City City Engineer AVI II Prepare « Report At Once so us to Allow the Work to ISrgin The city council has the proposition for rough grading all of section one, which comprises the business portion of the city, well advanced. The city engineer has been asked to prepare a detailed report after which the bylaw will be prepared and promulgated. The policy of the council is to have no unnecessary delay hut to commence work just as soon as it can be got In shape, it will be possible to have gangs working in different parts of the city and a large force will thus be employed. Last evening the streets committee of the council presented its final report on the proposition, which was as follows:— "In the matter of the grading of streets In Section one: "Your committee beg to report that in looking into the matter we find it advisable to proceed with this improvement as soon as possible. The cost of having the work done in the immediate future will be much less than it will be if postponed to some late date. The entire district is of sufficient value to justify the necessary expenditure. "We would recommend that in addition to the work of grading the streets that has been considered in , the engineer's report, that tho coun- fcil also include in this work of local improvement the grading of Oren- ville Court for its entire length, and Biggar Place from ils intersection with Third avenue to the eastern corner of lot 1, block 30, and to the western comer of lot 55, block 29. We believe that the council should provide the funds necessary to defray the cost of this work by the is- buo and sale of local improvement debentures which should mature in twenty years. "We recommend that one half of the cost of this work be assessed and levied upon all lots or lands fronting or abutting on any street in section one, except lot 1 and lots 3 to 20 Inclusive In block 15, and that the proportion of said one half of the cost of this improvement which shall be assessed and levied upon each lot or parcel of land shall be determined by the proportion that the multiple of the frontage of said lot or parcel of land and the width of the strict shall bear to the sum of all such multiples In the district assessed for the improvement. "Provided that the width of the street in Biggar Place shall be calculated as 72 feet and that the width , of any other street or place shall be j calculated as not more than 94 feet. '(That in case of any corner lot abutting on two streets that they shall only be assessed for one-half of their frontage on each street; and that the remaining fifty per cent of the cost of the work of local improvement shall be assessed on all the lots and parcels of land in the district improved except such portions of block 15 as have been heretofore exempted, In the proportion of their relative assessed value. "We estimate that the cost of this improvement at $340,000." Aid. Pattullo introduced the subject of proceedure referring to the bylaw of the city. Aid. Lynch said the committee had taken it for granted from what was said at the last meeting that there was haste required and had accordingly brought tills report in. Aid. Pattullo thought the engineer's report should always come before the council. He thought the engineer should make a report along the line of this report. Aid. Lynch agreed that this would have to go before the engineer. On motion of Aid. Pattullo, tbe engineer was instructed to prepare a report upon the cost of the work of improvements proposed in section 2.

BACON WEDS Well Known Resident of This City is Married in Philadelphia The announcement is made of the marriage of Mr. James H Bacon, formerly G. T. P. ii'arbor engineer, and Miss Bessie Tysen, of Jacksonville, Fla. The ceremony took place in Philadelphia on June 29, only the most intimate friends of the bride and groom were present. Mr. and Mrs. Bacon are expected here in a few days, and will take up their residence in this city . Mr. Bacon has been prominently identified with Prince Rupert's development. As harbor engineer of the 6. T. P. he bad to do with the selection of this as the terminal, and ever since he has been a frequent visitor In an official way lo the port. When he resigned his position r. short time ago it was not known to many of his friends that he Intended to wed and make his permanent homo Here, lie has a wide circle of friends in tho city that will be happy to wel- corno him back here. That Mr. Bacon should decide to live here is another assurance by one who Is in a position to judge of the future of the city that Prince Rupert is to be a most Important port. o—■— ■ ENGINEER AT WORK Col. Davis Arrived Last Night and Today Is Sizing Up the Local Situation. He Is Ready to Deal With Conditions As He Finds Them on Townsite —Praises the Harbor Col. W. M. Davis, the new city engineer, is in the city and already actively engaged sizing up the propositions which he has to face. He reached Prince Rupert on the Princess Royal last evening, and was met at the wharf by Mayor Stork, who escorted him to his hotel and then brought him to the City Hall where the council had assembled and where the engineer had an opportunity of meeting the aldermen and civic officials. Today Col. Davis is covering a part of the city in company with A. W. Agnew, C.E. The new engineer has little to say yet of conditions. He has not had time to cover the city and take In the whole situation, but sees nothing In the situation to dismay any one. As he looked over the site to the harbor beyond, he remarked to a representative of The Journal, who interviewed him this morning: "Every place hasn't got that." The future, he thinks, must be portentous for the city and he is prepared to grapple with all engineering questions that arise. It is his first visit to the Pacific coast although he has had experience in the prairies. Mrs. Davis and the family have remained behind in Berlin, Ont., for the meantime. Thomas F. Burra, representing the old established firm of the Henderson Directories, with headquarters in Vancouver and Winnipeg, Is in the city. He is preparing a directory of Prince Rupert and Stewart that is to be ready In a couple of months. James Henderson is known all over the west from Winnipeg to the coast in connection with his directories, and the fact that he is to handle the local one ensures its success. LICENSES LAID OVER Commissioners Cannot Legally Act In Natter Until September Meeting. Opinions of Legal Firms Were Sought For the Guidance of the Hoard There are to be no liquor licenses issued in Prince Rupert until the next regular sitting of the Licensing Hoard, which takes place in September. The vexed question was decided by the commission at its sitting on Saturday afternoon, the advice of three law firms being sought before a decision was reached. Commissioners Smith and Merryfield were convinced that the Board had no legal rights to issue licenses, while Mayor Stork was decidedly in favor of going ahead and granting licenses Before a final decision was reached hot words passed at the Board. The question of law involved was quite fully gone into at the meeting. The principle upon which licensing commissioners do business is that the statute requires sittings quarterly at which new licenses can be granted. June 8 was the statutory date for sitting. Two questions of legal interpretation arose. First, were the commissioners appointed legally and in a position to sit on June 8, or did their appointment date from June 9 when the order in council was passed at Victoria; second, even if the commissioners could sit as a legally constituted court on June 8, could they deal with applications at an adjourned meeting that was not legally in order on June 8. On opening, Commisisoner Smith submitted corespondence dating from a message sent, by William Manson. early in Juno to the Government, asking if the commissioners had been appointed. The correspondence was self explanatory and Commissioner Smith asked that it bo read. It was as follows:— Victoria, B.C., Juno 9, 1910. Wni. Manson, Prince Rupert, B.C. Smith and Merryfield will be appointed today. W. J. EOWSER, Atty. Gen. July 4, 1910 W. J. Bowser,^B Attorney General, Victoria, B.C. Please wire me date my appointment License Commissioner. V. W.

Prince Rupert, July 8, 1910. I. E. Merryfield, Esq., City. Dear Sir:—With regard lo the question you have submitted to us of the possibility of the License Hoard granting license at the meeting tomorrow, we would say that we have looked carefully into the Q, C. reports, and we have not been able to find any decision on the question for this Province upon the point. We had not before us a copy of the rules of precedents governing appointments to office in Eritlsh Columbia, as we were not ablo to obtain the same; but we would say that the proceedings in the Province are to the effect that officials act from the moment of appointment by the Executive Council simply by Irstruc- tion by wire and prior to gazetting. The occasions as far as we know where officials have acted under these circumstances have never been questioned, and as the case in point is identically similar, we presume that the same statement of facts would apply. TO ADVERTISE NORTH Fall Fair Is Taken Hold of With Enthusiasm by Citizens of New B.C. Outside Points Will Co-operate With Citizens of Prince Rupert to Pust It (Continued on Page Eight) Prince Rupert will, according lo all Indications have an exhibition this fall that will do an inestimable service In advertising the whole of Northern British Columbia to the world. The question of a Fair has been taken hold of heartily and the arrangements are well In hand. It probable that it will be held in one of the buildings on the wharf or in case that is not possible a suitable location in the city will be found. Enthusiasm Prevails At the meeting held on Friday night when the members of the committee having in charge the arrangements for the fair discussed plans, the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. It. was felt that with the short time at the disposal of the committee it would be useless to attempt to obtain permanent quarters this year and erect buildings. It was thought more advisable to get a temporary location this year and then make an early move towards a permanent place a little later. The main object of the meeting was to discuss with William Mmson, M.P.P., the question of aid from the provincial government. In reply to questions, Mr. Manson bought It quite likely that the government would do something. Usually the applications were in earlier and therefore the grant might all be provided for. He was willing, however, to take the matter up and press strongly for a grant. Tho question of a name was discussed, when Mr. Manson advised that the word agricultural he introduced into it. as the government grant io i..u,'-...itions was intended for agricultural societies more particularly. Accordingly on motion of W. M. Law, the name was made "The Skeena District Agricultural and Industrial Exhibition." Is Well Received G. W. Nlchersoii read most en couraging letters from C. Hicks- Beach of Hazelton. Rev. T. J. Marsh of Kitsumkalum and James Martin of Masset, all of whom were willing to do whatever they could to aid the fair and making timely suggestions. The chairman, F. W. Dawson, reported that he had seen Mr. Frlzzell of Port Essington, and he took up the question most enthusiastically. Already Mr. Frizzell had seen the can- nerymen on the Skeucia and had been promised special displays of canned goods, while Mr. Wallace agreed to send different varieties of fish in blocks of ice. Added to Committee It was deemed wise to add a number of new members to the committee from outside points as well as In the city, and the following, on motion of David H.

