie would require to have funds placed at his disposal and employ the men he thought best for doing the work. With respect to gambling after the publicity given to it those engaged in it. would be very careful. He would net like to be bound down to any definite period. Commissioner Kirkpatrick asked if the monetary arrangements of last year would be satisfactory to the chief in providing for special plain clothes men ot do the work. After some discussion the chief offered some suggestions and a satisfactory arrangement wilLJie made. His Worship said the wish of the commissioners was to give the chief a free hand in enforcing the law. The commissioners then adjourn- COMMISSIONERS ARE APPOINTED Last evening Mayor Manson was advised from Victoria that at a meeting of the provincial executive the appointments of police and license commissioners for this city bad been dealt with and the selections made for the year. The police commissioners appointed are Aid. J. A. Kirkptrick and M. M. Stephens. For license commissioner, Aid. V. W. Smith and J. E. Merryfield nave been selected. Under the act, the mayor of the city sits as the chairman of each of these boards, making tlie I bird member of the coin mission. Tho choice of the members of the different commissioners will, it. is safe to say give eminent satisfaction. The license commissioners sat last year and carried out their duties well. In the new police commissioners the city have a board that will stand for enforcement of the law without being extremists in any line. The new boards will enter upon their duties at once. Under the new arrangement, Mayor Manson will lake the place of ex-Mayor Stork on the license board so that that body will undergo but the one change. The police board Is entirely new.

A short programme of vocal and instrumental numbers was listened to, in which the following took part— Miss Coral Barker rendered a number of violin selections which were very much appreciated by tbe audience. Mr. J. E. Davey delighted tbe audience with several vocal solos; a cornet solo by Mr. Miller, and a recitation by Miss Ethel Grey were also very well received. After a short address by the pastor on behalf of the Brotherhood the evening was given over to a social time In which a number ol games were tak- 'ii part in by both young and old. Light refreshments were served by some members of the Brotherhood. During the past month the Brotherhood has been rapidly progressing and some very interesting meetings have been held on Monday evenings. A large number of young men have recently become members nad have been atking an active part in the meetings. Impromptu debates are one of the main features of the Brotherhood, and Is causing the members to become very efficient on tbe platform. o "EMPIRE" LIBEL SUIT Preliminary Hearing Has Been Set for Tomorrow Morning W'th°ut Fail. Adjournment Taken Vesterday, But no Further Delay (o Be Permitted Implement Picked up Which Is Similar to One Usually Employed in Such Work On Monday the powder stick by the unfortunate victims of tho explosion near Seal Cove was picked up and is a mute wtiness to the fact that the blast went off prematurely and that tne men were not using other than the ordinary methods employed by rock men in set. ting in the blast. The stick found does not throw much light on tho matter. It, however, indicates that they were not doing other than Is usual In such cases. The inquest is to be continued on Friday next before Coroner McMul- len. Dead Body of Girl Found in Brush Near Kispiox Village. Foul Play Suspected by the Police —Investigation Being Held (Special to The Journal) HAZELTON, Jan. 17.—What looks like a murdr case Is being Investigated by the provincial police here. Janet, a belle of the Kispiox tribe of Indians, was found dead In the brush near the village badly hacked about the breast and hips. It is supposed a drunken fight occurred amongst the natives sometime Friday. One Indian Is missing and has evidently taken to flight. o —-— The Installation of officers in (bo I. O. O. F. will take place this evening. All members are requested to bo present. In the police court yesterday morning the libel case of Mobley vs. ilio Empire was again called, but an adjournment wns again taken until tomorrow morning when the preliminary hearing will bo gone on without fail. L ,W. Patmore, representing the editor of the Empire, asked that there should be an adjournment for a week, as he was not yet In shape to go on witli his argument. Alex Manson, representing the prosecution, on behalf of Mr. Mobley, did not see why the case should bo stood over so frequently, Ho was anxious to proceed with tin- case, which in any even I would only be the preliminary bearing, Mr. Ptamoro si.ti-d thai tho election was only over two days and iiiat thai had Interfered with the case. Mr. .Manson could not ?e" thai the election should have any effed upon the courts. Police Magistrate Carss Interjected that tnere had been somewhat strenuous times, nil tlie same. He then stated that ho would adjourn the case until Wednesday morning, saying that ho did not want, to ex- lend the time longer in view of the fact that he might be leaving the city for a time on Thursday night. This date was agreed to and the preliminary hearing set for Wednesday morning. o Sergt. Regan, formerly of the olty police force, left yesterday for tbe south.

