A LIQUOR CRUSADE
Authorities Are Making Move to Put
Down the Selling of
Intoxicants
Time of Police Court is Occupied
With Bearing of Cases or
Alleged Iiifiuctioii
The police authorities have been
busy for several weeks past collecting evidence against what are commonly known as "blind-pigs." The
result has been that the time of
Police Magistrate Carss has been
quite fully occupied with the hearing of evidence relative to whether
liquor is being sold or not by alleged violators of the law.
On Wednesday morning evidence
was taken on informations laid
against Edward Morrison of "the
bowling ally on Second avenue, auu
against D. McRae of the Dominion
Hotel.
A. M. Manson appeared as the city
prosecutor, while L. W. Patmore appeared for the defence in each case.
The evidence was very contradictory. In the case of Morrison, the
evidence of the prosecution was that
a bottle of whiskey was procured
upon application, while the defence
put up was that the police officer
was a friend of the defendant and
he had got the liquor from a club
on Ihe officer stating he was not
feeling well.
In the case of the Dominion, the
evidence of the proprietor was that
he did not sell to the police officer
who swore he got it from him.*
Incidentally the strength of "beer-
Ine," which Mr. .McRae said was the
only drink lie sold, came up. This
was claimed to be non-intoxicating,
but the police magistrate doubted
whether under the act this could be
taken as warranting its sale. There
was a doubt In his mind as to
whether any alcoholic liquors could
be sold.
The decision of the police magistrate was deferred until this morning, when he found both guilty. In
the case of E. Morrison he inflicted
a fine of $5 and costs, with an ad-

PURE MEAT CRUSADE
Medical Health Officer is to See That
Law is Enforced in
City.
Mayor Stork Does Not Think the
Council Should Devise Ways of
Bringing in Food
The health officer of the city reported to the council on Wednesday
evening on the subject of ensuring
pure meat in the city. He explained
that being carried in the open on
ship board on the way here it soon
became tainted. He suggested as
one means of overcoming the difficulty that the meat dealers should
see that their was cold storage provided on the steamers carrying the
meat. Another way out of it would
be, t6 have the animals shipped In
alive and slaughter houses built here.
This might not be advisable in view
of the fact that there were not the
proper facilities for disposing of the
refuse.
His worship said that It was not
of much concern to the council how
meat was brought here. All that they
were concerned about was to see
that the meat sold was in good shape.
The bylaw was referred to and it
was found that food unfit for use
might be seized.
Aid. Hilditch suggested that the
health officer be Instructed that the
council expected the bylaw enforced.
Aid. Pattullo suggested that the
mayor take this up with the health
officer and suggest that the laws be
enforced on consultation with tin
city solicitor.

Victoria, Aug. 19.—Sir Wilfrid
Laurier and party concluded their
visit to Victoria last night, leaving
on the Prince George for Prince Rupert during the night. Sir Wilfrid
is looking remarkably well after such
a long tour nnd it is evident that
the trip has done him good.
To Intimate friends he expressed
his pleasurable anticipation with respect to the voyage along the Pacific coast and the opportunity of seeing Northern British Columbia.
Yesterday was a very busy one for
the Prime Minister. In the forenoon
he received a number of deputations
and later accompanied by Hon. Ceo.

The Flowers Sent to Dr. Crippen

ffiocher de Bonle Is iteported to Have
Shown Galena of Excellent
Character
The summer's prosperity in the
wieinity of Hazelton is being at-
Boded with most gratifying results
»»d next summer should see a derided rush into that section of the
province which will be easily reached then by rail. There has been an
ilwence of reports from the Hazelton country of fabulous finds which
tends to establish more confidence
ia the character of the ore. Its development must mean much for
Prince Rupert.
Quite a wave of excitement was
created when W, S. Sargent return-
osl to town from the hills with news
at finding a vein of galena ore on
Rocher do Boule mountains, seven
ar eight miles south of town and
throe or four miles from the railway Une, says the Omlneca Herald of
Hazelton. He said the ledge Is from
fftree to eight feet wide and appears
tor a thousand feet in length and
(thai pieces of ore similar to the samples brought to town can be broken
off at any point. He and his part-
aers have located a group of seven
afkums in a formation of quartzite
sod gra. He, i u ny oor>'Yry aik»n
lis soon as Sarg nt tcld of h's linrt
aeveial prospectors left foi til' scene
and that part of the :tinge will be
imoroughly looked over in the text
Hew weeks.
Frank Brown, returning Friday
wening from the scene of the new
.itrike, says it is one of the biggest
ttlngs in the way of a raw prospect
lihat he has ever seen. The vein fi 11-
cing has been worn away and the
rails left standing, granite on one
aodfi. and quartzite on the other. He
iaraversed the ledge for a thousand
tfeet and for the entire distance
where the ore was not covered by
nfebris, good galena could be broken
aff at any point. Brown considers
the indications favorable for more
iJiscoveries and looks to see a camp
nf importance opened up in that vl-
ctinity, providing always that the sil-
ccwr values are as good as the general
average throughout the district.
The ladies of Quebec are criticised for sending flowers to Dr. Crippen. The good women might do
worse, says the Vancouver News-Advertiser. If flowers exert any influence over the fugitive it should
not be a vicious influence. , There
may be in Quebec many persons snut
in poor homes who would appreciate
such gifts more than Dr. Crippen.
Perhaps also Dr. Crippen may misinterpret the gift as a tribute of
admiration and approval of all that
he is said to have done. But It is
possible thai Hie beauty and purity
of the flowers may bring bitter
thoughts and aspirations to the mind
of the prisoner, even though he be
guilty, and that some .ague regrets
for the past nay come upon him.
hi the open country the flowei>, are
made to bloom impartially fo* the
hardened criminal and the sain*, of
God. So let the women send them
to Dr. Crippen, but it would do well
not to forget others who cannoi go
abroad to see them, who have not
had the advantage of a spectacular
arrest and are not awaiting a sensational trial.

the taxes due the province upon the
Unds in the city up to the date of incorporation when the city took over

recommended by the Board of Trade

U was decided to pay the account.
An extraordinary reminder of £.
fatal animal battle is shown by a
rare and unique trophy, a pair of
interlocked moose antlers, the result
of a deadly encounter between two
giant bull moose in the wilds of the
Cassiar mountains, British Columbia,
a year or so ago. Tois specimen Is
soon to be exhibited in die great collection of heads and horns now being brought together at the New
York zoological park, which comprises some of the largest game
heads of British Columbia, northern
Alaska and elsewhere.
During their duel the powerful
and enraged moose used their broadly palmated antlers as weapons of
offence and defence in a series of
tremendous charges and assaults
which they made upon each other. In
the course of the fierce encounter
the antlers became so firmly entangled and locked tint neither of
the combatants could ureak away.
A native hunter heard the I ,ud
clashing of the horns a half a mile
or so in the forest and star'ed for
the scene of the confilcf. At a distance, spellbound, he witnessed the
marvellous battle of tne two plants
battering and crashing into one another with the energy of two locomotives In a head-on collision. On
nearing the two antagonists he found
that one of the animals had broken
its neck during the struggle, and lay
dead on the ground, while the other
partly exhausted, was making Herculean efforts to release his horns.
The hunter then killed the living
moose, and tried by varloui, mechanical means, using a woodm wedge,
etc., to sepaiate the antlers, which,
however, was found to be i.n impossible task. He reported the duel between the moose to a neai-bj 'reding
post, and the two heads v/ere secured
and fortunately preserved. The animals were of gigantic size, probahly
ten or twelve years old, tie larger
pair of horns having a srread of
sixty-nine and one-half inches, and
the other sixty-two. This is said to
be the only instance where a pair of
giant moose antlers interlocked in
this wonderful manner have been
found and brought into civilization.

