MOB DUMPS COAL INTO THE HARBOR AT CORDOVA
FINAL INSPECTION OF
HIDDEN CREEK NINE
Granby Officials Have Gone to Goose Bay With M. K.
Rodgers Preparatory it is Believed to Taking
Over the Controlling Interest in
the Propositions.
There arrived on the Prince Rupert on Wednesday an important
party of mining and smelting men
and capitalists on their way to Goose
Bay. By impressing a launch into
their service the party were enabled
to make arrangements to be taken
off the Prince Rupert on the way to
Stewart and proceed to Goose Bay.
The party had at its head M. K.
Rodgers, the original owner of the
Nickel Piute Mine at Hedley, and
who still retains his Interest in it.
Some years ago he became attracted
to the Portland Canal and Goose
Bay. The Hidden Creek group was
developed to a considerable extent,
which was followed last season by,
the taking of an option upon the
controlling interest by the Granby
Smelter interests.
All winter the company has had
its experts at work on the property
and within a few weeks' time a decision has to be reached as to
whether the purchase will be made.
With Mr. Rodgers are J. B.
Graves, the head of the Granby
Smelting Company, 0. B. Smith, superintendent at Phoenix for that
company, Mr. Sylvester, the general
manager, Mr. Williams, and several
other experts. They are going to
Goose Bay for the final inspection
before taking over the control in the
mine. The tests made as the mine
has progressed and the material exposed has been, it is generally believed, entirely satisfactory,. although the officials of the company
have been very reluctant to give out
information. It is therefore, expected that they will take up the option
and thus become the controllers of
the mine. The present trip will decide the matter.
Following the taking over of the
properties it is expected that the
Granby company will build a smelter in close proximity to the property, A supply of coke is important
in connection with this and coking
coal is being sought by the officials
within as easy reach as possible of
the location.
The establishment of such works
will be attended with wonderful results for the whole of the north. It
will give new life to mining on the
coast and avoid the necessity of
shipping south as at present.
The party will spend a few days at
Goose Bay before returning south.

Intense Opposition to the Policy of the Government With Re&pect to
Alaska Coal Cases Results in Protest in Form of Privately
Owned Fuel From Vancouver Island Being Thrown Into
Water—Authorities are Powerless to Prevent
the Move
(Special to The Journal)
SEATTLE May 5.—A mob of 300
men emulating the revolutionary heroes who formed the "Boston Tea
Party in 1773," went on to the dock
of the Alaska Steamship Company at
Cordova, Alaska, yesterday and began dumping into the sea several
hundred tons of coal stored there.
The coal stored at that place is valued at $6,000 and is part of the
stock kept on hand by the steamship
company and the Copper River and
Northwestern Railway Company..
J. Barry, general agent for the
steamship company at Cordova, says,
"The feeling here Is. intense over
coal matters. A mob of over 300
men are now on the dock dumping
Nanaimo coal into the bay. The authorities here are powerless. The
mayor is celling on the governor for
help. There is no feeling against
the company. It is against the government on account of the report
that no action would be taken on the
coal land cases."
Senator Lafollette's resolution
adopted by the United States senate
calling on the secretary of the interior for information relative to President Taft's executive order of October 12, 1910, withdrawing from the
Chugach forest reserve 12,800 acres
of tide land on Controller Bay, Alaska, revived the whole Alaska coal
controversy. Controller Bay is the
nearest ocean port to the great Beh-
ring River coal fields, in which are
situated all but one of the groups of
claims which have been under investigation. The bay shore is shallow,
but ships could load coal at trestles
built across mud flats to deep water.
It is alleged that last summer the
steamer A. G. Lindsay landed <m the
shore of Controller Bay more than
five miles of barbed wire fence consigned to Mr. Richard S. Ryan. It is
alleged also that early on the morning after President Taft's order was
issued Mr. Richard Stanley Ryan,
former delegate to Congress from
Alaska, staked all the land opened,
posting notices of location under
soldier's scrip. Ryan's operations
are said to be financed by Probst,
Wetzler & Company, Lords Court
building, New York. Ryan, according to land officers, was engaged all
last summer in surveying the lands
subsequently opened, and his engineers are known as Guggenheim employees.
At the Seattle office of the Alaska
or Guggenheim-Morgan syndicate it
was said that nothing was known of
Ryan's movements.

Condition
(Special to The Journall
OTTAWA, May. 5—Although the
arrangements will have to be submitted for ratification to the caucus
of the Liberal party to-day, it is
practically certain an agreement will
be carried in the house for a adjourn-
meqt of the seesion from May 23
to July 18. This decision was
reached after consultation between
Sir Wilfrid Laurier and R. L. Borden, the leader of the opposition.
While in a general way the truce
is a victory for the opposition, it is
admitted the terms bear heavily
upon members all round, inasmuch
as it means that they will have to
return to the capital in midsummer
and conclude the work of the session
without any extra remuneration.

(Special to The Journal)
WINNIPEG, May 5.—E. J. Chamberlin, general manager of the Grand
Trunk Pacific, says the announcement that the Brandon branch of
the Grand Trunk Pacific will be surveyed at once and work started is
soon possible. The contractors are
pushing work on the Reglna branch
and promise to have the grading finished by Jul 1.
o—
Preparatory to commencing work
on the grading of a piece of work between Lynch's and the Knox Hotel,
the city has received tenders for rails
and other equipment. These were
opened last evening. Three were received, the various items being specified. They were from the Prince
Rupert Hardware Company, Handa-
syde & Hurt and Thompson Hardware Company. These were referred
to the streets committee with power
to act.
SEALING CONFERENCE
British Representatives at Gathering to
be Held in Washington, D.C.
Capt. Harris, of Victoria, Will Re
One of Those Who Will Give
Expert Advice
(Special to The .Journal) /
OTTAWA, May 5.—At the international sealing conference to be
held In Washington on May 15, the
Britisii representatives will be Ambassador Bryce, and Joseph Pope,
Canadian under-secretary of state
for external' affairs.
Associated with them will be J. M.
Macoun, assistant naturalist and
botanist of geological survey, W. A.
Found, acting superintendent of
fisheries, and Captain Charles I.
Harris, of Victoria, who will attend
the conference as a sealing expert.