Smith Will Mm.- hi Ni \i Meet Ing In Direction of [{educing Legal Expenses - el Ij ' ouncll lasl evening took top to advance the revenue bylaw which is necessary each year to cover tho expenditures up to the time when : in- revenues of tlie city begin to come in. Ai the present time there re some lolls owing which cannot, be mel until this bylaw is passed and a credit established for tbe municipality witii tin- bank. The bylaw '.vliii li was ntroduced lasl evening by the chairman of the finanoa committee, Aid. Kirkpatrick, provides for tin- borrowing of the sum of $125,000 upon the crdoil of the city. This, s was explained, Is not, in any sense representative of what may ho borrowed. It was placed al ihis figure in order the.! the council might not require in any later period of tlie year to pass a supplementary byla.w to cover other needs that mi gill arise. The money will bo borrowed as required by the council and Inerest paid on tlie amount secured and on that alone. Tiie bylaw was put through all the stages with the exception of the final consideration which will bo given to it next Wednesday evening. Willi tho passage of Ibis bylaw tha council will be in a position lo se- i-un iho necessary funds to carry oo the affairs of the city. When ihe bylaw came up lai-.l evening objection was raised by Aid. Pattullo. Ilo thought that the. matter should be left over until ihe .nuiius had been gone into and then ii would be possible to konw more exactly what was going lo bn required, naming of the amount in the bylaw His Worship pointed out that the in no wise affected the council as to its borrowing. There was no necessity to borrow that sum from tbe bank and it could have no Injurious effect. The municipal clauses act authorized tlie course taken. The sum was the same as had been pur in the bylaw last year. According to last year's assessment and the rate fixed last year, the limit of the bylaw would be $18:1,000. Aid. Pattullo contended that the assessment was fictitious in part in view of the G. T. P dispute -and the sum likely to be paid by 'h'.u corporation. lie roalizdi'w What His Worship said. Ilo fell that it would be bettor however lo get hte estimates advanced so as lo ascertain just what was required for expenditure. He thought, if would b every extraordinary lo pass tho bylaw now. The bylaw passed its second reading, with Aid. Pattullo voting nay. The council thou wont into committee of the whole With Aid. Smith in the chair, lo consider the bylaw. Mayor Manson in reply lo n niii-s- tion from Aid. Hllditch as to wh<-u>- i-t- tho bank would advance tin- money under this bylaw, staled that ii was acceptable to tho bank, Tin bank would only advance what il felt authorize dto do oven If lite oily trled to exceed tho amount. Aid. Pattullo fell that II wouie in- much better to fix tin- amount ai a figure well within iho amounl <d tin. revenue of the city, Mj or Manson explained that than w.-is no harm could result from tin;, li would, If passed ovecrome the ilif ficulty of having perhaps at a later time in tho year to ask for a new bylaw to bo passed, The bylaw was reported anJ passed its third reading, Aid. Smith gave notice that ai Iho next mooting of tin., council he would move lo reduce the expenses of tho legi department Aid. Pattullo wanted a specific sum named. Aid. Smith said thai he figured 3d reducing it to about $1,800 a year. J. Y. Rochester went south yesterday on the Camosun.

I Tuesday, January 17, 1911, PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL HENRI IT LEADER A Review of the cause he represents as outlined by himself to Old Country journalist. Wiltam Maxwell, the special correspondent of the London Daily Mail, who recently visited Camilla, for the purpose of finding out at first hand the attitude of the people on some large questions affecting the Imperial status gives the result of an interview with Mr. Bourassa as follows— "Go and see Mr. Bourassa," said my friends in Montreal. Mr. Bourassa is a French-Canadian, the leader of the Nationalist parly and a niosi interesting figure in Canadian politics. 1 was anxious to I a Ik with a man whom many people look upon as iho future Parnell of Quebec, Hut Mr. Bourassa is a very busy man, and though a journalist, or perhaps because be is a Journalsit, is nol. given to Interviews. However, my old friend, Mr. Hector (larnoau, who is following in the steps of his famous grandfather and is aboul, to appear as the historian of Canada, succeeded in capturing his compatriot for me, Mr. Bourassa was at his desk in the office of Le Devoir, for he has transferred to Canada the French tradition of combining journalism with an active part in politics. In speech and appearance the Nationalist leader might easily be mistaken for an Englishman. When he takes his pipe out of his pocket and leans back in his chair the illusion is complete, but the illusion vanishes with a glimpse of his profile. Full-face Mr. Bourassa is British; side-face he is decidedly French. I wonder if this double physiognomy has anything to do with Mr. Bourassa's politics. His enemies say that he Is anti-British, yet Mr. Bourassa says—"You must not think that we have been waging an anti- British campaign. Far from it, 1 tell you, and I tell the people of the provinces where the English predominate, we are just as loyal to the Old Land, as they are.' His friends declare Hint he is anti-Imperialist, and Mr. Bourassa would be the last to deny it. Mis apologists, who do not scruple to use Mr. Bourassa as a stick willi which lo boat. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, profess that he ts neither anti-British nor anti-Imperialist, but only anti-Laurier. Let us listen to him and judge for ourselves. Mr. Bourassa needs no prompting. He 1s a trained journalist and politician, witli a natural gift of eloquence, a charming manner and a reputation for sincerity and honest conviction which his words do not belie. "I am opposed to the naval policy of the government," says Mr. Bourassa, "because it drags Canada into the abyss of militarism. What, ground is there for supposing that if Great Britain was at war Canada would be attacked or invaded? There are only two countries that could ever be suspected of hostile designs against Canada. Japan is one and she is the ally of Great Britain. Tbe United States Is the other. We French-Canadians have resisted two military invasions from the United States and have shed our blood freely to preserve the territory of Canana and the integrity of the Empire. Are we asked to spend money in strength, ening our frontier against the United States? Great Britain, without consulting us, has permitted the United States to violate the treaty that forbade the movement of warships on the Great Lakes. Does anyone imagine for a moment that Great Britain would raise a finger if the United States were to spend millions on arming her northern frontier or on adding to the number of American war vessels in the international waters that separate the United States from Canada? Agains tonemies outside our continent the Monroe doctrine Is our best defense. Therefore, we do not believe in the Gorman peril. Formerly it was the menace of Russia; now Hie menace of Germany is paraded as an excuse for this naval law. "Admit for tho moment—and it Is possibly true—that Germany is a real menace to Hie power of Great Britain—to her commerce and her maritime supremacy, Are we Canadians responsible for this? Have we had any part in directing the policy that has made Germany what she is today? "In the hint century Great Britain was engaged in no fewer than 21! wars and military expeditions. Yet, save in 1812, when