He Wns Accompanied by William Manson, Representing the District, iiikI Oiricinls Hon. Thomas Taylor returned to the city on Sunday evening by the steamer Henriette, after a tour of the Queen Charlotte Islands In company with the member for this great northern district of the province, W. Manson. The lc?cnl member seems to have won the hearty sympathy of the minister of public works, who is giving the closest attention to the needs of the north, making frequent triiis here to go into the requirements of the country. Mr. Taylor is an extremely practical minister. He has established a reputation at Victoria for keeping well in touch with the needs of the scattered parts of the province and is able now to tell quite correctly just what the requirements are. In this way his office has become a very valuable accessory to the government and in consequence of his exact information the money will be all the more judiciously expended. On the present trip the representatives of the people were accompanied by the road superintendent of the district, Mr. Jennings, and Mr. Gil- Hngham of this city, who is to take charge of the work under Mr. Taylor's department on the Queen Charlotte Islands. The work in this district is multiplying at such a rate that it has been found necessary to divide it to a considerable extent so that It may be the more expeditiously done and a better supervision kept over It than Is possible under the former system. The government Is alive to the pressing needs of this portion of the province and Is prepared to back up Mr. Manson's recommendations wherever It is possible to do so with the funds aavilable. On the present trip the party landed at Masset. After an inspection of that portion of the island they started out on foot over the trail in the direction of Skidegate and Queen Charlotte City. This trail Is being widened oy the government and otherwise put In better shape for the public. The Intention is to eventually transform It Into a wagon road between the points mentioned so that the freest communication by land may be established. At the present time the minister says it will only be widened and improved. The party walked the first 14 miles uf the route as far as Tel-el River. At that point they took to horse back and proceeded the remaining distance of about 30 miles in that way. This mode of locomotion is not a new one to Mr. Taylor, who has come to be called them inister on horseback owing to his habit of reaching the more inaccessible portions of the province by that primitive method of travel. At Queen Charlotte City a public meeting was held when the residents of the outlying sections, Including Skldegate, Lawn Point, and other portions of the Island, were present to here the questions of the day discussed and to present their views before the member for the district and the minister of the crown. From here the party proceeded to the southern part of the Islands, calling at all the points and looking Into the needs of the different settlements. In as far as there was time to do so, the outlying mining camps near the dirferent centres were visited and the best means of meeting the needs of these studied. Wherever It Is possible to do so, facilities will be provided to meet the immediate demands of these camps. Mr. Taylor was very much Impressed with the Islands. Interviewed on the prospects there, he said that he thought that there would be lminenBe opportunities for stock raising at different points on the Queen Charlottes. He had seen some of the stock at Masset and he said he never say cattle In better condition. He was informed that these cattle ran out all winter and were fat In the spring. They certainly showed signs that that was the condition. He believed that all over the Islands there would be magnificent opportunities for grazing. The fishing Industry was sure to be a most valuable asset to the Island. It would In all probability be the greatest Industry that would exist there. At Pacofl where there was a plant capable of handling 55 tons a day, a new company representing Vancouver capital had just taken over the business and were pushing it forward. The development of this part of the province was, in the opinion of Mr. Taylor, something of the greatest importance to Prince Rupert as it would all be tributary to this centre. There was the most, hopeful feeling all over the Islands with respect to the mining resources and the indications were certainly very bright in many cases. Altogether he had little doubt but that the Queen Charlottes would soon become one of the richest producers in the province. Local News Garnet Graham, of the provincial police force at Hazelton, was in the city for a few days this week. The regular meeting of the St. Andrew's society will be held in the Carpenters' Hall on Friday evening next.

The camp Is on Morice Creek In the interior. During the summer, it will be remembered a forest fire swept over the district and put the steam drill out of commission. It was necessary to send out for repairs and these have just been installed and the drill started up.

The hand drill has been kept working with good results and the prospects are very bright at the camp. o Mrs. Musgrave, of Victoria, spent several days here this week visiting her husband, Capt. Musgrave, of the hydrographlc steamer Lillooet. Duncan Ross has arrived from the south after a short visit. He will proceed In a day or two to Hazelton and remain in charge of his section : the G. T. P. until the Skeena River oezes up. The business men of the city have indicated that they are thoroughly aroused over the question of the disagreement between the G. T. P. and the city on the question of the assessment of the railway reserve property. Feeling that it. was necessary to take prompt action a meeting was held on Saturday in the office of P. I. Palmer when the subject was discussed at length and a decision reached that it would be well to have a meeting with the city council and consider the whole subject. Communication with the mayor showed that he was quite agreeable to the proposal to get together and discuss the subject and as a result a gathering was held in the city hall on Saturday afternoon when nearly all the members of the council were present and about fifty prominent business men also assembled. There was an entire absence of ill feeling, all meeting with the apparent desire of devising some way of overcoming the difficulty and advancing the best interests of the city. Mr. Law explained the object of the gathering and suggested that Thomas Dunn act as the spokesman for the citizens. The latter at once proceeded to the point. He made it quite clear that he considered that it was essential in the best interests of Prince Rupert that the city should meet some official of the G. T. P. and endeavor to bring about a settlement of the difficulty. It was something that affected the business life of the city very materially and he thought an amicable agreement could likely be reached. Edmonton's Example It was pointed out that other cities gave exemptions from taxation to the G. T. P, to have connection with it and the case of Edmonton was cited in this connection. A very free discussion followed In which the various aspects of the case were brought forth. Aid. Mclntyre said Edmonton offered a very different case to this city. Edmonton was afraid that the G. T. P. would not come there. It paid $175,000 to secure it, giving exemption of property and buying a right of way at a cost of about $500,- 000. Mr. Dunn said that Vancouver was not In so much different a position from Prince Rupert, yet it gave the C, P. R. a very large area in the heart of the city and gave a right of way there. Aid. Pattullo contended that the cj. T. P. had got very liberal treatment here. Mr. Dunn's Solution Mr. Dunn said to bring the matter to a head he favored sending word to Vancouver and endeavoring to get D'Arcy Tate the solicitor of the G. T. P. here and open negotiations looking to a settlement. Aid. Lynch said he did not look upon this as a charity proposition. It was a business transaction. Edmonton In its move was getting the railway from some other place. Vancouver in securing the C.P.R. got It away from Port Moody. If the G. T. P. were a railway not located here and It was felt that something should be done to bring it in, the situation would be different. It might then be worth while to give $1,000,000 to secure it. Mr. Dunn pointed out that the citizens believed the assessment on the G. T. P. property was not right. It was too high. Aid. Lynch contended that it was not part of the duty of the council to adjust this. Mr. Dunn wanted to know whose duty it was then. Aid. Lynch suggested that if the council started In on such duties there would be no end of it to be done in considering everybody's claim. Loss of Taxation Aid. Pattullo wished to know where the loss In taxation was to come from if the G. T. P. was exempted as proposed. The estimates had been prepared on the strength of securing it. Mr. Westenhaver could not see why this matter should not be adjusted. He favored an amicable settlement. The assessment was abnormal, he thought. Why not get It down to a reasonable basis by compromising on the basis that the company spend money here at once on its works? He did not believe In taking advantage of a technicality. He sugegsted that a vote be taken as to the feeling of the meeting. Aid. Pattullo said he did not believe the question could be voted on intelligently. Mr. Westenhaver did not believe It a wise thing to plunge the city Into litigation over this matter. Aid. Pattullo suggested that If the question of assessment on the railway lands be opened up the assessment on the other property of the company be also considered. The unsold sections were assessed, he understood on the basis of wild lands at a low rate. Mr. Westenhaver thought this might be adjusted all right. M. M. Stephens said he had some very "wild" land. It had not been so assessed and he thought there might be good reason for taking up the "wild land" question. Aid. Smith Favors Aid. Smith who had remained quiet up to this time, then expressed his opinion. He said it was not the H. N. Boss has returned from a business trip to the south. * * * Hon.

