Vessel Went on Rocks Last Evening But Gets off at High Tide This Morning—No Serious Damage Done. The C. P. R. steamer Tees, under command of Captain Gillam, struck on one of the Barkley Sound islands last evening at !l o'clock. She was floated about 10:26 this morning, according to a wireless message received here at noon. The vessel is not supposed to be very seriously injured. The Journal's correspondent in Victoria gives the following details of the accident: Steamer Tees, Capt. Gillam, of the C. P. R., returning from the west coast of Vancouver Island went ashore at 9 p. m. yesterday at Gow- land Islet. The passengers landed and proceeded to Toquart. The steamer, which struck during a heavy snowstorm Is not in serious position. She struck by the bow, damaging her forefoot, but has no DELIGHTFUL DANCE DnghtCI'S of the Empire Provide Enjoyable Evening in Knien Island Club Booms water in her holds. The sea was smooth and life was not endangered, by the acident. Capt. Gillam reported that the vessel would be floated at high water today. The wireless message received from Triangle indicates that the hopes of the captain were successful. The fact that the tug William Jol- llffe, belonging to the Bullens, at Esquimau passed Pacbena early this morning Indicates that she was on her way to render assitance, but arrived too late. The tug Jolliffe is the most powerful on the coast. The west coast route is the most trying one during tbe winter months in the whole C. P. R. coasting serv- vice and many narrow escapes have taken place In Capt. Gillam, who was trained in the run under the late Capt. Townsend, th.. C. P, R. has a thoroughly efficieiii officer. Kvungclistic Services Have Been llcbl by Indians from Port Simpson i special Correspondence) SKIDEGA'l'E, .inn. 2-'.. - On January 2:;, He- whole village of Skide- gate was in holiday dress and every- bodj seemed to be in unusually good spirits. The cause of II ail was the marriage of Mr, Frank Tulip to Mrs. Mary Calder, both of Skideg ite. The groom was supported by tout : -,-. usui -n and i lie Snide was attended by four young ladles beautifully attired. The Dride was tastefull; attired in gray, with long bridal veil .ill! flowers. The paiiy was escorted to (he church by - ihe Ski leguti Corne Band. The cermony was performed by ir. Spencer. After congratulations u ihe churi li the I city was led by the hand from the church to the town hall, under a shower of rice most of the way. In tiie hall were four long tables uniquely set and laden with good icings for ihe many friends of both bride and groom who sat down to the wedding repast, Among them was a number of while friends from Queen Charlotte City and elsewhere. Tbe repast being ended, quite a number volunteered addresses and, judging from ih-- laughter which characterized the delivery of them, i.hey were thoroughly enjoyed. The hall was Ihcn cleared and the i veiling was given up to amusemi ills. Tip- whole con,'uiuiiity joins in wishing Die happy couple a long and hi |>] ,- iif--. The old reliable Amur visited Skidegate on tlie 24th, Capt. Locke and his officers always have the best wishes of Skidegate people, especially Mr. Bird, purser, who is exceedingly obliging. There were seventeen passengers from the Indjan village. The weather has been quite cold for the last I wo weeks. About ten inches of snow covers the ground along the beach. A few aardy spirits are spending their time prospecting and staking coal claims. The seventeen Indians who came over from Port Simpson on the last trip of tlie Amur on an evangelistic trip have done good work. Quite a number of the Skidegate band have been encouraged to take higher spiritual ground. They know how to approach their brethren better than foreigners do. As they leave they have the best wishes of the community here. The villagers are putting in a system of water pipes. ■ o RAILWAY TO PAY SALVATION ARMY SERVICES Commencing tomorrow night at £ o'clock, the Salvation Army will conduit a "free and easy."

