Were Making Passage of the Canyon in Small Itoat No One Saw the Accident W. H. Tully, port engineer for Foley, Welch & Stewart's steamers, and William Grant were drowned in the Canyon of the Skeena River on Wednesday. The full particulars can never be known as no one is believed to have witnessed the accident. The boat in which the two men were making the trip was found not far from Hankin's Riffle. It is presumed, therefore, that the men were there thrown from the boat. The details, as far as known here, have been received at Foley, Welch & Stewart's offices here from Captain S. B. Johnson, who is In command of the river fleet. On the last trip of the Skeena, in the absence of regular officers, Captain Johnson, the commander of the fleet and W. H. Tully, the port engineer, went in charge. A report that the Omineca's engines must have been in some trouble about Kitsumkalum, must have been received after the Canyon was passed and Mr. Tully and Grant started down in a boat to join the Omineca. The finding of the empty boat is all the officials of the company CANADA'S NAVAL MEN * (Special to The Journal) * OTTAWA, May 19.—At the * opening of the sitting of the * House of Commons yesterday, * R.

Mr. Tully was a very competent engineer. He came north on the Caledonia tliree years ago and, after serving for a time on her, was appointed two years ago as port engineer for the Foley, Welch & Stewart steamers. He was unmarried, but his mother lives in Los Angeles. About Mr. Grant, little is known by the company. It is not known where his relatives live. o HAS COME TO RESIDE Hon. Fred Peters, K. C, Will Practice Law in Prince Rupert— Is to lie City Solicitor Hon. Fred Peters, K. C, formerly of Victoria, has arrived in the city and is about to open an office for the practice of law here. Mr. Peters was formerly premier of Prince Edward Island and has had a very distinguished career as a solicitor. He has taken an office in the Exchange Block and In addition to general practice will act as city solicitor. The trip to this city was the first occasion on which Mr. Peters had made tb# voyage north along this coast. He was delighted with It and Is likewise agreeably surprised to find the city of Prince Rupert making the rapid advances which are everywhere noticeable. In company with Mayor Manson he made a trip about the city on Wednesday, after his arrival, and immediately became Impressed with the situation and the opportunities which the place possessed. He has come to Prince Rupert, he says, to make his home here. In the meantime Mrs. Peters will remain in the south, but a little later he ex- pectB to bring her north and take up house here. First Court Case In the city police court this morning Fred Peters K. C, the new city solicitor made his first appearance. The charge was one of careless blasting against Mr. Mclnnes. The defendant did not put up any defence and was fined $10. ALBINO PORCUPINE Skin of White Specimen Has Keen Received by W. S. Benson, ol This City—Will Mount It The skin of what appears to have been an albino in the porcupine family, is in the possession of W. S. Benson, of the Atlantic Realty Company, in this city. The skin was received from Hartley Bay, on this coast, and is practically white throughout. Some of the hair is slightly yellowed, probably through contact with the timber and plant life amidst which it lived. The color of the hair is naturally a decided white. The white porcupine is new to all who have seen this one and students of natural history would do well to see it. Mr. Benson intends to have the skin properly mounted. o IS NOT IN FAVOR Feeling at Ottawa is Not Agreeable to Annexation of the Bahamas. Subject Will Likely Come up at tlie Imperial Conference in London (Special to The Journal) OTTAWA, May 19.—Hon. VV. S. Fielding said in the House on Tuesday that nothing official had . yet been done by the government respecting the proposal for annexation of the Bahamas to Canada, but the question would probably be broached by the colonial office to Sir Wilfrid Laurier in London during the Imperial Conference. There is little likelihood of any steps being taken by Canada in furtherance of the scheme as it is not viewed with favor by the government here. —o ■ DIVER ON WHARF It Has Been Found Necessary to Blast Out Rock for Concrete Piles. Large Musses of Stone Give Trouble at the Government Waterfront The Westliolme Lumber Company this morning started an expert diver at, work in blasting rock out where the reinforced concrete piles must go for the provincial government wharf. Various plans have been tried to overcome the difficulty met with. It has lately been decided to blast the "coyotes" out of the way. Accordingly, the first shot was fired this morning to make way for a pile of about 85 feet in length that Is ready to go into place. The piles used in this work are the longest of their kind, it is believed, that have ever been used. The government in deciding upon these took what is supposed to be the most modern system known. There have been difficulties to overcome by the contractors but they are mastering them. Diver Clarke will be able, it is thought, to solve the question of getting the way cleared for the piles so that the work should progress steadily now.

RIFLE CLUB'S PRIZES Local Association Opens a New Season Under Host Encouraging Conditions. Xew Members Will lie Given Training Under Experienced Shots —Increasing Membership A meeting of the Prince Rupert Civilian Rifle Club was held last night for the purposes of reorganizing and arranging a programme for the season. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed and the clug promises to have a very good year's sport. The club is open to receive new members, who must be British subjects. A memorandum was presented by the secretary of matters requiring deliberation. Among these was the enrolment of memuers for the year, which was completed forthwith. As the club is organized under the Dominion regulations, all must be British subjects. All members present immediately took the oath of alle- glence and signed the roll.. The targets will be put in condition at once. Four targets have been brought over and will be fixed in time for a shoot on Saturday. The remainder of the targets will be attended to at the ranges on Saturday by a committee. A statement of the accounts will he obtained from Mr. Agnew, treasurer for the period just expired,, in order to liquidate the indebtedness of the club. The Veterans Association are desirous of obtaining permission to shoot off a match on Sunday next. This proposition was approved on seeing that it is a likely manner in which to obtain new members. The rifles are to be kept within reach of all members and kept clean. A finance and a range committee were appointed. Messrs. Partington, Beatty and Godson were named as the range committee, and Messrs. G. Cameron, Potter and Woods as the finance committee. It was also suggested that a military ball should be given with a view to increasing the membership. Messrs. Partington and Beatty constituted themselves a committee to meet representatives of the Earl Grey Rifles and the Veterans Association with a view to joining interests in such an undertaking. A programme for the season was decided upon. Circulars were read inviting the club to enter Into the Canadian Rifle League and the Do- mining of Canada Prize Competitions. Prizes were then offered by Mesrs. Godson, Partington, Potter Cuthbert and Captain Cameron by (Continued from Page Five) SPORTS ON WHARF Celebration Committee Will Bold Programme on the G.T.P. Dock. Events Are Intended Largely for the Children—Big Events Held Until July 1 The celebration committee having in charge the 24th of May celebration has arrangements well in hand. It has been decided to take over the Indian Band competition, which will be held in the Empress Theatre and which promises to be a grand success. The Indian bands are practicing steadily and the keenest rivalry is bound to exist. It has been decided by the committee to limit the sports for May 24 to as few a number of events as possible in order not to interfere with the celebration on July 1. For that reason the sports on May 24 will be largely confined to the school children. It has been decided to hold the programme on the Grand Trunk Pacific wharf between the main freight shed and Foley, Welch & Stewart's. This, A. E. McMaster, the local agent, agreed to clear for the occasion. The committee, in view of his kindness passed a vote of thanks to him. The piles of rails will be fitted up as a stand from which to view the events. The programme is as follows: Children's Sports Wee girls' race, 50 yards, Wee boys' race, 50 yards. 75-yard race for girls, 8 to 10 and 10 to 13 years of age. 75-yard race for boys, 8 to 10 and 10 to 13 years of age. 100-yard race for girls, 13 years and over. 100-^ard race for boys, 13' years and over.

TO THAT PORT Probably no more reassuring fact as to the Importance of Prince Rupert in an industrial and commercial way could be given publicity to: than the campaign which the city of Boston has inaugurated to secure the entrance to that city of the Grand Trunk Pacific and the consequent utilization of it as an Atlantic port. The fact that the most prominent men In Boston are signing a petition and are backing up the move to have inducements held out to the Grand Trunk Pacific to enter that city, is an assurance that they are convinced that It means vast things for Boston. What Is true of the coupling up with Boston, which must only be one of the eastern ports at best, is doubly true of Prince Rupert, the port of the west. The citizens of Boston realize what the opening up of this vast western field through which the Grand Trunk Pacific passes must be to that city and Its commerce. If It means so much to a place on the eastern seaboard, what must it mean to the natural outlet, the port on the Pacific? The campaign which Boston is carrying on is of importance to Prince Rupert. It is bringing this port to the attention of the people of the New England states as it never was brought before. The results cannot fail to be felt here. Mr. Kugler has received copies of the Boston American, which is taking a prominent part in the campaign and has exhibited them In the window of his office on Second avenue. The need of presenting Prince Rupert's opportunities to the world were never greater than at present. The more the transportation and industrial questions of today are looked at, the more fully is it seen that this port's future is something that even the most optimistic are liable to fall far short In estimating. It is not going to be a long wait for population in this city. Population will assuredly flow into the place as the advantages are fully realized. Roosting the City G. A. McNichoIl, superintendent of the Grand Trunk Pacific at this point, who is now in the south on business, has in interviews given the different papers given good boosts for the city of Prince Rupert. Good Fishing W. R. Lord, the canneryman from the Naas, has been In the ctiy for a few days this week. He is busily employed putting up spring salmon at his cannery. The season Is proving a very good one.