Mrs. Jeffeson left last night by the Prince George for Southern California. The two ladies left in June for the coal camp of Thomas Jefferson on Morice Creek. An attack of rheumatism which Mrs. Jefferson contracted forced them to stay at Hazelton for some weeks and they failed to get all the way to Mr. Jefferson's camp. They had a delightful trip to the Telkwa, however. Mrs. Jefferson Is so charmed with the district that she will return with her husband next spring. * * * Bowered in a mass of evergreens and brilliant wild flowers, Hyde Park Corner, the camp of Lewis Coleman- Hall, was on Sunday the scene of a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon tea, says the Portland Canal Miner.

The function was the first of its kind given in Stewart and sets the pace for other lone Bohemians to return the kindness of their lady friends. The settings of Mr. Hall's camp were picturesque and his artistic taste had full scope In the arrangement of the floral decorations. The invitations were done in colored sketches and were decidedly unique. o INSPECTING WORK Party With Project in View Has Cone Into the Skeena Valley.

He Is In reality the executive head of the hydrographlc service which is represented on this coast by Captain Musgrave and his staff on the Lillooet. The Lillooet was In port during the greater part of the time that Mr. Stewart was here so that he had an excellent opportunity to consul with Capt. Musgrave. Mr. S'tewart was on one of his STARTING HOTEL There reached the city on Sunday a party that has In view plans that will mean much for tlie development ■ if ibis part of the province. The party is from Victoria nnd Includes .1. it. Anderson, formerly deputy minister of Agriculture for the province, F. E. Mitchell ami Mr. Carlton, both of whom are well known in this city. Associated with these men in the project they have in hand, is C. Hanson & Sons, who are to take a very active part in the arrangements. The principals in the affair are not very communicative respecting their plans. They have gone up the Skeena river and will there examine land in connection with the project. The great feature of the plan in view is the establishment of a farm on a very extensive scale, The farm will it is believed, be conducted under the immediate charge of the Hanson Bros., and will be carried out on a most extensive scale. Included in the plans is the planting of a large orchard and connected with that will be a nursery where the young trees for future planting in the district will be cared for, and varieties adapted to the climate will be available. It is reported also that there will be a great stock farm in connection with the scheme so that the farming operations will not be dependent upon one branch of the industry alone. The putting of the live stock on the land will be proceeded with without delay, according to the plans so that there will soon be an income from the land. The project is not one that will be confined to the one organization. It will have far reaching effects upon the whole of the country. Those directly Interested are, it is said, planning to develop a wide section of the rich agricultural lands of the Skeena on a comprehensive scale that will work to the advantage of all settlers who go into the country. This Is the first of the moves on a very large scale, but there Is reason to believe that before many months pass there will be many other such "propositions launched and the agricultural resources of this northern part of the province will be developed to an extent that will astonish the older parts of the country. With a rich district within easy reach by rail of this city, with a market to be established here that will be one of the very best on the coast, and with no mistakes to rectify, the opportunities for carrying on farming operations either on a gigantic scale or in a more modest way are such as to attract the best in that industry.