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Friday, January 27, 1911. JOE MARTIN'S VIEWS Old Time Liberal Leader Has Lost yM Faith in That Party. He Charges All Kinds of Corruption in the Disposition of Offices The "Tweed" affair in New York, said Joseph Martin, member in the Imperial house, in an interview In Vancouver, when discussing the Liberal party In Canada, was not to be compared with the position of affairs here. "Two members oul of forty-two In tlie Provincial house! Two memberB oul of seven in the Dominion house! One of the latter elected under very suspicious circumstances for, if there bad been a tight, lie would not have been elected. And ine other one would not have been elected unless the opposition had run two candidates!" "What was the cause?" "The cause was that the Dominion government, allowed appointments of all kinds, and contracts of all kinds, to he put up and sold at a certain price." "What, Mr. Martin, are the means of salvation?" "There are none," replied Mr. Martin, "while the Liberal government kept selling Iheir goods, as they practically did, openly in the market to the highest bidder, there could be no change." Suppose any event should happen which would leave the Liberal party without I heir present leader, did ..e think that would tend to any change, Mr. Martin was asked, and he said that he most decidedly did not think so. Neither did lie thing there was any hope in the leaving of it to the conscience of the Liberal party. The methods of the "grafters" would ne. r s top until the Liberals wi ni out of i ower, lie said. Mr. Martin wenl on to stale that if the Liberals would stop the grafl thi ri i. ould be no trouble at all, and they could easily slop it, but they kepi it. up because lliey though! there was profit In it. it did not, look at all as if the Liberal government were likely to alter their methods, he continued, as they had been going on now for seven or eight years or longer. He knew that the Independent Liberals of Vancouver and ihe province had. been stirring up matters to such an end for years, but they had new got tired of it all. It was suggested that his departure from the scene of action might have been greatly responsible. Was he not wanted back again here as a leader? Keen, watchful, and alert, as be always is, Mr. Martin's face took on, perhaps, for a moment, a look of increased interest—as in the case of a warhorse scenting the battle from afar—but he confessed he could now do nothing. He had done his best while he was here, and he could do nothing more. "Do you think, Mr. Martin, that matters politically are as bad now as they were on the occasion of your last visit?" Mr. Martin said that he had no reason to suppose they were any better. They never could be any better while the Liberal government kept disgracefully selling its goods in the way they did, and so long as they kept on selling, (lie people would buy. For that he did not blame the people. He blamed tbe Liberal government. They were tbe "grafters." It would never be stopped until the Liberals went out of power. The times had been good since the Liberals went into power, and that counted for a good deal but he also thought that the Conservative party had been weake rthan it should have been. They had not, said "Fighting Joe, ' attacked the government for one-half the things they should have done, and he thought that several times Mr. Borden had failed to grasp the situation. li was no surprise to Mr. Martin to hear of the revelations which had come out at the Royal Commission on Chinese Immigration with regard in the part played by Mr. Kelly and the Liberal executive in this city, was it any surprise to him to hear that It had been su ;ge thai Mr. Robert Kelly had "led" Hon. Mr. Templeman. That latter met had been known for some time. In fact, il had always been the case. Nol only in one or two ways, but In a very great number of ways, remarked Mr. Martin, Vancouver and '—'■■■" "V* Jl*^i£jL Has earned its reputation of being the most popular bottled beer in the world solely because of its superb Quality and Purity.