NO. 146, BUILDING ANOTHER COLD STORAGE PLANT Haysport is About Ready to Begin the Handling of Fish on a Large Scale-Buildings Have Been Erected and Wharves Provided for the Enterprise- Will Start Up in a Few Days Time. No visitor to this city can fail to be impressed with the fact that it is to be a fishing centre of the very first importance.- One of the latest of the companies to get in shape for the industry is the one at Haysport on the Skeena opposite the town of Port Essington. For months past the company, backed up by Old Country capital, as well as British Columbia investors, has been making ready for the packing and the handling of the fish that are to find their way to this station. Quite a staff is already on the ground ready for the opening of active operations, which will begin in a few days now. It is not, of course, pretended that the works will be run to its full capacity at first. Additions will be made to it and by the time the G. T. P. has its railway running there will be a plant capable of handling an immense amount of fish at that point. QUARANTINE WHARF Work on this Undertaking will Likely Begin Very Soon-Engineer Here to Locate it. Landing Place for Inspection of Vessels From Foreign Ports "Will Be Constructed at Digby Island The work of constructing the quarantine wharf will be commenced here in a very short time. W. B. Gauvreau, the representative engineer of the department of public work 's In the city for the purpose of definitely locating the lines in connection with the work which will be on Digby Island between the bays upon which the marine depot is situated and the one upon which the quarantine hospital is built. There will follow the erection of the wharf, the placing of detention sheds and other necessary buildings in the locality. The quarters for the doctor in charge will, it is expected, be started at any early date so as to have all in readiness for the opening up of the trade with foreign ports which must come immediately after the completion of the G. T. P., or even before that time. o RICH ORE FOUND Salmon mill Rear Itivw Company Reported lo Have Made Valuable Find on Their Property From Ihe Salmon River section conies the most Important mining news of the week in a new discovery of from nine to fifteen feet of galena ore on the properly of the Salmon-Bear River Mining Company, says the Porl land Canal Miner. Of the find. Foreman Pat Daly, who is In charge of ihe development, writes the Miner: "The property is looking fine. 1 made a new discovery nr solid galena ore, apparently of good grade. II is the largest surface showing I have yet seen stripped in British Columbia of this character of ore. It is from nine to fifteen feet in width in different places. I cut into 11 along the trend of the lead and it has all the earmarks of being a permanent body. Have Btarted a tunnel on the showing." The shipping will be by the railway line when all is equipped as well as by steamer and the plant has been planned for this object. It is situated right on the line of the track. The freezing and cold storage building is placed between the wharf and the railway tracks so as to allow of the utilization of either methods of shipment. The taking in of the raw material in the way of fish will of course be by way of the water. Between the building and the car tracks is space enough to allow for the putting in of tracks to allow for loading the finished product for shipping to all parts of the world. A very substantial wharf has been built, jutting far out into the water. One advantage that the company has in the location that has been selected is that it is on fresh water and accordingly the toredoes do not affect the piles. There is, therefore, no preservative necessary in getting the piles for the wharf and there is also the additional saving of not having to replace these every few years. This in Indeed a very Important feature and one that the company expects will give them no small advantage in the business in which they are launching Into. On the wharf is an iron storeroom where the stock is received and held for shipment. At the present time the company has a stock of herring on hand there to be used for bait in the operations of the concern. The freezing and main storage plant Is situated nearer the railway. The building is practically completed. It is a one-storey structure, with walls specially constructed to prevent the conduction of any heat into the place, thus keeping the temperature uniform. In Ihis building there is provision made for the quick freezing of the fish and adjoining it are rooms for the storage in cold rooms for an immense amount of material. There is the provision in the building for the making of ice to be used by the company in its own work in stocking the steamers that are to be used in the taking of the fish on the banks, and for retail trade if that is deemed advisable to cater to. There is a capacity of thirty-five tons a day of manufac- j tured ice in the works, while the storage capacity reaches several times that amount. The company, however, realizes that, situated as it is, too far from any centre like Prince Rupert, there must be provision made for ihe taking care of those who are to be employed about the place in the carrying on of the