HURRY AGREEMENT
Mayor Manson May go South and Have
it Taken up With the
Premier.
City Council Pusses an Easy Night
us the Board Deals With
Routine
il was an uninteresting meeting
that the city council held last night.
Only once did there come a ripple
over the smooth run of affairs. The
meeting was given over for the most
part to routine business.
A report was read from the city
solicitor on the gambling case which
was very similar to the one he gavet
verbally the week before.
It was received and filed.
Street Improvement
A. J. Prudhomme wrote calling
attention to the condition of Fifth
street, Fraser street and Sixth
street, and asking that attention be
given to it.
It was referred to the streets committee.
, Want Sidewalk
A petition was presented asking
for a sidewalk, on Second avenue between Sixth street and Eighth street.
This also was referred ' to the
streets committee.
After the Dogs
Aid. Douglas suggested that in
view of the fact that there were so
many dogs wandering about the city,
the tax should be enforced.
It was pointed out that there
would have to be machinery provided to impound the Vlogs and to take
care of them after taken.
The matter, on motion of Aid.
Smith, was referred to the streets
committee.
Assessment Agreement
His worship called attention to the
fact that the assessment agreement
with the G. T. P. had not been assented to by the provincial government yet. According to reports, Premier McBride would be in Victoria
very soon. It occurred to him that
the council might consider whether
it would be advisable for him to go
south and meet the premier and
have the agreement dealt with at
once upon his arrival. There wou'd
be a lot of business awaiting Mr.
McBride and wh..e he might give
immediate attention to it there was
the danger that it might be delayed
a little time. He felt it was important to get that agreement signed
up as soon as possible and get it
before the people.
Aid. Hilditch felt that if the time
could be shortened for the signing
of the agreement he would favor the
mayor going south. The assessment
roll could then be closed up.
Aid. Smith felt that it was wise
to have the mayor go south and have
this taken up.
Aid Douglas wanted to know if
this could not be attended to without anyone going south.
His worship pointed out that while
this might receive prompt attention,
yet there was the danger that there
might be an accumulation of other
of other business that might delay
this being concluded at once.
Aid. Newton wanted all haste used
to complete the agreement.
It was decided to have his worship go south If deemed expedient.
The hydro-electric proposition
came up on a motion to have the
committee to deal with and get In
shape for presentation lo the people.
Aid. Newton, who moved in the matter, suggested that perhaps the works
committee and the water committee
might Jointly go Into the matter and
report.
Aid. Newton said there were a
lot of citizens who were anxious to
know how this hydro-electric would
It being done under the day labor
system or by paying 45 cents an hour.
Others were opposed to the contract
system on the ground that that might
be followed by a repetition of the
work on the streets at present by
which the money went largely to nonresidents.
He thought these divergent views
might be brought together. His own
view was that perhaps a plan could
be carried out by which the city engineer might declfle upon a 'fair
price for the work. The workers
might then have the chance to select
parts of the work.
Ald», Hilditch felt that this was a
question that should go to committee of the whole. It was in committee of the whole that It would have
to be considered before this was settled.
Aid. Douglas was fivorable to the
matter going to committee of the
whole.
Aid. Hllditch moved that the matter be referred to committee of the
whole, stating that he did so because
he felt that the finance committee
should not shirk responsibility in
this.
This statement called for a display
of some warmth by Aid. Newton, who
protested against his trying to shirk
any responsibilty. He unbraided Aid.
Hllditch for such a line as he pursued.
The amendment carried,

BRIDGE ON SKEENA
Settlers Confer With Member for District
Relative to This
Question.
They Select Point Which They Feel
Would Be the Bost Suitable
' Place
POLITICAL CAMPAIGN
HAS BEEN OPENED
Government Takes Dissolution and Fixes Election for
September 21—Are Commencing an Active
Fight Throughout the Dominion—
Where Gains are
Expected.
On Saturday, Wm. Manson, M.P.P.,
took a trip up the Skeena as far as
Kltsumkalum, where he met the settlers from various points in that vicinity and discussed with them the
question of a bridge across the Skeena. The settlers are anxious to have
a bridge put over the river, and
at their request Mr. Manson visited
the place and heard the representations.
The gathering was a very representative one, settlers coming from Lakelse and Copper City, on the bank
opposite the railway, and the whole
country from Kltsumkalum to Kitselas being also represented*
After a full discussion the meeting decided to recommend that
Hellsgate be the point where a bridge
should be erected. This is near the
Little Canyon and within easy reach
of Kltsumkalum also. It is likewise
about half way between the Lakelse
and the Copper River valleys.
Another recommendation made by
the meeting was that the government
should be asked to take over the
ferry, now operated as a private enterprise, from Copper River station
on the G. T. P., to Copper City, on
the opposite side.
This ferry is serving a good purpose but the delegates feel that it
should be in the hands of the government. With the development of
the Copper River valley there is no
doubt but the ferry will become a
very important means of communication and it will have to be enlarged very considerably to meet
these increasing demands.
In the matter of the bridge, it i»
possible that the public works engineer will visit the location as soon
as possible and go into the whole
matter on the ground in order to
ascertain the practicability of the
suggested and at the same time Investigate any other points.
o
Telegraphic Connection.
Superintendent Phelan of the Dominion government telegraph service
is still !n the city superintending the
completion of the Stewart line. He
expects to have it ready In a very
few weeks now. The difficulties to
be encountered are great but they
are being overcome. Connection by
wire Is now established with Goose
Bay.

The May Roberts Company closed
its present engagement at the Empress Theatre last evening, playing
before a crowded house. The company will, after a trip north, return
to Prince Rupert and put on another
engagement with new plays.
(Special to The Journal)
Ottawa, Aug. 1.—To get a verdict
from the people of Canada on the
reciprocity treaty with the United
States, the Canadian parliament was
dissolved Saturday. Sir. Wilfrid
Laurier's government will go before
the people in September.
Nominations for the election will
take place September 14 and die
polling will come on September 21.
Campaign Is On
What is to prove a hot campaign is now on. R. L. Borden
yesterday conferred with Hon. Robert Rogers of Manitoba and Hon. F.
Cochrane, minister of lands and
mines in Ontario. The latter is to
direct the Ontario campaign, to begin with a monster picnic in Toronto
next Saturday.
Neither Mr. Borden's nor Sir Wilfrid Laurier's itinerary is yet ready.
The former will spend three weeks
in Ontario, then hold a few meetings
in Quebec and go to the lower provinces. Sir Wilfrid Laurier will tour
Ontario and Quebec.
It is rumored that Clifford Sifton
will direct the campaign generally
for the Conservatives.
The Opposition counts on heavy
gains in the lower provinces and expect to sweep Ontario, Manitoba and
British Columbia. They think Bourassa will divide Quebec against Sir
Wilfrid.
Conservative Gains
Toronto, Aug. 1. — Mayor Geary,
president of the Cenral Conservative
Association, Toronto, said yesterday:

