CLEARING RESERVE
Question of Removing Shacks is Again
Brought Before the City
Council
The Rat Menace Is Also Before tlie
lioai-d for Consideration
The question of clearing the
Grand Trunk Pacific reserve has
again come before the council. It
first arise at the meeting of the
council on Wednesday evening when
a report was received from the
health officer going into the rat
question, came up. This report
went on to state that the Prince Rupert rat was really a fine type of
the family and in a fine condition of
health apparently. There was the
danger that he might become affected with disease from the landing of less desirable rodents. The
good work done by the rats as scavengers on the Grand Trunk Pacific
reserve was also referred to by the

health officer, who acknowledged
that a debt was due to his ratship
on this score. In conclusion it was
recommended that the best methods
of grappling with the question was
by the appointment of an official rat
catcher or by the use of the virus
used formerly.
On this report, Aid. Clayton
moved, seconded by Aid. Morrissey,
to have the Grand Trunk Pacific
reserve cleared at once. At the
present time there was no system of
collecting garbage. These rats fed
on the garbage. If the reserve was
cleared there would be much done
to settle this rat question, as the reserve was a breeding place for these
rats.
Aid. Newton thought Aid. Clayton did not really deal with the rat
question. He proposed that the
health officer's report be referred to
the health committee.
The rat report was referred to the
health committee.
It was decided that Aid. Clayton's
motion was not quite in order here,
to which the alderman agreed. It
was decided to take it up later.
When it was again brought up,
Aid. Kerr wanted to know if it was
the intention of the mover and seconder to clear all the reserves of
the Grand Trunk Pacific.
Aid. Kirkpatrick wanted to know
what authority the city had. Some
of these buildings might be rented
from the Grand Trunk Pacific.
Aid. Clayton argued that the action was proposed on tbe ground of
public health.
It was pointed out that the city
rented its hall, which was on the
reserve. The effect of the motion
might be to drive the city out of
its hall.
Aid. Morrissey contended that the
shack section was a menace to
health. Many of these strikers who
affected the situation now, lived
there. Some of these people who
lived in these shacks paid no rent,
but had property elsewhere which
they  rented.
His Worship said it appeared to
him that these places would have
to be dealt with on their merits.
One place might be clean while the
one next to it might be a menace
"to health. The council could only
deal with those that were unsanitary.
Aid. Morrissey called attention to
the assurance given by the Grand
Trunk Pacific that the reserve was
to be cleared in six months. Business men had to get off the reserve
and why should these others not.
Aid. Clayton, after discussion,
amended his motion, making it read
as a request to the Grand Trunk
Pacific that steps be taken to clear
the reserve of shacks.
The motion carried.
POWER, GAS AND STREET RAILWAY FOR CITY
Tsimpsean Company Proposes to Make Agreement With Prince Rupert and in Doing so to Abandon Rights Claimed
Under Special Charter Given by Legislature—R. Brutinel Representing Organization Puts
His Proposition Before Citizens for Consideration—Will Not Interfere
With the Municipality's Desire to Look After i
Distribution of Light.
The city of Prince Rupert has
now a proposition placed before it
from R. Brutinel, of the Tsimpsean
Light and Power Company. In effect the offer is made by him to set
aside the charter obtained by the
company from the legislature In
1907 in so far as the city of Prince
Rupert is concerned, and in lieu of
it substitute an agreement to be entered into between the city and the
company. The charter of the company has been the subject of considerable criticism in this city. If
a workllng basis can be agreed upon
these objections may be overcome
and something more acceptable to
the city obtained. While Mr. Brutinel does not state so in as many
words, there is little doubt that,
failing a settlement with the city
the company will rely upon its charter and go back to it as a means by
which it may carry on operations
here.
On another page are published
the tentative agreements which Mr.
Brutinel has prepared. These agreements have been submitted to the
council and form a basis upon which
negotiations will be conducted. The
head of the Tsimpsean company
has asked the council to go fully
into these agreements and study the
different aspects of the proposition
so that when the time comes for
action the subject may be discussed
in an intelligent way.
Tlie Tsimpsean company, apparently realizes that this city is to become a great industrial centre and
desires to be in a position to act
quickly in the matter of meeting the
demands to be put upon it in the
supplying of power, etc.
Mr. Brutinel, who ranks high as
an electrical engineer, has prepared
the draft agreements himself. He
prefers to work independent of lawyers to a large extent, and so draft
ed the agreements that are put before the council and which appear
on another page.
Separate Agreements
He has divided the propositions
into three separate departments, the
gas supply, the electrical power supply and the tramway service.
Backed up by plenty of capital, the
Tsimpsean company is prepared to
bring each of these up to the fullest
requirements of the time. His plans
are far advanced and before he left
this morning for the south, Mr.
Brutinel had made all arrangements
for the necessary surveys in connection with the water propositions
held by the company and the route
for the transmission wire.
He will return to the city in a
short time and go fully into the
questions raised with the council,
when a settlement will be sought
and the company will then be in a
position to proceed with the actual
work deemed necessary. The first
work will be that of a gas plant,
followed by a power plant and in
turn the tramline service.
Mr. Brutinel was accompanied to
the city on this trip by Mr. Hay-
ward, the engineer in charge of the
Western Power Company, which is
developing the Stave Lake proposition near Vancouver. Mr. Hayward
has looked into the various schemes
with Mr. Brutinel and is well satisfied with  the prospects.
Addressed the Council
On Thursday evening Mr. Brutinel appeared before the council and
briefly outlined the objects he had
in view.
Mr. Brutinel, before the city coun
ell, explained that his company
would first instal a gas plant. About
1,200 people had agreed to take
gas. The proposition he would submit would be a simple one. The
company would ask to lay the pipes
along the streets and make connections. The city would have the
right to buy the undertaking under
the Municipal Clauses Act conditions after forty years. The Tsimpsean company would agree to waive
the special rights given by the act.
of Incorporation. The company
wanted to work in harmony with
the city.
In connection with the power department the company did not quarrel with the city handling its own
power. Power in large quantities
at a reasonable rate was a most valuable asset to a city. To develop
power by steam was out of the
question where expensive coal and
high labor was continued. All industries nowadays were seeking
electric power. His company was
ready to make a start to develop
power. If they reached Prince Rupert in accordance with an agreement entered into, they would be
willing to make an arrangement to
sell power to the city.
Valuable Asset
The company would ask the city
to buy power from them. This
would be a matter to decide whether
the council would purchase power
or develop it themselves. The company in this power proposition also
was ready to give the city the privilege to purchase the undertaking in
the city under the conditions of the
Municipal Clauses Act after forty
years.
Aid. Clayton asked if this purchase proposal applied only to the
works in the city and not to the
source  of supply.
Mr. Brutinel said it did not apply to the source of power. This
would be a long way out of the city.
He did not think the Municipal
Clauses Act gave the city the power
to hold such a proposition.
Street Railway
In the matter of street railways
Prince Rupert would very shortly
have a need. His company proposed
to begin by building a line from one
end to the other. He proposed to
offer a~very special agreement.    He
did not propose to have one of those
cast iron agreements. The company proposed to take care of the
roadway between the tracks and on
each side which would equal about
one-third of the road. It is proposed to share the profits with the
city on a sliding scale by giving
from 3 per cent to 10 per cent on
the gross earnings, according to the
amount of these earnings.
With respect to the propositions,
Mr. Brutinel said he would have
them ready for the council the next
day.
Time for Consideration
He desired the city to go very
fully into the proposed agreement.
He was not trying to take any advantage of the city and only wanted
careful consideration.
Aid. Morrissey wanted to know if
each of these propositions were separate, if the city could take the gas
proposition, for instance, and reject
the others.
Mr. Brutinel said they were all
independent.
Asked as to the time when the
propositions could be in working
order here, he said that the gas
could be delivered in about six
months after the agreement was
entered  into.
As to the power, that could be
working in about nine months from
date. The tramway service would
depend upon the population. He
should think that with 15,000 of a
population it would be necessary
As to rates, he quoted $1.50 for gas
for cooking and heating; $1.75 for
lighting; while if the city wanted
gas to supplement the electric lighting it would be put in at $1,25 a
thousand.
No better advertisement, he said,
could be had by a city than a prosperous company doing work in it.
Vancouver had profited by the success of the B. C. Electric Company
and  its subsidiary  organizations.

