HAYS RACK * Vancouver, May 17.—David * II. Rays of Prince Rupert ar- * rived here today Croni Montreal, * where he attended the burial of * his brother, the late Charles M. * Hays. Details Relative to the Decision of Government to Refer it Back, Given By Nr. Lucas At Original Hearing It Is Alleged There Was Not a Representative of All Parties Concerned That politics had nothing to do with the determination of the gov- ernor-general-in-council to reverse the order of the railway commission regarding the station at New Hazelton was the emphatic statement of F. G. T. Lucas, who has returned to Vancouver from Ottawa, where he was present before the council, representing the residents of Old Hazelton, the Old Hazelton Board of Trade, and property owners of South Hazelton. The order for a rehearing of the case was made on the representing of certain statements made before the commission at the original hearing, the incorrectness of the statements being admitted by the persons responsible for them, and because at the original hearing there were no interests represented save those of the Grand Trunk Pacific and the New Hazelton Townsite, while South Hazelton and Old Hazelton and other interests vitally affected by the ruling of the commission were without voice In the proceedings, says the News-Advertiser. Mr. Lucas was careful to state that the application for the reopening of the case, as far ah shis clients were concerned, was not for the pfir pose of opposing tlie erection anil maintenance of a station at the "Kelly Townsite" of New Hazelton, but for the abrogation of that pari of the order which forbade the opening of the station at South Hazelton. "At the original hearing, before the railway commission, only two of the interested parties were represented," said Mr. Lucas. "These were Robert Kelly and the Grand Trunk. At the hearing before the council there were represented the G. T. P., by W. H. Biggar; W. J. Sanders, tlie original owner of South Hazelton, by Mr. Caldwell of Ottawa; the Methodist Church, owners of property adjoining South Hazelton at the confluence of the Skeena and I Bulkley rivers, by N. W. Rowell, K. C, leader of the Liberal party in Ontario, and other land owners by myself. "Opposed to them, in the effort to sustain the order of the railway commission, were counsel for Mr. Kelly, T. Chase Casgrain of Montreal, a prominent Conservative, and recently appointed to an important position by the liordeii adniimsfflt- tion, and Clive Pringle, both representing property owners of New Hazelton. "The feature of the appeal before the council was that the ruling of the commission was given on a matter of dispute between Mr. Kelly and the Grand Trunk Pacific, which involved other and larger interests, these latter beingwithout representation. It was shown that had the other interests been heard at that time and had not certain misrepresentations been made, the very strong order made by the commission would never have been made. as a matter of fact, in 1909, the Grand Trunk Pacific had agreed with the owners of the old Ellison Town- site, one and a half miles from South Hazelton, to give them a station. "This property was subdivided and sold on the understanding that it was to be the townBite. But this location was found to be unsuitable for the people of Old Hazelton, and In 1911 they met G. Ryley, land commissioner of the G. T. P. at Old Hazelton, and in a conference with the owners of Lot 851, now known us South Hazelton, the G. T. P. representative agreed to establish a station at South Hazelton. This latter location is the nearest point to Old Hazelton Townsite, the head of navigation on the Skeena River and the most advantageous location for the lallway station as far as giving a service to the Old Hazelton Town- site is concerned. In connection with tills agreement, the purchasers of the Old Ellison Townsite lots were given tlie option of having their niau- ey returned or of receiving lots of proportional value In the South Ha- ze'ton Townsite. The carrying nut of this agreement was baulked by the order of the railway commission prohibiting the Grand Trunk Pacific from giving a station to Sout li Hazelton. Nobody wants to have the station taken away from Mr. Kelly, but we do want the order prohibiting the placing of a station at. New Ha- zelton, where it will serve the town of Old Hazelton, being tlie nearest point to the old town and where it is at the head of navigation on the Skeena." It may be 'mentioned that the statemenl that the present is the first Instance wherein the railway board's order has been upset by the govern- or-general-in-council is erroneous. The board's order in the White Pass & Yukon Railway rate case was sent back to the commissioners for reconsideration. TO GIVETHE FACTS Aid Bullock--Webster Shows a Readiness to Enlighten the Citizens upon Public Questions—He Gives the Figures Relating to the Three By-Laws that are Before the Taxpayers Alderman Bullock-Webster not only Is willing to assume the full responsibility that may attach to the policy that has been pursued by the financo committee of the city council, bin he is willing to give the public any information that is avai1- nlile to the subject of the bylaws that are now before the people for. signature preparatory to being voted upon by the property owners. In an administration now becoming famous for Hie paucity of in- formallon which is obtainable from it, there is indeed a satisfaction to find one who is in a position to give the information that is the just right of the people. In Alderman Bullopfc Webster such an exception seems to have been found. It. is gratifying. therefore, to be in a position to at last give facts relative to the bylaws thai the citizens have long beep wanting. Whether tlie policy that Alderman Bullock-Webster is prepared lo follow and defend is such as to appeal to the public it. is indeed gratifying to find one member of the finance committee who appears to he able to get at the true