J. Y. Rochester has returned to
the city from the south.

E. Stonham, inspector of the
Bank of British North America,
spent a few days in Prince Rupert
this week In connection with his du-
tle. He reached here from Dawson
just one year from the date when he
first came to the city to open the
branch of the bank here.
The city council at a meeting held
last evening in the city hall, formally accepted the new auto fire
equipment which combines a chemical engine, hose wagon and limited
ladder wagon. The machine is the
very latest of its type and has been
found fully up to the specifications'
as ordered last fall. It is made by
the Seagrave Company, of Walker-
ville, Ont., and before being landed
here had been put on exhibition in
Toronto and Vancouver where It was
very favorably regarded and in each
resulted in the selling of duplicates.
Yesterday afternoon Mayor Man-
son, the aldermen, newspaper representatives and othrs were taken for
a run out in the machine under the
charge of the experts, Mr. Browning,
the selling agent, and Mr. Lee, the
driver, representing the company.
The route taken was through the
business section ard out to Seal Cove
by way of McBride Fifth and Sixth.
While there was no hose carried,
it was estimated that the sixteen
men who took up position in the
part allotted to the hose would represent about an equal weight to that
which would be required of the auto.
No difficulty was experienced in
takin gall the inclines without alter-
in gthe gear. The return was made
from the end of Sixth avenue, overlooking Seal Cove to the Fire Hall,
in seven minutes, the run being made
without any attempt lo make record
time and with' a number of slow
turns where houses were being
passed.
The machine wns always under
most complete control and showed
Itself very satisfactory—the only objection raised being tlie difficulty of
getting along (he streets with ease
until the grading is done. However, that was something the agents
could not be expected to solve.
At a special meeting of the council held last evening, His Worship,
the mayor, told of the trial run and
the report of Fire Chief Mclnnis was
presented in which he stated the machine was fully up to specifications.
Mr. Gibson has shown himself able
to handle it.
Aid. Smith moved that the auto be
accepted and the account paid thirty
days from date. He would like to
have on record in the ctiy hall the
original agreement. The copy of the
agreement which the city had,
seemed to have been lost. He would
like to have the original agreement
on record.
This Mr. Browning agreed to do.
At the suggestion of Aid. Morrissey, the correspondence relative to
the purchase was produced In order

The
looet,
on duty In these waters, preparing
the charts covering the entrances to
this port so that all may be in readiness for the ocean-going shipping
that must follow the completion of
the Grand .Trunk Pacific.
Last summer the remaining portions of Dixon Entrance were surveyed by the Lillooet from Masset
Inlet to Naden Harbor and to within
the three-mile limit on the Alaskan
side. There yet remains to be done
several weeks' work to give a continued charted course into the open
ocean and this will be done by Captain Musgrave.
The Lillooet has this year, in addition to Captain Musgrave, who is in
charge, three assistants, Mr. Davis,
Mr. Burns and Mr. Fortier. Already
since coming north the Lillooet has
been engaged coupling up the surveyed parts south of Kennedy Island
so that all the coast line for a considerable distance south of the
mouth of the Skeena is well charted
and the greater part has been published by the department for use of
the shipping men. The work of last
year along the north end of Graham
Island Is being published by the department now.
There will be no land party engaged this year as there has been in
former years. The land party used
a launch and operated off Kennedy
Island, The moBt pressing work
there has now been completed.
The Lillooet now is engaged In a
survey off the entrance or Skidegate
Inlet. The charts used at present
are very old ones, compiled ley the
admiralty and while exact at the
time are now nol exact. The banks
have altered and the channels are
not perfectly marked In consequence.
Captain Musgrave will attend t"
lhat work and thus place exact information' at the disposal of the
shipping men./
in the most reliable month of tlie
season he will complete tlie work
done by the Lillooet and Egeria in
Dixon Entrance.
With good weather conditions prevailing this year, the Lillooet Will
be able to leave In the fall with all
the entrances to Prince Rupert in
good shape for navigators.
PROSPECTORS' UNITE
Association Formed at Copper City to
Aid in Development.
Strong' Body Organized with Inter.
ests of Community at
Heart
to answer some questions he had lo
raise.
With respect to a driver for the
machine, Aid. Smith moved that Mr.
Olbson be employed as driver on
probation for 60 days, after which
the question of permanent appointment would be taken up.
This carried.
The prospectors of the Copper
River district are enthusiastic over
the recent organization of the Cop
per River Prospectors Association,
says the Inland Colonist. The membership Is increasing surprisingly
fast owing to the fact that the members of every outfit that has arrived
there recently, promptly filed applications for membership, as soon
as the objects of the new association
were explained to them. The objects
are: A live publicity of the mineral
resources of the hills tributary to
Copper River, and co-operation in
work for good trails and other facilities for transporting supplies and
ore.
The' membership is now over
thirty, and only a small number of
the prospectors who make Copper
City their headquarters are yet
aware of the existence of Ihe organization. With the many incoming
prospectors who are expected to arrive In Copper City within the next
thirty days, it is believed that by
lune 1 the membership will not fall
under the 100 mark.
One of the first moves the association will consider at its next
meeting will be arrangements for
placing an exhibition in the "Made-
in-Canada" fair, which will be held
in Vancouver early in June. With
the number of prospectors at hand
who have remained at their camp;
during the winter and who are familiar with the whereabouts of
every promising prospect in the district, the association should oxperi-
ence no difficulty In collecting samples enough by the second week in
May lei make a very attractive exhibit.

The city council lasl evening
adopted a recommendation from the
streets committee based upon the
report of the superintendent of
works With respect to building a
temporary police station on the government reserve. The building is to
cost not more than $650 and will be
movable.
It was explained that to rent a!
building suitable for the purpose]
wolud cost $50 a month.
The report was adopted.
It was also decided to build a
lean-to to the corporation building

E. A. Weir, of Ontario and E. W.
White, of this province, are in the
city on their way into the Skeena
River district to make expert reports
upon the conditions prevailing from
the standpoint of the farming Industry. Both young men are undergraduates of the Ontario Agricultural College, which ranks among
the best of its kind in the world.
These young men who were referred to a few days ago in these
columns are being sent In by the
provincial government to gather as
much exact information as possible
for the department of agriculture in
Victoria, so that intending settlers
may have information that can be relied upon when they seek to learn
what his new country is like.
The two men will study the soil,
the plant growth, the climatic conditions and, in fact, will go as fully
as they e-an into all matters that
may affect the district from an agricultural standpoint. They will probably get away Monday, but are not
sure yet where they will first land.
It had been their intention to go
on to Hazelton and from there go
into the Kispiox and then into the
Bulkley, going through to Francois
Lake and on to Fort George, making
their way out by Ashcroft.
As the season is not very far advanced at eeazelion, they may alter
their plans a little and make, a landing at Kltsuiiikaluin or some of the
other valleys of ihe Skeena and investigate the soil and conditions
there. As often as llie-y can <i<> it
they will reporl back to Victoria.
The visii of these experts should
be- of Inestimable advantage. They
are going Into the country without
prejudice o i'any kiml to find eeut
what the country is i.esi adapted for
in Ihe- way of farming.
They will distribute sugar licet
seed for experimental purposes. Ii
is also believed tint there are vast
areas well adapted for fax growing.