Work   Closed   Down   Awaiting   Supplies—Will Start up.with
Early Spring
Superintendent Rod McCrimmon,
of the Silver Cup Mine returned to
Hazelton with all the crew on April
1, closing down the property on account of a shortage of supplies. It
will probably be a month or six
weeks before work can be resumed.
Mr. McCrimmon confirmed statements that have been made that the
property is capable of turning out
ore of good grade in sufficient quantities to guarantee dividends for
many years, once given something
better tHian pack-mule transportation off the mountain.
He said: "Owing to a shortage
of supplies, we have been compelled
to close down for a short time. Since
I took charge in January operations
have been contined to the Duke
claim, where a tunnel was driven
112 feet, having more or less ore
all the way. This ore will average
from one to two feet in width and
over 100 feet of depth has been obtained at the face. I got into the
tunnels on the Silver Cup vein and
was pleasantly surprised at the
showing there. When the transportation question is worked out a little better the company will be in a
position to go ahead and make
money out of their ore."
Samples of ore from the Duke
claim sent to the office at Prince
Rupert yielded $136.21 a ton in
silver and lead.
Mr. McCrimmon is of the opinion
that further prospecting on the surface of the Silver Cup group Is very
likely to result in the discovery of
more veins.

HE FOUND NO COAL PROGRESSIVE FIRMS
Prominent Vancouver Investor Had Fruitless Trip to Lignite
Beds.
R. C. Campbell Johnstone in Search
of Mineral  Had Hard Trip
for No Purpose
R. C. Campbell Johnstone of
Vancouver, who is interested deeply
in coal propositions near the headwaters of the Skeena, northwest of
Kispiox, arrived in the city yesterday from Bella Coola, leaving again
this morning for Vancouver.
Mr. Johnstone has just come In
from a search for coal reported almost 45 miles from deep water, in
from Bella Coola. His trip involved
the covering of a distance of 17 ■">
miles, which was made under ex-
ceedlngly bad conditions. To add to
the vexations of the trip, the coal
reported was not to be found.
Instead of coal deposits there was
only lignite and the trip was consequently a fruitless one. Tlie location where the coal was supposed to
be in place was described by Mr.
Campbell Johnstone as exceedingly
inaccessible.
Within easy reach of Bella Coola,
he says there is every indication
that there are good copper and gold
propositions to be developed.
Speaking of the coal of the Skeena headwaters, however, Mr. Campbell Johnstone has no doubt. Last
session of the legislature an act was
passed incorporating the Skeena
and Naas Valley Railway. This line
it to be the means by which the
coal is to be brought to the coast.
It will tap the mines and proceed to
deep water by means of the Naas
Valley.
The coal, he says, Is anthracite,
the only coal of that quality on the
coast. In consequence there will be
a ready sale.    The line of railway is

Company and .1. II. Rogers for the
building of a sidewalk in front of
their new offices on Second avenue
had been referred back to them
with tlie information that such work
was only done as a work to be paid
for by those directly interested.
They had consented to do this and
the engineer recommended permission  being given.
The report was adopted,
A petition wns read asking for tbe

Tills was referred to the streets

The city engineer reported
against the raising of tlie grade of

would be a disadvantage to increase
the grade by this means from tlie
Grand Trunk Pacltlc yards and the
waterfront.
The report was adopted.

