Polity of Commissioners Against Two Licenses in One Name Results In Withdrawal of Application At the sitting of the license commissioners on Friday afternoon it was made evident that the board is not in favor of one man holding more than one license, even though the licenses so held are of different characters. As a result of this (dereislon being reached C. ,7. Maynard had to decide between a bottle license or a wholesale one. He chose the former. There were present at the meeting the full board, Mayor Manson, Alderman Smith and Commissioner Merryfield. The minutes of the previous meeting were amended in part by the striking out of some of the remarks made by Aid. Hilditch, who sat as chairman at the last meeting, VV. E. Fisher, acting for Austin Brown, brought up the question of the latter's application for a bottle license. He wished to know if the license was refused on the ground that the statutory declaration was not made in writing. If it were he thought it might be reconsidered, as there was nothing obligatory as to its being in writing. The board ruled that the application had been refused and It could not come up again. On the application of S. F. MacDonald for a whilesaie license, Commissioner Smith wanted assurance that the business would be run by the applicant. He did not favor the 1'lan of these licenses being granted and then being transferred to others. This met the views of the board, and as Mr. Fisher, tlie solicitor for Mr. MacDonald, could not give the assurance sought, the application was withdrawn. The application for a renewal of the license of Alex. Prudhomme of the Savoy Hotel wns next brought up. His worship said that with clause in the bylaw suspended which required a formal notice as to a renewal of a licence there was no need of the hoard taking any action in the case. The clerk could issue the renewal as a matter of course. He suggested that the chief of police might be heard as to whether there were any complaints against the house. _ Chief Vickers said there were none. His worship said the clerk could issue the renewal. The renewal of the bottle licences then came up for consideration. His worship said that it appeared that Mr. Maynard held in addition to this bottle license a wholesale license. He had received information that the other bottle license issued by the board was really being or about to be operated in conjunction with this one. There were, in fact, two bottle licenses to be operated together in different establishments. This was an objectionable way to have their licenses and he thought they should be run entirely separate. They were in the same shape as Mr. Prudhomme with respect to renewal. The board did not require to take any action, the clerk being at liberty to renew them. Addressing himself to Mr. Carss, who appeared as counsel for Mr. Maynard, his worship said that at the expiration of the next six months they might have to face a difficulty. The1 principle of holding two licenses wai bad. He felt that his client should be obliged to decide to drop one of the licenses, either the wholesale or the bottle license. Mr. Carss said he did not know of these bottle licenses being issued as a partnership. While the two applicants were friends and assisted each other in the preparing of the petition he knew they were not associated in the business. It was foreign to him that there was any partner ship. Mr. Carss did not think there was anything to prevent a wholesale license being held by the same per son as a bottle license. His worship thought it was an objectionable way of having the license. .. - iwu Commissioner Smith felt, In view of this attitude by his worship thai the board might decide to grant only- one license to any holder. A motion by Commissioner Smith along this line carried. Mr. Carss asked leave to consult with his client, who, after consultation agreed to drop the wholesale license. The application for a renewal of Maynard's wholesale license was then reconsidered, it being stated by the clerk in reply to a question that while the license had been ordered renewed it had never been issued. Mr. Carss asked leave to withdraw the application for a renewal of the wholesale license, which was granted. His worship, addressing Mr, Carss relative to tlie bottle license, said that there had been some doubt hitherto is to whether a bottle license was a retail license within the meaning of the act. The point was now up before the courts. If it should be decided that a bottle license was a retail license within the meaning of the Act then the holders of these bottle licenses should be prepared to be the first to be dropped should it be found advisable to lessen the number of licenses within the city. As to the two parties being interested together in. both licenses, he warned Mr. Carss that he should be in a position to give information at the next sitting as to there being two separate licenses in every sense of the word. If he is not able to do (Continued on Page Eight) o DAY LABOR FIGURES Reports Presented to Council Show That Money Has Been Saved. Strets Cost Less Under the Public Works Department Than by Tenders Submitted A report was presented before the council last evening which showed a gratifying condition in connection with the public works department in the city. His worship, upon the presentation of the report, said he thought Supperintendent MacNeil was to be congratulatd upon the success with which he was conducting the department. The report was in connection with work done ou Seventh avenue, where a number of residents, after calling for the plank roadway and the nee essary steps being taken to provide it, petitioned against the work proceeding unless it were done by awarding it to a private contractor. The work was continued under the day labor system and last evening the engineer's report was presented as to cost, The lowest tender for the work would have entailed $586.81. The work was done by the city workmen for $502.90, making a saving of over $80 to the residents. Aid. Hilditch, upon the presentation of the report, called attention to the fact that the lowest tender in this case was the lowest that had ever been received by the city, which made the figures all the more gratifying from tbe day labor standpoint. Another report was presented by the city engineer relative to the grading being done by the city between Lynch's and the Knox Hotel. Under the lowest tender the work so far would have cost $2 411.92. It was being done by the day labor system and has cost so far only $2,071.74, making a saving of $340.- 18 to the city. . o S.MALI, DKItTS COURT Olty Solicitor Reports U]K>ii Necessary Steps to He Taken » the Before the council last evening, a report was read from the city solicitor, Fred Peters, K. C, dealing with the question of a small debts court here. He showed how the court was usually constituted. Either the police magistrate or Some one else was appointed for the purpose and while the aim is to provide a cheap means of collecting small debts yet by taking advantage ot the power conferred upon the county court judge the process of collecting could be done inexpensively if a lawyer were not employed. Aid. Clayton thought the matter might be more fully looked into, which will be done later. o Thomas Hysllp has applied for the position of engineer of the street roller and Frank Deny wants the post of engineer on the rock crusher LOCATING SMELTER WORKS IN THE NORTH ADVANCED WORK ON SCHOOL BUILDING BLOCKS Mr. Yolen Williams Representing the Granby Company is Making an Examination Into the Whole of the Mineral Area Which May be Tributary to the Reduction Plant Which His Company is to Erect in This Territory. William .lolen Wil'ianis, consulting engineer of the Granby smelter, is spending a few months in the northern part of this province and in Alaska and the Yukon investigating the mining outlook for his company. His visit here is a promise of greater developments on the part of the company he represents. Mr, Willias has, in company with other officials of the company, examined the mineral deposits at Hidden Creek and Alice Arm. They also have visited Stewart and while there went up to the mines and saw what the prosperties had to offer in the way of prospective producers. Mr. Williams will leave here for Prince of Wales Island on the first steamer and intends then to proceed to White lorse and Conrad City to see what those centres have to offer. It is possible also that he will pay a visit to Hazelton and that district before he is finished with his work and may also go to the Queen Charlottes or any other points nearby where there is any prospect of ore being produced in quantity. Mr. Williams explains that his mission is one of seeking exact information relative to the territory which may come within the radius of the smelter which his company has in view. Asked if he was seeking to purchase properties, Mr. Williams said he was prepared to buy if he saw anything which appealed to him as a good proposition at the price offered. He sought, however, to get exact information as to the mining wealth of the north before the plans of the company were formed for the smelter works. The character of the ore to be treated is being studied so as to adapt the works to the supply. He confirms the statement, made by Mr. Sylvester, made to the Journal some days ago, to the effect that tlie location of the smelter was not yet decided. While the company owns the Hidden Creek mines and have an immense body of re there the whole proposition of supply from all points is being looked into. Stewart will be considered and also any other points that have attractions from the standpoint of business. Accompanying Mr. Williams on his visit here is Mr. Newton, who is in charge of the drilling work at the Hidden Creek mine. The property is heing fully developed by the company. Mr. Sylvester and other officials of the Granby who have been to Goose Bay and Stewart have gone south after examining into the siua- tion. A conversation with Mr, Williams leads to the impression that the Granby company has in view immense plans for this northern country. There is abundance of ore which is easily treated and the supplies from the different points work well together. It is probable at first that the works will reduce the ore to matte which will be shipped to the refinery. Later it may become advisable to complete the whole process on the ground where the smelter is located. The indications point to a town of probably 3,000 or 4,000 people being provided for at Goose Bay if the works are located there, as there must be the double staffs for the smelter and for the mines at the one place. This population would not naturally be reached at once as the work of construction will take some little time. Mr. Williams is well pleased with ttuj, outlook in the north. He admits that the ground has never really been gone over yet. It is just beginning. The riches of the northern part of the province are quite the equal of the southern portion, he thinks, and rich returns should follow the opening up of the districts, Trustees Request Names of Those Who Have Passed tlie Entrance Who Will Attend Next Year The school trustees are anxious that all pupils who have passed the High School entrance examination shall be given an opportunity to continue their studies in the school here, although there is at present little prospect that a high school room can be opened. Another course seems to present itself, which is the opening of what Is known as a superior school, here, which allows for advanced work being taken up by the principal Tbe trustees are desirous of having all the information possible at an early date so as to take the course which seems best. The department at Victoria, may have to be communicated with in the matter and in order to have the whole in proper shape to deal with intelligently a request is made by the chairman of the board, D. G. Stewart, that the names of all pupils who have passed tlie entrance either here or elsewhere and who would attend and take the advanced work next term be given the board. This may be done by communicating with the principal, Mr. Hunter, or the secretary of the board, W. D. Vance, city hall, or by informing any member of the trustee board, D. G. Stewart, L. V. Bennett or O. H. Nelson. TEMPORARY WATER City Council Grappling With the Question of Preserving a Supply During Dry Weather. . .