the United Slates Invaded Canada and were beaten, was Canadian territory menaced for one moment? "It. is said that we ought, not to accept, the protection and the services of Great Britain without contributing to their charge. If Canada separated from Great Britain tomorrow, the British could not afford to have one soldier the less or' to weaken their navy by withdrawing a single ship. How, then, can It be said that Great Britain pays for our defence? "Canada has no maritime interests that stand in need of defence. They would be protected by interna tional law. Our commerce with the United States is three and a half times greater than wth the various parts of the British Empire. If British capital is invested in our railways and our municipal enterprises, our industries are supported by tlie capital of the United States. "Havi'ng regard to these facts and conditions, why should we take upon our shoulders new burdens and responsibilities which neither our constitution, nor our history, nor our traditions impose upon us?" "I have just come from the west," 1 ventured to interrupt, "and after a lapse of ten years have been tremendously impressed by the extraordinary development of the British provinces. Are you sure that these provinces share your views? Unless French-Canadians keep peace with the west, will not the British provinces become impatient? in a few years you will cease to hold the balance in population and will have become the minority." "In fifteen years—-before that time comes," replied Mr. Bourassa, "the eastern provinces—Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick—will have become French in language and Roman Catholic in faith." Mr. Bourassa is of the temperament against which arithmetic beats in vain. Here then is the root and flower of ihis overmastering ambition—a French enclave with the Monroe doctrine inscribed on its borders and a complacent and docile confederation bowing at his door and pleading to be admitted to the freedom of the Atlantic coast. Surely, it is Papd- neau, his rebel grandfather, who speaks. "And what os the privileges of tlie Roman Catholic church?" I asked with some hesitation, for this is a question that Canadians always avoid or speak about in baled breath; "now t inn Spain has become restive, Quebec is the last stronghold of Roman Catholic privileges. Here they have the sanctum of the law lo a degree never perm!ted in the days when Prance ruled Quebec." Tlie Roman Catholic church in Canada has deserted Sir Wilfrid Laurier and tho Liberals and has thrown its enor mous influence on the side of the Nationalist leader, Mr. Bourassa, For how long and for what purpose no one in Canada pretends to know. And .Mr. Bourassa is not disposed to enlighten mo. He is content to say that the Roman Catholic church in Quebec has no special privileges— no privileges that are not given to other religious bodies. Frankly, Mr. Bourassa is no Imperialist. He looks upon a federal empire as an idle and dangerous dream from which we shall presently awaken. "Geographically, it is impossible; politically, it. is undesirable.' This is his spoken and written conviction. He denounces Earl Grey for daring to preach the gospel of Imperialism, and holds that It is "contrary to the real unity of the Empire to seek to impose upon Canada, which has no voice in the government of the Empire, nay share in its external responsibilities, and its mi'itary defences outside the Canadian territor, the only portion of Iho Empire upon which the Canadian people may exercise any political or constitutional action." To the care- loss and the uninitiated this may sound good imperial doctrine. But Mr. Bourassa and his friends drafted his resolutoin with their tongue in their cheeks. They want no voice in the Empire. They look forward to the day when the tie will be broken. Hear Mr. Bourassa's confession. "If you leave Canada, like the rest of the Empire, to develop Its own national rourceses of -d cmf cmf cmf national and ethnic traditions, the separation will be a slow process and it will be friendly. We shall continue to be the best allies of Great Britain, and Great Britain, like the other nations of Europe, will find it of advantage to preserve in North America the independence of a country that will serve as a counterpoise to the United States invasion." Let us hear no more about Mr. Bourassa's sentiment toward the "Old Country," which has preserved for him his language, his faith and bis freedom. He who Is not for us is against us. Mr. Bourassa may be only a dreamer, as some In Canada say, but such dreams are dangerous stuff when they are told to the habitants of Quebec and are sanctified with tbe blessing of their Mother Church. FIGHT FOR MILLIONS Interesting Case in Which Alberta Government Is Concerned, Has Commenced The fight for the $7,400,000 of Alberta and Great Waterways moneys deposited In the Royal, Union and Dominion banks has begun with nil appearance to the action brought by the Alberta government against the above-named banks to compel payment to the province of those moneys was entered by the Royal and Dominion banks. The Union bank apparently intend to pay a million dollars of these moneys to the court, withdraw from the action and allow the claimants to fight It out for themselves, for they applied for and were granted a chamber summons calling upon the parties interested to appear before Justice Beck in chambers Jan. 27 and put forward their claims. The Union bank manager, Mr. John J. Anderson, also submitted an affidavit to the effect that the applicants do not collude with the Al- iberta and Great Waterways oom- pany, the Canadian West Construction company or the Standard Trust company, who are the trustees of the bondholders of the railway. This interpleader will give the Alberta and Great Waterways company an opportunity to make a fight of whloh they will In all probability avail themselves. According to Montreal dispatches Mr. J. Plerpont Morgan my be drawn Into the dispute. _ o IMPERIAL REOIPBOOITO British Pnpjcr Deals with ihe Subject Which is Now Before Statesmen Referring to the Newfoundland fisheries question, the London Morning Post says If there Is now to be a settlement it will not come out of the recent award, but out of the different themper which has marked the attitude of both the people of Newfoundland and of the United States. Newfoundlanders have learned by bitter experience that, unsupported by Canada, they cannot coerce the United States, if only be- oause the "Lone hand" policy cannot attract the sympathy of any Imperial government. A further weakness of Sir Robert Bond's campaign was Its avowed objective treaty, draftedm some years ago, but destroyed then by the Amerloan senate, giving the trade of the United States preference against the Empire. His successor, Sir Edward Morris, has talked instead about strengthening the colony's trade relations with the mother country. That change of attitude has doubtless been noted by the American government, which in any case Is anxious on domestic grounds to make a show of lowering tbe tariff. About a fortnight ago It wns reported that the United States had relaxed Its customs regulations for the benefit of Newfoundland fish, which was regarded as an overture. Of course Ihe United Slates would be very glad if It could bring Canada and Newfound land together Into some fiscal arrangement which wou'd forestall the British policy of Imperial reciprocity, but to Englishmen and to the Empire generally a brighter aspect of tbe situation Is the possibility that. Newfoundland may ally herself with Canada and make the British preference a cornerstone of her tariff system.