start will  be made.
It is not the intention of his company to ally with any other line.
Its object Is to open up the coal
properties and develop the district
through which  It runs.
Several of the city street contractors wrote the council on Wednesday evening with respect to the extension of time. The council in reply has stated that the matter Is
receiving consideration and that in
the meantime the contractors should
use all diligence to expedite the
work.
S. P. McMordie & Co. wrote, asking if it was the intention of the city
council to apply the penalty clause,
and asked an immediate answer.
J. R. Morgan wrote that he had
been delayed in consequence of a
change in grade, awaiting the building of a retaining wall and the
strike.
S. II. Watson & Co. wrote that
tbe firm had been delayed awaiting
the engineer's stakes being placed,
by extra grubbing, awaiting a culvert and by the strike.
His Worship thought the council
would have to go into the subject
fully  before  deciding.
Aid. Morrissey moved to inform
the contractors- that the question of
extension of time was only now receiving attention. When a decision
was reached it would be communicated to them. In tlie meantime the
contractors should be advised to
proceed with all due haste.

TIMBER  OF  NORTH
Interesting   Report   Made   by  Cruiser
Upon the Forest
Wealth.
Need of  Preservation of Wealth of
Interior Wooded Lands
Portion
An interesting and exceedingly
informative report has just been
made to Hon. Mr. Taylor, Provincial
Minister of Public Works and Railways, by that veteran prospector
and timber cruiser, Mr. D. D. McPhail, who has presented in concise
form the results of his personal observation and intimate knowledge of
the country comprising the valleys
of Stuart River and Lake, Thatcher
River, Trembleur Lake, Middle River, North Tacla Lake and Driftwood
River—in fact, of all that long navigable waterway stretching north
from a point on the line of the
Grand Trunk Pacific opposite the
mouth of the Stuart River to approximately fifteen miles up Driftwood River, a distance altogether of
about two hundred miles.
Throughout a portion of this distance, or between the mouth of
Stuart River and Trembleur Lake,
the land has been surveyed to the
extent of about two hundred thousand acres, with probably as much
more "blocked out" for future surveys. From Trembleur Lake north
to Driftwood River, and including
the lower valley of the latter stream
250,000 acres would be a conservative estimate of the arable land, so
that to say that there is 500,000
acres of desirable land suitable for
settlement adjacent to these waters
and lakes would, in Mr. McPhall's
opinion, be a reasonable estimate.
This land, he states, will compare
most favorably with that of other
sections of the same district con-
taning large areas, such as the Nechaco and the Bulkley Valley.
Rivers Navigable
Referring more particularly to
navigation, Mr. McPhail reports
that when this water stretch is
spoken of as navigable, it may be
said that a steamer was n early days
taken through to Tacla Lake—the
hull is now to be seen on Trem
bleur Lake—and very recently
steamers have gone through from
Fort George to the first of the canyons on the Stuart River. From the
viewpoint of commercial facility,
however, the adoption of this waterway as a transportation route is
said to be contingent upon works of
improvement being carried out at
various points. These, going north,
and their approximate cost would
be needed improvements.
On tlie Stuart River, first about
five miles above its mouth or junction with the Nechaco River at
Chinlac, there is a widening of the
river and rapids. The trouble here
is lack of water, and the remedy
prescribed, confining the channel,
which work would require the construction of two wing dams and a
removal of a number of boulders, at
a cost of approximately $10,000.
Again, above Chinlac, for about
twelve miles, swift water prevails,
requiring tlie removal of boulders in
places and the provision of one wing
dam about ten miles from the river
mouth, Which would cost about
$5,000. For the next thirty-eight
and a half miles the Stuart is a
slow-flowing, "even" river, a beautiful stream traversing a fine country, more especially to the east. At
fitty-flve and a half miles from the
mouth, there is a short canyon with
abundance of water, but requiring
the removal of boulders at a cost of
$2,000. This Is the last obstacle,
Stuart Lake being entered about
fifty-eight  miles from  Its mouth.
Tatcher River, fifteen and a half
miles in length, although smaller
than the Stuart, runs plenty of water for small steamers. Improvements are required to provide safe
navigation at two points. The difficulties are short rapids and would
be very simply eliminated by the removal of the boulders. The first of
these rapids occurs about two and a
half miles from Stuart Lake, and
the second ahout ten and a half
miles from tnat body of water, expenditures of $5,000 and $2,000 being necessitated.
Middle River, connecting Trembleur and Tacla Lakes, with a
length of approximately twenty
miles, Is an easy-flowing stream,
upon which no improvements are
requisite. Driftwood River is navigable for ahout foru miles, In which
distance no improvements are necessary beyond  the cutting out of a
log jamb about one and a half miles
from North Tacla Lake.
A Possible Waterway
It was thought last year by those
engaged on the project that steamboat communication could be maintained between Fort George and
Stuart Lake, and that experiments
proved a failure, should not be considered detrimental to the ultimate
use of this waterway as a most advantageous factor in settling the
lands adjacent to it. Mr. McPhail
does not think that the difference in
elevation between the mouths of the
Stuart and the Driftwood Rivers
will reach one hundred feet, and it
is his opinion, further that this
route could be made easily available
for five months in the year with a
nominal  expenditure.
There is at present a wagon road
constructed from -Milne's Landing
on the Nechaco River to within a
few miles of Stuart Lake, communication with Fort St. James, across
the Stuart River being secured by
Indian ferry. An extension of this
road northerly would undoubtedly
cross the Stuart River by a bridge
at the "Little Canyon," one mile
below the lake, the present ferry being a long one worked with oars and
poles. Thence the road would follow generally the route taken by the
old Omineca or Manson Creek trail.
In Mr. McPhail's opinion, owing to
its advantageous position along the
waterways just described, the adjacent lands will be rapidly settled.
There wolud, however, be required
some means of communication otherwise during the winter, and more
especially during the spring and late
autumn months. This, he thinks,
would best be provided by diverting
the road from the old Omineca trail
before reaching Tezzeron Lake, and
traversing generally south of that
lake and the Kuzkwa River, this
stream being crossed to the east of
Trembleur Lake. This road would
traverse a good country and give
access with short branches to the
lake and river settlements.
Lying to the north of such a line
of communication is the Nation
Lake and River country, in which,
according to Mr. McPhail, exploration will disclose the existence of excellent areas. An extension of the
road from Trembleur Lake, or from
some point further south as may be
found expedient, into this region
and eventually to the Peace River
is only a question of time.
Rouds Displace Trails
"It occurs in my vocation in this
Province," says Mr. McPhail, in
conclusion, "to travel considerably
over the trails in the first instance
and the wagon roads which are rapidly taking their place, and it Is a
source of satisfaction to me to be
in a position to testify to the care
apparent in the location in those
latter and the good work put in
upon them. The north country,
especially, is yet to be made. It is
a land of grand distances. Your
policy of providing reasonably good
communication throughout a comparatively unknown country will be
abundantly justified in the response
of homeseekers when shown the
way before the advancement of
what will be one of the Province's
greatest districts, and an everlasting source of satisfaction to those
who dictated it. I would, however,
bring to your consideration the fact
that wagon roads fall short of utility where communication thereby is
dependent upon the uncertain ferry.
Touching upon road building, the
advantages from the use of donkey
engines in construction work in
the heavily timbered districts of
Vancouver Island is most noticeable."

