MARINE WORKS
The Rupert Marine Ironworks

has in view un extension of
their business. George Busllby,
of Vancouver, who is interested with .Messrs. Rubiiigton
and Robinson, the local partners, in this enterprise, Spent a
few days in the city this week,
it has been decided to spend
probably $10,000 in equipping
works here that will take care
of the immediate needs of the
port in the matter of repairs to
shipping.
The plans look to the putting in of n wharf with teredo
proof idles on the waterfront
now leased by them from the
G. T. 1". The location will be
near the point where the Davis
boat iiouses are now. A building about 25 feet by 00 feet will
be erected and supplied witli
lathes and other necessary machinery. So equipped very considerable repairs can be made to
any shipping and the nucleus of
an industrial concern which the
promoters are determined to
keep abreast of the needs of the
time will be laid.
Mr. Bushby, during his stay
here, went all over the city. He
is most enthusiastic over the
outlook for Prince Rupert, and
regards the townsite as nil excellent  one.

(Special to The Journal)
London, June 18.—Sir Henry Dal-
ziel, M.P., has introduced a resolution into the House of Commons deprecating the delivery of public
speeches In this country by prominent foreign politicians of matters of
British political concern. The resolution sets forth that such speeches
are "calculated to violate the respected and time honored tradition
and as opposed to the best interests
of the State."
The resolution, it Is not denied
Is aimed at the course pursued by
Col. Roosevelt In dabbling in Egyptian  affairs.
py In his reply. Addressing himself to the Mayor and Council and
to the ladles and gentlemen present,
he   said; —
"I am sure I appreciate very sincerely this most cordial and hearty
welcome, as Well as those words of
kindly appreciation which you have
expressed upon the first arrival of
this ship. 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.

The ladies were presented by
Capt. 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. McNlcholl,
purchasing agent of the road In British  Columbia.
It. Beaumont, the assistant manager; Shore Stewart C. Nickerson,
and General Freight Agent L. V.
Druce, formerly commercial agent of
the G. T. P. in Seattle, were also en
board.
Chief Engineer Drysdale represented the builders, Messrs. Swan,

Leaving about 11 o'clock that
night for Stewart, the steamer returned on Thursday evening, reaching here about 9.30 and leaving
about midnight on the return trip
to the south.
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

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

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.

Oliver
Typewriter
This amazing offer—the NEW
MODEL AMERICAN OLIVER
TYPEWRITER No. 5 at 17 CENTS
A DAY—is open to everybody, every
where.
It's our new and immensely popular plan of selling Oliver Typewriters on little easy payments. The
abandonment of longhand in favor
of clean, legible, beautiful typewriting, is the next great step in
human progress.
Already—in all lines of business
and in all professions—the use of
pen and ink is largely restricted to
the writing of signatures.
Business Colleges and High
Schools, watchful of the trend of
public sentiment, are training a
vast army of young people in the
use   of  Oliver  Typewriters.
The prompt and generous response
of The Oliver Typewriter Company
to the world-wide demand for universal typwriting, gives tremendous
impetus   to   the   movement.
The American Oliver, witli the
largest sale of any typewriter in existence, was the logical machine to
take the initiative in bringing about
Hie universal use of typewriters. It
lways  leads,
Tlje.

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.
Licences governing trades and occupations will ,je issued half yearly
amounting annually to the following:—Rowling alley or rifle gallery,
?10; billiard parlors i for each
table), $10; opium sellers, except
druggists, .$300; wholesale merchant
or trader, $n0; retail merchant or
trader, $20; agents (retail), $100;
hawker or peddler (fish, game, or
farm produce), $20; hawker or peddler (other), $100;  theatres seating

ENJOYABLE  DANCE
Local  Citizens   Had   Opportunity  of
Meeting   Many   \ isitors
The dance given in honor of the
visitors to Prince Rupert by the new
steamer on Wednesday evening,
proved a most enjoyable social function. 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.

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

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.

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.
