LABOR PROPOSITION BEFORE THE COUNCIL Ex-Chief of Police NcCarvell Showed Himself Afraid of Situation—Aldermen Agree to Give Protection to Contractors Wishing to go on With Work—Industrial Workers Offer to Assist The time of the city council last evening was occupied for the most part with discussions arising out of the question of labor in the city and the difficulties between the contractors and the workingmen. Aid. Hilditch was elected acting mayor. Aid. Pattullo, who was absent from the city when the council decided upon its course of action a few weeks ago, wrote at some length. He expressed regret at the condition of affairs which he found upon return- > ing to the city. He disapproved of the course the council took; he expressed the opinion that the work- ingmen's action was ill-advised and made the suggestion that a committee consisting of some members of the council and some outside the council should go into the whole question of wages and the cost of living, contending that the committee that did sit did not sufficiently Investigate to reach a ripe conclusion. Mclnnes & Kelly and Watson each wrote letters stating that they intended to start work the next morning and demanded police protection so that the men might not be interfered with. The city solicitor, C. V. Bennett, gave an opinion based on this as to the action which the council should take in protecting contractors. He advised closing streets where work was in progress under authority given them and seeing that no one was allowed to Interfere with the work. The Industrial workers wrote, asking if In a message sent out by the council the expression had been used that the trouble was engineered by "three criminals." Aid. Pattullo's Letter Dealing with Aid. Pattullo's letter, Aid. Morrissey moved that it be received and filed. Aid. Hilditch thought Aid. Pattullo could have expressed himself on all these points before the council without writing the letter. He was, of course, well within his rights in penning the letter. Aid. Pattullo admitted he could have verbally covered the ground. He, however, wished to go on record. Aid. Clayton said that this looked like a little cheap advertising by Aid. Pattullo. If Aid. Pattullo was so anxious to settle this trouble, why did he run away when the subject was up? Aid. Pattullo, on a point of order, objected to the language used by Aid. Clayton. He desired to place his'views on record so that there should be no doubt about it. Might Be Held Over Aid. Kerr did not agree with the move to file this. There were suggestions that might be consulted later on. He suggested that this should stand over until the next meeting. Aid. Pattullo proposed that this should stand over until later In the evening, when other letters would be dealt with. The situation was a serious one, he realized. ' It was now nothing more or less than a burlesque. Aid. Morrissey objected to the language used. The council was endeavoring to deal with the question in a dispassionate way. Aid. Newton seconded the motion that the letter be filed and the motion carried. Criminal Charge The communication from the Industrial workers as to the use of the words that "three criminals" were engineering the trouble, was then dealt with. Aid. Kerr said he never heard any member of the council make, such a statement. The only person he had heard to use this was the ex-chief of police, who named Casey. He (Aid. Kerr) had known Casey for sixteen years and denied the accusation as to him. Aid. Newton thought they might as well deal with the whole subject now. He recounted the facts as he TO HAVE NEW CHIEF W. H. Vickers Has Been Offered Position as Head of the Police Department A Popular Choice Made by the Commissioners—Former Occupant Has Vacated Position called at the request of the ex-chief of police, McCarvill, who had explained that he would be unable to cope with the trouble. He denied that 'he (Aid. Newton) ever made a suggestion asking as to who should bear the expense. He had no doubt that the ex-chief of police was the one who gave information as to the meeting. He did not 'give It truthfully. It was not the work of a newspaper to take the distorted story of a dismissed official and give publicity to what was calculated to inflame public opinion. Aid. Pattullo wanted to know what instructions were given to Aid. Sm/ith and why was the meeting held in Mayor Smith's office. Chief Was Cause of Meeting Aid. Kerr said he was summoned by Chief McCarvill, who was excited. He saw all kinds of trouble. He wanted either redcoats or blue jackets. There were no instructions given to Aid. Smith while he was there. He and others of the council did not feel alarmed. Aid. Newton said that Aid. Smith was to communicate with Victoria and ascertain if the Rainbow was in northern waters with a view to seeing if it might not be kept here. Aid. Pattullo wanted to have the message produced. Clerk Woods said there was no message that he knew of. Aid. Pattullo said 'that he felt sure steps were taken to ask for protection. An Explanation Aid. Hilditch explained the situation. He believed that Aid. Smith was asked to. communicate with .Mayor Manson to find out if the Rainbow was in northern waters and if she was to keep in touch by wireless. Aid. Pattullo believed that the explanations were simply for the purpose of members of the council to get from under and put the blame on ex-Chief McCarvill. Aid. Clayton said that as far as he was concerned he was prepared to see that men who wanted to go to work at $3 a day should be protected. If the ctiy police could not afford the protection other assistance should be got. It was decided to inform the Industrial workers that no such language as that the trouble was "engineered by three criminals" had been used by members of the council. Protection Assured The question of protection, In an- tracting firms asking for it, was considered in conjunction with the solicitor's opinion. Aid. Hilditch said that he had called a special meeting of the city council in the afternoon to consider the question raised. He was in favor of dealing fairly with all. He believed the contractors could rightfully demand protection and should get it. On the other hand, he would expect the contractors to live up to their contracts and either finisli their work on time or pay the penalty of $25 a day required. There should lie no favor shown either side. Aid. Clayton did not agree with this. If conditions had arisen which made it difficult for the contractors to carry out their work he did not think they should be made lo suffer. He moved that protection be given along the lines suggested by the solicitor. Aid. Morrissey's Views Aid. Morrissey pointed out that the Provincial Government and the Dominion Government gave extensions of time. Peculiar conditions arose. The contractors, If they had done their best to carry out the contracts should be fairly treated. Aid. Newton did not want to act unfairly with the contractors. If these contractors were to demand the protection of the city they should be ready to accept the conditions of the contracts. Aid. Pattullo said that If that resolution were carried out the "boys" were going to lose. He, however, SEEK INFORMATION Alderman Pattullo Was in an Inquisitive and Fault Finding Mood Aid. Kerr Wished to Know sewer Work Was Being Done by Council How Chief McCarvell has vacated the office of chief of police of the city and has left Prince Rupert. The position has been offered W. H. Vickers, formerly chief of the provincial force, who has the confidence of every citizen and who is looked upon as a model officer. Mr. Vickers has tendered his resignation as assessor in the provincial office to the department at Victoria, and upon the acceptance of it will assume the duties of the office. In the meantime Sergeant Phillipson is performing the duties of chief of police. The resignation of Chief McCarvell follows as a result of dissatisfaction felt on the part of the police commissioners with the way in which that officer was administering the affairs of his office. The chief was instructed early in the year to see that the laws were enforced and that undesirables were not permitted in the city. Facilities were afforded the chief to carry out these instructions, the ctiy voting the necessary meney for special services to do the detective work required. Commissioner Stephens at the last monthly meeting of the board showed that he was not satisfied with the results obtained. The chief was admonished to live up to the instructions and see that the law was enforced. Finally, the commissioners became convinced that the chief was not doing as well as he could and he was again taken to task. He resigned and on Sunday morning left the city. The commissioners tendered tbe position to Mr. Vickers, who accepted conditional on his resignation being accepted at Victoria. He is awaiting word from his department