Newsy Lalonde, the greatest home
player in the lacrosse game, lias
signed a Vancouver contract along
with Don Phelan, the Cornwall
home fielder, who was the find of
the season In the N. L, U. in 1910,
and the pair have started for the
coast.
Following the example set by the
New Westminster club in strengthening up by securing outside talent
of repute, the officials of the Vancouver club have set about to build
up a strong team this season, and
they have already signed up the
majority of last season's team and
now have secured the signatures of
Lalonde and Phelan to 1911 contracts.
In addition to signing up Lalonde
and Phelan, Mr. Con Jones, president of the Vancouver Club, has
signed Harry Pickering, the big defence fielder; George Matheson, the
hardworking defence man, and Archie Adamson, the tricky inside
home player.
Job Printing of all kinds neatly
executed at the Journal Office.
Details connected with the coronation of King George and Queen
Mary are practically settled. The
actual crowning will be performed
by the Archbishop of Canterbury,
while the Archbishop of York will
preach the coronation sermon. In
every feature, the ceremony will at
least equal In brilliancy any previously held. King George, with his
consort, on entering the Abbey, will
proceed immediately to chairs of
state on the south side of the altar.
Presentation of the King to the people for recognition, a survival of the
ancient Teutonic usage of popular
election, will be performed by the
Archbishop of Canterbury. Then
His Majesty will proceed to the
other corners of the thaetre, receiving the acclamations of the congregation.
Next comes the Litany, sung by
two bishops, after which the Archbishop begins the communion service, followed by the sermon. Upon
its conclusion, the King, already
having made the declaration from
which has been eliminated the
clause anathematizing the Roman
Catholic belief, takes the oath
kneeling at the altar.
The follows the anointing and the
King sits in the chair of Edward I,
containing the Lia Fail or Stone of
Destiny, brought from Scone by that
monarch, which legend tells was
"Jacob's Pillow."
After the anointing, the King is
solemnly blessed. Investiture follows. The "Colobium Sidonis," a
surplice of fine white linen or silk,
is put on first, then comes the pall
of cloth of gold with a girdle of
the same material. The King's
heels are touched with the great
golden spurs, and he Is girt with
the sword, which he afterwards
offers upon the altar, whence it is
redeemed for the sum of 100 shillings— an assertion of the independence of the secular arm.
After the armill, or stole, has
been placed on the King's shoulders,
with prayer, His Majesty is invested
with the royal robe, and to him are
handed the orb, the sceptre with the
cross and the sceptre with the dove,
"the rod of equity with mercy."
The placing of the crown, received with cries of "God Save the
King" within the Abbey and sounding of trumpets and firing of guns
without, completes the coronation.

     0N THE BANKS OF THE SKEENA	
The Only Main Line Townsite in British Columbia in which the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company has Announced its Joint Ownership
Look at the Nap
Ellison, you will find, occupies
the strategic commercial point which
seems hound to command all the
trade of the Interior tributary to
Prince Rupert. It is where the steel
rails of the transcontinental railway from the Atlantic touch the salt
waters of the Pacific on the navigable waters of the Skeeno River.. As
a port it will be second only to
Prince Rupert in the northern part
of this province and is also second
to this city as the only other town-
site in which the Grand Trunk
Pacific Railway and the Government
are jointly Interested and in which
lots are now offered for sale.