1 GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC 1
TOWNSITE
M
Ka
ELLISON
The only Main Line Town-
site in British Columbia in
which the Grand Trunk
Pacific Railway Company
has announced its joint
ownership.
ELLISON
SEE THE OFFICIAL MAP.—The
first glance will show you that
ELLISON Is located at the junction
of the Skeena River and the Bulk-
iey Valley. The Grand Trunk
Pacific has announced that they are
joint owners in the townsite of Ellison. Now, my dear reader, you must
remember that up to date the Grand
Trunk Pacific has not announced
that it has any Interest in any other
main line towsite in British Columbia. Does that start you thinking?
o
STUDY THE MAP and you will
find Ellison is where the railway tracks leave navigation. That
fact is a very Important one for conservative investors to think over.
What is known as the Hazelton district covers a territory many miles
in extent in every direction radiating from the townsite of Ellison.
Mining machinery, ore shipments,
smelters, reduction plants and all
sorts of mining operations starting
up in thisl rich mineral region, must
necessarily have a metropolis, a
HUB, a headquarters. If any sane,
conservative man can figure out any
other spot except Ellison for the hub
of the great commerce of this district, his plan should be very Inter
esting to the Grand Trunk Pacific
officials. It does seem as though
these officials, after several years of
investigation and engineering,
would know just what they were doing when they put their official
stamp on Ellison.
o
STUDY THAT MAP.—I desire to
say to all parties who are talking townsites in the vicinity of Skeena River and the Bulkley Valley
that there will no doubt be several
small towns, just the same as one
always finds in a mining district.
There will be towns in the vicinity
of Ellison along branch railways,
probably towns at the ends of branch
lines made to serve the mines and
the collieries, but it will be history
repeating itself in regard to the
building up of every metropolis.
Ellison has every natural advantage,
has every earmark of being the future mercantile and financial center of the Skeena River mining district and the entrance to the Bulkley Valley.
o
STUDY THAT, MAP and you will
find that all of the mining
towns and railroad towns around
there just beginning to be talked
about will only be feeders to the
city and port of ELLISON. The
Grand Trunk Pacific has put its
official stamp on Ellison. Do you
believe the company will do as much
for townsites owned by individuals
as it will for one in' which its stockholders are joint owners? If you
do, don't buy any lots in Ellison. If
you desire to make a permanent investment, or merely to make a little
quick money, you must decide for
yourself right now. Do you propose
to follow the individual townsite
promoters or the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company.
o —
STUDY THAT MAP.—If you desire to put your money Into a
real estate promoter's townsite you
will have many, many opportunities
this summer. The average promoter
is full of hurrah and red fire. He
must enthuse investors of the mail
order class with his wares. ELLISON is in the Missouri class. Therefore, I am not telling any fairy
tales about it. I am making statements that can he readily verified.
o 1
STUDY THAT MAP.—If you
want to join that great army of
investors-at-long-range, then you
should put your money into promoters' townsites. If you want a perfectly safe and sound investment,
certain to bring you large profits,
then put your money where tlie
Grand Trunk Pacific, after years of
careful investigation, have put their
money.
o ■
STUDY THAT MAP.—It is not
likely the Grand Trunk Pacific
will have any other townsite in British Columbia for sale this year. The
officials of the company state that
the company is not interested in any
townsite in the Hazelton district
with the exception of ELLISON.
ELLISON is on the bank of the
Skeena at its confluence with
the Bulkley. You may change railway surveys; you may change the
location of towns along the line of
road, but you cannot change the
geography of the country through
which the railway passes. The head
of navigation necessarily means an
important townsite. Ellison will
not only be at the head of navigation but the center of a mining district wonderful in its resources that
is now being opened up, and for
which Ellison will be the shipping
point both by rail and water. The
fact that trains may change engines
up or down the line or in tlie suburbs of the town of Ellison does not
amount to shucks in building up a
town when such places are compared with a town located where
rails and navigation meet.
STUDY THAT MAP.—You will
find on the official plan of Ellison that a large part of the town-
site has been reserved for future
sales, the same as the company has
done with certain sections of Prince
Rupert townsite. There are, therefore, at this time, comparatively
few lots on the market. You must
hurry if you want one.
STUDY THAT MAP.—ROGERS'
ADDITION to Ellison, only a
small parcel of land, lies within
eight blocks of the site of the railway station. Lots in this are being
offered. I am advising my clients
to buy Rogers Addition lots at $150
for inside lots and v^50 for corners.
Terms—10 per cent discount for
cash, or 10 per cent down and the
balance on easy terms; no interest.

