Large llody of Electors of His Candidature For Major of City At a very enthusiastic gathering of the friends and supporters of William Manson for the office of mayor of the city next year, which was held ln Mclntyre Hall last Tuesday evening, the first work towards organizing the campaign was carried out. M. M. Stephens presided, while O. H. Nelson was elected chairman for the meeting. The hall was filled by supporters. Speeches were delivered by Mr.'Manson and by several others who were called upon by the chairman in an impromptu manner. The speakers included J. D. Scott, Thos. Dunn, Dr. Clayton, Aid. Hilditch, Harry Clarke, P. I, Palmer, S. M. Newton and A. Seguoin. On the conclusion of the speeches the necessary business was transacted looking to tbe organization of . the campaign. Chairmen of the different sub-committees for the various sections were named with M. M. Stephens as permanent chairman. These consisted of A. Seguoin, Thos. Duun, F. Lannie, W. Sibbald, and Thamoa MaiUand. These with others who may be added to the committee . from time to time will constitute the central committee. Mr. Manson in opening ieierred to his platform which he had stood by a few months before. The policy then laid down be believed still would have been the wisest course for the city. In the matter of the taxation of land values the present council had followed the principle he then enunciated. With respect to '.he borrowing of a sufficient sum upon the credit of the whole city to be expended cs deemed wisest in different parts of tiie city, he still believed tbat would have been the proper course. He attacked the system which had been pursued of providing for street work to the amount of about $400,000 for which the credit of the whole city was pledged, without tbe sanction of the electors being obtained. It was not the spirit of the municipal act to do this, he felt. It was stretching tite idea of the local improvement sytem far beyond what had been the intention. The speaker referred at some length to the needs of tiie ctty in the way of water, sewers, etc., which would call for a considerable charge being created upon the credit of the city. The need of a very sound financial policy was necessary if the city was to carry oul all that was required to be done. He favored extending the life of tiie debentures for street grading over a long period rather than twenty years as had been done by the council. The speaker also made clear his position with respect to civic labor. Men who would become residents of Prince Rupert should be given work on the streets, and thus the city would be built up and money circulated among the business men here. Before closing Mr. Manson touched upon the G. T. P. taxation question. He assured the meeting that while It was hoped that this matter would be disposed of before the end of the year, yet he was prepared to deal with it at once if it were not so disposed of. He would approaeli it with an open mind and upon reaching what he felt would be a satisfactory arrangement from the rtandpoint of the city he would submit it to the electorate to be passed upon by them. The electorate would have to spy whether It was agreeable to them. They had It In their own hands to reject or to approve. As to Ihe proposition that the government should pass an order-in-eoiineil disposing of the question, Mr. Manson said this was not to be thought of. The question was one to be disposed of by the people of Prince Rupert. M. M. Stephens, the chairman, in his criticism of the methods adopted by the present council, referred to the fact that they had on Fifth street the example of their tearing up the plank way at one end before It was finished at the other. This was surely a waste of money. Thomas Dunn In vigorous manner criticised the council. He referred to the prophesy Immediately after election that Prince Rupert's first c..ecil would be its best one. He had fondly expected that himself, but he had been disappointed sadly. It would go down as the worse council the city had had. Mr. Dunn gave attention to the excessive cost of civic administration here and then launched into the system pursued in street work. This was heralded as a "white man's country," yet they had conditions quite as bad as if Chinamen or Japs were employed on the streets. He vigorously assailed the system pursued and intimated that it was the duty of the business men to demand a change. Aid. Hildltch gave attention to some of the weak points of the administration when he took issue with tiie council. He also defended the council in some directions. H. H. Clarke, as a business man, felt that they should suport Mr. Man- son this year. S. M. Newton spoke to some length. A Seguoin pledged his support to Mr. Manson, who was a man of his word, and whose experience in public matters made hhn a safe one to put at the head of the city affairs. The meeting closed with cheers for Mr. Manson and tiie singing of God Save the King. 1> •— RETURNS FROM TRIP (■. to. lierr Has Arrived Home From A isit in Itossbuill G. "to, Kerr, of the P. Burns 'Company [if this city, has returned from a trip which took him as tar as Spokane. He spent some time in Rossland and made calls at other interior points. Mt. Kerr had many inquiries about Prince Rupert. He found a aeep interest taken in it, but had to contradict many erroneous ideas concerning Ihe climate. Another point that seemed to be well known was that there was disagreement between the city and the G. T. P. It was no doubt affecting the standing of the city and was a drawback to its pro grass. WINTER ON SKF.ENA River is Freezing Over nnd Snow Has Fallen The winter seems to have set in in earnest up the Skeena River. W. C.C. Mehan, general superintendent, has just returned from a trip taken to tiie end of the rails and reports that the river Is practically frozen across in its upper portions. There is about four or six inches of snow on Ihe ground, and when his train left it was snowing steadily so that the- fall will be quite heavy now, he anticipates. The sitting in of .winter conditions has, he says, interferred witli tiie work of ballasting so that he has little hopes of doing much more along that line before spring. The ordinary work is making very steady progress, he says. o CHINESE LAUNDRIES Action Will be Taken by City Council to Control These The question of Chinese laundries being allowed to locate indiscriminately in various parts of the city came before the council last evening on a report made upon a petition the week before against allowing such a laundry to open near the corner of McBride street and Third avenue. The medical health officer reported that while no nuisance had as yet been created, he could not under the bylaw recommend against It. He put in a report however, on the.same subject In which be recommended that regulations should be enforced by which permits should be obtained by any laundry before it was allowed to open. Aid. Hilditch speaking on tile subject said he had asked that a bylaw be prepared covering the question of these laundries. They should not be located al) over the city. o SERIOIS CONDITION FIX NEW SECTIONS City Council Will Again Call for Tenders for Street Work. Retaining Walla Will be Put in by the Day Labor System This Time New tenders are to be asked for work in section one under the local Improvement plan. This is to overcome the diiffculty met with a short time ago when through a technical question as to the tenders on the retaining walls it was decided not to award the tenders. The engineer has made a new subdivision, making 12 stations which will be tendered upon. The tenders will close December 19. The report 'of the engineer was in favor of keeping the detaining wall separate as recommended by Alii. Smith when the othrr tenders were received and who favored letting the contracts without tite retaining wall part of it. Aid. Lynch favored doing the retaining walls separate. Aid. Hilditch also agreed with this. Aid. Mobley iioved that the retaining walls where found necessary should lie put in by day laber. The .motion carried.

