MODERN EQUIPMENT
AT COLD STORAGE
Everything About the Place is Being Handled
in the Most Up to Date Manner-Well Appointed Work Shop on the Ground
for Carrying out all the Work.
New Welding Process in
Use There.
Anyone who In any manner doubts
the future of this city has but to
visit the plant of the Canada Fish &
Cold Storage plant at Seal co\e,
and see for himself the expenditure
of money that is there represented
and he will be convinced that the
city of Prince Rupert is to be one
of the commercial centres of the
world. In the plant that is there
provided for the handling of a part,
of the fishing industry, hundreds of
thousands of dollars have already
been expended, and the undertaking
is yet uncompleted. Expenditures
are still going on, making the plant
probably the largest of its kind in
the world. It Is pointed out by those
behind the enterprise that the expenditure is a wise one, and that the
field of operations in this part of
the world well warrants the amount
that Is being put Into the proposition.
George H. Collins, the manager of
the enterprise, who has associated
with him in the enterprise some of
the best business men in the country, has come back from the old
land on this his latest visit more j
than ever Impressed with the ini-
mense openings that there are for all I
kinds of fish products in the old
country. He was besieged on his
visit with... inquiries fvam rhn a !
the business who believed that the
works were ready for starting up,
and who were anxious to place orders for immense quantities of fish
with him. The market is an tin1
limited one, and under the conditions that prevail in these waters
there is going to be the opportunities for taking of the harvest of
the seas In an economical way and
with good returns.
Nothing but the latest in the way
of equipment has been put in the
building that Mr. Colilns has now
erected and is carrying to completion as quickly as the supplies arrive. Tlie building and its style of
construction has before been described in these columns. The immense floor space that is available
for fish and other kinds of perishable commodities Is fast being put
In shape to receive the supply for
which it is intended. It will be
some little time yet before the equip
ment is all In place, but when it is
there will be located in the city
something in the shape of a fish
plant that will be the envy of all
other  places   on   the   Pacific   coast.
In carrying on tho Installation of
the plant at the works there has
been equipped quite an extensive
amount of machinery not directly
connected with the general outfit,
but used in getting that ready for
the putting of it In place. One large
room is used as a workshop and the
equipment of it is of the most mod
ern character. The largest lathe in
the city is to be found there and
there is all kinds of general machinery for the preparation of the
piping that plays such an important
part in the outfitting. The iron
pipe which forms a net work
throughout the building and through
which the ammonia will be carried
in the chilling process, comes to
the place without being threaded for
the connections. All the connections are made on the ground. This
is done because the work must bi
>'ery particularly carried out so that
ti'ere will be no leakages. The pipes
are threaded and in most of cases
the onnections are made perfectly
tight 1 y being dipped into solder
and put together with hot solder
run Into the joints.
The main coils that are used arc
put together without any joints
showing. They are all welded
throughout under a patent process
that is being us< .1 in this province
for the first time. This is known
as the Kerit process. A preparation which is a jcret to all but
those who manufacture it is used.
«. mold specially made is place about
" Joint which consists in bringing
the ends of the iron pipe closely
together, j'he pr paration is lighted Ip thi' reto'-t anil gfiPOTate? ar
intense heat. It is pou" 1 at white
heat into the,mold and as a result
of_ the h<?at a perfect fuse Is made.
Everything about the place Is being planned to save labor in tin
handling of the equipment, and the
material used. The gigantic boilers
are now in place and in commission.
They are to be fed automatically.
From the bunkers on the wharf the
coal will be carried into the building
by buskets ou a chain, dumped into
a specially prepared hopper in
frrm of Ihe fireplaces. The coal
is carried into place by a slowly
n'ovlng carrier that forms the bottom of the firebox. The speed at
which this will move and the amount
of fuel that it will carry can be
re£ ula. ^d to suit the circumstances.
By tht> use of this a cheap class of
fuel may be used ai the material
will be brought directly to the poinl
requited, and the combustion will
be perfect.
In the arrangement of the build-
lug there has been ample provision
made by the company to allow private parties making use of the building for the purposes of cold storage In this way local merchants
and butchers will be provided with
the moans of taking care of their
stocks in the plant. All of one side
is to be devoted to this trade if it
is required. There are rooms of
different sizes partitioned off ofr
this. When not in use by outsiders
it can all be used by the company.
FINANCIAL POLICY
OF THE COUNCIL
Conference with Officials of the Bank of Montreal Resulted in Decision Being Reached
to Take Advantage of Recent Legislation Allowing Treasury
Certificates Being
Issued.
The question of the city finances
was the subject of a conference between representatives of the Bank
of Montreal and the members of the
city council last evening. The result
of tlie negotiations will he brought
before the council on Monday night
in the form of a bylaw, it being the
intention of putting the measure
through without loss of time in ordei
to carry out the proposition that
was n.ade to the council by the
bank.
The conference was a private one,
not open to the public, and resulted
in a line of action being agreed upon bv the council, with one dissenting voice, that of Aid. Montgomery.
The arrangement is to take advantage of the legislation passed  at
the last session of the legislature,
which allows, with the consent of
the government, the isusing of treasury certificates for a period not exceeding three years. It is proposed
to have these issued and put on the
market in order to meet the obligations with the bank until such time
as the debentures may be sold.
It was represented to the council
that there was an opportunity to
sell these certificates on the market
and the recommendation was made
by the bank that it be done.
Aid. Montgomery took the ground
that if the treasury certificates were
to be sold and the bank reimbursed
that then the bank should give assurances of still further advances for
the completion of the hydro-electric
scheme at least.