SIR EDWARD GREY
Well
Known Politician's Style When
Addressing the House of
Commons.
Exchange Deals with His Manner of
Dealing with the Subject
of Debate
The question of international arbitration has been forced to the
front in Britain owing to the remarkable and entirely unexpected
speech of Sir Edward Grey, imperial
foreign secretary, delivered in the
Commons during the discussion on
the navy estimates. The evening's
debate had been of usual humdrum
type. The house was almost empty
when Sir Edward Grey rose from
the treasury benches and began very
quietly to defend the government.
Then, with that mysterious Intuition which seems to come to the
Commons when great events are being foreshadowed, the whisper went
round that something was happening. Instantly almost, the corridors,
the smoking rooms and the lounges
were emptied and members came
crowding lu silently, expectantly,
and were soon under the spell of
that quiet, earnest voice and aesthetic face, says an exchange.
Forgotten were the veto bill, the
Dreadnoughts, the super-tax, home
rule, the budget and all the other issues which divide, and at times subdivide, British political parties. Forgotten was the strife of the earlier
evening, and eagerly the awakening
crowd of members listened to the
Empire's foreign secretary announce
that negotiations were progressing,
on the initiative of President Taft,
for a treaty of arbitration between
Great Britain and the United States.
So quietly and so unexpectedly
had come Sir Edward Grey's momentous statement that even the gallery
reporters, ever on the alert for
"good copy," were somewhat late in
realizing the vast significance of the
speech, so that It was not until the
afternoon of the next day when the
evening papers appeared that the
British people realized the import of
the remarkable address delivered at
a late hour of an ordinary session.
It is so gratifying to note tnat before the popular voice could be
heard in support of the proposals
for an arbitration treaty between
Britain and the United States the
leader of the Opposition in the Imperial Parliament announced himself as heartily endorsing the idea
of such a treaty as outlined by Sir
Edward Grey.
The whole tone of the speech has
had a wonderful effect in Britain.
The sentences which seem to have
touched the heart of the nation are
these:
"Twice within the last twelve
months the president of the United
States of America has sketched out
a step in advance in arbitration more
momentous than any practical
statesman in his position has ventured to say before. President Taft
has recently made the statement that
he does not see personally any reason why matters of national honor
should not be referred to a court of
arbitration. He has also expressed
the opinion that if the United States
could put through a positive agreement with some other nation to
abide by the adjudication of an international arbitral court in every
issue which could not be settled by
negotiation, no matter what the issue involved, a long step forward
would be taken. Supposing (wo of
the greatest nations of the world
were to make it clear to the whole
world by such an agreement that in
no circumstances were they going lo
war again, I venture to say that the
effect on the world at large would be
bound to have beneficent consequences. Armies antl navies would
remain, no doubt, but they would remain then, not in rivalry, but as the
police of the world."
As soon as the news of the speech
spread through Great Britain, the
churches, all the moral and social
reform organizations, the trade unions and the leaders of the great
friendly societies in one accord
united in their declarations of support for the movement, and for the
past two Sundays, and again tomorrow, all Christian churches held, or
will hold special "peace services."
It is curious, but nevertheless
true, that this man, who seldom
speaks In the House of Commons,
who is even seldom in the chamber,
except on a division, is yet the man
to whom the Liberal party might
look for their next leader in case of
Mr. Asquith's retirement. He will
enter the house on special evenings,
walking quickly and with a little
jerk in his step to his seat. There
always seems to be a far-off look in
his eye. Perhaps it is his frequent
solitary rambles, his love of fishing,
for he can often be found by "a
troutin' burn," or climbing a lone
hillside of the Cheviots or the Highlands, thus communing with nature,
which gives the air of deep reflection always noticed on his face.
Left fatherless when quite young
he was brought up by his grandfather, Sir George Grey, and thus he
had ever set before him the example of a man who was careful in all
matters and ever ready to listen to
the views of those who might differ
from him.
Sir Edward, too, has had a long
and varied diplomatic and political
training, beginning under Lord
Cromer at a conference on Egyptian
affairs, next acting as secretary to
Mr. Childars, then chancellor of the
exchequer, and then entering Parliament six months before Mr. Asquith.
Sir Edward was in the days of the
Tory regime a Liberal Imperialist,
and when he entered the cabinet of
Sir Henry Canipbell-Hiiiiiierman It
•was to the grievous disappointnient
of Iho Unionists in general and of
Lord Cromer in particular. Alter
the Boer war he and Mr, Lloyd-
George were often together, and it is
said these conferences had much to
do with the union of the Liberal
party and the promptitude with
which their cabinet was formed, as
well as for its advanced programme.
in his speech on arbitration Sir
Edward was careful to point out that
arbitration did not mean an offensive and defensive alliance which
might be Interpreted as being
formed against some particular nation. The gain, he pointed out,
would be immense, and the example
of an arbitration treaty between
Britain and the United States would
have a far-reaching influence In inducing other natios to agree to the
same sae method of settling disputes.
CONSERVATIVES ORGANIZE
Kitselas .Association Elects Officers
for tlie Year at Enthusiastic
Gathering
The organization meeting of the
Kitselas Conservative Association
was attended by an enthusiastic
gathering of Conservatives, and although it was the time of year when
many of the people of the Interior
are in Prince Rupert or have gone
soutli to attend to business matters
before the opening up of river navigation, thus draining from each
town a majority of the voting
strength, the local Association started out with a membership of 24.
More than that number of local
voters were absent, either working
on the mai Iteams, or in Prince Rupert awaiting the departure of the
first river steamer for Kitselas, and
who will be placing their names on
the mmbership roll at the next regular meeting.
The veteran Conservative of the
district and former member, C. W.
D. Clifford, was selected temporary
chairman of the meeting, and later
unanimously elected first president
of the association.
The only work transacted waB
confined lo the organization of the
association, and after a short address by the chairman, in which he
set forth the objects of the proposed
association and reasons for qrganiz-
ing it ,he called for election of officers. The following officers were
unanimously elected:
Honorary presidents—Hon. Richard McBride and Wm. Manson,
M. P. P.; president, C. W. D. Clifford; vice presidents—Ceo. A. Kerr
and J. W. Paterson; secretary-treasurer, Dr. S. Traynor.
The following executive committee was appointed by the president:
F. M. Whitlow, Arthur Gill, Frank
Jones, R. Lowery, Ed KIbby, H.
Daniels and Wilson McNeil.
"Has your husband any hobbies.
Mrs. Jumptuppe?" said the hostess
to the afternoon caller.
"No, I carn't say as he 'as," Mrs
Jumptuppe, who was one of the old
school.
"Oh, how nice!" gushed the oth
er. "Now, mine, you know, is a
terrible nuisance in that way. He's
a downright bibliophile. When he's
at home there's no getting a word
out of him; he's simply wrapped up
in his bookshelves."
"I say, John," said Mrs. Jumptuppe to her spouse later in the evening, "that there old Tomkins is a
nice old cup o' tea. 'Is wife told
me today that he's a regular bibulous old file and that he comes
'ome fairly speechless and goes to
sleep on the bookshelf. Shockln',
ain't it? An' 'im a man of 'is eddi-
cation, too. Wotever's the world a-
comin' to?"
"We get some sad cases," said
the attendant at the Balmy Lunatic
Asylum to the interested visitor,
and opened the door of the first
cell.
Inside was a man sitting on a
three-legged stool, gazing vacantly
at the wall.
"His is an unhappy story," said
the attendant. "He was in love with
a girl, but she married another man,
and he lost his reason from grief."
They stole out softly closing the
door behind them, and proceeded to
the next inmate.
This cell was thickly padded, and
the man within was stark, staring
mad.
"Who is this?" Inquired the visitor.
"This?" repeated the attendant.
"This is the other man!"
A boy was one day telling his companions about a great dinner at
which lie was present. He told them
about Ihe lovely things he had to
eat.
"An' 1 suppose ye had napkins,"
said a bystander.
"We had, of course," lie answered,
"the finest you ever tasted."

INDIANS' CLAIM
We confess to being unable to understand the position which Sir Wilfrid Laurier is reported to have
taken in his reply to the delegation
that waited upon him in respect to
the so-called Indian title to the "unsurrendered" lands of this province,
says the Victoria Colonist editorially.
It seems very clear that he thinks
the provincial government ought to
consent to an adjudication by the
court upon the alleged claim, and
he appears to have promised to do
what is possible to compel a submission of the case to the court, although he is very careful to avoid
any expression of opinion as to the
validity of the claim. If he appre
ciates the gravity of the contention
of the Indians he would surely see
that the province cannot consent to
its submission to any court. It is a
monstrous claim, and one that, if it
were conceded to be valid, would be
tantamount to a conquest of British
Columbia by the Indians. The so-
called "unsurrendered" lands include practically the whole province.
For more than half a century the
government of British Columbia has
held the vacant lands in right of the
crown; its acts were as much sovereign as if performed by the Britisii
government itself, and we are now
asked to accept that this right may
have been a usurpation. There are
some things about which the legislative autnority of a province cannot
consult the courts and in regard to
which it might properly refuse to
recognize any jurisdiction existing in
any court, and this Indian claim is
one of them.
Let us follow the case to its legitimate conclusion. If the Indians are
yet entitled to all the "unsurrendered" lands of the province, that is,
to all that they did not specifically
abandon to white people, it follows
that there are not and never have
been any crown lands in Britisii Columbia, and hence that every crown
grant, milling licence, right of way
for railways, hitherto supposed to
have been crown lands, must be absolutely void. If this is not what is
implied in the claim, we would like
to know what are its limits. We
have been told that the Indians
claim something les than this, but
however their "case" may be stated,
it is in derogation of the paramount
right of the crown, as represented
by the provincial government, in
British Columbia. It is an intolerable claim and Sir Wilfrid Laurier
would, wa submit, have been much
better advised If he had refused to
recognize that there is anything debatable about so preposterous a
proposition as is put forward on behalf of the Indians, lie will not
weaken the determination of the
provincial authorities and the only
effect of his course will be to create
disaffection among tlie Indians.
geographical studies to xe extended
uuring his high school course. There
is also the study of physical geag-
raphy, than which there is nothing
more interesting for the youth of an
inquiring mind and observant nature.
The place of the study of constitutional history in the public school
curriculum was also discussed at
this convention, and the remarkable
view was put forward, that the boys
and girls of twelve, thirteen or
fourteen years of age were not capable of understanding the constitutional history of Great Britain and
Canada, a knowledge of which was
required at present for entrance to
the high school. We are told that
the matter was dwelt upon by "principals who had prepared pupils for
entrance examinations, and it was
suggested that questions of constitutional history should be excluded
from the entrance papers."
There is nothing so difficult in
the study of general outlines of the
constitutional history of our country
tnat either the examination questions should be so abstruse or the
teaching of the subject so defective
that the pupils for entrance honors
should be placed under a handicap
The knowledge that is important is
the form of government in province
in dominion and in empire. Consti-
tutioal history, of course, includes
not only a study of the present parliamentary system of Canada and
Great Britain, but a survey of the
historical events and the long processes of development that have given
English speaking nations their democratic form of government. This
may require for a proper understanding a matured mind and may
properly belong to the high school
period. But should not the common
school pupil possess an intelligent
appreciation of the Canadian and
British forms of government, and
can this not be imparted without going too deeply into the questions
that concernd the Fathers of Confederation? Sometimes it is questioned if the high school entrance
graduates have really any intelligent
conception of the framework of our
parliamentary system.

