THE WEARING DOWN PROCESS IN HOUSE Liberal Supporters of the Government at Ottawa Will Cut off Speech Making on Reciprocity and Pursue a Policy of Allowing Opposition to do all the Talking. (Special to The Journal) OTTAWA, May 2.—Whatever may be the outcome of the political ituation, theres was nothing In the house proceedings yesterday to indicate the eventual attitude of the two parties. The debate on the reciprocity pact was resumed in the afternoon by Mr, Nantel, Nationalist, who spoke in opposition to the agreement. He was followed by Mr. Turriff, on the other side, nad the third and last speech of the sitting was by Mr. Sharpe, of Lisgar, Manitoba, who replied with a contradiction to Mr. Turriff's assertion that the western provinces were overwhelmingly in favor of reciprocity. Alphonse Verville (Labor Liberal) endorsed the agreement. It is said that, after one more Liberal has spoken the government will allow the opposition to carry on the discussion unopposed and that then the wearing down process will begin.

Col, Davis Makes Recommendations As to the Filling of Vacancies and Promotions At the meeting of the city council last night the resignation of F. S. Clements, first assistant engineer on Hie city staff, and G. Tooker, also of the staff, were received through the engineer, Colonel Davis. The recommendations of Colonel Davis wer that A. S. B. Lucas, chief draughtsman, be made principal assistant engineer with a salary of $175 a month or an Increase of $25; that H. Simpson, draughtsman, be made chief draughlsman at $108.33, an Increase of $8.33; (hat 0. T. Howard be second assistant engineer ut $125, an Increase of $25; thai A. E.

McKnlght be draughtsman nnd assistant on construction, at $100 Instead of $90; that an expert municipal engineer be engaged to succeed Mr. Tooker at asalary not to exceed $100. The resignations were accepted and the matter of filling vacancies and altering salaries left to be dealt with later. o C. B. Clayton, who left here' it few weeks ago for Vancouver, has now gone on to Fort George, wliere he will spend some months at least. o Jarvis McLeod, of the customs department here, left for the south ou Sunday, being called away by the serious Illness of Mrs. McLeod. The police commissioners met yes- terda yafternoon when the question of increased accommodation for police headquarters was taken up ou the suggestion of Chief Vickers. The police have been occupying temporary quarters in the little shack about 10 .eet by 12 feet on the government reserve. The building is inadequate and but poorly adapted in any way for a police station. Police court has to be held there and so unstable is the building that the magistrate has to cease writing whenever anyone walks across the room. The chief has no private quarters whatever and must answer the phone during the progress of court from the same table that the magistrate is using. The chief in calling attention to the inadequacy of the quarters, yesterday did not complain nor did he mention these iacts. He simply stated that the quarters were very small and rendered it difficult to carry on the work properly. Suggestions were made by the commissioners as to how the matter could be overcome and finally after visiting the place it was decided to put up a cheap temporary building at the corner of Fourth street and Third avenue on the government reserve. When the matter came up before the commissioners Aid. Kirkpatrick favored building a small unpreten tious building as a temporary quarters. This would be cheaper than paying rent. The shack now used was costing $15 a month. The premises vacated by the Bank of Montreal would cost at least $40. It was decided to give notice that the present building would be vacated, at the end of the month and the commissioners proceeded then to visit the location with the object of seeing' if something else could not be done to meet the immedia* > needs. M. M. Stephens suggested building in rear of the electric light building with access to the jail and court house through the alley in rear of the lots. The building to be erected will bo about 20 feet by 30 feet and will not cost much. The remaining business before the commissioners did not require very much attention. Accounts were passed for the month. These were larger than usual owing to the fact that a number of specials had to bo employed during the time of tho labor trouble. There was probably nearly $1,000 extra expense Involved on that account. The chief reported on the cases coming up during the month. Ha outlined the action of the police with respect to the labor troubles. He also reported that several vagrants had been ordered out upon arrival In the city. His Worship said he felt that tho chief was to be complimented upon the way In which he had conducted the police affftlrs during rather troublesome limes. CITY WILL DO WORK Decision Reached to Carry on Street Improvements Under That System. it Is Contended by the Council That Kelly & Mclmiis Have Not Contract for Retaining Wall DISTRICT MEETING Methodist Delegates to Gathering Here Will Discuss Church Union Tonight The district meeting of the Methodist church is being held here this week. This evening the first meeting of the session will be held with Rev. G. Raley, chairman of the district, presiding. Supper is to be served the delegates in the church at 6 o'clock. At 8 o'clock a public session will be held when the question of the church union will be discussed. This comes up as a reference from the conference to be discussed preparatory to being dealt with by recommendation at conference. The proposition is that of a union of the Methodist church with the Presbyterians and the Congregationalists. The different branches of the churches are favorably Inclined to the union. The city council last evening herd a number of applications in connection with the street work in the corporation. A report from the streets committee was received dealing with the question of the retaining wall on First avenue where Kelly & Mclnnis have a contract. The contractors had written stating that their contract called for the building of the wall which was being done by the city. The report of the engineer was that there was no misunderstanding that they were to be awarded Ihe contract for the wall and he did not think they had such in their"'contract. The committee reported in compliance with the engineer's statement that the work be continued by the city. Aid. Kerr said he did not believe that Kelly & Mclnnis ever intended to build a retaining wall. It cost the city over $1,000 to remove the rock dumped there. Denton and Williams having given up their contract on Seventh avenue from Fuiton to Dunsmuir streets, the street committee recommended that a new contract be called for. A suggestion was made that it might be done by'day labor or by staion work. Aid. Morrissey thought this should be undertaken by contract. Aid. Newton favored the work being done by day labor. Aid. Clayton thought the public works department could carry this e*.e. ' This .wat. ordinary work and he thought it could be done this way. Aid. Morrissey, while a supporter of the day labor system if properly carried out. Information was not available as to what tlie work being done by. the ctiy was costing. Until this information was available he did not feel like having more done under the day labor system. Aid. Kerr said the information as Jie retaining walls on Fraser street, showed that it cost only $1.55 a yard, which was far cheaper than any contractor offered to do it for. It was decided to have the work done by the public works department of the city. ' Aid. Kerr asked if a city contractor could compel employees to board at his boarding house where Chinese wer employed. His Worship said that it was not legally possible to force any workman to board at a particular place. Aid. Morrissey suggested that it there was any contractor employing Chinese labor he should have his attention called to the fact that It wns not to be tolerated. It was decided to refer this to the streets committee for report. E. Rosang asked an extension of time for the completion of his contract. He complained that (here had been unavoidable delay. This was referred to the committee for report. O. Head offered to accept the position of rat catcher at $00 a month or 5 cents a nil. The Daughters of the Umpire of Victoria asked tno city to InKe part in a coronation display lo he hold In thai city, A petition was received asking permission lo erect a sidewalk on the west side of Second avenue between Seventh and Eighth streets and that permission be allowed to use the plank taken from the roadway. This was referred (o the streets committee. Tenders for scavenger work and for supplying cans were opened and having been read were referred to the streets committee. TO RUSH WORK IN OPENING UP COUNTRY Trails to be Cut Through the Skeena and Naas Valley at Early Date This Summer—Efforts Will be Made to Open Up the District Which is to Act as Feeder to City. R. O. Jennings, road superintendent, has returned to the city aft^r making a trip of exploration from the Skeena to Stewart preparatory to starting a busy season on the trails in the district. The trip, taken at the season he did it, was a trying one. He had to walk from mUe 142 on the Skeena to mile 168. Then from Kilmangar he made his way overland to Stewart, covering 160 miles of the way on snow shoe;. His route took him through the Kitmancool Valley and by way of Cranberry River. Mr. Jennings as road superintendent, is concerned mostly in the matter of finding a way for roads to,open up the *est territory und does not care to express an opinion on the character of the country. He, however, is satisfied that there is a vast area of land there which will become settled up quickly. The clearing in many parts will not be a heavy task. In addition to the 100-mile trail which is to be hurried to completion as soon as possible, theie will be a 100-mile branch built from Kitsuni- kalum to conect with this main one.. There will be another