Model Quarters for (he Energetic Or. g.ml/.lltlon Will Be Tims Found —Meeting Tonight The energetic rowing club recently organized in the city Is to have model quarters, It Is likely. Through a coincident they have had offered for their use the river steamer Hazelton, now lying at Port Simpson. The machinery has been taken out of the steamer, having been sent by the Hudson's Bay Company to Athabasca Landing, where it was used In fitting up a river steamer there. The hull in its former condition had been left at Port Simpson and with no further use for it the company was about to offer it for sale. News of this was conveyed to some of those interested in the rowing club and at once the adaptability of It for the purposes of a club house appealed to them. An energetic, effort was at once made to secure tlie hull for tho purpose, for which it is most admirably adapted. Accordingly the good offices of all that are interested in seeing the club go ahead is being enlisted, with the object In view of securing tlie hull and having it brought to this porl and pul to the use designed. The cost is considerable for a young club and the assistance of citizens generally is being requested in order that the opportunity may not be allowed to pass. There is to be a meeting this evening In the office of Major Gibson for the purpose of considering ways and means in connection wiih this undertaking, All who are interested In the proposition of furthering the cause of good clean sport in the city are asked to lend (Continued tin Last Page) TO ENLARGE HOTEL It Has Been Decided Definitely to Add to the Empress Giving Needed Floor Space.

Basement Will Contain a Bowling Alley—Work Is to Be Carried Out at Once by Owners The management of the Empress Hotel finds that it is essential that the premises be increased In size to accommodate the growing demand. For this reason it has been decided now that the enlarging of the building cannot be longer delayed. Accordingly a start will be made upon It at once. The new wing will be erected on the east side of the present building. Two lots will be used in the extension and it will be three storeys In height. The basement will be excavated and It is the Intention of the management to equip the basement thus created with a howling alley. The work will start at once so as to have the building ready as soon as it can be got In shape lo handle the trade. . . o AT THE BRIDGE Superstructure of the Hkconii Cross- ing Hiliigc is Vtiw Complete The superstructure (or the Skeena Crossing bridge is now completed and the camp is almost abandoned by Foley, Welch & Stewart's nun, says i in Omlnet o Herald.