A writer in Tuesday's Journal says it is a "brainstorm" which afflicts those who think business men would be affected adversely by the passing of the "Scott Act"—Although that has been the invariable result elsewhere—a one-sided definition—a begging of the question. A BRAINSTORM is a cervical typhoon, producing depression and Intense vibration. It causes the victim to harbor hallucinations with respect to things in general and the "SCOTT ACT" in particular For instance it leads a man to support a measure which says "YOU SHALL NOT buy a drink in Prince Rupert, but you may—if you have the money—buy a case of whiskey on the outside and bring it in." "YOU SHALL NOT drink in a bar because drink is a curse- but we will help you to convert your home into a saloon." "YOU SHALL NOT drink alcohol because it is poison in spite of the fact that the most eminent British physicians voluntarily signed a manifesto .to the contrary." A BRAINSTORM causes some men to think that all the world is crazy besides themselves, and that the people of Prince Rupert are crazy enough to believe them.

There was a very large attendance at the public meeting held in Mclntyre Hall last evening under the auspices of the Citizens' League. The meeting was addressed by William Blakemore, of Victoria, editor of the Week, who showed a very wide knowledge of his subject, dealing with it from many different standpoints. The meeting was presided over by Thomas Dunn, who in bis opening address expressed his views on the subject. He pointed to the unfairness in connection witli the vote, inasmuch as the lists used would permit probably 300 people to say that the Scott Act should be In force here. Mr. Blakemore dealt with some of the mosl flagant weaknesses of the act, showing it was impossible to effectually enforce it. It was unfair, he pointed out, inasmuch as il reversed the rules of evidence everywhere else in force under the British flag. It made the accused prove his innocence. It also forced a wife to give evidence against her husband. He also argued that it was fraudulent inasmuch as it purported to be a temperance act which would reduce the consumption of liquor and yet the opposite was the effect of it. Referring to Dr. Silencer, Mr. Blakemore said he did not wish to say anything harsh of that gentleman. Dr. Silencer, however, had been- guilty of political dlshoneBty, He did not wisii to be misunderstood in that and lie did not say anything against Dr. Spencer in his private life. What he meant in this respect was that Dr. Spencer had been guilty of what, had it been done in private life, he would have been deemed dishonest. In explanation of this he pointed out that Dr. Spencer during the last election campaign had thanked Premier McBride for fhe courtesy he had shown in allowing a plebiscite to be taken on (lie question of local option. He had also stated that if the vote did not go in favor of local option the temperance people themselves were to blame. Yet Dr. Spencer now complained that they did not get a fair chance. Dr. Siienecr had also complimented the attorney general on the u«w liquor act. In tin's vote, said Mr. Blakemore. there wns more politics on the part, of some than they were willing to admit. lie argued flint they should give the present liquor act a fair chance. They could make their bylaws conform to if, and could reduce the objections to liquor far more effectively than by the Scott Act. Witli Dr. Spencer he lamented that women had no vote on this question. lie believed the women would not lie carried away by such sophistries as some men wen-. The meeting closed with the singing of God Save the King. This evening Mr. Blakemore will address another meeting to be presided over by A. Carss.

No description better fits Hackenschmidt than the statement that he is an enlarged edition of Fred Beell. Where Beell weighs about 168 pounds, the weight of Hackenschmidt is around 228 pounds. Every move the big foreigner makes is a counterpart of that of the little American grappler, whom Hackenschmidt designates as the fastest man in the world. Hack's development Is almost identical with eBell's and there is even a facial resemblance. Not only must these truths impress themselves on the grappling fans of America, but other points of similarity will become known. For example, Hackenschmidt, like Beell, evolves holds. This is always what distinguishes the superior grappler. These locks would, perhaps, be of little value to other men, but they are suited to the build, the development and the manner of thought of those who invemt them. Considering Hack's size, his speed is something to marvel at. He is aggressive and has that same brand of tenacity that made Evan Lewis famous In his day. The long supple muscles of the foreign star, the course of his movements all tell of his wonderfu\ condition. George Hackenschmidt is very modest, and Is not given to boasting of liis many years of splendid mat success. He doesn't attempt V> bedim part of either one to critize the other. There Is no other erason to speculate on the victory of Frank Gotch over him, but he does explain that ln the last two years he has learned much more of America and this country ways. There is a lot in this, considering that a large part of his professional career has been spent ln the music halls of London. He has been dealing with English audiences, and has not been acquained with American manners and American requirements. With the retirement of Frank Gotch, it is difficult to see where an opponent is to be found for Hackenschmidt, who can give him a hard contest. Relative to both Gotch and Hackenschmidt there seems to be no disposition on what the outcome of another match would be. It Is well known that Frank Gotch has wanted to retire for more than two years. Frank has grown weary of the padded circle and he has wisely settled down to enjoy the fruits of his long and wonderfully successful career on the mat. On the other hand, Hackenschmidt is nomadic. He likes the business of appearing In public, and he enjoys travel. There is no question at all that Jack Curley will meet with the largest measure of success as manager of the foreigner, because the fans of the United States will find more enjoyment in seeing Hackenschmidt in exhibition matches than they ordinarily would in watching championship events. After seeing Hack on the mat, one Is almost forced to revert to comparisons and admit that Frank Gotch, George Hackenschmidt and Fred Beell represent the three most interesting types of the development of the wrestler that the world is ever apt to see in a single generation. In each Instance there are solidity, speed, endurance and individuality. Hackenschmidt starts on his tour through the east beginning next week in Buffalo and for nearly five months he will fill engagements throughout the United States. GOLF TOURNAMENT The big winter golf tournament for the Pacific Northwest players will be held on the links at Del Monte, California, commencing on Saturday, February 11, and running through to February 18, inclusive.

