HARVEST LABORERS
The Situation it is Expected Will Not be
as Serious as Reported.
The Middle States Will Finnish
Supply to Canada, It Is
Expected
(Special to The Journal)
Winnipeg, July 26.—-Intimation
conies from Saskatchewan to the effect that the government of that
province has pretty well taken care
of any excess of harvesters it may
require this year over previous
years. The great number of harvest-
esters required in the prairie provinces Is considered usually to he
very much over-rated. In a measure,
the fortunate operations of providence are likely to help out where
the arrangements of officials may
prove ineffective. The crops in the
middle wst states are expected to be
so light this year that many men
who would otherwise be engaged in
harvesting them will drift north Into
the prairie provinces.
Hon. Duncan Marshall, minister of
agriculture in Alberta, has not yet
heard anything deflntely concerning
the suggestion that the railways permit the flat fare rate of ten dollars
to convey harvesters west to Leth-
bridge, Calgary, Edmonton and intervening points, i ormerly that rate
has only applied to those coming
not farther west than Moose Jaw.
Mr. Marshall understands that the
railways are considering the proposal
"There will be a scarcity of labor,"
he said, "but our commissioners at
Montreal and Toronto will endeavor
to have train loads of men sent direct to this province. Formtrly they
have been staying off in Manitoba
and Saskatchewan simply because
because the ten dollar rate only carried them as far as Moose Jaw; but
this year we hope to have the same
rate prevail right to the Alberta
towns."
o
Arc Light System
The light committee of the council
has had the question of installing
arc lights instead of clusters of in-
eandescents for street lighting referred to it. The cost is not to exceed
$3,000, according to the estimate.

The repeated rumors of a Dominion election is' having the effect of
arousing the fighting spirit on both

BACK PROM TRIP
Dr. Kergin Has Returned From a
Trip to Alice
Arm
Dr. Kergin has returned from a
holiday trip' made in his launch, the
Sunbeam, as far as Alice Arm. The
return trip was made from that point
to Prince Rupert in ten hours, his
new launch proving excedlngly fast.
The trip made by the doctor was
very much enjoyed and he s feeling
much better for the outing.
The territory visited Is not now
to Dr. Kergin, who has visited nearly all points on the northern coast
and knows them well.
Speaking of the mining outlook
at the different points visited, he
says there are excellent showings being made by the operators which
promises well for the future. Rich
ore bodies are constantly being developed and the outlook is exceedingly bright.

Resignation Accepted
The resignation of Mr. Simpson
in the city engineer's department
was accepted by the council last
evening. Aid. Newton In moving the
adoption of the report hoped that
no one would be engaged to fill his

LEFT FOR ISLANDS

Resources.
Lumber and Fisheries of tlie District
> Arc Attracting
Investors
On her last trip to the Queen Charlotte islands the Princess Beatrice
took a large number of timber cruisers, who have gone over to investigate the timber of the islands for
intending investors. The party took
with power boats so that they might
get about the inlets with greater
ease.
In addition to these timber cruisers there also went to the islands
a party of men representing British
capital who have in view the investigating of the fishing industry of the
coast. The latter will go to the west
coast of Graham Island In the search
for a site for the station'which Is
contemplated. ,
The Indications are that before the
present slimmer has passed there will
be an immense amount of interest
shown In the islands and the outlook
is exceedingly good for that portion
of this northern territory.
The weather conditions and the
Immense natural resources of the islands are sufficient to warrant the
belief that within the next few years
the Queen Charlottes will have a population that will form in itself a
large trade with this port. The
Islands produce the best of timber,
unlimited supplies of fish, coal and
other minerals and has agricultural
resources that a suffficient to meet
the demands of a vast population in
the matter of dairy produce vegetables and fruits.
ULTIMATUM COMES
FROM SIR WILFRID
He Threatens That if Reciprocity is Not Put Through
Without Appeal to Country He Will Cut the West
off From its Proper Representation
(Special to«The Journal)
Ottawa, July 25.—"Permit a vote
to be taken in parliament on reciprocity or we will take the vote of
the Canadian people on it without
delay," was the ultimatum which Sir
Wilfrid Laurier addressed to the Conservative opposition in parliament
yesterday.
The chief obstacle to holding the
election to which the premier referred is that under the census,
which is just being taken. Western
Canada would be entitled to twenty
or more additional members. The
census will not be completed until
October and the law giving the west
its increased representation cannot
be passed for some weeks after that.
If an election were held before the
law is enacted the west will be under
represented in parliament for at least
four years the political leaders believe the west will show resentment
to which ever party it holds responsible.
"Our opponents," said Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, "try to convince the public
and the country they are not obstructing us. Neither the census nor
the re-distribution is before the
house today and we cannot go on
with them. But reciprocity is he-
fore the house to be dealt with. We
do not want reciprocity to wait. We
want It to pass either in this house
or before the country."
R. L. Borden replied that as Canada had waited forty years for reciprocity it could afford to wait six
months longer and allow re-distribution to give the west its proper representation.

Aid. Newton introduced a motion
last evening at the city council in
favor of making the water rates collectable for cabin tenements proportionate to the rate charged hotels.
The motion brought forth quite a
discussion, after which it was referred to the water committee for
consideration. >
Aid. Hilditch wanted to know
what the rate of hotels were so as
to compare them. Two men "batching" in a cabin should use as much
water as a man and his wife in a
five room house, said Aid. Hilditch,
and he did not see why they should
have a lower rate than the family
men.
Aid. Newton explained that what
he had in view was the reduction
of the rates where a row of cabins
were built and occupied. He did not
think it was quite fair to charge
for each of them the same rate as
would be charged for a house.
Aid. Hilditch said that if they
lowered the rate on one section it
would have to be raised elsewhere.
Men with families had to pay $12
a year now. There was a certain
revenue to be derived. If reductions
were made on one class of water
users others woulu have to bear an
additional burden.
A reference to the bylaw showed
that hotels paid a rate upon a certain number of rooms and then $2
a year extra for each room.
Aid. Hilditch did not think the
city could afford to let cabins off at
$2 a year.
A little cross-fire between Aid.
Newton and Aid. Hilditch followed,
the former contending that his motion did not mean a reduction to
that figure, and Aid. Hilditch expressing the view that he could not
Interpret it in any other way.
It was finally referred to the water committee.
Against Launch
The streets committee reported
against the launch offered the city
by Foley, Welch & Stewart. It was
considered to be insufficient for general work.
o
Tenders for Coal
Tenders were received last evening by the council for the delivery of
225 tons of lump coal for the lighting plant. The tenders were as follows: Rochester & Munro, $ 85;
Rodgers & Black, $8.25; Union
Transfer, $8.25. These were referred
to the committee with power to act.

A meeting of all the supporters of the Conservative party
in the City of Prince Rupert will be held in Melntyre Hall on
Tuesday evening, July 25, ut 8 o'clock, for the purpose of naming delegates to a convention to he held later to nominate a
candidate for the electoral district of Comox-Atlin.

W. J. QUINLAN, Secretary.
Rev. Father Hartman of this city
has returned from a visit to Victoria,
where, in company, with the representative of a prospective colony
from near Edmonton, he interviewed
members of the provincial government relative to securing the lands
necessary for the purpose. The site
proposed by Father Hartman is adjoining what is known as Naas Lake
Certain difficulties have to be considered by the government in connection with the scheme submitted.
The desire of the represenatives of
the settlers is to have the land taken
up as pre-emptions without the necessity of going to the expense and
labor involved in each coming to the
land and staking themselves, as is
necessary under the laws of the
province. They desire to act collectively In this part of the work. If
the difficulty can be overcome in any
way tlie land will at once he taken
up. The area proposed to be taken
is twenty-five miles square.
The families intended to be re-ISe-h
moved io the farms are not to come
directly from Germany. They are on
the prairies near Edmonton and
while they are of German blood they
know conditions in the wesi. They
would prefer to come to the Pacific
coast, where the weather conditions
are more to their liking and if tho
necessary arrangements can he made
for the taking up of the land 150
families will sell out on the prairie
and make their homes here.
The representatives of the party
have visited the location. They are
well satisfied with conditions. The
land is rich and according to the representative who went in with Father
Hartman is superior even to the
famed Okanogan as a farming location.
If the land is taken the settlement