He Would Favor Prohibition of Japanese Immigration into the Dominion (Special to The Journal) OTTAWA, May 19.—That Canada should abandon its efforts to develop a large trade with Japan and China and adhere to the new treaty between Great Britain and Japan, and restrict or prohibit Japanese immigration, was the policy enunciated by Martin Burrill, representing Yale-l Cariboo in the House of Commons, last night. The occasion of the enunciation of this policy was when Hon. W. S. Fielding moved the House into committee to consider the resolutions extending for two years the existing trade agreement with Japan. Mr. Burrill declared that the Oriental trade was chimerical. During the last tliree years Canada exported less to Japan than during the pre ceding three years. Hon. Mr. Field' ing read a letter he addressed to the Japanese consul general, giving the reasons of the ministers for desiring to continue the present arrangement for two years. The Japanese government had faithfully lived up to the promise to restrict immigration to Canada. o SETTLEMENT FAILS Conciliation Board at Fernie Fails to Bring About an Agreement. Conciliation Hoard in Coal Miners' Dispute, Failed to Gain Agreement The conciliation board, dealing with the cial strike in the Crow's Nest, has closed its session at Fernie temporarly, after a fruitless attempt to get the parties together upon a proposition submitted by Chairman Gordon. Last Friday afternoon wat spent in discussing this proposition behind closed doors, and when it was found that it was useless at this stage to try further to do anything in the line of conciliation the board adjourned at the call of the chairman. Dr. Gordon and Mr, MoNiven who has acted as secretary to the board, departed for their homes on the east bound train in the evening. The operators also left town for their homes, leaving the executive of the mine workers to remain a few days attending to matters pertaining to the district affairs. The proposition submitted by Chairman Gordon, and which was the basis of the afternoon negotiations, seems tno to have met with favor from either side. The chairman stated after adjournment that he had not hoped too strongly for its acceptance, as the inquiry had not gone far enough to get resulls that would satisfy either party. He had made il in the interest, of peace before taking a long adjournment, not wishing to lose any opportunity of securing an agreement between the parties. In adjourning the board, the chairman complimented the parties DISCUSS FINANCES Bospital Board is in Need of Funds to Meet Immediate Needs. New Set of Bylaws Has Been Prepared and Will He Presented at Extraordinary Meeting At the last meeting of the hospital board, held on Wednesday afternoon in P. I. Palmer's office, the question of finances again came up. While the instltuption has large assets and is In a financially strong position the board has difficulty in meeting the expenses out of current revenue. This is accounted for in a large measure from the fact that bills in connection with the building and for furnishing have to be met now, with but the general revenue to fall back upon until such time as the city makes its grant and other moneys come in. The finance committee was authorized to go into the matter with the manager of the Union Bank, with which institution the business is done. A donation of $50 was received from Mr. Broderick, manager of the Union Bank. A resolution thanking tlie donor was passed unanimously. The board was notified that Mrs. Eggert had donated linen and dishes for the use of the hospital. This thoughtfulness on the part of Mrs. Eggert was commented upon by the members of the board and a resolution of thanks passed. The need of a housekeeper at the institution was again brought up, IX THE HOT KELT (Special to The Journal) CHICAGO, May 19.—Four deaths were recorded here yesterday, ascribed to the excessive heat. The mbercury touched 90 degrees yesterday. the secretary reporting thai the matron was in pressing need of such. In view of the need of finances, the board postponed action but the question will be looked Into more fully. It was decided to make the final payment to B. J. Ilieks, the builder. A report was read by C. V. Bennett, chairman of a special committee, having In hand the preparing of a new set of bylaws for the institution. It was decided to have these finally prepared and an extraordinary general meeting of the members called to pass upon them. The purpose of the new bylaws which follow the company's act quite closely is to remove difficulties met with under the existing bylaws. HOSPITAL AT-HOME Mis. ii. L. Johnstone Entertained Ladies Yesterday Afternoon The Ladies' Auxiliary of t!io Prince Rupert General Hospital held a very enjoyable "At-llome" al tlie residence of Mrs. II. L. Johnston, Fifth avenue. There was a very large attendance of the ladies of (he pity, Mrs. Johnston being one of the most hospitable hostesses in Prince Rupert, A voluntary contribution was taken to aid in the hospital affairs. In addition to this, tried recipes were broughl by tlie different ladies and left with the auxiliary to be used In preparing a book of recipes. Mrs. D. O. Stewart, the wife of the president of the hospital board, Mrs. Eggert, president of the Ladies' Auxiliary, and others assisted Mrs. Johnston, In addition to these a very pleasing effect was obtained by the presence of four little girls, Misses Kathleen Johnston, Jennie McDonald, Catherine Plllsbury and Madeline Nelson, wearing the hospital cap and the red cross badges, who waited upon the guests. Price of Bread The bakers of the city, at a meeting held last night, decided upon a fixed schedule of prices. They will eive 16 loaves for $1 In future. PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Friday, May 19, 1911 THE NAVAL REVIEW Sailor King Will Inspect the Fleet in Conjunction With Coronation Celebration. Elaborate Preparations Are Being Made for This Feature of the Proceedings .Next to the coronation Itself in Westminster Abbey, the most interesting coronation sights will be the review of the fleet at Spithead and the procession of their Majesties through the streets of London. As regards the naval review there is no doubt that added interest will attach to this magnificent spectacle. His Majesty is a sailor King, and it is notorious that the navy occupies today a larger place than ever before in the hearts and thoughts of his subjects. Moreover great changes have come over the navy since the last coronation review in 1902, and there can be no doubt whatever that In magnitude and strength the forthcoming spectacle will outstrip all Its predecessors. Over 500 warships will stretch across the water from Spithead to Cowes. The United States, Germany, Russia, France and Japan will send squadrons under princes or great admirals. In the Home fleet the line wlii be headed by the new battleship Neptune, flying the flag of Sir Francis Bridgeman. The other Dreadnoughts will be the Bellerophon, Collingwood, St. Vincent, Superb, Teme- raire, Vanguard, Hercules and Colossus. The original Dreadnought will be present as an indlvdual unit, 'ihe first cruiser squadron will include the Dreadnoughts Indefatigable, Indomitable, Invincible and Inflexible, and possibly the Lion, now completing at Davenport. The Atlantic fleet will be represented by the Formidable, Implacable, London, Prince of Wales, Queen and Venerable, and the Mediterranean fleet by the Cornwallis, Duncan, Exmouth, Russell and Triumph. The attendant cruiserd squadron of each fleet will be in the lines and five destroyer flotillas and torpedo-boats. On Saturday morning the King and Queen will embark in the Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, escorted by other vessels. Their Majesties will pass up and aown the lines, greeted with salutes from all the ships and shore batteries, and they will remain in Cowes roads till Monday morning. The Illuminations on Saturday evening will be a magnificent spectacle. The hundreds of warships will be outlined by electric lights i-nd hundreds of searcnlights will form archways in the heaven. The only way to properly witness it will be from the deck of a steamer. Stands and windows on shore are of little use. The spectator must be taken out to sea and steam up and down between the unes of battleships; and if the beautiful finale of the illumination of the fleet is to be appreciated he must remain on the water until a late hour dependent for food and comfort on the resources of the vessel on which a place has been taken. ticular prison from which the man was discharged. "But it was understood that he had a sort of moral right to it. Now the moral right will disappear, and the gratuities will go to the central body, which will use up these sums, of course, for the men's benefit. "These gratuities, with the grant of £7,000 which the government is making, will probably pay all the expenses involved in the setting up of the new body, so that no fresh burden will be cast on the existing societies, whose work should be assisted by the centralization and co-ordination of their efforts. "Of course, there will still remain the obstacle of the natural reluctance of employers to engage ex- convicts. It has been difficult hitherto to find other than laboring work for these men, as people hesitate to give them positions of trust." The assistant secretary of the eeentral committee of Dicharged Prisoners' Aid Societies said that there were about one hundred societies engaged in the work of befriending ex-prisoners. Many of them, however, dealt with both ex-convicts and men released after short sentences. He also stated that the Home Office had under consideration a scheme to set up a new authority to deal with the short sentence men. This body will probably be drawn largely from the central council, strengthened by Home Office representatives. "But as to a new career of nope for convicts," he said, "to my mind that could only be achieved by planting them on a Pacific island—giving them capital, if need be, for a start —setting a gunboat to look after them and see they did not escape, and leaving them to work out their own salvation. "It would be cheaper in the end." If you want the honey That comes from the bive Take up the phone and Call one, double five.