NELoON, Editor. i' ii la; . January I ., 1911. AN EARLY START ■ council has n li irli tor the work. The various committees have nizi 'I and have already entered ' ol pri | ' year. Win n t be i- is 1 ioIci 'I Into It will bo seen thai the i welve months which hi, . n entered ii] on will make period in the alstoTj ■ ' ■ city. The last coun- ill had :i difficult task; tlie present louncil will have no less difficult work to do. Tho choice which Mayor Manson made as members of the various standing committees and the grouping of these committees virtually into three distinct sections should result in simplifying the work of the cotin- ril. Aid. Kirkpatrick the leading councillor In Wed 2, as far as the number of votes Is concerned, should be eminently satisfactory to the citi- i as us chairman of the finance com- niinee. He is a business man of standing and is an eminently safe man. His Worship lias alloted himself to this committee also, which materially strengthens it. Aid. Newton also is a member. fit selecting Aid, Smith as the chairman of the water, telephone and -ioctric light committee, recognition is given fo the popular candidate in rVard l. With the work Aid. Smith has been familiar in the last coun- il. Aid. Clayton lias quite pro- nced i iews on these subjects and rltl Aid. Kerr, another eminently practical man, completes the committee, which should be callable of doing very effective work. Tbe streets committee one of tbe mo. i Important of tin committees, sonn s under the ■ hairmanship of Aid. Hllditch, which should be very satisfactory to the bulk of his electors. Aid. Ilildiich is exceedingly fair and has sat on that committee during the life of the last council and taken a very aotive part in its proceedings. In Aid. Pattullo there will be brought to bear the experience of that alderman with respect to Ihe question of streets. Aid. Pattullo took a very deep interest in the street work and the allotting of him to that branch of work is a fitting recognition of his abilliy along that line. Aid. Morrissey is a very practical man and there should be no tad; of aggressive work by this committee. A very good precedent was set by Mayor Manson in Ihe outlining of some of Hie pressing matters that must bo considered. While each alderman has his part in the affairs, the mayor of tho city as the executive head, must lie looked to m take a much more important part than the indivdual alderman. He, of necessity, can give rather more thought to the various matters and must be held responsible for the acts of Ihe council. The outline of work which His Worship gave last evening reveals a heavy task that lies before the council this year. in float out upon the public, that the i urn ol Mr. Manson was due hi "machine politics." The return of Mr. Mnson was a protest against hine poll! Ics. .Mr. Manson was i lected upon his merits in spite of the a [line.

The machine is now a wreck that will require a good deal of attention before it will do any very effection work again. FORGETTING TRADITIONS There was a time when the Liberal party was supposed to stand for the mass of the people against any arrogance of the more favored classes in the community. Long since the tra. ditions of the party in this respect have been forgotten and the Liberal party of today lias forgotten the principles for which the old-time leaders fought. The representative organ of the Liberal party in Prince Rupert has shown unniistakeably that it is not prepared to consider the voice of the great mass of the people as mandatory in matters of government. Its reference to the results of the late election indicates that it. believes not. in tlie government of the people, by the people, but that it stands for ihe government of the majority by the minority. Suoh a doctine must be most repulsive lo tho Liberals of Ihe old sdhool of Drown, Mackenzie and their contemporaries with the democratic principles for which they fought so si i enuously. The ruling faction of last year's council fell into the same grievous error of thinking the public was not to be entrusted with the conduct of ill mis and refused to take the citizens into counsel in (he mutter of expenditures. That system had its effect in the utter rout practically of that section of the council in the election just closed. Under the democratic form of government we have the people cannot with impunity be relegated to condemnation. -o- THE POLITICAL POSTER It Plays an important Part in Election—Western Man an Artist in Work MACHINE POLITICS News of the Province SURVEYORS' OFFICERS VANCOUVER—Tho annual general meeeting of the Corporation of e Britisth Columbia Land Surveyors was held in the city.

SINKING NEW SHAFT NANAIMO—The Western Fuel company is to sink a new shaft and open up a new field of coal. Preparations are already under way for sinking the shaft, which will be about 1,000 feet in depth, and will be located near the north mouth of the Nanaimo river in the vicinity of what is commonly known as the "Meadows." It is intended that January IT will see -the first sod turned and from that time on the work will be rushed as expeditiously as possible to a successful completion. The sinking of this new shaft and its attendant results in the opening a new field of coal and milking more easy of access the field already exploited by way of No. 1 shaft, will mean much to the city. The shaft will be connected with the local wharves by railroad, all the coal output being shipped over the present tracks and loaded aboard steamers with the present facilities, and docks owned by the company. The cost of sinking a shaft 1,000 feet deep is an enormous figure, and it augurs well for the prospects ol the coal trade and the almost unlimited field of coal to draw from that the Western Fuel company are going to this large expense in order to supply the ever-increasing demand for the product of the local mines.

In England it seems necessary to picture argument with such realism that no one can be mistaken. It shows, too, that the ordinary elector cannot grasp oral argument. One of the leaders may give a pronouncement in detal on free trade or tariff reform, but it is thought necessary to visualize his argument. The 'horrors" of tariff reform or taxes on food are pictured in a lurid poster which represents Englishmen consuming rats, mice dog and horse flesh; the condition brought about by free trade is forced home by an artistic production showing a family in the pangs of hunger. The hereditary privilege of the peers is represented by u pair of scales in which one lord outbalances people numbering many thousands, Although vry unfair on both sides i these posters add Interest to the campaign, and it is gooil for poster artists; particularly good tor one, John llassall, Ft.

VANCOUVER—A site comprising some 300 acres on the Fraser river, opposite Anaeis island, has been secured by the Canadian incorporated subsidiary company of the Western Steel corporation, of,whieh the practical head is Mr. James A. Moore of Seattle. It is said that in the near future there will arise on this site a huge steel plant with the usual concomitants of blast furnaces and a town for the workers and their families. Close on $2,000,000 is to be spent on buildings, wharves and machinery. The site comprises 1,700 feet of waterfront on the best part of the Fraser and has, it is said, been approved of by Mr. Moore. Among those who are interested are Messrs. R. P. McLennan, G. M. Glbbs and S. G. Faulkner, of Vancouver. The former of these confirms the purchase. TIMBER REVENUES "Rivers, Is yours a safety razor?"