"The prospects are excellent in this
province for gaining probably twelve
seats or more.
"In the west, I am glad to learn,
that Mr. Borden's trip made such a
strong impression, and if one can
judge from the views of Conservative members, it is by no means a
certainty that a majority of the members from there will not be Conservatives.
"Premier McBride told me today
he considered that British Columbia
will send practically the solid Conservative representation."
Grain Growers' Stand
Winnipeg, Aug. 1.—The Grain
Growers of Western Canada have decided at a meeting in Brandon that
in the approaching election separate
candidates will not be nominated for
parliament to represent that powerful agrarian society. Instead, a resolution was adopted that members exert all their Influence in the party
with which they affiliate to have
candidates named who will be favorable to the principles advocated by
the Grain Growers' Association. This
decision is expected to govern the'
situation in the three prairie provinces, though it is not necessarily
binding. The political activity of
this powerful organization of farmers threatened to seriously complicate the political situation in the
west if they placed separate candidates in the field. This decision will
be a relief to the old party leaders,
for it means no third party men, a*
least for the present. ,

R. Brutinel is Here to Conduct Negotiations With the City for Installing Plant.
He Expects to Commence Work on
Large Scale in Near
Future
Raymond Brutinel of the Prince
Rupert Hydro-Electric Company arrived In the city by the Prince
George. Interviewed as to the object of his visit In the city, Mr.
Brutinel made the following statement:
"I come to Prince Rupert to meet
the people again and to try to reach
satisfactory agreementsi concerning
the establishment of gas works and
the sale of industrial power.
"As I have stated often, our company does not intend to deal In light
nor in small power business; those
two branches of the electric business
are better looked after by the municipality, •
"We wish it to be understood that
our negotiations with the city are lo
be on the basis of a producer to a
consumer; In other words, we propose to develop power for sale to
large consumers nt a lower price
than the consumers can produce
themselves under any given conditions—the city being one of those
consumers. It Is obviously to the
advantage of both parties concerned
that their relations be friendly and
and also that they act In close cooperation.
"I understand that the city is Investigating the development of electric power In conjunction with the
establishment of their water supply.
We are convinced that we can supply wholesale power to the city
cheaper than the city can generate
It, and we feel that the council will
go carefully into the matter of cost
and adopt the scheme most advantageous to the people.
"The work of development will be
started right away and within a week
a large force of men will be at work
establishing a permanent camp on
tlie Khtada River. During the next
three or four years from 300 to 400
men will be on the payroll of the
company. This means that a large

The mineral claims of Frank
Roundy on Alice Arm have been
bonded to a syndicate represented by
Captain John Irving of Victoria. The
sum involved is reported to be about
$16,000. In the securing of the
property it is believed that one of
the most promising In the north lias
been taken over.
The ore body In the Roundy claim
bears a very close resemblance to
that that was found In the famous
Cotnstock mine, it is, in fact, so
similar that old miners who have
seen both say that it would be impossible to distinguish the dlffer-
enes and that ore from the northern
mine might easily be taken as coming from tiie old Conistock.

WAR CLOUD PASSES
The statement of
Hunter that British
a surprise parcel is
ter proved to be a correct statement
of the situation than in Northern
British Columbia. The latest manifestation of the surprise parcel is
seen in the location of salt springs
right on the G. T. P. within a few
miles of Prince Rupert. These are
at Mile 44 and the original spring
is on the right-of-way of the railway,
which makes it exceedingly valuable
should the springs be found in sufficient quantity to make the enterprise
a commercial one.
During construction days the
spring, which is a quite a strong one
bubbling up out of the earth at that
point, was discovered by one of tiie
cooks in the camp.. He took the |
necessary steps to secure the location and since then experiments
have been carried out. The brine
is so strong that it is not difficult
in a crude way to collect considerable quantities of good quality of salt
from evaporation.
On Saturday J. Y. Rochester of
this city, whose interest in the location had been aroused, when out to
the place and secured samples. He
Will investigate the matter thoroughly with the object in view of seeing
whether the discovery is not of commercial value. Investigations will
I be carried on to see if the salt water cannot Ue obtained there so as
e to make the erecting of regular evap-
Iorating works worth while. It is bc-
I lieved by many who have seen the
; location that this will not be unlikely, and that before long Prince
Rupert Will have within easy reach
the only salt wells found in the
province.

(Special to The Journal)
Ottawa, Aug. 1.—At a meeting of
tlie cabinet on Saturday, it has leaked
out that there was a most unusual
scene, and two members of the cabinet are reported to have exchanged
blows. These were Hon. W. S. Fielding and Hon. Frank Oliver.
The immediate cause of the falling
out is not made public but it Is believed to be the final act to a succession of differences that has existed between the ministers, Mr. Oliver being well aware of attempts to
discredit him and some members of
the cabinet wishing to relieve the
administration of what they regard
as too great a load to carry through
the approaching election owing to
Mr. Oliver's unpopularity in the
west.
Denies Fight
The Ottawa Journal publishes an
interview with Frank Oliver in which
the latter denies that blows had been
exchanged between himself and the
minister of finance at the cabinet
meeting on Saturday.
There seems to be no question but
that there was a wordy altercation
between the two ministers and that
Mr. Oliver withdrew from the meeting.