branch from Alice Arm to connect with the main way, so that easy accese from four points may be given with the interior, from Stewart, from Alice Arm, from Kitsumkalum and from Kit- mangar. ELECTRIC SIGN Permission to Erect One in the City Is Asked by Phoenix Theatre SEEKING A SEWER Yesterday being May Day, a large number of labor men observed the time-honored custom of hold'ng a parade and delivering speeches in public in the cause of labor. Thej parade was held in the evening, the speaking place being on the reserve at the end of Fifth street. Several speeches were made in favor of the cause of trades unionism. Red badges were worn by those taking part. The management of the Phoenix Theatre asked the privilege of the city council last night to erect an eelctric sign in front of their place. The question of the regulations of last year then came up in connection with it. Aid. Clayton said he had been forced to remove a sign that projected over a street. He had i > objection to these illuminated signs, however. It, would mean the selling of power by the city, would give additional light to the street and would encourage an industry in the city. Aid. Morrissey thought the bylaw would likely have to be amended before anything could be done. It was finally decided to refer Ihis to the streets committee, who will inspect the place and report back to the council, which is given power to grant permission under tlie bylaw. Borden Street Residents Want to Have Work Done Under Local Improvement Plan. Committee Will Consider the Proposition and Report Hack lo Council TO AVOID ACCIDENTS City Council Has to Deal With the Question of Street Traffic. Runaway on Street Results in Loss I of Horse Belonging to Transfer Company Yesterday afternoon a runaway took place on Third avenue, which resulted In one of u team of hoivc.-e belonging to the Union Transfer be- ing killed. The team ran from the top of the hill on Third to McBride. Falling to make the turn there they dashed into tlie rock embankment, where one horse became badly torn | anil broken so that It was necessnn | to despatch it. Lasl night the subject enme be I fore the city council, a communication was rend from the Union Transfer Company, In which attention j was called to the accident due to a automobile and asking for actio '>c j Ing Inken to regulate the travel >f| mil us on the streets and avoid future ' accidents. His Worship suggested this be re Ferred lo the chief of police.. Aid. Morrissey thought thiB should be given attention. He Instanced cases where ladies had to get off the plank way out of the wav of fast drivers and runaways. Aid. Smith explained that tha auto in this instance was half a block away from the team that ran away. No one was holding tlie team. He thought as much blame attached to Hie driver. He was not trying to defend the auto driver. All he wanted to call attention to was the fact that there was also some blame attaching to the drivers of horses. It was decided to refer the communication to the chief of police with a request that he take steps to have the danger of accidents overcome. The- residents of Borden street wish to hive a sewer installed on thai avenue as a work of local improvement. T< j street is quite well built up and the . led of a sewer is 'elt. At the council meeting last n'ght a delegation appeared asking for this work. Several of the delegation could not attend and W. E. Williams and Thos McClymont re.i- resentcd the property owners. W. E. Williams, speaking for the delegation, said the residents felt that it would be cheaper to pay for the sewer under the local improvement plan rather than by using the ga.'bag-; system. He though! it could be connected with the Fraser street sewer. Thos. McClymont supported tho contention of Mr. Wi! ii ms. His Worship asked Mr. Williams ir he had °ny idea as to what. it. voulri , ..)„• Mr. Williams said lie did not know. His Worship pointed out that the council, with a large water proposition with which to grapple, was re- lue'tant to undertake anything that would run into a large expenditure mid that would affect the credit of the city. Aid. Morrissey askel If this was. the sewerage system which it was' estimated would cost $198,000, Aid. Kerr said that this « ..- not the case. The cost could not h, very great. The matter was referred to iho strecis committee for report. DENIES THE CHARGES Ho* F luk Oliver Will A iswer Insinuates Made Against H in tr Telegram.

Writer in News-Advertiser Believes Tliat This Will Follow Will the Pacific slope of Canada develop a type of woman peculiar *o Itself? The question has occurred 10 me frequently, and the more 1 consider it the more I am Inclined to thing il should lie answered In the affirmative, wrlteB Josephine, In tlie News-Advertiser. My reason for thinking so? Well, even before I came to the coast, it had often occurred to me when, in the capacity of exchange editor, 1 was compelled to read rather closely the news of east and west, that Hie western women were of a rather progressive type, and I have even been guilty sometimes of holding them up as an example to their, in my opinion, slower eastern sisters. And now that I see them at closer range I am still more confirmed In the Impression formed at a distance. Haven't they women's clubs of all kinds that discuss everything in the world, and a whole lot more besides, as Paddy said, an active Local Council of Women that keeps a sharp lookout on Ihe civic and social life of the city; several educational clubs that discuss all manner of profound subjects; half a dozen societies that busy themselves chiefly in inculcating patriotism, another body with the "Made Canada Fair" in hand which is going tc make the world sit up and take notice that there is such a place as British Columbia, and which is going to he one of the biggest advertising features that has been pulled off for some time; and isn't there a Political Equality League quietly and unostentatiously spreading the doctrine that women, if they lay their heads to It, can use the ballot quite as wisely as the hordes of naturalized citizens who make up a large proportion of our population nnd last of all, haven't the women been busy all winter studying parlia mentary proceedings so that they can conduct meetings according to Hoyle I Mr. Bourinol) without all talking at once, or getting huffy and not speaking to one another? But you are jesting, some of my readers may hint. Indeed. I'm not. I never was more serious in my life. 1 am quite sure that I never ran across women wemen anywhere, except possibly tiie Australians (who had the franchise for some years, and, on ac- ccunt of the responsibility which this privlege imposes, have learned to discuss large public questions in the most, matler of fact way imaginable, just as if women were supposed to understand such things, and who yet seem to have lost none of their old relish for mere chiffons), who can handle a business proposition or acquit themselves gracefully at a pink tea Hie way Vancouver women can. Why Ihe v. ay some women I know here dabble in slocks and shares and bonils, and dismiss In the most well- irformed manner good and bad buys in real estate is enough lo make an old country or an eastern woman, who depends on some male relative to supply both Intellect and pocket money, gasp. And not only do these women dabble in bonds and discuss real estate, (hey make money oul of these' commodities, Inn Indeed, I know some who are building up nice little fortunes nut of them, girls who in (lino past came w('>i tee :i Ihirty-dollar-ii-iiiiiiilh position, caught the "western spirit" and forthwith Bel themselves to build up a competence tor themselves. And it. is nol that these western wemen love the foibles of life less, bm they love practical things more. In gaining a wider grasp of business and public affairs they seem to be parting with none of their femininity. They pay as much attention to riiess as ever, indeed, some aver that they pay more (using "pay" in all senses), and it is claimed that nowhere in Canada, or anywhere else for that matter, considering the size of the place, do the women dress so well. Nor do they neglect the social amenities of life. The western woman differs from others In that, she mixes the grave and gay in just proportion. She is like one of those confections with a frothy meringue oi. top and a good deal of satisfying cvstard beneath, or like a glass of good champagne (does champagne foam?) a good deal of refreshment capped with a covering of attractive foam. Thus many of these western women devote the morning to a wise administration of their homes, the afternoon to social frivolities, and in the evening their day is not complete until they have digested the daily newspapers, editorials and all, for it is necessary to keep pace with the march of affairs, to see how the government's manipulation of crown lands will affect their holdings, or the carpenters' strike their building operations. It seemed to me I caught a glimpse of what the modern woman ol the west will be, the other evening, when at King Edward school I heard those little slips of high school girls delivering themselves in essays and speeches in such a masterly fashion. Apparently the thirty odd years during which women have enjoyed lhe> privilege of higher edu- ii'tlon have not been without their effect, and whatever may have been the intellectual disabilities of our grandmothers, the young girl of the prsent day displays an ability to grasp ideas, to reason for herself, yea, and to express herself, in no way inferior to that possessed by her brother. And yet if we are to judge by the attitude of that clear- eyed girl who pleaded so earnestly lor the maintenance of the sanctity nf the home, the modern woman will lose none of her womanliness and will be a better and more intelligent wife and mother for her broader and more intellectual training. Nor will she be less lovable or less desirable socially. Of that I am sure, for as I stood waiting for the car the night of the oratorical contest a group of little