Douglas Is Taken to Task for Insinuation as to Frame Up At the council board last evening the question of Chinese laundries was brought up, when the members of the council present all expressed disapproval of tbe Mongolians and a readiness to do whatever could be done to favor the local white laundry. The subject was introduced by Aid. Douglas whose remarks in connection with it showed that he has been jealously guarding It in order that he might have all the kudos that were to come from its introduction. He seemed to be afraid that some cider might go elsewhere and was prepared to lead in this instance rather than play the role of corroborating the statements of his prototype, Aid. Newton. Aid. Douglas raised a complaint that the Chinamen were going about gathering clothes on Sunday. This interfered with the Pioneer laundry, which employed white labor. He did not think It was fair to white labor and something should be done. Mayor Manson suggested that later, under the head of motions, Aid. Douglas might bring In a motion if he saw fit dealing with the subject and then It would be properly before the council. The question of procedure being introduced, Aid. Douglas excused himself for not giving notice of mo Hon in this matter because he was afraid of some "frame up." "At one time," he said, "1 couldn't get in on this council. Things are looking different now." His worship at once checked Aid Meeting This Evening to Arrange Schedule and other Important Natters. Grat Interest Being Taken Among the Young Men of the City A meeting of those interested in tlie formation of an indoor baseball league will be held this evening at 7:30 in the police court. Alderman George Kerr will preside and it is urgently requested that all delegates be on hand punctually. It is believed there will be at least six teams entering and consequently there will be a large number of games to be played. One of the most important items is the appointment of umpires and care should he exercised to see that they are well qualified lor the position. Some little opposition has been anounced with regard to the signing up of 12 players leach team being allowed that number), which, it Is claimed, would work a hardship on some of the teams, it is earnestly hoped that the game will be kept strictly amateur.

At the meeting of the city council last evening the figures for the putting in of an auxiliary water supply from Morse Creek to meet, the demand of the dry summer and probably a part of the winter were considered. The figures were submitted by the city engineer and showed tne following: Underwriters pump — capacity 500 gal. per min. with valve fittings ....$1,104.00 Erecting pump and boiler. . 518.00 Laying section pipe and connecting pump with proposed 12 in. main at corner of Eleventh street and Second avenue- .... 2,346.84 Shop value 167.20 Repairs to dams 450.00 Second avenue between Fifth and Sixth streets will be further improved by the. addition of two substantial blocks which are to be put up by the Westholme Lumber Company. These are on the lots owned by Clift Tod and which have been leased by the Westholme Lumber Company. The lots have been cleaned of rock and work wil begin on Ihe buildings at once. Within 60 days Mr. Albert, the local manager of the Westholme Lumber Company, will have the premises ready for occupation. These are each double lots, on either side of the premises occupied by J. Fl. Rogers, ,1. ii. Kugler and the Continental Trust Company. They will be substantially built in accordance with plans prepared by W. L. Baker. They will contain quarters for stores witli office apartments above. On the lots nearest Sitxh street there will be equipped a vaudeville theatre. It is said that Pantages will take a lease and occupy the theatre, putting the house on the regular circuit of that company. in conjunction with other property owners in the vicinity the Westholme Lumber Company asked the council to give sewerage connection with the building to be erected on Second avenue. David H. Hays >ias commenced work on his new block on the corner of Second avenue and Second street. The foundation is now being put in. The buildings on Second avenue that were helow the new grade line have all bepn raised to the proper level now and are ady for the completion of the fii ing and the construction of the sidewalk.

It was pointed out that while $5,000 was a large sum of money to expend on an equipment that was only temporary yet it seemed necessary to do it. Last evening many of the members of the Presbyterian congregation gathered at the old church building on (lie G. T. P. reserve to bid adieus to the structure that had been associated with the arlist history of the church in this city. The place was raxed to the ground by friendly hands as the first steps toward making way for a more pretentious building. Many of the ladies of the congregation were present to see the work done. The new church will be put up on the lots purchased on Fourth avenue. It will be much more pre- tentious than the old one but will be a temporary church also. o o- Ilnst Nuisance Aid.

The public will be required to use water just as sparingly as possible during the dry weather so as not to endanger the supply. There will be steps taken also to cut off all waste wherever possible. The G.T.P. will be asked to co-operate In Ihis. It was pointed onl in the latter connection that while the company die try to avoid the use of any more water than was necessary Quit there was careless work by visiting boats, which left the water .running after using tbe supply.

History of Hie Siege of Port Arthur Is Recalled General Nogl is a type of his country—a grim old warrior, silent, sombre passionate, This was my Impression when I first met him in the trenches before Port Arthur, wriits William .Maxwell in the Overseas Mail. I bad come from General Ku- roki's army after the battle of Sha-ho and did not look for a cordial welcome. But. the grip of General Xogi's hand and the message he gave me to send to England reassured me, and before the siege ended I found under the coat of mail a profoundly sympathetic and kindly nature. Every line of his spare figure and dark face, every hair of his grizzly beard, stands for strength and energy and resolute will. That is one side of General Nogi's character, and it is graven in fire and blood on the forts of Port Arthur. There is another side. When General Xogi grasps your hand and holds it fast the stern warrior vanishes and you are in the presence of a courtly soldier whose eye beams benevolence— a frank cordial, human man, toward whom you are instantly drawn as to an old comrade. On the night before the surrender of Port Arthur the handful of British and American correspondents invited the members of General Xogi's staff to celebrate the new year. We dined in a cavern dug out of the side of a hill, over which rolled the thunder of the guns, and were drinking each other's health when my Jap- States in Italy and have their testimony taken in their own houses. Counsel for the defence at once objected, saying that in 1S50 all ee- i lesiastical privileges had been abolished, and that churchmen of whatever rank were to be treated exactly as ordinary citizens, and dented that cardinals had the right to call themselves officials of the Italian state. He added that cardinals were not even among the number of those distinguished citizens from whose ranks senators of the kingdom may he chosen, and though in documents preparing the Great Law of Guarantee, eral character will prove wholly justified. "And in thus finding work for our applicants, we pledge ourselves only to send them to posts we have investigated and can guarantee reliable and offering adequate remuneration." The officers of the British Columbia branch are: President, Mrs. William .Murray; first vice president, Mrs. H. G. Ross; second vice president, Mrs. Wade; committee, Mrs. E. P. Davies, Mrs. Enthoven, Mrs. Flint, Mrs. John Hope, Mrs. .1. C. Keith, Mrs. Lefevre, .Mrs. Marpole, WATER NOTICR which regulates the relations between .Mrs. F. J. Proctor; extra advisory the Church and State in Italy, the cardinals were spoken of as equivalent to princes, in the documents itself there were no words attributing this title to them, nor. indded, had the Law of Guarantee ever been accepted by the Papacy. Even the famous decree of 1S68, which gave the cardinals precedence over the Knights of the Order of the Annunzlata, did not mention cardinals among the great officials of State, and in any case this decree simply regulated ceremonial, and had nothing to do with judicial procedure. The defendant Verdesi's advocate reminded the court that if the cardinals were treated as great officials of State in this case it deprived the accused of two legal guarantees of hearing what was said ahout him and of contradicting the evidence if he wished, which he could not do, not being present at the examination. Counsel for the crown, in reply, recalled that in 1879 General Ca- drona, who commanded the soldiers who took Rome, ordered the troops to render the same honors to cardinals as though they were princes of the blood, and cited several precedents for cardinals having been considered great officials of the State by the tribunals of Rome. After other advocates had argued on both sides, the court retired for nearly two hours in order to consider the omiiiittee, Mr. Marpole, Mr. William Murray; secretary, Miss Dorothy Davis; assistant secretary Miss Elsie Dodwell. anese interpreter whispered in my j question, and on its return the presi- ear the startling words—"I have just seen a Cossack with a white flag. I think Port Arthur is going to surrender. " I asked the chief of staff if i might send this news to England. "Wait till tomorrow," he said, with a smile that left no hope of persuasion. All night long the hills shook with the explosions of ammunition, for the Russians were destroying their ships and stores, and the sky was aflame. At dawn I found General Nogi marshalling his war-worn soldiers and bis heavy guns, and sending them north to join the the plain of Mukden. The True' Hen dent of the court read a long judgment, the gist of which was that it was not necessary to be a public official in order to enjoy the prerogatives of that position, and that he considered that the decree of 1868 might be taken as an interpretation of the law, and that, therefore, he ordered that the evidence of Cardinals Respighi and Martinellt should be heard in their own homes without the presence of the other parties to the suit. This not very important question is interesting as showing how anom- armies on j alous and difficult is the position j between the two authorities which I have their seat In the Eternal City; When I saw General Xogi again he I it is also an example of the desire was a changed man.