Gilroy Fell From Pier Into the Swift Current Below Finance Committee of City Council Will Go Into Question of Debentures. Water Supply Wanted on Ninth Ave. —Deadlock on Selection of Medical Health Officer A sad accident occurred at Zanardi Rapids yesterday morning. William E. Gilroy, who was engaged in the work on the bridge being constructed there for the G. T. P., fell from a pier into tho swift waters below and was drowned. He had been engaged on tho work for about three months, and was regarded as a splendid workman. He mis friends living in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan. The unfortunate man was in the act of relaslng a rail that had caught on the top of the pier. Losing his balance he fell off his stand. In spite of the fact that a rope was thrown to him from a 8.ow, he did not grasp it, although within reach. It is, therefore, believed he must have struck his head somewhere In the fall and become dazed. He rose a second time, but although efforts were made to reach him they were without success. A search was Instituted for hours but without any result. . o IN THE COURTS Plant Fine $50 For Assaulting Fellow Teamster At last evening's council meeting a number of matters came up for consideration outside of what has of late been the general order of business, viz., the consideration of bylaws. The Union Transfer Company asked to be allowed to tender on the hauling of the one million feet of lumber purchased from the Westholme Lumber Company. Aid. Lynch thought It was only fair to call for tenders under the circumstances. The conditions should be set forth. It was decided to call for the tenders. Aid. Hilditch wanted to know If anything was being done to provide water on Ninth avenue. Water was being used from a pool that was not. fit to drink from. A stand pipe should be pro.ided. Aid. Mobley said the proposition had been turned down. It had been estimated that $2,400 would be necessary to put In tbe pipe. These people had the right to have the pipe put in at their own expense. It had been deemed wise to leave the matter over until the permanent engineer came. Aid. Hilditch said all that was required was a temporary pipe that would not cost more than $30. Aid. Mobley said no such proposal as this was made. The residents asked for water and the cost was put by the engineer at about $1,800. After fuller discussion, is was decided to refer the matter of a temporary water supply on Ninth avenue to the water committee. Tiie Finance committee was authorized to go into the whole question of tho city debentures, Including the placing of these, the best means of floating them on the money market and all other related points. Aid. Pattullo, the chairman of tho committee, said he thought he could have the report ready for the next night. Applications for medical health officer were received from Dr. J. P. Cade, Dr. J. O. Reddle and Dr. C. A. Eggert. The first ballot gave Dr. Eggert three votes, Dr. Reddle two and Dr. Cade two. A discussion followed as to whether the vote to be decisive should ho a majority vote of all the ballots or simply the highest number of votes cast. Tbe question was referred to the city solicitor, but no definite decision obtained from him. It was then suggested that as the Mayor had not voted being under the Impression that he did not have a vote, a second ballot be taken. The situation proved to have been completely changed In the interval and the ballot stood, Dr. Reddle 4, Dr. Eggert 2, and Dr. Cade 2. It was decided to adjourn the balloting until the next meeting. Tenders for the city advertising were opened and the lender of The Journal being the lowest was accepted, Judge Young is holding a sitting of his court here, disposing of business that has accumulated since he left for Atlin.

THE PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Tuesday, J'u'fy 12, 1910 IMPRESSED MINISTER Hon. Thomas Taylor Sees a Great Future For Northern British Columbia. Interview Willi Member of Government in South on Prospects or This Port On his return to Vancouver, Hon. Thos. Taylor was Interviewed as to the country tributary to Prince Rupert, which In- recently visited. The Pirn Ince says in part: It wus .Mr. Taylor's first visit to tin- New North section sloping to the Pacific seaboard, and he can scarcely say too much as to its promise as a first-class farming and fruit growing district. Coal mining also promises to play an important part in its industrial history, while as to its wealth of metalliferous minerals the world already knov^s something. In its adaptability for mixed farming, vegetable cultivation, dairying and cattle ranching, and the growth of the hardier fruits, Mr. Taylor believes the valleys of the North are destined to achieve wide and enduring fame. As to the fruit, it is, of course, highly desirable that the settlers should start right—planting only such varieties as are suited to the climate and conditions of the country—and in this connection he hopes to see one or more of the government demonstration orchards established in this Northern territory. He would even go so far as to recommend to the executive that the government adopt an even more paternal policy than that decided upon for more settled portions of the province, and set out experimental orchards as well as supervise their care and development. Referring to the trip to the interior, Mr. Taylor in his interview says relative to Kitselas that there is much mining development in the tributary district, discoveries on Gold Creek creating considerable excitement and with apparent justification. The ores are gold, silver and copper, the gold values, however, chiefly commanding attention, At Aldermere there is a very extensive valley of exceptionally fine agricultural land, hay, grain, and vegetables being grown extensively. The pea-vine stood as high as a man's head, and the timothy would compare with any the continent over. As yet no effort has been made toward fruit cultivation, but it is thought that the country hereabouts is well adapted to this specialty branch of farming. Unquestionably for the production of hay, grains and vegetables the valley is one that it would be hard to equal. From Aldermere the minister and his party continued by road for a distance of about forty miles through the valley (which has an approximate length of fifty miles and width of twenty, of uniformly good land) into what is known as the Pleasant Valley, says tbe Province. Here another fine section opens up, extending along both sides of the Bulkley River. The government wagon road in here being extended a distance of about twenty miles in order to permit settlers and others in the South Bulkley and Francois Lake sections to get in their farm machinery and supplies. The agricultural country continues all the way to Fraser Lake. Having a day available upon the return to Aldermere, the minister took advantage of the opoprtunity to look over the Grand Trunk Pacific coal mines at .Mud Creek. These are as yet in the prospect stage, but several open cuts have been run and shafts sunk showing at all points good ouf-croppings on from five to nine-foot ledges of fine bituminous coal. On the Telkwa, which runs into the Bulkley at Aldermere, there is also coal mining in the preliminary stage. A trail has been constructed up the Telkwa to lue Grand Trunk Pacific coal areas, which are the scene of much prospecting and expert investigation. The Morrice River, also, claims wide attention in con- sequence of its apparent extensi-.e and valuable coal ...-.is. Frank Dockril] and his associates are just now operating drills for the purpose of thoroughly testing tie- coal values md it was arranged to allow an . d- ditlonal $2,000 from the public purse fur the completion of this trail. Oil' - works in this neighborhood wl let were found to he important in rela Hon to the development of rnlr.tri, and agricultural districts In the way of trails, roads, etc., were also authorized. Returning down river a well-attended public meeting was held at Hazelton, and the minister and his party went ashore at Copper City, back of which point the famous Lakelse Valley extends, which is estimated to contain upwards ot 200,000 acres of good farming land.

The London Law Times points out that 'the silk gown of the bench and bar was originally adopted as a form of mourning at the death of an English sovereign. On the death of Queen Mary in 1694 the silk gown was introduced as mourning, and, having been found more convenient and less troublesome than the regular dress then worn, has since been continued. The late Sir Frederick Pollock Is said to have expressed an opinion in reference to the ordinary costume of the bar that the bench and bar went into mourning at the death of Queen Anne and have so remained ever since. there will, it is safe to prophesy, be more attention directed to this port than there will be to any other harbor on the Pacific coast. Anyone who has followed at all the trend of transportation affairs cannot help Deing struck by the jealous attention with which one of the large companies ever watches the others. Every movu on the part of G. T. P.. Is regarded with the most careful attention by all the other transportation companies, although officials of the lines would at once deny it If asked the question point blank. From sources elosely In touch with transportation affairs on tho coast, it is learned turn the C. P.R . realizing that the G. T. P. In its quick move in the way of putting the most up-to-date steamers on the coast to ply out of here, has gained a decided advantage over the other company, has determine... upon making an attempt to rehabilitate itself in public favor.. Tho result, it is announced, will b3 a strong fight for the northern trade on this const. The C. P. R. realizes that it should have acted quicker in the matter of fast steamers. Not having done so that company is now preparing to retrieve its lost honor. The two new steamers building in the Old Country will be rushed forward as soon as possible and will be Of a better type than has hitherto been supposed. Officials of the com- the Charlotte on the run to here, probably supplementing her with another of the steamers, nossibly the Princess May, that may be overhauled to increase her speed somewhat. This move cannot be made now until the new steamers reach the coast. But what is still more important to Prince Rupert and its future is the report that already the C. P. R. is seeking a route for. a second line across the province to reach the Pacific coast at a point north of the north end of Vancouver Island. Survey parties have already entered upon their work in the direction of Tete Jaune Cache and it is reported they have been ordered to proceed with all expedition. Following the well established principle that the great corporations alt sooner or later centralize at certain stategic shipping points, it is: prophesized that Prince Rupert will be the objective point of that company and that shortly after the G. T. P. reaches this port the C. P. R. will be preparing the way to making its entrance also. The fight which the latter company is preparing to put up for the coasting trade here is held to be but an evidence of Its Intention to move in the land transportation end also.

The application was for the order of the court allowing the sale- of these shares and the deposit of the cash in the bank to await claimants. The circumstances attaohihg to the application are thai tyie War Eagle company sold its shares to the Centre Star company for certain shares in that company. Subsequently the Centre Star company sold all its sharea to the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Company of Canada, operating throughout the Kootenays. As these transfers were both made in consideration of shares in the companies purchasing, the ultimate result, is that the original shareholders In the War Eagle and Centre Star are entitled to certain shares in the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company.