Father Hartman, who visited the
location himself, is delighted with
the character of the country and predicts a great future for the Naaa
Valley and the vast districts tributary to It,
The "root and branch" men of the
city council were- strongly in evidence ai the council meeting last
evening. Their attention was for the
time being directed toward the po-
lice magistrate and they proceeded
to sit as a court of appeal and general review upon the decisions of the
magistrate. Tlie subject was introduced by Aid. Clayton and the attack upon the magistrate found an
echo from Aid. Newton and Aid.
Douglas who "corroborated" the
others.
Aid. Clayton moved that a report
concerning the recent gambling
cases should be furnished hy the city
solicitor.
Aid. Douglas said there was a lot
of comment about these cases. It
was a disgrace the way the people
were talking about these, he said.
Aid. Newton was afraid that the
remarks of Aid. Douglas would lead
to a belief that the police were lax.
He believed that today Prince Rupert
could pride itself on its police force.
It was a difficult task the police
had. He believed that the police
were not as blamable as the officials. He had it on good authority
that the magistrate reprimanded the
chief for not having gone first to
him and given the information before bringing the gambling cases into
court. Believing this to be true, It
is a lamentable state of affairs.
There was too groat a tendency to
deal lightly with some while pouncing upon others. Some of
those most responsible should not
go unpunished. This "pulling up"
of six men and letting the really
guilty one go free looked too much
like partiality being shown. He objected to the magistrate acting as
one who wanted to act as prosecutor,
judge and jury.
Aid. Clayton said he did not propose to connive at crime. He did

WAS TRAIL BLAZER
.;. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"There is certainly a great change
in the Kootenays since I first canil
up the Kootenay River in 1865. At
that time, of course, there was hardly a white man in the country with
the exception of one lonely settler
at Grand Forks and some score of
placer miners at Wild Horse Creek,
near where Fort Steele is now located," said Hon. Edgar Dewdney,
builder of the great Dewdney trail,
ex-member of the provincial house
for Kootenay and ex-lieutenant governor of the province, on a recent
visit to Nelson.
It was In April of 1865 that Mr
Dewdney, then chief civil engineer
for the crown colony of British Columbia, left New Westminster, which
was then the capital, and proceeding
to Hope, commenced that trail blazing trip of his with a party of four
white men and 18 Indians which was
destined to be marked with white
stones in the history of Britisii Columbia. The trail opened up a country which had hitherto been a terra
incognita; a land of mighty rivers
and almost impassable pine clad
mountains known only to the deer,
the bear and other native animals,
and a few scattered bands of Indians. Its mineral resources were
only indicated by a few placer de-
popsits,' lode mining was unthought
of; its timber was not needed, and
it was yet 30 years before the adaptabilities of its fertile soil to fruit
was discovered.
Through this country Mr. Dewd
ney commenced to survey the great
trail, in all over 300 miles in length
which extended from Wild' Horse
Creek to Hope and there connected
with a road to the coast, from which
all supplies had to he drawn. The
actual number of miles of trail,
hewn out of the virgin forest, was
211, and the cost to the country was
$74,000, a trifling sum compared
with the difficulties of the work and
the advantages that accrued to the
province, that are still, in certain
sections, falling to the lot of the
Britisii Columbian,
,"I explored the country between the
Arrow Lakes and the Kootenay River," said Mr. Dewdney, "and finding that it would be necessary for
me to come up the river, I sent out
two of my party with some of the
Indians out toward Grand Forks,
then called Grand Prairie, and wishing to obtain a boat I despatched
one of my Indians to the mouth of
the Kootenay River where is joins
theh Columbia. At that spot there
was a large Indian village, ruled by
Chief Gregorle, one of the big chiefs
of the Kootenay tribe. He supplied
me with a canoe, and after I had
made the trip to Fort Colvllle, on
the other side of the boundary line,
for supplies, I commenced the trip
ui> the Kootenay River.
"It was no picnic. We made 14
portages in all, and at some places
had to go miles from tin- river to
find a deer trail through which the
Indians could carry my boats and
supplies.
"I remember my first sight of the
Bonnington Falls. We were making
a portage and although some distance from the river I heard tho
sound nf the water. 1 asked an Indian what ii was and he replied
'Hyas Skookitin Marie,' and told me
to look. I made my way to the
river and saw what 1 then considered, and in fact still consider, the
most beautiful falls in the world.
The scene was magnificent,
"Following the river, we passed
where Nelson now stands, and I
went on io W'ilel Horse Creek In
Easl Kootenay. There I found a
number of miners washing gold from
the alluvial diggings, some of which
arc being worked today, and after
determining upon ihe route for the
trail tu Hope I succeeded in obtaining between <•" und 70 men ami
placed them in charge- nf William
Fi-rnle, the fine old tinier who elis-
covered coal In tin- Crow's Nest and
after Whom the city nf Fertile is
named.
"By the middle of September wo
had the trail built through our own
country, over which wns subsequently supplied all the food and other
materials required in the early development of the Interior."
There were other troubles than
physical with which Mr. Dewdney
had to contend in building the trail.
The Indians, he said, were good
workers, but they would not accept
money In payment. For this there
were two reasons. One was that all
the money In the interior, which
erlcanwas not of any great amount,
was American', and the Indians hated
the Americans as they hated soap
and water, and would not take their
money. English money, when they
had learned its value, was all right,
as they liked "King Georgo men,"
as they called the English, but to-
*************************
bacco, articles of clothing and powder formed the most acceptable payment that could be made to them.
The Dewdney trail commenced at
White Horse Creek, passed through
Cranbrook, which was then called
"Pea Vine Prairie," to Moyie, and
then down Goat River and across
the divide to the Kootenay flats.
From there it wound its way up Summit Creek, passed where Ymlr now
is, down the Pend D'Oreille to Fort
Sheppard, a Hudson Bay post. The
next point was Trail Creek, from
wliere It passed in sight of Red
Mountain, where the Le Roi mine
was later discovered and where
Rossland has since been built, to
Christina Lake through Grand
Prairie to the Boundary country and
up Rock Creek. The trail then followed the Similkameen River to
Keremeos and up to Princeton,
where it connected with a road which
had been built from Hope.
Previous to embarking upon what
may be regarded as the greatest
achievement of his life, Mr. Dewdney
surveyed the townsite of New Westminster, the capital of the Colony of
British Columbia, which until 1866
was separate from the Colony of
Vancouver Island, which had Victoria
as its capital. He also explored
along the present route of the
G. T. P. and was up the Skeena,
Omineca and Babine rivers opening
a route to the Omineca country,
which was consuming a great amount
of supplies owing to the placer oper-
at'ons in that district.
Later, Mr. Dewdney was elected
member for Kootenay and took part
in the memorable debate on March
9, 1870, when it was decided that
the colony should join the Dominion Confederation. From 1892 to
1897 he was lieutenant governor of
the province. Mr. Dewdney has
great faith In the future of the Similkameen country and has its mineral, timber and farming resources
at his finger tips.
while he was on his way to Lucknow
his force was stopped by a walled
enclosure. A little soldier, a Punjabi Mohammedan, seeing the difficulty, endeavored to open the door
which barred their way. When he
tried first to draw the bolt one of
his hands was cut off by one of the
enemy. Then he managed to unfasten the bolt with his other hand,
which was subsequently nearly severed from the wrist.

DANGER FROM FIRE
(heater Care Is Necessary if Forests
Are to Re Protected From
Ravage of Flames
While the province has been exceptionally fortunate in the matter
of forest fires and consequent loss
thus far this season—in large part
owing to ceasless watchfulness—It Is
only by observance of the utmost
care that outbreaks can now be
avoided in certain dangerous districts, points out Commissioner W.
C. Gladwin.
"In some districts," says the commissioner, "the conditions existing
at present are such that should a
fire originate, it will only be with
the greatest difficulty that a heavy
lass will he prevented. The department, of course, has a considerable
force of rangers out patroling the
various districts night and day, hut
one careless Individual may cause all
their efforts to count for naught and

PUNJABI'S BRAVE DEED
Lord
Roberts Tells of .Most Heroic
Deed He Ever
Witnessed
The Duke of Connaught, Earl
Roberts, Earl of Derby and the
Bishop of Hereford was among the
large company which assembled on
Ihe occasion of "speech day' at Wellington College. His royal highness
presented the majority of the prizes.
The Duke of Connaught congratulated the college on the. fact that Old
Wi'lllngtiinlaiiH had been chiisi-n for
many high positions throughoul the
Empire, lie particularly wished to
II. (1. W. II. Stone, who passed first
trey, who passed first out of Sand-
liursl, and L. A. Barratl, who gained
the sword of honor at Sandhurst.
The term "Welllngtonlan" was looked up to not only at home but
throughoul the Empire.
In handing his prize to Harvey
Jones, as the best all-round boy In
the school, Lord Roberts said It was
Jones' ambition to join the Indian
army. If he achieved his object he
would find that, although conditions
had changed since he (Lord Roberts)
joined sixty years ago, and the army
was better prepared, the natives of
India still formed the army. If Jones
would make friends with them, learn
their language, and treat them considerately, ho would find they would
readily follow him.
He (Lord Roberts) had been asked
what was the bravest deed he had
ever seen. He remembered that