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL SHEEP FOR ISLAfl Plans Advanced for Putting ap Packing House on Massett Inlet. Flock of Thirty Thousand Reported to Be Sent to Queen Charlotte Islands A contract Is being arranged with the Grand Trunk Pacific line by a Syndicate backed by eastern capital to transfer 30,000 sheep from the ranges of Oregon by way of Seattle to Virago Sound on the west coast of Masset Inlet, Graham Island, Where a sheep station has been established to prepare for t.lie big herds to he taken north. The sheep will be trans- pouted to Seattle by rail and will be loaded on the steamer Hehriette, now engaged in transporting construction material to Virago Sound for the new wfhaling station or the Canadian Northern I'aci lie Fisheries company at Naden harbor, says reports from the soulh. Cain. Nicholson, who was in the city this week, said he knew of the negotiations but did not know that the proposition had been decided yet. F. B. Allard, of Seattle, is negotiating with the Grand Trunk Pacific company for the transfer of the big herds of sheep. On behalf of the syndicate he has taken up a large tract of land on the west coast of Massett Inlet and has built a substantial floa.t in deep water at Naden harbor at which the Henrlette will land for the discharge of the sheep. The syndicate proposes to graze sheep extensively on the grazing grounds of northern Graham Island and the 30,000 Sheep to be taken north during the next twelve months by the Henriotte will- be the nucleus of immense herds. It is proposed to establish a large packing house on the island for the export of mutton, and with the completion of the new transcontinental irailroad in the north from Prince Rupert they expect to have a great market in the north as wel las in the west nad middle states. It is proposed to carry about a thousand sheep on each trip of the Henrietta which will be engaged for many months in the business. The mildness of the climate on the northern island and the fact that few animals have been grazed there, has induced the syndicate, after a thorough examination of the land, to select Graham Islnd for thea purpose of extensively raising and exporting mutton. For some years a large band of wild cattleo has roamed at large between Skidegate and Massett on the coast of Graham Island, .living on the wild grasses and each summer the settlers, survey parties and others have obtained fresh beef from this herd which still appears to thrive and increase. o RIVER IS FROZEN NEW WESTMINSTER—The harbor of New Westminster is again practically free from ice, which at no time became an obstruction to shipping. During the severest hours of the cold snap the ice floes, which had drifted down from the upper reaches of the Fraser river, bound together. The government steel dredge Fruhling came up from the mouth of the river cutting a channel through. The government tender Petrel made three trips along tho channel, keeping the broken Ice moving. The Petrel Is a stoutly built boat and able to rope with light Ice, according to the statement of Mr. Bayfield, superintendent of dredges. Two larger and more powerful tenders, one under construction ai North Vancouver tlie other shortly to be commenced, will he available should the ice at any lime reach a thickness with which smaller boats cannot cope. These vessels are net Ice-breakers, but Mr. Bayfield considers them to be sufficient to break- any blockade that may be threatened in the Fraser river. o Nineteen milion dollars Is the neat little profit that made in a coal deal entered into a few months ago by a number of Seattle and Vancouver capitalists, who took an option on seventy-five square miles of bituminous coal lands near Telkwa, on the G. T. P. west of Fort George. They sold the projeot to an English syndicate headed by Sir Arthur Pearson, principal stockholder in Pearson's Magazine, for $20,000,- 000. o A girl thinks a man Impertinent if he tries to flirt with her, and indifferent if he doesn't.

II. NELoON, ■ • Editor. Friday, January mil. \\ IRELESS SERVICE it is gratifying Ind 1 to residents of Prince Rupert to have the advantage in the witch's sservice furnished by the Dominion government and which has proved of such Inestimable advantage since II was placed on the coast. Prince Rupert for a considerable time was placed al a disadvantage In nol having this system made available here, owing to Ihe fact, that all messages had to come through the Dominion telegraph office and the public works department under which that service is maintained insisted upon charging for the messages. It was never the inlentinn that the wireless service on this coast in so far as shipping reports were concerned, at least, should be a source of revenue. The stations were put in as aids to navigation following a lamentable loss of life by several marine accidents on this coast a few years ago. It was then felt that if by a system of wireless anything could be done to avoid such a heavy toll of life, ii should be provided and made free just as any other aids