During the month of April about a hundred convicts were released. Some of them may not want assistance on leaving prison, but they will all be handed over to the care of the newly-formed Central Association, whose surveillance will take tho place of the odl system of ticket of leave. tinder the old method of working a convict could earn from two to six pounds during his term of Imprisonment. On. his release half of this was generally used for his benefit through the agency of a prisoner's aid society or similar body. But now the new central body will appropriate the whole of the money earned by the prisoner. If the association's efforts do benefit him, he will certainly get his money's worth. But if these efforts fall his money will have been swallowed up. A press representative discussed the new scheme with the assistant secretary to the prison commissioners, In the absence of Mr. Basil Thompson, the secretary. "The convict," he said, "has never had a legal claim to this money, which has hitherto been paid on the condition that half was administered through the aid society for the par- For some time past Herr Iniman- uel Friedlander has been working for the establishment in this city of an international institute to carry on a continuous ad systematic investigation of volcanic phenomena. An observatory has existed on Vesuvius for many years, but from the insufficient means at its disposal, no extended and systematic work has hitherto been possible. Such an institute as Herr Friedlander contemplates will be provided with the necessary laboratories and instruments for the regular measurement of temperatures on Vesuvius, for the periodical collection and analysis of the gases, and for the registration and observation of local earthquakes of a volcanic character, not only during the eruptive phases of the volcano, but also throughout its periods of comparative calm. It would form a training school for volcanologists, ns well as give opportunity for other scientific persons to make observations. The practical and scientific value of such an institute would be very great. In most volcanoes eruptions occur according to a regular sequence of events, and it is more than probable that a careful and exact registration of phenomena may enable the observers to foresee the time and magnitude of an eruption. By a closer observation also of fu- marolic activity and of the transformation of rocks, it would be possible to form a clearer conception of ore beds. After communicating his plan to the last International Geological congress held at Stockholm,pand obtaining the approval of the congress, Herr Friedlander set to work to canvass among the scientific societies of every nation for supporters He has now secured 62 eminent names, among them 25 Italians, 19 Germans and 3 Englishmen. The Royal Academy of Naples and the Geological committee of Italy have given their adherence to the scheme, some sixty of the most prominent scientific and political personages of Italy are forming a committee to promote II; and the Italian government will shortly decide as to what official support can be given also. Herr Friedlander himself has contributed $40,000 towards the erection of a building. "That's right," said the teacher encouragingly to the very small boy who was laboriously learning his A, B, C's. "Now, what comes after G?" "Whiz." o "He knows all the best people In town." "Why doesn't he associate with them then?" "They know him."

ELLISON SEE THE OFFICIAL MAP.—The first glance will show you that ELLISON is located at the junction of the Skeena River and the Bulk- ley Valley. The Grand Trunk Pacific has announced that they are joint owners in the townsite of Ellison. Now, my dear reader, you must remember that up to date the Grand Trunk Pacific has not announced that it has any interest in any other main line towsite in British Columbia. Does that start you thinking? STUDY THE MAP and you will find Ellison is where the railway tracks leave navigation. That fact is a very important one for conservative investors to think over. What is known as the Hazelton district covers a territory many miles in extent in every direction radiating from the townsite of Ellison. Mining machinery, ore shipments, smelters, reduction plants and all sorts of mining operations starting up in this rich mineral region, must necessarily have a metropolis, a HUB, a headquarters. If any sane, conservative man can figure out any other spot except Ellison for the hub ef the great commerce of this district, his plan should be very inter esting to the Grand Trunk Pacific officials. It does seem as though these officials, after several years of investigation and engineering, would know just what they were doing when they put their official stamp on Ellison. — o STUDY THAT MAP.—I desire to say to all parties who are talking townsites in the vicinity of Skeena River and the Bulkley Valley that there will no doubt be several small towns, just the same as one always finds in a mining district. There will be towns in the vicinity of Ellison along branch railways, probably towns at the ends of branch lines made to serve the mines and the collieries, but it will be history repeating itself in regard to the building up of every metropolis. Ellison has every natural advantage, has every earmark of being the future mercantile and financial center of the Skeena River mining district and the entrance to the Bulk- ley Valley. o STUDY THAT MAP and you will find that all of the mining towns and railroad towns around there just beginning to be talked about will only be feeders to the city and port of ELLISON. The Grand Trunk Pacific has put its official stamp on Ellison. Do you believe the company will do as much for townsites owned by individuals as it will for one in which its stockholders are joint owners? If you do, don't buy any lots In Ellison. If you desire to make a permanent investment, or merely to make a little quick money, you must decide for yourself right now. Do you propose to follow the individual townsite promoters or the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company. STUDY THAT MAP.—If you desire to put your money into a real estate promoter's townsite you will have many, many opportunities this summer. The average promoter is full of hurrah and red fire. He must enthuse investors of the mail order class with his wares. ELLISON is In the Missouri class. Therefore, I am -not telling any fairy tales about it. I am making statements that can be readily verified. o STUDY THAT MAP.—If you want to join that great army of investors-at-long-range, then you should put your money into promoters' townsites. If you want a perfectly safe and sound Investment, certain to bring you large profits, then put your money where the Grand Trunk Pacific, after years of careful investigation, have put their money. o STUDY THAT MAP.—It is not likely the Grand Trunk Pacific will have any other townsite in British Columbia for sale this year. The officials of the company state that the company is not interested in any townsite in the Hazelton district with the exception of ELLISON. ELLISON is on the bank of the Skeena at its confluence with the Bulkley. 'Sou may change railway surveys; you may change the location of towns along the line of road, but you cannot change the geography of the country through which the railway passes. The head of navigation necessarily means an important townsite. Ellison will not only be at. the head of navigation but the center of a mining district wonderful in its resources that is now being opened up, and for which Ellison will be the shipping point both by rail and water. The fact that trains may change engines up or down the line or in the suburbs of the town of Ellison does not amount to shucks in building up a town when such places are compared with a town located where rails and navigation meet. STUDY THAT MAP.—You will find on the official plan of Ellison that a large part of the town- site has been reserved for future sales, the same as the company has done with certain sections of Prince Rupert townsite. There are, therefore, at this time, comparatively few lots on the market. "You must hurry if you want one. STUDY THAT MAP.—ROGERS' ADDITION to Ellison, only a small parcel of land, lies within eight blocks of the site of the railway station.

