Price, Five Cents. x ^ctoria, Bws**f POWER PROPOSALS R. Brutinel Meets the Board of Trade and Discusses Plans for City. Report Received by Special Committee Recommends Accepting Proposition Offered At a meeting of the Board of Trade held on Wednesday evening a report was presented from the special committee appointed to go into the question of the proposition presented by R. Brutinel on behalf of the Tsimpshean Power Company. The report was presented by the chairman of the committee, J. H. Pillsbury. It was as follows: To the Prince Rupert Board of Trade. Gentlemen—Your committee begs to report on the above subject as follows: In considering this proposition, your committee almost immediately encountered two phases of the question which seem to require considerable study. The first is the prices and the second the method of measurement of power used, on .which the prices are based. As a matter of fact, these two questions are so closely related that they may be discussed as one subject. There is no explanation in the company's proposal as to how the prices of power delivered are to be based. A price of so much per horse power per year is set forth, varying In accordance with the amount of power used, within certain limits. It Is the custom when selling electrical power by the horse power per year to base measurements on what is known as the "peak load." Unlike either water or gas, electricity can be stored only to a very limited extent and at a relatively great ex,- pense. A company must be prepared with a plant, however, for generating and distributing electricity, of sufficient capacity to take care of the aggregate requirements of all of its customers at the moment of their greatest demand, arid this is called the "peak of the load." The "load factor" is another form of expression for the same thing. For Instance, If the "peak load" is five times the average load, then the load factor is 20 per cent. Twenty-three per cent Is a common value for the "load factor." Fixed Costs The fixed costs of an electric company are very large as compared to other business undertakings, because a considerable proportion of the Investment required to provide for the "peak of the load" must stand idle about twenty hours of each day, except for a short period of each year, and also because of the necessity of being ready at all times of the day or night to take care of any demand which the customers may make. An essential feature Is that the cost of being ready to furnish electricity when called for is one thing, and the cost of manufacturing the current actually delivered is a different thing. It appears, therefore, that the custom in vogue of basing measurements on the "peak of the load" is justifiable provided measurements are properly taken. The Tsimpsean company has nothing to say on this point, but we may, rest assured that Its measurements will be based on the "peak load." We do not know whether (he company would use an annual or a monthly maximum load In figuring the quantities of current supplied. The more frequently the maximum is determined, the less will be the cost to the consumer. We would recommend that the maximum load be determined at least monthly over a 30 minute period, and this, as far as we can learn, is customary in other places. Alternative Method Another method of charging for electricity, which is being more and more used, is as follows: A small fixed charge for so much per H. P. Is made, commonly $1 per month, an In addition a price of so much per K. W. hour is made. By this method the consumer conies much nearer paying for the power he actually uses, since only a part of the total charge Is dependent on the "peak load" and the balance Is made on the power actually used. The Western Canada Power Company has adopted this method of charges for its power from Stave Lake and It is understood that It Is meeting with general favor. Your REARRANGE PLANS * (Special to The Journal) * Ottawa, Aug. 4.—R. L. Bor- * den has made a slight change * in his plans. He will not, as * intended, go to Toronto on Bat- * urday, having engagements * which will keep him in Ottawa. * The details of his Ontario tour * will be arranged In Toronto. * * * * * + + * * committee would recommend that the TIslmpsean company be asked to submit a scale of prices based on this method of charges. Considering next the schedule of prices submitted by the company, perhaps the best method of determining whether these prices is reasonable is by comparison with those charged in other cities in this country. The following list shows the prices charged in various cities, together with the size of the works and the population of the different places: , Fernle—Population, 6,000; muni- cipial plant, 300 K.W.; lighting, 15c; discount; power, 10c to 2%c plus $1 per month H.P.

(Continued on Page Eight) REJECT THE TERMS Michel & Hosner Will Not Agree to the Findings of Conciliation Board Vote Is Now Heing Taken by the Workers at the Difefrent Centres (Special lo The Journal) Fernie, Aug. 4.—Michel and Hos- mer miners have rejected the recommendations of the chairman of the conciliation board, Dr. Gordon. The striking miners at the different centres are taking the vote on accepting the majority report' of the board of conciliation, following its acceptance by the otherators. This allows for higher wages, but for the "open shop" at the same time. An nonnceinent of the vote will be made August 4. The Corhin mine closed Monday indefinitely; also all trains will stop running on the Eastern B. C. Railway, MacGillvray and Corhin. In accepting the board's award, the operators point out that they do so because of the suffering certain to be caused the public should the strike not be ended before the winter. "We wish it to be understood," TOGO IN NEW YORK Japanese Naval Hero Has Reached United States-He is Heartily Received He Will Meet President Taft at Washington, Leaving Tonight (Special to the Journal) New York, Aug. 4.—Admiral Togo arrived here at midnight on the Lusi- fanla. Representatives of the state, war, and navy departments met him at quarantine and extended a welcome. Admiral Togo went ashore In a cutter, and tonight goes to Washington to be received by President Taft. o Opera Company The Cleveland Musical Comedy Company has been engaged to give a week's entertainment in the Empress Theatre, commencing tonight with the "Honeymoon Trail." Popular operas will be given, with a change of programme each evening. Saw Good Ore Mr. Justice Galliher returned yesterday from a trip as far as Hazelton. He enjoyed the run up the Skeena and is pleased with the prospects which are offering for settlement. While he did not visit the mines .in the district, he says he saw some samples taken from the different camps which were exceedingly promising. The ore was all that could be wished for, so that theret should be a good account from the mining industry. SHOP BLOWN UP FINDING GOOD COAL British Pacific Coal Company is Making Good Progress in its Mining. Within Ninety Days the Company Will Make Initial Shipments Here W. G. .McMorris, who is the managing director of the British Pacific Coal Company, reached the city a few days ago from the Queen Charlotte Islands on his way south. He left this morning for Vancouver on business connected with his company. The development work at the mines is progressing eminently satisfactory, and there is every prospect that the mine will be shipping in a small way this fall. The coal, reference to which has been made in these columns at different times, is an anthracite of excellent quality, rich in fixed carbons ard with a small percentage of ash. Mr. McMorris says his manager, Mr. Archibald, who is an experienced coal miner, classifies the coal as the best yet found on the Pacific Coast. It Is close to salt water, being easily transported over a short incline from the mine to the shipping point. Within 90 days he expects to have an output of about 25 tons a day for shipment to Prince Rupert, which will be a boon to the citizens here. From that time on the increase in output should be quite marked. Mr. McMorris is taking half a ton of the coal south with him for demonstration purposes. WANT A STATION THHK WORLD'S PEACE (Special to The Journal) * Washington, Aug. 4.—Gen- * eral arbitration treaties between * the United States and Great * Britain and the United States * and France were signed yester- * day. They will be sent at once * to the senate for ratification. * MET Itlillli: HERE Mr. Hoi* Ranch of Stewart Wedded to Miss Davis of Iowa on Wednesday On Wednesday evening In the parlor of the Prince Rupert Inn a pretty wedding was solemnized in the presence of a company of very close friends. The marriage was that of Mr. Bert T. Ranch of Stewart and -Miss Bertha M. Davis, who arrived on the Prince Rupert earlier in the day from Moqukity, Iowa. The groom is well known in the north as a mining man and is deservedly popular among a wide circle of friends. He is the locator of the Portland Wonder and Main Reef claims in the Stewart district. His bride made the trip from her old home in the United States to take up her home in Northern B. C. The guests included Mr. Harry Smith of Stewart, who, as a particular friend of Mr. Ranch's, acted as best, man. Miss Hossie Piercy attended the bride. There were also present: Mr. and Mrs. Sweet, Master Aubrey Sweet, Mrs. Henning, Mr. John Piercy and Miss Glady Piercy. Yesterday morning the bridal party left by the Prince Rupert for Stewart under the protecting eyes of Capt. Barney Johnson and Mr. Harry Smith. They will reside in Stewart. o OPENING CAMPAIGN LOCAL SITUATION Neither of Political Parties Has Yet Made Choice of Candidates in Riding Conventions Are Expected to Be Held by Both Conservatives and Literals Small Smithy on Seventh Street Prey to Explosion This Morning FLAGS ORDERED DOWN (Special lo The Journal) London, Aug. 4.