I WOMEN'S APPAREL I
* * * * * * * * * * * •
;, * **** * *** * * ** * * * * *** * * * * * * * * * * ** * *
The exigencies of fashion during
the last few seasons have completely revolutionized the style of women's underclothes. The modish woman of today wears fewer underclothes
than the woman of a year or two ago,
and those she does wear are less
aggressively self-assertive, finer
daintier, and—alas—more expensive.
The combination in one form or another is the favorite undergarment
and the woman who has worn it finds
It hard to go bark to separate corset covers and drawers or underskirts, with their multiplicity of
waitbands always shrinking out of
place in the laundering and their
troublesome fastenings, writes Florence Fairbanks of New York.
Not that corset covers, separate
drawers and separate underskirts
are not worn. They are, and many
women who need to consider laundering economies will find the separate garments better, since often one
needs changing when another does
not. But the fact remains that the
combination is in high favor, and
that it does away with awkward fulness at the waistline and is far more
trim and neat than are the separate
pieces as a rule.
Along with the combination skirts
and corset covers, chemises have
come slipping back into favor, but
they are modified chemises, making
concession to the law against obtrusive fullness in undergarments.
They are not tight fitting, but they
are shaped somewhat to tne curves
of the body and do not fall from
the top in full folds as they once did.
The material is so soft and sheer
that what little fullness there is to
be disposed of about the waist is not
noticeable under a frock.
The combination corset covers and
skirts, or corset covers and drawers,
if made with a waistband at all, are
so cut that there is but little fullness to shirr into this waistband,
and the princess models in which the
waistband is eliminated entirely are
very popular. These, like the chemises, do not fit closely but follow
the curves of the figure easily.
Nether Gnnnents
in place of the circular drawers,
which, even in the softest lingerie
stuffs have a certain fullness at the
bottom which may be perceived
through one of the extremely narrow
and soft frock skirts, French women
have taken up drawers of narrower
and straighter shape, fastening in
like knickers at the knee or left
open but quite narrow. In many
cases silk tights are worn by fashionable women. To avoid every suggestion of fullness the trimming
upon undergarments has been reduced to a minimum. Frills and
flounces have been altogether abandoned and lace insertion or other
flat trimming alone is used.
Double skirts have been revived,
and the regime of the hobble skirt
and similar atrocities seems to be on
the decline. Perhaps we owe the
double skirt to the bordered fabrics
that have been introduced during the
early part of the season. At any
rate, they can be used advantageously, their colored edges forming parallel rows of decoration at the knees
and ankles.
Double Skirts
Many double skirts are slashed up
at the left side, showing the underskirts, that should be of contrasting
color. Some underskirts are pleated,
while the overskirt is plain, slashed
and edged with fringe, insertion or
headwork.
Double skirts are appearing of the
cloth suits of light weight materials,
such as checks, striped serges and
challls. There is not much fullness
at the hips, a comfortable width at
the bottom, and altogether a sensible
rebound from the extreme narrow
styles of the spring. The straight
line of the silhouette however, is
preserved, as well as the flatness of
the back, usually emphasized by a
loose panel or by a flat sash.
The new jabot and side frills are
so large that tney almost cover the
front of the waist. The new side
frill extends far out over the shoulder, graduating to about two inches
at the bottom, and extends almost
froym shoulder to shoulder. It is of
hand made tucket net, with trimmings of real Mechlin lace, with a
tiny bow of narrow velvet at the
throat and a fold of velvet at the
throat and a fold of velvet at the
top edge of the stock. Another Is
a triple tab jabot attached to (he
stock. The material used is a fine
net with a small embroidered ring
dot, and the tabs are edged with
Valenciennes lace and are of different length. The stock is finished at
the top with a fold of black satin,
a tiny bow of the net being placed
at the throat.
One of the new side frills is made
of wide maline lace attached to an
insertion of hand embroidered net.
A narrow frill of plain net finishes
the othr edge. This frill is attached
to a high stock of embroidered net
edged with black velvet. Tiny black
velvet buttons adorn the central
piece of insertion.
One unusual design is a side frill,
instead of being attached to a
straight piece of insertion, has the
double pleated frill joined to a triangular piece of pleatd handkerchief
linen. The frill Is attached to the
stock collar by means of narrow Valenciennes isertion two inches long.
Whn worn the uppr point of the frill
is pinned at the left shoulder, while
the lower corner is fastened over the
right side, the entire frill curving
from the upper right to the lower
left and suggesting the fichu.
There is not particularly much to
say about the new shapes of hats
displayed by Paris modistes. A new
sailor shape, with rounded crowno
on top and broad brim has lately
made its appearance, trimmed solely
with a five inch bias band of velvet,
neatly affixed on the left side by a
bow and turn-under of velvet. These
hats, generally white with some vivid
color trimming, have a band of straw
to match, the garniture enframing
the brim about a couple of inches
In breadth, and will make pretty
morning and seaside hats, shady and
smart or chic and servlcaeable at the
same time.
For very hot weather, fashionable
women return to the pongee coat.
This year these are made with the
sa.ne round buttons, a large round
or square collar and reverse either
of the ponge itself or else of silk
of some contrasting color.
Woolen flowers on the sheerest
frocks have come into unusual importance. They are circular disks
of crochetei work, gathered Into a
centre and in many sizes. The smallest ones are one inch In diameter
and are used with embroidered stems
on the edges of sashes. Large ones
form patches on the bodice or girdle.
Fringe is the favorite trimming
for chic frocks of changeable silk.
It also finishes the majority of separate sashes.
Boleros are Oriental in style. The
Greek, Byzantine, Egyptian and Persian embroideries are used to simulate the bolero line on many dresses.
Wide elastic belts, woven In all
colors to match the toilet, are all
the rage in Paris. ,

Details of the Arrangements Entered
Into at Conference Regarding
Defense
Tuesday August 1, 1911.
ELECTION i.S CALLED
Sir Wilfrid has decided lo take
an appeal to the people with the
West anything but properly represented. In doing so he seeks to put
the responsibility upon the opposition, which is manifestly unfair. Sir
Wilfrid as leader of the government
is in com nil of the House and the
dissolution must be charged up to
him.
Mr. Borden expressed a readiness
to assist in getting a redistribution
bill through the House but would
not consent to let the reciprocity pact
go through without the will of the
people being tested.
The election now, within three
years since the last election and on
the old distribution of seats, leaves
at least about one half of the West
not represented in the new Parliament.- Had jSir Wilfrid wished to
give them »'e ee franchise he had
but to say-so and the Opposition
would have assisted in seeing the bill
through the House. The government
however, seemed determined to have
an appeal on the old arrangements
of seats and accordingly advantage is
taken of the situation created to >*,3t
to the electorate without redistribution, thus, givirig an unfair representation to the detriment of the West.
EUROPEAN SITUATION
The results in the Moroccan trouble would seem to indicate that again
British diplomacy has shown
itself ready to grapple with
any situation that may arise. The
foreign office, it would appear, had
exact Information as to the whole
chessboard of international politics.
Following the traditions of that office, a bold front was presented just
at the right time and peace has resulted. As a consequence of the
manoeuvre the prestige of the Empire has been Improved throughout
the world while the opposite effect
must follow as far as Germany is
concerned.
During a delicate time in diplomatic circles the world has been
shown, as has been the case so often
before, that Britisii public men can
rise above all party feelings, cast
aside the opportunities for party advantages and unite in securing for
the country its fullest advantages.
The memorandum of the conference between the Canadian and Australian representatives with the British admiralty on the status of the
overseas dominion forces has been
tabled by Sir Wilfrid Lauria at Ottawa.
The main features ot the agreement are that the dominion navies
will be exclusively under the control
of their respective governments, but
that training will be generally uni
form with the navy of the United
Kingdom. Naval stations are set
apart for Canada and Australia. Canada has the North Atlantic and part
of the North Pacific. The Australian
station covers the South Pacific and
extends to the Antarctic circle.
The dominion navy vessels will
carry the white ensign at the stern
and their distinctive flag at tne jack
staff. Detailed provisions are made
for the control of the vessels of the
dominion forces when off their stations in other parts of the Empire
or in foreign ports. In international
affairs colonial officers will be under
the control of the admiralty, and in
time of war, "when the naval service
of a dominion has been put at the
disposal of the Imperial government,
it will form an integral part of the
British fleet."
The Canadian Pacific naval station
will include the waters north of 30
degrees north latitude, and east of
meridian 180.
Accidental Death
In the coroner's inquest held last
night concerning the death, of
George Lichtenauer a verdict was
reached by the jury that his death
was accidental. The funeral of the
unfortunate man took place yesterday under the charge of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, of which he
was a member.