Son of Convicted Woman Had un Important Part Without His Knowledge There died in Rossland recently at the age of 29, James Chandler May- brick, only son of the late James Maybrick, of Liverpool. Behind this simple announcement lies the whole of the Maybrick case, one of the most sensational trials of the last, three decades. To those who are familiar with its progress and some of its antecedents it Is a vivid reminder of one of those ironic incidents which are commonly supposed to occur nowhere outside the pages of the tragic drama. While she was nursing her sick husband, Mrs. Maybrick (convicted In England of poisoning "the late James Maybrick" in 1889) one day sent out her two children to take air with their nurse. The maid had the younger, little Glayds, In a perambulator; by her side walked James Chandler Maybrick, who at that time was a sturdy little fellow of eight, rejoicing at home in the pet diminutive name of "Bobo." On this fateful day, "Bobo," eager to place a letter in the pillar box, was given by his nurse a packet she had received from her mistress to post. He dropped it in the mud. Of small events great fates may hang. The nurse picked up the letter, endeavored to brush the dirt away, made it worse, and then went Into the postoffice to obtain a new envelope. She there opened the envelope she carried and drew from It the following letter: "Since my return I have been nursing- M. day and night. He is sick unto death. The doctors held a consultation yesterday, and now all depends upon how long his strength will hold out. Both my brothers-in- law are here, and we are terribly anxious. I cannot answer your let ter fully today, my darling but relieve your mind of all fear of discovery now and for the future." It was addressed to a Mr. Brierley, whom Mrs. Maybrick had met in London. At the trial it was declared by her accusers that at this time she was dosing her husband, who suffered from liver and nerve troubles, with minute doses of arsenic, in order to be able to marry Brierley. The letter was written In pencil. The nursemaid did not post it. She folded it again, replaced it in her pocket, and, taking the first opportunity, put it in the hands of Mr. Michael Maybrick, her mistress's brother-in-law. On the "sick unto death" letter the prosecution relied as one of the strongest links in their chain of evi dence, and it no doubt helped to condemn a woman whose conviction occupied the thoughts of Lord Chief Justice Russell (who had defended her when he was Sir Charles) almost to the hour of his death. He never believed her guilty, and was forever casting about for some new and effective means to redress what he believed was a grlevlous miscarriage of of justice. It is interesting.in view of the death of "Bobo" to reconstruct some of Mrs. Maybrick's history in the months Immediately preceding the trial. James Chandler Maybrick was born in 1882, the year after Mrs. Maybrick's marriage in London to Mr. James Maybrick, whom she met In America when he was there on business visits. After their seven years' marriage it fel lout that husband and wife had repeated quarrels and Mr. Maybrick, after the Grand National of 1889, gave his wife a black eye. James Maybrick was a Liverpool cotton merchant, and he died of arsenical poisoning at Bat- tlecrease House, Garston, Liverpool, on May 11, 1889. That Is to say, his wife was convicted of poisoning him. On the other hand, and since, the view has been stoutly maintained that the gastro-enteritls—or congestion or acute inflammation of stomach and bowels—from which he died, was set up by other irritant, and was the effect of a cold contract ed through getting wet at Wirral races. The defence also contended at the trial that the mudstain on the letter was a sheer invention devised by the nursemaid as an excuse for opening her mistress's letters. After the arrest of Mrs. Maybrick, her" children were taken charge of by her husband's relatives. Her death sentence, as everyone recollects, was commuted to penal servitude for life. Mrs. Maybrick spent seven years at Woking and eight at Aylesbury, and from Aylesbury convict prison she was released in February, 1904. She tells in her book, "My i'itteen Years Lost," how the news of her coming liberation reached her. Her twenty years of imprisonment, reduced in the ordinary way for good conduct, to fifteen, expired on July 25, 1904. The governor notified iier how the law had taken its course. "For a moment," she wrote, "I failed to grasp the full meaning of these words, but when I did—how shall I describe the mingled feelings of joy and thankfulness, of relief and hope, with which I was overwhelmed? I returned to my cell dazed by the unexpected message for which for so many long weary years 1 had hoped and prayed." CHANGE OF MANAGER DREADNOUGHT OBSOLETE The first Dreadnought of the new type has already been superseded as the latest and finest sea fighting machine, though she has only been In commission five years—she was launched six years ago- -Admiral William May hauled down his flag three weeks ago, and the original Dreadnought is to be taken in hand for a thorough refitting. An even stronger vessel than e'ther will soon be ready. This is the Orion, which is nearly 5,000 tons larger than the Dreadnought. The rate at which improvements are being effected In the construction of these tremendous battleships means that their period of usefulness Is growing shorter. Formerly warships remained for years as first-class fighting machines but every few years nowadays practically news ships are discarded. During the present year no fewer than nine are under orders to be struck out. E. G. Warren Succeeds J. E. McAllister at British Columbia Copper Company's Smelter J. E. McAllister, wno has been general manager of the Britisii Columbia Copper Company for the past seven years, leaves shortly for New York City, where he will become a member of a firm of consulting engineers in mining. He will still be connected with the British Columbia Copper Company in the capacity of consulting engineer and will visit the properties every three months. He will be succeeded as general manager by E. G. Warren. During Mr. McAllister's seven years' management of the British Columbia Copper Company, It has enjoyed a steady and healthy growth. Its properties have in creased seven times; its expanding resources have been of an equal ratio and still growing, while the cor poration is on a second dividend- paying basis. And while he has had able assistants, Mr. McAllister himself is responsible in no small way for the progressive strides the company has made. His departure from the active sphere of Boundary mining, which he has done so much to develop, will be a matter of general regret and his many friends will wish him success in his new field. Mr. Warren, who succeeds Mr. McAllister as general manager, is receiving congratulations of his many friends on his promotion. Mr. Warren has been smelter superintendent for a number of years and has kept in close touch with the operations of the company, frequently filling the position of general manager during Mr. McAllister's absence.

Friday, May 19, 1911 THE RIFLE CLUB In a new city like Prince Rupert where the conditions for outdoor sports, such as football, lacrosse and kindred games are- nol the best, competitive rifle shooting should have a special fascination. It is a gratifying fact that the young men are taking very enthusiastically to this form of sport, which has the double advantage of giving healthy exercise in the open air and also fits a man to take part, should the occasion ever arise, to act in defence of his country. The club is recognized by the militia department and assisted to a considerable extent by the authorities. Prince Rupert should have marksmen who should rank among tha best in the world. The frontiei' breeds such and this city should be no exception to the rule. The rifle association is something that should have a warm place in the hearts ot citizens. PUBLICITY WORK That an organized scheme of publicity when properly administered can do a vast amount for any community, is proved by an incident connected with settling up the land about the city of Ladysmith, on Von- couver Island. That the Vancouver Island Development League has had a very important share in the work, is shown by the following clipping from a Victoria paper: "That Ladysmith is experiencing an expansive movement is made very apparent by a letter received at the office of the local branch of the Vancouver Island Development League. It states that during the present year there has been something like 2,000 acres of land sold in five and ten- acre blocks. "That is significant enough in itself, but it becomes even more significant when it is accompanied by the fact that many of those taking up the land are people whose names were sent to the secretary of the league in Victoria by the secretary of the local branch immediately on their arrival in this country. Ladysmith and the surrounding district was recommended to them as peculiarly suited to their vocation, and the best tribute to the correctness and adaptability of that district to the requirements of these people is thus furnished, by them taking up the land for cultivation. "Another matter in which the local branch of the league is deeply interested is the exhibtion of a series of photographs representative of the city of Victoria and the various industrial and agricultural points on the island in the leading offices of the cities of Great Britain and Australia. "In connection with this proposition a suggestion has come from an Australian to the effect that two frames, each holding views of a distinct class should be sent. One of them should be devoted to displaying the charms of city life, the architectural and Industrial features, and the other to the. display of the agricultural, horticultural and country life on Vancouver Island. The writer affirms thai once these photographs have, been sufficiently exhibited they could easily find a permanent rost- Ing place in one or the other of the leading offices of Melbourne or Sydney. With a small card attached to each frame It would be possible to Identify the Development League as the source of any Information that they might elicit." Prince Rupert must become the distributing centre from which the fame of the different sections of new British Columbia will become advertised to the world. A well- directed scheme of publicity should give rich returns. WAITING HER TIME ters at Harbin. He said the plague, which has now practically abated, drove foreigners away from northern Manchuria and they suffered greatly. Of a population of 70,000 who were at Fuchiadam, the Chinese city near Harbin, there are but 5,000 residents left. Mr. Oxley, who left Vladivostok on April 21, said the expulsion of Chinese coolies began recently and was being continued, three steamer loads being sent out of Vladivostok for Chefu shortly before he left. This Is the outcome of the policy of the new governor general of the Amur province, who seeks to bring Russian workmen to do the coolie work of the province. Siberian newspapers, referring to the recent dispute between Russia and China, state that the settlement will not be lasting, and foreshadows an outbreak of hostilities. The Harbin correspondent of the "Pria- murie," says it Is generally recognized that China is merely postponing her Intention to wage war with Russia on the Monolian frontier, the Pekin government having an inflated idea of the value of its military strength. This paper, published at Haborovsk, says that most of the Chinese merchants are winding up their affairs with Russian banks at Harbin, stating that their news from Mukden, Kirin and Tsitsihar is such that with the increasing strength of Hungghutze (reinforced by reason of the plague) a second rising similar to that of the Boxers, which would not be easily subdued by the government, is anticipated. o EARLY RISING King George Puts His Mark of Approval Upon Practice in a Very Substantial Way Following the ban on the hobble skirt by the lord chamberlain, Inspired by the Queen, society is eagerly discussing Kin ig George's direction that future courts are to be held one hour earlier. The guests will begin to arrive at half past eight o'clock instead of at half past nine. The King and Queen will enter the throne room at half l.iest nine imtead of half past ton, which will permit the ourts to be brought to a close before midnight instead of in the small hours. King George is a firm believer in rally hours. He told a friend recently that a man cannot expect to smi ceed in business if he does not begin work till the day is half over and he cannot begin early if he is up half the night. • The ruling will have a far-reaching effect, leading to seven o'clock dinners and theatre performances beginning at eight o'clock sharp.