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL
A MODERN BATTLE
German Expert Discusses the Question
From Standpoint of New
Armament.
Immense Bodies of Iron Would Take
Part—Some of the Striking
Features
The size of a modern battlefield
has been the subject of discussion
recently among German military experts who have been stimulated
thereto by a new book by General
Falkenhausen, one or the most eminent authorities ou land war strategy. The conclusions at which the
participants in this interesting debate
arrive revealm to the uninitiated the
amazing dimensions which a.battlefield in a twentieth century war
would assume.
General Faulkennausen discusses
the theoretical case of an army with
a rival force of approximately the
game numbers, and he says that the
operations would extend over an
area fully 200 miles from side to
side and not less than 150 miles
deep, that is from the rear of one
army to the rear of its enemy.
But an army of this size would
be small in an up-to-date warfare,
for forces of this numerical strength
took the field as long ago as the
Franco-German campaign of 1870,
since when marvelous developments
in military matters have ensued.
In a struggle between two great
European powers, it is quite possible
and indeed probable that each of the
opposing forces would number something over three million troops, for
German, France, Russia, and Austria-Hungary are all capable of
sending such armies to the front
without touching their respective
last lines of reserves. If two such
armies were engaged in battle, the
field of their operations would probably extend quite 500 miles from side
to side, while the distance from the
rear of the one force to the rear
of the other could hardly be less
than 300 miles. Thus the battlefield would have an area of 15,000
square miles.
When Frederic the Great fought
his battles In the eighteenth century,
the field of operations never exceeded more than four miles from side
to side and in the Russo-Japanese
war, when, owing to the great distance from the respective bases,
there were never more than three
or four hundred thousand troops simultaneously in action, the battlefields remained limited in extent.
Siipee liiiin.iii Trick
Will the generals of the future be
equal to the almost superhuman task
of directing operations over such immense areas? Every army must
have a commander-in-chief and the
generalissimo must control the move,
ments of all the troops united under
his orders. He will have all the
latest technical devices at his disposal. Hundreds of miles of telegraph and telephone wires will be
rapidly laid down in order that he
may exchange orders and communications with his auxiliar yofflcers.
There will be motor cars and flying
machines, dirigible airships and
spherical balloons, bicycles and apparatus for wireless telegraphy and
telephony, besides other mechanical
contrivances for signalling.
Will they suffice to surmount the
purely technical difficulties nvolved
inestablishing effective communication over such an area, especially
as they have to be installed and
equipped for service in a very short
space of time? And if they furnish
a perfect communicating machine,
wil there be any human brain capable of mentally digesting the information supplied to him with be-
wildering speed from so many different soudces and In working out In
his mind the profoundly complex
problems connected With the movements of such legions of human engines of war? Would Molike, tho
greatest stateglst of modern times,
If he were alive, be able lo handle
armies of millions with the ease and
celerity necessary for success? Are
the great armies created by the leading countries of Europe really efficient Instruments of war or would
the complicated machinery break
down tinder the stress of actual hostilities?
Experts Discuss Problem
All these questions are occupying
the minds of European experts, but
only a war can supply conclusive
reply to them. There is.however, a
strong inclination among many competent judges to regard the countless legions of the great powers as
inefficient because they are too big
and unwieldy to handle with facility
and because no human brain can
surmount the difficulties of directing their movements with precision.
There would be plpenty of other
problems to solve besides those of
generalship. The feeding of such
vast hosts of men would be a gigantic task. As the great army moved
forward, something like 3,000 field
bakeries would have to be constructed for use every day and as there
are underground, and created by excavating earth, extensive areas of
country would be honey-combed by
these holes, involving much damage
to landowners and farmers and danger to all pedestrians in those regions. Soldiers do not live by bread
alone, and the supply of other provisions for a three-million army
would strain the resources of any
commissariat department, even the
smartest, to the uttermost. The
supply of pure water, too, would
present grave and In dry weather
perhaps insuperable difficulties.
There would be tens and hundreds
of thousands of horses to tend and
feed and enormous quantities of
petroleum required for the various
motor cars employed for auxiliary
purposes. The ordinary brain reels
at the thought of all the intricate
machinery that would have to be
set In motion and kept in good working order in the event of a great
modern war.
Some German authorities predict
an abandonment of very great
armies based on compulsory military service for every male adult in
the country and recourse to smaller
armies of trained fighters. Then
comparatively few professional sol-
battles of the nation, as is the case
in England and America. One thing
is regarded as certain, if the great
military powers of Europe and Asia
do not abandon conscription and fall
back on smaller armies of professional soldiers, then both America
and E-igland will be compelled, as
a matter of self-preservation,, to
adopt conscription.

Dr. Dillon, discussing foreign affairs in the Contemporary Review,
states that Russia still keeps her
gaze turned Far Eastwards, uncertain whether to dream on or act.
Temptation is more potent there than
than elsewhere, the line of resistance
being weaker. There Is an attraction about China which fascinates.
And it is made stronger hy the fact
that aggression there may easily appear to a patriotic nation a rational
form' of self-defence, a duty it owes
to itself. Moreover, the time is short
and whatever is to be done in China
must be achieved quickly. It was
delay that frustrated all Russia's
plans In the Near East and in Persia.
And delay may ruin her prospects
in China for all time if it be persisted in. The perspective is all the
moie alluring that Japan and Russia
are now virtually allies. And if Japan he with Russia, who can prevail
against her? The Russian war min-
mlnlster, GeneralSukhomllnoff, has
accordingaly st out for the Far East,
desirous of studying the whole question on the spot, especially in its
more practical aspects, before coming to a decision as to Russia's attitude. Rumor is rife that an offensive
and defnsive alliance with Japan is
In preparation—a dual alliance for
the extreme Orient. That, howver,
is almost superflous, so rlosely allied
are the two enemies today. Meanwhile China is bestirring herself;
her movements, says Dr. Dillon, are
mechanical, clumsy, uncontrolled—
perhaps uncontrollable for th mo-
men.t. They suggest a mighty monster awakening out of a long sleep,
but not yet in a state of full con-
sciousnss. The European and American press chronicle marvelous progress ther during tho past three years
—seven-mil strides towards culture
and military development. The Russian statesmen, it is said, rails these
things, believes them, and feels
alarmed, If China becomes a mlll-
lary power, then Russian alms, that
seemed within easy distance of al-
tP'.nmnt, will fade, away Into the infinite void. And another flv years
may suffice to mark of th China of
Ihe future from the Celestial Empire
Of the past. Anything thai ran lie
accomplished In the way of obtaining guarantees for China's good behavior In coming years must, therefore, be taken in hand at once. There
Is no time to lose. In another five
years the op;:o tunlty may have vanished. Such is the line of reasoning
attributed to Russia by the European press. Dr. Dillon says he cannot believe It, and it Is his Impression that they sincerely wish to live
in peace with their Mongolian neighbor.

A FALSE POSITION
Sir Wilfrid Laurier. according to
tin- latest despatches, seems determined to bring on an election
wlthoul redistribution. His excuse
for so doing is that the Opposition
will not allow reciprocity to go to
a vote in a house now putting in ils
lasl hours. If ever there was good
reason fur demanding nn appeal in
the people on a live question it is on
this occasion.
Mr. Borden has assured the leader
of the Government that he will give
every opportunity to allow the passing of a redistribution act. He is
anxious to allow the West to have
its full voice in tlie parliament of
the Dominion before this question is
settled. This is what might have
been expected of a man of Mr. Borden's character, who is always eminently fair. On the reciprocity
question, however, he stands uncompromisingly in favor of the mandate
of the people being taken.
Sir Wilfrid seems to be fearful of
the results of redistribution. He
fears the spirit of the West with
the full representation to which It
is entitled, it is surely a sign of
weakness on his part as to the feeling of the West when he refuses to
give it the increased representation
before deciding a question of the importance of the reciprocity agreement.
Another disturbing feature which
the premier is doubtless afraid to
face is the question of reducing the
representation in the Atlantic Maritime Provinces. Fearful of the attitude of the increased representation
in the West and of the protest
against, decreased representation in
the East, Sir Wilfrid seeks to put
the responsibility for forcing the
election upon Mr. Borden and catching a verdict from the country upon
a distribution of seats that will not
adequately represent the electorate.
It is a course that is eminently
unfair and one which the electorate
will surely deal with in no uncertain way.
PROBLEM OI
'EERS
Lively Speculation on as to Government's Selections in ('use Wholesale Creation Is Decided Upon
titled to secure the high distinction
of viscountships.
Drawing on the House of Commons for new lords presents difficulties. If one hundred or more
members of the lower chamber are
taken, a miniature general election
will be necessary to fill their places
and the country and politicians alike
are tired to death of elections with
ihe consequent turmoil, expense and
disturbance to business.
-Moreover, the government cannot
afford to risk the members of parliament except from safe Liberal
constituencies. The exact social
status of the new peers, if hatched,
is the subject of no little speculation. Tiie Conservatives profess to
believe that they will be looked on
with amusement and contempt. One
writer says that ..moriran heiresses
an.' far too shrewd to find such
quasi-nohlemen objects of their ambitions.
Another suggests the adoption of
ihe title of count to the British
peerage for the purpose of Asquith s
peer for distinguishing the new from
the regular delegates as noblemen
created for a special political purpose.
The Daily Telegraph, a staunch
Unionist paper in an editorial says
not only that the House of Lords
will pass tlie third reading of the
veto bill today without division, but
when the government hill is returned
to the upper chamber shorn of the
lord s amendment, they also will
pass that, for the simple reason that
"there really is no practicable
choice," and because it would form
an evil and dangerous precedent to
bring the crown into the struggle
and it would be impossible for the
king to withhold his consent if the
ministers required the creation of
peers.
Practically the whole Unionist
press has now fallen into line with
the Telegraph in the admission that
this is the only reasonable policy for
the lords to follow, and that the "no
surrender" policy would be suicidal.