headquarters. In accepting the office of chief of police, Mr. Vickers is going back to a work in which he spent many years as a member of the provincial force, training under Superintendent Hus- sey. He likes the work and prefers it to the position he now occupies as assessor, owing to the fact that the present position calls for too much inside work to suit one who has been accustomed to the outside. There is a general feeling of satisfaction In the city that "Billy Vickers" Is to assume charge of the police. He is genial and courteous and at the same time unrelenting in the discharge of his duty and will see that law and order prevail at all times. o Charged with an assault upon P. Mcintosh, a workman, Contractor Watson's case is before the police court. Part of the evidence was heard this morning after which adjournment was taken. CITY HALL SITES Several are Offered to Council Reply to Advertisements in Four Locations Are Available in Addition to the Market Place Aid. Pattullo returned to the council last evening in a very inquisitive mood after his absence. He wanted to know on what authority the chairman of the streets commltte gave instructions that workmen under one class of labor were paid under another class. Aid. Hilditch wanted definite statements. He did not know what it was Aid. Pattullo was referring to. Aid. Pattullo went further and explained that he had been informed by Mr. Clements of the engineering department that men were put on the 45c rate who were engaged at the 37 y2 rate on the instructions of the chairman. Aid. Hilditch said this was incorrect. There was a classification of the workmen and on that classification they were paid. Aid. Pattullo wanted to know if the council passed on this scale of wages, which was produced. He was informed it had, and Aid. Hilditch said on that the men were paid. Sewer work and mason's helpers got 45 cents an hour. Unclassified labor got 37% cents. Aid. Morrissey explained that the council was not legally empowered to fix a minimum rate. The action of last year's council in so doing was not a legal act. Aid. Pattullo further took exception to the acting mayor leaving the city without leaving an executive head. Aid. Hilditch said he understood Aid. Smith went south on private business. Aid. Pattullo took exception also to Mayor Manson being in Victoria in consultation with D'Arcy Tate, of the Grand Trunk Pacific instead of being in Prince Rupert. Aid. Clayton made a suggestion that possibly they realized Aid. Pattullo had returned. Fraser Street Sewer Aid. Kerr wanted to know how the sewer on Eighth street and Fraser street was being put in. He understood it was by force account and was costing much more than It colud be done by the city. A Id. Hllditch said that S. P. Mc- Alordie v-as doing it on force account. He 'iad not seen the authority of the city engineer from the old council for doing a part of it. At the council meeting last night there were four offers of sites for a city hall received in reply to the advertisement of the city clerk. This advertisement appeared as a result of a motion by Aid, Newton, who did not approve of deciding upon the market place as a location without seeking other sites to put before the public. if the market place were selected an attempt would be made to have a grant of it made to the city by the Provincial Government. Last year's council approved of the market place site and the members of this year's council who were on the board last year supported it. The new sites offered were as follows: Lots 3, 4, 5 and 6, Block 12, Section 1, being 100 feet by 110 feet, offered by Donald McLeod for $21,- 000. Lots 1 and 2, Block 13, Section 1, being 60 feet by 100 feet, offered by G. T. P. TAXATION Mayor Manson and D'Arcy Tate are on Their Way Here Question Vital to tlie Interests of Prince Rupert Is to He Grappled Witli THE ASSESSMENT was going to vote in favor of giving protection but not for that reason. Aid. Hilditch wanted to know If Aid. Pattullo would be agreeable to the other suggestion that the "pound of flesh" be demanded from the contractors. Aid. Pattullo said not as a "pound of flesh," because there might be circumstances over which the contractors had no control which made It impossible for them to carry out their contracts. The motion to give protection carried. Workers to Assist Mr. Carroll, of tlie Industrial workers, asked leave to speak and said that if tlie council was agreeable, the Industrial workers would agree to provide the protection that was asked for without the expense of police. The workers now, as all along wished to conduct the demand for Increased pay along peaceful lines. Aid. Newton proposed to accept the suggestion. Aid. Morrissey was In favor of drawin ga police force from the ranks of the Industrial workers, paying them what would be paid to any others. This was met by the announcement from members of the workers that under the terms of membership they could not accept any position under pay as policemen. MAY BE IN CHINA Dr. Beattie Nesbitt is Reported to Have Gone to Celestial Empire Police of Toronto Are Offering Rewards in Principal Cities of That Country (Special to The Journal) TORONTO, March 14.—The latest guess is that W. Bettaie Nesbitt, M. D., wanted in connection with the Farmers Bank wrecking, is In China practicing his profession. Thai the police department intend to take seriously this latest lip as to the whereabouts of tlie doctor is shown by the fact that circulars offering $200 reward tor his whereabouts were sent to the principal cities of the Chinese empire. AUSTRALIAN SIBSIDY Tlie pressure that has been brought to bear on the Federal authorities with a view of securing a reconsideration of the question of a subsidy for a steamship line to Canada has had the effect Intended In response to a request from a deputation of Brisbane merchants tlie Prime Minister announces that the government is prepared to open the matter again. According to the Postmaster-General the Cabinet is now awaiting tlie action of tiie steamship companies who may wish to make overtures for the establishment of such a service as that contemplated. Mayor Manson and D'Arcy '• Tate, the solicitor of the Grand ,j Trunk Pacific, will reach Prince " Rupert tomorrow, it is expected. ' Following their arrival negotia- ' tions between the city and the ' Grand Trunk Pacific looking to the settlement of the Grand Trunk Pacific taxation question : will be proceeded with. There ' is no denying that this is some- ' tiling of the most vital interest ' to all citizens of Prince Rupert. This is something about ' which there should surely be no - politics or sectional conflict. If ' the city Is to get the best bar- ' gain possible its citizens must ' be prepared to stand united and ■ look only to the city's welfare, ! independent of who may be the ' representatives In the negotia- 1 tions. The subject is one that ! affects the material interests of : the city. Prince Rupert citizens can surely be depended upon to look to their own best interests. When last year's council approached the subject The Journal pleaded for a similar action. The paper can therefore ask the same for this council. There should be nothing done which will interfere with an early settlement. Enough has already : been said along lines that may tend to impede tlie progress of negotiations. In the interests ' of the city. The Journal feels ! that it is voicing the sentiments : of the best elements here when it advises every one to carefully ; consider every action lest the : ends sought are not reached. Mayor Manson is returning from Victoria tomorrow by the Prince Rupert. He will, it is expected, be accompanied by D'Arcy Tate, the solicitor of the Grand Trunk Pacific, and negotiations looking to the settlement of the Grand Trunk Pacific taxation question will be continued here, it is expected. It Is the wish of all citizens that this question, which has been magnified by Interested parties on the outside to the detriment of the city, may be amicably settled. How far negotiations have proceeded between the mayor and tbe company's representative is not known here. The citizens may rest assured that Mayor Manson has carried out his pre-election pledges to approach the subject with an open mind and endeavor to reach a conclusion that will be fair and satis- factor yto the citizens of the city. The approval of the electors will be sought when such a proposition is in shape to present. Reports have been published in Vancouver which seek to convey the impression that Prince Rupert is to be wiped off the map if a settlement is not reached. In view of the studied attempts in tlie same direction that have been made from time to time, these reports will not disturb the people of this city. They are given for a purpose and garbled reports are used doubtless to convey the meaning intended. Prince Rupert Agencies, for $25,- 000.