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL MINERAL PRODUCTION FOR CALENDAR YEAR Provincial Mineralogist Gives His Estimate of the Ore Produced in Province During Last Twelve Months. The preliminary report of the provincial mineralogist, Mr. W. Fleel Robertson, on the province's production of minerals in the past year, has been issued. Mr. Robertson explains that the figures given are estimates, as the final official returns had not bi en i ecoiveil. Iii his summary lie says— '" be accompanying fable shows an estimated mineral production in the province during 1910 of a total value of $26,183,605. If the revised returns shall prove this estimate to be approximately • irrert, as is believed they will do, the total for the year will be the highest yet recorded in the history of mining in British Columbia, for it will compare favorably with that for 1901, which, at $25,822,668, has been tbe largest yearly total on .ecord. "It is of interest to note that this province continues to maintain its average production of the mineral produotion of that of the whole of the Dominion for the 25 years 1S86- 1910, included in the published official reports, at $1,120,000,000 (which allows about $95,000,000 for 1910), it would appear that British Columbia may fairly claim to nave produced between 27 and 28 per cent of this large sum. The aggregate value of the mineral production of this province for all years to 1910, inclusive, is nearly $374,000,000. Proportionate Production Deducting the total value of the minerals—chiefly for coal and placer gold—produced prior to lSSfi, which was nearly $64,000,000, British Columbia's approximate aggregate for the 26 years is left at $310,000,000, Wthich is between 27 nil 2S per cent of the whole of Canada. It is a striking fact, as indicateing the substantial increase in the value of the mineral production of the province In recent years as compared with that pjrior to 1906, that fully 40 per cent of this large value is the production of the last five years, 1906-1910, while more than half—53.7 per cent —is that of seven years, 1904-1910." The production of different metals Is given as follows, with comparison of previous year— Placer gold, $482,000, increase $5,- 000; lode gold, $6,198,505, increase, $274,41e; silver, $1,282,600, increase $42,320; lead, $1,480,000, decrease, $229,260; copper, $$4,972,- 500, decrease, $946,022; zinc, $184,- 000, dercease, $216,000. The total metal produotion last year was therefore $13,599,505, as compared with $14,66S,141 in 1909. The coal output was 2,SOO,000 long tons, valued at $9,800,000, an increase of $2,77,334 over (lie previous year. Coke amounted to 214,- 000 long tons, valued at $1,284,000, a decrease of $268,218 from 1909. The value of building materials was $1,500,000, showing an increase of $300,000. ihe grand total of metals and non-metals for 1910 is $26,183,- 505, as compared with $24,443,025 in the previous year. The coal product was much the largest in the his- taory of the province. Gold Output Atlin is credited with an increase of $60,000 in placer gold, while Cariboo decreased $45,000, owing largely to water scarcity. The quantity of lode gold produced was the largest on record except 1903, and last year may yet exceed that when returns are complete. Rossbind mines contributed nearly 120,000 OZ, of the total (estimated at 251,000 oz.) and rather more than twoitohlrds of Hint quantity came from Hie Centre star group. The proportion from iho Le Roi was about 9,500 oz., while nearly all the remainder came from tho mines of Lo ltoi No. 2, Lid., the toial from the Binaller mines Inning been only aboul 1,000 oz. Coast mines furnished 6,900 ounces, most- ly from Texada Island. Lead and Silver There were noticeable decreases in lead and silver, the reasons for which are thus summarized in the report,— "The apparent diminution of the known ore-bodies in the St. Eugene mine; the closing of the Blue Bell mine, pending the reorganization of the French compan yowning it, and the provision of additional capital for new power maohlner required at the mine, the extensive damages done last Bummer by forest fires in the Siocan, which destroyed railway bridges and trestles along several miles of the Kaslo & Siocan railway, and concentrating and power plants nt mines; and, in much smaller degree, the cessation of production for iue time at several mines, among them the North Star in East Koote- iiuy, the Cork on south fork or Kaslo crook, and the Reoo, in ihe Siocan. Il may be mentioned in passing thai the outlook is favorable lor a larger production in I tl 11 of this metal at several Siocan mines, notably the Rambler-Cariboo, Siocan Star, Ruth- Hope group, Standard, Van Roi, tind llewitt-Lorna Doone group. "The low price of lead in 1910 had tho effect of making tlie bounty on lead, by which the Dominion aids the lead-mining Industry, payable throughout tbe year. "The pjroduotion of copper has been estimated art 39,000,000 pounds, of wthich 32,000,000 pounds is credited to the Boundary district mines; about 3,600,000 pounds to Rossland miines; 25,000 pounds to three mines situated in the vicinity of Nelson; and the remainder to coast mines, chiefly Britannia, on Howe sound, and the Marble bay and Cornell mines on Tex da island. a "There do not appear to have been any very marked difference in the totals. Any important change there was in the year's results must be at- triuted to the mines^of the Boundary district, which', however, continue lo maintain a comparatively large produotion, mainly from those properties that have .been producing with little or no intermission during the last ten years." Dividend Payers Concluding, Mr. Robertson says— "Finally, it is gratifying to note thai several mining companies paid dividends in 1910. These were Medley Gold .Mining Co., four quarterly dividends and a bonus, totalling 14 per cent of the issued capital, £.200,000; Le Roi No. 2, Ltd., three dividends of two shillings each per share on 20,000 shares; Crow's Nest Pass Coal Co., two dividends each of 2 per cent; Granby Consolidated M. S. & P. Co., one payment Bit the rate of 1 per cent on aboul $14,850,000; anil the Hastings (British Columbia) Exploration Syndicate, Ltd., operating Hie Arlington gold mine at Erie, Nelson mining division, a dividend of sixpence per share on 60,370 issued shares." .0 REMEMBERED SECRETARY St. Andrew's Society Recognize Merit of Efficient Officers. At the last meeting of the St. Andrew's society, S. D. McDonald, who has served as secretary so efficiently was remembered by the members of the society by being presented with a set of silver. Mr. McDonald expressed his high appreciation of the honor done him. Another feature of the gathering was the congratulating of another active officer, Aid. Kerr, upon his election to the city council. o Lionel Crippen, who has been in Port Simpson for some weeks has been a visitor In Prince Rupert for a few days.