INVESTORS COMING
VANCOUVER—"British capital is
looking with sympathetic interest to
Canada, and especially British Columbia, as a very desirable and profitable field for investment, and British mil'Ions are ready to pour into
our section of the country as soon as
the solidity of the enterprises can
be satisfactorily established to the
investors, but we must safeguard
ourselves against 'wild cat' schemes
that would only close to us the money markets of the old world and thus
retard our hopeful future," was the
pleasing news given out recently by
John Hendry, ex-president of the
Canadian Manpfacturers' Association,
in an Interview. Mr. Hendry, who is
frequently referred to as British Coi
leimbia's most Influential captain of
Industry, and whose rare sagacity
and wonderful business acumen have
made .him a commanding figure In
the affairs of this province and ot
the Dominion, had, perhaps, a better
opportunity than any other Canadian
capitalist to feel the pulse of British
capital while mingling with the leading financiers of London.
"The situation in London, regarding financial exploitations, is most
favorable to Canada, and particularly
British Columbia, and a greater commercial bond between the two countries seems to be assured through
the fact that British financiers are
devoting more serious study and
perusal to all matters tending to enlighten them on topics Canadian, and
Britisii Columbia is looked upon by
them as the most favorable place for
profitable investments, as they realize the wonderful future of our great
northwest and its relative importance to the grain growing regions
lor which i": is practically the only
western outlet," said Mr. Hendry in
discussing the subject. "British capital prefers chiefly commercial opportunities, such as investments in
factories, railroads and all industries
that are contributory to the development, and assure the stability of this
country."

He Repeats Allegations Against the
Government and Certain
Officials
T. R. E. Mclnnes, whose name figured prominently in' the report of
Mr. Justice Murphy on Chinese Immigration and opium smuggling in British Columbia, has made a statement
to an Ottawa paper, replying in detail to the commissioner's findings.
Mr. Mclnnes said in part: "(1)1 say
that the first four statements or findings made by this commissioner in
summing up his report are irrevel-
ant, truckling, malicious and cowardly and In so far as Officer Foster, Gordon Grant, David Lew and
myself are concerned, they are absolutely unwarranted by the evidence.
(2) I say that the Dominion government permitted fraudulent entries
of Chinese to continue without any
attempt at preventing them for at
least two years after its attention had
been drawn thereto. (3) I say that
the Dominion government permitted
fraudulent entries of Chinese to continue without any attempt at preventing them for at least two years
after its attention had been formally
drawn thereto. (3) I say that the
Dominion government deliberately
delayed criminal proceedings aainst
guilty Chinese indicated by its commissioner. Mr. Justice Murphy, for
two months in order to allow them
to escape from justice. (4) 1 say that
If It was to me that Sir Wilfrid Laurier referred in his statement in the
House on Friday when replying to
R. Le. Borden, then Sir Wilfrid Laurier deliberately mis-stated the
racts."

Speaking about Industrial development, Mr. Brutinel stated that
probably before leaving Prince Rupert he will be able to make an
announcement concerning the building of a large manufacturing plant
contemplated by interests closely allied wltn the Prince Rupert Hydro-
Electric Company. In round figures,
Ihis plant will require the expenditure of about $1,000,000, and will

PRINCE! JOHN AND SERPENT
The new steamer Prince John,
bought on the Clyde for the Grand
Trunk Pacific service between Prince
Rupert and the Queen Charlotte Is-
lands to relieve the Prince Albert,
arrived at the coast from Glasgow
after a good passage. The Prince
John left Glasgow on May 16, and
calls were madde for coal at St. Vincent, Punta Arenas and Coronel.
Captain Davis, who brought out
the new steamer, brought the Prince
Rupert from Newcastle-on-Tyne.
Captain McKenzie, who came out as
chief officer, was in command of the
Barcore when the survivors of the
Great Admiral were rescued off Cape
Flattery in the storm in which the
Colnia was lost, her crew being saved
owing to the heroic work of the late
Mrs. Paterson.
Captain Davis and his ship's company brought a sea serpent story.
Man and boy, the ship's company says
it will take its solemn affidavit that
when near Point Reyes, on Sunday
morning last, a whale was seen lashing the sea in evident distress amidst
a big school of thirty or more whales.
When the steamer was brought
abreast the school at a distance of
less than 100 yards they saw a great
neck with a snake's head lifted ten
feet above the water and they saw
the sea serpent with its body wound
around the whale. The stories told
describe the thing as striped with
bands of brown and slaty colors—
and they all say there was not a
drain of anything stronger than tea
on the vessel.
The Prince John Is a fine three-
masted passenger steamer, 185 feet
long, 30 feet beam and 13.3 feet
deep. She is equipped with wireless
telegraphic apparatus.
To the Prince John belongs the
distinction of being the first of the
G. T. P. boats to bear on her stern
the name of Prince Rupert as her
home port. All of the other vessels
of the fleet are soon to change their
port of registry to the new terminal.
Throughout, the John has been fitted
in a manner which is pleasing to the
eye. Everything has worked out to
a nicety and she is just the boat
for her run.
There is a great deal of passenger
accommodation aboard the vessel and
she will be able to handle the travel
on the run ou which the Prince Albert now operates. She^s a three-
masted ship with a length of 185
feet, 30-foot beam and a depth of
13.3 feet. The vessel which was
built by Scott & Sons, Bowling, Eng.,
in 1910, is constructed of steel and
is class 100 Al with a star at Lloyds.
Every provision has been made to
guide against sinking in case of an
accident. She has seven water tight
bulkheads with a double bottom.
The first class accommodation
aboard is excellent with a very neat
and comfortable smoking room done
In fumed oak with leather upholstery,
and a buffet In connection. This is
accessible only from first class quarters. The dining saloon, seating 44,
Is done In mahogany, with crimson
uphostery and draplngs, and It situated on the shelter deck, and attached to it is a large pantry and galley
conveniently laid out and fitted with
al lmodem equipment necessary to
a first class service.
The dining room is reached by a
mahogany stairway leading from the
lounge to the shade deck into a well
proportioned and airy vestibule, also
paneled and decorated. The principal stateroom accommodation is situated on the shelter deck, and consists of eighteen two-berth staterooms
of large size, well ventilated, all having outside windows. These rooms
are furnished with folding lavatories,
spring berths, hair mattresses, and
the standard linens of the company.
Forward of this is a very neat
semi-circular observation room, with
' large plate glass windows, done in
white and gold, furnished with wicker chairs. This room will be the
most attractive feature of the steamer. Above this Is the pilot house,
and texas for the officers' quarters.
She Is propelled bya single screw,
driven by triple expansion engines,
with cylinders of 17, 28 and 45
inches, with a 33-inch stroke. Steam
is supplied by two Scottish multitubular boilers and when at full
speed she can make 14 knots an
hour. She has a gross tonnage of
662 tons and a registered tonnage of
44 6 tons.
In connection with the Prince
John, Captain Nicholson, superintendent of the company, said at Victoria: "The Prince John is quite up
to my expectations and we have secured the right boat for the run.
By purchasing the Prince John we
got a suitable vessel quicker than if
we attempted to build one. She is
modern in every respect and is
strongly built so that she can stand
any kind of weather. This is one
quality which is necessary for all
vessels navigating Hecate Straits. I
am indeed well pleased with the
Prince John."
When the Prince John tied up at
the Victoria wharf anyone would
have thought that she had Just completed a trip from the north, as everything was spic and span. Great
credit is due to the officers who kept
the vessel in such fine shape during
the long passage. These are as follows: Master, Captain Davies; Chief
Oficer McKenzie, Second Officer Mc-
Kernon, i^hief Engineer J. Dunn,
Second Engineer Te Drummond,
Third Engineer L. McKenzie, Wireless Operator F. Cannon and Chief
Steward S. Jackson.
The Prince John is to be overhauled at once and placed or. the Islands
run, relieving the Prince Albert;
which will engage in the service now
carried on by the Henriette. The
bringing of another vessel into the
coasting trade shows that the business between here and northern
ports is Increasing rapidly. The
G. T. P. is keeping pace with the
growth and Its fleet engaging in the
northern business now consists of
five fine vessels.