He Shows That There Was Foundation for the Attacks Made Apropos the recent utterances ot the Victoria Times to the business enterpries of the Fort Fraser Land Company, i. connection with which there appears to have been built up an edifice of erroneous conclusions upon a foundation of unreal "facts," there are one or two a'legatiotis advanced concerning which the Times is very much at sea, says the Col- onist. One of these statements is to the effect that the government, accepted applications for lands subsequently acquired by tbe Fort Fraser' Land Company as for second class lands, and ai the second clas lands' price, these lands being afterwards, offered for sale as first class, and so described in the company's prospectus. In reply to this statement the minister of lands, lion. Wiliani R. Ross, on being interviewed by the Colonist, I said that "all government lands when sold, as in these instances, are disposed of subject to classification, the government as a rule being una hie to ascertain when applications are' received how much of the land applied for is second class and leeewl much first class. This cannot be elee- termined until surveys are properly completed, and therefore the prices cannot be fixed as a general tiling when dealing with the applications.! The lands in which tlie Fort Fraser Land Company appears to be concerned have not as yet been Burveyed, with the exception of one sumII piece, and all must therefore be guess work as to the price which will he. demanded for them until such surveys are made. "Neither of the orders in council referred to hy the Times affeeie.el tbe purchase price of the lands in question. The first order in council, approved April 3, 1911, recited 'lhat these prices shall apply to all lands with respect to wnich the application to purchase is given favorable consideration after the date of the approval of this minute,' and as tbe purchasers of all the parcels in question were given favorable consideration long prior to April 3, 1911. Il Is obvious that they could not be held to be governed by the order in council in question. As the lands were not affected by this order in council they could not have been affected by the subsequent order in council of May 11, 1911, because this order in council was a modification of the first one, and applied only to lands which were Included in the first one." Baseless Accusation The Times has also said that "ii has been suggested to us that the first payment of fifty cents per acre was made by cheques, and that these, cheques had never been presented to the respective banks for payment." Referring to this, Hon. Mr. Ross pointed out that the department over which he presides "does not handle the moneys received with land applications. These moneys are paid into the government agents in the districts, who issue their receipts in duplicate, the purchaser receiving one, and its duplicate being transmitted to the department with the agent's certificate that the money has been paid." Everyone who knows Governmenl Agents Allison and Walker, through whom these particular transactions were made, will agree with the minister that "such a suggestion is preposterous." As a matter of record, the payments referred to in connection with these lands now being dealt in by the Fort Fraser Land Company were made in various amounts and at various times between February 25 and October 12, 1910. "We have no officia' knowledge of the Fort Fraser Land Company," added Hon. Mr. Ross, nor has the department sold an acre of land to this company or to any applicant for whom the company, from the departmental records, appears to be acting as agent. The lands designated as the lands which the Fort Fraser Land Company is said to be seeking to acquire are situated in various portions of the province, applied for by various Individuals, and staked by various agents. It would appear that if this company is acquiring any lands in the province it Is acquiring the rights of individual stakers. "With reference to the statement that 'about a year ago the government put a reserve on all lands In that district so that no such lands ceinld now be acquired at that price,' I have to say that so far as the reserve is concerned It only extends en tlie noith shoie of Ootsa lake, In the vicinity of which these lands lie, and as far as our maps and departmental information go, there are iliousands of acres of land in that I in mediate vicinity which are still unreserved and open to purchase or preemption." General Misapprehension. There appears to be a very genera I misapprehension, the minister! aeleli'd, as to crown land prices in e British Columbia, tlie impression j seeming to prevail that there werej fixed prices of $2.50 and $5 per acre for second and first, class lands respectively.

Tuesday, July 18, 1911 PROTECT OUR TRADE As will appear in another column of this issue the city of Vancouver is determined that there shall be direct connection given at once by rail between that place and the Peace River country. The move has been carried to the extent of a league being formed to push the idea along and to endeavor to interest othei places like Victoria and New Westminster in the movement. The object of the movement is a simple one. It is to establish the trade from all the northern interior of this province in the city of Vancouver during the formative period of Prince Rupert's business life. It is an attempt to divert from this city trade that ought to flow this way. The time is coming when the connection asked for will be given, but there is no necessity for any particular rush in that matter. Of far more importance to the northern part of the province and in the interests of the fullest development of tho whole of Britisii Columbia is the completion of the fullest connection with Prince Rupert of as wide an area of this northern part of the province as possible. The district which the city of Vancouver seeks to bring within the scope of its influence is the natural field for trade with this city as soon as the G. T. P. is completed and there are other necessary connecting avenues of transportation opened up to connect with the line. The very fact that there is a trade opening up in that part of the country today is due to the fact that the G. T. P. is under construction. Had care been taken when the transcontinental was Initiated that construction should have begun from the Pacific at '.he same time that, it was com. menced in the east, all the territory of which Vancouver now seeks to secure the trade, would have been doing business with this city. The Dominion Government, however, did not see fit to so provide and in consequence Prince Itupert is obliged to wait until the line is completed before coming into the full measure of its trade possibilties even in a local sense. This Is not the fault of the G. T. P., which must look to its own interests and so avoid to as large an extent as possible the costly construction from the westward. If, however, the Peace River dis- tricts and the areas within easy reach • of the line of the G. T. P. are to be benefitted to the fullest extent ii can be afforded in the best way le. an expedition of the means of connecting them up with the port of Prince Rupert, All that territory will find its natural market and outlet for Its product through Prince Ruperl. To cul off ihis port from tho trade that naturally belongs to it in iho formative days of the city would be anything bul just to this place. There will assuredly be connection gl' .'ii Vancouver with this northern pari but that must come after the through line to Prince Rupert has been completed. Had the G. T. P. looked only to the Immediate future in the mailer of trade there can be little doubl that the company would have bulll at once to Vancouver bo- tore completing the line to Prince Rupert. The policy was different, however, The company is interested in Beelng the. real terminus built up and there were either influences at work in the same direction, all having for their end the development of an important commercial centre here. Connection with Vancouver with the large business places already in operation there could not kill Prince Rupert, but it would have the effect of disturbing the prospective trade of this place at a time when it would he troublesome to the men who might venture into business in the city. The Peace River district is within the zone of influence of Prince Rupert and the trade of that section of the country will assuredly come this way. Much shorter collections can be given every part of the district with this city than can ever he established between that country and the southern cities of the province. As times goes on there will he connections with the south and the business interests of Prince Rupert will have to enter into competition. There is nothing to fear under the conditions when that time comes. A later announcement concerning the plans of the Vancouver committee is contained in the following: "In an effort to arouse interest in regard to the proposed direct railway line from Vancouver to the Peace River country, Dr. E. S. Rowe, who was appointed secretary of the Peace River Pacific. League a few nights ago, will arrange meetings in Victoria of the leading ibtisiness men of the Capital at the end of the present week. "The following committee, which was appointed by the league, will also go to Victoria for the same purpose as Dr. Rowe: Messrs. C. H. Macaulay, Robert Kelly, W. H. Malkin, A. G. McCandless and F. Carter- Cotton, M. P. P. Meetings will also be arranged in North Vancouver, New Westminster and other points." There is no doubt that the places mentioned will enter into the scheme with very hearty accord. Their self- interests would ditcate such a course. Selfish feelings are prompting the cities of the south, especially tbe city of Vancouver, which is more essentially commercial than the others, to fight the young giant of the north before it develops its strength. Nothing could be more complimentary to this city than the course which is being pursued. To the outsider it cannot help appealing as the best proof that the city of Prince Rupert is a coming rival in a commercial sense of Vancouver. The latter city fully recognizes this and also recognizes that with all tne advantages which this northern centre possesses in the way of the best transcontinental roadbed on the continent, the best harbor on the coast, freedom from fogs which have played so much mischief with the southern ports' Interests, rich agricultural and horticultural lands within easy reach of the place all along the route of the railway and the richest mining country i.i British Columbia suroundiiig the city and directly tributary to it, there is nothing that can prevent the development of an immense centre here which will hold its own against all comers when the lines of communication are completed. It is not that the citizens of Prince Rupert are afraid of competition that many come after the place is in a position to handle trade. There is no question as to what will be the result then, it would be taking an unfair advantage however of the city were the trade that is being built up be- cause of the enterprise of which Prince Rupert, is a part thrust into the hands of others during the days when the whole is in the chrysalis singe. » ii - *•»* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *:• * * * News of the Province 1 * t * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * .*. * * * * * * * * OPPOSE All) SANDON—A petition in opposition to any government assistance being etxended to the company which has acquired the ivaslo & Siocan Railroad and will shortly resume its operation, lias been sent to the government from Sandon, it being the concensus of the views of the mass meeting held in that gulch mining town recently AGAINST RECIPROCITY LADXER—At a representative meeting of the board of trade, held on Monday, a copy of a resolution expressing the antazonism of the Delta district to reciprocity was ordered to be sent to the local member, J.