—As a result of the protests from the citizens the Chairman Qf the decoration committee of the London Old Boys' Association yesterday ordered down all American flags in the street decorations. they add, "that we are signifying our willingness to negotiate an agreement with the United Mine Workers of America along the general suggested by the board in thhe majority report. This we understand to mean an absolute open shop with a • non-discrimination clause to be conceded to the operators; that we retain absolutely the management of the mines, and control all employees. We also understand that the increase in the day wages are to be based on the existing scale of day wages as provided in the last agreement between the United Mine Workers of America, District No. 16, and the Western Coal Operators' Asocla- tion." No One Was Hurt but Much Damage Resulted to Windows This morning residents in the business setcion were given an unwelcome surprise, when a small blacksmith shop used in connection with the rock cutting near the Central Hotel was blown up from the explosion of dynamite which happened to be in it. A fire is supposed to have started in some way near the powder but was noticed In time to allow the blacksmith to escape. The powder exploded with such force as to demolish the little building and broke the plate glass fronts for several hundred feet around. The Central Hotel, being close, suffered the most severely, having all the windows on Seventh street shattered. The old school house near at hand had a narrow escape from taking fire from embers being carried onto the roof. These were soon put out through the gathering of citizens and the firemen. Fortunately, no one was hurt, although it is difficult to imagine how all could escape, as many were close to the building at the time of the explosion. K'tsnmkalum Will Make Application to 4 Railway Commission For a Depot There Delegation From the Valley Is Now in the City on This Business VISITED LAKELSE S. Corley Has Returned From mi (luting in the Interior Valley S. Corley of the Royal Hotel returned from a trip made to the Lakelse valley. He Is more than ever impressed with the possibilities of that district from every standpoint, .he agricultural riches of the valley are difficult to overestimate. Mr. Corley brought with him a few cases of strawberries which have convinced his guests that he Is correct In his estimate of the district In that respect. Mr. Corley speaks highly of the roads being built by the government in that part of the province. When the work Is completed that has been begun there will be a way provided that will enable the settlers and visitors very easy access to the whole of the,valley. Part of the pay, where the road is now completed, there would be no difficulty in taking an auto over. The rest of it is being done equally well. A party of residents from Kitsum- kalum, including Mr. Weeks and Mr. Eby, are In the city. They are engaged preparing data to be presented before the railway commission when It sits here this month. Fred Peters, K. C, will represent the residents of that valley before the commission. The company is making application to have a station put in at that point. The residents state that they have been well treated by General Superintendent Mehan and the G.T.P. officials, who have given them a siding and accommodated them as well as possible, hut they desire a station to be built there in order to properly conduct all business for the future. Sir Wilfrid Will Address First Meeting in Favor of W. A. Charlton of Annexation Reputation The political situation in the riding of Comox-Atlin, owing to the immense area covered by it, has not assumed a campaign atmosphere owing to the fact that neither of the political parties has yet held its convention and selected its candidate. On the Conservative side the arrangements for the convention for the whole riding are now being carried out and the date and place for the gathering may be expected to be made at any time. When that is done the situation will be fully gone into for the purpose of making choice of a standard bearer, The Liberals likewise have not held any general voncention, and have promise of some little excitement when the meeting takes place. W. Sloan, formerly member for the constituency, it Is announced, is on his way from the Old Country, anxious to be the candidate and prepared to put up a fight for il in convention. He is not believed to be generally acceptable to the local Liberal Association, the members of which body desire to see Duncan Ross selected. Then, again, George Morrow is antagonistic to both of these candidates and will contest with them the chances of being the nominee of the convention with the avowed intention of contesting the seat whether he is turned down or not. For a long time Mr. Morrow has had decided differences with the party to which he belongs. He has contended that he was not properly treated locally, but at the same time does not, it is said, differ from Sir Wilfrid. He has accordingly "plowed his own furrow" in the party to a very great etenxt for the last few years. Changes in Cabinet Are to Be Made Hon. L. P. Borden Quits Politics for Bench SHIPPING RATES Board of Trade Takes Dp the Ours. tlon With u View to Securing Uniformity At the meeting of the Board of Trade a few evenings ago, the question of freight and express rules was raised by the chairman nnd the neek of taking some concerted action was advised. It was pointed out by several present that this was a long standing complaint, the chief objection being to the uncertainty as to what the charges were to be. This was due to the fact that the charges were made by weight and by measurement, with the result that tlie measurement varied very materially from time to time. Complaints have been frequent and the matter had been up from time to time, but It seemed so far impossible to get the matter properly fixed. It was urged that there should be a more uniform system adopted. The railway commission, It was pointed out, was not given power over this branch of traffic. The matter was referred to the council of the Board of Trade to take the necessary steps to have something done to right what was looked upon us vexation condition. (Special to The Journal) Ottawa, Aug. 4.—Sir Wilfrid Laurier will open the present campaign on August 15, at Simcoe, Norfolk County, where Hon. W. A. Charlton will run against the present Conservative member, D. McColl. The Liberals thus expect to redeem the riding. It will'serve also the ridings of Haldimand and East and West Elgin. Cabinet changes probably will be announced on Saturday, lion. L. P. Brodeur, minister of marine and fisheries, takes a position on the supreme court bench. Hon. R. i.c- niieux will take the portfolio of marine and fisheries and Dr. Belaud, representing Beaull, will become postmaster general. ADVERTISING PRINCE RUPERT Motion Pictures Are Being Taken by Expert in This City A PRETTY WEDDING Mr. Norman .Mackintosh anil Miss Angus, Late of Scotland Bound iu Weil lock A pretty wedding was solemnized al the lionie' of Captain and Mrs. Roberson when Mr. Norman Mackintosh of the Btaff ul' the News and .Miss Agnes Ithoila Angus were united in marriage. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. James of St, Andrew's Church, ihe immediate friends of the parties only being present. Mr. Mackintosh Is justly populat among a wide acquaintance and Is receiving the hearty congratulations of his friends. The bride, who is the daughter of Rev. James Angus of Stirling, Scotland, only recently arrived from the Old Land. Mr, and .Mrs. Mackintosh have taken up their residence on Seventh avenue. W. H. Harbeck, one of the most successful takers of motion pictures is now in this part of the country in pursuit of films which will be put on exhibition in various parts of the country. He reached here hy the Prince Rupert and at once joined Dr. Slo- 1'iini, who is assisting in the arrangements for securing photos. The Skeena River will be visited, as well as Alaska, the Queen Charlottes and parts of Alaska. On Wednesday Mr. Harbeck was engaged getting films of scenes about the harbor and the movements of the steamers of the G. T. P. Mr, Harbeck lias no superior in his chosen line. His pictures of scenery are unexcelled and are welcomed In all theatres In the land. Drowned From Vadso Last night J. Ilallcraii, a seaman on the steamer Vadso, fell overboard and was drowned. Chief Vickers was called and tne body recovered after about one hour's time. The ironer, J. II. McMullen, considered inne ■.- eery to Vile! any Inquest. Freighting Outfit B. !•'. Chnrleson, manager of thi Interior Forwarding and Express Company, arrived In town on Wednesday with Blxty-three mules and thirty pack and work horses. They came through from the Chllcotln country loaded as far as Fraser Lake, says the Omineca Herald. These horses he will now use In his pack trains and stngoa and freight wagons going oul of Hazelton. He lias three new stages ai Prince Itupert on their way up here and when they are In Bhape along with his wagons he win have six outfits working oul of Hazelton, with a total of 140 horses and mules. This will be one of the largest freighting outfits In Northern British Columbia, and It will do much to solve ihe transportation tee the' interior this fall and winter. There will be a great increase in freigeiting this year on account of the railway construction camps being east of the town instead of west as was ihe case last year. By fall practically all the camps will have' been moved pnst the new towns across Ihe Bulkley River. Gypsey Hamilton failed to appear loday to receive the Judgmenl of the police court.