This organization will include, it is hoped all men not now serving in any of His Majesty's forces, yet who by completed navol or military service, or by working, huntin gor fighting, as pioneers and frontiersmen, whose services would naturally be volunteered in event of hostilities. The association of such men in times of peace facilitates good comradeship, confidence and reliability in co-operation on active service; is a fine deterrent of the 'rusting out" process, and provides picked men for scouting and intelligence, who are accustomed to work together. METHODIST COLLEGE | News of the Province PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN China Is Preparing to Go to War with Russia, Is Opinion Expressed Among the passengers of the Sado Maru on her arrival from the Orient, was Mr. C. E. Oxley, of the Anglo- Chinese Commercial Company, who has been engaged in the soya bean trade in eVIanchuria, with headquar- EBURNE—at a meeting of the Eburne and Richmonds boards of trade at Eburne the most important matter discussed was the proposed dual advertising campaign to be carried on by the Richmond and the Point Grey councils. Point Grey has already been written to with a view to an appropriation of $500, providing that the Richmond council donates a like amount. A letter was read from the former stating that the request of the Richmond council had been referred to the advertising committee. Many letters and communications from advertising firms were also read, one In particular which outlines a comprehensive scheme which It was thought might be advisable for the boards of trade and councils to adopt. The secretary, stated, In reply to a question, that with regard to advertising In aesiern and old country papers, the matter was still In the hands of the advertising committee. it was I bought that they would probably be well advised to spend at least $1,200 and that most of the advertising matter should go to wood-working manufacturers of Canada and to farmers who were skilled In intensive farming. VANCOUVER ISLAND TRADE VANCOUVER — William Whyte, vice president of the Canadian Pacific Railway, speaking before his departure for the east, stated that the immense resources of Vancouver Island would become one of the big feeders for the greater Vancouver which is to be. On the Island, the Canadian Pacific subsidiary line between Nanalmo and Alberni will soon be completed. With its com pletion, a direct route from Port Alberni to Vancouver will be brought about—a route a good deal shorter than from Alberni to Victo ria. "Already," said Mr. Whyte, "the Vancouver wholesale houses have the bulk of the trade on Vancouver Island. Victoria, of course, is geographically the centre of the island, but trade has been coming to the mainland and with the opening of the new road, of course, this trade will greatly increase. This will mean much to Vancmouver, for the island s tremendously rich in natural resources, timber and minerals. It is true, however, that it will take much money to develop Vancouver Island." DRYDOCK ASSURED VICTORIA—There appears to be an unfounded idea afloat in some quarters that the drydock scheme is dependent on the building of ships of the Canadian navy here. The dry- dock at Esquimau will be constructed whether any of His Majesty's Canadian ships are built here or not. The plans of the Messrs. Bullen and their partners in this enterprise, William Denny & Sons, the famous shipbuilders, are undisturbed, and the work will go ahead as contemplated under the Dominion subsidy which was recently granted by order- in-council. VANCOUVER—The British Columbia Methodist conference has decided to have a theological college at Point Grey in affiliation with the provincial universityb. This waB the recommendation of the college committee, and it was accepted, practically as proposed. There was considerable debate on the subject, and some amendments were added to the suggested resolution. As passed, the department of theology carried on at present at Columbian college is to be transferred in due course to the new quarters at the university. A new charter will be secured and Columbian college, will be continued as a secondary school, where preparatory courses will be taken. It was decided that steps should be taken to raise $200,000 for the building needs, with an additional $100,000 as the nucleus of an endowment fund, and an amount is also to be secured to place Columbian college on a sound financial basis. LAND I.N DISPUTE VANCOUVER — The Dominion Government will shortly enter suit against the Province of British Columbia for the possession of a large portion of the provincial government lands at Point Grey, and while it is known that the value of the property involved in the impending court struggle between the two governments runs into hundreds of thousands of dollars, the exact extent of the claims of the authorities at Otta- way has not as yet been given out. Instructions have, however, been forwarded to the legal firm of Wade, Wealler, McQuarrle and Martin, of this city, to proceed against the provincial government, and it is understood that a writ will be issued very shortly. The trouble between the two governments arose out of the fact that the limits of the new provincial university site in Point Grey were said to have encroached on the property set aside for the present Dominion wireless station at the tip of the cape. Upon an investigation being made by representatives of the Ottawa administration It was discovered, it was claimed, that the Dominion Government possessed rights which extended not only over the wireless site, but also Included a section in the municipality which has been held for some years by the Province of British Columbia. It Is said that part of the provincial university site, as well as lots and acreage already disposed of at public auction, may become involved in the suit, as being part of the property which the Dominion Government claims belongs in reality not to the government at Victoria, but rather to that at Ottawa. ************************** * * Remember That we Import Our Wines direct from Europe; and that no house In Prince Rupert can * equal them for quality.

The Victoria Liberal association has communicated with Ottawa as a result fo a special meeting of the executive just held. From the provisions inserted in the plans and specifications, upon which the tenders for the construction of warships were invited, no shipbuilder on the Pacific coast, nor any firm which might have contemplated the establishment of a plant here, could have tendered with any hope of success. This feature of the Dominion's naval policy, which, while providing for the stationing of war vessels in Britisii Columbia waters, does not insure their being built on this coast, will now be brought to the attention of the Federal authorities, in order that the letting of the contracts for the four cruisers and six destroyers which are to be built, may, If possible, be delayed until such time as arrangements can be made for those to be located In British Columbia being built on the Pacific. OBSERVATORY LOCATION VICTORIA—The establishment of a seismological observatory In Victoria Is coming within ineasureable distance, and the next step will be lo enable F. Napier Denison, of the meteorological bureau here, to go east to lay the matter before his superiors and later to proceed to England to consult with scientists there. Hon. WiHIam Templeman, minister of mines, has taken a great Interest in the matter, not only because of the honor of having such an Institution in Victoria, but largely because of the value it would be to the mining industry, it having been demonstrated that there is some subtle connection between seismic phenomena and the occurrence of coal-mine explosions. He is arranging with his colleague, the mttster of marine, that leave of absence shall be granted to Mr. Denison and that he shall attend Important scientific conventions in England this summer as the representative of Canada, leaving here some time next month.

The officer had gone to the lodging house In search of some stolen bedding and while walking through the hallway smelled the smoke of cooking opium emanating from the room occupied by the girl. Apparently friendless and alone, the girl broke down and wept bitterly at the police station, stating it would be taking her life to deprive her of the richly ornamented and elaborate layout, as It was "all she had to live for." To her questioners, the girl told a pitiful story, which, as the officer said made him "feel almost ashamed that it had fallen to his duty to arrest her." She says she had been raised in refinement and respectability, and was wooed and won by a rich man's son in Butte, Montana, some two years ago. The wealthy young hus- ************************** !

Alone and friendless, In a strange city, the girl says she tried her hardest to remain satisfied with her lot. The old affection, however, she says, was too strong, and she formed tbe habit of wandering around alone in her lonely state, seeking relief In the ordinary pleasures of life. She formed the habit of visiting Chinese chop suey restaurants, and when shown the relief afforded by opium, she says she found that she could remain alone happily with her long bamboo pipe and opium, and became an Inveterate drug fiend. .' e . - ■,..'.. ,-. . ;,... .....