WANTED A woman to do plain sewing. Apply at New Knox Hotel, First Ave. That Prince Rupert Is the natural centre for a tremendous production of farm crops, is the word brought by W. E. Scott, the deputy minister of agriculture, from the province after a tour through a large part of the district. Mr. Scott goes farther and after his trip through the Naas Valley, the Gardiner, the Kitwancool, the Kitmangar and the rich arable areas of the Skeena River Valleys, he is prepared to say that nowhere else In the whole province of British Columbia is there to be found as large and as rich an area of farm land as he saw in this district. There is room for hundreds of thousands of settlers on the land. The area of the Naas and its connecting valleys he puts at from 500,000 to 1,000,- 000 acres of land unexcelled In the whole of the province. Mr. Scott returned to the city yesterday afternoon from up the Skeena and Is now awaiting the arrival of Mr. Carpenter, who was iiis companion, and the poultry superintendent for the province, who also joined the party after they reached the Skeena River. Easily Cleared The deputy minister has returned to the coast with a very exalted opinion as to the possibilities of this northern part of tlie province. Another feature in connection with the country that was visited was the fact that it is for the most part easily cleared as compared with the land In the southern part of the province, which In itself is of decided advantage. There are, in fact, vast areas of the land that he saw where the plow could start at once in preparing for the cropping of the land. There are hundreds of acres of it In that condition. Mr, Scott is most enthusiastic over the outlook from that part of the north and he expects to see il make a name for itself. Air. Scott in no unmistakeable way shows that he has been agreeably surprised at what he has seen on this trip. He had never expected, it Is apparent, to meet with the conditions that he encountered. He has discovered that the north from the standpoint of agriculture is the coming district of the province of British Columbia. The results that will follow the visit of the deputy minister are difficult to estimate. He returns to the south with exact information relative to the country and will make use of that information in the peopling of the rich valleys that there are awaiting the arrival of settlers to enter upon it and build up homes for themselves. The Kitsunikiiliini This is not the first visit of the deputy minister to the north. On a previous occasion he went into the Kitsumkalum Valley, and made a most favorable report upon the country there. That report is used at the present as the most exact information upon the district for intending settlers. The Naas, however, opened up to the official of the government a new area of farm land that, he had known only from report at second hand. He has now seen it himself and in no uncertain way does he describe it as the best opening for the intending settler that is to be found In the province, which is certainly saying a great deal for it, A Long Trip Mr. Scott is a most conservative man. He never overestimates. His position would preclude him from so doing and In addit-'jn to that he has no disposition to mislead In mailers of such importance as the placing of settlements. Under the guidance of Robert Jennings, who knows the country well, Mr. Scotl and Mr. Carpenter after a thorough inspection of the Queen Charlotte Islands started on the trip by why of the Naas River. They went up the Naas, making careful Inspection as they proceeded. Taking the branch valley of the Oar- diner they traversed also lite Kitwancool and then on down to the Skeena by way of the Kltwangar trail. Throughout, the governmenl trails were followed, with side trips in to inspect tlie different sections as they went along. The whole district forms an unbroken farming section that would be hard to beat anywhere in the world. The Naas Valley The Naasm Valley, however, was especially attractive to Mr. Scott. There are wide stretches of land there extending far back front the river that are most inviting to tlie settler. Thousands of acres are lying ready practically for the commencement of work upon them. The soil is the very best. It is river silt and adapted In a special way for mixed farming. Immense crops of all kinds could be produced upon this land and from a dairy standpoint it is all that could be desired. For small fruits there is no question as to its, productiveness. With respect to the) raising of tree fruits, he does not aire to say much as yet. That is something that would have to he tepted and until there has been systematic experiments along that line It is impossible to say just what the results would be. It is an area for mixed farming, however, that the valley is, in the opinion of the official, admirably adapted. Light Cost Then, with respect to clearing, the district is splendidly situated. Instead of having to spend $300 or $400 an acre for the clearing as is common in the southern part of the ( province the cost throughout a large pari of ibis valley is only a matter of a lew dollars. There are vast stretches, he savs, where 'he clearing no reason why there should not he an immediate Inrush of settlers that will be able to make excellent returns from the raising of poultry. On the visit to the Lakelse they went out to the lake and were highly pleased with the showing of the valley. It Is a rich district and the time cannot be far distant when the population that is warranted will be on the lands in this section of the country. Speaking of the returns from farming, Mr. Scott says that In this province, with the prices such as they are, and the production as it is, it is possible for farms to make good returns after paying $400 an acre for the land. Under these conditions, with the cost of clearing such as it is in the north, I here is no reason TELEGRAPH CREEK Hudson's Bay Company will Take Last of Stores from Port Simpson to Stickine. is already rimie and the land stands: vvliy the farming population thai naturally cleared of timber.

When Steamer Leaves for thai River Next Week It Will Carry Heavy Freight for Interior The Stickine country is increasing in importance with the opening up of this northern territory. Telegraph Creek is apparently becoming more important all the time and as a proof of this the Hudson's Bay Company is increasing its facilities in that post. When the Port Simpson goes up the river next week it will take up the remaining stock of the company's store at Port Simpson. That post will be practically done away with as far as the company is concerned. With the development of Prince Rupert there has been a corresponding falling off in Ihe importance of Port Simpson, which for a long time held the place of first Importance in this northern part of the country. Prince Rupert has become the Important point, however, and the store at Port Simpson is to be closed. A considerable part of the stock from there was taken up the I, Homes for Many On reaching the Skeena the party I, went on to Hazelton and then by easy stages the trip was made down I the river, with Inspection of tlie dii'-j . fere,a valleys along the line of the i C.