Sluilz of Madison, Wis., a director of the company, and A. C. Stielow, a prominent pulp mill man of Milwaukee, were at Fernie a few days ago. Mr, Stielow intends to erect and operate a wood pulp manufacturing plant in this district and his visit here was in connection with his new enterprise. Mr. Henderson is seeking a market for Bull river power and will interview the various power consumers throughout the Pass with regard to the available market. As the big market for power is to the east of the plant the first copper will be laid over the Lizard Pass to this city. The first unit of the plant will be installed as soon as practicable. HUDSON'S BAY STORES Sir Wilfrid Criticised The l.ondong Globe, commenting on I hi' Impressions the' premiers leave behind them, says that Sir Wilfrid Laurier is no: quite so flawless a figure, as he' was. Some of his remarks here have, evoked dissent, and a few have caused genuine pain. His whole atttude has been one' of constraint anil regrel at having come. Mr. Fisher, on the other hand, made a gooil impression personally. VANCOUVER—That Vancouver is to have a new department store building that will cost in the neighborhood of $1,500,000, is the announcement made by Herbert E. Bur- bidge, store commissioner for . the Hudson's Bay Company, when seen the other dav at the Hotel Vancouver, where he is registered with Mrs Burbidge, having arrived from Montreal on Sunday. "Vancouver has gone ahead so fast that the Hudson's Bay Company must not alone keep pace with the city's marvelous growth, hut if anything, be prepared for further progress for some years lo come,' 'said Mr. Burbidge in discussing his company's plans. "The new store will occupy half of the block bdunded by Granville, Georgia, Dunsmuir and Seye- mour streets, which site includes the present large space occupied by the Hudson's Bay store. Wo will begin building operations at the earliest possible moment upon the fifty foot lot behind the present, store. Upon completion of the building on this little plot, the business will be transferred to the new quarters and thus the commerce of our local branch will proceed without interruption. "But the Hudson's Bay Company's building operations will not be restricted alone to Vancouver, for we have purchased a million dollars' worth of land in Winnipeg, on Portage avenue. Arrangements have also been completed for the building of a $50,000 department store at Vernon. We shall continue to develop our I business in British Columbia, and I shall pay more and more attention to tlie outlying districts, as railroad development continues." ************< * ***** ********* * Remember That we Import Our Wines direct from Europe; and that j no house in Prince Rupert can equal them for quality.

NEW POWER READY VANCOUVER "In pursuance of the. rights and privileges granted to us hy franchise, dated April 23, 1901, we are now ready lo commence work on a system of mains for ihe distribution of electrical energy within the limits of the eity of Vancouver," This was the statement In a letter from the' Western Canada Power Company, which was read to the board of works at its meeting yesterday. Wm. McNeil, representing the company, submitted plans for the approval of the council, showing on what streets and alleyways the company proposed to lay underground enables and to string overhead wires conveying electrical energy. "The energy will be generated by two 13,- 000 horsepower turbines," says the communication, "and will he conveyed from our plants at Stave Falls over a transmission line supported by steel towers to the receiving station which has just been built at D. L. 121 Burnaby. At this station the pressure will then be reduced to 10,000 volts and then the electrical energy will be conveyed on a wooden pole line following the route of the Great Northern Railway to the easterly limits of the city. From the city limits we propose to convey the energy at 13,000 volts upon wooden pole lines to approximately APrlnce Edward avenue and Fifth avenue, and then to the corner of Gore avenue and Cordova street east, at which place we propose to buld two substation in which the electrical energy will be transformed from 13,000 to 2,300 volts." It is explained that to convey such a heavy voltage by overhead wires would be a serious menace to tlie citizens, so the company proposes to use underground mains with steel armored cables laid in trenches.

A CHINESE LINE new works will give a length of mooring walls, with complete installation, 10,402 feet. The width of the docks will be 377 feet. In addition to the above important undertaking, the government has the following works in course of construction or about to be commenced: Construction of customs depots and amplification of existing ones, $8,900,0000 gold; Patagonian railway, $16,700,000 gold; railway from Diamanti to Caruzu Guatia, $10,600,- 000 gold; construction and equipment of the national railways, $20,- 000,000 gold; palace of justice, $3,900,000 gold. SLOW TRIP The steamers M. S. Dollar, Bessie Dollar, and Hazel Dollar, now registered at Victoria, B. C, and the new steamer Robert Dollar, recently launched on the Clyde, are to form the nucleus of the first Chinese trans- Pacific line which is to ply from Chinese ports under the dragon flag of China, manned entirely by Chinese navigators and seamen, the beginning of another phase of seamanship business in the Pacific. The new venture will follows the lines of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, Osaka Sliosen Kaisha, and Toyo Kisen Kaisha steamers are now susidized by the government of Japan. Following the reports brought from China Mr. Stanley Dollar, who is in charge of the head office of the Dollar line at San Francisco in the absence of his father in China, has been interviewed and lie states that the negotiations are now under way and expected to be completed shortly for the transfer of the four vessels to China, 'the change will be made in September. Tlie Dollar line has now a contract with the Western Steel Corporation to carry iron from Hankow to this coast and has landed several cargoes at Iron- dale. The proposed Chinese line is to be financed by a large company with capital of $11,000 000, recently organized by the joint chambers of commerce of many important Chinese cities. MILLIONS OX PORT It has been well known for years thai the shipping trade at the port of Buenos Ayres has increased so rapidly that the accommodations for loading and discharging vessels have been inadequate and that there has been a great longest ion of steamers at the docks. In consequence, vessels have been so long delayed in discharging and loading that on two occasions a question on the subject was aske'd in the British House of Commons. The Argentine authorities have now begun to move in tlie matter. About the onil of 1909 the government received plans and tenders from nine different firms for the construction of the necessary works in enlarging tlie port, bul, after Studying there for nol less Mian ten months, the executive power discovered that all the projects and tenders were' unacceptable, owing to ils having in asking estimates tried to effect in a single act for two operations, which ought to have been kept rigorously apart—namely, the competition for the plans and the tenders for the construction of the works. The plans were revised and examined by the executive power and the , government has just accepted the proposal of a London firm for the construction of the new port at a cost of $24,169,241.35 gold. The works are to begin within six months of the date of signing the contract and are to be completed within five years under penalty for deiay of $20,000 gold per month. The works are to be constructed In such a manner that there will be a depth of water sufficient in the channels and docks for the entrance of vessels drawing 30 feet; but the executive power is authorized to reserve in the contract the right to reduce the depth tor the entrance of vessels drawing only 27 feet. The Reports from England announce the arrival of the British ship Blytheswood at Queenstown from Tacoma with grain. She reached the Irish port on June 19, after having made the passage in 158 days which is the slowest time made by any of the grain carriers which left the Sound this year. The Blytheswood has always been looked upon as a smart sailer but as she was spoken in the South Pacific north of Cape Horn 81 days out it was' believed she must have encountered some heavy weather in making the run down the coast. A great deal of apprehension was felt in shipping circles along the coast as to her safety, due to tha appaprently prolonged pasage, as it was figured that she was 175 days out on Thursday last. Some supported the theory that she must have foundered, while others felt certain that she would turn up soon. The despatches received, however, dispel all mystery, while the Blytheswood still takes the honor of being the slowest ship of the fleet. On January 12 the Blytheswood passed out from the Sound, commencing her long trip. She left Tacoma a week earlier than this, however, but owing to the heavy gale which was raging outside had to lie in Neah Bay seven days before she was able to get clear of Flattery. Within a few hours of the British ship a French sailing vessel cleared and shipping men were looking for a tight race between the two craft. The French vessel won by nearly a month, having escaped all rough weather and finished a particu arly fast passage from the Sound to England. With the reporting of the Blytheswood, all of the 1911 grain fleet of Puget Sound have been accounted for. Some of the sailers made ex- eeedingly fast trips, which stand as records for the distance.