girls beside me were bubbling over with enthusiasm, hugging themselves with delight over the success of their comrades, and incidentally making copious comparisons between the dispositions of the different girls. All were just as lovable as they were clever, except one. She was just too clever. "Nobody liked her;" in other words, she wasn't clever enough to wear her cleverness gracefully; and should she read these lines I would strongly recommend her to overcome the disagreeable tendency as soon as possible. But that is not what I was talking about. What I really wished to say was that the new woman's cleverness will not detract from her attractiveness. Summing' up, shortly then, I would say that I believe the west will develop a type of woman of its own; that she will be strong, sweet and lovable; and that while she rules her own house well she will be capable of reaching out and taking an active interest in wider public affairs as well. Indeed I am glad that there is sucli a tendency evinced already to study politics and political affairs, for I shouldn't wonder a bit if when they get things out. Both parties are short on statesmen, and the stuff from which great leaders are made; and, as, judging from the results of the contest the other evening, the orators of the future are to be women, I shouldn't wonder a bit if the ranks of the new woman of the west would be appealed to for "cabinet timber," and she with her good sense, her savoir (aire and her sense of humor (I have not time to explain why, but I notice that is to be another of her strong characteristics) be invited to come down there to help clean out the Augean stables and straighten oul the nation's badly-tangled affairs. THE WHITE ENSIGN Admiral Kingsmill Hopes to See the Flag of British Navy Fly on Canadian Ships. He Does Not Want to See Other Than One Emblem Used in Empire To have themselves publicly called out of a crowded place of entertainment on the pretense that they are wanted by importunate patients Is supposed to be one of the stock methods of advertising resorted (o by doctors who wish to build up n practice. A young physician tried the dodge with disappointing results not long back, lie instructed his man servant tei come to the stage door of the theatre and say that a patient of bis was in urgent need of attention. "Itlght you are, sir," said the siTvnnt, with a solemn wink. "You leave It to me. I'll manage It all right." But. apparently the manservant exceeded instruction in his zeal, for when, at the end of the second act, the manager came before the curtain what he said was: "If Dr. B is in the audience I am requested to tell him that he is wanted at once, as the poor fellow he gave physic to this afternoon has been having fits ever since." o Mr. Sopht: I see some fellah has an article In the papah entitled "Have we two bwalns or one." What do you think cf the question, Miss Fligh? Miss High: Well, really between you and me, I think we have only one. Notable utterances were made by Rear-Admiral Kingsmill, Colonel Denlsoin of the Royal Canadian Regiment, and Captain Macdonald of II. M. S. Niobe, at the dinner of St. George's Society In Halifax, recently in reference to the flag that they believe should be flown by ships of the Canadian navy. There has been some talk of a change In the white ensign for the Canadian navy, but these officers are against any change. They all spoke in favor of retaining the white ensign of England and against any changes in etnbellishniet or mutilations in it whatever. "Today we have in the harbor," said Admiral Kingsmill, "the Niobe flying the white ensign. I hope it will always remain so flying." It did not seem creditable to him, he said, that that flag should ever be done away with in any manner or changed in any form, if we are to have a great navy or be a part of the Britisii navy. He did not know that anything of the kind was being considered by the authorities here or in Great Britain, but he believed it had been considered in Australia. He sincerely hoped it would not be in Canada. If such a change were to become effective it would be the end of our navy. Colonel Denison dwelt particularly on the fact that our army and navy as expressed on the toast list were Imperial, not local or auxiliary. Captain Macdonald, the commander of the Niobe, said he was pleased that his ship was filled with men who are a credit to any nation. Many of them were French-Canadians and none of them did themselves or their nationality more honor as sailors than they. o Landlady—You've either got to pay your rent or leave. DeadbroKe—Oh, thanks.

WWWttlKiJ.WIfflKI,k I GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC w n TOWNSITE ELLISON The only Nain Line Town- site in British Columbia in which the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company has announced its joint ownership. ELLISON SEE THE OFFICIAL MAP.—The first glance will show you that ELLISON is located at the junction of the Skeena River and the Bulk- ley Valley. The Grand Trunk Pacific has announced that they are joint owners in the townsite of Ellison. Now, my dear reader, you must remember that up to date the Grand Trunk Pacific has not announced that it has any interest in any other main line towsite in Britisii Columbia. Does that start you thinking? o STUDY THE MAP and you will find Ellison is where the railway tracks leave navigation. That fact is a very important one for conservative investors to think over. What is known as the Hazelton district covers a territory many miles in extent in every direction radiating from the townsite of Ellison. Mining machinery, ore shipments, smelters, reduction plants and all sorts of mining operations starting up in this rich mineral region, must necessarily have a metropolis, a HUB, a headquarters. If- any sane, conservative man can figure out any other spot except Ellison for the hub of the great commerce of this district, his plan should be very inter esting to the Grand Trunk Pacific officials. It does seem as though these officials, after several years of investigation and engineering, would know just what they were doing when they put their official stamp on Ellison. o STUDY THAT MAP.—I desire to say to all parties who are talking townsites in the vicinity of Skeena River and the Bulkley Valley that there will no doubt be several small towns, just the same as one always finds in a mining district. There will be towns in tlie vicinity of Ellison along branch railways, piobahly towns at the ends of branch lines made to serve the mines and the collieries, but it will be history repeating itself in regard to the building up of every metropolis. Ellison has every natural advantage, has every earmark of being the future mercantile and financial center of the Skeena River mining district and the entrance to the Bulk- ley Valley. STUDY THAT MAP and you will find that all of the mining towns and railroad towns around there just beginning to be talked about, will only be feeders to the city and port of ELLISON. The Grand Trunk Pacific has put Its official stamp on Ellison. Do you believe the company will do as much for townsites owned by individuals as it will for one in which its stockholders are joint owners? If you do, don't buy any lots in Ellison. If you desire to make a permanent investment, or merely to make a little quick money, you must decide for yourself right now. Do you propose to follow the individual townsite promoters or the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company. 0 STUDY THAT MAP.—If you desire to put your money into a real estate promoter's townsite you will have many, many opportunities this summer. The average promoter is full of hurrah and red fire. He must enthuse investors of the mail order class with his wares. ELLISON is in the Missouri class. Therefore, I am not telling any fairy tales about it. I am making statements that can be readily verified. . o STUDY THAT MAP.—If you want to join that great army of investors-at-long-range, then you should put your money into promoters' townsites. If you want a perfectly safe and sound investment, certain to bring you large profits, then put your money where the Grand Trunk Pacific, after years of careful investigation, have put their money. STUDY THAT MAP.—It is not likely the Grand Trunk Pacific will have any other townsite in British Columbia for sale this year. The officials of the company state that the company is not interested in any townsite in the Hazelton district with the exception of ELLISON. ELLISON is on the bank of the Skeena at its confluence with the Bulkley. You may change railway surveys; you may change the location of towns along the line of road, but you cannot change the geography of the country through which the railway passes. The head of navigation necessarily means an important townsite. Ellison will not only be at the head of navigation but the center of a mining district wonderful in its resources that is now being opened up, and for which Ellison will be the shipping point both by rail and water. The fact that trains may change engines up or down the line or in the suburbs of the town of Ellison does not amount to shucks in building up a town when such places are compared witli a town located where rails and navigation meet. STUDY THAT MAP.—You will find on the official plan of Ellison that a large part of the town- site has been reserved for future sales, the same as the company has done with certain sections of Prince Rupert townsite. There are, therefore, at this time, comparatively few lots on the market. You must hurry if you want one. o STUDY THAT MAP.—ROGERS' ADDITION to Ellison, only a small parcel of land, lies within eight blocks of the site of the railway station. Lots in this are being offered. I am advising my clients to buy Rogers Addition lots at $150 for inside lots and t-50 for corners. Terms—10 per cent discount for cash, or 10 per cent down and the balance on easy terms; no interest. LOTS IN ELLISON TOWNSITE AND ROGERS ADDITION FOR SALE PRINCE RUPERT British Columbia ^IWRflWWWWWW!