EASTERN CHAMPIONS The Varsity rugby team of Toronto trimmed the Hamilton Tigers by the score of 16 points to 7 for the Canadian championship. From the start the wearers of the Royal Purple had it over the Bengals and at half time the score stood 11 to nil in their favor. It was a personal triumph f,or Coach Harry Griffith, who, by the way, Is a Hamilton man. Varsity were at it from the trop of the hat, and as they had done with Ottawa a year ago they put the Tigers over the ropes at ine start. From then to half time they had the best of the play. Just after the opening of the second half the Tigers came again with a rush, and for a time looked dangerous. It lasted through the third quarter, which was more than was expected, but after that till toward the close it was a procession. The vaunted Tigers' line did do things for a time, but Varsity halves were so fast and Foulds so quick In his service, that as a result there was time to spare. Gait, Maynard and Dixon put up a wonderful line of football, and al] the fumbles were behind the Tigers' line. Every man was playing the game for all that was in him. Simpson, for the Tigers, did wonderful service, but fumbled at times, while Moore and Kidsmith were two sure kickers. CHANGES IN NAVY Channel, Home and Atlantic Fleets Nay be Brought Under One Command. The Neptune Will Carry the Flag of New Commander, Sir Francis Bridgeman Important changes in the British navy are under consideration at the admiralty. According to press forecasts, in future there will be only one commander-in-chief for all the naval forces in the English channel, the North sea and the Atlantic; and while officers of junior rank will retain the control of divisions and squadrons, as the case may be, the combined training will be carried out under the orders of the admlral-in- chlef. When tiie present home fleet was in process of formation, embodying an entirely new manning policy, there were three officers in home waters with the rank of commander- in-chief, namely, the senior officers of the Channel, Home and Atlantic fleets. In the spring of last year the Channel fleet ceased to exist, and its ships were passed into the home fleet forming its second division, while the Atlantic fleet retained its former status, with an independent commander-in-chief. Within the next few months these two commander-in-chiefs will relinquish their appointments at the end of the usual term. Vice- Admiral Prince Louis of Battenberg will complete his period with the Atlantic fleet before the end of the year, and Admiral Sir William May, the senior officer of the home fleet, will haul down his flag In the Drendnought In March. The former officer will be succeeded by Rear-Admlral Sir John Jelicoe, the present Third Sea Lord and controlelr of the navy, who, until he gets his step in promotion, will hold substantive rank. He is now tenth on the list of rear-admirals. His title will be "Vice-Admiral commanding the Atlantic fleet," and thus there will be left only one officer in home waters with the title of commander-in-chief. When Sir William May comes ashore, the vacancy will be filled by Sir Francis Bridgeman, who, since March, 1909, has been second sea lord, and prior to that was in command of the home fleet during the early stages of Its development. With the change In the command of the Home and Atlantic fleets, there will consequently be only one commander-in-chief in the British seas. The Atlantic fleet will contlneu, as in the past, to act as a "pivot" force, ready to co-operate, as circumstances dictate, either with the home fleet or the Mediterranean fleet. When Sir Francis Bridgeman succeeds to the supreme control of the whole of the ships of the home fleet, now numbering nearly 400 pennants, he will hoist his flag on the new Dreadnought battleship Neptune. This will be the first vessel to join the active fleet with the new Simpson armor, possessing much greater resisting power than the familiar Krupp type, and with 21-inch torpedo, which is displacing the 18-inch torpedo, and is a very great advance in range, accuracy and destructive effect. o FEDERAL POWERS Australian Statesman Expresses tlta X lews Speaking at a banquet at Sydney, N.S.W., the Hon. A. Fisher described liis idea of the position the federal parliament should occupy in the governance of Australia and the idea ernanve of Australia and the ideal relations which should exist between it and the state legislatures. He was of opinion, he said, and he spoke also for his party, that until the national parliament had power to protect every worker, man and woman, either as regards the eight, hour principle or any other matter, the Australian nation would not rise to that height to which it ought to attain. He did not desire in any way to belittle the state legislatures. He had no other aim and object than this: To see vested ln the national parliament powers equal to those possessed by the state legislatures, bo that the central parliament might, if it deemed fit, pass such legislation as would secure something like uniformity of operation of laws, which would enable the worker to gain the same privilege of appealing to the highest tribunal in the land as that man who was aggrieved In his monetary affairs had. That was a fair thing. The government was not only In earnest in the matter of the federal capital, but had given evidence of their earnestness and determination. There would be no unnecessary delay. There had been no delay other than was necessary for the bst interests of the people. Her In Australia the powers of the people were being extended, and surely they could look forward to the time when the whole people speaking the English language would be bound together with one common object, and that the peace of the world and protection and promotion of everything that helped forward tne cause of progress and of humanity generally. CANADA'S FUTURE Supplies for the U.S. Must Soon bo Supplemented From This Country The November Issue of the Census and Statistics Monthly, which deals principally with agricultural conditions in Canada, contains the following official statement: A correspondent of the London Economist at Winnipeg expresse the opinion that the United States, with a product of 600,000,000 bushels of wheat this year, comes near the limit of domestic consumption for that country, and that within tbe next fifteen years at the outside the United States will have become dependent upon Canada for supplies of beef and bread. In the presence of this situation the writer has the comforting assurance that in the Canadian west about 200,- 000,000 acres of wheat land, with a capacity of 3,000,000,000 bushels, shill await the plough, and that 250,- 000,000 acres more are suitable for cattle raising, besides a vast acreage classed as of doubtful value or as belonging to the subarctic areas. Little wonder, then, that ln his pudg- ment the rush of settlers into Canada will soon surpass all records. But the correspondents of newspapers three thousand miles away ought to be sober men Wheat will be grown in the United States far beyond the limit of 600,000,000 bushels if there is call for It; 3,000,000,000 bushels is not a riotous estimate for that country If the world wants so much and offers a paying price for it, and the present supply of beef may also be readily Increased within four or five years. There is, however, no doubt that Canada will excel in wheat-growing in quality and product, and that for years to come she will occupy the first position, al- thought not so prominently as to be without a rival. We are not distressed by the old bogey of a desert region north of the great lakes, separating the east from the west. The 20,000,000 acres of Ontario traversed by the Grand Trunk Pacific, with its rich land and forest minerals, will easily sustain a poulatlon of four or five millions, and all the way across the continent from British Columbia to Nova Scotia there are the elements for an abiding industry. Of the three transcontinental railways now completed or approaching completion from sea to sea the Canadian Pacific Is the one with the least non-productive areas to draw upon for business traffic, yet there is no other long stretch of railway line in America with greater proportional earning power or with a more hopeful outlook for the employment of capital. o Job Printing of all kinds neatly executed at the Journal Office.