BEARS PLKNTIITL Fashion Has Much lo Do Willi the IllCllll'ense in (be Province The fact that fashionable fair ones and Mister Tommy Atkins have of late used bearskin far less in order lo achieve a resplendant appearance has caused that animal to multiply recently to an amazing degree throughout ihe Province of British Columbia. Within the last few years there has not been so many bears about as there tire today, If. Mr. Bruin only knew, how Ihe would approve of the presnt fashions. Mr. Bryan Williams, tlie provincial game warden, who conveyed Ibis Interesting information, said the other outstanding feature of the game situation is the horde of wolves thai are destroying the deer on'Vancouver island. They I ave practically ex- terminated the deer In the north of the island and have now started to slaughter the wapiti. Tiie government offers a bounty or $16 on every wolf's head, but the beasts are so cunning thai the most alluring trip fails to catch them and they are much too knowing to eat poison. o Chief Engineer Doilds, however, such as prevailed, a much larger vessel would have been in danger, and my own experience on the Governor, leads me to believe that the St. Denis, swept by those big seas, foundered off the cape, and the discovery of the wreckage at Cape Scott, sent ashore by the northwesterly current, apparently confirms these opinions." ! MARINE NEWS TRADE WITH HERE Two more steamers are on the way to the Pacific coast to be added to tbe coasting fleet for service between the south and northern British Columbia ports. Mr. John Call, manager of the Northern Steamship company, states that a steamer has been purchased by Capt. Eddie, of Ihe Northern Steamship company, in tbe United Kingdom and has left Liverpool and another steamer, a smaller vessel, bought to replace the Petriana, which was sold to the Canadian Northern Pacific Fisheries company, left some lime ago en route to the coast. Mr. Gait would not announce the names of the steamers, but stated that the larger vessel is a steamer of 1,200 Ions register, suitable for the passenger and freight trade ol' northern British Columbia. The other vessel is a smaller craft, which will lie used as a freighter. She is slightly smaller than the Petriana, being similar in size and construction lo the steamer British Columbia, formerly Ihe Onyx, which was brought out last summer for the Coast Steamship company of ancouver. The smaller vessel is practically a new one, having been built six years ago. This steamer will handle freight, and the larger vessel will be placed in a regular service to alternate with the steamer Cetriana on a weekly schedule to northern British Columbia ports. ST. DENIS WAS IX SIIAI That the ill-fated steamship St. Denis went to sea in perfect trim and with her winter North Atlantic Plimsoll line out of water, is Ihe statement of Maj. C. Gardiner Johnson, agent for Lloyd's in British Columbia, who returned from a visit to California Tuesday night. Maj. Johnson was out in the same gale which caused the St. Denis to founder, for he was on his way south to California on the steamship Governor. Although the Governor left a day or so ahead of the St. Denis, the bad weather prevailed even then, and although the Governor is a splendid sea boat she was obliged to heave to, and arrived in San Francisco 2 4 hours late. "We were informed by wireless from shore that II was blowing 100 miles an hour, although un Ihe Governor we estimated the force of tlie v. ind ui sn miles," said Mr. Johnson 'I have spent 12 years at sea and I have never si in such bud iveather, and a dozen times during the night I though! ol th.- St. Denis "The St. Denis wns a chartered ship and 1 wns acting for her owners in London..

Better Bodies of Fuel Expected (bun Is Found in Crow's Nest Puss A vast new coal country, which will prove far wealthier than the famous Crow's Nest coal country of Southern Alberta, and which will produce coul that will far exceed in value for all purposes tbe coal which Is taken out of the Crow's Nest mines is to be opened up and developed west of Edmonton between the McLeod river and the Rockies, for the first time next year, says the Edmonton Capital. Companies with a total capitalization of something over $15,000,000, at the heads of which are some of the wealthiest and most prominent capitalists in the Dominion and of other countries have been organized within tbe past year, to open up and develop this new found field of vast coal beds, a development of which the importance to Edmonton cannot be estimated. Tapped by G. T. P. It is only within the past few years that it has become generally known to the world, that west of Edmonton, along the main line of the Grand Trunk Pacific and tlie projected main line of the Canadian Northern railway, lie coal beds that will produce coal superior in every way to the Crow's Nest coal, now famous throughout Ihe continent, and which has been on the market for years. Geologists, mining engineers, and prospectors have known it for many years, but, they kept their secrets tight, and it has been only with the coming of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway, which will tap these rich areas, thai interest has awakened to the point of action. , It is only within the past year that any actual development work has taken place among these coal fields. But during the year thai has just assed, capital to the extent of millions, much of it from Great Britain has boon raised to develop this coal. and within the next year or two, 1 Edmonton, which is to benefit tremendously, will witness a stupendous development in the country which lies to the west close under tlhe foothills. Vast Capital Down in the department of the provincial secretary of Alberta, there are registered companes with a total capitalization of over $12,000,000, who have already conducted extensive development work on coal areas out west and who next year will be in a position .to mine coal. In addition to these, other large companies have been organized with extensive capitalization, together with smaller companies of local capitalists and others. Some of the companies and Uieir capitalization are as follows—- Pacific Pass Coal Co.. . . $ 5,000,000 Yollowihead Pass Coal and Coke Co 1,000,000 Jasper Collieries 2,500,000 Pembina Coal Co 1,100,000 German Development Co. 1,000,000 Total $12,000,000 McKenzic Interested In addition to these, Is the Brazen Collieries, headed by Sir William McKenzie, rpesident of the Canadian Northern, and capitalized at several million's. The Pacific Pass Coal Co. is a group of local and Montreal capitalists headed by John Greenshields, of Montreal. Their property is on the Little Pembina river south of the main line of the Grand Trunk Pacific at Edmonton. Lying directly adjacent to this property is that of the Yellowhead Pass Coal and Coke company, headed by William O'Brien, of Montreal, the millionaire Cobalt mine owner. The Jasper Collieries, capitalized at a million, is beaded by Anddew l.aidlaw, of Spokane, and owns large areas in the Jasper Park, just beyond ihe crossing of the G. T. P. over the Athabasca. Work Has Been Done All these