condition of affairs and give the public the facts. The ■Vuirnal acknowledges, its thanks m that alderman for the frank way in which, he meets the wishes of tlie citizens on this point. The following figures have been furnished the Journal by Alderman Bullock-Webster, and in explanation he states that he thinks the figures are as accurate and up to date as can be got without going over the final expenses of the new city hall at great length with the architects. The figures given are under the three heads covered by the bylaws now before the people; namely: city hall building, for which it Is sought to borrow $35,000; electric light, for which $66,000 is sought to extend the plant and the lines; and telephone extension, which is estimated to cost $20,000 The figures of Alderman Bullock-Webster show the following under these heads: New City Hall 1. Actual cost of new city hall to end of March, 1912 $22,215.26 2. Amount paid since Mch.. $1,666.40 3. Amount estimated to complete new city hall with furniture $6,118.34 4.

They were in a collapsible boat. One of tlie bodies was that of Thompson Beattie of Winnipeg. They were buried at sea. In tlie opinion of Dr. French of the Oceanic the men died from exposure and hunger. Hearing out this theory is the fact thai in the mouths of the men were found small pieces of cork which the men had evidently chewed in an affort to allay the pangs of li linger.

THE BYLAW'S The figures that are submitted by Alderman Bullock-Webster relating to the money Bylaws that It is sought to get before the people should be carefully considered by the citizens generally before a decision is reached either in favor or against the bylaws. It will be seen that there was expended out of the taxes of last year by the council of 1911 the sum of well on for $24,000 on these three enterprises that are to be dealt with by the bylaws. This money has been actually spent by the city and been paid In in taxes by the citizens. If we are not mistaken the policy of last year's council was in part dictated along this line by the fact that there were none of the large local improvement levies to be assessed against property last year and with such a condition of affairs it was wisdom on the part of the council to pay for as much as possible out of general revenue as long as the taxes were not made excessive in so doing. It was possible to keep the rate down low last year and still pay all this sum out of general revenue. Under these circumstances we doubt if there will be many who will find fault with the policy that was carried out. As the years go by there will be demands in the way of local improvements and civic undertakings that will have the tendency to keep the rate of taxation high enough without going back and picking up all these charges. It Is questionable whether the citizens will approve of this feature of the bylaws, more especially with regard to tlie city hall construction. There has been $10,000 spent on that work by the council of last year, or a proportion approaching a third of the sum that the present council estimates as the final cost of the whole place furnished. The citizens would probably be better content to realize that there was that part of the cost safely provided for and paid than add that sum. small as il is to the bonded indebtedness of the city. There is no danger whatever that the bonded indebtedness of the city will mount up with sufficient rapidity without attempting to pull all that It is sougl I to bring In n i'.v by means of these bylaws. Under the heading of electric llghl ii will lie noticed that the council of this year look rather long chances in incurring indebtedness without au- t! ority to the extenl of $27,000. This is a long way in excess of the limii which the acl allows and ii would surely have been wisdom on the pari of the council to have had the sanction of the property owners earlier in the year on this mailer before Incurring the liabilities thai were incurred. Alderman Bullock-Webster may thrown himself open to the charge by the mayor of "croaking" to the Join iib.1 bul he has certa al i doni good service In giving lo the public these figures, which will allow them to study the situation In a much more Intelligent way than has been pi sible from any remarks of the mayor and the chairman of the finance committee. Alderman Bullock-Webster has shown that he possesses the comnion sense to understand what information is naturally required by the public and tlie common decency to give the public the information When he got it. Unfortunately for the eiiy, he seems in this regard to occupy an unique position on tho finance committee. There will arrive in the city today, .Mr. Clements, the member for the district in the Mouse of Commons. | Mr. Clements will be given a hearty reception on his return from tlie first session of tho House since his elec- | tion. In thai session lie lias shown that he has the requisite charactistlcs I to make a good representative. He i has evidenced an unfailing Interest i in this city and in the whole of the I constituency. Prince Rupert has i every reason to feel thankful to the member for the way he has remem- ! bored the city and irrespective of party lines altogether he will be i given a whole hearted welcome by i the citizens. In securing the boon of the night i letter on the government telegrapa j line he did something that has affected practically every business man I in the place. The tremendous number of these mesages that go out and are received in the local office every night attests to the importance of this service that has been rendered by Mr. Clements. This is only one of the many benefits that have been derived through the representations of this indefatigable member. Those that have had to do public business through the member can testify to the fact that he seems never to sleep and is ever ready to assist in the securing of whatever is sought. Mr. Clements has certajnly shown an untiring interest in Prince Rupert.