to navigation are made available. By telephonic connection with the wireless station Prince Rupert is in the same position as other ports where wireless is provided. The improved condition has been a little slow in coming, lint Is nevertheless, welcome now that it is here. The introduction of the wireless system on the coast has undoubtedly assisted very materially in reducing the number of disasters on this coast. It is an impossibility to estimate what has been accomplished but the introduction of it has removed many of the terrors of navigation. Late. Such a statement is absolutely false, li is safe to say that not a day passes without its sales and the teal Estate exchange reports a . iady demand for property. Property is not held in Prince Ru- pert as il is in Vancouver as a gamble 11 is held here as an absolutely safe. Investment, There has never been any attempt to "wild cat" In tha city's real estate. In consequence there are opportunities for Investment here that cannot be excelled on the continent. DEATH OF iom:i:i The death of lion. Forbes George Vernon, of Victoria, removes another of ihe men who played an Important part in the history of the province. ile spent all the best pari of his life in British Columbia, taking his share in public affairs and also investing in the province. Tlie northern sec- linn of Ihe country was the sceneof a good number of his investments and no small amount of capital was directed by him to the country that now is coming into prominence. He was a large shareholder in the old Pacific Northern and Omineca railway which was sold a few years ago to the G. T. P. At the same time a large group of local claims in the Telkwa was sold by Mr. Vernon and his associates to the G. T. P. The late Mr. Vernon made himself popular among his many friends. He was of a jovial nature, a characteristic which, combined with a somewhat abrupt style, made him always entertaining. In the earlier days of tbe province he was prominent in politics, administering the lands and works department in the government. TO AFFORD PROTECTION VEILED COMPLIMENT There is no more complimentary tribute paid to the future of Prince Rupert than the persistent attempts made to belitle this city by other places that now rank as cities of the first importance. If Prince Rupert is to amount to nothing why should her existence cause residents of a place the size of Vancouver to take occasion in season and out of season to belittle it? The truth is the city in the south fears the commercial rivalry of this centre. We do not believe that the building ii)i of a great metropolis here will take away from the other cities in the south. As Prince Rupert grows she will build up a tradi largely her own, without, taking away from centres already in exist- ence. A studious attempt, however, has been made to detract from this, city and malicious falsehoods con corning conditions here have been? circulated from time to time. Tlie coming summer is likely to quiet a lot of these reports. There will be a tremendous number of visitors to the place by the excellent, steamboat service that is provided. Last year every visitor went away delighted with the outlook. Minister at Ottawa Says the Government Is Taking Steps in That Direction 111 the house of commons a lew days ago G. II. Barnard called the attention of the government to the poaching by the United States fishermen in Canadian waters off the coast, of British Columbia. Poachers, he said were taking fish off the west coast of Vancouver Island', and the fishery protection cruiser Kestrel had been ordered ot cruise in Hecate Strait, which was not now frequented by fishermen. The Kestrel was, he asserted, absolutely unfitted for her task. She was too slow and was not equipped with a wireless telegraph apparatus as were the poachers' vessels. He did nof believe that itihe cruiser Rainbow would be able to cope with the' situation because of her great draught. He showed that gasoline' cruisers'capable of travelling from 20 to 25 knots an hour were required. Mr. Rrodeur replied that he .lid not think the Rainbow would be entirely useless. He added that the government, was- taking the necessary steps for the protection of the fisheries, but he? did not wish publicly to announce the plan of campaign. SEES AN ELECTION ] lion.

There Is no question, however, that a systematized effort to injure the place has bad its effect and has directed capital In some cases from here. In spite of all this, however, business ronllnues to improve. There is a healthy condition of the real estate market.

