The statement you have made, Mr. .Mayor, as to the rapidity of the development of this northern part of British Columbia, and its future development, we of this company are firm believers in. We have shown that faith in the building and bringing of the railway along your Bhores. Our company has been as strong in their faith of the future growth and. prosperity of this part of the country as have you people who have come as pioneers, then as citizens, and have formulated a municipal government so well represented by these gentlemen. Our company's confidence has been evidene ed not only by the large numbers of men now at work along your shores building the railway, but in the building of this ship, which represents half a million dollars of faith. And I hope to have the pleasure of delivering to you another ship, r> sister ship which will compare with this in every respect—In strength and speed and every feature of this vessel tending to the safety, comfort and convenience of those who patronize her.

Nicholson With bouquets. After these short ceremonies, the vessel was thrown open for Inspection, it being crowded all afternoon by citizens. An interesting group of G. T. P. officials took advantage of the first trip of the Prince Rupert to personally check over her performance. Prominent among them was the general passenger agent of the G. T. P., Mr. W. P. Ilinton, who came out from the headquarters at Winnipeg for the first trip. Mr. Ilinton, who is a brother of John and George Ilinton, of the Ilinton Electric Company In Victoria and Vancouver, is a young man for the responsible post he now tills, but has already given proof of his ability as a railway man on the Canada Atlantic railway. Capt. Nicholson, manager of the ('.. T, P. .Steamship Company, who took out his vessel on the Great Lakes at seventeen years of age, was also on board with G. A.

The Prince Rupert fully comes up to the expectations of all those who have inspected her. The statement credited to the head of. a rival transportation company, that the new steamers left liiilo to be improved upon, probably best describes Hie steamers that are to make this their home port. The staterooms on the main deck are lilted up in a similar manner to those on the shelter deck, but without a settee, the curtains and carpets being of a rich bluy tone. At the alter end of this deckhouse is situated the first class smoke room, an elegantly fitted apartment panelled in solid dark fumed oak of late 18th century Colonial design, the panels being inlaid with choice selected specimens of "Purlrl" obtained from Australia, the blemiing of which affords quite a unique and pleasing effect, proving a delight to tile eye. This room is lighted by large and heavy plate gh)ss windows specially arranged tb give a clear and unobstructed view, and advantage is taken of the raised roof which extends overhead to lit small clerestory windows in the sides with ornamental glass, thus giving increased light and ventilation. A number of small square oak tables with four arm chairs each, all of metal stands, are distributed about as well as a number of comfortable teak lounge chairs at the sides, and the room Is well heated by a steam pipe running all round encased in an ornamental brass fret casing. Special dull copper ceiling electric linings with cut glass bowls are lilted in suitable position and the upholstery is of green and brown and brown leather, the floor being laid Willi interlocking indiarubber tiling of handsome design, the whole forming an artistic combination suggestive nf ease and comfort. A i Hie fore end of the smoke room the buffet is titled, being designed with massive circular front panelled in beautiful solid fumed oak and ornamented with rich carving of the same design as the smoke room. The buffet 1b fitted with refrigerator chest, filter, lockers, and all the latest provision for iced and other beverages. Access to the open deck may be had through two doors at the after end of the smoke room, sparred seats being fitted round the sterri so Hint passengers may sit at ease or promenade round the vessel for exercise. The observation room Is situated at the fore end of the shade deck, and will probably prove the most; popular resort for passengers. This' magnificent room lias pride of place DESIGNED SPECIALLY FOR THIS TRADE In the selection of a designer lor the first vessels of the new G.T.P, Beet on this Coast the company made ;i happy choice. II. L. Newman, from whose plnns anil under whose supervision the Prince Rupert and the Prince George have been constructed is a marine designer of wide experience. He hail a thorough training in his line of work in the Old Lund before he came to the United States. He was lor years head of Cramp's shipyards at Philadelphia. While there he designed every class of steamer afloat, including battleships and cruisers. Among the vessels on the.Pacific coast built from his plans are the Nevadan, Nebraskan, Texan, Mongolian and Manchurian. The steam yacht Dolaura owned by Hon. James Dunsmuir. was designed by Mr. Newman and built under his directing- eye in the Old Country. Another of his vessels well known here is