TO TEACH CRICKET
The Winnipeg Cricket Association
are going to ask the educational authorities of the city to allow cricket
to be taught in the public schools.
The boys might be taught worse
things and they are now probably
ticcght, some not a hit more useful
o. of greater educational value. If
anything has to be dropped in order
to make room for cricket, of course
it will not be one of the esentials
like the three R's. and If one or two
of the ologles are knocked off the
curriculum, no harm will be done.
If the reyaest of the association Is
granted, it is not likely that cricket
will be made compulsory. It will
be one of the optional subjects.
BIG GAME HUNTERS
There has just been launched at
Seattle a tunnelboat for William J.
McNeill, of Wrangell, for sen ice on
the Stikine river, northern British
Columbia. The boat has been named
the "Telegraph," and it will ply between Wrangell, In Alaska, end Telegraph, B.C., on the Stikine river. The
craft is one of the few tunnelboats
ever to be built on this coast, and
has been specially designed io navigate in shallow stream.. By an ingenious boxlike contrivance en- igh
water Is provided to allow f propu-
son where the ordinary propeller
would be unable to work. !t will be
operated on the Stikine river, between Wrangell and Telegraph, and
will carry pasengers, mails and general freight. Her design will specially
fit her for navigating the shallow
reaches of the Stikine rher.
Col. Parry, D.S.O., commander of
the Denbighshire Yoemanry, North
Wales, is at present on the coast,
preparatory to visiting the Cassfar
district to hunt hlg game. The ascent of the Stickine river to Telegraph creek will be made from
Wrangel, Alaska. The colonel expects to be six weeks in the north,
and is most anxious to secure a number of good trophies, including a
moose head. Col. Parry has hunted

Among other hunters seeking
sport are Mr. J. Bosenburg, a Norwegian, who is going to the Cassiar
district this fall, and Mr. Eustis Red-
cliffe, a well known English sportsman, who is now hunting grizzly in
the Kenai peninsula of Alaska.
RUBBER SUBSTITUTE
George Metcalf, of Ashburtoi N.
Z., claims to have Invented a substitute for rubber for cycle and motor
tires, more durable and cheape, than
rubber. He will go to London to

TRIP TO ENGLAND
A great sui prise was sprung on
the Montreal lacrosse players when
they turned out for their final practice before their match aaginst Toronto on Saturday.
President Findlay told the playevs
after the practice that If they again
captured the N. L. U. title this year,
it would mean a trip to the old ,o n
try for them. This announcement
was a great surpise to all the boys,
and all stated that they would play
harder than ever to capture the prize
offered by Mr. Findlay.
Mr. Findlay stated that he had
the plan of the trip m his mind lor
some time, and had several talks
posed with Manager Davidson. If the
Montreal twelve won tha championship it Is proposed to stait on the
trip about the end of Mai ■ Games
will be arranged to covei tin. expenses,' and the team will return
early in May, so as to be in good

the Canadian National Lawn Tennis
association. He formerly lived on
the coast and the following from the
Toronto World, In an account of the
match which ueclded the national
championship:—
"The shower which fell just as
the singles match was about to begin, by softening the court, helped
Foulkes' cut ground strokes to come
oft frequently, and puzzled Balrd,
who is accustomed to clay courts and
a fast-rising ball. However, after
the former had 2-0, Balrd assumed
the aggressive and took six straight
games, 18 aces to 8. The second set
was characterized by the resolute defence Foulkes offered, his great getting abilities and accuracy of return, and, towards the end, a lot of
clever net work with cross-court and
line volleys. In this set, Foulkes
6-2, the winner scored only 10 aces
to Balrd's 15. but put only one ball
each in the net and out of court.
The third set was the most beautiful, as well as the turning-point of
the match. Foulkes assumed the
aggressive, showing great generalship, getting to the net frequently,
and, though not smashing much, vcl-
leylng ^splendidly, his speed, direction and timing being admirable. He
had Balrd in difficulties frequently,
made the latter play his game, and
beat him at ".. He scored 18 aces to
Balrd's 10, with mistakes about even,
but scored when needed, winning at
6-2. It was now or never for Baird,
and he opened strongly with a lead
of 3-1. His overhead volleying now
was the best he showed, but Foulkes
proved a wenderful getter, refusing
to be beaten, and was returning
most of them safely, making it 3 all
and 4 all. Daird continued persistent smashing and took the next two
and the set at 6-4, Foulkes, when at
4-5 and 30-40, serving a double fault.
Aces were: Baird 16, Foulkes 7; two
sets all.
"It was during the critical set that
the prettiest net play was seen. Tbe
pace slowed down in an effort after
accuracy and the struggle for the net
was keen. Foulkes' generalship was
more apparent than ever, and his
patience, waiting stroke after stroke
for the exact moment to make a kill
was admirable, whereas Baird often
netted the ball in trying to kill off a
difficult stroke. The latter was plainly nervous, whereas the champion's
confidence was superb. One all and
two all were called, and after Baird
had 15 Foulkes scored 30 on two
lovely cross-courts, then Balrd
double faulted and Foulkes passed
him again, 3-2. From this on the
latter's ground-driving and his volleys ran him out the winner, 6-2, the
aces being even, but Balrd's mistakes
trebled the others. Keen as was the
disappointment, the applause for the
winner was general, and all appreciated the champion's remarks at the
prize-giving, that Baird was the best
player and sportsman he had ever
met."

THE ABSORPTION OF LIGHT
40 per cent of the light strikjng them
is thrown back. Dark green and rod
hangings eexreise precisely the same
Influence; they annihilate quite 85
per cent., only 15 per cent radiating
from them.
SALT IN BUTTER
For slightly salted butter salt Is
added by the process of brining
where the butter is made in small
quantities. Brine used In butter-
making Is usually made by dissolving one pound of salt In about one
gallon of clean water. A sufficient
quantity of brine is made and used
to thoroughly float the butter grains
In the churn, so that the latter may
be rotated several times without danger of the grains going together to
form a solid mass. Brine, when
freshly made, will be found to be
several degrees below the temperature of the water from which It was
made. This Is due to the salt absorbing heat from the water In dissolving. The low temperature of the
brine is a great advantage In reducing the temperature of the butter In
hot weather.
John P. Babcock, formerly deputy
commissioner of fisheries, who has
resigned his post with the govern
ment, has finally severed his connection with the province. He has left
for San Francisco to take up the Important position of superintending
the fisheries of California, a post in
which he will have 120 men under
him.

HENRY ESSON YOUNG,
A15 Provincial Secrtary.
A late Issue of Die Bauwelt says
the color of paper hangings and
tapestry is far from being a factor
of minor Importance In the degree
of light that prevails in a room, and
Is closely related to the economic
use of the artificial Illumination alsi.
In accordance with their colir, such
fabrics throw back into the 130111 a
part of the light that Is falling upon
them while they annihilate another
part, or absorb it, as the technical
phrase is. As the power of absorption of light rises In such a fnbric
so naturally In less degree Is the
rocm brightened and less advantageous is the use of artificial Illumination, a part of the money spent for
the latter being wasted for l.'ibt annihilated by the hangings.
The latest investigation reveals
that the absorption of light depends,
in the first instance, on the co'or of
the hangings, and therefore on the
same color when the walls are painted with It, too. aNturally the most
favorable effect of color in thhi regard Is afforded by the white hangings and paints, but even these absorb 50 per cent of the light falling
upon them, while the other 50 per
cent radiates back Into the room
Following these in the effect of light
come the yellow hangings which
radiate 45 par cent and annihilate 56
per cent. TT:e next in order are the
bright green, of which the power of
absorption rises to 60 per cent, while

The growth of the pig Iron production In Canada, as well as that of
the Dominion corporation, since 1901
Is clearly shown In the following

1902 348,600 191,000
1901 165,900 111,000
The above figures show the company has Increased its production of
pig iron from 111,000 tons in 1901
to 262,800 in 1908 and 255,900 in
1909, the slight loss in the latter
year as compared with 1908 being
due to the Inadequacy of thef uel su

1902 136,400 99,400
1901 ... i 33,300
The Dominon Company began to
turn out steel in 1902 when it totalled 99,400 tons, increased since then
to 296,750, an even greater gain than
that recorded In the pig iron production.
The government bounties on pig
iron and steel ingots expire on December 31 this year, and those on
wire rode, which were given in lieu
of tariff, on June 30, 1921. It is
thought that when the different
bounties are terminated they will be
replaced by a protective tariff, although the cessation of the bonuses
Indicates that the steel industry in
Canada Is thought to have establish-
er itself upon a firm and lasting
foundation.
To take care of future business,
the corporation has been carrying out
extensive plant alterations and Improvements, which will also materially reduce productive costs and increase the total capacity 50 per cent.
The first new work to reach completion Is the set of coke ovens which
embody all the Improvements of the
last ten years. There are 120 of
these, requiring the service of 5 6
men, and capable of turning out 720
tons of coke every twenty-four hours.
The 500 old ovens produce about
1,250 tons of coke a day.
Following these the open hearth
furnaces will be finished and will be
among the largest In the world, with
a capacity of 500 tons each. A new
power plant is under way, as well
as a finishing plant, which will consist of a continuous roughing mill
and Belgain train.
These improvements were provided for in the consolidated mortgage
bonds issued last year, about $2,-
285,000 of the $5,000,000 total being set aside for the purpose.
During the past four seasons, net
earnings have averaged about $2,-
327,715 a year, but after the different betterments have been completed the income account ought to show
a gain corresponding with the greater capacity.