will be instructed to ask that the application of the Vancouver board be
refused unless Nelson is guaranteed
a corresponding reduction in freight
charges from the east to Nelson. It
was pointed out that Vancouver, on
some goods, already has a lower rate
than Nelson, and that if the rates
to the interior were reduced the position of this city as a wholesale centre would be jeopardized unless Nelson also received a reduction.
HEAVY LAND SALES
There is much curiosity on the
part of politicians over the cabinet's
list of potential peers. That a list
has been made and is awaiting the
possibility of Its use in the event
that ibis is necessary to obtain the
passage of the veto bill in the House
Of Lords then- is no doubt. The
government's spokesmen have said
repeatedly within the last week that
Premier Asquith wns prepared to
meet all contingencies of ihe situation in all details, which is taken
to mean that he has hidden up his
sleeve; two leading sources of supply,
these being the eldest sons of Liberal peers and members of parliament.
Proposals to enable the eldest
sons presents an amusing phase of
revolution. Peers of baronial rank
think that If their sons are enoble-d,
they themselves should be promoted
tu be viscounts, when their sons are
made barons.

ALBERNI—W. J. Dick, mining
engineer for the conservation commission of the Dominion of Canada,
spent a week in and around Port
Alberni making an examination of
the coal indications. He also made
a careful ispectlon of the coal show
ing that is now being developed on
the waterfront a short distance
south of the Waterhouse wharf. The
tunnel was in S5 feet when Mr. Dick
made his examination, and he pro
nounced the coal to be a good qual
ity suitable for steam purposes and
house fuel. It was already of a
marketable quality, while the quantity and the ease with which it could
be taken out made it a paying proposition. Mr. Dicks investigations led
him to the conclusion that the seam
on which the miners are working is
only one of three, there being evidence of tlie existence of two others
farther down, where a superior quality of coal would be found. He
could only speculate on the distance
of these seams from each other, but
thought the second might be struck
within (10 feet. At any rate the indications would certainly warrant
the operation of a diamond drill.
There was no doubt in Mr. Dick's
mind but there is an enormous body
of good e'oal under the townsite and
land on either side and behind it.
He estimated the area at eight
square miles.

VANCOUVER — That the land
operations of the Hudson's Bay
Company in Canada for the past year
exceed the operations for the year
previous by $1,542,500, and that the
land branch of the company reports
a total sale of 267,000 acres at an
average price of $14.03 per acre,
against 104,400 acres at an average
of $12.43 for the corresponding period, is the interesting report made
public here by Herbert E. Burbidge,
the company's general sales and store
commission, yesterday. "The report
of the Hudson's Bay Company,
which I have just received, covers
a period of 20 months, so far as it
concerns the sales shops accounts,
which have been brought up to January 31 last, whereas hitherto these
figures have always been made up
to May 31 of the previous years,"
explained Mr. Burbidge, in Vancouver, wherie he was supervising the
plans of enlargement of his company
in that vicinity. "The land covers
the period of 12 months ended March
31 last. The results obtained during
the period have been of a very encouraging nature, and particularly as
regards land operations, which have
been productive of no less than
$2,742,500, an increase of $1,542,-
000 as compared with 1909-1910.
Trading operations, which expression covers, of course, the company's
fur dealing business, have resulted
in a net profit of $S00,000, or about
$31,000 less than in the preceding
year. ' Considering the very serious
fall in the prices of furs, this must
be considered quite satisfactory.. Altogether, therefore, the company
shows net receipts of $3,542 5000
during the period in question as
against $2,031,000 during 1909-
1910."

"Do you believe in long engagements?" he asked after she had consented to be his.
"Yes, dear," she replied. "I have
always thought it was such a mistake for two people to rush into
matrimony before they learned to
really know each other."
"Well, about how long would you
wish the engagement to be?"
"Let me see. Would you think it
was too long if we didn't get married
until a week from next Thursday?"

WHERE RESPONSIBILITY RESTS
Editor The Journal:—It seems a
pity that people who can be relied
on lo he fairly truthful in ordinary
business matters, think it no harm
le indulge in niisreprsentation when
the object aimed is the advantage
of the party in poltics with which
they happen to be affiliated.
Such an instance occurred recently when the editor of the News stated that the responsibility for bringing on an election before redistribution, and thus practically disfranchising a large number of the western people, must rest with the Conservative opposition at Ottawa. Tlie
editor must have known that he was
slating something which is absolutely Incorrect and his net Ion can only
be accounted tor by the doctrine thnt
the end justifies the means. The

The present government has in no
sense any mandate from the people
of Canada to change the fiscal policy
of a generation without first submitting the matter to the country.
Laurier was returned to power mainly through his patriotic plea that he
was getting old and would like to
he allowed ,to finish his work before
retiring from public life, his work,
as lie put it. being the completion
of the G. T. P. On this plea he won
thhe election. Surely he will not
claim that it is any part of the completion of his railway policy to try
and divert traffic from the eastern
part of the Dominion to the American territory to the south.
The plain facts are that on this
question the opposition is standing
for responsible government and the
right of the people to be consulted
before any change having such a far-
reaching effect as this will have is
adopted. They have offered to vote
supply and assist the government to
carry on the business of the country for which they were elected, but
they will not allow a change In the
fiscal policy of the country, which
many people who are just as good
Canadians as the editor of the News,
believe will eventually result in our
absolute dependence on the United
States, If not our ultimate absoptlon,
without first putting it squarely before the people of Canada for their
decision,

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL
ARE GETTING READY
Government is Preparing for Settlers
in the Peace River
District.
Government's Survey Work Is Thoroughly in Hand for Season—
Up-to-date Information
if the strike is settled within the
next few weeks, they say, it will be
impossible to obtain fuel for a long
period, owing to the other demands
upon the supply, and shortage of cars
during the movement of the wheat
in the prairies. The board will hold
a special meeting to consider asking
the Canadian Pacific Railway to give
special rates on coal from Vancouver Island mines to relieve the situation. Otherwise importations must
be made from Pennsylvania.
With the despatch of two or three
complete and well equipped parties
to the great virgin territory on the
south fork of the upper Fraser between Tete Jaune Cache and Fort
George, the survey work of the prov-
Inve for the present season may bo
said to be thoroughly under way,
with prospect of decidedly beneficial
and practical results. These various
survey parties, of which there are
a greater number than usual in the
field, have directions to lay out the
several large reserves set aside for
the particular—indeed exclusive—
benefit of the prcemptor; and at the
same time they will, in accordance
with this season's instructions, supplement their orthodox professional
reports with helpful information of
the records as to temperature, rainfall, timber conditions soil character, etc., all of which data will be of
immense benefit to the prospective
settler, to whom it will be freely
available at the nearest government
office to the desired land as well as
at headquarters in this city.
There are also in preparation in
the department four distinct and separate preemptors' maps of sections
contiguous to existent or immediately
prospective railway facilities, which
maps are being rushed forward with
all possible celerity, and will be
quickly followed with others as soon
as essential data is sufficient for
their compilation.
Settlement Policy
It is recognized by the minister
that there is small advantage in campaigning for the settlement and development of the new lands of British Columbia if, on their application
for specific and reliable information
in respect thereto,, prospective settlers cannot be Immediately and accurately advised as to the prevailing
conditions. The policy is therefore
being systematically developed of
providing the fullest and most up-
to-date Information for intended settlers, available where it will be most
convenient and of greatest advantage to such prospective colonists.
And in this connection the utilization of practical homestead inspectors will probably be necessary and
expedient in the not far distant future.
All the lands now being surveyed
under the direction of the lands department are In territory on the lines
of projected or assured railways, or
in touch witli navigable arterial waterways, which will assure their expeditious settling up; while surveys
are to be hereafter checked up sysT
tenia!It-ally- hy an independent and
capable official from headquarters.
W. s. Drewry has recently been appointed in this capacity. He is to
leave at once on his first Inspection
tour, in the course of which he will
check and confirm various recent
surveys in the East Kootenay district, afterwards going Into Cariboo
from Ashcroft northwards.
This will in all probability be the
last season in which government surveys will be conducted in this province by asisgned private members of
the profession, engaged by Ihe government, it being the intention to
inaugurate the bureau of. surveys
provided for in legislation of last
session and develop the work of the
bureau along systematic and thorough lines, the growth of Britisii
Columbia in population and industrial importance having necessitated
tlie inauguration of more modern
methods. Up to date the department has not found it necessary to
go outside of Ihe profession in this
province for men competent and
ready to direct its field enterprises,
and It is Improbable that such necessity wil arise for years to come,
although provision Is mnde In the
statute by which such a condition
may be met with should It present
Itself.
FORESEES UNION
Governor Osborne of Michigan Gives
His View of Results to Follow
Reciprocity
COAL SHORTAGE
NELSON—That a joint meeting
of the boards of trade of Eastern
British Columbia and Southern Alberta should be held at an early date
to consider the passage of a joint
resolution asking the Dominion government to take some action to relieve the serious situation created by
the coal strike, is the suggestion endorsed by the Nelson board of trade,
and of the Fernle board of trade.
The meeting will probably he held
in Nelson. According to local coal
dealers, high prices for coal here this
winter are inevitable, while a famine is greatly to he feared. Even
In a welcoming speech at the opening session in Detroit of thhe National Editorial Association convention, Governor Chase Osborne de-
e'lared that the "new trade relations"
about to be established were a prelude to a union of nations from the
North Pole to the Isthmus of Panama.
"I think it is the destiny of America to abolish the long line of menace along our northern border," said
the governor, "until we have one
country with one type of government,
one language, one people from the
North Pole to the Isthmus of
Panama."
In his annual address to the convention, President Baumgartner discussed the advisability of a national
law licensing editors. He make a
vigorous attack on "yellow newspapers."
"The yellow newspaper is not the
worst form of journalism, however,"
continued President Baumgartner.
There is a class of newspapers that
is in the market brazenly on sale
to the higest bidder. Well edited,
typographically excellent, respectable, dignified and conservative, having the support of the business community, entering the best homes, yet
rotten at heart—these are the papers to be feared. In the purchasable and subsidized press is to be
found the most terrible foe of lib,
erty, progress and democracy."