great undertaking that they have In view. Accordingly the,re has been erected a three-storey hotel on the town- site containing twenty-eight bedrooms and all Ihe oilier necessary accommodation for the inking care of the public, This building Is nenr-: ing completion and will lie ready In a few days for occupation, it Is < a substantially built place, finished in (lie very best of style. It has' ASK RESIGNATIONS All the Engineer's Department will Be Requested to Retire from Posts. Council Will Then Take Steps to Replace Required on the Permanent Staff At the council meeting last night the report of the special committee that considered questions in private session was presented. It was set forth that the resignations of the whole of the engineer's department should be called for; that the clerk's salary should remain the same, although an amendment was introduced at the secret meeting to increase it. Alderman Morrissey said there was another amendment relative to 1 lie engineer's department that should be set forth if these others were. The mayor contended that no motion was put. Alderman Montgomery did not ROCK CLEARING Offer Made to Have City Excavate From McLeod Lots for Sum of $5,000. City Council Decides to Refuse the Offer—Engineer Opposed to doing Into Such Business An offer was received by the city council last evening relative to clearing the McLeod lots of rock at the corner of Second Avenue and Fifth Street. The offer was to have the city clear the lots to eighteen inches below grade, the city taking all rock as to damage to building, the owner to pay $5,000 cash upon the completion of the work. Alderman Clayton favored referring this to the city engineer and the works committee, with power to act. Alderman Bullock-Webster endorsed the move. It might be possible then to cancel the arrangement for blasting out the rock near Market Place. This latter proposition think that any motions except those would be costly and it might be carried should be put forward. He ■ found that it would be advantageous did not propose to go into all these to act on this offer, personalities again nor bring the pro-!

Morrissey Resigns Chairmanship of the Public Works Committee-He will Serve on no Committee He Says- Aid. Dybhavn Selected move then that Mr. Macon, Mr. Bratt and Mr. Parker be retained The motion censuring the mayor and finance committee for cancelling the order for the new team of horses without the consent of the rest of the council was defeated at the council last night on the casting vote of the mayor. The second resolution of censure for cutting off work on the public utilities was allowed to be withdrawn on the introduction of an amendment that the finance committee be increased lo include every member of the council. Alderman .Morrissey thereupon resigned his post as chairman of the public planking on Third Avenue, he had taken part in a conversation on the street. He had not approved of carrying out the work of devoting funds in different ways. Alderman Montgomery did not feel like getting excited over the financial situation in the city. There was nothing serious. The team could have been bought, he fell, out of the hydro-electric. He favored the council going into committee of the whole to deal with the finances. The finance committee was not perfect by any means. He thought it The engineer said that the main argument against this was that it J ment had frustrated the aim of the public works committee in completing Third Avenue. lie would not stand for any such course.

Alderman Douglas said .there was no discourtesy Intended. They had not the money to purchase the horses. Alderman Kerr said he understood I thai the horsi were to be purchased fishing rules must be observed. Two gasoline launches plying in the vicinity of the .Vans were seized by Ihe officer and Ihe little vessels taken to Port Simpson, where they were turned river to the customs officer. There have been many complaints that smuggling of gasoline engines Into the country about Port land Canal is followed. These two aunclies that were seized had United States engines In them and not having paid duty were seized. In one of the rivers he suddenly came upon an attempt to block the river, preventing the fish from ascending to the spawning ground. The work was clearly thai of Indians. Capt. Newcombe at once proceeded to have the barriers broken down and made the Indians do il Iheinselves. SATURDAY'S BASEBALL SENTENCED TO HANG Vernon, May 20.—Albert MacDougall, found guilty of shooting and killing his cousin, David MacDougall, last winter during a spree following a quarrel, has been senteneced to hang August 9. pearance and at the same time there has been no trouble spared to make it warm and comfortable for the winter. It is lo be equipped In the most modern way in every respect and will be maintained in the best of order. The management realizes also that there must be accommodation in other ways than in the hotel. Accordingly the townsite at the base of the mountain has been laid out and there are about t500 lots platted and ready for sale. The townsite is limited In size and while the rom- pany Is not putting on snle a speculative townsite there is provision made whereby those who require building quarters will be sold them.