THE PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Tuesday, September 6, 1910 * PLACING OF MUNICI Monet-ry Times deals with a subject which is of special interest to rest time—Character of Securities treated from the standpoint dents of Prince Rupert at this of the investors. ..;..;. »>.;«►> .;..;«• The Monetary Times says: The Issue in London in June of £453,000 four per cents of the city of Vancouver was only partially successful. The stock was registered instead of to bearer, and this being somewhat of an experiment with Canadian municipal securities overseas, there was a disposition in some quarters to ascribe the comparatively poor reception of the loan to that fact. A London contemporary, for instanee, in analyzing the result of the issue, stated that the investing public "has now become educated to the point that it no longer wants a registered stock. The wideawake investing public of the present day wants bearer stock, for the simple and sufficient reason that bearer stock can be passed from hand to hand. In the case of a colonial bond, such as the Vancouver four per cents, the bearer certificate has the great additional advantage that income-tax on the unearned income derived from it need not be paid so long as the Interest does not come into this country. Mr. Lloyd George himself stated in the House of Commons, on Wednesday, that under the Finance (199-20) Act, 1910, an individual is not required to include in his statement of income, for the purpose of assessment to supertax, income derived from capital invested out of the United Kingdom, which is not at any time received, or brought, or remitted into the country." Stocks Compared Commenting upon this article, another London contemporary, Canada, expressed considerable surprise at the above statements. "We can not allow such a statement to pass unchallenged," it said. "The veriest tyro in finance must know that in the British market registered stock has the greatest attractions than bearer bonds possess, and judged by the fact that a higher price is always obtainable for a stock that is inscribed, the public does not prefer the latter security. Confirmation ot this statement can be obtained by inquiring of any leading financial issuing house in London. The real cause of the comparative failure of the Vancouver loan was the fact that the market for Canadian provincial and municipal securities was suffering from congestion owing to the merely moderate success attending the flotation of the city of Winnipeg loan at 103, and the almost complete failure of the Manitoba loan at the same price. The city of Edmonton issue was also only poorly responded to by the public. These contretemps, together with the knowledge that the cities of Toronto and Montreal are only awaiting a favorable opportunity to appear as borrowers, were surely sufficient explanation for the non-success of the Vancouver issue, without attempting to belittle the class of security offered. It is interesting to note that the city of Chicago within the last two months, after inviting tenders for several million dollars at 4% par cent bonds, failed to get a single bid at over par. Canadian municipalities are fortunate in having the London market behind them; the anomaly exists all the same that the city of Vancouver should be able to borrow on better terms than Chicago, one of the greatest cities in the world." So far as Vancouver is concerned, the Monetary Times is inclined to tnink the question of registered stock or to bearer had little influence on the reception of the loan. Market conditions appear to have been largely responsible. On the other hand, considerable difference of opinion exists amongst authorities as to the merits of the two forms of securities. The Monetary Times has obtained the opinion of several leading London financial houses interested in the flotation of Canadian issues. '"Ihe question appears to us too comprehensive for the laying down of hard and fast principles," writes au important firm, which interestingly summarizes the situation. "Each form of security has several advantages and disadvantages which must he cousidered concurrently with the particular character of the security to be issued, as well as with the class of Investor to whom It is intended to apepal. The recent increase of the government stamp duty from % per cent to 1 per cent on all bearer securities negotiated in this country (Great Britain), constitutes a heavy item of expense in connection with the issue of bearer bonds in London In the case of municipal offerings, where tenders are'invited and com petition arises between houses it Canada and in London, it seems probable that this increased stamp duty will tend to outweigh other considerations involved in the selection of the form of security, and have the efi'ect of causing financial houses to make arrangements for the issue of such loans on this side in the form of registered stock. Added Cost "\\ hen a new issue of registered stock is made, such stock is register- able into the first subscribers' names free of stamp duty. All subsequent transactions in the security, are however, subject to an 'ad valorem' stamp duty of % per cent, payable by the purchaser, and in addition, a fee f 2s 6d per deed of transfer is usually charged by the registrars. "As a dealer in buying stock always runs the risk of not being able to sell It Immediately, and would, therefore, have to take it up into his own name or into that of his banker, paying thereon the above-mentioned % per cent stamp duty and fees, the result is that in registered stock it Is, generally speaking, impossible to have as free a market, or obtain as close a price when dealing, as In bearer securities. "A point in favor of registered stocks is that they can usually be bought in multiples of £1, and are, therefore, more convenient for the small investor, who can thus purchase amounts that will absorb the exact sum at his disposal. Many of these small investors do not care for the responsibility of holding bearer securities when they can have a certificate In their own names which is only transferable on a separate deed of transfer signed by them. Moreover, they prefer to have their dividends mailed direct to their registered address, instead of having to detach coupons, and have them presented at a bank for payment. Prefer Bearer Securities "On the other hand, the higher grade of securities are very largely held by Insurance companies, and financial and public institutions, who would undoubtedly prefer to hold a bearer security that could be readily used for purposes of collateral,-and which would have the more active market that bearer securities usually promote. To cater for the small investor when It Is decided to issue bearer bonds, some part of the issues is occasionally made in bonds of as small a denomination as £20, while in France it is almost the Invariable custom to have all bonds In denominations of 500 francs. "The foregoing are, in our opinion, the most important points for and against each form of security that have to be considered; but if we were to attempt to sum up the position in a general way we should say that where the standing of the issuing authority, municipal or otherwise, .» high, and is sufficiently known to investors in this country (Great Britain), to justify expectations of a broad market in its securities, then there is very little to choose between the two forms of security, the balance of favor perhaps being slightly with registered stocks. In cases where the borrowing corporation is not well-known over here, we should be Inclined to recommend bearer bonds." Another house states that the great finance houses, Insurance companies, and the continental market, demand bonds, but the general English investor will not have bonds at any price. Consequently, when the demand for securities is a special one, caused by a plethora of money in the financial centres, bonds are in demand, but when the demand for securities is a general one, registered stock Is required. The same firm think that the failure of the city of Vancouver loan was simply due to the fact, that It was offered at too high a price, the securities of the greatest cities In the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States, Including New York, being obtainable to yield a higher rate of Interest. To Become Popular From a prominent London house which has Interested considerable capital in Canada, comes the opinion that registered stock Is likely to be more popular than bearer securities, if the price is favorable, and It Is made free of stamp duty by the Issuing authorities. "It Is preferred to hearer securities for the reason that there is not the same danger of loss, and the Interest is remitted regularly to the registered holder, who Is not obliged to cut off coupons and pay them Into a hank for collection. The issue of registered stock is perhaps a little more expensive to the municipality If the stamp duty Is com muted; otherwise It is cheaper, as there is no stamp duty on the first securities issued, and the subsequent duty is a matter between the seller and the buyer." The stamp duty on bonds remains at '/£ per cent instead of being increased to 1 per cent as was proposed. The commutation stamp duty on municipal securities is at the rate of Is per £100 per annum, and if the stock is made duty free It adds to Its value. "The cost of keeping registers of stock is also more expensive than the charges that are made by banks for the payment of bank coupons. Bearer securities are much more popular on the continent than registered stock, and that if there is a likelihood of any securities of the kind being marketed on the continent, this fact should be borne in mind." The experience of another financial house in the world's metropolis is that investors In England infinitely prefer registered stock to bearer securities, in such flotations as that of the city of Vancouver. "The class of investors who buy these securities are those who are, as a rule, making a permanent investment, in which case both from a point of security and from the point of dividend payments, registered stock is preferable to bearer securities." FISHING RETURNS What the Industry Does For Cities in the Old Land Of late years the fishing industry in the neighborhood of Peterhead has grown so remarkably that the town of Aberdeen alone made a profit of over $5,000,000 last year, while other towns have shown marked growth and increased prosperity. This information is of especial interest to residents of Prince Rupert where the industry on the Pacific coast Is shortly to centre. Fine buildings are springing up, tramways and garages are being built, and quite excellent shops are to be found everywhere. The line harbor for the fishing fleets at Peterhead is already half completed. «!iHiniiiiHiiiiiEii>iiiiaini«iiwiR«HiB:Eiioiiiii!uniHnBiciiiiiiiiHiiiiaiEiininainiiiiiVk H i HAYNOR BROS. 1 House Furnishers „,'""""'" """"" *""''""""' Dunedin Block, corner of Second B Avenue and Eighth Street. * S( 8 Some snaps in slightly damaged goods which we want to clear S m out before moving into new quarters in Manson Blk., Third Ave. | FUNERAL FURNISHERS HAVE IJONDED CLAIMS / Captain John Irving Secures Two Good Prospects The Daley and Sullivan group of two claims situated three miles back from the Red Cliff Extension at Stewart has been bonded to Captain John Irving, of Victoria, for $35,000.