it may seem curious that it should
he after China there should come the
awakening of Russia. Skilled observers profess to see the signs all
over the county—not alone in edu-
says the Montreal Herald.
Probably the majority of Canadians will wonder, not that should
be an awakening, but that it should
be so long delayed. Why should Russia have lingered so far behind Europe and America? The explanation
put forward Is that her people are
Slavs—almost Asiatic in their habits
and prone to accept things as they
are. Yet they are strangely given
io idealize.
It is probable that their remoteness from other countries, which
kept thehm as a nation apart, aws
responsible for their lagging in I lie
commercial and industrial race. It
is only 50 years since slavery was
abolished and until then the owner
of peasants could maim, kill and outrage them as he pleased.
The Russian peasantry have just
and the face has become Known to
American. English and German producers, who have agents getting
busy all through the czar's dominions. There seems to be an opportunity for the Canadian manufacturers, too, if they feel like establishing branches there.
The harvester trust has bought a
factory near Moscow and has begun
to manufacture the agricultural machinery for which its name is famous
with a force of G.OJO men.
The beginning of a large amount
of business of this kind has been
made In Moscow, which is a great
commercial city and the real heart
of Hussla so far as material development Is concerned. St. Petersburgh
is a city ul' li'lilnoonlks (officials).
It Is artificial; not Russton, but cosmopolitan, in a cheap, second hand
sort of way. MOSCOW, on the other
hand, is echt-Russlach, It Is solid,
and rich, and genuine, with Its roots
deep In the past. You can see the
difference at once in the streets, in
the shops, In the hotels. The biggest shop by the way, is the enterprise of two Scotsmen, Mulr and Mir-
rilees, whose names In Russian look
strangely familiar and yet strangely
odd.
Russian merchants are nearly all
sons of peapsants who have piled up
their riches painfully, with Incredible
clear and certain ahead before they
embark on a speculation, In modern methods of business they are
scarcely equal competitors with the
foreigner, trained to think quickly,
cut losses, and take risks. And since
agricultural machinery is chiefly
English, German or American, the
agencies which deal in it are mostly
rather than Russian pure.

AN UNWISE STEP
"The red, white and blue, with its
present number of stars, is sufficient
for me, and I am not at all anxious
to add another star to our neighbor's
flag with my vote," is the opinion on
reciprocity forcefully expressed by J.
E. H. Barnet of Renfrew, Ontario,
who is now on the Pacific coast.
Though Mr. Barnet's timber interests in this and other provinces are
figured in the millions, and sine timber men on this side of the boundary
line are commonly credited with
standing to reap considerable benefit
from any prospective reciprocity
treaty between Canada and the United States. Mr. Barnet is too loyal
to the flag of his own country to
permit himself to be swayed by
sordid selfishness when the prosperity of the entire Dominion is at
stake.
"To my way of looking at it, this
question of reciprocity is not to be
considered lightly or altogether in
the nature of a commercial agreement, for if such were the case 1
would soon be found on the side of
those advocating it, hut a step that
is likely to create a chilled feeling
between Canada and the Mother
Country. Frankly, I believe the
whole scheme is just in keeping with
the almost imperial commercial pol-
ie-y of the United States. This rec-i
proclty treaty is simply a bait held

confident Canadian beware of the
wily sons of Uncle Sam, who do not
e'lire a rap for our prosperity, but
their own. They are not so philan-
thropically inclined as to throw their
doors wide open to us. What they
will take from us is just a drop In
a bucket compared to what they expect lo ship into our markets. It
is an absolute fact that American
factories have been increased to such
an extent for the past five years that

"What has built up the United
States if not a prpotectlve tariff?"
Had they accepted our overtures
some twenty years ago, before Canadian industries sprang into existence,
it. would have been a good thing for
this country at that time, but now,
never."
"Just look at your own marvelous
progress In this province and then
tell me if British Columbia is not
destined to become the greatest province not alone in Canada, but on the
whole American continent. Why,
then, should we sell ourselves in
commercial slavery and political
bondage and enter upon a. road that
must ultimately lead to worse; namely, annexation or consolidation?
Every Canadian should have sufficient pride, if not patriotism, to remain independent and coveted rather
than tied up by a pact that only
gives the other fellow a welcome
outlet for his products. For almost
fifty years the United States has
spurned our repeated advances, because she did not need us, and now
when he trust bosses deem it opportune, she is willing to admit 'dear
little Canada' into her markets, but
not until after having studied carefully her own and this country's commercial resources. It is by no means
a spontaneous outburst of unselfish
friendship that makes the United
States want to recognize us al this
late hour as a friendly neighbor with
whom she should trade in neighborly fashion, bul a mosl cold-blooded
and deep-laid political plot, or, as it
used to be called, more politely, a
coup d'etat to lure this country into
an alliance that must ultimately result in her severance from the
Mother Country.

I am a Liberal. I am independent In

nore than a most nonsensical vote-

The harvester trust has agents
everywhere, and insists upon them
all being ahle to speak Russian well,
so that they can explain the machinery and also chat and joke with
with possible purchasers. That Is In
Russia vastly important. More business is gained there by good-fellowship than anywhere else in the world.
The Germans understand this well.
They also realize that conditions
vary in different districts und require io be carefully examined.
"When an English traveler conies
here," 1 was told in one town, "he
seldom does much good, even if lie
can speak Russian, which is unlikely. For he only stays a day or two,
whereas German travelers settle
down for several weeks, get to know
everybody, and obtain a thorough

it pays a big business like that of
Messrs. Mather & Piatt lo keep an
office staff of nine in Moscow and
another firm as famous as John
Fowler s to circulate catalogues in
Russian and Polish, surely smaller
people with greater need of custom
might follow such excellent examples.
Much could be done, too, in this
way; it should be the business of
agents to persuade groups of small
holders to buy big machinery (e.g.,
reapers, threshers, seed drills) between them. This is done In Canada
and the United States. No doubt
co-operation would be more difficult
among Russians, who are extremely
suspicious, hut the advantages of
such a plan would soon become obvious.

England keeps up pretty well. I

an hour. This factory has Increased
Its output very largely In the last

What can English manufacturers
do, then, to avoid being squeezed out
of this market, which, during many
years to come will become more and
more profitable? A largo Polish
landowner whom I visited supplied
the answer. "Persuade your countrymen," he said, "to come to Poland
and build factories. We do nol wanl

her Polish subjects so badly. We
are admirers and friends of England,
and we should have more confidence
in the shares of an English company than a company of our own.