SNOW WHITE WATER
In a report made to the United
States hydrographlc office at Port
Townsend an Inexplicable phenomenon, declared to be without precedent,
Is described. The statement Is filed
by Capt. II. Samuelson, of the American barkentlnc Aurora, on arrival
from Callao, Peru.
On June 27, In latitude 11 degrees
south and longtitude 80 west, according to the report, the vessel's course
brought her Into an area of snow-
white water. The expanse was so
large as to require nearly an entire
day's sailing to traverse.
Its merging with the natural ocean
was sharp and definitely defined In
color, creating a marvellous scene of
marine beauty. Investigation with
every means available failed to show
the phenomenon to be due to submarine volcanic eruption or other upheaval.
A bucket filled with the milk-white
liquid when left an hour on the bar-
kentlne's deck resumed a normal sea
water color.

a derelict ship's life-buoy on the

THE RECEPTION
Tomorrow the city of Prince Rupert will have as its guest Sir Wilfrid Laurler, the Prime Minister of
Canada. There is no question as to
the heartiness of that reception.
When Sir Wilfrid haB seen Prince
Rupert he will have completed his
westward tour and the homeward
trip will commence. There can be
no question that the visit to this city
was one of the main objects of his
tour. His railway policy which
brought Into existence the G. T. P.
was responsible for the springing up
of a city here. It was but natural
that he should desire to see for himself the point selected by the company
and approved by his government as
the place for a terminal port.
When he sees the harbor and gets
some idea of the potentialities of the
territory tributary to this port there
can be no doubt that the Prime Minister will be more than satisfied with
the choice.
In Prince Rupert, the farthest
west, Sir Wilfrid will find the most
western type of the Canadian people.
Whatever may be said of the Prime
Minister in times of political warfare,
there is no denying the fact that he
is of Canada and for Canada always.
He will find that the men of the extreme west are big enough to recognize merit whether it is in their own
particular political party or on the
other side. He has been shown that
farther south in British Columbia in
the capital and in Vancouver. He
will find that spirit high in Prince
Rupert.
The reception to the city is from
the citizens of Prince Rupert, and
not once in the arrangements has
there been the first evidence of the
introduction of party feeling into it.
It is becoming that this should be so.
There are plenty of opportunities for
the display of party feeling. On the
visit of the Prime Minister It has
been wisely decided to forget all differences and make the occasion one
to be remembered. The prayer of
every resident of the city will be that
Sir Wilfrid may long be spared to
serve his country and that this may
not be his last visit to the port. May
he live to see the city when its harbor
Is filled with deep sea shipping and
when it ranks as one of the greatest
seaports and Industrial centres in the
north.
o
CLEAN UP THE CITV
the Mov scons
Gen. Baden-Powell Explains Wlinl i
Aimed at in Organization
The suggestion has been made that
in view of the fact that there will,
during the remainder of this week
and the beginning of next, be a lot
of strangers in the city, it would be
advisable that there should be a general cleaning-up. There has been such
a'move made in various parts of the
townsite by civic and private corporations. There is still a lot to do
in a private way. It is not an easy
matter to keep a new city looking in
the best of shape, but it is possible
to do something along the line of
making it, appear to the best advantage, and this should be done at the
present time. Where the general
cleaning up has taken place the appearance has been enhanced very
materially. A little extension of the
campaign would further improve the
general aspect considerably.
o
DAUGHTERS OF THE EMPIRE)
The organization In this city of a
chapter of the Daughters of the Empire is a move on the part of the
ladies of the city that Is to becom-
mended. The objects of the organization are phllantrophlr and benefi-
cient. Further, it aims at breaking
down the barriers which may sometimes be found between the scattered parts of the Empire and uniting
in one organization the ladles of the
different, parts of that great nation.
The scope of the work In which the
organization can engage is wide
enough to adapt it to all parts and
with the patriotic principle always
kept to the front the effect upon tha
rising generations should he marked.
o
The governments of Italy and
Venezuela have salt monopolies and
prohibit the Importation or sale of
the commodity to private parties.
Pender Hall, Vancouver, was filled
to overflowing when Major-Geueral
Sir R. S. Baden-Powell was the guest
at luncheon of the Canadian Club a
few days ago. The general, who arrived with Commissioner J. A. May-
nes, was met by the officers of the
Canadian Club and a guard of honor
formed by the scout masters of Vancouver, and on entering the hall was
greeted with rounds of cheering and
applause.
"The boy scouts—those urchins
going around with poles, shorts and
cowboy hats—look like boys playing
a game," said the general, after acknowledging the exceeding warmth
of his reception. "So they are from
their point of view at first, but there
is a great deal underlying that game.
We don't try to make soldiers or
sailors of them. Our main object is
the making of good citizens. That,
you wil admit, is a larger object than
making soldiers, because It makes
them patriots In the first place and
soldiering and sailoring will come after that In their place. •
"We try to make them good citizens by methods which appeal to the
boys themselves, and all the time we
are building up character.
"In the old country, he continued
"they sought to lift the children of
the slums from their surroundings,
to bring out their Individual value,
to save them becoming members of
the great army of unemployed and
unemployable which was now a canker at the heart of the Empire. They
encouraged hoys in the knowledge of
handicrafts, to lift them on the road
when they would become useful
members of society, with the ability
to use their wits and their hands.
In this country the need in that direction was not as great, but It was
acknowledged by their neighbors to
the south that what was needed in
the younger generation on this side
was discipline, and the boy scout
movement worked for that outside
of the school walls. They sought to
mould men—patriotic and chivalrous
men."

E. S. Busby, Inspector of customs, has returned from a trip to
Dawson, where he made an official
inspection of the various offices
along the route. He has also visited
.Masset and looked into conditions at
the office that exists there. Mr.
Busby Is now In Stewart where a
new office was opened by him a few
weeks ago. In the Yukon, where he
was formerly located, he found the
outlook very bright. The putting In
of a power plant at Coal Creek to
run the necessary machinery that Is
intended to supply electricity to the
different mining sections, Is looked
upon as sure to meet e decided want
and the most optimistic feeling prevails. It will mean cheap power, it
is felt, and will enable the individual
miners to again operate the properties they control.

Hon. Price Ellison, minister of
lands for British Columbia and party
have returned from a six weeks' trip
tftrough the interior of Vancouver
Island, during which the party
climbed Crown Mountain, the first
time this feat has been accomplished.
Referring to the trip, the minister of
lands said:—
"It Is the grandest scenery I have
ever seen. The Kicking Horse Canyon through the Rocky Mountains is
not to be compared with the lakes,
rivers, glaciers and mountains and
the awe-inspiring scenes witnessed
by us in our trip through the island
interior, where a tract containing
240 square miles has been reserved
by the government as a provincial
park."
The party entered the interior of
the Island by way of Campbell River,
from which point the members proceeded by trail to Mclvor's Lake,
some two miles above the great falls
where a company with a capital of
$2,000,000 will install a plant and
distribute power to all towns on the
island as far south as Victoria. It is
also reported that the E. & N. will
take power from this company and
electrify the island lines.
From Mclvor's Lake, Minister Ellison and party proceeded to Buttle
Lake, where quite a stay was made
waiting for the party of six under
Captain Roberts that was to go in by
way of Alberni and unite with the
Ellison party at this point. The Ellison party was tired of waiting and
had their packs ready for a start
when the Roberts party was found.
It was very fortunate for the party of
Captain Roberts that the one dog
belonging to the party barked as he
always did whenever the party made
a start on a day's journey, for the
Roberts party heard the dog and
speedily joined the main camp, almost famished, not having a scrap of
food'left/ ' . '
Leaving his surveyors and their
men at Buttle Lake, where they are
now engaged In surveying t,he park,
Mr. Ellison, his daughter, and party
climbed Crown Mountain which from
recent surveys has been found to
be located within the limits of the
proposed park, and not within the
railway belt, as heretofore supposed.
Mr. Ellison's report to the government will favor the Immediate construction of a roadway in to the park
by way of Campbell River, and later
on, if found practicable, by way of
Alberni. The park will, says Mr. Ellison, be an asset to the province as
an attraction to tourists.