the Dominion Government bydrographio survey ship Lillooet, which for Several years has been doing service in the waters contiguous to Prince Rupert. Mr. Newman about four years ago made a tour of the coast as far as Prince Rupert. At that time the city, which now boasts its own municipal council and is making such rapid progress towards attaining a proud place among the leading ports on the Pacific const, was the camp of a party of G.T.P. engineers and another camp of Dominion Government hydrographlc surveyors at Fairview. Mr. .Newman on that Hip thoroughly studied the requirements of vessels engaged in the trade on this coast. The result of bis local investigations at that time combined with his wide general knowledge is seen in the perfection of t lie arrangements en board the new G.T.P. steamers. The vessels have been planned by one who knows the exact needs of the local trade and are acknowledged to be the best of their class to be found any "here. In investigations -Mr. Newman was concerned to have a vessel thai could lie quickly stripped of freight so that no loss of time would ensue. The use of conveyor belts for that work is an innovation on this coast. By endless rubber belts such as are used in large industrial concerns light freight is made to pass along in a continuous stream to llie freight sheds. This was used for a time at Prince Rupert but necessary changes have to be made before the whole will be in working'order. These conveyor belts are driven by electricity. One section is located in the freight shed and the other on the ship. It will do away with a lot of handling. the freight being simply lifted on and oil the belt as it keeps passing. and being designed with a semicircular front of specially prepared prepared heavy glass with divisional heavy glass with divisional mounded pilasters and carved capitals, enables passengers to have an extensive range of unobstructed view. The woodwork is of a selected polished sycamore of the best quality, decorated in the Louis XVI style with highly figured birch panels and carved gilt festoon mouldings, the ceiling being flat, white decorated with geometrical designs. An imposing loftiness is introduced by the deck overhead being raised about I-ii above the uormal height and ornamented at the sides with carved festoon mouldings, giving an appreciative air of freedom and luxuriance. Soft divans are 111- led at each side and wicker lounge chairs with footstool extending all round the forward end, richly up- bolstered in blue wool tapestry of beautiful design, the windows being hung with silk tapestry and the floor laid Willi a thick blue Axminster carpet in harmony with the general scheme of decorations. A writing table and chairs are fitted at the after end, also tables at each side and one in the centre. The room Is heated by means of a large ornamental radiator fitted under the centre table, and is brilliantly lighted with special frosted silver ceiling electric fittings with heavy cut glass bowls. Exits are provided to the cabin accommodation and to the open deck, where promenading may be indulged in at will. Near the exits from the cabin are placed on either side teanw«od stairs leading to the boatdock above, where a large open space for promenading and observation has been provided. On this deck is located the wireless telegraph room built of teak- wood. The walls are heavily insulated, and besides a still further insulated chamber is built inside for, locating the sparker, The noise of ordinary installations is therefore completely obliterated. The second class passengers quarters are on the main deck forward in open berths and with suitable lavatory accommodation completely separated from all other parts of the ship. Ample promenade space is afforded at the forward end of the shelter deck from which access to the accommodation is obtained by a solid mahogany staircase through the second class smoke room. The room is fitted like the observation room above, with a semicircular front with large and heavy plate glass windows and the woodwork is of selected polished mahogany fitted with settee all round the forward end upholstered in green railway repp, and the floor 1b covered with inlaid parquetry linoleum. Heavy brass electric fittings, with frosted shades, and lamps are distributed to give ample light and the room Is heated by steam. Taken altogether the steamers are easily the best plying anywhere on the Pacific Coast. The Prince Rupert is of a graceful design. The interior deeora- | Hon and in fact the whole scheme of design and ornamentation have been most carefully considered and artistically carried out by the builders. Swan, Hunter & Wig- ham Richardson, Ltd., Wallsend-on- Tyne, England, under the able supervision of the company's naval architect, Mr. R. L. Newman. The general dimensions of the Prince Rupert and the Prince George are as follows: — Length over all, 320 feet; breadth extreme, 42% feet; depth moulded to shelter deck, 26 feet; gross tonnage, 3380 tons; deadweight carrying capacity, 1100 tons; water ballast, 606 tons; fuel bunker capacity, 410 tons. Twin screw engines, triple expansion with four cylinders and cranks balanced on the Yarrow Schlick and Tweedy system to ensure smooth running without vibration. Indicated horse power, 0,000. T, 1'. for some time to come. Two large double ended and two large single ended boilers of ISO pounds working pressure provide the power. Ilowden's forced draught; speed 18y« knots, loaded; passenger accommodation: 220 first class, 132 second class; promenade space for about 1,500 excursionists. Crew: 84. 