No fewer than 48 dif- erent organizations concerned with emigration were represented, the delegates and others attending numbering some 150. Lieutenant-Gen- eral Sir J. Bevan Edwards, K.C.M. G., C.B., chairman of the emigration committee of the Institute, presided, while Mr. James R. Boose, its secretary, acted as secretary to the conference, says "Canada." At the morning session on Monday, the methods of the various societies and the question of the desirability or possibility of some measure of co-operation were discussed. In opening the discussion, the Earl of Dundonald, C.B., K.C.V.O., said that he was one of those who thought the emigration question was best to be solved by our centres of population acquiring fertile estates distributed throughout our Colonial Empire, to which they could in times of depression send out those who could not get work in the Mother Country. He believed, such an investment would pay a hundredfold. In support of his contention that present-day education in the Mother Country was not such as fitted the people to take part in the development of the soil and in the production of the elements of life, Lord Dundonald said in his various tours of inspection throughout Canada he was deeply impressed with the lack, on the part of public school men, of that knowledge which fitted them to develop the soil. Those who came from a lower station in life were far more fitted for that than those who ought to be the leaders in the development of our Empire. Most of the speakers expressed the willingness and even anxiety of their societies to co-operate with others. Mr. F. Morris, of the Charity Organization Society, said it would in particular be of immense service if they arranged by means of co-operation to have all over Canada capable people, not only to give advice as to where settlers should go, but also to supervise them when they were sent. Mr. W. F. Hamilton, K.C., who represented the Church Army, urged that agents should be stationed in the neighborhood of farms; and he incidentally remarked that the more stringent the immigration regulation were made the more satisfactory in a sense, was it for the immigration societies, who were responsible for those they sent out for three years. Miss Taylor, of the Victoria League, reported that the welcome extended to settlers through the agency of that body had appealed most strongly to them. The Rev. R. L. Gwynne, of the Kent Colonizing Association, urged the co-ordination of the vast mass of private adventure in Great Britain, and advocated the formation of an organization for training elementary school boys over thirteen In work on the land. Child Emigration The subject of child emigration was introduced by Mr. Kingsley Fairbridge, Oxford, secretary of the newly formed Society for the Furtherance of Child Emigration to the Colonies. He dwelt on the necessity for a basis of special agricultural training, maintaining that the ordinary Canadian school did not. equip a boy for farming, nor did life on his father's farm alone do so. Mr. William Baker, Dr. Barnardo's Homes, gave a cheering account of the splendid success which had attended their experience of emigration. Of the thousands of boys they had sent out to Canada only two per cent had been failures, and 80 per cent were farmers. As showing how their children got on, he mentioned that the mayoress of one of the principal towns of Canada was an old Barnardo girl. Their children were boarded out with farmers there just as at Home, and thus they learned to do things in Canadian style, and started work on the right lines when the time came for them to do so. They had in Canada twelve men and six women constantly going round visiting. Lady Knightley of Fawsley, who represented the British Women's Emigration Association, said In five years they had emigrated about 10,- 000 women, with a very small percentage of failures. The new Canadian restrictions, Lady Knightley remarked, pressed rather heavily upon them, and as there was a demand in the Dominion for girls like factory workers, it would be very hard to keep them out. The Rev. E. de M. Rudolf, of the Church of England Incorporated Society for Waifs and Strays, said for such, properly trained, the life in Canada afforded the very best opportunity. Colonel Lamb, of the Salvation Army, explained how in Canada they had a chain of officers entirely set apart for the reception of the emigrants selected in Britain. Inspection System Mr. F. Butler, chairman of the managing committee of the Emigrants' Information Office, at the suggestion of one of the earlier speakers dealt with the system of inspection of children in Canada on the part of both the emigration societies and the Dominion authorities, and stated that the conclusion he arrived at, after personal examination of the records at Ottawa, was that it was about as complete and sure as any system of that kino could be. Mr. Francis Deverell, of the British Empire Agency, Ltd., spoke especially of the necessity for giving full information and advice as to settlement in particular parts of the Empire. The first part of the proceedings terminated with the adoption of the following resolution, moved by Lord Brassey, and seconded by Sir Frederick Young, K.C.M. G., "That the Council of the Royal Colonial Institute be asked to appoint a representative standing committee to whom the recommendations of the conference should be referred for such further action as may be deemed advisable." Lord Brassey said it was certain that they were not spending unduly in connection with emigration on salaries to those who did the work. He doubted if any branch of home endeavor had received "in proportion to its expenditure more splendid voluntary work than had been given to the cause of emigration. It seemed to him that what they suffered from was not overlapping, but rather a want of adequate co-operation and he suggested that the Emigrants' Information Office might be used to a greater extent in this connection. Canadian Regulation Criticised The discussion on the emigration work of the government agencies of the Oversea Dominions and Its relation to public and philanthropic effort was opened by Mr. Baker, who, while acknowledging the courtesy shown by the agencies in helping them, said he should like them to help further by giving more specific information as to just the sort of people they wanted and where they wanted to put them. A similar tribute to the agents was paid by most of the subsequent speakers, Mr. Obed Smith (who had had to go to Denmark) being personally referred to in particularly flattering terms, which were striking in view of the strong criticism to which the regulations he has to administer were subjected. Sir Clement Kinloch Cooke, M.P. for Devonport, the chairman of the Central Emigration Board, urged the desirability of more co-operation between the agencies of the Oversea Dominions. Referring to the latest Canadian regulation relating to assisted passages, he said they did not want to send all their best farm laborers out to Canada, but there were a great many people who would make excellent settlers and were anxious to go to Canada whom the regulations would not let in. It seemed to him a most outrageous condition that was # being imposed. They were told that the new regulation did nothing new, but If that were so why was it passed at all-? If things were just as they were some months ago, what was its object? What they wanted was some absolute and final statement of what sort of people Canada wanted. They did not desire to see regulations formulated time and again which upset, all their arrangements, created great hardship for the people being emigrated, did no good to the cause of emigration generally, and certainly did not make Canada popular with the working clasess of the Mother Country. Colonel Lamb said personally he never experienced very much difficulty with the Canadian authorities, always finding them on the whole obliging and reasonable. The cause of the restrictions, he pointed out, was that at one time there was not the care and discrimination showi in the selection of emigrants that there might have been. The colonies wanted people, but the surplus population the Mother Country wanted to get rid of was not the class the colonies wanted. The colonies, again, could not be run without British capital. These were the conflicting interests which would have to be merged. Want Xo Loafers The Rev. M. Maclean Goldie, special commissioner for Nova Scotia, said a good deal had been said about the Englishman not being required in Canada, but is was not the .Englishman, but the loafer, who wa« not required. Any man who was willing to work could find a situation In Canada, and they would be only too willing to get him. He mentioned that within the past eleven months they had sent out to Nova Scotia 1,14 6 emigrants, and every one had been suitably placed, and they had not had a single complaint. Mr. E. C. Gates, secretary of the Self-Help Emigration Society, said some were not quite lair to the governments In the Oversea Dominions. They did not always recognize that the King's ministers In Canada were responsible to the people of Canada, and not to the people of Great Britain. They had to look at the interests of Canada, and, not at those of Great Britain, whero they differed. Besides, it was a perfectly good argument to say that if the emigrants' friends were doing well enough to support them in Canada, then they ought to be able to pay the cost of taking them out. Mr. Gates thought there was some misunderstanding between the two orders in council of last year and this year. The regulations were said to be the same, and he believed that was perfectly correct, but that it was the exceptions that varied. "Vexatious," on the other hand, was the term applied by Mr. D. Richardson, of the Kent Colonizing Association, who urged that they should seek as a body of emigration societies to get them removed. The Rev. Cuthbert W. H. Whalley, referring to the Society for the Furtherance of Child Emigration as a co-ordinating agency, mentioned that the Premier of Newfoundland had made an offer of 50,000 acres free of taxation and in addition a government grant for school buildings and teachers' salaries. Mr. J. M. Aikin, K. C, of Winnipeg, who made a stirring patriotic speech, said if' Canada aspired to be the heart of the British Empire it was very necessary that she should be British in her leanings, and that her population should, us far as possible, come from the British Empire. They were willing that Canada should be thrown open to the right class of people, but they must be the right class. He was not, however, in sympathy with the regulation which required for a capable Britisher that he should be able to show that he was worth $50 when he landed. That was an artificial regulation, and was no test of the proper description and character of the emigrant they expected, and should have, in Canada. They wanted good health, good character, energy, and industry. He knew dozens of men who, when they went out twenty-five years ago, had not $50 In their pockets, who were today the best and most prominent citizens of the Dominion. Mr. Aikin suggested the arranging of a conference with the Canadian government as a means of removing any existing hardships. Before the discussion closed, Sir C. Kinloch Cooke referred to a letter, addressed to Lady Falmouth by Mrs. Crear, Dunelin, Hamilton, Ont., and published in the Times, in which the writer said: "At present, among the great, stream of English people whom your agencies are sending to us are many who are the off-scour- ings from London streets—the hangers on to cnurch charitable organizations—the type of men who demand work, but that is the last thing that they really desire." Speaking emphatically, Sir Clement said he had no hestitation in saying that there was no emigration society of any importance in the country which sent out to Canada or anywnere else the scourings of the streets of London; and what was more, it would be quite impossible ror them to obtain entrance into Canada. Plan of Imperial Government Second day discussion centred upon the position of the Imperial government with regard to emigration, the utilization of the labor exchanges and the holding of a subsidiary conference with a view to the formulation of proposals for submission to the Imperial conference In 1911. The subject was introduced by Mr. Walter Hazell, J.P., chairman of the Central Unemployed Body for London. The government, he pointed out, had done something in the way of aiding emigration, notably by the Unemployed Workmen Act. He be-j lieved that it was possible under the existing Act of Parliament to extend their work through the channel of t the Labor Exchanges, and that if this were done with painstaidng care a I great deal of good might be accom- j plished. Nothing, of course, could i be done by the home government without the co-operation of the Oversea governments, and it should be arranged that the latter should have the last word with regard to me selection of the people to be sent out. lie suggested that they might also, by means of earmarking kages, collect the loans advanced In Great Britain, Mr. C. S. Goldman, M. P. for Pen- ryn and Falmouth, advocated a scheme of extended co-operation between the governments of the Empire and the organization of a central uody in Great Britain, connected with the local committees in every part of the country and In the receiving countries, and also In touch with the labor bureaus and other organizations. The solution of the financial problem, he said, must ultimately lie in an arrangement between the government, comprehending such bodies as the friendly societies, etc. Mr. Richard Jebb favored the suggestion to ask tne government to convene a subsidiary Imperial conference, at which the provincial and state governments should be represented, to discuss the problems of government. A limited number of selected pioneers might be sent out in July next, and after working during the harvest should, about November 1, be assisted to build a sod shack on their homesteads. The wives and children should be provided with maintenance at home from July to December, and in the springtime they should be sent out to the Canadian West. Advances for travelling expenses should be made, and the men should be given cash or credit to the amount of £65, w»n« life, fidelity, fire and stock insurance policies should be taken out. Repayment of tbe loans should be spread over five years at seven per cent Interest. Powers of i ncitiploycd Act Official opinion was represented by Mr. F. Butler, of the'Emigrants' In- emigration, citing Mr. John Burn'B! formation Office (who emphasized views on child emigration as an in- j the fact that that office was devoting dication that the government was not attention to the encouragement of emigration within the hounds of the Empire), and Colonel Murray, of the Labor Exchanges central office. The averse from considering such a question, and pointing out that the forthcoming revision of the poor law system in Great Britain made this a particularly appropriate time for action. Mr. Jebb moved a resolution to this effect, which was afterwards agreed to. .Minister Advocated The Hon. Alexander Wilmot, M. L.A., Cape Colony, advocated the appointment of a minister of the Imperial Crown for emigration, or at least that one of the ministers should in his portfolio include doing everything in his power to co-operate with the emigration societies. Mr. L. S. Amery emphasized the importance of the question of emigration from an Imperial point of view, pointing out that it was the foundation of the whole question of Imperial defence and Imperial union. That two days' discussion had indicated that the question of emigration was approaching something like a deadlock, or at any rate there was an amount of waste "and confusion which was wholly unnecessary. Neither the uominion nor the Mother Country seemed to know what they were driving at, and the efforts of the emigration societies and individuals were often wasted in trying to help the wrong people out, and then sudednly finding that some government on the other side issued an edict which threw mat work into confusion. These things came from misunderstanding, and the only way to clear up such a misunderstanding was to get responsible people to meet together and decide on a common policy as to the class of emigrants they wished to encourage, and how to encourage it. Colonel Lamb favored the appointment of commissioners to give grants where required, rather than that the Government should undertake the work itself. If a fund of £10,000,000 were established it would be more in keeping with the magnitude of the task they had to undertake. If latter stated that there was no doubt that the powers under the Unemployed Act of advancing loans for travelling expenses etxended to the colonies, and intimated that the share which the Labor Exchanges would take In assisting the emigration societies, etc., was under the consideration of the Board of Trade at the present moment, as well as the Allan scheme, which was very much on the lines of the old crofting colonies scheme, which was in the main undoubtedly a success. Mr. A. J. Dawson declared that it was a preposterous thing that while there were government departments of practically every kind, there was no department for the regulation of the most important and most vital of all interests, man power. Mr. A. A. Pearson, C.B., C.M.G., said as a result of a tour last, year through Australia with Sir Charles Lucas he had arrived at the conclusion that tbe time had come when it was necessary that the government should take up the general control of emigration in co-operation with the emigration societies. Thai would secure cooperation among the latter, be of great value in tlua solution of such difficulties as that of the Canadian regulations, and also help to fum's'i the money. He hoped the first thing that would result from that would be to make the Labor Exchanges thoroughly available for eoiigriiion purposes. Sir Philip Hutchins, K.C. S:L, for the League of the Empire, also cordially supported the proposal to invoke official assistance In this matter. Sir Frederick Young opened the final discussion, which was mainly an exposition of individual schemes. On the motion of Mr. P. H. Kerr, secretary of the Self-Help Emigration Society, seconded by Mr. Amery, it was agreed that the schemes which had been brought before the conference, they were to deal with the redistrl- should he referred tuition o tfhe people they must do so in a proper and scientific manner. Lord Brassey, on the other hand, viewed witl. considerable doubt the proposal to make a large grant from (he public purse for this purpose. He thought a good deal could be done with a modest beginning, and sugegsted that an annual grant, not exceeding £10,000, should be administered under the auspices of the Emigration Committee of the Colonial Office In grants to existing emigration societies. Mr. R. C. Scolt of the Allan Line, who have now been carrying passengers lo Canada for about eighty- eight yenrs, gave details of a scheme drawn up by the managers of that to the standing committee for further consideration, and for such action as might be deemed advisable, and that it be a recommendation to the committee to consider a scheme for the permanent organization of the conference as an annual institution. The chairman, in closing the proceedings, joined with several previous speakers In commenting on the absence of the High Commissioners and Agents-Genera] for the Dominions over the seas, all of whom were invited and several of whom had accepted the invitation, As to the conference, he felt sure it would have an Important result, and he assured them (hat the Council of the In- Btltute would do all It could to sarry line which had been placed before oul the views and resolutions which the labor exchangea, „^u would pre-'had been passed and bring them be- scntly be submitted to the Canadian fore the government. The Liverpool Y. M. C. A. Monthly Journal In a recent Issue publishes an interesting account of a lecture given by Agnes Deans Cameron, the well known British Columbia writer and lecturer. The Journal says: — In the Y. M. C. A. Hall, Liverpool, an unusual address was delivered on April 2 by Miss Agnes Deans Cameron, the Canadian explorer and writer. Some illuminating facts were presented to the audience, who, by the way, formed a capacity house. The listeners learned that Western Canada is today the goal of the greatest economic trek this world has even kndwn: 100,000 people from the United States entered the great wheat belt of Canada last year to make homes in that urai-rle land, and there was an equal immigration from the Mother land and the hardy nations of Northern Europe. The great lure Is, of course, the free farms of 160 acres each which the govern- ADVERTISING THE PROVINCE ment of Canada is giving to each man who will undertake to till a farm. South of the Sasl itcbewan, i.e., in the land of present settlements served by the railways, last year between 200,000,000 and 300,000,000 bushels of grain were gathered, and as yet in this section only one-twentieth of the arable land has been brought under the plough. The speaker estimates, basing her conclusions on close personal observation, that north of the Saskatchewan, in the great hinterland beyond the end of steel, Canada holds in waiting another 100,000,000 acres of land capable of growing No. 1 hard wheat. Eighteen months ago Miss Cameron, with one white companion, made a record journey from Chicago due north-west across the whole width of Canada to the edge of the Arctic Ocean, following tbe great, waterways of the Athabasca River, Athabasca Lake, Great Slave Lake, and the mighty Mackenzie to the point where the latter stream disembogues into the Polar Ocean. A collection of flora verj valuable to British science was brought out as one result of this journey. This histoids herbarium Is full of surprises: among other things it shows the delicate blue flowers of the wild flax gathered at a point well within the arctic circle. From the Arctic Ocean the audience was carried along a six weeks' journey, with the traveller, against the current up the bosom of the mighty Peace River. They stopped to marvel at the flour mill and fields of grain white for the harvest at Vermlllon-on-the-Peace in latitude 58 deg. 30 min. north, 500 miles due north of any present Canadian railway line. Over 100 distinct stereopticon views illuminated this lecture; they were all from the speaker's own camera, and for the most pari marked out "a route unspoiled of Cook's." Coming out from the Peace River country to Edmonton on the Saskatchewan, an illuminating journey was taken from that point westward, following the construction line of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway to its Pacific terminus, Prince Rupert. This new highway, which Is in name respects a Government line of road, limls a very easy gradient through Un- Rocky Mountains al the Yellow- head Pass, iiiui Immediately enters upon one of the richest mesas in tIn- world—a groat natural prairie where the grass, pea-vine, and rank herbage grow so high as in many cases io reach the waist of a man riding on horseback.