ROY SCOIT MOVEMENT Tliei- Are Nearly 10,000 in the Body in Province of Ontario at Present "There will be 10,000 boy scouts in Ontario by next September," was the statement of different members of the Ontario council at the annual meeting of the Dominion organization. In every province except Manitoba, the boy scout movement has been organized with provincial councils, and one is in the course of or- ganizatiop there as well, it was reported. In each province the movement is to be pushed during the oming summer, and It is expected that in each there will be corresponding success with Ontario. The annual meeting was held in the railway committee rooms. Karl Grey, chief scout, was present. Lieutenant-Colonel Sherwood, Dominion ommlssioner, presided, and many of ih,. commissioners from other par's nf tiie country were there as well. Lieutenant-Colonel Sherwood ga a brief oul line nf Hie work of or- .canizntii.n. Captain BIrdwhi tie secretar: explained how firm a fo r- ,i;,.i,„, had been laid.

The meeting elected the same council for the coin ing year, at least the section elected at the annual meeting. Lieutenant-Colonel Sherwood remains the Dominion Commissioner, and Captain Birdwhistle Is secretary. o The council has appointed F. B.

COLONIAL OFFICIALS Lord Strathcona Does not Approve of of Plans for Exchange of Officials The Present Arrangement, He Thinks, Works Satisfactorily With regard to the question of the interchange of officials between the Colonial Office and the Dominions, Lord Strathcona was interviewed aud gave his views on the subject. It is evident that Canada does not attach so much Importance to the qeustion as Australia or New Zealand. Lord Strathcona expressed himself as satisfied with the existing arrangements, and was not in favor of any scheme of this kind. Tlie High Commissioners of the various Dominions, be said, were always in touch with tlie Imperial Government and with the Colonial Office, and were quite able to supply all the local knowledge of the Dominions and of their attitude on any particular question which could he desired. The suggested exchange of officials, in order to provide a more intimate knowledge on both sides, was a mere matter of routine, and he did not see what great good it could do. The men who were brought over here —and the same would apply to those who would be sent out—would not determine policies. The High Commissioner answers all the purposes required, said Lord Strathcona, who referred to the correspondence on the subject which took place in the year 1880 between the Imperial and the Canadian governments relating to the appointment of Sir A. F. Gait as High Com- missioner to -represent Canada In London. The Canadian authorities then set forth the opinion that it was manifestly impossible that the ni'ews of the Canadian government on the many questions at issue concerning tiie administration of affairs in Canada could be submitted for the intelligent consideration of His Majesty's govenrment in any other mode than that of personal communication had with their representatives in London. What better medium of ascertaining Canadian opinion can you have than the accredited representative of a Dominion? From himself, or, in his absence, from the official secretary (Mr. Griffith) of this department (and this is a department of the Canadian government), it. would be possible to get reliable information, and the "local color" in respect of any Canadian matters. Reminded of the military exchanges which have been recently 'Instituted, Lord Strathcona remarked that that was a different thing. He approved of such visits as were recently paid by Sir Charles Lucas to Australia and New Zealand. There was no knowledge to be compared with that obtained on the spot, and it was well that high officials should be brought into direct, contact with the statesmen and administrators oversea. "We desire to draw closer," said His Lordship, in conclusion, "to the Mother Country—and the closer the better, but f cannot see that much good would result from an interchange of the younger and subordinate officials." Apart from the wider question of policy, which is the standpoint from -which Lord Strathcona mainly discusses it, there is a strong feeling in many quarters that a scheme for the exchange of officials would promote a closer Imperial bond and re- uer advantageously from the purely administrative point of view. It irould enable Iho young men in tbe Colonial Office to obtain a firsthand knowledge of the Dominions, vould broaden their views, and In the same way would make them more useful and practical officials. In the same way It would provide the young men from the Dominions »ifh a wider sphere In the Imperial Service tor their activity and ambition.

PACIFIC FISHING Review of the Industry, During the Past Season Shows its Importance Alaska Has the Largest Record, According to the Statistics Which Are Supplied The Pacific Fisherman, of Seattle, has devoted Its annual number, just issued, to a comprehensive review of the Pacific fishing industry. In a leading article entitled "Feeding tlie Universe,' it has marshalled facts and figures to demonstrate the great extent of the industry, the products of which, it declares, "constitute an important part of the food of every civilized or semi-civilized nation on the globe." The fishing industry of the Pacific Coast, including Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and California, produced in the year 1910, the enormous amount of 523,- 391,601 pounds of food fishes and fish products, valued at $39,706,- 400. Enough meat, comments the Pacific Fisherman, to sustain an army of a million men in the field, on a ration of one pound a day for nearly a year and a half. Our own province contributed $8,602,306 to this total, which represented a capital employed in the British Columbia fishing industry of $6,823,852, requiring the labor of 19,500 persons, with their earnings totalling $5,580,000. In all the economic value of the industry for the Pacific Coast is represented by its employment of 58,826 men, and its wage contributions of $18,000,000 annually. In detail the production by varieties of fish used for food purposes is as striking as the total, The canned salmon production leads with 4,810,- 082 cases of forty-eight pound cans, valued at $23,024,825. Alaska produces the greatest quantity- 2,387,- 814 cases valued at $18,132,977, and British Columbia next, 762,201 cases valued at $4,192,105. Next In value is tlie production of fresh salmon, amounting to 82,198,200 pounds, valued at $4,578,479. Washington produces in pounds, 55,462,800; Oregon, IS,161,000;; California, -I,- S84.800; Alaska, 1,200,000; and British Columbia, 2,500,000. -Halibut ranks next, with 53,006,376 pounds, valued at $2,650,880. Of this total British Columbia contributes 22,500,000 against Washington state's production of 30,506,376. Mild cured salmon comes fourth In the list with 23,045 tierces, weighing about 850 pounds each, and valued at $2,074,050. For British Columbia the total In mild cured salmon Is 1,638 tierces, valued at $147,420. The other great flBb food products, such as salt and dried salmon, her- makes up the total quoted, namely: A value of $39,706,490, in which are figured whale products, oil and guano and the products of the fur seal rookeries which are to be subtracted to get the actual value of the fish food products to be credited to the Pacific fisheries. In reviewing the production of each grand subdivision of the Pacific Coast, this journal shows that Alaska leads all the other districts by its output this year in fishery products of a value of $14,830,217. The backbone of the Alaska industry, it states, is the great salmon industry, the canned salmon production alone being worth $9,881,682. The balance is made up of fresh, salted and dried salmon, fresh and frozen halibut, salt codfish, herring, fur seals, whaling and other products. A proportion of the Halibut credited to Washington and British Columbia production, is taken in Alaskan waters, but how large, the Fisherman does not venture to assert. Washington's fishery products obtain their value in the salmon, halibut and oyster catches. This state, it is remarked, owing to her valuable salnion fisheries ou Puget Sound, and the north bank of the Columbia river as well as at Gray's Harbor and Willapa Bay, on the outside coast, stands second in the value of her fishery products, showing a total for the past year of $10,171,929. The oyster industry also is counted a valuable asset of the state and is said to be growing so rapidly that it promises to become one of the most important branches of the fishing business. British Columbia is given credit for showing a more varied industry than any other district on the coast with the exception of Alaska; for