The ship has a cargo capacity of 450 tons, in addition to her bunkers, and altogether it is expected she will be a very convenient and comfortable ship, well adapted for the purpose for which she is intended. It is expected she will arrive on the coast some time the latter part of July, and will as soon as possible thereafter be placed in commission on the Prince Rupert-Queen Charlotte Islands route, relieving the Prince Albert for other purposes. THE PRINCE JOHN The new steamer Prince John of the G. T. P., which is on the way from the United Kingdom to replace I lie steamer Prince Albert on the Prince Rupert-Queen Charlotte Islands route, is a vessel 185 feet long, 30 feet beam and 13 feet 3 inches moulded depth, built of steel and class 100 Al with a star at. Lloyds. She has seven watertight bulkheads with double bottom, affording ample ballast and fresh water storage, large bunkers, two multi-tubular Scotch boilers, triple expansion engines, an extremely moderate fuel consumption. The vessel had ben modeled to stand the heaviest weather, and is a remarkable sea boat, In addition to a large and well arranged steerage accommodation for 150, she has good first class accommodation; a very neat and comfortable smoking room done in fumed oak with leather upholstery, and buffet in connection. This is accessible only from first class quarters. The dining, seating 44, is done in mahogany with crimson upholstery and ilrapings, and it situated on tlie shelter deck, and attached lo it is a large pantry and galley, conveniently laid out and fitted with all modern equipment necessary to a first, class Bervlce. The chief steward's officers and men's washrooms are located also on this deck. The dining room is readied by a mahogany Btairway leading from th lounge on the shade deck into a well proportioned and airy vestibule, also mahogany paneled and decorated. The principal stateroom accommodation is situated on the shelter deck, and I'onsits of 18 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 n<jat 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 tlie steamer. Above this is the pilot house, and teaxs for the officers' quarters.

Its special duty will be to determine the approaches to Fort Churchill and other proposed terminals of the Hudson Bay Railway. The Minto will be absent till the close of navigation in the bay, and on her report will large ly depend the selection of the point to be reached by the Hudson Bay Railway, which will be built under subsidies of guarantees by the Dominion government. Captain George Bartlett, an experienced Arctic navigator, and an uncle of Peary's, goes as pilot. o Among the Nines NEW STRIKE A rich strike has been made on the Apex Group, owned by Russ Bell and Bill Harris, adjoining the Swede Group, near Lockport, on the east coast of Queen Charlotte Island. 15. C'S POSSIBILITIES Big Field for Investors, Says the Monetary Times—States Mineral Production The Monetary Times remarks of the great field offered by British Columbia: ■■Capitalists from many lands have personally investigated the large undeveloped resources there, afterwards placing in the province their own money and that of syndicates represented by them.

Mr. Bauer, whose interests in this province are mentioned in seven figures, has come to Vancouver to look over his properties and partly to investigate for himself certain mining and land propositions which have been passed upon favorably by his agents during the past few months. Mineral wealth has a particular fascination for Mr. Bauer, and while he is very reticent in discussing his immediate plans along ihese lines, he permitted it to be gleaned from his conversation that Britisii Columbia will soon see a heavy invasion of British capital for the development of ils mining interests, particularly the gold prospects in the north. "Beyond the fact that British Columbia has more than a passing interest to me, on account of my large financial connections wiih various interests, and the admission that I am here to look overj certain properties which have been i favorably reported upon by my agents, 1 cannot speak more defintely at this time," said .Mr. Bauer in discussing the object of his visit. "Only a blind man could pass over British Columbia as the most promising field for Investment at present," said lie. ■f *********************** STORAGE Household Goods and Baggage given careful attention.

It is not strange that the laymen does noi find this as easy as an open book. Good authorities have differed and still differ on the question. But their differences are slight when compared to the wide variance of belief among the patrons of the game regarding tlie matter. Not long ago a party of fans, returning from a ba'l game, contained one of those talkative guys who know everything there is to know about baseball and represent themselves to be bosom friends with every star performer in the major leagues. Two pitchers had been used by the winning team and somebody in the party asked which one got credit for the game. Mr, Wise promptly informed the carload of patrons that Jones won the game. He went on to explain that when Smith was taken out in the sixth inning the score was 4 to 2 in favor of his team and that he would have been given the victory hut for the fact that the opposing team made two runs in the nintl inning, the final score being 6 to 4, That made Jones the winning pitcher. i , "You see," he explained, "it all depends on whether thi score is tied or not. Smith had the game won when he left it, but the other team made enough runs to tie the score in the ninth. So that made Jones the winner." That was not quite clear to one member of the party, who thought the last pitcher in the game always got credit for a victory or a defeat. Still another argued that so and so, who knew Garry Herrmann through being an Elk, had told him that the pitcher who worked the greater number of innings always was given the victory or defeat. These are only a few of the erroneous ideas on the subject in circulation throughout fandom, and all of the mentioned are about equally far from the facts. Not so much importance attaches to the question of the winning and losing pitcher now as in former years, because in the major leagues a new system has been evolved for ascertaining the relative standing of the pitchers, and in this system the percentage of games won and lost cuts no figure, although the formality of awarding a victory or a defeat still is maintained in some form or other. By the new system, which cannot he gone into in detail at this time, the effectiveness of the pitchers throughout a season is the basis of ranking without regard to whether th pitcher is on a winning or losing team. But the experienced rooter still clings to his belief that the pitcher who comes through a season with the greatest number of victories to his credit is the best slab man in his league. For the aforesaid E. R. some light may he thrown on the problem by stating the method by which the secretaries of the two major leagues used to determine the winning or losing pitcher in cases where more than one pitched on a side. In general, a pitcher who goes into a game with the score in favor of his opponents cannot lose that game, but may win it; a pitcher who goes into a game with the score tied and no one on bases wins or loses that game according to the final result; a pitcher who takes another's place with the score in favor of ills own team usually Is given credit for the victory or defeat as the case may be, the exceptions being few; a pitcher who is taken out of a game with the score against him loses it if his team eventually is beaten and does not win It if his team wins out. Perhaps a few concrete Illustrations will help. Mathewson starts for the Giants, who run up a score of 12 to 1 in three or four Innings, and McGraw puts Maquard on the slab to save the big star. If the Giants win that game Mathewson gets It; if they lose it is charged to Marquard. But if Mathewson started and was taken out because the opposing team was beginning to him or because he lost, control then Marquard would get credit for a victory or would be charged with a defeat. Ruelbach, for instance, pitches into the last half of the ninth Inning with the score (1 to 8 In his favor. Then he loses eontrol and the bases are filled with one out. Brown goes on and retires two men and the side without letting in more than one or two of the men on bases. The victory goes to Brown. If the other team hits Brown hard enough to win the game the defeat is charged to him. However, if the score had been 6 to 4 and the bases full when Brown went in, he could get credit for winning the gmae, but, if the three men who were on bases when Reulbach retired had eventually scored, making the final score 7 to 6, then Reulbach would be charged with the defeat. Lange starts pitching for the White Sox and the other team scores one run off him in five innings. Walsh then takes his place after somebody has batted for Lange. Walsh cannot lose that game, because a defeat will be charged to | Lange, but if the White Sox win out the victory will go to Walsh. These are only a few of the puzzles that arise, but may convey the idea. One situation never has been satisfactorily solved and that is the case where a pitcher is taken out to let a substitute hit for him with the score 3 to 1 against him, for instance, in that inning his team makes a bunch of runs so that when the substitute pitcher goes to the slab in the next inning the score is 5 to 3 In his favor. There is a good argument for either pitcher sometimes in such cases and often the best of opinions differ. Summing it all up, there is no hard and fast rule that will cover all cases. Each game is considered hy itself and in general victory or defeat is recorded to the pitcher responsible for it as nearly as human fallibility and the luck of baseball permits.