Mountain Guides Will Muke Homes There—Will Re in View of Travellers Switzerland is not in America, but htose on this continent, who wish to have a glimpse of Swiss life in Swiss settings, after a few months, will not have to cross the Atlantic to obtain it. The little European republic is not to be moved bodily from where it is—though room in plenty could be found for a score or more of Switzerlands in the Canadian Rockies—but a typical Swiss village is to be created that will give visitors to that wonderful sea of mountains a very comprehensive idea of the home, the habits and the customs of the hardy mountaineers from across thej sea. A permanent home for the corps of Swiss guides win, are annually brought over by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company to assist mountain climbers in their ascents is being established in a part of the Rockies lhat will suit their native characteristics and afford them during months of otherwise comparative Idleness ample opportunities for further development of strenuous outside athletic Bports. It will give them and their families a new home in this new land, and, while commenced on an unpretentious scale, doubtless develop Into a large settlement, peopled by a hardy class of self-reliant, adventurous men who know the ways to the summits of untrod peaks as the average man knows the highways and byways of his native city. It will add to the picturesqueness of the surroundings, and furnish a pleasing and interesting sight tow the great brotherhood of nomads who are continually passing through the mountains on Canada's pioneer transcontinental road. It will be a development of great interest, this growth of new Switzerland in Canada. The site which has been chosen for the future Swiss villages of Canada lies in this province on the north side of the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and the first village will be situated at the first western milestone adjoining the quaint Canadian village of Golden which embraces within its borders the point of union of the Kicking Horse and the Columbia Rivers. Here the latter, brown, slow and solemn, finds its pulses quickened, the volume of its flow increased and a change of due given to the color of its waters by the tempestuous entrance of the glacial flood of the Kicking Horse as it speeds on its way from the Great Divide of the Rockies. On every side of the site mountains of varying contour rise above the small plateaus. To the east are the steep, sun-kissed, bald peaks of the Rocky Mountain range, to the west and to the south are seen the more gradual and well- wooded slopes of the Selklrks, which rise in undulating benches to majestic heights, while coursing across it in three different directions are the waters of the two rivers. Within close range of the western readies of the Selklrks on the north bank of the Columbia River lies, sloping to the south, the old farmstead on which the romance-pictured Swiss cottages are to be erected. Along Its eastern side foams Hospital Creek, while through the centre trickles a small stream fed by limpid surlngs from the foothills. The wooded mountains to tlie soutli are favorite haunts of deer and bear. The Columbia River teems with fish Which are good for eating; the high rocky peaks to the north, which for nearly ever ymonth In the year are snow-capped, are famous as the home of the mountain goat. A movement is on foot to try the introduction of chamois into the mountainous sportsman's appetite. In the nearby mountain fastnesses in every direction there are splendid chances for easy hunting during the proper seaso, and for snowshoeing, ski-ing, and tobogganing, while skating and curling are already popular pastimes at Golden during the months of snow. Further afield are high virgin peaks yet uncllmbed and unnamed which offer great temptation to the experienced Alpinist. The new village is to be called "Edelweiss"—the bridal flower of the Swiss—and its location is on a plateau which rises two hundred feet from the bottom lands, and within unobstructed view of the passing trains. The spot is a most picturesque one. The plateau and the hillsides are dotted with clumps of poplar, whose light greenish leaves pleasingly contrast with the darker shades of fir and spruce, these combining to form an unusually pretty picture. The cottages— half a dozen to start with—will naturally be distinctively Swiss in architectural design, construction and surroundings; in fact, they will breathe the Swiss atmosphere. In the rich alluvial soil the dwellers will find opportunities galore for gardening in the small individual holdings which are attached to the cottages, and these will contribute materially towards the upkeep of the households, and doubtless will eventually expand into sources of supply for the profitable markets. The Columbia River, which flows from Lake Windermere and other mother lakes about 100 miles soutli of Golden, is one of the most tortuous waterways in the world.

Golden called Boat Encampment, where it makes what is called the Big Bend, and turns south again, crissing under the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks at Revelstoke, the railway having cut across the mountain range to meet it. From here it flows on into the Arrow Lakes and into United States territory, finally emptying into the Pacific Ocean in Oregon, nearly 2,000 miles distant by its meanderings from its source. Between Golden and Winde- mere there are splendid roads, now much used by motors, and these will be extended to Banff and Calgary on the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and to Fort Steele and Crow's Nest Pass branch of the railway on the south. They will be the great automobile highways for motorists through a region that may well be termed the playground of the world, not the least interesting feature of which will be the new "Edelweiss" and its people. o WF.ALTH OF NATIONS Hank Roll of Four Principal Powers Reaches tlie Sum of 9800,028,000,000 The wealth of the four principal nations stood as follows at the latest dates: United States, 1910, $125,- 000,000,000; Great Britain, 1908, $88,725,000,000; France, 11100, (83,000,000,000; Germany, 1909, $88,500,000,000; grand total, $360,- 000,226,000,000; adding Great Britain's known foreign investments, It is 1860,925,000,000, Annual accretion at present in the four countries is approximately as follows: United States, 8V6 per cent; Great Britain, 2% per cent; France, 2 per cent; Germany, 2 per cent. These rates of interest, when compounded, double capital in 20V4, 28 and 35 years respectively; so that, should progress continue at the same rate until 1950, the wealth of the United States would exceed that of all the others combined. That is not likely. Before that date our 3 % per cent rate will most likely fall to 3 per cent, perhaps even to 2% per cent, or the rates current in Europe. The community of interests, the exploitation of natural resources, the leveling tendencies of commerce and the adoption of a common medium of value (gold metal) render this consummation almost inevitable. So long as capital, barring wars, accidents, expenses and risks, can earn 3 % per cent, a 3 or 2% per cent long bond cannot be worth par. If capital, as shown by the rate of increase of national wealth in Europe, cannot earn more than 2 or: 2 Vz per cent, the position is reversed; a long bond at these rates would represent the highest class of security, and in continental markets would inevitably command par. Breat Britain's peculiar situation may offer some exception to the comparative growth of national wealth. Accnrding to computation, based largely upon the income tax, average returns upon £2,700,000,- 000 ($13,500,000,000) of Britisii capital invested outside the Kingdom is £140,000,000,. or nearly 5.2 per cent; and as this sum is largely invested over and over again in col onies and foreign countries, it does not appear in summation of national wealth. Great Britan is annually earning not merely 2 M, per cent, but something between that rate and 5.2 per cent, possibly as much or more than the United States; only it makes no showing in the computed account of stock. Considerations of like character must also find room in meausuring growth of wealth in France and Germany. Both, especially the former, embrace profitable colonial possessions in which vast sums of home capital are being continually invested and reinvested; and both also hold large investments in foreign countries, only a portion of the usufruct adding to the stock ot wealth at home.