Teachers' Salaries
Victoria.—That the salaries paid
the local teaching staff of the public
schools is, in comparison with the
salaries 'paid in other cities of the
Dominion, inadequate, and that some
of the best local teachers have had
overtures made to them by outside
boards,' was the basis of the belief
held by Trustee A. B. McNeil that
salaries here will have to be raised
iii thfe near future if Victoria is to
secure' the best material in the teaching line.
Tnis question of salary arose at
the regular meeting of the school
board, when two appointments were
made to the teaching staff. Some
objection was made to the salary
which is was suggested should be
paid to one of the appointees. Trustee
McNeil pointed to the difficulty in
securing first-class teachers. At
present the teachers putting in applications for positions on the local
staff do not appear to be of as high
quality as formerly, and this he as-
scribed to the fact that other cities
have raised the salaries paid and
are attracting the best of the teachers looking' for positions, leaving
only the less qualified for the positions offering here.
This view was held by several
other members of the board, and
from the opinions expressed It looks
very much as If the question of
salary increases will be an Important
one when the board considers the
matter at the end of the year.

Although the British public maintain an admiralty and a navy reputed
to be the finest and strongest n. the
world, and spend some forty millions
a year on their fleet, no organization
in this country yet exists to settle
how tbat navy Is to be used in time
of war, writes H. W. Wilson, In the
London Dally Mall. It,exists for no
other purpose than defending British
Interests by destroying the armed
forces of the enemy. Yet Just as
there is a right and a wrong way
of using a cricket bat or a golf club,
so there Is a right and a wrong way
of using a navy In war. And If the
navy Is used In the wrong way, instead of destroying It may be destroyed, -ji ''. i. i
In other navies special departments exist, known as admir&l. staffs,
general staffs or naval war staffs, for
tbe special purpose of determining
how these various fleets shall be employed In war. These departments
are freed from the routine work of
administration in time of peace, and
are given the time and liberty to
frame a plan of campaign after a
profound study of war and the possible enemy's forces. These are
usually modelled upon the German
general staff, which was the creation
of Scharnhorst and Clausewltz, the
heroes to whom Germany owes her
great military greatness, and which
was developed to the highest pitch
of efficiency by Moltke.
No Special Staff
The British navy has no such department, though even the navies of
both Sweden and Russia now possess
general staffs to frame plans for war.
The British admiralty is not the organization in question; rather Is it,
as Lieut. Dewar has said, a board of
directors whose entire time is taken
up with details of daily administration. We may look in vain through
the lists of our admiralty departments for an admiral staff or a
naval war staff, for an operations
bureau or for an historical section.
The germ of the thing we require
Is there. It Is true, in the department
of naval Intelligence. But It Is only
the germ. The fully developed organism is wanting. ,
For want of this organization, the
British navy has been compared to a
body which has no brain. The comparison Is a little unjust to a noble
service. We should say, rather, that
the British navy Is a body with an
undeveloped brain. The politicians
rather than the navy officers are to
blame. They still put their faith in
the glorious principle of "muddling
through," which is now peculiar and
sacred to the Anglo-Saxon peoples,
because they have not yet grasped
the overwhelming importance of or-
ganiaztion for war before battle is
joined, or realized that no human
precaution should be neglected, now
that the loss of a single war or even
a single battle may level in the dust
empires the growth of centuries.
Evading Enemy
Lest it be said that we are talking
Mildly in declaring that no one knows
how the British navy Is to be used,
some proofs of that statement may
given. The average man has a hazy
idea that on the outbreak of war the
British fleet will up anchor and attack the enemy. What should he
say if he knew that quite recently
the plan of withdrawing all the Britisli large ships from the North sea
lo Lamlash, on the west coast of
Scotland, was seriously discussed? It
was an original scheme. To avoid
being hurt by hostile destroyers and
submarines, our battleships were to
get out of harm's way instead of
trying to hurt the enemy. This was
not Nelson's Idea of war, not Napoleon's, nor Grant's, nor Moltke's.
Nelson did not run away and hide
in some remote part in the most critical moments of the Trafalgar campaign. If he had so done he would
certainly have been shot; but, of
course, such a move on his part
would have been absolutely unthinkable. J
That it should have been discussed
instead of being laughed indignantly
out of court, Is proof that there Is
something wrong with our ideas of
naval war and our teaching of naval
strategy. But this Incident does not
stand alone. The first lord of the admiralty only this year declared that
the uses of the navy fell under the
following heads:—Destruction of the
enemy's commerce; protection of
British commerce, convoying an invading army (only he added we had
none to convoy); and the protection
of our shores against a convoyed
force. In all this, not one single mention of the armed naval forces of
the enemy. "There would," he said,
"be no advantage in destroying ships
of war unless thereby we obtained
control of the commerce."
Teachings of Past
Yet the principle which shines
forth like a sun from the operations
of all past wars is that If you destroy the armed forces of the enemy
all other things shall be 'added to
you. If you leave the ap-med forces
of a strong enemy Intact .you will
fall In every point. 'j
Thus Mr. McKenna holds a doctrine of naval war entirely at variance with the teachings of the past,
entirely at variance with the teachings of the ablest British and foreign thinkers of today. It would be
unjust to blame him excessively for
such errors. He is an administrator,
so burdened with the conduct of daily
affairs as to have no time for a profound study of strategy. But what
an amazing state of affairs that there
is no organization at the admiralty
to supply him with tbe right principles, and how surprising that he
dees not at once create such a body!
Hbw disquieting the discovery that
the nominal chief of the navy does
not clearly understand for what purpose a navy exists!
Lord Chas. Beresford's Charges
A third piece of evidence that
there is no clear idea among naval
officers as to the use of the fleet in
war time. Is given by the report of
the cabinet committee which last
year examined the charges brought
stated that its members had been im-
by Lord Charles Beresford. It
pressed "with the differences of opinion among officers of high rank concerning strategy and tactics."
Strategy is the science of employing
fleets or armies before actual fighting begins; tactics is the art of conducting the fighting. Where there
should have been unity of sentiment
on these vital points there was
anarchy. Is a fleet in which professional anarchy obtains certain to win
in battle, or organized for war?
Fourthly, there is the fact that
Lord Charles Beresbord aserted In
1909 that the fleet In home waters
was not organized for war when he
assumed command of the channel
fleet, and that he was unable to obtain any strategical scheme or plan
for the disposal in war of the forces
under his command." It Is true that
the cabinet committee found against
him on these heads, but with some
uncertainty. For It admitted that
what plans existed were not Ideal.
Let us divorce from our minds the
idea that the conduct of affairs at
the admiralty.or the exercise of fleets
teaches the whole art of naval war.
The sea lords of the admiralty are
so overwhelmed with, work of all
kinds that they have not time to
study war, and we have seen that
they have no organization to give
them the help which they need. The
commanders of fleets have the help
of able staff officers afloat, but they
are without the guidance and assistance which an admiral staff would
give by working out and testing plans
of campaign and inspiring a sound
theory of war. Peace manoeuvres,
however realistic, must differ enormously from the "real thing," and
to win in the "real thing" our of-
ncers need the best theorists at their
tacks, strategists who have assimilated history.
Navnl War Staff
The cabinet committee last August
urged that a naval war staff should
be formed. Nothing has been done,
and for that the cabinet must be
blamed. But it is unfortunate to find
so able and distinguished a writer
on naval war as Admiral Sir Cyprian
Bridge, writing in the Naval Annaitl
what hasty readers will take to be
naval war staff. His words do not
an unsparing condemnation of a
really mean what they seem to Import. He Is inveighing against a
mere tame copy of a German Institution, and there we may agree
with him. And even he admits that
the admiralty Is not at present organized for war. Only his remedy
is to revolutionize the admiralty and
go back to the arrangements of a
century ago.
There will be many who will hold
that evolution Is better than revolution. There Is no reason why a war
staff should not be fitted into the
present admiralty, or why under the
first sea lord, and responsible to him,
should not be placed the various
sub-departments required, each other
a director—Intelligence of foreign
navies, operations, history, strategy,
material In its relations to war, war
college, etc. The chief of the staff
would be directed to draw up a plan
of campaign which would be sub-
LIGHTING STREETS
City Council is Now Engaged in Deciding
Upon Best System to
Adopt.
Engineer Reports Upon tbe Cost—
Private Company Makes a
Proposition
In compliance with the request of
the city council, the city engineer on
Tuesday night submitted a report on
the expense of operating the temporary lighting plant In the city. The
report was as follows:—
"I have obtained from the proprietor of the sash and door factory
a proposal to rent the boiler and engine now In use at the factory to the
corporation for the purpose of generating power for electric lighting.
I estimate the cost of operating
the plant as follows:—
Rental of boiler and engine
for one year $3,650
Fuel, 912% tons 7,300
Water, oil, waste, etc 200
Total $11,150
Two engineers at $225 per
month $2,700
One laborer 1,000
One superintendent 1,800
Maintenance of pole lines, etc
Depreciation
$5,500
250
331
" $581
Total cost $17,231
Income
Assuming that 80 h.p. is available
the city could supply 600 carbon
lamps to consumers, or 100 Tungsten lamps. Time may be taken as
seven hours per day for the winter
months, and three hours per day for
summer months.
With a charge of 15 cents per k.w.
hour, the gross receipts for winter
months would be $11,497.50, and
for summer months $4,927.29 or a
total of $16,424.79, leaving a balance of $806.21 to be charged
against the street lighting account.
With reference to the plant to be
located at the foot of McBride street,
and estimated to cost $30,000: The
annual expense of operation, including depreciation, would be $18,272,
the installation of this plant would
require six months time so that little
revenue would be obtained the first
year. Assuming that 2,000 lamps
are In after the first year, the revenue would be about $32,000.
WM. MAHLON DAVIS,
City Engineer.
Aid. Smith said he had asked a
local men to be present and would
ask tbat he be heard. Mr. Durant, he
said, would offer, if given a 10-year
contract to give the city power delivered at the city limits, the city
being given an option to purchase
at the end of ten years at fifty per
cent of the cost.
Mr. Durant being asked to address
the council, said his company could
supply power within about four
months. He had Vancouver capital
interested and a gas producer plant
would be put in, starting with a
800 kilowatt plant, which might he
Increased. They could furnish power
at twelve cents per kilowatt hour.
Mr. Waller, representing the Vancouver interests, would he here next
week and he asked that the matter
be allowed to stand over until Mr.
Waller arrived.
A rate of 12c per k.w. hour would
represent a cost of 3c per 16 c.p.
lamp for five hours or \ery nearly as
cheap as the eastern cities. They
could also put in a low figure for
power to be used In the day time.
The city engineer was called In
and a full discussion followed.
Aid. Mobley moved that the engineer be instructed to compile data
as to the cost of tbe necessary machinery for distributing the electric
energy. The question of getting
fiower could be decided later but the
machinery must be had at any rate.
Aid. Lynch said that the engineer
should also take up the question of
installing another fifty horsepower
boiler along side tbe one in the sash
and door factory now. That would
enable the city to use the full 125
horsepower engine in the factory.
Aid. Smith thought the proposition
submitted by Mr. Durant was worthy
of consideration. He would second
Aid. Mobley's motion.
Aid. Naden pointed out that It
would be necessary to put a bylaw to
the people to pay for the plant.
Aid. Mobley suggested that there
would be $9,000 left In the general
fund this year to pay for the electric
light plant.
Aid. Pattullo moved that the city
take steps at once to procure the old
pole line If It ts possible to get It
reasonably without going to arbitration.
Aid. Smith said the company had
already been asked to submit a proposition to the city, but they have
not yet done so.
The engineer was asked what the
cost would be per 16 candle power
lamp If the street lamps were put
In at the same price as the house
lamps. After he had figured It out
the engineer reported that it would
cost a little less than 8 cents per
k.w. hour, or about 4c per 16 candle-
power lamp per seven hours. This
would mean that the street lighting
would cost $9,395 per annum and
the revenue from the private consumers would be $7,836 per year.