CANCELLATION OF RESERVE NOTICE Is hereby given that the reserve existing on Crown lands in the vicinity of BablUe Lake, and situate in Cassiar District, notice of which bearing date June 30th, 1909, was published In the British Columbia Gazette, dated July 2nd, 1908, Is cancelled. ROBERT A. RENWICK, Deputy Commissioner of Lands. Lands Department, Victoria, B. C, June 16th, 1910 (First insertion July 5.) 1 Tuesday, September 6, 1910 PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL COMMISSION'S WORK Court for Hearing Railway Disputes Has Disposed of Many Cases During Year. There is Not Likely to be Division as to Jurisdiction Between East and West The utility of the railway commission of Canada and the wide scope of Its jurisdiction are indicated in figures for the fiscal year ended on the 31st of March. In that time there were 6,125 applications, Including complaints, to the board. The number of complaints alone was 694. Orders Issued by the board totalled 3,310, and filings referring to cases, 33,337. Compared with the previous year, the apllcations increased by 2,646, and orders by 1,061. Documents filed Increased by 9.807. Of the cases brought before the commission the proportion so far has been about three operating to one traffic case. Under the former head come such matters as crossings, locations and train services. Traffic cases relate exclusively to freight and pas- seng' rates. Some time ago telegraph telephone and express companies were brought within the jurisdiction of the board, but so far very few specific cases respecting these corporations have been heard. This Is attributable to the fact that there have been general inquiries into the rates and operating conditions of the telephone and express companies, to a lesser degree, into telegraphs, as affecting press messages. The disposition has been to hold Individual cases in abeyance, pending the determination of the general questions. Judgment may be expected next month in the long-standing express rates case and soon, also, in regard to te'ephone rates. In respect to commercial telegraph tolls there has been no general inquiry as yet. No Division From the West comes occasionally talk of dividing the commission into eastern and western sections, but it is not likely that this will be done Two bodies exercising concurrent jurisdiction over the same corporations might not agree, and conflict would result between judgments of the two sections. The plan heretofore has been to send a part of the commission west periodically but to make Ottawa the permanent head quarters. The sysiem of sitting in various cities tends to greatly reduce the expense of litigation on complaints before the board. There are almost as many cases heard in Toronto as In Ottawa, thus operating to the advantage of the parties from the districts interested in cases before the board. While, until there is a further conference in October, nothing definite will be done about it, it is pretty certain that the negotiations between the Canadian and United States governments will eventuate in the formation of an international tribunal to deal with through traffic cases. It Is not Improbable that Instead o\ naming an entirely new commission it may be composed of Chairman Mabee of the railway commission, anit Chairman Knapp of the interstate commerce commission. o FREE TRADE IX EMPIRE Socialists and the Irish Nationalists who show any desire to keep the question iu the arena of political controversy. When this question is settled opportunity will be found for consideration of the very burning questions having to do with tbe issues of tariff reform and questions affecting the condition of the people. On the question of tariff reform, Mr. Hammersley is an enthusiast. In fact, he says that the main Inspiration of his entry into political life In the old country was that he might be able to do something to bring about free trade within the empire. The statement as to whether there has been an agreement or not with respect to the House of Lords will not be made until parliament meets again in November. o "My husband is so poetic," said one ladyone lady to another in a car the other day. "Have you ever tried rubbln' his j'ints with hartshorn liniment, mum?" interrupted a beefy looking woman with a market basket at her feet, who was seated at the lady's elbow and overheard the remark. "That"l straighten him out as quick as anything I know of, if he ain't go' it too bad." o Subscribe for The Prince Rupert journal now.

St. George Hammersley, who for many years occupied the position of city solicitor in Vancouver, has arrived on the coast. Mr. Hammersley, as is well known, hold3 a seat In the British House of Commons as representative for the Woodstock division of Oxfordshire county, having been returned for that seat at the last general election. Owing to the uncertainty which obtains as to what Is to be the outcome of the question affecting the constitution of the House of Lords, he says the whole situation is In a state of unrest at present. It is not yet known what disposition will be made of the matter by the conference now taking place between representatives of the government and opposition parties, but Mr. Hammersley Intimates that there is a very widespread desire In the old country that the question be removed from the domain of party dispute. He things It probable that some line of agreement on which they can act, will be arrived at and such a settlement would be satisfactory to all moderate people.