Be Tells of the Quickening of Business us a Result of Com. jinny's Coming In Ihe debate upon the address of His Honor the Lieut. Governor, Premier McBride made a speech In the legislature a few days ago in reply to the Liberal rrilicism as to the Canadian Northern construction. H. C. Brewster, tho Liberal leader, had preceded the premier. He devoted himself chiefly to criticising the McBride administration because the Canadian Northern railway had not yet .started construction on Vancouver Island. He stated that during the last campaign the premier had given an understanding that lie would re- . sign if work was not started within three months after the agreement was signed. He wished to know where that resignation and those of the other members for Victoria were. He said it was significant also that though the Nelson convention had passed a resolution urging a land settlement policy he saw no notice of it in the Speech from the Throne, He considered it a very significant - omission as there was a crying need for settlement. He also criticised the government school policy, saying lack of educational facilities was retarding settlement in rural districts and urged the government should give more and. Incidentally, in the course of his speech, he remarked that if the ipremler went to the coro nation, he hoped that when the house met next session he should have the pleasu reof addressnig "Sir Richard McBride," an observation that provoked loud applause. Premier's Reply Mr. McBride, taking up the criti ■ cism of Mr. Brewster's speech, dealt at length with the accusation that he had been false to his pledge in connection with the construction of the Canadian Northern railway on Vancouver Island. He pointed out that it would have been easily possible to have the company build two or three miles of line, but he wanted something permanent and satisfactory. During the past year surveyors had changed their plans and recommended a different route -than first proposed. Till their reports were completed it would have been most unwise to venture on any construction, whatever the political effect. If the Canadian Northern was to compete successfully with the C. P. R. it must have the easiest grades and a delay that secured such grades was well advised. Surveys for the first twenty or thirty miles were now complete, and he had no doubt contracts would be let forthwith and grading proceeded with. Work on the mainland was going on well. All contracts for the coast division had been let and he expected to see trains running over that section next fall. Contracts for grading tlie sections to Kamloops and up the North Thompson were being called for and should be let within the year. Benefits Derived Already the business for the province had been quickened by Canadian Northern construction which had infused an atmosphere of optimism everywhere and he had greatest confidence that the line would be completed within four years. In view of the continued delays In the Grand Trunk Pacific construction It hardly became a follower of Sir Wilfrid Laurier to criticise the dealings of the government with the Canadian Northern. Not only had Mackenzie & Mann Quickened railway construction, they hand also undertaken other enterprises, such as Ihe purchase of the Dunsmuir collieries, As a result of that It was their Intention lo Increase Hie output of the mines three-fold and this would mean more employees and greater business. He was pie, med to see that their ability had been recognized In the capital of the Empire by knighthood. Land Policy Turning to the criticism of the land policy he pointed out that the rural population of the province had doubled within the past five years. That land was not held for speculators was shown by the fact that of twenty-eight million acres of land available for agriculture in the province, twenty-three millions had been reserved for pre-emptors. While the government had realized large sums from land sales, the money had been put Into the development of rural districts by public works. "'he government did this because they recognized that settlement here was attended with difficulties unknown in the prairie provinces. In this country the land most available and easy of settlement was that owned by the Dominion government in the railway belt sof the C. P. R and E. & N., and he asked Mr. Brewster what the Dominion government had done to secure settlement of these lands. The Provincial government had received offers from Ionization companies who wished lo buy land at a nominal price and place settlers on it, but the govern- neut were of the opinion that it was .heir duty to do such work them selves and not entrust it to private companies. He declared that the government bad dealt generously with rural schools which were more efficient under the sohool act that under the former system. In conclusion he praised very highly the work of the forestry commission and fire insurance commission. 0 METLAKATLA'S COUNCIL Election of Those Who Will Repre sent tlie Indians for the Year The election of councillors in Met- lakatla last Tuesday resulted in the selection of Albert Leighton, Jr., Henry Provost nd Joshua Leighton for Ward 1 and Willie Leighton, Peter Haldane and Johnnie Campbell for Ward 2.