Tuesday, .May 21, 191: SEWER PROPOSAL Hurst Pipe Allows Sewage to Through and Hun Down Open Drain ,eak Owing to the fact that the sewer is burst on Second Avenue, allowing sewage to drain out into the runway which crosses McBride Street near the corner of Third Avenue it is suggested thai the use of the sewer be discontinued. The health officer expressed fear of trouble if it were continued. The opinion of the city solieiior was also given, in j condition which lie expressed the opinion that j an apple without asking Mr. Clancy pole line could be used for carrying a high voltage wire and thus be included as part of the hydro-electric scheme. But there seemed a doubt now upon this point also. Alderman Morrissey recalled the fact that on the platform at election time the mayor had admitted that although a member of the finance committee last year, he knew nothing about how it was run. He had come to the conclusion that he (the mayor) knew' no more this year, and that the other members of the finance committee were in tlie same The city could not buy ENLARGED COMMITTEE AI the council meeting last nigh! the decision was reached to enlarge the finance committee instead of censuring It. Under the new arrangement the committee includes all the members of the council, which er- tainly makes the body large enough. It is doubtful if the increasing of a body to that size can work much good. The committee under ordinary circumstances is unwieldy and there is no question that three good men can under ordinary circumstances accomplish better work in committee than can a body as large as that selected. At, the same time there was a considerable portion of the council that did not have confidence in the whole of the committee that had charge of the finances. The election of a larger body was in reality a vote of want of confidence In the old committee just as much as the original motions were. The results from the increased numbers will be watched with interest. that was quite a serious matter. Alderman Morrissey felt that the city had a right to prohibit Hie use of the sewer. The city solicitor suggested that they have the users of this sewer discontinue and then be given a chanci 'I putting in a sewer on tlie I in] rovement plan. o A Correction Alderman Bullock-Webster wishes io correct, two typographical errors thai occurred in ihe statements as io tlie bylaws that were given the Journal by him. One has to do with the city hall bylaw. The cost of $30,000, he said, was exclusive of furniture, instead of being made to read inclusive of furniture. In connection with electric bylaw, an addition making $65,000 is read as giving $66,000. VERY SUDDEN DEATH (Continued From Page One) FISHING CENTRE The increasing amount that is being invested in the fishing industry in this part of the province is a guarantee that Prince Rupert is to be the greatest fishing centre in Canada at least. The Skeena River is fast taking the place of the Fraser as the great producer of salmon and there is little doubt it will soon surpass the southern river in this line. But in additiou to this the city and the environs of it are to be the homes of all kinds of fish-curing and packing establishments. With the building of these there will develop other industries allied to it. That of shipbuilding will become an important accessory and when the G. T. P. yards for ship-building are completed they will be in demand for the construction of a tremendous number of fishing craft of all sizes. HOSPITAL MATTERS city Council Is .Manifesting Deep Interest in the Institution Now taking parlors of E. L. Fisher. Ar rangeinents are being made for Hie taking of the remains to Seattle, where the interment will take place. The deceased was a native of Scotland but had lived a large part of his life in the United States. For a number of years he resided on the Pacific Coast, making Seattle his headquarters. Many large contracts were carried out by him and following the securing of this one here for the drydock for the G. T. P. he had also tendered and expected to secure a very large contract from the C. P. R. in Vancouver. He is survived by Mrs. Dow and five children. Of these three lived here, being quite young. Two married daughters reside in Seattle. A brother of the deceased was associated with him in the work here. PERSONALS Last evening at the council a letter from the hospital hoard was read selling fortli that all indigent patients from tlie city were being treated free of charge. Alderman Bullock-Webster wanted to know what "free of charge'1 meant. Did ii mean thai tlie city did not have to pay for medical treatment. The mayor said ii meanl free of charge to the city. Alderman Bullock-Webster wanted to know how ii was thai iho city was being charged in a particular case W. J. Leary of Skidegate was a passenger to the Quteen Charlotte Islands yesterday. R. H. Bell, who has been in from Stewart for a few weeks, has returned