Clayton's Friends Petition Him to Return to the Council Board The Offended Member of tho City Governing Body Will Be Urged to Take His Sent Again It is reported that there may he a return of Alderman Clayton to the co««cit • rh*:iil.cr; that is, provided he is willing to accede to the wishes of a number of his friends and sink his feelings In the matter of the insult he conceives has been offered him by the mayor. A petition, it is reported, has been put In circulation asking that the alderman in question "forget it" and get back in the fold again. There will be a meeting of the council this evening and the sitting is being watched for to see if Alderman Clayton will fal in line with the wishes of the petitioners and take his seat at the board again. There are those who are cruel enough to suggest that Alderman Clayton may be the more ready to return in view of the fact that since the mayor took the position of chief of the detective force of the city that the mayoralty may be vacant and that he (Alderman Clayton) sees an opportunity to get. that, position. TRIP TO LONDON NEW LEGISLATION The official trip to England, which Premier McBride has arranged to make, chiefly with the object of straightening out complications between the B. C. Electric Railway Company and various municipalities, will take the first minister from the province not more than a month. Mr. McBride expects to leave on the 12th, sailing from New York on the 20th, and spend . ten days in Loudon. The matters of the appointment of the royal commissions on agricultural development, municipal government and the improvement of the conditions of labor, for all of which provision was made at last session, will remain in abeyance until his return. ALLOW NO ASIATICS Premier McBride Says There Will be Ncne Employed on the C.N-R. in Provinec Outline of Measures That Are Proposed to be Introduced at Next Session of House Audit Bill mid Taxation Legislation Will Be Given Place Among Government Measures Victoria, April 8.—The government will, at Hie next session of the Legislature, introduce a hill making provision lor an audil of the public Recounts other than the system ai present In vogue. The measure will be drawn on the same lines as that at Ottawa. The taxation legislation lo lie introduced will, it is announced.i be based on the report of, the taxation commission. The legislation Iwlll, therefore, it is felt, be exceedingly popular. Mr. Jephson, late of Calgary, has arrived In the city and Intends making this his home. Some months ago he paid a visit to Prince Rupert, and became so thoroughly impressed with the possibilities of the city that he decided to return to enter Into business here. Mr. Jephson is a real estate man and has an abiding faith in this place as a commercial centre. o Don't forget the big Advertising Masquerade in Mclntyre Hall Thursday evening at 9 o'clock. Two handsome prizes for costumes and two prizes for contests. Gray's orchestra. He Denies That B. C. Has Helped the Railway in any Shape to Meet Its Obligations Spoken to witli respect to the statement attributed to Canadian Northern Pacific contractors to the effect that in the event of strike troubles developing more serious proportions the company would apply to Ottawa for a relaxation of the restrictions upon Asiatic immigration, Premier McBride said emphatically that nothing of this kind would be done, If there was any thought of doing it, which be much questioned. The statements made in tlie Bouse of Commons recently In respect to Oriental Immigration wore such as should convince all of the attitude of the federal authorities on this question, while the agreement of the company with the province was clear, comprehensive and complete. This agreement is being and will be most strictly enforced, lie did not, however, credit the statement that railroad officials had made the quoted threat, in all probability there would lie found as little vestige of truth in it as in the much repeated declaration by certain opposition newspapers In Vancouver that the Canadian Northern Pacific had defaulted in meeting its first maturing interest obligation on the bonds guaranteed by the British Columbia government and that the province had been called upon to make good. "They have said," remarked the premier, emphatically, "that the province has been called upon to pay $800,000 In this connection. We have never been called upon to pay one single dollar—not one dime. The company Is quite capable of looking after its obligations, and Is doing so, and I am confident that It will continue to do so." The announcement is made with the authority of Hon. \V. .1. Bowser, fisheries commissioner for British Columbia, that .lolin Pease Babcock, [ who until a year or so ago held office as deputy commissioner in the provincial department, and who is j recognized as one of the most authoritative experts in his specialized; branch of science in all America, has been induced to ally himself with the department, being appointed consulting expert, and will again take up his residence in Victoria, where he has been revisiting old friends during some weeks past. Mr. Babcock's reappointment is incidental to the reorganization and enlargement of the scope of the departments activities, notably In connection with the exploitation of the shell fish supply of the province, and Its special protection and administration. Mr. Babcock will take Immediate charge of the departmental field work and will undoubtedly be instrumental in producing most desirable results. His return and re-engagement in connection with the uritish Columbia fisheries branch is matter for general satisfaction throughout the country. INTO GROUNDHOG CRISIS IS REACHED Northern Anthracite Coal Fields wil 1)2 Invaded by Prospectors and Others This Season Provision Is Being Made to Get Supplies in to the Country foe Trail Building This Year That predictions of great development in the Groundhog field this season are well grounded is made evident by the large shipments of supplies which have gone over the toboggan trail from Hazelton to the Upper Skeena during the last few weeks, says the Omineca Miner. Two large outfits started on Wednesday. Road Superintendent Williscrofi sent in a large quantity of supplies and tools, which will he cached at convenient points for the use of the trail crews which are to be sent in as soon as it is possible to work on the new trail. Frank J. Martin also sent, in a number of toboggans with an outfit for the development of a large group of coal claims owned by Winnipeg capitalists. Sufficient provision has been made for the working of a large number of men on various properties as soon as the snow- is off. Pack trains have been engaged to transport some fifty tons of additional supplies as soon as the trail is open. ENJOYABLE DANCE Daughters of the Empire Give Function in Quarters of Kaicn island Club Daffodil Ball Was in Every Respect :i Grand Success—Social Evening Given Under Splendid Auspices Last, evening the Daughters of the Empire gave a delightful dance in the Kaien Island club rooms. The arrangements for the event were perfect. There was a large attendance and the night passed off In the most enjoyable manner. The floor was in splendid shape and with music by Gray's orchestra nothing was lacking for the dancers. In addition to this the floor stewards took Special care to see that there were none who were not made welcome and found places on the programme.