NEW COAL MINES Opening Up Recently Discovered Seams in the Old Country Will Give Work. Doncaster District Is to Be Affected by tlie Development Which Is to Follow Good times are in store for the miner. If the signs of tne times are to be trusted, there is every likelihood in the near future of a boom in coal mining, such as we have not had for many a year. Indeed, ihe story of recent developments reads more like a Jules Verne romance than the record of ordinary business enterprise. The Barnsley bel of coal is noted throughout the business world. A line, rich seam some eight or nine feet thick, it was supposed to come to an end in tlie neighborhood of Coiiisborough, and for years no hopes ol' finding such another seam existed. The scientists, however, came forward, and succeeded in convincing the business man that this was a mistaken idea. They maintained that through some great upheaval of nature In prehistoric times the coal-bed had sunk to a deeper level but that it could most probably be located again between Barnsley and the eastern cost of Yorkshire. Much money, time and patience were expended. Borings were successfully sunk in various places uy different speculators, with the result that today we are faced with the prospect of a trade development in Yorkshire that will alter the face of the countryside. Within ten years' time 40,000 to 50,000 additional colliers will be at work in Yorkshire mines that have not yet been opened, and at the lowest estimate this means an increase of 150,000 in population of the broad-acred county. Though the principal development will take place in the Doncaster district, the whole country will be rapidly burrowed until a line of mines is in existence, extending to the boundaries of the city of Hull itself. Though in many instances it will be necessary to sink a shaft 1,000 yards deep, the thickness of the seam and the use of the most modern mining machinery will enable the proprietors to successfully compete with all comers, and to guarantee good profits and dividends for tlie capital invested. With a splendid railway system tapping the coalfield, and an enterprising port like Hull within easy reach, the prestige of Newcastle as a coal centre may be seriously threatened; in fact, there are optimists who prophecy that the saying, "carrying coals to Newcastle," will not seem so ridiculous as it has done in years gone by. Some of the coalpits in this district of Doncaster, started during the past few years, already hold the world s record for out the weekly output, and the visitor has the opportunity of examining tlie finest plant in tlie world. Colliery workers not only of Yorkshire, but of all parts of England, and villages that are of an insani tary character, and we must remember that to pull down is only half of the solution." His grace dealt at length with the conditions existing in mining villages, and it cannot be gainsaid that unless some sane and satisfactory housing arrangements are made to cope with an influx of population attracted by the opportunities of getting work in the coalpits we shall have a shocking state of affairs brought into existence. In building bouses for the miner and his family it is to be hoped that more nouses" and fewer "dwellings" will be designed, Land is cheap in the district, and there is no reason to skimp the room or to build long, dreary rows of depressing brick boxes with slate Mils. The miner is naturally passionately fond of gardening. With a little foresight in planning the new homesteads, villages and towns all possibility of furtnre overcrowding slums is prevented. Many colliery compauies today are PUBLIC HIGHWAYS Province of British Columbia NOTICE is hereby given that all Public Highways in unorganized Districts, and all Main Trunk Roads in organized Districts are sixty-six feet wide, and have a width of thirty- three feet on each side of the mean stralghi centre line of the travelled road.

But the coal owner cannot be expected to completely shoulder the burdens of the Empire, and as the archbishop of York has hinted, this problem of house hunger is a national concern, and dse- serves national consideration. Should the solution be found in the Yorkshire coalfields, then the coming trade booms will have lost all its terrors, and Yorkshire can lookfonward to a long spell of flourishing prosperity in business circles and satisfied contentment among the workers. onlv and for no other purpose ROBT. A. RENWICK, Deputy Minister of Lands. Department of Lands, Victoria, B. C, April 5th, 1911. 4-14—7-5 SUQUASH COAL Alert Bay, on Cormorant Island, off Vancouver Island, has been made coaling station for northbound steamers. C. C. Mitchener of the Pacific Coast Coal Company, operating at Suquash, is ready to meet the supply needed hy steamers after completing arrangements. The coal will be taken by scow from the Su- quash mines to Alert Bay, and the steamers which call there will be coaled from the scows. Mr. Michener says the development work at the Suquash mines has now reached a stage whereby with two shifts 600 tons per days can be taken out. Mr. Michener says the company which he represents has sent 900 tons of coal from Boat Harbor to Vancouver for the United States cruiser West Virginia, which has been sent there to make tests of Vancouver Island coal. Similar shipments are being sent from the other island mines and the United States cruiser will make a thorough test. Meanwhile, the Wash ington mines are placing shipments on board the United States cruiser Colorado at Seattle for test purposes. The United States government has been bringing coal by steam freighters at much expense from the Atlantic Coast for the Pacific Coast naval stations, and it has been decided to make thorough tests of the coal of this coast with a view to supplying the naval craft in the Pacific.