P. and the city may be amicably adjusted. The citizens have taken a deep Interest in the matter and have made their views known to the council at an informal meeting held in the city hall on Saturday. We believe that the council will be prepared to take the views there expressed, especially if backed up by a further expression of public opinion, as a mandate from the people of the city that they desire a settlement on the basis of a compromise as to the amount of taxation which the company will have to bear on its railway property in this city. There Is a tendency in some quarters to judge the members of the council who met the G. T. P. officials a little more harshly than Is deserved under the circumstances. It must be borne in mind that the members of the council are the trustees representing the citizens at large. It may have been, as one of the speakers at Saturday's meeting expressed it, that they did not act as diplomatically as they might have done, but they stood on the legal rights that they had and with a fixed amount to meet in the way of taxation they were reluctant to allow any taxes to escape them, without some other source of revenue being shown them. As it now stands the council will be up against a deficit if a very heavy reduction is made. Under all the circumstances we favor a reduction in the taxation on the G.T.P. which seems necessary if work is to begin on some of the terminals here at once. The council may well demand, however, an unequivocal mandate from the citizens that that course is desired and that they are prepared to meet the altered conditions. It will be possible, we believe, to arrange with the G.T.P. a settlement that will not mean entire exemption upon the railway lands which total about 340 acres. The taxes on that portion of the city represents about one-half the taxation proposed to be raised although the acreage Is only about one-sixth that of the city. While, as waterfront, there will In time be a special value attaching to part of the land, yet at the present time it is not practically more valuable than other land, especially in view of the fact that to make it ready for railway purposes a vast amount of money has to be spent on it. Taxed In the same ratio as the rest of the townsite, the company's land would give an income to the city of about $35,000 this year. In view of an early start on permanent works here the city might possibly make a compromise which would ensure taxation amounting to a few thousand dollars less than this or from $15,000 to $25,000. The company would expend a sum many times in excess of this if induced to begin work at once nn the round houses, the station and the hotel. The cessation of work on these represents a loss to the city for the next few months that cannot be estimated as proportionate to the sum that would he spent by the company on these works. There is the effect upon outside capital that will be deterred from coming in on account of il. The whole question is one of dollars and cents. It is a question of expediency that lias to be decided and the discussion of whether on principle it is right or wrong lo granl exemption should have little part In the matter so far as local citizens are concerned. It resolves itself in the final analysis into whether It will pay. Mr. Chamberlin, when he left the city, Issued instructions, we are informed, that the material for the round bouses that were to have been started at once, should be stored In temporary buildings put up for the purpose until such time as it was deemed necessary to begin work. At this stage of her history, Prince Rupert cannot well afford to have works like this held up. Let the citizens make their will known to the council In the matter, and we doubt not that the arrangements will be carried out according | to their wishes. A GREAT METROPOLIS "In the future, British Columbia will have two great cities, each independent of the other, each having its own territory to draw from and neither interfering with the trade or business of the other. Vancouver will be the metropolis of southern British Columbia, and Prince Rupert, of tho northern section of the province." The above is the statement made By Charles M. Hays, president of the Grand Trunk Pacific, upon his arrival in Vancouver, after his last visit here. The people of Prince Rupert agree with him on the point. DEATH OF CAPT. AMSBURY Well Known Shipping Man of Vancouver Died Suddenly A seaman, born of a race of bold navigators, a skipper at the age of twenty-one, a business man highly esteemed in shipping circles in this city and the Pacific coast, Captain Fred W. Amsbury, one of the partners in the Vancouver and Victoria Stevedoring company, died Saturday at his home In Vancouver. He is survived by a wife and family. His death was wholly unexpected, and came as a great shock to his many friends In that city. Captain Amsbury was born in the state of Maine forty-six years ago, his father and fathers before him being of that race of hardy seamen who made the state famous. His father, a master of a full-rigged sailing ship, chose the sea as a profession for the son, and before the younger Amsbury was twelve years of age, he had started his life's profession as a cabin boy on one of the numerous vessels that ply out of the many harbors of Maine. At twenty-one years of age, a time when the average navigator is either before the mast or still in some nautical college, young Amsbury was made captain and given command of his first ship. A curious tale has often been related by the captain. At the time he received his first command he chanced to be sailing through the English channel, and there spoke another American ship. After the usual formalities had been passed, the skippers inquired as to the name of the other, with the result that young Amsbury read by the signals that his father commanded the other vessel, while the elder Amsbury was equally surprised when he learned that his son was master of the vessel he spoke. Captain Amsbury gave up the sea about nine years ago, and coming to Vancouver became identified with the Vancouver & Victoria Stevedoring Company. o Death of Commander Dunlins HAZELTON'S RICHES District Tributary to Prince Continues to Reveal Wealth. Rupert Prospects That There Will be a Decided Move in That Direction Shortly Victoria. —- The death occurred lately in County Galway, of Commander F. F. C. Dundas, a brother of Mr. J. E. F. Dundas, of Victoria, and at one time stationed at Esquimau. The late Commander Dundas had an eventful carer, seeing much of active service. He was twice wounded In action, was mentioned in dispatches for his gallantry, and won two medals with clasps and also the Khedive's bronze star. Both in the successful Witu expedition to the east coast of Africa and in the Benin campaign he took an active part, receiving a severe wound in an encounter at Benin. He was also present at engagements off the Chinese coast and in Egypt. In seamanship he was particularly noted for the skilful management displayed in bringing his ship to her moorings, despite adverse conditions of weather wind and tide. The funeral, with full military honors, took place from the family seat, Clobemon Hall, Wexford. Another surviving brother is Col. Sir Lorenzo G. Dundas, K.C.B., a Crimean veteran. At the end of eighteen months' operation of Sir Richard Cartwright's government annuities scheme, annuities amounting to $560,000 have been sold. The average annuity is $250. Approximately one-third of the annuities are purchased by women. o The Canadian trade commissioner at Melbourne, Australia, advises the department of trade and commerce that British Columbia packers have secured practically all the Australian orders for sockeye salmon. o George D.

In the opinion of mining men who have gone over the ground the Hazelton District is likely to come into more than ordinary prominence next summer when by means of the G. T. P. better transportation facilities will be provided. The large number of men prominent in mining circles who continue to make pilgrimages up the saoenn, many of them going many times during the summer, indicates that there is more than mere curiosity aroused. The Omineca Herald In Its last number publishes a letter from R. P. Trimble, a mining man of Portland, Ore., relative to the new discoveries In the district near the south end of Babine lake where, native silver had been discovered by two prospectors, Severson and Swanson. Mr. Trimble has spent the summer In this district for the past four years and is representing large capital in Portland and Spokane. Writing under date of August 17, he says:— "We have struck free gold and native silver near the south end of uabine lake, about fifteen miles from the Grand Trunk right of way. The ore occurs both free and with tel- lurides, and is similar to the ore deposits of Cripple Creek. There the hills are low lying, with a basement rock of granite, over which were spread breccias and tuffs. Through these came dykes. The whole region is surrounded by granite. So in this country the hills we have struck the rich stuff in are the low lying ones, close to the lake. "The basement rock Is granite and is covered with something that looks like quartzite, and this Is cut by dykes. The ore is very rich in places and much replacement has occurred In the country rock adjoining the fissures. I have found net work gold in the country rock, alongside of several small fissures which carried wire silver. "We have located several claims ourselves and have also purchased outright or bonded all the claims located by Severson, Swanson, Haynes and Macdonald. They and ourselves are the only ones that I know of who have come Into this new place. 'The district Is about two and a half miles wide, but how long It is I had no time to find out." o "Ah, my poor man," said the sympathetic housewife as she handed out a wedge of gooseberry pie, "tell me the story of your life?" "Ah, mum, It Is a sad tale," responded Sandy Pikes as he wiped away a tear. "In me boyhood days I used to be a steeplechase rider, and often made de water jump." "And now, my poor man?" "Why, de water makes me jump. Tnanks for de pie, mum."

