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. WILL ADJOURN HOUSE UNTIL MIDSUMMER Opposition Wins out at Ottawa in Opposing the Rushing of the Reciprocity Agreement Through Parliament—Mutually Settled to Rise Until Middle of July. 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. ACCEPT FIRE FIGHTER City Council Agree to Take Over Auto From the Manufacturers Triul Run Yesterday Showed That Machine Was in First-Class 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. PUSHING BRANCHES G.T.P. is Pushing Work on the Feeders of the Main Line on Prairies. Brnndon Road May Soon Be Coin. meiiced While Active Operations Are on Elsewhere (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. o J. Y. Rochester has returned to the city from the south. o 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 WILL BE CHARTED Hydrographic Steamer Lillooet is tinuing Work in These Waters. Con- Entrances to Prince Rupert Will Soon Be Covered in Charts of Department I hydrographic steamer Lil- 3apu J P. Musgrave, s again 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. POLICE STATION TO AID SETTLEMENT Experts Representing the Government are Going Into the Interior to Study Conditions They Will Pass up tlie Skeena and Then Follow Route of G, T. 1". to Fort George Temporary Building Will He I'm up on Governmenl Reserve—Store Room Authorized 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 near Market place, lo be used as a blacksmith shop and storeroom at a cost of about ?200. 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. On the evening of May 24 the Overseas Club will hold one of the best concerts of the season, In the Empress Theatre. » » • A dance was given last evening in honor of Mr. Du Vernet and his bride, who will leave shortly for their home up the river. Mr. and Mrs. tieorge Brownley, of Vancouver, are spending a few days in the city, guests of Mr. and Mrs. D (1. Stewart. They will leave early in the week for Hazelton, en route to the Ootsa country, where Mr. Mrownley will engage in ranching. PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Friday, May 5, 1911.

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.

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 jeier-t week, the question of adding history and geagrophy to the high school curriculum was discussed. It Is reported thai the point was em- phasized thai since history and geography have been dropped from the high school course of study, ihe younger generation of teachers are handicapped as they possess no extended knowledge of these subjects, such as they require to Intelligently teach them. Here is a subject on which tlie laymen may be presumed lo be qualified to express an opinion. This opinion will not unlikely be that It Is a mistake to omit these subjects from the high school course. The business man and the professional man have been compelled to note that the high school graduate seems to be deficient in what should be an e'ementary knowledge of places and events. For example, how many boys from the high school will locate the country, province or state of tlie principal commercial cities of the world? Is Ottawa In Ontario? Some will hesitate at answering.

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 VICTORIA—The cit yof Victoria has been making application before a judge of the supreme court for an order for the destruction of certain buildings which are alleged to be insanitary and a menace to the health of the community. It is understood that there are over a hundred such buildings in the city which have come under the ban. The question of amenity was generally admitted but the legal aspect has proved quite another matter. In chambers, before Mr. Justice Murphy, In one of these applications which was directed against L. J. Quagllotti, In re spei't of a building owned by him, J. A. Aikman raised the point that the city had shown no grounds for making application for such an order. He reminded the court that a necessary preliminary was a declaration from the medical health officer to the effect that the buildings were a menace to the health of the community, that their existence was likely to spread disease, or that 61 Floor Varnish Made Especially for Floors Will not crack nor peel off.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL ***************************************************** t * * * * 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. o ' 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. RICH TERRITORY Resident of Kitsuinknluiii Expects to See Rapid Development 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. The ranchers In that vicinity will plant a large acreage this spring in vegetables for sale In the Prince Rupert markets. o Bishop Du Vernet returned from the south by the Prince Rupert. o ********* ************ ***** I NEW YORK FASHIONS I t * ************************** 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.

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.

There are two shoals north of the 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 said will continue all summer. A little difficulty arose with respect to licencing the river steamers leaving here in view of the fact that 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. INSPECTED CORPS Col. Wadmore D.O.C. for District Has Paid Official Visit to City.