TAXATION A few days ago The .Journal took occasion to announce that in the coming municipal campaign a certain element in the city would do all in its power to make the G.'I'.P. taxation question the paramount one. As time goes on it is made more clearly evident that heroic methods are to be employed by that element to divert attention from all other issues in un effort to play the part of the determined opponents of everything that looks like the G.T.P. The Optimist, which in spite or Its denials that it represents the views of any element in the city council, but which is nevertheless by a strange co-incidence, never far In the expression of views from those held by the coterie of the council which holds something less than a quarter of the stock in the paper, has now in desperation charged a diabolical plot hatched up in which Premier McBride and Mr. Manson are concerned, to effect a settlement. We know nothing of such a plot, and we do not believe there is any truth in it. Premier McBride during his visit here intimated that he would not interfere with the matter. He offered advice to the council, but only as advice. William Manson, speaking at the smoker given the other evening made a declaration on the subject which does not indicate that he has any preconcerned plan of settlement which he is going to try to carry through over the heads of the people. He has pledged himself to refer any settlement he may reach to the electors to be passed upon, which is certainly a safe proposition for the citizens. They have the deciding. The words of Mr. Manson at that smoker explain his position very clearly. They were:— "The question of the dispute between the G.T.P. and the city is one on which, perhaps, you will expect me as a candidate for mayor to have something to say. The question at the present time is the subject of negotiations between the city and the company and it is to be hoped it will be settled before the end of the present year. "If, however, it should remain unsettled, and I should be elected to the office of mayor and have to take part in dealing with this question, 1 am prepared to negotiate with tha company and endeavor to arrive at a satisfactory settlement and when an agreement has been reached that 1 consider a proper one from the standpoint of the city, I will submit the matter for the approval of the electors before any settlement is formally agreed upon. This is the only course that could be pursued. I desire to approach the whole subject with an open mind. The ap* proval of the people is necessary before anything will be binding upon the city. "It had been suggested that an order-in-council might be secured from the Government. The Government has nothing more to do with this than any one of you individual- ly." • | Now dealing with the inflamatory language of the Optimist. It is only a few days ago since it upbraided the Journal for not throwing Itself heartily into the evolving of a scheme of settlement between the city and the G.T.P. Now how is it assisting a settlement? The solicitor of the G.T.I'., D'Arcy Tate, is on his way to Prince Rupert on the invitation of the city council in effeel a settlement. Surely under such circumstances it could be expected that all parties to the negotiations to be conducted would refrain from any attempl to inflame public opinion, it would have been expected that that quarter interest in ihe Optimist thai is charged with tiie administration of city affairs would have used its best efforts to have dissuaded such an outburst at this particular lime. That Ihe turn should be taken that has been followed fores one to the belief that while Mr Tite may have been invited here on the pretence of affecting a s it lenient, there is to be no sueli chance taken as that a settlement snail be effected. That would inn suit ;lie purposes of the municipal campaign, Fresh fuel is needed to instil ill will to Hie G.T.I', and on Ihe strength nf a false prejudice men are to be elected who would otherwise be left at home. It looks as though farce negotiations for campaign purposes have been arranged. The citizens of Prince Rupert are not going to be hoodwinked by any such clap-trap as is being attempted. Tbe Optimist says that It is because Mr. Manson will take the first opportunity to effect a settlement of 'be G.T.P. matter that he is running. We must agree that there is a good deal of truth in that. Mr. Man- son is running because citizens of Prince Rupert representing every sliade of politics and every walk of life, practically insisted that he should run. Among those who thus forced him out were many men with interests here who demand that some one shall take hold of that G.T.P. taxation question in a business-like way and give them, tiie citizens of Prince Rupert, a chance to say what they will do. They have confidence enough in the integrity of Mr. Manson to know that he will negotiate along sane lines. They have confidence enough in him to know that he will not make inflamatory speeches or endorse inflamatory language used against the G.T.P., and then take early opportunity to establish a reputation for friendliness to the G.T.P. o A PROTECTED PORT The words of Sir Wilfrid Laurier day when defending his naval policy in the House of Commons the other against the Nationalist wing in Quebec seems to indicate that he has in view the making of this port as strong in point of defensive equipment as is Esquimalt. in the south. It Is difficult to understand how any other policy could be expected from any Canadian government. Prince Rupert must have an ample dry dock or floating.dock capable of han'dling large battleships. It must have the land fortifications to insure the protection of these repair works in time of need. On the line of the shortest All- Red route, this port must occupy a strategic position among the British outposts and will have an Imperial importance all its own. Speaking in the House a few days ago, Sir Wilfrid clearly evidenced that this was his conception of affairs when he said: "We are building a railway across the continent to the northern waters of the Pacific at Prince Rupert, 600 miles at least from the fortifications at Esquimalt. "Will anyone say that we are to leave these distant portions of our country absolutely unprotected? No, the common sense of the people will come to the conclusion that these distant parts of our country where so much wealth is being developed must be protected either by fortifications or ships." Again in a letter to La Presse, the Premier says: — "In 1852 Canada had only the Gulf to defend; today we have all the .Maritime Provinces, Halifax, St. John, Cape Breton, Prince Edward Island and all the Pacific coast, the Straits of San Juan, Vancouver, Victoria, Esquimalt, Prince Rupert, the coasts of the Yukon, etc. "Let us not forget that there are constant dangers on the Pacific Coast where the fisheries, the forests and the mines represent billions, which require defence. It is not when a catastrophe has happened that you should be prepared to remedy it. The duty of statesmen is to be able to see how to make catastrophes impossible. What would become of our commence at the moment when Canada is preparing to offer the shortest route between Europe and Asia by which precious merchandise can be exchanged between the two continents by land and sea, if by a false economy we should lose hundreds of millions of business?" The supporters of the Soott Act have opened permanent headquarters on Third avenue between Fiftli street and Fulton street. J. Chalmers; formerly of the Toronto Globe staff, and more recently ol' tiie Vancouver World, has arrived in the city. He has taken a position mi the reportorial staff of tiie Optimist. H. F. McRae has slarted building operations on what will be occupied by him as an office and which will have rooms to rent above it. The building is to be located on Second avenue, next door to the Rand block.