Vow- lining Hales l pon Application. . n*n EMINENTIV SUCCESSFUL Wednesday, May 16, 101: RICH FARM LANDS The report which the deputy minister of agriculture brings back after his tour through the Naas and the connecting valleys leading through to the Skeena is such as to arouse a feeling of intense satisfaction with the future of the country contiguous to this centre in the matter of agriculture. We are apt to look upon the valleys as small in extent. This is contradicted by Mr. Scott, who asserts that there is land available for thousands of settlers; in fact. Hie numbers that he estimates, are hundreds of thousands of them. It would appear from all the reports that are forthcoming thai Ihe Naas is lo furnish a territory very similar to the best lands of Ontario with, of course, a milder climate in winter and not Jlie same extremes of heal in tlie summer,. The statement of Mr. Scott is that this region It looks as though the city might succeed in maintaining the delapi- tated condition of Third Avenue east of McBride for another year and a half. Already the street at that point has been torn it]) and put in shape to allow for the fill and the building oi' the retaining wall for the length of lime mentioned. A gang of men with wheelbarrows took compassion on tlie street and filled up a very considerable portion of it. if the place is left a little longer it will fill up in the ordinary course of events i from such small additions to the fill as from lime lo lime are (lumped there by private parlies. When the .,. ■ arted there was a very satisfactory plank Btreet, There was a tearing out of the foundations of buildings to prepare for the wall that was lo lie built there when I he starl was made. In consequence buildings were left in a iiiuch less stable condition than before and yet nothing hut Ihe holes are left. We have every sympathy with i host in charge of the street work In Ihe effort to serve all parts as well as possible. We must say, however, thai we are beginning to regard tlie situation as it exists at the point referred to as indicative of other than merely a coincident. If we felt sure that within a year at least there might be rock enough found in the city to fill the hole it would not be too bad but we are fearful that under stress of financial circumstances which seems to have brought with it the necessity for turning out Ihe light opposite the place that the dark weather of Ihe winter will find the spot in Hie same condition. The situation reflects little credit upon those responsible. For all kinds of ■ - good - - I dill SEE GEO. LEEK 018 Third Ave. Phone :20ft Prince liuperl JOURNAL Wednesday, May 15, 1912.

The name of the town Is Grouard. Almost everybody who is at all interested in Ihe north country knows of Ihe town, nol so many, however, know of the man lor whom it was named. To go back in the records of lime forty-nine years is no particular teat for Ihe hlslorlan. That Is what one might call contemporaneous history. But to go back that far in Ihe history ol' the far north is to mark clear back to Ihe beginning ol tilings recorded, or nearly so. The name Oouard has been identified with the development of the Peace River valley for the last forty- nine years, although the town of that name is but a few years old. It is a name which was taken into the north by a man—a very human, manly man, but yet a very good man. Forty-nine years ago, when Emile Grouard penetrated the loneliness of the northern wilderness to carry the cross to the savage tribesmen, he was a young priest, invested with his holy orders only a year before. He was young in experience, but he was strong in the enthusiasm of his pious mission, and brave in the faith of the greatest missionary church in the world. The perils and hardships of the north were far greater than they are today, but where there was an unbaptised heathen to be taught the gospel, the obstacles could not be too great for I his zealous missionary. At that time nobody but the agents of the Hudson's Bay Company, an occasional stray trapper and one or two representatives of the government had ever visited the Slave Lake country. The Mounted Police had not yet sprung into existence, and the pale face was a novelty to the Indians, and not a very ■welcome novelty, either. The civilized world looked on the north as ai waste of snow and Ice and worthless jungles. It was considered of no commercial interest beyond being an open range for fur bearing animals. Nobody but a man with the courage of a great cause could have taken upon himself to pioneer that country with the message of love, and deliberately isolate himself away from even the casual paths of civilized man. But such a zealot was Father Grouard. Times have changed considerably since then. The Peace River valley today is the lodestone which Is drawing the pick of the men of the rest of Canada, the Old Country, the United States and a half dozen other countries. Its population, though small, Is growing with surprising rapidity. From several different points railroad lines are racing to tap Its mines of eternal wealth. The tide of civilization is sweeping northward like the rush of the Mississippi broken through its levees. Bishop Grouard is no longer isolated. In the fullness of his years he can gaze from the head of Lesser Slave Lake in all directions and see the seed lie cowed In his youth bearing rich fruit. Bishop Grouard, now a venerable gnowy bearded patriach of 77 years, >> about to celebrate the golden anniversary of his priesthood. The event will take place on the 29th and 30th of June, "'he people of Grouard and the surrounding country are making elaborate preparations to mark it with a lining celebration for such a testation of the great teaching which he brought. So the Indians will gather from far and near, and they will pay their respects after their own way, not overlooking, of course, the great barbecue which is to be prepared. It will.be the last great assemblage of these rapidly disappearing people, probably, and there is something tragically sad in the realization of this fact, and in the additional fact that it is the power of tlie Influence of one man, and he the representative of the white man's religion, that has brought them together for the final grand powow. Al Ihe convent, founded by Bishop Grouard, and where he took a group of devoted sisters when no while woman had ever before ventured Into that untracked wild, thel ittle hoys have been drilled by some of the sisters In a play written by a sister in three acts to depict, a few of the scenes In the life and work of the bishop himself. Something of what Bishop Grouard means to the physical development of the north, quite apart from the spiritual, may be judged from the fact that he built the first steamboat on Lesser Slave Lake or the Peace River or, in fact, anywhere in the north. Now special excursions will be run to his golden anniversary by the Hudson's Bay Company and the Northern Transportation Company, bringing his friends and admirers from the scattered districts of the north. The first sawmill and the first grist mill in the north were also built by the bishop, and he it was who first plowed the wonderfully fertile soil of the valley of the Peace. He chose the site of the present town of Grouard, and built the first house thereon. The church has grown with the advancement of the country, and eight or nine bishops of the north will attend his jubilee. Four churches in the north, at Grouard, Athabasca Landing, Fort Vermilion and Dunvegan, bear witness to the genius of this remarkable man with the brush, he having decorated their interiors with religious paintings.