IN SOUTH AFRICA Duke of Connaught Pleased With Conditions as He Found Them in lew Dominion. Union Is Solidly Based, He Believes —Races Are Drawing Closer Together Speaking to an interviewer regarding his South African tour, th Duke of Connaught said: "You are authorized to state that we are much pleased with the recep Hon accorded to us in South Africa The enthusiastic character of the reception was by no means restricted to the towns where the great major ity of tlie population Is of British descent." The duke added that in the course of his long journey he always endeavored to see and talk to representatives of all shades of political feeling and of all the principal sections of the population. His Royal Highness has therefore had, considering the short time he spent in the country, what was probably an unequalled opportunity of judging of matters concerning the welfare of South Africa. Speaking ot the prospects of the country under the Union, His Royal I Ugliness said: "From the knowledge I have obtained, as the result of the opportunities I have mentioned, I consider that the Union is solidly based, and that its establishment holds out great promise for the prosperity of the land comprised within the four amalgamated colonics. That there should have been sacrifices of local interest was Inevitable, and with those I expressed sympathy on various public occasions; bul I trust thai what the Union lias taken away with one hand It may repay abundantly with tile other. Thai the Union should be established without a number of minor dissentions and without political strife was unlikely, but it is really remarkable how far the Union lias already become a reality and not a name only. This is In a large measure due to the action of the members of the houses of parliament who have dealt with many Important matters, particularly the education question, in a way calculated to placate both great political parties. The duke laid special emphasis on this matter, and made more than one reference to it in the course of conversation. Dealing next with the relations between Dutch and English, His Royal Highness said: "The two races, whose Interests were for generations opposed, have settled down with the "irm intention of working together. It is impossible that there should never be questions in which a line of cleavage of opinion lies between those two races, but with the mutual respect which exists between English and Dutch there is no reason why racial disagreements should not steadily diminish until those two great racial descriptions are merged in the appellation of South African." With regard to the tour itself, though their Royal Highnesses were much tired with the hard work gone through during the five weeks of receptions, official functions and travel preceding their embarkation at Durban, they soon threw off their fatigue after a few ilays ai sea, and are in the best possible health. PASSING OF PIONEER Forbes Vernon, a Well-Known Figure in Province, Dies ill London The death occurred In London, a few days ago, after a prolonged illness, of one of the leading pioneer residents and chief figures in the early life of the province of British Columbia in the person of Hon. Forbes George Vernon. The late gentleman, who had an Interesting political career In this province, was the third son of J. E. Vernon, D. L., of Clontarf Castle, Dublin, Ireland, where he was born in 1843, His family was one of the oldest and most Illustrious of England, took Its name from the town of Vernon in Normandy, and was established in England by one of the companions In arms of William the Conqueror. In the fifteenth century a branch of the family was established at Clontarf and acquired large estates there, which are at present owned by the family. The castle on the estate, which is historically celebrated, was founded by the Knights Templar in tlie twelfth century and was rebuilt after the original design by the present owners. The late Mr. Vernon was educated in England for the Royal Engineers and in IS03 received a commission from the Imperial government. He resigned this, however, shortly after it had been granted and in the same year, 1SG3, in company with his brother and Col. Haughton, came to British Columbia where they engaged in ranching and mining in Yale district. After a time, Mr. Vernon took over the management of the entire business and soon became possesed of one of the finest farms in the province. In 1S75 he first offered himself as a oandidate to represent the important aistrict of Yale in the provincial legislature and was returned by a large majority. In February, 187(i he accepted the portfolio of chief commissioner of lands and works in the Elliott cabinet, and on returning to the people for confirmation in this position was re-elected. This position he retained until the general election of 1878, when he was re-elected by his eonstiuents, but in consequence of the defeat of the Elliott administration, Mr. Vernon was in opposition. In 1SS2 he was not a candidate for re-election, but in 1S80 he was again returned, and on the death, In 1SS7 of Hon. Mr. Smythe, he accepted office in the Davis government as chief commisioner of lauds and works. At the general elections in 1890 he was again returned by his constituents, and was given the position of chief commissioner of lands and works in the Robson government. He also held the portfolio of mines and agriculture in the Davie government during its term of office, between June, 1892, and March, 1895, and on the advent of the Turner government In the same year retired from politics. — o —.