Tuesday, July 12, 1910 A GOOD COUNSEI/LOR ing in religious colloges ran too much into scientific and theoretical the- ogy, and paid too little attention to the teaching of the golden rule. Such statements as those of The Globe and Rev. Dr. Chown are significant of a changed attitude of mind that is becoming more general as the years pass. The non-essential features of religious life are being gradually thrust aside. There is also i less emphasis upon religion related I to the next world and more upon i hut which fits a man for a right life in the world of today. EDITORIAL NOTES The granting of 300 inches of water to the city at Woodwortli Lake by the Provincial Government, is a happy culmination of a question that has agitated the city for a long time. While he will probably ask no bouquets in connection with the matter, being satisfied like the majority of the citizens that results have been so advantageous to the city's interests, William Manson, M.P.P., Is to be congratulated upon the persistency with which he has pressed that the city should push its claim for this record. During the last civic election campaign and later he persistently advocated a move in the direction which has turned out so successfully. The result has shown that Mr. Manson is a safe counsellor who is not to be easily thrown into a panic. The ensuring of a supply such as this to the city clears the situation and allows an early start to be made by the council on an adequate water supply for the city. A DISTINGUISHED GUEST Next month Prince Rupert will be honored by a visit from the Rt. Hon. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Prime Minister of Canada. The visit of this distinguished statesman to the city should be made an occasion of very special prominence. We do not believe there are any in the city, no matter to what political party they may belong, who are not willing to unite in making the event one long to be remembered. It is an occasion when all can unite to do honor to our distinguished fellow countryman. Sir Wilfrid's name is peculiarly identified with Prince Rupert. The carrying out of his great .c'lway policy made this a port which is an additional-reason why there should be a united hearty reception to him. For this reason It Is fitting that the cordiality of the welcome accorded In Prince Rupert should be more striking than it will he in any other place in the Pacific province. An early start should be made to prepare for the event In which the city council might well join hands with the citizens as a whole so that it may be demonstrated that the residents of Prince Rupert are large enough in their conception of public matters to be able to sink all petty feeling and party differences and do honor to one whose name is so favorably known throughout the whole British Empire. XEEI) OP THK PULPIT The lack of young men to fill the growing demands of the churches today is agitating the leaders in the different denominations. Some good wholesome criticism is as a result being directed to the subject of the ministry and its needs. The Toronto Globe, alluding to the fact that all the churches are in need of more men for the ministry, declared that merely to offer higher salaries would not solve the problem, even If it did secure a larger number of candidates. The real problem, it says, is not merely one of more men, but of better men, and the attraction for the latter is no money but an opportunity for real service. The Globe charges that there are too many petty (unctions—features connected with tin- ministry, and Hint these do not appeal to men of real power. Tho Globe further charges Unit (he curriculum in most colleges is antiquated ami outgrown, hopelessly out of touch with Canadian life, and not at all fitted to train men to be leaders of men In Christian service. It says: "Scholars the colleges must produce, but scholarship touched with emotion and inspired to service. Let the churches and their colleges revise their Ideals or the ministry and the call for men will not be In vain." Rev. Dr. Chown, of Toronto, at the conference last week of Canadian Charities and Correction declared that ministers needed to come down from the high flights of theology and learn first hand by personal contact and observation the conditions that exist In the world, as what they needed most was a better acquaintance with the woes of the world and less of the mysteries of higher criticism. The minister should be sent out to work as a man amongst men." Dr. Chown charged that the teach- We believe the time is not ripe for the taking over of the scavenging by the city council. The police should be instructed to see that the regulations are enforced and through the health officer, stringent compliance with the rules made obligatory. To add a new department, however, to the city hall staff in the way of a scavenging equipment would be reckless. o IRON ORE IN SIGHT Estimate Made That Supply in Sight Would Last Sixty Years In preparation for the eleventh international geological congress, to be held In Stockholm this summer, a most comprehensive survey, in two bulky volumes, has been compiled, containing reports from most of the world's iron producing countries. Professor T. G. Anderson, the general secretary of the congress, has edited this massive work. According to the summary given, the world's visible supplies of iron ore now being worked amount to 22,408,000,000 tons, representing 10,192,000,000 tons of metallic iron. The present annual production ot iron, based on last year's figures, is about 60,000,000 tons. In the year 1800 the world's production of iron amounted to only 800,000 tons, in 1891 it had reached 26,200,000 tons and In 1901 41,200,000 tons. Should the consumption go on increasing at the same rate the visible supplies of iron ore will only last some sixty years, but the potential supplies will long before then have been available through the development of communication, so they can be reckoned practically in the former class. In addition to this it must not be overlooked that in spite of energetic research in many directions, knowledge as to the world's iron ore deposits is still very incomplete, especially in Asia and Africa. In the American continent, too, there are believed to be vast iron ore deposits yet undiscovered.