THE WARD SYSTEM
Aid. Pattullo Introduces Bylaw to Divide
the City for Electoral
Purposes.
'il
Measure is Now Before the Council
—Will be Further Considered
In Committee
mltted to the first sea lord for his
approval. And to prevent the staff
from stlrlle theorizing, to give purpose and reality to its studies, It
should be clearly understood that In
war the chief of the staff will embark
with the main fleet and in person see
his plan carried out. We must never
forget that a council Imposed on
the Spanish Admiral Cervera in 1898
a plan which was simply suicidal-—
a plan of which this council would
never have dreamed bad It been called upon to carry It out; and that
precisely the same occurred with
Admiral Rojesvcnsky in 1904.
Aid. Pattullo at Wednesday evening's meeting of the city council
introduced a bylaw that foreshadows
the election. It is the bylaw to divide the city Into wards which Is a
necessary move before the next council is elected according to the municipal clauses act. Of necessity the
division now made must be only temporary as the centres of population
will change from time to time necessitating amendments to meet the altered conditions.
Aid. Pattullo explained In connection with his bylaw last night that
the act required that the wards
should be such that the assessed
value of the property In each was
approximately similar. If this were
not the case the council might be
called upon to amend the bylaw.
He had found It difficult to carry
this out on account of the heavy
assessment on some of the waterfront blocks. He had considered the
matter carefully and thought tbfe
system of two wards the best. Fulton street would, roughly speaking,
be the dividing line.
The line would leave the waterfront In the G.T.P. wharf section,
following Sixth street to Second avenue. It would continue along Second avenue to Fulton, follow that
street to Ninth avenue and pass
along the alley between blocks 42
and 43 in section five. Ward one
would be the section westerly of this
line, while ward two would be that
easterly of the line.
It was found difficult to make a division that would give equal assessment and yet be divided by a line
that could readily be designated
without considerable study. The assessment in this division he proposed
would be over $6,000,000 in ward
one and over $8,000,000 in ward two.
He proposed that there should be
three aldermen elected from ward
one and five from ward two, This
would be a fair division of the representation.
Aid, Mclntyre asked why McBride
street was not made the dividing
line.
Aid. Pattullo explained Hint if thai
were done there would be a wide disparity between the assessments of
the wards owing to the waterfronl
of the G.T.P. being placed so high.
Tbe bylaw was considered In committee at some length, after which
the committee rose and reported
progress.

APPRECIATE WORK
Hans Helgeson Retires From Fishing
Department on the

Testimonial to His Ability Paid by
Those Engaged in the Industry
On That River
part-
Hans Helgeson, who has been fishery overseer on the Skeena for about
ten years, has retired from that position. He visited Prince Rupert this
week and will leave shortly for Victoria.
At the borne of J. T. C. Williams at
Port Essington a few days ago, Mr.
Helgeson' was presented with a gold
headed cane and a purse of over $600
by those Interested In the fishing Industry In recognition of the valuable
assistance he had been to the industry. An address was presented
Mr. Helgeson in which the cannery-
men set forth their appreciation of
his work. The address was as follows:—
"We, the undersigned owners and
operators of canneries on the Skeena
River, wish on the eve of your retirement from the public position you
have held so long and honorably to
express our deep sense of appreciation of your unvarying civility and
willingness at all times to oblige,
your high sense of justice and in>
tegrlty. hu.,
"During your ten years of service
as fishery overseer for the Dominion
Government, you have acted with
the strictest Impartiality, giving all
of us a "square deal" and during
times of critical Importance to the
salmon fisheries of the Skeena river
your sound judgment has always
been much appreciated by us.
"We also wish to take this opportunity to express to you our sincere
thanks for the active and important
part you played in obtaining the
permanent prohibition of the Babine
barricades. We realize that through
your efforts combined with those of
the department this terrible engine
of destruction to the salmon was ob-
liberated for all time; consequently
with the strict enforcement of the
weekly close season an abundance of '
salmon is allowed to reach the
spawning grounds, enabling the1 Indians in tbe interior to obtain a more
abundant supply for their needs.
"And we are of the unanimous
opinion that the present magnificent
run of salmon, a run, we believe, unprecedented In the history of the
Skeena River canneries, Is due in a
great measure to the removal of the
celebrated Babine barricades, and we
trust that the department will continue to remove other obstructions
until they make the Skeena River
the grandest salmon stream on the
coast.
"We close our testimonial with
the sincere and earnest hope that the
evening of your long and useful life
will be spent In the peace and happiness which follows an honorable
career."