Read Current History
Prince Itupert lot speculators do
not need to have pointed out to
them what magic lies in the announcement that the great railway
company and the government arc
partners in the Ellison townsite.
That should be enough to bring
them a-iuiining. But not everybody has the time to read the newspapers -s closely as your unrlc. In
the Manitoba Free Press of April
5th, for instance, there was a big
headline reading: "Hundred and
Seventy New Towns to be Bot'n in
Western Canada During the Coming
Year." Reading the list one finds
many are Grand Trunk Pacific
towns, but not one in British Columbia. No, Ellison and Prince Rupert
are the townsites in this province in Welch the railway is directly
interested at this time.
ELLISON—Where Atlantic Locomotives will toot salute to Pacific Steamers on the Skeena River—ELLISON
WHY ELLISON SHOULD GROW
ONE of the most popular of all
the official reports published
by the British Columbia
Columbia Government is the one
bearing upon its title page the caption: "New British Columbia,"
which has become generally known
as "Bulletin No. 22," that being the
official number of the report. It has
been widely distributed and you
will have little difficulty in finding
one. On one page of this popular
report you will read this official
declaration: "Upper Skeena will
become one of the garden spots of
British  Columbia."
ELLISON, from its advantageous
position, with the Skeena River
navigable for large steamers at Its
front and a great transcontinental
railway intersecting -it, should naturally become the metropolis of the
wonderful garden spot of British
Columbia referred to in the official
report.
ELLISON lots are ready sellers.
Why? Just study the map a minute
or two.
ELLISON is a townsite in which
the Government and the Grand
Trunk Pacific are active partners.
There can, therefore, be not even a
shadow of doubt as to its future success. You are invited to share in
this certain success by investing in
a few town lots while they are at
bottom prices. There are only a
few on sale anu unless you are
Johnny-on-the-spot on the day announced as the Opening Day of our
sale you may be disappointed. Better make your deposit as soon as
possible and we will get you in on
it at the prices fixed for our first
offering.
ELLISON should, within a short
time, have a regular train service,
as it Is but a little distance from
l^Ile 104, to which point It is expected that trains from Prince Rupert  will  be  running  this  summer.
ELLISON may not be the only
pebble on the Skeena River beach,
but it certainly is the only townsite
on that navigable water In which
the railway company have announced themselves interested. No
doubt next year there may be other
additions and sections put on the
market, but by that time prices will

have gone  up.     Now  you   have   a
chance to be in on the ground floor.
DOLLARS invested in good
ground, rapidly grow. Did you look
at that map?
WHERE the Grand Trunk Pacific
and the Government are Joint owners in a townsite the lots should be
regarded as a safe invest nent. Your
money invested in ELLISON, or in
Rogers addition or any section that
may be offered later, is safeguarded
by every legal method human foresight can conceive. Where one
might and properly should hesitate
before investing in townsites promoted by individuals or town-promoting companies, there can be no
hesitancy or misgiving as to town
lots in  which  the Government and
the Grand   Trunk   Pacific   Railway
are jointly interested.
ELLISON is different.. Do you
catch on? What better guarantee
can you possibly look for?
ELLISON lots should double and
treble and then go up some. It Is
believable that they will soar four
or five times above present prices.
You are a lucky chap today if you
own even one. If you should think
of selling it and want quick action,
list It with us. We feel confident
the demand for these lots will exceed the number wc have at present
to offer.
PRINCE RUPERT'S brief history
will be repeated in the sale of
ELLISON town  lots.
ELLISON should have the most
rapid growth of any new town in
British Columbia or anywhere else.
Lots in the sections we are now
offering for sale, as well as such
additions and sections that may be j
offered later, may be calculated to
bring investors similar returns to
those resulting from the first sale
of Prince Rupert town lots.
ELLISON, where the Grand Trunk
Pacific Transcontinental trains from
the Atlantic will first strike that
wonderful Skeena River.
ELLISON is probably the greatest
opportunity for Investing a few dol
lars on a reasonably certain chance
of winning big profits you are likely
to see this year. But don't forget
that the number of lots is limited
and you will have to hurry some if
you want to pick out one of the
choicest locations.
ELLISON needs at present merchants, hotel men, "the baker, the
butcher and the candlestick maker,"
more than 'nt speculators, but they
will com ■ la er all right, as they
did in Prince Rupert, and pay BIG
RENTS.

FRED PETERS COMING
The announcement that Fred Peters, K. C, of Victoria, is to take
up the practice of law here, indicates that the outside is still alive to
the possibilities of ibis city in every
business and profession. .Mr. Peters
has passed the stage of life when
he is to be stirred simply by a love
of a change. His coming can only
be actuated by the prospects which
Prince Rupert has in the immediate
future.
He will be welcomed by the legal
fraternity of the city no doubt, as
he is a solicitor of long practice and
high repute. He is known through
out the province and, in fact,
throughout Canada in connection
with his profession. His opinion, in
fact, on more or less knotty questions was sought last year, it was
generally understood, in connection
with the city's legal business.
A reference has been made to the
possibility that he might be "an
attorney general in embryo." Mr.
Peters has been attorney general in
fact in one of the provinces of this
country, Prince Edward Island. For
some time he was premier of that
province but found the call of the
west too strong and so came a number of years ago to the farthest west
nad proceeding to build up a practice in partnership with Sir Hibbert
Tupper.
He represented the Dominion
Government as counsel in the Ben-
ring Sea arbitration and has filled
many other important positions, so
that Prince Rupert is acquiring in
Mr. Peters a man who is an honor
to his profession. He was at one
time prominently mentioned as a
probable successor to Hon. James
Dunsmnir as Lieutenant Governor
of the province.
The presence of Mr. Peters, with
the wide and varied experience
which he brings to bear, will be to
the advantage of the whole legal
profession of the city.
railway policy those who should
have been friendly had maligned
him and endeavored to destroy
whatever character he had in his
adopted home. On a motion proposed by Mr. Leonard Tait and seconded by Mr. J. J. Bittancourt, the
name of Mr. Jardine was placed on
the membership roll.
FAVOR SINGLE TAN
NEW WESTMINSTER—In the
referendums the ratepayers decided
by a small majority that they did
not want a high school erected on
Tipperary. They voted down the
proposal to exempt the sites of
churches, colleges and schools from
taxation. The proposal to exempt
improvements from taxation was
carried   by a  large  majority.
DELAYED ACTION
City Council   Has   Not Acted  Upon
the Resignation of Aid.
Pattullo
MUCH   PAVING
STUDY AGREEMENTS
The Tsimpsean Power Company
has placed before the city council
three propositions with respect to
gas, power and street railways.
These have been presented in the
form of tentative agreements, which
the council will have to thresh out
with Mr. Brutinel and reject, revise
or confirm. The citizens, in any
event; will have to pass upon the
agreement reached.
The questions involved are important. The fullest consideration
should be given lo these so that the
best agreement possible may be
made for the city. It is a duty
which every citizen owes to the
place that he study these questions
to the fullest extent and be prepared
to give a ripe judgment when the
time comes to vote on the propositions. This is the people's business
and  should  be carefully studied.
By taking a rational view of the
situation, and giving the propositions careful study it will be possible, undoubtedly for Prince Rupert
to reach a good agreement with the
Tsimpsean company. The agreements should not be rushed into
without full consideration. There
should on the other band be no unnecessary delay. Tlie utilities concerned are essential to the life of
the city. They will likely be required before most of us realize.
The present is a time to study the
situation and so be prepared for a
ripe decision  when the hour arrives.
VICTORIA—What Victoria is doing in the way of assisting the good
roads movement is indicated by the
fact that the purchasing agent is
now calling for tenders for the construction of approximately 600,000
square yards of asphalt pavement—
no less than thirty-six miles of pavement. This work, in addition to
that already let—some 200,000
yards—calls for an expenditure of
nearly $2,000,000. The demand
for improved streets, constructed
under the local improvement
scheme, is so great that with all
the large amount of work projected
still another call for tenders will
probably soon  be made.
 o	
ENGINE IS HERE
City  Will  Not Take  It  Over  Until
Agreements Are Forth-
coining
The combined hose automobile
and chemical engine has reached the
city and is being subjected to a
test under Mr. Lee, representing the
supplying company. It has been
discovered that the agreements and
specifications have never been returned to the city after execution
here. Pending the arrival of these
the council will refuse to formally
accept the engine. Temporary
quarters will be found but it will
be without prejudice to the city
that this accommodation is afforded.