having the most valuable halibut fisheries In the world; for her herring fisheries in tiie vicinity of Nanalmo, nol being eclipsed on the west coast of Vancouver Island having proved a remarkable source of wealth and putting her at the head of the list in this respect. CORONATION SCHEME Eminent Artists Offer Services Connection With Decorations in PRINCE RUPERT ASSESSMENT DISTRICT Proposed to Have Triumphal Arches Represent Various Parts of Dominions 1836 1911 The Bank of British North America 75 Yean In Business. Capital and Reserve Over $7,300,000 Money Earning Money Small weekly or monthly deposits in a Savings Account soon count up—Interest compounded at highest current rates. Deposits of $i.oo aud upwards received. Prince Rupert Branch— F. S. LONG, Manager. Four eminent artists have placed their services at the disposal of the City of Westminster with the aim of elaborating a thoroughly artistic and effective decoration of the streets on the occasion of the coronation. The artists are: Sir W. B. Richmond, R. A. Mr. Frank Brangwyn, R. A. Professor Gerald Moira. Professor E. Lanterl. In a letter to the Westminster City Council they state: "The efforts made at the coronation of the late King entailed heavy expenditure, and the result was, on the whole, excellent. But we feel that, with ample time in which to make preparations, something still more worthy of the Ctiy of Westminster could be achieved. "Our idea is that- the council, or the special committee to which the coronation arrangements are entrusted, should avail itself of the services of a committee of artists who are willing to prepare designs and put forward a scheme. "Our proposals are that In the matter of providing triumphal arches and In the decoration of the streets, unity In design and color schemes should be preserved, and that different parts of the route should be so treated as to represent in symbolical form the various states and dominions of the Empire, We should be glad to know what pecuniary provision the council is prepared to make, and we would then give details of our proposal in strict accordance with the limitations of expenditure placed upon us. "We may point out that we are anxious not to add to the cost of the decorations by imposing any charge for the work of design and supervision, and our services would be gratuitously placed at your disposal. We may add that the scheme has the warm approval of Sir L. Alma- Tadenia and many other distinguished artists." The state performance to be given at Covent Garden by command during the coronation festivities will take place on Monday, June 26. A court of revision and appeal under the provisions of the "Assessment Act" and "Public Schools Act" for the Prince Rupert Assessment District for the year 1911, will be held at the Court House, Prince Rupert, on Tuesday, the 28th day of February, 1911 at the hour of il o'clock in the afternoon.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL PLAGUE OUTBREAKS Dreaded Disease Makes its Appearance in Scattered Parts of the World Civilization Does Not Seem to Be Free of This Old Form of Pestilence LAND PURCHASE NOTICES u We are now only beginning to discern the truth about the plague. Men thought It had almost vanished from the earth, says the London Times. Medical science Ignored its existence, and In the day of trial found it hardly remembered hpw to treat It, if it ever knew. But the fact is that plague has always existed in certain spots. It has never left India, for Instance. Investigation has shown that there were continual outbreaks at last century in the highlands of Kumaon, under the shadow of the Himalayas. It is at least possible that Bombay was infected in 1896 from the Himalayas rather than from Hongkong. Plague has been continuously present in the mountains of Assyria, in Western Arabia, south of Mecca. It has never really left Mesopotamia, or the Chinese province of Yunnan. There Is an epidemic centre of long standing in Uganda. Why at the close of the nineteenth century plague should suddenly have flared forth again with widespread intensity is one of the mysteries of disease which no one can pretend to fathom. The cause is probably quite unconnected In the main, with the development of Intercommunication between nations. The sinister feature of the present pandemic is that it is accompanied by a serious prevalence of the disease among the lower animals, who are liable to communicate It to man. That is not a new condition, but much of the data concerning it is new. In England we have the disquieting rat epidemic in East Anglia. The province of Transbaikalia, which is in suspicious proximity to Kliarbin, finds that plague is endemic within its borders among a species of marmot, which is extensively hunted. Marmots in the Caucasus and in Thibet are also found to be apparently permanently infected. In the United States, west of the Rocky Mountains, a new and disturbing endemic centre of plague infection appears to have been set up within the last six years among the "ground squirrels" of California. The rat Is not the only culprit, and these centres of infection among rodents, constitute a far more insidious danger for tlie world than occasional human epidemics. Modern research into plague is still only in its infancy, but already It has suggested tl* lesson that we must awake from the dream that new civilization is necessarily exempt from the graver forms of pestilence. If we continue to cherish that delusion we may have a rude awakening. Skeena Land District—District ot Queen Charlotte islands.

Till-: MAYOR'S RETURN Pen Sketch of the Government ers and the Opposition Lead- i .Mayor Manson will return tomorrow and there is no doubt he will find considerable work to do. It is equally certain that during his absence in Victoria lie lias not been negligent of tlie city's interests and when he arrives In- will probably be in a position to show that he has been devoting a considerable time while away to matters that will work to the advantage of this place. He has been ridiculed for having been visiting relatives in Vancouver instead of coming home. We have no direct Information on the subject, but, judging Mr. Manson from his past record, we feel quite safe in denying the report that that was his mission. It will be found, we expect, that he had business In Vancouver pertaining to this city's affairs which called him there. Last evening Aid. Pattullo at the council meeting took exception to Mayor Manson going to Victoria with D'Arcy Tate, the Grand Trunk Pacific representative. That alderman seems to be fearful about the influence of Victoria and of Premier McBride. We have no doubt he will openly acknowledge that he Is fearful of that influence. Aid. Pattullo is too prone to see party politics in every move. For our part, if any aid in settling the Grand Trunk Pacific taxation question can be obtained from Premier McBride, we would be satisfied to have tlie mayor stay in Victoria even a longer time than he did. If aid can be got by a visit to Ottawa we would be perfectly agreeable to the trip being taken there. The settlement of this question is of such prime importance that anything that will assist in a solution is not to be left undone. Tlie citizens of Prince Rupert as a whole so regard it. It is not a question to lie played with and for that reason we have all along, during the life of last year's council as well as during the present year, refrained from criticisms that we felt often were warranted, in order that no sectional feelings be stirred up. How These Men strike the Observer From the Press Gallery of the House THE LABOR SITUATION With a contest on between tlie working men and the employers of labor in the city, having for its object from the standpoint of the laborers an increase in pay, it is surely unwise on the part of any section of the community to do anything that would have the effect of arousing any further feeling. The course of the Optimist and of some connected witli that paper within the past few days can only be described as an introduction of despicable politics. By exaggeration and distortion tlie council is represented as taking the course of calling in naval and military forces to combat imaginary outbreaks on the part of the workers. An explanation of the situation shows that a chief »f police whose Looking down from tlie press gallery of tlie local legislature one is struck by the four rows of heads of the seated figures of members in the chamber below, says a press representative of the News-Advertiser. The rows are diversified and illuminated by bald pates interspersed to shed a halo-like glow over the circle of their more hirsute neighbors. There are the bald, the half- bald, the neutral and the anti-bald, and surely the most prominent among the latter is the gray