Lessons From Other Lands Anything appearing in this column under the above head is published by the Press Committee of the opponents of the Scott Act and is not intended as representing the views of this paper. In Mississippi Some two years ago the legislature of Mississippi passed prohibition laws There was at the time evidence that the people of the South and of some sections of the West had come to the conclusion that all that was necessary to curtail or destroy the liquor traffic was to pass laws making the sale of Intoxicants punishable by law. True, man ythousands of people ln both the Southern and Northern sections refused to be misled by such folly and voted against legislators who were committed to drastic legislation on the liquor question. Many of these opponents of prohibition were themselves total abstainers, but in Mississippi all classes were willing to give the new law a fair chance. As the months went by, the sentiment concerning prohibition changed in many Southern and Western communities, but the light for prohibition does not seme to have been relaxed and Missouri Is to vote on the question of prohibiting the sale of liquors on Tuesday next. Prohibition in Mississippi has not been a success and It is estimated htat the loss to the state, municipalities, towns and countries is about ?5,000,000 a year, and the commerce and trade of the state has shrunken about $f!0,- 000,000. Large quantities of intoxicants are shipped into the strte from Cincinnati, Chicago, Louisville, New Orleans and other places. Besides this in most places in the state liquors can be procured without difficulty. In some places though such as VIcksburg, the defiance of the law is more open than ln other places. Cities and towns in which liquor can be more readily obtained seem to be doing a greater general business than their neighbors. This may not be very pleasant to the prohibitionists, but there semes to be no way \c dispute the facts. How long the people of Mississippi will be satisfied tu have this farce continue it is difficult to say, but that eventually they will change from a prohibition stand to one dealing with the liquor question In a wiser manner there can be little doubt. Experience of States Twenty-one Stales of the American Union have at various times adopted prohibition. Thirteen have found it so unsatisfactory that they have repealed the law and gone back to other remedies. This leaves prohibition now in force in eight States. Maine which has had it for "ill years, is using the Initiative to gel rid of it. In Oklahoma and Tennessee there is a strong agitation to resubmit the question. This leaves only two States, Kansas and low... in which the measure has been enforced to any considerable extent. The reason is that they are agricultural States with very few large cities and they approximate the condition of rural communities under local option. Even in Kansas there has been great complaint about the methods of enforcing the law and the enormous expense It enta'ls nuca the counties. And now Kansas has voted for resubmission <n order t > reject the prohibition law. The records of the United States internal revenues are absolutely reliable, and they show that the licenses issued by the Federal .government have Increased in the States that have adopted prohibition. They increased 1364 in Georgia the first year nnd from 763 to 072 in Memphis Ihe first two years after prohibition was adopted. How it Winks in Kansas Although Kansas is a prohibition | state, in most localities there it is the simplest of matters to Becure what passes for liquor, and 796 of the 852 prisoners received at the slate penitentiary during the last two (prohibition) years are there partially because of the use of liquor This is shown by the biennial report of the directors and warden of Ihe state penitentiary filed with Governor Stubbs. Only S21 of the convicts received in the last two years would make any report on the use of liquor; of this number 509 stated that liquor had contributed to their downfall, and 277 stated that, their downfall could lie traced directly io liquor. Women, liquor and (rambling were listed more frequeni than anything else. Both liquor and gambling are now under law, but as yet no one of the'reformers has proposed the pro hibition of women'. Alcoholic Statistics The general superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League (the chief prohibition organiaztion of the United States, asserts in his recent annual report that 41,000,000 of the people in the United States are now living in prohibition territory. With the exception of Maine and Kansas, which have a population of less than two and a half millions, practically all alleged "prohibition territory" has been gained during the past ten years. In this period the consumption of alcholic beverages has increased about twenty-five per cent faster than the total poulation! In the light of these facts, it is pertinent to ask, who, what and where does prohibition prohibit, and by what practical results can prohibition be justified? It is significant to note that in 1900 there were 189,089 "retail liquor dealers" who paid the special tax of $25 to the federal government. In 1910 their number was 202,687, an increase of 13,598, or 7.2 per cent. Is this ln spite or because of "prohibition"? —o GOTCH'S RETURN Frank Gotch Ib to re-enter the wrestling arena. The champion Iowan in a short interview admitted that he would undoubtedly get into the game again as Boon as the foreign wrestlers had shown themselves dangerous competitors for the title which lie now holds. Gotch had hoped that some American wrestler would develop, who would be capable of defending the title successfully against Hackenschmidt, Zybysko, Mahmout and the remainder of the! nvaders, but up to this time no American has shown sufficient form to be considered in a c'ass with these powerful foreigners. The Russian Lion, apaprently better than ever, is tramping up and down the country and it seems certain at this time, that it is up to Gotch to beat him, if the Lion is to be denied the world's title. The Iowan is not anxious to wrestle again, in fact, would prefer to stay out of the ring, but he will not pass up a match with the Lion If it comes to a showdown. He has passed the summer on his farm and has worked hard, for apparently he is In very good condition at the present time. He doesn't look as if he had gone back a bit and will enter the ring in the spring just as good as he ever was in his life. Frank Gotch has just passed his 23rd birthday and probably weighs 212 pounds with his clother on. He is big and strong, but not fat and looks as good as he ever did in his life. He has lived a moderate life, has always kept himself in fair condition, and is ready at any time to give the best that Is in him. It is certain that unless Yussif Mahmout, the Turk, stops Hackenschmidt, Frank Gotch, will take a try at him and that the match will be wrestled In Chicago some time next spring. Gotch wil; have a few preliminary matches and will not overlook any of the necessary training work. o QUARANTINE TENDER Evelyn Now Here is a Model Little Craft For Pur- The New Launch Made Trip From Victoria to This Port Under Her Own Power The new launch built in Victoria for tbe use of Dr. Tremayh'e at this port as a quarantine tender, has reached port after making the trip under Its own power.