At the Provincial Teachers' Convention, held in Victoria during tlie

NELSON—An extraordinary discovery of a valuable silver nugget
in a hotel gardn, through apparently
supernatural agency, is reported
from Ainsworth. For some nights
past at the same hour C. F. Olson,
pioneer hotel man of Ainsworth,
had been awakened by a voice which
seemed to say, "Dig deeper, dig
deeper!" So persistent was the announcement that he moved his sleeping place to his office across the
street. Next night he was again
awakened by the mysterious voice.
He arose to investigate, opened the
door and looked out. In the moonbeams he saw the figure of an old
miner busily digging in his garden,
wit ha pile of silver bullion lying beside him. Mr. Olson shouted oul.
The figure and nuggets instantly
disappeared. Next day, while working in his garden at the place where
the figure had disappeared, he uncovered a lump of silver weighing
225 ounces and worth $120. Mr.
Olson is convinced that he will find
more silver in the same place and
will thoroughly explore the locality.
CONDEMNING BUILDINGS

were a menace to the health of the

AMONG THE MINES
FIFTY YEARS A MINER
Notable Anniversary in Career of John
Cummings Commemorated by
Premier McBride.
John Cummins, of Cariboo, Has Had
a Free Miner's Licence for
Fifty Years
A graceful illustration of the invariable thoughtfulness and kindness of
heart of Premier McBride was furnished just before the departure of
the Prime Minister from his capital
when in his capacity of minister of
mines he had the pleasure of forwarding to Mr. John Cummins, of the
150-Mile House, the fiftieth renewal
of his licence as a free miner of
British Columbia.
Mr. Cummins was one of the old
brigade, through whose indomitable
courage and strenuous endeavors the
golden resources of old Cariboo were
made known to the world, now half a
century ago. He was one of the
original workers of the world-famous
Cariboo Cameron's claim, and ever
since has spent at least a portion of
each year prospecting the Cariboo
mountains for precious metals.
During a visit to the Upper Country last year, the premier had the
pleasure of meeting his old friend of
the hills ,when Mr. Cummings was
taking out his forty-ninth renewal of
the licence. This year Hon. Mr. McBride anticipated the usual application of the veteran of the hills and
sent the licence direct from departmental headquarters, accompanying
it with a graceful personal letter in
which good wishes were expressed In
felicitous terms.
The free miners' licence as it exists in Britisii Columbia, is a document carrying very extensive and
special privileges and wide authority.
Armed therewith, one may even invade the sanctity of private property
or of declared reserves in quest of
precious metal. Last year his late
Majesty King Edward VII not only
was the holder of a "ticket," accrediting him a free miner of British Columbia, but the fee therefor prescribed by law was charged in the
usual course.
This unusual condition arosa
through the transfer to the Dominion
government for park purposes of the
famous Deutschmann Caves, or Caves
of Cheops not far from Revelstoke,
which had been originally taken possession of by the discoverer under his
free miner's licence.
When the formalities of transfer to
the Dominion government obtained
consideration, it was found that serious obstacles presented themselves
in the imperative dictates of the mining law, and it was finally decided to
complete the transfer under that law,
the caves being regularly located and
subsequently Crown granted to His
Majesty the King as represented by
his government in Canada, and the
fees and costs attaching being subsequently rebated by the provincial authorities.

A regiment of soldiers were at
camp and a young Scottish recruit
was put on sentry outside the general's tent. In the morning the
general rose, looked out of his tent
and said to the young man In a
stern and loud voice:
"Who are you?"
The young man turned round
smartly and said:
"Fine! oo's yourself?"
TUNNEL AT STEWART
Mining Company Proposes to Cut
Way Through to Take Out
the Ore
Announcement was made at the
annual meeting of the Stewart Mining and Development Company just
held, at which there was a large attendance of shareholders, that a tunnel was to be driven a distance of a
thousand feet from No. 4 ledge
through to Bear River to permit of
the ore from the mine being dumped
direct into the cars of the Canadian
Northeastern Railroad built from
Stewart. Arrangements will be com
menced to ship shortly. The directors
reported as follows: "The tunneling
done during the year on the four
ledges, amounts to about 1,000 feet.
On the No. 4 ledge, where the most
work has been done, an ore chute of
great promise was encountered. Considerable work has been done and a
winze sunk to the depth of 50 feet
on this ore. The ledge widened with
depth. Careful assays, taken all the
way down, give an average value of
$20 per ton in gold, silver and lead.
This is highly satisfactory, but, owing to the presence of water, we decided to postpone work on the winze
for the present and continue drifting
in the face of the tunnel on this
ledge, which is one of the best on
our property. At the time of writing we are advised by the foreman at
the mine that the work on this drift
continues to expose good ore.
"The time is drawing near when
this property will have to undergo
the change from a prospect under
development to a shipping mine, the
bodies of ore found in the No. 4 ledge
being now considered sufficient to
warrant this. The most feasible plan
for working the property as a mine,
will .be by a tunnel from the Bear
River side. This will obviate the
necessity of constructing an aerial
tramway, and will give us approxl
mately 700 feet depth vertically below our present workings, and drain
the mine for practically all time. The
mouth of the tunnel will only be a
short distance from the line of the
Canadian Northeastern Railway,
which will be in operation before the
end of June. At a rough estimate
the tunnel will be about 1,000 feet
in length, and with a spur from the
main line to the mouth of the tunnel
it will facilitate the handling of ore
at the very lowest possible cost."
Mr. R. M. Stewart, vice-president
explained the development and proposed work, including the steps to be
taken to install necessary facilities
for shipping, the most efficient method being to construct a tunnel at a
vertical depth of 700 feet, which,
owing to the dip will give 1,000 feet
of stoping ground below the present
workings. This tunnel can be constructed at low cost, as all work can
be carried on from a base on level
ground close to the railroad. In
working the mine this tunnel will
offer a cheap way of handling the ore
as the tunnel will be driven with a
slight raise for drainaoge and an up-
chute at a point beneath the present
workings will be driven for ventilation. Thus the ore can be stoped,
and the expense of hoisting machinery saved. It is expected this tunnel
will cost in the neighborhood of
$20,000. It Is the intention of the
directors to have a thorough report
on the mine by an eminent mining
engineer, aud a survey of the tunnel
made shortly, and as soon as this is
done work on the proposed tunnel
will commence.