'tile vessels are rigged as two masted fore and aft schooners with three funnels, and their straight stems and rounded cruiser sterns give them a very smart and graceful appearance in addition to affording Increased deck room for promenade and accommodation. On the shelter and shade decks are long steel houses, giving elegant and spacious accommodation for the first class passengers, together with the elaborate and tastefully decorated public rooms which are a special feature of the vessel. The upper deck house Is designed so as to give ample promenade walk at the sides of the ship, which will be a very popular feature, enabling passengers to promenade entirely round the ship, and from which to have an unobstructed view of the beautiful scenery along the charming route for which they are designed. The vessels are built In strict compliance with the requirements and under the Inspection of the British Corporation and British Lloyds for vessels in the coasting service and in accordance with the ISritlsh Board of Trade and Canadian regulations for passenger steamers of the above class. Wide roomy corridors pannelled in ivory white with rich carpets form another feature of the vessel. The rtrst class staterooms are ' out-side" rooms, each having its own port or window; each is handsomely fitted up with two mahogany front berths with hair mattresses of which the upper can be folded up against the bulkhead when it is desired to use the room as a single berth, wash basin with running hot and cold water service, mahogany toilet rack, settee upholstered in rich tones of rose moquette, dress ling hooks, two watch pockets, sponge nets, two luggage racks, mir ror, white metal hat and coat hooks, and other useful fittings. Curtains of cream challl cloth are fitted to the beds and rectangular sliding windows opening on the deck, and the floors are laid with rose colored Brussels carpets. The staterooms are effectively heated by steam, and ventilated by expanded metal mesh panels in the upper part of the framing fitted with inside draught screens and jalouise panels in the lower part. Special electric lighting arrangements have been made which are effected by white metal ceiling fittings with frosted shades and lamps which can be switched on and off uoth from the doorway and from the bed-head, and also the electric reading lamps fitted In the bulkhead above each berth in convenient positions, on which are also fitted electric bell pushes, making handsome fixtures. Four special luxurious parlor rooms, two on each side are fitted amidships on the shelter deck, all decorated and furnished in early Victorian style. The panels are differently polished, one In sycamore upholstered in shades of soft green goat-hair cloth with damask curtains to bed and windows, and green Australian pear decorated in shades of delicate blue, and one In solid selected mahogany upholstered In deep rose moquette with Grecian satin curtains to match and rose colored axminster carpetb all harmonizing very effectively. Each room is fitted with brass bedstead, dressing table with adjustable mirror, folding lavatory, with running hot and cold water; upholstered toilet rack, hat and coat hooks," double ring hooks, luggage rack, etc., heated by steam and lighted with white metal double nracket electric lamp with frosted shade on bulkhead also ceiling pendant and portable electric candle lamp with shade. Between each pair of rooms is fitted a private bathroom, with hot and cold, fresh and salt water supply, porcelain fixtures, the floor tastefully laid with jlue and white tiles and well ventilated. Tire dining saloon in these vessels has been admirably designed. There has been nothing spared to make them conform fully to the general features of the vessels. This room occupies the whole width of the ship and extends for a total length of 72 feet, the additional space afforded by the rounded cruiser stern being see* here to the fullest advantage. A special feature which attracts the immediate attention is the arrangement of five panelled semicircular bays each side, each fitted with a small table and chairs for seating five persons, in addition to the centre tables, and settee round the stern which is also provided with tables, the whole being adapted for dining 114 persons. It is a modified example of the Georgian period, the upper part ueing done in ivory white panels decorated with gold lines, and the lower part panelled in polished mahogany, the whole design blending with a prevailing spirit of warmth anu light. The decks, the observation quarters and the smoke rooms are all in keeping with the rich design in the other parts of the vessels, making the steamers the best plying anywhere on the Pacific coast.