the Skeena. The deputy minister
is one of the best known fruit men
in tlie province and at the same
time a general agriculturist. Mr.
Manson realized that this district
has a splendid future as far as agriculture is concerned, and accordingly has urged that the members of
the department shall come and assist in the development of the country In this regard. The visit at
the present time is for the purpose
of looking  into  conditions and  soo
the islands. The object of Mr. Gil-
lingliam's visit is to go over the
ground with Mr. Sandilands at this
time, the opening of the season, and
acquaint him with the situation.
The work was carried out last year
under Mr, Gillinghani, and he will

CLAIMS   CONSOLIDATED
\ 	
Million   Dollar Consolidation   Involving Claims in Whitehorse Camp
Has  Been Carried Through
Sunday,  April   14,   1.912.
A   DRY   DOCK
The importance of having a dry
dock such as the G.T.P. Is about to
equip at this port is made evident by
the tremendous extra expense that
was involved in getting the Cheloh-
sin down to Victoria for repairs
from a point within very easy reach
of this city. With the increased
importance of this port as a shipping
point the frequency of accidents like
this must, of necessity increase unless an entirely new race of mariners arise before that time.
Ship repairing is costly work and
a very large proportion of the expense in connection with it goes out
in wages. The result to a city is
the expenditure of an increased
amount of capital in the city. The
citizens will we'eome the early completion of the dock which is to play
such an important part in the industrial activity  of this  place.
THE CLOSED COURT
While the course that the police
magistrate took yesterday morning
of excluding the public from liis
court is not one that we believe
should be generally followed, yet
there is no question that in doing as
he did the magistrate acted wisely
in this particular instance. We do
not. pretend to know just why the
course was taken that he did pursue, but we presume that he readied the conclusion to hold a closed
court as a result of the unseemly
conduct of the mayor the day before.
The mayor was again present yesterday. It is not, as we have before
pointed out, in the interest of justice that a man who knows no better than the mayor what is becoming
in a court of law should be at liberty to take a course that may have
the effect of bringing the court into
contempt.
Magistrate Carss is not inclined
to be punctilious in connection with
his court. He probably adopted the
least objectionable way of dealing
with one who showed a boorish disposition  the day  previous.

It.  H. Thomson, Who Acted as Consulting Engineer Here, Goes Into
Provincial Government Service
In   order   to   develop   Strathcona
Park, the provincial government re-
S"rve around Butte Lake, Vancouver
Island, comprising some  240  square
mile, R. II. Thompson, C. B., former
city engineer of Seattle, and latterly
engineer to  the Port Commission of
Seattle, has resigned     Although the
contract   has   not   been   signed,   Mr. I
Thompson admits he has received an I
ofrer of $.5,00(1 a year for tlie next'
five years from the government, and
that he will visit Victoria Immediately   for   the   purpose    of    completing!
final   negotiations.
Mr. Thomson, since the announcement of his retirement from the ser-:
vice of the porl commission, has
received numerous offers for his ser-j
vices from in the various parts of i
tlie country, one from New York
City to take entire charge of the
pavemonl work In the borough of
Manhattan, bul of all those received
by hlra the development of Strathcona Park, n friend of Mr. Thomson
says, appealed to the most strongly,
on account of the fact that it would
keep him in the open air, as well
as being another step in the development of the northwest.
Mr. Thomson has been long interested in the subject of making the
northwest a world's tourist centre
and he seems to see fa the offer he
has virtually decided to accept the
; ossibtllty of connecting Y'ellowstonc,
G'acler and Mount Rainier parks in
Hie United States with Strathcona
and other parks in Canada, constituting a circuit more interesting than
anything through the entire region
of the Alps.
The development of this park,
which the provincial  government is
Robert Lowe of Whitehorse has
just concluded negotiations for the
consolidation of tlie principal copper-
gold groups, embracing fourteen
claims in Whitehorse Camp, Yukon
District. This involves the payment
or $1,000,000 at periodical intervals
during the next two years. Some of
the first payments will mature within twelve months.
On Wednesday next forty-five miners leave Vancouver for Whitehorse
to begin the necessary development
work. This will be carried out on
a very large scale, and, it is anticipated, within a few weeks regular
shipments to the Tacoma smelter
will be started. A reduced rate of
$2 per ton over the Whitehorse &
Yukon Railway, between Whitehorse
and tidewater at Skagway, has been
promised. The haulage by water has
also been secured at a cheap rate.
W. D. Greenough will be the general manager, and John Mocine of
Seattle will be associated with him
as superintendent. The whole of the
properties will be thoroughly investigated, special machinery for this purpose having been secured.
Whitehorse was discovered in the
early days of the Klondike rush, and
a lot of money has been spent on
its developments. The improved
length of the copper belt is eight
miles, a large part of which has
been tapped. The copper ores, it
is said, average from 4 to 7 per
cent, with good subsidiary values in
gold and silver.
Naturally, Mr. Lowe, who has been
in Vancouver for some time, received
many congratulations on the successful termination of his negotiations,
which have been under way for a
long time. Mr. Lowe has announced
that owing to business arrangements he will not be a candidate
for the Yukon Council at the coining
election. He sat in the late House