Tuesday, May 2, 1911 OPENING IP COUNTRY The announcement that the provincial government road superintendent, It. O. Jennings, intends to have a trail open from the Skeena River at Kitinangar to Stewart before the present season has closed, will be welcome news to :ili who are interested in northern British Columbia, it is to be hoped that tlie superintendent will not be frustrated in his designs but that ho may have the way open by the tinio desired. The intention of the government this season is to have main trails put through tho territory between the Skeena, the Naas and the country nortli of it, so that the pioneers of this new land may exploit the territory. This is exactly what is required. The future is assured but what residents here require is the expedition of the work. It is the shortening of the time when the country will be productive and yielding its share in the trade and commerce of the north, that is of importance. The report of the superintendent is that tiie country is a rich one. Settlement is beginning in that country this year. The government is going to assist in the opening of trails and in the providing of the means for experimenting in fruit growing. The .government is alive to the needs of the country and is showing a disposition to give it an early start in the way of opening up settlement. CHURCH UNION The meeting of the Methodist district meeting here this week, with the discussion this evening of the question of union among the Methodists, tlie Presbyterians and the Congregationalists in Canada, introduces a subject that is of pressing importance to church people In a place like this. The question of union in an embryo city like Prince Rupert, must appeal very strongly to members arid supporters of the different churches. We have the spectacle here of four, five or six church congregations struggling to perpetuate the several branches of the Christian Church which represent the different schools of theological thought of several centuries ago. The position does seem Illogical to the mind trained in a secular way. While the various churches recognize that here is a duty put upon them to bear a part in the evangelizing of the world they continue to maintain separate congregations in Christian centres, thus expending large sums that would not be required under a united system. In a place like Prince Rupert there is surely small reason for a continuation of the divided churches. The laity of the different branches are little concerned over ihe smaller differences which may exist in a theological sense. In actual practice they see alike. The burden of erecting one or two cnurches and maintaining them properly would he- much more easily borne than is the case where four, live or six churches arc maintained. A new city's needs are much more easily filled in u church way hy Et union. Church workers in such places may well be expected to favor the drawing together. ALDERMAN WANTED A number of citizens are circulating a petition to ask W. J. Alder to accept nomination as alderman for Ward 2 at the election to be held next week. If iMr. Alder will accept the duties It is more than probab'e that he will be elected by acclamation as there is said to be very general favor expressed that he should accept. Mr. Alder has large interests her.'. He has lived in Prince Rupert ever since it started almost and should know Its needs. Above all he 's looked upon as an eminently safe man to represent the people which Is a strong point in his favor. It Is to be hoped there will be no election required now with its disturbing tendencies. If Mr. Alder will accept office he should be returned by acclamation. THE ORIENTAL RACES Church Official Drawing Lessons from Experience Believes Hope in Evangelizing Yellow Races Rev. T. Egerton Shore, general secretary of the Methodist Missionary Society, speaking in Edmonton on the problem before the mission aries now at work in China and Japan, expressed the opinion that the destiny of the' world's civilization lies in the hands of the four nations in possession of tlie territory hounding the Pacific Ocean—Great Britain, the United States, China and Japan. "Western nations can no longer teach Japan anything about modern methods of commerce or warfare," lie said. "Chia is in Hie midst of a great awakening and is rapidly approaching the point when she will demand the same treatment for her citizens in American and Canadian ports as is accorded people from European nations. It is impossible to keep Hie Orientals out of America in spite of tho laws restricting immigration of this class. The races on tlie eastern and the western shores of tlie Pacific are bound to mingle with one another, and either those on a Higher moral and spiritual plane will be dram down to the level of the other nations or those who are now without Christianity will be lifted up, "If the latter condition is to bo be brought about the Christian nations must assume an aggressive attitude. They must furnish the means and the men to carry the elevating influences of the Gospel into China and Japan. This only will prevent the flooding of America with an eastern element that will drag the morals of western people down to the standard of those of the lowest classes in Oriental countries today." Mr. Shore spoke at length upon the work that is being done by the missionaries in West China, where the Methodist church has been given control of a territory with a population of 14,000,000. A university under the joint control of all the Protestant denominations at work in West China is now being established in one of the principal cities. Mr. Shore is touring the west in the interests of missionary work in the Methodist church. One year ago he returned to Canada after a thirteen months' trip through foreign mission fields, during which time he devoted particular attention to the work in China and Japan. ****** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * •*• 9 * t News of the Province J * i {. .;• * * .*« * * * *** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * SELECT CANDIDATE NEW WESTMINSTER—At the district Liberal convention held in New Westminster, Reeve J.

The new type of cruiser-battleship, too, had developed, until it now Included the Lion and Princess Royal, vessels of 26,350 tons displacement, each having a length of 660 feet between perpendiculars, and a speed of 2S knots. The same tendency was strongly marked in other navies. In the United States, for example, the displacement of battleships hud been more than doubled within the last ten years, the speed had been' Increased by three knots, and the weight of metal thrown per broadside—taking the latest available Information—had been increased practically 225 per cent. In the German navy the displacement of the battleship had been about doubled within the period under review, and the weight of metal discharged per broadside had increased by about 260 per cent. Professor Welch went Into detail on the question of protection and equipment, and remarked that the contention that large dimensions exposed a greater target at attack must now be expanded to Include the additional menace of missiles from dirigbles and aeroplanes. Assuming the attack to be delivered from a height of one mile, a hollow bomb carrying 100 pounds of explosive would take about 20 seconds to reach the water level, and would then have a striking velocity ap proaching 550 feet per second. The difficulties associated with correctly judging speeds of battleships from the height named, and making proper allowance for cross wind currents, etc., continued to render a hit very uncertain if a single missile only was employed. It was stated, however, that arrangements were being made tor dropping a number of such missiles from a single dirigible, irt which case that form ot attack would beconio a serious menace. It seemed reasonable to suppose that the best protection against attack from aerial craft would be found in counter-attack by the same type of airship, associated with guii3 of the attacked vessel specially arranged for high angle fire. Taht defence would be analogous to that adopted against torpedo boats and torpedo boat destroyers. With those considerations in view, the menace from the air might be expected to have no greater effect on limitation of size of ships than that, resulting from the introduction of the torpedo. In tbe course of the discussion on the paper, Professor Biles, Clasgow University, thought that there was much greater value in the large ship than in the small ship. o We trust the movement for honest weights and measures will not result in increasing the size of a peck of trouble. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *** * * * I Remember V T * | That we j Import j !