ANSWERS FIELDING
Sir Charles Tupper Meets the Position
Taken by the Minister of
Finance.
The Old Canadian Statesman Records
Himself us Against Reciprocity Agreement
Sir Charles Tupper has replied
to Hon. W. S. Fielding on the subject of reciprocity and in no uncertain way describes the action of the
Laurier government. The letter of
Sir Charles is as follows:
The Mount, Bexley Heath,
June 3, 1911
To the Honorable W. S. Fielding.
Sir—1 have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of May 2 6. As
you do not attempt to controvert the
main portions of my letter, yours
will require but little notice at my
hands.
Wilful Misstatements
I charged with a wilful misstatement in interpolating in the quotation of my reference to the tariff
you brought down the words "that
is the Laurier government tariff,"
when you knew that owing to the
injury which I proved it was inflict
ing, you, a month afterwards, sub-
stiuted another, saying, "I may say
we are proposing a number of
changes . . . We have desired to
meot the views of manufacturers who
complained they were severely affected by our resolutions. " But 1 need
not waste words in proving what you
still have the effrontery to deny,
that having denounced our protective
policy for years, you sold your principles and adopted our policy for
the the sake of obtaining and retaining power. It is not yet forgotten
that in the Laurier government tariff of 1897 you added a large increase to the tariff on goods coming
from England before you proposed
the illegal reduction of 12 1-2 per
cent.
You were forced to give the preference to Britisii goods, and as I
have shown, have since used every
means of impairing it until it is practically destroyed by your American
agreement.
Laurier's Bcnunciatioii
No one questions the long continued efforts to obtain reciprocal
trade with the United States, but
when you and your colleagues spent
six mouths with Lord Herschell at
your head he bewailed his fate by
saying to Mr. Pope, his private secretary, "Is it not too bad to waste
nothing but a broken leg?" When,
on your return, Sir Wilfrid Laurier
denounced on the floor of parliament
the action of the United States and
expressed determination to abandon
all such efforts, he was told by the
opposition that the whole house
would support him, and the standing offer of Canada was unanimously withdrawn. Under the policy then
then pursued Canada obtained a position that excited the envy of the
world. Her progress and prosperity
were unequalled In any other country.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier publicly proclaimed that no change in tariff
would be made without being carefully considered by a commission.
Pledges Violated
Could anyone, under these circumstances, believe that you would not
only, without any mandate, but In
violation of the public pledges of the'
government, go down to Washington
and make a secret treaty with President Taft to revolutionize the trade
between Canada and the United
States? Your government stood
pledged to the great Unionist party
in Greal Britain, Australia, New
Zealand and Soulh Africa to carry
out a policy of mutual preferential
trade,
President Tail's Fears
When the astounding fact is now
avowed thai Mr. Tafl is pressing
upon the Senate of the United State's!
that unless this agreement is prompt-
ratified, Greal Britain and her
of the world. This is not a question
of sentiment, and for my part I am
firmly convinced that the economic
interests of Canada lie with this continent, and it is on the broad basis of
continental freedom of trade that I
place the question."
Duty to Cumuli! and Empire
I am strengthened in the opinion
that I have only discharged an imperative duty to Canada and the Empire in sending you my open letter
of April by a letter from one of
the most able members of the House
of Commons who was present in 1897
and since, who says: "After carefully
pursuing your admirable letter to
Fielding, pray accept my warmest
congratulations. Your analysis of the
conditions and incidents to which he
alluded in bis Montreal speech is
searching and unanswerable, and
your criticism exposes his record in
the sinister light It most thoroughly
deserves."
Yours faithfully,
CHARLES TOPPER,
P. S.—I omitted to mention that
after strong pressure from me, you
largely increased the bounties on iron
and steel. I hope you have noticed
the declaration of Mr. Oliver, your
colleague, at Boston, a few days ago,
that your present tariff is one
"high protection."

wonder thai under these circumstances it is not forgotten that the
confederation of Canada was achieved in spite of your most determined
effort to prevent it, and that after
it had been in successful operation
for 19 years, you did your utmost to
break it. up, or that your leader, Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, when speaking at
Boston, November 10, 1890, said:
"Our object is, when there Is a Llb-

manufactured, provided tho United
Slates extend the same privilege to

The well preserved skeleton of
what appears to have been a dina-
saur, 30 to 40 feet long, and 15 to 18
feet In height, has been found in the
Palisades, opposite West 115th street.
The authorities of the American Museum of Natural History said the
discovery was the most interesting
and important of its character, both
from the popular and scientific viewpoint ever made eost of the Mississippi river.
The information that such a skeleton had been entombed in the rock
formation of which the Palisades are
a part was far more startling to
those at the museum, it was said,
than it is likely to be to the public.
Not a paleontologist at the museum,
from President Henry Fairfield Osborne down, ever for a moment hoped to add to the museum's rich collection of dinosaurs, the skeleton of
one of which almost beyond doubt
has walked and browsed or fed on
its prey where Broadway now is, and
possibly over the site of the museum
itslf.
The grat barren chalk lands of the
west have been the beds from which
the fossils of these prehistoric rep-
tils hav been taken. Scientists had
evidence in the shape of tracks in
the rocks that dinosaur once walked
both shores of the Hudson, and frolicked over what is now Manhattan
Island, but not so much as the fragment of a skeleton has been found
before.
The skeleton is of an animal which
lived probably 10,000,000 years ago,
and of had of course been living in
the rock In which it is embedded
ever since its death. It came first
to the notice of a half dozen Columbia students recently while they were
"geologizing" along the west bank of
he Hudson under the Palissades.
When the value of the discovery
became certain the problem of getting possession of the rock In which
the skeleton was encased and removing It to the museum was tackled.
It would hav been impossible to
chisel out the bones on the spot as
the shale is wet near the surface
and damp throughout with the result
that the 10,000,000 year old bones
would have disappeared the moment
the stone was cut from above them.
The entire block will have to be
brought to the museum and dried out
before much can be done toward getting the skeleton out,
Tin. dinosaur was of tlie [Izard
family, and Is described by Mr. Matthew as belonging to an order of fossil reptiles louud usually In rock of

The dinosaur may be Bald to have

a crocodile and an ostrich on a

assistant curator, In habits the dinosaur wns most terrestrial and amphibious, and the structure of its

graceful bird-like action, walking,

toed hind legs. Others were heavy,
clumsy beasts, walking or crawling
on their solidly built four legs. They
grey to larger size than any other
animals, which, so far as known,
have ever Inhabited the earth in any
of its periods. Some of them were
from 07 to 70 feet long 20 feet
high in natural position, and weighing 20 to 25 tons. Some were var-