In the pilot house the windows are of plate glass, and in the aft cabin 12-lnch brass polished ports have been placed thus furnishing an abundance of light. All the compartments of the vessel have been remarkably well laid out, sufficient room being provided for each apartment. The cruiser Is divided as follows; Forward Is the pilot house and engine room, electric generator, switchboard and storage batteries; amidships Is the doctor's cabin which is furnished with desk, plush cushions, table and electric lights; aft of this cabin is the toilet and galley, and right aft is the suspects cabin, which is entirely separate from the others. Fifty feet in length and with a beam of eleven feet, the vessel k well able to stand a heavy sea. A 25-horse power, four-cylinder Eastern Standard engine has been installed in her, which Is guaranteed to propel her at a little over eight knots. The cruiser has been so arranged that her engine can be controlled from the pilot house or from the bridge deck. She carries 500 ttnllons of gasoline, which will drive the launch at regular speed for 1,000 miles. The trial trip of the Evelyn Was held laid Saturday week. The Innnch covered Hie distanee between William Mead and the outer dock, which is approximately R knots, In 55 minutes which demonstrated that the vessel has fulfilled the requirements of the specifications.

He Warns the Old Land With Respect to the Attitude Towards the New World The following remarks concerning Canada were made by Mr. J. Norton Griffiths, M.P., in a speech at Wednesbury, England, last month. Mr. Norton Griffiths is head of the Norton Griffiths & Company, Ltd., of Canada, who are opening offices in Vancouver as engineers and public works contractors, and has acquired lands in northern British Columbia. "You will find in Canada that every man who is willing to work will get work, and get wages which enable him to live up to a higher standard of comfort than is the case with the workers at home. One of the main reasons for this is that the government protect their labor by protecting their industries. Their principle is anadians first, the mother country next, and then the others whihc we have to deal with with advantage to ourselves. If we as a people allow things to drift, as they have been drifting—if we allow the government to continue with a policy which is ruinous to imperial sentiment and unity, we shall be left the sentiment only and without any 01 the advantages which by right should accrue to us. We have but a short time to make up our minds. Canada is getting tired of waiting, and waiting in vain, and she cannot be expected to throttle her progress any longer. During tills month fresh negotiations will be afoot between the U.S.A. and Canada, while in tho near future the same step is contemplated with Germany and Belgum. At present Canada has a population of seven millions. It is estimated that in twenty years it will have twenty millions—now where are they coming from? If the maority come from foreign countries and America, how can we expect such an influx of alien blood to carry a sentiment for the British flag unless there is some good practical reason for that sentiment. Where is the natural place for the emigrat to come in from? The seriousness, also, of the position to us la that each new bargain which Canada makes with other countries must be to our detriment, must cut Into us, and must minimise our chances of obtaining work in this country for goods which we want to make and export to Canada. And who is forcing Canada to do this? Why, the people in this country who allow a government to remain In power who are wrecking the very future of our empire and our imperial interests." During his trip to Canada Mr. Norton Griffiths said he had the pleasure of conferring with many of the leading men of Canada. He had travelled with Hie Hon. Premier Richard McBride, as liis guest, and had attended political meetings and spoken at them, and the great satisfaction to him was the fact that both sides of politics In that country had but one aim—and that was the consolidation of the empire, development of trade with the empire, and a preferential right to those residing within the empire for the varrying on of that trade. All were imperialists, all desired imperial unity, and all those he met had expressed their deep concern that the people of England were taking such a long time in realizing their position. o CRIPPEN'S CAPTOR of several clover captures which he had made. It was in connection with the series of "Jack the Ripper" murders that Mr. Dew first gained important promotion. The intricate investigations connected with the Druce case two or three years ago wore also largely carried out by the inspector, who was responsible for the arrest for perjury of Miss kobinson after that ingenious lady had offered $500 reward for a diary which she said had been stolen, and which was supposed to be of great value in establishing the claimant's case The woman subsequently was convicted. To execute his difficult task Mr. Dew had adopted many disguises including those of a butcher, a matchseller, a pedlar and a pilot—the uniform of which he wore when he went on board the Montrose in the St. Lawrence to arrest Crippen. The awkward corners in which he has found himself have been many. Although Mr. Dew will be entitled to a handsome pension, he states that he will act as a private detective, as he considers himself much too young to cease active work. There are indications that his name will be much mentioned when parliament meets, as several M.P.'s intend to ask questions regarding the escape of Crippen to Canada. o— BUFFALO HUNT STOPPED First Reports Relative io Shooting Pablo's Herd Exaggerated FOR ARBITRATION R.L. Borden's Stand on British Columbia's Better Terms Demands. He is Agreeable to a Course in Line With Premier McBride's Request Very early ln the proceedings at Ottawa this session the question of "Better Terms" for British Columbia has come up. R. L. Borden In his earliest speech in the House of Commons declared with emphasis that he stood by his declaration to the people of British Columbia that their claim for better terms should be passed upon by a board of arbitration. Sir Wilfrid from start to finish of his'Western tour had made lavish promises of public works, all to Influence the electors. The minister ot railways had promised a transcontinental canal to control freight rates on tbe national transcontinental railway. Probably his next bid would be an airship line to control rates on the canal, but If it was bribery to tell the people of British Columbia that they should have thir claims referred to arbitration, what was it to promise public works wholesale to influence the whole province? smAS» vumwau nancx Coaat Land District—District of Skeeaa.