CRITICISM OF DEW Detective Methods Followed by Him Were Anything But Up-to-date M.A.P., T. P. O'Connor's paper in London, deals In an open manner with Inspector Dew. The paper says: "With Inspector Dew, in his private capacity, the public is not concerned. The information recently given to the world that he Is domesticated and musical leaves the world still breathing. But Inspector Dew stands for the criminal Investigation department. New Scotland Yard, and their methods, and as such he is an absorbing picture, the more so that he has cost the country almost the price of an old master. "Very briefly, to recapitulate the facts of the case, Mrs. Crippen disappeared on or about January 31st, 1910. To her friends, her husband told an unconvincing story of her death In America. "On June 28th these friends communicated their suspicions to Scotland Yard. Scotland Yard apparently were not much impressed. Anyway, the actual conduct of the case was handed over to Inspector Dew, an officer of good record, but of no particular distinction. Dazzling Rapidity "Acting with almost dazzling rapidity, Inspector Dew calls on Crippen on July 8th—ten days later. "To an ordinary man the advantage to be gained by putting Crippen on his guard is not quite plain. A sense of fair play is all very well, but to indicate to a man that he is suspected of murder is perhaps carrying our Idea of giving a man a chance too far. "Crippen has a pleasant chat with Dew, tells him another and a more plausible tale to account for Belle Elmore's disappearance, shows him over the house, and even takes him down to ths fatal cellar, where the eagle eyes of the sleuth hound of the law—do sleuth hounds have eagle eyes?—detect nothing suspicious. "Crippen promises not to run away, but, in a very caddish manner, WANTED—Good sales girl; easy work; short hours. Apply Simon's Fair, Third avenue. LADYSMITH COAL H. B. ROCHESTER, - Centre Street breaks his word and bolts next day, accompanied hy Miss Le Neve, "Crippen bolted on July 9; it was not until July 11 that Inspector Dew, by a brilliant piece of detective work, discovered that the bird had flown. Week's Weary Wait "Apparently the police had a touching faith in Crippen, and expected him to return. "Then, nearly a week after Crippen had disappeared, the hue and cry was raised. "Meanwhile, Dew, the Indefatlga ble, was here, there, and everywheri that the wanted couple were not. "It does not seem to have occurred to the authorities that Brussels, during exhibition time, would be a likely hiding place for a fugitive. "It 1b an axiom in criminology that a hunted man usually makes for the scenes of his childhood. "Crippen played the game. He did everything that untrained Intelligence might expect him to do. He went to Brussels. "Crippen followed the rule, and tried to return to his native America by way of Canada, and he very nearly succeeded. "Dew on Duty?" "True, he came on board at Antwerp; but a mere layman may be pardoned for thinking that within two days Scotland Yard might have had every port by which Crippej could join a boat bound for North or South America effectively watched. Then the captain of the Montrose sent a message to the effect that Crippen was on board his ship. "At last Inspector Dew got going. "Apparently acting under instructions, he hurled himself into a train and caught the Laurentic. "Hundreds of business men do this sort of thing every week; but Scotland Yard detectives are not business men. "Dew's dash for Liverpool stirred the country. "The public felt tlnu they were getting their money's worth out of the OLD. "Crippen had hoodwinked Dew; obviously, therefore, Dew was the man to send after him. "If there be any flaw in this logic, I can't find it—I am not a detective- inspector. "Sherlock Holmes could hardly ha've effected the capture in neater fashion. "The pilot disguise was worthy of the highest moments of Arsene Lupin; but here, again, the credit of It is due, not to Dew, but to Captain Kendall. "Crippen has now been caught (thanks mainly to his own stupidity) after an expenditure of some £5,000 of public money, all of which could have been saved If Inspector Dew had taken the very ordinary precaution of having Crippen shadowed when he was first suspected. "Why such precautions were not taken must be explained, or public faith in the capacity of Scotland Yard will be seriously shaken." o •:..> •:.•:••:..:. •:••:< •:•■:• ***•:•**** •m.****** Don't might also be noted that the score above recorded was made, not by a few brilliant marksmen, but by a uniformly high standard of shooting.

QUESTION OF REFEREES Providing they can get eastern officials for this fall, the Nationals of Montreal, champions of the National Lacrosse club, will come to the coast about the middle of next month and play New Westminster for the Minto cup. As the trustees can hardly insist on New Westminster accepting eastern officials and It Is a foregone conclusion that the world's champions will not accede to the Nationals request, doubt Is expressed on all sides whether the Frenchmen will make the trip. Eddie St. Pere, president of the Nationals, announces that the team will come, but only under the conditions mentioned above. While western enthusiasts would be pleased to have a visit from Newsy Lalonde's team, they do not hesitate to say that the Royals would be foolish to accept eastern officials. That's the situation in a nutshell. Nationals would get dates all right, but that Is about all they can expect. o * MARINE NEWS * (Continued from Page One) Forget We have the stock and when you want to select a Diamond Ring, a Wedding Present, It is no trouble for you to find something that will suit you.

The champion says that in all probability he would head for the Antipodes next summer following his theatrical engagements In Europe. Jack said that he had a number of flattering offers from Hugh Mcintosh, the promoter. Mcintosh is on his way to the British metropolis, where he will unfold his plans for a fight in England or Australia.

Chamberlin, general manager of the Grand Trunk Paci- tic, referring to the chartering of the Rupert City, said in Vancouver that his department of the system felt as if the services of a vessel for the ex elusive purposes of transporting equipment and supplies from Vancouver to Prince Rupert was needed; and as a result, the railroad took the charter of the Rupert City. Mr. Chamberlin stated that the railroad would use the vessel until December 15, when their present charter would end. The Rupert City, he also stated, might be held for another year after that time, if the steamer's services were needed, but as to the report that the company intended purchasing the steamer, he said that matter had not been considered. FELL OVERBOARD assessment of the G. T. P. Land company that was objected to. It was the assessment on the railway company's property that was objected to. He did not believe in getting into a fight with the G.T.P. The officials had come here with the Intention of starting work on the hotel, on the station and other works. They had gone away as a result of no settlement being reached without starting) any of it. There was no getting away from the fact that the labor conditions In British Columbia were very bad. If these conditions continued work would be completed to Aldermere and then the work would be prosecuted from the other end alone. As a property owner he wanted to see a settlement of this matter. He thought a settlement could be reached if they showed a readiness to meet the company half way. Wanted Proposition Aid. Pattullo wished to know If there was any concrete offer to put up to the G.T.P. The company had told the council when they met It that It would submit nothing. Aid. Smith said that he believed any business man would be ready to enter Into negotiations. It was a business proposition. He wished to say that at the meeting held between the council and Mr. Hays the council as then constituted was not representative of the views of all the council. He did not feel hurt that he was not asked to be present. He wished to suggest, however, that perhaps those members of the council then present were not the most diplomatic. He felt this was something that should be taken up by citizens' as a whole. Mr. Dunn wanted the matter brought to a head. To do so he moved that the mayor get Into negotiations with the heads of the G. T. P. with respect to the assessment on the railway property. Aid. Barrow suggested that they were losing sight of the fact that it was the G. T. P. that was the aggrieved party in this dispute.. He would not stick on technicalities. He suggested, however, that the mayor might write to Mr. Hays and request a proposition. He introduced a motion to that effect. It was then suggested that In that connection Mr. Hays might be requested to send some one with power to negotiate In the matter. Mr. Stephens rather favored calling a public meeting. The gathering Aftr passing Seymour Narrows on the way north, the G. T P. steamer Prince George had the unpleasant experience of having to turn and pick up a third class passenger who had fallen overboard.