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL
KING'S CHARACTER
T. P. O'Connor Deals With the New
Sovereign of the
Empire.
He Contrasts Him With His Late
Father and Queen
Victoria
Mr. T. P. O'Connor gives the following sketch of King George V,
which differentiates him from his
father:
An old courtier, writing for a publication of mine, and the old courtier
is very close to the present and to
the late king, suggests that King
George is a reversion to type, and
the type is the late Queen Victora.
He certainly has neither the carelessness, the joy of life, nor the bo-
bemian characteristics of his father,
and already society in England, and
especially certain sections of it have
had plain and even painful experience
of the change of mental attitude between the late and the present ruler.
Like Queen Victoria, his favorite
place is home; his family and wife
engross all his affection.
But this is only the beginning of
the difference between the two men.
The present king, as everybody
knows, was not the original heir to
the throne, and even in royalty the
younger son suffers from the disabilities which the law of primogeniture
inflicts on other of the higher
classes.
He never got the extraordinary
complete education from certain
points of view of his father. Probably one of the reasons is that
Prince Albert was so different a
parent from King Edward. Prince
Albert was a thorough German,'and
perhaps one might say, without flattery, a thoroughly good specimen of
the finer qualities of the race. He
had almost fierce respect for books
and study; and the result is that
perhaps the late king was over-educated, or at least overworked as a
youngster.
Anyhow, this brought him one immense advantage for the part he had
after to play in the life of his country, and was one of the reasons why
that part became so successful and
so momentous. He never could have
become the arbiter of Europe to the
extent he did if he had not been
able to speak to Frenchmen as If
he were a Frenchman and to Germans as if he had been born In Germany.
He spoke German, In fact, better
than he did English. Germans who
caught the tone of his conversation
as they passed him by in the Curgar-
ten of Marienbad used to say that
not only was his diction perfect, but
that the accent was equally so.
On tlie other hand, the accent of
King Edward in speaking English
was as markedly German as if he
had not been born at Windsor but
at Sans Souci. It may be that the
late king resented the severity of his
early training. There was a story
about him years ago, when he was
still Prince of Wales, which would
suggest that point of view. Charles
Matthews, a celebrated English comedian, long since dead, was then playing with great success an adaption
of one of the plays of Alexander Dumas, the younger. As everybody
knows, the great Alexander Dumas,
the father, was Ihe most jirodigal of
men, and after making millions, died
a pauper, while th son, also a maker
of -millions, was thrifty almost to
averlce, and the son fashioned a play
on this piquant contrast called "La
Pere Prodique." This Matthews
translated Into "My Awful Dad," and
all London went nightly for months
lo see the conflict between the serious son and the frivolous father.
It waB at that epoch that the
Prince of Wales paid a visit to the
splendid bul overgilt statue of his
father in Kensington Gardens, and
the gossips caught him saying, "My
awful dad," and, needless to say, all
London rang with the bon mot an
hour afterwards.
It will not be possible, then, for
King George to be the actual foreign
minister of England, as his father
tried to he before him. He has not
merely the want of the linguistic
knowledge necessary for such a part
but also lacks other and equally necessary qualities. His father was at
horn anywhere. Though he was not
a thinker nor a phrase maker, the
late king was a past master In all
small changes of social life.
He could say a pleasant word if
necessary to a hundred people In succession; he was never apparently
bored; ho not only did not resent
long and tedious ceremonials but he
positively enjoyed them, and he such
affability that he always left a pleasant impression.
King George will never be able to
exercise the social charm of his fa
ther. He is a shyer man, he has not
so much self-confidence, and, of
course, he has not so much knowledge of the world. The late king,
in the long years he was compelled
to wait for succession, had met all
sorts and conditions of men. He
had moved like a private citizen
through the great world of sport, a
world which even in England is the
most democratic that can be found,
the curbstone peddler who has risen
to be the gigantic bookmaker meeting on equal terms a duke of ancient
descent and boundless acres and even
the sovereign.
King George, on the other hand,
was rarely seen on a racecourse until he came to the throne, and it
Is doubtful If he ever would have
gone to a racecourse If his advisers
had not told him that this was one
of the functions In which an English
king was bound to affect if he did
not take an interest. For all these
reasons King George will never be
the popular social favorite that has
father was.
Nor will he ever be able to Imitate the ceaseless round of dinners
in which has father took delight. He
has a delicate digestion, while his father used to say that he was bound
to be a great eater. His ancestors in
Hanover were remarkable even there
of his health, the care which he has
always to take at the table, makes
more ridiculous,the story which was
popular some years ago, as popular
as the story of the alleged marriage
at Malta, that he is given to drink.
The story wounded King George
so much that he actual! ytook pains
to deny it. Once it is said, when
he was sitting for his portrait, he
made laughingly the remark that if
his nose was red it was from indigestion and not from drink. These
things are all to his credit, but they
are the kind of habits which make
him unpopular with the small sa-
ciety and the high and loose livers
generally, and these are taking badly
their eclusixon from the palace in
which under the other conditions
they were welcome and regular
guests.
On the other hand the vast mass
of the country, which is serious and
sober, rather like the change, and
already people are beginning to say
that the new regime is better than
the old.
In other points the king of today
has advantages over him of yesterday. He is a much more traveled
monarch for one thing. The late
king knew the Continent perfectly,
but this son knows the Empire still
better. There is scarcely a country
under its wide domain which he has
not visited. This has made him to
some extent suspected by Liberals.
Imperialism has come to be, and under the influence of the high tariff
party which Chamberlain brought
back from the grave, preferential
tariff between ngland and the colonies.
Now, the Liberal party will never
consent to even touch protection in
any shape or form. To Liberals all
tariffs are the unclean thing. On
that point they are united to a man;
It Is one of the convictions which
they cannot admit to even the approach to a compromise. And therefore Liberals looked with some apprehension to the advent of an imperialist king. And the peril remains
that if the high tariff party should
ever come into power in England
(there seems no posslbllty of that
for the moment) they would find
an ally in the king.
On the other hand, King George
is an Imperialist In the good as well
as the bad sense of the word. He
has seen self-government at work in
all the dominions; he has seen the
gigantic success in his own day of
the extension of that principle to
Soulh Africa, and therefore the pacification of Ireland would fit In well
wiih his views with regard to the
unification of the Empire.
He has from the first moment
made no concealment of his strong
hope und desire that Ireland should
be reconciled to England and to tho
dynasty. I believe he was anxious
at, the beginning of his reign that a
royal residence should be established
In Ireland, conscious of the neglect
that his family and especially his
grandmother had shown Irish sentiment.
It would not have been a wise
project for the time; it might have
done more harm than good. The Irish
people are not to be diverted from
their resolution to have liberties embodied in an Irish parliament by sentimental concessions, and they would
be more inclined to resent than to
welcome a royal residence until it
was the residence of a king ruling
over a self-governed country. But
the suggestion was a mark of good
feeling.
Of course, it would be an exaggeration to say that the king will carry
home rule, but I have little doubt
that when the decisive moment comes
he will lend no countenance to the
^

PLAN GREAT WORKS
The Indian Nines Limited on Salmon
River is Promising Well
With Depth.
G. A. Clothier Has Small Force
Work Until Roads Are
Built
"The Hidden Creek mine , on
Goose Bay, Observatory inlet, in the
northern part of British Columbia,
has proved to be so much bigger
and richer a property than we conceived when we took a bond on 80
per cent of its capital stock that wc
have had to revolutionize our plans
for the operation of our property,"
said .lay 1'. Craves, vice president
and general manager of the Granby
Consolidated .Mining and Smelting
and Power Company, recently in Spokane.
"When we took hold of the property our intention was to work it in
connection with the Grand Forks
smelter and to equip it with a small
matting plant. This intention is definitely abandoned, but exactly how
we shall equip and operate the prop-
ery will not be determined for two or
three months. This much is certain
however, that any plant which Is
erected to treat its ores wl'l have
an intial capacity of not less than
2,000 tons a day.
"Prior to the New York meeting
of directors, at which it was decided
take up our bond on the Hidden
Creek, six engineers examined the
property for us. Their reports showed from 6,000,000,000 to 12,000,-
000 tons of ore in sight. This
proved it to be at least as big a
property as our Phoenix mines and
put the matter of handling its product at our Grand Forks plant entirely out of the question.
"Most of our development work
to date has been by means of diamond drills and this work we are
following up, just as has been our
custom at Phoenix, as rapidly as possible, with tunnels, drifts and crosscuts.
"The best results we obtained
came from diamond drill No. 19,
19, which showed an ore body 300
feet wide, which averaged more than
G per cent in copper.
"With a view to determining
where the smelter will be located
whether at the mine, Prince Rupert
or some other point on the coast
our consulting engineer, W. Y. Williams, now is in northern Britisii
Columbia investigating the available
ore supply from other mines in that
section and Alaska.
"In the meantime we are endeavoring to ascertain from the Tyee
and Tacoma smelters what kind of
contracts they are willing to enter
into for the treatment of our Hidden Creek ore. If we can make satisfactory arrangements we may postpone the erection of our own plant
for a year year or two.
"The surprising results obtained
from our development work to date
is responsible for the purchase it
the Rodgers interest, which We did
not at first take under bond. Now,
however, the entire property belongs
to the Granby company. O. B.
Smith, hitherto superintendent of our
Phoenix mine, lias been appointed
superintendent of the Hidden Creek
mine, witli an assistant at each
mine.
"i expect to make another trip
nortli in about a month's time, when
Messrs. Williams, Sylvester and
Smith will have accumulated a good
.leal of data. It is possible that we
may he enabled very soon therafter
io determine, ai least roughly, what
the policy of the company will be
a lead stack to the copper smelter
at Trail, B. C, which it had bought
from F. Augustus Heinze, American
ore buyers ceased to canvass that
country. The restrictions imposed
by the McKinley tariff bill had something to do with discouraging the
importation into this country of Canadian lead to be smelted in bond and
re-exported. Now, however, the native supply of lead ore, which Is not
controlled by the trust smelters, is
so inadequate to meet the independent smelters' needs, that another invasion of the Britisii Columbia field
is being planned.
Several Spokane people, who control silver-lead mines in British Columbia, lately have been approached
hy agents of one or other of the Independent smelters in the United
States, with offers to contract for
their output, and one of the smelting concerns at least has undertaken
to furnish a market for zinc as well
as for lead.
Ilritish Columbia mining men assert that the Canadian Pacific smelter at Trail, the on1 ■ lead smelter in
Canada, has been e I urging execesslve
rates for freight and treatment, besides gouging them outrageously on
settlements, which are based on the
London price for lead, less the alleged cost of putting the bullion in
the London market. As a matter of
fact, all the lead produced in Canada
and a good deal more is consumed
in that country; consequently, the
mine owners think that settlement
should be made on the wholesale
price in Montreal, Instead of on the
wholesale price in London.
In order to try and bring about
more equitable treatment by t he
Trail smelter the Britisii Columbia
mine owners are endeavoring to
form an organization on the lines of
a farmers' union, with the object of
marketing the entire output of all
the mines through one agent. American ore buyers are watching with a
great deal of interest in the hope
that they may be able to enter the
Canadian market and capture the entire lead ore supply, which is not
controlled, through ownership by
the Trail smelter.
The only extra cost to which an
American smelter is put in treating
bonded ores is the salary of a resident United States customs official,
usually in the neighborhood of $200
per month. An effort now is being
made to secure favorable freight
rates.
Beam made a number of trips to
the Nugget. The present examination and sampling is being conducted by Walter H. Wiley of Los Angeles, one of the most eminent of
American engineers.
Mr. Beam organized the syndicate
which took up the bond on the Nickle
Plate mine at Hedley about two
years ago, since when the property
has proved one of the best paying
mines in Canada. His entry into
Sheep Creek is regarded by local
mining men as of the greatest significance to the camp.