IS PISHING FORWARD CONSTRUCTION The Opening the Spring is Marked by Very Active Measures Near Tete Jaune Cache On the construction of the main line of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, from Mile 28 west of the sum- mil to Mile 03, there .are today at work no fewer than 6,000 men, blasting the right-of-way through the mountains, grading the track, laying the ties for the railway which is to connect tlie city of Edmonton with tidewater on the Pacific Coast by the shortest route across the North American continent, says the Edmonton Capital. By July 1, according to the forecast of the subcontractors of Foley, Welsh & Stewart, under whose care the whole of the construction programme is being carried out, the steel will be laid as far as Tete Jaune Cache, at Miie 53, B. C. Before the raod can be completed to this point the contractors must finish the tunnelling from Mile 47 to a point some 2,000 yards west. Here Is* the heaviest work on the whole grade and from 1,500 to 2,000 men have been engaged for months on the taBk of blasting a tunnel through the solid rock part. This undertaking accomplished, the contractors will make fast headway down the Fraser Valley, and before the close of the construction sealon will have reduced to comparatively insignificant figures the distance separating gangs on the road working from the east and those working from Prince Rupert eastwards towards Alberta. Throughout the summer months twenty-four steam shovels will be at work in the valley west of Mile 53, building the way for the roadbed of the Grand Trunk Pacific. Subcontractors who are now in this city State that the actual amount of grading done and the mileage of steel laid will at the close of the present season be greater than the accomplishment of either of the two preceding years. At Resplendent, B. O, where the steel gangs laid down their tools at the end of the active season last fall, track laying will commence again in less than a fortnight's time. Men and teams, and the necessaries of life for both, timber, structural steel, ties, rails, all these have helped swell the consignments of freight which have been sent over the line during the winter months. The contractors say that the camps hvae never been more peaceful, that the laborers have never shown the least dissatisfaction than during the past season. On the Upper Fraser River two boats and some twelve gasoline launches are used by the company for the purpose of transporting materials and supplies for work along the grade. in parliament as a Unionist for three years, and was a member of the committee which enquired into the Jamieson raid. Some of his epigrams, delivered in a dry way, which added vastly to their point, have become famous with tlie legal profession. Here are two: "A judge who is not worth criticism is worth nothing at all." And again: "1 hope I shall still be able to do useful work, notwithstanding the ominous assurances of my friends that I look younger every day." o SEARCH FOR A Mil,I,ION Attempt lo Salve Bullion Sunk Willi Liitine n Century Ago Bullion valued at over a million is stored in Hie British frigate Lutine, which has Iain at the bottom of the sea off TerschelUng, on the coast of Holland, since she foundered on October 8, 1799, and at the end of April the salvage steamer Lyons, under Captuain Charles A. P. Gardiner, set out for the purpose of attempting to get the treasure. During the last fifty years some £100,000 has been salved from the sunken vessel, and last year the Ranger, by means of her powerful suction pumps, removed 700,000 tons oi sand which add drifted over the frigate. In October the operations had to be suspended for the winter owing to the setting in of bad weather, and it is calculated that the sand which has- since drifted over the wreck will be removed in a day or two by the pumps, which can suck up 1,750 tons of sand an hour. The Lutine lies at a depth of fifty feet, and in her there are 1,800 bars of gold and 400 bars of silver. Each gold bar weighs 114 ounces, and the silver bars weigh fifty pounds each. Before the bullion can be readied an enormous quantity of cannon balls will have to be removed, and the decks which have collapsed removed bodily. It is expected, if all goes well, that the bullion will be reached by July. There are already slings round the old wreck, which holds together, having been built of British oak, and it is under consideration to remove her bodily into TerschelUng Harbor by means of two lighters, but that depends upon whether her bottom is sound. So far two cannon, a number of cannon balls, and about fifty