Bror Florman, a Swedish athlete at one time, who now is retired and is living in Vancouver, was in Victoria the other day to see the Terminal City and Island twelves battle in one of the matches of the series that will decide the issue. It is he who will decide arangements that will result in an excursion across tbe Atlantic for either the webbed stick representatives of Victoria, Vancouver or New Westminster. With the western team be will take the best eastern aggregation. The two have been entered through his efforts and under his auspices in the Olympic sports of 1912, which are to take place in Stockholm, Sweden. No more enthusiastic admirer of the Canadian national game could be imagined than Mr. Florman. He has been in communication with the committee of management of the forthcoming Olympic games for some months with respect to the idea of giving exhibitions of lacrosse on the other side. They have endorsed his proposal in toto. He believes that the tour will prove one of the finest means of advertising the Dominion that has ever been promulgated and is confident that it will bea success financially and in every other respect. Tbe winners of the British Co lumbla and eastern amateur leagues will leave next May, it being the intention that they shall appeas in a series of exhibitions before going to Sweden. The tour, as roughly mapped out bf its enterprising promoters up to date, is as follows: London, Paris, Bordeaux, San Sebastian, Madrid, Barcelona, Rome, Florence, Mayence, Berlin, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Christiana. From the latter point the Canadians will go to Stockholm, where they will arrive sometime during the first or second week In July. There Olympic matches are scheduled for the 23d and 25th of that month. The sports are fixed for the period between the 23d to the 81st. A great Canadian—he was in reality an Imperial figure—passes from public service with the retirement of Lord Strathcona. He has announced that with advancing years and at the advice of his physician he must retire from the position he has held as Canadian High Commissioner in London. From a poor Scottish boy earning his living as a servant of the Hudson's Bay Company on the remote Labrador coast, Donald A. Smith rose to membership in the Canadian parliament, to a commending place in the financial world, and in his ripe but wonderfully useful old age he has been Canadian High Commissioner in London and a member of the British Peerage. It would require a volume to enumerate the many spheres of activity and avenues of public service of this wonderful citizen of the Empire. In the quelling of the first Riel rebellion alone he scored for the government by the very confidence the Indians reposed in him. He was a pioneer builder of the western empire, and one of the founders of the Canadian Pacific Railway. In 1896 just at the close of his brief career in politics, he was a delegate to try and settle the Manitoba school question, and soon thereafter became High Commissioner. Montreal knows hism as her leading financier for years, and president of the Bank of Montreal. In Britain he has championed the cause of Canada with unflagging enthusiasm, and In the highest circles. Lord Strathcona has ever been liberal with his wealth, and hundreds of deserving institutions can testify to his generosity. That old age would sometime compel his retirement was of course inevitable, for he is now 91, but Canadians will wish him still years of leisure in which to enjoy his honors and his friendships in the old world and in the new.

Gloss, Portland Rowing Club, second; W. N. Kennedy, James General Diaz, now in Spain, said the friendly demonstrations at Spanish ports had comforted hi.n greatly in his bitter exile. He denied statements published in the Spanish papers that the United States had been responsible for the revolutionary movement in Mexico. Asked if he had intended taking up his residence in Spain, the general said: "It is q»ite possible that after a few months' rest I shall turn my steps to the peninsula. I speak only Spanish and 1 am too old to begin the study of foreign languages. However, nothing has yet been decided upon. I shall make up my mind in Paris, where I shall go direct from Havre." One of the members of General Diaz's suite said that the principal reason for the visit to Paris was to consult a specialist with reference to the abscess from which General Diaz is still suffering. General Diaz was somewhat reluctant to touch upon Mexico, saying that he wished to keep recent events from his thoughts as much as possible. Finally )le decided to make a statement. "I abandoned power," he said, "when I became convinced that nothing but war for at least a year would put down the revolution. I wished to prevent the spilling of the blood of the children of my country In the fratricidal struggle, and above all to avoid the possibility of an International conflict or even representations from foreign powers. I wished to avoid the weakening of the national credit and the dissatisfaction of foreigners residing in Mexico, who have contributed greatly to the prosperity of the nation and who have merited the consideration of my country by their work. ■My desire was to safeguard both my own dignity and the dignity of my charge without ever having beeu guided by vulgar sentiment or petty pride, and certainly I did not bring about this strife, as some seem to believe, to keep myself in power. I have sacrificed myself and given up the struggle convinced that I am giving better proof of my abnegation and devotion to my country by abandoning the reins of government and transmitting them to others. "I have broken all the bonds which hold me to Mexico, and even if I were asked I would not return to take part in the politics of the country. Only some international difficulty necessitating a supreme effort on the part of all Mexicans in a close union could make me aljer my decision, but if such an eventuality arose nothing could stop me from going to the end of my life as in the first years of manhood—rifle in hand." Here the general stopped and remained thoughtful for an instant. Then he excused himself from answering further questions, merely adding that he now awaited any THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE SIR EDMUND WALKER, C.V.O., LL.D., D.C.L., President ALEXANDER LAIRD, General Manager CAPITAL, - $10,000,000 REST, - $7,000,000 DRAFTS ON FOREIGN COUNTRIES Every branch of The Canadian Bank of Commerce is equipped to issue drafts on the principal cities in the folio wing countries Without delay : Africa ?ret* Greece New Zealan Arabia Cuba Holland Argentine Republic Denmark Iceland Australia Egypt India Austria-Hungary Faroe Islands Ireland Belgium Finland 1 taly Brazil Formosa Japan Bulgaria France Java ulei Ceylon Chili Norway Panama Persia Peru Philippine Islandt Portugal R oilman ia Russia Servia Si am Siberia Soudan South Africa Spain Slraits Settlement* Sweden Switzerland Turkey Tinted States UrUeguay West Indie*, tie.