All Red Wireless!
x $
Details of the proposed arrangements between the imperial government and the Canadian Marconi
Company for an "all red" wireless
system to encircle the British Empire, a scheme which eventually will
embrace the whole world, have been
received by A. B. Reoch, secretary-
treasurer of the Canadian Marconi I
Company,  Limited,  in   Montreal.
The plan embraces high power stations at various strategic points
within the Empire by which messages can be taken and forwarded,
so that the British Empire will
eventually become independent of cables. The importance of this plan
is very great, as it would mean that
in case of war with any power the
British authorities would be able to
go ahead with their plans whether
the cables kere cut or not, and
could keep in communication with
the fleet anywhere between London
and Hongkong.
The communication received by
Mr. Reoch states that the imperial
postmaster general, acting on behalf of His Majesty's government
and the government of the dominions and colonies, has accepted the
conditions proposed by the Marconi
Wireless Telegraph ompany, for the
construction of all the long distance
wireless stations required for the
imperial wireless scheme. This is
along the lines agreed to at the conference of June of last year, when
representatives of the various colonies and of the imperial government agreed that the project was
practicable.
It was then decided that the plan
should be undertaken, and it is now
announced that the various governments concerned have agreed to
proceed at once with the construction
of high power wireless stations at
London. Egypt, Aden, Bangalore (India), Pretoria (South Africa), and
Singapore. This chain of stations,
it is announced, represents only the
beginning of a scheme which will he
ultimately extended throughout the
British Empire, so as to render it
to a great extent independent of
submarine cables.
According to the plans announced
the stations will be operated for the
first six months on account of the
government .'by the Marconi company, and after that will be taken
over by the government. The company will be paid a certain sum for
each station, exclusive of sites, foundations and buildings. It is further
provided that the company shall receive a certain percentage of the
gross receipts of all the stations during the terms of the agreement,
which is for twenty-eight years.
The imperial government, however, has the right to terminate the
agreement at the expiration of
eighteen years, in which case, however, it would lose the right to use
any of the Marconi patents.
While this arrangement has been
entered into by the governments as
an imperial move, something similar
to the All Red Route, project, the
stations will, of course, be used for
eeneral commercial purposes, and it
is anticipated that the wide extension of the wireless system will result in a considerable cheapening
of long distance communication. It
is, expected that the establishment
.1 this chain of main long distance
stations will result in the installation of a number of smaller ones,
which will act. as feeders, so that
every colony which has one of these
stations will he brought into wireless connection witli a radius of two
or three thousand miles, and with
other parts of the Empire through
tho main sending stations. Incidentally it is expected that it will mean
a groat reduction in rates to some
of the colonies, as some of them
have now to he reached by cables
over a very roundabout rout, which
means great, expense For instance,
the present cable rate between
Ureal Britain and British Gutpana
is $1.75 per wind, while by wireless it Is expected to bring it down
to 2B cents.
But while the scheme has big commercial possibilities, it is from an
imperial point of view that the governments have taken it up. It is considered that the value of such an
Inter-Empire wireless chain can
hardly be overestimated, since by It,
not only will the imperial government secure cheaper and tjuicker
communication with the colonial governments, but it will obtain a more
speedy and reliable communication
with the fleet. All the vessels are
equipped with wireless, and In this
way the warships on the Pacific
will be brought within almost as
close touch with the Admiralty as
the fleet toiling in home waters; and
as these messages are sent by secret
code they would be of little use to
possible hostile powers, even if
picked out the air by other wireless
systems.

WOLGAST AND RIVERS
Lightweight   Champion  Will  Defend
Title Against Mexican in Twenty
Bound   Battle
Ad Wolgast and Joe Rivers, the
Mexican lightweight, were matched
to fight twenty rounds in the Vernon arena, July 4, for the lightweight title of the world. Manager
Tom McCarey of the Vernon club,
announced that both boys had agreed
to make the lightweight limit, 133
pounds,  at   ringside.
The mat tor of selecting a referee
■was deferred, but it was said that no
serious objection was raised by
either side to allowing tlie club referee, Charles Eyton. to officiate as
the third man in the ring.
"I am not at liberty just at present to announce the financial terms
agreed upon," said McCarey, "but
as adopted, they were eminently
satisfactory to both sides."
It is known that Wolgast refused
to fight Rivers for a purse of $12,-
500, demanding in addition a certain
percentage of the moving picture
privileges.
Fight followers said it was likely
that the guarantee first offered
Wolgast. would stand for the July 4th
encounter, with the probable addition of about forty per cent of the
moving  picture   money.
Rivers made no demand upon McCarey, saying he was satisfied to
get into the ring with Wolgast on
any terms.