The speechs of those interested in the move in Vancouver give no uncertainty as to the evident intention to get an advantage over this northern port. We reel satisfied that the premier of the province, having the interests of the whole province at hear rather than any particular portion of ii, will carefully weigh the interests of Prince Rupert before acting along the lines suggested, .ns attention should be drawn to the situation as early as possible. RAILWAY PROM VANCOUVER The movement which has been started In Vancouver for a railway to the north is being taken up readily by the various cities of the south. The promoters of the scheme, namely the business interests of Vancouver, are now throwing aside all attempts tu conceal the real object of the movement, which is to offset Prince Rupert in securing the trade with the interior. At a recent meeting held in New Westminster, when the Vancouver delegation met the business men ot that city and urged joint action, F. Carter-Cotton, formerly a member of the provincial government, devoted himself in no small measure to showing that the country sought to be Invaded by a line of railway running north from Vancouver to the line of the G. T. P. would bring the territory referred to closeer to the sea at Vancouver than at Prince Rupert. "Unless something is done they would not only lase any new markets, but they also stood to lose markets which already had, such as Cariboo. Ashcroft might not always attract the Cariboo business," Mr. Cotton is reported to have said. Further, Mr. Cotton is reported to have said: "If people pressed the matter on the government he thought the government would see that it .vas a good business proposition." A. G. McCandless at the meeting stated that "with the completion of the G. T. P. the northern transcontinental line would capture of the trade of Northern Q. C." \V. II. Malkin pointed out that "between Fort George and Fort MacLeod there were 30,000,000 acres of wheat, lands. The grain from this territory could be shipped out here (Vancouver and New Westminster) as a port open all the year round. They would have to get the provincial government to guarantee bonds." With a strong resolution, backed up by Boards of Trade and other bodies in the south, the provincial government is being asked to guarantee the bonds of a line of railway to tap the northern areas referred to and draw the trade to the southern ports. To Prince Rupert, this trade naturally belongs, as we have before referred. It is up to Prince Rupert to take the best steps possible to offset the move now made, it may be urged that it is a selfish view to take of the situation hut it is equally selfish the way the south regards the situation. Prine-e Rupert's interests will not be taken care of it' an effort is nol made on behalf of the city tei protect Itself. The elevators and warehouses which the members of the Vancouver Board of Trade depict as about to be erected as a result of the connection which they seek would be equally possible here if that connection Is not given the south at once but is allowed to flow this way. Tlie matter is something the Board of Trade here might well take steps to checkmate. If deenieden ecesary, the provincial government might be petitioned in the matter and asked to look well to Prince Rupert's interests In tliis connection before undertaking anything along the line suggested by the soutli. ir considered of sufficient urgency it might be wise to send word to .Mayor Man- son, who Is now on his way soutli, asking liini to put in a preliminary protest from the Board of Trade to Premier McBride and ask that no t News of the Province % *. .. -: PRIZE WINNING HERD NEW WESTMINSTER—Manitoba newspapers and livestock journals reaching the coast during the past few days record—inthelr eulogistic references to the stock ring display ai the great Winnipeg exhibition—a veritable and complete triumph for the blooded aristocrats from the model farm at the Coquitlani Retreat for the Insane, which famous herd it is part of Dr. Young's well considered scheme to make of infinite value to provincial stock raisers in the improvement of the standard of their herds. The herd at Regina, In competition with the very best herds of the American continent duplicated the record at Winnipeg. DEATH OF JIKS. FRASER QUESNEL—The news of the death of Mrs. J. A. Fraser in Vancouver has caused the deepest regret beret. Mr. Eraser, who left hurriedly for Vancouver on receipt, of a telegram informing him or her serious illness, did not reach her bedside before death came, although he had made a very fast trip. Death was due to heart failure. The deceased had been troubled oftentimes with neuralgia of the lining of the heart. More re- cently she had suffered especially from nervous trouble. Early in life a severe fall from a street car had made the prospect of her being able to walk again unlikely. Since then she had had operations at different times; so that during the course of her life she had sufefred much. Mrs. Eraser's maiden name was Ursula C. C. Smith. . She was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and came to Cariboo in the early nineties. She was at first engaged as governess at Cottonwood House. About sixteen years ago she became the wife of John A. Fraser, at. that time manager of the Reid estate. SPORTS CORINTHIANS COMING When that ocean greyhound, the Empress of Britain, plows her majestic way across the Atlantic, and docks at Quebec in the course of a couple of week or so there will disembark that famous combination of association footballers, the London Corinthians, and cables tell us that that it is one of tlie greatest aggregations of amateur footballers that has ever left the shores of the tight little isle ayont the seas. A glance at the names of the players who will make up the team certainly conveys this impression, for many renowned teams, both amateur and professional, have left the Motherland within recent years for foreign parts, but somehow or other Canada seems to have been sidetracked and hasn't got her proper share of tlie good things along this line, notwithstanding tlie fact that Canada is Britain's nearest possession, and that there are probably more Old Country people in the Dominion than all the oilier colonies combined. Be that as it may, however, the anticipation nf the tans or the past six months Will soon be a realization. The tour ot the Corinthians will begin at Toronto on August 5 with a game with the newly tormed Big Four League at the Island Stadium, Toronto and before their itinerary is completed the tourists will have traveled some 10,000 miles in Canada and the United States, and played something like twenty games in a little over two months. The Corinthians second game will be against Toronto and District League on that city civic holiday, August 7, and on the following Wednesday, August 9, the amateurs are due in Hamilton. From Hamilton the team will go to Montreal, Co- halt, Fort William, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Prince Albert, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, Victoria Fernie, Chicago, Philadelphia, Newark, New York, Fall River, etc. In Cobalt and Fort William public holidays have been declared in honor of the visitors, and other western cities are following suit. They are due In Vancouver the latter part of August. The Corinthians toured Spain this spring, tlie amateurs putting on cricket scores against the Spaniards. The Corinthian team will consist of such renowned athletes as: G. G. Newman, goal; F. N. Tuff and I. E. Snell of Oxford, backs; W. T. Tim- mins (English International), H. G, Howell Jones, M. Morgan Owen I Wels Internationals), R. G. Thompson, P. A. Sergeant, R. M. Weeks and R. R. Bradell (the famous sprinter), half backs; S. H. Day (English International), C. E. Brisley, I). O. Corbett, Al Corbett and G. C. Vassall (all English Internationals). R. C. Maniples, H. C. Bache (the Cambridge captain) and L. Becker- steet, son of the well known bishop of that ilk, and also skipper of the Oxford Blues, will compete in the forward line. The team will be in charge of C. Wreford-Brown, president of the Corinthian Club. Alex. Faulds, M.E., came from up the Skeena last evening and went south this morning. o Duncan Ross arrived from Hazelton last night on his way south. o • TO VISIT COAST Arrangements Made for Geologists Who Attend Congress in 11)13 to Come to This Part In connection with the International Geological Congress to be held in Canada in 1913, a series of excursions for the delegates has been arranged to allow visits to the various mining sections of the country. They will include visits to the Pacific Coast. The arrangements as they affect the northern part of the coast have been arranged as follows: Toronto to Vancouver, via C. P. R., C. N. R., G. T. R. and C. P. R.— Toronto to Edmonton. Excursions en route, Lake Agassiz, Lake Winni- pegosis. Edmonton to Yellowhead Pass. Edmonton to Banff excursions. BaiiTf to Glacier excursion. Glacier to Vancouver, fifteen days. Leaders, Messrs. McEvoy, Tyrrell, Dowling and Coleman. Alaska Yukon Excursion—This excursion would leave Vancouver after the three parties sent across the continent by different routes had all reached the coast. The route would be from Vancouver to Skagway by steamer, Skagway to Whitehorse by rail, and White- horse to Dawson by river steamer. A short visit to the copper and iron deposits on Texada Island, and a trip up Portland Canal to Stewart. This canal or fiord cuts completely through the coast range and an opportunity would be afforded for studying the still unsettled question of fiord origin. The mineral deposits and glaciers of the Portland Canal district are also worth visiting. From Skagway part of the Lewis River valley Is followed down to Whitehorse. The glacial features of the valley are very interesting.