Although it Is by months that the city's history can be traced, there is a volume of shipping in connection with the port that would do credit to a city of many times its size| It has become the great entreport for the whole of northern Britisii Columbia. The opening of the spring here has been followed by an unprecedented rush Into the various parts of the province within reach of this port. Transportation companies which are always the first to come In touch with the development of trade and who are able to judge Hid needs to a very large extent, have to navigation has been attended this year with far more interest than ever before. With warehouses stacked with freight, the seven steamers on that run have pulled out, each carrying its full limit of freight and passengers for points along the Skeena. The steamers will be taxed to their utmost this summer to cope with the demands which will be made upon them. Merchants from up river points, knowing the demands that are to be put upon them, have come down to Prince Rupert in crowds and are personally superintending the despatch of goods to their headquarters. The past two weeks have been days of unrest for the wholesalers o( this city. With merchants up river clamoring for goods and with the river steamers loaded to capacity, KOSMOS LINES PROFIT According to the report of the directors of the Kosmos line, operating between Hamburg, the west coast and Puget Sound and owned by the Deutshce Dampfschiffahts- Gesellschaft, 1510 was a much more profitable year than 1909, the gross earnings amounting to 4,146,649 marks, or an increase of 700,000 marks over 1909 when they were 3,456,629 mark's. Copies of the report were received in Victoria Despite the gross gains, the writeoff, the report indicates, was sonm- what smaller than in 1909,'although In relation to the book value of the fleet, it was greater, two of the steamers formerly owned by the company having been disposed of. River steamer making u rail on the Skeena on the way from here to Hazelton, made arrangements for a very busy season, The coastwise shipping brings stamers of many lines here. The Grand Trunk Pacific is prepared to cope with a very large tourist and general travel and with a heavy freighting business. Its two floating palaces, the Prince Rupert and the Prince George, have each entered upo na regular weekly service between here and the ports of the south, so that that line can give a twice a week service by these vessels with Victoria, Vancouver and Seattle. But the Grand Trunk Pacific has found that it must provide additional accommodation on this route, particularly In the way of freight. The Henrietta has been put into that trade and as soon as the Prince John, which is to serve the shorter routes out of Prince Rupert, arrives the Prince Albert will be put on the freight and passenger trade with the south. The Canadian Pacific Railway, ever alive to the needs of trade, has likewise provided for a service far in excess of anything they have ever given to the north before. The Princess May, the Princess Beatrice and the Princess Royal will, after June 1, all be put on the run to here, the May and Royal continuing to Skagway while the Beatrice will go to Queen Charlotte Island points. In addition to this the Princess Enn will be on the route as a freight carrier only. The service thus provided will give the Canadian Pacific Railway a steamer into Prince Rupert about every third or fourth day each way. The Alaska Steamship Company and other United States lines are also prepared for a very full service north this year, and as the most of these vessels call here both ways. Union Steamship Company and the Northern Company also have spleu- did service to this port from the south. The Camosun, the reliable steamer of the urst named company, wnich has for so many years been arriving so regularly that one can almost set his watch by it, is in shape for handling a large share of business. It will be seen by the coastwise shipping that Prince Rupert will thi3 summer have practically a daily steamship service with the southern ports which will be a great advantage to shippers. The opening of the Skeena River) they have found themselves helpless to satisfy tne demands. Being on the ground they have had advantages over outside shippers, however, and have been able to get partial shipments made. The situation indicates that similar conditions are to prevail all i summer and there is to be a continued rush up the river all season. The railway line will relieve the situation, it is expected, in a few days, as soon as the snow is melted from the points where the company found it impossible to get the snow sheds erected last season before winter set in. Superintendent Meehan will, when the line is fully open, be able to provide a good service and in that way an immense saving in time will be effected in getting supplies up river. The steamers will then be relieveo of the necessity "if coming farther down than below the canyon, the freight being then transferred from the rails to the steamers. Ihe net profit realized admitted of the dividend being doubled when compared to 1909 amounting to 10 per cent, as opposed to 5 per cent a year ago. The report states that the traffic last year on all the Kosmos lines was, for the first time since the depression which set in in 1907, most satisfactory, especially the outward trade to Chili. Business with Peru was very slack at the beginning of the ye ar, but increased as the months passed. In the meantime contracts for railroad construction on a large scale in both Chili and Peru have been concluded, the report says, and the Kosmos line will to a very large extent participate in carrying the materials for these roads. The report adds that in tho traffic with Central America and tlie west, coast of North America, especially as regards the transportation of coffee from Central America to Europe, the competition of railroads opened in recent years to ports on The Mount Royal, which wns lost in the Skeena Canyon n few years ago and which has been made the type of steamer for river navigation. the districts in question lias been somewhat less profitable. The favorable condition of the freight market, the report says, rendered it possible to charter some of the steamers to outsiders, the case of the German steamer Serak, which was chartered while in Tacoma harbor to carry wheat to the United Kingdom for Balfour, Guthrie e& Co., being cited as an example. Charters on the outside were taken, however, only when the steamers could be spared from their regular usages. The insurance reserve of the company shows a large increase which the report explains by the fact that no losses nor serious casualties were sustaine;d ltsa year. masts 1*1!. mm\ Mmmrnmmm New Twin Screw Steamer Prince George TRANS-PACIFIC SCHEDULE Very shortly the summer schedule of the Canadian Pacific Railway trans-Pacific liners will be inaugu rated and the steamships will not be allowed such long stays at Van couver as they have had during the winter months. The last of the ves sels to leave here on the old time table Was the Empress of Japan, which sailed last week, and the new schedule commences with the Empress of China, wnich is due to arrive from the Orient on Friday. The Empress of China will remain in Vancouver for twelve days, but the vessel which follows her will only be given ten days in which to prepare for the next outbound passage. During the winter the steamships remain at the Terminal City for nineteen days, as it is not a paying scheme to dispatch vessels so often as in the summer.

The line has been out or use since the brush fires of last summer and has seriously handicapped the mining industry of the Siocan country. Twenty-five thousand dollars was subscribed at the meeting and a sinking fund of $13,000 was also subscribed by .1. L. Trallack and as- soe-lates. The provincial government will guarantee a loan of $200,000 for three years without interest. The syndicate will at once exercise its option of purchase and a company will be formed to operate the line. It will be repaired and put in first- idass condition as far as McGuignn. It will be equipped with steel salf- duiiiplng ore cars and new motive power. Ore bins and car slips will be built and a car barge and powerful tug will be purchased for service on Kootenay Lake, thus connecting either with the Great Northern or Canadian Paeitlo Railways. A short time ago the Canadian Pacific Railway was offered the line and equipment for $200,000. The Great Northern now is selling the line alone to the Kaslo syndicate for $25,000. ASHESTOS OF CANADA Supplies Eighty-two Per Cent of World's Consumption Every Year Canada produces 82 per cent of the world's supply of asbestos. The companies operating asbestos quarries and factories in the Dominion are capitalized at. $24,290,000. In 1880 only 380 tons of asbestos were produced, valued at $24,700; whereas in 1909, the production amounted to 63,300 tons, valued at $2,300,000. In 1909, 3,000 men were employed in the asbestos industry, and received wages amounting to $1,350,- 000. These facts and much valuable technical information of practical value to the general public, are contained in a volume of 316 pages, just issued by the Mines Branch of the Depai'tment 9? Mines at Ottawa. This valuable addition to the series of monographs being issued under the direction of Dr. Haanel, was written by Fritz Clrkel, M, E., and treats the subject of asbestos from every viewpoint: histology, geology, peculiarities of Canadian occurrences, quarrying and milling, together with statistics, cost of extraction, its occurrence in foreign countries, and its practical application in the arts and manufactures. The work is fully interesting. To give an idea of the enormous reserves in some of the asbestos deposits, Mr. Cirkel mentions the case of one, the Black Lake quarries, Quebec, where there are some 45,000,- 000 tons of asbestos rock iu sight The author goes fully into the discussion of foreign asbestos occurrences, and considers Russia the only real rival as regards the extent of asbestos resources. But inasmuch as the Russians are heavily handicapped by the excessive cost of transportation—$35 to $40 per ton to London—serious competition is not feared in the leading markets of the world. bONG FLORAL GAIIDEN Canadian Pacific Rnilway Sending Out 100,01)0 Packages of Seeds Over 100,000 packages of flower seeds are being sent out this spring by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company's f'oral department to the agents, section men and other employees of the company. After nearly twenty years' existence, this department of the railway has colossal proportions, and as the thirty-six different varieties of flower seeds are brought from the four quarters of the globe, their purity and quality are the best procurable. The steady expansion of this department is owing to tlie love of cultur- ing flowers, and the keen desire to beautify their surroundings which lias been inculcated into the Canadian Pacific employees by this opportunity for indulging in them, and the result has been most gratifying. Prizes were given for the best flower gardens last year, and the competition was very close. This additional incentive will be continued this year, and prizes will also be given for the best photographs of gardens along the line of railway. The irrigation and forestry departments of the company in the west are taking warm interest in the work, and in addition to growing flowers, many western agents raise vegetables and have practically craeted miniature experimental farms of their own. The effective work of the Canadian Pacific Ruilway floral depar. ■ ment has had wide-reach ing bene ficlal effect and not only in encouraging a love of flowers amongst its army of employees, and in beautifying Its long lines of rails, which is highly appreciated by those who travel by the company's trains, but in showing the world that all corporations are not exclusively after the almighty dolfar always.