to the city. H. S. Clements, M. P., has gone south again after a busy few days in the city looking after the interests of the' city and the district as representative. He will return to the city about July 1. o WHOLE COUNCIL TO AID AS FINANCIERS (Continued From Page One) Last year they never heard Mr. Clancy's name mentioned. Alderman Bullock-Webster said he admitted that the name of Mr. Clancy should not be dragged in in a personal way. Alderman Montgomery said he was not goiiig to defend tlie finance committee. At the same time, he could not see that any good could be done by passing this. In amendment to the motion he moved that all the members of tlie council should be made members of ihe finance committee until this crisis was passed. Alderman Dybhavn said he would vote for it in order to obtain more information. The mayor said that Mr. Clancy had told him that he always obtained all the information he desired from the clerk or from himself (the mayor). Mr. Sweeney had told himself and the solicitor in Vancouver that the city of Prince Rupert was going too fast. He pleaded that they should not pass this resolution, as it would give the information to the world that the council had not confidence in the finance committee. He asked them to vote this down, not to screen anyone, but to show the world that the members of the council were working in harmony. Alderman Clayton felt that if Alderman Douglas came to the council in his proper clothing be would come in swaddling clothes. Alderman Maitland said that it was characteristic of places In British Columbia that they got all the money they wanted the first year but the second and third years it was cut off from the work. Alderman Morrissey, upon the motion to make the finance committee a committee of the whole, carrying, stated that he would no longer serve as chairman of thje public works committee when their duties were to usurped. Now that the mayor and the finance committee had taken the a work out of his hands he would tender his resignation as chairman, and would not act on any committee. The mayor suggested Alderman Dybhavn but the latter wanted an older member of the council named. His name was allowed to stand, however.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL OIL FUEL AND PANAMA CANAL Oil Tapping iu Latin-American States Lead to Expectation That Oil Will He Substituted for Coal As the Panama Canal nears completion a great deal is heard of oil tappings in various parts of Latin- America and the West Indies. Reports of rich oil strikes are becom ing so frequent that one is beginning to include the use of oil as a substitute for coal in the general revolutionary changes that are confidently expected to he wrought by the canal. There certainly is excellent ground for the assumption that, the powerful companies, chiefly English and American, that are developing the oil fields in the more or less close proximity of the canal and along the line of travel, will make every conceivable effort to get control of the fuel supply to the merchant fleets passing through the locks. Trinidad, one of the most famous of Britain's island possessions, appears to anticipate not only a complete revival, of its one-time prosperity, but, indeed, a new era in which Port of Spain shall become one of the great shipping centres of the world—sometning like the Hongkong of the west. Its situation on the route both of the European and South American traffic to or from the Panama Canal would seem to justify a good part of the enthusiasm with which the people of the island, and loyal subjects of King George, regard their vast resources of petroleum, taken together with the excellent and various harbor facilities, and its sheet of landlocked water whose expanse, protected north and south, is easily defended and of great strategic value. Important as this prospect is to the shipping of the world, it is still more significant perhaps from the point of view of stimulating development of the Spanish republics grouped about the Caribbean, notably the opening up of Venezuela and Colombia, both of which countries have valuable oil fields. Colombia, like Ecuador, also has good coal deposits at fairly accessible points, a circumstance which is likely to emphasize the oil fuel propaganda. It will be interesting to watch the commercial and industrial developments which, though unconnected with the construction of the canal, are nevertheless sure to grow out of the canal route, forming an entirely new centre of activity in the American tropics. Oil fuel in Trinidad, as a substitute for coal, is being gradually introduced in local enterprises, notably the sugar mills, resulting in greater economy as well as efficiency. The oil resources of that island are very considerable, as may be seen from the asphalt deposits of the La Brea pitch lake, to form which it has been calculated some 40,000,- 000 tons of petroleum were required. This, however, has