Market for the Yellow Metal Exists —How Disposition Is Made of the Production Bankers and financiers in all parts of the globe, says the Montreal Chronicle, evince interest in the disposition of the consignments of gold, the product of the Transvaal mines, which are offered for sale in the' London market on Monday each week. Interest hinges on tlie question whether the bank of England will get this gold. Often there Is competition and bids will he entered for all or part of the gold, on behalf of parties representing the Bank of France, the Bank of Germany or another of the great European state banks, and on occasions New York will make strong bids and succeed In bringing the yellow metal to this side of the Atlantic. It will be interesting to trace the progress of this gold from the mines to its market. It Is, of course, raised from the earth through the shafts of the various mining companies operating on the Rand. These companies dispose of their output regularly to the bankers in South Africa. The banks there buy the gold from their customers, the responsible mining companies. They pay for it through crediting the purchase money to the account of the mines. In settling, the price which they wil pay they are obliged to take account of the cost of transmitting the metal to London — on which steamship charges, Insurance and interest all figure. Then, on regular days each week, the gold is consigned to London. The South African banks get from the steamship companies bills of lading covering the shipments. These bills of lading they transmit to their London agents. Most of the South African banking Institutions are English, and have their head offices In London. The hanks which forward the gold are aware that they will get for it in London at least 77 shillings and !l pence per ounce. For the law requires the Bank of England to pay that price for all gold of standard fineness presented lo it. There is a posslbllty that the gold may sell for a higher price. If there is competition for it other parties may bid higher and if the Bank of England wishes to secure it, the bank will meet the higher bids. At these weekly sales it is the unwritten law that al whatever price is fixed upon for the gold the Bank of England week or two waiting; they say, perhaps, "We are very busy, we cannot deliver It." No; there is very little ever goes to the mint. In the interview Lord Swaythling, in regard to checking an export demand for gold through paying out sovereigns which, while being of the legal minimum weight, were yet not full weight pieces. He says: "They sift out the minimum legal weight of the sovereigns and heap th m up for the exporters. If they give us full weight sovereigns we would be very glad to get them, but they will not. We now could send gold to France if we could get full weight sovereigns, but we cannot get them. Formerly they did not do those things." Upon the commissioners asking him, ' Where are the full weight sovereigns?" lie replied: "Oh, they keep them for Inferior purposes. If Liverpool and Manchester banks want sovereigns they get full weight, because freighmt is against us sending them from the north to the continent. In any of the north country places you have the most beautiful, bright . heavy sovereigns which we would like to see in London, but we cannot get them." GEOLOGICAL CONGRESS Session of World's Society Will Be Held in Toronto in 1918 OPIUM POPPY DISAPPEARING In Two Years' Time China Expects to Stop Growing Poppy The International Geological Congress, made up of -the geological so- e'ieties of the world, and which meets every three years, held Its tenth session at Stockholm, Sweden, in 1910. The next, or eleventh meeting, is to be held at Toronto in July, 1913, when it is expected not less than 2,000 geologists will attend. To prepare for this important event a meeting was called at the instance of the directors of the Geological Survey of Canada, attended by the Canadian geologists, mining engineers, representatives of the universities, the government service, the Royal Society and the Canadian Mining Institute. Dr. F. D. Adams, professor of geology of McGill College, Montreal, was se>ected as president, and R. W. Brock, director of the Geological Survey, secretary-treasurer, and an executive committe consisting of the two previously named gentlemen, A. P. Coleman, J. B. Tyrrell, W. G. Miller, O. E. LeRoy, W. Mclnnes, T. Denis, W. A. Parks and G. G. S. Lindsey was chosen. They have the power to add to their number, and this will be one of the principal matters of business at the next meeting of the committee. At the first meeting of the executive committee it was decided that three series of ecurxsion should be shall have the say whether it willjheld, one before the session in Tor take the metal at thai price. Thus, suppose an outside party bid 77 shillings and 10 peine for the gold, the Bank of England would he given the chance to take it at that price and if it refused the eel her bidder would get it. For such gold as it purchases the Bank of England ineTeases its liability accordingly. The gold will be purchased either by means or an increase of its deposits or an increase of its note issues. Thus, suppose we read that the Bank of England secured $3,000,000 of new gold on a certain Monday. There will ensue an Increase of that amount in ils liabilities. The effect would he to increase the proportion of reserve liability and that, always has a tendency to increase the bank's capacity for supplying funds to the money market. Although the British mini is required by law to pay 7 7 shillings 1ei 1-^ pence per ounce for gold tendered to it none of this new gold goes directly to the mint. When the members of the United States monetary commission were withering information In Europe regarding the various European banking and currency systems they had an interesting conversation or conference In London with Lord Swaythling on the matter of the Bunk of England's operations In the gold market. The commissioners asked him, "What Is the actual value of gold coin?" The answer was: "The full weight sovereign is 77s 10 i-2d; the hank buying at 77s 9d, or anything under 10 l-2d, makes a profit." Does the bank ever pay in excess of that amount? Excess or 10 l-2d? No. Never? Never. I have known them to pay lOd, but I do not think they have ever paid m lose. Why does gold ever sell at a price less than lOd? If there are no orders tor export you must take it to the bank and sell it for 9d. Certainly. Could not you take it to the mint and have it coined. But you lose more Interest, as explained. They may keep you Sir Alexander Hosie's long expected report on the opium question in China has finally been issued by the foreign office in London. It confirms the statement recently sent out from Pekin that opium Is quickly disappearing from China and that in two years there will be no trace of the poppy in the Celestial Empire. In this case, as was recently announced in connection with the new Anglo- Chinese treaty, the export from India will cease automatically within the same period. Only a vast moral revolution affecting over 300,000,000 people could have effected such a wonderful result when It Is remembered that the opium crop was worth ?115,000,000 to China. Sir Alexander's report applies to the five principal opium growing provinces of China—Shansi, Shensi, Kansu, Yunnan and Szechuan. The most important of these is the last, which used to produce about half the crop of opium in China. Sir Alexander went over the provinces from May to September, 1910, and from January to April 1911. The results of his investigation are as follows: In Shansi he found reason to believe that the poppy had ceased to be cultivated for the last two years; in Shensi he found that the official assertions in regard to the large percentage of diminuation of the crop was highly exaggerated, although he estimated that "it may be as much as 30 per cent, but it is certainly much under 50 per cent"; from what he saw and heard In Kansu he has come to the conclus'on that the reduction in the cultivation of opium here amounts to something under 25 per cent; as the result of personal investigation in Szechuan, which extends over 34 days' travel he writes that he was "satisfied that poppy cultivation has been suppressed"; while, "taking the province of Yunnan as a whole," his belief is that the output for 1910-11 will not exceed 15,- 000 piculs, which shows that there has been a reduction of 75 per cent in the production of the drug in this province. In former times the production of opium in the province of Shansi never exceeded 30,000 piculs (133 1-3 lbs. make one picul). But in the provinces of Yunnan and Szechuan the situation was different. The lat ter for many years was the greatest opium producer in China, the pro duct ion exceeding 200,000 piculs a year. In quantity Yunnan was see ond in the market, but always first in the quality of Its opium throughout the empire.

As there appeared to have been no colluBlon among the tenderers and each of the tenders bearing the marks of bona tides, it was ultimately decldede to considerably modify the plans and thereupon invite new tenders. There lias been a sum of $150,000 provided In the estimate for the prison farm builds, which would have served to satlsfactori'y begin the Central prison, had the quotat'on for the erection of this str'icture come within the government's rough estimate of its cost, viz., $250,000.. The urgent necessity of immediately enlarging the provincial jail facilities on the lower mainland is shown by the fact that the jail at New Westminster has been almost ore, because they would*)1 continually over crowded during months past and the expedient from time to t'me adopted of transferring prisoners from that institution to various other jails throughout the province. A party of twenty such transferred prisoners has just arrived In Victoria, the Nanalmo jail also being crowded at pr- ent—en- I tirely by prisoners received from a other places. IMMIGRATION INCREASES Britisii Columbia Is Now Very Much in tlie Public Eye Acording to Official Figures The time of immigration appears to be setting in strongly towards British Columbia. Recent officia figures show'that this province received the largest number of new settlers during the past fiscal year. The figures are: British Columbia, 54,689; Alberta, 44 794; Quebec, 42,914; Saskatchewan, 40,703; Manitoba, 34,653; and the maritime provinces, 13,237. The tital immigration for the year was 311,084, of which Great Britain contributed 123,013; the continent, 66,620; the United States, 121 451. The immigration into Britisii Columbia, therefore, constitutes one-sixth of the total into Canada for 1910-11; This indicates, however, but a small part of British Columbia's Increase in population, every year seeing the exodus from the northwest provinces and eastern Canada to the Pacific coast increasing in volume. To tbe westward thek of pe'oiele is added the flow of capital, which assisting so materially in opening 1. up the land and promoting industrial and commercial development. The citizens of this province with its rich natural resources and many advantages as a field for colonization can rest confident that the new comers will find tlie field of their opportun ity a large and sure one here and that nothing can check the continued prosperity of the best part of Canada, where the essentials for substantial advancement are so happily found co-existing. This is indeed British Columbia's day.