The Prince George at once slowed down and the work of recovering him commenced. The British Columbia was in the vicinity at the time and was whistled to.| That vessel also joined in the rescue work. The man proved a strong swimmer and after about twenty minutes in the water was taken on board again. PACIFIC TRADE The Danish East Asiatic Company is projecting a steamship line between British Columbia and Soutii America, carrying British Columbia timber, returning Quelquebrache and Quelquebraye railway ties. ANOTHER SERVICE GOOD MARKSMEN Britisli Columbia marksmen have always made a good showing with tiie rifle in competition with the rest of Canada, and they may be confident that the next generation will worthily uphold the honor of the province. The result of the Cadet Rifle matches of last June, In which some twenty cadet corps competed from all over the Dominion, has just been announced, and the premier honors have fallen to the boys of the University school of Victoria. In four matches their aggregate was 2201 points out of a possible 2800, a score not previously equalled In these contests. The prize, a handsome silver shield mounted on ebony, brings all the more credit to the winners, In that they fired with the open service sights, while many other corps used the rear aperture sight, contrary to the regulations then in force. It Shipping Illustrated of New York says: "It is stated in Vancouver that Messrs. Mackenzie and Mann have ■ '."finitely decided to enter the Pacific fade, and that with this end in! view they will put on the route next j year tow new boats, to be named after Dukes, now building in Great Britain. The new vessels will run from Vancouver to Stewart, calling at Victoria, and possibly at Seattle." | Nothing is known on the coast In ■ this regard, although it Is generally considered that the general scheme of developmnt undertaken on this coast by the magnates of the Canadian Northern railroad includes the establishment of a coasting service | on the British Columbia coast and a ! car-ferry service between Victoria I and the mainland. o In the city police court this morn- j ing, L. Astorle was convicted of supplying an Indian woman with intoxi- '■ cants and was fined $200 and costs! or six months imprisonment in de-1 fault. A drunk was lined $10 and j costs. o For Job Printing of all kinds see! the Journal man. there assembled could not properly he held io fully represent the public opinion. The Mayor Explains Mayor Stork, who was presiding, said he wished to put himself right. He recalled the facts of the meeting that had taken place when Mr. Hays was in the city. The secretary to Mr. Hays had informed him (the mayor) only half an hour ahead that he would like to meet him (the mayor). His Worship said that he had asked that he might bring some of the aldermen. It was not an easy matter to get many of the aldermen on such short notice. He had got Aid. Pattullo and Aid. Lynch. He had no ulterior motive in selecting these two. After the matter was discussed with Mr. Hays It was pressed upon the head of the G. T. P. that he make a proposition. Mr. Hays would not do so. He said he had no proposition to offer. The situation was thus forced upon them of leaving the matter as It stood. If the citizens had any suggestion to make they should make It. Citizens Part Mr. Westenhaver agreed that any suggestion the citizens had should be forthcoming. James Douglas wanted a public meeting. Aid. Pattullo did not think that under the circumstances the mayor should be asked to write. It was advised then that Mr. Tate be acquainted with the facts and It be suggested that he might come to Prince Rupert. A'd. Smith suggested that three citizens take this up. Mr. Gibbons said that if the situation were reversed and the company's assessment had been too low negotiations would have been opened. Aid. Lynch said that from the conference with Mr. Hays he got the impression that what the company wanted was an agreement covering ten years. Mr. Hays, he believed, wanted the council to make an agreement and have it ratified at Victoria. In order to bring the matter to a conclusion, Mr. Law moved, seconded by Mr. Arnott, tnat Mr. Dunn get in communication with, the G. T. P. officials for the purpose of seeing if Mr. Tate could not return and some settlement be arrived at. Mr. Dunn said he would soon do it if it were the wish of the meeting that he should. The motion carried, and Mr. Dunn in characteristic style, lost no time In finding Superintendent Mehan and having the communication sent on to the G.T.P. officials. ^MM^\^m^^\M^^^m^^\^^\M^^^^^M^. 0 m 1 1 1 1 1 1 I i i i i i i i © SHERWIN & WILLIAMS -PAINTS- COVER THE EARTH.