PREMIER'S POWER
Some of the Characteristics of Sir Wil
frid Laurier That Have Made
Him Popular.
The City's Visitor is a Model Party
Leader, Understanding Political
Game Perfectly
The visit of the Rt. Hon. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, G.C.M.G., P.C., to
Prince Rupert attracts attention to
the personality of the Prime Minister of Canada. The following Is of
special interest at this time: '
Sir Wilfrid Laurier has served his
country in its parliaments for thirty-
nine years. He entered the Legislature of Quebec on November 7, 1871,
as member for Athabaska. In 1874
he was elected to the House of Commons from ihe same district. Three
years later, October 8, 1877, entered
the cabinet with the portfolio of inland revenue. The following day he
presented himself for re-election and
on October 27, when the polls closed
It was found that he had been defeated by a majority of twenty-nine
votes. On November 28 he was returned from Quebec East, and has represented that constituency till this
day, writes Andrew McPhail.
On September 17, 187S, the government was defeated by a majority
of eighty-six. On October 9, Mr.
Mackenzie resigned office, and on
April 28, 1SS0, he retired from the
leadership of the opposition. He was
succeeded by Edward Blake, and he
in turn retired June 2, 1SS7. Sir
Wilfrid Laurler was unanimously
chosen leader on June 7, and has occupied that place for twenty-three
years. In 1896 the LiberalB were returned to parliament in the majority
and their leader became prime minister, a post which he still holds.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier was born on
November 20, 1841, at St-Lin, in the
county of Assomption. His father
was a land surveyor. His grandfather was a farmer, yet interested in
mathematics and the science of those
days. His mother was Marcelle Mar-
tlneau. Her only child was Wilfrid,
and she died when he was four years
old. On May 13, 1868, he married
Zoe Lnfontaine, of Montreal. That a
man Is born and is married—these
are two of Ihe four events of real Importance In hi* life,
The most notable servants of the
crown in the overseas dominions are
Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Mr. Louis
Botha, and neither is of English
birth. They are the most useful on
that account. In the first speech
which Sir Wilfrid ever delivered in
parliament he declared that, under
the B ii .sh constitution, we had freedom, privilege and power. It was the
finest under which men ever lived,
and especially fitted to unite citizens
of different races, nationalities, and
religions. These sentiments were uttered nearly forty years ago, and
the speaker has never since departed
from them. Unless one gains a close
apprehension of this central thought,
he can form no estimate of what Sir
Wilfrid Laurler has done for Canada
and for the world. Still less can one
follow the course which he has consistently pursued.
He is not an idealist. He Is a practical statesman who prefers to get a
thing done in the best way it can be
done rather than not get it done at
all. He Is not fond of the impossible. What he can not effect by persuasion be never attempts to do by
force. He is fully aware how complicated a business the world Is, how
selfish some men are and how foolish
all are. For both he has an Immense
toleration. He is always amused but
never annoyed; and with all his experience, his experience has not made
bis hopeless en- sad. lie is n man
or vision, of Imagination, and yet be
bus never brought himself to really
believe thai the men by whom he Is
Burrounded are angels, no matter
how faithfully hecmay defend them,
or thai his opponents are always
hopelessly In the wrong.
Possibly the education which he received in his youth may help to account for his sagacious and sympathetic attitude lowards all opinions
no matter how absurd they may
seem. The motherless boy attended
the elementary school of bis native
parisli till ho was twelve years old.
Then he spent n year at a Protestant
school at Xow Glasgow, and lived
with an Irish family. Much of bis
leisure was spent in the bouse of
John Murray, who was an elder In
the church of Scotland and bad been
educated for its ministry. In proof of
this surmise his own words may be
quoted: "The pure family life and
the godly conduct of the Murrays Impressed me and convinced me that a
Protestant can be an earnest, true
Christian, as well as a Catholic."
The next seven years were spent In
L'Assomption College, one of those
Institutions which are the last refuge
of education on the American Continent. In 1861 he entered McGill University, and graduated from the
faculty of law at the expiration of
his course. In the valedictory address
which he made to his fellow students
he charged them that their mission
was to cause justice to reign; to separate the true from the false; to
maintain the rights of citizens; to
preserve the general peace; to preserve for the family its inheritance,,
the Individual his honor, for the public the just repression of offences; to
hold within limits the audacity of the
powerful; and to relieve the wretchedness of the weak, without violence
to the one, or Indulgence to the
other.
He was brought up In a hard
school. Before he was yet 30 he was
in the thick of real political and religious strife. Politics Was not then
a question of awarding a contract or
filling an office. The issue was
whether free born men should govern
themselves, or whether they should
be governed by the terms of the
"Programme Catholique" which was
the last political expression of ultra-
montism, or by the "Protestant Defence Association," or by both.
Those were the days, tooj when
Canada was a congeries of widely
separated provinces with different or
hostile interests. The sound of the
"Papineau gun" had scarcely died
out; Lyon Mackenzie's efforts had not
yet fully decided if the executive was
to be subject to the control of parliament, or if it would surrender to the
people the privileges which it had
usurped and had insolently retained.
It is little wonder, then, that Sir Wilfrid learned how to handle himself
as he does in a debate over the production of some papers, we shall say,
or at an imperial conference where
the choicest wits of the empire are
assembled.
Sir Wilfrid Laurler came to the
scrutiny of British institutions with
a fresh eye; and he was quick to discover the high place which government by party holds. Before a party
can govern it must get Into power;
and if it would continue- to govern It
must stay in power. Sir Wilfrid never
forgets that, whilst he is prime minister, he is also leader of a party,
and he is as sedulous in performing
the duties of the one as of the other.
Anyone who supposes that he does
not understand the management of a
campaign will find himself sadly mistaken; and opponents who resort to
subtlery, adroitness, and skill in contriving are very likely to find themselves over-matched.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier always tells the
truth, or, rather, he never says a
thing which is not true. At times he
allows his opponents to remain in
doubt, or even as victims of their
own misconception. Yet one would
not say that he was entirely simple-
minded in political affairs. He can
manage a campaign or a debate in
parliament with equal ease, his favorite method being to encourage his
opponents to raise a cloud of dust In
which they cannot find their way.
That plan worked to perfection in
the debate upon the Naval Bill.
And yet, on the other hand, he has
i mind of extreme Innocence, directness, and—I had almost said—simplicity. He has the faculty of getting
hold of a thing by the right end, of
seeing into the heart of a matter, and
handling his material in the most natural and, therefore, easiest way. He
gives the impression which one receives upon beholding a practised
craftsman engaged in tasks which to
the inexperienced are Impossible or
done only with much labor.
It Is easy to know what he will do
in any given case. All one has to
do is to ask one's self, what Is the
common sense of the thing. Then
one knows what course the premier
will take, whether It be a question
of giving schools to Protestants or to
Catholics, making a treaty, building a
navy, sending armed forces oversea,
or providing for the consolidation and
defence of the empire. But be must
not be hurried. No one understands
belter the solving power of time upon political problems.
No man In Canadian public life has
received more attention at the hands
of political culmlnators. He has
been blamed by Protestants for be-
Ing a good Catholic, and he has been j
accused by Catholics of being a bad I
Catholic. At one election it was
affirmed thai he was a Protestant
minister, apostate and a companion of the ex-communicated,
The English have blamed him for!
speaking French; and his own poo-i
pie have blamed him for speaking'
French with an English accent. All
of which means that he Is a man first
and a Catholic and Frenchman afterwards. Even the crime of treason
has been laid to his charge; but all
the notice his detractors received was
a sad smile and a few chance reflections upon their foolishness rather than upon their wickedness. In
forty years, however, no opponent has
been so base as to utter a slander
which touched his personal honor,
the purity of his private life, or the
righteousness of his character.
He has opponents but no enemies,
and that is the richest achievement
of a man who has been in public life
nearly all his days. In the tortuous
course of the political way, no matter how sudden the emergency, he
has never been known to utter an Ill-
natured expression and rarely a
harsh one.
His knowledge is so exact, his mastery of public affairs so great, and
the discipline of his party so firm
that parliament Is disposed to rely
more absolutely than It ought upon
the direction of one Individual. In
this Sir Wilfrid has the defect of
his quality.
To write the life of Sir Wilfrid
Laurier is to write the history of
Canada for half a century. This is
not the present Intention, especially
as the task has already been so admirably performed by Mr. Willison;
but rather to give a view from near
observation of the person of a great
and faithful servant of the people of
Canada and of the British corwn.
But no expanse of writing can convey a complete idea of his humorous
face, his expression which is more
than quaint and not quite whimsical,
his old-world way of standing and
moving, his gentle courteous bearing,
his affable, complaisant, winsome,
cheery manner, which may all be
summed up in the word, debonair.
Lady Laurier is no less interesting
a figure than her husband. She gives
one the impression of being in her
own home entertaining her neighbors. The friendly frankness of her
speech, the accuracy of her comment,
the shrewd wit, the justness of her
opinions, especially upon the conduct
proper to women is a refreshment,
the more especially when it is heard
in so high a quarter. Lady Laurier
would be a model premier in a parliament of women, though 1 fear the
deliberations would not be very prolonged.
The French have a word, non-
home, that is, a person who is in
possession of a bonhommie, which is
a mixture of good nature, honesty,
humor, wisdom and simplicity. Such
a person one may sometimes see sitting by his door in the evening of his
life having done good in his time and
quietly rejoicing in his labor. I
should say that this term, which was
one applied to him by Mr. Thomson,
more accurately than any other defines Sir Wilfrid.