the meeting, Mr. John Jardine said
that simply because lie saw fit to
support     Hon.     Richard     McBride's
W. S. McDonell, the well-known
Telkwa hotel keeper, and son of R.
J. McDonell, of Hazelton, died at
the Hazelton Hospital Friday afternoon at four o'clock, after nearly a
month's illness, says the Omineca
Herald, of Hazelton. The cause of
his untimely demise was heart failure. He was first taken ill at Jiis
place of business in Telkwa, nearly
a month ago, with inflammatory
rheumatism and he was brought to
the local hospital for treatment.
Since his arrival here relatives and
friends have hovered between fear
and hope for his ultimate recovery
but a turn for the worse carried him
off.
The young man was born in Victoria and lacked four days of being
23 years old at the time he died.
Besides the sorrowing father, two
brothers, George and James, and a
sister, Mrs. Robert Burns, of Fort
George, are left to mourn his loss.
He was a member of Omineca Aerie,
F. O. E., and was secretary of the
Conservative Club at Telkwa.
"Billy" McDonell, as he was
known by a host of friends, came to
the interior from Port Essington
nearly a year ago wliere he had resided with his father for a number
of years. To give a start In life his
father purchased and gave to him
the New Telkwa Hotel at Telkwa
early last summer, which he was engaged in conducting up to the time
of his illness. As one of the thoroughly popular young men of the
district, and of a wide acquaintance
the news of his demise will be
learned with regret by one and all.
The body has been embalmed and
will be taken to the coast for burial
as soon as navigation opens.
The city council has not yet acted
upon Aid. Pattullo's resignation.
The letter of Aid. Pattullo came up
at last Wednesday's meeting for the
first time, but in view of the fact
that the election must be brought
within ten days after the acceptance
of the resignation, action was deferred.
Upon the reading of the letter of
Aid. Pattullo, His Worship said he
felt all would regret that Aid. Pattullo found it necessary to resign.
He supposed the only thing to be
done was to accept it. If deemed
wise it might be left over as the
act required the holding of the election within ten days from Its acceptance.
After some discussion it was decided to leave the matter of the acceptance of the motion over.
With respect to the forfeit to be
collected in case of a resignation,
about which Aid. Pattullo asked for
a decision, some discussion took
place, when it was interpreted by
the mayor that the infliction of a
forfeit was optional.
Aid. Newton felt that under those
circumstances the forfeit should not
be collected.
This was acquiesced in by the
other members of the council, but
action was delayed until the resignation is dealt, with.

SPORTS
KILLED BY FREIGHT CAR
George W. McMillan, one of the
best-known football players on the
Pacific Coast, was i u over and almost instantly killed by a freight
car in front of his grain warehouse
at Thirteenth and Irving streets in
Portland. McMillan's body was severed just above the hips. He was
US years old. In crossing the track
McMillan was forced to pass within
a few inches of the end car. At
this instant a locomotive in coupling
on to the cars, shoved them along
several feet. McMillan was knocked
down and ground under the car
trucks.
AUTOMATIC    GUNS    PROHIBITED
first
guns
use
By an order-in-council just
passed by-the provincial executive,
the future use of automatic guns by
British Columbia sportsmen has
been prohibited as from the
of September next. These
have only come into general
during the past few years and have
been particularly favored by duck
hunters, who with them have been
enabled to slaughter the ducks by
wholesale. The genera] opinion is
that their use is the reverse of
sportsmanlike and the action taken
by the government will meet with
the cordial approval of true sportsmen in all parts of the country.
By a second order-in-council a
closed season for sheep during the
ensuing two years has been prescribed in the districts of Yale,
Okanagan and Similkameen, and
another year of immunity has been
granted the wapiti in all parts of
the mainland as from September 1.
The wapiti of Vancouver Island already are under similar protection.
Rev. J. P. Westman of Nelson has
been appointed a field secretary for
the Methodist Sunday school and the
young people's societies, and will
have charge of the work in Alberta
and Saskatchewan. He will assume
his new duties in June. The growth
of the work demanded the appointment.