A case in point is the Canadian Pacific ownership of the Trail smelter. It purchased that smelter from Heinze thirteen years ago for $1,500,000, which purchase eliminated Mr. Heinze from British Columbia and gave the Canadian Pacific additional railroad mileage and large land ownership, and the smelter is today contributing $800,000 per annum in freight traffic for the Canadian Pacific. Furthermore, the company's steamship business is assuming large proportions, and today the Canadian Pacific has more boats on the ocean than the Cunard line, and, contrary to the experience of the United States railroads on the Pacific, the Canadian Pacific is making money in its Oriental trade, largely because It is able to use Oriental seamen, while the United StateB companies are not. James J. Hill lost $250,000 on his Pacific boats last year as against the profitable operation on the part of the Canadian Pacific. CARRYING OUT AGREEMENT Contract Let For Construction Work on Kettle Valley Road LARGE PROFITS *'. I*. II. Makes Money Out of Subsidiary lluslness It is estimated that the Canadian Pacific will have a surplus of $20,- 000,000 above its dividend requirements this year, and with 200,000,- 000 bushels of wheat to move, It will have the best year In Its history in almost every particular, says the Montreal Star. The company has about $75,000,- 000 In its treasury for Its construction needs, and Its hidden assets are almost beyond conception. The policy of the management of the Canadian Pacific Is to enter outside business whenever such business can be of benefit to the road In the way of traffic, which It might not. get otherwise. It buys and sells real A contract for the construction of the first section of the Kettle River Valley Railway, the road which will link Vancouver with the Kootenays, has been awarded to tbe engineering .mil contracting firm of Macdonell, Gzowskl & Company of Vancouver. The work awarded covers that portion of the line lying between Mer- rltt, a station on the Spences Brldge- Nlcola railway, and the headwaters of the Coldwater river, a distance of thirty miles. The Kettle River Valley railway, which Is in receipt of a subsidy from the province of British Columbia of $5,000 a mile for 150 miles of Its route, Is under agreement to start construction on or before July 10. Before that date Macdonald, Gzowskl & Company will have their equipment and working forces on the ground, and the first sod of the grade will be turned before the day agreed upon to mark the commencement of operations. The contractors are now hurrying their plant to Merrltt. Construction will be carried on entirely from the Merrltt end of the section owing to the ease with which material and supplies can be laid down at that point and forwarded along the line of the work. With the completion of the railway from Merrltt to the headwaters of the Coldwater river the line will be practically on the divide between that stream and the Coquhalla river, that flows Into the Fraser. From the headwaters of the Coldwater the railway route will swing eastward in the direction of Pentlcton and either the main line or a branch will reach the town of Princeton. From Pentlcton the railway will run to Midway Ten miles northeast of the latter point the route will converge with that of the old Midway & Vernon railway project and the Kettle Valley road will utilize the grade which the Midway & Vernon company built between Rock Creek and Midway. ,—o SOUTH AFRICA Zululand, 95,440 white and 1,072,- 000 colored; Transvaal, 325,250 white, and 1,024,200 colored; Orange River Colony, 157,200 white, and- 289,000 colored. o NEW IMMIGRATION LAW It Will He Liberally Interpreted So As Not to Work Any Hardships Facts Concerning Newest Dominion of British Empire In view of the fact that the Do minion of South Africa has just entered upon its history as a federation, the following facts concerning it will be of interest. The Dominion of South Africa is comprised as follows:— Traansvaal—Area, 112,139 square miles; native population 1,024,200 Chief product, gold. Output in sterling from Rand and outside districts for June, 1909, £2,521,818. Immense numbers of sheep and cattle reared, wool and hides exported. Orange Free State—Area, 48,300 square miles; native population, 289,900. Chief product, wool, principal article of export; diamonds and other precious stones and gold found. Zululand—Area, 10,450 square miles. Large crops of maize and Kaffir corn raised around the neighborhood of kraals. Oxen and maize are the chief articles of trade. Natal—Area, 15,750 square miles. Chief exports, wool, gold, sugar, coal, rum, skins and bides. Kaffir industry, pastoral. Coffee, tea, tobacco, wheat, barley, oats and Kaffir corn grown everywhere. Cape Colony — Area, 280,000 square miles; native population, 1,896,820. Chief products, diamonds from Kimberley, copper from Little Namaqualand. Sheep, goats, cattle, and horses reared. Wool, mohair, skins and hides exported. Wheat and grapes cultivated. The total area of tne union is 666,- 629 square miles. The number of members In the first union house of assembly is as follows: Cape of Good Hope, 51; Natal, 17; Transvaal, 36; Orange Free State, 17. There are 5,471,490 persons in the South African states. Of these 1,188,570 are white and 4,282,920 are colored. They are distributed thus: The Cape, 610,680 white, and I,- 6,820 colored; Natal, Including So numerous are the complaints that are reaching Ottawa regarding the new immigration regulations, and of such real significance are many of them that the authorities are constrained to admit something will have to be done to-save the situation. The chief difficulty is that under the regulations a man who comes out to Canada to work for an employer who has engaged him, can not enter the country unless he can show himself to be the possessor of $25 in cash. An English worklngman, after pay Ing the fares of himself and his family, will usually find It hard to show that sum when he arrives on this side of the Atlantic. If these people had plenty of money there would be no necessity for their leaving England at all. Just why they should be required to possess $25 after they have paid their way to the points where work awaits them is the question put to the immigration department these days. It is safe to say that some arrangement will be made to meet such ..naes which, it is admitted, are a real hardship . The Canadian immigration regulations are regarded by both political parties as in the main satisfactory, but, as is ever the case, no regulation that can be framed Is sufficiently responsive to meet the requirements of every human need. Interpreted with sympathy, and with provision of expectations for individual cases, they ought to protect Canada sufficiently and yet allow all freedom to men attempting to better their conditions by moving to more congenial surroundings. o HUDSON'S BAT PROFITS Annual Meeting of Proprietors Decide Upon Dividend to be Paid The governor and committee of the Hudson's Bay Company submitted to the annual meeting of the proprietors held on July 4, their yearly report which stated that the profit of the trade for the year ending May 31, 1910, amounts to £166,- 156, and the amount to the credit of the land account for the year ending March 31, 1910, Is £240,045, a total of £406,201. From the proceeds of the land an interim dividend of 15s per share, amounting to £75,000, was paid to proprietors on January 18 last. The balance at the credit of the land account after payment of the interim dividend of £75,000 is £165,045, and out of this a further distribution of £1 13s per share ts recommended, which will absorb £165,000, making a total distribution from lands sales of £2 8s per share, amounting for the year to £240,000, and carrying forward the sum of £45 to the next land account. This distribution is made free of income tax. The question whether the proceeds of the sale of the company's land was chargeable to income tax has been the subject ot litigation for some time past. The commissioners for income tax for the city of London, to whom the company appealed on June 22, 1905, from assessment on the company, which included such proceeds, decided after hearing the evidence that these proceeds were not chargeable and reduced the assessment to the amount of the profits made by the company from their trading operations. The question came before Mr'. Justice Channell by way of an appeal from the commissioners and he gave judgment adverse to the company on February 19, 1909. On the advice of Sir Robert Finlay, K C, the company appealed to the lord justices of appeal, who unanimously upheld the contention of the company. From the profit of trade, £166,156, the payment of a dividend of £1 12s per share free of Income tax la recommended, amounting to £160,- 000. There will remain £6,156, which, added to the amount of £105,- 764 brought forward from last year, will make a total of £111,921 to be carried forward. The total distribution from trade and land for the whole year amounts to £400,000, or four pounds per share. The quantity of fur offered for sale this spring was smaller than usual, but prices generally showed a considerable advance, and as regards the prospectB for the coming year, advices so far received indicate that it will be an average season.

Indian Monument North Vancouver.—The mausoleum which Chief Matthias Is erecting in memory of his father, the late Chief Joe, is expected to be ready next month, and will cost about $10,- 000. Chief Matthias expects- to have a great gathering of British Columbia Indians on the occasion of the opening ceremonies. A brief outline of the course that will be pursued by the United States Bureau of Education in its efforts to promote education during the coming year, and a tribute to the achievements of the ltte Dr. William Terrey Harris, formerly In charge of thai work, were the principal features of an address by Dr. Elmer E. Brown, the present commissioner of education, before the National Education Association in Boston recently. The address furnishes a rich field for thought among those who are interested in the BUbject of education and Its present trend. "It was an extraordinary legacy that was left to the uuieau of education by Commissioner William Terrey Harris," declared Dr. Brown. "The present administration of that office has no finer nor higher responsibility than that of maintaining at Its best the spirit, and that tradition which constitute that legacy." Dr. Brown referred to the institution of a new division for the promotion of methods of school administration, and also of the use of specialists for improving the work of the land grant colleges as additions that had been made to the activities of the service under him. He pictured the educational work being carried on In Alaska as the most extensive experiment of that kind in the world. "Such a practice ocnool presents the white man's burden in Its most concrete form, with all of the difficulties and all of the inspiring opportunities presented by this world education movement of our time," he added. "There in Alaska the school physician and the school nurse are now going up and down, helping the people in their sickness and teaching them how to live clean and wholesome lives. The girls are learning to cook and to sew, and to make good homes. The boys are learning to earn an honest livelihood under their new conditions by new industrial pursuits, by the raising of reindeer, by improved fishing, gardening and the use of common tools. They are learning something of the white man's wisdom and the white man's better aims In life, which shall help them In their new relations with the white man as their neighbor and fellow laborer." To extend the influence of the bureau and to strengthen it, Dr. Brown said close co-operation had been arranged with the Library of Congress and with the Bureau of the Census The latter bureau, he said, is endeavoring to obtain more nearly uniform and comparable statistics concerning state and city systems of education. "We have now more reason than ever before to hope that the reproach which has lain against our school reports, that they do not tell an intelligible tale, is soon to be a thing of the past," declared Dr. Brown. Speaking of the function of his bureau, Dr. Brown continued: — "The improvement of school attendance must go hand In hand with the abatement of child labor and numerous other undertakings for the general welfare of childhood. It Is the business of a central office to call repeated attention to three relationships and to help those who are at work In neighboring fields to work together for their common ends. "We need to press home such Information as will lead to the Improvement of school buildings. In a country which is spending $73,000,- 000 for the construction, equipment | and repair of its buildings for school purposes, such Information as would lead to the saving of only one per cent on this expenditure would cause an aggregate annual saving of $730,- 000 and the saving ui the health of pupils which can be accomplished through more hygvalc construction is an incomparably greater concern. "In a thousand ways the Improvement of health through education is now under way. An agency vitiich, through the gentle torce of clear information can bring these ways Into unison and prevent the waste of misdirected efforts will prove Itself a national benefit. "Industrial education, In its three main forms of trade schools, schools of housekeeping and school for rural life, In every way raising more questions than anyone yet can answer. It is the business of >.„eh an office as the Bureau of Education to overlook this whole field and keep incessant enquiries under way, with a view to finding the best answers to the most F.B.