Cornwall paper on the career of "Newsy" Lalonde, the best-known hockey and lacrosse player In the Dominion, who will play lacrosse for Vancouver this season. Lalonde, besides being the best home player in the game, is probably the most widely advertised athlete on the continent. He was born in Cornwall, Ont., on October 31, 1887, and is consequently in his 24th year. He played his first lacrosse and hockey at school and made his first out-of- town trip in 1905, when he went to Woodstock to play with the hockey team of that town. He played his first senior game in 1908. Lalonde Is the greatest lacrosse and hockey player in the game and according to those who are In the know, will this season draw down the largest salary ever paid a lacrosse lpayer. It has frequently been a matter of wonder as to how Edward Lalonde ever became known as "Newsy." It came about this way. At the age of 14 years, after passing into the high school, he apprenticed himself to the printing trade in the office of the Cornwall Freeholder, and he was not long at the trade until the cognomen was attached to him. As a rule it is the vendors of newspapers who are called the "newsies," but In the case of Lalonde the term was applied to a p inter's apprentice and, though jokingly applied by his boy chums at the time, the appellation has remained a steadfast one, and he is better known as "Newsy" Lalonde than by his Christian name. SPORTS LACROSSE OPENED In a game in which any brilliant faetures were not conspicuous, the lacrosse season was ushered in last Saturday in the south at Recreation Park when New Westminster met and defeated the North Vancouver combination by twelve goals to three. This was the opening game of the season and it was advertised as an exhibition match. There could be no question about it—It was certainly an exhibition. Before the game was a few minutes old, the Ambitious City's representatives were a demoralized team and they were practically beaten from the beginning. They stood absolutely no chance in any department and were completely out-manoeuvred and outclassed. As a game it was only natural under such circumstances that It would be below the average to which the local crowds are accus- ' tomed. It failed to arouse excitement and after the first quarter there was simply a passing interest evinced in the one-sided affair. The chaimpions literally played rings around their opponents. At no period was the Issue In doubt and if New Westminster had settled down to the game in grim earnest there is no telling to what magnitude the score for the Salmon Bellies might have soared. The encounter was really featureless. In not one single phase of the match could the new team boast of equality, to say little of superiority. The teams follow: North Vancouver—Geo. D. Gibbons, J. McOonaghy, Ed. Carter, L. Clarkson, W. McKeown, V. Green, E. Mundy, E. Longfellow, A. Robert son, Slater, E. Murray, R. Douglas H. Horrobin. New Westminster—S. Gray, C. Galbraith, J. Howard, T. GIfford, J. GIfford, Geo. Rennle, Cliff Spring, W. Turnbull, Wintemute, P. Feeney, GIfford L. Turnbull, G. Spring. North Vanoouver will play in Vancouver tomorrow in a second exhibition match to ascertain the place it will have In the league this year. HIGH PAID PLAYER Under the caption: "Life Story of Highest Paid Lacrosse Player in the World—Lalonde Never Sold Newspapers," the Montreal Star reproduces a half-column article from a DERBY FAVORITES One of the most remarkable years in the betting on the English Derby is in evidence in this year of grace. Shetland, the raging favorite of but a week ago, has receded, the unknown having dropped back from 11 to 2 to 100 to 8 against. Lord Bur- goyne, M. Edward Blanc's other colt, has, however, ascended the betting ladder, and the best price procurable about this animal now is 9 to 1 against, writes an old turfman. The horse which has displaced Shetland is Sunstar, the property of Mr. J. B. Joel, which won the Two Thousand Guineas. In the ordinary course of events it is only appropriate that Sunstar should be on top in the betting. This custom has generally prevailed for the past century and on the form of all the horses which will go to the post this year, no other candidate deserves to occupy the position. The second favorite is King William, out of Lord Derby's stable. King William and Sunstar have never met, but Stedfast, also belonging to Lord Derby, has run against Mr. Joel's candidate, finishing second in the Two Thousand Guineas. The Hon. Geo, Lambton, who trains L. rd Derby's horses, should now know whether his candidates hold the key to the situation regarding the outcome of the Derby. In a trial spin, Stedfast beat King William, but reliable information reaches me that the latter was not at his best and that it will take some time before he is ready for the Epsom event. If In another canter at Newmarket, King William proves superior to Stedfast, the question will arise as to the former being able to avenge the defeat inflicted against the stable by Sunstar. This then brings us down to the consideration of two horses. Sunstar or King William is the question. Even at this early date, I am strongly Inclined to the chances of King William, but will not make a final prediction until the Sunday before the Derby, when I shall be In a better position to write according to Information received from the most reliable sources in the Old Country. As explained, I cannot possibly favor the chances of Shetland. He has never run In public and in the eyes of the world has no form whereon a reasonable prediction of his finish in the Derby could be made. 2 to 1 vs. Sunstar Morton 6 to 1 vs. King Wm. ..Lambton 9 to 1 vs. L'd Burgoyne, Denman 10 to 1 vs. Phryxus Taylor 100 to 8 Prince Palatine, Beardsley 100 to 8 Stedfast Lambton 100 to 8 Shetland Denman 100 to 6 Pletrl Watson 100 to 6 Atmah Pratt 20 to 1 Adam Bede ...J.

Jack is making big preparations for his trip to London, and up to date has expended the insignificant sum of $3,482 on his golng- away costume. Lil Artha announced proudly that his wardrobe Included numerous swell English walking suits; several Prince Albert's, another bunch of street clothes and plenty of dress suits. Also that he had a different hat for every suit in the collection. "I do not intend to let any of those dukes and lords over there have anything on me," said Jack. "I paid a big sum of money for the outfit, and believe me there will be some class of Lil Artha when he strolls along the Strand." Mr. Johnsing left for New York, where he has to appear to defend a suit brought by an Italian sculptor for $4,000 for making a bust of the heavy-weight champion. After this legal matter is disposed of, Jack will return to Chicago and prepare for his automobile race-- with Emile Brouard on May 20. If there is anything left of him after the race he, will immediately start for London and the coronation. NOTICE.

CONRAD MINKS Mining .Magnate Tells of Future Operations In Windy Arm .Section of the Province There will be unusual mining development in the Windy Arm district In Northern British Columbia and the Southern Yukon during the coming summer, according to Col. J. H. Conrad, says the Province. The colonel, accompanied by his general manager Mr. Alfred Watson, is at the Hotel Vancouver on his way north after conferring with Sir William Mackenzie and other eastern associates. "Besides prospecting work, on many individual claims there will be be ready for operation in a few days. Thse two claims (Nugget Gulch and China Creek) are now in charge of W. Bowron who is acting on behalf of Beach Lascelle. The hydraulic miners anticipate a splendid season as a result of the heavy snowfall. The weatther is cold and the season backward, but work is in good shape, and as soon as the water begins to run the miners will be ready for It. I. I. Felker has returned from the east, and Is now preparing for the summer work on Perkins Gulch, Lightning Creek. This hydraulic claim was prospected last year, and was purchased last fall by the present owner. Mr. Felker's other property at Worniald Creek is to be reopened, Harry Edens and a gang of being at work there. The work of continuing the sinking of the shaft will be resumed in a week or ten days. Sir Edward Henry, commissioner of police,.has granted the police who do night duty in the country districts within the metropolitan area permission to take a dog with them. ROSY FUTURE FOR MINING "I shall busy myself looking for properties in northern British Columbia, in whose mining future I have the utmost . confidence," so said James Cronin, the most conservative of mining engineers, in an interview In Vancouver on his way to Prince Rupert. The News-Advertiser further says: A man who believes in a rosy future for the north, particularly the Hazelton district, is Mr. James Cronin, a mining operator of Spokane. Interviewed at. the Hotel Vancouver, Mr. Cronin said that owing to the demands of the railway contractors for space on the river steamboats in order to get in supplies, he found he could not get in supplies for his own camp, situated in the Babine Mountains, several hundred miles from Hazelton. He stated that he had decided to abandon operations until he could get the necessary steamboat accommodation. "Meantime" he added, "I shall busy myself looking for properties in northern Britisii Columbia, in whose mining future I have the utmost confidence." extensive development during the coming season on four leading groups controlled by various corporations in which 1 am interested. I refer to the Conrad, British Yukon Company's group, the Yukon District Gold Mining Company and the Montana and Venus groups, all gold- silver properties. 1 will employ two hundred men. Development has been in progress al winter and regular shipmnts ear being made to the Tacoma and Ladysmith smelters since the reduction in the rail haul from Conrad to Skagway, of $1.75 per ton," said Colonel Conrad. Colonel Conrad will also operate his well-known Porcupine placer in southeastern Alaska, a plant for which was installed last season. The flume is 40 feet wide and eight feet deep, sitting on piling driven to bed rock and is said to be the largest of its kind in existence. The ground as indicated by a short run last fall, is rich. Colonel Conrad says it will average $5 per cubic yard. OFFICERS ELECTED Indian Nines Limited Selects its Directors at Meeting in the City. CARIBOO'S MINES Active Year Is Expected in the Hydraulic Properties in the Old District The coming mining season in the Cariboo promises to be one of the most important eras for development that has been seen in this district for many years says the Barkerville correspondent to the Ashcroft Journal. At least six properties are to be equipped for work by eastern capitalists, apart from the work continued by those mines which have been going on throughout the winter. H. H. Jones is preparing to hydraulic Last Chance on Lightning Creek, and has engaged James Ross, e\I. E., late manager of the successful Thistle Company at Eight-Mile lake, to take charge of another property he Is exploiting on Stuart Creek, Big Valley. Large gangs of men are now shoveling snow from the ditches on the Hopp properties. Mr. Hopp has arrived in Barkerville to take charge of the work personally this season. It Is understood that Mr. Muller, superintendent, will not be returning till the fall. The Sugar Creek mine, under the management of J, Thompson, has just received a large consignment of 16-inch pipe, which has been placed on the property, some ten miles from town, by taking advantage of the early mornin gfrosts. L. A, Bonner has gone io reside at Van Winkle to take entire charge of the Lightning hydraulic mine. The antler Creek hydraulic will Present Season Will Be an Active One in Developing the Property The first meeting of the Indian .lines, Limited, a company recently organized to develop the groups of claims on Cascade Creek, which was referred to in the last issue of The Journal, was held on Tuesday after noon in the office of L. W. Patmore, the solicitor of the company. The board of directors elected was as follows: George A. Clothier, of Stewart, president, secretary and managing director; Charles Guzman, Ketchikan, vice president; James Cronin, J. Fred Ritchie and L. W. Patmore, directors. The policy of the company was decided upon at the meeting, which was one of immediate development. The rich showings on the property were referred to in the last Issue of The Journal. Mr. Cronin's report is a most encouraging one and an active season will be spent in fully developing the proposition, which gives promise of being one of the best on the Portland Canal mining division. ALASKA GOLD OUTPUT Prominent Bunker Expects Northern Territory to Produce About $10,000,000 This Season "From Information which I have received from the north this spring, I believe that the gold output of Interior Alaska this season should he close to $10,000,000," said W. H. Parsons, a prominent banker, In discussing the probable gold production of northern camps. "I look for operators in the Fairbanks district to clean up approximately $3,500,000. The Koyukuk district should produce about $1,- 000,000 and other camps in that part of Alaska $500,000 more. Best advices from the Iditarod indicate a clean-up of between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000. My estimate does not take Into consideration Nome. "Sluicing has commenced at Fairbanks and the first gold should reach Seattle within a month. Nearly $1,000,000 worth of gold has accumulated at Fairbanks during the winter. This has come In in small lots from various outlying camps."