THE PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL
CONSERVING RICHES
Waste in Various Directions is Common
Canadian Enterprises.
in
Some of the Most Common Ways in
Which Savings Might be
Effected
There are many ways in which
Canada is wasting her natural resources, and the means by which this
waste can be eliminated is one of the ■
most Important questions of the day.
As regards the mineral resources,
greater care should be taken to obtain the greatest possible value out
of tbe mineral deposits, as these,
once exhausted, can nerer be replaced. The mineral Industry Is
rapidly growing in Importance, the
output of the Canadian mines having increased from fourteen and a
half million dollars In 1889 to ninety
million dollars in 1909. The country's relatively high standing In tbe
production of the several metals was
shown last year in the fact that she
produced eleven per cent of tbe
world's production of silver, sixty-
three per cent of the world'B nickel,
and seventy per cent of the asbestos.
The waste In the coal mining Industry stood out very prominently, It
being estimated that up to the present date, for every ton of coal mined
one was lost. The briquetting of the
slack from the mines, the use of
coke ovens that would save the va'-
uable by-products, and the adoption
of the long wall method of mining,
which permits a saving of from nine
to twenty-four per cent of the quantity mined, would do a great deal to
eliminate these losses. The need of
more economy in the mining of coal
Is amply demonstrated in the rising
price of anthracite.
When the Cobalt mines began
operations, the low-grade ore was
thrown In vast heaps along with the
rocK and waste. Now many of the
mines are going to the expense of re-
handling these 'dumps" In order to
secure the silver contained In them.
The tailings from the 240,000 tons
mll'ed this year will carry nearly
one and a half million ounces of silver. By the end of 1910 there will
be upwards of 2,200,000 ounces In
the dumps, worth, at present prices,
upwards of one and a quarter million dollars. The continual Improvement in methods for utilizing low-
grade ores has shown the folly of
throwing away ore containing mineral content of any value.
The supply of timber In our forest
reserves has been found to have been
greatly overestimated, owing to the
assumption that the forests, containing high-grade timber, extended to
the far north. Prince Edward's
island has practically no timber, only
one-fourth of Nova Scotia's area Is
virgin forest, New Brunswick's timber lands have been devastated by
disastrous fires, and the pine in the
Ontario reserves, at the present rate
of cutting, Is estimated to last not
more than ten or twelve years. In
Northern Ontario, Northwestern
Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and
British Columbia forest fires have
been responsible for extensive damages.
The problem of how to cope with
forest fires Is one that demands Immediate attention. Where railways
traverse the country, the locomotive
starts more fires than any other
agency. In the Adirondack forest reserve, the only railway that had been
free from fires had used oil fuel during the summer. Electrical operation through forest lands has been
proposed, but this, In most cases, is
too expensive. The number of forest fires started by railways would he
greatly reduced If the right-of-way
were cleared of inflammable debris.
Fires do not start In the forests of
Germany although railways run
through them. In Canada It would
be an Injustice to force the railways
to burn oil-fuel on account of the
high cost, bul It is not too much to
demand that they clear the right-of-
way and keep It clear; that, during
the fire season, they patrol their
tracks, following up the trains particularly where the heavy grades
necessitate a maximum draught, and
' that they Inspect their grates and,
stack screens at the end of each division. In dry weather an engine with
a defective grate or screen will set
scores of fires on every mile of line.
The land of the country deserves
most careful attention. Five hundred and thirty-three million dollars
represented the value of our field
crops last year, whl'e the agricultural exports amounted to fifty-one
per cent of Canada's total exports for
the year. The average wheat yield
last year was twenty-one and a half
bushels to the acre, comparing favorably with the fifteen and three-quarters bushels per acre in the United
States, but, gratifying as it was, it
was due principally to the fact that
we are putting so much virgin soil
In operation each year, and not to
any improved methods of farming.
The people should not be blinded
to the absolute necessity of modern
methods in farming, to better crot
rotation and for methods of keeping
down noxious weeds and exterminating Insect pests.
The water powers of Canada have
not been appraised at their true
value. Roughly speaking, they have
been estimated at seventeen million
horsepower. Although only about
one-half million horse-power of this
has been developed, It nevertheless
provided power equivalent to one and
one-half times all the coal annually
used in Ontario. Extensive storage
basins are under way on the Ottawa
river and the Alberta irrigation enterprises will be the most important
feature in the agricultural development of tbat province.
What scientific medicine has done
to increase the length of life of the
average Individual Is shown by statistics covering the last four centuries.
In tbe sixteenth century the average
life span was twenty-one years, by
the eighteenth century It was Increased to thirty-three and one-half
years, and today It stands at forty
years. But there Is yet a tremendous work for preventive medicine
to do. There are at the present
time 250,000 people in Canada suffering from serious illness, of wrom
42,000 are consumptives. Probably
over half this Illness Is preventable.
Our annual mortality from tuberculosis is about 13,200, from other
diseases, commonly known as preventable, 26,000, and from other diseases now being recognized as preventable, 36,000.
Assuming that three-fourths of the
mortality from tuberculosis and
other preventable dis^s.ii- lan be
stopped, it has been estimated that it
would Increase our average length of
life over fifteen years. Assuming,
also, the value of each life lost to be?
$1,700, and the average wage loss
per Invalid to be $700 per annum,
the economic gain would be $140,-
000,000.