Saturday, June IS, 1910 OUR INTRODUCTION The Journal in this, its first number, takes the opportunity of avowing its unbounding faith in the future of Prince Rupert. It is that faith which prompted the establishment of the paper anil the policy pursued by us will be in line with the conviction that this city will rapidly he- come one of the most Important shipping and commercial centres on the whole Pacific Coast. With those who are interested in pushing forward the city this paper joins hands. At all times its columns will be open to assist in that work. It exists not to serve any party, corporation, or clique, but is founded as a business proposition and to play its part in opening up to the world Prince Rupert and the vast area Tinown a9 New British Columbia, which must all be tributary 10 this city, and assist in making ii the important point that nature and circumstances have destined it to become. Starting a newspaper office in a city removed from the large centres entails a lot of inconveniences as far as the installing of the mechanical part is concerned. The Journal lias not been immune from these. It, however, is now able to appear and will issue on Tuesdays and Fridays of each week. We ask our readers not to be too critical at first until we have had an opportunity to get in full running order. Our aim will be to give our readers a newspaper fully up to the demands of the city. Without further introduction The Journal appeals to the people of the city for their patronage. To use a phrase familiar to the residents ol this place and dating back to the days when it was but an engineers' camp, "We're here because we're here." LICENCE REVENUE City Council Grapples With the Question of Fees The city council has a bylaw providing for the raising of revenue from licences, etc., other than liquor licences, now before It. The bylaw has passed its second reading. This provides for a $2 road tax from every male resident in Prince Rupert. The dog tax is fixed at ?2 and $5, the latter being for bitches. Owners of vehicles are to pay $2 a year for each.

The arrangements were in the hands of the Publicity Club, assisted by a committee of ladies, who certainly left nothing undone to contribute to the eomiort and enjoyment of the guests. The visitors were well represented, although quite a number spent the evening visiting friends. The decorations of .Mclntyre flail for the occasion was excellent, the firm of Flexman & Brown lending a supply of furniture for the dressing room. The orchestra provided a good programme and the floor being in fine condition there was nothing lacking to make the event a happy one. The early sailing of the Prince Rupert made it necessary for the visitors to leave reluctantly before midnight. Dancing was continued for several hours after the farewell was taken of them. Local News Personals H. Creech, of Copper City, spent a few days in the city this week. He left yesterday morning on his return trip. Mr. Saunders, representing H. H. Clarke & Co., the local wholesale produce firm, is making a business trip up the Skeena. George McDonald and J. Smith left by the Rupert City for Victoria. They have been looking into land lying between the Skeena and Portland Canal, and are delighted with the prospects for that section of the country. George Deane, inspector of schools after paying a visit to the schools in the city and this vicinity, left for Victoria by the Prince Rupert. R. W, Eaton, of the educational department at Victoria, after several weeks spent here, has left for home. W. .1. Saunders, who is deeply interested in Copper City townslte and is putting In a ferry at that point, is in the city. Mr. Kinsella, of Montreal, has joined the local staff of the G. T. P. here under Mr. McMaster. Mr. Kinsella is a brother of the secretary to the general manager of the company. Judge Voting has returned to the city after a nurried trip to Victoria where he was called by the serious Illness of his son Alex. His son is now convalescing. o OUTING IN INTERIOR MINISTER IN SADDLE Local Lady Will Go in Company With Friend to Telkwa Country The city council will have a bylaw prepared regulating blasting. C. C. Van Arsdol, engineer of the western section of the G. T. P., has returned from