POPULAR MOVE The suggestion made by the Journal that the mayor confine his attention to the duties of detective and allow the chief of police to fill the office of mayor seems to have met with general approval. It is not suggested that the mayor has any special qualifications for the office of head of the detective department but It is realized that in that position he would be less harmful to the city than in the capacity he is now attempting. Decided indignation is expressed that the chief magistrate of the city and chairman of the police commission should have had a part in the raid of last Thursday night. It matters not what the motive was that actuated his action, it is to be deplored. PREMIER'S VISIT tains of the Yellowhead Pass. "Oue of the members of the party," said Mr. Wl ler, "exclaimed that he could see more peaks than there were in the whole of Switzerland. There was not a sea of peaks, but an ocean of them." Taking his audience, as it were, from the very beginning of the ascent, in easy stages, they made the trip away up to the highest peak. There they saw, over eleven thousand feet above the level of the sea, a huge plateau of ice, and it needed very little imagination to conjure up a vision of the sight that must have been unfolded to those Intrepid climmbers, for Mr. Wheeler explained that immediately beneath their feet was a sheer drop of thousands of feet. Some of the scenes were awe-inspiring. One, for instance, of the guide making his way around the face of the cliff. The feat was not for pictorial purposes, but because that was the only way around. To the spectators, it must have looked as though the guide had hooks on his eyebrows to be able to stay on the cliff. Snow falling five thousand feet was shown. It looked like a gigantic waterfall. Then again there was another river of snow that hurled itself along thousands of feet. Seemingly this snow was propelled by giant unseen hands along sharp declines, over cliffs, and on to ledges that made it leap out Into a long siieaii. down in the river, hundreds of feet below. Mount Robson was especially featured, and If Mr. Wheeler can get his way, Mount McBride will be added to the list of peaks named after Canada's prominent men. This peak, Mr. Wheeler stated, was one of the finest remaining unnamed. It is c'ose to the "Valley of a Thousand Falls," and should be called after the premier. The Valley of a Thousand Falls rivalled some of the finest scenery in that locality, judging by one of the valleys shown. This was a beautiful sight, and gave the impression that a fall of pure white water was taking place, and not a fal' of snow. Crevasses were shown, and every stage of the journey was carefully explained. Growing enthusiastic. Mr. Wheeler described the mountains as unique and comparab'e to the most famous to be found anywhere. He predicted that people from all over the world would soon be coming to make Hie climb. Just as an illustration of how narrow and dangerous the paths 'iius! he, he explained that at one point they had no further use for Hie In a few weeks' time the premier of the province will be in this city, it is expected. The first minister, accompanied by the attorney general, comes for the purpose of getting in touch directly with the people of this part of the province with the object in view of better serving the needs of the north. The practice which the premier has followed ever since he took office of travelling about and becoming intimately acquainted with each section of the country, thus learning the exact requirements and adapting the administration of public affairs to suit the situation is a wise one and has been of inestimable benefit to the province. When the premier comes here there should be special steps taken to bring to his attention the different requirements of this city and the district. . In Mr. McBride those with questions to bring up will find an attentive listener. He makes it a practice to get close to the people in all matters affecting the policy of the government. That is one of the characteristics that has made him the general favorite that lie is in the province. He has touched the very life of the residents and has ever had in mind in the administration of affairs the personal wishes and benefits of those directly con- ' :'. il. steps should he taken before the arrival of Mr. McBride to have ar-, rangements made to present in the besl possible form the exact nee I of the city as they come within the in lew of the pro\ Inclal govern- Tho members of the go\ ■ niiuii will In- pin.ml tu have :i"' matters thai it is fell by i Itlzens should !'•' attended to placi d before thera on tho it so that I liey may be Ihe better understood by them STRANGE DECISION Jack Welsh, tho San Pram referee, sprung a new one in the figliiin^' game in the rocenl fighl ni ■ n een Jaclt Dillon and Prank Klaus, when he announced from the ring during the flghl thai both men were fouling and he could nol prevent it.