The World's Outlook is Very Favorable
This Season for Heavy
Harvest.
Canada Has Exceptionally
Promise for the Fall
Harvest
Good
Official reports ot foreign crops re
celved by the department of agriculture at Washington and announced
recently indicate that generally favorable conditions existed abroad
during June.
The condition In Canada all over
most of the Dominion are pronounc
ed flattering; of the 10,500,000 acres
under cultivation this season, only
9,500,000 having been tilled last
year.
In the spring wheat province,
Saskatchewan, the Increase in area
amounted to 1,200,000 acres. Ever
since the seed went into the ground,
the spring wheat Iands have been
saturated by opportune rains, and
with some exceptions favored by forcing culture.
In Europe, winter wheat and rye
on the whole have fully maintained
their former promise. The wheat
crop of the United Kingdom on an
increased area is regarded likely to
furnish an average yield. France,
with diminished area under both
wheat and rye, promises a medium
outturn for the former, and a less
satisfactory of the latter.
Good Spanish Crops
Spain is reported to have exceptional crops, the area officially estimated putting wheat at 157,0000,-
000 bushels, a high mark. The crop
of Germany Is probably not quite up
to the usual standard, and rye is
expei'ted to show a considerable
shortage. The Hungary wheat crop
Is officially estimated at 163,000,000

bushels, and rye at 5,000,000 bushels. In Roumanla and the Balkan
states, the prospects are much better
than in average years.
In Russia, there is much conflict
of expression. The weight of public
opinion seems, however, to be in medium results. In Italy, better yields
than last year are anticipated, but
heavy rains may later show their
effects on the quality. In Argentine, the newly sown wheat, oats and
flax are said, under the Influence of
plentiful moisture, to have germinated well, the areas are believed to
be heavily Increased. Popular opln.
ion puts the surface under wheat
5 to 10 per cent over the 15,5000,000
acres sown last year. The 1910
wheat crop in Chile is reported in
sufficient for home needs, and im
ports are being made from Australia.
Monsoon in Force
The monsoon, the Indispenslble
procuror of a favorable seed time on
unrated soil in Britisii India, broke
in full force In mid-June, and heavy
rains have already fallen over wide
areas. Late reports, however, indicate partial cessation of the rainfall.
Cotton planting is progressing In
some localities of the Empire.
The harvest in progress on the
north cost of Africa is said to promise well in Algeria. In the much less
important producers, Tunis and Morocco, only a small rate outcome is
expected. According to the June
official reports, the yield on the
125,000 acres of wheat in Egypt was
likely to be good in Upper Egypt,
but in Lower Egypt not quite up to
the standard.

FIGHT CONSUMPTION
Typographical Union Have Sanitarium at
Colorado Springs for White
Plague.
How Printers Affected With the
Disease Are Treated in
Tills Home
In connection with the fight
against the great white plague, no
institution is doing more efficient
work than the Typographical Union.
Put of a small beginning they now
have at Colorado Springs one of the
best equipped and most useful Institutions in America. The sanitarium
is affiliated with the home for aged
and helpless printers, which is located in tbe same district.
The hospital building at the Union
Printers' Home is located just south
of the main structure, covering a
space of 50x110 feet, and is three
stories in height. Ten tents were
at first erected near the hospital
building, in 1904, for the use of tuberculosis patients. ihey proved
such a valuable acquisition to the
hospital service in the treatment of
lung trouble that ten more were added in 1907. In shape, the tents are
octagonal with a frame worm as substantial as that of a house, are securely anchored on four sides, and
withstands the most severe winds.
The tents are steaniheated, lighted
by electricity and have a system of
electrical call bells by which the tenters can immediate'y summon a
nurse.
With twenty tents and the hospital
given up to tuberculosis residents,
there was need of a central building.
To supply this want a central building, called the solarium, was erected in 1907. The experimental stage
in oper air treatment for tuberculosis has long since been passed.
Fully 50 per cent of the patients
who have the advantage of "tent
life" and the regenerating rays of
the Colorado sun have recovered
health and strength and have been
enabled to again assume business duties. There are many tent colonies
in Colorado, but few of them compare with the Tuberculosis Sanitarium at the Home.
The laundry and heating plant is
located about ninety feet east of the
main building and hospital, and covers 6,100 square feet. The dimensions of the laundry are 30x59 feet.
Its machinery equipment is ample,
and of the latest design and best
quality. The sterilizing and disinfecting apparatus in use reduces to
a minimum the chances of contagion
through the medium of clothing, etc.,
used by the sick.
To the south of the laundry is the
engine room. The room is large
enough to accommodate two dynamos should the Home install an electric .lighting system. Two 151-horse
power water tube boilers have recently been installed to take the place
of the two 40-horse power boilers
which were originally purchased
when the Home was first established.
The second story contains fifteen
large sleeping rooms with necessaty
lavatory accommodations. These
rooms are used by the male help of
the institution.
The institution has a splendid library of 3,000 volumes, donated by
employing printers. The facilities afforded hy the institution are as complete as money and modern science
can make them and the climate Is
said to be unexcelled
The main building is of white lava