companies have done considerable work within the past year, and will be ready to deliver coal next year. The Yellowhead Pass Co. and i In- Pacific Pass Co. properties will he tapped by the 50-mile G. T. P. branch now building south from the main line, and which will be com- pleted next summer. The German Development company Is beaded by prominent eastern nul German capitalists who, in conjunction witli the Canadian Northern railway, have secured vast coal areas along the Brazeau river, which property will be served by the Cana- diian Northern branch from Stettler, and tiie G. T. P. branch from lOdson. The Canadian Northern, under the name of the Brazeau Collieries, have secured a large amount of capital from the old country to develop their coal, and are rushing construction of the branch railwap in order to take out coal next year. The Pembina Coal company Was organized under the auspices of the Western Canada Land company, and have expended $1,000,000 in purchasing valuable coal lands along the Pembina river, 60 miles west of Edmonton. They have a capitalization of $1,100,000 and have done development work this year. In addition to this company, several other companies capitalized with money from the United States are developing coal In the vicinity of the Pembina. Provide for Mountain Haul Much of the coal that will be developed along the Grand Trunk Pacific will supply the fuel to at least two railway companies for the haul over the mounains. The G. T. P. and C. N. R. will take a very large pro- proporton of the coal produced for this purpose alone. But much of it also will go to beat the homes of the prairie provinces, and Edmonton will stand to benefit immensely from suoh trade. New coal towns which will be tritutary to Edmonton in tdade and commerce, will spring up in the new coal country. MOW WHALERS Another whaling company is being formed by American interests at Seattle to operate in Alaskan waters, and contracts have been awarded to the Moran shipyards for the construction of two steam whalers (similar- in type to Ihe vessels of the Canadian Northern Pacific Fisheries company) which will be built at Seattle at a cost of $100,000 for each vessel. Tbe new concern will be friendly to the Victoria company and has arranged not to interfere with the hunting ground or compete in the mraket held by the local company. The American company has asked the Canadian Northern Fisheries company to loan them one. of its steamers lor use as a model for the construction of the new company's vessels and it is expected that this request will be acceded to and one of Ihe local company's fleet will be j sent to Seattle for this purpose.

MANY INQUIRIES Aldermen Want Information on Many Subjects at First Council Sitting. the council to consider before Wednesday even- Questi I a City Hall Will Early Gone into—Site to lie Decided Upon lie Although the silting of the council lust evening was practically tbe lirst tin- tin- year, t'ue mayor and aldermen -■■<•' down in work without any loss m' iinn- and considered sunn- matters of pressing moment. All I he ii.- mbei I lie council wctv I in nml after ihe committees had been struck a star! was made on tbe order paper. The city engineer reported that pumping was ni cessary to supply water. He asked that a suffii lent supply nf gasoline in- secured to guard againsl a shortage. The repor ... purchasing agent authorized to order the gasoline. Many Questions Aid. Newton, under the head of inquiries referred to the desire on the part nf citizens for light. He expected that the matter would re- celve attention, having heen referred to in iho mayor's outline of work. Aid. Newton also wanted to know if something could not be done to safeguard the water supply in view of lire protection, stating that he had been informed some of the hydrants were frozen. He also referred to the unsuitable character of the fire engine purchased. He suggested thai perhaps an exchange of engines might be made. Aid. Pattullo said thai he understood that not a single main was frozen up. The old council Insisted upon the engineer sparing no expense to see that the mains were kept in service tor fire protection. Aid. Hilditch corroborated Aid. Pattullo. Aid. Kerr said lie was told by a member of Hie street department that all the mains were working. The city engineer arriving he was asked concerning it and said that he knew of no main being frozen except a dead end on Third avenue. Auto Chemical Aid. Pattullo referring to the question of the lire engine, said that the old council had taken up the question of whether it would be better to have horses or an auto. Tbe council favored the auto on account -of the condition of the roads in the city. This was to be a chemical engine and hose reel. It wat true that an auto might be stalled such weather as they had now, but horses would likely be stalled also. His Worship suggested that the fire and water committee might go into this. Aid. Newton suggested wiring to the firm to hold the order. This was deemed unwise until the committee reported. Aid. .Morrissey wanted to have information as to when residents of Ninth avenue would be able to have water. It was suggested that the report should be forthcoming for the next meeting. Financial Report Aid. Clayton wanted to know when a financial report for the past year would be forthcoming. Aid. Pattullo said that the auditor was al work and the report would soon be forthcoming. Aid. Kerr wanted to know whether nothing could be done to relieve the situation on Third avenue. If a fire had occurred it would have l)3en a very difficult situation with so much snow on the street. Vld. Hilditch thought il would bo Impossible to have the snow hauled away by horses. It would be better to wait for the thaw which wns likely to come within a few days. Aid. Pattullo, in support of the recoi mdo-tlon ol the mayor with respect lo securing a permanent wilier supply urged that, this should receive early attention. City Hull Question Aid. Hllditch suggested that the question of a city hall should be taken up at once. At present the council was paying $100 a month fen tt'or the present building occupied. it, would be necessary to got another building for the engineering department. An early start should be made in getting a permanent ctiy badd and thus overcome this expense. His Worship, in ibis connection referred to the fact that the last council had recommended the site on the Market Place for the city hall. If that was still the wish of tho council he would take It up with fihe government, when he went to Victoria and press for lite of getting a definite answer as to whether it could be obtained. He would like the matter ing. Aid. .Morrissey suggested that perhaps Fulton street could be straightened and a suitable site afforded there. Aid. Newton objected to poles for wiling being put on the streets. An adjournment was taken until Wednesday evening. o ICE GIVES TROUBLE Canadian Pish and Cold Storage Company Will Cense Building Operations for u Little Time Owing to the trouble which the company bus experienced during the pasl few days in getting t-m-k from the quarry in Port