LOUIS, MO. U. S. A. NORTHERN BRITISH COLOMBIA LIQUOR CO., LTD., PRINCE RUPERT, B.C. FROM SIR CHARLES TUPPER All Open Letter from the Vetert Statesman to Finance Minister Fielding The Montreal Gazette prints an open letter from Sir Charles Tupper addressed to Hon. W. S. Fielding. Sir Charles begins by saying that, being nearly ninety years of age, he thought that he was out of public life, but as Mr. Fielding found it easier to misrepresent and disparage him than to reply to the unanswerable speech of Mr. Sifton, he feels compelled to notice some of the remarks made by the minister of finance. ■ He cannot accuse Mr. Fielding of lack of courage in denying that he had advanced or advocated annexation to the United States, and then proceeded to point out that in 1868, after Joseph Howe had exhausted every means of defeating confederation, and decided to make the best of it, Mr. Annand, the then proprietor \>f the Halifax Morning Chronicle, proposed to Howe to apply to the United States. Mr. Howe rejected the proposal with scorn, but Fielding remained with Annand, and supported those who hounded Howe to his death and drove him to an untimely grave. In 1872 the opponent of confederation were unable to elect a single member to oppose the government of which Mr. Howe and Sir Charles were members. In 1886, when Mr. Fielding carried the province in a desperate effort to break up the union, Sir Charles went out to Canada in the following year and cured this folly by obtaining the support of 16 out of 21 members from Nova Scotia for the government of Sir John A. Macdonald. Sir Charles then discusses the fisheries question, quoting Sir Alan Aylesworth, as to the permanent value of the modus Vivendi arranged by Mr. Chamberlain and himself. Proceeding, he points oout that Sir John A. Macdonald% espousal of reciprocity was entirely due to the necessity of fightln gthe continental free trade ideas of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. He charges Mr. Fielding with misstating his position in the House when Mr. Fielding brought in his tariff of 1897. Briefly, the contention of Sir Charles at that time war. that the Fielding tariff should be condemned, and the condemnation Mr. Fieldin gcltes referred to an entirely different thing from the Fielding tariff he finally passed, Mr. Fielding having amended the tariff along the lines Sir Charles indicated must be followed. Of the present arrangement Sir Charles says: "I am opposed to your agreement with the United States because Mr. Bayard, in 1886, assured Mr. Chamberlain and myself that the policy of the Democratic party was to remove as soon as they were able the duties on all the articles in your agreement, and President Taft now sees that he can only secure his reelection by the same policy. We owe nothing to the Republican party, and would gain everything without any entangling alliance, which would, I fear, end in the destruction of British institutions in Canada." APPLICATION FOR LIQUOR LICENSE NEW ORDER-IN-COUNCIL Variation Made in the Rules Relating to the Doubling Prices of Crown Lands The order-in-council adopted by the executive council and approved by His Honor tbe Lieutenant Governor, with respect to the recent doubling of the prides of first and second class crown lands throughout British Columbia, which has been varied or modified to that extent that it will not be held applicable to lands applied for and upon which the required deposit of fifty cents per acre had been paid prior to the decision arriver at In respect to the amendment of prices, reads as follows: "That the order-in-council approved on April 3, 1911, Increasing the minimum prices of first, and second class lands from $5 and $2.50 an acre respectively to $10 and $5 per acre respectively shall be held not to apply to applications to purchase such various crown lands which were received by the assistant commissioners of lands on or before April 3, 1911, and with respect to which the required deposit of fifty cents per acre had been received by the said commissioners on or before April 3, 1911."

Friday, May 19, 1911 PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL INSUFFICIENT CARS Interior Mining and Smelting Centres Have Complaint Against Railways. resolution Passed at Rossland Call- ing Attention of Railway Commission to It At a large meeting of the Rossland board of trade, the following resolution was moved by Lome A. Campbell, general manager of the West Kootenay Power and Light Company, and seconded by H. F. Stow, of the Bank of British North America: "Whereas, this district looks to the Crow's Nest Pass coal fields for Its supply of coke; and "Whereas, the price of coke in this district at the present time is all that the low grade ores of this section will stand; and "Whereas, this board being composed of members who are vitally interested in the mining and smelting industries, urges upon the chairman of the conciliation board now in session, to investigate the effect that any increase on coke or coal will have on the mining and smelting industries of this section; and "Whereas, the smelters of this section have been expending large amounts of money on betterments in order that the lower grade ores may be treated at a profit, and should the present wage scale go Into effect as asked by District No. 18 of the United Mine Workers of America, which is an advance of 5.55 per cent on the contract work and 12% per cent on company day men, it means that this would increase the price of coke from 30 to 40 cents per ton. In the case of the Rosland ores an increase of 30 cents a ton on coke will make an increase of six cents a ton on ore treated. In the case of ores of the Boundary an increase of 30 cents a ton on coke will mean an increase of five cent's a ton of ore treated. In view of the fact that the smelters operating in the southern portion of British Columbia at the present time on account of the low prices of metals, are practically making only an even break, and when taking this Into consideration there is very little encouragement from their standpoint in going alter the lower grade ores, of which there Is a large tonnage in the Rossland camp, and if this tonnage can be increased it means giving employment to additional men, whereas, if the cost of treatment is increased it is certain to Interfere wtih the tonnage now being extracted, and in turn will be the cause of laying off a large number of men in this district; and "Whereas, we are creditably informed that the real cause of discontent between the mine operators of District No. 18 is not so much a question of wages as steady time, and we are of the opinion that if arrangements were made with the transportation companies so that an ample supply of cars be given to the different coal companies each and every day, that the miners employed in the coal mines throughout the Crow's Nest district would be making in excess of what the metal min- rs are making in this district. "Therefore, be it resolved, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the chairman of the conciliation board now in session and request that he familiarize himself with the above facts before deciding as to whether or not the miners of the Crow'5s Nest section are entitled to aon increase on the present contract rates now In effect." There was some discussion, following the reading of the resolution, the gist of which was that owing to a shortage of empty cars the men did not work much more than half time. Given a regular supply of cars, even if there was a cut in the wages, they would make more money, and thus it was hoped that the chairman, Dr. C. W. Gordon, would bring the matter before the railway commission at Ottawa. The resolution was carried without a dissenting vote. o - A family moved from the city to a suburban locality and were told that they should get a watchdog to guard the premises at night. So they ■bought the largest dog that was for Bale In the kennels of a neighboring dog fancier, who was a German. Shortly afterward the house was entered by burglars, who made a good haul, while the big dog slept. The man went to the dog fancier and told him about It. "Veil, vat you need now," said the dog merchant, "Is a leedle dog to vake up the big dog." TECHNICAL TRAINING Prof. Robertson Outlines in Interview in London the Scope of the Commission. What Is Intended to Be Done for Canadian Education by the Investigation The London Times, of recent date, contains an Interview with Dr. J. W. Robertson, chairman of the Canadian Royal Commission on Industrial Training nad Technical Education. Dr. Robertson gives the Times the following Interesting account of the work and scope of the commission: "The commission of which I am chairman began a systematic survey of Canada, at Halifax, and we covered the whole Doinion, visiting one hundred places, including every Industrial centre of Importance. We examined 1470 of the leading men and women in Canada in the fields of education, industrial enterprise and labor. The result of our Inquiries is a great volume of authentic Information concerning the needs of our people based on close observation and derived from experience of the actual conditions obtaining in the various localities. The head men—the manufacturers—who had achieved the foremost positions were unanimous in speaking of the great value to tbem of practical experience of workshop conditions during their training. In regard to technical education In general, there was an expression of disappointment or discontent with the results of the schools from the point of view both of the employer and the worker. These two sets of people were of the opinion that the curriculum consisting mainly of book studies, had not developed the habit of close ovser- vation or brought out any power of management; they complain of this as making the young people, when they came to the factories, lacking in initiative and wanting in the qualities which make a good, effective workman. "The rapid development of the country and the many openings for ambitious boys and young men have led them Into all sorts of employment, yielding high wages for the time, but leading nowhere after the end of a few years, so that the boy at 18 finds himself too big for the job for which he was engaged and without any kind of trade to enable him to increase his earning power or to help his locality by becoming a good productive member of society. Many o four employers said very frankly that the rush of business in a new country was so great that they could not be bothered to train apprentices. There was a general expression of opinion that our people are desirous of having more constructive handiwork taught In the schools, primarily to enable the boy to reveal to his teacher and his parents the bent of his abilities so that he may have some development of his power and Inclination for productive occupation. Many said that the boys would continue longer at school If the kind of work they did there appealed to their own judgment as being likely to increase their earning power, and particularly If It was a kind of work that a boy found he excelled in. Many a boy finding himself unable to keep pace with the brightest boys in the book and theoretical studies was discouraged and did not want to continue longer at school. Such boys sometimes had later maturing powers, and if they did well in the manual work would derive fresh courage and confidence and so develop Increased power. "Another result of our inquiries which came out very clearly was the need in the smaller cities and towns of well-arranged and well-taught evening classes for workme'n. We found a very general desire that there should be provision for the boys who had begun to learn skilled trades to attend day classes during some hours a week, making up for what they do not now get because of the dying out of the old apprenticeship system with its training and discipline, especially since the development of Industrial achinery keeps a boy at one job and therefore stunts his developent as a skilled craftsman. The desire was repeatedly expressed that such boys engaged in such an occupation should have a chance elsewhere, If they could not get It in a factory, for developing their ability and skill. This, moreover, would relieve the monotony of automatic labor such at attending to one machine in one particular way."