and wig-like covering of the Premier himself. For nature has blessed the Hon. Mr. McBride with a crown of glory which would dignify as well the chief dignitary of the court of justice as it does a leader in the councils of state, and it is surely fitting that the Hon of British Columbia politics should have a lion's mane. Since assuming the premiership eight, years ago, the Hon. Richard McBride has risen steadily in tlie estimation of his followers and the country at large. He has shown that he combines at once strength and judgment. He knows when to strike and strike hard, but in ordinary times there is no one more graceful or soothing, or who knows so well how to take the sting away from the most peremptory refusal. The same fact that has enabled him to hold on to office .by a shoestring during the first years of his administration enables him now to keep in harmony a rather topheavy majority. Mediaeval in aspect, lie is modern in method. On the premier's left hand sits his right hand man, "Napoleon" Bowser. With liim again tlie short, crisp, iron-grey locks are emblematic of strength and business judgment. A true Daniel in the courage which enables him to stand alone, like that feerless prophet he often finds himself in the lion's den, but generally manages to come out unscathed. The sharp eyes and rather hard-set jaw are those of a fighter, but he is at least a good fighter, and puts force without malice into his blows He has a marvelous mastery of detail, and what he promises he will perform. Whatever his pugnacity, it is softened by a generosity and genial sense of humor, that have helped to gather around him a large circle of personal admirers and friends. The courage with which he has stood hostile criticism on the False Creek question in the past and is standing still more on the South Vancouver annexation question at, present must win for him an admiration even among those who oppose him, which will stand him in good stead when the questions are settled by the second thought, which Is better than first, when the sporadic indignation of tlie moment has prowess seems lo have been taxed unwarranted llie(i away and "le 'lexl election is when he took the course of ejecting a defenseless reporter from his office, became alarmed and Implored the council to give him "red coals." Al any oilier time than one like this, the whole matter could lie treated as a juke. Under present conditions ii had its serious aspect, although to the honor of the working men of tlie city il can be said they have shown much inure moderation and good sense than has been shown by some others. Jn order to derive the fullest benefit from the wild report, steps were taken to meet the working men and under pretense of advising moderation, langatige was used that could only be interpreted as calculated to make trouble. It Is to be hoped that the course pursued was not the result of concerted action by any section, although It must be admitted there is not lacking evidence to indicate that it was such. The working men of Prince Rupert have shown that they know how lo conduct, a crusade in their own Interests In a manner that reflects credit upon them. There has been no attempt to use force but a studied determination to resist any- in sight. On the premier's right sits Hon. Price Ellison, whose thin fair hair bids soon to leave him in Ihe bald- headed class. The' minister of finance is nf country, breed, ami there is lhat about his face and figure sng- gestlve "f the English squire of the good old type, lie radiates wholehearted generosity, mingled with a great deaj of practical shrewdness. Side by side to tlie right of Hon. Mr. Ellison sits Hon. .Mr. Mel'htllips president of the council, and Mr. F. L. Carter-Cotton, the expresident; and surely there never was a sharper contrast between two men. Mr. McPhllllps, dark-haired and impulsive, bristles with energy from the tips of his restless fingers to tlie ends of his exposed moustache. Mr. Cotton, bald and fair, is a picture of shrewd reserve, his meditative pose when he sits with arms folded and head slightly bent being somewhat suggestive of the Bhodisat. Both are alike, however, in their reverence for things as they exist, and in their sincere desire to serve their own generation. An alert figure on the back row of ministers Is Hon. Dr. Young, provincial secretary. With his brushed- up hair and high-strung mien he appears to be a blonde replica of Hon. Mr. McPhllllps, but he is much more cautious and reserved, though when filled by an unjust remark he can spring a retort with lightning- like rapidity. His educational culture and knowledge of medicine, fit him well for the position he holds, since both the schools and the board of health come under his department. To the right of the provincial secretary sits Hon. Thos. Taylor, minister of public works, a quiet, hardworking man whose face carries on it some reflex of worry over the thousand duties of his Important office. Hon. Mr. Taylor Is also among the fair-hajred class, and his crop begins to wilt a little. He is a most courteous and painstaking minister, and if be does not speak much in the house it is well known that it is less for want of ability than for want I of time. In striking contrast to Hon. Mr. Taylor appears, his right-hand neighbor, Hon. Mr. Ross, minister of lands, the latest and youngest addition to the cabinet. He, too, might well be classed with the premier among the anti-bald, his mop of black hair making an effective color contrast to that of his leader. His strong, smiling face and good humor in speech win for him friends all the time. He has presented a number of bills to the house during the session, and has explained and defended thm all with an ability that shows that his brain is not unevenly matched with his body, which is of a giant type. ' 'Turning from the government to the opposition, the Most striking figure is that of Mr. Hawthornthwaite, of Nanaimo, whose dark hair has shed off the crown of his scalp, leaving him in a state of incipient baldness. Brisk, ready witted and occasionally frothy, Mr. Hawthornthwaite occupies a unique position in the house. While occupying the seat of leader of the opposition he not infrequently comes into collision with Mr. Brewster, of the real opposition. In the main, however, his blows are directed at the government and if sometimes rather illogical, be is always forcible and seldom uninteresting. Should he leave the house, as fte intimated on the closing day, lie will be badly missed. He is sociably inclined and personally popular, and his witty remarks enliven the proceedings with many a laugh. Of a different style is his smaller built colleague, Mr. Parker Williams. He, too, is a humorist, but of a different stamp, his fun consisting of dry sarcasm and racy illustrations. During the past session he displayed an occasional bitterness, especially against the prime minister, quite out of keeping with his genial smile. As a speaker he is rather monotonous at times, and when worked up mops the perspiration from his brow with a handkerchief. Personally Air. Williams is of a kindly and genial temperament, but it does seem as if of late years the bitterness of the anti- capitalists is beginning to eat into his bones. Mr. Brewster's head is as smooth as his manner, and as level as his solid sense. During the session he has plowed a lonely furrow with ability and courage, and has won the esteem of his very numerous opponents. By bis side sits Mr. Jar dine, a somewhat bristly political Ishmaellte, who, elected as a Lib eral, now votes as a Conservative, though he does not yet seem to have gained a place in their councils. A year ago the opposition was a quartette, with Mr. Hawthornthwaite as leading soprano, Mr. Williams as a rather monotonous tenor, Mr. Williams as a very liberal bass, and With .Mr. Jardine to supply tbe discords. Tliis session it Is reduced to a trio, and should Mr. Hawthornthwaite disappear, another session may see il reduced lo a lonely duet between -Mr. Brewster on one side and Mr, Williams on (lie other. Should Mr. Hawthornthwaite's seat pass over to the Conservatives they will be able to entertain the house with variations on "The Vacant Chair,." It is announced that a Canadian syndicate headed by Sir William Mackenzie, which already owns the electric railway and lighting system in Monterey, Mex., has acquired a concession from the government for the construction of a large dam across the Balasas river and installation of a large hydro-electric plant In the state of Guerrero. The contract for the construction of tho dam has been let, and the work will cost approximately $3,000,000. The Mackenzie syndicate Is also said to be negotiating for the purcliaes of valuable railroad concessions. The British Columbia Company LIMITED.