Bernier Tells What He Thinks of the Frozen North From Mineral Standpoint Canadian Explorer Thinks There Is Immense Wealth Hidden in the Areas That Are Being Opened That the vast outbound territories in the Antic regions taken possession of and explored by Captain Bernier for Canada Bernier form Canada are not tracts of useland, but abound in mineral wealth of Inestimable value, Including millions of tons of coal, was an announcement made by the famous explorer, iii liis address in St, George's Hall, Ottawa. Captain Bernier spoke to an audience which filled all available space In tlie hall and overflowed into the corridors. "I have been talking for an hour, said Captain Dernier when nearly through with his address, "but In that time I have not begun to lei you of my experiences in the nortl and to describe the countryl have been exploring and taking possession of for Canada." According to Captain Bernier there are vast coal fields on the Barry and other islands In the Arctic containing millions of tons of the very best, of coal, which will provide an unending source of supply for Canada and other countries in the future. The captain showed slides portraying men shovelling coal rifht on the surface of one of the islands. Specimens of the coal were brought back to Canada and will be put on exhibition In the museum here. The speaker declared that il would probably be to the interest of the Canadian government to aid the inhabitants of the north country to use this reserve. .Mineral Wealth The north land Captain Bernier stated, is also rich in copper, iron and gold which at some future date would be mined by Canadians. Another statement received with interest was that in his opinion there Is a vast land, a continent, in fact to the northwest that has never been touched on by white man. "1 have watched closely (lie animal life in the north," said Captain Bernier, "and have always found it a most reliable source of assistance In my work. It has never failed. 1 have seen in the north that the birds and animals in summer go northwest to rear their young in a land that white men have never invaded. They com..' from that direction again in the fall so there must be something there. That gate is ajar and If I urn ale'ed 1 intend ,to discover and take take possession of this land for Canada, as well as much, more In the Arctic to the north." On his expedition Captain Bernier h' - found records of perhaps every explorer who lias braved the dangers and hardships of the polar regions. On an island in Erebus Bay were found the tombstones which marked the last resting places of many of the members of the crew of Sir John Franklin's ill-fated expedition. The yacht Mary, ubanoned on an island In the same bay filled with provisions by Sir John Ross, was also discovered. Provisions left by Captain Parry and records of McClure and a number of others were also found and will lie put on exhibition. In some instances nothing but rope, bin in one case the ruins of a small boat abandoned in 1854 told silently a tale of hardships ami suffering thai had ended In death far from civilization, "The real credil for work in the ni 111 isi be given to these pioneer explorers," declared the explorer, Pole Shifts Captain Bernier di dared thai In his opinion the earth wobbles and the pole Is urn in the Bame position all ih" tlmi This If i an ed iii part by the action of millions of tons of ice at the north Mini south poles. on all Islands landed on, the captain had i re. led cairns and planted the Canadian flag. All hays and harbors gone Into had been made navigable. In July, -911, the Arctic archipelago was taken possession of, while on Dominion Day of the same year a flag given Captain Bernier before ho left on his last trip by the St. weorge's Society was placed on a cape called St. George. A duplicate which went on the trip was brought back and presented to the society by Captain Bernier. Tho flags were duplicates of the one given by Lady Cray to Lieutenant Shackleton before his expedition to the South Pole. In speaking of the dangers on the trip Captnln Bernier spoke in glow- in:, term,- of the government ship Arctic, which has gone through four m mmmp wffl1&---<r-y- & Call \ For all kinds of good nsuraitce See 618 Third Ave., Prince Rupert Phone 203 George Leek polar expeditions unharmed. He had travelled 40,000 miles in it. "The Arctic, although slow, is one of the finest ships in the world today, it is built on the same plan as the Fram. It Is not an ace breaker but the ice cannot break it." The speaker declared that only a ship that was made to withstand ice should go into Hudson Bay, whose waters, he continued, abound in splendid fish but few whales. He declared that many rivers of the north teem with salmon. Took Precautions In speaking of the dangers of the trip Captain Bernier asserted that he had built caches all along the route taken so that if the ship had been lost it would be possible and himself and his thirty-six men to make a return trip. He could possibly have made the northwest passage had he had instructions to do so, but when he had not he could not take such chances as would be necessary. "A man who takes chances in the ice never comes out alive," he said. Captain Bernier referred only in a general way to Dr. Cook, Peary and Amundsen. Expeditions lo the north have gained many thousands of square miles for Canada, he announced. Captain Dernier stated that Captain Nansen will conquer the North temperate habits. All the necessaries life and a good ship to lake on the trip. To reach the pole by the floating method which has proved there is land at the pole a ship should set sail with five years' provisions and a crew with strong constitutions and temperate habits. All the necessries of life must be taken along. Captain Bernier has written Si. George's Society informing it that the two silk union Jacks given him by two past presidents of the society, Messrs. Fred Cook and B, S. Leet- ham, were placed in a cairn on a headland which lie called St. George's Cape.