Tliis Season
W. J. Goodwin, the Kltsumkalum
rancher, looks forward to big doings
in Kltsumkalum this summer, He
believes that within another two
months a flourishing townsite will
be placed on the market, which will
shortly become the gateway to the
rich Kltsumkalum valley and the future base for the railway that must
within the next few years be constructed from the Grand Trunk Pacific on the Skeena, up the Kltsumkalum River to the Naas River, says
the Inland Colonist.
He believes that by the extensive
road and trail construction work
that will be carried on this summer
throughout the Kltsumkalum valley
by the provincial government, the
Kltsumkalum Valley will be one of
the best advertised valleys along the
Skeena River before the summer is
over and that several hundred more
ranchers will be coming in. As
these roads and trails will connect
with Alice Arm, Stewart and even
with Hazelton, at the head of the
Skeena River navigation, and the
base for all of tnem being Kltsumkalum, he believes that the Kltsumkalum townsite will become one of
importance on the Skeena Inside of
another twelve months.

plant a large acreage this spring in

During the past few months the
large shops have made a great display of tailored costumes in medium
weight materials and recently they
have added many charming models
of still 'lghter tailored and semi-
tailored costumes of silk, for spring
wear. It is always well, if possible,
to have two tailored suits for the
summer season; one a practical
plainly tailored suit for rough wear,
outing purposes, etc., the other of a
dressier character. An attempt to
combine the two is seldom successful,
but many women now do away with
the dressy tailored coat and skirt and
blouse or three-piece costume, substituting for it a smart one-piece short
frock to be worn with a separate
coat.
Pretty Models
Some extremely pretty models are
now appearing in the exclusive shops.
They are in changeable taffetas with
etamine or chiffon in combination
and while there has for some time
past been a prejudice against taffeta
the most autocratic makers are certainly taking It up. The texture and
finish of the newest taffetas are really lovely and the colorings, particularly the changeable effects, are
beautiful.
Skirt and short smart coat costumes of the changeable taffeta, the
skirt mounting high and jointed to
a dainty bodice of changeable etamine in the same color as the taffeta
mounted over white and touched
with embroidery in the two colors,
are built up on varying lines of different designers and in beautiful colorings. Very dark blue and a rather
vivid green are good In this changeable silk. A soft brown combines well
with an old rose, a rose with violet,
a gray with rose or deep golden yellow. Another idea developed successfully in changeable colorings is
the frock of changeable etamine
trimmed in soft ruches of fringed
changeable taffeta and with a little
coat of the taffeta to mach.
Ruches in Favor
It may be remarked here that
ruches are evidently finding considerable favor and one sees them trimming all kinds of frocks. One of the
most artistic and charming models
shown in one of the shops was an exquisite fine fancy net in the yellowed
tone of old lace, made very simple
with a beautiful fichu of old lace
and fringed ruches of silk in a soft
yellowish brown for the only trimming.
Grenadine and Silk
Coat and frock costumes of grenadine or etamine and silk, with loose
unlined coats in the semi-tansparent
material trimmed in silk, are shown
in some of the most attractive designs and there are serviceable little
costumes in the plain charmeuse, me-
teore and other satin surface silks,
the foulards, surah ,silk serges, etc.
Linen Coats
Good linen coat and skirt models
admirable in design, cut and finish
may be bought at prices surprisingly
reasonable even at very smart and
exclusive shops. Almost every ultra-
modish shop has some specialties in
this line and in the simple one-piece
linen and other tub frocks, which
they have made up to meet the demand for such things among their
valued patrons and to keep these
patrons from resorting to the big
shops; and there are specialty shops
where chic models of this kind are
sold in great variety and at remarkably low prices.
The Harem Skirt
For some reason or other the designers of women's fashions are
making frantic efforts to popularize
the trouser or harem skirt. In Paris
the women seem to have taken a
fancy to the new style and they seem
determined to give it at least a trial.
The prominent mckers of women's
dresses are turning out large numbers of these skirts and, realizing
that some redeeming feature must be
introduced in these skirts to make
them attractive, the designers have
concentrated their efforts upon beauty of material, soft and supple, artistically designed, and showing the
most exquisite workmanship. In spite
o fthese efforts arid the prediction of
a prominent designer that trouser
skirts would be worn generally a
year hence, the sensible, refined women of good taste Is not showing
any inclination to adopt .he trouser
skirt.
Bonnets in Favor
Bonnets are worn a great deal at
the present time and prominent milliners say that hey will be in fashion
throughout the summer and probably
in the fall. The type of bonnet one
sees most often on the street is built
up in rough straw, has a round
crown quite covering the head down
to the neck in the back and a slightly
projecting poke brim and is trimmed
with a big bow set low in the back
and perhaps some little prim nosegay
or single flower posed near the edge
of the brim In front. The brim may
be lined with contrastin gcolor or
with self color.
But it must not be imagined that
all bonnets are built upon the same
simple and conservative lines. Some
of them are extremely audacious and
many of them, unfortunately unspeakably vulgar and ugly. Even the
conservative and really pretty models
are not suitable for all women. They
are becoming and even attractive on
a young and slender girl, but look
perfectly hideous and absurd upon
short and fat women who have
passed the period of their youth.
Ther are strings upon a good many
of the bonnets, though they are the
exception rather than the rule nad
they are usually tied well at tne lefi
side. Occasionally, however, one
sees strings knoted on the outside
and fall in loops and ends down over
the shoulder without passing undei
the chin at all.
Ribbon Fashions
The ribbons of the season are so
beautiful that the milliners have not
been able to resist using them much
upon both hats and bonnets, and the
wide taffeta backed velcet, often with
the silk facing in color contrasting
with the velvet, makes smart bows,
as do the exquisite brocades and
printed designs and one-tone color.
Ings.
Sometimes a ladder of trim little
velvet bows is set up the back of the
bonnet in place of a big bow and
there are fascinating little models
whose trimming is all bunched at one
side instead of being posed on front
or back.
Velvet is much used in the spring
millinery. Straw hats have velvet
faced brims or velvet crowns with
straw brims. White straw shapes
are faced with black or dark blue velvet. Black velvet-might be said to
be the characteristic touch of the
season.