GOLD PRODUCTION
Canada   Produced   About   Nine
Cent More Last Year
Than in 1900
Per
While statistics of gold production in Canada last year are as yet
incomplete, a preliminary bulletin
shows a production of approximately $10,244,910, an increase of about
9 per cent over the 1909 production.
The production of the Yukon is valued at $4,550,000, the total exports
on which royalty was paid during
the calendar year, according to the
records of the Interior Department
being 275,472.51 ounces. The Yukon production in 1909 was $3,960,-
000, the exports being 239,766.35
ounces. The British Columbia production in 1909 was: Placer gold,
$477,000; bullion from free milling
ores, $329,655; smelter recoveries,
$4,367,924. In 1910 the placer production is estimated by the Provincial Mineralogist as $482,000. An
estimate of free milling bullion
shipments and smelter recoveries is
made of $4,850,000, or a total production for the province of $5,432,-
000. The Nova Scotia production
shows a falling off of about $20,000,
while Ontario showed a slight increase on account of the gold recovered in development work at Porcupine, of which a record has not yet
been received.
The production of gold in Ontario last year, $60,918, though small,
Is nearly double in value that of
1909. More than half the yield
came from the new camp of Porcupine, where active developments are
in progress, and where large stamp
mills are being erected at the Hol-
linger and Dome mines. A branch
of the Temiskaming and Northern
Ontario Railway—the Ontario Government line—is being built into
Porcupine from the main line at
Mileage 222, near Kelso. At Long
Lake, on the Sault branch of the
Canadian Pacific Railway, gold Is
being obtained by the Canadian Exploration Company from an arsenical ore. The old Mikado mine at
Shoal Lake, Lake of the Woods and
the Havilah, formerly the Ophir, in
the township of Galbraith have been
reopened. In Hastings County the
Cordova or Belmont mine, long Idle,
has recently changed hands, and it
is understood will soon go again
into  commission.
The following table    shows    the
value of gold production in Canada
for the past quarter of a century:

Why the Figures Fluctuated
The high production in 1899,
1900, 1901 and 1902 was due to
the extraordinary output from the
Klondike. The British Columbia
placers were also producing heavily.
In 1899 Ontario had its maximum
production, but as it only amounted
to slightly over $400,000, it did not
have much influence on the total.
The gold production of Nova Scotia
has declined somewhat, that of Ontario has almost ceased, though
Porcupine should prove a favorable
factor during the next few years.
That of BritiBh Columbia lode mines
has steadily increased, so that the
Pacific Coast province has now the
greatest production in its history.
The production of the Klondike is
again increasing.
THE  WORLD'S  PLATINUM
Production of the Urals Shows Signs

hausted. Almost all the platinum
produced in Russia is refined in
England, France and Germany.
During 1909 some progress was
made in the platinum bearing districts of Colombia, the exports of
this metal to the United States in
that year amounting to 2,392 ounces
in comparison with 1,092 ounces in
1908, according to the Bureau of
Statistics. A little platinum was
won In British Columbia; a production of 440 ounces was recorded
from New South Wales, and Sumatra and Borneo are believed to have
yielded about 500 ounces.
The actual production of crude
platinum in the Urals In 1909 Is
estimated at 190,087 Troy ounces.
This output was smaller than usual,
and It is probable that the reserves

Produced in  Province
That the sum distributed by the
Dominion Government in lead bounties during the fiscal year ending
on March 31 will be in the neighborhood of a quarter of a million
dollars, was a statement recently
made by Mr. G. O. Buchanan, lead
bounty supervisor. The amount of
lead produced In the Kootenay district upon which the bounty is paid,
will total approximately 17,000

ADVERTISING   OUR  APPLES
British     Columbia    Fruit    Attracts
Much Attention In Birmingham
Canadians who have visited Midlands recently have had an opportunity of seeing some oi the valuble
work performed by the Canadian
commercial agents resident in the
large cities. In New street, the
principal Birmingham business thoroughfare, in one of the principal
shops, the sign "British Columbia
Apples" attracted attention. These
apples were in excellent condition,
though part of the consignment of a
carload which was exhibited at the
Royal Horticultural Show in London over three months ago. The
point is, however, that owing to the
influence of the resident Canadian
commercial agent, Mr. Mackinnon,
they were advertised for what they
were instead of being sold as Amer
ican, or even  as English  grown as
it is said is often the case.
In places like Manchester, Leeds,
Sheffield and Glascow, the appearance of such advertisements attracts
more general notice to Canada than
in London, where the immensity of
the city and its numberless thoroughfares do not, except here and
there, offer the same opportunity
for such an exhibit. Even where it
is installed it does not attract the
same attention . At present Mr. B.
Mackinnon is looking after the Manchester agency as well as his own
in Birmingham pending the appointment of another Canadian trade
commisioner in sucession to the late
Mr.  Macnamara.
It is remarkab'e how many enquiries reach the British Columbia
and other provincial offices for information about fruit lands as a
result of these exhibits. The new
Birmingham agency has received
many enquiries owing to its window display and recent exhibits at
Westminister.