MILLIONS UNCLAIMED British Government in Possession of $35,000,000 Waiting for Owners in the story of the north country. Tliis will he the blggesl thing thai lias happened In a festive way so far in the history of slave Lake; Indeed, there may never be anything quite like II again. For these reasons the The sum of $35,000,000 is in the hands of the British government waiting to be claimed by the rightful owners or their heirs. According to Sydney H. Preston, who has made a study of this subject, a recently issued parliamentary paper shows that the dividends on government stocks due and not demanded is now $32 4,075. The non claimants are in all likelihood inves tors who have died. "The greater portion of these sums," declared Mr. Preston, "is handed over to the government in reduction of taxation on the under standing that when the claimants make good their case the sums they are entitled to are reimbursed. "The total amount of accumulated unclaimed stock and dividends taken over in this way is about $25,000,- 000, and I estimate that there is over $10,000,000 in hand unappropriated, making $35,000,000 in all. "There seems to be no reason why the names and last known addresses of the stockholders should not be published, seeing that tlie last list of these unclaimed funds was Issued as far back as the year 1845. "In no other country could there be so much derelict gold. Tho explanation lies In the extent of the British Empire, and the migratory significant event .uld enterprtsing habits of the British population."

AFTER CANADIAN TRADE That the Australian minister of customs (Mr. Tudor) is fully impressed with the necessity of establishing trade relations with Canada on a more satisfactory footing than exists at present, was acknowledged by him in an interview which he had with a gentleman who is actively engaged In the export of butter and frozen meat to the Dominion. The gentleman made out a very strong case. He showed that New Zealand was now reaping work which had been done by Australia. An increasing trade with Canada in frozen products had been built up by Australia, but with the discontinuation of the Vancouver mail service from .Inly of last year, shipping facilities had entirely disappeared. Australia, he explained, had now to put up with New Zealand's leavings in the shape of refrigerating space. The service established with New Zealand by Canada Included Sydney as a port of call, but as New Zealand had the first call on space, not a single box of butter had been shipped from Australia to Canada since the discontinuation of the Vancouver line of steamers. New Zealand had, on the other hand, shipped 3,500 boxes of butter to Canada, and was also exploiting the meat trade. Mr. Tudor indicated the probability of an early agreement being arrived at between the Commonwealth and Canada on tlie subject of a reciprocal tariff. He had, he said, opened up negotiations with the Canadian governmenl. and he recognized the urgency of I he question. Referring to the advisability of establishing direct steamship communication with Canada, Mr. Tudor added that without a reciprocal tariff arrangement it would he of little use talking of a direct service. The duty on Australian meat in Canada is six cents per pound, as againsl four cents per pound from New Zealand, and on Australian butter eight cents per pound, as against six cents.