CHARLES RUBIDGE DUNSFORD. Arthur Robertson, Agent. Dated August 20th, 1910. S30 While it is admitted at Ottawa that a Canadian expedition to shoot the remainder of a herd of buffalo in Montana has been planned, the official version of the story differs from what was sent out from United States sources. It had been stated that the attorney-general of Montana had stepped in, aud that trouble would be en- countered if any shooting were attempted. There won't be any shooting, at least, not by an organized party. The facts, as stated by the officers of the interior department, are that the herd of buffalo were purchased by the Canadian government from a Mexican named Pablo, in Montana. A total of 636 of them have been sent over to Buffalo Park—in Canada. About seventy remain and a good deal of difficulty has been encountered in corralling them. Pablo, it is said, represented to the department that the trouble was due to about a dozen old bulls in the herd, which have a decided aversion to crossing the border, and are the leaders in the breakaway that attends any effort to get them moved to a point of shipment. He suggested that these be shot and the Idea appealed to the officials. Some old-time buffalo hunters in the West conceived the idea that it would be excellent sport for them to undertake to despatch the recalcitrant element in the herd, and they made preparations to go on the hunt. The idea, however, did not appeal to Montana people, who thought the whole herd, or what remains of it, was to be wiped out. The attorney-general gave an opin. ion that the wild buffalo are subject to the protection of the state, and the idea of shooting any of them by an organized expedition was abandoned. Pablo, the erstwhile owner, will probably himself dispatch the ringleaders causing the difficulty, so that the others can be got together and shipped to join the rest of the herd in Buffalo Park. o ELECTION TALK Rumor That There Will be an Appeal to Country Next Fall Inspector Dew Has Resigned His Position Chief Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard, the detective whose name is well known in Canada through his connection with Ihe celebrated Crippen case, lias tendered his resignation to the Chief Commission of Police in London. He will, therefore, sever liis lung connection with Scotland Yard on December 4. His resignation has not come as a surprise to the deparlment, as it. was known before he took up the Crippen case thai lie intended shortly to resign, having completed his 29 years service. When only 19 years old, Mr. Dew came up to London from the Midlands to become a constable, and wns enrolled in the Metropolitan Police force. Though now he is only 47 years of age, he has seen practically more service than any other mem-j ber of the force. A very short time j elapsed after he entered the force j when ue was entrusted with plain chillies duty, and within four years lie had become a detective, his superiors having considered him a very promising Investigator as the result The Montreal Gazette publishes the following from its Ottawa correspondent:— "There is a persistent report current that the government has determined to appeal to the country next autumn, and that with this in view Sir Wilfrid Laurier has abandoned his proposed visit to London for the coronal ion. As soon as parliament rises next May, it is said, he will devote himself to a tour of Quebec, the maritime provinces and western Ontario, where he will seek to educate the people on the naval question. "The reason given for this choice of front is said to be the demand of the Ontario Liberals to seek the en- dorsation of Hie government's naval policy at the hands of the electorate, as although they intended to vote against Mr. Borden's amendment for an immediate general election to test public opinion on the naval proposals they feel that an election next autumn will be possible." o "Are you really taking lessons In fencing?" "Yes, I am making seme faint endeavors." BUYING STEAMER The Grand Trunk Pacific company is arranging for the purchase of a steamer in Great Britain for use between Prince Rupert and Queen Charlotte Islands. Capt. C. H. Nichol- I have in view it will be just the one for the trade. She is a passenger and son, superintendent of the G. T. P. steamship service, said recently In the south:— "I have a man in the old country looking for a boat for the Queen Charlotte run, and if he gets the boat freight boat and said to be highly finished in every department. She is smaller than the Bruno, but will be able to make the trip In all weather. Also she will have first class passenger accommodations which the Bruno has not, and will be a cheaper boat to operate for the reason that she will not burn so much coal." Mother—The report you have brought me from Sunday school displeases me very much." Harry—Yes, mother, I told the teacher it would, but she's so obstinate, she wouldn't change it." o First Rival—I wonder, dear, if I shall lose my locks at you have done when I get your age?

The officers of these units have been for some time pressing upon headquarters the necessity for a general camp In order to give an opportunity for the handling of men in large numbers and the advantage to the men which wil accrue for the earne reason. The site of the camp has not been decided upon. Major Harper Is to be congratulated on the success of his efforts In this direction, as we understand It is largely due to him that the success Is due. CUANBROOK'S CITY HALL Cranbrook.—The voting on the bylaw to raise $15,000 for the erection of a brick city hall resulted in a verdict In favor of the bylaw, although the total vote polled was disappointingly small. The result being 49 for, and 23 against. At a special meeting of the city council the city hall bylaw was finally passed and adopted. The tenders for the new building, two in number, were opened and by unanimous vote of the council the contract was awarded to Geo. Leask & Co., whose tender was somewhat higher than that of to. R. Beattie, the only other tenderer. George Leask's figures were $15,320, and W. R. Beatty's $14,000. Consideration was shows the Leask tender in view of the original contract awarded him, which was canceled whea the board of trade requested that the new city hall he built of briek.