lay P. Graves Tells of the Surprise
Which Hidden Creek Gave
Them
At the Empress Theatre last even
ing under the charge of Dr. Slocum,
a very interesting series of moving
pictures were <hown. The entertainment took tlie form of a travelogue,
Dr. Slocuni acting as guide.. The
pictures were taken by W. H. Har-
beck and were a magnificent collection. It included a trip by the
C. P. R. from Vancouver to Calgary
with side trips into the 10I10 Valley and Banff.
Another series gave the audience
a visit to California, and another a
trip with mountain climbers on
Mount Rainier.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier's reception at
the different cities from Calgary to
Victoria were included In the number and proved exceedingly interesting. The prominent citizens of Vancouver and Victoria were readily distinguishable. The reception by the
provincial ministers at the dock at
Victoria and the reception given by
the lieutenant governor at Government House proved attractive, non.
T. W. Paterson and Mrs. Paterson,
with the distinguished company present were all easily identified in the
crowd.
Another attractive film was one
brought right down to date. It was
the coronation parade at Victoria.
All who attended the two entertainments last night were delighted
and the only lament was that they
were not to be repeated. The programme takes two full hours to
put on.
Dr. Slocuni has managed to have
Mr. Harbeck visit Prince Rupert. He
will reach here next Saturday and
will take a series of motion pictures
here along the line of the G. T. P.
as far as Hazelton and probably beyond. These will be shown later all

Mi-i'i Demands

So great Is the demand for lead
ores and concentrates on the part of
American smelters that for the first
time in several years owners of galena mines In southern Britisii Columbia are heing canvassed for ore
e'ontracts, says a Spokane despatch.
In the early 90s all of the lead
ore produced in British Columbia
was shipped to American smelters.
At that time there was no lead trust
and there was charp competition for
ore supplies between all the principal competitors, which at that time
included smelters at Everextt and
Tacoma in Washington, Denver Omaha and Kansas City. Each of these
plants usually had resident ore buyers in the Inland Empire, and some
Of them mainlined local agencies In

G. A. Clothier spent several days
at the Indian Mines, Ltd. property
on Salmon River last week and Is
very much encouraged with the development so far, says a Stewart correspondent. The cut under the big
surface galena showing has just
reached the ore at a depth of twenty-
fice feet and the face is now in solid
ore. The width of this ore body'
will be proven at this depth with a
crosscut. About 450 feet from this
galena showing and about 200 feet
vertically down the hill a tunnel is
being driven. This is now In fifty
feet, running through surface wash
up to the last two rounds, when
the vein was struck, and it will be
a matter of only a few rounds until
the whole face will be in the solid.
Drifting will be continued in the vein
to get under the galena mentioned
above.
Mr. Clothier could work many men
on ibis property but on account of
no horse trails and consequent difficulty in getting supplies in will not
increase the present force of five
men.
BUYING AT SHEEP GREEK
Syndicate That Controls
Plate at Hedley
Interested
the
Is
Nickel
That T. W.liter Beam of Denver,
Col., who represents a syndicate of
capitalists which holds a controlling
interest in the Hedley Gold Mining
Company, which operates the famous
Nickel Plate mine, is in negotiations
for the purchase of the Nugget Mine
at Sheep Creek, is the anouncement
made at Nelson. Mr. Beam has secured an option on the property until September 1 next and then If the
examination and sampling of the
mine which is now in progress proves
satisfactory, the bond will be consummated for a sum in excess of
any yet paid for a Sheep Creek
mine.
Before the option was taken Mr.
The subject of an extension to the
water system across Hays Creek
came in before the council at last
night's sitting. It arose in connection with a petition for water beyond
the present, limits of the supply in
the direction of Ambrose street.
Aid. Hilditch thought if the water
system was to be extended something
like a systematic extension should
be made so as to avoid waste.
Aid. Douglas thought they should
do ahead with this extension on Ambrose street.
Aid. Hilditch said he did not believe there were six houses beyond
Donald street. It was all very
well to talk about extending the system but they should avoid wasting
money.
Aid. Newton contended that there
were people moving to the outskirts
because it was cheaper to ''ve there.
These should be given fullei service.
Aid. Douglas said he "substantiated" Aid. Newton.
Aid. Hilditch said if the houses
Aid. Newton had referred to were
not supplied with water he would
have been fighting for them. Aid.
Newton was altogether wrong. The
only building he saw below where
water was supplied is the English
Church, which is nearly all roof.
It was referred to the water committee.
"I don't see any sense in referring
to the wisdom of Solomon," said the
man smartly.
"He had a thousand wive.
"Yes," answered the woman tartly, "he learned his wisdom from
them."

An Irishman was recently traveling a train accompanied by a minister, when two very stout old ladies
entered the compartment. They
placed themselves one on each side
of Patrick, and he was much crushed
between them.
The minister, on see Pat so placed,

To this question Pat quickly replied: "Sure, sorr, Oi haven't much

not favor making any difference.
The men who were in the game were
probably fined enough but the man
who owned the premises got off
free. He was going to find out how
he was immune.
The city solicitor pointed out that
there was an information laid. The
trouble was that there was not a
tittle of evidence against him. That
was the only reason why he had not
been proceeded against.
Aid. Clayton said he did not know
the full facts of course but he did
not propose to ha^e any one immune
and who boasted he was solid with
the authorities and could not be interfered with.
H,s worship said that as far as this
statement was concerned he would
like to see the man that had any
pull with the commissioners. He was
not going to sit and take any insinuations such as Aid. Clayton threw
out. He wanted any member of the
council or any citizen who thought
there was anything of the kind to
produce the name of the party. He
had publicly and privately instructed
the police time and time again to
see that the laws were lived up to.
There was no one who was given protection in violating the law. These
insinuations were not in good form.
Aid. Clayton said he did not single
out any single commissioner. He
felt, however, that if the magistrate
would not do his duty he should be
dismissed.
Aid. Newton said he would not
mince matters. He did not charge
anything against the commissioners.
He would name Police Magistrate
Carss. The police magistrate had no
right to ask the chief of police why
he brought these prosecutions without consulting him.
Aid. Douglas believed the law was
being violated by the hote's at present. It looked to him as if there
was illegal selling.
The city solicitor, being present,
was asked to explain the situation.
He said that there was no protection
shown to any one. Under the Dominion act under which the informations were laid it was necessary for
the chief of police, before a raid was
made, to get the sanction of a police
commissioner or the magistrate. This
was not done by the chief and so
he had exceeded the limits in that
regard. Mr. Peters said he did not
hear Magistrate Carss say anything
about it. He might properly enough
have called attention to this. The
magistrate certainly did not reprimand the chief.
Mr. Peters traced the history of
the case, where the evidence Is very
clear and the accused pleaded guilty.
The one who was running the game
was fined $50. He (Mr. Peters) had
pressed for imprisonment and in his
opinion such a punishment might
well have been meted out. The magistrate saw difficulty, however. He
was not there to say the magistrate
was wrong. Those who had been
in the place twice were fined $20
each and those who were shown to
have been there but once got off with
$15. These fines, he felt, were sufficient. As far as the case against
the man who owned the house was
concerned, there was no evidence
that would convict him.
It was decided to have the solicitor's report put in writing.

PLEASED WITH COUNTRY
V. W.
Smith Sees a Brighter Future
for the Interior of
Province
Vernor W. Smith has returned
from a trip to Hazelton. He was
accompanied by Mrs. Smith and his
cousin, Miss Smith, of Victoria, who
is visiting at his home, and by his
son Walter. The latter has remained at Hazelton for a few weeks.
In spite of the fact that Mr.
Smith has been identified with the
Foley, Welch & Stewart Company
with headquarters here for so long
this was his first trip to the Interior.
He has returned more than delighted with the country. Above
Hazelton, he thinks there are great
possibilities In a farming way. Some
fear has been expressed that there
would be summer frosts that would
interfere with operations. Of these,
Mr. Smith has no such fears. He
thinks that all danger from these
will pass with the clearing of the
land and general cultivation.
At the present time the country
looks splendid with fields of hay and
cereals. The fruits are ripening and
the whole country looked exceedingly good to him.
The fruit sections along the route
appealed to Mr. Smith and he looks
forward to a very rapid settlemnt.

Good, Sound Reasons for
MONARCH Economy
Monarch Ranges are built so that they can
never have "air leaks"—
For around every opening into the body there
is a Malleable Iron frame to which the
steel is riveted.
No putty is needed in such joints. They are
air tight when new and stay air tight.
If these other ranges were built in this way
they might be economical too.
Investigate this matter of rivet construction
versus stove bolts and stove putty. It's
important to every one using or buying