WILL NOT RUN NEW WESTMINSTER—Following hard upon the announcement from Ottawa of the dissolution or parliament and the Hxing of the polling date for the general election on September 21 came one or much interest In local political circles. J. W. Weart, reeve of Burnaby, vvho was nominated on April 21 at a convention of the Liberals of New Westminster constituency, as the party standard bearer In the next federal contest, has, in a letter to the president of the City Liberal Association, Geo. Kennedy, notified his party associates that he will not. be able to contest the seat of the sitting member, J. D. Taylor. Mr. Weart gives as the reason for this decision on the eve of the opening of the contest that the pressure ot business engagements stands in the way ot his giving the time necessary to the fight for reciprocity. At the local convention, when Mr. Weart became the choice of the party, his supporters The British Columbia Company LIMITED.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL MAKE CHEAP GAS Plant to be Established in Vancouver to Manufacture Small Equipments Under New Process Inventor With Works Elsewhere Hus Decided to Locate on This Coast With instructions left for his local agent to start without delay upon his plans for the construction of a manufacturing plant for his gas machines, L. B. de Laitte, tbe prominent French inventor, departed from Vancouver a few days ago for Calgary, en route to Chicago, where he will inspect his factory at that place before proceeding lo France. Mr. de Laitte will spend but little time in France, for he expects to visit his various European factories before sailing for Australia, during the Iat.- ter part of the year. He will return to Vancouver from the Antipodes in March, 1912, by which time he expects his local factory will have been completed and in working order. "I am more than satisfied with the success with which 1 met while in British Columbia, and I feel certain that my determination to make this my manufacturing centre for Canada will prove a wise choice. British Columbia is the busiest province of thet Dominion.' The idea of Mr. de Laitte's invention Is the automatic production of gas; in other words, whereas heretofore municipalities had to maintain costly gas plants, or pay expensive tributes to operating companies, communities will now be enabled to install a gas-producing apparatus that will work automatically and which will require no attendants to lock after it. Wliere now the average charge for gas service is $1.36 per 1,00 cubic feet, the de Laitte gas machine will produce the same amount for 50 cents. A house of twenty rooms, burning lights In every room, and maintaining radiators In every room, besides running an engine, a milk cleaner, an Ice making machine, a vacuum cleaner, a butter making machine, cooking stove, laundry, two incubators, and five flatirons, will not require more than thirteen cents' worth of gas per hour to operate all the enumerated necessities and devices, and proprotionately less If all are not working at the same time. "A small town may be able to in stall a perfect gas lighting system of my design for $.1,000 which will equal in efficiency and size the usual $100,000 plant of the carbonating gas companies," explained Mr. det Laitte. "i came here for the express purpose of looking over the field and before making any definite arrangements, and 1 am so satisfied with local conditions, as I find them, that 1 have decided upon Vancouver as my manufacturing centre for Canada I have already a large plant In Chicago and a financial syndicate in Montreal, besides factories in Gere- many, France, London, and Sydney, N. S. W., and while I have as yet no plant in this city 1 have already rush orders for 260 gas machines for Vancouver, besides .numerous other orders for places in Alberta. Canada is a place which every manufacturer of a commodity must reckon with, and Vancouver is, in my opinion, the best field for the establishment of a manufacturing plant." STOCK WIDELY HELD Wliere the Shareholders of Canadian Railway Companies Arc Located Ihe stock of the Canadian Pacific Railroad Company Is probably the most widely held of any American load, with the exception of the Pennsylvania, which recently reported 64,SOU shareholders. There Is considerable difficulty In learning the number of shareholders of the Canadian railroads and in what countries the stock is held. Sir Thomas Shaughnessy has stated that the total number of Canadian. Pai'ific shareholders is about 24,000, the number of Canadian holders being f;,500. Nearly all the 4 per cent preference stock is held in Great Britain. Of the common .stock, holders in Great Britain have approximately 65 per cent, 15 per cent being held on the Continent, while the remaining 20 per cent Is divided evenly between Canada and the United States. Grand Trunk shares are held by 54,200 persons, against 52,900 a year ago. This puts the Grand Trunk second only to the Pennsylvania Railroad, which has 64,869 shareholders. The Grand Trunk has £22,474,992 common and £23,173,632 preferred, nnd, as Is well known, Ihe shares are almost eclusivexly held in England. Charles M. Hays, president of the Grand Trunk, states that from 75 to 90 per cent of that road's shareholders are residents in Great Britain. Ninety^eight per cent of the securities of the Canadian Northern Railway are held in the United Kingdom. Mr. Brunner, of the Brunner banking house, Brussels, twenty-five years ago first interested Belgian capital in Canada in the shape of Investments in Canadian Pacific Railroad stock. At that time, as he says, he experienced great difficulty in convincing his countrymen that the Dominion was more than a wild stretch of ice and snow and the Canadian Pacific something more than a fantasy. In those days Canadian Pacific Railroad was selling at 58. Belgian investors, therefore, have no reason to regret their confidence in this Canadian enterprise. Mr. Brun- ner's clients have invested several millions of dollars in other Canadian- owned securities, more especially Sao Paulo, Rio, and Mexican railroads. German capital has become interested to a small extent in the Canadian Northern enterprise, and is likely to become further interested In the near future.

PULLMANS WERE NOT POUPLAR Who the First Pullman Conductor Was and Hon the Cars Were Operated It isn't generally known, points out the Kansas City Star, but it is a fact, neverthe'ess, that Colonel J. L, Barnes, for nearly a third of a century superintendent of the Southern Kansas division of the Sante Fe, was the first Pullman conductor in the world. While in a reminiscent mood recently the colonel told of his experiences as the first Pullman conductor: "In 1858, George M.

TITE Complete House Furnisher THIRD AVENUE HANDLING HARVEST Arrangements That Have to be Made to get grain to the Markets of World. The Hunks Have to lie Prepared to Meet the Heavy Costs Involved One of the great financial problems with which aCnada is confronted is the financing of the harvest, which promises to be greater than it has ever been in the past, says the .Montreal Herald. A country with a harvest such as Cauda expects to put on the market this year needs a very considerable volume of currency to meet the demands upon it. The necessity for getting the larger part of the crop moved into the consuming centres before the close of navigation is pretty fully realized. This is the principal work that keeps three transcontinental railways busy in the autum.i. The Canadian banking system has been specially designed to meet such a conditions as will [shortly manifest '.' eel'. Tiie right ol note issue equal eu tlie paid-up capital is accorded the chartered banks without any requirement of reserve, confidence being placed in each banking company's appreciation of the need of retaining absolute trust and keeping « 11 within the liinils of safety. There Is, indeed beyond this a provision for an emergency issue to be retired within a specified time should tlie. necessity for it occur, The Dominion makes no charge for Ihis privilege of note issue further than the requirement that a large proportion of hank reserves be held in Dominion legal tender redeemable notes. When the west makes a very great demand for its crop movements ii may mean withdrawal hy the banks of a considerable amount of accommodation from the ordinary trade channels. Only once, In the year 1906, a great crop year, was there any difficulty In meeting' the e'illation, it is rem inhered that in that year men of standing with per- t'eetly sound contracts even from school boards and municipalities were obliged in throw thein up through failure to get ihe banking accommodation they required. Since that year Canada has grown, the west has grown, and the banks have grown. Let us glance at the changed situation. In the Canadian West there are 357,000,000 acres of land known to be capable of producing wheat and other cereals. Five years ago less than 5,000,000 acres had been sown with wheat, and the total cultivated land for all purposes did not exceed 10,000,000 acres. This season of 1911, 10,200,000 acres have been sowii with wheat 4,078,000 with oats, 1,150,000 with barley, and 751,822 acres with flax — a total in grain crops alone of 16,779,822 acres; the acreage in roots and cultivated grasses is 203,491 acres—a grand total under cultivation of 17,- 043,317 acres. The acreage under cultivation has therefore increased rapidly, more especially in view of the sparse population; but comparison should be made With the land still to be cultivated—nearly 340,000,000 acres. .Notwithstanding this small area of cultivated wheat land, in comparison with the possible whole, the wheat crop of tlie Canadian Wesl. Is admitted to be one of the leading factors in tho world's markets for breakstuffs. It is the best hard spring wheal in tbe world and there- line the most valuable for mixing with the Inferior wheats, The presenl season