UNSANITARY BAKERIES Vancouver. — Allegations of a startling character were made at a meeting of the Trades and Labor council in this city, whea It was stated that the conditions prevailing in some of the bakers' premises ln the city were a disgrace to aay community. Several charges were preferred, the information being disclosed by delegates, who, la attempting to get members for the Bakers' union, got In touch with some of what they called "the filthy dens." It was declared that ln the trip of inspection men of many nationalities, speaking different tongues, had been encountered and It was further reported that some of them were working all hours and making a bed on top of the troughs beneath which dough was kneaded. One delegate astounded the assembly by remark Ing that he had known of a man handling bread who was suffering from eczema on one of his arms. Another referred to general Insanitary conditions in evidence, and It was resolved that the city authorities and police be approached with a view to seeing that the shops' regulation act was enforced. IMMENSE ESTATES Money That Awaits Claimants in the Exchequer Courts Two mammoth estates have been re-sworn for probate, with the result that the exchequer has made a tremendous haul, £3,050,000 being payable in succession and other duties. The late Mr. Charles Morrison died ln May, 1909, and a month later the value of his estate was returned at the record figure of £6,660,666, "as far as at present can be ascertained." Yesterday, however, it was resworn at £10,936,666, an increase of £10,936,666, an increase of £4,270,- 000, and possibly the full extent of the fortune is not definitely ascertained even yet. On the figures of the re-sworn valuation, the estate duty alone amounts to £1,040,500, and the total levy of the exchequer In the form of estate duty, legacy duty, succession duty and settlement estate duty will probably amount to two millon pounds. It is probably the largest estate in this country of which anyone haB had absolute disposal. The late Mr. Chas. Morrison Inherited from his father In 1857, £1,000,000, and the £11, 000,000 which he left represents a little lees than the sum to which his original inheritance would have accumulated with sompound Interest at five per eeat. Mr. Morrison, who died la May, 1909, in his 98nd year, was the son of a pooi Hampshire mas, who n»ae to London and ssade a fertuae as a draper. He believed in "sssall profits and quick returns." Inheriting- a large sum of money, the late Mr Morrison engaged as a city financier, promoting all kinds of enterprises, and ready to buy anything or Bell anything. Dressing shabily, he often lunched on an apple or bun eaten as he walked along the street. At the age of 85 he published a book entitled "Doubts About Darwinism, by a Semi-Darwinian." Although one of the wealthiest men in a wealthy city, he was unknown except to a few friends and the extent of his vast fortune was never realized. The second estate re-sworn was tbat of the late Alfred Beit, who died in 1906, leaving about £2,000,000 for public uses, of which £1,200,000 was left to trustees for the development of communication ln Africa—Including the Cape to Cairo railway, and the Cape to Cairo telegraph system. His estate was sworn not long ago after his death, at £3,000,000, "as far as at present can be ascertained" but it has been re-sworn at £8,049,- 616 0s 5d. The death duties payable out of Mr. Beit's estate were those fixed by Sir William Harcourt's act of 1894. The estate duty amounts to £643,- 909; on about £2,500,000 legacy duty of ten per cent is chargeable, and on the balance three per cent would be payable, making the total exchequer levy on the property about £1,050,000. Had Mr. Belt died subsequent to April, 1909, his estate would have had to pay about £1,208,000 estate duty, and the total duties would have amounted to about £1,800,000, or an increase under Mr. Lloyd-George's scheme of nearly three-qnartere ef a million, as compared with the Sir William Bareonrt rate. o — We reoelve eubscrlptloae for aad supply amy newspaper, magaxise, periodical or beok published la any country or ln any language.

TO HOLD LUMBBS Cranbrook District Lnmbsiacsa TO Hot fott A well attended meetiag of the Cranbrook district lumbermen was held recently at the Hotel Cranbrook committee rooms on the call ef W. A. Anstle, secretary of the Mountain Lumbermen's association. Various matters of special Import to tha district lumbermen were discussed. One matter of great importance was the question of present selling priees. After lengthy discussion It was the unanimous expression of opinion that mill men should hold their present stocks for the next six months and not attempt to force sales at present, as the prices obtainable ln view of Increased cost of production, were quite unprofitable. The part year ku mm ene ef th* heaviest ea record in the matter of sales, but at the present moment the millmea have about as heavy stocks ea haad as they bad at this time lea* yaer. The season was, generally sneaking, a very satisfactory one, and whilst baring is light now there Is eremr pre*-, pect of a strong demand tn 1911. Prairie retailers stocks are new below normal and manufacturers have every reason to anticipate aa excellent trade next year. An j ther matter up for discussion wai the enforcement of the B. C. lousing scale in the interior. Up to the present the Doyle scale has been In force and It is noted locally that If Ihe B. C. seal* be enforced it will mean a grave Injustice to interior mill men, who handle tar ibi'.t Inge thsn their coast compeUtirs. It wsnlil.

Easily Explained A writer in the Optimist asks why the "blind piggers" are coming back to the town six months too soon. This is easy to answer. Dr, Spencer is the man to blame for it. lie has been telling the people in Vancouver that alter (lie iltli Prince Ruperl will be a dry town. These people have be- lleved him and wish to get in on tiie ground floor. To quote from a book once well known to some of the Scoti Act champions: "Wheresoever tiie carcass is there will the eagles ! be gathered together." The Deadly Parallel The following appeared in last night's Optimist. We do not know! whether or not it is true. Experience J has taught us to doubt the truth of anything appearing under the heading of the Scott Act champions, but i we hope that the following is cor j rect:— "All over Englaifd the saloonkeeper? are asking for a decrease in license and in rent because of an ever fai'ing business. One brewery firm ln asking for decreased assessments declared thatd tiring the past two years the trade in beer in England had fallen ten per cent, and added thai "there seemed to be no stop In the fall of consumption of beer.' " England is about the only part of the English speaking world, if we ex.cpt soutii Africa, which has never flirted with prohibitory laws, but lias contended itself witli a strict license and regulation system. The result, according to our Scott Act friends has been a great falling off in the consumption of intoxicating liquors. Compare tin's with the following, clipped from the commercial column of the Seattle "P.-I.," showing the result of our American cousins' attempts to attain the same result through the medium of prohibitory exaetments: — "Washington, Nov. 27. — The United States has just passed through a banner year for drinks Here is the nation's record for the twelve months ended on June 30, as it shows in the figures of the internal revenue bureau: * Distilled spirits—163,000,000 gallons; 30,000,000 gallons more than the year before. Fermented liquors — 5 0,4 S 5,111 barrels; an increase of 3,000,000 barrels. Moonsliinlng in Dry States illicit distilling and manufacturing of moonshine whisky is on the in. crease 'especially,1 the bureau says, 'where there are state-wide prohibition laws.' Many Stills ih South Commissioner Cabell's report, speaking of illicit distilling, says Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and Soutii Carolina lead in offenses of that character. Within the year officers closed 1,911 plants, 200 more than last year." Xot the Same Thing nt AH How is this for an argument? It appeared in last night's Optimist:— "The Lord Mayor of London, Sir Thomas Strong, who was elected to preside over the greatest city in the world without opposition, is a total abstainer from the use of alcohol." This is probably correct, though the fact that it is published by our Scott Act friends would lead one to doubt it. We do not know anything about the gentleman in question, but we are willing to bet money that he is not a prohibitionist. Right here In Prince Rupert, we can show you a dozen men who are total abstainers and every one of them working against this attempt to enforce the Scott Act. In fact, in this city the best test you can apply to a man's standing is his position on this question.