DEACON OPEN EVENINGS Centre Street urgent of these questions so fast as those answers become available in any part of the world. But here, again, it is not information alone that is needed. Our new efforts at industrial education are pulled this way and that by inharmonious aims and conflicting interests. A national offlea concerned with these things, must make the constant endeavor to per- Buade those discordant forces into unity of aim, and that effectiveness which comes with unity." The supervision of rural schools, improvements in the training of teachers, the relations of secondary schools to colleges and universities were referred to by Dr. Brown, who declared that there was never a time when a mediating agency was more needed in this field. Institutional isolation, he said, was being recognized everywhere as a mistake, and the need of bringing all such institutions into closer relationship was being realized by all classes of educa tors. In connection with these needs, he said, the near future would bring up questions relating to the reorganiza tion of the whole educational activity of the federal government. Prominent among these questions would be those relating to the need for a national department of education, a national university at Washington and the extension of federal aid to edu cation in the States, especially con cerning Industrial education." , ,0 MOUNT TATLOW Amount Paid by Dominion Govern- ment Upon Canadian Ore Name of Late Minister of Province is to be Perpetuated As a monument to British Colum bla's late minister of finance and agriculture, who lost his life under tragic corcumstances three months ago, the hitherto unchristened culminating peak of the Cascade mountains, rising to a height of 10,000 feet immediately to the south of the LEAD BOUNTY SIR WILFRID'S VISIT Itinerary of Premier of Dominion During His Trip to the Pacific Coast. He Will Reach Here Saturday, Aug. 20, Leaving Late Monday or Early on Tuesday A federal bounty, .. ion amounts to $15 a ton is allowed upon lead ore delivered at Canadian smelters for treatment. This bounty was paid during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1910, upon a production of 45,- 467,545 pounds, and amounted to $340,542. The bounty paid In 1909 was $307,432 upon 42,533,287 pounds of ore. For many years the output of the Kootenay mines, in British Columbia, whence comes practically all the lead produced in Canada mines, was shipped to smelters on the American side. Thus in 1901 there was exported to the United States 57,952,- 613 pounds of ore, valued at $2,272,- 830, out of a total export that year of 65,602,388 pounds, valued at $2,- 517,084. The bounty system since established has resulted in the ore being smelted In Canada and to a large extent used in this country In the manufacture of white lead products. The total export of lead ure In 1909 amounted to only 12,032,364 pounds, valued at $380,381. To the United States the export fell to the insignificant quantity of 171,873 pounds worth $5,422.

Chancellor Lloyd-ueorge In Introducing the budget was ihe >red when he stated that he had already wiped out tiie deficit, and that everything pointed to a better outlook in trade. The total under this heading amounted to £40,000,000. The chancellor ..nnonnced that there would be no reductions in the whisky tax despite a decrease in revenue from this source of £1,400,- 000.

Canadian trade figures are becoming so big that it is difficult for the lay mind to grasp them. However, the latest trade statements show Canada Is drawing very near to the billion mark. It does not seem so long ago that the hundred-million mark was passed. During the first wto months of the current fiscal year the total trade of Canada was over 106 millions, an increase of $25,250,- 000 as compared with the same period last year. At the present rate of increase the billion-dollar mark will be reached within two years. Today Canada's trade Is more than half that of France, and Is three times that of Spain. — MHI Hi : -— "i--*-—fnimifM PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Tuesday, July 12, 1910 % Diving Experiences % * . 'j After a record career of over forty- five years there has just retired on a Well-earned pension die doyen of deep-sea divers. This is William Mitchell, of Tilbury, England—still, In this, his sixty-seventh 'year, as hale and hearty an old fellow as one could wish to meet, and merry as a cricket. Well-nigh half a century of about the most dangerous and difficult Work that land or sea affords has not shattered his nerve or dulled his spirit. Only the other day, "just to show them he could do it," he donned the helmet and dress for the last time, and put in some excellent work far down beneath the muddy waters of the Thames at the new J. P. O. power station at Blackfriars. Besides his exploits as a diver, Mr. Mitchell has the added distinction of having been trained as a seaman- gunner on 11. M. S. Warrior, the first Iron-clad that was ever built. His instructor there was a certain Lieut. "Jackie" Fisher, now known to fame as Lord Fisher of Kiverstone. He was also in tbe crew that escorted Queen Alexandra over the North Sea to be King Edward's bride. He was on 11. M. S. Bellerophon al the opening of the Suez canal. In short, he had been pretty well everywhere, and seen almost everything before he had rally begun what was to be his life's work. "Still," he said to a reporter lately, "it is diving that interests me most of all, and fascinates me even after forty-five years. I began when I was on board H. M. S. Excellent, volunteering for the work more out of rivalry of the other young sailors than anything else. Well do I remember the first time I put on tin helmet, and felt the air pressing and drumming on my ears and bubbling in my blood, and went down alone into the dark world beneath the ship's bottom! Even in those days we were trained to go down to twenty fathoms—or 120 feet. "Since then it has been sheer love of the work that has kept me at it. It is not so much the danger and excitement that makes it fascinating. One soon gets used to that. One's mind is concentrated on one's work and one doesn't worry about anything else so long as one hears the throb of the pump going up above. "It is rather the fact that the diver has to put his brains into his work, and to rely perpetually upon his own resourcefulness. Only the diver knows his own difficulties. The engineer may make his plans, the men at the top may work their pumps and signals, but only the diver knows what it is like down there. "To begin with, oi course, there is the darkness. It is only in shallow or very clear water that one can see. Deep down one has just to grope in the dark and think things out. Then there are tides and currents that sweep one off one's feet. One's balance Is always precarious, and very often a signal from the men at the top will pull one over, and the clumsiness and weight of the dress are a continual hindrance. "As for adventures and hairbreadth escapes, I suppose I have had my share, but they have all been In the day's work, and I've never troubled much about them. I am glad to be able to say this, too—that never once in all my career have I known any neglect or carelessness on the part of comrades above. "Curiously enough, the worst time 1 ever had was not through the cutting off of the air supply, but through getting too much. It happened at Malta, when I was cleaning a ship's bottom, and had to lie on my back to the work. Somehow or other as I lay working there, the skull-cap Inside the helmet got shifted, and blocked up the waste-valve that lets out Hi'- air thai has been breathed. "Tin- result was that, without any vent, the whole dress soon got pumped out like a pneumatic tyre, and Ihe Bleeves struck out Btralgnl on either side, so that I couldn't bend or move my arms an Inch, and felt every moment that the affair would burst. "Yet worse remained behind, for when my comrades signalled and got no answer—I being helpless—they immediately rushed to the conclusion that I wanted more air, and went on pumping for all they were worth. Happily, just as I thought my end was come, I felt myself beginning to move, although I was pretty well wedged under the ship. When once I was clear, of course, thanks to the extra air, I went like an arrow to the top. "Another time I had an awkward hour in the cabin of a wreck near Hull, when a change of tide drifted a mass of spars and rigging on top of me, making me a complete prisoner. The longest time I have ever stayed under water at a stretch was also at Hull, when I worked once for six and a half hours continuously over a new wooden dam. The work— like nearly all diver's work—had to be done in a hurry, to avoid the silt from the river filling the greeves before the beams could be got in. I managed the business just in time, with the help of a fire-hose with which I blew the silt out. The lire-hole was my own idea, and I was rather proud of it. "You must not believe, by the way, quite all the yarns you hear of divers adventures. Never once, for instance, have i bad a fight with a shark, though I have dived pretty often in waters infested by them. The truth is that you have only to arrange for something in the way of an explosion before you go down and they won't come near you for the rest of the day." For the last thirty years, Mr. Mitchell has been working mostly at Hall and Tilbury, where be was the last person to tread dryfoot in the new dock before the water was let in. Of his early days in the navy, however, he has many stories to tell. As a matter of fact he was a special protege of the then Lieut. Fisher, who does not forget the old seaman even now. "I remember him well," said Mr. Mitchell, "when he first came aboard the Warrior. He had just come from the China station where he served on the Highflyer, and was already a marked man. Indeed, that was why he was commissioned to the Warrior. As being the first ironclad, it was to the people of those days very much what the Dreadnought is now. When ever we were in harbor we used always to have hosts of visitors inspecting the ship. "Well, the Lieut. 'Jackie' Fisher that I knew then was a splendid young officer, full of life, and devil ment, and as keen as mustard. He used to keep us at it, and no mistake, when we were at drill, but he was never harsh, and used often to shut his eyes to any little harmless pranks that the men might get up to in their spare time. He was up to a good many himself in „„ose days—I've known him black his face in the ward-room—and if there was any fun going on among the officers "lie was generally at the heart of it. "With it all, he took a personal interest in his men, and used to give me many a piece of sound advice in my work. He has not forgotten those days on the Warrior. When he got the Order of Merit, I made bold to write him my congratulations, and he sent me a letter In his own handwriting addressed 'Dear Mitchell,' and signed 'Yours, J. A. Fisher,' telling me that he appreciated my remembrances very deeply. Again when I was superannuated he wrote me another letter recalling our years together and wishing me a long life to enjoy my pension. "On the whole," added Mr. Mitchell, "I think the life on board the old sailing ships—for steam was only 'auxiliary' when I joined—was breezier and livelier than it is now. The bluejacket nowadays has more book learning, but he hasn't quite the active open-air life that we had. I always think that It was the pulling and hauling at the ropes and sails, and going over the mast-head every morning that gave me the health that has carried me through forty-five years of diving. "On the other hand, in my own department I can see the real advance that has been made. In the old days we divers knew nothing about the real facts of our Job—how the blood gets permeated with air like the soda-water In a syphon, and so on. The result was that we didn't know what to do when anything happened to us, and we just died. "Nowadays the whole thing has been gone into scientifically, and there are lectures and experiments In compressed air tanks; we understand matters ourselves, and the loss of life Isn't nearly so great as It used to be in the happy-go-lucky days. All through the service, too, tbe food Is better, Jinny's the time 1 have nearly fainted with hunger after 1. morning's work on dry biscuit. The battleship of today is like a hotel compared with the old-fashioned style. So everything lias it compensations." II, may be mentioned that Mr. Mitchell Is not the only diver of his family. His daughter and two daughters-in-law were the first ladies ever to go down to the sea-depths in diver's costume. One of the young ladies confided her experiences. She was not a bit frightened, she said, for she "knew father was on toil." She went down thirty-four feet, but saw nothing save dim white shapes of Utile fishes skimming by. The worst part of it all was getting into the dress on land for it was live or six times heavier then, and the pressure on the ears was almost Intolerable until tin- air got into the blood to resist it. Nothing, loo, was quite like ihe sense ut' lonellnesB when first she was locked In the helmet and the outer world shut off. Then there was a strange feeling of effervescence all over when she came out and the blood was clearing itself of the air. "But in the main," she said, "there is no real reason, except the need for mechanical knowledge and experience, why ladies should not dive just as well as men." o DEVELOPING COUNTRY Farm Machinery is Pouring Into Dis. tricts Tributary to This City Farm machinery of all descriptions destined for points as far away as Findlay river and including Babine lake, Stuart lake, Francois lake and Bulkley valley Is now piled up In the Hudson's Bay Company's yards and is being shipped out dally to the places of consignment, says the Omi- neca Herald of Hazelton. Three times as much farm machinery has arrived this year as in any previous season. There are now in the yard twenty mowers, twelve rakes, one tender, a fanning mill, threshing machine, besides wagons, plows, barrows, cultivators and a general assortment of every thing that goes toward equipping a farm. The mowers and other things going to Findlay River will be nearly all summer in transit and the freight will cost much moie than the original price of the machine. They will be packed on horses backs to Babine Lake, down the lake on a scow, hauled by wagon to Stuart lake, packed again to Fort McLeod on the Parsnip river and thence by canoe to Fort Graham on the Findlay river. o ACTIVITY IN MINES LAND PURCHASE NOTICES Skeena Land District—District of Cassiar.