Is one of greal promise, and, If fulfilled, the Canadian West with have for shipment oul of the country, it is claimed, ut least 160,- ,000 bushels of wheat, besides 15,0011,1)11(1 bushels ul' oats, 12,200,- 000 bushels or barley, and 7,786,000 bushels of flax. Five years ago the exportable surplus of wheal was 65,- 849,940 bushels, while oats and flax were not exported to any great extent. The value of the wheat crop five years ago was $67,711,299; for 1910 it was approximately $91,350,-000 1 final returns are not yet In). At the price of October wheat on .lune 15 the crop now growing, if reaped under favorable conditions, will represent a value of $176,500,000, that is, 200,000,000 bushels at SS 1-4 cents. For the handling of the wheat crop millions of dollars are annually distributed to country branches of the great chartered banks, which form a complete network over the three wheat producing provinces. To store and move the wheat crop in the west is a gigantic task, and involves an enormous amount of capital. It is estimated that at least 00 per cent of the crop should be moved to the eastern terminals and seaboard before inland navigation closes for the year. Five years ago it required 47,000 cars to move this proportion; this year it is estimated that 145,084 cars will be required, and niat each car will travel an average of 75U miles after it is loaded before it reaches the head of the Great Lakes. These figures give some idea of the investment of the railways in rolling stock for the movement of wheat alone. There are 1,870 elevators in the prairie provinces, with a total storage capacity of 59,227,300 bushels, representing an investment of $15,- 991,371 for buildings alone. At the head of tho lakes there is a storage capacity of 25,700,400 bushels, which cost $9,196,140 to erect. The investment, therefore, for interior and lake terminal storage is $25,- 187,511. To this must he added the costly equipment at Montreal where there is 3,000,000 bushels of storage capacity and five miles of conveyor belts, making il possible to load fourteen vessels without their moving from their original berths. The growing or wheat In the prairie provinces has not been without, its drawbacks, but in I lie thlrty- elglit years it lias been carried on, it may be remembered with comfort, ileal there' has never been a tolal failure of crop, There are elements ni' chance In wheat growing as there are iii every oilier business, but Ihe farmer who has cultivated faithfully, sown carefully, reaped diligently; lias never lacked bread and seed and something for profit. In the grain bolt, which is, roughly, 850 miles long and 450 to 500 miles wide, It is not possible to hope for Ideal conditions over the entire area every year, but no wheat growing country In the world has a finer record for uniform production than the Canadian West. It will be seen the situation presents certain features of a more stupendous character than have ever been faced before. There Is no reason to doubt that the banks which have likewise developed will be able to serve the west and the east efficiently In a time of abnormal pressure when the pressure means prosperity. The institutions are in the hands of men of ripe experience and sound judgment, who realize the re sponsibility and importance of their part in sustaining tne country's commerce and industry. ROCHER DE BOULE Property on This Mountain in Hazelton District Gives Good Promise Since the story appeared the early part of last September about the big strike made on Rocher de Boule by Messrs. Sergeant and Munro, the property has been turned over to Messrs Trimble and Pemberton, says the Omineca Herald. At that time little was known of the property, but it was enough to satisfy the new owners that it was worth going after. This spring, or about six or seven weeks ago, Messrs. Trimble nnd Pemberton took men out and work has been going on steadily. A new trail cuts the distance from the Skeena to the property by half has been cut over the ridge and through the divide down into the camp. This is about five miles from the sawmill. In addition, a great deal of work has been done towards uncovering and proving the mineral. A gang of eleven men are employed. They have uncovered an Sffoot vein for a distance of 500 feet, while the lead can be traced for a distance of a mile and a half. The big thing in I lie camp is blue copper which will run over 30 per cent pure copper. As yet no assays have been made this spring but this week Mr. Pemberton has been gathering samples from every place where work has been done and will have them assayed. The result will be watched with keen interest. Last fall one sample that was asayed gave returns of $97 in gold, silver and copper. This Is one of the youngest camps in the district but there is a great amount of work being done and before the season is over Rocher det Boule will be attracting as much, if not more attention than any other camp. As one well known authority remarked when he visited the property: "This is no ordinary find; It is something extrordinary." Work will proceed on these claims all summer. The owners are getting In 1,600 pounds of supples from below and two tons from Hazelton to keep them going until September. KITCHENER IX EGYPT Job Printing of all kinds neatly executed at the Journal Office. The Mail and Empire thinks that Lord Kitchener's appointment to Egypt foreshadows a change of policy and discusses the matter as follows: Under the pro-consulship of Sir Eldon Gorst, the Nationalist movement made headway, although in the last year or so of his administration Sir Eldon seemed to abandon his earlier academic Liberal theories, and reverted more to those of his great predecessor, Lord Cromer. His last report was frank In his statement of opinion that the Egyptians are unfit for self-government. It was upon this fundamental idea that much of Lord Cromer's success was laid; and it is upon this idea, too that Lord Kitchener's policy will be based. But whatever convictions Lord Kitchener may have on the Egyptian question, it is certain that they are not mere theories, but are the result of long experience of the Egyptian people. It will be recalled that it was In Egypt that Lord Kitchener, then an obscrue junior officer, got his first chance, and that it was his knowledge of the people and of ♦he country that fitted him lo take advantage of it. Since that day he has never looked back,, but .has inarched forward steadily from one responsibility to another, until the great wheel of events brings him again to tlie country wliere his career began. In those years in India and South Africa lie did not forget Egypt, nor have the Egyptians forgotten him. In Ihe army tlie name of the great Sirdar Is still toasted and his portrait saluted. The troops remember the man who made them tbe formidable fighting machines they now are. The whole people recall his striking proof of interest in the country that found expression in the Gordon Memorial University at Khartoum. He returns to them, not as a stranger, but as an old friend, as the one living Englishman whose name is known from Khartoum to Cairo, and is as familiar to the fellaheen as to the crowds in London. Lord Kitchenr's knowledge of Egypt and Egypt's knowledge of Lord Kitchener are in themselves reasons enough for his selection as successor to Sir Eldon Gorst. There Is another strong reason. Lord Kitchener Is probably the greatest military man In the Empire, and there are indications that It Is In Northern Africa that our chief military authority should be. The Near Eastern ques tion is today the gravest promblem in foreign politics. The position of England's close friend. France, Is none too secure in Morocco, and for years to come the status of the European powers along the Mediterranean will be unsettled. In Egypt itsself the Nationalists constitute a menace, unless sternly dealt with, while their friends in England among the Socialists represent an even stronger danger to Bgyption peace. In the settling of all the problems England will be well represented by Lord Kitchener, who is not the man to have accepted the post of agent- general unless he had a free hand. Hhis appointment is a credit to the Britisii government. TOURIST ...l'AGK The McMillan Transfer Company at Stewart has commenced running a four-in-hand stage from the wharf to the concentrator in connection with the arrival of the urand Trunk Pacific boats on Thursday and Sunday. As this steamship company Is developing the tourist traffic it has been felt that many visitors would take advantage of a trip through the town and up the Bear River valley If a proper conveyance was to be had. To meet the demand tho transfer company has put on its stage. Tlie route from the wharf is down the approach to Fifth, along this street to Columbia, tlience nortli to Ninth past, the general hospital to the railway depot and on out to Glacier Creek, making the turn at the concentrator, where visitors, through the courtesy of Manager W. .1. Elmen- dorf, will be permitted to inspect the big plant. Returning after passing the bridge the route is through the •Mann townsite to Fourth, west along that street to Brithwell, up Bright- well to Fifth, thence west to the approach. Visitors will be given a ten mile scenic drive, ample time to visit the stores on returning and be landed back at the boat for dinner. Uncle Hiram stroked his whiskers and watched the big touring car as it whizzed past him and up the road, emitting a trail of bluish smoke from Its oil-choked engine. "Huh!" he sniffed. "Tney may be swell city fel'ers, but they certainly was a-smokin' some durn orful cigars." !