FIRST AVENUE OFFICE AND WAREHOUSES i I Ptixr PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Tuesday, September 6, 1910 GAMBLING AT RACES Methodist General Conference Before Concluding Labors Make Strong Recommendations. Various Matters Dealt With by Legislative Body of That Demonination The concluding days of the general conference of the Methodist church which met in Victoria and which is the legislative body for Methodism throughout Canada, meeting every fourth year, saw some Interesting subjects dealt with. A message of loyalty was sent to King George V. The message assures his majesty of the loyal devotion to his person and throne of the million and a quarter Methodists In the Dominion and the earnest and prayerful desire of the conference that be will do all in his power towards building up a righteous and God-fearing nation in the northern half of this continent as an integral part of a great and united British empire. , Race track gambling (a problem which is described as having become more acute in Canada through growing wealth and luxury and through the outlawing of the business of hookmaking in New York and other states of the adjoining republic) was strongly condemned in a report of the temperance, prohibition and moral reform committee. Attention is drawn to the Miller bill and it is greatly regretted that owing to the opposition of the minister of justice the bill failed to secure a majority in the house and as a result a compromise bill was accepted. This bill it is stated, while reducing and restricting the evils of the race track, in various ways, fails to adopt the principle of outlawing race track gambling as a business. The moral reform department of the church has been instructed to maintain the agitation and insist that professional gambling on racetracks be prohibited by act of parliament at tne earliest possible date. Dealing with the traffic in women, Its abominations and menace are described as awakening the consciences of Christian states to the enormity of the curse. It is pointed out that the equally Infamous and diabolical methods employed in its behalf have been brought into the white light of exposure. Against this traffic the conference urges the most solemn warnings, the circulation of literature which exposes its methods and the vigorous enforcement of the law against offenders. In this connection the utter Insufficiency of the penalties provided are quoted and a considerable increase In these are demanded. It is pointed out that the maximum penalty should be not less than ten years with hard labor. The conference expressed its grave disapproval of the practice that is obtaining in several places in the West of employing Indians for the purposes of exhibition in connection with agricultural and other shows as productive of unsettling and demoralizing effects among them, and urges that the department of Indian affairs should be asked to interfere and employ such counsel and other methods that may be deemed needful to repress the practice. Among other recommendations of the temperance committee adopted unanimously by the conference Is a protest against the permissal of the sale of liquor In officers' and sergeants' messes in property under the control of the militia department of Canada. Owing to an explanation made by Chancellor N. S. Burwash, no action bus been taken In the case of Skill & King, the Toronto firm of publishers sentenced for selling obscene literature. Dr. Burwash stated that he had Information that King alone was Implicated In the crime and tbat Skill, the senior partner, knew nothing whatever of it. On the strength of his knowledge, Dr. Burwash stated that he had petitioned the minister of justice for the release of Skill. Any further action of the church in connection with the sale of obscene literature has been left In the bands of the Rev. Dr. Chown, who, until the end of the present year, will act as secretary of the moral reform and temperance committee. o A Scottish lassie, asked by her teacher, "Why did the Israelites make to themselves a golden salf?" replied with the ever-ready and practical reasoning of her country women: "Well, ye ken, marm, they hadna as muckle siller as wad mak' a coo." ICE IN HUDSON BAY Steamer Stanley Returns From Trip to Frozen Waterway. Report Brought is None Too Encouraging For Navigation Prospects The government steamer Stanley has returned to Halifax from Hudson bay. From the reports of the Stanley's officers, It cannot be said that the outlook Is very promising for the proposed ocean route from Nelson river or Port Churchill. The Stanley arrived at Churchill on July 27, and left to return on July 2 9. On the way to Nelson she encountered much ice—miles cf it— good solid ice, and all the time the thermometer was at the freezing point and lower. The survey schooner Chrlssie G. Thomey, which left Halifax some time ahead of the Stanley with Mr. Parizeau, formerly of the hydro- graphic survey staff of the Lillooet on this coast, was picked up inside of Hudson bay and towed to within fif teen miles of Nelson, So heavy was the ice encountered that a 12-inch hawser had to he used, and this snapped once. The Thomey anchored in six fathoms of water, off Nelson river, and distant sixteen miles from the shore. This is the nearest she could get to the laud at that point. A gasoline launch was despatched to take p light craft grounded and had to wait for the tide to effect a landing. The tides here are very much as the Bay of Fundy tides. The Stanley had no difficulty in making Fort Churchill, getting as close as a quarter of a mile from the shore. Captain Myles and his staff were landed there. On the return the Stanley encountered more Ice, much more than on •the journey to Churchill. The Ice extended for miles out into the bay, and at times was sufficient to bring the Stanley to a quick stop. The Stanley is built for ice breaking, and even at that she had quite a task to get through. She suffered no very serious damage, however, though she will likely be obliged to go on the slip later on to have some plates fastened. All this presages a none too pleasant outlook for the Thomey, which has only her sails to rely upon. The Thomey is expected to leave as early as possible, in order to escape Imprisonment in the bay all winter. The Earl Grey la now in Hudson bay, and is to return to Quebec as soon as the governor-general reaches the coast. As she is a powerful Ice breaker, no anxiety is felt on her account. According to the accounts brought by the Stanley, the Hudson bay is a pretty tough proposition as a steamship route. Just one year ago a steamer, so the people at Churchill said, was carried up and down the bay for eighteen days before reaching Churchill. The thermometer got as low as 49 degrees last winter, but the usual marking of the glass is 60 degrees. Last winter was an exceptionally fine and mild one. As there are only sixteen fathoms of water sixteen miles off Nelson that point does not loom up very promising for the terminus of the Hudson Bay railway. Conditions at Churchill are better. The summer in the bay is very short. In fact, there can be said to be very little or no summer at all. The Ice begins to form again next month, and with the ice "left over" the proposition looks rather tough. Mr. Parizeau, the engineer in charge of the Thomey's party, will remain at the bay until the ice is good and hard, and will then travel overland to Winnipeg. On his report will depend the feasibility of Nelson river as a port for ocean-going steamers. This is the first report from the Canadian fleet In Hudson bay, and while it Is not official, it still gives a good idea of what has to be encountered in the task of making that route a highway between Canada and England. . o XO FIGHT IX VANCOUVER NOTICE NOTICE Is hereby given that application will be made to the Legislative Assembly of the Province of British Columbia at its next Session for an Act to incorporate a company with power to construct, equip, maintain and operate a line or lines of railway of standard guage with any kind of motive power for the conveyance of passengers and freight, and with all the powers contained In the "Model Railway Bill": Commencing from a point at or near Port Simpson, or Work Channel, In the Coast District, British Columbia, by the most feasible, desirable and practicable route to a point on the Eastern boundary of the Province of British Columbia, via the South-west side of Work Channel to the Skeena River; thence up the North side of the Skeena River to a point near Hazelton; thence to the junction of the Bulkley River; thence up the right bank of this River eight (8) miles to the Suskewa River; thence up this River by a low divide to the head of Babine Lake; thence to the north end of Stuart Lake; thence north of McLeod Lake to the Mis- nichlnca River; thence up the Mls- nichinca River by Summet Lake to Pine River Pass; thence north-westerly to head of Pine River, and down this River to Moberley Lake; and thence by the Peace River to the Eastern boundary of the said Province of British Columbia; and with power to construct, operate and maintain all necessary bridges, roads, ways and ferries; and to build, acquire, own and maintain wharves and docks in connection therewith; and to build, acquire, own, equip and maintain steam and other vessels and boats, and to operate the same on any navigable waters; and with power to build, equip, operate and maintain telegraph and telephone lines in connection with the said Railway and branches, and to transmit messages for commercial purposes, and to charge tolls therefor; and to generate and to sell electricity for the supply of light, heat and power; and with power to expropriate lands for the purposes of the Company; and to acquire lands, money bonuses, privileges or other aids from any Government, municipal corporation or other persons or bodies; and to levy and collect tolls from all persons using, and on all freight passing over any of such roads, railways, ferries, wharves and vessels built by the Company; and with power to connect with and make traffic or other arrangements with railway, steamboat, or other companies: Dated at Victoria, B.C., this 11th day of August, 1910.