Jy8 LAND PURCHASE NOTICES Hazelton District is Attracting Large Share of Attention Mining along the Skeena and its tributaries is very aci.ive and were it. not for the greater interest attaching to Stewart there is little doubt that there would be a decided rush into the districts which have their centres along the river and its tributaries. Recent arrivals from the districts testify to the excellent ?now- ings that are being made. B. L. Kinman after having assays made on ore taken from two claims on Four Mile Hill, out of Hazelton, has made the first payment. Sinking is in progress and it is understood to be Mr. Kinman's intention to keep a gang of men working until the property is fully opened up. The ore Is nearly if not quite the full width of the shaft, but it is in a streak of about eighteen inches on the hanging wall where the values chiefly lie. Attridge gave samples of this ore to W. W. Leach, the representative of the Dominion Geological Survey, last fall, when Mr. Leach was leaving the district. The ore was assayed at the government laboratory at Ottawa, returning 356 ounces In silver, besides values in gold, lead and copper amounting to a good many dollars more. Several other metals were also found to be present. Amos Godfrey, representing Vancouver people, recently purchased for cash Hugh McKay's claim on Nine Mile mountain near Hazelton. Mr. Godfrey visited the property a few days ago, before completing the deal. This gives the purchasing syndicate six claims on Nine Mile mountain. C. B. North, M.E., of Vancouver, accompanied by Harry Tanner of Seattle, arrived last Saturday and will inspect the Rand group of claims west of Telkwa. i nls group Is a copper proposition and was staked four years ago by Tanner and Dutch Kline. At present C. D. Rand, of Vancouver, is largely interested. Large bodies of copper ore have been found and the showing has made a favorable Impression on men who have been over the property. (1. T. Galloway, a mining export, recently visited the Buckskin group of claims on Bear rwer and upon his report plans for the future development of Hip property will be determined. It has already been decided lo put up cabins for winter quarters and work on these will commence in a few days. o Skeena Land District—District of Cassiar.

Acquire Highland Aline .Nelson.—The famous old Highland mine at Alnsworth, which during the year .1904 paid the government $27,- 000 in lead bounties, has been acquired by Vancouver capitalists, who have formed a company with a capital of $2,000,000, and the work of development, which was stopped last January by the old owners, will be proceeded with at once, The purchase price has not been given out, but it is a large figure. The equipment of the mine includes a 200-ton mill, operated by water power, a 5,500 foot aerial tram, compressor, boarding houses, assay office and the usual features. The mill will be at once overhauled and additional machinery installed, which will increase the amount of recovery twenty per cent. The officers of the Kootenay Silver-Lead Mines, Ltd., which has secured control of the property, are: Major Chas. McMillan, president; A. E. Duchesnay, vice-president; James S. B. O'Brien, secretary and treasurer of the Vancouver Fnan- ■cial Corporation. Good Fruit Crop New Westminster. — Everything points to a splendid fruit crop this year, according to W. J. Brandrith, assistant exhibition commissioner of British Columbia, who has made an extended trip through the upper country in the interests of the exhibits the provincial government will have at the leading exhibitions throughout the Dominion this summer and fall. There are many things that may still throw the fruit crop back this year, but at the present time Mr. Brantlith says there is every prospect of a good crop. Vernon's Building Vernon.—Work haB seen started on the new Dominion government building here. Contractor Cryder- man has a number of men and teams at work with scrapers and the work of excavating for the foundation is already well advanced. The building will be 40 feet wide and 80 feet deep and will consist of three storeys and a basement. The basement will be of concrete and the foundation walls which show above the ground level will be of granite. There will be a full basement 9 feet 3 inches deep. The walls of the structure will be of pressed brick, and the facings around the windows, cornices and doors will be of rock faced stone. The first floor is to be maple, with the lobbies and entrances elegantly tiled. The finishings and stall cases will be of mahogany. The upper floors will be In fir. Tct, main part of the ground floor will be used for the post office, with the usual wickets and boxes. The back wing will be used as a bonding warehouse for the customs and inland revenue departments. On the second floor will be found the customs and inland revenue offices, and one room is to be reserved for the new Indian officer. The upper flat will be fitted up in first class style for the use of the janitor, every convenience to be provided.

Indian Greeting Vancouver.—Whei Sir Wilfrid Laurler visits the coast this fall it is probable he will be greeted by representatives of all the tribes of Indians in the province. Chief Matthias of North Vancouver is arranging for the convention, the plans contemplating a big pow-wow at the North Vancouver mission, the chiefs coming over to Vancouver to formally meet the Dominion Premier. Chief Matthias states that the preliminaries have already been informally discussed on the several reserves, and the idea has been strongly favored. It is expected the gathering will be the largest assemblage of Indians ever held in British Columbia. Arrangements will probably be made in the official reception in Vancouver for the Indian chiefs to take part.

Jy8 Haptists Have Mission Boat Put on Arrow Lake To Work Old Shaft Skldegate.—The Old Shaft copper mine of Copper Bay, liueen Charlotte Islands, Is at last to be worked according to R. F. Sullivan, a well- known miner and prospector. Around this mine mere hangs an air of romance—the romance of mystery. That men could go to this spot, sink Into the earth a shaft. 200 feet In depth and go forth again into the world of their fellows, leaving no record in the minds of men, or even upon the retentive memories of savages (who must have seen them) of whence they came, when they, came or whither they went, under what circumstances they worked, with what sucecss or with what failure, here, indeed, is something of more than common interest. It Is generally conjectured that the unknown miners did their work about 35 years ago, the supposition being based upon the age of trees which were found growing over the mouth of the shaft, the latter having been carefully covered over by the men who dug it. At the time of Its discovery some four years ago, the shaft was unwatered, at which time It was The many residents of the Arrow Lake district from Robson to Arrow Head will be afforded opportunity for worship upon a floating, self- propelled church structure. A boat launched on Monday at the yards ot the Kootenay Motor Boat Company and especially built and fitted for the purpose will hereafter ply the lake as the official mission boat of the mission board of the Baptist Church of British Columbia. It will be in charge of Rev. D. M.

The boat will later have a regular itinerary which will be announced Its capacity is thirty. It is fitted with an eleven horsepower gasoline engine of the Smalley type, is twenty-six feet long, has table, oefl, lockers and cushions. A legacy of £100 sterling by Miss Annie uane of England some two years ago made possible the present accomplishment. This contribution was, however, added to materially by others in Toronto which brought the fund to a total of $1,400. As the boat cost $1,059, a balance remains for field work. Dedicatory services were held at Robson on the boat moored at the C. P. R. dock. Addresses were delivered by Dr. N. Wolverton of Nelson, Rev. Dr. McDermld of Brandon, Rev. A. N. Frith of Nelson, Rev.