&{£■ . F *» n Friday, August 4, 1911. PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Ir**************************************************** * * I Outlook for Reciprocity f * * ***************************************************** The government professes to welcome the prospects of an early election, says ah Ottawa letter. They claim that the force of the Bourassa wave has spent itself in the province of Quebec and tat Laurier will again receive from that province a big majority. In deed, the hopes of the government are centred upon Quebec and It Is practically admitted that outside of that province the Conservatives will have a fair majority. The final result of the next election will largely depend on what gains the Conservatives can make in the province of Ontario. Ontario has been appropriately called the workshop of e.he Dominion and with the "white coal" of Niagara adeiud to her other sources of power this province bids fair to become one of the great manufacturing centres of the world. Nearly every city and town in Ontario has been built up especially during the last ten years by the foundation and increase of manufacturing enterprises. The great American manufacturers have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in branch plants throughout the province. Hence there is every reason to believe that Ontario will vote overwhelmingly for a continuance of the national policy. Not only have the Ontario towns and cities benefitted but the farmers have prospered amazingly by the largely increased purchasing power of their home market. Few Ontario farmers have far to go In order to find a profitable and generous market for their products. Along the border many agricultural products are higher in, Canada than they are In the United States. Upon the reciprocity issue alone there is no doubt but that the people of Ontario are overwhelmingly in favor of the Conservative party. Opposition to reciprocity, however, will not be the only factor against the government in the approaching campaign. The government would be glad, indeed, to have its past record forgotten and to have a mere plebiscite upon some question like reciprocity, concerning which honest and patriotic men may differ in opinion. Any issue, indeed, would be welcomed by the prime minister and his followers upon which it is possible to divide honest men. The statement is often heard that no government can ever be put out of power because of graft or corruption. It is true that in 1908 the Laurier government managed to hold office although scandalous maladministration of the public funds had been proved against it. But it must also be remembered that Sir Wilfrid Laurier in 1908 made a pathetic appeal to the people. He said in effect that he was an old man on the brink' of the grave and that he did not like to have his [>ublic career ended by a popular verdict to the effect that his government had been a corrupt one. He said he would only ask one more term and ask that for the purpose of cleansing the public service. His prayer was answered but no one has yet heard of the promised house cleaning. No corrupt official has been brought to justice and no stolen money has been returned to the treasury. The prime minister has apparently made no effort to Implement his promise. It is marvelous that he should be so audacious as to appeal for another term when he has not kept a single pledge on the strength of which he obtained his present term of office. It is no wonder that he wants to talk reciprocity. If he has nothing else to talk" about he would talk about the weather rather than discuss his speeches and promises of 1908. It is curious to observe how little respect Sir Wilfrid Laurier has for the Intelligence of the people of Can- ada. He seems to believe, perhaps he has reason for believing, that the Canadian people like to be humbugged, P. T. Barnum said the American people wanted to be humbugged and he certainly catered to the popular taste in this regard. One year he would whitewash an elephant and advertise it as a white elephant from Slam. The next year he would produce a woolly horse. Every year there was some startling novelty which attracted the people and If anybody complained of being fooled he was laughed at for his pains. Peo- ule knew Barnum was going to fool them but they turned out every summer to see the woolly horse, the wild man, the three legged calf or the bearded lady as the case might be. Sir Wilfrid has been emulating the example of the great showman. Jie has some national ability to begin with, being a skillful tightrope performer and a clean skater. But he does not rely entirely upon his own ability; he continually pliant or woolly horse variety. One year he will come back from England and say that he has just saved Canada from being swallowed alive by the Britisii lion. This announcement made on landing elicits great applause. The people suppose there must be something in it because the prime minister has been in England and they have not been there. After a little inquiry and investigation, however, they find that the whole story Is a fake, that no Britisii lion or any other Hon was trying to swallow Canada or even to fake a bite out of her and they na.'-rally make up their minds tha': th jy have been humbugged. The ne:;* year, however, Laurier's tliree ringed circus starts out again but this time there is another attraction. Nothing!, is said about the British lion but the people are told that Canada has made a treaty with France, the first and only one of the kind, and the great benefits are to fall upon the Canadian people. Well, the people get the treaty after a while and sure enough they find wheat, oats, barley, horses, cows and other farm products are admitted Into France subject only to the minimum duty. They are highly delighted and commence to think what they are going to do with all the money they are to get from France. But on further examination they find that on all these products the French maximum and minimum are really the same, probably about 250 per cent, 'lnis time they are sure they will never again get fooled by Laurier but the next year it is the United States or some other woolly horse which looks alright on the billcards but is a transparent fake when viewed near at hanu. One reason for bringing on reciprocity was to get rid of the naval issue. The navy made the government unpopular in Quebec and ridiculous in the English speaking provinces. It is a great navy but It will be a greater one before we are done with it. Those who know such matters must be amused at the government's estimate of $15,000,000 as the cost of an entire navy. Not long ago New Zealand presented what was called her Dreadnought to the Imperial navy. It is in fact an armored cruiser of the first class and not a Dreadnought at all. But this one ship cost nearly $9,000,000. We are told that here six armored vessels can be built and a flotilla of smaller vessels at an aggregate cost of $15 00,000. An efficient navy for Canada could not cost less than $150,000,000. Either the govern ment does not Intend to make our Canadian navy of any use to the Imperial fleet or it is deceiving the people by talking about a $15,000,- 000 navy. Sir Wilfrid at the Imperial Conference caused it to be understood that on his motion Canada had been given complete control of her navy to the exclusion of the British admiralty. The fact is that the British government had this resolution passed because the Britisii naval authorities did not want to be lumbered up with or become responsible for the junk that might be turned out by the Sorel shipyard or contractors in favor with the marine and navy department. At least one British firm was represented to have stated that there was no doing business with the Canadian government unless big funds were contributed to the Liberal party campaign fund. BRINGS GERMAN GOLD financiers of Fatlierlaiiil Send $5,000,000 to This Province Through Mr. Alvensleben With $5,000,000 of German capital secured for British Columbia, and especially Vancouver enterprises, to his credit, Mr. Alvo von Alvensleben is again at his desk in the Pacific Building, after a flying trip to Berlin, Paris and London, where he went in the role of the modern Argonaut in quest for Old World gold, says the News-Advertiser. "German capital Is most enthusiastic over Canadian investments," said Mr. von Alvensleben In discussing the European financial situation as found by him during his four months' trip abroad. "The financiers of the Fatherland, more than any others, rea"ze with praiseworthy foresight the great significance and relative Influence to British Columbia of the Panama Canal, and they are therefore quite willing to send their money to a place In which It will find n safe and highly profitable place for Investment.

Wherever I went I found Geran capital ready to pour into British Columbia and while I secured $5,000,000 for Immediate investment in industrial and commercial enterprises in this city and province, twenty times that much will follow before another year has passed. German financiers have been remarkably fortunate in their transac- 'ons and they are now in a position where they are looking for new worlds to conquer. Canada Attracts Them "Immigration of capital is usually followed by Immigration of Individuals, and where the United States was formerly the paradise for those seeking a new out let for their energies, Camilla Is now taking first rank as the 'promised land.' But there is quite an interest in Canada shown by the people of the Dual Monarchy, Austria-Hungary. "While no country encourages emigration, Austria at least has not placed such stringent regulations in the path of the emigrant as others, and Hungarians, particularly, are inclined to stray away from home— for a time only. And here is where the rub conies In. Hungarians are persons who are extremely fond of their own country, but prevailing economic conditions make it desirable for them to go away and find new fields. They go to Africa and they go to the United States, but they very seldom settle there, for they usually return to their native home within six years with their accumulated savings, and therefore they cannot he regarded as very desirable Immigrants.