—, STARTING C.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL HONORABLE CUSTODY British Prisoners Convicted as Spies are Well Treated in Germany, The Conditions Under Which They Live Are Not nt All Irksome Some people imagine that Captain Trench and his brother officer, who were convicted of spying on German territory, are probably languishing in a common jail. Such is not the case. They are sent to fortresses in ""Honorable custody." Captain Trench is at Glatz, about which a prisoner who spent three months there, says: "I arrived at Glatz from Berlin, and went to an excellent hotel where I slept before presenting myself to the commanding officer of the fortress, General . Next morning I expected to meet a 'fire-eater,' but instead of that I saw before me a benevolent looking chivalrous old man, who looked at me through his eyeglasses. The general said to me: 'Your arrival was announced, but I cannot yet put you up In the fortress. I thought you would come tomorrow or the day after, and have not yet had your room heated. It Is extremely cold In the fortress now. Just wander about the town today, meanwhile I will have all preparations made for your reception, and towards evening everything will be ready for your visit.' The general then mentioned several regulations, saying that whenever allowed leave beyond the fortress boundaries prisoners must not go beyond a radius of two miles. "Towards evening I ascended a steep hill to tlie fortress and knocked at the heavy portal, whereupon a sentry appeared. I said, '1 am a new prisoner,' and the sentry replied, '1 know everything; your room is well heated, and the lamp is lighted.' I was ushered into an immense room lighted by a petroleum lamp suspended from Ihe ceiling. In the background was a camp bed, and near it a stove, a small table, two chairs and a washstand. Since that time the conditions have changed radically, and now prisoners in the fortress have much more luxurious quarters. A few minutes later another soldier entered the room, saluted, and reported himself for service. Up till this moment I had not fully realized tlte luxuries of 'honorable custody' in tlie fortress. This soldier had come to place himself at my disposal and to act as my valet during my period of detention. "That first evening I sent my visiting card by my soldier valet to all the other gentlemen in 'honorable custody' in the fortress, and begged them to return my call personally and without delay. It would be improper for me to mention the names of my guests at the banquet which ensued, because many of them are today occupants of high offices, and have been recipients of notable marks of distinction, but that evening remains as memorable as the liberal measures or freedom allowed us by General . Certainly, the fortress is not an ideal place of residence, but since I was there I have often been seized with a longing to once more be there and to enjoy that magnificent outlook over the mountains which presents Itself to the lover of nature. In winter and spring one can have a fine time at Glatz, even if one be a British captain convicted of espionage." o MANY DREADNOUGHTS During Year It Is Expected That Every Nine Days on Average One Will Take Water LAND PURCHASE NOTICES Skeena Land District—District of Queen Charlotte Island.

Figures made public here today by the British na\al authorities show that despite the establishment ot Andrew Carnegie's $10,000,000 peace fund and the activities of The Hague Tribunal, the year 1911 will break all records for the launching of battleships. From February 1 until December water in some part of the globe every nine days. Thirty-six will be launched in all, or only two less than the number already afloat as the result of five years' launches. Of these sea monsters, Great Britain will launch 11; Germany 7; Russia and the United States, 4 each. France, Chile and Japan will each have I wo to take the wafer, end Italy, Austria, Brazil and Spain will each launch one.

HUGE STAMP FACTORY British Government Printers Turn Out Postage Stamps at Rale of Million an Hour Messrs. Harrison & Sons of London, the government printers, who have secured the official contract for printing postage stamps for 1911 and onwards, have built an entirely new factory covering ten acres of ground near London and equipped with new and intricate machinery costing many thousands of pounds. Messrs. Harrison are already turning out stamps at the rate of a million an hour, and as they calculate five thousand working hours to the year the total number of stamps printed per annum will be five thousand millions (5,000,000,- 000). The stamps are printed in sheets of 24 0, which sheets in their plain form are worth a penny; when they leave the factory their value is £1. At present, Messrs. Harrison are printing the King Edward stamps. It is understood that the design for the King George stamps has been definitely approved, but the government hs not yet authorized the printing of them. They will probably be in circulation in six months' time. The colors of the new issues will not differ from tlie King Edward stamps, except possibly those for higher amounts.