a tour of inspection to Edmonton. Capt. A. M. Da-;ies, who brought the steamer Prince Rupert from the Old Country, will remain here. He has taken the position of wharfinger at Prince Rupert. Mayor Stork, Aid. Barrow, City Solicitor A. M. Manson, and Engineer A. W. Agnew have gone to Victoria to press the claims of the city for water rights at Woodworth Lake before the provincial government. The city council, after several long discussions on the question of civic improvements, has practically decided to adopt .the local improvement plan. It. is likely, however, that the areas included in any scheme will be much larger than are very often adopted in coast cities. Mrs. Johnson, wife of Capt. Johnson, superintendent of the Foley, Welch & Stewart fleet of river steamers, has left in company with Mrs. Thomas Jefferson of New York, for the Telkwa. They will proceed to Hazelton by the steamer Distributor and then taking the trail will proceed the remaining 130 miles on horseback. About six weeks will be spent in the interior. Mrs. Jefferson's husband has for a long time been interested in coal properties in the Telkwa country. The present trip is made by the ladies to .Mr. Jefferson's camp in the interior, where a force of men is engaged in the opening up of the coal fields. Few ladies in northern British Columbia have seen more of the frontier life than Mrs. Johnson, who for many years made her summer home on the different steamers that her husband commanded on the Skeena. Both Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Jefferson look forward to an enjoyable outing. o WILL HOLD RACES The real estate firm of Williams & Soule has been dissolved. Mr. Williams has left for the prairies where he will look after some other business interests he has for a time. Mr. Soule has taken over the local business and will conduct it under the name of Norman Soule & Co. o Portland, Ore., June 18—Ephram Jameson, a well-known athlete, shot himself yesterday when Gladys Baker rejected his proposal of marriage. (Special to The Journal) Victoria, June 18.—The horse races will open here today in spite of Mayor Morley's determined effort to stop the meet. Six days' races will be held. ilaynor Bros., the well known firm of housefurnishers and funeral directors, have taken up their temporary location In the Dunedin block, corner of Second avenue and Eighth street. They are offering special bargains In some goods slightly damaged during the fire. In a few days the firm will move into new quarters in the Manson block, on Third avenue. Hon. Thomas Taylor is Making Tom of Skeena District • Hon. Thos. Taylor, the minister- in-the-saddle, came in on the Prince Rupert on one of his numerous trips to the interior points. Ever since taking office, Hon. Mr. Taylor ha9 hade it a rule to see for himself the different districts and obtain a first hand knowledge of their needs. His journey took him first to Stewart where in company with William Manson, M.P.P., the representative of the district, and J. H. McMullin, government agent, he met a committee of the citizens and discussed improvements. The citizens' committee felt It incumbent to ask a very liberal contribution from the government and put the sum at $30,000. Mr. Manson considered that $20,000 from the government, supplemented by 55,000 from the city itself and $5,000 from the townslte company would meet the situation fairly. This found favor with all concerned and was decided upon as a basis conditional upon approval by a publlo meeting. The approach to the whar) will be put in shape at once. Friday morning at 7 o'clock the Minister and party left for Hazelton Thence they will proceed by horse- hack probably as far as Francois Lake and back. Several hundred miles at least will be done on horseback, but this has no terrors for the Minister who is an old and experienced horseman. J. II. McMullin, government agent, will travel only as far as Kltselat) with the Minister on his trip up the Skeena. At that point the bound' ary of Mr.Mullin's agency is reached. o KILLED IN LIMBER CAMP (Special to The Journal) Parry Sound, Ont., June IS.— Raphael Domensalo was killed by Joseph Pisani while trying to separate the latter and another in a quarrel in a lumber camp at Foote Bay.