It is simply a hull, without any top hamper, masts or even funnels, as it will be operated by internal combustion oil engines, the same as automobiles. It will be the first boat of this kind to be operated on the Great Lakes for commercial purposes, and will also be the first vessel in the canal carrying trade to use double propellers, which, it is claimed, will prove of great advantage in manoeuvering. The adoption of this type of boat is in line with the natural evolution of the canal freighter. With the short season and high wages paid, shippers have been using all their ingenuity to get as much out of a given size of vessel as Is possible. The lake tonnage is divided into two classes, the big upper freighter and the canal boat, while the latter is divided into two types, the package freighter and and the bulk carrier. The great increase in the bulk shipments of coal from Lake Erie and Lake Ontario points to Montreal, the the building of the Port Colborne elevator and the elevators in Montreal, together with the pulp wood trade, have of late tended to make the bulk freighter of a most important type. Tbe continual struggle has been to get the greatest possible deadweight on the limited draft. But with the limitations of the canals and locks, it Is Impossible to increase the dimensions of ships, so that any increase in deadweight must be taken oul of tho material and equipment. Tlie limit in reduction of weight of material used In construction lias long been reached, so that the only method of increasing carrying capacity was by reducing tlie weight of the propelling machinery. With this idea In view internal combustion oil engines have been adopted for the new boat, which was designed by John Reid & Co., Board of Trade Building, Montreal, Tlie introduction of this type of engine has effected such a saving of space and deadweight that The Toiler will carry nearly 3,000 tons or about 97,- 000 bushels of grain through the canals, an increase of about 15,000 bushels over the largest canal carriers fitted with steam engines. To get such a carrying capacity boilers had to be dispensed with altogether. The boat's propelling machinery consists of two sets of oil engines driving twin screws. The latter feature Is a revolution In itself as It will be the first canal boat so You Can Avoid This by sending your Clothes to the PIONEER STEAM LAUNDRY There are Many Reasons Why IT IS TO YOUR INTEREST We do first-class work and are careful with your Garments.

PIONEER STEAM LAUNDRY If you want the honey That comes from the hive Take up the phone and Call one, double five. equipped. The advantage claimed is that the vessel will be under better control while manoeuvering in narrow waters and in lining up previous to entering a lock. The engines are directly connected, without clutches, to the propeller shafts, and arc a modification of the Diesel engine. There Is no Injection system of any kind, therefore, no delicate joints or connections to get broken or loose, which might stop Hie engines at a critical moment. The starting and reversin ggear is simple, and said to be more certain than with the steam engine, and is done by means of compressed aid, the same power being also used to drive the steering engine and other auxiliaries. The fuel to be used is crude petroleum, which Is Injected Into the cylinder without being vaporized, where it is ignited and burned in a charge of hot air. Tills air when the oil is injected is at a dull red heat, generated under very high compression. The Toiler will arrive at Montreal and go Into service early in the coming navigation season, and will be the first gas or oil propelled vessel to cross the Atlantic. It is regarded by ship engineers as a big step in the solution of the canal navigation problems, and the prediction Is made that within a decade or two steam will be out of date on canal and lake boats. In connection with the construction of The Toiler, experiments are being carried on with high speed oil engines in combination with electric transmission, which it is expected will mark a further advance in economy and efficiency In Canadian canal transportation. An interesting feature will be that through suitable switches and connections the control of tlie propellers will be placed In Hie hands of the navigating officer right In tlie bow of the Ship. This will be a very great advantage in handling a vessel through the narrow canal channels and locks.

Canada Sir William Van Horn has addressed the following letter to Mr. Charles Caput, chairman of the Anti- Reciprocity League: "Sir—I regret that, having to leave for England on Thursday I shall not be able to attend the meeting of the Anti-Reciprocity League, and give my views on the question of reciprocity. "What I have to say on the subject has no reference to party politics, for 1 have nothing to do with pontics, nor any particular Interests. 1 speak only as an individual who for the past thirty years has been working heart and soul for the upbuilding of this country and one to whom the great development of the past two decades has been a source of Immense pride and satisfaction. "To my amazement and distress and shame I now see the magnificent work of a generation traded away for a childish' sentiment, the splendid commercial and industrial position we have readied and our proud independence bartered for a few wormy plums, and I feel it my duty to join in the protest which is started from every station of the country. Today we are in an enviable position, with a commerce three times as great per capita as that of the United States, and without a cloud in our sky save the one which has just now been raised. Does not common sense tell us to stay wliere we are and to let well enough alone? The termination of the old reciprocity agreement by the United States in 1S66 was a heavy blow to Canada, and the fourteen years which followed were full of trials and despondency, for Canada then had no west. She was thrown back on herself by the Great. Lakes and she had not in herself a market for the products or a market for the support of any manufacturing concern. During these years annexationists were bred of hopelessness, and many good and honest people urged annexation as the only future open to the country. Canada's Awakening "Then came in 1879, our national policy and factory chimneys began to appear above our tree tops and their number rapidly increased. Then came the Canadian Pacific Railway opening up our Great West, and from that time Canada advanced by leaps and bounds. "The United States, by the McKin ley tariff, added brick upon brick to her wall against us, but Canada prospered more and more. She was beginning to find herself. Then came the Dingley tariff, which crowned the United States tariff wall with broken glass bottles and barbed wire, and then Canada quite found herself. "Hear what Senator Beveridge, chief mouthpiece of the administration at Washington in the reciprocity matter, says about this policy of his government: " 'Not the Bourbons of France in the time of Louis XVI, not the terms of England in the period of George III, ever insisted on a policy so blind, so foolish and so ruinous as that so- called statesmanship which, instead of fostering a purchasing market in Canada is making Canada a manufacturing competitor.' "And hear Senator Beveridge again: " 'There must be reciprocity with Canada. Our tariff with the rest of the world does not apply to our northern neighbor. That policy already has driven American manufacturers across the Canadian borders, built vast plants with American capital on Canadian soil, employing Canadian workmen to supply the trade. That capital should be kept at home to employ American worklngmen to supply the Canadian demand. We should ndmlt. Canadian wood pulp and paper free In return for Canada admitting our agricultural Implements, our engines, pi,nips and other machinery, too. We should admit Canadian lumber to American planing mills in return for Canada freely admitting tlie other American products. We should have a special tariff arrangement with this intimate neighbor and natural customer, This would mean millions of dollars of profit every year to American industry. Reciprocity would mean vast increases In Canada's purchases from lis.' "As I said twenty years ago In speaking of ibis same subject of rec- Iproclty, it is not necessary that a small boy should be a school boy to know what all this means. And if Indiana, which Is a second-rate state, is to gain millions by reciprocity, what millions must the great manufacturing Btates gain? And who will Who else? Mr. Fielding's \ie«'s "The other day Mr. Fielding, in a cable message to the Canadian High Commissioner in London, said that for fifty years the people of Canada and both of its political parties had wished for reciprocity. That was true of the sixties and seventies, but this has not since been true. 