ROOM NO. 4, EXCHANGE BLOCK —*iw^—'■' " '■ ■* Tuesday, May 2, 1911 PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL ************************** | How to Cook Fish ! | and Care for Fish { ************************** Writing in the News-Advertiser, on the cooking of fish, Miss Kathleen Ferguson, principal of the Van couver School of Cookery, says of the preparing of fish: Fish Cooking This week I have to draw my readers' attention to one of the foods which they have at their very doors in the greatest abundance, and that is fish. We have quantity and quality and cheapness as well. How much we would be envied by man, at being able to get all the year round delicious salmon at a moderate price. We have also halibut in abundance, smelts, trout, skate, sole, sturgeon, oolachans, cod and herring. In London, England, salmon must be at present, very nearly $1 per pound; here we get the best for 20 cents; two pounds of halibut, which equals the English turbot, 25 cents; sturgeon, 20 cents, which in England may only be caught once in the year, and then the price is so high only the wealthy can afford even a little; trout, which are larger and more delicate than old country haddock, and oolachans and smelts, which equal almost whitebait in delicacy of flavor. We are indeed lucky in Vancouver, but like many other things in nature, what we have In abundance we undervalue. Many householders would do well, both from an economical and a health standpoint, to have one meal of fish each day, or a couple of fish dinners in the week, as there is no doubt we all eat too much flesh meat. I will give some general rules as to the cooking of fish and then some simple recipes. To boil fish you must remember that all salt fish is to be put into cold water and then the water is allowed to come to the .boil, and the fish must be boiled very slowly. Fresh fish is mostly put into warm water and then the water brought to the boll, With the exception of salmon, which must be put into boiling water to preserve the color. Halibut is better put Into cold water and the water brought to the boil. This method preserves the flavor. Always put some salt, vinegar and lemon juice into the water in which fish is to be boiled. This improves the flavor and keeps the fish firm. It is a very good plan to soak fresh fish in salt and water for one or two hours before boiling. All these little points improve the flavor of the fish so much if attended to To grill or broil fish it is well to rub it over for some hours with oil and vinegar or a little butter and salt before cooking it. This prevents it getting tough and dry in the cooking. To fry fish always have the dripping very hot before putting in the fish, and if the fish is brushed over with egg and brushed over with crumbs it is greatly improved. Fish baked and stuffed is one of the best ways of cooking it, as you lcse none of the good of the fish by this method. Shell fish, such as crabs and lobsters, must be put into boiling water, as these fish are always cooked alive and must be killed in the water instantly; put plenty of salt in the water. Oysters must never be overcooked —they at once become like butter; they must be blanched, that is, put. into cold water with lemon juice in it. the water just brought to a boil and then instantly taken up, but no further cooking must be given to them. To know if fish Is fresh, the eyes must be bright, the gills red, and, an unfailing test, the flesh firm; if the finger, when pressed ou the fish, leaves a mark, the fish is not fresh. Never eat fish not perfectly fresh; it is a most dangerous food. Mackerel, after 24 hours are not fit for food; in fact, careful people only eat them a few hours after they have been caught. Never buy shellfish unless you see il alive. If not sure about a lobster punch the eyes with the finger; if alive the claws will move. If in any doubt, reject the fish. Salt fish is not at all fully appreciated. If very dry steep it for some hours in water before using It and cook it in milk and water with a little butter in it. Stewing it very slowly it is delicious. Ling, dried haddock or mackerel cooked in this way and mixed with potatoes and mint sauce made from the liquid it was cooked in makes a delicious pie. Put it into the oven with a few bits of butter on top and brown well. Many people do not know that the most perfect way to boil salmon is to boil it in thick rings, not whole, as in this way the boiling water cooks the curd and keeps it In the fish. Salmon is crimped for the reason, that is, cut half way through and where appearance has to be thought of, it is a good plan, but where the salmon is to be put on the table it will taste far better if sliced. Salmon Cutlets Get a thick cut of calmon, rub it over with oil and vinigar an hour or two before using it. Heat the griller and lay the salmon on it and grill for ten or fifteen minutes, turning oce from one side to the other side. Serve with ay sauce liked. Serve also slices of cucumbers and lemon. Halibut cutlet is cooked in the very same way. These cutlets may be cut hinner, brushed over on both sides with egg, tossed in crumbs and fried in hot fat. Cod Cutlets (Fresh.) Done In this manner are very specially good, above all if plenty of pepper, salt, dried herbs and chopped ham is mixed with the bread crumbs. Tomato Sauce Put 4 tablespoonfuls of tinned tomato or a couple of fresh tomatoes sliced into a pan, add one ounce of butter and a very little chopped onion, If liked. Cook all slowly for 15 minutes, rub through a strainer, add one tablespoonful of corbn starch blended and one-quarter pint of cold water. Boil all up, season ■with pepper and salt, serve hot or cold. If iced, this sauce is very good with hot fish. Fish Cakes Take the remains of any cooked fish, hot or cold. Chop it as fine as possible, add to it an equal quantity of mashed potato, a little pepper and salt, and some beaten egg to make all into a paste. Roll into balls. Having floured the hands, flatten into cakes, egg and crumb and fry in hot fat. These are delicious for breakfast. Fry In clean hot fat and keep the cakes a golden brown color. Haked Tront Clean the truo.t removing all under the gills and from the underneath scale. Wash and dry well, remove eyes, cut off fins and tail. Make a mixture of bread crumbs, chopped parsley, a teaspoonful of dried herbs, pepper, salt, and wet all with melted butter or dripping, or better still, a little egg if you have any left over. Put the stuffing into the body of the trout, sew up and place in a hot oven for about 15 or 20 minutes, or longer according to size, basting with hot dripping as meat is basted. Serve with drawn butter put in a saucepan, brought to the boil and strained, and served very hot in a small jug. Haddock, mackerel or any round fish can be baked in this manner. Smelts and Oolachans Trim all the fins with a pair of scissors, wipe carefully in a clean cloth and season with salt and pepper, roll lightly in flour and then dip them in beaten up eggs and roll In freshly made white crumbs. Roll them with the hand on a table or slab to make the bread crumbs appear quite smooth. Put them In clean boiling fat, fry five or six minutes. When perfectly crisp and a pretty golden brown color, take up and drain and dish on a dish-paper and garnish with very crisply fried parsley, little thin slices of freshly- cut lemon and cucumbers. Serve with anchovy, cucumber or tartare sauce. Whiting Dressed in the same manner, can be used for dinner or luncheon, and served for breakfast without sauce. Cucumber Sauce Peel one large cucumber and take out the seeds. Put tbe cucumber, sliced, in a pan with one ounce of butter; let them stem slowly till tender, add a few drops of lemon juice, one-quarter pint of thick white sauce and a very little green coloring. Season with salt and pepper, rub through a strainer or sieve or straining cloth, heat up if wanted hot, lay on ice if wanted cold. Sturgeon In England this fish is considered a royal dish and is very scarce. It is easy to obtain here. To cook it to perfection cut It In slices, lay it in a baking pan, pour some sherrry over It and cover it with little lumps of butter. Bake It for 15 or 20 minutes, serve hot and strain the sauce around It. Sole or any delicate flat fish ccoked in this way is delicious. If sherry is objected to use a , little vinegar, water and lemon juice. Lobster sauce or oyster sauce served hot with halibut or any white fish is excellent.