OUTLOOK Likely to Be Shortage of I'eltos This Year Owing to Meat Being Plentiful The arguments pro and con were well sei forth on Wednesday night in a lively debate at the Methodisl church, on the subject of "Government. Ownership of Public Utilities." The question was decided by a close ballot vote in favor of the affirmative. Mr. Walter Shaw in an able, well-thought-out address, set forth the reasons why government ownership would be best, lie held that government as now constituted was not government in the true or full si use. that ii was not representative if all Ihe people by all the people. Hence it was class government, and government ownership under it can- nol he carried out in its more perfect or ideal sen.-", imporfeci government must carry Imperfection in its operation, lie argued thai the public use of a utilily being admitted as a righi Rev. .Mr. Sing will continue al belonging only to the public or the shun series of evening sermons en whole ol humanity so far as il need- t.he subject of the eii.v, dealing nexl ed io he utilized, such a utility had Sunday night, with the topic: "Liv-,m) rlghl to he charged up with a usury of profit to any private individual. Private gain on public utilities vitiated the principle that the value of a thing lay in its adaptation to use and to tho greatest possible number. Public ownership, or own- rship by the whole of what was useful lo Ihe whole encouraged the besl in men and reduced the temptations i bi Ifishnesa and greed to a minimum. Vnarchy or Nihilism was confusion in the body politic nad this was constantly engendered by the Introduction of the principle of private gain in the use of public utilities. Mr. Shaw was followed by Mr. Haniblin, who admitted that government ownership might be all right and very nice but practically it was difficult lo gel. the advantages sought for as in many cases which ne he cited where it had been tried, it was found necessary lo go back to the method of operation of public utilities by private corporations. Mr. Button read -Ir. McKay's brief for ihe affirmative as the latter was not able to be present. Mr. McKay held to the principle of government ownership, though he acknowledged that it. had its defects, citing tlie instance locally of the electric light plant which was being tardily and painfully brought forth, with the possible inference that it might be a stillborn infant, and be no light in the house after all. Mr. r>elson closed the argument for the negative holding that the probable effectiveness in the practical working of the utility for the public good would be in favor of the private company as against the public control. The plant would be more up-to-date as new equipment would be installed from time to time under the pressure of public criticism and the fear of the introduction of opposition companies. On the other hand, the great temptation of governments to graft is increased by putting ese agencies into their hands and the shifting of governments whether national or municipal makes possible an unsettled condition in the handling of these utilities. He favored private corporations bound under the most careful restrictions. Other debates will be arranged and given at the Christian citizenship meetings which are held in connection with the Epworth League on the last Wednesday evening of each month. Topic next Wednesday evening, February first: "Lessons from the Life of Joseph." ************************** iemember 'hat we Import ur That circumstances prevailing in the northern districts just now point to a shortage of the fur crop this season is the substance of statements made by the travellers who have recently arrived In Edmonton from posts In the north where the largest catches of fur are usually made, says the Edmonton Journal. It is stated that the caribou are ariicularly plentiful in tho north ihis winter and that it is easy for Ihe natives to kill them and thus supply themselves with an abundance of fresh meat for winter use. Consequently the half-breeds and Indians do not find it necessary to exert themselves in the work of trapping fur bearing animals because the caribou meat will take the place of bacon and other stuff that they would derive from the exchange ol furs at the company trading posts in the north. For this reason much less trapping is being carried on than was done during the cold months of 1910. Another factor that tends to lessen the winter activities of the natives of the north is the exceptionally low price paid for rat skins this winter. It. is stated that at Fort Smith rat pelts are selling at as low a price as $1 a dozen. Rats are plentiful this year but in view of all the circumstances it seems hardly worth while fo rthe trapper to bother his Lead about them. If any danger existed of these little animals becoming extinct as a result of the inroads of the fur trappers they will be given a fair chance to thrive during the present season. Northern men say that fur of all kinds is plentiful this winter. Three or four sliver foxes have already been bagged In the vicinity of Fort Smith. direct from Europe; and that no house in Prince Rupert can equal them for quality. No better can be bought anywhere in the Province.

A good filling is made of potatoes, mashed and beaten light and seasoned well with salt and pepper, butter, a little parsley or sage, and two teaspoonfuls of onion juice. This makes a delicious filling. I am sure if you will try this way of roasting ducks you will be much pleased. Eir AM) Houses, Stores, Offices to Rent.