RECIPROCITY NO BENEFIT §
**************************
"A general election in September
and October," is the prediction for
the Old Country of the Hon. T. W.
Cochrane, who was a member of the
last Conservative ministry, on a visit
to Victoria! Mr. Cochrane has for
eighteen years sat In the British
House of Commons, and in a useful
and distinguished career of public
service has acted as Joseph Chamberlain's secretary throughout this
statesman's tenure of office as colonial secretary, and hllmself held office as under secretary for home affairs in the last Conservative government between 1902 and 1906. Mr.
Cochrane is now visiting Victoria
party In his capacity of the world-
famous Nobel Explosives Company
and director of the Canadian Explosives Company, and partly on a pleasure visit of Inspection of the progress
and general condition of the Dominion. He is an ardent imperialist and
one of Canada's most enthusiastic admirers and champions in the House
of Commons.
"We in England cannot see why
Canada should go in for American
reciprocity," he said. "We are not—
as our enemies have said—jealous of
her trade with the United States;
but jealous for her. If the Motherland through Canada would benefit
from reciprocity with the States,
every Unionist and Conservative
would give the campaign his earnest
support. But none of us in England
can see how of where Canada can
hope to benefit. If she holds her
hand, the United States will have
nnyliow to take off the duty on her
lumber and natural resources. Canada will Mien be left free with her
moderate tariff for revenue purposes
unaltered, and will then be in an
unassailable position in which she
will get any advantages that may
accrue from being able to export her
natural products to the United States.
With regard to the political Intentions that are said to be behind the
American agitation in favor of reciprocity, any one after reading Mr.
Champ Clark's speech must, to say
the least, regard it as an unfortunate
slip for such a prominent politician
to have made. He has, it is true,
since protested that it was said 'pour
lire,' but that was after he saw how
seriously his unguarded statements
had been taken."
Asked his opinion on the augment
ed rate of influx of British capital
Mr. Cochrane replied that "If industries are promoted on a sound financial footing, giving a fair prospect of
reasonable returns to the investor,
and regular employment for British
labor, there will be no lack of British capital out here, nor any lack of
the best type of British workmen—
a need which seems to even exceed
that of capital. "I look forward to,"
he continued "to seeing this coun
try become the home of the best type
of old boys from our British public
schools. We know that Canada has
been unfortunate in years past In
having been the dumping ground of
the odd wastes and failures, but there
is, I find now, an increasing number
of the most Intelligent and useful
of our public school men coming out
here; and there can be no finer type
of men found for public service in
Canada than those who are true to
their training In our universities and
public schools."
"No one can put a limit to the
future of British Columbia," added
Mr. Cochrane, with genuine enthus-
ism. "The most roseate hopes for
this island are based on a sound
foundation. I was much struck with
what I saw in the east, but British
Columbia, with Its Incomparable climate and Its vast mineral, farming
and timber resources—promises to
be the home of many millions of the
British race."
FURS FROM FAR AWAY PLACES
It is not generally known that ermine has been the emblem of royalty
almost since royalty began. In Russia, until very recently, its use was
forbidden to those not of royal birth.
As a writer in Everybody's Magazine points out, ermine is nothing
more than the weasel or common
stoat in its northern coat, for, like
other arctic and subarctic animals,
the weasel turns white in winter in
order that it may be as inconspicuous as possible in its environment of
ice and snow. Yet so abnormally
keen of sight are the Canadian and
Siberian trappers that they can distinguish at almost incredible distances the little black tip of the
ermine's tail as it whisks across the
dazzling plains.
It Is very shy, is the ermine, and
special snares must be devised by
the trapper to avoid injuring the
delicate skin. Even the smallest of

the steel traps are too heavy for
such tiny animals as there, and here
It is that the trapper's fertility of
resource is most strikingly displayed.
Smearing a little grease on his hunting knife, he lays it across the succession of dots and dashes that show
him that an ermine has passed that
way. Along conies the tiny white
form on its erratic course again. The
grease appeals to it, and it begins
to lick the knife blade, and its tiny
tongue is instantly frozen to the
steel as though as with glue. The
knife being too heavy for the little
animal to carry off it can only wait
until the trapper comes upon his
lady has a muff of snowy unmarred
skins.
So difficult to obtain has sea otter
become that Russian sable, long a
synonym for-all that Is expensive and
luxurious, Is now almost pleblan In
comparison, and In all the long list
of furs none is so redolent of romance. When the Biirvlvors of Vltis
Bering's ill-fated expedition found
their way back to Siberian shores
with a new fur that was neither
heaver nor otter, but larger than
either and of a finer sheen than
sable, and sold the pelts to Chinese
merchants for 500 rubles each, the
effect was as startling as the discovery of a gold mine. The new fur
was sea otter, as peculiar to the
Pacific as the seal, and destined to
lead Russian, Cossack and Siberian
adventurers in a wild stampede to the
Aleutians.
The slaughter of sea otter become
so Indiscriminate and relentless that
the annual catch has dwindled from
150,000 to scarce 400 skins a year.
So great was the demand among Chinese nobles and Chinese mandarins
for this rare fur, so fabulous are the
prices they are willing to pay, that
scarce fourscore skins reach the United States each year. In the days
when the sea otter were plentiful
in calm weather, as they showed
their heads above the surface of the