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Tuesday, May 2, 1911 MADE HEROlt FIGHT Mounted Police Patrol Lost in North Had Trying Experience on March. Diary of Party Now Made I'lililic Tells of Privations Endured by Them Some light em the fate of the mounted police patrol found frozen on the trail at roc! River, was tnrown by the discoverey of a diary of one of the party. An entry made January 17 i<\iei> "Carter is utterly bewildered ami does not know one river from another. My lasl hope gone. Reluctantly shnli have to return to Peel River. We have now ten pounds of flour and eight pounds of bacon and some dried fish for the djg=.'' Rev. C. E. Whittaker. ChurcJi of England missionary at Dawson, who read the funeral service ovei t'.ie bodies of the victims, writes to Bishbp Stringer at Dawson as follows: "Three days later (January 20) the food was exhausted. The men began killing the dogs and trying to feed the meal to the dogs that were left, but they would not eat it, so the men ate the dogflesh and fed the dry fish to the dogs. They were hindered by open water, by ' weather sixty degrees below zero and by fierce winds. They made their way back slowly, their old trail being drifted full.' About February 1, when the party was on Long Portage, above Co- lins Place, an "entry in the diary reads: "We have travelled about 200 miles on dog meat and tea and have about 100 miles yet, but expect we shall be able to make it, but shall have onl ythree or four dogs left. We have killed eight dogs and have eaten most of the meat." Three or four days later, says Mr. Whittaker, the diary ceases. The party was then a few miles from Trail Creek, about thirty-four miles above Colins' Place. It Is probable that they survived five to seven days after that, and perhaps more, judging from evidence found and tracks about the camps. Some of them were badly footsore and it is thought that this will account in some measure for tneir in ability to get through. All the members were so changed as hardly to be known. They were just famished and their skin had peeled off. Some money was raised at Fort MacPherson and sent to Bishop Stringer with which to secure a tablet to be erected at the MacPherson church in honor of the party. It is believed that the men were poisoned by eating dogs' livers, and that it was this that made it impossible for them to travel fast. Their feet, also, were very sore. All died natural deaths, save possibly Taylor, whoe head was missing. He had his rifle in his hand, and it was apparently a case of suicide. Possibly lie shot himself in delirium after awakening from sleep nad seeing Kinney dead beside him. Every praise is accorded the whole party here for their most determined fight. Inspector Fitzgerald and Constable Carter, who made the last attempt to finish t)ie dash to Fort MacPherson, 35 miles, covered only ten. They had left all their robes and supplies with Kinney and Taylor, taking only two little blankets with which to face the Arctic nights in their last struggle. The Dawson News editorially praises the party for having achieved one of the greatest feats in the history of Canada and the British Empire's Arctic zone, declaring it worthy of a notable monument or :e table! drawing tlie atentlon of future generations to Ihe great fortitude shown In a remarkable struggle against awful odds. o EMPIRE DAI CONCERT Fancy Groceries Family Groceries Fresh Groceries Green Vegetables Fresh Fruits Special Attention Given to Family Trade.

RACE FROM AEROPLANES Six aeroplanes flew over the course of the boat race on Saturday, and one airman followed the race almost from start to finish, sweeping to and fro across the river to keep level with the crews, says the London Daily Mail. The machines were welcomed with great enthusiasm by the crowds. The race, as seen from above for the first time, is described below. All the machines returned safely to the starting p'aces. The airmen were Mr. Graham Gil- mour, who came from Brooklands in a Bristol biplane with the Gnome engines, and five others, who came from the Hendon aerodrome—Mr. Graham White (military Farman machine), M. Hubert (ordinary Far- man), and Mr. Gustave Hamel, Mr. Gresweli and M. Prier, who used Blerlot machines. Mr. Graham- White took Mr. C. Compton Pater- son up with him. He and his four companions descended at Ranelagii, all eventually flying back safely to Hendon, Mr. Hamel making an aerial excursion to Brooklands for tea. Mr, Graham Gilmour gives the following account of his flight and of how he saw the race. "I left Brooklands at 1:55 p. m in a military type Bristol biplane and followed the river until I reached Putney bridge. I arrived at the starting point of the race just before the pistol was fired. The spectacle below me was most interesting. I could see the crews quite distinctly. From my aerial point of view they had rather the appearance of files skimming over a pond in summer. I could distinguish perfectly well between the two crews by the color of their oars, and it was quite apparent to me from above that Oxford was the better crew of the two. "Indeed, criticizing the race from an aerial standpoint—the first time that such a view has been obtained —I could see that Cambridge had a hopeless task, because every time Oxford was pressed the crew responded at once, and the boat forged ahead again. "I was just above the crews in the air, and quite near to them more than once, and was very interested to see whether they would look up it me at all. I could watch them quite distinctly, and I kept a close eye upon them, but not one man, In either boat, ever look his eyes off his work. "1 was greatly Impressed by the ■rowd of people lining Ihe banks In dense mnsses. When I shout off my engines to come down nearer the river I could hear a great roar of voices come up to me. The excitement of the people seemed to be intense, and I could see them waving handkerchiefs and flags, and everybody's arms seemed to be moving as the boats passed. "After flying over the winning post I landed in a little field, having run out of petrol. A motorist very kindly gave me four gallons from nts supply and ' again filled up my tank. "Of course, I missed my mechan- cs, and there appeared to be some difficulty about starting, but I got a man from the crowd to help me. I gave him a lesson in starting the engine. Other people held the machine and I started quite successfully. I covered the distance, about eighteen miles, to Brooklands, with a fine wind behind me, In about twenty minutes. Before I left the tennis ground Graham-Wnite flew over me. Hamel also passed in a Bleriot, and Hubert also flew by. V\e afterward^ met at Brookfields and discussed our experiences."' o AGAIN NEGRO SETTLERS Edmonton Takes Action to Try to Stop Incoming of Colored Population The immigration of negroes to western Canada from the United States was the subject of a resolution passed at a special meeting of the board of trade of Edmonton, in which the sentiment was almost unanimous in opposition to allowing them to come into the country under any consideration. The resolution received the votes of all but one or two members of the board present, and it will be sent to all the organizations in the city and the boards of trade throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan for endorsement. A copy of the resolution will also be sent to the Dominion government, in the hope that it will move those in authority to take immediate steps to stop the influx of the colored people from across the border. The resolution points out the fact that the immigration of colored people is keeping white settlers of a desirable class from entering the country, and it calls for some action on the part of the government that will effectively stop the movement of negroes into western-Canada. TO PROLONG LIFE Happy Marriage, Daily Bath, Ccr tain Foods, Rest, Fresh Air To prevent old age coming on too soon, the first condition necessary is the possession of healthy glands (chief among them being the throid, the adrenals, the pancreas and the liver), and this depends upon heredity, says the British Medical Journal. Marriage is an invaluable aid in the struggle against old age. If married life is one of the best means of resisting the approach of old age, on the other hand, it is positively certain that unhappy marriages are the surest means of hastening its oncoming. To avoid premature old age and early death we have to follow these rules: Wear loose collars, because a tight collar prevents obstacles to the free circulation of the blood through the thyroid. Do not take too much meat, because abundance of meat alters the di.etless glands. Take large quantities of milk, this being the extract of various glands, and especially that of the thyroid. Be as much as possible in the open air, and especially in the sunshine, and take plenty of exercise, taking care to breahe deeply and regularly. Take a bath daily, and in addition, once a week or every two weeks take a Turkish or vapor bath. Wear porous ■ clothing, light hat, and low shoes. Go early to bed and rise early. Sleep in a dark, very quiet room, and with a window open; and do not sleep less than six or more than seven and a ha'f hours. Have one complete daq's rest in each week, without even reading or writing. Avoid mental disturbances or worries. Municipal Notice NOMINATION NOTICE.