'For the past twenty years we have heard only an occasional whine from some survivor of Canada's dark age. We have heard nothing for many years back of commercial union, reciprocity and all those fads which grew from empty pockets. The Liberal party came into power eighteen years ago. The tariff was accepted by them as a national need. It was improved in many ways and with great intelligence and preference was given to Great Britain, and our whole country applauded and was content. Everybody felt secure and the country advanced prodigiously. Thousands of miles of railway were built and our ocean steamships increased by hundreds. Our commerce and manufactures reached a height never before dreamed of. The government, and particularly Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Mr. Fielding, had the respect and confidence and good will of everybody, even of their political opponents. "Now, out of a clear sky comes Mr. Fielding, plunging like Icarus into darkness and threatening to take us all with him. Was there ever such an exhibition of crawling and cringing as Canada's representatives have just now given us at Washington? We have heard much of the dignified attitude of our government on the subject of reciprocity which was only assumed after repeated snubs. We have been told that if there was anything more to be said about reciproctiy it must be said at Ottawa, but the very first signal from Washington we have seen Canada's representatives hurrying there, and without consultation with one of our business interests, and apparently without consultation with their colleagues, hastily assenting to terms vitally affecting our vast and complicated trade and commerce, and perhaps, invalidating our political future. I refuse to believe that our honoured Premier was a willing party to what has been done. But whether he was or was not, the certain consequences to the country are so serious as to quite overshadow all personal considerations, and these consequences should be averted somehow. The well-being of the country and its self-respect are at stake, and the shameful thing that is proposed is surely against the wishes of four-fifths of its people, and I doubt if it would, if clearly understood, find a dozen supporters in the Dominion.. It is .perhaps, not possible to make a tariff quite satisfactory to every community, every interest, and every individual, but, rightly considered, our tariff has come pretty near to this. Faimcrs' Demands "Some of the farmers in the Canadian Northwest want reciprocity in the hope that it will bring them better prices for wheat and cheaper agricultural implements. It will do neither to any appreciable extent. They should remember that our tariff way has made a home market which has made them prospjerous. They have onl yto compare our exports of wheat and flour to foreign markets with our total production of wheat to read the extent and value of this home market. And as regards agricultural implements, they have only to compare the prices they have to pay with the prices paid Immediately south of the boundary to lo see that in most cases the American manufacturer pays the duty and the extra freight and he can do this because the cost at his works is only a fraction of what the farmers pay, nearly all of the rest going to his profit nnd io the middleman. Reducing Hie tariff will not cheapen the Implements, it will only add to the American manufacturers' profit, lint if a comparison is made with the selling prices south of the boundary, cash prices should be compared with cash and not casli with credit prices. "We are told that some farmers in the Maritime Provinces favor reciprocity in tlie expectancy that it will bring better prices for their potatoes and apples. All tlie possible gain in that way may easily be known by looking at the prevailing prices of these things in the New States. It is not much, and our neighbors expect reciprocity to bring prices down. On tbe other hand, there are easily reached markets for these things. There are the farmers of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, who may, with a little effort, secure twice as much as they are now getting for their potatoes and apples and at the same time quadruple the demand by reducing their prices one- half to the consumer. Take Cuba, for instance, wliere a barrel of potatoes, yielding the Canadian farmer seventy-five cents, reaches the consumers at seven dollars. Also with apples. The Canadian trade commissioner at Havana will verify this statement. Our farmers count on exporting potatoes and apples to the United States, while these same things are exported from the United States, to Cuba and elsewhere. Ontario suffered in her butter, eggs, cheese and such things until the Dingley tariff compelled a turn to other markets, which proved to be more profitable. Better Without Reciprocity "Aside from the fisheries, of which I do not know enough to speak, I do not believe that there is any industry anywhere in Canada that cannot find a way to be better off without reciprocity than with It, and with many industries the question is a vital one. And even with our codfish, judging from the prices to consumers in the west, it may well be that we are, as with potatoes and apples, overlooking what might easily be made our very best market. Let us not turn away with the idea that if we make a mistake in this matter of reciprocity we shall be able to correct it at pleasure. It may not be permitted us to do so. It should be remembered that there are such things as vested interests of nations, real or alleged and terribly binding upon the weaker party. "When Mr. Hill has extended his seven or eight lines of railway into the Canadian northwest—lines which have for some years been resting their noses on the boundary line waiting for reciprocity, or something of the kind, to warrant them in crossing, and when other American channels of trade have been established, affecting our territory, and when the American millers have tasted our wheat and the American manufacturers have got hold of our markets, Is It probable that we shall be permitted to recede? Not a bit of it. We are making the bed to He in and die in. Sincerely yours, "W. C. VAN HORNE." Before putting on patent leather shoes, always rub the surface of the vamp briskly with the palm of the hand, thus softening the shoe and rendering it less liable to crack. Many patent boots "crackle" all over the first time they are worn, when this precaution might prevent the accident. Another method is the warming of the shoe, and It must always be remembered that shiny shoes are never kept in cold places. LAND PURCHASE NOTICE.

LOCOMOTIVES The Company is Building the Engines for Passenger Service in the West Large Type Is Being Provided With All the Latest Improvements Included The Grand Trunk Pacific is building for its passenger service, engines for the Pacific coast end of Its line at the present time. The Baldwin Locomotive Works have an order for five of the type to be used and the last copy of the Railway and Marine AVorld states that six of that type are being built at tbe company's works in .Montreal, which would Indicate that eleven are under order. The locomotives will weigh about 345,000 pounds with the tender when ready, or over 170 tons. The Railway and Marine World, referring to the locomotives, says: During the past few years the weights of express passenger trains have increased to such an extent that it has become necessary, on many roads, to employ six-coupled locomotives in high-speed service. For work of this character, either the ten-wheeled or Pacific type is usually selected. With the same maximum load per driving wheel, the Pacific type shows no superiority over the ten-wheeled type, as far as adhesion weight is concerned; and hence at slow speeds the tractive force developed by the two classes should be approximately the same. The Pacific type, however, possesses greater boiler capactiy, and this Is a distinct advantage In high speed work, or wliere long grades must be negotiated. The Baldwin Locomotive Works has recently built five Pacific locomotives for the Grand Trunk. They are known as class P according to the railway company's classification. The tractive force exerted is 31,500 pounds, and with 131,500 pounds on driving wheels, the ratio of adhesion is 4.15. They were built in accordance with drawings and specifications furnished by the Grand Trunk Railway. The boiler used in this design is of the extended wagon type with wide firebox. The longitudinal seams are sextuple riveted and welded at the ends. The side water legs of the firebox slope inward as they rise; the staying is radial, and the front end of the crown is supported on four rows of expansion links. The firedoor opening is formed by flanging both sheets outwardly, and uniting them with a sleeve. The master mechanic's standard front end is used, ,with a short extension and tapered stack. The furnace contains a brick arch, supported on four water tubes, each three inches in diameter. The steam distribution is controlled by balanced slide valves, driven by Stephenson link motion. The rockers are placed between the first and second pairs of driving wheels, immediately in the rear of the links; and each rocker is connected to the corresponding link by a short transmission bar. The valve rods are necessarily long and are supported by the guide yoke. This plan of motion dispenses with heavy transmission bars, such as are necessary when the links and rockers are placed on opposite sides of a driving axle. The frames are of cast steel, with rear sections of forged iron. For a locomotive of this size, the main frames are comparatively narrow, their uniform width being four inches. Each frame is cast in one piece with a single front rail, to which the cylinders are bolted. The rear sections are two inches wide by twelve Inches deep, and ore arranged to accommodate the trailing truck, which is of the radial type with outside journals. The driving springs are underhung, and are equalized with tlie trailing springs. All truck wheels under the locomotive and tender are steel tired, and were manufactured by the Standard Steel Works Company. The trailing truck wheels have cast steel centres, while the front engine truck wheels and the tender wheels have cast iron centres. The Mansell type of fastening is used in ail cases. The tender frame is composed of ten-Inch steel channels and the trucks are of the arch bar type, with cast steel bolsters. The tank has a water bottom, and provision is made for carrying 7,000 gallons of water and ten tons of coal. These locomotives, although not of exceptional size, are the first Pacific types shipped to Canada by the builders,, and are therefore of con siderable interest. The principal dimensions are as follows: Gauge, 4 feet, 8 y2 Inches. Cylinder, 22 inches by 28 inches. Valve, balanced slide.