A large number of towns and cities in Ontario are purchasing electricity from the Hydro-Electric Commission of that province. The following shows the estimated maximum cost to some of these cities according to the last report of the commission: H.P Est. City— Applied for Max. Cost Toronto 10,000 $25.20 London 5,000 35.18 Gtielph 2,500 36.10 Stratford .... 1,000 43.90 Woodstock . . . 1,200 34.27 Berlin 1,000 36.10 and several others at similar rates. In comparison to these prices, the schedule submitted by the Tsimpsean company seems reasonable enough. Other rates charged are: Fort William—Lighting,. 7%c; power, $25 per H.P. per year. Port Arthur—Lighting, 6 to 10c. Sault Ste. Marie—Lighting, 5 to 10c; power, $50. Peterboro—Lighting 10c; power, $20 to $40. Kingston—Lighting 12 *J4c; power, Sc. The price of $34 per H.P. year submitted by the company for a quantity ranging from 300 to 500 H.P. figures out at 1 and 7-10c per K.W. hour, assuming a load factor of 23 per cent and also a 24 hour day, which is justifiable in the case of the city inasmuch as it will be supplying small power customers during the day and all the lighting during the night. It will cost the city to distribute about 3 55-100c more, making the total cost delivered about 5 25-100c per K. W. hour. Time of Contract ' The next point which the committee considered was the length of time which the company set forth for the proposed agreement. We may be obliged to pay more for power in the future if a reasonable price is not fixed upon from the start with some reliable company for a fairly long term of years, since if an agreement is reached for only a short time, there would be nothing to prevent a company from advancing its prices at the end of that time if it proved that this company had a cinch on the hydro-electric power around Prince Rupert. We expect within the next five or ten years to see numerous Industries established here requiring power, and if it is true, and it probably is, that the Tsimpsean company has nearly all the water power in this vicinity corralled, such concerns would be in a bad position if only a short term agreement were made, since they would be in some cases probably only just commencing to earn and could hardly avoid being compelled to pay an increased price should the power company so demand. They would probably much prefer a guaranteed reasonable rate for a long term, for they would then know upon what to depend. The longer the agreement, the cheaper the rates that may be reasonably e-x pected. In the tentative agreement set forth by the company, the city Is asked not only to purchase all power required for lighting throughout the city, but also to purchase from the company all electricity required by small consumers up to 5 H.P. Nothing is said of amounts between 5 and 10 H.P. This may, however, bo a clerical error. Further on in the aforesaid tentative agreement, the company states that it does not ask for any exclusive rights, but If the city agrees to the power clause mentioned above, exclusive rights are practically guaranteed the Tsimpsean company, since any electric company is largely dependent on small consumers. Your committee would recommend that that part of the agreement referred to above, viz. that the city purchase from the Tsimpsean company all less than 5 H.P., be struck out, and it should be further agreed upon that the company may not charge more than $45 per H.P. to any customer. And your committee also recommends that the privilege be reserved to the city of developing its own power. In conclusion, your committee reports in favor of the proposition submitted by the company with qualifications as set forth above, but we regard it as highly necessary that before any agreement of this sort is entered into, the city should engage the services of a first class franchise lawyer and a first class electrical engineer to carefully go through the said agreement and make their recommendations accordingly to the city council. Following the presentation of the report, some discussion followed. Mr. Brutinel was present himself at the meeting and was able to give information as to the objects which the company had In view. The discussion was very free in character, Mr. Brutinel answering all questions put to him by the members present. He stated, in reply to a question put by the president, A. J. Morris, as to why certain advertisements were inserted in different papers that his company was not. directly responsible for that. He had organized the Prince Rupert Hydro-Electric Company, which took over the holdings of the Tsimpsean company and also the Continental company. While the capital was available by those interested to carry out the work it was deemed wise to put on sale a part of the stock. Certain brokers had, he was sorry to say, advertised without the knowledge of the company, and inserted misstatements as to the facts. As soon as his company's attention was called to it these were withdrawn. Mr. Brutinel also stated that his company was anxious to do business on fair terms with the city. This was a wise policy, he felt, by the company. He mentioned that negotiations were on with the city council, but as to the results reached he could not yet say. He could say that the negotiations had taken a line that was not anticipated by him when he made the original proposition to the city. How far they would succeed in reaching a settlement he could not say, but there was an evident, disposition to deal fairly with the company. It would take a little time yet before he could say definitely what the result would be. He would prefer to submit to the directors the propositions before deciding the matter. Dealing with the importance of having the company engaged In business here, Mr. Brutinel explained that with an expenditure such as his company had in view, reaching about $2,500,000, they could not afford to have the investment He idle. If Industries did not come in to become consumers of the power it would be necessary for his company to interest themselves in lines which would lead to the Introduction of manufactures that would be larg users of powr. This would be done by his company and the city of Prince Rupert would reap the benefit. His company had no desire to Interfere with the city In the development of its own power. They were willing to furnish the city with power for civic use and for small consumers, leaving the company free to supply the large consumers. On motion of H. F. McRae, seconded by W. P. Lynch, the following resolution was carried. "That inasmuch as the Tsimpsean Light and Power Company are asking for no exclusive rights in this agreement, thus leaving the city in a position to develop their own power at any time they wish, that the Board of Trade put itself on record in favor of this tentative agreement subject to the minor changes recommended by the committee and that a copy be sent to the city council." o WILL ALTER PLANS Canadian Northern Railway Will Change Its Proposed Route Along Fraser River. The Intention of Paralleling the P. It. Has Been Abandoned by the Company Jhitlttle,3-lear.. .tn. . et et et etaii The Canadian Northern Railway has with drawn its application to the railway commission for permission to parallel the C. P. R. tracks on the C. P. R. right-of-way along the Fraser River from Lytton to Cisco bridge, where the C. P. R. crosses the river to its west bank. At the hearing held here last year the application was opposed by the C.P.R. on the ground that the applicant had no status as it was a provincial corporation, the Canadian Northern Pacific Railway, and therefore had no authority to expropriate C. P. R. right-of-way. It was also urged that the building of a line lower down the canyon would be a menace owing to the danger of the C. P. R. embankment becoming undermined. An export report on the question of the feasibility of the proposition from an engineering standpoint was prepared at the instance of the two roads by C. F. Cartwright, C.E., for submission to the commission. Mr. Cartwright made a report, which has been before the commission for many months. The original plan submitted by the Canadian Northern, whose British Columbia section is being built under the provincial charter above referred to, involved the bridging of the main Thompson River a few miles above Lytton and the paralleling of the C. P. R. main line down the canyon as far as Cisco bridge. In stead, it is now proposed to sbumit to the railway commission an amended plan whereby a line can be ullt without infringing on the C. P. R. right-of-way. It provides for onet bridge across the main Thompson River and two bridges across the Fraser. The route as planned and approved by T. H. White, chief engineer, of the Canadian Northern, will not be more than 1,000 feet longer than the original plan to parallel the C. P. R. through the canyon. Briefly, it means the bridging of the main Thompson two miles above Lytton. Then the line will follow the Thompson to Lytton at the confluence of the two rivers and descend the east bank of the Fraser for a distance of half a mile, when the first crossing of the Fraser will take place. Next the line will descend the opposite bank five miles, crossing back to the other side of the Fraser about 1,000 feet above the C. P. R. bridge at Cisco. All the way down the main Thompson river and down the Fraser the Canadian Northern Railway line will run 200 feet below the C. P. R. tracks without invading the C. P. R. right- of-way. The amended plan, while providing for two bridges across the Fraser, where none were originally intended, will be a substitute for the project of paralleling the C. P. R. tracks on C. P. R. right-of-way down to Cisco bridge. The original survey established the fact that the line could not be built through the canyon without the expenditure of a large amount of money for concrete retaining walls for t.ee embankment. The second, or lower proposed bridge across the Fraser at Cisco will be built at a higher elevation than the existing C. P. R. bridge there, and willlike- ly be of the cantilever type. The proposed bridge, half a mile below Lytton, as well as the other proposed bridge across the main Thompson above Lytton, will be an ordinary span affair. Although the amended plan pro. vides for two additional bridges, the cost may not exceed the ependitxure involved in the original design as the building of a roadbed on concrete supports through the canyon and below the C. P. R. tracks means a very formidable undertaking.