Essington, the Canadian Fish and Cold Storage company lias decided to suspend building operations at the works near Soul Cove for tlie present. The trouble that the company has met witli is due lo Hie fact that there is a lot of ice off the point where the granite is obtained and thi skeeps drifting in and out so that ii becomes uncertain when the scow inn he got out safely. As the ice at that point does not last for many weeks it has been deemed wise to suspend the work here lor a little time. Had it not. been for this the com- iiiiny could without hindrance have proceeded with the work here nil winter. o ENTERS UPON DUTY City Council Takes Up the Task at the City Hall at Noon Yesterday. Ml Make Formal Declaration to Obey Laws nml Take Seats as Board Yesterday at noon tbe city council lor the present year was duly installed in office and went through all the necessary formalities to enable them -to sit and carry on the affairs of the city for the next twelve months. Assembling at tlie city hall at 11.30 the most of the members bad to wait until 12 for one member who had mistaken the time when the ceremony of swearing In the council was to take place. The city clerk having read the declaration as to the election returns each memiber of the council made (his declaration before the police magistrate, A. Carss, and was assigned his seat at the board. The arrangement of the seats as was made evident when the committees were struck brings the various members of the committees all together and is a very convenient one. With the mayor at the head of the table there is seated to hjis right aldermen in the following order— Aid. Smith, Aid. Clayton, Aid. Kerr, Aid. Pattullo; to the left of Mis Worship sits the city clerk and then the aldermen in the following order — Aid. Kirkpatrick, Aid. Newton, Aid. Morrissey. Aid. Hi'- ilit.ch is given a seat at the end of the table opposite His Worship. After the members of the council bad taken their seats at the table the seal of the city was handed over to His Worship by Mr. Carss, who at the same time extended congratulations to Mayor Manson and all the members of the council upon their election. He reminded them that the city would expect a groat deal of them; that they would be expected to exercise all due economy In the transaction of the business of the city and that nt the same time there would be a demand for a considerable amount of work in keeping with Ihe needs of the place. Mayor Mnnnon expressed the thanks of the council on Magistrate Coras having kindly attended to swear in ihe council. Tile council would from time to time have to puss bylaws probably for the better conduct of the affairs and us police magistrate he would have a part in seeing lo the enforcement of those. The council would ever be ready to take any suggestions that might be made by the magistrate with respect to such bylaws. Addressing the members of the council, His Worship extended congratulations. He felt that Ihe council would work harmoniously for the betterment of the city. There was a lot of heavy work but he felt sure each one would take his full responsibility In seeing that the work was carried out. well. As the council was to sit in the evening he saw no need of taking up business until then. On motion of Aid. Smith nnd Aid. Hilditch the council then adjourned until 8 o'clock in the evening. GAMBLING CHARGES Failure to Secure Convictions in the Police Court Cases. Magistrate Acquits O'Shuiigliness}1 and /nielli on Evidence Before Him In the police court yesterday morning, Magistrate Carss dismissed the charge laid against I-!. O'Sbaugihnessy of keeping ;i common ginning house. After Ihe evidence was taken a few days before W. B. l-'isher, representing the accused, asked for a dismissal on the ground Him it had not been proven that gambling took place on the daibe specified if il were proven nt all. Yesterday Alex Manson, I'm- toe prosecution, asked to amend the Information to cover this point, when objection was raised by .Mr. Fisher. The magistrate said he would nol require id decide the point as it hud nol been proved that O'Shatigh- nessy had been in charge of Ihe louse. Ii had been given in evi- lence Hint he was there and play- Ing hut that did not, make him a keeper of Hie house. This morning the charge against Zarelli of gambling in tlie Alaska Club was concluded, evidence being produced to corroborte Zarelli's contention that there was no rake- off in the games. Tlhe magistrate dismissed the case. Zarelli was fined $5 for carrying a firearm. A charge against Zarelli for allowing liquor to be sold ou his premises, was dismissed on the ground that the owner of property is not liable for the acts of others who may violate the law. o IMPROVED FACILITIES G. T. I*. Is Getting Heady for u Very Busy Season With Opening' of Spring- In spite of the disagreeable weather of the past week the G. T. P. road gang in the city has been making steady pjrogress in connection with the track , laying in the yards. The rails have been laid across the end of Centre street and now the rolling stock can be carried along past the wharves of the company to a position close to the bluff opposite the small boat houses. This completes the main line of the railway through the yards to the point referred to and the coaches have been carried forward to the end of the track. The company is preparing for a very heavy traffic along its line in the spring and all the work that can be done in the city yards preparatory to enabling the expeditious handling of that rade is being done this winer before the traffic really opens. Mr. Meehan, the general superintendent, has also made arrangements for the accommodation of the smaller craft alongside the new section of wharf that has been put in by the company this summer. This is intended to allow those who have to do business with the city by means of small vessels an opportunity to do so with no inconveni- ience. It is not the intention to allow the landing which is afforded there to become a place where all kinds of craft may tie up and prevent its being used for the purposes for which it was intended . The pro- jec Is to let the fullest use be mado of the low floating wharf for all who hvae business to do. Those taking ndvnnlage of It are supposed to vacate It as soon as their business is completed. o MAYOR'S PROPOSALS (Continued From Page One.) the desirability of looking closely into tbe standing charges of each department, and see if it is not possible to effect a reduction In the expenses without impairing the efficiency of the service. AH committees should as early as possible submit lo the finance committee estimates of expenditure for their departments in order that this committee may be able to prepare estimates of receipts and expenditures for the year. Respectfully submitted, WM. MANSON, Mayor. On motion of Aid. Hilditch this was referred to the various committees to be disposed of by the committees in so far as they wore affected. >*$$$<i> .> •>«:•>>•:• >:«:«:< •> •:• •:••:«>:<•>•: f * * I Import i Our Wines * direct from Europe; and that * no bouse in Prince Rupert can £ equal I hem for quality.