tons of oak have been got up. The pumps will suck up cannon balls weight fourteen pounds each, but not the bars of gold, which, unless the wreck Is docked, will have to be salved by divers. M. M. STEPHENS & CO., LTD. MAN OF EXPERIENCE Lord Mersey Regarded as Greatest Authority on Matters Maritime —Distinguished Lawyer Lord Mersey, better know as Sir John Bigham, the ex-president of the probate, divorce and admiralty rivi- sion, enjovs the highest of legal reputations irT" the Old Country, and is of unequalled authority on matters maritime. He was a pupil of that famous lawyer, the late Lord Russell of Killoweu, near fifty years ago, and later enjoyed a practice at the bar of almost fabulous worth, being much sought as counsel in large commercial cases. A native of Liverpool, and for long leader of the northern circuit, litigation in connection with shipping has loomed large in his professional life. "Collision," "vis major," "alluvion," "Jettison"—all all these words were lor ninny years part of his every-day language. And when he was appointed president of that division of the high court, one part of whose threefold jurisdiction is concerned with ships and that that go down to the sea in them, there was general satisfaction felt among admiralty lawyers, although he himself is said to have quoted humorously: "May there be no moaning of the Bar When I put out, to sea." Lord Mersey resigned from the bench ostensibly on the ground of advancing years. But it was generally suspected that government pressure was brought to bear on him on account of his somewhat latltudinar- ian views on divorce. He maintained, it may be remembered, that it was the part of a wise wife to shut her eyes to her husband's occasional infidelities.

I SPORTS | WORLD'S RUNNER One of the most important of recent athletic performances was that of Alfred E. Wood of England in New York, where on May 5 he ran the fastest fifteen miles ever recorded in an amateur or a professional race In a description of this interesting event the New York Herald says: "One by one, the new king of professional distance men ran his eleven rivals off their feet. First it was Svanberg (of tlie more prominent entrants) that succumbed to the pace—collapsed, in fact- then St. Yves, then Alfred Shrubb and filially Billy Queal. the American champion. And on the last lap of his remarkable effort Woods finished ■with a sprint that brought ihe four thousand spectators io their feet cheering wildly. "The Englishman placed the record at a figure that by comparison should withstand attacks for many years. His time, 1 hour, 18 minutes 15 seconds, was nearly two minutes faster than the old mark, established in 11)02 by Charles Appleby, when the latter defeated Alfred Shrubb at Glasgow in 1 hour 20 minutes 2-5 seconds. Conditions were anything but propitious for the breaking of records. A cold rain fell during the first six and the last six miles of the race, gradually softening tlie quarter mile cinder track and rendering it a trifle heavy for the closing miles of the trip. Woods, Queal and Shrubb all wore jerseys al ihe start, but the latter two peeled them off before covering the first mile. Woods refused to follow their example and seemed to use good judgment in doing so, for after the tenth miles Queals legs and arms stiffened noticeably and so did Shriihb's, while Wood's action continued smooth. "Shrubb did most of the early pace-making, varying his steady stride witli occasional spasmodic bursts of speed that left all but Queal and Woods in the rear. "Shrubb weakened in the ninth miles, and atthe twelfth Queal was through so far as winning was concerned. Woods continued strong, lapping Queal during the fifteenth miles and winning by nearly a lap and a half, with Shrubb one minute behind Queal, Crooks in fourth place and Nieminen fifth. "In addition to the fifteen mile record, Queal and Woods shattered intermediate marks, Queal leading by a stride at the end of the eleventh and twelfth miles, while the tenth, thirteenth and fourteenth mile records went to Woods. "Wood's time for the fifteen miles was 1 hour 18 minutes 15 seconds, Queal's 1 hour 21 minutes 2 1-5 seconds and Shrubb's 1 hour 22 minutes 4 1-5 seconds."

THE DEADLY WOOD TICK A Pest Common to British Columbia Said to Re Dangerous "That wood ticks are sometimes the means of infecting with spinal meningitis persons whom they bite is well recognized in the medical profession in British Columbia. In the past thirteen years I have had four rases where this disease could be d'rectly traced to wood ticks and two of these cases were fatal," said Dr. W. O.