REVIEW OF FLEET
How the British Fighting Force Looked
at the Coronation
Ceremonies.
The Navy Showed Its Terrific Powers and Readiness for
Action
In view of the "war scare" that
has prevailed for a week past the
question of the readiness of tlie British naval force has been the subject
of a good deal of speculation. The
following, taken from the Daily
Mail, dealing with the review held at
the time of the king's coronation
will be interesting reading:
The day of the Naval Review came
dark with clouds and gloom, with
falling rain; it seemed as if onet
day at least of the great coronation
cycle of days the weather was about
to misbehave. A naval review to an
accompaniment of splashing rain!
There arose to the alarmed imagination the vison of grey ships seen
athwart slanting showers, on a grey
sea and under grey skies—a very
slate-colored symphony. But the
gracious loyalty of nature did not
fail. There was rain elsewhere over
nearly all England, but as the train
ran southwards in the early morning
the ekies cleared, the winds grew
soft, the sun broke out on green
fields and tangled Hedgerows. And
when the Soudan, carrying the press
representatives, moved along the
pleasant Hampshire coast towards
the scene of the coming review a
sapphire sky bent over the Solent,
weather."
Presently the sea before us is
pricked with a tangle of sail-less
masts and dark funnels that stretch
in a ^dwindling perspective to the
horizon. It Is the fleet, of Ryde.
Within an area of six miles by two
are packed 167 ships of war, ranging from Dreadnoughts to torpedo
boats, to say nothing of eighteen
warships under foreign flags. The
tangle of masts and funnels grows
clearer as we approach; it begins to
take structure. There is a plan be-
neat the tangle. The sea giants are
distributed in parallel lines forming
great streets of slate-colored warships. This is the greatest aggregate of fighting ships—and of ships
the most terrific in fighting strength
-—which has ever in recorded history
been concentrated on one little patch
of the sea.
As the fleet is reached the eye is
first caught and held by the lines
of torpedo boats and destroyers to
port. Some touch of sea mist, or
perhaps the tint of the sea on which
they lay, makes them look, not grey,
but blasck; and, with their dwarfed
funnels, low freeboard, and length
all out of proportion to their width,
they give a curious sense of speed.
And it Is speed of a menacing quality, as of a trusting spear. They
are sea-gnats, but what a stinging
power they have! The smallest of
them could disable a Dreadnought
at a stroke. The suggest the lance
de fer of Eastern forests. Among
those long, lean, black silhouettes
are the two fastest ships in the
world, the Swift, whicb hides within her slender flanks 30,000-horse
power of driving force, and the microscopic Tartar, which, with not quite
half the horse power of the Swift,
can yet beat her in speed, and has
traveled nearly thirty-six knots In
an hour. And she has a displacement of only 8"rt tons.
The New Warships
Rut now the eye Is caught by the
lung streets of grey ships to star-
hoard, nritlsh warships have Improved beyond all Imagination In
fighting power since Trafalgar, but
Ihey have lost mournfully in artistic
appearance. The Victory—Nelson's
flagship—as she lies in Portsmouth
harbor Is still nothing less than majestic in look, with her high and
noble stem, her flowing lines, her
vast freeboard. When at sea, leaning to the gale, with her tall masts,
her triple pyramids of white sails,
her triple tiers of threatening guns,
she must have been a sight to set a
poet singing. A line of the three-
dei'kers In 1805 in a fresh breeze
was certainly a gallant sight. But
these streets of Ironclads off Spit
head would, as far as outer aspect
Is concerned, never inspire an artist
or a poet. As symbols of power they
are terrific, but as works of art they
are distressing. They are grey, squat,
ugly.
But our ship Is running on, and
the great anchored hulls are slipping
least. On their funnels are tiny
patches and lines of white, the syllables or marine cypher, Intelligible
to the instructed eye. The first are
protected cruisers such as the La-
toiia, the Thetis; then a pair of
scouts, the Pathfinder and the Skirm
isher, with hulls plainly built for
speed. Now come heavier ships, the
Victorious, the Caesar,, the Mars, battleships of 14,000 tons. There are
sea-giants now on both sides; the
Irresistible of 15,000 tons, the Bulwark, the Albemarle. A procession
of great names—names in whose syllables are the eaches of famous sea
battles—runs on either hand: the
Venerable, the Implacable, the Agea
m-innon, the Bellerophon, the Vanguard. As name after name is read
on each ship, each brings up from
the cells of memory stories of great
perils dared and of great feats
achieved. And here are the Dreadnoughts—ships of a. new type in
war. Any one of them, as far as
fighting power is concerned, could
have "taken on" both the fleets that
contended at Trafalgar, have sailed
through them without suffering
harm, and overtaken and sunk every
ship in the two fleets at pleasure.
At 2 o'clock a faint pulse of sound
is heard fro mthe northeast. , Is It
"Nelson's gun" of the Victory signalling the departure of the king? If
so, was it one of the actual guns
of Trafalgar that fired that shot, to
be answered later by the thunders of
Spithead? It would surely be fitting
that when the chief of the greatest
naval power in the world, fresh from
his coronation, comes to review the
mightiest assemblage of warships history has ever seen, he should be welcomed by a gun from the most famous ship that ever floated — the
Victory, in which Nelson led down
to the attack on the Franco-Spanish
feet at Trafalgar. And on Saturday
let us hope it was one of the Trafalgar guns that fired that one signalling shot. There would be something better than an artistic continuity betwixt the flash of Nelson s gun
in the Victory on Saturday and the
deep-voiced thunder of the long grey
streets of Ironclads which answered it.
Dressing the Ships "*
Presently a shot Is fired from the
flagship—a signal for the fleet to
dress. In a moment, and on every
side—east, west, north, and south—
long lines of flags are rising in the
air. Above each grey hull is a sort
of flattened triangle of flags—a triangle with its apex truncated. The
very sky seems full of lags, and the
slate-colored, not to say sad-colored
fleet grows suddenly gay. Then, too,
triple bars of red are suddenly
drawn across each grey hull. They
are the mines on the bridges and the
shelter decks "at attention." A line
of seamen becomes visible, a sort of
human frieze defining the contour of
each ship. In every direction every
ship upan which the eye falls offers
that same spectacle—red lines on the
bridges and a living palisade of seamen outlining the long decks. The
fleet Is tsanding "at attention" for
the coming of its king.
There is a Ion gpause, but at last
the royal yacht is in sight. Her tall
masts and gilt-decorated hull, her
bright, stone-colored funnels show
with startling effect across the landscape of grey ships. Four torpedo
boats—long, and lean, and dark, In
a single line ahead—come first; the
Trinity House yacht follows, then
comes the Victoria and Albert. On
her foremast flies an admiral's flag,
on her nilzzen the ensign, and high
aloft on her mainmast floats the
Royal Standard. The Alexandra follows the royal yacht, the Fire Queen
conies next. The signal Is given, and
te guns begin to speak. From each
grey hull there comes a jet of white
smoke with a spear-point of bright
flame in it; a moment later is a blast
of sound. Pulse of smoke, sudden
gleam of white fire, roll of thunder
—the fleet is welcoming the king";
and the roar of guns on every side
deepens til] the sound Is that of some
great battle. And above the smoke
still move the tall masts of the stately yacht, the Royal Slandnrd floating
from tbe mainmast.
Presently the roar of the guns