Professor of Leland Stanford University
is Making Investigations Into
Life History.
He Will Prepart a Book on the Subject From Information Gathered
on Coast
Official of Department Speaks of the
Number Entering From V. S.
On a tour of the northern part of
the prairie provinces which he is
taking for the purpose of gathering
information at first hand with regard to prevailing crop conditions
and also with regard to the districts
which will offer the best inducements
to the American settler, W. J. White
of Ottawa, Dominion inspector of
American Immigration agencies,
visited Edmonton. The Information
gathered on his extensive Itinerary
In which he has been engaged dur-
Ing the past ten days and which It
will require as much more time to
complete, will be conveyed to the Immigration agents at the offices main
tained by the Dominion government
throughout the United States, and
will be used by them In their campaign to swell the influx of American
settlers Into the Canadian West.
"We are putting forth a greater
effort than ever before to Induce
American settlers to come to Western Canada," he said. "In conferenc
today with Mr. Oliver, the ministei
of the Interior, I secured permission
to place exhibits of farm products
from Western Canada at many fairs
and exhlbtions In American cities
which it has not hitherto been our
practice to visit. This is one step
toward making our immigration
campaign more effective."
With regard to the number of immigrants coming to Canada this year
from the United Stales, Mr. White
stated that between 140,000 and
150,000 would be a conservative estimate. Speaking of the reports that
are being circulated throughout the
Western States to the effect that
thousands of American i ettlers are
returning to the States c'issatisfled
with the Canadian West, he stated
that their only effect was to spur on
the officials of his department to
greater efforts to bring the setlters
in. "As a matter of fact," he said,
"very few settlers are returning to
the States. I don't know any reason
why they should go back. They certainly cannot find anything better
down home than we have In Western
Canada." He estimated the number
who have actually returned to the
States at about 300, and was of the
opinion that a large proportion of
these had no Intention of staying
when they came.

Professor C. H. Gilbert of Leland
Stanford university, Palo Alto, Oil.,
has paid a visit to tbe coast siting of
British Columbia. Last year he accompanied Dr. David Starr Jordan,
president of tbe university, when an
International fishery conference was
held. He Is now In Seattle and the
different points on the American side
where salmon fisheries are carried
on.
Professor Gilbert stated that he
was inquiring in a general way as
to how many sockeyes had been
caught on the Fraser, as well as
other species. He was also gathering any Information possible about
the fishing Industry, both in British
Columbia waters as well as In Puget
Sound and the Skagit and other
rivers. He was investigating from
a scientific standpoint as professor of
zoology, as well as a member of the
International fisheries commission,
the age of the sockeye salmon. In
regard to this subject his results will
be published In book form in
due time, and concerning what he
had found In this enquiry he was not
In a position to discuss.
He Btated that at present there are
three ways of approaching the subject of the age of the sockeye. One
is that on the Fraser river, and on
no other river in the worlU, the sockeye pack is large every fourth year.
This was an extremely interesting
phenomenon that gave rise to some
interesting speculations. From this
fact many Investigators place the
age of the fish at four years. But
there were facts that did not fit in
with that theory. One was that the
sockeye came in ogether in a huge
run into the Straits of Juan de Fuca.
Then by some natural law the school
became split p. Some of 'the sockeye went to the Fraser, wo lie others
went to the Skagit river in the state
of Washington, and other rivers.
This is where a strange phenomenon
came into play—when the sockeye In
a fourth year were plentiful In the
Fraser river, their numbers were
about the same in the Skagit from
year to year. From old records of
the Hudson's Bay company the professor pointed out that the sockeye
were caught In large numbers every
fourth year. How this variation In
the size of the run ever originated
can only be guessed at. Neverthe
less It was a fact that such was tbe
case.
Another theory fixing the age of
the fish was from markings. Some of
tbe sockeye had been marked in the
hatcheries In Washington by having
a hole punched in their fins. Some
of these fish had been caught In later
years and their age was fixed at four
years.
The third way of determining the
span of life of the sockeye was a
method recently made public by Professor McMurrich of the University
of Toronto. He believes that the ear
bones of this species hold the clue
to their age, just as the rings of a
tree tell how many summers It has
seen, or the ridges on the teeth of a
horse.
The speaker said that the humpback salmon were plentiful" every
other season, thus differing from the
sockeye.
The work that had been done by
the employees In the Washington
State hatcheries in the matter of
marking fish had been imperfectly
carried out, for the same punches
had been used at different points Instead of different kinds of marks.
This led to confusion and defeated
the ends of science. When the marked fish were caught different hatcheries claimed them as ther own
fish.
In regard to the decisions that
might be arrived at by the International commission, he thought that
only such considerations as controlled the manner and time of fishing
for salmon were to be discussed. Opposition on the part of Washington
canners and fishers would probably
be met, but If the decisions that
might be arrived at were enforced
by the federal government of the
Unitd States and not by the Washin-
ton state government then they
would likely be more strictly enforced.
He thought that only about three
quarters as many licenses for fishermen had been issued in Washington
state as had been Issued last year.

The Dominion Government dredge
Fruhllng, which for some tl je past
has been employed In an endeavor
to open a channel between New and
Old Alberni, will be recalled from
Vancouver Island in the near future.
According to advices received by
Resident Dominion Engineer Keefer,
It appears that the Fruhllng Is unable to handle the work to which she
has been put. The bar which divides
Old and New Alberni has been found
to be composed of harder material
than had been anticipated, and many
snags are contained In the sand.
The residents of Alberni are boiling that the Vancouver office of the
department, of public works may see
fit to send the King Edward to undertake the work, but Mr. Keefer
i fates that he would not dare to send
the big flat bottomed dredge so far
as Alberni.
"If she met the big swell that rolls
In around Alberni,' said he, "and
I have scarcely ever gone up there
without meeting It, she would probably founder."
Mr. Keefer stated that it was possible that the dredge Ajax, now ;n
Victoria, might be fitted up for tin-
work at Alberni and sent up there.
As for the Fruhllng, .Mr. Keefer
stated that on Its return from Alberni It would not be possible to put
it at work at the mouth of the Fraser
river again until the fishing season
was drawing to a close. The Fruh-
ling worked on the sandheads for a
short time during the season last
year and a vast amount of trouble
was experienced with the nets. As
soon as possible the big dredge would
be put to work on the North Arm
which it Is the intention of the department to deepen throughout to
eight feet at low water, so as to
make It navigable for all olasse of
tugs during the coming low water
season.

The Port Simpson will be off tho
ways on Saturday and will immediately start loading freight, as she Is
expected to leave for Hazelton Sunday morning.
The steamer Hazelton left this
morning for Hazelton with a heavy
passenger list and a full cargo of
freight. The river boats are carrying more commercial freight this
year than ever before, nnd it is
doubtful whether all the freight will
be carried before the river closes for
navigation.
The Princess Beatrice has changed

Stewart any more for the present, but
will run to Skagway in place of tho
Princess May.
TENDERS FOB VESSELS

over the British admiralty plans are
the Poison Iron Works, Toronto; the
British Columbia Marine Railway
Company, Victoria, and the Collingwood Shipbuilding Company.
When the admiralty plans are in
readiness, it is announced that the
agents of the companies desiring to
tender will be allowed to examine
the plans as proposed before putting
in their tenders.

rates to Southeastern Alaska after
the end of the excursion season,
August 19.
Officials of the Alaska Steamship
company, which has ben operating
steamers on a special excursion rate
since June, declared yesterday that
no plans have yet been made for the
balance of the season.
The presence of Mr. Hubbard in
Seattle, and the approaching end ot
the excursion season of his line, gave
color to the statement that new rate
announcements will be forthcoming
in a few days.
General Manager Max Kalish, of
the Humboldt Steamship Company,
states that their rate of $50 to Skagway will be maintained until late in
September or October, regardless of
what the other steamship companies
may do.
CRUISER RAINBOW
The Canadian cruiser Rainbow,
Commander Stewart, is to leave
Portsmouth on Saturday, August 20,
for Esquimau, to form the nucleus
of the Canadian navy. The Rainbow
will be the first of Canada's new
naval craft to reach Canada waters.
A rumor was current that the vessel
might go first to Halifax to be stationed ther pending the repairs to
the cruiser Niobe which will not be
ready for service until October, a
statement to that effect having been
made by a prominent official of the
marine and fisheries department at.
Ottawa who recently visited this city.
It is understood, however, that this
programme will not be adhered to
and the Rainbow will proceed direct
to Esquimau.
The Rainbow was placed in commission at Portsmouth on August 4,
and soon afterward a silver service
bought by the government of British
Columbia for the cruiser was placed
on board. The cruiser will he In
command of Commander Stewart,
and the following officers have been
appointed to the vessel: Lieutenants
A. E. D. Moore, R.H.C., Halifax, R.
V. Holt and R. T. Edwards; Engineer Commander T. J. Morgan; Engineer Lieutenant R. H. M. Bury;