not exhausted even the oil near the lake, the shipments of oil from that vicinity being more than 25,000 tons in January, February and March. Of other deposits on the island, that* of the Oilfields Company at Port Fort in has proved a particularly rich tap. Owing to these oil strikes, the question of land ownership has come up for discussion, as Ihe crown still owns the island, and thereby controls the oil resources of the undeveloped area. The goverenment of the colony, it Is believed, will shortly define Its policy iiitjregard to the new industry, which not only helps the sugar Industry, luil promises to give Trinidad a commanding position in the shipping thai will pass through the Panama Canal. ON INDIAN RESERVES Those Who "Are Making Homes on the Lands of tlie Aborigines Are Warned to Quit A. M. Tyson, the inspector of Indian agencies for this northern part of the province, has gone south, after a visit to the interior points in company with Indian Officer "Pat" Phillipson. On this visit to the interior the inspector caused a good deal of commotion in Hazelton by reason of his orders relative to the removal of white men from the Indian reserve. The instructions of the Indian department are to allow no residences of white men on the reserves. In ordering them off at Hazelton as well as at other points the inspector was but carrying out the instructions of the department. The residents of Hazelton. however, seem to have viewed the situation with a good deal of alarm. It docs not seem to be likely I hat there is any trouble to follow. M. M. STEPHENS & CO., LTD. ASK RESIGNATIONS I Continued From Page One) Alderman Clayton took exception to the stand of Alderman Morrissey. The latter proposed to dismiss the chief engineer and retain others. The chief engineer was the man, he felt, above all, that should be retained. He thought the chief engineer should be allowed to finish the work he started. The amendment to retain the three was lost, only Aldermen Morrissey and Dybhavn voting for it. A motion to call for the resignation of all the members of the engineer's staff was carried. * The proposal had been made by Alderman Clayton that 'a bylaw be introduced fixing the salary increases from yeaer to year. Alderman Montgomery thought the position taken by Alderman Clayton was that he favored an increase to the clerk; then it was reduced; then it was to be raised again in part. It was a peculiar position. Alderman Clayton argued it was a proper course. It showed a man exactly what he was to get. The report was adopted and it was decided to call for all resignations by June 15. Earlier in the evening a letter was read from Mr. Mason denying the report that he had offered to fill the post for $3,000 a year. Alderman Morrissey was sorry that such a matter as this should come up. He had asked Mr. Mason If he would accept the position if it were vacant. Mr. Mason had said he would not be an applicant unless the post became vacant. He had said that he would not accept the position at a salary of $3,000. Alderman Montgomery had never said anything to indicate that he favored Mr. Mason for the position. o — E. W. Richards of Port Simpson is in the eiTy.

LABOR DECISION Privy Council Decides Against the Contention of the British Columbia Courts on Point. Dependents Living Outside Province WIU Be Able to Benefit Under Workmen's Compensation Act Fernit, May 20.—The news has been received here by the officials of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company stating that the company lost Its appeal before the Privy Council in the case of Kraus vs. Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company. The news given is great satisfaction to the miners, who now have established the right of foreign dependents to benefit under the Provincial Workmen's Compensation Act. The decision is one of the most Important in the labor annals in the province. A dozen more cases are awaiting in the courts for the result of the appeal. The decision releases $S0,000 of deferred awards under the ruling of the British Columbia Courts. o BIRTH On May 6, at Potterville, Mich., there was a son born to Mr, and Mrs. A. F. Rowe.

Summer Hospital The Port Essiugton General Hospital, under the superintendent of Dr. Large of Port Simpson, will open shortly for the fishing season.

There will be other steamers for the trawling business built as fast as the demand is created and before long there will be a large fleet of these craft. As time goes on it is the intention, it is said, to have other stations equipped in different parts of this fish producing part of the coast and at all of these there will be a supply of al! kinds put up to feed the millions that are anxious to have the product of these waters. Marvels in the way of development have already been accomplished. The waters of this northern coast are becoming studded with all kinds of craft engaged in this work of catching and curing fish.