Line He is Opposed to City Taking Over Work Done Now By Private People Aid. Pattullo, while he is ready to admit that being an alderman of the city of Prince Rupert is "not all beer and skittles," draws the line at undertaking the duties of scavenger His pronounced views on that subject led to hot words for a few minutes at Saturday evening's council meeting, between himself and Aid Hilditch. Aid. Hilditch, reporting for the health committee, recommended an appropriation for scavenger work. Aid. Pattullo was astonished at this recommendation and on inquiry as to what it meant was informed by Aid. Hilditch that on the recom mendatlon of the sanitary officer "we would have to do the scavenger work" if the work was to be done properly. A hot discussion followed, during which it was explained that "we" did not mean that Aid. Pattullo and Aid. Hilditch would have to look after the work, but the council would have to have the scavenging done directly under its own officers to ensure its being carried out. But this did not satisfy Aid. Pattullo in the least. He protested against the city taking up any such work. It had plenty to do now. Aid. Hilditch said the sanitary officer announced that It was impossible to have the city's health properly ensured unless it took charge of the scavenging which was now imperfectly done. Aid. Mohley did not approve of the city taking over this work at present. Other aldermen disapproved of it, nlso, and thought tbe sanitary officer could see that the rules laid down were enforced. Accordingly the recommendation did not find favor. o Licenses Laid Over (Co. t nued from Fage One) The particular point involved in this case was submitted to the Attorney General by His Worship the Mayor when in Victoria, and it was pointed out to him that the Board In anticipation of the appointment sat upon the 8th and adjourned. The Attorney General with the facts before him was of the opinion (hat tbe Commissioners would be "absolutely In order" in granting licenses. As many cases of this description must have come to the attention of the Attorney General on previous occasions, we think that the Board Is quite safe in relying upon his statement. Incidentally it should be noticed that the License Department Is a branch of the Attorney General's and we think that he is in a position to speak, and further we would say that It is our opinion that no personal liability will be incurred by the Commisioners if they see fit to' take steps towards granting licenses. Should your board desire it, we shall at once communicate with Victoria with a view to obtaining the regulations governing appointments to office, In order that we may be in a better position to know the exact status of appointees. Yours truly, WILLIAM'S & MANSON. V. W. Smith, Esq., July 9, 1910 City. Re Board of License Commissioners. Dear Sir: — 1 have your letter requesting ti legal opinion as to whether you were appointed as a License Commissioner cm tin- 7th or 9th of June, A. H. 1910: tin- racta being as s'-t out in the following telegram: "Victoria, B.C., Tib .Inly, 1910. "V. W. Smith, Prince Rupert, B.C. "Order in Council appointing Smith and Merryfield passed Coun- cll 7th June, approved by Lieutenant Governor 9th June. H. A. Maclean." The Municipal Clauses Act says the two members of the Board other than the Mayor) are to be appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council. This means by Ihe Lieutenant Governor acting by and with the advice of the Executive Council- Interpretation Act, Sec. 10, S. S. 7.—■ and ns the Lieutenant Governor did not act in this matter until the 9tli of June, I am Irresistibly led to the conclusion that you were not appoint' 'il until that date and that consequently you could not legally sit as a Licensing Court until the second Wednesday in September of this year Yours Truly, L. W. PATMORE. July 9, 1910. J. E. .Merryfield, Esq., -Member of License Board, Prince Rupert, B. C. Dear Sir:—In reply to your inquiry as to whether or not the Board of License Commisisonei's have any power to grant licenses before September, I may say that I have given the matter my attention and beg to submit my opinion on the question. I have come to the conclusion that the board have not the power to grant any license until September and may give my reasons for this opinion as follows: — Under sub-section "C" of section 182 of the "Municipal Clauses Act," the sittings of the Board are a statutory fixture, viz., on the second Wednesday In March, June, September and December and these dates cannot be altered or varied, and the Board have no right to sit and hear any applications except on those dates other than on days to which they have adjourned from the legal day and then only to hear applications which were in order on the legal day from which they adjourned. It is shown In the Gazette that the appointment of the Board of Commissioners was made on the 9th of June this being the day after the legal day fixed for the sittings—therefore they canot legally sit and hear any application until the second Wednesday in September. There seems to be some question as to whether or not the appointments were made on the 7th of June, but I am strongly of the opinion that they were not. The Council evidently sat on the 7th and recommended the appointment of yourself and Mr. Smith and the Governor assented to this apointment on the 9th, when the said appointment was Gazetted. This is evidenced by tbe telegram Mr. Smith holds saying that "the appointment will be made today," this telegram being dated the 9th. I might also refer you to Section 10, Chap. 71 of the "Evidence Act," which says that the evidence of any appointment should he given by production of tho official Gazette containing a copy of said appointment. You will see, therefore, that if a license was granted and application was made to set it aside on tho grounds that tho Commissioners had no jurisdiction, the only evidence necessary to show the date of the appointment, would be the production of the Gazette showing the appointment to be of tho 9th June, and there is no question that the Commissioners having sat on the Sth, that any application would be Illegal. Another point 1 might mention Is that, taking for the sake of argument the Commissioners were rightly appointed on the Sth June, I may say that no applications were In order on that date, not having been sufficiently advertised, and the fact that the meeting of the Board adjourned from the Sth to some subsequent date In order to let the advertisement run Its full time, could not put the application in order, for a matter out of order on the day It Is heard Is still out of order on the adjourned date, and It Is only these matters which are legally before the Commissioners, that can be adjourned and dealt with at subsequent meetings. On these two points, therefore, I say that it is not legal to rant any licenses until September. Yours truly, W. B. FISHER. j Marine News of the Coast f ;•**•:••:« •:•*• HIE HALIBUT TRADE His' Worship the Mayor, upon the presentation of the correspondence, at once took issue. He did not see why opinions outside of the regularly appointed city solicitors had been sought. The opinions given by Messrs. Patmore and Fisher he considered out of order at this meeting. Commissioner Merryfield at once replied that be had sought Mr. Fisher's opinion because he failed to get an opinion on the points from the city solicitors. Solicitor Manson, who was present said they had bis opinion, and he was prepared to stand by it. Commissioner Merryfield retorted that there was nothing to stand by in that opinion. Commissioner Smith said that he sought a legal opinion from Mr. Patmore in the hope of serving as a guide to the board. He proposed, in view of the opinions given by the solicitors, to lay over the granting of licenses until September. Mayor Stork then repeated the conversations he had had with the Provincial Secretary and the Attorney General in Victoria relative to the appointments. He felt that the Board could proceed with the granting of licenses and was prepared to do it. Commissioner Smith said thai while he was prepared to giant li- censes if it could be done legally, he felt that tbe position was such thai The Pacific Whaling Company, as has been previously announced, is making preparations to enter the halibut fishing industry in connection with the whaling, and du 'ing tbe winter season their steam whalers will operate at fishing. For some time past the heads of the company have been trying to arrange not to have the steamers lie off during the winter, but without any success. The fishing, however, can be carried on, and, as the boats will have the advantage of being able to enter British Harbors and secure bait there, they will undoubtedly make a success of it. Freezing plants will be established at Kyuquot, Sechart and Rose Harbor, and from these ports it will be possible to handle the fish quickly and ship in the very best of condition. Steam whaler Germania, the latest acquisition of the Whaling company, has been reported at San Diego, and is expected in about ten days, when she will at once come north to the Rose Harbor station. The William Grant, which has been hunting on the west coast, will also come to the new station. The steamers to be operated in the halibut fishing will be the Orion, St. Lawrence, William Grant, Sebastian and Germania.

LARGEST LIGHT Triangle Island Will Have Most Powerful Aid on This Coast GLORY OF THE SEAS Ship Glory of the Seas, formerly owned, operated and commanded by Captain Freeman, of Victoria, and the clipper of the coast, is loading coal at Ladysmith for Unalaska. She was purchased in the spring by Captain I McDonell for a syndicate to engage in the hardwood trade with the South Sea Islands. She is taking the cargo of coal to Alasa rst and will later outfit for the south. Tho present owners of the Glory of the Seas tried to buy the schooner "The new lighthouse which will be erected on the top of Triangle Island will be the largest on the coast," says Colonel Anderson, chief engineer of the marine and fisheries department of the Dominion government who Is now on the coast. "The site is not in every way ideal, as it is at times obscured, but the top of the island is the only place from which it may be seen in every direction. During clear weather it is expected that the light will be seen one hundred miles from the island, which will be a great convenience to mariners. It will be a higher-power light than Pachena or any of the others nt present on the coast." Colonel Anderson is here on one of his periodic tours of inspection, especially in connection with the installation of the substation of the department at Prince Rupert. He will go up the west coast and inspect all the new work which has been done, or which is being planned. While in the north he will visit Queen Charlotte Islands arid other points. IN GOOD SHAPE When the Henrietta was hauled out on the ways at Victoria to undergo her overhaul, a minute Inspection of her hull was made when it was found that she was in first class condition in every respect. The wood work was as sound as when first put in place and the vessel is good for many years service.

MOTOR BOAT RACE Provided Ihe motor boat race from Alaska lo Puget Sound waters, which is due to take place next month, finishes at Vancouver instead of Seattle, Dr. A. R. Baker of Vancouver they could not grant them. He, therefore, moved that all applications lie laid over until the September meeting. This motion was seconded by Commissioner .Merryfield and carried, the meeting then adjourning. has undertaken to secure tho sum of $1,000 for prize money. On Dr. Baker making his offer to ex-Eccrctary Foulser of (lie P. I. P. B. A., the latter arranged for tho finish to take placo r.t Vancouver an far as it was possible in tho last few days, and yesterday he said it was a practical certainty that tho terminus of the race next month would be shifted from Seattle to Vancouver. Heretofore the race has been started at Ketchikan and the boats have raced down the coast to Seattle, but as Seattle is to be cut out this year, a new starting place will have to be determined upon, and it is probable that some of the northern cities between Vancouver and Nome will be given an opportunity to have the race start in their harbor. Stewart or Prince Rupert are likely places to make a bid for the race this summer, and from whichever of these places the race starts the boats will go north to Ketchikan and then return south to Vancouver. The probable date of the start of the long distance race Is August 15th. There are likely to be as many as ten entries in the race this year, five or six of these having definitely arranged for the trip. They are: the Chaos, the Wanderer, the Limit; Dr. A. R. Baker has promised that he will have a new 60-footer built for this race which will be fitted with a specially built Brooks engine; the Marana II, B. F. Jacobs of Tacoma, which is a 45-foot riplica of ihe Ilys, designed by Bowes & Watts and one of the champion boats of the eastern coast. Probable entries expected although not definitely determined yet, are the Easthope, now known as the Konomlc, tbe Sumner, the Soya and perhaps Simpson & Greenwood's Jessie. W. E. Boeing Is contemplating entering In this race a magnificent new 100-foot cruiser, designed by Henry Gielow of New York City, with 200 horse-power Eastern Standard engines. If there Is any boat in sight for the race that could give the big 100-footer a race tbe new craft will be entered.

He promptly followed these remarks by scoring four bulleyes. What little of England he has seen Cheow Kim likes exceedingl5'.