The provincial governmenl will hi' asked for financial aid, and the business men of this city are launching a publicity campaign to forward the project. At a meeting in the Vancouver Tourist Association's headquarters a few evenings ago it was decided to seek the co-operation of several nearby municipalities—New Westminster, North Vancouver and Victoria—with a view to making the much-talked-of line a reality. It was a committee appointed by the business men which met recently that laid down the plans last night for the procuring of aid, financial and otherwise. C. H. McCauley was appointed permanent chairman, and Dr. Rowe secretary. Hereafter the title of tiie organization will be the "Peace River Pacific League." "We want everybody to boost, this line, for it is for everybody's good," 6aid W. H. Malkin. "The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway has already extended from the east to the Tete Jaune Cache. It is, therefore, without doubt, that the eastern merchants will have access to this country soon. The first thing that we should do is to bring the transportation question into prominence on the coast. This is a serious proposition for coast manufacturers." It ■was Mr. Malkin's idea that a campaign of educating the people to the importance of communication with the Peace River country should be launched. "The provincial government should be impressed with the necessity of this road," he said. "It seems absurd that we of the Pacific coast, with our facilities to bring in material, should have very little territory to which to ship there goods." "The time is coming when the flutter of real estate shall have died down," he went on. "A line to the territory by which we can ship our goods is surely then of paramount importance." Suggestions as to the route of the proposed line were made by many present. The consensus of opinion was to the effect that the railway should be built to Howe Sound, Pemberton Meadows and then through Fort George in an easterly direction through British Columbia. "The available country extends through many millions of acres," said Mr. McCauley, chairman. "These will attract many settlers and Vancouver is the place where they should get their supplies. This project should get as much publicity as possible to arouse the interest of the people. The provincial government should be approached, for we should get assistance. The other municipalities in this part of the province should he brought into the fold. We need their co-operation badly. We are not tied to any particular scheme, we just want at the present time, public notice." On the suggestion of Robert Kelly a resolution was passed appointing the secretary to approach the mayor and board of trade in Victoria and outline the plans. A number of oilier business men from Vancouver will accompany him. A grant will be asked from the local council. Ewing Buchan said that It would be advisable for the league to divide the work in regard to getting statis- tlcs about the scheme so as to Indicate to the government that business was meant. He thought experts on questions of minerals, lumbering and wheat growing should be engaged to get data on the northern part of the province. The delegation will go to Victoria in a few days. — o The Methodist Sunday school Is holding its picnic at Metlakatla this afternoon. quiries on the point and be in a position to advise the board. Before closing the chief of police was asked by the mayor if he had any way in which the licensed places were conducting their houses. The chief said he had no complaints to offer. His worship said that if at any lime he found difficulty in enforcing the law as far as these places were concerned he had only to let the board know and the latter would deal with the cases. The law would have to be lived up to. reasonable that they should. As far as any "frame ups" were concerned however, he knew of none. Later, Aid.

Dr. Duval Contends for a Revision of the Time Honored Guide of the Denomination G.T.P.'S EASY GRADE How the Summit of the Rockies is Passed by the Railway Line on its Western Route. Short Distance From Edmonton Altitude Is Readied Almost as Great as Highest Point There is a point on the Grand Trunk Pacific, 36 miles west of Edson, that is only 145 feet lower than the highest altitude reached by the railway during its passage over the mountains through the Yellowhead Pass, says the Edmonton Capital. This is at a place that has been named Obed, situated on the height of land between the McLeod and Athabasca rivers. It is 86 miles east of the summit of the rockies and a singular feature of the approach to the mountains by the G. T. P. is that between this high point and the summit the road takes a dip of 304 feet, reaching its lowest altitude at Fiddle Creek, nine miles past the entrance to Jasper Park. At Fiddle Creek the road starts on the final up-grade to the summit, which is 47 miles farther west. In this distance it has a grade of 549 feet, or an average of 11.6 feet per mile In tlie 17 Fitzhugh and the summit, however, there is a rise of 238 feet, or an average grade of 14 feet per mile. Although Fitzhugh is so close to the summit of the Yellowhead Pass it is lower than the high point between the Athabasca and McLeod rivers by 93 feet. Obed, the summit of the grade between the two streams, is 3,559 feet above sea level. Fitzhugh rises to a height of 3,466 feet. The summit of the Yellowhead Pass is 3,704 feet. Thus it will be seen that. Obed is only 145 feet lower than the summit of the mountain pass. It would be an easy gradient for the railway over the mountains, if after reaching the height of land between the McLeod and the Athabasca, if were not necessary to descend into the valley of the latter stream. Obed is only a few miles from the shore of the Athabasca river. From this point where tha railway crosses the ferred to tlie chief of police to prevent the gathering of the laundry by the Chinamen on Sundays. He did not think they should be allowed to ilo this when others were not allowed to do it. Aid, Newton, while lie was not a strict observer of the Sabbath, felt that the Chinese should not be allowed lo interfere with the day to the disadvantage of white labor. Aid. Hilditch pointed out that while lie had no sympathy with Chinese whatever this motion would only make Ihe council look foolish. The chief of police had no authority, he believed, to prevent this. The matter had been gone into by the council last year also. His worship felt that every member of the council appreciated the difficulty and would like to see the Chinese prevented from carrying on Lie work. He suggested, however, that the best way would be to refer this to the city solicitor to see what could be done in a legal way. Aid. Douglas said the chief of police could soon prevent if he were asked. The city solicitor interjected that the chief could do nothing of the kind. The question had been before the courts time and time again and they always lost. Off hand, he could not say if there might not be some way found to meet the difficulty. He would have to consider it. Aid. Clayton objectd to interfering with personal liberty in connection with the Sabbath. It was finally decided to refer this to the city solicitor.

Personals The higher criticism and new theology were themes of discussion at the session of the Winnipeg Presbytery last week, and the meeting at times took on an appearance of excited and radical debate. The questions first arose after the annual report on Sunday school work and young people's societies had been Last year this branch of the work "went down below zero," as the report stated, and this year very slight improvement was recorded. Rev. Dr. F. B. Duval, ex-moderator of the general assembly, then rose to his feet and said what we want is a catechism of instruction that cannot be impeached as far as human mind can understand the mystery of life. Progress of philosophy and science has been such In the last tliree centuries that many beliefs embodied in the Westminster catechism are no longer tenable. What is necessary is that the central committee of the Presbyterian Church and- of leading minds of that denomination be appointed by our general assembly to co-operate with a central committee of every other Protestant de- uomination in drawing up a modern catechism of instruction along positive lines that can be taken seriously by every young man and young woman in their Sunday schools and young people's soeieties without any mental reservations. Unless that is done, soon things will he getting worse instead of better. We. want a central committee to define the fundamental principles of our religion in common defence. In many respects we are still lingering in the dim religious light that Wesley spoke about. There should be no such thing as dim religious light, for the light on our religion should be brightly burning for all to see. Rev. Dr. Farquharson then arose and took an opposite course in the debate to Dr. Duval. There was no doubt, he said that the progress in science and philosophy had done a great deal to shake some brandies of their faith, but he thought that the Westminster catechism was good enough for the Presbyterian Church at present. Another member of the Presbytery- said that the religion had almost disappeared from the young people's societies, and nothing remained but sport and athletics.

Richard McBride in London, Lieutenant General Sir J. II. Edwards presided. Mr. McBride spoke of the vast opportunities for investment in timber, coal an fisheries in Britisii Columbia, the excellent quality of fruit grown in the province, the millions of acres of valuable land yet to be tilled, which might be expected to produce crops in abundance. Though its population is not yet half a million, Britisii Columbia, he said, had the second largest revenue of any province and the indications were that it probably would have the largest in a few years. British Columbia was very careful to stand by the determination that she will always take her part in the support of one king, one flag, one empire.

He will return in a fow days, Strawberry Culture Here is a method of raising strawberries which the Washington farmer practises with great success, ac- Cordlng to G. S. Henderson, the pure food Inspector, who was In the city last. Sunday, states the Revelstoke Mall-Herald: In the spring he covers the ground with a thick layer of dean straw. This prevents the berries coming In contact with the ground, nnd keeps them clean. After the crop has been harvested, he cuts the plants off close to the ground with a scythe, and when the tops are thoroughly dry he burns them, together with the straw. By following this method of cultivation he harvests an immense crop of berries each year, and the necessity of replanting every three or four years Is obviated, as the p'ants treated In this manner wIM produce good cropB for an indefinite number of years. o "Willie," said the little girl, "why are those chickens called Leghorns?"

The offer will he looked Into. o Have Name Entered If there Is any citizen of Prince Rupert or the district who has been overlooked by the census enumerators, it 1b his duty as a citizen to go at once to the census commission er, Frank Mobley, and have his name placed on the list. With all due regard to the good Intentions of those who are engaged In the work of cen- fromsus taking, It Is quite possible that many have been missed. In a city such as Prince Rupert, where many of the residents are roomers or tenters and who are consequently away from their domicile except at certain hours of the night, the taking of the census is particularly difficult, and It would not he altogether surprising If some were not missed. 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 holts and stove putty. It's important to every one using or buying a range. SOLD AND GUARANTEED BY THE Kaien Hardware Co.