SPORTS BOUNCE BALL time, yet without realizing the fact that they are working. The game can be played any place and the grounds are not limited to any certain measurement. In a gymnasium a volley ball is stretched across the middle of the floor ad the players are evenly divided on each side. The ball used is the lightest size voley ball with a skin cover. Service starts from the back line and the ball is knocked over the net into the opposing territory. The object is to return the ball before It hits the floor or before it has taken more than one bounce. Each player, however, Is entitled to one bounce of the ball before It Is returned.

White, physical director at Illinois Athletic Club, claims to have solved the problem of exercise for out-of- eoudition business men. The game resembles volley ball In that the ball used is the same and a similar net is used, but "bounce ball" has the faculty of making staid business men laugh and perspire at the same "Bernie" Schwengers, of Victoria, has been pronounced the champion tennis player of the northwest by the ranking committee. Last fall, before a large crowd of enthusiasts, he defeated Capt. Foulkes, who holds the Canadian title, by a decisive margin. In view of this record there are many in favor of sending the Victorian east this summer to compete for the highest honor to be obtained in the Dominion in this line of sport. Of course his chances of success cannot altogether be rated on his showing against Foulkes In the match referred to because the champion was not at his best. That is admitted. Still Schwengers so far outclassed Foulkes, so palpably had him beaten in every department, that there is ground for the belief that, providing he is playing in as good form this season and that no extraordinary phenomena] performers spring up in the east, he would be able to bring back the title. If tlie proposition is taken up seriously it is probable that an effort will be made to find Schwengers a suitable partner in order that he would be' able to participate in the men's doubles in the eastern tournaments. J. Cambie, of Vancouver, has been mentioned in this connection. He was playing a strong game last summer, and, with Schwengers in Spokane made a good showing.

He has commenced to learn a new leg stroke by which he not only hopes to increase his pace, but also to lessen the strain on his stamina. It is called the "Northern kick," and offers an absolute minimum of resistance to the water when the legs are being drawn into a position for a kicking. Its motion increases the speed and there is not nearly the same fatigue resulting. o Lord "Jack" Fisher devised a method of warming off those leis-j urely bores who seek to rob the busy J man of his time. Whoever visited the Admiral during his active service days, had to read this printed slip before admission: "When you go to see a business man, go on business, and state your business in a business-like manner. When you have concluded your business, go about your business, and leave him to finish his business, and mind your own business. Skeena Land District—District of Queen Charlotte Island.

INITIATIVE SYSTEM Areicle iu Contemporary Review, Condemns the Method Now Popular In Conjunction With Referendum It Is Being Used in Many States of Union Mr. Frank Foxcroft, writing from Boston, Mass., contributes to tlie Contemporary Review an article strongly condemnatory of what he calls the Initiative-Referendum in the United States. It has been adopted partly because the Americans are a people in a hurry, and partly because bitter experience has shown people in several states that, no matter what care they take in electing representatives, the great moneyed interests can always buy them up, but no multi-millionaire can buy the massed voice of the whole people. The Initiative-Referendum has been adopted in eight states—South Dakota, Utah, Oregon, Nevada, Montana, Oklahoma, Missouri and Maine. These have adopted constitutional provisions for a referendum, while a ninth state, North Dakota, is on its way to enactment. In Utah the system has not yet been put in operation. In Nevada there has also been a hitch, and in Montana the system has not yet been subjected to a practical test. Therefore, South Dakota and Oregon are the only two states in which the practical working of the Initiative- Referendum can be studied. In Soutli Dakota any petition signed by 5 per cent of the electors is sufficient to set the Initiative-Referendum in motion. In Oregon a constitutional amendment can be carried in four months, whereas formerly it took four years. The system, as described by Mr. Foxcroft, seems about as crazy as any ever devised by the wit of man. On the same ballot paper by which the elector votes for candidates for a large number of offices he must at the same time vote for any number of new laws or amendments to laws which are submitted to the people. In Oregon in 1910 the luckless elector had submitted to him a list of thirty-seven candidates for office and thirty- two new laws. Arguments for and against pending laws are distributed free of cost to the electors. By this system anyone who gets from 5 per cent to 10 per cent of the electors to propose any bill, no matter how wildcat it may be, can have that bill passed into law by a single majority of the people without any amendment, preliminary debate, or consideration by committee. It is not necessary for more than half the electors on the rolls to vote for any measure as long as the majority of those actually voting record their votes in favor of the bill. As a rule only half, or sometimes only a fifth, of tlie electors who vote for the candidates take the trouble to vote for the measures proposed. Therefore, it is quite possible for any law to be proposed by 5 per cent of the electors on the register and carried by a mass vote at w'hich 70 per cent of the electors never record an opinion. Mr. Foxcroft thanks Heaven that, there is no prospect of the Initiative-Referendum being submitted to national legislation. r«»».»«—-———>m I N.N. Stephens & Co. Ltd.)

LAST YEAR REAL ESTATE OWNERS IN Western Canada MADE $100,000,000 From the most accurate figures obtainable, over One Hundred Million Dolars was made by real estate owners in growing cities and towns of Western Canada last year. This vast wealth was exclusive of improvements and represented actual increase in land values alone. Original records gathered by the Winnipeg Free Press prove that in' eight Western Canadian Cities tbe value of land alone—not counting improvements—increased 562 per cent for the last five years—an annual increase of 112 per cent for eacli city during the last five years. These figures indicate that investments in live, growing cities in Western Canada are as safe and sure as an Investment can be, and that 100 per cent profit each year Is almost a certainty. THIS YEAR THEY WILL UNDOUBTEDLY MAKE $100,000,000 MORE You have an oportunlty now to participate in these immense profits by being one of the original purchasers of town lots in'the Grand Trunk Pacific addition to the fast growing Western Canadian cities, otherwise known as GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAIL- WAV DIVISION POINTS WATROUS, MELVILLE, WAIN- WRIGHT, BIGGAR The Grand Trunk Pacific offers in these splendidly located, fast, growing Division Points and in the town- site of Tofield an opportunity for the investor to share in the large profits that'are sure to accrue as a result of the rapid and substantial growth that characterizes Grand Trunk Pacific Division Points and well located cities and towns in Western Canada. The Grand Trunk Pacific does not offer townsltes or additions so located as to make investments In them of questionable value. The object In selling these lots at the low priceB at which they are offered Is to encourage the upbuilding of these cities from which the Grand Trunk Pacific will derive vastly more benefit than from the sale of lots. Now is the time to buy. Choice lots range from $100 upwards on easy payments of 10 per cent cash and 10 per cent a month.