MONEY   IN   FRUIT
Kettle Valley Lands Concerned in Im
portant Deal for Commercial
Horticultural    Sections    of    British
Columbia    Are    Developing
into Important Factors
That fruit growing Is one of the
most productive sources of investment in the Province of British Columbia, is proved by a recent deal
put through at Grand Forks, which
has only within a comparatively
short time become known as a fruit
centre. The Skeena River Valley,
with its contiguous reaches of first-
class fruit lands has, therefore, a
great promise.
The largest deal in fruit land yet
put through in the Kettle Valley
was consummated when the final
papers were signed transferring to
the Grand Forks Fruit & Nursery
Company, the 225-acre tract of Martin Burrell, M. P., and the 160-acre
tract of J. D. Honsberger.
The Grand Forks Fruit & Nursery Company, was organized some
three years ago, and purchased one
hundred acrei- in the west end of
the valley. At th^.t time it was the
intention of the company to go in
for fruit raising and nursery stock,
as well as the raising of vegetables.
60 successful were Mr. Tweddle aijd
his associates in their first undertaking, that last fall they com-
pienced to look around for additional holdings, with the resu't that
after several months' work J. D.
Honsberger was instrumental in securing an option on the fine ranch
of Martin Burrell, M. P., some five
n^les east of the city. Along with
this option Mr. Honsberger turned
over to the Grand Forks Fruit &
Nursery Company his own property,
which gives the present company
485 acres of the best fruit land in
the valley.
Of this acreage twenty acres are
planted on the Burrell ranch, 120
on the Honsberger ranch, and sixty-
five acres on the company's own
ranch. It is the intention of the
company to increase this acreage
planted to fruit to 330 within the
next year. Fruit packing sheds will
be erected at each of the points of
the valley in which the three properties are located, and expert men will
handle the crop. Transportation facilities could hardly be wished any
better for the economical handling
of the crops, as each of the proper
ties are practically traversed by one
of the railways of the district.
The old company nad a capitalization of $25,000, while the new capitalization is $200,000. The officers of the company are as follows:
President, J. D. Honsberger; secretary -treasurer and managing director, A. B. Tweddle; general manager, J. D. Honsberger. In addition
to the above officers, the following
compose the directorate: G. in.
Hill, Jos. Tweddle and H. W. Collins.
FIRE  ESCAPES
HOjSpitnl   Board   Will   Instal   System
at the Institution—Business Transacted
The hospital board at its meeting
he'd on Wednesday afternoon considered the question of fire escapes
at the institution. The president,
D. G. Stewart, introducing tlie subject, said his attention and lhat of
several others of the board had
been called to the necessity for
some means of escape, He thought
It was imperative to act quickly.
It was decided to refer the matter to the executive committee with
power to act, after conferring with
the fire chief.
The fire equipment in tlie hospital, it was reported had been
tested and found in good working
order.
It was decided to have the president have all tlie books and documents of the hospital placed in the
office of the institution.
A communication from tlie government agent relative to the admission of a provincial government
patient, Moffat, was referred to the
house committee.
Hon. William Pugsley, minister
of public works, has issued an order
to the effect that the Union Jack
must he flown from every public
building in the Dominion on every
day of the year except Sunday. A
short time ago an order was issued
authorizing the flying of the flag on
the public buildings of border towns
and seaports, and this has now been
extended over the whole Dominion.

MARRIAGE   LAWS
Peculiar Statute Has Been Brought Into
Effect in Provincial
Case.
Local News
A complaint received at the council meeting from Alex Douglas,
against the fast driving of an auto
was referred to the chief of police.
Man   May   Not  Marry   Wife  of   De-
censed   Brother  and   Keep
Within  the  Law
A case in the criminal courts
which will be followed with peculiar
interest by both the legal profession
and the general public is that of
Rex vs. Herbert Baker, at New
Westminster, concerning which Mr.
W. Norman Bole, K. Q., who was
acting for the crown, telegraphed to
the attorney general's department
that a committal has been secured
and the defendant released by Judge
Lampman on suspended sentence
on payment of all crown costs. Baker was charged with a violation of
the Marriage Act of British Colum
bia, which follows closely the matrimonial law of Great Britain, his
offence consisting in that he has
contracted a marriage with his deceased  brother's widow.
That this is contra to law—even
although marriage with a deceased
wife's sister has been recently legalized—may not generally be known,
but such is the fact.
Mr. Baker, it is alleged, did not
make his brother's widow a bride
in ignorance of the law, his first application for a license to Registrar
Pottenger at Vancouver having been
refused and the obstacle in law
clearly pointed out. Baker instead
of accepting the seemingly inevitable, went to New Westminster and
in the temporary absence of the
sheriff secured a license from that
official's deputy.
That a marriage may not be legally contracted with the widow of
a deceased brother is in strict accordance with the canons of the
Anglican church, but nevertheless
will possibly appeal to the majority
as unnecessary and unwarranted restriction, scarcely defensible on the
ground of consanguinity or for
other reason. Quite possibly the
Marriage Act may be amended to
remove the restriction at a future
session of the legislature, but meanwhile the legal impediment remains.
As further illustrating the wonders of the law, it is stated authoritatively that although the offender
who marries a brother's widow in
defiance of ihis provision of the
statute may, upon conviction, be
visited with the prescribed pains
and penalties of tlie act, the courts
are not empowered to interfere with
or invalidate the marriage, which is
it tlie same time, therefore, both
legal and illegal.

The final provisional census returns give the total population of
India as 315,000,000, this being an
increase of 26,500,000 as compared
with the 1901 census.
The only offer the city received
for the old copper wire lines was
tha: of C. B. Lockhart, who offered
six cents a pound, which offer was
accepted.
For printing specifications for the
engineer's department the council
received the following tenders:
Empire. $13; Journal, $23; Optimist, $22.7 5. The tender of the
Empire was accepted.
The popular St. Andrew's Society
of this city will in about two weeks
hold a social evening for the closing of the season. The details are

a programme of games with dancing
at the conclusion.
Police Magistrate Carss has asked
the city council to recommend an increase of salary for the office to
$2,000, as he will otherwise be
forced to resign. He explains to
the council that the filling of the
office interferes with his legal business. It was referred to the finance
committee.

ENJOYED  CONCERT
Entertainment Given at the Baptist
Church Was a Decided
Success
A large audience gathered at the
Baptist church last evening and
thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment provided hy the Ladies' Aid
of the church. They watched with
interest and pleasure the many excellent tableaux given by the children and young people of the Sunday School. Several adults assisted
with songs and readings. Among