SPORTS
BRADFORD'S VICTORY
Before 70,000 people at Manchester, Bradford City won the replayed
final for the English Football Association cup from Newcastle United
by 1 goal to 0.
Bradford attacked strongly and
scored their goal in the first half as
the result of a lightning drive by
Ribins from the half-way line
Thompson secured the ball, centered to Devlne, and though Lawrence ought to have cleared, Spiers
dashed it into the net. In the second half Bradford played a stone
wall defence.
ATHLETES FOR LONDON
As the result of the recent visit to
Ottawa of Frank Nelson, governor
o fthe Amateur Athletic Union of
Canada, it is practically certain that
the Dominion will be represented at
the Festival of Empire sports, which
are to be held at Crystal Palace,
London, England, from June 24 to
July 1, inclusive.
'y Mr, Nelson Secured an Interview
with Hon. Sydney Fisher, who has
charge of the Canadian representation at the coronation festivities and
received every assurance of encour-
agemnt. Mr. Nelson applied for a
grant to defray the expenses of a
team, composed of eight of the leading athletes of the country. Mr.
Fisher has promised to give the
A. A. U. a reply in the course of a
few days, but in view of the fact
that the Australian and South African governments have sanctioned
the sending of teams to the sports,
which are open only to athletes of
the British Empire, it is altogether
likely that Mr. Nelson's mission will
prove productive of the desired results.
Lord Desborough, who was perhaps the leading spirit in the Olympic games in London three years
ago, is now the chairman of the
committee which will have charge
of the Festival of Empire sports.
Crystal Palace has been selected as
the scene of the all British meet,
and it is suggested that Canada,
Africa and Australia each send a
team of eight. Eight will also be
chosen from Great Britain and Ireland.
The programme includes the one-
hundred, two twenty, eight eighty
and one mile runs, as well as the
two twenty hurdle event. In the
swimming there will be one hundred
yards and one mile races, and in
addition there will be wrestling,
middle weights, catch-as-catch-can
style, and boxing, heavy weight.
Tennis was first given a place on the
programme, but recently the A. A. U.
was notified to the effect that the
tennis has been eliminated.
Frank Lukeman, it is safe to
guess, will be one member of the
team. Lukeman could compete In
the one hundred, the two hundred
and again in the hurdles. Gordon
Johnstone, the Ottawa swimmer,
who holds the Canadian championship for one hundred yards, is also
a likelihood. For the mile swim
there are several probabilities.
Charlie Gage, the 'Varsity football
player, who holds the Canadian
championship, should be the choice
for the heavy weight boxing, and for
the wrestling there is one particularly good man at Vancouver. Jack
Tait for the mile, looks a certainty,
and for the half, Arnold Knox, of
Toronto, may be the choice. Hal-
baus for the Porter runs is also a
possibility, Winnipeg will also be
represented if it. can supply a man
good enough. Bobby Kerr may also
go, as It is the intention of the
A. A. U. not to compete in too many
events. Lukeman will remain over
and compete for the British one
hundred and two twenty yard chaw-
pionshtps, which were held two
years ago by Bobby Kerr.
BATTING STYLES
youngster and eager to train the
twig in the direction that the tree
should grow. "I hit 'em where they
ain't."
That is the secret of batting—
hitting them where they ain't. Sometimes things will break bad for a
good batter and it will seem as if
he can't get a hit. He will meet the
ball squarely time after time only to
find it laying a course for the outstretched hands of some fielder.
Cobb went to bat 17 times in succession in the season of 1908 without making a hit. He was as nearly
crazy as any ball player ever becomes and stays out of a retreat. He
would spend his mornings while he
was in the baiting doldrums walking about the streets looking for a
load of empty barrels to change his
luck. The day he made his first hit
after the arid spell he had a lead
penny in his pocket that a blind negro had given him. He has carried
the piece from that day to this in
the pocket of his uniform. Nothing
upsets a good batter so much as
missing his regular diet of base hits.
Probably the most momentous
pinch hit ever made and the one
which had the most far-reaching effects was the single pushed into
centre field by Bridwell, of the New
York Nationals, on September 23,
1908, in a game between the Giants
and Cubs. If Bridwell's supporting
cast had done their share and acted
thier parts correctly that hit would
have won a pennant, as things afterward turned out. But why mention
Merkle agan and that regrettable
incident about second base, with
which bag his name will be associated as long as there is baseball?
Bridwell came to the bat in the
ninth inning with one run needed
to -win a game of ball. Two were
out. He made the hit, and then, on
a "fluke," the game was lost.
WOMAN'S RECORD
There are two types of successful
batters—the scientific man and the
natural hitter, the man born a baseball genius. "Willie" Keeler, who
appeared last with the Giants was
practically the inventor of scientific
batting. He was the firsi man to
chocke his' bat up short so that he
could bunt or bit it out without
shifting the position of his hands.
He was in a class by himself when
it came to out-guessing a third baseman.
Diminutive physically, he stayed
up among that exclusive set, the
three hundred hitters, for seasons
on end, simply by his baseball Intel-
lce-t, expressed through his bat. A
young player asked him once how
he managed to make so many hits.
"That's easy," answered Willie,
always glad to give advice to the
Motoring has not yet been taken
up by Edmonton women, as in the
larger American cities, where large
numbers of little electrics and other
smart runabouts are owned and
driven exclusively by ladies. To
philosophize on the matter, one
might advance the opinion that the
reason of this is that in Edmonton
women are more domestic in their
tastes than their sisters across the
border. They are probably as fond
of healthy amusement as any women
in the world, and there is no doubt
that they "simply adore" automobiles. Neither can it be questioned
that the wives, sweethearts and
daughters of this town have had a
great deal to do with boosting the
motor car industry here. But Edmonton women apparently would
rather not motor alone, or merely
for show purposes. They like the big
car, which will accommodate the
family or a jolly party of pleasure
takers.
The lady here who could afford a
car of her own, in addition to her
husband's, either foregoes that luxury or employes a chauffeur to take
her and her friends about. It is a
rare thing to see, as you will see in
Buffalo or Cleveland or Detroit, ladies out shopping or calling alone In
their own small runabouts.
But in Edmonton the number of
women who can drive autos is increasing rapidly. A year or so ago
people would turn to watch a woman
driver. Now the sight is ordinary
enough. And—who knows?—the
fad for ladies' own cars may come—-
it may come soon. And of all fads it
is one of the most healthgiving and
invigorating.
The The most famous Canadian
woman driver, by the way, is Mrs.
K. R. Otis, of Montreal. She has
been an expert for years, and has to
her credit speed and endurance records, which many a man might envy.
She was born in Canada, and recently retured to this country, but most
of her records were made while she
was a resident of the United States.
Three years ago she lowered the road
record from Buffalo to Cleveland,
and Barney Oldfield has tried unsuccessfully to beat it. In the same
year she won the hill-climbing championship of Cuyahoga county, in
Ohio, in competition with a large
number of experts with high-power,
cars. Last summer she successfully
defended the cup won on that occasion. Other victories to her credit
are: A Cleveland to Toledo record,
which still stands; a mid-winter record from New York to Boston, and
the highest average of over thirty
cars in a relay race from Pittsburg
to Upper Sandusky, Ohio, Mrs. Otis
driving a double relay over this distance, which is 240 miles.
As to the general question of
women's skill and good sense in the
management of automobiles, it is in-
terestin gto note that, in the opinion
of close observers, ladies, as a rule,
are more careful drivers than men.