cease, hut still the cluster of yachts
move on. King George himself stood
on the bridge. He was a somewhat
solitary figure In an admiral's uniform, with le blue ribbon of the
Garter ncrss the breast. A few steps
In the rear was a little cluster of
figures. From te excursion boats
and men-of-war again and again the
cheers rolled up, and the king answered with lifted hand In courteous
salute. At times the ensign of the
royal yacht was dipped.
Now the inspection Is completed,
and the Victoria and Albert drops
anchor betwixt the French ship Dan-
ton and the ship carrying the Chilian flag. The marines and seamen
throughout the fleet were "dismissed," and a long pause followed. A
tiny squadron of boats gathered
round the royal yacht; the flag officers of the fleet were being received
by his masjesty. The picket boats of
tlie men-of-war were meanwhile keeping the lines clear of intruders, and
It was amusing to watch swift men-
of-war boats "shepherd" and turn
back, like so many sheep dogs, the
yachts, or motor boats,, or excursion
steamers that tried to cross the lines.
At a little before 6 o'clock the
fleet was again standing at attention.
The bars of red color, the living
frieze along the dacks again made
their appearance. The royal yachts
are maving again; the ships break
Into salute; and, with the pursuing
thunder of the guns, the Victoria
and Albert, with the Royal Standard
still flying from her mainmast, disappears. Tne great review of 1911
is over.
The Ships lleyond the Hoi-izon
Great, majestic, and even overpowering in the scale of Its fighting
strength seemed the ieet at Spithead on Saturday. Yet It does not,
of course, represent the true sea
strength of the Empire. There are
546 pennants In her fleet, and only
167 ships in Southampton waters.
While the royal yacht was steaming
through the great streets of Dreadnoughts there were British ships policing ah the seas of the planet elsewhere, keeping guard in the Mediterranean, of the Cape, through the vast
spaces of the Pacific, and In cyclone
whipped Chinese waters.
Let us only imagine another Nelson—a twentieth-century Nelson—
with his genius for battle, his fierceness in pursuit, his swiftness and
terror in attack, and his magic to
inspire the men under his flag, put
in command of the 167 ships, from
Dreadnoughts to submarines, at
Southampton. There Is nothing
afloat or likely to be afloat that
could resist such a force, under such
a leadership. And the British race
has not seen its last Nelson yet. It
will find a fit leader always for a
great emergency.
o
DOOMED TO FAIL
Japanese Antartic Expedition Was Not
Properly Equipped for the
Arduous Task,
Only Meagre Details of the Trip Are
Available but They Indicate
Failure
Count Okuma is jubilant, without
apparently very substantial cause,
over the achievement of Lieutenant
Shirase in his Antarctic expedition.
He indulges in comparisons between
Lieutenant Shirase and Lieutenant
Shackleton and characterizes as a
notable fjat the attainment of 74 de
grees soutli in the short space of
100 days. In the count's opinion,
when after a rest at Sydney, Lieutenant Shirase starts out afresh In
September he will give the German
and American expeditions a run for
Ltheir money.
Sydney is regarded a better place
to sojourn than Wellington, inasmuch as it is the seat of a Japanese
consulate and of many important
shipping firms, including the Nippon
Yusen Kaisha, that can extend help
to the party.
The auxiliary society which is backing up the expedition here has already borrowed 17,000 yen ($8,500)
and forwarded the same to Shirase,
and asks for an additional 50,000
yen ($25,000). Count Okuma is confident that if the government still
declines to assist he will have no
difficulty in raising the balance required.
Later reports concerning the Kain-
an's movements state that she reached Coulman Island 73 south latitude,
170 east longitude, on March 14, but
was compelled to return as she was
in danger of being frozen In, Coulman Island lies to the eaBt of South
Victoria Land and Is well within the
confines of the Ross Sea. The telegram states Hint after spending a few
days amid the pack ice the vessel
had to return.
Lieutenant Shirase "greatly regrets" that on account of the late
start lie could not land, but he holds
the "firm conviction" that his vessel
Is fitted for navigation in the Antarctic regions when the sea Is Ice
free.
Failure Was Certain
Not all the Japanese newspapers
join in Count Okuma's enthusiasm.
While at the outset there was a general determination to make Lieutenant Shirase a popular hero, It is now
pointed out by leading journals that
from the inception of this much heralded expedition it was doomed to
failure because of the paucity of
equipment and the equal paucity of
experience of those concerned.
It is now admitted by some of
those who have contributed to the
support of the enuterprise that not
only Is the Kalnan Maru unfitted for
the Arctic seas but those forming
the expedition had practically no
equipment for the undertaking save
enthusiasm.
In one of his telegrams Lieutenant
Shirase speaks of the death of most
of his dogs "from lack of exercise."
"Lack of exercise does not kill
dogs. What has killed them has
evidently been terrible suffering and
the absence of that care and attention which they might have received
from more experienced men In a
similar situation. And from the
same causes the fate that has overtaken these dogs may easily overtake the men when once they land
on the Antarctic continent."
The woeful lack of proper equipment was at the time of the organization of the expedition pointed out
by foreigners having knowledge of
conditions, but these words of warn-
ng were regarded as only unfriendly
and were In consequence unheeded
by those who insisted upon contributing their mites to the support of
what seems to be a folorn hope.
."Meagre Details of Cruise
.Meagre details of the cruise of the
Kainan Maru are telegraphed to
Japanese papers by Hielr Sydney correspondents and are singularly deficient in features of human interest.
The Kainan Maru left New Zealand on February 11, heading for
latitude 78 degrees south, where It
was proposed to effect a landing.
When she reached Ross Sea she encountered unusually stormy weather;
mountainous billows described as
forty feet in height breaking over
her decks continuously. Happily she
proved herself seaworthy. At the
end of February Icebergs were sighted for the first time and the spectacle seems to have greatly Impressed
the Japanese, although their admiration was appreciably tempered by the
constant danger of collision with
these floating masses.
A close watch was kept day and
night, but the cold was so intense
that the men on duty had to be relieved every hour. On March 1 the
sea again became rough, and thus
the danger of contact with the ice
was intensified. Both sails and tne
schooner's auxiliary engines were
called into requisition, and, thanks to
a combination of luck and good management, no untoward accident
occurred.
On March 6, when the schooner
was in east longitude 168 degrees
40 minutes and south latitude 70
degrees, 41 minutes, the mountain
range of South Victoria Land were
detected in the distance for the first
time and were hailed with joy by
the entire crew, loud cheers resounding throughout the vessel. At this
junction the compass got out of order
and failed to show the direction, so
that Captain Nomura had to rely
upon the heavenly bodies' for guidance. ,
The cold grew more and more Intense, fine powdered snow covering
the schooner's decks and riggings.
In the circumstances It was realized
that It would be impossible to reach
the proposed objective of 78 degrees
south, and it was decided instead to
steer for latitude 75. On March 9
the crew had another anxious time
fighting with icebergs, which fairly
laid siege to the vessel and checked
her progrss.

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