TITE ■♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Make your selection early before they are all sold Third Avenue GUARANTEED BONDS Dominion Government is Backing the Canadian Northern Railway in Its Proposition. Eastern Portion of Mackenzie and Mann System Will lie Assured by Latest Move Details of the policy of the Dominion Government in the matter of guaranteeing the bonds of the Canadian Northern Railway in order to enable it to complete its through line, are available. Hon. George P. Graham's resolution provides for a bond guarantee for the Canadian Northern Railway that will insure the speedy construction of the backbone of the company's transcontinental line namely, the thousand-mile link from Port Arthur to Montreal. The government will ask parliament to guarantee the bonds of the company to the extent of $35,000 per mile for the whole distance from Port Arthur to Montreal via Sudbury and the Ottawa Valley. The interest on the guaranteed securities is placed at 3%.% per annum, payable half- yearly, with the principal payable fifty years after the first issue. From Montreal the company will have access to the seaboard for its through freight by means of an interchange of traffic at Montreal with the Intel- colonial Railway. From Port Arthur to the Rockies the line is already completed, and is now heading for its Pacific Coast terminus at Port Mann. It is confidently expected, according to the government's announcement, that the aid to be given by the Dominion will go no further than the guarantee of bonds, and that the company will be able to meet all the interest indebtedness out of earnings from the start. As security for the guarantee of the bond issue the country will have a first mortgage on the road itself, as well as on the line from Hawkesbury through Ottawa and Toronto to the Niagara River. In the event of the extrtmely improbable failure of the company to meet its bond indebtedness the government would find itself in practical possession of nearly 1,400 miles of completed railway at a cost of only $35,000 per mile, and this railway would be a natural and completed extension of the Intercolonial to the head of the great lakes. The new line will, with the completion of the Grand Trunk Pacific, give practically all eastern Ontario points three competing lines to the west, and to the west It will give three competing lines to Canadian seaports. It will open up an immense stretch of agricultural and mineral country in northern Ontario and the Ottawa Valley. It will run through the clay belt of the Ontario hinterland at distances varying from 20 to 50 miles from the line of the National Transcontinental Railway, which skirts the northern part of the clay belt. In addition the company proposes to construct a line from Georgian Bay nortli to ihe main line, tapping a country now unserved by railways. The company has now a through line from Ottawa to Quebec. It Is proposed to begin at once the construction of a line branching off from this at Hawkesbury to Montreal. From Ottawa the road will run on the south side of the Ottawa River to the Chats, about thirty miles west of Ottawa. From there it will cross the Ottawa River and run along the north shore to Portage du Fort, where it will again cross the Ottawa, and proceed thence nearly in a straight line to Sudbury, and thence along the route now surveyed to Port Arthur. A feature of the agreement which will be made with the company is that the guaranteeing of the bonds is dependent on the carrying of traffic, unless specifically routed otherwise by the shipper, through to Canadian ports. It may be noted in this connection that the Canadian Northern, unlike its competitors, the Canadian Pacific and the Grand Trunk Railways has no American terminus, and will, therefore, be naturally desirous of encouraging its export business via Montreal, Quebec, Halifax or St. John. * •5* *•* T V VV V V V1 DIVORCE AM) DOUKHOBORS Prosecutions for Bigamy Reveal Convenience of Community Law An interesting marriage question has arisen in the Doukhobor settlements, says the Manitoba Free Press. At the recent assizes at Yorkton, three Doukhobor farmers were found guilty and sentenced to short terms of imprisonment on the charge of bigamy. The evidence showed that these three men were "independent" Doukhobors who had left the community and established themselves as individual farmers. Their wives, acting, it is suggested, under the compulsion of the leaders of the community, refused to accompany them; whereupon they secured new mates. Evidence adduced at the trial showed that divorce in the Doukhobor community is easily obtained, mere separation having this effect, and that the members of the community appear not to be aware that divorces authorized by the customs of the sect are not recognized by the laws of Canada. The cases at Yorkton were instituted for the purpose of informing the Doukhobors as to the law on the subject, and this is the explanation of the light sentences that were imposed. .ludge Brown, in passing sentence, intimated that further offences would meet with severer penalties. He also uttered a special warning to the wives who refused to follow their husbands out of the community, pointing out that if they regard the separation which results as equivalent lo divorce, and remarry, they lay themselves open to severe punishment, It Is well that steps are being taken to enforce the marriage laws of the country In the Doukhobor community, a sit, has been a matter of common knowledge for years that the members of the sect are under the Impression that the divorce customs which are recognized by the community are legal.

The boat, which was topheavy because of her large load, struck a rock in United States bend and capsized. Vessel and cargo are a total loss The crew of three men swam ashore. The regular steamers were expected to begin to operate between Dawson and Lake Lebarge yesterday. The ice of the lake has been so rotten for several days that freighting over it has been impossible. The lake is a broadened portion of the Yukon. Steamers cannot leave Whltehorse, the terminus of the White Pass railroad and head of nav igation on the Yukon, until Lebarge is unfettered. LUMBER TRADE The activity in lumber shipments to Australia has resulted in the cutting down of the regular coal freight, a difference of $1,500 to $2,000 a voyage to the American owners sailing craft in the Australian trade. The vessel carrying lumber depends on the coal cargoes back to San Francisco to help pay expenses, the rate of eighteen shillings a ton, which has been prevalent for son\e time, has been cut to sixteen shillings. Charters written last fall at the high rate have had to be abandoned by ship owners as under conditions imposed by ethe coal importers they are virtually at the mercy of the coal men. The reason for their helplessness is that there is a plethora of tonnage now at and due at Australian ports and the insertion of the shipment clause in the charter. Exports from Paget Sound, British Columbia and Oregon will be 100,000,000 feet since January 1, last, as against only 135,000,000 the whole of last year, and practically all of the vesseis carrying this lumber have been fixed to load coal for return. The charters have provided that the ships shall load at specified collieries, "or other collieries," and the regulation clause relating to delays caused by the strikers not counting against the ships' loading Ib aug mented by an insurance clause, the face of it favorable to ship owners. Owners for a month have the privilege of cancelling this charter in ease of strike or lockout at the colliery, it is said. o NO SETTLEMENT (Continued from Page One) upon the spirit manifested throughout the proceedings and thanked the public for the good order preserved through the sessions. The present adjournment will last for several weeks. o The late Mr. Hoe, of New York, was best known as a maker of printing presses. By way of diversion he was a collector of rare books. Out of his library 3,500 books and manuscripts have been sold at auction since his death for $997,363, or nearly $300 for each Item. The largest price was $50,000 for a Gutenberg Bible, which is the most ever paid for a single volume. The $10,- 000 for a book of John Winthrop, printed in Boston in 1645, is the most ever paid for an American vol- dme. It is said that the whole library will bring $3,000,000, which is probably four or five times the cost to the late owner. o Lieutenant Clive Phillips Woolley, R. N., son of Captain Clive Phillips Woolley, so well known as the representative of the Navy League in Canada, has been appointed to the command of the destroyer H. M. S. Thorn, of the fifth destroyer flotilla. o "Don't you wanter hire a feller to keep the tramps away, missus?" asked the boy. "How can you keep the tramps away," demanded the missus. "Easy enough," replied the boy; "I kin eat up all the pie an' things wot's left over." BAKERS' NOTICE The undersigned, after a meeting of the Prince Rupert bakers held last night, unanimously agreed that on and after Friday, May 19, 1911, the price of bread in the city will be 16 loaves for one dollar ($1); seven for 50 cents and three for twenty- five cents.