THE DUAL LANGUAGE
Former Resident of Sooth Africa Expresses His Views Respecting
Skeena Valley.
He Thinks English Should Have
Been Made tlie Official
Tongue
That the official recognition of
the dual language in British South
Africa will retard the harmonious
progress of that colony Is the opinion of Mr. H. E. H. Greene, now a
resident of Vancouver, who was secretary to the Rhodesia chamber of
mines for several years, during the
most exciting period of the country's
development.
"It would have been very easy,"
said Mr. Greene, "to have proclaimed
English the official language at the
time of the peace settlement. Then,
in fifteen or twenty years, the racial
feeling would have died down and
the best interests of the country and
the empire would have been served.
As things are at present the Transvaal is more thoroughly Dutch than
it was before the war."
Speaking of comparative conditions," here and in South Africa,
Mr. Greene said that it was not possible to compare the two owing to
the fundamental differences. He
looked for better times in South
Africa in later years and expressed
confidence in the future of Western
Canada.
During his term as secretary to
the Rhodesia chamber of mines, Mr.
Greene became personally acquainted with the late Cecil Rhodes and
had a rare opportunity to see behind
the scenes. Dr. Jameson, now Sir
Lander Starr Jameson, was Mr.
Greene's family physician and a personal friend of the latter before,
during and after the famous raid.
Mr. Greene has in his possession
some most Interesting documents
bearing on the preparations for the
Jameson action.
"After the raid," he recounted
"three men came to my office to
make a search for papers or arms,
on suspicion. 1 told them straight
that they needn't expect to find anything of that nature lying around
where they could find it. They
went away empty-handed for which
I was rather pleased, seeing that 1
had four rifles stowed away in the
chimney. Had they found them I
should witnout doubt been Imprisoned."
Referring to Cecil Rhodes, Mr.
Greene described him as a most
kindly, unselfish man. He cared
little about his personal appearance
and was most persistent aud dogged
in following out an idea. He was
also the author of scores of philanthropies of which the world never
knew.
POPULATION FIGURES
GRAND TRUNK DEPOT
The new home of the Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway at Winnipeg,
known as the union station, has
been completed and the head offices
of the company have been moved
into the building. The new terminals and station have been constructed to take care of the rapid
increase of the importance of Winnipeg as a traffic centre, and the
structure is a credit to the western
metropolis. The building has a
frontage on Main street of 352 feet
and a depth of 140 feet, and covers
a ground area of approximately 50,-
000 square feet. It comprises basement and four storeys surmounted
by a dome 90 feet in diameter and
100 feet above the street level.
The new depot forms a part of an
extensive subject involving a system
to trackage and buildings which will
provide one of the best equipped
terminals in the world. The main
floor of the building has a large circular lobby in the centre under the
dome, with waiting rooms, restaurant and lunch room on one side,
the ticket offices and baggage rooms
being placed on the opposite side.
It communicates through the rear
by a subway and stairways to wide
platforms between the eight through
tracks, which have a capacity for
200 cars at a level of ten feet above
the level of the main floor. The
main lobby is entirely unobstructed
by columns or seams of any kind,
and is exceptionally well lighted
on all four sides by large arch windows. In the basement there is a
waiting room with an area of 10,000
square feet, besides excellent accommodation for immigrants. The
second, third and fourth floors will
be devoted to office purposes. Ultimately it is planned to add four
more storeys to provide a total of
200,000 square feet of office room.
European Countries Show an In.
crease—Some of tlie Showings of Large Cities
A British blue book has been issued givin gvital statistics for the
principal foreign countries for the
ten years ending 1909. The figures
relating to population ar'e particularly interesting. They show the
following total populations of the
countries named, in 1909:
Germany 63,879,000
France 39,276,000
Italy 34,270,000
Spain 19,945,000
Belgium I . 7,452,000
Netherlands 5,911,000
Portugal 5,340,000
Switzerland 3,584,000
Sweden 6,476,000
Denmark.. .' 2,692,000
Norway 2,370,000
Austria-Hungary (1908) .49,163,000
Russia (1908) 157,079,000
United Kingdom (June
30, 1909) 45,006,000
For some of the countries outside
Europe, the following figures are
given:
United States 88,566,000
Japan 49,905,000
Argentina 5,884,000
World's Great Cities
The population of the world's
great cities show some interesting
comparisons with London, the figure for which at the last census
(1901) was over 6,500,000:
New York (1900) 3,437,000
Paris (1906) 2,763,000
Toklo (1908) 2,186,000
Berlin (1905) 2,040,000
Chicago (1900) 1,699,000
Vienna (1900) 1,675,000
Philadelphia (1900) ....1,294,000
St. Petersburg (1897) ...1,265,000
Osaka (1908) 1,227,000
Moscow (1897) 1,039,000
Buenos Ayres (1905) ...1,026,000
Perhaps one of the most interesting features is a comparison ot
the respective growth of populations
In the ten years 1898 to 1908,
which works out as follows:
Increase in 10 years.
United Kingdom 4,166,000
Germany 8,574,000
France 522,000
Russia 28,614,.000

The trade up the Skeena continues
as strong as ever. There is a constant demand for additional facilities
to meet the demands and this it is

they navigated waters that were outside the river which is not provided
for. This was felt to be merely a
technical difficulty and the Board of
Trade has taken it up with the department at Ottawa. In the meantime Mr. McDonald, the collector of
customs, is waiving the point and
granting the clearance papers.

has been a very good one at Kitselas.
There has been steady business and
the spring promises exceedingly
well. The residents are preparing
for a considerable influx of settlers.
Of the agricultural posibilities of
the Skeena, Mr. Clifford Is very optimistic. Last year he grew immense cucumbers in the open and
also ripened tomatoes. There will
be no difficulty, he says, In growing
all kinds of vegetables and fruits.
The long days bring these to the
highest stages of development and
produce a splendid type of vegetable.

to the growth and Influence of Alberta, the court was called the synod
of Britisii Columbia, and Alberta. It
continued so until 1907, when it was
divided and each province had ItB
own synod.
Tlie present clerk, Rev. J. A. Logan, has been continually in office
since 1895 and has been at every
meeting since the origin of the
synod.
The present Synod of British Columbia comprises a total membership of 120 ordained ministers and
